Item 1. Description of Business
General
     US Dataworks is a developer of payment processing software, serving several of the top 25 banking institutions, top 10 credit card issuers, major retailers and the United States Government. We generate revenue from the licensing, system integration and maintenance of our core product, Clearingworks™, and its component subsystems, ClearingworksACH, ClearingworksCHECK21, ClearingworksPAYMENTS and ClearingworksSECURE. Our software is designed to enable organizations to transition from traditional paper-based payment and billing processes to electronic payment solutions. Our products include check processing, point-of-purchase transactions and turnkey Automated Clearing House, or ACH, payments. ACH payments are highly reliable and efficient electronic fund transfers among participating depository financial institutions including the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States. Our products are designed to provide organizations with an in-house solution that will complement and enhance such organizations’ existing technologies, systems and operational workflow. Our strategy is to identify, design and develop products that fill specific niches in the payment processing industry.
Background
     US Dataworks was incorporated in the state of Colorado as JLQ, Inc. in December 1994, and we changed our name to New World Publishing in October 1997. In May 1999, we acquired Communications Television, Inc., a California corporation, and changed our business to an Internet marketing and technology infrastructure company specializing in supporting cost effective business-to-business and business-to-consumer revenue based marketing initiatives. We changed our name to Sonicport.com, Inc. in October 1999 and in February 2000, changed our state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada. In February 2001, we changed our name to Sonicport, Inc.
     We acquired US Dataworks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in April 2001. Following the acquisition, we focused our business on developing electronic check processing software. In March 2002, we changed our name to US Dataworks, Inc.
Products
     Clearingworks™ is US Dataworks’ transaction processing platform that provides a fully automated, end-to-end solution for electronic payment processing. Clearingworks™ technology includes state-of-the-art decision-making functionality that determines “best-fit clearing” and “least-cost routing” of payments. Clearingworks™ incorporates US Dataworks’ industry-leading functionality in an easily configurable processing stream to give customers the scalability and flexibility needed to handle all of their payment transactions.

Table of Contents

ClearingworksACH:
Whatever the capture device — point-of-sale, web, telephone or remittance processing system - simply provide Clearingworks™ with the data and it will decision it. Clearingworks™ is an integrated ACH payment management tool that handles all major National Automated Clearing House (NACHA) Standard Entry Class codes. Clearingworks™ contains our industry-leading MICR parsing technology, which provides unsurpassed levels of accuracy and consistency for check conversion. It supports both centralized and distributed payment models and is integrated with most third party payment processing platforms such as PEP+, Wausau Financial Systems, J&B Software, BancTec and others.
ClearingworksCHECK21:
As part of the Clearingworks™ transaction processing platform, ClearingworksCHECK21 functionality leverages leading edge technologies to deliver an end-to-end solution for converting paper checks to substitute checks for banks and other payment processors. Clearingworks™ smart routing capability allows images to be routed to only those institutions that are equipped to receive image exchange transmissions. It provides an infrastructure through which these electronic transmissions will be received, downloaded, printed and delivered to the paying bank.
ClearingworksPAYMENTS:
ClearingworksPAYMENTS payments functionality brings new innovation to problem solving in a traditional remittance environment. Conventional remittance processing requires an additional encoding pass to create a paper-based cash letter deposit. Clearingworks™, however, creates electronic cash letter deposits using ACH and Check 21 networks for a complete electronic solution. Express batching allows items to be processed independently from their physical capture batch, while a robust web architecture allows payments to be keyed in and processed from anywhere at any time.
ClearingworksSECURE:
Clearingworks™ addresses all aspects of the enterprise to ensure total protection, including issues such as compliance, information assurance, privacy, business continuity, fraud, and disaster recovery.
Customers
     US Dataworks’ customers include five of the top 25 banking institutions in the United States, four of the top 10 credit card issuers in the United States, major retailers and two United States Government agencies.
Strategic Business Relationships
     We believe that, in addition to growth from organic sales, aligning ourselves with key strategic partners to sell and distribute our software products will accelerate our revenue growth and capture of market share. Further, we expect that these strategic business relationships, among other factors, will help us achieve positive cash flow in the near future. As of June 13, 2005, we have aligned ourselves with eight strategic partners as a core component of our sales and distribution strategy. In fiscal 2005, our strategic resellers accounted for 32% of our net revenue.
     We also have a key strategic alliance with Thomson Financial Publishing, a unit of Thomson Corporation, to incorporate its EPICWare database into our products. We plan to pursue additional strategic alliances to help increase market share.
Competition
     Our competitors include E-Funds, Equifax, Wausau Financial Systems, J&B Software and Telecheck. The services offered by these competitors include electronic billing and payment, electronic funds transfer, payment solutions, reconciliation, checks by phone and recurring billing, as well as value-added services such as strategy consulting, marketing and technology infrastructure. The majority of these offerings are on an out-sourced basis, while our products offer an in-house solution.
     We believe that the principal competitive factors determining success in the financial services software market include:
    reputation for reliability and service;
 
    breadth and quality of services;
 
    technological innovation and understanding client strategies and needs;

3


Table of Contents

    creative design and systems engineering expertise;
 
    easy-to-use software;
 
    effective customer support;
 
    processing speed and accuracy; and
 
    pricing.
     We believe we compete favorably with respect to these factors. However, the market for payment processing software is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to significant technological change. As the market grows, we expect competition to increase. Increased competition may result in price reductions and reduced margins.
     We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully. If we fail to compete successfully, we may fail to gain market share or lose existing market share and our financial condition, operating results and business could be adversely affected.
Patents and Trademarks
     US Dataworks has obtained trademarks on the names of our premier products and services, including Clearingworksand a currently unlicensed, newly developed product, ZeroPass . We also have applied for patents on ChecKey and ImageKey, which are products currently in development. These applications are pending. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property.
Government Regulation
     As a processor of ACH payments, we must comply with federal laws governing the processing of electronic transactions. We are in compliance with all federal laws and work closely with NACHA to ensure our systems remain both compliant with the laws and regulations, as well as NACHA guidelines.
Employees
     As of June 13, 2005, we have 42 employees, all of which are full-time employees. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement with our employees. We believe our employee relations to be good.
Research and Development
     For fiscal 2005 and 2004 we spent approximately $481,416 and $63,543, respectively, on research and development activities.
Item 2. Description of Property
     Our principal executive offices, currently consisting of 15,354 square feet of office space, are located at 5301 Hollister Road, Suite 250, Houston, Texas 77040, which is leased through July 2007.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
     From time to time, we are involved in various legal and other proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business. We believe that none of these proceedings, if adversely determined, would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
     Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
     None.

