PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

Xalted provides advanced software solutions that enable companies and public organizations, including governments and law enforcement agencies, to capture, manage and analyze structured and unstructured data to enhance business and operational performance and address security threats. The two principal markets that our software solutions address are the telecom security market and the homeland security market. Xalted includes law enforcement as part of the homeland security market. Our current and past geographic focus is on India and the surrounding countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Our software products are developed internally. In some cases we incorporate software licensed from Oracle Corporation, BMC Corporation or other third-party suppliers specified by our customers. Our software is licensed to our customers and is sometimes delivered together with hardware products at the time of sale.

In the telecom security market, we provide four software modules that address different aspects of the telecom security market: revenue maximization, revenue assurance, fraud management and OSS/BSS (short for operations support systems and business support systems). The revenue maximization module allows a telecom service provider to identify trends in the usage of various services provided, so that it can tailor its service offering to maximize revenue. Revenue assurance locates potential users that are trying to use portions of the telecom service provider’s system capabilities without being a valid user of those services. The software module identifies illegal users, allowing the telecom service provider to take appropriate measures, generally comprised of locking the user out of a specific service or service package within the service network. The fraud management system module, or FMS, identifies a larger scale attempted use of the telecom service provider’s network by an individual or individuals who are not valid network users. The operations support systems, or OSS, and business support systems, or BSS, are business management tools that allow a telecom service provider to develop and deploy a new service offering more rapidly. The module automatically accounts for potential equipment limitations in the roll-out of a new service offering. The term OSS is commonly used to describe network systems dealing with the telecom network itself, as well as supporting processes such as maintaining network inventory, provisioning services, configuring network components and managing faults.

Our telecom security customers include major telecom companies and organizations in India, such as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd., or BSNL, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited, or MTNL, and the Centre for Development of Telematics, or CDOT, the telecom technology development center of the Government of India. BSNL is India’s oldest and largest communications service provider and one of its largest cellular service providers. It has footprints throughout India, except for the metropolitan cities of Mumbai and New Delhi, which are managed by MTNL. Telecom customers outside of India include Mozambique Cellular, or Mcel, Nepal Telecom, Nepal Satellite Telecom, Telecom Italia and Hutchison 3G.

In the homeland security market, our security solutions are used by governments and law enforcement agencies in their efforts to protect people and property and combat terrorism and crime. Our homeland security customers and end users include the national Government of India and local and regional law enforcement agencies and bodies in India, such as the Anti-Terrorist Squads in Mumbai, Maharashtra and Goa, the STF or special task force in Uttarakand, and the Cyber Crime division of the Thane District Police.

Our sales consist of licenses of software, sometimes resident on hardware which we acquire from standard industry sources as well as, in some cases, service fees for installation, commissioning, testing, training and/or ongoing technical support for our software modules. The terms of our licenses with our customers vary widely, but typically include progress payments based on delivery and installation or performance benchmarks and a final payment after commissioning, testing and acceptance by the customer.

Our corporate headquarters are located in San Jose, California. We have two operational centers in India and one in Rome, Italy. Our telecom security operations group is located in Bangaluru, India. Our homeland security operations are located in Mumbai, India. Our sales offices are located in Delhi, India, and Rome, Italy.

Our Corporate History and Background

Background and History of Kranem Corporation

We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on April 18, 2002 under the name Kranem Corporation. We previously offered high-quality office and office supply products to businesses, educational institutions, government agencies and individuals through our website, www.learningwire.com. We operated our business under our “Learningwire” trade name, which is registered with the Colorado Secretary of State. However, we ceased our online operations in January 2006 and from that time until the acquisition of Xalted Networks described below, we did not engage in any active operations, other than our search for a privately owned corporation to merge with or acquire.

Background and History of Xalted Networks and Xalted Information

Xalted Holding was originally established in Delaware in 1999 under the name “Xalted Networks, Inc.” On October 1, 2004, that company acquired 100% of Xalted Information pursuant to a Share Exchange and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement executed with the owners of Xalted Information, Rajendra Manikonda, or Mr. Manikonda, and Pratap (Bob) Kondamoori, or Mr. Kondamoori. In 2004, Mr. Manikonda was a director of Xalted Information and the managing director of that company. As of July 7, 2011, he no longer held any position with Xalted Information. In 2004, Mr. Kondamoori was a board member of Xalted Information, a position he resigned in November 2011. Effective March 4, 2011, the name of Xalted Networks, Inc. was changed to Xalted Holding Corporation.

In 2006, we were advised by our major customer that it favored dealing with companies majority-owned by Indian citizens. Accordingly, effective as of February 15, 2006, we amended our earlier Share Exchange and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement to rescind 30% of the 2004 equity transfer, so that Xalted Networks, now known as Xalted Holding, would hold 70% of Xalted Information directly and of record, and the remaining equity would be held of record 7.53% by Mr. Manikonda and 22.47% by Mr. Kondamoori, both of whom are Indian citizens. We refer to the 30% of the equity of Xalted Information which was the subject of the 2006 amendment as the Rescinded Stock. Additional equity of Xalted Information was issued to Mr. Manikonda and Mr. Kondamoori, and made subject to the same terms as the Rescinded Stock, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, also effective as of February 15, 2006. As a result, the equity owned by each of Mr. Manikonda and Mr. Kondamoori increased to 13.55% and 40.58% respectively and Xalted Network’s equity decreased to 45.87% . As of the date hereof, to our knowledge, the reasons for our reduction in our direct, record ownership of Xalted Information are still applicable and we are not aware of any indication that this will not remain the case for the foreseeable future.

Under the 2004 Share Exchange and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, and the 2006 Stock Purchase Agreement, Xalted Networks, now known as Xalted Holding, had an option to purchase the Rescinded Stock from its holders, or the Holders, for a total price of US$1.00 when the parties agree in good faith that the relevant restrictions are no longer applicable. The agreements also allowed the Holders to sell the Rescinded Stock only to Xalted Networks, now known as Xalted Holding when the parties agree in good faith that the relevant restrictions are no longer applicable; required the Holders to transfer to Xalted Networks, now known as Xalted Holding, any dividends or other distributions of any kind, including any liquidation proceeds, received by them from Xalted Information; and gave to Xalted Networks, now known as Xalted Holding, all voting rights associated with the Rescinded Stock. The voting and other rights of Xalted Networks, now known as Xalted Holding, with regard to the equity of Xalted Information are exercised by Xalted Networks, now known as Xalted Holding, acting through its board of directors and authorized executive officers.

On March 16, 2011, Xalted Holding, formerly known as Xalted Networks, Inc., transferred its 45.87% record ownership of Xalted Information, the beneficial ownership of the remaining 54.13%, and all of its rights on the equity in Xalted Information to a new wholly-owned subsidiary, to which it had given its former name, Xalted Networks, Inc. This transfer is evidenced by a Transfer Agreement dated March 16, 2011, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7.

4


Thus, as of May 13, 2011, when we closed our acquisition of Xalted Networks, that company held 45.87% of Xalted Information directly and of record; the remaining equity was held 13.55% by Mr. Manikonda and 40.58% by Mr. Kondamoori for the benefit of Xalted Networks; and Xalted Networks had 100% voting control as well as other rights over the equity of Xalted Information. This acquisition is described in the following section.

Acquisition of Xalted Networks

On May 12, 2011, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and related agreements pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Xalted Networks, a Delaware holding company, and its operating subsidiary in India, Xalted Information, in exchange for the issuance of 35% of our outstanding stock to Xalted Holding, the parent corporation of Xalted Networks, the issuance of 45% of our outstanding stock to three investors who were convertible note holders of Xalted Holding, the forgiveness of $2,500,000 of Xalted Holding convertible debt which we acquired from the note holders, and the cancellation of 14,687,500 outstanding shares of our common stock held by three individuals. These transactions resulted in a change of control of Kranem Corporation. These transactions closed on May 13, 2011.

We originally accounted for these transactions using the purchase method of accounting. On October 4, 2011, after consultation with our independent auditor, De Joya Griffith & Co. LLC, or De Joya, and other financial and legal advisors, our board adopted resolutions to reclassify these transactions as a reverse recapitalization. Reverse recapitalizations are often referred to as “reverse acquisitions,” which in substance are capital transactions, rather than acquisition transactions, under the business combination rules of accounting. The accounting for a reverse recapitalization is equivalent to the issuance of stock by a private company for the net monetary assets of a non-operating public company accompanied by a recapitalization. The historical financial statements disclosed in any filing with the SEC are those of the private company, which is treated as the continuing reporting entity.

We describe these transactions, or the Transactions, immediately below.

Our Acquisition and Cancellation of $2,500,000 in Xalted Holding Debt Represented by the Notes

A part of the Transactions was our acquisition and subsequent cancellation of convertible notes issued by Xalted Holding. Those notes, or the Notes, were issued by Xalted Holding to three of its existing investors in November 2010. The total principal amount of the Notes was $2,500,000. The investors purchasing the Notes were Imprenord ME (principal amount $1,750,000), Empire Capital Partners, L.P. ($500,000), and Peter J. Richards ($250,000). Imprenord ME is a private equity fund organized in Dubai and was at the time of the issuance of the Notes, and still is, a 10.3% shareholder of Xalted Holding. Its investment decisions are made by Jeetendra Chauhan, the treasurer of Imprenord ME. Empire Capital Partners, L.P., or Empire Capital, is a limited partnership organized in Delaware and was at the time of the issuance of the Notes, and still is, a 15.7% shareholder of Xalted Holding. According to the Schedule 13G filed on July 1, 2011 by Empire Capital and its Affiliates, voting and investment authority with regard to the shares held by Empire Capital Partners, LP may be considered to be held by Empire Capital and its affiliates, including: Empire GP, LLC, or Empire GP, a Delaware limited liability company, which serves as the General Partner to Empire Capital and Empire Capital Management, LLC, or Empire LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which serves as Investment Manager to Empire Capital as retained by Empire GP. Scott A. Fine and Peter J. Richards are the only Managing Members of Empire LLC and the only Managing Partners of Empire GP. As such, Mr. Fine and Mr. Richards may be considered as the persons having voting and dispositive powers over the other Empire entities, and thus, the shares held by Empire Capital.

Each of the Notes accrued interest at the lowest legal annual rate of interest, all matured on March 31, 2011, and was convertible at the option of all the Note holders collectively into shares of Xalted Holding representing 40% of that company’s equity capital on a fully diluted basis. By Assignment of Note Agreements dated in April 2011, in anticipation of a closing of the Transactions, the Note holders agreed to assign their Notes to us in exchange for shares of the common stock to be issued to them in the Transactions, at the consummation of which the Notes would be cancelled. The May 6, 2011 termination date under the Assignment of Note Agreements was extended until the effective date of the Share Exchange Agreement entered into as a part of the Transactions by an Extension of Assignment of Note Agreements signed by the parties effective as of May 6, 2011.

5


The Assignment of Note Agreements provided the Notes would be transferred to us in exchange for a number of our shares to be set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement we were then negotiating with Xalted Holding, and that the Notes would be cancelled immediately upon issuance of the shares. The effect of this agreement was to relieve Xalted Holding of $2,500,000 of debt as partial consideration for our acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary, Xalted Network. For their part, the Note holders were willing to exchange their right to demand cash payment of the Notes, or convert their Notes into equity in Xalted Holding, for an aggregate 45% interest in Kranem.

The Share Exchange Agreement

On May 12, 2011, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Xalted Holding and Xalted Networks pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Xalted Networks from Xalted Holding in exchange for the issuance to Xalted Holding of 11,634,220 newly issued shares of our common stock representing 35% of our issued and outstanding common stock after the completion of the Transactions; the issuance of 14,958,280 newly issued shares of our common stock to the three Note holders, in proportion to the principal amounts of their Notes; the cancellation of the Xalted Holding debt represented by those Notes; and the repurchase and cancellation of a total of 14,687,500 shares of our common stock held by three individuals. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, the shares we agreed to issue to the Note holders were allocated as follows: 10,470,795 shares to Imprenord ME, 2,991,655 shares to Empire Capital, and 1,495,830 shares to Peter Richards. These shares would represent 31.4%, 9.0%, and 4.5%, respectively, of our issued and outstanding stock after the completion of the Transactions. The number of shares to be issued to the Note holders was arrived at, after negotiations, to result in an aggregate shareholding by the Note holders of 45% of our issued and outstanding stock immediately after the closing of the Transactions. We closed the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement on May 13, 2011.

Our Repurchase and Cancellation of 14,687,500 Shares of Our Common Stock

On May 13, 2011, as further contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, we entered into separate agreements to repurchase and cancel a total of 14,687,500 shares of our common stock11,025,000 shares of which were held by Stephen K. Smith, then our President, sole director and controlling shareholder; 180,000 shares of which were held by Michael Grove, then our Secretary, Treasurer and Principal Financial Officer; and 2,762,500 shares of which were held by Andrea Brady, who had no relationship with us other than as a shareholder, in each case in consideration for the payment of $10 in cash. The number of shares to be repurchased and cancelled was agreed upon by the parties, after negotiations, to arrive at the final ownership percentages for Xalted Holding and the Note holders after the closing of the Transactions without repurchasing or cancelling shares held by members of the public.

Change of Control and Resulting Capital Structure

After the closing of the Transactions on May 13, 2011, our issued and outstanding shares were held 35% by Xalted Holding, 31.5% by Imprenord ME, 18.5% by unaffiliated public shareholders, 9% by Empire Capital, 4.5% by Peter Richards, and less than 1% each by Stephen K. Smith, Michael Grove and Andrea Brady.

Changes to Our Board of Directors and Management

As a part of the Transactions, the parties agreed Michael Grove would resign from all positions held with us effective as of the closing of the transaction; Stephen K. Smith would resign from his position as our President effective as of the closing of the transaction, and as a member of our board of directors effective upon the tenth day following the mailing of a 14f-1 Notice to our shareholders, or June 4, 2011; Ajay Batheja would be appointed to our board of directors effective as of the closing; other individuals as might be designated by Xalted Holding would be appointed to our board effective upon the tenth day following the mailing of a 14f-1 Notice to our shareholders, or June 4, 2011; Ajay Batheja would be appointed as our Chief Executive officer effective as of the closing; and Edward Miller would be appointed as our Chief Financial Officer effective as of the closing. Ajay Batheja was then, and still is, a member of the board of directors and the CEO of Xalted Holding, and the CEO of Xalted Information. Edward Miller had no position with us, Xalted Holding or any affiliate of either prior to the closing. Since the closing, Luigi Caramico and V.R. Ranganath, both of whom are directors of Xalted Holding, have been appointed to our board of directors, effective as of the tenth day following the mailing of a 14f-1 Notice to our shareholders, or June 4, 2011. The security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management is set out below under Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

Acquisition of Alfa Sistemi and Adora

On November 30, 2011, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Alfa Sistemi Purchase Agreement, and consummated the transactions set forth in the Alfa Sistemi Purchase Agreement, to acquire 100% ownership of Alfa Sistemi Telemedia Srl, an Italian company, or Alfa Sistemi, from Mr. Aldo Greco and Ms. Mario Fausto Greco, the existing stockholders of Alfa Sistemi for (a) $800,000 in cash, payable on the later of (i) 6 months from the effective date of the Alfa Sistemi Purchase Agreement or (ii) the date of the Company’s equity next financing and (b) 200,000 shares of common stock to be issued as soon as possible. Alfa Sistemi provides telecommunications equipment and services to various customers in Italy.

On December 21, 2011, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Adora Purchase Agreement, to acquire 100% ownership of Adora ICT Srl, or Adora, an Italian company, from E-Company Srl and Ms. Cristina Carra, the existing stockholders of Adora. The Adora Purchase Agreement was fully executed by the parties on December 21, 2011 and the acquisition completed, with agreed-upon effect as from November 1, 2011. Adora provides telecommunications equipment and services to various customers in Italy. The aggregate consideration, which we estimate to be no more than $2,500,000, is contingent on the 2011 audited revenues of Adora and comprises 50% in cash and 50% in shares of common stock, payable by installments upon the delivery of Adora’s 2011 and 2012 audited financials, respectively. The stock consideration is calculated using the closing market price of our stock on the effective date of the Adora Purchase Agreement.

Our Corporate Structure

The chart below presents our current corporate structure:


Our Industry

Telecom Security Solutions Market and Trends

We believe that the key trends driving demand for our telecom security solutions are:

Increasing revenue generation. Increasing the company’s revenue stream is the single greatest challenge in the telecom industry today. The telecom industry can improve most of its operating metrics by simply increasing revenue while controlling costs. The fastest method to increasing revenue is through its service and package offering to its users. The best possible revenue solution for the industry is to revise its service offering in such a manner, so that it requires minimal changes in the network but provides increased revenue generation. Inherently implied in this trend is that the existing revenue cannot be compromised, which is to say eliminate the potential for fraudulent use of the service providers network. To address this trend, Xalted has developed the two modules revenue maximization and revenue assurance.

