Dear Stockholder:
 
You are cordially invited to attend a Special Meeting of Stockholders of InfoTech USA, Inc. to be held at our principal executive offices at 7 Kingsbridge Road, Fairfield, New Jersey 07004 on December 27, 2007, at 9:00a.m. Eastern Time.  The formal notice of the meeting, the proxy statement and a proxy card accompany this letter.
 
On November 13, 2007, along with our wholly-owned subsidiaries InfoTech USA, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and Information Technology Services, Inc., a New York corporation, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Corporate Technologies LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, providing for the sale of substantially all of our assets.  At the special meeting, you will be asked to approve the asset purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to change our name to IFTH Acquisition Corp.
 
Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved the asset purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement, and has determined that the asset purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the holders of InfoTech’s common stock. Our Board of Directors has also unanimously approved the amendment to our Certificate of  Incorporation to change our name IFTH Acquisition Corp. upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement. Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that InfoTech’s stockholders vote “FOR” the ratification and approval of the asset purchase agreement and the name change amendment.
 
The proxy statement attached to this letter provides you with information about the asset purchase agreement and the special meeting. We encourage you to read the entire proxy statement carefully because it explains the proposed transaction, the documents related thereto and other related matters, including the conditions to the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby. You may also obtain more information about InfoTech from documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
I hope that you will be present at the meeting.  Whether or not you plan to attend, please cast your vote on the Internet or by telephone or by marking, signing, dating and promptly returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.  The prompt execution of your proxy will be greatly appreciated.
 

Sincerely yours,

 
/s/ Jonathan F. McKeage

The following summary highlights selected information in this proxy statement and may not contain all the information that may be important to you. Accordingly, we encourage you to read carefully this entire proxy statement, its appendices and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement. Each item in this summary includes a page reference directing you to a more complete description of that topic. See “Where Stockholders Can Find More Information.”
 
In this proxy statement, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “InfoTech” and the “Company” refer to InfoTech, Inc., and where appropriate, its subsidiaries, we refer to Corporate Technologies LLC as “Corporate Technologies,” and we refer to Kaufman Bros., L.P. as “Kaufman Bros.”  We refer to the United States as “U.S.”
 
·
The Proposed Transaction (Page 13)
 
The proposed transaction is the sale by the Company of substantially all of its assets to Corporate Technologies under the terms and subject to the conditions of the asset purchase agreement, dated November 13, 2007, among the Company, our wholly-owned subsidiaries InfoTech USA, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and Information Technology Services, Inc., a  New York corporation, and Corporate Technologies.  We refer to the asset purchase agreement as the “purchase agreement.”  The total consideration to be paid pursuant to the purchase agreement is expected to be approximately $1 million.  The parties currently expect to complete the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement on December 27, 2007, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described under “Terms of the Purchase Agreement” beginning on page 18. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, certain assets of the Company, including its cash, accounts receivable and inventory and shares that it holds of ADSX, will be retained by the Company. However, you should note that if the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement are completed, the Company shall cease its ongoing operations. Pursuant to an interim services agreement and an administrative services agreement to be entered into in connection with the purchase agreement, Corporate Technologies will assist the Company in the collection of its accounts receivable and in the sale of its remaining inventory. The Company will retain its cash at the time of the closing of the purchase agreement, the cash received from the collection of accounts receivable and the sale of inventory, and the proceeds from the sale and utilize these funds to seek to acquire an operating business unrelated to its current business.

The Special Meeting (Page 10)
 
Date, Time, Place and Purpose (Page 10). The special meeting will be held on December 27, 2007, at 9:00a.m. Eastern time at our principal executive offices at 7 Kingsbridge Road, Fairfield, New Jersey 07004.  At the special meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon proposals to:
 
(i) ratify and approve the purchase agreement;
 
(ii) approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation if the purchase agreement is approved and adopted; and
 
(iii) transact such other business as may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.
 
Record Date and Voting (Page 10). Only stockholders who hold shares of our common stock at the close of business on November 28, 2007, the record date for the special meeting, will be entitled to vote at the special meeting. Each share of our common stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to stockholders for approval at the special meeting. As of the record date, there were 5,046,398 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Share Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers (Page 21). As of November 28, 2007, the record date for the special meeting, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned and are entitled to vote, in the aggregate, 135,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 2.6% of our outstanding shares.
 
Share Ownership of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Page 20). As of November 28, 2007, the record date for the special meeting, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (“ADSX”), our majority shareholder, beneficially owned and is entitled to vote, in the aggregate, 2,570,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 50.9% of our outstanding shares. Because the vote of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to ratify and approve the purchase agreement and to approve and adopt the name change amendment, the vote of ADSX is sufficient to adopt these proposals. ADSX has indicated that it intends to vote “FOR” the ratification and adoption of the purchase agreement and the approval and adoption of the name change amendment.

·
Opinion of Kaufman Bros., L.P. (Page 14)
 
In connection with the asset purchase agreement, our Board of Directors received an opinion from Kaufman Bros. that as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in the opinion, the consideration provided for in the purchase agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to our stockholders. The full text of the written opinion of Kaufman Bros., dated November 13, 2007, is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B. We encourage you to read this opinion carefully in its entirety for a description of the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken. Kaufman Bros.’sopinion was provided to our Board of Directors in its evaluation of the purchase agreement consideration from a financial point of view, does not address any other aspect of the purchase agreement and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how to vote or act with respect to the purchase agreement.
 
·
Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers and ADSX in the Purchase Agreement (Page 16)
 
In considering the recommendation of our Board of Directors, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers and ADSX, our majority shareholder, have interests in the purchase agreement that are different from or in addition to your interests as a stockholder and that may present actual or potential conflicts of interest. Our Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered that such interests may be different from or in addition to the interests of our stockholders generally, among other matters, in approving the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement, and in determining to recommend that our stockholders vote for ratification and approval of the purchase agreement. You should consider these and other interests of our directors and executive officers and ADSX that are described in this proxy statement.

