1.  Nature of Operations
 
GlobalOptions Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “GlobalOptions Group”) was a holding company operating to provide risk mitigation and management services.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company sold its operating businesses. The Company sold its SafirRosetti business unit (“SafirRosetti”) on April 30, 2010, its Preparedness Services business unit (“Preparedness Services”) on July 16, 2010, its Fraud and SIU Services business unit (“Fraud and SIU Services”) on July 20, 2010, and its Forensic DNA Solutions and Products business unit (“Bode”) on November 30, 2010 and closed its International Strategies business unit (“International Strategies”) on December 31, 2010.  As a result of the sales of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode and the closure of International Strategies, the results and accounts of these business units are shown as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements.

As of June 30, 2011, continuing operations consist solely of executive and general corporate operations.  These executive and general corporate operations include services provided by the Company in support of the business units sold and include (i) cash and treasury management, information technology, employee benefits, general insurance and general transition services, and (ii) marketing and business development support that is intended to help drive sales revenues of the business units sold.   In addition, executive and general corporate operations include the monitoring and managing of the Company’s receipt of notes receivable, working capital adjustments, escrowed purchase price amounts and earnouts, the efforts of which the Company expects will extend through approximately August 2012.

The Company has determined that it became a “shell company” as defined in Rule 126-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

2.  Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included.  The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of this Form 10-Q.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2011.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Restricted Cash Equivalents

“Restricted cash equivalents – deferred compensation” includes cash and money market funds held in a rabbi trust under a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement (the “Deferred Compensation Arrangement”) established in connection with compensation earned by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer upon the sale of Preparedness Services.  Each plan participant’s account is comprised of the Company’s contribution to the trust on behalf of the participant (See Note 6 – Deferred Compensation).  The restricted cash held in the rabbi trust is considered an asset available for sale and is reported at fair value with an offsetting liability included in deferred compensation in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The earnings on the investments are recorded in interest income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.   Earnings on these investments were $1 and $1 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.  The fair value of the investment of the Deferred Compensation Arrangement was $2,507 and $2,506 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Fair Value Measurements
 
            Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 
 
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
   
 
 
Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
   
 
 
Level 3. Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
                Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques identified in the tables below. The valuation techniques are as follows:

 
 
(a)
 
Market approach. Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities;
 
 
 
(b)
 
Cost approach. Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost); and
 
 
 
(c)
 
Income approach. Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).
 
           Assets (Liabilities) Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of the underlying assets and liabilities. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it determines that it is more likely than not that the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.

Discontinued Operations

Included in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax provision” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, are the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, as applicable, for SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services, International Strategies and Bode and the respective gain (loss) on their disposals.  Income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 consists of interest earned on notes receivable from the sale of SafirRosetti and the gain recorded on the disposal of these business units.  Assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been reclassified and are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011 as “Current assets of Discontinued Operations” and “Current liabilities of discontinued operations”, respectively.
 
For comparative purposes, all prior periods presented have been reclassified to reflect the classifications on a consistent basis.

Net Loss per Common Share
 
Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, as adjusted, during the periods presented. Common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  The basic weighted average number of shares was reduced for non-vested restricted stock awards. Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Pursuant to that certain stock purchase agreement dated August 11, 2010 (“Bode Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, Bode and LSR Acquisition Corp. (which following a corporate reorganization, became SolutionPoint), which closed on November 30, 2010, SolutionPoint agreed to pay the Company the amount by which the working capital of Bode at closing exceeded $5,600, and the Company agreed to pay SolutionPoint the amount by which the working capital of Bode at closing was less than $5,600, provided that in either case no such payment will be required unless it was in excess of $150.  Accordingly, the Company and SolutionPoint determined that the working capital adjustment amount would be $2,286, which was remitted to the Company on July 28, 2011.  This amount is reflected in Amounts Due From Buyer Related to the Sales of Business Units, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011.  In connection with finalizing the amount of the Bode working capital adjustment, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a positive adjustment of $324 and $324, respectively, to the gain on the sale of Bode.   This adjustment of the gain on the sale of Bode included  $230 for the release of a reserve which was no longer required related to the Bode working capital adjustment. The Company had also agreed to pay SolutionPoint a “true-up” of up to $1,000, based on accounts receivable that remain uncollected 180 days after the closing and SolutionPoint had agreed to transfer to the Company all rights with respect to such uncollected receivables after SolutionPoint’s receipt of such “true-up” payment.  On June 27, 2011, the Company and SolutionPoint determined that no “true-up” payment to SolutionPoint would be required.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(Amounts contained in this Item 2 are in thousands, except share and per share amounts).

