PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
Unless stated otherwise, references in this report to "Infocrossing," "Company,"
"we," "our" or "us" refer to Infocrossing, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its
subsidiaries. Each trademark, trade name or service mark of any other company
appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K belongs to its holder.
Management believes that we are a leading provider of information technology
("IT") and business process outsourcing services to enterprise clients. We were
organized as a New York corporation in October 1984 and reincorporated in
Delaware as of August 31, 1999. On June 5, 2000, we changed our name from
Computer Outsourcing Services, Inc. to highlight our expanded business base. We
deliver a full suite of managed and outsourced solutions that enable clients to
leverage our infrastructure and process expertise to improve their efficiency
and reduce their operating costs. During our nearly twenty year history, we have
developed significant expertise in managing complex computing environments,
beginning with traditional data center outsourcing services and evolving to a
comprehensive set of managed solutions. We support a variety of clients and
assure the optimal performance, security, reliability, and scalability of our
clients' mainframes, distributed servers, and networks, irrespective of where
the systems' components are located. Strategic acquisitions have contributed
significantly to our historical growth and acquisitions remain an integral
component of our long-term growth strategy.
We offer IT outsourcing services across a range of IT functions, bundled into a
customized, long-term contractual arrangement, whereby we assume responsibility
for managing all or part of a client's information systems infrastructure and
operations. Our IT outsourcing agreements center on data center operations
(including mainframes, AS/400 or mid-range computing, and NT/UNIX platforms) and
extend to the infrastructure that facilitates the transmission of information
across a client's enterprise. Our services are organized into six "solution"
areas - (1) Mainframe Outsourcing, (2) Business Process Outsourcing, (3) Open
Systems Management, (4) AS/400 Management, (5) Business Continuity, and (6) IT
Consulting.
PAGE 2
On February 5, 2002, we completed the acquisition of AmQUEST, Inc., an
Atlanta-based IT outsourcing company, for approximately $19.6 million in cash
(the "AmQUEST Acquisition"). This acquisition combined two highly complementary
businesses and enabled us to benefit from increased scale, enhanced services,
and expanded geographic reach. We believe the combination strengthens our
position as one of the leading providers of IT outsourcing solutions for large
and mid-size companies.
THE IT OUTSOURCING INDUSTRY
We believe that the IT outsourcing market will grow for the following reasons:
o The need for companies to reduce costs and improve operating margins;
o A slowdown in capital spending on existing IT infrastructure;
o The increasing complexity of information technology systems and the
need to connect electronically with clients, suppliers and other
internal systems;
o The increasing requirements for rapid processing of information and
the instantaneous communication of large amounts of data to multiple
locations;
o The desire of business and government organizations to focus on their
core competencies;
o The desire by business and government organizations to take advantage
of the latest advances in technology without the cost and resource
commitment required to maintain an in-house system;
o The need to provide alternative or back-up locations for mission
critical information; and
o The proliferation of web-based and wireless technologies.
BENEFITS OF IT OUTSOURCING
Companies traditionally outsource to reduce operational and capital expenses,
improve service delivery, implement new technologies, and/or free their internal
resources to focus on strategic initiatives.
o REDUCE COSTS
We believe our clients realize significant savings by using our
services over their current internal costs. We leverage our 24x7
redundant infrastructure, personnel, processes, and tools across
multiple clients to gain economies of scale that we believe translate
into reduced costs for our customers.
o IMPROVE SERVICE DELIVERY
We believe that our customers enjoy improvement in service delivery
because of our focus on operations and economies of scale.
o RE-DEPLOY RESOURCES
By turning over non-core activities to us, our clients can concentrate
on activities central to their value proposition and increase their
competitive position.
o ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY
We believe outsourcing with us enables our clients to take advantage
of new technologies and best practices without the costs and risks
associated with implementing these solutions in-house.
o INCREASED FLEXIBILITY
We believe that outsourcing enables our clients to respond rapidly to
changing markets, mergers and acquisitions, and major organizational
changes by providing a flexible, multi-platform infrastructure that
can scale or transition to accommodate change.
PAGE 3
BUSINESS MODEL
Our business model is based on leveraging our IT data center infrastructure,
skilled operations team, and management tools across multiple clients to gain
economies of scale that improve clients' operations and dramatically reduce
their IT costs. We endeavor to achieve this by establishing consistent processes
throughout the organization, leveraging a fully secure and redundant data-center
infrastructure, sharing operational resources across multiple computing
platforms, and investing in administration tools that enable the efficient
monitoring and management of clients' systems regardless of where they are
located.
DATA CENTER INFRASTRUCTURE
Delivering high-availability IT outsourcing solutions to the enterprise client
requires a significant investment in a secure data center infrastructure. We
have fully constructed two data centers designed to meet the stringent
environmental and security requirements of enterprise clients. Our data centers
are raised-floor facilities that feature state-of-the-art physical components
and redundant network offerings, including high standards for security and
reliability. Our data centers have fully redundant power supply systems,
redundant ingress and egress Internet access across multiple providers, multiple
power feeds, N+1 fire suppression systems, and 24-hour security services.
TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE
The aggregated scale of the existing client base enables us to deploy shared
equipment and technology to improve margins by reducing operating costs and
streamlining service delivery. We have fully deployed mainframe, mid-range, and
open system processing; data storage systems; printing equipment; and networking
hardware across our two data center facilities. By managing the scheduling and
production of clients' processing, we gain significant economies of scale by
effectively "sharing" technology resources across multiple clients.
We utilize technologies such as IBM's Virtual Tape Subsystem (VTS) to reduce
operational overhead by automating processes. The VTS is a system of hardware
and software licensed from IBM that eliminates the need for personnel to
manually loan and unload tapes containing client data. While VTS and other
technologies we use are commercially available to any willing purchaser, they
are often cost-prohibitive for individual companies. Without such technologies,
we would not be as cost-efficient. We make the technology accessible to our
clients by distributing the costs over multiple entities.
