QFORQ: Bankruptcy PLAN effective. All shares cancelled:
http://otce.finra.org/DLDeletions
Shares can’t be touched at any price given the BK and lack of any hope for shareholders to come away with anything.
The relaunched company could be successful with the toxic debt unloaded and worth an investment in shares trade.
QFORQ still looking okay?
keep an eye on this one! Should be coming out of bankruptcy real soon. Valuation on assets and revenue is at .10 once the smoke clears.
Nice bids here, moving up from .0022 just last week, ask pretty thin.

Quadrant 4 System Corporation Reaches Partial Settlement with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Files for Voluntary Chapter 11 RestructuringFont size: A | A | A
10:31 AM ET 6/30/17 | GlobeNewswire
Quadrant 4 System Corporation (OTC:QFOR) (the "Company"), a provider of digital transformation, innovation and growth, technology-based solutions and staffing to the retail, manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, education and media industries announced today that it has reached partial settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding its previously disclosed investigation. Separately, the Company has voluntarily filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization case to allow the Company to continue normal operations while actively marketing and ultimately selling its business units as going concerns.
The Company is aware of additional criminal charges filed today by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois against its former executives, Nandu Thondavadi and Dhru Desai, charging them with wire fraud in connection with various types of misconduct while employed by the Company. No criminal charges have been, or are anticipated to be, filed against the Company. Since the November 30, 2016 arrests of Messrs. Thondavadi and Desai, the Company has been cooperating closely with both the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice under the direction of its new executive team and reconstituted board of directors.
As part of its settlement with the SEC, the Company has consented to the entry of a proposed judgment on a "no-admit, no-deny" basis that would require it to refrain from violating various provisions of the federal securities laws. The draft judgment, which requires court approval, is part of a "bifurcated settlement" under which civil penalties, if any, may be determined in future litigation. The Company does not believe this settlement will impair its operations during the Chapter 11 process.
The Chapter 11 filing is in direct response to the actions and arrest of Messrs. Thondavadi and Desai. The Company's senior secured lender, BMO Harris Bank, N.A. has agreed to supply additional funding to assist the Company with operating during the Chapter 11 process, and the Company expects to continue normal operations throughout the Chapter 11 case while actively marketing its business units for sale as going concerns.
The Company believes that all of its customers, suppliers and employees can continue to rely on the Company to provide them with the superior services and relationships the Company has delivered for years. "The filing was necessary to preserve the value of our businesses and to ensure continued operations and services to our customers and employees. The voluntary Chapter 11 filing will give the Company sufficient breathing room to continue working through the process. The Company has already received signed asset purchase agreements for certain of its business units from reputable and stable organizations, which will be subject to approval during the Chapter 11 process and help guarantee the continuation of the Company's services to customers and other interested parties," said Robert H. Steele, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "Marketing and sale efforts for the Company's remaining business units will continue during the Chapter 11. We expect prompt and successful results from those efforts as well. All of our energies are focused on concluding this process in an professional and positive manner," Steele stated.
The Company intends to work with all key constituents to maintain customer services, employee relationships, and to maximize its asset values and exit Chapter 11 in the quickest and most efficient means possible.
The Company expects that its current management team will continue to lead the Company throughout this process.

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Dec. 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quadrant 4 System Corporation (“Quadrant 4,” “Q4,” or the “Company”) (OTC:QFOR) is pleased to announce the appointments of Robert Steele as Chief Executive Officer and Shekhar Iyer as Chief Operating Officer.
Steele has been serving as President of Q4’s Health Division and Iyer has been serving as President of Q4’s Education Division. This new management team will report directly to the Board of Directors.
“Robert is a strong and experienced executive with a thorough understanding of Quadrant 4’s existing core business and operations,” said Dr. Thomas E. Sawyer, Independent Director. “He has successfully led Q4’s Health Division and we are confident that under Robert’s leadership, Q4 is well-positioned to build on our core competencies, drive financial and operational performance, and ultimately increase shareholder value.”
Steele has served as President of Quadrant 4’s Health Division since June 2013. He is a technology industry veteran with over 30 years of experience focused on the insurance, employee benefits, and health care sectors. Steele has founded several technology companies including the first Section 125 administration system to serve small and mid-market employers. Steele was named by the Atlanta Business Chronicle in the “Twenty Techies to Know” in a 2001 publication. Steele also served in the Georgia General Assembly as an elected state representative in 1988.
“It is an honor to be appointed Chief Executive Officer of Q4,” said Mr. Steele. “Since joining Quadrant 4, it was apparent to me that we had talented, dedicated, and passionate staff. I am confident we are well positioned to successfully move the Company forward. While there are challenges, I intend to create the best company possible, working with all our employees to serve our clients’ needs. We are implementing improvements in Q4’s operations, finances, and corporate governance. Senior leadership, with the support of our skilled global workforce, will continue to effectively support our current client base while optimizing new opportunities and delivering value to our stakeholders.”
