Dear Shareholder:
 
On behalf of the board of directors and the management of Comamtech Inc. (“Comamtech”), it is my pleasure to invite you to attend a special meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of Comamtech, scheduled to be held on February 18, 2011 at 10:00 am (EDT) at the offices of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, in boardroom number 5, at 800 Place Victoria, 37th Floor, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H4Z 1E9. Enclosed you will find the notice of meeting, management information circular and a form of proxy for the Meeting.
 
The purpose of the Meeting is to seek the approval of the Shareholders for an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to which Comamtech (through a wholly-owned subsidiary) will amalgamate with DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (“DecisionPoint”) and pursuant to which shareholders of DecisionPoint will hold approximately 68.4% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Comamtech, on a fully diluted in-the-money basis, following all payments due upon closing of the Arrangement. The Shareholders will also be asked to approve the continuance of Comamtech to the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Continuance”).
 
The accompanying management information circular contains a detailed description of the Arrangement, the Continuance as well as detailed information regarding Comamtech and DecisionPoint.
 
The Arrangement is an appropriate way for a solvent public company, such as Comamtech, to provide the Shareholders of Comamtech the opportunity to have an indirect interest in an operating company.
 
The Arrangement will take effect only if it is approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, and if a final order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) is granted, provided the other conditions to the completion of the Arrangement have been satisfied or waived.
 
ModelCom Inc. provided Comamtech’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) with fairness opinions to the effect that, based on its scope of review and subject to the restrictions, limitations and assumptions contained therein, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. After careful consideration, and relying in part on such fairness opinion, the Board of Directors has determined that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Comamtech. The Board of Directors has unanimously ratified the Arrangement (which was previously unanimously approved by the board of directors of Copernic Inc.) and unanimously recommends that the Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement.
 
In order to ensure an appropriate tax treatment for the shareholders of DecisionPoint, it is a condition for the completion of the Arrangement that the Continuance be approved by the Shareholders at the Meeting.
 
The Continuance will take effect only if it is approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and upon receipt of a notice satisfactory to the Director under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) submitted by Comamtech that the certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware is effective and upon the issuance by the Director of a certificate of discontinuance.

 
 

 

The Board of Directors has determined that the Continuance is in the best interest of Comamtech.  The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Continuance and unanimously recommends that the Shareholders vote FOR the Continuance.
 
Your vote is important regardless of how many common shares of Comamtech you own.  We hope that you will be able to attend the Meeting. If you are unable to attend the Meeting in person and are a registered Shareholder, in order to ensure that your vote is recorded, please return the enclosed form of proxy, properly completed and signed, no later than 5:00 p.m. (EDT) on the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, or to the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, prior to the beginning of the Meeting.
 
Non-registered Shareholders or Shareholders that hold their common shares of Comamtech in the name of a “nominee” or “intermediary”, such as a bank, trust company, securities broker or other financial institution, must seek instructions from their nominee or intermediary as to how to complete their form of proxy and vote their common shares. Non-registered Shareholders will have received the accompanying management information circular in a mailing from their nominee or intermediary, together with the form of proxy or a voting instruction form. It is important that non-registered Shareholders adhere to the voting instructions provided to them by their nominee or intermediary.
 
The voting rights attached to the common shares of Comamtech represented by a proxy in the form of proxy accompanying the circular will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon.  If no instructions are given, the voting rights attached to such common shares will be voted FOR the Arrangement and FOR the Continuance.
 
On behalf of Comamtech, I would like to thank you for your continuing support.
 
Yours very truly,

(s) Marc Ferland
President and Chief Executive Officer

This Circular does not constitute an offer to buy, or a solicitation of an offer to sell, any securities, or the solicitation of a proxy, by any person in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such an offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.
 
NOTICE TO SECURITYHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES
 
Comamtech is a corporation existing under the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada. The solicitation of proxies and the transactions contemplated herein involve securities of a Canadian issuer and are being effected in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws. Security holders should be aware that requirements under such Canadian laws may differ from requirements under United States corporate and securities laws relating to United States corporations. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Corporation or this solicitation and therefore this solicitation is not being effected in accordance with such rules. Enforcement by investors of civil remedies under the United States securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation exists under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, that their respective officers and directors are residents of countries other than the United States, and that all or a substantial portion of their respective assets are located outside the United States.
 
THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE ARRANGEMENT AND THIS CIRCULAR, NOR HAS THE SEC JUDGED THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE ARRANGEMENT OR THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

SUMMARY

The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Circular, including the Schedules hereto and the documents incorporated by reference herein. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial data and statements contained, referred to or incorporated elsewhere in this Circular, the Schedules hereto and the documents incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used in this summary but not otherwise defined are defined in the “Glossary of Terms”.

The Meeting

The Meeting will be held at the offices of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, in boardroom number 5, at 800 Place Victoria, 37th Floor, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H4Z 1E9, on February 18, 2011 at 10:00 am (EDT) for the purpose of, among other things, considering and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Arrangement Resolution and the Continuance Resolution.

Background to the Arrangement

In the spring of 2009, Copernic, the predecessor to Comamtech, began to consider opportunities outside its current business focus to partner with other entities thereby leveraging its expertise, balance sheet and NASDAQ listing. Potential acquisitions were examined and none were determined suitable.

During the first half of 2010, Copernic engaged the services of consultants to review its desktop search software business and determine its long term strategic direction. The board of directors of Copernic determined that substantial investments would be required in technology to maintain Copernic’s competitiveness with no certainty that these investments would result in a profitable enterprise, particularly when faced with two well capitalized competitors, namely Google and Microsoft, who embedded desktop search software in their offerings. In addition, substantial unrecorded tax losses carried forward would reach their maturity dates in the near term and the board of directors of Copernic determined that it was important to crystallize these values as soon as possible. It was therefore necessary to find a Canadian company in the software business which could benefit from these losses while leveraging the core search technology through its own product lines and sales channels. Following the signing of a confidentiality agreement between Harris and Copernic, discussions started in March 2010 with Harris with respect to a potential transaction which would accomplish these objectives.

On July 5, Copernic accepted a letter of intent of Harris, providing, among other things, for the terms and conditions of an arrangement. On August 25, 2010, Copernic, Harris and Comamtech entered into an arrangement agreement pursuant to which Copernic was to be ultimately acquired and taken private by Harris. The board of directors of Copernic also instructed management to seek out business partners to ensure that Comamtech, as a successor entity of Copernic, would continue to have an operating business thereby retaining its listing on NASDAQ.

On July 7, 2010, Comamtech hired the services of Spencer Clarke, an investment banker located in New York, New York, who presented various potential merger opportunities. DecisionPoint was short listed after an initial meeting on July 19, 2010, as representative of many attributes that management was looking for in a merger partner.

On October 20, 2010, Comamtech and MergerCo entered into the Arrangement Agreement with DecisionPoint.

On November 4, 2010, the Harris Transaction closed and Comamtech became a shell company with no operating assets.

 
- 1 -

 

On September 20, 2010, Copernic was advised that the NASDAQ Staff determined that upon the consummation of the Harris Transaction, Comamtech would become a “public shell.”  In accordance with NASDAQ listing rules, NASDAQ, following closing of the Harris Transaction, delivered a written notification on November 4, 2010, that the Comamtech Shares would be delisted, unless it appealed the determination by requesting a hearing. On November 10, 2010, Comamtech requested a hearing, which was held on December 16, 2010.

On December 21, 2010, NASDAQ informed Comamtech that it would be delisted from the NASDAQ and that trading in its shares would be suspended effective upon the open of business on Thursday, December 23, 2010. Comamtech Shares have since been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Comamtech continues to maintain its status as a reporting company with the SEC and will continue to update its shareholders on material events and financial information as required.

The NASDAQ Hearing Panel acknowledged that Comamtech appears to be making good faith and diligent efforts to move quickly toward a reverse merger acquisition with DecisionPoint. However, the NASDAQ Hearing Panel concluded that the prospective timeline and associated uncertainty regarding conditions required for the NASDAQ listing in connection with the DecisionPoint transaction are longer than a public shell should remain listed on the NASDAQ.  The NASDAQ Hearing Panel therefore declined to exercise discretionary authority to permit continued listing of Comamtech pending the closing of the Arrangement and determined that Comamtech will be delisted.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Comamtech will pursue a new listing on the NASDAQ. NASDAQ requires various minimum financial and qualitative conditions to be satisfied in order to qualify for listing on one of the NASDAQ trading platforms.  The respective management teams of Comamtech and DecisionPoint will endeavor to meet the minimum listing requirements as soon as reasonably possible, however, it is uncertain whether Comamtech will be able to satisfy the NASDAQ listing conditions during the foreseeable future.

Benefits of the Arrangement

As previously disclosed, Comamtech is a shell company and as such has no operating assets.  The Arrangement will permit Shareholders to hold, through Comamtech, a wholly-owned operating subsidiary, namely the Amalgamated Corporation.

In addition, Comamtech will utilize the Arrangement in order to pursue a new listing on the NASDAQ.  See “Stock Exchange Listing and Reporting Issuer Status” and “Principal Legal Matters”.

Furthermore, if the proposed Arrangement is not completed, then the Board of Directors may consider other alternatives, such as the liquidation of Comamtech (the costs and timing of which are uncertain). See “Risk Factors”.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

Based in part upon the Fairness Opinion, the Board of Directors has determined that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Comamtech. As such, the Board of Directors has unanimously ratified the Arrangement (which was previously unanimously approved by the board of directors of Copernic) and authorized the presentation of the Arrangement to the Shareholders for approval.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. See “Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement – Recommendation of the Board of Directors”.

Fairness Opinion

On August 25, 2010, the board of directors of Copernic engaged ModelCom to assess the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Arrangement to the Shareholders. In connection with this mandate, ModelCom provided the Board of Directors with the Fairness Opinion to the effect that, based on its scope of review and subject to the restrictions, limitations and assumptions contained therein, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. The Fairness Opinion is subject to the assumptions and limitations contained therein and should be read in its entirety. See “Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement – Fairness Opinion”.

By virtue of the Arrangement and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each DecisionPoint Option, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement shall be converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements) as applied to each such DecisionPoint Option, the number of whole Comamtech Shares that is equal to the number of shares of DecisionPoint Shares subject to such DecisionPoint Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price for each DecisionPoint Option adjusted by the Exchange Ratio;

 
(r)
By virtue of the Arrangement and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each DecisionPoint Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement shall be converted into a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as applied to each such DecisionPoint Warrant, the number of whole Comamtech Shares that is equal to the number of shares of DecisionPoint Shares subject to such DecisionPoint Warrant multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole share),at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price for each DecisionPoint Warrant adjusted by the Exchange Ratio;

 
- 4 -

 

 
(s)
No fractional Comamtech Shares and no fractional Comamtech Preferred Shares shall be issued to former holders of DecisionPoint Shares or to former holders of DecisionPoint Preferred Shares.  The number of Comamtech Shares or Comamtech Preferred Shares to be issued to former holders of DecisionPoint Shares or DecisionPoint Preferred Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Comamtech Share or nearest whole Comamtech Preferred Share, as applicable.  In calculating such fractional interests, all DecisionPoint Shares and all DecisionPoint Preferred Shares, as applicable, registered in the name of or beneficially held by holder or its nominee shall be aggregated; and

 
(t)
The exchange of DecisionPoint Shares for Comamtech Shares pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement shall be adjusted as a result of the collections on the debt owed by Empresario, Inc., a private company located in Chicago, Illinois (“Empresario”), to Comamtech represented by a debenture, dated August 10, 2010.  The debenture has a capital book value of US$2,600,000 (“Book Value”). On December 31, 2011 (the “Measurement Date”), the Board of Directors will calculate the principal collected from Empresario.  If Comamtech collects a net cash amount between US$2,200,000 and US$3,000,000, net of collection costs and administrative costs, there will be no adjustment to the shares distributed to the holders of Comamtech Shares or the holders of DecisionPoint Shares. If Comamtech collects a net cash amount greater than US$3,000,000 from the principal of the debenture from Empresario, net of collection costs and administrative costs, then the holders of Comamtech Shares immediately prior to the Effective Date shall receive a stock dividend equal to 1% of the outstanding Comamtech Shares as of Effective Date (up to a maximum of 6% of the outstanding Comamtech Shares as of the Effective Date) on a pro rata basis for each US$250,000 of principal received more than the Book Value, with no adjustments for pro rata amounts. If Comamtech collects a net cash amount less than US$2,200,000 from principal of the debenture from Empresario, net of collection costs and administrative costs, then the holders of DecisionPoint Shares immediately prior to the Effective Date shall receive a stock dividend equal to 1% of the outstanding Comamtech Shares as of the Effective Date (up to a maximum of 6% of the outstanding Comamtech Shares as of the Effective Date) on a pro rata basis for each US$250,000 of principal received less than the Book Value, with no adjustments for pro rata amounts.

The respective obligations of Comamtech and DecisionPoint to complete the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement are subject to a number of conditions which must be satisfied or waived in order for the Arrangement to become effective. See “Arrangement Agreement”.

Effect of the Arrangement

Upon completion of the Arrangement, the former DecisionPoint Shareholders will hold approximately 68.4% of the issued and outstanding Comamtech Shares, on a fully diluted in-the-money basis (taking into account all in-the-money Comamtech Options and Comamtech Preferred Shares to be issued to DecisionPoint Shareholders) and 100% of the issued and outstanding Comamtech Preferred Shares.  Comamtech shall have, as its principal asset, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Amalgamated Corporation which will continue to operate the business of DecisionPoint.

After the Effective Date and upon effectiveness of the continuance in Delaware, Comamtech will no longer be a “foreign private issuer” under U.S. Securities laws.  Comamtech will become subject to additional reporting requirements under U.S. securities laws.  In addition, any shareholders with greater than five percent equity ownership of Comamtech (as calculated post-amalgamation) will become subject to material shareholder reporting and disclosure obligations. See “The Continuance and Domestication” and “Comparison of Shareholder Rights”.

Expenses and Termination Fees

In the event of the termination of the Arrangement Agreement under certain circumstances, either Comamtech or DecisionPoint, as the case may be, may be entitled to receive from the other party an amount of US$500,000 as a non-completion fee to be paid in immediately available funds.

The expenses incurred by Comamtech for the purposes of the Arrangement, including professional and advisory fees, expenses related to the preparation and printing of this Circular and the holding of the Meeting, which are estimated to be CDN$750,000, will be assumed by Comamtech. See “Arrangement Agreement – Expenses and Termination Fees”.

Amendment No. 1 to the Arrangement Agreement

On December 23, 2010, Comamtech, DecisionPoint and MergerCo entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Arrangement Agreement. As a result of DecisionPoint’s transaction with CMAC, the Arrangement now results in DecisionPoint Shareholders receiving an additional 408,737 Comamtech Shares than originally planned, representing a less than 2% additional dilution to the Comamtech Shareholders, all on a fully diluted basis.

Based on information provided by DecisionPoint, the acquisition of CMAC by DecisionPoint represents between a 14 to 18 cent improvement on earnings per share (for the full year of 2011) on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the transaction with CMAC and after giving effect to the Arrangement.

Procedure for the Arrangement to Become Effective

Shareholders Approval

The Interim Order provides that the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each Shareholder being entitled to one vote for each Common Share held. See “Particulars of the Arrangement – Procedure for the Arrangement to Become Effective”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes Comamtech, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, to amend any of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, and decide not to proceed with the Arrangement, at any time prior to the Arrangement becoming effective without it being necessary to give additional notice to, or obtain the approval of, the Shareholders.

Court Approval

The OBCA provides that the Arrangement requires Court approval. On January 20, 2011, Comamtech obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters. See the Interim Order included in Schedule D annexed hereto.

Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the adoption of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting in the manner required by the Interim Order, Comamtech will make application to the Court for the Final Order at the Toronto Courthouse, on February 23, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. (EDT) or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard. See “Particulars of the Arrangement – Procedure for the Arrangement to Become Effective”.

Conditions Precedent

All conditions precedent to the Arrangement, as set out in the Arrangement Agreement, including the obtaining of the Required Vote and the receipt of the requisite Court and Regulatory Approvals prior to the Effective Date, must be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party in order for the Arrangement to be completed. See “Arrangement Agreement”.

Timing

If the Meeting is held as scheduled and is not adjourned and the other necessary conditions of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, Comamtech will apply to the Court for the Final Order approving the Arrangement on February 23, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). If the Final Order is obtained on February 23, 2011, in form and substance satisfactory to Comamtech and DecisionPoint, acting reasonably, and all other conditions for the Arrangement to become effective are satisfied or waived, Comamtech expects the Effective Date of the Arrangement to be on or around February 28, 2011. See “Particulars of the Arrangement – Timing”.

The Continuance and Domestication

Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to pass the Continuance Resolution authorizing Comamtech to apply, at any time from the date of the Meeting, to the Director under the OBCA for a letter of satisfaction for the continuance of Comamtech out of the laws of Ontario and, upon receipt of the letter of satisfaction, to file a certificate of corporate domestication and a certificate of incorporation substantially in the forms attached in Schedule B of this Circular, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.  See “The Continuance and Domestication”.

Effects of Change of Jurisdiction

Comamtech is currently governed by the provisions of the OBCA. Upon completion of the Continuance, the rights of Shareholders will be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”). Shareholders should consult their legal advisors regarding all of the implication of the transactions contemplated in the Continuance Resolution.

While the rights and privileges of shareholders of a Delaware corporation are, in many instances, comparable to those of shareholders of an OBCA corporation, there are certain differences. See “Comparison of Shareholder Rights”.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

It is a condition of the Arrangement Agreement that the Continuance Resolution be approved by the Shareholders by the Required Vote. The Board of Directors has determined that the Continuance is in the best interest of Comamtech following the completion of the Arrangement, and recommends that Comamtech be continued under the DGCL and that Shareholders vote FOR the Continuance Resolution. Shareholders are entitled to dissent from the Continuance Resolution. See “Right to Dissent” for a discussion of such rights.

Procedure for the Continuance to Become Effective

If the Continuance Resolution is approved, and upon receipt of a notice satisfactory to the Director under the OBCA submitted by Comamtech that the certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware is effective, the Director shall file this notice and issue a certificate of discontinuance.  Upon the issuance of the certificate of discontinuance, the OBCA would no longer apply to Comamtech.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

Shareholders of Comamtech should carefully read the information under the heading “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences”.

Certain United States Income Tax Consequences

Shareholders should be aware that the Arrangement may have tax consequences in the United States that are not described in this Circular.  Shareholders that are subject to United States federal, state and local income tax should consult an advisor on the consequences of such matters.  See “Certain United States Income Tax Consequences”.

Stock Exchange Listing and Reporting Issuer Status

The Comamtech Shares are currently traded on OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol COMT.

In accordance with NASDAQ listing rules, NASDAQ, following closing of the Harris Transaction, delivered a written notification on November 4, 2010, that Comamtech Shares would be delisted, unless it appealed the determination by requesting a hearing. On November 10, 2010, Comamtech requested a hearing, which was held on December 16, 2010.

On December 21, 2010, NASDAQ informed Comamtech that it would be delisted from the NASDAQ and that trading in its shares would be suspended effective upon the open of business on Thursday, December 23, 2010.

The NASDAQ Hearing Panel acknowledged that Comamtech appears to be making good faith and diligent efforts to move quickly toward a reverse merger acquisition with DecisionPoint. However, the NASDAQ Hearing Panel concluded that the prospective timeline and associated uncertainty regarding conditions required for the NASDAQ listing in connection with the DecisionPoint transaction are longer than a public shell should remain listed on the NASDAQ. The NASDAQ Hearing Panel therefore declined to exercise discretionary authority to permit continued listing of Comamtech pending the closing of the Arrangement and determined that Comamtech would be delisted.

Comamtech is a registered reporting issuer with the SEC as the successor to Copernic. Public reports filed by Comamtech are available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Comamtech will pursue a new listing on the NASDAQ. NASDAQ requires various minimum financial and qualitative conditions to be satisfied in order to qualify for listing on one of the NASDAQ trading platforms.  The respective management teams of Comamtech and DecisionPoint will endeavor to meet the minimum listing requirements as soon as reasonably possible, however, it is uncertain whether Comamtech will be able to satisfy the NASDAQ listing conditions during the foreseeable future. See also “Principal Legal Matters”.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

Shareholders should be aware that Mr. Marc Ferland, President and Chief Executive Officer, is entitled, pursuant to an employment agreement dated June 16, 2010, to a payment of CDN$150,000 to be paid by Comamtech upon the completion of the Arrangement, and (ii) Mr. David Goldman, a consultant with Comamtech, whose consulting agreement provides for a payment of CDN$300,000 payable in 89,937 Comamtech Shares to Mr. Goldman upon the closing of the completion of the Arrangement.

It is currently the intention of Comamtech to terminate Mr. Fournier’s employment shortly after the completion of the Arrangement.

On July 6, 2010, Copernic entered into an investment banking Engagement Letter with Spencer Clarke pursuant to which the Spencer Clarke was engaged by Copernic to act as Copernic’s agent and advisor for opportunities in connection with any proposed merger and acquisition transaction, on a non-exclusive basis.  The obligations arising from the Engagement Letter has been assumed by Comamtech.  According to the terms of the Engagement Letter, Spencer Clarke was paid a retainer in the amount of US$25,000 with an additional agent’s fee payable and equal to the higher of (i) US$250,000; or (ii) 3% of the aggregate value of the transaction, defined as the aggregate purchase price of the acquired entity, including assumed debt, forgiveness of debt, extraordinary dividends and any other consideration paid in connection with a transaction.  Comamtech and Spencer Clarke have agreed that the fee shall be payable through the issuance of 154,709 Comamtech Shares at Closing of the transaction.

See “Information Respecting Comamtech”.

DecisionPoint

DecisionPoint, formerly known as Canusa Capital Corp. (“Canusa”), was incorporated on December 27, 2006, under the laws of the State of Delaware. On June 17, 2009, Canusa entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with DecisionPoint Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canusa (“Merger Sub”), and DecisionPoint Systems Holding, Inc., a California corporation (“Holding”).  Holding merged with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canusa under the name DecisionPoint Systems Group, Inc. (“DecisionPoint Group”) (the “Merger”). Prior to the Merger, Canusa was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the 1934 Act.  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Canusa acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DecisionPoint Group from DecisionPoint Group’s shareholders in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of DecisionPoint’s common stock and assumed all of DecisionPoint Group’s obligations under DecisionPoint Group’s outstanding stock options and warrants.

DecisionPoint’s corporate headquarters are located at 19655 Descartes, Foothill Ranch, CA 92610-2609 and DecisionPoint’s telephone number is (949) 465-0065.

DecisionPoint’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “DNPI”.   On January 20, 2011, the last reported market price of DecisionPoint’s common stock was US$0.38 per share.

Recent Developments

Comamtech has been advised on January 18, 2011, that Sigma and DecisionPoint will be entering into a non-binding letter of intent whereby Sigma would inject DecisionPoint with between US$3,200,000 and US$4,000,000 in financing in exchange for 3,200 to 4,000 Preferred Shares at price of $1,000 per DecisionPoint Preferred Share. The DecisionPoint Preferred Shares under the term sheet are convertible into DecisionPoint Shares at a fixed price of US$3.20. Should this transaction between Sigma and DecisionPoint be consummated at a value of US$3,200,000 with a conversion price of US$3.20, it will result in an additional dilution to Shareholders of 3.8% on a fully diluted in-the-money basis. The Sigma transaction does not impact the Fairness Opinion. See “Information Respecting DecisionPoint – Recent Developments”.

On December 31, 2010, DecisionPoint completed a transaction with CMAC pursuant to which the shareholders of CMAC have agreed to sell to DecisionPoint all of the issued and outstanding shares in CMAC for a purchase price of US$3.15 million. The transaction, which closed on December 31, 2010, will increase DecisionPoint's revenues by approximately 20% and assets by 10% on a pro forma basis. See “Information Respecting DecisionPoint – Recent Developments”.

Right to Dissent

Pursuant to the OBCA, Shareholders have the right to dissent from the Continuance Resolution in the manner provided in section 185 of the OBCA. A Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled, if the Continuance becomes effective, to be paid by Comamtech the fair value of the Comamtech Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as at the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the Continuance Resolution is adopted. A Shareholder who wishes to dissent must provide a Dissent Notice to Comamtech at the Meeting or prior to the Meeting at 33 Bay Street, Suite 2400, Bay Adelaide Centre, Box 20, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2T6 (or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A form of proxy is enclosed and, if you cannot or it is not your intention to be present in person at the Meeting and you are a Registered Holder, please complete and return the proxy in the envelope provided. The proxy must be executed by the Registered Holder or the duly authorized attorney-in-fact of such Registered Holder, duly authorized in writing. Proxies to be used at the Meeting must be deposited with the Transfer Agent, at 200 University Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1, attention to: Corporate Actions, no later than 5:00 p.m. (EDT) on the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, or with the chairperson on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, prior to the beginning of the Meeting.

Appointment of Proxies

The persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy are directors or senior officers of Comamtech. Each Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend for him or her and act on his or her behalf at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof instead of the person specified in the enclosed form of proxy. Such right may be exercised by striking out the names of the specified persons and inserting the name of the Shareholder’s nominee in the space provided or by completing another appropriate form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the proxy as prescribed. The Comamtech Shares represented by the proxy will be voted for or against the Arrangement Resolution and for or against the Continuance Resolution in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for. If the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Comamtech Shares will be voted accordingly. If no instructions are given, the Comamtech Shares will be voted FOR the Arrangement Resolution and FOR the Continuance Resolution.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Only Registered Holders, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders are “non-registered” holders because the Comamtech Shares they own are not registered in their names, but instead are registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased their Comamtech Shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Holder in respect of Comamtech Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Shareholder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Comamtech Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, Comamtech has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and the form of proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

 
(a)
be given (typically a facsimile, stamped signature) a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary, which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder but which is otherwise not completed. Since the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it to Comamtech as provided above; or

 
- 12 -

 

 
(b)
more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its designated service company, will constitute voting instructions, (often called a “proxy authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regularly printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Comamtech Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the names of the designated proxy holders and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

Revocation of a Proxy

A Shareholder executing the enclosed proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. A Shareholder may revoke a proxy by depositing an instrument in writing to that effect with the Transfer Agent at 200 University Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1, attention to: Corporate Actions, at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, or with the Chair of the Meeting prior to its exercise on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Only Registered Holders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must, sufficiently in advance of the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf. Non-Registered Shareholders should seek and carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary as to how they may revoke their proxy.

MANNER OF VOTING AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

Unless otherwise specified, proxies in the accompanying form will be voted FOR the Arrangement Resolution and FOR the Continuance Resolution.

The form of proxy confers discretionary authority to the chosen proxy holder with respect to any amendment to or variation of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and other matters, which may arise at the Meeting. At the time of printing this Circular, Comamtech knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if other matters, which are not known to Comamtech, should properly come before the Meeting, the accompanying proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxy.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

Common Shares

As at the Record Date, there were 2,097,861 Comamtech Shares issued and outstanding. Each Comamtech Share entitles the holder thereof to cast one vote at the Meeting.

Restricted Shares

Except for Comamtech Shares and/or Comamtech Options held by (i) the current directors and officers of Comamtech; and (ii) the former directors of Copernic, there are no outstanding restricted securities of Comamtech nor securities of Comamtech that are either indirectly or directly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for restricted securities of Comamtech.

Record Date

The Comamtech has fixed January 17, 2011 as the record date for the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting. All Shareholders of record on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Meeting except to the extent that any such Shareholder has, since the Record Date, transferred any of her or his Comamtech Shares. In such case, a transferee of those Comamtech Shares may produce properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establish that she or he owns the Comamtech Shares and provided that she or he has demanded no later than ten (10) days before the Meeting that Comamtech recognize the transferee as the person entitled to vote the transferred Comamtech Shares, such transferee will be entitled to vote his or her Comamtech Shares at the Meeting.

Beneficial Ownership

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of Comamtech, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, voting securities carrying ten percent (10%) or more of the voting rights attaching to any class of voting securities of Comamtech, other than Aurora Elsa Arnaiz who holds 356,083 Comamtech Shares, representing approximately 17% of the total issued and outstanding Comamtech Shares and RMG/1754/GPD which holds 217,233 Comamtech Shares, representing approximately 10.4% of the total issued and outstanding Comamtech Shares, as of September 27, 2010.

BACKGROUND TO AND REASONS FOR THE ARRANGEMENT

Background to the Arrangement

In the spring of 2009, Copernic the predecessor to Comamtech began to consider opportunities outside its current business focus to partner with other entities thereby leveraging its expertise, balance sheet and NASDAQ listing. Potential acquisitions were examined and none were determined suitable.

During the first half of 2010, Copernic engaged the services of consultants to review its desktop search software business and determine its long term strategic direction. The board of directors of Copernic determined that substantial investments would be required in technology to maintain Copernic’s competitiveness with no certainty that these investments would result in a profitable enterprise, particularly when faced with two well capitalized competitors, namely Google and Microsoft, who embedded desktop search software in their offerings. In addition, substantial unrecorded tax losses carried forward would reach their maturity dates in the near term and the board of directors of Copernic determined that it was important to crystallize these values as soon as possible. It was therefore necessary to find a Canadian company in the software business which could benefit from these losses while leveraging the core search technology through its own product lines and sales channels. Following the signing of a confidentiality agreement between Harris and Copernic, discussions started in March 2010 with Harris with respect to a potential transaction which would accomplish these objectives.

 
- 14 -

 

On July 5, Copernic accepted a letter of intent of Harris, providing, among other things, for the terms and conditions of an arrangement. On August 25, 2010, Copernic, Harris and Comamtech entered into an arrangement agreement pursuant to which Copernic was to ultimately acquired and taken private by Harris. The board of directors of Copernic also instructed management to seek out business partners to ensure that Comamtech, as a successor entity of Copernic would continue to have an operating business thereby retaining its listing on NASDAQ.

On July 6, 2010, Copernic hired the services of Spencer Clarke, an investment banker located in New York, New York, who presented various potential merger opportunities. The obligations arising from the Engagement Letter have been assumed by Comamtech. According to the terms of the Engagement Letter, Spencer Clarke was paid a retainer in the amount of US$25,000 with an additional agent’s fee payable and equal to the higher of (i) US$250,000; or (ii) 3% of the aggregate value of the transaction, defined as the aggregate purchase price of the acquired entity, including assumed debt, forgiveness of debt, extraordinary dividends and any other consideration paid in connection with a transaction.  Comamtech and Spencer Clarke have agreed that the fee shall be payable through the issuance of 154,709 Comamtech Shares at Closing of the transaction.

DecisionPoint was short listed after an initial meeting on July 19, 2010, as representative of many attributes that management was looking for in a merger partner.

On August 25, 2010, the board of directors of Copernic engaged ModelCom to assess the fairness to the Shareholders, from a financial point of view, of the Arrangement. In connection with its mandate, ModelCom provided a fairness opinion to the Board of Directors on October 6, 2010 which states that, based on its scope of review and subject to the restrictions, limitation and assumptions contained therein, as of the date of the fairness opinion, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. On January 13, 2011, this original fairness opinion was superseded by the Fairness Opinion, in order to: (i) confirm the opinion delivered on October 6, 2010; and (ii) to take into account the issuance of 408,737 additional shares resulting from DecisionPoint’s acquisition of CMAC and a proposed investment by Sigma in DecisionPoint. The Fairness Opinion is subject to the assumptions and limitations contained therein and should be read in its entirety. See “Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement – Fairness Opinion” and a copy of the Fairness Opinion annexed hereto as Schedule F.

On October 20, 2010, Comamtech and MergerCo entered into the Arrangement Agreement with DecisionPoint.

On November 4, 2010, the Harris Transaction closed and Comamtech became a shell company with no operating assets.

On September 20, 2010, Copernic was advised that the NASDAQ Staff determined that upon the consummation of the Harris Transaction, Comamtech would become a “public shell.”  In accordance with NASDAQ listing rules, NASDAQ, following closing of the Harris Transaction, delivered a written notification on November 4, 2010, that the Comamtech Shares would be delisted, unless it appealed the determination by requesting a hearing. On November 10, 2010, Comamtech requested a hearing, which was held on December 16, 2010.

