PART I


Item 1. Business


GBS Enterprises Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “GBS,” “GBSX,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms), through its subsidiaries, is a global provider of technology solutions for businesses and government agencies. We focus on developing and delivering solutions that help our customers to gain value and reduce cost in the development, deployment and management of the applications used in the course of conducting their business (“business applications”). We do this by building software and providing services that aid in:

¨Information Technology (“IT”) systems analysis, planning and management;
¨Automating business processes;
¨Optimizing system and application performance;
¨Ensuring the security and compliance of systems, applications and processes; and
¨Migrating and integrating systems, applications and processes.

Our customers include corporate and government IT departments, solutions integrators (“SIs”) and independent software vendors (“ISVs”). Our corporate customers are from a variety of industries, including insurance, financial services, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and education. The install-base of our software products spans more than 5,000,000 users in 38 countries on four continents. We principally market and sell our products and services directly in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Nordics and India; and indirectly through local distributors and resellers representing Australia, South America and regionally in Europe.

Our software and services are designed to mainly serve organizations that have investments in IBM’s Lotus® Notes and Domino platform. The IBM Lotus® Notes and Domino platform is both a system for enterprise email as well as an application platform, meaning that it can be used as both an email system and an environment in which business applications can be deployed and used. This platform was originally brought to market by Lotus Development Corp. in 1989, and was subsequently acquired by IBM in 1995. According to IBM, there were 145 million licenses sold worldwide for Lotus Notes through 2008 (Source: “Global Businesses Choosing Lotus Software” IBM Press Release January 15, 2009).

During the last five years, we, through our subsidiaries, have executed our strategy to acquire companies which have developed software and specialized services for the Lotus Notes and Domino market. This growth by acquisition strategy has resulted in less competition for our software products; a large concentration of highly skilled employees with unique expertise in the area of Lotus Notes and Domino; staff and physical offices on three continents providing greater access to a global market; significant market awareness and greater market share amongst organizations that use Lotus Notes and Domino; and a comprehensive portfolio of solutions specific to the needs and requirements of organizations which use Lotus Notes and Domino.

While our products and services remain in use and demand, over the last several years, the market itself has been undergoing a paradigm shift. New technologies, especially in the areas of Cloud Computing and Mobile applications, have grown in popularity due to the potential cost savings and operational efficiencies they can offer. As organizations make investments in these new technologies, they are faced with highly complex and costly projects to migrate (“migration”) or replace their existing systems that don’t operate in the cloud or on mobile devices (“modernization”) – this includes their existing email and business applications that run on Lotus Notes and Domino.

To that end, we have acquired and developed technologies that help organizations reduce the time, cost, resources and risks associated with these highly complex migration and modernization projects

General Corporate History

We were incorporated in Nevada on March 20, 2007 as SWAV Enterprises Ltd. (“SWAV”). SWAV was an importer and wholesaler of Chinese manufactured goods.

On April 26, 2010, SWAV purchased certain technology assets of Lotus Holdings Ltd. (“Lotus”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement in consideration for aggregate of 2,265,240 shares of SWAV common stock. Also on April 26, 2010, Lotus (on behalf of the SPPEF Members as discussed below) purchased an aggregate of 11,984,770 of the outstanding shares of common stock from the selling shareholders of SWAV in consideration for an aggregate purchase price of $370,000. As a result of the two sets of transactions, Lotus owned an aggregate of 14,250,010 shares of common stock of SWAV, representing approximately 95.0% of the 15,000,000 shares of SWAV common stock outstanding on April 26, 2010.

On September 6, 2010, SWAV’s name was changed to GBS Enterprises Incorporated. On October 14, 2010, the Company’s trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board was changed from SWAV to GBSX.

About Lotus Holdings, Ltd.

Lotus is a holding company which was formed under the laws of Gibraltar for the purpose of financing merger and acquisition projects, specifically in the niche market of small or microcap companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with complex shareholder structures and whose stock is trading below one Euro (€1.00) per share.

SPPEFs

Lotus typically finances its merger and acquisition projects through the use of Special Purpose Private Equity Funds (“SPPEFs”). Typically, SPPEFs are funded by a company’s major shareholders (the “Major Shareholders”) seeking to raise capital for projects and who fund at least 50% of the SPPEF, with the remaining portion being provided through the investment community and network of investors in Lotus. Each SPPEF is co-managed by a representative of the company’s Major Shareholders (the “Representative Secretary”) and an attorney appointed by Lotus (the “Lotus Representative”).

On February 25, 2010, a group of shareholders (the “GROUP Major Shareholders”) of GROUP Software AG, a German public company trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “INW” (“GROUP”), engaged Lotus to provide financial consulting and advisory services, on a non-exclusive basis, for the primary task of establishing a SPPEF. On March 12, 2010, the GROUP Major Shareholders and Lotus established and funded a SPPEF with $1,400,000, consisting of $1,000,000 from the GROUP Major Shareholders and $400,000 from a Lotus investor (collectively, the “SPPEF Members”).

In early April 2010, the SPPEF Members decided to acquire SWAV. As disclosed above, on April 26, 2010, Lotus, on behalf of the SPPEF Members, acquired an aggregate of 11,984,770 shares of SWAV common stock from the selling shareholders of SWAV for an aggregate purchase price of $370,000. The 11,984,770 shares of SWAV common stock shares represented approximately 79.9% of the 15,000,000 outstanding shares of SWAV common stock on April 26, 2010. Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the then executive officers and directors of SWAV resigned and Mr. Joerg Ott, the Chief Executive Officer of GROUP and a GROUP Major Shareholder, was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of SWAV and sole member of SWAV’s Board of Directors.

Transactions following the acquisition

On November 1, 2010, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 3,043,985 of the 11,984,770 shares of the Company’s common stock originally purchased by Lotus on April 26, 2010. In consideration for the 3,043,985 shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company issued to Lotus a Secured Demand Note, dated November 1, 2010 (the “First Demand Note”), for the principal amount of $300,000 bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum. The First Demand Note was repaid in September 2011.

Effective December 30, 2010, pursuant to securities purchase agreements between the Company and six GROUP Major Shareholders, the Company purchased an aggregate of 7,115,500 shares of GROUP common stock from the six GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate for 3,043,985 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “December Transaction”). As a result the Company owned approximately 28.2% of the outstanding common stock of GROUP.

Reverse Merger

After the December Transaction was completed, the additional GROUP Major Shareholders decided to accept the share swap offer from the Company and to effectuate a reverse merger of GROUP and the Company. To effectuate the reverse merger, on January 5, 2011, the Company repurchased from Lotus an aggregate of 2,361,426 of the 11,984,770 shares of the Company’s common stock originally purchased by Lotus on April 26, 2010. In consideration for these 2,361,426 shares, the Company issued to Lotus a Secured Demand Note, dated January 5, 2011 (the “Second Demand Note”), for the principal amount of $200,000 bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum. The Second Demand Note was repaid in November 2011.

Effective January 6, 2011, pursuant to securities purchase agreements between the Company and the remaining GROUP Major Shareholders, the Company purchased an aggregate of 5,525,735 shares of GROUP common stock from the remaining GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate of 2,361,426 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “January Transaction”). The 5,525,735 GROUP shares represented approximately 21.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of GROUP. As a result of the December Transaction and January Transaction, the Company purchased an aggregate of 12,641,235 shares of GROUP from the GROUP Major Shareholders in consideration for an aggregate of 5,405,411 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in the Company owning approximately 50.1% of the outstanding common stock of GROUP and effectuating a reverse merger of the Company and GROUP whereby GROUP became the accounting acquirer.

Additional Acquisition

On February 27, 2012, the Company acquired an additional 883,765 shares of common stock of GROUP to maintain its 50.1% ownership of GROUP. On February 27, 2012, an outstanding loan of GROUP Business Softwarewas converted into an aggregate of 1,750,000 shares of GROUP common stock, thereby increasing GROUP’s outstanding common stock to 26,982,000 shares. As a result of the foregoing increase in the number of outstanding shares of GROUP common stock, the Company increased its ownership of GROUP common stock to an aggregate of 13,525,000 shares, representing approximately 50.1% of the outstanding common stock of GROUP. The Company purchased the 883,765 shares of GROUP common stock from GAVF LLC for an average purchase price of $0.70 per share, or approximately $619,000.

Executive Offices

Our principal executive office is located at 585 Molly Lane, Woodstock, Georgia 30189 and our telephone number is (404) 474-7256. We maintain a website at www.gbsx.us. GROUP maintains a website atwww.gbs.com. The information contained in the Company’s and GROUP’s websites is not incorporated by reference herein.

Revenue Model

GBS generates its revenue from the sale of software developed by us and third-parties and delivery of related services, including IT systems planning, administration, support, hosting, implementation and integration.

Products & Services Overview

Our software products are generally sold with a perpetual license and a related support and maintenance contract. Maintenance contracts entitle our software customers to periodic software updates and phone or email support during the life of the contract. The minimum maintenance contract term is one year, but frequently spans two to three years.

Our software products portfolio includes a comprehensive suite of business applications that include Email and Instant Messaging Management, Customer Relationship Management, Workflow and Project Management, Document Management, and Reporting and Analysis Tools.

Service revenue is generated from a wide range of consulting and professional services, such as custom application development; optimization, integration and upgrade services; and IT systems administration, management, and hosting.

