QUADRANT 4 SYSTEM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Organization

Quadrant 4 System Corporation (sometimes referred to herein as “Quadrant 4” or the “Company”) was incorporated by the Florida Department of State on May 9, 1990 as Sun Express Group, Inc. and changed its name on March 31, 2011. The Company changed its domicile to Illinois on April 25, 2014. The Company generates revenue from clients located mostly in North America and operates out of six different office locations throughout the United States.

Operations

The Company is engaged in the Information Technology sector as a provider of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) systems to the health insurance (QHIX), media (QBLITZ) and education (QEDX) verticals. Along with these platforms, we also provide relevant services that leverage on our proprietary Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) technology stack. Our core services include Consulting, Application Life Cycle Management, Enterprise Applications & Data Management, Mobility Applications and Business Analytics (collectively “Consulting”). We blend these services with our technology platforms to offer client specific and industry specific solutions to Healthcare, Media, Education, Retail and Manufacturing industry segments (collectively “Solutions”).

The Company generates revenues principally from two broad segments, namely Services and Platforms (PaaS/SaaS). The Services component includes consulting services that bills on a time & material basis; projects that bill on a predominantly time & material basis with a small mile-stone component; and managed services that bill fixed fees that provide pre-determined SLA based services.  The Platform segment bills on transaction basis such as per member per month enrolled for the QHIX; per bandwidth consumed for the QBLITZ; and per student per month for the QEDX platforms. The Company anticipates to start delivering Platform based revenues in 2016.
 
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of the 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. This form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all the accounts of the Company. As of January 1, 2015, all subsidiaries have been merged with Quadrant 4 System Corporation.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Reclassifications

Certain amounts for the prior period have been revised or reclassified to conform to 2015 presentation.

Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates include the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, depreciation and amortization, intangible assets, including customer lists and technology stacks, capitalization, fair value and useful lives, accruals, contingencies, impairment and valuation of stock warrants and options. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could have a significant impact on recorded amounts. Accordingly, actual results could defer from those estimates.
 
 
6

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, 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 which are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts at the amount the Company expects to collect. 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, past transaction history with the customers, current economic trends, and changes in customer repayment terms.
 
Unbilled receivables are established when revenue is deemed to be recognized based on the Company's revenue recognition policy, but due to contractual restraints over the timing of invoicing, the Company does not have the right to invoice the customer by the balance sheet date.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of manufactured and preassembled units ready for distribution. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. In evaluating whether inventory is stated lower of cost or market, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and the distribution channel, the estimated time to sell such inventory, and the current market conditions. Adjustments to reduce inventory to its net realizable value are charged to cost of goods sold.
 
Vendors and Contractors

The Company outsources portions of its work to third party service providers. These providers can be captive suppliers that undertake software development, research & development and custom platform development. Some vendors may provide specific consultants or resources (often called Corp to Corp) or independent contractors (often designated as 1099) to satisfy agreed upon deliverables to its clients.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated for financial statement purpose using the straight line method over estimated useful lives of five to fifteen years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the appropriate amounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of each assets is credited or charged to income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, consisting of customer lists and technology stacks, 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 of the Company at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. Management of the Company has decided to perform its impairment testing on a quarterly basis starting in fiscal year 2015. 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 are 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.

Technology stacks are valued based on management’s forecast of expected future net cash flows, with revenues based on projected sales of these technologies and are amortized over five to seven years.

Software Development Costs

Costs that are related to the conceptual formulation and design of licensed software programs are expensed as incurred to research, development engineering and other administrative support expenses; costs that are incurred to produce the finished product after technological feasibility has been established and after all research and development activities for any other component of the product or process have been completed are capitalized as software development costs. Capitalized amounts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging up to five years which will be recorded in amortization expense starting in year 2016 commencing when the platforms first become offered for sale. The Company performs periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized software development costs remain recoverable from future revenue. Cost to support or service licensed program are charged to cost of revenue as incurred.
 
Pre-paid Expenses
 
The Company incurs certain costs that are deemed as prepaid expenses. The fees that are paid to the Department of Homeland Security for processing H1 visa fees for its international employees are amortized over 36 months, typically the life of the visa. One third of these pre-paid expenses are included in other current assets and two thirds in other assets.
 
Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s notes payable and revolving credit facilities are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method over the life of the respective facility.

Deferred Licensing and Royalty Fees
 
The Company licenses software, platforms and/or content on a needed basis and enters into market driven licensing and royalty fee arrangements. If no consumption or usage of such licenses happen during the reporting period, the Company has no obligation for any minimum fees or royalties and no accruals are posted. The deferred licensing fee is being amortized over five years.
 
Leases

The Company has operating lease agreements for its offices some of which contain provisions for future rent increases or periods in which rent payments are abated. Operating leases which provide for lease payments that vary materially from the straight-line basis are adjusted for financial accounting purposes to reflect rental income or expense on the straight-line basis in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). No such material difference existed as of March 31, 2015.

Capitalized Lease

Capital leases are measured and recorded at present value as an asset and obligation. The asset is depreciated on a straight line over its estimated useful life and the obligation is paid using an effective interest rate.

Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument.   In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments.  The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount.

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.

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 on which service ranges from approximately 2 months to over 1 year.

For time & material engagements, the Company recognizes revenues when the client signs and approves the time sheet of a consultant(s) assigned to the engagement. For projects, the Company recognizes the revenues when the client acknowledges or accepts the delivery of the defined deliverables. For managed services engagements, the Company bills the contracted amount per billing period with no further acknowledgement from the client since such contracts have service level agreements and any service deficiencies are addressed within the normal course of engagement. The hosting revenues are recognized in the beginning of the period and are amortized over the term of the engagement since the client has no recourse and such fees are non-refundable. Platform revenues are recognized at the end of the period using the starting and ending average of the billing period and is generated by the platform with no further statement of work or purchase orders or approvals.
 
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 expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses. The Company’s income tax returns for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 are subject to examination by the IRS and corresponding states.

As of March 31, 2015, management has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income (Loss) per Common Share
 
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants outstanding during each period.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 there were 4,898,508 potentially dilutive securities that were included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were 13,285,427 potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding since they would be anti-dilutive.
  
Derivatives
 
We account for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. All derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. We record our interest rate and foreign currency swaps at fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis and for warrants and other option type instruments based on option pricing models. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in income or expense.
 
Share based compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes model using the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of our common stock.
 
The Company determines the fair value of the share-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instrument is reached or the date the performance is complete.
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock awards with service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is included in operations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains cash at various financial institutions, which at times, may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date as a result of this policy and, in assessing its risk, the Companies’ policy is to maintain cash only with reputable financial institutions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance creating Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Section 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The new section will replace Section 605, "Revenue Recognition" and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The section is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued International financial Reporting Standards with previously differing treatment between United States practice and those of much of the rest of the world, as well as, to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt the new provisions of this accounting standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2017, given that early adoption is not an option. The Company will further study the implications of this statement in order to evaluate the expected impact on its financial statements.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern." The provisions of ASU No.2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s liability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. audit standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require evaluation of every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt in not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).  The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2014-15 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.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS

On January 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of Brainchild Corporation ("Brainchild").  Brainchild based in Naples, Florida is a leading provider of web-based and mobile learning solutions for kindergarten through high school, grades K-12.  The acquisition of Brainchild includes technology, staffing and software solutions developed for providing its educational solutions.
 
This acquisition represents the Company’s entry into its newest vertical. This will not change the Company’s business model since the Company intends to leverage its experience in building and operating cloud-based exchanges for healthcare and media to the education market.  The Company believes there is a growing demand for platforms that will bring together the delivery of digital instructional content, assessments and analysis of student information and performance data by educators in K-12 schools throughout the US.

Item 2.          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 ending March 31, 2015 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amending, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amending. 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The nature of our model involves engaging employees and consultants to provide services to our customers with billing accrued and due in normal billing cycles. We also enter into subscription contracts for our software platforms that clients pay a fixed amount every month. We incur debt to meet payroll obligations, the largest component of our expenses, and service debt with the payments received from our customers. Many of our employees and consultants are assisted in the immigration process which is an expense component. The Company utilizes few major capital items in the delivery of its services and requires no significant plant expenses beyond ordinary commercial office space for both use by the employees on a limited basis and the back-office support for those employees.

Liquidity.    The Company is continuing to expand its IT business operations through acquisitions and organic internal growth.  Acquisitions of target company assets will require additional financing.  Currently the Company anticipates that additional financing to fund these acquisitions of assets will be provided by sales of stock or borrowings.  Also, the Company is exploring alternatives for its trade receivable factoring which carries a very high interest rate.  Refinancing of this receivable factoring financing will reduce the Company’s interest expenses thereby increasing the Company’s liquidity position.

The Company is currently discussing with the lenders whose loans are coming due to extend their terms. The Company believes its resources are adequate to fund its current operations for the next 12 months.

Item 4.          Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report which is March 31, 2015. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures specific to certain transactions were not effective.  Rapid growth and inadequate staffing were the main reasons for such ineffective controls. Management has identified an action plan to remedy any ineffective controls that include additional staffing, realignment of existing staff, a search to hire a Chief Financial Officer, hiring of an outside consultant to assist with internal controls and creating a well-defined financial and accounting control matrix and procedures document which is in the process of being implemented.
  
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, and effected by the Company’s management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

§
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;
§
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management; and
§
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements
 
Management is committed to continuous improvement in all areas of controls and procedures. The Company has instituted additional procedures to review its interim financial statements and significant transactions with the audit committee on a regular basis.

Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting is not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us are accumulated and communicated timely as of March 31, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

In order to address certain separation of duties and governance issues the Company has added additional human resources as well as a realignment of existing staff in its accounting and finance departments and instituted additional procedures to review its interim financial statements and significant transactions with the audit committee on a regular basis in the spirit of continuing to improve internally.
 
These additions have improved accountability and created segregation of responsibilities across additional people which has resulted in improvement in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act) subsequent to the year ending December 31, 2014.
