NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations. Operating results for the three -month period ended March 31, 2006 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
 
 
1.
INVENTORIES
 
Inventories, which are comprised of hardware for resale, are stated at cost, on an average cost basis, which does not exceed market value.
 
 
2.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company complies with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilutions and is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Since the effect of the outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive, they have been excluded from the Company’s computation of diluted loss per common share.

 
3.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (Revised).” SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25 and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant-date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. The Company has not completed its evaluation of SFAS No. 123(R) but expects the adoption of this new standard will have an impact on operating results due to the Company’s use of options as employee incentives. This pronouncement becomes effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
In December 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” which amended SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions to require more prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income (loss) of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. As permitted by the Statement, the Company does not plan to adopt the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 at this time. However, the Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of the Statement.
 
The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or in excess of the market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.
 
 
5.
GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Since the beginning of the fiscal year, the Company has incurred a net loss of $1,031,190 and has negative cash flows from operations of $646,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and has a working capital deficit of $6,338,554 and a stockholders’ deficit of $11,593,322 as of March 31, 2006. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During 2006, management of the Company will rely on raising additional capital to fund its future operations. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenues or raise sufficient additional capital, there could be a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Callable Secured Convertible Notes

February 2006
 
On February 6, 2006, to obtain funding for its ongoing operations, the Company entered into an agreement with New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd. and AJW Partners, LLC (collectively, the ___________________________________________________________ "Investors") for the sale of (i) $180,000 in callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and (ii) stock purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to buy 180,000 shares of our common stock. The Notes bear interest at 12%, mature two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the Investors' option, at a conversion price, equal to the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date. The Warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.03 per share. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is adjusted in the event we issue common stock at a price below market.

In connection with the above financing, also on Feburary 6, 2006, a director, officer and a stockholder converted $150,000 of deferred compensation into 21,428,571 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) and (ii) $781,369 deferred compensation into 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”). On May 18, 2006 the Investor reached a verbal agreement with Christopher Carey, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, whereby both parties have agreed to reverse the February 6, 2006 transaction issuing 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The effect of this reversal to the balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 is a $781,369 increase to accrued officer’s compensation and corresponding decrease to stockholder’s equity. The verbal agreement will be papered in the next two weeks.

March 2006
 
On March 17, 2006, to obtain funding for its ongoing operations, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Investors on March 17, 2006 for the sale of (i) $1,450,000 in callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and (ii) stock purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to buy 2,900,000 shares of our common stock.
 
On March 17, 2006, the Investors purchased $250,000 in Notes and received Warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2006, on April 12, 2006 the Investors purchased $200,000 in Notes and received Warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On May 12, 2006 the Investors purchased an additional $200,000 in Notes and received Warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, provided that all of the conditions in the Securities Purchase Agreement are satisfied, on the final business day of each month commencing in June 2006 and ending in January 2007, the Company will issue to the Investors and the Investors will purchase $100,000 in Notes and related Warrants thereafter. The Company or a majority in interest of the Investors may terminate the obligation to issue additional Notes and Warrants upon 30 days notice.

-8-

 
 
The Notes bear interest at 8%, mature two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the Investors' option, at a conversion price, equal to the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date.
 
9. Restatement of financial statements

In connection with the preparation of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company's management reviewed the Securities and Exchange Commission’s release on December 1, 2005 entitled “Current Accounting and Disclosure Issues in the Division of Corporation Finance” as Prepared by Accounting Staff Members in the Division of Corporation Finance, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C. The Company determine that an adjustment was necessary for the reporting of the Convertible Debenture Notes, Stand Alone Warrants and as a result of certain registration rights granted to the investors of these notes, potential Liquidated Damages that were not previously recorded.

Specifically, the Company deemed the Convertible Debt previously reported under EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 must now be reported within the guidelines of EITF 00-19 and therefore restatements of previously issued financial statements were necessary. In determining the amount of this restatement, the Company concluded that the fair value of the debt at all points in time was greater than the fair value of the Company in total. As a result, the Company determined that there is no value attributable to the Conversion Feature of this debt.

After reviewing the matter with its current and former independent registered public accounting firms, the Company has identified certain adjustments that necessitate the restatement of its financial statements for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004, the interim periods of fiscal 2005, and for the fiscal year end 2004.

These adjustments reflect the following with respect to the Convertible Debt:

Convertible Debt: In accordance with EITF 00-19, since there is no explicit limit on the number of shares that are to be delivered upon exercise of the conversion feature,the Company is not able to assert that it will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the conversion option. As a result, the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative liability rather than permanent equity, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings each period and therefore the previous reporting in accordance with EITF’s 98-5 and 00-27 for the beneficial conversion feature and debt discount should be restated as such.

In recording the valuation of the Convertible Feature Liability within the restatement, the Company has now determined that the fair value of this liability is zero due to the carrying value of the convertible debt exceeding the fair value of the Company. The primary impact of adhering to EITF 00-19 is to eliminate the debt discount previously recorded as equity. Additionally, the Company had deemed the Convertible Debt to be in default and has written off the loan acquisition costs associated with convertible debt, previously recorded as a Deferred Charge asset.

Specifically, the Company deemed the Convertible Debt previously reported under EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 must now be reported within the guidelines of EITF 00-19 and therefore restatements of previously issued financial statements were necessary. In determining the amount of this restatement, the Company concluded that the fair value of the debt at all points in time was greater than the fair value of the Company in total. As a result the Company determined that there is no value attributable to the Conversion Feature of this debt.

After reviewing the matter with its current and former independent registered public accounting firms, the Company has identified certain adjustments that necessitate the restatement of its financial statements for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004, the interim periods of fiscal 2005, and for the fiscal year end 2004.

