EXPLANATORY NOTE

INX Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2009 (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment No. 1 reflects restatement of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.  The restatement corrects the following errors:

 
·
The Company previously presented its floor plan financing balances as trade accounts payable because it believed that its principal vendor had a substantial investment in the floor plan financing company.  During the preparation of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company became aware that the principal vendor had no ownership interest in its floor plan financing company.  Consequently, the Company is correcting its presentation of the floor plan balances in its Balance Sheets from trade accounts payable to floor plan financing and the related amounts in its Statements of Cash Flows from operating activities to financing activities.  The correction of the error has no effect on the previously reported Statements of Operations.  There is no impact to the Company's current liabilities or total liabilities as a result of this reclassification for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008.

 
·
In addition to the aforementioned correction, the Company is recording certain immaterial adjustments that increase pre-tax expense by $76 for the year ended December 31, 2008, of which $26 was previously recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The adjustments consisted of a pre-tax expense of $50 related to stock option modifications and pre-tax expense of $26 related to the accrual of outside contractor costs.
 
 
For a more detailed description of this restatement, see Note 16, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 and Part II, Item 9A(T), Controls and Procedures, contained in this Form 10-K/A.

This Form 10-K/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety. However, this Form 10-K/A only amends and restates Items 6, 7, 8 and 9A(T) of Part II and Item 15 of Part IV of the original filing, in each case, solely as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement, and no other information in the original filing is amended hereby. The foregoing items have not been updated to reflect other events occurring after the original filing or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 15 of Part IV of the original filing has been amended to contain currently dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Form 10-K/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, respectively.

General

We are a provider of technology infrastructure solutions for enterprise-class organizations such as corporations, schools and federal, state and local governmental agencies. Our solutions 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.

Our network infrastructure and IP voice and video communications solutions are based primarily on Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”) technology. Our network storage solutions are primarily based on NetApp, Inc. (“NetApp”) and EMC Inc. (“EMC”) technology. Our virtualization solutions are based primarily on VMware, Inc. (“VMware”) technology. While our solutions also include products from other manufacturers or software vendors, products from these three manufacturers make up over 90% of our total product revenue.

We provide our customers with planning, design and implementation professional services as well as managed support services and technology hosting services. We believe that our focus and expertise enables us to better compete in the markets that we serve. Because we have significant experience planning, designing, implementing and supporting these enterprise technology solutions for enterprises, we believe we are well positioned to deliver superior solutions to our customers and well positioned to provide our customers with the best possible support for the solutions we provide.

IP is the network data communications protocol deployed in the substantial majority of enterprise organization networks worldwide. Implementing voice over the IP network (“VoIP) is gaining widespread acceptance within enterprise organizations. In addition to voice communications, video communications are increasingly being deployed on the IP network. The convergence of data, voice, and video into a single seamless IP communications infrastructure is increasingly responsible for driving business benefits through improved productivity and cost savings. The foundation of a converged communications platform is a robust, secure, high-performance, high-availability IP network infrastructure. The call processing (telephone call set-up and tear-down) for a VoIP system is a software product commonly referred to as a “soft switch”. Prior to Cisco entering the market for business telephone systems in approximately 1999, Avaya and Nortel were the market share leaders in the enterprise market for business telephone systems. Today, Cisco is the worldwide market share leader for telephony systems for enterprise-class organizations according to third party research. Microsoft announced in early 2007 that they were developing a soft switch technology, and it is widely anticipated that Microsoft will also become a major industry participant. We offer both Cisco and Microsoft solutions.

Increasingly, network attached storage (“NAS”) and storage area networks (“SAN”) are being “IP connected” and communicated with by computing resources through IP network technology rather than through Fibre Channel network technology. This is due in part to the cost advantages of using existing, standard IP network technology rather than a dedicated Fibre Channel network.

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (“FCoE”) is a new technology for mapping Fibre Channel frames over full duplex IP networks, which preserves the popular Fibre Channel protocol while leveraging lower cost, popular 10 gigabit Ethernet network technology for SAN and data center server communications. FCoE allows IP network and SAN data traffic to be consolidated using a single high throughput, low latency network switch optimized for data center network use rather than general enterprise-wide network use, such as a network switch in Cisco’s Nexus family of data center switch products. This can reduce the number of required network interface cards, cables and switches required for a given data center, as well as reduce power and cooling costs. The use of iSCSI and FCoE technology to consolidate data center networks onto a single IP network, together with server virtualization technology, is expected to drive substantial change in the way enterprise data centers are designed and operated, resulting in a lower cost of operating data centers among other benefits.

VMware and other similar products allow servers to be “virtualized” to improve utilization of the investment an organization has made in server processing power resources by creating software based virtual servers that are independent of physical servers so that multiple operating systems and multiple applications can reside on a single physical server. Virtualization of the data center is contributing to substantially increased network data loads due to the requirement to send data across the network between the physical servers that are processing data in a virtualized server environment and the shared network storage devices where data is stored in a virtualized data center.

The trend towards the use of voice and video on the network and the use of IP network-connected data storage devices and servers is driving the need for increased network bandwidth as well as a requirement that organizations’ network architecture be optimized for the manner in which the network is being used by the organization. For instance, the segments of an enterprise organization’s network that are used for voice communications must be optimized so that high quality voice conversations can be conducted over a sometimes busy network. Conversely, data center network infrastructure, which is not used for voice communications, must be optimized to provide very high throughput, low latency communications between servers and network storage devices.

Data and network security is becoming increasingly complex. Increasing use of wireless connectivity to organization’s networks, increasing numbers and types of devices connecting to the network, and the use of server and data center virtualization technology are all contributors to an increasingly complex network security environment.

While the IP network technology itself is changing, the purpose and manner in which the IP network is being used by enterprise organizations is also changing and becoming more complex, and enterprise organizations are becoming more and more reliant upon the IP network. We believe this is creating an increasing desire by enterprise organizations to work with a focused technology solutions provider that possess expert skills in the increasingly complex areas of network infrastructure, unified communications, network data storage, network security and server virtualization. We also believe that enterprise organizations are increasingly appreciative of a technology solutions provider that is willing to take a proactive consultative approach, learning the customer’s environment and goals, and their strategic and tactical needs, rather than simply attempting to sell products and engineering resources.

The solutions we offer include planning, design, implementation and support of network infrastructure, unified communications and data center solutions. Our solutions are designed with the complete life-cycle of our customer’s technology infrastructure investment in mind. Within a finite set of practice areas, we have standardized our planning, design, implementation, and support offerings to drive a reliable and scalable set of solutions that can be tailored to meet the business objectives of our clients.

We currently have seventeen physical offices in sixteen markets, which are located in Texas, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington and Washington DC. We primarily market to “mid-tier” enterprise-class organizations with approximately 200 to 50,000 users of technology that are headquartered in or making purchasing decisions from markets that we serve with branch offices. We plan to continue to expand to additional markets throughout the U.S. by establishing additional branch offices in other markets, either by opening additional new offices or through acquisition.

We derive revenue from sales of both products and services. Our product sales consist primarily of sales of Cisco brand products. NetApp storage products and VMware virtualization software licenses are also meaningful material categories of product sales. We also offer, certain unified communications products from Microsoft, and various products that are “best-of-breed” in certain areas of the solutions that we provide, including products from Left Hand Networks, Cistera Networks, Converged Access, IPCelerate, Tandberg, and others.

Our services revenues are derived from two principal types of services: professional services, which include planning, design and implementation engineering services, and post-sale support services, which consist of remote monitoring and managed services for enterprise network infrastructure. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, products made up 82.2%, 86.7% and 86.7% of total revenue and services made up 17.8%, 13.3% and 13.3% of total revenue.

Industry

Network Infrastructure

The IP network used by an enterprise organization encompasses and includes local area network (“LAN”) or a wide area network (“WAN”) Ethernet network technology. The IP network has evolved to become the platform for virtually all enterprise communications, including data communications between computers within an organization, between the organization and the Internet, for email communications, and more recently for voice and video communications. Now, data center server and storage connectivity is also moving towards the IP network, first with the use of iSCSI technology, and now FCoE technology.

5

 
The way the IP network is evolving to be used by enterprise organizations for virtually all forms of communications is creating the need for the network to be designed properly for the manner in which it is being used by the organization. The increasingly complex manner in which the network is being used, as well as the need for different network attribute requirements for varying uses within the organization, is creating a need for expertise in the design and support of network infrastructure for large, complex organizations.

Wireless connectivity to the IP network, as it continues to proliferate within offices, Wi-Fi hotspots in airports, coffee shops, and even on public transportation, is now becoming common. Although wireless network connectivity is on the way to becoming almost as readily available as electrical power and phone service, deployment of these pervasive wireless networks through the enterprise presents myriad challenges.

The ease of access to a wireless network, while beneficial for public hotspots, becomes a challenge in securing against unauthorized usage while still providing appropriate levels of access for legitimate use. Likewise, the low-cost and low-complexity of consumer wireless products increases the likelihood that user’s will create unsecured wireless networks by simply connecting a wireless access point to an open port on an enterprise organization’s network. A new wireless network standard, 802.11n, improves wireless networking in many respects and is expected to be a driver of wireless networking growth over the next several years.

Power over Ethernet (“PoE”) is a relatively new modification of network switching equipment that allows electrical power to be delivered to network-connected equipment that requires modest power through the network cable from the network switch equipment. Using a single cable for both communications and electrical power reduces cost. PoE is expected to be used by a growing number of enterprises to power IP phones, wireless access points, and IP-enabled video cameras for surveillance and other types. All of these devices require both electrical power and a network connection. Using a single cable for both reduces cost.

The trend towards the use of voice and video on the network and the use of IP network-connected data storage devices and servers is driving the need for increased network bandwidth as well as a requirement that organizations’ network architecture be optimized for the manner in which the network is being used by the organization. Quality of service (“QoS”) is a term used to describe the achievement of a previously determined and programmed priority on the network to various network applications, users or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow, and to optimize network performance for various network applications in the increasingly complex manner in which the IP network is being used by enterprise organizations.

Increased availability of advanced IP network services that demand QoS, such as VoIP and IP telephony on Wi-Fi capable devices, demand QoS on wireless networks. Roaming throughout a building or campus must not only be secure, but seamless. Management of large scale wireless deployments can quickly become unwieldy, especially if access points are deployed as individually configured devices and not as an integrated, centrally managed system. Many organizations have policies driven by regulatory and compliance requirements (such as HIPPA, FIPS compliance and Sarbanes-Oxley) that dictate advanced security requirements for wireless networks. Effective wireless solutions meet the needs of the enterprise in providing secure, ubiquitous network access by making the wireless network a seamless extension of the entire network infrastructure.

The network security market includes firewall, unified threat management, intrusion detection and prevention, and virtual private network solutions. Network security is progressively moving from a tertiary issue to a central component of information and communications technology architecture. Traditionally, much of the focus has been on securing the network edge through firewalls on Internet and Extranet connections. But business and technology drivers are dictating that security, like other services, be applied pervasively throughout the entire network infrastructure. Among the security issues facing enterprise organizations today are the following:

 
The trend towards virtualization of the data center is creating new security complexities. While virtualization actually improves security in some respects, it also introduces new security risks and the complexity of security solutions.

 
The ease with which attacks can be initiated through freely available tools. These attacks are as likely to come from inside the network as they are from the Internet.

 
The increased number of users utilizing laptops and other mobile devices that may become infected while outside the controls of the network further complicates security issues once mobile users reconnect within the network, behind the firewall.

 
In order to support mobile users, organizations are deploying more and more wireless solutions that create another network access point easily compromised by malicious users if not secured properly.

 
While more difficult to exploit than wireless networks, unused network ports that are not properly secured are another potential network access point available to zealous hackers that are able to physically connect to such ports.

 
Many organizations want to grant limited access to guests, consultants, and others while protecting their critical infrastructure from these “less trusted” users.

6

 
 
There is an increasing trend towards criminal activity via network attacks; it is no longer an issue of only “industrial espionage” or vandalism.

 
As security needs increase, the complexity of security solutions increases, requiring well designed solutions.

 
Many organizations have policies driven by regulatory and compliance requirements (such as HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley) that dictate enhanced security stances.

Well designed enterprise-class security solutions address the enterprise organizations’ needs by weaving security throughout the information and communications technology infrastructure going much farther than simply securing the network edge.

Historically, the networking industry has treated network operations as “a sum of individual parts” that have not operated holistically. The approach was to create point product solutions through the creation of individual products designed to solve single problems, one at a time. These products demanded individual administration, management, maintenance, sparing, and optimization that created a challenging and expensive-to-maintain infrastructure.

IP network infrastructure is moving toward a technology environment in which there is a dependency between the component parts of the network that maintain relationships through time and change; a more fully cooperating system that is flexible, stable, predictable and more easily managed. This requires that the IP network infrastructure evolve from route-specific performance to endpoint-to-endpoint performance, from route-level resiliency to service-level resiliency and from box-level management to system-wide management.

As the network evolves to perform higher-level functions, the complexity of the IP network infrastructure and its architecture, by necessity, is increasing. As the network becomes more complex, the role of network architecture design, business process-mapping, policy decision making, implementation and ongoing service and support of the network play increasingly important roles.

While the IP network technology itself is changing, the purpose and manner in which the IP network is being used by enterprise organizations is also changing and becoming more complex, and enterprise organizations are becoming more and more reliant upon the IP network. We believe the only way to achieve 99.999% availability of all services dependent upon on the increasingly complex network, and to ensure desired levels of security, is to have all network devices remotely monitored and managed such that issues can be identified and resolved before the issues become problems, and problems in turn become network failures. Research firm IDC expects monitoring technologies to continue advancing rapidly to address security and interference disruptions. While enterprise organizations have not historically remotely monitored and managed their networks, we believe this is changing as organizations realize how much more their organization is dependent upon the IP network than was the case even just a few years ago.

We believe the increasing complexity of the IP network, and the increasingly mission-critical nature of the network to most enterprise organizations is creating a desire by enterprise organizations to work with a focused technology solutions provider that possess expert skills in the increasingly complex areas of network infrastructure, unified communications, network data storage, network security and server virtualization. We also believe that enterprise organizations are appreciative of a technology solutions provider that is willing to take a proactive consultative approach, learning the customer’s environment and goals, and their strategic and tactical needs, rather than simply attempting to sell products and engineering resources.

Unified Communications

“IP telephony” and “Voice-over-IP” are general terms for an existing and expanding technology that uses an organization’s IP network to perform voice communications that have traditionally been conducted by conventional private branch exchange (“PBX”) telephone systems used by enterprises and by the public switched telephone network (the “PSTN”). IP telephony uses IP network infrastructure and a software product that handles the call processing (telephone call set-up and tear-down), commonly referred to as “soft switch” to replace the telephony functions performed by an organization’s PBX telephone system. The terms “Voice over IP” and “VoIP” are used to describe the process of utilizing the IP network to perform voice communications. “Convergence” is a term generally used to describe the manner in which voice and video communications technology is converging with data communications onto the IP network. The term “unified communications” is a term used to describe a unified environment for e-mail, voicemail, instant messaging, voice and video communications functionality on a single, unified platform or system. “IP communications” is a term generally used to describe data, voice and video communications using an IP network. In addition to offering potential long-term cost savings, implementation of unified communications allows enterprises to reap other benefits of participating in the growing trend of convergence.

Historically, different types of communications were conducted by different means:

 
data communication between computers and servers was performed using LAN/WAN IP network infrastructure, including the Internet;

 
telephone/voice communication was conducted using traditional circuit-switched PBX systems and the PSTN; and

 
video communications have often been accomplished using stand-alone video conferencing systems using either multiple circuit-switched telephone lines over the PSTN or using data network communications.

7

 
In contrast, the converged communications model enables data, voice and video to be carried by a single IP network infrastructure. Unified communications using the IP network infrastructures is already being used by many enterprises, and the trend is building rapidly.

Implementation of unified communications on the IP network can offer both significant long-term cost savings and increased productivity to enterprises. Some of the potential long-term savings that an enterprise might experience include:

 
elimination of redundant traditional telephone line circuits and cabling systems as internal voice communications move to the enterprise’s IP-based network cabling system;

 
reduced cost resulting from consolidation of PSTN circuits to a central location so that all external communications to and from the enterprise occur through fewer or only one point of interface to the PSTN, commonly referred to as “circuit consolidation”;

 
more efficient support of telephone and data functions by a single support organization rather than multiple service providers and in-house support departments;

 
simplified administration and lower costs for moves, adds and changes of the telephone system because an IP telephony handset can be moved or changed within an enterprise without rewiring the PBX or re-programming the telephone number as is required in a conventional PBX system; and

 
elimination or reduction of long distance toll charges as enterprises operating a converged solution move their internal voice communications to the fixed-cost data network that often already exists between the enterprise’s remote facilities.

Once an organization’s voice communications is placed on the IP network its data network becomes its voice communications network. The “IP telephony” systems, including management systems, voice gateways, and messaging systems, are not only easier to set up than traditional PBX telephone system features, they save time and boost productivity. Implementation of IP telephony is commonly an enterprise organization’s first move toward a converged solution.

Unified messaging solutions allow a user to decide how and when they will receive messages. Unified messaging allows for retrieval of any communication form by any method, such as accessing voice messages from a computer or text e-mail, converted to speech, over the phone. This provides a greater level of control over communications, improving organizational productivity. Unified messaging is typically an enterprise organization’s second move toward a more completely converged solution.

Video communications that are seamlessly integrated into voice communications recently became available and are becoming more feasible, but are not yet popular, in part because video communications require more expensive endpoints (telephone handsets) and uses substantial network bandwidth. Over time, as network bandwidth improves, video compression technology is further improved, and as high quality touch screen video endpoints become less expensive, we believe that integrated voice and video communications will become more popular.

IP telephony as implemented by most enterprises often requires upgraded or new IP network infrastructure. Older networks designed solely for data communications are inadequate to accommodate IP telephony functions featuring the quality of telephony service demanded by most enterprise customers. To meet the demands of voice communications delivered across an IP network, the network infrastructure must be able to distinguish between data communication packets and voice communication packets. It must be set up to be capable of prioritizing and allocating the use of system resources between voice and data to achieve the QoS required for voice and video communications. As video becomes an increasingly popular component of business communications, network load will increase substantially due to the substantial network bandwidth required for video communications, and this trend will contribute to an increasing need for network routing and switching upgrades in the future.

Historically, Avaya and Nortel were the market share leaders in telephone systems for enterprise organizations; however, after entering the market in 1999 and evangelizing the advantages of VoIP, Cisco is now the market share leader. Most business telephone systems manufacturers are migrating their offerings to VoIP technology, and a number of new manufacturers have entered the market over the past several years. Early in 2007, Microsoft announced that they were in the process of developing a soft switch platform that would integrate the popular Microsoft Exchange contact and email management functionality with VoIP telephone technology. It is widely anticipated that Microsoft, once they have a viable product, will also become a major market share participant for IP telephony soft switch technology.

