NETTIME SOLUTIONS, INC.

INFORMATION STATEMENT

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT (I.E., THE APPROVAL OF THE ASSET SALE AND THE AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION) HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY A MAJORITY OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS. A VOTE OF THE REMAINING SHAREHOLDERS IS NOT NECESSARY.

This Information Statement is being mailed or furnished to the shareholders of record of NETtime Solutions, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) as of September 15, 2007 (the “Record Date”) to advise them that the Board of Directors and a majority of the shareholders of the Company have approved the sale (the “Asset Sale”) of substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NETtime Solutions, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and NetEdge Devices, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, to NETtime Solutions, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“NETtime Solutions”), pursuant to the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of September 24, 2007 (the “Memorandum of Understanding”).  Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, certain insiders of the Company, including all of the members of the Company’s board of directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer, along with certain other shareholders of the Company, who will be collectively referred to as  the “Contributors,” intend to form NETtime Solutions for the purpose of consummating the Asset Sale.  The Contributors intend to contribute the issued and outstanding shares of the Company that they collectively hold to NETtime Solutions pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company operating agreement governing NETtime Solutions.  Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Memorandum of Understanding, NETtime Solutions and the Company will consummate the Asset Sale.

The terms of the Asset Sale are set forth in the form of Asset Purchase Agreement, to be entered into by and among the Company, its subsidiaries and NETtime Solutions.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company, and not the stockholders of the Company, will receive all of the proceeds of the Asset Sale.  Shareholders owning, as of the Record Date, at least 9,830,518 shares of the common stock, representing approximately 64% of the outstanding voting power as of the Record Date, have executed written consents approving the Asset Sale (the “Approving Shareholders”). The Company plans to mail this Information Statement on or about October          , 2007, to stockholders as of the Record Date.

A copy of the form of Asset Purchase Agreement is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit A.  The Asset Purchase Agreement requires that the Company change its name from “NETtime Solutions, Inc.” to “Tempco, Inc.” as part of this transaction (the “Amendment”).  A copy of the form of Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit B.  The Board of Directors of the Company and the Approving Shareholders have similarly approved the Amendment.

Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Asset Sale and the Amendment may not be effected until at least 20 calendar days after this Information Statement is sent or given to our shareholders. We anticipate that the Asset Sale will be implemented promptly following the 20th day after this Information Statement is first sent to our shareholders. We will pay all costs associated with the preparation and distribution of this Information Statement, including all mailing and printing expenses.

This Information Statement is dated October          , 2007

 



 

This Information Statement is being furnished to you solely for the purpose of informing you and the other shareholders of the matter described below in compliance with Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

VOTE REQUIRED

As discussed in further detail below, the Asset Sale and the Amendment require the approval of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding votes on the Record Date.  As of the Record Date, the common stock was our only class of outstanding voting securities. The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share.

MEETING NOT REQUIRED

As discussed in further detail below, Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“Nevada Law”) provides that, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, actions required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by shareholders holding not less than a majority of the voting power of the company. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors decided to obtain, and did in fact obtain on the Record Date, the written consent of shareholders holding at least 9,830,518 shares of our common stock, which number of shares represents approximately 64% of the 15,382,404 shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date and is more than the requisite number of votes that is necessary to authorize or take such action.

DISSENTERS RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL

There are no dissenter’s rights of appraisal applicable to this action to approve the Asset Sale or the Amendment.

THE TERMS OF THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

SUMMARY

The bulleted summary that follows highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this Information Statement. It may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To fully understand the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, and for a more complete description of the Asset Sale and related matters, you should carefully read this Information Statement (including the form of Asset Purchase Agreement included as Exhibit A) in its entirety.

              NETtime Solutions, Inc., through its subsidiaries, develops and markets a line of time and labor management software products.

 

              NETtime Solutions, LLC, is an Arizona limited liability company formed for the purposes of consummating the Asset Sale.  The members of NETtime Solutions include certain of the Company’s officers, directors and shareholders.

 

              Following the expiration of the 20-day period described in this Information Statement, NETtime Solutions, Inc. and NETtime Solutions, LLC intend to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement, which provides that NETtime Solutions, LLC will purchase all of our assets, and the assets of our two operating subsidiaries, NETtime Solutions, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and NetEdge Devices, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, for $1,042,000 and the assumption of all of NETtime Solutions, Inc.’s indebtedness, which includes $550,000 of trade payables and $1,500,000 of short and long-term notes

(the “Indebtedness”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company, and not the stockholders, will receive all of the proceeds of the Asset Sale.