These adjustments reflect the following with respect to the Convertible Debt:

Convertible Debt: In accordance with EITF 00-19, since there is no explicit limit on the number of shares that are to be delivered upon exercise of the conversion feature, the Company is not able to assert that it will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the conversion option. As a result, the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative liability rather than permanent equity, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings each period and therefore the previous reporting in accordance with EITF’s 98-5 and 00-27 for the beneficial conversion feature and debt discount should be restated as such.

In recording the valuation of the Convertible Feature Liability within the restatement, the Company has now determined that the fair value of this liability is zero due to the carrying value of the convertible debt exceeding the fair value of the Company. The primary impact of adhering to EITF 00-19 is to eliminate the debt discount previously recorded as equity. Additionally, the Company had deemed the Convertible Debt to be in default and has written off the loan acquisition costs associated with convertible debt, previously recorded as a Deferred Charge asset.

The following tables show the effects of the restatement on the Company’s quarterly results of operations for the first and second quarters 2004 and the first, second and third quarters 2005. In the tables that follow, the columns labeled “Restatement Adjustments” represent adjustments for fair value of the conversion feature and liquidated damages associated with the Registration Rights Agreement.

Following the merger, Acquisition Sub, the survivor of the merger, changed its name to Stronghold Technologies, Inc. (NJ) and remains our only wholly-owned subsidiary. On July 11, 2002, we changed our name from TDT Development, Inc. to Stronghold Technologies, Inc. On July 19, 2002, we exchanged all of the shares that we held in our two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Terre di Toscana, Inc. and Terres Toscanes, Inc., which conducted an import and distribution business specializing in truffle-based food product, for 75,000 shares of our common stock held by Mr. Pietro Bortolatti, our former president.

Overview of our Handheld Technology Business
 
On May 16, 2002, we entered the handheld wireless technology business via our acquisition by merger of the Predecessor Entity. The Predecessor Entity was founded on August 1, 2000 to develop proprietary handheld wireless technology for the automotive dealer software market. Since the merger of the Predecessor Entity into our subsidiary, we continue to conduct the Predecessor Entity’s handheld wireless technology business.

Our past results of operations and ensuing financial condition have resulted from our allocating significant resources to the development of our wireless technology business for use by the automobile dealership market that have been traditionally slow to accept such products. We have achieved initial acceptance, which has resulted in our generating limited revenue. The sales to date from our inception through the first quarter of 2006 have been achieved through direct selling efforts defined as employees of our company selling directly to dealers. In March of 2006 we entered into an Agreement with the Humphries Marketing Group to manage a direct sales force as well as participate in the sale of our products.
 
Our Revenues

Our revenues are primarily received from system installation, software licenses and system maintenance. Since the inception of the Company through the end of 2005, the approximate average selling package price of the software system and installation has been approximately $70,000. Additional revenues have been derived from 36 month system maintenance agreements that have a monthly fee that has averaged $750 per month and a total contract value of $27,000.

The revenues derived from these categories from 2002 through 2005 are summarized below:

Software License Revenues: This represents the software license portion of the Dealer Advance Service Solution purchased by our customers. The software and intellectual property of Dealer Advance has been developed and is owned by us. The average upfront license cost to the customer has been approximately $35,000.

System Installation Revenues: This represents the installation and hardware portion of the Dealer Advance Sales Solution. All project management during the installation is performed by us. The installation and hardware portions include cable wiring subcontracting services and off the shelf hardware and handheld computers ("PDA"s). The average upfront installation cost to the customer has been approximately $35,000.

-18-

 

o Monthly Recurring Maintenance Revenue: This represents the maintenance and support contract for the Dealer Advance Sales Solution that the customer executes with the system installation. The typical maintenance contract is for 36 months and is $750.00 per month. The average total 36 month maintenance portion of the contact is $27,000. In the four year operating history from 2002 through 205, approximately 50% of all our customers have prepaid the maintenance fees through a third party leasing finance company. These prepaid maintenance fees have provided additional cash flow to us and have generated a deferred revenue liability on our balance sheet.

Historically, the average gross profit and cost of sales for the revenues associated with software licenses and systems installation are summarized in the following table:

New Revenue Plan for 2006 and the future

In order to resume the growth periods of client adoption experienced from 2002 through 2004 that reversed in 2005, the Company has created a new revenue plan that will enable the dealer to rapidly deploy the software by purchasing a base package that includes a desktop version only and providing the wireless network installation as an add on feature.

The price point of the software has also been reduced thereby enabling the dealer to enter into a contract to utilize the system with a minimal upfront expense and a reduced contract period that previously averaged 36 months to 12 months.

-19-

 

The new plan will include a set up and installation fee for the software of $2,500.00 and a monthly fee of $2,500.00. The monthly fee will include both the services associated with the customer relationship management (CRM) software and the maintenance. Approximately $750.00/month of the $2,500/month fee will be allocated to maintenance and the remaining $1,175.00/month will be allocated to customer relationship management (CRM) software. The allocation to maintenance is consistent with prior evidence of clients paying this amount for many years.

The Company will recognize the revenue as earned on a monthly basis as the software system is used. In the event that a client does not renew use of the system after 12 months, then the Company will turn off the software and leave the hardware behind.

In the event that the dealer wishes to purchase the wireless network system and handheld devices, Stronghold will only provide a site license for the wireless network and a per handheld license. The installation and maintenance of the wireless network shall be acquired by the dealer from an outsourced vendor not related to the Company.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATING EXPENSES

Our general operating expenses are primarily comprised of:

o Marketing and Selling;
 
o General and Administrative; and

o Development & Operations.