Our services organization encompasses staff on three continents, giving us better ability to serve customers globally.

Strategy and Focus Areas

While our products and services remain in demand, we see a significant opportunity to achieve growth and secure our future with additional investments in our strategic portfolio. Based on current market demands for modern, Cloud-based and mobile-device capable business applications, we have acquired and developed a set of unique technologies that help organizations to reduce the time, cost, resources and risks associated with modernizing or migrating their existing applications.

One of the pillars of our growing strategic portfolio is GROUP Live, our cloud automation platform-as-a-service (PaaS). Our Management believes that GROUP Live is especially compelling because it is technology agnostic. Technology agnostic means that, unlike many other PaaS solutions, it does not require that the applications running on the platform are built on a specific programming language or application platform. What this means for our customers is that many of their existing applications can be delivered via our PaaS without any changes to the existing application code. This enables customers to take advantage of many of the benefits that Cloud Computing can offer, such as lower operational costs, and faster and more cost-effective expansion of system resources, without having to completely replace their business applications and migrate their data to a new system.

We generate revenue with our cloud automation platform from subscription and usage fees and related services, including support and strategic consulting services. The subscription period is typically based on a yearly or multi-year contract with our customers. Additionally, we generate revenue from consulting around utilizing our cloud platform services.

Another pillar of our strategic portfolio is a suite of tools and methodologies we have developed to rapidly convert Lotus Notes applications into web and mobile applications through automated conversion processes. This portfolio includes a set of powerful analysis tools known as Insights that identify all of the Lotus Notes applications within an organization and provide metrics about the uses and users of those applications. Because of the nature of Lotus Notes and Domino, the applications within a customer environment tend to be highly distributed and number in the thousands. For many organizations, this fact alone makes it extremely difficult to plan for projects that involve modernizing these applications for use in a browser and on mobile devices or migrating them to another platform. Our technologies help them to dramatic reduce the cost, risk, time and resources associated with these highly complex projects.

We generate revenue with our analysis tools by charging a fee for the use of our technology and for the associated cost of the services to produce a report and set of recommendations for the customer. Additional revenues come from consulting services that result from helping our customers to implement those recommendations. For use of our conversion tools, referred to as Transformer, we change a flat fee for the conversion and additional hourly rates to perform additional supporting development or testing as needed.

In addition to our own sales activities we have established partner agreements for the use of the analysis and conversion tools with partners in Australia, Brazil and directly with IBM through its IBM Software Services for Collaboration.

The anticipated roll out is planned to begin in mid-year 2011 in IBM’s Data Centers, which, has an estimated target market of an additional 10,000 customers.

Furthermore, GROUP is currently negotiating a Reseller Agreement with IBM’s Lotus Software Division that would make it possible for IBM to bundle specific technology developed by GROUP and sell them as an integrated product solution through IBM sales channel.  This bundle will allow IBM to provide its cloud based Lotus email solution customer base (IBM Lotus Live) to transform and run all their existing Lotus based applications in the cloud. The Reseller Agreement would provide GROUP with ongoing subscription and service based revenues. 

In addition to the significant growth potential anticipated through its multiple partnerships with IBM, GROUP also has the potential for dramatic growth from large strategic partnerships such as with major OEM players, data centers, ISV’s as well as a variety of large enterprise class and medium sized end users who are interested in having their own private clouds. GROUP also intends pursue highly attractive opportunities with a wide variety of other vendors including Computer Associates, Dell, HP, Accenture, and Amazon, as well as with specialized distributors and system integrators.

2011 Private Placement

On March 11, 2011 and March 29, 2011, the Company consummated a private placement offering of an aggregate of 6,044,000 Units at a purchase price of $1.25 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $7,555,000.  Each Unit was comprised of one share of Common Stock and one three-year Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Warrants are only exercisable by the payment of cash.

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the holders of the Warrants are required to exercise their Warrants in the event our Common Stock trades at an average of at least $3.00 per share for a period of not less than 20 consecutive trading days.  Also, throughout the three year exercise period of the Warrants, the Company has the right to redeem the Warrants for $0.05 per share.  The Company has agreed to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a Registration Statement on Form S-1. As of March 31, 2011, none of the Warrants have been exercised or redeemed.
If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable upon the exercise of the Warrants into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by any reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately increased. Upon each adjustment of the exercise price pursuant to the provision above, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted exercise price. No adjustment of the exercise price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the exercise price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such exercise price.

Item 1A. Risk Factors


You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this annual report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities.

Risks Related to Our Business


We have a limited operational history.


We have a limited history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. Our proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of a business operation in an emerging industry, and the continued development of advertising, promotions, and a corresponding customer base. There is a possibility that we could sustain losses in the future, and there are no assurances that we will ever operate profitably.


Ongoing uncertainty regarding the duration and extent of the recovery from the recent economic downturn and in global economic conditions generally may reduce information technology spending below current expectations and therefore adversely impact our revenues, impede end user adoption of new products and product upgrades and adversely impact our competitive position.


Our business depends on the overall demand for information technology and on the economic health of our current and prospective customers. The purchase of our products is often discretionary and may involve a significant commitment of capital and other resources. Weak economic conditions or significant uncertainty regarding the recovery from the recent economic downturn could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in a number of ways, including by lengthening sales cycles (for example, ELAs), lowering prices for our products and services, reducing unit sales, decreasing or reversing quarterly growth in our revenues, reducing the rate of adoption of our products by new customers and the willingness of current customers to purchase upgrades to our existing products.


The recent global economic disruption also resulted in general and ongoing tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity and increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, while the potential for extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets continues. As a result, current or potential customers may be unable to fund software purchases, which could cause them to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our products and services. Even if customers are willing to purchase our products and services, if they do not meet our credit requirements, we may not be able to record accounts receivable or deferred revenue or recognize revenues from these customers until we receive payment, which could adversely affect the amount of revenues we are able to recognize in a particular period.

7

Our business could be adversely impacted by conditions affecting the information technology market.

The demand for our products and services depends substantially upon the general demand for business-related computer appliances and software, which fluctuates based on numerous factors, including capital spending levels, the spending levels and growth of our current and prospective customers, and general economic conditions. Fluctuations in the demand for our products and services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, the purchase of our products is often discretionary and may involve a significant commitment of capital and other resources. Future economic projections for the information technology sector are uncertain as companies continue to reassess their spending for technology projects. If an uncertain environment for information technology spending continues, it could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face intense competition, which could result in fewer customer orders and reduced revenues and margins.

We sell our products in intensely competitive markets. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing and other resources than we do.  As the markets for our products and services continue to develop, additional companies, including companiesthose with significant market presence in the computer appliances, software and networking industries, could enter the markets in which we compete and further intensify competition. In addition, we believe price competition could become a more significant competitive factor in the future. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our historic prices and margins, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.


We are highly dependent on the services of Joerg Ott, our President, CEO and Chairman.
Our success depends and will depend on the efforts and abilities of key personnel, such as high qualified software developers, service consultants and management, especially Mr. Joerg Ott, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The loss of Mr. Ott would have a material adverse effect on us.

If we lose key personnel or cannot hire enough qualified officers and/ or employees in certain areas of our business, our ability to manage our business could be adversely affected.

Our success depends and will depend on the efforts and abilities of our key personnel, such as highly qualified software developers, service consultants and management. We are highly dependent on our senior management, Joerg Ott and other key officers. The loss of such key officers and/ or the loss of their specific knowledge would have a material adverse effect to us. Our success also depends, in large part, upon the services of a number of key employees in certain areas of our business. Except for certain key employees, weWe do not have long-term employment agreements with anyall of our key personnel. Any officer or employee can terminate his or her relationship with us at any time. The effective management of our growth, if any, could depend upon our ability to retain our highly-skilledhighly skilled managerial, technical, sales and services, finance and marketing personnel in certain areas of our business. If any of those employees leave, we will need to attract and retain replacements for them. We also may need to add key personnel in the future, including in certain key areas of our business. The market for these qualified employees is competitive. We could find it difficult to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel in sufficient numbers. Furthermore, we may hire key personnel in connection with our future acquisitions; however, any of these employees will be able to terminate his or her relationship with us at any time. If we cannot retain and add the necessary staff and resources for these acquired businesses, our ability to develop acquired products, markets and customers could be adversely affected. Also, we may need to hire additional personnel to develop new products, product enhancements and technologies. If we cannot add the necessary staff and resources, our ability to develop future enhancements and features to our existing or future products could be delayed. Any delays could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our current operational strategy is dependent on IBM.


We, through our 50.1% ownership of GROUP Business Software AG, are the world’s largest supplier of applications for IBM’s Lotus Notes and Domino markets.  GROUP also markets its Cloud Automation Platform (CAP) and Domino Application Transfer (DAT) software, which automatically transforms applications to the Cloud.  We expect much of our growth in the near term to come from our CAP and DAT solutions.solutions Should IBM choose not to longer promote theseits Lotus Notes products, we might not see theour anticipated growth we are anticipatingavenues may be adversely affected. We would likely seek to shift our operations to concentrate more heavily on migration and our business could be materially adversely affected resulting in the loss of some or all of your investment in our Common Stock.


modernization solutions such as Group Live and Transformer.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.