On December 21, 2010, NASDAQ informed Comamtech that it would be delisted from the NASDAQ and that trading in its shares would be suspended effective upon the open of business on Thursday, December 23, 2010. Comamtech Shares have since been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Comamtech continues to maintain its status as a reporting company with the SEC and will continue to update its shareholders on material events and financial information as required.

The NASDAQ Hearing Panel acknowledged that Comamtech appears to be making good faith and diligent efforts to move quickly toward a reverse merger acquisition with DecisionPoint. However, the NASDAQ Hearing Panel concluded that the prospective timeline and associated uncertainty regarding conditions required for the NASDAQ listing in connection with the DecisionPoint transaction are longer than a public shell should remain listed on the NASDAQ.  The NASDAQ Hearing Panel therefore declined to exercise discretionary authority to permit continued listing of Comamtech pending the closing of the Arrangement and determined that Comamtech would be delisted.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Comamtech will pursue a new listing on the NASDAQ. NASDAQ requires various minimum financial and qualitative conditions to be satisfied in order to qualify for listing on one of the NASDAQ trading platforms.  The respective management teams of Comamtech and DecisionPoint will endeavor to meet the minimum listing requirements as soon as reasonably possible, however, it is uncertain whether Comamtech will be able to satisfy the NASDAQ listing conditions during the foreseeable future.

Benefits of the Arrangement

As previously disclosed, Comamtech is a shell company and as such has no operating assets.  The Arrangement will provide the Shareholders with an indirect interest in an operating entity.

In addition, Comamtech will utilize the Arrangement in order to pursue a new listing on the NASDAQ.  See “Stock Exchange Listing and Reporting Issuer Status” and “Principal Legal Matters”.

Furthermore, if the proposed Arrangement is not completed, then the Board of Directors may consider other alternatives, such as the liquidation of Comamtech (the costs and timing of which are uncertain). See “Risk Factors”.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has determined unanimously that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders and is in the best interests of Comamtech. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Arrangement and authorized the presentation of the Arrangement to the Shareholders for approval and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

In arriving at its conclusions with respect to these matters, the Board of Directors considered, among other things, the following factors:

 
(a)
the Fairness Opinion to the effect that, the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders;

 
(b)
following the Arrangement, Comamtech will have an operating business that will form the basis of a new listing application to the NASDAQ for trading of the Comamtech Shares;

 
(c)
the Arrangement will not be completed unless the Arrangement Resolution receives a favourable vote of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each Shareholder being entitled to one vote for each Common Share held;

 
(d)
the Arrangement will become effective only if, after hearing from all interested parties who choose to appear before it, the Court determines that the Arrangement is fair and reasonable;

 
- 16 -

 

 
(e)
the purpose and benefits of the Arrangement as outlined herein; and

 
(f)
the Arrangement does not generally result in negative Canadian federal income tax consequences for Shareholders.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

Fairness Opinion

ModelCom was initially retained on August 25, 2010 by the board of directors of Copernic, the predecessor of Comamtech, to provide an opinion in respect of the fairness to the Shareholders, from a financial point of view, of the Arrangement. In consideration for its services in these respects, Comamtech agreed to pay ModelCom certain fees, reimburse ModelCom for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses and indemnify ModelCom in respect of certain liabilities. ModelCom has advised the Board of Directors that neither ModelCom nor any of its affiliates or associates is an insider, associate or affiliate of Comamtech, DecisionPoint or any of their respective associates or affiliates. There are no understandings, agreements or commitments between ModelCom, Comamtech and DecisionPoint or any of their respective associates or affiliates with respect to any future business dealings. The compensation of ModelCom in connection with the provision of the Fairness Opinion is not contingent in any way on the conclusions reached in the Fairness Opinion or the successful consummation of the Arrangement.

In its Fairness Opinion, ModelCom is of the opinion, based on its scope of review and subject to the restrictions, limitations and assumptions contained therein, that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

A copy of the Fairness Opinion is annexed hereto as Schedule F. The Fairness Opinion is subject to the restrictions, assumptions and limitations contained therein. Shareholders are urged to read the Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

(b)
all conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement must be satisfied or waived by the appropriate parties;

Shareholders Approval

Pursuant to the Interim Order, the Arrangement Resolution and the Continuance Resolution must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each Shareholder being entitled to one vote for each Comamtech Share held.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes Comamtech, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, without further notice to or obtaining the approval of the Shareholders, to amend or terminate any of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement and decide not to proceed with the Arrangement, at any time prior to the Arrangement becoming effective pursuant to the provisions of the OBCA. See the Arrangement Resolution and the Plan of Arrangement annexed hereto as Schedules A and C, respectively.

Court Approval

On January 20, 2011, Comamtech obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters. See the Interim Order and the Notice of Application annexed hereto as Schedule D and Schedule E, respectively.

The OBCA provides that the Arrangement requires Court approval. Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, and if the Arrangement Resolution is approved by the Shareholders at the Meeting in the manner required by the Interim Order, Comamtech will make application to the Court for the Final Order at the Toronto Courthouse, 330 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, on February 23, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. (EDT) or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard. Any Shareholder or other interested party desiring to support or oppose the motion with respect to the Arrangement may appear at the hearing in person or by counsel for that purpose, subject to filing with the Court and serving upon Comamtech, on or before February 18, 2011, an appearance and complying with certain other procedural requirements. If such appearance is with the view to contest the motion for the Final Order or make representations in relation thereto, the Shareholder or other interested party must serve on Comamtech and file in the Court record, on or before February 18, 2011, written representations supported as to the facts by affidavit(s) and exhibit(s), if any, failing which the appearing person shall not be permitted to contest the motion for Final Order or make representations in relation thereto. Service of such notice on Comamtech is required to be effected by service upon the attorneys for Comamtech, with a copy to counsel for DecisionPoint, at the following addresses:

The Court has broad discretion under the OBCA when making orders with respect to the Arrangement, and the Court, in hearing the application for the Final Order, will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to the Shareholders and any other interested party that the Court determines appropriate. The Court may approve the Arrangement, either as proposed or as amended, in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of such approval, if any, as the Court may determine appropriate. Depending on the nature of any required amendments, Comamtech or DecisionPoint may determine not to proceed with the Arrangement in the event that any amendment ordered by the Court is not satisfactory to either Comamtech or DecisionPoint, acting reasonably.

The issuance of the Comamtech Shares and the Comamtech Convertible Preferred Shares will not be registered under the 1933 Act and are being issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act. The Court will be advised before the hearing of the application for the Final Order that if the terms and conditions of the Arrangement are approved by the Court, (i) Comamtech will rely on such Section 3(a)(10) exemption based on the Court’s approval of the Arrangement, and (ii) that the Comamtech Shares and the Comamtech Convertible Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement will not require registration under the 1933 Act.

If (i) the Arrangement is approved by the Shareholders by the Required Vote, (ii) the Final Order is obtained from the Court and (iii) all of the conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, Comamtech intends to cause a copy of the Articles of Arrangement to be filed with the Director, together with such other materials as may be required by the Director.

Timing

If the Meeting is held as scheduled and not adjourned, the Arrangement Resolution on the Continuance Resolution are passed and the other applicable conditions are satisfied or waived by the appropriate parties, Comamtech will apply to the Court for the Final Order approving the Arrangement on February 23, 2011. If the Final Order is obtained on February 23, 2011 in form and substance satisfactory to Comamtech and DecisionPoint, acting reasonably, and all other conditions to the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, Comamtech expects that the Effective Date will occur on or about February 28, 2011. It is not possible, however, to specify when the Effective Date will occur. Comamtech or DecisionPoint may terminate the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances, in which case the Arrangement will not be completed. See “Arrangement Agreement”.

 
- 21 -

 

The Arrangement will become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Arrangement with the Director and issuance of the Certificate of Arrangement by the Director.

The Effective Date could be delayed, however, for a number of reasons, including an objection before the Court at the hearing in respect of the Final Order. Upon the Arrangement becoming effective, Comamtech will issue a press release confirming the same.

Effect of the Arrangement

Upon completion of the Arrangement, (i) Comamtech will be the holder of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Amalgamated Corporation, (ii) former DecisionPoint Shareholders will have exchanged, through a sequence of steps, each DecisionPoint Shares they hold for 0.125 Comamtech Shares and each DecisionPoint Preferred Shares for 0.125 Comamtech Preferred Shares, and consequently, (iii) former DecisionPoint Shareholders will hold approximately 68.4% of the issued and outstanding Comamtech Shares on a fully diluted in-the-money basis (taking into account all in-the-money Comamtech Options and Comamtech Preferred Shares to be issued to DecisionPoint Shareholders)1 and 100% of the issued and outstanding Comamtech Preferred Shares.

The issuance of the Comamtech Shares and other securities of Comamtech pursuant to the Arrangement will not be registered under the 1933 Act and are being issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided therein. See “Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement”.

After the Effective Date and upon effectiveness of the continuance in Delaware, Comamtech will no longer be a “foreign private issuer” under U.S. Securities laws.  Comamtech will become subject to additional reporting requirements under U.S. securities laws.  In addition, any shareholders with greater than five percent equity ownership of Comamtech (as calculated post-amalgamation) will become subject to material shareholder reporting and disclosure obligations. See “The Continuance and Domestication” and “Comparison of Shareholder Rights”.

Treatment of DecisionPoint Options

By virtue of the Arrangement and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each DecisionPoint Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement shall be converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements) as applied to each such DecisionPoint Option, the number of whole Comamtech Shares that is equal to the number of shares of DecisionPoint Shares subject to such DecisionPoint Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price for each DecisionPoint Option adjusted by the Exchange Ratio.

Former DecisionPoint Shareholders will hold approximately 70.6% of the issued and outstanding Comamtech Shares on a fully diluted basis including all in-the-money Comamtech Options and Comamtech Preferred Shares, and all out-of-the-money Comamtech Options, Comamtech Warrants and Comamtech Preferred Shares to be issued to DecisionPoint Shareholders.

Treatment of Outstanding DecisionPoint Warrants

By virtue of the Arrangement and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each DecisionPoint Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement shall be converted into a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as applied to each such DecisionPoint Warrant, the number of whole Comamtech Shares that is equal to the number of shares of DecisionPoint Shares subject to such DecisionPoint Warrant multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole share),at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price for each DecisionPoint Warrant adjusted by the Exchange Ratio.

Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation and Right to Match

Pursuant to section 7.1 of the Arrangement Agreement, the parties agreed to certain mutual non-solicitation covenants and granted a right to match to the parties as follows:

 
(a)
The parties shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions and negotiations (including through any advisors or other parties on its behalf), with any parties conducted before the date of the Arrangement Agreement with respect to any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. Each party shall not modify, or release any third party from, any existing confidentiality agreement (including, for greater certainty, any existing standstill provisions). Each party shall discontinue access to any of its confidential information (and not establish or allow access to any of its confidential information, or any data room, virtual or otherwise) and shall as soon as possible request and exercise all rights it has to require (i) the return or destruction of all confidential information provided to any third parties who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with each party relating to an Acquisition Proposal and (ii) the destruction of all material including or incorporating or otherwise reflecting any confidential information regarding the parties provided to such third parties, and shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that such requests are honoured. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in section 7.1.1 of the Arrangement Agreement by the parties or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents shall be deemed to be a breach of section 7.1.1 by DecisionPoint or Comamtech, as the case may be.

(ii)
enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal, or furnish to any other person any information with respect to its businesses, properties, operations, prospects or conditions (financial or otherwise) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt of any other person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing;

provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Arrangement Agreement, DecisionPoint or Comamtech and their respective officers, directors, employees and advisors or other representatives may prior to the Meeting:

 
(v)
enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with a third party who (without any solicitation, initiation or encouragement, directly or indirectly, after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, by either party or any of its officers, directors or employees or any financial advisor, expert, agent or other representative retained by it) seeks to initiate such discussions or negotiations with either party that does not result from a breach of section 7.1 of the Arrangement Agreement and, subject to execution of a confidentiality and standstill agreement substantially similar to the confidentiality agreement dated July 19, 2010  entered into between the parties (provided that such confidentiality agreement shall provide for disclosure thereof (along with all information provided thereunder) to either party as set out below), may furnish to such third party information concerning either party and their respective business, properties and assets, in each case if, and only to the extent that:

 
(A)
the third party has first made a written bona fide Acquisition Proposal which is a Superior Proposal; and

 
(B)
prior to furnishing such information to or entering into or participating in any such discussions or negotiations with such third party, either party provides prompt notice to the other party to the effect that it is furnishing information to or entering into or participating in discussions or negotiations with such person together with a copy of the confidentiality agreement referenced above and, if not previously provided to the other party, copies of all information provided to such third party concurrently with the provision of such information to such third party; and

 
(vi)
accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal from a third party, but only if prior to such acceptance, recommendation, approval or implementation, the relevant board shall have concluded in good faith, after considering all proposals to adjust the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement as contemplated by section 7.1.4 of the Arrangement Agreement and after receiving the written advice of outside counsel, that the taking of such action is necessary for such board of either party in the discharge of its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws and each party complies with its obligations set forth in section 7.1.4 of the Arrangement Agreement and terminates the Arrangement Agreement in accordance therewith and concurrently therewith pays a termination fee of US$500,000 to the other party.

 
(c)
Each party shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of receipt thereof) notify the other (at first orally and then in writing) of any Acquisition Proposal or of any inquiries, offers, proposals or requests with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (or, in each case, any amendment thereto) or any request for non-public information relating to any member of the Consolidated Group or their respective assets, or any amendments to the foregoing. Such notice shall include a copy of any written Acquisition Proposal (and any amendment thereto) which has been received or, if no written Acquisition Proposal has been received, a description of the material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person making any inquiry, proposal, offer or request. Either party shall also provide such further and other details of the Acquisition Proposal or of the inquiry, offer, proposal or request in respect of an Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment thereto, as such party may reasonably request. Each party shall keep the other promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to material terms, of any Acquisition Proposal or of any inquiries, offers, proposals or requests with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment thereto, shall respond promptly to all inquiries by the other party with respect thereto, and shall provide the other party copies of all material correspondence and other written material sent to or provided to either party by any person in connection with such inquiry, proposal, offer or request or sent or provided by either party to any person in connection with such inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and all other information reasonably requested by either party in respect thereto.

(d)
Each party shall give the other, orally and in writing, at least two Business Days advance notice of any decision by such board to accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal, shall set out such board’s reasonable determination of the financial value of the consideration offered by such third party to the respective shareholders under such Superior Proposal, which notice shall confirm that such board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, shall identify the third party making the Superior Proposal and provide a copy thereof and any amendments thereto to the other. During the two Business Day period commencing on the delivery of such notice, each party agrees not to accept, recommend, approve or enter into any agreement to implement such Superior Proposal and not to release the party making the Superior Proposal from any standstill provisions and shall not withdraw, redefine, modify or change its recommendation in respect of the Arrangement. In addition, during such two Business Day period, each party shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate in good faith with the other party and its financial and legal advisors to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the other party to proceed with the Arrangement as amended rather than the Superior Proposal. In the event either party (as the case may be) proposes to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement such that the Superior Proposal ceases to be a Superior Proposal and so advises such board prior to the expiry of such two Business Day period, such board shall not accept, recommend, approve or enter into any agreement to implement such Superior Proposal, shall not release the party making the Superior Proposal from any standstill provisions and shall not withdraw, redefine, modify or change its recommendation in respect of the Arrangement.

Representations and Warranties

The Arrangement Agreement contains various representations and warranties of and with respect to each of DecisionPoint, Comamtech and MergerCo.

Section 8.2 of the Arrangement Agreement provides that the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time:

 
(a)
by mutual written consent of the parties;

 
(b)
if any of the conditions precedent set forth in the Arrangement Agreement are not complied with or waived by the party for whose benefit such conditions are provided, on or before the date required for their performance; provided that the terminating party is not in material default of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements under the Arrangement Agreement;

 
- 29 -

 

 
(c)
by DecisionPoint upon the occurrence of a Comamtech Damages Event or by Comamtech upon the occurrence of a DecisionPoint Damage Events;

 
(d)
by Comamtech upon the occurrence of a DecisionPoint Damages Event provided in Section 7.3.1(d) of the Arrangement Agreement (in accordance with Section 7.1.2(j) thereof) and provided Comamtech has complied with its obligations set forth in Section 7.1.4 thereof and the payment by Comamtech to DecisionPoint of the Termination Fee;

 
(e)
by either party if the Effective Date does not occur on or prior to the Outside Date, except that such right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Date to occur on or prior to the Outside Date; and

 
(f)
by Comamtech in the event that the supplemental fairness opinion is not satisfactory to the Board.

If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in the above circumstances, it will forthwith become void and neither party will have any liability or further obligation to the other party thereunder, except as provided in the Arrangement Agreement.

Expenses and Termination Fees

In the event of the termination of the Arrangement Agreement upon the occurrence of a DecisionPoint Damages Event, Comamtech shall pay to DecisionPoint a termination fee of US$500,000 within two Business Days after the first to occur of the DecisionPoint Damages Events.

In the event of the termination of the Arrangement Agreement upon the occurrence of a Comamtech Damages Event, DecisionPoint shall pay to Comamtech a reverse termination fee of US$500,000 within two Business Days after the first to occur of the Comamtech Damages Events.

Amendment No. 1 to the Arrangement Agreement

On December 23, 2010, Comamtech, DecisionPoint and MergerCo entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Arrangement Agreement. As a result of DecisionPoint’s transaction with CMAC, the Arrangement now results in DecisionPoint Shareholders receiving an additional 408,737 Comamtech Shares than originally planned, representing a less than 2% additional dilution to the Comamtech Shareholders, all on a fully diluted basis.

Based on information provided by DecisionPoint, the acquisition of CMAC by DecisionPoint represents between a 14 to 18 cent improvement on earnings per share (for the full year of 2011) on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the transaction with CMAC and after giving effect to the Arrangement.

THE CONTINUANCE AND DOMESTICATION

Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to pass a special resolution authorizing Comamtech to apply, at any time from the date of the Meeting, to the Director under the OBCA for a letter of satisfaction for the continuance of Comamtech out of the laws of Ontario and, upon receipt of the letter of satisfaction, to file a certificate of corporate domestication and a certificate of incorporation substantially in the forms attached to the Circular in Schedule B, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

In addition, Comamtech as sole shareholder of the Amalgamated Corporation, acting through its board of directors, shall adopt a resolution authorizing the continuance of the Amalgamated Corporation out of the laws of Ontario and to be continued under the DGCL.

 
- 30 -

 

In connection with, and conditional upon, the Continuance, Comamtech also proposes to adopt the certificate of incorporation and the continuance by-laws, in each case substantially in the form attached to the Circular in Schedule B.  The certificate of incorporation and the continuance by-laws are intended to reflect the requirements of Delaware law.

To be effective, the Continuance Resolution, the text of which is attached to the Circular in Schedule B, must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, each Shareholder being entitled to one vote for each Comamtech Share held.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

It is a condition of the Arrangement Agreement that the Continuance Resolution be approved by the Shareholders by the Required Vote. The Board of Directors has determined that the Continuance is in the best interest of Comamtech following the completion of the Arrangement, and recommends that Comamtech be continued under the DGCL. The Board of Directors recommends that Shareholders vote for the Continuance Resolution.

Effects of Change of Jurisdiction

Comamtech is currently governed by the provisions of the OBCA.  If the Continuance Resolution is approved, and upon receipt of a notice satisfactory to the Director under the OBCA submitted by Comamtech that the certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware is effective, the Director shall file this notice and issue a certificate of discontinuance.  Upon the issuance of the certificate of discontinuance, the OBCA would no longer apply to Comamtech.

Upon completion of the Continuance, the rights of Shareholders will be governed by DGCL.  Shareholders should consult their legal advisors regarding all of the implication of the transactions contemplated in the Continuance Resolution.

While the rights and privileges of shareholders of a Delaware corporation are, in many instances, comparable to those of shareholders of a OBCA corporation, there are certain differences as noted below.  This summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the OBCA and the governing corporate instruments of Comamtech.  See “Comparison of Shareholder Rights”.

Notwithstanding the approval of the Continuance Resolution by Shareholders, the Board may determine, without further notice to the Shareholders and in its sole discretion, not to proceed with the Continuance at any time prior to the Continuance and Domestication being completed.

Shareholders are entitled to dissent from the Continuance Resolution.  See “Right to Dissent” for a discussion of such rights.

Procedure for the Continuance to Become Effective

If the Continuance Resolution is approved, and upon receipt of a notice satisfactory to the Director under the OBCA submitted by Comamtech that the certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware is effective, the Director shall file this notice and issue a certificate of discontinuance.  Upon the issuance of the certificate of discontinuance, the OBCA would no longer apply to Comamtech.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

For purposes of the following discussion of comparative rights as between shareholders of Ontario corporations and Delaware corporations, Comamtech as incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, is referred to in this section only as “Comamtech Ontario” and subject to approval of the Arrangement and continued under the laws of the State of Delaware in the United States, it is referred to in this section only as “Comamtech Delaware”.

Currently the rights of the stockholders of Comamtech Ontario are governed by the OBCA and by Comamtech Ontario’s articles of association, as amended and its by-laws.  Following the continuance, the rights of the stockholders of Comamtech Delaware will be governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, and by Comamtech Delaware’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, and its by-laws.

Although the rights and privileges of stockholders of a Delaware corporation and the rights and privileges of stockholders of an Ontario corporation are, in many instances, comparable, there are significant differences.  The following is a summary of the material differences among the rights of holders of Comamtech Ontario common shares and the holders of Comamtech Delaware’s common stock.  These differences arise principally from differences among the DGCL and the OBCA, and among Comamtech Ontario’s articles and by-laws and Comamtech Delaware’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws.

While Comamtech Ontario believes that this summary describes the material differences among the rights of holders of Comamtech Delaware common stock following the continuance and the rights of holders of Comamtech Ontario common shares following the amalgamation, it does not contain all of information, some of which may be important to you. We urge you to read the instruments governing the provisions of the DGCL and the OBCA, which are relevant to a full understanding of the governing instruments, fully and in their entirety.

Authorized Capital Stock

Comamtech Delaware – Comamtech Delaware's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of Comamtech Delaware common stock, US$0.001 par value per share, of and up to 10,000,000 shares of Comamtech Delaware preferred stock, US$0.001 par value per share, including 250,000 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares.

Comamtech Ontario – Comamtech Ontario's articles authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of Comamtech Ontario common shares.

Number and Election of Directors

Comamtech Delaware – Under Comamtech Delaware's by-laws, the election of directors is determined by a plurality vote, as the nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast by Comamtech Delaware stockholders will be elected to Comamtech Delaware's board of directors. Comamtech Delaware's by-laws also provide that the number of directors must not be less than one or more may be established by the incorporator or board of directors by resolution. No reduction in the number of directors, however, may affect the terms of directors then in office. Directors are elected by the stockholders at the annual stockholders' meeting. Each director is elected for a term of one year and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

Comamtech Ontario – Under the OBCA, the shareholders of a corporation elect directors by ordinary resolution at each annual meeting of shareholders at which such an election is required. Pursuant to amendments to Comamtech Ontario's articles on November 1, 2010, Comamtech Ontario’s articles provide that the number of directors must not be less than three nor more than eleven. Generally, under the OBCA, a director not elected for an expressly stated term ceases to hold office at the close of the first annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election. However, if directors are not elected at a meeting of shareholders, the incumbent directors continue in office until their successors are elected.

Quorum of the Board of Directors; Action by the Board of Directors

The quorum requirements with respect to the board of directors are the same for Comamtech Delaware and Comamtech Ontario. Both under the DGCL and Comamtech Delaware's by-laws and under Comamtech Ontario’s by-laws, the presence of a majority of the directors then in office constitutes a quorum, and the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present constitutes the act of the board.

Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors

Comamtech Delaware – Under Comamtech Delaware's by-laws, vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office, even if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum.

Comamtech Ontario – Under the OBCA, vacancies that exist on the board of directors may generally be filled by the board if the remaining directors constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the remaining directors shall call a special meeting of shareholders to fill the vacancy.

Transactions with Directors and Officers

Comamtech Delaware – The DGCL and Comamtech Delaware’s by-laws provide that no transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between a corporation and any other corporation or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers, are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the transaction, or solely because any such director's or officer's votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to the director's or officer's interest and as to the transaction are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (ii) the material facts as to the director's or officer's interest and as to the transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the board of directors, a committee or the stockholders.

Comamtech Ontario – The OBCA requires that a director or officer of a corporation who is (i) a party to a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the corporation, or (ii) a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract to or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the corporation shall disclose in writing to the corporation or request to have entered in the minutes of meetings of directors the nature and extent of his or her interest. An interested director is prohibited from attending any part of a meeting of directors during which a contract or a transaction is discussed and is prohibited from voting on a resolution to approve the contract or transaction except in specific circumstances, such as a contract or transaction relating primarily to his or her remuneration, a contract or transaction for indemnification or liability insurance of the director, or a contract or transaction with an affiliate of the corporation. If a director or officer has disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the corporation at the time it was approved, the director or officer is not accountable to the corporation or its shareholders for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction is neither void nor voidable by reason only of the interest of the director or officer or that the director is present at or is counted to determine the presence of a quorum at the meeting of directors that authorized the contract or transaction. The OBCA further provides that even if a director or officer does not disclose his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA, or (in the case of a director) votes in respect of a resolution on a contract or transaction in which he or she is interested contrary to the OBCA, if the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the corporation at the time it was approved, the director or officer is not accountable to the corporation or to its shareholders for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction by reason only of his or her holding the office of the director or officer and the contract or transaction is not by reason only of the director's or officer's interest therein void or voidable, if the contract or transaction has been confirmed or approved by the shareholders by special resolution, on the basis of disclosure in reasonable detail of the nature and extent of the director's or officer's interest in the notice of meeting or management information circular.

Comamtech Delaware – Under the DGCL a stockholder may bring a derivative action (leave being required) in Delaware on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the corporation provided that, the stockholder must state in his or her complaint that he or she was a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction that is the subject of the complaint, and the stockholder must first make demand on the corporation that it bring an action and the demand be refused, unless it is shown that the demand would have been futile.

Comamtech Ontario – Under the OBCA, a complainant may apply to the court for leave to bring an action in the name and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or intervene in an action to which any such body corporate is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the body corporate. However, no action may be brought and no intervention in an action may be made unless the complainant has given fourteen days' notice to the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary of the complainant's intention to apply to the court and the court is satisfied that: the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary will not bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action; the complainant is acting in good faith; and it appears to be in the interests of the corporation or its subsidiary that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.

Anti-Takeover and Ownership Provisions

Comamtech Delaware – Unless Comamtech Delaware opts out of Section 203 of the DGCL, it will be subject to the Section which provides that Comamtech Delaware is prohibited from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder (a person or group of affiliates owning at least 15% of the voting power of Comamtech Delaware) for a period of three years after such interested stockholder became an interested stockholder unless (i) before the stockholder became an interested stockholder, Comamtech Delaware's board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting stock of Comamtech Delaware's outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (a) by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or (iii) at or subsequent to the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Comamtech Delaware.

Comamtech Ontario – The OBCA does not contain a comparable provision to Section 203 of the DGCL. However, certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including those of Ontario and Quebec in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), address related party transactions. In a related party transaction, an issuer acquires or transfers an asset or treasury securities, or assumes or transfers a liability, from or to a related party in one or any combination of transactions. A related party is defined in MI 61-101 to include directors, senior officers and holders of at least 10% of the issuer's voting securities. MI 61-101 requires detailed disclosure in the proxy material sent to security holders in connection with a related party transaction. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the policies require the proxy material to include a formal valuation of the subject matter of the related party transaction and any non-cash consideration and a summary of the valuation. MI 61-101 also requires that, subject to certain exceptions, the shareholders of the issuer, other than the related party and its affiliates, separately approve the transaction.

Stockholder Rights Plans

Comamtech Delaware – Comamtech Delaware does not currently have a shareholder rights or similar plan (colloquially known as a “poison pill” plan), which would have the effect of functioning as a potential deterrent to unsolicited takeovers.

Comamtech Ontario – Comamtech Ontario does not currently have a stockholder rights plan.

CERTAIN TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Shareholders

Certain Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the ITA, as of the date of this Circular, generally applicable to a Shareholder in respect of the Continuance and Domestication of Comamtech and Amalgamated Corporation. This summary does not otherwise address any tax considerations relevant to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Common Shares.

This summary assumes that at all relevant times, after the completion of the Continuance and Domestication, the directors’ meetings and the mind and management of Comamtech will occur in the United States.  This summary further assumes that, under Delaware law, upon the Domestication: (a) the rights associated with the Comamtech Shares will continue uninterrupted, (b) the Comamtech Shares will not be considered to have been cancelled, redeemed, exchanged, converted, alienated or otherwise extinguished or replaced, and (c) Comamtech will continue as a corporation existing under the laws of Delaware and it will not constitute a new corporation formed under the laws of Delaware which is a different legal entity from Comamtech.

This summary is based on the provisions of the ITA and the regulations thereunder (the “Canadian Regulations”) in force on the date hereof and the current administrative policies and practices of the CRA published in writing by the CRA prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the ITA and the Canadian Regulations which have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Canadian Amendments”) and assumes that all such Proposed Canadian Amendments will be enacted in their present form. No assurance can be given that the Proposed Canadian Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, if at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, or changes in the administrative policies and practices of the CRA.

 
- 38 -

 

This summary does not apply to a Shareholder that is a “financial institution” for purposes of section 142.2 of the ITA or a “specified financial institution” as defined for purposes of the Canada Tax Act or a Shareholder to which the “functional currency” reporting rules in subsection 261(4) of the ITA apply, nor does it apply to a Shareholder an interest in which is a tax shelter investment for purposes of the ITA. Such Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice or representations to any particular Shareholder. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to the transactions described in this Circular. No advance income tax ruling has been applied for or obtained from the CRA to confirm the tax consequences of any of the transactions described in this Circular. The income or other tax consequences will vary depending on a Shareholder's particular circumstances, including the country, province or other jurisdiction in which the Shareholder resides or carries on business. This summary does not take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations which may differ materially from those described herein. Shareholders should consult their own legal and tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them based on their particular circumstances.

Residents of Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Shareholder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the ITA: (a) is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada; (b) deals at arm’s length with Comamtech; (c) is not affiliated with Comamtech; and (d) holds Comamtech Shares as capital property (a “Canadian Resident Shareholder”). Comamtech Shares generally will be considered capital property to a Shareholder unless the Shareholder holds such shares in the course of carrying on a business, or the Shareholder has acquired them in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. Certain Shareholders whose Comamtech Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may be eligible to make an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the ITA to have such shares, and every other “Canadian security” (as defined in the ITA) owned by such holder, deemed to be capital property in the taxation year of the election and all subsequent taxation years.

Amalgamation of DecisionPoint and MergerCo

The Arrangement provides that DecisionPoint and MergerCo will amalgamate to form the Amalgamated Corporation and continue as one corporation under the OBCA. Comamtech shall be entitled to receive common shares in the capital of the Amalgamated Corporation. Comamtech will be deemed to dispose of its Comamtech Shares of both corporations at the fair market value of these shares. In the case where the adjusted cost base of these shares is equal to their fair market value, no tax consequences will result of the amalgamation of DecisionPoint and MergerCo.

Stated capital account of the shares of Amalgamated Corporation

The Arrangement provides that the stated capital account of the common shares of the Amalgamated Corporation shall be set to an amount equal to the paid up capital of the common shares of MergerCo and the paid up capital of the shares (common and preferred shares) of DecisionPoint that is equal to the value of its net assets (assets less liabilities). No tax consequences will result of these transactions, if the stated paid up capital of Amalgamated Corporation is equal to the value of its assets less its liabilities, and if it is equal to the adjusted cost base of the shares of Amalgamated Corporation hold by Comamtech.

 
- 39 -

 

Continuance & Domestication

No disposition of the Comamtech Shares will be considered to have occurred for Canadian federal income tax purposes solely as a result of the Continuance and Domestication of Comamtech.  Consequently, the Continuance and Domestication of Comamtech will not result in the realization of any income, gain or loss by a Canadian Resident Shareholder.

