Supplemental
Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities
The
Company endeavors to structure its stock purchase agreements with acquisition
candidates as cash and debt free transactions where the sellers retain all cash
and outstanding liabilities. If any net liabilities remain at the closing date,
they are settled as a reduction in the purchase proceeds. Proceeds paid to the
sellers typically include, cash, notes payables issued to the sellers and the
issuance of the common stock of the Company at the average of recent market
values. The majority of liabilities assumed by the Company represent unearned
revenues of the acquired company at the closing date and the deferred tax
liability related to the recorded intangible assets.
The
following schedule represents cumulative cash paid, notes and common stock
issued and liabilities assumed since acquisition date.

Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note
1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim period reporting in conjunction with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these
statements do not include all of the information required by generally accepted
accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all known adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and
reserves) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as of and for the interim periods have been included.
It is suggested that these condensed consolidated interim financial statements
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
notes included in National Investment Managers Inc. Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009.
The
operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31,
2010.
All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Certain
amounts in the 2009 condensed consolidated interim financial statements and
disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
The
preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Note
2. Background and Liquidity
The
Company is in the principal business of acquiring and managing operating
entities that offer a full array of pension plan administration services,
including but not limited to plan design, consulting, installation, ongoing
annual administration and pension actuarial services, financial and investment
advisory services and sale of various insurance products to small and medium
sized businesses and high-net worth individuals in the United States. As of
March 31, 2010, the Company owned 22 operating units in fourteen states. The
Company’s headquarters is located in Dublin, Ohio.
At March
31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company's working capital deficit was
approximately $32.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively and its accumulated
deficit was approximately $24.9 million and $23.6 million, respectively.
Further, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, the
Company's net loss before preferred stock dividends was approximately $0.8
million and $0.3 million, respectively and its cash flows from operations was
approximately $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
Through
its senior lending arrangements, the Company has access to a Revolving Line of
Credit of up to $2.0 million, which was temporarily increased to $2.5 million
through December 31, 2009 and further extended through February 28, 2010, to
supplement its cash generated from operations. At March 31, 2010 and December
31, 2009, the Company had $2.5 million of principal outstanding under this
arrangement. Effective April 26, 2010, the maximum principal amount available
under the Revolving Line of Credit was increased to $4.0 million as a result of
an amendment to its current senior lending arrangement as discussed in the
Subsequent Events - Debt Amendments section of Note 5.
On April
12, 2010, in order to alleviate a lack of short-term liquidity, the Company
obtained an additional loan of $0.5 million for short-term working capital
purposes from its subordinated lenders due on May 15, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the
Company used funds available from the increased Revolving Line of Credit to pay
off the short-term working capital loan.
Management
establishes an annual plan for operations and then utilizes the operating plan,
current financial results, equity and credit market conditions, and other
factors to forecast its quarterly and annual financial results and related cash
flows from operations. Based upon management's cash forecast for revenues,
operating expenses and debt services, the Company believes its cash resources
will be adequate to fund operations through December 31, 2010.
The
Company’s existing commitments for term notes from senior and subordinated
senior lenders are currently exhausted. The Company has amended its current
lending arrangements, with its existing lenders, beyond 2010 as discussed in the
Subsequent Events - Debt Amendments section of Note 5. In the
amendments, the Company has agreed that its senior or subordinated senior
lenders may terminate its forbearance agreements if, in the lender’s reasonable
judgment, the Company has not made adequate progress toward a reasonably
satisfactory recapitalization initiative by July 15, 2010 or any date thereafter
through the forbearance period. If the Company is not successful in its
recapitalization or debt refinancing efforts, it will not have the ability to
pay the senior and subordinated senior debt at the end of the forbearance
period.

National Investment Managers Inc. and

Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
As a
result of the Company’s current capital position, general liquidity constraints,
and its commitments in the amendments to its lending arrangements, management’s
primary focus will be to dedicate significant time and efforts in 2010 towards
the successful recapitalization or debt refinancing of the Company. Management
will also continue to enhance operating efficiencies and increase the
effectiveness of the current operating subsidiaries through the implementation
of technology and operational upgrades. The Company expects further
acquisition activity in 2010, if any, to be limited and only with the approval
of its lenders.
Note
3. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In
April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
guidance in the Financial Instruments and Interim Reporting Topics of the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). This guidance requires disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements. It
requires that disclosures be included in both interim and annual financial
statements of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair
value of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for periods ending
after June 15, 2009, with comparative disclosures required only for periods
ending subsequent to initial adoption. The Company has disclosed the assumptions
used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in the notes to
condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Topic of FASB ASC. This guidance updates the fair value measurement of
liabilities that provides clarification for circumstances in which a quoted
price in an active market for the identical liability is not available; a
reporting entity is required to measure fair value using alternative valuation
techniques. This guidance provided in this update is effective for interim and
annual periods beginning after August 27, 2009. Valuation techniques used by the
Company are discussed in Note 10.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC. The guidance requires reporting entities to make
new disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements
including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on
a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The
guidance also clarified existing fair value measurement disclosure guidance
about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. The new
disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll
forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years. The guidance does not have a material impact
on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial
statements.
Note 4. New Accounting
Pronouncements
In
September 2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Revenue Recognition Topic of
FASB ASC. This guidance updates the accounting and expands disclosures for
multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or
services separately rather than as a combined unit. The update will be effective
prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Management is currently
evaluating the impact of applying the update to the Company’s future
consolidated financial statements.

Revolving
Line of Credit and Senior Term Note
On
November 30, 2007, the Company entered into (i) a Revolving Line of Credit and
Term Loan Agreement (the "Senior Loan Agreement") with RBS Citizens Bank
(“Senior Lender”) and (ii) a Securities Purchase and Loan Agreement (the
"Subordinated Senior Agreement") with Woodside Capital Partners IV, LLC,
Woodside Capital Partners IV QP, LLC and Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank (the
“Subordinated Senior Lenders”). A principal amount of the proceeds generated
from the two financings were used to retire existing debt. Pursuant to the
Senior Loan Agreement, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit in
the initial amount of $1,000,000 (the "Revolver") and a Term Loan Promissory
Note in the initial amount of $8,000,000 (the "Term Loan"). If certain
conditions are satisfied, the Company may utilize additional financing under the
Revolver up to $1,000,000 (the "Additional Revolver") and additional term loans
up to $7,000,000 (the "Additional Term Loan") to fund future acquisitions (the
Term Loan and the Additional Term Loan are collectively referred to as the
“Senior Term Note”). On July 15, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional
$2,358,375 on the Senior Term Note. As part of the transaction, the Company paid
$22,992 in deferred financing costs which will be amortized over the remaining
life of the loan. On October 2, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional
$1,937,760 on the Senior Term Note. On November 26, 2008, the Company borrowed
the remaining $2,703,865 on the Senior Term Note exhausting the availability of
funds under the Senior Term Note. The Senior Term Note and the Revolving Line of
Credit bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate of interest. The Senior Term
Note and the Revolving Line of Credit mature on July 31, 2010; but, were
extended under the April 26, 2010 amendment discussed further in the Subsequent
Events – Debt Amendments section of this Note 5. From closing through November
30, 2008, the Company was required to pay interest accruing on the Senior Term
Note and the Revolving Line of Credit on the last day of the applicable LIBOR
interest period. Subsequent to November 30, 2008, the Company is required to pay
the applicable amount of interest owed on the Senior Term Note and the Revolving
Line of Credit as well as a portion of the principal of the Senior Term Note
based upon a five year straight line amortization schedule of $250,000 in
principal on a monthly basis with the remaining outstanding principal balance to
be paid in one lump sum on the date of maturity. Commencing January 1, 2008, the
Company is obligated to pay an unused commitment fee on the first business day
of each quarter for any amounts not used by the Company under the Additional
Term Loan. The unused commitment fee to be paid is equal to one-quarter
multiplied by the applicable basis point level, which is contingent upon the
Company's ratio of total debt funded to EBITDA. The Senior Lender has a secured
lien on all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may prepay
the Senior Term Note and the Revolving Line of Credit at anytime.
As of
March 31, 2010, the outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Line of
Credit and Senior Term Note was approximately $2.5 million and $11.0 million,
respectively and the interest rate was 4.73%. As of December 31, 2009, the
outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Line of Credit and Senior Term
Note was approximately $2.5 million and $12.0 million, respectively and the
interest rate was 4.73%.
Subordinated
Senior Term Note
The
Subordinated Senior Note bears interest at 15% of which 12% is due and payable
on a monthly basis and 3% (the "Compounded Rate") is compounded monthly and
added to the principal amount of the Subordinated Senior Note. The Subordinated
Senior Note matures on the earlier of January 31, 2011, the occurrence of a
capital transaction, or an event of default. A capital transaction includes the
sale, disposition, dissolution or liquidation of the Company's assets or
subsidiaries, the acquisition by any person of 30% or more of the Company's
common stock or a public offering in the minimum amount of $20,000,000 (a
"Capital Transaction"). The Subordinated Senior Lenders have a secured lien on
all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and would be entitled to
foreclose on the Company's assets in the event of default, subject to the rights
of the Senior Lender. The Company may prepay the Subordinated Senior Notes at
any time after May 30, 2009.
At
closing, the Company issued warrants (“Subordinated Senior Warrants”) to
purchase an aggregate 5,742,789, 3,828,527 and 1,914,262 shares of common stock
at $0.50, $1.00 and $1.50 per share, respectively. The Subordinated Senior
Warrants are exercisable through November 2017 on a cash or cashless basis.
Subsequent to January 31, 2011, the consummation of a Capital Transaction or an
event of default, the Subordinated Senior Lenders may elect to sell to the
Company all or a portion of the shares issuable upon exercise of the
Subordinated Senior Warrants (the "Put"). The cash payment to be made by the
Company shall be determined by dividing the value of the Company's common stock
equity by the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the
"Repurchase Price"). In the event that a Capital Transaction is entered into
during the six months following the closing of the Put, then the Company is
obligated to make an additional payment to the Subordinated Senior Lenders to
reflect the difference of the amount initially paid in connection with the Put
and the amount that would have been paid had the Put been exercised pursuant to
the second Capital Transaction.
The
Subordinated Senior Lenders may elect to require the Company to pay an
additional fee (the "Fee Agreement") as well as the Conditional Interest Payment
("CIP Payment") at (i) January 31, 2011, (ii) the date of consummation of a
Capital Transaction, or (iii) an event of default. The Fee Agreement is based
upon the Subordinated Senior Lenders ownership in the Company and the per share
price of the Company's common stock. The CIP Payment is equal to 5% of the
Company's equity value which is payable on the 90th day following receipt of
such notice from the Subordinated Senior Lenders and an additional payment equal
to 1.5% of the Company's equity value is payable on the end of each calendar
quarter thereafter. The aggregate CIP Payment may not exceed 15% of the
Company's equity value. At any time after the Subordinated Senior Lenders
deliver notice with respect to the CIP Payment, the Company may elect to
purchase the shares of common stock underlying the Subordinated Senior Warrants
at the Repurchase Price.

