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 nine months ended September 30, 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

As of September 30, 2010, the Company owned 22 operating units in fourteen states. The Company’s headquarters is located in Dublin, Ohio.
 
At September 30, 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 $25.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively. Further, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company's net income (loss) before preferred stock dividends was approximately ($0.2) million and $1.1 million, respectively and its cash flows from operations were approximately $3.0 million and $4.5 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. 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 Debt Amendments section of Note 5. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $3.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of principal outstanding under this arrangement.

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 senior 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.

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 Debt Amendments section of Note 5.  In the amendments, the Company has agreed that its senior or subordinated senior lenders may terminate their 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. The senior and subordinated lenders have elected not to terminate their forbearance agreements as of the date of this report. 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.

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. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s senior and subordinated senior lenders will not terminate their forbearance agreements with the Company, which could result in such lenders electing to declare all amounts due and payable. There is no assurance that the Company would be able to negotiate additional waivers or obtain other financing needed to continue operations of the Company.

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 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 condensed consolidated interim 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”). In 2008, the Company borrowed the remaining $7,000,000 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 were to mature on July 31, 2010; but, were extended under the April 26, 2010 amendment discussed further in the 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 was 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 September 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Line of Credit and Senior Term Note was approximately $3.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively and the interest rate was 9.25% and 4.76%, respectively. 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.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately $14.3 million and $13.0 million, respectively, were outstanding under the Subordinated Senior Agreement.

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”). 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”.

In connection with the April 26, 2010 amendments, discussed further in the 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 have approval rights for all future acquisitions and the Company is 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. On December 14, 2009, the Senior Lender further extended the Revolving Line of Credit through February 28, 2010. At February 28, 2010, the Company was 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 described further in the 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 notified 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 Debt Amendments section of this Note 5.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company continued to be out of compliance with certain restrictive covenants in the Waiver and Amendment Agreements. Under the amendments noted above, the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to continue 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.

The tabular presentation sets forth the Company’s most restrictive covenants for the trailing twelve month periods as amended by quarter for 2009 and 2010.

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 was due on May 15, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the Company paid all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Short-Term Working Capital Loan.

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, extended the maturity of the indebtedness until January 2, 2011. During the Forbearance 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. As of September 30, 2010, the Company met the above cash covenants as indicated in the following table:

The Company agreed to pay the Senior Lender an amendment fee (“Amendment Fee”) of $250,000, of which $50,000 was to be 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. As of September 30, 2010, the company paid $150,000 of the Amendment Fee and $6,000 in Monitoring Fees.

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 March 22, 2010, 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. On August 1, 2010, the Company amended the agreement with the financial advisor to replace the fixed monthly service fee with an hourly rate.

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 met the cash covenants as indicated in the table 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. As of September 30, 2010, $270,394 was outstanding under the Modification Fee agreement.

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.

On March 22, 2010, 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.

Because management believes that a sale is the most likely event to occur, the Company has estimated sale related payments to the Senior Lender and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders to be $1,598,000, which were added to deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

On August 12, 2010, the Company entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Securities Purchase and Loan Agreement with the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. In the amendment, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to convert the 6% monthly cash interest payments (“Converted Interest”) to interest compounded monthly and added to the principal amount of the Subordinated Senior Note so that the Company has available cash to make payments under its retention and recapitalization incentive plan, payments to the Company’s lead director and additional recapitalization expenses, commencing with the cash interest payment due on July 1, 2010. The retention and recapitalization incentive payments, lead director payments and recapitalization expenses are not to exceed a combined $67,000 for any month. Any shortfall in retention and recapitalization incentive payments, lead director payments and recapitalization expenses are to be paid to the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders and applied towards payment of the compounded interest. Additionally, the interest rate on the Subordinated Senior Note will increase by 2% on October 1, 2010 and 1% on January 1, 2011. In the event that all obligations are paid in full in cash on or prior to the maturity date, the additional compounded interest shall be waived and forgiven and during the Forbearance Period only, with respect to any month, if the outstanding balance of Converted Interest is zero for at least 22 days of such month, then the additional compounded interest rate shall be reduced by 50% for such month.
 
On November 5, 2010, December 3, 2010, and January 7, 2011, if the Company’s net cumulative cash position exceeds the specified minimum cash balance, as outlined in the Subordinated Senior Amendment, by more than $500,000, the Company is required to pay that excess cash balance against the Converted Interest. On November 5, 2010, the Company paid $353,840, which represented the Converted Interest for the months of June through October 2010.

