ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS


This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”). This prospectus relates to 384,588 shares of our common stock that the Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus may sell from time to time. We will not receive any proceeds from these sales. We have agreed to pay the expenses incurred in registering these shares, including legal and accounting fees.


References in this prospectus to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to the registrant, SofTech, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries.


Brokers or dealers effecting transactions in these shares should confirm that the shares are registered under applicable state securities laws or that an exemption from registration is available.


You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus or in any free writing prospectus we have prepared. Neither we nor the Selling Shareholders have authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or the time of any sale of our common stock under this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since such date. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this document.






 



PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


The following is only a summary of some of the information contained in this prospectus. Accordingly, it is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. Investing in our common stock involves risks. We urge you to read this entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section.

Our solutions accelerate product development, introduction and profitability by fostering innovation, extended enterprise collaboration, product quality improvements, and compressed time-to-market cycles. We deliver enterprise PLM solutions, with comprehensive out-of-the-box capabilities, to meet the needs of manufacturers of all sizes quickly and cost-effectively.


Recent Developments


Recapitalization Transaction


On March 11, 2011, we completed a recapitalization transaction in which we:


sold an aggregate of 384,588 shares of common stock, adjusted for the 1-for-20 reverse stock split described below, for an aggregate purchase price of $421,765, in a private placement transaction to investors that included Joseph P. Mullaney, who previously served as our President and Chief Executive Officer from June 2001 through December 2006 (the “private placement”);


consummated a $2.9 million term loan and a $300,000 line of credit from One Conant Capital, LLC, a subsidiary of Danversbank; and


consummated an agreement with Greenleaf Capital, Inc. (“Greenleaf”), our sole debt provider and largest shareholder at the time, whereby Greenleaf accepted $2,750,000 in cash and a $250,000 subordinated note in complete settlement of the $10.6 million of indebtedness then outstanding under our financing agreements with Greenleaf.


These transactions are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Recapitalization Transaction.” Upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, our board of directors and senior management were changed as follows:  Joseph P. Mullaney was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and was elected as a director; Robert B. Anthonyson was appointed Vice President of Business Development and was elected as a director; and J. Phillip Cooper was elected as a director. Each of these newly elected directors invested in the private placement described above. Shortly thereafter, Hank Nelson was also appointed as a director.


As part of the Recapitalization Transaction, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Shareholders which obligates us to file the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, and to maintain its effectiveness.


Reverse Stock Split


On May 24, 2011, our shareholders approved an amendment to our articles of organization to affect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Effective as of June 7, 2011, every twenty shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock. The par value of our common stock remained at $.10, and the total number of shares authorized for issuance under our articles of organization remained at 20,000,000. Unless otherwise indicated, this prospectus reflects the implementation of the 1-for-20 reverse stock split.


Sale of Advanced Manufacturing Technology Product Line


On May 24, 2011, we sold our Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) product line (including the following technologies: Prospector, ToolDesigner, and ExpertCAD) in exchange for $250,000 in cash and a note receivable in the amount of $162,500.  AMT is accounted for as a discontinued operation in this prospectus.

Risk Factors


You should consider carefully the risks described under the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 2 and elsewhere in this prospectus. These risks could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and could result in a partial or total loss of your investment.


Corporate History and Information


We were formed as a corporation in Massachusetts in 1969 and our shares of common stock began trading publicly in 1981.  Our common stock was traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market until April 6, 2001. On August 16, 2010, we filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) in order to deregister our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, our obligation to file periodic and other reports under the Exchange Act was suspended. The last periodic reports that we filed were our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 (filed August 6, 2009) and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended February 28, 2010 (filed April 12, 2010). Given our cessation of public reporting, you cannot rely on these reports or any of our other previously filed reports for current information about the Company. In connection with the effectiveness of the registration statement containing this prospectus, we expect to file a Form 8-A with the SEC registering our common stock under the Exchange Act and will again be required to file periodic and other reports under the Exchange Act.  Our principal offices are located at 59 Lowes Way, Suite 401, Lowell, Massachusetts 01851, and our telephone number is (978) 513-2700.  Our website is www.softech.com.


ProductCenter® and CADRA® are registered trademarks of SofTech. All rights reserved. Other trademarks or service marks appearing in this prospectus are the property of their respective holders.


Concentration of Ownership


As of November 4, 2011, three of the four members of our board of directors owned approximately 24% of our outstanding shares. In addition, Greenleaf, which currently owns 264,411 shares of common stock, or 26.6% of our shares currently outstanding, has agreed to vote all of its and its affiliates’ shares (including any shares subsequently acquired by Greenleaf) in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors for a three year period ending on March 8, 2014.  Also, Greenleaf has agreed that through March 8, 2012 it will not sell more than 75,000 of its shares without first providing the Company notice and giving the Company the option of purchasing some or all of the shares on the same terms.


The Offering


The Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus may offer and sell, from time to time, up to 384,588 shares of our common stock that were originally purchased by the Selling Stockholders as part of the Recapitalization Transaction described above. We will not receive any of the proceeds of sales by the Selling Shareholders of any of the common stock covered by this prospectus.


RISK FACTORS


An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks described below are those which we consider material and of which we are currently aware. Our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks. Furthermore, these factors represent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements. We refer you to our cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements,” which identifies the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Risks Related to Our Business


Continued revenue declines in our product lines would have a material adverse impact upon our business and overall financial performance.


Following the sale of our AMT product line in May 2011 (as described below under “Products and Services”), we offer two product lines, ProductCenter and CADRA.  We have experienced revenue declines in each of our last five years.


Our ProductCenter technology manages the engineering data and electronic files of discrete parts designed in third party proprietary design technologies offered primarily by Parametric Technology Corporation (“PTC”), Solidworks and Autodesk. Revenue from our ProductCenter technology has been declining due to several factors. In July 2007, PTC informed us that it would not renew its partnership agreement with us when the agreement expired in January 2008.  We had been a member of the PTC partnership program for 12 years. The PTC partnership agreement, among other things, provided us with the right to distribute certain information that allowed for our technology to directly interface with PTC’s proprietary CAD tools. The non-renewal has essentially prevented us from marketing our ProductCenter solution to new customers that utilize PTC’s technology and has negatively impacted our product revenue from this technology offering.  In addition to the PTC partnership termination, ProductCenter revenues have been negatively affected by: (i) an increased number of competitive offerings in the marketplace, (ii) elongation of purchase decisions by customers of a technology that already has a long sales cycle, and (iii) uncertain economic conditions.  


We have also experienced revenue declines in our CADRA product line.  CADRA, which we acquired in 1998, is a 2D technology that was first introduced in the early 1980’s.  The 2D marketplace is dominated by AutoCAD, a product sold by Autodesk. Due to the age and market position of our CADRA product line, we make no attempt to find new customers for this product, rather we have been focused on keeping our existing customers. As existing customers migrate to other solutions and/or reduce the use of CADRA, our revenue declines without any potential offsets from new accounts. CADRA product revenues are also negatively impacted by the newer 3D technologies available in the marketplace that have become more affordable and easier to use in the last 10 years. Given these factors, as well as the uncertain economic conditions, we anticipate that the general declining revenue trends over the past five years in the CADRA product line will continue.


Significant future declines in our total revenues would have a material adverse impact upon our business and overall financial performance.


We compete against numerous technology companies in the mature PLM industry that are significantly larger and have vastly greater financial resources at their disposal.


Many of our competitors, including PTC, Dassault, Siemens and Autodesk, have substantially greater financial, technological, marketing, managerial and research and development resources and experience than we do and represent significant competition for us. Our competitors may succeed in developing competing technologies or products which may gain market acceptance more rapidly than our products. Existing or proposed products of our competitors may render our existing or proposed products noncompetitive or obsolete. If we are unable to compete successfully in the future, the competitive pressures that we face could adversely affect our profitability or financial performance.


Our agreements with certain critical software vendors may be terminated at will by the vendor.


We utilize third party vendors to provide certain software and utilities which enable us to continue to develop and support ProductCenter customers with their integrations from ProductCenter to their respective CAD solutions. These agreements are subject to termination at will by the vendor, and, if terminated, we would need to seek alternative methods of providing continuing support to our existing customers and an alternative solution to meet the needs of prospective customers, which could have a material adverse effect on future performance. For example, in July 2007, we were informed that our agreement with one such vendor, PTC, was not going to be extended beyond its renewal date of January 31, 2008. Thus the agreement with PTC has since expired. A significant number of our current ProductCenter customer base utilizes PTC’s Pro/ENGINEER integrator solution. We continue to support our current customers who are utilizing a Pro/ENGINEER integration solution with a customer specific consulting solution. While this customer specific consulting solution has allowed us to retain the majority of our customers utilizing Pro/ENGINEER as their CAD tool, it has precluded us from proposing our solution to new customers using that CAD technology. Our inability to offer our solution to new customers utilizing Pro/ENGINEER or similar restrictions that could result from any future terminations of similar agreements with other vendors could have an adverse effect on our future revenues.



3




We may not be able to generate sufficient positive cash flow in the future to fund our operations.


In addition to our bank financing, we are dependent upon cash flow from our business to fund our operations. It is our expectation that we can continue to improve our cash flows; however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to continue to improve our cash flow in the future. If we are unable to fund our operations from future cash flows, we will need to seek additional debt or equity financing, which may not be available on attractive terms, if at all, in which case there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.


We are dependent on our borrowing facilities to meet our operating needs.


Even after the Recapitalization Transaction described above whereby our outstanding debt and other accrued liabilities were reduced by $7.6 million, we continue to be dependent on our term loan and line of credit with our new lender to meet our operating needs. Approximately 70% of our revenue is derived from annual maintenance renewal contracts that are billed and collected unevenly during the year. Our line of credit is an important component along with revenue from product sales and consulting activities for meeting our working capital needs especially during the first and second fiscal quarters when the annual maintenance collections are low.  If we are unable to access our borrowing facilities due to a default or any other reason we could be forced to curtail our operating activities which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Failure to comply with financial covenants in our loan agreement could adversely affect us.


As a result of the Recapitalization Transaction, as of August 31, 2011, we had approximately $2.5 million of outstanding indebtedness under our term loan with One Conant Capital, and have not utilized any of the $300,000 available under our line of credit. This indebtedness is secured by all of our assets. Our loan agreement includes financial covenants which require us to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios during the term of the agreement. See “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Credit Facility with One Conant Capital”. Failure to comply with the financial covenants is an event of default under the loan agreement. In an event of default, the lender has the right to accelerate repayment of all sums due, cease making additional advances under the line of credit and take any and all action, at its sole option, to collect monies owed to it, including to enforce and foreclose on its security interest on all of our assets.  If our lender were to accelerate our debt payments, our assets may not be sufficient to fully repay the debt and we may not be able to obtain capital from other sources at favorable terms or at all.  


Prior to the Recapitalization Transaction, we defaulted on our previous debt arrangement with Greenleaf.  In June 2010, we failed to make the scheduled loan payments in accordance with our term loan and revolving line of credit with Greenleaf, our sole debt provider at the time, which triggered the default. In 1999, we defaulted on our loan facility with Imperial Bank for failure to meet required profit and cash flow thresholds.


Our loan agreement imposes restrictions on our ability to take certain corporate actions and raise additional capital.


Our loan agreement contains numerous restrictions that limit our ability to undertake certain activities without the express prior written approval of the lender. These include, but are not limited to, restricting our ability to:


·

incur additional indebtedness;

·

pay or declare dividends;

·

enter into a business substantially different from existing operations;

·

issue or authorize any additional or new equity that will result in a change of control; and

·

take any corporate action outside the ordinary course of the business without the prior written approval of our lender.


These restrictions could significantly hamper our ability to raise additional capital. Our ability to receive the necessary approvals is largely dependent upon our relationship with our lender and our financial performance, and no assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain the necessary approvals in the future. Our inability to raise additional capital could lead to working capital deficits that could have a materially adverse effect on our operations in future periods.



4




Our ability to use our net operating loss carry-forwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.


As of May 31, 2011, we had approximately $18.3 million of Federal operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income, which expire in varying amounts beginning in 2022 if unused. It is possible that we will not generate taxable income in time to use these loss carry-forwards before their expiration. In addition, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating loss carry-forwards, or NOLs, to offset future taxable income. While we do not believe the Recapitalization Transaction triggered an ownership change, stock purchases and sales over the next three years could trigger the limitation of the NOLs.


Our quarterly results fluctuate making our future revenue and financial results difficult to predict.


Our quarterly revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Our quarterly revenue may fluctuate significantly for several reasons, including: the timing and success of introductions of any new products or product enhancements or those of our competitors; uncertainty created by changes in the market; variations in the size and timing of individual orders; competition and pricing; seasonality; and customer order deferrals or cancellations as a result of general economic or industry decline. Furthermore, we have often recognized a substantial portion of our product revenues in the last month of a quarter, with these revenues frequently concentrated in the last weeks or days of a quarter. As a result, product revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped in the latter part of that quarter and revenues from any future quarter are not predictable with any significant degree of accuracy. We typically do not experience order backlog. For these reasons, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.


Our financial condition could be adversely affected if significant errors or defects are found in our software.


Sophisticated software can sometimes contain errors, defects or other performance problems. If errors or defects are discovered in our current or future products, we may need to expend significant financial, technical and management resources, or divert some of our development resources, in order to resolve or work around those defects, and we may not be able to correct them in a timely manner or provide an adequate response to our customers.


Errors, defects or other performance problems in our products could cause us to delay new product releases or customer deployments. Any such delays could negatively impact our ability to realize revenue from the licensing and shipment of new or enhanced products and give our competitors a greater opportunity to market competing products. Such difficulties could also cause us to lose customers. Technical problems or the loss of customers could also damage our business reputation and cause us to lose new business opportunities.