Iyer has worked at the leading edge of technology in the education sector for more than 35 years. Before coming to Q4, Iyer founded ECS, an education technology company that was acquired by Core Education and Technologies. As President and CEO of that company, he created enterprise solutions for numerous state education departments and local school districts. While serving as President of Q4’s Education Division, Iyer contributed to the strategic planning of the entire Company.
“As COO, Shekhar brings a wealth of experience in managing operation growth within an organization. He has led a team to develop a world class product for the education business unit. We are convinced his knowledge and experience will be most helpful in successfully navigating the Company’s path forward,” said Philip M. Firrek, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Stated Iyer, “I am humbled by the opportunity to serve as the Chief Operating Officer of Q4 and the trust the Board has placed in me. I am confident that with our team of loyal, talented, and dedicated employees, we will satisfactorily serve our customers and stakeholders. With the strong support of our Board, and our team’s demonstrated experience and leadership, we will deliver sustained growth.”

Two top executives of a publicly traded Schaumburg software and consulting firm were arrested Wednesday morning for allegedly misrepresenting the company's finances to inflate its stock price.
Nandu Thondavadi, CEO of Schaumburg-based Quadrant 4 System, and Dhru Desai, its chief financial officer and chairman, were charged with wire fraud and certifying false financial reports related to two acquisitions and the settlement of a lawsuit against the company in 2013.
Thondavadi faces an additional charge of making false statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission in May during an investigation into the company's financial practices.
Both appeared in Chicago federal court Wednesday morning to hear the charges, which carry a maximum penalty of 20 years each for wire fraud and certifying false financial reports. Thondavadi faces an additional 5 years for allegedly making false statements to the SEC.
Thondavadi, 62, of North Barrington, and Desai, 55, of Barrington, are being held in federal custody, with a bond hearing set for Friday afternoon.
Quadrant 4, which launched in 2010, provides software and consulting services to health care and education customers. The firm reported $52 million in revenues and a net loss of $516,000 for 2015, according to financial filings.
The complaint alleges that Quadrant 4 misrepresented its acquisitions of Teledata Technology Solutions and Momentum Mobile in 2013, overstating the value of the deals. In the Teledata purchase, for example, the company said in financial statements it paid the seller 3 million shares of Quadrant 4 stock, when the actual agreement called for a payment of 475,000 shares, according to the complaint.
In late 2013, Quadrant 4 began making cash payments on a $1.75 million settlement after a court ruled it had breached a financing agreement with a New York-based lender, Downtown Capital Partners. Quadrant 4 allegedly misrepresented the settlement in financial statements as a payment of 1.87 million shares of its stock to enhance its cash position to investors, according to the complaint.
Thondavadi and Desai were the largest individual shareholders of the company at the time, according to the complaint.
In May, after the SEC launched an investigation into the company's financial practices, the agency questioned Thondavadi in its Chicago office about his potential interests in Core Information Technology Solutions, a major Quadrant 4 client. At the time, Thondavadi denied having any financial control or ownership interest in CITS, despite evidence to the contrary presented by the SEC, according to the complaint.
The company subsequently filed an amended annual report acknowledging related party transactions with CITS, which the complaint alleges resulted in $1.4 million in net transactions with Quadrant 4 in 2015.
Quadrant 4 has offices in seven states and India.

SEC may suspend this stock and all equity will be lost.
There you go QFOR management thaaaaats how you do it....
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-schaumburg-ceo-fraud-1201-biz-20161130-story.html
I took them making no effort to bring attention to their business as veiled bullishness...turns out they weren't bringing attention to their operations for another reason.
My bad on this one friends. I'm not embarrassed by it as these types of set ups pay people and will continue to pay people in any market....but in this case they went way way out of their way to NOT help shareholders.....that's the kindest way I can phrase it
-HC
Dear QFOR management,
If your collective intent was to drop the ball, embarrass yourselves and gut your shareholders, you're doing a fantastic job...
Why story build and construct lasting value when you can be a regular cryptic pos like everyone else??
Just an all and all terrific couple months (standing ovation)
-HC
Well with insiders acquiring shares like crazy tells me that they are onto something worth $ and don't want sharing it shareholders!!! Hope it doesn't get approved!
Pretty sure it's safe to say a plan is in place...
If they wanted to not report for the sake of not reporting they'd simply do it but taking these measures implies something might be going on
-as per the filing....
"The primary purpose of the going private transaction is to reduce the number of record holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”) to fewer than 300, thereby allowing the Company to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12 (gift) of the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligation"
So hypothetically if they're able to reduce the total number of shareholders to under 300 in 1 fell swoop; it seems like a slick way to go private...they're making a nice guesture to the crumb holders and a 1-10 isn't bad so no ones getting screwed by any means.