The
Subordinated Senior Lenders have both demand and piggyback registration rights
with respect to shares issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Senior
Warrants or any other shares held at the time of the request. The
Company must use its best efforts in good faith to affect the registration of
these shares.
On
November 3, 2008, Woodside Capital Partners V, LLC and Woodside Capital Partners
V QP, LLC (“Woodside Purchasers”) acquired all of the Subordinated Senior Notes
and Subordinated Senior Warrants held by Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank
(“Lehman”). Concurrent with the sale of the Subordinated Senior Notes and
Subordinated Senior Warrants by Lehman, the Company and the Woodside Purchasers
entered into a side letter agreement whereby the Woodside Purchasers agreed that
in the event that a capital transaction is consummated on or prior to May 4,
2009, the Woodside Purchasers shall surrender each of the assigned Subordinated
Senior Warrants held by it to the Company for cancellation and forfeit its right
to receive its portion of the conditional interest payment and fee arrangement
assigned to it by Lehman. The Woodside Purchasers together with the Woodside
Capital Partners IV, LLC and Woodside Capital Partners IV QP, LLC are
hereinafter referred to as the “Woodside Subordinated Senior
Lenders”.
As of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately $13.2 million and $13.0
million, respectively, were outstanding under the Subordinated Senior
Agreement.
In
Connection with the April 26, 2010 amendments, discussed further in the
Subsequent Events – Debt Amendments section of this Note 5, the Woodside
Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to surrender the Subordinated Senior Warrants
and relinquish their rights to the CIP Payment and the Fee
Agreement.
Covenant
Compliance and Related Debt Amendments
Under the
terms of the Senior Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Senior Agreement, the
Company is subject to meeting certain restrictive quarterly financial covenants
which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain minimum
Adjusted EBITDA and certain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. Adjusted
EBITDA is a financial performance metric which is not recognized by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As of
December 31, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
under the Senior Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Senior Agreement. The
Company’s decline in asset based revenues, as a result of the dramatic decline
in the U.S. equity markets in the second half of 2008, negatively impacted its
ability to achieve Adjusted EBITDA targets as planned and three out of five
related debt covenants presented below. As a result, management entered into
Waiver and Amendment Agreements to the Senior Loan Agreement and the
Subordinated Senior Agreement (“Waiver and Amendment Agreements”) in March 2009.
Under the terms of the Waiver and Amendment Agreements, the Senior Lender and
Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders waived the existing defaults on the debt
covenants at December 31, 2008 and revised future covenant
calculations. In exchange, the Company is subject to an increase in
the interest rates of 1.25% on the Senior Term Note and 1.75% on the outstanding
Revolving Line of Credit, over the remaining term of the Senior Loan Agreement.
In addition, the Company incurred one-time amendment fees totaling $100,625 (of
which $60,000 was added to the Subordinated Senior Note) upon the effective date
and is now subject to a 0.25% unused commitment fee on the Revolver which the
Company does not expect to be material. The Senior Lender and the Woodside
Subordinated Senior Lenders will also have approval rights for all future
acquisitions and the Company will be subject to more frequent and timely
compliance and reporting requirements with the Senior Lender.
On
September 29, 2009, the Company and Senior Lender agreed to temporarily increase
the maximum principal amount available under the Revolving Line of Credit to
$2,500,000 through December 31, 2009 and later extended through February 28,
2010. At February 28, 2010, the Company is required to repay any amounts
outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit in excess of $2,000,000. As part
of the transaction, the Company paid or accrued $61,583 in deferred financing
costs associated with the original increase in the Revolving Line of Credit
dated September 29, 2009, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the
loan. The agreement was further amended as part of the April 26, 2010 amendment
discussed further in the Subsequent Events – Debt Amendments section of this
Note 5.
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with certain restrictive
covenants in the Waiver and Amendment Agreements. As a result, the Senior Lender
and the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders issued the Company reservation of
rights letters, which notifies the Company of default under the Waiver and
Amendment Agreements. The document indicates that this default entitles the
Senior Lender and the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders to exercise certain
rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Senior
Agreement through issuance of a Reservation of Rights letter. The Senior Lender
and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to not exercise all their rights
and remedies at this time; but, reserve the right to do so in the future. The
Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders exercised their right to increase the
interest rate by 3% on the Subordinated Senior Note effective November 15, 2009.
The increased interest is compounded monthly and added to the Subordinated
Senior Note.

As of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with
certain restrictive covenants in the Waiver and Amendment Agreements. As a
result, on April 26, 2010, the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders
agreed to amend the existing loan agreements. Under the amendments, the Senior
and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to forbear from exercising their
rights and remedies for identified events of default and anticipated events of
default during the forbearance period subject to certain terms and conditions
which are discussed further in the Subsequent Events – Debt Amendments section
of this Note 5.

trailing twelve month periods as amended by quarter for 2009 and
2010.

(1)
Minimum Adjusted EBITDA includes, for the trailing twelve month period, net loss
plus the following items: consolidated interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges for stock based compensation,
contractually specific charges to goodwill, and any non-cash extraordinary
and unusual or non-recurring write downs or write offs.
(2)
Maximum Leverage Ratio is total funded debt divided by the sum of Minimum
Adjusted EBITDA and the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA for
acquisitions.
(3)
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is the quotient of Operating cash flow and
Debt Service. Operating cash flow is the sum of Minimum Adjusted
EBITDA and the trailing twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA from acquisitions less
taxes paid and capital expenditures during the trailing twelve month
period. Debt Service is the sum of the current portion of all long term debt,
except the Senior Term Note which if defined as $3,000,000 for this
calculation, and the trailing twelve months of interest expense.
(4)
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio is the quotient of Minimum Adjusted EBITDA
divided by the trailing twelve month interest expense.
(5)
Maximum Ratio of Total Funded Debt to Net Worth is the quotient of funded debt
divided by the total of assets, less liabilities plus the accumulated
amortization of intangible assets recorded since November 30, 2007 (the date of
debt agreement).

