INX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1. Description of Business

INX Inc. (“INX” or the “Company”) is a provider of Internet Protocol (“IP”) communications solutions for enterprise-class organizations based primarily on Cisco System, Inc. (“Cisco”) technology. These solutions include design, implementation and support of LAN/WAN routing and switching, IP telephony, voice over IP (“VoIP”), network security, network storage and wireless networks.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements of INX Inc. include the wholly owned subsidiaries Select, Inc. and Valerent, Inc.
 
2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial data as of September 30, 2007 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The December 31, 2006 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of September 30, 2007, results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, have been included. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any future period.

3. Adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007.

The Company and its subsidiary file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and several states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. The Company is currently not undergoing an income tax examination in any jurisdiction. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits not recorded as of January 1, 2007, the date of adoption of FIN 48.

There were no interest or penalties recorded for unrecognized tax benefits in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007. There were no interest or penalties accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 does not: (a) affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value; (b) establish requirements for recognizing and measuring dividend income, interest income, or interest expense; or (c) eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Under a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2007 (the “SPA”), the Company purchased all issued and outstanding capital stock of Select, Inc. (“Select”).  Located in Boston, Massachusetts, Select is a Cisco-centric solutions provider focused on delivering IP Telephony, IP Storage and network infrastructure solutions throughout New England with approximately $40,000 in annual revenues.  The acquisition was consummated to improve the Company’s geographical presence.  The Company completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the SPA.  The SPA contains customary representations and warranties and requires Select’s shareholders (“Shareholders”) to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities arising under the SPA, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

The consideration paid at closing pursuant to the SPA was (a) $6,250 in cash, including $1,000 placed in escrow under holdback provisions defined in the SPA and (b) 231,958 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), which amount of shares was determined by dividing $2,250 by $9.70, which is the greater of (i) average closing price per share for the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending August 28, 2007 and (ii) $9.50.  The President and major shareholder of Select entered into a five-year noncompete agreement at closing providing for equal monthly payments of $21 over two years, which were recorded at their present value of $450.  Cash of $6,000 was borrowed from the Acquisition Facility under the Credit Agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC.  In connection with the stock purchase, the Credit Agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC was amended for the modification of certain financial covenants and for the addition of Select as a party to the Credit Agreement. Broker costs and professional fees of $480 were incurred in the purchase, of which $318 was paid in cash, $50 accrued, and $112 was paid through the issuance of 11,598 shares of common stock.

Additional purchase consideration is payable based on the Select branch office revenue and operating profit during the two years subsequent to the date of the SPA.  For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2008, if revenue is greater than $44,000 and operating profit contribution is greater than or equal to $1,760, then the Company shall pay the Shareholders additional purchase consideration of $600 and will pay the Shareholders an additional $50 for each $145 of operating profit contribution in excess of $1,760 of operating profit contribution up to a maximum of $600 with aggregate maximum of $1,200 in additional purchase consideration.  For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2009, if revenue is greater than $53,000 and operating profit contribution is greater than or equal to $3,710, then INX shall pay the Shareholders additional purchase consideration of $600 and will pay an additional $50 for each $150 of operating profit contribution in excess of $3,710 up to a maximum of $600 with an aggregate maximum of $1,200 in additional purchase consideration.  At the Company’s option, 50% of such additional purchase price may be paid in the form of Common Stock.  Additional purchase price consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

Datatran Network Systems

Under an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 3, 2006, the Company purchased the assets and operations of Datatran Network Systems (“DNS”). DNS is a specialized provider of network solutions serving the Southern California market. DNS designs, implements and supports solutions based on Cisco technologies with a primary focus on IP Telephony. The Company completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The consideration paid at closing pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement was $1,000 in cash, including $100 placed in escrow under holdback provisions defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement and 71,003 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $500. Legal and other costs of $47 were paid in connection with the transaction, of which $32 was paid in cash and $15 was paid through the issuance of 2,105 shares of common stock. The $100 holdback was released from escrow and paid to DNS in May 2007.