The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address some commonly asked questions regarding the purchase agreement and the special meeting. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a holder of InfoTech common stock. Please refer to the “Summary” and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement, the appendices to this proxy statement and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement, which you should read carefully. See “Where Stockholders Can Find More Information” beginning on page 22.
 
What is the proposed transaction?
 
The proposed transaction is the acquisition by Corporate Technologies of substantially all of the assets of InfoTech.
 
What will I receive in connection with the purchase agreement?
 
As the purchase agreement contemplates a sale by the Company of substantially all of its assets to Corporate Technologies, stockholders will not receive any direct consideration as part of the completion of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement.  Upon completion of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement, the Company will retain certain assets, including its cash, accounts receivable, inventory and shares that it holds of ADSX, and the proceeds from the transaction and will seek to acquire an attractive operating business in an unrelated field that desires to become publicly traded through reverse merger.
 
When and where is the special meeting?
 
The special meeting of the our stockholders will be held at our corporate headquarters at 7 Kingsbridge Road, Fairfield, New Jersey 07004, on December 27, 2007, at 9:00a.m. Eastern time.
 
What matters am I entitled to vote on at the special meeting?
 
You are entitled to vote:
 
 
·
“for” or “against” the ratification and approval of the purchase agreement;
 
 
·
“for” or “against” the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to IFTH Acquisition Corp. upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement; and
 
 
·
on such other business as may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
How does the Company’s Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?
 
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to ratify and approve the purchase agreement and “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to IFTH Acquisition Corp. upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement.
 
You should read “The Purchase Agreement—Reasons for the Purchase Agreement; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors” beginning on page 13 for a discussion of the factors that our Board of Directors considered in deciding to recommend the approval of the purchase agreement.
 
What vote of stockholders is required to approve the purchase agreement and the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name?
 
For the purchase agreement to be ratified and approved, stockholders as of the close of business on the record date for the special meeting holding a majority of the outstanding shares of InfoTech common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, must vote “FOR” the ratification and approval of the purchase agreement and the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement. You should note that, because the vote of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to ratify and approve the purchase agreement and to approve and adopt the name change amendment, the vote of ADSX is sufficient to adopt these proposals. ADSX has indicated that it intends to vote “FOR” the ratification and adoption of the purchase agreement and the approval and adoption of the name change amendment.
 
Who is entitled to vote?
 
Stockholders as of the close of business on November 28, 2007, the record date for this solicitation, are entitled to receive notice of, attend and to vote at the special meeting. On the record date, November 28, 2007,
 

5

 
approximately 5,046,398 shares of Company common stock, held by approximately 52 stockholders of record, were outstanding and entitled to vote. You may vote all shares you owned as of the record date. You are entitled to one vote per share.
 
What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card?
 
If you have shares of Company common stock that are registered differently or are in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please follow the directions for voting on each of the proxy cards you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
 
How do I vote without attending the special meeting?
 
If you are a registered stockholder (that is, if you hold shares of Company common stock in certificated form), you may submit your proxy and vote your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card, marked, signed and dated, in the postage-paid envelope provided, or by telephone or through the Internet by following the instructions included with the enclosed proxy card.
 
If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, which we refer to in this proxy statement as holding shares in “street name,” you should follow the separate voting instructions provided by the broker, bank or other nominee with the proxy statement. If you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding the voting of your shares, your shares will not be voted and the effect will be the same as a vote “AGAINST” the ratification and approval of the purchase agreement and the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement.
 
How do I vote in person at the special meeting?
 
If you are a stockholder of record of the Company, which we refer to in this proxy statement as a “registered stockholder,” you may attend the special meeting and vote your shares in person at the meeting by giving us a signed proxy card or ballot before voting is closed. If you want to do that, please bring proof of identification with you. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described above, so your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend.
 
If you hold your shares in “street name,” you may vote those shares in person at the meeting only if you obtain and bring with you a signed proxy from the necessary nominees giving you the right to vote the shares. To do this, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee.
 
Can I change my vote?
 
You may revoke or change your proxy at any time before it is voted, except as otherwise described below. If you have not voted through your broker, bank or other nominee because you are the registered stockholder, you may revoke or change your proxy before it is voted by:
 
 
·
filing a notice of revocation, which is dated a later date than your proxy, with the Company’s Secretary;
 
 
·
submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date;
 
 
·
submitting a new proxy by telephone or through the Internet at a later time, but not later than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on December 27, 2007, or if the special meeting is adjourned, on the date before the meeting date; or
 
 
·
voting in person at the special meeting.
 
Simply attending the special meeting will not constitute revocation of a proxy. If your shares are held in “street name,” you should follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee regarding revocation or change of proxies. If your broker, bank or other nominee allows you to submit voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet, you may be able to change your vote by submitting new voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet.
 
If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, bank or other nominee, will my nominee vote my shares for me?
 
Yes, but only if you provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. You should follow the directions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted and the effect
 

6

 
will be the same as a vote “AGAINST” ratification and approval of the purchase agreement and the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement.
 
Is it important for me to vote?
 
Yes, since we cannot complete the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement without the affirmative vote of the majority of the holders of the shares of InfoTech common stock that are entitled to vote at the special meeting, your failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the ratification and approval of the purchase agreement and the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement. You should note that, because the vote of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to ratify and approve the purchase agreement and to approve and adopt the name change amendment, the vote of ADSX is sufficient to adopt these proposals. ADSX has indicated that it intends to vote “FOR” the ratification and adoption of the purchase agreement and the approval and adoption of the name change amendment
 
What happens if I do not return a proxy card or otherwise do not vote?
 