7


Increased focus on productivity, operational performance and profitability. In today’s economy, companies are increasingly focused on improving productivity and increasing profitability by creating better-quality customer experiences and through achieving higher efficiencies across the enterprise. These objectives require organizations to better manage their customer, partner and employee relationships, analyze critical customer data, maximize the value of customer interactions and execute customer-focused business processes. Considering the high cost of acquiring new customers and the maturation of many industries, it is increasingly important to maximize revenue from the retention and continued satisfaction of current customers. Similarly, due to the high cost of upgrading the telecom network with new equipment and technologies is very expensive. Accordingly, the telecom industry would prefer to minimize capital costs while improving the overall performance of its network. The solution is have a system that can integrate new technologies and capabilities on top of the existing equipment and network capabilities or at a minimum replace the least amount of equipment possible for a new capability. To address the industry’s needs Xalted has developed its OSS/BSS software module. Within the OSS portion of the module exists tools that will allow the user to assess the networks capabilities in modifying legacy systems and equipment.

Heightened regulatory and compliance requirements and the need for dispute resolution. Compliance and regulatory pressures have increased for corporations and public organizations worldwide. These include both internal and external regulations, such as compliance and regulations that may be driven by accounting scandals (e.g., the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), security concerns (e.g., anti-money laundering legislation) and recent events in the financial industry (e.g., the increase in fraud attempts related to wire transfers). In addition, it is important to be able to eliminate and/or resolve communication disputes, such as between counterparties in a securities trade, in an efficient and definitive manner. Existing business intelligence and other IT solutions have addressed these growing challenges to some degree. However, institutions require improved solutions that not only provide better compliance and surveillance, but also more current, real-time information with increased operational visibility. Advanced FMS and OSS/BSS enable the reduction of the costs associated with ongoing compliance, improved customer service, while creating the required audit trail for regulatory purposes.

Homeland Security Solutions Market and Trends

We believe that terrorism and organized crime, which includes drug trafficking and other security threats, combined with an expanding range of communication and information media, are driving demand for innovative security solutions that collect, integrate, and analyze information from voice, video, and data communications, as well as from other sources such as private and public databases. We believe the key trends driving demand for our homeland security solutions are:

Increasing complexity of communications networks and growing network traffic. Law enforcement and certain other government agencies are typically given the authority to intercept communication transmissions to and from specified targets for the purpose of generating evidence and supporting investigations. National security and intelligence agencies intercept communications, often in massive volumes, for these purposes. We believe these agencies are seeking technically advanced solutions to help them keep pace with increasingly complex communications networks and the growing amount of network traffic.

Improved ease of use, processing capabilities and reduced size of handheld communication devices. The advent of advanced handheld technology devices such as the iPhone and Blackberry have increased the communication capabilities of both terrorists and organized crime organizations. These new devices can send and receive telephone calls, text messages, emails, data files, pictures, and videos. The devices can browse the Internet, store data and provide GPS information. These handheld devices have only increased the complexities faced by the law enforcement community, intelligence and national security agencies. Law enforcement and security organizations are looking for solutions to help them track terrorists and other criminals and their communication devices. The solutions needed are those that allow law enforcement and security agencies to monitor multiple communication mediums, and to store and process the complex information obtained into a useable source of information for fact-based decision making.

8


Growing demand for advanced intelligence and investigative solutions. Investigations related to criminal and terrorist networks, drugs, financial crimes, and other illegal activities are highly complex and often involve collecting and analyzing information from multiple sources. We believe law enforcement, national security, intelligence, and other government agencies are seeking advanced solutions that enable them to integrate and analyze information from multiple sources and collaborate more efficiently with various other agencies in order to unearth suspicious activity, optimize investigative workflows, and make investigations more effective.

Emerging needs for holistic situational awareness and event management. The number and variety of physical security sensors is growing substantially, with public and private organizations deploying security systems, such as surveillance cameras and access control and intrusion detection sensors. Organizations, municipalities and governmental entities are struggling to eliminate the number of information silos created by deployment of redundant security systems. These silos limit the control room operators’ ability to gain a cohesive and unified picture of situations. The lack of unified solutions undermines the ability to take decisive actions; furthermore, the lack of adequate tools for sharing information in real time between the various field security personnel, emergency forces and law enforcement agencies, among others, can substantially prolong response time and reduce the probability of successful event mitigation.

Increased urbanization raises rates of crime and risks of terror attacks. Increased urbanization in both developed and developing countries results in higher rates of various types of crime (such as robbery, theft, murder and other assaults) and greater fears of terror attacks in city centers and other metropolitan areas and systems (such as mass transit). These growing concerns are driving large-scale security projects in these areas, aiming at improving the security of the citizens. These large-scale projects include installation and implementation of wide-scale security systems, which better synchronize and correlate multimedia data sources in order to assist law enforcement officials to detect and prevent crimes and terror attacks and investigate quickly in order to apprehend the suspects.

Our Competitive Strengths

We anticipate that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively and to capitalize on the growth of the telecom and homeland information security industries:

  • We have established business relationships. We have established relationships with national and lower- level governments and law enforcement agencies as well as major telecom companies. We have been working with the Government of India since 2006 to create homeland security solutions. As a result this collaboration, our InteliANALYZER solution was deployed in four metropolitan areas in India. We also have established relationships with local and regional law enforcement agencies and bodies in India, such as the Anti-Terrorist Squads in Mumbai, Maharashtra and Goa, a special law enforcement task force in Uttarakand, and the Cyber Crime Division of Thane District Police. We have been able to build upon our established relationships in both the government and telecom sectors by obtaining introductions to potentially new customers/users of our products. In the government sector, as we roll-out our products to the state and local law enforcement agencies, we are opening new opportunities for additional product sales. In the telecom security sector, we have been providing OSS/BSS services to MTNL since 2004 and to BSNL since 2005. Other customers include Mcel, Nepal Telecom, Nepal Satellite Telecom, Telecom Italia and Hutchison 3G.

  • We have developed highly scalable advanced solutions. We believe the data capture, retention, and retrieval system we have developed is among the fastest, most secure, and scalable systems in the world. This system was initially developed to track the demanding requirements of wireless telecom operators, including Telecom Italia, Fastweb and Albacom (British telecom) for their billing systems. Because it was built with linear scalability in mind, with high retrieval rates, it turned out to be the perfect platform to supply the increasingly complex needs of government clients, whose data needs are demanding.

  • We have a broad portfolio of information security solutions. We have worked closely with our customers over the past three years and developed proprietary, configurable modules that deliver “out of the box” value for customers. Our solutions can be deployed stand-alone or collectively as part of a large-scale system to address the needs of our clients that require advanced, comprehensive solutions. Our homeland security solutions are designed to handle massive amounts of unstructured and structured information from different sources (including fixed and mobile networks, IP networks, and the Internet), can quickly make sense of complex scenarios and generate evidence and intelligence. These highly specialized, unique, domain expertise-filled modules have helped our clients foil or mitigate over ten terrorist plans in last two years.

Our Growth Strategy

We are committed to enhancing profitability and cash flows through the following strategies:

  • We plan to continue our penetration of the homeland information security market in India. We believe our current penetration of the homeland information security market in India represents less than 1% of the total market opportunity in that country. Given our established business relationships, advanced product offerings and proven track record, we expect sustained growth in this market. We are negotiating an incremental $30 million agreement with the government of India that we expect to close in the second half of 2012.
     
  • We plan to continue to expand our market presence outside of India. We intend to continue expanding our existing relationships outside of India while creating new ones. We are currently in discussions with key agencies and governments in Nigeria, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Ghana and Oman to expand our homeland security business. We also plan to leverage our current relationships in other areas such as Italy, Africa and the Middle East to develop significant customer relationships over time.
     
  • We plan to augment our organic grown with strategic acquisitions. We examine acquisition opportunities regularly as a means to add technology, increase our geographic presence or expand into adjacent markets. We completed two acquisitions in 2011 in Italy and hope to complete one additional acquisition in the second half of 2012.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately 74.9% and 69.9%, respectively, of our revenues were generated from sales of our telecom security solutions.

Homeland Information Security Solutions

In the homeland security sector, we have developed our Actionable Intelligence System product, or InteliCENTER. InteliCENTER is a sophisticated data analytics and monitoring platform for intelligence agencies that acquires, correlates and analyzes large volumes of structured and unstructured data received from varied information sources (such as telecommunications service providers, internet service providers, government agencies and other information systems) and provides actionable intelligence to proactively counter criminal activities. Unstructured data includes cross-channel analysis of phone calls, internet sessions, email, chat, instant messaging, video captured by closed circuit cameras and radio communications.

InteliCENTER empowers intelligence agencies with strategic, operational and tactical information to bring out unforeseen intelligence, which can lead to proactive measures to address criminal activity potentially endangering public safety. It helps intelligence agencies gain insight into data by analyzing data patterns, uncovering links within the data, discerning relationships, monitoring target movements, etc. InteliCENTER can be customized to a significant extent to cater to the requirements of clients.

InteliCENTER was the Company’s first product to address the needs of the homeland security market. Since the development of InteliCENTER, we have developed four additional modules based upon the request of our customers.

Product Purpose
InteliCENTER InteliCENTER provides law enforcement and intelligence agencies with proactive monitoring of communications, transactions and events across domains, and draws intelligence from the information assisting authorities to act in a timely manner and to develop strategies and processes to predict and prevent criminal activities. InteliCENTER provides both the strategic and operational information required through real-time tactical analysis, empowering decision-makers with key data points to allow them to intelligently formulate their strategy to a given threat.
   
InteliCURATOR InteliCURATOR acquires and analyzes a variety of disparate data sources. The data sources handled by the system come from sources such as communication detail records, government information systems (passport, visa, driving license, permits, ID cards etc.), law enforcement systems, public and private sensors and surveillance records, and various transaction records (banking, financial, medical, and travel, etc.). The data is gathered, processed, sorted, and stored per identity, so that a profile can be built on a suspect.
   
InteliANALYZER InteliANALYZER conducts analysis of curated digital data and provides law enforcement and intelligence agencies with proactive intelligence. It allows the investigating agency and its personnel to locate hidden links to piece together a picture of a planned criminal activity or terrorist threat.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately 25.1% and 30.1%, respectively, of our revenues were generated from sales of our homeland security solutions.

Customer Service and Support

We offer a range of customer services, including implementation, training, consulting and maintenance to help our customers maximize their return on investments in our solutions. While our customer service and support fees have increased over time, they represent less than 10% of our revenue and are below those of our competition. This is an area in which we would like to significantly improve our revenue generation.

Our solutions are implemented and installed by business units within our operating subsidiaries, which we sometimes refer to as our service organizations. Our implementation services include project management, system installation, and commissioning, including integrating our applications with our customers’ environments and third-party solutions. In some cases, we have agreements with third parties, such as IBM and Mahindra Satyam, a major Indian technology company, to act as suppliers or subcontractors on projects in which they are a prime or superior contractor. On occasion we certify their personnel to sell, install and support the software we provide. Customer training is provided at the customer site, at our training centers, or remotely through webinars. Our consulting services are designed to enable our customers to maximize the value of our solutions in their own environments.

We offer a range of customer maintenance support programs to our customers and resellers, including phone, Web, and email access to technical personnel up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our support programs are designed to ensure long-term, successful use of our solutions. We believe that customer support is critical to retaining and expanding our customer base. Our solutions are sold with a warranty of generally one year for hardware and 90 days for software. In addition, customers are typically provided the option to purchase maintenance plans that provide a range of services, such as telephone support, advanced replacement, upgrades when and if available, and on-site repair or replacement.

Our Customers

We sell our products in India and internationally. Historically, a small number of customers have accounted for a substantial portion of our revenue. Due to nondisclosure agreements with certain key customers, we cannot disclose the exact percentages their sales represent for us. As we target new markets, we expect our customer composition as well as the identity and concentration of our top customers to change from period to period.

In the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we derived approximately 26.9% and 67.7% of our revenue, respectively, from Indian customers, and approximately 73.1% and 32.3% of our revenue, respectively, from international customers.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 15.5% of our business was generated from contracts with various governments, including national, state, and lower-level government agencies. Some of the customer engagements on which we work require us to have the necessary security credentials or to participate in the project through an approved legal entity. In addition, because of the unique nature of the terms and conditions associated with government contracts generally, our government contracts may be subject to renegotiation or termination at the election of the government customer.

In 2010, our Indian subsidiary reported $2,260,000 in sales in the US market, which represented an intercompany receipt from its parent, Xalted Holding (then known as Xalted Networks, Inc.). The parent company had a similar amount of revenue from its customer, a company located in Sweden. The work under the contract has been substantially completed. The resulting “loss” of this revenue in 2011 is not due to any corporate reorganization but rather to the completion of work under the contract. We do not anticipate any material impact on our future financial results since we anticipate new contracts to replace those under which work has been completed.

In 2011, our material customer contracts were with an agency of the government of India; and with Ericsson India Pvt. Ltd., both directly as well as indirectly through Xalted Holding as a pass-through reseller. We are not permitted to disclose certain terms of our contract with an agency of the government of India based on Indian national security concerns.

  • On June 7, 2006 Xalted Information and government of India signed a seven year agreement to develop, install and implement software for the government of India. The total value of the contract is approximately $9.5 million, which will be invoiced in approximately 25% increments based upon the attainment of certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 60% of the contract had been fulfilled.
     
  • In 2010 and 2011, we provided hardware, spare parts, software and support materials, together with maintenance services, to Ericsson India Pvt. Ltd., both directly and through Xalted Holding as a pass- through reseller. Until May 13, 2011, Xalted Holding was our corporate parent; it is now one of our significant shareholders. Any amounts received by Xalted Holding from Ericsson India Pvt. Ltd. were passed through without deduction to Xalted Information. In 2010, we invoiced $2,564,486 directly to Ericsson India Pvt. Ltd., and $2,154,535 indirectly through Xalted Holding, under this arrangement; and in 2011, we invoiced $410,063 directly and $2,207,038 indirectly under this arrangement. These amounts represented 59.6% and 31.5% of our revenues in 2010 and 2011, respectively. We anticipate the remaining work under these agreements will generate revenue of approximately $1.5 million in 2012. The term of the agreements is until May 31, 2016.

For a more detailed discussion of the risks associated with our government customers, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We are dependent on contracts with governments for a significant portion of our revenue and these contracts also expose us to additional business risks and compliance obligations” and “—Indian and foreign governments could refuse to buy our homeland security solutions or could deactivate our security clearances in their countries thereby restricting or eliminating our ability to sell these solutions in those countries and perhaps influence other countries by such a decision.”

Sales and Marketing

We sell our software and services primarily through our direct sales teams and a small portion through our indirect channel consisting mostly of resellers. Each of our solutions is sold by trained, dedicated, regionally organized direct and indirect sales teams. Our direct sales teams are focused on large and mid-sized customers and, in many cases, co-sell with our sales agents. Our indirect sales teams are focused on developing and supporting relationships with our indirect channels, which provide us with broader market coverage, including access to their customer base, integration services, and presence in certain geographies and vertical markets. Our sales teams are supported by our internal implementation and installation specialists, who, during the sales process, determine customer requirements and develop technical responses to those requirements. While we sell directly and indirectly in both of our segments, sales of our telecom security solutions are primarily direct, and sales of our homeland security solutions are exclusively direct.

Research and Development

We continue to enhance the features and performance of our existing software solutions and introduce new solutions through extensive software development activities, including the development of new software modules and features as well as enhancements and customer requests to our existing software offering. We also offer consulting services, which allows us to evaluate and determine our customers’ needs and customize our software to meet those needs. In some instances, our customers will identify particular requirements and we will customize our products. We believe our future success depends on a number of factors, which include our ability to:

  • identify and respond to emerging technological trends in our target markets;
     
  • develop and maintain competitive solutions that meet our customers’ changing needs and requirements;
     
  • enhance our existing products by adding features and functionality to meet specific customer needs or differentiate our products from those of our competitors;
     
  • constantly evaluate external opportunities to accelerate our product offering through key acquisitions of businesses, business units and technology licenses; and
     
  • attract, recruit, and retain highly skilled and experienced employees.

