INX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1. Description of Business

INX Inc. (“INX” or the “Company”) is a provider of technology infrastructure solutions for enterprise-class organizations such as corporations, schools and federal, state and local governmental agencies. The solutions INX provides consist of three broad categories of technology infrastructure: network infrastructure, unified communications and data center. Network infrastructure solutions consist of network routing and switching, wireless networking and network security solutions. Unified communications solutions consist of Internet Protocol (“IP”) network-based voice or telephone solutions as well as IP network-based video communications solutions. Data center solutions consist of network storage solutions and data center server virtualization solutions. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of INX Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Select, Inc. and Valerent, Inc. All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation. Select, Inc. and Valerent, Inc. were merged into INX Inc. as of the close of business on December 31, 2008.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial data as of March 31, 2009 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The December 31, 2008 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of March 31, 2009, results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2009, have been included. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any future period.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R). The purpose of issuing the statement is to replace current guidance in SFAS 141 to better represent the economic value of a business combination transaction. The changes to be effected with SFAS 141R from the current guidance include, but are not limited to: (1) acquisition costs will be recognized separately from the acquisition; (2) known contractual contingencies at the time of the acquisition will be considered part of the liabilities acquired and measured at their fair value; all other contingencies will be part of the liabilities acquired measured at their fair value only if it is more likely than not that they meet the definition of a liability; (3) contingent consideration based on the outcome of future events will be recognized and measured at the time of the acquisition; (4) business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisitions) will need to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as noncontrolling interests, in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values; and (5) a bargain purchase (defined as a business combination in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree) will require that excess to be recognized as a gain attributable to the acquirer. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a impact on the way in which future business combinations will be accounted for compared to prior practice.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. However, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”) which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP 157-2 partially defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of FSP 157-2. In addition, FASB issued a staff position, FSP SFAS No. 157-1, to clarify that SFAS No. 157 does not apply under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classifications under SFAS No. 13 and FSP SFAS No. 157-3 to provide guidance for determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active. The Company elected to defer adoption of SFAS 157 relating to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” to provide additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and determining when a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 applies to all assets and liabilities within the scope of pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements under SFAS 157 except as specifically discussed in SFAS 157. FSP FAS 157-4 does not apply to Level 1 inputs, regardless of changes in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability. Level 1 inputs are defined in SFAS 157 as quoted prices for an identical asset or liability in an active market.  FSP FAS 157-4 emphasizes that, regardless of whether the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have decreased significantly and regardless of which valuation technique was used, the objective of a fair value measurement under SFAS 157 remains the same—to estimate the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The FSP FAS 157-4 specifically addresses the market participant aspect of the objective of a fair value measurement under SFAS 157 by stating that an entity’s intention to hold an asset or liability is irrelevant for purposes of a fair value measurement.  The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 was issued to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way, that is, as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, SFAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The FASB believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of SFAS 162 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2009 the Company adopted FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted EPS must be applied.  The adoption of EITF 03-6-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s basic earnings per share.

In April 2009 the FASB issued  FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods and is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company expects to include the required additional disclosures in its quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of June 30, 2009.

 
4. Acquisitions

Access Flow, Inc.

Under an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 6, 2008 (the “APA”), the Company purchased the operations and certain assets, and assumed specified liabilities of Access Flow, Inc. (“AccessFlow”). AccessFlow is a Sacramento, California-based consulting organization focused on delivering VMware-based data center virtualization solutions, with revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 of approximately $10,500. The Company completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the APA. Neither AccessFlow nor any shareholder of AccessFlow has any prior affiliation with the Company. The APA contains customary representations and warranties and requires AccessFlow and its Shareholders to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities arising under the APA, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

The consideration paid at closing pursuant to the APA was (a) $2,450 in cash and (b) 262,692 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additional purchase consideration is payable to AccessFlow based on certain financial performance during each of the two-year periods ending June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010. The financial performance upon which such additional purchase consideration is based includes the following business components: (i) the acquired AccessFlow Sacramento, California branch office revenue excluding its hosting business, (ii) the acquired AccessFlow hosting business, and (iii) customer billings for certain virtualization products and services specified in the APA generated by the Company’s pre-existing fourteen branch office locations. The APA specifies the computation of additional purchase consideration earned under each business component, including a minimum and maximum amount payable for each of the two years. For each business component the minimum annual additional consideration payable is zero and the maximum annual additional consideration payable is (i) $405, (ii) $405, and (iii) $540, respectively. At the Company’s option, 50% of such additional consideration may be paid in the form of common stock. Additional purchase consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

NetTeks Technology Consultants, Inc.

