PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

US Dataworks, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), develops, markets, and supports payment processing software for on-premise customers and on-demand cloud-computing service customers within multiple market segments. Its customer base includes some of the largest financial institutions as well as credit card companies, government institutions, banker’s banks and high-volume merchants in the United States. The Company was formerly known as Sonicport, Inc.

Background

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

Products

US Dataworks’ flagship product is Clearingworks.  Clearingworks is an on-demand payment processing service with proven, enterprise-class payment, deposit, returns processing and powerful payment analytic tools.  Clearingworks is designed to reduce the pain and cost of payment processing.  Clearingworks consists of four pillars of modern payment processing:  ClearPayments, ClearDeposits, ClearReturns and ClearInsights.  Clearingworks is delivered in two environments: a Cloud delivery model and an on-premise installed solution.

ClearPayments is an integrated, multi-channel payment platform designed to reduce operational costs by streamlining the payments from all channels into one fast and convenient platform. Payment channels include Web payments, telephone payments, mailed-in payments, and walk-in payments.  ClearDeposits quickly converts the incoming payment into working capital by consolidating deposits into the least cost deposit channel.  This includes routing to a specific banking relationship and converting check payments into fully electronic deposits. ClearReturns reduces the time businesses spend processing returned items by automated returns matching and automated processing of resubmissions and return fees.  This improves the ability to collect returned items, and improves the consistency of fee assessment.  ClearInsights provides reporting capabilities to assist in tracking payment status and in producing detailed analytic information.  ClearInsights simplifies control and reporting for compliance audits, improves quality control practices and offers visibility to monitor payment progress across multiple payment channels.

Customers

US Dataworks’ sells its products into several vertical markets within the market segments of Corporate Payments, Retail Payments, and Government. Customers include credit card issuers, major retailers and the United States Government.  Three of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, American Express and Regulus accounted for 66%, 9% and 9%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2011. Two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and American Express, accounted for 61%, and 11%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Strategic Business Relationships

We have recently partnered with OptimizedNow, LLC to augment our cloud computing sales force and formally launch our multi-channel marketing program for Clearingworks. In connection with this arrangement, OptimizedNow provides us with a highly-structured inside sales team and sales process through which we expect to provide a high-touch, proactive buying experience that cost-effectively drives qualified buyers to our solutions.  Other significant business partners include The Bankers Bank of Oklahoma, who delivers our Clearingworks platform as a service to their members, and certain other Bankers Banks.

Competition

Our competitors in the financial services market include Wausau Financial Systems, J&B Software, Fiserv and First Data. The services offered by these and other competitors include electronic billing and payment, electronic funds transfer, payment solutions, reconciliation, checks by phone and recurring billing, as well as value-added services such as strategy consulting, marketing and technology infrastructure.  Although our competitors offer a variety of products and services, they remain burdened by their legacy platforms and struggle with integrating systems acquired by acquisition.

The US Dataworks strategy is to differentiate itself from these competitors by actively seeking markets that need our streamlined and modern payment processing solution.  We look for underserved markets, like the Bankers’ Banks market and the utility market and then position our product with precision to appeal to their real business problems.

The competitive factors influencing our success in these markets include:

 
·
Proven cost savings results;

 
·
Delivering white glove product implementation, customer service and support;

 
·
Expanding to embrace emerging payment channels;

 
·
Keeping the solution simple through cloud delivery and precise messaging;

 
·
Building a relationship with our customers and prospects through blogs, eBooks, twitter, email newsletter and trade publications; and

 
4

 

 
·
Continued innovation and leadership in payments processing.

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

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

Trademarks

US Dataworks has obtained trademarks on the names of our premier products and services, including Clearingworks. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property.

Government Regulation

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

Employees

As of July 13, 2011, we have 32 employees, 29 of which are full-time and 3 of which is part-time. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement with our employees. We believe our employee relations to be good.

Research and Development

For fiscal 2011 and 2010, we spent approximately $ 969,154 and $ 886,556, respectively, on research and development activities.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information in this Report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating us and our business.

The Company has a recent history of defaulting on its bank covenants which, if repeated, could force the Company to seek bankruptcy protection.

The Company has in the recent past been in default on the financial and certain other covenants contained in its loan and security agreement with its current senior lender, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), and been forced to seek waivers and/or forbearance agreements from SVB to address such defaults.  Should this pattern repeat itself, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining such waivers and/or forbearance agreements in the future.  Failure to obtain waivers and/or forbearance agreements from SVB for future defaults would result in SVB having the right to accelerate all indebtedness owed it at the time of the default.  In that case, the Company would not likely have the funds to make these payments to SVB.  As the Company’s most senior secured lender, SVB would then have a right to foreclose on, and take possession and control over, all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s cash and accounts receivable.  If SVB exercises this right, the Company would be forced to seek protection under federal bankruptcy laws which will likely render the Company’s equity securities, including the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, valueless.

Our ability to continue as a going concern may be contingent upon our ability to raise capital.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We believe we currently have adequate capital resources to fund anticipated cash needs through March 31, 2012. However, our current liquidity position is constrained and looks to remain that way for the near-term.  While we have taken a number of steps to address and improve this situation (as explained elsewhere in this Report), there can be no assurance that these steps will result in a meaningful improvement to our current and near-term liquidity position or that additional steps will not be required.  One such additional step that may become necessary involves raising additional equity and/or debt capital.  Any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, will increase expenses and may involve restrictive covenants. We may be required to raise additional capital at times and in amounts that are uncertain. In addition, there may be limited access to capital due to being listed on OTC Bulletin Board. Under such circumstances, if we are unable to obtain additional capital or are required to raise it on undesirable terms, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, which could require us to:
 
 
5

 
 
 
curtail our operations significantly;
 
 
sell significant assets;

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

 
explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of US Dataworks; and/or

 
in a worst-case scenario, seek protection from our creditors under federal bankruptcy laws, which would likely render our equity securities, including our issued and outstanding common stock valueless.

