The differences in the reported pretax income of the Company between the Forms 8-K, on the one hand, and the Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q on the other hand, primarily&nbsp;reflect the recording of WIP that resulted in recognizing personnel costs for projects that were completed in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014. There would have been no such personnel costs to adjust in those two quarters if the Company did not record WIP, and the decision to record WIP was a practical one, as noted above.</FONT></P>

As percentage increases in the Company&#8217;s loss, they appear significant, but that is only because the Company otherwise had a relatively small pretax loss during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014. It is misleading to look only at the percentages. For example, $2.00 may be 50% of $4.00, but $2.00 by itself is nominal. In this case, the&nbsp;difference of&nbsp;WIP-related expenses&nbsp;in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 represents $173,000 of additional personnel costs, which when compared to the Company&#8217;s total personnel costs during that quarter of $6,499,000, represents a less than 2.7% increase in personnel costs, and only about a 1.5% increase in total operating expenses, for that quarter. It was immaterial. </FONT></P>

There was no specific intangible asset identified by management that was later reclassified to goodwill. The reason for the change was that at the time the Company made its preliminary allocation, <U>no</U> amount had yet been allocated to goodwill. ISD&#8217;s only intangible assets were software and customer relationships, and while awaiting the third party&#8217;s report, which took far longer than expected, the Company preliminarily allocated the purchase price only to the identifiable assets and liabilities and the balance to the identifiable intangible assets. The third party valuation firm used a formula to ascribe an estimated value to the software and customer relationships, and the $1.7 million balance of the purchase price was then allocated to goodwill. </FONT></P>

As described in the Form 10-K, the Company conducts an impairment analysis quarterly, and more frequently as warranted. In this case, the security at issue was an American Depositary Receipt of POSCO, one of the largest steel companies in the world. In terms of comparing the analysis as of June 30 versus September 30, 2013, the security&#8217;s price was approximately 13% higher at the end of September than it was at the end of June, the Company believed POSCO&#8217;s business remained fundamentally sound with good near term prospects, and the Company had the ability and intent to hold the security. On the other hand, even with the 13% increase in price, the security was still below the Company&#8217;s cost basis and the world market for steel products remained volatile. </FONT></P>

As of September 30, 2013, this represents only approximately 1.2% of the value of the Company&#8217;s investment portfolio (prior to the impairment adjustment). Because an OTTI impairment runs through the Company&#8217;s income statement, it can have a significant effect on quarterly earnings even though it has no effect on the Company&#8217;s business and very little effect on the value of the overall portfolio. But even if the amount is considered material in the context of calculating the Company&#8217;s quarterly earnings, the Company&#8217;s ICFR identified the issue and no financial statements were ever released without reflecting the OTTI.</FONT></P>