Our marketing and selling expenses include all labor, sales commissions and non-labor expenses of selling and marketing of our products and services.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Since our inception in September 2000, we have spent approximately $4,340,000 on research and development activities. While we have been successful in meeting planned goals in the development and introduction of DealerAdvance Sales Solution(TM), there can be no assurance that our research and development efforts will be successful with respect to additional products, or if successful, that we will be able to successfully commercially exploit such additional products.

Software license and system installation revenue decreased $71,573 in the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $13,944 as compared to $85,517 in the three months ended March 31, 2005 for a decrease of 83.69%. The primary reasons for the decrease in revenue can be attributed to the following:

·  
a reduction in the number of sales people due to budget constraints and lack of capital which resulted in fewer new dealership sales and
·  
repeated concerns in the marketplace about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Although we cannot provide guarantees, we do believe that our revenues will stabilize and achieve prior period revenue levels. Additionally, we may increase revenues in the future as we further develop our third party distributors and as the market learns that the company has stabilized it finances.

Cost of sales on a percentage basis decreased to 11% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 45.17% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004 for a net decrease of 34.17%. The table below shows the Cost of Sales and percentage by category and the comparison in dollars and percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and three months ended March 21, 2005. The decrease in Cost of Sales as a percentage of revenue of 34.17% is primarily attributed to the decline in new installations and high gross profit margin associated with support and maintenance revenue.

Gross Profits
 
We generated $127,926 in gross profits from sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, which was a decrease of $15,547 from the quarter ended March 31, 2005, when we generated $143,473 in gross profits. Our gross profit margin percentage increased by 34.17% in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to 89%. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the reduction in new installations for the period while maintaining monthly recurring maintenance revenue.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Total Selling, General and Administrative expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $705,631, a decrease of 11.03% or $94,654 from the quarter ended March 31, 2005 of $800,285. The reduction in expense is primarily attributable to the reduction of staff from 17 in March 31, 2005 to 7 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The significant reduction in staffing resulted in a reduction of payroll expenses of $50,564 which was the largest portion of the $83,324 reduction.. Other significant expense reductions within selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 included the following:
 
·  
Rent expense of $10,836
 
·  
Employee benefits of $18,317
 
·  
Costs associated with financing of $43,287
 
·  
Accounting costs of $13,169 and

-23-

 
 
·  
Travel and automobile expenses reductions of $27,726
 
Our interest and penalty expense increased from $113,470 in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 to $183,350 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006..This increase of $69,880 is primarily due to interest expense attributed to the Convertible Notes
 
Operating Loss
 
The Company’s operating losses decreased by $79,107 in comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, which were $577,705 and $656,812 respectively. This decrease in losses is primarily attributed to the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses of $94,654 for the comparative periods.
 
Net Loss
 
We had a net loss of $1,031,190 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to $906,684 for the quarter ended March 21, 2005, resulting in an increase in net losses of $124,506. This increase of net losses of 13.73% is primarily attributable to the $133,733 in liquidated damages associated with the Convertible Notes, offset by a reduction in operating losses of $94,654.
 
Our loss per share was $.03 with a weighted average of 29,251,083 shares outstanding in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $0.06 loss per share in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 with a weighted average of 16,394,016 shares outstanding.
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We anticipate that any earnings will be retained for development and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors, subject to any restrictions or prohibitions that may be contained in our loan or preferred stock agreements, has sole discretion to pay dividends based on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual obligations and other relevant factors.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview

As of March 31, 2006, our cash balance was $882. We had a net loss of $1,031,190 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. We had a net operating loss of approximately $13,000,000 for the period from May 17, 2002 through March 31, 2006 to offset future taxable income. Losses incurred prior to May 17, 2002 were passed directly to the shareholders and, therefore, are not included in the loss carry-forward. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to take advantage of any or all tax loss carry-forwards, in future fiscal years. Our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2006 was $125,218, less allowance for returns of $60,000, and $285,015 as of the quarter ended March 31, 2005, less allowance for returns of $218,446. The reason for the decrease in accounts receivable, less doubtful accounts was due to the decrease in revenues. Accounts receivable balances represent amounts owed to us for new installations and maintenance, service, training services, software customization and additional systems components.

Financing Needs
 
To date, we have not generated revenues in excess of our operating expenses. We have not been profitable since our inception; we expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and will require additional financing to continue the development and commercialization of our technology. We have incurred a net loss of approximately $1,031,190 and have negative cash flows from operations of approximately $646,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and have a working capital deficit of approximately $6,339,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $11,593,000 as of March 31, 2006. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. During 2006, our management will rely on additional capital to fund its future operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues or raise sufficient additional capital, there could be a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and we may be unable to continue our operations.
 
We entered into a fourth Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investors on March 17, 2006 for the sale of (i) $1,450,000 in callable secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and (ii) stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to buy 2,900,000 shares of our common stock.

On March 17, 2006, the Investors purchased $250,000 in Notes and received Warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2006, on April 12, 2006 the Investors purchased $200,000 in Notes and received Warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On May 12, 2006 the Investors purchased an additional $200,000 in Notes and received Warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, provided that all of the conditions in the Securities Purchase Agreement are satisfied, on the final business day of each month commencing in June 2006 and ending in January 2007, the Company will issue to the Investors and the Investors will purchase $100,000 in Notes and related Warrants thereafter. The Company or a majority in interest of the Investors may terminate the obligation to issue additional Notes and Warrants upon 30 days notice.