We are dependent on key personnel whose loss could impair our operations, our product development or our sales efforts.


We are a small company with fewer than 50 employees. Our technologies are complex and have been developed over many years. While we enjoy the benefit of a very experienced, long-tenured employee group, we are dependent on many of those employees for the familiarity, expertise and unique insight they have developed with our products that would be extremely difficult and time consuming to replace. We do not have key man insurance on any of our employees. The loss of services of any of our key personnel could make it difficult for us to meet important objectives, such as timely and effective product introductions and financial goals.


Our proprietary technology and patents may offer only limited protection against infringement and may not prevent our competitors from developing competitive products.


We develop, market and support proprietary technologies, some of which include patented technology that has been in the marketplace for more than a decade. The technologies are well established and compete against the proprietary technologies of other technology companies most of whom are much larger. Given the maturity of our product offerings our patents provide very limited protection against competitors’ offerings of similar products.



5




Furthermore, others may independently develop products that are similar to our products, and may design around the claims of our patents. Patent litigation and intellectual property litigation are expensive and our resources are limited. To date, we have not received any threats of litigation regarding patent issues. However, if we were to become involved in litigation, we might not have the funds or other resources necessary to conduct the litigation effectively. This might prevent us from protecting our patents, from defending against claims of infringement, or both.


We may be sued for infringing on the intellectual property rights of others.


Our CADRA technology was introduced in the early 1980’s and our ProductCenter technology was launched in the early 1990’s. Over the decades that our technologies have been in the marketplace a significant number of patents have been filed by competitors. It is difficult if not impossible for us to monitor these patent awards to become familiar with their claims and we do not attempt to do so. Third parties may assert that we are employing their proprietary technology without authorization. While we have not been notified or sued for infringing on third-party intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that we do not or will not infringe on the patent or proprietary rights of others. Parties making claims against us may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to further develop, commercialize and sell products, and such claims could result in the award of substantial damages against us. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us, we may be required to pay damages and obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We may not be able to obtain these licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. In that event, we could encounter delays in product introductions while we attempt to develop alternative methods or products or be required to cease offering affected products and our operating results would be harmed.


Our sales and operations are globally dispersed, which exposes us to additional operating and compliance risks.


We sell and deliver software and services, and maintain support operations in multiple countries, whose laws and practices differ from one another. For the three months ended August 31, 2011, North America accounted for 67%, Europe for 25% and Asia for 8% of our revenue which was not materially different from the percentages for fiscal year 2011. Managing these geographically dispersed operations requires significant attention and resources to ensure compliance with laws. Accordingly, while we maintain a compliance program, we cannot guarantee that an employee, agent or business partner will not act in violation of our policies or U.S. or other applicable laws. Such violations can lead to civil and/or criminal prosecutions, substantial fines and the revocation of our rights to continue certain operations and also cause business and reputation loss.


As a result of becoming a public company, we will be obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.


Since August 16, 2010 we have not been required to file periodic reports and other reports with the Commission.  Following the effectiveness of the registration statement containing this prospectus, we will once again be required to file reports with the Commission. As a public company, we will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year beginning after the effective date of this offering. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. We may not be able to remediate future material weaknesses, or to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.



6




Because we are a relatively small company, the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management; and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.


As a public company, we will need to comply with new laws, regulations and requirements, certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulations of the Commission. If we list our securities on an exchange, the exchange will impose additional requirements on listed companies, including enhanced corporate governance practices. For example, the NASDAQ listing requirements require that listed companies satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to independent directors, audit committees, distribution of annual and interim reports, shareholder meetings, shareholder approvals, solicitation of proxies, conflicts of interest, shareholder voting rights and codes of business conduct.


Complying with the Commission statutes, regulations and requirements will occupy a significant amount of time of our board of directors and management and could significantly increase our costs and expenses.   The Company was an SEC reporting entity from 1981 until August 2010 and was current in its filings through the filing of the Form 15 in August 2010. The Company expects to incur incremental costs of between $100,000 and $200,000 in fiscal 2012 as compared to the prior fiscal year to meet its public company reporting responsibilities. These increased costs will be funded through cash flow from operations and our debt facilities.  These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors and board committees or as executive officers. We will need to:


·

institute a more comprehensive compliance function;

·

From time to time we may make acquisitions. The failure to successfully integrate future acquisitions could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.


As a part of our business strategy, we have in the past and may make acquisitions in the future. We may also make significant investments in complementary companies, products or technologies.  Acquisitions present many risks, and we may not realize the financial and strategic goals that were contemplated at the time of any transaction. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate any business, products, technologies or personnel that we may acquire in the future, and our failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.


Weakness in the United States and international economies may continue to adversely affect our business.


The past few years have been characterized by weak global economic conditions. Because we market, sell and license our products throughout the world, in addition to the ongoing adverse effects on our business of continued weakness in the U.S. economy, we could be significantly affected by continuing weak economic conditions in foreign as well as domestic markets that could reduce demand for our products.

Risks Related to this Offering and the Market for our Common Stock


Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be volatile, and an investment in our common stock could decline in value (all stock prices below have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split).


Over the previous three fiscal years the Company’s stock price has fluctuated in price from a low of $.40 per share to a high of $5.00 per share. Since the Recapitalization Transaction, which was completed on March 11, 2011, the low sale price of our stock was $.40 per share and the high price was $4.20 per share. A contributing factor to the price fluctuation is the low average daily volume, which over the last three fiscal years has averaged fewer than 1,000 shares per day.  Given the lack of market makers in the stock and the low demand, a shareholder’s attempt to sell a large number of shares relative to the average daily volume in a short period of time will likely have a material negative impact on the share price.


A small number of shareholders own a large number of shares thereby potentially exerting significant influence over us.


Three of the four members of our board of directors participated in the private placement and own approximately 24% of our outstanding shares. In addition, Greenleaf, which currently owns 264,411 shares of common stock, or 26.6% of our shares currently outstanding, has agreed to vote all of its and its affiliates’ shares (including any shares subsequently acquired by Greenleaf) in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors for a three year period ending on March 8, 2014. Although all eight investors in the private placement are listed as Selling Shareholders in this prospectus, these persons have no obligation to sell any of their shares and may retain significant ownership of our common stock following the sale of any shares pursuant to this prospectus. This concentration of ownership could significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval and could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of the Company or other business combinations that might otherwise be beneficial to our other shareholders. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may harm the market price of our common stock. In addition, the interest of our significant shareholders may not always coincide with the interest of the Company’s other shareholders. In deciding how to vote on such matters, they may be influenced by interests that conflict with our other shareholders.


Our stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all.


The shares of our common stock are traded on the Pink Sheets. Shares of our common stock are thinly traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume. Even in the event that we come to the attention of such persons, they would likely be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, our stock price may not reflect an actual or perceived value. Also, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer that has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. A broader or more active public trading market for our common shares may not develop or if developed, may not be sustained. Due to these conditions, you may not be able to sell your shares at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.


We do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on or repurchase any shares of our common stock.


We do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends, and other considerations that our board of directors deems relevant. Cash dividend payments in the future may only be made out of legally available funds and, if we experience substantial losses, such funds may not be available. In addition, our loan agreement prohibits us from paying dividends, making distributions or payments or redeeming, retiring or purchasing any of our capital stock. Accordingly, you may have to sell some or all of your common stock in order to generate cash flow from your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS


We will not receive any proceeds from this offering. The Selling Shareholders will receive all of the proceeds from sales of the common stock sold pursuant to this prospectus.


SELLING SHAREHOLDERS 


This prospectus relates to the sale from time to time of up to 384,588 shares of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of our common stock, the offer and sale of which are being registered on behalf of the Selling Shareholders, we are referring to the shares of common stock that were issued in the March 2011 private placement transaction described below. When we refer to the Selling Shareholders in this prospectus, we are referring to the investors in the private placement who are listed as “Selling Shareholders” in the table below and, as applicable, any donees, pledges, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the investors in the private placement as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale related transfer.


On March 11, 2011, as part of the Recapitalization Transaction, we completed a private placement transaction in which we sold an aggregate of 384,588 shares of common stock (7,691,764 shares pre-split).  In connection therewith, we agreed to file a registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, with the SEC to register the resale of the private placement shares.

The following table presents information as of November 4, 2011 and sets forth the following information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each Selling Shareholder: (i) the name of the Selling Shareholder; (ii) the number of shares of common stock owned by the Selling Shareholder; (iii) the number of shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus; (iv) the number of shares expected to be owned by the Selling Shareholder upon completion of this offering; and (v) the percentage of our outstanding shares of common stock expected to be owned by the Selling Shareholder upon completion of this offering. The following table assumes that all of the shares being registered pursuant to this prospectus will be sold.


We have prepared this table using information furnished to us by the Selling Shareholders or their representatives. For purposes of this table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Commission, and includes the right to acquire voting or investment control of our shares of common stock within 60 days of November 4, 2011. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the Selling Shareholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock. The inclusion of any shares in the table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the persons named therein.


Our registration of the common stock does not mean that the Selling Shareholders identified below will sell all or any of these securities. Furthermore, the Selling Shareholders may have sold, transferred or disposed of a portion of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act since the date on which we filed this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders are not making any representation that any shares covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders. The term “Selling Shareholder” includes pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from each Selling Shareholder as a pledge, gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The number of shares beneficially owned by a Selling Shareholder will decrease as and when he effects any such transfers. The plan of distribution for the Selling Shareholders’ shares sold hereunder will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, pledgees, donees or other successors will be Selling Shareholders hereunder. To the extent required, we may amend and supplement this prospectus from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.


The Selling Shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. There is not currently a market for our common stock.  The Selling Shareholders identified herein will be required to sell the shares registered hereunder at a fixed price of $5.00 per share until our shares of common stock are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or an exchange, and thereafter, at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. At and after such time, the Selling Shareholders may make sales at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. The Selling Shareholders may also make sales in negotiated transactions. The Selling Shareholders may offer their shares from time to time pursuant to one or more of the following methods:


·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·

one or more block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·

public or privately negotiated transactions;

·

on the Pink Sheets (or any successor market), BX Venture Market, NASDAQ, OTC Bulletin Board or through the facilities of any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, on which the shares are then listed, admitted to unlisted trading privileges or included for quotation;

·

through underwriters, brokers or dealers (who may act as agents or principals) or directly to one or more purchasers;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Selling Shareholders may:


·

enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume;

·

sell the shares short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions;

·

enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of shares offered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; and

·

pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell.


In addition to the foregoing methods, the Selling Shareholders may offer their shares from time to time in transactions involving principals or brokers not otherwise contemplated above, in a combination of such methods described above or any other lawful methods. The Selling Shareholders may also transfer, donate or assign their shares to lenders, family members and others and each of such persons will be deemed to be a Selling Shareholder for purposes of this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders or their successors in interest may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock, and if the Selling Shareholders default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from to time under this prospectus; provided however in the event of a pledge or then default on a secured obligation by the Selling Shareholder, in order for the shares to be sold under this registration statement, unless permitted by law, we must distribute a prospectus supplement and/or amendment to this registration statement amending the list of Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, secured party or other successors in interest of the Selling Shareholder under this prospectus.



11




The Selling Shareholders may also sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the availability of certain current public information concerning the issuer, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding certain limitations.


Sales through brokers may be made by any method of trading authorized by any stock exchange or market on which the shares may be listed or quoted, including block trading in negotiated transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, such brokers may act as dealers by purchasing any or all of the shares covered by this prospectus, either as agents for others or as principals for their own accounts, and reselling such shares pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions directly, or indirectly through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents acting on their behalf. In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Shareholders, in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions for routine market transactions).


In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the Selling Shareholders, and any broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Shareholders, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Any profits realized by the Selling Shareholders and the compensation of such broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.


The Company has advised the Selling Shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Shareholders and their affiliates.  In addition, the Company will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The Selling Shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.


The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares.


The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.


DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK


The following is a summary of the rights of our capital stock and certain provisions of our articles of organization, as amended, and by-laws.  For more detailed information, please see our articles of organization, as amended, and by-laws filed as exhibits to the registration statement containing this prospectus.


Authorized Capital Stock


Our authorized capital stock consists of 20,000,000 shares, with a par value of $.10 per share, all of which are designated as common stock.  There are no shares of preferred stock authorized.


As of November 4, 2011, we had outstanding 995,135 shares of common stock, held of record by 223 shareholders.


Description of Common Stock


Voting.  Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders and do not have cumulative voting rights.  An election of directors by our shareholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote on the election.  


Dividends.  Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors.



12




Liquidation and Dissolution.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all our net assets available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities.  


Other Rights and Restrictions.  Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights or subscription rights, and they have no right to convert their common stock into any other securities.  Our common stock is not subject to redemption by us, and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.  Our articles of organization and by-laws do not restrict the ability of a holder of common stock to transfer his, her or its shares of common stock.  Massachusetts law provides that if we make a distribution to our shareholders, other than a distribution of our capital stock, when we are insolvent, or that renders us insolvent, then our shareholders would be required to pay back to us the amount of the distribution we made to them, or the portion of the distribution that causes us to become insolvent.


Transfer Agent and Registrar.  The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Registrar and Transfer Company.


Registration Rights.  In connection with the private placement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Selling Shareholders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, to cover the resale of the 384,588 shares of common stock (7,691,764 shares pre-split) issued in the private placement, within 90 calendar days after the closing of the private placement. We agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement, of which the prospectus is a part, declared effective as promptly as reasonable possible. We also agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the shares have been sold by the Selling Shareholders and (ii) the date that all the shares may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.


The Registration Rights Agreement also grants piggyback registration rights to the Selling Shareholders if we propose to register any of our equity securities under the Securities Act (other than on a registration statement on Form S-8 or S-4), whether for our own account or for the account of another person.