 

              The assets to be acquired include our software source code, infrastructure, related inventory, customers, and the use of the name “NETtime Solutions, Inc.”

 

              The purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement will be payable as follows:

 

                  An aggregate of 6,478,693 shares of NETtime Solutions, Inc. held by NETtime Solutions, LLC, as contributed by its members, will be redeemed by the Company in partial payment of the purchase price; and

 

                  A unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 will be issued by NETtime Solutions, LLC in favor of the Company in payment of the remainder of the purchase price.

 

              The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that each party’s obligation to close is contingent upon obtaining approval of the Company’s shareholders of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

              NETtime Solution’s obligation to close under the Asset Purchase Agreement is further conditioned on, among other customary closing conditions: (i) the resignation of those of our officers and directors who will be members in NETtime Solutions, and the appointment of their successors, and (ii) obtaining all necessary third party consents and approvals.

 

              NETtime Solution’s obligation to close under the Asset Purchase Agreement is further conditioned upon, among other customary closing conditions, having obtained a fairness opinion from Source Capital Group.

 

              Consummation of the Asset Sale remains subject to certain additional requirements, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under Regulation 14C of the Exchange Act.

part, by NETtime Solutions, LLC to pay the purchase price for the acquired assets under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

NETtime Solutions, LLC

The members of NETtime Solutions, LLC will consist of all members of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and certain of the Company’s shareholders.  NETtime Solutions, LLC was formed for the sole purpose of consummating the Asset Sale.  Upon obtaining the requisite approval by the Company’s shareholders for the Asset Sale, these individuals anticipate contributing to NETtime Solutions the 6,478,693 shares of common stock of the Company that they currently hold in the aggregate, as capital contributions to NETtime Solutions.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company will redeem these contributed shares in partial payment of the purchase price. NETtime Solutions will issue an unsecured promissory note in payment of the remainder of the purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The promissory note will have a term of three years, bear interest at an annual percentage rate of 9% and will be payable in full on the maturity date of the note.  In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale, the members of NETtime Solutions who are currently directors and officers of the Company will resign their respective positions with the Company.

PAST CONTACTS AND NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THIRD PARTIES

The Company has had a three year relationship with a third-party payroll company.  In early 2007, the Company approached such company to discuss the possibility of acquiring the Company.  Since the third-party payroll company acquired the time and attendance business of another larger payroll company, such negotiations ceased.

 

In 2007, the Company began discussions with a third party with whom the Company had a strong partner relationship.  The Company currently offers time and attendance solutions to such third party’s customers.  These discussions never materialized.

 

In January and June 2007, the Company discussed with another third party the possibility of an acquisition.  Such discussions did not materialize.

 

REASONS FOR THE ASSET SALE

Through March 31, 2007, we have continued to experience recurring losses from our operations.  Due to our financial condition and the inability to continue ongoing operations with current cash flow, along with our debt obligations, our Board of Directors and management have determined the sale to be in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the Company sought a fairness opinion from a independent third party declaring the proposed transaction fair from a financial point of view to our stockholders. The transaction will result in the sale of substantially all of our assets to the newly formed NETtime Solutions, LLC, but maintain the corporate existence for some time to allow for the new Board of Directors, should it choose so, to seek to find a private operating company with which to combine.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in its efforts to find a viable private operating company with which to combine or that any such operating company it does combine with will be profitable.

 

Management believes that for the Company to achieve sustainable profitability, the Company will need to reduce fees associated with being a public entity, such as accounting fees, legal fees, the cost of director and officer insurance and future Sarbanes-Oxley compliance expenses.

To date, the Company has sustained recurring losses from operations through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 totaling approximately $9,000,000 and in the past 22 fiscal quarters has only reported net income two times.  During fiscal 2007, we have been able to meet our working capital requirements with our current cash reserves, cash generated from operations, our borrowing capacity under our two credit facilities, and by using the proceeds from the January 2007 sale of our reseller channel and certain other related assets to Synel Industries, Ltd., an Israeli registered corporation.  Due to our financial condition, along with other factors, including our inability to raise additional debt or equity capital on terms we feel commercially reasonable, our Board of Directors, upon the receipt of a fairness opinion from our financial advisor declaring the proposed transaction fair from a financial point of view to our stockholders, deemed it advisable and in the best interests of our stockholders to sell substantially all of our assets in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and to consummate the Asset Sale.  The Asset Sale would permit us to retain a sufficient amount of cash ($40,000) to maintain our corporate existence for some period of time to allow the successor Board to seek to find an appropriate private operating company with which to combine or to distribute a substantial portion of the remaining proceeds to our shareholders, as it deems advisable.  Accordingly, we have determined that the Asset Sale is prudent at this time and in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.

