Item 1.   Description of Business
 
Recent  Development

On February 28, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Consonus Technologies, Inc. (“Consonus”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Consonus, and MMGH Acquisition Corp., our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger Sub”) dated as of April 30, 2010.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement effective February 28, 2011, Merger Sub merged with and into Consonus and Consonus became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
With the acquisition of Consonus on February 28, 2011, the merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization which resulted in Midas Medici being the “legal acquirer” and Consonus the “accounting acquirer.
 
For additional information regarding Consonus, please refer to the S-4/A filed with the SEC on February 10, 2011 and the 8-K filed on March 4, 2011.
 
Consonus provides innovative data center solutions to medium sized and larger enterprises focused on virtualization, energy efficiency and data center optimization. Its highly secure, energy efficient and reliable data centers combined with its ability to offer a comprehensive suite of related IT infrastructure services gives it an ability to offer its customers customized solutions to address their critical needs of data center availability, data manageability, disaster recovery and data center consolidation, as well as a variety of other related managed services.

Consonus’ data center related services and solutions primarily enable business continuity, back-up and recovery, capacity-on-demand, regulatory compliance (such as email archiving), virtualization, cloud computing, data center best practice methodologies and software as a service. Additionally, it provides managed hosting, maintenance and support for all of its solutions, as well as related consulting and advisory services. For a more detailed discussion of Consonus Business, please see section titled “Consonus Business” beginning on page 8 of this Annual Report.
 
Overview

We are a clean energy company that provides services to utilities and others to further the development of the electric grid.  The electric grid is the entire infrastructure available to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity to end users. We define the “Smart Grid” as the electrical grid, enhanced by a full spectrum of technologies and solutions designed to make it function more efficiently, reliably and securely. We believe the Smart Grid will enable consumers to make smarter decisions about electricity consumption, helping curb the rising demand for electricity while reducing their carbon footprint.

In much the same way that technological advances in microprocessors, power electronics and the internet revolutionized the telecommunications industry, we believe that technological advances are transforming the traditional electrical grid into a “Smarter Grid” and significantly improving its capabilities.  Key elements of the Smart Grid include the ability to: introduce clean energy sources into the grid; transmit, store and analyze data along the grid; communicate information between all segments of the grid; automate certain functions of the grid using advanced control systems and devices; and reduce the carbon footprint using various products, processes and services for remote demand management and ensuring affordability of electrical power.
 
In October 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy released a study, “The Smart Grid: An Introduction”, in which it estimated that for the past 20 years, demand growth has exceeded supply growth by 25% per year. As a result, power outages are estimated to cost U.S. businesses $100 billion per year, with 41% more power outages in the second half of the 1990s than in the first half. Smart Grid enhancements will ease congestion and increase utilization of generating capacity, sending between 50% and 300% more electricity through the existing electrical grid.
 
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Utilipoint, we provide energy industry consulting services and proprietary research in seven practice areas that encompass the entire energy and utility value chain, including:

§      Smart Meter Deployment – 1) research and consulting focused on more effective deployment of smart meters to customers, and 2) efficient management of data traffic between end-users and providers of electricity;

§      Energy Investments & Business Planning –investment decision support to utilities and investment firms;

§      CommodityPoint –research and advisory services designed to assist commodities traders to manage trading risk;

§      Meter-to-Cash –independent research and consulting services applied to the utility-customer cash cycle from when a meter is read to the point cash is received;

§      Pricing & Demand Response –design mechanisms for utilities and their regulators to for setting electricity rates;

§      Public & Regulatory Issues Management –regulatory, legal and policy support services for issues associated with the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity; and

§      The Intelligent Project – highly structured, issue-focused research and executive forums to assist executives in analyzing customer related issues associated with the “Smart Grid”.
 
Founded in 1933, Utilipoint built its brand name in the power utility industry by supplying market data intelligence to major US utilities spanning the entire market segment from generation to consumption. Today, Utilipoint is a full service energy-focused consulting firm, providing independent research-based information, analysis, and consulting to energy companies, utilities, investors, regulators, and industry service providers alike.
 
In addition, we host annual conferences in the US and Europe targeted to our client base to discuss topical issues in the clean energy and Smart Grid sector.  These conferences bring together key energy industry participants such as regulators, business executives, policy makers, and investors serving the energy industry. Our flagship US annual conference attracted approximately 200 participants in 2008.  Our second annual European conference attracted approximately 100 participants in 2008. Our clients include utilities, investors, regulators, and energy industry vendors and service providers both domestically and internationally.
 
According to the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2008, electric power infrastructure will require cumulative worldwide investment of over $13.6 trillion (in 2007 dollars) in 2007-2030, or 52% of the total electrical infrastructure needed. On a national level, and according to the Brattle Group, investment totaling approximately $1.5 trillion will be required between 2010 and 2030 to pay for grid infrastructure in the United States. We believe we are well positioned to benefit from the unprecedented investment in the power sector, worldwide.
  
Our Clients and Contracts
 
In 2010, we had 120 clients and seventy-three percent of total 2010 revenue, or $822,539 were generated from returning customers and  $ 300,601 from new customers. Our clients are international, with representation stretching across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the Middle East. We are active in sectors including utilities, investors, regulators, and energy industry service providers such as vendors to utilities, both domestically and internationally.  These industries include companies such as General Electric, Electronic Data Systems (EDS), SAP, Eskom Holdings, Union Fonesa SA, ICAP Energy, International Power, Alliance Data and several other blue chip utility companies.   For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, one and two customer(s) accounted for 10% and 25% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, three customers accounted for approximately 33% and 51% of the total outstanding net accounts receivable, respectively.

We currently have a variety of contractual arrangements with our clients, which include:
 
 
 
4

 
 
 
Fixed-Price Contracts
 
Fixed price contracts are projects where services are provided at an agreed to price for defined deliverables.
 
Bundled Service Agreements
 
Bundled Service Agreements, or BSAs, are packages of services that clients subscribe to, typically on an annual basis.  The services typically include a combination of the following:
 
• Access to subject matter experts as needed, by telephone;
 
• Discounted fees for Utilipoint events;
 
• Advertising space on the IssueAlert® e-publication;
 
• One to three reports and/or whitepapers on industry topics; and
 
• Briefings on industry trends and research findings
 
BSAs also include annual memberships in the Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Meter Data Management (“AMI MDM”) forum and corporate contracts. The AMI MDM forum is designed for electric, water, and/or gas utilities, regulators, utility governing boards, ISOs (Independent System Operators), and consumer advocacy groups to come together and discuss meter data management successes, problems, issues, interfaces and best practices.  Corporate contracts are characterized by an annual contract for a pre-defined amount of market research hours.  Clients of this service receive access to Utilipoint’s directory and InfoGrid products. The primary service is the block of hours purchased.
 
Time and Materials Contracts
 
Time and material contracts are services billed at a set hourly rate.  Project related expenses are passed through at cost to clients.  Normally, we invoice our clients on a monthly basis.
 
Our Services
 
Smart Meter Deployment
 
Our Smart Meter Deployment practice provides market research, consulting and project management services to utilities, regulators, and vendors deploying smart meter technology in the marketplace. We work with utilities to help manage smart meter pilot programs and technology implementations by managing all elements of the service offering including: program design, vendor selection, project planning and meter data management and data analysis.

As an example of our Smart Meter Deployment services, we are currently managing a residential smart meter installation and smart meter pricing pilot, where 1,400 end users will use a combination of technology and innovative rate pricing structures to reduce electricity usage. The pilot was sponsored by the local public utility, the State’s Public Utilities Commission, and a consumer advocate group. We believe it is the first in the world to test smart metering with three different advanced residential rate options.
 
Energy Investments & Business Planning
 
Our Energy Investments practice provides business planning and market studies, and helps refine business plans for companies looking for external funding, acquisition opportunities, and investment decision support. Our consultants and analysts have an understanding of the regulatory considerations impacting investment in the sector and unique strategy modeling and investment decisions support capabilities. We also work with investor groups, venture capital and private equity firms on independent analysis of investment opportunities.
 
 As an example of our business planning services we were hired by a local utility company in Washington to advise on an upcoming public vote on whether to form a new electric utility. Our assignment included performing asset and business valuations, economic and engineering feasibility studies and presentations of the results in numerous public forums. We believe our involvement helped to successfully mitigate the requirement for additional capital investment by the client.
 
CommodityPoint
 
Our CommodityPoint practice provides expert information, independent research, market studies, consulting and analyst services in the area of energy trading, transaction and risk management. We believe that our practice professionals are acknowledged and accomplished experts in their field and are relied upon by our clients to provide unambiguous and independent advice and information.
 
 
 
 
5

 
 
 
Our CommodityPoint practice recently released its 2010 Non-Energy TRM Vendor Perceptions Study report. The CommodityPoint TRM Vendor Perception study is repeated every two years and represents a view of how users and prospective buyers perceive the market landscape. We believe that by capturing a representation of user and buyer perceptions about the vendors in the space much can be learned regarding market maturity and the overall evolution of TRM software. This study was conducted during the first quarter of 2010 and represents user and buyer views as of the close of 2009.
 
Meter-to-Cash
 
Our Meter-to-Cash practice provides expert information, independent research, market studies, consulting and analyst services in the areas of customer care, customer information systems and customer relationship management. Our professionals are relied upon by our clients to provide unambiguous and independent advice and information. Our Meter-to-Cash clients include utilities, cooperatives, municipals, technology vendors, software vendors and regulatory agencies.
 
As an example of our Meter-to-Cash services, the a Canadian Public Utility Commission, ordered a collaborative process to benchmark gas and electric customer care and billing using Utilipoint’s database. As a result, the Commission was able to use the study results to set gas and electric rates.
 
Pricing & Demand Response
 
Our pricing and demand response practice provides electricity market design and pricing services to electricity market stakeholders. Our clients include independent system operators, utilities, competitive load serving entities, demand response program providers, state and federal regulatory agencies, and businesses and investors with an interest in the design and operation of electricity markets.
 
As an example of these services, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandated demand response as the official policy of the United States. On behalf of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, we surveyed over 3,000 utilities in the United States and performed analysis that contributed to a FERC Staff Report on Demand Response and Smart Metering published in 2006 and 2008 and sent to Congress as an update on progress on Smart Grid related issues including demand response and advanced metering initiatives.
 
Public & Regulatory Issues Management
 
Our Public & Regulatory Issues Management practice has a 25-year track record of working with utilities to manage potentially controversial public, regulatory, and legal issues. We believe that with our assistance, utilities can enhance public trust, and improve communications with their customers and the public.
 
As an example, in 2008, Utilipoint was hired to design a public outreach process including documentation of the project for public use in connection with a proposed nuclear plant and the associated 200 miles of new transmission facilities. The project was approved by state regulators with no organized public opposition.
 
The Intelligent Project, LLC
 
The Intelligent Project, LLC helps clients address and understand issues related to the end user elements of the Smart Grid, including customer focused research and access to experts in various customer experience disciplines.  Management believes that Utilipoint’s acquisition of The Intelligent Project, LLC in July 2009 positions us to be a leader in dealing with Smart Grid customer-related issues.  The Intelligent Project brings together power industry executives with executives from other industries where significant customer transformation has occurred, such as telecommunication, financial services and retail industries where technology and regulations have transformed the customer experience to expose the power industry to events that reshaped other sectors of the economy.
 
Acquisition of the Intelligent Project, LLC
 
On July 1, 2009, Utilipoint acquired a 60% interest in IP. Prior to the acquisition, IP was controlled by KLI IP Holding, Inc., which held a 75% interest in IP.  KLI IP Holding, Inc. is controlled by Nana Baffour, our CEO, and Johnson Kachidza, our President, who held an aggregate 60% interest in KLI IP Holding, Inc.
 
IP was founded on March 10, 2009, by KLI IP Holding, Inc. and David Steele, the former president of Utilipoint and former President of a predecessor KLI portfolio company.  Nana Baffour was the managing member of IP prior to the acquisition by Utilipoint.  IP’s management committee consisted of Nana Baffour, Johnson Kachidza, David Steele and Ken Globerman, an employee of Knox Lawrence International, LLC. Prior to the acquisition, David Steele, a managing director of IP was also a senior managing director of Utilipoint.  From inception to when IP was acquired by Utilipoint, its operations were funded through loans from Knox Lawrence International, LLC which are evidenced by a 5%, $108,969 note issued by IP to KLI IP Holding Inc., which matures on June 30, 2012.
 
Prior to the acquisition of IP, Utilipoint was controlled by UTP International, LLC (“UTPI”), which held a 51% interest in Utilipoint.  UTPI is a wholly owned subsidiary of KLI, in which Nana Baffour, our CEO and Johnson Kachidza, our President, held an indirect controlling interest.
 
 
 
6

 
 
 
Nana Baffour, our CEO and Johnson Kachidza, our President were directors of Utilipoint since August 2007. Mr. Baffour became Chairman of Utilipoint's board in August 2007. In August 2009 after the closing of the merger, Mr. Baffour, was appointed as the CEO of Utilipoint.
 
In connection with the IP acquisition, Utilipoint entered into the following agreements:
 
(A) a Capital Commitment Agreement (the “Capital Agreement”) pursuant to which Utilipoint committed to contribute up to $200,000 to IP, as may be requested by IP, but in no event not in excess of $25,000 in any single request. The parties contemplated that the capital contributions under the Capital Agreement may be satisfied by capital contributions which KLI intended to make to Utilipoint in the amount of $200,000 and therefore any failure by Utilipoint to make a capital contribution to IP because it has not received sufficient funds from KLI will not constitute a default under the Capital Agreement.
 
