Note 1 - Accounting Policies
 
Organization and Business
 
Conversion Services International, Inc. (“CSI” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware and has been conducting business since 1990. CSI and its subsidiaries (together the “Company”) are principally engaged in the information technology services industry in the following areas: strategic consulting, business intelligence/data warehousing and data management, on credit, to its customers principally located in the northeastern United States.

CSI was formerly known as LCS Group, Inc. (“LCS”). In January 2004, CSI merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of LCS. In connection with this transaction, among other things, LCS changed its name to “Conversion Services International, Inc.”

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2007, and for all periods presented, have been made. Footnote disclosure has been condensed or omitted as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission rules over interim financial statements.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, DeLeeuw Associates, Inc. and CSI Sub Corp. (DE) (in December 2006, former subsidiary Integrated Strategies, Inc. was merged with and into DeLeeuw Associates, Inc., former subsidiary McKnight Associates, Inc. was merged with and into CSI Sub Corp. (DE), and CSI Sub Corp. II (DE) was dissolved). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence (generally 20-50% ownership), are accounted for by the equity method.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from consulting and professional services is recognized at the time the services are performed on a project by project basis. For projects charged on a time and materials basis, revenue is recognized based on the number of hours worked by consultants at an agreed-upon rate per hour. For large services projects where costs to complete the contract could reasonably be estimated, the Company undertakes projects on a fixed-fee basis and recognizes revenues on the percentage of completion method of accounting based on the evaluation of actual costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs. Revenues recognized in excess of billings are recorded as costs in excess of billings. Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as deferred revenues until revenue recognition criteria are met. Reimbursements, including those relating to travel and other out-of-pocket expenses, are included in revenues, and the actual cost incurred for consultant expenses is included in cost of services.

Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “ Business Combinations ” (“SFAS 141”), which requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations be followed and in accordance with EITF No. 99-12 “ Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination” (“EITF 99-12”) . In accordance with SFAS 141, the Company determines the recognition of intangible assets based on the following criteria: (i) the intangible asset arises from contractual or other rights; or (ii) the intangible is separable or divisible from the acquired entity and capable of being sold, transferred, licensed, returned or exchanged. In accordance with SFAS 141, the Company allocates the purchase price of its business combinations to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Additionally, in accordance with EITF 99-12, the Company values an acquisition based upon the market price of its common stock for a reasonable period before and after the date the terms of the acquisition are agreed upon and announced.

Accounts receivable

The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts, when deemed necessary, based upon its history of past write-offs and collections, contractual terms and current credit conditions.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and includes equipment held under capital lease arrangements. Depreciation is computed principally by an accelerated method and is based on the estimated useful lives of the various assets ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the asset life or the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs have been charged to operations. Major renewals and betterments have been capitalized.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 142 “ Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ” (“SFAS 142”). Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill or other intangible assets may not be recoverable, or at least annually at December 31 of each year. These tests are performed at the reporting unit level using a two-step, fair-value based approach. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The second step allocates the fair value of the reporting unit to the Company’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. This derives an implied fair value for the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. In the event that the Company determines that the value of goodwill or other intangible assets have become impaired, the Company will incur a charge for the amount of the impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

Goodwill represents the amounts paid in connection with the acquisitions of DeLeeuw Associates, Inc., Integrated Strategies, McKnight Associates and the assets of Scosys, Inc. Additionally, as part of the DeLeeuw Associates, McKnight Associates and Scosys acquisitions, the Company acquired identifiable intangible assets.

Acquired contracts are amortized over a period that approximates the estimated life of the contracts, based upon the estimated annual cash flows obtained from those contracts, generally five years. The approved vendor status intangible asset was being amortized over an estimated life of forty months, which expired in June 2007. The proprietary presentation format intangible asset is being amortized over an estimated life of three years. The customer relationship intangible asset is being amortized over an estimated life of thirty months.

Deferred financing costs

The Company capitalizes costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt instruments, which is currently less than one year.

Discount on debt

The Company has allocated the proceeds received from conventionally convertible debt instruments between the underlying debt instrument and the freestanding warrants, and has recorded the conversion feature as a discount on the debt in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-27 (“EITF 00-27) “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” . The Company is amortizing the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments.

Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of convertible notes and notes payable also approximate fair value.
 
- 9 -

 
We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Generally, where the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is deemed to be not within the control of the company, the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability.
 
In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may also issue freestanding options or warrants. Additionally, we may issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services they provide. Although the terms of the options and warrants may not provide for net-cash settlement, in certain circumstances, physical or net-share settlement is deemed to not be within the control of the company and, accordingly, we are required to account for these freestanding options and warrants as derivative financial instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.  
 
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.
 
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
 
If freestanding options or warrants were issued and will be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities (rather than as equity), the proceeds are first allocated to the fair value of those instruments. When the embedded derivative instrument is to be bifurcated and accounted for as a liability, the remaining proceeds received are then allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instrument, usually resulting in that instrument being recorded at a discount from its face amount. In circumstances where a freestanding derivative instrument is to be accounted for as an equity instrument, the proceeds are allocated between the convertible instrument and the derivative equity instrument, based on their relative fair values.
 
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt instrument resulting from the allocation of part of the proceeds to embedded derivative instruments and/or freestanding options or warrants is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
 
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
Extinguishment of debt

In February 2006, the Company restructured its financing with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”). As a result of this restructuring, the convertible notes which existed under the prior transaction were replaced with non-convertible notes, among other things. This transaction was recorded as an early extinguishment of debt and the Company included the unamortized portion of both the discount on debt and deferred financing costs related to the extinguished debt as a component of the loss recorded on the early extinguishment of the debt.

In March 2007, the Company restructured its financing with both Laurus and three affiliates of Laidlaw Ltd. (formerly known as Sands Brothers) (“Sands”). As a result of these restructurings, the convertible notes which existed under the prior Sands transaction were extinguished and replaced with a non-convertible note and the Overadvance Side Letter with Laurus was also extinguished. A loss on the Sands transaction was recorded as an early extinguishment of debt.

Stock compensation

SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123R”), “ Share-Based Payment ,” issued in December 2004, is a revision of FASB Statement 123, “ Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “ Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ,” and its related implementation guidance. The Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. On March 29, 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB No. 107”), which provides the Staff’s views regarding interactions between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations of the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
 
SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
 
- 10 -

 
(1) A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
 
(2) A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
 
The Company is required to adopt this standard effective with the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, therefore, we adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 using the modified prospective method. We previously accounted for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion 25 and, as such, generally recognized no compensation cost for employee stock options. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in future periods.

The Company follows EITF No. 96-18, “ Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services ” (“EITF 96-18”) in accounting for stock options issued to non-employees. Under EITF 96-18, the equity instruments should be measured at the fair value of the equity instrument issued. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company granted stock options to non-employee recipients. In compliance with EITF 96-18, the fair value of these options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company is recognizing the fair value of these options as expense over the three year vesting period of the options.

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.61 and $0.51 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected dividend yield
 
 
0.0
%
Risk-free interest rate
 
 
4.97
%
Expected volatility
 
 
171.68
%
Expected option life (years)
 
 
3.0
 
 
The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.25 per share on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected dividend yield
 
 
0.0
%
Risk-free interest rate
 
 
4.95
%
Expected volatility
 
 
155.6
%
Expected option life (years)
 
 
3.0
 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model used in this valuation was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The Company’s stock-based compensation has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers, based upon factors surrounding their credit risk, establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, and as a consequence believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited. At September 30, 2007, Bank of America accounted for approximately 20.1% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.

The Company maintains its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. Each account is secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes, in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “ Accounting for Income Taxes ” (“SFAS 109”) and related interpretations, under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.
 
