PART I
ITEM 1. DECRIPTION OF BUSINESS
As used herein the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Registrant,” “ISA” and the “Company” means, Information Systems Associates, Inc., a Florida corporation.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We have been in business since May of 1994. During the first twelve (12) years of operation, the primary focus of the business was to offer for sale, through ISA’s Value Added Reseller Agreements in place in several of the industry leaders, software products and services that allow companies to track and manage assets, primarily in the realm of corporate real estate and corporate IT network infrastructure including equipment maintained in corporate data centers. We refer to our product and services suite as asset management solutions. Our solutions reduce sourcing, procurement and tracking costs, improve tracking of data center assets.
In 1995, we became a Business Partner (a/k/a Value Added Reseller) with Avocent Huntsville Corp. (formerly Aperture Technologies Inc.) of Stamford, CT. At that time, Avocent’s Network Management tools (“System”), was one of the leading solutions in the IT field. For more than five years, Avocent Huntsville Corp. provided enterprise asset management solutions to customers in the United States, Europe and Asia and Pacific Rim. During this same timeframe, we offered Advocent’s enterprise asset management solutions to customers and prospects in North America.
The typical Value Added Reseller Agreement allows the vendor’s partner/subcontractor (in this case ISA) the ability to offer to its client’s and prospects a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software solution to address a particular business problem. The primary focus of ISA’s business is working data center operations, network management department and corporate real estate department to identify and then implement a software solution which addresses their needs based upon extensive research done prior to the selection and culminating in the purchase by the client and implementation by ISA of the chosen solution.
All of the products listed under our Value Added Reseller relationships (Vista, Vision FM, and RACKWISE DCM) are products developed by third parties.
The products obtained from third parties are done so through executed Value Added Reseller Agreements. Although each of the vendor’s agreements differs to some degree, the basic understandings are the same. Information Systems Associates, Inc. is authorized by each of the vendors to offer the vendor’s software as solutions to Information Systems Associates’ clients. In return, Information Systems Associates Inc. receives a commission on the sale of the software. The percentage ranges between twenty (20) and thirty (35) percent of the sale. The Company also may provide pre-sales support services to the vendor’s clients. In addition, Information Systems Associates, Inc. implements the software solution and provides training to its clients. On an ongoing basis, ISA can and does provide additional consulting services beyond those provided initially to the client.
The need for a better way to capture corporate IT asset information became evident to ISA’s management team. After reviewing the methods and technology in use at that time (1st Quarter 2006) for the purpose of data collection, it was decided within ISA to define a data collection process and subsequently to design and build a software solution capable of delivering quality data (output) through the use of programming techniques that incorporated many of the much needed features and capabilities, especially real time data validation. The result was that by year end of 2007 ON SITE PHYSICAL INVENTORY® (OSPI® ) was available for resale.
(1) |
Our customer list includes a number of leading organizations, such as Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems, Verizon, Huntington National Bank, T-Mobile USA, Inc., Cardinal Health, Inc. and General Electric.
Our application products are also used by corporate Real Estate departments to manage their real property lease obligations (as both tenant and landlord), to determine their company’s use of corporate space and to develop plans for relocations, mergers and acquisitions as it relates to the use of space (office, manufacturing, warehousing).
On April 17, 2009, we entered into a strategic alliance and became an investor with Rubicon Software Group, plc. This agreement will create an opening into the European market as well as provide cost effective software development. We continue to retain Rubicon as a provider of maintenance and product updates for OSPI®
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
Asset management software has existed for more than thirty years, initially through computerized maintenance management systems, and more recently including more comprehensive and robust enterprise asset management and enterprise resource planning solutions. The early computerized maintenance management systems automated daily management of assets, while enterprise resource planning solutions consolidate basic asset information with financial information at the corporate level. Enterprise asset management solutions encompass elements of both, serving as the next evolution of computerized maintenance management system solutions by bridging the gap between asset management and corporate-level planning and tracking requirements.
The key value proposition for enterprise asset management solutions is that they can provide a quick and quantifiable return on investment and return on assets. Cost and productivity improvements can immediately and measurably benefit organizations, and thus are highly desirable to potential customers, particularly in difficult economic times where the focus is increasingly bottom line oriented.
In addition to enterprise asset management solutions, we offer facilities solutions. These are natural extensions to enterprise asset management solutions, as organizations seek to extend asset management and corporate-level planning and tracking onto other elements of the asset lifecycle. The reference to “facilities solutions” includes software application products that are used by corporate Real Estate departments and to software application products used by Data Center Management (Information Technology) to track their computer assets from a financial perspective as well as their usage and connectivity within the corporate IT (Information Technology) network.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Aperture’s VISTA
In order to reduce operational risk and increase operational efficiency, it is essential for IT organizations to define best practices and implement IT frameworks (for example, the IT Infrastructure Library, ITIL) that create a more service-oriented organization. This includes standardizing and automating IT processes from a disparate set of ad hoc tasks to a cohesive, consolidated environment and developing a central repository of information to create institutional memory for the IT organization.
Many organizations have assessed the various facets of the IT organization to improve the logical environment. However, one component which seems to be overlooked quite frequently and that continuously operates within individual silos is the overall physical infrastructure of the data center.
VISTA600 by Avocent Huntsville Corp. provides IT Management with the key information and intelligence to reduce operational risk and improve efficiency in the data center. ISA has in the past and continues to provide consulting services, including data collection using its patented OSPI® system to Aperture’s clients.

VisionFM
VisionFM includes a very flexible asset management system capable of tracking everything from building components such as space utilization to office supplies. The Facilities Manager can define maintenance schedules for which the VisionFM system will generate alerts to those responsible for performing those services and track their status to completion.
