NOTE
1. MANAGEMENT’S
REPRESENTATIONS
The
consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Aftersoft Group, Inc. (“Aftersoft” or the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America has been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.
Operating
results for the three months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30,
2010. It is suggested that the consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2009, which was filed with the SEC on September 25, 2009. The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 12, 2009, the filing
date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and determined that no subsequent
events have occurred that would require recognition in the condensed
consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto, other than
as disclosed in the accompanying notes.
NOTE
2. BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
On
November 24, 2008, Auto Data Network, Inc. (“ADNW”), the former parent of
Aftersoft, distributed a dividend of the 71,250,000 shares of Aftersoft common
shares that ADNW owned at such time in order to complete the previously
announced spin-off of Aftersoft’s business. The dividend shares were
distributed in the form of a pro rata dividend to the holders of record as of
November 17, 2008 (the “Record Date”) of ADNW’s common and convertible preferred
stock. Each holder of record of shares of ADNW common and preferred stock as of
the close of business on the Record Date was entitled to receive 0.6864782
shares of Aftersoft's common stock for each share of common stock of ADNW held
at such time, and/or for each share of ADNW common stock that such holder would
own, assuming the convertible preferred stock owned on the Record Date was
converted in full. Prior to the spin-off, ADNW owned approximately
77% of Aftersoft’s issued and outstanding common stock. Subsequent to and as a
result of the spin-off, Aftersoft is no longer a subsidiary of ADNW (see Notes
3).
Aftersoft
is a leading provider of business and supply chain management solutions
primarily to automotive parts manufacturers, retailers, tire and service chains,
independent installers and wholesale distributors in the automotive aftermarket.
The Company conducts its businesses through wholly owned subsidiaries with
operations in Europe and North America. MAM Software Limited (“MAM”) is based in
Sheffield, United Kingdom (“UK”) and Aftersoft Network, NA, Inc. (“ASNA”) and
MAM Software Inc. (“MAM US”) have offices in the United States (“US”) in Dana
Point, California, Allentown, Pennsylvania and Wintersville, Ohio.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
The
Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such
as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging
arrangements.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At September
30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company did not have balances in these accounts
in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. For banks outside of the United States,
the Company maintains its cash accounts at financial institutions which it
believes to be credit worthy.
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not
being held for investment purposes.
Customers
The
Company performs periodic evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances
for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. The Company generally does not
require collateral to secure its accounts receivable. Credit risk is managed by
discontinuing sales to customers who are delinquent. The Company estimates
credit losses and returns based on management’s evaluation of historical
experience and current industry trends. Although the Company expects to collect
amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated
amounts.
No
customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable or
revenues during the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and
2008.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company operates in one reportable segment. The Company evaluates
financial performance on a Company-wide basis.
Geographic
Concentrations
The
Company conducts business in the US, Canada and the UK. For customers
headquartered in their respective countries, the Company derived 28% of its
revenues from the US, 1% from Canada and 71% from its UK operations during the
three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 21% from the US, 2% from
Canada and 77% from the UK for the three months ended Septrember 30, 2008. At
September 30, 2009, the Company maintained 56% of its net property and equipment
in the UK and the remaining 44% in the US.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by the
Company’s management include, but are not limited to, the collectability of
accounts receivable, the realizability of inventories, the fair value of
investments in available-for-sale securities, the recoverability of goodwill and
other long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the estimated
value of warrants and shares issued for non-cash consideration. Actual results
could materially differ from those estimates.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, investments in available-for-sale securities, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt instruments.
Financial
assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at each
reporting period are classified and disclosed in one of the following three
categories:

assets or liabilities.
|

·
|
Level
2 – Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than
Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through
corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i)
quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii)
quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or
liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by
observable market data.
|
|
·
|
Level
3 – Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require
significant unobservable data inputs. Inputs would normally be a reporting
entity’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or
liability.
|
Available-for-Sale
Securities
Management
determines the appropriate classification of its investments in equity
securities with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for
under the equity method of accounting at the time of purchase and re-evaluates
such classification as of each balance sheet date. The specific identification
method is used to determine the cost basis of securities disposed of. Unrealized
gains and losses on the marketable securities are included as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. At September
30, 2009, investments consist of corporate stock with a carrying value of
$0. During the year ended June 30, 2009 the Company wrote down its
investment in available-for-sale securities to $0, which is now the Company’s
new cost basis in the securities. The Company will not recognize any
gain or loss on the securities unless they are sold.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or current estimated market value. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist primarily
of hardware that will be sold to customers. The Company periodically reviews its
inventories and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based
primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production
requirements. Once established, write-downs of inventories are considered
permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the obsolete or excess
inventories.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, and are being depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets
or the related lease terms. Equipment under capital lease obligations is
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets
or the term of the lease. Maintenance and routine repairs are charged to expense
as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time
of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Depreciation
expense was $50,000 and $39,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively.
Software
Development Costs
Costs
incurred to develop computer software products to be sold or otherwise marketed
are charged to expense until technological feasibility of the product has been
established. Once technological feasibility has been established, computer
software development costs (consisting primarily of internal labor costs) are
capitalized and reported at the lower of amortized cost or estimated realizable
value. Purchased software development cost is recorded at its estimated fair
market value. When a product is ready for general release, its capitalized costs
are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of three years. If
the future market viability of a software product is less than anticipated,
impairment of the related unamortized development costs could occur, which could
significantly impact the recorded loss of the Company. Amortization expense was
$51,000 and $57,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Amortizable
Intangible Assets
Intangible
assets that have finite useful lives be amortized over their useful lives. Amortizable intangible
assets consist of completed software technology, customer relationships and
automotive data services and are recorded at cost. Completed software technology
and customer relationships are amortized using the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives of 8 to 10 years, and automotive data services are
amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 20
years. Amortization expense on amortizable intangible assets was $181,000 and
$172,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill
and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not to be amortized
but rather be tested at least annually for impairment.
Goodwill
is subject to impairment reviews by applying a fair-value-based test at the
reporting unit level, which generally represents operations one level below the
segments reported by the Company. An impairment loss is recorded for any
goodwill that is determined to be impaired, which resulted in an $850,000
impairment charge in fiscal 2009. The impairment relates to ASNA as a
result of continuing operating losses and less optimistic operating forecasts.
The estimated fair value of ASNA was determined using present value techniques.
There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or
demand for the Company’s products and services will continue which could result
in additional impairment of goodwill in the future. The Company performs
impairment testing on all existing goodwill at least annually.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2009, goodwill activity was as
follows:

Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company’s management assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets (other
than goodwill discussed above) upon the occurrence of a triggering event by
determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets over
their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future
cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment, if any, is measured based
on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived
asset impairment is determined by management. At September 30, 2009, management
believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no
assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the
Company’s products and services will continue, which could result in impairment
of long-lived assets in the future.
Issuance
of Stock to Non-Employees for Non-Cash Consideration
All
issuances of the Company’s stock to non-employees for non-cash consideration
have been assigned a per share amount equaling either the market value of the
shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily
determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration received pertains to
services rendered by consultants and others.