     The issuances disclosed in this Item 5 were made to accredited investors and were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
     The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report.
Critical Accounting Policies
     The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We believe that of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements), the following are critical accounting policies, which may involve a higher degree of judgment, complexity and estimates.
Revenue Recognition
     We recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” We license our software products under non-exclusive, non-transferable license agreements. These arrangements do not require significant production, modification or customization, therefore revenue is recognized when the license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software product has occurred, the related fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.
     In certain instances, we license our software on a transactional fee basis in lieu of an up-front licensing fee. In these arrangements, the customer is charged a fee based upon the number of items processed by the software and we recognize revenue as these transactions occur. The transaction fee also includes the provision of standard maintenance and support services as well as product upgrades should such upgrades become available.
     If professional services are provided in conjunction with the installation of the software licensed, revenue is recognized when those services have been provided.
     For license agreements that include a separately identifiable fee for contracted maintenance services, such revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance agreement noted in the license agreement, but following any installation period of the software.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
     We extend credit to our customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure our accounts receivables. We evaluate our accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectibility and provide for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.

Table of Contents

     Four of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank, Regulus Group, General Electric Corporation and Citibank, accounted for 34%, 19%, 12% and 12%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2005. Three of our customers, the Federal Reserve Bank, CapitalOne and Citibank, accounted for 44%, 16% and 16%, respectively, of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2004. Two of our strategic resellers, BancTec and Computer Sciences Corporation, accounted for an aggregate of 32% of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2005. BancTec accounted for 42% of our net revenue for the year ended March 31, 2004.
     At March 31, 2005, amounts due from three customers, one an entity of the U.S. Federal government, accounted for 23%, 18% and 10%, respectively, of accounts receivable. Additionally, at March 31, 2005, amounts due from a strategic reseller accounted for 42% of accounts receivable.
Results of Operations
     The results of operations reflected in this discussion include the operations of US Dataworks for the past two years.
Revenue
     Revenues decreased by $755,521 or 22% from $3,442,270 in fiscal 2004 to $2,686,749 in fiscal 2005. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1,367,251 or 69% in licensing revenue partially offset by an increase of $482,905 or 359% in transactional revenues. Additionally, in the prior fiscal year, the Company recorded $900,000 in software licensing revenues due to a software licensing and technology sharing agreement entered into with an entity of the U.S. Federal government and had no such similar large licensing revenue event in fiscal 2005.
Cost of Revenue
     Cost of revenue principally includes the cost of personnel who perform the services associated with our software maintenance and installation revenue activities, and the cost of third party software that is used by our software to convert electronic data into acceptable formats utilized by the nation’s banking system. Total cost of revenue increased by $119,587 or 15% from $784,146 in fiscal 2004 to $903,733 in fiscal 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of combined maintenance and services revenues for the current year was 62% as compared to 59% in the prior year. The increase in the dollar amount of cost of sales is principally as a result of an increased number of customers utilizing our annual maintenance services.
Operating Expenses
     Total operating expenses increased by $2,094,958 or 45% from $4,642,824 in fiscal 2004 to $6,737,782 in fiscal 2005. The increase in operating expenses was principally attributable to a $2,085,829 increase in personnel related costs primarily due to an increase in our headcount to 41 at March 31, 2005 compared to 21 at March 31, 2004. Additionally, marketing and advertising expenses increased $652,001 in the current year. These increases were offset by a $775,534 decrease in legal and accounting fees. In the prior year period we entered into an unusually high level of capital restructuring transactions and incurred the associated high level of legal, accounting and consulting expenses. We do not expect these unusually high level of capital restructuring transactions and the associated high level of legal, accounting and consulting expenses incurred in the prior year to continue in future periods.
Other Expenses
     Total other expenses, including interest expense and financing costs, decreased $3,599,159 or 71% from $5,103,672 in fiscal 2004 to $1,504,513 in fiscal 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the non-recurring, non-cash financing charges incurred in our capital restructuring transactions in the prior year offset by approximately $924,000 of costs incurred in the current year in the settlement of a lawsuit brought by a former investor (See Note 7 to the Financial Statements).
Net Loss
     Net loss decreased by $629,093 or 9% from a net loss of $7,088,372 in fiscal 2004 to a net loss of $6,459,279 in fiscal 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations for the last two fiscal years. We have obtained our required cash resources through the sale of debt and equity securities. We may not operate profitably in the future and may be required to continue the sale of debt and equity securities to finance our operations.
     Management has specific plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
    In addition to the two June 2005 capital transactions discussed below, Management plans to raise additional capital through private placements of our common stock and/or the sale of debt that is convertible into common stock.
 
    Management believes that a month-to-month professional services contract with an existing major financial services customer that was executed in June 2005, together with a software licensing and maintenance services contract with this same customer executed in August 2005 will generate significant revenue and significantly reduce the negative cash flows from operations for fiscal 2006.
 