-25-

 
 
The Notes bear interest at 8%, mature two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the Investors' option, at a conversion price, equal to the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date. As of April 12, 2006, the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the preceding 20 trading days as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board was $.02 and, therefore, the conversion price for the secured convertible notes was $.005. Based on this conversion price, the Notes in the amount of $450,000 issued as of April 12, 2006 were convertible into 90,000,000 shares of our common stock.

We may prepay the Notes in the event that no event of default exists, there are a sufficient number of shares available for conversion of the callable secured convertible notes and the market price is at or below $.08 per share. The full principal amount of the Notes is due upon default under the terms of Notes. In addition, we have granted the Investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property as well as registration rights.

The Warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.05 per share. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is adjusted in the event we issue common stock at a price below market.

The Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The sale of the Notes in the amount of $250,000 was completed on March 17, 2006, in the amount of $200,000 on April 12, 2006 and in the amount of $200,000 on May 12, 2006.  As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated on $650,000 in face amount of Notes issued to the Investors in connection with this financing.   The Notes are a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business which constitute a direct financial obligation of the Company.    In addition, the Company is also obligated on $4,680,000 in face amount of callable secured convertible notes issued to the Investors pursuant to other Securities Purchase Agreements entered with the Investors.

The Notes and Warrants were offered and sold to the Investors in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.   Each of the Investors is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

We expect that the funds raised in connection with the March 17, 2006 Securities Purchase Agreement, will provide the necessary cash to support operations through until the end of the fiscal year 2006. Since we do not have further financing commitments and may need to raise additional funds after the fourth quarter of 2006, this condition raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Financings
 
The Company has entered into the following financing transactions:
 
Loans from Christopher J. Carey, an Executive Officer, Director and Shareholder of the Company
 
On July 31, 2000, the Predecessor Entity entered into a line of credit with Mr. Chris Carey, our President and Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Stronghold. The terms of the line of credit made available $1,989,500, which the Predecessor Entity could borrow from time to time, until August 1, 2001. The outstanding amounts accrued interest at the per annum rate equal to the floating base rate, as defined therein, computed daily, for the actual number of days elapsed as if each full calendar year consisted of 360 days. The first interest payment under the line of credit was due on August 1, 2001. On such date, the parties agreed to extend the line of credit for one more year, until August 1, 2002.
 
On April 22, 2002, the Predecessor Entity issued 500,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Carey (which converted into 1,093,750 shares of our common stock when we acquired the Predecessor Entity on May 16, 2002) in exchange for cancellation of $1 million of outstanding indebtedness under the July 31, 2000 line of credit from Mr. Carey.
 
On May 16, 2002, the total amount outstanding under the July 31, 2000 line of credit with Mr. Carey was $2.2 million. On such date, we issued 666,667 shares of our common stock to Mr. Carey in exchange for the cancellation of $1 million of the then outstanding amount under the line of credit. We agreed to pay Mr. Carey the remaining $1.2 million according to the terms of a non-negotiable promissory note, which was issued on May 16, 2002.
 
On September 30, 2002, we renegotiated the $1,200,000 promissory note with Mr. Carey pursuant to a requirement contained in the promissory note with Bank. According to the new terms of the loan, Mr. Carey extended the repayment of the principal amount until December 1, 2005. Until such time as the principal is paid, we will pay an interest only fee of 12% per year. Mr. Carey’s promissory note is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the Company’s senior indebtedness. Subject to the payment in full of all senior indebtedness, Mr. Carey is subrogated to the rights of the holders of such senior indebtedness to receive principal payments or distribution of assets. As of March 31, 2005, $359,600 was outstanding under the promissory note issued to Mr. Carey.
 
On September 30, 2002, we entered into a loan agreement with AC Trust Fund to borrow an amount up to $375,404. Amie Carey, Mr. Carey’s daughter, is the beneficiary of the trust, and Mary Carey, Mr. Carey’s wife, is the trustee of the trust. This bridge loan is for a period of twelve months, with all principal due and payable on September 30, 2003. The 12.5% interest on the outstanding principal is due each year. At the end of the loan period, the Fund will be entitled to exercise 25,000 warrants at $1.50 per share. On September 30, 2002, the AC Trust Fund agreed to extend the term of their loan to December 30, 2003. On December 30, 2003, the AC Trust Fund agreed to extend the term of their loan to June 30, 2004. On March 30, 2004, the AC Trust Fund agreed to extend the term of their loan to March 31, 2005. On May 1, 2005, the AC Trust Fund agreed to extend the term of their loan to November 1, 2005. On March 31, 2006, the AC Trust Fund agreed to extend the term of their loan to May 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, $375,404 was outstanding under the AC Trust Fund loan agreement.

On March 18, 2003, we entered into a bridge loan agreement with Christopher J. Carey, for a total of $400,000. The agreement stipulates that the Company will pay an 8% interest rate on a quarterly basis until the loan becomes due and payable on June 30, 2004. We also issued to Mr. Carey 391,754 warrants exercisable for common stock for 10 years at a price of $0.97 per share. On December 30, 2003, Christopher J. Carey agreed to extend the term of the promissory note to June 30, 2004. As of December 31, 2003, $360,000 was outstanding under this bridge loan agreement. On May 1, 2004, Christopher J. Carey agreed to extend the term of the loan to June 1, 2005. On March 31, 2006 Mr. Carey agreed to extend the term of the loan to May 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006 $262,000 was outstanding under the agreement.
 
On April 24, 2003, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher J. Carey, agreed to convert outstanding loans of $543,000 to 603,333 shares of our common stock at a price of $.90 per share in conjunction with the Series B Convertible Stock Financing detailed below.
 
