PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

US Dataworks is a developer of payment processing software, serving banking institutions, credit card issuers, major retailers and the United States Government. We generate revenue from the licensing, professional services, transaction processing and maintenance of our core product, Clearingworks. Our software is designed to enable organizations to process payments from a variety of sources: paper checks, electronic payments via the Internet or telephone, and other payment modalities. Our products are designed to provide organizations with either an in-house solution complementing the organizations’ existing technologies, systems and operational workflow or by using Clearingworks via the Internet on an Application Services Provider.

Background

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado as JLQ, Inc. in December 1994, and we changed our name to New World Publishing in October 1997. In May 1999, we acquired Communications Television, Inc., a California corporation, and changed our business to an Internet marketing and technology infrastructure company specializing in supporting cost effective business-to-business and business-to-consumer revenue based marketing initiatives. In October 1999, we changed our name to Sonicport.com, Inc. and in February 2000, we re-incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. In February 2001, we changed our name again to Sonicport, Inc.  In April 2001, we acquired a Delaware corporation known as US Dataworks, Inc., following which we focused our business on developing electronic check processing software. In March 2002, we changed our name to US Dataworks, Inc. and in May 2002, we merged the Delaware corporation known as US Dataworks, Inc. into the Company.

Products

Clearingworks is an enterprise payment solution that puts the power of payment processing in the hands of the customer. This leading-edge solution combines remittance, retail, check, payment, and return processing into a single consolidated platform with highly-scalable features to grow in tandem with the customer’s business operation. Clearingworks’ shared services and data management features eliminate the need to adopt multiple payment processing systems in order to process and accommodate different payment types. Clearingworks” Least Cost Routing/Best Fit ClearingSM solution uses the latest industry-leading technology coupled with the customer’s banking relationships to determine the most efficient method for payment settlement.

Customers

US Dataworks’ sells its products into several vertical markets within the market segments of Corporate Payments, Retail Payments, and Government. Customers include credit card issuers, major retailers and the United States Government.  Two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and American Express, accounted for 58%, and 9%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010. Three of our customers, American Express, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and Regulus, accounted for 47%, 22%, and 9%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Strategic Business Relationships

We have enhanced our distribution channel by aligning ourselves with key strategic distribution partners to sell and distribute our software products in order to accelerate our revenue growth and capture of market share. We have aligned ourselves with several strategic partners as a core component of our sales and distribution strategy, including Computer Sciences Corporation, C$ cMoney, Inc., The Bankers Bank, and CDS Global.

Competition

Our competitors in the financial services market include Wausau Financial Systems, J&B Software, Fiserv and Metavante. The services offered by these and other competitors include electronic billing and payment, electronic funds transfer, payment solutions, reconciliation, checks by phone and recurring billing, as well as value-added services such as strategy consulting, marketing and technology infrastructure.

We believe that the principal competitive factors influencing our success in these markets include:

 
·
reputation for reliability and service;

 
·
serving multiple market segments;

 
·
supporting multiple payment types;

 
·
breadth and quality of services;

 
·
technological innovation and understanding client strategies and needs;

 
·
creative design and systems engineering expertise;

 
·
easy-to-use software;

 
·
effective customer support;

 
·
processing speed and accuracy; and

 
·
pricing.

We believe we compete favorably with respect to these factors. However, the market for payment processing software is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to significant technological change. As this market grows, we expect competition to increase. Increased competition may result in price reductions and reduced margins.

We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully. If we fail to compete successfully, we may fail to gain market share or lose existing market share and our financial condition, operating results and business could be adversely affected.

Patents and Trademarks

US Dataworks has obtained trademarks on the names of our premier products and services, including Clearingworks. We also have applied for a patent on ImageKey and Scan-N-Go Process. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property.

Government Regulation

As a processor of ACH payments, we must comply with federal laws governing the processing of electronic transactions. We are in compliance with all such federal laws and work closely with NACHA to ensure our systems remain compliant with applicable laws and regulations, as well as NACHA guidelines.

Employees

As of June 18, 2010, we have 36 employees, all of whom are full-time employees. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement with our employees. We believe our employee relations to be good.

Research and Development

For fiscal 2010 and 2009, we spent approximately $886,556 and $841,577, respectively, on research and development activities.
 
ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information in this Report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating us and our business.
 
We have a significant amount of debt coming due in fiscal 2014 that we may not be able to repay.

We have approximately $3.1 million of debt that we owe certain company insiders that is due and payable on January 1, 2014, all of which is secured by a lien on all of our properties and assets, including all of our accounts receivable.  While we expect to build enough cash by January 1, 2014 to pay off these obligations, such may not be the case.  If we are not able to make this ballon payment, we will need to refinance this debt or arrange to have the maturity date extended. While we expect to be able to refinance this debt or reach an agreement to extend the maturity date of this debt if necessary, there can be no assurances that this will in fact occur.  In such case, failure to refinance or extend the maturity date of this debt will give the secured holders of such debt the right to foreclose on our properties and assets, including our accounts receivables.  If these foreclosure rights are exercised, we will be forced to file for protection available under federal bankruptcy laws, which will likely render our equity, including our issued and outstanding common stock, valueless.

We have a general history of losses and may not operate profitably in the future.

We have incurred losses for the last three fiscal years ended March 31, 2009. While we achieved positive cash flow  and net income in fiscal 2010, that may not continue in the future. As of March 31, 2010, our accumulated deficit was $64,510,785. We believe that our planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on our ability to promote our brand name and gain clients and expand our relationships with clients for whom we would provide licensing agreements and system integration. Accordingly, we intend to invest heavily in marketing, strategic partnership, development of our client base and development of our marketing technology and operating infrastructure. If we are not successful in promoting our brand name and expanding our client base, it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to continue to operate our business.
 
