NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in Form 10-K of Health Benefits Direct Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
Organization
Health Benefits Direct Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was formed in January 2004 for the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating businesses engaged in direct marketing and sale of health and life insurance products, primarily utilizing the Internet and our former call center. Our current operations consist of InsPro Technologies LLC and Insurint Corporation.
During the second quarter of 2009 Atiam Technologies LLC was renamed InsPro Technologies LLC (“InsPro Technologies”). InsPro Technologies is a provider of comprehensive, web-based insurance administration software applications. InsPro Technologies’ flagship software product is InsPro, which was introduced in 2004. InsPro Technologies offers InsPro on a licensed and an ASP (Application Service Provider) basis. InsPro is an insurance administration and marketing system that supports group and individual business lines, and efficiently processes agent, direct market, worksite and web site generated business. InsPro Technologies’ clients include insurance carriers and third party administrators. InsPro Technologies realizes revenue from the sale of software licenses, application service provider fees, software maintenance fees and consulting and implementation services. We acquired InsPro Technologies on October 1, 2007.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Insurint™ is a proprietary, professional-grade, web-based agent portal that aggregates real-time quotes and underwriting information from multiple highly-rated carriers of health and life insurance and related products. We market Insurint using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model instead of software licensing model, which offers easy web-based distribution and pay-as-you-go pricing. We market primarily to insurance agents, agencies, and other organizations selling health insurance products to families and individuals. Unlike existing health insurance quote engines, Insurint also enables an agent to input responses to a set of questions about the health of proposed insureds to place an insurance policy faster and more accurately. In addition, Insurint offers a suite of sales tools that agents can use to increase their overall sales production.
During the first quarter of 2009 we ceased marketing and selling activities in Telesales and sold the majority of our call center-produced agency business to eHealth Insurance Services, Inc. (“eHealth”). Telesales specialized in the direct marketing of health and life insurance and related products to individuals and families. Telesales receives commission and other fees from the insurance companies on behalf of which it sells insurance products for the sale of such products. See Note 2 — Discontinued Operations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, accrued expenses pertaining to abandoned facilities, fair value of financial and equity instruments, and revenue recognition.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all liquid debt instruments with original maturities of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash
The Company considers all cash and cash equivalents held in restricted accounts pertaining to the Company’s letters of credit as restricted cash.
Accounts receivable
The Company has a policy of establishing an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At September 30, 2009, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $3,034.

HEALTH BENEFITS DIRECT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Accounts receivable from the Company’s two largest InsPro Technologies clients as measured by receivable balance accounted for 36% and 9% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2009.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and capital leases approximated fair value as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments and their market interest rates.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of InsPro Technologies and costs incurred in connection with the development of the Company’s software. See Note 4 — Intangible Assets.
The Company’s Insurint subsidiary capitalized certain costs valued in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software. These costs, which consist of direct technology labor costs, are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over expected useful lives. Costs that the Company has incurred in connection with developing the Company’s websites and purchasing domain names are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over an expected useful life.
The Company’s capitalization of software development costs for software used internally begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technology. Capitalized software development costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the software not to exceed three years. We regularly review the carrying value of software development assets and a loss is recognized when the unamortized costs are deemed unrecoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company’s InsPro Technologies subsidiary capitalized certain costs valued in connection with developing or obtaining software for external use. These costs, which consist of direct technology labor costs, are capitalized subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility and until the product is available for general release. Both prior and subsequent costs relating to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Development costs associated with product enhancements that extend the original product’s life or significantly improve the original product’s marketability are also capitalized once technological feasibility has been established. Software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the products not to exceed two years, beginning with the initial release to customers. The Company continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life of the capitalized software development costs should be revised or the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software based on the net realizable value of its software products, as defined by the estimated future revenue from the products less the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of the products, compared to the unamortized capitalized costs of the products. As of September 30, 2009, management believes no revisions to the remaining useful life or additional write-downs of capitalized software development costs are required because the net realizable value of its software products exceeds the unamortized capitalized costs. Management’s estimates about future revenue and costs associated with its software products are subject to risks and uncertainties related to, among other things, market and industry conditions, technological changes, and regulatory factors. A change in estimates could result in an impairment charge related to capitalized software costs.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
See Note 2 — Discontinued Operations.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Loss per common share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents at September 30, 2009 include the following:
         
Convertible preferred stock
    20,000,000  
Options
    5,439,148  
Warrants
    51,566,887  
 
       
 
    77,006,035  
 
       
Revenue recognition
We follow the guidance of the Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
InsPro Technologies offers InsPro on a licensed and an application service provider (“ASP”) basis. An InsPro software license entitles the purchaser a perpetual license to a copy of the InsPro software installed at a single client location. Alternatively, ASP hosting service enables a client to lease the InsPro software, paying only for that capacity required to support their business. ASP clients access InsPro installed on InsPro Technologies owned servers located at InsPro Technologies’ offices or at a third party’s site.
InsPro Technologies’ software maintenance fees apply to both licensed and ASP clients. Maintenance fees cover periodic updates to the application and the InsPro help desk.
InsPro Technologies’ consulting and implementation services are generally associated with the implementation of an InsPro instance for either an ASP or licensed client, and cover such activity as InsPro installation, configuration, modification of InsPro functionality, client insurance plan set-up, client insurance document design and system documentation.
Insurint Corporation offers Insurint™, which is a proprietary, professional-grade, web-based agent portal that aggregates real-time quotes and underwriting information from multiple highly-rated carriers of health and life insurance and related products. Insurint typically charges its clients a one time account set up fee, which is recognized as earned when collected and the service has been provided, and recurring access fees, which are typically monthly in frequency and are recognized as the service is provided.

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company recognizes revenue from software license agreements when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company considers fees relating to arrangements with payment terms extending beyond one year to not be fixed or determinable and revenue for these arrangements is recognized as payments become due from the customer. In software arrangements that include more than one InsPro module, the Company allocates the total arrangement fee among the modules based on the relative fair value of each of the modules.
License revenue allocated to software products generally is recognized upon delivery of the products or deferred and recognized in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and for which fair values have not been established. Revenue allocated to maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the maintenance term and revenue allocated to training and other service elements is recognized as the services are performed.
The unearned portion of InsPro Technologies’ and Insurint’s revenue, which is revenue collected or billed but not yet recognized as earned, has been included in the consolidated balance sheet as a liability for deferred revenue.
See Note 2 — Discontinued Operations for revenue recognition for discontinued operations.
Advertising and other marketing expense
Advertising expense pertains to the development and distribution of brand and product advertising. Other marketing includes professional marketing services. Advertising and other marketing are expensed as incurred.
Concentrations of credit risk
The Company maintains its cash and restricted cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, exceed the federally insured limits of $250,000 per account. At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $1,241,290 in United States bank deposits, which exceeded federally insured limits. Federally insured limits have been increased from $100,000 to $250,000 per account through December 31, 2013. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through September 30, 2009.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, approximately 46% and 22% of the Company’s revenue was earned from each of the Company’s two largest InsPro Technologies clients.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation transactions using a fair-value-based method and recognizes compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied.

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Non-employee stock based compensation
The cost of stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied.
Registration rights agreements
The Company classifies as liability instruments the fair value of registration rights agreements when such agreements (i) require it to file, and cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act, a registration statement with the Commission within contractually fixed time periods, and (ii) provide for the payment of liquidating damages in the event of its failure to comply with such agreements. Registration rights with these characteristics are accounted for as derivative financial instruments at fair value and (ii) contracts that are (a) indexed to and potentially settled in an issuer’s own stock and (b) permit gross physical or net share settlement with no net cash settlement alternative are classified as equity instruments.
At September 30, 2009, the Company does not believe that it is probable that the Company will incur a penalty in connection with registration rights agreements, which we entered into in connection with the 2008 and 2009 private placements. Accordingly no liability was recorded as of September 30, 2009.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of this guidance for one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities. As of January 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance for all non-financial assets and all non-financial liabilities. There is no impact on our financial statements as of September 30, 2009. In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance in the Business Combinations Topic of the Codification. This guidance requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date fair values including contingent consideration. In addition, this guidance changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from preacquisition contingencies and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. The guidance applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. Any impact would be on future acquisitions.

