Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Internet Commerce Corporation (the “Company” or “ICC”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying financial statements do not include all the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2004. Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2005.

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

     The Company’s main source of revenue is derived from subscriptions to its value added network (“VAN”) sold under the brand name ICC.NET™. These services include transaction, mailbox and fax transmission activities for which fees are charged. Revenue is also derived from fixed fee data mapping and professional internet services. In addition, the Company operates a Service Bureau with revenue derived from electronic data interchange (“EDI”) services including data translation services, purchase order and invoice processing from EDI-to-print and print-to-EDI, Universal Product Code (“UPC”) number generation, UPC catalog maintenance and UPC label printing. The Company also sells EDI software and software maintenance, the revenue of which is immaterial in the periods presented.

2. RECENT EVENTS

     On March 17, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of QRS Corporation’s (“QRS”) Managed ECÔ business (“MEC”), from the parent company of QRS, Inovis International, Inc. In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) of that date, the Company received tangible assets of approximately $861,000, which included a cash payment of approximately $231,000, fixed assets of approximately $210,000 and a lease security deposit of approximately $420,000 that will be recorded as restricted cash. Under the Agreement, the Company assumed estimated liabilities of approximately $2.9 million, which consist of the estimated present value expense of an unfavorable lease on space housing the MEC operations in New York City of approximately $2.5 million and estimated costs of closing the New York facility and other transition and employment costs of approximately $376,000.

     The Company intends to close the MEC operations in New York City and move the MEC operations to the Company’s existing Carrollton, Georgia service center (“Carrollton”). The Company is actively seeking a sublessee for the New York City lease, has substantially completed the hiring process for the additional personnel required in Carrollton, is in the process of updating its physical facility in Carrollton and is executing a transition plan for moving the document processing for the MEC customer base to Carrollton and to the Company’s VAN for EDI delivery. The Company estimates these activities will be completed sometime in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The operating results of MEC are included in the Service Bureau segment. See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – “Acquisition of QRS Corporation’s Managed ECÔ Assets” for a description of the accounting treatment for the purchase of these assets.

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures

Deferred revenue:

     Deferred revenue is comprised of deferrals for subscription fees, professional services, license fees, and maintenance associated with contracts for which amounts have been received in advance of services to be performed.

Stock-based Compensation:

     In January 2004, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). SFAS 123 established a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The fair value of stock options and stock-based compensation plans is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is being expensed over the vesting period of the related stock options and stock-based compensation plans. Pursuant to the transition provisions of SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS 148), the Company has elected the prospective method and will apply the fair value method of accounting to all equity instruments issued to employees on or after August 1, 2003. The fair value method is not applied to stock option awards granted in fiscal years prior to 2004. Such awards will continue to be accounted for under the intrinsic value method pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB25”), except to the extent that prior years’ awards are modified subsequent to August 1, 2003. Therefore, the cost related to stock-based employee compensation included in the determination of the net loss for 2004 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards since their date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to all stock-based compensation in each period:

                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended

Pro forma
  $ 0.01     $ (0.05 )   $ (0.04 )   $ (0.25 )

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

     On December 6, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. The approach to accounting for share-based payments in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values and no longer allows pro forma disclosure as an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company has used financial statement recognition since its adaptation of Statement 123.

Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures (continued)

     In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue generating activities. The EITF was effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this consensus, effective August 1, 2003, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For financial instruments created before the issuance date of this Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption, transition shall be achieved by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle by initially measuring the financial instruments at fair value or other measurement attribute required by this Statement. The adoption of this Statement, effective August 1, 2003, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

4. Pro Forma Disclosures Related To Recent Acquisitions

     In June 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Electronic Commerce Systems, Inc. (“ECS”). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 25, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), ICC Acquisition Corporation, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICC, merged with and into ECS and ECS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICC. ICC issued a total of 1,941,409 shares of its class A common stock, valued at $2,465,589, in connection with the acquisition, of which 345,183 shares were issued in exchange for approximately $471,000 of outstanding debt ECS owed to certain of its shareholders and in payment of ECS’s legal fees. In determining the purchase price of the acquisition, the shares of ICC class A common stock issued were valued at $1.28 per share, the average market price of ICC’s class A common stock over the 2-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced.