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

We have a significant amount of debt coming due in fiscal 2014 that we may not be able to repay.

We have approximately $3.1 million of affiliate debt that we owe certain company insiders that is due and payable on January 1, 2014, all of which is secured by a lien on all of our properties and assets, including all of our accounts receivable.  In addition, under certain circumstances, we are required or permitted to defer interest payments on this debt.  However, the deferred interest will be payable when the condition allowing us to make such payments is met.  As of the date of this report, we had $146,942 in such accrued but unpaid interest on this debt and that amount is growing by approximately $29,000 each month thereafter.  While we expect to build enough cash to pay off these obligations as they come due, such may not be the case.  If we are not able to make the balloon principle payment or the deferred interest payment when due, we will need to refinance this debt or arrange to have the maturity dates extended. While we expect to be able to refinance this debt or reach an agreement to extend the maturity date of this debt if necessary, there can be no assurances that this will in fact occur.  In such case, failure to refinance or extend the maturity dates of this debt will give the secured holders of such debt the right to foreclose on our properties and assets, including our accounts receivables.  If these foreclosure rights are exercised, we will be forced to file for protection available under federal bankruptcy laws, which will likely render our equity securities, including our issued and outstanding common stock, valueless.

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

We have incurred losses for the last five fiscal years ended March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, our accumulated deficit was $65,718,567. We believe that our planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on our ability to promote our brand name and gain clients and expand our relationships with clients for whom we would provide licensing agreements and system integration. Accordingly, we intend to invest heavily in marketing, strategic partnership, development of our client base and development of our marketing technology and operating infrastructure. If we are not successful in promoting our brand name and expanding our client base, it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to continue to operate our business.

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

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

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

 
·
gain or loss of clients or strategic relationships;

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

 
·
our ability to build brand recognition;

 
·
timing of sales to customers;

 
·
price competition;

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

 
6

 

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

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

 
·
changes in governmental regulation;

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

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

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

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

We may not be able to develop or maintain our relationships with distribution partners, which may cause our cash flow to decline.

We may not be able to maintain or develop new relationships with distribution channel partners. These strategic relationships are a core component of our sales and distribution strategy and are a part of our growth strategy. The loss of a distribution channel partner could harm our operating results.  Specifically, we are heavily relying on and investing in OptimizedNow, LLC to cause the sales and marketing program for our cloud-based Clearingworks platform solution to be successful.  Failure of these sales and marketing efforts could have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Some of our competitors have:

 
·
longer operating histories;

 
·
larger installed customer bases;

 
7

 

 
·
greater name recognition and longer relationships with clients; and

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

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

 
·
the breadth and quality of services;

 
·
creative design and systems engineering expertise;

 
·
pricing;

 
·
technological innovation; and

 
·
understanding clients’ strategies and needs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We intend to continue to expand the range of our technologies and products, and we may acquire or make investments in additional complementary businesses, technologies or products, if appropriate opportunities arise. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates at reasonable prices or on reasonable terms, or consummate future acquisitions or investments, each of which could slow our growth strategy. We have no prior history or experience in investing in or acquiring and integrating complementary businesses and therefore may have difficulties completing such transactions or realizing the benefits of such transactions, or they may have a negative effect on our business. Such investments or acquisitions could require us to devote a substantial amount of time and resources and could place a significant strain on our management and personnel. To finance any acquisitions, we may choose to issue equity based instruments, which would dilute your interest in us. Any future acquisitions by us also could result in significant write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm our operating results.

We have warrants outstanding with anti-dilution provisions that may affect our ability to raise capital without adding additional dilution.

The Company currently has warrants outstanding pursuant to which the holders thereof could purchase a total of 4,651,162 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share (the “Investor Warrants”).  Except in certain limited circumstances, if the Company issues or sells shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) at a price (or a conversion or exchange price) below $0.43 per share, (i) the exercise price of the Investor Warrants would be reduced to that lower sale (or conversion or exchange) price and (ii) the number of shares underlying the Investor Warrants would be increased by the ratio of the current per share warrant exercise price ($0.43) to the lower adjusted exercise price.  While the Company has not issued or sold shares of Common Stock or other securities that triggered these anti-dilution provisions, there can be no assurance that it will not do so in the future.  If the Company does issue or sell shares of Common Stock or other securities that trigger these anti-dilution provisions, the dilutive effect of such an issuance will be exacerbated by the additional dilutive effect of the adjustments to the exercise price of, and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying, the Investor Warrants. The existence of the Investor Warrants could make investments in the Company less attractive.

Our recent sales efforts may not produce the desired results.

The Company has recently supplemented its sales infrastructure to focus on generating business from new customers.  The Company’s future success, particularly its ability to grow revenue, will depend largely upon the success of this effort.  While these new sales efforts have introduced a number of new customers into the Company’s sales pipeline, there can be no assurance that this sales pipeline will ultimately result in new customers.  Failure of this new sales effort to produce new and profitable revenue sources will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operating results.

