NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

NOTE 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Cicero Inc.'s (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, but does not include all disclosures required for financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly owned for the periods presented.

Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses of $823,000 and $1,975,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and has experienced negative cash flows from operations for each of the past three years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred losses of $707,000 and $1,110,000, respectively, and had a working capital deficiency of $6,209,000 as of June 30, 2009. However, the Company has shown that its product is gaining acceptance in the marketplace as evidenced by its growth in revenues over the past two years. Further, the Company obtained funding in the amount of $750,000 in March 2009 and expects to have positive cash flows and an operating profit for fiscal 2009. Management believes with the additional funding that the Company will be able to fund its operations through the year ending December 31, 2009 assuming a no further worsening in economic conditions.

Use of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123R”), “Share-Based Payment”, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company issued 400,000 options in the first six month of 2009 of which 133,333 were vested immediately. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $102,000 and $212,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company also recognized stock-based compensation expense of $9,000 and $18,000, respectively, for the three and six months

Page 5

ended June 30, 2009, for the 549,360 restricted shares of stock reserved for Mr. John Broderick, the Company’s CEO, in accordance with his 2007 employment agreement.

The following table sets forth certain information as of June 30, 2009 about shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 (the “Common Stock”), outstanding and available for issuance under the Company’s existing equity compensation plans: the Cicero Inc. 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan, the Cicero Inc. (formerly Level 8 Systems, Inc.) 1997 Stock Option Incentive Plan and the Outside Director Stock Option Plan. The Company’s stockholders approved all of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

Options to purchase shares of common stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation. No options were included for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. 5,882 options were included for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 while no options were included for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the respective period. The weighted average number of common shares is increased by the number of dilutive potential common shares issuable on the exercise of options less the number of common shares assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the options pursuant to the treasury stock method; those purchases are assumed to have been made at the average price of the common stock during the respective period. The average price of Cicero common stock during the three months ending June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 was $0.15 and $0.17, respectively. The average price of Cicero common stock during the six months ending June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 was $0.14 and $0.18, respectively.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes only two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), authoritative and nonauthoritative. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) will becomes the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140. The new standard eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 166 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. This standard is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial

Page 6

statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 165 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) intended to provide application guidance and enhanced disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides additional guidelines for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. FSP No. 115-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, provides additional guidance related to the disclosure impairment losses on securities and the accounting for impairment losses on debt securities. FSP No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, increases the frequency of fair value disclosures. These FSPs are effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009. The adoption of these FSPs is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement shall be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. This statement requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 has had no material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, research and development assets and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income taxes. SFAS 141R was effective for the Company beginning January1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 has had no material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (as amended).” SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51’s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS 141R. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The statement shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the statement is initially adopted. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 has had no material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – an amendment of FASB Statement 115.” The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets

Page 7

and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Most of the provisions of this statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option; however, the amendment to SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 has had no material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(a)

In October 2007, the Company, in conjunction with Blue Phoenix Solutions, retired the note payable to Bank Hapoalim and entered into a new note with Blue Phoenix Solutions in the principal amount of $1,021,000 with interest at LIBOR plus 1% (approximately 2.975% at March 31, 2009) maturing in December 2011. Interest is payable quarterly. During 2008, the Company paid $200,000 against the principal and BluePhoenix converted $50,000 of principal into 195,848 shares of Cicero common stock. In January 2009, the Company paid $100,000 against the principal.

stock for every $1,000 of principal due under the Note. The exercise price on the warrant is $0.20 per share. The shares of common stock underlying the warrants have registration rights and a cashless exercise provision in the event no registration statement is effective for resales, if required. In accordance with EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, the Company has allocated the proceeds received from the Note and Warrant Offering to determine the fair value of the warrants issued. Using Black-Scholes, the Company has determined that the fair value of the warrants issued is $53,972 and the beneficial conversion amount is $50,349. Since this beneficial conversion feature is immediately convertible upon issuance, the Company has fully amortized this beneficial conversion feature in the Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