OPERATIONS
Supporting a 24 x 7 computing environment requires significant operational
resources skilled across a number of technology areas including operating
systems, computing, networking, and applications. Few companies have the
financial and human resources to support a 24-hour, multi-platform computing
environment. Our operations team is a highly skilled, process driven
organization that is trained across multiple computing platforms and operating
systems. As a result of our technical competency and broad customer base, we
believe our labor costs per client typically are lower than the costs our
clients would incur by having internal IT departments deliver the same service
levels. We believe our highly scalable operation allows our clients to enjoy
reduced IT costs. Most of our computer hardware is manufactured by IBM. We also
rely heavily on system software licensed from IBM or Computer Associates.
MANAGEMENT TOOLS
With the growth of IP networking as a low-cost method for transmitting
information, we have invested in the development of a proprietary suite of
management tools that enables us to monitor and manage clients' systems and
components from a centralized network operations center. The management platform
enables the monitoring and management of clients' systems located in our data
centers, at the clients' site, or at a third-party facility. The strategic
investment provides us with the ability to expand our services portfolio beyond
solutions delivered within our own data centers, and enables us to grow our
data-center infrastructure without having to replicate the network operations
center at each site.
PAGE 4
SERVICES
Our services are organized into six solution areas, including:
o MAINFRAME OUTSOURCING. We believe our mainframe outsourcing solution
provides clients with a cost-effective, operationally superior
alternative to running and managing a mainframe infrastructure
in-house. We combine the scalability and reliability of mainframe
systems with the world-class management of, and access to, hardware,
systems software, and communications. We offer the latest technologies
- including Virtual Tape Subsystems, IBM's zSeries technology, and
Linux on the mainframe - to provide greater uptime and more efficiency
for our customers. We have experience in operating multiple computer
systems running on different operating and complex enterprise
environments. We provide high capacity in processing speed,
connectivity, and storage management.
o BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING. Business process outsourcing involves
clients contracting with us to perform functions that support their
business, but are not their core competency. These functions, commonly
called "back-office" processes, include services such as payroll,
accounts receivable management, payment processing, logistics, data
entry and customer care services. Back-office processes are often
supported by an extensive IT infrastructure. By contracting with us,
companies can improve their processes, reduce their costs, and
concentrate on their core business.
We provide a variety of customized IT services designed to specific
client requirements. These services include the development of
proprietary software we utilize to meet the IT processing requirements
of particular clients. We manage the software application and retain
ownership of the software we develop.
o OPEN SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT. We provide on-site hosting and remote
management of customers' hardware and software running on Unix and
Windows servers for both Internet based and other applications.
Clients can choose from a wide range of options for their open systems
- starting with basic on-site hosting all the way up to fully
customized, fully managed services. This highly flexible approach
makes it easy to support a variety of systems - from a simple website
or database application to a full-scale, multinational Enterprise
Resource Plan system. With our IFOXcenter management tools, we can
remotely manage systems located at our customers' own data centers or
at a third-party location.
o AS/400 AND ISERIES MANAGEMENT. We provide specialized support and
outsourcing resources for companies that rely on midrange computers.
With an experienced staff and infrastructure resources, we operate,
administer, and maintain a client's midrange systems. Additionally, we
have the expertise and flexibility to manage a client's system the way
the client chooses to have it managed. With our IFOXcenter management
tools, we can take full responsibility for managing a customer's
systems even if the hardware is located outside of one of our data
centers.
o BUSINESS CONTINUITY. Our business continuity solutions help assure
clients that their operations can proceed in the face of disaster. We
offer 24 x 7, high-availability services - including disaster-planning
assistance. The disaster recovery solutions are integrated into a
client's overall IT infrastructure, with the opportunity to balance IT
processing between their own data center and dedicated systems at
either of our production data centers. We provide a full alternate
office site, including desktop workstations, phone systems, and
conventional office infrastructure such as fax and copier machines,
networked printers, and conferencing facilities.
o CONSULTING SERVICES. We provide review and implementation services for
the underlying infrastructure of an enterprise's IT operations, with a
view to reducing costs and improving services to the enterprise and
end-user. Our expertise developed over our nearly twenty year history
coupled with our highly trained and experienced staff can assist with
design through implementation and on-going support in the areas of
network architecture, infrastructure integration, automation process
control, operating systems, database administration, and system stress
testing.
PAGE 5
CLIENT SERVICE AND SUPPORT
We believe that close attention to client service and support has been, and will
continue to be, critical to our business plan and vital to our success in the IT
outsourcing industry. We utilize client service as a key competitive
differentiator and as the foundation of our revenue retention strategy. We
provide a high degree of client service and support, including customized
training and rapid response to client needs, which we believe generally exceeds
industry standards. As a provider of services, virtually our entire organization
is dedicated to client support and service. We believe that because of our
attention to client service, many of our client relationships have been
long-term, extending well beyond the initial contract term. Of our 257
employees, 232 devote substantially all of their time to direct client service
and support. In addition, because of our compact size we can provide direct
access to our senior executives.
MARKETING AND SALES
We currently target our marketing efforts to a broad range of large and
medium-size enterprises. Although we have developed industry specific services
in several industries including financial services, publishing, manufacturing,
consumer products, and health care, we believe our reputation for technical
expertise and quality service extends across all industries.
For the year ended December 31, 2003, one client, ADT Security Services, Inc.,
accounted for in excess of 10% of our consolidated revenues. For the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, clients accounting for in excess of 10% of our
consolidated revenues were ADT Security Services, Inc. and Alicomp, a division
of Alicare, Inc. ("Alicomp"). We also have had a joint marketing agreement with
Alicomp throughout the foregoing periods.