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

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

The Company has discovered material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

As disclosed in “Part II, Item 9,A. Controls and Procedures,” the Company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.  The Company has taken actions to remediate the material weaknesses.  Any failure in the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting could result in misstatements of the Company’s financial statements, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial reporting or could cause the Company to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Management concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Holders

As of July 13, 2011, the 33,401,485 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock were held by 318 stockholders of record.  Because many of the shares of our common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of beneficial owners represented by these stockholders of record.

Dividend Policy

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

The Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan is our only equity compensation plan that has been approved by the stockholders. We have also granted non-statutory stock options to purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to stock option agreements. Some of these grants were made outside of our 2000 Stock Option Plan. The exercise prices of these options were equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. These options vest over periods up to three years from the date of grant and have a duration of ten years. The exercise price may be paid in cash or by a net issuance through a cashless exercise.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

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

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company licenses its software on a transactional or a subscription fee basis. In these arrangements, the customer is charged a fee based upon the number of items processed by the software and the Company recognizes revenue as these transactions occur. The transaction fee also includes the provision of standard maintenance and support services as well as product upgrades should such upgrades become available.  If professional services that are essential to the functionality of the software are provided in connection with the installation of the software licensed, revenue is recognized when these services have been provided on a percentage of completion basis.

In certain instances, we license our software products under non-exclusive, non-transferable license agreements that involve services essential to the functionality of the software. License revenue is recognized when services have been provided on the percentage of completion basis.

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

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

Goodwill

FASB ASC Topic No. 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Intangibles” requires that goodwill for each reporting unit of an entity be tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company’s goodwill is attributable to a single reporting unit.  Fair value is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for each reportable unit. On an ongoing basis, absent any impairment indicators, the Company performs impairment tests annually during its fiscal fourth quarter. The Company did not record an impairment of goodwill for either the quarter ended March 31, 2011 or the year ended March 31, 2010.

Goodwill is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

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

Three of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, American Express and Regulus accounted for 66%, 9% and 9%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2011. Two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and American Express, accounted for 61%, and 11%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010.

At March 31, 2011, amounts due from three of our customers, American Express, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Regulus, accounted for 39%, 38% and 10%, respectively, of accounts receivable then outstanding.

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

Results of Operations

The results of operations reflected in this discussion include the operations of US Dataworks for the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010.

Revenue

We generate revenues from (i) licensing and supporting software with fees due on a transactional or subscription basis, (ii) licensing software with fees due on the grant of the license and delivery of the software recognizing revenue as percentage of completion over term of professional services associated with license, (iii) providing maintenance, enhancement and support for previously licensed products, (iv) providing professional services and (v) other third party software resold in connection with our software.

Total revenues
  $ 7,276     $ 7,932       -8 %

Revenues for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased 8% as compared to the year ended March 31, 2010.  As compared to the prior year period, (i) professional services revenue for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased by 26% due to the timing of the completion of certain professional services contracts and the start of new contracts, (ii) software maintenance revenues for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased 24% due to the non-renewal of certain maintenance agreements, (iii) software transactional and subscription revenue for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased 14% due to the addition of new customers, increased transactions of a larger customer and the addition of our first Cloud Computing customer, and (iv) license revenue for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased by $537K due to the recognition of license revenue as a percentage of completion of the associated professional fees.  We expect our transactional revenue to grow as more of our current customers, along with new customers generated by the launch of our Cloud Computing initiative, begin to run more of their business through our software products.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues includes personnel costs associated with our software, maintenance, support, training and installation services of our on-premise and Cloud Computing offerings.  Cost of revenues also includes the cost of other third party software resold in connection with our software. Cost of revenues for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased $319,657, or 11.3%, to $2,503,022 as compared to $2,822,679 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  This decrease was due to a reduction in payroll expense and outside labor of $196,779 caused by a decrease in professional services performed, a decrease of $101,431 in costs associated with third party software purchased for resale for the year ended March 31, 2011 and decreases in other expenses totaling $21,446.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased $76,405, or 1.6%, to $4,862,456 as compared to $4,786,051 for the year ended March 31, 2010.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased $43,630, or 1.5%, to $2,846,581 as compared to $2,803,220 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  As compared to the prior year period, (i) payroll expense for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased $132,539 due to a severance payment, (ii) IT expense for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased $58,358 due to expenses associated with moving certain servers in-house, (iii) legal expenses for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased $40,422 associated with the Company’s delisting issues, (iv) stock-based compensation expense for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased $140,800 primarily due to reduced issuances, (v) travel and entertainment expense for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased $22,186 and (v) all other expenses for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased $24,703.

Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended March 31 2011 decreased $25,275, or 2.67%, to $921,926 as compared to $947,201 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  The decrease was due to reduction in payroll expense of $157,530 that occurred when an open management position was not filled during the year, a reduction in advertising expense of $67,957 and a reduction in travel and entertainment expense of $3,192, partially offset by an increase in outside services expense of $203,404 from marketing expenditures in connection with Cloud Computing sales initiative.

Research and development expenses for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased $82,598, or 9.32%, to $969,154 as compared to $886,556 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  The increase is due to an increase in payroll expense and outside labor of $80,147 associated with Cloud Computing initiative and work on new software releases.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased $24,278, or 16.29%, to $124,795 as compared to $149,074 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  This decrease is attributable to a number of our property and equipment items attaining a fully depreciated state during the past fiscal year.