4

 
Our ability to continue as a going concern may be contingent upon our ability to secure capital from prospective investors or lenders.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business., We believe we currently have adequate cash to fund anticipated cash needs through March 31, 2011. However, we may need to raise additional capital in the future. Any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, will increase expenses and may involve restrictive covenants. We may be required to raise additional capital, at times and in amounts that are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. In addition, there may be limited access to capital due to being listed on OTC Bulletin Board. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Under these circumstances, if we are unable to obtain additional capital or are required to raise it on undesirable terms, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, which could require us to:

 
curtail our operations significantly;

 
sell significant assets;

 
seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require us to relinquish significant rights to products, technologies or markets; or

 
explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of US Dataworks.

Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our operating results are subject to fluctuations caused by many factors that could cause us to fail to achieve our revenue or profitability expectations, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

Our operating results can vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:

 
·
market acceptance of and changes in demand for our products and services;

 
·
gain or loss of clients or strategic relationships;

 
·
announcement or introduction of new software, services and products by us or by our competitors;

 
·
our ability to build brand recognition;

 
·
timing of sales to customers;

 
·
price competition;

 
·
our ability to upgrade and develop systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;

 
·
our ability to attract and integrate new personnel in a timely and effective manner;

 
·
our ability to introduce and market products and services in accordance with market demand;

 
·
changes in governmental regulation;

 
·
reduction in or delay of capital spending by our clients due to the effects of terrorism, war and political instability; and

 
·
general economic conditions, including economic conditions specific to the financial services industry.

In addition, from time to time we derive a portion of our revenue from agreements signed at the end of the reporting period. Our operating results could suffer if the timing of these agreements is delayed. Depending on the type of agreements we enter into, we may not be able to recognize revenue under these agreements in the reporting period in which they are signed. These factors could negatively affect demand for our products and services, and our future operating results.
 
5

 
Most of our operating expenses are relatively fixed in the short-term. We may be unable to adjust spending rapidly to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfall, which could harm our operating results. Because of the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we do not have the ability to predict future operating results with any certainty. Because of the above factors, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of results of operation as an indication of future performances.
 
We may not be able to develop or maintain our relationships with distribution partners, which may cause our cash flow to decline.

We may not be able to maintain or develop new relationships with distribution channel partners. These strategic relationships are a core component of our sales and distribution strategy and are a part of our growth strategy. The loss of a distribution channel partner could harm our operating results.

Because a small number of customers have historically accounted for and may in future periods account for substantial portions of our revenue, our revenue could decline because of delays of customer orders or the failure to retain customers.

We have a small number of customers that account for a significant portion of our revenue. Our revenue could decline because of a delay in signing agreements with a single customer or the failure to retain an existing customer. We may not obtain additional customers. The failure to obtain additional customers and the failure to retain existing customers will harm our operating results.

If general economic and business conditions do not improve, we may experience decreased revenue or lower growth rates.

The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends on the overall demand for computer software and services in the product segments in which we compete. Because our sales are primarily to major financial services and government customers, our business also depends on general economic and business conditions. A softening of demand caused by a weakening of the economy may result in decreased revenue or lower growth rates. As a result, we may not be able to effectively promote future license revenue growth in our application business.

We may not be able to attract, retain or integrate key personnel, which may prevent us from successfully operating our business.

We may not be able to retain our key personnel or attract other qualified personnel in the future. Our success will depend upon the continued service of key management personnel. The loss of services of any of the key members of our management team or our failure to attract and retain other key personnel could disrupt operations and have a negative effect on employee productivity and morale and harm our operating results.

We operate in markets that are intensely and increasingly competitive, and if we are unable to compete successfully, our revenue could decline and we may be unable to gain and may lose market share.

The market for financial services software is highly competitive. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, product offerings and evolving demands of the marketplace.

Some of our competitors have:

 
·
longer operating histories;

 
·
larger installed customer bases;

 
·
greater name recognition and longer relationships with clients; and

 
·
significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources than US Dataworks.

Our competitors may also be better positioned to address technological and market developments or may react more favorably to technological changes. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including:

 
·
the breadth and quality of services;
 
6

 
 
·
creative design and systems engineering expertise;

 
·
pricing;

 
·
technological innovation; and

 
·
understanding clients’ strategies and needs.

Competitors may develop or offer strategic services that provide significant technological, creative, performance, price or other advantages over the services we offer. If we fail to gain market share or lose existing market share, our financial condition, operating results and business could be adversely affected and the value of the investment in us could be reduced significantly. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully.

We may be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of our client’s sensitive information, and any unauthorized use or disclosure could result in substantial damages and harm our reputation.

The services we provide for our clients may grant us access to confidential or proprietary client information. Any unauthorized disclosure or use could result in a claim against us for substantial damages and could harm our reputation. Our contractual provisions attempting to limit these damages may not be enforceable in all instances or may otherwise fail to adequately protect us from liability for damages which would have a negative impact on our operating results.

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our business may suffer, we may lose revenue or we may be required to spend significant time and resources to defend our intellectual property rights.

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual procedures to protect our intellectual property rights. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, our business may suffer from the piracy of our technology and the associated loss in revenue. Any patents that we may hold may not sufficiently protect our intellectual property and may be challenged by third parties. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, may not prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property. These infringement claims or any future claims could cause us to spend significant time and money to defend our intellectual property rights, redesign our products or develop or license a substitute technology. We may be unsuccessful in acquiring or developing substitute technology and any required license may be unavailable on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In the event of litigation to determine the validity of any third party claims or claims by us against such third party, such litigation, whether or not determined in our favor, could result in significant expense and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, regardless of the outcome of such litigation. Furthermore, other parties may also independently develop similar or competing products that do not infringe upon our intellectual property rights.

We may be unable to consummate future potential acquisitions or investments or successfully integrate acquired businesses or investments or foreign operations with our business, which may disrupt our business, divert management’s attention and slow our ability to expand the range of our technologies and products.