Subsequent
Events – Debt Amendments
On April
12, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with the Woodside Subordinated
Senior Lenders to receive an additional loan (“Short-Term Working Capital Loan”)
of $500,000 to be used for short-term working capital needs. For use of the
funds, the Company paid a fee of $5,000. The Short-Term Working Capital Loan
accrues interest at 12% per annum. The principal amount and any accrued and
unpaid interest is due on May 15, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the Company paid all
outstanding principal and accrued interest.
On April
26, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment (“Senior Loan Amendment”) to the
Senior Loan Agreement. In the Senior Loan Amendment, the Senior Lender agreed to
forbear from accelerating or otherwise enforcing its rights and remedies with
respect to identified events of default and anticipated events of default under
the Senior Loan Agreement until January 2, 2011 (the “Forbearance Period”) and,
in addition, extends the maturity of the indebtedness until January 2, 2011.
During the Forebearance Period, the Senior Lender agreed to increase the maximum
principal amount available under the Revolving Line of Credit to $4,000,000. All
advances on the Revolving Line of Credit after the date of the Senior Loan
Amendment, including any outstanding draws, will incur interest, payable on a
monthly basis, at a rate of prime plus 6%. Also, the Senior Lender agreed to
suspend the monthly principal payments of $250,000 on the Senior Term Note. The
Company will continue to pay the applicable amount of interest owed on the
Senior Term Note on the last day of each month.
In
return, the Company agreed as part of the Senior Loan Amendment that, among
other things, the Senior Lender may terminate the Senior Loan Amendment during
the Forbearance Period if the Company does not (i) meet specified cash flow
tests of its cash receipts and disbursements measured weekly on a rolling six
week and forbearance period-to-date basis, as defined in the amendment and (ii)
maintain a specified minimum cash and available Revolving Line of Credit balance
of $500,000.
The
Company engaged a financial advisor to assist in exploring, evaluating and
implementing one or more strategic alternatives for the recapitalization of the
Company (“Recapitalization Initiative”), including refinancing its current debt,
raising capital, and/or sale of the Company to a third party. The Senior Lender
may terminate the Forbearance Period if, in the Senior Lender’s reasonable
judgment, the Company has not made adequate progress toward a reasonably
satisfactory Recapitalization Initiative by July 15, 2010 or any date
thereafter. The Company paid the financial advisor $60,000 upon the execution of
an amendment to the loan agreements with Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior
Lenders and agreed to pay a monthly service fee of $30,000. In the event of a
sale to a third party, the Company will pay the financial advisor a transaction
fee of $950,000. In the case of a refinancing, the Company will pay the
financial advisor a fee equal to (i) 1.5% of the total amount of senior debt
raised, plus (ii) 3.0% of the total amount of any one-stop debt raised, plus
(iii) 4.0% of the total amount of junior debt raised.

(Unaudited)
The
Company agreed to pay the Senior Lender an amendment fee (“Amendment Fee”) of
$250,000, of which $50,000 was paid on the amendment date with the remainder to
be paid in $25,000 monthly installments beginning May 31, 2010 and ending
December 31, 2010. The Company also agreed to pay the Senior Lender a
monthly fee (“Monitoring Fee”) of $2,000 per month throughout the duration of
the Forbearance Period and reimburse the Senior Lender for any legal fees in
connection with the Senior Loan Amendment.
In
addition, upon closing of a capital transaction, the Company is required to pay
an additional fee to its Senior Lender. In the event of a sale to a third party,
the Company will pay the Senior Lender a fee (“Borrower Sale Fee”) equal to the
sum of $300,000 plus 0.75% of the excess of the gross purchase price paid for
the Company over the Company’s outstanding indebtedness less any exit fees paid
to the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. In the case of a repayment in full
or maturity, the Company will pay the Senior Lender a fee (“Borrower Refinancing
Fee”) equal to 4% of the outstanding indebtedness to the Senior Lender. If a
Company sale were to take place within six months after the maturity date or the
repayment in full and if that sale transaction would result in a Borrower Sale
Fee greater than $300,000, then the Company would pay the Senior Lender an
amount equal to the difference between the Borrower Sale Fee and
$300,000.
On April
26, 2010, in addition to the Senior Loan Amendment, the Company entered into an
amendment (“Subordinated Senior Amendment”) to the Subordinated Senior Agreement
with the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. In the Subordinated Senior
Amendment, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to forbear from
accelerating or otherwise enforcing its rights and remedies with respect to
identified events of default and anticipated events of default under the
Subordinated Senior Agreement until January 2, 2011 (the “Forbearance Period”).
In addition, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to surrender the
Subordinated Senior Warrants and relinquish their rights to the CIP Payment and
the Fee Agreement.
In
return, the Company agreed as part of the Subordinated Senior Amendment that,
among other things, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders may terminate the
Subordinated Senior Amendment during the Forbearance Period if the Company does
not (i) meet specified cash flow tests of its cash receipts and disbursements
measured weekly on a rolling six week and forbearance period-to-date basis, as
defined in the agreements and (ii) maintain a specified minimum cash and
available Revolving Line of Credit balance of $500,000.
The
Company engaged a financial advisor to assist in exploring, evaluating and
implementing one or more strategic alternatives for the recapitalization of the
Company (“Recapitalization Initiative”), including refinancing its current debt,
raising capital, and/or sale of the Company to a third party. The Woodside
Subordinated Senior Lenders may terminate the Forbearance Period if, in the
Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders’ reasonable judgment, the Company has not
made satisfactory progress toward a Recapitalization Initiative by July 15, 2010
or any date thereafter. The Company has agreed to pay the financial advisor as
discussed above.
The
Subordinated Senior Note continues to bear interest at 18%; however, only 6% is
due and payable on a monthly basis and 12% is compounded monthly and added to
the principal amount of the Subordinated Senior Note. The Company agreed to pay
the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders a fee (“Modification Fee”) of $250,000,
which is to be paid on the earlier of January 31, 2011, a capitalization
transaction, or an event of default. The Modification Fee shall constitute an
additional debt obligation and accrues interest at 18% per annum, compounded
monthly, payable at the date the Modification Fee is due.
In
addition, the Company agreed to pay the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders a
fee (“Exit Fee”) payable on the earlier of (i) a sale of the Company to a third
party, (ii) repayment of all amounts due the Woodside Subordinated Senior
Lenders (“Repayment Event”), or (iii) January 31, 2011 (“Maturity”). In the
event of a sale transaction occurring prior to a Repayment Event, the Exit Fee
will be $450,000 plus 1.5% of the excess of the gross purchase price paid for
the Company over the Company’s outstanding indebtedness less any Borrower Sale
Fee paid to the Senior Lender. Upon a Repayment event or Maturity, the Exit Fee
shall be $450,000. If a Company sale were to take place within six
months after a Repayment Event or Maturity and if that sale transaction would
have resulted in an Exit Fee greater than $450,000, then the Company would pay
the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders an amount equal to the difference
between the greater Exit Fee and $450,000.
Seller
Financing
In
connection with the Company’s acquisition strategy, part of the purchase price
is paid through seller financed instruments. As of March 31, 2010, total funds
due to former owners were $2,868,489. Of this amount, $2,674,726 is due in the
next twelve months and $193,763 is due thereafter. Seller financed instruments
bear interest at 6% to 8% per annum. All seller financed instruments are
uncollateralized. Under the terms of the Senior Loan Amendment and the
Subordinated Senior Amendment, any subordinated payments, including seller
financing, are not to be paid during the forbearance period unless otherwise
approved by the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. The Company
will seek to amend and restructure certain unpaid seller notes during the
forbearance period, although, there is no guarantee that this can be
accomplished.