Our headcount at March 31, 2011 was 34 as compared to 36 at March 31, 2010.

Other Income (Expense)

Total other expense, including interest expense and financing costs, for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased $424,366, or 45.04%, to $517,823 as compared to $942,189 for the year ended March 31, 2010. The decrease is principally due to a reduction of interest expense as a resulting from the loan restructure with Silicon Valley Bank and financing costs that were fully amortized in the prior year ended March 31, 2010.

Net Loss

Net loss for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased $11,437, or 1.8%, to $607,783 as compared to $619,221 for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Due to our prior history of experiencing negative cash flow from operations and the debt financing that we put in place to cover this historical negative cash flow, as of March 31, 2011, we have approximately $3.1 million of affiliate debt coming due January 1, 2014 and another $0.8 million of bank debt payable in various installments through February 2013.  In addition, under certain circumstances, we are required to defer interest payments on the affiliate debt.  However, this deferred interest will be payable when the conditions allowing us to make such payments is met.  As of the date of this report, we had $146,942 in such accrued but unpaid interest on this debt and that amount is growing by approximately $29,000 each month thereafter.  While we expect to be able fund our operations and build enough cash to pay off these obligations as they come due, if that is not the case, our viability as a going concern will be in jeopardy and will depend on our ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to refinance this debt and to fund the continuation of our business operations and to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows to sustain our operations. In addition, we will need to increase revenues from transaction and subscription based software license contracts and professional services agreements and software licenses to become profitable.

In addition, we have taken a number of steps to address and improve this situation.  These steps include implementing staff reductions and not filling open management positions, terminating third party consulting services, obtaining rent abatements in connection with the negotiation of a renewal of our office lease and deferring interest payments on the affiliate debt. However, the effects of these steps will be offset by an increase in near-term principal payments on our term loan with SVB required as part of the most recent amendment to the Loan Agreement (see Note 9 - Subsequent Events) and significant near-term payments that we will owe to OptimizedNow, LLC in consideration for providing sales and marketing services to the Company.  Management believes these measures that have been put in place will effectively fund our operations through March 31, 2012 and for a reasonable period of time thereafter.  If our liquidity does not improve in a meaningful way, we will be forced to take additional steps to address the issue, the primary one being raising additional equity and/or debt capital.  However, there can be no assurance that we would be successful in attempting to raise such capital.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2011 decreased by $400,446 to $44,096 as compared to $444,542 at March 31, 2010.  Cash used by operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2011 was $43,909 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $290,252 for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Cash used for investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2011 was $195,499 as compared to $13,086 for the year ended March 31, 2010. The increase in cash used for investing activities is due to infrastructure and a website associated with the Cloud Computing initiative.

Cash used for financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2011 was $161,038 as compared to $236,487 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  As compared to the prior year period (i) proceeds from the bank financings for the year ended March 31, 2011 decreased $506,301 due to proceeds of $1,000,000 received from bank loan for the year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $493,700 of net borrowings on the A/R Line of Credit for the year ended March 31, 2011, (ii) payments on notes payable for the year ended March 31, 2011 increased $625,000, (iii) payments on extension of note payable- related party for the year ended March 31, 2011decreased $1,111,255 due to payments made in the prior year, (iv) deferred financing costs for the year ended March 31, 2011decreased $62,178 due to payments made in prior years, (v) notes payable equipment for the year ended March 31 ,2011decreased $33,316 due to payoff of phone equipment note in current year, partially offset by additional equipment financed.

We believe we currently have adequate capital resources to fund our anticipated cash needs through March 31, 2012. However, as stated above, our debt repayment obligations and our current liquidity position may require us to raise additional capital to remain a going concern.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“the Codification”). The Codification, which was launched on July 1, 2009, became the single source of authoritative non-governmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), superseding various existing authoritative accounting pronouncements. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification had no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements: In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value   (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value of such liability using one or more of the techniques prescribed by the update. ASU 2009-05 was effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. There was no change to our financial statements due to the implementation of this guidance.

Revenue Recognition: In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements   (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires the relative selling price method when allocating deliverables of a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. The determination of the selling price for each deliverable requires the use of a hierarchy designed to maximize the use of available objective evidence, including VSOE, third party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), or estimated selling price (“ESP”).

In October 2009, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985)—Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements   (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 excludes tangible products containing software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of ASC 605-985,   Software-Revenue Recognition .

ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after July 15, 2010, and must be adopted in the same period using the same transition method. If adoption is elected in a period other than the beginning of a fiscal year, the amendments in these standards must be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year. Full retrospective application of these amendments to prior fiscal years is optional. Early adoption of these standards may be elected. We are currently evaluating the impact of these new accounting standards on our financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements   (“ASU 2010-06”). Reporting entities will have to provide information about movements of assets among Levels 1 and 2; and a reconciliation of purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of activity valued with a Level 3 method, of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). The ASU 2010-06 also clarifies the existing guidance to require fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 for Level 1 and 2 disclosure requirements and after December 15, 2010 for Level 3 disclosure requirements. Management does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect to the financial statements.

Organization and Business

US Dataworks, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), develops, markets, and supports payment processing software for on-premise customers and on-demand cloud-computing service customers within multiple market segments. Its customer base includes some of the largest financial institutions as well as credit card companies, government institutions, banker’s banks and high-volume merchants in the United States. The Company was formerly known as Sonicport, Inc.

