Statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “should,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “continue,” or similar terms or variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this Form 10-Q and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Bridgeline Digital, Inc. Forward-looking statements are merely our current predictions of future events. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, are not guaranties of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from our predictions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from our predictions include the impact of the global financial deterioration on our business, our inability to manage our future growth effectively or profitably, our license renewal rate, the impact of competition and our ability to maintain margins or market share, the performance of our products, our ability to protect our proprietary technology, the security of our software, our ability to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our dependence on our management team and key personnel, or our ability to hire and retain future key personnel. Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized, nor is there any assurance that we have identified all possible issues which we might face. We assume no obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect new information or developments. We urge readers to review carefully the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as well as in the other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Total amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Six Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009			2010		2009

Cost of revenue	$	23	$	22		$	45	$	45
Operating expense		119		168			238		189
Total	$	142	$	190		$	283	$	234

Goodwill

Changes in the balance of goodwill for the six months ended March 31, 2009 are as follows:

	For the
	Six Months
	Ended March 31, 2010

Goodwill balance at beginning of period	$	13,899
Contingent acquisition payments (earnouts)	757
Goodwill balance at end of period	$	14,656

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of every year and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company did not record a goodwill impairment charge.

The Company accounts for contingent consideration (“earnouts”) related to acquisitions completed before September 30, 2009 as an increase to goodwill at the time such earnouts are earned. During the six month period ended March 31, 2010, goodwill increased by $757 thousand related to earnouts. The Company is obligated to continue paying quarterly earnouts to former owners of acquired companies in the amount of $2.3 million based on the achievement of certain predefined operating metrics. If such payments are earned they will be recorded as an increase to goodwill. To the extent goodwill continues to increase as a result of such payments and to the extent there are unfavorable changes in assumptions used to determine the Company’s fair value (including a decline in the Company’s market capitalization) there can be no assurance that the Company will not have another impairment charge in the future.

5. Indebtedness

Credit Facility Borrowings

On March 31, 2010, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for up to $5 million of revolving credit advances, of which $3 million may be used for acquisitions and up to $5 million may be used for working capital purposes. The Loan Agreement has a two year term which expires on March 31, 2012. Borrowings are limited to the lesser of (i) $5 million or (ii) 80% of eligible receivables as defined. In the event that the borrowing base formula results in less than $5 million in available borrowings, the Company can borrow up to $2 million in out of formula borrowings (provided such amount does not exceed $5 million) for specified periods of time. Borrowings bear interest at prime plus 1.00% or 1.25%, depending on the level of the adjusted EBITDA, as defined. The Company pays an annual commitment fee of .50% and an unused fee of .25%. The Company is also required to comply with certain financial and other covenants. Borrowings are secured by all of the Company’s assets and all of the Company’s intellectual property. The Loan Agreement replaced the Company’s prior credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank which expired on March 31, 2010.

At March 31, 2010, the Company had a balance outstanding under the credit line of $1.7 million which was repaid in April 2010.

7. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income, as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders.

Comprehensive income was as follows:

	For the Six Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009
Net income	$	240	$	383
Net change in foreign currency translation adjustment, net of tax of $-0-		(13)		(27)
Balance at end of period	$	227	$	356

8. Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the “treasury stock” method. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not include the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants that are anti-dilutive. The Company has excluded 288,750 and 2,026,455 of equity instruments from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively with exercise prices less than market values because these securities were anti-dilutive. The Company has excluded 358,750 and 2,026,455 of equity investments from the calculation on diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively with exercise prices less than market values because these securities were anti-dilutive.

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to March 31, 2009.

Revenue

Our revenue is derived from three sources: (i) Web application development services (ii) managed service hosting and (iii) subscription and perpetual licenses. Total revenue decreased $712 thousand or 12% to $5.387 million from $6.099 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of the prior year.

Web Application Development Services

Revenue from web application development services decreased $601 thousand, or 12% to $4.525 million from $5.126 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. The decrease is attributable to the Company focusing its marketing and new business development towards more iAPPS® related opportunities. In addition the decrease is attributable to general economic conditions which have resulted in a reduced level of spending from certain customers that generated revenue in the prior period.

Application development services revenue as a percentage of total revenue remained constant at 84% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of 2009.