     The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information presents the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition of ECS had occurred on August 1, 2003. The pro forma results are shown for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of the Company that would have been reported had the acquisition of ECS occurred on August 1 or indicative of results that may occur in the future.

6. Stock Options Cancellation and Exchange:

     In January 2004, the Company implemented a voluntary stock option exchange program whereby the Company offered to exchange certain outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s class A common stock held by eligible employees of the Company, with exercise prices per share greater than or equal to $11.50, for new options to purchase shares of the Company’s class A common stock (the “Offer to Exchange”). Under the terms of the Offer to Exchange, the 26 participating employees agreed to cancel, as of January 30, 2004, their existing options to purchase a total of 823,500 shares of the Company’s common stock and were granted options to purchase 494,100 shares of the Company’s class A common stock with an exercise price of $1.25 per share, the closing market price per share on January 20, 2004. Each new employee option was fully vested at the date of grant. Additionally, under the terms of the Offer to Exchange, two directors cancelled as of January 30, 2004 existing options to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s class A common stock and were granted options to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The options granted to directors vest in two equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. One director was eligible but declined to participate in the exchange and surrendered to the Company options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s class A common stock at an exercise price of $19.00 per share.

7. Guarantees and Indemnifications

     As part of its standard license agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify its customers against liability if the Company’s products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. Historically, the Company has not incurred any significant costs related to performance under these indemnities. As of April 30, 2005, the Company was not subject to any litigation alleging that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties.

8. Accounts Receivable Financing Agreement

     On May 30, 2003, the Company executed an Accounts Receivable Financing Agreement (“Financing Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”) with a term of one year. Under the Financing Agreement, the Company may borrow, subject to certain conditions, up to 80% of its outstanding accounts receivable up to a maximum of $2,000,000. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus .35% plus a collateral handling fee equal to .20% on the average daily outstanding financed receivable balance. On October 22, 2003; August 31, 2004 and December 29, 2004, the Company and the Bank amended the Financing Agreement to extend its term to August 31, 2004; December 29, 2004 and February 12, 2005, respectively.

     On March 16, 2005, the Company executed a fourth loan modification agreement that changes the interest under the Financing Agreement to prime rate plus .25% plus a collateral handling fee equal to .15% on the average daily outstanding financed receivable balance as long as the Company maintains an Adjusted Quick Ratio (as defined in the Financing Agreement) of not less 1.25 to 1. Should the Company fail to maintain an Adjusted Quick Ratio of 1.25 to 1, the interest rises to prime rate plus .75% and the collateral handling fee increases to .35% on the average daily outstanding financed receivable balance. As of April 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, no amounts were outstanding under the Financing Agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this Report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “continue” and “intend,” and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various factors including, without limitation, those described below the heading “Overview” and in our registration statements and periodic reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

     Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Quarterly Report as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.

     In this Item 2, references to the “Company,” “we,” or “us” means Internet Commerce Corporation.

Overview

     We are in the e-commerce (“EC”) business-to-business communication services market providing complete EC infrastructure solutions. Our business operates in two segments: namely, ICC.NET ™ and Service Bureau.

12


Table of Contents

     ICC.NET ™ includes the Company’s global Internet-based value added network, or VAN, which uses the Internet and our proprietary technology to deliver our customers’ documents and data files to members of their trading communities, many of which may have incompatible systems, by translating the documents and data files into any format required by the receiver. We believe that our ICC.NET ™ service has certain advantages over traditional VANs as well as email-based and other Internet-based software systems because our service is provided at a low cost, with a transmission speed that is nearly real-time and offers features that facilitate the development and operation of comprehensive business-to-business e-commerce solutions. Our Service Bureau manages and translates the data of small and mid-sized companies that exchange EDI data with large companies that require that data be transmitted to them electronically. The Service Bureau delivers business-to-business EDI standards-based documents for companies that do not have EDI capabilities.

