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 May 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, among other things: (i) Comamtech (through a wholly-owned subsidiary) will amalgamate with DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (“DecisionPoint”); (ii) 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; and (iii) Comamtech will be continued under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Continuance”).
 
The accompanying management information circular contains a detailed description of the Arrangement, as well as detailed information regarding Comamtech and DecisionPoint. Shareholders previously approved the Arrangement and Continuance as separate special resolutions on March 2, 2011. On March 23, 2011, Comamtech announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) had agreed to adjourn the hearing for a final order. Comamtech and DecisionPoint agreed that it was in the best interests of Shareholders to amend the adjustment clause found in the previous plan of arrangement in order to more accurately reflect the value of Comamtech’s assets.
 
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 a fairness opinion dated April 8, 2011 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.
 
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.
 
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

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 May 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.
 
 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.

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.
 
On January 21, 2011 the Board of Directors prepared a management information circular which was sent to Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement Agreement. The special meeting of Shareholders was originally scheduled to be held on February 18, 2011. On February 17, 2011, the special meeting was adjourned to March 2, 2011, at which time Shareholders approved the Arrangement and Continuance as separate special resolutions with 99.07% and 99.08% of the votes cast in favour of each of the special resolutions, respectively.
 
On March 23, 2011, Comamtech announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) had agreed to adjourn the hearing for a final order. Comamtech and DecisionPoint agreed that it was in the best interests of Shareholders to amend the adjustment clause found in the previous plan of arrangement in order to more accurately reflect the value of Comamtech’s assets.
 
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. Shareholders are entitled to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution. See “Right to Dissent” for a discussion of such rights.
 
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 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 a supplementary 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. On April 8, 2011, ModelCom provided the Board of Directors with the Fairness of Opinion in order to: (i) confirm the two previous fairness opinions; and (ii) take into account the amendments to the Plan of Arrangement. 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”.

After the Arrangement, the Surviving Corporation shall hire an auditor, licensed by the U.S. Public Corporation Accounting Oversight Board, to perform an audit (in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) of the balance sheet of Comamtech as of the Closing Date (the “Opening Balance Sheet Audit”).  Such Opening Balance Sheet Audit shall include line items for Comamtech’s assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of the Closing Date; Comamtech shall provide the Surviving Corporation’s auditors and accounting and other personnel access to the books and records of Comamtech and any other documents or information reasonably requested.  On or before August 25, 2011, the Surviving Corporation shall prepare a statement (the “Purchase Price Statement”) setting forth its good faith computation of the shareholders’ equity as of August 15, 2011.  The Purchase Price Statement shall include the balances from the Opening Balance Sheet Audit with adjustments for realized and unrealized gains and losses and income and expenses from the disposition and maintenance of the assets and liabilities on the Opening Balance Sheet Audit.  The Surviving Corporation shall deliver such Purchase Price Statement to the Shareholder Representatives together with such schedules and data with respect to the determination thereof as may be appropriate to support the calculations set forth in the Purchase Price Statement.

Any Objection Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and (ii) specify the line item or items in the Purchase Price Statement with which the Shareholder Representatives disagree and the amount of each such line item or items as calculated by the Shareholder Representatives. The Shareholder Representatives shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts included in the Purchase Price Statement except such items that are specifically disputed in the Objection Notice. If the Shareholder Representatives fail to deliver an Objection Notice to the Surviving Corporation within 10 days after receipt of the Purchase Price Statement by the Shareholder Representatives, the Purchase Price Statement shall be deemed final and binding on the Comamtech Shareholders and the DecisionPoint Shareholders;
 
(iii)  
If the Shareholder Representatives deliver an Objection Notice to the Purchase Price Statement within 10 days following the receipt of such statement, then the Shareholder Representatives and the Surviving Corporation shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve their disagreement. Should such negotiations not result in an agreement within ten days after delivery of an Objection Notice, the issues remaining in dispute shall be submitted to a neutral auditor selected by
 
 
 
6

 
 
 
the Shareholder Representatives and Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Neutral Auditor”), each acting reasonably.  Within 5 days of selecting the Neutral Auditor, the Shareholder Representatives shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Neutral Auditor such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as they may deem necessary or appropriate or as the Neutral Auditor may request and that are available to that party or its agents. Further, the Shareholder Representatives shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Neutral Auditor any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Neutral Auditor, provided, however, that no party shall have any discussions with the Neutral Auditor without first providing the other parties with notice of such discussions and a reasonable opportunity to attend, observe or otherwise participate in such discussions. The Neutral Auditor will deliver to the Shareholder Representatives, as promptly as practicable and in any event within 21 days after its appointment, a written determination (which determination shall include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and shall be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Auditor by the Shareholder Representatives of the disputed items. In resolving any disputed item, the Neutral Auditor: (i) shall be bound by the principles set forth in this Section and (ii) shall limit its review to the line items and items specifically set forth in and properly raised in an Objection Notice. The Neutral Auditor’s determination shall be final and binding on the Comamtech Shareholders and the DecisionPoint Shareholders;
 
(iv)  
Upon the agreement of the Shareholder Representatives or the decision of the Neutral Auditor, or if the Shareholder Representatives fail to deliver an Objection Notice within the 10 day period provided in this section, the Purchase Price Statement, as adjusted (if necessary), including the final (as adjusted pursuant hereto) shareholders’ equity balance (the “Final Shareholders’ Equity Balance”) shall constitute the final shareholders’ equity balance for all purposes hereunder;
 
(v)  
If the Final Shareholders’ Equity Balance exceeds $7,633,000, then the shareholders of Comamtech at the Record Date shall be entitled to receive on a pro rata basis, to be issued as additional consideration, shares equal to the Additional Comamtech Shares on Schedule 5 according to the Final Shareholders’ Equity Balance;
 
(vi)  
If the Final Shareholders’ Equity Balance is less than $7,233,000, then the shareholders of DecisionPoint at the Record Date shall be entitled to receive on a pro rata basis, to be issued as additional consideration, shares equal to the Additional DecisionPoint Shares on Schedule 5 according to the Final Shareholders’ Equity Balance;
 
(vii)  
The Additional Comamtech Shares or Additional DecisionPoint Shares, if any, shall be distributed in accordance with the foregoing on or before October 31, 2011;
 
(viii)  
It is agreed that any costs related to the audit shall not be accrued as liabilities in the Opening Balance Sheet Audit or in the Final Shareholders’ Equity Balance.

7

 
 
 
being understood that such professional advisory expenses shall in no event exceed $10,000.
 
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, Comamtech may be entitled to receive from DecisionPoint an amount of US$500,000 as a non-completion fee to be paid in immediately available funds, in addition to an amount of up to US$125,000 to cover certain expenses.
 
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$900,000, 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.
 
 Amendment No. 2 to the Arrangement Agreement
 
On March 22, 2011, Comamtech, DecisionPoint and MergerCo entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Arrangement Agreement. The amendments brought to the Arrangement Agreement relate principally to certain post-closing adjustments in the Plan of Arrangement whereby Shareholders may be entitled to receive Additional Comamtech Shares or DecisionPoint Shareholders may be entitled to receive
 
 
 
8

 
 
Additional DecisionPoint Shares, depending on the Final Sharehlder’s Equity Balance. Any such additional shares are to be distributed on or before October 31, 2011.
 
In addition, the Continuance is now an integral part of the Plan of Arrangement in order to satisfy requests from the SEC.
 
 Amendment No. 3 to the Arrangement Agreement
 
On April 8, 2011, Comamtech, DecisionPoint and MergerCo entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Arrangement Agreement. The amendments under Amendment No.3 related principally to the Plan of Arrangement. See “Particulars of the Arrangement – Arrangement Steps”, “Arrangement Agreement – Amendment No. 3 to the Arrangement Agreement” and the Plan of Arrangement, attached hereto as Schedule B.
 
 Amendment No. 4 to the Arrangement Agreement
 
On April 13, 2011, Comamtech, DecisionPoint and MergerCo entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Arrangement Agreement. The amendments under Amendment No.4 provide for the addition of dissent rights to the Plan of Arrangement. See the Plan of Arrangement, attached hereto as Schedule B.
 
 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 April 14, 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 C 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 May 20, 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 May 20, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). If the Final Order is obtained on May 20, 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 June 15, 2011. See “Particulars of the Arrangement – Timing”.
 
 The Continuance and Domestication
 
If the Arrangement Resolution is passed by Shareholders at the Meeting, Comamtech will be authorized 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 A 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 Arrangement 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”.
 
Procedure for the Continuance to Become Effective
 
If the Arrangement 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 89,007 Comamtech Shares to Mr. Goldman upon the closing of the completion of the Arrangement.
 
Pursuant to Mr. Jean-Rock Fournier’s terms of employment, if his employment as Secretary, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer is terminated by Comamtech (except for cause) 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 153,883 Comamtech Shares at Closing of the transaction.

 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.

 Recent Developments
 
Comamtech has been advised that Sigma and DecisionPoint will be entering into a non-binding letter of intent whereby Sigma would inject DecisionPoint with US$4,000,000 in financing in exchange for: (i) 4,000 Preferred Shares at price of $1,000 per DecisionPoint Preferred Share; and (ii) 425,000 DecisionPoint Shares. 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$4,000,000 with a conversion price of US$3.20, it will result in an additional dilution to Shareholders of 4.7% on a fully diluted in-the-money basis. The Sigma transaction is referenced in 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”.

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 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.
 
 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
 
(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.
 
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
 
Comamtech has fixed April 18, 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 RMG/1454/GPD which holds 435,885 Comamtech Shares, representing approximately 20.8% of the total issued and outstanding Comamtech Shares.
 
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.
 
 
 
16

 
 
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 153,883 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 a supplementary 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. On April 8, 2011, ModelCom provided the Board of Directors with the Fairness of Opinion in order to: (i) confirm the two previous fairness opinions; and (ii) take into account the amendments to the Plan of Arrangement. 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 E.
 
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.
 
 
 
17

 
 
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.
 
On January 21, 2011 the Board of Directors prepared a management information circular which was sent to Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement Agreement. The special meeting of Shareholders was originally scheduled to be held on February 18, 2011. On February 17, 2011, the special meeting was adjourned to March 2, 2011, at which time Shareholders approved the Arrangement and Continuance as separate special resolutions with 99.07% and 99.08% of the votes cast in favour of each of the special resolutions, respectively.
 
On March 23, 2011, Comamtech announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) had agreed to adjourn the hearing for a final order. Comamtech and DecisionPoint agreed that it was in the best interests of Shareholders to amend the adjustment clause found in the previous plan of arrangement in order to more accurately reflect the value of Comamtech’s assets.
 
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;
 
 
 
18

 
 
(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;
 
(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.
 
Shareholders are entitled to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution.  See “Right to Dissent” for a discussion of such rights.
 
 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 E. The Fairness Opinion is subject to the restrictions, assumptions and limitations contained therein. Shareholders are urged to read the Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

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.
 
 
 
25

 
 
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 is 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 May 20, 2011. If the Final Order is obtained on May 20, 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 June 15, 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”.
 
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”.
 
 

1 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.

accept, recommend, approve, agree to, endorse, or propose publicly to accept, recommend, approve, agree to, or endorse any Acquisition Proposal or agreement in respect thereto;
 
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:

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, if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated pursuant
 
 
 
32

 
 
 
to paragraph 7.1.2(f) thereof, DecisionPoint pays the reverse termination fee and expenses fee pursuant to Section 7.3.2 thereof.
 
(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.
 
 
 
33

 
 
 Termination of the Arrangement Agreement
 
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;
 
(c)  
by Comamtech upon the occurrence of a Comamtech Damages Event; and
 
(d)  
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.
 
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 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. In addition to and concurrently with the payment of the reverse termination fee, DecisionPoint shall pay by wire transfer to Comamtech (or to whom Comamtech may direct in writing) up to US$125,000 to cover expenses related to the implementation of this Arrangement Agreement in immediately available funds to an account designated by Comamtech.
 
Subject to the obligations of DecisionPoint to pay the US$125,000 expenses fee above, each party shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement.
 
 
 
34

 
 
 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.
 
 Amendment No. 2 to the Arrangement Agreement
 
On March 22, 2011, Comamtech, DecisionPoint and MergerCo entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Arrangement Agreement. The amendments brought to the Arrangement Agreement relate principally to certain post-closing adjustments in the Plan of Arrangement whereby Shareholders may be entitled to receive Additional Comamtech Shares or DecisionPoint Shareholders may be entitled to receive Additional DecisionPoint Shares, depending on the Final Sharehlder’s Equity Balance. Any such additional shares are to be distributed on or before October 31, 2011.
 
In addition, the Continuance is now an integral part of the Plan of Arrangement in order to satisfy requests from the SEC.
 
 Amendment No. 3 to the Arrangement Agreement
 
On April 8, 2011, Comamtech, DecisionPoint and MergerCo entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Arrangement Agreement. The amendments under Amendment No.3 related principally to the Plan of Arrangement, which include, among other changes, the addition of the Comamtech Series B Preferred Shares, the addition of certain closing payments, and modifications to the share capital of the Amalgamated Corporation. See “Particulars of the Arrangement – Arrangement Steps” and the Plan of Arrangement, attached hereto as Schedule B.
 
 Amendment No. 4 to the Arrangement Agreement
 
On April 13, 2011, Comamtech, DecisionPoint and MergerCo entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Arrangement Agreement. The amendments under Amendment No.4 provide for the addition of dissent rights to the Plan of Arrangement. See the Plan of Arrangement, attached hereto as Schedule B.
 
THE CONTINUANCE AND DOMESTICATION
 
If Shareholders approve the Arrangement Resolution, Comamtech shall be authorized 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 A, 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.
 
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 A.  The certificate of incorporation and the continuance by-laws are intended to reflect the requirements of Delaware law.
 
 Effects of Change of Jurisdiction
 
Comamtech is currently governed by the provisions of the OBCA.  If the Arrangement 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 Arrangement, 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 Arrangement 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 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”.
 
Shareholders are entitled to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution.  See “Right to Dissent” for a discussion of such rights.
 
 Procedure for the Continuance to Become Effective
 
If the Arrangement 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
 
 
 
36

 
 
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
 
 
 
37

 
 
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.

However, a shareholder is not entitled to dissent if an amendment to the articles is effected by a court order approving reorganization or by a court order made in connection with an action for an oppression remedy. The OBCA provides these dissent rights for both listed and unlisted shares.

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.

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.
 
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.
 
 
 
43

 
 
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 and preferred shares in the capital of the Amalgamated Corporation. Comamtech will be deemed to dispose of its 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 preferred 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 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 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 the shares 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.
 
