QUADRANT 4 SYSTEMS CORPORATION
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
Organization
Quadrant 4 Systems Corporation (formerly Zolon Corporation) (Company) was incorporated in Florida on May 9, 1990, as Sun Express Group, Inc. On July 12, 2001, the Company changed its name to Sun Network Group, Inc. On June 3, 2005, the Company changed its name to Aventura VOIP Networks, Inc. and on October 17, 2005 to Aventura Holdings, Inc. On December 24, 2009, the Company changed its name to Zolon Corporation. On March 31, 2011, the Company changed its name to Quadrant 4 Systems Corporation.
Operations
In May 2010, the Company changed its primary business model by broadening its computer consulting services and selling solutions that are bundled with technology. The Company intends to build a full spectrum of information technology (IT) services that include consulting, products and solutions to the health care, telecommunications and financial services industries The Company has made acquisitions and may make additional acquisitions to provide these services.
Through March 31, 2011, all revenues have been from computer consulting services.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the rules and regulations under Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company together with the Company's management discussion and analysis in Item 2 of this report and in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, VSG Acquisition Corp, Resource Mine Acquisition Corp, ISS Acquisition Corporation and Quadrant 4 Solutions, Inc. (formerly MGL Solutions, Inc.). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.
Accounts and Unbilled Receivables
Accounts and unbilled receivables consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable, which is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at fair value and amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed. Software and customer lists were valued based on management’s forecast of expected future net cash flows, with revenues based on projected revenues from customers acquired and are being amortized over five to seven years.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed and determinable, performance of service has occurred and collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue is recognized in the period the services are provided.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
|
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and are considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Overview
The Company recently completed some significant acquisitions that are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company is actively pursuing a business model that was changed and expanded in connection with the acquisition of assets. Therefore, the significance of these recent acquisitions includes certain factors which represent risks and also require accentuation and explanation.
The current operations of the Company consist of providing Information Technology (IT) and Software enabled services and consulting. The Company is focused on providing its services to companies the Financial Services, Healthcare and Telecom sectors. The Company intends to grow organically from the expansion of offerings and services to customers, most of who were acquired as relationships from acquisitions as well as the acquisition of new business relationships as part of its acquisition strategy.
The financial statements being reported in this Quarterly Report are based on assets recently acquired. The Company has a limited operating history with these assets, their management and the implementation of controls. There can be no assurance that the assets will continue to perform in the manner and to the degree indicated by the financial results disclosed for the recently-ended quarter. The risks associated with recently-acquired assets are also discussed as a risk below.
Results of Operations
In 2010, the Company changed its business model significantly and, as a result, comparisons to previous periods are not relevant. The Company acquired new businesses in transactions which materially affected the amount of reported income from continuing operations. The revenues, expenses and income reflect the new businesses. Acquisition of the new businesses resulted in material increases in revenues, expenses and income but these increases are not attributed to changes in pricing or profitability of such businesses compared to prior periods of such businesses but rather the acquisition of such business.
REVENUES
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $5,434,993. The $11,725 of revenue reported in the first quarter of 2010 is fee income. In 2010, the Company changed its business model significantly and, as a result, comparisons to previous periods are not relevant.
The increase in revenues of $5,423,268 was due to the Company’s acquisition of three entities during the year ended December 31, 2010 and one entity in 2011. Revenues were comprised of service-related sales of software programming, consulting and development services.
OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES
Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $4,318,874 compared to cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of none. In 2010, the Company changed its business model significantly and, as a result, comparisons to previous periods are not relevant. Cost of sales is comprised primarily of the direct costs of labor and related expenses.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $1,014,936 compared to operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $19,105. In 2010, the Company changed its business model significantly and, as a result, comparisons to previous periods are not relevant.
Operating expenses are comprised primarily of general and administrative costs of the Company. Included in operating expenses was $659,513 of amortization expense for customer lists acquired by the company during 2010.
Financing and interest expenses were $268,790 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to none for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in financing expenses is a result of costs incurred with borrowings for long term debt to finance the Company’s acquisitions and the receivable factoring of the Company’s trade receivables.
As a result of the above factors, the Company reported a loss of $167,607 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to a loss of $7,380 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 is calculated as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2011, the Company had had an accumulated deficit of $3,550,828 and a working capital deficit of $5,739,529.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $141,830. In the comparable period of March 31, 2010, the Company had net cash provided by operations of $1,280. The increase of $140,550 was due primarily to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by an increase in accounts receivable.
Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $196,599, primarily the result of payments of long-term debt, notes payable and due to seller offset in part by the sale of common stock and proceeds from note payable.
The Company relies upon outside entities to finance its operations and provide capital for lending activities. A tightening of capital markets can reduce or eliminate funding sources resulting in a decrease in our liquidity and an inability to generate revenues from new lending activities.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. We believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition. The following are a summary of the significant accounting estimates and policies that we believe are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
Consolidated Financial Statements. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts our Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. We have made estimates for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable, fair values of our customer lists and the estimated useful lives for the amortization of our customer lists. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the value of customer lists and customer relationships, values which are not readily apparent from other sources.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.
Accounts and Unbilled Receivables. Accounts and unbilled receivables consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable, which is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are recorded at fair value and amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed. Software and customer lists were valued based on management’s forecast of expected future net cash flows, with revenues based on projected revenues from customers acquired and are being amortized over five to seven years.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed and determinable, performance of service has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized in the period the services are provided.

Not required.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2011, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have identified certain matters that constitute material weakness (as defined under the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2) in our internal controls over financial reporting. The material weaknesses that we have identified relate to the fact that that our overall financial reporting structure, internal accounting information systems and current staffing levels are not sufficient to support our financial reporting requirements. We are working to remedy our deficiency.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal controls that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
We have been named in an arbitration action for attorney’s fees claimed by former counsel to StoneGate Holdings, who has alleged that there is a total of approximately $18,000 due to them. The legal services were rendered in connection with the assets subsequently acquired by the Company but the Company had no contract with the attorney or any agreement with StoneGate Holdings to pay the balance of fees. The Company believes that its being named in the arbitration matter is without merit and intends to defend the claim.
There are no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