ISA assists clients in the selection of VisionFM and provides implementation and training services as needed.
RACKWISE DMC
RACKWISE DMCTM services and products deliver key features to simplify and reduce the time consumed designing, modeling and operating the physical infrastructure of a datacenter. The features of Rackwise include:
· Auto-build visual documentation from imported bill of materials
· Cost savings analysis and reporting
· Modeling and impact analysis of datacenter designs and modifications
· Space, power, cooling, and cable management
· Generate detailed datacenter and rack visualizations
· Ensure racks and the datacenter are within design limits
· Instantly find available datacenter resources
· Improve utilization of power and space
Rubicon Software Group
Rubicon Software works closely with organizations to develop customized software solutions. Rubicon worked closely with ISA in the development of OSPI® v2.
RELATED SERVICES
In connection with our software offerings, we provide the following services to our customers: Consulting
A significant number of our customers request our advice regarding their business and technical processes, often in conjunction with a scoping exercise conducted both before and after the execution of a contract. This advice can relate to the selection of a DCIM or Facilities Management software system, assisting in the development of technical specifications, and recommendations regarding internal workflow activities.
Customization and Implementation
Based generally upon the up-front scoping activities, we are able to customize solutions to meet the customer’s particular needs. This process can vary in length depending on the degree of customization, the resources applied by the customer and the customer’s business requirements. We work closely with our customers to ensure that features and functionality meet their expectations. We also provide the professional services work required for the implementation of the selected solutions, including the loading of data, documentation of business processes, and integration to other systems.
(3) |
Training
Upon completion of implementation (and often during implementation), we train customer personnel to utilize the chosen Solutions.. Training can be conducted in one-on-one or group situations. We also conduct “train the trainer” sessions.
Maintenance and Support
We provide regular software upgrades and ongoing support to our customers.
We have been providing consulting, customization and implementation, training, maintenance and support services to our customers since 1994.
THIRD PARTY OFFERINGS
Other Partner Relationships
In addition to the sale of our core solutions and services, we entered into marketing or co-marketing agreements with companies that offer services that are complementary to our offerings. We market these complementary services to our customers and prospects and earn a referral fee if these services are purchased. In some cases our marketing partner markets our solutions to its customers and prospects and can earn a referral fee. At the present time, we have two marketing partners. They are Forsythe Solutions Group, Inc. (Forsythe) and Total Site Solutions, Inc. (TSS)
Forsythe serves as a technology infrastructure solutions provider, helping organizations across all industries, including Fortune 1000 companies, manage the cost and risk of their information technology. Forsythe’s data center services help organizations navigate through some of the more infrequent aspects of owning and operating a mission-critical environment—data center planning and information technology relocation. Our data collection solution OSPI®, and the services offered by us in conjunction with OSPI® are perfectly matched to the needs of Forsythe’s customer’s, for whom they (Forsythe) are either planning a new data center, expanding an existing data center or moving a data center to a new location. In the current environment of corporate acquisitions and downsizing, the services offered by Forsythe and in turn complimented by our offerings are well suited for these purposes.
TSS specializes in providing a single source solution for companies requiring highly technical facility integration and precision project execution for mission-critical facilities. ISA’s data collection solution OSPI® and the services offered by us in conjunction with OSPI® are perfectly matched to the needs of TSS’s customers. We have completed data collection services for two TSS clients.
BUSINESS CYCLES
Since many of our customers are large organizations or quasi-governmental entities, we may experience increasingly longer sales and collection cycles.
CUSTOMERS
We provide our solutions to customers in a variety of industries, including: healthcare, public authorities, and financial services sectors. Our services are not industry specific and therefore are not limited by industry.
The services provided vary depending upon the needs of the customer and the solution concerned. We collect service fees for implementation and training, and support and maintenance fees. The criteria used to select the customers listed in the business section and other sections of the document are based on their prominence within their industry, such as Northrop Grumman, General Electric and Comcast Communications. We do not list companies based upon any specific amount of revenue derived or whether or not they are currently active clients, but rather we have selected these clients based upon the scope of the consulting engagement. This approach provides us with clients from various industries as this sometimes becomes crucial to a prospect in their vendor selection process.
(4) |
We began our relationship with General Electric in 2008 by providing data center audit services. This was followed by providing data collection services. In September, 2008 GE purchased one of the first licenses for OSPI® and the related handheld devices and support services.

SALES AND MARKETING
We previously marketed our services primarily through referrals from companies with whom ISA had either a reseller’s agreement in place, are authorized to provide consulting service to their client’s, or both.
Potential customers were identified through direct contact, responses to requests for information, attendance at trade shows and through industry contacts. We principally focused on professionals and ongoing lead generation through our partner relationships and their VAR (Valued Added Reseller) program referrals.
We use reference customers to assist us in our marketing efforts, both through direct contact with potential customers and through site branding and case studies. We also rely on our co-marketing partners to assist in our marketing efforts.
In January 2011, the company hired sales and marketing representatives to pursue potential customers and channel distribution relationships.
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
As Valued Added Resellers, Information Systems Associates, Inc. has sought out and identified those solutions that are based upon proven technology platforms and contain the desired functionality to meet or exceed its client’s expectations.
Our partner’s technology platform are based on Microsoft core applications, including the Windows operating system and a relational database, all residing on scalable server hardware.
This platform is widely accepted within commercial business and government entities worldwide.
(5) |
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Our initial software development was aimed at defining the core functionality elements of our software application OSPI® , the features and functionality of the follow-up releases, the development of new software components, and the integration of superior third party technology into our environment. .