Subsequent to the Continuance and Domestication of Comamtech, dividends received or deemed to be received by a Canadian Resident Shareholder on Comamtech Shares will not benefit from the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules (including the enhanced dividend tax credit rules) which are applicable only to dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations. The full amount of dividends (including amounts deducted for U.S. withholding tax, if any, in respect of the dividends) must be included in income. To the extent U.S. withholding tax is deducted in respect of dividends paid on Comamtech Shares, the amount of such tax may be eligible for foreign tax credit or deduction treatment subject to the detailed rules and limitations under the ITA.

Subsequent to the Continuance and Domestication of Comamtech, a Canadian Resident Shareholder may need to comply with certain foreign property information reporting applicable to a “specified Canadian entity” holding “specified foreign property” (as such terms are defined in the ITA) with a tax cost which exceeds CDN$100,000. Canadian Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to whether they must comply with these reporting requirements.

Subsequent to the Continuance and Domestication of Comamtech, a Canadian Resident Shareholder may be subject to the foreign investment entity rules in respect of its Comamtech Shares. Such rules are described below (refer to “Residents of Canada – Foreign Investment Entity (FIE) Rules”).

Qualified Investments

Comamtech Shares are not a “qualified investment” under the ITA for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, deferred profit sharing plans, registered education savings plans, registered disability savings plans and tax free savings accounts.

Taxation of Capital Gains (Losses)

A Canadian Resident Shareholder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the Canadian Resident Shareholder’s Comamtech Shares. A Canadian Resident Shareholder will be required to include one-half of the amount of any resulting capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) in income, and will be required to deduct one-half of the amount of any resulting capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) against taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition.  Allowable capital losses not deducted in the taxation year in which they are realized may ordinarily be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding years or carried forward and deducted in any following year against taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances specified in the ITA.

Capital gains realized by individual or certain trusts may give rise to a liability for alternative minimum tax.

A capital loss realized by a corporation may be reduced in certain circumstances by dividends previously received or deemed to have been received thereon. Similar rules apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust. Corporate Canadian Resident Shareholders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own advisors.

Foreign Investment Entity (FIE) Rules

Amendments to the ITA relating to the income tax treatment of investments by Canadian residents in non-resident entities that constitute foreign investment entities”) (“FIEs”) were proposed in former Bill C-10 of the 39th Parliament (2nd session) (the “FIE Proposals”).  The FIE Proposals were to be generally applicable to taxation years of taxpayers commencing after 2006.  The FIE Proposals died when Parliament was dissolved on September 7, 2008 and the materials which accompanied the Canadian federal budget released on January 27, 2009 disclosed that the Canadian federal government would be reviewing submissions it has received concerning the FIE Proposals before proceeding with them. In its March 4, 2010 Budget, the Finance Minister announced that all those rules would be revisited.

 
- 40 -

 

Canadian Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors in respect of the possible application of the FIE Proposals to them.

Non-Residents of Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Shareholder who at all relevant times, for purposes of the ITA, (a) is not resident, nor deemed to be resident, in Canada, (b) deals at arm’s length with ITA; (c) is not affiliated with Comamtech; (d) holds Comamtech Shares as capital property; and (e) does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, Comamtech Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Shareholder”).  Special rules which are not discussed in this summary may apply to a Non-Resident Shareholder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere or an authorized foreign bank.

Continuance & Domestication

As described above (refer to “Residents of Canada – Continuance & Domestication”), no disposition of the Comamtech Shares will be considered to have occurred for Canadian federal income tax purposes solely as a result of the Continuance and Domestication.  Consequently, the Continuance and Domestication will not result in the realization of any income, gain or loss by a Non-Resident Shareholder.

Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the potential income tax consequences to them.

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

U.S. Tax Treatment of the Continuance and Domestication

Non U.S. persons

Shareholders who are not U.S. persons generally are not subject to tax in the U.S. except with respect to (i) their fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits and income derived from U.S. sources, (ii) income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, and (iii) income from the disposition of stock of a U.S. real property holding company (“USRPHC”). A foreign corporation engaged in business in the U.S. may also be subject to the U.S. branch profits tax with respect to its earnings and profits that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

Gain on the sale or exchange of stock Comamtech is not fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits and income derived from U.S. sources, and it has been assumed that none of Comamtech, or any of its subsidiaries will be a USRPHC at the time of the Continuance and Domestication. Therefore, gain realized on the sale or exchange of stock in Comamtech by a non-U.S. person is generally taxable in the U.S. only to the extent that the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. In that instance, the tax is calculated based on the graduated rates that otherwise apply to U.S. persons, unless an applicable tax treaty with the U.S. provides for a lower rate of tax. As noted above, an additional branch profits may be imposed if the gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of a foreign corporation.

 
- 41 -

 

An individual who is not a U.S. person is generally subject to tax on net capital gains over capital losses from sources with the U.S. if such individual is physically present in the U.S. for 183 or more days in that year.  In that instance, the U.S. tax is generally imposed at a flat rate of 30% on the gain, unless an applicable tax treaty with the U.S. provides for a lower rate of tax.  Gain on the sale or exchange of stock in Comamtech will be deemed to be from sources within the U.S. if the requisite time is spent in the U.S. by a non-U.S. person during the year of the sale or exchange.

After the Domestication, Comamtech will be a domestic U.S. corporation.  As a result, dividends paid to Shareholders who are not U.S. persons will generally be subject to U.S. withholding taxes at a flat rate of 30%, unless an applicable tax treaty with the U.S. provides for a lower rate of tax.

For example, under the U.S. – Canada Convention the withholding tax rate is generally reduced to 15% in respect of a dividend paid to a person who is the beneficial owner of the dividend and who is resident in Canada for purposes of the U.S. – Canada Convention and who is otherwise entitled to the benefits of the U.S. – Canada Convention.  Non-U.S. persons who intend to rely on the U.S. – Canada Convention should consult their tax advisor.

An individual who is neither a citizen nor a resident of the U.S. for U.S. federal estate tax purposes is potentially subject to U.S. estate taxes on the value of “U.S. situs property” included in such individual’s taxable estate.  In general, stock in a U.S. corporation, such as Comamtech following the Continuance and Domestication, is “U.S. situs property”. Complex rules exist for determining what property is includible in an individual’s taxable estate.  The first US$60,000 of “U.S. situs property” included in a non-U.S. person’s taxable estate is exempt from U.S. federal estate tax, but amounts above that threshold may be subject to tax, subject to potential relief under an applicable U.S. estate tax treaty.  Individuals who are not U.S. persons are urged to consider with their tax advisors the U.S. estate tax implications of owning shares in Comamtech after the Continuance and Domestication (in 2010 those rules do not apply, but they should apply for 2011 and afterwards).

Comamtech and Amalgamated Corporation

Certain Canadian Tax Considerations

The Continuance and Domestication of both corporations will result in Comamtech and the Amalgamated Corporation being subject to the departure tax rules under the ITA.  As a consequence of the Continuance and Domestication, Comamtech and the Amalgamated Corporation will be considered to have a taxation year-end immediately before the time of their respective emigration from Canada.  Immediately before such deemed year-end, each of Comamtech and the Amalgamated Corporation will be deemed to have disposed of each of their respective properties at their fair market value.  Any accrued income or gains will thereby be realized and subject to taxation in Canada.  Each of Comamtech and the Amalgamated Corporation will be subject to a further tax, generally equal to 25% of the amount by which the fair market value of the Comamtech’s property at the time of emigration exceeds the total of:

 
(a)
the paid-up capital of Comamtech’s shares,

 
(b)
the outstanding debts and obligations of Comamtech, and

 
(c)
an adjustment for prior period branch tax payments.

The 25% withholding tax rate may be reduced in certain circumstances.  For example, the application of US-Canada convention:

 
- 42 -

 

In the case of Comamtech these rules should have the following effect:

Management believes that based upon the extent of any accrued gains in the assets of Comamtech and the amount of paid-up capital attributable to Comamtech’s shares that the departure tax rules will not have a materially adverse effect upon Comamtech; and

In the case of Amalgamated Corporation these rules should have the following effect:

The Arrangement provides that DecisionPoint will amalgamate with a Canadian company MergerCo. Immediately prior to the amalgamation, DecisionPoint will be deemed to dispose of all of its assets at fair market value.

The Arrangement also provides that the stated capital account of the common shares of the Amalgamated Corporation shall be set to an amount equal to the paid up capital of the common shares of MergerCo and the paid up capital of the shares (common and preferred shares) of DecisionPoint that is equal to the value of its net assets (assets less liabilities).

Assuming that Amalgamated Corporation has an adjusted cost base on its assets equal to their fair market value and that the stated paid up capital of the shares of Amalgamated Corporation is equal to the value of its assets less its liabilities, then the departure tax rules should have no adverse tax consequences.

Certain United States Tax Considerations

After the Continuance and Domestication, Comamtech will be a domestic U.S. corporation.  As a result, Comamtech will pay U.S. income taxes on its taxable income derived from all sources, subject to various deductions and credits as provided under the U.S. Tax Code.  Comamtech and its subsidiaries may also be subject to a variety of “anti-deferral” provisions of the U.S. Tax Code, including rules that may require Comamtech to include in income for U.S. tax purposes its share of the income of any foreign subsidiary that qualifies as a “controlled foreign corporation”, whether or not that income is distributed.  In addition, Comamtech may not be entitled to a U.S. tax benefit with respect to any net operating losses or other tax attributes realized while it was a Canadian corporation.

Shareholders should be aware that the Arrangement and the ownership of securities of Comamtech may have tax consequences in the United States that are not described in this Circular. Shareholders that are subject to United States taxation should consult their own tax advisors concerning the United States federal, state and local income tax consequences of such matters.

PRINCIPAL LEGAL MATTERS

Stock Exchange Listing

The Comamtech Shares are currently traded on OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol COMT.

In accordance with NASDAQ listing rules, NASDAQ, following closing of the Harris Transaction, delivered a written notification on November 4, 2010, that the Comamtech Shares would be delisted, unless it appealed the determination by requesting a hearing. On November 10, 2010, Comamtech requested a hearing, which was held on December 16, 2010.

On December 21, 2010, NASDAQ informed Comamtech that it would be delisted from the NASDAQ and that trading in its shares would be suspended effective upon the open of business on Thursday, December 23, 2010.

 
- 43 -

 

The NASDAQ Hearing Panel acknowledged that Comamtech appears to be making good faith and diligent efforts to move quickly toward a reverse merger acquisition with DecisionPoint. However, the NASDAQ Hearing Panel concluded that the prospective timeline and associated uncertainty regarding conditions required for the NASDAQ listing in connection with the DecisionPoint transaction are longer than a public shell should remain listed on the NASDAQ. The NASDAQ Hearing Panel therefore declined to exercise discretionary authority to permit continued listing of Comamtech pending the closing of the Arrangement and determined that Comamtech will be delisted.

Comamtech is a registered reporting issuer with the SEC as the successor to Copernic. Public reports filed by Comamtech are available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Comamtech will pursue a new listing on the NASDAQ. NASDAQ requires various minimum financial and qualitative conditions to be satisfied in order to qualify for listing on one of the NASDAQ trading platforms.  The respective management teams of Comamtech and DecisionPoint will endeavor to meet the minimum listing requirements as soon as reasonably possible, however, it is uncertain whether Comamtech will be able to satisfy the NASDAQ listing conditions during the foreseeable future.

Reporting Issuer Status

Comamtech as an issuer is a “reporting issuer” under the Securities Act (Ontario) as a successor reporting issuer to Copernic and its public reports in Canada are filed under its profile on SEDAR available at www.sedar.com.  Comamtech is a registered reporting issuer with the SEC as the successor to Copernic. Public reports filed by Comamtech are available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Canadian Securities Law Matters

It is expected that the Comamtech Shares and Comamtech Preferred Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued in reliance on exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws. The first trade of Comamtech Shares or Comamtech Preferred Shares issued in connection with the Arrangement will not be subject to any restricted or hold period in Canada if:

 
(a)
at the time of such first trade, Comamtech is and has been a reporting issuer or the equivalent under the legislation of a jurisdiction of Canada for the four months immediately preceding the trade. Comamtech became a reporting issuer after closing of the Harris Transaction in Ontario, Canada and for the purpose of the resale of such securities, the holders of such securities may include the period of time during which Copernic was a reporting issuer prior to the Harris Transaction to determine the period of time that Comamtech has been a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction in Canada;

 
(b)
no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for such securities which are the subject of the trade;

 
(c)
no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person or company in respect of the trade;

 
(d)
if the seller of the securities is an insider or officer of Comamtech, the seller has no reasonable grounds to believe that Comamtech is in default of any requirement of applicable securities legislation; and

 
(e)
the first trade is not from the holdings of a person or company or a combination of persons or companies holding a sufficient number of any securities of Comamtech so as to affect materially the control of Comamtech (a holding by any person, company or combination of persons and/or companies of more than 20% of the outstanding voting securities of Comamtech is deemed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to affect materially the control of Comamtech).

 
- 44 -

 

United States Securities Law Matters

The Comamtech Shares, Comamtech Preferred Shares, Comamtech Options and Comamtech Warrants to be issued to DecisionPoint security holders pursuant to the Arrangement will not be registered under the 1933 Act, and are being issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act. The Final Order will constitute the basis for an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act for the Comamtech Shares, Comamtech Preferred Shares, Comamtech Options and Comamtech Warrants to be issued to former DecisionPoint security holders pursuant to the Arrangement.

The Court will be advised before the hearing of the application for the Final Order of the effect of the Final Order, and will be advised that if the terms and conditions of the Arrangement are approved by the Court, (i) Comamtech will rely on such Section 3(a)(10) exemption based on the Court’s approval of the Arrangement, and (ii) the Comamtech Shares, Comamtech Preferred Shares, Comamtech Options and Comamtech Warrants issued pursuant to the Arrangement will not require registration under the 1933 Act. Comamtech Shares, Comamtech Preferred Shares, Comamtech Options and Comamtech Warrants issued pursuant to the Arrangement to a Comamtech security holder who is not an “affiliate” of Comamtech before the Arrangement and who will not be an “affiliate” of Comamtech at the time of any resale of the Comamtech Shares, Comamtech Preferred Shares, Comamtech Options and Comamtech Warrants for purposes of United States federal securities laws, may be resold pursuant to the general exemptions from registration under Section 4(1) of the 1933 Act. Any resale of such Comamtech Shares, Comamtech Preferred Shares, Comamtech Options and Comamtech Warrants by such an affiliate (or former affiliate) may be subject to the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, absent an exemption therefrom. Any such affiliate (or former affiliate) should obtain the advice of its legal counsel with respect to the application of the 1933 Act to the offer or sale of such Comamtech Shares, Comamtech Preferred Shares, Comamtech Options and Comamtech Warrants by such person. For the purposes of the 1933 Act, an “affiliate” of Comamtech is a person which directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, Comamtech.

In addition, after the Effective Date, Comamtech will no longer benefit from its “private foreign issuer” status with the SEC.  Consequently, it will be subject to the domestic issuer rules of the SEC, including full compliance with proxy rules and Sarbanes-Oxley reporting requirements.

DecisionPoint Shareholders resident in the United States and residing elsewhere than in Canada are urged to consult their legal advisors to determine the extent of all applicable resale provisions.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

To the knowledge of the management of Comamtech, no person who has been a director or executive officer of Comamtech since the beginning of the last financial year and/or associate or affiliate of any above-mentioned director or executive officer has any direct or indirect material interest in the form of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, except as disclosed herein and for (i) Mr. Marc Ferland, President and Chief Executive Officer,2 who is entitled, pursuant to an employment agreement dated June 16, 2010, to a payment of CDN$150,000 to be paid by Comamtech upon the completion of the Arrangement, and (ii) Mr. David Goldman, whose consulting agreement provides for a payment of CDN$300,000 payable by the issuance of 89,937 Comamtech Shares to Mr. Goldman upon the closing of this transaction.
_____________________________

Pursuant to Mr. Jean-Rock Fournier’s terms of employment, if any of the following events occur within one year from the completion of the Arrangement: (i) if the employment of Mr. Jean-Rock Fournier as Secretary, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer is terminated by Comamtech (except for cause); or (ii) Mr. Fournier is asked by Comamtech to relocate or perform the substantial part of his services outside the City of Québec and he refuses to do so; or (iii) Mr. Fournier’s responsibilities are greatly reduced and subsequent thereto Mr. Fournier resigns; or (iv) the total compensation under Mr. Fournier’s employment agreement is reduced; then Mr. Fournier shall be entitled to a lump sum payment of his current annual salary being CDN$160,000. It is currently the intention of Comamtech to terminate Mr. Fournier’s employment shortly after the completion of the Arrangement.

On July 6, 2010, Copernic entered into an investment banking Engagement Letter with Spencer Clarke pursuant to which the Spencer Clarke was engaged by Copernic to act as Copernic’s agent and advisor for opportunities in connection with any proposed merger and acquisition transaction, on a non-exclusive basis.  The obligations arising from the Engagement Letter has been assumed by Comamtech.  According to the terms of the Engagement Letter, Spencer Clarke was paid a retainer in the amount of US$25,000 with an additional agent’s fee payable and equal to the higher of (i) US$250,000; or (ii) 3% of the aggregate value of the transaction, defined as the aggregate purchase price of the acquired entity, including assumed debt, forgiveness of debt, extraordinary dividends and any other consideration paid in connection with a transaction.  Comamtech and Spencer Clarke have agreed that the fee shall be payable through the issuance of 154,709 Comamtech Shares at Closing of the transaction.

As at the Record Date, the directors and executive officers of Comamtech, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over approximately 45,316 Comamtech Shares representing approximately 2.16% of the issued and outstanding Comamtech Shares. All of the Comamtech Shares held by the directors and executive officers of Comamtech will be treated in the same manner under the Arrangement as the Comamtech Shares held by other Shareholders.

DecisionPoint Systems Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of DecisionPoint. DecisionPoint Group has two wholly owned subsidiaries, DecisionPoint Systems CA, Inc. (“DPS – CA”) formerly known as Creative Concepts Software, Inc. (“CCS”) and DecisionPoint Systems CT, Inc. (“DPS – CT”) formerly known as Sentinel Business Systems, Inc. (“SBS”). The combined company is a data collection systems integrator that sells and installs mobile devices, software, and related bar coding equipment, radio frequency identification systems technology and provides custom solutions.

In December 2003, DecisionPoint formed the DecisionPoint Stock Option Plan and loaned to the DecisionPoint Stock Option Plan US$1,950,000 that the DecisionPoint ESOP Trust used to acquire all of its stock from its former CCS stockholder. DecisionPoint also adopted a fiscal year end of December 31.  DecisionPoint completed its acquisition of SBS in March 2006.

Founded in 1995, DPS – CA was a leading provider of Enterprise Mobility Solutions. Industry expertise included grocery, retail general merchandise and warehousing primarily in the western United States. DPS – CA provided all of the services necessary to ensure a successful project. They provided turnkey solutions which included: project management, system design, application development, system integration, hardware configuration and staging, wireless system installation, user training, help desk support and hardware maintenance.

Founded in 1976, DPS – CT developed over time a family of powerful enterprise data collection software solutions, products and services. Their flagship product, CASE Tools/Pathfinder™, was introduced in 1992. In 1980, SBS became Intermec, Inc.’s (“Intermec”) first Value Added Reseller. In 2000, SBS also joined forces with Symbol Technologies, Inc. (“Symbol”) as a Solution Partner. SBS maintained their leadership in the data collection industry for over 25 years. They offered complete enterprise data collection solutions: rapid application development tools, transaction server, hardware, services, media and support. The combination of these companies, created a National Mobile Solutions and radio frequency identification systems (“RFID”) company that can provide solutions from historical knowledge and added expertise.

Recent Developments

Comamtech has been advised on January 18, 2011, that Sigma and DecisionPoint will be entering into a non-binding letter of intent whereby Sigma would inject DecisionPoint with between US$3,200,000 and US$4,000,000 in financing in exchange for 3,200 to 4,000 Preferred Shares at price of US$1,000 per DecisionPoint Preferred Share. The DecisionPoint Preferred Shares under the term sheet are convertible into DecisionPoint Shares at a fixed price of US$3.20 per share. The investment is conditional on the successful completion of the Arrangement by February 28, 2011 and a satisfactory due diligence review by Sigma. The investment is based on a fully diluted post-Arrangement count of 7,400,000 DecisiontPoint Shares, subject to adjustment following the closing of the Arrangement. Should this transaction between Sigma and DecisionPoint be consummated at a value of US$3,200,000 with a conversion price of US$3.20 per share, it will result in an additional dilution to Shareholders of 3.8% on a fully diluted in-the-money basis.

On December 31, 2010, DecisionPoint completed a transaction with CMAC pursuant to which the shareholders of CMAC have agreed to sell to DecisionPoint all of the issued and outstanding shares of CMAC for a purchase price of US$3.15 million payable as to: (i) US$2.205 million payable by DecisionPoint in cash at closing; and (ii) US$945,000 payable in unregistered shares of common stock of DecisionPoint. It was also agreed that 10% of the cash portion of the purchase price will be placed in escrow for a period of fifteen (15) months following the closing in order to protect against any indemnity claims DecisionPoint may have against the selling shareholders of CMAC. The transaction, which closed on December 31, 2010, will increase DecisionPoint's revenues by approximately 20% and assets by 10% on a pro forma basis.

Description of the Business

Overview

Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, DecisionPoint delivers to its customers the ability to make better, faster, and more accurate business decisions by implementing industry-specific, enterprise wireless and mobile computing systems for their front-line employees.  It is these systems which provide the information to improve the hundreds of individual business decisions made each day.  The “productivity paradox” is that the information remains locked away in their organization’s enterprise computing system, accessible only when employees are at their desk. DecisionPoint solves this productivity issue. The result for DecisionPoint’s customers is they are able to move their business decision points closer to their own customers whom in turn, drive their own improved productivity and operational efficiencies.

DecisionPoint does this by providing its customers with everything they need through the process of achieving their enterprise mobility goals starting with the planning of their systems, to the design and build stage, to the deployment and support stage, and finally to achieving their projected Return On Investment (“ROI”). DecisionPoint’s business designs, sells, installs and services voice and data communications products and systems for private networks and wireless broadband systems to a wide range of enterprise markets, including retail, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, as well as other commercial customers (which, collectively, are referred to as the “commercial enterprise market”).

 
- 54 -

 

A graphical view of DecisionPoint’s business process is presented below:


 
Typical solution that DecisionPoint delivers consists of a combination of the following:

 
(a)
specialized mobile computers;

 
(b)
a wireless network infrastructure (or the use of a national wireless carrier);

 
(c)
specialized mobile application software;

 
(d)
integration software to DecisionPoint’s customer existing enterprise systems; and

 
(e)
a range of professional services needed to make it all “work”.

Delivering this value requires a full range of services and a substantial and unique set of resources and experience. DecisionPoint employs a highly talented and experienced staff of architects, engineers, and support personnel to guide its customers through this process to success.

During the business cycle DecisionPoint’s highly experienced professionals will:

 
(a)
consult with customers about their business needs;

 
(b)
design the overall enterprise mobile solution to fit the need;

 
(c)
build or acquire the software needed for the solution;

 
(d)
acquire the wireless and mobile computers needed;

 
(e)
deliver the services to deploy it all; and

 
(f)
support the system after it has been installed.

DecisionPoint’s deliverable of this value to enterprise customers is very different than delivering similar technology to the consumer. Unlike buying and activating a personal mobile phone or buying a laptop computer with Windows®, bringing mobile computing to the front-line enterprise worker is orders of magnitude more challenging. This is because, unlike the individual consumer, the enterprise has significant performance, reliability, and security requirements. This is in addition to the fact that any system must be integrated with the complex enterprise computing systems already in place. Therefore, DecisionPoint must possess the required knowledge and manage a myriad of technical details and nuances to achieve DecisionPoint’s customer desired outcome.

 
- 55 -

 

As a part of delivering this value, DecisionPoint has developed an “ecosystem” of partners which DecisionPoint brings to every customer situation. The standout partner in this ecosystem is the Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions Division, (“EMS”) for which DecisionPoint consistently is one of the nation’s top Value Added Resellers (“VAR”) and a Premier Solution Partner.  DecisionPoint also partner with other top equipment and software suppliers such as Zebra Technologies Corporation (“Zebra”), Datamax - O’Neil (“O’Neil”) - a unit of the Dover Corporation, in addition to a host of specialized independent software vendors (“ISV”) such as AirVersent, Inc., Antenna Software, GlobalBay Mobile Technologies, Inc., Mobileframe LLC, Syclo LLC and Wavelink Corporation.

Major vendors and other top partners have come to depend on the VAR channel in order to grow their own businesses.  This is because they cannot cost-effectively penetrate their target markets alone given the number and variety of ways their product is applied and because of the myriad of complex integration requirements.  They have come to view their role as providing the best-of-breed wireless and mobile computing technology to the market and partner with companies like DecisionPoint to extend its business. This applies not only to Motorola with wireless and mobile computing technology, but also with other high tech manufacturers who produce printers, labels, RFID and other technology products.

As DecisionPoint’s markets have grown and have become more sophisticated, DecisionPoint has grown both in size and in the nature and type of offerings.  As DecisionPoint’s customers come to depend more and more on enterprise wireless and mobile computing to run their businesses, DecisionPoint continues to deliver and expand the services to keep those systems running. DecisionPoint is actively moving into the areas of enterprise managed services and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) to continue to deliver DecisionPoint’s value and build ongoing revenue streams.

DecisionPoint has made several investments in SaaS offerings in response to what DecisionPoint believes will be a fundamental shift in its customers buying behaviour. And DecisionPoint is monitoring the results closely. Customers are fundamentally beginning to realize that they do not have to own the entire end-to-end solution in order to reap its benefits. And, in fact, there could be major cost savings for them if they chose instead to receive part of the value of what DecisionPoint has to offer in a SaaS model. DecisionPoint is a believer in this theory, as it is an avid salesforce.com customer. Salesforce.com is one of the world’s largest SaaS companies.

Marketplace

Industry

Over the past five years, the enterprise mobile computing industry has standardized several key technologies. This standardization has enabled the market to grow. Examples of this include the WindowsMobile operating system for mobile devices, 802.11 a/b/g “Wi-Fi” wireless local area networks, and robust nationwide wireless carrier data networks such as AT&T and T-Mobile (HSDPA technology), and Verizon and Sprint (EVDO technology).

This standardization has allowed mobile computing manufacturers to build product to these widely adopted standards, creating the opportunity to automate workers using these standards. These developments have created many opportunities for DecisionPoint to build enterprise wireless and mobile computing solutions for its customer’s needs.

Determining which enterprise wireless and mobile solutions DecisionPoint delivers to its customers highly depends on several key factors including the customers’ industry. It requires that DecisionPoint possess domain expertise in its customers industry. It also requires business application software expertise, and mobile computing and wireless networking technical acumen.

 
- 56 -

 

The customers’ industry is very important because unlike generic wireless business applications such as email, the applications that DecisionPoint provides involve business processes which are very specific to a vertical market. An example is Proof-of-Delivery (“POD”). In order for a POD application to deliver value it must not only be tailored to a specific industry, but it must also be tailored to each specific courier company depending on how they run their business process.

DecisionPoint’s key to delivering customer value profitably is for us to know where standardized system hardware and software components will deliver the required result and where they cannot and therefore, more custom components need to be utilized. This capability comes from DecisionPoint’s years of experience, its talented professionals and its highly developed ecosystem of partners.

DecisionPoint provides a complete line of deployment and integration services, including site surveys, equipment configuration and staging, system installation, depot services, software support, training programs and project management.

Current Market Environment

Over the last several years, DecisionPoint has been repositioning itself to focus more on providing higher margin, customer-driven, mobile wireless and RFID solutions rather than providing simply hardware and customized software as a reseller. This is the key to increasing DecisionPoint’s profitability and is also a major point of differentiation. Small resellers and large catalog resellers simply do not want to, or cannot, provide the types of services needed to make these systems a success.  DecisionPoint’s major ecosystem partners, such as Motorola, recognize this and have come to depend more and more on DecisionPoint to deliver the business value that their products enable.

By referring more end-user demand to DecisionPoint, manufacturers can leverage DecisionPoint’s personnel and skill to provide customers with enhanced personal service. With deep expertise about specific customers’ operations, resellers are very effective in promoting sales of key vendor’s products. Today, a majority of Motorola’s sales of mobile computers are through the sales channel in which DecisionPoint participates.

DecisionPoint benefits from other advantages by participating in this sales channel. The industry leaders have established program rewards, such as favorable pricing structure incentives, for those top-tier VARs who invest in their programs and technologies. Not only does this reward DecisionPoint’s investments in personnel, it also creates a high bar for entry by requiring that other potential competitors must pass the same training and certification requirements that DecisionPoint personnel have passed.

Within its commercial enterprise market, DecisionPoint believes there continues to be long-term opportunity for growth as the global workforce continues to become more mobile and the industries and markets that purchase DecisionPoint’s products and services continue to expand. The markets in which DecisionPoint competes include mobile computing products and services, enterprise wireless services, bar code scanning, RFID products and services and mobile network management platforms. Organizations looking to increase productivity and derive benefits from mobilizing their applications and workforces are driving adoption in this market. In 2009, given the current global economic conditions and customer capital expenditure constraints, DecisionPoint has expected reduced spending in the commercial enterprise market.

DecisionPoint’s strategy in its target market is to enable its customers to focus on their missions, not the technology. This is accomplished by providing mission-critical systems, seamless connectivity through highly reliable voice and data networks and a suite of advanced and/or custom applications that provide real-time information to end users.

DecisionPoint Target Market(s)

The markets for enterprise wireless and mobile computing are very fragmented while also being extremely complex in nature. But generally they can be characterized by the following attributes:

 
(a)
Vertical market industries which require specific domain expertise;

 
(b)
Industries which track goods or deliver a service in the field (or both); or

 
(c)
Industries which have a significant group of mobile workers, whether they operate primarily in one place or in the field.

In the commercial enterprise market, DecisionPoint’s approach is to deliver products and services that are designed to empower the mobile workforce to increase productivity, drive cost effectiveness and promote faster execution of critical business processes.

Vertical Markets

The attractiveness of any vertical market for DecisionPoint depends directly on the size and nature of the problems which that market faces that can be addressed by enterprise wireless and mobile computing. Historically, retail, warehousing, and manufacturing were the largest industries. Each typically had large amounts of goods in constant motion which needed to be tracked. And each had a workforce which primarily operated in one place (i.e. a retail store, a distribution center or a factory).

Although these markets are still attractive for DecisionPoint and comprise a significant portion of DecisionPoint’s business, new markets are emerging which hold as great or even greater promise than DecisionPoint’s historical markets.

Transportation and logistics, and field services such as repair and maintenance, delivery and inspections are now emerging as great new markets. This is primarily due to the arrival of robust, national wireless carrier networks that can reach a field-based mobile worker almost anywhere they are. The general term for this new group of markets is referred to as “Field Mobility”. Although it cuts across multiple industries and business applications, it has one common characteristic: goods are tracked or services are being performed by field-based workforces, not workers operating in a single location under one roof.

DecisionPoint’s Field Mobility Practice

DecisionPoint believes that the growth of Field Mobility-based markets will be so significant over the next several years, that DecisionPoint has created a dedicated specialty business practice inside of DecisionPoint to focus on it. This practice was established in 2008, with the express purpose of replicating DecisionPoint’s historical success with a new set of customers and challenges together with a new ecosystem of partners which includes the four major wireless carriers of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. The carriers not only bring potential new opportunities to DecisionPoint but also have attractive programs which allow us to earn additional revenue from them when DecisionPoint facilitates service of mobile computers and devices on their networks.

DecisionPoint is not alone in DecisionPoint’s expectations of growth for Field Mobility.  Motorola, as demonstrated through its strong on-going support, is also counting on significant growth as well. They believe that as wireless carrier networks become ubiquitous, it will increase their market opportunity to put greater numbers of mobile computers into the hands of entire groups of field-based workers who may have never had a mobile computer before.