Additional purchase price consideration valued at $500 and recorded as goodwill was paid to DNS in June 2007 for achievement of certain operating profit milestones during the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2007. The consideration consisted of a cash payment of $250 and issuance of 25,253 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $250. The calculation of the number of shares of Company’s common stock was determined by dividing $250 by $9.90, the average closing price per share for the common stock as reported by NASDAQ for the five consecutive trading days prior to March 1, 2007. Additionally, cash of $30 was paid to the broker of the transaction.

Network Architects, Corp.

Effective May 26, 2005, the Company acquired the operations and certain assets of Network Architects, Corp. (“Network Architects”), a data network and IP telephony systems design, installation and support business with branches in Albuquerque, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas. Additional purchase price consideration consisting of 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, were issued to Network Architects in June 2007 for achievement of certain operating profit milestones during the twelve-month period ending May 31, 2007. The additional purchase price consideration was valued at $677 and recorded as goodwill, determined by multiplying the shares issued by the closing price per share for the common stock as reported by NASDAQ on June 29, 2007.

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue Network Architects a maximum of 75,000 shares of common stock as additional purchase price consideration following the twelve-month period ending May 31, 2008 if operating profit during such period exceeds $726. If operating profit is less than the applicable milestone for any of the two years, the number of shares of common stock issuable by the Company will be equal to 75,000 multiplied by the percentage of actual operating profit during the period as compared to the applicable milestone. Additional purchase price consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

6. Discontinued Operations

On November 3, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell its Stratasoft and Valerent subsidiaries. Under a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) dated January 26, 2006, INX sold all outstanding shares of Stratasoft’s common stock for a pretax gain on disposal of $302. Key terms of the sale are summarized as follows:

• All outstanding Stratasoft common stock was sold for a purchase price of $3,000, which has been or is subject to reduction as follows:
• $800 placed in escrow, which is available to satisfy indemnified losses, if any, as defined in the Agreement. Funds placed in escrow are excluded from the estimated gain stated above. Approximately $580 in indemnified losses net of interest earned have been paid or presented for payment as of September 30, 2007.
 
11

 
• $221 representing a preliminary net working capital adjustment, as defined. The final working capital adjustment recorded during June 2006 resulted in the further reduction of the sale proceeds of $40.
• The Company indemnified the buyer for potential losses as defined in the Agreement to a maximum of $1,400, inclusive of amounts placed in escrow. Excess funds held in escrow will be released on January 26, 2008 unless retained in escrow for potential indemnified losses as allowed in the Agreement under certain circumstances.
• The Company may receive additional consideration in the form of 10% of the outstanding Stratasoft common stock if revenue exceeds $10,000 for any consecutive twelve month period within two years of closing.
• The Company may receive additional cash consideration if Stratasoft is sold by the buyer to another party prior to January 26, 2008, for an amount in excess of $15,000.

Transaction costs of $815 were incurred by the Company in connection with the transaction, including the $128 value of warrants issued to the investment banker for the transaction for 40,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $6 per share. The warrants expire 5 years after January 26, 2006. Additional transaction costs of up to $120 are payable based on the final sale price. Additional costs of $134 were recorded as a reduction of the gain on sale for space leased by INX that will not be subleased to Stratasoft in the future.

The sale of Valerent operations involved two separate transactions which were closed in October 2006. The managed services business and related inventory, property and equipment were sold to OuterNet Management, L.P. for a cash sales price of $185. The consulting business and related property and equipment were sold to Vicano Acquisition Corp., a company owned by Valerent’s former President and brother-in-law of the Company’s CEO and largest shareholder. The consulting business was sold for cash paid at closing of $50 and a $70 promissory note to be received in twenty-four monthly installments of $3 plus interest of 10%. Additional consideration of $26 was earned for the first earnout period ended October 12, 2007 and additional consideration is due to the Company if certain revenue thresholds and conditions are met during the second earnout period ended October 12, 2008. The Company recorded a gain of $25 on the cash component of the transactions and will record a gain on proceeds under the $70 promissory note as received, of which a cumulative total of $29 was received through September 30, 2007.