     The value added network business has become significantly more price competitive over the last few years, with major networks restructuring to reduce their overhead cost to be better positioned to compete on a price point basis against Internet based networks such as ICC.NET ™ . We have been successful in maintaining our margins through cost reductions, but we have experienced continued price erosion in competing for larger customers. Although we expect to continue to add new customers and increase the volume of data transmitted through our service, we do not expect our revenue from VAN services to continue to grow as rapidly as in the past. This trend is expected to continue in the short term until such time as a cost-based pricing floor is reached by our larger competitors. To counteract this negative impact on our revenue growth, management has deployed a dual pronged strategy. We are adding revenue through strategic acquisitions and have developed additional product and service offerings (AS2 and Data Synchronization) to improve our value proposition. AS2 is a service offering on the Internet which handles primary XML documents that are an extension of traditional EDI. We have incorporated this communication methodology into our standard network services and continue to attract customer’s network traffic in competition to those who could otherwise purchase an AS2 software offering.

     We rely on many of our competitors to interconnect, at reasonable cost, with our service and have interconnection arrangements with more than 65 business-to-business networks for the benefit of our customers. We believe that these arrangements will satisfy the business requirements of our existing customers, but there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case.

     During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2005, we further improved our operational leverage by increasing our consolidated revenue by $1,495,766 over the same period from the prior year and by eliminating our operating loss of $641,565 from the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2004 and reporting the Company’s first operating income of $282,532.

     Consolidated revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2005 increased from the three months ended January 31, 2005 by $895,012 primarily due to revenue generated from the MEC acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition, valuation of acquired intangibles and impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of investments to be critical policies due to the estimation process involved in each. Management discusses its estimates and judgments with the company’s Audit Committee of the board of directors.

     For a more detailed description on the application of these and other accounting policies, see in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. Reference is also made to the discussion of the application of these critical accounting policies and estimates contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our annual report on Form 10-K for 2004. During the nine months ended April 30, 2005 there were no significant or material changes in the application of critical accounting policies that would require an update to the information provided in the Form 10-K for 2004.

Acquisition of QRS Corporation’s Managed ECÔ Assets

     On March 17, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of QRS Corporation’s (“QRS”) Managed ECÔ business (“MEC”), from the parent company of QRS, Inovis International, Inc. (“Inovis”). The consideration for the acquisition of these assets was the assumption of certain liabilities that have been recorded on the Company’s books per Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 “Business Combinations” (“FASB 141”). The Company was aided in arriving at the estimates required under FASB 141 by a third party valuation.

     As part of the transaction, the Company assumed an unfavorable lease as defined by FASB 141. The Company has recorded the present value of the estimated difference between the cash amounts due under the existing terms of the lease; cash received from Inovis as part of the transaction plus the estimated current market value of cash flows receivable under the terms of an assumed sublease. The estimates of the sublease cash flows are subject to change as per FASB 141. As of the date of the transaction, the Company recorded approximately $2,291,000 as other liabilities under the assumed lease. In addition, the Company assumed certain employee obligations, transition services fees payable to Inovis and other estimated closing costs of the MEC New York location that have been recorded as other accrued liabilities for approximately $466,000.

     Under the FASB 141 allocation, the Company recorded fixed assets and leasehold improvements of approximately $210,000, restricted cash of approximately $420,000, intangibles for customer relationships of approximately $737,000 and goodwill of approximately $1,159,000. The recorded fixed assets are estimated to have a life of two years; the leasehold improvements over the term of the lease and the customer relationship intangible will be amortized over five years. The recorded goodwill will be subject to annual impairment testing under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

Stock-Based Compensation

     In January 2004, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). The fair value of stock options and stock-based compensation plans as determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is being expensed over the vesting period of the related stock options and stock-based compensation plans. The use of this model required management to make certain estimates for values of variables used by the model. Management estimated the values for stock price volatility, the expected life of the equity instruments and the risk free rate based on information that was available to management at the time the Black-Scholes option-pricing calculations were performed. During the three and nine-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Company recorded non-cash charges for stock-based compensation of $145,013 and $549,321, respectively.