Your failure to return a proxy card or otherwise vote will mean that your shares will not be counted toward determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting and will have the legal effect of a vote “AGAINST” the proposal to ratify and approve the purchase agreement and the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement.
 
What will happen if the purchase agreement is not ratified and approved?
 
If the purchase agreement is not ratified and approved, InfoTech will not complete the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement, namely the sale of substantially all of its assets. Additionally, we will not adopt the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name.
 
Will a proxy solicitor be used?
 
No; however, the Company has engaged American Stock Transfer and Trust Company to assist in the collection and tabulation of proxies for the special meeting and the Company estimates that it will pay them a fee of approximately $4,000, and will reimburse them for reasonable administrative and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.
 
Who can help answer my other questions?
 
If you have more questions about the purchase agreement, the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement or the special meeting, please contact J. Robert Patterson at (973) 227-8772. If you require assistance in submitting your proxy or voting your shares or need additional copies of the proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card, please contact American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, Shareholder Services Department at 800-937-5449. If your broker, bank or other nominee holds your shares, you should also call your broker, bank or other nominee for additional information.

This proxy statement contains statements that are not historical facts and that are considered “forward-looking” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events. Statements that include words such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “might,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” “continue” or “pursue,” or the negative or other words or expressions of similar meaning, may identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, include without limitation, those relating to future actions, strategies, future performance and future financial results. Although we believe that the expectations underlying these forward looking statements are reasonable, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors set forth from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the “SEC”. In addition to other factors and matters contained or incorporated in this document, these statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, among others:
 
 
·
the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to a termination of the purchase agreement;
 
 
·
the inability to close the purchase agreement due to the failure to obtain stockholder approval or the failure to satisfy other conditions to consummation of the purchase agreement;
 
 
·
the failure of the purchase agreement to close for any other reason;
 
 
·
our remedies against Corporate Technologies with respect to certain breaches of the purchase agreement may not be adequate to cover our damages;
 
 
·
the proposed transactions may disrupt current business plans and operations and there may be potential difficulties in attracting and retaining employees as a result of the purchase agreement, as announced;
 
 
·
the effect of the announcement of the purchase agreement on our business relationships, operating results and business generally;
 
 
·
the costs, fees, expenses and charges we have, and may, incur related to the purchase agreement, whether or not the purchase agreement is completed; and
 
 
·
the matters discussed under “The Purchase Agreement—Considerations Relating to the Purchase Agreement” on page 16.
 
 
The foregoing sets forth some, but not all, of the factors that could affect our ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking statements. A more complete description of the risks applicable to us is provided in our filings with the SEC available at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov, including our most recent filings on Forms 10-Q and 10-K. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Stockholders also should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors and that neither this list nor the factors identified in our SEC filings should be considered a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement.

Vote Required for Approval
 
For the purchase agreement to be ratified and approved, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of InfoTech common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting must vote “FOR” the ratification and approval of the purchase agreement. The proposal to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name if the purchase agreement is approved and adopted requires the approval of holders of a majority of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, whether or not a quorum is present. You should note that, because the vote of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to ratify and approve the purchase agreement and to approve and adopt the name change amendment, the vote of ADSX is sufficient to adopt these proposals. ADSX has indicated that it intends to vote “FOR” the ratification and adoption of the purchase agreement and the approval and adoption of the name change amendment.
 
In order for your InfoTech common stock to be included in the vote, if you are a registered stockholder (that is, if you hold one or more stock certificates for your InfoTech common stock), you must submit your proxy and vote your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card, in the postage prepaid envelope provided, or by telephone or through the Internet, as indicated on the proxy card, or you may vote in person at the special meeting.
 
Brokers who hold shares in street name for customers have the authority to vote on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to the approval of non-routine matters such as the ratification and approval of the purchase agreement and, as a result, absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, brokers are not empowered to vote those shares, referred to generally as “broker non-votes.” Because ratification and approval of the purchase agreement requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of InfoTech common stock outstanding on the record date, failures to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” ratification and approval of the purchase agreement and “AGAINST” the approval and adoption of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement.

Voting by Directors and Executive Officers
 
As of November 28, 2007, the record date, our current directors and executive officers held and are entitled to vote, in the aggregate, 135,000 shares of InfoTech common stock (excluding options, shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units), representing approximately 2.6% of the outstanding InfoTech common stock.
 
Proxies; Revocation
 
If you vote your shares of InfoTech common stock by returning a signed proxy card by mail, or through the Internet or by telephone as indicated on the proxy card, your shares will be voted at the special meeting in accordance with the instructions given. If no instructions are indicated on your signed proxy card, your shares will be voted “FOR” the ratification and approval of the purchase agreement, “FOR” the approval of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name if the purchase agreement is approved and adopted, and for any other matters properly brought before the special meeting for a vote, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will have authority to vote the shares represented by duly executed proxies in their discretion.
 
If your shares are held in street name, you should follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee regarding revocation or change of proxies. If your broker, bank or other nominee allows you to submit voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet, you may be able to change your vote by submitting new voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet.
 
You may revoke or change your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the special meeting, except as otherwise described below. If you have not voted through your broker, bank or other nominee because you are the registered stockholder, you may revoke or change your proxy before it is voted by:
 
 
·
filing a notice of revocation, which is dated a later date than your proxy, with the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 7 Kingsbridge Road, Fairfield, New Jersey 07004;
 
 
·
submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date;
 
 
·
if you voted by telephone or the Internet, by voting a second time by telephone or Internet, but not later than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on December 27, 2007, or if the special meeting is adjourned, on the date before the meeting date; or
 
 
·
by attending the special meeting and voting in person (simply attending the meeting will not constitute revocation of a proxy; you must vote in person at the meeting).
 