The results of operations and gain on disposal of discontinued operations are summarized below:

Prior to 2004, the Company sold a computer products reselling business, PBX telephone systems dealer business, and the Telecom Systems division.  During 2006, pending litigation was settled relative to its discontinued Telecom and Computer Products Divisions, with the impact reflected in the gain on disposal of discontinued operations detailed above.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period and the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants less the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise proceeds using the average market price of the Company’s common stock for each of the periods presented.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

8. Credit Facility

On April 30, 2007, the Company entered into a new $50,000 senior credit facility agreement (“Agreement”) with Castle Pines Capital LLC (“CPC”) to provide inventory financing and to fund working capital requirements. The new facility with CPC replaced the $40,000 senior credit facility with CPC. Key terms of the Agreement are summarized as follows:

 
·
The Agreement provides a discretionary line of credit up to a maximum aggregate amount of $50,000 to purchase inventory from CPC approved vendors.
 
·
The Agreement provides a working capital revolving line of credit under the above line of credit with an aggregate outstanding sublimit of $10 million.
 
·
The working capital revolving line of credit incurs interest payable monthly at the rate of prime plus 0.5%.
 
·
The Agreement contains customary covenants regarding maintenance of insurance coverage, maintenance of and reporting collateral, and submission of financial statements. The Agreement also contains covenants measured as of the end of each calendar quarter covering required maintenance of minimum current ratio, tangible net worth, working capital, and total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio (all as defined in the Agreement, as amended).
 
·
The credit facility is collaterized by substantially all assets of the Company.
 
·
The term of the Agreement is for one year, with automatic renewals for one year periods, except as otherwise provided under the Agreement.
 
On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment (“Amendment”) to the above Agreement to provide an additional $10 million credit facility specifically for acquisitions (“Acquisition Facility”).  Advances under the Acquisition Facility will be specific to each acquisition and subject to approval by CPC based on pre-established criteria contained in the Amendment.  Key terms of the Amendment are summarized as follows: 
 
 
·
$10,000 maximum aggregate commitment for acquisitions.
 
·
Advances under the Acquisition Facility are not to exceed 80% of purchase price or six times adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Amendment, for the twelve months immediately preceding the acquisition closing date.
 
·
Interest is payable at the rate of prime plus 2%.
 
·
An acquisition commitment fee of 1% of the advance amount is payable with one-eighth paid at closing and seven-eighths paid with each loan funding.
 
·
Repayment of each advance under the Acquisition Facility is interest only for first year then amortizing for 36 to 48 months, to be determined for each advance, with no penalty to prepay any principal balance. The loan will also be reduced annually by an amount equal to 25% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Amendment, beginning December 31, 2008.
 
·
CPC may negotiate with the Company to revise existing financial covenants in conjunction with each advance as required.
 
·
Termination date of the senior credit facility was extended to August 1, 2009, subject to automatic renewal as defined in the Amendment.
 
9. Share-Based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award. The fair value of options granted during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were calculated using the following estimated weighted average assumptions:

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility over the period that IP communications solutions was the primary line of business of the Company. Beginning in 2006, the Company used the simplified method outlined in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to estimate expected lives for options granted in any period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected term assumption. The Company has not historically issued any dividends and does not expect to in the future.

Share-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

10. Stockholders’ Equity 

In January 2007, INX issued warrants to an investor relations firm under a personal services agreement to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $8.00 per share expiring January 1, 2009. Warrants for 25,000 shares are exercisable immediately and resulted in a charge to selling, general and administrative expense and a credit to additional paid-in capital of $40 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. Warrants for 25,000 shares are exercisable after June 30, 2007 and resulted in a charge to selling, general and administrative expense and a credit to additional paid-in capital of $46 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Upon re-election to the Board of Directors in May 2007, INX issued 9,072 shares to its non-employee directors.  The issued shares were valued at $90 determined by multiplying the shares issued by the closing price per share for the common stock as reported by NASDAQ on May 15, 2007.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company served as a subcontractor to Complete Communications Services, Inc. (“CoCom”), a subcontractor on certain school district contracts during 2007. On August 24, 2007, CoCom filed a Chapter 11 Petition in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company has accounts receivable from CoCom of $325, less an allowance for doubtful accounts of $96.  Performance and subcontractor bonds were provided by general contractors under the school district contracts from which repayment of the CoCom accounts receivable may be recovered by the Company.  Additionally, the Company received payments of $102 during the ninety day period preceding the bankruptcy filing which could potentially be deemed preferential.  The Company’s accounts receivable and potential preferential payments, to the extent the lien was perfected, represent trust funds carrying a higher priority bankruptcy claim than unsecured creditors and possibly other secured creditors.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company has provided a $96 allowance specific to an unperfected lien on a school district contract for which the likelihood of asset impairment of the CoCom accounts receivable is probable.   With respect to the remaining CoCom accounts receivable and potential preferential payment liabilities, the Company believes the range of loss to be from $0 to $222.  Due to the uncertainty surrounding the issues involved in this matter and based on the facts and circumstances known to date, the Company believes that an estimate of loss, if any, that may be incurred cannot be made at this time and, as a result, there is no assurance that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.