Warrants Issued for April 2004 Private Placement

     The Company has entered into several transactions involving the issuance of warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company’s class A common stock to consultants, lenders, warrant holders, placement agents and other business associates and vendors. The issuance of these securities required management to estimate their value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In connection with the Company’s April 2004 private placement, the Company incurred fees that were paid by issuing warrants to purchase 283,170 shares of class A common stock at an exercise price of $2.22 per share. The fair value of the warrants was determined by management to be $225,905 by utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

     Revenues – ICC.NET Revenue from ICC.NET ™ services was 62% of consolidated revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2005 (“2005 Quarter”) compared to 89% for the quarter ended April 30, 2004 (“2004 Quarter”), reflecting the increased revenue in the Service Bureau segment due the acquisition of ECS and MEC. ICC.NET™ service revenues increased $179,000, or 7%, to $2,740,000 for the 2005 Quarter compared to $2,562,000 for the 2004 Quarter. VAN service revenue increased $281,000, or 12%, to $2,578,000 for the 2005 Quarter compared to $2,297,000 for the 2004 Quarter. The additional revenue was primarily due to increased volume in VAN traffic and an increase in the monthly mailbox fee during the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2004. Professional services revenue decreased $78,000, or 43%, to $104,000 for the 2005 Quarter compared to $182,000 for the 2004 Quarter. This decrease is primarily due to the Company’s inability to source new customers for the professional services we provide. Mapping services revenue decreased $25,000, or 30%, to $58,000 for the 2005 Quarter compared to $83,000 for the 2004 Quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of customers coupled with smaller mapping projects. The decrease in customers stems from cheaper, overseas competition for similar services and potential customers using their own internal resources aided by improved mapping software tools.

of ECS and MEC. ICC.NET ™ service revenues increased $465,000, or 6%, to $8,307,000 for the 2005 Nine Months compared to $7,842,000 for the 2004 Nine Months.

The increase was primarily due to an increase in the monthly mailbox fee and increased VAN traffic volume. Professional service revenue decreased $493,000, or 60%, to $324,000 for the 2005 Nine Months compared to $816,000 for the 2004 Nine Months. This decrease is primarily due to the Company’s inability to source new customers for the professional services we provide and to a decrease of $149,000 in revenue from EDI educational services and seminars. We discontinued our EDI educational services and seminars in January 2004. Mapping service revenue decreased $79,000, or 31%, to $174,000 for the 2005 Nine Months compared to $253,000 for the 2004 Nine Months. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of customers coupled with smaller mapping projects. The decrease in customers stems from cheaper, overseas competition for similar services and potential customers using their own internal resources aided by improved mapping software tools.

Cost of services consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, connectivity fees, amortization, allocation from product and development and rent. This decrease was the result of a $630,000 decrease in salaries and benefits due to a reduction in personnel, an $195,000 decrease in connectivity fees due to a switch in our primary connectivity vendor, and a $87,000 decrease in rent due primarily to a decrease in office space occupied by client services personnel. The decrease was also as a result of a $161,000 decrease in allocation of product and development costs due to a decrease in headcount in product development as well as a decrease in depreciation of $59,000 for the 2005 Nine Months from the 2004 Nine Months.

     Product development and enhancement ICC.NET ™ – Product development and enhancement costs decreased $185,000, or 32%, to $396,000 for the 2005 Nine Months compared to $581,000 for the 2004 Nine Months. Salaries and benefits decreased $279,000 in the 2005 Nine Months from the 2004 Nine Months. Depreciation expense decreased $27,000 in the 2005 Nine Months from the 2004 Nine Months due to assets reaching the end of their useful lives subsequent to the 2004 Nine Months.

     Selling and marketing – ICC.NET ™ – Selling and marketing expenses decreased $666,000, or 29%, to $1,652,000 for 2005 Nine Months compared to $2,318,000 for 2004 Nine Months. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, travel-related costs, rent, depreciation, advertising and trade-show costs. This decrease was due primarily to a $423,000 decrease in salaries and benefits and a $117,000 decrease in travel expenses attributable to a decrease in the number of employees to 8 at the end of the 2005 Nine Months from 14 at the end of the 2004 Nine Months. In addition, commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company began allocating a portion of the cost of sales and marketing functions to the Service Bureau segment based on the level of effort utilized in selling Service Bureau products. The allocation was $72,000 for the 2005 Nine Months.

