PART I

In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, and our beliefs and assumptions. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” and variations of these words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. Forward-looking statements that were believed to be true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

Overview

SWK Holdings Corporation (“the Company,” “SWK,” “we,” “us,” and “our”), since the completion of the Asset Sale (see Basis of Presentation below), has been seeking to redeploy its cash to maximize value for its stockholders and is seeking, analyzing and evaluating potential acquisition or investment candidates. Our goal is to redeploy our existing assets to acquire, or invest in, one or more businesses which could create value for our shareholders, and where existing or prospective taxable income (or the ability to generate capital gains) might be offset by use of our net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. The Company is using a value-focused strategy and is focusing its search on U.S.-based businesses and continues to identify and review candidates for acquisition or other investment. The Company is unable to assure that it will find suitable candidates or that it will be able to utilize its existing NOL carryforwards. (See “Risks Related to Our Acquisition Strategy” under Item 1A below).

The Company has viewed its ability to carry forward its net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") as an important and substantial asset. On January 26, 2006, in order to preserve stockholder value by protecting our ability to carry forward our NOLs, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement that provided for a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of our common stock. The purchase rights become exercisable after the acquisition or attempted acquisition of 4.9% or more of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our Board of Directors (the “Board”). On January 13, 2009, the Company amended and restated the Rights Agreement to extend the expiration date from February 3, 2009 to February 3, 2012 and to make certain other changes. The Company again amended the Rights Agreement on December 22, 2009 to exclude the Asset Sale (as defined below) from triggering the Rights Agreement and to make certain other changes. On February 2, 2012, the Company amended and restated the Rights Agreement to extend the expiration date from February 3, 2012 to February 3, 2015. The Board adopted the Rights Agreement to preserve stockholder value by protecting our ability to carry forward our net operating losses (“NOLs”). The Board believes that these NOL carryforwards are a substantial asset of the Company.

Our principal executive offices are located at 5314 N. River Run Drive, Suite 350, Provo, Utah 84604. Our Internet website is http://www.swkhold.com.

The Company was incorporated in July 1996 in California and reincorporated in Delaware in September 1999. Prior to December 23, 2009, the Company developed, marketed and supported customer communications software products. The Company sold its products primarily in North America, Europe and Asia, through its direct sales force and third party integrators.

SWK was known until December 23, 2009 as KANA Software, Inc. (“KANA”) and was headquartered in Menlo Park, California.

Basis of Presentation

Following an extensive strategic process, on October 26, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Kay Technology Corp., Inc. ( “ Kay Technology ” ), an affiliate of Accel-KKR Capital Partners III, L.P. (“AKKR,” and together, the “ Asset Sale ” ). The consideration in the transaction was $40.6 million, of which $38.6 million in cash was paid to the Company at closing and $1.0 million was paid to an escrow to satisfy SWK’s indemnification obligations for certain specified tax-related contingencies. We received approximately $481,000, net of expenses, from this escrow in the fourth quarter of 2010. In the second quarter of 2011, we received $169,000, net of expenses, as full payment from the remaining tax escrow funds. An additional $1.0 million was paid into the Purchase Price Escrow at closing, which we received in the second quarter of 2010, and an additional $382,000 was received in the first quarter of 2010 which related to the receipt of certain customer and vendor consents to the Asset Sale. No other funds are collectable from the Asset Sale.

At the closing of the Asset Sale, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name from Kana Software, Inc. to SWK Holdings Corporation.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no material operating business and our only material balance sheet asset was our cash.

Competition

We encounter competition from other entities also seeking to acquire profitable businesses and investments. Such entities include private equity companies, venture capital funds, blank check companies, leveraged buyout funds, as well as operating businesses seeking acquisitions. Many of these entities are well-established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these entities possess greater financial, technical, human, and other resources than the Company.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011, we had three full-time employees.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

Our business environment involves substantial risks and uncertainty, including, but not limited to, the specific risks identified below. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may become important factors that impair our business operations. Any of these risks could cause or contribute to causing our actual results to differ materially from expectations. Prospective and existing investors are strongly urged to carefully consider the various cautionary statements and risks set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The section headings in this Item 1A have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not modify or constitute a part of the individual Risk Factors.

Risks Related to Our Acquisition Strategy

We are pursuing an acquisition strategy which may not enhance value for stockholders.

Since the completion of the Asset Sale, we have been seeking to redeploy our cash to maximize value for our stockholders and are seeking, analyzing and evaluating potential acquisition candidates. Our goal is to redeploy our existing assets to acquire, or invest in, one or more operating businesses with solid fundamentals and cash flow which could create value for our shareholders, and where existing or prospective taxable income (or the ability to generate capital gains) might be offset by use of our net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. We are using a value-focused investment strategy and have been focusing our acquisition search on U.S.-based businesses. We continue to identify and review candidates for acquisition or other investment. We may not be able to identify any acquisition candidate at a price we consider fair and appropriate. If we do identify a suitable acquisition candidate, we may not be able to successfully and satisfactorily negotiate the terms of an acquisition. Furthermore, if we are successful in completing an acquisition, the integration of the acquired business will involve a number of risks and presents financial, managerial and operational challenges. Therefore, we cannot assure that our acquisition strategy will enhance value to stockholders.

A significant portion of our working capital could be expended in pursuing business combinations that are not consummated.

We expect that the investigation of each specific acquisition target and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial time and attention and substantial costs, including, but not limited to, costs for accountants, attorneys and other advisors. In 2011, our total cash flow from operations spent pursuant to this strategy totaled approximately $1.2 million. Our declining cash may continue at this rate, or at a higher rate as we determine is appropriate, until such time as we are able to complete an acquisition.

In addition, we may determine to pay finders’, exclusivity or similar fees in connection with structuring and negotiating business combinations. If we decide not to further pursue a specific business combination, the costs incurred, which may include finders’, exclusivity or similar fees, may not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached relating to a specific acquisition target, we may fail to consummate the transaction for any number of reasons, including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred, which could materially and adversely affect our subsequent attempts to locate and combine with another business.

We may determine to pursue a transaction which limits our ability to use some or all of our substantial net operating loss carryforwards.

We are currently seeking to make one or more acquisitions to maximize value to all stockholders, which may benefit from the utilization of our substantial NOL carryforwards as of the date hereof. However, we will pursue any acquisition or transaction which the Board believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and NOL carryforwards will be one of several factors considered by the Board in determining whether to pursue any such transaction. The Board may determine to pursue a transaction which limits our ability to use some or all of our NOL carryforwards. In addition, if we are unable to complete an acquisition, we may lose some or all of our NOL carryforwards, or they may expire. Our federal NOL carryforwards began expiring in 2011 and will expire by 2031, with the majority of such NOLs expiring by 2022.

We may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete a business combination or to fund the operations and growth of an acquisition target.