Products and Services

Mobile Applications

DecisionPoint deploys mobile applications for a wide variety of business processes, depending on the industry. Below is a brief overview of some of those applications by industry:

 
(a)
Retail Store: Stock locator, shelf price marking, markdowns, inventory control, physical inventory, merchandising, customer service and mobile point-of-sale (“POS”).

 
(b)
Warehousing and Distribution: Order shipping, order picking and packing, stock move and replenishments, product receipt and putaway, labeling, physical inventory and cycle counts.

 
(c)
Manufacturing: Production count, work-in-process tracking, raw material consumption, quality control and assurance, lot/batch/serial number control and scrap reporting.

 
(d)
Transportation and Logistics: POD, turn-by-turn directions, route optimization, cross-docking, returns and driver logging.

 
(e)
Field Mobility: Field service and repair, enterprise asset management, inspection, preventative maintenance, surveys, rounds and readings.

Software

Unlike the market for standardized business software such as email or accounting, the market for enterprise mobile software is more customized. One size does not fit all. Software for enterprise mobile systems must support the specialized business processes in an industry-specific and sometimes customer-specific way. For this reason, DecisionPoint utilizes several avenues to provide the mobile software solutions to meet its customers’ needs depending on their situation and requirements:

 
·
Software sourced from specialized Independent Software Vendors. The software produced by key ISVs is designed to fit a need in a particular vertical market and application. Even still, it must be tailored to meet the needs of each customer. Depending on the situation, this tailoring is done by DecisionPoint or by the ISV themselves under contract to DecisionPoint. DecisionPoint has built a network of ISVs in its ecosystem specializing in Field Mobility applications for this purpose.

 
·
CASE Tools/Pathfinder™ is DecisionPoint’s own application development platform. Developed over the past 20 years, it is a stable and capable software platform for many typical application uses but generally not for Field Mobility applications.

 
·
Custom software created in-house using standardized programming tools like Microsoft .NET® framework and Java™.  These are used by customer demand or when there is simply no other “off-the-shelf” way to meet the customer’s requirements.

DecisionPoint has multiple software options available which gives us the ability to meet the customer’s total need at the best value to them. DecisionPoint intentionally has made a point not to be “married” to any single vendor, product offering and/or solution in order to be focused on the customers’ ultimate needs.

Professional Services

DecisionPoint’s professional services offerings fall into one of three categories: business consulting, technical consulting and technical development. Business consulting is where DecisionPoint engages with DecisionPoint’s customer to help them understand the potential ROI of implementing mobile computing, as an example, for a particular business process. Technical consulting services help determine the technology to be used and how it is to be implemented. Technical development includes actual software programming and configuration of the mobile application itself as well as interface software needed to connect to DecisionPoint’s customer existing back-office systems.

Rollout, Support and Management Services

These services involve actually installing a solution into the customer’s computer systems infrastructure (“implementation”) and then replicating that implementation out to all their operating locations (“rollout”). The rollout is critical because unless the mobile computing solution is rolled out across all operating locations, the desired ROI will most likely be limited.

DecisionPoint offers a wide range of services in this category. They include everything from assembling kits of everything needed for the system on a per location basis (“kitting”) to providing logistical services for rollout (“staging”), to advanced exchange services for broken units in the field, to help desk support and to a self-service portal where a customer can check the status of a service case or equipment repair.

For Field Mobility projects, carrier activation is a key service. Activation is where DecisionPoint actually activates mobile computers and/or devices to run on the carrier networks. Not only is this a key service to complete projects, but it is also a source of revenue for DecisionPoint from the carriers when DecisionPoint activates mobile computers and/or devices to operate on the carrier networks.

Finally, DecisionPoint is adding offerings in the managed services and SaaS categories. Increasingly, customers want to outsource various aspects of operating and maintaining their enterprise mobile systems. DecisionPoint is providing various service offerings to remotely manage customers’ mobile computers and wireless networks as well as offer mobile software on a SaaS subscription basis.

Hardware

DecisionPoint’s hardware reseller sales strategy is designed to avoid competing for hardware sales based solely on low cost provider status. Throughout the sales cycle, DecisionPoint is diligent to point out to a customer that hardware is only one component of the complete solution they are looking for. And by bundling the software and services, mentioned above together with the hardware, DecisionPoint positions itself as the value-added solution provider. This positioning differentiates DecisionPoint from the low-price, “discount” hardware resellers who do not have this capability.

DecisionPoint offers the following types of enterprise wireless and mobile computing hardware on a cost competitive basis:

 
(a)
Handheld and vehicle-mounted, ruggedized mobile computers;

 
(b)
802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN (“Wi-Fi”) infrastructure;

 
(c)
Mesh networking wireless infrastructure, such as the Motorola Canopy product line;

 
(d)
RFID tag readers and related infrastructure;

 
(e)
GPS receivers;

Consumables

DecisionPoint has extensive expertise in bar code and RFID consumables solutions. DecisionPoint offers a full line of high quality labels, RFID tags, and printer ribbons to meet the demands of every printing system. DecisionPoint selects the right components from a wide range of products on the market from both independent and original equipment manufacturers of printers and RFID printers/encoders. Matching media to the unique application is what makes the system work. In addition, consumables are essentially a recurring revenue stream once a customer has their system up and running.

Sales and Marketing

Customer Base

DecisionPoint’s historical success has largely followed the broad adoption of enterprise wireless and mobile computing technology industry by industry. As mentioned above, this adoption pattern started with retail stores and moved backward through the retail supply chain into distribution and then manufacturing. It also spread horizontally from the retail supply chain into the supply chain of industrial goods as well. Since the roots of DecisionPoint go back to the mid 1970’s, DecisionPoint’s customer base mirrors this fact as well. DecisionPoint’s products and services are sold nationwide to a diverse set of customers such as retail, utility, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, wholesale and distribution and other commercial customers.

A cross-section of DecisionPoint’s customers includes:

 
(a)
Retailers in various categories and sizes, including “Tier-1” companies such as Liz Claiborne, Inc., PETCO Animal Supplies, Inc., Nike, Inc., Nordstrom, Inc. , and Grocery Outlet (Canned Foods, Inc.).

 
(b)
Manufacturing companies such as Dade Behring (Division of Siemens), Sargent Manufacturing Co. (Division of ASSA Abloy), Timken Corp., Swiss Army Brands, Smith & Wesson and pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Inc., and Celgene Corp.

 
(c)
Transportation, warehousing and distribution, including logistics companies such as Con-way, Inc., Golden State Overnight Delivery Service, Inc. and Frontier Logistics LP.

Now that the Field Mobility marketplace is starting to grow significantly, DecisionPoint is working with customers such as Wackenhut Corp., for security services for their patrol officers, Scientific Games Corp., for their field service technicians, and Mobile Mini, Inc., a provider of mobile temporary storage facilities.

Go-To-Market Model

DecisionPoint aims to deliver the “whole solution” to a customer, from solution design through to support. DecisionPoint’s objective is to target markets that will permit the delivery of as many of these products and services as possible, so as to maximize the profit opportunity while minimizing the costs of sale and delivery.

Thus, DecisionPoint seeks to classify the type of end-user that it targets in order to quickly and cost-effectively put the right amount of resources on each sales opportunity. The three main end-user classifications are:

 
(a)
Full Solution Customer – This is a customer that wants us to provide not only the entire solution, but also the ongoing support of the system. Such an end-user views the entire system as critical to its business and wants to outsource it to industry professionals. This is the ideal customer for DecisionPoint, one that understands and values the cost effectiveness of the entire solution and ongoing support of the system.

 
(b)
Customer as their own integrator – The end-user sources all the parts and pieces of the system, programs it, installs it, commissions it and supports it. In effect, the customer is their own integrator, and wants to buy products and services only in a transactional relationship. DecisionPoint limits its resources to provide these customers with competitive product and service pricing.

 
(c)
Hybrid Customer – Such customers have some systems integration capability themselves but have also recognized that “they know what they don’t know” and are willing to contract for certain services as part of an enhanced transactional relationship. A Hybrid Customer is attractive on a case-by-case basis depending on the circumstances of the situation.

In each of the three scenarios above, DecisionPoint strives to position its professional services as a core value-added component to the customer. DecisionPoint’s ability to reliably test, configure, kit, stage, and deploy large rollouts of mobile computers for specialized applications is a key service offering that enables DecisionPoint’s customers to realize the ROI they were expecting on mobile computing in the first place.

Sales and Sales Support

DecisionPoint supports its go-to-market model using field-based teams of seasoned account executives with both pre- and post- sale systems architects who are experienced in all areas of enterprise mobile computing. Their focus is to develop customers’ enterprise wireless and mobile computing requirements in order to develop solutions for them and ultimately close business for DecisionPoint’s product and service set that fulfills those requirements.

DecisionPoint fulfills the need for application software both in-house and through ISVs depending on specific customer need. ISVs like this model because they are generally looking for sales, marketing and integration partners like DecisionPoint to expand their own reach.

DecisionPoint currently employs 52 people in its marketing, sales and professional services operation. DecisionPoint has one marketing person, 19 sales people, all of whom are qualified in system technology design, installation and integration. They receive substantial technical support and assistance from 22 systems engineers and technicians and six software engineers. Supporting the sales effort are four sales administrators, who are responsible for the detailed order entry and for the inputting of the related data into DecisionPoint’s MAS accounting system.

Geographically, the sales team is spread throughout the United States and can handle projects on a national and international basis from its East and West coast facilities. When a situation dictates, DecisionPoint may utilize independent contractors.

Sales System Support: salesforce.com

DecisionPoint makes extensive use of the salesforce.com customer relationship management (“CRM”) system to support its sales and marketing operations. All business processes from demand creation through closing orders are tracked using salesforce.com. This includes the following business processes: marketing campaign management, lead generation, sales opportunity and pipeline management, sales forecasting, sales territory and account management, and strategic account planning.

In addition, all professional services projects are tracked using salesforce.com as well as time tracking. These tools allow us to get a picture of project profitability which helps us manage DecisionPoint’s key project resources.

Marketing Activities

DecisionPoint addresses DecisionPoint’s target markets through a combination of DecisionPoint’s own marketing activities, relationship selling and vendor-supplied leads. The common aim is to establish DecisionPoint’s credibility in the space, and then definitively demonstrate to the potential customer that DecisionPoint can tailor solutions to that customer’s needs.

DecisionPoint’s seasoned sales team also provides many sales opportunities through past relationships and detailed domain knowledge of the operations of the top companies in the target market space. Given that enterprise wireless and mobile computing systems are a complex sale, it is very beneficial to have knowledge of how individual companies actually operate, how they address IT systems issues, and how they buy and manage complex technology. DecisionPoint’s sales teams use such information to their advantage against some of the commodity-type resellers in the space.

Vendor-supplied leads play a part in DecisionPoint’s success as well, in that vendors see it to their advantage to funnel sales opportunities to DecisionPoint thereby minimizing their selling costs. They are also willing to spend a sizeable portion of their discretionary marketing development budget for demand generation activities.

DecisionPoint’s investment in its Field Mobility practice is paying off in the form of wireless carrier sales leads. DecisionPoint established key wireless carrier relationships in 2008, and are now seeing the fruit of its labor. The carriers in many areas of the country have DecisionPoint as ‘top-of-mind’ when it comes to bringing specialized mobile applications to their existing customers.

In early 2009, DecisionPoint added an internal sales development function. Currently staffed by a seasoned industry veteran, this function is to continually cull all sources of leads and nurture them to the qualification stage where it makes economic sense for one of DecisionPoint’s account executives to get involved.

Realizing that statistics show that the vast majority of B2B activity today starts with an Internet search, DecisionPoint has invested in some forward-thinking tools and technologies to help meet DecisionPoint’s future customers there. For 2009, this includes not only a major revamp of DecisionPoint’s website, www.decisionpt.com, but also piloting online, closed-loop demand generation technologies and programs in order to productively increase the sales pipeline. This includes email marketing with closed-loop feedback as well as email campaigns that track recipient behaviour after their receipt in real time. This allows us to convert them into active prospects at the exact time they are investigating solutions for their particular problem.

Competition

The business in which DecisionPoint operates in is highly competitive. Continued evolution in the industry, as well as technological migration, is opening up the market to increased competition. Other key competitive factors include: technology offered; price; availability of financing; product and system performance; product features, quality, availability and warranty; the quality and availability of service; company reputation; relationship with key customers and time-to-market. DecisionPoint is uniquely positioned in the industry due to its strong customer and vendor relationships, its technological leadership and capabilities and its comprehensive range of offerings.

DecisionPoint competes with other VAR and system integrators/engineering organizations (“SI”) in system design, integration and maintenance arenas.  However, as a Tier-1 reseller for major equipment vendors including Motorola and Zebra, DecisionPoint encounters fewer than ten competitive Tier-1 VARs and SIs representing these manufacturers in the marketplace.

DecisionPoint typically wins business from such competitors based on its turnkey software engineering skills and one-stop-shop technical capabilities. Recognizing DecisionPoint as a significant VAR within its universe of Tier-1 partners, Motorola has granted DecisionPoint variable pricing applicable to specific major customers. These price discounts give us an edge in the marketplace through greater margin flexibility. As a result, DecisionPoint does not typically lose contracts due to price sensitivity.

Large system integrators are seeking to move further into the segment that DecisionPoint competes in. Competitors in this segment, including us, may also serve as subcontractors to large system integrators and are selected based on a number of competitive factors and customer requirements. Where favorable to us, DecisionPoint may partner with other system integrators to make available DecisionPoint’s portfolio of advanced mission-critical services, applications and devices.

DecisionPoint has identified the following ten (10) companies as primary competitors in the VAR and SI spaces:

 
(a)
Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS) – Formerly known as Pioneer Standard Electronics, Agilysys is a publicly traded NASDAQ company and is a distributor of enterprise computer system solutions with US$1.8 billion in revenue. One of their divisions provides services similar to those offered by DecisionPoint.

 
(b)
International Business Machines Corp. (Nyse: IBM) – Although significantly larger than DecisionPoint, IBM seeks to deliver the same type of value proposition to the market.  Their level of success varies. As with any very large organization, enterprise wireless and mobile computing are just one of a large set of competencies and services they advertise to the marketplace.

 
(c)
Peak Technologies, Inc. – Maryland based Peak is an integrator of AIDC equipment including wireless RF, network and ERP integration solutions, enterprise printing, bar code scanning, mobile computing, and terminal and software technologies.  Peak was originally built up by current DecisionPoint executives, CEO Nicholas Toms and CFO Donald Rowley, who then sold the company to Moore Corporation (now RR Donnelley) in 1997.  RR Donnelley, as part of its strategy to focus on commercial printing, sold Peak to Platinum Equities in December 2005.  Peak sales for 2005 were about US$240 million but, after the disposal of certain business units during 2006, are estimated to be somewhat in excess of US$100 million, currently.

 
(d)
Catalyst International, Inc. – Catalyst is a US$50 million revenues supplier of supply chain solutions on multiple technology platforms. It is a certified SAP Services Provider, including wireless enabling of SAP applications. The company claims 12,000 customers in 20 countries including Boeing, Abbott Laboratories and Sony Corporation. Catalyst is wholly owned by CDC Corporation (Nasdaq: CHINA), a NASDAQ traded company.

 
- 64 -

 

 
(e)
Stratix, Inc. – Georgia-based Stratix is a substantial competitor of DecisionPoint, especially in the South Eastern part of the US. Stratix had estimated revenues of US$100 million in 2009 which are primarily from large, nationally based Tier-1 customers. Their customer base is well balanced around retailers, distributors, major commercial airlines and general manufacturers.

 
(f)
Miles Technologies Inc. – Headquartered in Lake Zurich, IL, Miles is a service oriented reseller of bar code printers, wireless data collection devices, RFID and consumables.  Miles is considered to be a niche player in the upper Midwest.

 
(g)
Acsis, Inc. – Acsis is a SAP-certified global enterprise software company that automates supply chain operations with a platform, Data-Link Enterprise, which interfaces with multiple types of equipment on the manufacturing/distribution floor, such as barcode and RFID readers.  Acsis is now part of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (Nyse: SFE), a NYSE traded company.

 
(h)
InfoLogix, Inc. (Nasdaq: IFLG) – The company is a NASDAQ traded company and a supplier of enterprise mobility solutions that is primarily focused on the hospital systems marketplace.

 
(i)
Barcoding, Inc. – Helps organizations streamline their operations with automatic identification and data collection systems (AIDC). Clients include manufacturing, distribution, healthcare and warehousing enterprises, as well as state, local and federal agencies.  Based in Baltimore, Maryland, they have eleven regional offices throughout North America, as well as representation in Europe and Australia.

Employees

As of October 2010, DecisionPoint had a total of 63 full time and one part time employees. DecisionPoint has not experienced any work disruptions or stoppages and it considers relations with its employees to be good.

Headquarters and Facilities

As of October 2010, DecisionPoint’s corporate headquarters, sales operations including sales administration, software development, depot operation, and the financial management of DecisionPoint is located in Foothill Ranch, California where DecisionPoint leases 7,500 square feet. In Parsippany, New Jersey DecisionPoint leases 3,600 square feet of commercial office space as an ancillary administration office. In addition, DecisionPoint leases 3,000 square feet in Shelton, Connecticut for East coast sales operations and software development, and an additional 4,000 square feet in Middlesex, New Jersey for East coast depot operations. These facilities are suitable for DecisionPoint’s purposes and are expected to accommodate its needs for the foreseeable future.

Dividend Policy

Common Stock – The holders of DecisionPoint Shares are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by DecisionPoint Board out of funds legally available for distribution. Any such dividends may be paid in cash, property or DecisionPoint Shares.

Preferred Stock – The holders of the DecisionPoint Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by DecisionPoint Board, dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the stated value (i.e. US$80 for each such DecisionPoint Preferred Shares). Dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue on each share of the outstanding DecisionPoint Preferred Shares from the date of its issue.

 
- 65 -

 

DecisionPoint has not paid any dividends since DecisionPoint’s inception, and it is not likely that any dividends on DecisionPoint Shares will be declared in the foreseeable future. Any dividends will be subject to the discretion of DecisionPoint Board, and will depend upon, among other things, its operating and financial condition and its capital requirements and general business conditions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the results of operations of DecisionPoint as at and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of DecisionPoint for such periods, together with the accompanying notes, included elsewhere in this Circular.

The following discussion excludes MergerCo, which is being amalgamated with DecisionPoint to form the Amalgamated Corporation.  MergerCo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comamtech and was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario on October 8, 2010.  MergerCo is being excluded from the following discussion because it has no revenue or expenses in the relevant periods and its assets and liabilities are not material to the balance sheet of DecisionPont.

Overview

DecisionPoint is an enterprise mobility systems integrator that sells and installs mobile computing and wireless systems that are used both within a company’s facilities in conjunction with wireless networks and in the field using carrier-based wireless networks. These systems generally include mobile computers, mobile application software, and related data capture equipment including bar code scanners and RFID. As an integral part of the systems that DecisionPoint deploys, it provides professional services, proprietary and third party software and software customization. DecisionPoint delivers to its customers the ability to make better, faster, and more accurate business decisions by implementing industry-specific, enterprise wireless and mobile computing systems for their front-line employees and fully integrating them into their back office systems.

DecisionPoint provides customers with everything they need through the process of achieving their enterprise mobility goals, starting with the planning of their systems, to the design and build stage, to the deployment and support stage, and finally to achieving their projected return on investment.  DecisionPoint’s business designs, sells, installs and services voice and data communications products and systems for private networks and wireless broadband systems to a wide range of enterprise markets, including retail, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, as well as other commercial customers. DecisionPoint provides a complete line of deployment and integration services, including site surveys, equipment configuration and staging, system installation, depot services, software support, training programs and project management.

DecisionPoint has developed an “ecosystem” of partners which it brings to every customer situation. The standout partner in this ecosystem is the Motorola Enterprise Mobility Division, for whom DecisionPoint is consistently are rated one of the nation’s top Value Added Resellers.  DecisionPoint also partners with other top equipment and software suppliers such as Zebra Technologies Corporation, Datamax - O’Neil  — a unit of the Dover Corporation, in addition to a host of specialized independent software vendors such as AirVersent, Antenna Software, GlobalBay, Mobileframe, Syclo and Wavelink.

Over the last several years, DecisionPoint has been repositioning itself to focus more on providing higher margin, customer-driven, mobile wireless and RFID solutions rather than providing simply hardware and customized software as a reseller. This is the key to increasing its profitability and is also a major point of differentiation from its competitors.

Transportation and logistics, and field services such as repair and maintenance, delivery and inspections are now emerging as great new markets. This is primarily due to the arrival of robust, national wireless carrier networks that can reach a field-based mobile worker almost anywhere they are. The general term for this new group of markets is referred to as “Field Mobility”. Although it cuts across multiple industries and business applications, it has one common characteristic: goods are tracked or services are being performed by field-based workforces, not workers operating in a single location under one roof. We believe that the growth of Field Mobility-based markets will be very significant over the next several years, and we have created a dedicated specialty business practice to focus on it. This practice was established in 2008, with the express purpose of replicating DecisionPoint’s historical success with a new set of customers and challenges together with a new ecosystem of partners which includes the four major wireless carriers of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. The carriers not only bring potential new opportunities to DecisionPoint but also have attractive programs which allow it to earn additional revenue from them when it facilitates service of mobile computers and devices on their networks.

Recent business developments during 2010

During the first quarter of 2010, DecisionPoint introduced its cutting edge self-service solution utilizing advanced Motorola technology known as “The Retail Mobile App Suite”. These mobile applications were designed for retail stores to increase the productivity of store operations and deliver unsurpassed customer service by accelerating checkout while providing personalized service. In June 2010 DecisionPoint launched a branded solution for couriers – MobileArc, which is designed to enhance delivery of services by incorporating mobile computing and wireless technologies into their field-service workforce.

In the first quarter of 2010, DecisionPoint received a significant contract to provide an integrated and customized tracking solution for a logistics services company. In addition, DecisionPoint was chosen to design, implement and support an asset tracking system for a rewards program company in the waste management business. This company has operations in numerous states and employs RFID technology as part of their offering to their end-users.

During the third quarter of 2010, DecisionPoint completed the deployment of over 11,000 devices for a logistics service company that is being managed by DecisionPoint’s MobileCare mobile device service offering. This contract was awarded during the first quarter of 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical Estimates

DecisionPoint’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has utilized available information, including DecisionPoint’s past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of DecisionPoint’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. DecisionPoint believes that the following critical accounting policies involve a high degree of judgment and estimation.

Accounts Receivable

DecisionPoint has policies and procedures for reviewing and granting credit to all customer accounts, including:

 
(a)
Credit reviews of all new customer accounts;

 
(b)
Ongoing credit evaluations of current customers;

 
- 68 -

 

 
(c)
Credit limits and payment terms based on available credit information;

 
(d)
Adjustments to credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness; and

 
(e)
An active collection effort by regional credit functions, reporting directly to the corporate financial officers.

DecisionPoint reserves for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and specific customer collection issues. Over the last two years ending December 31, 2009, accounts receivable reserves varied from 3.6% to 6.7% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable reserves as of December 31, 2009, were US$332,000, or 3.6% of the balance due. Accounts receivable reserves as of September 30, 2010, were US$315,000, or 3.0% of the balance due. DecisionPoint believes its reserve level is appropriate considering the quality of the portfolio as of September 30, 2010. While credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, DecisionPoint cannot guarantee that DecisionPoint’s credit loss experience will continue to be consistent with historical experience due to the current economic recession.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. DecisionPoint periodically reviews its inventories and makes provisions as necessary for estimated obsolete and slow-moving goods. DecisionPoint marks down inventory to an amount equal to the difference between cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demands, selling prices and market conditions. The creation of such provisions results in a write-down of inventory to net realizable value and a charge to cost of sales.

Deferred Tax Asset

The increase of current deferred income tax assets is attributable to the release of a portion of the valuation allowance recorded in the prior periods. In the opinion of management, it is more likely than not the US$385,000 as of December 31, 2010 of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

DecisionPoint has net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income of $3.4 million which began to expire in 2026. Based on the application of a more likely than not realization criteria, DecisionPoint has not recognized the tax benefit of these in its financial statements in the form of recognized deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets included in the balance sheets represent estimates of taxes that are recoverable based on carry-back ability and tax provisions or benefits included in the income statements relate to adjustments of deferred tax balances based on the most recent information available including the current year tax return filings.

Warrant Liability

DecisionPoint accounts for its warrant issued pursuant to the June 2009 subordinated convertible debt in accordance with the guidance on Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which provides that DecisionPoint classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period.  This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income or expense. The fair value of warrants issued by DecisionPoint, in connection with private placements of securities, has been estimated by management in the absence of a readily ascertainable market value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated value may differ significantly from the fair value that would have been used had a ready market for the warrants existed, and the difference could be material.

Revenue recognition

Revenues are generated through product sales, warranty and maintenance agreements, software customization, and professional services. Product sales are recognized when the following criteria are met (1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exits; (2) delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer, which generally happens at the point of shipment provided that no significant obligations remain; (3) the price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. DecisionPoint generates revenues from the sale of extended warranties on wireless and mobile hardware and systems. Revenue related to extended warranty and service contracts is recorded as unearned revenue and is recognized over the life of the contract and DecisionPoint may be liable to refund a customer for amounts paid in certain circumstances.

DecisionPoint also generates revenue from software customization and professional services on either a fee-for-service or fixed fee basis. Revenue from software customization and professional services that is contracted as fee-for-service, also referred to as per-diem billing, is recognized in the period in which the services are performed or delivered. Fixed fee services are accounted for in conformity with either the percentage-of-completion or the completed-contract method. Revenues recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, are measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date, primarily labor costs, to total costs estimated to be incurred for each contract. Management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

Stock-based compensation

DecisionPoint records the fair value of stock-based payments as an expense in its consolidated financial statements. DecisionPoint determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This valuation model requires DecisionPoint to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation. These variables and assumptions include the weighted-average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding, the volatility of DecisionPoint’s common stock, the risk-free interest rate and the estimated rate of forfeitures of unvested stock options. Additional information on the variables and assumptions used in DecisionPoint’s stock-based compensation are described in the accompanying notes to DecisionPoint’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Circular.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

The following discussion of DecisionPoint’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the unaudited results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2009.  These should be read in conjunction with DecisionPoint’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Circular.

Revenues were US$40.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to US$35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of US$5.5 million or 15.7%.  This improvement is due in part from improved product availability from DecisionPoint’s principal vendor and slightly improving economic conditions, as well as from DecisionPoint’s continued emphasis on its marketing and sales efforts. DecisionPoint experienced increases in traditional mobility solutions revenue which has historically generated lower gross margins, and DecisionPoint’s field mobility solutions offerings have continued to grow.

Cost of sales was US$33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to US$28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of US$4.9 million or 17.3%.  DecisionPoint’s gross profit was US$7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to US$6.9 million for the same period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of US$0.6 million or 9.3%.

 
- 70 -

 

DecisionPoint’s gross margin has decreased to 18.4% in 2010, from 19.5% in the comparable period of 2009. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to increased traditional mobility solutions due to improving economic conditions and product availability. Although DecisionPoint has seen gradual improvement in product availability in the second half of 2010, it expects product availability issues to continue although on a decreasing basis through early 2011. The improvement in product availability had a bigger impact on DecisionPoint’s traditional mobility solutions, while product shortages continued to impact DecisionPoint’s higher margin solutions because limited product availability delayed delivery of its higher margin professional services.

DecisionPoint’s selling, general and administrative expenses were US$7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to US$6.1 million for the same period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of US$1.2 million or 20.3%. The increase in the current period was due to additional costs associated with being a public company which were not significant in the same period of 2009.  DecisionPoint incurred approximately US$0.7 million of investor relations and other non-cash compensation costs for services provided to DecisionPoint for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which was immaterial for the same period of 2009. Additionally, DecisionPoint has experienced a significant increase in legal and accounting expenses of approximately US$0.5 million in the current period directly related to being a private company.

Other expenses were US$2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to US$1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, consists primarily of interest expense related to DecisionPoint’s line of credit and subordinated debt, which was US$1.4 million as compared to US$0.8 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense was the result of the issuance of the US$250,000 of subordinated note at the end of September 2009 and the US$2.5 million of subordinated notes in December 2009. Other expense increased by US$0.6 million from US$0.2 in the same period due to the loss from the change in the fair value of a warrant liability and potential acquisition related costs during the period. Non-recurring expenses for investment banking, legal and accounting fees related to a review of a potential acquisition that they are no longer pursuing at this time and related financing was US$0.8 million for the period ending September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash flow

The recent and on-going financial and credit crisis has reduced credit availability and liquidity for many companies. Under these difficult circumstances DecisionPoint has succeeded in being able to increase its revenue by approximately 16%. The reduction in DecisionPoint’s gross margins was primarily due to an unexpected shortage of product availability from certain of its principal vendors in the beginning of the year. Product availability has improved in the current period and along with improving economic conditions has had the effect of increasing DecisionPoint’s traditional mobility solutions revenue which has historically generated lower gross margins. DecisionPoint believes that DecisionPoint’s continued strategic shift to higher margin field mobility solutions with additional software and service revenues along with tighter cost control will sustain this through this challenging period. As a matter of course, DecisionPoint does not maintain significant cash balances on hand since it is financed by a line of credit. Typically, any excess cash is automatically applied to the then outstanding line of credit balance.  As long as it continues to generate revenues, DecisionPoint is permitted to draw down on its line of credit to fund normal working capital needs. As such, DecisionPoint anticipates that it will have more than sufficient borrowing capacity to continue its operations in the normal course of business unless unforeseeable material economic events occur that are beyond its control.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, DecisionPoint had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$0.2 million and US$0.1 million, respectively. DecisionPoint has used, and plan to use, such cash for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

As of September 30, 2010, DecisionPoint had negative working capital of US$9.5 million and total stockholders’ deficit of US$4.4 million. Included in current liabilities is unearned revenue of US$6.6 million, which reflects services that are to be performed in future periods but that have been paid and/or accrued for and therefore, do not generally represent additional future cash outlay requirements. Included in current assets are deferred costs of US$4.3 million which reflect costs paid for third party extended maintenance services that are being amortized over their respective service periods. The net change in the unearned revenue, offset by the deferred costs, will provide a benefit in future periods as the amounts convert to realized revenue.

DecisionPoint has an US$8.5 million line of credit, which provides for borrowings based upon eligible accounts receivable. Interest accrues at prime plus 4%, with a potential interest rate reduction of 0.50% based on future profitability. The amounts outstanding under the line of credit at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, were approximately US$4.3 million with interest accruing at 8%, and US$2.6 million with interest accruing at 8%, respectively. The line of credit has a tangible net worth financial covenant and other non-financial covenants with which DecisionPoint has been in compliance. Availability under this line of credit was approximately US$3.8 million and US$4.3 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

DecisionPoint believes that cash on hand, plus amounts anticipated to be generated from operations and from other potential financing transactions, whether from issuing additional long term debt or the sale of equity securities through a private placement, as well as borrowings available under DecisionPoint’s line of credit, will be sufficient to support its operations through September 30, 2011. If DecisionPoint is not able to raise funds through private placements, it may choose to modify DecisionPoint’s growth plans to the extent of available funding, if any, and further reduce its selling, general and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was US$1.3 million, primarily due to a positive net change of non-cash related expenses totalling approximately US$1.4 million, a US$1.4 million increase in accounts receivable, which was offset by net increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable of US$2.1 million and a US$1.0 million decrease in unearned revenue. Net cash provided by financing activities was US$1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily from the increase in DecisionPoint’s outstanding line of credit.  The line of credit increase of US$1.7 million, was offset by the complete payoff and conversion of the US$250,000 subordinated note from June 2009, and the remaining outstanding 2007 Bridge note balance of US$85,000. Additionally, DecisionPoint paid down US$229,000 of the holding share liability and US$779,000 of subordinated notes from December 2009. Additional funds from investing activities came from certain of DecisionPoint’s officers and directors whom exercised stock options for a total of US$611,000 during the third quarter. The proceeds were used to pay down the related party interest and payable at September 30, 2010.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was US$0.5 million, primarily due to the increase in net changes in working capital of US$0.6 million and non-cash related expense totalling approximately US$0.2 million. Net cash used in financing activities was US$0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a net reduction in the amount outstanding debt during the period. Additionally during this period, US$2.8 million of subordinated convertible debt was converted into common shares, DecisionPoint issued US$250,000 in a convertible subordinated note, DecisionPoint sold 560 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for US$560,000 and US$415,000 of the 2007 Bridge note principal was converted into 415 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2010.