ASSETS SUBJECT TO THE SALE; PURCHASE PRICE

The assets to be acquired by NETtime Solutions under the Asset Purchase Agreement consist of substantially all of our assets, and substantially all the assets our two operating subsidiaries, NETtime Solutions, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and NetEdge Devices, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company.  The acquired assets include, without limitation, all intellectual property, all fixed and personal property, all rights under our assignable contracts, all of our infrastructure, which includes operations equipment, all inventory, and all of our customer contracts.  The aggregate purchase price for the acquired assets is $1,042,000,000, which will be paid at closing in the following manner:  (a) the Company will redeem from NETtime Solutions, LLC an aggregate of 6,478,693 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares will have been contributed by its members, including certain of our current officers, directors and shareholders; and (b) NETtime Solutions will issue a unsecured promissory note in favor of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 in payment of the remainder of the purchase price.  The purchase price also includes the assumption of the Indebtedness.

CovenantsThe Company is bound by various covenants in the Asset Purchase Agreement, including, among others, the following:

              We covenant not to enter into, modify, amend or terminate any material contract, or waive, release or assign any material rights or claims, not to incur any material liability or material indebtedness, and not to dispose of all or any of the acquired assets, or otherwise permit the acquired assets to become subject to any encumbrances, except as may otherwise be permitted;

 

              We covenant to cooperate with NETtime Solutions in securing third-party consent, if applicable, for any contract or agreement relating to the acquired assets that requires such consent;

 

              We covenant to deliver the resignations of the directors and officers of the Company who will become members of NETtime Solutions;

 

              We covenant not to solicit an alternative offer for the sale of the acquired assets.

Closing ConditionsThe Company’s and NETtime Solutions’ obligations to consummate the Asset Sale are subject to the following conditions:

              Both parties’ obligations are conditioned upon obtaining approval of the Company’s shareholders of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

              Among other customary closing conditions, NETtime Solutions’s obligations to consummate the Asset Sale are further conditioned upon the receipt of all required third-party consents and approvals to the Asset Sale, and receipt of the resignations of the directors and officers who will be a party to the Contribution Agreement.

 

              Among other customary closing conditions, the Company’s obligations to consummate the Asset Sale are further conditioned upon the receipt of the fairness opinion from Source Capital Group, the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the Asset Sale.

Closing.  The closing of the Asset Sale is anticipated to occur in October 2007 immediately following the expiration of the 20-day period described in this Information Statement.

Termination.  The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated as follows:

              By mutual agreement of the Company and NETtime Solutions;

 

              By either party if the closing conditions of such party are not met by October 31, 2007, or if the other party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant, and failed to timely cure such breach; or

 

              By either the Company or NETtime Solutions if the Asset Sale has not been completed by October 31, 2007.

Indemnification.  The Company will indemnify NETtime Solutions for any liabilities associated with a breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants, any losses

 

5



 

attributable to liabilities that NETtime Solutions has not assumed under the Asset Purchase Agreement, and any loss incurred as the result of the failure to obtain a required third-party consent to the assignment of any material contract to NETtime Solutions.

Fees and Expenses.  The Company will pay all fees and expenses (including all fees of counsel, actuaries, and accountants) incurred by any party in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale.  The Asset Sale will be treated as a taxable transaction for federal and state tax purposes.

Accounting Treatment.  Upon the completion of the Asset Sale, the assets and liabilities of the acquired assets will be removed from our consolidated balance sheet.

USE OF PROCEEDS; OUR BUSINESS AFTER THE ASSET SALE

The Company, and not our stockholders, will receive all of the net proceeds from the Asset Sale. We anticipate using the net proceeds from the Asset Sale in one or more of the following ways:

              As working capital for our remaining operations (i.e., once we receive payment on the $200,000 note);

 

              To explore potential opportunities for combining with a private operating company; or

 

              The potential distribution of cash to our stockholders.