The
measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is
determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance
by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant
or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to
consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term
of the consulting agreement. An asset acquired in exchange for the
issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be
presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet
once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes.
Stock-Based
Compensation
For
valuing stock options awards, the Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes
valuation model. For the expected term, the Company has historically
used a simple average of the vesting period and the contractual term of the
option. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price
is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of the option. For volatility
the Company considers its own volatility as applicable for valuing its options
and warrants. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and
revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from
those estimates. The risk-free interest rate is based on the relevant US
Treasury Bill Rate at the time each grant. The dividend yield represents the
dividend rate expected to be paid over the option’s expected term; the Company
currently has no plans to pay dividends.
On June
12, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the Aftersoft Group Inc. 2007
Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common
stock that may be issued under the plan, including stock awards, and stock
appreciation rights is limited to 15% of the shares of common stock outstanding
on the first trading day of any fiscal year. The Company issued restricted
shares to management and board members in fiscal 2009 and to board members in
fiscal 2010 under this plan (see Note 7).
Revenue
Recognition
Software
license revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery of the product component has occurred, the fee is fixed and
determinable, and collectability is probable. If any of these criteria are not
met, revenue recognition is deferred until such time as all of the criteria are
met.
The
Company accounts for delivered elements in accordance with the residual method
when arrangements include multiple product components or other elements and
vendor-specific objective evidence exists for the value of all undelivered
elements. Revenues on undelivered elements are recognized once delivery is
complete.
In those
instances where arrangements include significant customization, contractual
milestones, acceptance criteria or other contingencies (which represents the
majority of the Company’s arrangements), the Company accounts for the
arrangements using contract accounting, as follows:
|
1)
|
When
customer acceptance can be estimated, expenditures are capitalized as work
in process and deferred until completion of the contract at which time the
costs and revenues are recognized.
|
|
2)
|
When
customer acceptance cannot be estimated based on historical evidence,
costs are expensed as incurred and revenue is recognized at the completion
of the contract when customer acceptance is
obtained.
|
The
Company records amounts collected from customers in excess of recognizable
revenue as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet.
Revenues
for maintenance agreements, software support, on-line services and information
products are recognized ratably over the term of the service
agreement.

Advertising
Expense
The
Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. For the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, advertising expense totaled $28,000 and $10,000,
respectively.
Foreign
Currency
Management
has determined that the functional currency of its subsidiaries is the local
currency. Assets and liabilities of the UK subsidiaries are translated into US
dollars at the quarter-end exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at
an average exchange rate for the period and the resulting translation (loss)
gain adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’
equity, which totaled $126,000 and ($1,048,000) for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Foreign
currency gains and losses from transactions denominated in other than respective
local currencies are included in income. The Company had no foreign currency
transaction gains (losses) for all periods presented.
Comprehensive
Loss
Comprehensive
loss includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner
sources. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the components
of comprehensive loss consist of changes in foreign currency translation gains
(losses). For the three months ended September 30, 2008,
comprehensive loss also consisted of changes in unrealized loss on investments
in available-for-sale securities.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.
Deferred taxation is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing
differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting
purposes. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per common share are computed based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share
are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares
outstanding assuming all potential dilutive common shares were issued. During
periods in which the Company incurs losses, common stock equivalents, if any,
are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the
three months ended September 30, 2009, there were no dilutive shares and a total
of 21,798,135 common stock purchase warrants and debt convertible into 3,361,345
shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their
effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30,
2008 a total of 21,798,135 common stock purchase warrants and debt convertible
into 3,333,333 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per
share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
On
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard relating to
noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the retained interest and gain or loss when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard relating to business
combinations, including assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from
contingencies. This standard requires the use of the acquisition method of
accounting, defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date and applies
to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over
one or more other businesses. The adoption of this standard did not have a
significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard relating to disclosures
about derivative instruments and hedging activities, which requires additional
disclosures that include how and why an entity uses derivatives, how these
instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for and how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. The adoption of this standard
did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard regarding the determination
of the useful life of intangible assets that removes the requirement to consider
whether an intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost or material
modifications to the existing terms and conditions, and replaces it with a
requirement that an entity consider its own historical experience in renewing
similar arrangements, or a consideration of market participant assumptions in
the absence of historical experience. This standard also requires entities to
disclose information that enables users of financial statements to assess the
extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the asset are
affected by the entity’s intent and/or ability to renew or extend the
arrangements. The adoption of this standard did not have a
significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard that amends the
requirements for disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for
annual, as well as interim, reporting periods. The adoption of this standard did
not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard designed to create greater
clarity and consistency in accounting for, and presenting impairment losses on,
debt securities. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard regarding estimating fair
value measurements when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability has significantly decreased, which also provides guidance for
identifying transactions that are not orderly. The adoption of this standard did
not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
On July
1, 2009 the Company adopted the accounting standard update regarding the
measurement of liabilities at fair value. This standard update provides
techniques to use in measuring fair value of a liability in circumstances in
which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available. This standard update is effective prospectively for all interim and
annual reporting periods upon issuance (see Note 5).
Other
Recent Accounting Standards
In
September 2009, the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable
arrangements was updated to require the use of the relative selling price method
when allocating revenue in these types of arrangements. This method allows
a vendor to use its best estimate of selling price if neither vendor specific
objective evidence nor third party evidence of selling price exists when
evaluating multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update must be
adopted no later than July 1, 2010 and may be adopted prospectively for
revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of
adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods
presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard update
will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In
September 2009, the accounting standard regarding arrangements that include
software elements was updated to require tangible products that contain software
and non-software elements that work together to deliver the products essential
functionality to be evaluated under the accounting standard regarding multiple
deliverable arrangements. This standard update must be adopted no later than
July 1, 2010 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements
entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or
retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard update will have on its
consolidated financial statements.
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard that provides
guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or
embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard
applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have
the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial
instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a
result of the adoption, 5,083,333 of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative
treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment. These warrants
have an average exercise price of $0.21 and expiration dates of December 31,
2013. In addition, amounts related to the embedded conversion feature of
convertible notes issued previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative
treatment exemption were also no longer afforded equity treatment. As such,
effective July 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of these common
stock purchase warrants and recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion
features, which both have exercise price reset features, from equity to
liability status as if these warrants and embedded conversion features were
treated as a derivative liability since the earliest date of issue in December
2007. On July 1, 2009, the Company reclassified from additional paid-in
capital, as a cumulative effect adjustment, approximately $868,000 to derivative
liabilities, increased the debt discount and derivative liabilities by a gross
amount of approximately $310,000, decreased accumulated deficit by approximately
$620,000 for the change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the period
from December 2007 through June 30, 2009 and increased accumulated deficit by
approximately $158,000 for additional amortization of debt discount for the
period from December 2007 through June 30, 2009. The fair value of the common
stock purchase warrants was $455,525 and the embedded conversion feature was
$65,699 on September 30, 2009. The total value of these derivative
liabilities declined from $558,010 to $521,224 as of September 30, 2009. As
such, the Company recognized approximately $38,000 gain from the
change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the three months ended
September 30, 2009.
All
future changes in the fair value of these warrants and embedded conversion
features will be recognized in earnings until such time as the warrants are
exercised or expire and the debt is converted to common stock or repaid. These
common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and
as such, the Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Expected
volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility
was computed using weekly pricing observations for recent periods. The Company
believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of the
Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these
warrants. The Company currently has no reason to believe future volatility over
the expected remaining life of these warrants is likely to differ materially
from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of
the warrants. The risk-free rate is based on the US Treasury rate that
corresponds to the expected term of the warrants and conversion
feature.
Determining
which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires

NOTE 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH FORMER PARENT
COMPANY
On
November 24, 2008 (the “Dividend Distribution Date”), ADNW distributed the
dividend of the 71,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that ADNW owned
at such time in order to complete the spin-off of Aftersoft’s businesses. The
dividend shares were distributed in the form of a pro rata dividend to the
holders of record as of November 17, 2008 (the “Record Date”) of ADNW’s common
and convertible preferred stock. Each holder of record of shares of ADNW common
and preferred stock as of the close of business on the Record Date was entitled
to receive 0.6864782 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of
common stock of ADNW held at such time, and/or for each share of ADNW common
stock that such holder would own, assuming the convertible preferred stock owned
on the Record Date was converted in full. Prior to the spin-off, ADNW
owned approximately 77% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.
Subsequent to and as a result of the spin-off, the Company is no longer a
subsidiary of ADNW.

ADNW
attempted to settle an old outstanding obligation of ADNW of $775,000 with Mr.
Blumenthal (see Note 6) for 4,400,000 shares of ADNW common stock. The value of
the shares declined and Mr. Blumenthal elected not to accept the ADNW shares as
full compensation, and later demanded that the Company settle ADNW’s liability
with additional or different consideration. In April 2008, the Company accepted
the 4,400,000 shares from ADNW valued at $484,000 in exchange for attempting to
settle ADNW’s liability. The difference between the value of the ADNW shares and
the amount of ADNW’s initial obligation of $291,000 was recorded as general and
administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations during such
period. Upon further diligence and review of the matter during the quarter ended
December 31, 2008, the Company determined that no contractual or transactional
basis exists which would have resulted in the assumption of any liability in
this regard. Thus, the Company does not believe it has an enforceable
legal obligation to further compensate Mr. Blumenthal.
In August
2009, the Company received correspondence from Mr. Blumenthal (see Note
6).
During
the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company liquidated 5,231,622 common shares of
ADNW for net proceeds of $889,000, and issued 2,000,000 common shares of ADNW in
settlement of ADNW obligations. As a result of the Company’s ownership of
certain ADNW securities, the Company received approximately 13,965,295 shares of
its own common stock in connection with the spin-off dividend
distribution. On December 31, 2008, the Company retired 13,722,112 of
the shares. The remaining 243,183 shares were used by the Company for rounding
of fractional shares issued in respect of the spin-off dividend, to make
adjustments for the benefit of the holders of ADNW’s Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock which received fewer shares in connection with the spin-off than
the number to which they were entitled as a result of a calculation error
relating to the Series B conversion rate, and for other minor
adjustments.
As a
result of the above transactions, the Company no longer owns any shares of ADNW
stock as of September 30, 2009
NOTE 4. INVESTMENT IN AVAILABLE -FOR-SALE
SECURITIES
The
Company received a total of 4,433,284 shares of First London PLC (formerly First
London Securities) from the sale of EXP . The shares had been listed for trading
on the London Plus Exchange, but effective September 30, 2009 the shares were
delisted.
The
Company owns approximately 3% of First London PLC, and completely wrote down its
investment and recognized a loss of $4,723,000 because of an
other-than-temporary impairment as of June 30, 2009. The recognition of this
impairment loss in the statement of operations resulted in the reversal in other
comprehensive loss of a previously unrealized loss of $184,000 for
the year ended June 30, 2009. At September 30, 2008, investments consist of
corporate stock with an unrealized loss of $932,000.
Factors
considered in determining whether impairments are other-than-temporary include
(i) the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than
the amortized cost basis, (ii) the financial condition and near-term
prospects of the investee and (iii) the Company’s intent and ability to
hold an investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated
recovery in market value.