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)
 
44

 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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:
 
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 and preferred shares of the Amalgamated Corporation shall be set to an amount equal to the paid up capital of the preferred 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.
 
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).
 
 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
 
 
49

 
 
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 89,007 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 153,883 Comamtech Shares at Closing of the transaction.

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 that Sigma and DecisionPoint will be entering into a non-binding letter of intent whereby Sigma would inject DecisionPoint with US$4,000,000 in financing in exchange for (i) 4,000 Preferred Shares at price of $1,000 per DecisionPoint Preferred Share; and (ii) 425,000 DecisionPoint Shares. The DecisionPoint Preferred Shares under the term sheet are convertible into DecisionPoint Shares at a fixed price of US$3.20 per share.
 
 
58

 
 
The investment is conditional on the successful completion of the Arrangement 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$4,000,000 with a conversion price of US$3.20 per share, it will result in an additional dilution to Shareholders of 4.7% 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.
 
Both CMAC and DecisionPoint are in the same vertical markets, and the acquisition is intended to broaden our professional services and software integration. Our combined teams will work together to complement each other’s strengths.  The acquisition of CMAC also expands our data base of professional services contractors who are available on an as needed basis, thereby enabling us to be more responsive and act more quickly to assist our customers.
 
CMAC is committed to improving its clients’ competitive position by developing operational excellence strategies and implementing best-in-class supply chain planning, execution and automated technology solutions.  Its focus is on providing integration and implementation services for customer supply chain management applications ranging from Warehouse Management Systems (“WMS”), Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”), to Transportation Management Systems (“TMS”) as well as others.  CMAC provides highly skilled resources to manage or augment customer project teams during the design, development and/or deployment stages.
 
CMAC’s professional services can be summarized as follows:

 Description of the Business
 
Overview
 
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, inside and outside of the ‘four-walls’.  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.  Our solutions solve this productivity issue.  As a result our customers are able to move their business decision points closer to their own customers who in turn, drive their own improved productivity and operational efficiencies.
 
 
60

 
 
We accomplish this by providing our 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”).  Our business designs, sells, installs and services voice and data communications products and systems for private networks and wireless broadband systems for 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”).
 
 A graphical view of our business process is presented below:
 
Graphic
 
 We deliver a solution that typically consists of a combination of the following:
 
●           specialized mobile computers
 
●           a wireless network infrastructure (or the use of a national wireless carrier)
 
●           specialized mobile application software
 
●           integration software to our customer’s existing enterprise systems, and
 
●           a range of professional services needed to make it all ‘work’
 
●           industry and/or software specific consulting and integration services.
 
We employ a highly talented and experienced staff of consultants (both in-house and on a contract basis), architects, engineers, and support personnel to guide our customers through this process to success.
 
During the business cycle our highly experienced professionals will:
 
●           consult with customers about their business needs
 
●           design the overall enterprise mobile solution to fit the needs
 
●           build or acquire the software needed for the solution
 
 
61

 
 
●           acquire the wireless and mobile computers needed
 
●           deliver the services to deploy it all, and
 
●           support the system after it has been installed.
 
 
 
 Bringing mobile computing to the front-line enterprise worker is orders of magnitude more challenging than delivering similar technology to the consumer.  Unlike the individual consumer, a business enterprise has significant performance, reliability and security requirements.  In addition, any system must be integrated with the complex enterprise systems already in place.  Therefore, we must possess the required knowledge and be able to manage a myriad of technical details and nuances to achieve our customer’s desired outcome.
 
We have developed an ‘ecosystem’ of partners which we bring to every customer situation.  The standout partner in this ecosystem is Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola”) for which we consistently are one of the nation’s top Value Added Resellers (“VAR”) and member of their Partner Pinnacle Club program.  We 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, as well as a host of specialized Independent Software Vendors (“ISV”) such as AirVersent, Inc., Antenna Software, GlobalBay Mobile Technologies, Inc., 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 us to extend their business.  This applies not only to Motorola with wireless and mobile computing technology, but also to other high tech manufacturers who produce printers, labels, RFID and other technology products.
 
As our markets have grown and have become more sophisticated, we have grown both in size and in the nature and type of services offered.  As our customers come to depend more and more on enterprise wireless and mobile computing to run their businesses, we continue to deliver and expand our services to keep those systems running.  We are actively moving into the areas of enterprise managed services, consulting services and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) to continue to deliver our value and build ongoing revenue streams for the Company.
 
We have made several investments in SaaS offerings in response to what we believe will be a fundamental shift in our customers’ buying behavior.  And we are 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.  In fact, there can be major cost savings for them if they choose instead to receive part of the value of what we have to offer in a SaaS model.  We are a believer in this theory ourselves, as we are 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, Android, RIM and iPhone 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).
 
 
62

 
 
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 us to build enterprise wireless and mobile computing solutions for our customers’ needs.
 
Determining which enterprise wireless and mobile solutions we deliver to our customers highly depends on several key factors including the customer’s industry.  It requires that we possess domain expertise in our customers’ industries.  It also requires business application software expertise, general industry and software specific knowledge and mobile computing and wireless networking technical acumen.
 
The customer’s industry is very important because unlike generic wireless business applications such as email, the applications that we provide 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 such as couriers, but it must also be tailored to each specific courier company depending on how they run their business process.
 
The key to delivering customer solutions 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 our years of experience, our talented professionals and our highly developed ecosystem of partners.
 
We provide a complete line of consulting, 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, we have been repositioning ourselves to focus more on providing higher margin consulting services along with 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.  The acquisition of CMAC is expected to be instrumental in this repositioning. Small resellers and large catalog resellers simply do not want to, or cannot, provide the types of custom, hands-on services needed to make these systems a success.  Our major ecosystem partners, such as Motorola, recognize this and have come to depend more and more on us to deliver the business value that their products enable.
 
By referring more end-user demand to DecisionPoint, manufacturers can leverage our personnel and skills to provide customers with enhanced personal service.  With deep expertise about specific customers’ operations and industry, 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 we participate.
 
We benefit 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, such as DecisionPoint, who invest in their programs and technologies.  As a result, we train our personnel, which differentiate us from other potential competitors who may not have the same training as our personnel.
 
 
 
63

 
 
Within our commercial enterprise market, we believe 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 our products and services continue to expand.  The markets in which we compete 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.
 
Our strategy in our target market is to enable our 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:
 
1.           Vertical market industries which require specific domain expertise.
 
2.           Industries which track goods or deliver a service in the field (or both).
 
3.           Industries which have a significant group of mobile workers, whether they operate primarily in one place or in the field.
 
4.           Manufacturing operations where there’s real-time interaction between the shop floor employees and the management decision makers.
 
5.           Manufacturing and assembly operations that are moving more and more to a Just-in-Time (“JIT”) operation where accurate data is critical.
 
In the commercial enterprise market, our 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 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.  In addition, 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 us and comprise a significant portion of our business, new markets are emerging which hold as great or even greater promise than our historical markets.
 
 Transportation, 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.
 
 
64

 
 
DecisionPoint’s Field Mobility Practice
 
We believe that the growth of Field Mobility based markets will be so significant over the next several years, that 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 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.
 
We are not alone in our expectations of growth for Field Mobility.  Motorola, and more specifically, the newly split entity, Motorola Solutions, has demonstrated through its strong on-going support, that it’s 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, we utilize several avenues to provide the mobile software solutions to meet our customers’ needs depending on their situation and requirements.
 
·  
Software sourced from specialized ISV’s.  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 us or by the ISV themselves under contract to us.  We have built a network of ISVs in its ecosystem specializing in Field Mobility applications for this purpose.
 
 
65

 
 
·  
CASE Tools/Pathfinder™ is our 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.
 
We have multiple software options available which gives us the ability to meet the customer’s total need at the best value to them.  We intentionally have made a point not to be “married” to any single vendor, product offering and/or solution in order to be focused on the customer’s ultimate needs.
 
Professional Services
 
Our professional services offerings fall into one of three categories: business consulting, technical consulting and technical development.  Business consulting is where we engage with our customer to help them understand the potential ROI of implementing mobile computing, or supply chain services as examples, for a particular business process.  Technical consulting services help determine the technology to be used and how it is to be implemented.  We utilize our proven evaluation techniques, tools, and experience to recommend the optimal technology solution that provides organizational, operational and system improvements to our customers.  We take advantage of our database and assessment methodology to quickly identify viable solutions for client operations.  Once the solution is identified and selected, we apply our proven fast track “3D” (Define, Design, Deliver) implementation methodology to insure project success.  Technical development includes actual software programming and configuration of the mobile computing, WMS and TMS application solutions as well as interface software needed to connect to our customer’s existing back-office systems.
 
The Company’s full suite of professional services allow for many “areas of engagement” with our customer base.  We can initiate and engage on an opportunity in several areas of the project lifecycle.  The professional services listed below allow us to provide value to organizations regardless of where the customer is in their project evaluation/implementation or rollout:
 

·                 Engineering & Material Handling
·                 Middleware Applications
·                 Facility Automation
·                 Site Surveys & Installation
·                 Supply Chain Strategy
·                 Change Management
·                 Six Sigma & Lean Six Sigma
·                 Resource Augmentation
·                 WMS/3PL Selection & Support
·                 Temp-to-Perm

Ongoing Support
 
CMAC, along with one of our ISV Partners, offers Near-Shoring services for application development and host application programming.  Our partnership allows us to offer extremely competitive resource rates for application development, scripting, code design, and custom application development.  This area has significant growth potential as more companies are looking to move application development closer to their operations where the time zones and language barriers are not an issue.  We also have Tier 3 WMS ISV partners for traditional WMS turnkey solutions as well as SaaS inventory management hosted solutions
 
Rollout, Support and Management Services
 
These services involve 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.
 
We offer 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 we actually activate 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 us from the carriers when we activate mobile computers and/or devices to operate on the carrier networks.
 
In addition, we offer staff augmentation services to customers that allow for shorter term projects or implementations, workflow management teams for cyclical business customers, as well as contract-to-hire resources that engage on supply chain projects and can convert to a permanent position at the customer location, which helps significantly with the knowledge transfer as well as capital knowledge base.  Contract-to-hire solutions have proven beneficial for customers to overcome workforce issues during hiring freezes by allowing them to deploy solutions and then convert resources to full-time status upon expiration of the hiring freeze.
 
Finally, we are adding offerings in the managed services and SaaS categories.  Increasingly, customers want to outsource various aspects of operating and maintaining their enterprise mobile systems.  We are 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
 
Our hardware reseller sales strategy is designed to avoid competing for hardware sales based solely on low cost provider status.  Throughout the sales cycle, we are diligent to point out to a customer that hardware is only one component of the complete solution they are looking for.  
 
 
67

 
 
By bundling the software and services, mentioned above together with the hardware, we position ourselves as the value-added solution provider.  This positioning differentiates us from the low-price, ‘discount’ hardware resellers who do not have this capability.
 
We offer the following types of enterprise wireless and mobile computing hardware on a cost competitive basis:
·
Handheld and vehicle-mounted, ruggedized mobile computers
·
802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN (“Wi-Fi”) infrastructure
·
Mesh networking wireless infrastructure, such as the Motorola Canopy product line
·
RFID tag readers and related infrastructure
·
GPS receivers
·
Two-way radios
·
Handheld bar code scanners
·
Bar code label and RFID tag printers and encoders
·
Ruggedized laptops for industrial environments
 
Consumables
 
We have extensive expertise in bar code and RFID consumables solutions.  We offer a full line of high quality labels, RFID tags, and printer ribbons to meet the demands of every printing system.  We select 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
 
Our 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.  Our roots of DecisionPoint go back to the mid 1970’s, our customer base mirrors this fact as well.  Our 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 our customers includes:
 
·  
Retailers in various categories and sizes, including “Tier-1” companies such as J. Crew Group, Inc., Liz Claiborne, Inc., PETCO Animal Supplies, Inc., Nike, Inc., Nordstrom, Inc., and Grocery Outlet (Canned Foods, Inc.).
 
·  
Manufacturing companies such as Dade Behring (Division of Siemens), Mercedes Benz US International, Inc., BMW Manufacturing Company, KIA Motors Manufacturing Georgia, Inc., Sargent Manufacturing Co. (Division of ASSA Abloy),  BASF Corp, Sanmina-SCI Corp, Orica USA, Inc., Timken Corp., Swiss Army Brands, Smith & Wesson and pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Inc., and Celgene Corp.
 
·  
Transportation, warehousing and distribution, including logistics companies such as Golden State Overnight Delivery Service, Inc., Ryder System, Inc., Exel, DHL Global Mail, Inc., SAIA, Inc. and Frontier Logistics LP.
 
 
 
68

 
 
Now that the Field Mobility marketplace is starting to grow significantly, we are 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 facilitiesGo-To
 
Go-To-Market Model
 
We aim to deliver the ‘whole solution’ to a customer, from solution design through support.  Our 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, we seek 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:
 
·  
Full Solution Customer - This is a customer that wants us to provide not only the entire solution from initial consultation and design, 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 us, one that understands and values the cost effectiveness of the entire solution and ongoing support of the system.
 
·  
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.
 
·  
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, we strive to position our professional services as a core value-added component to the customer.  Our ability to reliably test, configure, kit, stage, and deploy large rollouts of mobile computers for specialized applications is a key service offering that enables our customers to realize the ROI they were expecting on mobile computing in the first place.
 
Sales and Sales Support
 
We support our 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 our product and service set that fulfills those requirements.
 
We fulfill 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 us to expand their own reach.
 
We currently employ 67 people in our marketing, sales and professional services operation.  We have 4 marketing people and 22 sales people, all of whom are qualified in system technology design, installation and integration.  They receive substantial technical support and assistance from 28 systems engineers and technicians and 6 software engineers.  Supporting the sales effort are 7 sales administrators, who are responsible for the detailed order entry and for the inputting of the related data into our accounting system.

Additionally we have access to an in-house database along with several thousand contractors and resumes.
 
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, we may utilize independent contractors.
 
Sales System Support: salesforce.com
 
We make extensive use of the salesforce.com customer relationship management (“CRM”) system to support our 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 and time are tracked using salesforce.com.  These tools allow us to get a better understanding of project profitability which helps us manage our key project resources.
 
Marketing Activities
 
We address our target markets through a combination of our own marketing activities, relationship selling and vendor-supplied leads.  The common aim is to establish our credibility in the space, and then definitively demonstrate to the potential customer that we can tailor solutions to that customer’s needs.
 
 Our 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.  Our 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 our success as well, in that vendors see it to their advantage to funnel sales opportunities to us thereby minimizing their selling costs.  They are also willing to spend a sizeable portion of their discretionary marketing development budget for demand generation activities.
 