(B) a Management Services Agreement with IP pursuant to which Utilipoint will provide management services and provide consultants to assist IP with IP projects.  The services will include, but are not limited to:  (i) assisting in the preparation of annual budgets, (ii) providing sales, marketing and strategic services, (iii) assisting IP with complying with reporting requirements under any financing agreements, (iv) providing legal, human resources, loss prevention and risk management services; (v) providing receivables collection services, cash management services and payroll services, (vi) any other service performed or expenses incurred by UtiliPoint for IP in the ordinary course of business.  In addition, under the Management Service agreement, Utilipoint is authorized to make payments to creditors of IP on its behalf and to collect receivables on behalf of IP; provided Utilipoint has assurance that the necessary funds for discharge of any liability or obligation will be provided by IP.
 
Management services will be charged to IP based on the actual expenses incurred by Utilipoint, and consultants will be charged at the same rate that Utilipoint charges to subcontract its consultants to third parties.
 
Utilipoint will also pay all salaries and benefits for certain employees of IP who will also provide services to Utilipoint.  The Management Services Agreement has a two-year term, and, thereafter, automatically renews for one-year terms.  It may be cancelled by either party on 60 days prior written notice.
 
(C) an Agreement to be Bound to the Limited Liability Agreement of IP. The IP LLC Agreement provides that Net Cash Flow will be distributed as follows: first, contributed capital will be returned to the members on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of capital contributed), and, thereafter, Net Cash Flow will be distributed to the members on a percentage ownership basis.  Utilipoint’s percentage ownership immediately after the execution of the agreement by Utilipoint will be 60%.
 
The Limited Liability Company Agreement further provides for restrictions on the transfer of Company Interests (only to Permitted Transferees) and provides that the Members holding a majority of the Company Interests may drag-along the minority members in the event of a Sale of the Company.
 
(D) a Consulting Agreement which provides that KLI IP Holding Inc. will provide consulting services to Utilipoint in connection with the joint business and marketing efforts of Utilipoint and IP.  The agreement has a term of 24 months ending on July 1, 2011 and may be terminated by either party upon 90 days advance written notice.  In exchange for its services KLI IP Holding Inc. received an option to purchase 850 shares of common stock of Utilipoint, which options were converted at the closing of the Utilipoint Acquisition into options to purchase 27,168 shares of common stock of Midas Medici, at an exercise price of $1.56 per share.   The options are exercisable for a term of 5 years through August 21, 2014 and are fully vested. If KLI IP Holding Inc. terminates the agreement without cause within its first year, any unexercised options held KLI IP Holding Inc. will terminate.
 
(E) a Revolving Senior Subordinated Debenture which provides that KLI may loan up to $100,000 to Utilipoint.  The debenture has a term of 5 years and pays interest at a rate of 10% per annum.  Accrued interest and unpaid interest is payable monthly (the parties can agree to mutually defer interest payments), and the unpaid principal amount is due on the five-year anniversary of the debenture.  The debenture is subordinate to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Utilipoint to any financial institution.
 
Competition

We operate in a highly competitive and fragmented marketplace and compete against a number of firms in each of our key markets.  A substantial number of these firms have significantly greater infrastructure and financial resources than our company. We divide our competitive universe into three industries: (1) research and consulting services; (2) technology services and solutions; and (3) engineering services and solutions.
 
 
 
7

 
 
 
Some of our principal competitors in the consulting universe include mid-size, specialty consulting firms such as Navigant Consulting, Inc., FTI Consulting, Inc., and ICF International, Inc – each of which have specific utility-focused consulting practices. In addition, within our key energy and power markets, we have numerous smaller competitors, many of which have narrower service offerings and serve niche markets.
 
Within the technology services and solutions industry, we will compete against firms such as American Superconductor Corp., Esco Technologies Inc., Badger Meter, Inc., Echelon Corp., EnerNOC, Inc., and smaller vendors such as Orion Energy Systems, Inc. and Composite Technology Corp. Each of the aforementioned is providing utilities with clean and intelligent energy technology solutions. Firms such as Comverge Inc., Itron Inc., Echelon Corp., Neteeza Corp., Teradata Corp., and Digi International Inc. are in the market to primarily provide enterprise-class analytic tools and services. Other companies such as Quanta Services provide engineering services to enable the Smart Grid.
 
Finally, some of our competitors such as IBM Corp. and Electronic Data Systems, a Hewlett-Packard company are significantly larger than us and have greater access to resources and stronger brand recognition than we do. On some of our past projects, competitors including IBM and EDS, have also been our customers.
 
We consider the principal competitive factors in our market to be client relationships, proprietary products or data, reputation and past performance of the firm, client references, technical knowledge and industry expertise of employees, proprietary products or data, quality of services and solutions, scope of service offerings and pricing.

Patent and Trademarks
 
We currently do not own any patents, trademarks or licenses of any kind.
 
Government Regulations
 
There are no government approvals necessary to conduct our current business.

Organizational History

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 30, 2006 under the name Mondo Acquisition I, Inc. We were formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination through the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business. On May 15, 2009, we, Mondo Management Corp., our then sole shareholder, and Midas Medici Group, Inc. entered into a Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Mondo Management Corp. sold  to Midas Medici Group, Inc.  1,000,000 previously  issued  and outstanding  shares  of  the  Company's restricted common stock, comprising 100% of  the  issued  and outstanding  capital  stock  of the Company. The execution of the Purchase Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, both in its shareholding and management. Effective May 22, 2009, we changed our name to Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc.
 
Prior to its acquisition of Utilipoint International, Inc., the Company was a “shell company” based on its business activities. Under SEC rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company also qualified as a “shell company,” because it had no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations.
 
With the acquisition of Utilipoint on August 21, 2009, the merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization which resulted in Midas Medici being the "legal acquirer" and Utilipoint the "accounting acquirer".

Employees
 
As of March 30, 2011, we have 3 full time employees who work in our corporate headquarters. Utilipoint directly employs 10 full time staff members, including a professional staff of 7, and an administrative staff of 3, each of whom support our seven practice areas. Utilipoint's European headquarters located in Brno, Czech Republic, employs 3 of the 10 full time staff members.

Consonus Business

Consonus is a leading provider of innovative data center solutions to medium – sized enterprises focused on virtualization, energy efficiency and data center optimization. Consonus ability to offer a comprehensive suite of related IT infrastructure services gives it an ability to offer its customers customized solutions to address their critical needs of data center availability, data manageability, disaster recovery and data center consolidation, as well as a variety of other related managed services.

Consonus’ data center related services and solutions primarily enable business continuity, back-up and recovery, capacity-on-demand, regulatory compliance (such as email archiving), virtualization, cloud computing, data center best practice methodologies and software as a service. Additionally, Consonus provides maintenance and support for all of its solutions, as well as related consulting and advisory services.

Today, Consonus’ large and diverse customer base consists of over 490 active customers in 35 states in the United States with several customers in each of the industries it serves, including financial services, government, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, technology, education, utilities, healthcare and consumer goods.

Consonuus is headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, with regional sales presence in Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama; Charlotte, North Carolina; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Hartford, Connecticut; Greenville, South Carolina; Nashville, Tennessee; and Rockville, Maryland.


Industry Overview

An increasing number of business critical applications are now delivered over the Internet. As a result, businesses of all sizes are evolving to depend on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or 24 x 7, connectivity, availability and security of their IT systems.

Small and Medium Sized Businesses

Consonus has chosen to focus on small and medium size business clients in under-served geographic markets. Consonus defines small and medium size businesses as companies having between $50 million and $1 billion in annual revenue, or companies with 300 to 2,000 employees, as well as regional and department-level offices of large enterprises that satisfy these criteria. Overlaying this definition with internal market analysis of its geographic reach, Consonus believes there are approximately 200,000 small and medium size businesses that could potentially require its data center outsourcing and IT infrastructure services. To effectively compete, many small and medium size businesses have become reliant on sophisticated IT infrastructure that, in the past, has been typically deployed at larger enterprises. However, managing, monitoring, administering, and maintaining a sophisticated IT infrastructure can rapidly deplete the limited resources of small and medium size businesses which need to be directed at core business activities. These complex and growing demands necessitate a closer relationship with solution-oriented technology providers.

Market Trends

Consonus views the North American market for IT infrastructure and data center services and solutions as highly fragmented with no single dominant player. Specifically, Consonus believes the industry includes small regional providers serving the small and medium size business market, and a limited number of national and multi-national providers that serve larger business clients.
Consonus believes that there is a growing trend to outsource managed services to third-party providers. Consonus expects this trend to remain healthy for the foreseeable future. In particular, Consonus believes that small and medium size businesses face significant challenges in trying to deliver these services on their own because of constraints related to technical expertise and cost. Consonus believes that outsourcing these functions will allow organizations to focus capital and personnel resources on their core business operations, as opposed to IT infrastructure.   Consonus believes that the growth in cloud and on demand computing, virtualization, increasing data management requirements, energy efficiency in technology (“Green IT”) will be positive drivers of growth in the industry and for the company.

Consonus believes its ability to offer a comprehensive suite of data center infrastructure, along with related managed and professional services and solutions, provides us with an important competitive advantage to capitalize upon the growing trend of IT outsourcing within the small to medium business segment.

Consonus’s data center services are positioned to take advantage of significant macro-economic trends that directly impact the data center market. These include but are not limited to


·
the emergence of Cloud Computing which is estimated to grow to $56B by 2014 according  to International Data Corporation (IDC), a provider of market intelligence, advisory services and events for the information technology, telecommunications, and consumer technology markets.

·  
the development of more energy efficient solutions to address the dramatic increase in energy consumption  and the required data center infrastructure enhancements to accommodate such demand.

In addition, Consonus expects growth in this market to remain robust, as increasingly stringent regulatory requirements in North America, along with the potentially significant loss of revenue and credibility resulting from unannounced downtime, force businesses to invest in highly secure and reliable products and services such as those offered by Consonus.

Consonus’ Services and Solutions

Consonus provides innovative data center and IT infrastructure and data center services and solutions to the growing small and medium size business market focused on virtualization, energy efficiency and data center optimization. Throughout its history, Consonus has developed a comprehensive set of data center-centric skills and capabilities.  Consonus provides its solutions and services at (i) the customer’s data centers and (ii) in the virtual/shared data center in the “cloud”.

As part of its business, Consonus from time to time partners with other third party datacenter operators in order to provide colocation space for its clients in different geographies. The arrangements are structured such that the customer contracts with Consonus for hosting services and Consonus pays the datacenter operator for the use of the space and power that the customer would consume. Consonus maintains the customer relationships, provides support and commits to a service level agreement with the customer. Consonus typically negotiates service level agreements that exceed those provided to its partners' own customers.
 
Business Strengths

Consonus believes its strengths can be attributed to several distinguishing factors, including:

Broad Service Offering

Consonus provides its customers with a comprehensive suite of services and solutions that distinguishes it in the market place. Consonus has organized its comprehensive suite into "solution sets" designed to bring incremental value to our customers. Consonus is able to utilize these offerings and its in-house expertise to meet its customers' needs, which include storage, server, networking and security. Additionally, its single-source service approach allows it to design, build, manage, host and support these initiatives for its customers and bring sustained, differentiated value to the marketplace.

Diverse and Loyal Customer Base

Consonus’ large and diverse customer base consists of over 490 active customers in 35 states in the United States, with several customers in each of the industries it serves, including financial services, government, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, technology, education, utilities, healthcare and consumer goods. Consonus’ diverse client base also includes regional and department level offices of Fortune 1000-type companies, which we believe demonstrates our ability to meet the highest service standards in the industry.

While Consonus has the capability to serve large size businesses and do serve larger customers including regional and department level offices of larger enterprises, it has made an explicit choice to focus on clients with between roughly $50 million and $1 billion in annual revenue or companies with 300 to 2,000 employees.

Consonus is focused primarily on underserved geographic markets where it can best leverage the breadth of its capabilities. Consonus focuses its attention on small and medium size businesses in markets where a local presence, broad resources and thought leadership are scarce. As a result, Consonus believes it has been able to effectively differentiate itself from its competitors and believes this has positioned it for continued growth in these markets. Consonus is currently located in markets on the East coast of the United States with a high concentration of small and medium size businesses and may expand into targeted regions within the Southwest, Midwest and the West Coast of the United States.

Focus on High Growth IT Markets

Consonus focuses on providing services related to high growth segments of the overall IT market, looking to specifically capitalize on the growth trends in IT infrastructure and data center services.  Its technical capabilities and service expertise allows it to benefit from the increased migration from in-house IT management to externally managed and hosted services for small and medium size businesses. The small and medium size business market, specifically, is expected to experience higher growth than the overall market with respect to IT related services.

Attractive Business Model Leverage

Consonus believes there are significant opportunities to expand its margins with respect to many of its existing customers. Its IT infrastructure and data center services and solutions have been organized into repeatable "solution sets" allowing it to cost-effectively deploy these solutions. Repeatable "solution sets"refer to service and solutions offerings that are proven and consistent in their delivery each time they are sold.

Recurring Revenue Model

Consonus’ data center services and solutions revenue provide a solid basis for long-term relationships with its customers resulting in strong recurring revenue which provide a high degree of visibility into its future financial performance. Its data center customers typically sign one to three-year contracts with automatic renewal provisions.

Consonus has consistently demonstrated strong customer retention by providing a superior blend of products and services. Consonus has over 450 support, managed and hosting services customers. Consonus historically experiences very high contract renewal rates.

Experienced Management Team

Consonus is led by an experienced and dedicated management team, including a core group of executives and senior managers who have, on average, 22 years of experience. High employee retention has allowed it to continually build the knowledge base and technical expertise within Consonus. The current management team has successfully integrated prior acquisitions and has achieved organic growth through both geographic expansion and new product offerings.