Seller Financing
In connection with the Company’s acquisition strategy, part of the purchase price is paid through seller financed instruments. As of September 30, 2010, total funds due to former owners were $2,484,028, all of which is due in the next twelve months. 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 Lender and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. The Company amended and restructured certain unpaid seller notes as indicated below.

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.

On September 29, 2009, the Company executed Amendment No. 1 to the TPA Restructured Note Agreement with the sellers of TPA under which the sellers of TPA agreed to replace the remaining monthly principal installments of $93,056 plus accrued interest under the TPA Restructured Note Agreement, dated February 24, 2009, with a single principal payment of $558,333 on March 1, 2010 plus interest accrued from August 31, 2009. The Senior Lender and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders have not authorized payment of the principal or accrued interest on this note as of November 15, 2010.

On February 28, 2009, the Company executed a restructured promissory note (the “Pentec Restructured Note Agreement”) with the seller of Pentec, Inc. (“Pentec”) and Pentec Capital Management, Inc. (“PCM”) under which the parties agreed to execute replacement notes superseding and terminating, the prior unpaid notes between the parties dated February 28, 2007. Under the Pentec Restructured Note Agreement, the Company agreed to issue a promissory note of $600,000 payable in six equal principal monthly installments of $100,000, plus accrued interest, beginning on July 1, 2009 and ending December 1, 2009 at an interest rate of 8% per annum. Any accrued interest on the remaining February 28, 2007 promissory notes was paid to the seller within fifteen business days after the effective date of the Pentec Restructured Note Agreement. At December 31, 2009, the Restructured Promissory Note was paid in full.

The remaining outstanding principal will be paid in six monthly principal installments of $96,667, plus accrued interest, beginning on February 15, 2011 and ending July 15, 2011.

On March 24, 2009, the Company executed two promissory notes each for $75,000 payable to two of the sellers of The Pension Group, Inc.

The notes plus interest accrued at 8% per annum were paid in full on June 26, 2009.

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. Pursuant to the Subordinated Senior Amendment, dated April 26, 2010 and discussed in the 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. At December 31, 2009, the Subordinated Senior Warrants had a value of $0, and the Fee Agreement had a value of $1,635,321.

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 the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00, which was subsequently reduced to $0.50, 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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Laurus Derivative Financial Instruments have a value of $11,508 and $88,898, respectively.

Note 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $28,449 and $337,030, respectively. During the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $2,815 and $122,351, respectively. There was no cash flow effect resulting from these arrangements.

For the periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, total compensation cost not yet recognized for non-vested awards of $2,815 and $112,361 have a weighted average period of 0.25 years and 0.48 years over which compensation expense is expected to be recognized.
 
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 September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are as follows:
   
September 30, 2010

Options and warrants
    15,073,794       28,470,019

    31,139,748       32,960,008  
      46,213,542       61,430,027  

For the periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, options and warrants include non-vested shares of 200,000 and 1,540,000.

The foregoing common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and all options and warrants with an exercise price greater than $0.03 per share were excluded from diluted net income per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as well as, all common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and three months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

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 September 30, 2010 are as follows:

The derivative liability measured at fair value of $11,508 consists of stock options and warrants. The fair value assessment of 2,159,331 options and warrants equaling $11,508 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.

Note 11. Acquisitions of Subsidiaries and Other Assets
 
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 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 totaling $171,631 was paid on August 16, 2010, and the final 65% of the purchase price is due on March 15, 2011, less any adjustments in accordance with the Standard Agreement. The Company has accrued $296,716 as an estimate for settling the remaining contingent payment.

The total purchase price for the acquisition of Standard was estimated to be about $537,000. 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:
 
     
 
Standard
 
Assets acquired:  
     
Customer lists/relationships  
  $     537,000  
     
    537,000  
     
       
Liabilities assumed  
    -  
     
       
Net purchase price  
  $ 537,000  

The identifiable intangible asset is amortized for book purposes over the estimated useful life of the asset. 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 the identifiable intangible.

Note 16. Contingencies

Coghill Capital Management LLC (“CCM”) filed a complaint on June 1, 2010 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging that the Company failed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering the potential resale of common shares issuable upon conversion of its preferred shares, under the terms of a subscription agreement between the Company and CCM (“Subscription Agreement”). CCM also made additional claims related to the Subscription Agreement, including breach of contract and conversion. CCM is seeking total damages of $1.8 million. The Company intends to defend the claims vigorously based on a number of defenses. Regardless of the outcome, the litigation could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results because of defense costs, diversion of management’s attention and resources, and other factors, however, a range of loss can not be determined at this time.