We must continually implement and improve our products and/or services, operations, operating procedures and quality controls on a timely basis, as well as expand, train, motivate and manage our work force in order to accommodate anticipated growth and compete effectively in our market segment. Successful implementation of our strategy also requires that we establish and manage a competent, dedicated work force and employ additional key employees in corporate management, product design, client service and sales. We can give no assurance that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our existing and future operations. If we fail to implement andcontinuously improve theseour operations, there could be a material, adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

8

If we do not develop new products and services or enhancements to our existing products and services, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The markets for our products and services are characterized by:

by rapid technological change;
changes, evolving industry standards;
standards, fluctuations in customer demand;
demand, changes in customer requirements;requirements and
frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements.

Our future success depends on our ability to continually enhance our current products and services and develop and introduce new products and services that our customers choose to buy. If we are unable to keep pace with technological developments and customer demands by introducing new products and services and enhancements, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Our future success could be hindered by:

delays in our introduction of new products and services;
delays in market acceptance of new products and services or new releases of our current products and services; and
our, or a competitor’s, announcement of new product or service enhancements or technologies that could replace or shorten the life cycle of our existing product and service offerings.
In order for a number of our products to succeed in the future, we believe the demand for technology will need to shift from the types of products and services we and our competitors have sold in the past to a new generation of products we now offer. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or new product announcements by others. If we experience material delays or sales shortfalls with respect to our new products and services or new releases of our current products and services, those delays or shortfalls could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unable to effectively control our operating expenses, which could negatively impact our profitability.

Although we endeavor to effectively control our operating expenses, these expenses, which are based on estimated revenue levels, are relatively fixed in the short term. We cannot assure youensure that our operating expenses will be lower than our estimated or actual revenues in any given quarter or that we will not incur unanticipated expenses. If we experience a shortfall in revenue in any given quarter or if we incur material unanticipated expenses, we likely will not be able to further reduce operating expenses quickly in response. Any significant shortfall in revenue or the incurrence of material unanticipated expenses could immediately and adversely affect our results of operations for that quarter. Also, due to the fixed nature of many of our expenses and the challenges for revenue growth in the current environment, our income from operations and cash flows from operating and investing activities could be lower than in recent years.

In addition, to the extent our revenue grows, if at all, we believe that our cost of revenues and certain operating expenses could also increase. We believe that we could incur additional costs as we develop, license or buy new technologies or enhancements to our existing products and services. These added costs and royalties could increase our cost of revenues and operating expenses and lower our gross margins. However, we cannot currently quantify the costs for such transactions that have not yet occurred or of these developing trends in our business. In addition, we may need to use a substantial portion of our cash and investments or issue additional shares of our common stock to fund these additional costs.

Acquisitions present many risks, and we may not realize the financial and strategic goals we anticipate at the time of an acquisition.

9

Our growth is dependent upon market growth, our ability to enhance existing products and services, and our ability to introduce new products and services on a timely basis. We intend to continue to address the need to develop new products and services and enhance existing products and services through acquisitions of other companies, product lines and/or technologies. However, acquisitions, including those of high-technology companies, are inherently risky. We cannot provide any assurance that any of our previous acquisitions, including our acquisition of the assets of Lotus Holdings and 50.1% of GROUP, or future acquisitions will be successful in helping us reach our financial and strategic goals either for that acquisition or for us generally or that the combined company resulting from any acquisition will continue to support the growth achieved by the companies separately.

The risks we may encounter in managing and integrating acquisitions are:

difficulties

 •difficulties and delays integrating the operations, technologies, and products of the acquired companies;

undetected

 •undetected errors or unauthorized use of a third-party’s code in products of the acquired companies;

the

 •the diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of the business;

potential

 •potential difficulties in completing projects associated with purchased in-process research and development;

entry

 •entry into markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors have stronger market positions and which are highly competitive;

the

 •the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company; and

an

 •an uncertain revenue and earnings stream from the acquired company, which could unexpectedly dilute our earnings.

Our failure to manage growth effectively and successfully integrate acquired companies due to these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Attractive acquisition opportunities may not be available to us, which could negatively affect the growth of our business.

Our business strategy includes the selective acquisition of businesses and technologies, such as our acquisition of GROUP in NovemberDecember 2010 and January 2011. We plan to continue to seek opportunities to expand our product portfolio, customer base, technology, and technical talent through acquisitions. However, we may not have the opportunity to make suitable acquisitions on favorable terms in the future, which could negatively impact the growth of our business. We expect that other companies in our industry will compete with us to acquire compatible businesses. This competition could increase prices for businesses and technologies that we would likely pursue, and our competitors may have greater resources than we do to complete these acquisitions.

We could change our licensing programs or subscription renewal programs, which could negatively impact the timing of our recognition of revenue.

We continually re-evaluate our licensing programs and subscription renewal programs, including specific license models, delivery methods, and terms and conditions, to market our current and future products and services. We could implement new licensing programs and subscription renewal programs, including promotional trade-up programs or offering specified enhancements to our current and future product and service lines. Such changes could result in deferring revenue recognition until the specified enhancement is delivered or at the end of the contract term as opposed to upon the initial shipment or licensing of our software product. We could implement different licensing models in certain circumstances, for which we would recognize licensing fees over a longer period, including offering additional products in a software-as-a-service model. Changes to our licensing programs and subscription renewal programs, including the timing of the release of enhancements, upgrades, maintenance releases, the term of the contract, discounts, promotions and other factors, could impact the timing of the recognition of revenue for our products, related enhancements and services and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

As our international sales and operations grow, we could become increasingly subject to additional risks that could harm our business.
We conduct significant sales and customer support, development and engineering operations in countries outside of the United States. Our continued growth and profitability could require us to further expand our international operations. To successfully expand international sales, we must establish additional foreign operations, hire additional personnel and recruit additional international resellers. In addition, there is significant competition for entry into high growth markets, such as China. Our international operations are subject to a variety of risks, which could cause fluctuations in the results of our international operations. These risks include:
compliance with foreign regulatory and market requirements;
10

variability of foreign economic, political and labor conditions;
changing restrictions imposed by regulatory requirements, tariffs or other trade barriers or by U.S. export laws;
longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
potentially adverse tax consequences;
difficulties in protecting intellectual property;
burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws; and
as we generate cash flow in non-U.S. jurisdictions, if required, we may experience difficulty transferring such funds to the U.S. in a tax efficient manner.
Our results of operations are also subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to minimize the impact on our operating results, we generally initiate our hedging of currency exchange risks one year in advance of anticipated foreign currency expenses for those currencies to which we have the greatest exposure. When the dollar is weak, foreign currency denominated expenses will be higher, and these higher expenses will be partially offset by the gains realized from our hedging contracts. If the dollar is strong, foreign currency denominated expenses will be lower. These lower expenses will in turn be partially offset by the losses incurred from our hedging contracts. There is a risk that there will be fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates beyond the one year timeframe for which we hedge our risk.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate and address these risks. We cannot guarantee that these or other factors will not adversely affect our business or operating results.

Security vulnerabilities in our products could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Maintaining the security of computing devices and networks is a critical issue for us and our customers. We devote significant resources to address security vulnerabilities in our products and services through engineering more secure products and services, enhancing security and reliability features in our products and services, deploying security updates to address security vulnerabilities and seeking to respond to known security incidents in sufficient time to minimize any potential adverse impact. The cost of these measures could reduce our operating margins. Despite these efforts, actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products and systems may lead to claims against us and harm our reputation, and could lead some customers to seek to return products, to stop using certain products or services, to reduce or delay future purchases of our products or services, or to use competing products or services. Customers may also increase their expenditures on protecting their existing computer systems from attack, which could delay adoption of new technologies. Further, if our customers suffer any losses or are otherwise harmed in connection with a security incident related to our products or services, we could be subject to liability claims from our customers. Any of these actions by customers could adversely impact our results of operations.

Our efforts to protect our intellectual property may not be successful, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our source code and other intellectual property. The loss of any material trade secret, trademark, trade name, patent or copyright could have a material adverse effect on our business. Despite our precautions, it could be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy, disclose or reverse engineer certain portions of our products or to otherwise obtain and use our proprietary source code, in which case we could potentially lose future trade secret protection for that source code. If we cannot protect our proprietary source code against unauthorized copying, disclosure or use, unauthorized third parties could develop products similar to or better than ours.

Any patents applied for by us could eventually not be granted or any patent owned by us could be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. Any of our pending or future patent applications, whether or not being currently challenged, may not be issued with the scope we seek, if at all; and if issued, may not provide any meaningful protection or competitive advantage.

In addition, our ability to protect our proprietary rights could be affected by differences in international law and the enforceability of licenses. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and Canada. For example, we derive a significant portion of our sales from licensing our products under “click-to-accept” license agreements that are not signed by licensees and electronic enterprise customer licensing arrangements that are delivered electronically, all of which could be unenforceable under the laws of many foreign jurisdictions in which we license our products.

Our products, including products obtained through acquisitions, could infringe third-party intellectual property rights, which could result in material litigation costs.

