SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended December  31, 2008, contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the “safe-harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although our forward-looking statements reflect the good faith judgment of our management, these statements can be based only on facts and factors of which we are currently aware. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.
 
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “future,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “predict,” “hope,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Description of Business,” as well as other sections in this report. Such forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current plans and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in plans that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. You should be aware that, as a result of any of these factors materializing, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of the value of your shares of our common stock. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
 
·
the availability and adequacy of capital to pay the deferred payment obligations we owe and to support and grow our business;
     
 
·
changes in economic conditions in the U.S. and in other countries in which we currently do business;
 
 
·
currency exchange rates;
 
 
·
failure to integrate new products and newly acquired companies and the diversion of management resources relating to acquisitions, and the negative effect on our earnings relating to the amortization or potential write-down of acquired assets or goodwill;
 
 
·
fluctuations in operating results and earnings, including timing of cash flows and company performance;
 
 
·
market acceptance of new products or the failure of new products to operate as anticipated;
 
 
·
actions taken or not taken by others, including competitors, as well as legislative, regulatory, judicial and other governmental authorities;
 
 
·
competition in our industry;
 
 
·
changes in our business and growth strategy, capital improvements or development plans;
 
 
·
disputes regarding our intellectual property; and
 
 
·
other factors discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this report.
 
These and additional factors are set forth in Part II, Item 1A. of  this report. You should carefully review these risks and additional risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our annual report on Form 10-K filed on October 14, 2008. The cautionary statements made in this report are intended to be applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they may appear in this report.
 
We urge you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward looking-statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organizational Matters

The company was formed when, on February 13, 2007, Collexis Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged with and into Technology Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation. As the surviving company, Technology Holdings, Inc. changed its name to Collexis Holdings, Inc.  Immediately before the merger, Collexis Holdings, Inc. had acquired through a share exchange approximately 99.5% of the outstanding capital stock of Collexis B.V. On June 27, 2008, we acquired the remaining 0.5% of Collexis B.V. stock we did not previously own in exchange for 183,333 shares of our common stock. Before the merger, Technology Holdings, Inc. was a development stage company with no operations. Collexis B.V. was founded in 1999 in the Netherlands and through these transactions became the operating subsidiary of Collexis Holdings, Inc. and acquirer for accounting purposes.

On October 19, 2007, we acquired our long-time software development partner, SyynX WebSolutions GmbH, a privately-held software company based in Cologne, Germany. Additionally, on February 1, 2008, we acquired Lawriter, LLC, an Ohio based company that provides online legal research services to bar associations under the name Casemaker® via monthly database subscription fees. To further expand our offerings to legal industry clients, on January 18, 2008, we entered into a licensing and publishing agreement with VersusLaw, Inc., under which we acquired a perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable license to use VersusLaw’s legal-related collection of judicial opinions.

Description of Business

Collexis Holdings, Inc., sometimes referred to as “Collexis,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” in this report, is a global software development company headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina with operations in Cincinnati, Ohio, Geldermalsen, the Netherlands and Cologne, Germany. We develop software that supports the knowledge intensive market, building tools to search and mine large sets of information. Our software enables search, aggregation, navigation and discovery of information. Using public as well as proprietary thesauri of industry specific language, we can create “fingerprints” of texts - such as articles, web pages, books and internal and external databases - that can be used in turn to find the most relevant information for a researcher or business professional. We generate our revenues primarily from licensing our software, providing services to the users of our software, maintaining and supporting our software, selling related hardware and hosting software on an application service provider basis.

We operate several subsidiaries that support our core technology sales in the government, enterprise and life science sectors. In February, 2008 we  acquired an industry-dedicated subsidiary, Lawriter LLC, which provides online legal research services to lawyers in the United States primarily through state bar associations. In addition, we now offer the world’s first pre-populated professional social network for life science researchers, www.biomedexperts.com.

Our technology is based on the principle of fingerprinting or the semantic profiling of a document. The Collexis software can create a fingerprint for any piece of text containing relevant information. This process makes use of a structure of professional terminology in a particular field, including thesaurus, taxonomies or ontologies. A thesaurus contains selected words, terms and concepts and their semantic relationships in a hierarchical structure also reflecting synonyms and homonyms. The profiled fingerprint of a document is the starting point for industry applications that we use in our primary markets. The document fingerprint depends not only on the capabilities of the resulting application, but also on the underlying functionality and scalability of the system architecture to perform in industries as diverse as the legal, life sciences, and defense/government markets.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), and Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.” The Company recognizes revenue from non-cancelable software licenses when the license agreement has been signed, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. The Company recognizes license revenue from resellers when an end user has placed an order with the reseller and the above revenue recognition criteria have been met with respect to the reseller. In multiple element arrangements, the Company defers the vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) related to the undelivered elements and recognizes revenue on the delivered elements using the percentage-of-completion method.