We agreed in the Registration Rights Agreement to pay for all expenses, including the reasonable legal expenses of one counsel to the Selling Shareholders (not to exceed $25,000), relating to the registration of any shares thereunder.


Massachusetts Law and Charter and By-law Provisions


Business Combinations with Interested Shareholders.  We are subject to the provisions of Chapter 110F of the Massachusetts General Laws, an anti-takeover law. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly-held Massachusetts corporation with sufficient ties to Massachusetts from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested shareholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person becomes an interested shareholder, unless either (1) the interested shareholder obtains the approval of the board of directors prior to becoming an interested shareholder, (2) the interested shareholder acquires 90% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares held by certain affiliates of the corporation) at the time he becomes an interested shareholder or (3) the business combination is approved by both the board of directors and two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested shareholder) at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, but not by written consent.  In general, an “interested shareholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 5% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock or who as an affiliate at any time within the prior three years did own 5% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.  A “business combination” generally includes mergers, stock and asset sales and other transactions with the interested shareholder resulting in a financial benefit to the interested shareholder, except proportionately as a shareholder of the corporation. We may at any time amend our articles of organization or by-laws, by vote of the holders of a majority of our voting stock, to elect not to be governed by Chapter 110F, but such an amendment would not be effective for 12 months and would not apply to a business combination with any person who became an interested shareholder prior to the date of the amendment.  



13




In addition, our articles of organization also include restrictions on certain business combinations with interested shareholders.  In general, we cannot enter into a business combination with an interested shareholder without the approval of at least 90% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company unless the proposed business combination either (i) is approved by a majority of the disinterested directors or (ii) meets certain price and procedure requirements.  In general, an “interested shareholder” under our articles of organization is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock or who as an affiliate at any time within the prior two years did own 10% or more of the Company’s voting stock.  Under our articles of organization a “business combination” generally includes any (1) merger or consolidation, (2) sale, lease, exchange, pledge, transfer or other disposition of $1,000,000 or more, (3) issuance or transfer of securities of the Company of $1,000,000 or more, (4) adoption of a plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (5) reclassification of securities or recapitalization which directly or indirectly increases the proportion of securities owned by the interested shareholder.


Control Share Acquisitions.  We also are subject to the provisions of Chapter 110D of the Massachusetts General Laws, entitled “Regulation of Control Share Acquisitions.” This statute provides, in general, that any shareholder who acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation subject to this statute may not vote that stock unless the shareholders of the corporation so authorize.  In addition, Chapter 110D permits a corporation to provide in its articles of organization or by-laws that the corporation may redeem, for fair value, all of the shares acquired in a control share acquisition if the interested shareholder does not deliver a control share acquisition statement as required by the statute or if the interested shareholder delivers a control share acquisition statement but the disinterested shareholders of the corporation do not authorize voting rights for those shares. If the disinterested shareholders authorize voting rights and after a control share acquisition the acquiring shareholder beneficially owns shares entitling the acquiring shareholder to vote, or direct the voting of, shares having a majority or more of all voting power in the election of directors, each shareholder who did not vote in favor of authorizing the voting rights may demand payment for its shares and appraisal rights. Control share acquisitions do not include acquisitions made in connection with a negotiated tender offer, merger or consolidation to which the issuing public corporation is a party or acquisitions of shares made directly from the corporation. We may amend our articles of organization or by-laws at any time to elect not to be governed by Chapter 110D, but such amendment would not apply to an acquisition that occurred prior to the effective date of such amendment.


Takeover Bids.  We are also subject to the provisions of Chapter 110C of the Massachusetts General Laws, which requires the person commencing a takeover bid to file certain information with the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the target company and provides that a bidder who fails to disclose its intent to gain control over a target corporation prior to acquiring 5% of the target company’s stock is precluded from making any takeover bid for a period of one year after crossing the 5% threshold.


Authorized but Unissued Shares.  As a result of the recent 1-for-20 reverse stock split, we have 19,004,865 authorized but unissued shares of common stock available for future issuance, and 995,135 shares of common stock outstanding, as of November 4, 2011. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans.  The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.


Shareholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meeting of Shareholders.  Although our articles of organization and our by-laws allow our shareholders to act by written consent, such written consent must be signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on the matter.  This significantly restricts the ability of our shareholders to act by written consent and essentially provides that our shareholders may only act at a duly called shareholders meeting.  In addition, special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our President, our board of directors or one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of our voting stock.


Staggered Board; Removal of Directors; Vacancies.  Our articles of organization provide for the division of our board of directors into three classes as nearly equal in size as possible with staggered three-year terms.  We are also subject to provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws providing that the boards of public companies have staggered terms.  Our articles of organization, as amended, also provide that directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 90% of the shares of our capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors or a majority of the directors then in office.  In addition, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the board, may only be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office.  The classification of our board of directors and the limitations on the removal of directors and filling of vacancies could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of us.

 In May 2011 we sold the assets and liabilities of the AMT group in exchange for $250,000 in cash and a note receivable in the amount of $162,500.  AMT is accounted for as a discontinued operation in this prospectus.

Marketing and Distribution


We market and distribute our products and services primarily through a direct sales force and through our service organization in North America and Europe. The majority of our sales in Asia are in Japan. We market and distribute our products and services in Japan primarily through authorized resellers. We have contracted with resellers in Europe to reach areas not covered by our direct sales presence and to supplement our existing sales force; however, to date, the revenue generated from this indirect distribution has not been material.


Competition


We compete against much larger entities, all of which have substantially greater financial resources than we do. We operate in an extremely competitive market for all of our software and service offerings. We compete in all our markets on the basis of meeting our customers’ business needs with a viable solution that offers an affordable price, low cost of ownership and a high level of customer support and service.


The CADRA software technology competes directly with the offerings of such companies as Autodesk and Siemens. This 2D technology is also marketed as a complementary offering to many 3D products (that all possess some level of 2D drafting capability) offered by companies such as PTC, Dassault, Siemens, Autodesk and SolidWorks. These companies all have financial resources far in excess of our resources.


Our Company’s PLM and collaborative technology, ProductCenter, competes against offerings of the companies listed in the paragraph above and against other companies that have focused on PLM and collaborative offerings as well.


Our service offerings, which include consulting, training and discrete engineering services, compete with offerings by all of the large CAD companies noted above, small regional engineering services companies and the in-house capabilities of our customers.


Personnel


As of August 31, 2011, we employed 41 persons, 38 on a full time basis and 3 part time.


Backlog


Product backlog as of August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011 was insignificant as it was for the comparable periods in the prior fiscal years. Deferred revenue, consisting primarily of software maintenance services for which the Company has billed, but where the service is to be performed during the following year, totaled approximately $1,801,000 and $2,118,000 at August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, we had a backlog of consulting orders totaling approximately $.4 million at both August 31, 2011 and 2010.


Deferred revenue totaled approximately $2,301,000 and $2,618,000 at May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, we had a backlog of consulting orders totaling approximately $.5 million at both May 31, 2011 and 2010.


Research and Development


We have approximately 11 product development engineers in our research and development groups located in Michigan and Massachusetts. In fiscal 2011 and 2010, we incurred research and development expense of approximately $1.6 million related to the development of our technology and products. We have also used third-party engineering companies to perform some of our product development and quality assurance testing of our technology.


Intellectual Property


We rely primarily on a combination of trade secrets, patents, copyright and trademark laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect our technology. Due to the technological change that characterizes the PLM industry, we believe that the improvement of existing products, reliance upon trade secrets and unpatented proprietary know-how and the development of new products are generally as important as patent protection in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage.



16




We own four patents related to our CADRA and ProductCenter technologies. One of our CADRA related patents expires in 2013 and the other expires in 2016. Our two ProductCenter related patents expire in 2016 and 2019. We have not been nor are we currently involved in or aware of any litigation regarding any of our patents. In addition to our patents, we have secured registration on a number of trademarks which we consider important to the protection of our brands.


Governmental Regulation


We export our products throughout the world, and thus we are subject to Federal Export Regulations. We believe we comply with all such regulations. Although our non-U.S. based revenue was 34% of total revenue in 2011, we do not view these regulations as particularly onerous nor are the compliance costs material to our operations.


Customers


No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in fiscal 2011 or 2010.


Seasonality


Our first fiscal quarter, which begins June 1 and ends August 31, has historically been our slowest quarter. We believe that this weakness is due primarily to the buying habits of our customers and that this quarter falls within prime vacation periods.


PROPERTIES


We lease office space in Lowell, Massachusetts, Munich, Germany, and Milan, Italy. We believe that our current office space is adequate for current and anticipated levels of business activity.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. As of the date of this prospectus, there are no material outstanding claims and no amounts have been accrued.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this prospectus.  This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties.  As a result of many factors, such as those set forth in this prospectus under “Risk Factors,” actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.


Overview


We operate in one reportable segment and are engaged in the development, marketing, distribution and support of computer software solutions that enable companies to manage the entire lifecycle of their products from conception through design and manufacture, to service and disposal, all of which is known in the industry as Product Lifecycle Management (“PLM”). These solutions include software technology offerings for Computer Aided Design (“CAD”), Product Data Management (“PDM”) and Collaboration technologies, all of which fit under the broadly defined PLM industry. Our operations are organized geographically in the U.S. and Europe. We have sales and customer support offices in the U.S., Germany and Italy. We also operate through resellers in Europe and Asia. Components of revenue and long-lived assets (consisting primarily of goodwill and property, plant and equipment) by geographic location are outlined in Note E to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 and Note C to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2011.



18




Following the sale of our Advanced Manufacturing Technology (“AMT”) product line in May 2011 as described in Note J to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, we have two primary products lines:  ProductCenter® and CADRA®.  In general, we have experienced year-over-year declines in revenue and a lack of new customers for these products for several years until fiscal 2011 when our CADRA product line revenue increased by approximately 5% due primarily to our customers upgrading their operating systems to Windows 7 from Microsoft.


Revenue from our ProductCenter technology has been declining due to several factors. In July 2007, PTC informed us that it would not renew its partnership agreement with us when the agreement expired in January 2008.  We had been a member of the PTC partnership program for 12 years. The PTC partnership agreement, among other things, provided us with the right to distribute certain information that allowed for our technology to directly interface with PTC’s proprietary CAD tools. The non-renewal has essentially prevented us from marketing our ProductCenter solution to new customers that utilize PTC’s technology and has negatively impacted our product revenue from this technology offering.  In addition to the PTC partnership termination, ProductCenter revenue has been negatively affected by: (i) an increased number of competitive offerings in the marketplace, (ii) elongation of purchase decisions by customers of a technology that already has a long sales cycle, and (iii) uncertain economic conditions.  


Until fiscal 2011, we have also experienced revenue declines in our CADRA product line.  CADRA, which we acquired in 1998, is a 2D technology that was first introduced in the early 1980’s.  The 2D marketplace is dominated by AutoCAD, a product sold by Autodesk.  Due to the age and market position of our CADRA product line, we make no attempt to find new customers for this product, rather we have been focused on keeping our existing customers. As existing customers migrate to other solutions and/or reduce the use of CADRA, our revenue declines without any potential offsets from new accounts. CADRA product revenue is also negatively impacted by the newer 3D technologies available in the marketplace that have become more affordable and easier to use in the last 10 years.  Given these factors, as well as the uncertain economic conditions, we anticipate that the general declining revenue trends over the past five years in the CADRA product line will continue although these declines may be mitigated by our customers upgrading their operating systems which may require purchases of new CADRA licenses.


Since the transaction completed on March 11, 2011 described immediately hereunder (the “Recapitalization Transaction”), the new management team has been evaluating strategies to reverse this trend and find new ways to generate revenues and strengthen the Company’s business.


Recent Events


Recapitalization Transaction


On March 11, 2011, we completed the Recapitalization Transaction in which we (i) sold an aggregate of 384,588 shares of common stock in a private placement transaction to investors that included Joseph P. Mullaney, who previously served as our President and Chief Executive Officer from June 2001 through December 2006; (ii) consummated a $2.9 million term loan and a $300,000 line of credit from One Conant Capital, LLC, a subsidiary of Danversbank; and (iii) consummated an agreement with Greenleaf Capital, Inc. (“Greenleaf”), our sole debt provider and largest shareholder at the time, whereby Greenleaf accepted $2,750,000 in cash and a $250,000 subordinated note in complete settlement of the $10.6 million then outstanding under our financing agreements with them.  The Recapitalization Transaction improved our financial position and our cost structure as follows:


·

Improved our working capital position by approximately $10.1 million;

·

Allowed for the utilization of tax attributes that might otherwise expire unused;

·

Reduced our annual debt service (principal and interest) from approximately $2.5 million under the Greenleaf debt facilities to approximately $1.1 million with our new lender for fiscal 2012;

·

Reduced our interest expense from approximately $600,000 to approximately $209,000 for fiscal year 2012;

·

Replaced the Greenleaf debt instrument that was in default with a new debt facility that includes a line of credit;

·

Removed the uncertainty surrounding the possible actions that were available to Greenleaf to foreclose on our assets; and

·

Turned stockholders’ deficit to equity for the first time in nearly a decade.


In addition, the new debt facility provides us with a $300,000 line of credit.



19




Upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, our board of directors and senior management were changed as follows:  Joseph P. Mullaney was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and was elected as a director; Robert B. Anthonyson was appointed Vice President of Business Development and was elected as a director; and J. Phillip Cooper was elected as a director. Each of these newly elected directors invested in the private placement described above. Shortly thereafter, Hank Nelson was also appointed as a director.