We are increasingly subject to infringement claims and may in the future be subject to claims alleging the unauthorized use of a third-party’s code in our products. This may occur for a variety of reasons, including the expansion of our product lines through product development and acquisitions; an increase in patent infringement litigation commenced by non-practicing entities; the increase in the number of competitors in our industry segments and the resulting increase in the number of related products and the overlap in the functionality of those products; and the unauthorized use of a third-party’s code in our product development process. Companies and inventors are more frequently seeking to patent software despite recent developments in the law that may discourage or invalidate such patents. As a result, we could receive more patent infringement claims. Responding to any infringement claim, regardless of its validity, could result in costly litigation costs, monetary damages or injunctive relief or require us to obtain a license to intellectual property rights of those third parties. Licenses may not be available on reasonable terms, on terms compatible with the protection of our proprietary rights, or at all. In addition, attention to these claims could divert our management’s time and attention from developing our business. If a successful claim is made against us and we fail to develop or license a substitute technology or negotiate a suitable settlement arrangement, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In particular, a material adverse impact on our financial statements could occur in the period in which the effect of an unfavorable final outcome becomes probable and reasonably estimable.


Security

Perceived risks in Cloud Computing could negatively influence buyers.

As the Cloud market develops, adoption could be adversely affected due to concerns with data security and the reliability is the number one concern of Cloud Computer users.


11

Lack of control augments consumers’ perception of Cloud Computingthird party IT infrastructures and software. Although security and reliability including connectivity outages which could cause large lack of productivity and financial losses. Although security risks maycan be minimized by having cloud computing in a smaller cloud, having a smaller cloud or clouds would likely negate to many extentsmitigated, the cost and scalability effectsmere perception of cloud computing. Cloud Computing flaws, whether actual or perceived,these risks could hinder our ability to grow our Company’s business.

Risks related to the disclosure of confidential information of core technology.

The independently developed technologies by us, contracts with partners and agreements with cooperated system integrators are all confidential information. We have established strict access limitation level for the personnel in the Company to review and use such information by signing Non-disclosure Agreements with relevant people. The usage and disclosure of such information have been managed stringently by the Company. We also sign a long-term engagement contract with the core technical people who may hold major technologies of the Company. Despite the foregoing measurements adopted by the Company, we cannot assure the confidential information will not be disclosed definitely.

Systems failures could harm our business.

Temporary or permanent outages of our computers or software equipment could have an adverse effect on our business. Although we have not experienced any catastrophic outages to date, we currently do not have fully redundant systems for our web sites and other services at an alternate site. Therefore, our systems are vulnerable to damage from break-ins, unauthorized access, vandalism, fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. Although we maintain insurance against fires, earthquakes and general business interruptions, the amount of coverage

we have might be insufficient.

Experienced computer programmers seeking to intrude or cause harm, or hackers, may attempt to penetrate our network security from time to time. Although we

We have not experienced any catastrophic security breaches to date,date. However, if a hacker were to penetrate our network security, they could misappropriate proprietary information, cause interruptions in our services, dilute the value of our offerings to customers and damage customer relationships. We might be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against, or to alleviate, problems caused by hackers. We also may not have a timely remedy against a hacker who is able to penetrate our network security. In addition to purposeful security breaches, the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could expose us to system damage, operational disruption, loss of data, litigation and other risks of loss or harm.

We depend on continued performance of and improvements to our computer network.

Any failure of our computer systems that causes interruption of our services could result in a loss of business. If sustained or repeated, these performance issues could reduce the attractiveness of our services to consumers and our subscription products and services. Increases in the volume of our web site traffic could also strain the capacity of our existing computer systems, which could lead to slower response times or system failures. We may not be able to project accurately the rate, timing or cost of any increases in our business, or to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate any increases in a timely manner.


Internet commerce security threats could pose a risk to our online sales and overall financial performance.


A significant barrier to online commerce is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of confidential information. There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities; new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments will not result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms used by us and our partners to protect consumer’s transaction data. If any such compromise of security were to occur, it could have a materially adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet and the privacy of users may also hinder the growth of online services generally, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions. To the extent that our activities, our partners or third-party contractors involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, security breaches could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. There can be no assurance that our security measures will not prevent security breaches or that failure to prevent such security breaches will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.


Risk of Capacity Constraints; Reliance on Internally Developed Systems; System Development Risks.


A key element of our strategy is to generate a high volume of traffic on, and use of, our services across our network infrastructure and systems. Accordingly, the satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our software systems, transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure are critical to our reputation and our ability to attract and retain customers, as well as maintain adequate customer service levels. Our revenues depend on the number of visitors who sign up for our services. Any systems interruptions that result in the unavailability of our software systems or network infrastructure would reduce the volume of sign ups and the attractiveness of our service offerings. We may experience periodic systems interruptions from time to time. Any substantial increase in the volume of traffic on our software systems or network infrastructure will require us to expand and upgrade further our technology, transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure. There can be no assurance that we will be able to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our Web site or timely expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate such increases. We will use a combination of industry supplied software and internally developed software and systems for our search engine, distribution network, and substantially all aspects of transaction processing, including order management, cash and credit card processing, and accounting and financial systems. Any substantial disruptions or delays in any of our systems would have a materially adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.


12

Storage of personal information about our customers could pose a security threat.


Our policy is not to willfully disclose any individually identifiable information about any user to a third party without the user’s consent. This policy is accessible to users of our services when they initially register. Despite this policy, however, if third persons were able to penetrate our network security or otherwise misappropriate our users’ personal information or credit card information, we could be subject to liability. These could include claims for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims. They could also include claims for other misuses of personal information, such as for unauthorized marketing purposes. These claims could result in litigation. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission and other states have been investigating certain Internet companies regarding their use of personal information. We could incur additional expenses if new regulations regarding the use of personal information are introduced or if they chose to investigate our privacy practices.

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors against lawsuits to the fullest extent of the law.


We are a Nevada corporation. Nevada law permits the indemnification of officers and directors against expenses incurred in successfully defending against a claim. A summaryPursuant to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent possible under the Nevada law with respect to indemnification is summarized below.


We currently do not maintain any insurance coverage.law. In the event that we are found liable for damage or other losses, we would incur substantial and protracted losses in paying any such claims or judgments. We have not maintained liabilityPursuant to those certain letter agreements entered into between the Company and their Officers and each independent director of the Company’s Board of Directors appointed as of March 1, 2012, the Company is also contractually obligated to indemnify each independent director to the fullest extent possible under Nevada law and has obtained Director and Officer insurance coverage in the past, but intend to acquire such coverage immediately upon resources becoming available.amount of $5,000,000 per occurrence. There is no guarantee, however, that we can secure such coverage or that any insurance coverage would protect us from any damages or loss claims filed against it.

We may engageare exposed to fluctuations in transactionscurrency exchange rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition and operating results.

Our sales revenue is derived from customers worldwide, and is therefore subject to foreign currency risk. Unstable currency exchange rates that present conflicts of interest.


Our officersresult in dramatic fluctuations against the U.S. Dollar could adversely affect our financial condition and membersoperating results. If we are not able to successfully hedge against the risks associated with currency fluctuations, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Liquidity is essential to our businesses and we rely on the planned success of our Boardstrategic product lines.

The liquidity of Directorsthe company is tight and that the valuation and validity of the intangible fixed assets and of the financial fixed assets are depending on the success of the strategic product lines especially but not limited to the area of Applications Modernization. Due to limited business history especially but not limited to Applications Modernization our business plan contains multiple risks and uncertainties. To achieve the planned success is material to us.

Our working capital requirements may enter into agreementsnegatively affect our liquidity and capital resources.

Our working capital requirements can vary significantly, depending in part on the level, variability and timing of our customers decisions especially but not limited to applications modernization projects and the payment terms with the Companyour customers. If our working capital needs exceed our cash flows from timeoperations, we would look to timeour cash balances and availability for borrowings or other adequate financial resources to satisfy those needs, as well as potential sources of additional capital, which may not be equivalent to similar transactions entered into with an independent third party. A conflictavailable on satisfactory terms and in adequate amounts, if at all.

This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of interest arises whenever a person has an interest on both sides of a transaction.

We are dependent on major customers for future revenue. The loss of all or a substantial portion of our sales to any transaction will meetof these requirements in every instance.

customers or the loss of marketshare by these customers could have a material adverse impact on us.

We highly depend for a substantial portion of our net sales especially but not limited to applications modernization projects. The loss of all or a substantial portion of our sales to any of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations by reducing cash flows and our ability to spread costs over a larger revenue base. We may make fewer sales to these customers for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: (1) loss of awarded business; (2) reduced or delayed customer requirements; (3) strikes or other work stoppages affecting production by the customers; or (4) reduced demand for our customers’ products.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If the trading price of our common stock falls below $5.00 per share, the open-market trading of our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”.  The term “accreditedaccredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.  Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.  We believe the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

13


FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer.  Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.  Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.  FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

The price of our shares of common stock in the future may be volatile.


The market price of our common stock could be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including: technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors; additions or departures of key personnel; sales of our common stock; our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services; our ability to execute our business plan; operating results below expectations; loss of any strategic relationships; industry developments; economic and other external factors; and period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. Because we have a very limited operating history with no revenues to date, you may consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Stockholders should have no expectation of any dividends.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore.  To date, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends.  The board of directors does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its Annual Report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective. Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

2011 Stock Option Plan

On March 30, 2011, the Board of Directors adopted a stock incentive program entitled the 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. As of March 31, 2011,2012, the Company didstockholders have not approved of the Plan nor has the Company granted any awards under the Plan. Below is a summary of the Plan. It is qualified in its entirety by the contents of the Plan.

Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to provide the directors, officers, employees and consultants who make significant and extraordinary contributions to the long-term growth and performance of the Company, with equity-based compensation incentives, and to attract and retain employees and consultants. The Company believes that increased share ownership by such persons will more closely align stockholder and employee interests by encouraging a greater focus on the profitability of the Company. There is reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of five million (5,000,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All of such shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under the Plan (“Stock Options”). Stock Options granted under the Plan may be options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" (“ISOs”) under Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or options not intended to qualify, so-called “nonqualified stock options” (“NQSOs”).

Plan Administration

The Plan is administered by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) or a committee (the "Committee") thereof, if appointed by the Board. The Board (or Committee) will have full and complete authority, in its discretion, but subject to the express provisions of the Plan (a) to approve the persons to be granted stock options (“Optionee”); (b) to determine the number of and type of Stock Options to be granted to an Optionee; (c) to determine the time or times at which Stock Options will be granted; (d) to establish the terms and conditions upon which Stock Options may be exercised; (d) to remove or adjust any restrictions and conditions upon Stock Options; (e) to specify, at the time of grant, provisions relating to exercisability of Stock Options and to accelerate or otherwise modify the exercisability of any Stock Options; and (f) to adopt such rules and regulations and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2011Plan.

Plan Eligibility

The group of individuals eligible to receive Options will consist only of the following (the “Eligible Participants”):

a. Directors and Officers of the Company,

b. Employees of the Company and Management Company Employees, and

c. Certain consultants of the Company, except as provided herein.

Consultants may be eligible to receive Options only if they have furnished bona fide services to the Company and such services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.

Shares Subject to this Plan

The maximum number of shares of the Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Options granted under the Plan is five million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for any stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and similar changes in the capital structure of the Company.

Grants of Stock Options

The Board, or if appointed, Committee, has the discretion to grant Stock Options which qualify as “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”) under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or which do not qualify, so-called “nonqualified stock options” (“NQSOs”). To qualify as an ISO under the Code, the Stock Option generally must (among other things) (x) be granted only to employees, (y) have an Equity Compensationexercise price equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant, and (z) terminate if not exercised within ten (10) years from the date of grant (or five years if granted to an Optionee who, at the time the ISO is granted, directly or indirectly, holds more than 10% of the total voting power of our Company).  Except in certain limited instances (including termination for cause, death, or disability), if any Optionee ceases to provide services to our Company, the Optionee’s rights to exercise vested ISOs will expire within three months following the date of termination.

To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other Incentive Stock Option Plans of the Company) exceed $100,000, such Stock Options will be treated as NQSOs and will not qualify as ISOs.

In the case of an ISO granted to an Eligible Participant who at the time of the grant of such ISI owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, such ISO may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the ISO is granted.

No ISOs will be granted under this Plan more than ten (10) years after the date that the Plan is adopted or approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier.

No ISO will be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date it is granted; provided, however, that the case of an Eligible Participant who at the time of grant owns Common Stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary, the ISO Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant.

Exercise Price

In order to qualify as an ISO, a Stock Option must have an exercise price equal to no less than the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock as of the date of grant. In the case of an ISO granted to a Eligible Participant who at the time of the grant owns Common Stock representing more than ten (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, the per share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant.

Under the Plan, the exercise price of an NQSO granted under the Plan may not be less than:

a.the Discounted Market Price (as defined by the exchange on which the Common Stock is listed) if the Common Stock is listed on an established stock exchange at the time of the grant, or

b.85% of the Fair Market Value if the Common Stock is not listed on an established stock exchange, but is listed or quoted, as the case may be, on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, the NASD OTC electronic bulletin board or the National Quotation Bureau pink sheets at the time of the grant of the Option.

If the shares of Common Stock become listed on another stock exchange, then the exercise price will not be less than the exercise price permitted by such exchange.  

Fair Market Value

Under the Plan, "Fair Market Value" means, as of any date, the value of Common Stock determined as follows:

(a)if the Common Stock is listed on an established stock exchange, exchanges, or the NASDAQ National Market, the closing price per share on the last trading day immediately preceding such date on the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or as reported by NASDAQ;

(b)if the Common Stock is not then listed on an established exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, but is quoted on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, the NASD OTC electronic bulletin board or the National Quotation Bureau pink sheets, the average of the lowest and the highest prices per share for the Common Stock as quoted by NASDAQ, NASD or the National Quotation Bureau, as the case may be, for the period of

(i)10 trading days immediately preceding such date in case the collective trading volume of the Common Stock during that 10 day period is greater than 1% of all issued and outstanding shares; or

(ii)60 trading days immediately preceding such date in case the collective trading volume of the Common Stock during that 60 day period is greater than 1% of all issued and outstanding shares; or

(iii)360 trading days immediately preceding such date in case the collective trading volume of the Common Stock during that 360 day period is greater than 1% of all issued and outstanding shares; or

(iv)in the event the collective trading volume in the last 12 months immediately preceding such date is below 1% of all issued and outstanding shares, but during this period the Company issued new shares in the amount of at least 1% of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company, the average between the price as determined in section l. (b) (ii) and the price per share issued, or

(v)in the event none of the aforementioned conditions l.(b) (i) to (iv) is met for the date in question, then an amount determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of GBSX, or

(c)if there is no such reported market for the Common Stock for the date in question, then an amount determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of GBSX.

Option Period

The Stock Option period commences on the date of grant of the Stock Option and will be exercisable for up to ten (10) years or such shorter period as is determined by the Board, or Committee (if applicable).

Restrictions on Transfer

Stock Options granted under the Plans generally are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee.

Vesting of Stock Options and Awards

The Board (or Committee if appointed to administer the Plan) has full authority, in its discretion to make each option or award granted subject to a vesting schedule whereby an employee must remain employed by the Company for a given length of time in order to have the option or award fully vest. Employees leaving the Company’s employment before the option or award in fully vested will forfeit any unvested portion of an option or award.

Termination of Relationship

No Stock Option may be exercised after the Optionee, if a Director or Officer, has ceased to be a Director or Officer or, if an Employee or other Eligible Participant, has left the employ or service of the Company or an affiliate of the Company, except as follows:

a.To the extent provided in the Optionee’s employment agreement;

b.In the case of the death of an Optionee, any vested Option held by him or her at the date of death will become exercisable by the Optionee’s lawful personal representatives, heirs or executors until the earlier of one year after the date of death of such Optionee and the expiry date of such Option;

c.Subject to the other provisions of the Plan, including the proviso below, vested Options will expire ninety (90) days after the date the Optionee ceases to be employed by, provide services to, or be a Director or Officer of, the Company or an affiliate of the Company, and all unvested Options will immediately terminate without right to exercise same; and

d.In the case of an Optionee being dismissed from employment or service for cause, such Optionee’s Options, whether or not vested at the date of dismissal will immediately terminate without right to exercise same, provided that in no event may the term of the Option exceed 10 years.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c), the Board or Committee may provide for the vesting of all or any part of the Optionee’s Options that are unvested at the date the Optionee ceases to be employed by, provide services to, or be a Director or Officer of, the Company or an affiliate, and may extend the time period for exercise of an Option to a maximum of the original term of the Option, all as the Board or Committee deems appropriate in the circumstances contemplated by subsection (c).

Consideration

Cloud Computing

GBS Cloud Computing activities are focused on cloud automation solutions and Risk & Compliance Management solutions. Headquartered in Eisenach, Germanytherefore the Company has offices throughout Europemade key acquisitions and North America.


Overview ofR&D investments to create an award winning Cloud Computing Technology and Industry Trends
Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services overPlatform-as-a-Service offering. Under the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
IaaS providers have massive data centers that can handle the data run over the cloud, the largest of which is Amazon.com. IBM also participates in this business and hosts GROUP Live. PaaS providers offer the actual cloud platform that runs on the IaaS data centers and can deploy the applications (SaaS products).  Some of the leading PaaS providers include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure Services Platform, Google App Engine, and Rackspace Cloud, along with GBS’s CAP and GROUP Live products.  SaaS deliversbanner, the GBS PaaS offering has been sold to a variety of enterprise customers, which use the PaaS software to host internal corporate clouds (Private cloud) and applications on the cloud, which simplify product licensingas-a-service to their various internal user groups. GROUP Live has also be sold and maintenance.  The SaaS market was first filledimplemented by a number of CRM (Customer Relationship Management)Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), ERP  (Enterprise Risk Management)which are leveraging the platform to deliver their own Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications to their respective customer bases.

Both of these customer groups enjoy the comprehensive nature of this platform agnostic PaaS solution and emailits exceptional change management capabilities enabling resource flexibility, business agility, scalability and ease-of-use beyond that which is generally available in the market today.

Application Modernization and Migration

GBS’s Application Modernization and Migration activities are focused on the IBM Lotus Notes applications but has spreadand the offering spans from expert services and accelerator technologies to modernize, web enable and migrate Lotus applications; and thus ultimately take the Lotus applications from legacy to the future. The foundation of the Transformer Suite Software offering is GBS’s significant R&D investment in a set of methodologies and key technology accelerators to automate the conversion of traditional Notes based client-server applications, into nearly all other types of software.  Leading providers in this space include Salesforce.com, Googlethe IBM XPages framework which enables Domino applications to be run and Zoho as well as IBM’saccessed via the Lotus Live suite.  In 2009, SaaS made up the bulk of cloud computing revenue at $8 billion (Source: IDC, June 2010).