- 11 -

 
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company’s current valuation allowance primarily relates to benefits from the Company’s net operating losses.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and State income tax purposes of approximately $25.8 million, which begin to expire in 2023. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards if there has been an ownership change, as defined by the tax law. An ownership change, as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, may limit the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards on a yearly basis. The Company has issued a substantial number of shares of common stock during 2007, which may place limitations on the current net loss carryforwards.

Derivatives

The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “ Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ” (“SFAS 133”) and related interpretations. SFAS 133, as amended, requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on: (i) whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and (ii) the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument based upon the exposure being hedged as either a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. At September 30, 2007, the Company had not entered into any transactions which were considered hedges under SFAS 133.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 financial statement presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2: Going concern

The Company has relied upon cash from its financing activities to fund its ongoing operations as it has not been able to generate sufficient cash from its operating activities in the past, and there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company has incurred net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, negative cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, and had an accumulated deficit of ($58.4 million) at September 30, 2007. Due to this history of losses and operating cash consumption, we cannot predict how long we will continue to incur further losses or whether we will become profitable again, or if the Company’s business will improve. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $29,000 and a working capital deficiency of ($3.7 million).

The Company has experienced continued losses that exceeded expectations from 2004 through September 30, 2007. The Company has addressed the resulting liquidity issue by entering into various debt instruments between August 2004 and June 2007 and, as of September 30, 2007 had approximately $7.0 million of debt outstanding in addition to an aggregate of $3.9 million of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which was issued in 2006. Additionally, the Company raised $4.9 million and $0.75 million through the sale of common stock of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

The Company obtained $4.25 million in new financing in March 2007 and repaid both the Laurus overadvance and the Laurus term note, in full, through a combination of a $3.1 million cash payment and $0.5 million in a warrant to purchase common stock. Additionally, a $0.5 million cash payment was paid to Sands. A final cash payment of $0.4 million and additional common stock and warrants is to be made in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007 to satisfy the Sands obligation in full.

The $4.25 million of new financing was in the form of a promissory note bearing a 10% annual interest rate and a maturity date of August 31, 2007. An additional $0.25 million of new financing, in the form of a promissory note bearing a 10% annual interest rate and a maturity date of August 31, 2007 was obtained in April 2007. Both notes, totaling $4.5 million were to automatically convert to common stock at such time as the Company has authorized shares sufficient to complete the transaction. These promissory notes were converted to common equity and the shares were issued in June 2007.

On April 27, 2007, the Company issued a 10% Convertible Unsecured Note (the "Note") to certain investors represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $250,000. In June 2007, the Note automatically converted into 833,333 shares of common stock upon the effectiveness of the Information Statement on Schedule 14C, filed preliminarily by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2007, amended on April 9, 2007 and filed definitively on May 1, 2007 . The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years.

On June 6, 2007, the Company issued a 10% Convertible Unsecured Note (the "Note") to certain investors represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $250,000. This note is due on demand and is convertible into 833,333 shares of common stock at the option of the holder. In the event that the Company obtains financing of at least $500,000, whether in the form of debt or equity, this Note is to be repaid to the investor immediately upon closing. The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years.

On June 27, 2007, the Company issued a 10% Convertible Unsecured Note (the "Note") to certain investors represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $400,000. This note is due on demand and is convertible into 1,333,333 shares of common stock at the option of the holder. In the event that the Company obtains financing of at least $500,000, whether in the form of debt or equity, this Note is to be repaid to the investor immediately upon closing. The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 1,333,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years. In August 2007, this note and the related warrant was cancelled and four notes in the amount of $100,000 each were executed between the Company and each of the individual TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. investors, with the effective date of each Note remaining at June 27, 2007. Each of the four investors were also granted a warrant to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years. All other provisions of the June 27, 2007 Note and warrant remain the same in the four new notes.
 
On August 24, 2007, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a certain investor represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company sold 550,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to the investor at the purchase price of $0.21 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $115,500. The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 550,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $0.22 per share (subject to adjustment) and exercisable for a period of five years. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the Agreement and the warrant.
 
On September 4, 2007, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain investors represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,140,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to the investors at the purchase price of $0.21 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $239,400. The investors were also granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,140,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $0.22 per share (subject to adjustment) and exercisable for a period of five years. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the Agreement and the warrant.

As of October 19, 2007, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement for a private offering of between $4.3 million and $5.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The private offering is to be consummated in multiple closings with the final closing to be completed on or before December 28, 2007. As of November 9, 2007, the Company has received $375,000 and issued 1,875,000 shares of Company common stock, based upon a $0.20 per share market price on the date the funds were received. Additionally, warrants to purchase 1,875,000 shares of Company common stock were issued with an exercise price of $0.22 per share and they are exercisable for five years. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company anticipates that it will have adequate capital to fund its operations for the upcoming 12 month period. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for further disclosure of this transaction.
 
The Company needs additional capital in order to survive. Additional capital will be needed to fund current working capital requirements, ongoing debt service and to repay the obligations that are maturing over the upcoming 12 month period. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and various short and long term financings. We plan to continue to strive to increase revenues and to continue to execute on our expense reduction program which began in 2006 in order to reduce, or eliminate, the operating losses. Additionally, we will continue to seek equity financing in order to enable us to continue to meet our financial obligations until we achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. Certain short term note holders have agreed to extend their maturity dates of such notes on a month-to-month basis until the Company raises sufficient funds to pay the notes in full. Amounts outstanding under such notes at September 30, 2007 were $1.5 million. Failure to obtain sufficient equity financing would have substantial negative ramifications to the Company.

Note 3:   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

  ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING POLICY
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48 ”). an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes .” The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of September 30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
 
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS  

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (FAS 159).   FAS 159, which becomes effective for the company on January 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The company does not anticipate that election, if any, of this fair-value option will have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. 

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated   financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In December 2006, the FASB issued a Staff Position (“FSP”) on EITF 00-19-2 , “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP 00-19-2”). This FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” If the transfer of consideration under a registration payment arrangement is probable and can be reasonably estimated at inception, the contingent liability under the registration payment arrangement is included in the allocation of proceeds from the related financing transaction (or recorded subsequent to the inception of a prior financing transaction) using the measurement guidance in SFAS No. 5. This FSP is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the issuance of the FSP. For prior arrangements, the FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not believe the adoption of this FSP will have a material impact on its consolidated   financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures .  

Note 4 - Goodwill

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company learned that several Integrated Strategies (“ISI”) consultants were to be ending their projects. Additionally, the continued margin pressure exerted by the vendor management organization structure utilized by ISI’s largest customer continues to unfavorably impact the economics of this division. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS No. 142”), “ Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, instructs the Company to test intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Due to the change in this business, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis during the three month period ended June 30, 2007 and recorded a goodwill impairment of $0.6 million.

Note 5 - Line of credit

On February 1, 2006, the Company restructured its financing with Laurus by entering into financing agreements with Laurus which removed all conversion features in the originally issued notes, pursuant to which it, among other things, (a) issued a secured non-convertible term note in the principal amount of $1 million to Laurus (the “Term Note”), (b) issued a secured non-convertible revolving note in the principal amount of $10 million to Laurus (the “Revolving Note”, collectively with the Term Note, the “Notes”), and (c) issued an option to purchase up to 3,080,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Laurus (the “Option”) at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The Company had no obligation to meet financial covenants under the notes. The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were used to refinance the Company’s outstanding obligations under the existing facility with Laurus (originally entered into in August 2004 and subsequently amended in July and November 2005) at a 5% premium. The Notes bore an annual interest rate of prime (as reported in the Wall Street Journal, which was 7.75% as of September 30, 2007) plus 1%, with a floor of 5.0%. Payments and interest were to be made in monthly installments until maturity of the Notes on December 31, 2007. In addition, payments of principal on the Term Note were to be made in equal monthly amounts until maturity of the Notes on December 31, 2007. A common stock purchase warrant issued to Laurus in August 2004 provided Laurus with the right to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price for the first 400,000 shares acquired under the warrant is $4.35 per share, the exercise price for the next 200,000 shares acquired under the warrant is $4.65 per share, and the exercise price for the final 200,000 shares acquired under the warrant is $5.25 per share. The common stock purchase warrant expires on August 15, 2011. Laurus partially exercised its option and purchased 1,580,000 shares of the Company’s common stock effective July 6, 2006. In July 2007, Laurus partially exercised its option and purchased 1,463,404 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the Notes, the Company and Laurus entered into an Overadvance Letter Agreement in the amount of $3,101,084, pursuant to which Laurus exercised its discretion granted to it pursuant to the Security Agreement entered into in August 2004 to make a loan to the Company in excess of the “Formula Amount” (as defined therein). The Company also entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement securing its obligations to Laurus, both prior to and including the Notes, as well as a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Option, as well as the shares of the Company’s common stock and the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrants held by Laurus, within 90 days.