    Additionally, Management believes that the demand for our software and professional services will continue to expand as the United States market embraces the new payment processing opportunities available under changing regulations such as the Check Clearing Act for the 21st Century. Management believes that increased demand for our solutions, including our recently introduced Clearingworks™ product, will lead to increased cash flows from up-front license fees, transaction based contract fees and increases in professional services revenues.
     There can be no assurance that our planned activities will be successful or that we will ultimately attain profitability. Our long term viability depends on our ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to fund the continuation of our business operations and to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows to sustain our operations. We will need to increase revenues from software licenses, transaction based software license contracts and professional services agreements to become profitable.
     Cash and cash equivalents increased by $321,997 from $1,203,389 at March 31, 2004 to $1,525,386 at March 31, 2005. Cash used for operating activities was $3,513,759 in fiscal 2004 compared to $4,053,807 in fiscal 2005.
     Cash used for investing activities for fiscal 2004 and 2005 consisted of the purchase of property and equipment and repayments to our affiliates totaling $234,001 and $305,854, respectively
     Financing activities provided cash of $4,681,658 in fiscal 2005 and included $4,650,000 proceeds from stock sales, $1,173,158 from the exercise of warrants and options, offset by a $500,000 debt repayment.
     Financing activities provided cash of $4,942,585 in fiscal 2004 and included $4,150,000 proceeds from stock sales, $2,190,000 from the issuance of promissory notes, and $38,597 from the exercise of warrants and options, offset by $684,330 in debt repayments and a $500,000 repurchase of treasury stock.
     In June 2005, we sold a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $770,000, with an original issue discount of $70,000 and warrants to purchase 879,080 shares of common stock. We also negotiated definitive agreements, effective as of June 16, 2005, with nine accredited investors for the sale of 1,258,654 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $600,000. The agreements also provide that we will issue warrants, exercisable over a three year period beginning in December 2005, to purchase an aggregate of 629,328 shares of Common Stock. We are currently awaiting approval of the American Stock Exchange for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and anticipate receipt of such approval in early July 2005. Upon receipt of approval, we will execute the agreements and issue the shares of Common Stock and warrants.
     As a result of our recent capital raising transactions, our increased level of transactional revenues achieved in fiscal 2005, and the increased revenues to be received from recently executed contracts, we believe we currently have adequate capital resources to fund our anticipated cash needs through March 31, 2006 and beyond. However, an adverse business or legal development could require us to raise additional financing sooner than anticipated. We recognize that we may be required to raise such additional capital, at times and in amounts, which are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. If we are unable to acquire

additional capital or are required to raise it on terms that are less satisfactory than we desire, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In the event we raise additional equity, these financings may result in dilution to existing shareholders.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments (SFAS 123R). The statement requires that the Company record stock option expense in its financial statements based on a fair value methodology beginning no later than the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2005, the Company’s fourth quarter of the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard and the method and timing of adoption. Although we have not completed our analysis, we anticipate that the expense would not exceed the amounts disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements had the Company been expensing under the new rule.
Factors That May Affect Our Results
We have a general history of losses and may not operate profitably in the future.
     We have incurred losses for the last three fiscal years. Our net losses and negative cash flow may continue for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2005, our accumulated deficit was $(46,292,182). We believe that our planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on our ability to promote our brand name and gain clients and expand our relationships with clients for whom we would provide licensing agreements and system integration. Accordingly, we intend to invest heavily in marketing, strategic partnership, development of our client base and development of our marketing technology and operating infrastructure. If we are not successful in promoting our brand name and expanding our client base, it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to continue to operate our business.
If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital in the future, we may be unable to continue to operate.
     We believe we currently have adequate cash to fund anticipated cash needs through March 31, 2006 and beyond. However, we may need to raise additional capital in the future. Any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, will increase expenses and may involve restrictive covenants. We may be required to raise additional capital, at times and in amounts, which are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. Under these circumstances, if we are unable to obtain additional capital or are required to raise it on undesirable terms, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, which could require us to:
    curtail our operations significantly;
 
    sell significant assets;
 
    seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require us to relinquish significant rights to products, technologies or markets; or
 
    explore other strategic alternatives, including a merger or sale of US Dataworks.
Our operating results are subject to fluctuations caused by many factors that could cause us to fail to achieve our revenue or profitability expectations, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

     Our operating results can vary significantly depending upon a number factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:
    market acceptance of and changes in demand for our products and services;
 
    gain or loss of clients or strategic relationships;
 
    announcement or introduction of new software, services and products by us or by our competitors;
 
    our ability to build brand recognition;
 
    timing of sales to customers;
 
    price competition;
 
    our ability to upgrade and develop systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;
 
    our ability to attract and integrate new personnel in a timely and effective manner;
 
    our ability to introduce and market products and services in accordance with market demand;
 
    changes in governmental regulation;
 
    reduction in or delay of capital spending by our clients due to the effects of terrorism, war and political instability; and
 
    general economic conditions, including economic conditions specific to the financial services industry.
     In addition, each quarter we derive a significant portion of our revenue from agreements signed at the end of the quarter. Our operating results could suffer if the timing of these agreements is delayed. Depending on the type of agreements we enter into, we may not be able to recognize revenue under these agreements in the quarter in which they are signed. Some of all of these factors could negatively affect demand for our products and services, and our future operating results.
     Most of our operating expenses are relatively fixed in the short-term. We may be unable to adjust spending rapidly to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfall, which could harm our quarterly operating results. Because of the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we do not have the ability to predict future operating results with any certainty. Because of the above factors, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of results of operation as an indication of future performances.
We may not be able to maintain our relationships with strategic partners, which may cause our cash flow to decline.
     We may not be able to maintain our relationships with strategic partners, such as BancTec and Computer Sciences Corporation. These strategic relationships are a core component of our sales and distribution strategy. The loss of a strategic partner could harm our financial results.
Because a small number of customers have historically accounted for and may in future periods account for substantial portions of our revenue, our revenue could decline because of delays of customer orders or the failure to retain customers.
     We have a small number of customers that account for a significant portion of our revenue. Our revenue could decline because of a delay in signing agreements with a single customer or the failure to retain an existing customer. We may not obtain additional customers. The failure to obtain additional customers and the failure to retain existing customers will harm our operating results.
If general economic and business conditions do not improve, we may experience decreased revenue or lower growth rates.
     The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends on the overall demand for computer software and services in the product segments in which we compete. Because our sales are primarily to major banking and government customers, our business also depends on general economic and business conditions. A softening of demand caused by a weakening of the economy may result in decreased revenue or lower growth rates. As a result, we may not be able to effectively promote future license revenue growth in our application business.