Our investment in our Field Mobility practice is paying off in the form of wireless carrier sales.  We established key wireless carrier relationships in 2008, and are now seeing the fruit of our 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, we 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 our account executives to get involved.
 
Realizing that statistics show that the vast majority of B2B activity today starts with an Internet search, we have invested in some forward-thinking tools and technologies to help meet our future customers there.  In 2009, we performed a major revamp of our website, www.decisionpt.com, and we also now pilot 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 behavior 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 we operate 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.  We believe we are uniquely positioned in the industry due to our strong customer and vendor relationships, our consultative and technological leadership and capabilities and our comprehensive range of offerings.
 
We compete with other VAR’s and System Integrators/engineering organizations (“SI’s”) in system design, integration and maintenance arenas.  However, as a Tier-1 reseller for major equipment vendors including Motorola and Zebra, we encounter fewer than ten competitive Tier-1 VARs and SIs representing these manufacturers in the marketplace.
 
We typically win business from such competitors based on our turnkey software engineering skills and one-stop-shop technical capabilities.  Recognizing us as a significant VAR within its universe of Tier-1 partners, Motorola has granted us variable pricing applicable to specific major customers.  These price discounts give us an edge in the marketplace through greater margin flexibility.  As a result, we do not typically lose contracts due to price sensitivity.
 
Large system integrators are seeking to move further into the segment in which we compete.  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, we may partner with other system integrators to make available our portfolio of advanced mission-critical services, applications and devices.
 
We have identified the following eleven (11) 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)  
Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN) – Accenture is a global management consulting, technology consulting and technology outsourcing company.  Their global headquarters are in Dublin, Ireland.  It is the largest consulting firm in the world, as well as being a global player within the technology consulting industry.  Accenture is a Fortune Global 500 company.  As of January 2011, they had more than 214,000 employees in more than 200 locations in over 120 countries.  Accenture's current clients include 96 of the Fortune Global 100 and more than three quarters of the Fortune Global 500.
 
 
 
71

 
 
(d)  
Sedlak Management Consultants – Sedlak is a supply chain consulting firm specializing in distribution consulting.  They are a privately-held Cleveland, Ohio based company, and have been in business for over 50 years.
 
(e)  
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.
 
(f)  
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.
 
(g)  
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.
 
(h)  
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.
 
(i)  
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.
 
(j)  
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.
 
(k)  
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.
 
(l)  
Other Competitors in the U.S. - Certain ‘catalog and online’ AIDC equipment resellers offer end-users deeply discounted, commodity oriented products; however, they typically offer limited or no maintenance support beyond the manufacturer’s warranty (which generally results in slower repair turnaround time).  More importantly, as end users have become increasingly dependent on VARs and SIs to provide platform design, integration and maintenance, end users typically do not place major purchase orders with such resellers.

 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 year ended December 31, 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.

Overview
 
We design, implement, and support mobile computing and wireless systems for our customers which they use to deliver improved productivity and better customer service to their customers.  We provide value to our customers by giving them the capability to make better, faster, and more accurate business decisions.  It is these mobile computing and wireless systems that empower people with the information to improve the hundreds of individual business decisions they make each day.
 
We are able to provide our customers with everything they need to bring their ideas to reality by using the specialized skills and knowledge of our people.  The range of our offerings include the consulting and design services, technical and programming services, mobile computing and wireless and RFID hardware, software, and support services to carry it out.
 
 
74

 
 
We are focused on several markets.  These include retail, manufacturing, distribution, transportation and logistics.  We are also increasingly focused on the markets for these systems in the markets where there are large groups of field services workers.  These markets include maintenance and repair, inspections, deliveries, and other specialized business services such as uniform rental.  This part of our business did not exist a few years ago.  But with the continued explosive growth of the mobile Internet, we expect to add resources in this area in order to take advantage of the increasing opportunities.
 
Business Combination
 
On December 31, 2010, we acquired CMAC, a supply chain consulting and systems integration firm focused on delivering operational and technical solutions for the enterprise.  The purchase price of US$3,150,000 consisted of US$2,205,000 in cash and 3,269,896 unregistered shares of our common stock, valued at US$945,000.  The value of the shares was based on the average daily closing price per share of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on December 29, 2010.  The CMAC acquisition will enable us to increase our professional services and software revenue by enhancing our ability to deliver operational and technical supply chain solutions.  We anticipate that CMAC will improve our overall gross margin through its professional services revenue, as well as provide us with additional resources to grow our current professional services revenue through its experienced staff of in-house consultants and data base of contract professional services consultants.
 
The operating results of CMAC will be included in our results of operations beginning January 1, 2011.

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
 
Our 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 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 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 the following critical accounting policies involve a high degree of judgment and estimation.
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
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 maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk, as well as historical trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.  To mitigate this credit risk we perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers.
 
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 make 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.
 
Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
 
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually. Goodwill is also subject to testing as necessary, if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential
 
 
76

 
 
impairment. In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill, identified intangibles, and other long-lived assets, significant assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets must be made, as well as the related estimated useful lives. The fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets is estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation model and observed earnings and revenue trading multiples of identified peer companies. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future as a result of changes in strategy or market conditions, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the period such determination was made..
 
Income Taxes
 
Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes.  Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes.  The carrying value of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions.  Should we determine that it is not able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets is expensed in the period such determination is made to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  We presently record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event that we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount (including valuation allowance), an adjustment to the tax valuation allowance would decrease tax expense in the period such determination was made.
 
Warrant Liability
 
We accounted for a 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 we classify the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjust the instrument to fair value at each reporting period.  This liability was 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 our warrants issued 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 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 we may be liable to refund a customer for amounts paid in certain circumstances.  This has not been an issue for us historically.
 
 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.  For certain long-term proprietary service contracts with fixed or “not
 
 
 
77

 
 
to exceed” fee arrangements, we estimate 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.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
We record the fair value of stock-based payments as an expense in our consolidated financial statements.  When more precise pricing data is unavailable, 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 13 of the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Schedule F attached hereto.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009
 
For comparison purposes, all dollar amounts have been rounded to nearest million while all percentages are actual.
 
Revenues were US$56.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to US$48.3 million for the same period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of US$7.9 million or 16.4%.  The increase in revenue was primarily due to the improved product availability from our principal vendor and the improved economic conditions in the U.S. which had begun in the first half of 2010, and continued throughout 2010.  We have experienced increases in traditional mobility solutions revenue which has historically generated lower gross margins, while our professional services including software have continued to grow.
 
Cost of sales were US$45.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to US$38.6 million for the same period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of US$6.8 million or 17.7%.
 
Our gross profit was US$10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to US$9.7 million for the same period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of US$1.1 million or 11.4%.  Although the actual dollar amount of gross profit is higher in 2010, our realized gross margin has decreased to 19.3% in 2010, from 20.2% in the comparable period of 2009.  This reduction in gross margin is directly due to the reduced gross margin of hardware product sales that were partially offset by improved gross margin of professional services and software through increased emphasis on cost control and improved utilization and efficiency of our professional services personnel and related costs.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were US$9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to US$8.0 million for the same period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of US$1.6 million or 20.6%.  The increase in the year ended December 31, 2010, was the result of increased commission expense associated with increased revenues and additional salaries of approximately US$0.3 million.  Finance and administration expenses were higher due primarily to increased professional fees and investor relations expenses associated with being a public company for an entire year of approximately US$1.3 million.

Interest expense, which is related to our line of credit and subordinated debt, was US$2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to US$1.1 million for the same period ended December 31, 2009.  The US$1.2 million increase in interest expense was the result of higher associated interest rates and charges related to our subordinated debt and an increase in the amount of borrowings under our debt agreements including prepayment fees of US$124,000 and US$682,000 of acceleration of deferred financing costs and warrant expense.  Our subordinated debt was fully repaid during 2010, and we ended the year with a line of credit and new term loan with a financial institution that will result in significantly lower interest charges and other costs of financing going forward.  We estimate this savings to be approximately US$1.0 million during 2011.
 
The change in other expense to US$1.1 million from US$0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, consists primarily of expenses related to a potential merger transaction of approximately US$0.3 million and an additional US$0.7 million we incurred relating to an acquisition that did not materialize.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and cash flow
 
We have seen our revenue increase approximately 16.4%, due to the improved economic conditions in the U.S. Our lower gross margins and increased selling, general and administrative expenses due to increased selling expenses related to increased revenues, professional expenses related to being a public company for a full year and investor relations expenses resulted in lower operating income.  We believe that our strategic shift to higher margin solutions with additional software and professional service revenues will improve our results through this economically improving 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 December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$0.3 million and US$0.1 million, respectively.  We have used, and plan to use, such cash for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
 
As of December 31, 2010, we have negative working capital of US$9.4 million and total stockholders’ deficit of US$2.9 million.  As of December 31, 2009, we had negative working capital of US$7.1 million and total stockholders’ deficit of US$3.5 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 outflow requirements.  Included in current assets are deferred costs of US$5.0 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 2010, in conjunction with our acquisition of CMAC, we issued 3.3 million shares of common stock valued at US$945,000 to the selling shareholders of CMAC.  We also sold US$380,000 of Series B Preferred Stock in December 2010.  Both of these contributed to the reduction of our stockholders’ deficit.
 
In December 2006, pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”), we obtained a US$6.5 million line of credit, which provides for borrowings based upon eligible accounts receivable.  In March 2009, pursuant to an Amendment to the Loan Agreement (“First Amendment”), the line of credit was renewed through March 2011, and the amount available for borrowing was increased to US$8.5 million.  We paid an annual renewal fee of US$85,000.  Pursuant to the First Amendment, the rate at which interest accrues is prime plus 4%, with a potential interest rate reduction of 0.50% based on future profitability.

In December 2010, the line of credit was temporarily reduced to US$7.0 million in conjunction with a new Term Loan of US$3.0 million with our existing financial institution that increased the Company’s overall credit facility with the financial institution to US$10.0 million.  The Term Loan was used to acquire CMAC and repay all of our remaining subordinated debt.  We will pay a US$60,000 commitment fee over the first six quarters of the loan and will pay a final payment of US$60,000, or 2% of the principal amount borrowed, at the earlier of the maturity date or date of prepayment of the Term Loan.  There are no other pre-payment charges.  The Term Loan accrues interest at a fixed rate of 9% and US$3.0 million was outstanding at December 31, 2010.  The amounts outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2010 and 2009, were approximately US$4.4 million and US$2.6 million with interest accruing at 7.5% and 8%, respectively.  Availability under this line of credit was approximately US$2.6 million (subject to the temporary reduction in the credit line as described above) and US$4.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 In February 2011, pursuant to a Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement (“Second Amendment”) the line of credit was renewed for an additional two year period and the amount available for borrowing was increased to US$10.0 million.  We paid an annual renewal fee of US$100,000.  The overall credit facility with our financial institution is US$13.0 million.
 
 We believe 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 from 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 December 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.
 
 For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was US$0.3 million, primarily due to a US$2.1 million increase in accounts receivable associated with increased revenues, a decrease in inventory of US$0.3 million related directly with project delivery, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of US$0.4 million, a US$0.4 million increase in accrued expenses, an increase in accounts payable of US$2.3 million associated with increased revenues and the net change in our unearned revenue of US$0.6 million associated with increased revenues.  All of these offset our net loss of US$2.2 million and US$2.0 million non-cash expenses in the current year.
 
 During the year ended December 31, 2009, net cash provided by 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 our unearned revenue of an additional US$0.5 million.  All of these offset our net income of US$0.3 million for the 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 debt in December 2009.
 
 For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was US$2.6 million, primarily due to US$3.0 million of borrowings under long term debt related to acquisition CMAC, US$1.8 million of net borrowings from line of credit for operations, US$0.6 million from exercise of employee stock options, US$0.4 million from issuance of convertible preferred stock, repayment of US$2.8 million of subordinated debt and US$0.4 million of financing costs.

 During the year ended December 31, 2009, net cash provided by financing activities was US$0.6 million, primarily due to US$2.5 million from sale of subordinated debt, US$1.4 million of debt repayment, US$0.8 million of net repayments of line of credit from operations, US$0.8 million from issuance of convertible preferred stock and sale of convertible note and US$0.5 million of financing costs and Holding Share liability payments.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2010.
 
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$9.2 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.

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.
 
 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.
 
 
83

 
 
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.

Notwithstanding Subsection 185(6) of the OBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in Subsection 185(6) of the OBCA must be received by Comamtech before 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day preceding the Meeting.
 
A Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled, in the event the Arrangement 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 Arrangement Resolution is adopted.
 
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 Arrangement Resolution will no longer be considered a Dissenting Shareholder with respect to the Comamtech Shares voted in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. A vote against the Arrangement Resolution or an abstention will not constitute a Dissent Notice,
 
 
96

 
 
but a Registered Holder need not vote its Comamtech Shares, against the Arrangement Resolution in order to dissent. Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxy holder to vote in favour of the Arrangement 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 Arrangement Resolution, should be validly revoked in order to prevent the proxy holder from voting such Comamtech Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and thereby causing the Registered Holder to forfeit its Dissent Right.
 
Comamtech is required, within ten days after the adoption of the Arrangement Resolution, to notify each Dissenting Shareholder that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, but such notice is not required to be sent to any Shareholder who voted for the Arrangement Resolution or who has withdrawn such Shareholder’s Dissent Notice.
 
A Dissenting Shareholder must, within 20 days after receipt of notice that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted or, if the Dissenting Shareholder does not receive such notice, within 20 days after the Dissenting Shareholder learns that the Arrangement 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 Arrangement 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 Arrangement 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 Arrangement becomes effective, such Dissenting Shareholder’s Comamtech Shares will be subject to the Arrangement.
 
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 Arrangement; 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 and shall not be entitled to receive any consideration other than the number of Comamtech Shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.12 of the Plan of Arrangement (as the same may be adjusted to account for any corporate actions taken by Comamtech after the Effective Time as if the holder was a holder of Comamtech Shares at the relevant time).
 
 
97

 
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 Arrangement Resolution. See “Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to Obligations of Comamtech and MergerCo”.
 
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.
 
 
98

 
 
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.
 
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”.
 
 
99

 
 
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.
 
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, 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.
 
 Risk Factors Relating to DecisionPoint
 
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.
 
Although DecisionPoint’s management team has been engaged in software development for an extended period of time and it began the operations of its current business in December 2003, it has only been operating as a public company with its current operations since June 2009.  DecisionPoint has a limited operating history in its current combined form, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business on the basis of historical operations.  As a consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast its future results based upon its historical data.  Reliance on its historical results may not be representative of the results it will achieve.  Because of the uncertainties related to its lack of historical operations, it may be hindered in its ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, product costs or expenses.  If it 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.
 
