NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008


1.  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Business

The Company, Sycamore.US, Inc. (SUS) and Sycamore Systems, Inc. (SSI), based in Frederick, Maryland, provides science and technology services to the U.S. Government's Department of Defense and commercial concerns. Services include software development, database normalization and development, modeling and simulation, information security, space science, systems engineering, systems analysis, media applications, publications and graphic design services. The Company, SUS and SSI, are Maryland corporations that have elected to be taxed as "S" Corporations from inception under the income tax laws of the United States of America. In 2007, Sycamore Services, Inc. was merged into Sycamore.US, Inc., becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SUS, and an election was made to treat SSI as a Q-sub for tax purposes.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the transactions of the parent and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records income and expenses under the accrual method of accounting for financial statement purposes.

The Company recognizes income from time and material contracts as work progresses through monthly billings of time and materials as they are applied to the work pursuant to terms in the contracts.

The Company recognizes income from fixed price systems engineering contracts using the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs to completion for each contract. This method is used because management considers incurred cost the best measure of progress on these contracts. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is reasonable that the estimates will change in the near term.
 
The Company recognizes income and expenses for defense job order contracts when materials are received and identified to the contract. The balance is recognized when the assembled product is delivered and accepted under terms of the contract.
 
6

 
Amounts earned on specific jobs in excess of billings are treated as a current asset and billings in excess of earnings are treated as a current liability. Operating expenses, interest and other expenses are charged to expense when the costs are incurred except as discussed above on job order work-­in-process. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period when such losses are determined.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Invoice terms range from net 10 days to net 30 days. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance (allowance for doubtful accounts) based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written-off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Currently there is no valuation because management believes that all of the company's accounts receivable are fully collectible.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Corporation maintains cash balances which may exceed federally insured limits. Management does not believe that this results in significant credit risk.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses generally consist of amounts paid in advance for insurance and advanced payments to suppliers or vendors.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at their original cost and are being depreciated using straight line methods over estimated lives ranging from 3 to 27.5 years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $72,671 and $62,423, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consists of amounts billed but as of yet are unpaid, retainages, and amounts for work performed but not yet billed. The Company's receivables are included in a blanket lien securing the Company's revolving lines of credit.

Total

The Company did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2009 and 2008 because management believes that all accounts receivable are fully collectible.

REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT

The Company has two lines of credit with a combined borrowing limit of $2,000,000 with BB&T Bank. Both credit lines matured in March 2010 and have been extended through March 2011.
 
8

 
Both credit lines are cross-guaranteed by SUS and SSI with a blanket lien on all assets. The agreement contains financial covenants, which require the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of not less than $1,000,000 and a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.50:1, calculated on the consolidated financial statements of the Companies.

The line of credit agreements contains restricted covenants which require that the Company assume no additional debt in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate at any time, make no expenditure in excess of $100,000 for fixed assets, enter into any leasing arrangements in excess of $100,000 in annual payments in any fiscal year for machinery and equipment, and restricts shareholder distributions and treasury stock acquisitions in excess of $100,000 over the tax liability of the Company shareholders in any fiscal year. The company was compliant with the line of credit covenants for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008.

The revolving line of credit lines are due upon demand and interest on the outstanding balance is variable at 1% above the bank's prime rate. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $140,385 and $279,045, respectively, were outstanding.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 2004, the Company adopted an Incentive Stock Plan. The plan provides for the granting of stock-based awards, specifically either qualified or non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of up to 500 shares of common stock to eligible employees, officers, members of board of directors, and outside consultants of the Company. Through January 1, 2008 there were 107 share awards had been issued under the plan.

Stock option awards normally have an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock on the date of the grant. They generally vest immediately upon grant or over a service life and generally expire 10 years after the grant date. The estimated fair value of the stock options is determined using Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Volatility is determined using the historical stock volatility of other companies which have similar characteristics and are publicly traded. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards. The fair value of stock options granted the year ended December 31, 2008 was estimated using the following assumptions:

Assumptions:
     
Risk-free interest rate
  2.08 %

Expected life of option grants

There were 25 options granted to employees in the year ended December 31, 2008. No options were granted in the year ended December 31, 2009. No options were exercised or forfeited in December 31, 2009 and 2008.

9.
INCOME TAXES AND UNCERTAIN TAX POSTIONS

At its organization Company elected "S corporation" status for income tax purposes. Under this election, all income and losses, and the related taxes are recognized and paid at the stockholder level, including all state income items. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the consolidated financial statements.

In 2007 Sycamore Services, Inc. (SSI) was merged into Sycamore.US, Inc. (SUS) and became a wholly owed subsidiary of SUS. At that time an election was made to treat SSI as a Q-sub for tax

Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions which under US generally accepted accounting principles would give rise to the recording of an uncertain tax benefit or disclosure in the financial statements.