The most commonly deferred elements are initial maintenance and consulting services. The Company recognizes initial maintenance on a straight-line basis over the initial maintenance term. The Company determines VSOE of maintenance by using a consistent percentage of maintenance fees to license fee based on renewal rates. The Company recognizes maintenance fees in subsequent years on a straight-line basis over the life of the applicable agreement. The Company determines VSOE of services by using an average consulting rate per hour for consulting services sold separately, multiplied by the estimate of hours required to complete the consulting engagement.
 
For software license, services and maintenance revenue, the Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable, the Company has performed the services and whether or not collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after the Company’s normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from invoice date, the fee is not considered fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue as the fees become due.

The Company bills the majority of its training and consulting services based on hourly rates. The Company generally recognizes revenue as it performs these services. However, when an arrangement with a customer is based on a fixed fee or requires significant work either to alter the underlying software or to build additional complex interfaces to enable the software to perform as the customer requests, the Company recognizes the related revenue using the percentage of completion method of accounting.

The Company recognizes revenues from transaction fees associated with subscription arrangements, which are billable on a per transaction basis, based on the actual number of transactions processed during the period. The Company’s Lawriter subsidiary, invoices its subscription customers in advance of the month for which the subscription services are being provided. Recognition of revenue associated with such billing is recognized by Lawriter in the month the services are actually provided.
 
Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has conducted significant sales activity through its subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Germany. The Company has experienced foreign exchange gains and losses to date without engaging in any hedging activities.

The Company’s foreign operations’ functional currency is the applicable local currency (primarily the Euro). Assets and liabilities for these foreign operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation gains or losses are reflected in the statements of operations.

Loss per Common Share

Loss per share (“EPS”) is computed based on a weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock, which would then share in the earnings of the Company. During the periods presented, the Company had 17,773,276 and 19,237,630 options, warrants and restricted stock outstanding as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively, that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. These instruments were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company monitors events or changes in circumstances that may indicate carrying amounts of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of its assets by determining whether the carrying amount of its assets will be recovered through undiscounted, expected future cash flows. If the Company determines that the carrying values of specific long-lived assets are not recoverable, the Company will record a charge to operations to reduce the carrying value of those assets to their fair values. The Company considers various valuation factors, principally discounted cash flows, to assess the fair values of long-lived assets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test requires the identification of the reporting units, and comparison of the fair value of each of these reporting units to the respective carrying value. The fair value of the reporting units is determined based on valuation techniques using the best information that is available, such as discounted cash flow projections. If the carrying value is less than the fair value, no impairment exists and the second step is not performed. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment annually at the same time every year, and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist. The annual impairment tests are performed in the fourth quarter of each year.
 
Management does not believe there is any impairment to its Goodwill or Intangible Assets at December  31, 2008 based on the Company’s current market capitalization. Other intangible assets, which include customer lists, trademarks, and other identifiable intangible assets, are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to 10 years.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, Collexis adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123R requires the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments awarded or liabilities incurred to be recognized in the financial statements. Under this method, compensation cost beginning January 1, 2006 includes the portion vesting in the period for (1) all share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (2) all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company began using the modified prospective transition method when it adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006. The Company anticipates it will grant additional employee stock options and/or non-vested stock units in the future. The fair value of these grants is not included in the amount above, as the impact of these grants cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on the number of share-based payments granted and the then current fair values.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Please see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on October 14, 2008 for a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company in addition to those listed below.

The SEC’s Office of the Chief Accountant and the staff of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued press release 2008-234 on September 30, 2008 (“Press Release”) to provide clarifications on fair value accounting.  The Press Release includes guidance on the use of management’s internal assumptions and the use of “market” quotes.  It also reiterates the factors in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5M which should be considered when determining other-than-temporary impairment: the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost; financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and the intent and ability of the holder to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
 
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active”.  This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active.  The FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. For the Company, this FSP was effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
 
The Company considered the guidance in the Press Release and in FSP SFAS 157-3 when conducting its review for other-than-temporary impairment as of December 31, 2008.
 
FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities,” was issued in December 2008 to require public entities to disclose additional information about transfers of financial assets and to require public enterprises to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities.  FSP SFAS 140-4 also requires certain disclosures for public enterprises that are sponsors and servicers of qualifying special purpose entities.  The FSP is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2008.  FSP SFAS 140-4 had no material impact on the financial position of the Company.
 