The RFID industry is characterized by rapid technological change, and DecisionPoint’s success depends upon the frequent enhancement of existing products and timely introduction of new products that meet its customers’ needs.
 
Customer requirements for RFID products are rapidly evolving and technological changes in DecisionPoint’s industry occur rapidly.  To keep up with new customer requirements and distinguish itself from its competitors, DecisionPoint must frequently introduce new products and enhancements of existing products. Enhancing existing products and developing new products is a complex and uncertain process.  It often requires significant investments in research and development (“R&D”). DecisionPoint may not have adequate resources to invest in R&D that will keep pace with technological changes in its industry.  Even if DecisionPoint made adequate investments in R&D, they may not result in products attractive or acceptable to its customers.  Furthermore, DecisionPoint may not be able to launch new or improved products before its competition launches comparable products.  Any of these factors could cause its business or financial results to suffer.
 
Our recent acquisition of CMAC Inc., and other future business combinations and acquisition transactions may not succeed in generating the intended benefits and may, therefore, adversely affect shareholder value or our financial results.  Integration of new businesses or technologies into our business may have any of the following adverse effects.
 
·  
DecisionPoint may have difficulty transitioning customers and other business relationships.
 
·  
DecisionPoint may have problems unifying management following a transaction.
 
·  
DecisionPoint may lose key employees from its existing or acquired businesses.
 
·  
DecisionPoint may experience intensified competition from other companies seeking to expand sales and market share during the integration period.
 
·  
DecisionPoint management’s attention may be diverted to the assimilation of the technology and personnel of acquired businesses or new product or service lines.
 
 
101

 
 
·  
DecisionPoint may experience difficulties in coordinating geographically disparate organizations and corporate cultures and integrating management personnel with different business backgrounds.
 
The inability of DecisionPoint’s management to successfully integrate acquired businesses, and any related diversion of management’s attention, could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Business combinations and other acquisition transactions may have a direct adverse effect on DecisionPoint’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, or on its stock price.
 
To complete acquisitions or other business combinations, DecisionPoint may have to use cash, issue new equity securities with dilutive effects on existing stockholders, take on new debt, assume contingent liabilities or amortize assets or expenses in a manner that might have a material adverse effect on its balance sheet, results of operations or liquidity.  DecisionPoint is required to record certain financing and acquisition-related costs and other items as current period expenses, which would have the effect of reducing its reported earnings in the period in which an acquisition is consummated.  These and other potential negative effects of an acquisition transaction could prevent DecisionPoint from realizing the benefits of such transactions and have a material adverse impact on its stock price, revenues, revenue growth, balance sheet, results of operations and liquidity.
 
We expect that we will need to raise additional funds, and these funds may not be available when we need them or the additional funds may not be obtained on favorable terms
 
DecisionPoint expects that it will need to raise additional funds, and these funds may not be available when it needs them or the additional funds may not be obtained on favorable terms.
 
DecisionPoint believes that it will need to raise additional monies in order to fund its growth strategy and implement its business plan.  Specifically, it 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 its 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 its business strategy and reduce its 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
 
 
102

 
 
(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:
 
(a)  
other wireless mobile solutions companies such as Peak Technologies, Agilysys, Acsis, Stratix, InfoLogix and Catalyst International;
 
(b)  
in certain areas DecisionPoint’s existing hardware suppliers, in particular Motorola but also Intermec, Zebra and others; and
 
(c)  
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 26% of its revenues from its two largest customers in 2010. It 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.
 
Growth of and changes in DecisionPoint’s revenues and profits depend on the customer, product and geographic mix of its sales.  Fluctuations in its sales mix could have an adverse impact on or increase the volatility of its revenues, gross margins and profits.
 
Sales of DecisionPoint’s products to large enterprises tend to have lower prices and gross margins than sales to smaller firms.  In addition, its gross margins vary depending on the product or service made.  Growth in its revenues and gross margins therefore depends on the customer, product and geographic mix of its sales.  If DecisionPoint is unable to execute a sales strategy that results in a favorable sales mix, its revenues, gross margins and earnings may decline.  Further, changes in the mix of its sales from quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year may make its revenues, gross margins and earnings more volatile and difficult to predict.
 
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;
 
 
103

 
 
(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;
 
(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.
 
 
104

 
 
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.
 
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
 
 
105

 
 
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.
 
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. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on DecisionPoint’s business and common stock price.
 
DecisionPoint’s internal controls over financial reporting have not been audited by DecisionPoint’s independent registered public accounting firm. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on DecisionPoint’s business and common stock price. In its 2010 Form 10-K, DecisionPoint reported that its assessment of internal controls identified a material weakness.
 
If DecisionPoint does not generate sufficient future taxable income, it may be required to recognize additional deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
 
The value of DecisionPoint’s deferred tax assets depends, in part, on its ability to use them to offset taxable income in future years.  If DecisionPoint is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income or if there are significant changes in tax laws or the tax rates or the period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, DecisionPoint could be required to increase its valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.  Such an increase would result in an increase in its effective tax rate and have a negative impact on our operating results. If DecisionPoint’s estimated future taxable income is increased, the valuation allowances for deferred tax assets may be reduced.  These changes may also contribute to the volatility of its financial results.
 
DecisionPoint has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.  Any return on investment may be limited to the value of its common stock.
 
DecisionPoint has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  The payment of dividends on its common stock would depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant.  If DecisionPoint does not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

There is a limited market for DecisionPoint common stock which may make it more difficult for holders of DecisionPoint common stock to dispose of stock.
 
DecisionPoint’s common stock is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “DNPI”.  There is a limited trading market for its common stock.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for its common stock, the ability of holders of its common stock to sell DecisionPoint’s common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell its common stock.
 
A sale of a substantial number of shares of DecisionPoint’s common stock may cause the price of its common stock to decline.
 
If DecisionPoint’s stockholders sell substantial amounts of its common stock in the public market, the market price of its common stock could fall.  These sales also may make it more difficult for DecisionPoint to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that it deems reasonable or appropriate.  Stockholders who have been issued shares in the Acquisition will be able to sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, beginning one year after the stockholders acquired their shares.
 
DecisionPoint’s common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in its securities is limited, which makes transactions in its stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in its stock.
 
The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock", for the purposes relevant to DecisionPoint, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
 
·  
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
 
·  
that the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
 
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
 
·  
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
 
·  
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
 
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
 
·  
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
 
·  
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
 
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.  Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
 
 
107

 
 
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules.  This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

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, provided that the Share Price is not less than $4.00.  Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with 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 Conversion Date. 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)           Series A Conversion Ratio.  The conversion ratio for the Series A Preferred Shares shall be 1 Common Share for 1 Series A Preferred Share (the “Series A 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

 
- B - 21 -

 

 
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.
 
(4)           Mechanics of Conversion.
 
 
(a)
Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion.  Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion 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(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.
 
 
(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.

 
- B - 22 -

 

 
 
 
(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 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.
 
(2)           Fundamental Transaction.  Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction at any time while any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, then, upon any subsequent conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, each Holder shall have the right to receive Alternate Consideration for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Series A 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 Series A 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
 
- B - 23 -

 

 
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)
Adjustment to Conversion Price.  Whenever the Series A Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 4.5, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Series A Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
 
(b)
Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder.  If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Shares, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or series in the capital stock of the Corporation or of any rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any amalgamation or arrangement to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary Liquidation of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at such Holder’s last address as it shall appear upon the securities register of the Corporation, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, amalgamation, arrangement, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, amalgamation, arrangement, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert Series A Preferred Shares (or any part hereof) during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

5.2
Voting Rights
 
Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Series B Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the approval by special resolution of the Holders of the Series B Preferred Shares voting as a separate series, (a) alter or change adversely the rights, privileges,  restrictions and conditions given to the Series B Preferred Shares, (b) amend its articles in any manner that adversely affects any rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions of the Series B Preferred Shares, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Shares, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

5.4
Conversion
 
(1)           Conversions at Option of Holder.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.4, each Series B 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, provided that the Share Price is not less than $3.20.  Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with a Notice of Conversion.  Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, the number of Series B Preferred Shares owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of Series B Preferred Shares owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the Conversion Date. 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 B Preferred Shares, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such Series B Preferred Shares to the Corporation unless all of the Series B Preferred Shares represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series B Preferred Shares promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.   Series B Preferred Shares converted into Common Shares or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued.
 
(2)           Series B Conversion Ratio.  The conversion ratio for the Series B Preferred Shares shall be 1 Common Share for 1 Series B Preferred Share (the “Series B Conversion Ratio”).

 
- B - 26 -

 

 
(3)           Beneficial Ownership Limitation.  The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of Series B Preferred Shares, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series B 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 B 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 B 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 5.4(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 5.4(3) applies, the determination of whether the Series B Preferred Shares are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and of how many Series B 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 B Preferred Shares may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and how many Series B 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 5.4(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 5.4(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 B 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 B 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 5.4(3) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5.4(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 5.4(3) shall apply to a successor holder of Series B Preferred Shares.

(4)           Mechanics of Conversion.
 
 
(a)
Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion.  Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion 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 B 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 5.4(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 B Preferred Share certificates delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation any Common Share certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation.
 
 
(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 B Preferred Shares and payment of dividends on the Series B 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 B Preferred Shares, not less than such aggregate number of Common Shares as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 5.5) upon the conversion of all outstanding Series B 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 B 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 B 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 B 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.

5.5           Certain Adjustments
 
(1)           Stock Dividends and Shares Splits.  If the Corporation, at any time while any Series B 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 B 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 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 5.5(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 5.5(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.
 
(2)           Fundamental Transaction.  Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction at any time while any Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding, then, upon any subsequent conversion of Series B Preferred Shares, each Holder shall have the right to receive Alternate Consideration for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Series B 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 Series B 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 B 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 5.5(2) and ensuring that Series B 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 5.5 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 5.5, 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)
Adjustment to Conversion Price.  Whenever the Series B Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5.5, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Series B Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

The Holder is entitled to convert Series B Preferred Shares (or any part hereof) during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
 
5.6

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 April 8th, 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 May 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 and the revised one issued on January 18th, 2011. 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, a second time as at March 22nd, 2011 and a third time as at April 8th, 2011 (Arrangement Agreement”). Thus, for the sake of this report, the Valuation Date is set at the Report Date of April 8th, 2011. The enclosed report takes into consideration the recently closed 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.

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 $9.0M and $19.7M, 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 $9.0M and $19.7M 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 $15.6M. 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.
 
Other event
 
Currently, DecisionPoint could conclude a financing agreement with Sigma. This agreement stipulates that DecisionPoint will issue 4,000 preferred shares at $1,000 per share for a consideration of $4.0M in cash. These shares would be convertible in common shares at any time at a fixed price of $3.20 per share. Also, DecisionPoint will grant 53,125 common shares to Sigma without any compensation. The issuance of 53,125 common shares will reduce the value per common share, dropping it from $3.37 to $3.35. However, concerning the preferred stock, there's no material impact on the equity value since the
price of conversion is approximately 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.

Using a stock price of $0.407 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 $14,956,959. 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 3,336,121 with exercise prices from $0.20 to $0.31 and an average exercise price of $0.24. Among the granted options, 2,746,968 are vested with an average exercise price of $0.23. These granted options should be considered in-the-money. Based on the above the 589,153 non-vested options should have an average exercise price of $0.287.
 
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.

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.

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)
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 behavior 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

 
 
 
Thus, ModelCom's 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. ModelCom‟s 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, ModelCom‟s 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 company's 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:

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 4.00% 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:

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 $9.0M and $19.7M, but more realistically, between $13.8M and $17.8M 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 &$7.7M and $10.3M. 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 $7.1M and $11.9M.

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 $9.0M and $19.7M, 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 as at December 31st, 2010, 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 8 quarters, the stock price of Comamtech has followed the following behavior:

Q3-2010       2,583     $ 2.31     $ 2.82     $ 2.67  
Q4-2010       2,877     $ 1.70     $ 2.80     $ 1.70  
Q1-2011       4,232     $ 1.50     $ 3.24     $ 2.75  

Using a stock price of $2.8865 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 2,097,861, the market capitalization is $6,055,476. Thus, the transaction value of $7,942k represents a premium of 31% 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. The exercise of these 38,570 options would bring $77,547 of cash in. Thus, the total value of Comamtech would be $8,020k. 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:

    153,883  
Total
    2,379,321  

Thus, assuming a diluted number of shares of 2,379,321, the per share value is $3.371.

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
                            41,035,407       5,129,426  

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 $0.421 per share, or a premium of 3.5% 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 5,129,426 shares then translates into a value for the common equity of DecisionPoint of $17,289k. 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 $15.6M for the common equity. On the other hand, the FMV of the equity of DecisionPoint is between $9.0M and $19.7M, 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.

Other event

Currently, DecisionPoint could conclude a financing agreement with Sigma. This agreement stipulates that DecisionPoint will issue 4,000 preferred shares at $1,000 per share for a consideration of $4.0M in cash. These shares would be convertible in common shares at any time at a fixed price of $3.20 per share. Also, DecisionPoint will grant 53,125 common shares to Sigma without any compensation. The issuance of 53,125 common shares will reduce the value per common share, dropping it from $3.37 to $3.35. However, concerning the preferred stock, there's no material impact on the equity value since the price of conversion is approximately 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 $9.0M and $19.7M, 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 $9.0M and $19.7M, 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 $15.6M. 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.

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%.

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.
Foothill Ranch, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DECISIONPOINT SYSTEMS, INC.
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND THE MERGER
 
Nature of Business - DecisionPoint Systems, Inc., (“DecisionPoint”, “Company”) 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 radio frequency identification (“RFID”) readers. The Company also provides professional services, proprietary and third party software and software customization as an integral part of its customized solutions for its customers.
 
DecisionPoint Systems, Inc., 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 (“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. (“DPS Group”).  DPS Group 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 were expensed.  Upon completion of the Merger, the Company adopted DPS Group’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 DPS Group 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 DPS Group’s subordinated convertible debt was converted into 6,336 shares of DPS Group common stock.  In accordance with the terms of the Merger, each of the 16,336 shares of DPS Group’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were exchanged for 153.04 shares of the Company’s common  stock,  giving  DPS  Group’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 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 DPS Group prior to the Merger.  In addition, the directors and officers of the Company were replaced by the directors and officers of DPS Group.

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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-405-25-1. 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 DPS Group’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 DPS Group 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
 
The consolidated financial statements of DecisionPoint and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DPS Group and CMAC, Inc. (“CMAC”).  CMAC was acquired by the Company on December 31, 2010, and as such, the operating results of CMAC will be included in the Company’s results of operations beginning January 1, 2011. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates in only one business segment.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
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.