Managed Service Hosting

Revenue from managed service hosting decreased $150 thousand, or 23% to $506 thousand from $656 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009. The decrease is attributable to our focused marketing and new business development efforts in selling more iAPPS® related engagements. Additionally, there has been some customer attrition as a result of our efforts to engage with larger organizations as opposed to some of our smaller customers obtained through previous acquisitions.

Managed services revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 9% from 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of 2009 as a result of the decrease in revenue.

Subscription and Perpetual Licenses

Revenue from subscription and perpetual licenses increased $39 thousand, or 12% to $356 thousand from $317 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of the prior year. Subscription and perpetual license revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased to 7% from 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue decreased $83 thousand, or 3% to $2.599 million from $2.682 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of the prior year.

Cost of web application development services decreased $91 thousand, or 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The cost of application development services as a percentage of application development services revenue increased to 50% from 46%, for the same three month comparative periods. This decrease in margin results from a combination of lower web application development services revenue and higher direct labor costs to deliver such revenue.

Cost of managed service hosting decreased $12 thousand or 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. The cost of managed services as a percentage of managed services revenue increased to 31% from 26% for the same three month comparative periods. The decrease in the amount of managed service hosting costs is due to efforts initiated during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 to consolidate our network operation centers and reduce costs associated with having multiple hosting facilities. Since a portion of this cost is fixed cost related to our hosting environment, such costs will not decrease at the same rate as the related revenue.

Cost of subscription and perpetual licenses increased $20 thousand, or 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The cost of subscription and perpetual licenses as a percentage of subscription and perpetual license revenue increased to 47% from 46% for the same comparative three month periods. The increase in the

- 14 -

amount of subscription and perpetual license costs is primarily related to additional software development costs capitalized in prior periods which is now being amortized. Additionally, since a portion of this cost is fixed cost related to our hosting environment, such costs will not always increase or decrease at the same rate as the related revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $629 thousand, or by 18%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of 2009. Gross profit margin decreased to 51.8% from 56.0% for the same comparative three month periods. The decrease in gross profit margin is attributable to a combination of lower revenue and lower utilization.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $458 thousand, or 28% to $1.170 million from $1.628 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses represented 22% of total revenue compared with 27% for the same comparative three month periods. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation costs related to lower revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 when compared with the same period of the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $5 thousand, or 0% to $1.032 million from $1.027 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of the prior year. General and administrative expense represented 19% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with 17% of revenue for the same comparative three month periods. The increase in the amount of general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue is related to the lower amount of comparable revenue.

Research and Development

Research and development expense decreased by $34 thousand, or 12% to $250 thousand from $284 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of the prior year, after capitalization of software development cost. Capitalized software development costs were $95 thousand and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Had such cost not been capitalized, research and development expense would have been $345 thousand and $284 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in cost relates to additional personnel and related costs to continue development of our iAPPS® suite of software products.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increase by $79 thousand, or 35% to $306 thousand from $227 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of the prior year. Depreciation and amortization increased to 5% of revenue from 4% of revenue for the same comparable periods. This increase in the amount of depreciation and amortization was attributable to final purchase price allocation adjustments recorded in March 2009 related to the Indigo Group, Inc. acquisition competed in July of 2008.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $15 thousand and $20 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Income tax expense represents the estimated liability for Federal and state income taxes owed by the Company, including the alternative minimum tax. Net operating loss carry forwards are estimated to be sufficient to offset additional taxable income for all periods presented.

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased to $30 thousand from $251 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with the same period of the prior year. The decrease in income from operations is principally the result of a lower revenue in the current period as compared with the same period of the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA

We also measure our performance based on a non-GAAP measurement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and before stock compensation expense and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The following table reconciles net income (which is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure) to EBITDA, and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA:

	Three Months Ended March 31,					Six Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2010			2009		2010		2009

Net income	$	20		$	218	$	240	$	383
Taxes		15			20		31		20
Interest (income) expense, net		(5	)		13		1		35
Amortization of intangible assets		142			44		283		234
Depreciation		187			205		371		402
EBITDA	$	359		$	500	$	926	$	1,074
Other amortization		66			54		117		108
Stock based compensation		103			145		173		282
Adjusted EBITDA	$	528		$	699	$	1,216	$	1,464

Adjusted EBITDA was $528 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with $699 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $171 thousand, or 24%. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA results primarily from a lower amount of net income for the current period as compared with the prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.216 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 compared with $1.464 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $248 thousand, or 17%. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA results primarily from a lower amount of net income for the current period as compared with the prior period.