Established Relationships with Industry Leading Vendors

Consonus’ technology vendors include VMware, Inc., Sun/Oracle Corporation, Symantec Corporation,  NetApp, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Hewlett Packard Company, Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) and VeriSign, Inc. In addition, Mr. Robert F. McCarthy, President of Consonus, sits on Symantec Corporation’s Partner Advisory Council and Network Appliance’s (NetApp) Advisory Council.   The advisory positions held by Robert F. McCarthy provides Consonus with opportunities to expand and enhance its relationships with senior vendor management and to align its business strategy with that of its vendor partners.

Growth Strategy

In addition to increasing penetration with existing customers and adding new clients, Consonus’ strategy is to provide a comprehensive suite of IT infrastructure and data center services and solutions across its  customer base. In addition, it will seek to enhance its leadership position in the IT marketplace through the continued development of new services, further geographic expansion and strategic acquisitions and partnerships.

Penetration of Existing Customer Base

Consonus currently has an installed base of over 490 active customers. Consonus believes that its extensive customer base and its enhanced service and solution offerings represent a significant opportunity to increase its revenue per customer. By cross selling its broad suite of services and solutions, its goal is to expand its share of the customer's IT expenditure with the objective of becoming their single source provider. For example, recent cross-sell activities have resulted in new data center services contracts from existing key customers.

Development of New Solutions

Consonus is continuously developing new services and creating customized solution sets to meet its customers' evolving requirements. Consonus has developed a process whereby it collaborates with its customers, vendors, and industry analysts to create a highly targeted solution roadmap.  Consonus has developed new proprietary solutions such as its Secure Archiving For the Enterprise (“SAFE”), Virtual Business Continuity (“VBC”) and Remote Backup Solutions (“RBS”).  As well it has developed a new consulting practice focused around data center energy efficiency.  New solution sets include a broader offering of Secure Archiving for the Enterprise (SAFETM) 2 and software as a service platform See "New Data Center Services and Solutions." 

Geographic Expansion Consonus Data Center Locations


Consonus has achieved success in markets where small and medium size business concentration is high and competition is fragmented. Consonus provides data center services today through its partner data center facilities in 15 markets across North America (see above).  Through its partner data centers,  it offers co-location and managed services to its clients.  These partner data centers are owned by third parties, with whom it entered into contracts to use their data centers. The arrangements with these third party data centers operators are structured such that the customers enter into contracts directly with Consonus for hosting services and Consonus in turn pays the data center operator for the space occupied by the customer and the power consumed by the customer.  Consonus maintains the customer relationships, provides support to the customer and commits to a service level agreement with the customer. Consonus has developed a disciplined process of identifying, targeting and assessing new expansion opportunities. Variables it analyzes prior to entering any new market include: customer demographics, competitive landscape, vendor support and labor pool. Once a decision has been made to enter a new region, Consonus implements what it believes to be a proven expansion process to minimize cost and to maximize speed to market and return on investment.

Consonus Labs (C-Labs)

Consonus Labs, LLC , a wholly owned subsidiary of Consonus Inc., was created in 2009 to foster growth through innovation centered primarily around three efforts: (1)  protecting and commercializing the intellectual property of Consonus, (2)  continuing to create innovative products and services through a dedicated product development group, and (3)   enhancing product development and product commercialization by creating partnerships with leading universities and technology providers.   In 2009, Consonus launched three highly innovative and commercially relevant products in the areas of software as a service, virtual disaster recovery and cloud infrastructure-on-demand.   Furthermore, a technology partnership was created with the University of Utah as a first step to aligning innovating.

Strategic Acquisitions

Consonus believes that it can accelerate its growth through strategic acquisitions of businesses that expand its solution set or geographic reach. Current senior management and members of its board have considerable acquisition experience and have completed four acquisitions on Consonus behalf. For example, STI, a subsidiary of Consonus has grown both organically and through the acquisitions of Path Tech Software Solutions, Inc., a Florida based company, on February 22, 2000, and Allied Group, Inc., a Connecticut based company, on October 17, 2001. Both companies served the IT consulting and services market in their respective geographical areas. Likewise, on May 2, 2005, CAC merged with Gazelle Technologies, Inc., a company engaged in software development for the utility sector and under common control by KLI, and on May 31, 2005, CAC acquired all of the assets of Consonus, Inc. from Questar InfoComm, Inc. From 1996 until CAC's acquisition of Consonus, Inc., Consonus, Inc. had been engaged in the business of designing, building and operating data centers, IT networks and web-enabled application delivery systems. Both the STI and CAC acquisitions were successful and important in evolving each entity into regional businesses by expanding each entity's geographic reach or breadth of service offerings. Consonus’ Management believes that it has demonstrated its ability to improve and integrate acquisitions.

Areas of future interest include standalone data centers or companies providing data center and IT solutions that may or may not be currently offered by Consonus and companies providing energy efficiency solutions and services to the data center space. Consonus sees a significant opportunity to participate in the industry consolidation of the fragmented, regional small and medium size business market.

Sales and Marketing

The complex nature of Consonus’ client engagements requires a highly targeted, structured sales process and a team based approach. Consonus sales combines a highly targeted sales approach, which includes a detailed regional analysis of the small and medium sized business market across key variables and success parameters, with an in-depth understanding of a client's organization and its complexities. We complement this effort with the ability to offer a multi-dimensional solution set that is customized to a client's needs and IT infrastructure.

As of December 1, 2010, Consonus’ sales team consists of 27 commissioned sales professionals, and is supported by 7 solutions consultants and 4 sales operations and channels staff. Consonus’ team is organized by region and focuses on selling customers its entire range of services and solutions with specialization in specific solutions. With an average of 15 years experience, Consonus sales team draws upon extensive experience in the IT infrastructure and data center services industry.

Consonus’ current selling model requires the sales force to be well informed on the principles of running a data center and the possible approaches to driving up service levels and driving down costs.

Consonus has placed an increased emphasis on marketing initiatives over the past 2 years, as it believes there is an opportunity to communicate with a larger number of prospective customers.  In particular, the company is investing in the following:

Search Engine Optimization (SEO):  The process of improving the volume and/or quality of traffic to the company web site or from internet search engines such as Google and Yahoo.   Consonus focuses on relevant search terms and optimizes the architecture, backlinks, and content of the web site to maximize search results.

Pay per click:  Consonus pays internet search engines such as Google when specified keywords are clicked by users, sending them to the Consonus web site.

Web Site:  Consonus has updated its web site.  The new web site more effectively communicates the company vision, supports social networking, and more specifically communicates the key solution areas in which the company is focused.
 
 
 
13

 
 

 
Branding:  Consonus has developed a new logo, a tag line “get IT, virtually anywhere”, and has developed a more robust branding program that will enable more effective lead generation

This increased emphasis in marketing has resulted in a strong growth in web site traffic and significant growth in sales leads from internet search and the web site.  Our marketing team maintains excellent metrics to demonstrate a positive return on the marketing investments.

Customers

Consonus’ largest 10 customers represented approximately 28% with no one customer representing greater than 5%, of its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Contracts

Consonus generally provides broad product offerings across the IT infrastructure and data center space to its customers using the following contractual arrangements:

Service Agreements:    The most common type of agreements that it has entered into for the provision of IT infrastructure and data center services is the service agreement. In its service agreements, a customer commits to purchase a type of service according to their individual requirements. These service agreements contain terms that are generally consistent with industry practices. Typically Consonus’ managed service agreements can only be terminated by its customers in the event of a continued period of service interruption. In the case of some of its maintenance manager support agreements, the customer can terminate the agreement with a 60-day notification; and

Statements of Work:    Consonus has also entered into Statements of Work, or SOWs, for the provision of IT infrastructure services. Each SOW summarizes a customer's project scope, including their IT platform/infrastructure initiatives and design recommendations.

Competition

The market for IT infrastructure and data center services and solutions is highly fragmented. The industry includes small regional providers serving the small and medium size business market, notably in secondary markets such as Raleigh, Nashville, Birmingham and Richmond, and a limited number of national and multi-national providers that serve larger business clients notably in metropolitan markets such as Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Washington. Generally speaking, the small regional providers focus their services on the provision of physical space (hosting and co-location) and managed bandwidth with a limited offering of IT infrastructure and data center services and solutions. National and multi-national providers' generally either focused on hosting, co-location and managed services or on being full service IT infrastructure outsourcing providers.

Consonus’ current and potential competitors can be divided into 3 categories:

• national and international hosting, co-location and managed service providers;

• regional hosting providers; and

• national and international full service IT infrastructure outsourcing providers.

National and international hosting, co-location and managed service providers include companies such as Equinix Inc., SAVVIS, Inc., Terremark Worldwide, Inc. and FusionStorm. These companies provide physical space (hosting and co-location), managed bandwidth and network services, and to varying degrees, some data center related services such as system and network monitoring, security and data and system management. Consonus generally does not compete with these providers because they operate principally in metropolitan markets targeting multi-national companies. In the limited instances where these providers have pre-existing business relationships with businesses in Consonus’ target small and medium size business secondary markets, Consonus differentiate itself by providing physical space (hosting and co-location) as well as a broader offering of IT infrastructure and data center services and solutions.

Regional hosting providers include companies such as Hosted Solutions Inc. and Peak 10 in North Carolina, C7 in Utah and ViaWest in Colorado. These companies have limited IT infrastructure and typically only provide physical space (hosting and co-location), managed bandwidth, network monitoring and security, and some managed services. Consonus believes these regional hosting providers generally do not possess the technical knowledge or resources required for in-depth customer support and product development. Consonus believes these factors, in addition to its comprehensive breadth of IT infrastructure and data center service and product offerings will, enable it to effectively compete with the regional hosting providers.

National and international IT outsourcing providers include companies such as Electronic Data Systems Corporation and International Business Machines Corporation, or IBM. These companies provide IT infrastructure and data center services and solutions, including, application hosting, site management, IT professional and consulting services, technology design, co-location facilities and managed bandwidth. These companies generally target large multi-national companies with global IT sites and broad managed service needs in primary markets and generally do not focus on small and medium size businesses in secondary markets. Consonus has, in limited cases, leveraged its core competencies in the data center, including designing, deploying and supporting mission-critical computing environments to service large multi-national customers in primary markets.  Consonus also competes with mid sized companies such as DataLink and Agilysis that provide IT infrastructure and data center solutions.

Facilities

Consonus has leased regional sales offices located in the following cities: (a) Atlanta, GA; (b) Birmingham, AL; (c) Charlotte, NC; (d) Ft. Lauderdale, FL; (e) Greenville, SC; (f) Nashville, TN; (g) Salt Lake City, UT; and (h) Rockville, MD.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.
 
RISK FACTORS

We have recently incurred net losses, and we may continue to incur net losses in the future.
 
The net loss of Midas Medici was $2,554,964 and $1,582,108 in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2010 was $4,817,626. We currently have a working capital deficiency of $2,359,777 as of December 31, 2010. Our net losses in 2010 and 2009 were driven principally by deteriorated macroeconomic conditions and the fixed cost nature of our business. More recently, our net losses have been driven principally by general and administrative, marketing, operating and depreciation and amortization expenses relating to investing in human capital to support our newer service offerings and grow our presence in Europe. To try to grow our revenues and customer base, we plan to continue emphasizing the expansion and development of our services, which will include increased marketing and operating expenses. We cannot be certain that by incurring these expenses our hoped-for revenue growth will occur. Further, even with additional investment we may never obtain profitability.
 
 
 
17

 
 
 
We face intense competition from many competitors that have greater resources than we do, which could result in price reductions, reduced profitability and loss of market share.
 
We operate in highly competitive markets and generally encounter intense competition to win contracts and acquire new business. Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources, larger client bases, and greater brand or name recognition than we do. Some of our competitors are ICF International, Navigant Consulting, IBM, and Accenture. We also have numerous smaller competitors, many of which have narrower service offerings and serve niche markets. Our competitors may be able to compete more effectively for contracts and offer lower prices to clients, causing us to lose contracts.  In order to compete, we may be forced to lower the prices at which we offer our services in order to win or retain contracts, which could lower our margins or cause us to suffer losses on contracts that we do win. Some of our subcontractors are also competitors, and some of them may in the future secure positions as prime contractors, which could deprive us of work we might otherwise have won. Our competitors also may be able to provide clients with different and greater capabilities and benefits than we can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past performance on relevant contracts, geographic presence, ability to keep pace with the changing demands of clients and the availability of key professional personnel. Our competitors also have established or may establish relationships among themselves or with third parties, including through mergers and acquisitions, to increase their ability to address client needs. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge. We also may compete with our competitors for the acquisition of new businesses.  Our competitors may also be able to offer higher prices for attractive acquisition candidates, which could harm our strategy of growing through selected acquisitions. In addition, our competitors may engage in activities, whether proper or improper, to gain access to our proprietary information, to encourage our employees to terminate their employment with us, to disparage our company, and otherwise to gain competitive advantages over us. For further information regarding competition, see the section entitled “Business — Competition.” If we are unable to compete successfully in the provision of services to clients and for new business, our revenue and operating margins may decline.
 
 
Because much of our work is performed as short-term projects, research assignments and consulting engagements, we are exposed to a risk of under-utilizing our staff.
 
Utilipoint performs much of its work under short-term contracts. Even under many of its longer-term contracts, it performs much of its work under individual task orders and delivery orders, many of which are awarded on a competitive basis. If Utilipoint cannot obtain new work in a timely fashion, whether through new task orders or delivery orders, modifications to existing task orders or delivery orders, or otherwise, it may not be able to keep its staff profitably utilized. It is difficult to predict when assignments will be obtained. Moreover, Utilipoint must manage its staff carefully in order to ensure that consultants with appropriate qualifications are available when needed and are utilized to the fullest extent. There can be no assurance that Utilipoint can profitably manage the utilization of its staff. Staff under-utilization may hurt our revenue, profit and operating results.
 