We may not be able to attract, retain or integrate key personnel, which may prevent us from successfully operating our business.
     We may not be able to retain our key personnel or attract other qualified personnel in the future. Our success will depend upon the continued service of key management personnel. The loss of services of any of the key members of our management team or our failure to attract and retain other key personnel could disrupt operations and have a negative effect on employee productivity and morale and harm our financial results.
We operate in a market that is intensely and increasingly competitive, and if we are unable to compete successfully, our revenue could decline and we may be unable to gain market share.
     The market for financial services software is relatively new and highly competitive. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, product offerings and evolving demands of the marketplace.
     Some of our competitors have:
    longer operating histories;
 
    larger installed customer bases;
 
    greater name recognition and longer relationships with clients; and
 
    significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources than US Dataworks.
     Our competitors may also be better positioned to address technological and market developments or may react more favorably to technological changes. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including:
    the breadth and quality of services;
 
    creative design and systems engineering expertise;
 
    pricing;
 
    technological innovation; and
 
    understanding clients’ strategies and needs.
     Competitors may develop or offer strategic services that provide significant technological, creative, performance, price or other advantages over the services we offer. If we fail to gain market share or lose existing market share, our financial condition, operating results and business could be adversely affected and the value of the investment in us could be reduced significantly. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully.
We may be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of our client’s sensitive information, and any unauthorized use or disclosure could result in substantial damages and harm our reputation.
     The services we provide for our clients may grant us access to confidential or proprietary client information. Any unauthorized disclosure or use could result in a claim against us for substantial damages and could harm our reputation. Our contractual provisions attempting to limit these damages may not be enforceable in all instances or may otherwise fail to adequately protect us from liability for damages.
If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our business may suffer, we may lose revenue or we may be required to spend significant time and resources to defend our intellectual property rights.
     We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual procedures to protect our intellectual property rights. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, our business may suffer from the piracy of our technology and the associated loss in revenue. Any patents that we may hold may not sufficiently protect our intellectual property

and may be challenged by third parties. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, may not prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property. These infringement claims or any future claims could cause us to spend significant time and money to defend our intellectual property rights, redesign our products or develop or license a substitute technology. We may be unsuccessful in acquiring or developing substitute technology and any required license may be unavailable on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In the event of litigation to determine the validity of any third party claims or claims by us against such third party, such litigation, whether or not determined in our favor, could result in significant expense and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, regardless of the outcome of such litigation. Furthermore, other parties may also independently develop similar or competing products that do not infringe upon our intellectual property rights.

US Dataworks, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of US Dataworks, Inc. as of March 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of US Dataworks, Inc. as of March 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   Organization and Business
 
    General
 
    US Dataworks, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, develops, markets, and supports payment processing software for the financial services industry. Its customer base includes many of the largest financial institutions as well as credit card companies, government institutions, and high-volume merchants in the United States. The Company was formerly known as Sonicport, Inc.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Reverse Stock Split
 
    On September 10, 2003, our Board of Directors approved a one–for-five reverse spilt of our shares of common stock. As a result of the stock split, our shareholders received one share of our common stock for each five shares of common stock held of record on September 29, 2003. The reverse stock split was completed on September 29, 2003. All share and per share amounts in these Financial Statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented.
 
    Revenue Recognition
 
    The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” The Company licenses its software products under nonexclusive, nontransferable license agreements. These arrangements do not require significant production, modification, or customization, therefore, revenue is recognized when a license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software product has occurred, the related fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.
 
    In certain instances, the Company licenses its software on a transactional fee basis in lieu of an up-front licensing fee. In these arrangements, the customer is charged a fee based upon the number of items processed by the software and the Company recognizes revenue as these transactions occur. The transaction fee also includes the provision of standard maintenance and support services as well as product upgrades should such upgrades become available.
 
    If professional services were provided in conjunction with the installation of the software licensed, revenue is recognized when these services have been provided.
 
    For license agreements that include a separately identifiable fee for contracted maintenance services, such maintenance revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance agreement noted in the agreement, but following any installation period of the software.
 
    Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
    For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
     
Automobiles
  3 years
Furniture and fixtures
  5 years
Telephone equipment
  5 to 10 years
Computer equipment
  5 years
Computer software
  5 years
Leasehold improvements
  Shorter of initial lease period or useful life of asset
Maintenance and minor replacements are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Goodwill
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, all goodwill amortization ceased effective January 1, 2002.
The goodwill recorded on the Company’s books is from the acquisition of US Dataworks, Inc. in fiscal year 2001 which remains the Company’s single reporting unit. SFAS 142 requires goodwill for each reporting unit of an entity be tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for each reportable unit. On an ongoing basis, absent any impairment indicators, the Company performs impairment tests annually during the fourth quarter.
SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested annually and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reportable unit below its carrying amount. The Company did not have an impairment of goodwill to record for the years ended March 31, 2005 or March 31, 2004.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amounts shown for convertible promissory note payable and notes payable — related parties also approximate fair value because current interest rates offered to the Company for debt of similar maturities are substantially the same or the difference is immaterial.
Stock Options
SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” establishes and encourages the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock- based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered. The statement also permits companies to elect to continue using the current intrinsic value accounting method specified in Accounting Principles Bulletin (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” to account for stock-based compensation. The Company has elected to use the implicit value based method and has disclosed the pro forma effect of using the fair value based method to account for its stock-based compensation.
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, requires the use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options is greater than or equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation cost has been recognized during the years ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004.
Proforma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For purposes of proforma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is included in expense over the option’s vesting period or expected life. The Company’s proforma information for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:
                 
    2005     2004  
Net loss as reported
  $ (6,459,279 )   $ (7,088,372 )

    0       0  
 
               
Deduct stock— based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects
    (1,835,277 )     (1,720,635 )
 
               
Net loss, pro forma
  $ (8,294,556 )   $ (8,809,007 )