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

As noted in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on October 14, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $11.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2008, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4.2 million and we reported an accumulated deficit of $24.8 million. As a result, the report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our Consolidated Financial Statements for such period included an explanatory paragraph that expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  For the six months ended December 31, 2008 we incurred a net loss of $4.1 million and reported an accumulated deficit of $28.6 million as of December 31, 2008.

For the six months ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in operations was $3.0 million.  Our primary use of operating funds related to developing the Collexis Engine and other products and increasing our sales and marketing presence. Our working capital deficit was $4.9 million as of December 31, 2008.

Our financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2008 reflected a deferred payment associated with the Lawriter acquisition of approximately $314,000 and cash raised from stock sales of approximately $2.5 million.   Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $10,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
 
As of February 18, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $140,000. We believe our current cash balance together with any funds generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next week.

Our principal cash requirements are for working capital and to make deferred payments relating to the SyynX and Lawriter acquisitions. The deferred payments due on these acquisitions over the next three months are approximately $2.8 million. See discussion under Note 3 “Acquisitions.”

COLLEXIS HOLDINGS, INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

In order to alleviate our working capital deficiency, provide capital for deferred acquisition payments and address our continued financing concerns, management intends to take affirmative steps towards:

 
·
building on the momentum established in the market with our profiling, dashboard, and grant reviewer finder  products and cultivating our strategic alliances to increase our market presence;
 
 
·
developing new products to address the demands in our core and legal markets; and
 
 
·
identifying sources of capital that will be sufficient to fund our operations until such time as we are cash flow positive.

In order to meet our short-term working capital needs, we are currently conducting a private placement of our common stock for up to $2.0 million. As of the date of this report, we have accepted subscriptions for $700,000 from a private investor who has funded the subscribed amount.  We anticipate receiving the remaining $1.3 million over the next fifteen to forty- five days.

There can be no assurances that we can continue to receive additional funding through the private placement of our common stock and/or continue to raise funds through debt or equity financing.  Failure to achieve such funding will result in a significant negative impact to our business and our operating results, whereby we may be in breach of our acquisition agreements for SyynX and Lawriter and/or we may have to cease operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

Lawriter LLC

On February 1, 2008, we acquired Lawriter LLC (“Lawriter”), an Ohio limited liability company that provides online legal research services to a consortium of bar associations under the name Casemaker®. We purchased all of the limited liability company interests in Lawriter from OSBA.COM LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“OSBA”), and the Institute of Legal Publishing, Inc., an Ohio corporation f/k/a Lawriter Corporation (“Lawcorp”), for an aggregate consideration of $9,000,000, or $4,500,000 to each of the sellers, plus an Earn-out (as defined below), if any.

The remaining cash balance due to each seller to be paid in equal installments, are listed in the following table.

The $4.5 million due the OSBA was to be paid as follows: $1.125 million was paid at closing, the remaining cash due is payable in four equal installments of $313,750, of which, as of the date of this report, one payment remains.  The purchase agreement provides for a thirty day grace period on this payment and we anticipate making this payment prior to the expiration of such period.  With respect to the remaining $2.12 million consideration due to OSBA, the purchase agreement provides that we may either:
(a) 
credit against the balance of that consideration the monthly fee that would otherwise be payable by the Ohio State Bar Association to Lawriter for the 60 months following the closing (which is estimated to equal a credit of approximately $424,000 per twelve month period or $2.12 million in total) or

(b) 
pay all or any portion of the balance directly to OSBA on a monthly basis for the 60 months following the closing, in which case the Ohio State Bar Association would resume making payments to Lawriter in the ordinary course of business.

As of the filing date of this report, the Company has not paid the $750,000 payment due Lawcorp on February 1, 2009.  Lawcorp has agreed, in writing to extend the payment due date until April 1, 2009.

Under the terms of the purchase, we also agreed to pay the Earn-out, if any, on a pro rata basis to OSBA and Lawcorp within 20 days following the end of each calendar quarterly period within the Earn-out period. The Earn-out period:

·
begins on the earlier occurrence of (a) the first day of that calendar month on which the aggregate Net Sales derived from the products and services that we acquired under the terms of the Agreement, including intellectual property rights related to the Casemaker database and software and Collexis-related technology and enhancements that we intend to offer to our customers and clients (collectively, “Legal Research Services”), have been at least $2.75 million for each of the previous three consecutive calendar months following the closing or (b) the first day of the 18th month following the closing; and

·
ends on the last day of the 60th calendar month thereafter.

The term “Net Sales” means gross revenues derived from Legal Research Services less returns, discounts, allowances, sales taxes and bad debt reserves, as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The term “Earn-out” means a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (x) the Earn-out percentage of 3.75%, or 3.9% in certain circumstances, multiplied by (y) Net Sales derived from Legal Research Services during each calendar quarterly period within the Earn-out period, reduced by any payment we may be required to make to the consortium of bar associations under the terms of their respective license agreements with Lawriter. The aggregate of any or all Earn-out payments, however, cannot exceed $15 million.