     General and administrative – ICC.NET ™ — General and administrative expenses increased $827,000, or 32%, to $3,431,000 for the 2005 Nine Months compared to $2,603,000 for the 2004 Nine Months. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, facility costs, legal and professional fees, insurance, travel meals and entertainment and depreciation. Salaries and benefits increased $931,000 in the 2005 Nine Months from the 2004 Nine Months due to retention payments of $118,000 as a result of the move out of New York City, establishment of an executive bonus program, and the strengthening of executive management by the addition of a new chief executive officer and chief operating officer in March 2004. One-time relocation expenses for the corporate office including moving costs were approximately $50,000 in the 2005 Nine Months and Bad debt expense increased by $138,000 in the 2005 Nine Months from the 2004 Nine Months due primarily to fully reserving an allowance for a large overdue customer balance due to bankruptcy. These increases were offset by an increase in the corporate allocation to the Service Bureau. Commencing in the second fiscal quarter of 2003, ICC.NET began allocating a portion of the cost of executive management, human resources, accounting and finance functions to the Service Bureau segment based on the level of services provided, and in the 2005 Quarter, the cost of

Bad debt expense increased $75,000 in the 2005 Nine Months from the 2004 Nine Months due to the addition of estimated reserves required for uncollected accounts. Rent, travel, depreciation and telephone costs increased $55,000, $26,000, $26,000 and $29,000, respectively, in the 2005 Nine Months from the 2004 Nine Months as a result of the addition of new facilities resulting from the acquisition of ECS. Allocation of general and administrative expenses from ICC.NET™ increased $285,000 in the 2005 Nine Months from the 2004 Nine Months. See “General and administrative - ICC.NET™” above for a discussion of the allocation of general and administrative expenses between segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our principal sources of liquidity, which consist of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, decreased to $3,576,000 as of April 30, 2005 from $3,790,000 as of July 31, 2004. We believe these resources will provide us with sufficient liquidity to continue in operation through July 31, 2005.

     On April 20, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “2004 Private Placement”) that provided aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4,955,000. In the 2004 Private Placement, the Company sold 2,831,707 shares of its class A common stock and warrants to purchase 849,507 shares of our class A common stock. These warrants are exercisable for five years commencing on October 20, 2004 at an exercise price of $2.22 per share.

     In connection with the 2004 Private Placement, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $772,001, of which $423,274 was paid in cash at closing, $122,822 is payable in cash and $225,905 was paid by issuing warrants to purchase 283,170 shares of class A common stock. The fair value of the warrants was estimated by management using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. These warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued in the 2004 Private Placement. No directors, officers or entities with which the Company’s directors, or officers are affiliated participated in the 2004 Private Placement.

     Under the terms of the 2004 Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, dated as of April 20, 2004, and filed a registration statement with the SEC on April 30, 2004 pursuant to this agreement. The registration statement was declared effective on August 20, 2004 and the Company

is required to pay the holders of shares issued in the 2004 Private Placement liquidated damages totaling $3,300 because of a two-day delay in causing the registration statement to become effective. If the effectiveness of the registration statement is not maintained for the period required by the registration rights agreement, the Company may be required to pay to the holders of shares issued in the 2004 Private Placement liquidated damages of one percent of the purchase price paid for the shares by the holders for each 30 day period (or portion thereof on a pro rata basis) that the effectiveness of the registration statement is not maintained.