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance in the Consolidation Topic of the Codification on the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This guidance clarifies the classification of noncontrolling interests in consolidated statements of financial position and the accounting for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity and holders of such noncontrolling interests. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2008 and is required to be adopted prospectively, except for the reclassification of noncontrolling interests to equity and the recasting of net income (loss) attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interests, which are required to be adopted retrospectively. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. There is no impact on our financial statements as of September 30, 2009.
In April 2008, the FASB issued guidance in the Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification on the determination of the useful life of an intangible asset. This guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. There is no impact on our financial statements as of September 30, 2009.
In June 2008, FASB issued guidance in the Earnings Per Share Topic of the Codification on determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. The guidance clarified that all unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and provides guidance on how to compute basic EPS under the two-class method. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009 and it had no impact on our financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. The guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. The guidance provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value. The guidance is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance effective for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. There is no impact of the adoption on our financial statements as of September 30, 2009.
In April 2009, FASB issued guidance in the Financial Instruments Topic of the Codification on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. The guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for both interim reporting periods, as well as annual reporting periods. The guidance is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our financial statements as of September 30, 2009.

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In May 2009, FASB issued guidance in the Subsequent Events Topic of the Codification. The guidance is intended to establish general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. The guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is required to be adopted prospectively. We adopted this guidance effective for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our financial statements as of September 30, 2009, other than the additional disclosure.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance which will amend the Consolidation Topic of the Codification. The guidance addresses the effects of eliminating the qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) concept and responds to concerns over the transparency of enterprises’ involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs). The guidance is effective beginning on January 1, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (ASU 2009-05). ASU 2009-05 amends the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification by providing additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at fair value. ASU 2009-05 is effective for us for the reporting period ending December 31, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have an impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 2 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company ceased the direct marketing and sale of health and life insurance and related products to individuals and families in its Telesales call center. The Company also determined to discontinue selling health and life insurance and related products to individuals and families through its non employee ISG agents. During the first quarter of 2009 the Company’s Telesales business segment eliminated 43 positions including all of its licensed employee sales agents along with other Telesales service and support personnel and eliminated another 20 positions in Telesales through attrition.
On February 20, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into and completed the sale of the Company’s Telesales call center produced agency business (the “Agency Business”) to eHealth, an unaffiliated third party, pursuant to the terms of a Client Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Agreement the Company transferred to eHealth the broker of record status and the right to receive commissions on certain of the in-force individual and family major medial health insurance policies and ancillary dental, life and vision insurance policies issued by Aetna, Inc., Golden Rule, Humana, PacifiCare, Inc., Assurant and United Healthcare Insurance Co. (collectively, the “Specified Carriers”) on which the Company was designated as broker of record as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Transferred Policies” and each, a “Transferred Policy”). Certain policies and products were excluded from the transaction, including the Company’s agency business generated through its ISG agents, all short term medical products and all business produced through carriers other than the Specified Carriers. In addition, the Agreement also provides for the transfer to eHealth of certain lead information relating to health insurance prospects (the “Lead Database”).

NOTE 2 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (continued)
The aggregate initial amount of consideration paid by eHealth to the Company pursuant to the Agreement during the first quarter of 2009 was approximately $1,280,000. In addition, on the Closing Date, eHealth agreed to assume from the Company certain liabilities relating to historical commission advances on the Transferred Policies made by the Specified Carriers in an aggregate amount of approximately $1,385,000. In addition, eHealth has agreed to pay to HBDC II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“HBDC II”) a portion of each commission payment received by eHealth and reported by the Specified Carrier relating to a Transferred Policy for the duration of the policy, provided that eHealth remains broker of record on such Transferred Policy.
Simultaneous with the execution of the Agreement, the Company and eHealth also entered into a Marketing and Referral Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2009 (the “Referral Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Referral Agreement, eHealth agreed to construct one or more websites for the purpose of selling health insurance products (the “Referral Sites”) and to pay to HBDC II a portion of all first year and renewal commissions received by eHealth from policies sold through the Referral Sites that result from marketing to prospects using the Lead Database or other leads delivered by the Company to eHealth. The Referral Agreement is scheduled to terminate 18 months following the Closing Date and is terminable by the Company or eHealth upon material breach by the other party.
Revenue Recognition for Discontinued Operations
Our Telesales business segment generates revenue primarily from the receipt of commissions paid to the Company by insurance companies based upon the insurance policies sold to consumers by the Company. These revenues are in the form of first year, bonus and renewal commissions that vary by company and product. We recognize commission revenue primarily from the sale of health insurance, after we receive notice that the insurance company has received payment of the related premium. First year commission revenues per policy can fluctuate due to changing premiums, commission rates, and types or amount of insurance sold. Insurance premium commission revenues are recognized pro-rata over the terms of the policies. Revenues for renewal commissions are recognized after we receive notice that the insurance company has received payment for a renewal premium. Renewal commission rates are significantly less than first year commission rates and may not be offered by every insurance company or with respect to certain types of products. The unearned portion of premium commissions has been included in the consolidated balance sheet as a liability for unearned commission advances.
The length of time between when we submit a consumer’s application for insurance to an insurance company and when we recognize revenue varies. The type of insurance product, the insurance company’s premium billing and collection process, and the insurance company’s underwriting backlog are the primary factors that impact the length of time between submitted applications and revenue recognition. Any changes in the amount of time between submitted application and revenue recognition, which are influenced by many factors not under our control, create fluctuations in our operating results and could affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company received bonuses based upon individual criteria set by insurance companies, which we recognize when we receive notification from the insurance company of the bonus due to us.

NOTE 2 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (continued)
The Company receives fees for the placement and issuance of insurance policies that are in addition to, and separate from, any sales commissions paid by insurance companies. As these policy fees are not refundable and the Company has no continuing obligation, all such revenues are recognized on the effective date of the policies or, in certain cases, the billing date, whichever is later.
During the first quarter of 2009 the Company recognized a gain upon the execution of the Agreement of $2,664,794, which is the sum of the aggregate initial amount of consideration paid by eHealth to the Company and eHealth’s assumption of certain liabilities relating to historical commission advances on the Transferred Policies.
The Company recognizes as revenue commission payments received from eHealth in connection with the Agreement upon the Company’s notification by eHealth of such amounts.
The Company generated revenue from the sale of leads to third parties. Such revenues are recognized when the Company delivers the leads and bills the purchaser of the leads.
The Company also generated revenue from the sub-lease of our leased New York City office and a portion of our leased Deerfield Beach Florida office, which are both leased under operating leases. The terms of the Company’s sub-lease of our New York City office is under similar terms as our lease. The Company sub-leases portions of our Deerfield Beach office to two unaffiliated parties through January 31, 2010. Sub-lease revenue includes base rent, additional rent representing a portion of occupancy expenses under the terms of the sub-leases and certain technology and facility services provided. We recognize sub-lease revenue when lease rent payments are due in accordance with the sub-lease agreements. Recognition of sub-lease revenue commences when control of the facility has been given to the tenant. We record a provision for losses on accounts receivable equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. This estimate is based on our historical experience and a review of the current status of the Company’s receivables.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
During the first quarter of 2009 we determined certain long term assets were impaired as a result of the cessation of direct marketing and sales in the Telesales call center. The Company recorded expense in 2009 to write-off the value of these long term assets in the results from discontinued operations, which included property and equipment net of depreciation of $416,764, intangible assets net of accumulated amortization acquired from ISG of $1,200,428 and the value of internet domain name www.healthbenefitsdirect.com net of accumulated amortization of $22,389.
On July 1, 2009 the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party, effective July 15, 2009 which terminated an existing sub-lease agreement for approximately 8,000 square feet of the Company’s Deerfield Beach office and replaced it with a sub-lease agreement for approximately 29,952 square feet. This new sub-lease terminates on February 28, 2011. As part of the sub-lease agreement, the Company also agreed to lease certain personal property to the sub-lessee for the term of the lease. The sub-lessee agreed to pay the Company 20 monthly payments of $10,890 for such personal property and the Company has agreed to deliver to the sub-lessee a bill of sale for the leased personal property at the end of the term. The Company has accounted for this personal property sub-lease arrangement as a sale and recorded a gain of $217,501.