The total of remaining payments, $5,362,051, represents the actual payment amounts due on their respective due dates. The calculation of deferred purchase price on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008, $4,754,723, reflects the present value of these payments discounted at the implied interest rate of 8%. The difference of $607,328 represents the value of imputed interest.

The transaction is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141. The purchase price allocation, as of the purchase date, is as follows:

Purchase Price:
     
Deferred purchase price (net of imputed interest of $947,272)

The Company continues to evaluate and value the identifiable intangible assets and acquisition costs of Lawriter. Thus, this preliminary allocation is subject to refinement, including an increase in purchase price for the reasonably estimable value of the Earn-out, as permitted for a period of 12 months from the date of acquisition.

SyynX Solutions GmbH

On October 19, 2007, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the shareholders and managing directors of SyynX Solutions GmbH (“SyynX”), for an aggregate cash consideration of €5,923,267, or approximately $8,488,343 at then current exchange rates. The table below reflects the remaining installment payments to be made.

On January 6, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement amending the Share Purchase Agreement for SyynX.  The amendment relates to the payment terms of the second installment which was due on October 1, 2008 in the amount of €1,494,304 plus accrued interest at 8% for a period of 90 days (the payment grace period).  As of December 31, 2008, the second installment amount due with accrued interest is €1,524,006.  The amendment provides for the following payments:
 
 
(1)
€300,000 on or before January 7, 2009 (paid on January 6, 2009);
 
(2)
€400,000 on or before February 3, 2009;
 
(3)
€100,000 on or before February 17, 2009; and
 
(4)
€724,006 on or before March 31, 2009 (which includes €29,702 accrued).

In addition, pursuant to the amendment, interest will accrue on the unpaid second installment balance at an annual rate of 12% from January 1, 2009, until paid.  Based on the scheduled payments above, the estimated interest payments will be approximately €28,400 or approximately $40,035 based on the December 31, 2008 exchange rate.  All accrued interest is due on or before March 31, 2009.
 
As of the filing date of this report, we have not made the €400,000 payment due on February 3, 2009 or the €100,000 payment due on February 17, 2009.  We have reached a verbal agreement with the former shareholders of SyynX to extend such payment due date; however, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, during such time as any installment remains outstanding, the former SyynX shareholders have a contractual lien against the SyynX shares and the right to use the SyynX software and products developed by the Company with the right to grant sub-licenses until complete payment of the purchase price.
 
All or a portion of the final scheduled payment of the second installment  for €714,851 may be accelerated in the event the Company raises funds through a sale of  its equity securities or a sale of all or a portion of its business and such sale results in the receipt of proceeds of more than $3.0 million.  Thirty percent of any amount received in excess of $3.0 million will be used to offset the March 31, 2009 payment plus any accrued interest thereon.
 
The total of remaining payments, $5,621,191, represents the actual payment amounts due on their respective due dates, calculated at the December 31, 2008 exchange rate. The calculation of deferred purchase price on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008, $5,291,032, reflects the present value of these payments discounted at the implied interest rate of 8%. The difference of $330,159 represents the value of imputed interest.
 
The transaction is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price allocation, as of the purchase date, is as follows:

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the SyynX share purchase agreement, we granted to each of the three managing directors of SyynX as a condition to their employment agreements an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The options have a term of eight years. The options vested or will vest as follows: options to purchase 16,666 shares vested on October 19, 2007; options to purchase 16,666 shares vested or will vest each month through August 19, 2012, and options to purchase the final 16,706 shares will vest on September 19, 2012. Additionally, on February 15, 2008, we granted seven former SyynX employees and one consultant the option to purchase a total of 275,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, under a proportionally identical vesting schedule and as called for under the agreement.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Overview
 
Collexis Holdings, Inc., sometimes referred to as “Collexis,” “we,” “us,” or “our” in this report, is a global software company headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina with major operations in Cincinnati, Ohio, Geldermalsen, the Netherlands and Cologne, Germany. We develop software that supports the knowledge intensive market, building tools to search and mine large sets of information. Our software enables search, aggregation, navigation and discovery of information. Using public as well as proprietary thesauri of industry specific language, we can create “fingerprints” of texts – such as articles, web pages, books and internal and external databases – that can be used in turn to find the most relevant information for a researcher, analyst or business professional. We generate our revenues primarily from licensing our software and content, providing services to the users of our software, maintaining and supporting our software, selling related hardware and hosting software on an application service provider basis.
 
