2. | The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-QSB have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ISC management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which comprise only normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 31, 2006. | |
3. | Discontinued Operations Effective July 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of the business and certain assets of its QS Technologies, Inc. (QS) subsidiary to Netsmart Public Health, Inc. and its parent company, Netsmart Technologies, Inc., referred to collectively as Netsmart. The Company sold the operations and assets associated with the QS business for a combination of $1,900,000 in cash, a promissory note of Netsmart in the amount of $1,435,000 and additional payments totaling $305,000 for unbilled receivables of QS. In addition, Netsmart assumed liabilities of QS, net of assets acquired, of $1,748,000 in the aggregate. The Company retained accounts receivable and cash of QS. The promissory note of Netsmart bears interest at the rate of 8.25 percent and is payable in thirty-six monthly payments of $45,133 beginning September 1, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the current portion of the principal amount of the note is $443,000 and the non-current portion is $957,000. The principal amount of the note is subject to adjustment based on revenue and earnings of the QS business for the period from August 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. | |
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the QS business is presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and all prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation. Based on the carrying basis of the assets and liabilities transferred to Netsmart at July 31, 2006 and estimated costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale, the Company recorded a net gain on the sale of QS of $4,873,000. | ||
The transaction also provides for contingent payments of up to $1,450,000 which may be earned by the Company in 2008 based on the attainment by the QS business of certain levels of revenue and bookings in 2007. As the amount, if any, of such payments is not quantifiable at this time, no amount has been recorded for such contingency payments. | ||

6. | Stock-Based Compensation At September 30, 2006, we had two stock-based compensation plans under which stock options to acquire shares of common stock in Intelligent Systems have been granted. Stock options for employees generally vest over a three or four year term and stock options for directors vest over a two year term; options have a maturity of ten years from issuance date; and option exercise prices are equal to the closing price on the American Stock Exchange of the common stock on the grant date. Prior to 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with the Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which permitted companies to use the alternative intrinsic value method of accounting for stock based compensation before adopting the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, Share Based Payment, which replaced APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123. The change was effective for our Company for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in financial statements the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. We have adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires the Company to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value in accordance with provisions of SFAS 123R on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company has estimated forfeiture rates based on its historical experience. Stock based compensation for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 has been recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
No options related to the above referenced stock option plans were granted, exercised or forfeited in the first nine months of 2006. In the second quarter of 2005, 12,000 options were granted at fair market value on the date of grant pursuant to the Non-employee Directors Stock Option Plan. The estimated fair value of the options granted during prior years was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions as previously disclosed. | ||
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was lower by $3,000 and $9,000, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. The impact on both basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, |
Page 8
2006 was $0 per share in both periods. Pro forma net income (loss) as if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards is as follows: |

Accordingly, since VISaer had completed all of the requirements for revenue recognition, in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, VISaer recognized $1,779,000 in services revenue and $827,174 in cost of sales related to this contract, and recorded the refund amount as a liability of which $135,000 was recorded in other current liabilities and $311,000 in long-term liabilities at March 31, 2006, ($446,000 in total, which is equal to $512,000 discounted at 9.25%). At September 30, 2006, the amount related to this settlement that is included in current and long-term liabilities is $135,000 and $245,000, respectively. The liability, which is an obligation of VISaer, is not secured by any assets or guaranteed by the parent company. |
10. | Commitments and Contingencies Please refer to Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2005 Form 10-KSB for a description of our commitments and contingencies. There has been no material change since December 31, 2005 in the commitments described in such note, except that (i) the Contract Settlement referenced in Note 9 above involves a commitment by our VISaer subsidiary to make monthly payments of $14,222 each beginning April 1, 2006 until the $512,000 refund due its customer is paid in full and (ii) as a result of the sale of the QS operations and the assumption by the buyer of the QS facility lease, the amount of the Companys noncancelable operating leases shown in the above referenced Note 8 in the 2005 Form 10-KSB will be reduced by approximately $80,000-$88,000 annually through February 2011. | |
On August 11, 2006, the maturity date for the Companys $2 million bank line of credit was extended from September 1, 2006 to December 1, 2006 on the same terms and conditions. | ||
Legal Matters In December 2004, ChemFree filed a patent infringement action against J. Walter Co. Ltd. and J. Walter, Inc. in the United States Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The complaint alleges that certain of the defendants products infringe various U.S. patents held by ChemFree and seeks a ruling to compel defendant to cease its infringing activities. The defendant has asserted various defenses and a counterclaim. The case is pending and no trial date has been set. In 2005, ChemFree participated in an arbitration proceeding versus ZYMO International, Inc. (Zymo), a patent co-owner, that resulted in the issuance of a favorable arbitration ruling for ChemFree. In December 2005, ChemFree initiated a proceeding under the Federal Arbitration Act in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia to obtain judicial confirmation of the arbitration ruling and to arbitrate a number of other disputes between ChemFree and Zymo that fall within the arbitration provisions of the co-ownership agreement between the parties. In July 2006, the judge issued a ruling confirming ChemFrees request to compel arbitration. In the third quarter of 2006, an arbitrator was assigned and the initial submissions of the parties to the arbitrator are due in November 2006. While the resolution and timing of any legal action is not predictable, ChemFree believes it has sufficient grounds to prevail in these actions although there can be no assurance that the disputes will be resolved in its favor. | ||
ISC Guarantees - In conjunction with a Software License Agreement entered into on June 12, 2003 between our majority owned subsidiary, CoreCard Software, Inc. and a CoreCard customer, ISC entered into a letter of guarantee with the CoreCard customer. Under the guarantee, in the event that the Software License is terminated due to CoreCard discontinuing operations, ISC has guaranteed to make available at its expense up to four employees to provide technical assistance to the customer during a transition period of up to one year. The guarantee is limited to the amount paid by the customer to CoreCard under the Software License Agreement at the time of termination. The guarantee phases out upon the achievement of certain operational milestones by CoreCard or after five years, whichever occurs sooner. As of September 30, 2006, it does not appear probable that the guarantee will be paid; thus no amounts have been accrued with respect to this guarantee. |