InfoTech does not expect that any matter other than the proposal to ratify and approve the purchase agreement and the proposal to approve and adopt the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name upon approval and adoption of the purchase agreement will be brought before the special meeting. If, however, such a matter is properly presented at the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will have authority to vote the shares represented by duly executed proxies in their discretion.
 
Adjournments
 
Although it is not currently expected, the special meeting may be adjourned for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. Any adjournment may be made without notice, other than an announcement made at the special meeting, if the adjournment is not for more than 30 days. If a quorum exists, then holders of a majority of the votes of InfoTech common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter may adjourn the special meeting. Alternatively, if no quorum exists, then holders of a majority of the stock present at the special meeting in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the special meeting. Any signed proxies received by InfoTech will be voted in favor of an adjournment in these circumstances, although a proxy voted “AGAINST” the proposal for the adjournment of the special meeting will not be voted in favor of an adjournment for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. InfoTech stockholders who have already sent in their proxies may revoke them prior to their use at the reconvened special meeting following such adjournment in the manner described above. Broker non-votes, if any, will not have any effect on the vote for the adjournment of the special meeting, and abstentions, if any, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the adjournment of the special meeting.
 
The Proxy Solicitation
 
The Board of Directors of InfoTech is soliciting proxies in connection with the special meeting. Corporate Technologies may also be deemed to be a participant in the solicitation.  The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing this proxy statement and the proxies solicited hereby will be borne by the Company. Additional solicitation
 

11

 
may be made by telephone, facsimile, e-mail, in person or other contact by certain of our directors, officers, employees or agents, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor. We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses for forwarding material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by others. We have also engaged American Stock Transfer and Trust Company to assist in the collection and tabulation of proxies for the meeting, and we estimate that we will pay them a fee of approximately $4,000, and will reimburse them for reasonable administrative and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such solicitation.
 
Attending the Special Meeting
 
In order to attend the special meeting in person, you must be a stockholder of record on the record date, hold a valid proxy from a record holder or be an invited guest of InfoTech. You will be asked to provide proper identification at the registration desk on the day of the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting.

Background of the Purchase Agreement
 
From time to time, the Company and our Board of Directors have, with their legal and financial advisors, reviewed and evaluated strategic opportunities and alternatives with a view to enhancing stockholder value.
 
On or about December 7, 2006, Jonathan F. McKeage, our President and Chief Executive Officer, was contacted by Evan McKeown, then the Chief Financial Officer of our parent company Applied Digital Solutions, informing him of the interest of Corporate Technologies in setting up a conference call to discuss a potential acquisition between the parties. On December 20, 2006, Mr. McKeage, Mr. McKeown, Elam Baer, Chief Executive Officer of North Central Equity LLC, parent company of Corporate Technologies, Greg Wilmes, Vice President of North Central Equity, and Jim Griffith, Chief Executive Officer of Corporate Technologies, held a telephonic meeting to discuss the potential acquisition by Corporate Technologies of substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
Subsequently, and frequently during the course of the following eleven months, InfoTech and executives of North Central and Corporate Technologies held further discussions on this topic, including three meetings onsite at InfoTech.  The first such meeting took place on January 9-10, 2007, attended by Greg Wilmes, Jim Griffith, Jonathan McKeage, Robert Patterson, and other InfoTech management.  The second such meeting took place on September 10-11, 2007, and was attended by Elam Baer, Jim Griffith and InfoTech executives.  The third such meeting took place on November 14-15, and was attended by Jim Griffith and Chris McFayden, Vice President of Corporate Technologies, as well as InfoTech management and employees.
 
Also during this period our Board of Directors met on several occasions to discuss the transaction proposed by Corporate Technologies, and to evaluate alternative options.  Meetings of our Board were held on December 13, 2006, January 19, 2007, February 21, 2007, March 22, 2007, April 4, 2007, April 26, 2007, July 3, 2007, November 6, 2007 and November 13, 2007 for this purpose. All of the directors were present at all such meetings. 
 
Reasons for the Purchase Agreement; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors
 
On November 13, 2007, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions:
 
 
·
determining that the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to and in the best interests of our stockholders;
 
 
·
approving the purchase agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby;
 
 
·
approving the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name if the purchase agreement is approved and adopted; and
 
 
·
recommending that our stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the purchase agreement and the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name if the purchase agreement is approved and adopted.  See “— Background of the Purchase Agreement” beginning on page 13 for additional information on the recommendation of our Board of Directors.
 
Our Board of Directors believes that the purchase agreement is fair to our stockholders. In reaching these conclusions, our Board of Directors consulted with our management and our legal and financial advisors, and considered our short-term and long-term interests and prospects of the Company and our stockholders. In reaching the foregoing determinations, our Board of Directors considered the following material factors, among others, that it believed supported its determinations:
 
 
·
The current and historical financial condition and results of operations of the Company, including the prospects of the Company in light of the increasingly competitive nature of the industry in which the Company operates;
 
 
·
To address the Company’s ongoing operating deficits, the capital requirements involved in growing the Company either organically or by acquisition;
 
 
·
The thorough evaluation of several alternative transactions, including acquisitions of other companies, financings, and sale of the Company’s common stock or assets;
 

13

 
 
·
The terms and conditions of the proposed Purchase Agreement and the likelihood that the conditions to the proposed Transaction would be satisfied;
 
 
·
The potential value that might result from other alternatives available to the Company, including the alternative of continuing the existing operations of the Company, considering, in particular, the potential for shareholders to share in any future earnings growth of the Company and continued costs and scrutiny associated with continuing to operate as a public company; and
 
 
·
The structure of the Transaction as an asset purchase, requiring approval by the Company’s shareholders, which would result in detailed public disclosure and a relatively lengthy period of time prior to completion of the Transaction during which an unsolicited superior proposal could be brought forth.
 