ComVest
Loan Agreement
On
December 21, 2007, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and
Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with ComVest Capital LLC (“ComVest”),
as lender, pursuant to which ComVest agreed to extend a $1,000,000 secured
revolving Credit Facility and a $5,000,000 Term Loan. The Loan Agreement
contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including maximum limits
for capital expenditures per fiscal year, and ratios for liquidity. In
connection with obtaining a waiver for a violation of loan covenants at March
31, 2008, the Company reduced the exercise price from $0.3125 per share to $0.11
per share for one million warrants held by ComVest (see below), recognizing the
incremental fair value of the modified warrants of $24,000 as additional
interest expense.
As of
June 30, 2008, in connection with obtaining a waiver for a violation of loan
covenants, the Company and ComVest amended the Loan Agreement and modified
certain covenants. The cash flow ratio coverage was reduced and the lender
agreed to extend from January 1, 2009 until January 1, 2010 the start of the
loan amortization. As part of the amendment, ComVest required the Company to
reduce the exercise price from $0.39 to $0.11 for 2,000,000 warrants held by
ComVest (see below). The incremental fair value of the modified warrants is
$15,000, which was recorded as an additional debt discount and is being
amortized over the remaining life of the term loan.
As of
December 31, 2008, in connection with obtaining a waiver for violation of
certain loan covenants, the Company and ComVest agreed to increase the interest
on the $1,000,000 Credit Facility (described below) from 9.5% to 11%. The
amendment did not meet the requirements of a Modification or Exchange of Debt
Instruments, therefore no adjustment to the financial statements was
required.
Pursuant
to a waiver and amendment, the annual interest rate was restored to 9.5% as the
Company became compliant with the covenant as of the close of the quarter ending
on March 31, 2009.
Effective
April 22, 2009, the Company and ComVest amended the loan agreement and modified
certain covenants relating to the required ratio of (a) Earning Before Interest,
Depreciation, and Amortization, minus capital expenditures incurred to (b) debt
service (all interest and principal payments) ("Debt Service") (the "EBIDA
Ratio") contained in the Loan Agreement (the "Covenant"). Pursuant to the April
22, 2009 Amendment, the Covenant requires that the applicable minimum EBIDA
Ratio be met as of the end of the quarter for such fiscal quarter. Prior to the
April 22, 2009 Amendment, the Covenant required that the applicable minimum
EBIDA Ratio be met as of the end of each quarter of any fiscal year for the four
(4) consecutive quarters then ended. The minimum EBIDA Ratios
themselves were not modified by the April 22, 2009 Amendment, and remain at
0.71:1.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009; 0.50:1.00 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009; and 1.25:1.00 for the quarter ended on or after September 30,
2009.
After
obtaining the above waivers, the Company is not in violation of any loan
covenants at each of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009.
Credit Facility and Revolving Credit
Note. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Credit Facility
became available on December 21, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), and the initial
maturity date was November 30, 2009. The Company had the option of
extending the maturity date of the Credit Facility for one additional year,
through November 30, 2010 upon written notice to ComVest provided that no
default or event of default have occurred and are continuing at that time, and
provided that the maturity date of the Credit Facility has not been accelerated
due to prepayment in full of the Term Loan. On September 9, 2009 the
Company notified ComVest of its election to extend the maturity date of the
credit facility to November 30, 2010.
The
Credit Facility provides for borrowing capacity of an amount up to (at any time
outstanding) the lesser of the borrowing base at the time of each advance under
the Credit Facility, or $1,000,000. The borrowing base at any time is an amount
determined in accordance with a borrowing base report the Company is required to
provide to ComVest, based upon the Company’s Eligible Accounts and Eligible
Inventory, as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement.

In
connection with the Credit Facility, the Company issued a Revolving Credit Note
(the “Credit Note”) payable to ComVest in the principal amount of $1,000,000,
bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate,
as announced by Citibank, N.A. from time to time, plus two percent (2%), or (b)
nine and one-half percent (9.5%). The interest rate, which was 9.5% from the
Closing Date through December 31, 2008, had been increased from 9.5% to 11% in
connection with obtaining a waiver from ComVest for violation of certain loan
covenants as described above. As of April 1, 2009, the
Company had regained compliance with the loan covenants and the interest rate
was reduced from 11% back to 9.5%. The applicable interest rate will be
increased by four hundred (400) basis points during the continuance of any event
of default under the Loan Agreement. Interest is computed on the daily unpaid
principal balance and is payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each
calendar month commencing January 1, 2008. Interest is also payable upon
maturity or acceleration of the Credit Note.
The
Company has the right to prepay all or a portion of the principal balance on the
Credit Note at any time, upon written notice, with no penalty. The Credit Note
is secured pursuant to the provisions of certain Security
Documents.
The
Company also has the option to terminate the Credit Facility at any time upon
five business days’ prior written notice, and upon payment to ComVest of all
outstanding principal and accrued interest of the advances on the Credit
Facility, and prorated accrued commitment fees. The Credit Facility commitment
also terminates, and all obligations become immediately due and payable, upon
the consummation of a Sale, which is defined in the Loan Agreement as certain
changes of control or sale or transfers of a material portion of the Company’s
assets.
At
September 30, 2009, the Company had drawn down the $1,000,000 Credit Facility in
full. The interest rate as of September 30, 2009 was
9.5%.
Term Loan and Convertible Term Note.
Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, ComVest extended to the
Company a Term Loan in the principal amount of $5,000,000, on the Closing Date.
The Term Loan is a one-time loan, and unlike the Credit Facility, the principal
amount is not available for re-borrowing.
The Term
Loan is evidenced by a Convertible Term Note (the “Term Note”) issued by the
Company on the Closing Date, and payable to ComVest in the principal amount of
$5,000,000. The Term Note bears interest at a rate of eleven percent (11%) per
annum, except that during the continuance of any event of default, the interest
rate will be increased to sixteen percent (16%).
As
amended (see ”ComVest Loan Agreement” above), the Term Note is repayable in 11
equal monthly installments of approximately $208,333, payable on first day of
each calendar month commencing January 1, 2010 through November 1, 2010, with
the balance of $2,708,333 due on November 30, 2010.
The
Company has the option to prepay the principal balance of the Term Note in whole
or in part, at any time, upon 15 days’ prior written notice. The Company will be
required to prepay the Term Loan in whole or part under certain circumstances.
In the event that the Company prepays all or a portion of the Term Loan, the
Company will ordinarily pay a prepayment premium in an amount equal to (i) three
percent (3%) of the principal amount being prepaid if such prepayment is made or
is required to be made on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, and (ii) one percent (1%) of the principal amount being prepaid if such
prepayment is made or is required to be made subsequent to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date.
The
principal and interest payable on the Term Note is convertible into shares of
the Company’s common stock at the option of ComVest. In addition, the
Company may require conversion of the principal and interest under certain
circumstances. The initial conversion price was $1.50 per
share. The number of shares issuable upon conversion of the
Term Note (the “Conversion Shares”), and/or the conversion price, may be
proportionately adjusted in the event of any stock dividend, distribution, stock
split, stock combination, stock consolidation, recapitalization or
reclassification or similar transaction. In addition, the number of Conversion
Shares, and/or the conversion price may be adjusted in the event of certain
sales or issuances of shares of the Company’s common stock, or securities
entitling any person to acquire shares of common stock, at any time while the
Term Note is outstanding, at an effective price per share which is less than the
then-effective conversion price of the Term Note.
On July
3, 2008, the conversion price for the Term Note was reduced from $1.50 to $1.49
as a result of certain anti-dilution protection contained therein following the
issuance by the Company of additional shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase common stock. Consequently, the number of shares issuable upon
conversion of the principal amount of the Tern Note was increased to 3,361,345
shares from 3,333,333 shares.

