Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Description of Business
Cotelligent, Inc.
(“Cotelligent” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, provides
software consulting services to businesses with complex information technology
(“IT”) operations, narrowcasting services which includes digital technologies
and production services for video content, distribution, scripting and playback on digital
display channels and networks, as well as maintenance, support and contract services on
software products it licenses. These financial statements include the accounts of
Cotelligent, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company acquired OnSite Media, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, on March 2, 2004. The results of OnSite Media, Inc. have been included in the
Company’s results from its acquisition date (see note 3).
Liquidity
The Company has suffered significant
operating losses as well as negative operating cash flows for the past several fiscal
periods as it works through it’s repositioning in the market, and continues to be
subject to certain risks common to companies in the IT services industry. These
uncertainties include the availability of financing, the retention of and dependence on
key individuals, the effects of intense competition, the ability to develop and
successfully market new product and service offerings, and the ability to streamline
operations and increase revenues. There can be no assurance the Company will be profitable
in the future.
In the past and during the six months ended June 30, 2004, management has taken action in response to the continued softness in IT services in order to preserve cash, including but not limited to significant reductions in headcount, outsourcing certain administrative functions, changing benefit plan insurance carriers, relocating corporate headquarters resulting in lower lease obligations, acquired a business in an industry with more near term growth prospects than IT services and commenced looking for financing alternatives. Management has carefully forecasted the Company’s results of operations and financial position through June 30, 2005 and believes that the remaining cash on hand and accounts receivable will provide adequate cash to fund its anticipated cash and working capital requirements related to the purchase of Onsite Media, Inc. at least through June 30, 2005. In the event circumstances arise that are not factored into the forecast, management will take further action such as seeking additional financial alternatives.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim financial
statements do not include all disclosures included in the financial statements in
Cotelligent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and
therefore these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements included in Cotelligent’s Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements filed as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods and dates presented.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the interim disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure."
Related interim disclosures are as follows.
The Company measures compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation awards using the intrinsic value method and provides pro forma disclosures of net loss and loss per share as if a fair value method had been applied. Therefore, compensation cost for employee stock awards is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of our common stock at the grant date or re-measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock and is amortized over the related service periods using the straight-line method. Compensation expense previously recorded for unvested employee stock-based compensation awards that are forfeited upon employee termination is reversed in the period of forfeiture.

Note 3 –Acquisition
Cotelligent acquired OnSite Media, Inc, a Nevada corporation, on March 2, 2004. OnSite was renamed Watchit Media, Inc., or “Watchit”, effective with the close of the transaction. OnSite was a ten year old company that developed enabling digital technologies and production services aimed at providing complete solutions for video content creation, distribution, scripting and playback for companies with digital display channels and networks. OnSite historically provided this software and service offerings to the hospitality and gambling industries. Narrowcasting consists of delivering dynamic, compelling promotional messaging to influence the actions of a localized audience. Promotional messages for hotel in-room channels, driving commercial messages to casino floors

and outdoor signage had been the primary business of OnSite. In addition, OnSite developed a unique Internet media creation software application which we believe will give the newly formed Watchit a competitive advantage. Watchit will continue to employ its marketing expertise and we will bring our resources and infrastructure to this smaller company to enhance their current offerings and expand to new markets.
The Company believes the convergence of Internet, wireless and video media will soon become a major part of the technology landscape. We believe our infrastructure, our experience in developing wireless and Internet business applications along with our system integration expertise fit well with the rapidly evolving narrowcasting and digital video display business.
The aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition was $3,307 (10,679,608 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued at fair value of $1,815 and based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for a few days prior to and after the signing of the definitive agreement and related public announcement to purchase the business on November 25, 2003, warrants to purchase 5,339,803 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value, using the Black-Sholes pricing model, of $676, cash consideration of $510 and transaction costs of $501). Transaction costs of $501 include $195 paid for registration of securities in connection with the acquisition which were netted against the issuance of the shares to effect the acquisition in additional-paid-in capital. Liabilities assumed were approximately $227, and tangible assets acquired were approximately $76. The Company expects to recognize total intangible assets of $3,458 resulting from the acquisition.
The Company has obtained an independent valuation for the aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition as follows.
| Total liabilities assumed | $ | (227 | ) | ||

The Company has ascribed useful lives to the identifiable intangible assets that range from 2 to 20 years. In the six months ended June 30, 2004 the Company recorded amortization on the identifiable intangible assets of $47.
Immediately following the close of the transaction, with the issuance of 10,679,608 shares of Cotelligent common stock, the former OnSite stockholders owned 43% of the total shares of Cotelligent common stock then outstanding.
The results of the acquired business were included in the Company’s results of operations from its acquisition date, March 2, 2004.
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the following pro forma information for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, gives effect to the acquisition of OnSite Media, Inc., as if the acquisition was completed as of the beginning of the periods reported below.