We intend to continue to expand the range of our technologies and products, and we may acquire or make investments in additional complementary businesses, technologies or products, if appropriate opportunities arise. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates at reasonable prices or on reasonable terms, or consummate future acquisitions or investments, each of which could slow our growth strategy. We have no prior history or experience in investing in or acquiring and integrating complementary businesses and therefore may have difficulties completing such transactions or realizing the benefits of such transactions, or they may have a negative effect on our business. Such investments or acquisitions could require us to devote a substantial amount of time and resources and could place a significant strain on our management and personnel. To finance any acquisitions, we may choose to issue equity based instruments, which would dilute your interest in us. Any future acquisitions by us also could result in significant write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm our operating results.
 
 
The Company currently has warrants outstanding pursuant to which the holders thereof could purchase a total of 4,651,162 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share (the “Investor Warrants”).  Except in certain limited circumstances, if the Company issues or sells shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) at a price (or a conversion or exchange price) below $0.43 per share, (i) the exercise price of the Investor Warrants would be reduced to that lower sale (or conversion or exchange) price and (ii) the number of shares underlying the Investor Warrants would be increased by the ratio of the current per share warrant exercise price ($0.43) to the lower adjusted exercise price.  While the Company has not issued or sold shares of Common Stock or other securities that triggered these anti-dilution provisions, there can be no assurance that it will not do so in the future.  If the Company does issue or sell shares of Common Stock or other securities that trigger these anti-dilution provisions, the dilutive effect of such an issuance will be exacerbated by the additional dilutive effect of the adjustments to the exercise price of, and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying, the Investor Warrants. The existence of the Investor Warrants could make investments in the Company less attractive.
 
Our recent sales efforts may not produce the desired results.
 
The Company has recently supplemented its sales infrastructure to focus on generating business from new customers.  The Company’s future success, particularly its ability to grow revenue, will depend largely upon the success of this effort.  While these new sales efforts have introduced a number of new customers into the Company’s sales pipeline, there can be no assurance that this sales pipeline will ultimately result in new customers.  Failure of this new sales effort to produce new and profitable revenue sources will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operating results.

The market for our common stock is subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions, which could impair liquidity and make trading difficult.

Because our common stock is no longer listed on the NYSE Alternext US (formerly the AMEX) and because it continues to trade at a market price of less than $5.00 per share, it is deemed to be a “penny stock” under SEC rules and regulations.  This classification adversely affects the market liquidity for the Company’s common stock by placing a number of restrictions and requirements on brokers and dealers in purchasing, or effecting the purchase of, penny stocks.  Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to process the additional paperwork, make the additional disclosures and/or take the other additional actions required under the regulations in connection with purchasing our common stock.  This in turn will have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our common stock and make it more difficult for a holder of our common stock to sell his or her shares at the desired price.

Holders

As of June 23, 2010, the 33,145,576  issued and outstanding shares of our common stock were held by 318 stockholders of record.  Because many of the shares of our common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of beneficial owners represented by these stockholders of record.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business.

In the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 23, 2010 (the “Prior 8-K”), the Company released certain preliminary unaudited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2010 (the “Preliminary Results”). One of the transactions contributing to these previously reported results involved entering into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with C$ cMoney, Inc. (“C$Money”) on March 27, 2010 pursuant to which the Company sold a license to C$Money to use the Company’s Clearingworks software and agreed to issue to C$Money five-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.45 per share. The total consideration for these transactions (the “C$Money Transactions”) was $1,000,000 and was payabale on or before April 12, 2010. The warrants were valued at approximately $187,002. As a result, we planned to record the effect of the C$Money Transactions in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 by recording a $1,000,000 receivable and recognizing $812,998 of license fee revenue and $187,002 as additional paid in capital. However as of the date of this Report, the $1,000,000 payment has not been received. Subsequent to the issuance of the Prior 8-K, the Company determined that it is not able to record the effects of the C$Money Transactions in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and expects to record the effects of the C$Money Transactions in fiscal 2011. As a result, the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2010 reported herein differ from the Preliminary Results. Specifically, the Company’s revenue, operating income and net income for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2010 is $812,998 less than previously reported and the Company’s stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2010, is $1,000,000 less than previously reported.
 
Restatement

As more fully discussed in Note 10 of our financial statements, we have restated our previously issued financial statements for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the related quarters within those fiscal years.  The discussion and analysis (MD&A) reflect these adjustments and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes in Item 8 of this Report. See also “Item 9B. Other Information.”

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition the valuation of our intangible assets, and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements), the following are critical accounting policies, which may involve a higher degree of judgment, complexity and estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues associated with our software products in accordance with the provisions of the  FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 985 – 605, “Software – Revenue Recognition” (formerly American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”). We license our software products under non-exclusive, non-transferable license agreements. Because these agreements do not require significant production, modification or customization, revenue is recognized when the license agreement has been signed, the software product has been delivered, the related fee is fixed or determinable and collection of such fee is probable.

In certain instances, we license our software on a transactional fee basis in lieu of an up-front licensing fee. In these arrangements, the customer is charged a fee based upon the number of items processed by the software and we recognize revenue as these transactions occur. The transaction fee also includes the provision of standard maintenance and support services as well as product upgrades should such upgrades become available.

If professional services are provided in connection with the installation of the software licensed, revenue is recognized when those services have been provided.

In certain instances, the Company will recognize revenue on a percent of completion basis for the portion of professional services related to customized customer projects that have been completed but are not yet deliverable to customer.

For license agreements that include a separately identifiable fee for contracted maintenance services, such revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance agreement noted in the license agreement, but following any installation period of the software.

In certain instances, the Company enters into arrangements that include multiple elements, where fees are allocated to the various elements based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value.

Classification of labor-related expenses within the income statement - change in application of accounting principle

The Company categorizes its personnel into five separate functional departments: Professional Services (“Services”), Software Maintenance  (“Maintenance”), Research and Development (“R&D”), Sales and Marketing (“S&M”) and General and Administrative (“Administrative”). Effective as of November 14, 2009, the Company implemented certain changes in the way it applies the accounting principle regarding the classification of labor related expenses as either cost of sales or operating expenses in the income statement.