Reverse Stock Split


On May 24, 2011, our shareholders approved an amendment to our articles of organization to affect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The amendment to our articles of organization had been previously approved by our board of directors and was filed with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June 2, 2011. Pursuant to the amendment, effective as of June 7, 2011, every twenty shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock. The par value of our common stock remained at $.10, and the total number of shares authorized for issuance under our articles of organization remained at 20,000,000.  Unless otherwise indicated, this prospectus reflects the impact of the 1-for-20 reverse stock split.


Sale of the AMT Product Line


On May 24, 2011, we completed the sale of our AMT product line, which develops and markets CAD and CAM technologies to the specialized Tool & Die industry, to a long tenured manager of that group. Accordingly, the AMT operating results and the assets and liabilities have been presented herein as discontinued operations as described in Note J to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.


We received $250,000 in cash and a note receivable in the amount of $162,500 in exchange for AMT. The note carries a monthly interest rate of 1% and will be repaid through periodic payments from 75% of the cash flow of the business. We had originally acquired AMT in November 1997.  Revenue for the AMT product line was $547,000 and $498,000 for fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. We recorded a gain of $151,000 on the sale of AMT in fiscal year 2011.


Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates


The SEC issued disclosure guidance for “critical accounting policies.” The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.


Our significant accounting policies are described in Note B to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. We believe that the following accounting policies require the application of our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments:


Revenue Recognition


We follow the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985, Software. Revenue from software license sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has been made, and a fixed fee and collectability has been determined. The Company does not provide for a right of return. For multiple element arrangements, total fees are allocated to each of the undelivered elements based upon vendor specific objective evidence of their fair values, with the residual amount recognized as revenue for the delivered elements, using the residual method set forth in ASC 985. Revenue from customer maintenance support agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreements, typically one year. Revenue from engineering, consulting and training services is recognized as those services are rendered using a proportional performance model.



20




Estimating Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Receivable


We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future operating results.


Valuation of Long-lived and Intangible Assets


We periodically review the carrying value of all intangible assets and other long-lived assets. If indicators of impairment exist, we compare the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets over their estimated economic life to the related carrying value of those assets to determine if the assets are impaired. If the carrying value of the asset is greater than the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the assets would be decreased to their fair value through a charge to operations. As of August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011, we do not have any long-lived assets we consider to be impaired.


Goodwill


We account for goodwill pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.  This statement requires that goodwill be reviewed annually, or more frequently as a result of an event or change in circumstances, for possible impairment with impaired assets written down to fair value.  As of May 31, 2011, we conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of the underlying assets and liabilities of our one reportable segment. We determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount of the underlying assets and liabilities, therefore no impairment existed as of the testing date.  


Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets


We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred income taxes considering several factors, including our estimate of the likelihood of our generating sufficient taxable income in future years during the period over which temporary differences reverse. Our deferred tax assets are currently fully reserved.

Our CADRA and ProductCenter technologies both experienced revenue declines during the three month period ended August 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The specific reasons for the fluctuations in revenue are described by product line below.


Product Revenue


Product revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2011 was approximately $303,000 as compared to approximately $240,000 for the same period in 2010, a 26.3% increase. The table below details product revenue by product line for the three month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except percentages):

Our ProductCenter technology is a server based solution that is often evaluated over an extended period of time by customers prior to purchase due to its importance to an enterprise, the various functions within the enterprise that are impacted by the purchase decision and the other systems within an enterprise it may need to communicate with. It is also a purchase that can be deferred. In addition to the long sales cycle, the offerings of competitive products from proprietary CAD vendors have improved over the last several years. The poor economic conditions of the last two years have also reduced demand within our customer base for expansion of users. All of these factors together with the loss of the PTC Partnership Program in 2008 have contributed to significantly reduced product revenue for this technology.  Quarterly product revenue for ProductCenter declined for seven of the eight quarters during fiscal 2010 and 2011 when compared to the same quarterly period in the previous fiscal year. During that same time period new customer wins were nominal. The increase of 33% in Q1 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011 is more the result of the very low production in the prior fiscal year. We do not see the increase as a reliable signal of a trend  change of the recent past.


Our CADRA technology is a desktop solution. The CADRA product revenue for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 increased nearly 17% from the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Revenue from this product line had declined each fiscal year from 2007 through 2010 due to numerous factors including the age of the technology and competitors’ offerings. In fiscal 2011, however, CADRA total revenue increased by approximately 5% from fiscal 2010 with a significant double-digit increase in product revenue. The current quarter’s product revenue increase appears to signal continued positive momentum and was derived from our existing customers purchasing additional licenses to meet their design and manufacturing needs.


Service Revenue


Our service revenue is composed of both annual maintenance contracts for previously licensed technology for both of our product lines and consulting revenue generated primarily from our ProductCenter technology. The table below summarizes service revenue by product line for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, (in thousands, except percentages):

Maintenance revenue included in the above summary totaled approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2011, a decrease of about 18.9% from 2010.  The year over year percentage declines in maintenance revenue for ProductCenter were 22.2% and for CADRA were 16.4%. The decrease in ProductCenter maintenance revenue was due primarily to the decision by our largest ProductCenter customer to delay issuing a purchase order for their annual maintenance coverage when their maintenance contract expired in January 2011. This customer is migrating to a competitor’s solution but continues to utilize ProductCenter in the majority of its manufacturing facilities. It is uncertain as to whether this customer will purchase maintenance coverage during the migration, however, it is highly unusual for a multi-national manufacturer to run critical third party software in production without maintenance support and inconsistent with the software license agreement.


The decrease in CADRA maintenance revenue was due entirely to a delay in receiving the maintenance renewal for our largest European CADRA maintenance customer. We normally receive the maintenance renewal in our first quarter. We have not yet received the maintenance renewal, however we expect to receive the purchase order before the end of our second quarter. Had we received the order in Q1 our CADRA maintenance would have increased slightly.



24




Consulting revenue included in the above summary totaled approximately $195,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2011, a decrease of 7.1% from fiscal 2010. More than 90% of the consulting revenue is generated from professional services provided to our ProductCenter customer base. Consulting revenue is directly related to the amount of product revenue generated in the current and immediately preceding quarters in that implementation, customization and/or training revenue is often a component of the product license order. The decrease in consulting revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to the significant decrease in ProductCenter product revenue for the two quarters ended August 31, 2011 compared to the same periods last year.  


Revenue by Geographic Area - Revenue generated in the U.S. accounted for 67% of total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2011 as compared to 63% of total revenue in the comparable prior period. Revenue generated in Europe was 25% of total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2011 as compared to 29% of total revenue in the comparable prior period. Revenue generated in Asia was 8% of total revenue for each of the three month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010. During the three months ended August 31, 2011, revenue from the U.S. decreased by approximately 6%, revenue from Europe decreased by approximately 22.6%, and revenue from Asia decreased by approximately 13.3%, in each case, compared to same period in fiscal year 2010. The aforementioned revenue declines in our ProductCenter technology are the reason for the adverse changes in North America as this technology is almost exclusively North American based.


Gross Margin


Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 77.7% and 80.1% for the three month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cost of revenue for the three month period ending August 31, 2011 and 2010 was $348,000 and $351,000, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was due to the decrease in service revenue for the three month periods ended August 31, 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 while costs were essentially unchanged. Cost of sales are primarily fixed in nature, at least in the short term, and do not fluctuate proportionately with changes in revenue.


Research and Development Expenses


Research and development expenses were approximately $383,000 and $401,000 for the three month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The 4.5% decrease in research and development expenses for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 was due to the reduced spending on off-shore, third party development during the current quarter.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $708,000 and $816,000 for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The 13.2% decrease was due primarily to professional fees incurred last year exploring various alternatives to resolve the debt default under the Greenleaf facilities.


Interest Expense


Interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2011 was approximately $91,000, as compared to approximately $121,000 for the comparable prior period. This decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in the debt as a result of the Recapitalization Transaction (see Note E to the unaudited consolidated financial statements).


Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes


Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 was approximately $53,000 as compared to approximately $87,000 for the comparable prior period.

Revenue


Total revenue for fiscal year 2011 was approximately $6.9 million as compared to $7.2 million for fiscal 2010. Overall, revenue stabilized during fiscal 2011 after each product line suffered double-digit revenue declines from 2009 to 2010 due to the very difficult economic climate during that period.

Our CADRA technology experienced revenue growth during fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This revenue growth was more than offset by a revenue decline from our ProductCenter technology. The specific reasons for the fluctuations in revenue are described by product line below.


Product Revenue


Product revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 was approximately $1.12 million as compared to $1.05 million for fiscal 2010, a 6.5% increase. The table below details product revenue by product line for fiscal year 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except percentages):

Our ProductCenter technology is a server based solution that is often evaluated over an extended period of time by customers prior to purchase due to its importance to an enterprise, the various functions within the enterprise that are impacted by the purchase decision and the other systems within an enterprise it may need to communicate with. It is also a purchase that can be deferred. In addition to the long sales cycle, the offerings of competitive products from proprietary CAD vendors have improved over the last several years. The poor economic conditions of the last two years have also reduced demand within our customer base for expansion of users. All of these factors together with the loss of the PTC Partnership Program in 2008 have contributed to significantly reduced product revenue for this technology over the last seven quarters.


Our CADRA technology is a desktop solution. The product revenue for fiscal 2011 represents a significant increase from fiscal 2010; however, the results represent a return towards the product revenue of fiscal 2009. CADRA has enjoyed the benefit of some of our lapsed maintenance customers purchasing new seats as they upgrade to the Windows 7 operating system from Microsoft. Older versions of our software will not run on the Windows 7 operating system and lapsed maintenance customers that still need to use our technology to create new designs or simply access legacy data may need to purchase new licenses. We expect this operating system upgrade benefit to continue to positively impact us, however, planning for such an operating system upgrade can take large enterprises more than 24 months.

Service Revenue


Our service revenue is composed of both annual maintenance contracts for previously licensed technology for both of our product lines and consulting revenue generated primarily from our ProductCenter technology. The table below summarizes service revenue by product line for the twelve months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (in thousands, except percentages):

Maintenance revenue included in the above summary totaled approximately $4.8 million for the twelve months ended May 31, 2011, a decrease of about 12% from fiscal 2010.  The year over year percentage declines in maintenance revenue for ProductCenter were 10% and for CADRA were 13%. We continue to experience customers declining to renew maintenance or reducing the number of seats covered by maintenance without new customer wins to offset the maintenance losses.


Consulting revenue included in the above summary totaled approximately $963,000 for the twelve months ended May 31, 2011, an increase of 27% from fiscal 2010. More than 90% of the consulting revenue is generated from professional services provided to our ProductCenter customer base. The increase from fiscal 2010 to 2011 represents a return to a more normalized spending level by our customers, as the general economic conditions have improved.


Revenue by Geographic Area - Revenue generated in the U.S. accounted for 66% of total revenue for the twelve months ended May 31, 2011 as compared to 68% of total revenue in the comparable prior period. Revenue generated in Europe was 25% of total revenue for the twelve months ended May 31, 2011 as compared to 24% of total revenue in the comparable prior period.  Revenue generated in Asia for the twelve months ended May 31, 2011 was 9% of total revenue as compared to 8% of total revenue for the comparable prior period. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2011, revenue from the U.S. decreased by approximately 8%, revenue from Europe increased by approximately 1%, and revenue from Asia increased by approximately 1%, in each case, compared to same period in fiscal year 2010. The aforementioned revenue declines in our ProductCenter technology are the reason for the adverse changes in North America as this technology is almost exclusively North American based.


Gross Margin


Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 79.5% and 79.6% for the twelve month periods ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs ceased in fiscal 2010 when those costs were fully amortized. This was partially offset by a small increase in other cost of sales expenses in fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.


Research and Development Expenses


Research and development expenses were approximately $1.6 million for each of the twelve month periods ended May 31, 2011 and 2010. Our headcount, compensation levels and utilization of offshore development resources remained constant year over year.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, an increase of $1.0 million or 35.3% from the comparable twelve month period in fiscal 2010. The increase was due primarily to significant legal and advisory fees that can generally be grouped into the following categories:


·

$365,000 of professional fees incurred and paid by us between June 2010 and December 2010 exploring various alternatives to resolve the debt default under the Greenleaf facilities;

·

$142,000 of professional fees incurred and paid by us subsequent to signing the letter of intent in December 2010 that culminated in the Recapitalization Transaction; and



28




·

$540,000 of transaction bonuses paid by Greenleaf to the CFO and the former CEO upon completion of the Recapitalization Transaction. As detailed in Note F to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, due to Greenleaf’s ownership position, we recorded these payments as fiscal year 2011 expenses and as an additional equity investment by Greenleaf.


Interest Expense


Interest expense for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 was approximately $520,000, as compared to approximately $589,000 for the comparable prior period. From the default on the Greenleaf debt in June 2010 through the Recapitalization Transaction, we accrued but did not pay the interest expense on the Greenleaf debt. Approximately $448,000 of interest expense was not paid to Greenleaf and was forgiven as part of the Recapitalization Transaction (see Note F to the consolidated financial statements).


Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes


Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for fiscal year 2011 was approximately $(564,000) as compared to approximately $528,000 for the comparable prior period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


During the three month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the net cash used in operating activities totaled $510,000 and $110,000, respectively. In the current quarter, about $300,000 of cash was utilized to pay down liabilities and another $500,000 of cash use was related to the reduction of deferred maintenance revenue. Liabilities at May 31, 2011 were unusually high as a result of professional fees related to the Recapitalization Transaction and the year end audit as well as accrued compensation (payroll for the last two weeks in May 2011 were paid on June 1, 2011 due to a processing delay.). The decrease of $500,000 in deferred revenue was due primarily to the timing of annual maintenance software contracts with the majority of the contract renewals and annual billings taking place in our second and third fiscal quarters each year. The first quarter decrease in deferred maintenance revenue over the previous three fiscal years has been consistent with the current quarter experience.