Financings from PNC Bank (Formerly United Trust Bank)
 
On November 1, 2001, the Predecessor Entity entered into a line of credit with Bank (now PNC Bank) pursuant to which the Predecessor Entity borrowed $1.5 million. This line of credit was due to expire by its terms, and all outstanding amounts were due to be paid, on September 30, 2002. On September 30, 2002, the line of credit came due and the bank granted a three-month extension. On September 30, 2002, we converted the outstanding line of credit with Bank into a $1,500,000 promissory note. Such promissory note is to be paid in 36 monthly installments, which commenced in February 2003 and is due to terminate on January 1, 2006. Interest accrues on the note at the prime rate, adjusted annually, which is the highest New York City prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal. The initial prime rate that applied to the promissory note was 4.750%.

-28-

 
 
On August 7, 2003, we entered into a modification of the loan agreement with Bank, of which the principal balance was $1,291,666 at the time of closing of the modification. Pursuant to the modification agreement, Bank agreed to subordinate its lien against our assets to a new lender and reduce the monthly payments from $41,666 per month principal plus accrued interest as follows: (a) from the date of closing through December 15, 2003, $10,000 per month plus accrued interest (b) from January 15, 2004 through December 15, 2004, $15,000 per month plus accrued interest, (c) from January 15, 2005 through December 15, 2005, $20,000 per month plus interest and (d) on the maturity date of January 1, 2006, a balloon payment equal to all the outstanding principal and accrued interest. We are current with our payment of $15,000 per month.
 
On January 9, 2004, we were served with a notice of an event of default by United Trust Bank, now PNC Bank, a successor by merger effective January 2004 with United Trust Bank, (“the Bank”), under its Loan Agreement. Pursuant to section 6.01(d) of the Loan Agreement, an Event of Default exists due to the Company’s failure to pay Payroll Tax Obligations aggregating in the amount of $1,089,897 as of December 31, 2003 (including estimated penalties and interest). The Company continues to make timely scheduled payments pursuant to the terms of the loan and is in forbearance negotiations with the Bank with respect to the default. On April 1, 2004, the Company received a second Notice of Event of Default stating that the Bank had accelerated the maturity of the Loan and declared all principal, interest, and other outstanding amounts due and payable.
 
Because we were in default under the terms of the loan due primarily to our payroll tax default, the Bank has instituted the default rate of interest which is 5% above the “highest New York City prime rate” stated above. We have entered into an installment agreement with the United States Internal Revenue Service to pay the withholding taxes, under the terms of which we will pay $100,000 by May 31, 2004 and $35,000 each month, commencing June 28, 2004, until we have paid the withholding taxes due in full.
 
On April 27, 2004, PNC Bank, N.A., as successor by merger to Bank filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Union County (Docket No. UNN-L_001522-04) against our company and Christopher J. Carey, in his capacity as guarantor, to collect the sums outstanding under the Loan Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2002.

On July 15, 2004, we entered into a fully executed forbearance agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. We made an initial principal payment of $420,000 with the execution of the forbearance. Additionally, we are required to make four consecutive monthly installments of $50,000.00 on August 15, 2004, September 15, 2004, October 15, 2004 and November 15, 2004 followed by the remaining principal on or before December 15, 2004. Failure to adhere to this schedule may cause the suit to be reinstated and PNC Bank may resume collection of the sum under the suit.

On November 12, 2004, the Company and PNC Bank agreed upon terms of an amendment to the forbearance agreement whereby by the payment schedule will change to include interest only payments on November 15, 2004, December 15, 2004 and January 15, 2005 with the final principal payment being made on or before January 31, 2005.

-29-

 

The company failed to make the final principal payment on or before January 31, 2005 and was subsequently put into default under the note. On March 31, 2005 the Company made the final scheduled payment and was released from all potential claims by PNC Bank.
 
Financings by Stanford Venture Capital Holdings, Inc.
 
On May 15, 2002, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Stanford Venture Capital Holdings, Inc., referred to herein as Stanford, in which we issued to Stanford (i) such number of shares of our Series A $1.50 Convertible Preferred Stock, referred to herein as Series A Preferred Stock, that would in the aggregate equal 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, and (ii) such number of warrants for shares of our common stock that would equal the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Stanford. The total aggregate purchase price for the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants paid by Stanford was $3,000,000. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants took place on each of four separate closing dates from May 16, 2002 through and July 19, 2002, at which we issued an aggregate of 2,002,750 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and warrants for 2,002,750 shares of our common stock to Stanford. . The warrants issued in 2002 were valued at $294,893 using the black-scholes model using the following assumptions and a stock price of $1.50:

·  
Conversion price $1.50;
·  
expected volatility of 0%;
·  
expected dividend yield rate of 0%;
·  
expected life of 5 years; and
·  
a risk-free interest rate of 4.91% for the period ended June 30, 2002.

In connection with our Series B financing, as partial consideration for the funds received pursuant to the Series B financing, we agreed to decrease the exercise price to $.25. With respect to the decrease in the exercise price and the warrants being treated as a cost of the series B financing, the reduction of series A warrants was written in to the Series B preferred stock agreements as part of the negotiation. At the end of fiscal 2003, Stanford exercised the warrants for 2,002,750 shares of our common stock.
 