Over the past five years, there has beenclient, a migration from on-premise hardware and software to cloud computing which allows companies to increase efficiency and reduce cost by paying for software and hardware useweb browser or on a subscription basis.  In this model, IT managers are ablemobile device. The patent-pending software that underpins what is referred to rent server capacity on an as-needed basisas our “Transformer” solution was developed by GBS with the assistance and guidance from a third party, instead of managing a data center on-premise, and purchasing up-to-date licenses for software based on real-time, instead of purchasing bundles of licenses or software and upgrading when updates are released.

An October 2010 IBM Tech Trend Survey found that 91%Corporation’s Software Group to ensure alignment with future releases of the 2,000 IT developers surveyed expect cloud computingIBM Lotus / Domino and XPages technology.

IBM has deemed the Transformer technology a “game changer,” and will be employing it to over-take on-premise computing as the primary way organizations acquire IT over the next five years.  An IDC July 2010 report shows global public cloud-related spending at $16.5 billion in 2009 (4% of the total IT spending) with the expectation that the market will increase to $55.5 billion by 2014, making up 12% of total IT spending.  IDC broke down the market into five categories, three of which GBS competes in, including Applications, App Development and Deployment, and Infrastructure Software.  These three make up $13.0 billion of the 2009 total and $40.5 billion in 2014, which leaves plenty of room for growth for a number of competitors in the market.


modernize their clients’ applications.

Competition


The competitive landscape in the enterprise data center market is intense and changing, and we expect there will be a new class of very large, well-financed, and aggressive competitors, each bringing its own new class of products to address this new market. We also expect to see acquisitions, further industry consolidation, and new alliances among companies as they seek to serve the enterprise data center market.


The Company is focused on developing a portfolio of Cloud Computing software technologies and Application Services to address the needs of ISV’s, Data Center providers, as well as commercial and government organizations. GBSX is pursuing an aggressive growth strategy based upon highly targeted mergers and acquisitions so as to build its portfolio of technologies, applications, and services.

The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC as of the date of filing this Form 10-K. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock registered under the Registration Statement but we will receive proceeds if any additional Private Placement Warrants and Investor Warrants are exercised. If all of the warrants are exercised, we will have received gross proceeds of $10,076,000. However, there can be no assurance that any additional warrants will be exercised. To date, we have used the proceeds of the warrants already exercised for general corporate working capital purposes.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   The areas where critical estimates were made that have significant importance to the financial statements are as follows:

i.Allowance for doubtful accounts. The company provides for potential bad debts on an account-by-account basis. Bad debts have not been significant and our allowance has been accurate. Non-trade receivables are also scrutinized and allowed for based on expected recovery. One significant item ($1,902,000) which was previously written off was re-evaluated and reinstated during fiscal 2011. The amount was subsequently paid.

ii.Allocation of the price paid when acquiring subsidiaries.  When the Company acquires subsidiary companies an allocation of the purchase is required.  The allocation is based on management’s analysis of the value of the net assets, and is based on estimated future cash flows that each component will produce.  Such components might include software, customer lists and other intangible assets that are not readily determinable.  The allocation will have significant impact on the future earnings of the Company as certain assets, customer lists for example, must be amortized and charged to operations over time, while other assets, notably goodwill, does not.

iii.Impairment testing on intangibles and goodwill.  As noted in more detail below, these areas involve numerous estimates as to expected cash flows, expected rates of return and other factors that are difficult to determine and are often out of the Company’s direct control.  Accordingly, the Company adopts a conservative approach and has experienced better than projected results for the most part.

iv.Valuation of deferred tax credits.  The Company provides an allowance for tax recoveries arising from the application of losses carried forward.  An allowance is provided where management has determined that it is less than likely that the loss will be applied and income taxes recovered.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted FASB Codification topic (ASC”) 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder's equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses and minimum pension liability. Since inception, the Company’s other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments.

Net Income per Common Share

FASB Codification topic (ASC”) 260, Earnings per share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive. Accordingly, although the diluted weighted average number of common stock outstanding is disclosed on the statements of operation, the calculated net loss per share is the same for bother basic and diluted as both are based on the basic weighted average of common stock outstanding. There were no adjustments required to net income for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financial assets, notes payable, liabilities to banks, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities.  As of the financial statement date, the Company does not hold any derivate financial instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are measured upon first recognition and reviewed at the financial statement date.  Changes in fair value are recognized through profit and loss.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Currency Risk

We use the US dollar as our reporting currency.  The functional currencies of our significant foreign subsidiaries are the local currency, which includes the Euro, the British pound and the British pound.Indian Rupee.  Accordingly, some assets and liabilities are incurred in those currency and we are subject to foreign currency risks.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB Codification topic (ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This new accounting standard establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accountingI pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

20

The Company has adopted FASB Codification topic(ASC”) 825, Financial Instruments, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Pursuant to FASB ASC 330 (Inventories), inventories held for sale are recognized under inventories. Inventories were measured at the lower of cost whichor market. Cost is determined on a first-in-first out basis, without any overhead component.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets predominately comprise goodwill, acquired software and capitalized software development services. Intangible assets acquired in exchange for payment are reflected as acquisition costs. If the development costs can be capitalized per FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC“)ASC 985-20-25, these are reflected as ascribable personnel and overhead costs.

Company created software can be intended for sale to third parties or used by the Company itself. If the conditions for capitalization are not met, the expenses are recorded with their effect on profit in the year in which they were incurred.

GROUP amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life to the estimated residual book value in accordance with ASC regulations. In addition, in special circumstances according to FASB ASC 350-30, a recoverability test is performed and, if applicable, unscheduled amortization is considered.

The useful life of acquired software is between three and five years and three years for Company-designed software.

Intangible assets obtained as part of an acquisition which do not meet the criteria for a separate entry are identified as goodwill and are reviewed once a year as to their recoverability in the form of an impairment test. If they are no longer recoverable, an unscheduled amortization expense entry is performed.

In addition, an impairment test, whereby the appraised fair value of the invested capital of the reporting segment, (as described in Note 14,) is compared with the carrying (book) value of its invested capital amount, including goodwill.

If the appraised value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the appraised fair value, an impairment test based on use value is necessary in order to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.

Use value is generally used in order to determine the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The current plan prepared by the management serves as the basis for this policy. The planning assumptions are each adjusted for the current state of knowledge. Reasonable assumptions regarding macroeconomic trends and historical developments are taken into account in making these adjustments. Future estimated cash flows are essentially determined based on the expected growth rates of the markets in question.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are valued at acquisition or manufacturing costs, reduced by scheduled and, if necessary, unscheduled depreciation. Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, prorated over their expected useful life. Scheduled depreciation is mainly based on useful lives of 3 to 10 years.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated up to 40 years.

If fixed assets are sold, retired or scrapped, the profit or loss arising from the difference between the net sales proceeds and the residual book value are included under other operating earnings and expenses.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with FASB Codification topic, 360.10. This guidance requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. No impairment has been recognized in the accounts.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Under these guidelines, revenue is

License Revenues

Our license revenues consist of revenues earned from the licensing of our software products. These products are generally licensed on a perpetual basis. Pricing models have generally been based either upon the physical infrastructure, such as the number of physical desktop computers or servers, on which our software runs or on a per user basis. License revenues are recognized when persuasive evidencethe elements of an arrangement exists,revenue recognition for the licensed software are complete, generally upon electronic shipment of the software and the software key to provide full access to all functionalities for our customers. In general our invoices reflect license, service and maintenance components. In the case of multi element contracts, the revenues allocated to the software license represent the residual amount of the contract after the fair value of the other elements has occurred or services rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured. Customers take ownership at pointbeen determined. Certain products of sale and bear the costs and risks of delivery.

Maintenance earningsour software offering are realized per FASB ASC 605  Revenue Recognitionlicensed on a pro ratasubscription basis.

Software Maintenance Revenues

Software maintenance revenues are recognized ratably on a pro-rata basis over the contractual servicerange of the contract period. ConsultingOur contract periods typically range from one to five years. Vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE”) of fair value for software maintenance services is established by the rates charged in stand-alone sales of software maintenance contracts or the stated renewal rate for software maintenance. Customers who are party to software maintenance agreements with us are entitled to receive support, product updates and trainingupgrades on a when-and-if-available basis.

Professional Services Revenues

Professional services include pre-project consulting, software design, customization, project management, implementation and training. Professional services are realizednot considered essential to the functionality of our products, as these services do not alter the product capabilities and may be performed by our customers or by other vendors. Professional services engagements performed for a fixed fee, for which we are able to make reasonably dependable estimates of progress toward completion, are recognized on a proportional performance basis based on hours incurred and estimated hours of completion. Professional services engagements that are on a time and materials basis are recognized based on hours incurred. Revenues on all other professional services engagements are recognized upon provisioncompletion. Our professional services may be sold with software products or on a stand-alone basis. Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) of fair value for professional services is based upon the service. Sales revenues are presented with deductions madestandard rates we charge for discounts, customer bonuses, and rebates.

such services when sold separately.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is US dollars. For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of GROUP were translated into US dollars. Assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity was translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

equity.