No matter which manufacturer wins or loses market share in the soft switch and desktop telephone handset markets (which may be different vendors in the future), the network must still be upgraded to accommodate the demands of voice over the IP network when an organization initially moves its voice communications onto the IP network. Because Cisco has a substantial market share lead over all other network equipment manufacturers combined within the enterprise-class organization space, and because upgrading of the network infrastructure is essential to deploying unified communications, we believe that possessing a high degree of Cisco focus and expertise is important as a provider of unified communications solutions.

Data Center

The data center is undergoing a substantial transformation based on “virtualization” of server resources. VMware is the primary software vendor in the virtualization software market. Virtual server software made by VMware, the product that INX uses for its virtualization solutions, provides a hardware emulation layer between the physical server and the operating system and the related stacks of applications. Each server “guest” operating environment believes that it controls the entire machine, but using virtualization, computing resources are actually allocated to each virtual server based upon rules established at the time of configuration or dynamically using management software. Therefore, operating system software and applications that were previously incompatible can share the same physical server. Research firm IDC expects that by 2011 almost 18% of all physical servers will be deployed with virtualization capabilities, up from 8% in 2006, and that the virtualization segment of the $50 billion worldwide server market will grow by 43% in 2009 to $2.7 billion.

Virtualization of the “data center” can be described as virtualization of physical servers such that these servers can each be used by any number of VMware “virtual” servers, and the use of network storage devices that are “virtualized” such that any number of physical storage devices can be used by the virtualized servers within the data center. “Data center virtualization” creates demands on the IP network due to virtualized physical servers and virtualized network storage devices using the IP network for communications. The growing popularity of 10Gbps Ethernet network technology, together with increasing popularity of iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (“FCoE”) for data center connectivity is also expected to drive demand for upgrades of data center routing and switching infrastructure.

Before virtualization technology, a physical server in a data center environment required a specific operating system, and enterprises often chose to run a single application on a particular physical server in order to reduce the possibility of one application causing an issue with the physical server than then brings down multiple applications. Because of this one-server-for-one-application environment, many enterprises have ended up with many more servers than they originally expected would be required, and server computing power is substantially underutilized. The term “server sprawl” has become a widely used term to describe this issue. The power and cooling requirements for data centers have become major cost factors for enterprise IT budgets. Virtualization allows enterprises to significantly reduce the number of physical servers that are needed in their data center. With management tools that are provided to manage these virtualized data centers, enterprises can add, change or remove physical servers without any application downtime since they can move virtual servers from one physical server to another physical server while an application is running. This enhances reliability and redundancy of the data center while improving new application turn up time since a physical server is no longer required to run a new application, it can be done using a virtual server which can be created in minutes.

Virtualization is contributing to increasing popularity of IP network-connected network storage systems through the use of iSCSI technology, and more recently Fibre Channel over Ethernet (“FCoE”), technologies that allow servers to connect to network storage systems using standard IP network infrastructure rather than specialized Fibre Channel cabling. This allows the various virtualized servers and data storage devices used in a virtualized environment to communicate together and with shared network storage resources no matter where they are physically located using standard IP network connectivity. Virtualization is contributing to substantially increased network loads due to the requirement to send data across the network between the various physical servers that are processing data in the virtualized server environment and the shared network storage devices where data is stored in a virtualized data center.

Storage in a virtualized data center is typically not part of any particular physical server since the applications that need to access the data might be actually running on any one of a number of different physical servers that are being utilized by the virtual server upon which the application is running. Therefore, it is much more efficient to have network-based storage that is accessed through the network by all of the physical servers in a virtualized data center environment. Increasingly, network attached storage (“NAS”) and storage area networks (“SANs”) are being “IP network connected” and communicated with by computing resources through IP network technology rather than through Fibre Channel network technology. This is due in part to the cost advantages of using existing, standard IP network technology rather than a dedicated Fibre Channel network.

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (“FCoE”) is a new technology for mapping Fibre Channel frames over full duplex IP networks, which preserves the popular Fibre Channel protocol while leveraging lower cost, popular 10 gigabit Ethernet network technology for SAN and data center server communications. The FCoE specification is supported by all of the major network and storage product manufacturers. Most enterprise organizations that have data centers utilize an IP network for their enterprise-wide network and use Fibre Channel for SANs. FCoE allows Fibre Channel protocol to run on the IP network together with other IP network traffic, and is expected to become increasingly popular in data center applications because of the cabling and switch equipment reduction it makes possible, as well as in server virtualization applications, which often require many physical I/O connections per server. FCoE allows IP network and SAN data traffic to be consolidated using a single high throughput, low latency network switch optimized for data center network use rather than general enterprise-wide network use, such as a network switch in Cisco’s Nexus family of data center switch products. This can reduce the number of required network interface cards, cables and switches required for a given data center, as well as reduce power and cooling costs. FCoE is a new technology that is currently gaining popularity that is, together with server virtualization technology, expected to drive substantial change in the way enterprise data centers are designed and operated, resulting in a lower cost of operating data centers among other benefits.

Shared network storage also allows enterprises to more efficiently consolidate data and manage, replicate, and mirror information in order to eliminate points of failure that occur during downtime or loss of information, and to provide seamless failover capability. The need for improved productivity as well as regulatory requirements have also accelerated the need for enterprise organizations to protect data, rapidly recover applications, and maintain uninterruptible access to information. Networked storage improves availability and scalability, facilitates a tiered-storage approach, and reduces storage management complexity and cost.

Information, or data, can be classified by criticality, age, and the level of accessibility required. Such a lifecycle-oriented management approach allows an organization to prioritize and make intelligent decisions about the logistics and economics of how to manage different data types. The use of remote data duplication and replication for the purpose of data backup and automated and transparent failover capability is made possible by a network that is capable of transporting the huge volumes of data necessary to accomplish replication, and is another source of rapidly increasing network load and demand for network storage capacity.

Our Business

We serve enterprise-class organizations to intelligently design, deploy and support network infrastructure, unified communications and data center solutions in a way that maximizes their investments. We are a top provider of Cisco’s advanced technology solutions, both in terms of the volume of these technologies deployed and in terms of positive customer experiences as evidenced by Cisco’s customer satisfaction surveys. Our network infrastructure solutions consist of network routing and switching, wireless networking and network security. Our unified communications solutions consist of IP-based voice communications systems, or “IP PBX” systems, IP-based video communications systems and application integration solutions for converged, collaborative communications. Our data center solutions consist of server virtualization, network storage and data center network connectivity solutions.

As one of the earliest entrants to VoIP integration and support, we have successfully deployed and supported unified communications solutions for a large and diverse customer base. We offer a complete range of products and services for Cisco-centric IP network and IP telephony solutions. As the market has matured, the network has evolved to become the platform for virtually all enterprise communications. As this occurred we came to believe that offering a comprehensive range of products and services to our customers was critical in differentiating us from our competitors. Today, we deliver a suite of advanced technology solution sets, which we organize into “practice areas”, that address enterprise customers’ needs in a comprehensive manner, using a consultative approach. We derive revenue through the resale of technology products manufactured by a limited number of best-in-class vendors and through providing professional services and managed services.

Products

We generate revenue from the sale of products. The products we sell consist principally of Cisco brand products, but we also sell network storage products manufactured by NetApp, and EMC, server virtualization software from VMware, certain unified communications products from Microsoft, and various products that are best-of-class in certain areas of the solutions that we provide, including products from Left Hand Networks, Cistera Networks, Converged Access, IPCelerate, Tandberg and others.

Gross margin on product sales was 17.8%, 17.6% and 18.6% for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Product sales revenue grew 18.2%, 33.3% and 43.1%, and made up 82.2%, 86.7% and 86.7% of total revenue in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Services

We generate services revenue by providing services to our customers. We provide two basic categories of service, implementation services and post-sale support services. Gross margin on services revenue was 28.8%, 28.6% and 25.9% for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Services revenue grew 66.4%, 33.6% and 62.3%, and made up 17.8%, 13.3% and 13.3% of total revenue in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Professional Services

We perform professional services related to the planning, design, implementation and support of the solutions that we provide. To provide these services, we employ highly trained and experienced engineering staff. We have developed not only substantial expertise in the various areas of technology that we provide, but also methodologies for designing and implementing the solutions that we provide.

Gross margin on our implementation services revenue was 24.7%, 29.0% and 25.8% for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Implementation services revenue grew 71.2%, 28.2% and 52.4%, and made up 86.0%, 83.7% and 87.2% of total services revenue in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Managed Services

We provide managed services, including remote monitoring and management of enterprise organizations’ network infrastructure, data center, wireless network and security technology, as well as remote disaster recovery hosting.

We have created a specialized support model for supporting Cisco-centric IP-based converged communications systems. Our managed services include remote monitoring, diagnostics and management of the customer’s technology infrastructure equipment and related applications. These managed services are performed using specialized toolsets and a network support center with technical staff that are specifically trained and experienced, both generally in terms of the technology we support as well as the toolsets that we use to provide the support. Customers are notified of system issues either real time or through reporting, and we solve detected problems either remotely or onsite.

10

 
As customers continue to evolve their IP network to become the platform for virtually all communications they become increasingly concerned about their growing dependency upon the IP network. We believe that post-implementation support of the type we offer with our managed services ensures high availability of their converged IP communications infrastructure and critical IP network-dependent systems, and that this type of service is becoming more essential for enterprise organizations. Additionally, we believe that the quality of support services is likely to become among the more significant factors for enterprise-class customers when they are choosing a solutions provider.

Our hosted disaster recovery services provide customers with the ability to have their data center replicated remotely in our hosting center using VMware virtualization technology. This allows the user to be up and running virtually instantly in the case of a disaster at their primary data center that prevents their primary data center from being functional or accessible.

Through our managed services offering we believe we are well positioned to provide support services that enterprise-class organizations desire and require.

Gross margin on our managed support services revenue was 54.2%, 26.1% and 26.8% for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Managed support services revenue grew 42.2%, 70.3% and 192.8%, to make up 14.0%, 16.3% and 12.8% of total services revenue in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

Competition

Our competition for the solutions we provide is highly fragmented, and we compete with numerous large and small competitors.

For network infrastructure solutions we compete with numerous small and large “computer oriented” value added resellers, large systems integrators such as IBM Global Services, and telephone and data circuit service providers such as AT&T and Verizon.

For unified communications solutions we compete with the same type of competitors that we compete with for network infrastructure solutions, a limited number of computer-oriented value added resellers, with large systems integrators and telephone and data circuit service providers, as well as with traditional PBX telephone system manufacturers such as Avaya Inc. and Nortel Networks Corporation, among others, as well as traditional PBX telephone systems “dealers” that sell and support such traditional PBX telephone system manufacturers’ products.”.

For data center solutions we compete primarily with computer-oriented value added resellers and both large system integrators, as well as with a limited number of and smaller data center oriented systems integrators.

We believe that the principal competitive factor when marketing our solutions is price. Other important factors include technical competence, the quality of our support services, the perception of the customer regarding our financial and operational ability to manage a project and to provide high quality service, and the quality of our relationship with the manufacturer of the major products being supplied as a part of the solution.

We believe that customers appreciate technical focus and expertise when choosing a key technology infrastructure solutions provider. We also believe that larger enterprise organizations with a national presence also appreciate and desire a solutions provider that is large enough to handle their needs, and which has a geographic presence in order to serve their various locations. Having grown from a regional Texas-focused organization several years ago, to a national-scope organization today, and having acquired several smaller regional organizations, we have witnessed first-hand the benefits of having a national presence. National presence has been a factor in our ability to win relationships with a number of larger, national-scope customers. We believe that smaller regional competitors are at a disadvantage, not only because of their lack of a national presence, but also because of typically smaller financial capacity and depth and breadth of technical resources. At the same time, we believe we have an advantage over many large national-scope solutions providers because of our focus and expertise as compared to what is often times a generalist, unfocused technology solutions provider, who while large, lacks the ability to deliver to the customer a team of subject matter experts and methodologies for a project as important as the design and upgrade of their advanced technology infrastructure systems.

The market for the solutions that we provide is evolving rapidly, is highly competitive and is subject to rapid technological change. Many of our competitors are larger than we are and have greater financial, sales, marketing, technical and other resources. We expect to face increasing competitive pressures from both current and future competitors in the markets we serve.

The Geographic Markets We Currently Serve

A majority of our customers are located in, or make significant decisions concerning their IP communications infrastructure in the markets in which we maintain branch offices. We believe it is important to have local management, sales and engineering staff in a metropolitan market in order to be a leading competitor in the market. Our corporate administrative offices are located in Houston, Texas and our corporate operations offices are located in Dallas, Texas. As of February 28, 2009 we maintained seventeen branch offices in the following sixteen markets:

 
Los Angeles, California

 
Sacramento, California

 
Glastonbury, Connecticut

 
Boise, Idaho

 
Boston, Massachusetts

 
Albuquerque, New Mexico

 
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

 
Eugene, Oregon

 
Portland Oregon

 
Austin, Texas

 
Dallas, Texas

 
El Paso, Texas

 
Houston, Texas

 
San Antonio, Texas

 
Seattle, Washington

 
Washington, DC

Our Washington, DC branch office markets primarily to the federal government. Four of our seventeen branch offices have been opened or acquired during the past twenty-four months.

Our Plans for Geographic Expansion

By early 2005 we had grown to what we believe was the leading regional focused Cisco-centric network infrastructure and IP telephony solutions provider for Texas, with offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, Texas. Since mid-2005 we have made eight acquisitions that added ten additional branch offices and we opened several new branch offices as new startup operations in new markets. It is our goal and plan to continue opening new offices and making additional acquisitions to further expand our geographic coverage throughout the United States, although for the near-term we are focused more so on expanding through acquisitions rather than opening new offices, which we believe offers a faster path to profitability in new markets as compared to opening new offices.

When we open a new branch office we expect that the new branch office will produce operating losses for a period of six months to eighteen months until revenue has ramped up to a level sufficient that gross profit exceeds normalized levels of operating expenses, and because during such start-up period sales and marketing expenses are higher than normal levels, relative to revenue, as we market our company in the new market. We believe it is sometimes advantageous to enter a new market by acquiring the assets and operations of an existing solutions provider in the market. This is because acquiring an existing organization in a new market allows us to enter the market with an existing set of sales and engineering staff, existing customers, a relationship with the local Cisco branch office, and allows us to enter the market without the need to compete with the acquired organization. Our ability to acquire organizations in a new market is dependent upon an acceptable acquisition candidate organization existing in such new market and our ability to structure a transaction that is acceptable to both the seller and us.

We believe that expanding to new markets creates a two-fold opportunity for us. First, adding new geographic markets provides us with new customer opportunities in those new markets. Second, we believe that with each new market served we gain a better ability to win customer opportunities in many of our other markets because of the increased national presence provided by the additional market.

Customers

Our customers include private enterprises in numerous industries including healthcare, legal, energy, utilities, hospitality, transportation, manufacturing, finance and entertainment, as well as federal, state and local governmental agencies and private and public educational organizations. We typically refer to this type of organization as an “enterprise organization” or an “enterprise”. Today our customers are typically medium- to larger-sized corporate organizations, schools and governmental agencies with approximately 200 to 50,000 users of telephone and/or networked computer technology, although as we continue to expand to new markets throughout the United States we plan to target selling to even larger customers. A majority of our customers are located in, or make significant decisions concerning their network infrastructure and voice communications systems in, the markets in which we maintain branch offices. In addition to our direct sales model to enterprise customers, we also provide technical consulting and project management services as a sub-contractor for other large, national or international systems integrators. Although the majority of our customers are based in the United States, we have performed work at their locations internationally, and we have performed consulting and project management services as a subcontractor internationally. No single customer represented 10% or more of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Sales and Marketing

We market our products and services primarily through our sales personnel, including account managers and customer service representatives. These sales personnel are compensated in part based on productivity, specifically the profitability of sales that they participate in developing. We also promote our services through general and trade advertising, and participation in trade shows. Our sales organization works closely with the Cisco sales organization to identify opportunities.

Supply and Distribution

We purchase products for the technology solutions we provide to our customers. The majority of our product purchases are Cisco products, and the majority of our Cisco product purchases are made directly from Cisco. We also purchase some of our products through various distribution channels when a product is not available directly from Cisco or the other manufacturers’ whose products we offer. We attempt to keep minimal inventory on hand and attempt to purchase inventory only as needed to fulfill orders. We attempt to ship products directly from our supplier to our customer when possible in order to shorten the business cycle and avoid handling the product in our facility, and the substantial majority of the product that we purchase is shipped directly from Cisco to our customer.

Management Information Systems

We use an internally developed, highly customized management information system (“MIS”) to manage most aspects of our business. We use our MIS to manage accounts payable, accounts receivable and collections, general ledger, sales order processing, purchasing, service contracts, service calls and work orders, engineer and technician scheduling and time tracking, service parts acquisition and manufacturer warranties. Reporting can be generated for project profitability, contract and customer analysis, parts and inventory tracking, employee time tracking, etc.

Employees

At February 28, 2009 we employed approximately 433 people. Of these, approximately 139 were employed in sales, marketing and customer service, 180 were employed in engineering and technical positions and 114 were employed in administration, finance and management information systems. We believe our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled and experienced technical, sales and management personnel has been, and will continue to be, critical to our ability to execute our business plans. None of our employees are represented by a labor union nor are any subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

Seasonality

We do not believe our business is substantially influenced by seasonality in the traditional sense. In some years we have experienced stronger second and/or third quarters when certain customers desire to implement large projects during a slow summer period in order to reduce disruption to their business. This has been the case in particular with education sector customers, who typically desire to implement large projects during the summer period when school is not in session. We sometimes experience a strong fourth quarter when we sometimes have certain customers that spend budget funds at year end, but this does not occur every year and there is no seasonal pattern to such customer behavior. The first quarter is typically a somewhat soft quarter, which we believe is due to many customers planning projects and budgets at the beginning of the year and then moving forward with projects several months into the year.

Certain Milestones in Our Corporate Development

We started business as a technology systems integrator, computer reseller and information technology service provider in 1983. We added a traditional PBX telephone systems dealer business unit in 1994, and founded Stratasoft, Inc., a computer-telephony software company, in 1995. We conducted an initial public offering and became a public company in 1997. By 1999, we had grown to over $200 million in revenue, operating from five offices in Texas, with over 500 employees.