The
Company incurred a closing fee of $100,000 in connection with the Term Loan. In
connection with the Credit Facility, the Company has agreed to pay an annual
commitment fee of $15,000, on December 1 of each year, commencing December 1,
2008, and on any termination date (pro-rated, if applicable), that the Credit
Facility is in effect, as well as a collateral monitoring and administrative fee
of $1,500 per month.
The
expenses of this financing were approximately $641,000, which included a
finder’s fee of $300,000, lender fees of $190,000 and professional and due
diligence fees of approximately $151,000. The net proceeds to the Company were
approximately $4,359,000. The fees were allocated between debt issuance costs
and debt discount. The debt issuance costs of $478,000 were recorded on the date
of entering into the agreement in other assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets and are being amortized and charged to interest expense over the
term of the loan using the effective interest method. The balance of the Debt
issuance costs was approximately $85,000 as of September 30, 2009 and is
included in Other long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet. A debt discount of $163,000 was recorded in the consolidated
balance sheet on the date of entering into the agreement as a reduction in the
carrying value of the debt, and is being amortized and charged to interest
expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.
Additionally, due to the adoption of the accounting standard that provides
guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or
embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock, the Company recorded an
additional $310,000 of debt discount as if incurred on the date of the agreement
(see Note 2). The balance of the debt discount is approximately
$334,000 as of September 30, 2009.
Warrants. In connection with
the Loan Agreement, the Company issued warrants to ComVest to purchase the
following amounts of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, exercisable after the
Closing Date and expiring December 31, 2013: a) Warrant to purchase 1,000,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.3125 per share; b) Warrant to
purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.39 per
share; and c) Warrant to purchase 2,083,333 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.3625 per share; (each, a “Warrant”) (the 5,083,333 shares
collectively issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as
the “Warrant Shares”). The exercise prices of certain of these
warrants were amended, as described under “ComVest Loan Agreement” above. The relative fair value
of the Warrant Shares is $868,000 using a Black Scholes valuation model and also
contains a cashless exercise feature. The warrant valuation was
computed using a 3.5% risk-free interest rate, a 99% volatility and a six-year
life. The value of the Warrant Shares is included in debt discount, is recorded
in the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction in the carrying value of the
debt, and is being amortized and charged to interest expense over the term of
the loan using the effective interest method.

number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant Shares, and/or the
applicable exercise prices may be adjusted in the event of certain issuances of
shares of the Company’s common stock, or securities entitling any person to
acquire shares of common stock, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding,
at an effective price per share which is less than the then-effective exercise
prices of the Warrants.
The
Company also granted certain registration rights and piggyback registration
rights to the holder(s) of the securities underlying the Term Note and
Warrants. The registration for the sales of the securities underlying
the Term Note and Warrants was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 1, 2009.
The
Company issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock as
compensation to a consultant for assistance in securing the $5,000,000 Term
Loan. The warrants were valued at $42,000 using a Black-Scholes valuation model
and are included in debt issuance cost. The warrant valuation was computed using
a 3.5% risk free interest rate, a 99% volatility and a six-year
life.
Amortization
of debt discount was $69,000 and amortization of debt issuance costs was $51,000

months ended September 30, 2008. The unamortized debt discount
related to the debt issuance costs, the warrants and the conversion feature was
$43,000, $241,000 and $50,000, respectively.
Homann
Note
The
Company repaid the note payable to Homann Tire LTD (“Homann”) during the three
months ended September 30, 2009. This note in
the principal amount of $125,000, with interest at 8% per annum, had an initial
maturity date of April 29, 2009 (see Note 6). The terms of the note included
interest only payments of $833 per month. A principal payment of $25,000 was
made in April 2007. The remaining balance of $125,000 was payable on April
2009. On April 3, 2009, the Company amended the payment terms
and agreed to repay the note in six monthly installments of $21,450 which
includes interest at 10%. The amendment did not meet the requirements
of a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, therefore no adjustment to
the financial statements was required. The final payment was made in September
2009.
McKenna
Note
The
Company issued an unsecured note payable to Mr. A. McKenna in the original
amount of $825,000, that was due July 2009, with interest at 8% per annum,
payable in 24 monthly installments of $37,313 including interest. The Company is
currently paying $18,650 per month including interest pursuant to the current
payment schedule and the note will be fully paid by March 2010. In
February 2009, the Company orally advised Mr. McKenna that it would reduce the
monthly payment to the current $18,650 per month, but there is no written
amendment to the note between the Company and Mr. McKenna. Since
February 2009, the note holder has accepted the reduced monthly payments, and
has not notified the Company of any violations of the terms and conditions of
the payment agreement. The Company expects to satisfy this obligation from
free cash flow.

The
Company has secured notes totaling $344,000 payable over 24 to 60 months with

On August 1, 2007, the Company
and Mr. McKenna entered into an agreement that settled this outstanding
matter. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company paid Mr. McKenna
$2,000,000 in cash, issued him an 8% promissory note in the principal
amount of $825,000, which is payable over 24 months, and issued Mr.
McKenna 1,718,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which represented
$825,000 at a value of $0.48 per share (the closing price of the Company’s
Common Stock on the date of settlement). Mr. McKenna was also entitled to
warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock at the
same price. Upon entering this agreement all parties agreed to withdraw
all existing litigation and claims. The Company finalized its agreement
with McKenna on September 6, 2007 and revised its litigation accrual to
$3,650,000 to reflect the settlement. The shares were issued in August
2007 (see Notes 7, 9 and 10 to the Company’s audited consolidated
financial statements). In November 2007, the Company amended the
settlement agreement and issued 1,718,750 warrants to purchase Common
Stock for $0.48 per share. The warrants were issued to replace the Common
Stock included in the settlement agreement. In February 2009, the Company
orally advised Mr. McKenna that it would reduce the monthly payment on the
note to $18,650 per month from $37,313 per month, but there is no written
amendment to the note between the Company and Mr.
McKenna. Since February 2009, the note holder has accepted the
reduced monthly payments, and has not notified the Company of any
violations of the terms and conditions of the payment agreement. The
Company expects to satisfy this obligation from free cash

The Company entered into a
settlement agreement with Mr. Arthur Blumenthal, a former shareholder of
Anderson BDG, Inc. Mr. Blumenthal’s lawsuit against the Company’s parent
ADNW emanated from an agreement Mr. Blumenthal had with a subsidiary of
the Company, ASNA (f/k/a CarParts Technologies, Inc.) for the purchase of
Anderson BDG, that had not been settled although it was past due. The
Company assumed the liability as part of a plan of spinning off certain
businesses into the Company and renegotiated the agreement with Mr.
Blumenthal, the terms of which required the Company to make a payment of
$50,000 cash and the issuance to Mr. Blumenthal and registration of
300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were issued in fiscal
2007 and valued at $0.48 per share, (the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of settlement) or $144,000. The Company
subsequently completely settled the lawsuit with Mr. Blumenthal and repaid
his notes in fiscal 2008.