To support these efforts, we make significant investments in research and development every year. In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we spent $957,606 and $1,002,980, respectively, on research and development. The cost of this research and development was built into the fees we charged our customers and to that extent was borne directly by our customers. We allocate our research and development resources in response to market research and customer demand for additional features and solutions. Our development strategy involves rolling out initial releases of our products and adding features over time. We incorporate product feedback received from our customers into our product development process. While our products are developed internally, in some cases, we also acquire or license technologies, products, and applications from third parties based on timing and cost considerations, and incorporate those in our products. We are not materially dependent on any such third party products or applications.

The Bidding Process for Government Contracts

The bidding process for our contracts is a multi-step process that generally requires months to complete. In most cases, the process begins with the posting of an RFI (Request for Information) by the prospective purchaser. The purpose of the RFI is to explore whether potential vendors meet basic requirements relating to capabilities and availability of products or services. After responses are made to the RFI, the purchaser typically issues a tender detailing the product or service requirements for the project and a list of specific information to be supplied by potential vendors. Each vendor must pay a tender fee, which is generally a nominal amount, in order to download a complete copy of the tender and evaluate whether it wishes to bid on the contract. If it wishes to bid, the vendor prepares and submits a “Technical Bid” containing the information and documentation required by the tender. If the purchaser determines that the Technical Bid meets the basic requirements of the tender, it will then request and consider a “Commercial Bid” from the vendor. The Commercial Bid contains price quotations for each item on which the vendor has bid on the tender. After the bids are submitted, and on the basis of the Technical attributes of the Bids, purchasers sometimes require product demonstrations. At the completion of a purchaser’s evaluation process, vendors are selected for portions of or all of the project tendered. Once vendors are selected, the necessary purchase orders are raised.

14


Intellectual Property

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and protect our proprietary technology and to conduct our business without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We rely primarily on a combination of proprietary technology and trade secrets, as well as employee and third-party confidentiality agreements, to safeguard our intellectual property. Some of the software modules which we develop internally and license to our customers incorporate third-party software licensed from Oracle Corporation and BMC Software for that purpose. We are not materially dependent on the software from either vendor. If our customer prefers an alternative vendor, or if we were to determine for any reason to use the software of another vendor, we could do so without a material impact on our business.

We license certain software, technology, and related rights for use in the marketing of our software. We believe that our rights under such licenses and other agreements are sufficient for the marketing of our products and, in the case of licenses, extend for periods at least equal to the estimated useful lives of the related technology and know-how.

Our licenses are designed to prohibit unauthorized use, copying, and disclosure of our software technology. When we license our software to customers, we require license agreements containing restrictions and confidentiality terms customary in the industry in order to protect our proprietary rights in the software. These agreements generally warrant that the software and propriety hardware will materially comply with written documentation and assert that we own or have sufficient rights in the software we distribute and have not violated the intellectual property rights of others. We license our products in a format that does not permit users to change the software code.

We protect our trade secrets through confidentiality provisions in the employment contracts we enter into with our employees. In addition, our software engineers and programmers are generally divided into different project groups, each of which generally handles only a portion of the project software. As a result, no one software engineer or programmer generally has access to the entire design process and documentation for a particular product.

We cannot give any assurance that the protection afforded for our intellectual property will be adequate. It may be possible for third parties to obtain and use, without our consent, intellectual property that we own or are licensed to use. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may adversely affect our business. We may also be subject to litigation involving claims of patent infringement or violation of other intellectual property rights of third parties. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our intellectual property may not be adequately protected,” “—Our products may infringe or may be alleged to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which could lead to costly disputes or disruptions for us and may require us to indemnify our customers and resellers for any damages they suffer” and —Reliance on or loss of third-party licensing agreements could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.”

Our Competition

We face strong competition in all of our markets, and we expect that competition will persist and intensify. Our primary competitors are i2 Limited (U.K.) (now a subsidiary of IBM), Narus, Inc., Verint Systems Inc., NICE Systems Ltd. (Israel), Septier Communication Ltd. (Israel), SS8 Networks, Inc., Visual Analytics Inc., and many smaller companies, which can vary across regions. Some of our competitors have superior brand recognition and greater financial resources than we do, which may enable them to increase their market share at our expense. Furthermore, we expect that competition will increase as other established and emerging companies enter markets and as new products, services, and technologies are introduced.

15


We believe that we compete principally on the basis of:

  • product performance and functionality;
     
  • product quality and reliability;
     
  • breadth of product portfolio and interoperability;
     
  • high-quality customer service and support;
     
  • specific industry knowledge, vision, and experience; and
     
  • price.

We believe that our success depends primarily on our ability to provide technologically advanced and cost-effective solutions and services. We expect that competition will increase as other established and emerging companies enter our market and as new products, services, and technologies are introduced. In recent years, there has also been significant consolidation among our competitors, which has improved the competitive position of several of these companies and enabled new competitors to emerge in all of our markets. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Intense competition in our markets and competitors with greater resources than us may limit our market share, profitability, and growth” for a more detailed discussion of the competitive risks we face.

Employees

As of March 31, 2012, we had 190 employees, all of whom were full-time employees. The following table sets forth our employees by function.

    Number of  
Function   Employees  
Senior Management   7  
Research and Development, Technical Support   150  
Sales and Marketing   11

TOTAL   190  

We maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees, and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for our operations. None of our employees is represented by a labor union.

Regulation

Because most of our operations are in India, we are subject to national and local laws in India. This section summarizes the major regulations relating to our business. Employment, Health and Safety Laws

We are subject to various labor, health and safety laws which govern the terms of employment of the our employees, their working conditions, the benefits available to them and the general relationship between our management and such employees. These include:

16


Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (“IDA”)

The IDA seeks to preempt industrial tensions in an establishment and provide the mechanics of dispute resolution, collective bargaining and the investigation and settlement of industrial disputes between unions and companies. While the IDA provides for the voluntary reference of disputes to arbitration, it also empowers the appropriate government agency to refer disputes for compulsory adjudication and prohibit strikes and lock-outs during the pendency of conciliation proceedings before a board of conciliation or adjudication proceedings before a labor court.

Contract Labor (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 (“CLRA”)

The CLRA was enacted to regulate the employment of contract labor. The CLRA applies to every establishment in which 20 or more persons are employed or were employed on any day of the preceding 12 months as contract labor. The CLRA vests the responsibility on the principal employer of an establishment to register as an establishment that engages contract labor. Likewise, every contractor to whom the CLRA applies must obtain a license and may not undertake or execute any work through contract laborers except in accordance with the license issued.

To ensure the welfare and health of contract labor, the CLRA imposes certain obligations on the contractor in relation to establishment of canteens, rest rooms, drinking water, washing facilities, first aid and other facilities and payment of wages. However, in the event the contractor fails to provide these amenities, the principal employer is under an obligation to provide these facilities within a prescribed time period.

Employee State Insurance Act, 1948 (“ESIA”)

The ESIA requires the provision of certain benefits to employees or their beneficiaries in the event of sickness, maternity, disability or employment injury. Every factory or establishment to which the ESIA applies is required to be registered in the manner prescribed under the ESIA. Every employee, including casual and temporary employees, whether employed directly or through a contractor, who is in receipt of wages up to Rs. 6,500 per month, is entitled to be insured under the ESIA. The ESIA contemplates the payment of a contribution by the principal employer and each employee to the Employee State Insurance Corporation.

Payment of Wages Act, 1936 (“PWA”)

The PWA regulates the payment of wages to certain classes of employed persons and makes every employer responsible for the payment of wages to persons employed by such employer. No deductions are permitted from, nor is any fine permitted to be levied on, wages earned by a person employed except as provided under the PWA.

Minimum Wages Act, 1948 (“MWA”)

The MWA provides for a minimum wage payable by employers to employees. Under the MWA, every employer is required to pay the minimum wage to all employees, whether for skilled, unskilled, manual or clerical work, in accordance with the minimum rates of wages that have been fixed and revised under the MWA. Workers are to be paid for overtime at overtime rates stipulated by the appropriate government. Contravention of the provisions of this legislation may result in imprisonment up to six months, a fine up to Rs. 500 or both.

Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 (“WCA”)

The WCA makes every employer liable to pay compensation if injury, disability or death is caused to a workman (including those employed through a contractor) due to an accident arising out of or in the course of his employment. If the employer fails to pay the compensation due under the WCA within one month from the date it falls due, the commissioner may direct the employer to pay the compensation amount along with interest and impose a penalty for non-payment.

17


Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (“PGA”)

Under the PGA, an employee who has been in continuous service for a period of five years is eligible for gratuity upon retirement or resignation. The entitlement to gratuity in the event of superannuation or death or disablement due to accident or disease, will not be contingent on an employee having completed five years of continuous service. The maximum amount of gratuity payable must not exceed Rs. 350,000.

An employee is said to be in “continuous service” for a certain period notwithstanding that his service has been interrupted during that period by sickness, accident, leave, absence without leave, lay-off, strike, lock-out or cessation of work not due to the fault to of the employee. The employee is also deemed to be in continuous service if the employee has worked (in an establishment that works for at least six days in a week) for at least 240 days in a period of 12 months or 120 days in a period of six months immediately preceding the date of reckoning.

Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 (“PBA”)

The PBA provides for the payment of a minimum annual bonus to all employees regardless of whether the employer has made a profit or a loss in the accounting year in which the bonus is payable. Under the PBA, every employer is bound to pay to every employee, in respect of the relevant accounting year, a minimum bonus equal to 8.33% of the salary or wage earned by the employee during the accounting year or Rs. 100, whichever is higher. If the allocable surplus, as defined in the PBA, available to an employer in any accounting year exceeds the aggregate amount of minimum bonus payable to the employees, the employer is bound to pay bonuses at a higher rate which is in proportion to the salary or wage earned by the employee and the allocable surplus during the accounting year, subject to a maximum of 20% of such salary or wage. Contravention of the provisions of the PBA by a company will be punishable by imprisonment for up to six months or a fine of up to Rs. 1,000, or both, against persons in charge of, and responsible to the company for, the conduct of the business of the company at the time of contravention.

Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (“EPFA”)

The EPFA creates provident funds for the benefit of employees in factories and other establishments. Contributions are required to be made by employers and employees to a provident fund and pension fund established and maintained by the Government of India. The employer is responsible for deducting employees’ contributions from the wages of employees and remitting the employees’ as well as its own contributions to the relevant fund. The EPFA empowers the Government of India to frame various funds such as the “Employees Provident Fund Scheme,” the “Employees Deposit-linked Insurance Scheme” and the “Employees Family Pension Scheme.”

Other Regulations

Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (“Land Acquisition Act”)

As per the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, the central government or appropriate state government is empowered to acquire any land from private persons for ‘public purpose’ subject to payment of compensation to the persons from whom the land is so acquired. The Land Acquisition Act further prescribes the manner in which such acquisition may be made by the central government or the appropriate state government. Additionally, any person having an interest in such land has the right to object to such proposed acquisition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Our business is impacted by changes in general economic conditions and information technology spending in particular.

Our business is subject to risks arising from adverse changes in India and global economic conditions. Slowdowns or recessions around the world may cause companies and governments to delay, reduce, or even cancel planned spending. Customers who are facing business challenges or liquidity issues are also more likely to delay purchase decisions or cancel orders, as well as to delay or default on payments. If customers significantly reduce their spending with us or significantly delay or fail to make payments to us, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. Moreover, as a result of recent economic conditions, like many companies, we engaged in significant cost-saving measures over the last two years. We cannot assure you that these measures will not negatively impact our ability to execute on our objectives and grow in the future, particularly if we are not able to invest in our business as a result of a protracted economic downturn.

If the pace of spending by the governments and security organizations is slower than anticipated, our homeland security business will likely be adversely affected.

The market for our homeland security solutions is highly dependent on the spending cycle and spending scope of the Government of India, as well as local, state and municipal governments and security organizations in international markets. We cannot be sure that the spending cycle will materialize as we expect and that we will be positioned to benefit from the potential opportunities, especially in light of the current unfavorable economic and market conditions.

Intense competition in our markets and competitors with greater resources than us may limit our market share, profitability, and growth.

We face aggressive competition from numerous and varied competitors in all of our markets, making it difficult to maintain market share, remain profitable, and grow. Even if we are able to maintain or increase our market share for a particular product, revenue or profitability could decline due to pricing pressures, increased competition from other types of products, or because the product is in a maturing industry.

Our competitors may be able to more quickly develop or adapt to new or emerging technologies, better respond to changes in customer requirements or preferences, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products. Some of our competitors have, in relation to us, longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer standing relationships with customers, greater name recognition, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service, public relations, distribution, or other resources. Some of our competitors are also significantly larger than us and some of these companies have increased their presence in our markets in recent years through internal development, partnerships, and acquisitions. There has also been significant consolidation among our competitors, which has improved the competitive position of several of these companies and enabled new competitors to emerge in all of our markets. In addition, we may face competition from solutions developed internally by our customers. To the extent we cannot compete effectively, our market share and, therefore, results of operations, could be materially adversely affected.

Because price and related terms are key considerations for many of our customers, we may have to accept less-favorable payment terms, lower the prices of our products and services, and/or reduce our cost structure, including reducing headcount or investment in research and development, in order to remain competitive. Certain of our competitors have become increasingly aggressive in their pricing strategy, particularly in markets where they are trying to establish a foothold. If we are forced to take these kinds of actions to maintain market share, our revenue and profitability may suffer or we may adversely impact our longer-term ability to execute or compete.

In order to grow at the pace expected by management, we will require additional capital to support our long-term business plan. If we are unable to obtain additional capital in future years, we may be unable to proceed with our long-term business plan, and we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations.

We will require additional working capital to support our long-term business plan, which includes identifying suitable targets for horizontal or vertical mergers or acquisitions, so as to enhance the overall productivity and benefit from economies of scale. We expect to pursue acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses and assets in new markets, either within or outside the telecom security industry, that complement or expand our existing business. Our working capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities, if any, will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business during the period and payment terms with our customers. We may not be able to obtain adequate levels of additional financing, whether through equity financing, debt financing or other sources. Additional financings could result in significant dilution to our earnings per share or the issuance of securities with rights superior to our current outstanding securities. In addition, we may grant registration rights to investors purchasing our equity or debt securities in the future. If we are unable to raise additional financing, we may be unable to implement our long-term business plan, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, a lack of additional financing could force us to substantially curtail or cease operations.

Our liquidity may be materially adversely affected by continuing constraints in the capital markets.

We must have sufficient sources of liquidity to fund our working capital requirements, service our outstanding indebtedness and finance investment opportunities. Without sufficient liquidity, we could be forced to curtail our operations or we may not be able to pursue promising business opportunities. The principal sources of our liquidity are funds generated from operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under credit facilities and other debt financings. For the past several quarters, global financial markets have experienced diminished liquidity, constrained credit availability and volatility in securities prices. If our sources of liquidity do not satisfy our requirements, we may have to seek additional financing. The future availability of financing will depend on a variety of factors, such as economic and market conditions, the availability of credit and our credit ratings, as well as the possibility that lenders could develop a negative perception of us or the retail industry generally. If required, we may not be able to obtain additional financing, on favorable terms, or at all.

Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of the risks associated with acquisitions and investments. In particular, we may not succeed in making additional acquisitions or be effective in integrating such acquisitions.

As part of our growth strategy, we have made and expect to continue to make acquisitions. We frequently evaluate the tactical or strategic opportunities available related to complementary businesses, products or technologies. The process of integrating an acquired company’s business into our operations and/or of investing in new technologies, may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and large expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business, and which may result in the loss of key customers and/or personnel and expose us to unanticipated liabilities.

Other risks commonly encountered with acquisitions include the effect of the acquisition on our financial and strategic position and reputation, the failure of the acquired business to further our strategies, the inability to successfully integrate or commercialize acquired technologies and achieve expected synergies or economies of scale on a timely basis, and the potential impairment of acquired assets. Further, we may not be able to retain the key employees that may be necessary to operate the business we acquire, and, we may not be able to timely attract new skilled employees and management to replace them. From time to time, we may also need to acquire complementary technologies, whether to execute our strategies or in order to comply with customer needs. There are no assurances that we will be able to acquire or successfully integrate an acquired company, business or technology, or successfully leverage such complementary technology in the market.

Moreover, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or investment will be realized. Future acquisitions or investments could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in making additional acquisitions or effective in integrating such acquisitions into our existing business. We may also compete with others to acquire companies, and such competition may result in decreased availability of, or increased prices for, suitable acquisition candidates. In addition, for possible commercial and economic considerations, we may not be able to consummate acquisitions that we have identified as crucial to the implementation of our strategy. We may not be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, including those of competition authorities and foreign investment authorities, in countries where we seek to consummate acquisitions. For those and other reasons, we may ultimately fail to consummate an acquisition, even if we announce that we plan to acquire a company.