Our Board of Directors also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the purchase agreement. These factors included, but were not limited to, the following:
 
 
·
The need to conduct a thorough ‘market test’ to be sure the Board was not overlooking a potentially superior alternative transaction, including acquisitions, financings, or a sale of the Company’s common stock or assets;
 
 
·
The need for due diligence to establish the ability of North Central Equity / Corporate Technologies to consummate the transaction, including providing the required financing;
 
 
·
The need to conduct a thorough search to identify and acquire another operating business acceptable to the Company’s shareholders, as soon as possible following the closing of the transaction.
 
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by our Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive but, we believe, includes all material factors considered by our Board of Directors. Based on the factors outlined above, our Board of Directors determined that the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement, are fair to and in the best interests of our stockholders. In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the purchase agreement, our Board of Directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative or specific weight or values to any of these factors, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. Our Board of Directors considered all of the factors as a whole and considered the factors in their totality to be favorable to and supportive of its determination and to recommend that our stockholders ratify and approve the purchase agreement.
 
Our Board of Directors believes that the purchase agreement is fair to and in the best interests of our stockholders. Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” ratification and approval of the purchase agreement.
 
Opinion of Kaufman Bros.
 
We have engaged Kaufman Bros. to render a fairness opinion in connection with the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement. On November 13, 2007, Kaufman Bros. delivered to the Board of Directors its written opinion that, as of that date, the purchase price to be received by our shareholders pursuant to the purchase agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.
 
The full text of Kaufman Bros.’ opinion, dated November 13, 2007, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by Kaufman Bros., is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. The summary of Kaufman Bros.’ opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. You are urged to read the opinion carefully in its entirety. Kaufman Bros.’ opinion was delivered to the Board for its information and is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to our shareholders, of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement and does not address the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of InfoTech, or any other aspect of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement. Kaufman Bros.’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote with respect to the purchase agreement or any other matter.
 
In arriving at its opinion, Kaufman Bros. reviewed:
 
 
Trends in the information technology services (also referred to herein as “IT Services”) industry.
 

14


 
Historical business information and financial results of InfoTech.
 
 
Non-public financial and operating results of InfoTech.
 
 
Financial forecasts and budgets prepared by the management of InfoTech.
 
 
Business prospects and financial condition of InfoTech.
 
 
Terms of lending and credit arrangements between InfoTech and third parties.
 
 
Public financial information of comparable companies in the IT Services industry.
 
 
Public financial and transaction information related to comparable acquisitions.
 
 
Terms and conditions of the unexecuted draft purchase agreement.
 
With our consent, Kaufman Bros. assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information that was supplied or otherwise made available by us or that was publicly available to us (including, without limitation, the information described above), or that was otherwise reviewed by Kaufman Bros.  In its review, Kaufman Bros. did not obtain any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of, nor did it conduct a physical inspection or appraisal of any of our properties, assets or facilities, nor was Kaufman Bros. furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals of such physical inspections, nor does it assume any responsibility to obtain any such evaluations or appraisals.
 
With respect to the financial forecasts provided to and examined by Kaufman Bros., Kaufman Bros. noted that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty.  Kaufman Bros. has assumed, with our consent, that such financial forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of our business as to the future financial performance of our business.
 
In preparing its opinion, Kaufman Bros. analyzed:
 
 
The terms of the proposed transaction.
 
 
InfoTech’s historical, present and anticipated financial performance.
 
 
Market multiples of selected companies in the IT Services industry.
 
 
Previous acquisition transactions in the IT Services industry.
 
 
Present values of future free cash flow generated by InfoTech’s operating business.
 
Kaufman Bros. performed an analysis of the valuation of InfoTech using the following methodologies:
 
 
Comparable public company analysis of selected other IT Services companies.
 
 
Precedent transaction analysis of selected comparable transactions in the IT Services industries.
 
 
Discounted cash flow analyses utilizing management projections.
 
Kaufman Bros. considered the valuation of comparable companies in analyzing the proposed transactions and the valuation of InfoTech. Kaufman Bros. determined that the consideration to be paid pursuant to the purchase agreement compared favorably with its analysis of the following:
 
 
Multiples at which comparable public companies trade. The consideration to be received is supportable by comparison to the revenue and EBITDA multiples on which similar companies are trading.
 
 
The consideration to be received equates to 0. 1x LTM revenue. The consideration to be received is “not meaningful” on an EBITDA basis to due respective period losses.
 
 
Multiples received in precedent transactions. The consideration to be received equates to 0.1x LTM revenue.
 
 
Comparisons are “not meaningful” on an EBITDA basis to due respective period losses. These multiples are within the range of the multiples received in recent transactions in the IT Services industry.
 

15


 
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation. The consideration to be received is above the ranges of values derived from DCF analyses performed by Kaufman Bros.
 
We have agreed to pay Kaufman Bros. for its services in connection with the provision of its opinion a fee of approximately $50,000.  In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Kaufman Bros. for its reasonable expenses and to indemnify Kaufman Bros. and related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, relating to, or arising out of, its engagement.  In the ordinary course of business, Kaufman Bros. or its affiliates may actively trade securities of InfoTech or its affiliates for their own accounts and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in those securities. In addition, Kaufman Bros. may seek to, in the future, provide financial advisory and financing services to InfoTech or entities that are affiliated with InfoTech, for which Kaufman Bros. would expect to receive compensation.
 
We selected Kaufman Bros. to render its opinion based on Kaufman Bros.’ reputation and experience and its familiarity with InfoTech and its business.  Kaufman Bros. is an internationally recognized investment banking firm and, as a customary part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in valuations of businesses and securities in connection with acquisitions and mergers, underwritings, secondary distributions of securities, private placements and valuations for other purposes.
 