Derivative
Liabilities
Pursuant
to the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of FASB ASC, the Subordinated Senior
Warrants and the Fee Agreement, meet the requirements of and are accounted for
as a liability since they could require net-cash settlement by the
Company. This option to net-cash settle is out of the Company’s
control. The initial value of the Subordinated Senior Warrants and
the Fee Agreement was treated as a discount to the corresponding note and
recorded as a liability. The Company calculated the initial value of the
Subordinated Senior Warrants to be $2,522,661 and the value of the Fee Agreement
to be $654,575. The value of the Subordinated Senior Warrants and the Fee
Agreement was determined using the formula outlined in section 11 of the
Securities Purchase and Loan Agreement and section 1.3 of the Fee
Agreement. The value of the derivative financial instruments are
reassessed at each balance sheet date and marked to market as a derivative gain
or loss until exercised or expiration. Upon exercise of the derivative financial
instruments, the related liability is removed by recording an adjustment to
additional paid-in-capital. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the
Subordinated Senior Warrants have a value of $0, and the Fee Agreement has a
value of $1,444,838 and $1,635,321, respectively. Pursuant to the Subordinated
Senior Amendment, dated April 26, 2010 and discussed in the Subsequent Events –
Debt Amendments section of this Note 5, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders
have agreed to surrender the Subordinated Senior Warrants and relinquish their
rights to the Fee Agreement.
In March
2005, as part of the since retired debt offering, the Company issued Laurus
Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) a common stock purchase warrant (the "2005
Warrant") entitling Laurus to purchase up to 1,084,338 shares of NIVM common
stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00, which was subsequently reduced to
$.50, and a stock option (the "2005 Option") entitling Laurus to purchase up to
643,700 shares of common stock at a per share purchase price of
$0.01.
On May
30, 2006, as part of another since retired debt offering, the Company issued
Laurus a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 700,000 shares of common
stock of the Company, at a purchase price of $0.01 per share, exercisable until
May 30, 2011 (the "May 2006 Warrant"). On June 12, 2006, the
Company and Laurus entered into an agreement pursuant to which the May 2006
Warrant was rescinded and a new common stock purchase warrant (the "New
Warrant") was issued to Laurus. The New Warrant, dated May 30, 2006, entitles
Laurus to purchase up to 700,000 shares of common stock of the Company, at an
exercise price of $0.1667 per share, exercisable until May 30,
2011.
Pursuant
to the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of FASB ASC, the 2005 Warrant, the 2005
Option and the New Warrant (collectively, “Laurus Derivative Financial
Instruments”), meet the requirements of and are accounted for as a liability
since they contain registration rights and the agreement is silent on how the
contract would be settled and thus assumes net-cash settlement in the event that
the Company is unable to deliver registered shares. The initial value of the
Laurus Derivative Financial Instruments was treated as a discount to their
corresponding notes and recorded as a liability. The Company calculated the
initial value of the Laurus Derivative Financial Instruments on the closing date
of the transactions as being $1,578,159. The value of the Laurus Derivative
Financial Instruments was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following assumptions: expected term - 3-8 years, volatility - 25%,
risk free rate - 4%, and zero dividend yield. Using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing method, the value of the Laurus Derivative Financial Instruments
are reassessed at each balance sheet date and marked to market as a derivative
gain or loss until exercised or expiration. Upon exercising the Laurus
Derivative Financial Instruments, the related liability is removed by recording
an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital. At March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, the Laurus Derivative Financial Instruments have a value of $50,750 and
$88,898, respectively.

7. Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company complies with the fair value recognition provisions of the Compensation
and Equity Topics of FASB ASC which requires compensation cost for all stock
awards be calculated and recognized over the service period (generally equal to
the vesting period). This compensation cost is determined using option pricing
models intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. An
offsetting increase to stockholders' equity is recorded equal to the amount of
the compensation expense charge. The fair value of issued stock options and
warrants are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model including the following assumptions: expected volatility
range of 25.0% to 60.0%, expected dividend yield rate of 0%, expected life over
the term, generally, 5 or 7 years, and a range of risk-free interest rates of
1.55% to 4.19% which coincides with the expected life of the options and
warrants at the time of issuance. During the three month periods ended March 31,
2010 and March 31, 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of
$18,028 and $87,528, respectively. There was no cash flow effect resulting from
these arrangements.

Note
8. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
The
Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of the Earnings
Per Share Topic of FASB ASC. Basic net income (loss) per common share includes
no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects, in the
periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the dilution which would occur
upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, and the conversion of
convertible preferred stock and notes.
Unexercised
stock options and warrants to purchase common stock and preferred stock
convertible into common stock as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are

The
foregoing common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted
net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March
31, 2009, respectively, since their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.
Some
employee options granted in 2009 may only be exercised if authorized common
shares are available. Furthermore, the Company is not obligated to settle these
options in cash.
Note
9. Income Taxes
The
Company complies with the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires an
asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income
taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that
will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws
and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to
reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
In
accordance with the guidance of the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC, there
were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2010 and 2009. This guidance
prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must
be more-likely-than-not sustainable upon examination by taxing authorities. The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
expense or benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the
payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2010 and 2009. Management is
currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant
payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The adoption of the
provisions of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's
condensed consolidated interim financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
Note
10. Fair Value Measurements
Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC establishes a three-level
valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation
hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of
three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in
the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
|
·
|
Level
1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for
identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
|
|
·
|
Level
2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
|
|
·
|
Level
3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and are
significant to the fair value
measurement.
|
A
financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based
upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input
to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers
factors specific to the liability. The liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 are as follows:

The
derivative liability measured at fair value of $1,495,588 consists of two
components of stock options and warrants. The fair value assessment of 2,159,331
options and warrants equaling $50,750 are valued using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model based on assumptions for expected volatility, expected
dividend yield rate, expected life, and risk-free interest rates. And, the fair
value assessment of 11,485,578 warrants equaling $1,444,838 are valued using a
contractually agreed upon formula, which utilizes the ending stock price of the
Company and 100,000,000 fully diluted shares as of March 31, 2010 including
certain adjustments to equate to a market capitalization as defined under the
Subordinated Senior Warrants agreement.
The
Company adopted this guidance for all non financial assets and liabilities that
are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as goodwill and
identifiable intangible assets. The assets measured at fair value on a
non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 are as follows:

The
intangible assets measured at fair value of $633,000 consist of asset purchases
of Standard Retirement Services, Inc. and Custom K, Inc. The fair value
assessment of both asset purchases are valued using plan attrition rates, both
known and anticipated, and historical annual revenues of the acquired assets to
estimate fair value of the final purchase price at the end of the contingency
period. The Company concluded that estimating a range of possible alternative
inputs was not meaningful due to the significant unobservable inputs utilized in
the fair value assessment.
In April
2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Topic of FASB ASC which clarifies the determination on whether a market is
active or a transaction is distressed. The guidance became effective for interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company concluded that it
does not hold any distressed securities or securities in which the volume and
level of activity has significantly decreased.
Note
11. Acquisitions of Subsidiaries and Other Assets
The
Company has acquired numerous businesses since late 2004. The Company's strategy
in purchasing these businesses is to acquire pension administration and
investment service organizations with recurring revenue streams, and consolidate
these businesses to take advantage of economies of scale, efficiencies, and
synergies. The Company believes that these businesses have demonstrated stable
revenue growth and cash flow with low client attrition rates prior to their
acquisition. The Company plans to enhance revenues and profits in these acquired
businesses through cross-selling additional retirement planning services, the
introduction of higher-margin services through improved operations, offering
non-traditional investment management services and products and higher client
retention through improved service and national capabilities.

The
acquisition of each subsidiary is being accounted for under the acquisition
method of accounting in accordance with the Business Combinations Topic of the
FASB ASC. Under the acquisition method, assets acquired and liabilities assumed
are recorded at their estimated fair values. The Company allocates the excess of
purchase price over net assets acquired to customer relationships, covenants not
to compete, employment contracts, trade name and goodwill. The Company amortizes
intangibles such as customer relationships, covenants not to compete, employment
contracts and trade name over their estimated useful lives. In accordance with
Intangibles-Goodwill and Others Topic of the FASB ASC, the Company does not
amortize goodwill.
The
Company has incorporated contingent consideration into the structure of certain
acquisitions completed. These arrangements generally result in the payment of
additional consideration to the sellers upon the satisfaction of certain
events.
For
acquisitions prior to 2009, the additional cash payments or share issuances are
contingent considerations and are considered to be additional purchase
consideration and will be accounted for as part of the purchase price of the
firms when the outcome of the contingency is determinable beyond a reasonable
doubt.
For
acquisitions beginning in 2009, the additional cash payments or share issuances
are contingent consideration accounted for under the Business Combinations Topic
of the FASB ASC and are considered to be additional purchase consideration as
part of the purchase price of the firms at the time of acquisition. These
contingencies will be reassessed on a periodic basis until the final outcome of
the contingency is determinable but not longer than the measurement period, with
the change recorded to goodwill or identifiable intangibles.
The
acquisitions completed by the Company in 2009 are discussed further
below:
Standard
Retirement Services, Inc.
On
October 28, 2009, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement
(“Standard Agreement”) to purchase certain assets of Standard Retirement
Services, Inc (“Standard”). The final purchase price will be determined based on
retention rates as of February 28, 2011 and annual revenues of the acquired
assets. The Company paid $68,653 in cash at closing, which represented 10% of
the purchase price. An additional 25% of the purchase price is due on August 15,
2010, and the final 65% of the purchase price due on March 15, 2011, less any
adjustments in accordance with the Standard Agreement. The Company accrued
$522,347 as an estimate for settling the remaining contingent
payments.
The total
purchase price for the acquisition of Standard was estimated to be about
$591,000. It is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting
in accordance with the Business Combinations Topic of the FASB ASC and is
allocated as indicated:

The
identifiable intangible assets are amortized for book purposes over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Additional contingent consideration under
the asset purchase agreement, if any, is considered to be additional purchase
consideration as part of the purchase price of the firms at the time of
acquisition. These contingencies will be reassessed on a periodic basis until
the final outcome of the contingency is determinable but not longer than the
measurement period, with the change recorded to identifiable
intangibles.
The
Company’s strategy in purchasing certain assets of Standard was to acquire the
customer relationships of a retirement plan administration organization without
incurring additional overhead expense. Standard was merged into the workflow at
several of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased $1,468,275 to $11,174,971
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 as shown in the table above.
The decrease in revenues was due primarily to a decrease in revenue of
$1,608,865 at our third party administration subsidiaries offset by an increase
in revenue of $140,590 generated by the subsidiaries that provide financial
planning, investment advisory and insurance products. Retirement plans are
restated pursuant to The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act
(“EGTRRA”), an Internal Revenue Service cycle that generally requires
restatement of retirement plan documents every six years. The decrease in
revenue from our third party administration subsidiaries is the result of a
decrease in these retirement plan document restatement fees of approximately
$815,000 as the restatement cycle for deferred compensation retirement plans was
coming to an end as of March 31, 2010. The remainder is a decrease in
recurring plan administration revenues resulting from plan terminations and
reductions in pension plan participants, as well as, a decrease in one-time
consulting revenue, resulting from the downturn in the U.S. economy. The revenue
for the period ended March 31, 2010, was generated from three sources; third
party administration, $10,184,729; financial planning and investment advisory
fees, $856,246; and insurance commissions, $133,996. The revenue for the period
ended March 31, 2009, was generated from three sources; third party
administration, $11,793,594; financial planning and investment advisory fees,
$745,011; and insurance commissions, $104,641.
Operating
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased $1,370,635 to
$11,283,629 over the prior year's comparable three month period. As a percentage
of revenue, operating expenses increased to 101.0% for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 as compared to 100.1% for the three months ended March 31,
2009.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010
decreased $967,013 to $9,673,675 over the prior year's comparable three month
period. The decrease is the result of the Company’s efforts to enhance operating
efficiencies and reduce operating costs.

As a
percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
86.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 84.2% for the
three months ended March 31, 2009.
Depreciation
and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased $334,122 to
$1,591,926 over the prior year's comparable three month period primarily due to
intangible assets acquired in prior acquisitions becoming fully amortized. As a
percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 14.2% for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 15.2% for the three months
ended March 31, 2009.
Stock-based
compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased $69,500 to
$18,028 over the prior year's comparable three month period due primarily to
800,000 stock options issued in 2007 to the Chief Executive Officer as part of
his November 30, 2007 employment agreement and 200,000 stock options issued in
2008 to the President and Chief Operating Office as part of his April 2008
employment agreement, both of which were still vesting and thus being expensed
in first quarter 2009. As a percentage of revenue, stock based compensation
decreased to 0.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 0.7%
for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Net other expense was $1,133,024 for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $836,166 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in
interest expense of $254,634 and an increase in debt and other restructuring
charges of $91,493, offset by an increase in the change of the fair value of the
derivative financial instruments of $34,160 and an increase in interest and
rental income of $15,109. The change in the fair value of derivative financial
instruments increased as a result of the relative change in the value of the
Company’s stock price. Interest expense increased as a result
of an increase in amortization of debt discount resulting from the use of the
effective interest rate method of amortization, additional borrowings on the
Revolving Line of Credit, additional borrowings on the Subordinated Senior Term
Note resulting from the capitalization of interest, a 3% increase in the
borrowing rate on the Subordinated Senior Term Note from failing debt covenants
at September 30, 2009 and higher average interest rates on the Senior Term
Note.
Preferred
stock dividends were $491,956 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as
compared to $494,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was
due to a conversion of 8,513 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into
170,260 shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2010.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At March
31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company's working capital deficit was
approximately $32.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively and its accumulated
deficit was approximately $24.9 million and $23.6 million, respectively.
Further, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, the
Company's net loss before preferred stock dividends was approximately $0.8
million and $0.3 million, respectively and its cash flows from operations was
approximately $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
Through
its senior lending arrangements, the Company has access to a Revolving Line of
Credit of up to $2.0 million, which was temporarily increased to $2.5 million
through December 31, 2009 and further extended through February 28, 2010, to
supplement its cash generated from operations. At March 31, 2010 and December
31, 2009, the Company had $2.5 million of principal outstanding under this
arrangement. Effective April 26, 2010, the maximum principal amount available
under the Revolving Line of Credit was increased to $4.0 million as a result of
an amendment to its current senior lending arrangement as discussed further in
the Subsequent Events – Debt Amendments section of this ITEM 2 of the Management
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the
“MD&A”).
Page

On April
12, 2010, in order to alleviate a lack of short-term liquidity, the Company
obtained an additional loan of $0.5 million for short-term working capital
purposes from its subordinated lenders due on May 15, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the
Company used funds available from the increased Revolving Line of Credit to pay
off the short-term working capital loan.
Management
establishes an annual plan for operations and then utilizes the operating plan,
current financial results, equity and credit market conditions, and other
factors to forecast its quarterly and annual financial results and related cash
flows from operations. Based upon management's cash forecast for revenues,
operating expenses and debt services, the Company believes its cash resources
will be adequate to fund operations through December 31, 2010.
The
Company’s existing commitments for term notes from senior and subordinated
senior lenders are currently exhausted. The Company has amended its current
lending arrangements, with its existing lenders, beyond 2010 as discussed in the
Subsequent Events – Debt Amendments section of this ITEM 2 of the MD&A. In
the amendments, the Company has agreed that its senior or subordinated senior
lenders may terminate its forbearance agreements if, in the lender’s reasonable
judgment, the Company has not made adequate progress toward a reasonably
satisfactory recapitalization initiative by July 15, 2010 or any date thereafter
through the forbearance period. If the Company is not successful in its
recapitalization or debt refinancing efforts, it will not have the ability to
pay the senior and subordinated senior debt at the end of the forbearance
period.
As a
result of the Company’s current capital position, general liquidity constraints,
and its commitments in the amendments to its lending arrangements, management’s
primary focus will be to dedicate significant time and efforts in 2010 towards
the successful recapitalization or debt refinancing of the Company. Management
will also continue to enhance operating efficiencies and increase the
effectiveness of the current operating subsidiaries through the implementation
of technology and operational upgrades. The Company expects further
acquisition activity in 2010, if any, to be limited and only with the approval
of its lenders.