Employees

As of September 30, 2010, DecisionPoint had a total of 63 full time employees and 1 part time non-union employee. DecisionPoint has not experienced any work disruptions or stoppages and it consider relations with its employees to be good.

Inflation

DecisionPoint does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its business or operating results during the periods presented.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008

Revenues were US$48.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to US$53.3 million for the same period ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of US$5.0 million or 9.4%. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the weakened economic conditions in the U.S. which had begun in the latter half of 2008, and continued into and throughout 2009. A reduction of US$5.4 million in traditional workforce mobility solutions revenue has been partially offset by an increase in DecisionPoint’s field mobility solutions of US$0.2 million and consumable revenue of US$0.2 million.

Cost of sales were US$38.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to US$43.2 million for the same period ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of US$4.6 million or 10.8%.  DecisionPoint’s gross profit was US$9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to US$10.1 million for the same period ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of US$0.4 million or 3.5%.  Although the actual dollar amount of gross profit is lower in the 2009 period, DecisionPoint’s realized gross margin has increased to 20.2% in 2009, above the 18.9% in the comparable period of 2008.  This improvement is directly due to the increased emphasis on cost control of the products and services that DecisionPoint resells as well as improved utilization and efficiency of DecisionPoint’s professional services personnel and related costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were US$8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to US$9.1 million for the same period ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of US$1.2 million or 12.9%. The decrease in the year ended December 31, 2009, was the result of tighter cost management and lower commission expense associated with lower revenues combined with lower salaries and related travel expenses of approximately US$1.0 million. Finance and administration expenses were lower due to reduced bad debt expense and insurance expense.

Interest expense, which is related to DecisionPoint’s line of credit and subordinated debt, was US$1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to US$1.3 million for the same period ended December 31, 2008. The US$0.2 million decrease in interest expense was the result of lower interest charges and lower amounts borrowed on DecisionPoint’s line of credit and the conversion of US$2.8 million of subordinated debt into equity in June 2009. The conversion of debt to equity concurrent with the Merger was offset by an additional US$2.5 million subordinated debt financing during December 2009.

The change in other expense to US$0.3 million from US$0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, consists primarily of expenses related to the reverse merger transaction in which DecisionPoint initially started incurring during 2008. Also, in 2008, DecisionPoint wrote-off an investment in a potential acquisition that did not materialize in the amount of US$0.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash flow

The recent and on-going financial and credit crisis has reduced credit availability and liquidity for many companies. DecisionPoint saw its revenue decrease approximately 9.4%, due to the weakened economic conditions in the U.S. which have continued into and throughout 2009. DecisionPoint has been able to improve its gross margins and reduce its selling, general and administrative expenses which have resulted in improved operating income. DecisionPoint believes that its strategic shift to higher margin mobility solutions with additional software and service revenues along with tighter cost control will sustain it through this challenging period. As a matter of course, DecisionPoint does not maintain significant cash balances on hand since it is financed by a line of credit. Typically, any excess cash is automatically applied to the then outstanding line of credit balance. As long as it continues to generate revenues, DecisionPoint is permitted to draw down on its line of credit to fund normal working capital needs. As such, DecisionPoint anticipates that it will have more than sufficient borrowing capacity to continue its operations in the normal course of business unless unforeseeable material economic events occur that are beyond its control.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, DecisionPoint had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$0.1 million and US$0.9 million, respectively. DecisionPoint has used, and plan to use, such cash for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

As of December 31, 2009, DecisionPoint had negative working capital of US$7.1 million and total stockholders’ deficit of US$3.5 million. As of December 31, 2008, DecisionPoint had negative working capital of US$10.5 million and total stockholders’ deficit of US$8.6 million. Included in current liabilities is unearned revenue of US$7.6 million, which reflects services that are to be performed in future periods but that have been paid and/or accrued for and therefore, do not generally represent additional future cash outlay requirements. Included in current assets are deferred costs of US$4.3 million which reflect costs paid for third party extended maintenance services that are being amortized over their respective service periods. The increase in the unearned revenue, offset by the deferred costs, will provide a benefit in future periods as the amounts convert to realized revenue.

In December 2006, pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”), DecisionPoint obtained a US$6.5 million line of credit, which provides for borrowings based upon eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, interest accrues at Prime plus 2.5% with an interest rate reduction of 0.75% based on future profitability.  The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of DecisionPoint’s assets and matured in December 2008, at which time it was amended to extend the maturity date to March 2009, in exchange for an extension fee of US$12,185.

In March 2009, pursuant to an Amendment to the Loan Agreement (“Amendment”) the line of credit was renewed for an additional two year period and the amount available for borrowing was increased to US$8.5 million. Pursuant to the Amendment, the rate at which interest accrues increased to Prime plus 4%, with a potential interest rate reduction of 0.50% based on future profitability. The Amendment also modified the definition of “prime rate” to a rate not less than 4% on any day. DecisionPoint paid an annual renewal fee of US$85,000. The amounts outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2009 and 2008, were approximately US$2.6 million with interest accruing at 8%, and US$3.4 million with interest accruing at 10.25%, respectively. The line of credit has a tangible net worth financial covenant and other non-financial covenants with which DecisionPoint has been in compliance. Availability under this line of credit was approximately US$4.3 million and US$1.6 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

DecisionPoint believes that cash on hand, plus amounts anticipated to be generated from operations and from other contemplated financing transactions, whether from issuing additional long term debt or the sale of equity securities through a private placement, as well as borrowings available under its line of credit, will be sufficient to support its operations through December 2010. If DecisionPoint is not able to raise funds through private placements, it may choose to modify its growth plans to the extent of available funding, if any, and further reduce its selling, general and administrative expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was US$1.4 million, primarily due to a US$0.8 million increase in accounts receivable, a decrease in inventory of US$1.4 million, a US$0.5 million reduction in accrued expenses, a reduction in accounts payable of US$0.5 million and net change in DecisionPoint’s unearned revenue of an additional US$0.5 million. All of these offset DecisionPoint’s net income of US$0.3 million in the current year. Net cash provided by financing activities was US$0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily from the sale of US$2.5 million of subordinated debt in December 2009.

 During the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was US$2.0 million, primarily due to the increase in net changes in working capital, and more specifically, the net change in accounts receivable of US$3.7 million. All of which offset DecisionPoint’s net loss of US$0.9 million for the year. Net cash used in financing activities was US$1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to a net reduction in the amount outstanding on DecisionPoint’s line of credit and bank term loan during the period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2009.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

Revenues were US$53.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to US$51.5 million for the period December 31, 2007, an increase of US$1.8 million or 3.5%. The increase in revenue was due to the continued growth in enterprise mobility and RFID systems in the supply chain and the geographical expansion of DecisionPoint.

Cost of sales was US$43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to US$42.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of US$0.9 million or 2.2%. DecisionPoint’s gross profit was US$10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to US$9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of US$0.9 million or 10.0%, resulting in a gross margin of 18.9% in 2008, up significantly from 17.8% in 2007. This is a direct result from DecisionPoint’s concerted effort to change its revenue mix toward higher margin professional services and software sales as opposed to the historically lower margin hardware only sales.

DecisionPoint’s selling, general and administrative expenses were US$9.1 million for the year ended December 31 2008, compared to US$9.0 million for year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of US$0.1 million or 1.1%. The increase in 2008 was the result of expanding DecisionPoint’s sales and marketing resources to take advantage of the unexpected availability of certain highly qualified individuals within the industry, additional finance and administrative personnel and the additional costs of preparing for transitioning from a private to public company.

DecisionPoint’s operating income was US$1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with operating income of US$0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an improvement of approximately US$0.8 million.

Other expense was US$0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared with US$3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of approximately US$2.6 million. Within other expense, legal expense decreased from US$1.3 million to US$0, mainly due to the resolution of the lawsuit against a competitor and certain of its executives. In 2008, DecisionPoint had transaction expenses of US$0.6 million related to costs of the planned merger and offering. In 2007, the transaction related expenses were US$0.2 million, approximately.

 
- 75 -

 

DecisionPoint’s interest expense, which is derived from interest paid on its bank credit facility and subordinated debt, was US$1.2 million for both years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Although the interest expense was consistent in both years, the result was a combination of lower effective interest rates and offset by higher total borrowings.

The net ESOP contribution was US$0.1 million for both years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, DecisionPoint had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$0.9 million and US$0.6 million, respectively. DecisionPoint has used such cash for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

Cash Flows

During the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash provided from operating activities was US$2.0 million, primarily due to the positive net changes in working capital.  Net cash used in financing activities was US$1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, including a decrease in senior bank debt of US$0.6 and a net decrease of US$0.9 million in DecisionPoint’s revolving credit facility. Cash from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, was from the write-off of an investment in a potential acquisition that did not occur.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2008.

Description of Share Capital

DecisionPoint’s authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, US$0.001 par value per share, of which 36,749,286 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2010, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, US$0.001 par value per share.  As of December 31, 2010 there were 10,000 shares designated as Cumulative Convertible Series A, of which 975 shares were issued and outstanding and 10,000 shares designated as Cumulative Convertible Series B, of which 380 shares were issued and outstanding.

In 2009, the DecisionPoint Board and its shareholders approved an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 8, 2009, to change the terms of the authorized shares of preferred stock to make the authorized shares “blank check” preferred stock and to set the number of authorized shares of preferred stock at 10,000,000.

On December 14, 2010, DecisionPoint issued and sold 380 shares of its newly-designated Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) to two investors for a cash purchase price of $380,000, which is equal to the stated value of $1,000 per share (“Stated Value”).

The Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the DecisionPoint Board, out of any funds and assets of the Corporation legally available, dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the Stated Value. Dividends shall be cumulative.  Upon liquidation of DecisionPoint, holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid, prior to any distribution to any holders of common stock, or any other class or series of stock issued hereafter or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, an amount equal to Stated Value plus the amount of unpaid dividends. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may be convertible, at the option of the holder, into 2,500 shares of common stock, equal to a conversion rate of $0.40, subject to adjustment, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Series B Preferred Stock. Until conversion, the Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights other than with respect to matters that may adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.

The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by the DecisionPoint Board out of funds legally available for distribution.  Any such dividends may be paid in cash, property or shares of common stock.  The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the DecisionPoint Board, dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the stated value (i.e. US$80 a share).  Dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue on each share of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock from the date of its issue. DecisionPoint has not paid any dividends since inception, and it is not likely that any dividends on the common stock will be declared in the foreseeable future. Any dividends will be subject to the discretion of the DecisionPoint Board, and will depend upon, among other things, DecisionPoint’s operating and financial condition and DecisionPoint’s capital requirements and general business conditions.

 Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record. There are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. With respect to any matter, other than the election of directors or a matter for which the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion of the shares entitled to vote is required by Delaware General Corporate Law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on that matter and represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders at which a majority is present shall be required to take action. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting of shareholders at which a majority is present. Thus the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of DecisionPoint’s board of directors if they choose to do so.

 The holders of common stock have no pre-emptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights. Upon DecisionPoint’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of DecisionPoint’s common stock are entitled to receive assets pro rata (subject to rights of holders of Series A Preferred Shares).

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

In January 2004, DecisionPoint established the 2004 Incentive and Non-Incentive Stock Option Plan (“2004 Plan”) which was originally adopted by the board of directors of DecisionPoint Group and was assumed by DecisionPoint on June 18, 2009, in connection with the Merger. The 2004 Plan authorized 5,385 shares of common stock for issuance of which 5,357 had been granted. On June 18, 2009, the 2004 Plan was amended and each share of common stock then subject to the 2004 Plan was substituted with 1224.3224 shares of common stock, for an aggregate of 6,592,976 shares authorized and 6,558,097 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2009. Under the 2004 Plan, common stock incentives may be granted to officers, employees, directors, consultants, and advisors. Incentives under the 2004 Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of the following forms: (a) incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options; (b) stock appreciation rights (c) stock awards; (d) restricted stock and (e) performance shares.

In June 2009, DecisionPoint established the DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan (“2009 Plan”) to retain directors, executives and selected employees and consultants and reward them for making contributions to DecisionPoint’s success. These objectives are accomplished by making long-term incentive awards under the 2009 Plan in the form of options, stock awards and restricted stock purchase offers. The total number of common shares which may be purchased or granted under the 2009 Plan shall not exceed 1,000,000. There were no options granted under the 2009 Plan as of December 31, 2009.

The 2004 and 2009 Plans, (collectively, the “Plans”) are administered by DecisionPoint’s board of directors , or a committee appointed by the board of directors, which determines recipients and types of awards to be granted, including the number of shares subject to the awards, the exercise price and the vesting schedule.  The total number of shares authorized under the Plans is 7,592,976.  The term of stock options granted under the Plans cannot exceed ten years.  Options shall not have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of DecisionPoint’s common stock on the grant date, and generally vest over a period of five years.  If the individual possesses more than ten percent of the combined voting power of all classes of DecisionPoint’s stock, the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market of a share of common stock on the date of grant.

RIGHT TO DISSENT

The following is only a summary of the rights of a Dissenting Shareholder with respect to the continuance and the OBCA, which are technical and complex. A copy of section 185 of the OBCA is annexed as Schedule H to this Circular. It is recommended that any Shareholder wishing to exercise their Dissent Right seek legal advice as the failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the OBCA may result in the loss or unavailability of their Dissent Right.

 
- 88 -

 

Pursuant to section 185(1) of the OBCA, Shareholders have the right to dissent from the Continuance Resolution in the manner provided in section 185 of the OBCA, with respect to the timing for providing a Dissent Notice to the Continuance Resolution. Section 185 of the OBCA is reprinted in its entirety as Schedule H to this Circular. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of section 185 of the OBCA. The execution or exercise of a proxy does not constitute a written objection for the purpose of subsection 185(6) of the OBCA.

A Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled, in the event the Continuance becomes effective, to be paid by Comamtech the fair value of all, but not less than all of the Comamtech Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder, determined as at the close of business on the last Business Day before the Continuance Resolution is adopted. There can be no assurance that such fair value will be greater than or equivalent to the consideration offered to Shareholders under the Arrangement.

A Shareholder may exercise the right to dissent only in respect of the Comamtech Shares that are registered in that Shareholder’s name. In many cases, Comamtech Shares beneficially owned by a Holder Non-Registered Holder are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Comamtech Shares (such as, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, or trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS) of which an intermediary is a participant. Accordingly, a Non-Registered Holder will not be entitled to exercise the Dissent Right directly (unless the Comamtech Shares are re-registered in the Non-Registered Holder’s name). A Non-Registered Holder who wishes to exercise their Dissent Right should immediately contact the intermediary with whom the Non-Registered Holder deals in respect of its Comamtech Shares and either:

 
(a)
instruct the intermediary to exercise the Dissent Right on the Non-Registered Holder’s behalf (which, if the Comamtech Shares are registered in the name of CDS or other clearing agency, would require that the Comamtech Shares first be re-registered in the name of the intermediary); or

 
(b)
instruct the intermediary to request that the Comamtech Shares be registered in the name of the Non-Registered Holder, in which case such holder would have to exercise the Dissent Right directly (that is, the intermediary would not be exercising the Dissent Right on such holder’s behalf).

The filing of a Dissent Notice does not deprive a Registered Holder of the right to vote at the Meeting. However, a Registered Holder who has submitted a Dissent Notice and who votes in favour of the Continuance Resolution will no longer be considered a Dissenting Shareholder with respect to the Comamtech Shares voted in favour of the Continuance Resolution. A vote against the Continuance Resolution or an abstention will not constitute a Dissent Notice, but a Registered Holder need not vote its Comamtech Shares, against the Continuance Resolution in order to dissent. Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxy holder to vote in favour of the Continuance Resolution does not constitute a Dissent Notice. However, any proxy granted by a Registered Holder who intends to dissent, other than a proxy that instructs the proxy holder to vote against the Continuance Resolution, should be validly revoked in order to prevent the proxy holder from voting such Comamtech Shares in favour of the Continuance Resolution and thereby causing the Registered Holder to forfeit its Dissent Right.

Comamtech is required, within ten days after the adoption of the Continuance Resolution, to notify each Dissenting Shareholder that the Continuance Resolution has been adopted, but such notice is not required to be sent to any Shareholder who voted for the Continuance Resolution or who has withdrawn such Shareholder’s Dissent Notice.

 
- 89 -

 

A Dissenting Shareholder must, within 20 days after receipt of notice that the Continuance Resolution has been adopted or, if the Dissenting Shareholder does not receive such notice, within 20 days after the Dissenting Shareholder learns that the Continuance Resolution has been adopted, send to Comamtech a written notice (a “Payment Demand”) containing the Dissenting Shareholder’s name and address, the number of Comamtech Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder dissented, and a demand for payment of the fair value of such Comamtech Shares. Within 30 days after sending a Payment Demand, the Dissenting Shareholder must send to Comamtech’s Transfer Agent, Equity Transfer & Trust Company, located at 200 University Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1, attention to: Corporate Actions, the share certificates representing the Comamtech Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder has dissented. A Dissenting Shareholder who fails to send the share certificates representing the Comamtech Shares within the appropriate time frame in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder has dissented forfeits such Dissenting Shareholder’s Dissent Right. Comamtech or its Transfer Agent will endorse on share certificates received from a Dissenting Shareholder a notice that the holder is a Dissenting Shareholder and will forthwith return the share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder.

Upon filing a Dissent Notice that is not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the last Business Day before the Continuance Resolution is approved, provided that the Final Order is granted and not appealed or, if appealed, that such appeal is withdrawn or denied, and the Arrangement becomes effective, a Dissenting Shareholder will cease to have any rights as a Shareholder, other than the right to be paid the fair value of its Comamtech Shares, unless:

 
(a)
the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Payment Demand before Comamtech makes a written offer to pay (the “Offer to Pay”);

 
(b)
Comamtech fails to make a timely Offer to Pay to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its Payment Demand; or

 
(c)
the Board of Directors revokes the Continuance Resolution,

in all of which cases the Dissenting Shareholder’s rights as a Shareholder will be reinstated, and in the case of items (a) and (b), if the Continuance becomes effective, such Dissenting Shareholder’s Comamtech Shares will be subject to the Continuance.

In addition, Registered Holders who duly exercise their Dissent Right and who: (i) are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid fair value for their Comamtech Shares will be deemed to have transferred their Comamtech Shares to Comamtech as at the Effective Time of the Continuance; or (ii) are ultimately determined not to be entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Comamtech Shares will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as any non-dissenting Shareholder in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. The Comamtech Shares of Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value of their Comamtech Shares will be surrendered for cancellation.  For greater certainty, in no case shall Comamtech, the depositary, the Transfer Agent or any other person be required to recognize the Dissenting Shareholder as a Shareholder at and after the Effective Time, and the name of such Dissenting Shareholder shall be deleted from the register of Shareholders as of the Effective Date.

Comamtech is required, no later than seven days after the later of the Effective Date or the date on which it received the Payment Demand of a Dissenting Shareholder, to send to each Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a Payment Demand to it, an Offer to Pay for its Comamtech Shares in an amount considered by the Board of Directors to be the fair value thereof, accompanied by a statement showing the manner in which the fair value was determined. Every Offer to Pay must be on the same terms. The amount specified in the Offer to Pay which has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder will be paid by Comamtech within ten days after the acceptance by the Dissenting Shareholder of the Offer to Pay, but any such Offer to Pay lapses if Comamtech does not receive an acceptance thereof within 30 days after the Offer to Pay has been made.

 
- 90 -

 

If Comamtech fails to make an Offer to Pay or if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to accept an Offer to Pay that has been made, Comamtech may, within 50 days after the Effective Date or within such further period as the Court may allow, apply to the Court to fix a fair value for the Comamtech Shares of Dissenting Shareholders.

If Comamtech fails to apply to the Court, a Dissenting Shareholder may apply to the Court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as the Court may allow. A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in such an application.  If Comamtech fails to comply with the requirements to send an Offer to Pay, the costs of such application by a Dissenting Shareholder are to be borne by Comamtech unless the Court orders otherwise.

Upon an application to the Court, all Dissenting Shareholders who have not accepted Comamtech’s Offer to Pay will be joined as parties and bound by the decision of the Court, and Comamtech will be required to notify each affected Dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of the Dissenting Shareholder’s right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Upon any such application to the Court, the Court may determine whether any person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the Court will then fix a fair value for the Comamtech Shares, as the case may be, of all Dissenting Shareholders. The final order of the Court will be rendered against Comamtech in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder and for the amount of the fair value of such Dissenting Shareholder’s Comamtech Shares as fixed by the Court. The Court may, in its discretion, allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder from the Effective Date until the date of payment.

Registered Holders who are considering exercising their Dissent Right should be aware that there can be no assurance that the fair value of their Comamtech Shares as determined under the applicable provisions of the OBCA will be more than or equal to the consideration offered under the Arrangement.  In addition, any judicial determination of fair value will result in delay of receipt by a Dissenting Shareholder of consideration of such Dissenting Shareholder’s Comamtech Shares.

It is a condition to the completion of the Arrangement that Dissent Rights shall not have been exercised (and not withdrawn) by Registered Holders of more than 10% of Comamtech Shares in respect of the Continuation Resolution. See “Arrangement Agreement – Mutual Conditions Precedent”.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to all other information and qualifications set forth in this Circular, Shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors relating to the Arrangement before deciding to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the Arrangement. In addition to the risk factors relating to the Arrangement set out below, Shareholders should also carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference herein. All of the risks below should be considered by Shareholders in conjunction with other information included in this Circular, including the schedules annexed hereto.

Uncertainty of an Organized Market

There can be no assurance that an active post-Arrangement market will develop for the Comamtech Shares or be maintained. Even if such a market develops, factors such as the completion of a business acquisition opportunity, the financial results of Comamtech and the general economic condition of the industry in which it carries on business can cause the price of the Comamtech Shares to fluctuate.

On September 20, 2010, Copernic was advised that the NASDAQ Staff determined that upon the consummation of the Harris Transaction, Comamtech would become a “public shell.”  In accordance with NASDAQ listing rules, NASDAQ, following closing of the Harris Transaction, delivered a written notification on November 4, 2010, that Comamtech Shares will be delisted, unless it appealed the determination by requesting a hearing. On November 10, 2010, Comamtech requested a hearing, which was held on December 16, 2010.

 
- 91 -

 

On December 21, 2010, NASDAQ informed Comamtech that it will be delisted from the NASDAQ and that trading in its shares will be suspended effective upon the open of business on Thursday, December 23, 2010. Comamtech Shares have since been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Comamtech continues to maintain its status as a reporting company with the SEC and will continue to update its shareholders on material events and financial information as required.

The NASDAQ Hearing Panel acknowledged that Comamtech appears to be making good faith and diligent efforts to move quickly toward a reverse merger acquisition with DecisionPoint. However, the NASDAQ Hearing Panel concluded that the prospective timeline and associated uncertainty regarding conditions required for the NASDAQ listing in connection with the DecisionPoint transaction are longer than a public shell should remain listed on the NASDAQ.  The NASDAQ Hearing Panel therefore declined to exercise discretionary authority to permit continued listing of Comamtech pending the closing of the Arrangement and determined that Comamtech will be delisted.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Comamtech will pursue a new listing on the NASDAQ. NASDAQ requires various minimum financial and qualitative conditions to be satisfied in order to qualify for listing on one of the NASDAQ trading platforms.  The respective management teams of Comamtech and DecisionPoint will endeavor to meet the minimum listing requirements as soon as reasonably possible, however, it is uncertain whether Comamtech will be able to satisfy the NASDAQ listing conditions during the foreseeable future.

The Comamtech Shares to be issued to DecisionPoint Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement are being issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.  In addition, Comamtech is relying upon certain exemptions with respect to certain 1934 Act disclosure compliance and registration obligations.

The Arrangement may be Taxable for United States Shareholders

Implementation of the Arrangement may give rise to significant adverse income tax consequences to United States Shareholders. See “Certain Tax Considerations”. United States Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions under the Arrangement.

Completion of the Arrangement is Subject to a Number of Conditions Precedent

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent. See “Arrangement Agreement” under the subheadings “Mutual Conditions Precedent”, “Conditions to Obligations of the DecisionPoint” and “Conditions to Obligations of Comamtech”.

There can be no certainty, nor can Comamtech provide any assurance whatsoever, that any conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, some of which are outside the control of DecisionPoint and Comamtech, including receipt of the Final Order, Regulatory Approvals, and the approval of the Shareholders by the Required Vote.

Possible Failure to Complete the Arrangement

If the proposed Arrangement is not completed, Comamtech will have incurred substantial costs that may adversely affect its financial results and operations and the market price of the Comamtech Shares.

 
- 92 -

 

Comamtech has incurred and will continue to incur substantial costs in connection with the proposed Arrangement. These costs consist primarily of legal, auditing and advisory fees. In addition, Comamtech has diverted significant management resources in an effort to complete the Arrangement and is subject to restrictions contained in the Arrangement Agreement with respect to the conduct of its business. If the Arrangement is not completed, Comamtech will have incurred substantial costs (including a possible Termination Fee (see “Arrangement Agreement – Expenses and Termination Fees”), and diverted significant management resources, for which it will have received little or no benefit. In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed, Comamtech may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and its suppliers, customers and employees. Each of these factors may adversely affect the trading price of the Comamtech Shares and Comamtech’s financial results and operations.

In addition, Shareholders are cautioned that if the proposed Arrangement is not completed, then the Board of Directors shall review its alternatives, which alternatives may include a pay out as a special dividend to the Shareholders (subject to applicable Law and sbject to any holdbacks pursuant to the Arrangement) of the cash which it holds or to liquidate its assets to its shareholders (subject to the holdbacks pursuant to the Arrangement and any other liabilities required to be held by Comamtech). In this regard, it will seek, at that time, all required approvals, including shareholder approval to proceed as described below.

Failure to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement

As described in the section of this Circular entitled “Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement - Benefits of the Arrangement”, Comamtech believes the Arrangement will provide benefits to the Shareholders. However, there is a risk that anticipated benefits of the Arrangement may not materialize, or may not occur within the time frames anticipated by Comamtech. The realization of such benefits may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Comamtech.

Arrangement Agreement may be Terminated

Each of Comamtech and DecisionPoint has the right, in certain circumstances, in addition to termination rights relating to the failure to satisfy the conditions of closing, to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. Accordingly, there can be no certainty, nor can Comamtech provide any assurance, that the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated by either of Comamtech or DecisionPoint, or that the Arrangement may not be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Date, even after Shareholders approve the Arrangement Resolution. See “Arrangement Agreement – Termination of the Arrangement Agreement”.

Amendment of Arrangement Agreement

The consideration to be paid by Comamtech for the shares of DecisionPoint may be different than the consideration currently specified under the Arrangement Agreement. Although the consideration to be paid by Comamtech to acquire the shares of DecisionPoint is specified in the Arrangement Agreement, it is possible that Comamtech and DecisionPoint may agree to alter the consideration to be paid.

No History of Earnings

As a newly formed company, Comamtech has no history of earnings, and there is no assurance that Comamtech, or any asset or business acquired by Comamtech, will generate earnings, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.

DecisionPoint’s limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate DecisionPoint’s future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of DecisionPoint’s future performance.

 
- 93 -

 

Although DecisionPoint’s management team has been engaged in software development for an extended period of time, it did not begin operations of DecisionPoint’s current business until December 2003, which was subsequently expanded with the acquisition of SBS in March 2006.  DecisionPoint has a limited operating history in DecisionPoint’s current combined form, which makes it difficult to evaluate DecisionPoint’s business on the basis of historical operations.  As a consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast DecisionPoint’s future results based upon DecisionPoint’s historical data.  Reliance on DecisionPoint’s historical results may not be representative of the results we will achieve.  Because of the uncertainties related to DecisionPoint’s lack of historical operations, DecisionPoint may be hindered in its ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, product costs or expenses.  If DecisionPoint makes poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable historical data, it could be less profitable or incur losses, which may result in a decline in its stock price.

DecisionPoint’s results of operations have not been consistent, and we may not be able to maintain profitability.

Although DecisionPoint realized a net profit of US$0.3 million for the current year ended December 31, 2009, it has incurred net losses of US$0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.  DecisionPoint’s business plan is speculative and historically unproven.  Although DecisionPoint’s revenues grew substantially due to DecisionPoint’s growth strategy, it achieved a loss in the three previous fiscal years, and, as a result, there is no assurance that it will be successful in executing DecisionPoint’s business plan or that even if it successfully implements its business plan, that DecisionPoint will sustain profitability now or in the future.  If DecisionPoint incurs significant operating losses, DecisionPoint’s stock price may decline, perhaps significantly.

DecisionPoint expects that it will need to raise additional funds,and these funds may not be available when it needs them.

DecisionPoint believes that it will need to raise additional monies in order to fund DecisionPoint’s growth strategy and implement DecisionPoint’s business plan.  Specifically, DecisionPoint expects that it will need to raise additional funds in order to pursue rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services and products, and acquire complementary businesses or assets.  Additionally, DecisionPoint may need funds to respond to unanticipated events that require it to make additional investments in DecisionPoint’s business.  There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed, on favorable terms, or at all.  If these funds are not available when DecisionPoint needs them, then it may need to change DecisionPoint’s business strategy and reduce DecisionPoint’s rate of growth.

DecisionPoint’s competitors may be able to develop their business strategy and grow revenue at a faster pace, which would limit DecisionPoint’s results of operations and may force it to cease or curtail operations.

The wireless mobile solutions marketplace, while highly fragmented, is very competitive and many of DecisionPoint’s competitors are more established and have greater resources.  DecisionPoint expects that competition will intensify in the future. Some of these competitors also have greater market presence, marketing capabilities, technological and personnel resources than DecisionPoint.  As compared with DecisionPoint’s company therefore, such competitors may:

 
(a)
develop and expand their infrastructure and service/product offerings more efficiently or more quickly

 
(b)
adapt more swiftly to new or emerging technologies and changes in client requirements

 
(c)
take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more effectively

 
- 94 -

 

 
(d)
devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and services; and

 
(e)
leverage more effectively existing relationships with customers and strategic partners or exploit better recognized brand names to market and sell their services.

These current and prospective competitors include:

 
(f)
other wireless mobile solutions companies such as Peak Technologies, Agilysys, Acsis, Stratix, InfoLogix and Catalyst International;

 
(g)
in certain areas DecisionPoint’s existing hardware suppliers, in particular Motorola but also Intermec, Zebra and others; and

 
(h)
the in-house IT departments of many of DecisionPoint’s customers.

A significant portion of DecisionPoint’s revenue is dependent upon a small number of customers and the loss of any one of these customers would negatively impact DecisionPoint’s revenues and results of operations.

DecisionPoint derived approximately 25% of its revenues from two customers and 34% from five customers in 2009. DecisionPoint derived approximately 23% of its revenues from DecisionPoint’s two largest customer and 45% from its five largest customers in 2008.  Customer mix shifts significantly from year to year, but a concentration of the business with a few large customers is typical in any given year.  A decline in DecisionPoint’s revenues could occur if a customer which has been a significant factor in one financial reporting period gives DecisionPoint significantly less business in the following period.

DecisionPoint’s sales and profitability may be affected by changes in economic, business or industry conditions.

