REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING  FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Cicero Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SOAdesk LLC as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations and members’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended.  SOAdesk LLC’s management is responsible for these financial statements. 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SOAdesk LLC 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008





Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

 
Use of Estimates

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, which significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, research and development assets and restructuring costs. In addition, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income taxes. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of these provisions will have an effect on accounting for any business acquired after the effective date of this standard.


Note 2 - Accounts Receivable

Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 is $20,000 due from Cicero Inc. (see Note 7) for consulting services rendered and billed in the amount of $50,000 during the year end December 31, 2009. The Company does not require collateral from its customers.