  $ (0.24 )   $ (0.38 )
 
               
Basic and diluted loss per share, pro forma
  $ (0.30 )   $ (0.47 )
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004: dividend yields of 0% and 0%, respectively; expected volatility of 74% and 150%, respectively; risk-free interest rates of 2.84% and 3.75%, respectively; and expected lives of 3.0 and 3.0 years, respectively. The per-share weighted average fair values of stock options granted during the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were $0.58 and $1.10, respectively.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded advertising expense of $147,232 and $104,097, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes, if applicable, represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Loss per Share
The Company calculates loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts included in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Such reclassification did not have any effect on reported net loss.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company sells its products throughout the United States and extends credit to its customers. It also performs ongoing credit evaluations of such customers. The Company does not obtain collateral to secure its accounts receivable. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectibility and provides for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.
Four customers of the company accounted for 34%, 19%, 12% and 12% of the company’s net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2005. Three customers of the Company accounted for 44%, 16% and 16% of the Company’s net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2004. Additionally, the company’s strategic resellers accounted for 19% and 42% of the company’s net sales for the year ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
At March 31, 2005, amounts due from three customers, one an entity of the U.S. Federal government, accounted for 23%, 18% and 10%, respectively, of accounts receivable. Additionally, at March 31, 2005, amounts due from a strategic reseller accounted by 42% of accounts receivable.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS 123R
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments (SFAS 123R). The statement requires that the Company record stock option expense in its financial statements based on a fair value methodology beginning no later than the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2005, the Company’s fourth quarter of the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard and the method and timing of adoption. Although we have not completed our analysis, we anticipate that the expense would not exceed the amounts disclosed in Note 2 had the Company been expensing under the new rule.
3. Liquidity
Since its inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s net losses and negative cash flow may continue for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2005, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $(46,292,182). The Company has obtained its required cash resources through the sale of debt and equity securities. The Company may not operate profitably in the future and may be required to continue the sale of debt and equity securities to finance its operations.
For the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of $(6,459,279) and a loss from operations of $(4,954,766). As of March 31, 2005, the Company had current assets in excess of current liabilities of $1,087,465 including a cash balance of $1,525,386. During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company was able to raise approximately $5.1 million, net of expenses, from financing activities, primarily the sale of common stock.
Subsequent to March 31, 2005 the Company raised additional debt financing of approximately $700,000, prior to offering expenses of $82,000, and had negotiated agreements for an additional $600,000 of equity capital to fund the Company’s operations. Also subsequent to March 31, 2005, the Company executed license, maintenance and service agreements with a major credit card and financial services company. Management believes the Company has adequate resources to fund operations through March 31, 2006 and beyond. (See Note 11).

5. Notes Payable — Related Parties
On January 22, 2001, the Company entered into a note payable with an advisory board member and shareholder for $50,000. The note is non-interest-bearing, is unsecured, and is due on demand. As of March 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on the note payable was $39,000
During fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company issued promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,353,000 to Mr. Ramey, our Chief Executive Officer bearing an interest rate of 12% per annum. On July 10, 2003, the Company consolidated these promissory notes into one promissory note for $1,353,000, bearing an interest rate of 7% per annum, pursuant to the Subordinated, Convertible Note and Warrant Agreement. The terms of this promissory note were such that it could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.80 per share or (ii) the closing bid price of our common stock as listed on the American Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately prior to the date of a change of control of US Dataworks or the date of Mr. Ramey’s notice of voluntary conversion of the promissory note. In connection with this promissory note, the Company issued to Mr. Ramey a warrant to purchase 1,691,250 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The principal amount and accrued interest was due and payable upon demand after July 10, 2004. As of September 30, 2003, Mr. Ramey elected to fully convert the promissory note and accrued interest of $21,277. On September 30, 2003, the Company issued Mr. Ramey 1,717,847 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion. The excess of the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the note and the fair value of the warrants over the carrying amount of the debt is $1,722,631 and has been recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt-related party in the statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2004.

6. Convertible Promissory Notes
Convertible Promissory Notes Outstanding at March 31, 2005
At March 31, 2005 the Company had one unsecured convertible promissory note outstanding in the principal amount of $768,199 due, with interest due at 10% per annum, in three equal annual installments (beginning September 15, 2005). Accordingly, at March 31, 2005, $256,066 of this convertible promissory note is classified as current and the remaining amount of $512,133 is classified as a long term obligation. This note was issued to settle litigation brought by an investor in the Company pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release executed November 12, 2004 wherein the parties agreed to dismiss the lawsuit (see Note 7).
Convertible Promissory Notes Repaid During the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005
Additionally, in accordance with the terms of a convertible promissory note dated June 30, 2003, the Company repaid on the note’s maturity date of June 30, 2004, the principal amount of $500,000 and accrued interest thereon. This convertible promissory note was issued with an original issue discount of $60,000 and interest of 5% per annum payable semi-annually. Pursuant to the agreement, the investor also received a warrant exercisable through June 30, 2006 to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. The Company allocates the proceeds received from debt or convertible debt with detachable warrants or shares of common stock using the relative fair value of the individual elements at the time of issuance. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the Company determined the value of the warrant to be $22,654. The amount allocated to the warrant as a debt discount has been recognized as additional interest expense over the period from the date of issuance to the stated maturity date. During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized $7,667 in interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount recorded on this convertible promissory note.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in the event the conversion price is less than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, the difference is considered to be a beneficial conversion feature and is amortized as additional interest expense over the period from the date of issuance to the stated redemption date. The Company has calculated the beneficial conversion feature of this debenture to be $81,545. During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized $27,596 in financing expense related to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature recorded on this convertible promissory note.
Convertible Promissory Notes Converted During the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005
Further, also in accordance with the terms of the various underlying agreements and promissory notes, at various times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the Company converted into 1,090,376 shares of its common stock the principal amounts and accrued interest thereon of four promissory notes dated June 7, 2003, June 7, 2003, August 4, 2004 and October 2, 2004 in the principal amounts of $50,000, $50,000, $250,000 and $575,000, respectively. Pursuant to the agreements, the investors also received warrants, exercisable over a period of three years from issuance, to purchase an aggregate of 163,750 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.45 to $2.00 per share. The Company allocates the proceeds received from debt or convertible debt with detachable warrants or shares of common stock using the relative fair value of the individual elements at the time of issuance. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the Company has determined the aggregate value of the warrants to be $199,907. The amount allocated to the warrants as debt discount has been recognized as additional interest expense over the period from the date of issuance of the note to the earlier of the conversion date or the stated maturity date. During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized $95,695 in interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount recorded on this convertible promissory note.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in the event the conversion price is less than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, the difference is considered to be a beneficial conversion feature and is amortized as financing expense over the period from the date of issuance to the earlier of the conversion date or the stated redemption date. The Company has calculated the aggregate beneficial conversion feature of these convertible notes to be $475,093. During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized $212,866 in financing expense related to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature recorded on these convertible promissory notes.