(b)

In October 2007, the Company entered into a long-term note with John L. (Launny) Steffens, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, as part of the restructuring of the note payable to Bank Hapoalim. The note bears interest of 3% and matures in October 2009. The Company was indebted to Mr. Steffens in the amount of $300,000 at both dates. In March 2009, the Company and Mr. Steffens agreed to extend the maturity on the above Note until October 2010. In April 2009, the Company awarded Mr. Steffens, in consideration for the extended maturity, 250,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.20 per share. These warrants expire in five years. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes formula to calculate the value of these warrants which amounted to $12,000 and were included in general and administrative expenses.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the fact that no income tax benefit was recorded for the net loss for the first six months of fiscal year 2009 or 2008. Because of the Company's recurring losses, the deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

NOTE 7. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented include stock options, warrants and preferred stock.

The following reconciles the weighted average shares used for the basic earnings per share computation to the shares used for the diluted earnings per share computation (in thousands):


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2009		2008			2009		2008
Basic shares		47,035		45,794			46,839		45,374

NOTE 9. CONTINGENCIES

Various lawsuits and claims have been brought against us in the normal course of our business.

In October 2003, we were served with a summons and complaint in Superior Court of North Carolina regarding unpaid invoices for services rendered by one of our subcontractors. The amount in dispute was approximately $200,000 and is included in accounts payable. Subsequent to March 31, 2004, we settled this litigation. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay a total of $189,000 plus interest over a 19-month period ending November 15, 2005. The Company has not made any additional payments and has a remaining liability of approximately $88,000.

Under the indemnification clause of the Company’s standard reseller agreements and software license agreements, the Company agrees to defend the reseller/licensee against third party claims asserting infringement by the Company’s products of certain intellectual property rights, which may include patents, copyrights, trademarks or trade secrets, and to pay any judgments entered on such claims against the reseller/licensee.

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through August 14, 2009, require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. As a result of this review, no subsequent events were deemed to impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 2.

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

Cicero Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) is a provider of business integration software that enables organizations to integrate new and existing information and processes at the desktop with our Cicero® software product. Business integration software addresses the emerging need for a company's information systems to deliver enterprise-wide views of the company's business information processes. The Company also provides email encryption products that address information and security compliance from the individual to the enterprise.

In addition to software products, the Company also provides technical support, training and consulting services as part of its commitment to providing its customers industry-leading integration solutions. The Company’s consulting team has in-depth experience in developing successful enterprise-class solutions as well as valuable insight into the business information needs of customers in the Global 5000. We offer services around our integration and encryption software products.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities, liquidity and capital resources and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause its actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. These risk and uncertainties include, among others, the following:

We have a history of losses and expect that we will continue to experience losses at least through the second quarter of 2009;

We develop new and unproven technology and products;

We depend on an unproven strategy for ongoing revenue;

Economic conditions could adversely affect our revenue growth and cause us not to achieve desired revenue;

The so-called “penny stock rule” could make it cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our common stock, making the market for our common stock less liquid which could cause the price of our stock to decline;

Because we cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of individual sales, our quarterly operating results may vary significantly, which could adversely impact our stock price;

Loss of key personnel associated with Cicero® development could adversely affect our business;

Different competitive approaches or internally developed solutions to the same business problem could delay or prevent adoption of Cicero®;

Our ability to compete may be subject to factors outside our control;

The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product introductions;

We may face damage to the reputation of our software and a loss of revenue if our software products fail to perform as intended or contain significant defects;

We may be unable to enforce or defend our ownership and use of proprietary and licensed technology;

Our business may be adversely impacted if we do not provide professional services to implement our solutions;

Because our software could interfere with the operations of customers, we may be subject to potential product liability and warranty claims by these customers;

Page 12

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and it is likely that no cash dividends will be paid in the future; and

Provisions of our charter and bylaws could deter takeover attempts.