Debt
Financing Arrangements
Revolving
Line of Credit and Senior Term Note
On
November 30, 2007, the Company entered into (i) a Revolving Line of Credit and
Term Loan Agreement (the "Senior Loan Agreement") with RBS Citizens Bank
(“Senior Lender”) and (ii) a Securities Purchase and Loan Agreement (the
"Subordinated Senior Agreement") with Woodside Capital Partners IV, LLC,
Woodside Capital Partners IV QP, LLC and Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank (the
“Subordinated Senior Lenders”). A principal amount of the proceeds generated
from the two financings were used to retire existing debt. Pursuant to the
Senior Loan Agreement, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit in
the initial amount of $1,000,000 (the "Revolver") and a Term Loan Promissory
Note in the initial amount of $8,000,000 (the "Term Loan"). If certain
conditions are satisfied, the Company may utilize additional financing under the
Revolver up to $1,000,000 (the "Additional Revolver") and additional term loans
up to $7,000,000 (the "Additional Term Loan") to fund future acquisitions (the
Term Loan and the Additional Term Loan are collectively referred to as the
“Senior Term Note”). On July 15, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional
$2,358,375 on the Senior Term Note. As part of the transaction, the Company paid
$22,992 in deferred financing costs which will be amortized over the remaining
life of the loan. On October 2, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional
$1,937,760 on the Senior Term Note. On November 26, 2008, the Company borrowed
the remaining $2,703,865 on the Senior Term Note exhausting the availability of
funds under the Senior Term Note. The Senior Term Note and the Revolving Line of
Credit bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate of interest. The Senior Term
Note and the Revolving Line of Credit mature on July 31, 2010; but, were
extended under the April 26, 2010 amendment discussed further in the Subsequent
Events – Debt Amendments section of this ITEM 2 of the MD&A. From closing
through November 30, 2008, the Company was required to pay interest accruing on
the Senior Term Note and the Revolving Line of Credit on the last day of the
applicable LIBOR interest period. Subsequent to November 30, 2008, the Company
is required to pay the applicable amount of interest owed on the Senior Term
Note and the Revolving Line of Credit as well as a portion of the principal of
the Senior Term Note based upon a five year straight line amortization schedule
of $250,000 in principal on a monthly basis with the remaining outstanding
principal balance to be paid in one lump sum on the date of maturity. Commencing
January 1, 2008, the Company is obligated to pay an unused commitment fee on the
first business day of each quarter for any amounts not used by the Company under
the Additional Term Loan. The unused commitment fee to be paid is equal to
one-quarter multiplied by the applicable basis point level, which is contingent
upon the Company's ratio of total debt funded to EBITDA. The Senior Lender has a
secured lien on all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may
prepay the Senior Term Note and the Revolving Line of Credit at
anytime.
Page
27
As of
March 31, 2010, the outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Line of
Credit and Senior Term Note was approximately $2.5 million and $11.0 million,
respectively and the interest rate was 4.73%. As of December 31, 2009, the
outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Line of Credit and Senior Term
Note was approximately $2.5 million and $12.0 million, respectively and the
interest rate was 4.73%.
Subordinated
Senior Term Note
The
Subordinated Senior Note bears interest at 15% of which 12% is due and payable
on a monthly basis and 3% (the "Compounded Rate") is compounded monthly and
added to the principal amount of the Subordinated Senior Note. The Subordinated
Senior Note matures on the earlier of January 31, 2011, the occurrence of a
capital transaction, or an event of default. A capital transaction includes the
sale, disposition, dissolution or liquidation of the Company's assets or
subsidiaries, the acquisition by any person of 30% or more of the Company's
common stock or a public offering in the minimum amount of $20,000,000 (a
"Capital Transaction"). The Subordinated Senior Lenders have a secured lien on
all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and would be entitled to
foreclose on the Company's assets in the event of default, subject to the rights
of the Senior Lender. The Company may prepay the Subordinated Senior Notes at
any time after May 30, 2009.
At
closing, the Company issued warrants (“Subordinated Senior Warrants”) to
purchase an aggregate 5,742,789, 3,828,527 and 1,914,262 shares of common stock
at $0.50, $1.00 and $1.50 per share, respectively. The Subordinated Senior
Warrants are exercisable through November 2017 on a cash or cashless basis.
Subsequent to January 31, 2011, the consummation of a Capital Transaction or an
event of default, the Subordinated Senior Lenders may elect to sell to the
Company all or a portion of the shares issuable upon exercise of the
Subordinated Senior Warrants (the "Put"). The cash payment to be made by the
Company shall be determined by dividing the value of the Company's common stock
equity by the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the
"Repurchase Price"). In the event that a Capital Transaction is entered into
during the six months following the closing of the Put, then the Company is
obligated to make an additional payment to the Subordinated Senior Lenders to
reflect the difference of the amount initially paid in connection with the Put
and the amount that would have been paid had the Put been exercised pursuant to
the second Capital Transaction.
The
Subordinated Senior Lenders may elect to require the Company to pay an
additional fee (the "Fee Agreement") as well as the Conditional Interest Payment
("CIP Payment") at (i) January 31, 2011, (ii) the date of consummation of a
Capital Transaction, or (iii) an event of default. The Fee Agreement is based
upon the Subordinated Senior Lenders ownership in the Company and the per share
price of the Company's common stock. The CIP Payment is equal to 5% of the
Company's equity value which is payable on the 90th day following receipt of
such notice from the Subordinated Senior Lenders and an additional payment equal
to 1.5% of the Company's equity value is payable on the end of each calendar
quarter thereafter. The aggregate CIP Payment may not exceed 15% of the
Company's equity value. At any time after the Subordinated Senior Lenders
deliver notice with respect to the CIP Payment, the Company may elect to
purchase the shares of common stock underlying the Subordinated Senior Warrants
at the Repurchase Price.
The
Subordinated Senior Lenders have both demand and piggyback registration rights
with respect to shares issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Senior
Warrants or any other shares held at the time of the request. The
Company must use its best efforts in good faith to affect the registration of
these shares.
On
November 3, 2008, Woodside Capital Partners V, LLC and Woodside Capital Partners
V QP, LLC (“Woodside Purchasers”) acquired all of the Subordinated Senior Notes
and Subordinated Senior Warrants held by Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank
(“Lehman”). Concurrent with the sale of the Subordinated Senior Notes and
Subordinated Senior Warrants by Lehman, the Company and the Woodside Purchasers
entered into a side letter agreement whereby the Woodside Purchasers agreed that
in the event that a capital transaction is consummated on or prior to May 4,
2009, the Woodside Purchasers shall surrender each of the assigned Subordinated
Senior Warrants held by it to the Company for cancellation and forfeit its right
to receive its portion of the conditional interest payment and fee arrangement
assigned to it by Lehman. The Woodside Purchasers together with the Woodside
Capital Partners IV, LLC and Woodside Capital Partners IV QP, LLC are
hereinafter referred to as the “Woodside Subordinated Senior
Lenders”.
As of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately $13.2 million and $13.0
million, respectively, were outstanding under the Subordinated Senior
Agreement.
In
Connection with the April 26, 2010 amendments, discussed further in the
Subsequent Events – Debt Amendments section of this ITEM 2 of the MD&A, the
Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to surrender the Subordinated Senior
Warrants and relinquish their rights to the CIP Payment and the Fee
Agreement.
Covenant
Compliance and Related Debt Amendments
Under the
terms of the Senior Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Senior Agreement, the
Company is subject to meeting certain restrictive quarterly financial covenants
which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain minimum
Adjusted EBITDA and certain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. Adjusted
EBITDA is a financial performance metric which is not recognized by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Page
28
As of
December 31, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
under the Senior Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Senior Agreement. The
Company’s decline in asset based revenues, as a result of the dramatic decline
in the U.S. equity markets in the second half of 2008, negatively impacted its
ability to achieve Adjusted EBITDA targets as planned and three out of five
related debt covenants presented below. As a result, management entered into
Waiver and Amendment Agreements to the Senior Loan Agreement and the
Subordinated Senior Agreement (“Waiver and Amendment Agreements”) in March 2009.
Under the terms of the Waiver and Amendment Agreements, the Senior Lender and
Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders waived the existing defaults on the debt
covenants at December 31, 2008 and revised future covenant
calculations. In exchange, the Company is subject to an increase in
the interest rates of 1.25% on the Senior Term Note and 1.75% on the outstanding
Revolving Line of Credit, over the remaining term of the Senior Loan Agreement.
In addition, the Company incurred one-time amendment fees totaling $100,625 (of
which $60,000 was added to the Subordinated Senior Note) upon the effective date
and is now subject to a 0.25% unused commitment fee on the Revolver which the
Company does not expect to be material. The Senior Lender and the Woodside
Subordinated Senior Lenders will also have approval rights for all future
acquisitions and the Company will be subject to more frequent and timely
compliance and reporting requirements with the Senior Lender.
On
September 29, 2009, the Company and Senior Lender agreed to temporarily increase
the maximum principal amount available under the Revolving Line of Credit to
$2,500,000 through December 31, 2009 and later extended through February 28,
2010. At February 28, 2010, the Company is required to repay any amounts
outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit in excess of $2,000,000. As part
of the transaction, the Company paid or accrued $61,583 in deferred financing
costs associated with the original increase in the Revolving Line of Credit
dated September 29, 2009, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the
loan. The agreement was further amended as part of the April 26, 2010 amendment
discussed further in the Subsequent Events – Debt Amendments section of this
ITEM 2 of the MD&A.
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with certain restrictive
covenants in the Waiver and Amendment Agreements. As a result, the Senior Lender
and the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders issued the Company reservation of
rights letters, which notifies the Company of default under the Waiver and
Amendment Agreements. The document indicates that this default entitles the
Senior Lender and the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders to exercise certain
rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Senior
Agreement through issuance of a Reservation of Rights letter. The Senior Lender
and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to not exercise all their rights
and remedies at this time; but, reserve the right to do so in the future. The
Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders exercised their right to increase the
interest rate by 3% on the Subordinated Senior Note effective November 15, 2009.
The increased interest is compounded monthly and added to the Subordinated
Senior Note.
As of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with
certain restrictive covenants in the Waiver and Amendment Agreements. As a
result, on April 26, 2010, the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders
agreed to amend the existing loan agreements. Under the amendments,
the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to forbear from
exercising their rights and remedies for identified events of default and
anticipated events of default during the forbearance period subject to certain
terms and conditions which are discussed further in the Subsequent Events – Debt
Amendments section of this ITEM 2 of the MD&A.