NOTE 6 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)
On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “2008 Purchase Agreements”) with certain institutional and individual accredited investors (collectively, the “2008 Investors”) and completed a private placement (the “2008 Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the 2008 Purchase Agreement, the Company sold investment units (each, a “2008 Unit”) at a per unit purchase price equal to $0.80. Each 2008 Unit sold in the 2008 Private Placement consisted of one share of common stock and a Warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.80 per share, subject to adjustment (the “2008 Warrant”). The gross proceeds from the 2008 Private Placement were $5,000,000 and we incurred $70,238 of legal and other expenses in connection with the 2008 Private Placement.
On March 31, 2008, 75,000 restricted shares of common stock issued to Ivan M. Spinner, the Company’s former Senior Vice President, were forfeited in accordance with the terms of the restricted stock grant. The forfeiture was accounted for as retirement of 75,000 shares valued at $225,000 based on the fair market value on the date of grant and recorded as a reduction to salaries, commission and related taxes, net effects are included in amortization of deferred compensation.
On April 1, 2008, the Company issued 99,010 restricted shares of its common stock to Mr. Edmond Walters upon the effective date of his becoming a director of the Company in accordance with the Company’s Non Employee Director Compensation Plan and the Company’s 2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan. Mr. Walters was granted shares valued at $100,000 in aggregate based on the $1.01 closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB on April 1, 2008, and will vest as follows: 33,003 shares on April 1, 2008; 33,003 additional shares on April 1, 2009; 33,004 shares on April 1, 2010. Pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, Mr. Walters has voting, dividend and distribution rights pertaining to his unvested shares, but he is restricted from selling or otherwise disposing of his restricted shares until vesting occurs.
2009
Effective March 25, 2009, our shareholders approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 90,000,000 shares to 200,000,000.
As a result, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment was approved by the Company’s board of directors on January 12, 2009 and became effective upon filing on March 25, 2009. Upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, all outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock became immediately convertible, at the election of each holder, into twenty shares of the Company’s common stock and the 2009 Warrants (as defined below) issued in the 2009 Private Placement (as defined below) automatically became exercisable for twenty shares of common stock and are no longer exercisable into Preferred Shares (as defined below).

Preferred Stock
On January 14, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Designation was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 12, 2009 and became effective upon filing. The Certificate of Designation provides for the terms of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) issued pursuant to the 2009 Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
On January 14, 2009, the Company entered into and, on January 15, 2009 completed, a private placement (the “2009 Private Placement”) with Co-Investment Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Co-Investment” or the “Investor”), for an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (each, a “Preferred Share”) of its Preferred Stock, par and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its Preferred Stock (each, a “Preferred Warrant Share”), pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2009 Purchase Agreement”). The gross proceeds from the closing were $4 million and the Company intends to use the net proceeds of the 2009 Private Placement for working capital purposes.
Pursuant to the 2009 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Co-Investment 1,000,000 investment units (each, a “2009 Unit”) in the 2009 Private Placement at a per 2009 Unit purchase price equal to $4.00. Each 2009 Unit sold in the 2009 Private Placement consisted of one share of Preferred Stock and a Warrant to purchase one share of Preferred Stock at an initial exercise price of $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “2009 Warrant”).
The Preferred Stock is entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock, with each Share of Preferred Stock having the right to 20 votes. Upon the liquidation, sale or merger of the Company, each Share of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount equal to the greater of (A) a liquidation preference equal to two and a half (2.5) times the Preferred Stock original issue price or $10,000,000, subject to certain customary adjustments, or (B) the amount such Share of Preferred Stock would receive if it participated pari passu with the holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. Each Share of Preferred Stock becomes convertible into 20 shares of common stock (the “Shares”), subject to adjustment and at the option of the holder of the Preferred Stock, immediately after shareholder approval of the Charter Amendment (as defined below). For so long as any shares of Preferred Stocks are outstanding, the vote or consent of the Holders of at least two-thirds of the Preferred Stock is required to approve (Y) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws that would adversely alter the voting powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred Stock or (Z) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to create any shares of capital stock that rank senior to the Preferred Stock. In addition to the voting rights described above, for so long as 1,000,000 Shares of Preferred Stocks are outstanding, the vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Shares of Preferred Stock is required to effect or validate any merger, sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or other fundamental transaction, unless such transaction, when consummated, will provide the holders of Preferred Stock with an amount per share equal to two and a half (2.5) times the Preferred Stock original issue price or $10,000,000 in aggregate for all issued and outstanding Preferred Stock.

The Company was required, under the terms of the 2009 Purchase Agreement, to file a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) and hold a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) within 75 days of the effective date of the 2009 Purchase Agreement for the purpose of approving a certificate of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the total number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 90,000,000 to 200,000,000 (the “Charter Amendment”). Under the terms of the 2009 Purchase Agreement, Co-Investment agreed to vote all Preferred Shares and shares of common stock beneficially owned by it in favor of the Charter Amendment at the Special Meeting. The Company filed a Proxy Statement and on March 25, 2009 held a Special Meeting of shareholders whereby shareholders voted and approved the Charter Amendment.
The Company also agreed, pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Purchase Agreement, that, except for the Follow-on Financing, for a period of 90 days after the effective date (the “Initial Standstill”) of the 2009 Purchase Agreement, the Company shall not, subject to certain exceptions, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of any equity securities or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, capital stock and other securities of the Company (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”). Additionally, the Company has agreed with Co-Investment that, for an additional 90 day period following the Initial Standstill, it shall not engage in any Subsequent Placement without the prior written consent of Co-Investment, if such Subsequent Placement seeks to raise less than $15 million.
The 2009 Purchase Agreement also provides for a customary participation right for Co-Investment, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, which grants Co-Investment the right to participate in any future capital raising financings of the Company occurring prior to January 14, 2011. Co-Investment may participate in such financings at a level based on Co-Investment’s ownership percentage of the Company on a fully-diluted basis prior to such financing.
The Company allocated the $4,000,000 proceeds received from the 2009 Private Placement net of $45,617 of costs incurred to complete 2009 Private Placement to the Preferred Shares and 2009 Warrants based on their relative fair values, which were determined to have a fair value in aggregate of $3,758,306. The Company determined the 2009 Warrants are properly classified as an equity instrument. The Company recorded the value of the Preferred Shares as $1,983,984 and the value of the 2009 Warrants as $1,960,399 in additional paid in capital. The Company determined the fair value of the Preferred Shares to be $1,900,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 15, 2009 and the 20 to 1 conversion ratio of the Preferred Shares into Common Shares. The Company determined the fair value of the 2009 Warrants to be $1,812,867 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 192%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.12%, an expected term of 5 years and 0% dividend yield.

In addition, if the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the offering of such securities for cash, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each holder of Registrable Securities notice of such intent, and such holders shall have the option to register their Registrable Securities on such additional registration statement. The 2009 Registration Rights Agreement also provides for payment of partial damages to the Investor under certain circumstances relating to failure to file or obtain or maintain effectiveness of the Registration Statement, subject to adjustment.

Guarantee of Indebtedness by the Company to Third Parties Pertaining to Unearned Commission Advances Paid to Non-employee ISG Agents
The Company is a party to sales and marketing agreements whereby the Company has guaranteed the repayment of unearned commission advances paid directly from third parties including certain of the Company’s insurance carriers to the Company’s non-employee ISG agents. Under these agreements certain third parties pay commissions directly to the Company’s non-employee ISG agents and such payments include advances of first year premium commissions before the commissions are earned. Unearned commission advances from the Company’s insurance carriers to the Company’s non-employee ISG agents are earned after the insurance company has received payment of the related premium. In the event that the insurance company does not receive payment of the related premium pertaining to an unearned commission advance the third parties generally deduct the unearned commission advance from its commission payments to the Company’s non-employee ISG agents in the form of charge-backs. In the event that commission payments from these third parties to the Company’s non-employee ISG agents do not exceed the charge-backs; these third parties may deduct the unearned commission advance to non-employee ISG agents from their payments to the Company or demand repayment of the non-employee ISG agents’ unearned commission balance from the Company. The current amount of the unearned commission advances these third parties to the Company’s non-employee ISG agents, which is the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make to these third parties, is estimated to be approximately $643,000 as of September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009 the Company has recorded a liability of $53,677 in accrued expenses for the estimated amount the Company anticipates it will pay pertaining to these guarantees. Unearned commission advances from these third parties are collateralized by the future commission payments to the non-employee ISG agents and to the Company. The Company has recourse against certain non-employee ISG agents in the event the Company must pay the unearned commission advances.
Litigation
On August 7, 2008, a former employee of the Company (the “Plaintiff”) filed a putative collective action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, case no. 08-CV-61254-Ungaro-Simonton. The case alleges that the Company and three co-defendants, who are former officers of the Company, unlawfully failed to pay overtime to its insurance sales agents in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Plaintiff purported to bring claims on behalf of a class of current and former insurance sales agents who were classified as non-exempt by the Company and compensated at an hourly rate, plus commissions (“Agents”). On October 16, 2008, the Court conditionally certified a collective action under the FLSA covering all Agents who worked for the Company within the last three years. Plaintiff and all Agents who opt to participate in the collective action seek payment from the Company of compensation for all overtime hours worked at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay, liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. On March 2, 2009, the parties reached an agreement to settle this case. On April 21, 2009, the Court entered an Order of Final Dismissal with Prejudice. As of December 31, 2008 the Company recorded $200,000 of expense in gain (loss) from discontinued operations, which represented the estimated cost of the settlement. As of September 30, 2009 the Company recorded an additional $9,073 of expense in gain (loss) from discontinued operations, which represents the cost of the settlement.