Considerations Relating to the Proposed Purchase Agreement
 
Set forth below are various risks relating to the proposed purchase agreement. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risks relating to the purchase agreement and should be read in conjunction with the other information in this proxy statement. In addition, you should refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in InfoTech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, which is incorporated in this proxy statement by reference, for risks relating to InfoTech’s business, as supplemented with the following three risk factors:
 
 
the market price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price of its shares reflects a market assumption that the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement will be completed;
 
 
costs relating to the purchase agreement, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, must be paid even if the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement are not completed; and
 
 
the diversion of management’s attention from the day-to-day business of InfoTech and the potential disruption to its employees and its relationships with customers, suppliers and distributors may make it difficult for InfoTech to regain its financial and market positions if the merger does not occur.
 
Interests of InfoTech’s Directors and Executive Officers and ADSX in the Purchase Agreement
 
In considering the recommendation of our Board of Directors, you should be aware that InfoTech’s directors and executive officers may be deemed to have interests in the transaction that are different from or in addition to the interests of InfoTech stockholders generally and that may present a conflict of interest. Our Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered that such interests may be different from or in addition to the interests of our stockholders generally, among other matters, in approving the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and in determining to recommend that our stockholders vote for ratification and approval of the purchase agreement. Additionally, the interests of our majority stockholder, ADSX, may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. You should consider these and other interests of our directors and executive officers and ADSX that are described in the proxy statement.
 
Certain Federal Tax Consequences to InfoTech
 
The transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement will be taxable transactions for the Company. The Company will realize gain or loss with respect to each asset sold measured by the difference between the proceeds received by us on such sale and our tax basis in the assets sold. For purposes of calculating the amount of our gain or loss, the proceeds received by the Company and its affiliates will include the cash received, the amount of our indebtedness and other liabilities that are assumed, and any other consideration the Company receives for its assets. It is anticipated that the Company will have sufficient losses (including net operating loss carryforwards and built in gains) to offset the gain expected to be realized from the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement for regular federal income tax purposes, subjecting the Company only to federal alternative minimum tax.
 

16

 
Regulatory Approvals
 
We believe that no state or federal regulatory approval is required in connection with the purchase agreement.
 
Dissenters’ Rights
 
Under Delaware law, our stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights for their shares in connection with the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
 
Closing of the Asset Sale Not Conditioned on Corporate Technologies Obtaining Financing
 
The purchase price for the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement is estimated to be approximately $1 million. Corporate Technologies indicated that it plans to fund the purchase price through its working capital and does not require a financing commitment.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
We will record the asset sale in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Upon completion of the disposition we will recognize a financial reporting gain equal to the net proceeds (sum of purchase price less expenses of the sale) less the book value of the assets and liabilities sold.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the purchase agreement and is qualified by reference to the complete purchase agreement which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement. We urge to you to read the purchase agreement carefully and in its entirety because it, and not this proxy statement, is the legal document that governs the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, we have agreed to sell all of the fixed assets and related purchased assets (as more fully described hereinafter) to Corporate Technologies in exchange for up to $1 million in cash. At the closing of the purchase agreement, Corporate Technologies shall deliver $800,000 to InfoTech in cash and shall deliver $200,000 to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as escrow agent, to be held in escrow. The purchase agreement provides that this escrow amount shall be held in escrow for a period of three months following the closing, during which time incremental amounts shall be paid to InfoTech as certain reduction in real property rental expenses are achieved by InfoTech. At the end of the three-month escrow period, any amount of the $200,000 escrow amount not due to InfoTech for obtaining certain reduction in real property rental expenses.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, we will retain certain assets, including our cash, accounts receivable, inventory and shares that we hold of ADSX. However, you should note that if the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement are completed, the Company shall cease its ongoing operations. As described in “Terms of the Purchase Agreement—Conditions to the Completion of the Transactions Contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,” pursuant to an interim services agreement and an administrative services agreement to be entered into in connection with the purchase agreement, Corporate Technologies will assist us in the collection of our accounts receivable and in the sale of our remaining inventory. We will retain our cash at the time of the closing of the purchase agreement, the cash received from the collection of accounts receivable and the sale of inventory, the proceeds from the sale and the proceeds from any sale of the ADSX shares that we hold. We intend to utilize these funds to seek to acquire an operating business unrelated to its current business.
 
Conditions to the Completion of the Transactions Contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
 
The closing of the transaction is contingent upon Corporate Technologies’ receipt of certain documents, including the following:
 
 
·
An escrow agreement by and among us, Corporate Technologies and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association;
 
 
·
Nonsolicitation and confidentiality agreements executed by Messrs. McKeage and Patterson;
 
 
·
An agreement with Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (“Applied Digital”), pursuant to which Applied Digital agrees to vote all of its shares of common stock of InfoTech in favor of the adoption of the purchase agreement and to certain noncompetition terms;
 
 
·
A noncompetition, nonsolicitation and confidentiality agreement executed by InfoTech;
 
 
·
An interim services agreement with us pursuant to which Corporate Technologies will provide certain software and hardware hosting services to InfoTech;
 
 
·
An administrative services agreement with us pursuant to which Corporate Technologies shall provide us services in connection with the collection of our outstanding accounts receivable and with the sale of our remaining inventory;
 
 
·
A legal opinion of our outside counsel;
 
 
·
Other customary closing documents as described in the purchase agreement.
 
Additionally, the obligation of Corporate Technologies to consummate the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement is dependent on the continued accuracy of our representations and warranties made in the purchase agreement; the absence of any default by us on any material obligation; our performance of all obligations required by the purchase agreement; the receipt of any necessary consents or approvals from third parties; the absence of any violation of law or applicable order or regulation; an absence of any material adverse change in our business; the receipt of all required legal documents and tax clearance letters; the termination of out outstanding UCC financing statements, including those with respect to our financing agreements with Wells Fargo National
 

18


Association and Ingram Micro, Inc.; and the assignment by us to Corporate Technologies of any noncompetition and/or nonsolicitation agreements that we have entered into with any of our employees.
 