We operate several subsidiaries that support our core technology sales in the government, enterprise and life science markets. In October 2007, we acquired SyynX Solutions GmbH, this expanded our application solutions in health sciences. In February 2008, we acquired an industry-dedicated subsidiary, Lawriter LLC that provides online legal research services to lawyers in the United States primarily through state bar associations. In addition, we now offer the world’s first pre-populated professional social network for life science researchers, www.biomedexperts.com.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2007

Total Revenues. Total revenues increased approximately $913,000, or 95%, to approximately $1.87 million  for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately $957,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Of this increase, approximately $168,000, or 18%, was due to the expansion of sales efforts in the university and research markets.  The remaining increase was due primarily to the revenue contribution by our acquisition of Lawriter of approximately $745,000.
 
License Revenue. License revenue decreased approximately $149,000, or 63%, to approximately $86,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately $235,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2007. This decrease is primarily due to fewer sales of new licenses and subscriptions in the government, university and research markets.

Service Revenue. Service revenue increased approximately $181,000, or 31%, to approximately $771,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 versus approximately $590,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily driven by our US market, where approximately $283,000 of our period sales revenue was derived from sales efforts to deliver services to new and existing clients who seek to add profiles and libraries to subscription applications. This increase was offset by reduced service revenue primarily from Collexis BV of approximately $102,000.

Maintenance & Support Revenue. Maintenance and support revenue increased approximately $148,000, or 155%, to approximately $243,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $95,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. This increase is due primarily to sales of maintenance contracts to new and existing license customers.

Hardware & Hosting Revenue. Hardware and hosting revenue decreased approximately $11,000, or 30%, to approximately $26,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 versus approximately $37,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. This decrease is due primarily to our placing less emphasis on hosting client applications.

Database Subscription Revenue. Database subscription revenue was approximately $745,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. This was a new revenue line for us as a result of our acquisition of Lawriter, LLC on February 1, 2008. Therefore, no revenue for this service line existed for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

Cost of License Revenue. Cost of license revenue was approximately $180,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately $34,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $146,000, or 430%.   This increase was primarily due to a revenue sharing accrual, resulting from the execution of a license contract with one of our strategic partners at the end of December 2008.  The revenue associated with this license contract, of approximately $300,000, will be recognized as the work is completed, which is expected in the third quarter of 2009.

Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue increased approximately $97,000, or 37%, to approximately $360,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 versus approximately $263,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007.   This was due primarily to an increase in service revenue.

Cost of Maintenance & Support Revenue. Cost of maintenance and support revenue decreased  approximately $61,000, or 81%, to approximately $14,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $75,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease was due to the minimal support required to service our maintenance contracts.

Cost of Hardware & Hosting Revenue. Cost of hardware and hosting revenue was approximately $38,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 versus approximately $29,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $9,000, or 30%. This increase is a function of the increased costs we are incurring from our third party hosting centers.

Cost of Subscription Revenue. Cost of subscription revenue was approximately $216,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. This was a new expense for us due to the acquisition of Lawriter, LLC on February 1, 2008. Therefore, no comparable cost for this expense line existed for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

General & Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses remained flat at approximately $2.12 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and  December 31, 2007.   Increased expenses were incurred due to the incremental general and administrative expenses of approximately $5,000 and $411,000 for SyynX and Lawriter respectively; increased depreciation and amortization costs of approximately $72,000 associated with intangibles and other assets acquired from SyynX and Lawriter; increased computer expenses of approximately $18,000 and increased insurance costs of approximately $32,000 primarily due to directors and officers insurance costs.  These increases were offset by a decrease in costs relating to the reduction of the Company’s Netherland’s operations of approximately $357,000, decreased professional fees of approximately $145,000 and a decrease in stock option expense of approximately $30,000.

Sales & Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to approximately $738,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $800,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of approximately $62,000, or 8%. The SyynX and Lawriter acquisitions contributed approximately $213,000 and $89,000, respectively.  These increases were offset by reduced costs in the Netherlands of approximately $202,000; reduced travel and entertainment costs of approximately $54,000, reduced advertising costs of approximately $21,000; and reduced salaries, commissions and vacation costs of approximately $87,000.

Research & Development. Research and development costs decreased from approximately $511,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to approximately $176,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $335,000, or 66%. This decrease was driven by the demands of client projects which have changed our focus from traditional research and development initiatives.

Total Expenses and Net Loss. As a result of the above factors, total operating expenses decreased to approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of approximately $396,000, or 12%.  Decreased expenses were offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange rate of approximately $313,000, interest on acquisition debt of approximately $104,000 and a reduction in tax benefits relating to deferred taxes recognized in Germany on the SyynX assets.  For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the net loss of $2.4 million was favorable when compared to the $2.8 million loss for the  three months ended December 31, 2007.