     On May 30, 2003, the Company executed an Accounts Receivable Financing Agreement (“Financing Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“the Bank”) with a term of one year. Under the Financing Agreement, the Company may borrow, subject to certain conditions, up to 80% of its outstanding accounts receivable up to a maximum of $2,000,000. The applicable interest rate is the prime rate plus .35% plus a collateral handling fee equal to .20% on the average daily outstanding receivable balance, and interest is payable monthly. The Financing Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that are customary for a commercial transaction of this type, including, without limitation, restrictions on the disposition or encumbrance of the collateral pledged to the Bank, restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness and restrictions on the payment of dividends and the redemption or repurchase of any capital stock. In addition, the Company is required to maintain at all times a ratio of Quick Assets (i.e., consolidated, unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, net accounts receivable and investments with maturities of fewer than 12 months determined according to GAAP) to Current Liabilities (i.e., all obligations and liabilities of the Company to Bank, plus, without duplication, the aggregate amount of the Company’s total liabilities which mature within one year) minus Deferred Revenue (i.e., all amounts received in advance of performance under contracts and not yet recognized as revenue) of at least 1.10 to 1.0. The Bank has been granted a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. On October 22, 2003; August 31, 2004 and December 29, 2004, the Company and the Bank amended the Financing Agreement to extend its term to August 31, 2004; December 29, 2004 and February 15, 2005, respectively

     On March 16, 2005, the Bank approved a fourth loan modification agreement extending the term an additional year that changes the interest under the Financing Agreement to prime rate plus .25% plus a collateral handling fee equal to .15% on the average daily outstanding financed receivable balance as long as the Company maintains an Adjusted Quick Ratio (as defined in the Financing Agreement) of not less 1.25 to 1. Should the Company fail to maintain an Adjusted Quick Ratio of 1.25 to 1, the interest rises to prime rate plus .75% and the collateral handling fee increases to ..35% on the average daily outstanding financed receivable balance. As of April 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, no amounts were outstanding under the Financing Agreement.

     The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $78.5 million as of July 31, 2004. These carryforwards expire from 2007 to 2024. The Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations contain provisions which limit the use of available net operating loss carryforwards in any given year should significant changes (greater than 50%) in ownership interests occur. Due to the initial public offering in January 1995, the net operating loss carryover of approximately $1.9 million incurred prior to the initial public offering is subject to an annual limitation of approximately $400,000 until that portion of the net operating loss is utilized or expires. Due to the private placement of series A preferred stock in April 1999, the net operating loss carryover of approximately $18 million incurred prior to the private placement and subsequent to the initial public offering is subject to an annual limitation of approximately $1 million until that portion of the net operating loss is utilized or expires. Due to a 100% ownership change of RTCI in November 2000, the acquired net operating loss of approximately $6.5 million incurred prior to the ownership change is subject to an annual limitation of approximately $1.4 million until that portion of the net operating loss is utilized or expires. Also, due to a 100% ownership change of ECS in June 2004, the acquired net operating loss of approximately $1.1 million incurred prior to the ownership change is subject to an annual limitation of approximately $128,000 until that portion of the net operating loss is utilized or expires.

Consolidated Working Capital

     Consolidated working capital decreased to $3,943,000 at April 30, 2005 from $4,198,000 at July 31, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in other current liabilities of $1,244,000, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $836,000, both of which were primarily due to the MEC acquisition.

     Analysis of Cash Flows

     Cash used by operating activities was $18,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2005 compared to cash used in operating activities of $2,355,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2004. The decrease in the nine months ended April 30, 2005 of $2,337,000 was primarily the result of a significantly lower net loss of $2,588,000.

     Cash used in investing activities increased to $162,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2005 from $74,000 provided by investing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2004. Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2005 primarily resulted from the purchase of property and equipment of $272,000 and additional costs relating to the ECS acquisition of $121,000. This was offset by the receipt of $231,000 in connection with the MEC acquisition. Cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2004 was primarily the result of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $134,000 partially offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $60,000.

     Cash used in financing activities was $33,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2005 compared to $4,986,000 provided by financing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2004. Cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2005 was primarily the result of capital lease payments of $45,000, net payments for the issuance of common stock and warrants of $24,000, and proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of $35,000. Cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2004 is primarily the result of financing agreement net borrowings of $647,000 and net payments for the issuance of common stock and warrants of $4,468,000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company is primarily exposed to interest rate risk, equity risk and credit risk.

     Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Investments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less. Changes in interest rates may affect the value of these investments.

     Credit Risk - Our accounts receivables are subject, in the normal course of business, to collection risks. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of collection risks. As a result we do not anticipate any material losses in this area.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2005, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures in place are adequate to ensure material information and other information requiring disclosure is identified and communicated on a timely basis.