Pursuant to the Overadvance Letter Agreement (the "Letter") dated as of February 1, 2006 among the Company, its subsidiaries and Laurus, the Company was to pay Laurus approximately $258,424 per month, starting February 1, 2007, until the aggregate principal amount of $3,101,084 was paid in full (the Company made the first two payments in February 2007). In March 2007, the Company and Laurus agreed that the Company would pay to Laurus $2,084,237 and issue a warrant to purchase 1,785,714 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 as final payment to satisfy the Letter in full. Laurus purchased 1,767,857 of the shares relating to this warrant in September 2007. Also in March 2007, the Company satisfied the outstanding amount on the outstanding term note issued to Laurus on February 1, 2006, with a cash payment to Laurus of $409,722.
 
Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company calculated the relative fair value of the warrant to purchase 1,785,714 shares of Company common stock to be $535,714. This relative fair value has been recorded as a component of the loss on the extinguishment of this debt. The assumptions used in the relative fair value calculation were as follows: Company stock price on March 7, 2007 of $0.30 per share; exercise price of the warrants of $0.01 per share; five year term; volatility of 147.32%; annual rate of dividends of 0%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.90%.
 
As of September 30, 2007, Laurus owned approximately 5,441,099 shares of the Company’s common stock, the option to purchase up to 36,596 shares of the Company's common stock, a warrant to purchase 17,857 shares of common stock, the warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.35 per share, the warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.65 per share and the warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share.

As of September 30, 2007, $1,915,045 remained outstanding to Laurus under the line of credit.

Note 6 - Short term notes payable
 
On September 22, 2005, upon maturity of the September 2004 notes, the Company issued Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Sands Notes") to Sands Brothers Venture Capital LLC, Sands Brothers Venture Capital III LLC, and Sands Brothers Venture Capital IV LLC (collectively, the “Funds”) equaling $1.08 million in the aggregate, each with an annual interest rate of 12% expiring on January 1, 2007. The Funds, in exchange for an extension fee of $15,000, agreed to extend the maturity dates of the Sands Notes to February 1, 2007 and then, upon maturity and in exchange for a $150,000 payment to be applied against the principal balance outstanding of the Sands Notes, agreed to extend the maturity date to March 1, 2007. On March 1, 2007, the Company, and each of the Funds, agreed that the Company will pay the Funds $900,000 cash during 2007, as well as issue shares of common stock with an aggregate value of $257,937 and warrants to purchase common stock as final payment, in four installments during 2007, to satisfy the Sands Notes in full. The Company estimated the total number of warrants to be issued to be 966,934 with 50%, or 483,467 shares, to have an exercise price at a 10% premium to the market price and the remaining 50%, or 483,467 shares, to have an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Company made its first two installments in the amount of $500,000 during March 2007 and the third installment in the amount of $150,000 during October 2007. The final cash payment in the amount of $250,000 is due during December 2007.
 
Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company calculated the relative fair value of the warrant to purchase 483,467 shares of Company common stock at a $0.33 per share exercise price to be $116,032. This relative fair value has been recorded as a component of the loss on the extinguishment of this debt. The assumptions used in the relative fair value calculation were as follows: Company stock price on March 7, 2007 of $0.30 per share; exercise price of the warrants of $0.33 per share; three year term; volatility of 147.32%; annual rate of dividends of 0%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.90%.
 
Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company calculated the relative fair value of the warrant to purchase 483,467 shares of Company common stock at a $0.50 per share exercise price to be $111,197. This relative fair value has been recorded as a component of the loss on the extinguishment of this debt. The assumptions used in the relative fair value calculation were as follows: Company stock price on March 7, 2007 of $0.30 per share; exercise price of the warrants of $0.50 per share; three year term; volatility of 147.32%; annual rate of dividends of 0%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.90%.

On February 1, 2007, the Company issued a 10% Unsecured Promissory Note to an investor represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $705,883, maturing on March 1, 2007. This note was retired and included as part of the March 1, 2007 10% Unsecured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $4,000,000.

On March 1, 2007, the Company issued a 10% Convertible Unsecured Note (the "TAG Note") to an investor represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $4.0 million. The TAG Note was to automatically convert into 13,333,333 shares of the Company's common stock upon the effectiveness of the Information Statement on Schedule 14C, filed preliminarily by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2007, amended on April 9, 2007 and filed definitively on May 1, 2007 (the "Information Statement"). The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 13,333,333 shares of the common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment) and exercisable for a period of five years. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the TAG Note and the warrant. Such registration rights are more fully set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.   The TAG Note was subsequently amended in March 2007 to $4.25 million and the number of shares of common stock that the TAG Note will convert into was increased to 14,166,667 shares of common stock. Additionally, the warrant was also amended to entitle the investor to purchase 14,166,667 shares of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years. In June 2007, the note automatically converted to equity and the 14,166,667 shares were issued to the investor.

Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company calculated the relative fair value of the warrant to purchase 14,166,667 shares of Company common stock to be $3,825,000. This relative fair value is being accreted through interest expense over the six month life of the Note. The assumptions used in the relative fair value calculation were as follows: Company stock price on March 7, 2007 of $0.30 per share; exercise price of the warrants of $0.33 per share; five year term; volatility of 147.32%; annual rate of dividends of 0%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.90%.
 
The Information Statement related to a stockholder action which had been approved by written consent of stockholders of the Company who held approximately 53% (in excess of a majority) of the voting power of the common stock. Such stockholder action approved: (i) a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate of Amendment") pursuant to which the authorized common stock of the Company under the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, was increased from 100,000,000 shares up to 200,000,000 shares of such common stock, to be effective as of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, and (ii) as required by the rules of the American Stock Exchange, the issuance of the Note that, upon exercise and conversion thereof, would result in the issuance in an aggregate amount greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock. In accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the stockholder action was expected to become effective twenty (20) calendar days following the mailing of the Information Statement, or as soon thereafter as was reasonably practicable.

On April 27, 2007, The Company issued a 10% Convertible Unsecured Note (the “Note”) to certain investors represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $250,000. The Note will automatically convert into 833,333 shares of common stock upon the effectiveness of the Information Statement on Schedule 14C, filed preliminarily by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2007, amended on April 9, 2007 and filed definitively on May 1, 2007. The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years. In June 2007, the note automatically converted to equity and the 833,333 shares were issued to the investor.

Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company calculated the relative fair value of the warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of Company common stock to be $118,421. The note is due on August 31, 2007 and the relative fair value of the warrants was being charged to interest expense over the four month term. The assumptions used in the relative fair value calculation were as follows: Company stock price on April 27, 2007 of $0.29 per share; exercise price of the warrants of $0.33 per share; five year term; volatility of 152.97%; annual rate of dividends of 0%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.95%.

On June 6, 2007, the Company issued a 10% Convertible Unsecured Note (the "Note") to certain investors represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $250,000. This note is due on demand and is convertible into 833,333 shares of common stock at the option of the holder.   In the event that the Company obtains financing of at least $500,000, whether in the form of debt or equity, this Note is to be repaid to the investor immediately upon closing.   The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years.

Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company calculated the relative fair value of the warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of Company common stock to be $113,636. Since the note is due on demand, this relative fair value was immediately charged to interest expense. The assumptions used in the relative fair value calculation were as follows: Company stock price on June 6, 2007 of $0.27 per share; exercise price of the warrants of $0.33 per share; five year term; volatility of 159.89%; annual rate of dividends of 0%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.95%.

On June 27, 2007, the Company issued a 10% Convertible Unsecured Note (the "Note") to certain investors represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $400,000. This note is due on demand and is convertible into 1,333,333 shares of common stock at the option of the holder. In the event that the Company obtains financing of at least $500,000, whether in the form of debt or equity, this Note is to be repaid to the investor immediately upon closing.   The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 1,333,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years. In August 2007, this note and the related warrant was cancelled and four notes in the amount of $100,000 each were executed between the Company and each of the individual TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. investors, with the effective date of each Note remaining at June 27, 2007. Each of the four investors were also granted a warrant to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years. All other provisions of the June 27, 2007 Note and warrant remain the same in the four new notes.
 
Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company calculated the relative fair value of the warrants to purchase 1,333,333 shares of Company common stock to be $164,706. Since the notes are due on demand, this relative fair value was immediately charged to interest expense. The assumptions used in the relative fair value calculation were as follows: Company stock price on June 27, 2007 of $0.23 per share; exercise price of the warrants of $0.33 per share; five year term; volatility of 158.58%; annual rate of dividends of 0%; and a risk free interest rate of 4.95%.

On August 24, 2007, we executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a certain investor represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company sold 550,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to the investor at the purchase price of $0.21 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $115,500.

Note 8 - Stock Based Compensation  

The 2003 Incentive Plan (“2003 Plan”) authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of options. It also authorizes the issuance of stock appreciation rights. The options granted may be a combination of both incentive and nonstatutory options, generally vest over a three year period from the date of grant, and expire ten years from the date of grant. On August 6, 2007, a majority of the Company’s shareholders voted to increase the number of shares authorized under the 2003 Incentive Plan to 20,000,000 shares from the previous authorized amount of 10,000,000 shares.

To the extent that CSI derives a tax benefit from options exercised by employees, such benefit will be credited to additional paid-in capital when realized on the Company’s income tax return. There were no tax benefits realized by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 or during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004.

  Note 9 - Loss Per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options using the “treasury stock” method and the effect of convertible debt instruments as if they had been converted at the beginning of each period presented.
 
Basic and diluted loss per share was determined as follows:

  Legal Proceedings
 
On March 21, 2007, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey against our former employees, Timothy Furey and Craig Cordasco.  We are alleging that Messrs. Furey and Cordasco misappropriated confidential information, broke their outstanding contractual obligations to us, unfairly competed, and tortuously interfered with economic gain.  We are seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. On April 16, 2007, the Superior Court granted a temporary restraining order in our favor against Messrs. Furey and Cordasco from competing with our existing clients or disclosing our confidential information, and ordering them to return all Company equipment immediately. On May 9, 2007, Messrs. Furey and Cordasco filed their answer and counterclaim for tortious interference with economic advantage, abuse of process and breach of contract. On July 10, 2007, the court vacated the temporary restraints against the defendants since the restrictive covenant period in the applicable employment agreements had expired. Management believes the countersuit against the Company to be completely without merit and intends to vigorously defend the Company against this countersuit.
 
 
In July 2005, in conjunction with the acquisition of Integrated Strategies, Inc. (“ISI”), the Company issued a subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $165,000 payable to Adam Hock and Larry Hock (the “Hocks”), the former principal stockholders of ISI. This note, along with $35,000 cash, was to be held in escrow for 15 months. This note matured on October 28, 2006. Pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the merger agreement among the Company and the Hocks, the $200,000 was to be held in escrow to cover any liabilities by any failure of any representation or warranty of ISI or the Hocks to be true and correct at or before the closing, and any act, omission or conduct of ISI and the Hocks prior to the closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the closing. After the note matured, the Hocks requested the entire $200,000 from the Company, while the Company, after offsetting certain undisclosed liabilities, responded that the actual amount owed is significantly less. The Hocks then filed a lawsuit in the State of Florida on December 22, 2006 for recovery of the entire $200,000. On March 1, 2007, a circuit court in Hillsborough County, Florida denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction without explanation to its ruling. The Company filed its answer to the Hocks complaint and its countersuit in July 2007. Management believes the suit against the Company to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the Company against this action.

Effective February 2007, the Company subleased a portion of its East Hanover, New Jersey corporate office space for the remainder of the lease term. 7,154 square feet of the Company’s 16,604 square feet of rented office space were subleased from February 15, 2007 to December 31, 2010. The sublease provides for three months of free rent to the sublessee, monthly rent equal to $5,962 per month from May 15, 2007 to December 31, 2007, $8,942 per month from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, and $11,923 per month from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. Additionally, the Company will receive a fixed rental for electric of $10,731 per annum payable in equal monthly installments throughout the term of the lease.

The Company recorded a lease impairment resulting from this sublease in the amount of $210,765. This impairment charge reflects the unreimbursed costs relating to the subleased space which will be incurred by the Company during the remaining term of the lease. These costs include the differential between the Company’s rental rate for the subleased space and the amount being paid by the sublessee, and unreimbursed common area fees and real estate taxes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview of our Business

Conversion Services International, Inc. provides professional services to the Global 2000, as well as mid-market clientele relating to strategic consulting, business intelligence/data warehousing and data management and, through strategic partners, the sale of software. The Company’s services based clients are primarily in the financial services, pharmaceutical, healthcare and telecommunications industries, although it has clients in other industries as well. The Company’s clients are primarily located in the northeastern United States.

The Company began operations in 1990. Its services were originally focused on e-business solutions and data warehousing. In the late 1990s, the Company strategically repositioned itself to capitalize on its data warehousing expertise in the fast growing business intelligence/data warehousing space. The Company became a public company via its merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of LCS Group, Inc., effective January 30, 2004.

The Company’s core strategy includes capitalizing on the already established in-house business intelligence/data warehousing (“BI/DW”) technical expertise and its strategic consulting division. This is expected to result in organic growth through the addition of new customers. In addition, this foundation will be leveraged as the Company pursues targeted strategic acquisitions.
 
The Company derives a majority of its revenue from professional services engagements. Its revenue depends on the Company’s ability to generate new business, in addition to preserving present client engagements. The general domestic economic conditions in the industries the Company serves, the pace of technological change, and the business requirements and practices of its clients and potential clients directly affect our ability to accomplish these goals. When economic conditions decline, companies generally decrease their technology budgets and reduce the amount of spending on the type of information technology (IT) consulting provided by the Company. The Company’s revenue is also impacted by the rate per hour it is able to charge for its services and by the size and chargeability, or utilization rate, of its professional workforce. If the Company is unable to maintain its billing rates or sustain appropriate utilization rates for its professionals, its overall profitability may decline. Several large clients have changed their business practices with respect to consulting services. Such clients now require that we contract with their vendor management organizations in order to continue to perform services. These organizations charge fees generally based upon the hourly rates being charged to the end client. Our revenues and gross margins are being negatively affected by this practice.

The Company will continue to focus on a variety of growth initiatives in order to improve its market share and increase revenue. Moreover, as the Company endeavors to achieve top line growth, through entry on new approved vendor lists, penetrating new vertical markets, and expanding its time and material and permanent placement business, the Company will concentrate its efforts on improving margins and driving earnings to the bottom line.
 