Under an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 14, 2008 (the “Agreement”), the Company purchased the operations and certain assets, and assumed specified liabilities of NetTeks Technology Consultants, Inc. (“NetTeks”). NetTeks is a Boston, Massachusetts-based network consulting organization with offices in downtown Boston and Glastonbury, Connecticut, with revenues for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008 of approximately $12,700. The Company completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the Agreement. Neither NetTeks nor any shareholder of NetTeks has any prior affiliation with the Company. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and requires NetTeks and its shareholders to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities arising under the Agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

The consideration paid at closing pursuant to the Agreement was (a) $1,350 in cash and (b) 30,770 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 15,385 common stock shares were held in escrow under holdback provisions defined in the Agreement.  Additional purchase consideration is payable based on NetTeks’ branch office operating income contribution during each of the two-year periods ending November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2010. The Agreement specifies the computation of additional purchase consideration earned including a minimum of zero for each of the two-year periods and a maximum of $1,313 for the period ending November 30, 2009 and $1,488 for the period ending November 30, 2010. At the Company’s option, 50% of such additional purchase price may be paid in the form of Common Stock. Additional purchase consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

VocalMash

Under an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 4, 2008 (“VocalMash APA”), the Company purchased the operations of VocalMash, a business owned and operated by INX’s Vice President of Sales. VocalMash is an application integration company that utilizes Web 2.0 technologies to integrate unified communications systems with other enterprise applications. The Company completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the VocalMash APA. The VocalMash APA contains customary representations and warranties and requires VocalMash and its owner to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities arising under the VocalMash APA, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

The consideration paid at closing pursuant to the VocalMash APA was 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The common stock was valued at $4.89 per share or $293. Additional purchase consideration of up to a maximum of $380 may be payable under the VocalMash APA based on the achievement of operating income contribution targets for 2009. Additional purchase consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

          691,287  
Denominator for diluted earnings per share — weighted-average shares outstanding
    8,706,210       8,242,191  

For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s potentially dilutive options of 386,635 were not used in the calculation of diluted earnings since the effect of potentially dilutive securities in computing a loss per share is antidilutive.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company’s potentially dilutive options of 218,500 and warrants of 625,000 were not used in the calculation of diluted earnings since the effect of potentially dilutive securities is antidilutive.

6. Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized employee share-based compensation expense for stock option, restricted stock grants, and the employee stock purchase plan of $580 and $312 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company's unvested stock options as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1,378 and $2,039, respectively and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years and 2.0 years, respectively.  The unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company's unvested restricted shares as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $3,446 and $1,766, respectively and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.7 years and 4.0 years, respectively.

7. Senior Credit Facility

The Company has a $60,000 maximum aggregate line of credit with Castle Pines Capital LLC (“CPC”) under a senior credit facility. The CPC senior credit facility is used primarily for inventory financing and working capital requirements.  At March 31, 2009, $31,512 was outstanding under the Facility and reported under accounts payable, and the unused availability was $5,528.  At March 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the loan covenants of the senior credit facility.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

On September 10, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase plan of up to $2,000 of the Company’s common stock on or before December 31, 2008. The purchases were required to be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The plan also requires the purchased shares to be retired as soon as practicable following the purchase. The plan did not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of common stock and could be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.  On December 3, 2008, the Board of Directors modified the existing common stock repurchase plan, authorizing the repurchase of $2,000 during the period January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, 19,466 shares were purchased for $66. From inception of the repurchase plan to March 31, 2009, 300,339 shares were purchased for $1,762, an average purchase price of $5.87 per share. The repurchase plan expired on March 31, 2009.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Self-Insured Medical Plan

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company changed its employee medical insurance coverage to self-insure for losses up to $100 per claim.  The Company maintains stop loss coverage with a third party insurer to limit its total exposure with an annual aggregate loss limit of $2,357 based on the current enrollment in the plan. During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, we incurred medical claims totaling $392 and recorded a liability of $91 as of March 31, 2009 as an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims incurred as of the balance sheet date, based on an analysis of historical data and actuarial estimates.

Litigation

The Company served as a subcontractor to Complete Communications Services, Inc. (“CoCom”), a subcontractor on certain school district contracts during 2007. On August 24, 2007, CoCom filed a Chapter 11 Petition in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had no outstanding accounts receivable from CoCom. The Company received payments of $102 during the ninety day period preceding the bankruptcy filing which could potentially be deemed preferential. While the result of the potential preference claims cannot be predicted with certainty, INX believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.

On January 24, 2008, Schneider Rucinski Enterprises (“Plaintiff”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court Southern District of California (“Court”) styled Schneider Rucinski Enterprises v. Touch Asia Outsourcing Solutions, Stratasoft, Inc., INX Inc., et al claiming damages of $555 and other relief including relief under RICO statutes. On December 8, 2008, we filed motions to dismiss on the grounds of lack of federal jurisdiction and failure to state claims upon which relief could be granted. Oral arguments were made during a hearing on February 24, 2009 and, on March 3, 2009, the Court ruled in INX’s favor, dismissing the lawsuit and closing the case.