Initial contact with a prospective customer is made by a variety of methods,
including seminars, mailings, telemarketing, referrals, and attendance at
industry conventions and trade shows. Our sales representatives and marketing
support staff analyze a prospective client's requirements and prepare service
demonstrations. In some cases, we have entered into agreements with certain
enterprises and individuals that would be entitled to receive compensation for
their assistance in procuring sales.
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SERVICES
Since the IT services industry is characterized by rapid changes in hardware and
software technology, we continually refine our IT infrastructure and systems
management services to encompass new computing platforms. To meet our clients'
exacting requirements, we are committed to maintaining service offerings at a
very high level of technological proficiency and we believe that we have
developed a reputation for providing innovative solutions to satisfy our
clients' requirements.
We maintain an extensive infrastructure that serves as the underlying foundation
across our IT solutions. These capabilities are augmented by strategic
partnerships and key investments to provide clients with a full suite of IT
outsourcing solutions. Where possible, we endeavor to develop offerings that can
be easily replicated across multiple clients and give rise to a high degree of
recurring revenue. Development of new services is focused on applying our
expertise in infrastructure and systems management to evolving hardware and
software environments. Recent examples of new services include AS/400 and
iSeries Management and Business Continuity Services described above. The costs
to develop these services were expensed as incurred. Development is performed by
our Company's employees and in limited instances by outside consultants.
Capitalized expenditures for enhancement to existing products are for the
Business Process Outsourcing Services described above. Capitalized expenditures
for enhancements to existing products approximated $138,000, $135,000, and
$285,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
PAGE 6
COMPETITION
We operate in highly competitive markets. Our current and potential competitors
include other independent computer service companies and divisions of
diversified enterprises, as well as the internal IT departments of existing and
potential customers. Among the most significant of our competitors are IBM
Corporation; Electronic Data Systems Corporation; Affiliated Computer Services,
Inc.; Computer Sciences Corp.; and SunGard Data Systems, Inc.
In general, the outsourcing services industry is fragmented, with numerous
companies offering services in limited geographic areas, vertical markets, or
product categories. Many of our larger competitors have substantially greater
financial and other resources than we do. We compete on the basis of a number of
factors, including price, quality of service, technological innovation, breadth
of services offered and responsiveness. Some of these factors are beyond our
control.
We cannot be sure that we will be able to compete successfully against our
competitors in the future. If we fail to compete successfully against our
current or future competitors with respect to these or other factors, our
business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and
adversely affected.
While our larger competitors seek to outsource entire IT departments, we often
selectively target core IT functions such as computer processing and storage
solutions. In doing so, we position ourselves as a partner of the client's IT
organization, rather than as a competitive threat.
We believe that our services are particularly attractive to mid-tier companies
that need substantial infrastructure to support their business environment, but
are considered "small" compared to the multi-billion dollar engagements signed
by our largest competitors. Many mid-market companies perceive, we believe,
larger outsourcers as "inflexible" and "unresponsive" to their smaller-scale
requirements. We believe that selective outsourcing enables them to maintain
overall control over their IT environment, while benefiting from the scale and
efficiency of an outsourcing provider.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES
Although we are not aware of any pending or prospective technological changes
that would adversely affect our business, new developments in technology could
have a material adverse effect on the development or sales of some or all of our
services or could render our services noncompetitive or obsolete. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to develop or acquire new and improved
services or systems that may be required in order for it to remain competitive.
We believe, however, that technological changes do not present a material risk
to our business because we expect to be able to adapt to and acquire any new
technology more easily than our existing and potential clients. In addition,
technological change increases the risk of obsolescence to potential clients
that might otherwise choose to maintain in-house systems rather than use our
services, thus potentially creating selling opportunities for us.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS
Due to the rapid pace of technological change in the computer industry, we
believe that copyright and other forms of intellectual property protection are
of less significance than factors such as the knowledge and experience of
management and other personnel, and our ability to develop, enhance, market, and
acquire new systems and services. As a result, our systems and processes are not
protected by patents or by registered copyrights, trademarks, trade names, or
service marks. To protect our proprietary services and software from illegal
reproduction, we rely on certain mechanical techniques in addition to trade
secret laws, restrictions in certain of our customer agreements with respect to
use of our services and disclosure to third parties, and internal non-disclosure
safeguards, including confidentiality restrictions with certain employees.
Despite these efforts, it may be possible for our competitors or clients to copy
aspects of our trade secrets. We are experienced in handling confidential and
sensitive information for our clients, and we maintain numerous security
procedures to help ensure that the confidentiality of our client's data is
maintained.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
We have not incurred any significant expense in our compliance with Federal,
state, and local environmental laws.
PAGE 7
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2003, we had 252 full-time and 5 part-time employees. None of
our employees is represented by a labor organization and we are not aware of any
activities seeking such organization. We consider our relationship with our
employees to be satisfactory.
INSURANCE
We maintain insurance coverage we believe is reasonable, including errors and
omissions coverage, business interruption, and directors and officers insurance
to fund our operations in the event of catastrophic damage to any of our
operations centers, and insurance for the loss and reconstruction of our
computer systems. We also maintain extensive data backup procedures to protect
our data and our clients' data.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from U.S. sources.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
We maintain a website with the address www.infocrossing.com. We are not

operations of AmQUEST to our facility in the Atlanta metropolitan area, however
we continue to provide open systems and AS400 systems management services to
certain clients (including the former owner of AmQUEST) from the Buckhead
facility. We occupy approximately 11,100 square feet in the Buckhead Facility as
of December 31, 2003. This lease agreement expires on January 31, 2006, unless
we reduce our use of the space to zero at an earlier date.