On December 22, 2005, CenterPoint Energy Service Company filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Harris County, Texas styled CenterPoint Energy Service Company (“CenterPoint”), LLC v. InterNetwork Experts, Inc. (now INX, Inc.), Yellow Transportation, Inc. and Cisco Systems, Inc. claiming damages to product during shipment estimated to be $488 plus consequential damages, legal fees, court costs, and interest. On April 26, 2007 the Company settled its lawsuit with CenterPoint, resulting in a charge to selling, general and administrative expense of $50 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

INX is also party to other litigation and claims which management believes are normal in the course of its operations. While the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, INX believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.

On January 19, 2007, the Company was notified that a customer was terminating a NetSurant support services contract effective February 28, 2007. The customer paid a contract termination payment of $239 in June 2007, on which service revenue of $222 was recognized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Acquisitions

Under a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2007 (the “SPA”), we purchased all issued and outstanding capital stock of Select, Inc. (“Select”).  Located in Boston, Massachusetts, Select is a Cisco-centric solutions provider focused on delivering IP Telephony, IP Storage and network infrastructure solutions throughout New England with approximately $40,000 in annual revenues.  The acquisition was consummated to improve our geographical presence.  We completed the acquisition simultaneously with the execution of the SPA.  The SPA contains customary representations and warranties and requires Select’s shareholders (“Shareholders”) to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising under the SPA, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

The consideration paid at closing pursuant to the SPA was (a) $6,250 in cash, including $1,000 placed in escrow under holdback provisions defined in the SPA and (b) 231,958 shares of our Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), which amount of shares was determined by dividing $2,250 by $9.70, which is the greater of (i) average closing price per share for the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending August 28, 2007 and (ii) $9.50.  The President and major shareholder of Select entered into a five-year noncompete agreement at closing providing for equal monthly payments of $21 over two years, which were recorded at their present value of $450.  Cash of $6,000 was borrowed from the Acquisition Facility under the Credit Agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC.  In connection with the stock purchase, the Credit Agreement with Castle Pines Capital LLC was amended for the modification of certain financial covenants and for the addition of Select as a party to the Credit Agreement. Broker costs and professional fees of $480 were incurred in the purchase, of which $318 was paid in cash, $50 accrued, and $112 was paid through the issuance of 11,598 shares of common stock.

Additional purchase consideration is payable based on the Select branch office revenue and operating profit during the two years subsequent to the date of the SPA.  For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2008, if revenue is greater than $44,000 and operating profit contribution is greater than or equal to $1,760, then we shall pay the Shareholders additional purchase consideration of $600 and will pay the Shareholders an additional $50 for each $145 of operating profit contribution in excess of $1,760 of operating profit contribution up to a maximum of $600 with aggregate maximum of $1,200 in additional purchase consideration.  For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2009, if revenue is greater than $53,000 and operating profit contribution is greater than or equal to $3,710, then we shall pay the Shareholders additional purchase consideration of $600 and will pay an additional $50 for each $150 of operating profit contribution in excess of $3,710 up to a maximum of $600 with an aggregate maximum of $1,200 in additional purchase consideration.  At our option, 50% of such additional purchase price may be paid in the form of Common Stock.  Additional purchase price consideration, if any, will be recorded as goodwill.