We believe this non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations.

Adjusted EBITDA, however, is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP profitability measures such as (i) income from operations and net income, or (ii) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, both as determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure has material limitations since it excludes the financial statement impact of income taxes, net interest expense, amortization of intangibles, depreciation, other amortization and stock based compensation, and therefore does not represent an accurate measure of profitability. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in conjunction with net income for a complete analysis of our profitability, as net income includes the financial statement impact of these items and is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may also differ from and therefore may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of the limitations that Adjusted EBITDA has as an analytical tool, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Cash provided from operating activities was $961 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1.851 million for the same period of the prior year. This decrease in cash from operating activities is primarily attributable to lower net income in the March 31, 2010 period as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year and a larger amount of collections for accounts receivable and unbilled receivables in the March 31, 2009 period as compared with the March 31, 2010 period. Cash from operating activities is anticipated to be sufficient to offset increases in working capital needs in the foreseeable future.

- 18 -

Cash used in investing activities was $1.332 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with $963 thousand for the same period of the prior year. These amounts include capitalized software development cost of $338 in the March 31, 2010 period as compared with $-0- in the same period of the prior year and contingent acquisition payments of $878 thousand for the six month period ended March 31, 2010 compared with $587 thousand for the same period of the prior year. Expenditures for equipment and improvements were $116 thousand for the March 31, 2010 period compared with $376 in the same period of the prior year.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $613 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2010 compared with $(69) thousand for the same period of the prior year. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was attributable to borrowings under the bank line of credit of $3.0 million in excess of amounts repaid of $1.3 million. At March 31, 2010, $1.7 million was outstanding under the bank credit line, which was repaid in April 2010.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we generated net income. Prior to this period we incurred annual losses since inception in 2000 and used significant amounts of cash to fund operations. As a result, at March 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $15.4 million.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Outlook

The Company believes that cash generated from operations and proceeds from the bank line of credit will be sufficient to fund the company’s working capital and capital expenditure needs in the foreseeable future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons other than our operating leases and contingent acquisition payments.

We currently do not have any variable interest entities. We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Contractual Obligations

We lease our facilities in the United States and India. Other contractual obligations include (i) certain equipment acquired under capitalized lease agreements totaling $97 thousand that have begun to expire and (ii) contingent acquisition payments. We have no contractual obligations extending beyond five years and there were no material leases entered into during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. As discussed in Note 10 to the March 31, 2010 financial statements, on May 11, 2010 in connection with the acquisition of TMX Interactive, Inc., we issued (i) a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $500,000 payable over three years beginning January 2011 with interest at 1% per annum and (ii) entered into an earnout in the amount of $500,000 payable quarterly beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Payment of the earnout is contingent on the achievement of certain defined operating metrics.

Critical Accounting Policies

These critical accounting policies and estimates by our management should be read in conjunction with Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements that were prepared in accordance with

- 19 -

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 29, 2009. The Company believes that at December 31, 2009, there has been no material change to this information.

Effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “Codification”) became single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). The Company adopted the Codification during the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance US GAAP requires us 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 revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. The most significant estimates included in our financial statements are the valuation of accounts receivable and long-term assets, including intangibles, goodwill and deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, amounts of revenue to be recognized on service contracts in progress, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenue. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.

We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment:

●	Revenue recognition;
●	Allowance for doubtful accounts;
●	Accounting for cost of computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed;

●	Accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets; and
●	Accounting for stock-based compensation.

Accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets

At September 30, 2009 (the date of the most recent test), the fair value exceeded the carrying value by 1%. This margin was based on a weighting applied to four different valuation methods which result in fair values ranging from $18.4 million to $36.5 million before the weightings were applied. We did not expect a significant cushion to result from the current year valuation due to the impairment write down taken in the prior fiscal year. Had the four methodologies been weighted differently, the percentage by which the fair value exceeded the carrying value may have been larger.