We generally lease our equipment under standard commercial leases, in some cases

No cash dividends have been declared (See Item 5, above).
(a) On February 5, 2002, we acquired AmQUEST, Inc., which contributed
approximately $17,148,000 of revenue in 2002 subsequent to the
acquisition, and approximately $18,747,000 in 2003. We paid $19,896,000
for the acquisition and related costs during 2002, and recorded
$25,692,000 in assets, including $20,624,000 in goodwill. In connection
with this acquisition, we incurred $10,000,000 of new debt, recorded as
discounted Debentures and Warrants. The book value of the Debentures at
December 31, 2002 was approximately $9,372,000. On October 21, 2003, we
repaid the debentures, including accrued interest thereon, from a
portion of the proceeds from the private offering described in (c).
PAGE 11
(b) Included in the net loss to common stockholders in 2001 was $9,823,000
in amortization of a restricted stock award and a $5,650,000 loss on
leased facilities and office closings.
(c) In May 2000, we raised $60 million through a private placement of
redeemable preferred stock and warrants to purchase 2.7 million shares
of common stock. The redeemable preferred stock was initially recorded
net of a discount representing that portion of the proceeds assigned to
the warrants. The difference between the face value and the book value
of the redeemable preferred stock being accreted over a seven-year
period through a charge to retained earnings. In addition, dividends
accrued on the redeemable preferred stock at an 8% annual rate,
compounded quarterly. On October 21, 2003, we exchanged all outstanding
redeemable preferred stock (including the rights to all unpaid
dividends) and warrants issued in the May 2000 private placement for
$55 million in cash and notes for $25 million. We obtained the cash for
this transaction from a private offering of 9.7 million shares of
common stock and warrants to purchase 3.4 million shares of common
stock that also closed on October 21, 2003. The redemption of the
redeemable preferred stock ended the accretion and accrual of dividends
as of the redemption date. Had the redemption not taken place,
accretion and the accrual of dividends would have been approximately
$10.1 million in 2003.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Infocrossing believes it is a leading provider of information technology and
business process outsourcing services to enterprise clients. We deliver a full
suite of managed and outsourced solutions that enable clients to leverage our
infrastructure and process expertise to improve their efficiency and reduce
their operating costs. We have gained significant expertise in managing complex
computing environments, beginning with traditional data center outsourcing
services and evolving to a comprehensive set of managed solutions. We support a
variety of clients, including Global 2000 companies, and help assure the optimal
performance, security, reliability, and scalability of our clients' mainframes,
distributed servers, and networks, irrespective of where the systems' components
are located. Due to rapid changes and increasing complexities in information
technology, we believe outsourcing is an efficient solution for many businesses
and continues to be a growing trend. We have grown through strategic
acquisitions as well as organic growth.
On February 5, 2002, we completed the acquisition of AmQUEST, Inc., an
Atlanta-based IT outsourcing company, for approximately $19.6 million in cash
after certain post-closing adjustments (the "AmQUEST Acquisition"). This
acquisition combined two highly complementary businesses and enabled us to
benefit from increased scale, enhanced services, and expanded geographic reach.
This combination strengthened our position as one of the leading providers of IT
outsourcing solutions for large and mid-size companies across a broad range of
industries including financial services, security, publishing, healthcare,
telecommunications and manufacturing.
The AmQUEST Acquisition was recorded as a purchase in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), which
requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also includes guidance on
the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets
arising from business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. SFAS 142 requires that
goodwill be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with
finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. We
applied SFAS 142 beginning in the first quarter of 2002 and accordingly have not
recorded goodwill amortization since. We tested goodwill for impairment using
processes described in SFAS 142, and had no impairment to record in 2003 or
2002.
PAGE 12
On October 21, 2003 we closed a private placement and issued 9,739,111 shares of
common stock and five year warrants to purchase 3,408,689 shares of common stock
for $7.86 per share in exchange for $76,549,405. The proceeds of the private
placement were used to fund repayment of all outstanding Debentures and the
redemption of all outstanding shares of our redeemable Series A Preferred Stock
and series A warrants to purchase approximately 2.7 million common shares in
exchange for $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new senior secured
term loans and $55.0 million in cash. The new senior secured loans bear interest
at 9% per year, payable quarterly, and mature in October 2008. The remainder of
the amount raised was used for the payment of fees and expenses of the offering
and recapitalization transactions and for working capital purposes.
On February 13, 2004, a new lender purchased all the senior secured loans from
the original holders without significantly altering the terms and conditions of
the loans. The original loan agreement provided for the issuance, if required by
a new lender, of warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock.
The new lender did not require us to issue such warrant.
On March 4, 2004, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire all of the
outstanding stock of ITO Acquisition Corp, a data center outsourcing company
doing business as Systems Management Specialists ("SMS"), for $36.5 million in
cash and Infocrossing stock. SMS, headquartered in Orange County, California,
provides computing operations, business process outsourcing and managed
application services to nearly forty clients primarily in the western United
States. SMS is expected to add approximately $33 million to our gross revenue
during the first twelve months following the close of the transaction.
Synergistic benefits are expected to be realized throughout 2004 and the
acquisition is expected to be accretive on an earnings per share basis in 2004.
We have received a waiver from the holder of the senior secured loans granting
us permission to make such an acquisition, as required by the loan agreement.
The transaction is expected to close within sixty days of the announcement, and
is contingent upon our securing financing and other customary closing
conditions. We proposed debt and equity financings of approximately $35 million
in connection with the pending acquisition.