Revenue. Total revenue increased by $6,754, or 14.9%, to $51,998 from $45,244. Products revenue increased $5,375, or 13.5% to $45,222 from $39,847. The increase in products revenue was primarily due to revenue from the Select acquisition and revenue increases in our Austin and Dallas locations, partially offset by a decrease in large projects in the Houston location.  Services revenue increased $1,379 or 25.6% to $6,776 from $5,397. The increase in services revenue was primarily due to large projects in our Pacific Northwest location, revenue from the Select acquisition, and continued growth in the NetSurant® post-sale recurring support services revenue, which increased 30.8% to $1,001 from $765.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased by $1,404, or 17.2%, to $9,553 from $8,149. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 18.4% from 18.0%, due to higher 2007 products revenue margins partially offset by lower 2007 services revenue margins. Gross profit on the products sales component increased $1,255 or 18.9%, to $7,887 from $6,632 and, as a percentage of sales, increased to 17.4% from 16.6%. The improvement from the third quarter of 2006 is primarily due to higher vendor rebates as a percentage of products revenue and less large volume, low margin projects. Gross profit on services revenue increased $149 or 9.8% to $1,666 from $1,517 and gross profit as a percent of services revenue decreased to 24.6% from 28.1%. The decrease in services gross margin was primarily due to lower margins on services revenue from the Boston acquisition combined with increased use of outside contractors.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,111, or 14.9% to $8.543 from $7,432. As a percentage of total revenue, these expenses were approximately the same at 16.5% in 2007 versus 16.5% in 2006. Increased 2007 expenses were incurred for additional sales compensation costs on higher revenues and additional sales and administrative personnel costs from headcount increases.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $293 to $1,010 from $717, primarily due to higher sales and improved margins.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income (expense), net, changed by $95 to expense of $17 from expense of $112 due to the reduction of average interest-bearing borrowings under the credit facility in the 2007 quarter versus the 2006 quarter.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. Income from discontinued operations increased by $329, to income of $38 from a loss of $291. Income from discontinued operations of $38 in the third quarter of 2007 consisted of income from operations of $6 and a gain on disposal of Valerent of $32. The loss from discontinued operations of $291 in the third quarter of 2006 consisted of a loss from Valerent operations.

Net Income. Net income increased $753 to $1,024 from $271, primarily due to higher sales, improved margins and the elimination of the operating loss from discontinued operations.

Revenue. Total revenue increased by $41,170, or 37.4%, to $151,368 from $110,198. Products revenue increased $36,210, or 37.9% to $131,690 from $95,480. The increase in products revenue is primarily due to substantial revenue increases across virtually all locations and one month’s revenue from the Select acquisition. Services revenue increased $4,960 or 33.7% to $19,678 from $14,718. The increase in services revenue is due to the growth in installation revenue across substantially all locations, including a large project in the Pacific Northwest, and continued growth in the NetSurant® post-sale recurring support services revenue, which increased 54.9% to $2,705 from $1,603. The NetSurant® revenue of $222 from a customer contract termination payment recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was excluded from the calculation of the 54.9% growth rate.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased by $6,917, or 32.6%, to $28,105 from $21,188. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 18.6% from 19.2%, primarily due to lower 2007 products revenue margins partially offset by slightly higher 2007 services revenue margins. Gross profit on the products revenue component increased $5,584 or 32.1%, to $22,994 from $17,410 and, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 17.5% from 18.2%. The decrease from 2006 was due to large low margin projects, primarily in the second quarter of 2007. Gross profit on services revenue increased $1,333 or 35.3% to $5,111 from $3,778 and gross profit as a percent of services revenue increased to 26.0% from 25.7%. The increase in services gross margin was primarily due to improved utilization of internal technical staff.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5,479, or 27.0% to $25,757 from $20,278. As a percentage of total revenue, these expenses decreased to 17.0% from 18.4%. Increased 2007 expenses were incurred for additional sales compensation costs on substantially higher revenues, additional sales and administrative personnel costs from headcount increases, increased occupancy costs resulting from expanded locations, and higher professional fees due to the CenterPoint litigation and increased Sarbanes-Oxley consulting fees.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $1,438 to $2,348 from $910, primarily due to higher sales and proportionately lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income (expense), net, changed by $215 to expense of $0 from expense of $215 due to reduced borrowings under the credit facility.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. Income from discontinued operations increased by $249, to $97 from a loss of $152. Income from discontinued operations of $97 in 2007 consisted of income from operations of $50 and a gain on disposal of Valerent of $47. The loss from discontinued operations of $152 in 2006 consisted of a loss from operations of $923, offset by the gain on disposal of Stratasoft in January 2006 of $302 and the gain from adjustment of previously recorded accruals in the Telecom and Computer Products Divisions of $469.