The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

Information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words ”may,” “should,” ”expect,” ”anticipate,” ”estimate,” ”believe,” “intend” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these or comparable terminology.
 
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 15, 2011.  Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report.  Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
 
Overview
 
GlobalOptions Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “we”, “us”, the “Company” or “GlobalOptions Group”) was an integrated provider of risk mitigation and management services.   
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold or closed all of our operating businesses. We completed the sale of our SafirRosetti business unit (“SafirRosetti”) on April 30, 2010, our Preparedness Services business unit (“Preparedness Services”) on July 16, 2010, our Fraud and SIU Services business unit (“Fraud and SIU Services”) on July 20, 2010, our subsidiary, The Bode Technology Group, Inc. which represented our Forensic DNA Solutions and Products Services business unit (“Bode”) on November 30, 2010 and on December 31, 2010, we closed our International Strategies business unit (“International Strategies”).
 
As a result of our sales of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode and the closure of International Strategies, the results and accounts of these business units are shown as discontinued operations in our financial statements. As of June 30, 2011, continuing operations consist solely of executive and general corporate operations.  These executive and general corporate operations include services provided by us in support of the business units sold, consisting principally of cash and treasury management and information technology.   In addition, executive and general corporate operations include the monitoring and managing of our receipt of working capital adjustments, escrowed purchase price amounts and earnouts, the efforts of which we expect will extend through approximately August 2012.

We have determined that we are a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

NASDAQ Delisting
 
On January 18, 2011, the staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) delivered a determination letter (the “Determination Letter”) to us indicating its belief that we no longer met NASDAQ’s listing standards on the grounds that we were not in compliance with Listing Rule 5101 and may be a “public shell” with no operating business following the sale of Bode and the closing of International Strategies, in addition to the prior sales of our other operating businesses.  We appealed NASDAQ’s determination on February 24, 2011.  On February 28, 2011, we received a letter from the NASDAQ Hearings Panel indicating that it had affirmed the finding in the Determination Letter and that our common stock would be delisted as of the opening of business on March 2, 2011.
 
Our common stock was delisted from NASDAQ on March 2, 2011.  From March 2, 2011 to March 21, 2011, our common stock was quoted under the symbol “GLOI.PK”, and since March 22, 2011 has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “GLOI.OB”.

Return of Proceeds to Stockholders
 
We currently intend to return the net proceeds from the sales of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode to our stockholders, after satisfying existing contractual obligations and establishing appropriate reserves for contingencies and ongoing operating costs.

In connection with this intention, on December 1, 2010, we commenced a partial tender offer to purchase for cash up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.40 per share. The tender offer closed on December 29, 2010, after which we purchased a total of 1,119,978 shares at a cost of $2,688. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2010, just prior to the aforementioned tender offer, we repurchased in the open market 16,627 shares of our common stock at a cost of $39.  On February 7, 2011, our board of directors (the “Board”) approved a new program to repurchase up to $3,000 of our common stock over a period of 18 months, at such times, amounts and prices as we deemed appropriate.  This repurchase program ended on April 27, 2011, when we announced our 2011 partial tender offer.  Through April 27, 2011, we made no stock repurchases under this program.
 
On April 27, 2011 we commenced a partial tender offer to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.60 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest.  This tender offer expired on May 25, 2011.  In connection with this partial tender offer, we purchased and canceled 7,500,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $19,650, including $152 of expenses in connection with the tender, offset by $2 in proceeds from the sale of common stock, by a major stock holder, representing the disgorgement of a short swing profit on its sale of our common stock.
 
On July 21, 2011, our Board approved a new program to repurchase shares of our common stock. The repurchase program has not, and will not be established until such time as we are permitted to repurchase shares under our insider trading policy.
 
There remain a total of 6,203,379 shares of common stock outstanding on August 2, 2011.

We have not made a final decision as to, and continue to explore the timing for, most efficient form of, further distributions and any alternative uses of the net proceeds from the sales of our four business units in the event that we determine not to further distribute these remaining proceeds to our stockholders.  There is no guaranty that we will make any further distributions.  In the event that we decide to retain the remaining proceeds from such sales, we may pursue a business combination or other type of corporate transaction.  We currently do not have any arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a business combination with a specific entity or within any specific industry and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating or in concluding any such business combination.
 