Purchase Accounting and Business Combinations The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting which requires that intangible assets be recognized apart from goodwill if they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are measured on the fair value of consideration exchanged and, if the consideration given is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable acquired assets and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.

The valuation and allocation process relies on significant assumptions made by management. In certain situations, the allocations of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when the Company receives updated information, including appraisals and other analyses, which are completed within one year of the acquisition.  Revisions to the fair values, which may be significant, are recorded when pending information is finalized, within one year from the acquisition date.

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 $215,000 and $332,484, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. When internal collection efforts on accounts have been exhausted, the accounts are written off by reducing the allowance for doubtful accounts

Inventory - Inventory consists of finished goods and 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 $145,000 and
$210,000, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Deferred costs – Deferred costs consist primarily of third party extended maintenance services which the Company has paid for in advance. The costs are amortized over the life of the contract, generally one to five years.

DECISIONPOINT SYSTEMS, INC.
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
 
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.
 
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 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.

Intangible assets – Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, contractor and resume databases, trade name, and internal use software and are being amortized over periods ranging from five to nine years.

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 $91,883 and $353,318, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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. The Company records sales net of sales tax.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
 
Concentration of Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. On November 9, 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) implemented section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that provides for unlimited insurance coverage of noninterest-bearing accounts.  Beginning December 31, 2010 all noninterest-bearing accounts are fully insured regardless of the balance of the account. This coverage is available at all FDIC member institutions. The Company uses Silicon Valley Bank, which is an FDIC insured institution. Based on these facts, collectability of bank balances appears to be adequate.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had sales to two customers who collectively represented a total of 26% of total revenues. Accounts receivable from two customers at December 31, 2010, accounted for 32% of accounts receivable.  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, 2010, the Company had purchases from four vendors that collectively represented 80% of total purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had purchases from two vendors that collectively represented 59% of total purchases. Accounts payable from three vendors represents 75% of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2010 and from three vendors representing 35% of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2009.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, line of credit and long term debt. The carrying value of the short term financial instruments approximates  their  fair  values  at  December  31,  2010  and  2009,  due  to  their  short-term  maturities. The  carrying  value  of  the Company’s long-term debt approximates its fair value, net of a discount related to a final payment to be made on the due date which is equal to two percent of the original loan amount.

Warrant Liability - The Company accounted 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 was subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value was recognized as a component of other income or expense. In June 2010, the warrant was exercised in full and as a result, was reclassified to equity.

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 is 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, 2010, 6,639,394 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.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of fully diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-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.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
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 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.

In December 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the account standards related to the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. This amendment requires that public entities that present comparative financial statements disclose pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the periods presented as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The amendment is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance which modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity must consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating impairment may exist. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. This guidance is therefore effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF CMAC
 
On December 31, 2010, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of CMAC, a logistics consulting and systems integration provider focused on delivering operational and technical supply chain solutions, headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. CMAC offers complementary professional services in similar markets as DecisionPoint, and as such, the acquisition is expected to provide more professional services and software revenue to the Company, consistent with the Company’s long term plan. In addition, CMAC's strong presence in the southeast expands DecisionPoint’s presence in this important and growing region of the United States.

The purchase price of $3,150,000 consists of $2,205,000 in cash and 3,269,896 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $945,000. The shares were issued on December 31, 2010, and the cash portion of the purchase price is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010. The cash was transferred on January 3, 2011. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the operating results for CMAC will be consolidated into the Company’s results of operations beginning on January 1, 2011. The Company acquired gross accounts receivable of $1,651,845 with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $30,000 resulting in a fair value of $1,621,845.

The purchase price was recorded as follows to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values on the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the fair value of the CMAC assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
 
Cash
  $ 185,865  
Accounts receivable and other assets
    1,723,002  
Intangible assets
    2,729,000  
Goodwill

Total Assets
    5,286,068  
         
Accounts payable and other liabilities      (2,136,068 )
         
    $ 3,150,000  
 
The fair value of the intangible assets and the estimated useful lives over which they are being amortized on an accelerated basis are:

    $ 2,729,000      
 
The transaction resulted in a purchase price allocation of $648,201 to goodwill, representing the financial, strategic and operational value of the transaction to DecisionPoint.  Goodwill is attributed to the premium that the Company was willing to pay to obtain the value of the CMAC business and the synergies created with the integration of key components of a commercial infrastructure. The total amount of the goodwill acquired is deductible for tax purposes.

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 table below are based on information available to the Company as of December 31, 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 warrants issued by the Company in connection with private placements of securities was estimated by management in the absence of a readily ascertainable market value. At December 31, 2009, the Company determined, based upon the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, that the fair value of these warrants was $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 In June 2010, the warrants were exercised and their fair value on the exercise date of $80,500 was reclassified from a liability to equity. 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%.

The following table presents reconciliations for liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, using significant unobservable inputs (Level 2), as well as the portion of gains or losses included in income attributable to a realized gain that relates to those liabilities.

NOTE 7 – LINE OF CREDIT
 
As of December 31, 2010, the Company has a $7.0 million line of credit, which was subsequently increased to $10.0 million in February 2011 that 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 line of credit is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. The line of credit matures in February 2013 and is renewable annually for a fee of $85,000. As of December 31, 2010, the interest rate was 7.25%. 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 $2.6 million as of December 31, 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 December 31, 2010.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s interest expense, including fees paid to secure lines of credit, totaled $369,926 and $354,534, respectively.

NOTE 9 – 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 as of December 31st of each subsequent year until maturity.

Future settlements of these Holding Shares as of December 31, 2010 include $20,505 due under option C. This amount has been adjusted for the change to the fair value of the market price. All amounts have been classified as current.

Term Loan - On December 30, 2010, pursuant to an Assumption and Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), the Company borrowed $3.0 million from a financial institution (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is due in 36 equal monthly installments of principal plus interest beginning on February 1, 2011. The principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan 2010 shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to 9%. A final payment equal to 2% of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan is due on the earlier of the maturity date or the date the Term Loan is prepaid. This final payment of $60,000 has been recorded as a discount to the Term Loan, which is being amortized over the 36 month term using the effective interest method.

The Term Loan is secured by substantially all of assets of the Company.

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. Concurrent with the completion of the Merger, $415,000 of principal was exchanged for 415 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock. The remaining Bridge Notes were fully paid in cash in 2010.

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 were recorded as a discount to the Bridge Notes and a credit to additional paid-in capital.

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. In December 2009, 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). During 2010, the holder converted $125,000 of the principal balance into 416,667 shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining $125,000 was paid in cash.

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 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.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum and mature on May 31, 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.

NOTE 12 - ESOP PLAN

In December 2003, the Company formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) and loaned the ESOP $1,950,000 (the “ESOP Note”) that the ESOP Trust (“Trust”) used to acquire 8,162,557 shares of the of the Company’s stock from its former stockholder for $1,300,000 and 4,080,667 shares from the Company for $650,000. The ESOP Note bears interest at a rate of 5.25% with annual principal and interest payments and has a 15-year term. The amount owed to the Company under the Note as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $1,023,563 and $1,142,101, respectively. The ESOP Note is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as unearned ESOP shares in stockholders’ deficit.

The ESOP 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 a minimum $130,000 per year, to repay the ESOP Note held by the Company. The Company’s contribution expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $178,498 representing $118,538 for the ESOP principal payment and $59,960 for the ESOP interest. The Company’s contribution expense for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $178,498 representing $112,625 for the ESOP principal payment and $65,873 for the ESOP interest. The ESOP Note is secured by the unallocated Company stock held by the Trust.

ESOP shares are allocated to individual employee accounts as the loan obligation of the ESOP to the Company is reduced. These amounts are calculated on an annual basis by an outside, independent financial advisor. The ESOP held 5,603,830 shares of unallocated Company stock and 6,639,394 shares of allocated Company stock as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, the ESOP held 6,404,377 shares of unallocated Company stock and 5,838,847 shares of allocated Company stock.

Compensation costs relating to shares released are based on the fair value of shares at the time they are committed to be released. The unreleased shares are not considered outstanding in the computation of earnings per common share. Dividends received on ESOP shares are allocated based on shares held for the benefit of each participant and used to purchase additional shares of stock for each participant. The Company has not received any dividends since the inception of the plan. ESOP compensation expense consisting of both cash contributions and shares committed to be released for 2010 and 2009 was $272,449 and $178,498, respectively. For 2010, the fair value of the shares was $0.34 per share, based on the average of the daily market closing share price. The fair value of the shares as of December 31, 2009, was determined by an outside third party valuation firm to be $0.26 per share.

NOTE 13 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
In January 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive and Non-Incentive Stock Option Plan (“2004 Plan”) which was originally adopted by the Board of Directors of DecisionPoint and was assumed by the Company on June 18, 2009, in connection with the Merger.  The 2004 Plan authorizes 6,592,976 shares of common stock for issuance.  Under the 2004 Plan, common stock incentives may be granted to officers, employees, directors, consultants, and advisors.  Incentives under the 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, the Company  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 the success of the Company. These objectives are accomplished by making long-term incentive awards under the 2009 Plan in the form of stock 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, 2010.

The 2004 and 2009 Plans, (collectively, 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 ten percent 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 of a share of common stock on the date of grant.

A summary of the status of the Plans as of December 31, 2010, and information with respect to the changes in options outstanding is as follows:

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, 2010) 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 expected term of the awards represents the period of time that the awards are expected to be outstanding. Management considered expectations for the future to estimate employee exercise and post-vest termination behavior. The Company does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore has assumed a dividend yield of zero. The risk-free interest rate is the yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected term of the awards.

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, 2010 and 2009, was $38,437 and $50,961, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2010, total unrecognized estimated employee compensation cost related to stock options granted prior to that date was $46,816 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.72 years.

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. For the year ended December 31, 2010, 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.

(A) financial information, including but not limited to earnings, assets, debts, prices, fee structures, volumes of purchases or sales, or other financial data, whether relating to Company generally, or to particular products, services, geographic areas, or time periods;

(B) supply and service information, including but not limited to information concerning the goods and services utilized or purchased by Company, the names and addresses of suppliers, terms of supplier service contracts, or of particular transactions, or related information about potential suppliers, to the extent that such information is not generally known to the public, and to the extent that the combination of suppliers or use of particular suppliers, though generally
known or available, yields advantages to Company the details of which are not generally known;
 
(C) marketing information, including but not limited to details about ongoing or proposed marketing programs or agreements by or on behalf of Company, marketing forecasts, results of marketing efforts or information about impending transactions;

(D) personnel information, including but not limited to employees’ personal or medical histories, compensation or other terms of employees’ engagements, actual or proposed promotions, hiring, resignations, disciplinary actions, terminations or reasons therefor, training methods, performance or other employee information; and

(E) customer information, including but not limited to any customer proposals or agreements between customers and Company, status of customer accounts or credit, client and user information of customers (including but not limited to identification numbers and data and demographic data) or related information about actual or prospective customers.

Employee may not, during the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, directly or indirectly use, disclose or disseminate to any other person, organization or entity or otherwise use any Trade Secrets or Confidential Information, except as specifically required in the performance of his duties for the Company.

Employee may not disclose to the Company, use, or induce the Company to use, any proprietary information or trade secrets of others.  Employee represents and warrants that he has returned all property and confidential information belonging to all prior employers.

Employee agrees that he will not, during his employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity and that Employee will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.  Further, Employee agrees to abide by all lawful provisions of any covenants not to compete that he may have with prior employers.

(c) Return of Materials.  Upon the request of the Company and, in any event, upon the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee shall deliver to Company all memoranda, notes, records, drawings, daily or monthly appointment calendars (regardless of how kept), manuals, disks and other documents and media, regardless of form, that contain Work Product, Trade Secrets, Confidential Information, or otherwise relate to the Company’s business.  Employee shall not retain any such materials (whether in original or duplicated form) following such delivery.
 
(d) Covenant Not To Compete. The provisions set forth in Section 5.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 23, 2010 by and among the Company, CMAC and the shareholders of CMAC identified therein, including Employee (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), and the restrictions contemplated thereby are hereby incorporated by reference herein, in their entirety, and shall override any provisions in this Agreement which conflict in part or in whole with Section 5.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

(e) Company deemed to include CMAC, Inc.  For purposes of this Section 7 in its entirety, the term “Company” shall be deemed to encompass and include DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. and its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), which shall include CMAC, Inc.
 
(f) Enforcement. The provisions of Section 7 in its entirety shall survive termination of this Agreement or the lapse of the Term without renewal.  In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Employee of any covenant contained in Section 7 of this Agreement, the resulting injuries to the Company would be difficult or impossible to estimate accurately, even though irreparable injury or damage. Accordingly, an award of legal damages, if without other relief, would be inadequate to protect the
Company.  Employee therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Company shall be entitled to obtain an injunction to restrain the breach or anticipated breach of any such covenant, and to obtain any other available legal, equitable, statutory, or contractual relief.  Should the Company have cause to seek such relief, no bond shall be required.

8. ASSIGNMENT.  Neither party to this Agreement may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent.

9. AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION.  No amendment or modification of the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon either party unless reduced to writing and signed by Employee and the Company.

10. SEVERABILITY. The parties intend this Agreement to be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.  In the event any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be deemed to be restricted in scope or otherwise modified to the extent necessary to render it valid or enforceable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement which will remain in full force and effect.

11. CONTROLLING LAW. The terms of this Agreement will be construed and governed in accordance with the internal laws, but not the laws of conflicts, of the State of Georgia applicable to agreements made and to be performed in that State. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of its provisions, or arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration, to be held in the State of Georgia, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall decide all issues relating to arbitrability, and shall have the power to grant equitable relief, including injunctions, temporary restraining orders, etc.  In the event that any arbitration, action, suit or other proceeding is instituted to remedy, prevent, or obtain relief from a breach of this Agreement,
or arising out of a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall recover all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such party in each and every action, suit or other proceeding, including any and all appeals or petitions therefrom.

12. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if delivered by hand, sent via facsimile, or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, as follows:

14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  Except as otherwise noted herein or in any separate agreement entered into by Employee and the Company, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, if any, between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.
 
15. COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A.
 
(a) This Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under Section 409A, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed.  For purposes of Section 409A, (i) all payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of such term under Section 409A, (ii) each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and (iii) the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.  In no event shall Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

(b) All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirements that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Employee’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
 
(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at the time of Employee’s separation from service with the Company, the Company has securities which are publicly traded on an established securities market, Employee is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A) and it is necessary to postpone the commencement of any severance payments otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such separation from service to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Company will postpone the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Employee) that are not otherwise exempt from Section 409A until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months following Employee’s separation from service with the Company (as determined under Section 409A).  If any payments are postponed pursuant to this Section 15(c), then such postponed amounts will be paid in a lump sum to Employee on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months following Employee’s separation from service with the Company.  If Employee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of any postponed amount, such amount shall be paid to the personal representative of Employee’s estate within sixty (60) days after the date of Employee’s death.