Prior to November 14, 2009, the Company used the following approach to classify such expenses. The Company’s costs incurred employing personnel working in its Services, Maintenance and R&D functions were classified as either cost of sales or operating expenses depending on whether the hours worked by such personnel were billable as professional or maintenance services to the customer. If the hours worked were billable to the customer, the costs were classified as cost of sales while all non-billable hours worked and all costs associated with vacation pay, holiday pay and training for such personnel were classified as operating expenses.

Effective as of November 14, 2009, the Company implemented the following new approach to classify such expenses. All of the Company’s labor costs including benefits incurred employing personnel working in its Services and Maintenance functions are classified as cost of sales regardless of whether the hours worked by such personnel are billable to the customer. All of the Company’s costs incurred employing personnel working in its R&D, S&M and Administrative functions are classified as operating expenses.

The Company believes that these changes in accounting policy enable it to better reflect the costs of its five functional departments and the overall reporting of gross profit and margins, from period to period.

In order to conform to the current application adopted in September of 2009, the Company reclassified a net of $118,229 from operating expenses to cost of sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended March 31, 2010. To conform to the current application, the Company reclassified a net of $208,684 from operating expenses to cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a net of $145,635 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, a net of $176,725 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, $194,759 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and a total net of $725,803 from operating expenses to cost of sales for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We extend credit to our customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure our accounts receivables. We evaluate our accounts receivable on a regular basis for the ability to collect and provide for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.

Two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and American Express, accounted for 58%, and 9%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010. Three of our customers, American Express, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and Regulus, accounted for 47%, 22%, and 9%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2009.
 
At March 31, 2010, amounts due from two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Regulus, accounted for 71% and 14%, respectively, of accounts receivable than outstanding.
 
At March 31, 2009, amounts due from four of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, American Express, Inc., Fairfax Imaging, Inc., and Regulus, accounts for 25%, 19%, 15% and 15%, respectively, of accounts receivable then outstanding.
 
Results of Operations

The results of operations reflected in this discussion include the operations of US Dataworks for the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009.

Revenue

We generate revenues from (a) licensing software with fees due at the initial term of the license, (b) licensing and supporting software with fees due on a transactional basis (c) providing maintenance, enhancement and support for previously licensed products, and (d) providing professional services.

(In 000’s)
       
                   
Software licensing revenues

Software transactional revenues
    2,026       2,158       (6.1 )%
Software maintenance revenues

Total revenues
  $ 8.531     $ 7,997       6.7 %

The decrease in transactional revenue was primarily attributable to the loss of two customers one of whom chose to take the processing of their items in-house. The increase in professional service revenue was primarily attributable to the ongoing consulting agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.  Software licensing revenue increase is attributable to the sale of the ClearHistory license to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in fiscal 2010.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales principally include the costs of our personnel who perform the services associated with our software maintenance, support, training and installation activities, and the cost of third party software sold in conjunction with licenses of our software to convert electronic data into acceptable formats utilized by the Nation’s banking system. Total cost of sales decreased by $62,704, or 2.2%, from $2,885,383, as adjusted for the change in application of accounting policy in fiscal 2009 to $2,822,679 in fiscal 2010. The decrease in cost of sales is due to a decrease in labor costs of $50,000, a decrease in outside consultants labor costs of $72,000 offset by an increase of $59,000 in third party software purchased for resale to our customers.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by $354,426, or 8.0%, as adjusted for the change in application of accounting policy,  from $4,431,625  in fiscal 2009 to $4,786,051 in fiscal 2010.

General and administrative expenses increased $1,955 from $2,801,265, as adjusted for the change in application of accounting policy, for the year ended March 31, 2009 to $2,803,220 for the year ended March 31, 2010. The increase was attributable to a $47,000 increase in payroll expenses, a $36,000 increase in computer hardware expense, a $21,000 increase in office expense, a $245,000 increase in outside consultants expense, a $44,000 increase in director fees, and a $11,000 increase in telephone expense. These increases were offset by decreases in legal expenses of $172,000, accounting fees of $19,000, stock-based compensation of $68,000, salary expense of $90,000 and various other expenses including dues and subscriptions, licenses, rent, and travel totaling $53,000.

Sales and Marketing expenses increased $345,861 from $601,340, as adjusted for the change in application of accounting policy, for the year ended March 31, 2009 to $947,201 for the year ended March 31, 2010. The increase is attributable to an increase in personnel cost of $264,000, a $75,000 increase in travel and meal expense, and a $7,000 increase in trade show expense and exhibits.

Research and development expenses increased $44,979 from $841,577, as adjusted for the change in application of accounting policy, for the year ended March 31, 2009 to $886,556 for the year ended March 31, 2010. The increase is primarily associated with an increase of $31,000 associated with salary expense, an  increase of $11,000 in outside consultants and a $3,000 increase in travel expense.

Our depreciation and amortization expense decreased $38,369 from $187,443 for the year ended March 31, 2009 to $149,074 for the year ended March 31, 2010. This decrease is attributable to a number of our property and equipment items attaining a fully depreciated state during the past fiscal year.

Our headcount at March 31, 2010 was 36 as compared to 35 at March 31, 2009.
 
Other Income (Expense)
 
Total other income (expense), including interest expense and financing costs, decreased $1,759,243, from an expense of $2,701,432 in fiscal 2009 to an expense of $942,189 in fiscal 2010. The decrease is principally due to the $2,534,210 in interest expense related to the convertible promissory notes which were refinanced in fiscal year 2009, and a $106,000 decrease in financing costs, offset by an increase in interest expense of $189,000, an absence of derivative income of $621,000 as compared to the prior year and a reduction in interest earned of $71,000 as compared to the prior year.