Corporate Developments

Receipt of Additional Proceeds from Sale of SafirRosetti

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, in connection with the sale of SafirRosetti, we realized $80 and $453 respectively, in contingent sales proceeds.  This amount was reflected as gain on sale in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.  On June 30, 2011, 2011, we received $875 in satisfaction of the note receivable from the buyer of SafirRosetti.  On July 25, 2011, the buyer of SafirRosetti agreed to pay us $89 in consideration for its retaining all rights associated with the sold accounts receivable which remained uncollected at June 30, 2011.
 
Receipt of Additional Proceeds from Sale of Preparedness Services
 
On January 14, 2011, we received $1,652, which was recorded as a reduction in amounts due from buyer related to the sales of business units, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. On May 26, 2011, we received $67 from the realization of a working capital item in connection with the sale of Preparedness Services, which was reflected as a gain on sale in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.  On July 26, 2011, we received $1,000 from the purchasers of Preparedness Services in connection with the full release of escrow funds.

Estimate of Working Capital Adjustment – The Sale of Bode

Pursuant to that certain stock purchase agreement dated August 11, 2010 (“Bode Purchase Agreement”) by and among us, Bode and LSR Acquisition Corp. (which following a corporate reorganization, became SolutionPoint), which closed on November 30, 2010, SolutionPoint has agreed to pay the us the amount by which the working capital of Bode at closing exceeded $5,600, and we have agreed to pay SolutionPoint the amount by which the working capital of Bode at closing is less than $5,600, provided that in either case no such payment will be required unless it is in excess of $150.  Accordingly, we and SolutionPoint determined that the working capital adjustment amount would be $2,286 which we received on July 28, 2011.  This amount is reflected in Amounts Due From Buyer Related to the Sales of Business Units, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011.  In connection with finalizing the amount of the Bode working capital adjustment, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a positive adjustment of $324 to the gain on the sale of Bode.  This adjustment to the gain on the sale of Bode included $230 for the release of a reserve which was no longer required related to the Bode working capital adjustment. We had also agreed to pay SolutionPoint a “true-up” of up to $1,000, based on accounts receivable that remained uncollected 180 days after the closing and SolutionPoint had agreed to transfer to us all rights with respect to such uncollected receivables after SolutionPoint’s receipt of such “true-up” payment.  On June 27, 2011, we and SolutionPoint determined that no “true-up” payment to SolutionPoint would be required.

In connection with the Bode Purchase Agreement, we entered into a transition service agreement pursuant to which we provided Bode with certain specified transition services following the closing, including but not limited to certain information technology services.  In connection with this agreement, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded fees of $0 and $86, which were recorded as an offset to general and administrative expenses.  The transition services agreement terminated on March 31, 2011.

Deferred Compensation Distribution to Executive

We have established a Deferred Compensation Arrangement for the benefit of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer.  The deferred compensation is held in a separate trust account, established by us to administer the Deferred Compensation Arrangement.  The trust qualifies as a grantor trust for income tax purposes (known as a “rabbi trust”).    On July 6, 2011, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, we distributed $1,685 from the separate trust account to our Chief Executive Officer.

Results of Operations
 
Continuing Operations
 
As of June 30, 2011, continuing operations consist solely of executive and general corporate operations.  These executive and general corporate operations include services provided by us in support of the business units sold, consisting principally of cash and treasury management and information technology.   In addition, executive and general corporate operations include the monitoring and managing of our receipt of working capital adjustments, escrowed purchase price amounts and earnouts, the efforts of which we expect will extend through approximately August 2012.
 
As of March 31, 2011, we were no longer a party to any transition services agreements and ceased providing transition services.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Our selling and marketing expenses primarily included salaries, stock based compensation, as well as travel and other expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation, as well as corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations, human resources, facilities, telecommunication support services and information technology.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
As a result of our sales of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode and the closure of International Strategies, the results and accounts of these business units are now presented in our financial statements as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and all prior periods.  As of June 30, 2011, continuing operations consist solely of our executive and general corporate operations.

GlobalOptions Group Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Operating Expenses
 
Selling and marketing expenses were $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $519 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was due to the discontinuation of selling efforts, since we have sold our operating units.  General and administrative expenses were $677 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $3,407 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to decreases in payroll and stock based compensation costs and decreases in professional fees as well as the decrease in depreciation expense, all on account of scaling back the corporate functions after the sales of the business units.
 