Due to our prior history of experiencing negative cash flow from operations and the debt financing that we put in place to cover this historical negative cash flow, as of March 31, 2011, we have approximately $3.1 million of affiliate debt coming due January 1, 2014 and another $0.8 million of bank debt payable in various installments through February 2013.  In addition, under certain circumstances, we are required to defer interest payments on the affiliate debt.  However, this deferred interest will be payable when the conditions allowing us to make such payments is met.  As of the date of this report, we had $146,942 in such accrued but unpaid interest on this debt and that amount is growing by approximately $29,000 each month thereafter.  While we expect to be able to fund our operations and build enough cash to pay off these obligations as they come due, if that is not the case, our viability as a going concern will be in jeopardy and will depend on our ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to refinance this debt and to fund the continuation of our business operations and to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows to sustain our operations. In addition, we will need to increase revenues from transaction and subscription based software license contracts and professional services agreements and software licenses to become profitable.

In addition, we have taken a number of steps to address and improve this situation.  These steps include implementing staff reductions and not filling open management positions, terminating third party consulting services, obtaining rent abatements in connection with the negotiation of a renewal of our office lease and deferring interest payments on the affiliate debt.  However, the effects of these steps will be offset by an increase in near-term principal payments on our term loan with SVB required as part of the most recent amendment to the Loan Agreement (see Note 9 - Subsequent Events) and significant near-term payments that we will owe to OptimizedNow, LLC in consideration for providing sales and marketing services to the Company.  Management believes these measures that have been put in place will effectively fund our operations through March 31, 2012 and for a reasonable period of time thereafter.  If our liquidity does not improve in a meaningful way, we will be forced to take additional steps to address the issue, the primary one being raising additional equity and/or debt capital.  However, there can be no assurance that we would be successful in attempting to raise such capital.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2011decreased by $400,446 to $44,096 as compared to $444,542 at March 31, 2010.  Cash used by operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2011 was $43,909 as compared to cash provided from operating activities of $290,252 for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues associated with its software products in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 985 – 605, “Software Revenue Recognition”.

The Company licenses its software on a transactional or a subscription fee basis. In these arrangements, the customer is charged a fee based upon the number of items processed by the software and the Company recognizes revenue as these transactions occur. The transaction fee also includes the provision of standard maintenance and support services as well as product upgrades should such upgrades become available.  If professional services that are essential to the functionality of the software are provided in connection with the installation of the software licensed, revenue is recognized when these services have been provided on a percentage of completion basis.

US DATAWORKS INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 


In certain instances, we license our software products under non-exclusive, non-transferable license agreements that involve services essential to the functionality of the software. License revenue is recognized when services have been provided on the percentage of completion basis.
 
For license agreements that include a separately identifiable fee for contracted maintenance services, such maintenance revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance agreement noted in the agreement, but following any installation period of the software.
 
In certain instances, the Company enters into arrangements that include multiple elements, where fees are allocated to the various elements based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

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

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s receivables are recorded when revenue is earned and claims against third parties will be settled in cash.  The carrying value of the Company’s receivables represents their estimated net realizable value.   The Company extends credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of business.  The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts.  In evaluating the level of established reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events, and other factors.  As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required.  Provisions for bad debts and recoveries of accounts previously charged off are adjusted to the allowance account.

Property and Equipment

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

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

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

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill

FASB ASC Topic No. 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Intangibles”, requires goodwill for each reporting unit of an entity be tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company’s goodwill is attributable to a single reporting unit. Fair value is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for each reportable unit. On an ongoing basis, absent any impairment indicators, the Company performs impairment tests annually during its fiscal fourth quarter. The Company did not have an impairment of goodwill to record for the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

 
Level 1.
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 
Level 2.
Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 
Level 3.
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Stock Options

The Company follows the guidance cited in ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, to account for its stock options. ASC Topic No. 18 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company adopted ASC Topic No. 718 using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of April 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2007. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC Topic No. 718, which consists of stock-based compensation expense related to employee and director stock options and restricted stock issuances, for the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 was $113,195, and $253,992 respectively, which consists of stock-based compensation expense related to employee and director stock options and restricted stock issuances.

 ASC Topic No. 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statement of operations. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Compensation expense recognized for all employee stock options awards granted is recognized over their respective vesting periods unless the vesting period is graded. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statement of Operations for the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures as per the tables below.

Upon adoption of ASC Topic No. 718, the Company continued to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions for estimating the fair value of employee stock options granted at the date of the grant.  In determining the compensation cost of the options granted during the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, as specified by ASC Topic No. 718, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The weighted average assumptions used in these calculations are summarized as follows:

   
For the Year Ending
 
   
March 31,
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Risk-free Interest Rate
    2.35 %     0.90 %
Expected Life of Options Granted
 
10 years

Expected Volatility
    117 %     208 %
Expected Dividend Yield
    0       0  
Expected Forfeiture Rate
    30 %     30 %

As of March 31, 2011, there was approximately $12,536 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 3 years.

Warrants

Warrants are valued using the lattice model using assumptions of market price at the time of grant, annual volatility and likelihood of exercise. There were no warrants granted during the year ended March 31, 2011, In determining the cost of the warrants granted during the year ended March 31, 2010, the value of each such warrant has been estimated on the date of grant and the assumptions used in these calculations are summarized as follows:  Market price of stock of $0.23, volatility of 134%, that the holders would exercise the warrants at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price and the holders would exercise the warrants as they become exercisable at the target price of $.90 and lowering such target as the warrants approached maturity.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded advertising expense of $63,093 and $131,050, respectively.