The strategic alliance with Rubicon allowed us to rewrite OSPI®, version 2, on budget and within the prescribed time frame. OSPI®, version 2 became available December 1, 2009.
COMPETITION
The market for our asset management suite is moderately competitive based on the most recent competitive analysis conducted by ISA. The companies we compete with have much greater financial, technical, research and development resources than us.
The system integration consulting field is comprised of many categories of specialties. There are integrators who specialize in software integration by industry (automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, defense, etc.) and therefore are not considered to be competitors. Our primary competitors in this space are the other Value Added Resellers representing the same products as Information Systems Associates. The relationship with the vendor (software developers) is crucial in gaining an edge on the competition. This relationship is usually strengthened by such factors as the client relationships that the Value Added Reseller already has in place as well as the Value Added Resellers ability to successfully implement and maintain the vendor’s solution to the vendor’s satisfaction. We believe that Information Systems Associates has developed strong relationships with the solution vendors that it represents which in turn has and will continue to provide Information Systems Associates with sales of its consulting service offerings. We at Information Systems Associates believe that the foundation for this relationship is built upon trust.
The data collection services field has been in existence for many industries for years. The idea of hiring outside companies to conduct inventories of corporate data centers is not new. There are many vendors in this space today that are using techniques that employ the use of text based list or a formatted spread sheet. Information Systems Associates has developed a data collection process for IT assets that employs real time data validation, combined bar code scanning which as best as can be determined is unique in the industry. The major importance of this approach is that the data exported (extracted) from Information Systems Associates’ data collection application has been validated and is available immediately to be imported into the client’s asset management solution. This saves a significant amount of time (could be days or even weeks) in researching errors that are uncovered by the application at the time of the data import.
To become more competitive, we will need to make investments in new product development and improve our market visibility and financial situation. A prime example of this investment is OSPI®, version 2 which provides a cost efficient solution.
Although we offer a broad range of asset network and facilities management solutions as Value Added Resellers, we face significant competition in each of the component product areas from the following companies:
§ Enterprise asset management – related solutions – ShowRack, Nlyte, iTRACS
§ Facilities Management – related solutions – Archibus
In addition, we face competition from organizations that use in-house developers to develop solutions for certain elements of the asset management.
ISA considers data collection and the software it has developed to perform these services, OSPI®, to be one of the two areas of focus for our business. It is the intent of ISA management to promote the software as the practical solution to the specific problems encountered during the data collection process for IT (Information Technology) assets. The promotion of the product and services occurs through direct sales and marketing as well as via industry trade show exhibition and mailings to a targeted audience.
ISA competes for business based on the recommendations of the software vendors for whose product solutions our data collection software is compatible. At the present time, OSPI® is compatible with two vendor’s solution; VISTA600 by Avocent Huntsville Corp. (formally Aperture Technologies Inc.) and RACKWISE DCM by Visual Network Design. ISA believes that its current pricing structure combined with the extensive number of data validation processes included in its product make it very competitive. The vast majority of data collection services in existence are focused on the retail industry. Of the competitors that we have been able to identify, our research has not produced any information that would lead us to believe that the competitors can provide the same level of quality services that ISA is capable of delivering with its software solution.
(6) |
Visual Network Design (VND) does not assign exclusive geographical areas to Value Added Resellers as this would limit the VAR’s potential as it relates to the sale of software and services. ISA in now being actively engaged by Visual Network Design to deliver consulting services to its customers (solution installation, data load and training) and offers a “turnkey” service to their clients in which ISA provides the IT asset data collection, RACKWISE DMC software installation, data import (using the data collected previously) and client training in the use of the RACKWISE DMC software. ISA and VND management have identified the role that ISA will play in supporting Visual Network Design’s deployment of RACKWISE DCM.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our major activity is around the sale of asset management software and services related to the software. We have recently:
· Received a Copyright for OSPI® | |
· Received a Trademark for ON SITE PHYSICAL INVENTORYTM | |
· U.S. Patent Number 7,752,088 was issued for OSPI® method on July 6,2010 | |
We have hired Dom Lesme as our Chief Operating Officer. Initially, Dom’s primary responsibilities are to build an internal sales and marketing staff whereby ISA can directly market and sell its systems and services directly to potential customers. In addition, Dom has hired Bill Nelson as our Director of Product Strategy. Dom, along with Bill and the CEO, Joe Coschera, are developing the short and long term evolution of OSPI creating a Product Requirements Document (PRD) that will become ISA’s product roadmap.
Our business strategy is to expand our customer base, through superior
software functionality and the industry expertise of our employees. In particular, our strategy is comprised of the following key
components:
Expand Joint Venture with Visual Network Design, Inc. and Increase Our Customer Base
Working alongside Visual Network Design, Inc., we anticipate an increase in services revenue due largely to the fact that our core service competencies are in alignment with the needs of Visual Network Design, Inc.’s customer base. We have executed a Value Added Reseller Agreement by which ISA is identified on each services quotation submitted by Visual Network Design, Inc. to its prospective clients. ISA is the exclusive provider of data collection services for Visual Network Design’s customers. Visual Network Design Inc. utilizes ISA’s technical services to support their software solution (RACKWISE DCM) at their client locations which includes the installation, implementation and training of their clients in the proper use and maintenance of the RACKWISE DCM solution.
Strengthen our position as an enterprise asset management solution integrator and improve our visibility among target sectors. Information Systems Associates, Inc. has earned the reputation of a capable solution integrator. While we have expanded our customer base, Information Systems Associates, Inc. is committed to solidifying our position as an enterprise asset management company.