13

 
In 1999, we decided to sell both our computer products reselling business and our traditional PBX telephone systems business, which together accounted for approximately 90% of our total revenue at the time, and reposition our company to take advantage of what we believed would become a significant opportunity in the area of converged communications using IP network infrastructure. We closed the sale of these two business units by mid-2000 and started the process of building our current Cisco-centric IP communications solutions organization, which we incorporated in July 2000 as InterNetwork Experts, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary.

When we sold our computer products and traditional PBX telephone systems business in 2000 we retained a small information technology (“IT”) services business. After mid-2000 we operated this IT services business through Valerent, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. We also retained Stratasoft, Inc., the computer-telephony software company we had established in 1995. Thus, from mid-2000 until the end of 2005 we operated as a “holding company” with three subsidiaries, Valerent, Inc., Stratasoft, Inc. and InterNetwork Experts, Inc.

By 2005 our InterNetwork Experts subsidiary had grown to be over 90% of our total revenue and in late 2005 we decided to sell both Valerent and Stratasoft, eliminate our “holding company” structure, and concentrate all of our efforts and resources on our IP communications solutions business. Effective December 31, 2005 we merged our InterNetwork Experts, Inc. subsidiary, which we, Cisco and our customers commonly referred to as “INX,” into the parent publicly-traded company and changed the name of the parent publicly traded company from I-Sector Corporation to INX Inc. We sold Stratasoft in January 2006 and Valerent in October 2006.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Global market and economic conditions, including those related to the credit markets, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In the United States (U.S.), recent market and economic conditions have been unprecedented and have led to tighter credit conditions and slower growth. Continued concerns about the systemic impact of inflation, volatility in energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market, a declining real estate market in the U.S. and added concerns fueled by the federal government interventions in the U.S. financial and credit markets have contributed to instability in both U.S. and international capital and credit markets and diminished expectations for the U.S. and global economy. These conditions, combined with declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have in the period subsequent to September 30, 2008, contributed to volatility of unprecedented levels and an economic slowdown.

As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of capital and credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. If these market conditions continue, they may limit our ability, and the ability of our customers, to timely borrow and access the capital and credit markets to meet liquidity needs, and result in an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The economic slowdown may lead to reduced customer spending for technology and reduced demand for our products which would have a negative impact on revenue, gross profit and results of operations. This may reduce product pricing, which would also have a negative impact on revenue, gross profit and results of operations.

We have a history of losses and may continue to incur losses.

We incurred a net loss from continuing operations in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004. During 2005, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $4,917 including a $5,729 noncash charge for remeasurement of stock options. During 2008, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $12,675 including a $13,071 noncash charge for goodwill, intangible asset, and property and equipment impairment. We cannot assure you that we will achieve profitability or continue to remain profitable in upcoming quarters or years. In order to maintain profitability, we will have to maintain or increase our operating margin, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to increase revenue, if our gross margins decrease, or if we are unable to control our operating expenses, our business could produce losses. In addition, our business depends upon winning new contracts with new customers, the size of which may vary from contract to contract. When we open new branch offices to expand our geographic presence, we expect the newly opened branch offices to produce operating losses for a period of six to eighteen months or more. Whether we are able to remain profitable in the future will depend on many factors, but primarily upon the commercial acceptance of the technologies and product lines that we promote the use of, including, importantly, the network routing and switching products and IP telephony products developed and marketed by Cisco.

14

 
Our goodwill and intangible assets may become impaired.

At December 31, 2008, we had $12,751 in goodwill and $1,852 in intangible assets after recording an impairment charge of $13,071 in the fourth quarter of 2008. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require that we review the value of goodwill on at least an annual basis or when indicators of impairment arise to determine whether the recorded value has been impaired and should be reduced. As required by SFAS 142, the goodwill impairment test is accomplished using a two-step approach. The first step screens for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If under the first step an impairment is indicated, a second step is employed to measure any impairment. This step compares the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. As of December 31, 2008, after completing the first step of the impairment test, there was indication of impairment because our carrying value exceeded our market capitalization. This is also a triggering event to review our long-lived assets for impairment as required by SFAS 144. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, there have been continued adverse changes in the business climate and in the markets in which we operate and as a result our market capitalization has declined. In the event that our goodwill or long-lived assets are further impaired in the future, any impairment charge could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, and could harm the trading price of our common stock.

Our success depends upon maintaining our relationship with Cisco and other key vendors.

Substantially all of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was derived from or dependent upon the sale of Cisco products and related services. We anticipate that these products and related services will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. We have a contract with Cisco to purchase the products that we resell, and we purchase substantially all of our Cisco products directly from Cisco. Cisco can terminate this agreement on relatively short notice. Cisco has designated us an authorized reseller and we receive certain benefits from this designation, including special pricing and payment terms. We have in the past, and may in the future, purchase Cisco-centric products from other sources. When we purchase Cisco-centric products from sources other than Cisco, the prices are typically higher and the payment terms are not as favorable. Accordingly, if we are unable to purchase directly from Cisco and maintain our status as an authorized reseller of Cisco network products, our business could be significantly harmed. In addition, we also depend upon maintaining our relationship with a number of other key vendors, including NetApp and VMware. If we are unable to purchase products from any of our key vendors, including Cisco, NetApp and VMware, or from other sources on terms that are comparable to the terms we currently receive, our business would be harmed and our operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

Our success depends upon broad market acceptance of IP telephony.

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived directly from or dependent upon our customers implementing IP telephony. The market for IP telephony products and services is relatively new and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and strong customer demand for new products, applications and services. As is typical of a new and rapidly evolving industry, the demand for, and market acceptance of, recently introduced IP telephony products and services are highly uncertain. We cannot assure you that the use of IP telephony will become widespread. The commercial acceptance of IP telephony products, including Cisco-centric products, may be affected by a number of factors including:

 
quality of infrastructure;

 
security concerns;

 
equipment, software or other technology failures;

 
government regulation;

 
inconsistent quality of service;

 
poor voice quality over IP networks; and

 
lack of availability of cost-effective, high-speed network capacity.

If the market for IP telephony fails to develop, develops more slowly than we anticipate, or if IP telephony products fail to achieve market acceptance, our business will be adversely affected.

Although our success is generally dependent upon the market acceptance of IP telephony, our success also depends upon a broad market acceptance of Cisco-centric IP telephony.

We cannot assure you that the Cisco-centric IP telephony products we offer will obtain broad market acceptance. Competition, technological advances and other factors could reduce demand for, or market acceptance of, the Cisco-centric IP telephony products and services we offer. In addition, new products, applications or services may be developed that are better adapted to changing technology or customer demands and thus could render our Cisco-centric products and services unmarketable or obsolete. To compete successfully, the Cisco-centric IP telephony products we offer must achieve broad market acceptance and we must continually enhance our related software and customer services in a timely and cost- effective manner. If the Cisco-centric IP telephony products we offer fail to achieve broad market acceptance, or if we do not adapt our existing services to customer demands or evolving industry standards, our business, financial condition and results of operation could be significantly harmed.

15

 
Our success depends upon broad market acceptance of virtualization technology, and in particular the virtualization technology of VMware.

A key part of our growth strategy is dependent upon broad market acceptance of virtualization technology, and in particular the virtualization technology of VMware. The market for virtualization software is relatively new and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and strong customer demand for new products, applications and services. As is typical of a new and rapidly evolving industry, the demand for, and market acceptance of virtualization technology is highly uncertain. We cannot assure you that the use of virtualization technology will be widespread.

Our business depends on the level of capital spending by enterprises for the technology infrastructure products and services we offer.

As a supplier of technology infrastructure solutions for enterprises, our business depends on the level of capital spending for such solutions by enterprises in our markets. We believe that an enterprise’s investment in technology infrastructure and related services depends largely on general economic conditions that can vary significantly as a result of changing conditions in the economy as a whole. The market for the solutions we provide may continue to grow at a modest rate or not at all, or may decrease. If our customers decrease their level of spending, our revenue and operating results would likely be adversely affected. In the latter part of 2007, and continuing into early 2008, we witnessed a general trend towards decreased spending by customers due to what we believe was uncertainty surrounding the status of the U.S. economy. The same factors that drove slowing customer demand then returned later in 2008; including worries over the economy, a possible additional federal government economic stimulus package, and reduced availability of credit to fund projects. To the extent that customers continue to delay moving forward with projects because of actual or perceived economic uncertainty and reduced credit availability, our revenue and profitability will be negatively impacted.

Our profitability depends on Cisco product pricing and incentive programs.

Our annual and quarterly gross profits and gross margins on product sales are materially affected by Cisco product pricing and incentive programs. These incentive programs currently enable us to qualify for cash rebates or product pricing discounts and are generally earned based on sales volumes of particular Cisco products and customer satisfaction levels. We recognized vendor incentives as a reduction of cost of sales amounting to $10,118, $7,200 and $6,303 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing 3.9%, 3.5%, and 4.0% of total revenues. From time to time Cisco changes the criteria upon which qualification for these incentives is based, and there is no assurance that we will continue to meet the program qualifications. Cisco is under no obligation to continue these incentive programs. In addition, we expect our future profitability to be impacted not only by pricing and incentive programs of Cisco, but also by the pricing and incentive programs of NetApp, VMware and other key vendors.

A significant portion of our customers are based in Texas.

Until mid-2005 we were primarily a Texas-based organization and the majority of our customers were in Texas. While we are much less dependent upon Texas customers now than we were two years ago, a significant portion of our customers are still based in Texas. Therefore, our revenue and hence our profitability would be materially affected by a downturn in economic conditions in Texas, in addition to any general economic downturn in the United States. If demand for the products and services we provide to customers in Texas decreases, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be significantly harmed.

Our strategy contemplates geographic expansion, which we may be unable to achieve and which is subject to numerous uncertainties.

A component of our strategy is to become one of the leading national providers of the technology infrastructure solutions we provide. To achieve this objective, we must either acquire existing businesses or hire qualified personnel in various locations throughout the country and fund a rapid increase in operations and implement corporate governance and management systems that will enable us to function efficiently on a national basis. Identifying and acquiring existing businesses is a time-consuming process and is subject to numerous risks. Qualified personnel are in demand, and we expect the demand to increase as the market for the technology infrastructure solutions that we provide grows. We will also likely face competition from our existing competitors and from local and regional competitors in the markets we attempt to enter. A rapid expansion in the size and geographical scope of our business is likely to introduce management challenges that may be difficult to overcome. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in expanding our operations or achieving our goal of becoming a national provider of technology infrastructure solutions. An unsuccessful expansion effort would consume capital and human resources without achieving the desired benefit and would have an adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may require financing to achieve expansion of our business operations, and failure to obtain financing may prevent us from carrying out our business plan.

We may need additional capital to grow our business. Our business plan calls for the expansion of sales of our technology infrastructure solutions to enterprises in geographical markets where we currently do not operate, including expansion through acquisitions. If we do not have adequate capital or are not able to raise the capital to fund our business objectives, we may have to delay the implementation of our business plan. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing if required, or, if financing is available, there is no assurance that the terms would be favorable to existing stockholders. Our ability to obtain financing is subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan, our operating performance and financial condition, and investor sentiment. These factors may affect the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing available to us.

We require access to significant working capital and vendor credit to fund our day-to-day operations. Our failure to comply with the financial and other covenants under our working capital facility could lead to a termination of the agreement and an acceleration of our outstanding debt.

We require access to significant working capital and vendor credit to fund our day-to-day operations. Our credit facility with Castle Pines contains a number of financial and other covenants. A breach of these financial or other covenants, unless waived, would be a default under the credit facility. Upon an event of default, Castle Pines may terminate the credit facility and/or declare all amounts outstanding under the credit facility immediately due and payable. The acceleration of our debt could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity. Additionally, the amount of working capital available to us under the credit facility is dependent upon the amount and quality of our accounts receivable. A significant default or payment delays of our accounts receivable could materially adversely affect our borrowing base and our access to sufficient working capital, which would have an adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there is a risk that Castle Pines Capital may be unable to continue the financing relationship with us due to unforeseen future credit market problems.

We may be unable to manage our growth effectively, which may harm our business.

The ability to operate our business in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management. Our efforts to grow have placed, and are expected to continue to place, a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will require us to successfully attract, train, motivate and manage new employees, to integrate new employees into our operations and to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we are unable to implement adequate controls or integrate new employees into our business in an efficient and timely manner, our operations could be adversely affected and our growth could be impaired.

Our operating results have historically been volatile, and may continue to be volatile, particularly from quarter to quarter.

Our quarter-to-quarter revenue, gross profit and operating profitability have fluctuated significantly. During quarterly periods in which we realize lower levels of revenue our profitability is generally negatively impacted. Our quarterly operating results have historically depended on, and may fluctuate in the future as a result of, many factors including:

 
volume and timing of orders received during the quarter;

 
amount and timing of supplier incentives received in any particular quarter, which can vary substantially;

 
gross margin fluctuations associated with the mix of products sold;

 
general economic conditions;

 
patterns of capital spending by enterprises for communications products;

 
the timing of new product announcements and releases;

 
pricing pressures;

 
the cost and effect of acquisitions;

 
the amount and timing of sales incentives we may receive from our suppliers, particularly Cisco;

 
the availability and cost of products and components from our suppliers; and

 
credit availability.

As a result of these and other factors, we have historically experienced, and may continue to experience, fluctuations in sales and operating results. In addition, it is possible that in the future our operating results may fall below the expectations of analysts and investors, and as a result, the price of our securities may fall.

17

 
We have many competitors and expect new competitors to enter our market, which could increase price competition and may affect the amount of business available to us and the prices that we can charge for our products and services.

The markets for all of the products and services we offer are extremely competitive and subject to rapid change. Growth in demand for many of the technology infrastructure products we provide has been predicted by various industry analysts, and we therefore expect competition to increase as existing competitors enhance and expand their products and services and as new participants enter the market. A rapid increase in competition could negatively affect the amount of business that we obtain and the prices that we are able to charge.

Additionally, many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial resources, customer support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully. Compared to us, our competitors may be able to:

 
develop and expand their products and services more quickly;

 
adapt faster to new or emerging technologies and changing customer needs;

 
take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily;

 
negotiate more favorable agreements with vendors;

 
devote greater resources to marketing and selling their products; and

 
address customer service issues more effectively.

Some of our competitors may also be able to increase their market share by providing customers with additional benefits or by reducing their prices. We cannot be sure that we will be able to match price reductions by our competitors. In addition, our competitors may form strategic relationships with each other to better compete with us. These relationships may take the form of strategic investments, joint-marketing agreements, licenses or other contractual arrangements that could increase our competitors’ ability to serve customers. A material and/or rapid increase in competition would likely have an adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Business acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures entail numerous risks and may disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or distract management attention.

As part of our business strategy, we have completed acquisitions and plan to continue to consider acquisitions of, or significant investments in, businesses that offer products, services and technologies complementary to ours. Any acquisition could materially adversely affect our operating results and/or the price of our securities. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, some of which we have experienced and may continue to experience, including:

 
unanticipated costs and liabilities;

 
difficulty of integrating the operations, products and personnel of the acquired business;

 
difficulty retaining key personnel of the acquired business;

 
difficulty retaining customers of the acquired businesses;

 
difficulties in managing the financial and strategic position of acquired or developed products, services and technologies;

 
difficulties in maintaining customer relationships, in particular where a substantial portion of the target’s sales were derived from products that compete with products that we currently offer;

 
the diversion of management’s attention from the core business;

 
inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures; and

 
damage to relationships with acquired employees and customers as a result of integration of the acquired business.

Finally, to the extent that shares of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock are issued in connection with any future acquisitions, dilution to our existing stockholders will result and our earnings per share may suffer. Any future acquisitions may not generate the anticipated level of revenue and earnings or provide any benefit to our business, and we may not achieve a satisfactory return on our investment in any acquired businesses.

18

 
Our international operations, which we plan to expand, will subject us to additional risks that may adversely affect our operating results due to increased costs.

Revenue generated by products delivered and services provided outside the United States, as a percentage of consolidated revenue, was approximately 3.5%, 3.7% and 4.9% for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Substantially all of our international revenue represents products delivered or services provided in foreign countries for companies based in the United States or for the United States Armed Forces under contracts entered into, administered and paid in the United States. We intend to continue to pursue international opportunities. Pursuit of international opportunities may require us to make significant investments for an extended period before returns on such investments, if any, are realized. International operations are subject to a number of risks and potential costs, including:

 
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and telecommunication standards;

 
tariffs and other trade barriers;

 
risk of loss in currency exchange transactions;

 
exchange controls or other currency restrictions;

 
difficulty in collecting receivables;

 
difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations;

 
the need to customize marketing and products;

 
inadequate protection of intellectual property in countries outside the United States;

 
adverse tax consequences; and

 
political and economic instability.

Any of these factors could prevent us from increasing our revenue and therefore adversely affect our operating results. We may not be able to overcome some of these barriers and may incur significant costs in addressing others.

If we lose key personnel we may not be able to achieve our objectives.

We are dependent on the continued efforts of our senior management team, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, James Long, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Mark Hilz, and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Brian Fontana. If for any reason, these or other senior executives or other key members of management do not continue to be active in management, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to retain our senior executives or other personnel necessary for the maintenance or development of our business.

We may not be able to hire and retain highly skilled technical employees, which could affect our ability to compete effectively and could adversely affect our operating results.

We depend on highly skilled technical personnel to research and develop and to market and service our technology infrastructure solutions and to provide the services we provide to our customers. To succeed, we must hire and retain employees who are highly skilled in rapidly changing communications technologies. In particular, as we implement our strategy of focusing on technology infrastructure solutions, we will need to:

 
hire more employees with experience developing and providing technology infrastructure products and services;

 
retrain our current personnel to sell and support the technology infrastructure solutions that we intend to market in the future; and

 
retain personnel to service our products.

Individuals who can perform the services we need to provide our products and services are scarce. Because the competition for qualified employees in our industry is intense, hiring and retaining qualified employees is both time-consuming and expensive. We may not be able to hire enough qualified personnel to meet our needs as our business grows or to retain the employees we currently have. Our inability to hire and retain the individuals we need could hinder our ability to sell our existing products, systems, software or services or to develop and sell new ones. If we are not able to attract and retain qualified employees, we will not be able to successfully implement our business plan and our business will be harmed.

19


If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business may be harmed.

Although we attempt to protect our intellectual property through patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and other measures, intellectual property is difficult to protect and these measures may not provide adequate protection. Patent filings by third parties, whether made before or after the date of our patent filings, could render our intellectual property less valuable. Competitors may misappropriate our intellectual property, disputes as to ownership of intellectual property may arise and our intellectual property may otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. The failure to protect our intellectual property could seriously harm our business because we believe that developing new products and technology that are unique to us is important to our success. If we do not obtain sufficient international protection for our intellectual property, our competitiveness in international markets could be significantly impaired, which would limit our growth and future revenue.