On August 28, 2008, one of the Company’s former employees, the plaintiff, filed a national class action complaint in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Broward County, case no. 062008 CA 042798 XXX CE, alleging that the Company breached a contract with employees by failing to provide certain commissions and/or bonuses. The complaint also contained claims for an accounting and for declaratory relief relating to the alleged compensation agreement. The plaintiff purported to bring these claims on behalf of a class of current and former insurance sales agents. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In response, at the hearing on the Company’s Motion to Dismiss, the plaintiff stated that he would amend the complaint. The amended complaint is no longer pled as a class action but, instead, includes 64 named plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek payment from the Company of all commissions allegedly owed to them, triple damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. The Company has filed an answer to the amended complaint denying any breach of contract. The Company also asserted counterclaims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment against 50 of the plaintiffs, for recovery of overpaid commissions that were advanced to those plaintiffs but never earned. Presently, the parties are engaging in the exchange of discovery requests and responses. The Company believes that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against their claims and prosecute the Company’s counterclaims.
On March 24, 2009, certain of the Company’s shareholders filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 650174/2009, against the Company, its board of directors, two of the Company’s investors and the investors’ affiliates relating to alleged offers the Company purportedly received in 2008 and a private placement transaction conducted in January 2009. The plaintiffs alleged that the members of the Company’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in responding to the offers received in 2008 and in connection with the private placement transaction conducted in January 2009. The complaint also contained claims for unjust enrichment against certain directors whom plaintiffs claim are “interested” and claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against one of the Company’s shareholders, Cross Atlantic Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates. The plaintiffs sought to rescind and cancel the private placement, enjoin the board of directors from undertaking certain measures and remove certain directors from the board. The plaintiffs also sought money judgments in an amount not less than $10,000,000, plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and accounts and experts’ fees. On May 29, 2009, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. The motion was granted on August 13, 2009 on forum non conveniens grounds. On August 14, 2009, a writ of summons was filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County No. 090801764 against the Company, its board of directors, two of its investors and the investors’ affiliates by the same shareholders who brought the New York action and seven additional shareholders. On October 27, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the shareholders who brought the New York action in which they agreed to withdraw from the Philadelphia litigation and provided a general release of all claims against the Company, its board of directors and the other defendants. The terms of this settlement agreement required Co-Investment to purchase all of the shares of common stock held by the settling plaintiffs (which amounted to 6,108,997 shares). Since the settlement did not include all of the plaintiffs in the suit filed in Philadelphia County, that action has not been dismissed.

NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 27, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with certain shareholder plaintiffs who had filed an action against the Company, its board of directors, two of the Company’s investors and the investors’ affiliates relating to an alleged breach of fiduciary duties. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the plaintiffs agreed to withdraw from the pending litigation in Philadelphia County and provided a general release of all claims against the Company, its board of directors and the other defendants. The terms of this settlement agreement also required Co-Investment to purchase all of the shares of common stock held by the settling plaintiffs, which amounted to 6,108,997 shares. As a result of this purchase, Co-Investment now holds voting securities of the Company providing it with the right to cast approximately 53% of the votes on matters presented for a vote by the Company’s stockholders.
On October 28, 2009, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 relating to a rights offering of up to $8 million in “units,” with each unit consisting of 625 shares of the Company’s common stock, 125 shares of Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These units are available, on a pro rata basis, to the Company’s existing shareholders for a subscription price of $1,000 per unit. The Company’s board of directors approved this rights offering for the purpose of raising capital to finance the Company’s operating activities while giving all holders of the Company’s common stock and Preferred Stock the opportunity to participate in an equity investment in the Company on the same economic terms as the Company’s last two private placements in March 2008 and January 2009.

Any such subscription by Co-Investment would be for no more than the number of units that would result in the issuance of $3 million in units in the rights offering. If shareholders other than Co-Investment Fund subscribe for at least $3 million in units, then Co-Investment will agree not to exercise any of its subscription rights in this offering.
There can be no assurance that any of the Company’s shareholders will subscribe for any units in the rights offering, nor that the Company will complete the rights offering, and the Company is unable, at this time, to ascertain the amount of proceeds it will generate in the rights offering.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
The current operations of Health Benefits Direct Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) consist of InsPro Technologies LLC and Insurint Corporation.
     InsPro is a comprehensive, web-based insurance administration software application. InsPro was introduced by Atiam Technologies, L.P. (now our InsPro Technologies, LLC subsidiary) in 2004. InsPro clients include health insurance carriers and third party administrators. Unlike our Insurint platform, we market InsPro as a licensed software application, and we realize revenue from the sale of the software licenses, application service provider fees, software maintenance fees and consulting and implementation services.
     Insurint™ is a proprietary, professional-grade, web-based agent portal that aggregates real-time quotes and underwriting information from multiple highly-rated carriers of health and life insurance and related products. We market Insurint using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model instead of software licensing model, which offers easy web-based distribution and pay-as-you-go pricing. We market Insurint primarily to insurance agents, agencies, and other organizations selling health insurance products to families and individuals. Unlike existing health insurance quote engines, Insurint also enables an agent to input responses to a set of questions about the health of proposed insureds, which enables the agent to place an insurance policy faster and more accurately. In addition, Insurint offers a suite of sales tools that agents can use to increase their overall sales production.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates — Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and long-lived assets such as intangible assets. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates in 2009 and 2008 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, accrued expenses pertaining to abandoned facilities and revenue recognition. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

InsPro Technologies offers InsPro on a licensed and an application service provider (“ASP”) basis. An InsPro software license entitles the purchaser a perpetual license to a copy of the InsPro software installed at a single client location, which may be used to drive a production and model office instance of the application. The ASP Hosting Service enables a client to lease the InsPro software, paying only for that capacity required to support their business. ASP clients access an instance of InsPro installed on InsPro Technologies owned servers located at InsPro Technologies’ offices or at a third party’s site.
Software maintenance fees apply to both licensed and ASP clients. Maintenance fees cover periodic updates to the application and the InsPro Help Desk.
Consulting and implementation services are generally associated with the implementation of an InsPro instance for either an ASP or licensed client, and cover such activity as InsPro installation, configuration, modification of InsPro functionality, client insurance plan set-up, client insurance document design, and system documentation.
Insurint Corporation offers Insurint™, which is a proprietary, professional-grade, web-based agent portal that aggregates real-time quotes and underwriting information from multiple highly-rated carriers of health and life insurance and related products. Insurint typically charges its clients a one time account set up fee, which is recognized as earned when collected and the service has been provided, and recurring access fees, which are typically monthly in frequency and are recognized as the service is provided.
The Company recognizes revenues from software license agreements is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company considers fees relating to arrangements with payment terms extending beyond one year to not be fixed or determinable and revenue for these arrangements is recognized as payments become due from the customer. In software arrangements that include more than one InsPro module, the Company allocates the total arrangement fee among the modules based on the relative fair value of each of the modules.
License revenue allocated to software products generally is recognized upon delivery of the products or deferred and recognized in future periods to the extent that an arrangement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and for which fair values have not been established. Revenue allocated to maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the maintenance term and revenue allocated to training and other service elements is recognized as the services are performed.
The unearned portion of InsPro Technologies’ and Insurint’s revenue, which is revenue collected or billed but not yet recognized as earned, has been included in the consolidated balance sheet as a liability for deferred revenue.
We review the carrying value of property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2009 (“Third Quarter 2009”), we earned revenues of $1,475,696 compared to $1,426,160 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 (“Third Quarter 2008”), an increase of $49,536 or 3%. Revenues include the following:
                 
    For the Three Months Ended September 30,  
    2009     2008  
Consulting and implementation services
  $ 831,701     $ 988,564  
ASP revenue
    371,143       287,276  
Maintenance revenue
    144,500       117,000  
License revenue
    87,500        
Other technology fees
    31,526       33,320  
Sub-leasing revenue
    9,326        
 
           
 
               
Total
  $ 1,475,696     $ 1,426,160  
 
           
    The decrease in consulting and implementation services in Third Quarter 2009 as compared to Third Quarter 2008 is attributable to a decrease in work modification enhancements and data conversion required for clients. Consulting and implementation services are from seven InsPro clients. Implementation services provided to these clients included assisting clients in setting up their insurance products in InsPro, providing modifications to InsPro’s functionality to support the client’s business, interfacing InsPro with the client’s other systems, automation of client correspondence to their customers and data conversion from the client’s existing systems to InsPro.
 