Reference should be made to such factors and all forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the above cautionary statements. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our goals will be achieved. Given these uncertainties, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this quarterly report. We assume no obligation to update or revise them or provide reasons why actual results may differ.

The Company's results of operations include the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008.

Total Revenues. Total revenues decreased $783,000, or 55%, from $1,427,000 to $644,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in software license revenue partially offset by an increase in maintenance and consulting revenue.

Total Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue increased $127,000, or 46%, from $274,000 to $401,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to increased headcount.

Total Gross Margin. Gross margin was $243,000, or 37.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the gross margin of $1,153,000, or 80.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross margin is due to the decrease of software license revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $199,000, or 29.6%, from $672,000 to $871,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to additional sales and marketing costs due to increased participation at trade shows and increase in accounting and regulatory fees due to additional public company filings.

Revenue. The Company has three categories of revenue: software products, maintenance, and services. Software products revenue is comprised primarily of fees from licensing the Company's proprietary software products. Maintenance revenue is comprised of fees for maintaining, supporting, and providing periodic upgrades to the Company's software products. Services revenue is comprised of fees for consulting and training services related to the Company's software products.

The Company's revenues vary from quarter to quarter, due to market conditions, the budgeting and purchasing cycles of customers and the effectiveness of the Company’s sales force. The Company typically does not have any material backlog of unfilled software orders and product revenue in any quarter is substantially dependent upon orders received in that quarter. Because the Company's operating expenses are based on revenue levels that are relatively fixed over the short term, variations in the timing of the recognition of revenue can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.

Page 13

We generally recognize revenue from software license fees when our obligations to the customer are fulfilled, which is typically upon delivery or installation. Revenue related to software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the terms of the contracts. Revenues from services are recognized on a time and materials basis as the services are performed and amounts due from customers are deemed collectible and non-refundable. The revenue recognition rules pertaining to software arrangements are complicated and certain assumptions are made in determining whether the fee is fixed and determinable and whether collectability is probable. Should our actual experience with respect to collections differ from our initial assessment, there could be adjustments to future results.

Software Products.

Software Product Revenue. The Company earned $25,000 in software product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $932,000 in software revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was due to a general slowdown in the overall economy.

Software Product Gross Margins. The gross margin on software products for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 88% compared with 96.9% for the three month ended June 30, 2008. Cost of software reflects the accrual of royalty payments offset by revenues and is composed of royalties to third parties, and to a lesser extent, production and distribution costs.

Maintenance.

Maintenance Revenue. Maintenance revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased by approximately $108,000, or 49.8%, from $217,000 to $325,000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Maintenance Gross Margin. Gross margin on maintenance products for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 83.72% compared with 74.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of maintenance is comprised of personnel costs and related overhead for the maintenance and support of the Company’s software products. The increase of gross margin is due to the increase in maintenance revenue and decrease in headcount.

Services.

Services Revenue. Services revenue increased $16,000, or 5.8%, from $278,000 to $294,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in services revenues is due to increase in integration work.

Services Gross Margin/(Loss). Services gross margin loss was (17.3%) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with gross margin of 32% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to the increase in headcount in 2009.

Operating Expenses:

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily include personnel costs for salespeople, marketing personnel, travel and related overhead, as well as trade show participation and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased by approximately $168,000, or 87.5%, from $192,000 to $360,000 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to greater trade show participation and marketing materials.

Page 14

Research and Development. Research and product development expenses primarily include personnel costs for product authors, product developers and product documentation and related overhead. Research and development expense increased by approximately $3,000, or 1.9%, from $160,000 to $163,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in costs for the quarter is primarily due to increased travel.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs for the legal, financial, human resources, and administrative staff, related overhead, and all non-allocable corporate costs of operating the Company. Our office is located in Cary, North Carolina. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased by approximately $28,000, or 8.8%, from $320,000 to $348,000 over the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in accounting and regulatory fees due to additional public company filings.