20


The industry in which we operate is characterized by rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards, and if we cannot anticipate and react to such changes our results may suffer.

The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products embodying new technology and the emergence of new industry standards can exert pricing pressure on existing products and/or can render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. It is critical to our success that, in all of our markets, we are able to:

  • anticipate and respond to changes in technology and industry standards;
     
  • successfully develop and introduce new, enhanced, and competitive products which meet our customers’ changing needs; and
     
  • deliver these new and enhanced products on a timely basis while adhering to our high quality standards.

We may not be able to successfully develop new products or introduce new applications for existing products. In addition, new products and applications that we introduce may not achieve market acceptance. If we are unable to introduce new products that address the needs of our customers or that achieve market acceptance, there may be a material adverse impact on our revenue and on our financial results.

Because many of our solutions are sophisticated, we must invest greater resources in sales and installation processes with greater risk of loss if we are not successful.

In many cases, it is necessary for us to educate our potential customers about the benefits and value of our solutions because many of our solutions are not simple, mass-market items with which customers are already familiar. In addition, many of our solutions are sophisticated and may not be readily usable by customers without our assistance in training, system integration, and configuration. The greater need to work with and educate customers as part of the sales process and, after completion of a sale, during the installation process for many of our products, increases the time and difficulty of completing transactions, makes it more difficult to efficiently deploy limited resources, and creates risk that we will have invested in an opportunity that ultimately does not come to fruition. If we are unable to demonstrate the benefits and value of our solutions to customers and efficiently convert our sales leads into successful sales and installations, our results may be adversely affected.

Many of our sales are made by competitive bid, which often requires us to expend significant resources, which we may not recoup.

Many of our sales, particularly in larger installations, are made by competitive bid. Successfully competing in competitive bidding situations subjects us to risks associated with the frequent need to bid on programs in advance of the completion of their design, which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns, as well as making substantial investments of time and money in research and development and marketing activities for contracts that may not be awarded to us. If we do not ultimately win a bid, we may obtain little or no benefit from these expenditures and may not be able to recoup these costs on future projects.

Even where we are not involved in a competitive bidding process, due to the intense competition in our markets and increasing customer demand for shorter delivery periods, we must in some cases begin the implementation of a project before the corresponding order has been finalized, increasing the risk that we will have to write off expenses associated with potential orders that do not come to fruition.

21


The nature of our business and our varying business models may impact and make it difficult for us to predict our operating results.

It is difficult for us to forecast the timing of revenue from product sales because customers often need a significant amount of time to evaluate our products before a purchase, and sales are dependent on budgetary and, in the case of government customers, other bureaucratic processes. The period between initial customer contact and a purchase by a customer may vary from as little as a few weeks to more than a year. During the evaluation period, customers may defer or scale down proposed orders for various reasons, including:

  • changes in budgets and purchasing priorities;
     
  • reductions in need to upgrade existing systems;
     
  • deferrals in anticipation of enhanced or new products;
     
  • introduction of new products by our competitors; or
     
  • lower prices offered by our competitors.

In addition, we have historically derived a significant portion of our revenue from contracts for large system installations with major customers and we continue to emphasize sales to larger customers in our product development and marketing strategies. The timing and scope of these opportunities are difficult to forecast, and the pricing and margins may vary substantially from transaction to transaction. As a result, our future operating results may be volatile and vary significantly from period to period.

Contracts for large installations are often with government agencies, state-owned companies and large industrial concerns and are awarded after published requests for proposals, or tenders, and the submission of written bids. The requests for proposals generally set out qualifications which must be satisfied by all bidders, determined on the basis of technical qualification submissions. If a bidder is determined to be qualified, then a subsequent bid is submitted including price and other terms of performance. Competing bids are examined and evaluated by the prospective customer and a winning bidder is chosen. The time required for this process varies but can take several months and even years on larger projects. Once work is commenced, the customer generally is invoiced according to contractual milestones, with the final payment due after commissioning, testing and acceptance by the customer.

All of our contracts with government customers are fully funded. While we have no single customer that is material to our total revenue, we do have many significant customers. The deferral or loss of one or more significant orders or customers or a delay in an expected implementation of such an order could materially adversely affect our segment operating results.

Under applicable accounting standards and guidance, revenue for some of our software and hardware transactions is recognized at the time of delivery, while revenue from other software and hardware transactions is required to be deferred over a period of years. To a large extent, this depends on the terms we offer to customers and resellers, including terms relating to pricing, future deliverables, and post-contract customer support . As a result, it is difficult for us to accurately predict at the outset of a given period how much of our future revenue will be recognized within that period and how much will be required to be deferred over a longer period.

We base our current and future expense levels on our internal operating plans and sales forecasts, and our operating costs are, to a large extent, fixed. As a result, we may not be able to sufficiently reduce our operating costs in any period to compensate for an unexpected near-term shortfall in revenue.

Our past results may not be indicative of our future performance so evaluating our business and prospects may be difficult.

Our sales revenue grew from approximately $5.3 million in 2009 to $7.9 million in 2010 and $8.3 million in 2011. We are a relatively young company and our revenue is heavily dependent on a small number of large customers. Our historical operating results therefore may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects, and you should not rely on our past results or our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance.

22


Our products may contain undetected defects which could impair their market acceptance and may result in customer claims for substantial damages if our products fail to perform properly.

Our products are complex and involve sophisticated technology that performs critical functions to highly demanding standards. Our existing and future products may develop operational problems. In addition, new products or new versions of existing products may contain undetected defects or errors. If we do not discover such defects, errors, or other operational problems until after a product has been released and used by the customer, we may incur significant costs to correct such defects, errors, or other operational problems, including product liability claims or other contract liabilities to customers. In addition, defects or errors in our products may result in claims for substantial damages and questions regarding the integrity of the products, which could cause adverse publicity and impair their market acceptance.

If the regulatory environment does not evolve as expected or does not favor our products, our results may suffer.

The regulatory environment relating to our solutions is still evolving and, in the homeland security market in particular, has been driven to a significant extent by legislative and regulatory actions, such as standards established by ETSI in Europe, as well as initiatives to strengthen security for critical infrastructure, such as airports. These actions and initiatives are evolving and are at all times subject to change based on factors beyond our control, such as political climate, budgets, and even current events. While we attempt to anticipate these actions and initiatives through our product offerings and refinements thereto, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in these efforts, that our competitors will not do so more successfully than us, or that changes in these actions or initiatives or the underlying factors which affect them will not occur which will reduce or eliminate this demand. If any of the foregoing should occur, or if our markets do not grow as anticipated for any other reason, our results may suffer. In addition, changes to these actions or initiatives, including changes to technical requirements, may require us to modify or redesign our products in order to maintain compliance, which may subject us to significant additional expense.

Conversely, as the telecommunications industry continues to evolve, state, federal, and foreign governments (including supranational government organizations such as the European Union) and industry associations may increasingly regulate the monitoring of telecommunications and telephone or internet monitoring and recording products such as ours. We believe that increases in regulation could come in a number of forms, including increased regulations regarding privacy or protection of personal information such as social security numbers, credit card information, and employment records. The adoption of these types of regulations or changes to existing regulations could cause a decline in the use of our solutions or could result in increased expense for us if we must modify our solutions to comply with these regulations. Moreover, these types of regulations could subject our customers or us to liability. Whether or not these kinds of regulations are adopted, if we do not adequately address the privacy concerns of consumers, companies may be hesitant to use our solutions. If any of these events occur, our business could be materially adversely affected.

Because we have significant foreign operations, we are subject to geopolitical and other risks that could materially adversely affect our business.

We have significant operations in foreign countries. The countries in which we have our most significant foreign operations include India, Italy, Nepal and Mozambique, and we intend to continue to expand our operations internationally. We believe our business may suffer if we are unable to successfully expand into new regions, as well as maintain and expand existing foreign operations. Our foreign operations are, and any future foreign expansion will be, subject to a variety of risks, many of which are beyond our control, including risks associated with:

  • foreign currency fluctuations;

23


  • political, security, and economic instability in foreign countries; 
     
  • changes in and compliance with local laws and regulations, including export control laws, tax laws, labor laws, employee benefits, customs requirements, currency restrictions, and other requirements;
     
  • differences in tax regimes and potentially adverse tax consequences of operating in foreign countries;
     
  • customizing products for foreign countries;
     
  • legal uncertainties regarding liability and intellectual property rights;
     
  • hiring and retaining qualified foreign employees; and
     
  • difficulty in accounts receivable collection and extended collection periods.

Any or all of these factors could materially affect our business or results of operations.

We are dependent on contracts with governments for a significant portion of our revenue and these contracts also expose us to additional business risks and compliance obligations.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 15.5% of our business was generated from contracts with various governments, including federal, state, and lower-level government agencies. We expect that government contracts will continue to be a significant source of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Our business generated from government contracts may be materially adversely affected if:

  • our reputation or relationship with government agencies is impaired;
     
  • we are suspended or otherwise prohibited from contracting with the Indian or other foreign government or law enforcement agency;
     
  • levels of government expenditures and authorizations for law enforcement and security related programs decrease or shift to programs in areas where we do not provide products and services;
     
  • we are prevented from entering into new government contracts or extending existing government contracts based on violations or suspected violations of laws or regulations, including those related to procurement;
     
  • we are not granted security clearances that are required to sell our products to Indian or foreign governments or such security clearances are deactivated;
     
  • there is a change in government procurement procedures; or
     
  • there is a change in political climate that adversely affects our existing or prospective relationships or
     
  • there is a change in strategy and all software is to be developed internally by government personnel.

In addition, we must comply with Indian and other foreign laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration, and performance of government contracts. These laws and regulations affect how we do business with government agencies and may impose added costs on our business. Our government contracts may contain, or under applicable law may be deemed to contain, provisions not typically found in private commercial contracts, including provisions enabling the government party to:

  • terminate or cancel existing contracts for convenience;
     
  • suspend us from doing business with a foreign government or prevent us from selling our products in certain countries;
     
  • audit and object to our contract-related costs and expenses, including allocated indirect costs; and

24


  • unilaterally change contract terms and conditions, including warranty provisions, schedule, quantities, and scope of work, in advance of our agreement on corresponding pricing adjustments.

The effect of these provisions may significantly increase our cost to perform the contract or defer our ability to recognize revenue from such contracts. In some cases, this may mean that we must begin recording expenses on a contract in advance of being able to recognize the corresponding revenue. If a government customer terminates a contract with us for convenience, we may not recover our incurred or committed costs, receive any settlement of expenses, or earn a profit on work completed prior to the termination. If a government customer terminates a contract for default, we may not recover these amounts, and, in addition, we may be liable for any costs incurred by the government customer in procuring undelivered items and services from another source. Further, an agency within a government may share information regarding our termination with other agencies. As a result, our ongoing or prospective relationships with other government agencies could be impaired.

If our subcontractors fail to perform their contractual obligations, our ability to provide services and products to our customers, as well as our ability to obtain future business, may be harmed.

Many of our contracts involve subcontracts with other companies upon which we rely to perform a portion of the services that we must provide to our customers. There is a risk that we may have disputes with our subcontractors, including disputes regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by those subcontractors. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations to our customers, could expose us to liability and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers, and if these relationships are interrupted, we may not be able to obtain substitute suppliers or manufacturers on favorable terms or at all.

We rely on non-affiliated suppliers for certain components which may be critical to our products, including both hardware and software, and on manufacturers of assemblies that are incorporated into our products. While we endeavor to use larger, more established suppliers and manufacturers wherever possible, in some cases, these providers may be smaller, more early-stage companies, particularly with respect to suppliers of new technologies we may incorporate into our products that we have not developed internally. Although we do have agreements in place with most of these providers, which include appropriate protections such as source code escrows where needed, these agreements are generally not long-term and these contractual protections offer limited practical benefits to us in the event our relationship with a key provider is interrupted. If these suppliers or manufacturers experience financial, operational, manufacturing capacity, or quality assurance difficulties, or cease production and sale of the products we buy from them entirely, or there is any other disruption in our relationships with these suppliers or manufacturers, we will be required to locate alternative sources of supply or manufacturing, to internally develop the applicable technologies, to redesign our products to accommodate an alternative technology, or to remove certain features from our products. This could increase the costs of, and create delays in, delivering our products or reduce the functionality of our products, which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

Our results of operations could materially deteriorate if we fail to attract, develop and retain qualified employees.

Our performance is dependent on attracting and retaining qualified employees who are able to meet the wants and needs of our customers. We believe our competitive advantage is providing unique solutions for each individual customer, which requires us to have highly trained and engaged employees. Our success depends in part upon our ability to attract, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees, including sales, service and administrative personnel. There is often intense competition to recruit highly skilled employees in the technology industry and the turnover rate is high. An inability to attract and retain highly qualified employees may have an adverse effect on our ability to develop new products and enhancements for existing products and to successfully market such products. Further, if we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, on reasonable economic and other terms or at all, our ability to grow could be impaired, our ability to timely report our financial results could be adversely affected, and our operations and financial results could be materially adversely affected.

25


Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lost their services.

Our future success heavily depends on the continued service of our senior executives and other key employees. In particular, we rely on the expertise, experience, and business contacts of Ajay Batheja, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President; A.C. Narang, Vice President Government Strategy of Xalted Information; Luigi Caramico, Vice President Corporate Strategy; and Kamini Rupani, Vice President Marketing of Xalted Information. If one or more of our senior executives are unable or unwilling to continue to work for us in their present positions, we may have to spend a considerable amount of time and resources searching, recruiting, and integrating the replacements into our operations, which would substantially divert management’s attention from our business and severely disrupt our business. This may also adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy. Moreover, if any of our senior executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, suppliers and key employees.

We may not be able to receive or retain the necessary licenses or authorizations required for us to export some of our products that we develop or manufacture in specific countries.

We are required to obtain export licenses or qualify for other authorizations from India to export some of the products that we develop in the country and, in any event, are required to comply with applicable export control laws of each country generally. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining or maintaining the licenses and other authorizations required to export our products from applicable government authorities. In addition, export laws and regulations are revised from time to time and can be extremely complex in their application; if we are found not to have complied with applicable export control laws, we may be fined or penalized by, among other things, having our ability to obtain export licenses curtailed or eliminated, possibly for an extended period of time. Our failure to receive or maintain any required export licenses or authorizations or our penalization for failure to comply with applicable export control laws would hinder our ability to sell our products and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Indian and other foreign governments could refuse to buy our homeland security solutions or could deactivate our security clearances in their countries thereby restricting or eliminating our ability to sell these solutions in those countries and perhaps influenced other countries by such a decision.

We maintain security clearances in India and other countries in connection with the development, marketing, sale, and support of our homeland security solutions. These clearances are reviewed from time to time by the applicable government agencies in these countries and, following these reviews, our security clearances are either maintained or deactivated. Our security clearances can be deactivated for many reasons, including that the clearing agencies in some countries may object to the fact that we do business in certain other countries. In the event that our security clearances are deactivated in any particular country, we would lose the ability to sell our homeland security solutions in that country for projects that require security clearances. Additionally, any inability to obtain or maintain security clearances in a particular country may affect our ability to sell our homeland security solutions in that country generally (even for non-secure projects). Any inability to obtain or maintain clearances can materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Whether or not we are able to maintain our security clearances, law enforcement and intelligence agencies in certain countries may decline to purchase homeland security solutions if they were not developed or manufactured in that country. As a result, because our homeland security solutions are developed or manufactured in whole or in part in India, there may be certain countries where some or all of the law enforcement and intelligence agencies are unwilling to purchase our homeland security solutions. If we are unable to sell our homeland security solutions in certain countries for this reason, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The mishandling or even the perception of mishandling of sensitive information could harm our business.

Our products are in some cases used by customers to compile and analyze highly sensitive or confidential information and data, including in some cases, information or data used in intelligence gathering or law enforcement activities. Customers are also increasingly focused on the security of our products. While our customers’ use of our products in no way affords us access to the customer’s sensitive or confidential information or data, we may come into contact with such information or data when we perform services or support functions for our customers. We have implemented policies and procedures to help ensure the proper handling of such information and data, including background screening of services personnel, non-disclosure agreements, access rules, and controls on our information technology systems. We also work to ensure the security of our products, including through the use of encryption, access rights, and other customary security features. However, these measures are designed to mitigate the risks associated with handling or processing sensitive data and cannot safeguard against all risks at all times. The improper handling of sensitive data, or even the perception of such mishandling or other security lapses or risks by us or our products, whether or not valid, could reduce demand for our products or otherwise expose us to financial or reputational harm.

26


Our intellectual property may not be adequately protected.