The fiscal year 2012 budget expectation is that cash provided by operating activities will generate approximately $1 million which includes a budgeted use of cash of $577,000 in the first quarter. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 the cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $536,000.


For more than a decade, our primary source of external capital was debt financing from Greenleaf. From fiscal year 2002 through 2010 we generated approximately $6.4 million in net cash from operations which included cash from our AMT product line that was sold in May 2011. The debt service related to the Greenleaf debt instruments essentially absorbed all of the cash generated from operations. In each of fiscal 2009 and 2010, the total principal and interest payments to Greenleaf totaled $2.5 million. In June 2010, we failed to make scheduled loan payments in accordance with our loan agreements with Greenleaf which triggered a default on the debt.


Over the course of fiscal 2011, we sought various alternatives for rectifying the June 2010 debt default. On March 11, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Greenleaf whereby they accepted $2,750,000 in cash and a $250,000 subordinated note in complete satisfaction of the $10.6 million then outstanding under its loan agreements. An investor group, led by the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, purchased 384,588 authorized but unissued shares of common stock for $421,765 and arranged for new debt facilities totaling $3.2 million with a commercial bank.


The Recapitalization Transaction described above positively impacted our financial position as follows:


·

Improved our working capital position by approximately $10.1 million;

·

Allowed for the utilization of tax attributes that might otherwise expire unused;

·

Reduced our annual debt service (principal and interest) from approximately $2.5 million under the Greenleaf debt facilities to approximately $1.1 million with our new lender for fiscal 2012;

·

Reduced our interest expense from approximately $600,000 to approximately $209,000 for fiscal year 2012;

·

Replaced the Greenleaf debt instrument that was in default with a new debt facility that includes a line of credit;




29





·

Removed the uncertainty surrounding the possible actions that were available to Greenleaf to foreclose on our assets; and

·

Turned stockholders’ deficit to equity for the first time in nearly a decade.


In addition, the new debt facility provides us with a $300,000 line of credit.


The new debt facilities do carry much more restrictive loan covenants than the Greenleaf debt instruments. These covenants are described in more detail in the section hereunder entitled “Credit Facility with One Conant Capital”.


Sources of Cash


As of August 31, 2011, we had cash on hand of approximately $827,000, a decrease of approximately $759,000 from May 31, 2011. The decrease in cash was related to the use of $510,000 of cash in operating activities as explained above, $180,000 in scheduled debt repayments and approximately $90,000 in professional fees to register the common stock issued in the Recapitalization Transaction with the SEC.


Our expectation for the next twelve months is that our net cash from operations will be improved from the net cash generated from operations over the last two fiscal years. The improvement is expected to result from greatly reduced professional fees in fiscal 2012 relative to fiscal 2011 given the resolution of the Greenleaf debt default. This will be partially reduced by interest payments on the debt in that no payments were made in fiscal 2011 during the period of default.


The Company was an SEC reporting entity from 1981 until August 2010 and was current in its filings through the filing of the Form 15 in August 2010. The Company expects to incur incremental costs of between $100,000 and $200,000 in fiscal 2012 as compared to the prior fiscal year to meet its public company reporting responsibilities. These increased costs will be funded through cash flow from operations and our debt facilities.


The Recapitalization Transaction described above resolved our debt default with Greenleaf by providing the funds to settle the debt and provide us with sufficient working capital for fiscal year 2012.


The Company believes that its available cash, line of credit and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet its capital needs for at least the next twelve months.


Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity


Internally Generated Funds.  The key factors affecting our internally generated funds are demand for our services, competition, economic conditions in the markets in which we operate and industry trends.


Restrictions Under Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility with One Conant Capital, LLC contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including restrictive covenants and affirmative quarterly financial covenants, which are described in more detail below. As of August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Facility.


Credit Facility with One Conant Capital


We are party to a $3.2 million credit facility with One Conant Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Danversbank, as lender (the “Lender”), consisting of a $2.9 million term loan and a $300,000 revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is provided pursuant to a Loan, Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, between the Company and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The Credit Facility is guaranteed by Joseph Mullaney, our President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, by Mr. Mullaney in favor of the Lender, under which Mr. Mullaney has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the performance of the Company under the Credit Facility and by the Company’s subsidiaries, Information Decisions, Incorporated and Workgroup Technology Corporation (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, by the Subsidiary Guarantors in favor of the Lender, under which the Subsidiary Guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the performance of the Company under the Credit Facility. As of August 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $2.5 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.



30




Each of the term loan and the revolving line of credit has a three year term and matures on February 28, 2014. Amounts borrowed under each of the term loan and the revolving line of credit bear interest at the annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus three percent, (ii) LIBOR plus five and one half percent, and (iii) ten percent, per annum. If the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) is 1.5:1.0 or less for two consecutive fiscal quarters, the minimum interest rate is reduced to eight percent. Effective October 15, 2011, based on our performance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the interest rate was reduced from 10% to 8% prospectively. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly fee of 1.5% of revenue throughout the term of the Credit Facility.


Under the term loan, commencing March 31, 2011 and continuing for 35 months, the Company must pay the Lender monthly principal installments in the aggregate amount of $60,000 per month. On each of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2013, the Company must pre-pay unpaid principal, in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Loan Agreement) from the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year. The Company must make a final balloon payment of all unpaid principal and interest on the February 28, 2014 maturity date.


The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a number of restrictive loan covenants, which restrict the Company’s ability to take any of the following actions, among others, without prior written consent of the Lender: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay or declare dividends; (iii) enter into a business substantially different from existing operations; (iv) issue or authorize any additional or new equity that will result in a change of control; and (v) take any corporate action outside the ordinary course of business.


The Loan Agreement also includes the following three affirmative financial covenants measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter throughout the term of the Credit Facility:


Leverage Ratio: The ratio of indebtedness under the Credit Facility to EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), must not exceed:


·

2.25:1 for the six month period ending August 31, 2011 and the nine month period ending November 30, 2011 (with the partial year EBITDA annualized for each of those periods);

·

2.00:1 for the four fiscal quarters ending on each of February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2012;

·

1.75:1 for the four fiscal quarters ending on each of August 31, 2012 and November 30, 2012; and

·

1.50:1 for each period of four fiscal quarters ending thereafter.


EBITDA for the quarters ended August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011 was approximately $196,000 and $676,000, respectively.


For the six months ended August 31, 2011, the Leverage Ratio was 1.46.1. Based on scheduled loan payments under the Credit Facility, the minimum EBITDA requirements for each of our fiscal year 2012 periods is as follows:


·

approximately $790,000 for the nine month period ended November 30, 2011;

·

approximately $1,100,000 for the twelve month period ended February 29, 2012; and

·

approximately $1,000,000 for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2012.


Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: The ratio of EBITDA to Fixed Charges (as defined in the Loan Agreement) must equal or exceed 1.25:1:


·

for the six month period ending August 31, 2011 and the nine month period ending November 30, 2011 (with partial year performance measures annualized); and

·

for each period of four fiscal quarters ending on and after February 28, 2012.


For the six months ended August 31, 2011, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 1.75:1.   Based upon the loan amortization schedule, we expect the Fixed Charges and the minimum EBITDA for each of the periods in fiscal 2012 to be as follows:


·

for the nine month period ended November 30, 2011 the Fixed Charges would be approximately $746,000 and therefore the minimum EBITDA would be approximately $986,000; and



31




·

for the twelve month periods ended February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2012 the Fixed Charges would be approximately $981,000 and $962,000, respectively and therefore the minimum EBITDA would be approximately $1,226,000 and $1,203,000, respectively.


Liquidity Ratio: Beginning on May 31, 2011, the ratio of cash plus accounts receivable plus availability under the line of credit to the sum of accounts payable plus accrued expenses must equal or exceed 1.50:1. The Liquidity Ratio as of August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011 was 2.30:1 and 2.59:1, respectively.


As of August 31, 2011 and May 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all such covenants.  


The Loan Agreement provides for events of default customary for credit facilities of this type, including but not limited to non payment, misrepresentation, breach of covenants and bankruptcy. Upon an event of default, the interest rate on all outstanding obligations may be increased and the Lender may accelerate payment of all outstanding loans. 


The Credit Facility is secured by all of our assets pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2011 between the Company and the Lender. As additional security for the Credit Facility, (i) the Subsidiary Guarantors have granted liens on all of their assets in favor of the Lender pursuant to a Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2011 between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lender and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2011 between Workgroup Technology Corporation and the Lender, and (ii) Joseph P. Mullaney has pledged all of his stock in the Company, as well as certain personal assets, in favor of the Lender pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2011 between Joseph Mullaney and the Lender. Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. based cash balances are maintained at Danversbank.


Greenleaf Subordinated Note


On March 8, 2011, the Company also entered into an agreement with Greenleaf, under which Greenleaf agreed to accept $2.75 million in cash and a $250,000 subordinated note (the “Greenleaf Note”) in complete settlement of its $10.6 million indebtedness. The Greenleaf Note is subordinated to the Credit Facility in accordance with a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, among the Company, the Lender and Greenleaf (the “Subordination Agreement”). Interest on the Greenleaf Note accrues at the annual rate of five percent. Accrued interest only is payable monthly commencing May 1, 2011. Principal must be paid from fifty percent of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Loan Agreement), commencing September 30, 2012. All principal plus unpaid accrued interest is due on the later of February 28, 2014 and the date on which all amounts due under the Credit Facility are paid in full. The Company’s obligations under the Greenleaf Note are (i) secured by liens on the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement dated March 25, 2009, between the Company and Greenleaf, as amended, (ii) secured by liens on the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Security Agreements dated August 26, 2010, between each Subsidiary Guarantor and Greenleaf, as amended, and (iii) guarantied by each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Guaranties dated August 26, 2010 by each Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Greenleaf, as amended. All liens securing the Greenleaf Note are expressly subordinated to the liens of the Lender pursuant to the Subordination Agreement.


We believe that the cash on hand together with anticipated cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital resource needs for the next year.


CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE


On July 20, 2010, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (“McGladrey”) acquired certain assets of Caturano and Company, Inc. (formerly Caturano and Company, P.C., the Company’s then independent registered public accounting firm (“Caturano”) and substantially all of the officers and employees of Caturano joined McGladrey.


On August 16, 2010, following the Company’s default on its debt, the Board of Directors authorized the filing of a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to marshal its resources towards dealing with the immediate liquidity problem. In addition, the Board of Directors opted to delay engaging an independent registered public accounting firm to perform quarterly reviews and annual audits until a clear path to resolving the liquidity problem was identified.



32




On January 24, 2011, in contemplation of completion of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company’s Audit Committee engaged McGladrey as the new independent registered public accounting firm to complete the audit for fiscal year 2010 and to review the quarterly results for the first two quarters of fiscal year 2011.  


The audit reports of Caturano on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2009 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the two most recent fiscal years ended May 31, 2009 and through January 24, 2011, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and Caturano on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Caturano, would have caused Caturano to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended May 31, 2009 and through the date of McGladrey’s engagement, the Company did not consult with McGladrey on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and McGladrey did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that McGladrey concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Director Independence


In determining whether the members of our board of directors and its committees are independent, we have elected to use the definition of “independence” set forth in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. After considering all relevant relationships and transactions, our board of directors, in consultation with legal counsel, has determined that Messrs. Cooper and Nelson are “independent” within the meaning of the applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Messrs. Mullaney and Anthonyson are not independent within the meaning of the applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Company has a separate standing Audit Committee and a separate standing Compensation Committee, each of which is comprised of the two independent directors, Messrs. Cooper and Nelson. The Company does not have a separate standing Nominating and Governance Committee. Instead, the full board of directors has the responsibility of selecting individuals to be nominated for election to the board of directors.

Narrative Compensation Disclosure


Messrs. Mullaney and Anthonyson were hired upon completion of the Recapitalization Transaction with an initial annual salary of $200,000 and $150,000, respectively. Subsequently, the Compensation Committee has recommended, and the Board of Directors has approved, the following arrangements:


Mr. Mullaney – effective June 1, 2011, an annual salary of $225,000 with a bonus opportunity of up to 50% of the annual salary. Performance goals for payment of bonuses are to be established by mutual agreement between Compensation Committee and Mr. Mullaney. In addition, Mr. Mullaney is entitled to one year’s compensation in the event his employment is terminated without cause.


Mr. Anthonyson – effective June 1, 2011, an annual salary of $175,000 with a bonus opportunity of up to 50% of the annual salary. Performance goals for payment of bonuses are to be based half on attainment of corporate goals and half on personal goals. In addition, Mr. Anthonyson is entitled to six months compensation in the event his employment is terminated without cause.


Between February 14 and March 11, 2011, Mr. Mullaney was paid $20,000 by the Company as a consultant to assist in completing the Recapitalization Transaction and to plan for the transition to a new management team and board.


Ms. McGuire – effective October 16, 2011, an annual salary of $100,000 with a bonus opportunity of up to 35% of annual salary, half based on corporate goals and the other half based on personal goals.  In addition, Ms. McGuire is entitled to four months annual salary in the event her employment is terminated without cause.  



35




Transaction Bonus


Upon completion of the Recapitalization Transaction, Mr. Croteau and Ms. McGuire each received a one-time transaction bonus of $350,000 and $190,000, respectively, directly from Greenleaf. Greenleaf agreed to these transaction bonuses in July 2010 when the Company defaulted on its debt facilities and sought various alternative solutions to remedy the default. The transaction bonuses served to secure the services of the management team during that period of uncertainty. Greenleaf also agreed to reimburse each of Mr. Croteau and Ms. McGuire for their medical and dental premiums for eighteen months should their employment or consulting relationship with the Company be terminated subsequent to the transaction and would cease upon acceptance of new employment. Mr. Croteau’s employment with the Company was terminated effective April 15, 2011.