We have reported several material weaknesses in the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and if we cannot maintain effective internal controls or provide reliable financial and other information, investors may lose confidence in our SEC reports.

We reported material weaknesses in the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting related to the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment.  In addition, we concluded  that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.  Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.  Disclosure controls generally include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to provide reliable financial and other reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot maintain effective internal controls or provide reliable financial or SEC reports or prevent fraud, investors may lose confidence in our SEC reports, our operating results and the trading price of our common stock could suffer and we might become subject to litigation.

 If we fail to successfully educate existing and potential customers regarding the benefits of our service offerings or solutions or if the Smart Grid market fails to develop, our ability to sell our solutions and grow our business could be limited.
 
Our future success depends on commercial acceptance of our clean energy and Smart Grid solutions and our ability to obtain additional contracts. We anticipate that revenues related to our consulting services and solutions will constitute a substantial portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. The market for clean energy and Smart Grid solutions is relatively new. In addition, because the clean energy and Smart Grid solutions sector is rapidly evolving, we cannot accurately assess the size of the market, and we may have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. For example, we may have difficulty predicting customer needs and developing clean energy and Smart Grid solutions that address those needs. If the market for our consulting services and solutions does not continue to develop, our ability to grow our business could be limited and we may not be able to achieve profitability.

If we lose key personnel upon whom we depend or fail to attract and retain skilled employees, we may not be able to manage our operations and meet our strategic objectives.
 
We believe that our success depends on the continued contributions of the members of our senior management team. Also, we rely on our senior management to generate business and manage and execute projects and programs successfully. In addition, the relationships and reputation that many members of our senior management team have established and maintain with client personnel and industry professionals contribute to our ability to maintain good client relations and identify new business opportunities. We are especially dependent on our senior management team’s experience and expertise to implement our acquisition strategy. The loss of key personnel could impair our ability to implement our growth strategy through acquisitions, identify and secure new contracts, to maintain good client relations, and otherwise manage our business.
 
Also, we must continue to hire highly qualified individuals who have technical skills and who work well with our clients. These employees are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to recruit and retain a sufficient number of these employees, our ability to staff engagements and to maintain and grow our business could be limited. In such a case, we may be unable to win or perform contracts, and we could be required to engage larger numbers of subcontractor personnel, any of which could cause a reduction in our revenue, profit and operating results and harm our reputation. We could even default under one or more contracts for failure to perform, which could expose us to additional liability and further harm our reputation and ability to compete for future contracts. In addition, some of our contracts contain provisions requiring us to commit to staff engagements with specific personnel the client considers key to our performance under the contract. In the event we are unable to provide these key personnel or acceptable substitutes, or otherwise staff our work, the client may reduce the size and scope of our engagement under a contract or terminate it, and our revenue and operating results may suffer. In addition, consistent with their employment agreements, Nana Baffour, our CEO and Johnson Kachidza, our President and CFO are only required to dedicate at least 65% of their time to of the Company. Our inability to utilize more than 65% of their time may adversely affect our ability to execute on our business plan.
 
We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or complete acquisitions successfully, which may inhibit our rate of growth.
 
In addition to organic growth, we intend to pursue growth through the acquisition of companies or assets that may enable us to expand our project skill-sets and capabilities, enter new geographic markets, add experienced management and expand our product and service offerings. However, we may be unable to implement this growth strategy if we cannot identify suitable acquisition candidates or reach agreements for potential acquisitions on acceptable terms, or for other reasons. Our failure to successfully implement our acquisition strategy could have an adverse effect on other aspects of our business strategy and our business in general and could inhibit our growth and future profitability. Our inability to procure adequate financing for acquisitions may adversely impact our ability to complete the acquisitions successfully or at all. 
 
In addition if and to the extent we engage in acquisitions of companies of which our officers and directors are affiliates, conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the negotiations of acquisition terms and conditions which may impact our ability to complete those acquisitions on the most favorable terms to us.
  
We may not be able to successfully integrate acquisitions to realize the full benefits of the combined business, and may therefore suffer losses or not be as profitable as planned.
 
Acquisitions that we complete may expose us to a number of unanticipated operational or financial risks, including:
 
 
The business we acquire may not prove to be profitable and my cause us to incur additional consolidated losses from operations;
 
·  
we may have difficulty integrating new operations and systems;
 
·  
key personnel and customers of the acquired company may terminate their relationships with the acquired company as a result of the acquisition;
 
·  
we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as internal control, tax planning and financial reporting;
 
·  
we may assume or be held liable for risks and liabilities (including for environmental-related costs) as a result of our acquisitions, some of which we may not discover during our due diligence;
 
·  
our ongoing business may be disrupted or receive insufficient management attention; and
 
·  
we may not be able to realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipate.
 

 

 
 
19

 
 
 
 
Moreover, to the extent that any acquisition results in goodwill, it will reduce our tangible net worth, which might have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain credit. In addition, in the event that we issue shares of our common stock as part or all of the purchase price, an acquisition will dilute the ownership of our then-current stockholders.
 
The process of completing the integration of acquisitions could cause an interruption, or loss of, momentum in our activities. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the merger and the integration of the operations of acquisition targets could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Our business may become subject to modified or new government regulation, which may negatively impact our ability to market our products.
 
Our services are not subject to existing federal and state regulations in the U.S. governing the electric utility industry. In the future, federal, state or local governmental entities or competitors may seek to change existing regulations or impose additional regulations. Any modified or new government regulation applicable to our products or services may negatively impact the implementation, servicing and marketing of our services and increase our costs.
 
Our relations with our contracting partners are important to our business and, if disrupted, could affect our earnings.
 
We derive a portion of our revenue from contracts under which we act as a subcontractor or from “teaming” arrangements in which we and other contractors jointly bid on particular contracts, projects or programs. As a subcontractor or team member, we often lack control over fulfillment of a contract. Poor performance by the prime contractor could tarnish our reputation, result in reduction of the amount of our work under or result in termination of that contract, and could cause us not to obtain future work, even when we are not at fault. We expect to continue to depend on relationships with other contractors for a portion of our revenue and profit in the foreseeable future. Moreover, our revenue and operating results could be materially and adversely affected if any prime contractor or teammate does not pay our invoices in a timely fashion, chooses to offer products or services of the type that we provide, teams with other companies to provide such products or services, or otherwise reduces its reliance upon us for such products or services.
 
We derive significant revenue from contracts awarded through a competitive bidding process, which can impose substantial costs upon us, and we will lose revenue if we fail to compete effectively.
 
We derive significant revenue and gross profit from utility contracts that are awarded through a competitive bidding process. We expect that most of the business we seek in the foreseeable future from these clients will be awarded through competitive bidding. We will occasionally bid these jobs as the prime contractor, and occasionally as a sub-contractor. Competitive bidding imposes substantial costs and presents a number of risks, including:
 
·  
the substantial cost and managerial time and effort that we spend to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may or may not be awarded to us;
 
·  
·the need to estimate accurately the resources and costs that will be required to service any contracts we are awarded, sometimes in advance of the final determination of their full scope;
 
·  
the expense and delay that may arise if our competitors protest or challenge awards made to us pursuant to competitive bidding, and the risk that any such protest or challenge could result in the resubmission of bids on modified specifications, and in termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contracts; and
 
·  
the opportunity cost of not bidding on and winning other contracts we might otherwise pursue.
 
To the extent we engage in competitive bidding and are unable to win particular contracts, we may incur substantial costs in the bidding process that would negatively affect our operating results. Even if we win a particular contract through competitive bidding, our gross profit margins may be depressed or we may suffer losses as a result of the costs incurred through the bidding process and the need to lower our prices to overcome competition.
 
We may lose money on some contracts if we underestimate the resources we need to perform under the contract.
 
We provide services to clients primarily under three types of contracts: time-and-materials contracts; fixed-price contracts; and bundled service agreement contracts. Each of these types of contracts, to differing degrees, involves the risk that we could underestimate our cost of fulfilling the contract, which may reduce the profit we earn or lead to a financial loss on the contract. To the extent our working assumptions prove inaccurate, we may lose money on the contract, which would adversely affect our operating results.
 
 
 
 
20

 
 
For all three contract types, we bear varying degrees of risk associated with the assumptions we use to formulate our pricing for the work. To the extent our working assumptions prove inaccurate, we may lose money on the contract, which would adversely affect our operating results.
 
Our international operations are subject to risks which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
We currently have international operations and expect to expand these operations over time. Such international business operations will be subject to a variety of risks associated with conducting business internationally, including the following:
 
·
changes in, or interpretations of, foreign regulations that may adversely affect our ability to perform services or repatriate profits, if any, to the United States;
 
·
difficulties in developing, staffing, and managing a large number of foreign operations as a result of distance, language, and cultural differences;
 
·
economic or political instability in foreign countries;
 
·
imposition of limitations on or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries or joint ventures;
 
·
conducting business in places where business practices and customs are unfamiliar and unknown;
 
·
the existence of inconsistent laws or regulations;
 
·
the imposition or increase of investment requirements and other restrictions or requirements by foreign governments;
 
·
uncertainties relating to foreign laws and legal proceedings;
 
·
fluctuations in foreign currency and exchange rates; and
 
·
failure to comply with U.S. laws (such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials.
 
The realization of any of the foregoing, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our operating results may be affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may affect our operating results in U.S. dollar terms.
 
A portion of our revenue arises from our international operations and we anticipate that, as we grow, our revenues from international operations will increase. Revenues generated and expenses incurred by our international operations are often denominated in local currencies. As a result, our consolidated U.S. dollar financial statements are subject to fluctuations due to changes in exchange rates as revenues and expenses of our international operations are translated from local currencies into U.S. dollars. In addition, our financial results are subject to changes in exchange rates that impact the settlement of transactions. The Company does not undertake any hedges to protect against adverse foreign currency exposure.
 
An economic or industry slowdown may materially and adversely affect our business.
 
Our business depends on providing services to utility companies. In past two years, economic conditions have deteriorated significantly in the United States and other countries, and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Slowdowns in the economy may reduce the demand for our services by causing utility companies to delay or abandon implementation of new systems and technologies. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery. These economic factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
 
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitation which could result in increased future tax liability for us.
 
Generally, a change of more than 50% in the ownership of a company’s stock, by value, over a three-year period constitutes an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An ownership change may limit a company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards attributable to the period prior to such change. The number of shares of our common stock that we issue in this offering may be sufficient, taking into account prior or future shifts in our ownership over a three-year period, to cause us to undergo an ownership change. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could result in increased future tax liability for us.
 
 
 
21

 
 
 
To the extent that we do not generate sufficient funds from ongoing operations, we may need to raise additional capital, failure to do so could adversely affect us.
 
The failure to raise additional capital could adversely affect us.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully generate new and additional business. To the extent that the funds generated by public offering and the income from ongoing operations are insufficient to fund our current and future operating requirements, we may need to raise additional capital through financings or curtail our growth. If we cannot obtain adequate capital, or can only obtain capital on unfavorable terms, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Insiders have substantial control over the company, and issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to our incentive plan will dilute your ownership and voting rights and allow insiders to control the direction of the Company.
 
The executive officers of Midas Medici and its directors beneficially owned, as of March 30, 2011 in the aggregate, approximately 4,983,228 shares of our outstanding common stock, which constitutes approximately 65.2% of our outstanding shares.  Our officers and directors ownership percentage will increase as a result of any shares issued under our incentive plan under which we can issue 650,000 shares to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. Through March 30, 2011 we have granted options to purchase an aggregate of 503,176 shares of our common stock to our management.
 
The executive officers of Midas Medici and its directors have the ability to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of our stockholders.

There has been limited trading in our common stock since quotation commenced on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, accordingly investors may be unable to liquidate their investment.

Since February 22, 2010, our shares of common stock have been included for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol MMED. There can be no assurance that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment. Even if a market for our common stock does develop, the market price of our common stock may continue to be highly volatile.
 
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities in the secondary market.
 
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity of our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
 
Our common stock could be subject to extreme volatility.
 
The trading price of our common stock may be affected by a number of factors, including events described in the risk factors set forth in this report, as well as our operating results, financial condition and other events or factors. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our common stock and wide bid-ask spreads. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.  In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our stock.
 
 
We have never paid common stock dividends and have no plans to pay dividends in the future, as a result our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
 
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our common stock may have will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of common stock. There can be  no assurance that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.
 
 
 
22

 
 
 
Our common stock may be subject to “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell our common stock.
 
 Our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we are subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market liquidity of our stock and investors may find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
 
The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.
 
Our certificate of incorporation gives our board of directors the right to create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.
 
We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
 
If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, the successful execution of our business plan requires significant cash resources, including cash for investments and acquisition. Changes in business conditions and future developments could also increase our cash requirements. To the extent we are unable to obtain external financing, we will not be able to execute our business plan effectively. Although we recently procured a working capital line of credit, our ability to draw upon that line is subject to our compliance with covenants such as net worth, operating profits and adequate accounts receivable balances. Further, this line of credit is secured by all our assets and a default under the Revolving Credit Facility agreement could result in the loss of our assets. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.
 
The implementation of our stock-based incentive plan may dilute your percentage ownership interest and may also result in downward pressure on the price of our stock.
 
Our board has adopted a stock-based incentive plan. Under the incentive plan, currently the Company can grant a maximum of up to 650,000 shares to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. Shareholders would experience a dilution in ownership interest assuming the maximum issuance of 650,000 shares from stock options or awards of restricted stock under the plan.  In addition, the existence of a significant amount of stock and stock options that are issuable under our incentive plan may be perceived by the market as having a dilutive effect, which could lead to a decrease in the price of our common stock.
 
We have significant related party transactions, which may be viewed unfavorably by investors.
 