Maintain and Enhance Our Technology
Based on the relative pricing and functionality of our product and service offerings as compared with those of our competitors, we consider our service offerings to be competitive, however it is critical that we continue to maintain and enhance our approach to delivering technology solutions. It is our understanding that the current pricing for the services we provide is in some cases significantly less than that charged by the other solution vendors as it relates to our systems integration consulting services. Relative to data collection we believe that based on information received from prospects to which we have spoken that our data collection services are approximately 20% of the project implementation cost to the customer. In addition, because our solution is provided “ready to use” the time (cost) to implement the solution is also decreased which is a direct savings for the client.
Enter Into and Maximize Alliances
We have marketing and other relationships with Avocent Huntsville Corp., Visual Network Design, Inc., and Vision Facilities Management LTD. We believe that these and future relationships will help provide us with access to important industry participants and will help increase our brand awareness.
Seek Acquisitions and Strategic Investments
We plan to expand by seeking technologies, products, and services that complement our existing business. If appropriate opportunities are available, we may acquire businesses, technologies or products or enter into strategic relationships that may further diversify revenue sources and product offerings, expand our customer base or enhance our technology platform.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following is a summary of material risks and uncertainties which we face in our business.
Our Limited Operating History and Lack of Revenues Makes Evaluating Our Business and Prospects Difficult
While our competitors have operated software development companies for a significant period of time, we have only had limited operations and revenues since our inception in May of 1994. As a result, we have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate us and our prospects. In addition, we show losses of $808,773, $1,009,195, and $626,108 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
We Do Not Expect To Pay Dividends On Our Common Stock.
To date, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of future dividends and the amounts thereof will depend upon our earnings, financial requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
Now That Our Common Stock Has Become Tradable On The Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, Sales Of Our Common Stock By Our Principal Shareholder Could Affect The Level Of Public Interest In Our Common Stock As Well As Depress Its Price.
Now that our common stock has become tradable on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, prospective purchasers will be able to purchase our common stock in the open market. The Selling Security Holders will be able to sell the shares covered by this prospectus on the open market. In addition, because our principal stockholder, Joseph Coschera, owns approximately 29% of our common stock he may dispose of a substantial percentage of his stock after a six month holding period subject to the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In general, these limitations impose a maximum sale requirement equal to the greater of an amount during the preceding three months of 1% of our outstanding shares or an amount equal to the average weekly reported volume of trading in our common stock on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a Rule 144 notice. In addition, there are other requirements imposed by Rule 144, including manner of sale and other requirements. If substantial amounts of any of these shares are sold either on the open market or pursuant to Rule 144, there may be downward price pressures on our common stock price, causing the market price of our common stock to decrease in value. In addition, this selling activity could:
· Decrease the level of public interest in our common stock;
· Inhibit buying activity that might otherwise help support the market price of our common stock; and
· Prevent possible upward price movements in our common stock.
We May Be Unable To Obtain The Additional Funding Needed To Enable Us To Operate Profitably In The Future.
Other than the line of credit, we have no other credit facility or other committed sources of capital sufficient to fund our business plan. We may be unable to establish credit arrangements on satisfactory terms. If capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we may have to raise funds to continue development of our operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity and/or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution to our shareholders and/or increased debt service commitments. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to sufficiently develop our operations to become profitable.
Our Principal Stockholder Controls Our Board Of Directors And Thereby Controls Our Business Affairs In Which Case You Will Have Little Or No Participation In Our Business Affairs.
Currently, our President, CEO and Director, Mr. Joseph P. Coschera owns 29% of the outstanding shares of Information Systems Associates. Mr. Coschera controls the Board of Directors and therefore controls our business affairs. In addition, Joseph Coschera, by virtue of his 29% share ownership percentage, will have significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders without the approval of minority stockholders. In addition, he will be able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, which will allow him to significantly control our affairs and management. Accordingly, you will be limited in your ability to affect change in how we conduct our business.
(8) |
Our Common Stock Is A “Penny Stock”, And Compliance With Requirements For Dealing In Penny Stocks May Make It Difficult For Holders Of Our Common Stock To Resell Their Shares.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to:
· deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC; · provide the customer with current bid and offer quotation for the penny stock; · explain the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; · provide monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account; · make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s approval; and · provide a written agreement for the transaction.
These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our stock. Because our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, you may find it more difficult to sell your shares. Potential Fluctuations In Our Financial Results Make Financial Forecasting Difficult. · General economic conditions as well as economic conditions specific to our industry; · Our operating results have varied on a quarterly basis in the past and may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include: · long sales cycles, which characterize our industry · implementation delays, which can affect payment and recognition of revenue; · any decision by us to reduce prices for our solutions in response to price reductions by competitors · the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to monitoring or expanding our business, operations and infrastructure · the timing of, and our ability to integrate, any future acquisition, technologies or products or any strategic investments or relationships into which we may enter
Due to these factors, our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. In addition, it is likely that in one or more future quarters, our operating results will fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such event, the trading price of our common shares would almost certainly be materially adversely affected.
The Markets In Which We Operate Are Competitive.
The market for asset lifecycle management solutions is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. We face significant competition in each segment of our business (sourcing, procurement, enterprise asset management and asset disposition). We expect that competition will further intensify as new companies enter the different segments of our market and larger existing companies expand their product lines.
Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete with them effectively. If we fail to do so, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Significant Delays In Product Development Would Result In Loss Of Revenue.
If we experience significant product development delays, our revenues could be substantially reduced, which would adversely affect our operating results. As a result of the complexities inherent in our software, major new product enhancements and new products often require long development and test periods before they are released. On occasion, we have experienced delays in the scheduled release date of new or enhanced products, and we may experience delays in the future. Delays may occur for many reasons, including an inability to hire a sufficient number of developers, discovery of bugs and errors or a failure of our current or future products to conform to industry requirements. Any such delay, or the failure of new products or enhancements in achieving market acceptance, could materially impact our business and result in a decrease in our revenues.