Termination of the Purchase Agreement
 
The purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby may be terminated at any time prior to closing of the purchase agreement by mutual agreement of us and Corporate Technologies, or by Corporate Technologies if we fail and continue to fail to comply in any material respect with any of our covenants or agreements contained in the purchase agreement, or if we breach any of our representations and warranties in any material way. We may terminate the purchase agreement in the event that Corporate Technologies fails to comply in any material respect with any of its covenants or agreements contained in the purchase agreement, or if it breaches any of its representations and warranties in any material way. Either party may terminate if an applicable court or agency issues an order or takes a similar action to prohibit the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement. The purchase agreement may be terminated by either us or Corporate Technologies if the transactions contemplated thereby have not been consummated by a mutually agreed-upon date, which the parties have agreed is December 31, 2007.
 
The purchase agreement is also terminable by us in the event of our receipt of a “superior proposal,” as defined in the purchase agreement. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we are prohibited from offering for sale or soliciting purchasers of the assets acquired by Corporate Technologies pursuant to the purchase agreement; however, in the event that a third party makes a bona fide, unsolicited written proposal to acquire all or substantially all of our assets and our Board determines in good faith by majority vote that such proposal is more favorable from a financial point of view to our shareholders and is reasonably capable of being completed, among other factors, such proposal shall be considered a superior proposal for purposes of termination of the purchase agreement.
 
Amendments; Waivers
 
The purchase agreement may be amended by mutual written agreement of us and Corporate Technologies.
 

 

19


 
 
Except as described under “The Purchase Agreement — Background of the Purchase Agreement” beginning on page 13 of this proxy statement, there have not been any negotiations, transactions or material contacts during the past two years concerning any merger, consolidation, acquisition, tender offer or other acquisition of any class of InfoTech’s securities, election of InfoTech’s directors or sale or other transfer of a material amount of InfoTech’s assets (i) between InfoTech or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and InfoTech or Corporate Technologies, their respective executive officers, directors, members or controlling persons, on the other hand, (ii) between any affiliates of InfoTech or (iii) between InfoTech and its affiliates, on the one hand, and any person not affiliated with InfoTech who would have a direct interest in such matters, on the other hand.
 

 
As of November 28, 2007, the record date for the special meeting, ADSX, our majority shareholder, beneficially owned and is entitled to vote, in the aggregate, 2,570,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 50.9% of our outstanding shares. Because the vote of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to ratify and approve the purchase agreement and to approve and adopt the name change amendment, the vote of ADSX is sufficient to adopt these proposals. ADSX has indicated that it intends to vote “FOR” the ratification and adoption of the purchase agreement and the approval and adoption of the name change amendment. In connection with the purchase agreement, ADSX will enter into a side agreement with Corporate Technologies pursuant to which it will agree to certain noncompetition terms.

12

business or with any person, firm, or corporation, (x) partnership or joint venture agreements, (xi) material licenses, including, but not limited to, material software licenses with third party software licensors, and (xii) all amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals of any of the foregoing (the foregoing contracts, agreements and documents are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Contracts” and individually as a “Contract”).
 
(b)  Each Contract is valid, binding and enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by the Bankruptcy Exception, and is in effect on the date hereof.  Each Seller, to the best of its actual knowledge after reasonable inquiry, has performed all material obligations to be performed by it, including, but not limited to, the timely making of any rental or other payments, required to be performed by it under, and is not in material default or breach of in respect of, any Contract, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a material default.
 
(c)  To Sellers’ actual knowledge, no other party to any Contract is in default in respect thereof, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default.
 
(d)  To the best of Sellers’ actual knowledge, no party to any Contract intends to cancel or terminate any such agreement, whether as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Agreement or otherwise.
 
(e)  Schedule 4.13(e)(i) of the Schedule of Exceptions sets forth a complete and correct list of each of the Sellers’ Contracts with its key customers and vendors, as reasonably determined by the appropriate Seller, defined as customers with annual billings or purchases in excess of $50,000 of annual revenues (“Key Contracts”).  Sellers will assist the Buyer to obtain the assignment of only those Key Contracts requested in writing by the Buyer to be made prior to the Closing and will use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer with the assignment of the other contracts requiring such assignment with respect to the Contracts to Buyer without additional expense to Buyer after the date of the Closing for one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, except as set forth on Schedule 4.13(e)(ii) of the Schedule of Exceptions, Sellers are not responsible for failure to assign a Key Contract or other vendor Contract solely because the Buyer is not able to meet credit criteria to do business with the applicable vendor.
 
(f)  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof, prior to the Closing, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the third party consents listed on Schedule 1.1(a) with respect to only those Key Contracts requested by Buyer.  Buyer may, alternatively, request a meeting with the customers or vendors relating to the Key Contracts to obtain assurances that the
 
13

vendor or customer intends to continue its business with the Buyer after the acquisition set forth in this Purchase Agreement, in which case the Buyer shall notify the Sellers that it intends to obtain any necessary consents of such vendors or customers post closing.  If any such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing despite Sellers’ compliance with this Section 2.5(i), then to the extent it would not constitute a violation of any applicable law, Buyer may, but shall not be required to, deliver to Sellers a written waiver of any such consent as a condition to Closing contained in Section 7.5 with respect thereto.  If such a waiver is delivered to the Sellers, then the Sellers shall continue to attempt to obtain such a consent and release for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date along with the Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as any consent for the Key Contracts is obtained and at all times after it has been determined that such a consent cannot be obtained, or if an attempted assignment of the Contract for which such consent is required would be ineffective or would affect the applicable contracting party’s rights so that the Buyer would not receive all of the benefits under the contract for which consent is required, each party to this Purchase Agreement will use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Buyer with the benefits and relieve the Sellers of the burdens of the Assumed Contract for which consent and release is required, including without limitation enforcement for the benefit of the Buyer of any and all rights of the Sellers (and the extinguishment of the burdens of the applicable Sellers) against a third party thereto arising out of the default or cancellation by such third party or otherwise solely because of the transfer of the rights and benefits of the contract from one or all of the Sellers to the Buyer without the consent of the other party or parties to such contract.
 