In addition to the conditions described above for growing the Company’s current business, the Company plans to continue to grow through acquisitions.  One of the Company’s objectives is to make acquisitions of companies offering services complementary to the Company’s lines of business. This is expected to accelerate the Company’s business plan at lower costs than it would generate internally and also improve its competitive positioning and expand the Company’s offerings in a larger geographic area. The service industry is very fragmented, with a handful of large international firms having data warehousing and/or business intelligence divisions, and hundreds of regional boutiques throughout the United States.  These smaller firms do not have the financial wherewithal to scale their businesses or compete with the larger competitors. To that end, the service industry has experienced consolidation during the past 36 months and the Company has been a participant in this consolidation.

 The Company’s most significant costs are personnel expenses, which consist of consultant fees, benefits and payroll-related expenses.

Strategic consulting

The strategic consulting line of business includes work related to planning and assessing both process and technology for clients, performing gap analysis, making recommendations regarding technology and business process improvements to assist clients to realize their business goals and maximize their investments in both people and technology. The Company performs strategic consulting work through its DeLeeuw Associates subsidiary (which includes the Integrated Strategies division).

Strategic consulting revenues of $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $0.6 million, or 21.0%, as compared to strategic consulting revenues of $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The $0.6 million decrease is primarily due to a $0.7 million revenue decrease from DeLeeuw Associates’s largest client, Bank of America, due to a restructuring and resource reorganization at the bank which resulted in layoffs and a freeze in project budgets. Additionally, revenues derived from the Integrated Strategies division have declined by $0.3 million as compared to the prior year due to a continuing reduction in consultant headcount. Partially offsetting these declines are new DeLeeuw Associates strategic consulting projects, primarily six sigma related projects, which contributed approximately $0.4 million of revenue during the current period.
 
Strategic consulting revenues of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $1.7 million, or 20.0%, as compared to strategic consulting revenues of $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The $1.7 million decrease is primarily due to a $1.4 million revenue decrease from DeLeeuw Associates’s largest client, Bank of America, due to a restructuring and resource reorganization at the bank which resulted in layoffs and a freeze in project budgets early in 2007.   Additionally, revenues derived from the Integrated Strategies division have declined by $1.2 million as compared to the prior year due to a reduction in consultant headcount and a reduction in bill rates. Partially offsetting these declines are new DeLeeuw Associates strategic consulting projects, primarily six sigma related projects, which contributed approximately $0.9 million of revenue during the current period.

Business intelligence / Data warehousing

The business intelligence line of business includes work performed with various applications and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing and providing clients with access to data in order to allow enterprise users to make better and quicker business decisions. The data warehousing line of business includes work performed for client companies to provide a consolidated view of high quality enterprise information. CSI provides services in the data warehouse and data mart design, development and implementation, prepares proof of concepts, implements data warehouse solutions and integrates enterprise information. Since the business intelligence and data warehousing work overlap and the Company has performed engagements which include both business intelligence and data warehousing components, the Company has begun tracking this work as a single line of business and will be reporting the results as a single line of business.

Business intelligence/data warehousing revenues of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $0.2 million, or 8.6%, as compared to business intelligence/data warehousing revenues of $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in BI/DW revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily due to several strategic projects that began during the current quarter and contributed approximately $0.3 million and a $0.2 million increase in business with a significant business intelligence customer, Business Objects, compared to the prior year period. The Company provides consulting services for Business Objects and is also a reseller of Business Objects software. The Company achieved the platinum level reseller status with Business Objects during the current period. Partially offsetting these increases were $0.3 million of prior year projects that were completed.
 
Business intelligence/data warehousing revenues of $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $1.1 million, or 13.9%, as compared to business intelligence/data warehousing revenues of $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in BI/DW revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily due to a significant reduction in headcount in the BI/DW business which is the result of the Company’s restructuring and turnover experienced during the second half of 2006. While the average headcount increased by 3 people in the September 2007 quarter, on a year to date basis the Company has experienced a 13 person average headcount reduction in the BI/DW business, which contributed to a significant decline in billable hours as compared to the prior year period. Several large projects accounting for approximately $2.1 million of 2006 revenue were completed. Partially offsetting this revenue decline were new 2007 projects contributing $0.9 million of revenue and an increase in the average bill rate in this line of business during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.

Data management  

The data management line of business includes such activities as Enterprise Information Architecture, Metadata Management, Data Quality/Cleansing/ Profiling. The Company performs these activities primarily through its exclusive subcontractor agreement with its related party, LEC.

Data management revenues were $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, decreasing $0.3 million, or 37.3%, as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The $0.3 million decrease in data management revenue is due to a 6 person reduction in the number of consultants required by our related party, LEC, to fulfill projects for their clients. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, billable hours in this category declined by 38.2% as compared to the prior year period.
 
Data management revenues were $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, decreasing $0.4 million, or 21.8%, as compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The $0.4 million decrease in data management revenue is due to a 4 person reduction in the number of consultants required by our related party, LEC, to fulfill projects for their clients. On a year to date basis, billable hours in this category declined by 28.0% as compared to the prior year period. LEC had several consultants complete their assignments and leave the projects during the current period and have not replaced the projects to date.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue includes payroll and benefit and other direct costs for the Company’s consultants. Cost of revenue was $4.0 million, or 73.3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease of $0.9 million, or 18.6%, as compared to $4.9 million, or 81.1% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Cost of services was $3.3 million, or 68.7% of services revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease of $0.8 million, or 19.1%, as compared to $4.1 million, or 78.3% of services revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decline in cost of services is due to an overall average 18.2% decline in the number of consultants on billing. Since the Company’s services revenue declined by approximately 7.8% as compared to the prior year, the cost of services declined as well. The average consultant headcount was 99 and 121 billable consultants in the services category for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The 9.6% point decline in cost of services as a percentage of services revenue for the current period as compared to the prior period is due to a $0.1 million decrease in stock compensation expense, a $0.1 million increase in revenue due to current year fixed price contracts and software sales, and a $0.2 million reduction in current year cost of services which was incurred in the prior period due to eight full time business intelligence employees that were non-billable. The Company has significantly reduced the number of non-billable consultants during the current period.

Cost of related party services was $0.4 million, or 90.6% of related party services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease of $0.3 million, or 39.8%, as compared to $0.7 million, or 94.5% of related party services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006.   Cost of related party services decreased for the three month period due to a decrease in the headcount required by LEC. Average consultant headcount utilized by LEC were 12 and 18 for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing a 33.3% decrease in consultants billable to LEC as compared to the prior year period.

Cost of services was $10.4 million, or 73.0% of services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease of $2.7 million, or 20.3%, as compared to cost of services of $13.1 million, or 76.0% of services revenue, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Since the Company’s services revenue declined by 17.0% as compared to the prior year, the cost of services declined accordingly. The average consultant headcount was 104 and 131 billable consultants in the services category for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The 3% point reduction in cost of services in the current period as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to a $0.1 million reduction in stock compensation expense and   a $0.1 million increase in revenue due to current year fixed price contracts and software sales, and a $0.2 million reduction in current year cost of services which was incurred in the prior period due to eight full time business intelligence employees that were non-billable. The Company has significantly reduced the number of non-billable consultants during the current period.

Cost of related party services was $1.3 million, or 90.1% of related party services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease of $0.4 million, or 24.2%, as compared to $1.7 million, or 92.9% of related party services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cost of related party services decreased for the nine month period due to a decrease in the headcount required by LEC. Average consultant headcount required by LEC were 13 and 17 for the period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing a 23.5% decrease in consultants billable to LEC as compared to the prior year period.

Gross profit

Gross profit was $1.5 million, or 26.7% of revenue, and $3.9 million, or 23.8% of revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $0.3 million, or 26.8%, and a decrease of $0.3 million, or 6.1%, as compared to $1.1 million, or 18.9% of revenue, and $4.2 million, or 21.4% of revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Gross profit from services was $1.5 million, or 31.3% of services revenue, and $3.8 million, or 27.0% of services revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $0.4 million, or 32.9%, and a decrease of $0.3 million, or 6.6%, as compared to $1.1 million, or 21.7% of services revenue, and $4.1 million, or 24.0% of services revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. These decreases have been outlined previously in the revenue and cost of revenue discussions.