Net Income

Net income increased by $2,002,231, or 99.0%, from a net loss of $2,021,452 in fiscal 2009 to a net loss of $19,221 in fiscal 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Because of our ability to grow revenue while at the same time reducing general and administrative expenses, we experienced positive cash flow from operations in fiscal years 2010 and in 2009. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we obtained a three-year term loan and restructured our notes payable-related party such that $972,222 was due in 35 monthly installments of  $27,778 and $3,092,245 is due January 1, 2014.

In addition, while we expect to be able to fund our operations from cash flow, if that is not the case, our long term viability will again depend on our ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to fund the continuation of our business operations and to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows to sustain our operations. We will need to increase revenues from software licenses, transaction-based software license contracts and professional services agreements to become profitable.
 
12

 
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $40,679 from $403,863 at March 31, 2009 to $444,542 at March 31, 2010. Cash  provided by operating activities was $290,252 in fiscal 2010 as compared to $279,446 in fiscal 2009.

Cash used for investing activities for fiscal 2009 and 2010 consisted of the purchase of property and equipment totaling $14,538 and $13,086, respectively.

Financing activities used net cash of $236,487 in fiscal 2010 and included $1,000,000 in proceeds from a note payable with Silicon Valley Bank, offset by $1,111,255 in repayment of related party notes, $27,778 in repayment of the Silicon Valley Bank note, and $35,276 in notes payable to a vendor.

Financing activities used net cash of $764,438 in fiscal 2009, and included $3,703,500 in proceeds from a related party loan, offset by $4,000,000 repayment of convertible promissory notes, $432,659 in deferred financing costs and $35,279 in notes payable to a vendor.
 
We believe we currently have adequate capital resources to fund our anticipated cash needs through March 31, 2011. However, an adverse business or legal development could require us to raise additional financing sooner than anticipated. We recognize that we may be required to raise such additional capital, at times and in amounts, which are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. If we are unable to raise additional capital or are required to raise it on terms that are less satisfactory than we desire, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In the event we raise additional equity, these financings may result in dilution to existing shareholders.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“the Codification”). The Codification, which was launched on July 1, 2009, became the single source of authoritative non-governmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), superseding various existing authoritative accounting pronouncements. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification had no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Fair Value Measurements: In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value  (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in 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 of such liability using one or more of the techniques prescribed by the update. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. There was no change to our financial statements due to the implementation of this guidance.
 
Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements  (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires the relative selling price method when allocating deliverables of a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. The determination of the selling price for each deliverable requires the use of a hierarchy designed to maximize the use of available objective evidence, including VSOE, third party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), or estimated selling price (“ESP”).
 
13

 
In October 2009, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985)—Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements  (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 excludes tangible products containing software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of ASC 605-985,  Software-Revenue Recognition .
 
ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and must be adopted in the same period using the same transition method. If adoption is elected in a period other than the beginning of a fiscal year, the amendments in these standards must be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year. Full retrospective application of these amendments to prior fiscal years is optional. Early adoption of these standards may be elected. We are currently evaluating the impact of these new accounting standards on our financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements  (“ASU 2010-06”). Reporting entities will have to provide information about movements of assets among Levels 1 and 2; and a reconciliation of purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of activity valued with a Level 3 method, of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). The ASU 2010-06 also clarifies the existing guidance to require fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 for Level 1 and 2 disclosure requirements and after December 15, 2010 for Level 3 disclosure requirements. Management does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect to the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

US Dataworks, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of US Dataworks, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of US Dataworks, Inc. as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company restated its March 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 financial statements.

Organization and Business

General

US Dataworks, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, develops, markets, and supports payment processing software for the financial services industry. Its customer base includes many of the largest financial institutions as well as credit card companies, government institutions, and high-volume merchants in the United States. The Company was formerly known as Sonicport, Inc.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM, (“Codification” or “ASC”) became the source of authoritative Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (‘GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; rather, these updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change (s) in the Codification. SFAS No. 168 is incorporated in ASC Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company adopted SFAS No. 168 in the second quarter of 2009, and the Company will provide reference to both the Codification topic reference and the previously authoritative references related to Codification topics and subtopics, as appropriate.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues associated with our software services in accordance with the provisions of the ASC Topic No. 985 – 605, “Software – Revenue Recognition” (formerly American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”). The Company licenses its software products under nonexclusive, nontransferable license agreements. These agreements do not require significant production, modification, or customization. Therefore, revenue is recognized when such a license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software product has occurred, the related fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.

In certain instances, the Company licenses its software on a transactional fee basis in lieu of an up-front licensing fee. In these arrangements, the customer is charged a fee based upon the number of items processed by the software and the Company recognizes revenue as these transactions occur. The transaction fee also includes the provision of standard maintenance and support services as well as product upgrades should such upgrades become available.

If professional services were provided in conjunction with the installation of the software licensed, revenue is recognized when these services have been provided.

In certain instances, the Company will recognize revenue on a percent of completion basis for the portion of professional services related to customized customer projects that have been completed but are not yet deliverable to customer.

For license agreements that include a separately identifiable fee for contracted maintenance services, such maintenance revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance agreement noted in the agreement, but following any installation period of the software.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 
In certain instances, the Company enters into arrangements that include multiple elements, where fees are allocated to the various elements based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains cash deposits with a major bank that, from time-to-time, may exceed federally insured limits; however the Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Telephone equipment
5 to 10 years
Computer equipment
5 years
Computer software
5 years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of initial lease period or
 
useful life of asset

Maintenance and minor replacements are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets 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 the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill

The goodwill recorded on the Company’s books is from the acquisition of US Dataworks, Inc. in fiscal year 2001 which remains the Company’s single reporting unit. FASB ASC Topic No. 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Intangibles” (formerly SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), requires goodwill for each reporting unit of an entity be tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for each reportable unit. On an ongoing basis, absent any impairment indicators, the Company performs impairment tests annually during the fourth quarter.