On January 6, 2009, Lyondell Chemical Company (“Lyondell”) filed a Chapter 11 Petition in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had an accounts receivable from Lyondell of $99, less an allowance for doubtful accounts of $99. The Company received payments of $539 during the ninety day period preceding the bankruptcy filing which could potentially be deemed preferential. INX cannot predict the final outcome of this matter, including whether it could have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.

On February 6, 2009, INX filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court Eastern District of Texas styled InternetworkExperts, Inc. (INX) v. International Business Machines Corporation claiming damages totaling $1,791 plus interest, attorney fees, and costs of suit for breach of purchase orders in 2004 and 2006 under which payments were due upon early termination of services. The amount that may ultimately be recovered, if any, cannot be determined at this time, and such amount will be recorded only upon settlement and payment by the defendant.

INX is also party to other litigation and claims which management believes are normal in the course of its operations. While the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, INX believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.

Revenue. Total revenue decreased by $2,102, or 3.5%, to $57,541 from $59,643. Products revenue decreased $5,925, or 11.7% to $44,566 from $50,491. The decrease in products revenue was primarily due to our markets becoming increasingly affected by the continuing macroeconomic downturn in the United States.  We experienced lower revenue in the Northwest Region, National Division, Southwest Region, and Gulf Coast Region, partially offset by revenue from newly acquired locations in the New England Region and Northern California Region and increased products revenue from large projects in the Southern California and North Texas Regions. Services revenue increased $3,823 or 41.8% to $12,975 from $9,152. Services revenue increased in the majority of our Regions, led by increases in the Federal Division, Central Texas Region, Southwest Region, and Southern California Region, and the newly acquired locations in the New England Region and Northern California Region.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased by $338, or 2.8%, to $12,485 from $12,147. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 21.7% from 20.4%, due to higher products revenue margins and substantially higher 2009 services revenues as a percent of total revenues. Gross profit on the products sales component decreased $763 or 8.3%, to $8,444 from $9,207 and, as a percentage of sales, increased to 18.9% from 18.2%. Gross profit on services revenue increased $1,101 or 37.4% to $4,041 from $2,940 and gross profit as a percent of services revenue decreased to 31.1% from 32.1%. The services gross margin in both periods was within our target range of 30 to 35%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,352, or 22.7% to $12,736 from $10,384. As a percentage of total revenue, these expenses increased to 22.1% in 2009 versus 17.4% in 2008. Increased 2009 expenses reflect selling, general and administrative expenses of the operations acquired in the NetTeks, AccessFlow, and VocalMash  acquisitions, additional sales and administrative personnel costs from headcount increases, and substantially higher audit and tax costs.

Operating (Loss) Income. Operating income decreased $2,014 to a loss of $251 from income of $1,763, primarily due to lower sales and proportionately higher selling, general and administrative expenses partially offset by higher gross margins.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income (expense), net, changed by $85 to income of $12 from expense of $73, primarily due to the elimination of borrowings under our senior credit facility in June 2008.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased by $632 to $51 from $683, primarily due to lower 2009 pretax income.  An income tax benefit was not recognized for the 2009 loss due to the corresponding valuation allowance recorded as discussed further under “Deferred Tax Assets” below.

Net (Loss) Income. Net income decreased $1,340 to a loss of $329 from income of $1,011, primarily due to lower sales and proportionately higher selling, general and administrative expenses partially offset by higher gross margins and lower income tax expense.

Tax Loss Carryforward. Because of our operating losses in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2008, and exercises of stock options, we have accumulated a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes that, at March 31, 2009, was approximately $2,540. Since United States tax laws limit the time during which an NOL may be applied against future taxable income and tax liabilities, we may not be able to take full advantage of our NOL carryforward for federal income tax purposes. The carryforward will expire during the period 2023 through 2026 if not otherwise used. A change in ownership, as defined by federal income tax regulations, could significantly limit the company’s ability to utilize its carryforward.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we recognize tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options directly to stockholders’ equity only when realized. Accordingly, deferred tax assets are not recognized for net operating loss carryforwards resulting from windfall tax benefits. A windfall tax benefit occurs when the actual tax benefit realized upon an employee’s disposition of a share-based award exceeds the cumulative book compensation charge associated with the award. At March 31, 2009, windfall tax benefits included in NOL carryforward but not reflected in deferred tax assets are $2,540.