These variances have been outlined previously in the revenue and cost of revenue discussions.

Selling and marketing

Selling and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other headcount-related costs associated with sales and marketing personnel and advertising, promotions, tradeshows, seminars and other programs. Selling and marketing expenses were $0.9 million, or 16.1% of revenue, and $2.6 million, or 15.7% of revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, decreasing by $0.3 million, or 24.8%, and $1.0 million, or 27.1%, as compared to $1.2 million, or 19.2% of revenue, and $3.6 million, or 18.2% of revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The $0.3 million decrease in selling and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year is primarily due to a $0.2 million reduction in payroll expense primarily due to the resignation of a Company executive in December 2006 and a $0.1 million reduction in stock compensation charges resulting from the Company’s recording expense in compliance with SFAS 123(R) which was implemented by the Company in January 2006.
 
- 24 -

 
The $1.0 million decrease in selling and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year is primarily due to a $0.5 million reduction in payroll expense primarily due to a two person reduction in headcount, a $0.3 million reduction in stock compensation charges resulting from the Company’s recording expense in compliance with SFAS 123(R) which was implemented by the Company in January 2006, and $0.2 million of various expense reductions related to immigration fees, dues & subscriptions, trade shows, travel, and others.

General and administrative

General and administrative costs include payroll, employee benefits and other headcount-related costs associated with the finance, legal, facilities, certain human resources and other administrative headcount, and legal and other professional and administrative fees. General and administrative costs were $1.0 million, or 18.9% of revenue, and $3.4 million, or 20.6% of revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, decreasing by $0.5 million, or 33.9%, and $1.0 million, or 23.4%, as compared to $1.6 million, or 25.7% of revenue, and $4.4 million, or 22.7% of revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The $0.5 million decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year is primarily due to a $0.2 million reduction payroll expense due to a two person reduction in headcount and salary reductions taken by two corporate officers during the current year period, a $0.1 million reduction in stock compensation charges resulting from the Company’s recording expense in compliance with SFAS 123(R) which was implemented by the Company in January 2006, and a $0.2 million reduction in bad debt expense recorded by the Company as compared to the prior year period.

The $1.0 million decrease in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year is primarily due to a $0.3 million reduction in payroll expense due to both a two person reduction in headcount and salary reductions taken by two corporate officers during the current period, a $0.5 million reduction in stock compensation charges resulting from the Company’s recording expense in compliance with SFAS 123(R) which was implemented by the Company in January 2006, and a $0.2 million reduction in accounting and legal fees.

Lease impairment

Effective February 2007, the Company subleased a portion of its East Hanover, New Jersey corporate office space for the remainder of the lease term. 7,154 square feet of the Company’s 16,604 square feet of rented office space were subleased from February 15, 2007 to December 31, 2010. The sublease provides for three months of free rent to the sublessee, monthly rent equal to $5,962 per month from May 15, 2007 to December 31, 2007, $8,942 per month from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, and $11,923 per month from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. Additionally, the Company will receive a fixed rental for electric of $10,731 per annum payable in equal monthly installments throughout the term of the lease.

The Company has recorded a lease impairment resulting from this sublease in the amount of $210,765 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This impairment charge reflects the unreimbursed costs relating to the subleased space which will be incurred by the Company during the remaining term of the lease. These costs include the differential between the Company’s rental rate for the subleased space and the amount being paid by the sublessee, and unreimbursed common area fees and real estate taxes.
 
Goodwill impairment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company learned that several Integrated Strategies (“ISI”) consultants were to be ending their projects. Additionally, the continued margin pressure exerted by the vendor management organization structure utilized by ISI’s largest customer continues to unfavorably impact the economics of this division. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS No. 142”), “ Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, instructs the Company to test intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Due to the change in this business, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis during the three month period ended June 30, 2007 and recorded a goodwill impairment of $0.6 million during this period. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a $0.2 million goodwill impairment related to the ISI line of business.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation expense is recorded on the Company’s property and equipment which is generally depreciated over a period between three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is taken over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease. The Company amortizes deferred financing costs utilizing the effective interest method over the term of the related debt instrument. Acquired software is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years. Acquired contracts are amortized over a period of time that approximates the estimated life of the contracts, based upon the estimated annual cash flows obtained from those contracts, generally five to six years. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, decreasing by $0.1 million, or 27.4%, and $0.1 million, or 14.7%, as compared to $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
 
- 25 -

 
The $0.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 is due to the approved vendor status intangible asset becoming fully amortized in June 2007 and a decline in depreciation expense as some assets became fully depreciated during the current period.

Other income (expense)
 
Gain / (loss) on financial instruments was zero and $19,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the gain / (loss) on financial instruments was $0.8 million and ($0.7 million). The Company restructured several debt instruments during the March 2007 quarter which eliminated the Company’s requirement to account for the financial instruments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a ($0.3 million) loss on early extinguishment of debt as a result of the restructuring of the Laurus and Sands debt during March 2007. The Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of ($2.3 million).

Interest expense, net was $0.2 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.4 million, or 67.9%, and an increase of $1.4 million, or 54.7%, as compared to interest expense, net of $0.6 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The $0.4 million decrease in interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily due to a $0.2 million reduction in accretion charges relating to convertible debt instruments and to reduced interest expense related to the Laurus and Sands debt. The Laurus debt was restructured in March 2007 and the overadvance and term note were repaid to Laurus. A settlement agreement was executed with Sands Brothers in March 2007 and the balance due them is being paid during 2007.

The $1.4 million increase in interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily due to $2.8 million of charges for accretion of warrants and beneficial conversion features related to convertible and demand notes executed in the current period partially offset by $1.2 million of reduced accretion charges related to instruments executed in prior years for which the amortization has completed. Additionally, The interest related to the Laurus line of credit has declined by $0.3 million as compared to the prior year due to the restructuring of the line of credit in March 2007. There was also an additional $0.1 million of current year interest expense related to the $4.25 million financing transaction consummated in March 2007.

Discontinued operations

In July 2005, the Company sold substantially all the assets of its subsidiary, Evoke Software Corporation, to Similarity Systems for cash and future consideration. In February 2006, Informatica Corporation acquired Similarity Systems and, as a result, the Company received a $2.05 million payment which was recorded as income from discontinued operations. There were no results from discontinued operations reported during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has relied upon cash from its financing activities to fund its ongoing operations as it has not been able to generate sufficient cash from its operating activities in the past, and there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company has incurred net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, negative cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, and had an accumulated deficit of ($58.4 million) at September 30, 2007. Due to this history of losses and operating cash consumption, we cannot predict how long we will continue to incur further losses or whether we will become profitable again, or if the Company’s business will improve. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $29,000 and a working capital deficiency of ($3.7 million).

The Company has experienced continued losses that exceeded expectations from 2004 through September 30, 2007. The Company has addressed the resulting liquidity issue by entering into various debt instruments between August 2004 and June 2007 and, as of September 30, 2007 had approximately $7.0 million of debt outstanding in addition to an aggregate of $3.9 million of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which was issued in 2006. Additionally, the Company raised $4.9 million and $0.75 million through the sale of common stock of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

The Company obtained $4.25 million in new financing in March 2007 and repaid both the Laurus overadvance and the Laurus term note, in full, through a combination of a $3.1 million cash payment and $0.5 million in a warrant to purchase common stock. Additionally, a $0.5 million cash payment was paid to Sands. A final cash payment of $0.4 million and additional common stock and warrants is to be made in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007 to satisfy the Sands obligation in full.