If the proceeds from the Asset Sale are insufficient for a proposed acquisition, we may be required to seek additional financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities or other arrangements to finance the transaction. Due to the fact that we currently have no income other than interest received on our cash deposits, borrowing requirements and other factors, we cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular business combination, we may be compelled to restructure or abandon that particular business combination and seek alternative acquisition targets. In addition, if we complete a business combination, we may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of an acquisition target, which may be unavailable to us. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of our combined business or businesses.

Until we select particular industries or target businesses in which to invest, stockholders will be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of the industries or businesses in which we may ultimately operate.

We are seeking to acquire a company with principal business operations in one or more industries that provide opportunities for growth. We are not limited to any particular industry or type of business. Accordingly, there is no current basis for stockholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any particular industries in which we may ultimately operate or the target business or businesses in which we may invest. Although we will evaluate the risks inherent in any target business in which we determine to invest, we cannot assure you that all of the material risks related to such business will be properly assessed. Even if we properly assess those risks, some of them may be outside of our control or ability to affect or predict.

Risks Related to Our Company and Assets

We expect net losses for the foreseeable future due to low interest rates and because we have no operating business.

Following the Asset Sale completed on December 23, 2009, we have no operating business and our assets consist primarily of cash. Our sole source of income is interest received on our cash deposits. Due to current low interest rates, we do not expect material income until we are able to acquire an operating business. Additionally, we expect to incur expenses in connection with our acquisitions search, as well as expenses of being a public company. Until these conditions change, the Company expects to incur net losses.

We are a shell company under the federal securities laws which will subject us to additional costs and disclosure requirements.

Under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, (the "Securities Act") as amended, and Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") a shell company is any company with nominal operations and assets consisting of cash and nominal other assets. We are a shell company under federal securities laws.

Applicable securities rules prohibit shell companies from using (i) a Form S-8 registration statement to register securities pursuant to employee compensation plans for so long as we are a shell company and for a period of 60 days thereafter, and (ii) Form S-3 for the registration of a primary offering of securities for so long as we are a shell company and for 12 months thereafter.

Additionally, Form 8-K requires shell companies to provide more detailed disclosure upon completion of a transaction that causes it to cease being a shell company. To the extent that we acquire a business in the future, we must file a current report on Form 8-K containing the financial and other information required in a registration statement on Form 10 within four business days following completion of such a transaction.

To the extent that we are required to comply with additional disclosure as we are a shell company, we may be delayed in executing any mergers or acquiring other assets that would cause us to cease being a shell company. In addition, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, a holder of restricted securities of a “shell company” may not be allowed to resell their securities in reliance upon Rule 144. Preclusion from any prospective purchase using the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future, and the inability to utilize registration statements on Forms S-8 and S-3 would likely increase our cost to register securities in the future. Additionally, the loss of the use of Rule 144 and Forms S-3 and S-8 may make investments in our securities less attractive to investors and may make the offering and sale of our securities to employees, directors and others under compensatory arrangements more expensive and less attractive to recipients.

Our cash and cash equivalents could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold them fail.

Our cash and cash equivalents may be held in the form of cash or marketable securities and are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Currently, our cash and cash equivalents consist entirely of cash, but we may determine to invest in marketable securities at a later date. We maintain our cash with two reputable major financial institutions and would maintain any cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions. Deposits of cash with these banks exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. While we regularly monitor the cash balances in the operating accounts and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if either of the financial institutions with which we deposit fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. We can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash or cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets or the financial status of the financial institutions in which we maintain our cash.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.

Since October 2005, our common stock has been quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). The OTCBB is generally considered less efficient than exchanges such as The New York Stock Exchange and The NASDAQ Stock Market. Quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB may reduce the liquidity of our securities, limit the number of investors who trade in our securities, result in a lower stock price and larger spread in the bid and ask prices for shares of our common stock and could have an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may become subject to the SEC rules that affect “penny stocks,” which are stocks below $5.00 per share that are not quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market. These SEC rules would make it more difficult for brokers to find buyers for our securities and could lower the net sales prices that our stockholders are able to obtain. If our price of common stock remains low, we may not be able to raise equity capital.

Our listing on the OTCBB and our low stock price may greatly impair our ability to raise any future necessary capital through equity or debt financing and significantly increase the dilution to our current stockholders caused by any issuance of equity in financing or other transactions. The price at which we would issue shares in such transactions is generally based on the market price of our common stock, and a decline in the stock price could result in our need to issue a greater number of shares to raise a given amount of funding.

In addition, because our common stock is not listed on a principal national exchange, we are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and affect the ability of holders to sell their shares of our common stock in the secondary market. Moreover, investors may be less interested in purchasing low-priced securities because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction value, tend to be higher for such securities, and some investment funds will not invest in low-priced securities (other than those which focus on small-capitalization companies or low-priced securities).

Compliance with regulations governing public company corporate governance and reporting will result in additional costs.

Our continuing preparation for and implementation of various corporate governance reforms and enhanced disclosure laws and regulations adopted in recent years requires us to incur significant additional accounting and legal costs. We are subject to accounting disclosures required by laws and regulations adopted in connection with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). In particular, we are required to provide a report on our internal control over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any unanticipated difficulties in preparing for and implementing these and other corporate governance and reporting reforms could result in material delays in compliance or significantly increase our costs. Any failure to timely prepare for and implement the reforms required by new laws and regulations could significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We have adopted charter and bylaw provisions and a Rights Agreement that could delay or prevent an acquisition of the Company.

The Board has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Without any further vote or action on the part of the stockholders, the Board has the authority to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the preferred stock. This preferred stock, if issued, might have preference over and harm the rights of the holders of common stock. Although the ability to issue this preferred stock provides us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, it can also be used to make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. We currently have no plans to issue preferred stock.

Additionally, we have a stockholder rights plan that is intended to protect our ability to utilize our NOL carryforwards and which would also make it difficult for a third party to acquire a significant number of shares of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that may deter an unsolicited offer to purchase us. These provisions, coupled with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, may delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest. Furthermore, the Board is divided into three classes, only one of which is elected each year. In addition, directors are only removable by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all classes of voting stock. These factors may further delay or prevent a change of control of the Company.

Our ability to execute our acquisition strategy depends on our ability to retain qualified management and/or advisors.

To pursue our acquisition strategy following the closing of the Asset Sale, we will continue to require management with experience in identifying attractive acquisition candidates and executing acquisition transactions. Given the specialized nature of these skills and the fact that the Company faces competition in completing acquisitions, the inability of the Company to recruit and/or retain a talented management team could have a detrimental effect on the market price of our common stock and our ability to execute our strategy.

If we invest in securities, we could be required to register as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act, which would be costly and could significantly limit our ability to operate and acquire a business.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), requires registration as an investment company, for companies that are engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading securities. We are not engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged in those activities. However, a company may fall within the scope of being an “inadvertent investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the such Act if the value of its investment securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act) is more than 40% of its total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash and certain cash equivalents).

Currently, our assets consist primarily of cash and nominal other assets. We are pursuing an acquisition strategy. While our goal is to acquire one or more operating businesses, we may determine to invest in securities of another company in connection with such goal.