We have consummated several transactions with affiliated parties (See section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”) Investors may view such transactions unfavorably and may be reluctant to purchase our stock, which could negatively affect both the price and market for our common stock.

Risks Related To Consonus’ Business
 
Losses from continuing operations.
 
Consonus has experienced losses in several years. The losses were generated by the business that remains as continuing operations.

Consonus services and solutions have a long sales cycle that may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

A customer's decision to purchase other services and solutions from Consonus typically involves a significant commitment of resources, including time. These long sales cycles for new business not currently under contract tend to make the timing and amount of its revenue unpredictable. Furthermore, Consonus may expend significant time and resources in pursuing a particular sale or customer that do not result in revenue. As a result of these factors, Consonus believes that its quarterly revenue and results of operations are likely to vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results may not be meaningful. Delays due to length of its sales cycle may also materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Consonus customers may choose to in-source IT capabilities as a substitute for its services and solutions, consolidate their relationships with other providers or choose to manage their IT infrastructure in different ways, any of which could adversely affect Consonus’ success.

As Consonus customers grow in size and complexity and develop more comprehensive back office capabilities, there is an increasing likelihood that they will choose to in-source key IT activities which were previously provided by Consonus in an attempt to reduce expenses. Although Consonus is focused on building its customer base of small to medium-sized businesses, currently, many of its top 10 customers consist of relatively large enterprises, which may further develop their own internal IT or data storage capabilities, thereby decreasing or eliminating the need for Consonus’ services and solutions. Additionally, Consonus’ customers may establish relationships or strengthen existing, or form new relationships with systems integrators, third party consulting firms or other parties, which could lead them to terminate their relationships with it, or pursue alternative means to manage their IT infrastructure or data center related activities. If customers representing a material portion of Consonus’ revenue base decide to terminate the services and solutions it provides for them, its revenue could materially decline and this may adversely affect its business, operating results and financial position.
 
If Consonus’ security systems are breached it could incur liability, its services may be perceived as not being secure, and its business and reputation could suffer.

Consonus business involves the storage, management, and transmission of the proprietary information of customers. Although Consonus employs control procedures to protect the security of data its store, manage and transmit for its customers, it cannot guarantee that these measures will be sufficient for this purpose. Breaches of its security could result in misappropriation of personal information, suspension of hosting operations or interruptions in its services. If Consonus’ security measures are breached as a result of a third-party action, employee error or otherwise, and as a result customers' information becomes available to unauthorized parties, it could incur liability and its reputation would be damaged. This could lead to the loss of current and potential customers. If Consonus experiences any breaches of its network security due to unauthorized access, sabotage, or human error, it may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to remedy, protect against or alleviate these and related problems. Consonus also may not be able to remedy these problems in a timely manner, or at all. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized network access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, it may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. Consonus’ systems are also exposed to computer viruses, denial of service attacks and bulk unsolicited commercial email, or spam. Being subject to these events and items could cause a loss of service and data to customers, even if the resulting disruption is temporary.

The property and business interruption insurance Consonus carries may not provide coverage adequate to compensate it fully for losses that may occur or litigation that may be instituted against it in these circumstances. It could be required to make significant expenditures to repair its systems in the event that they are damaged or destroyed, or if the delivery of its services to its customers is delayed and its business could be harmed.

In addition, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and certain state agencies have investigated various companies' use of their customers' personal information. Various governments have also enacted laws protecting the privacy of consumers' non-public personal information. Consonus’ failure to comply with existing laws (including those of foreign countries), the adoption of new laws or regulations regarding the use of personal information that requires it to change the way it conducts its business, or an investigation of its privacy practices could increase the costs of operating our business.

Consonus faces intense and growing competition. If  it is unable to compete successfully, its business will be seriously harmed through loss of customers or increased negative pricing pressure.

The market for Consonus’ services and solutions is extremely competitive. Its competitors vary in size and in the variety of services and solutions they offer, and include:
• national and international hosting, co-location and managed service providers;
• regional hosting providers; and
• national and international full service IT infrastructure outsourcing providers.
 
 
 
24

 
 
 
Some of Consonus’ current and potential direct competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than Consonus does, and greater brand recognition. In addition, competitors may operate more successfully or form alliances to acquire significant market share. These direct competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. They may also be able to devote more resources to the promotion, sale and development of their services and solutions than Consonus and there can be no assurance that Consonus’ current and future competitors will not be able to develop services and solutions comparable or superior to those offered by it at more competitive prices. As a result, in the future, Consonus may suffer from an inability to offer competitive services and solutions or be subject to negative pricing pressure that would adversely affect its ability to generate revenue and adversely affect our operating results.


Consonus is highly dependent on third-party service and technology providers and any loss, impairment or breakdown in those relationships could damage its operations significantly if it is unable to find alternative providers.

Consonus is dependent on other companies to supply various key components of its infrastructure, including network equipment, telecommunications backbone connectivity, the connections from its customers' networks to its network, and connections to other Internet network providers. Consonus is also dependent on the same companies for the hardware, software and services that it sells and delivers to its customers. For example, approximately 32% of the products Consonus sells and delivers to its customers are provided by Symantec Corporation, another approximately 28% of the products and services Consonus sells to its customers are provided by Sun/Oracle Corporation and another approximately another 25% of the products and services it sells to its customers are provided by NetApp, Inc., based on billing data for the 12 month period ended December 2010. There can be no assurance that any of these providers will be able to continue to provide these services or products without interruption and in an efficient, cost-effective manner, or that they will be able to adequately meet Consonus’ needs as its business develops. There is also no assurance that any agreements that Consonus has in place with these third-party providers will not be terminated or will be renewed, or if renewed, renewed on commercially acceptable terms. If Consonus is unable to obtain required products or services from third-party suppliers on a timely basis and at an acceptable cost, it may be unable to provide its data center and IT infrastructure services and solutions on a competitive and timely basis, if at all. If its suppliers fail to provide products or services on a timely basis and at an acceptable cost, it may be unable to meet its customer service commitments and, as a result, Consonus may experience increased costs or loss of revenue, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Consonus resells products and services of third parties that may require it to pay for such products and services even if Consonus’ customers fail to pay it for the products and services, which may have a negative impact on its cash flow and operating results.

In order to provide resale services such as bandwidth, managed services, other network management services and infrastructure equipment, Consonus contracts with third party service providers, such as Sun/Oracle Corporation, NetApp, Inc., XO Holdings, Inc., VeriSign, Inc. and Hewlett Packard Company. These services require Consonus to enter into fixed term contracts for services with third party suppliers of products and services. If it experiences the loss of a customer who has purchased a resale product or service, Consonus will remain obligated to continue to pay its suppliers for the term of the underlying contracts. The payment of these obligations without a corresponding payment from customers will reduce its financial resources and may have a material adverse effect on its financial performance, cash flow and operating results.

Consonus may fail to adequately protect its proprietary technology, which would allow competitors or others to take advantage of its research and development efforts.

Consonus relies upon trade secrets, proprietary know-how, and continuing technological innovation to develop new data center and IT infrastructure services and solutions and to remain competitive. If its competitors learn of Consonus’ proprietary technology or processes, they may use this information to produce data center and IT infrastructure services and solutions that are equivalent or superior to Consonus’ services and solutions, which could materially adversely affect its business, operations and financial position. Consonus’ employees and consultants may breach their obligations not to reveal its confidential information, and any remedies available to Consonus may be insufficient to compensate its damages. Even in the absence of such breaches, Consonus’ trade secrets and proprietary know-how may otherwise become known to its competitors, or be independently discovered by its competitors, which could adversely affect its competitive position.

Consonus is dependent on the reliability and performance of its internally developed systems and operations. Any difficulties in maintaining these systems, whether due to human error or otherwise, may result in service interruptions, decreased service quality for its customers, a loss of customers or increased expenditures.

Consonus’ revenue and profit depend on the reliability and performance of its services and solutions. Consonus has  contractual obligations to provide service level credits to almost all of its customers against future invoices in the event that certain service disruptions occur. Furthermore, customers may terminate their agreements with Consonus as a result of significant service interruptions, or its inability, whether actual or perceived, to provide its services and solutions at desired quality levels or at any time. If Consonus’ services are unavailable, or customers are dissatisfied with its performance, it could lose customers, its revenue and profits would decrease and its business operations or financial position could be harmed. In addition, the software and workflow processes that underlie its ability to deliver its services and solutions have been developed primarily by its own employees and consultants. Malfunctions in the software Consonus uses or human error could result in its inability to provide services or cause unforeseen technical problems. If Consonus incurs significant financial commitments to its customers in connection with its failure to meet service level commitment obligations, it may incur significant liability and its liability insurance and revenue reserves may not be adequate. In addition, any loss of services, equipment damage or inability to meet its service level commitment obligations could reduce the confidence of its customers and could consequently impair its ability to obtain and retain customers, which would adversely affect both its ability to generate revenue and its operating results.

Consonus operates in a price sensitive market and is subject to pressures from customers to decrease its fees for the services and solutions it provides. Any reduction in price would likely reduce its margins and could adversely affect its operating results.

The competitive market in which Consonus conducts its business could require it to reduce its prices. If Consonus’ competitors offer discounts on certain products or services in an effort to recapture or gain market share or to sell other products, Consonus may be required to lower its prices or offer other favorable terms to compete successfully. Any of these changes would likely reduce Consonus’ margins and could adversely affect its operating results. Some of Consonus’ competitors may bundle products and services that compete with it for promotional purposes or as a long-term pricing strategy or provide guarantees of prices and product implementations. In addition, many of the services and solutions that Consonus provide sand markets are not unique to it and its customers and target customers may not distinguish Consonus’ services and solutions from those of its competitors. All of these factors could, over time, limit or reduce the prices that Consonus can charge for its services and solutions. If Consonus cannot offset price reductions with a corresponding increase in the number of sales or with lower spending, then the reduced revenue resulting from lower prices would adversely affect its margins and operating results.

If Consonus is unable to retain and grow its customer base, as well as its end-user base, its revenue and profit will be adversely affected.

In order to execute its business plan successfully, Consonus must maintain existing relationships with its customers and establish new relationships with additional small and medium-sized businesses. Consonus’ ability to attract customers will depend on a variety of factors, including the presence of multiple telecommunications carriers and its ability to provide and market an attractive and useful mix of products and services. If Consonus is unable to diversify and extend its customer base, its ability to grow its business may be compromised, which would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.


If economic or other factors negatively affect the small and medium-sized business sector, Consonus’ customers and target customers may become unwilling or unable to purchase its services and solutions, which could cause Consonus’ revenue to decline and impair its ability to operate profitably.

 Many of Consonus’ existing and target customers include small and medium-sized businesses. These businesses are more likely to be significantly affected by economic downturns, such as the ongoing recession, than larger, more established businesses. Additionally, these businesses often have limited funds, which they may choose to spend on items other than Consonus’ services and solutions. If a material portion of the small and medium-sized businesses that Consonus services, or are looking to service, experience economic hardship, these small and medium-sized businesses may be unwilling or unable to expend resources on the services and solutions it provides, which would negatively affect the overall demand for its services and could cause its revenue to decline.

If Consonus does not respond effectively and on a timely basis to rapid technological change, its business could suffer.

The markets in which Consonus operates are characterized by changing technology and evolving industry standards. There can be no assurance that Consonus’ current and future competitors will not be able to develop services or expertise comparable or superior to those it has developed or to adapt more quickly than Consonus to new technologies, evolving industry standards or customer requirements. Failure or delays in Consonus’ ability to develop services and solutions to respond to industry or user trends or developments and the actions of its competitors could have a material adverse effect on Consonus’ business, results of operations and financial condition. Consonus’ ability to anticipate changes in technology, technical standards and product offerings will be a significant factor in the success in its current business and in expanding into new markets.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
 
On July 27, 2009, the Board approved the Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc. Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “MMGH Plan”). The purpose of the MMGH Plan is to give us a competitive advantage in attracting, retaining, and motivating officers, employees, directors, and consultants and to provide us with an incentive plan that gives officers, employees, directors, and consultants financial incentives directly linked to shareholder value.
 
The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 650,000. However for the period commencing January 1, 2010, the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan shall be equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis but shall not be less than 650,000.  Pursuant to the Plan, incentive stock options or non-qualified options to purchase shares of common stock may be issued.  The plan may be administered by our board of directors or by a committee to which administration of the Plan, or part of the Plan, may be delegated by our board of directors. Options granted under the Plan are not generally transferable by the optionee except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and are exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee. Options granted under the plan vest in such increments as is determined by our board of directors or designated committee. To the extent that options are vested, they must be exercised within a maximum of 90 days of the end of the optionee's status as an employee, director or consultant, or within a maximum of 12 months after such optionee's termination or by death or disability, but in no event later than the expiration of the option term. The exercise price of all stock options granted under the plan will be determined by our board of directors or designated committee. With respect to any participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option granted must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Overview

Midas Medici was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 30, 2006 under the name Mondo Acquisition I, Inc. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination through the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business. On May 15, 2009, we, Mondo Management Corp., our then sole shareholder, and Midas Medici Group, Inc. entered into a Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Mondo Management Corp. sold to Midas Medici Group, Inc.  1,000,000 previously  issued  and outstanding  shares  of  the  Company's restricted common stock, comprising 100% of  the  issued  and outstanding  capital  stock  of the Company. The execution of the Purchase Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, both in its shareholding and management. Effective May 22, 2009, the Company changed its name to Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc.
 
Prior to its reverse merger transaction with Utilipoint International, Inc., the Company was a “shell company” based on its business activities. Under SEC rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company also qualified as a “shell company,” because it had no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations.
 
With the acquisition of Utilipoint on August 21, 2009, the merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization which resulted in Midas Medici being the "legal acquirer" and Utilipoint the "accounting acquirer".
 