We may be found to infringe on third-party intellectual property rights.

Third parties may in the future assert claims or initiate litigation related to their patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights in technology that is important to us. The asserted claims and/or litigation could include claims against us or our suppliers alleging infringement of intellectual property rights with respect to our products or components of those products. Regardless of the merit of the claims, they could be time consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, or require us to develop a non-infringing technology or enter into license agreements. There can be no assurance that licenses will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, because of the potential for high court awards, which are not necessarily predictable, it is not unusual to find even arguably unmeritorious claims resulting in large settlements. If any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us by any third party is successful, or if we fail to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Costs of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related SEC regulations may harm our results of operations.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires heightened financial disclosure and corporate governance for all publicly traded companies. Although the costs of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are uncertain due to several factors, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC regulations or the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) may result in penalties, fines or delisting of our securities from Nasdaq, which could limit our ability to access the capital markets, having a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.

Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to our business, including but not limited to, revenue recognition, sales returns reserves, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, income taxes, and litigation, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported or expected financial performance.

Failure of our internal control over financial reporting could limit our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes: maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of the financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures of our assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Any failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could limit our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely or to detect and prevent fraud.

We rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions, summarize results and manage our business. Disruptions in both our primary and secondary (back-up) systems could harm our ability to run our business.

Although we have independent, redundant, and primary and secondary computer systems, given the number of individual transactions we have each year, it is critical that we maintain uninterrupted operation of our business-critical computer systems. Our computer systems, including our back-up systems, are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, internal or external security breaches, catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes, and/or errors by our employees. If our computer systems and our back-up systems are damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make significant investment to fix or replace them, and we may suffer interruptions in our operations in the interim. Any material interruption in both of our computer systems and back-up systems may have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

20

 
Natural disasters could unfavorably affect our financial performance.

The occurrence of natural disasters, such as hurricanes or earthquakes, particularly in Texas where our centralized operating systems and administrative personnel are located, could unfavorably affect our operations and financial performance. Such events could result in physical damage to one or more of our properties, the temporary closure of one or more properties, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a market, and the temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of products from suppliers.

Over 20% of our stock is controlled by our chairman and chief executive officer, who has the ability to substantially influence the election of directors and other matters submitted to stockholders.

James H. Long beneficially owns 1,808,150 shares of our common stock, which represent approximately 20.7% of our shares outstanding as of February 28, 2009. As a result, he has and is expected to continue to have the ability to significantly influence the election of our board of directors and the outcome of all other issues submitted to our stockholders. The interests of this principal stockholder may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and he may act in a manner that advances his best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders. One consequence to this substantial influence or control is that it may be difficult for investors to remove management of the company. It could also deter unsolicited takeovers, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

Our stock price may be subject to substantial volatility, and the value of your investment may decline.

Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Market, and trading volume may be limited or sporadic. The market price of our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, substantial volatility. During 2008, our common stock traded between $4.20 and $13.25 per share, on volume ranging from approximately 500 to 191,000 shares per day. As a result, the current price for our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market is not necessarily a reliable indicator of our fair market value. The price at which our common stock will trade may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results, new products or services by us or competitors, regulatory investigations or determinations, acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or our competitors, recruitment or departures of key personnel, the gain or loss of significant customers, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, actual or threatened litigation, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole. Volatility in the price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market may depress the trading price of the common stock our common stock. The risk of volatility and depressed prices of our common stock also applies to warrant holders who receive shares of common stock upon conversion.

Numerous factors, including many over which we have no control, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock, including:

 
announcements of new products or services by us or our competitors; current events affecting the political, economic and social situation in the United States and other countries where we operate;

 
trends in our industry and the markets in which we operate;

 
changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts;

 
acquisitions and financings by us or our competitors;

 
the gain or loss of a significant customer;

 
quarterly variations in operating results;

 
the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may consider to be comparable; and

 
purchases or sales of blocks of our securities.

Furthermore, stockholders may initiate securities class action lawsuits if the market price of our stock drops significantly, which may cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of our management.

Future issuances of common stock and hedging activities may depress the trading price of our common stock.

Any future issuance of equity securities, including the issuance of shares upon exercise of outstanding warrants, could dilute the interests of our existing stockholders, and could substantially decrease the trading price of our common stock. As of February 28, 2009, we had outstanding approximately 2.0 million warrants and options to acquire our common stock at prices between $0.82 and $12.63 per share. We may issue equity securities in the future for a number of reasons, including to finance our operations and business strategy, in connection with acquisitions, to adjust our ratio of debt to equity, to satisfy our obligations upon the exercise of outstanding warrants or options or for other reasons. The market price of our common stock could decline significantly if we or our existing stockholders sell a large number of shares, if we issue a large number of shares of our common stock in connection with future financing activities, acquisitions or otherwise, or due to the perception that such sales could occur. These factors also could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.

21

 
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, charter documents and Delaware law could discourage a change in control, or an acquisition of us by a third party, even if the acquisition would be favorable to you, thereby and adversely affect existing stockholders

Our certificate of incorporation and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that may have the effect of making more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control of our company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of stockholders. For example, our certificate of incorporation also authorizes our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock, which could have voting and conversion rights that adversely affect or dilute the voting power of the holders of common stock. Delaware law also imposes conditions on certain business combination transactions with “interested stockholders.”

These provisions and others that could be adopted in the future could deter unsolicited takeovers or delay or prevent changes in our control or management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. These provisions may also limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and accordingly you must rely on stock appreciation for any return on your investment

We have paid no cash dividends on our common stock to date, and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the continued development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, any payment of cash dividends will also depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors, including contractual restrictions to which we may be subject, and will be at the discretion of our board of directors.

General

We are a provider of technology infrastructure solutions for enterprise-class organizations such as corporations, schools and federal, state and local governmental agencies. Our solutions 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. We provide our customers with planning, design and implementation professional services as well as managed support services. We believe that our focus and expertise enables us to better compete in the markets that we serve. Because we have significant experience planning, designing, implementing and supporting these types of technology infrastructure for enterprises, we believe we are well positioned to deliver superior solutions to our customers and well positioned to provide our customers with the best possible support of the solutions we provide.

The market for the technology infrastructure solutions we provide is characterized by rapidly evolving and competing technologies. We compete with larger and better financed entities. We currently have seventeen physical offices in sixteen markets, which are located in Texas, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Washington DC. We primarily market to enterprise-class organizations headquartered in, or making purchasing decisions from markets that we serve with branch offices. We plan to continue to expand throughout the U.S. by establishing additional branch offices in other markets, either by opening additional new offices or through acquisition.

We derive revenue from sales of both products and services. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, sales of products made up 82.2%, 86.7% and 86.7% of total revenue and services revenues made up 17.8%, 13.3% and 13.3% of total revenue.

A key component of our long-term operating strategies is to improve operating profitability. Our gross profit margin on product sales is lower than our gross margin on service revenues. Our gross margin on product sales was 17.8%, 17.6% and 18.6% for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and our gross margin on service revenue was 28.8%, 28.6% and 25.9% for those same periods. The market for the products we sell is competitive, and we compete with other suppliers for our customers’ business. The principal factors that determine gross margin on product sales include:

 
the mix of large, competitively bid sales transactions as compared to smaller, less competitive transactions;

 
the mix of new customer transactions, which tend to be more competitively bid by us, as compared to transactions with existing customers, which tend to be somewhat less competitive; and

 
the mix of products sold, with certain newer, advanced product categories generating higher gross margin than other, more traditional products.

The principal factors that influence gross margin on service revenue include:

 
the utilization of our technical engineering resources used to perform our professional services;

 
the amount of managed support and hosting services as compared to the cost of operating our managed services support center and hosting operations, which costs are somewhat fixed;

 
the mix between the different types of service.

We expect to be able to improve our gross margin on services revenues if our managed support services revenue increases at a more rapid rate than our professional services revenue. This is because our cost of providing managed services is somewhat fixed and does not increase in direct proportion to revenue.

If we are able to maintain our gross margin on product sales, improve our gross margin on services revenues and change our revenue mix to include a larger amount of service revenue our gross margin on total revenue will improve, which is a key component of our strategy to improve operating profitability.

Certain of our selling, general and administrative expenses, such as sales commissions, vary with revenue or gross profit. Certain other selling, general and administrative expenses are somewhat fixed and do not vary directly with revenue or gross profit. We hope to be able to achieve a degree of leverage on certain categories of selling, general and administrative expenses as we continue to grow, so that these expenses will become a lower percentage of revenue, which combined with improvements in gross margin would increase operating profit margin from our existing branch offices.

26

 
To the extent we continue to open new branch offices our operating profitability will be negatively impacted in the short term because we expect that opening a new branch office will typically result in operating losses from the newly opened branch office for a period of six to eighteen months or more. This is because when we open a new branch office we must hire sales and engineering staff before we generate sales and because we incur increased levels of sales and marketing expense in order to establish our presence in the new market, and to attract new customers. We believe it is important to expand rapidly to obtain a national presence, and that the return on our investment from opening new offices will be significant over an approximate three to five year period, relative to the investment required and, therefore, we believe it is sometimes in our best interest to open new offices even though doing so reduces near-term operating profitability. However, during 2007 and 2008 we focused on organic growth of our existing offices and acquisitions to produce growth in order to improve operating profit margin, which we were successful in doing during 2007 and early 2008 prior to deteriorating economic conditions and customer demand caused operating profit margin to decline. In 2009, due to expected weak economic conditions, we anticipate that we will continue to favor acquisitions over new office openings as the preferred method of geographic expansion, but we will continue to look at opportunities to open new offices in new markets on a case-by-case basis.

While we have long-term goals of achieving both revenue growth and improved profitability, economic conditions will play an important role in our ability to achieve these goals. Our ability to improve operating profit margin is contingent upon our achievement of revenue growth, and leveraging certain fixed operating costs against a higher level of revenue. Economic conditions deteriorated substantially in 2008. To the extent that economic conditions improve our ability to achieve our goals of revenue growth and improved profitability will be less difficult, and to the extent economic conditions remain weak, or deteriorate further, achievement of our goals will be made more difficult because of a decreased ability to increase revenue due to lower relative levels of customer demand for the technology infrastructure solutions we provide.

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations with an overview of our strategies for achieving our goals of revenue growth and improved profitability. From a financial perspective, these operating strategies have a number of important implications for our results of operations and financial condition.

Strategy

Over the course of the next several years we plan to improve profitability by implementing the strategies discussed below. We believe that our strategies will allow us to continue to increase total revenues as well as improve our gross margins on our service revenue. At the same time, we will seek to limit the growth of certain relatively fixed components of our selling, general and administrative expenses relative to the growth of revenue so that those expenses become a relatively smaller percentage of total revenues. Through a combination of increased revenue, slightly increased gross margin and somewhat lesser growth of selling, general and administrative expenses, relative to the growth of revenue, we hope to be able to increase our operating margin and increase profitability at a more rapid rate than revenue increases, particularly from our existing branch offices. We expect that selling expenses can generally be expected to increase in proportion to our revenue increases. For example, our sales and sales management staff earn sales commissions that are typically calculated as a percentage of gross profit produced and thus vary in correlation with gross profit for any given period. Based on our sales commission plans, we expect variable sales commissions to be approximately 20% to 23% of gross profit, which percentage can vary from period to period depending on gross profit production under our various sales commission plans, and due to variations between gross profit on a financial statement and gross profit that sales staff are paid on, which can vary due to engineering resource utilization and other factors. However, other than sales commissions, our other categories of operating expenses do not vary in direct proportion to either sales or gross profit, and we believe that if we are successful in implementing our strategies, many categories of general and administrative expenses (such as management salaries, administrative wages and professional expenses) will decrease as a percentage of our total revenues over the long term because we believe we can achieve some levels of leverage on certain of these operating expenses.

Our key operating strategies include:

 
Aligning ourselves with the leading manufacturers of technology infrastructure products of the type we provide. To this end, Cisco has always been our primary supplier for network routing and switching and IP telephony products that we offer, and we align ourselves with what we believe to be the “best of breed” manufacturer in each area of technology or specific product in order to provide our customers with the best technology available.

 
Promoting our managed support and hosting services to generate increased recurring services revenues and improve gross margin on service revenue.

 
Increasing the gross revenues from our higher gross margin services offerings, as compared to product sales that typically produce relatively lower gross margins.

 
Opening new branch offices in new markets.

 
Expanding geographically by acquiring complementary businesses and by opening new offices.

 
Marketing to larger customers as we become more of a “national” level provider of technology infrastructure solutions.

Increases in the size and volume of the projects we undertake can challenge our cash management. For example, larger projects can reduce our available cash by requiring that we carry higher levels of inventory. Larger projects can also require other investments in working capital. This is because, in some cases, we do not receive payments from our customers for extended periods of time. Until we invoice the customer and are paid, all of the cash expended on labor and products for the project remains invested in work-in-progress or accounts receivable. We expect that we will need increasing levels of working capital in the future if we are successful in growing our business as we intend. To meet our cash requirements to support planned growth, we expect to rely on capital provided from our operations and our credit facility, which is collateralized by our accounts receivable and substantially all of our other assets.

27

 
During 2008, 2007 and 2006, 82.2%, 86.7% and 86.7% of our revenue was attributable to product sales, while 17.8%, 13.3% and 13.3% was attributable to services revenues. The gross profit margins on our services revenues have been substantially higher than those for product sales. We hope to be able to increase revenue from services at a more rapid rate than increases in our product sales revenue. We believe this is possible if we are successful in marketing our managed support and hosting services, which generate recurring services revenues. If we are successful at growing our service revenues at a more rapid rate than our product sales revenues our overall gross margin on total revenue should improve. The success of this aspect of our strategy depends in part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and experienced engineering employees and the acceptance by the market of our managed support services offering.

For the last three years, the largest component of our total cost of sales and service has been purchases of Cisco products. The majority of those purchases were directly from Cisco. We typically purchase from various wholesale distributors only when we cannot purchase products directly from Cisco on a timely basis. Our reliance on Cisco as the primary supplier for the products we offer means that our results of operations from period to period depend substantially on the terms upon which we are able to purchase these products from Cisco and, to a much lesser extent, from wholesale distributors of Cisco’s products. Therefore, our ability to manage the largest component of our cost of sales and service is very limited and depends to a large degree on maintaining and improving our relationship with Cisco. Our cost of products purchased from Cisco can be substantially influenced by whether Cisco sponsors sales incentive programs and whether we qualify for such incentives. There is a risk that we may not meet the required incentive criteria in the future. The respective timing of when vendor incentives become earned and determinable has created material fluctuations in our gross margin on product sales in the past.

We also plan to increase our business in other geographic areas through strategic acquisitions of similar businesses or by opening our own offices. This aspect of our strategy can affect our financial condition and results of operations in many ways. The purchase price for business acquisitions and the costs of opening offices may require substantial cash and may require us to incur long term debt. The expenses associated with opening a new office in a new market may well exceed the gross profit produced on revenues attributable to such new office for some time, even if it performs as we expect. It is possible that our acquisition activities may require that we record substantial amounts of goodwill if the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired, which we expect is likely. To the extent an acquisition results in goodwill, we will reevaluate the value of that goodwill at least annually. If we determine that the value of the goodwill has been impaired, the resulting adjustment could result in a non-cash charge to earnings in the periods of revaluation.

Registered Direct Offering

In June, 2008, we sold 900,000 shares of common stock through a registered direct offering to certain institutional investors at a price of $11.00 per share. The net cash proceeds, after deducting the placement agent’s fee and other offering expenses of $1,149, were approximately $8,751. The net cash proceeds were partially used to repay the $6,000 outstanding balance under the Acquisition Facility, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes including possible future acquisitions.

Acquisitions.

Access Flow, Inc.

Under an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 6, 2008 (the “APA”), we 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 acquisition was completed simultaneously with the execution of the APA. Neither AccessFlow nor any shareholder of AccessFlow has any prior affiliation with INX. The APA contains customary representations and warranties and requires AccessFlow and its Shareholders to indemnify us 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 our common stock. The common stock was valued at $13.06 per share or $3,430. The number of common stock shares issued was determined by dividing $2,627 by the lesser of (i) the average closing price per share for the common stock, as reported by Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending prior to the second day before June 6, 2008, which was $12.96 per share or (ii) $10.00 per share. 24,000 shares of the stock consideration were placed in escrow under holdback provisions defined in the APA. The two shareholders of AccessFlow entered into five-year noncompete agreements at closing, which provide for payments to each in the aggregate amount of $50 in equal monthly installments of approximately $8 each per month over the six month period subsequent to closing. Broker costs and professional fees of $346 were incurred in the purchase, of which $174 was paid in cash, $16 accrued, and $156 was paid through the issuance of 11,935 shares of 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 our 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.

28

 
NetTeks Technology Consultants, Inc.

Under an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 14, 2008 (the “Agreement”), we 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. We completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the Agreement. Neither NetTeks nor any shareholder of NetTeks has any prior affiliation with the INX. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and requires NetTeks and the Shareholders to indemnify us 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 our Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of which 15,385 Common Stock shares were held in escrow under holdback provisions defined in the Agreement. The common stock was valued at $5.29 per share or $163. The number of Common Stock shares issued was determined by dividing $200 by $6.50 per share. Professional fees of $51 were paid in connection with the purchase.

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 our 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”), we 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. We 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 INX 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 our Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “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.

Select, Inc.

Under a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2007 (the “SPA”), we purchased all issued and outstanding capital stock of Select, Inc. (“Select”). Located in Boston, Massachusetts, Select is a Cisco-centric solutions provider focused on delivering IP Telephony, IP Storage and network infrastructure solutions throughout New England with approximately $40,000 in annual revenues. We completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the SPA. The SPA contains customary representations and warranties and requires Select’s shareholders (“Shareholders”) to indemnify INX for certain liabilities arising under the SPA, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

The consideration paid at closing pursuant to the SPA was (a) $6,250 in cash, including $1,000 placed in escrow under holdback provisions defined in the SPA and (b) 231,958 shares of our Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) valued at $10.60 per share or $2,459, which amount of shares was determined by dividing $2,250 by $9.70, which is the greater of (i) average closing price per share for the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending August 28, 2007 and (ii) $9.50. The President and major shareholder of Select entered into a five-year noncompete agreement at closing providing for equal monthly payments of $21 over two years, which were recorded at their present value of $450. Cash of $6,000 was borrowed from the Acquisition Facility under the Credit Agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC. In connection with the stock purchase, the Credit Agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC was amended for the modification of certain financial covenants and for the addition of Select as a party to the Credit Agreement. Broker costs and professional fees of $512 were incurred in the purchase, of which $388 was paid in cash and $124 was paid through the issuance of 11,598 shares of common stock.