On March 26, 2004, we announced that a definitive agreement had been reached to
sell 2,917,000 shares of our common stock in a private offering at an aggregate
offering price of $30.6 million. Approval from the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. has
been received, and the transaction is expected to close during the week of March
29, 2004. We intend to use the net proceeds of this private placement to fund a
portion of the cash component of the pending acquisition of SMS. We also intend
to fund the balance of the cash component and related fees and expenses with the
proceeds from a proposed debt financing, with any remaining funds to be used for
working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The exact timing and terms of the remainder of the financing will depend upon
market conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that such
financing will occur.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AS
COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
For the year ended December 31, 2003 (the "Current Year"), revenues increased
$4,454,000 (8.8%) to $55,228,000 from $50,774,000 for the year ended December
31, 2002 (the "Prior Year"). Revenues from AmQUEST, which had only 11 months of
operations in the Prior Year, contributed $1,599,000 of this increase. Revenues
grew by 8.5%, excluding growth contributed by AmQUEST. This organic revenue
growth was net of a decline in the revenue from our largest client, ADT Security
Services, Inc. Revenues from this significant customer were $14,977,000 in the
Prior Year compared with $12,804,000 in the Current Year, representing 29.5% and
23.2% of total revenues in the respective periods. The decrease in revenue from
this customer reflects the impact of special processing provided in the Prior
Year, but not in the Current, Year. Other organic revenue growth totaled 27.0%
Costs of revenues increased $3,374,000 (10.1%) to $36,706,000 (66.5% of
revenues) during the Current Year compared with $33,332,000 (65.6% of revenues)
for the Prior Year. Costs of revenues in the Prior Year reflect the benefit from
the settlement with a software licensor described below. Without the benefit of
that settlement, costs of revenues in the Prior Year would have been $36,128,000
(71.2% of revenues). The improvement in margin is related to the successful
integration of the AmQUEST operations.
PAGE 13
In January 2002, we settled a dispute of claims with a software licensor.
Pursuant to the settlement, we received credits totaling $2,000,000 to be used
toward future purchases (the "Credits"). The entire value of the Credits were
recorded in the Prior Year, and as of December 31, 2002, all the Credits had
been applied against certain software license fees. Additionally, we reversed
accrued expenses of $796,000 for software support and maintenance fees in the
Prior Year in connection with the settlement of the dispute.
Selling and promotion costs increased due to higher compensation costs by
$192,000 (6.9%) to $2,978,000 for the Current Year from $2,786,000 for the Prior
Year, but decreased as a percentage of revenues to 5.4% from 5.5% in the Prior
Year.
General and administrative expenses decreased $527,000 (8.6%) to $5,587,000 for
the Current Year from $6,114,000 for the Prior Year. Contributing to the
improvement was a reduction of $269,000 in provision for bonuses and $195,000 in
salary cost reductions, as well as a reduction of $51,000 in provision for
doubtful accounts.
Depreciation and amortization for fixed assets and other intangibles rose
$123,000 (2.1%), to $6,061,000 for the Current Year from $5,938,000 for the
Prior Year.
We recorded net interest expense of $2,498,000 in the Current Year, compared
with $1,965,000 in the Prior Year. The net increase of $533,000 reflects (i) a
decrease in interest income of $68,000 from a lower average balance of
interest-earning assets during the Current Year and, to a lesser extent, lower
interest rates, and (ii) an increase of $465,000 in interest expense on a larger
average outstanding debt balance than in the Prior Year. In February 2002, we
issued $10,000,000 of Senior Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") in
connection with the AmQUEST Acquisition, bearing interest at an effective rate
of 12.3%. We took advantage of a provision of the Debentures and paid the
interest payments due July 2002, February 2003 and July 2003 by issuing a total
of $1,190,000 in Additional Debentures, which bore the same effective interest
rate. In October 2003 we repaid the Debentures and Additional Debentures from
the proceeds of a private offering of common stock. Also in October 2003, in
connection with the redemption of all outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock, we
issued $25,000,000 of five-year 9% term loans. Amortization of debt issuance
costs and amortization of the Debenture discount also contributed to the
increased interest expense in the Current Year.
In the Current Year, we recorded income tax expense of $42,000 representing
estimated state income taxes. In the Prior Year, a net income tax benefit of
$208,000 was recorded, representing the carryback of $250,000 of Federal income
tax credits net of estimated state income tax expense of $42,000 . Cumulative
pre-tax losses that cannot be carried back can be carried forward for a period
of 20 taxable years for Federal income tax purposes. We have net operating loss
carry-forwards of approximately $37.3 million for Federal income tax purposes
that begin to expire in 2019. The use of these net operating loss carry-forwards
may be restricted in amount in future years pursuant to Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The deferred tax asset associated with carrying forward
cumulative pre-tax losses has been fully offset by a valuation allowance due to
the uncertainty of realizing such tax benefits.
We have net income of $1,356,000 for the Current Year versus $1,137,000 for the
Prior Year. Net loss to common stockholders after accretion and accrued
dividends on preferred stock was $5,521,000 for the Current Year compared with a
net loss of $8,156,000 in the Prior Year. The net loss to common stockholders
included an decrease in non-cash charges for accretion and accrued dividends on
preferred stock of $2,416,000 to $6,877,000 in the Current Year from $9,293,000
in the Prior Year. The loss per common share was $0.76 for the Current Year
compared with a loss per common share of $1.52 in the Prior Year, on both a
basic and diluted basis. Common stock equivalents were ignored in determining
the net loss per share for both periods, since the inclusion of such equivalents
would be anti-dilutive.
PAGE 14
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AS
COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
For the year ended December 31, 2002 ("2002"), revenues increased $23,787,000
(88%) to $50,774,000 from $26,987,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001
("2001"). Revenues from AmQUEST contributed $17,148,000 of this increase.
