INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT
 
To the Stockholders of HighTower, Inc.
 
 
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheets of Hightower, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the related condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.  This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial information consists of principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company had negative cash flow from operations and recurring net losses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes To Condensed Financial Statements

1.                   Business and Organization

HighTower, Inc. (“the Company”) develops custom software for most of the ERP solutions it offers, and has a variety of established, off-the-shelf enhancements for Sage MAS 90 ERP and Sage MAS 200 ERP software systems. The Company is also a value added reseller for Sage Software’s MAS 90/200/500 financial and accounting software. The Company sells services and products to various end users, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributor industry clients located throughout the United States.

In June 2012 the Company sold selected assets and obligations to SWK Technologies, an information technology company, and a value added reseller and master developer for Sage Software’s MAS 90/200/500 and ERP X3 financial and accounting software as well as the publisher of its own proprietary Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software, “MAPADOC” (see Note 6). 

2.                   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of HighTower, Inc. as of March 31, 2012, the results of operations and cash flows for the three ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.  These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
During 2012, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Subsequent Events

The financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance as of August 30, 2012.  Management has evaluated subsequent events through this date.

3.                 Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.
 
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had recurring net operating losses and negative cash flow from operations and a accumulated deficit of $2.4 million. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and/or generate positive cash flow from operations.

3.                 Going Concern (continued)

Management’s plans are dependent upon obtaining additional capital to grow its business or finding a partner. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary capital, and achieve its growth objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence (see Note 6).

4.                   Promissory Note

In November 2009, as amended on November 4 and December 30, 2011, the Company executed a promissory note with a bank in the amount of $834,781. This loan is guaranteed by the owners of the Company.  The Company is required to pay $5,850 per month with a balloon payment for the balance due on March 4, 2012.  Interest on the loan is 6%. The line is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the outstanding balances were $757,618 and $763,567, respectively (see Note 6). The Company is in default and as of August 30, 2012 the outstanding balance is $409,807 (see Note 6).
 
5.                  Due to Related Party

The Company periodically borrowed money from an officer of the Company to sustain operations. There is no formal agreement for the amounts due. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amounts due to related party were $102,402 and $107,605, respectively. This amount is unsecured and subordinate to the amounts due to bank.
 
6.                  Subsequent Events

In May 2012, the Company’s assets were transferred to a trustee under a Trust Agreement and Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors of Hightower, Incorporated (the Agreement) to facilitate the sale of the Company. The Agreement enables the orderly liquidation of the assets and property of the Company and the distribution of the proceeds there from to creditors in accordance with applicable law and the priorities established within the Agreement. In accordance with the Agreement, all rights and remedies of the creditors from enforcing or obtaining the full benefit of any security is expressly reserved.
 
In June 2012, the Company and the trustee entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and sold certain assets, including customer lists and the Company’s proprietary technology for total consideration of $741,598 to SWK Technologies, Inc. (“SWK”), a subsidiary of SilverSun Technologies, Inc. The consideration is comprised of $441,964 in cash of which a portion will facilitate the settlement of payroll and related employer taxes, and an assumption of the deferred revenue performance obligation of $299,634.  In addition, the Company entered into Consulting Agreements with the principals of the Company. SWK did not assume any of the obligations of the Company, including any amounts due on the promissory note, which is currently in default.
