QUADRANT 4 SYSTEMS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION

Organization

Quadrant 4 Systems Corporation (formerly Zolon Corporation) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on May 9, 1990, as Sun Express Group, Inc.  On July 12, 2001, the Company changed its name to Sun Network Group, Inc.  On June 3, 2005, the Company changed its name to Aventura VOIP Networks, Inc. and on October 17, 2005 to Aventura Holdings, Inc.  On December 24, 2009, the Company changed its name to Zolon Corporation.  On March 31, 2011, the Company changed its name to Quadrant 4 Systems Corporation.  On July 1, 2011, the Company merged three of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, VSG Acquisition Corp., Resource Mine Acquisition Corp. and ISS Acquisition Corporation into one newly created wholly-owned subsidiary, Quadrant 4 Consulting, Inc.

Operations

In April 2010, the Company changed its primary business model by broadening its computer consulting services and selling solutions that are bundled with technology. The Company intends to establish a full spectrum of IT services that include consulting, products and solutions specific to the Health Care, Telecommunications and financial services industries.  The Company has made additional acquisitions to provide these services.

Through September 30, 2011, all revenues have been from computer software consulting services.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the rules and regulations under Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company together with the Company's management discussion and analysis in Item 2 of this report and in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
 
Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Quadrant 4 Consulting, Inc. (formerly VSG Acquisition Corp, Resource Mine Acquisition Corp, and ISS Acquisition Corporation) and Quadrant 4 Solutions, Inc. (formerly MGL Solutions, Inc.).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to 2011 financial statement presentation.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.
 
Accounts and Unbilled Receivables

Accounts and unbilled receivables consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable, which is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value and amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed.  

Customer lists were valued based on management’s forecast of expected future net cash flows, with revenues based on projected revenues from customers acquired and are being amortized over five years.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed and determinable, performance of service has occurred and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue is recognized in the period the services are provided.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization is not considered more likely than not.

The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses.
 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08: “Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment”.  The amendments in this update are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing the reporting entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The update includes examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date prior to September 15, 2011 if the entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05: (1) eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity, (2) requires presentation of each component of net income and each component of OCI (and their respective totals) either in a single continuous statement or in two separate (but consecutive) statements, and (3) requires presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the statement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”.  The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards.  While many of the amendments to U.S. GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, the new guidance changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements.  Adoption of ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
 
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
This Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and are considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
 
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
The Company completed certain significant acquisitions in the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011 that are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.  The Company is actively pursuing a business model that was changed and expanded in connection with the acquisition of assets and opportunities presented therein.  Therefore, the significance of these recent acquisitions includes certain factors which represent risks and also require accentuation and explanation.  

The current operations of the Company consist of providing Information Technology (IT) and Software enabled services and consulting.  The Company is focused on providing its services to companies in the Financial Services, Healthcare and Telecom sectors.  The Company intends to grow organically from the expansion of offerings and services to customers, most of which were acquired as relationships from acquisitions as well as the acquisition of new business relationships as part of its acquisition strategy.

The financial statements being reported in this Quarterly Report are based on assets acquired in the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011.  The Company has a limited operating history with these assets, their management and the implementation of controls.  There can be no assurance that the assets will continue to perform in the manner and to the degree indicated by the financial results disclosed for the recently-ended third quarter.  The risks associated with recently-acquired assets are also discussed as a risk in the Company’s annual report under Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

In 2010, the Company changed its business model significantly and, as a result, comparisons to previous periods are not relevant.  The Company acquired new businesses in transactions which materially affected the amount of reported revenue from continuing operations.  The revenues, expenses and income reflect the new businesses.  Acquisition of the new businesses resulted in material increases in revenues, expenses and income but these increases are not attributed to changes in pricing or profitability of such businesses compared to prior periods of such businesses but rather the acquisition of such business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
At September 30, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,104,314 and a working capital deficit of $3,880,243.
 
Net cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,061,072 as compared to cash used in operations the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $5,363,438. This increase of $6,424,510 was due in part to an increase in accounts receivable offset in part by increases in accounts payable and amortization.
 
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,028,928 as compared to cash provided by operations $6,221,204 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease of $7,250,132 was primarily due to a decrease in borrowings offset in part by an increase in payments of borrowings and proceeds from the sale of stock.
 
The Company has relied upon outside entities and sellers to finance its operations and acquisitions.  A tightening of capital markets may reduce or eliminate funding sources resulting in a decrease in our liquidity and an inability to generate revenues from new lending activities.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
There are no off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Impact of Inflation
 
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. We believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.  The following are a summary of the significant accounting estimates and policies that we believe are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
 
Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.   We have made estimates for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable, fair values of our customer lists and the estimated useful lives for the amortization of our customer lists.   Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the value of customer lists and customer relationships, values which are not readily apparent from other sources.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.
 
Accounts and Unbilled Receivables.  Accounts and unbilled receivables consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable, which is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends.
 
Intangible Assets.  Intangible assets are recorded at fair value and amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed.  Customer lists were valued based on management’s forecast of expected future net cash flows, with revenues based on projected revenues from customers acquired and are being amortized over five to seven years.
 
Revenue Recognition.  Revenue is recognized when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed and determinable, performance of service has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized in the period the services are provided. 
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Not required.

Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective as of September 30, 2011, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We have identified certain matters that constitute material weakness (as defined under the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2) in our internal controls over financial reporting.  The material weaknesses that we have identified relate to the fact that our overall financial reporting structure, internal accounting information systems and current staffing levels are not sufficient to support or financial reporting requirements. We are working to remedy our deficiency.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.  There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act) during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Legal Proceedings

On August 1, 2011, the Company learned that it was named in litigation in Federal Court in New York seeking payment of an “exclusivity fee” arising out of the engagement of a financing source as alleged in the complaint, as more fully described in the Form 8-K, dated August 1, 2011.  The Company believes that this particular claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this action.  The Company has also filed a counterclaim relating to the improper nature of the lawsuit.

On October 20, 2011, the Company learned that it was named in litigation in state court in Dallas Texas, seeking repayment of a loan to one of its shareholders based on the allegation that the shareholder would include shares of the Company’s stock owned by it as part of the security or part of the repayment arrangements between the shareholder and the creditor of that shareholder.  The Company was not a party to the loan arrangement.  The Company believes that inclusion of the Company in the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this action.
 
While the outcome of these legal proceedings, if any, cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

We are not currently subject to any other legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any other legal proceeding threatened against us.  From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts.