29

 
Additional purchase consideration may be payable based on the Select branch office revenue and operating profit during the two years subsequent to the date of the SPA. For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2008, the revenue and operating profit contribution was less than the minimum required under the SPA resulting in no additional purchase consideration due the Shareholders. For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2009, if revenue is greater than $53,000 and operating profit contribution is greater than or equal to $3,710, then we shall pay the Shareholders additional purchase consideration of $600 and will pay an additional $50 for each $150 of operating profit contribution in excess of $3,710 up to a maximum of $600 with an aggregate maximum of $1,200 in additional purchase consideration. At our option, 50% of such additional purchase price may be paid in the form of Common Stock. Additional purchase price consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

Results of Operations

Overview

Sources of Revenue.  Our revenue consists of product and service revenue. Product revenue consists of reselling technology products manufactured by others. Cisco products represent the majority of the products we sell, but we also sell network storage products manufactured by Network Appliance and EMC, certain unified communications products from Microsoft, and various products that are “best-of-breed” in certain areas of the solutions that we provide, including products from Avotus, Cistera Networks, Converged Access, IPCelerate, Riverbed, Sagem-Interstar, Tandberg, Variphy, VMWare and others. Service revenue is generated by fees from a variety of implementation and support services. Product prices are typically set by the market for the products we sell and provide our lowest gross margins. Gross margin on service revenue varies based on the cost of technical resources and our utilization of our technical resources, which are reflected as a cost of service. Certain fixed and flat fee service contracts that extend over three months or more are accounted for on the percentage of completion method of accounting.

Historically, the majority of our services revenue has been generated from professional services, which we believe varies somewhat in proportion to our product sales. Professional services revenue is project oriented and tends to be somewhat volatile on a quarter-to-quarter basis as projects start and stop and we redeploy technical resources to new projects. As the number, frequency and size of our projects continue to grow, we hope to achieve better utilization of our engineering resources, resulting in improved gross margins on professional services revenue and less volatility in the amount of quarterly professional services revenue realized. The normal sales cycle for corporate customers typically ranges from approximately three to six months depending on the nature, scope and size of the project. Our experience with educational organizations utilizing E-Rate funding, which is a federal government funding program for schools administered by the Schools and Libraries Division of the Universal Services Administrative Corporation (the “SLD”), indicates that the sales cycle for these projects is generally about six to twelve months or longer.

In mid-2004, we introduced our managed support service offering that consists primarily of customer service personnel and a support center. This support service offering requires that we incur the fixed cost to operate a network operations center to monitor and manage customers’ systems. Early in the development of our managed services offering this fixed cost, as compared to the level of managed service revenue, resulted in negative gross margins from our managed service offering. As revenue improved, gross margin from our managed services offering turned positive and has improved recently. If we are successful in continuing to realize increasing levels of managed services revenue, we anticipate that our gross margin on managed services will eventually exceed our gross margin on professional services and will improve overall services gross margins. We recognize managed support service revenue evenly over the entire service period for the customer.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin.  The mix of our various revenue components, each of which has substantially different levels of gross margin, materially influences our overall gross profit and gross margin in any particular quarter. In periods in which service revenue is high as compared to product sales, our gross margin generally improves as compared to periods in which we have higher levels of product sales. Our gross margin for product sales also varies depending on the type of product sold, the mix of large revenue product sales contracts, which typically have lower gross margin as compared to smaller revenue product sales contracts, which typically have higher gross margin. Gross margin percentage on product sales is generally positively influenced by repeat business with existing customers, which are typically smaller transactions that generate slightly higher levels of gross margin as compared to large, competitively bid projects.

Our annual and quarterly gross profit and gross margin on product sales are materially affected by vendor incentives, most of which are Cisco incentive programs. The incentive programs sponsored by Cisco currently enable us to qualify for cash rebates or product pricing discounts. The most significant incentive is a Cisco incentive that is generally earned based on sales volumes of particular Cisco products and customer satisfaction levels. The amounts earned and costs incurred under these programs are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold, and the increased gross profit results in an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to sales commissions. We recognized vendor incentives of $10,118, $7,200, and $6,303 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The amounts earned under these programs are accrued when they are deemed probable and can be reasonably measured; otherwise, they are recorded when they are declared by the vendor or the cash is received, whichever is earlier. Our product cost and resulting gross profit can vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending upon vendor incentive criteria and our ability to qualify for and recognize such incentives.

A significant portion of our cost of services is comprised of labor, particularly for our professional services revenue. Our gross margin on service revenue fluctuates from period to period depending not only upon the prices charged to customers for our services, but also upon the level of utilization of our technical staff. Management of labor cost is important to maximize gross margin. Our gross margin is also impacted by such factors as contract size, time and material pricing versus fixed fee pricing, discounting, vendor incentives and other business and marketing factors normally incurred during the conduct of business. Several years ago we purposely over staffed technical and engineering staff in order to have the technical competency necessary to gain market share and create a successful organization. Over the past several years as we have grown, we have been able to better utilize our technical and engineering staff and this has helped to improve the gross margin percentage on service revenue in more recent years as compared to several years ago. When we open new branch offices in new markets, we also must over staff technical and engineering resources in order to have the personnel necessary to win customer relationships in the new market, and the fact that we opened multiple new offices in the latter half of 2005 and first half of 2006 caused gross margin on our professional services to be reduced during the latter half of 2005 through the early part of 2007. If we open new offices in new markets in the future we expect gross margin on our professional services to be negatively impacted by such new branch office operations. The extent to which total professional services gross margin will be negatively impacted will vary based on the number and size of new branch offices we open in any given period, relative to the number of and size of mature branch offices.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Our selling, general and administrative expenses include both fixed and variable expenses. Relatively fixed categories of expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses include rent, utilities, and administrative wages. Variable categories of expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses include sales commissions and travel, which will usually vary based on our sales and gross profit. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include expenses which vary significantly from period to period but not in proportion to sales or gross profit. These include legal expenses and bad debt expense, both of which vary based on factors that are difficult to predict.

A significant portion of our selling, general and administrative expenses relate to personnel costs, some of which are variable and others that are relatively fixed. Our variable personnel costs consist primarily of sales commissions. Sales commissions are typically calculated based upon our gross profit on a particular sales transaction and thus generally fluctuate because of the size of the transaction and the mix of associated products and services with our overall gross profit. Prior to 2007, sales commissions were approximately 27% to 31% of gross profit and in 2007 and 2008, sales commissions were approximately 20.0% to 23.0% of gross profit. Bad debt expense generally fluctuates somewhat in proportion to sales levels, although not always in the same periods as increases or decreases in sales. Legal expense varies based on legal issue activity, which can vary substantially from period to period. Other selling, general and administrative expenses are relatively fixed and do not vary in direct proportion to increases in revenue, but will generally increase over time as the organization grows. We believe that we can achieve some level of leverage on these somewhat fixed operating expenses, relative to revenue growth, and if we are successful in doing so that this will help to increase our net operating margin.

Impairment Charge.  As of December 31 each year, we perform an annual goodwill impairment test as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Based on a discounted cash flow analysis, the sharp decline in our market capitalization beginning in November 2008, and the rapidly deteriorating macroeconomic environment in the fourth quarter of 2008, we concluded that the goodwill of our Access Flow, Inc., Select, Inc., Datatran Network Systems, InfoGroup Northwest, Inc., and Network Architects, Corp. acquisitions was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $9,396 in the fourth quarter of 2008.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we record impairment charges on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. Assets are considered impaired when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets and the net book value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value. In connection with the triggering events discussed in the preceding paragraph, we tested the recoverability of our long-lived assets and concluded the carrying values of intangible assets and property and equipment from the AccessFlow, Inc. and Select, Inc. acquisitions were no longer recoverable. Consequently, during the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded an impairment charge of $3,328 and $347 to write the intangibles assets and property and equipment, respectively, down to their estimated fair values.

Tax Loss Carryforward.  Because of our tax operating losses in 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007 and exercises of stock options, we have accumulated a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes that, at December 31, 2008, 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 2027 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. If we achieve sustained profitability, which may not occur, the use of net operating loss carryforwards would reduce our tax liability and increase our net income and available cash resources. When all operating loss carryforwards have been used or have expired, we would again be subject to increased tax expense.

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 taxable 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, after giving consideration to the impairment charge, we established a full valuation allowance against the related deferred tax asset and all other temporary items totaling $4,031 as we determined it was more like than not that the assets would not be used to reduce future tax liabilities. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we reversed the valuation allowance related to the net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary items as we determined it was more likely than not that we would be able to use the assets to reduce future tax liabilities. The reversal resulted in recognition of an income tax benefit of $535 in 2007 and a corresponding increase in the deferred tax asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Part II, Item 8.

Restatement. On August 12, 2009, management of the Company in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that the our financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 required restatement.  This determination was made following a review which included the following:

 
·
We previously presented our floor plan financing balances as trade accounts payable because we believed that our principal vendor had a substantial investment in the floor plan financing company.  During the preparation of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period June 30, 2009, we became aware that the principal vendor had no ownership interest in its floor plan financing company.  Consequently, we are correcting our presentation of the floor plan balances in our Balance Sheets from trade accounts payable to floor plan financing and the related amounts in our Statements of Cash Flows from operating activities to financing activities.  The error affects our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  The correction of the error has no effect on the previously reported statements of operations.  There is no impact to our current liabilities or total liabilities as a result of this reclassification for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008.

 
·
In addition to the aforementioned correction, we are recording certain immaterial adjustments that increase pre-tax expense by $76 for the year ended December 31, 2008, of which $26 was previously recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The adjustments consisted of a pre-tax expense of $50 related to stock option modifications and pre-tax expense of $26 related to the accrual of outside contractor costs.

The effect of the aforementioned corrections on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 as previously filed on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 are more fully described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8.  The “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this Item 7 have been restated to reflect the impact of the aforementioned errors.

Period Comparisons.  The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial data derived from our consolidated statements of operations. Percentages shown in the table below are percentages of total revenue, except for the product and service components of cost of goods sold and gross profit, which are percentages of product and service revenue, respectively.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

Total Revenue.  Total revenue increased by $51,190, or 24.6%, to $259,157 from $207,967. Products revenue increased by $32,814 or 18.2%, to $213,125 from $180,311. The increase in products revenue is primarily due to a full year revenue contribution in 2008 from the Select, Inc. acquisition vs four months in 2007 ($15,937) and growth in our Northwest Region ($10,008) and National Accounts Division ($6,260). Services revenue increased by $18,376 or 66.4% to $46,032 from $27,656. The increase in services revenue is primarily due to higher revenue in our Federal Division ($9,517) from Federal Government subcontracts and significant services revenue increases across substantially all regions.

Gross Profit.  Total gross profit increased by $11,484, or 29.0%, to $51,131 from $39,647. Overall gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 19.7% from 19.1%. Gross profit on product sales increased $6,134, or 19.3%, to $37,881 from $31,747 as a result of increased sales and, as a percentage of product sales, increased to 17.8% from 17.6%. Gross profit on services revenue increased $5,350 or 67.7% to $13,250 from $7,900 as a result of increased sales and gross profit as a percent of services revenue increased to 28.8% from 28.6%.

32

 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $12,632, or 34.9% to $48,784 from $36,152. As a percentage of total revenue, these expenses increased to 18.8% from 17.4%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was due to 2008 fourth quarter charges for bad debt expense of $566, severance costs of $202, lawsuit settlement costs of $140, increased headcount in selling and administrative functions, and higher depreciation and amortization costs primarily due to acquisitions. The severance costs were a result of headcount reductions at December 31, 2008 to better align our cost structure with current market conditions.

Impairment Charge.  The total impairment charge was $13,071 in 2008 compared to zero in 2007. As further discussed in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2008. We concluded that the goodwill of our Access Flow, Inc., Select, Inc., Network Architects, Corp., InfoGroup Northwest, Inc., and Datatran Network Systems acquisitions was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $9,396. Additionally, we record an impairment charges on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. We tested the recoverability of our long-lived assets and concluded the carrying values of intangible assets and property and equipment from the AccessFlow, Inc. and Select, Inc. acquisitions were no longer recoverable. Consequently, during the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded an impairment charge of $3,675 to write the intangibles assets and property and equipment down to their estimated fair values.

Operating (Loss) Income.  Operating income decreased $14,219 to a loss of $10,724 from income of $3,495, primarily due to the $13,071 impairment charge discussed above and other 2008 fourth quarter charges discussed under selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest and Other Expense, net.  Interest and other income, net, decreased $63 to $16 from $79 primarily due to the elimination of borrowings under our senior credit facility in June 2008.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit).  Income tax expense increased by $2,247 to expense of $2,011 from a benefit of $236. The 2008 income tax expense resulted primarily from the recording of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets which was necessary due to the 2008 operating loss. The 2007 income tax benefit resulted from the reversal of the valuation allowance related to the net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary items of $402, partially offset by federal and state income tax expense of $166. The reversal of the valuation allowance was a result of the determination that it was now more likely than not that we would be able to use deferred tax assets to reduce future tax liabilities. This tax benefit was partially offset by federal and state income tax accruals, which included $135 for the Texas Margin Tax initially assessed for 2007.

Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax.  Income from discontinued operations decreased by $46, to income of $37 from income of $83.

Net (Loss) Income.  Net income decreased $16,449 to a net loss of $12,714 from net income of $3,735, primarily due to the impairment charge of $13,071 discussed above, the recording of a deferred tax assets valuation allowance in 2008 and other 2008 fourth quarter charges discussed under selling, general and administrative expenses.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

Total Revenue.  Total revenue increased by $51,954, or 33.3%, to $207,967 from $156,013. Products revenue increased by $44,994 or 33.3%, to $180,311 from $135,317. The increase in products revenue is primarily due to four months revenue contribution of the Select, Inc. acquisition ($12,890) and growth in our Austin location ($11,900), Federal Division ($8,918), Northwest Region ($6,371), and Los Angeles location ($4,264). Services revenue increased by $6,960 or 33.6% to $27,656 from $20,696. The increase in services revenue is primarily due to growth across substantially all locations, four months revenue contribution of the Select, Inc. acquisition, and continued growth of recurring support services revenue.

Gross Profit.  Total gross profit increased by $9,150, or 30.0%, to $39,647 from $30,497. Overall gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 19.1% from 19.5%. Gross profit on product sales increased $6,615, or 26.3%, to $31,747 from $25,132 and, as a percentage of product sales, decreased to 17.6% from 18.6%. Products gross profit percentage decreased due to lower vendor rebates as a percentage of products sales, primarily due to Cisco rebate program changes and proportionately lower vendor rebates earned on products sales by the newly acquired Boston location. Vendor rebates represented 4.0% and 4.7% of products sales in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gross profit on services revenue increased $2,535 or 47.3% to $7,900 from $5,365 and gross profit as a percent of services revenue increased to 28.6% from 25.9%. The increase in services gross margin was the result of improved utilization of engineering staff in 2007 compared to 2006, higher managed services margins increasing to 30.5% in 2007 from 29.1% in 2006, and the positive margin impact of revenue recognized ($520) as a result of early cessation of the implementation portion of a contract with IBM Corporation.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $7,442, or 25.9% to $36,152 from $28,710. As a percentage of total revenue, these expenses decreased to 17.4% from 18.4%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was due to improved leverage resulting from lower expense growth compared to revenue growth. 2007 selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to the sales and administrative costs of the newly acquired Boston location, additional sales compensation costs on substantially higher revenues, increased performance based compensation expense resulting from improved operating results, and higher professional fees due to increased audit fees and Sarbanes-Oxley consulting fees.

33

 
Operating Income.  Operating income increased $1,708 to $3,495 from $1,787, primarily due to product and service revenue increasing 33.3% compared to the 25.9% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), net.  Interest and other income (expense), net, changed by $153 to an expense of $79 from an expense of $232 primarily due to lower average borrowings under our credit facility and increased interest income on the short-term investment of excess cash.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit).  Income tax expense (benefit) changed by $280 to a benefit of $236 from expense of $44. The 2007 income tax benefit resulted from the reversal of the valuation allowance related to the net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary items of $402, partially offset by federal and state income tax expense of $166. The reversal of the valuation allowance was a result of the determination that it was now more likely than not that we would be able to use deferred tax assets to reduce future tax liabilities. This tax benefit was partially offset by federal and state income tax accruals, which included $135 for the Texas Margin Tax initially assessed for 2007.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, net of tax.  Income (loss) from discontinued operations increased by $399, to income of $83 from a loss of $316. Income from discontinued operations of $83 was due to the gain on sale of Valerent of $60, operating income from Valerent and Stratasoft totaling $51, less income tax expense of $28. The loss from discontinued operations of $316 in 2006 consisted of a loss from operations of $1,118, partially offset by the gain on disposal of Stratasoft in January 2006 of $302, a $469 gain from settlement of a lawsuit in the Computer Products Division, and a $31 gain from the sale of Valerent.

Net Income.  Net income increased $2,540 to $3,735 from $1,195, primarily due to product and service revenue increasing more rapidly than increase in selling, general and administrative expenses combined with the income tax benefit of reversing the valuation allowance related to the net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary items and increased income from discontinued operations.

Quarterly Results

The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly financial information for each of our last eight quarters and, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth therein. Our quarterly results may vary significantly depending on factors such as the timing of large customer orders, timing of new product introductions, adequacy of product supply, variations in our product costs, variations in our product mix, promotions, seasonal influences and fluctuations in competitive pricing pressures. The results of any particular quarter may not be indicative of results for the full year or any future period.

As more fully described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8, certain immaterial correcting adjustments were recorded affecting the third and fourth quarters of 2008 which increased pre-tax expense by $50 and $26, respectively.  The third quarter 2008 adjustment was related to stock option modifications and the fourth quarter 2008 adjustment was related to the accrual of outside contractor costs.

Products revenue was consistent through 2008 except for substantially increased sales in the third quarter, primarily due to large projects in our Northwest, National, and North Texas Regions. The increase in services revenue during the first and second quarters of 2008 was primarily due to higher revenue under Federal Government subcontracts and significant services revenue increases across substantially all regions.

The Select, Inc. acquisition was completed in the third quarter of 2007 and contributed revenues of $3,937 and $9,601 in the third and fourth quarters of 2007, respectively. The revenue increase between the first and second quarters of 2007 was primarily a result of increased sales in our Austin, Los Angeles, and Albuquerque locations. The fourth quarter of 2007 reflected the positive margin impact of revenue recognized ($520) as a result of early cessation of the implementation portion of a contract with IBM Corporation.