Note 4 – Investment in Marketable Security
During 2002, the Company acquired 5,316,704 shares of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C Stock”) of Bluebook International Holding Company, Inc. (“Bluebook”), representing an approximately 15% ownership interest (assuming conversion of all outstanding preferred stock) in exchange for $3,000 in cash and contributed services. The value of the Series C Stock was initially recorded at $3,000, the amount of cash paid to Bluebook. The cost of the contributed services was recorded as research and development costs. Under the certificate of designation of the Series C Stock, Bluebook is required, at the Company’s option, to either a) convert the shares of Series C Stock to common stock at any time or b) redeem the shares of Series C Stock for cash beginning four years and up through six years after the date of initial issuance.
The Series C Stock meets the definition of a debt security under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” In accordance with SFAS No. 115, the Company classified the Series C Stock as a trading security and consequently reports the investment at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, the investment was reduced by $1,447 during the year ended December 31, 2002 and $1,234 during the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to the decrease in fair value since the acquisition date. The investment continued to decrease in value subsequent to June 30, 2003 and by December 31, 2003 had no value.
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company delivered software development services to Bluebook for which no revenue was recognized. Payments of $270 were received from Bluebook for the delivery of services during the six months ended June 30, 2003 which were applied against and further reduced the carrying value of the investment below market value. Cost of $230 associated with software development services during the six months ended June 30, 2003, were recorded as research and development costs.
During 2003, Cotelligent filed a claim under arbitration proceedings against Bluebook for unpaid services. Bluebook filed a counter claim against Cotelligent for breach of a consulting services agreement. On May 4, 2004, the Company executed a Settlement Agreement with Bluebook whereby, in satisfaction of all claims by both parties, all of Cotelligent’s Series C Stock was converted into 5,316,704 shares of Bluebook Common Stock. The Company continues to report the investment at fair value, which at June 30, 2004, was zero.
Note 5 – Restructuring Programs
In September 2001, as part of the Company’s efforts to streamline its operations commensurate with its revenue base, the Company identified opportunities to reduce its cost structure. Accordingly, the Company adopted an exit plan which resulted in a restructuring charge of $2,436 during the year ended December 31, 2001. The September 2001 plan included provisions for severance of approximately 145 management and operating staff ($1,034) as well as closure costs associated with a plan to consolidate or dispose of certain locations ($1,402). The September 2001 plan did not meet the requirements in order to accrue employee severance costs as of a commitment date, and these severance costs that did not provide a future benefit were charged to operations when due and payable.
In August 2003, as part of the Company’s efforts to streamline its operations commensurate with its revenue base, the Company identified opportunities to reduce its cost structure by reducing headcount. The Company terminated approximately 33 management and operating staff between August 2003 and December 2003 and recorded a restructuring charge related to the severance and extended medical coverage (“COBRA”) benefits provided to the terminated employees of $2,531. Only the COBRA benefits remained payable at December 31, 2003.

Note 6 – Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding
There were no reconciling items between the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted loss per share for the periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had outstanding stock options, warrants and LSPP shares of 8,615,317 and 4,621,671 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, that were not included in EPS for those relevant periods because the Company reported a loss from continuing operations resulting in an antidilutive effect.
Note 7 – Segment Information
Cotelligent was previously organized into one reportable segment, IT Services. Effective with the acquisition of OnSite Media, Inc. on March 2, 2004, the Company became organized into the following two reportable segments, to align internal management with current service offerings:
IT Services. IT software and consulting services to businesses with complex IT operations in addition to maintenance, support and hosting on software products it has licensed.
Narrowcasting. Digital technology and production services for video content, distribution, scripting and playback on digital display channels and networks.
Segment reporting became effective in the three months ended June 30, 2004, as information first became available to the Chief Executive Officer in the newly acquired narrowcasting segment during that period. The Chief Executive Officer evaluates segment financial performance based on segment revenues and gross profit. Cost of services include direct costs of providing services, primarily personnel. Indirect costs are not allocated to segments as the Chief Executive Officer does not evaluate the financial performance of each segment based on its respective assets, capital expenditures or level of selling, general and administrative expense.
The following table summarizes segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. Comparative information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 has not been provided during that period as the Company operated in one reportable segment, IT Services.