On August
21 2009, the Company’s counsel received two notifications on behalf of the
Company from Mr. Blumenthal’s counsel. One letter makes certain
demands on the Company in respect of Mr. Blumenthal’s sale of the software
program VAST to one of the Company’s predecessor organizations, and asserts that
the Company owes Mr. Blumenthal $936,776. The second letter asserts certain
rights of Mr. Blumenthal with respect to his employment with the Company and
asserts that the Company owes Mr. Blumenthal approximately $136,612. The Company
is continuing is continuing discussions with Mr. Blumenthal’s attorneys, but is
unable to predict how successful such discussions will be, or whether formal
litigation will be filed or the outcome of any litigation, if
filed.

Indemnities
and Guarantees
The
Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be
required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to
certain actions or transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors,
officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the State of
Delaware. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has indemnified
its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. In
connection with its customers’ contracts the Company indemnifies the customer
that the software provided does not violate any US patent. The duration of the
guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the
agreement. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of
the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make.
Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for
these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these
indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet.
The
Company has agreed to indemnify ComVest and its directors, officers, employees,
attorneys and agents against, and to hold ComVest and such persons harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities and related expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, they may incur, arising out of,

2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Some
of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are not
purely historical, are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited
to, statements regarding the Company’s objectives, expectations, hopes, beliefs,
intentions or strategies regarding the future. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,”
“expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,”
“predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other
comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in
the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our actual results could differ
materially from those disclosed in these statements due to various risk factors
and uncertainties affecting our business. We caution you not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not assume responsibility
for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements and we do
not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of
this report to conform them to actual results. You should read the following
discussion in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes
included elsewhere in this report. For a more complete understanding of our
industry, the drivers of our business and our current period results, you should
read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended June 30, 2009 and our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
Aftersoft
Group Inc. is a technology holding company that has two wholly owned
subsidiaries based in the US (ASNA and MAM US) and the U.K. (MAM), which operate
independently from one another. We have and continue to market and develop
business management software solutions that manage both the business and supply
chain for small- and medium-sized firms in the automotive aftermarket. The
automotive aftermarket includes those businesses that supply servicing, parts,
oil, tires, and performance extras to the retail market.
We
believe that the largest single issue facing the automotive aftermarket at this
time is the down turn of the global economy, especially the economics in which
we operate. The constraint of credit within the US and U.K. markets is forcing
automobile owners to retain their existing automobiles far longer than they may
have previously planned. This phenomenon is forcing owners to seek out more
economic ways of maintaining their vehicles, and we believe this presents an
opportunity to the Company. The need for consumers to maintain their vehicles
longer requires service suppliers to offer a wide range of services at highly
competitive prices. We believe that this can be achieved only by those
businesses that are able to efficiently manage their businesses and find methods
to reduce costs without affecting service levels, which may best be done through
investments in ‘up to date’ management information systems, specifically those
designed for the automotive market. However, we have recently noticed that some
businesses wishing to invest in new management systems are also finding their
access to credit reduced. This may have a detrimental effect on our revenues if
customers are unable to fund purchases. We still believe that the aftermarket
landscape will continue to change over the next 18 months, with the convergence
of the aftermarket and tire markets, but this rate of change maybe slower than
first expected. Management still believes that the desire of parts manufacturers
to produce and control their own product catalogues, rather than allowing this
information to be made available by third-party catalog suppliers, will present
opportunities to the Company.
Our
revenue and income is derived primarily from the sale of software, services and
support. In the U.K., we also earn a percentage of our revenue and income from
the sale of hardware systems to clients. In the three months ended September 30,
2009, we generated revenues of $6,212,000 with a net income of $80,000. 71% of
these revenues come from the U.K. market.
We are
headquartered in Chester, U.K. and maintain additional offices for our US
operating subsidiary in Dana Point, California, Allentown, Pennsylvania and
Wintersville, Ohio, and, for our U.K. operating subsidiary, in Sheffield,
Northampton and Wareham in the U.K.
The
software that we sell is mainly based on a Microsoft WindowsTM-based
technology, although we do still have an older ‘Green Screen’ terminal-based
product. The four main products that we sell in the US each relate to a specific
component of the automotive aftermarket supply chain. First is “warehouse
distribution.” Into this market we sell our Direct Step product, which enables
large warehouses with millions of parts to locate, manage, pack and deliver the
parts with ease and efficiency. Second, these parts are distributed to the next
business in the chain, which is the “jobber.” Into this market segment we sell
our Autopart product, which manages a jobber’s whole business (i.e., financial,
stock control and order management) but more importantly enables the jobber to
quickly identify the parts that his client needs, either via the internet or
telephone, so that the correct product for the vehicle on the ramp can be
supplied. The third, and next segment of the automotive aftermarket supply chain
is the “installer,” which repairs and maintains automobiles. The installer needs
systems that enable him to efficiently and simply manage his businesses, whether
as a single entity or national multi-site franchise. Into this segment we sell
VAST. The fourth segment is the “open webs.” This technology allows these three
separate business solutions to connect to each other to allow, among other
processes, ordering, invoicing and stock checking to take place in real-time
both up and down the supply chain. The U.K. market differs from that of the US
in that it does not have the same number of large warehouse distribution
centers, so we do not sell the Direct Step product in the U.K. We continue to