Utilipoint, the Company’s  wholly-owned subsidiary,  provides consulting services and proprietary research to its clients using multi-disciplinary teams with deep subject matter expertise, analytical methodologies, primary research and technology-enabled tools. As of the date of filing of this report, Utilipoint has 19 employees. More than 50% of Utilipoint’s professional staff hold post-graduate degrees in such diverse fields as economics, engineering, business administration, information technology, law, life sciences and public policy. Utilipoint’s senior managers have considerable industry and project management experience and an average tenure of more than 20 years in the industry. We believe this diverse pool of intellectual capital enables us to provide creative solutions to our clients’ most pressing problems.

Utilipoint is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with two domestic regional offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Sugar Land, Texas. It maintains international operations through its office in Brno, Czech Republic.

Results of Operations

The following discussion highlights results from our comparison of consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated.
 
Fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
 
Net revenues. Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $1,123,140 compared to $3,009,163 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in net revenues was primarily due to the loss of employees, shift to low risk higher margin projects and the Company's clients and target customers cutting budgets for discretionary spending (as a result of the recent recessionary macroeconomic conditions) that account for the Company's core revenues sources.
 
Cost of services. Cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $580,799 or 52% of net revenue, compared to 1,757,823 or 58% of net revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in our margins, as a result of lower cost of services as a percentage of net revenues, was primarily due to decreased direct expenses by utilization of internal labor expenses only.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $2,937,000, compared to $2,722,871 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased significantly primarily due to expenses related to the preparation and filing of the registration statement, and additional employee compensation costs of $135,000.
 
Operating loss. For the year ended December 31, 2010, losses from operations totaled $2,405,354, compared to an operating loss of $1,491,454 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Loss from operations increased primarily due to reduced net revenues combined with expenses related to the preparation and filing of the registration statement and stock-based compensation related expenses.
 
Interest and tax expense. For the year ended December 31, 2010, interest expense was $142,960, compared to $89,638 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Tax provisions were not material for either period.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,914 and working capital deficiency of $2,359,777.
 
Cash flow used in operations was $1,548,600 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to cash flow used in operations of $298,612 in the prior year. The increase in cash flow used in operations resulted from the net loss of $2,554,964 offset by non-cash charges from stock based compensation of $302,139, increased customer collections resulting in a reduction in accounts receivable of $219,575 and extending payment terms to increase accounts payables and accrued expenses of $620,538. Cash flow used in operations in 2009 was related primarily to the net loss from operations, net customer collections resulting in a reduction in accounts receivable and extending payment terms, increased accounts payables and accrued expenses.
  
Cash used in investing activities was $824 for the year ended December 31, 2010 was related to purchases of furniture and fixtures. Cash provided by investing activities was $15,017 for the year ended December 31, 2009 was related to cash proceeds received from the merger offset by purchases of computers and office equipment 

Cash provided by financing activities consists principally of net proceeds received from related party notes and revolving credit facilities of $1,500,929 and $205,765 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

On October 14, 2009, the Company, entered into a revolving loan agreement with Proficio Bank (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to loan up to $500,000 (the “Loan”) to the Company which amounts will be evidenced by a Senior Secured Revolving Promissory Note. Interest on the Loan was payable monthly in arrears commencing on November 1, 2009, at a rate which is equal to the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 2.5%, or a minimum of  6.5%. In the event of default, as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement; the interest rate shall bear additional interest of 3%. The Loan is secured by all of our property, including, all our accounts, inventory, furniture, fixtures, equipment, leasehold improvements, chattel paper and general intangibles and all proceeds thereof. In connection with the Loan, in addition to the Loan Agreement, we entered into a Security Agreement with Proficio and the holders of the senior subordinate debentures issued by Utilipoint entered into a Subordination and Standstill Agreement.  The credit facility matured on October 14, 2010 and was paid in full on November 2, 2010.
 
 
 
29

 
 

 
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business and, accordingly, no adjustments have been made to recorded amounts that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2010 was $4,817,626, and we incurred  net losses of $2,554,964 and $1,582,108 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  On December 31, 2010, we had working capital deficit of $2,359,777. Historically, Utilipoint has funded its operations with cash obtained mainly from stockholders and third-party financings.
 
In February 2010, the Company completed a public offering. Net proceeds of the offering totaled $1,177,600 after taking into account underwriting discount and commissions of $102,400.   The public offering included 256,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. Certain of our affiliates converted outstanding debt of up to $250,000 in the offering.
 
We expect that our cash flow from operations, external financing and subsequent restructuring of our balance sheet will allow us to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, excluding any additional funding we will need to pursue our acquisition strategy. Such acquisitions, if entered into, will be funded by the sale of additional debt or equity securities or additional bank financing. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders and there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in raising those additional funds on terms that are acceptable to us. Any acquisitions we undertake may be funded through other forms of debt, such as publicly issued or privately placed senior or subordinated debt.
 
Our liquidity is affected by many factors, some based on the normal ongoing operations of the business and others related to the uncertainties of the industries in which we compete. Our liquidity may also be adversely affected by the current economic conditions, including consumer spending, the ability to collect our accounts receivable and our ability to obtain working capital. There is no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company and its stockholders, or at all. 
 
Impact of our initial public offering

The completion of our initial public offering, pursuant to which, in February 2010, we sold 256,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds (net proceeds available to the Company after deducting underwriting discount and commissions was $1,177,600) of $1,280,000.  Over the long term, our results of operations will be affected by the costs of being a public entity, including changes in board and executive compensation, the costs of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the costs of complying with the Security Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and NASDAQ requirements, and increased insurance, accounting and legal costs. These costs are not reflected in our historical results.


Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, certain revenue recognition related to contract deliverables, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, rates at which deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be recorded or settled, accruals for paid time off and the estimated labor utilization rate used to determine cost of services of our foreign subsidiary. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Our management believes the following accounting policies and estimates are most critical to aid you in understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s primary revenue streams and the basis on which revenue is recognized for each are as follows:
 
Fixed-Price Contracts
Fixed price contracts are projects where services are provided at an agreed upon price for defined deliverables. On occasion, clients with fixed price contracts will require an accounting of all hours worked on a project at an agreed upon hourly rate to accompany an invoice.
 
 
 
 
30

 
 
 
Bundled Service Agreements (“BSAs”)
BSAs are packages of services that clients subscribe to, typically on an annual contract basis. The services typically include a combination of the following:
 
•      Access to subject matter experts as needed, by telephone
•      Discounted fees for Utilipoint events
•      Advertising space on the IssueAlert® e-publication
•      One to three reports and/or whitepapers on industry topics
•      Briefings on industry trends and research findings
 
BSAs also include annual memberships in the Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Meter Data Management (“AMI MDM”) forum and corporate contracts. The AMI MDM forum is designed for electric, water, and/or gas utilities, regulators, utility governing boards, independent system operators and consumer advocacy groups to come together and discuss meter data management successes, problems, issues, interfaces and best practices. Corporate contracts are characterized by an annual contract for a pre-defined amount of market research hours.  Clients of this service receive access to Utilipoint’s directory and InfoGrid products. The primary service is the block of hours purchased.
 
The Company believes that the substance of BSAs, as pointed out in a recent survey of its clients, indicates that the purchaser pays for a service that is delivered over time.  As a result, revenue recognition occurs over the subscription period, or in the case of corporate contracts as the hours are utilized, reflecting the pattern of provision of service.
 
Time and Materials Contracts (“T&M”)
T&M are services billed at a set hourly rate.  Project related expenses are passed through at cost to clients.  Normally invoices occur on monthly basis. Utilipoint recognizes revenue as billed unless the project has a major deliverable(s) associated with it, in which case the revenue is deferred until the major deliverable(s) is provided.
 
Events and Sponsorships
The Company hosts events such as conferences.  These events include revenues from sponsorships and registration fees which are recognized in the month of the event.  Revenues from sponsors of the AMI MDM forum are recognized over the annual subscription period, reflecting the pattern of provision of service.

The Company’s deferred revenue consists primarily of amounts received from or billed to clients in conjunction with BSAs, T&M and fixed price contracts for which revenue is recognized over time or upon completion of contract deliverables.

Effects of inflation

We generally have been able to price our contracts in a manner to accommodate the rates of inflation experienced in recent years, although we cannot be sure that we will be able to do so in the future.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.
 
Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc.

 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries  (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and their results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MIDAS MEDICI GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 

Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc, formerly Mondo Acquisition I, Inc. (“Midas Medici”, the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 30, 2006 for the purpose of raising capital that is intended to be used in connection with its business plans which may include a possible merger, acquisition or other business combination with an operating business. On May 15, 2009, Mondo Management Corp., the then sole shareholder, and Midas Medici Group, Inc. entered into a Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Mondo Management Corp. sold  to Midas Medici Group 1,000,000 previously  issued  and outstanding  shares  of  Mondo Management Corp.'s restricted common stock, comprising 100% of  the  issued  and outstanding  capital  stock  of Mondo Management Corp. The execution of the Purchase Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, both in its shareholding and management. Effective May 22, 2009, the Company changed its name to Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc.

On August 21, 2009, Midas Medici and Utilipoint International, Inc. (“Utilipoint”), entered into a reverse merger transaction, which resulted in Midas Medici being the “legal acquirer” and Utilipoint the “accounting acquirer”. The prospective filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) included the historical financial results of Utilipoint as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and Midas Medici, and its subsidiaries only as of and for the period commencing August 21, 2009, the date of the reverse merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, an aggregate of 1,348,516 shares of Midas Medici were issued to Utilipoint shareholders in exchange for 42,191 Utilipoint shares (which represents 100% of the then outstanding shares). This includes 21,523 Utilipoint Series A Preferred Stock that were converted to 687,922 Midas Medici common shares. Further, all outstanding Utilipoint options were exchanged for 172,597 Midas Medici options in accordance with the Midas Medici stock option program, adopted on July 27, 2009. Immediately after the closing of the acquisition and as of December 31, 2010, an aggregate of 2,586,516 shares of common stock were outstanding. Hence, the 1,348,516 shares represented approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of Midas Medici.

At the closing of the Merger Agreement on August 21, 2009, Midas Medici ceased to be a shell company. Any reference to “Company”, “Midas Medici”, “we” or “our” after August 21, 2009, refers to Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc. together with our wholly-owned subsidiary Utilipoint and its subsidiaries.

References herein to Utilipoint common shares  has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio 31.962187 Midas Medici common shares for each share of Utilipoint common stock established in the Merger Agreement.

Utilipoint, together with its subsidiaries, is a utility and energy consulting, and issues analysis firm. Utilipoint offers public issues and regulatory management, advanced metering infrastructure and meter data management, rates and demand response, utility energy and technology, trading and risk management, and energy investment services. Utilipoint provides its services to energy companies, utilities, investors, regulators, and industry service providers primarily in North America and Europe. Utilipoint also serves select clients in Asia, South America, Africa and the Middle East. Utilipoint is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with two domestic regional offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Houston, Texas, and is incorporated under the laws of the State of New Mexico. Utilipoint also has a wholly owned subsidiary, Utilipoint, s.r.o., in the Czech Republic and maintains its international operations through its office in Brno, Czech Republic.

In July 2009, Utilipoint acquired a controlling interest in The Intelligent Project, LLC (“IP”). IP is a research and advisory services firm addressing the challenges that utilities face in advancing and solving electricity consumers’ needs related to the Smart Grid. IP is headquartered in West Lafayette, Indiana. The acquisition was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control.  As such, expenditures amounting to $177,603 for the period from January 1, 2009 through date of acquisition have been included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009 (See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions).
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc and subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

MIDAS MEDICI GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)            Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s primary revenue streams and the basis on which revenue is recognized for each are as follows:
 
Fixed-Price Contracts
Fixed price contracts are projects where services are provided at an agreed upon price for defined deliverables. On occasion, clients with fixed price contracts will require an accounting of all hours worked on a project at an agreed upon hourly rate to accompany an invoice.
 
Bundled Service Agreements (“BSAs”)
BSAs are packages of services that clients subscribe to, typically on an annual contract basis. The services typically include a combination of the following:
 
•      Access to subject matter experts as needed, by telephone
•      Discounted fees for Utilipoint events
•      Advertising space on the IssueAlert® e-publication
•      One to three reports and/or whitepapers on industry topics
•      Briefings on industry trends and research findings
 
BSAs also include annual memberships in the Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Meter Data Management (“AMI MDM”) forum and corporate contracts. The AMI MDM forum is designed for electric, water, and/or gas utilities, regulators, utility governing boards, independent system operators and consumer advocacy groups to come together and discuss meter data management successes, problems, issues, interfaces and best practices. Corporate contracts are characterized by an annual contract for a pre-defined amount of market research hours.  Clients of this service receive access to Utilipoint’s directory and InfoGrid products. The primary service is the block of hours purchased.
 
The Company believes that the substance of BSAs, indicates that the purchaser pays for a service that is delivered over time.  As a result, revenue recognition occurs over the subscription period, or in the case of corporate contracts as the hours are utilized, reflecting the pattern of provision of service.
 
Time and Materials Contracts (“T&M”)
T&M are services billed at a set hourly rate.  Project related expenses are passed through at cost to clients.  Normally invoices occur on monthly basis. Utilipoint recognizes revenue as billed unless the project has a major deliverable(s) associated with it, in which case the revenue is deferred until the major deliverable(s) is provided.
 
Events and Sponsorships
The Company hosts events such as conferences.  These events include revenues from sponsorships and registration fees which are recognized in the month of the event.  Revenues from sponsors of the AMI MDM forum are recognized over the annual subscription period, reflecting the pattern of provision of service.

The Company’s deferred revenue consists primarily of amounts received from or billed to clients in conjunction with BSAs, T&M and fixed price contracts for which revenue is recognized over time or upon completion of contract deliverables.