    In Third Quarter 2009 we earned ASP revenue from seven InsPro clients. The increase in ASP revenue in Third Quarter 2009 as compared to Third Quarter 2008 is due to the implementation of two new ASP agreements. ASP hosting service enables a client to lease the InsPro software, paying only for that capacity required to support their business. ASP clients access InsPro installed on InsPro Technologies owned servers located at InsPro Technologies’ offices or at a third party’s site.
 
    In Third Quarter 2009 we earned maintenance revenues from four clients compared to two clients in Third Quarter 2008.
 
    In Third Quarter 2009 we earned license revenue from a single existing client, which represent the delivery of contractually agreed to modifications to previously installed InsPro modules.
 
    In Third Quarter 2009 we earned Sub-leasing revenue of $9,326 from the sub leasing of space in our Radnor office, which commenced in the first quarter of 2009.

The primary reason for the increase in operating expenses is attributable to an increase in InsPro Technologies’ staffing and technology consultants needed to support additional client requirements and planned growth. Total operating expenses consisted of the following:
                 
       
    For the Three Months Ended September 30,  
    2009     2008

In Third Quarter 2009 we incurred salaries, employee benefits and related taxes of $1,805,213 as compared to $1,587,203 for Third Quarter 2008, an increase of $218,010 or 14%. Salaries, commission and related taxes consisted of the following:
                 
    For the Three Months Ended  
    September 30,  
    2009     2008

Page 40


 

    Share based employee and director compensation expense was $74,976 in Third Quarter 2009 as compared to $169,290 in Third Quarter 2008, a decrease of $94,314 or 56%. The decrease is primarily attributable to the vesting of stock grants and options to directors and employees. Share based employee and director compensation consist of stock option and restricted stock grants, which are valued at fair-value at the date of the grant and expensed over the stock option’s vesting period or the duration of employment, whichever is shorter.
 
    Employee benefits and payroll taxes increased as a result of the hiring of additional staff in InsPro Technologies. Our employee benefit cost consists of the company paid portion of group medical, dental and life insurance coverage and partial company matching of employee contributions to a 401(k) plan. The increase was the result of an increase in InsPro Technologies’ and Insurint’s staffing.
Advertising and other marketing in Third Quarter 2009 was $90,814 as compared to $6,171 in Third Quarter 2008. The increase was due to the use of outside agencies for services rendered in connection with the development of InsPro Technologies’ marketing strategy including creating the corporate brand and message and redesign of all sales and marketing material, company web site, brochures and sales presentation.
Depreciation and amortization expense consisted of the following:

    In Third Quarter 2009 we had an increase in legal fees as compared to Third Quarter 2008, which was primarily due to legal costs incurred in connection with the settlement of litigation with the shareholders who brought action against the Company in New York in which the plaintiffs agreed to withdraw from the litigation and provided a general release of all claims against the Company, its board of directors and the other defendants.
 
    In Third Quarter 2009 we had an increase in technology fees as compared to Third Quarter 2008, which was attributable to an increase in technology consultants needed to support additional InsPro client requirements.

Page 42


 

    All other consulting consists of recruiting, investor relations and general management consulting expense, which decreased as a result of expense reduction actions in all three areas.
In Third Quarter 2009 we incurred other general and administrative expenses of $372,011 as compared to $337,786 in Third Quarter 2008, an increase of $34,225 or 10%. Other general and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

During the first quarter of 2009, we ceased the direct marketing and sale of health and life insurance and related products to individuals and families in its Telesales call center. We also discontinued the sale of health and life insurance and related products to individuals and families through our non employee ISG agents. During the first quarter of 2009 our Telesales business segment eliminated 43 positions including all of its licensed employee sales agents along with other Telesales service and support personnel and eliminated another 20 positions in Telesales through attrition.
On February 20, 2009, we completed the sale of our Telesales call center produced agency business to eHealth, an unaffiliated third party.

Page 44


 

Under the terms of our sale to eHealth, we transferred to eHealth broker of record status and the right to receive commissions on certain of the in-force individual and family major medical health insurance policies and ancillary dental, life and vision insurance policies issued by Aetna, Inc., Golden Rule, Humana, PacifiCare, Inc., Assurant and United Healthcare Insurance Co. on which we were designated as broker of record. Certain policies and products were excluded from the transaction, including our agency business generated through our ISG agents, all short term medical products and all business produced through carriers other than those noted above. In addition, we also transferred to eHealth certain lead information relating to health insurance prospects.
The aggregate initial amount of consideration paid by eHealth to us during the first quarter of 2009 was approximately $1,280,000. In addition, eHealth assumed from us certain liabilities relating to historical commission advances on the transferred policies made by the specified carriers in an aggregate amount of approximately $1,385,000. eHealth has also agreed to pay to HBDC II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, a portion of each commission payment received by eHealth and reported by the specified carrier relating to a transferred policy for the duration of the policy, provided that eHealth remains broker of record on such transferred policy.
Simultaneous with the sale to eHealth, we also entered into a Marketing and Referral Agreement with eHealth. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, eHealth agreed to construct one or more websites for the purpose of selling health insurance products and to pay to HBDC II a portion of all first year and renewal commissions received by eHealth from policies sold through the Referral Sites that result from marketing to prospects using the lead database or other leads delivered by us to eHealth. This agreement is scheduled to terminate in August 2010 and is terminable by us or eHealth upon material breach by the other party.
Revenue Recognition for Discontinued Operations
Our Telesales business segment generates revenue primarily from the receipt of commissions paid to us by insurance companies based upon the insurance policies we sell to consumers. These revenues are in the form of first year, bonus and renewal commissions that vary by company and product. We recognize commission revenue primarily from the sale of health insurance, after we receive notice that the insurance company has received payment of the related premium. First year commission revenues per policy can fluctuate due to changing premiums, commission rates, and types or amount of insurance sold. Insurance premium commission revenues are recognized pro-rata over the terms of the policies. Revenues for renewal commissions are recognized after we receive notice that the insurance company has received payment for a renewal premium. Renewal commission rates are significantly less than first year commission rates and may not be offered by every insurance company or with respect to certain types of products. The unearned portion of premium commissions has been included in the consolidated balance sheet as a liability for unearned commission advances.
The length of time between when we submit a consumer’s application for insurance to an insurance company and when we recognize revenue varies. The type of insurance product, the insurance company’s premium billing and collection process, and the insurance company’s underwriting backlog are the primary factors that impact the length of time between submitted applications and revenue recognition. Any changes in the amount of time between submitted application and revenue recognition, which are influenced by many factors not under our control, create fluctuations in our operating results and could affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We receive bonuses based upon individual criteria set by insurance companies, which vary over time and generally do not extend beyond the current calendar year. We recognize bonus revenues when we receive notification from the insurance company of the bonus due to us.