Deferred Tax Assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences, as determined pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” become deductible. Management considers the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management’s evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets must consider both positive and negative evidence. The weight given to the potential effects of positive and negative evidence is based on the extent to which it can be objectively verified. During the fourth quarter of 2008 and in the first quarter of 2009, we recorded a valuation allowance related to the net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary items as we determined it is more likely than not that we will not be able to use the assets to reduce future tax liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are collections from our accounts receivable and our credit facility with Castle Pines Capital LLC (the “Credit Facility”), which we believe are sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. We use the Credit Facility to finance the majority of our purchases of inventory and to provide working capital when our cash flow from operations is insufficient. Our working capital increased to $15,135 at March 31, 2009 from $14,199 at December 31, 2008, primarily due to improved collections of accounts receivable and lower products revenues as a percent of total revenues.

The total Credit Facility is $60,000 with an additional $10 million credit facility specifically for acquisitions (“Acquisition Facility”). Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility. Advances under the Acquisition Facility are specific to each acquisition and subject to approval by CPC based on pre-established criteria. There were no borrowings under the Acquisition Facility outstanding at March 31, 2009.

As of March 31, 2009, borrowing capacity and availability were as follows:

Total Credit Facility
  $ 60,000  
Borrowing base limitation
    (22,960 )
Total borrowing capacity
    37,040  
Less interest-bearing borrowings
     
Less non-interest bearing advances
    (31,512 )
Total unused availability
  $ 5,528  

In addition to unused borrowing availability, liquidity at March 31, 2009 included our cash balance of $8,681. The “unused availability” is the amount not borrowed, but eligible to be borrowed. The borrowing base restrictions generally restrict our borrowings under the Credit Facility to 85% of the eligible receivables, 100% of our floorplanned inventory and 75% of Cisco vendor rebates receivable.

We use the Credit Facility to finance purchases of Cisco products from Cisco and from certain wholesale distributors. Cisco provides 60-day terms, and other wholesale distributors typically provide 30-day terms. Balances under the Credit Facility that are within those respective 60-day and 30-day periods (the “Free Finance Period”) do not accrue interest and are classified as accounts payable in our balance sheet. To the extent that we have credit availability under the Credit Facility, it gives us the ability to extend the payment terms past the Free Finance Period. Amounts extended past the Free Finance Period accrue interest and are classified as notes payable on our balance sheet. The interest rate of the Credit Facility is the prime rate plus 0.5% (3.75% at March 31, 2009) and the interest rate of the Acquisition Facility is the prime rate plus 2.0% (5.25% at March 31, 2009).

As defined in the Credit Facility there are restrictive covenants measured at each quarter and year-end regarding minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio, minimum working capital and a minimum current ratio. At March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with the loan covenants and we anticipate that we will be able to comply with the loan covenants during the next twelve months. If we violate any of the loan covenants, we would be required to seek waivers from CPC for those non-compliance events. If CPC refused to provide waivers, the amount due under the Credit Facility could be accelerated and we could be required to seek other sources of financing.

Cash Flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our cash decreased by $2,256. Operating activities used cash of $2,183, investing activities used $125, and financing activities provided $52.

Operating Activities. Operating activities used $2,183 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to using cash of $79 in the comparable 2008 period. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, net income and noncash adjustments to net income provided cash of $1,034, which was offset by changes in asset and liability accounts using cash of $3,217.

Investing Activities. Investing activities used $125 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $617 used during the comparable period in 2008. Our investing activities primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $125 in 2009 and $563 in 2008. Capital expenditures in both years were primarily related to purchases of computer equipment and software, and to a lesser degree, leasehold improvements. During the next twelve months, we do not expect to incur significant capital expenditures requiring cash, except for acquisitions, of which we cannot predict the certainty or magnitude.

Financing Activities. Financing activities provided $52 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to using $408 in the comparable period in 2008. Funds provided in the three months ended March 31, 2009 were primarily from the issuance of stock under the employee stock purchase plan ($167).  The funds used in the comparable 2008 period were primarily used to purchase common stock under the common stock repurchase program discussed in Part II, Item 2 ($1,536), partially offset by cash generated from the exercise of stock options ($403) and excess tax benefits from stock option exercises ($601).

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of certain members of our management, including our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, we and our management have concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures at March 31, 2009 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in these reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In the first three months of 2009, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We will consider further actions and continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis, taking corrective action as appropriate. Management does not expect that disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls can prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. While management believes that its disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that fraud can be detected and prevented, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

On September 10, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase plan of up to $2,000 of the Company’s common stock on or before December 31, 2008. The purchases were required to be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The plan also requires the purchased shares to be retired as soon as practicable following the purchase. The plan did not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of common stock and could be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.  On December 3, 2008, the Board of Directors modified the existing common stock repurchase plan, authorizing the repurchase of $2,000 during the period January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, 19,466 shares were purchased for $66. The repurchase plan expired on March 31, 2009.