sell the Autopart product to the jobber market, but sell Autowork and Autocat+
to the installer market.
To date,
our management has identified four areas that it believes we need to focus
on.
The first
area is the release of one of our U.K. products developed by MAM, our U.K.
subsidiary, under a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. This is where software
solutions are made available to end-users via the Internet and does not require
them to purchase the software directly but ‘rent’ it over a fixed period of
time. Our management believes that this will be a rapidly growing market for the
U.K. as businesses continue to look for ways of reducing capital expenditures
while maintaining levels of service. Once this has been successfully deployed in
the U.K., we will look to use a similar model in the US.
The
second area of focus is the sales and marketing strategy within the US market.
To date, although increased resources have been made available for sales and
marketing, they have not brought the levels of return that management had
expected. Management has reviewed the U.S. business’ sales processes and
marketing efforts and made what it believes are significant improvements that
will be successful over the next six months. In addition to this, a Head of
Communications and Marketing has recently been appointed and furthering order to
attempt to increase the profile of the U.S. business and its product
offering.
The third
area of focus relates to the continued sales and market initiatives tied to the
Autopart product within the U.S. market. A senior member of the U.K. management
team has been appointed to join the U.S. business to head the efforts relating
to this product along with a complementary DirectStep product. To date this move
has proved successful, as we have increased levels of service and knowledge of
our U.S. staff members, and management believes that this will lead to
significant revenue increases within the next six months .While management
believes that this is the correct route to follow, it is aware that this effort
and the move of personnel may affect the U.K. business following the transfer of
a key member of former U.K. management.
The
fourth area is within the U.K. market and we are continually
working to sustain the previous year’s levels of growth in the U.K.
business by focusing on additional vertical markets, which share common issues
to that of the automotive market. We have developed a reputation of high levels
of service and knowledge within the automotive market; and are now working on
replicating this reputation in these additional verticals markets. Management
intends to carefully monitor this expansion as a result of the current state of
the global economy.
Critical
Accounting Policies
There
were no changes to those policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 except as discussed below.
Effective
July 1, 2009, we adopted the accounting standard that provides guidance for
determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature,
is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any
freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the
characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments
that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a result of the
adoption, 5,083,333 of our issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants
previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were
no longer afforded equity treatment. These warrants have an average exercise
price of $0.21 and expiration dates of December 31, 2013. In addition, amounts
related to the embedded conversion feature of convertible notes issued
previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were
also no longer afforded equity treatment. As such, effective July 1, 2009, we
reclassified the fair value of these common stock purchase warrants and recorded
the fair value of the embedded conversion features, which both have exercise
price reset features, from equity to liability status as if these warrants and
embedded conversion features were treated as a derivative liability since the
earliest date of issue in December 2007.
Impact
of Currency Exchange Rate
Our net
revenue derived from sales in currencies other than the US dollar was 71% for
the three month period ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 77% for the
corresponding period in 2008. As the US dollar strengthens in
relation to the Great Britain Pound (“GBP”), in the comparable periods, our
revenue and income, which is reported in US dollars, is negatively
impacted. Changes in the currency values occur regularly and in some
instances may have a significant effect on our results of
operations.
Income
and expenses of our MAM subsidiary are translated at the average exchange rate
for the period. During the three month period ended September 30, 2009, the
exchange rate for MAM’s operating results was US$1.6416 per GBP1, compared with
US$1.8969 per GBP1 for the three month period ended September 30,
2008.
Assets
and liabilities of our MAM subsidiary are translated into US dollars at the
period-end exchange rates. The exchange rate used for translating our
MAM subsidiary was US$1.5922 per GBP1 at September 30, 2009 and US$1.6520 per
GBP1 at June 30, 2009.
Currency
translation gain and (loss) adjustments are accumulated as a separate component
of stockholders’ equity, which totaled $126,000 and $(1,048,000) for the three
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of
September 30, 2009, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of business management
systems of $2,478,000, compared to a backlog of $3,659,000 at September 30,
2008. We expect to fill approximately 65% of such backlog during the
next six months.
Results
of Operations
Our
results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared
with the three months ended September 30, 2008 were as follows:
Revenues. Revenues were
$6,212,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with
$5,845,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Revenues
for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 increased $367,000, or 6.3%,
during this fiscal period, resulting from a combination of (i) increased sales
of data services and support from our US operations and (ii) an increase in
revenue and profits of our UK subsidiary in its local currency, notwithstanding
the negative impact experienced by our UK revenues by the strength of the US
dollar vs. the British Pound, as discussed above. Revenue increased 295,000GBP
from organic sales growth in data services and support in our UK operations from
2,374,000GBP during the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 2,669,000GBP
during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
The
stronger US dollar resulted in dollar-denominated revenue of $4,431,000 during
2009 as compared to $4,503,000 during 2008, which is a decrease of
$72,000. US revenue increased $429,000 to $1,781,000 in 2009 from
$1,352,000 in 2008 because of increased sales of software and professional
services.
Cost of Revenues. Total cost
of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009, were $2,947,000
compared with $2,755,000 for the same period in 2008, which was an increase of
$192,000 or 7.0%. This was consistent with the increase in revenues during the
quarter ended September 30, 2009, and also represents an increase in
professional services costs. Cost of revenues as a percentage of
revenues increased slightly from 47.1% for the year ended September 30, 2008 to
47.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in cost of
revenues was the result of US expenses increasing $147,000 to $824,000 from
$677,000 in 2008, which was in line with the increased US revenues.
MAM Software Ltd.’s expenses were 192,000GBP higher for 2009, or
increased to 1,293,000GBP from 1,101,000GBP for 2008, but the stronger dollar
produced an increase in reported expenses of $45,000.