On April 24, 2003, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Stanford Venture Capital Holdings, Inc. for the issuance of 2,444,444 shares of our Series B $0.90 Convertible Preferred Stock. The issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock took place on six separate closing dates beginning on May 5, 2003 through September 15, 2003. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to modify the previously issued five-year warrants to purchase 2,002,750 shares of our common stock: (i) to reduce the exercise price to $.25 per share; and (ii) to extend the expiration date through August 1, 2008. In addition, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher J. Carey, agreed to convert outstanding loans of $543,000 to 603,333 shares of our common stock at a price of $.90 per share. In addition, the Company and Stanford entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 30, 2003, in which the Company agreed to register the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no later than November 15, 2003. The Company and Stanford agreed to extend the date of the filing requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement to March 14, 2004. We have not yet filed a registration statement, and are in negotiations with Stanford regarding an extension of the registration filing date.

On March 3, 2004 and March 15, 2004 we received loans in the amount of $437,500 each from Stanford. We have agreed to pay Stanford an 8% annual dividend on the funds invested and to redeem the securities not later than three years from the date of funding. As of March 31, 2005 the accrued interest on the loan was $74,411. On March 7, 2005, the Company and Stanford agreed to settle the accrued interest through March 31, 2005 of $74,411 for 826,788 shares of restricted common stock. The price per share on March 7, 2005 was $.09/share.
 
Additionally, on March 7, 2005, the Company issued Stanford 373,212 shares as consideration for their consent to amending the agreement the Company entered into on June 18, 2004 with respect to the Callable Secured Convertible Notes Issuance (see the appropriate section below), changing the conversion price of the convertible notes to the lower of (i) $0.70 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date. The original agreement had the conversion price as the lower of (i) $0.70 or (ii) 50% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date.
 
Private Placements with Accredited Private Investors 
 
During August and September 2002, we entered into 9 subscription agreements with accredited private investors, as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 179,333 shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share. These private investments generated total proceeds to us of $269,000.
 
In October 2003, the Company commenced offerings to accredited investors in private placements of up to $3,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. In the period of October 2003 through January 9, 2004 the Company raised $225,000 under the terms of these private placements. The shares offered in the private placement are priced at the 5 trading day trailing average closing price of the common stock on the OTCBB, less 20%. For each share purchased in the private placements, purchasers received a warrant to purchase one half (0.5) share of common stock at 130% of the purchase price. A minimum of $25,000 was required per investor. The number shares issued under this placement total 509,559, at an average price of $0.44/share.

Warrants
 
On June 16, 2004, in connection with the issuance of the 12% callable secured convertible notes (the “AJW Notes”)the Company issued to Stanford a warrant (the “Stanford Warrants”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, expiring in five years, at an exercise price of $.0001,in consideration i) agreeing to a waiver of existing registration rights that included a lock up period for one year after the effective date of a registration statement prohibiting the registration and sale of Stanford’s securities and ii) agreeing as holder of Stronghold’s Series A $1.50 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) and Series B $.90 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Stock”), to waive any dilution issuances required by the Series A Stock and the Series B Stock as a result of the conversion of the AJW Notes or exercise of the Stanford Warrants into the Company’s common stock. This issuance of the Stanford Warrants has been accounted for as an adjustment of capital for the waiving of the dilution protection for the Series A and Series B preferred stock. The Stanford Warrants were valued at approximately $360,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model including the following assumptions: exercise price of $0.0001, expected volatility of 2.06%, expected dividend yield rate of 0%, expected life of 5 years, and a risk- free interest rate of 4.73%.
 
Callable Secured Convertible Notes

To obtain funding for its ongoing operations, Stronghold Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd. and AJW Partners, LLC (collectively, the "Investors") on June 18, 2004 for the sale of (i) $3,000,000 in callable convertible secured notes (the "Notes") and (ii) stock purchase warrants to buy 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Warrants").

To date, the Investors purchased $5,330,000 in Notes, and received Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,930,000 shares of the companies stock, in thirteen different traunches dated June 18, 2004 for $1,000,000, July 21, 2004 for $500,000, October 22, 2004 for $350,000, March 18, 2005 for $650,000, March 31, 2005 for $350,000, May 4, 2005 for $300,000, July 18, 2005 for $282,500, August 30, 2005 for $100,000, October 6, 2005 for $210,000, November 9, 2005 for $150,000, December 31, 2005 for $107,480, February 6, 2006 for $180,000, March 17, 2006 for $250,000, April 12 for $200,000 and on May 12, 2006 for $200,000. On Dec 20, 2005 the investors converted $5,186 of the convertible notes into 172,873 shares of common stock.  

The Notes bear interest at 12%, mature two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the Investors' option, at the lower of (i) $0.70 or (ii) 75% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the Company's common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date. The Company may prepay the Notes in the event that no event of default exists, there are a sufficient number of shares available for conversion of the Notes and the market price is at or below $0.57 per share. The full principal amount of the Notes is due upon default under the terms of Notes. In addition, the Company has granted the investors a security interest in substantially all of its assets and intellectual property as well as registration rights.

Restatement of financial statements

In connection with the preparation of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company's management reviewed the Securities and Exchange Commission’s release on Dec. 1, 2005 entitled “Current Accounting and Disclosure Issues in the Division of Corporation Finance” as Prepared by Accounting Staff Members in the Division of Corporation Finance, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C., may impact the reporting of the Convertible Debenture Notes, Stand Alone Warrants and as a result of certain registration rights granted to the investors of these notes, potential Liquidated Damages that were not previously recorded.

Specifically, the Company deemed the Convertible Debt previously reported under EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 must now be reported within the guidelines of EITF 00-19 and therefore restatements of previously issued financial statements must be done. In preparing the detail for this restatement, the Company concluded that the fair value of the debt at all points in time was greater than the fair value of the Company in total. This conclusion is the basis that there is no value attributable to the Conversion Feature of this debt.