If we were unable to rely on an exclusion under the Investment Company Act and were deemed to be an inadvertent investment company due to an investment in marketable securities or otherwise, we would be forced to comply with substantive requirements of the Investment Company Act, including: (i) limitations on our ability to borrow; (ii) limitations on our capital structure; (iii) restrictions on acquisitions of interests in associated companies; (iv) prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; (v) restrictions on specific investments; (vi) limitations on our ability to issue stock options; and (vii) compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations. Registration as an investment company would subject us to additional costs, which may be substantial, and restrictions that would significantly impair our ability to pursue our fundamental business strategy of acquiring and operating an established business.

PROPERTIES.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Provo, Utah, where we sublease approximately 2,300 square feet on a month-to-month basis under an agreement with Nightwatch Capital Advisors, LLC, a company of which John Nemelka, our Interim Chief Executive Officer is the Managing Principal, and Paul Burgon, our Interim Chief Financial Officer, is a Principal and the Chief Financial Officer. Our rent under this sublease is approximately $4,200 per month. We believe these facilities are adequate for our business requirements.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In July 2001, the Company, its underwriters, and certain officers and directors were named as defendants in a securities class action lawsuit. This case is one of several hundred similar cases that have been consolidated into a single action. The complaint alleges misstatements and omissions concerning underwriters’ compensation in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. In February 2003, the Court denied a motion to dismiss that would have disposed of the claims against the Company. A settlement proposal, which did not admit wrongdoing, had been approved by the Board and preliminarily approved by the Court. While the parties’ request for court approval of the settlement was pending, in December 2006 the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s finding that six focus cases could be certified as class actions. In April 2007, the Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing, but acknowledged that the District Court might certify a more limited class. At a June 26, 2007 status conference, the Court terminated the proposed settlement as stipulated among the parties. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 14, 2007. On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in the six focus cases, which was withdrawn on October 10, 2008. On November 13, 2007 defendants in the six focus cases filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which the Court denied in March 2008. Plaintiffs, the issuer defendants (including the Company), the underwriter defendants, and the insurance carriers for the defendants, engaged in mediation and settlement negotiations. They reached a settlement agreement, which was submitted to the District Court for preliminary approval on April 2, 2009. As part of this settlement, the Company’s insurance carrier agreed to assume the Company’s entire payment obligation under the terms of the settlement. On June 10, 2009, the District Court granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement agreement. After a September 10, 2009 hearing, the District Court gave final approval to the settlement on October 5, 2009. Several objectors filed notices of appeal to the United States Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit from the District Court’s order granting final approval of the settlement. All but two of the objectors withdrew their appeals, and Plaintiff moved to dismiss the remaining appeals, one for violation of the Second Circuit’s rules and one for lack of standing. On May 17, 2011, the Second Circuit granted the motion to dismiss one objector’s appeal for violations of the Court’s rules and remanded the other appeal to the District Court to determine whether objector Hayes was a class member. On August 25, 2011, the District Court issued its decision determining that Hayes was not a class member. On September 30, 2011, objector Hayes filed a notice of appeal from the District Court’s decision. On January 9, 2012 objector Hayes dismissed his appeal with prejudice. No other appeals are pending, the order approving the settlement is final, and the matter is now concluded.

In October 2007, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington by Ms. Vanessa Simmonds against certain of the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering. The plaintiff alleges that the underwriters violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by engaging in short-swing trades, and seeks disgorgement of profits from the underwriters in amounts to be proven at trial. On February 28, 2008, Ms. Simmonds filed an amended complaint. The suit names the Company as a nominal defendant, contains no claims against the Company and seeks no relief from the Company. This lawsuit is one of more than fifty similar actions filed in the same court. On July 25, 2008, the underwriter defendants in the various actions filed a joint motion to dismiss the complaints for failure to state a claim. In addition, certain issuer defendants in the various actions filed a joint motion to dismiss the complaints for failure to state a claim. The Company entered into a stipulation with the plaintiff, entered as an order by the Court, that the Company is not required to answer or otherwise respond to the amended complaint. Accordingly, the Company did not join the motion to dismiss filed by certain issuers. On March 12, 2009, the Court dismissed the complaint in this lawsuit with prejudice. On April 10, 2009, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s order, and thereafter the underwriter defendants filed a cross appeal to a portion of the District Court’s order that dismissed thirty (30) of the cases without prejudice following the moving issuers’ motion to dismiss. On May 22, 2009 the Ninth Circuit issued an order granting the parties’ joint motion to consolidate the 54 appeals and 30 cross-appeals. On December 2, 2010, the Ninth Circuit affirmed dismissal of the lawsuits against the 30 issuer defendants on the grounds of inadequate demand, but ordered the district court to dismiss these lawsuits with prejudice. The Ninth Circuit reversed dismissal on statute of limitations grounds, but remanded all of the remaining cases to the district court with instructions to allow the underwriter defendants and/or the remaining issuer defendants to file motions to dismiss for inadequate demand. On December 16, 2010, plaintiff and the underwriter defendants separately petitioned for a rehearing and a rehearing en banc, which petitions were denied on January 18, 2011. On January 25 and 26, 2011, the Ninth Circuit granted the motions of the underwriter defendants and of the plaintiff to stay the issuance of the court’s mandate pending those parties’ respective petitions for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. The plaintiffs and the underwriter defendants filed petitions for writ of certiorari on April 5, 2011 and April 15, 2011, respectively. On June 27, 2011, the Supreme Court granted the underwriter defendants’ petition for writ of certiorari and denied the plaintiff’s petition for writ of certiorari. On November 29, 2011 the Supreme Court heard oral argument. On March 26, 2012 the Court reversed the Ninth Circuit's ruling that plaintiffs claim was not barred by the applicable statute of limitations, and remanded for further proceedings on plaintiff's alternative claim that the statute of limitations was extended by the doctrine of equitable tolling. The District Court had determined that equitable tolling did not apply, but the Ninth Circuit had not considered that issue.

The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and either unfavorable or favorable outcomes could have a material negative impact on the Company’s results of operations, balance sheets and cash flows due to defense costs, and divert management resources.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On November 8, 2010, the Company granted shares of restricted common stock to its non-employee directors. Michael Weinberg, the Chairman of the Board, was granted 200,000 shares, and William Clifford and Michael Margolis were each granted 100,000 shares. Shares are forfeited if not earned within five years from the date of the grant, and vest when the Company’s average closing stock price exceeds certain levels for sixty consecutive calendar days. 50% of each award vests at a stock price of $1.80, 25% vests at $2.25, and 25% vests at $2.70. These shares were not registered under the Securities Act, as amended in reliance upon Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, and Rule 12h-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

On January 31, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Board compensation plan.

Overview

The Company was known until December 23, 2009 as KANA Software, Inc. (“KANA”) and was headquartered in Menlo Park, California. For a discussion of our historical business, see “Historical Business” below.

Following an extensive strategic process, on October 26, 2009, the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Kay Technology, an affiliate of Accel-KKR Capital Partners III L.P. (“AKKR”). Pursuant to this Agreement, on December 23, 2009, the Company sold to Kay Technology substantially all of its assets.