FASB ASC Topic No. 350 requires goodwill to be tested annually and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reportable unit below its carrying amount. The Company did not have an impairment of goodwill to record for the year ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company includes fair value information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from book value. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made. Fair value estimates of financial instruments are based on relevant market information and may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. The Company believes that the carrying value of its assets and liabilities approximate fair value of such items. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

US DATAWORKS INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 
On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which is incorporated in ASC Topic No. 820 - 10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC Topic No. 820 - 10, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC Topic No. 820 – 10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic No. 820 – 10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 
Level 1.
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
 
Level 2.
Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
 
Level 3.
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no assets or liabilities that were marked to fair value under ASC Topic No. 820 - 10.

Convertible Debt Financing – Derivative Liabilities

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument.  In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.  Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

In accordance with ASC Topic No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (formerly SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”), as amended, the convertible debt holder’s conversion right provision, interest rate adjustment provision, liquidated damages clause, cash premium option, and the redemption option (collectively, the debt features) contained in the terms governing the convertible notes are not clearly and closely related to the characteristics of the notes.  Accordingly, the features qualify as embedded derivative instruments at issuance and, because they do not qualify for any scope exception within ASC Topic No. 815, they are required to be accounted for separately from the debt instrument and recorded as derivative instrument liabilities.

Stock Options

The Company follows the guidance cited in ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, (formerly SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment) to account for its stock options. ASC Topic No. 18 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company adopted ASC Topic No. 718 using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of April 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2007. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC Topic No. 718, which consists of stock-based compensation expense related to employee and director stock options and restricted stock issuances, for the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 was $253,992, and $321,967 respectively, which consists of stock-based compensation expense related to employee and director stock options and restricted stock issuances.

US DATAWORKS INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 
ASC Topic No. 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statement of operations. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Compensation expense recognized for all employee stock options awards granted is recognized over their respective vesting periods unless the vesting period is graded. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statement of Operations for the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures as per the tables below.

Upon adoption of ASC Topic No. 718, the Company continued to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions for estimating the fair value of employee stock options granted at the date of the grant. In determining the compensation cost of the options granted during the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31,  2009, as specified by ASC Topic No. 718, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the weighted average assumptions used in these calculations are summarized as follows:

   
For the Year Ending
 
   
March 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Risk-free Interest Rate
         0.90 %          2.46 %
Expected Life of Options Granted

Expected Volatility
    208 %     189 %
Expected Dividend Yield
    0       0  
Expected Forfeiture Rate
    30 %     30 %

As of March 31, 2010, there was approximately $62,943 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 3 years.

Warrants

Warrants are valued using the lattice model using assumptions of market price at the time of grant, annual volatility and likelihood of exercise. In determining the cost of the warrants granted during the year ended March 31, 2010, the value of each such warrant has been estimated on the date of grant and the assumptions used in these calculations are summarized as follows:  Market price of stock of $0.23, volatility of 134%, that the holders would exercise the warrants at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price and the holders would exercise the warrants as they become exercisable at the target price of $.90 and lowering such target as the warrants approached maturity.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded advertising expense of $131,050 and $124,314 respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes, if applicable, represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 
In June 2006, FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, which is incorporated in ASC Topic No. 740, “Income Taxes”, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with FASB 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  ASC Topic No. 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company does not have any uncertain tax position meeting the threshold prescribed by ASC Topic No. 740.

Income and Loss per Share

The Company calculates income and loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 260 – 10, “Earnings Per Share” (formerly SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”).Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

The following potential common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (options and warrants typically convert on a one for one basis, see conversion details of the preferred stock stated below for the common stock shares issuable upon conversion):

    109,933       109,933  

(a) The Series B preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion ratio of one to one.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company sells its products throughout the United States and extends credit to its customers. It also performs ongoing credit evaluations of such customers. The Company does not obtain collateral to secure its accounts receivable. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectibility and provides for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.

Two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and American Express, accounted for 58% and 9%, respectively, of   our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010. Three of our customers, American Express, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Regulus, accounted for 47%, 22%, and 9%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2009.

US DATAWORKS INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 At March 31, 2010, amounts due from two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Regulus, accounted 71% and 14%, respectively, of accounts receivable then outstanding.

At March 31, 2009, amounts due from four of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, American Express, Inc., Fairfax Imaging Inc., and Regulus, accounted for 25%, 19%, 15%, and 15%, respectively, of Accounts Receivable then outstanding.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Fair Value Measurements: In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value  (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in 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 of such liability using one or more of the techniques prescribed by the update. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. There was no change to our financial statements due to the implementation of this guidance.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements  (“ASU 2010-06”). Reporting entities will have to provide information about movements of assets among Levels 1 and 2; and a reconciliation of purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of activity valued with a Level 3 method, of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). The ASU 2010-06 also clarifies the existing guidance to require fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 for Level 1 and 2 disclosure requirements and after December 15, 2010 for Level 3 disclosure requirements. Management does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect to the financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements  (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires the relative selling price method when allocating deliverables of a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. The determination of the selling price for each deliverable requires the use of a hierarchy designed to maximize the use of available objective evidence, including VSOE, third party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), or estimated selling price (“ESP”).
 
In October 2009, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985)—Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements  (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 excludes tangible products containing software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of ASC 605-985,  Software-Revenue Recognition.
 
ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and must be adopted in the same period using the same transition method. If adoption is elected in a period other than the beginning of a fiscal year, the amendments in these standards must be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year. Full retrospective application of these amendments to prior fiscal years is optional. Early adoption of these standards may be elected. We are currently evaluating the impact of these new accounting standards on our financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the balance sheet, prior year net income, or statement of cash flows.