In connection with and to facilitate a contract between Ardext Technologies, Inc., a privately held company in which ISC held a minority ownership, and an Ardext customer, ISC entered into agreements with Ardext and the customer to hold milestone payments by the customer totaling $150,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the customer requested a refund of the payments and ISC returned the $150,000 to the customer. ISC has no further obligations under the agreements. | ||
11. | New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, Share Based Payment, which replaces APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123. The change is effective for small business issuers for the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in financial statements the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. We adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. There was no material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. For a full discussion of the affect of the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123R, see Note 6. | |
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 clarifies that certain abnormal amounts of production related expenses should be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead. Further, it requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to conversion costs should be based on normal capacity of production facilities. FASB No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS No. 151 effective January 1, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. | ||
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements of certain assets, liabilities and items in stockholders equity that are measured at fair value. FASB No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, although early adoption is encouraged. The Company has not yet determined when it will adopt the standard or the impact that the adoption of the standard will have on its financial statements. |

| A change in revenue level at one of our subsidiaries may impact consolidated revenue or be offset by an opposing change at another subsidiary. | ||
| Economic and marketplace trends may impact our subsidiaries differently or not at all and two of our software subsidiaries have very limited experience in their marketplaces which makes it difficult to identify and evaluate trends that may impact their business. | ||
| Two of our software subsidiaries, CoreCard Software and VISaer, have been involved in major new product development initiatives for the past five years and have limited experience delivering and installing their new products at customer sites, making it difficult to predict with certainty when they will recognize revenue on individual software contracts. | ||
| Our subsidiaries are relatively small in revenue size and, in the Information Technology sector, license revenue at a subsidiary in a given period may consist of a relatively small number of contracts. Consequently, even small delays in a subsidiarys delivery under a software contract (which may be out of its control) could have a significant and unpredictable impact on consolidated revenue that we can recognize in a given quarterly or annual period. |

| Delays in software development projects which could cause our customers to delay implementations, delay payments or cancel contracts, which would increase our costs and reduce our revenue. |

| Undetected software errors or poor quality control which may delay product releases, increase our costs, result in non-acceptance of our software by customers or delay revenue recognition. |
| Competitive pressures (including pricing, changes in customer requirements and preferences, and competitor product offerings) which may cause prospective customers to choose an alternative product solution, resulting in lower revenue and profits (or increased losses). |
| The inability of our CoreCard or VISaer subsidiaries to establish a base of referenceable customers for their new product offerings, resulting in lower revenue and profits (or increased losses), increased cash needs and possibly leading to restructuring or cutting back of the subsidiarys operations. |
| Failure of our products specifications and features to achieve market acceptance. |
| The inability of our software subsidiaries to retain key software developers who have accumulated years of know-how in our target markets and Company products, or failure to attract and train a sufficient number of new software developers and testers to support our product development plans and customer requirements at projected cost levels. |
| Further increases in the price of oil, which could increase ChemFrees product costs and which could affect VISaers results if potential aviation customers delay or cancel purchases of software or services in the face of declining industry trends or poor financial condition. |
| Delays in anticipated customer payments for any reason which would increase our cash requirements and possibly our losses. |
| Declines in performance, financial condition or valuation of minority-owned companies which could cause us to write-down the carrying value of our investment or postpone an anticipated liquidity event, which could negatively impact our earnings and cash. |
| Increased operating expenses and diversion of resources related to compliance with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. |
| Negative trends affecting the commercial aviation industry worldwide which could impact VISaers short-term customer purchases, thus increasing its losses and need for cash. |
| In the Industrial Products market, failure by ChemFree to protect its intellectual property assets or to prevail in legal matters described in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, which could increase competition in the market place and result in greater price pressure and lower margins, thus impacting sales, profits and projected cash flow. |
| An insufficient number of potential CoreCard customers decide to purchase and run an in-house software system and instead choose to outsource their account transaction processing which could result in lower revenue and greater cash requirements. |
| Other general economic and political conditions, particularly those which may cause international business and domestic government customers to delay or cancel software purchases. |