BONUS
 
Employee shall be entitled to earn an annual bonus for performance based upon achieving certain levels of profit, more specifically defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”).  For purposes of developing a ‘baseline’ level of EBITDA, the Company will use the initial purchase price multiple of EBITDA of three (3) times, or $1,050,000. This baseline will be utilized for each of the three (3) years of the bonus plan.  EBITDA shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the calculation used in conjunction with setting the initial purchase price.  Bonus will be calculated annually based on the incremental EBITDA achieved over the baseline times a multiplier.  Said multiplier shall increase annually from the base multiplier of three (3) at the Effective Date by a half a point each year up to the maximum of four and one-half (4.50) times at the end of year 3 of the bonus plan.  Said amount shall then be divided by 25% representing the four periods of the bonus plan for a total of 100% as follows:
 
25% at the Effective Date
 
25% for Year 1
 
25% for Year 2

Exhibit 10.5
 
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
 
THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT  (this “Agreement”) dated as of the Effective Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a Calfornia corporation (“ Bank”), and CREATIVE CONCEPTS HOLDING, INC. , a California corporation, CREATIVE  CONCEPTS  SOFTWARE,  INC. ,  a  California  corporation  and  SENTINEL BUSINESS  SYSTEMS,  INC.,  a Connecticut corporation (jointly and severally, the “ Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:
 
1           ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
 
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP.  Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.
 
2           LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
 
2.1             Promise to Pay.  Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
 
2.1.1          Revolving Advances.
 
(a)           Availability .  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to deduction of Reserves, Bank will make Advances to Borrower up to an amount (“Net Borrowing Availability ”) not to exceed the lesser of:  (a) the Revolving Line; or (b) the amounts available under the Borrowing Base.
 
(b)            Streamline Period.  [omitted]
 
(c)           Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.
 
2.1.2          Letters of Credit Sublimit.
 
(a)           As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account. The face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed the Availability Amount. Such aggregate amounts utilized hereunder shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line. If, on the Revolving Maturity Date, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application ”). Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.

(b)          The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.

(c)           Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency.  If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for transfer to the country issuing such Foreign Currency.
 
 
- 1 -

 
 
(d)          To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “ Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. As part of the Revolving Line, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”).  FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract in a maximum aggregate amount equal to $500,000 (the “FX Reserve”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve.

2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.  Borrower may use up to $500,000 (the “Cash Management Services Sublimit”) of the Revolving Line for Bank’s cash management services which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash management services agreements (collectively, the “ Cash Management Services”). Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.

2.1.5 Overall Aggregate Sublimit.  In no event shall the total amount of (i) outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), and (ii) the FX Reserve, and (iii) the amount  of  the  Revolving  Line  utilized  for  Cash  Management  Services,  at  any  time  exceed  $500,000  in  the aggregate.
 
2.1.6           Term Loan I.
 
(a)            Availability.  Bank shall make one (1) term loan (“Term Loan I”) available to Borrower in an amount up to $1,500,000 on the Effective Date subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan I shall be reserved against the Net Borrowing Availability under the Revolving Line which would otherwise be available to Borrower (the “Term Loan I Reserve”).

(b)           Repayment.  Borrower shall repay Term Loan I as follows:  (i) for the first six months after the Funding Date occurs, interest only at the rate provided for herein, and (ii) thereafter, in thirty (30) equal installments of principal plus monthly payments of accrued interest (the “Term Loan I Payment ”).  Beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the Funding Date occurs, each Term Loan I Payment shall be payable on the first day of each month.  Borrower’s final Term Loan I Payment, due on the Term Loan I Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under Term Loan I.
 
2.1.7           Term Loan II.
 
(a)           Availability .  Bank shall make one (1) term loan (“Term Loan II”) available to Borrower in an amount up to $2,000,000, which will be available in one single draw from the Effective Date through the six month anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan II shall be reserved against the Net Borrowing Availability under the Revolving Line which would otherwise be available to Borrower (the “Term Loan II Reserve”).

(b)           Repayment.  Borrower shall repay Term Loan II as follows:  (i) for the first six months after the Funding Date occurs, interest only at the rate provided for herein, and (ii) thereafter, in thirty (30) equal installments of principal plus monthly payments of accrued interest (the “Term Loan II Payment ”). Beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the Funding Date occurs, each Term Loan II Payment shall be payable on the first day of each month.  Borrower’s final Term Loan II Payment, due on the Term Loan II Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under Term Loan II.
 
 
- 2 -

 
 
2.2 Overadvances.  If at any time or for any reason the total of all outstanding Advances and all other monetary Obligations exceeds Net Borrowing Availability (an “ Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to Bank, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay to Bank the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.
 
2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.
 
(a)            Interest Rate;
 
(i)           Advances.  Subject to Section 2.3(b), the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 2.5 percentage points above the Prime Rate; provided, however, after Borrower achieves, if ever, two consecutive fiscal quarters (beginning with any fiscal quarter ending after the Effective Date) of profitability, then the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 1.75 percentage points above the Prime Rate.

(ii)           Term Loan.  Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under Term Loan I shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 2.5 percentage points above the Prime Rate; provided, however, after Borrower achieves, if ever, two consecutive fiscal quarters (beginning with any fiscal quarter ending after the Effective Date) of profitability, then the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 1.75 percentage points above the Prime Rate.
 
(iii)           Term Loan II .  Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under Term Loan II shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 2.5 percentage points above the Prime Rate; provided, however, after Borrower achieves, if ever, two consecutive fiscal quarters (beginning with any fiscal quarter ending after the Effective Date) of profitability, then the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 1.75 percentage points above the Prime Rate.

(b)           Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default (the “Default Rate”).  Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.
 
(c)           Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.
 
(d)           360-Day Year.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
 
(e)           Debit of Accounts.  Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.
 
(f)            Minimum Monthly Interest.  [omitted]
 
(g)           Payment; Interest Computation; Float Charge.  Interest is payable monthly on the last calendar day of each month.  In computing interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. In addition, so long as any principal or interest with respect to any Credit Extension remains outstanding, Bank shall be entitled to charge Borrower a “float” charge in an amount equal to three (3) Business Days interest, at the interest rate applicable to the Advances, on all Payments received by Bank.  Said float charge is not included in interest for purposes of computing Minimum Monthly Interest (if any) under this Agreement. The float charge for each month shall be payable on the last day of the month.  Bank shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower's account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Bank in its good faith business judgment, and Bank may charge Borrower's Designated Deposit Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Bank unpaid.

3.3            Covenant to Deliver.
 
Borrower agrees to deliver to Bank each item required to be delivered to Bank under this Agreement as a condition to any Credit Extension.  Borrower expressly agrees that the extension of a Credit Extension prior to the receipt by Bank of any such item shall not constitute a waiver by Bank of Borrower’s obligation to deliver such item, and any such extension in the absence of a required item shall be in Bank’s sole discretion.

3.4            Procedures for Borrowing.  Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in this Agreement, to obtain an Advance, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Funding Date of the Advance. Together with such notification, Borrower must promptly deliver to Bank by electronic mail or facsimile a completed Transaction Report executed by a Responsible Officer or his or her designee.  Bank shall credit Advances to the Designated Deposit Account.  Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due.  Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee.

This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank or if Bank’s obligation to fund Credit Extensions terminates pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1(c).  Notwithstanding any such termination, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.  If such termination is at Borrower’s election or at Bank’s election due to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Bank, in addition to the payment of any other expenses or fees then-owing, a termination fee in an amount equal to  2.0% of the Maximum Dollar Amount if termination occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and 1.0% of the Maximum Dollar Amount if termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Date; provided that no termination fee shall be charged if the credit facility hereunder is replaced with a new facility from another division of Silicon Valley Bank.  Upon payment in full of the Obligations and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall release its liens and security interests in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

4.2            Authorization to File Financing Statements.  Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code.

In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank.
 
All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.
 
5.3            Accounts Receivable.

All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations.

All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations.

5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions . Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower.

6.3            Accounts Receivable.
 
(a)           Schedules and Documents Relating to Accounts. Borrower shall deliver to Bank transaction reports and schedules of collections, as provided in Section 6.2, on Bank’s standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights in all of Borrower’s Accounts, nor shall Bank’s failure to advance or lend against a specific Account affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights therein.  If requested by Bank, Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or, at Bank’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts.  In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Bank, on its request, the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, and copies of all credit memos.

(b)           Disputes.  Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts.  Borrower may forgive (completely or partially), compromise, or settle any Account for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing so long as (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, in arm’s-length transactions, and reports the same to Bank in the regular reports provided to Bank; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) after taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Advances will not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base.

(c)           Collection of Accounts.  Borrower shall have the right to collect all Accounts, unless and until a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts in trust for Bank, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all such payments and proceeds to Bank in their original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof.  Bank may, in its good faith business judgment, require that all proceeds of Accounts be deposited by Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other “blocked account” as Bank may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Bank may specify in its good faith business judgment.

(f)           No Liability.  Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Bank be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower's obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account.  Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Bank from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.4            Remittance of Proceeds.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(c), deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral to Bank in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof; provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Bank the proceeds of the sale of worn out or obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year).  Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Bank.  Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

6.5           Taxes; Pensions. Timely file all required tax returns and reports and timely pay all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower except for deferred payment of any taxes contested pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 hereof, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms.
 
6.6            Access to Collateral; Books and Records. At reasonable times, on one (1) Business Day’s notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Bank, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s Books. The parties contemplate that such audits will be performed no more frequently than semi-annually, but nothing herein restricts Bank’s right to conduct such audits more frequently if (i) Bank believes that it is advisable to do so in Bank’s good faith business judgment, or (ii) Bank believes in good faith that a Default or Event of Default has occurred. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense, and the charge therefor shall be $750 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.  In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies), Borrower shall pay Bank a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling.

6.7            Insurance.  Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Borrower’s industry and location and as Bank may reasonably request.  Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Bank. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as an additional lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Bank, and all liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. All policies (or the loss payable and additional insured endorsements) shall provide that the insurer must give Bank at least twenty (20) days notice before canceling, amending, or declining to renew its policy. At Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments.  Proceeds payable under any policy shall, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any casualty policy up to $50,000, in the aggregate, toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that any such replaced or repaired property (i) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and (ii) shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under such casualty policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.  If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.7 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Bank, Bank may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.7, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent.
 
6.8            Operating Accounts.
 
(a)          Within forty-five (45) days of the Effective Date and all times thereafter, maintain its and its Subsidiaries’ depository and operating accounts and securities accounts with Bank and Bank’s affiliates which accounts shall represent at least 85% of the dollar value of Borrower’s and such Subsidiaries accounts at all financial institutions.

(b)           Provide Bank five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or its Affiliates.  In addition, for each Collateral Account that Borrower at any time maintains, Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than Bank) at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Bank’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to Bank by Borrower as such.

8.1            Payment Default.  Borrower fails to (a) make any payment of principal or interest on any Credit Extension on its due date, or (b) pay any other Obligations within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations are due and payable.  During the cure period, the failure to cure the payment default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period);
 
8.2            Covenant Default.
 
(a)           Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.6, 6.8, or 6.9, or violates any covenant in Section 7; or

(b)           Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, any Loan Documents, and as to any default (other than those specified in this Section 8) under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower shall have an additional period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during such cure period).  Grace periods provided under this section shall not apply, among other things, to financial covenants or any other covenants set forth in subsection (a) above;
 
8.3            Material Adverse Change. A Material Adverse Change occurs;

These are not Events of Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower within ten days after the date such events occur (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during the cure period);

8.5            Insolvency.  Borrower is unable to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they become due or otherwise becomes insolvent; (b) Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding; or (c) an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days (but no Credit Extensions shall be made while of any of the conditions described in clause (a) exist and/or until any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);

8.6            Other Agreements. There is a default in any agreement to which Borrower or any Guarantor is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $50,000 or that could result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to Borrower’s or any Guarantor; provided, however, that the Event of Default under this Section 8.6 caused by the occurrence of a default under such other agreement shall be cured or waived for purposes of this Agreement upon Bank receiving written notice from the party asserting such default of such cure or waiver of the default under such other agreement, if at the time of such cure or waiver under such other agreement (a) Bank has not declared an Event of Default under this Agreement and/or exercised any rights with respect thereto; (b) any such cure or waiver does not result in an Event of Default under any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document; and (c) in connection with any such cure or waiver under such other agreement, the terms of any agreement with such third party are not modified or amended in any manner which could in the good faith judgment of Bank be materially less advantageous to Borrower or any Guarantor;

8.8            Misrepresentations.  Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to Bank or to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement is incorrect in any material respect when made;
 
 
- 14 -

 
 
8.9             Subordinated Debt. A default or breach occurs under any agreement between Borrower and any creditor of Borrower that signed a subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement with Bank, or any creditor that has signed such an agreement with Bank breaches any terms of such agreement; or

9               BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
 
9.1            Rights and Remedies.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a)           declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b)           stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
 
(c)           demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;
 
(d)           terminate any FX Contracts;
 
(e)           demand payment of, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles comprising Collateral, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts, on terms, and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Account Debtor or other Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, verify the amount of the same and collect the same;

(f)           make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security  interest  in  the  Collateral.  Borrower  shall  assemble  the  Collateral  if  Bank  requests  and  make  it  available  as  Bank designates.  Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
 
(g)           apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
 
(h)           ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral.  Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

(i)            place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;
 
 
- 15 -

 
 
(j)           demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
 
(k)            exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
 
9.2           Power of Attorney . Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3            Protective Payments.  If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.7 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral.  Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter.  No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4           Application of Payments and Proceeds. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, or proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, first, to Bank Expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Bank in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement; second, to the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and third, to the principal of the Obligations and any applicable fees and other charges, in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

9.5            Banks Liability for Collateral.  So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person.  Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6            No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative .  Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith.  No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given.  Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative.  Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.  Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
 
 
- 16 -

 
 
9.7            Demand Waiver.  Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

11           CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE.
 
California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank.  Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court.  Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
 
 
- 17 -

 
 
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
 
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

Exhibit 10.7

 
CREATIVE CONCEPTS HOLDING, INC.
 
MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
 
(As Amended and Restated Effective As of December 30, 2005)
 
WHEREAS, the Board of Creative Concepts Software, Inc. (“CCSI”) adopted the Creative Concepts Software, Inc. Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of January 1, 2004;

WHEREAS, on October 1, 2004, the sole shareholder of CCSI, the Creative Concepts Software, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Trust (the “Shareholder” or the “CCSI ESOP”) transferred all of its CSI shares to Creative Concepts Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) in return for all of the Company’s shares (the “Transfer”);

WHEREAS, as a part of the Transfer, the former CCSI division that operated a repair business became a separate subsidiary of the Company (known as “iTEK Services, Inc.” or “iTEK”), with the CCSI and iTEK thereafter constituting the sole subsidiaries of the Company;

WHEREAS, on December 30, 2005 (the “Restatement Effective Date”) an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) was entered into by and between the Company, CCSI, iTEK, the CCSI ESOP and the iTEK Services, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “iTEK ESOP”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, all of the assets relating to the repair business operated directly by the Company (the “iTEK Business”) were separated from the Company and, except as provided in the Agreement, existing options for shares of CCSI were deemed to become options for shares of both the Company and iTEK;

WHEREAS, in connection with the above-described separation, an option for one share of CCSI was deemed to become an option for each of (A) one share of the Company and (B) one share of iTEK (with such options being for shares of the respective entities on a post-separation basis);

WHEREAS, the Agreement provided that the exercise price applicable to options for CCSI shares would be divided to determine the exercise price for each replacement option (with 35% of the then current per-share exercise price being the per-share exercise price on a post-separation basis for iTEK options and 65% of the current per-share exercise price being the per-share exercise price on a post-separation basis for the Company options);

WHEREAS, the Agreement also provided that options originally granted to William Butler and Greg Henry for shares of CCSI would be adjusted by dividing the original number of their options (100 and 75, respectively) by .65 to give them options for additional CCSI shares (with Messrs. Butler and Henry not receiving options in iTEK as a part of the separation); and

WHEREAS, Section 17 of the Plan provides that the Plan may be amended in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by the board of directors of CCSI and such board of directors now wishes to amend and restate the Plan to reflect
above-described separation and option modifications.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED THAT, the Plan be and hereby is amended and restated into the Creative
Concepts Holding, Inc. Management Incentive Plan  as set forth hereinbelow.
 
*  *  *  *

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Creative Concepts Holding, Inc. Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide (i) key members of the management team of Creative Concepts Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, if any (“Subsidiaries”), (ii) certain independent consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or its Subsidiaries (“Financial Advisors”), (iii) members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and/or (iv) non-management investors in the Company (“Investors”), with the opportunity to acquire shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) or receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares. The Company believes that the Plan will enhance the incentive for Participants (as defined in Section 3) to contribute to the growth of the Company, thereby benefiting the Company, the Participants and the Company’s shareholders, and will align the economic interests of the Participants with those of the shareholders.
 
2. Administration.
 
(a) Committee. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted by a compensation or other committee appointed by the Board (the “Committee”). Prior to the issuance of any class of equity securities of the Company that are required to be registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Committee shall be the Board. After the Company has a class of equity securities that are required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Committee may consist of two or more members of the Board who are “outside directors” as defined under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and  two or more “non-employee directors” as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

(b) Authority of Committee.  Subject to the final sentence of this Section 2(b) below, the Committee has the sole authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to (i) select the employees and other individuals to receive Awards (as defined in Section 4) under the Plan, (ii) determine the type, size and terms of the Awards to be made to each individual selected except as to the Award(s) made to an Investor in his/her Investor capacity, (iii) determine the time when the Awards will be granted and the duration
of any applicable exercise and vesting period, including the criteria for exercisability and vesting and the acceleration of exercisability and vesting, and (iv) deal with any other matter arising under the Plan. The Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan and the Awards granted under the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determination that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned. All powers of the Committee shall be executed in its sole discretion and need not be uniform as to similarly situated individuals. Any act of the Committee with respect to the Plan may only be undertaken and executed with the affirmative consent of at least a majority of the members of the
Committee.  Notwithstanding anything stated in this Section 2(b) above, the criteria for exercisability and vesting (as well as the acceleration of exercisability and vesting) for any Award made hereunder shall be subject to the approval of the trustee (the “Trustee”) of the Company’s employee stock ownership plan (its “ESOP”) and any modification to any said applicable exercise and vesting period shall be made only with the prior written approval of the Trustee.

(c) Responsibility of Committee.  No member of the Board, no member of the Committee and no employee of the Company shall be liable for any act or failure to act hereunder, except in circumstances involving his or her bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for any act or failure to act hereunder by any other member of the Committee or employee of the
Company. The Company shall indemnify members of the Committee and any employee of the Company against any and all liabilities or expenses to which they may be subjected by reason of any act or failure to act with respect to their duties under the Plan, except in circumstances involving their bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company the authority to (i) make grants under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are not officers or directors of the Company, and (ii) execute and deliver documents or take any other ministerial actions on behalf of the Committee with respect to Awards. The grant of authority under this Subsection 2(d) shall be subject to such conditions and limitations as may be determined by the Committee. If the Chief Executive Officer makes grants pursuant to the delegated authority under this Subsection 2(d), references in the Plan to the “Committee” as they relate to making such grants shall be deemed to refer to the Chief Executive Officer.

3. Participants. All employees, officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including members of the Board who are not employees), as well as Investors, independent consultants to the Company or its Subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the Plan.  Consistent with the purposes of the Plan, the Committee shall have exclusive power to select the employees, officers, directors and independent consultants who may participate in the Plan (“Participants”).  Eligible individuals may be selected individually or by groups or categories, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, and designation as a person to receive Awards in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such a person as eligible to receive Awards in any other year.

4. Types of Awards. Awards under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of (a) Incentive Stock Options, and/or (b) Nonqualified Stock Options (each as defined in Section 6 below and as described below, and collectively, “Awards”).  Each Award shall be evidenced by a written Award document for the Participant (an “Award Document”), which need not be identical between Participants or among Awards, in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any Award Document, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail.
 
                                5.  Common Stock Available under the Plan. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards (or with respect to which Awards may be granted) shall be 5,385 shares (the "Share Limit") of Common Stock, which may be authorized and unissued or treasury shares, subject to any adjustments made in accordance with Section 7 hereof. All of the available shares may, but need not, be issued pursuant to the exercise oflncentive Stock Options (as defined in Section 6, below). Within the Share Limit, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted to all Investors shall be 1,000 shares, with 100 shares being the aggregate maximum for all Financial Advisors. Any share of Common Stock subject to an Award that for any reason is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised or vested shall again be available for Awards under the Plan, and any shares of Common Stock exchanged by a Participant as full or partial payment of the Exercise Price under any Award exercised under the Plan and any shares retained by the Company to comply with applicable income tax withholding requirements shall again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that any such availability shall apply only for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards and shall not apply for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares subject to Awards that any individual Participant may receive.

6. Stock Options.  Stock Options will enable a Participant to purchase shares of Common Stock upon set terms and at a fixed purchase price.  Stock Options may be treated as (i) “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code (“Incentive Stock Options”), or (ii) Stock Options which do not constitute Incentive Stock Options (“Nonqualified Stock Options”).  Each Stock Option shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions (including restrictions on acquired shares) as the Committee may impose, subject to the following limitations:

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share (the “Exercise Price”) of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee and may be no less than 100% of the “Fair Market Value” (as defined in Section 11 below) of a share of Common Stock on the date the Stock Option is granted; provided, however, that the Exercise Price may be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Stock Option is granted for any Incentive Stock Option granted to a person who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing (after the application of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all outstanding classes of stock of the Company, its parent or its Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option) may be granted with an Exercise Price lower than the minimum Exercise Price set forth above if such Stock Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another stock option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the
Code.
 
(b) Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be paid in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee (and so long as the same is permissible under then applicable law), by the delivery of shares of Common Stock that have been owned by the Participant for at least six months, or by a combination of these methods.  In the discretion of the Committee (and so long as the same is permissible under then applicable law), payment may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into Award Documents for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The Committee may also prescribe any other method of paying the Exercise Price that it determines to be consistent with applicable law and the purpose of the Plan, including, without limitation, in lieu of the exercise of a Stock Option by delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned by the Participant, providing the Company with a notarized statement attesting to the number of shares owned for at least six months, where upon verification by the Company, the Company would issue to the Participant only the number of incremental shares to which the Participant is entitled upon exercise of the Stock Option.

(c) Exercise Period. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable later than ten years after the date it is granted (such period shall be five years for an Incentive Stock Option granted to a person who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing (after the application of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all outstanding classes of stock of the Company, its parent or Subsidiaries).

(d) Further Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Participants who, at the time of the grant, are employees of the Company or a parent or Subsidiary of the Company, and only at an Exercise Price that is not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the grant. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as of the date of the grant) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under all option plans of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they are granted.  Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to a Participant who, at the time of grant, owned stock possessing (after the application of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all outstanding classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, unless the Exercise Price is fixed at not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option is prohibited by its terms after the expiration of five years from its date of grant.

(e) Termination of Employment, Disability or Death.  Except for a Stock Option granted to an Investor in his/her Investor capacity and as provided below or in an Award Document, a Stock Option may only be exercised while the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (if any), as an employee, a member of the Board, or a consultant. A Participant shall be treated as being employed by the Company while on a bona-fide leave of absence that has been approved by the Company.

(1) In the event that a Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company for any reason other than as described in paragraphs (2) through (4) below, any Stock Option which is otherwise exercisable by the Participant shall terminate unless exercised within 30 days (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and/or provided in the Award Document) after the date on which the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Stock Option.  Except as otherwise provided by the Committee and/or in an Award Document, if a Stock Option is not otherwise exercisable as of the date on which the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company it shall terminate as of such date.
 
(2) In the event the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of a termination for Cause by the Company, any Stock Option held by the Participant shall terminate as of the date the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company.  In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 6, if the Committee determines that the Participant has engaged in conduct that constitutes Cause at any time while the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company, or after the Participant’s termination of employment or service, any Stock Option held by the Participant shall immediately terminate.  In the event the Committee determines that the Participant has engaged in conduct during or after employment or service that constitutes Cause, in addition to the immediate termination of all Stock Options (as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), the Participant’s exercise of a Stock Option shall be null and void if the Company has not yet delivered the applicable share certificates (provided such delivery has not been unreasonably delayed), upon prompt refund by the Company of the Exercise Price paid by the Participant for such shares (subject to any right of setoff by the Company).
 
(3) In the event the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company because the Participant is Disabled, any Stock Option which is otherwise exercisable by the Participant shall terminate unless exercised within 3 months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the date on which the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Stock Option.

(4) If the Participant dies while employed by, or providing service to, the Company, any Stock Option which is otherwise exercisable by the Participant  shall terminate unless exercised within 6 months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Board, in its discretion) after the date on which the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Stock Option.

(5) Paragraphs (1)-(4) above shall not apply to any Stock Option granted to an Investor solely in his/her capacity as an Investor  Paragraph (2) above shall not apply to any Stock Option granted to any non-employee Board member.
 
(6) For purposes of this Section 6(e):
 
(A) The term “Company” shall mean the Company and its Subsidiaries.
 
(B) The terms “Disability” or “Disabled” shall be defined as they are defined in the Company’s disability plan (as said plan presently exists and/or as it may be modified or amended from time to time). A copy of the booklet-certificate that describes the Company’s current disability plan and includes definitions of foregoing terms is attached hereto as Exhibit 6(e)(5) and made a part hereof.

(C) The term “Cause” shall mean, except to the extent specified otherwise by the Committee and/or in a Participant’s Award Document, a finding by the Committee that the Participant (i) has breached any provision of his/her terms of employment or service contract with the Company, including (without limitation) covenants against competition, or (ii) has engaged in (I) either a felony (whether or not with respect to the Company), or (II) disloyalty to the Company, including (without limitation), fraud, embezzlement, theft, or proven dishonesty in the course of his/her employment or service, or (iii) has disclosed trade secrets or confidential information of the Company to persons not entitled to receive such information.

7. Adjustments and Substitute Awards.
 
(a) Adjustments to Awards.  Except as otherwise provided in an Award Document evidencing an Award, in the event of any change as to the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, split-up, split-off, spin-off, capital contribution, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, a sale by the Company of all or part of its assets, or in the event of any distribution to stockholders of other than a normal cash dividend, the Committee shall make an equitable adjustment to (i) the maximum number and/or kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or kind of Awards that can be granted to an individual Participant, (iii) the number and/or kind of shares subject to any outstanding Awards, (iv) the Exercise Price for each outstanding Stock Option, and/or (v) any other terms of any outstanding Awards, and such adjustments shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

(b) Substitute Awards. The Committee may grant Awards in substitution of stock-based incentive awards held by employees of another entity who become employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries by reason of a merger or consolidation of the employing entity with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or the acquisition by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries of property or equity of the employing entity (“Substitute Awards”).  Except as otherwise provided in an Award Document evidencing an Award, Substitute Awards shall be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee determines in its discretion, and they shall not
count against the Share Limit set forth in Section 5.
 
8. Change in Control.
 
(a) Effect.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Committee may accelerate the vesting and exercisability of outstanding Awards, in whole or in part, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Except as otherwise provided in an Award Document evidencing an Award, in its sole discretion, the Committee may also determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each outstanding Stock Option shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Participant thereunder, and each such Participant shall receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option that is then exercisable, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares immediately prior to such Change in Control over the Exercise Price per share of such Stock Option; such amount shall be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine in
its sole discretion.
 
(b) Defined.  For purposes of this Plan, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if:
 
(1) a tender offer (or series of related offers) shall be made and consummated for the ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company;

(2) the Company shall be merged or consolidated with another corporation and as a result of such merger or consolidation less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the former shareholders of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and their affiliates;
 
(3) the Company shall sell substantially all of its assets to another corporation that is not wholly owned by the Company; or

10. Market Stand-Off.
 
(a) In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration (including the Company’s initial public offering), a Participant shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters.  Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters, but in no event shall such period exceed three-hundred and sixty (360) days.
 
(b) A Participant shall be subject to the Market Stand-Off provided and only if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar restrictions.

If Common Stock is publicly traded, then the “Fair Market Value” per share shall be determined as follows: (1) if the principal trading market for the Common Stock is a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, the last reported sale price thereof on the relevant date or, if there were no trades on that date, the latest preceding date upon which a sale was reported, or (2) if the Common Stock is not principally traded on such exchange or market, the mean between the last reported “bid” and “asked” prices of Common Stock on the relevant date, as reported on NASDAQ or, if not so reported, as reported by the National Daily Quotation Bureau, Inc. or as reported in a customary financial reporting service, as applicable and as the Committee determines.