Revenues grew by 25%, excluding growth contributed by AmQUEST. This organic
revenue growth is primarily attributable to a significant new IT managed
services contract with ADT Security Services, Inc., signed in 2001, with an
initial term of four years. Unless the customer provides notice of non-renewal,
the contract will renew annually for three annual years. Revenues from this
significant customer were $4,672,000 in 2001 compared with $14,977,000 in 2002,
representing 17% and 29% of total revenues in the respective periods. The
increase in revenue from this customer reflects a higher level of service
provided in 2002.
Costs of revenues increased $1,012,000 (3%) to $33,332,000 during 2002 compared
with $32,320,000 for 2001. With the additional costs of revenues of AmQUEST
excluded, costs of revenues declined by $9,839,000 (31%). The reduced level of
costs of revenues reflects the actions we took in 2001 to minimize costs through
staff reductions. During 2001, management planned and executed without
significant modification four reductions in its workforce, whereby it reduced
total operating staff by 45 persons amounting to approximately $4 million in
annualized salaries and benefits. Severance of approximately $151,000 was paid
to employees and expensed in the month each of the planned reductions in the
workforce was planned and executed. All severance was paid by December 31, 2001.
In addition, in 2001 we suspended operations at our metropolitan Atlanta data
center and the further development of the Northern Virginia data center. Costs
of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 66% in 2002 from 120% in
2001. Costs of revenues in 2002 reflect the benefit from the settlement with a
software licensor described below.
In April 2002, we renegotiated the lease of our metropolitan Atlanta data
center. The renegotiated lease, which is payable through December 2015, reduces
the leased space by more than 20,000 square feet and increases the base rent by
$2.00 per square foot, to an annual base rent of $525,000. The base rent is
subject to future escalations of approximately 2.5% per lease year. In addition,
we are responsible for a pro rata share of the building's operating expenses and
real estate taxes. The total estimated savings under the renegotiated lease
approximate $5 million over the remaining term of the lease. Included in costs
of revenues in 2002 and 2001 are expenses for this facility of $556,000 and
$1,095,000, respectively. During 2002, we relocated most of the operations of
AmQUEST to the metropolitan Atlanta data center.
Also in May 2002, we reached an agreement with the landlord of the Northern
Virginia data center. The agreement releases us from the future payments under
the lease, which amounted to approximately $30 million through November 2015.
The agreement also required a cash payment of approximately $1,515,000 and the
forfeiture of a $1,460,000 deposit. As of December 31, 2001, we recorded a
provision of $5,650,000 for this expected result, including the write-off of
approximately $2,742,000 of construction-in-progress costs. During 2002,
approximately $290,000 of the provision relating to estimated settlement costs
was reversed. Included in costs of revenues in 2002 and 2001 are costs for this
facility of $378,000 and $2,254,000, respectively.
In January 2002, we settled a dispute of claims with a software licensor.
Pursuant to the settlement, we received credits totaling $2,000,000 to be used
toward future purchases (the "Credits"). The entire value of the Credits was
recorded in 2002, and as of December 31, 2002, all the Credits have been applied
against software license fees. Additionally, we reversed accrued expenses of
$796,000 for software support and maintenance fees in 2002 in connection with
the settlement of the dispute.
Selling and promotion costs decreased $287,000 (9%) to $2,786,000 for 2002 from
$3,073,000 for 2001, solely due to staff reductions in 2001 as part of the
reductions in workforce noted above. Selling and promotion costs as a percentage
of revenues decreased to 5% from 11% in 2001, due to decreased costs and
increased revenues.
General and administrative expenses decreased $2,615,000 (30%) to $6,114,000 for
2002 from $8,729,000 for 2001. With the effect of AmQUEST excluded, general and
administrative expenses declined $3,244,000 (37%). Several factors contributed
to the improvement: a reduction of $700,000 in bad debt provision from that
required in 2001; $395,000 less in professional fees; $318,000 less in
recruiting expenses; and staff reductions amounting to approximately $300,000 in
salaries and benefits as part of the reductions in force noted above.
PAGE 15
Amortization related to a restricted stock award to a former executive was
$9,823,000 in 2001. The former executive resigned in November 2001, and the
remaining unamortized balance of the award was charged to expense at that time.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
effective January 1, 2002 goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. In
2001, goodwill amortization was $644,000.
Other depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and other intangibles rose
$2,477,000 (72%), to $5,938,000 for 2002 from $3,461,000 for 2001. Without the
effect of AmQUEST, other depreciation and amortization increased $1,325,000
(38%) as a result of fixed asset purchases since December 31, 2001.
We recorded net interest expense of $1,965,000 in 2002, compared with net
interest income of $886,000 in 2001. The net change of $2,851,000 reflects a
decrease in interest income of $1,205,000 from a lower average balance of
interest-earning assets during 2002. Also, to a lesser extent, the decrease in
interest income results from lower interest rates. The net change also includes
an increase of $1,646,000 in interest expense on a larger average outstanding
debt balance than in 2001. In February 2002, we issued $10,000,000 of Senior
Subordinated Debentures in connection with the AmQUEST Acquisition, bearing
interest at an effective rate of 12.3%. Amortization of debt issuance costs and
amortization of the debt discount also contributed to the increased interest
expense in 2002.
In 2002, we recorded an income tax benefit representing the carryback of
$250,000 of Federal income tax credits net of income tax expense of $42,000,
representing estimated state income taxes. Tax expense of $697,000 was recorded
in 2001, representing the reconciliation between the estimated benefits reported
in the period ended December 31, 2000 and the amount recognized in our income
tax return. The cumulative tax benefit we recorded prior to December 31, 2001
was limited to the refund of taxes paid in prior years that were received as a
result of carrying back a portion of its pre-tax loss.
Cumulative pre-tax losses that cannot be carried back can be carried forward for
a period of 20 taxable years for Federal income tax purposes. We have net
operating loss carry-forwards at December 31, 2002 of approximately $36 million
for Federal income tax purposes that begin to expire in 2019. The deferred tax
asset associated with carrying forward cumulative pre-tax losses has been fully
offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realizing such tax
benefits.