The consideration in the transaction was $40.6 million, of which $38.6 million in cash was paid to the Company at closing and $1.0 million was paid to an escrow to satisfy SWK’s indemnification obligations for certain specified tax-related contingencies. We received approximately $481,000, net of expenses, from this escrow in the fourth quarter of 2010. In the second quarter of 2011, we received $169,000, net of expenses, as full payment from the remaining escrow funds. An additional $1.0 million was paid into the Purchase Price Escrow at closing, which we received in the second quarter of 2010, and an additional $382,000 was received in the first quarter of 2010 which related to the receipt of certain customer and vendor consents to the Asset Sale. No other funds are collectable from the Asset Sale.

At the closing of the Asset Sale, the Company changed its name from Kana Software, Inc. to SWK Holdings Corporation.

From and after the completion of the Asset Sale, we have maintained our cash at two large financial institutions. As of the date hereof, we are earning annual interest income of approximately 0.45% on our cash and expect to continue to receive interest at current market rates.

Historical business

From 1996 to December 23, 2009, the Company engaged in the development, marketing and support of customer communications software products. Its applications were designed to integrate with other enterprise software and legacy systems and provide customers with capabilities for personalization, customer profile management, inquiry management, universal business rules, knowledge management and work flow. KANA also offered customer support and professional services, such as consulting and education.

On December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $38.2 million. As of December 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $4.3 billion and a positive working capital of $38.1 million. Losses from operations were $1.5 million and $1.8 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively, and we had a net loss of $1.1 million and $707,000 in 2011 and 2010 respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.2 and $1.3 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Due to our limited operations and substantial cash balance following the Asset Sale, we have adequate cash to fund our operations, working capital and capital expenditure requirements, comprised primarily of public company expenses and costs related to our acquisition search through December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2011, we had three full-time employees.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis of judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates.

We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies. These critical accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, and are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. The Company may be required to adopt different policies with respect to any business it may acquire in the future.

Please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further description of our critical accounting policies.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Contingencies and Litigation

We are subject to lawsuits and other claims and proceedings. We assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of loss contingency required, if any, for these matters are made after careful analysis of each individual matter. The required loss contingencies may change in the future as the facts and circumstances of each matter changes.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the current Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values.

The guidance requires companies to estimate the fair value of employee stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our statements of operations. Employee and director stock-based compensation expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $81,000 and $8,000, respectively.

We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate method for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions which determine the fair value of stock options, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

For restricted stock, the Company recognizes compensation expense in accordance with the fair value of such stock as determined on the grant date, amortized over the applicable service period. When vesting of awards is based wholly or in part upon the future performance of the stock price, such terms result in adjustments to the grant date fair value of the award and the derivation of a service period. If service is provided over the derived service period, the adjusted fair value of the awards will be recognized as compensation expense, regardless of whether or not the awards vest.

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We discuss the potential impact of recent accounting pronouncements in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Revenues

There were no revenue generating operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010 as a result of the Asset Sale.

Costs and Expenses

There were no cost of revenues in the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for finance, legal, human resources and corporate governance. General and administrative expenses were $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Stock-based compensation totaled $81,000 and 8,000 in 2011 and 2010 respectively; this expense increased in 2011 due to restricted stock granted to the Board in late 2010. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had three general and administrative employees.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income consists primarily of interest expense and adjustments to warrant value. Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and was approximately $254,000 and $275,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in interest income related to lower average cash and cash equivalents balances in 2011 compared to 2010, as well as slightly lower interest rates. In addition, there was $30,000 and $255,000 of income of expense related to adjustment of the fair value of warrants for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Gain on the Asset Sale

Following an extensive strategic process, on October 26, 2009, the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Kay Technology, an affiliate of AKKR. Pursuant to this Agreement, on December 23, 2009, the Company sold to Kay Technology substantially all of its assets.

Income Tax Expense

We have incurred net operating losses on a consolidated basis for all years from inception through 2011. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of gross deferred tax assets, as the future realization of the tax benefit is not “currently more likely than not.” In 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized income tax benefit of $26,000 and $20,000, respectively, related to the lapse of the statute of limitations for a portion of our uncertain tax positions. The net deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $0.

As of December 31, 2011, we had operating loss carryforwards for federal and California income tax purposes of approximately $446 million and $137 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards began expiring in 2011 and, if not offset against future taxable income, will expire by 2031, with the majority of such NOLs expiring by 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, we had $38.2 million in cash, compared to $39.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2011, we had positive working capital of $38.1 million.

On December 23, 2009, the Company completed the Asset Sale. The consideration in the transaction was $40.6 million, of which $38.6 million in cash was paid to the Company at closing and $1.0 million was paid to an escrow to satisfy SWK’s indemnification obligations for certain specified tax-related contingencies. We received approximately $481,000, net of expenses, from this escrow in the fourth quarter of 2010. In the second quarter of 2011, we received $169,000, net of expenses, as full payment from the remaining escrow funds. An additional $1.0 million was paid into the Purchase Price Escrow at closing, which we received in the second quarter of 2010, and an additional $382,000 was received in the first quarter of 2010 which related to the receipt of certain customer and vendor consents to the Asset Sale. No other funds are collectable from the Asset Sale.

Future cash flow. Following the Asset Sale, the Company has no operating business and is seeking to complete an acquisition. As stated above, the Company expects to have net losses until we are able to complete an acquisition or interest rates increase. Our ability to generate cash in the future depends upon our success in acquiring material business operations. Until then or until interest rates increase substantially, we expect our cash receipts to consist entirely of interest upon our cash at current market rates, which are low. Additionally, we expect to incur expenses to carry out our acquisition strategy and fund public company expenses. Therefore, we expect to incur negative cash flow. See “We expect net losses for the foreseeable future due to low interest rates and because we have no operating business.” under Item 1A above.

Operating cash flow. The Company had negative cash flow from operating activities of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, which included a net loss of $1.1 million and non-cash income of $225,000. The Company had negative cash flow from operating activities of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, which included a net loss of $707,000 and total non-cash income of $777,000, which were partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $166,000.

Investing cash flow. The Company’s investing activities generated $169,000 and $1.9 million of cash in 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily from Asset Sale escrow collections.

Financing cash flow . Cash generated from financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0 and $22,000, respectively, from stock option exercises.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Employee Equity Incentive Plans. See Note 1 and Note 5 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding employee equity incentive plans and stock-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Information regarding equity incentive plans should be read in conjunction with the information appearing under the heading “Executive Compensation and Related Information” and “Equity Compensation Plan Information” in Item 11 herein.

Outlook. As of December 31, 2011, we had no operating business, and we anticipate we will not generate any income other than interest income until we consummate a business combination or develop other sources of income. See “We expect net losses for the foreseeable future due to low interest rates and because we have no operating business.” under Item 1A above. We estimate our capital resources are adequate to fund our limited operating activities for twelve months from the balance sheet date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

SWK Holdings Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SWK Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 have we been engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 SWK Holdings Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in December 2009 the Company sold substantially all of its operating assets. As a result of this transaction, the Company has no ongoing business operations. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 1.