We have not filed any patent applications on our technology, and there can be no assurance that we will file any patent, trademark, or copyright applications, that any future applications will be approved, that any existing or future patents, trademarks or copyrights will adequately protect our intellectual property or that any existing or future patents, trademarks, or copyrights will not be challenged by third parties. Our intellectual property rights may not be successfully asserted in the future or may be invalidated, designed around, or challenged.

In order to safeguard our unpatented proprietary know-how, source code, trade secrets, and technology, we rely primarily upon trade secret protection and non-disclosure provisions in agreements with employees and other third parties having access to our confidential information. There can be no assurance that these measures will adequately protect us from improper disclosure or misappropriation of our proprietary information.

Preventing unauthorized use or infringement of our intellectual property rights is difficult. The laws of certain countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of India. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions we may be unable to protect our intellectual property adequately against unauthorized third-party use or infringement, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

Our products may infringe or may be alleged to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which could lead to costly disputes or disruptions for us and may require us to indemnify our customers and resellers for any damages they suffer.

The technology industry is characterized by frequent allegations of intellectual property infringement. Any allegation of infringement against us could be time consuming and expensive to defend or resolve, result in substantial diversion of management resources, cause product shipment delays, or force us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If patent holders or other holders of intellectual property initiate legal proceedings against us, we may be forced into protracted and costly litigation, regardless of the merits of these claims. We may not be successful in defending such litigation, in part due to the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property litigation, and may not be able to procure any required royalty or license agreements on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Third parties may also assert infringement claims against our customers. Subject to certain limitations, we generally indemnify our customers and resellers with respect to infringement by our products of the proprietary rights of third parties. These claims may require us to initiate or defend protracted and costly litigation, regardless of the merits of these claims. If any of these claims succeed, we may be forced to pay damages, be required to obtain licenses for the products our customers use, or incur significant expenses in developing non-infringing alternatives. If we cannot obtain all necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our customers may be forced to stop using or, in the case of resellers, stop selling our products.

Reliance on or loss of third-party licensing agreements could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

While most of our products are developed internally, we also purchase technology, license intellectual property rights, and oversee third-party development and localization of certain products or components. If we lose or are unable to maintain licenses or distribution rights, we could incur additional costs or experience unexpected delays until an alternative solution can be internally developed or licensed from another third party and integrated into our products or we may be forced to redesign our products or remove certain features from our products. We rely on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers, and if these relationships are interrupted, we may not be able to obtain substitute suppliers or manufacturers on favorable terms or at all” above for additional information. Additionally, when purchasing or licensing products and services from third parties, we endeavor to negotiate appropriate warranties, indemnities, and other protections. We cannot assure you, however, that all such third-party contracts contain adequate protections or that all such third parties will be able to provide the protections we have negotiated. To the extent we are not able to negotiate adequate protections from these third parties or these third parties are unwilling or unable to provide the protections we have negotiated, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

27


Use of free or open source software could expose our products to unintended restrictions and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Some of our products contain free or open source software and we anticipate making use of open source software in the future. Open source software is generally covered by license agreements that permit the user to use, copy, modify, and distribute the software without cost, provided that the users and modifiers abide by certain licensing requirements. The original developers of the open source software generally provide no warranties on such software or protections in the event the open source software infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights. Although we endeavor to monitor the use of open source software in our product development, we cannot assure you that past, present, or future products will not contain open source software elements that impose unfavorable licensing restrictions or other requirements on our products. In addition, the terms of many open source software licenses have not yet been interpreted by Indian or foreign courts and as a result there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on products that use such software. The introduction of certain kinds of open source software into our products or a court decision construing an open source software license in an unexpected way could require us to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering affected products, to re-engineer affected products, to discontinue sales of affected products, or to release all or portions of the source code of affected products under the terms of the applicable open source software licenses. Any of these developments could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have no insurance coverage in India, and any business disruption or litigation we experience may result in our incurring substantial costs and the diversion of resources.

Insurance companies in India offer limited business interruption and liability insurance. While business interruption insurance is available to a limited extent in India, we have determined that the risks of disruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms had made it economically impractical for us to have such insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability, disruption or litigation insurance coverage for our operations in India. Any business disruption or litigation may result in our incurring substantial costs and the diversion of resources.

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent auditors. If we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors with respect to our internal controls when we are required under applicable laws, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements which could affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on their internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing the financial statements of a company that is not a non-accelerated filer or smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act must also attest to the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. Since we just completed the acquisition of Xalted Networks on May 13, 2011, we have not evaluated Xalted Networks and its consolidated subsidiaries’ internal control systems in order to allow our management to report on our internal controls on a consolidated basis as required by these requirements of SOX 404. Under current law, we will be required to complete such evaluation and include the report of management in our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

28


We can provide no assurance that our management will conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, or that our independent registered public accounting firm will issue a positive opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting when we are required under applicable laws. In particular, we may have potential material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting due to our accounting staff’s relative lack of experience and knowledge of U.S. GAAP. Our accounting staffs have limited experience in preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and will require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP. We may also need to hire additional personnel who are experienced in U.S. GAAP.

Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could result in our not being able to accurately report our financial results, prevent or detect fraud or provide timely and reliable financial and other information pursuant to the reporting obligations we have as a public company, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, it could cause our investors to lose confidence in the information we report, which could adversely affect the price of our stock price.

Xalted Information is involved in a litigation in India which, if successful, could result in a material adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects.

In April 2010, a petition was filed against Xalted Information in the High Court of Karnataka at Bangalore by Arasor Corporation, or Arasor, a Delaware company. The High Court is the principal court of original jurisdiction in the Indian state of Karnataka, sitting in the city of Bangalore. The petition sought an order under Sections 433 and 434 of the Companies Act of 1956 for the winding up of Xalted Information, based on allegations that Xalted Information did not pay for communications equipment sold and shipped by Arasor. We maintain the Company never received the equipment which is alleged to have been shipped to us. This type of claim, and the type of relief sought, is not unusual in India.

The petition was heard by a single judge, sometimes also called a “Single Bench Judge,” in the High Court in Karnataka. Any judicial panel comprised of two judges in a given court is referred to in India as a “Division Bench.” The Single-Bench Judge found sufficient evidence to hold a hearing on Arasor’s complaint to “wind-up” Xalted Information on November 10, 2010. On December 14, 2010, Xalted Information filed an appeal of that decision before a Division Bench of the same High Court. On January 19, 2011, the two-judge Division Bench stayed the November 10, 2010 order of the Single Bench Judge and all further proceedings in the action filed by Arasor, pending the appeal.

After submission of written arguments, a hearing on the appeal was conducted in March 2011, a further hearing was set for June 9, 2011, and the earlier stay was continued during the pendency of the appeal. In June 2011, Xalted Information filed an additional application with the two-judge Division Bench to request dismissal of the claims against it on the basis that Arasor’s corporate status was “void” in Delaware and “forfeited” in California, and that Arasor therefore was without corporate power and authority to maintain or prosecute the action. On October 15, 2011, the Division Bench heard the appeal filed by Xalted Information and set aside the order of admission of the petition. The Division Bench Court determined that the order passed by the Single Judge Court did not fully take into consideration the defenses presented by Xalted Information and remanded the matter back to the Single Bench Judge to hear the evidence of both parties again, as to whether there was sufficient evidence to admit the petition for trial. The Divisional Bench Court also ruled that Xalted Information is permitted to raise all defenses, including the defense of the non-existence of Arasor Corporation. Xalted Information has petitioned the Single Bench Judge to hear the case as soon as possible. Arasor Corporation has requested a delay in the hearing, which the Singe Bench Judge granted until June 2012.

29


The Company’s India counsel has informed us they believe Xalted Information has a reasonably strong legal position and a good chance of success in of persuading the Single Bench Judge to refuse to admit the winding-up petition. If Xalted Information is not successful in that effort, it may appeal the admission of the petition to the Division Bench and, if necessary, to the Supreme Court. Should those appeals fail, the petition would be finally admitted and the matter would proceed to trial before the Single Bench Judge. Again, Xalted Information would have the opportunity to contest the claims made by Arasor. In the event of an adverse decision, Xalted Information would be entitled to appeal that decision to the Division Bench and, if necessary, to the Supreme Court. If all appeals were to fail, Xalted Information would be subject to judicial liquidation in India if it is unable to pay the amount of the judgment. If liquidation of the company were to be carried out, we would lose most of our operating assets, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Xalted Information is involved in a litigation in California which, if successful, could result in a material adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects.

In November 2011, a civil lawsuit was filed against Xalted Networks, in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County, by Empirix, Inc., a Delaware company, in the amount of $316,625. The lawsuit alleges that Xalted Networks purchased monitoring surveillance and analysis technology and products from Mutina Technology S.R.L., an Italian company, that is 100% owned by Empirix, Inc. We maintain that Xalted Networks, which was formed on March 14, 2011, could not have entered into a contractual relationship with Mutina Technology S.R.L. on August 17, 2009, as the Company did not exist. The Company’s California counsel has informed us they believe Xalted Networks has a strong legal position to have the lawsuit dismissed. If Xalted Networks is not successful in that effort, it may appeal the lawsuit to the California Courts of Appeal and the California Supreme Court. Should those appeals fail, Xalted Networks would be subject to a court action and would have to pay the amount of $316,625 which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN INDIA

A substantial portion of our assets and operations are located in India, and we are subject to regulatory, economic and political uncertainties in India.

Our principal operating subsidiary is incorporated in India, and a majority of our assets and our professionals are located in India. In the early 1990s, India experienced significant inflation, low growth in gross domestic product and shortages of foreign currency reserves. The Indian government, however, has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over many aspects of the Indian economy. India’s government has provided significant tax incentives and relaxed certain regulatory restrictions in order to encourage investment in specified sectors of the economy, including the telecom and homeland information security industries. Certain of those programs, which have benefited us, include tax holidays, liberalized import and export duties and preferential rules on foreign investment and repatriation. We cannot assure you that liberalization policies will continue. Various factors, such as changes in the current government, could trigger significant changes in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies and disrupt business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.

In addition, the Government of India is considering introducing a reservation policy to the private sector in India, pursuant to which all private sector companies operating in India, including our subsidiary, would be required to reserve a certain percentage of jobs for the economically underprivileged population in the states where such companies are incorporated. If this policy is adopted, our ability to hire employees of our choice may be affected due to restrictions on our pool of potential employees and competition for these professionals.

Our financial performance may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and economic and fiscal policy in India, including changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates and taxation policies, as well as social stability and political, economic or diplomatic developments affecting India in the future. In particular, India has experienced significant economic growth over the last several years, but faces major challenges in sustaining that growth in the years ahead. These challenges include the need for substantial infrastructure development and improving access to healthcare and education. Our ability to recruit, train and retain qualified employees, develop and operate our operations centers, and attract and retain clients could be adversely affected if India does not successfully meet these challenges.

30


Currency fluctuations among the Indian Rupee, the Euro and the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

A substantial portion of our revenues are denominated in Rupees or Euros. We report our financial results in U.S. dollars. The exchange rates among the Rupee and the U.S. dollar have changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. The average Rupee/US. Dollar exchange rate in 2011 was approximately 49.124 (based on information published by the US Internal Revenue Service), representing depreciation of the Rupee of 2.8% compared to the average exchange rate in 2010. The exchange rates among the Euro and the U.S. dollar also fluctuate. The average Euro/US. Dollar exchange rate in 2011 was approximately 0.748 (based on information published by the US Internal Revenue Service). representing appreciation of the Euro of 4.7% compared to the average exchange rate in 2010. We do not currently engage in any formal currency hedging of our foreign currency exposure, and our results of operations may be adversely affected if the Rupee or the Euro fluctuates significantly against the U.S. dollar. We are subject to legal restrictions on hedging activities as well as the convertibility of currencies in India. This could limit our ability to use cash generated in India in another country.

Our financial condition could be negatively affected if the Government of India reduces or withdraws tax benefits and other incentives currently provided to companies within our industry, or if the same are not available for other reasons.

Under the Income-Tax Act, 1961 of India, we have benefited from holidays from Indian corporate income taxes. We applied for and received tax holidays covering our telecom security business and our homeland security business. Both tax holidays were approved by the Government and run for a period of 10 years. The company also has a 10 year tax holiday for starting a new company in India in 2001. As a result, our service operations have to date been subject to relatively lower tax liabilities. We incurred minimal income tax expense in 2010 as a result of the tax holidays, compared to approximately $480,000 that we would have additionally incurred if the tax holidays had not been available for that period (without accounting for double taxation treaty set-offs). One of our tax holidays expired in 2011, and others will expire in 2015 and 2019. Consequently, our tax expense will materially increase in 2012 and our after-tax profitability will be materially reduced.

In May 2007, the Government of India adopted the Indian Finance Act, 2007, with effect from April 1, 2007, that imposed a minimum alternative tax, or MAT, on Indian companies that have book profits but no tax profit which could be for various reasons, including tax holidays, tax deductions or significant depreciation. Any MAT paid by us can be carried forward for a maximum period of ten years and can be used as a credit against corporate income taxes payable by us after expiration of the tax holiday, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

If more stringent labor laws or other industry standards in India become applicable to us, our profitability may be adversely affected.

India has stringent labor legislation that protects the interests of workers, including legislation that sets forth detailed procedures for dispute resolution and employee removal and legislation that imposes financial obligations on employers upon retrenchment. In addition, we are subject to certain industry standards regarding our employees, particularly with regard to overtime and transportation of employees. Our employees may also in the future form unions. If these labor laws or industry standards become more stringent or are more strictly enforced, or if our employees unionize, it may become difficult for us to maintain flexible human resource policies, discharge employees or downsize, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Government of India has recently focused on the occupational health and safety concerns experienced by workers in the outsourcing industry. The introduction of legislation imposing restrictions on working hours or conditions of professionals in the outsourcing industry could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Investors may have difficulty effecting service of process or enforcing judgments obtained in the United States against our subsidiary in India and Italy or our executive officers.

Our primary operating subsidiary and the majority of our operating assets are located in India. We also have operating subsidiaries and assets in Italy. As a result, you may be unable to effect service of process upon our affiliates who reside in India or Italy outside their jurisdiction of residence. In addition, you may be unable to enforce against these persons outside the jurisdiction of their residence judgments obtained in courts of the United States, including judgments predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States.

Sections 44A and Section 13 of the Indian Civil Procedure Code, 1908, or the Civil Code, govern recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Section 44A of the Civil Code provides for recognition and enforcement of a foreign judgment without having to file an original suit in India, provided such judgments have been rendered by courts in a country or territory outside India which the Government of India has declared to be a reciprocating territory. We have been advised by our Indian counsel that the United States and India do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than certain arbitration awards) in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not it is predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States, would not be enforceable in India as such.

However, if the party in whose favor such final judgment is rendered brings a new suit in a competent court in India based on a final judgment that has been obtained in the United States, Section 13 of the Civil Code provides that the foreign judgment will be conclusive as to certain matters. The suit must be brought in India within three years of the date of the foreign judgment. It is unlikely; however, that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a court in the United States if an action is brought in India. It is also unlikely that an Indian court would enforce judgments obtained in the United States if it viewed the amount of damages awarded as excessive or inconsistent with Indian practice.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence involving India could adversely affect the financial markets, result in a loss of client confidence and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could potentially lead to economic recession. Such events could precipitate sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles, as well as pose risks to our people and to our operations centers. At the same time, an increased level of terrorism and other acts of violence could lead to increased demand for our products. If India were to become engaged in armed hostilities, however, particularly hostilities that were protracted or involved the threat or use of nuclear weapons, we might not be able to continue to operate. Our insurance policies may not insure us against losses and interruptions caused by terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war.