We May Have To Expend Significant Resources To Keep Pace With Rapid Technological Change. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, changes in user and customer requirements, frequent new service or product introductions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices. Any of these could hamper our ability to compete or render our proprietary technology obsolete. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to: · develop new proprietary technology that addresses the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our existing and prospective customers · anticipate and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis · continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our products in response to evolving market demands · license leading technologies
We may be required to make substantial expenditures to accomplish the foregoing or to modify or adapt our services or infrastructure.
Our Business Could Be Substantially Harmed If We Have To Correct Or Delay The Release Of Products Due To Software Bugs Or Errors.
Our software products may contain undetected errors or bugs when first introduced or as new versions are released. Errors may result in any of the following:
· adverse customer reactions · negative publicity regarding our business and our products · harm to our reputation · loss of or delay in market acceptance · loss of revenue or required product changes · diversion of development resources and increased development expenses · increased service and warranty costs · legal action by our customers · increased insurance costs
If We Are Unable To Successfully Protect Our Intellectual Property Or Obtain Certain Licenses, Our Competitive Position May Be Weakened. Our performance and ability to compete are dependent in part on our technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality agreements and technical measures, to establish and protect our rights in the technology we develop. We cannot guarantee that any patents issued to us will afford meaningful protection for our technology. Competitors may develop similar technologies which do not conflict with our patents. Others may challenge our patents and, as a result, our patents could be narrowed or invalidated.
Our software is protected by registration The source code for our proprietary software is protected as a trade secret. As part of our confidentiality protection procedures, we generally enter into agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation and other proprietary information. We cannot assure you that the steps we take will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. In order to protect our intellectual property, it may be necessary for us to sue one or more third parties. While this has not been necessary to date, there is no guarantee that we will not be required to do so in future to protect our rights. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no protection for our intellectual property. We also rely on a variety of technology that we license from third parties, including our database and Internet software, which is used to perform key functions.
Others Could Claim That We Infringe On Their Intellectual Property Rights, Which May Result In Costly And Time-Consuming Litigation.
Our success will also depend partly on our ability to operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others, as well as our ability to prevent others from infringing on our proprietary rights. We may be required at times to take legal action in order to protect our proprietary rights. Also, from time to time, we may receive notice from third parties claiming that we infringe their patent or other proprietary rights.
We believe that infringement claims will increase in the technology sector as competition intensifies. Despite our best efforts, we may be sued for infringing on the patent or other proprietary rights of others. Such litigation is costly, and even if we prevail, the cost of such litigation could harm us. If we do not prevail or cannot fund a complete defense, in addition to any damages we might have to pay, we could be required to stop the infringing activity or obtain a license. We cannot be certain that any required license would be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to obtain a license, or if the terms of a license are burdensome to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Our Business Is Sensitive To The Overall Economic Environment. Any Slowdown In Information Technology Spending Budgets Could Harm Our Operating Results. Any significant downturn in our customers' markets or in general economic conditions that results in reduced information technology spending budgets would likely result in a decreased demand for our products and services, longer selling cycles and lower prices, any of which may harm our business. Although We Have Not Yet Issued Any Preference Shares, If Issued, Our Preference Shares Could Prevent Or Delay A Takeover That Some Or A Majority Of Shareholders Consider Favorable. Our Board of Directors, without any further vote of our shareholders, may issue preference shares and determine the price, preferences, rights and restrictions of those shares. The rights of the holders of common shares will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preference shares that may be issued in the future. That means, for example, that we can issue preference shares with more voting rights, higher dividend payments or more favorable rights upon distribution than those for our common shares. If we issue certain types of preference shares in the future, it may also be more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting shares and such issuance may, in certain circumstances, deter or delay mergers, tender offers or other possible transactions that may be favored by some or a majority of our shareholders. EMPLOYEES We have six employees none of which are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS We are not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and will not voluntarily deliver a copy of the annual report to security holders. If we should choose to create an annual report, it will contain audited financial statements. We intend to file all of our required information with the SEC. We plan to file our Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and all other forms that are or may become applicable with the SEC.
The public may read and copy any materials that are filed by us with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. The Public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The statements and forms filed by us with the SEC have been filed electronically and are available for viewing or copy on the SEC maintained Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, as well as other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The Internet address for this site can be found at http://www.sec.gov.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We do not own any real property nor do we have any contracts or options to acquire any real property in the future. Presently, we are renting an office located at Suite E, 1151 SW 30th Street, Palm City FL 34990. We occupy 1,208 square feet. This space is adequate for our present and our planned future operations. We pay approximately $1,278.00 per month in rent for use of this space.
We also own computer equipment and office furniture for our business. We own several computers, handhelds, storage drives, and network devices which we use to conduct business. These devices are used in the development of our software products and delivery of services to our clients. We also own standard office furniture including desks, chairs, and other personal property relating to our industry. All of this equipment is in good condition. The net book value of property and equipment is $19,684 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEEDINGS From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. On April 24, 2009, Phuture World, Inc. filed a complaint in the case captioned Phuture World, Inc. v. Information Systems Associates, Inc. and Joseph Coschera, Case No. 562009 CA 3086, 19th Judicial Circuit in and for St. Lucie County Florida. Phuture World originally alleged that the Company and its President breached the terms of a certain software development contract, and it sought damages in excess of $15,000. The plaintiff dropped all claims against the President and eliminated some of its other claims against the Company. The Company terminated the software contract at issue in the case prior to the filing of the case, and it no longer uses the services of Phuture World. The Company is contesting this lawsuit and believes that it has defenses to the claims made by Phuture World. The Company is vigorously defending itself and has filed and is pursuing damage claims of its own against Phuture World for Phuture World's failure to provide the software required under the contract between Phuture World and the Company. The Company believes that the outcome of this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. ITEM 4.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES MARKET INFORMATION
Our shares of common stock are quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. The Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board is a quotation medium for subscribing members only. Only market makers can apply to quote securities on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. We cannot guarantee that we will obtain a market maker or such a quotation. Although we will seek a market maker for our securities, our management has no agreements, understandings or other arrangements with market makers to begin making a market for our shares. There is no limited trading activity in our securities, and there can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our common stock will ever be developed, or if developed, will be sustained.