Operating
expenses decreased by $482,000 or 15.3% for the three months ended September 30,
2009, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2008. This is due to
the following:
Research and Development Expenses.
Research and Development expenses increased by 7.5% for the three months
ended September 30, 2009, when compared with the same period in the previous
fiscal year. This increase was due to additional staff and cost of living
increases.
Sales and Marketing Expenses.
Sales and Marketing expenses increased by $45,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008. This increase
is due to the cost of living pay increases and additional costs associated with
increased attendance at industry shows during the three months ended September
30, 2009 compared to the same period in the previous year.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and Administrative expenses decreased by $600,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008.
This is primarily a result of a decrease in expenses for financial consultants
of $120,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. In addition
our legal and accounting costs during the three months ended September 30,
2009 were $48,000 less than they were during the same
quarter in the previous year, during which we had additional professional fees
associated with the SEC registration statement related to our spinoff from
ADNW. Rent expense decreased $39,000 from the relocation and
consolidation of operations to less costly facilities. Further,
management’s salaries decreased $15,000 from the prior period because of reduced
compensation. Finally, the stronger US dollar produced a decrease in
reported expenses of $170,000.
In an
effort to conserve cash, we have and continue to reduce costs within our US
operations and have implemented improved reporting systems and controls for the
US business. Should our cost-cutting efforts not be successful or in the event
that our revenue decreases in the future, we may need to seek additional debt or
equity financing. Any inability to obtain additional financing, if required, or
an inability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, would have a
material adverse effect on our ability to implement our business
plan.
Depreciation and Amortization
Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $14,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same period in
2008 because of increased capital expenditures at our UK
businesses.
Interest Expense. Interest
expense increased by $6,000 to $378,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2009. This increase in interest expense is related to increased debt in the UK
subsidiary. We paid ComVest Capital LLC $167,000 in cash and $120,000
was accounted for in amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs,
which are included in interest expense.
Other Income. Other income
(expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to ($290,000)
compared with ($370,000) for the period ended September 30, 2008. The reduced
expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 were the result of
$38,000 benefit from the reduction of the fair value of derivative
liabilities. As more fully described in the notes to the
financial statements, on July 1, 2009, we adopted the accounting standard
that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial
instruments or embedded features, is indexed to an entity’s own
stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instrument
or embedded feature that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any
freestanding financial instruments that are settled in an entity’s own common
stock. As such, we were required to reclassify certain amounts from
the equity section of the balance sheet to the liabilities
section. In addition, the value of these instruments must be
reassessed by us as of each balance sheet date. The change in the
value of these instruments from July 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009 resulted in
the $38,000 gain in the current period.
Income Taxes. Income taxes
increased by $105,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared
to September 30, 2008. This increase was due to higher tax requirements
resulting from increased profits at our UK subsidiary.
Net Income (Loss). As a result
of the above, we realized a net income amounting to $80,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2009, compared with a net loss of $552,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
To date,
most of our profits have been generated in Europe, but with the introduction of
new products and efforts to streamline U.S. operations, we expect to see an
increase in overall revenues with a contribution from U.S. operations in fiscal
2009.
At
September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $829,000.
If
internal revenues prove insufficient to support our growth plans, we may
consider raising additional funds through debt or equity financing. There can be
no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable terms, in timely
fashion or even available at all. Should new funds be delayed, we plan to reduce
the burden on our current funding to a sustainable level and to tailor our
development programs accordingly.
We expect
to see continued growth from both the US and UK operations during fiscal 2010,
with strong growth in revenues and operating income from the US operation. We
have identified a number of opportunities to widen our client base within the
automotive industry and are actively pursuing those at this time. We also expect
to see increases in revenue over the next two quarters, specifically due to
additional products that have been developed by the US operation which are
currently being released to customers, and the reintroduction of our Autopart
line of products in the US market.
We intend
to continue to work at maximizing customer retention by supplying and developing
products that streamline and simplify customer operations, thereby increasing
their profit margin. By supporting our customers’ recurring revenues, we expect
to continue to build our own revenue stream. We believe that we can continue to
grow our customer base through additional sales personnel, targeted media and
marketing campaigns and products that completely fit clients’ requirements. We
also intend to service existing clients to higher levels and increasingly
partner with them so that together we’ll both achieve our
goals.
Revenues
in the UK are continuing to generate positive cash flow and free cash but the
loss in the US operations and corporate expenses resulted in a negative cash
flow for the quarter. Our current plans still require us to hire additional
sales and marketing staff, to expand within the U.S. market, to target new
vertical markets effectively in the U.K. and to support expanded operations
overall.
We
believe our plan will strengthen our relationships with our existing customers
and provide new income streams by targeting new vertical markets for our
AutoPart product.
If the
Company continues to experience negative cash flow we will be required to limit
our growth plan.

1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time
to time, the Company is subject to various legal claims and proceedings arising
in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate disposition of these
proceedings could have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

On August 1, 2007 the Company and
Mr. McKenna entered into an agreement resolving all outstanding actions by
Mr. McKenna against the Company and its subsidiaries related to the
initial action against CarParts Technologies, Inc., which is now known as
ASNA. The agreement provided that the Company would pay Mr. McKenna
$2,000,000 in cash, $825,000 on a promissory note with an interest rate of
8% amortized in equal payments over a 24-month period (see Note 7) and in
addition would issue Mr. McKenna 1,718,750 shares of Common Stock of the
Company, which represented an aggregate number of shares of common stock
of the Company that the parties determined fairly represented $825,000
(assuming a price of $0.48 per share of common stock, the closing price of
the Company’s common stock on the date of settlement). Mr. McKenna was
also entitled to warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of
common stock at the same price, which was valued at $412,000 (using the
Black-Scholes valuation model) and recorded as an additional litigation
cost for the year ended June 30, 2007. Upon entering this agreement all
parties agreed to withdraw all existing litigation and claims. The Company
recorded the settlement with McKenna as of June 30, 2007. The shares were
issued in fiscal 2008 (see Note 10). This settlement was amended during
fiscal 2008 (see Note 10).

Additionally, the Company entered
into a settlement agreement with Mr. Arthur Blumenthal, a former
shareholder of Anderson BDG, Inc. Mr. Blumenthal’s lawsuit against the
Company’s parent ADNW emanated from an agreement Mr. Blumenthal had with a
subsidiary of the Company, ASNA (f/k/a CarParts Technologies, Inc.) for
the purchase of Anderson BDG, that had not been settled although it was
past due. The Company assumed the liability as part of a plan of spinning
off certain businesses into the Company and renegotiated the agreement
with Mr. Blumenthal, the terms of which required the Company to make a
payment of $50,000 cash and the issuance to Mr. Blumenthal and
registration of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were
issued in fiscal 2007 and valued at $0.48 per share, (the closing price of
the Company’s common stock on the date of settlement) or $144,000. The
Company subsequently completely settled the lawsuit with Mr. Blumenthal
and repaid his notes in fiscal
2008.
|
On August
21 2009, the Company’s counsel received two notifications on behalf of the
Company from Mr. Blumenthal’s counsel. One letter makes certain
demands on the Company in respect of Mr. Blumenthal’s sale of the software
program VAST to one of the Company’s predecessor organizations, and asserts that
the Company owes Mr. Blumenthal $936,776.20. The second letter
asserts certain rights of Mr. Blumenthal with respect to his employment with the
Company and asserts that the Company owes Mr. Blumenthal approximately
$136,612.00. The Company is continuing discussions with Mr. Blumenthal’s
attorneys, but is unable to predict how successful such discussions will be, or
whether formal litigation will be filed or the outcome of any litigation, if
filed.