(1)
Minimum Adjusted EBITDA includes, for the trailing twelve month period, net loss
plus the following items: consolidated interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges for stock based compensation,
contractually specific charges to goodwill, and any non-cash extraordinary
and unusual or non-recurring write downs or write offs.
(2)
Maximum Leverage Ratio is total funded debt divided by the sum of Minimum
Adjusted EBITDA and the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA for
acquisitions.
(3)
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is the quotient of Operating cash flow and
Debt Service. Operating cash flow is the sum of Minimum Adjusted
EBITDA and the trailing twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA from acquisitions less
taxes paid and capital expenditures during the trailing twelve month
period. Debt Service is the sum of the current portion of all long term debt,
except the Senior Term Note which if defined as $3,000,000 for this
calculation, and the trailing twelve months of interest expense.
(4)
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio is the quotient of Minimum Adjusted EBITDA
divided by the trailing twelve month interest expense.
(5)
Maximum Ratio of Total Funded Debt to Net Worth is the quotient of funded debt
divided by the total of assets, less liabilities plus the accumulated
amortization of intangible assets recorded since November 30, 2007 (the date of
debt agreement).

Subsequent
Events – Debt Amendments
On April
12, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with the Woodside Subordinated
Senior Lenders to receive an additional loan (“Short-Term Working Capital Loan”)
of $500,000 to be used for short-term working capital needs. For use of the
funds, the Company paid a fee of $5,000. The Short-Term Working Capital Loan
accrues interest at 12% per annum. The principal amount and any accrued and
unpaid interest is due on May 15, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the Company paid all
outstanding principal and accrued interest.
On April
26, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment (“Senior Loan Amendment”) to the
Senior Loan Agreement. In the Senior Loan Amendment, the Senior Lender agreed to
forbear from accelerating or otherwise enforcing its rights and remedies with
respect to identified events of default and anticipated events of default under
the Senior Loan Agreement until January 2, 2011 (the “Forbearance Period”) and,
in addition, extends the maturity of the indebtedness until January 2, 2011.
During the Forebearance Period, the Senior Lender agreed to increase the maximum
principal amount available under the Revolving Line of Credit to $4,000,000. All
advances on the Revolving Line of Credit after the date of the Senior Loan
Amendment, including any outstanding draws, will incur interest, payable on a
monthly basis, at a rate of prime plus 6%. Also, the Senior Lender agreed to
suspend the monthly principal payments of $250,000 on the Senior Term Note. The
Company will continue to pay the applicable amount of interest owed on the
Senior Term Note on the last day of each month.
In
return, the Company agreed as part of the Senior Loan Amendment that, among
other things, the Senior Lender may terminate the Senior Loan Amendment during
the Forbearance Period if the Company does not (i) meet specified cash flow
tests of its cash receipts and disbursements measured weekly on a rolling six
week and forbearance period-to-date basis, as defined in the amendment and (ii)
maintain a specified minimum cash and available Revolving Line of Credit balance
of $500,000.
The
Company engaged a financial advisor to assist in exploring, evaluating and
implementing one or more strategic alternatives for the recapitalization of the
Company (“Recapitalization Initiative”), including refinancing its current debt,
raising capital, and/or sale of the Company to a third party. The Senior Lender
may terminate the Forbearance Period if, in the Senior Lender’s reasonable
judgment, the Company has not made adequate progress toward a reasonably
satisfactory Recapitalization Initiative by July 15, 2010 or any date
thereafter. The Company paid the financial advisor $60,000 upon the execution of
an amendment to the loan agreements with Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior
Lenders and agreed to pay a monthly service fee of $30,000. In the event of a
sale to a third party, the Company will pay the financial advisor a transaction
fee of $950,000. In the case of a refinancing, the Company will pay the
financial advisor a fee equal to (i) 1.5% of the total amount of senior debt
raised, plus (ii) 3.0% of the total amount of any one-stop debt raised, plus
(iii) 4.0% of the total amount of junior debt raised.

The
Company agreed to pay the Senior Lender an amendment fee (“Amendment Fee”) of
$250,000, of which $50,000 was paid on the amendment date with the remainder to
be paid in $25,000 monthly installments beginning May 31, 2010 and ending
December 31, 2010. The Company also agreed to pay the Senior Lender a
monthly fee (“Monitoring Fee”) of $2,000 per month throughout the duration of
the Forbearance Period and reimburse the Senior Lender for any legal fees in
connection with the Senior Loan Amendment.
In
addition, upon closing of a capital transaction, the Company is required to pay
an additional fee to its Senior Lender. In the event of a sale to a third party,
the Company will pay the Senior Lender a fee (“Borrower Sale Fee”) equal to the
sum of $300,000 plus 0.75% of the excess of the gross purchase price paid for
the Company over the Company’s outstanding indebtedness less any exit fees paid
to the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. In the case of a repayment in full
or maturity, the Company will pay the Senior Lender a fee (“Borrower Refinancing
Fee”) equal to 4% of the outstanding indebtedness to the Senior Lender. If a
Company sale were to take place within six months after the maturity date or the
repayment in full and if that sale transaction would result in a Borrower Sale
Fee greater than $300,000, then the Company would pay the Senior Lender an
amount equal to the difference between the Borrower Sale Fee and
$300,000.
On April
26, 2010, in addition to the Senior Loan Amendment, the Company entered into an
amendment (“Subordinated Senior Amendment”) to the Subordinated Senior Agreement
with the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. In the Subordinated Senior
Amendment, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to forbear from
accelerating or otherwise enforcing its rights and remedies with respect to
identified events of default and anticipated events of default under the
Subordinated Senior Agreement until January 2, 2011 (the “Forbearance Period”).
In addition, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to surrender the
Subordinated Senior Warrants and relinquish their rights to the CIP Payment and
the Fee Agreement.
In
return, the Company agreed as part of the Subordinated Senior Amendment that,
among other things, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders may terminate the
Subordinated Senior Amendment during the Forbearance Period if the Company does
not (i) meet specified cash flow tests of its cash receipts and disbursements
measured weekly on a rolling six week and forbearance period-to-date basis, as
defined in the agreements and (ii) maintain a specified minimum cash and
available Revolving Line of Credit balance of $500,000.
The
Company engaged a financial advisor to assist in exploring, evaluating and
implementing one or more strategic alternatives for the recapitalization of the
Company (“Recapitalization Initiative”), including refinancing its current debt,
raising capital, and/or sale of the Company to a third party. The Woodside
Subordinated Senior Lenders may terminate the Forbearance Period if, in the
Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders’ reasonable judgment, the Company has not
made satisfactory progress toward a Recapitalization Initiative by July 15, 2010
or any date thereafter. The Company has agreed to pay the financial advisor as
discussed above.
The
Subordinated Senior Note continues to bear interest at 18%; however, only 6% is
due and payable on a monthly basis and 12% is compounded monthly and added to
the principal amount of the Subordinated Senior Note. The Company agreed to pay
the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders a fee (“Modification Fee”) of $250,000,
which is to be paid on the earlier of January 31, 2011, a capitalization
transaction, or an event of default. The Modification Fee shall constitute an
additional debt obligation and accrues interest at 18% per annum, compounded
monthly, payable at the date the Modification Fee is due.
In
addition, the Company agreed to pay the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders a
fee (“Exit Fee”) payable on the earlier of (i) a sale of the Company to a third
party, (ii) repayment of all amounts due the Woodside Subordinated Senior
Lenders (“Repayment Event”), or (iii) January 31, 2011 (“Maturity”). In the
event of a sale transaction occurring prior to a Repayment Event, the Exit Fee
will be $450,000 plus 1.5% of the excess of the gross purchase price paid for
the Company over the Company’s outstanding indebtedness less any Borrower Sale
Fee paid to the Senior Lender. Upon a Repayment event or Maturity, the Exit Fee
shall be $450,000. If a Company sale were to take place within six
months after a Repayment Event or Maturity and if that sale transaction would
have resulted in an Exit Fee greater than $450,000, then the Company would pay
the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders an amount equal to the difference
between the greater Exit Fee and $450,000.
Seller
Financing
In
connection with the Company’s acquisition strategy, part of the purchase price
is paid through seller financed instruments. As of March 31, 2010, total funds
due to former owners were $2,868,489. Of this amount, $2,674,726 is due in the
next twelve months and $193,763 is due thereafter. Seller financed instruments
bear interest at 6% to 8% per annum. All seller financed instruments are
uncollateralized. Under the terms of the Senior Loan Amendment and the
Subordinated Senior Amendment, any subordinated payments, including seller
financing, are not to be paid during the forbearance period unless otherwise
approved by the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. The Company
will seek to amend and restructure certain unpaid seller notes during the
forbearance period, although, there is no guarantee that this can be
accomplished. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in amending the
seller financing agreements or meet its obligations therein, the Company could
realize negative variances relative to its financial plans in certain
subsidiaries, especially new business and client retention, as the holders of
the notes are employees and managers of certain operating units.
On
February 24, 2009, the Company executed a restructured promissory note (the “TPA
Restructured Note Agreement”) with the sellers of The Pension Alliance, Inc.
(“TPA”) under which the parties agreed to execute replacement notes superseding
and terminating all existing promissory notes with the sellers of TPA. Under the
TPA Restructured Note Agreement, the Company agreed to issue promissory notes
for an aggregate of $837,500 payable in nine equal principal monthly
installments of $93,056, plus accrued interest, beginning on July 1, 2009 and
ending March 1, 2010 at an interest rate of 8% per annum. Interest accrued on
superseded promissory notes was paid to the sellers within fifteen business days
after the effective date of the TPA Restructured Note
Agreement.