Results of Discontinued Operations

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $494 and ($4,017) for the three months ended June 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  This improvement of $4,511 was primarily due to an impairment loss and the loss on the sale of SafirRosetti recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2010, along with losses incurred for discontinued operations, net, of $2,087, during the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to a gain on sale of $479 recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
 
Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $176 and $8,062, respectively.  Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was comprised of a loss from continuing operations of $670 and income from discontinued operations, of $494.  Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was comprised of a loss from continuing operations of $4,045 and loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $4,017.  The decrease in net loss is principally the result of the decrease in operating expenses as described above.
 
GlobalOptions Group Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
Operating Expenses
 
Selling and marketing expenses were $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was due to the discontinuation of selling efforts, since we have sold our operating units.  General and administrative expenses were $1,665 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $6,051 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to decreases in payroll, stock based compensation costs, professional fees and depreciation expense, all on account of scaling back the corporate functions after the sales of the business units.
 
Results of Discontinued Operations

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $875 and $(2,318) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The increase of $3,193 was primarily due to an impairment loss and the loss on the sale of SafirRosetti recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $1,930, along with losses incurred for discontinued operations, net, of $388, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to a gain on sale of $852 recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $781 and $9,755, respectively.  Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was comprised of a loss from continuing operations of $1,656 offset by income from discontinued operations, of $875.  Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was comprised of a loss from continuing operations of $7,437 and a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $2,318.  The decrease in net loss was principally the result of the decrease in operating expenses and loss on the sale of business units during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to gains from contingent proceeds recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
 
We had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $6,083 as of June 30, 2011.
 
Cash used in operating activities was approximately $4,031 and $2,715 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted primarily from our net loss of $781, our use in operating activities related to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,389, and the gain on the sale of business units of $852.
 
Cash provided by investing activities was $3,054 and $1,201 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011 principally consisted of $875 in proceeds from the note receivable, and $2,180 in proceeds from the sales of the business units.  The $2,180 in proceeds from the sales of the business units principally consisted of $1,719 related to working capital adjustments received in connection with the sale of Preparedness Services and $453 representing the additional contingent consideration received in connection with the sale of SafirRosetti.
 
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(19,066) and $2,121 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 relates primarily to the consummation of our 2011 tender offer in which we repurchased 7,500,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $19,650, offset by  proceeds of  $584 from the exercise of stock options.
 
On July 6, 2011, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, we distributed $1,685 from the separate trust account to our Chief Executive Officer.
 
At June 30, 2011, we had working capital of $9,883.

Subject to our satisfaction of and compliance with existing contractual obligations and the establishment of appropriate reserves, we currently intend to distribute the remaining net proceeds from the sales of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode to our stockholders.  We returned $2,688 to our stockholders in connection with a tender of 1,119,978 shares of our common stock in connection with our 2010 tender offer, which concluded in December 2010.  We returned $19,500 to our stockholders in connection with a tender offer of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock in connection with our 2011 tender offer which concluded on May 25, 2011.  Due to the risk inherent in the possible future receipt of earnouts and amounts to be released from escrow, there is no guarantee that we will make additional distributions.  In the event that we decide to retain the remaining proceeds from such sales, we may pursue a business combination or other type of corporate transaction.  We currently do not have any arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a business combination with a specific entity or within any specific industry and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating or in concluding any such business combination.

We also note that these distribution amounts are net of our current estimates of the amounts needed for required reserves,  for contingencies and for financial and operating costs, but do not consider the effects of tax or other reserves which we may later conclude are necessary.

We believe that the cash generated by the sales of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode, the cash that we expect to receive from the release of escrow amounts and the earnouts, less any distributions to our stockholders, will be sufficient to finance our operations through December 31, 2011.

In addition to the fixed portion of the purchase price for SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode, each agreement provides for contingent proceeds in the form of earnouts and/or the return of an escrow deposit. The minimum and maximum aggregate contingent proceeds that may be realized as of July 29, 2011 from the sales of SafirRosetti, Fraud and SIU Services, Preparedness Services, and Bode are reflected in the table below.  The earnout amounts included in the table below have not yet been recognized and are not reflected on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2011.