Income Taxes

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

ASC Topic No. 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company does not have any uncertain tax position meeting the threshold prescribed by ASC Topic No. 740.

Income and Loss per Share

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

For the year ended March 31, 2011, 18,341,071 potential common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the year ended March 31, 2010, 18,809,158 potential common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.  Options and warrants typically convert on a one-for-one basis, see conversion details of the preferred stock stated below for the common stock shares issuable upon conversion. The weighted-average common stock equivalents that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

   
Year Ended March 31,

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

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

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

Three of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, American Express and Regulus accounted for 66%, 9% and 9%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2011. Two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and American Express, accounted for 61%, and 11%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010.

 At March 31, 2011, amounts due from three of our customers, American Express, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Regulus, accounted for 39%, 38% and 10%, respectively, of accounts receivable then outstanding. At March 31, 2010, amounts due from two of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Regulus, accounted for 71% and 14%, respectively, of accounts receivable then outstanding.

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

Reclassifications

Certain reclassification were made to the 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation, specifically, certain license revenues have been reclassified to software resale revenues on the Statement of Operations as this classification was deemed more appropriate. Such reclassifications had no effect on the balance sheet, prior year net income or statement of cash flows.

A/R Line of Credit and Term Loan

Effective as of October 27, 2010, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with SVB and related agreements and documents providing for a senior credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of an asset-based accounts receivable line of credit (the “A/R Line of Credit”) and a term loan.  The Loan Agreement amended and restated the previous loan agreement with SVB (also referred to herein as the “Prior Loan Agreement”) in its entirety.  On February 8, 2011, the Company entered into certain amendments to the Loan Agreement and the Credit Facility.  Additionally, since March 31, 2011, the Company entered into additional amendments to the Loan Agreement and Credit Facility (the “Recent Amendments”) (see Note 9- Subsequent Events).

In connection with the closing of the Loan Agreement, the Company repaid $402,750 of the outstanding principal amount of the term loan provided by SVB under the Prior Loan Agreement (the “Prior Term Loan”), leaving a principal balance of $402,750 on such term loan that is provided under and governed by the Loan Agreement (the “Refinanced Term Loan”).  The maturity date of the Refinanced Term Loan is February 1, 2013.  The Refinanced Term Loan accrues interest at the fixed annual rate of 7.00% and is payable monthly.  Principal payments on the Refinanced Term Loan are being made in twenty eight (28) equal monthly installments which began on November 1, 2010.  On the closing of the Loan Agreement, the Company used its cash on hand and borrowings under the A/R Line of Credit to fund the partial repayment of the Prior Term Loan.  Pursuant to the Recent Amendments, the Company has agreed to make certain additional principal payments on the Term Loan (see Note 9- Subsequent Events).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 


The maximum availability under the A/R Line of Credit is $1,000,000 and, as of March 31, 2011, the maturity date of the A/R Line of Credit was May 9, 2011.  Pursuant to the Recent Amendments, the maturity date has been extended to June 28, 2012 (See Note 9- Subsequent Events).  As of March 31, 2011, the following finance charges and collateral handling fees applied to the A/R Line of Credit:

 
·
A finance charge equal to 1.25% above SVB’s prime rate will be applied to the full face amount of the financed receivables.

 
·
An additional collateral handling fee equal to 0.25% per month will be applied to the full face amount of the financed receivables.  This collateral handling fee will reduce to 0.10% per month if the Company’s “adjusted quick ratio” is greater than 1.30 at all times during an applicable testing month, with such reduction being effective for the calendar month which is two months after such testing month and where the “adjusted quick ratio” equals (A) cash on hand plus the amount of all eligible accounts divided by (B) current liabilities minus deferred revenue minus the portion of subordinated debt that constitutes current liabilities.

For periods where the Company’s adjusted quick ratio is less than 1.30, it will be subject to the higher collateral handling fee, yielding an indicative annual interest rate on the A/R Line of Credit of approximately 10.31% based on the current SVB prime rate.  For periods where the collateral handling fee is reduced as discussed above, the Company’s indicative annual interest rate on the A/R Line of Credit would be approximately 8.06% based on the current SVB prime rate.  The finance charges and collateral handling fees for a particular financed receivable are due when the advance made on such financed receivable becomes due (as discussed below).  Pursuant to the Recent Amendments, the finance charges and collateral handling fees have been increased (See Note 9- Subsequent Events).

An advance for a particular financed receivable under the A/R Line of Credit is required to be repaid on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which payment is received on such financed receivable, (ii) the date on which such financed receivable is no longer an eligible account, (iii) the date on which any adjustment is asserted to such financed receivable (but only to the extent of the adjustment if such financed receivable remains otherwise an eligible account), (iv) the date on which there is a breach of certain warranties or representations set forth in the New Loan Agreement related to such financed receivable, or (v) the maturity date of the A/R Line of Credit.

Subject to the commitment limits described above, the Company can borrow up to eighty percent (80%) of its eligible accounts receivable subject to a number of exceptions that include, but are not limited to, receivables that remain unpaid more than 90 days from the invoice date and receivables for work performed that have not yet been invoiced.  Under certain circumstances, SVB can, in its discretion, decrease the 80% cap, adjust the eligibility criteria to be more stringent and/or elect not to make an advance on a particular receivable.  The Company uses the proceeds from the A/R Line of Credit for general corporate purposes.  Pursuant to the Recent Amendments, the 80% borrowing availability was raised to 85% (See Note 9- Subsequent Events).