An outbreak of an infectious disease or any other serious public health concerns in Asia or elsewhere could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The outbreak of an infectious disease in Asia or elsewhere or any other serious public health concerns could have a negative impact on the economies, financial markets and business activities in the countries in which our end markets are located, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Past outbreaks of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, avian influenza, or bird flu, or H1N1 across Asia and Europe have adversely affected a number of countries and companies. Although we have not been adversely impacted by these recent outbreaks, we can give no assurance that a future outbreak of an infectious disease among humans or animals or any other serious public health concerns will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are vulnerable to natural disasters that could severely disrupt the normal operation of our business and adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

India is susceptible to natural disasters, including typhoons, tsunamis, floods and earthquakes. Substantially all of our operations and employees are located in India. If our operations centers are damaged by a typhoon, tsunami, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, our operations and our ability to provide services to our clients could be interrupted or delayed significantly. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses. In addition, although all of our operations have access to other power sources, disaster management facilities in India may not be adequate to protect against potential losses. In addition, clients may terminate their contracts with us if we cannot resume providing services quickly enough. As a result, a natural disaster in India could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK GENERALLY

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The OTC Bulletin Board is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. We plan to list our common stock as soon as practicable. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain any such listing.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. Our common stock is a “penny stock” and is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market, thus possibly making it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

33


Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2. Description of Property

We currently lease 10 different office properties in four different locations in India with a total of 43,700 square feet of space. Each property is under a separate lease agreement comprised of a combination of administrative offices and areas that operate the Company’s servers and computers systems. The various lease agreements begin to expire in June 2011 through March 2015. For leases expiring in 2011, we have already begun the renewal negotiations. Under the current lease agreements, we pay an aggregate monthly rent of Rs. 2.8 million (approximately $64,000) per month. We believe that all leased space are in good condition and that the property is adequately insured by the owner. Through the two acquisitions in Italy, the Company has picked up two additional property leases. Alfa Sistemi Telemedia Srl. leases office, assembly and warehouse space at the cost of Euros 23,000 per annum. Adora ICT Srl. leases office space at the cost of Euros 36,700 per annum.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

(a)

In April 2010, a petition was filed against Xalted Information in the High Court of Karnataka at Bangalore by Arasor Corporation, or Arasor, a Delaware company. The High Court is the principal court of original jurisdiction in the Indian state of Karnataka, sitting in the city of Bangalore. The petition sought an order under Sections 433 and 434 of the Companies Act of 1956 for the winding up of Xalted Information, based on allegations that Xalted Information did not pay for communications equipment sold and shipped by Arasor. We maintain the Company never received the equipment which is alleged to have been shipped to us. This type of an aggregate amount of $4.5 million claim, and the type of relief sought, is not unusual in India.

   

The petition was heard by a single judge, sometimes also called a “Single Bench Judge,” in the High Court in Karnataka. Any judicial panel comprised of two judges in a given court is referred to in India as a “Division Bench.” The Single-Bench Judge found sufficient evidence to hold a hearing on Arasor’s complaint to “wind- up” Xalted Information on November 10, 2010. On December 14, 2010, Xalted Information filed an appeal of that decision before a Division Bench of the same High Court. On January 19, 2011, the two-judge Division Bench stayed the November 10, 2010 order of the Single Bench Judge and all further proceedings in the action filed by Arasor, pending the appeal.

   

After submission of written arguments, a hearing on the appeal was conducted in March 2011, a further hearing was set for June 9, 2011, and the earlier stay was continued during the pendency of the appeal. In June 2011, Xalted Information filed an additional application with the two-judge Division Bench to request dismissal of the claims against it on the basis that Arasor’s corporate status was “void” in Delaware and “forfeited” in California, and that Arasor therefore was without corporate power and authority to maintain or prosecute the action. On October 15, 2011, the Division Bench heard the appeal filed by Xalted Information and set aside the order of admission of the petition. The Division Bench Court determined that the order passed by the Single Judge Court did not fully take into consideration the defenses presented by Xalted Information and remanded the matter back to the Single Bench Judge to hear the evidence of both parties again, as to whether there was sufficient evidence to admit the petition for trial. The Divisional Bench Court also ruled that Xalted Information is permitted to raise all defenses, including the defense of the non-existence of Arasor Corporation. Xalted Information has petitioned the Single Bench Judge to hear the case as soon as possible. Arasor Corporation has requested a delay in the hearing, which the Singe Bench Judge granted until June 2012.

34



The Company’s India counsel has informed us they believe Xalted Information has a reasonably strong legal position and a good chance of success in of persuading the Single Bench Judge to refuse to admit the winding- up petition. If Xalted Information is not successful in that effort, it may appeal the admission of the petition to the Division Bench and, if necessary, to the Supreme Court. Should those appeals fail, the petition would be finally admitted and the matter would proceed to trial before the Single Bench Judge. Again, Xalted Information would have the opportunity to contest the claims made by Arasor. In the event of an adverse decision, Xalted Information would be entitled to appeal that decision to the Division Bench and, if necessary, to the Supreme Court. If all appeals were to fail, Xalted Information would be subject to judicial liquidation in India if it is unable to pay the amount of the judgment. If liquidation of the company were to be carried out, we would lose most of our operating assets, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

   
(b)

In November 2011, a civil lawsuit was filed against Xalted Networks, in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County, by Empirix, Inc., a Delaware company, in the amount of $316,625. The lawsuit alleges that Xalted Networks purchased monitoring surveillance and analysis technology and products from Mutina Technology S.R.L., an Italian company, that is 100% owned by Empirix, Inc. We maintain that Xalted Networks, which was formed on March 14, 2011, could not have entered into a contractual relationship with Mutina Technology S.R.L. on August 17, 2009, as the Company did not exist.

   

On January 5, 2012, Xalted Networks filed a Notice of Demurrer in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County, to have the civil action against Xalted Networks dismissed based upon the fact that the Company did not exist at the time that the contractual arrangement allegedly occurred. The hearing to determine the Notice of Demurrer will likely occur in June 2012.

   

The Company’s California counsel has informed us that he believes Xalted Networks has a strong legal position and a good chance of success in persuading the Superior Court of California to dismiss the lawsuit. If Xalted Networks is not successful in that effort, it may appeal the lawsuit to the California Courts of Appeal and the California Supreme Court. Should those appeals fail, Xalted Networks would be subject to a court action and would have to pay the amount of $316,625 and it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are currently not aware of any other legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends. If our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, is intended to help the reader understand our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in “Item 8.

Overview

Through our operating subsidiaries, Xalted Information, Alfa Sistemi and Adora, we provide advanced software solutions that enable companies and public organizations, including governments and law enforcement agencies, to capture, manage and analyze structured and unstructured data to enhance business and operational performance and address security threats. We have one business segment: telecom market solutions. The two principal markets that our software solutions address are the telecom market and the homeland security market. We include law enforcement as part of the homeland security market. Our current and past geographic focus is on India and Italy with a few customers in Southeast Asia. The Company is beginning to make in-roads into new countries in Africa and the Middle East.

Our software products are developed internally. In some cases we incorporate software licensed from Oracle Corporation, BMC Corporation or other third-party suppliers specified by our customers. Our software is licensed to our customers and is sometimes delivered with hardware products at the time of sale.

In the telecom market, we provide four software modules that address different aspects of the telecom market: revenue maximization, revenue assurance, fraud management and OSS/BSS (short for operations support systems and business support systems). The revenue maximization module allows a telecom service provider to identify trends in the usage of various services provided, so that it can tailor its service offering to maximize revenue. Revenue assurance locates potential users that are trying to use portions of the telecom service provider’s system capabilities without being a valid user of those services. The software module identifies illegal users, allowing the telecom service provider to take appropriate measures, generally comprised of locking the user out of a specific service or service package within the service network. The fraud management system module, or FMS, identifies a larger scale attempted use of the telecom service provider’s network by an individual or individuals who are not valid network users. The operations support systems, or OSS, and business support systems, or BSS, are business management tools that allow a telecom service provider to develop and deploy a new service offering more rapidly. The module automatically accounts for potential equipment limitations in the roll-out of a new service offering. The term OSS is commonly used to describe network systems dealing with the telecom network itself, as well as supporting processes such as maintaining network inventory, provisioning services, configuring network components and managing faults.

Our telecom customers include major telecom companies and organizations in India, such as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd., or BSNL, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited, or MTNL, and the Centre for Development of Telematics, or CDOT, the telecom technology development center of the government of India. BSNL is India’s oldest and largest communications service provider and one of its largest cellular service providers. It has footprints throughout India, except for the metropolitan cities of Mumbai and New Delhi, which are managed by MTNL. Telecom customers outside of India include Mozambique Cellular, or Mcel, Nepal Telecom, Nepal Satellite Telecom, Telecom Italia and Hutchison 3G.

In the homeland security market, our security solutions are used by governments and law enforcement agencies in their efforts to protect people and property and combat terrorism and crime. Our homeland security customers include the national government of India and local and regional law enforcement agencies and bodies in India, such as the Anti-Terrorist Squads in Mumbai, Maharashtra and Goa, the STF or special task force in Uttarakand, and the Cyber Crime division of the Thane District Police.

Our sales consist of licenses of software, as well as, in some cases, service fees for installation, commissioning, testing, training and/or ongoing technical support for our software modules. The terms of our licenses with our customers vary widely, but typically include progress payments based on delivery, installation and/or performance benchmarks, and a final payment after commissioning, testing and acceptance by the customer.

Our two new Italian operating subsidiaries are in similar markets to that of Kranem and offer good opportunities to expand the Company’s software products to their customer base. Additionally, they possess unique knowledge of the enterprise security space, which will help the Company to make inroads into that market space. The Company acquired a sales channel, customers and technical know-how with the acquisitions of Adora ICT and Alfa Sistemi Telemedia.

Our corporate headquarters are located in San Jose, California. We also have two operational centers in India. The telecom security operations group is located in Bangaluru, India. The homeland security operations are located in Mumbai, India. The Company’s sales offices are located in Delhi, India. We also have two operating subsidiaries in Rome, Italy.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

  • Information technology spending. We are heavily dependent on our customers’ decisions with regard to spending on information technology. As a general proposition, spending in this area is considered important by our customers, including our government customers, but can be affected adversely by changes in national, regional and global economic conditions.
     
  • Product offering and pricing. Our business depends, in large part, on our ability to successfully introduce new products, services and technologies to consumers, the frequency of such introductions, the level of consumer acceptance, and the related impact on the demand for existing products, services and technologies. We strive to offer new products to address changing consumer tastes and preferences and intend to maintain competitive pricing in order to gain additional market share and revenue growth.
     
  • Market acceptance of our homeland security solutions. Our homeland security solutions are in an early market stage where the value of our products and services is still in the process of gaining market acceptance. We believe that our future growth depends in part on the continued and increasing acceptance of the value of our homeland security solutions.
     
  • Global and regional security concerns. Much of our business consists of providing software solutions to government and private agencies to deal with security and law enforcement concerns, including domestic and international terrorism. To the extent our customers are located in regions around the world where crime, terrorism and other national security concerns are on the rise, we would anticipate an increased demand for our products and services.
     
  • Political instability. In many regions of the world, political instability is accompanied by heightened concerns relating to domestic and international security. To the extent our customers are located in these regions, we would anticipate an increased demand for our products.

Taxation

Kranem Corporation and Xalted Networks are subject to United States taxes. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as these companies have no material taxable net income in the United States.

In India the corporate income tax rate for an Indian company is a flat rate of 30%. For companies with a gross revenue in excess of Rs. 10,000,000 (approximately $226,400), there is a 5% surcharge. There is also an education fee of 3%, which is applied to both the corporate tax and surcharge. The combination of these three corporate taxation items produces an effective tax rate for Indian companies with gross revenue in excess of Rs. 10,000,000 of 32.5% . Due to the various tax holidays enjoyed by Xalted Information, it is currently paying a corporate tax rate of approximately 12%. However, the current tax rate will begin to increase during 2011 as the first of the tax holidays begins to expire. Based on the Indian corporate tax rate and the distribution of income among our business units, we believe that our average tax rate across all our Indian business units will rise gradually from about 20% in 2011 to 30% in 2019.

Xalted Information has ongoing disputes with Indian income tax authorities relating to tax treatment of certain items. These mainly include disallowed expenses, tax treatment of certain expenses claimed by Xalted Information as deductions, and computation of, or eligibility for certain tax incentives or allowances. Xalted Information is contesting the Income Tax Officer’s order for the denial of Section 10A benefits claimed by it under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. The estimated contingency amounts to $224,949 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and $141,592 as on December 31, 2009. We believe Xalted Information has strong merits for this petition and hence we anticipate that it will not have the material adverse affect on Xalted Information’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

We recorded net income of $1,317,861 and $1,999,371 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. On a basic and diluted per share basis, net income was $0.03 for the year December 31, 2011 compared to net income of $0.09 for the year ended December 31, 2010. We may incur net losses in future periods due to future spending and fluctuations in our business, and we may not achieve or maintain sustained profitability in the future.

Revenues. We generate revenues from sales of our integrated information security products and through the related after-sales services. Our revenues were $8,316,244 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $7,922,315 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of two businesses and software intellectual property that provided the increase in revenue.

Cost of revenue. Our cost of revenue primarily consists of the purchase of third party software and deployment costs. Our cost of revenue was $3,554,626 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $4,075,434 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Cost of revenue decreased $520,808 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to lower installation and start-up costs associated with a couple of projects in 2011.

Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our revenues and our cost of revenue. Our gross profit was $4,761,617 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $3,846,881 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our gross profit increased $914,736 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the gross margin was directly attributable to an increase in revenue and a slight reduction in installation and start-up costs.

Selling and marketing expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales and marketing staffs, business travels after-sale support, transportation costs and other sales related costs. Our selling and marketing expenses were $477,127 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $418,451 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our selling and marketing expenses increased by $58,676 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase is attributable to the acquisition of two businesses in Italy.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our general management, finance and administrative staff, professional advisor fees, audit fees and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our general and administrative expenses were $1,853,281 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $545,648 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $1,307,633 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the general and administrative expenses is approximately 65% associated with the recapitalization that we completed on May 13, 2011.

40


Total other income (expenses). We had $211,301 in total other income in the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $395,744 in total other income in the year ended December 31, 2010.

Income before income taxes. Our income before income taxes decreased by $590,642 to $684,904 for the year ended December 31, 2011, from $2,275,546 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in income before income taxes is attributable to a combination of higher operating expenses and lower total other income during 2011.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased by $90,868 to $367,043 for the year ended December 31, 2011, from $276,175 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in income tax expense was due primarily to the increase in the Company’s tax rate at its Indian subsidiary, Xalted Information. The increased tax rate was associated with the expiration of certain tax benefits in India.

Net income. As a result of the factors described above, net income decreased by $681,510 to $1,317,861 for the year ended December 31, 2011, from $1,999,371 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $420,011, compared to $545,374 as of December 31, 2010. In addition, we had other financial assets available for sale of $0 at December 31, 2011, compared to $172,538 at December 31, 2010. These other financial assets were comprised of shares of publicly traded mutual funds. We sold our entire investment in those funds prior to December 31, 2011. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, augmented by equity contributions by our stockholders. We do not anticipate the need to repatriate any material amounts of the cash, cash equivalents and financial assets to the United States, but to the extent amounts are repatriated, we would become subject to tax in the United States on such amounts.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Cash Flow

Operating Activities

The Company had $2,791,073 and $2,728,869 of accounts receivable that had been outstanding for more than a year as on December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, out of which $216,284 and $216,284 was covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts as on December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our accounts receivable in India are entirely from customers which are either government agencies or sales to companies selling to government agencies or government-owned entities. The age of our receivables is not unusual in government-related commercial transactions in India, although it would be unusual in purely private situations. We do not anticipate the age of these receivables and this pattern in government contracting in India to have an adverse impact on our growth because we have taken these patterns into account in our forward planning.

41


Net cash generated from operating activities was $369,921 during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $(1,187,623) during the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in net cash generated by our operating activities was mainly due to the Company’s profitability in 2011.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $(8,845,304) during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1,189,878 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities in 2011 is attributable in part to the recapitalization of the Company on May 13, 2011, but also the acquisition of two companies in Italy and intellectual property from the British Virgin Islands.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $8,144,637 during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $0 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities in 2011 is attributable to an increase in capital contributions as a result of the recapitalization of the Company on May 13, 2011, the acquisition of two companies in Italy and the acquisition of intellectual property.

Loan Commitments

As of December 31, 2011, the Company does not have any loan commitments, except for a one-year convertible promissory amount in the principal amount of $400,000, held by Investco, a British Virgin Islands company, having a maturity date of June 29, 2012, a short-term promissory note to Xalted Holding in the remaining principal amount of $35,000, with a maturity date of October 16, 2012, a short-term convertible promissory note to Empire Capital Partners, L.P. in the principle amount of $250,000 with a maturity date of March 19, 2012, and promissory note to the shareholders of Alfa Sistemi Telemedia Srl. in the principle amount of $800,000 due upon the completion of a capital increase. There are two promissory notes due to the owners of Adora ICT Srl. in the principle amount of  approximately $500,000 each. The exact amount of the Adora promissory notes will not be known until full year’s audit of Adora’s 2011 financial performance is completed. Upon completion of the 2011 audit the first promissory note will be due and payable upon the completion of a capital raise. The second promissory note will not be due and paid until after the 2012 audit has been completed.

Acquisitions

On November 30, 2011, the Company completed the Acquisition of the Alfa Sistemi from its shareholders. The purchase price for the Acquisition was $1.0 million, and there are no adjustments to be applied to the purchase price. The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the change of control, November 1, 2011. Results of operations for the acquired companies have been reflected in the Company’s financial statements from the day that control was assumed by company, November 1, 2011.