2008. Under the CIAS Restructured Note Agreement, the Company issued two
promissory notes for an aggregate of $950,000 payable in eight monthly principal
only installments of $70,000 beginning on August 15, 2009 and ending March 15,
2010, and three monthly installments of $130,000 plus all accrued interest, less
any adjustments to the promissory notes under the CIAS agreement dated April 3,
2008, beginning on April 15, 2010 and ending on June 15, 2010. The notes pay
interest at 8% per annum. Accrued interest on the April 3, 2008 promissory notes
was paid to the CIAS Sellers within ten business days of the original scheduled
payment date of June 3, 2009.
On March

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The policies
below are considered by management to be critical to the understanding of the
Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements because their
application places a significant demand on management’s judgment, with financial
reporting results relying on estimation about the effects of matters that are
inherently uncertain.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company generates revenue primarily from the following sources:
|
·
|
Third
party administration – The Company earns fees for the development and
implementation of corporate and executive benefit programs, as well as
fees for the duration that these programs are
administered.
|
|
·
|
Financial
planning and investment advisory fees and securities commissions – The
Company receives commissions related to the sale of securities and certain
investment-related insurance products as well as fees for offering
financial advice through financial intermediaries and related services.
These fees are based on a percentage of assets under management and are
generally paid quarterly. The Company also charges fees for evaluations of
the performance of portfolios.
|
|
·
|
Insurance
commissions - Insurance and annuity commissions paid by insurance
companies are paid to the Company for policies sold based on a percentage
of the premium that the insurance company charges to the policyholder.
First-year commissions are calculated as a percentage of the first twelve
months premium on the policy and earned in the year that the policy is
originated. In many cases, the Company receives renewal commissions for
periods following the first year, if the policy remains in
force.
|
Revenue
is recognized only when all of the following are present: persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the
fee to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably
assured. These criteria are in accordance with GAAP and the Revenue Recognition
Topic of FASB ASC.
The
Company recognizes revenue from these sources, as follows:
Third party
administration:
|
·
|
Persuasive evidence of an
arrangement between the Company and its clients
exists;
|
|
·
|
Delivery of a completed product
to the client has occurred or the service has been provided to the
customer;
|
|
·
|
The price to the client is fixed
and determinable;
|
|
·
|
Collectability of the sales price
is reasonably assured.
|
Financial planning and
investment advisory fees and securities:
|
·
|
As services are
rendered;
|
|
·
|
Contingent commissions are
recorded as revenue when earned and determinable and collection is
reasonably assured.
|
Insurance:
|
·
|
The policy application is
substantially complete;
|
|
·
|
The premium is
paid;
|
|
·
|
The insured party is
contractually committed to the purchase of the insurance
policy.

Management's
Estimates
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our condensed consolidated interim financial statements which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim
financial statements and the reported amounts for revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates estimates,
including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, as described above,
income taxes, bad debts, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical
data, when available, experience, and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of which
form the basis for making judgments approximating the carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.

Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of businesses
acquired. The Company accounts for goodwill under the guidance of the
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Topic of FASB ASC. Goodwill and other intangible
assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an
indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment, at
least annually, in accordance with this guidance. This guidance also requires
that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and
reviewed for impairment in accordance with the provisions of the Property,
Plant, and Equipment Topic of FASB ASC.
In
accordance with the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of FASB ASC, long-lived
assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangible assets subject
to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an
asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset.
No
impairment losses have been recognized on goodwill and other intangible assets
as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Share
Based Payments
The
Company complies with the fair value recognition provisions of the Compensation
and Equity Topics of FASB ASC. This guidance requires that compensation cost for
all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the service period (generally
equal to the vesting period). This compensation cost is determined using option
pricing models intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant
date. An offsetting increase to stockholders' equity is recorded equal to the
amount of the compensation expense charge. The fair value of issued stock
options and warrants are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model.
Inflation
While
inflation has not had a material effect on our operations in the past, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to continue to offset the effects of
inflation on the costs of our services through price increases to our clients
without experiencing a reduction in the demand for our services; or that
inflation will not have an overall effect on the retirement market that would
have a material effect on us.
Adoption
of New Accounting Pronouncements
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Financial Instruments and
Interim Reporting Topics of the FASB ASC. This guidance requires disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements. It
requires that disclosures be included in both interim and annual financial
statements of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair
value of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for periods ending
after June 15, 2009, with comparative disclosures required only for periods
ending subsequent to initial adoption. The Company has disclosed the assumptions
used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in the notes to
condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Topic of FASB ASC. This guidance updates the fair value measurement of
liabilities that provides clarification for circumstances in which a quoted
price in an active market for the identical liability is not available; a
reporting entity is required to measure fair value using alternative valuation
techniques. This guidance provided in this update is effective for interim and
annual periods beginning after August 27, 2009.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC. The guidance requires reporting entities to make
new disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements
including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on
a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The
guidance also clarified existing fair value measurement disclosure guidance
about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. The new
disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll
forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years. The guidance does not have a material impact
on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial
statements.
New Accounting
Pronouncements
In
September 2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Revenue Recognition Topic of
FASB ASC. This guidance updates the accounting and expands disclosures for
multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or
services separately rather than as a combined unit. The update will be effective
prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Management is currently
evaluating the impact of applying the update to the Company’s future
consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely
to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our
stockholders.

summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated
to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, which were identified in connection
with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and
15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

ITEM
3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company has not made a principal payment of $500,000 on the
Revolving Line Credit with its Senior Lender and a principal and accrued
interest payment of approximately $585,000 to the former owners of one of its
acquired subsidiaries. On April 26, 2010, the Company and the Senior and
Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders entered into amendments in which the
maturity date of the Revolving Line of Credit was extended until January 2, 2011
and the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to forbear from
accelerating or otherwise enforcing its rights and remedies with respect to
identified events of default and anticipated events of default under the loan
agreements until January 2, 2011. As part of the amendments, the Senior Lender
increased the maximum principal amount available under the Revolving Line of
Credit to $4,000,000. Additionally, any subordinated payments,
including seller financing, are not to be paid during the forbearance period
unless otherwise approved by the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior
Lenders. The Company intends to seek to amend and restructure certain unpaid
seller notes during the forbearance period. There is no guarantee that the
Company will successfully restructure any unpaid seller notes. See the
Subsequent Events – Debt Amendment and Seller Financing sections of ITEM 2 of
the MD&A.
ITEM
4. (Removed and Reserved)
ITEM
5. Other Information
In July
2009, the Company executed a contract to sell the flex administration business
to the Total Administrative Services Corporation (“TASC”) which is expected to
be closed in the second quarter of 2010. As part of the contract, TASC will pay
the Company a percentage of the annual revenues transferred sixty days after
closing, a percentage of annual revenues based bonus payment if a target
retention level is obtained nine months after closing and a percentage of
ongoing revenues beginning thirteen months after closing. This transaction is
not material to the financial statements and thus is not necessary to be
disclosed separately in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
In addition, this transaction does not meet the definition of a capital
transaction as defined in the Debt Financing Arrangements section of ITEM 2 of
the MD&A.
On April
26, 2010, the Company entered into amendments to the Senior Loan Agreement and
Subordinated Senior Agreement with its Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior
Lenders. The terms of the amendments are discussed further in the Subsequent
Events – Debt Amendments section of ITEM 2 of the MD&A. As a result of the
amendments, the Company is restricted from paying any seller notes without the
authorization of the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders as
discussed further in the Seller Financing section of ITEM 2 of the
MD&A.