They're paying off notes, they've got funding in places that assures that they won't need convertible debt and they've already inked deals that are huge (Cognizant's subsidiary)....they've not made any effort to bring attention to that stuff so them going private is consistent with the bread crumb trail I've been following...
But I'm just speculating trying to weigh both sides...lets see how the market reacts in the coming week(s)
Read the filings it all in there...
they won't file sec quarterly reports or annual reports so I think they will just become a non reporting pink sheet stock.
We won't get much for shares since most investors don't like the lack of verified information about the company performance.
So we screwed wonder how much we would get for our shares once they go private..
Because the huge pop in revs they promised has never happened!
Why are they doing reverse split?
QFOR...News...http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=11616429
To accomplish the reduction in the number of record holders of the Common Stock, the Company will effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock, whereby each 10 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the effective date of the reverse stock split will be converted into one whole share of Common Stock (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”). In lieu of issuing any fractional shares held by shareholders as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will make a cash payment equal to $0.50 per share of Common Stock held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split (the “ Cash Payment ”). Accordingly, shareholders owning fewer than 10 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares will have no further interest in the Company, will no longer be shareholders of the Company and will be entitled to receive only the Cash Payment multiplied by the number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares owned by them. Stockholders owning at least 10 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares, who after the Reverse Stock Split will continue as shareholders but own a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, will receive a Cash Payment based on their pre-Reverse Stock Split share equivalent of their fractional share. Stockholders owning at least 10 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares and who will not own any fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will not receive a Cash Payment. The total amount of funds necessary to make Cash Payments to shareholders in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and for related expenses is estimated to be approximately $[30,000]. The funds for the Reverse Stock Split will come from the Company’s available funds

QUADRANT 4 SYSTEM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Organization
Quadrant 4 System Corporation (sometimes referred to herein as “Quadrant 4,” “Company,” “we” or “us”) was incorporated by the Florida Department of State on May 9, 1990 as Sun Express Group, Inc. and changed its name on March 31, 2011. The Company changed its domicile to Illinois on April 25, 2013. The Company generates revenue from clients located mostly in North America operating out of multiple office locations in the United States. In addition, the Company’s revenues are derived from a few select industries pertaining to information technology, consulting, professional services and vertical cloud platforms that include a large number of participants and are subject to rapid change.
Operations
The Company is engaged in the information technology sector as a provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) systems to the health insurance (through our QBIX/QHIX/QWEX ™ offering), media (through our QBLITZ ™ offering) and education (through our QEDX ™ offering) verticals (collectively, the “Platforms”). Along with the Platforms, we also provide core services that leverage on our proprietary Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) technology “stack” (a set of software subsystems or components needed to create a complete Platform). These services include Consulting, Application Life Cycle Management, Enterprise Applications & Data Management, Mobility Applications and Business Analytics (collectively, “Consulting”). We blend our Consulting services with our Platforms to offer client-specific and industry-specific solutions to the healthcare, media, education, retail and manufacturing industry segments (collectively, “Solutions”). Consulting and Solutions are referred to together as “Services”.
The Company generates revenues principally from two broad segments, namely Services and Platforms. The Services segment includes Consulting, which we bill on a time and materials basis; Solutions, which we bill on time and materials basis; and managed services, which we bill under fixed monthly fees for pre-determined services. The Platform segment bills on transaction basis such as per member per month enrolled for the QBIX/QHIX/QWEX Platform; per bandwidth consumed for the QBLITZ Platform; and per student per month for the QEDX Platform. The QHIX revenue stream started in 2016 and the QBIX revenue stream started in 2015. The Company expects to increase its Platform-based revenues during the second half of 2016.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. This form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all the accounts of the Company. As of January 1, 2016, DialedIn Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has been merged with and into the Company. All intercompany transactions for 2016 have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Table of Contents
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates include the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, depreciation and amortization, intangible assets, including software development cost, customer lists and technology stacks, capitalization, fair value and useful lives, accruals, contingencies, impairment and valuation of stock warrants and options. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could have a significant impact on recorded amounts. Accordingly, actual results could defer from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.
The Company reviews the terms of the convertible debt and equity instruments that it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.
Accounts and Unbilled Receivables
Accounts and unbilled receivables consist of amounts due from customers which are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable, which is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customers, current economic trends, and changes in customer repayment terms.
Unbilled receivables are established when revenue is deemed to be recognized based on the Company’s revenue recognition policy, but due to contractual restraints over the timing of invoicing, the Company does not have the right to invoice the customer by the balance sheet date.
Vendors and Contractors
The Company outsources portions of its work to third party service providers (See Note 16). These providers include captive suppliers that undertake software development, research & development and custom platform development. Some vendors may provide specific consultants or resources (often called Corp to Corp) or independent contractors (often designated as 1099) to satisfy agreed deliverables to the Company’s clients.
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated for financial statement purposes using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five (5) to fifteen (15) years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the appropriate amounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of assets is credited or charged to income.