42


On December 21, 2011, the Company completed the Acquisition of the Adora ICT from its shareholders. The purchase price for the Acquisition was approximately $2.0 million, reflecting a base purchase price of $2.0 million less an adjustment after the audit of the 2012 fiscal year is completed for a potential performance related adjustment. The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the change of control, November 1, 2011. Results of operations for the acquired companies have been reflected in the Company’s financial statements from the day that control was assumed by company, November 1, 2011.

Obligations under Material Contracts

We have no other long term debt, capital or operating lease or fixed purchase obligations.

Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in our industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introduction.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, 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. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Basis of preparation: The financial statements of Xalted are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars ($). The financial statements are prepared for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011 with comparatives for the previous calendar year December 31, 2010. The purpose of preparation of these financial statements is for submission to the parent company for consolidation purpose. For the two acquisitions in Italy, It will be the first time that their financial statements are prepared as per US GAAP, the balances of assets and liabilities as on November 1, 2011 have been reinstated to conform with the recognition and measurement principles of US GAAP.

43


Use of estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as on the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Examples of such estimates include: project completion dates, time and cost required to complete projects for purposes of revenue recognition and future revenue, expense and cash flow estimates for purposes of impairment analysis and loss contract evaluation, allowance for doubtful debts, obligations under employee benefit plans, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, useful lives of premises and equipment (fixed assets) and income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Foreign Currency:

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The reporting and functional currency of the Company is United States dollars (US$). Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in foreign jurisdictions and as a result, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk on some of its activities primarily on exchange fluctuations between the Indian Rupee (Rs) and the US$. We have reported this risk under the Risk Factor titled “Currency fluctuations among the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.” In the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income, the Company reported positive results associated with the impact of foreign exchange between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. Dollar on the Company’s assets. In the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 the Company had a negative currency impact of ($126,820) and in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 the Company had a positive currency impact of $16,609. In the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income, the Company reported negative results associated with the impact of foreign exchange between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar on the Company’s assets.

Initial measurement: The transactions in foreign currency are recorded in functional currency at the exchange rates between foreign currency and functional currency prevailing as on the date of the transactions.

Subsequent measurement: Foreign Currency monetary Assets and liabilities are translated into functional currency at year end exchange rates. Gains or losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) within other income (expense), net.

The functional currency of our Indian subsidiary is the Indian Rupee (Rs) and that of our Italian subsidiaries is the Euro. In order to present our financial statements in United States Dollars ($), the results and financial position are translated as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities except equity and retained earnings are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of the Balance Sheet.
     
  • Income and expenditure for each income statement are translated at quarterly average exchange rate during each period.
     
  • Equities are translated at the rate of date of acquisition. The retained earnings are also translated at the date of acquisition, which is not expected to have any material variance.

All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a component of equity.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue from software services consist of revenues earned from services performed either on a time-and-material basis or under fixed price contracts. Revenues earned from services performed on a “time and material” basis are recognized as services are performed on the basis of billable time spent by employees working on the project, priced at the contracted rate. Revenue from Software development on fixed-price, where there is no uncertainty as to the measurement or collectability of consideration that will be derived on completion of the contract, is recognized as per the percentage of completion method as determined based on the certification of the Technical Head of the respective project. Revenue recognition using the percentage of-completion method in conformity with ASC Topic 605, is based on the guidance in ASC Topic 985, Software Revenue Recognition, to account for revenues under fixed price arrangements for software development and related services. Losses on such contracts are recognized when probable. Revenues in excess of billings are recognized as accrued income in the balance sheet; to the extent billings are in excess of revenues recognized, the excess is reported as deferred revenues in the balance sheet.

44


In accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Income Statement Characterization of reimbursements received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred”, Xalted accounts for reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as revenues in the Statement of Income.

All revenues are recognized only when collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, and are reported net of discounts and indirect and service taxes.

Deferred revenue includes payments that have been received and recorded prior to performance.

Cost of revenues and R&D, selling, general and administrative expenses: Cost of revenues primarily include the compensation cost of technical staff, consultancy charges, depreciation and amortization on dedicated assets and system software, application software costs, travel costs, data communication expenses and other attributable expenses incurred that are related to the generation of revenue. R&D, selling, general and administrative expenses generally include the compensation costs of software development, sales, management and administrative personnel, travel costs, advertising, professional charges, rent, repairs, electricity, office maintenance expenses and other general expenses not attributable to cost of revenues.

Cash and cash equivalents: Xalted considers investments in highly liquid instruments that are purchased with remaining maturities, of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and claims to cash that are restricted as to withdrawal or use in the ordinary course of business is classified separately under other current and non-current assets.

Fair value of financial instruments: Effective April 1, 2009, Xalted adopted SFAS No. 157 (ASC No 820) limited to financial assets and liabilities, which primarily relate to Xalted’s investments. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:

Level 1- Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3- Inputs which are unobservable reflecting internal assumptions are used in pricing assets or liabilities.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable represent trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of receivables that are doubtful of recovery based on a specific identification basis. The Company currently has $2,791,073 and $2,728,869 of accounts receivable that have been outstanding for more than a year as on December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, out of which $216,284 and $216,284 are covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts as on December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Inventories: Inventories are work in progress, which are valued based on the percentage of work completed/consumption. Cost includes cost of hardware/software, related employees costs and overhead costs up to the date of financial statement.

45


Premises, equipment and depreciation: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

  Estimated Useful Life
Computer & Peripherals 3 to 5 years
Communication Equipments 3 to 7 years
Lab Equipment 5 to 10 years
Office Equipment 5 years
Motor Vehicle 6 years
Air Conditioner 7 years
Furniture and Fittings 10 years
Digital Loop Carriers 3 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of Lease period or estimated useful life

Intangible Assets: Xalted amortizes intangible assets over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis unless such life is deemed indefinite. The intangible asset of the Company comprises of internal use software. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, we have the intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labor, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Research and development costs and software development costs incurred under contractual arrangements with customers are accounted as cost of sales. During 2011 and 2010, software amounts capitalized on account of internal use were $1,511,109 and $20,104, respectively. Amortization of internal use software begins when the software is placed in use and continues on the straight-line method generally over a life of either five or seven years.

Amortizable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits consumed in each period. The estimated useful life of the Intangible assets is 7 years.

Impairment of long-lived assets: Long-lived assets and assets group, including certain identifiable intangible assets, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such assets are considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated from the assets. The impairment amount to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair value. Assets held-for-sale is reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less costs to sell. However, based on the above exercise no adjustment on account of impairment is required.

Investments: Xalted classifies investments in mutual funds with readily determinable fair market values as available-for-sale securities and is recorded at fair value. Accordingly, such securities are carried at fair value. Realized gains and losses and decline in value considered to be other-than-temporary are included in other income. The cost of securities sold is determined on the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in other income. The company does not have any securities classified as trading.

Borrowing Cost: Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition of qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset until the asset is put to use,. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Income taxes: Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year.

Current income taxes: The current income tax expense includes Indian income taxes payable for Xalted after taking credit for benefits available for operations in Software Technology Parks (or STPs) and export earnings, and after offsetting benefits under tax avoidance treaties for foreign taxes payable in overseas jurisdictions. Current income tax payable is computed in accordance with the tax laws applicable in India. The amounts paid are generally available for offset as tax credits in India towards the income tax liability.

46


Payments of advance taxes and income taxes payable in the same tax jurisdictions are offset.

Deferred income taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carry forwards and tax credits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period of change.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized using the more likely-than-not threshold determined solely based on technical merits that the tax positions will sustain upon examination. Tax positions that meet the recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement with relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

Earnings per share: In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of Xalted by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

Cash flow statement: The cash flow statement has been drawn up in accordance with the indirect method, classifying cash flows as cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. The effect of currency translation has been given to various items of cash flow statement. The difference between the net cash flow and the change in Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet due to exchange rate differences are disclosed separately as part of the reconciliation of the net cash flow and the balance sheet change in Cash and cash equivalents.

Employment benefits:

  • Provident fund: In accordance with Indian law, all employees are entitled to receive benefits under the Provident Fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee and the employer make monthly contributions to the plan at a predetermined rate (presently 12%) of the employees’ basic salary. Xalted has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions. These contributions are made to fund administered and managed by the Government of India. Xalted’s monthly contributions are charged to income in the period it is incurred.
     
  • Employees state insurance fund: In addition to the above benefit, all employees in India who are drawing gross salary of less than Rs. 15,000 per month are entitled to receive benefit under employee state insurance fund scheme. The employer makes contribution to the scheme at a predetermined rate (presently 4.75%) of employee’s gross salary. Xalted has no further obligations under the scheme beyond its monthly contributions. These contributions are made to fund administered and managed by the Government of India. Xalted’s monthly contributions are charged to income in the year it is incurred.
     
  • Gratuity plan: In addition to the above benefits, Xalted provides for a gratuity obligation, a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering all its employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement or termination of employment based on the respective employee’s salary, and the years of employment with Xalted. Xalted provides for the Gratuity Plan on the basis of actuarial valuation. Xalted makes yearly contributions under the gratuity plan administered and managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India, or LIC. Gratuity payable is recognized in the Balance Sheet. Gratuity payable is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets with LIC and the projected benefit obligation at December 31, the measurement date. (Gains)/losses arise as a result of differences between actual experience and assumptions or as a result of changes in actuarial assumptions. These are recognized as and when they arise. Net periodic gratuity cost is recorded in the Statement of Income and includes service cost, interest cost, and return on plan assets. Actuarial gains/losses are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income statement.

47


  • Leave Encashment: The Company has other long term employee benefits in the nature of leave encashment (Compensated Absences). The liability in respect of leave encashment is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation made at end of the calendar year, as the said schemes meet the requirement of relevant ASC.

Dividends: Final dividend on the common stock is recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the stockholders. Interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the board of directors.

Warranty Costs: The Company provides for the estimated costs of fulfilling their obligations for contracts under warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The Company regularly evaluates the estimates to assess the adequacy of the recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amount as necessary.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 8. Financial Statements

The full text of our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 begins on page F-1 of this Report.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There have been no disagreements regarding accounting and financial disclosure matters with our independent certified public accountants.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Ajay Batheja, and Chief Financial Officer, Edward Miller, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. Based upon this evaluation, Mr. Batheja and Mr. Miller determined that, as of September 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness, as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 5, in our internal control over financial reporting. This deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews.

48


(b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

  • Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
     
  • Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
     
  • Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.

Our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of the following identified material weakness:

  • The Company maintains inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

49


(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the fourth quarter of 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed during the fiscal year covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

Upon the establishment of an audit committee, the board will determine whether any of the directors qualify as an audit committee financial expert.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Kranem Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kranem Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Kranem Corporation’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kranem Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

KRANEM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Audited)

Note 1 – Basis of presentation

The financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by Kranem Corporation (the “Company”), with audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

Note 2 – History and organization of the Company

The Company was incorporated in the State of Colorado on April 18, 2002 under the name Kranem Corporation. The Company previously offered high-quality office and office supply products to businesses, educational institutions, government agencies and individuals through the Company’s website, www.learningwire.com. The Company operated its business under the “Learningwire” trade name, which is registered with the Colorado Secretary of State. However, the Company ceased its online operations in January 2006 and from that time until the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement with Xalted Networks, Inc. described below, the Company did not engage in any active operations, other than its search for a privately owned corporation to merge with or acquire.

On May 13, 2011, the Company executed and closed transactions under a Share Exchange Agreement with Xalted Networks, Inc., or Xalted Networks, a Delaware holding company with an operating subsidiary in India. The transactions under the Share Exchange Agreement with Xalted Networks are accounted for as a reverse recapitalization whereby a private company exchanges shares with a non-operational public company resulting in a change in control and management. Accordingly, the historical financial data accompanying these financial statements are that of Xalted Networks, primarily its operating subsidiary in India. Since the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company has been engaged in the provision of advanced software solutions that enable companies and public organizations, including governments and law enforcement agencies, to capture, manage and analyze structured and unstructured data to enhance business and operational performance and address security threats. The two principal markets that our software solutions address are the telecom security market and the homeland security market. The Company includes law enforcement as part of the homeland security market. The Company’s current and past geographic focus is on India and the surrounding countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

The Company’s recapitalization with Xalted Networks and its operating subsidiary, Xalted Information Systems (Pvt.) Ltd., or Xalted Information, was accomplished by the forgiveness of $2,500,000 of debt issued by Xalted Network’s parent, Xalted Holding Corporation, or Xalted Holding, which we acquired from three note holders in exchange for the issuance to them of an aggregate of 14,958,280 shares of our common stock; the issuance to Xalted Holding of 11,634,220 shares of our common stock; and the cancellation of an aggregate of 14,687,500 outstanding shares of our common stock held by three individuals. As a result and immediately after the closing of, these transactions, the former Xalted Holding note holders held directly 45% of our issued and outstanding stock. Xalted Holding held directly 35% of our issued and outstanding common stock. The remaining 20% was held by the shareholders of Kranem Corporation of record immediately before the closing of the transactions. The share amounts in these financials reflect the amounts of shares held by the shareholders following the stock dividends issued on July 28, 2011.

Asset Purchase Agreement. On June 30, 2011, we entered into and consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement with Investco, a British Virgin Islands corporation, pursuant to which we acquired certain software, source code, intellectual property rights and other materials relating to the “Data Retention,” “Man in the Middle,” “Man in the Middle Detector” and “nCrypto” products and product families. We refer to these items as the Transferred Assets. We assumed no liabilities of Investco in connection with this transaction.

   
KRANEM CORPORATION Page F-7 


As consideration for the Transferred Assets, we issued to Investco 6,648,125 shares of our common stock, representing 20% of our then-issued and outstanding capital stock, and a one-year convertible promissory note, or the Note, in the principal amount of $400,000. The Note bears simple interest at the annual rate of five percent and is due and payable, together with accrued interest, on June 29, 2012 or earlier in the event of our insolvency or bankruptcy. The Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Note is convertible at the option of the Note holder, in whole but not in part, into shares of our common stock, at the per share price paid by, and on the same terms and conditions extended to, the investors in our next round of financing. The shares and the Note were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. We relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by Investco. The securities issuable upon conversion of the Note have not been registered under the Securities Act. The shares of common stock, the Note and the securities issuable upon any conversion of the Note, may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

For more information on this transaction, please see our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 7, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Acquisition of Alfa Sistemi and Adora

On November 30, 2011, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Alfa Sistemi Purchase Agreement, and consummated the transactions set forth in the Alfa Sistemi Purchase Agreement, to acquire 100% ownership of Alfa Sistemi Telemedia Srl, an Italian company, or Alfa Sistemi, from Mr. Aldo Greco and Ms. Mario Fausto Greco, the existing stockholders of Alfa Sistemi for (a) $800,000 in cash, payable on the later of (i) 6 months from the effective date of the Alfa Sistemi Purchase Agreement or (ii) the date of the Company’s equity next financing and (b) 200,000 shares of common stock to be issued as soon as possible. Alfa Sistemi provides telecommunications equipment and services to various customers in Italy.

For more information on this transaction, please see our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 6, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On December 21, 2011, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Adora Purchase Agreement, to acquire 100% ownership of Adora ICT Srl, or Adora, an Italian company, from E-Company Srl and Ms. Cristina Carra, the existing stockholders of Adora. The Adora Purchase Agreement was fully executed by the parties on December 21, 2011 and the acquisition completed, with agreed-upon effect as from November 1, 2011. Adora provides telecommunications equipment and services to various customers in Italy. The aggregate consideration, which we estimate to be no more than $2,500,000, is contingent on the 2011 audited revenues of Adora and comprises 50% in cash and 50% in shares of common stock, payable by installments upon the delivery of Adora’s 2011 and 2012 audited financials, respectively. The stock consideration is calculated using the closing market price of our stock on the effective date of the Adora Purchase Agreement.

For more information on this transaction, please see our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December.27, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference.

A. Description of business

B. Summary of significant accounting policies

a)

Basis of preparation: The financial statements of Kranem are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("US GAAP"). The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars ($). The financial statements are prepared for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011 with comparatives for the previous calendar year December 31, 2010.

   
b)

Use of estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as on the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Examples of such estimates include: project completion dates, time and cost required to complete projects for purposes of revenue recognition and future revenue, expense and cash flow estimates for purposes of impairment analysis and loss contract evaluation, allowance for doubtful debts, obligations under employee benefit plans, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, useful lives of premises and equipment (fixed assets) and income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

   
c)

Foreign Currency:

   

Initial measurement: The transactions in foreign currency are recorded in functional currency at the exchange rates between foreign currency and functional currency prevailing as on the date of the transactions.