Employment Agreements
On April 2, April 2, May 13 and September 26, 2003, the Company entered into employment agreements with its President and Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Vice President Business Development and General Counsel, respectively. Each employment agreement is for a term of three years. Annual base salaries for these four members of senior management are $175,000, $150,000, $200,000 and $150,000, respectively.
On August 2, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Vice President Sales — Remittance Processing Division. The employment agreement is for a term of three years with an annual base salary of $150,000 and, during the first twelve months of the agreement, an advance of future commissions of $75,000, payable in semi-monthly installments. The advance is non-recoverable; however, any commissions earned during the first twenty-four months of the agreement will be reduced by the amount of the advance.
Deferred Compensation
On April 12, 2004, the Company granted a deferred compensation award to its Chief Financial Officer. The award provides for a payment equal to the product of 200,000 multiplied by an amount equal to (a) the Company’s average 20 day trailing stock price on the third anniversary date of his employment (March 17, 2006) less (b) $0.55 (the Company’s stock price on the date of his employment). In no event may the payment amount exceed $430,000. The payment amount, if any, is cancelable in the event of the Chief Financial Officer’s voluntary termination or termination by the Company for Cause (as defined).
Upon the granting of the deferred compensation award, an unamortized compensation expense equal to the value on the date of grant is accrued as a liability and charged to stockholders’ equity. This amount is then amortized over the service period of the award. As the amount of the award is not yet determined because it can be adjusted as stated in the terms above, the award is revalued at the end of each reporting period using the stock price at that time. This variable accounting will be in place until March 17, 2006, the date upon which the amount of the payments on these awards will be fixed. Total compensation expense recognized with respect to this deferred compensation award during the year ended March 31, 2005 was $9,302.

    Litigation
 
    On December 12, 2003, an individual investor filed a lawsuit against US Dataworks in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging breach of an oral agreement between the plaintiff and a former director of US Dataworks. In the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the oral agreement granted him the right to receive additional shares from US Dataworks in the event that he should sell certain shares of our common stock at a price less than $15 per share. The plaintiff alleged that in March 2000, as partial consideration under the alleged oral agreement, he converted three promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $725,000 into 77,856 shares of our common stock.
 
    On November 12, 2004, the Company and the plaintiff entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release wherein the parties agreed to dismiss the lawsuit and the Company agreed to pay the plaintiff (1) a $768,199 convertible promissory note payable with interest at 10% per annum in three equal annual installments beginning September 15, 2005, (2) a warrant to purchase 160,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, which warrant expires on November 10, 2006 and (3) reimbursement of the plaintiff’s legal fees and expenses. The note is convertible at anytime, at the holder’s election, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share conversion price of $1.10, subject to standard antidilution provisions.
 
    Using the Black-Scholes pricing model the Company has determined the value of the warrants issued in connection with the settlement to be $126,000. This amount, together with the value of the convertible promissory note, the value of the plaintiff’s legal expense reimbursement and the company’s legal costs incurred in connection with the settlement totals $924,200 and has been recorded as Investor litigation settlement expense for the year ended March 31, 2005.
 
8.   Stockholders’ Equity
 
    Preferred Stock
 
    The Company has 10,000,000 authorized shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in series, from time to time, with such designations, rights, preferences, and limitations as the Board of Directors may determine by resolution.
 
    Convertible Series B Preferred Stock
 
    The Company has 700,000 authorized shares of $0.0001 par value convertible Series B preferred stock.
 
    In August and October 2000, the Company issued 509,333 and 133,666 units respectively, in a private placement for gross proceeds of $382,000 and $100,250, respectively. Each unit consisted of one share of its voting convertible Series B preferred stock (the “Series B”) and a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. The Series B has a liquidation preference of $0.75 per share and carries a 10% cumulative dividend payable on each March 1 and September 1. The Company has the right to redeem the Series B at any time after issuance at a redemption price of $0.83 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series B is convertible upon issuance into common stock at $3.75 per share. The warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $6.25 per share, which represents 115% of the market value of the Company’s stock at the closing date.
 
    In May 2001, an investor in the Company’s convertible Series B preferred stock rescinded its acquisition and returned 13,333 shares and warrants for the purchase of 2,667 shares of common stock to the Company in exchange for the return of its investment of $10,000.
 