Page 45


 

We receive fees for the placement and issuance of insurance policies that are in addition to, and separate from, any sales commissions paid by insurance companies. As these policy fees are not refundable and we have no continuing obligation, all such revenues are recognized on the effective date of the policies or, in certain cases, the billing date, whichever is later.
We also generate revenue from the sub-lease of our leased New York City office and a portion of our leased Deerfield Beach Florida office, which are both leased under operating leases. The terms of the sub-lease of our New York City office is under similar terms as our lease. We sub-lease portions of our Deerfield Beach office to two unaffiliated parties through January 31, 2010. Sub-lease revenue includes base rent, additional rent representing a portion of occupancy expenses under the terms of the sub-leases and certain technology and facility services provided. We recognize sub-lease revenue when lease rent payments are due in accordance with the sub-lease agreements. Recognition of sub-lease revenue commences when control of the facility has been given to the tenant. We record a provision for losses on accounts receivable equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. This estimate is based on our historical experience and a review of the current status of our receivables.
We recorded a liability for severance payments due to employees of discontinued operations of $278,030 and $266,740 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
For Third Quarter 2009 we earned revenues in discontinued operations of $1,401,341 compared to $4,289,859 in the Third Quarter 2008, a decrease of $2,888,518 or 67%. Revenues include the following:
    During the Third Quarter 2009 we recognized commission and other revenue from carriers of $251,023 as compared to $4,100,158 in Third Quarter 2008. The decrease is primarily the result of the execution of the agreement with eHealth whereby we no longer receives commission revenue on transferred policies effective on or about February 1, 2009. We continue to receive commissions from carriers other than specified carriers and commissions on policies other than transferred policies.
 
    During the Third Quarter 2009 we recognized $606,424 from commission payments from eHealth subsequent to the sale of our agency business. We recognize as revenue commission payments received from eHealth upon our notification by eHealth of such amounts.
 
    During the Third Quarter 2009 we recognized a gain on disposal of property and equipment of $217,601. On July 1, 2009 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party, effective July 15, 2009 which terminated an existing sub-lease agreement for approximately 8,000 square feet of our Deerfield Beach office and replaced it with a sub-lease agreement for approximately 29,952 square feet. This new sub-lease terminates on February 28, 2011. As part of the sub-lease agreement, we also agreed to lease certain personal property to the sub-lessee for the term of the lease. The sub-lessee agreed to pay us 20 monthly payments of $10,890 for such personal property and we have agreed to deliver to the sub-lessee a bill of sale for the leased personal property at the end of the term. We have accounted for this personal property sub-lease arrangement as a sale.
 
    During the Third Quarter 2009 we earned no lead sale-revenue as compared to $103,798 in Third Quarter 2008. We re-sold certain Telesales leads that we purchase in order to recoup a portion of our lead cost. The decrease in lead sales revenue is a result of the cessation of direct marketing in the Second Quarter of 2009.

Page 46


 

    During the Third Quarter 2009 we earned sub-lease revenue of $326,393 as compared to $85,903 in Third Quarter 2008 relating to the sub-lease of a portion of our Florida office and our former New York sales office. Sub-lease revenue includes base rent, additional rent pertaining to utilities and occupancy costs and certain telephony, technology and facility services provided by us to certain of our sub-tenants.
  o   On February 21, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party whereby the third party sub-leased approximately 5,200 square feet of our Deerfield Beach office space beginning March 1, 2008 through February 28, 2009. This sub-lease agreement was amended and restated on October 3, 2008 to increase the sub-leased square footage to 13,900 and extend the lease term through January 31, 2010.
 
  o   On October 1, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party whereby the third party sub-leased approximately 8,000 square feet of our Deerfield Beach office space beginning October 15, 2008 through January 31, 2010. In accordance with this sub-lease agreement we recognize base rent, additional rent representing a portion of certain actual occupancy expenses for our Deerfield Beach office and certain telephony, technology and facility services provided to our sub-tenant. On July 1, 2009 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party effective July 15, 2009, which terminated an existing sub-lease agreement for approximately 8,000 square feet of our Deerfield Beach office and replaced it with a sub-lease agreement of approximately 29,952 square feet.
 
  o   On April 17, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party whereby the third party agreed to sub-lease our New York office space for the balance of our sublease agreement and pay our sub-lease payments essentially equal to our costs under the sublease agreement. The third party commenced paying sub-sublease payments to us in September 2008; however the third party failed to pay its December 2008 and subsequent rent when due. We were a beneficiary to a letter of credit in the amount of $151,503, which we had drawn against as a result of the third party’s failure to pay its rent when due. On July 23, 2009 we entered into a settlement agreement with the third party whereby we cancelled the sub-lease, the third party surrendered the sub-leased premises back to us and we and the third party agreed to release each other from all claims.
Total operating expenses of discontinued operations for Third Quarter 2009 was $594,550 as compared to $4,408,407 for Third Quarter 2008 for a decrease of $3,813,857 or 87% as compared to Third Quarter 2008. The primary reason for the decrease in operating expenses of discontinued operations is attributable to the cessation of direct marketing and selling activities in the first quarter of 2009.
Gain (loss) from discontinued operations
As a result of the aforementioned factors, we reported a gain from discontinued operations of $806,791 or $0.02 loss from discontinued operations per share in Third Quarter 2009 as compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $118,548 or $0.00 loss from discontinued operations per share in Third Quarter 2008.

Page 47


 

Other income (expenses)
Interest income was attributable to interest-bearing cash deposits resulting from the capital raised in private placements. The decrease in interest income is the result of a decline in interest rates and to a lesser extent a decline in cash balances.
Interest expense pertains to imputed interest on certain employee obligations.
Net loss
As a result of these factors discussed above, we reported a net loss of $1,446,599 or $0.03 loss per share in Third Quarter 2009 as compared to a net loss of $1,739,008 or $0.04 loss per share in Third Quarter 2008.

    Consulting and implementation services are from seven InsPro clients. The increase in consulting and implementation services in 2009 To Date as compared to 2008 To Date is attributable to an increase in work modification enhancements and data conversion required for additional clients.

The increase was the result of an increase in InsPro Technologies’ and Insurint’s staffing.
 
    Payroll taxes expense increased as a result of the hiring of additional staff in InsPro Technologies and Insurint partially offset by a greater number of salaries exceeding the maximum FICA contribution limit.
 
    Severance and other compensation increased primarily as a result of the Separation of Employment and General Release Agreement with Mr. Eissa.

During the first quarter of 2009, we ceased the direct marketing and sale of health and life insurance and related products to individuals and families in its Telesales call center. We also discontinued the sale of health and life insurance and related products to individuals and families through our non employee ISG agents. During the first quarter of 2009 our Telesales business segment eliminated 43 positions including all of its licensed employee sales agents along with other Telesales service and support personnel and eliminated another 20 positions in Telesales through attrition.
On February 20, 2009, we completed the sale of our Telesales call center produced agency business to eHealth, an unaffiliated third party.

Page 54


 

Under the terms of our sale to eHealth, we transferred to eHealth broker of record status and the right to receive commissions on certain of the in-force individual and family major medical health insurance policies and ancillary dental, life and vision insurance policies issued by Aetna, Inc., Golden Rule, Humana, PacifiCare, Inc., Assurant and United Healthcare Insurance Co. on which we were designated as broker of record. Certain policies and products were excluded from the transaction, including our agency business generated through our ISG agents, all short term medical products and all business produced through carriers other than those noted above. In addition, we also transferred to eHealth certain lead information relating to health insurance prospects.
The aggregate initial amount of consideration paid by eHealth to us during the first quarter of 2009 was approximately $1,280,000. In addition, eHealth assumed from us certain liabilities relating to historical commission advances on the transferred policies made by the specified carriers in an aggregate amount of approximately $1,385,000. eHealth has also agreed to pay to HBDC II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, a portion of each commission payment received by eHealth and reported by the specified carrier relating to a transferred policy for the duration of the policy, provided that eHealth remains broker of record on such transferred policy.
Simultaneous with the our sale to eHealth, we also entered into a Marketing and Referral Agreement with eHealth. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, eHealth agreed to construct one or more websites for the purpose of selling health insurance products and to pay to HBDC II a portion of all first year and renewal commissions received by eHealth from policies sold through the Referral Sites that result from marketing to prospects using the lead database or other leads delivered by us to eHealth. This agreement is scheduled to terminate in August 2010 and is terminable by us or eHealth upon material breach by the other party.
For 2009 To Date we earned revenues in discontinued operations of $7,258,319 compared to $14,377,526 in the 2008 To Date, a decrease of $7,119,207 or 50%. Revenues include the following:
    During 2009 To Date we recognized commission and other revenue from carriers of $1,972,178 as compared to $13,847,293 in 2008 To Date. The decrease is primarily the result of the execution of the agreement with eHealth whereby we no longer receive commission revenue on transferred policies effective on or about February 1, 2009. We continue to receive commissions from carriers other than specified carriers and commissions on policies other than transferred policies.
 