   

Subsequent measurement: Foreign Currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into functional currency at year end exchange rates. Gains or losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) within other income (expense), net.

   

The functional currency of the company is U.S. Dollars; however, as the bulk of the Company’s operations are outside the United States and located in either India or Italy; the two dominant currencies in the company are the Indian Rupee (Rs) and Euro (€). In order to present the financial statement in United States Dollars ($), the results and financial position are translated as follows:


  Assets and liabilities except equity and retained earnings are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of the Balance Sheet.
     
  Income and expenditure for each income statement are translated at quarterly average exchange rate during each period.
     
  Equities are translated at the rate of date of acquisition. The retained earnings as at December 31, 2011 are translated at closing rate of December, 31, 2011 which is not expected to have any material variance.

All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a component of equity.

   
d) Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
   
e)

Revenue Recognition:

   

Revenue from software services consist of revenues earned from services performed either on a time-and- material basis or under fixed price contracts. Revenues earned from services performed on a "time and material" basis are recognized as services are performed on the basis of billable time spent by employees working on the project, priced at the contracted rate. Revenue from Software development on fixed-price, where there is no uncertainty as to the measurement or collectability of consideration that will be derived on completion of the contract, is recognized as per the percentage of completion method as determined based on the certification of the Technical Head of the respective project. Revenue recognition using the percentage of- completion method in conformity with ASC Topic 605, is based on the guidance in ASC Topic 985, Software Revenue Recognition, to account for revenues under fixed price arrangements for software development and related services. Losses on such contracts are recognized when probable. Revenues in excess of billings are recognized as accrued income in the balance sheet; to the extent billings are in excess of revenues recognized, the excess is reported as deferred revenues in the balance sheet. The invoicing is based upon either the milestone(s) defined in the contract with customers or upon completion as determined by either the contract or purchase order. However, for accounting purposes the revenue is recorded based upon the attainment and approval of a specific percentage of software development, which may or may not relate to a billing milestone. Accordingly, such revenue is booked on the basis of percentage completion. Similarly in such cases where Billing has been done as per the term of contract but the specific stage of software not ascertained and approved, such excess of billing over revenue is recognized as deferred revenue to the extent the money has been received from the customer.


KRANEM CORPORATION Page F-9



In accordance with ASC Topic 605, "Income Statement Characterization of reimbursements received for "Out- of-Pocket" Expenses Incurred", Kranem accounts for reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as revenues in the Statement of Income.

   

All revenues are recognized only when collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, and are reported net of discounts and indirect and service taxes.

   
  The Company provides for the estimated costs of fulfilling their obligations for contracts under warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The Company regularly evaluates the estimates to assess the adequacy of the recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amount as necessary.
   
f)

Cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses: Cost of revenues primarily include the compensation cost of technical staff, consultancy charges, depreciation and amortization on dedicated assets and system software, application software costs, travel costs, data communication expenses and other attributable expenses incurred that are related to the generation of revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses generally include the compensation costs of sales, management and administrative personnel, travel costs, advertising, professional charges, rent, repairs, electricity, office maintenance expenses and other general expenses not attributable to cost of revenues.

   
g)

Cash and cash equivalents: Kranem considers investments in highly liquid instruments that are purchased with remaining maturities, of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and claims to cash that are restricted as to withdrawal or use in the ordinary course of business is classified separately under other current and non-current assets.

   
h)

Fair value of financial instruments: Effective April 1, 2010, Xalted adopted SFAS No. 157 (ASC No 820) limited to financial assets and liabilities, which primarily relate to Xalted’s investments. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels: Level 1- Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

   

Level 2- Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3- Inputs which are unobservable reflecting internal assumptions are used in pricing assets or liabilities.

   
i)

Accounts Receivable: The prerequisites for billing the customer are determined by the terms of sale that are negotiated with the customer and stated in the customer’s contract. The terms of sale or billing will vary dependant upon the type of customer. Government Contracts tend to be more complex and detailed due to requirements such as acceptance testing etc. Contracts with private companies tend to be more standardized. The standard terms of sale through our Xalted operations are net 60 or net 90 days. For larger projects, the process dictates that the Company bid on the project, which will include pricing and terms of sale. The perspective customer will outline the payment terms they require as part of the bidding proposal. In our two Italian subsidiaries (Alfa Sistemi and Adora ICT), the standard terms of sale are net 120 or net 150 days.


KRANEM CORPORATION Page F-10



Accounts Receivable represent trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of receivables that are doubtful of recovery based on a specific identification basis. The Company currently has $2,792,510 and $2,728,869 of accounts receivable that has been outstanding for more than a year as on December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 respectively, out of which $216,284 and $216,284 is covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts as on December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 respectively.

   

Of the $2,792,510 receivable outstanding as of December 31, 2011, approximately $2.3 million is a receivable with the Government of India. Another $216,268 is fully reserved. The remainder is composed of a number of receivables, no one of which exceeds $100,000.

   
j)

Inventories: Inventories are work in progress, which are valued based on the percentage of work completed or consumption. Cost includes cost of hardware, software, related employees costs and overhead costs up to the date of financial statement.

   
k)

Premises, equipment and depreciation: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:


    Estimated Useful Life
  Computer & Peripherals 3 to 5 years
  Communication Equipments 3 to 7 years
  Lab Equipment 5 to 10 years
  Office Equipment 5 years
  Motor Vehicle 6 years
  Air Conditioner 7 years
  Furniture and Fittings 10 years
  Digital Loop Carriers 3 years
  Leasehold improvements Shorter of Lease period or estimated useful life
     

The Company’s Xalted operations owned a leasehold land in Whitefield, Bangalore which was allotted to the Company by Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) in 2004. The Company being unable to fulfill the conditions laid down by KIADB, sold the leasehold land on 14th January, 2011 to Krishil Tech Park Private Ltd., Bengaluru, (a related party) with Mr. Pratap. S. Kondamoori and Mr. Rajendra Manikonda, Directors of the Company being also nominated Directors in Krishil Tech Park Pvt. Ltd., in order to fulfill the conditions laid down by KIADB with no vested interest, for a total consideration of $781,076. The Book Value of Land as on 31st December, 2010 is $803,412.

   
l)

Intangible Assets: Kranem amortizes intangible assets over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis unless such life is deemed indefinite. The intangible asset of the Company comprises of internal use software. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, we have the intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labor, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Research and development costs and software development costs incurred under contractual arrangements with customers are accounted as cost of sales. During 2011 and 2010, software amounts capitalized on account of internal use were $1,511,109 and $20,104 respectively. Amortization of internal use software begins when the software is placed in use and continues on the straight-line method generally over a life of software, which will vary between five and seven years.

   
  Kranem with the acquisitions of Alfa Sistemi Telemedia and Adora ICT incurred a purchase price allocation of approximately $3,000,000 to intangible assets. In both acquisitions approximately $1.0 million in intangible assets was attributed to the acquisition of the customer base and in the instance of Adora ICT, we attributed approximately $1.0 million dollars to the acquisition of intellectual property related to the enterprise security. Amortization of internal use intellectual property and customers begins when the first sale to an existing customer occurs and continues on the straight-line method generally over a period of seven years.
   

Amortizable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits consumed in each period. The estimated useful life of the Intangible assets is 7 years.


KRANEM CORPORATION Page F-11



m)

Impairment of long-lived assets: Long-lived assets and assets group, including certain identifiable intangible assets, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such assets are considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated from the assets. The impairment amount to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair value. Assets held-for-sale is reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less costs to sell. However, based on the above exercise no adjustment on account of impairment is required.

     
n)

Investments: Kranem classifies investments in mutual funds with readily determinable fair market values as available-for-sale securities and is recorded at fair value. Accordingly, such securities are carried at fair value. Realized gains and losses and decline in value considered to be other-than-temporary are included in other comprehensive income. The cost of securities sold is determined on the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in other income. The company does not have any securities classified as trading.

     
p)

Income taxes: Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year.

     
(i)

Current income taxes: The current income tax expense includes Indian income taxes payable for Xalted after taking credit for benefits available for operations in Software Technology Parks (or STPs) and export earnings, and after offsetting benefits under tax avoidance treaties for foreign taxes payable in overseas jurisdictions. Current income tax payable is computed in accordance with the tax laws applicable in India. The amounts paid are generally available for offset as tax credits in India towards the income tax liability.

     

Payments of advance taxes and income taxes payable in the same tax jurisdictions are offset.

     
(ii)

Deferred income taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carry forwards and tax credits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period of change.

     

Uncertain tax positions are recognized using the more likely-than-not threshold determined solely based on technical merits that the tax positions will sustain upon examination. Tax positions that meet the recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement with relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

     
q)

Earnings per share: In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share", basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of Kranem by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

     
r)

Cash flow statement: The cash flow statement has been drawn up in accordance with the indirect method, classifying cash flows as cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. The effect of currency translation has been given to various items of cash flow statement. The difference between the net cash flow and the change in cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet due to exchange rate differences are disclosed separately as part of the reconciliation of the net cash flow and the balance sheet change in cash and cash equivalents.


KRANEM CORPORATION Page F-12



s) Stock-Based Employee Compensation: The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation in accordance with accounting standards regarding share-based payment, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
   
t) Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and all other non-stockholder changes in equity, or other comprehensive income. Elements of the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of equity and comprehensive income (loss), and the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income consisted solely of foreign currency translation adjustments.
   
u)

Xalted provides for the Gratuity Plan on the basis of actuarial valuation. Xalted makes yearly contributions under the gratuity plan administered and managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (’LIC’). Gratuity payable is recognized in the Balance Sheet. Gratuity payable is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets with LIC and the projected benefit obligation at December 31, the measurement date.

In assessing the probability of realizing the deferred tax assets, Xalted considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or utilizable. Xalted considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the company believes it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of these deductible differences as on December 31, 2011. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.

The components of net deferred tax asset are as follows:

    2011     2010

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48") (ASC Topic 740). The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on de- recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 (ASC Topic 740) is effective from fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, (ASC Topic 740) Xalted did not have to recognize any increase/decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior periods.

   

Xalted has ongoing disputes with Indian Income tax authorities relating to tax treatment of certain items. These mainly include disallowed expenses, tax treatment of certain expenses claimed by Xalted as deductions, and computation of, or eligibility of certain tax incentives or allowances. Xalted is contesting the Income Tax Officer’s order for the denial of section 10A benefits claimed by the Company under the Income Tax Act, 1961. The estimated contingency amounts to $120,156 as of December 31, 2011 and $224,949 as on December 31, 2010. The management believes that it has strong merits for this petition and hence it will not have the material adverse affect on Xalted’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

   

The Company’s tax assessment is open for financial year 2009-2010 and 2010-11 for which the income tax authorities can review / audit Company’s income tax filings.

Concentration of Credit Risk

   

Financial instruments that potentially subject Kranem to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled revenues. Accounts receivable balances are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in India, United States of America and Nepal. The company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

   

The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from top five and top ten customers:


Year ended December 31, 2011

22. Contingencies and commitments
   
  Contingencies
   
i. The Income Tax Assessing Officer has raised a demand for additional Tax liability for AY 07-08 and AY 08- 09. The Company has made additional provision for Income Tax Demand Liability in respect of AY 2008-09 of $ 95,998/-. The Company is contesting the order of denial of section 10A benefits claimed by the Company in AY 07-08 and AY 08-09 under the Income Tax Act, 1961. The estimated contingency amounts to $ 120,156/- as of December 31, 2010. The management believes that it has strong merits for this petition and hence it will not have the material adverse affect on Xalted’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position and has filed an Appeal to the Commissioner of Income Tax.
   
  Legal Proceedings
   
(a) The Company has an ongoing dispute with one of their Customers in Africa in view of the SOW (Statement of Work) changing at regular intervals and new requirements being added regularly against what has been agreed as per Contract. The Company had received a Notice from the Customer about the cancellation of the Contract almost more than 8 months back and has not heard from them thereafter. In view of the uncertainty in realization of the amount of $ 216,284 due from this Customer, the Company as a prudent and conservative measure had made a Provision in the books for the entire amount of $ 216,284.
   
(b) In April 2010, a petition was filed against Xalted Information in the High Court of Karnataka at Bangalore by Arasor Corporation (“Arasor”), a Delaware company. The High Court is the principal court of original jurisdiction in the Indian state of Karnataka, sitting in the city of Bangalore. The petition sought an order under Sections 433 and 434 of the Companies Act of 1956 for the winding up of Xalted Information, based on allegations that Xalted Information did not pay for communications equipment sold and shipped by Arasor an aggregate of $4.5 million. The Company maintains that it never received the equipment which is alleged to have been shipped to them. This type of claim, and the type of relief sought, is not unusual in India.
   
The petition was heard by a single judge, sometimes also called a “Single Bench Judge,” in the High Court in Karnataka. Any judicial panel comprised of two judges in a given court is referred to in India as a “Division Bench.” The Single-Bench Judge found sufficient evidence to hold a hearing on Arasor’s complaint to “wind- up” Xalted Information Systems on November 10, 2010. On December 14, 2010, Xalted Information filed an appeal of that decision before a Division Bench of the same High Court. On January 19, 2011, the two-judge panel stayed the November 10, 2010 order of the Single Bench Judge and all further proceedings in the action filed by Arasor, pending the appeal.

KRANEM CORPORATION Page F-27



After submission of written arguments, a hearing on the appeal was conducted in March 2011, a further hearing was set for June 9, 2011, and the earlier stay was continued during the pendency of the appeal. In June 2011, Xalted Information filed an additional application with the two-judge panel to request dismissal of the claims against it on the basis that Arasor’s corporate status was “void” in Delaware and “forfeited” in California, and that Arasor therefore was without corporate power and authority to maintain or prosecute the action. On October 15, 2011, the Division Bench heard the appeal filed by Xalted Information and set aside the order of admission of the petition. The Division Bench Court determined that the order passed by the Single Judge Court did not fully take into consideration the defenses presented by Xalted Information and remanded the matter back to the Single Bench Judge to hear the evidence of both parties again, as to whether there was sufficient evidence to admit the petition for trial. The Divisional Bench Court also ruled that Xalted Information is permitted to raise all defenses, including the defense of the non-existence of Arasor Corporation. The Company’s India Lawyers had filed an application for dismissal of the petition on the above grounds and had argued the same before the Single Judge and the matter is likely to be heard at the beginning of June 2012.

   

The Company’s India lawyers have informed the Management that they believe the Company has a strong legal position and a good chance of success in the proceedings which will take place before the Single Bench Judge. However, if Xalted Information is unsuccessful in the proceedings before the Single Bench Judge, the Single Bench Judge decision can be appealed to the Divisional Bench and, if necessary, to the Supreme Court. Should the appeals fail, there will be a trial before the Single Bench Judge on the Arasor “winding up” petition. Should Xalted Information lose the trial, Xalted Information would appeal the decision to the Divisional Bench and, if required, appeal the trial decision before the Supreme Court. Should Xalted Information fail in the hearing, the trail and its appeals, Xalted Information would be subject to judicial liquidation in India, if Xalted Information is unable to pay the amount of the judgment. The Company’s India Lawyers have also informed the management that there is no loss contingency required, as the legal claim is not for payment of money but for the “winding-up of the Company”. The management team of the Company has determined based upon the merits of its legal case that the likelihood of a loss is remote and no financial reserve is required.

   
(c)

In November 2011, a civil lawsuit was filed against Xalted Networks, in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County, by Empirix, Inc., a Delaware company, in the amount of $316,625.01. The lawsuit alleges that Xalted Networks purchased monitoring surveillance and analysis technology and products from Mutina Technology S.R.L., an Italian company, that is 100% owned by Empirix, Inc. We maintain that Xalted Networks, which was formed on March 14, 2011, could not have entered into a contractual relationship with Mutina Technology S.R.L. on August 17, 2009, as the Company did not exist.

   

On January 5, 2012, Xalted Networks filed a Notice of Demurrer in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County, to have the civil action against Xalted Networks dismissed based upon the fact that the Company did not exist at the time that the contractual arrangement allegedly occurred. The hearing to determine the Notice of Demurrer will likely occur in June 2012.

   

The Company’s California counsel has informed us that he believes Xalted Networks has a strong legal position and a good chance of success in persuading the Superior Court of California to dismiss the lawsuit. If Xalted Networks is not successful in that effort, it may appeal the lawsuit to the California Courts of Appeal and the California Supreme Court. Should those appeals fail, Xalted Networks would be subject to a court action and would have to pay the amount of $316,625.01 and it could have a material adverse effect on our business.