Six Months Ended December  31, 2008 compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2007

Total Revenues. Total revenues increased approximately $2.05 million, or 162%, to approximately $3.31 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately $1.26 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Of this increase, approximately $560,000, or 27%, was due to the expansion of  sales efforts in the university and research markets.  The remaining increase was due primarily to the revenue contribution by our acquisition of Lawriter of approximately $1.49 million.

License Revenue. License revenue decreased approximately $75,000, or 27%, to approximately $204,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately $278,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2007. This decrease is primarily due to fewer sales of new licenses and subscriptions in the government, university and research markets.

Service Revenue. Service revenue increased approximately $454,000, or 69%, to approximately $1.1 million  for the six months ended December 31, 2008 versus approximately $659,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily driven by our US market, where approximately $331,000 of our period sales revenue was derived from sales efforts to deliver services to new existing clients who seek to add profiles and libraries to subscription applications. The remaining increase of approximately $123,000 was attributable to our European market.

Maintenance & Support Revenue. Maintenance and support revenue increased approximately $180,000, or 65%, to approximately $457,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $277,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. This increase was due primarily to sales of maintenance contracts to new and existing license customers.

Hardware & Hosting Revenue. Hardware and hosting revenue remained flat year over year  for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 at approximately $51,000.  We are placing  less of an emphasis on hosting client applications.

Database Subscription Revenue. Database subscription revenue was approximately $1.49 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This was a new revenue line for us as a result of our acquisition of Lawriter, LLC on February 1, 2008. Therefore, no revenue for this service line existed for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

Cost of License Revenue. Cost of license revenue was approximately $180,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately $43,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $137,000, or 319%.   This increase was primarily due to a revenue sharing accrual resulting from the execution of a license contract, with one of our strategic partners at the end of December 2008.  The revenue associated with this license contract, of approximately $300,000, will be recognized as the work is completed which is expected in the third quarter of 2009.

Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue increased approximately $339,000, or 100%, to approximately $677,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 versus approximately $338,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.   This increase was a direct result of the increase in service revenue experienced for the six month period.

Cost of Maintenance & Support Revenue. Cost of maintenance and support revenue decreased approximately $179,000, or 85%, to approximately $31,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $210,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease was due to the minimal support required to service our maintenance contracts.

Cost of Hardware & Hosting Revenue. Cost of hardware and hosting revenue was approximately $73,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 versus approximately $37,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $36,000, or 97%. This increase is a function of the increased costs we are incurring from our third party hosting centers as well as approximately $25,000 of added costs from SyynX.

Cost of Subscription Revenue. Cost of subscription revenue was approximately $375,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This was a new expense for us due to the acquisition of Lawriter, LLC on February 1, 2008. Therefore, no comparable cost for this expense line existed for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

General & Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $4.42 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 versus approximately $3.25 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $1.17 million, or 36%. This increase was due primarily to incremental general and administrative expenses of approximately $60,000 and $861,000 for SyynX and Lawriter respectively, increased depreciation and amortization costs of approximately $579,000 associated with intangibles and other assets acquired from SyynX and Lawriter,  increased salaries and commissions of approximately $111,000, increased insurance costs of approximately $79,000 primarily due to directors and officers insurance costs, increased costs associated with computer expenses of approximately $35,000 and increased stock option expense of approximately $35,000.  These increases were offset by decreases in costs relating to the reduction of the Company’s Netherland’s operations of approximately $352,000 and a decrease in professional fees of approximately $242,000.

Sales & Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased to approximately $1.54 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $1.41 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $131,000, or 9%. The SyynX and Lawriter acquisitions contributed approximately $376,000 and $200,000, respectively, and we incurred increased professional fees of $47,000.  These increases were offset by reduced costs in the Netherlands of approximately $298,000, reduced travel and entertainment costs of approximately $67,000, reduced salaries, commissions and vacation costs of approximately $102,000, and miscellaneous other expenses of approximately $25,000.

Research & Development. Research and development costs decreased from approximately $779,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to approximately $370,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $409,000, or 53%. This decrease was driven by the demands of client projects, which has changed our focus from traditional research and development initiatives.