After completion of the Asset Sale, we will continue to operate as a public company, but we will have no existing operations. Our common stock will continue to be quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board under the symbol NTMS.OB.  We have not yet made any definitive determination about our future business plans once the Asset Sale is consummated.  Immediately following the consummation of the Asset Sale, we will have no operating business or source of revenues, other than the secured note receivable from NETtime Solutions.  The Company’s directors will evaluate several possible options, including a possible transaction in which we sell or merge our “public” shell company to or with a private operating business whereby our stockholders would retain some ownership interest in the surviving public corporation. We anticipate that certain general and administrative expenses will be incurred until a transaction is completed, if ever. It is expected that these expenses will be directly related to the maintenance of the corporate structure, audit and tax filings and other ongoing required public filings.  To date, we have not entered into any agreements with any parties to complete such a transaction, and, should the Company’s future board of directors determine to pursue such a transaction, there is no assurance that we will be able to find a potential suitor on terms favorable to us, if at all.

FAIRNESS OPINION

Our Board of Directors retained Source Capital Group (“Source Capital”), financial advisor and investment banking firm, as its independent financial advisor with respect to the Asset Sale and the Asset Purchase Agreement and to render an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view to the holders of our common stock, of the purchase price to be received by the Company.  In selecting Source Capital, the Board of Directors considered, among other things, the fact that Source Capital is a regionally recognized investment banking firm and is familiar with the Company and the market in which it operates.  In addition, the financial advisor is an experienced security analyst, providing analysis and research, valuation and investment opinions. The financial advisor holds NASD licenses 86 and 87

reserved for research analysts.  As described herein, Source Capital’s opinion, dated September 14, 2007, was one of various conditions and factors taken into consideration by the Board of Directors in making its determination to approve and ratify the Asset Sale and the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Company did not have any material relationship with Source Capital during the two-year period preceding the date of this Information Statement and is not contemplating any relationship with Source Capital beyond the engagement described herein.

Source Capital’s professional fee was paid by the Company.  Source Capital’s professional fee was not contingent upon its conclusions reached in its fairness analysis and/or the consummation of the proposed Asset Sale.

Source Capital’s opinion with respect to the Asset Sale is that, as of the date of such opinion letter, based on the assumptions made therein, matters considered and limits of review undertaken by Source Capital, the purchase price to be received by the Company was fair, from a financial point of view to the holders of our common stock.  Upon receipt of the fairness opinion, our Board approved the Sale and the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The full text of Source Capital’s written opinion, dated September 14, 2007, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on review undertaken, is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit C.  Source Capital’s opinion is directed to the Principal Accounting Officer of the Company and addresses the fairness of the consideration to be received by the Company from a financial point of view to the holders of our common stock.  Source Capital’s opinion does not address the underlying decision of the Company to engage in the transaction.  The discussion of the Source Capital opinion set forth in this Information Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.  Source Capital’s fairness opinion does not address any other aspects or implications of the proposed Asset Sale and does not constitute a recommendation to the Company’s stockholders as to how such stockholders should vote or act on any matters relating to the proposed Asset Sale.

In connection with its opinion, Source Capital reviewed certain publicly available financial information and other information concerning the Company and certain internal analyses and other information furnished to it by the Company.  Source Capital also considered the business and prospects of the Company.  Source Capital did not independently verify any of the information described above and for purposes of its opinion assumed the accuracy, completeness and fairness of all such information.  With respect to any financial information furnished by or discussed with the Company, Source Capital assumed that such information was prepared on the basis of reasonable assumptions and reflected the best currently available judgments and estimates of the management of the Company as to the likely future financial performance of the Company. Source Capital’s opinion is based on market, economic and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated as of the date of such opinion.

We note that Jeff Silverman is a shareholder and broker at Source Capital and is the son of Anthony Silverman.  Anthony Silverman is a major shareholder of the Company and is expect to have an ongoing role in the Company following the closing of the transactions described in this Information Statement.

REGULATORY APPROVAL

No United States federal or state regulatory requirements must be complied with or approvals obtained as a condition of the proposed Asset Sale other than the federal securities laws.  We must file the

 

7



 

Amendment with, and have it accepted by, the Nevada Secretary of State to amend our articles of incorporation.

VOTE REQUIRED

On August 31, 2007, the Board of Directors, in reliance on Sections 78.140 and 78.315 of the Nevada Law, and the fairness opinion issued by Source Capital, approved the Asset Sale in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and declared it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  Pursuant to Section 78.565 of the Nevada Law, the Asset Sale required the approval of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding votes.  As of the Record Date, the common stock was our only class of outstanding voting securities. The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share.  On September 15, 2007, pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Law the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the common stock of the Company as of the Record Date approved by written consent the proposed Asset Sale in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.  Therefore, all required corporate action to approve the Asset Sale and the Asset Purchase Agreement has been taken.

AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

Because all intellectual property used by the Company in connection with the time and attendance software business, as well as rights to the name “NETtime Solutions, Inc.” are being sold to NETtime Solutions, LLC, we intend to amend our articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Amendment”), pursuant to Section 78.390 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, to change our name to “Tempco Inc.”  To become effective, the Amendment must be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and designated as effective by the Board of Directors.  A copy of the Amendment to be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State is set forth in Exhibit B.  We intend to implement the Amendment as soon as reasonably practicable following the 20th day following the mailing of this Information Statement to our shareholders.

Our ticker (trading) symbol, which is currently “NTMS.OB,” and the CUSIP number of our common stock will both change as a result of the name change.  After the name change, shareholders will be permitted to, but need not, exchange their certificates to reflect the change in corporate name.  However, the existing certificates will continue to represent shares of our common stock.  Our transfer agent will issue stock certificates with the new company name as stock certificates are sent in upon transfers of shares by existing shareholders. The transfer agent for the common stock is:

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, telephone number (800) 937-5449 or (718) 921-8124.  Postal address is 59 Maiden Lane, Plaza Level, New York, NY 10038, and overnight address is Operations Center, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.

On August 31, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution setting forth the proposed terms of the Amendment and declared it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  On September 15, the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of our common stock of the Company approved the proposed Amendment in accordance with Section 78.390 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.  Therefore, all required corporate action to approve the Amendment has been taken.

5.10         Cooperation on Tax Matters.   NETtime and NETtime Solutions shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  NETtime Solutions and NETtime agree (a) to retain all books and records which are relevant to the determination of the Tax liabilities pertinent to the Assets until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (b) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, NETtime Solutions or NETtime, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

Mr.Tom Klitzke,CPA

Principal Accounting Officer

NETtime Solutions, Inc.

8840 E. Chaparral Road, Suite 100

Scottsdale, AZ 85250

Dear Mr. Klitzke:

You have requested that Source Capital Group, Inc. (“Source”) provide you with its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid by certain shareholders of NETtime Solutions, Inc. (“Old NETtime”) for the assets, liabilities and ongoing business of the continuing business (“New NETtime”), leaving Old NETtime as a public trading shell (NTMS:OTCBB) with no current business activities but retaining the income tax net loss carry-forward.

Per communication with you, our understanding of the agreement is that certain current shareholders will tender to NETtime Solutions, Inc. 6,476,293 shares of common stock of NTMS, with a current value of $842,000 and execute a note payable in the amount of $200,000 for a total consideration of $ 1,042,000 to purchase the ongoing business, assets and liabilities of New NETtime.

In arriving at the opinion set forth below, Source has completed the following tasks:

1  Reviewed the operating statements of NETtime Solutions, Inc. and its predecessor company Time America, Inc. for the years 2005 and 2006 and nine months ended March 31,2007 as well as the balance sheet for March 31, 2007. We have also reviewed the projected operating statements for New NETtime for the period March 2007 through February 2010 as prepared by management.

2  Reviewed certain information and business description of NETtime as presented on the NETtime Solutions, Inc Web site.

3  Compared the price to earnings multiples of certain public companies in the time and attendance and temporary personnel businesses which we deemed relevant with the multiple of earnings agreed upon in the New NETtime sale.

4  Performed such other analyses and reviewed and analyzed such other information as Source deemed appropriate.

In rendering this opinion, Source did not assume responsibility for independently verifying, and did not independently verify any financial or other information concerning NETtime or the publicly available information regarding other companies.

Source has assumed that all such financial and other information is accurate and complete. Source has further relied on the assurances of Old NETtime management mat they are not aware of any facts that would make such financial or other information inaccurate, incomplete or  



 

misleading. With respect to forecasts and financial projections of New NETtime provided by management, Source has assumed, for the purpose of this opinion, that the forecasts have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best available estimates and judgments of management at the time of their preparation as to the future performance of New NETtime.

Source, as a part of this assignment, has prepared its own appraisal of the continuing business of New NETtime, a copy of which is attached. This appraisal is an integral part of this opinion. Our opinion is based upon regulatory, economic, market and monetary conditions existing on the date hereof.

This opinion has been prepared as information for you and Board of Directors of NETtime Solutions, Inc. in connection with the sale of New NETtime and shall not be reproduced, summarized, described or referred to or provided to any other persons or otherwise made public without the prior consent of Source.