 The minimum amount in connection with the sale of SafirRosetti includes $1,157 of contingent consideration that was realized and recognized through June 30, 2011.  On July 26, 2011, we received the entire $1,000 escrow amount from the purchasers of Preparedness Services. There is no assurance that any of these contingent proceeds in excess of amounts already received will be realized.  No claims were made against the $825 held in escrow related to the sale of Fraud and SIU Services through the eligible claim period, which expired on July 19, 2011.  Accordingly, in each case the future minimum amount is $0. Neither the maximum nor the minimum amounts represent management’s expectation of the amount of contingent proceeds to be realized.  
 
If we receive the contingent proceeds discussed above, we intend to distribute them to stockholders, less deductions comparable to those described above with respect to the distribution of the other proceeds of the transactions.  However, we have not made a final decision as to, and continue to explore the most efficient form of, any such distribution and any alternative uses of the net proceeds from the sales of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode in the event that we determine not to further distribute these proceeds to our stockholders.  There is no guaranty that we will make any further distributions.  In the event that we decide to retain the remaining proceeds from such sales, we may pursue a business combination or other type of corporate transaction.  We currently do not have any arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a business combination with a specific entity or within any specific industry and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating or in concluding any such business combination.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our significant accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are more fully described in our “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Some of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and, as a result, they are subject to a greater degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in calculating estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We have identified certain accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations and which require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies include the following:
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We have adopted the fair value recognition provisions Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”).  Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after December 31, 2005 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions ASC 718. We recognize these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the options associated with the underlying employment agreement, where applicable.
 
ASC 718 also requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience. Prior to the adoption of ASC 718, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.
 
We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 which requires that such equity instruments be recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed. Stock-based compensation for non-employees is accounted for under ASC 718 and is reflected within general and administrative expenses.

Discontinued Operations

We account for our discontinued operations under the provisions of ASC 205-20 “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations”. Accordingly, the results of operations and related charges for discontinued operations with respect to the sale of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode are reflected in net loss discontinued operations.  Assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been reclassified and are reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Current assets of discontinued operations”, “Assets of discontinued operations”, “Current liabilities of discontinued operations” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations”.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e)) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures include many aspects of internal control over financial reporting.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act and have determined that such controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in any other factors that could significantly affect these controls, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On April 22, 2010 a case was filed against us stating that we conspired to divert work from the plaintiff.  The claims are for $2,400 in this case.  We believe that the suit is completely without merit and intends to vigorously defend our position.
 
On October 2, 2010, we, along with others, were notified that we are a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a third party for alleged conversion of assets, tortuous interference and defamation, among other claims.  The suit asks for actual and punitive damages totaling $4,200,000.  We believe that the suit is completely without merit and intend to vigorously defend our position.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our stockholders are no longer able to rely upon Rule 144 to sell their shares not registered for resale under the Securities Act.

Our stockholders are no longer able rely upon Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to sell their shares not registered for resale under the Securities Act because we are now a “shell company” with no or nominal operations and assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. The unavailability of Rule 144 may make it more difficult for investors holding restricted shares to sell their shares.

We expect the volume of trading of our stock will remain low and the market for selling our shares will remain limited.

Our common stock has historically been sporadically or thinly traded. As a result of the sales of SafirRosetti, Preparedness Services, Fraud and SIU Services and Bode, our delisting from NASDAQ and the unavailability of Rule 144 our trading volume may decrease even further. As a result, the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. There may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is low and a stockholder may be unable to sell his shares of common stock at an acceptable price, or at all. We cannot give stockholders any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

We may be deemed a “penny stock.”

We may be considered a “penny stock” as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, unless the price of our shares of common stock is at least $5.00. We expect that our share price will remain less than $5.00. Unless our common stock is otherwise excluded from the definition of “penny stock”, the penny stock rules apply. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, the level of trading activity could be limited and it may be difficult for investors to sell our common stock.

 (1) On April 27, 2011, we commenced a partial tender offer to purchase for cash up to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.60 per share. This tender offer closed on May 25, 2011, after which we purchased and canceled a total of 7,500,000 shares at a cost of $19,500.  This purchase represented approximately 54.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
 
 On February 7, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3,000 of our common stock over a period of 18 months, at such times, amounts and prices as we shall deem appropriate.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011 no shares were repurchased under this program.  This stock repurchase program terminated on April 27, 2011, upon the commencement of our 2011 tender offer.

On July 21, 2011, our Board approved a new program to repurchase shares of our common stock.  The repurchase program has not, and will not be established until such time as we are permitted to repurchase shares under our insider trading policy.