As of March 31, 2011, the Credit Facility, required that the Company comply with one financial covenant.  That covenant required that the Company meet minimum EBITDA requirements (where “EBITDA” is defined as earnings before expenses relating to interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP, plus equity-based compensation expense).

The Company failed to comply with this covenant for the three month period ending December 31, 2010. This default was subsequently waived by SVB (See Note 9 – Subsequent Events)

Pursuant to the Recent Amendments, new financial covenants for subsequent periods were established (See Note 9- Subsequent Events).

The indebtedness owed under the Credit Facility is fully secured by a perfected first priority security interest in favor of SVB in all of the Company’s assets, including its cash, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, intellectual property rights and contract rights.

Borrowing under the A/R Line of Credit is conditioned on (i) all representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement being true as of the date of the borrowing request and (ii) no “event of default” having occurred and be continuing or resulting from the requested advance.  The Loan Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to due organization and existence, collateral, accounts receivable, litigation, the Company’s financial statements, solvency, regulatory compliance, investments, taxes and use of proceeds.  The Loan Agreement also contains a number of affirmative covenants, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to due organization and existence, government approvals, delivery of financial statements and other certificates, reports and other information, insurance, bank accounts, intellectual property rights, litigation and audit rights.  The Loan Agreement also contains a number of negative covenants, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to disposition of assets, changes in business and senior management, mergers and acquisitions, cash dividends, investments, transactions with affiliates, subordinated debt and regulatory compliance.

Notes Payable – Related Parties

Through a series of negotiated agreements, the Company has executed and delivered, and is currently indebted under, (i) a promissory note (the “Nicholson Refinance Note”) payable to John L. Nicholson, an outside director of the Company and (ii) a promissory note (the “Ramey Refinance Note”) payable to Charles E. Ramey, the Chairman and CEO of the Company.  The original proceeds from the Nicholson Refinance Note and the Ramey Refinance Note (collectively, the “Refinance Notes”) were used to refinance certain debt of the Company and for other corporate purposes.

The terms of the Nicholson Refinance Note and the Ramey Refinance Note are as follows:

Nicholson
   
Ramey
   
Total
 
$ 2,295,000     $
797,245
    $
3,092,245
 

The maturity date on the Refinance Notes is January 1, 2014. Interest on the Refinance Notes is payable monthly and no principal payments are required until maturity.  The annual interest rate for the Nicholson Refinance Note is 12% but reduces to 10% if the principal balance drops below $1,905,000.  The annual interest rate for the Ramey Refinance Note is 10%.  As of the date of this report, we had $146,942 in such accrued but unpaid interest on this debt and that amount is growing by approximately $29,000 each month thereafter.

The Refinance Notes are expressly subject to the terms and provisions of the Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement among SVB, Messrs. Nicholson and Ramey, and the Company that was entered into as of October 27, 2010 in connection with closing the New Credit Facility (the “Subordination Agreement”).  As of March 31, 2011, the Subordination Agreement provided, among other things, that no payments on the Refinance Notes other than regular scheduled non-default interest payments are permitted without the consent of SVB unless and until the New Credit Facility is paid in full and terminated.  Pursuant to the Recent Amendments, all payments on the Refinance Notes (including regular scheduled interest payments) are prohibited unless consented in writing to by SVB until the Term Loan is paid in full (See Note 9- Subsequent Events)

The Refinance Notes were originally issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Messrs. Nicholson and Ramey dated August 13, 2008 that remains in effect.  The Refinance Notes are secured by a Security Agreement, dated August 13, 2008, by and between the Company and Messrs. Nicholson and Ramey, pursuant to which the Company granted Messrs. Nicholson and Ramey a security interest in all its personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including but not limited to, all accounts receivable, copyrights, trademarks, licenses, equipment and all proceeds as from such collateral.  Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, this security interest will remain junior to SVB’s security interest under the New Credit Facility as long as such facility remains in place.
  
 Notes Payable – Equipment

In August 2007, the Company entered into a note payable with an equipment vendor to purchase new telephone equipment for $105,835. The note bears a 10.68% per annum interest rate, is secured by the equipment and was due in 36 equal monthly installments of $3,418. As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on this note payable was $17,639 and was paid in full in fiscal year 2011.

The valuation allowance decreased by $56,107 during the year ended March 31, 2011 and decreased by $54,993 during the year ended March 31, 2010.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $30,471,108 of federal net operating loss carryforwards attributable to losses incurred since the Company’s inception that may be offset against future taxable income through 2028. Because United States tax laws and the tax laws of most states limit the time during which NOL carryforwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOL for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income. Based on such limitations, the Company has significant NOL carryforwards for which realization of tax benefits is uncertain. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOL carryforwards could be subject to limitations if material ownership changes occur in the Company. For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized revisions to deferred tax assets with offsetting revisions to the valuation allowance that resulted in an insignificant net change in the aggregate of total deferred tax assets less the valuation allowance.

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

Restatement of Financial Statements for Revenue Recognition

On January 21, 2011, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s previously filed financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and for the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010 could no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements related to the Company’s accounting for a software license sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (the “License”).