Other Provisions

According to FASB ASC 450 Contingencies, provisions are made whenever there is a current obligation to third parties resulting from a past event which is likely in the future to lead to an outflow of resources and of which the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions not already resulting in aan outflow of resources in the following year are recognized at their discounted settlement amount on the financial statement date. The discount taken is based on market interest rates. The settlement amount also includes the expected cost increases. Provisions are not set off against contribution claims. If the amended estimate leads to a reduction of the obligatory amount, the provision is proportionally reversed and the earnings are recognized in other operating earnings.

Deferred Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with FASB Codification topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carry forwards.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Company’s fiscal year 2012); early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-06 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-9 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2010-9"). ASU 2010-9 amends disclosure requirements within Subtopic 855-10. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC's requirements. ASU 2010-9 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-09 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Effective July 1, 2010, we adopted the update to the accounting standard regarding derivatives and hedging (Topic 815). This update clarifies how to determine whether embedded credit derivatives, including those interests held in collateralized debt obligations and synthetic collateralized debt obligations, should be bifurcated and accounted for separately. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (Topic 805). The update requires public companies to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occur in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. This guidance is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of FASB ASU No. 2010-29 effective December 1, 2010 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position but did result in additional disclosures.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Reverse Acquisition

As previously disclosed, the Company originally exchanged a total of 5,405,411 shares of common stock in exchange for 50.1% of the outstanding common shares of GROUP (and retained it’s 50.1% shareholding by acquiring an additional 883,765 shares of GROUP on February 27, 2012). Although the Company was the legal acquirer, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of GROUP in the form of a reverse merger, whereby GROUP became the accounting acquirer and was deemed to have retroactively adopted the capital structure of the Corporation. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements

Off - Balance Sheet Arrangements
reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of GROUP for all periods presented, and do not include the historical financial statements of the Company. All costs associated with the reverse merger transaction were expensed as incurred. Those expenses totaled approximately $300,000 and were included in professional fees in administrative expenses.

The Company has based its financial reporting for the consolidation with GROUP in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 805-40 as it relates to reverse acquisitions. Goodwill has been measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration effectively transferred by the Company, the acquire, for financial reporting purposes, over the net amount of the Company’s recognized identifiable assets and liabilities.

We have recorded the acquired assets and liabilities of GBSX on the acquisition date of January 6, 2011, at their fair value and the operations of GBSX have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

The assets and liabilities of GROUP, the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their precombination carrying amounts in accordance with ASC 805-40-45-2(a). Therefore, in a reverse acquisition, the non-controlling interest reflects the non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate interest in the pre-combination carrying amounts of GROUP’s net assets even though the non-controlling interests in other acquisitions are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date.

It should also be noted that the Company and GROUP have different year-end reporting dates. The Company’s fiscal year-end reporting date is March 31 and GROUP’s calendar year-end reporting date is December 31. The consolidation of these entities for financial reporting purposes has been performed without any adjustments for timing differences between these two reporting dates in accordance Regulation S-X Rule 3A-02.

The purpose of the acquisition was to allow GROUP easier access to American financial markets. Goodwill recognized of $9,324,000 was recorded upon consolidation and was calculated as the value of the consideration given less the value of the asset received. The resulting goodwill represents the benefit to be gained by gaining entry into American financial markets.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

These financial statements have been prepared to be used for the purpose of compiling the consolidated financial statements of GROUP Business Software and, accordingly, they state the assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity, revenues and expenses of the Company as adjusted for that purpose. The financial statements have not been prepared for use by other parties and may not be appropriate for such use.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, for the purpose described above, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Restrictions:
There are no restrictions to the Audit Report.
Additional matters for information

Note 2ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Note 2            ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the more significant of which are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) authoritative guidance regarding segment reporting establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company has determined that it operates in only one segment – the development and maintenance of computer software programs and support products.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted the FASB Codification topic (“ASC”) 220, Reporting“Reporting Comprehensive Income,Income”, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder's equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses and minimum pension liability. Since inception, the Company’s other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments.adjustments and small net actuarial losses on pension plans.

Net Income per Common Share

FASB Codification topic

ASC 260, Earnings“Earnings per share,share”, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive. Accordingly, although the diluted weighted average number of common stock outstanding is disclosed on the statements of operation, the calculated net loss per share is the same for both the basic and diluted as both are based on the basic weighted average of common stock outstanding. There were no adjustments required to net income for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivable, financial assets, notes payable, liabilities to banks, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities and other liabilities. As of the financial statement date, the Company does not hold any derivate financial instruments.liabilities, due to related parties and retirement benefit obligations. Financial assets and liabilities are measured upon first recognition and reviewed at the financial statement date. Changes in fair value are recognized through profit and loss. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Currency Risk

We use the US dollar as our reporting currency. The functional currencies of our significant foreign subsidiaries are the local currency, which includes the Euro, the British pound and the British pound.Indian rupee. Accordingly, some assets and liabilities are incurred in those currency and we are subject to foreign currency risks. One of the Company’s subsidiary companies, Synaptris Decisions Private Limited, uses forward currency contracts, as a hedge against currency fluctuations between the US dollar and the Indian rupee.

Derivatives

The forward currency contracts are accounted for as fair value derivatives and are shown gross, with both asset and liability recorded at fair value. At period end the change in fair value is included in net income for the period.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB Codification topicASC 820, Fair“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,Disclosures”, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This new accounting standard establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

The Company has adopted FASB Codification topicASC 825, Financial Instruments, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Pursuant to FASB ASC 330 (Inventories), inventories held for sale are recognized under inventories. Inventories were measured at the lower of cost whichor market. Cost is determined on a first-in-first out basis, without any overhead component.

Goodwill and other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets predominately comprise goodwill, acquired software and capitalized software development services. Intangible assets acquired in exchange for payment are reflected as acquisition costs. If the development costs can be capitalized per FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC“)ASC 985-20-25, these are reflected as ascribable personnel and overhead costs.

Company created software can be intended for sale to third parties or used by the Company itself. If the conditions for capitalization are not met, the expenses are recorded with their effect on profit in the year in which they were incurred.

GROUP

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life to the estimated residual book value in accordance with ASC regulations. In addition, in special circumstances according to FASB ASC 350-30, a recoverability test is performed and, if applicable, unscheduled amortization is considered.

62

Annual Report

GBS Enterprises Incorporated

as of March 31, 2012

The useful life of acquired software is between three and five years and three years for Company-designed software.

Intangible assets obtained as part of an acquisition which do not meet the criteria for a separate entry are identified as goodwill and are reviewed once a year as to their recoverability in the form of an impairment test. If they are no longer recoverable, an unscheduled amortization expense entry is performed.

In addition, an impairment test, whereby the appraised fair value of the invested capital of the reporting unit, is compared with the carrying (book) value of its invested capital amount, including goodwill.

If the appraised value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the appraised fair value, an impairment test based on use value is necessary in order to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.

Use value is generally used in order to determine the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The current plan prepared by the management serves as the basis for this policy. The planning assumptions are each adjusted for the current state of knowledge. Reasonable assumptions regarding macroeconomic trends and historical developments are taken into account in making these adjustments. Future estimated cash flows are essentially determined based on the expected growth rates of the markets in question.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are valued at acquisition or manufacturing costs, reduced by scheduled and, if necessary, unscheduled depreciation. Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, prorated over their expected useful life. Scheduled depreciation is mainly based on useful lives of 3 to 10 years.

If fixed assets are sold, retired or scrapped, the profit or loss arising from the difference between the net sales proceeds and the residual book value are included under other operating earnings and expenses.

This guidance eliminated the current option to report other comprehensive income and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1its components in the statement of changes in equity. The guidance allows two presentation alternatives: (1) present items of net income and 2,other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income; or (2) in two separate, disclosuresbut consecutive, statements of purchases, sales, issuances,net income and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures.  ASU 2010-06other comprehensive income. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Company’s fiscal year 2012); early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-06 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-9 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2010-9"). ASU 2010-9 amends disclosure requirements within Subtopic 855-10. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC's requirements. ASU 2010-9 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-09 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
Effective July 1, 2010, we adopted the update to the accounting standard regarding derivatives and hedging (Topic 815). This update clarifies how to determine whether embedded credit derivatives, including those interests held in collateralized debt obligations and synthetic collateralized debt obligations, should be bifurcated and accounted for separately. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations.
In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (Topic 805). The update requires public companies to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occur in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. This guidance is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on ora fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2010,2011. Early adoption is permitted, but full retrospective application is required under both sets of accounting standards. The Company is currently evaluation which presentation alternative it will utilize.

Principles of Consolidation and Reverse Acquisition

As previously disclosed, the Company has exchanged a total of 5,405,411 shares of common stock in exchange for 50.1% of the outstanding common shares of GROUP. Although the Company was the legal acquirer, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of GROUP in the form of a reverse merger, whereby GROUP becomes the accounting acquirer and is deemed to have retroactively adopted the capital structure of the Corporation. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of GROUP for all periods presented and do not include the historical financial statements of the Company.prior to January 6, 2011. All costs associated with the reverse merger transaction were expensed as incurred.

Those expenses totaled approximately $300,000 and were included in professional fees in administrative expenses.