7
Table of Contents
Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of manufactured and preassembled units ready for distribution. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. In evaluating whether inventory is stated lower of cost or market, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, the distribution channel, the estimated time to sell such inventory, and the current market conditions. Adjustments to reduce inventory to its net realizable value are charged to cost of goods sold.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, consisting of customer lists and technology stacks, are recorded at fair value and amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management of the Company at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. Management of the Company performs its impairment testing on a quarterly basis. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed.
Customer lists are valued based on management’s forecast of expected future net cash flows, with revenues based on projected revenues from customers acquired and are being amortized over years ranging from 2 to 5 years.
Technology stacks are valued based on management’s forecast of expected future net cash flows, with revenues based on projected sales of these technologies and are amortized over years ranging from 2 to 7 years.
Software Development Costs
Costs that are related to the conceptual formulation and design of licensed software programs are expensed as incurred to research, development (R&D) engineering and other administrative support expenses; costs that are incurred to produce the finished product after technological feasibility has been established and after all research and development activities for any other components of the product or process have been completed are capitalized as software development costs. Capitalized amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging up to five years and are recorded in amortization expense which started during 2015 and 2016 when certain of the Platforms first became available for sale. The Company performs reviews at each balance sheet date to ensure that unamortized software development costs remain recoverable from future revenue. Cost to support or service licensed Platforms are charged to cost of revenue as incurred.
The Company’s product development and R&D are carried out by both our employees in the U.S. as well as outsourced contractors in India. The U.S. employees mainly focus on the domain, market relevance, feasibility and possible pilots/prototypes. The Indian contractors mainly focus on execution in terms of software development and testing.
Pre-paid Expenses
The Company incurs certain costs that are deemed as prepaid expenses. The fees that are paid to the Department of Homeland Security for processing H-1B visa fees for its international employees are amortized over 36 months, typically the life of the visa. One-third of these pre-paid expenses are included in other current assets and two-thirds in other assets. The Company also incurs certain expenses towards the licensing of its platforms and may include special software development costs, testing and commissions.
Deferred Financing Costs
In accordance with FASB ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03), the Company has reclassified debt Issuance costs, previously presented as another long-term asset, to a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount.
Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s notes payable and revolving credit facilities are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method over the life of the respective facility (See Note 10).
8
Table of Contents
Deferred Licensing and Royalty Fees
The Company licenses software, platforms and/or content on an as-needed basis and enters into market driven licensing and royalty fee arrangements. If no consumption or usage of such licenses occurs during the reporting period, the Company has no obligation for any minimum fees or royalties and no accruals are posted. Deferred licensing fees are amortized over a period of five years.
Deferred Licensing Revenue
The Company may enter into agreements to license its Platforms and may receive upfront fees as an advance. These fees will be recognized as revenues when the client accepts the delivery of such licenses.
Operating Leases
The Company has operating lease agreements for its offices, some of which contain provisions for future rent increases or periods in which rent payments are abated. Operating leases which provide for lease payments that vary materially from the straight-line basis are adjusted for financial accounting purposes to reflect rental income or expense on the straight-line basis in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). No such material difference existed as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015.
Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of the convertible debt and equity instruments that it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount.
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.
Goodwill
In connection with the Company’s acquisitions, valuations are usually completed to determine the allocation of the purchase prices. The factors considered in the valuations include data gathered as a result of the Company’s due diligence in connection with the acquisitions, projections for future operation, and data obtained from third-party valuation specialists as deemed appropriate. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits of a business combination measured as the excess purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired.
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exists that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed and determinable, performance of service has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized in the period the services are provided, which range from approximately 2 months to over 1 year. The Company specifically recognizes three kinds of revenues:
1. Time and materials – consulting and project engagements fall in this category and revenues are recognized when the client approves the time sheet of consultants who have completed work on their assignment.
2. Managed services – engagements where the Company bills a fixed contracted amount per billing period for the defined services provided such as software maintenance, break-fix and hosting services. The client provides no acknowledgement of delivery since the agreed upon service level agreements determine any service deficiencies. Any service deficiencies are addressed within the normal course of the engagement. Since the revenue is not subject to forfeiture, refund or other concession and all delivery obligations are fulfilled and the fee is fixed and determinable, the Company follows the revenue recognition guidance under FASB ASC 985-605.
3. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) – subscription revenues for using the Company’s SaaS platforms fall into this category. The Company recognizes the revenues for each period using the starting and ending average of subscriber fees during the billing period. The objective of the period average is to accommodate frequent changes, such as new hires, terminations, and/or births/deaths on our QHIX health insurance platform. Our platforms automatically determine the average users and no further acknowledgement is required from the clients to recognize these revenues.
The Company did not have any multiple-element revenue streams for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization is not considered more likely than not.
The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS and corresponding states, generally for three years after they are filed.
Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as options and warrants outstanding during each period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were 5,517,213 potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding since they were anti-dilutive and for three months ended June 30, 2016, there were 5,491,244 potentially dilutive securities that were included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 there were 4,596,182 potentially dilutive securities that were included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Derivatives
We account for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . All derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. We record our interest rate and foreign currency swaps at fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis and for warrants and other option type instruments based on option pricing models. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in income or expense.
Share-based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes model using the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of our common stock.
10
Table of Contents
The Company determines the fair value of the share-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instrument is reached or the date the performance is complete.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock awards with service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is included in operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash at various financial institutions, which at times, may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date as a result of this policy and, in assessing its risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash only with reputable financial institutions.
The Company currently banks at two national institutions with one being the primary and the other for petty cash purposes. The Company does not maintain large balances in its lockbox account due to the daily automatic sweep arrangement with its lenders that credits its debts on a daily basis.
The Company’s largest customer represented 11.7% and 16.0% of consolidated revenues, and 14.1% and 20.07% of accounts receivable, as of and for the six months end June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company had one customer that represented 14.1%, of its total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2016, while a customer that represented 20.7%, and a second customer that represented 13.4%, of its total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2015. The Company’s largest vendor represented 49.1% and 24.4% of total vendor payments for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . The amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial positions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The amendments in this ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods permitted.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which is intended to improve financial reporting for lease transactions by increasing transparency and comparability among organizations. The guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize the following at the commencement date for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The guidance in ASU No 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact the guidance will have upon adoption.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires an entity to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows, ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-09 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
11
Table of Contents
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”). The amendments in this update clarify the following two aspects to Topic 606: Identifying performance obligations and licensing implantation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The entity first identifies the promised goods or services in the contract and reduce the cost and complexity. An entity evaluates whether promised goods and services are distinct. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfy at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). ASU 2016-10 is effective per fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-10 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS
Brainchild Corporation
On January 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Brainchild Corporation (“Brainchild”). Brainchild, based in Naples, Florida, is a leading provider of web-based and mobile learning solutions for kindergarten through high school, grades K-12. The acquisition of Brainchild includes technology, staffing and software solutions developed for providing its educational solutions.
This acquisition represents the Company’s entry into its newest vertical. The Company intends to leverage its experience in building and operating cloud-based exchanges for healthcare and media to the education market. The Company believes there is a growing demand for platforms that will bring together the delivery of digital instructional content, assessments and analysis of student information and performance data by educators in K-12 schools throughout the U.S.
The Company paid $500,000 in cash, less the assumption of loan balances at closing; issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an undertaking to buy back the shares on the third anniversary of the closing at a guaranteed valuation of $2.00 per share, and a subordinated promissory note of $1,000,000 with a three-year term and interest at 8%, per annum. In addition, the purchase agreement calls for a performance based earn-out of up to $400,000, to be paid on a semi-annual basis on January 1 and July 1 of each year ending with 2017, based on the actual cash received from sales generated by the acquired business line during such period. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has paid $80,469 with respect to the earn-out. The seller has the option to receive any or all of the earn-out in the form of common stock of the Company priced at a five trading day average price. On January 20, 2015, the Company merged Brainchild into the Company.
DialedIn Corporation
On December 1, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of DialedIn Corporation (“DialedIn”) and merged it with the Company. DialedIn built a platform to create, distribute and track enterprise communications. DialedIn’s platform allows organizations to better communicate internally and improve sales and marketing communications by developing web-based, interactive communications and provides in-depth insights into audience engagement.
The Company issued 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $760,000, to the sellers of DialedIn. Each outstanding share of stock of DialedIn was cancelled and converted into the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 9 – SOFTWARE LICENSING
On March 2, 2016, the Company signed an agreement to grant a perpetual license for the source code of its QHIX platform (the “Licensed Software”) to a major software and services firm (the “Licensee”) who will serve as the Company’s channel partner. The Licensee provides health claims processing systems to over 400 health plans/payors and health care providers across the country covering over 150 million members. This agreement provides exclusivity to the Licensee in certain segments of the market, provided the Licensee meets certain performance requirements. Under this agreement, the Licensee paid the Company an upfront cash payment of $3.1 million, which has been included in revenue during the three months end June 30, 2016 upon satisfaction of certain conditions, in addition to quarterly royalty payments based on the revenues it generates by deploying the Licensed Software. The royalty payment agreement calls for the Licensee to pay up to $90 million to the Company by sharing revenue generated from the sale of Licensed Software. The license will be considered fully paid if and when the Company receives from the Licensee a total of $90 million in royalties. In addition to the upfront payment and royalty per this agreement, the Company will also receive annual fees for maintenance, support and upgrades; and professional fees for services such as implementation of QHIX and other related services. While the upfront payment is certain, the Company may not receive the full stipulated maximum royalty payments from this agreement. Certain market conditions, the performance of the Licensee, and the performance of the Company’s QHIX platform, will determine the total royalty payments the Company will receive. The Company may issue up to 3 million warrants to the Licensee to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75/share over a three year period based on the Licensee’s performance in terms of the number of lives subscribed on the platform.