Our gross profit has fluctuated between quarters primarily due to changes in our revenue mix between products and services revenues and variations in Cisco vendor rebates. The respective timing of when vendor incentives become earned and determinable can create significant quarter to quarter gross margin fluctuations. Services gross profit and gross margin varied primarily based on the level of utilization of billable technical staff and the type of service revenues generated, which can vary from period to period and result in varying levels of gross profit and gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses fluctuate between quarters primarily due to variations in sales compensation directly related to fluctuations in the amount of gross profit and variations in bonus compensation due executives and managers resulting from fluctuations in quarterly profitability. The fourth quarter of 2008 included an $13,071 impairment charge discussed further in Note 4 to consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8, bad debt expense of $566, severance costs of $202, and lawsuit settlement costs of $140. The fourth quarter of 2007 included an adjustment of $167 for the accrual of vacation pay.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We have a number of different revenue sources for which revenue is recognized differently based on the following policies:

Products revenue occurs when products manufactured or otherwise provided by other parties are purchased and resold to a customer and product payment is not contingent upon performance of installation or service obligations. If product acceptance and payment are contingent on installation or service obligations as specified in the customer contract, revenue is not recognized until installation occurs. Revenue is recognized from the sales of hardware when the rights and risks of ownership have passed to the customer and upon shipment or receipt by the customer, depending on the terms of the sales contract with the customer. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue.

We sell hardware maintenance contracts that are serviced and supported solely by a third party, who is the primary obligor of these contracts. There are multiple factors under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent,” or EITF 99-19, but the primary obligor is a strong factor in determining whether we act as a principal or agent and whether gross or net revenue presentation is appropriate. As we have concluded that we are more of an agent in the sale of hardware maintenance contracts, revenue is reported net of the cost of the hardware maintenance contracts from the third party.

For arrangements where the customer agrees to purchase products but we retain possession until the customer requests shipment, or “bill and hold” arrangements, revenue is not recognized until delivery to the customer has occurred and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Software is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and all related interpretations. Revenue from the sales of software not requiring significant modification or customization is recognized upon delivery or installation. Installation services for third party software do not include significant alterations to its features or functionality. Third party software vendors provide all post-contract support for software sold. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

35

 
Technical support services revenue, consisting of remote monitoring and management of customers’ IP telephony and network infrastructure equipment and applications, is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying customer contract. Commission costs paid in advance are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the underlying customer contract.

Revenue for fixed and flat fee services contracts related to customized network and IP telephony solutions are recognized under a proportional performance model utilizing an input based approach (labor hours). Our contracts function similar to a time and materials type contract and generally do not specify or quantify interim deliverables or milestones. Such service contracts encompass the design and installation of IP telephony and computer networks under which customers receive the benefit of services provided over the period of contract performance.

Other service revenue is earned from providing stand-alone services such as billings for engineering and technician time, installation and programming services, which are provided on either an hourly basis or a flat-fee basis, and the service component of maintenance and repair service ticket transactions. These services are contracted for separately from any product sale. Other service revenues are recognized when the service is performed and when collection is reasonably assured. Revenue arrangements generally do not include specific customer acceptance criteria. In instances where final acceptance of the system or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

Arrangements with multiple deliverables are arrangements under which a combination of products and services are provided to customers. Such arrangements are evaluated under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” (“EITF 00-21”), which addresses certain aspects of accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue generating activities. The application of the appropriate accounting guidance requires judgment and is dependent upon the specific transaction and whether the sale includes hardware, software, services or a combination of these items.

We enter into product and service contracts for customers that are generally considered a single arrangement and which include separate units of accounting for product and for service. Product primarily consists of IP telephony and computer network infrastructure components and third party software. Service encompasses the design and installation of IP telephony and computer networks and installation of third party software. Installation services for third party software do not include significant alterations to its features or functionality. All products and services are regularly sold separately. For products and services sold in a single arrangement, the product is typically delivered first and the related services are completed within four to six weeks. Product is shipped, billed, and recognized as revenue independent of services because:

 
The customer is required to pay the product billing in its entirety independent of any services performed.

 
The product has value to the customer on a standalone basis and pricing is comparable whether sold with or without services.

 
The product is standard equipment not significantly altered by installation.

 
Installation of the product can be performed by many other companies.

 
Although there is a general right of return relative to delivered product, delivery of the undelivered items is considered probable and is substantially in our control.

We sell comparable products and services on a standalone basis and under multiple element arrangements at similar prices. Stand alone pricing is vendor-specific objective evidence under EITF 00-21. If objective and reliable evidence exists for the fair value of all items in a multiple element arrangement, we recognize revenue based on the relative fair value of the separate elements. When there is objective and reliable evidence for the fair values of undelivered items but no such evidence exists for the items already delivered, the amount of revenue allocated to the delivered items is computed on the residual method. Customers are not required to and frequently do not select the same vendor for product and service. The customers’ decision does not impact the pricing of the portion of the bid selected.

Contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. Determination that the fee is fixed or determinable is based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. Accruals for estimated sales returns and other allowances and deferrals are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. These provisions are based on contract terms and prior claims experience and involve significant estimates. If these estimates are significantly different from actual results, our revenue could be impacted.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required.

36

 
Credit and collections policy inherent in our revenue recognition policy is the determination of the collectibility of amounts due from our customers, which requires us to use estimates and exercise judgment. We routinely monitor our customer’s payment history and current credit worthiness to determine that collectability is reasonably assured and, then in some instances, require letters of credit in support of contracted amounts.

This requires us to make frequent judgments and estimates in order to determine the appropriate period to recognize a sale to a customer and the amount of valuation allowances required for doubtful accounts. We record provisions for doubtful accounts when it becomes evident that the customer will not be able to make the required payments either at contractual due dates or in the future. Changes in the financial condition of our customers, either adverse or positive, could impact the amount and timing of any additional provision for doubtful accounts that may be required.

Vendor Incentive Recognition

We participate in vendor incentive programs, including a significant vendor incentive program with our primary vendor, Cisco. These incentives are generally earned based on sales volume and customer satisfaction levels. The amounts earned under these programs are accrued when they are deemed probable and can be reasonably measured; otherwise, they are recorded when they are declared by the vendor or the cash is received, whichever is earlier. As a result of these estimates, the amount of rebates declared by the vendor, or the amount of rebates received in cash, the effect of vendor incentives on cost of goods can vary significantly between quarterly and annual reporting periods. Failure to achieve the requirements set by the vendor to earn a particular incentive could result in us not receiving a vendor incentive and result in lower gross margin on our product sales revenue. The incentives are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods. Selling, general and administrative expenses are increased for any associated commission expense and payroll tax related to the incentives.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We account for share-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for share-based payment awards. In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”) to extend the use of “simplified method” for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee stock options for award valuation. The method was initially allowed under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) in contemplation of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) to expense the compensation cost based on the grant date fair value of the award. SAB 110 does not provide an expiration date for the use of the method. However, as more external information about exercise behavior will be available over time, it is expected that this method will not be used when more relevant guidance is available.

SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to be recognized in the results of operations at their grant-date fair values. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of our 2006 fiscal year. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective method of adoption, our results of operations and financial position for prior periods have not been restated.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award. The fair value of options granted during the 2008, 2007 and 2006 periods were calculated using the following estimated weighted average assumptions:

 
2008
2007
2006    
Expected volatility
61.1%
60.3%
63.1%
Expected term (in years)
6.5
6.5
6.3
Risk-free interest rate
2.8%
4.4%
4.7%
Expected dividend yield
0%
0%
0%

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility over the period our current operations represented our primary line of business. We use the simplified method outlined in SAB 110 to estimate expected lives for options granted during the period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected term assumption. We have not historically issued any dividends and do not expect to in the future.

We use the straight-line attribution method to recognize expense for unvested options. The amount of share-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We will re-evaluate the forfeiture rate annually and adjust it as necessary, and the adjustments could be material.

Goodwill

We test our recorded goodwill annually for impairment as of the end of our fiscal year as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets (“SFAS 142”). Circumstances that could trigger an interim impairment test include but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; loss of key personnel; the likelihood that a reporting unit or significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed; or results of testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit.

37

 
The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process.  Step 1 of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill against the carrying value of that goodwill.  In performing the first step of the impairment test, we reconcile the aggregate estimated fair value of our reporting units to our market capitalization (together with an implied control premium).
 
SFAS 142 requires the testing of goodwill for impairment be performed at a level referred to as a reporting unit. We currently have twelve reporting units based primarily on our geographical regions, of which eleven reporting units have goodwill assigned.  Goodwill is assigned based on (1) goodwill incurred in the purchase of the reporting unit and (2) goodwill allocated to reporting units existing at the time of an acquisition and directly benefiting from the business combination.

To estimate the fair value of our reporting units, we use the income approach and the market approach.  Once the fair value of each reporting unit is determined under each valuation method, we apply a weighting of 90% to the income approach and 10% to the market approach. We place greater reliance on the income approach because we believe the discounted cash flow projections are a more reliable methodology.

The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow analysis (“DCF”) and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Assumptions used in the DCF require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows are based on our most recent budget and for years beyond the budget, the estimates are based on assumed growth rates. We believe the assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying businesses. The discount rates, which are intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections, used in the DCF are based on estimates of the weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) of a market participant relative to each respective reporting unit. Such estimates are derived from our analysis of peer companies and considered the industry weighted average return on debt and equity from a market participant perspective for its reporting units.  Specific assumptions used were as follows:
 
 
December 31, 2008
 
December 31, 2007
Weighted average cost of capital
28.4 - 28.7%
 
21.7 – 25.1%
Compound annual revenue growth rate for five years
(9.9) - 32.7%
 
13.8 – 22.1%
Terminal year stable growth rate
3.5 – 4.0%
 
4.0%

The market approach considers comparable market data based on multiples of revenue, gross profit, earnings before taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and net income. We believe the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our respective reporting units are reasonable. If different assumptions were used, particularly with respect to forecasted cash flows, WACCs, or market multiples, different estimates of fair value may result and there could be the potential that an impairment charge could result. Actual operating results and the related cash flows of the reporting units could differ from the estimated operating results and related cash flows. The valuation multiples calculated were as follows, where MVIC represents the market value of invested capital (market capitalization plus interest bearing debt):
 
 
December 31, 2008
 
December 31, 2007
MVIC/Revenues
0.17x
 
N/A
MVIC/Gross profit
0.83x
 
1.1x
MVIC/EBITDA
4.75x
 
12.5x
Market cap/Net income
10.23x
 
16.2x

The 2008 impairment charges for the reporting units are primarily attributable to the assumption of higher discount rates and lower projected future cash flows as compared to those used in the annual impairment test performed in 2007. The higher discount rates for the three reporting units, which ranged from 28.4% to 28.7% compared to 21.7% to 25.1% used the previous year, reflect an increase in the risks inherent in the estimated future cash flows and the higher rate of return a market participant would require based on the current macro-economic environment.

As of December 31, 2008, the North Texas, Central Texas, Federal, and National reporting units with goodwill totaling $1,940, had estimated fair values exceeding their carrying values by a minimum of 70 percent. The Southwest, Gulf Coast, and Southern California reporting units with goodwill totaling $4,323, had estimated fair values exceeding their carrying values by 9 to 15 percent. The NetTeks and VocalMash reporting units with goodwill totaling $504 had carrying values that approximated fair value as these reporting units were recently acquired. Lastly ,the Northwest, New England, and Northern California reporting units with goodwill totaling $5,983, had estimated fair values which approximated their carrying values as a result of the impairment charge recorded at December 31, 2008.  During 2009 the National reporting unit was merged into the Gulf Coast reporting unit and the NetTeks reporting unit was merged into the New England reporting unit.
 
38

 
With the exception of potential regional economic differences, the fair value of all of our reporting units are primarily affected by the forecasted demand and spending on technology products in our principal markets which are:  network infrastructure, unified communications and data center products and services.  Some of the inherent assumptions and estimates used in determining the estimated fair value of these reporting units are outside the control of management, including interest rates, cost of capital, and tax rates.  It is possible that changes in circumstances, existing at the measurement date or at other times in the future, or in the numerous estimates associated with management’s judgments, assumptions and estimates made in assessing the fair value of our goodwill, may result in an impairment charge of a portion or all of the goodwill amounts previously noted.  If we record an impairment charge, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected.

For illustrative purposes, had the December 31, 2008 fair values of each reporting unit been lower by 10%, an additional goodwill impairment charge of $2,108 would have been recorded. Our goodwill balance was $12,751 as of December 31, 2008 and $16,603 at December 31, 2007.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We record impairment losses on long-lived assets, such as amortizable intangible assets and property and equipment, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.  Evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment is performed at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.  Our asset group level corresponds to the same level as the reporting units used in our goodwill impairment testing.

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 (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. In 2008, we eliminated borrowings under the interest-bearing portion of our Credit Facility. Our working capital increased to $14,173 at December 31, 2008 from $9,833 at December 31, 2007 as a result of improved operating results excluding noncash charges and the registered direct offering discussed below.

To give us greater flexibility to efficiently raise capital and put us in a position to take advantage of favorable market conditions as they arise, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for primary offerings of securities. The shelf registration provides the ability to offer and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, shares of our common stock and/or warrants to purchase common stock for proceeds in the aggregate amount up to $100 million. The terms of any offering under this registration statement will be established at the time of the offering and will be stated in a prospectus supplement if and when we decide to sell securities under the shelf registration statement. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from any offering under the shelf registration statement for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and to fund the acquisition of companies, businesses, technologies, products or assets, as set forth in the registration statement. In June, 2008, we sold 900,000 shares of common stock through a registered direct offering to certain institutional investors at a price of $11.00 per share. The net cash proceeds, after deducting the placement agent’s fee and other offering expenses of $1,149, were approximately $8,751. The net cash proceeds were partially used to repay the $6,000 outstanding balance under the Acquisition Facility, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes including possible future acquisitions.

Accounts Receivable.  The timing of our collection of accounts receivable is a significant influence on our cash flow from operations. We typically sell our products and services on short-term credit terms. We try to minimize our credit risk by performing credit checks, obtaining letters of credit in certain instances, and conducting our own collection efforts. Our accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $52,866 and $45,128 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable was attributable to significantly higher sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 partially offset by improved collections.

Inventory.  We had inventory of $2,406 and $1,439 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The higher level of 2008 inventory is attributable to customer orders to be shipped in the first quarter of 2009. We try to minimize the amount of inventory on hand to reduce the risk that the inventory will become obsolete or decline in value. We are able to do this by relying on the ready availability of products from our principal suppliers. As noted above, we rely principally on our Credit Facility to finance our inventory purchases.

39

 
Accounts Payable and Floor Plan Financing.  We rely on our Credit Facility to finance a substantial portion of our inventory purchases under terms ranging from 30 to 60 days. Credit Facility balances within terms are non-interest bearing and classified as floor plan financing in our balance sheet. Credit Facility balances outstanding in excess of terms are interest bearing and classified as notes payable in our balance sheet, of which there was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2008.  The total of accounts payable and floor plan financing were $45,172 and $37,186 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase was attributable to significantly increased purchases directly related to increased sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to 2007.

Credit Facility.  On June 3, 2008, the Company amended its senior credit facility agreement (“Agreement”) with Castle Pines Capital LLC (“CPC”) which provides inventory financing and working capital funding. Key terms of the Agreement are summarized as follows:

 
The Agreement provides a discretionary line of credit up to a maximum aggregate amount of $60,000 to purchase inventory from CPC approved vendors.

 
The Agreement provides a working capital revolving line of credit under the above line of credit with an aggregate outstanding sublimit of $10,000.

 
The working capital revolving line of credit incurs interest payable monthly at the rate of prime plus 0.5%.

 
The Agreement contains customary covenants regarding maintenance of insurance coverage, maintenance of and reporting collateral, and submission of financial statements. The Agreement also contains covenants measured as of the end of each calendar quarter covering required maintenance of minimum current ratio, tangible net worth, working capital, and total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio (all as defined in the Agreement, as amended).

 
The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company.

 
The term of the Agreement is for one year, with automatic renewals for one year periods, except as otherwise provided under the Agreement.

The senior credit facility also provides an additional $10,000 credit facility specifically for acquisitions (“Acquisition Facility”). Key terms of the Amendment are summarized as follows:

 
$10,000 maximum aggregate commitment for acquisitions.

 
Advances under the Acquisition Facility are not to exceed 80% of purchase price or six times adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Amendment, for the twelve months immediately preceding the acquisition closing date.

 
Interest is payable at the rate of prime plus 2%.

 
An acquisition commitment fee of 1% of the advance amount is payable with one-eighth paid at closing and seven-eighths paid with each loan funding.

 
Repayment of each advance under the Acquisition Facility is interest only for first year then amortizing for 36 to 48 months, to be determined for each advance, with no penalty to prepay any principal balance. The loan will also be reduced annually by an amount equal to 25% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Amendment, beginning December 31, 2008.

 
CPC may negotiate with the Company to revise existing financial covenants in conjunction with each advance as required.

 
Termination date of the senior credit facility was extended to August 1, 2009, subject to automatic renewal as defined in the Amendment.

As of December 31, 2008, borrowing capacity and availability under the Credit Facility was as follows:

Total Credit Facility
  $ 60,000  
Borrowing base limitation
    (16,873 )
Total borrowing capacity
    43,127  
Less interest-bearing borrowings
     
Less non-interest bearing advances
    (40,002 )
Total unused availability
  $ 3,125  

40

 
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 floor plan financing 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, for which there was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2008. These extended payment balances under the Credit Facility accrue interest at the prime rate (3.25% at December 31, 2008) plus 0.5%.

As defined in the Credit Facility there are restrictive covenants that are measured at each quarter and year end. The covenants effective June 3, 2008, require us to:

 
maintain Minimum Tangible Net Worth of $8.0 million;

 
maintain a maximum Debt to Tangible Net Worth ratio of 7.0 to 1;

 
maintain Minimum Working Capital of not less than $6.5 million; and

 
maintain a Current Ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.0.

At December 31, 2008, 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 2008, our cash increased by $1,597. Operating activities used $1,209, investing activities used $6,321 and financing activities provided $9,127.

Operating Activities.  Operating activities used $1,209 in 2008 as compared to providing $3,544 in 2007 and using cash of $16,688 in 2006. Adjustments for non-cash-related items in 2008 of $17,463 including $13,071 from an impairment charge, $2,667 from depreciation and amortization and $1,615 from share-based compensation, and deferred income tax expense of $535, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock option exercises of $1,107. Changes in asset and liability accounts used $5,976. The most significant use was accounts receivable which used $8,279 due to increased sales.