Note 8 – Related Party Transaction
During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors awarded the Chief Executive Officer a bonus upon the completion of the acquisition of OnSite Media, Inc. (see note 3). The $640 bonus was classified as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. The amount of the bonus remaining after tax was withheld by the Company was used to repay $364 of the notes receivable and accrued interest outstanding from the Chief Executive Officer. The Company recognized $71 of the repayment as interest income. Accordingly, the Company reduced the valuation allowance against these notes receivable by $293 upon repayment. This reduction in the valuation allowance was classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Except for statements of historical fact contained herein, any statements contained in this report may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For example, words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “strategy,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Cotelligent’s actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Cotelligent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information set forth in our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this filing. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based upon information available to Cotelligent as of the date thereof, and Cotelligent assumes no obligation to update any of such forward-looking statements.
Cotelligent provides IT consulting and also provides maintenance, support and hosting on software products it has licensed. The IT consulting services are either provided under time and materials billing arrangements or on a fixed-fee basis. In addition, Cotelligent provides narrowcasting services which includes digital technologies and production services for video content, distribution, scripting and playback on digital display channels and networks, as well as maintenance, support and contract services on software products it licensed. Narrowcasting, maintenance and support services are provided under month-to-month or long-term service arrangements.
For time and materials arrangements, revenues are recorded as work is performed. Revenues are directly related to the total number of hours billed to clients and the associated hourly billing rates. Hourly billing rates are established for each service provided and are a function of the type of work performed and the related skill level of the consultant. Revenues pursuant to fixed-fee contracts are generally recognized as services are rendered on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting based on hours incurred to total estimated labor hours to complete. In addition, the Company has developed complete mobile workforce management solutions for industries that have medium to large transient sales, field or delivery personnel. A component of these solutions may include software that has been developed by the Company. For each element in a software arrangement (e.g., license, maintenance, and services), revenue is recognized once there is evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The amount of revenue recognized for each element is based upon vendor specific objective evidence of fair value using the residual method. Maintenance, support and hosting revenue is recognized as the Company performs the services. The Company has not had significant sales of software.
The Company’s principal costs are professional compensation directly related to the performance of services and related expenses. Gross profits (revenues after professional compensation and related expenses) are primarily a function of hours billed to clients per professional employee or consultant, hourly billing rates of those employees or consultants, the percentage of effort complete with respect to fixed-fee contracts and employee or consultant compensation. Gross profits can be adversely impacted if services provided cannot be billed, if the Company is not effective in managing its service activities, if fixed-fee engagements are not properly priced, if consultant costs increase beyond relative increases in pricing, or if there are high levels of unutilized time (work activities not chargeable to clients or unrelated to client services) of full-time salaried service professional employees.
Operating income can be adversely impacted by increased administrative staff compensation and expenses related to streamlining or expanding the Company’s business, which may be incurred before revenues or economies of scale are generated from such investment. Solution business development activities require a higher level of selling, general and administrative activities as well as investment in research and development activities.
As a service and software organization, the Company responds to service demands from its clients. Accordingly, the Company has limited control over the timing and circumstances under which its services are provided. Therefore, the Company can experience volatility in its operating results from quarter to quarter. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period.
OVERVIEW OF 2003 AND 2004
In the years leading up to 2003, the Company strategically shifted from providing general IT services and solutions to a targeted approach to offering mobile workforce management and Web services. We changed our go-to-market strategy to better focus our resources and leverage our experience and solid client base in these areas. Our decision to do this was reinforced at the time by market research, financial research and the Company’s own research and analysis indicating that mobile workforce management and
12
Web services were the next emerging growth markets. Our solutions utilized broadly accepted as well as cutting edge technologies. The Company had spent considerable time devoted to the development of these core competencies after divesting the majority of our staff augmentation business in 2000. In addition, the Company carefully assessed and exited a number of solutions and service offerings that were not core to the principal service offerings outlined above.