If the economic climate in the U.S. or abroad deteriorates, customers or potential customers could reduce or delay their technology investments.  Reduced or delayed technology investments could decrease DecisionPoint’s sales and profitability.  In this environment, DecisionPoint’s customers may experience financial difficulty, cease operations and fail to budget or reduce budgets for the purchase of DecisionPoint’s products and professional services.  This may lead to longer sales cycles, delays in purchase decisions, payment and collection, and can also result in downward price pressures, causing DecisionPoint’s sales and profitability to decline.  In addition, general economic uncertainty and general declines in capital spending in the information technology sector make it difficult to predict changes in the purchasing requirements of DecisionPoint’s customers and the markets we serve.  There are many other factors which could affect DecisionPoint’s business, including:

 
(a)
the introduction and market acceptance of new technologies, products and services;

 
(b)
new competitors and new forms of competition;

 
(c)
the size and timing of customer orders;

 
(d)
the size and timing of capital expenditures by DecisionPoint’s customers;

 
(e)
adverse changes in the credit quality of DecisionPoint’s customers and suppliers;

 
(f)
changes in the pricing policies of, or the introduction of, new products and services by us or DecisionPoint’s competitors;

 
- 95 -

 

 
(g)
changes in the terms of DecisionPoint’s contracts with DecisionPoint’s customers or suppliers;

 
(h)
the availability of products from DecisionPoint’s suppliers; and

 
(i)
variations in product costs and the mix of products sold.

These trends and factors could adversely affect DecisionPoint’s business, profitability and financial condition and diminish DecisionPoint’s ability to achieve DecisionPoint’s strategic objectives.

DecisionPoint relies on key vendors and the loss of any one of these relationships would negatively impact DecisionPoint’s results of operations.

DecisionPoint relies heavily on a number of privileged vendor relationships as a Tier-1, VAR and Premier Solution Partner for Motorola, a manufacturer of bar code scanners and portable data terminals; as an Honors Solutions Provider for Intermec, a manufacturer of bar code scanners and terminals; as a Premier Partner with Zebra, a printer manufacturer, and O’Neil, the leading provider of ‘ruggedized’ handheld mobile printers.  The loss of VAR status with any of these manufacturers could have a substantial adverse effect on DecisionPoint’s business.

DecisionPoint has not sought to protect its proprietary knowledge through patents and, as a result, DecisionPoint’s sales and profitability could be adversely affected to the extent that competing products/services were to capture a significant portion of DecisionPoint’s target markets.

 DecisionPoint has generally not sought patent protection for its products and services, relying instead on DecisionPoint’s technical know-how and ability to design solutions tailored to its customers’ needs. DecisionPoint’s sales and profitability could be adversely affected to the extent that competing products/services were to capture a significant portion of DecisionPoint’s target markets. To remain competitive, DecisionPoint must continually improve its existing personnel skill sets and capabilities and the provision of the services related thereto. DecisionPoint’s success will also depend, in part, on management’s ability to recognize new technologies and services and make arrangements to license in, or acquire such technologies so as to remain always at the leading edge.

DecisionPoint must effectively manage the growth of its operations, or DecisionPoint will suffer.

DecisionPoint’s ability to successfully implement DecisionPoint’s business plan requires an effective planning and management process. If funding is available, DecisionPoint intends to increase the scope of its operations and acquire complimentary businesses. Implementing DecisionPoint’s business plan will require significant additional funding and resources. If DecisionPoint grows operations, it will need to hire additional employees and make significant capital investments. If DecisionPoint grows its operations, it will place a significant strain on existing management and resources. If DecisionPoint grows, it will need to improve its financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures, and will need to expand, train and manage its workforce. Any failure to manage any of the foregoing areas efficiently and effectively would cause DecisionPoint’s business to suffer.

If DecisionPoint fails to continue to introduce new products that achieve broad market acceptance on a timely basis, it will not be able to compete effectively and will be unable to increase or maintain sales and profitability.

 DecisionPoint’s future success depends on its ability to develop and introduce new products and product enhancements that achieve broad market acceptance.  If DecisionPoint is unable to develop and introduce new products that respond to emerging technological trends and customers’ mission critical needs, DecisionPoint’s profitability and market share may suffer.  The process of developing new technology is complex and uncertain, and DecisionPoint fails to accurately predict customers’ changing needs and emerging technological trends, DecisionPoint’s business could be harmed.  DecisionPoint must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether its investments will result in products the market will accept.  DecisionPoint may encounter delays in deploying new or improved products.

 
- 96 -

 

DecisionPoint is active in the identification and development of new products and technologies and in enhancing its current products.  However, in the enterprise mobility solutions industry, such activities are complex and filled with uncertainty.  If DecisionPoint expends a significant amount of resources and such efforts do not lead to the successful introduction of new or improved products, there could be a material adverse effect on DecisionPoint’s business, profitability, financial condition and market share.

DecisionPoint may also encounter delays in the manufacturing and production of new products.  Additionally, new products may not be commercially successful.  Demand for existing products may decrease upon the announcement of new or improved products.  Further, since products under development are often announced before introduction, these announcements may cause customers to delay purchases of any products, even if newly introduced, until the new or improved versions of those products are available.  If customer orders decrease or are delayed during the product transition, DecisionPoint may experience a decline in revenue and have excess inventory on hand which could decrease gross profit margins.  DecisionPoint’s profitability might decrease if customers, who may otherwise choose to purchase existing products, instead choose to purchase lower priced models of new products.  Delays or deficiencies in the development, manufacturing, and delivery of, or demand for, new or improved products could have a negative effect on DecisionPoint’s business or profitability.

DecisionPoint faces competition from numerous sources and competition may increase, leading to a decline in revenues.

DecisionPoint competes primarily with well-established companies, many of which it believes have greater resources.  DecisionPoint believes that barriers to entry are not significant and start-up costs are relatively low, so competition may increase in the future.  New competitors may be able to launch new businesses similar to those of DecisionPoint, and current competitors may replicate DecisionPoint’s business model, at a relatively low cost.  If competitors with significantly greater resources than DecisionPoint decide to replicate its business model, they may be able to quickly gain recognition and acceptance of their business methods and products through marketing and promotion.  DecisionPoint may not have the resources to compete effectively with current or future competitors.  If DecisionPoint is unable to effectively compete, it will lose sales to its competitors and its revenues will decline.

DecisionPoint is heavily dependent on its senior management, and a loss of a member of DecisionPoint’s senior management team could cause its stock price to suffer.

If DecisionPoint loses members of its senior management, it may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis, and DecisionPoint’s business could be adversely affected. DecisionPoint’s existing operations and continued future development depend to a significant extent upon the performance and active participation of certain key individuals, including DecisionPoint’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice Presidents and certain other senior management individuals. DecisionPoint cannot guarantee that it will be successful in retaining the services of these or other key personnel. If DecisionPoint were to lose any of these individuals, it may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis and its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 
- 97 -

 

DecisionPoint’s inability to hire, train and retain qualified employees could cause its financial condition to suffer.

The success of DecisionPoint’s business is highly dependent upon DecisionPoint’s ability to hire, train and retain qualified employees.  DecisionPoint faces competition from other employers for people, and the availability of qualified people is limited.  DecisionPoint must offer a competitive employment package in order to hire and retain employees, and any increase in competition for people may require it to increase wages or benefits in order to maintain a sufficient work force, resulting in higher operation costs.  Additionally, DecisionPoint must successfully train its employees in order to provide high quality services. In the event of high turnover or shortage of people, DecisionPoint may experience difficulty in providing consistent high-quality services.  These factors could adversely affect DecisionPoint’s results of operations.

DecisionPoint’s internal controls over financial reporting have not been audited by DecisionPoint’s external auditors.

4.4            Conversion

(1)            Conversions at Option of Holder.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4, each Series A Preferred Share shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Effective Date, at the option of the Holder thereof.  Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice provided by the Corporation (a “Notice of Conversion”).  Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted, the number of Series A Preferred Shares owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of Series A Preferred Shares owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.  To effect conversions of Series A Preferred Shares, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such Series A Preferred Shares to the Corporation unless all of the Series A Preferred Shares represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series A Preferred Shares promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.   Series A Preferred Shares converted into Common Shares or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued.

(2)            Conversion Ratio.  The conversion ratio for the Series A Preferred Shares shall be 1 Common Share for 1 Series A Preferred Share (the “Conversion Ratio”).

(3)            Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series A Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation  subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4.4(3), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4.4(3) applies, the determination of whether the Series A Preferred Shares are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and of how many Series A Preferred Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Series A Preferred Shares may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and how many Series A Preferred Shares are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time he or she delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.4(3) and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 4.4(3), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Series A Preferred Shares, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Shares was reported.  A Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to his or her Series A Preferred Shares.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporations and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.    The provisions of this Section 4.4(3) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4.4(3) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 4.4(3) shall apply to a successor holder of Series A Preferred Shares.

 
- C-16 -

 

(4)            Mechanics of Conversion.

 
(a)
Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a certificate or certificates which, on or after the Effective Date, shall contain appropriate restrictive legends and trading restrictions representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Shares.  On or after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall, upon request of such Holder, use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 4.4 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Conversion Notice by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any original Series A Preferred Share certificates delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation any Common Share certificates representing the Series A Preferred Shares unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation.

 
- C-17 -

 

 
(b)
Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares and payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, each as herein provided, free from pre-emptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, not less than such aggregate number of Common Shares as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 4.5) upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares.  The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 
(c)
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares.  As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 
(d)
Transfer Taxes.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Shares on conversion of Series A Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such Series A Preferred Shares and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

4.5            Certain Adjustments

(1)            Stock Dividends and Shares Splits.  If the Corporation, at any time while any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Common Shares on the Common Shares or any other Common Shares Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, Series A Preferred Shares); (B) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse share split or share consolidation) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of Common Shares, any shares of any class or series in the capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Shares (excluding any unissued shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares, or in the event that Section 4.5(1)(D) shall apply reclassified shares of any class or series in the capital stock of the Corporation, outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.5(1) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 
- C-18 -

 

(2)            Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any amalgamation or arrangement of the Corporation with or into another Person, (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if such Holder had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one Common Share (the “Alternate Consideration”).  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Shares in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall adjust the Conversion Ratio in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration he or she receives upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Shares following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file articles of amendment (or comparable constating document) with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred shares consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred shares into Alternate Consideration.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.5(2) and ensuring that Series A Preferred Shares (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

(3)            Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 4.5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  For purposes of this Section 4.5, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding any unissued shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

(4)            Notice to the Holders.

 
(a)

Montréal, January 13th, 2011

Montreal, QC H3A 3H3

Object: Revised Fairness Opinion DecisionPoint

Dear Sirs,

As per your request and the terms of our engagement letter of August 25th, 2010, we are pleased to issue this Valuation Report for the shares of DecisionPoint Systems inc. („DecisionPoint‟‟) as of January 13th, 2011, the Report Date. This valuation is performed because there is an offer from Comamtech inc. („Comamtech‟‟) to acquire all of the shares of DecisionPoint on or about February 28th, 2011, the Transaction Closing Date, on the basis of an arrangement pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of Comamtech will amalgamate with DecisionPoint in consideration whereof the shareholders of DecisionPoint will exchange their shares for shares in Comamtech ((„Arrangement‟‟). This fairness opinion supersedes the original fairness opinion dated October 6th, 2010. The terms and conditions of this offer are driven by a Letter of Intent („LOI‟‟) executed between Comamtech and DecisionPoint as at August 26th, 2010 as well as an arrangement agreement dated October 20th, 2010, as amended on December 23rd, 2010 („Arrangement Agreement‟‟). Thus, for the sake of this report, the Valuation Date is set at the Report Date of January 13th, 2011. The enclosed report takes into consideration the recently c transaction between DecisionPoint and CMAC, inc. and also the contemplated agreement between Sigma Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Sigma”) and DecisionPoint concerning preferred and common shares issuance. At the same time, the valuation conclusion will be used to issue the fairness opinion. The purpose of this opinion is to conclude on the fairness of the proposed Arrangement to all the shareholders of Comamtech, (except for any interested party). Our valuation report follows Appendix A to Standard 110 of the Practice Standards of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators (CICBV) while the Fairness Opinion follows Appendix B to Standard 110. Under the standards of the CICBV, there are three types of valuation reports: (i) Comprehensive; (ii) Estimate; and, (iii) Calculation. The conclusions reported therein differ by the level of assurance provided and the extent of analysis, investigation, and corroboration performed by the valuator. The enclosed report is an Estimate Valuation Report as per CICBV Standard 110. As such, the scope of review is inherently limited by the nature of the valuation report being provided and the conclusions expressed herein may have been different had a comprehensive valuation report been provided.

Unless noted otherwise, all amounts are expressed in US Dollars.

Conclusion

Based on the qualifications, restrictions, limitations and assumptions described therein and our valuation analysis, we conclude that DecisionPoint has, at the Valuation Date, a Fair Market Value (“FMV”) of its equity (common and preferred combined) between $7.4M and $19.0M, but more realistically, between $13.8M and $16.8M. This conclusion is based upon the financial results and capital structure information known and disclosed at the Valuation Date. It should be noted that ModelCom did not visit the installations of DecisionPoint and, as such, the conclusion might change following the site visits and the validation of the assets and installations.

As well, ModelCom looked at the fairness of the proposed transaction to all the shareholders of Comamtech. The transaction is a reverse takeover by which Comamtech will issue shares to acquire DecisionPoint. The FMV of the combined equity of DecisionPoint is between $9.3M and $22.6M but, more realistically, between $13.8M and $16.8M. Since the Series A preferred shares have a par value of $975k, the FMV of the common equity is between $12.8M and $15.8M, while the cash value of the consideration paid is $15.5M. Thus, based on all the assumptions, limitations, qualifications, restrictions described herein as well as all the valuation calculations, the Arrangement, as it is set, is fair, from a financial point of view, to all the shareholders of Comamtech.

Post transaction event

Currently, on a post-transaction basis, DecisionPoint could conclude a financing agreement with Sigma. This agreement stipulates that DesisionPoint will issued 3,200 preferred shares at $1,000 per share for a consideration of $3.2M in cash. These shares are convertible in common shares at any time at a fixed price of $3.20 per share. Also, DecisionPoint will grant 300,000 common shares to Sigma without any compensation. The issuance of 300,000 common shares will reduce the price per common share, dropping it from $3.33 to $3.20. However, concerning the preferred stock, theres no impact on the equity value since the price of conversion is the same as the current price per share.

Valuation Process

The FMV of DecisionPoint is determined first by using an income based valuation technique since DecisionPoint is a profitable business venture. Then, the valuation conclusion will be compared with market data from business subjects operating in a similar field than DecisionPoint. This market data comprise stock price information from other players as well as recent information from past transactions.

Also, the Fairness Opinion will be structured by comparing the value conclusion on DecisionPoint with the terms of the LOI and the Arrangement Agreement to reach a conclusion on the fairness of the proposed transaction.

FMV can be defined as the highest price available in an open and unrestricted market, between prudent, willing and well-informed parties acting at arms length, under no compulsion to act and expressed in terms of cash.

Description of the shares being valued

DecisionPoint is listed on the Over-The-Counter securities market and trading data is available from June 2009.

The following table shows the history of trading for DecisionPoint:

Q4-2010       63 958     $ 0,23     $ 0,45     $ 0,27  

Using a stock price of $0.2875 per share (average closing price for the 20 trading days before the Valuation Date) and the number of shares outstanding at the Valuation Date of 36,749,286, the market capitalization is $10,565,420. As part of the outstanding shares, 21,482,619 shares are restricted.

Also, the company has a stock option plan. The total number of options granted and outstanding is 3,556,499 with exercise prices from $0.20 to $0.31 and an average exercise price of $0.22. Among the granted options, 2,507,988 are vested with an average exercise price of $0.21. These granted options should be considered in-the-money.

Furthermore, at the Valuation Date, DecisionPoint has 975 Series A preferred shares outstanding with a par value of $1,000 per preferred share, or $975,000 in aggregate. These preferred shares can be converted in 2,000 common shares, at the option of the holder, at $0.50 per share. Thus, if converted, these preferred shares will translate into 1,950,000 new common shares. Also, DecisionPoint has 380 Series B preferred shares outstanding with a par value of $1,000 per preferred share, or $380,000 in aggregate. These preferred shares can be converted in 2,500 common shares, at the option of the holder, at $0.40 per share. Thus, if converted, these preferred shares will translate into 950,000 new common shares.

Finally, at the Valuation Date, DecisionPoint has 3,105,000 warrants outstanding. The following table provides a summary of these warrants:

Number of warrants
   
Exercise price
 
  1,000,000     $ 0.50  
  1,000,000     $ 0.60  
  617,500     $ 1.00  
  487,500     $ 1.25  
  3,105,000     $ 0.749  

At prevailing market stock price, none of these warrants are in the money.

The Fairness Opinion section below will explain how these securities are handled as part of the Arrangement and as defined by the LOI and the Arrangement Agreement executed between Comamtech and DecisionPoint.

DecisionPoint Financial Results

DecisionPoint is a publicly listed company on the Over-The-Counter securities market and the financial results are available to the public and they are not reproduced here.

Valuation approaches

There are three approaches to value:
a) Income-based approach;
b) Asset-based approach;
c) Market-based approach.

 
a)
Income-based approach is used when the business subject is viable as a going concern. It is the case of a company that is generating an appropriate level of profits that translates into acceptable rate of returns. These approaches are either based upon capitalization of indicated income figure (earnings, cash flow, EBIT or EBITDA) or on discounted cash flow (DCF). In this latter case, the stream of annual expected cash flows is discounted to present value to reach a conclusion on value;
 
b)
Asset-based approach is used when the company is not viable as a going concern or when the company is not an operating entity, such as a holding. Thus, this approach would consider either the market value of the net tangible asset base, the liquidation value of the company or the replacement cost of the assets under consideration;
 
c)
Finally, the market approach compares the business subject to similar companies in the public market or to previous comparable transactions. The concept is to extract given multiples from comparable companies that can be compared to the business subject. This approach is usually used to validate the value conclusions obtained through the income or asset-based approaches.

Statement of independence

ModelCom is acting independently and has no contingent fees with Comamtech. In 2008, ModelCom has provided consulting services to Comamtech in the elaboration of financial models to assist in the forecasting of cash flows of Comamtechs business units and in the analysis of some scenarios. These services have been provided under a distinct agreement and for other purposes than the enclosed proposal. However, it is understood that Comamtechs management has used these tools to developing their cash flow forecast for their business units as well as providing a sound approach of allocating balance sheet information between the business units.

In 2009 and 2010, ModelCom has:
 
1-
issued a Fairness Opinion to the Board of Directors of Comamtech regarding the sale of the Comamtech Desktop Search Business Unit to N. Harris Computer Corporation;
 
2-
issued a Fairness Opinion to the Board of Directors of Comamtech regarding the acquisition of waste-to-energy assets from two Canadian companies;
 
3-
issued a Valuation Report allowing the management of Comamtech to conclude on the Goodwill Impairment Test of the Comamtech Desktop Search business unit for the fiscal year 2008;

Logo 1
 
 
4-
issued a Fairness Opinion to the Board of Directors of Comamtech regarding the sales of the assets of Mamma.com by Comamtech;
 
5-
issued a Draft Valuation Report and Draft Fairness Opinion to Comamtech regarding a proposed transaction that did not close;
 
6-
issued a Valuation Report allowing the management of Comamtech to conclude on the Goodwill Impairment Test of the Comamtech Desktop Search business unit for the fiscal year 2009.

These mandates have no relation with the present assignment.

Assumptions

ModelCom has set the following general assumptions in the enclosed analysis:
 
1-
All assets and liabilities were recorded in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the provided DecisionPoints financial statements;
 
2-
DecisionPoint has no significant undisclosed liabilities, technologies or contracts that would have a material impact on the value conclusion;
 
3-
There is no significant material change during the stub period defined between September 30th, 2010 (date of the latest financial statements) and the Report Date that would adversely affect the valuation conclusion herein.

Valuation DecisionPoint

DecisionPoint is a growing company and the management has prepared a cash flow forecast over the next few years. As such, ModelCom intends to use a DCF approach to determine the value of DecisionPoint.

However, prior to perform the valuation, the Weighted Average Costs of Capital (WACC) of DecisionPoint is required. The Appendix 5 explains how ModelCom derived a WACC between 18.45% and 18.71%.

To assist in the preparation of its cash flow forecast, ModelCom relied on:
 
a)
Harbinger Research Report – Initiating Coverage Report;
 
b)
Prairie Capital Advisors ESOP Valuation Report;
 
c)
Cash Flow forecast from DecisionPoint (Dec. 2009);
 
d)
2010 estimates from DecisionPoint;
 
e)
Some benchmarking data for companies within DecisionPoint industry (cf. Appendix 1).

1-
The first point to note is that DecisionPoint is behind its forecast of EBITDA for 2010:
 
a.
The management of DecisionPoint represents that they suffered from a chipset supply shortage from Motorola in the first half of 2010. This shortage might have some mid-term consequences on the ability of DecisionPoint to grow its revenue base. According to the management of DecisionPoint, many players in the industry have suffered from the same situation.
 
b.
Higher than expected SG&A are explained, according to the management of DecisionPoint, by the economic situation as well as the efforts spent on some investment opportunities and potential acquisitions.
2- 
Then, the Harbinger Research numbers are very odd compared to the plan from DecisionPoint as well as to the numbers from Prairie Capital Advisors:
 
a.
Optimistic revenue growth – from Appendix 1, no company grew by more than 20% for 3 years in a row;
 
b.
Significant gross margin improvement – going from 20% to almost 26% over 3 years is a tremendous improvement. Again, in Appendix 1, no other company is showing this kind of behaviour and the DecisionPoint plan is not even that optimistic;
 
c.
Significant relief in relative spending in SG&A – in Appendix 1, there is no sign of significant economy of scale on the SG&A when the revenues are going up.
 
d.
It appears that this plan is not supported by numbers from DecisionPoint itself as well as from the other business valuation. Thus, the Harbinger Research numbers should be qualified as the „utopia‟‟ plan and no significant weight should be attached to it.
3- 
The valuation report from Prairie Capital Advisors mostly relied on the cash flow forecast prepared by DecisionPoint in December 2009. They were just a bit more conservative on the improvement of the gross margin and on the relative decline in SG&A. It is worth noting that the purpose of the valuation was strictly on valuing non-marketable, minority ESOP shares as at December 31st, 2009. Even if the purpose is very different and the Valuation Date is also different, their DCF conclusion was that the equity value of DecisionPoint was $8.5M. It is likely that this value conclusion might underestimate the potential of growth of DecisionPoint, however, as stated above, they used the 2010 – 2012 revenue projections of DecisionPoint.

 
11

 

Logo 1
 
Thus, ModelComs analysis of the various forecast leads to the following statements:
 
a)
DecisionPoint cannot grow steadily by 25% per year over the next 3 years. As a matter of fact, DecisionPoint has issued its 2nd quarter 2010 results and they are experiencing very small growth compared to 2009 (3%). Based on their proforma expectations for the second semester of 2010, they plan to reach $57M in revenues, an increase of 18% over 2009 results. The stagnation in revenues in the first semester of 2010, according to the management of DecisionPoint, is solely due to a supply shortage with Motorola, one of their most significant chipset suppliers. Thus, the reliance on Motorola is an operational risk of DecisionPoint since such a shortage can happen again in the future.
 
b)
Prevailing and recent economic conditions create volatile industry conditions and make it difficult to develop forecast for DecisionPoint. Margins are thin and, as such, lead to highly hypothetical financial projections. Recent results of DecisionPoint as well as ambivalent economic news, especially in US, make it very difficult to support the assumptions of heavy revenue growth in a foreseeable future.
 
c)
The gross margin can improve over time, but at a reasonable pace. For instance, for the first 2 quarters of 2009, the gross margin was at 19.0% while, for the first 2 quarters of 2010, the gross margin is 18.7%. Again, this might be explained, according to the management of DecisionPoint, by the delays in deploying solutions due to supply shortage from Motorola. DecisionPoint is expecting some kind of revenue shift, over time, by which the revenues from services with higher margins will grow faster than revenues with lower margins. ModelCom has taken this gross margin improvement forecast into consideration, but has slowed down the pace of improvement since the suggested scenario was too optimistic. At the same time, the December 2009 DecisionPoint plan was not that optimistic in terms of gross margin improvement.
 
d)
The SG&A expenses will need to stay at a reasonable level in order to finance the growth in revenues. Thus, Modelcom believes that, from a relative point of view, and according to the benchmarks (cf. Appendix 1), it would be more realistic to keep the SG&A spending at approximately the same level over time.
 
e)
As stated in the Harbinger Research report and as shown in the benchmarking in Appendix 1, DecisionPoint operates under a negative level of non-cash working capital. ModelComs opinion is that, in the best case, the non-cash working capital should be adjusted to nil, thus requiring a reduction in enterprise value of $3.5M. In the worst case, ModelComs opinion is that DecisionPoint should have a minimum positive balance in non-cash working capital of 5% of their revenues, thus requiring a reduction in enterprise value of $6.0M. It is worth noting that in the December 2009 DecisionPoint forecast, the companys expectation was to operate under a null level of non-cash working capital.

Thus, ModelCom has assembled a new forecast over the next few years (2011 to 2014) using the assumptions above and has assembled a probabilistic model with 5 possible scenarios. The Appendix 2 provides all the details. The highlights of these 5 scenarios are as follows:

 
12

 
 
Logo 1
 
Scenario
 
Annual Revenue Growth Rate
   
Gross Margin Improvement (over 3 years)
   
Additional Risk Premium
 
Very Optimistic
    25 %     5.75 %     5.0 %
Optimistic
    20 %     5.25 %     2.5 %
Realistic
    15 %     4.50 %     0 %
Pessimistic
    10 %     4.00 %     -1.5 %
Very Pessimistic
    5 %     2.50 %     -2.5 %

Also, to include the acquisition of CMAC, inc. into Decision Point forecasts, we assume a CMAC, inc. revenues growth rate of 3% from 2011 to 2013. Then, to consider synergies resulting of the acquisition, in the optimistic scenarios, we include gross margin improvement for period from 2011 to 2013 of respectively 0.5%, 1.25% and 2.0%.

The very optimistic scenario is close to the Harbinger Research report except that ModelCom cannot accept a sharp decrease in SG&A as well as a very aggressive gross margin improvement over only 3 years. In such a case, the risk of delivering such a scenario is taken into account by adding an additional risk premium of 5% to the WACC. The optimistic scenario will also be quite challenging to deliver (20% revenue growth and significant gross margin improvement), thus an additional premium of 2.5% is added as well.

The realistic scenario keeps on the actual revenue growth (15%) and implements a realistic program of gross margin improvement of 4.50% over 3 years. In such a case, no additional risk premium is required. Finally, ModelCom has assembled 2 more pessimistic scenarios with lower revenue growth and lower gross margin improvements. In these cases, the specific risk premium added to the WACC (cf. Appendix 5) is reduced to account for the conservativeness of the projections.

Here are some highlights from these scenarios:

   
ModelCom Realistic
   
ModelCom Very Pessimistic
   
ModelCom Very Optimistic

    1,751       3,317       5,165       1,751       2,539       3,574       1,751       3,558       6,955  
EBITDA (%)
    2.6 %     4.4 %     6.0 %     2.6 %     3.6 %     4.9 %     2.6 %     4.4 %     7.0 %

In all cases, the perpetual growth rate, after the forecast period, has been set to 4%. The terminal value is determined using this 4% perpetual growth rate using the Gordon Growth Formula. The cash flows are discounted mid-year. The sustaining annual capital expenditures are neglected since DecisionPoint has a very low level of fixed assets and nothing should significantly change over the coming future. As well, the tax shield on existing assets is neglected as well since it has no materiality. The working capital requirements to support the growth in revenues should not be significant since increase in accounts receivable and inventory should be compensated by increase in accounts payable and deferred revenues.

Also, the management of DecisionPoint has represented that DecisionPoint has a very low level of carry-forward losses, if any, and that their fiscal asset base should be close to the booked one and is very low. Thus, these parameters have been set to nil in the present valuation.

Since a WACC is used, the enterprise value is derived. To get the equity value, the interest bearing debt is subtracted, the cash available is added and the working capital adjustment is subtracted. DecisionPoint is representing that the balance in interest bearing debt outstanding, at the end of December 2010, should be approximately $8.8M while the cash on hand would be approximately $280k: these are the numbers ModelCom used. Finally, as discussed above an adjustment of $3.5M to $6.0M is also added to compensate for the working capital deficit.

To conclude on value, a kind of normal distribution of the proposed scenarios is set, by which the tail scenarios (very optimistic and very pessimistic) have a probability of occurrence of 10% each, while the middle scenarios (optimistic and pessimistic) receive 20% each. This lets 40% of probability for the realistic scenario.

The conclusion is that DecisionPoint has an equity value between $7.4M and $19.0M, but more realistically, between $13.8M and $16.8M using the probabilistic distribution from the different scenarios. This equity value might need to be allocated between preferred and common equity.

ModelCom has also assembled information on comparable publicly-listed companies.

In Appendix 3, these comparable companies are listed. The data from these companies are adjusted to render them comparable to DecisionPoint: they are adjusted for the risk & size as well as for the profitability. Thus, the comparable company approach would lead to an equity value between $6.6M and $9.5M. However, this approach is limited by the fact that DecisionPoint is planning to deliver significant revenue growth and, as well, these companies suffered a lot from the last economic downturn. Thus, this might not be a good representation of the FMV of DecisionPoint.

A similar approach is used with past transactions (Appendix 4). Transactions were selected based on the transaction date (after January 1st, 2005) and only the transactions with sufficient information were retained. Again, these transactions were adjusted to make them comparable to DecisionPoint. Thus, this leads to an equity value of DecisionPoint, after all the adjustments, between $4.2M and $10.8M.

In conclusion, it is fair to say that, after 2 years of stagnant results (due to the economic downturn first and then to the supply shortage from Motorola), the market comparable approach can only support the existing market capitalization and the conservative DCF from Prairie Capital Advisors and might underestimate the growth potential of DecisionPoint.

Thus, the FMV of the equity of DecisionPoint can be anywhere between $7.4M and $19.0M, but more realistically, between $13.8M and $16.8M using a DCF approach that recognizes the potential of growth of the company.

Fairness Opinion

As per the terms of the LOI and the Arrangement Agreement, the transaction is executed as a reverse takeover by which Comamtech would issue new common shares to acquire DecisionPoint. The share exchange is set at 8 existing DecisionPoint shares against 1 new Comamtech share. The transaction is based on a value of $7,942k for Comamtech at the transaction date, as explained below.

First, an analysis of the stock price information of Comamtech is required. Comamtech was a publicly trading company on the NASDAQ Small Cap Stock Exchange („NASDAQ‟‟), but has ceased to trade on NASDAQ since December 23rd, 2010 and now trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. The market share price might or might not reflect the FMV of the company. Over the last 6 quarters, the stock price of Comamtech has followed the following behavior:

Period
   
Average Daily
Volume

Q2-2009       5 832     $ 1,05     $ 3,36     $ 2,17

Q1-2010       5 321     $ 2,46     $ 2,96     $ 2,77  
Q2-2010       4 544     $ 2,30     $ 3,13     $ 2,30  
Q3-2010       2 583     $ 2,31     $ 2,82     $ 2,67  
Q4-2010       2 877     $ 1,70     $ 2,80     $ 1,70  

Using a stock price of $1.8885 per share (average closing price for the 20 trading days before the Valuation Date) and the number of shares, on a diluted basis, at the Valuation Date of 2,096,913, the market capitalization is $3,960,020. Thus, the transaction value of $7,942k represents a premium of 101% over the stock market price.

At the report date, Comamtech has 3 main assets in its books, totaling $7,942k:
 
1-
Cash and quasi cash for an amount of $3,860k;
 
2-
Debenture from Empresario Ltd of $2,711k, and
 
3-
An 18-month holdback with N. Harris Computer Corp of $1,371k.

At this level of value, 38,570 granted options of Comamtech (out of 67,141 options outstanding) are in the money and should be considered. Also, as part of the transaction, Mr. David Goldman has a change of control clause by which he can receive a consideration of $300k that Comamtech can pay through the issuance of shares. Finally, the merchant banker in the transaction is entitled to receive a compensation made of 3% of the newly issued shares. These fees will be paid through the issuance of shares of Comamtech after the transaction is executed, but they are considered in the number of shares of Comamtech.

The number of shares of Comamtech is then reconciled below:

Number of Shares - Copernic
 
Outstanding Shares
    2,097,861

    38,570  
A. Goldman Change of Control
    89,937  
Merchant Banker
    154,709  
Total
    2,381,077  

Thus, assuming a diluted number of shares of 2,381,077, the per share value is $3.335.