    During 2009 To Date we recognized a gain upon the execution of the Agreement of $2,664,794, which is the sum of the aggregate initial amount of consideration paid by eHealth to us and eHealth’s assumption of certain liabilities relating to historical commission advances on the transferred policies.
 
    During 2009 To Date we recognized $1,383,279 from commission payments from eHealth subsequent to the sale of our agency business. We recognize as revenue commission payments received from eHealth upon our notification by eHealth of such amounts.

    During 2009 To Date we recognized a gain on disposal of property and equipment of $227,728. On July 1, 2009 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party, effective July 15, 2009 which terminated an existing sub-lease agreement for approximately 8,000 square feet of our Deerfield Beach office and replaced it with a sub-lease agreement for approximately 29,952 square feet. This new sub-lease terminates on February 28, 2011. As part of the sub-lease agreement, we also agreed to lease certain personal property to the sub-lessee for the term of the lease. The sub-lessee agreed to pay us 20 monthly payments of $10,890 for such personal property and we have agreed to deliver to the sub-lessee a bill of sale for the leased personal property at the end of the term. We have accounted for this personal property sub-lease arrangement as a sale. During 2009 To Date we earned lead sale-revenue of $2,442 as compared to $391,193 in 2008 To Date. We re-sold certain Telesales leads that we purchase in order to recoup a portion of our lead cost. The decrease in lead sales revenue is a result of the cessation of direct marketing in the first quarter of 2009.
 
    During 2009 To Date we earned sub-lease revenue of $1,007,898 as compared to $138,940 in 2008 To Date relating to the sub-lease of a portion of our Florida office and our former New York sales office. Sub-lease revenue includes base rent, additional rent pertaining to utilities and occupancy costs and certain telephony, technology and facility services provided by us to certain of our sub-tenants.
  o   On February 21, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party whereby the third party sub-leased approximately 5,200 square feet of our Deerfield Beach office space beginning March 1, 2008 through February 28, 2009. This sub-lease agreement was amended and restated on October 3, 2008 to increase the sub-leased square footage to 13,900 and extend the lease term through January 31, 2010.
 
  o   On October 1, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party whereby the third party sub-leased approximately 8,000 square feet of our Deerfield Beach office space beginning October 15, 2008 through January 31, 2010. On July 1, 2009 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party effective July 15, 2009, which terminated an existing sub-lease agreement for approximately 8,000 square feet of our Deerfield Beach office and replaced it with a sub-lease agreement of approximately 29,952 square feet. This sub-lease terminates on February 28, 2011. In accordance with this sub-lease agreement we recognize base rent, additional rent representing a portion of certain actual occupancy expenses for our Deerfield Beach office and certain telephony, technology and facility services provided to our sub-tenant.
 
  o   On April 17, 2008 we entered into a sub-lease agreement with a third party whereby the third party agreed to sub-lease our New York office space for the balance of our sublease agreement and pay us sub-lease payments essentially equal to our costs under the sublease agreement. The third party commenced paying sub-sublease payments to us in September 2008; however the third party failed to pay its December 2008 and subsequent rent when due. We were a beneficiary to a letter of credit in the amount of $151,503, which we had drawn against as a result of the third party’s failure to pay its rent when due. On July 23, 2009 we entered into a settlement agreement with the third party whereby we cancelled the sub-lease, the third party surrendered the sub-leased premises back to us and we and the third party each released each other from all claims.
Total operating expenses of discontinued operations for 2009 To Date was $6,834,555 as compared to $16,623,118 for 2008 To Date for a decrease of $9,788,563 or 59% as compared to 2008 To Date.
    The primary reason for the decrease in operating expenses of discontinued operations is attributable to the cessation of direct marketing and selling activities in the first quarter of 2009.

Page 56


 

    During the first quarter of 2009 we determined certain long term assets were impaired as a result of the cessation of direct marketing and sales in the Telesales call center. We recorded expense in 2009 to write-off the value of these long term assets, which included property and equipment net of depreciation of $416,764, intangible assets net of accumulated amortization acquired from ISG of $1,200,428 and the value of internet domain name www.healthbenefitsdirect.com net of accumulated amortization of $22,389.
 
    During the second quarter we recorded $2,031,210 rent expense related to the non-cancelable lease for the abandoned portion of the Deerfield Beach office. Effective September 30, 2009, we have accrued $1,951,504 related to the non-cancelable lease for the abandoned portion of the Deerfield Beach office, which is net present value of our future lease payments through March 31, 2011 and consideration for early termination due under the lease plus management’s estimate of contractually required expenses pertaining to the Deerfield Beach office, which are estimated to be $3,210,938, less a portion of the Deerfield Beach office used in operations, which is estimated to be $107,971, less future sub-lease revenue, which is estimated to be $1,148,727.
Gain (loss) from discontinued operations
As a result of the aforementioned factors, we reported a gain from discontinued operations of $423,764 or $0.01 gain from discontinued operations per share in 2009 To Date as compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $2,245,592 or $0.06 loss from discontinued operations per share in 2008 To Date.
Other income (expenses)
Interest income was attributable to interest-bearing cash deposits resulting from the capital raised in private placements. The decrease in interest income is the result of a decline in interest rates and to a lesser extent a decline in cash balances.
Interest expense pertains to imputed interest on certain employee obligations.
Net loss
As a result of these factors discussed above, we reported a net loss of $6,281,647 or $0.15 loss per share in 2009 To Date as compared to a net loss of $7,402,697 or $0.19 loss per share in 2008 To Date.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2009, we had a cash balance of $641,666 and working capital of ($3,098,078).
At September 30, 2009, we had a restricted cash balance of $1,150,000, which represents money market account balances with a restricted balance pertaining to two letters of credit for the benefit of the landlords of our Florida and New York offices. The money market accounts are on deposit with the issuer of the letters of credit. The Company receives the interest on the money market accounts.

On January 14, 2009, we entered into and, on January 15, 2009 completed, a private placement with Co-Investment, for an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock. The gross proceeds from the closing were $4 million and we have used, and intend to continue to use, the net proceeds of this private placement for working capital purposes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we generated approximately $5 million in working capital from a private placement on March 31, 2008 of an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of our common stock to certain institutional investors. The gross proceeds from this private placement were $5,000,000, net $70,238 of legal and other expenses.
Net cash used by operations was $4,977,236 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to net cash used by operations of $7,833,461 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we used cash to fund our net loss of $6,281,647 and:
    Increases in accounts receivable of $440,411, which is primarily the result of increased billings to certain of InsPro Technologies’ clients.
 
    Increases in accrued expenses of $365,109, which is the result of accrued severance as a result of the Separation of Employment and General Release Agreement with Mr. Eissa.
 
    Decreases in liabilities of discontinued operations of $1,409,421, which is primarily the result of the repayment and assumption of certain unearned commission advances as a result of the sale of our Telesales call center produced agency business, which was partially offset by the accrual of the non-cancelable lease for the abandoned portion of the Deerfield Beach office.
In addition to cash used in operating activities we incurred $2,951,400 of non cash expenses and impairments in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which were included in our net loss, including:
    Recorded stock-based compensation and consulting expense of $450,227 (compared to $1,571,243 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008).
 
    Recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $859,103 (compared to $759,285 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008).
 
    We recorded $1,639,581 pertaining to the impairment of certain long lived assets of our discontinued operations (compared to $384,555 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008).
 
    We recorded $2,489 pertaining to the provision for bad debts (compared to $63,851 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008).
Net cash used by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $293,169 as compared to $674,199 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Investing activities pertain to the purchase of property and equipment supporting current and future operations and internal development of software for internal and external use.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $4,069,652 as compared to $5,099,281 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
    In first quarter 2009, we completed a private placement with Co-Investment and issued 1,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock. Our gross proceeds were $4,000,000 and we incurred $15,617 of legal and other expenses paid in connection with this 2009 private placement.
 
    In first quarter 2008, we completed a private placement with certain institutional accredited investors and issued 6,250,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 6,250,000 shares of our common stock. Our gross proceeds were $5,000,000 and we incurred $70,238 of legal and other expenses in connection with this private placement.
 