12. Withholding. All distributions made with respect to an Award shall be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. The Company may require a Participant to remit to it or to the Subsidiary that employs a Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any certificates for Common Stock.  In lieu thereof, the Company or the employing corporation shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due to the Participant as the Company shall prescribe. The Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, permit a Participant to pay all or a portion of the federal, state and local withholding taxes arising in connection with any Award by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value that is not in excess of the minimum amount of taxes that must be withheld.

13. Shareholder Rights and Call. A Participant shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a holder of Common Stock for any Common Stock that is subject to an Award, including any rights regarding voting or the payment of dividends (except as expressly provided under the terms of the Award), unless and until a certificate representing such Common Stock has been delivered to the Participant.

15. Tenure. A Participant’s right, if any, to continue to serve the Company or its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor shall not be expanded or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a Participant.

16. No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash shall be paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
 
17. Duration, Amendment and Termination.
 
(a) No Award may be granted more than ten years after the Effective Date (as described in Section 19). The Plan may be amended or suspended in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by the Board, but no amendment shall be effective unless and until the same is approved by the stockholders of the Company where the amendment would (i) increase the total number of shares which may be issued under the Plan or (ii) increase the maximum number of shares which may be issued to any individual Participant under the Plan.  No amendment or suspension of the Plan shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s written consent.

(b) In the event the Plan and/or any Awards made hereunder (i) cause(s) or could cause the Company to violate the non-allocation requirements of Section 409(p) of the Code with respect to the Company’s employee stock ownership plan and/or (ii) fail(s) to meet the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the Plan and the applicable Agreement(s) memorializing the subject Award(s) shall be deemed to be retroactively modified (and shall otherwise be amended by the Board, in its sole discretion), to the limited extent necessary to satisfy, as applicable, the requirements of Sections 409(p) and 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code.

18. Governing Law. This Plan, Awards granted hereunder and actions taken in connection with the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of California regardless of the law that might otherwise apply under any state’s principles of conflicts of laws.

19. Effective Date. The Plan as originally adopted was effective as of January 1, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), which is date as of which the Plan was adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders of CCSI. The Plan as amended and restated hereinabove shall be effective as of December 30, 2005 (the “Restatement Effective Date”); provided, however, that certain amendments to the Plan reflected herein and made pursuant to CCSI board of director resolutions dated as of October 1, 2004, shall be effective as of the date(s) set forth in such resolutions.

Exhibit 14

 
DECISIONPOINT SYSTEMS, INC.
 
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
 
(Adopted by the Board of Directors on [*], 2011)
 
A.  INTRODUCTION
 
This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise but it sets out basic principles to guide all employees of DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (the "Company"). All of our officers, directors and employees must conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. The code should also be provided to and followed by the Company's agents and representatives, including consultants.

Those who violate standards in this Code will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. If you are in a situation that you believe may violate or lead to a violation of this Code, follow the guidelines described in Section 13 of this Code.
 
 
1. 
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS.  Obey the law, both in letter and in spirit. All employees must respect and obey the laws of the cities, states and countries in which we operate. Although not all employees are expected to know the details of these laws, it is important to know enough about them to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel.
 
 
2. 
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. A "conflict of interest" exists when a person's private interests interferes in any way with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her Company work objectively and efficiently. Conflicts of interest may also arise when an employee, officer or director, or members of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company. Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, employees and their family members may create conflicts of interest.

It is almost always a conflict of interest for a Company employee to work simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier. You are not allowed to work for a competitor as a consultant or board member. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with our customers, suppliers or competitors, except on our behalf. Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of Company policy, except under guidelines approved by our Board of Directors. Conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut, so if you have a question, you should consult with higher levels of management. Any employee, officer or director who becomes aware of a conflict or potential conflict should bring it to the attention of a supervisor, manager or other appropriate personnel or consult with the procedures described in Section 14 of this Code.

 
3.
INSIDER TRADING.  Employees who have access to confidential information are not permitted to use or share that information  for  stock  trading  purposes  or  for  any  other  purpose  except  the  conduct  of  our  business. All  non-public information about the Company should be considered confidential information. To use non-public information for personal financial benefit or to "tip" others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information is not only unethical but also illegal.

 
4. 
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES.  Employees, officer and directors are prohibited from taking for themselves personally, opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position without the consent of the Board of Directors. No employee may use corporate property, information or position for improper personal gain and no employee may compete with the Company, directly or indirectly.

 
5. 
COMPETITION AND FAIR DEALING.  We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly. Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information that was obtained without the owner's consent, or inducing such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited. Each officer, director and employee should respect the rights of and deal fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers, competitors and employees. No employee should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other intentional unfair-dealing practice.

The purpose of business entertainment and gifts in a commercial setting is to create good will and sound working relationships, not to gain unfair advantage with customers. No gift, or entertainment should ever be offered, given, provided or accepted by any Company employee, family member of an employee or agent, unless it (a) is not in cash, (b) is consistent with customary business practices, (c) is not excessive in value, (d) cannot be construed as a bribe or payoff and (e) does not violate any laws or regulations. Please discuss with your supervisor any gifts or proposed gifts that you are not certain are appropriate.

 
6. 
DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT.  The diversity of the Company's employees is a tremendous asset. We are firmly  committed  to  providing  equal  opportunity  in  all  respects  aspects  of  employment  and  will  not  tolerate  illegal discrimination or harassment of any kind. Examples include derogatory comments based on racial or ethnic characteristics and unwelcome sexual advances.

 
7. 
HEALTH AND SAFETY.  The Company strives to provide each employee with a safe and healthy work environment. Each employee has responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all employees by following safety and health rules and practices and reporting accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices or conditions.

Violence and threatening behavior are not permitted. Employees should report to work in condition to perform their duties, free from the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol. The use of alcohol and/or illegal drugs in the workplace will not be tolerated.

 
8. 
RECORD-KEEPING.  The Company requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions.
 
All of the Company's books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company's transactions and must conform to both applicable legal requirements and to the Company's systems of accounting and internal controls. Unrecorded or "off the books" funds or assets should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable laws or regulations.

Records should always be retained or destroyed according to the Company's record retention policies. In accordance with these policies, in the event of litigation or governmental investigation please consultant your supervisor. All e-mail communications are the property of the Company and employees, officers and directors should not expect that Company or personal e-mail communications are private. All e-mails are the property of the Company. No employee, officer or director shall use Company computers, including access to the internet, for personal or non-Company business.

 
9.
CONFIDENTIALITY.  Employees must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, except when disclosure is required by laws or regulations. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. It also includes information that suppliers and customers have entrusted to us. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends. In connection with this obligation, employees, officers and directors may be required to execute confidentiality agreements confirming their agreement to be bound not to disclose confidential information. If you are uncertain whether particular information is confidential or non-public, please consult your supervisor.

 
10. 
PROTECTION AND PROPER USE OF COMPANY ASSETS.  All officers, directors and employees should endeavor to protect the Company's assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company's profitability. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be immediately reported for investigation. Company equipment should not be used for non-Company business.

The obligation of officers, directors and employees to protect the Company's assets includes it proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well as business, marketing and service plans, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, records, salary information and any unpublished financial data and reports. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information would violate Company policy. It could also be illegal and result in civil or even criminal penalties.

 
11. 
PAYMENTS  TO  GOVERNMENT  PERSONNEL.   The  Unites  States  Foreign  Corrupt  Practices Act  prohibits  giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or foreign political candidates in order to obtain or retain business. It is strictly prohibited to make illegal payments to government officials of any country.

In addition, the U. S. government has a number of laws and regulations regarding business gratuities that may be accepted by U. S. government personnel. The promise, offer or delivery to an official or employee of the U. S. government of a gist, favor or other gratuity in violation of these rules would not only violate Company policy, but could also be a criminal offense. State and local governments, as well as foreign governments, may have similar rules.
 
 
12. 
WAIVERS OF THE CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS. Any waiver of the provisions of this Code may be made only by the Board of Directors and will be promptly disclosed as required by law or stock exchange rule or regulation.
 
13.
REPORTING ANY ILLEGAL OR  UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR.  Employees  are  encouraged  to  talk  with  supervisors, managers or Company officials about observed illegal or unethical behavior, and when in doubt about the best course of action in a particular situation. It is the Company's policy not to allow retaliation for reports of misconduct by others made in good faith by employees. Employees are expected to cooperate in internal investigations of misconduct, and the failure to do so could serve as grounds for termination.
 
Any employee may submit a good faith concern regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters without fear of dismissal or retaliation of any kind.

B.  CODE OF ETHICS FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS
 
The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is applicable to all employees, officers and directors of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and senior financial officers of the Company, including its chief financial officer and principal accounting officer, are bound by the provisions set forth therein relating to ethical conduct, conflicts of interest and compliance with law. However, in addition to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the CEO and senior financial officers of the Company are also subject to the following specific policies:

The CEO and senior financial officers are responsible for full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the periodic reports and other filings required to be made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the CEO and each senior financial officer promptly to bring to the attention of the Board of Directors any material information of which he or she may become aware that affects the disclosures made by the Company in its public filings or otherwise impairs the ability of the Company to make full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable public disclosures.

The CEO and each senior financial officer shall promptly bring to the attention of the Company's Audit Committee and/or the full Board of Directors any information he or she may have concerning (a) significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
internal controls which could adversely affect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company's financial reporting, disclosures or internal controls.

The CEO and each senior financial officer shall promptly bring to the attention of the Board of Directors and/or the Audit Committee any information he or she may have concerning any violation of the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, including any actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, involving management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company's financial reporting, disclosures or internal controls.

The CEO and each senior financial officer shall promptly bring to the attention of the Board of Directors and/or Audit Committee any information he or she may have concerning evidence of a material violation of the securities or other laws, rules or regulations applicable to the Company and the operation of its business, by the Company or any agent thereof, or of violation of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or of these additional procedures.

The Board of Directors shall determine, or designate appropriate persons to determine appropriate actions to be taken in the event of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of these additional procedures by the CEO and the Company's senior financial officers. Such actions shall be reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and to these additional procedures, and shall include written notices to the individual involved that the Board has determined that there has been a violation, censure by the Board, demotion or reassignment of the individual involved, suspension with or without pay or benefits (as determined by the Board) and termination of the individual's employment. In determining what action is appropriate in a particular case, the Board of Directors or such designee shall take into account all relevant information, including the nature and severity of the violation, whether the violation was a single occurrence or repeated occurrences, whether the violation appears to have been intentional or inadvertent, whether the individual in question had been advised prior to the violation as to the proper course of action and whether or not the individual in question had committed other violations in the past.

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.

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.

In addition, for the year ending December 31, 2009, 1,105,000 warrants to purchase common stock have been excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share as their exercise price is greater than the average market price per common share and their effect is potentially anti-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:
 
 Description       December 31, 2009  
       
 Beginning balance - January 1, 2009      
       Issuances   $ 128,639  
       Realized gain (1)      (55,929 )
         
 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 – Employees and Investors – During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, the Company issued subordinated convertible debt totaling $1,666,024 with ten year terms to employees and investors in connection with the ESOP purchase transaction.  Interest accrues at rates ranging from Prime plus 6% to Prime plus 8% subject to minimum rates ranging from 12% to 14% and maximum rates ranging from 14% to 16%. At the date of the Merger, there was $1,666,024 of convertible debt outstanding.  Concurrent with the completion of the Merger, $1,594,524 of the subordinated convertible debt was converted into 3,603,874 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Two holders elected not to convert their balances totaling $71,500 which was fully repaid in September 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.

NOTE 10 - ESOP PLAN

In December 2003, the Company formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) and loaned the ESOP $1,950,000 (the “ESOP Note”) that the ESOP Trust (“Trust”) used to acquire 8,162,557 shares of the of the Company’s stock from its former stockholder for $1,300,000 and 4,080,667 shares from the Company for $650,000. The ESOP Note bears interest at a rate of 5.25% with annual principal and interest payments and has a 15-year term. The amount owed to the Company under the Note as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, was $1,142,101 and $1,254,726, respectively. The ESOP Note is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as unearned ESOP shares in stockholders’ deficit.

The ESOP 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 a minimum $130,000 per year, to repay the ESOP Note held by the Company. The Company’s contribution expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $178,498 representing $112,625 for the ESOP principal payment and $65,873 for the ESOP interest. The Company’s contribution expense for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $185,248 representing $107,007 for the ESOP principal payment and $78,241 for the ESOP interest. The ESOP Note is secured by the unallocated Company stock held by the Trust.

ESOP shares are allocated to individual employee accounts as the loan obligation of the ESOP to the Company is reduced. These amounts are calculated on an annual basis by an outside, independent financial advisor. The ESOP held 6,404,377 shares of unallocated Company stock and 5,838,847 shares of allocated Company stock as of December 31, 2009. As at December 31, 2008, the ESOP held 7,205,137 shares of unallocated Company stock and 5,038,087 shares of allocated Company stock.

Compensation costs relating to shares purchased are based on the fair value of shares committed to be released. The unreleased shares are not considered outstanding in the computation of earnings per common share.  Dividends received on ESOP shares are allocated based on shares held for the benefit of each participant and used to purchase additional shares of stock for each participant. The Company has not received any dividends since the inception of the plan. ESOP compensation expense consisting of both cash contributions and shares committed to be released for 2009 and 2008,was  $178,498 and $185,248, respectively.

NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTION PLAN

In January 2004, the Company established the 2004 Incentive and Non-Incentive Stock Option Plan (“2004 Plan”) which was originally adopted by the Board of Directors of DecisionPoint and was assumed by the Company 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 were outstanding. On June 18, 2009, pursuant to the Merger, the 2004 Plan was amended and each share of common stock then subject to the 2004 Plan was substituted with 1224.32 shares of common stock, for an aggregate of 6,592,976 shares authorized and 6,558,097 granted. Under the 2004 Plan, common stock incentives may be granted to officers, employees, directors, consultants, and advisors. Incentives under the 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, the Company  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 the success of the Company. 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 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 ten percent 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 of a share of common stock on the date of grant.

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.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Leases - The Company leases its office and warehouse facilities under various operating leases.  The Company has an ancillary administration office located in Parsippany, New Jersey where the Company leases 3,600 square feet. The executive offices and West coast sales and operations are located in Foothill Ranch, California where the Company leases 7,500 square feet. In addition, the Company leases 3,000 square feet in Shelton, Connecticut for its East coast sales and operations and 2,000 square feet in South Plainfield, New Jersey for its East coast depot operation. These facilities are expected to accommodate the Company’s needs for the foreseeable future.

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    $ 223,947  
 2011     105,242

 2013     60,054  
 2014      16,868  
         
    $ 467,036  
 
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.