Provision for Taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate for continuing operations differs from the statutory rate primarily because an income tax expense/benefit was not recorded for the income/loss incurred in the second quarter of 2009 or 2008. Because of the Company’s recurring losses, the deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

Impact of Inflation. Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company’s operating results during the periods presented.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008.

This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in software license revenue for the first six months of 2009 partially offset by an increase in maintenance and consulting revenue for the same period.

Total Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue increased $284,000, or 55.3%, from $514,000 to $798,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to increased headcount in consulting services.

Maintenance Gross Margin. Gross margin on maintenance products for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 81.3% compared with 63.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase of gross margin is due to the increase in maintenance revenue.

Page 15

Page 16

months ended June 30, 2009 was comprised primarily from new long term financing agreement with various lenders for $750,000 offset by the repayment of short term debt in the amount of $702,000.

Liquidity

The Company funded its cash needs during the six months ended June 30, 2009 with cash on hand from December 31, 2008, the revenue generated in the first six months of 2009 and the financing completed in March 2009.

In March 2009, the Company entered into several secured Promissory Notes with certain investors in the aggregate amount of $750,000. The Notes bear interest at 15% and mature on January 31, 2012. The Notes are secured by the amount due the Company in February 2010 under its contract with Merrill Lynch. In addition, each investor was issued a warrant to purchase common stock of the Company. Under the terms of the warrant, which expires in five years, each Note holder is entitled to purchase 1,000 shares of Cicero common stock for every $1,000 of principal due under the Note. The exercise price on the warrant is $0.20 per share. The shares of common stock underlying the warrants have registration rights and a cashless exercise provision in the event no registration statement is effective for resales, if required.

In October 2007, the Company agreed to restructure a promissory note payable to Bank Hapoalim and guaranty by BluePhoenix Solutions. Under a new agreement with BluePhoenix, the Company made a principal reduction payment to Bank Hapoalim in the amount of $300,000. Simultaneously, BluePhoenix paid $1,671,000 to Bank Hapoalim, thereby discharging that indebtedness. The Company and BluePhoenix entered into a new promissory note in the amount of $1,021,000, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and maturing on December 31, 2011. In addition, BluePhoenix acquired 2,546,149 shares of our common stock in exchange for $650,000 paid to Bank Hapoalim to retire that indebtedness. In March 2008, the Company amended the terms of its note payable to BluePhoenix Solutions. Under the terms of the original note, the Company was to make a principal reduction payment in the amount of $350,000 on January 30, 2009. The Company and BluePhoenix agreed to accelerate that principal payment to March and May 2008 in return for a conversion of $50,000 of principal into 195,848 shares of the Company’s common stock. In March, the Company paid $200,000 plus accrued interest and in July 2008, the $50,000 of debt was converted into 195,848 shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining payment of $100,000 was paid in January 2009.

From time to time, the Company entered into promissory notes with John L. (Launny) Steffens, the Chairman of the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2009, the Company is indebted to Mr. Steffens in the amount of $385,000. The notes bear interest between 3% and 10% per annum.

From time to time the Company entered into promissory notes with Anthony Pizi, a director of the Company and its former Chief Information Officer. As of June 30, 2009, the Company is indebted to Mr. Pizi in the amount of $9,000. The notes bear interest at 12% per annum.

The Company has incurred losses of approximately $823,000 and $1,975,000 in the past two years and has experienced negative cash flows from operations for each of the past three years. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred an additional loss of approximately $1,110,000 and has a working capital deficiency of approximately $6,209,000. However, the Company has shown that its product is gaining acceptance in the marketplace as evidenced by its growth in revenues over the past two years. Further, the Company obtained funding in the amount of $750,000 in March 2009 and assuming a no further worsening in economic conditions, expects to have positive cash flows and an operating profit for fiscal 2009. Management believes with the funds received from the March 2009 financing that the Company will be able to fund its operations through the year ending December 31, 2009.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a 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 company in the reports that it files and submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there has been no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