Investing Activities.  Investing activities used $6,321 in 2008 compared to the use of $5,584 in 2007 and $2,606 in 2006. Investing activities related to cash paid for acquisitions were $4,062 in 2008, $4,011 in 2007, and $2,177 in 2006. Our investing activities related to capital expenditures in all three years were primarily related to purchases of computer equipment and software, and to a lesser degree, leasehold improvements. Discontinued operations provided cash from investing activities in 2006 of $1,492 as a result of the sales of Stratasoft and Valerent.

Financing Activities.  Financing activities provided $9,127 in 2008 compared to providing $9,585 in 2007 and providing $18,492 in 2006. Financing activities in 2008 included common stock issued through a registered direct offering ($8,751), the proceeds of which were partially used to repay the 2007 borrowings for the Select, Inc. acquisition ($6,000). Net borrowings under floor plan financing provided cash of $7,530 in 2008, $6,481 in 2007, and $15,978 in 2006.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility used cash of $4,350 in 2007 and provided cash of $1,886 in 2006. There were no borrowings in 2008. Stock option holders exercised stock options, which provided cash of $831, $1,449, and $613 in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2008, the FASB issued 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. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and anticipates any impact to basic earnings per share will be immaterial.

In April 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position on SFAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of this standard will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 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. The Company does anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a future impact on the way in which business combinations will be accounted for compared to current practice. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted.

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 implementation of this standard is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting SFAS 157 with respect to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities on its consolidated financial statements. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We attempt to manage our borrowings under our senior credit facility (“Senior Facility”) and under our acquisition facility (“Acquisition Facility”) with Castle Pines Capital LLC to minimize interest expense. The interest rate of the Senior Facility is the prime rate plus 0.5% and the interest rate of the Acquisition Facility is the prime rate plus 2.0% (see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources”). During the year ended December 31, 2008, there were no borrowings under the Senior Facility and the interest rates of borrowings under the Acquisition Facility ranged from 5.5% to 7.75%. A one percent change in variable interest rates will not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
INX Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of INX Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of INX Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated balance sheets for 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated cash flow statements for 2008, 2007 and 2006 have been restated to reflect floor plan borrowing and repayments as financing cash flows.  The consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 has also been restated to record two immaterial adjustments.

INX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006
(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.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation — During 2006, the Company sold the Stratasoft subsidiary and Valerent operations as further discussed in Note 5. The Stratasoft and Valerent results of operations and cash flows are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Although continuing operations are described in this report in terms of the products sold and the services provided, the base of customers and the geographic areas in which it operates, the Company has concluded that its operations comprise one reportable segment pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 — Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. In making this determination, the Company considered that each reporting unit has similar characteristics and long-term prospects, includes similar services, has similar types of customers and is subject to the same regulatory environment.

Certain prior period amounts in the balance sheet presented herein have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. $250 in long-term rent has been reclassified from current liabilities to other long-term liabilities at December 31, 2007.

Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of INX Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable — Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, are non-interest bearing and are recorded net of reserves for sales returns and allowances and an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and generally does not require collateral or other security. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, in some instances, requires letters of credit or additional guarantees in support of contracted amounts. Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on a current review of the collectability of the accounts and using a systematic approach based on historical collections and age of the amounts due. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accruals for estimated sales returns and other allowances and deferrals are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. These provisions are based on contract terms and prior claims experience and involve significant estimates.

Inventory — Inventory consists primarily of Cisco network equipment, computer equipment and components and is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the first-in first-out method. Substantially all inventory is finished goods. Reserves to reduce inventory to market value are based on current inventory levels, historical usage and product life cycles.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred, while expenditures for betterments are capitalized. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations in the year of disposal.

50

 
Goodwill — Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair values assigned to the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to periodic testing for impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate goodwill carrying values exceed estimated reporting unit fair values.

The annual goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process as follows:

Step 1.  The Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the existing goodwill. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation analysis. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by specifically identifying and allocating the assets and liabilities to each reporting unit based on headcount, relative revenues, or other methods as deemed appropriate by management. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired and the Company then performs the second step of the impairment test. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further analysis is required.

Step 2.  If further analysis is required, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and its liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Goodwill is written down when impaired. Based on the impairment tests performed, the Company determined there was impairment of goodwill in 2008 resulting in an impairment charge as further discussed in Note 4. There was no impairment of goodwill in 2007 or 2006.

Intangible Assets — Intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of one to five years (see Note 7).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations other than goodwill when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Based on the impairment tests performed, the Company determined there was impairment of long-lived assets in 2008 resulting in an impairment charge as further discussed in Note 4. There was no impairment of long-lived assets in 2007 or 2006.

Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, which requires, among other things, recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and the recognition of available tax carryforwards. The tax provision allocated to discontinued operations is based on the incremental tax effect after computing the tax provision on continuing operations. It is the company’s policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities

Use of Estimates — The preparation of the 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 amount of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition — INX recognizes revenue as follows:

Products revenue occurs when products manufactured or otherwise provided by other parties are purchased and resold to a customer and product payment is not contingent upon performance of installation or service obligations. If product acceptance and payment are contingent on installation or service obligations as specified in the customer contract, revenue is not recognized until installation occurs. Revenue is recognized from the sales of hardware when the rights and risks of ownership have passed to the customer and upon shipment or receipt by the customer, depending on the terms of the sales contract with the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue.

51

 
The Company sells hardware maintenance contracts that are serviced and supported solely by a third party, who is the primary obligor of these contracts. There are multiple factors under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent,” or EITF 99-19, but the primary obligor is a strong factor in determining whether the Company acts as a principal or agent and whether gross or net revenue presentation is appropriate. As the Company has concluded that it is more of an agent in the sale of hardware maintenance contracts, revenue is reported by the Company net of the cost of the hardware maintenance contract from the third party.

For arrangements where the customer agrees to purchase products, but we retain possession until the customer requests shipment, or “bill and hold” arrangements, revenue is not recognized until delivery to the customer has occurred and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Software is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and all related interpretations. Revenue from the sales of software not requiring significant modification or customization is recognized upon delivery or installation. Installation services for third party software do not include significant alterations to its features or functionality. Third party software vendors provide all post-contract support for software sold by the Company. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Technical support services revenue, consisting of remote monitoring and management of customers’ IP telephony and network infrastructure equipment and applications, is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying customer contract. Commission costs paid in advance are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the underlying customer contract.

Revenue for fixed and flat fee services contracts related to customized network and IP telephony solutions are recognized under a proportional performance model utilizing an input based approach (labor hours). The Company’s contracts function similar to a time and materials type contract and generally do not specify or quantify interim deliverables or milestones. Such service contracts encompass the design and installation of IP telephony and computer networks under which customers receive the benefit of services provided over the period of contract performance.

Other service revenue is earned from providing stand-alone services such as billings for engineering and technician time, installation and programming services, which are provided on either an hourly basis or a flat-fee basis, and the service component of maintenance and repair service ticket transactions. These services are contracted for separately from any product sale. Other service revenues are recognized when the service is performed and when collection is reasonably assured. Revenue arrangements generally do not include specific customer acceptance criteria. In instances where final acceptance of the system or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

Arrangements with multiple deliverables are arrangements under which a combination of products and services are provided to customers. Such arrangements are evaluated under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” (“EITF 00-21”), which addresses certain aspects of accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue generating activities. The application of the appropriate accounting guidance requires judgment and is dependent upon the specific transaction and whether the sale includes hardware, software, services or a combination of these items.

The Company enters into product and service contracts for customers that are generally considered a single arrangement and which include separate units of accounting for product and for service. Product primarily consists of IP telephony and computer network infrastructure components and third party software. Service encompasses the design and installation of IP telephony and computer networks and installation of third party software. Installation services for third party software do not include significant alterations to its features or functionality. All products and services are regularly sold separately. For products and services sold in a single arrangement, the product is typically delivered first and the related services are completed within four to six weeks. Product is shipped, billed, and recognized as revenue independent of services because:

 
The customer is required to pay the product billing in its entirety independent of any services performed.

 
The product has value to the customer on a standalone basis and pricing is comparable whether sold with or without services.

 
The product is standard equipment not significantly altered by installation.

 
Installation of the product can be performed by many other companies.

 
Although there is a general right of return relative to delivered product, delivery of the undelivered items is considered probable and is substantially in the control of the Company.

52

 
Comparable products and services are sold on a standalone basis and under multiple element arrangements at similar prices. Stand alone pricing is vendor-specific objective evidence under EITF 00-21. If objective and reliable evidence exists for the fair value of all items in a multiple element arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue based on the relative fair value of the separate elements. When there is objective and reliable evidence for the fair values of undelivered items, but no such evidence exists for the items already delivered, the amount of revenue allocated to the delivered items is computed on the residual method. Customers are not required to and frequently do not select the same vendor for product and service. The customers’ decision does not impact the pricing of the portion of the bid selected.

Contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. Determination that the fee is fixed or determinable is based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.

The Company records taxes applicable under EITF No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” on a net basis. Collectability is assessed based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history. Accruals for estimated sales returns and other allowances and deferrals are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. These provisions are based on contract terms and prior claims experience and involve significant estimates. If these estimates are significantly different from actual results, our revenue could be impacted.

Vendor Incentives — INX participates in a vendor incentive program under which incentives are principally earned by sales volume, sales growth and customer satisfaction levels. The amounts earned under these programs are accrued when they are deemed probable and can be reasonably measured; otherwise, they are recorded when they are declared by the vendor or the cash is received, whichever is earlier. As a result of these estimates, the amount of rebates declared by the vendor, or the amount of rebates received in cash, the effect of vendor incentives on cost of goods can vary significantly between quarterly and annual reporting periods. The incentives are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods and services. Selling, general and administrative expenses are increased for any associated commission expense and payroll tax related to the incentives. The Company recognized vendor incentives of $10,118, $7,200 and $6,303 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Accounts receivable from vendors of $3,201 and $2,851 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are reported under “Accounts receivable — trade” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Advertising Costs — Advertising costs consist of print advertising and trade show materials and are expensed as incurred.

Research and Development Costs — Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred and consist primarily of compensation costs, outside services, and expensed materials. The Company incurred research and development expenditures of $289 in 2006. No research and development expenditures were incurred in 2007 or 2008.

Share-Based Compensation — The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for share-based payment awards. In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”) to extend the use of “simplified method” for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee stock options for award valuation. The method was initially allowed under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) in contemplation of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) to expense the compensation cost based on the grant date fair value of the award. SAB 110 does not provide an expiration date for the use of the method. However, as more external information about exercise behavior will be available over time, it is expected that this method will not be used when more relevant guidance is available.

SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to be recognized in the results of operations at their grant-date fair values. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s 2006 fiscal year. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective method of adoption, the Company’s results of operations and financial position for prior periods have not been restated.

53

 
Earnings Per Share — Basic net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income per share is computed based upon the weighted- average number of common shares plus the assumed issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method (See Note 8).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — INX’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable for which the carrying values approximate fair values given the short-term maturity of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt instruments approximate their fair value based on estimates of rates offered to the Company for instruments with the same maturity dates and security structures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2008, the FASB issued 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. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and anticipates any impact to basic earnings per share will be immaterial.

In April 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position on SFAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets .  The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of this standard will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 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. The Company does anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a future impact on the way in which business combinations will be accounted for compared to current practice. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted.

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 implementation of this standard is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting SFAS 157 with respect to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities on its consolidated financial statements. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.  Acquisitions

The Company completed three acquisitions in 2008, one acquisition in 2007, and one acquisition in 2006. The acquisitions were consummated to improve the Company’s geographical presence and enhance its technical capabilities.

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 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. The common stock was valued at $13.06 per share or $3,430. The number of common stock shares issued was determined by dividing $2,627 by the lesser of (i) the average closing price per share for the common stock, as reported by Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending prior to the second day before June 6, 2008, which was $12.96 per share or (ii) $10.00 per share. 24,000 shares of the stock consideration were placed in escrow under holdback provisions defined in the APA. The two shareholders of AccessFlow entered into five-year noncompete agreements at closing, which provide for payments to each in the aggregate amount of $50 in equal monthly installments of approximately $8 each per month over the six month period subsequent to closing. Broker costs and professional fees of $346 were incurred in the purchase, of which $174 was paid in cash, $16 accrued, and $156 was paid through the issuance of 11,935 shares of 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 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.

The three shareholders of NetTeks entered into five-year noncompete agreements at closing for a lump sum payment to each in the aggregate amount of $90. Professional fees of $51 were paid in connection with the purchase.

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.

Additional purchase consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

Select, Inc.

Under a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2007 (the “SPA”), the Company purchased all issued and outstanding capital stock of Select, Inc. (“Select”). Located in Boston, Massachusetts, Select is a Cisco-centric solutions provider focused on delivering IP Telephony, IP Storage and network infrastructure solutions throughout New England with approximately $40,000 in annual revenues. The Company completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the SPA.

The President and major shareholder of Select entered into a five-year noncompete agreement at closing providing for equal monthly payments of $21 over two years, which were recorded at their present value of $450. Cash of $6,000 was borrowed from the Acquisition Facility under the Credit Agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC.

Broker costs and professional fees of $512 were incurred in the purchase, of which $388 was paid in cash and $124 was paid through the issuance of 11,598 shares of common stock.

Additional purchase consideration may be payable based on the Select branch office revenue and operating profit during the two years subsequent to the date of the SPA. For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2008, the revenue and operating profit contribution was less than the minimum required under the SPA resulting in no additional purchase consideration due the Shareholders. For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2009, if revenue is greater than $53,000 and operating profit contribution is greater than or equal to $3,710, then the Company shall pay the Shareholders additional purchase consideration of $600 and will pay an additional $50 for each $150 of operating profit contribution in excess of $3,710 up to a maximum of $600 with an aggregate maximum of $1,200 in additional purchase consideration. At the Company’s option, 50% of such additional purchase price may be paid in the form of Common Stock. Additional purchase price consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

Certain amounts of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets and property and equipment were determined to impaired during the fourth quarter of 2008 as discussed in Note 4.

4.  Impairment Charge

As of December 31 each year, the Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Based on a discounted cash flow analysis, the sharp decline in the Company’s market capitalization beginning in November 2008, and the rapidly deteriorating macroeconomic environment in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company concluded that the goodwill of its Access Flow, Inc., Select, Inc., Datatran Network Systems, InfoGroup Northwest, Inc., and Network Architects, Corp. acquisitions was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $9,396 in the fourth quarter of 2008.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company records impairment charges on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. Assets are considered impaired when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets and the net book value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value. In connection with the triggering events discussed in the preceding paragraph, the Company tested the recoverability of its long-lived assets and concluded the carrying values of intangible assets and property and equipment from the AccessFlow, Inc. and Select, Inc. acquisitions were no longer recoverable. Consequently, during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3,328 and $347 to write the intangibles assets and property and equipment, respectively, down to their estimated fair values.

5.  Discontinued Operations

Telecom and Computer Products Divisions

Prior to 2004, INX sold a computer products reselling business, PBX telephone systems dealer business, and the Telecom Systems division. During 2005, the Company resolved the collectability of certain accounts receivable of these operations. In 2006, the Company settled a lawsuit for $100 filed in August 2002, by Inacom Corp. claiming INX owed the sum of approximately $570. The excess accrual of $469 was reflected in the gain on disposal of discontinued operations detailed below.

Stratasoft and Valerent Subsidiaries

On November 3, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell its Stratasoft subsidiary and Valerent operations. This action was taken due to continuing losses at Stratasoft and the decision to build value with a focused strategy in the operations at INX. Under a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) dated January 26, 2006, INX sold all outstanding shares of Stratasoft’s common stock for a pretax gain on disposal of $302. Key terms of the sale are summarized as follows:

58

 
 
All outstanding Stratasoft common stock was sold for a purchase price of $3,000, which has been or is subject to reduction as follows:

 
$800 placed in escrow, which is available to satisfy indemnified losses, if any, as defined in the Agreement. Funds placed in escrow are excluded from the estimated gain stated above. Approximately $778 in indemnified losses, net of interest earned, have been paid or presented for payment as of December 31, 2008.

 
$221 representing a preliminary net working capital adjustment, as defined. The final working capital adjustment recorded during June 2006 resulted in the further reduction of the sale proceeds of $40.

 
The Company indemnified the buyer for potential losses as defined in the Agreement to a maximum of $1,400, inclusive of amounts placed in escrow. Excess funds held in escrow were scheduled to be released on January 26, 2008. However, certain potential third-party claims remain outstanding, including the Schneider Rucinski lawsuit discussed further in Note 15. As provided in the Agreement, funds of $22 held in escrow at December 31, 2008 will not be released until such claims are resolved.

 
The Agreement provided for additional consideration to the Company if either of the following conditions were met: (1) Stratasoft revenue exceeds $10,000 for any consecutive twelve month period within two years of closing or (2) Stratasoft is sold by the buyer to another party prior to January 26, 2008, for an amount in excess of $15,000. Neither condition was met; therefore, no consideration is due the Company.

Transaction costs of $815 were incurred by the Company in connection with the transaction, including the $128 value of warrants issued to the investment banker for the transaction for 40,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $6 per share. The warrants expire on January 26, 2011. Additional costs of $134 were recorded as a reduction of the gain on sale for space leased by INX that will not be subleased to Stratasoft in the future.

The sale of Valerent operations involved two separate transactions which were closed in October 2006. The managed services business and related inventory, property and equipment were sold to OuterNet Management, L.P. for a cash sales price of $185. The consulting business and related property and equipment were sold to Vicano Acquisition Corp., a company owned by Valerent’s former president and brother-in-law of our CEO and largest shareholder. The consulting business was sold for cash paid at closing of $50 and a $70 promissory note payable in twenty-four monthly installments of $3 plus interest of 10%. All installments of the promissory note were paid as scheduled and the gain recognized as payments were received. Additional consideration of $26 was earned for each of the first and second earnout periods ended October 12, 2007 and October 12, 2008, respectively.

8.  Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period and the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants less the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds using the average market price of the Company’s common stock for each of the periods presented.

Denominator for diluted earnings per share — weighted-average shares outstanding
    8,133,165       8,027,286       7,293,737  

For 2007 and 2006, we did not include 625,000 warrants and for 2008 we did not include 11,896 warrants to purchase common stock in determination of the dilutive shares since they are antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 no options were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings. Options to purchase 558,347 shares for the year ended December 31, 2008 were not used in the calculation of diluted earnings since the effect of potentially dilutive securities in computing a loss per share is antidilutive.