The Company has based its financial reporting for the consolidation with GROUP in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (ASC)ASC 805-40 as it relates to reverse acquisitions. Goodwill has been measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration effectively transferred by the Company, the acquiree, for financial reporting purposes, over the net amount of the Company’s recognized identifiable assets and liabilities.


40


Annual Report
GBS Enterprises Incorporated
as of March 31, 2011

We have recorded the acquired assets and liabilities of GBSX on the acquisition date of January 6, 2011, at their fair value and the operations of GBSX have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

The assets and liabilities of GROUP, the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their precombination carrying amounts in accordance with ASC 805-40-45-2(a). Therefore, in a reverse acquisition, the non-controlling interest reflects the non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate interest in the pre-combination carrying amounts of GROUP’s net assets even though the non-controlling interests in other acquisitions are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The purpose of the acquisition was to allow GROUP easier access to American financial markets. Goodwill recognized of $8,705,528 was recorded upon consolidation and was calculated as the value of the consideration given less the value of the asset received. The resulting goodwill represents the benefit to be gained by gaining entry into American financial markets.

It should also be noted that the Company and GROUP have different

Development costs

The costs of developing new software products and updating products already marketed by GROUP Business Software AGthe Company are generally recognized as expenses in the period in which they arise. Provided they meet the conditions for capitalization as per FASB ASC 985-20-25, they are capitalized. Capitalized development costs can be attributed to the defined products. These products are technically realizable and there is a target market for them.

The development costs arising in the reporting period result from the personnel costs to be attributed to the development work as well as overhead costs, provided that these are related to the development work and do not represent general administrative costs. The ascribable overhead costs are directly recognized.


44


Annual Report
GBS Enterprises Incorporated
as of March 31, 2011

Capitalized development costs are generally amortized over a period of three years starting with the date of marketability of the new products or major releases.

Concessions, Industrial Property Rights, Licenses

The intangible financial assets carried in this item are licenses acquired in exchange for payment.

These financial assets are measured at acquisition cost less scheduled straight-line amortization. The assets added in the scope of the cost price allocation of the business divisions acquired this year.

The useful life spans were based uniformly throughout the Corporation on those used by the parent company. Scheduled amortization is performed over a period from three to ten years.

The useful life of the domain “gbs.com”, acquired during the previous year, was estimated as unlimited. This is because no other legal, contractual or other factors exist which would limit its useful life. It is not systematically amortized, but rather annually and also, whenever there are signs pointing to an impairment, it is tested for its recoverability and if necessary written down to the amount which could be obtained for it if sold.

Amortization of concessions, industrial property rights and similar rights and assets as well as licenses to such rights and assets is presented in the profit and loss statement under "Depreciation and Amortization." .

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


effective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms.

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.


Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.


Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer, andthe audit committee, the audit team, our principal financial officer and our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of March 31, 2011,2012, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date duedate.

As reported by the Company in Amendment No. 3 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the factors stated below.


Management assessedfiscal year ended March 31, 2011 filed with the effectiveness ofCommission on March 23, 2012, the Company'sCompany’s then Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer had determined that the following material weaknesses existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

reporting:

n  ·LACK OF SEGREGATION OF DUTUES OF INTERNAL ACCOUNTING AND SEC REPORTING DEPARTMENTS.

·LACK OF AUDIT COMMITTEE &AND OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ON THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS:DIRECTORS. We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

·LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF U.S. GAAP BY THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING DEPARTMENTS. Our current Board of Directors, as of March 31, 2011, had one director, Joerg Ott, who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Ott has limited knowledge of U.S. GAAP, and the Certifying Officers believe that this limited knowledge constitutes a material weakness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s internal accounting and reporting departments also have limited knowledge of U.S. GAAP, which the Certifying Officers also believe, constitutes a material weakness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

To cure the above-referenced material weaknesses, in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company created a position within the Company’s accounting and finance team to segregate duties consistent with its control objectives and increased its personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function. Also, as discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, on March 1, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the size of the board from two to seven members and appointed five independent directors. The Board also established a standing Audit Committee comprised of a majority of independent directors, one of whom, John A. Moore, Jr., has been deemed to be an audit committee financial expert, as defined under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K due to his experience, including his knowledge of GAAP.

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to improving its internal controls.  The Company intends to appoint outside directors to its Board of Directorstaking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as wellnecessary and as establish a standing audit committee consisting of independent directors in the near future.


funds allow.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


There have

New Chief Financial Officer:

As previously reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on February 28, 2012, on February 24, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Markus R. Ernst as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), effective February 24, 2012. Mr. Ernst replaced Ronald J. Everett who had been no changesserving as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer since August 2, 2010. Mr. Everett resigned as Chief Financial Officer on February 24, 2012. Mr. Ernst has extensive experience and managing financial operations for publicly traded companies since 2000. He also has extensive knowledge regarding various accounting practices and compliance requirements especially in ourthe United States, Germany and the European Union. Due to the fact that the Company and its subsidiaries are traded in the United States and in Germany, we rely heavily on this expertise.

New Board Members:

As also previously reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on March 6, 2012, on March 1, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the size of the Board from two (2) to seven (7) members and appointed Messrs. David M. Darsch, John A. Moore, Jr., Mohammad A. Shihadah, Stephen D. Baksa and Woody A. Allen (collectively, the “New Directors”) to fill the five (5) vacancies created thereby until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or until his respective successor is elected and qualified.

Independent Directors:

The Board has determined that each of the New Directors qualifies as an “independent director” as defined by Section 10A(m)(3)(ii) of the Exchange Act and Rule 5065(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

Audit Committee:

On March 1, 2012, the Board established a standing Audit Committee comprised of three directors, John A. Moore, Jr. and Woody A. Allen, and Gary MacDonald. As disclosed above, Mr. Moore and Mr. Allen are each deemed to be “independent.” As previously disclosed by the Company, Mr. MacDonald was elected as a member of the Board on December 2, 2011. Mr. MacDonald also serves as an executive officer of the Company and its 50.1% subsidiary, GROUP Software AG, a German publicly-traded company, and therefore, does not qualify as an “independent director” as defined by Section 10A(m)(3)(ii) of the Exchange Act or Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

On March 1, 2012, Mr. Moore was also appointed the Chairman of the Audit Committee and unanimously designated as the audit committee “financial expert” as that term is defined under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K due to Mr. Moore’s experience as reflected in his business experience summarized in this 10-K under Part II, Item 10.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the conduct and integrity of the Company’s financial reports, internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, with ultimate authority to: (i) select, appoint, dismiss, oversee the compensation of and oversee the Company’s independent auditors; (ii) preapprove all auditing and non-auditing services to be provided by the independent auditors (other than non-auditing services that are de minimis); (iii) oversee the independence and qualification of the Company’s independent auditors; (iv) oversee the performance of the Company’s internal audit functions; and (v) prepare any reports of the Committee that are required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement.

The Company believes that the appointment of the New Directors, each of whom qualifies as an “independent director” (as defined by Section 10A(m)(3)(ii) of the Exchange Act and Rule 5065(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules), as well as the establishment of a standing Audit Committee comprised of a majority of independent directors, one of whom who has been appointed an “audit committee financial expert” (as defined by Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K) corrected the material weaknesses which had existed prior to March 1, 2012 and as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Also in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company created a position within the Company’s accounting and finance team to segregate duties consistent with its control objectives and increased its personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function

Management and the Company’s Board of Directors will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting that occurred duringon an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Other than the last fiscal quarter for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourforegoing, there were no other changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Corporate Governance

Nominating and Compensation Committees

We do not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. Our Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have a standing compensation committee at this time because the functions of such committee are adequately performed by our Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors also is of the view that it is appropriate for us not to have a standing nominating committee because our Board of Directors has performed and will perform adequately the functions of a nominating committee. Our Board of Directors has not adopted a charter for the nomination committee. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. Our Board of Directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time because we believe that, given the early stages of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level.

Audit Committee

We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Although, we believe that our Board of Directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, we intend, in the near future, to ­increase our board size as permitted by our Bylaws and formingestablished a standing Audit Committee comprised of at least three independent directors.

Moore, Jr. and Woody Allen, and Gary MacDonald; and Mr. Moore was appointed the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Messrs. Moore and Allen each qualify as an “Independent Director” as defined by Section 10A(m)(3)(ii) of the Exchange Act or Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Mr. MacDonald also serves as an executive officer of the Company and its 50.1% subsidiary, GROUP Software AG, a German publicly traded company, and therefore, does not qualify as an “Independent Director.”

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the conduct and integrity of the Company’s financial reports, internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, with ultimate authority to: (i) select, appoint, dismiss, oversee the compensation of and oversee the Company’s independent auditors; (ii) preapprove all auditing and non-auditing services to be provided by the independent auditors (other than non-auditing services that are de minimis); (iii) oversee the independence and qualification of the Company’s independent auditors; (iv) oversee the performance of the Company’s internal audit functions; and (v) prepare any reports of the Committee that are required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement.

Designation of “Audit Committee Financial Expert”

On March 1, 2012, Mr. Moore was unanimously designated by the Board as the “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K based on Mr. Moore’s business experience as reflected above.

Compensation, Corporate Governance, Regulatory and Nominating Committee:

On March 1, 2012, the Board established a standing Compensation, Corporate Governance, Regulatory and Nominating Committee comprised of the Independent Directors. On March 1, 2012, Mr. Allen was appointed as the Chairman of the Committee.
