<P style="font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 6%" align="justify">Presently, the initial software contracts are accounted for
in accordance with paragraph 74 of SOP 97-2, &#8220;Software Revenue Recognition&#8221; (&#8220;SOP 97-2&#8221;). Since
the software requires significant modification or customization that is essential to its functionality, the criteria
for separate accounting are not met. Paragraph&nbsp;74 of SOP 97-2 requires revenue recognition utilizing Accounting
Research Bulletin (&#8220;ARB&#8221;) No.&nbsp;45, &#8220;Long-term Construction Type Contracts&#8221;, using the
relevant guidance in SOP 81-1, &#8220;Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type
Contracts.&#8221; The Company presently uses the completed contract method under SOP 81-1 to account for its contracts
and defers all contract revenue until the software is accepted by the customer and any refund rights have expired. At
present, we use the completed contract method as we do not have a historical basis on which to prepare reliable
estimates of percentage-of-completion for these contracts. Moreover, there are inherent risks with these early customer
implementations, such as changes in customer requirements or software bugs that make estimates unreliable.

<P style="font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 6%" align="justify">Accordingly, software revenue related to the license and
the specified service elements (except for PCS) in the initial contract are recognizable at the completion of the
contract, when (i)&nbsp;there are no material uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, (ii)&nbsp;cancellation
provisions, if any, have expired and (iii) there are no significant obligations remaining. The Company accounts for the
PCS element contained in the initial contract in accordance with EITF 00-21 &#8220;Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables,&#8221; whereby revenue related to the PCS element is based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair
value and is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the period specified in the contract. Upon renewal of the
PCS contract by the customer, the Company recognizes revenues ratably on a straight-line basis over the period
specified in the PCS contract.

<P style="font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 6%" align="justify">The Company acknowledges that its revenue recognition
policy erroneously states that it follows the &#8220;residual&#8221; method guidance contained in SOP 98-9
&#8220;Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions&#8221; to account
for multiple elements in arrangements that are accounted for under SOP 81-1. The appropriate guidance is contained in
EITF 00-21 and the footnote reference should have described it as such. The Company notes that a change in the footnote

<P style="font-size: 10pt" align="justify"><U>Company Response:</U> <BR>
At December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company was in
discussions with IBS Technics, Inc. regarding the possible sale of VISaer&#8217;s business. The Company reviewed the
events and circumstances related to the possible sale under the guidelines of SFAS 144, &#8220;Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,&#8221; and determined that it did not meet the requirements for
classification as a long-lived asset held for sale as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. Paragraph&nbsp;30 of SFAS 144 states
that a long-lived asset (disposal group) to be sold shall be classified as held for sale in the period in which <U>all
six</U> listed criteria are met. The sale of the VISaer business did not meet all six criteria at December&nbsp;31,
2007.

were not met:

software developers for VISaer. The buyer made an unsolicited approach to the Company expressing an interest in
acquiring the VISaer business to round out a gap in its product offering. Given the changing and difficult dynamics of
the worldwide aviation industry in which VISaer sells its products, a sale to a larger company with greater resources
and a global presence was of interest to the Company under the right terms and conditions. Management had no plan to
sell the VISaer business before being approached by the buyer and did not enter into any term sheets or other
agreements to sell the business prior to signing the Asset Purchase Agreement (&#8220;APA&#8221;) on April&nbsp;4,