On August 16, 2010, Orthopaedic Specialty Group, P.C. (“OSG”), the Orthopaedic Specialty Group, P.C. 401(k) Pension Plan (the "OSG Plan") and the trustees of the OSG Plan filed a lawsuit in the Connecticut Superior Court against the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Pentec, Inc., and a corporate officer of Pentec, alleging negligence and breach of contract. The trustees had invested assets of the OSG Plan directly with Bernard Madoff and the OSG Plan claims to have lost all of those assets. Plaintiffs allege that the principal amount of the investments totaled approximately $10.1 million and Mr. Madoff had shown investment returns on those investments for a total loss of approximately $34 million. Among other items, Plaintiffs allege that Pentec should have notified OSG, the OSG Plan and its fiduciaries that they could structure the OSG Plan to permit participant directed investments, which they allege would have reduced the trustee’s fiduciary liability to the OSG plan participants. Plaintiffs also allege that Pentec should have advised the trustees to obtain fiduciary liability insurance coverage. The Company believes that Pentec had no duty (whether under law, contract, or industry practice) to advise OSG, the OSG Plan or the trustees that they could limit liability by creating a participant directed plan or that they should obtain fiduciary insurance coverage. Further, Pentec’s service agreement with OSG limited the services to be performed by Pentec as administrative in nature, and specifically excludes the provision of legal, accounting, or investment related services. The Company has engaged outside counsel to defend these claims and believes they are without merit.

Note 17. Other

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 before the end 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 Note 5.

Note 18. Subsequent Events
 
Execution of Amendment to Seller Notes
On October 13, 2010, the Company executed Amendment No. 2 to the CIAS Restructured Note Agreement dated March 16, 2009, with the sellers of CIAS. The terms of the amendment are discussed in the Seller Financing section of Note 5.
 
Execution of Non-binding Letter of Intent
On November 4, 2010, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with exclusivity for the sale of the Company to Stonehenge Partners, Inc. for $48 million, subject to a negotiated net working capital target.  Completion of the sale is subject to certain conditions, including negotiation and execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive acquisition agreement, completion of financing arrangements and due diligence by the buyer, and requisite Senior and Subordinated Senior Lenders and Company shareholder approvals.  There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as specified in the letter of intent, however, assuming all conditions are satisfied, the Company would expect to complete the transaction in early 2011.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $1,917,842 to $35,811,942 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in revenues was due primarily to a decrease in revenue of $2,144,110 at our third party administration subsidiaries offset by an increase in revenue of $226,268 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 was the result of a decrease in these retirement plan document restatement fees of approximately $3,118,000 as the restatement cycle for defined contribution retirement plans came to an end on April 30, 2010. The decrease was partially offset by EGTRRA restatement fees on defined benefit retirement plans that began in the third quarter of 2010. The revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, was generated from three sources; third party administration, $32,899,456; financial planning and investment advisory fees, $2,530,067; and insurance commissions, $382,419. The revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, was generated from three sources; third party administration, $35,043,566; financial planning and investment advisory fees, $2,351,078; and insurance commissions, $335,140.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $2,427,987 to $32,595,244 over the prior year's comparable nine month period. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased to 91.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 92.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $1,033,222 to $28,047,304 over the prior year's comparable nine month period. The decrease was 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 78.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 77.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $1,086,184 to $4,519,491 over the prior year's comparable nine month period primarily due to intangible assets from prior years’ acquisitions becoming fully amortized. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 12.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 14.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Stock-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $308,581 to $28,449 over the prior year's comparable nine 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 which were still vesting and thus being expensed through third quarter 2009, 200,000 stock options issued in 2008 to the President and Chief Operating Office as part of his April 2008 employment agreement, which became fully vested and expensed in first quarter 2009, as well as, 300,000 stock options issued in 2009 to the President and Chief Operating Officer as part of his April 2009 employment agreement and 150,000 stock options issued in 2009 to the Chief Financial Officer as part of his April 2009 employment agreement, both of which were fully expensed when issued in second quarter 2009. Additionally, 930,000 stock options, 465,000 of which were expensed immediately upon issuance, were issued in the third quarter of 2009 to various members of management and staff, of which 600,000 were granted to the Chief Executive Officer.  As a percentage of revenue, stock based compensation decreased to 0.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 0.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Net other expense was $4,487,350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $3,116,881 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest expense of $1,642,444, an increase in debt and other restructuring charges of $1,229,236 and a decrease in interest and rental income of $3,913, offset by an increase in the change of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments of $1,505,124. The change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments increased as a result of the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreeing to surrender the Subordinated Senior Warrants and relinquish their rights to the Fee Agreement. 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 plus an increase in the borrowing rate on the Revolving Line of Credit and additional borrowings on the Subordinated Senior Term Note resulting from the capitalization of interest plus a 3% increase in the borrowing rate on the Subordinated Senior Term Note from failing debt covenants at September 30, 2009. Debt and other restructuring charges increased as a result of fees incurred by the Company for failing debt covenants at September 30, 2009 and the resulting forbearance agreements.