NOTE 10 – NOTE PAYABLE - REVOLVER
In October 2014, the Company refinanced its factoring facility and replaced it with a new Asset Based Lending (ABL) revolver credit facility that has a term of 36 months and a maximum availability of $10,000,000. The ABL was priced at 4.5% over 30-day LIBOR (with a minimum floor of 2%) plus an administrative fee of 0.1% per month on the outstanding balance and 0.084% per month on the unused portion of the facility. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had borrowings of $9,863,260 under the facility. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had borrowings of $7,601,904 under the facility.
The credit agreement governing the facility includes two significant financial covenants: (a) the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) for the trailing 12 months cannot be less than 1.3 and 1.0. (FCCR is defined as the ratio of Operating Cash Flows to Fixed Charges, as defined by the credit agreement); and (b) the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio for the trailing 12 months to be between 1.0 and 3.0 (Total Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA, as defined by the credit agreement). As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants. Due to the Company repaying its debt in July 2016, the covenant requirements at June 30, 2016 were waived.
In addition, the Company entered into a term loan commitment with the lender for $3,000,000.
All borrowings under these credit facilities are collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable and substantially all of its other assets.
In connection with the financing, the Company incurred legal, loan origination and advisory expenses totaling $600,583, which have been recorded as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over three years as interest expense. Amortization for the three months ending June 30, 2016 and 2015 on the deferred financing costs is $35,346 and $35,346 , respectively. Amortization for the six months ending June 30, 2016 and 2015 on the deferred financing costs is $ 70,692 and $70,692, respectively.

(a) In December 2013, $2 million of the original $5,000,000 promissory note was converted to 3,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (at $0.60/share) and 1,666,667 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share through December 31, 2018. The warrant was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Company recorded additional interest related to the conversion of debt and grant of warrants of $1,350,000. In March 2014, the maturity date of the note was extended to December 31, 2015 without any further consideration. On October 1, 2014, the maturity date of the note was extended to December 31, 2017 with an increased interest rate of 6.5%. Additionally, 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was granted as additional consideration for the extension. This promissory note was repaid in full in conjunction with a July 1, 2016 financing. (Note 17).
(b) In October 2014, the Company entered into a term loan for $3,000,000. The term loan was priced at 8% over 30-day LIBOR (with a minimum floor of 2%) with a term of 36 months. The term loan, as amended, is payable over three years, $83,928.57/month from January 1, 2015 through and including December 1, 2015, and $104,910.71/month from January 1, 2016 through maturity. The Company also issued 250,000 warrants, exercisable at $0.60/share for five years. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants as $119,991, based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant of $0.48 per share; volatility of 355%; a risk-free interest rate of 1.64%; a term of five years and zero dividend; and has allocated the value of the warrants over the term of the note. The allocated value of the warrants of $119,991 has been recorded as a discount on the term note payable and will be amortized over three years as interest expense. This term loan was repaid in full in conjunction with a July 1, 2016 financing. (Note 17).
(c) In December 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the issuance of a senior debenture in the amount of $1,232,000 with interest at 8%. Interest was payable quarterly commencing on October 1, 2015, with principal payments of 25% on 1/1/2016, 25% on 4/1/2016 and the remaining 50% on 7/1/2016. The Company issued 2,053,333 warrants with an exercise price of $0.60 per share in connection with the issuance of the debenture. The Company is obligated to issue an additional 2,053,333 warrants with an exercise price of $0.60 per share in the event of a default.
The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants as $841,771, based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant of $0.41 per share; volatility of 349%; a risk-free interest rate of 1.64%; a term of five years and zero dividend; and has allocated the value of the warrant over the term of the note payable. The allocated value of the warrant of $477,000 has been recorded as a discount on the note payable and amortized over eighteen months as interest expense.
In lieu of the April 2016 required payment, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to the lender and to certain conversion and redemption terms, as defined. The Company repaid the senior debenture in full in conjunction with a July 1, 2016 financing and the 1,000,000 shares of common stock were cancelled. (Note 17).
(d) In January 2015, the Company issued a subordinated note for $1,000,000 with an interest rate of 8% to be amortized quarterly over eighteen months beginning July 1, 2016. This note was repaid in full in conjunction with a July 1, 2016 financing. (Note 17).
(e) On September 23, 2015, the Company issued an unsecured note for $32,898 at an interest rate of 6.7%, payable over 36 months.
NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In January 2016, the Company offered to accredited investors three-year, 9% convertible debentures (“Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000. Each of the Notes is comprised of a convertible debenture which is payable or convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.70 per share. Each holder of a Note will receive a detachable warrant to purchase common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $0.75 per share equal to 20% of the number of shares issued at conversion. Each warrant will have a term of one year post repayment or voluntary conversion, provided that the right to exercise the warrant will terminate upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a merger of the Company, as defined by the warrant. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has received $80,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of Notes, prior to the amendment of their terms described below.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of the conversion feature of the Notes and the accompanying warrants is bifurcated from the host instrument and recognized at fair value as a derivative liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and was initially calculated as $6,857. After the allocation of proceeds between the warrants and the Notes was made, the calculation of the fair value of the conversion price was noted to exceed the fair value of the trading value of the stock and no derivative liability will be recorded at the inception of the Notes. The discount due to the fair value of the warrants will be recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the Notes.

Table of Contents
In April 2016, the Company amended the terms of the Notes. As amended, each Note is comprised of a convertible debenture which is payable or convertible to shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.375 per share. Each holder of a Note will receive a detachable warrant to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $0.55 per share. Each warrant will have a term of one year post repayment or voluntary conversion, provided that the right to exercise the warrant will terminate upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a merger of the Company, as defined by the warrant. Under the amended terms, the Company has received additional gross proceeds of $389,955 from the sale of Notes as of June 30, 2016 and granted a warrant to purchase an aggregate 1,039,947 shares of common stock. The Company valued the warrant using the Black Scholes pricing model at $312,033. All of these convertible debentures were repaid in full in conjunction with a July 1, 2016 financing. (Note 17).
NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE
Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term and long-term debt. The carrying amount of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates its fair value because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. In addition, the Company believes that its short- and long-term debt terms are commensurate with market terms for similar instruments and approximate fair value.
The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into a three-level fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) . The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value are categorized based on a hierarchy of inputs, as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any assets and or liabilities subject to the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 14 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Legal:
On May 13, 2014, a claim was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara arising from a collections dispute related to vendors of an acquisition target of the Company. All plaintiffs were vendors of the target and are seeking recovery of approximately $222,000. The Company is vigorously defending its position and it is expected that enforcement of the judgment will remain stayed pending a ruling from the appellate court. The case has been fully briefed at the appellate level but no hearing has been set. In response to the claim, the Company has recorded an accrual in the amount of $123,000.
In the normal course of business, the Company may become subject to claims or assessments. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes, which are not readily predictable with assurance.

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Financing:
On July 1, 2016, Quadrant 4 System Corporation (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender made various financial accommodations to the Company in the maximum aggregate amount of $25 million, subject to availability restrictions as provided for in the Credit Agreement. The Company utilized the proceeds of the loans advanced under the Credit Agreement at closing to repay and satisfy in full all amounts owing to its former senior lender, as well as to repay various obligations owed in respect of subordinated notes previously issued by the Company and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and documentation of the Credit Agreement which all have been accrued at June 30, 2016 except the prepayment penalty fees in the amount of $123,009.
Revolving Credit Facility : The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with maximum availability of $7 million, subject to borrowing base requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement, which generally limit availability under the revolving credit facility to 80% of Company’s receivables to the extent such receivables meet eligibility requirements as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The revolving credit facility matures on July 1, 2019. All amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility become due at maturity.
Term Loan : The Credit Agreement also provides for a $13 million term loan, the entire principal amount of which was advanced at closing and used for the purposes stated above. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan in the amount of $812,500 until maturity. Interest on the term loan is payable at the end of each LIBOR interest period (but no less frequently than quarterly). The term loan matures on July 1, 2019.
Software CapEx Line of Credit : In addition to the revolving credit facility and the term loan, the Credit Agreement provides for a software capital expenditure line of credit in the maximum amount of $5 million for the purposes of funding the development of capitalized software platforms. The software capital expenditure line of credit matures on July 1, 2019.
Interest Rates: Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to: (i) LIBOR (for, at the election of Borrower, a one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR interest period) plus 450 basis points (4.5%)) per annum, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the Lender’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus 350 basis points (3.5%). The Company must also pay (1) a commitment fee ranging from 25 to 50 basis points (0.25% to 0.50%) per annum on the aggregate unused commitments of the revolving line of credit and the software capital expenditure line of credit, and (2) a letter of credit fee of 450 basis points (4.5%) per annum on the undrawn amount of any letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.

Overview
The Company is engaged in the information technology sector as a provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) systems to the health insurance (through our QBIX/QHIX/QWEX™ offering), media (through our QBLITZ™ offering) and education (through our QEDX™ offering) verticals (collectively, the “Platforms”). Along with the Platforms, we also provide core services that leverage on our proprietary Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) technology “stack” (a set of software subsystems or components needed to create a complete Platform). These services include Consulting, Application Life Cycle Management, Enterprise Applications & Data Management, Mobility Applications and Business Analytics (collectively, “Consulting”). We blend our Consulting services with our Platforms to offer client-specific and industry-specific solutions to the healthcare, media, education, retail and manufacturing industry segments (collectively, “Solutions”). Consulting and Solutions are referred to together as “Services”.