The Company recognized all of the license fee revenue associated with the License in March 2010 when the license agreement was executed and the software was provided to the customer.  In November 2010, the Company entered into a separate service agreement with the customer.  However, the original accounting did not consider the impact of essential services from that agreement which are common for such software to meet the customer’s intended use.  Therefore, the Company has determined that the software license fee revenue should have been recognized over the period the professional services are rendered.  To correct this error, the Company has restated the affected financial statements.

Subsequent Events

Recent Amendments to Loan Agreement

On May 9, 2011, the Company and SVB entered into that certain Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) pursuant to which SVB agreed to (i) waive an event of default under the Loan Agreement due to the Company’s failure to comply with the covenant contained in Section 6.7(a) of the Loan Agreement for the three-month period ending December 31, 2010 (the “Covenant Default”), (ii) extend the maturity date of the asset-based accounts receivable line of credit to June 7, 2011, (iii) amend Section 6.7(a) of the Loan Agreement to set the minimum EBITDA requirement for the three months ending April 30, 2011 to $185,000 and (iv) waive the events of default  that occurred due to the Company making certain scheduled interest payments to its subordinated lenders prior to the Covenant Default having been waived pursuant to the Second Amendment.  In consideration for the Second Amendment, the Company paid an amendment fee of $1,000 to SVB.

On June 7, 2011, the Company and SVB entered into that certain Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) pursuant to which SVB agreed to (i) extend the maturity date of the asset-based accounts receivable line of credit to June 30, 2011 and (ii) amend Section 6.7(a) of the Loan Agreement to set the minimum EBITDA requirement for the three months ending May 31, 2011 to $100,000. 

On July 7, 2011 but effective as of June 30, 2011, the Company and SVB entered into that certain Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) pursuant to which SVB and the Company agreed to the following amendments to the Loan Agreement:

 
(i)
the maturity date of the A/R Line of Credit is extended to June 28, 2012;
 
(ii)
the Company is required to make the following additional principal payments on the term loan to be applied in the inverse order of their maturity: $36,667 on July 7, 2011 and $30,000 on August 1, 2011;
 
(iii)
beginning in August 2011, the Company will make additional principal payments on the term loan to be applied in the inverse order of their maturity in an amount equal to 3% of its daily collections;
 
(iv)
the borrowing availability under the A/R Line of Credit is increased to 85% of eligible receivables; and
 
(v)
the finance charges applicable to the A/R Line of Credit are increased to 2.20% above SVB’s prime rate applied to full face amount of the receivable plus a collateral handling fee of 0.25% per month applied to the full face amount of the receivable except that if the Company’s adjusted quick ratio is greater than 1.00, the finance charge will be reduced to 1.25% above SVB’s prime rate applied to full face amount of the receivable plus a collateral handling fee of 0.10% per month applied to the full face amount of the receivable.

The Loan Agreement was revised to (i) set the minimum EBITDA requirement for the three months ending June 30, 2011 to ($103,000), (ii) set the minimum EBITDA requirement for the three months ending July 31, 2011 to ($60,000) and (iii) thereafter, replace the EBITDA covenant with a minimum liquidity ratio covenant that requires the Company  to maintain a liquidity ratio of at least 1.20 at all times  but measured at the end of each month where the liquidity ratio is defined as (A) cash on hand plus net accounts receivable less financed receivables divided by (B) the total SVB term debt outstanding.  The Loan Agreement was amended to add an additional financial covenant beginning in September 2011 that requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.30 at all times but tested at the end of each month based on a trailing three-month total where the fixed charge coverage ratio, for a particular three-month period, is defined as (A) EBITDA minus capital expenditures (including capitalized software) for such three-month period divided by (B) the total of interest, principal and taxes paid during such three-month period.  The Loan Agreement was amended to provide that all financial covenants will automatically be eliminated when the term loan is paid in full.

 The Loan Agreement was amended to provide that no payments of any subordinated debt can be made without the prior written consent of SVB until the term loan is paid in full and all early termination fees were eliminated.  The following additional reporting requirements were imposed on the Company: (A) delivery of audited annual financial statements with an unqualified opinion from the Company’s auditors no later than 120 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year and (B) delivery of the Company’s board-approved annual fiscal year financial projections no later than April 30 of the particular fiscal year.  In consideration for the Fourth Amendment, the Company paid a facility fee of $5,000 to SVB.

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

None.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.    Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over our financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment using those criteria, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Significant Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.   A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management concluded that there was a material weakness regarding the calculation of stock option values based on terms other than those listed.  This material weakness resulted in errors in the Company’s accounting and disclosures for shareholders’ equity and share-based compensation expense and resulted in the restatement of the financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. We have developed and implemented new procedures to remediate the material weakness that existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010.  Specifically, we created a new procedure to quarterly review accounting estimates for all equity transactions.  These procedures are documented internal controls and are reviewed annually.

Our management also identified a material weakness in our internal control over revenue recognition of license fee revenue, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Specifically our management concluded that at March 31, 2010, there was an error regarding the recognition of license revenue at time of delivery as opposed to percentage of completion over the term of professional services. Our management concluded that there was a material weakness in the application of the accounting treatment regarding the determination of revenue recognition for software provided to customers where professional services are essential to the functionality of the software. This material weakness resulted in an error in the Company’s accounting and disclosures for revenue, net loss, and shareholders’ equity and resulted in the restatement of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. During fiscal 2011 we have developed and implemented new procedures to remediate this material weakness. Specifically, all future licenses sold are reviewed to ensure appropriate consideration of undelivered services on the accounting treatment. These procedures are documented internal controls and are reviewed annually.

Management concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