Notes Payable -  Related Parties

On November 13, 2007, the Company completed its financing with certain institutional investors that included the issuance of $4,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes due November 13, 2010 (the “Prior Notes”). Interest on the Prior Notes accrued at a per annum rate equal to the 6-month LIBOR rate plus five hundred basis points. The Prior Notes were convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $0.43 per share. The financing also included the issuance of warrants to purchase a total of 4,651,162 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable until November 13, 2012 and include anti-dilution provisions that will adjust the number of shares of common stock underlying the Warrants as well as the exercise price of the Warrants in certain instances involving the Company’s issuance of common stock below the exercise price of $0.43 per share. From the date of issuance through the date that the Prior Notes were paid in full, the conversion feature of the Prior Notes and the Warrants was accounted for as an embedded derivative in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815. The Prior Notes were redeemed in full and retired on August 13, 2008 using the proceeds from the Company’s issuance of the Refinance Notes (discussed below).

In connection with the redemption of the Prior Notes, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement and issued an aggregate of $3,703,500 Senior Secured Notes due August 13, 2009 (the “Redemption Refinance Notes”). The Redemption Refinance Notes were purchased by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Directors (“Holders”). As originally issued, the Redemption Refinance Notes bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum with interest payments due in arrears monthly.

Pursuant to the Redemption Refinance Notes as originally issued, if the Company fails to pay any amount of principal, interest, or other amounts when and as due, then the Redemption Refinance Notes will bear an interest rate of 18% until such time as the Company cures this default. In addition, if the Company is subject to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, the Redemption Refinance Notes provide that the Holders may redeem all or a portion of the Redemption Refinance Notes. As of December 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

The Redemption Refinance Notes are secured by a Security Agreement, dated August 13, 2008, by and between the Company and the Holders, pursuant to which the Company granted the Holders a security interest in all its personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including but not limited to, all accounts receivable, copyrights, trademarks, licenses, equipment and all proceeds as from such collateral.

On February 19, 2009, US Dataworks, Inc. (the "Company") entered into Note Modification Agreements with the holders of the Redemption Refinance Notes. Effective as of February 19, 2009, the Note Modification Agreements amended the Redemption Refinance Notes as follows: (1) the maturity date of the Redemption Refinance Notes was extended from August 13, 2009 to December 31, 2009; (2) the annual interest rate on the Redemption Refinance Notes increased from 12% to 13%; and (3) the interest rate escalation clause related to an event of default was deleted. The Note Modification Agreements also added a mandatory principal payment provision that required the Company to reduce the principal balance of the Redemption Refinance Notes by 3% of the original principal amount of the Redemption Refinance Notes after the end of each calendar quarter starting with March 31, 2009 as long as such payment would not reduce the Company's cash balance below $500,000 as of the last day of such quarter. If making such principal payment would reduce the Company's cash balance below $500,000 as of such date, the amount of the principal payment will be reduced to the amount, if any, by which the Company's cash balance as of such date exceeds $500,000. The amount to be paid is to be determined each quarter and is not cumulative from quarter to quarter. These principal payments are to be made within 10 business days after the end of each quarter. An amendment fee of 1% of the outstanding principal balances of the Refinance Notes totaling $37,035 was expensed and paid to the holders thereof.

On May 20, 2009, the Company again entered into Note Modification Agreements with the holders of the Redemption Refinance Notes that amended the Redemption Refinance Notes as follows: (1) the Other Note (defined below) was included in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” and (2) the Company was allowed to make voluntary interest payments on the Other Note notwithstanding the fact that the Redemption Refinance Notes are otherwise senior to the Other Note.

On June 26, 2009, the Company again entered into Note Modification Agreements with the holders of the Redemption Refinance Notes that amended the Redemption Refinance Notes as follows: (1) the maturity date of the Redemption Refinance Notes was extended from December 31, 2009 to July 1, 2010; and (2) the mandatory principal payment provision was revised to provide that to the extent the Company’s cash balance at the end of each calendar quarter exceeds $611,105, one-fourth of such excess amount must be used by the Company to pay down the principal balance of the Redemption Refinance Notes and the Company has the discretion to use an additional one-fourth of such excess amount to further pay down the principal balance of the Redemption Refinance Notes. Other than this additional principal payment requirement, the principal payment provision remained unchanged. In consideration of these amendments, the Company (i) paid to the holders of the Redemption Refinance Notes a fee of $50,000 in cash on July 1, 2009 and (ii) issued to the holders of the Redemption Refinance Notes warrants to purchase 1,854,141 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share, with these warrants being subject to the additional terms specified in the Note Modification Agreements. The warrants were assigned an initial fair value of $320,157 using a lattice model with the following primary assumptions: 209% annual volatility, risk free rate of 2.58%, initial target exercise price at 200% of exercise price, and exercise behavior limited based on trading volume projections. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 470 - 50, “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (formerly EITF 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instrument”), the consideration paid to the holders has been accounted for as an additional debt discount amortized over the remaining term of the Redemption Refinance Notes. The amount amortized during the year ended March 31, 2010, associated with the debt discount is $232,674.

On September 26, 2006, the Company entered into a note payable with its Chief Executive Officer for $500,000. The note bore interest at the annual rate of 8.75%, was unsecured and was due September 25, 2007. On September 25, 2007, the Company entered into a new note payable agreement that replaced the September 2006 note. As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding balance on this note payable was $500,000 with the same terms as the September 2006 note (the “Other Note”). As originally issued, the principal, together with any unpaid accrued interest on the Other Note, was due and payable in full on demand on the earlier of: (i) the full and complete satisfaction of the Prior Notes and (ii) ninety-one (91) days following the expiration of the term of the Prior Notes, unless such date was extended by the mutual agreement of the parties.

On May 20, 2009, the Company entered into a Note Modification Agreement with the holder of the Other Note. Effective as of May 20, 2009, the Note Modification Agreement amended the Other Note as follows: (1) it was clarified that the Note was a demand note for which full payment can be required at any time on or after the maturity date; (2) the maturity date of the Note was extended to December 31, 2009; and (3) the Company was allowed to make voluntary prepayments under the Note without penalty.

On June 26, 2009, the Company again entered into a Note Modification Agreement with the holder of the Other Note that extended the maturity date of the Other Note from December 31, 2009 to July 1, 2010. In consideration of this amendment, the Company paid to the holder of the Other Note a fee of $6,667 in cash on July 1, 2009.