SWK HOLDINGS CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. SWK Holdings Corporation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Since the completion of the Asset Sale (see Basis of Presentation and Note 2), we have been seeking to redeploy our cash to maximize value for our stockholders and are seeking, analyzing and evaluating potential acquisition or investment candidates. Our goal is to redeploy our existing assets to acquire, or invest in, one or more businesses which could create value for our shareholders, and where existing or prospective taxable income (or the ability to generate capital gains) might be offset by use of our NOL carryforwards. We are using a value-focused strategy and are focusing our search on U.S.-based businesses. As of the date hereof, we are in the process of indentifying candidates for acquisition or other investment. We are unable to assure that we will find suitable candidates or that we will be able to utilize our existing NOL carryforwards.

Basis of Presentation

SWK Holdings Corporation was known until December 23, 2009 as KANA Software, Inc. (“KANA”) and was headquartered in Menlo Park, California.

Following an extensive strategic process, on October 26, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Kay Technology Corp., Inc. ("Kay Technology"), an affiliate of Accel-KKR Capital Partners III, L.P. (“AKKR”). The consideration in the transaction was $40.6 million, of which $38.6 million in cash was paid to the Company at closing and $1.0 million was paid to an escrow to satisfy SWK’s indemnification obligations for certain specified tax-related contingencies. We received approximately $481,000, net of expenses, from this escrow in the fourth quarter of 2010. In the second quarter of 2011, we received $169,000, net of expenses, as full payment from the remaining tax escrow funds. An additional $1.0 million was paid into the Purchase Price Escrow at closing, which we received in the second quarter of 2010, and an additional $382,000 was received in the first quarter of 2010 which related to the receipt of certain customer and vendor consents to the Asset Sale. No other funds are collectable from the Asset Sale.

At the closing of the Asset Sale, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name from Kana Software, Inc. to SWK Holdings Corporation.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no material operating business and our only material balance sheet asset was our cash.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no such investments at December 31, 2011 or 2010, as all of our cash was held in checking or savings accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their relatively short maturities or payment terms.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

Financial instruments subjecting the Company to concentrations of credit risk have consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. Deposits in these institutions are substantially in excess of the federally insured amounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three years for computer equipment, software and furniture and fixtures, the shorter of ten years or the life of the lease for leasehold improvements. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in operations. Improvements that extend the life of a specific asset are capitalized, while normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense in the statement of operations for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values.

Employee stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations was $81,000 and $8,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards, less expected forfeitures, is amortized over the awards’ vesting or service period on a straight-line basis.

Stock-based option compensation is based on the estimated fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of operations. Since stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

See Note 5, “Stockholders’ Equity” for additional information on stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount where realization is more likely than not.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the provisions of ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). If the Company ultimately determines that the payment of such a liability is not necessary, then the Company reverses the liability and recognizes a tax benefit during the period in which the determination is made that the liability is no longer necessary. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax benefit in the statements of operations.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options, vesting of restricted stock, and warrants deemed outstanding using the treasury stock method. Outstanding unvested warrants, restricted shares and stock options of approximately 2,495,000 and 2,544,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as these securities were anti-dilutive for the periods presented. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands, except for per share data):

	Years Ended December 31,

Shares used in computing diluted loss per share		41,247			41,235

Comprehensive Loss

The Company reports comprehensive loss in accordance with FASB guidance, which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. The components of other comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive loss and the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, net loss equaled comprehensive loss.

Note 2. Sale of Substantially All of the Company’s Assets

On December, 23, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated October 26, 2009, the Company sold to Kay Technology substantially all of its assets other than (i) NOLs, (ii) certain other deferred tax assets, (iii) cash received upon the exercise of certain options and warrants, (iv) certain potential income tax refunds, (v) stockholder and stock option records, (vi) contracts related to any equity investments and our stockholder rights plan, (vii) insurance policies and (viii) certain other immaterial assets. Kay Technology assumed substantially all of the Company’s liabilities, other than those: (i) arising under the Asset Purchase Agreement, including related taxes and transaction costs, (ii) related to the assets retained in the Asset Sale, (iii) insured by our insurance policies or related to indemnification of directors or officers, (iv) relating to the payment of income taxes for periods prior to the closing or as a transferee or successor, (v) with respect to certain employees not hired by Kay Technology, (vi) in connection with contracts related to any equity investment in KANA and our stockholder rights plan, and (vii) arising from any claims by any of KANA’s stockholders or other equity holders. All subsidiaries of the Company were also transferred to Kay Technology in the transaction.

The consideration in the transaction was $40.6 million, of which $38.6 million was paid in cash to the Company at closing, $1.0 million was paid into escrow to satisfy the Company’s indemnification obligations for certain specified contingencies and an additional $1.0 million was paid into the Purchase Price Escrow.

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to indemnify Kay Technology for a decrease in adjusted working capital and net debt if either decreased below certain amounts between the signing and the closing of the transaction. The calculation of adjusted net working capital and net debt was calculated as required pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, and included certain components which were not otherwise consistent with working capital or net debt as defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, the Company indemnified Kay Technology for certain transaction-related expenses as defined in and pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

At the closing of the Asset Sale, and in accordance with the approval of a majority of the Company’s stockholders voting at the annual and special meeting of the stockholders held on December 23, 2009, the Company changed its name to SWK Holdings Corporation on December 23, 2009.

The Asset Purchase Agreement provided for a reduction in the purchase price if certain customer and vendor consents were not received prior to the closing, but allowed the Company to recoup such reduction with respect to any consent received within 30 days of the closing. On February 22, 2010, Kay Technology paid to the Company approximately $382,000 for customer and vendor consents received after the closing of the Asset Sale.

The Company recognized $1.0 million in contingent consideration as of December 31, 2009 as a non-trade receivable in the balance sheet. This contingent consideration was paid into the Purchase Price Escrow at closing to satisfy our obligations under any potential downward “true-up” adjustment to the purchase price post-closing. This amount was received in the second quarter of 2010.

Additional consideration of $1.0 million also held in escrow for certain tax-related contingencies was not booked as a receivable as of December 31, 2009, given some uncertainty in the collectability of this escrow. We received approximately $481,000 from this escrow in the fourth quarter of 2010, which amount was net of allowable expenses incurred by Kay Technology to resolve the matter. In the second quarter of 2011, we received approximately $169,000 from the remaining escrow account, which is net of allowable expenses incurred by Kay Technology in resolving the matter. There are no other funds collectible from the Asset Sale.

The gain on sale of the Company's assets, as included in the statement of operations, is based on the carrying value of the assets sold and liabilities assumed immediately prior to the closing of the transaction. The subsequent gain on the Asset Sale due to residual activities in 2011 and 2010 was determined as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2011		2010
Net collection of escrow amounts	$	169	$	481
Other Asset Sale collections		-		21
	$	169	$	502

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Lease Obligations

All lease obligations of the Company immediately prior to the closing of the Asset Sale were assumed by Kay Technology in the Asset Sale.