Net Income. Net income increased $1,925 to $2,424 from $499, primarily due to higher sales and proportionately lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Tax Loss Carryforward. Because of our prior operating losses we have accumulated a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes that, as of September 30, 2007, was approximately $4.4 million and is available to offset future federal taxable income. This carryforward expires during the period 2023 through 2025. In addition to potential expiration, there are several factors that could limit or eliminate our ability to use these carryforwards. For example, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, use of prior net operating loss carryforwards is limited after an ownership change. If we achieve sustained profitability, which may not happen, the use of net operating loss carryforwards would reduce our tax liability and increase our net income and available cash resources. When all operating loss carryforwards have been used or have expired, we would again be subject to increased tax expense and reduced earnings due to such tax expense. The income tax expense recorded for 2007 and 2006 represents minimum state income tax payments due regardless of income or loss.  Due to the Company’s recurring losses, a valuation allowance was established to fully offset the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are collections from our accounts receivable and our credit facility with Castle Pines Capital (the “Credit Facility”), which we believe are sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. We use the Credit Facility to finance the majority of our purchases of inventory and to provide working capital when our cash flow from operations is insufficient. In 2007, we experienced positive cash flow from operating activities of continuing operations of $8,898 and positive cash flow from discontinued operations of $43. Our working capital decreased to $6,194 at September 30, 2007 from $7,632 at December 31, 2006, due to cash payments for acquisitions.
 
Accounts Receivable.  The timing of our collection of accounts receivable and payments of our accounts payable is one of the principal influences on our cash flow from operations. We typically sell our products and services on short-term credit terms. We manage our credit risk by performing credit checks, obtaining letters of credit in certain instances, and conducting our own collection efforts. Our accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $42,058 and $42,424 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The decrease in accounts receivable was attributable to improved collection of past due accounts during the third quarter of 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, which was substantially offset by receivables acquired in the Select acquisition.

Inventory.  We had inventory of $1,573 and $1,157 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. We try to minimize the amount of inventory on hand to reduce the risk that the inventory will become obsolete or decline in value. We are able to do this by relying on the ready availability of products from our principal suppliers. As noted above, we rely principally on our Credit Facility to finance our inventory purchases.  The increase in inventory is a result of product acquired in the Select acquisition.

Accounts Payable.  We rely on our Credit Facility to finance a substantial portion of our trade accounts payable under terms ranging from 30 to 60 days. Credit Facility balances within the Free Finance Period defined below are non-interest bearing and classified as accounts payable in our balance sheet. Credit Facility balances outstanding beyond the Free Finance Period are interest bearing and classified as notes payable in our balance sheet. Our accounts payable were $34,312 and $28,798 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The increase in accounts payable is a result of accounts payable acquired in the Select acquisition.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual cash obligations with terms in excess of one year consist of a software license obligation and lease obligations, substantially all of which are for office space. We do not have any material contractual purchase obligations. We purchase inventory to fulfill in-hand orders from customers and we attempt to minimize the amount of inventory on hand to reduce the risk that the inventory will become obsolete or decline in value. We are able to do this by relying on the ready availability of products from our principal suppliers.

We expect to be able to meet our contractual cash payment obligations by their due dates through cash generated from operations, augmented, if needed, by borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Credit Facility.   On April 30, 2007, we entered into a new Credit Facility with CPC which increased the total credit facility to $50,000 under similar terms and conditions as the previous Credit Facility as further discussed in Note 8 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. On August 1, 2007, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility with CPC to provide an additional $10 million credit facility specifically for acquisitions (“Acquisition Facility”). Advances under the Acquisition Facility will be specific to each acquisition and subject to approval by CPC based on pre-established criteria contained in the amendment as discussed further in Part II, Item 5.  Borrowings from the Acquisition Facility of $6,000 were utilized in connection with the Select acquisition.
 