Preferred stock dividends were $1,447,599 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1,483,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 and a conversion of 137,500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into 1,650,000 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2010.

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased $2,994,779 to $14,004,120 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in revenues was due primarily to an increase in revenue of $2,929,846 at our third party administration subsidiaries and an increase in revenue of $64,933 generated by the subsidiaries that provide financial planning, investment advisory and insurance products. The increase in revenues was primarily due to delays in the first six months of 2010 in completing 2009 plan year valuations and 5500 filings on recurring plans resulting from the new ERISA Filing Acceptance System (“EFAST”) requirements. This resulted in revenue normally earned and recognized in the first two quarters of the fiscal year being delayed until the third quarter. 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 increase in revenue from our third party administration subsidiaries was partially offset by a decrease in these retirement plan document restatement fees. The revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, was generated from three sources; third party administration, $13,006,937; financial planning and investment advisory fees, $851,635; and insurance commissions, $145,548. The revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, was generated from three sources; third party administration, $10,077,091; financial planning and investment advisory fees, $843,663; and insurance commissions, $88,587.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $240,522 to $10,740,357 over the prior year's comparable three month period. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased to 76.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 99.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased $309,945 to $9,320,751 over the prior year's comparable three month period. The increase was the result of one time employee incentives associated with the Company’s efforts to catch-up and complete 2009 plan year valuations and 5500 filings delayed in prior quarters due to the new EFAST requirements.

As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 66.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 81.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $430,931 to $1,416,791 over the prior year's comparable three month period primarily due to intangible assets from prior years’ acquisitions becoming fully amortized. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 10.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 16.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Stock-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $119,536 to $2,815 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 which were still vesting and thus being expensed through third quarter 2009, as well as, 930,000 stock options, 465,000 of which were expensed immediately upon issuance, were issued in the third quarter of 2009 to various members of management and staff, of which 600,000 were granted to the Chief Executive Officer.  As a percentage of revenue, stock based compensation decreased to 0.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 1.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Net other expense was $2,502,487 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1,673,721 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest expense of $804,573 and an increase in debt and other restructuring charges of $540,064, offset by an increase in the change of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments of $515,435 and an increase in interest and rental income of $436. The change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments increased as a result of the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreeing to surrender the Subordinated Senior Warrants and relinquish their rights to the Fee Agreement. 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 plus an increase in the borrowing rate on the Revolver Line of Credit and additional borrowings on the Subordinated Senior Term Note resulting from the capitalization of interest plus a 3% increase in the borrowing rate on the Subordinated Senior Term Note from failing debt covenants at September 30, 2009. Debt and other restructuring charges increased as a result of fees incurred by the Company for failing debt covenants at September 30, 2009 and the resulting forbearance agreements.

Preferred stock dividends were $467,096 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $494,400 for the three months ended September 30, 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 and a conversion of 137,500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into 1,650,000 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 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 $25.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively. Further, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company's net income (loss) before preferred stock dividends was approximately ($0.2) million and $1.1 million, respectively and its cash flows from operations were approximately $3.0 million and $4.5 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. 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 below in the Debt Amendments section of this Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”). At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $3.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of principal outstanding under this arrangement.

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 senior 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.

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 Debt Amendments section below of this 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. The senior and subordinated lenders have elected not to terminate their forbearance agreements as of the date of this report. 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.

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. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s senior and subordinated senior lenders will not terminate their forbearance agreements with the Company, which could result in such lenders electing to declare all amounts due and payable. There is no assurance that the Company would be able to negotiate additional waivers or obtain other financing needed to continue operations of the Company.