Total Expenses and Net Loss. As a result of the above factors, total operating expenses increased to approximately $6.33 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $5.43 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $900,000, or 16%.  Additionally, interest expense due to acquisition debt increased by approximately $159,000.  These increased expenses were offset by a favorable foreign exchange rate of approximately $382,000, an increase in tax benefits relating to deferred taxes recognized in Germany on the SyynX assets of approximately $22,000, and the revenue increase of approximately $2.1 million.  For the six months ended December 31, 2008, the net loss of $4.1 million was favorable when compared to the $4.8 million loss for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As noted in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on October 14, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $11.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2008, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4.2 million and we reported an accumulated deficit of $24.8 million. As a result, the report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our Consolidated Financial Statements for such period included an explanatory paragraph that expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  For the six months ended December 31, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $4.1 million and as of December 31, 2008, we reported an accumulated deficit of $28.6 million.

In the six months ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in operations was $3.0 million. Our primary use of operating funds related to developing the Collexis Engine and other products and increasing our sales and marketing presence. Our working capital deficit was $4.9 million as of December 31, 2008 compared to a deficit of $4.2 million as of June 30, 2008.

Our financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2008 reflected deferred payments associated with the Lawriter acquisition of approximately $314,000 and cash received on stock sales of approximately $2.51 million.   Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $10,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
 
As of February 18, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $140,000. We believe our current cash balance together with any funds generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next  week.

Our principal cash requirements are for working capital and to make deferred payments relating to the SyynX and Lawriter acquisitions. The deferred payments due on these acquisitions over the next three months are approximately $2.8 million. See discussion under Note 3 “Acquisitions.”

In order to alleviate our working capital deficiency, provide capital for deferred acquisition payments and address our continued financing concerns, management intends to take affirmative steps towards:
 
 
·
building on the momentum established in the market with our profiling and dashboard products and cultivating our strategic alliances to increase our market presence;

 
·
developing new products to address the demands in our core markets; and

 
·
identifying sources of capital that will be sufficient to fund our operations until such time as we are cash flow positive.

 
21

 

In order to meet our short-term working capital needs, we are currently conducting a private placement of our common stock for up to $2.0 million. As of the date of this report, we have accepted subscriptions for $700,000 from a private investor who has funded the subscribed amount. We anticipate receiving the remaining $1.3 million over the next fifteen to forty-five days.
 
With the full subscription of our $2.0 million private placement referred to above, combined with any funds generated from our operations, we believe we will have sufficient cash to fund our operations through March 31, 2009. However, this will not provide sufficient capital to pay our deferred purchase obligations of approximately $2.8 million due over the next three months.
 
We expect to raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock, mostly through private placements but we can provide no assurances in that regard. With our present negative cash flows from operating activities and our current level of cash, we will require additional working capital to continue to grow our operations, develop our products, pursue acquisitions, comply with our reporting obligations as a public company and meet our deferred payment obligations. As a result, we may seek both debt and equity financings to satisfy these working capital needs. There can be no assurance that external financing will be available when needed, or if available, that it would be available on terms acceptable to our management. Failure to achieve such funding will result in a significant negative impact to our business and our operating results, whereby we may be in breach of our acquisition agreements for SyynX and Lawriter and/or we may have to cease business operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
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.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2008, and have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized for management and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reached this conclusion due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
 
As previously stated in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed October 14, 2008, management and the Audit Committee retained RSM McGladrey to assist in an evaluation of our internal control weaknesses. RSM McGladrey has performed a review of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 
 
Based on the findings of RSM McGladrey and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, we identified the following deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting. Management does not believe any one deficiency would qualify as a material weakness but the combination of deficiencies may qualify as a significant deficiency.
 
Deficiencies
 
Entity-Level Controls . We did not maintain an effective control environment and certain entity-level controls included in the information and communications and monitoring components of internal control were not designed or operating effectively.
 
Segregation of Duties . We did not provide for adequate segregation of duties in our accounting and finance functions, specifically with respect to access to and control of our cash flow without any secondary review.
 
Financial Reporting and Period Closings . We did not maintain adequate policies and procedures to ensure that timely, accurate and reliable consolidated financial statements were prepared and reviewed.
 
Remediation Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
As a result of the findings from the study described above, management has taken steps to address these findings, including formalizing monthly closing procedures, utilizing monthly journal entry checklists and employing a monthly financial closing checklist. Management continues to implement the remedial recommendations identified in the RSM McGladrey study and expects to have such implementation completed by the end of the Company’s current fiscal year.
 
Management believes these changes implemented during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter have and will continue to favorably impact the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Collexis and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lawriter LLC are defendants in a case commenced by JuriSearch Holdings LLC (“JuriSearch”), a vendor of content to Lawriter (the “Parties”). The case was commenced on April 10, 2008, and asserts claims based on breach of contract, conversion, and replevin (an act to recover goods by somebody who claims to own them). JuriSearch alleges that it has been damaged in an amount exceeding $500,000 by Lawriter’s termination of the contract and asserted failure to return property belonging to JuriSearch. Lawriter believes that JuriSearch breached the contract by failing to provide accurate and timely data, as well as by communicating directly with Lawriter’s customers (the bar associations with whom Lawriter does business) concerning the contract in violation of the terms of the contract.
 