A shareholder in all likelihood, therefore, will not be able to resell their securities should he or she desire to do when eligible for public resale. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept our securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops. We have no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person with regard to the development of a trading market in any of our securities.
AGREEMENTS TO REGISTER
Not applicable.
STOCKHOLDERS
As of December 31, 2010 there were 51 stockholders of record of our common stock.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon effectiveness of the registration statement effective on January 24, 2008, only the 5,193,834 shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares held by our affiliates will be restricted by the resale limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any of our affiliates and any person or persons whose sales are aggregated who has beneficially owned his or her restricted shares for at least one year, may be entitled to sell in the open market within any three-month period a number of shares of common stock that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also affected by limitations on manner of sale, notice requirements, and availability of current public information about us. Non-affiliates, who have held their restricted shares for one year, may be entitled to sell their shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the above limitations, provided they have not been affiliates for the three months preceding such sale.
Further, Rule 144A as currently in effect, in general, permits unlimited resale of restricted securities of any issuer provided that the purchaser is an institution that owns and invests on a discretionary basis at least $100 million in securities or is a registered broker-dealer that owns and invests $10 million in securities. Rule 144A allows our existing stockholders to sell their shares of common stock to such institutions and registered broker-dealers without regard to any volume or other restrictions. Unlike under Rule 144, restricted securities sold under Rule 144A to non-affiliates do not lose their status as restricted securities.
The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.
DIVIDENDS
We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any future earnings for use in our business. Any decisions as to future payment of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other factors, as the Board of Directors deems relevant.
(9) |
DIVIDEND POLICY
All shares of common stock are entitled to participate proportionally in dividends if our Board of Directors declares dividends out of the funds legally available. These dividends may be paid in cash, property or additional shares of common stock. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
Our shares are "Penny Stocks" within the Meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Our Shares are "penny stocks" within the definition of that term as contained in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares will then be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the Registered Representative and current bid and offer quotations for the securities. In addition a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account’s value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks. As a result of these regulations, the ability of broker-dealers to sell our stock may affect the ability of Selling Security Holders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of Information Systems Associate's securities. In addition, the liquidity for Information Systems Associate's securities may be adversely affected, with concomitant adverse effects on the price of Information Systems Associate's securities. Our shares are subject to such penny stock rules.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this report, including statements of our expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs, including those contained in or implied by "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are "forward -looking statements", within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are subject to certain events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control.

Year ended December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009
Revenues were $1,070,704 and $780,244 for the years ended December 31 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in the current period was due primarily to the increased sale of professional services, maintenance contracts and time and materials arrangements. We recognize professional services revenue, which includes installation, training, consulting and engineering services, upon delivery of the services. If the professional service project includes independent milestones, revenue is recognized as milestones are met and upon acceptance from the customer. As part of our ongoing operations to provide services to our customers, incidental expenses, if reimbursable under the terms of the contracts, are billed to customers. These expenses are recorded as both revenues and direct cost of services.
Gross profit was $1,039,307 and $742,677 for the years ended December 31 2010 and 2009, respectively, while gross margin percentage for the same period was 97.07% and 95.19%. The primary cost for 2010 was maintenance and support while the primary cost for 2009 was software.
Operating expenses for the years December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $1,790,546 and $1,751,433, respectively. Increases in Amortization and Travel and Entertainment were partially offset by a decrease in Professional Fees. Although two new positions were added to payroll in 2009, only one position was maintained throughout 2010.
We had a net loss of $808,773 and $1,009,195 from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. ISA entered into several consulting agreements that have had an immediate impact on activity for the year by increasing operating expenses. Likewise, the Company has taken a write off for the production of software. Overall, the Company has kept operating expenses constant, thereby allowing all increases in revenue to decrease the net loss.

December 31 2010 compared to December 31, 2009
Available cash was $70,326 and $21,047 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the Company having issued stock.
Total current assets were $280,028 and $254,045 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively. The Company used an increase in cash and accounts receivable to offset a decrease in prepaid expenses.
Property and equipment, net were $19,684 and $174,288 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively. The decrease is due primarily to the amortization of software development costs for version 2 of OSPI® .
Current liabilities were $113,510 and $113,316 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Increases in borrowing on the line of credit were offset by decreases in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. We believe that we can offset inflationary increases in the cost of revenue by increasing revenue and improving operating efficiencies.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows used in operations were $135,030 and $183,645 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash flows used in operations in 2010 were primarily attributable to a net loss of $808,773 and an increase in accounts receivable of $60,709, which were partially offset by non-cash expenses for depreciation, common stock issued for services and loss on the sale of an investment of $156,309, $527,313 and $47,347, respectively.. Cash flows used in operations in 2009 were primarily attributable to a net loss of $1,009,195. This was partially offset by common stock issued for services of $671,438, a decrease in accounts receivable of $59,312 and an increase in accounts payable of 82,626.
