PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.

As previously reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 23, 2008, Reznick Group, P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accountants (“Reznick”), resigned as the Company’s independent accountant effective April 16, 2008. Reznick indicated that it resigned because it believed that its independence had been impaired as a result of certain communications from the Class D members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company has been unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of Reznick’s resignation, the Company’s inability to retain a new independent accountant and the Company’s resulting inability to comply with the Regulation S-X requirement that financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K be audited prior to filing. In addition, the Company is not able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-Q”) in a timely manner because it has been unable to retain a new independent accountant to review the interim financial statements to be included in the Form 10-Q.

As disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2008, the Company filed a counterclaim for preliminary and permanent injunction against the Company’s Class D directors, Seth Hamot and Andrew Siegel. In response to the Company’s counterclaim, on May 1, 2008 Judge Albert Matricciani issued an order “to preserve the status quo until a hearing may be conducted.” The Order, among other things, states that Class D Directors Hamot and Siegel “must cease, desist and refrain from any and all direct or indirect, verbal or written, contact or communication with the Company’s past, current and future auditors, including without limitation Goodman & Company, LLP, (“Goodman”) and Reznick Group (“Reznick”).” The hearing on the motion for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief is currently scheduled for June 24, 2008. If successful, it is the Company’s desire to re-engage Reznick as its independent accountant. However, there are no assurances that the Company’s efforts will be successful and that Reznick will be re-engaged.

Attachment A

Explanation Referred to in Part IV, Item (3) of Form 12b-25

AS REFERENCED IN PART III OF THIS FORM 12B-25, THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BELOW HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT:

The Company’s sales for the first quarter of 2008 were $47.7 million, an increase of $7.5 million compared to the same period in 2007, primarily attributable to increase in services revenue on the NETCENTS (Network-Centric Solutions) contract.

The Company’s cost of sales for the first quarter of 2008 was $38.1 million, an increase of $10.7 million compared to the same period in 2007, due primarily to the increase in sales.

The Company’s gross profit for the first quarter of 2008 was $9.6 million, a decrease of $3.2 million compared to the same period in 2007, primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of higher margin proprietary software business offerings.

The Company’s selling, general, and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2008 was $6.4 million, a decrease of approximately $2.7 million compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to a reduction of net litigation-related expenses.

The Company’s net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $1.1 million, compared to $1.7 million in same period in 2007. The $0.6 million decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of higher margin proprietary software business offerings.