We had net income of $1,137,000 for 2002 versus a net loss of $36,524,000 for
2001. Net loss to common stockholders after accretion and accrued dividends on
preferred stock was $8,156,000 for 2002 compared with a net loss of $45,048,000
in 2001. The net loss to common stockholders included an increase in non-cash
charges for accretion and accrued dividends on preferred stock of $769,000 to
$9,293,000 in 2002 from $8,524,000 in 2001. The loss per common share was $1.52
for 2002 compared with a loss per common share of $7.77 in 2001, on both a basic
and diluted basis. Common stock equivalents were ignored in determining the net
loss per share for both periods, since the inclusion of such equivalents would
be anti-dilutive.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $5,946,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2003. During the Current Year, we had $1,356,000 of net
income, $6,061,000 of depreciation and amortization, and $422,000 of debenture
discount amortization. There was also a $40,000 non-cash charge for the issuance
of a non-qualified option to a consultant. Uses of cash during 2003 included
$1,325,000 of net payments of accounts payable and $148,000 in payments on
previously accrued amounts for closed locations. Prepaid expenses and other
current assets increased $590,000, including $492,000 in increases in prepaid
hardware and software costs and $113,000 in miscellaneous receivables. Accrued
expenses declined $510,000 resulting from payments of $746,000 in accrued
compensation, net of a $236,000 increase in other accruals. We recognized
$207,000 from deferred revenue, net of an increase in long-term deferred rent
expense by $82,000. Net collections on accounts receivable provided $777,000 in
operating cash.
PAGE 16
On October 21, 2003, we sold 9,739,111 shares of our common stock and warrants
to purchase 3,408,689 shares of common stock to investors in a private offering
for net aggregate proceeds, after payment of fees and costs, of $69,942,000. The
warrants have an exercise price of $7.86 per share and expire in October 2008.
The proceeds were used for the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, the
repayment of debentures, and for working capital purposes.
On October 21, 2003, we purchased all the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock
and all the outstanding Investor Warrants for a net price of $80,000,000, using
$56,321,000, including fees and costs of the transaction, in cash from the
proceeds of the private stock offering discussed below and issuing $25,000,000
of senior secured term loans. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock and
dividends payable was estimated at approximately $60,066,000, and the $630,000
difference between the current accreted book value and the computed fair value
was recorded as an adjustment to accretion expense in the income statement in
our fourth quarter. We determined the fair values of the Series A Preferred
Stock and the warrants in the following manner. We calculated the Company's fair
value (our "Enterprise Value") using a discounted future cash flow model
(ignoring the effects of the private placement and this recapitalization) at
approximately $128 million. Using the Black-Scholes method and assuming a seven
year life, a risk-free interest rate of 3.13%, and volatility of 54.23%, we
calculated the fair value of the warrants to be approximately $21 million. The
market value of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the private
offering was approximately $42 million. The residual Enterprise Value of $65
million was attributed to the Series A Preferred Stock. The fair values of the
warrants and the Series A Preferred Stock were then proportionally allocated to
the $80 million consideration resulting in final fair values for the warrants
and the Series A Preferred Stock of $19.9 million and $60.1 million,
respectively.
The senior secured term loans mature in October 2008 and bear an interest rate
of 9% per annum payable, along with a minimum principal payment of 0.25% of the
outstanding loan balance, on last day of March, June, September and December of
each year, beginning on December 31, 2003. The term loans provide for a default
interest rate of 3% on the unpaid principal of the term loans and overdue
interest. The new term loans are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries. The term
loans and guarantees are secured by a first-priority interest on substantially
all of our assets, including the capital stock of our subsidiaries, and the
assets of our subsidiaries.
At the end of each year beginning with the year ending December 31, 2004, we are
required to prepay the term loans with an amount equal to 75% of our Excess Cash
Flow (as this and other capitalized terms in this section are defined in the
term loan agreement) for such year. We are also required to prepay the new term
loans with all net proceeds from:
o certain sales, transfers or other dispositions of property or assets if the
aggregate amount of such sales, transfers or other dispositions is equal to
or greater than $250,000 in any year;
o casualty or insured damage if the aggregate amount of such casualty or
insured damage is equal to or greater than $250,000 in any year; and
o the receipt of unscheduled payments in connection with the termination of a
customer contract in excess of $1,000,000 during any fiscal year; provided
that we have the right to reinvest within 180 days of the receipt of any
such proceeds: (a) all proceeds from casualty events and (b) up to
$5,000,000 of proceeds from asset sales.
We are also required to prepay the new term loans with 50% of the net proceeds
from a sale of capital stock or other equity securities. Upon a change of
control event, we are required to prepay the new term loans at 101% of the then
outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus unpaid interest.
The notes contain certain covenants including, but not limited to: a maximum
leverage ratio; minimum consolidated earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization; a minimum debt coverage ratio; and limitations
on indebtedness, capital expenditures, investments, loans, mergers and
acquisitions, stock issuances, and transactions with affiliates. In addition,
the terms of the notes limit our ability to pay dividends. We were in compliance
with such loan covenants at December 31, 2003.
Other investing activities included the purchase of $1,419,000 in fixed assets,
the payment of $350,000 of costs relating to the AmQUEST Acquisition, and the
investment of $138,000 in enhancements to our internally-developed software.
On February 1, 2002, in connection with the AmQUEST Acquisition, we issued
Senior Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") for $10,000,000. The
Debentures had a maturity of three years from February 1, 2002 (the "Issuance
Date"). Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures, we were required to make
semi-annual interest payments of 12% per annum. We had the option to pay
interest in the form of (a) cash; (b) additional Debentures; or (c) a
combination of cash and additional Debentures. On July 31, 2002, January 31,
2003 and July 31, 2003, we made the interest payments then due by issuing
additional Debentures totaling $600,000, $636,000 and $674,000, respectively.