The factors the Company considers important that could indicate impairment include its stock price, significant under performance relative to prior operating results, change in projections, significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends.

In evaluating goodwill impairment, the Company considers a number of factors including discounted cash flow projections, guideline public company comparisons, acquisition transactions of comparable third party companies and capitalization value. Evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires management to make significant estimates and judgment at many points during the analysis, especially with regard to the Company’s future cash flows.

Management places significant weighting (90%) on its evaluation on the fair value derived using the Direct Market Data Method - Market Approach – Publicly Traded Companies or market capitalization value. Management believes this Level 1 input to valuation should be afforded the highest consideration as it is based upon quoted prices of the Company’s common stock in the active market. The key assumption included in Direct Data Method - Market Approach – Publicly Traded Companies valuation was a control premium of 36.5%. This control premium was the median premium offered for 294 M&A transactions included in a study of majority ownership premiums for 2008, the most current year reported. The average control premium in this study was 56.5%.

- 20 -

While there are inherent limitations in any valuation, we believe that placing a significant weighting of 90% on the Direct Market Data Method reduced the uncertainty associated with other methods, which are more assumption based. We believe the most significant change in circumstances that could affect the key assumptions in our valuation is a significant reduction in our stock price.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company accrued $287 thousand of contingent acquisition payments in connection with previously completed acquisitions. The Company is obligated to continue paying quarterly contingent acquisition payments to former owners of acquired companies in the amount of $2.3 million, based on the achievement of certain predefined operating metrics. If such payments are earned they will be recorded as an increase to goodwill. To the extent goodwill continues to increase as a result of such payments and to the extent there are unfavorable changes in assumptions used to determine the Company’s fair value (including a decline in the Company’s market capitalization), there can be no assurance that the Company will not have another impairment charge in the future.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of March 31, 2010 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission within the required time period.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5.

Other Information.

On May 11, 2010, Bridgeline entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with TMX Interactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TMX”) and completed the acquisition of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of TMX.

The Purchase Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Bridgeline acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of TMX. The assets acquired by Bridgeline include substantially all the assets of TMX with the exception of certain intellectual property of TMX identified in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price consisted of (i) cash of $100,000, (ii) the assumption of approximately $600,000 of deferred revenue, (iii) the issuance of a note in the amount of $500,000 payable over three years beginning January 2011 with interest at a rate of 1% per annum, and (iv) contingent consideration of up to $500,000, payable in cash quarterly over the 12 consecutive calendar quarters beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2010, contingent upon the achievement of certain defined operating metrics. The note is unsecured and subordinated to Silicon Valley Bank.

The parties to the Purchase Agreement made customary representations, warranties and covenants therein, and the completion of the acquisition was subject to customary conditions described therein. In addition, the Purchase Agreement prohibits TMX from competing with Bridgeline for a period of three years ending on the third anniversary of the closing of the acquisition.

In connection with the acquisition, Bridgeline has employed three former executives of TMX. Specifically, Debra Brown has joined Bridgeline Digital as Sr. Vice President of Business Development for the Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York regions, Eric Smith has joined Bridgeline as a Vice President of Business Development, and David McMillan has joined Bridgeline as a Vice President of Delivery. Bridgeline has entered into an employment agreement with each of Ms. Brown, Mr. Smith and Mr. McMillan containing terms consistent with employment agreements in place with other executives of Bridgeline. Such employment agreements include an agreement not to compete with Bridgeline for a period of up to 12 months after ceasing to be an employee of Bridgeline.

In connection with the acquisition, Bridgeline entered into a four year lease of the former offices of TMX located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Annual rent for the first year under the lease is approximately $104,000.

The foregoing description of the acquisition, the Purchase Agreement, the note and the lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of each such agreement, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Report on Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.

Investors should not rely on or assume the accuracy of representations and warranties in negotiated agreements that have been publicly filed because such representations and warranties may be subject to exceptions and qualifications contained in separate disclosure schedules, because such representations may represent the parties’ risk allocation in the particular transaction, because such representations may be qualified by materiality standards that differ from what may be viewed as material for securities law purposes or because such representations may no longer continue to be true as of any given date.