(b)           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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include: allowances for doubtful accounts, stock compensation expense assumptions, certain revenue recognition methodologies related to contract deliverables, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, rates at which deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be recorded or settled, accruals for paid time off and the estimated labor utilization rate used to determine cost of services for the Company’s foreign subsidiary.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
 
(c)             Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on evaluation of customers’ ability to meet their financial obligations to the Company.  When evaluation indicates that the ability to pay is impaired, a specific allowance against amounts due is recorded thereby reducing the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. When management determines that receivables are not collectible, the gross receivable is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
(d)            Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful lives that typically range from three to ten years.  Equipment under capital leases is amortized over the lease term  which is typically three years and is removed from the Company’s accounting records upon lease termination.

(e)             Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities, revolving credit facility and debt approximate their fair values due to their short maturities and variable interest rate on the revolving credit facility and fixed rates which approximate market rates on notes payable.

(f)           Comprehensive Loss
 
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss or gains on foreign currency translations and net loss from operations and is presented in the consolidated statements of  deficit. This includes charges and credits to equity that are not the result of transactions with stockholders. Included in other comprehensive loss are the cumulative translation adjustments related to the net assets of the operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiary. These adjustments are accumulated within deficit under the caption “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss”.

(g)             Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provision of ASC 718-10 and ASC 505-50 “Stock Compensation and Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods.  In accordance with ASC 505-50, equity instruments issued to non-employees for services and goods are shares of our common stock or options to purchase shares of our common stock.  We expense the fair value of these securities over the period in which the related services are received.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based awards.  The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and certain other market variables such as the risk free interest rate.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
 
 
(h)             Income Taxes

The current or deferred tax consequences of all events that have been recognized in the financial statements are measured based on provisions of enacted tax law to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable in future periods. Effective with the July 2007 reorganization, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized into income during the period that includes the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that all, or some portion of, such deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10.   ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company does not believe it has any material unrecognized income tax positions.
 
When applicable, the Company's practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no accrual for interest or penalties recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction. The Company and its subsidiaries' federal income tax returns for tax years 2007 and beyond are open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Company and its subsidiaries also file income tax returns in various state jurisdictions, as appropriate, with varying statutes of limitation.
 
Utilipoint International, Inc. is a cash basis taxpayer.

(i)           Cost of Services

Cost of services represents direct job costs plus direct labor and related benefits and payroll taxes.   
 
(j)           Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has one reportable business segment which is operated in two geographic locations.
 
(k)            Non-controlling Interest
 
Non-controlling interest consists of the minority owned portion of the Company’s 60% owned subsidiary, the Intelligent Project LLC.

(l)           Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
 
The U.S. dollar is the reporting currency for all periods presented. The financial information for the Company outside the United States is measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities for the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the respective balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars based on the average rate of exchange for the corresponding period. Exchange rate differences resulting from translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and (losses) from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations under the line item selling, general and administrative expense. The foreign exchange (loss) gain was $(15,031) and $9,629 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Such foreign currency transactions include primarily billings denominated in foreign currencies by the Company’s U.S. subsidiary, which are reported based on the applicable exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date.

(m)           Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance on “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” updating ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” This standard provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of its adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition.” This guidance changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The amendments in this guidance are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of its adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
 
NOTE 3 – MERGER WITH CONSONUS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 
On February 28, 2011, the Company consummated  a merger, in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with Consonus Technologies, Inc. (“Consonus”) and MMGH Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Consonus and Consonus will become the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

The merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. In a merger transaction, the acquisition method requires the identification of the acquiring entity. Consonus has been identified as the acquiring entity, and Midas as the acquired entity for accounting purposes. Under acquisition accounting, the assets and liabilities of an acquired company (Midas) as of the effective time of the acquisition are recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of the acquiring company (Consonus). Financial statements issued for the periods after the consummation of an acquisition accounted for as a purchase would reflect such values and not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of the acquired company. The historical financial statements of the surviving corporation will be those of the accounting acquirer (Consonus) and comparative statements of the surviving corporation will be those of the accounting acquirer (Consonus) rather than the legal acquirer (Midas).

NOTE 4 - LIQUIDITY

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business and, accordingly, no adjustments have been made to recorded amounts that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2010 was $4,817,626, and we incurred  net losses of $2,554,964 and $1,582,108 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  On December 31, 2010, we had working capital deficit of $2,359,777. Historically, Utilipoint has funded its operations with cash obtained mainly from stockholders and third-party financings.

As discussed in Note 3, the Company consummated the merger with Consonus in February 2011. Based upon the consummation of the merger,  we anticipate that our cash  requirements for the next twelve months will be adequately funded.

NOTE 9 - DEFICIT

In accordance with the reverse merger on August 21, 2009 (refer to Note 1,  Description of Business and Basis of Presentation), an aggregate of 1,348,516 shares with a par value of $.001 of Midas Medici were issued to Utilipoint shareholders in exchange for 42,191 Utilipoint shares (which represented 100% of the then outstanding shares). This included 21,523 Utilipoint Series A Preferred Stock that were converted to 687,922 Midas Medici common shares. Further, all outstanding Utilipoint stock options at the time of the reverse merger were exchanged for 172,597 Midas Medici stock options in accordance with the Midas Medici stock option program, adopted on July 27, 2009. The shares of common stock issued in connection with the reverse merger were not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are considered to be restricted securities.
 
As a result of the reverse merger, all references to common stock, preferred stock, share and per share amounts were retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 31.96217203 shares of Midas Medici’s Common Stock for 1 share of all of the classes of the Utilipoint’s common stock and preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger as if the exchange had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

In February 2010, the Company completed a public offering totaling $1,280,000. The public offering included 256,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. Certain of our affiliates converted outstanding liabilities of $250,000 in the offering, pursuant to which they purchased shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $5.00, which constitute part of the 256,000 shares sold in the offering.
 
In December 2010, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock to a vendor for settlement of accounts payable owed to the vendor.
 
Preferred Stock Dividends - Prior to the merger transaction, Utilipoint had 21,523 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and was required to pay preferential cumulative dividends in cash to the holders. This obligation terminated when the Preferred Stock was converted into common stock as part of the merger transaction. Dividends associated with the Series A Preferred Stock were payable as follows:
 
·  
An annual dividend equal to 13% of the original purchase price, payable quarterly on October 31st, January 31st, April 30th and July 31st of each year commencing on October 31, 2007 (the “Quarterly Dividends”). This equated to $34,125 per quarter.
 
·  
Commencing on January 31, 2010, and continuing on the last day of each month thereafter until July 23, 2010, a dividend equal to the monthly payment that would be payable on the Original Purchase Price based on a 24-month amortization schedule using a 13% annual interest rate (the “Monthly Dividends”).  This equated to $49,919 per month.
 
·  
Upon the first to occur of the following: (i) a liquidation of the Company; (ii) a change in control of the Board of Directors of the Company; or (iii) the failure to convert the Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock by July 23, 2010, a dividend equal to the Original Purchase Price less any portion of the Monthly Dividends that would be allocable to principal if the Monthly Dividends were treated as loan payments (the “Balloon Dividend”).  This equated to an $812,382 Balloon Dividend.
  
Series A Preferred Stock dividends were cumulative so that, if the Company was unable to pay, or if the Board of Directors failed to declare Series A Preferred Stock dividend for any period, such Series A Preferred Stock dividends nevertheless accrued and were payable in subsequent periods.  Any payment of Series A Preferred Stock dividends by the Company in any period  first were to be applied to any accrued but unpaid Series A Preferred Stock dividends for prior periods, in chronological order, and then to dividends due for that period.

Stated Series A Preferred Stock dividends of $0 and $109,958 were declared in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company is in a negative retained earnings position and therefore the dividends were recorded as a reduction in the Additional Paid-in Capital.  The Company would not pay any of the Series A Preferred Stock dividends if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, the Company was not able to meet its debt obligations or growth initiatives.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, dividends declared but not paid totaled $0 and $109,958, respectively. As of the conversion date, which is the same as the acquisition date, August 21, 2009 and December 31, 2010, $42,187 of stated Series A Preferred Stock dividends had been paid to the preferred shareholders by Knox Lawrence on behalf of Utilipoint. Refer to Note 14, Related Party Transactions - Utilipoint Preferred Dividends.
 
The discount resulting from the increasing rate feature of the Series A Preferred Stock dividend represented an unstated dividend cost that was being amortized over the three year period preceding payment of the Balloon Dividend using the effective interest method, by charging the imputed dividend cost against Additional Paid-in Capital.  The total stated dividends, whether or not declared, and unstated dividend cost combined represented a period’s total preferred stock dividend, which was deducted from net income (loss) to arrive at net loss available to common shareholders.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement with Utilipoint, the 21,523 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted to 687,922 Midas Medici common shares (refer to Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation).
  
Common Stock Put Options - In conjunction with the July 2007 stock purchase and reorganization, the Company issued a total of 191,390 Common Stock put options to two management stockholders. These agreements gave the management stockholders the right and the option, but not obligation, to sell all of their common shares to the Company through December 31, 2010.  The agreements defined the purchase price of the put based on original purchase price if calendar year 2007 EBITDA exceeded $520,000 or, if the management shareholder was still employed by the Company at December 31, 2009, based on the lesser of the original purchase price or fair market value (“FMV”) as determined by an independent valuation expert.  If the shareholders exercise their options at different times, the FMV first determined would apply to both shareholders.
 
The Common Stock put options were not exercisable at December 31, 2007 based on 2007 EBITDA.  Both shareholders continued to be employed by the Company at December 31, 2008.  Management estimated the FMV as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 to be the value of the most recent per share purchase price; which was higher than the original purchase price.  Due to the absence of quoted FMV and significant third-party transactions, this estimate was subject to change should better inputs become available.

Cancellation of Common Stock Put Options - On July 26, 2009, per renewal terms of one executive’s employment agreement and on August 1, 2009 per terms of the separation agreement of a different executive, all common stock put options were cancelled.
 
Common Stock Dividends
 
The Company may declare dividends on the common stock. There has been no common stock dividends declared as of December 31, 2010.

The fair value of each warrant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, which incorporates a number of valuation assumptions noted in the following table, shown at their weighted-average values:

Expected dividend yield
   
0
%
Risk-free rate
   
1.47
%
Expected stock price volatility
   
94.02
%
Expected term (years)
   
5.0
 

The expected volatility is calculated by using the average historical volatility of companies that management believes are representative of Midas Medici’s business and market capitalization.

The expected option  represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method provided in ASC Topic 718, which averages an award’s weighted-average vesting period and expected term for share options. The Company will continue to use the simplified method until it has the historical data necessary to provide a reasonable estimate of expected life in accordance with ASC Topic 718, as amended by SAB 110. For the expected option term, the Company used a simple average of the vesting period and the contractual term for options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 as permitted by ASC Topic 718.

For equity awards to non-employees, the Company also applies the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of such instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The options granted to non-employees are re-measured as they vest and the resulting value is recognized as an adjustment against the Company’s net loss over the period during which the services are received.

The total value of the stock options and warrants is expensed ratably over the vesting period of the option. As of December 31, 2010, all compensation cost related to stock options and warrants  was recognized as expense.

Stock-based compensation in the amount of $302,139 and $301,457 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 NOTE 11 - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

In August 2009, Utilipoint's Series A preferred Shares were converted into 687,922 shares of common stock as part of the merger transaction. Prior to the conversion, the Preferred Shares were not included in the basic or diluted net loss per share since the Company included the impact of the preferred dividends and discount accretion as adjustments to arrive at the net loss applicable to common stockholders during the years ended December 31, 2009.  After the conversion date, which was the same as the date of the merger, those shares were included in the basic and diluted net loss per share. The written put options issued July 23, 2007 for the purchase of 191,390 shares of Common Stock and any other outstanding options were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the net loss applicable to common stockholders.

Stockholder Agreements

The Company had entered into stockholder agreements with its minority stockholders, some of whom are key managers of the Company.  These agreements provided the Company the first right to purchase each stockholder’s shares in the event of a bona fide offer from any persons to purchase shares from the stockholder.  The Company had the right to purchase such shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in any such purchase agreement within sixty days following the Company’s receipt of the notice to purchase.   The agreements contained restrictions on transfer of stock to third parties and clauses on the Company’s right to repurchase terminated shareholders shares for a price equal to the net book value of the shares at the time of termination of employment.  The agreements terminated in conjunction with the merger transaction with Utilipoint.

(e)  
Employment Agreements

Effective July 16, 2009, we entered into employment agreements with two key executive officers which agreements contain the same terms and provisions. The agreements provide for an initial term of five years which shall be automatically extended for successive one year periods unless terminated.

The employment agreements provide for an annual base salary of $125,000 which shall be increased as follows: (i) to $200,000 on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the agreements or the Company publicly reports consolidated annual gross revenues of at least $10,000,000, (ii) to $250,000 on the earlier to occur of the second anniversary of the agreements or the Company publicly reports consolidated annual gross revenues of at least $35,000,000, (iii) to $350,000  on the earlier to occur of the third anniversary of the agreements or the Company publicly reports consolidated annual gross revenues of at least $100,000,000.  In addition, the executives will each be entitled to an annual bonus targeted between 150% to 250% of the base salary during the first 3 years of the term of the Agreements and thereafter, at a target to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.
 