After reviewing the matter with its current and former independent registered public accounting firms, the Company has identified certain adjustments that necessitate the restatement of its financial statements for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004, the interim periods of fiscal 2005, and for the fiscal years 2004.

These adjustments reflect the following with respect to the Convertible Debt and Stand Alone Warrants:

Convertible Debt: In accordance with EITF 00-19, since there is no explicit limit on the number of shares that are to be delivered upon exercise of the conversion feature, SGHT is not able to assert that it will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the conversion option. As a result, the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative liability, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings each period and therefore the previous reporting in accordance with EITF’s 98-5 and 00-27 for the beneficial conversion feature and debt discount should be restated as such.

-33-

 

In recording the valuation of the Convertible Feature Liability within the restatement, the Company has determined that the fair value of this liability is zero due to the carrying value of the convertible debt exceeding the fair value of the Company. The primary impact of adhering to EITF 00-19 is to eliminate the portion of the debt previously recorded as equity. Additionally, the Company has written off the loan acquisition costs associated with convertible debt, previously recorded as a Deferred Charge asset.

Stand Alone Warrants: The Company determined that the Stand Alone Warrants include a provision in the Registration Rights Agreement for  “partial relief for the damages to the Investors by reason of any such delay in or reduction of their ability to sell the Registrable Securities”. As a result, this relief for the investors should be accounted for as a liability and the previous reporting should be restated as such.

The restatement adjustments to the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, are summarized in Note 5 of the enclosed audited financial statements herein:

The Warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.57 per share. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market. Since the Company does not intend to issue common stock at below market price the warrants were valued at $NIL using the Black- Scholes option pricing model including the following assumptions: exercise price of $0.57, expected volatility of approximately 15%, expected dividend yield rate of 0%, expected life of 5 years, and a risk free interest rate of 4.23% for December 31, 2004.

The Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of shares of the Company's common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

All shares of the Company's common stock associated with this private placement are restricted securities in accordance with Rule 144 as promulgated under the of the Securities Act of 1933.

On March, 18 2005, the Investors purchased an additional $650,000 in Notes and received additional Warrants to purchase 650,000 shares of our common stock, completing the sale of (i) $3,000,000 in callable secured convertible notes (the "Notes") and (ii) stock purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to buy 3,000,0000 shares of our common stock that was agreed upon on June 18, 2004.

The agreement entered into on June 18, 2004 was amended on March 4, 2005, changing the conversion price of the convertible notes to the lower of (i) $0.70 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date. The original agreement had the conversion price as the lower of (i) $0.70 or (ii) 50% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
 
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, recently released by the Securities and Exchange Commission, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. The notes to the consolidated financial statements include a summary of significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, Financial Reporting Release No. 61 was recently released by the SEC requires all companies to include a discussion which addresses, among other things, liquidity, off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations and commercial commitments. The following is a brief discussion of the more significant accounting policies and methods used by us.
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of tangible and intangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
 
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. The most significant estimates relate to our recognition of revenue and the capitalization of our software development.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition Policy

Revenue is recognized under the guidelines of SFAS No. 48 "Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists" and has a four step process that must be met prior to the recording of revenue. The steps consist of the following: signing of sales contract, installation of hardware, completion of the training period and a signed contract from the customer stating they accept the product for the sixty-day trial period. Payment is due upon the completion of the trial period. The sales revenue and cost of sales reported in the consolidated statements of operations is reduced to reflect estimated returns. Service revenue is recognized when earned. All sales agreements with clients do not require significant production, modification, or customization of software, additionally all the functionality of the product is made available upon delivery, therefore the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Paragraph 8 of SOP 97-2 when:

-35-

 
 
1) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists as evidenced by a signed contract,

2) Delivery has occurred, please note that Stronghold does not recognize revenue prior to delivery,

3) The price of Stronghold's system is fixed and determinable as evidence by the contract, and

4) Collectability is highly probable.

Revenue related to the sale of products is comprised of one-time charges to dealership customers for hardware (including server, wireless infrastructure, desktop PCs, printers, interior/exterior access points/antennas and handheld devices), software licensing fees and installation/training services. Stronghold charges Sales Solution™ dealers for all costs associated with installation. The most significant variable in pricing is the number of handheld devices purchased. Stronghold has not determined pricing for Service Solution.

Once Sales Solution™ is installed, Stronghold provides hardware and software maintenance services for a yearly fee equal to approximately 10% of the one-time implementation fees. All dealerships are required to purchase maintenance with installations and pay maintenance fees on a monthly basis. Stronghold provides customers with services, including software and report customization, business and operations consulting, and sales training services on an as needed basis which are typically are charged on a time and expenses basis.

In very limited cases, Stronghold may offer customers a thirty or sixty-day performance trial period during which time performance targets are set. Stronghold installs the system and agrees to remove the system at no charge if the performance targets are not met.

A large portion of the dealerships enter into a third party lease generally with lessors introduced by us. We have entered into a number of relationships with leasing companies in which the leasing company finances the implementation fees for the dealership in a direct contractual relationship with the dealership. The lease is based solely on the creditworthiness of the dealership without recourse to us. The leasing company receives an invoice from us, and remits funds upon acceptance by the dealership. We receive all funds as invoiced, with interest costs passed to the dealership. These leases typically run 36 months in duration, during which time we contract for service and maintenance services. Stronghold charges separately for future software customization after the initial installation, for additional training, and for additions to the base system (e.g., more handheld devices for additional sales people). Depending upon the dealership arrangement, the support and maintenance contracts are either billed monthly and recorded as revenue monthly, or are recorded up front to deferred maintenance fees at the present value of the 36-month revenue stream and amortized monthly to revenue over the life of the agreement.