23

 
Collexis and Lawriter have successfully had the case moved from the Superior Court for Los Angeles County, California to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Parties have been through mediation without a resolution. We believe that JuriSearch’s claims are without merit and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.
 
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
 
Various risks and uncertainties could affect the Company’s business. Any of the risks described below or elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the Company’s other SEC filings could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
We need additional capital, and it may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we do not receive the additional capital we need, our financial condition and future prospects will suffer, and our business could fail.

As of February 18, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $140,000. We believe our current balance of cash and cash equivalents combined with any funds generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next week based upon our estimates of funds required to operate our business during that period.
 
In order to meet our short-term working capital needs, we are currently conducting a private placement of our common stock for up to $2.0 million. As of the date of this report, we have accepted subscriptions for $700,000 from a private investor who has funded the subscribed amount. We anticipate receiving the remaining $1.3 million over the next fifteen to forty-five days.
 
We will need to raise additional funds for the following purposes:

 
·
to fund our operations, including sales, marketing and research and development programs;
 
·
to fund our deferred payments on acquisitions;
 
·
to fund any growth we may experience;
 
·
to enhance and/or expand the range of products and services we offer;
 
·
to increase our promotional and marketing activities; and
 
·
to respond to competitive pressures and/or perceived opportunities, such as investment, acquisition and international expansion activities.

We cannot be sure additional capital will be available, and if it is, it will be on terms beneficial to us. Historically, we obtained external financing primarily from sales of our common stock. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may then attempt to preserve our available resources by various methods including deferring the creation or satisfaction of commitments, reducing expenditures on our research and development programs or otherwise scaling back our operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital or defer costs, that inability would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, result of operations, prospects and our business could fail.
 
We have a history of operating losses and will likely incur future losses. If our losses continue, and we are unable to achieve profitability, our stock price will likely suffer.

We have operated at a loss since our inception. For the six months ended December 31, 2008, and the six months ended December 31, 2007, our net losses were approximately $4.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively. These losses include expenditures associated with developing and selling software products, including our Collexis Engine. We expect that our losses will continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in Collexis Engine enhancements and other programs.

 
24

 

Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. If we do not achieve and sustain profitability, it will likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and our financial condition.

We have concluded that as of December 31, 2008, our internal control systems over disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting were ineffective and may have significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.   If we fail to meet our reporting obligations in a timely manner in the future due to ineffective internal control systems, our business could be harmed.

We have evaluated our internal control systems over disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and found them to be ineffective. If we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting that we cannot remediate in a timely manner, or if we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending June 30, 2010, then we could be subject to scrutiny by regulatory authorities, the trading price of our common stock could decline and our ability to obtain any necessary equity or debt financing could suffer. See discussion under Part1 Item 4 “Controls and Procedures”.

ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
On August 18, 2008, the Company’s board approved a private offering of up to 9,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.45 per share for an aggregate offering of $4,050,000. Under this offering, the Company sold 2,222,222 shares and received proceeds of $1.0 million as of August 31, 2008. Because of the deteriorating global economic situation and the impact it has had on our common stock price, we were unable to continue this private offering at $0.45 per share so the offering price was reduced to $0.30 per share. At this offering price, the Company sold 1,753,333 shares and collected $526,000 in October and November 2008.
 
As the economic situation continued to deteriorate and our common stock price continued to decline, it became apparent that we would not be successful in continuing to raise funds at $0.30 per share. On December 17, 2008, the Company’s board gave management the authority to negotiate terms of a private placement of the Company’s common stock at an appropriate price and terms.
 
As a result, on January 2, 2009, the Company accepted a subscription for 6,363,636 shares at $0.11 per share for total proceeds of $700,000. On January 23, 2009, the board approved an additional private placement of 11,818,182 shares at $0.11 per share or $1.3 million. As an inducement to the participants in this latest offering, the board also approved the issuance to such participants warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. As approved, the Company intends to issue warrants to purchase 12,500,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.145 per share and warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.07 per share. The warrants vest immediately and are exercisable for two years from the date of issuance.
 
We anticipate completing our current private equity offering by March 31, 2009, however, there can be no assurances that the offering will be fully subscribed, if at all.
 
We have used or will use the proceeds of our recent private offerings to make installment payments required under the terms of our acquisition agreements and for working capital. Our private placements are conducted in reliance on exemptions from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each investor has agreed to hold the shares purchased in the offering for a minimum of one year. No placement fees were payable in connection with this offering.