    In August 2004, an investor in the Series B elected to convert his 79,999 shares and accordingly was issued 15,998 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
    At March 31, 2005, there were accumulated, undeclared dividends in arrears of $169,522 or $0.31 per share.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
the Company on July 9, 2003. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.34 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time. On August 4, 2003, the five accredited investors agreed to surrender their common stock in exchange for convertible promissory notes totaling $500,000, due August 4, 2004, with interest at 10% per annum, and warrants to purchase an additional 10,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.34 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time after August 4, 2003. The promissory notes are convertible into common stock at $0.45 per share. On September 15, 2003, one of the investors elected to convert his promissory note for $250,000 into common shares and was issued 555,556 shares of common stock prior to September 30, 2003. The non-cash expense of this stock repurchase of $45,693 has been recorded as financing costs for the year ended March 31, 2004.
In October 2003, the Company sold 1,825,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,650,000, and sold $575,000 aggregate principal amount of 1% Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”). In connection with the sale of the Common Stock and Debentures, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,056,250 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants,” and collectively, with the Common Stock and Debentures, the “Securities”) in a private placement to 11 institutional investors. The maturity date of the Debentures is October 2, 2004. The sale of the Securities resulted in gross proceeds to the Company, prior to the exercise of the Warrants, of approximately $4.2 million. Using the Black-Scholes method, the Company has assigned $2,007,286 of these proceeds to the value of the Warrants issued in connection with the Securities, of which $185,195 has been assigned to the fair value of the Warrants issued in connection with the Debentures. The Debentures are convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments. The Warrants are fully vested and exercisable at any time until October 2, 2006 at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in the event the conversion price is less than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, the difference is considered to be a beneficial conversion feature and is amortized as additional interest expense over the period from the date of issuance to the stated redemption date. The Company has calculated the beneficial conversion feature of the Debentures to be $389,805.
Issuance of Committed Shares
In April 2003, the Company issued 72,486 shares of common stock that it had committed to issue during the year ended March 31, 2003.
Conversions of Convertible Promissory Notes
On June 25, 2003, we amended four convertible promissory notes totaling $887,500 that were issued in March 2001 such that 80.37% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest converted into 2,088,949 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share. At the holder’s option on September 30, 2003, the remaining principal balance plus accrued interest converted at an exercise price of $0.35 per share into 510,157 shares.
In June 2003, the Company issued to an accredited investor an 8% Convertible Promissory Note for $200,000, and also issued warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price $0.35. In June 2003, the $200,000 Convertible Promissory Note was converted into 571,429 shares pursuant to terms of the note. On June 30, 2003, in accordance with the terms of the warrant, the investor elected to exercise the warrant through a net issuance. As a result, an additional 27,273 shares of common stock were issued to the investor.
In July 2003, the Company renegotiated the terms of $1,353,000 of 12% per annum demand promissory notes due the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ramey. The note agreements were entered into during fiscal 2002 and 2003 to fund the Company’s operations. In exchange for the 12% demand notes, the Company issued Mr. Ramey a new promissory note bearing interest at 7% per annum, maturing July 10, 2004, and convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share. Mr. Ramey was also issued a warrant to purchase 1,691,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The excess of the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the note and the fair value of the warrants over the carrying amount of the debt is $1,722,631 and has been recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt-related party for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Stock Options
In August 1999, the Company implemented its 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”). In August 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”), which amends and restates the 1999 Plan. Under the 2000 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be granted is 6,000,000. The exercise price must not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant of the option. The options vest in varying increments over varying period and expire 10 years form the date of vesting. In the case of incentive stock options granted to any 10% owners of the Company, the exercise price must not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Such incentive stock options vest in varying increments and expire five years from the date of vesting.
During the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company granted 2,084,836 and 2,772,500 stock options, respectively, to certain employees that may be exercised at prices ranging between $1.36 and $0.78, and between $2.95 and $0.55, respectively. Additionally, in September 2003, the Company granted 50,000 non-qualified stock options to a non-employee financial consulting firm. These 50,000 options were granted for financial advisory and consulting services, vest through September 2006 and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant of the option. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the Company has determined the value of these 50,000 options to be approximately $110,000 and this amount will be recognized in the statement of operations as consulting services expense over the vesting period of the options.

The valuation allowance increased by $2,092,720 during the year ended March 31, 2005 and increased by $2,097,093 during the year ended March 31, 2004. At March 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $26,261,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards attributable to losses incurred since the Company’s inception that may be offset against future taxable income through 2025. Because United States tax laws and the tax laws of most states limit the time during which NOL carryforwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOL for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income. Based on such limitations, the Company has significant NOL carryforwards for which realization of tax benefits is uncertain. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOL carryforwards could be subject to limitations if material ownership changes occur in the Company. For the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized revisions to deferred tax

    On July 12, 2000, the Company issued a promissory note for $1,127,500 to purchase certain capitalized software valued at $1,040,000 and telephone equipment valued at $87,500. The note was issued to an affiliated company whose significant shareholders are also significant shareholders of the Company. On April 2, 2001, the Company refinanced the note payable with the affiliate. The new note was issued for $1,315,000, which included the previous note for $1,127,500, accrued interest for $136,000, and $51,500 of the amount due to a related party as of March 31, 2001. In December 2001, the software and equipment were written off. In March 2003, the telephone equipment was written off as it was no longer being used. At March 31, 2003, the outstanding balance on the note payable was $961,627, which was included in net liabilities of discontinued operations. In September 2003, the Company successfully negotiated the conversion of $834,168 of remaining debt related to discontinued operations. In exchange for the debt, the holder was issued 417,084 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 208,542 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2 per share. The excess of the fair value of the shares and warrants issued over the carrying amount of the debt was $635,259 and has been recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2004.
 
11.   Subsequent Events
 
    Sale of Convertible Debt, Common Stock and Warrants
 
    We have negotiated definitive agreements, effective as of June 16, 2005, with nine accredited investors for the sale of 1,258,654 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $600,000. The agreements also provide that we will issue warrants, exercisable over a three year period beginning in December 2005, to purchase up to 314,664 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.715 per share and an additional 314,664 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.812 per share. We are currently awaiting approval of the American Stock Exchange for issuance of the shares of Common Stock and anticipate receipt of such approval in early July 2005. Upon receipt of approval, we will execute the agreements and issue the shares of Common Stock and warrants.
 