Rent expense for properties in use was approximately $50,000 and $49,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(b) Other Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no material future contractual obligations.

In July 2001, the Company, its underwriters, and certain officers and directors were named as defendants in a securities class action lawsuit. This case is one of several hundred similar cases that have been consolidated into a single action. The complaint alleges misstatements and omissions concerning underwriters’ compensation in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. In February 2003, the Court denied a motion to dismiss that would have disposed of the claims against the Company. A settlement proposal, which did not admit wrongdoing, had been approved by the Board and preliminarily approved by the Court. While the parties’ request for court approval of the settlement was pending, in December 2006 the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s finding that six focus cases could be certified as class actions. In April 2007, the Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing, but acknowledged that the District Court might certify a more limited class. At a June 26, 2007 status conference, the Court terminated the proposed settlement as stipulated among the parties. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 14, 2007. On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in the six focus cases, which was withdrawn on October 10, 2008. On November 13, 2007 defendants in the six focus cases filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which the Court denied in March 2008. Plaintiffs, the issuer defendants (including the Company), the underwriter defendants, and the insurance carriers for the defendants, engaged in mediation and settlement negotiations. They reached a settlement agreement, which was submitted to the District Court for preliminary approval on April 2, 2009. As part of this settlement, the Company’s insurance carrier agreed to assume the Company’s entire payment obligation under the terms of the settlement. On June 10, 2009, the District Court granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement agreement. After a September 10, 2009 hearing, the District Court gave final approval to the settlement on October 5, 2009. Several objectors filed notices of appeal to the United States Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit from the District Court’s order granting final approval of the settlement. All but two of the objectors withdrew their appeals, and Plaintiff moved to dismiss the remaining appeals, one for violation of the Second Circuit’s rules and one for lack of standing. On May 17, 2011, the Second Circuit granted the motion to dismiss one objector’s appeal for violations of the Court’s rules and remanded the other appeal to the District Court to determine whether objector Hayes was a class member. On August 25, 2011, the District Court issued its decision determining that Hayes was not a class member. On September 30, 2011, objector Hayes filed a notice of appeal from the District Court’s decision. On January 9, 2012, objector Hayes dismissed his appeal with prejudice. No other appeals are pending, the order approving the settlement is final, and the matter is now concluded.

(d) Indemnification

As permitted by Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any such amounts. As a result of the Company’s insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is insignificant. Accordingly, the Company had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity

(a) Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants

In June and September 2005, the Company completed a private placement of unregistered securities for the issuance of common stock and warrants. The Company issued a total of 1,914,586 warrants, including penalties for the Company’s subsequent delisting from NASDAQ.

On November 9, 2006, the Company completed the registration of the shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued to the investors. In October 2009, these warrants were amended to provide that such warrants would not be assumed by Kay Technology in connection with the Asset Sale. In consideration for this amendment, we agreed to extend the exercise period of the warrants by an additional two years.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had the following warrants outstanding and exercisable:

	Number of warrants		Warrant exercise price
June 2005 warrants expiring in September 2012		815,769	$	2.45
September 2005 warrants expiring in September 2012		945,687	$	1.97
October 2005 warrants expiring in October 2012		153,130	$	1.97

Total		1,914,586

(b) Stock Compensation Plans

As part of the Asset Sale, the Company accelerated the vesting of all employee stock options. Any vested but unexercised employee stock options as of March 31, 2010 were cancelled on such date. In addition, Kay Technology withheld from the proceeds of the Asset Sale the amount representing the in-the-money option value of all employee options based on the purchase price per share. Kay Technology paid these amounts with respect to each such former KANA employee either (i) as a bonus to each such KANA employee holding such options promptly following the Company’s notification to Purchaser of the expiration or termination of such options in accordance with their terms and the option plans under which the options were granted, or (ii) in the event a former KANA employee elected to exercise such options following the closing but prior to their expiration or termination, to the Company following such time the Company notified Kay Technology of any such exercise (in which case, no such bonus was payable to such employee).

The Company’s 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Stock Incentive Plan”), as successor to the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Stock Option Plan”), provided for options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to be granted to employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors. The plan expired in July 2009. As a result of the termination of all employees on December 31, 2009, the stock options held by employees were cancelled on March 31, 2010, unless exercised prior to the cancellation date.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Stock Incentive Plan”) in the fourth quarter of 2010. The 2010 Plan provides for options, restricted stock, and other customary forms of equity to be granted to the Company’s directors, officers, employees, and independent contractors. All forms of equity incentive compensation are granted at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and have a term not greater than 10 years from the date of grant.

The following table summarizes activities under the option plans for the indicated periods:

	Options Outstanding
	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

On December 31, 2011, there were 4.1 million shares reserved for equity awards under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. At December 31, 2011, the Company had no unrecognized stock option compensation expense, and had $73,000 of total unrecognized restricted stock compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, that will be recognized over the weighted average remaining period of 1.2 years.

The following table summarizes significant ranges of outstanding and exercisable options as of December 31, 2011:

		Options Outstanding, Vested and Exercisable
Exercise Prices		Number Outstanding, Vested and Exercisable		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
$	0.70		20,000		7.5	$	0.70
	1.24		20,000		6.6		1.24
	2.65		10,000		5.9		2.65
	2.67		20,000		5.6		2.67
	2.95		90,000		4.7		2.95
$	3.50		20,000		5.2		3.50
Total			180,000		5.4	$	2.52

There were no options granted in 2011 or 2010.

On November 8, 2010, the Company granted shares of restricted common stock to its non-executive directors. Michael Weinberg, the Chairman of the Board, was granted 200,000 shares, and William Clifford and Michael Margolis were each granted 100,000 shares. Shares are forfeited if not earned within five years from the date of the grant, and vest when the Company’s average closing stock price exceeds certain levels for sixty consecutive calendar days. 50% of each award vests at a stock price (as defined above) of $1.80, 25% vests at $2.25, and 25% vests at $2.70. All 400,000 shares are included in the Company’s shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011, but are not included in the computation of basic EPS as the shares are not yet earned by the recipients.

For performance shares restricted stock granted in 2010 under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company recognizes compensation expense in accordance with the fair value of such stock as determined on the grant date, amortized over the applicable derived service period per ASC 718 using the graded amortization method. The fair value and derived service period was calculated using a lattice model and included adjustments to the fair value of the Company’s common stock resulting from the vesting conditions being based on the underlying stock price. The weighted average fair value of these awards was $0.47 per share.