Deferred Revenue

-36-

 

Deferred revenue is recorded as a liability when we receive the three year maintenance contact in a one-time advance payment. We then recognize the revenue from the maintenance portion of the contract on a pro rata basis over 36 months as the service is delivered.
 
Software Development Capitalization Policy
 
Software development costs, including significant product enhancements incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility in the process of software production, are capitalized according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and development expenses. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005 we , we capitalized $65,455 of development costs in developing enhanced functionality of our DealerAdvance(TM) products. This compares with nil for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
 
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. This evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of our sole executive officer that acts as both the principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15e), our principal executive officer/principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our disclosure controls and that may be considered to be “material weaknesses.” The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined a material weakness as a “significant deficiency or combination of significant deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.”

We identified deficiencies in our internal controls and disclosure controls related to the treatment of our convertible debt and the related liquidated damages.
 
As a result of the identification of the misapplication of US GAAP rules, our principal executive officer/principal financial officer has concluded that, as of March 31, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses 

We have formulated a program to remedy the material weaknesses identified above.

-37-

 
 
We expect to (i) engage additional accounting personnel and (ii) increase our auditor’s review work quarterly, as well as, increase the areas reviewed and discussed with the audit committee and auditors beforehand, on any changes in accounting principles or revenue or expense recognition.

We plan to complete our remediation program during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2006. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
 
Except as set forth above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

-38-

 
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except for the following, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results:

The Company is engaged in arbitration proceedings with Lenard Berger (the Claimant), a former officer, with regard to a claim for damages for the Companys failure to remove a restrictive legend from 437,500 shares of common stock in Stronghold Technologies, Inc., additional unpaid salary accrued during his term of employment and pre-judgement interest on all amounts owing to the Claimant.
 
ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

February 2006 Financing

To obtain funding for its ongoing operations, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “February 2006 Agreement”) with New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd. and AJW Partners, LLC (collectively, the “Investors”) on February 6, 2006 for the sale of (i) $180,000 in callable secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and (ii) stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to buy 180,000 shares of our common stock.

On February 6, 2006, the Investors purchased $180,000 in Notes and received Warrants to purchase 180,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Notes bear interest at 12%, mature two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the Investors' option, at a conversion price, equal to the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date.

We may prepay the Notes in the event that no event of default exists, there are a sufficient number of shares available for conversion of the callable secured convertible notes and the market price is at or below $.08 per share. The full principal amount of the Notes is due upon default under the terms of Notes. In addition, we have granted the Investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property as well as registration rights.

The Warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.03 per share. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is adjusted in the event we issue common stock at a price below market.

-39-

 
 
The Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The sale of the Notes was completed on February 6, 2006.

March 2006 Financing

To obtain funding for its ongoing operations the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “March 2006 Agreement”) with the Investors on March 17, 2006 for the sale of (i) $1,450,000 in callable secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and (ii) stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to buy 2,900,000 shares of our common stock.

On March 17, 2006, the Investors purchased $250,000 in Notes and received Warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, provided that all of the conditions in the Securities Purchase Agreement are satisfied, on the final business day of each month commencing in April 2006 and ending in January 2007, the Company will issue to the Investors and the Investors will purchase $200,000 in Notes and related Warrants in April 2006 and May 2006 and $100,000 in Notes and related Warrants thereafter. On April 12, 2006 the Investors purchased $200,000 in Notes. The Company or a majority in interest of the Investors may terminate the obligation to issue additional Notes and Warrants upon 30 days notice.

The Notes bear interest at 8%, mature two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the Investors' option, at a conversion price, equal to the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date.

We may prepay the Notes in the event that no event of default exists, there are a sufficient number of shares available for conversion of the callable secured convertible notes and the market price is at or below $.08 per share. The full principal amount of the Notes is due upon default under the terms of Notes. In addition, we have granted the Investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property as well as registration rights.

The Warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.05 per share. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is adjusted in the event we issue common stock at a price below market.

The Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

As of May 17, 2006, the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the preceding 20 trading days as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board was $.02 and, therefore, the conversion price for the secured convertible notes was $.005. Based on this conversion price, the Notes in the amount of $5,130,000 issued as of April 12, 2006 were convertible into 1,026,000,000 shares of our common stock.

-40-

 
 
The Notes and Warrants were offered and sold to the Investors in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.   Each of the Investors is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

On February 6, 2006, the Company and Christopher Carey, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, entered into an Agreement of Settlement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Mr. Carey waived all rights to his accrued salary in the amount of $931,369 and in consideration for the issuance of 21,428,571 shares of common stock and 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series C Stock").

The Series C Stock has a stated value of $78.14 per share (the "Stated Value"). Each share of Series C Stock is convertible into shares of common stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share by the closing bid price on the day immediately before such conversion. The Series C Stock is convertible at the option of the holder and will be automatically converted into common stock upon receipt of financing (the "Financing") from the Investors. Upon receipt of financing from the Investors, the number of shares of Series C Stock multiplied by the Stated Value equal to the gross proceeds of the Financing shall be automatically converted into shares of common stock of the Company. On March 17, 2006, the Company received financing from the Investors in the amount of $250,000. Accordingly, Mr. Carey converted 3,199 Series C Stock into 12,500,000 shares of common stock. On May 18, 2006 the Investor reached a verbal agreement with Christopher Carey, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, whereby both parties have agreed to reverse the February 6, 2006 transaction issuing 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The effect of this reversal to the balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 is a $782,369 increase to accrued officer’s compensation and corresponding decrease to stockholder’s equity. The verbal agreement will be papered in the next two weeks.