Cash flows provided/ (used) in investing activities were $8,295 and ($173,407) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash flows provided by investing activities in 2010 were attributable to a payment received from the sale of an investment, less purchases of property and equipment. Cash flows used in investing activities in 2009 were from the cost of developing software for resale.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $176,014 and $173,331 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash flows provided by financing activities in 2010 were funded from the additional sale of stock and additional borrowing on the line of credit. Cash flows provided by financing activities for 2009 were attributable to the sale of stock and additional borrowing.
Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through December 31, 2010 and 2009 with a series of debt and equity transactions.
We had cash on hand of $70,326 and a working capital of $166,518 as of December 31, 2010. If the projected revenues fall short of needed capital we may not be able to sustain our capital needs. We will then need to obtain additional capital through equity or debt financing to sustain operations for an additional year. Our current level of operations would require capital of approximately $600,000 to sustain operations through year 2011. Modifications to our business plans may require additional capital for us to operate. For example, if we want to offer a greater number of products or increase our marketing efforts, we may need additional capital. Failure to raise capital may result in lower revenues and market share for us. In addition, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us when needed or available on terms favorable to us.
Mr. Coschera is a personal guarantor on a line of credit to provide additional working capital to the Company. At year end December 31, 2010 there was borrowing against the line of credit in the amount of $36,141. No other person or entity is liable for, surety or otherwise provides a guarantee for our debt financing from outside resources. Demand for the products and services will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our services, the computer software market in general, and general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. In as much as a major portion of our activities is the receipt of revenues from services rendered, our business operations may be adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recession periods.
Our success will be dependent upon implementing our plan of operations and the risks associated with our business plan.
No significant amount of our trade payables has been unpaid within the stated trade term. We are not subject to any unsatisfied judgments, liens or settlement obligations.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no-off balance sheet contractual arrangements, as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments. We believe that the determination of the carrying value of our long-lived assets, the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets and valuation of share-based payment compensation are the most critical areas where management’s judgments and estimates most affect our reported results. While we believe our estimates are reasonable, misinterpretation of the conditions that affect the valuation of these assets could result in actual results varying from reported results, which are based on our estimates, assumptions and judgments as of the balance sheet date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Security Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-25, “Revenue Recognition Multiple-element Arrangements”
Consulting services and training revenues are accounted for separately from subscription and support revenues when these services have value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of each deliverable. When accounted for separately, revenues are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed price contracts. The majority of our consulting service contracts are on a time and material basis. Training revenues are recognized after the services are performed. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, we allocate the total customer arrangement to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the price of the undelivered items when sold separately.
In determining whether the consulting services can be accounted for separately from subscription and support revenues, we consider the following factors for each consulting agreement: availability of the consulting services from other vendors, whether objective and reliable evidence for fair value exists for the undelivered elements, the nature of the consulting services, the timing of when the consulting contract was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date, and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer’s satisfaction with the consulting work. If a consulting arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the consulting revenue ratably over the remaining term of the subscription contract. Additionally, in these situations, we defer the direct costs of the consulting arrangement and amortize these costs over the same time period as the consulting revenue is recognized. We did not have any revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables for the periods ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the property and equipment (three to ten years). When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the statement of operations.
We recognize an impairment loss on property and equipment when evidence, such as the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), indicates that future operations will not produce sufficient revenue to cover the related future costs, including depreciation, and when the carrying amount of the asset cannot be realized through sale. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the assets.
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop computer software for internal use in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40 “Internal-Use Software”. As required by ASC 350-40, the Company capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized over a period of one to three years. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.
On December 31, 2009, the Company released Version 2 of the OSPI software for sale in the marketplace. The Company accounts for internally produced software with FASB ASC 985-20 “Cost of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Costs were capitalized when the second version was established as technically feasible and will be written off on a straight line method over the estimated useful life.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU 2010-09 e addresses both the interaction of the requirements of this pronouncement with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events. An entity that either is (a) an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local or regional markets) is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. If an entity meets neither of those criteria, then it should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. The adoption of this provision will not impact the Company’s financial statements.
ASU 2010-06 was issued to improve disclosure requirements related to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall Subtopic (ASC 820-10 originally issued as FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. Under this update, a reporting entity should disclose separately the amount of significant transfer in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchase, sales, issuances and settlements. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 will not impact the Company’s financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS – NOT YET ADOPTED
In April, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13 to address the classification of an employee share-based payment with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment award that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company believes there will no impact to their financial statements due to the implementation of ASU 2010-13.
Under ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350) testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The objective of this Update is to address questions about entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.
For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate any material impact on the Company’s financial statements due to this update
ASU 2011-01, “Receivables”, temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. Under the existing effective date in ASU 2010-20, public-entity creditors would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update temporarily defer that effective date, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the Board clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The deferral in this Update will result in more consistent disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in ASU 2010-20. The Company does not believe ASU 2011-01 will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
We are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates. The interest payable under our credit facility, under which we had $36,141 at December 31, 2010, is based on a specified bank’s prime interest rate and, therefore, is affected by changes in market interest rates. Historically, the effects of movements in the market interest rates have been immaterial to our operating results, as we have not borrowed to any significant degree.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Information Systems Associates, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Information Systems Associates, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Information Systems Associates Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Information Systems Associates, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 18, the Company has incurred significant losses. The Company’s viability is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing and the success of its future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activity
Information Systems Associates, Inc. (Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida on May 31, 1994. The Company provides services and software system design for the planning and implementation of Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) based asset management tools.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company grants credit to its customers during the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers.