On February 9, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and related agreements and documents providing for a senior credit facility comprised of a revolving line of credit and a term loan (the “Credit Facility”). The initial maximum availability under the revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) is $250,000 and increases to $1,000,000 on July 1, 2010. The maturity date of the Revolver is February 8, 2011. The Revolver accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the higher of (i) 1.25% above SVB’s prime rate and (ii) 5.25% and is payable monthly. No principal payments are due on the Revolver until its maturity date. Subject to the commitment limits described above, the Company can borrow up to eighty percent (80%) of its eligible accounts receivable subject to a number of exceptions. The Company will use the proceeds from the Revolver for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had not borrowed any money on the Revolver. The amount borrowed under the term loan (the “Term Loan”) is $1,000,000. The maturity date of the Term Loan is February 9, 2013. The Term Loan accrues interest at the fixed annual rate of 6.50% and is payable monthly. Principal payments on the Term Loan will be made in thirty six equal monthly installments. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the interest rates on the Revolver and the Term Loan will increase by 5.00% on an annualized basis.

The Credit Facility requires that the Company comply with two financial covenants. The first such covenant requires that the Company maintain an “adjusted quick ratio,” measured on the last day of each month, of not less than (i) 1.15 to 1.00 from the date of closing through March 31, 2010, (ii) 1.35 to 1.00 from April 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 and (iii) 1.50 to 1.00 after July 1, 2010, with the “adjusted quick ratio” being defined as (i) cash and cash equivalents plus the amount of eligible accounts receivable divided by (ii) current liabilities minus deferred revenue minus the current portion of subordinated debt. The second such covenant requires that the Company maintain a “fixed charge coverage ratio,” measured on the last day of each month for the six (6) months ended on such date, of not less than 1.40 to 1.00, with the “fixed charge coverage ratio” being defined as (i) EBITDA plus non-cash stock based compensation minus cash taxes minus non-financed capital expenditures for the six months ended on the measurement date divided by (ii) the principal and interest payments owed by the Company with respect to all of its indebtedness over the six months ended on the measurement date; provided, however, that the principal and interest payments owed by the Company during the first six months following the closing date will be annualized and divided by two. As of March 31, 2010 the company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.

The valuation allowance decreased by $258,993 during the year ended March 31, 2010 and increased by $98,924 during the year ended March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $29,601,340 of federal net operating loss carryforwards attributable to losses incurred since the Company’s inception that may be offset against future taxable income through 2028. Because United States tax laws and the tax laws of most states limit the time during which NOL carryforwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOL for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income. Based on such limitations, the Company has significant NOL carryforwards for which realization of tax benefits is uncertain. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOL carryforwards could be subject to limitations if material ownership changes occur in the Company. For the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized revisions to deferred tax assets with offsetting revisions to the valuation allowance that resulted in an insignificant net change in the aggregate of total deferred tax assets less the valuation allowance.

Income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the United States federal income tax rate of 34% to loss before income taxes as follows:

Liquidity

Because of our increase in revenue, combined with a decrease in general and administrative expenses, we experienced positive cash flow from operations in fiscal years 2010 and 2009. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we restructured our notes payable-related party such that $972,222 was due in 35 monthly installments of $27,778 and $3,092,245 is due January 1, 2014.

In addition, while we expect to be able to fund our operations from cash flow, if that is not the case, our long term viability will again depend on our ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to fund the continuation of our business operations and to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows to sustain our operations. We will need to increase revenues from software licenses, transaction-based software license contracts and professional services agreements to become profitable.

Restatement of Financial Statements

On June 25, 2010, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that there were certain errors in the Company’s previously filed financial statements for the Company’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.  These errors related to the Company’s accounting for stock option expense.  Specifically, the error was caused by using a three-year life rather than a ten-year life in the expense calculations for options granted during those time periods.  To correct these errors, the Company has restated these financial statements.

As a result of the restatement, originally reported net loss for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009  was increased by $224,228, or $0.01 per share, $154,644, or $0.00 per share, and $37,140, or $0.00 per share, respectively.  These increases in net loss also correspondingly increased the additional paid in capital for those time periods by the same amounts.  The quarterly breakdown of net loss (and additional paid in capital) increases for fiscal year 2007 are $55,346, $56,192, $56,289 and $56,401 for the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.  The quarterly breakdown of net loss (and additional paid in capital) increases for fiscal year 2008 are $32,406, $78,627, $21,995 and $21,616 for first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.  The quarterly breakdown of net loss (and additional paid in capital) increases for fiscal year 2009 are $14,234, $12,189, $5,761 and $4,957 for first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.
 
The following tables reflect the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow as originally reported to amounts as restated for the applicable time periods.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLSOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, management has identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Solely as a result of this material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2010.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.   Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over our financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the [Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework]. Based on the assessment using those criteria, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management concluded that there was a material weakness regarding the calculation of stock option values based on terms other than those listed.  This material weakness resulted in errors in the Company’s accounting and disclosures for shareholders’ equity and share-based compensation expense and resulted in the restatement of the financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. We are developing and implementing new procedures to remediate the material weakness that existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010.  Specifically, we will be creating a new procedure to quarterly review accounting estimates for all equity transactions.  These procedures will be documented internal controls and will be reviewed annually.
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with management’s evaluation during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B.  OTHER INFORMATION

On June 25, 2010, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s previously filed financial statements for the Company’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 could no longer be relied upon because of certain errors in such financial statements related to the Company’s accounting for stock option expense. Specifically, the error occurred because we used a three-year life rather than a ten-year life in the expense calculations for options granted during those time periods. To correct these errors, the Company has restated these financial statements as reflected in Note 10 to the financial statements contained in this Report. On June 25, 2010, the Audit Committee discussed these matters with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ham, Langston & Brezina, LLP (“HL&B”), at which time HL&B concurred with the Audit’s Committee’s conclusion.