No shares of restricted stock vested under their terms or were forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 6. Warrant Liability

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB eliminating an exemption to derivative treatment for certain financial instruments. As a result of adopting this guidance, warrants to purchase 1,914,586 of the Company’s common stock previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment. These warrants have exercise prices ranging from $1.97 to $2.45 and expire in September or October 2012. The Company recorded a gain of $30,000 and a gain of $255,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in volatility and the outstanding term, which are included in interest and other income on the statement of operations. The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions that were used to calculate fair value as of January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010 and 2011 were as follows:

	Expiration Date
	September 2012			October 2012
Assumptions as of December 31, 2010:
Risk-free interest rate		0.6	%		0.6	%
Expected volatility		39	%		43	%
Expected life (in years)		1.7			1.8

Deferred Tax Assets
Credit carryforward	$	6,148		$	6,148
Stock based compensation		35			-

Net operating losses		159,615			170,271

Gross deferred tax assets		166,399			177,024
Valuation allowance		(166,399	)		(177,024	)
Net Deferred Tax Assets	$	-		$	-

The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2011 was a net decrease of approximately $11 million mostly due to the write off of deferred tax assets upon expiration of a portion of the Company's NOLs. The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2010 was a net decrease of approximately $6 million due to the write off of deferred tax assets. Management believes that sufficient uncertainty exists as to whether the deferred tax assets will be realized, and accordingly, a valuation allowance is required.

A portion of deferred tax assets relating to NOLs pertains to NOL carryforwards resulting from tax deductions upon the exercise of employee stock options of approximately $6.3 million. When recognized, the tax benefit of these loss carryforwards will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital rather than a reduction of the income tax expense.

As of December 31, 2011 the Company had NOLs for federal and state income tax purposes of $446 million and $137 million, respectively. The federal and state operating losses, if not offset against future taxable income, will expire by 2031, with the majority of such NOLs expiring by 2022.

The Company also had federal and state research carryforwards of approximately $2.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The federal credits will expire by 2030 and the state credits have no expiration.

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, the amounts of and benefits from NOLs may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50%, as defined, over a three year period. The portion of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards subject to potential expiration or IRC Sec. 382 limitation has not been included in deferred tax assets.

The Company records liabilities, where appropriate, for all uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense. The adoption of these provisions did not have an impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In 2011, the Company released $30,000 of unrecognized tax benefit due to the lapse of the statute of limitation. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $63,000 of unrecognized tax benefits.

For years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010 the Company accrued approximately $3,600, and $3,000 respectively, of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (rounded):

	2011			2010
Balance as of January 1	$	89,000		$	109,000
Additions for tax positions related to the current year		4,000			3,000
Additions for tax positions related to prior years		-			-
Reductions for tax positions of prior years due to lapse of statute of limitation		(30,000	)		(23,000	)
Settlements		-			-
Balance as of December 31	$	63,000		$	89,000

The Company is subject to taxation in the US and various state jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending December 31, 1997 through December 31, 2011 due to carryforward of unutilized net operating losses and research development credits. The Company does not anticipate significant changes to its uncertain tax positions through December 31, 2011.

Note 8. Information About Geographic Areas

All of the Company’s long-lived assets, which consist only of property and equipment, are located in the United States as of December 31, 2011.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurement—Financial Liabilities

The Company considers fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based on their own market assumptions. The Company utilizes the following three-level fair value hierarchy to establish the priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1—instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

Level 2—instrument valuations are obtained from sources other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—instrument valuations are obtained without observable market values and require a high level of judgment to determine the fair value.

The Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 was $0.

The warrant liability decreased by $30,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011 to $0 primarily due to lower volatility and a shorter term. The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The change in the value of the warrant liability during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was as follows (in thousands):

	2011			2010
Fair value - beginning of period	$	30		$	285
Change in fair value		(30	)		(255	)
Fair value - end of period	$	-		$	30

The valuation of the warrants is discussed in Note 6.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

On February 2, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the renewal of the Company’s shareholder rights plan, which would have expired on February 3, 2012. The Board renewed the plan on substantially the same terms as the previous plan, but with an expiration date of February 3, 2015. See discussion of the Company’s shareholder rights plan in Part I, Item 1.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, under the supervision of the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d(f) under the Exchange Act) is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures which (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, (iii) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the board of directors, and (iv) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result of that evaluation, management concluded that as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria set forth in the COSO framework.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

Our system of controls is designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability and integrity of accounting and financial reporting. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. These inherent limitations include the following:

•

Judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes;

•

Controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override;

•

The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions;

•

Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures; and

•

The design of a control system must reflect the fact that resources are constrained, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes during the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees of the Board

The Board has three standing committees: the audit committee, the compensation committee and the governance and nominating committee.

Audit Committee . We have a standing audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) established in accordance with Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Since July 30, 2010, the members of our Audit Committee have been Mr. Margolis (Chair) and Mr. Clifford. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence and other requirements to serve on our Audit Committee under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the Board determined that Mr. Margolis is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the rules of the SEC.

The Audit Committee met 7 times in 2011. The report of the Audit Committee is provided below. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is posted in the Corporate Governance section of our Internet website (at www.swkhold.com). The principal functions of the Audit Committee are to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements, oversee our relationship with our independent auditors, including selecting, evaluating and setting the compensation of, and approving all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent auditors, and facilitate communication among our independent auditors and our financial and senior management.

Compensation Committee . We have a standing compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Clifford (Chair) and Weinberg.

The Compensation Committee met 2 times in 2011. Each current member of the Compensation Committee meets the independence and other requirements to serve on our Compensation Committee under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules and the rules of the SEC. Mr. Nemelka met such requirements in the period during which he served on the Committee.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee, a copy of which is posted in the corporate governance section of our Internet website (at www.swkhold.com). The Compensation Committee has responsibilities relating to the performance evaluation and the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, the compensation of our executive officers and directors and our significant compensation arrangements, plans, policies and programs, including our stock compensation plans. Certain of our executive officers, our outside counsel and consultants may occasionally attend the meetings of the Compensation Committee. However, no officer of the Company is present during discussions or deliberations regarding that officer’s own compensation.

Governance and Nominating Committee . We have a standing governance and nominating committee of the Board (the “Governance and Nominating Committee”). Since July 30, 2010, the members of our Governance and Nominating Committee are Mr. Weinberg (Chair) and Mr. Margolis. The Governance and Nominating Committee met 3 times in 2011. Each of Messrs. Weinberg and Margolis meets the independence and other requirements to serve on our Governance and Nominating Committee under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules and the rules of the SEC.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Governance and Nominating Committee, a copy of which is posted in the Corporate Governance section of our Internet website (at www.swkhold.com). The Governance and Nominating Committee considers the performance of the members of the Board and nominees for director positions and evaluates and oversees corporate governance and related issues.

The goal of the Governance and Nominating Committee is to ensure that the members of the Board possess a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience. The Governance and Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board. To this end, the Governance and Nominating Committee seeks nominees with the highest professional and personal ethics and values, an understanding of our business and industry, diversity of business experience and expertise, a high level of education, broad-based business acumen and the ability to think strategically. Although the Governance and Nominating Committee uses these and other criteria to evaluate potential nominees to the Board, it has no stated minimum criteria for such nominees. The Governance and Nominating Committee does not use different standards to evaluate nominees depending on whether they are proposed by our directors and management or by our stockholders. To date, we have not paid any third parties to assist us in this process.