Retirement Plan


We have a 401K retirement plan, for which all our employees are eligible, including the Named Executive Officers. We match employee contributions, which are vested immediately, up to 2% of the employee’s compensation.


Option Grants In The Last Fiscal Year


No Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) or options to purchase our stock were granted to the Named Executive Officers during fiscal years 2010 or 2011.

(1)

Messrs. Elenbaas, Tyler and Lake resigned from the Board of Directors on March 11, 2011 upon completion of the Recapitalization Transaction. Mr. Cooper was appointed to the Board of Directors on March 8, 2011 and reelected at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 24, 2011. Mr. Nelson was appointed to the Board of Directors effective March 11, 2011.

(2)

Directors who are compensated as full-time employees receive no additional compensation for service on our Board of Directors.  Effective March 11, 2011, each independent director who is not a full-time employee is paid an annual fee of $12,000 on a quarterly basis in arrears.

(3)

As of May 31, 2011, the non-employee directors and former directors did not hold any options.  For information regarding option grants since May 31, 2011, see the narrative below.


Directors were not paid any fees or other compensation for service as members of the Board of Directors during fiscal 2010. Pursuant to our 1994 Stock Option Plan, non-employee Directors were eligible to be granted non-qualified options to purchase shares of our common stock. The Board of Directors administers the 1994 Stock Option Plan. Stock options typically terminate upon a Director leaving his or her position for any reason other than death or disability. No option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from its date of grant. No new options could be granted under this Plan after 2004. Thus, no option awards were made in fiscal 2010.


With respect to the new Board of Directors, the Company has adopted the following compensation structure.  Each non-employee Director will receive an annual fee of $12,000 paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. In addition, in order to align their interests with those of the shareholders, each non-employee Director will be granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares (post-split) of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.  These options will vest monthly on a pro rata basis over each non-employee Director’s initial three year term as a Director. Directors Cooper and Nelson were each granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares on June 7, 2011.

SofTech, Inc. Equity Incentive Plans


2011 Equity Incentive Plan


The 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was approved by our shareholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting held on May 24, 2011. The 2011 Plan replaced our 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”), under which no new equity awards have been granted since 2004 and no new awards will be granted under the 1994 Plan in the future.  150,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan.  Additionally, any shares subject to any award under the 2011 Plan or the 1994 Plan that expires or is terminated unexercised or is forfeited will be available for awards under the 2011 Plan.


All employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company or any of its affiliates capable of contributing to the successful performance of the Company are eligible to be participants in the 2011 Plan. Based on the number of our current employees, directors and consultants, there are approximately 60 individuals who currently would be eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan, although we currently do not expect to make broad-based grants to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.  We may grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock equivalents and awards of shares of common stock that are not subject to restrictions or forfeiture under the 2011 Plan. We may not in any fiscal year grant to any participant stock options, SARs or other awards with respect to which performance goals apply covering more than 50,000 shares.


The 2011 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors composed of two or more members who are independent from Company management (the “Committee”). The Committee has the authority to adopt administrative rules and practices governing the operation of the 2011 Plan and to interpret its provisions. The Committee may, subject to applicable law, delegate to one or more of our executive officers the power to make awards to participants who are not executive officers or Directors, subject to a maximum number of shares fixed by the Committee. The Board may at any time also take any such action.


Except as may be limited by the 2011 Plan or applicable law, the Committee selects participants to receive awards and determines the terms and conditions of each award, including the number of shares of common stock subject to awards, the price, if any, a participant pays to receive or exercise an award, the time or times when awards vest or may be exercised, settled or forfeited, any performance goals, restrictions or other conditions to vesting, exercise, or settlement of awards, and the effect on awards of the disability, death, or termination of service of participants. Awards may be made to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States on terms the Committee deems appropriate.


Upon an equity restructuring or other corporate transaction that affects the common stock such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits intended to be provided by the 2011 Plan, the Committee shall equitably adjust any or all of the number and kind of shares in respect of which awards may be made under the 2011 Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards, the exercise price with respect to any of the foregoing, and the limit on individual grants. The Committee may act to preserve the participants’ rights in the event of a change in control of the Company as the Committee may consider equitable to participants and in the best interests of the Company, including without limitation: accelerating any time period relating to the vesting, exercise, or settlement of awards, providing for payment to participants of cash or other property with a fair market value equal to the amount that would have been received upon the vesting, exercise, or settlement of awards in connection with the change in control, adjusting the terms of awards in a manner determined by the Committee to reflect the change in control, causing awards to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity, or terminating awards.


We may not, without shareholder approval, amend any outstanding option or SAR to reduce the exercise price or replace it with a new award exercisable for common stock at a lower exercise price.  Subject to the prohibition on repricing, the Committee may not amend, modify or terminate any outstanding award for which the respective participant’s consent would be required unless the terms of the award permit such action, the Committee determines that such action is required by law, or the Committee determines that the action would not materially and adversely affect the participant. The Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2011 Plan, subject to any shareholder approval it deems necessary or appropriate.


As of the date of this prospectus, we have granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock under the 2011 Plan. These options were granted to our two non-employee directors as part of our director compensation policy. For more information, see “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION – Director Compensation” above.



37




1994 Stock Option Plan


The Company also has a 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”). No new options could be granted under the 1994 Plan after fiscal year 2004, but options granted prior to that time have continued to vest. As of May 31, 2011, we had outstanding fully-vested options to purchase an aggregate of 1,350 shares of common stock that were granted under the 1994 Plan.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


Transactions with Greenleaf


Between 1998 and 2011 the Company entered into various financing arrangements with Greenleaf. William D. Johnston, who served as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors from 1996 until his resignation in August 2010, is the President and sole principal of Greenleaf Companies, which owns Greenleaf.  In addition to Mr. Johnston, the SofTech Board of Directors over the previous ten years was composed primarily of individuals affiliated with Greenleaf.  Michael D. Elliston, who served as a Director of the Company from 2007 until his resignation in August 2010, is Greenleaf’s Chief Financial Officer.  Ronald A. Elenbaas, who served as a Director of the Company from 1996 until his resignation in March 2011, is Greenleaf Hospitality Group’s President and CEO. Mr. Elenbaas is a partner with Mr. Johnston in multiple businesses and investments other than SofTech and Greenleaf.   Frederick A. Lake, who served as a Director of the Company from 2000 until his resignation in March 2011, is a partner at the Michigan law firm of Lake, Waldorf & Schau, PLC, which performs professional services for Greenleaf Companies.


Messrs. Johnston and Elliston resigned from the Board of Directors in August 2010 following the Company’s default on the Greenleaf debt. Messrs. Elenbaas and Lake served through the March 2011 Recapitalization Transaction and resigned immediately thereafter.


Prior to the Recapitalization Transaction, Timothy L. Tyler served as a Director of the Company from 1996 until his resignation in March 2011.


Prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction in March 2011, Greenleaf owned approximately 44.5% of our outstanding common stock and was our sole debt provider. We had a term loan and a revolving line of credit with Greenleaf, both of which were extinguished in the Recapitalization Transaction. The following table summarizes the principal and interest payments made by the Company to Greenleaf by fiscal year from fiscal 2009 through the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction on March 11, 2011, when the indebtedness was extinguished:

During fiscal years 2009 through the extinguishment of the Greenleaf debt facilities in March 2011, the Company and Greenleaf entered into the following amendments to the debt facilities:


·

In March 2009 the debt facilities were amended and restated to grant Greenleaf a security interest in all of the Company’s assets; and

·

In October 2009 the line of credit was amended to increase the maximum available from $3 million to $3.5 million.


In June 2010, we failed to make the scheduled loan payments in accordance with the Greenleaf loan agreements, which triggered a default on our borrowings. Greenleaf did not immediately enforce any of its remedies under the Greenleaf loan agreements and the parties began to negotiate a forbearance agreement which would allow the Company to continue to operate.  In July 2010, Greenleaf agreed to pay transaction bonuses to Mr. Croteau and Ms. McGuire upon completion of a successful transaction, which are described under “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION – Transaction Bonus” on page 36.


In August 2010, we entered into a Forbearance Agreement among the Company, our wholly owned subsidiaries, Workgroup Technology Corporation and Information Decisions Incorporated, and Greenleaf (the “Forbearance Agreement”).  In the Forbearance Agreement, Greenleaf agreed not to enforce its rights under the Greenleaf loan agreements during the term of the Forbearance Agreement, which expired on October 1, 2010.  Following the expiration of the Forbearance Agreement, no final actions were taken by Greenleaf to collect on the monies due them by foreclosing on the collateral.

In March 2011, in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, we entered into a debt forgiveness agreement with Greenleaf whereby Greenleaf agreed to accept $2.75 million in cash and a $250,000 subordinated note in complete settlement of the $10.6 million indebtedness under the Greenleaf debt facilities. With respect to the $250,000 subordinated note, the largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding during fiscal 2011 was approximately $10.2 million and the amount outstanding as of June 8, 2011 was $250,000.  We did not make principal payments during fiscal 2011 other than the $2.75 million settlement, the amount of interest paid during fiscal 2011 was $14,303, and $448,188 of interest payable on the indebtedness which had accrued at a rate of 5.5% was forgiven as part of the debt forgiveness agreement with Greenleaf. The debt forgiveness agreement also included a general release from the Company to Greenleaf with respect to any and all liabilities related to the Greenleaf debt facilities. For more information regarding the Greenleaf subordinated note, see “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Greenleaf Subordinated Note” beginning on page 29.


In March 2011, we also entered into a shareholder’s agreement with Greenleaf, pursuant to which Greenleaf agreed to vote all of its or its affiliates’ shares (including any shares subsequently acquired by Greenleaf) in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors for a three year period ending on March 8, 2014. Additionally, in the event Greenleaf wishes to sell more than 75,000 shares (post-split) of the Company’s common stock, the Company has the right to buy such shares on the same terms as under the proposed transaction.  We also retained the right to repurchase up to 202,721 shares (4,054,420 shares pre-split) held by Greenleaf at the purchase price of $24.66 per share ($1.233 per share pre-split), which right survives the expiration of the shareholder’s agreement indefinitely.


Transaction with Certain Beneficial Owners and Directors


As part of the Recapitalization Transaction in March 2011, we raised approximately $422,000 in cash from the issuance of 384,588 shares (7,691,764 shares pre-split) of common stock in a private placement to investors. Among the investors were: Joseph P. Mullaney, who was appointed as our President and Chief Executive Officer and elected as a member of our board of directors upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction; Robert B. Anthonyson, who was appointed as our Vice President of Business Development and elected as a member of our board of directors upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction; J. Phillip Cooper, who was elected as a member of our board of directors upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction; and Chandra Singh, who owned approximately 10.9% of our outstanding common stock prior to the Recapitalization Transaction and 12.8% after consummation of the transaction.


In connection with the private placement, we also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Shareholders, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, to cover the resale of the 384,588 shares of common stock (7,691,764 shares pre-split) issued in the private placement, within 90 calendar days after the closing of the private placement. We agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement, of which the prospectus is a part, declared effective as promptly as reasonable possible. We also agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the shares have been sold by the Selling Shareholders and (ii) the date that all the shares may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.


The Registration Rights Agreement also grants piggyback registration rights to the Selling Shareholders if we propose to register any of our equity securities under the Securities Act (other than on a registration statement on Form S-8 or S-4), whether for our own account or for the account of another person.


In March 2011, the Company paid a fee of $80,000 to Monadnock Advisors, LLC for advisory services provided in connection with identifying and closing on the Credit Facility with One Conant Capital in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction. Hank Nelson, a member of our board of directors, is the founder and principal of Monadnock Advisors, LLC.


We agreed in the Registration Rights Agreement to pay for all expenses, including the reasonable legal expenses of one counsel to the Selling Shareholders (not to exceed $25,000), relating to the registration of any shares thereunder.

Transactions with Joseph P. Mullaney


Mr. Mullaney originally joined the Company in 1990 as our Assistant Controller.  Mr. Mullaney held numerous positions within the Company before departing in December 2006, including serving as our President and Chief Executive Officer from June 2001 until his departure in December 2006. Mr. Mullaney rejoined the Company as our President and Chief Executive in connection with the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction in March 2011.


In May 1998, while serving as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mullaney was extended a non-interest bearing note in the amount of $134,000 as an inducement to exercise his vested options prior to their expiration date. This note currently remains outstanding and is not required to be repaid by Mr. Mullaney unless and until Mr. Mullaney sells any of the 3,635 shares he currently owns related to that exercise.


From February 2008 to October 2008, Mr. Mullaney was engaged by Greenleaf to perform various consulting services, related to the Company, at a monthly rate of $10,000. Under this arrangement, Mr. Mullaney was paid a total of $90,000 by Greenleaf.


In September 2009, Mr. Mullaney was hired by Greenleaf to assist Greenleaf in its effort to sell its debt and equity position in the Company to potential buyers, several of which were ultimately identified by Mr. Mullaney. Mr. Mullaney had identified three potential groups that had expressed interest in pursuing a transaction.  Greenleaf agreed to pay Mr. Mullaney a fee of either 3% or 5% of the value received by Greenleaf upon completion of a transaction with one of the three identified buyers if a transaction was completed. The percentage to be paid was to be based upon the level of involvement Mr. Mullaney had in closing the transaction, with the potential for such fees to be payable upon the completion of a transaction with a party other than those identified in the Advisory Agreement (which did not identify the investors in the eventual Recapitalization Transaction). Greenleaf was to be responsible for leading the negotiations and the due diligence with Mr. Mullaney providing support as reasonably requested by them.  In recognition of the Recapitalization Transaction, on July 25, 2011, Mr. Mullaney was paid $250,000 by Greenleaf in full and final satisfaction for his services provided under the advisory agreement. The $250,000 was remitted directly to One Conant Capital as partial collateral under the Company’s debt facilities.