(g)  Sellers have delivered to Buyer true and complete originals or copies of all the currently in force Key Contracts and any termination of or default notices under any Key Contracts within the past twelve months prior to the Closing, if any, attached as Schedule 4.13(g) of the Schedule of Exceptions.

4.25  Payment of Liabilities.  The Sellers will have fully satisfied and paid any and all Liabilities and obligations of the Sellers arising or originating before or up to the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, whether actual, accrued or contingent in nature.  Without limiting the foregoing obligations, the Seller will have paid all accrued vacation, sick leave or severance pay to its employees, make all contributions to its employee benefit plans, including all ERISA plans, loan or contractual termination fees, employee bonus plan payments, whether oral or written, and any other contingent Liabilities of any nature.  The only liabilities of the Seller that have not been satisfied at Closing are the outstanding accounts payable liabilities of the Sellers, which are scheduled in Schedule 4.25.

The Board of Directors
InfoTech USA, Inc.

Fairfield, New Jersey 07004
 
Members of the Board:
 
We understand that InfoTech USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation,  InfoTech USA, Inc. (New Jersey), a New Jersey corporation, Information Technology Services, Inc., a New York corporation, (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Corporate Technologies LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the “Buyer”), propose to enter into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Buyer will purchase certain Sellers’ assets used to operate its business that provides sales and services of computer, networking and telecommunications products as a value added reseller to commercial, professional, business and governmental customers (the “Business” or “Purchased Assets”) (the “Purchase”).  The total aggregate purchase price payable by Buyer for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”), which shall include $200,000 held in escrow (the “Escrow Amount”), shall be $1,000,000 in cash at the times and in the amounts set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  The Purchase Price shall be payable as full and complete consideration for the purchase of the Sellers’ Business.  The terms and conditions of the Purchase are more fully set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Purchase Price to be received by the shareholders of Sellers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders.
 
In arriving at our opinion, we have, among other things:
 
(i)  reviewed an unexecuted draft of the Purchase Agreement dated November 13, 2007;
 
(ii)  reviewed certain information furnished to us by the Sellers’ management, including financial forecasts and analyses, relating to the business, operations and prospects of the Business;
 
(iii)  held discussions with members of senior management of the Sellers concerning the matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) above and certain other matters we believed necessary or appropriate to our inquiry;
 
(iv)  compared the results of operations of the Business with that of certain publicly traded companies which we deemed to be reasonably similar to the Business;
 
(v)  compared the proposed financial terms of the Purchase with the financial terms of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant; and
 
(vi)  conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate.
 

 
Appendix B

In our review and analysis and in rendering this opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, but have not assumed any responsibility to independently investigate or verify, the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information that was supplied or otherwise made available by the Sellers or that was publicly available to us (including, without limitation, the information described above), or that was otherwise reviewed by us.  In our review, we did not obtain any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of, nor did we conduct a physical inspection or appraisal of any of the properties, assets or facilities of the Sellers, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals of such physical inspections, nor do we assume any responsibility to obtain any such evaluations or appraisals.
 
With respect to the financial forecasts provided to and examined by us, we note that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty.  The Sellers management has informed us, however, and we have assumed, that such financial forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of the Business as to the future financial performance of the Business.  We express no opinion as to the Sellers’ financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are made.
 
Our opinion is based on economic, monetary, regulatory, market and other conditions existing and which can be evaluated as of the date hereof.  We expressly disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting our opinion of which we become aware after the date hereof.
 
We have made no independent investigation of any legal or accounting matters affecting the Sellers, and we have assumed the correctness in all respects material to our analysis of all legal and accounting advice given to the Sellers and its Board of Directors, including, without limitation, advice as to the legal, accounting and tax consequences of the terms of, and transactions contemplated by, the Purchase Agreement to the Sellers and its shareholders.  We have assumed that the Purchase contemplated by the Purchase Agreement will be consummated as described in the Purchase Agreement and that the final form of the Purchase Agreement will be substantially similar to the last draft reviewed by us.
 
It is understood that our opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of the Sellers in its consideration of the Purchase, and our opinion does not address the relative merits of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, nor does it address the underlying business decision by the Sellers to engage in the Purchase or the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the documents referred to therein.  Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of shares of Common Stock should vote on the Purchase or any matter related thereto.  In addition, you have not asked us to address, and this opinion does not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Sellers, other than the shareholders receiving the Purchase Price.
 
We will receive fees from the Sellers for the delivery of this opinion.  We also will be reimbursed by the Sellers for all of our out-of-pocket expenses incurred by us in connection with the delivery of this opinion.  The Sellers have agreed to indemnify us against liabilities related to, arising out of or in connection with the services rendered and to be rendered by us under such engagement.  In the ordinary course of our business, we and our affiliates may trade or hold securities of the Sellers and/or its affiliates for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in those securities.  In addition, we may seek to, in the future, provide financial advisory and financing services to the Sellers or entities that are affiliated with the Sellers, for which we would expect to receive compensation.
 
This letter is provided to the Board of Directors of the Sellers in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Purchase.  This opinion has been approved by our fairness opinion committee.  This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of the Sellers as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the Purchase or any other matter.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in our engagement letter with the Sellers, this opinion may not be disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever except with our prior written approval.
 

Appendix B

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Purchase Price to be received by the shareholders of the Sellers, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
/s/ Kaufman Bros., L.P.