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”). In 2008, the Company borrowed the remaining $7,000,000 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 were to mature on July 31, 2010; but, were extended under the April 26, 2010 amendment discussed further in the Debt Amendments section below of this 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 was 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 September 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Line of Credit and Senior Term Note was approximately $3.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively and the interest rate was 9.25% and 4.76%, respectively. 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.
 
Page 32

 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately $14.3 million and $13.0 million, respectively, were outstanding under the Subordinated Senior Agreement.
 
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”). 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”.

In connection with the April 26, 2010 amendments, discussed further in the Debt Amendments section below of this 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.

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 have approval rights for all future acquisitions and the Company is 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. On December 14, 2009, the Senior Lender further extended the Revolving Line of Credit through February 28, 2010. At February 28, 2010, the Company was 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 described further in the Debt Amendments section below of this 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 notified 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 Debt Amendments section below of this MD&A.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company continued to be out of compliance with certain restrictive covenants in the Waiver and Amendment Agreements. Under the amendments noted above, the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to continue 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.

** Under the Senior Loan Amendment and Subordinated Senior Amendment entered into on April 26, 2010, the Senior and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to forbear from accelerating or otherwise enforcing their rights and remedies with respect to the above covenant defaults under the Senior Loan and Subordinated Senior Amendments until January 2011.

(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).

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 was due on May 15, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the Company paid all outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Short-Term Working Capital Loan.

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, extended the maturity of the indebtedness until January 2, 2011. During the Forbearance 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. As of September 30, 2010, the Company met the above cash covenants as indicated in the following table:

The Company agreed to pay the Senior Lender an amendment fee (“Amendment Fee”) of $250,000, of which $50,000 was to be 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. As of September 30, 2010, the Company paid $150,000 of the Amendment Fee and $6,000 in Monitoring Fees.

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 March 22, 2010, 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. On August 1, 2010, the Company amended the agreement with the financial advisor to replace the fixed monthly service fee with an hourly rate.

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 met the cash covenants as indicated in the table 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. As of September 30, 2010, $270,394 was outstanding under the Modification Fee agreement.

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.

On March 22, 2010, 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.

Because management believes that a sale is the most likely event to occur, the Company has estimated sale related payments to the Senior Lender and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders to be $1,598,000, which were added to deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the remaining life of the loan.

On August 12, 2010, the Company entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Securities Purchase and Loan Agreement with the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. In the amendment, the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders agreed to convert the 6% monthly cash interest payments (“Converted Interest”) to interest compounded monthly and added to the principal amount of the Subordinated Senior Note so that the Company has available cash to make payments under its retention and recapitalization incentive plan, payments to the Company’s lead director and additional recapitalization expenses, commencing with the cash interest payment due on July 1, 2010. The retention and recapitalization incentive payments, lead director payments and recapitalization expenses are not to exceed a combined $67,000 for any month. Any shortfall in retention and recapitalization incentive payments, lead director payments and recapitalization expenses are to be paid to the Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders and applied towards payment of the compounded interest. Additionally, the interest rate on the Subordinated Senior Note will increase by 2% on October 1, 2010 and 1% on January 1, 2011. In the event that all obligations are paid in full in cash on or prior to the maturity date, the additional compounded interest shall be waived and forgiven and during the Forbearance Period only, with respect to any month, if the outstanding balance of Converted Interest is zero for at least 22 days of such month, then the additional compounded interest rate shall be reduced by 50% for such month.
 
On November 5, 2010, December 3, 2010, and January 7, 2011, if the Company’s net cumulative cash position exceeds the specified minimum cash balance, as outlined in the Subordinated Senior Amendment, by more than $500,000, the Company is required to pay that excess cash balance against the Converted Interest. On November 5, 2010, the Company paid $353,840, which represented the Converted Interest for the months of June through October 2010.

Seller Financing
In connection with the Company’s acquisition strategy, part of the purchase price is paid through seller financed instruments. As of September 30, 2010, total funds due to former owners were $2,484,028, all of which is due in the next twelve months. 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 Lender and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders. The Company amended and restructured certain unpaid seller notes as indicated below. To the extent 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 current or former 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.