    Additionally in June 2005, the Company sold to an institutional investor a convertible debenture with a principal amount of $770,000 and an original issue discount of $70,000 for gross proceeds of $700,000. The debenture is convertible at anytime at the discretion of the holder at a price per share of $0.572 into 1,346,154 shares of the Company’s common stock. The convertible debenture is to be repaid in 15 monthly installments of $51,333.33 beginning April 15, 2006. In connection with the sale of the debenture, the Company issued the investor two groups of warrants, Short Term and Long Term warrants. The Short Term warrants allow the purchase of up to 407,926 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.572 per share that may be exercised for a period of 180 days at any time after the later of (i) the effective date of the registration statement covering the

     On April 12, 2004, we granted a deferred compensation award to Mr. Reiland. The award provides for a payment equal to the product of 200,000 multiplied by an amount equal to (a) the Company’s average 20 day trailing stock price on the third anniversary date of his employment (March 17, 2006) less (b) $0.55 (the Company’s stock price on the date of his employment). In no event may the payment amount exceed $430,000. The payment amount, if any, is cancelable in the event of Mr. Reiland’s voluntary termination or termination by the Company for Cause (as defined).

     The Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan is our only equity compensation plan that has been approved by the stockholders. We have also granted non-statutory stock options to purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to stock option agreements. These grants were made outside of our 2000 Stock Option Plan. The exercise prices of these options were equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. These options vest over periods up to three years from the date of grant and have a duration of five years (3,000) and ten years (1,160,000). The exercise price may be paid in cash or by a net issuance.
Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
     In connection with Mr. Figone’s relocation to the Company’s headquarters in Houston, Texas in August 2003, the Company guaranteed a personal loan with Amegy Bank of Texas on his behalf. On May 20, 2004, Mr. Figone repaid the principal and accrued interest in full. Accordingly, the Company is no longer a guarantor of the loan.
     All share amounts and per share prices discussed below have been adjusted to reflect the one— for— five reverse stock split effective on September 29, 2003.
     We, through our predecessor-in-interests, acquired US Dataworks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on March 31, 2001, with an effective date of April 2, 2001 through a Share Exchange Agreement. Terry Stepanik and Mario Villarreal, co-founders of the Delaware company, received 199,467 shares of our common stock and 64,533 shares of our common stock, respectively, and a warrant to

purchase 13,600 shares and 4,400 shares of our common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $3.65 per share. One of the liabilities of this Delaware company that was assumed by us was a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,315,000 in favor of Allstate Communications, Inc.
     On February 14, 2002, we entered into a settlement agreement with Allstate Communications, Inc. As part of this settlement, we transferred all rights in our application service provider technology software to Allstate Communications, Inc. and the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 664,000 shares of our common stock held by Messrs. Leventhal and Montelione were cancelled. In addition, Allstate Communications, Inc. and Messrs. Leventhal and Montelione forgave notes payable in the amount of $260,206 and we forgave notes payable in the amount of $300,519. We also agreed to pay the remainder of the amounts owed to Allstate Communications, Inc. and Messrs. Levental and Montelione, an aggregate of $1,150,000, out of proceeds from future equity financings. Of the $1,150,000 owed, $1,024,400 is pursuant to the promissory note assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Delaware company. On December 31, 2002, this promissory note was cancelled and we issued a new promissory note in the amount of $1,041,482 pursuant to Amendment Number 1 to Settlement Agreement. The promissory note was fully repaid at September 30, 2003 as a result of the conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into 417,084 shares of common stock.
     During fiscal 2003 and 2002, we issued promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,353,000 to Mr. Ramey, our Chief Executive Officer bearing an interest rate of 12% per annum. On July 10, 2003, we consolidated these promissory notes into one promissory note for $1,353,000, bearing an interest rate of 7% per annum, pursuant to the Subordinated, Convertible Note and Warrant Agreement. The note proceeds were used to fund our business operations. This promissory note may be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.80 per share or (ii) the closing bid price of our common stock as listed on the American Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately prior to the date of a change of control of US Dataworks or the date of Mr. Ramey’s notice of voluntary conversion of the promissory note. In connection with this promissory note, we issued to Mr. Ramey a warrant to purchase 1,691,250 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The principal amount and accrued interest is due and payable upon demand after July 10, 2004. On September 30, 2003, Mr. Ramey elected to fully convert the promissory note and accrued interest of $21,277. On September 30, 2003, we issued Mr. Ramey 1,717,847 shares of our common stock pursuant to the conversion.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Ham, Langston & Brezina, LLP for the audit of our financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, and the reviews of the financial statements included in our Forms 10- QSB for such fiscal years were $54,000 and $50,500, respectively.
Audit— Related Fees
The aggregate fees billed in each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 for assurance and related services rendered by Ham, Langston & Brezina, LLP that are related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements but not reportable as Audit Fees were $8,100 and $38,100, respectively. Audit— Related Fees in both fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 were primarily for review of the financial statements and other information contained in our SB— 2, S— 3 and S-8 filings with the SEC.
Tax Fees
The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Ham, Langston & Brezina, LLP for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning in each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 were $10,600 and $7,600. Tax Fees in both fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 were incurred for: (i) preparation of the preceding calendar year’s Federal corporate tax return; (ii) preparation of state franchise tax returns; and (iii) consultation.
All Other Fees
     There were no other fees billed for services rendered by Ham, Langston & Brezina, LLP not reportable as Audit Fees, Audit Related Fees or Tax Fees for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004.
Audit Committee Pre— Approval Policies
     The Audit Committee has established a policy intended to clearly define the scope of services performed by our independent auditors for non— audit services. This policy relates to audit services, audit— related services, tax and all other services which may be provided by our independent auditor and is intended to assure that such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. The policy requires the pre— approval by the Audit Committee of all services to be provided by our independent auditor. Under the policy, the Audit Committee will annually review and pre— approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre— approval from the Audit Committee or its designee. In addition, the Audit Committee may delegate pre— approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated is required to report to the Audit Committee at its next meeting any services which such member or members has approved. The policy also provides that the Audit Committee will pre— approve the fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require pre— approval by the Audit Committee.
     All of the services provided by our principal accounting firm described above under the captions Audit Fees, Audit— Related Fees and Tax Fees were approved in accordance with this policy and the Audit Committee has determined that the auditor independence has not been compromised as a result of providing these services and receiving the fees for such services as noted above.