While executing this strategy we believed we were focused on offering services that would result in additional revenue in the near term. From 2001 through the third quarter of 2003 the Company continued to invest heavily in a large scale sales, marketing and business development organization working to capture new business. In September 2002, the Company hired a marketing executive to develop and implement a more formalized and systematic marketing program for the Company because of the difficulty we were having in selling new business to new clients. Marketing programs re-designed and put in place by early 2003 offered promising results when measured against prior year sales opportunity pipeline and business backlog. By the second quarter of 2003, the Company gained more confidence in its marketing program and saw an unprecedented number of prospect and client proposals. Nevertheless, throughout 2003 we continued to be disappointed by prospects and clients either delaying decisions to initiate projects or pursuing a lower cost off-shore option to executing their projects. In spite of the Company’s investments in its selling organization, we were not successful in signing new business with companies we had not done business with before. We did, however, continue to receive new contracts with existing clients.
In August of 2003, it became clear to us that a number of opportunities that only a few months before looked promising were not going to occur. The Company performed an in-depth review of each opportunity and concluded that businesses were reluctant to use discretionary expenditures to invest in mobile workforce and Web service technologies given the fact that their current IT environments operated satisfactorily. In addition, fearful of continuing economic circumstances and market pressures, we observed that many of the prospects that decided to pursue projects did so with larger, better capitalized firms than Cotelligent.
It became evident that the outlook for spending in IT services would continue to be uncertain without any clear indication of when a turnaround could be expected. Accordingly, in August 2003, the Company terminated the majority of its senior executive staff along with most of the sales and business development organization. At the same time we aggressively engaged our existing clients and committed ourselves to supporting their project requirements. In some cases we have been successful in securing longer term commitments. By scaling back expenses and focusing intensely on generating revenue from our long term clients we began to stabilize our revenue trend allowing us to move forward in our attempt to restore profitability and positive cash flow in the near term.
Throughout the remainder of 2003, the Company continued to reduce headcount and looked closely at expense activity to scale back and streamline operating costs in line with revenue. The Philadelphia-based operation that supports Cotelligent’s sales force automation application FastTrack has achieved stable revenue over the past several years and our clients continue to give us high marks for performance and client service. In addition, the core team responsible for our custom software development activities is helping us to take advantage of recurring projects with existing clients. By keeping only the top sales account executives and account managers, we have lowered our selling cost and improved our client relationships and retention.
In April 2003, our Chief Executive Officer, James Lavelle, sent a letter to our stockholders indicating the Company’s intention to engage in merger and acquisition activities in order to help improve Cotelligent’s prospects for the future and increase our scale. As a matter of course since we started our Company in 1996 and successfully executed an aggressive merger and acquisition strategy through early 1999, we have researched and analyzed a variety of vertical markets that could provide new growth opportunities for us through merger or acquisition. In mid-2003 Cotelligent signed a letter of intent to acquire a field force automation firm. After 90 days of due diligence, we decided not to consummate the transaction.
In September 2003, Cotelligent engaged in a dialog with narrowcasting company, OnSite Media, Inc., renamed Watchit Media, Inc., or Watchit. The combination of Cotelligent’s history in Internet, media and wireless technologies and OnSite’s strength in driving video content to high growth venues in the gaming and hospitality industries looked promising. Cotelligent entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OnSite Media, Inc. on November 24, 2003, and closed the transaction on March 2, 2004. By integrating OnSite’s business with Cotelligent’s infrastructure, and by utilizing our public company know how to position us for the future, we have set about executing a strategy that we believe will allow us to play an important role in the convergence of Internet, video and mobile technology. This is a growing, fast paced market, in which we believe the ability to integrate these technologies will help differentiate us from many other companies.
Because Cotelligent had the opportunity to work closely with OnSite between the signing of the definitive agreement on November 24, 2003, and the closing of the transaction March 2, 2004, the integration of OnSite into Cotelligent’s infrastructure was immediate. In addition, sales and business development activity in the narrowcasting market has been continuous. At June 30, 2004, we remain optimistic about future revenue opportunity within Watchit, and we continue to look at other businesses in the narrowcasting space that would be complimentary to Watchit as possible candidates for acquisition.
13
Commensurate with the formation of Watchit, the Company now operates two reportable segments: IT Services and Narrowcasting. The results of the narrowcasting segment have been included in the Company’s results subsequent to the acquisition date of OnSite, March 2, 2004.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(In Thousands)
Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2003
Revenues
Revenues decreased $395 or 16%, to
$2,065 in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $2,460 in the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Revenues per reportable segment were as follows:

| Narrowcasting | 233 | -- | ||||||
| Total revenues | $ | 2,065 | $ | 2,460 | ||||
Within the IT Services segment, during 2003, the Company continued its evolution from providing general IT consulting services towards offering IT solutions targeted in mobile workforce management and Web services. The decrease in revenue was due to a reduction in custom software development projects. The decrease in revenues occurred at a time when there was a softening in the IT services market and during which time the Company invested heavily in sales and formalized marketing programs. Although the sales and marketing efforts resulted in increased interest from potential clients, the Company's experience has been that businesses have not increased spending on IT services and continuously delayed spending in anticipation of further evidence that an economic recovery was imminent. Accordingly, the Company dismantled its formal marketing campaign in the latter part of 2003. Given these circumstances, during the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company primarily focused on generating revenue from its existing long-term clients.
The narrowcasting segment produced revenues of $233 during the three months ended June 30, 2004 following the acquisition of the OnSite business on March 2, 2004.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $381, or 56%, to $1,056 in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $675 in the three
months ended June 30, 2003.
Gross profit per reportable segment were as follows:

| Narrowcasting | 124 | -- | ||||||
| Total gross profit | $ | 1,056 | $ | 675 | ||||
Gross profit for the IT Services segment as a percentage of revenues increased to 51% from 27%, despite a decline in revenues, due to improved utilization of billable staff. Through a reorganization of responsibilities in the latter part of 2003, the Company maintained the necessary skill levels but eliminated a number of under-utilized people.
Gross profit for the Narrowcasting segment as a percentage of revenues was 53% for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

Research and Development
Costs
Research and development costs were $113 for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased $2,329, or 54%, to $1,959 in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from
$4,288 in the three months ended June 30, 2003.
| The $2,329 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses comprised the following items: | |||
| Decrease in wage expense due to reductions in number of operating staff as evidenced by | |||
| 27 operating staff at June 30, 2004 compared to 62 operating staff at June 30, 2003 | $ 943 | ||
| Decrease in outside legal services and outside services due to proxy contest in connection | |||

| Inclusion of selling, general and administrative expenses of acquired business | (199 | ) | |
| Other effects | 61 | ||
| Total decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses | $ 2,329 | ||
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) primarily
consists of interest income, interest expense, loss on an investment in an alliance
partner accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the change in market value
associated with an investment in a marketable security.
Interest income, net of interest expense was $3 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $18 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in net interest income was primarily the result of a lower cash balance in 2004 coupled with the payoff of remaining amounts due on an interest bearing obligation in 2003.
Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $493 principally from the change in market value associated with a preferred stock investment which meets the definition of a debt security under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” In accordance with SFAS No. 115, the Company classified its preferred stock investment as a trading security and consequently reports the investment at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, the investment was reduced by $343 of unrealized loss, during the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
Income Taxes
The Company did not record an income
tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2004 or 2003 due to the uncertainty of its
realization
The income tax expense of $1 and $3 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively were for minimum state tax payments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(In Thousands)
In recent years, the Company has financed its operations principally through its own cash. The Company has not maintained a credit facility since June 30, 2000.
Cash used by operating activities was $3,420 and $6,869 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2004, the primary net uses in operating activities were the $2,441 net loss and changes in working capital items, primarily $1,245 reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, the primary net uses in operating activities were the $7,858 net loss, $1,461 reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $163 reduction in deferred revenue, offset by the $1,235 unrealized loss on an investment in a marketable security, $962 reduction in accounts receivable and $263 equity loss from investment in alliance partner. The primary sources of liquidity for the Company going forward are the collection of its accounts receivable and existing cash balances at June 30, 2004. Total receivables were 46 and 51 days of quarterly revenue at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
17
Cash used by investing activities was $611 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $325 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. In the six months ended June 30, 2004, the primary net uses of investing activities were $734 used to purchase a business, offset by $200 of payments received on a note from the acquirer of a discontinued operation. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, the primary uses of investing activities were $240 of payments received on a note from the acquirer of a discontinued operation and a $270 dividend from investee, offset by $185 for the purchase of property and equipment, principally for continuous upgrades to computer software and equipment.
In the past and during the six months ended June 30, 2004, management has taken action in response to the continued softness in IT services in order to preserve cash, including but not limited to making significant reductions in headcount, outsourcing certain administrative functions, changing benefit plan insurance carriers, relocating the corporate headquarters, resulting in lower lease obligations and acquiring a business in an industry with more near term growth prospects than IT services. Management has carefully forecasted its results of operations and financial position through June 30, 2005 and believes that the remaining cash on hand together with trade accounts receivable will provide adequate cash to fund its anticipated cash working capital needs, including cash requirements related to the purchase of OnSite at least through June 30, 2005. In the event circumstances arise that are not factored into the forecast, management can take further action such as seeking financing alternatives. Management has already begun the process of meeting with and reviewing proposals from various funding sources and will continue to explore alternatives in order to secure financing in advance of any financing needs. The Company cannot be sure, however, that its results of operations will be sufficient to meet its cash needs through June 30, 2005, or that it will be able to take additional actions to make up for any cash shortfall.
The following table reflects our contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2004, excluding interest, due over the indicated periods.

CRITCAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for
potentially uncollectible accounts receivable under the provisions of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in the ordinary course of business. The
allowance is derived as the result of periodic reviews of aged and known problem accounts during each quarter. In addition, the Company reserves for unknown issues in its
receivables at the balance sheet date using a formula consistent from quarter to quarter. Management believes that its approach is appropriate to reserve for potentially
uncollectible receivables. If management had taken another approach to developing its reserve, the allowance for doubtful accounts may have been different than that reported.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for time and materials contracts when there is evidence of an agreement, a fixed or
determinable fee, collectibility is reasonably assured, and delivery has occurred. Revenues exclude reimbursable expenses charged to and collected from clients. Revenues
pursuant to fixed-fee contracts are generally recognized as services are rendered on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting based on hours incurred to total estimated
labor hours to complete. Revenues earned for software license sales and service contracts are recorded based on the provisions of AICPA SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue
Recognition,” as amended, which shares the basic criteria described above, except collectibility is probable rather than reasonably assured.
Accounting for Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes
under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This pronouncement requires using an asset and liability approach to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The Company has not given benefit to any deferred tax assets or
net operating losses in the previous three fiscal years due to uncertainty of realizing these assets in future periods. In addition, the financial statements have provided for
certain tax positions taken by the Company in certain tax periods where the statute of limitations still applies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Cotelligent’s policy is to invest its cash in a manner that provides Cotelligent with the appropriate level of liquidity to enable the Company to meet its current obligations, primarily accounts payable, capital expenditures and payroll, recognizing that the Company does not currently have outside bank funding available.
Cotelligent has invested its existing cash in highly liquid money market accounts and does not use derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or transactions. Accordingly, the Company believes that it is not subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.
On August 19, 2002, the Company acquired Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock in Bluebook International Holding Company (“Bluebook”). The Company accounted for the preferred stock as a trading security with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. On May 4, 2004, the Preferred Stock was fully converted to common stock of Bluebook. The Company continues to account for the investment at fair value. Accordingly, subsequent to August 19, 2002, the Company was exposed to market risk related to changes in the market price of the common stock in Bluebook.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004 was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, were designed and were
functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated,
cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and
instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with the audit for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Company’s independent auditors, KPMG LLP, identified a reportable condition in internal control that KPMG considered to be a
material weakness under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The material weakness noted by KPMG occurred in the year ended
December 31, 2003 and was the reason why KPMG identified an audit adjustment that reduced an accrual for income taxes by $2,549.
The Company reflected in its financial statements included in annual reports on Form 10-K for prior years the $2,618 accrual for income taxes related to certain income tax contingencies. The Company continued to maintain the accrual for income taxes while the statute of limitations for the tax years of the respective contingencies remained open.
In connection with its 2003 audit, KPMG concluded that the income tax accrual should be reduced by $2,549 because the Company had sufficient net operating losses available to apply against the tax contingencies. KPMG pointed to the fact that the Company continued to have operating losses in years subsequent to the years related to the tax contingencies and to the more recent change in tax law allowing operating losses to be carried back five years.
The Company understands that KPMG determined that the accounting adjustment had not been identified by the Company because the Company failed to monitor business activities and changing circumstances to identify events that necessitate a more in-depth written and contemporaneous analysis or revaluation of prior management judgments and accounting estimates.
The Company addressed KPMG’s comment regarding its failure to monitor business activities and changing circumstance in order to identify events that necessitate a more in-depth written and contemporaneous analysis or revaluation of prior management judgments and accounting estimates. Within one month after receiving KPMG’s comment, the Company modified its internal control to require a written analysis prior to the filing of each quarter’s Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K that identifies changes in the Company’s business activities and changing circumstances and considers potential revaluation of prior management judgments and accounting estimates.
19
This analysis is applied to those areas of accounting identified under Critical Accounting Estimates on the Form 10-K. This analysis was performed in May 2004, in relation and prior to the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and was also performed in July 2004, in relation and prior to the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
In addition, immediately after receiving KPMG’s comment, the Company prepared a written analysis to support the $2,549 reduction to the accrual for income taxes prior to the filing of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The Company believes it has enhanced its internal control environment during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 to satisfactorily address the issue identified in the preceding paragraphs. The Company continues to review and enhance its internal control environment to further reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements will be detected within a timely period.