9.  Notes Payable

Notes payable on the accompanying balance sheets consist of the following:

   
December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Revolving acquisition credit facility bearing interest of prime plus 2.0%
  $     $ 6,000  
Notes payable bearing interest of 4.80% payable monthly due September 2009
    91       200  
Total, all due within 12 months
  $ 91     $ 6,200  

On June 3, 2008, the Company amended its senior credit facility agreement (“Agreement”) with Castle Pines Capital LLC (“CPC”) which provides inventory financing and working capital funding. Key terms of the Agreement are summarized as follows:

 
The Agreement provides a discretionary line of credit up to a maximum aggregate amount of $60,000 to purchase inventory from CPC approved vendors.

 
The Agreement provides a working capital revolving line of credit under the above line of credit with an aggregate outstanding sublimit of $10,000.

 
The working capital revolving line of credit incurs interest payable monthly at the rate of prime plus 0.5%.

 
The Agreement contains customary covenants regarding maintenance of insurance coverage, maintenance of and reporting collateral, and submission of financial statements. The Agreement also contains covenants measured as of the end of each calendar quarter covering required maintenance of minimum current ratio, tangible net worth, working capital, and total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio (all as defined in the Agreement, as amended).

 
The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company.

 
The term of the Agreement is for one year, with automatic renewals for one year periods, except as otherwise provided under the Agreement.

61

 
The senior credit facility also provides an additional $10,000 credit facility specifically for acquisitions (“Acquisition Facility”). Key terms of the Amendment are summarized as follows:

 
$10,000 maximum aggregate commitment for acquisitions.

 
Advances under the Acquisition Facility are not to exceed 80% of purchase price or six times adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Amendment, for the twelve months immediately preceding the acquisition closing date.

 
Interest is payable at the rate of prime plus 2%.

 
An acquisition commitment fee of 1% of the advance amount is payable with one-eighth paid at closing and seven-eighths paid with each loan funding.

 
Repayment of each advance under the Acquisition Facility is interest only for first year then amortizing for 36 to 48 months, to be determined for each advance, with no penalty to prepay any principal balance. The loan will also be reduced annually by an amount equal to 25% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Amendment, beginning December 31, 2008.

 
CPC may negotiate with the Company to revise existing financial covenants in conjunction with each advance as required.

 
Termination date of the senior credit facility was extended to August 1, 2009, subject to automatic renewal as defined in the Amendment.

Inventory floor plan borrowings are reflected in floor plan financing in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and no amounts are interest bearing in either consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Borrowings accrue interest at the prime rate (3.25% at December 31, 2008) plus 0.5% on outstanding balances that extend beyond the vendor approved free interest period. At December 31, 2008, INX was in compliance with the loan covenants effective at that date and anticipates that it will be able to comply with its loan covenants for the next twelve months. In the event INX does not maintain compliance, it would be required to seek waivers from CPC for those events, which, if not obtained, could accelerate repayment and require INX to seek other sources of financing. At December 31, 2008, INX had $40,002 outstanding on inventory floor plan finance borrowings, and the unused availability was $3,125.

The weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under all credit line arrangements in effect during 2008, 2007 and 2006 was 7.5%, 9.4% and 8.5%, respectively. The average amount of borrowings under all credit line arrangements in effect during 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $3,000, $3,180 and $3,004 respectively.

  $     $ 535  

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 taxable 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, after giving consideration to the impairment charge, we established a full valuation allowance against the related deferred tax asset and all other temporary items totaling $4,031 as we determined it was more like than not that the assets would not be used to reduce future tax liabilities. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reversed the valuation allowance related to the net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary items as the Company determined it was more likely than not that it would be able to use the assets to reduce future tax liabilities. The reversal resulted in recognition of an income tax benefit of $535 in 2007 and a corresponding increase in the deferred tax asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At December 31, 2008, INX has a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward for federal income tax return purposes of 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, INX may not be able to take full advantage of its NOL carryforward for federal income tax purposes. The carryforward will expire during the period 2023 through 2027 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), the Company recognizes 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 December 31, 2008, windfall tax benefits included in NOL carryforward but not reflected in deferred tax assets are $2,540.

11.  Adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company and its subsidiary file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and several states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. The Company is currently not undergoing an income tax examination in any jurisdiction. The Company has not recorded a FIN 48 liability as of January 1, 2007, the date of adoption.

There were no interest or penalties recorded for unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. There were no interest or penalties accrued in the consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

12.  Stockholders’ Equity

Registered Direct Offering

In June, 2008, the Company sold 900,000 shares of common stock through a registered direct offering to certain institutional investors at a price of $11.00 per share. The net cash proceeds, after deducting the placement agent’s fee and other offering expenses of $1,149, were approximately $8,751. The net cash proceeds were partially used to repay the $6,000 outstanding balance under the Acquisition Facility, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes including possible future acquisitions.

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company currently grants stock options under the following equity compensation plans:

1996 Incentive Stock Plan and the 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan — The 1996 Incentive Stock Plan (the “1996 Incentive Plan”) and the 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) were approved by the shareholders and no further shares may be granted under either plan. The 1996 Incentive Plan provided for the granting of incentive awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, phantom stock, stock bonuses and cash bonuses in accordance with the provisions of the plan. The Director Plan provided for a one-time option by newly elected directors to purchase up to 5,000 common shares, after which each director was entitled to receive an option to purchase up to 5,000 common shares upon each date of re-election to INX’s Board of Directors. Options granted under the Director Plan and the 1996 Incentive Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, are fully vested at December 31, 2007, and generally expire ten years after the grant date.

2000 Stock Incentive Plan — INX adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Incentive Plan”) as approved at the May 2000 annual shareholder’s meeting. At the May 13, 2008 shareholder’s meeting the 2000 Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock available for stock option grants to 3,073,103. The 2000 Incentive Plan provides for the granting of incentive awards in the form of stock-based awards and cash bonuses in accordance with the provisions of the plan. All employees, including officers, and consultants and non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2000 Incentive Plan. Generally, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the exercise price of each stock option under the 2000 Incentive Plan, and they expire within ten years of the grant date, except those classified as Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”) grants to a 10% or greater stockholder. ISO grants to a 10% or greater stockholder expire within five years of the grant date. The exercise price of each ISO grant may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant (110% in the case of a 10% or greater stockholder). Options granted under the 2000 Incentive Plan are subject to either cliff or graded vesting, generally ranging from three to ten years. At December 31, 2008, 125,780 shares were available for future option grants under the 2000 Incentive Plan.

Grant-Date Fair Value

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award. The fair value of options granted during the 2008, 2007 and 2006 periods were calculated using the following estimated weighted average assumptions:

 
2008
2007
2006 
Expected volatility
61.1%
60.3%
63.1%
Expected term (in years)
6.5
6.5
6.3
Risk-free interest rate
2.8%
4.4%
4.7%
Expected dividend yield
0%
0%
0%

The Company uses the simplified method outlined in SAB 110 to estimate expected lives for options granted during the period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected term assumption. The Company has not historically issued any dividends and does not expect to in the future.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The Company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize expense for unvested options. The amount of share-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company will re-evaluate the forfeiture rate annually and adjust it as necessary, and the adjustments could be material.

Share-based compensation expense for employee stock purchases, restricted stock awards and stock options recognized under SFAS 123R for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $688, $5,376 and $1,682, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of stock options that became fully vested during the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $677, $532 and $412, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $5.28, $6.41 and $4.46, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, there was $1,612 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested share-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

Share-based compensation expense related to employee restricted stock grants was $771, $88 and $8 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, there was $3,415 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 4 years.

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3 “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123R. The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under the prior accounting rules. This requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. Total cash flow remains unchanged from what would have been reported under prior accounting rules. Since no tax benefit was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for share-based payment awards in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the aforementioned provisions of SFAS 123R and the related FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Upon re-election to the Board of Directors in May 2008 and 2007, INX issued 7,443 and 9,072 shares, respectively to its non-employee directors. The issued shares were valued at $90 determined by multiplying the shares issued by the closing price per share for the common stock as reported by Nasdaq on May 13, 2008 and May 15, 2007.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On April 3, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the INX Inc. 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) which was approved by Company stockholders at the Annual Meeting on May 13, 2008. The purpose of the Purchase Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its designated subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will be available for issuance under the Purchase Plan is 500,000 shares, which shares may be authorized, but unissued shares or treasury shares. Eligible employees may elect to participate in each offering period by electing to contribute between 1% and 6% of such employee’s compensation to the Purchase Plan on each payroll date during the offering period. The Purchase Plan was initially implemented with a $6 limit on the amount of contributions that may be made to the Purchase Plan during any offering period. The purchase price per share is equal to 85% of the fair market value on the first trading day of the offering period or, if less, 85% of the fair market value on the last trading day of the purchase period. Under the Purchase Plan, the company issued 77,600 shares during 2008 and recognized share based compensation expense of $193.

Capital Stock

Holders of INX’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders and are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors of INX (the “Board”). Upon any liquidation or dissolution of INX, the holders of common stock are entitled, subject to any preferential rights of the holders of preferred stock, to receive a pro rata share of all of the assets remaining available for distribution to shareholders after payment of all liabilities. There are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock Repurchase Plan

Effective December 4, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $2,000 of the Company’s common stock on or before March 31, 2008. These 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. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, 184,985 shares were purchased for $1,536, of which 3,800 shares were purchased in 2007 and settled and recorded in 2008. From inception of the repurchase plan to March 31, 2008, 186,785 shares were purchased for $1,554, an average purchase price of $8.27 per share. The December 4, 2007 repurchase plan expired on March 31, 2008.

On May 2, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase plan of up to $2,000 of the Company’s common stock on or before July 31, 2008 under similar terms as the plan authorized on December 4, 2007. During July, 2008, 346 shares were purchased under the plan for $3, an average purchase price of $8.15 per share. The May 2, 2008 repurchase plan expired on July 31, 2008.

On September 10, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase plan of up to $2,000 of the Company’s common stock on or before December 31, 2008 under similar terms as the plan authorized on December 4, 2007. During September 2008, 78,940 shares were purchased under the plan for $557, an average purchase price of $7.03 per share. During the three month period ended December 31, 2008, 201,933 shares were purchased under the plan for $1,138, an average purchase price of $5.61 per share. 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.

Warrants

Included in the units issued by INX on May 7, 2004 were 575,000 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $12.45 per share. These warrants are exercisable through May 7, 2009 and are subject to redemption by INX at a price of $0.25 per warrant upon 30 days notice to the holders; however, INX may only redeem the warrants if the closing price for INX common stock, as reported on Nasdaq, for any five consecutive days has equaled or exceeded $16.60.

On May 7, 2004 INX issued warrants to the underwriters to purchase up to 50,000 units at an exercise price equal to $19.92 per unit. These warrants are exercisable during the four-year period beginning May 7, 2005 which is one year from the date of the prospectus. Pursuant to NASD Rule 2710(g), these warrants cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by any person for a period of one year following the effective date of the offering, except to any NASD member participating in the offering, to bona fide officers, by operation of law or if we are reorganized, so long as the securities so transferred remain subject to the same transfer restriction for the remainder of the one-year period. The holder of the representative’s warrant will have, in that capacity, no voting, dividend or other stockholder rights.

In January 2007, INX issued warrants to an investor relations firm under a personal services agreement to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $8.00 per share expiring January 1, 2009. The warrants are exercisable and resulted in a charge to 2007 earnings of $86, which was reflected as an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in-capital. There was no impact on total stockholders’ equity.

13.  Major Customers and Geographic Concentrations

International sales were approximately 3.5%, 3.7% and 4.9% of consolidated revenues for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, based on the country in which the products were delivered or services provided. No single customer represented more than 10% of 2008, 2007 or 2006 consolidated revenues.

14.  Related Party Transactions

Under an agreement that expired on January 31, 2007 (the “Old Lease”), the Company leased approximately 48,000 square feet of office space from Allstar Equities, Inc., (“Allstar”), wholly-owned by Mr. James H. Long, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder. The office space was leased under the Old Lease at the rate of $37 per month triple net. Due to the sale of the Company’s former Stratasoft and Valerent subsidiaries, substantially less space was required by the Company at this location. Accordingly, on October 11, 2006, the Company executed a new lease agreement (“New Lease”) with Allstar effective February 1, 2007, reducing the leased space to 16,488 square feet for a lease term of eighty-four months ending January 31, 2014 and base rent of $20 per month, gross. Under the Old Lease, occupancy expenses such as electricity, gas, water, janitorial, and security averaging approximately $280 per year are paid by the Company. Under the New Lease these services are included in the base rent with the costs borne by the landlord.

On January 25, 2008, Allstar sold the building and rights under the Lease to the General Consulate of Equatorial Guinea (“Consulate”), an unrelated third party. In connection with the sale of the building, INX, Allstar and Consulate executed a First Amendment to INX Inc. Lease Agreement (“Amendment”) on January 22, 2008, which included the following terms:

 
INX has the sole option to terminate its lease with 120 days notice for reasons specified in the Amendment. INX is not required to pay rent during the 120 day notice period.

 
INX has the right of first refusal on additional space on the second floor of the building.

Rental expense under the lease agreements with Allstar for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 totaled approximately $20, $257, and $446, respectively. The Company paid for remodeling, parking lot repaving, and other improvements of the building leased from Allstar totaling $7, $106, and $267 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviewed and approved those transactions with Allstar defined as related party transactions by the SEC as required by Nasdaq rules.

In December 2008, the Company purchased the operations of VocalMash, an application integration company, from Andrew Cadwell, Vice President of Sales. The purchase price consideration was 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $293 as more fully discussed in Note 3. The Board of Directors reviewed and approved the related party transaction contemplated by the Amendment.

15.  Commitments and Contingencies

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, 2007, the Company had an accounts receivable from CoCom of $325, less an allowance for doubtful accounts of $250. The remaining net accounts receivable of $75 was covered by a subcontractor bond, which was collected in July 2008. 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 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 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 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 or 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.

Operating Leases — Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 totaled approximately $1,940, $1,404, and $1,111, respectively. Future minimum rental commitments on noncancellable operating leases with remaining terms in excess of one year amount to approximately $1,672 in 2009, $1,119 in 2010, $617 in 2011, $492 in 2012, $294 in 2013, and $20 thereafter.

Capital Leases  — Future minimum lease payments on capital leases are $85 in 2009, $85 in 2010, $64 in 2011, and $21 in 2012 and include total imputed interest of $15.

401(k) Plan — INX maintains a 401(k) savings plan wherein it matches a portion of the employee contribution. Effective March 1, 2008, the company match was increased to 50 percent of the employee’s contribution to a maximum of three percent of compensation. Previously the company match was $10 per pay period plus three percent of the employee’s contribution. In addition, there is a discretionary matching fund based on the net profitability of INX. All full-time employees who have completed 90 days of service with INX are eligible to participate in the plan. Declaration of the discretionary portion of the matching fund is the decision of the Board. INX has made no additional contributions to the plan for the three years ended December 31, 2008. Under the standard plan matching program, INX’s expense was $557, $80 and $86 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

16. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On August 12, 2009, management of the Company in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that the Company's financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 required restatement.  This determination was made following a review which included the following:
 
 
 
·
The Company previously presented its floor plan financing balances as trade accounts payable because it believed that its principal vendor had a substantial investment in the floor plan financing company.  During the preparation of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company became aware that the principal vendor had no ownership interest in its floor plan financing company.  Consequently, the Company is correcting its presentation of the floor plan balances in its Balance Sheets from trade accounts payable to floor plan financing and the related amounts in its Statements of Cash Flows from operating activities to financing activities.  The error affects the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2008 and has no effect on the previously reported Statements of Operations.  There is no impact to the Company's current liabilities or total liabilities as a result of this reclassification for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008.

 
·
In addition to the aforementioned correction, we are recording certain immaterial adjustments that increase pre-tax expense by $76 for the year ended December 31, 2008, of which $26 was previously recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The adjustments consisted of a pre-tax expense of $50 related to stock option modifications and pre-tax expense of $26 related to the accrual of outside contractor costs.

 
The effect of the aforementioned corrections on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the three years ended December 31, 2008 as previously filed on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 are disclosed below.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.
 
Item 9A(T).  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures (Restated)

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2008, originally filed on March 10, 2009 (the "Original Filing"), our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that 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”)) were effective as of December 31, 2008.  In connection with our decision to restate our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K/A, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed a reevaluation and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008 as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.
 
73

 
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Status of Remediation Efforts

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In conducting its evaluation, our management used the criteria set forth by the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.

We did not maintain effective controls over the application, monitoring and reporting of the appropriate accounting policies related to non-standard financing contracts.  Specifically, we did not consider or validate the significant facts and assumptions underlying our accounting conclusions related to the floor plan financing arrangement in a timely manner  This deficiency, which was identified during the three months ended June 30, 2009, resulted in  an error in the classification of our amounts payable under the floor plan financing arrangement and which resulted in a restatement of our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the three year periods ended December 31, 2008, as more fully described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008.  This deficiency represents a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.

We did not maintain effective controls over the approval of modified grants of stock options and restricted stock in accordance with incentive plan provisions and the related application, monitoring and reporting of the appropriate accounting policies.  Specifically, we did not obtain approval of the Compensation Committee for modified grants of stock options and restricted stock in accordance with the requirements of the INX Incentive Plan.  We did not properly apply generally accepted accounting principles to modified grants of stock options and restricted stock in a timely manner.  This deficiency, which was identified during the three months ended June 30, 2009, resulted in an error in share-based compensation expense recognized as reflected in the restatement of our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008, as more fully described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008.  This deficiency represents a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.

In the Original Filing, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008. As a result of these material weaknesses, management has revised its earlier assessment and has now concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008 based on criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.  Accordingly, management has restated its report on internal control over financial reporting.
 
In light of the material weaknesses described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for the periods presented.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Management's Remediation Initiatives
 
To address the aforementioned material weakness in internal control related to the review over the application and monitoring and reporting of the appropriate accounting policies related to non-standard financing contracts, our remediation efforts will include, but not be limited to, the following:

 
·
Consider, validate and document all significant facts and assumptions underlying our accounting conclusions related to such financing arrangement on a quarterly basis.
 
To address the aforementioned material weakness in internal control related to the controls over the approval of modified grants of stock options and restricted stock and the related application, monitoring and reporting of the appropriate accounting policies, our remediation efforts will include, but not be limited to, the following:

 
·
Submit any proposed grant modifications to the Compensation Committee or its properly authorized designee for approval and properly apply generally accepted accounting principles to such modified grants.

We anticipate these actions will improve our internal control over financial reporting and will address the related material weaknesses identified.  However, because the institutionalization of the internal control process requires repeatable process execution, and because these controls rely extensively on manual review and approval, the successful execution of these controls, for at least several periods, may be required prior to management being able to definitively conclude that the material weaknesses have been fully remediated.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the fourth quarter of 2008, there has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