For the four week period ended March 11, 2011, the Company paid Mr. Mullaney $5,000 per week as a consultant to assist the Company’s management team in completing numerous tasks leading up to the Recapitalization Transaction, including transition planning.


In connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, Mr. Mullaney personally guaranteed the Company’s performance under the $3.2 million Credit Facility with the Lender and assigned certain personal assets as collateral.


Transactions with Frederick A. Lake


Frederick A. Lake, a partner at the Michigan law firm of Lake, Waldorf & Schau, PLC, served on our board of directors from 2000 until March 11, 2011, at which time he resigned in connection with the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction. Between August 2010 and February 2011, the Company paid Mr. Lake approximately $74,000 for professional services rendered in connection with his evaluation of various alternatives for resolving the Greenleaf debt default.


Transaction with Act3 Technologies, LLC


On November 1, 2011 the Company entered into an agreement with Act3 Technologies, LLC (“Act3”) pursuant to which it obtained the exclusive right to develop, commercialize and monetize certain intellectual property owned by Act3 relating to internet marketing software (the “Act3 IP”). The Company obtained these rights solely in exchange for its agreement to certain sharing of the proceeds that may be derived with Act3 if the Company is successful in commercializing the Act3 IP, provided that the Company first recover any development costs it may have incurred up to specified levels. The agreement does not obligate the Company to undertake any level of effort or expenditure in this regard and the decision whether to seek to commercialize the Act3 IP is solely in the Company’s discretion. The Company also has a right of first refusal to purchase Act3 through December 31, 2050. Joseph Mullaney, Robert Anthonyson and J. Phillip Cooper, each a member of our board of directors, own approximately 10%, 10%, and 3%, respectively, of the equity interests in Act3.

Given our cessation of public reporting, you cannot rely on these reports or any of our other previously filed reports for current information about the Company.

Following the effective date of the registration statement containing this prospectus, federal securities laws will again require us to file information with the SEC concerning our business and operations.  Accordingly, we will file annual, quarterly, and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You can read and copy this information at the Public Reference Room maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. You may obtain additional information about the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding companies that file information electronically with the SEC.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

SofTech, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SofTech, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


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


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SofTech, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(“IDI”), Workgroup Technology Corporation (“WTC”), SofTech, GmbH and SofTech, Srl. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION


In March 2011, a transaction was completed (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) in which the Company:


·

issued an aggregate of 384,588 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $421,765, in a private placement transaction to eight investors;

·

consummated a $2.9 million term loan and a $300,000 line of credit from One Conant Capital, LLC, a subsidiary of Danversbank; and

(“Greenleaf”), the Company’s sole debt provider and largest shareholder at the time, whereby Greenleaf accepted $2,750,000 in cash and a $250,000 subordinated note in complete settlement of the $10.6 million of indebtedness then outstanding under the financing agreements with Greenleaf.


Upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the board of directors and chief executive officer were replaced.


REVERSE STOCK SPLIT


In May 2011, the Company‘s shareholders approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of outstanding shares of common stock which became effective June 7, 2011. All references to shares in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including but not limited to, number of shares and per share amounts, have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split retrospectively. Previously awarded options to purchase shares of common stock have also been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The par value of our common stock remained at $.10, and the total number of shares authorized for issuance under our articles of organization remained at 20,000,000.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


As described in Note J below, in May 2011 the Company sold its AMT product line. Accordingly, the results of the AMT product line are being presented as discontinued operations. The assets held for sale and the liabilities assumed by the purchaser are presented as current assets of discontinued operations, non-current assets of discontinued operations and current liabilities of discontinued operations. The operating results of the AMT product line have been shown net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as income from discontinued operations and gain on disposal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


USE OF ESTIMATES


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates included in the financial statements pertain to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the valuation of long term assets including goodwill, intangibles and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash at certain financial institutions in amounts that at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.  Cash held in foreign bank accounts at May 31, 2011 totaled $357,000. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents.


CONCENTRATION OF RISK


The Company believes that the loss of one or more of our largest customers could have a material adverse effect on the business. During fiscal years 2011 and 2010, no customer exceeded ten percent of revenue. The Company generally does not require collateral on credit sales. Management evaluates the creditworthiness of customers prior to delivery of products and services and provides allowances at levels estimated to be adequate to cover any potentially uncollectible accounts. Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified. The changes in the accounts receivable reserve are as follows (in thousands):

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT


Property and equipment is stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:


Data Processing Equipment

2-5 years

Office furniture

5-10 years

Automobiles

4-6 years


Depreciation expense, including amortization of assets under capital lease, was approximately $37,000 and $61,000, for fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; betterments are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss on disposal is credited or charged to income.



F-8






DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS


The Company capitalizes the direct costs associated with entering into debt agreements and amortizes those costs over the life of the debt agreement.  During fiscal 2011, the Company incurred total costs of approximately $330,000 in connection with entering into the debt agreement with Danversbank and its subsidiary, One Conant Capital, LLC.  These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the three year life of the loan.  Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs for fiscal 2011 were approximately $18,000.


INCOME TAXES


The provision for income taxes is based on the earnings or losses reported in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


In July, 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken. ASC 740 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. ASC 740 became effective as of January 1, 2007 and the Company believes that there are no uncertain tax positions or liabilities for interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2011. The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes. In accordance with the applicable statute of limitations, the Company’s tax returns could be audited by the Internal Revenue Service and various states for the fiscal years ended 2008 to 2010.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


Revenue from software license sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has been made, and a fixed fee and collectability has been determined. The Company does not provide for a right of return. For multiple element arrangements, total fees are allocated to each of the undelivered elements based upon vendor specific objective evidence of their fair values, with the residual recognized as revenue for the delivered elements.  Revenue from customer maintenance support agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreements, typically one year. Revenue from engineering, consulting and training services is recognized as those services are rendered using a proportional performance model.


CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT


The Company accounts for its software development costs in accordance with ASC 985, Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed.  Accordingly, the Company capitalizes certain costs incurred to internally develop and/or purchase software that it then licenses to customers. Capitalization of internally developed software begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Purchased software is recorded at cost. The Company evaluates the realizability of the assets and the related periods of amortization on a regular basis. Such costs are amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. The Company did not capitalize any internally developed software during the twelve month periods ended May 31, 2011 and 2010. Substantially all of the recorded balance represents software acquired from third parties. The capitalized software was fully amortized as of May 31, 2010. Amortization expense related to capitalized software costs for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2010 was $113,000.


ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL


The Company accounts for goodwill pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This requires that goodwill be reviewed annually, or more frequently as a result of an event or change in circumstances, for possible impairment with impaired assets written down to fair value. Additionally, existing goodwill and intangible assets must be assessed and classified within the statement’s criteria.



F-9






As of May 31, 2011, the Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of the underlying assets and liabilities of its single reporting unit. The Company determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, therefore no impairment existed as of the testing date. The Company concluded that no facts or circumstances arose during the fiscal year 2011 to warrant an interim impairment test.


On May 24, 2011, the Company sold its AMT product line (see Note J).  The Company allocated a portion of its goodwill to the AMT product line based on its fair value compared to the fair value of the total Company.  This allocation of goodwill was included in the derivation of the gain on the disposal of discontinued operations.


LONG-LIVED ASSETS


The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of all intangible and other long-lived assets. If indicators of impairment exist, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets over their estimated economic life to the related carrying value of those assets to determine if the assets are impaired. If the carrying value of the asset is greater than the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the assets would be decreased to their fair value through a charge to operations. As of May 31, 2011, the Company does not have any long-lived assets it considers to be impaired.


FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and short and long term debt. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts at May 31, 2011.

The Company sells its products to a wide variety of customers in numerous industries. A large portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from customers with which the Company has an existing relationship and established credit history. For new customers for whom the Company does not have an established credit history, the Company performs evaluations of the customer’s credit worthiness prior to accepting an order. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. The Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts was $29,000 at May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010.


FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION


The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations (Germany, and Italy) is the Euro. As a result, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translation of such financial statements are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency gains and losses arising from transactions were included in operations in fiscal year 2011 and 2010.  In fiscal year 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a net (gain) loss from foreign currency related transactions of approximately ($65,000) and $71,000, respectively, to Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)


Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). To date, the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) items includes only foreign translation adjustments.  Comprehensive income (loss) has been included in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for all periods.


NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE


Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share from continuing operations and from discontinued operations are computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common and equivalent dilutive common shares outstanding.  For periods in which losses are reported potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect is antidilutive.



F-10






The following table details the derivation of weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) from continuing operations and from discontinued operations for each period:

For the fiscal years ending May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010, 1,350 and 1,700 options, respectively, to purchase common shares were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the above calculation.


STOCK BASED COMPENSATION


Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  The Company estimated the fair value of each share-based award using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.


The Company’s 1994 Stock Option Plan provided for the granting of stock options at an exercise price not less than fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant and with vesting schedules as determined by the Board of Directors. No new options could be granted under the Plan after fiscal year 2004 and all stock options had vested prior to May 31, 2009.  In May 2011, the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders, pursuant to which 150,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance.  Additionally, any shares subject to any award under the 2011 Plan or the 1994 Plan that expires or is terminated unexercised or is forfeited will be available for awards under the 2011 Plan. The Company may grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock equivalents and awards of shares of common stock that are not subject to restrictions or forfeiture under the 2011 Plan.  As of May 31, 2011, no awards were made under the 2011 Plan.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


From fiscal 1998 through the Recapitalization Transaction, Greenleaf was the Company’s sole external source of debt capital. Through a series of conversions of debt to equity along with open market purchases Greenleaf had acquired beneficial ownership of approximately 44% of the Company common shares.


Immediately prior to the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company was indebted to Greenleaf for approximately $10.6 million including approximately $441,000 of interest expense accrued during fiscal year 2011 but not paid. Greenleaf accepted a cash payment of $2,750,000 and a subordinated note in the amount of $250,000 in full satisfaction of the $10.6 million of indebtedness.


The Company recorded approximately $7.6 million of debt forgiveness as an increase to Shareholders’ Equity and a reduction in debt and accrued interest expense given Greenleaf’s position as a significant shareholder.


In addition, subsequent to the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction, Greenleaf paid the Chief Financial Officer and the former Chief Executive Officer transaction bonuses totaling $540,000 for assisting in the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction. Due to Greenleaf’s ownership position, we recorded these payments as fiscal year 2011 expenses and as an additional equity investment by Greenleaf.


G.

DEBT


ONE CONANT CAPITAL


The Company entered into a $3.2 million credit facility with One Conant Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Danversbank, as lender (the “Lender”), consisting of a $2.9 million term loan and a $300,000 revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”).  The Credit Facility is provided pursuant to a Loan, Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, between the Company and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”).  The Credit Facility is guaranteed by Joseph Mullaney, our President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, by Mr. Mullaney in favor of the Lender, under which Mr. Mullaney has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the performance of the Company under the Credit Facility and by the Company’s subsidiaries, Information Decisions, Incorporated and Workgroup Technology Corporation (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, by the Subsidiary Guarantors in favor of the Lender, under which the Subsidiary Guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the performance of the Company under the Credit Facility.  As of May 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $2.7 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.


Each of the term loan and the revolving line of credit has a three year term and matures on February 28, 2014.  Amounts borrowed under each of the term loan and the revolving line of credit bear interest at the annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus three percent, (ii) LIBOR plus five and one half percent, and (iii) ten percent, per annum.  If the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) is 1.5:1.0 or less for two consecutive fiscal quarters, the minimum interest rate is reduced to eight percent.  In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly fee of 1.5% of revenue throughout the term of the Credit Facility.


Under the term loan, commencing March 31, 2011 and continuing for 35 months, the Company must pay the Lender monthly principal installments in the aggregate amount of $60,000 per month.  On each of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2013, the Company must pre-pay unpaid principal, in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Loan Agreement) from the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year.  The Company must make a final balloon payment of all unpaid principal and interest on the February 28, 2014 maturity date.


The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a number of restrictive loan covenants, which restrict the Company’s ability to take any of the following actions, among others, without prior written consent of the Lender: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay or declare dividends; (iii) enter into a business substantially different from existing operations; (iv) issue or authorize any additional or new equity that will result in a change of control; and (v) take any corporate action outside the ordinary course of business.



F-14






The Loan Agreement also includes certain financial covenants measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter throughout the term of the Credit Facility.


The Loan Agreement provides for events of default customary for credit facilities of this type, including but not limited to non payment, misrepresentation, breach of covenants and bankruptcy.  Upon an event of default, the interest rate on all outstanding obligations may be increased and the Lender may accelerate payment of all outstanding loans. 


The Credit Facility is secured by all of our assets pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2011 between the Company and the Lender.  As additional security for the Credit Facility, (i) the Subsidiary Guarantors have granted liens on all of their assets in favor of the Lender pursuant to a Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2011 between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lender and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2011 between Workgroup Technology Corporation and the Lender, and (ii) Joseph P. Mullaney has pledged all of his stock in the Company, as well as certain personal assets, in favor of the Lender pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2011 between Joseph Mullaney and the Lender.  Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. based cash balances are maintained at Danversbank.


GREENLEAF SUBORDINATED NOTE


On March 8, 2011, the Company also entered into an agreement with Greenleaf, under which Greenleaf agreed to accept $2.75 million in cash and a $250,000 subordinated note (the “Greenleaf Note”) in complete settlement of its $10.6 million indebtedness. The Greenleaf Note is subordinated to the Credit Facility in accordance with a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, among the Company, the Lender and Greenleaf (the “Subordination Agreement”).   Interest on the Greenleaf Note accrues at the annual rate of five percent.  Accrued interest only is payable monthly commencing May 1, 2011.  Principal must be paid from fifty percent of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Loan Agreement), commencing September 30, 2012.  All principal plus unpaid accrued interest is due on the later of February 28, 2014 and the date on which all amounts due under the Credit Facility are paid in full.  The Company’s obligations under the Greenleaf Note are (i) secured by liens on the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement dated March 25, 2009, between the Company and Greenleaf, as amended, (ii) secured by liens on the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Security Agreements dated August 26, 2010, between each Subsidiary Guarantor and Greenleaf, as amended, and (iii) guarantied by each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Guaranties dated August 26, 2010 by each Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Greenleaf, as amended.  All liens securing the Greenleaf Note are expressly subordinated to the liens of the Lender pursuant to the Subordination Agreement.