Thus, the Arrangement Agreement between Comamtech and DecisionPoint has set that 8 DecisionPoint shares would be exchanged against 1 Comamtech shares. The total number of DecisionPoint shares are reconciled below:

Total
                            41 255 785       5 156 973  

It should be noted that non-granted options will all be cancelled as part of the transaction.

Thus, the price paid for the shares of DecisionPoint would be $0.417 per share, or a premium of 45% over prevailing stock market price. At this level of share value, the option of conversion of the Series A preferred shares is out-of-the-money, thus the Series A preferred shares will not be converted. The allocation of value between the preferred equity and the common equity will be based on the par value of the Series A preferred shares at $975k.

The issuance of 5,156,973 shares then translates into a value for the common equity of DecisionPoint of $17,179k. However, this is not a cash consideration. Thus, there is a need to convert this consideration into a cash equivalent. Factors to consider are:
 
-
Some of the DecisionPoint shares are restricted (21,482,619 old DecisionPoint shares or 2,685,327 new Comamtech shares). These shares should be discounted significantly, say by 10% to account for share transfer restrictions;
 
-
The non-vested options should be discounted as well, say by 25%;
 
-
Exercise of warrants and options would bring cash that will decrease the transaction price.

The following table provides a summary of the reconciliation of the consideration.

Thus, the cash value of the consideration paid is $15.5M for the common equity. On the other hand, the FMV of the equity of DecisionPoint is between $7.4M and $19.0M, but more realistically, between $13.8M and $16.8M. However, the FMV of the common equity of DecisionPoint will be between $12.8M and $15.8M since the Series A preferred shares have a par value of $975k. Thus, the consideration is within the value range of $12.8M to $15.8M.

Post transaction event

Currently, on a post-transaction basis, DecisionPoint could conclude a financing agreement with Sigma. This agreement stipulates that DesisionPoint will issued 3,200 preferred shares at $1,000 per share for a consideration of $3.2M in cash. These shares are convertible in common shares at any time at a fixed price of $3.20 per share. Also, DecisionPoint will grant 300,000 common shares to Sigma without any compensation. The issuance of 300,000 common shares will reduce the price per common share, dropping it from $3.33 to $3.20. However, concerning the preferred stock, theres no impact on the equity value since the price of conversion is the same as the current price per share.

Conclusion

Based on the qualifications, restrictions, limitations and assumptions previously described and our valuation analysis, we conclude that DecisionPoint has, at the Valuation Date, a FMV of its total equity (common and preferred combined) between $7.4M and $19.0M, but more realistically, between $13.8M and $16.8M. This conclusion is based upon the financial results and capital structure information known and disclosed at the Valuation Date. It should be noted that ModelCom did not visit the installations of DecisionPoint and, as such, the conclusion might change following the site visits and the validation of the assets and installations.

As well, ModelCom looked at the fairness of the proposed transaction to all the shareholders of Comamtech. The transaction is a reverse takeover by which Comamtech will issue shares to acquire DecisionPoint. The FMV of the combined equity of DecisionPoint is between $7.4M and $19.0M, but more realistically, between $13.8M and $16.8M. Since the Series A preferred shares have a par value of $975k, the FMV of the common equity is between $12.5M and $15.8M, while the cash value of the consideration paid is $15.5M. Thus, based on all the assumptions, limitations, qualifications, restrictions described herein as well as all the valuation calculations, the Arrangement, as it is set, is fair, from a financial point of view, to all the shareholders of Comamtech.

Post transaction event

Currently, on a post-transaction basis, DecisionPoint could conclude a financing agreement with Sigma. This agreement stipulates that DesisionPoint will issued 3,200 preferred shares at $1,000 per share for a consideration of $3.2M in cash. These shares are convertible in common shares at any time at a fixed price of $3.20 per share. Also, DecisionPoint will grant 300,000 common shares to Sigma without any compensation. The issuance of 300,000 common shares will reduce the price per common share, dropping it from $3.33 to $3.20. However, concerning the preferred stock, theres no impact on the equity value since the price of conversion is the same as the current price per share.

Notes:
     
  1)
The consideration is made of 50% in notes payable. These notes require a significant discount, say 25%, thus a discount of 12.5% is justified.
  2)
Assets are often sold at higher prices since the purchaser can get tax benefits, so a discount of 5% is added in the case of asset sale.
  3)
The consideration of 20% in stock options requires a significant discount, say 25%. Thus, the resulting discount is 5%.
  4)  
Shares of a public company cannot be sold instantly. A blockage discount applies, here, this discount is set at 5%.
  5)
The consideration made of 25% in publicly-traded shares calls for a discount of 1%.
  6)
The 15% component of the consideration in stock options requires a discount of 3%.
  7)
The part of the consideration made of publicly-traded shares (35%) calls for a discount of 2%.
  8) 20% of the consideration is made of a 3-year note, thus a discount of 5% is applied.
  9)
The 85% part of the consideration made of publicly-traded shares calls for a discount of 4%.
  10)
The target company was sold over $1B, so a risk & size adjustment is required. In this case, a discount of 25% is appropriate.
  11) Since a public company sells at a higher price (0% to 30%) than a private one, private company transactions are increased by 15%.

Notes:
     
  (1)
10-Smallest decile from Ibbotson - Companies with less than $214M of market capitalization.
  (2) 
Specific risk factors are associated with the significant risk of delivering the projected growth as well as the reliance on Motorola as a major supplier of chipsets.
  (3)
This industry has very low leverage. The analysis of publicly listed companies shows that the debt level is between 0% and 5% with an interest rate of 6.0% to 7.0%.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders
DecisionPoint Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND THE MERGER

Nature of Business - DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is a data collection systems integrator that sells and installs field mobility devices, software, and related bar coding equipment, and provides radio frequency identification solutions, more commonly known as “RFID”.  The Company also provides professional services and software customization solutions.

Canusa Capital Corp. (“Canusa”) was incorporated on December 27, 2006 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On June 17, 2009, Canusa entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger” or “Merger Agreement”) among Canusa, DecisionPoint Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canusa (“Merger Sub”), and DecisionPoint Systems Holding, Inc., a California corporation (“Holding”). Holding merged with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canusa under the name DecisionPoint Systems Group, Inc. (“DecisionPoint”). DecisionPoint has two wholly owned subsidiaries, DecisionPoint Systems CA, Inc. formerly known as Creative Concepts Software, Inc. (“CCS”) which was originally incorporated in 1995 and DecisionPoint Systems CT, Inc. formerly known as Sentinel Business Systems, Inc. (“SBS”) which was originally incorporated in 1982. All costs incurred in connection with the Merger have been expensed. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company adopted DecisionPoint’s business plan.

Description of the Merger – On June 18, 2009, Canusa completed the Merger.  Immediately prior to the Merger, Canusa had 2,500,000 common shares outstanding and Holding had 10,000 common shares outstanding.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, 1,500,000 outstanding shares of Canusa common stock owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer were cancelled resulting in 1,000,000 shares outstanding.  Contemporaneously with the Merger, $2,794,524 of Holding’s subordinated convertible debt was converted into 6,336 shares of the Holding’s common stock.  In accordance with the terms of the Merger, each of the 16,336 shares of Holding’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were exchanged for 153.04 shares of the Company’s common stock, giving Holding’s shareholders 2,500,000 shares and former Canusa shareholders 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  After the Merger, pursuant to an 8 for 1 stock dividend, each of the Company’s 3,500,000 shares of common stock was exchanged for eight shares for of common stock, resulting in 28,000,000 total outstanding shares.  This transaction was treated as a stock split for accounting purposes.

Following the Merger, the business conducted by the Company is now the business conducted by Holding prior to the Merger.  In addition, the directors and officers of the Canusa were replaced by the directors and officers of Holding.

All references to share and per share amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the number of shares of DecisionPoint common stock issued pursuant to the Merger.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger; Financial Statement Presentation

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition pursuant to the guidance in “SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance Financial Reporting Manual”. These transactions are considered by the Securities and Exchange Commission to be capital transactions in substance, rather than business combinations. Accordingly, the Merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization, and, for accounting purposes, DecisionPoint is considered the acquirer in the reverse acquisition. The accompanying historical consolidated financial statements are those of DecisionPoint. Effective on the closing date the Company adopted DecisionPoint’s year end of December 31.

Canusa’s historical accumulated deficit for periods prior to June 18, 2009, in the amount of $38,000, was eliminated against additional paid in capital, and the accompanying consolidated financial statements present the previously issued shares of Canusa common stock as having been issued pursuant to the Merger on June 18, 2009.  The shares of common stock of the Company issued to the Holding stockholders in the Merger are presented as having been outstanding since the original issuance of the shares.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”).  The ASC has become the single source of non-governmental accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements.  The ASC does not supersede the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), therefore, the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC continue to be additional sources of GAAP for the Company.  The Company adopted the ASC as of July 1, 2009.  The ASC does not change GAAP and did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DecisionPoint.   All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Company operates in only one business segment.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used.  The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis.  The Company uses historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances to form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value, and as such, current earnings are charged with an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s best estimate of the amount of probable incurred credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable.  The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and specific account information available.  Accounts receivable are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets net of a valuation allowance of $332,484 and $575,000, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  The Company periodically reviews its inventories and makes provisions as necessary for estimated obsolete and slow-moving goods.  The creation of such provisions results in a write down of inventory to net realizable value and a charge to cost of sales.  Inventories are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets net of a valuation allowance of $210,000 and $175,000, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Deferred costs – Deferred costs consist primarily of third party extended maintenance services which the Company has paid in advance and then amortizes over the life of the contract period.  This is generally for a term of one to five years.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed in the period incurred.

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Computer equipment
3 to 5 years
Office furniture and fixtures
5 to 7 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of by sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges.

Goodwill – Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business.  Amortization of goodwill is not permitted.  Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount including goodwill.  If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.  The amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount.  If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value then an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess.  No impairment charges have been recorded as a result of the Company’s annual impairment assessments.

Deferred Financing Costs - Costs incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying indebtedness, adjusted to reflect any early repayments using the effective interest rate method.  Deferred financing costs net of amortization totaled $353,318 and $-0-, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues are generated through product sales, warranty and maintenance agreements, software customization, and professional services.  Product sales are recognized when the following criteria are met (1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exits; (2) delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer which generally happens at the point of shipment provided that no significant obligations remain; (3) the price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company generates revenues from the sale of extended warranties on wireless and mobile hardware and systems.  Revenue related to extended warranty and service contracts is recorded as unearned revenue and is recognized over the life of the contract as the Company maintains financial risk throughout the term of these contracts and may be liable to refund a customer for amounts paid in certain circumstances.

The Company also generates revenue from software customization and professional services on either a fee-for-service or fixed fee basis.  Revenue from software customization and professional services that is contracted as fee-for-service is recognized in the period in which the services are performed or delivered.  For certain long-term proprietary service contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fee arrangements, the Company estimates proportional performance using the labor costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated labor costs to complete the project consistent with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.  Accordingly, revenue for these contracts is recognized based on the proportion of the work performed on the contract.  If there is no sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, the revenues are recognized when final customer acceptance is received consistent with the completed contract method of accounting.  Adjustments to contract price and estimated labor costs are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined.

Concentration of Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.  Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major financial institutions and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of the FDIC insured limits.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had sales to one customer that represented 16% of total net sales.  Accounts receivable from a single customer as of December 31, 2009, accounted for 19% of total accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had sales to two customers, who collectively represented a total of 23% of total revenues.  Accounts receivable from two customers at December 31, 2008, accounted for 33% of accounts receivable.

The Company had purchases from three vendors that collectively represent 59% and 58% of total purchases for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Accounts payable from three vendors represents 35% and 29% of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable.  The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair values at December 31, 2009 and 2008, due to their short-term maturities.

Warrant Liability - The Company accounts for its warrant issued pursuant to the June 2009 subordinated convertible debt in accordance with the guidance on Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which provides that the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income or expense.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company records the fair value of all stock-based compensation awards in its consolidated financial statements. The terms and vesting schedules for stock-based awards vary by type of grant and generally vest based on the passage of time. The fair value of stock options and warrants are calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) - The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet earned is shown as a reduction of equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. As of December 31, 2009, 800,760 shares have been allocated to eligible participants in the DecisionPoint Employee Stock Ownership Plan. As shares of common stock acquired by the ESOP are committed to be released to each employee, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic earnings (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 shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities, and are measured at the prevailing enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences are settled or realized.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company determined that there were no material liabilities for tax benefits for past years and the current period.  The Company has determined that any future interest accrued, related to unrecognized tax benefits, will be included in interest expense.  In the event the Company must accrue for penalties, they will be included as an operating expense.

Prior to the Merger discussed above, the Company filed its Federal and State income tax returns as a sub-chapter “S” corporation.  Therefore, any income tax liability from its operations was payable directly by its shareholders.  The Company's sub-chapter “S” corporation status was terminated on June 18, 2009, upon the close of the Merger.

Reclassification - Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Standards

Effective June 30, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard issued by the FASB related to the disclosure requirements of the fair value of financial instruments.  This standard expands the disclosure requirements of fair value (including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value) of certain financial instruments to interim period financial statements that were previously only required to be disclosed in financial statements for annual periods.  In accordance with this standard, the disclosure requirements have been applied on a prospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis.  This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement.  Among the amendments, this standard eliminates the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement consideration and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items.  This standard also provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition.  This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2011.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements.  This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards.  Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition accounting standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement.  This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2011.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company defines fair value as the amount at which an asset or liability could be bought or incurred or sold or settled in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  The fair value estimates presented in the table below are based on information available to the Company as of December 31, 2009.

The accounting standard regarding fair value measurements discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).  The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 
·
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 
·
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 
·
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company has determined the fair value of certain liabilities as of December 31, 2009, as follows:

Warrants to acquire common stock
$  72,710

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for the above liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009:
 
  Level 1   Level 2 Level 3
Warrants to acquire common stock
$   -0-
$  72,710
$   -0-

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s liabilities, as well as the portion of gains or losses included in income attributable to a realized gain that relates to those liabilities held at:

Ending balance - December 31, 2009
  $ 72,710  
         
(1) The realized gain is included in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
 

The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with private placements of securities has been estimated by management in the absence of a readily ascertainable market value.  At December 31, 2009, the Company has determined, based upon the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, that the fair value of these warrants is $72,710.  The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were strike price of $0.30, share price of $0.29, contractual life of 4.5 years, volatility of 61.09% and a risk free interest rate of 2.71%.  Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated value may differ significantly from the fair value that would have been used had a ready market for the warrants existed, and the difference could be material.

NOTE 5 – LINE OF CREDIT

In December 2006, pursuant to a Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”), the Company obtained a $6.5 million line of credit, which provided for borrowings based upon eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the Loan Agreement.  Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, interest accrued at prime plus 2.5% with an interest rate reduction of 0.75% based on future profitability.  The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and originally matured in December 2008, at which time it was amended to extend the maturity date to March 15, 2009, in exchange for an extension fee of $12,185.

In March 2009, pursuant to an Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Amendment”) the line of credit was renewed for an additional two year period and the amount available for borrowing was increased to $8.5 million.  Pursuant to the Amendment, the rate at which interest accrues was adjusted to prime plus 4%, with a potential interest rate reduction of 0.50% based on future profitability.  The Amendment also modified the definition of “prime rate” to a rate not less than 4% on any day.  The Amendment also calls for an annual renewal fee of $85,000.  The amount outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2009 and 2008, was $2,575,326 and $3,377,208, with interest accruing at 8% and 10.25%, respectively.  The line of credit has a tangible net worth financial covenant and other non-financial covenants with which the Company has been in compliance.  Availability under the line of credit was approximately $4,296,000 and $1,608,000, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The line of credit allows the Company to cause the issuance of letters of credit on account of the Company to a maximum of the borrowing base as defined in the Loan Agreement.  No letters of credit were outstanding as of December 31, 2009 or 2008.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s interest expense related to the line of credit, including fees paid to secure lines of credit, totaled $354,534 and $455,221, respectively.

NOTE 7 – HOLDING SHARES LIABILITY

In March 2006, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), the Company acquired the common stock of SBS.  As part of the purchase price, certain employees and directors of SBS agreed to the cancellation of previously issued options to acquire shares of SBS stock in exchange for  Company Holding Share equivalents (“Holding Shares”).  The fair value of the Holding Shares was determined to be $380,000 under the terms of the Agreement.  The recipients of these Holding Shares were entitled to receive a cash settlement under one of three settlement options determined by each recipient prior to the closing of the acquisition.  The settlement options were: Option A - settlement of 20% per year of the recipients Holding Shares beginning on May 1, 2006, Option B - settlement of 100% of the recipients Holding Shares on May 1, 2010, or Option C - settlement of the recipients’ Holding Shares on the earliest to occur of the date on which the recipient turns 65, terminates employment, or the Company experiences a change in control (as defined in the Agreement).  For those recipients who elected to defer their cash payments under options B or C, the per-share value is to be re-evaluated, and the related liability adjusted, to reflect changes in the fair value of the underlying stock, based on the fair value of the ESOP share price as determined annually on December 31 of each subsequent year until maturity.

Future settlements of these Holding Shares as of December 31, 2009 include the final fixed payment of $47,631 due under option A, $142,967 due under Option B, and $59,388 due under option C.  The amounts due under options B and C have  been adjusted for the change to the fair value of the ESOP share price.    All amounts have been classified as current.

Bank Term Loan - During December 2006, pursuant to a Loan Agreement, the Company borrowed $1.5 million from a financial institution (“Loan”).  The Loan is due as follows; six months of interest only payments and thirty equal monthly payments of principal and interest.  Monthly principal payments are fixed at $50,000 over the term of the loan.  Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, interest accrues at Prime plus 2.5% with a potential interest rate reduction of 0.75% based on future profitability.  The Loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.  The Loan has a tangible net worth financial covenant and other non-financial covenants with which the Company has been in compliance.  During December 2009, the Loan was paid in full.

Subordinated Debt - CCS - In December 2003, in connection with the acquisition of CCS, the Company issued subordinated debt with a three year term in the amount of $650,000 to the original owner of CCS.  The terms of the debt called for interest only payments at Prime plus 4%, not to exceed 12%.  In December 2006, the holder agreed to continue interest only payments and to extend the maturity date of the then current principal balance of $353,800 for successive one year periods.  In January 2009, the terms of the agreement were modified to extend the maturity date to November 30, 2009 and to provide for monthly principal and interest payments of $43,092 through October 2009, and a final payment of $9,066, which was made in November 2009.

Subordinated Convertible Debt - SBS - During March 2006, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of SBS.  As part of the payment for the purchase of its common stock, the shareholders of SBS agreed to take subordinated convertible debt in the aggregate amount of $1,200,000.  Terms of repayment were quarterly interest-only payments at a rate of 4%, with all unpaid interest and principal due in March 2013.  As of December 31, 2008, $1,200,000 was outstanding.  Concurrently with the completion of the Merger, the entire amount of the debt was converted into 4,152,902 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Bridge Notes - In June 2007, the Company issued subordinated debt (“Bridge Notes”) totaling $1,000,000 to certain members of management and an outside Director.  The Bridge Notes had a six month term, accrued interest at 15% per annum and were subject to an initiation fee of 2.5% and an extension fee of 2.5% of the unpaid principal to extend beyond September 2007.  All principal and interest was originally due on December 31, 2007. In August 2008 the Bridge Notes were amended to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2008 in exchange for an additional commitment fee of 2.5% per quarter.  In January 2009, $100,000 of the principal along with accrued interest was repaid.  On January 28, 2009, the remaining Bridge Notes were extended on a rolling basis provided that the holders remained an employee or director of the Company.  The extended Bridge Notes bear an extension fee of 2.5% per quarter as long as they remain outstanding.  In the event of a subsequent material transaction involving a merger, acquisition, initial public offering, change in control, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or a financing transaction (“Transaction”) in excess of $2 million that contemplates the exchange or conversion of the Bridge Notes into some form of equity, the holder has the option to either have the Bridge Note and all unpaid interest, paid in full or converted in accordance with the terms of the Transaction.  Concurrent with the completion of the Merger, $415,000 of principal was exchanged for 415 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock.  Subsequent to the Merger, additional principal payments totaling $275,000 were made on certain Bridge Notes and the interest rate was reduced from 25% (15% per annum plus 2.5% quarterly) to 16% per annum.  Effective January 2010, the interest rate on the notes has increased to 25% per annum.

Pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Notes, the Company issued fully vested warrants to purchase 130,000 shares of common stock.  The warrant amount was equal to 10% of the principal amount of the Bridge Notes divided by the offering price in any initial public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 and a contractual term of five years.  The warrants were valued at $58,919 and have been recorded as a discount to the Bridge Notes and a credit to additional paid-in capital.  The note discount has been fully amortized to interest expense as of December 31, 2009.

Subordinated Convertible Debt - June 2009 – Immediately following the completion of the Merger in June 2009, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a convertible subordinated debenture (the “Note”) with a face value of $250,000, net of an Original Issue Discount of 10% and issuance costs of $32,500 with net proceeds totaling $192,500.  Interest on the Note accrues at 6% per annum and is due monthly.  Principal and any remaining accrued but unpaid interest are due in June 2010.  The Note converts at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share.  The market value of the Company’s common stock was $1.00 per share on the date of issuance.

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  The warrants are fully vested and have a contractual term of five years.  The fair value of the warrants was $314,850 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of issuance.  The terms of the warrants contain a price adjustment provision in the event that the Company issues common shares at a price below the exercise price of the warrants.  The proceeds from the issuance of the Note, $225,000, were allocated between the Note and the warrants based on the relative fair values of the components.  The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrants, which had a fair value of $314,850 was limited to $128,639 and is recorded as a current liability and a discount to the Note.  The remaining unallocated proceeds of $96,361 were compared to the fair value of the stock that would be received upon conversion, and the Company determined that a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $405,000 existed, but was limited to the unallocated Note value of $96,361.  The Company recorded the remaining proceeds from the Note reduced by the discounts previously recorded, or $96,361, as an additional discount to the Note and additional paid-in capital.  The total discount of $250,000 is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the 12 month term of the Note.

On December 16, 2009, the warrants were re-priced due to the issuance of common shares at $0.30 per share to the Senior Subordinated Note holders.  On December 31, 2009, the Company determined that the fair value of the warrants was $72,710, and recorded a gain on the change in the value of $55,929.  This is recorded as other income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Senior Subordinated Notes - On December 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (‘Financing Agreement”) with four purchasers pursuant to which it issued $2,500,000 of non-convertible senior secured promissory notes (the “Notes”).  The Notes bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum and mature on May 31, 2011.  The Company has the ability to extend the maturity date to November 30, 2011.  Partial monthly amortization payments are due as follows; a) $50,000 from March 31, 2010 to May 31, 2010, b) $75,000 from June 30, 2010 to August 31, 2010, c)$100,000 from September 30, 2010 to November 30, 2010, and $125,000 from December 31, 2010 to April 30, 2011.  The balance and all accrued but unpaid interest is due on May 31, 2011. For all repayments of principal before November 30, 2010, the Company shall pay 107% of the principal payments to the purchasers.  For all repayments of principal after November 30, 2010, the Company shall pay 114% of the principal to the purchasers.  The principal premium would be recorded as interest expense.  Interest payments of 15% per annum are due monthly in arrears beginning on December 31, 2009.  On November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2011, (if the note is extended) the Company shall pay a fee equal to 1.5% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance.  The Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company subject and subordinated only to liens securing the Company’s obligations under the line of credit and bank term loan.

Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock.  The common stock was valued at $0.30 per share, the closing price of the stock on the date of the agreement, and is recorded as deferred financing costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Other expenses related to the issuance of the Notes of $177,193 and closing fees of $75,000 were also included in deferred financing costs which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.

As part of the Financing Agreement, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 1,000,000 have an exercise price of $0.50 per share, and 1,000,000 have an exercise price of $0.60 per share.  The warrants are fully vested and have a contractual term of five years.  The warrants were valued at $369,000 and have been recorded as a discount to the Notes and a credit to additional paid-in capital.

For years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s interest expense related to the above debt, including all extension and commitment fees, totaled $499,983 and $511,268, respectively.

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the required service period, which is generally equal to the vesting period.  The fair value of options granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2009, (no options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2008) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected term
 
5 years
 
Expected volatility
    44.19 %
Dividend yield
    0 %
Risk-free interest rate
    1.87 %

Due to the limited time that the Company’s common stock has been publicly traded, management estimates expected volatility based on the average expected volatilities of a sampling of five companies with similar attributes to the Company, including: industry, size and financial leverage.

The Company has no historical basis for determining expected forfeitures and, as such, compensation expense for stock-based awards does not include an estimate for forfeitures.

Employee stock-based compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $50,961 and $49,698, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  As of December 31, 2009, total unrecognized estimated employee compensation cost related to stock options granted prior to that date was $288,274, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.5 years.

The weighted-average fair value on the grant date of options granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $0.26.  The Company did not grant any stock options during 2008.

The lease for Foothill Ranch, California, expires in July 2010.  The lease for Shelton, Connecticut, expires in April 2014.  The lease for Parsippany, New Jersey, expires June 2011.  The South Plainfield, New Jersey, facility lease is a month to month rental.  Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, was $321,014 and $302,624, respectively.

The aggregate remaining future minimum payments under these leases expiring after December 31, 2009, are as follows:

Years ending December 31:
     
2010

Contingencies - The Company is involved in certain litigation arising in the normal course of its business.  Management, having consulted with its counsel, believes these matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have any material adverse impact on the operating results or financial position of the Company.

Currently, the Company is a creditor in a bankruptcy filing from one of its customers which revolves around ‘preference payments’ received 90 days prior to the actual bankruptcy filing date.  The total amount of the potential claim is $182,000 which the Company has recorded as a liability as of December 31, 2009.  The Company is uncertain of the final resolution of this claim as of the date of this report but based upon counsel’s advice and knowledge of bankruptcy proceedings, it is probable that the Company will not be successful in defending the claim and will, ultimately be required to pay the sum to the court.

The Company’s deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available in certain jurisdictions to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. This determination is based on the expectation that related operations will be sufficiently profitable or various tax business and other planning strategies will enable the Company to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards. The Company’s evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets considers both positive and negative evidence. The weight given to potential effects of positive and negative evidence is based on the extent to which it can be objectively verified. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a valuation allowance related to the temporary items as it was determined it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to fully use the assets to reduce future tax liabilities.

Prior to the Merger discussed in Note 1, the Company filed its Federal and State income tax returns as a sub-chapter “S” corporation. Therefore, any income tax liability from its operations was payable directly by its shareholders. As a result of the Merger, the Company’s sub-chapter “S” corporation status was terminated on June 18, 2009. When the Company changes its tax status from a nontaxable sub-chapter “S” corporation to a taxable “C” corporation, deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be recognized for timing differences at the date that a nontaxable enterprise becomes a taxable enterprise. As a result, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1,937,000 with the offset being recorded as an income tax benefit with a valuation allowance reducing the effective tax asset and tax benefit by $1,769,000 for the period ended December 31, 2009.

The adoption of ASC 740-10 at January 1, 2009, had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.  At January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits recorded.  The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next twelve months. T he Company will recognize any interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

As of June 18, 2009, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in various state jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities for years prior to 2006.

The Board of Directors
DecisionPoint Systems Holding, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DecisionPoint Systems Holding, Inc., as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, revised as described in Note 15, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DecisionPoint Systems Holding, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the Company’s 2008 stock-based compensation liability, additional paid-in capital, retained (deficit), and selling, general and administrative expenses previously reported as none, $2,326,123, $(9,432,253), and $9,074,192, respectively, should have been restated as $271,690, $2,203,389, $(9,581,209), and $9,146,600, respectively.  Additionally, the Company’s 2007 stock-based compensation liability, subordinated debt, additional paid-in capital, retained (deficit), and general and administrative expenses previously reported as none, $2,866,024, $2,362,227, $(8,614,598), and $8,929,106, respectively, should have been restated as $307,794, $2,843,314, $2,153,691, $(8,691,146), and $9,001,513, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 -
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business - DecisionPoint Systems Holding, Inc. (“Company”) has two wholly owned subsidiaries, DecisionPoint Systems CA, Inc. (“DP CA”) formerly known as Creative Concepts Software, Inc. (“CCS”) and DecisionPoint Systems CT, Inc. (“DP CT”) formerly known as Sentinel Business Systems, Inc. (“SBS”).  The Company is a data collection systems integrator that sells and installs mobile devices, software, and related bar coding equipment, and provides radio frequency identification solutions, more commonly known as “RFID”.  The Company also provides custom programming solutions.

Effective September 2004, the Company was formed as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring 100% of the outstanding common shares of CCS.  The Company and its subsidiaries elected “S” corporations status for Federal and State income tax purposes effective at this time.  The Company also adopted a fiscal year end of December 31st.  The Company completed its acquisition of SBS in March 2006.

Basis of Presentation - The financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007, include the twelve months of consolidated activities of the Company.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) - In December 2003, the Company formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and loaned the ESOP $1,950,000 that the Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (“Trust”) used to acquire all of the Company’s stock from its former stockholder and the Company.

Use of Estimates - The presentation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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, and the accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of reporting the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all money market accounts purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounts Receivable - Current earnings are charged with an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable.  The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and specific account information available.  Accounts receivable are reflected in the balance sheets net of accumulated allowances of $575,000 and $530,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost (first-in, first-out [FIFO] method) or market.  Average cost includes materials, direct labor and an allocable portion of indirect manufacturing overhead.  Market is determined by comparison with recent purchases or realizable value.  The current earnings are charged with a valuation allowance for slow moving or obsolete items based on management’s best estimate.  The Company determines the allowance based on expected future usage and historical write-off experience available.  Inventories are reflected in the balance sheets net of a valuation allowance of $175,000 for both 2008 and 2007.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation and amortization expenses are calculated using straight-line methods over the following estimated useful lives, in years of the respective assets:

Computer equipment
3 to 5
Office furniture and fixtures
5 to 7
Tooling
7

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease or the life of the improvements.

Repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed in the period incurred.  At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with provisions of SFAS No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”).  SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of by sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has determined that no adjustment for impairment is required.

Goodwill - The Company fully adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”) under which goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement.  The Company tests goodwill for impairment using the two-step process prescribed in SFAS No. 142.  The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any.  For the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company performed the required impairment tests of goodwill based on the carrying values as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.  As a result of performing the test for potential impairment, the Company determined that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and therefore, it was not necessary to write down any of its goodwill.

Adoption of the above statement required certain judgments and estimates in the preparation of the financial statements.  Future events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with its acquired businesses are impaired.  Any resulting impairment loss could reduce the Company’s net worth and have an adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets representing deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue from sales of mobile devices and related bar coding equipment and prepackaged software are recognized upon delivery and/or installation to the customer, title has passed, the collection of the related receivable is deemed probable by management and no obligations to the customer remain outstanding.

Revenue derived from software customization and other professional services are rendered on a per-diem or fixed fee basis.  Per-diem billing is recognized as the services are delivered.  Fixed fee services are accounted for in conformity with either the percentage-of-completion or completed contract accounting method.  Percentage-of-completion generally uses input measures, primarily labor costs, where such measures indicate progress to date and provide a basis to estimate completion.

Revenue from maintenance and support agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Income Taxes - The Company provides for income taxes based on earnings reported for financial statement purposes.  Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary timing differences between book and taxable income.

Stock Options - In January 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive and Non-Incentive Stock Option Plan (“Plan”).  The purpose of the Plan is to further the growth and development of the Company by encouraging employees, officers, directors, and other persons who contribute or are expected to contribute materially to the success of the Company.

In 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123(R), Shared-Based Payments (“FAS 123(R)”) which requires the fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payments, and modified the Company’s previous accounting for stock options awarded to employees under APBO No. 25.

Reclassification - Certain amounts in prior years’ financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.

Profit Sharing Plan - The Company maintains a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan.  Employees who are 21 years of age and after 90 days of service are eligible to participate.  Each year, employees can make salary contributions up to 25% of their salary and the Company matches 100% of employee contributions up to 3% of eligible employee compensation and 50% of employee contributions over 3% to 5% for a total of 4% of employee compensation.  Employer contributions to the plan were $294,846 and $228,404, for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Vacation Expense - Employees earn credits during the current year for future vacation benefits.  The expense and corresponding liability are accrued when the vacation benefits are earned rather than when the vacations are paid.