    Our InsPro Technologies business segment has entered into several capital lease obligations to purchase equipment used for operations.
Liquidity Considerations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 we used $4,977,236 of cash to fund operations and $293,169 of cash to fund investing activities. As of September 30, 2009, we have funded our operating activities from the proceeds of the sale of shares of our common stock and Preferred Stock in our January 2009 private placement; however, based on our most recent financial projections, we believe that our current level of liquid assets and our expected cash flows from operations may not be sufficient to finance our operations and financial commitments in the future.
On October 28, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 relating to a rights offering of up to $8 million in “units,” with each unit consisting of 625 shares of our common stock, 125 shares of Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock. These units will be available, on a pro rata basis, to our existing shareholders for a subscription price of $1,000 per unit. Our board of directors approved this rights offering for the purpose of raising capital to finance our operating activities while giving all holders of our common stock and Preferred Stock the opportunity to participate in an equity investment in the Company on the same economic terms as our last two private placements in March 2008 and January 2009.
Co-Investment, which as of October 29, 2009 was the owner of approximately 30.2% of our common stock and 100% of our Preferred Stock, has informed us that it will not initially exercise any of the subscription rights issued to it in the rights offering, but may exercise a portion of its subscription rights in the event shareholders other than Co-Investment subscribe for less than $3 million in units in the rights offering. Any such subscription by Co-Investment would be for no more than the number of units that would result in the issuance of $3 million in units in the rights offering. If shareholders other than Co-Investment Fund subscribe for at least $3 million in units, then Co-Investment will agree not to exercise any of its subscription rights in this offering.
There can be no assurance that any of our shareholders will subscribe for any units in the rights offering, or that we will complete the rights offering, and we are unable, at this time, to ascertain the amount of proceeds we will generate in the rights offering.
In addition, there can be no assurance that we will otherwise be able to raise sufficient capital to both fund working capital and repay our obligations as they become due. Should we prove unsuccessful in raising additional capital, we may be unable to fund our financial obligations, both short-term and long-term.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
The letters of credit pertaining to the lease for our Florida office and our New York office were collateralized in the form of a money market account, which as of September 30, 2009, had a balance of $1,150,000. This money market account is on deposit with the issuer of the letters of credit and is classified as restricted cash on our balance sheet. The terms of the money market account allow us to receive interest on the principal but prohibits us from withdrawing the principal for the life of the letters of credit.
Guarantee of Indebtedness by the Company to Third Parties Pertaining to Unearned Commission Advances Paid to Non-employee ISG Agents
We are a party to sales and marketing agreements whereby we have guaranteed the repayment of unearned commission advances paid directly from third parties including certain of our insurance carriers to our non-employee ISG agents. Under these agreements certain third parties pay commissions directly to our non-employee ISG agents and such payments include advances of first year premium commissions before the commissions are earned. Unearned commission advances from our insurance carriers to our non-employee ISG agents are earned after the insurance company has received payment of the related premium. In the event that the insurance company does not receive payment of the related premium pertaining to an unearned commission advance the third parties generally deduct the unearned commission advance from its commission payments to our non-employee ISG agents in the form of charge-backs. In the event that commission payments from these third parties to our non-employee ISG agents do not exceed the charge-backs these third parties may deduct the unearned commission advance to non-employee ISG agents from their payments to us or demand repayment of the non-employee ISG agents’ unearned commission balance from us. The current amount of the unearned commission advances these third parties to our non-employee ISG agents, which is the maximum potential amount of future payments us could be required to make to these third parties, is estimated to be approximately $643,000 as of September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009 we had recorded a liability of $51,830 in accrued expenses for the estimated amount we anticipate we will pay pertaining to these guarantees. Unearned commission advances from these third parties are collateralized by the future commission payments to the non-employee ISG agents and to us. We have recourse against certain non-employee ISG agents in the event we must pay the unearned commission advances.
License Agreement With Realtime Solutions Group
On May 31, 2006, we entered into a Software and Services Agreement with Realtime Solutions Group, L.L.C., or Realtime, under which Realtime granted us a worldwide, transferable, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, display, copy, modify, enhance, create derivate works within, and access Realtime Solutions Group’s Straight Through Processing software, or STP, and all associated documentation, source code and object code, for use in the marketing, promotion and sale of health benefits or insurance products.
As consideration for the grant of the rights and licenses under the agreement, we paid to Realtime a $10,000 nonrefundable cash deposit and, upon delivery of the STP software and other materials, we agreed to pay to Realtime a license fee in the form of 216,612 unregistered shares of our common stock.

Page 60


 

We may unilaterally terminate the Realtime agreement, with or without cause, at any time on 30 calendar days prior written notice to Realtime. The license rights in the software granted under the Realtime agreement survive any termination of the agreement.
As of September 30, 2009 we had not taken delivery of the STP software or issued common stock in connection with the Realtime agreement.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
          Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the results of such assessment, management have concluded that the our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
          A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
          There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
          We are involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business, none of which, in our opinion, will harm our business. We cannot assure that we will prevail in any litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any litigation may require us to incur significant litigation expense and may result in significant diversion of our attention.
          On August 7, 2008, one of our former employees, the plaintiff, filed a putative collective action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, case no. 08-CV-61254-Ungaro-Simonton. The case alleges that we and three co-defendants, who are former officers, unlawfully failed to pay overtime to its insurance sales agents in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Plaintiff purported to bring claims on behalf of a class of current and former insurance sales agents who were classified as non-exempt by us and compensated at an hourly rate, plus commissions (“Agents”). On October 16, 2008, the Court conditionally certified a collective action under the FLSA covering all Agents who worked for us within the last three years. Plaintiff and all Agents who opt to participate in the collective action seek payment from us of compensation for all overtime hours worked at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay, liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. On March 2, 2009, the parties reached an agreement to settle this case. On April 21, 2009, the Court entered an Order of Final Dismissal with Prejudice.
          On August 28, 2008, one of our former employees, the plaintiff, filed a national class action complaint in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Broward County, case no. 062008 CA 042798 XXX CE, alleging that we breached a contract with employees by failing to provide certain commissions and/or bonuses. The complaint also contained claims for an accounting and for declaratory relief relating to the alleged compensation agreement. The plaintiff purported to bring these claims on behalf of a class of current and former insurance sales agents. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In response, at the hearing on our Motion to Dismiss, the plaintiff stated that he would amend the complaint. The amended complaint is no longer pled as a class action but, instead, includes 64 named plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek payment from us of all commissions allegedly owed to them, triple damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. We have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying any breach of contract. We also asserted counterclaims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment against 50 of the plaintiffs, for recovery of overpaid commissions that were advanced to those plaintiffs but never earned. Presently, the parties are engaging in the exchange of discovery requests and responses. We believe that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against their claims and prosecute our counterclaims.
          On March 24, 2009, certain of our shareholders filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 650174/2009, against us, our board of directors, two of our investors and the investors’ affiliates relating to alleged offers we purportedly received in 2008 and a private placement transaction conducted in January 2009. The plaintiffs alleged that the members of our board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in responding to the offers received in 2008 and in connection with the private placement transaction conducted in January 2009. The complaint also contained claims for unjust enrichment against certain directors whom plaintiffs claim are “interested” and claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against one of our shareholders, Cross Atlantic Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates. The plaintiffs sought to rescind and cancel the private placement, enjoin the board of directors from undertaking certain measures and remove certain directors from the board. The plaintiffs also sought money judgments in an amount not less than $10,000,000, plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and accounts and experts’ fees. On May 29, 2009, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. The motion was granted on August 13, 2009 on forum non conveniens grounds. On August 14, 2009, a writ of summons was filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County No. 090801764 against us, our board of directors, two of our investors and the investors’ affiliates by the same shareholders who brought the New York action and seven additional shareholders.

On October 27, 2009, we entered into an agreement with the shareholders who brought the New York action in which they agreed to withdraw from the Philadelphia litigation and provided a general release of all claims against us, our board of directors and the other defendants. The terms of this settlement agreement required Co-Investment to purchase all of the shares of common stock held by the settling plaintiffs (which amounted to 6,108,997 shares). Since the settlement did not include all of the plaintiffs in the suit filed in Philadelphia County, that action has not been dismissed.