The $4.25 million of new financing was in the form of a promissory note bearing a 10% annual interest rate and a maturity date of August 31, 2007. An additional $0.25 million of new financing, in the form of a promissory note bearing a 10% annual interest rate and a maturity date of August 31, 2007 was obtained in April 2007. Both notes, totaling $4.5 million were to automatically convert to common stock at such time as the Company has authorized shares sufficient to complete the transaction. These promissory notes were converted to common equity and the shares were issued in June 2007.

On April 27, 2007, the Company issued a 10% Convertible Unsecured Note (the "Note") to certain investors represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. for $250,000. In June 2007, the Note automatically converted into 833,333 shares of common stock upon the effectiveness of the Information Statement on Schedule 14C, filed preliminarily by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2007, amended on April 9, 2007 and filed definitively on May 1, 2007 .

The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 1,333,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years. In August 2007, this note and the related warrant was cancelled and four notes in the amount of $100,000 each were executed between the Company and each of the individual TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. investors, with the effective date of each Note remaining at June 27, 2007. Each of the four investors were also granted a warrant to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share (subject to adjustment), and is exercisable for a period of five years. All other provisions of the June 27, 2007 Note and warrant remain the same in the four new notes.
 
On August 24, 2007, we executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a certain investor represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company sold 550,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to the investor at the purchase price of $0.21 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $115,500. The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 550,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $0.22 per share (subject to adjustment) and exercisable for a period of five years.

Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the Agreement and the warrant.
 
As of October 19, 2007, the Company and TAG Virgin Islands, Inc., as agent for the purchasers (the “Purchasers”), executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchasers will purchase from the Company no less than $4.3 million and no more than $5.0 million in Company common stock, par value $0.001, in multiple closings prior to December 28, 2007. The purchase price of each share of common stock purchased will be the higher of $0.10 per share or the per share closing price on the day that each purchase is effected. The Purchasers will also be issued warrants (the “A Warrant”) to purchase Company common stock, the number of which will be equal to the number of shares of common stock purchased. The A Warrants will be exercisable at a price equal to 10% above the purchase price of the shares purchased and will be exercisable for five years. In the event that the Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance to permit it to deliver the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the A Warrants, the Company will issue a second class of warrant (the “B Warrant”) which is not exercisable until such time as the Company has a sufficient number of shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance and shall not have a cash settlement. The B Warrants shall be exercisable to purchase 1.5 times the number of shares of common stock that the undelivered A Warrants would have been exercisable for. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the Agreement and the warrant. As of November 9, 2007, the Company has received $375,000 and issued 1,875,000 shares of Company common stock, based upon a $0.20 per share market price on the date the funds were received.

The Company’s working capital deficit is ($3.7 million) as of September 30, 2007 compared to ($6.3 million) as of December 31, 2006, representing a $2.5 million improvement in the Company’s working capital. The primary reason for the improvement in working capital is a $4.4 million reduction in debt to Laurus via a $3.1 million reduction in the overadvance, a $0.5 million reduction in the term note, and a $0.3 million reduction in the outstanding line of credit balance. The reductions in the overadvance and term note were primarily funded by the $4.25 million financing transaction completed by the Company in March 2007. Partially offsetting this improvement in working capital are $1.9 million of items negatively impacting working capital comprised of a $0.4 million increase in accounts payable, a $0.2 million increase in short term notes payable due to the financing obtained in June 2007, a $0.7 million reduction in accounts receivable primarily due to the decline in revenue and a $0.6 million reduction in cash.
 
Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately ($1.7 million) compared to ($4.0 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The improvement in cash used in operations was primarily the result of the Company’s effort to reduce operating and interest expense. The Company recorded a $7.4 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, however, this loss included $5.2 million of non-cash charges for items including depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, goodwill impairment, lease impairment, loss on financial instruments and early extinguishment of debt. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities reflect $0.6 million of cash provided by operations primarily due a $0.7 million decrease in accounts receivable.
 
Cash provided by investing activities was $43,000 in the current period compared to $2.05 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company sold its equity investment in DeLeeuw Turkey for $50,000 and acquired $6,500 of new computer equipment. The cash provided by investing activities of $2.05 million during the prior year period is the result of a settlement for future contingent consideration relating to the sale of Evoke Software in July 2005 to Similarity Systems.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cash provided by financing activities during the current period resulted from the sale of $5.0 million of Company common stock and $0.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of short term notes, partially offset by $4.6 million in principal payments on outstanding debt.

On June 29, 2006, we received a letter from the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”) indicating that we are below certain of the AMEX's continued listing standards as set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iv) of the AMEX Company Guide. We were afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the AMEX by July 31, 2006 that demonstrates our ability to regain compliance with Section 1003 of the AMEX Company Guide within 18 months. We submitted our plan to the AMEX on July 31, 2006, and the AMEX accepted our plan on September 26, 2006. We were granted an extension until December 28, 2007 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. We are subject to periodic review by the AMEX Staff during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the AMEX .

On January 29, 2007, the Company received notice from the Staff of the AMEX indicating that the Company no longer complied with the AMEX ’s continued listing standards due to the Company’s inability to maintain compliance with certain AMEX continued listing requirements, as set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iv) of the AMEX Company Guide and its plan of compliance submitted in July 2006, and that its securities are subject to be delisted from the AMEX .

In April 2007, the Company announced that it had been notified by the Hearings Department of the AMEX that the Company’s hearing had been cancelled. The Hearings Department indicated that the AMEX Listing Qualifications Staff recommended cancellation of the Company’s hearing after a review of the Company’s submission dated April 11, 2007, and other publicly available information. As a result, the Company will continue to be monitored by AMEX on a quarterly basis, however, is not currently subject to delisting proceedings.
 
There are currently no material commitments for capital expenditures.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Company’s management to provide its assessment of internal controls for the year ended December 31, 2007. As a result, the Company expects to incur costs, in 2007, of approximately $0.2 million in order to provide its assessment of controls surrounding financial reporting and disclosure in order to comply with this requirement.

Upon completion of the October 19, 2007 stock purchase transaction, the Company anticipates that it will have adequate capital to fund its operations for the upcoming 12 month period. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for further disclosure of this transaction.
 
The Company needs additional capital in order to survive. Additional capital will be needed to fund current working capital requirements, ongoing debt service and to repay the obligations that are maturing over the upcoming 12 month period. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and various short and long term financings. We plan to continue to strive to increase revenues and to continue to execute on our expense reduction program which began in 2006 in order to reduce, or eliminate, the operating losses. Additionally, we will continue to seek equity financing in order to enable us to continue to meet our financial obligations until we achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. Certain short term note holders have agreed to extend their maturity dates of such notes on a month-to-month basis until the Company raises sufficient funds to pay the notes in full. Amounts outstanding under such notes at September 30, 2007 were $1.5 million. Failure to obtain sufficient equity financing would have substantial negative ramifications to the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING POLICY
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48 ”). an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes .” The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48 , we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of September 30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
 
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS  

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (FAS 159).   FAS 159, which becomes effective for the company on January 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The company does not anticipate that election, if any, of this fair-value option will have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. 

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated   financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In December 2006, the FASB issued a Staff Position (“FSP”) on EITF 00-19-2 , “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP 00-19-2”). This FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” If the transfer of consideration under a registration payment arrangement is probable and can be reasonably estimated at inception, the contingent liability under the registration payment arrangement is included in the allocation of proceeds from the related financing transaction (or recorded subsequent to the inception of a prior financing transaction) using the measurement guidance in SFAS No. 5. This FSP is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the issuance of the FSP. For prior arrangements, the FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not believe the adoption of this FSP will have a material impact on its consolidated   financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures .

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because revenues are a key component of our results from operations. In addition, revenue recognition determines the timing of certain expenses, such as incentive compensation. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments and estimates affect the application of the revenue policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict and any shortfall in revenues or delay in recognizing revenues could cause operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses or reduced net income.