The additional Debentures were subject to the same terms as the original
Debentures. On October 21, 2003, we repaid all the outstanding Debentures
and interest accrued through that date in the amount of $12,227,000.
Financing activities also included the repayment of $2,428,000 of capital leases
and other debts and the receipt of $106,000 from employee stock option
exercises.

The following table summarizes information about our contractual obligations as
of December 31, 2003 and the periods in which payments are due. Certain of these

future performance.
(2) Payments of Accrued Loss on Leased Facilities. Excludes Deferred Revenue,
as it is a non-cash item, and Deferred Rent, as payments are included under
Operating Leases.
As of December 31, 2003, we had cash and equivalents of $10,073,000. We expect
that our operating activities will continue to generate cash. On March 26, 2004,
we announced that a definitive agreement had been reached to sell 2,917,000
shares of our common stock in a private offering at an aggregate offering price
of $30.6 million. Approval from the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. has been received,
and the transaction is expected to close during the week of March 29, 2004. We
intend to use the net proceeds of this private placement to fund a portion of
the cash component of the pending acquisition of SMS. We also intend to fund the
balance of the cash component and related fees and expenses with the proceeds
from a proposed debt financing, with any remaining funds to be used for working
capital and other general corporate purposes. The exact timing and terms of the
remainder of the financing will depend upon market conditions and other factors.
There can be no assurance that such financing will occur.
We believe that our cash, current assets, and cash generated from future
operating activities will provide adequate resources to fund our ongoing
operating requirements for the next 12 months. Aside from the pending
acquisition of SMS, we would need to obtain additional financing to fund any
significant acquisitions or other substantial investments.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. We present EBITDA because it considers such information an
important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently
used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the
evaluation of companies with comparable market capitalization to us, many of
which present EBITDA when reporting their results. We also use EBITDA for the
following purposes. EBITDA is one of the factors used to determine the total
amount of bonuses available to be awarded to executive officers and other
employees. Our credit agreement uses EBITDA (with additional adjustments) to
measure compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and debt incurrence.
EBITDA is also used by prospective and current lessors as well as potential
lenders to evaluate potential transactions with us. EBITDA is also widely used
by the Company and other buyers to evaluate and price potential acquisition
candidates.
For the year ended December 31, 2003, our EBITDA was $9,957,000 compared to
$8,832,000 in the Prior Year. Also, please note that EBITDA for the Prior Year
includes credits of $2,796,000 related to the settlement of a dispute with a
software licensor. Management believes the improvement in EBITDA reflects
organic revenue growth combined with the contribution of AmQUEST to our
operations for all of 2003.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in
isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under
GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or
cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (b) EBITDA does not reflect
the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service
interest or principal payments, on our debts; and (c) Although depreciation and
amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized
may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash
requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA
should not be considered as a principal indicator of our performance. We
compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and
using EBITDA only supplementally.

Year.

EBITDA is a measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in
accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance
under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income
(loss) from operating activities or any other performance measures derived in
accordance with GAAP.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
General
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U. S., which require the selection and
application of significant accounting policies, and which require management to
make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are
some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of its accounting
polices.
Revenue Recognition
Our services are provided under a combination of fixed monthly fees and time and
materials billings. Contracts with clients typically range from one to five
years. Revenue is recognized (1) after we have obtained an executed service
contract from the customer (2) as the services are rendered (3) when the price
is fixed as per the service contract and (4) when we believe that collectibility
is reasonably assured based on the credit risk policies and procedures that we
employ.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from
the inability of its 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 may be required.
Tangible and Intangible Assets
We have significant tangible and intangible assets on our balance sheet,
primarily property and equipment, deferred software costs, and intangible
assets, primarily goodwill, related to acquisitions. The assignment of useful
lives to these assets and the valuation and classification of intangible assets
involves significant judgments and the use of estimates. The testing of these
tangible and intangibles under established accounting guidelines for impairment
also requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Our assets are tested
and reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis under the established accounting
guidelines. Changes in business conditions or changes in the decisions of
management as to how assets will be deployed in our operations could potentially
require future adjustments to asset valuations.
PAGE 19
NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends and clarifies financial
accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities
under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified
and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of
this statement had no effect on our operating results or financial position.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". The statement
improves the accounting for three types of financial instruments that were
previously accounted for as equity - mandatory redeemable shares, instruments
that may require the issuer to buy back shares and certain obligations that can
be settled with shares. The statement requires that those instruments be
accounted for as liabilities in the statement of financial position. The
statement is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement had
no affect on our operating results or financial position.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK
We are not significantly exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, foreign
currency fluctuations, or changes in the market values of our investments. We
primarily invest in money market mutual funds or certificates of deposit and
commercial paper issued only by major corporations and financial institutions of
recognized strength and security, and hold all such investments to term. We
generally invest in instruments of no more than 30 days maturity. Our debt is at
a fixed rate of interest, and the carrying amount of long-term debt approximates
fair value based on interest rates that are currently available to us with
similar terms and remaining maturities.
MARKET RISK
Our accounts receivable are subject, in the normal course of business, to
collection risks. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies
and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of collection
risks. As a result, we do not anticipate any material losses in this area.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISKS
We have no significant foreign-source income, and bill foreign customers in U.S.
dollars only.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are set forth beginning

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President
of Finance, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President of Finance, concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2003.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting
that occurred during our last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Infocrossing, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Infocrossing,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 16(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes 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 consolidated financial position of
Infocrossing, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the
related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, on
January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets".