At times throughout the year the Company may maintain certain bank accounts in excess of the FDIC insured limits. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, amounts on deposit at institutions did not exceed FDIC insured limits.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Security Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-25, “Revenue Recognition Multiple-element Arrangements”
Consulting services and training revenues are accounted for separately from subscription and support revenues when these services have value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of each deliverable. When accounted for separately, revenues are recognized as the services are rendered for time and material contracts, and when the milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed price contracts. The majority of the Company’s consulting service contracts are on a time and material basis. Training revenues are recognized after the services are performed. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, we allocate the total customer arrangement to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the price of the undelivered items when sold separately.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Revenue Recognition (cont’d)
In determining whether the consulting services can be accounted for separately from subscription and support revenues, we consider the following factors for each consulting agreement: availability of the consulting services from other vendors, whether objective and reliable evidence for fair value exists for the undelivered elements, the nature of the consulting services, the timing of when the consulting contract was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date, and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer's satisfaction with the consulting work. If a consulting arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the consulting revenue ratably over the remaining term of the subscription contract. Additionally, in these situations we defer the direct costs of the consulting arrangement and amortize those costs over the same time period as the consulting revenue is recognized. We did not have any revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables for the periods ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted FASB ASC Codification 220 “Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements.
Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of (1) net income (loss) plus (2) all other changes in the net assets arising from non-owner sources, which are referred to as comprehensive income. The Company has presented statements of income which includes other comprehensive income or loss.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payables and loans payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its fair value based on the current market conditions for similar debt instruments.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS ASSOCIATES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining the collections on the account, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the property and equipment (three to ten years). When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the statement of operations.
The Company recognizes an impairment loss on property and equipment when evidence, such as the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), indicates that future operations will not produce sufficient revenue to cover the related future costs, including depreciation, and when the carrying amount of the asset cannot be realized through sale. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluated the recoverability of its property, equipment, and other assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceed the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which such intangible assets relate.
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop computer software for internal use in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40 “Internal-Use Software”. As required by ASC 350-40, the Company capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized over a period of one to three years. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.

Software Development Costs
On December 31, 2009, the Company released Version 2 of the “On Site Physical Inventory” software (OSPI) for sale in the marketplace. The Company accounts for internally produced software with FASB ASC 985-20 “Cost of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Costs were capitalized when the second version was established as technically feasible and will be written off on a straight line method over the estimated useful life.
Share-Based Payments
The Company accounts for payments of goods and services with stock with FASB ASC 719 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services.
This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes Model, received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Shares of common stock issued for services rendered by a third party are recorded at the fair market value of the shares issued or services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 advertising expenses totaled $641 and $983, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 260 “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the loss per share computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock equivalents such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the periods presented. There were no adjustments required to net income for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no common stock equivalents (CSE) necessary for the computation of diluted loss per share.
Recent Accounting Literature
Compensation—Stock Compensation
(Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-13)
In April, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13 to address the classification of an employee share-based payment with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment award that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company believes there will no impact to their financial statements due to the implementation of ASU 2010-13.
Subsequent Events
(ASU 2010-09)
This Update addresses both the interaction of the requirements of this pronouncement with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events.
An entity that either is (a) an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local or regional markets) is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. If an entity meets neither of those criteria, then it should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. The adoption of this provision will not impact the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(ASU2010-06)
ASU 2010-06 was issued to improve disclosure requirements related to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall Subtopic (ASC 820-10 originally issued as FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.
Under this update, a reporting entity should disclose separately the amount of significant transfer in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. For Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchase, sales, issuances and settlements. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 will not impact the Company’s financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements presented to conform to 2010. Such reclassifications had no effect on reported income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $808,773. The total accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2010 was $2,617,277. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and raise capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 8 – NET (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and the dilutive EPS adds the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock equivalents. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of stock were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

These are fees for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements, and for the review of the financial statements included in our filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. |
(2) | The amounts shown for Lake in 2010, 2009 and 2008 relate to (i) the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and (ii) the review of the financial statements included in our filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.. | |

Pre-Approval Policy For Audit and Non-Audit Services
We do not have a standing audit committee, however in April 2010 we appointed Adrian Goldfarb, a new director, as Chairman of the audit committee and the full Board supports him and functions as an audit committee, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services before we engage an accountant. All of the services rendered by Lake & Associates CPA’s LLC were pre-approved by our Board of Directors.
We are presently working with our legal counsel to establish formal pre-approval policies and procedures for future engagements of our accountants. The new policies and procedures will be detailed as to the particular service, will require that the Board or an audit committee thereof be informed of each service, and will prohibit the delegation of pre-approval responsibilities to management. It is currently anticipated that our new policy will provide (i) for an annual pre-approval, by the Board or audit committee, of all audit, audit-related and non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor for the fiscal year, as specifically described in the auditor's engagement letter, and (ii) that additional engagements of the auditor, which were not approved in the annual pre-approval process, and engagements that are anticipated to exceed previously approved thresholds, will be presented on a case-by-case basis, by the President or Controller, for pre-approval by the Board or audit committee, before management engages the auditors for any such purposes. The new policy and procedures may authorize the Board or audit committee to delegate, to one or more of its members, the authority to pre-approve certain permitted services, provided that the estimated fee for any such service does not exceed a specified dollar amount (to be determined). All pre-approvals shall be contingent on a finding, by the Board, audit committee, or delegate, as the case may be, that the provision of the proposed services is compatible with the maintenance of the auditor's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. In no event shall any non-audit related service be approved that would result in the independent auditor no longer being considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(a) On December 31, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer made an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In our opinion, the disclosure controls and procedures are adequate because the systems of controls and procedures are designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods being presented. Moreover, the evaluation did not reveal any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures.
(b) There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls since the last evaluation.