In the event of the executives’ death while employed by the Company, the agreements shall automatically terminate and any unvested equity compensation shall vest immediately and any vested warrants may be exercised on the earlier of the warrant’s expiration or 18 months after the death. In the event of the executives' death or if the agreement is terminated due to a disability or for cause (as defined in the agreements), any unpaid compensation, prorata bonus or bonus options earned and any amounts owed to the executives shall be paid by us. In addition, if the agreements are terminated due to the disability of the executive, any unvested equity compensation shall vest immediately and any vested warrants may be exercised on the earlier of the warrant’s expiration or 18 months after such termination. In the event the executive’s employment is terminated without cause, the executives shall be entitled to receive, in a lump sum payment, the base salary, the maximum bonus and options that would have been paid to the executives if the agreements had not been terminated or for 12 months, whichever is greater. In addition, any unpaid compensation, pro rata bonus or bonus options earned and any amounts owed to the executives shall be paid by us and any unvested equity compensation shall vest immediately and any vested warrants may be exercised on the earlier of the warrant’s expiration or 18 months after the termination. In the event of the executives’ resignation without good reason (as defined in the agreement), or retirement, the executives shall be entitled to receive any unpaid compensation, pro rata bonus or bonus options earned and any amounts owed to the executives.
 
As a method to retain senior management in the event of a change of control, the agreements also provide that upon the closing of a transaction that constitutes a “liquidity event”, as such term is defined in the agreements, each executive shall be entitled to receive a transaction bonus equal to 2.99 times his then current base salary, provided that he remains employed with the Company on the closing of such liquidity event, unless his employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason. Liquidity events include any consolidation or merger, acquisition of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company, or any sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
The agreements also contain standard non-solicitation, non-competition and indemnification clauses.

On April 30, 2010, we entered into amendments to the agreements The Amendments amend the Bonus Payment  provisions of the agreements to provide for a targeted bonus payment in a range from 0% to 250% of Base Salary, assuming the executives  meet performance goals set by the Board of Directors, on a year to year basis , instead of a target bonus range of 150% to 250% and removes the requirement that the target bonus after the third year of the employment term  shall be no less that the target bonus for the third year of the employment term. The Amendments also amend the Resignation for Good Reason provisions of the agreements to clarify that good reason shall, include a change in the executives’ Base Salary, as defined in the employment agreements, to be received by the executives for any full 12 months to less than 100% of the Base Salary, as defined in the employment agreements, during the comparable period.

NOTE 14 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Business Combination Under Common Control

 In July 2009, Utilipoint acquired a controlling interest in The Intelligent Project, LLC (“IP”). The acquisition was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control.  

IP was founded on March 10, 2009, by KLI IP Holding, Inc. and David Steele, the current president of Utilipoint and former President of a predecessor Knox Lawrence International, LLC (“KLI”) portfolio company.  Nana Baffour, our CEO, was the managing member of IP prior to the acquisition.  IP’s management committee consisted of Nana Baffour, Johnson Kachidza, David Steele and Ken Globerman, a KLI employee. Prior to the acquisition, David Steele, a managing director of IP was also a senior managing director of Utilipoint.  From inception to when IP was acquired, its operations were funded through loans provided by KLI. Prior to its acquisition, IP was controlled by KLI IP Holding Inc., which held a 75% interest in IP.  KLI IP Holding, Inc. is controlled by Nana Baffour and Johnson Kachidza, who held a 60% interest.
 
In connection with the acquisition of IP:
 
1)
Utilipoint entered into a capital commitment agreement with IP for an amount of up to $200,000.  IP will be able to make capital requests on the capital commitment agreement for initial financing.  Utilipoint received a  60% interest in IP as a result of signing the capital contribution agreement. As of December 31, 2010, Utilipoint had provided no capital under the capital commitment agreement.
 
2)       
The existing members of IP will provide services to Utilipoint in exchange for options to purchase an aggregate of 44,747 shares of the common stock of the Company that are fully-vested on the date of grant and that have a strike price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  The stock options for the individuals will be granted pursuant to the equity compensation plan that was adopted by the Company effective as of May 1, 2009.  All of the stock options will have a term of five years and a cashless exercise option. The Consulting Agreement provides that KLI IP Holding Inc. will provide consulting services to the Company in connection with the joint business and marketing efforts of the Company and IP.  In exchange for its services KLI IP Holding Inc. received Company stock options.
 
The Stock Options Agreement provides that, in consideration of the services being provided to the Company by IP and KLI IP Holding Inc., the Company shall issue stock options in such amounts as set forth below.  The stock options will be fully-vested upon issuance and will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company Common Stock on the grant date ($1.56).  The stock options will have a term of five years and a cashless exercise option.

Utilipoint Preferred Dividends
 
The net assets of Utilipoint acquired by the Company on August 21, 2009 included preferred dividends payable to KLI. KLI assumed the obligation to pay the preferred dividends to UTP International, LLC (“UTPI”) on Utilipoint’s behalf as per the former Utilipoint preferred shareholders’ agreement. Utilipoint’s obligation for preferred dividends therefore became an obligation to KLI. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, outstanding dividends payable due to KLI totaled $42,187 and $178,208, respectively.

Expense Reimbursement Agreement
 
On August 7, 2009, the Company entered into an expense reimbursement agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) with KLI. Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, KLI is authorized to incur up to $350,000 in certain expenses and obligations on behalf of the Company and the Company agreed to reimburse KLI for such expenses and obligations promptly after delivery of invoices for such expenses. The Reimbursement Agreement has a term of one year, subject to earlier termination upon 30 days’ written notice by either party. KLI also allocates expenses for rent and office services to the Company.  The agreement has been renewed and extended for another year.

Incurred and allocated expenses related to office rent, office services and professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $685,220 for which the Company reimbursed KLI $332,361. The balance of $685,220 at December 31, 2010 is a component of "Accrued Expenses" on the consolidated balance sheet. The expenses are a component of “Selling, general and administrative” operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES (cont’d)
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their basis for financial reporting purposes.  Temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate in part to accrual-to-cash adjustments, as the Company follows the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting but the cash basis for tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets arise from net operating losses, and from temporary differences in depreciation and amortization and from equipment leases capitalized on the financial statements but treated as operating leases for tax purposes.  

A deferred tax liability arises from the net income of a wholly owned foreign corporation (Utilipoint s.r.o.), which becomes taxable in the United States upon repatriation of the funds.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities were calculated using the graduated rates anticipated in the years tax assets and liabilities are anticipated to reverse.  The reversal of timing differences requires significant estimation; accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities may reverse at tax rates significantly different than anticipated.
 
As a result of net losses incurred and because the likelihood of being able to utilize these losses is not presently determinable, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to fully reserve its deferred tax asset.  If in the future the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment would increase income in such period or, if such determination were made in connection with an acquisition, an adjustment would be made in conjunction with the allocation of the purchase price.
 
At December 31, 2010 and 2009 the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were:

For income tax reporting purposes, the Company's aggregate unused net operating losses of approximately $3.3 million will expire through 2030, subject to limitations of Section 382 ("Section 382") of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Due to the uncertainty of its ability to utilize the deferred tax assets relating to the loss carry forwards and other temporary differences between tax and financial reporting purposes, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to the related deferred tax assets. 
 
As a result of the merger (see Note 17), the unused net operating losses may be further limited under Section 382. The Company is currently evaluating this and is unable to determine the impact, if any at present, as such the deferred tax asset and its related valuation allowance may change in the future.

NOTE 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On February 28, 2011, the Company consummated  a merger, in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with Consonus Technologies, Inc. (“Consonus”) and MMGH Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Consonus and Consonus will become the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of the merger, the unused net operating losses (discussed in Note 15) may be further limited under Section 382. The Company is currently evaluating this and is unable to determine the impact, if any at present, as such the deferred tax asset and its related valuation allowance may change in the future.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on that evaluation and due to the lack of segregation of duties and our recent restatement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
With the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.  We intend to retain additional personnel to remediate these control deficiencies in the future.

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permanently exempts smaller reporting companies.
 
Changes in Internal Controls

During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Board Independence

Justin Beckett, Hank Torbert and Andre Brosseau are “independent” as such term is defined under and required by the federal securities laws and the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to partially combine these roles.  Mr. Baffour and Mr. Kachidza have served as our Co-Executive Chairman since July 2009. Due to the small size and early stage of the Company, we believe it is currently most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions partially combined.

Our Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of our board of directors.  The Audit Committee receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. In addition, the Audit Committee reports regularly to the full Board of Directors, which also considers our risk profile. The Audit Committee and the full Board of Directors focus on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensure that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with any exchange on which the Company's securities are traded. Officers, directors and persons owning more than ten percent of such securities are required by Commission regulation to file with the Commission and furnish the Company with copies of all reports required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Kachidza was appointed Secretary. Subsequently, on May 30, 2009, Mr. Kachiciza was appointed as a Director.

III.      On January 15, 2009, Utilipoint issued a Senior Subordinated Debenture to Knox Lawrence International, LLC in the principal amount of $10,000.

V.       On July 1, 2009, in connection with Utilipoint's acquisition of its 60% owned subsidiary, The Intelligent Project, LLC ("IP"), Utilipoint entered into the following agreements:

(A)     a Capital Commitment Agreement (the "Capital Agreement") pursuant to which Utilipoint committed to contribute up to $200,000 to IP, as may be requested by IP, but in no event not in excess of $25,000 in any single request. The parties contemplate that the capital contributions under the Capital Agreement may be satisfied by capital contributions which KLI intends to make to Utilipoint in the amount of $200,000 and therefore any failure by Utilipoint to make a capital contribution to IP because it has not received sufficient funds from KLI will not constitute a default under the Capital Agreement. 

(B)      a Management Services Agreement with IP pursuant to which Utilipoint will provide management services and provide consultants to assist IP with IP projects. The services will include, but are not limited to: (i) assisting in the preparation of annual budgets, (ii) providing sales, marketing and strategic services, (iii) assisting IP with complying with reporting requirements under any financing agreements, (iv) providing legal, human resources, loss prevention and risk management services; (v) providing receivables collection services, cash management services and payroll services, (vi) any other service performed or expenses incurred by UtiliPoint for IP in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Management Service agreement, Utilipoint is authorized to make payments to creditors of IP on its behalf and to collect receivables on behalf of IP; provided Utilipoint has assurance that the necessary funds for discharge of any liability or obligation will be provided by IP.

Management services will be charged to IP based on the actual expenses incurred by Utilipoint, and consultants will be charged at the same rate that Utilipoint charges to subcontract its consultants to third parties.

Utilipoint will also pay all salaries and benefits for certain employees of IP who will also provide services to Utilipoint, which will initially include David Steele (a former president of Utilipoint) and Peter Shaw (a former managing director of IP). The Management Services Agreement has a two-year term, and, thereafter, automatically renews for one-year terms. It may be cancelled by either party on 60 days prior written notice.

 (C)      an Agreement to be Bound to the Limited Liability Agreement of IP. The IP LLC Agreement provides that Net Cash Flow will be distributed as follows: first, contributed capital will be returned to the members on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of capital contributed), and, thereafter, Net Cash Flow will be distributed to the members on a percentage ownership basis. Utilipoint's percentage ownership immediately after the execution of the agreement by Utilipoint will be 60%.

The Limited Liability Company Agreement also provides that IP will be managed by a Management Committee, who, after the Utilipoint transaction, initially, will be: Nana Baffour, Johnson Kachidza, Ken Globerman and David Steele. The Members have no power or authority to manage the affairs of the company.

The Limited Liability Company Agreement further provides for restrictions on the transfer of Company Interests (only to Permitted Transferees) and provides that the Members holding a majority of the Company Interests may drag-along the minority members in the event of a Sale of the Company.

(D)     a Consulting Agreement which provides that KLI IP Holding Inc. will provide consulting services to Utilipoint in connection with the joint business and marketing efforts of Utilipoint and IP. The agreement has a term of 24 months and may be terminated by either party upon 90 days advance written notice. In exchange for its services KLI IP Holding, Inc. will receive an option to purchase 850 shares of common stock of Utilipoint, which options were converted at the closing of the Utilipoint Acquisition into options to purchase 27,168 shares of common stock of Midas Medici, at an exercise price of $1.56 per share. The options are exercisable for a term of 5 years through August 21, 2014 and are fully vested. If KLI IP Holding, Inc. terminates the agreement without cause within its first year, any unexercised options held KLI IP Holding, Inc. will terminate.

(E)      a Revolving Senior Subordinated Debenture which provides that KLI may loan up to $100,000 to Utilipoint. The debenture has a term of 5 years and pays interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Accrued interest and unpaid interest is payable monthly (the parties can agree to mutually defer interest payments), and the unpaid principal amount is due on the five-year anniversary of the debenture. The debenture is subordinate to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Utilipoint to any financial institution.
 
(F)      a subscription agreement pursuant to which KLI agreed to purchase up to $100,000 of the common stock of the Company at a per share purchase price of $50.00 per share for a period of up 2 months through September 1, 2009. KLI did not purchase any shares under the subscription agreement.

VI.      On July 29, 2009, Midas Medici entered into return to treasury agreements with its stockholders at that time, Nana Baffour, Johnson Kachidza, Frank Asante-Kissi and B.N. Bahadur, resulting in the return to treasury of an aggregate of 425,000 shares of the Midas Medici's common stock which resulted in the reduction of the Midas Medici 's issued and outstanding shares from 1,305,000 to 880,000. The return of shares to treasury was done in proportion to each stockholder's ownership interest in Midas Medici with no resulting change in their percentage ownership of each stockholder.
 
VII.    On August 21, 2009, Midas Medici completed a reverse merger transaction with Utilipoint, which resulted in Midas Medici being the "legal acquirer" and Utilipoint the "accounting acquirer".

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Under the procedure, the Board approves the engagement letter with respect to audit, tax and review services. Other fees are subject to pre-approval by the Board, or, in the period between meetings, by a designated member of Board. Any such approval by the designated member is disclosed to the entire Board at the next meeting. The audit and tax fees paid to the auditors with respect to fiscal year 2010 were pre-approved by the entire Board of Directors.