On the basis of, and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the consideration to be paid by the existing shareholders of Old NETtime, from a financial point of view, for the purchase of the business and assets of New NETtime is not substantially less than fair market value or a purchase price that might have been obtained in a sale to a non-affiliated party.

The attached appraisal and multiple comparison and comments are an integral part of this opinion.

Disclosures: Source is a member of NASD and as such must provide the following disclosures under NASD procedural Rule 2290.

                Source has not acted as a financial adviser with respect to the transaction for which the opinion is sought.

                Source’s compensation for this opinion is not contingent on successful completion of the underlying transaction.

                Source has not had, during the past two years, a material relationship with the companies involved in the transaction for which it has received compensation.

                Source does not have a fairness committee for the purpose of review of this opinion under the procedural rules established under NASD Rule 2290.

Yours very truly,

Joe Blankenship

Vice President Research

September 14, 2007

 

Mr.Tom KIitzke, CPA

Principal Accounting Officer

NETtime Solutions, Inc.

8840 E. Chaparral Road

Suite 100

Scottsdale, AZ 85250

Dear Mr.Klitzke:

RE: Valuation of the ongoing business of NETtime Solutions

I have examined the business history of what was Time America, Inc., the recent sale of certain parts of the business and examined the prospects of the continuing operation known as NETtime Solutions. You have asked for a valuation of the ongoing business of NETtime Solutions for the purpose of separating that business from the public entity NETtime Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:NTMS). In conducting this valuation I have examined and relied upon estimates of operating results of the continuing business as supplied by the management of NETtime Solutions.

In deriving an opinion of the current estimated value of the business I have applied valuation techniques normally applied in the industry for purchase or sale of a business or valuation of purchase of shares of a public company. The principal techniques used in this valuation were: (1) Discounted cash flow to estimate net present value and (2) Comparable valuation of public companies in die same or similar businesses.

Using a combination of these techniques I have derived an estimated current value of NETtime Solutions of approximately $1,000,000. This value is based on the net present value calculation of cash flow estimates and considers values determined through a comparison of public company market values using a multiple of market value to revenue. The two techniques and values derived are shown on the pages that follow.

NET PRESENT VALUE

Management has prepared estimates of operations for the period March of 2007 through February of 2010. I extended the monthly value for February of 2010 through June of 2010 to establish three full 12-month periods for calculations purposes. The three-year annual summary of these projections is shown on Exhibit A. For cash flow purposes, I have applied corporate federal income taxes at 35% for years after a tax loss carry forward would expire.

Exhibit B shows the net present values of two cash flow streams. The first, using a 25% discount rate is the leveled cash flows from operations and a terminal value after year ten. The terminal value is approximately five times the net income after taxes. The first estimated value derived is $852,120. The second calculation is the NPV of a 2010 price target using market multiples and discounted at 50%. The higher discount rate is reflective of added market uncertainties, while the first discount rate at 25% is lower because results are more directly determined by



 

management actions. The multiples applied to 2010 operating estimates are determined from our public company comps and are 2.0x revenue and 15x earnings to establish a 2010 price target of $8,400,000. Discounted at 50%, the NPV is $1,083*220. The average of these two calculations established an estimated value of $968,000.

MARKET VALUE COMPARABLES

Market comparabies are best used when the companies are in a similar business and are of similar size. In our search we found only one public company that we could consider a similar business, Workstream, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTM) which itself does not make a good comp. This company, like NETtime Solutions is losing money, so an earnings multiple is not relevant. The next best metric after price/earnings is market cap to revenue. This metric is illustrative of the market’s valuation of prospects based on revenue generation. Our mature company average of price to sales is 0.80x. To use this metric we developed a trailing twelve months revenue for NETtime, using the estimated revenue for the three month period ending June 30, 2007, annualized. $326k x 4 qtrs x 0.8 gives us the $1,042 million valuation at the upper end of our range.

The average of $968,000 and $1,042 million from the two methods gives our estimated value of $1,000,000 million.

Exhibit C offers a list of companies in somewhat similar businesses; employee rental and temporary staffing that provide many of the functions that are provided by NETtime solutions. While these are not directly comparable, they provide a guideline to values that might be considered in the purchase or sale of a business of this nature.

Kronos Taken Private

In March of 2007, Kronos Corporation, the company we would have considered most similar to Time America was purchased by a private equity firm. The valuation for this transaction was as follows:

Price per share $55.00 cash.

TTM EPS multiple was approx 55 times.

TTM revenue multiple was 2.75 times.

Book value multiple was 4.26 times.

Total transaction value was $1.77 billion.

Sincerely,