Revenue from consulting and professional services is recognized at the time the services are performed on a project by project basis. For projects charged on a time and materials basis, revenue is recognized based on the number of hours worked by consultants at an agreed-upon rate per hour. For large services projects where costs to complete the contract could reasonably be estimated, the Company undertakes projects on a fixed-fee basis and recognizes revenues on the percentage of completion method of accounting based on the evaluation of actual costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs. Revenues recognized in excess of billings are recorded as costs in excess of billings. Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as deferred revenues until revenue recognition criteria are met. Reimbursements, including those relating to travel and other out-of-pocket expenses, are included in revenues, and the actual cost incurred for consultant expenses is included in cost of services.

Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate our identifiable goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset. Future impairment evaluations could result in impairment charges, which would result in an expense in the period of impairment and a reduction in the carrying value of these assets.

Discount on Debt
 
The Company has allocated the proceeds received from convertible debt instruments between the underlying debt instruments and the detachable warrants, and has recorded the beneficial conversion feature as a liability in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The conversion feature and certain other features that are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a variable interest rate feature, a conversion reset provision and redemption option, have been recorded at their fair value within the terms of SFAS No. 133 as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown on the Statement of Operations. The Company has also recorded the resulting discount on debt related to the warrants and conversion feature and is amortizing the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of convertible notes and notes payable also approximate fair value.
 
We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Generally, where the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is deemed to be not within the control of the company, the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability.
 
In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may also issue freestanding options or warrants. Additionally, we may issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services they provide. Although the terms of the options and warrants may not provide for net-cash settlement, in certain circumstances, physical or net-share settlement is deemed to not be within the control of the company and, accordingly, we are required to account for these freestanding options and warrants as derivative financial instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
 
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.
 
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
 
- 30 -

 
If freestanding options or warrants were issued and will be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities (rather than as equity), the proceeds are first allocated to the fair value of those instruments. When the embedded derivative instrument is to be bifurcated and accounted for as a liability, the remaining proceeds received are then allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instrument itself, usually resulting in that instrument being recorded at a discount from its face amount. In circumstances where a freestanding derivative instrument is to be accounted for as an equity instrument, the proceeds are allocated between the convertible instrument and the derivative equity instrument, based on their relative fair values.
 
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt instrument resulting from the allocation of part of the proceeds to embedded derivative instruments and/or freestanding options or warrants is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
 
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
Equity investments

The Company acquired a 49% interest in Leading Edge Communications Corporation in May 2004. The Company accounts for its share of the income (losses) of this investment under the equity method.
 
Stock-based Compensation

SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123R”), “Share-Based Payment,” issued in December 2004, is a revision of FASB Statement 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. The Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. On March 29, 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB No. 107”), which provides the Staff’s views regarding interactions between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations of the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.

SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
 
(1) A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
 
(2) A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
 
The Company was required to adopt this standard effective with the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, therefore, we have adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 using the modified prospective method. We previously accounted for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion 25 and, as such, generally recognized no compensation cost for employee stock options. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in future periods.

The Company follows EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”) in accounting for stock options issued to non-employees. Under EITF 96-18, the equity instruments should be measured at the fair value of the equity instrument issued. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company granted stock options to non-employee recipients. In compliance with EITF 96-18, the fair value of these options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company is recognizing the fair value of these options as expense over the three year vesting period of the options.

Income Taxes

Determining the consolidated provision for income tax expense, income tax liabilities and deferred tax assets and liabilities involves judgment.  We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is maintained by the Company due to the impact of the current years net operating loss (NOL). In the event that we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to net income in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed. Our current valuation allowance relates predominately to benefits derived from the utilization of our NOL’s.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and State income tax purposes of approximately $25.8 million, which begin to expire in 2023. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards if there has been an ownership change, as defined by the tax law. An ownership change, as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, may limit the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards on a yearly basis. The Company has issued a substantial number of shares of common stock during 2007, which may place limitations on the current net loss carryforwards.
 
The Company does not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. However, the Company does recognize market risk from interest rate exposure. The Company has financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures      
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.    

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms due to a control deficiency related to lack of certain internal controls over period-end financial reporting.

  In connection with the preparation of our Annual Reports for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, our management identified certain weaknesses in our internal control procedures and in our evaluation of complex financing transactions in 2004 and 2005, and in the valuation and purchase accounting of our acquisitions in 2004. In addition, management previously identified another internal control matter regarding period-end financial reporting related to the identification of transactions, primarily contractual, and accounting for them in the proper periods. We believe that we have satisfactorily addressed the control deficiencies and material weakness relating to the accounting for complex financing transactions and the valuation and purchase accounting for acquisitions during 2005 and 2006.

We believe that we have satisfactorily addressed the control deficiencies and material weaknesses relating to these matters, however, this is an ongoing process and continual monitoring will be required.

Management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error or all fraud, even as the same are improved to address any deficiencies and/or weaknesses. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Our company also maintains a system of internal controls. The term “internal controls,” as defined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Codification of Statement on Auditing Standards, AU Section 319, means controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the reliability of our financial reporting, the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations and our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, our management identified certain weaknesses in our internal control procedures and in our evaluation of complex financing transactions in 2004 and 2005, and in the valuation and purchase accounting of our acquisitions in 2004. Our management and Board of Directors adopted corrective measures in the first quarter 2005, and such corrective measures were incorporated into the controls and procedures of the Company, finally effective as of the third quarter 2006. As a result, no significant changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s third quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 
On March 21, 2007, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey against our former employees, Timothy Furey and Craig Cordasco.  We are alleging that Messrs. Furey and Cordasco misappropriated confidential information, broke their outstanding contractual obligations to us, unfairly competed, and tortuously interfered with economic gain.  We are seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. On April 16, 2007, the Superior Court granted a temporary restraining order in our favor against Messrs. Furey and Cordasco from competing with our existing clients or disclosing our confidential information, and ordering them to return all Company equipment immediately. On May 9, 2007, Messrs. Furey and Cordasco filed their answer and counterclaim for tortious interference with economic advantage, abuse of process and breach of contract. On July 10, 2007, the court vacated the temporary restraints against the defendants since the restrictive covenant period in the applicable employment agreements had expired. Management believes the countersuit against the Company to be completely without merit and intends to vigorously defend the Company against this countersuit.

In July 2005, in conjunction with the acquisition of Integrated Strategies, Inc. (“ISI”), the Company issued a subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $165,000 payable to Adam Hock and Larry Hock (the “Hocks”), the former principal stockholders of ISI. This note, along with $35,000 cash, was to be held in escrow for 15 months. This note matured on October 28, 2006. Pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the merger agreement among the Company and the Hocks, the $200,000 was to be held in escrow to cover any liabilities by any failure of any representation or warranty of ISI or the Hocks to be true and correct at or before the closing, and any act, omission or conduct of ISI and the Hocks prior to the closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the closing. After the note matured, the Hocks requested the entire $200,000 from the Company, while the Company, after offsetting certain undisclosed liabilities, responded that the actual amount owed is significantly less. The Hocks then filed a lawsuit in the State of Florida on December 22, 2006 for recovery of the entire $200,000. On March 1, 2007, a circuit court in Hillsborough County, Florida denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction without explanation to its ruling. The Company filed its answer to the Hocks complaint and its countersuit in July 2007. Management believes the suit against the Company to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the Company against this action.
 
Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
On August 24, 2007, we executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a certain investor represented by TAG Virgin Islands, Inc. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company sold 550,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to the investor at the purchase price of $0.21 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $115,500. The investor was also granted a warrant to purchase 550,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $0.22 per share (subject to adjustment) and exercisable for a period of five years. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the Agreement and the warrant. Such registration rights are more fully set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. These issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D.