Concentration of Risk - During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had sales to two customers, whom collectively represented a total of 23% of total revenues.  Accounts receivable due from these two customers at December 31, 2008, accounted for 30% of accounts receivable.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had sales to two customers, whom collectively represented a total of 21% of total revenues.  Accounts receivable due from these two customers at December 31, 2007, accounted for 27% of accounts receivable.  For each of the two periods discussed, the same two customers have been represented in both years.

In addition, the Company grants credit terms to its customers in the normal course of business on an unsecured basis and closely monitors the extension of credit to its customers while maintaining allowances for potential credit losses.  On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its trade accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs, collections and current credit considerations.

The Company purchases its inventory from four main suppliers.  Purchases from these suppliers have been consistent over the last two years.  The amount purchased from these suppliers represents 66% and 67% of inventory purchases for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts that have balances in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000.  The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings, and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION LIABILITY

During March 2006, the Company purchased the stock of SBS.  As part of the payment for the purchase of its common stock, certain employees and directors of SBS agreed to accept holding share equivalents (“holding shares”) in exchange for previously-issued options to acquire shares of SBS stock.  Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), the recipients of these holding shares were entitled to a cash settlement to be paid under one of three settlement date options determined by each recipient.  The value of the holding shares was established to be $380,000 as of March 2006.  For those recipients who elected to defer their cash payments, the share value is to be re-evaluated, and the liability adjusted to reflect changes in the fair value of the underlying stock based on the value of the ESOP share price as determined annually on December 31st of each of the subsequent years until maturity.  The Company has determined that the change in fair value of these holding shares has not recognized compensation expense relating to the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Recipients have agreed to receive settlement of holding shares totaling $180,000 under one of the settlement alternatives which provides for a pay out of 20% per year for five years.  The remaining $200,000 of holding shares was deferred by the recipients to be settled on the earlier of (a) May 1, 2010, (b) the recipient attains age 65, (c) the recipient terminates his/her employment with the Company or (d) the Company experiences a “change in control” (as defined by the Agreement).

ESOP PLAN

General Description - The Company established an ESOP that covers all non-union employees.  Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after three months of service.  Plan participants start vesting after two years of participation and are fully vested after six years of participation.  ESOP contributions are determined annually by the Board of Directors, and are at a minimum of $130,000 per year, to repay the ESOP Note Receivable (“Note”) held by the Company.

Purchase of Company Stock by the Plan - The Company loaned the Trust $1,950,000 during the period ended December 31, 2003, to enable the Trust to purchase 6,667 shares of the Company Common Stock from the prior owner for $1,300,000 and 3,333 shares from the Company for $650,000.  The Note bears an interest rate of 5.25% with annual principal and interest payments and has a 15-year term.  The Company’s contribution expense for 2008 was $178,498 representing $107,007 for ESOP principal payment and $71,491 for ESOP interest.  The Company’s contribution expense for 2007 was $178,498 representing $101,669 for ESOP principal payment and $76,829 for ESOP interest.  The Note is secured by the unallocated Company stock held by the Trust.

NOTE 10 -
STOCK OPTION PLAN

In 2006, the Company adopted FAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payments at fair value, but permitted nonpublic entities that used the intrinsic method of measuring the value of options, and the fair value method for pro forma disclosure purposes (as permitted under FAS 123) to apply its provisions prospectively to new awards only, and continue to account for any portion of prior awards outstanding at the date of initial application of FAS 123(R) using the accounting principles originally applied to those awards.

Options awarded in 2006, were valued using the “intrinsic value method” described below.

In 2006, the Company awarded 1,756 shares of incentive stock options to management and employees along with 180 shares of non-incentive stock options to a Director of the Company, for a total of 1,936 shares.  All of these stock options were granted at $321.60 per share.  At the date of grant, the Company’s common stock had an estimated fair value of $321.60 per share based on the latest ESOP Financial Advisor valuation report.

In 2007 and 2008, the Company did not award any shares of incentive stock options.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger, each share of Holding’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was exchanged for 153.04 shares of the Company’s common stock.  After the Merger, pursuant to an 8 for 1 stock dividend, each of the Company’s shares of common stock was exchanged for eight shares of common stock.  This transaction was treated as a stock split for accounting purposes. All references to share and per share amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the number of shares of DecisionPoint common stock issued pursuant to the Merger and the stock split.
 
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at the dates and for the periods indicated.  The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 2010 fiscal year or any other future interim periods.  Because the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under U.S.generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to June 18, 2009, reflect only the operations of DecisionPoint.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DecisionPoint. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts reported therein. A change in facts or circumstances surrounding the estimate could result in a change to estimates and impact future operating results.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2010.
 
Reference is made to the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, the Company did not identify any significant changes to the critical accounting policies discussed in its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Reclassification - Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) regarding improving disclosure about fair value measurements, which amends the existing disclosure requirements under fair value measurements and disclosures by adding required disclosure about items transferring into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements; adding separate disclosure about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to the Level 3 fair value measurements; and clarifying certain aspects of the existing disclosure requirements.  This ASU was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll-forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  This ASU does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption.  In periods after initial adoption, the ASU requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after the initial adoption.  The Company adopted the first component of the disclosure requirement under this ASU during the first quarter of 2010.  Its adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the Company will adopt the latter part of the disclosure requirement under this ASU in the first quarter of 2011, and does not anticipate its adoption will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 3 - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2010, the Company has negative working capital of $9.5 million and total stockholders’ deficit of $4.4 million.  Included in current liabilities is unearned revenue of $6.6 million, which reflects services that are to be performed in future periods but that have been paid and/or accrued for and therefore, do not generally represent additional future cash outlay requirements.  Included in current assets are deferred costs of $4.3 million which reflect costs paid for third party extended maintenance services that are being amortized over their respective service periods.
 
The Company has an $8.5 million line of credit, which provides for borrowings based upon eligible accounts receivable.  Availability under the line of credit was approximately $3.8 million as of September 30, 2010.

The Company believes that cash on hand, plus amounts anticipated to be generated from operations and from other potential financing transactions, whether from issuing additional long term debt or from the sale of equity securities through a private placement, as well as from borrowings available under the line of credit, will be sufficient to support its operations through September 30, 2011.  If the Company is unable to raise funds through private placements, any growth plans may need to be modified to the extent of available funding, if any.  In addition, the Company may need to reduce its selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
NOTE 4 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per share is computed similarly 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 shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
 
Excluded from the weighted-average number of basic and diluted shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are approximately 5,804,000 and 6,405,000 of unallocated ESOP shares.
 
For all periods presented, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of fully diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Potentially dilutive securities include:
 
   
September 30, 2010
   
September 30, 2009
 
Convertible preferred stock
    1,950,000       1,950,000

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company defines fair value as the amount at which an asset or liability could be bought or incurred or sold or settled in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  The fair value estimates presented in the following table are based on information available to the Company as of September 30, 2010.
 
The accounting standard regarding fair value measurements discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).  The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The following is a brief description of those three levels:

•  
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•  
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

•  
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The fair value of the warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance of subordinated convertible debt in June 2009, has been estimated by management using the Black-Scholes model, in the absence of a readily ascertainable market value.  In June 2010, the warrants were exercised and their fair value on the exercise date of $80,500 was reclassified from warrant liability to equity.
 
The following table provides a summary of the changes in the fair value of these warrants, as well as the realized loss attributable to the change in their fair value at:

NOTE 6–LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Company has an $8.5 million line of credit, which provides for borrowings based upon eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, interest accrues at prime plus 4% with a potential interest rate reduction of 0.50% based on future profitability as defined in the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and matures in March 2011.  As of September 30, 2010, the interest rate is 8%.  Availability under the line of credit was $3.8 million as of September 30, 2010.

The line of credit allows the Company to cause the issuance of letters of credit on account of the Company to a maximum of the borrowing base as defined in the Loan Agreement. No letters of credit were outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s interest expense, including fees paid to secure lines of credit, totaled $260,000 and $289,000, respectively.

Subordinated Convertible Debt - June 2009 – Immediately following the completion of the Merger in June 2009, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a convertible subordinated debenture (the “Note”) with a face value of $250,000, net of an Original Issue Discount of 10% and issuance costs of $32,500, with net proceeds totaling $192,500.  Interest on the Note accrues at 6% per annum and is due monthly.  Principal and any remaining accrued but unpaid interest were due in June 2010.  The Note converts at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share.  The terms of the Note contain a conversion adjustment provision in the event that the Company issues common shares at a price below the conversion price of the Note.

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company issued fully vested detachable warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  The warrants have a contractual term of five years.  The issuance of the warrants resulted in a note discount of $250,000 which has been amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the 12 month term of the Note.  The terms of the warrants contain a price adjustment provision in the event that the Company issues common shares at a price below the exercise price of the warrants.

In December 2009, the warrants were re-priced to $0.30 per share and the conversion price of the Note was reduced to $0.30 per share due to the issuance of common shares at $0.30 per share to the Senior Subordinated Note holders (see below). The Company determined that the fair value of the warrants was $80,500 and $72,710 on June 23, 2010 (the date exercised) and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Gains and losses on the change in the value of the warrants are recorded in other expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In June 2010, the Company issued 416,667 shares of common stock upon the partial conversion of the Note by the holder of $125,000 of principal, and paid the remaining Note balance of $125,000 in cash.  In addition, the holder exercised 500,000 warrants pursuant to a cashless exercise, resulting in the issuance of 134,146 common shares, based on a 10-day trailing average price of the Company’s common stock.  To induce the holder to exercise the warrants, the Company issued an additional 215,854 shares of common stock valued at $77,707 based on the closing price of the stock on the day prior  to the transaction. The additional compensation was recorded in other expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Senior Subordinated Notes - During December 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (‘Financing Agreement”) with four purchasers pursuant to which it issued $2,500,000 of non-convertible senior secured promissory notes (the “Notes”).  The Notes bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum and mature on May 31, 2011.  The Company has the option to extend the maturity date to November 30, 2011.  The Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are subordinated only to liens securing the Company’s obligations under the line of credit.

Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the Note holders.  The common stock was valued at $0.30 per share, the closing price of the stock on the date of the Financing Agreement, and is recorded as a deferred financing cost in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Expenses related to the issuance of the Notes of $177,193 and closing fees of $75,000 were also included in deferred financing costs which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.

As part of the Financing Agreement, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, of which 1,000,000 have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and 1,000,000 have an exercise price of $0.60 per share.  The warrants are fully vested and have a contractual term of five years.  The warrants were valued at $369,000 and have been recorded as a discount to the Notes and a credit to additional paid-in capital.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s interest expense, including all extension and commitment fees, totaled approximately $1,147,000 and $505,000, respectively.

NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
In January 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive and Non-Incentive Stock Option Plan (“2004 Plan”).  The 2004 Plan authorizes the issuance of 6,592,976 shares of common stock.  In June 2009, the Company established the DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan ("2009 Plan") to retain directors, executives and selected employees and consultants.  The total number of common shares which may be purchased or granted under the 2009 Plan shall not exceed 1,000,000.  Incentives under the 2004 and 2009 Plans (collectively, the “Plans”)  may be granted in any one or a combination of the following forms: (a) incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options; (b) stock appreciation rights; (c) stock awards; (d) restricted stock and (e) performance shares.

The Plans are administered by the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors, which determines recipients and types of awards to be granted, including the number of shares subject to the awards, the exercise price and the vesting schedule.  The total number of shares authorized under the Plans is 7,592,976.  The term of stock options granted under the Plans cannot exceed ten years.  Options shall not have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, and generally vest over a period of five years.  If the individual possesses more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant.
 
A summary of the status of the Plans as of September 30, 2010 and information with respect to the changes in options outstanding is as follows:

Due to the limited time that the Company’s common stock has been publicly traded, management estimates expected volatility based on the average expected volatilities of a sampling of five companies with similar attributes to the Company, including: industry, size and financial leverage.

The Company has no historical basis for determining expected forfeitures and, as such, compensation expense for stock-based awards does not include an estimate for forfeitures.

Employee stock-based compensation costs for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, was $12,741 and $13,002, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, it was $48,393 and $38,114, respectively.  Stock-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.  As of September 30, 2010, total unrecognized estimated employee compensation cost related to stock options granted prior to that date was approximately $62,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of approximately one year.
 
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in certain litigation arising in the normal course of its business.  Management, having consulted with its counsel, believes these matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have any material adverse impact on its operating results or financial position.

Currently, the Company is a creditor in a bankruptcy filing from one of its customers which revolves around ‘preference payments’ received 90 days prior to the actual bankruptcy filing date.  The total amount of the potential claim is $182,000 which the Company has recorded as a liability in 2009.  The Company is uncertain of the final resolution of this claim as of the date of this report but based upon counsel’s advice and knowledge of bankruptcy proceedings, it is probable that the Company will not have to repay the entire claim and will, ultimately be required to pay a portion to the court.  As such, in the current quarter the Company has reversed $88,000 of the liability.

The Company had sub-leased its facility in Foothill Ranch, CA from an affiliate (as described more fully below) at a monthly rental expense of $11,763, which expired in July 2010 and effectively terminated the sub-lease arrangement. The Company has entered into a new lease with the building’s landlord (an unrelated third party) under the same terms and conditions for a one year period subject to cancellation anytime after six months upon notice to the landlord.
 
NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY

The Company purchases and sells certain products and services from a separate corporate entity which is wholly owned by an ESOP.

OVERVIEW

We are an enterprise mobility systems integrator that sells and installs mobile computing and wireless systems that are used both within a company’s facilities in conjunction with wireless networks and in the field using carrier-based wireless networks. These systems generally include mobile computers, mobile application software, and related data capture equipment including bar code scanners and radio frequency identification readers (“RFID”).  As an integral part of the systems that we deploy, we provide professional services, proprietary and third party software and software customization.  We deliver to our customers the ability to make better, faster, and more accurate business decisions by implementing industry-specific, enterprise wireless and mobile computing systems for their front-line employees and fully integrating them into their back office systems.

We provide customers with everything they need through the process of achieving their enterprise mobility goals, starting with the planning of their systems, to the design and build stage, to the deployment and support stage, and finally to achieving their projected return on investment.  Our business designs, sells, installs and services voice and data communications products and systems for private networks and wireless broadband systems to a wide range of enterprise markets, including retail, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, as well as other commercial customers (which, collectively, are referred to as the “commercial enterprise market”).  We provide a complete line of deployment and integration services, including site surveys, equipment configuration and staging, system installation, depot services, software support, training programs and project management.

We have developed an ‘ecosystem’ of partners which we bring to every customer situation.  The standout partner in this ecosystem is the Motorola Enterprise Mobility Division, for whom we consistently are rated one of the nation’s top Value Added Resellers.  We also partner with other top equipment and software suppliers such as Zebra Technologies Corporation, Datamax - O’Neil  — a unit of the Dover Corporation, in addition to a host of specialized independent software vendors such as AirVersent, Antenna Software, GlobalBay, Mobileframe, Syclo and Wavelink.

Over the last several years, we have been repositioning ourselves to focus more on providing higher margin, customer-driven, mobile wireless and RFID solutions rather than providing simply hardware and customized software as a reseller.  This is the key to increasing our profitability and is also a major point of differentiation from our competitors. 

Transportation and logistics, and field services such as repair and maintenance, delivery and inspections are now emerging as great new markets.  This is primarily due to the arrival of robust, national wireless carrier networks that can reach a field-based mobile worker almost anywhere they are.  The general term for this new group of markets is referred to as “Field Mobility”.  Although it cuts across multiple industries and business applications, it has one common characteristic: goods are tracked or services are being performed by field-based workforces, not workers operating in a single location under one roof.  We believe that the growth of Field Mobility-based markets will be very significant over the next several years, and we have created a dedicated specialty business practice to focus on it.  This practice was established in 2008, with the express purpose of replicating our historical success with a new set of customers and challenges together with a new ecosystem of partners which includes the four major wireless carriers of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.  The carriers not only bring potential new opportunities to DecisionPoint but also have attractive programs which allow us to earn additional revenue from them when we facilitate service of mobile computers and devices on their networks.

Recent business developments during 2010

During the first quarter of 2010, we introduced our cutting edge self-service solution utilizing advanced Motorola technology known as “The Retail Mobile App Suite”.  These mobile applications were designed for retail stores to increase the productivity of store operations and deliver unsurpassed customer service by accelerating checkout while providing personalized service. In June 2010 we launched a branded solution for couriers – MobileArc, which is designed to enhance delivery of services by incorporating mobile computing and wireless technologies into their field-service workforce.

In the first quarter of 2010, we received a significant contract to provide an integrated and customized tracking solution for a logistics services company. In addition, we were chosen to design, implement and support an asset tracking system for a rewards program company in the waste management business.  This company has operations in numerous states and employs RFID technology as part of their offering to their end-users.

During the third quarter of 2010, we completed the deployment of over 11,000 devices for a logistics service company that is being managed by our MobileCare mobile device service offering. This contract was awarded during the first quarter of 2010.

Company history

Canusa Capital Corp. was incorporated on December 27, 2006 under the laws of the State of Delaware.  On June 17, 2009, Canusa entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Canusa, DecisionPoint Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canusa, and DecisionPoint Systems Holding, Inc., a California corporation.  Holding merged with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canusa under the name DecisionPoint Systems Group, Inc.  DecisionPoint has two wholly owned subsidiaries, DecisionPoint Systems CA, Inc. formerly known as Creative Concepts Software, Inc. which was originally incorporated in 1995 and DecisionPoint Systems CT, Inc. formerly known as Sentinel Business Systems, Inc. which was originally incorporated in 1982.  All costs incurred in connection with the Merger have been expensed.  Upon completion of the Merger, the Company adopted DecisionPoint’s business plan.
 
On June 18, 2009, we completed the Merger.   In accordance with the terms of the Merger, each share of Holding’s common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was exchanged for 153.04 shares of our common stock. After the Merger, pursuant to an 8 for 1 stock dividend, each share of common stock was exchanged for eight shares of common stock.  This transaction was treated as a stock split for accounting purposes.
 
All references to share and per share amounts in this Quarterly Report have been restated to retroactively reflect the number of shares of DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. common stock issued pursuant to the Merger and after the stock split.
 
Mergers and Acquisitions
 
We intend to pursue acquisitions of companies, technologies and complementary product lines that we believe will further our strategic objectives.  For the 9 months ending September 30, 2010, we recognized $0.8 million of non-recurring expenses for investment banking, legal and accounting fees related to the review of a potential acquisition that we are no longer pursuing, and other potential financing.

On October 20, 2010, we signed a merger agreement with Comamtech, Inc., (“Comamtech”) a publicly traded Canadian company. We anticipate that at the date of closing, Comamtech will have approximately $3.5 million in cash and installment receivables of $5.4 million. The transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition with the purchase price based on the closing price of the our stock at the date prior to the closing of the transaction. After the merger, the surviving legal entity will be named DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. Our entire management team will become the management team of the merged company.

 
17

 

Terms of the agreement call for Comamtech to acquire all of our outstanding common shares at an exchange ratio of 1 Comamtech share for every 8 outstanding common shares held by our shareholders, for a total issuance of approximately 4.2 million common shares. Outstanding warrants, options and preferred shares will be converted at the same ratio. Our current shareholders are expected to retain approximately 71% of the surviving company's outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. The transaction is intended to be a tax free exchange for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

The agreement is subject to shareholder approval by both companies as well as other customary closing conditions and both U.S. and Canadian regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the unaudited results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2009.  These should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
 
Comparison of the Quarters Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Revenues were $16.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $11.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $4.9 million or 42.3%. This improvement and the improvement in comparison to the first two quarters of 2010, is due in part from improved product availability from our principal vendor and slightly improving economic conditions, as well as from our continued emphasis on our marketing and sales efforts. We have experienced increases in traditional mobility solutions revenue which has historically generated lower gross margins, and while our field mobility solutions offerings with higher gross margins have continued to grow. In addition, we have identified opportunities in other marketplaces with “cloud computing” and associated professional services as a result of our position with field mobility solutions.

Cost of sales was $13.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $9.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $4.3 million or 47.1%.  Our gross profit was $3.0 and $2.4 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Although the actual dollar amount of gross profit was greater in the current quarter, our realized gross margin has decreased to 18.0% in 2010 from 20.6% in the comparable quarter of 2009.  The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to increased traditional mobility solutions arising from improving economic conditions and product availability.  Although we have seen improvement in product availability in the current quarter in 2010, we expect product availability issues to continue although on a decreasing basis through early 2011.  Lower utilization of our professional services resources as a result of increased traditional solution sales in the quarter has also had a negative impact on our gross margin.  The improving product availability had a bigger impact on our traditional mobility solutions, while product shortages continue to impact our higher margin solutions because limited product availability delayed delivery of our higher margin professional services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $0.5 million or 25.0%.  The increase in the current quarter reflects the on-going costs associated with being a public company for over a year as compared to the initial quarter in 2009.  We incurred $0.3 million of investor relations expense and other non-cash compensation costs for services provided to the Company.  Additionally, the Company has experienced an increase in legal and accounting expenses of approximately $0.2 million in the current period which was partly offset by a reversal of $88,000 of the liability in conjunction with a bankruptcy filing from one of our customers.

Other expenses were $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, consists primarily of interest expense, related to our line of credit and subordinated debt, which was $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in interest expense was the result of the issuance of the $2.5 million of subordinated notes in December 2009.  Other expense increased to $0.1 million from $0 in the same period due to the costs related to a potential acquisition during the current period.
 
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

Revenues were $40.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $5.5 million or 15.7%.  This improvement is due in part from improved product availability from our principal vendor and slightly improving economic conditions, as well as from our continued emphasis on our marketing and sales efforts. We experienced increases in traditional mobility solutions revenue which has historically generated lower gross margins, and our field mobility solutions offerings have continued to grow.

Cost of sales was $33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $4.9 million or 17.3%.  Our gross profit was $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $6.9 million for the same period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $0.6 million or 9.3%. Our gross margin has decreased to 18.4% in 2010, from 19.5% in the comparable period of 2009.  The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to increased traditional mobility solutions due to improving economic conditions and product availability. Although we have seen gradual improvement in product availability in the second half of 2010, we expect product availability issues to continue although on a decreasing basis through early 2011. The improvement in product availability had a bigger impact on our traditional mobility solutions, while product shortages continued to impact our higher margin solutions because limited product availability delayed delivery of our higher margin professional services.

 
19

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $6.1 million for the same period ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $1.2 million or 20.3%.  The increase in the current period was due to additional costs associated with being a public company which were not significant in the same period of 2009.  We incurred approximately $0.7 million of investor relations and other non-cash compensation costs for services provided to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which was immaterial for the same period of 2009.  Additionally, the Company has experienced a significant increase in legal and accounting expenses of approximately $0.5 million in the current period directly related to being a private company.

Other expenses were $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, consists primarily of interest expense related to our line of credit and subordinated debt, which was $1.4 million as compared to $0.8 million, respectively.  The increase in interest expense was the result of the issuance of the $250,000 of subordinated note at the end of September 2009 and the $2.5 million of subordinated notes in December 2009.  Other expense increased by $0.6 million from $0.2 in the same period due to the loss from the change in the fair value of a warrant liability and potential acquisition related costs during the period.  Non-recurring expenses for investment banking, legal and accounting fees related to a review of a potential acquisition that they are no longer pursuing at this time and related financing was $0.8 million for the period ending September 30, 2010.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash flow

The recent and on-going financial and credit crisis has reduced credit availability and liquidity for many companies.  Under these difficult circumstances we have succeeded in being able to increase our revenue approximately 16%.  The reduction in our gross margins was primarily due to an unexpected shortage of product availability from certain of our principal vendors in the beginning of the year.  Product availability has improved in the current period and along with improving economic conditions has had the effect of increasing our traditional mobility solutions revenue which has historically generated lower gross margins. We believe that our continued strategic shift to higher margin field mobility solutions with additional software and service revenues along with tighter cost control will sustain us through this challenging period. As a matter of course, we do not maintain significant cash balances on hand since we are financed by a line of credit.  Typically, any excess cash is automatically applied to the then outstanding line of credit balance.  As long as we continue to generate revenues, we are permitted to draw down on our line of credit to fund our normal working capital needs.  As such, we anticipate that we will have more than sufficient borrowing capacity to continue our operations in the normal course of business unless unforeseeable material economic events occur that are beyond our control.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  We have used, and plan to use, such cash for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

As of September 30, 2010, we have negative working capital of $9.5 million and total stockholders’ deficit of $4.4 million. Included in current liabilities is unearned revenue of $6.6 million, which reflects services that are to be performed in future periods but that have been paid and/or accrued for and therefore, do not generally represent additional future cash outlay requirements. Included in current assets are deferred costs of $4.3 million which reflect costs paid for third party extended maintenance services that are being amortized over their respective service periods. The net change in the unearned revenue, offset by the deferred costs, will provide a benefit in future periods as the amounts convert to realized revenue.

We have an $8.5 million line of credit, which provides for borrowings based upon eligible accounts receivable. Interest accrues at prime plus 4%, with a potential interest rate reduction of 0.50% based on future profitability. The amounts outstanding under the line of credit at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, were approximately $4.3 million with interest accruing at 8%, and $2.6 million with interest accruing at 8%, respectively. The line of credit has a tangible net worth financial covenant and other non-financial covenants with which we have been in compliance. Availability under this line of credit was approximately $3.8 million and $4.3 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

We believe that cash on hand, plus amounts anticipated to be generated from operations and from other potential financing transactions, whether from issuing additional long term debt or the sale of equity securities through a private placement, as well as borrowings available under our line of credit, will be sufficient to support our operations through September 30, 2011. If we are not able to raise funds through private placements, we may choose to modify our growth plans to the extent of available funding, if any, and further reduce our selling, general and administrative expenses.

 
20

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million, primarily due to a positive net change of non-cash related expenses totaling approximately $1.4 million, a $1.4 million increase in accounts receivable, which was offset by net increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable of $2.1 million and a $1.0 million decrease in unearned revenue.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily from the increase in our outstanding line of credit.  The line of credit increase of $1.7 million, was offset by the complete payoff and conversion of the $250,000 subordinated note from June 2009, and the remaining outstanding 2007 Bridge note balance of $85,000.  Additionally, we paid down $229,000 of the holding share liability and $779,000 of subordinated notes from December 2009. Additional funds from investing activities came from certain of our Officers and Directors whom exercised stock options for a total of $611,000 during the third quarter.  The proceeds were used to pay down the related party interest and payable at September 30, 2010.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $0.5 million, primarily due to the increase in net changes in working capital of $0.6 million and non-cash related expense totaling approximately $0.2 million.  Net cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a net reduction in the amount outstanding debt during the period.  Additionally during this period, $2.8 million of subordinated convertible debt was converted into common shares, we issued $250,000 in a convertible subordinated note, we sold 560 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $560,000 and $415,000 of the 2007 Bridge note principal was converted into 415 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods.  In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.  In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.  We believe that of our critical accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and estimation:
 
Accounts Receivable
 
We have policies and procedures for reviewing and granting credit to all customer accounts, including:
 
●  
Credit reviews of all new customer accounts,
 
●  
Ongoing credit evaluations of current customers,
 
●  
Credit limits and payment terms based on available credit information,
 
●  
Adjustments to credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, and
 
●  
An active collection effort by regional credit functions, reporting directly to the corporate financial officers.

We reserve for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and specific customer collection issues. Accounts receivable reserves as of September 30, 2010, were $315,000, or 3.0% of the balance due.  Accounts receivable reserves as of December 31, 2009, were $332,000 or 3.6% of the balance due.  We believe our reserve level is appropriate considering the quality of the portfolio as of September 30, 2010.  While credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that our credit loss experience will continue to be consistent with historical experience due to the current economic recession.

 
21

 

Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  We periodically review our inventories and makes provisions as necessary for estimated obsolete and slow-moving goods.  We mark down inventory to an amount equal to the difference between cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demands, selling prices and market conditions.  The creation of such provisions results in a write-down of inventory to net realizable value and a charge to cost of sales.
 
Revenue recognition
 
Revenues are generated through product sales, warranty and maintenance agreements, software customization, and professional services.  Product sales are recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer, which generally happens at the point of shipment provided that no significant obligations remain; (3) the price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  We generate revenues from the sale of extended warranties on wireless and mobile hardware and systems.  Revenue related to extended warranty and service contracts is recorded as unearned revenue and is recognized over the life of the contract and may be liable to refund a customer for amounts paid in certain circumstances.
 
We also generate revenue from software customization and professional services on either a fee for-service or fixed fee basis.  Revenue from software customization and professional services that is contracted as fee for-service, also referred to as per-diem billing, is recognized in the period in which the services are performed or delivered.  Fixed fee services are accounted for in conformity with either the percentage-of-completion or the completed-contract method.  Revenues recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, are measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date, primarily labor costs, to total costs estimated to be incurred for each contract.  Management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
We record the fair value of stock-based payments as an expense in our consolidated financial statements. We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This valuation model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation. These variables and assumptions include the weighted-average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding, the volatility of our common stock, the risk-free interest rate and the estimated rate of forfeitures of unvested stock options. Additional information on the variables and assumptions used in our stock-based compensation are described in Note 9 of the accompanying notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2010.

Employees

As of September 30, 2010, DecisionPoint had a total of 63 full time employees and 1 part time non-union employee.  We have not experienced any work disruptions or stoppages and we consider relations with our employees to be good.

Inflation
 
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business or operating results during the periods presented.

Based on the foregoing evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

Currently, the Company is a creditor in a bankruptcy filing from one of its customers which revolves around ‘preference payments’ received 90 days prior to the actual bankruptcy filing date.  The total amount of the potential claim is $182,000 which the Company has recorded as a liability in 2009.  The Company is uncertain of the final resolution of this claim as of the date of this report but based upon counsel’s advice and knowledge of bankruptcy proceedings, it is probable that the Company will not have to repay the entire claim and will, ultimately be required to pay a portion to the court.  As such, in the current quarter the Company has reversed $88,000 of the liability.

ITEM 1A.              RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010.

ITEM 2.                 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During February 2010, we issued 310,000 common shares to two vendors in lieu of cash payment for services rendered.  The total value of the shares issued was $99,200 based on the share price of our common stock on the date of the agreements.

During April 2010, we issued 375,000 common shares to a vendor in lieu of cash payment for services rendered.  The total value of the shares issued was $150,000 based on the share price of our common stock on the date of the agreements.

During June 2010, we issued 126,125 common shares to two vendors in lieu of cash payment for services rendered.  The total value of the shares issued was $34,560 based on the share price of our common stock on the date of the agreements or the respective vesting period.

During June 2010, we issued 416,667 shares of common stock upon the conversion by the holder of $125,000 of our debt and 134,146 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of certain warrants and 215,854 shares issued as an inducement to the holder to exercise the warrant.  The total value of the 215,854 shares issued was $77,707, based on the share price of our common stock on the date of issuance.

During August and September 2010, we issued 2,952,625 shares of common stock upon the exercise of employee stock options.

These securities were issued in transactions that were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All of the investors were knowledgeable, sophisticated and had access to comprehensive information about the Company and represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to distribute or sell the securities. The Company placed legends on the securities stating that the securities were not registered under the Securities Act and set forth the restrictions on their transferability and sale.

Idem
(30)  A corporation shall not make a payment to a dissenting shareholder under this section if there are reasonable grounds for believing that,

the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities. R.S.O. 1990, c. B.16, s. 185 (30).
 
Court order
(31)  Upon application by a corporation that proposes to take any of the actions referred to in subsection (1) or (2), the court may, if satisfied that the proposed action is not in all the circumstances one that should give rise to the rights arising under subsection (4), by order declare that those rights will not arise upon the taking of the proposed action, and the order may be subject to compliance upon such terms and conditions as the court thinks fit and, if the corporation is an offering corporation, notice of any such application and a copy of any order made by the court upon such application shall be served upon the Commission. 1994, c. 27, s. 71 (24).