NOTE RECEIVABLE


Joseph Mullaney, the Company’s CEO, was extended a non-interest bearing note in the amount of $134,000 related to a stock transaction in May 1998. The note is partially secured by the Company stock acquired in that transaction. The Company has accounted for the note as a fixed arrangement.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


In May 2011, the Company sold its AMT product line in exchange for $250,000 in cash and a note receivable for $162,500. The note receivable accrues interest at a rate of 1% per month and is payable on a monthly basis from 75% of the product lines future earnings.


In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows present the operating results and the assets and liabilities of AMT as discontinued operations. Following completion of the Recapitalization Transaction in March 2011, the new management team determined that the AMT product line was not a strategic component of the ongoing business. AMT’s technologies are aimed directly at small Tool & Die shops located primarily in Michigan and Indiana performing services for the automotive industry. We entered into direct negotiations with the long tenured manager of that product line that resulted in the completion of the sale on May 24, 2011.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet and through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. During that period the Company had the following disclosable events.


On June 9, 2011, the Company filed a registration document with SEC for the shares issued in a private placement as part of the Recapitalization Transaction.  When that document is deemed effective by the SEC the Company will be required to resume filing files periodic reports or other reports with the SEC.


On May 24, 2011 the Company’s shareholders approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of common stock, which was effective on June 7, 2011.  All references to shares in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including but not limited to, number of shares and per share amounts, have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split retrospectively.  Previously awarded options to purchase our shares of common stock have also been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The par value of our common stock remained at $.10, and the total number of shares authorized for issuance under our articles of organization remained at 20,000,000.

SOFTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


SofTech, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in Massachusetts on June 10, 1969. The Company is engaged in the development, marketing, distribution and support of computer software solutions that serve the Product Lifecycle Management (“PLM”) industry. These solutions include software technology offerings for computer aided design as well as product data/lifecycle management and collaboration technologies, all of which fit under the broadly defined PLM industry. The Company’s operations are organized geographically with offices in the U.S. and European sales and customer support offices in Germany and Italy. The Company also has resellers in Asia and Europe.


The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of SofTech, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Information Decisions, Inc. (“IDI”), Workgroup Technology Corporation (“WTC”), SofTech, GmbH and SofTech, Srl. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION


In March 2011, a transaction was completed (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) in which the Company:


·

issued an aggregate of 384,588 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $421,765, in a private placement transaction to eight investors;

·

consummated a $2.9 million term loan and a $300,000 line of credit from One Conant Capital, LLC, a subsidiary of Danversbank; and

·

consummated an agreement with Greenleaf Capital, Inc. (“Greenleaf”), the Company’s sole debt provider and largest shareholder at the time, whereby Greenleaf accepted $2,750,000 in cash and a $250,000 subordinated note in complete settlement of the $10.6 million of indebtedness then outstanding under the financing agreements with Greenleaf.


Upon consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the board of directors and chief executive officer were replaced.


REVERSE STOCK SPLIT


In May 2011, the Company‘s shareholders approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of outstanding shares of common stock which became effective June 7, 2011. All references to shares in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including but not limited to, number of shares and per share amounts, have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split retrospectively. Previously awarded options to purchase shares of common stock have also been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The par value of our common stock remained at $.10, and the total number of shares authorized for issuance under our articles of organization remained at 20,000,000.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


As described in Note J below, in May 2011 the Company sold its AMT product line. Accordingly, the results of the AMT product line are being presented as discontinued operations. The operating results of the AMT product line have been shown net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as income from discontinued operations and gain on disposal.

B.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


USE OF ESTIMATES


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates included in the financial statements pertain to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the valuation of long term assets including goodwill, intangibles and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


Revenue from software license sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has been made, and a fixed fee and collectability has been determined. The Company does not provide for a right of return. For multiple element arrangements, total fees are allocated to each of the undelivered elements based upon vendor specific objective evidence of their fair values, with the residual recognized as revenue for the delivered elements.  Revenue from customer maintenance support agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreements, typically one year. Revenue from engineering, consulting and training services is recognized as those services are rendered using a proportional performance model.


STOCK BASED COMPENSATION


Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  The Company estimated the fair value of each share-based award using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.


The Company’s 1994 Stock Option Plan provided for the granting of stock options at an exercise price not less than fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant and with vesting schedules as determined by the Board of Directors. No new options could be granted under the Plan after fiscal year 2004 and all stock options had vested prior to May 31, 2009.  In May 2011, the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders, pursuant to which 150,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance.  Additionally, any shares subject to any award under the 2011 Plan or the 1994 Plan that expires or is terminated unexercised or is forfeited will be available for awards under the 2011 Plan. The Company may grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock equivalents and awards of shares of common stock that are not subject to restrictions or forfeiture under the 2011 Plan.  During the three month period ending August 31, 2011, options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock were granted to non-employee board members, with an exercise price of $2.40 per share.

The Company determined the volatility for options granted during the three months ended August 31, 2011 using the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life of options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method as prescribed in ASC 718 Compensation, Stock Compensation. The expected life represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company has not paid, and does not anticipate paying, cash dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.


For the three month period ended August 31, 2011, the company expensed approximately $2,000 of stock-based compensation.  The weighted-average fair value of each option granted in the three month period ended August 31, 2011 is estimated as $2.35 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:


Expected life

5.77 years

Assumed annual dividend growth rate

0%

Expected volatility

188%

Risk free interest rate

1.86%


FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION


The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations (Germany, and Italy) is the Euro. As a result, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translation of such financial statements are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency gains and losses arising from transactions were included in operations in the three month periods August 31, 2011 and 2010.  For the three month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a net gain from foreign currency related transactions of approximately $17,000 and $11,000, respectively, to Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


INCOME TAXES


The provision for income taxes is based on the earnings or losses reported in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.



F-23






In July, 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken. ASC 740 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. ASC 740 became effective as of January 1, 2007 and the Company believes that there are no uncertain tax positions or liabilities for interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of June 1, 2007 and August 31, 2011. The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes. In accordance with the applicable statute of limitations, the Company’s tax returns could be audited by the Internal Revenue Service and various states for the fiscal years ended 2008 to 2010.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE


Basic and diluted net income per share from continuing operations and from discontinued operations are computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common and equivalent dilutive common shares outstanding.  For periods in which losses are reported potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect is antidilutive.


The following table details the derivation of weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income from continuing operations and from discontinued operations for each period:

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


In May 2011, the Company sold its AMT product line in exchange for $250,000 in cash and a note receivable for $162,500. The note receivable accrues interest at a rate of 1% per month and is payable on a monthly basis from 75% of the product lines future earnings.


In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows present the operating results and the assets and liabilities of AMT as discontinued operations. Following completion of the Recapitalization Transaction in March 2011, the new management team determined that the AMT product line was not a strategic component of the ongoing business. AMT’s technologies are aimed directly at small Tool & Die shops located primarily in Michigan and Indiana performing services for the automotive industry. We entered into direct negotiations with the long tenured manager of that product line that resulted in the completion of the sale on May 24, 2011.

From fiscal 1998 through the Recapitalization Transaction, Greenleaf was the Company’s sole external source of debt capital. Through a series of conversions of debt to equity along with open market purchases Greenleaf had acquired beneficial ownership of approximately 44% of the Company common shares. In August 2010, the Company borrowed an additional $150,000 from Greenleaf increasing its debt balance on August 31, 2010, to $10 million.  During the three months ended August 31, 2010, the Company incurred $121,000 of interest expense on the Greenleaf debt that was ultimately forgiven as part of the Recapitalization Transaction.


Immediately prior to the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company was indebted to Greenleaf for approximately $10.6 million including approximately $441,000 of interest expense accrued during fiscal year 2011 but not paid. Greenleaf accepted a cash payment of $2,750,000 and a subordinated note in the amount of $250,000 in full satisfaction of the $10.6 million of indebtedness.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet and through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. During that period the Company had the following disclosable events.


On November 1, 2011 the Company entered into an agreement with Act3 Technologies, LLC (“Act3”) pursuant to which it obtained the exclusive right to develop, commercialize and monetize certain intellectual property owned by Act3 relating to internet marketing software (the “Act3 IP”). The Company obtained these rights solely in exchange for its agreement to certain sharing of the proceeds that may be derived with Act3 if the Company is successful in commercializing the Act3 IP, provided that the Company first recover any development costs it may have incurred up to specified levels. The agreement does not obligate the Company to undertake any level of effort or expenditure in this regard and the decision whether to seek to commercialize the Act3 IP is solely in the Company’s discretion. The Company also has a right of first refusal to purchase Act3 through December 31, 2050. Joseph Mullaney, Robert Anthonyson and J. Phillip Cooper, each a member of our board of directors, own approximately 10%, 10%, and 3%, respectively, of the equity interests in Act3.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.


Section 8.51 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”), under which the Registrant is governed, provides that a corporation may indemnify a director who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if he conducted himself in good faith and he reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful or he engaged in conduct for which he shall not be liable under a provision of the articles of organization.  Section 8.51 also permits a corporation to indemnify a director for conduct for which such individual is or would be exculpated under the corporation’s articles of organization, whether or not the director satisfied a particular standard of conduct.  Section 8.52 of the MBCA requires corporations to indemnify any director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.


Section 8.53 of the MBCA provides that, before the final disposition of a proceeding, a corporation may advance funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is party to such proceeding because he is a director if he delivers to the corporation (a) a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the relevant standard of good faith described in Section 8.51 of the MBCA or that the proceeding involves conduct for which liability has been eliminated pursuant to Section 2.02 of the MBCA and (b) a written undertaking with an unlimited general obligation of the director to repay any funds advanced if he is not entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 8.52 of the MBCA and it is ultimately determined, under Section 8.54 or Section 8.55 of the MBCA that he does not meet the relevant standard of conduct described in Section 8.51.


Section 8.56 of the MBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he is an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director, and, if he is an officer but not a director, to such further extent as may be provided by the articles of organization, the by-laws, a resolution of the board of directors or contract, except for liability arising out of acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law.  This broader permissible indemnification for officers also is available for a director who is an officer if the individual becomes party to a proceeding on the basis of an act or omission solely as an officer.  Section 8.56 of the MBCA also provides that an officer of the corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 8.52 of the MBCA, and that the officer may apply to a court for indemnification or an advance for expenses, in each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification or advance under those provisions.  


Section 2.02 of the MBCA provides that the articles of organization of a corporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability; provided, however, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for improper distributions under Sections 6.40 of the MBCA or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.



II-1






On October 14, 1987, the shareholders of the Registrant approved an amendment to the Registrant’s articles of organization, as amended. The amendment to the articles of organization, as amended, which was filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 3, 1987, is as follows:


Article 6C.  Limitation of Liability of Directors.  No director of this Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability; provided, however, that this Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any beach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 61 or 62 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, or (iv) with respect to any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.


The provisions of this Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director of this Corporation for any act or omission occurring prior to the date on which this Article became effective. No amendment or repeal of this Article shall adversely affect the rights and protection afforded to a director of this Corporation under this Article for acts of omissions occurring while this Article is in effect.


If the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law is subsequently amended to further eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors or to authorize corporate action to further eliminate or limit such liability, then the liability of the directors of this Corporation shall, without further action of the Board of Directors or the shareholders of this Corporation, be eliminated or limited to the extent permitted by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law as so amended.”


The By-laws of the Registrant provide for indemnification of officers and directors as follows:


“9.     Indemnification.  The corporation shall indemnify each person (and his heirs, executors, administrators, or other legal representatives) who is, or shall have been, a Director or officer of the corporation or any person who is serving, or shall have served, at the request of the corporation as a Director or officer of another organization in which the corporation has an interest against all liabilities and expenses, including judgments, fines, penalties and attorneys’ fees and all amounts paid, other than to the corporation or such other organization, except in relation to matters as to which any such Director, officer, or person shall be finally adjudged, other than by consent, in such actions, suit or proceeding (a) not to have acted in good faith or (b) to have been liable for negligence or misconduct, in the performance of his duty as such Director or officer; provided, however, that indemnity shall not be made with respect to any such amounts paid in compromise or settlement or by consent, unless the Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith that the Director, officer or person making such compromise, settlement, or consent either acted in good faith or was not liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty as such Director or officer in connection with the matter or matters out of which such compromise, settlement or consent arose.


The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any such Director, officer or person is entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders, statute, or as a matter of law, or otherwise. The provisions of this section are separable, and if any provision or portion hereof shall for any reason be held inapplicable, illegal or ineffective, this shall not affect any right of indemnification existing otherwise than under this section.”


On July 9, 1981, the shareholders of the Registrant voted to amend Article V, Paragraph 9, of the By-laws as follows:


“To amend the By-laws of this Corporation to provide for the payment by the Corporation, to any director, officer or other person entitled to indemnity under these By-laws, of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person entitled to indemnity to repay the payment if he is later adjudicated not to be entitled to indemnification under Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws.”


The Registrant has a directors and officers liability policy that insures the Registrant’s directors and officers against certain liabilities which they may incur as directors or officers of the Registrant.

Item 17.  Undertakings.


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;


(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and



II-4






(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.


(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. 


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