As of September 30, 2007, borrowing capacity and availability were as follows:

(32,270)
 
Total unused availability
 
$
1,568
 

In addition to unused borrowing availability, liquidity at September 30, 2007 included our cash balance of $8,514.  The “unused availability” is the amount not borrowed, but eligible to be borrowed. The borrowing base restrictions generally restrict our borrowings under the Credit Facility to 85% of the eligible receivables, 100% of our Floorplanned inventory and 75% of Cisco vendor rebates receivable.

We use the Credit Facility to finance purchases of Cisco products from Cisco and from certain wholesale distributors. Cisco provides 60-day terms, and other wholesale distributors typically provide 30-day terms. Balances under the Credit Facility that are within those respective 60-day and 30-day periods (the “Free Finance Period”) do not accrue interest and are classified as accounts payable in our balance sheet. To the extent that we have credit availability under the Credit Facility, it gives us the ability to extend the payment terms past the Free Finance Period. Amounts extended past the Free Finance Period accrue interest and are classified as notes payable on our balance sheet. These extended payment balances under the Credit Facility accrue interest at the prime rate (7.75% at September 30, 2007) plus 0.5%.

As defined in the Credit Facility there are restrictive covenants measured at each quarter and year-end regarding minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio, minimum working capital and a minimum current ratio. At September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the loan covenants and we anticipate that we will be able to comply with the loan covenants during the next twelve months. If we violate any of the loan covenants, we would be required to seek waivers from CPC for those non-compliance events. If CPC refused to provide waivers, the amount due under the Credit Facility could be accelerated and we could be required to seek other sources of financing.

Cash Flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our cash increased by $6,719. Operating activities provided cash of $8,941, investing activities used $5,102, and financing activities provided $2,880.

Operating Activities. Operating activities provided $8,941 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to providing cash of $573 in the comparable 2006 period. Operating activities from continuing operations provided $8,898 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to providing cash of $1,089 in the comparable 2006 period. Changes in asset and liability accounts, net of effect of acquisitions, provided $4,782 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The most significant sources of working capital related to a decrease in accounts receivable of $6,031 partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $1,343.

Investing Activities. Investing activities used $5,102 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to a use of $2,514 for the comparable period in 2006. Our 2007 investing activities consisted primarily of purchase price and related transaction costs of $3,704 for the Select acquisition, $1,127 in capital expenditures, and additional purchase price and related transaction costs of $280 for the Datatran acquisition. Our 2006 investing activities consisted of the purchase of Datatran, using cash of $1,032, and capital expenditures, which used cash of $1,589, less cash provided by the sale of Stratasoft stock of $1,117, net of transaction costs. Capital expenditures in both years were primarily related to purchases of computer equipment and software, and to a lesser degree, leasehold improvements. During the next twelve months, we do not expect to incur significant capital expenditures requiring cash, except for acquisitions, of which we cannot predict the certainty or magnitude.

Financing Activities. Financing activities provided $2,880 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to providing $2,490 in the comparable period in 2006. The funds provided in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were primarily from borrowings under the acquisition credit facility partially offset by net payments of the short-term credit facility.  Funds provided in the comparable 2006 period were provided from increased borrowings under the short-term credit facility.

Related Party Transactions

We lease office space from Allstar Equities, Inc., a Texas corporation, a company wholly owned by James H. Long, our Chief Executive Officer.  The lease expires on January 31, 2014 and has a rental rate of $20 per month.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We incur certain market risks related to interest rate variations because we hold floating rate debt. Based upon the average amount of debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a one percent change in variable interest rates will not have a material impact on our financial condition.

Our business depends upon our ability to obtain an adequate supply of products and parts at competitive prices and on reasonable terms. Our suppliers are not obligated to have product on hand for timely delivery to us nor can they guarantee product availability in sufficient quantities to meet our demands. INX’s business is Cisco-centric. Any material disruption in our supply of products could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of certain members of our management, including our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, we and our management have concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures at September 30, 2007 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in these reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In the first nine months of 2007, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We will consider further actions and continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis, taking corrective action as appropriate. Management does not expect that disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls can prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. While management believes that its disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that fraud can be detected and prevented, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