The Company generates revenues principally from two broad segments, namely Services and Platforms. The Services segment includes Consulting, which we bill on a time and materials basis; Solutions, which we bill on time and materials basis; and managed services, which we bill under fixed monthly fees for pre-determined services. The Platform segment bills on transaction basis such as per member per month enrolled for the QBIX/QHIX/QWEX Platform; per bandwidth consumed for the QBLITZ Platform; and per student per month for the QEDX Platform. The QBIX revenue stream started in 2015 and the QHIX revenue stream started in 2016. The Company expects to increase its Platform-based revenues during the second half of 2016.
Corporate History
Quadrant 4 System Corporation (sometimes referred to herein as “Quadrant 4” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated by the Florida Department of State on May 9, 1990 as Sun Express Group, Inc. It changed its name to Quadrant 4 Systems Corporation on March 31, 2011. On April 25, 2013, the Company merged with and into Q4 Systems Corporation, an Illinois corporation, in order to redomesticate to Illinois. In the merger, each share of the Florida predecessor corporation was cancelled in exchange for one share of the Illinois corporation. The Company subsequently adopted the name Quadrant 4 System Corporation.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The nature of our business model involves engaging employees and consultants to provide services to our customers with billing accrued and due in normal billing cycles. We also enter into subscription contracts for our software platforms under which clients pay a fixed amount every month. We incur debt to meet payroll obligations, the largest component of our expenses, and service debt with the payments received from our customers. We assist many of our employees and consultants in the immigration process which is an expense component. The Company utilizes few major capital items in the delivery of its services and requires no significant plant expenses beyond ordinary commercial office space for both use by its employees, on a limited basis, and back-office support for those employees.
Results of Operations
Our revenues and expenses reflect the assets acquired and new businesses acquired during the past two years.

EBITDA
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we report e arnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) , a non-GAAP financial measure, in this report. This non-GAAP financial measure is intended to aid investors in better understanding the Company’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future as seen through the eyes of management. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure facilitates comparisons with our historical results and with the results of peer companies who present similar measures (although other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently than we define them, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures). However, non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to the most applicable financial measure under GAAP, net income, refer to the tables below.
EBITDA for the three month periods ending June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was calculated as follows:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, which is June 30, 2016. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures specific to certain transactions were not effective. Rapid growth and inadequate staffing were the main reasons for such ineffective controls. Management has identified an action plan to remedy any ineffective controls that include additional staffing, realignment of existing staff, a search to hire a Chief Financial Officer, hiring of an outside consultant to assist with internal controls and creating a well-defined financial and accounting control matrix and procedures document which is in the process of being implemented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, and effected by the Company’s management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
§
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;
§
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management; and
§
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements
Management is committed to continuous improvement in all areas of controls and procedures. The Company has instituted additional procedures to review its interim financial statements and significant transactions with the audit committee on a regular basis.
Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not operating effectively as of June 30, 2016.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
In order to address certain separation of duties and governance issues the Company has added additional human resources as well as a realignment of existing staff in its accounting and finance departments and instituted additional procedures to review its interim financial statements and significant transactions with the audit committee on a regular basis in the spirit of continuing to improve internally.
These additions have improved accountability and created segregation of responsibilities across additional people which has resulted in improvement in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) subsequent to the year ending December 31, 2015.

QFOR has been hitting the press HARD the last week, and investors and traders alike have been taking notice. The growth and development we have been waiting for is here! The following release - Quadrant 4 Systems Corporation (Q4) Approves Operational Reorganization to Capitalize on Additional Opportunities in Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) - has the Small Cap Technology traders in a ruckus.
QFOR is making 2 Acquisitions to be announced shortly, rebranding the company by developing 4 concrete Subsidiaries/Divisions, and using their R&D to develop Massive Value Opportunities. Here is what Management had to say: Dhru Desai, Executive Chairman of the board, commented, "Over last 12 months Q4 has been making significant bets on R&D in developing proprietary platform technologies involving social, mobile, big data analytics and cloud (SMAC). Heading into 2013 we see the disruption from these four forces creating a huge market opportunity for Q4 as provider of end-to-end solutions to main stream IT buyers and enable them to efficiently adopt a SMAC strategy."
QFOR has the FINANCIAL GROWTH, TOP LINE Ambition, Managerial Vision, and the Technologies and Innovation to continue to Create value for shareholders. We believe the Daily Chart will begin to SHOW that Value and an Increased Market Cap as the Sales Growth and Acquisitions hit the Press!
There is so MUCH to like about the direction that the QFOR Management are taking this Thriving IT business, and we have identified some of the major reasons why accumulation is occurring. In the Short Term we have Acquisitions, Sales Growth, and Reorganization that will be driving even MORE investor noise.