On September 29, 2009, the Company executed Amendment No. 1 to the TPA Restructured Note Agreement with the sellers of TPA under which the sellers of TPA agreed to replace the remaining monthly principal installments of $93,056 plus accrued interest under the TPA Restructured Note Agreement, dated February 24, 2009, with a single principal payment of $558,333 on March 1, 2010 plus interest accrued from August 31, 2009. The Senior Lender and Woodside Subordinated Senior Lenders have not authorized payment of the principal or accrued interest on this note as of November 15, 2010.

On February 28, 2009, the Company executed a restructured promissory note (the “Pentec Restructured Note Agreement”) with the seller of Pentec, Inc. (“Pentec”) and Pentec Capital Management, Inc.

Under the Pentec Restructured Note Agreement, the Company agreed to issue a promissory note of $600,000 payable in six equal principal monthly installments of $100,000, plus accrued interest, beginning on July 1, 2009 and ending December 1, 2009 at an interest rate of 8% per annum. Any accrued interest on the remaining February 28, 2007 promissory notes was paid to the seller within fifteen business days after the effective date of the Pentec Restructured Note Agreement. At December 31, 2009, the Restructured Promissory Note was paid in full.

On March 16, 2009, the Company executed a restructured promissory note (“CIAS Restructured Note Agreement”) with the sellers of California Investment and Annuity Sales, Inc. (“CIAS”) under which the parties executed replacement notes superseding and terminating, the prior note between the parties dated April 3, 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 24, 2009, the Company executed two promissory notes each for $75,000 payable to two of the sellers of The Pension Group, Inc. (“TPG”) in lieu of full payment of their portion of a cash payment of $467,500, prior to any adjustments, due at March 26, 2009 under the TPG purchase agreement (“TPG Agreement”) dated November 26, 2008.

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
 
·
Management's Estimates
 
·
Goodwill / Intangible Assets
 
·
Share-based Payments
 
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 September 30, 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 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 condensed consolidated interim 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.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 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.

The Company is from time to time subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not presently determinable, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Coghill Capital Management LLC (“CCM”) filed a complaint on June 1, 2010 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging that the Company failed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering the potential resale of common shares issuable upon conversion of its preferred shares, under the terms of a subscription agreement between the Company and CCM (“Subscription Agreement”). CCM also made additional claims related to the Subscription Agreement, including breach of contract and conversion. CCM is seeking total damages of $1.8 million. The Company intends to defend the claims vigorously based on a number of defenses. Regardless of the outcome, the litigation could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results because of defense costs, diversion of management’s attention and resources, and other factors.

On August 16, 2010, Orthopaedic Specialty Group, P.C. (“OSG”), the Orthopaedic Specialty Group, P.C. 401(k) Pension Plan (the "OSG Plan") and the trustees of the OSG Plan filed a lawsuit in the Connecticut Superior Court against the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Pentec, Inc., and a corporate officer of Pentec, alleging negligence and breach of contract. The trustees had invested assets of the OSG Plan directly with Bernard Madoff and the OSG Plan claims to have lost all of those assets. Plaintiffs allege that the principal amount of the investments totaled approximately $10.1 million and Mr. Madoff had shown investment returns on those investments for a total loss of approximately $34 million. Among other items, Plaintiffs allege that Pentec should have notified OSG, the OSG Plan and its fiduciaries that they could structure the OSG Plan to permit participant directed investments, which they allege would have reduced the trustee’s fiduciary liability to the OSG plan participants. Plaintiffs also allege that Pentec should have advised the trustees to obtain fiduciary liability insurance coverage. The Company believes that Pentec had no duty (whether under law, contract, or industry practice) to advise OSG, the OSG Plan or the trustees that they could limit liability by creating a participant directed plan or that they should obtain fiduciary insurance coverage. Further, Pentec’s service agreement with OSG limited the services to be performed by Pentec as administrative in nature, and specifically excludes the provision of legal, accounting, or investment related services. The Company has engaged outside counsel to defend these claims and believes they are without merit.

ITEM 5. Other Information
 
Execution of a Book of Business Sale
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 by the end 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.

Execution of Non-binding Leter of Intent
On November 4, 2010, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with exclusivity for the sale of the Company to Stonehenge Partners, Inc. for $48 million, subject to a negotiated net working capital target.  Completion of the sale is subject to certain conditions, including negotiation and execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive acquisition agreement, completion of financing arrangements and due diligence by the buyer, and requisite Senior and Subordinated Senior Lenders and Company shareholder approvals.  There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as specified in the letter of intent, however, assuming all conditions are satisfied, the Company would expect to complete the transaction in early 2011.