The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider stockholder recommendations for director candidates. The Governance and Nominating Committee has established the following procedure for stockholders to submit such recommendations for which there has been no material change: the stockholder should send the name of the individual and related personal and professional information, including a list of references to our Governance and Nominating Committee, in care of the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices, sufficiently in advance of the annual meeting to allow the Governance and Nominating committee appropriate time to consider the recommendation.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

We separated the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board on January 4, 2010, following the completion of the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets in December 2009 (the “Asset Sale”). Michael Weinberg serves as Chairman of the Board, while John Nemelka serves as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board believes the separation of these roles enables effective oversight of management and provides checks and balances with respect to the decision making process at the Company.

The Board, in conjunction with the Company’s officers, is responsible for considering, identifying and managing material risks to the Company. The audit committee plays a critical role in evaluating and managing internal controls, financial risk exposure and monitoring the activities of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The entire Board also receives updates at each Board meeting regarding any material risks from the Company’s management.

Compensation of Directors

Starting in July 2010, we paid each of our non-executive directors (i) an annual fee of $15,000 and (ii) an additional $2,500 for each of the four regularly scheduled Board meetings that such director attends, and (iii) an additional $10,000 for each Committee Chair. Starting in January 2012, the Board will be paid an automatic, annual grant of 35,000 restricted shares of our common stock in lieu of the above cash payments. The restricted stock fully vests on the first anniversary of each grant, and is forfeited if the Board member does not complete the year of service.

We reimburse our directors for reasonable travel and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending the meetings of the Board. The Company is also party to indemnification agreements with each of its directors.

2011 Director Compensation

The table below summarizes the compensation paid by the Company to non-executive directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Mr. Nemelka was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company on January 4, 2010 and has not received any compensation for his services as a director from and after such date.

Code of Ethics and Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct applicable to all directors, officers and employees of the Company, as required by applicable securities laws and the rules of the SEC. A copy of the Code of Ethics and Conduct is posted in the Corporate Governance section of our Internet website at www.swkhold.com.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

The members of the Board, our executive officers and persons who hold more than 10% of our outstanding common stock are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which requires them to file reports with respect to their ownership of our common stock and their transactions in such common stock. Based solely on (i) information provided to us by our current officers and directors, and (ii) our review of reporting forms filed by our directors, executive officers and persons who hold more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, we believe that during 2011 such persons filed the reports required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on a timely basis.

Material Terms of Employment

On January 4, 2010, the Company entered into offer letters with each of Messrs. Nemelka and Burgon, providing for annual salaries of $200,000 and $175,000, respectively. Pursuant to the offer letters, Messrs. Nemelka and Burgon are at-will employees of the Company. The Company is also party to indemnification agreements with its executive officers that may require the Company to indemnify such officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of the officers’ status or service. Since the employees of the Company are at will, the Company does not believe that there are any material risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices for its employees.

2010 Equity Incentive Plan

On November 8, 2010, the Board approved the 2010 SWK Holdings Corporation Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The purpose of the 2010 Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the Company, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company’s future performance through the grant of equity awards. The 2010 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The 2010 Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, dividend equivalents, performance awards and stock payments, or any combination thereof. The applicable award agreement will contain the period during which the right to exercise the award in whole or in part vests. At any time after the grant of an award, the administrator may accelerate the period during which the award vests.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of [March 15, 2012], by the following individuals or groups:

each person or entity who is known by us to own beneficially more than five percent of our outstanding stock;

each of our named executive officers;

each of our directors; and

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

Our Audit Committee Charter requires our Audit Committee to review and approve certain transactions between us and our executive officers and directors and greater than 5% beneficial owners of our common stock, and each of their immediate family members. Transactions subject to the review and approval of the Audit Committee (or another independent body of the Board) include transactions between us and the related person in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000 and in which such person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. To identify any related party transactions, each year, we submit and require our directors and officers to complete director and officer questionnaires identifying any transactions with us in which the executive officer or director or their family members has an interest. In addition, the Board determines, on an annual basis, which members of the Board meet the definition of independent director as defined in the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market and reviews and discusses any relationships with a director that would potentially interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In approving or rejecting any such transaction, the Audit Committee, considers the relevant facts and circumstances available to it, including but not limited to the risks, costs, benefits to our company, the terms of the transaction, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products and, if applicable, the impact on a director’s independence. Our Audit Committee approves only those transactions that it determines in good faith, are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests.

Certain Transactions with Related Persons

Since January 2010, we have been subleasing approximately 2,300 square feet on a month-to-month basis under an agreement with Nightwatch, a company of which John Nemelka, our Interim Chief Executive Officer is the Managing Principal, and Paul Burgon, our Interim Chief Financial Officer, is a Principal and the Chief Financial Officer. Our rent under this sublease is approximately $4,200 per month. Additionally, we have entered into a services agreement with Nightwatch to provide certain administrative services at cost. The expenses under the services agreement are expected to be less than $1,000 per month.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Part III, there have not been, and there are not currently proposed, any transactions or series of similar transactions in which we were or will be a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Independence

The Board has adopted the definitions, standards and exceptions to the standards for evaluating director independence provided in the NASDAQ Stock Market rules, and determined that three of our current directors, Mr. Clifford, Mr. Margolis and Mr. Weinberg, are independent under the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

The Board met 20 times in 2011, including telephone conference meetings. During 2011, no director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served during the time period for which each such director served on the Board.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

2011 and 2010 Audit Fee Summary

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc. (“BPM”), audited our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Set forth below are the aggregated fees (in thousands) billed for audit and other services provided by BPM for 2011 and 2010.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2011		2010
Audit fees (1)	$	91	$	113
Audit-Related fees (2)		6
Tax fees
All other fees
Total fees	$	97	$	113

(1) Consists of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of our quarterly condensed financial statements and services, such as consents and review of SEC comment letters that are normally provided by BPM in connection with statutory and regulatory filing engagements.

(2) Consists of fees billed for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under "Audit fees". In 2011, these services included due diligence services pertaining to potential acquisitions.

Our Audit Committee considers at least annually whether the provision of non-audit services by our independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining auditor independence. This process includes:

Obtaining and reviewing, on at least an annual basis, a letter from the independent registered public accounting firm describing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company required to be disclosed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards, reviewing the nature and scope of such relationships, discussing these relationships with the independent registered public accounting firm and discontinuing any relationships that the Audit Committee believes could compromise the independence of the registered public accounting firm.

Obtaining reports of all non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm before such services are performed, reviewing and approving or prohibiting, as appropriate, any non-audit services not permitted by applicable law. The Audit Committee may delegate authority to review and approve or prohibit non-audit services to one or more members of the Audit Committee, and direct that any approval so granted be reported to the Audit Committee at a following meeting of the Audit Committee.

All services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 were approved in advance by the Audit Committee.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

All audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed for the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the firm’s independence. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibility to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditors to management.

The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope or other matters. All other audit services not otherwise included in the annual audit services engagement must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
