NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1)
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Secure Alliance Holdings Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation which, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, developed, manufactured, sold and supported automated teller machines (“ATMs”) and electronic cash security systems, consisting of the Timed Access Cash Controller (“TACC”) products and the Sentinel products (together, the “Cash Security” products), which were designed for the management of cash within various specialty retail markets, primarily in the United States.

We completed the sale of our ATM business on January 3, 2006 and the sale of our Cash Security business on October 2, 2006 as described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. On October 2, 2006, we became a shell public company and have had substantially no operations since that time. It is the present intention of the Company to review its financial position and consider all available alternatives including without limitation the acquisition of a new business or alternatively, the possible dissolution of the Company and liquidation of its assets, the discharge of any remaining liabilities, and the eventual distribution of the remaining assets to shareholders. As management currently does not expect to liquidate the Company, we have classified the Company as a development stage company.

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming we continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of the assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of March 31, 2007, the statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Although management believes the unaudited interim disclosures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any quarterly period or for the entire year ending September 30, 2007. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

Securities held-to-maturity and securities available-for-sale

Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Securities are designated as held to maturity only if the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with the resulting unrealized gains or losses recorded in equity, net of tax. Premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted using the interest method over the estimated remaining term of the underlying security.

Discontinued Operations

Sale of ATM Business

On February 19, 2005, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Secure Alliance, L.P., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with NCR EasyPoint, a wholly owned subsidiary of NCR Corporation, for the sale of our ATM business.

On December 28, 2005, the holders of 62.2% of our shares of outstanding common stock approved the NCR Asset Purchase Agreement.

On January 3, 2006, we completed the ATM business sale. The total purchase price was approximately $10.4 million of which $8.2 million was paid to Laurus into a collateral account to be held by Laurus as collateral for the satisfaction of all monetary obligations payable to Laurus, $0.5 million was paid into an escrow account pending a post closing net asset value adjustment, and the remaining $1.7 million was paid to the Company to be used for necessary working capital. This transaction resulted in a book gain of approximately $3.5 million.


An analysis of the discontinued operations of the ATM business is as follows:

Sale of Cash Security Business and Related Agreements with Laurus

On September 25, 2006, the holders of a majority of shares of our outstanding common stock approved the sale of our electronic cash security business, consisting of (a) timed access cash controllers, (b) the Sentinel products, (c) the servicing, maintenance and repair of the timed access cash controllers or Sentinel products and (d) all other assets and business operations associated with the foregoing (the “Cash Security Business Sale”) to Sentinel Operating, L.P., a purchaser led by a management buyout team that included our former director and Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mark K. Levenick, and our former director, Raymond P. Landry. The Cash Security Asset Purchase Agreement provided for a cash purchase price of $15,500,000, less $100,000 as consideration for the Buyer assuming certain potential liability in connection with ongoing litigation, and less a working capital deficit adjustment of $1,629,968, resulting in a net purchase price of $13,770,032. In addition, Sentinel Operating L.P. paid a cash adjustment of $2,458,718 to the Company at closing. The Cash Security Business Sale was completed on October 2, 2006. In October 2006, we recorded a gain on the sale of the Cash Security business of $13,281,116, which is net of taxes of $271,340.

Pursuant to the Agreement Regarding the NCR Transaction and Other Asset Sales, dated November 26, 2004 (the “Asset Sales Agreement”), by and between the Company and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”), the Company agreed to pay to Laurus a portion of the excess net proceeds from the ATM business sale and the Cash Security Business Sale.

On June 9, 2006, we and Laurus entered into the Laurus Termination Agreement which, among other things, provided for the payment of a sale fee of $8,508,963 to Laurus (the “Sale Fee”) in full satisfaction of all amounts payable to Laurus under the Asset Sales Agreement, including fees payable in respect of the ATM business sale and the Cash Security Business Sale. The Laurus Termination Agreement further provided that, upon payment of the Sale Fee and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Stock Redemption Agreement described below, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will have any further obligation to Laurus. Further, each of the Company and Laurus has granted each other and their respective affiliates and subsidiaries reciprocal releases from and against any claims and causes of action that may exist.
 
We and Laurus entered a Stock Redemption Agreement on January 12, 2006 and as subsequently amended. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Redemption Agreement: we agreed, among other things, (i) to repurchase from Laurus, upon the closing of the Cash Security Business Sale, all shares of our common stock held by Laurus, and (ii) Laurus agreed to the cancellation as of the closing date of the Cash Security Business Sale of warrants it holds to purchase 4,750,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.30 per share, and not to exercise such warrants prior to the earlier to occur of September 30, 2006 and the date on which the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated.

Following the Cash Security Business Sale, on October 2, 2006, the Company applied the net purchase price, the cash adjustment, and $5,400,000 in proceeds (together with accrued interest of $206,798.72) from the ATM business sale, to pay the following amounts to Laurus: (i) $8,508,963 pursuant to the terms of the Laurus Termination Agreement and (ii) $6,545,340 representing the purchase from Laurus by the Company of 19,251,000 shares of Company common stock pursuant to the terms of the Stock Redemption Agreement. Following both such payments to Laurus, the Company received $6,781,246 in net proceeds from the Cash Security Business Sale.

On October 2, 2006, following the foregoing payments to Laurus pursuant to the terms of the Laurus Termination Agreement and the Stock Redemption Agreement, no further fees remained payable by the Company to Laurus and, to our knowledge, Laurus does not own any shares of the Company.


We classified the Cash Security business as a discontinued operation for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006. We classified the Cash Security business as Assets Held for Sale as of September 30, 2006.

Accounting policies related to Discontinued Operations which are Classified as Assets Held for Sale and discontinued operations

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the standard cost method and includes materials, labor and production overhead which approximates an average cost method. Reserves are provided to adjust any slow moving materials or goods to net realizable values.


Warranties

Certain products were sold under warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one to two years. A provision for estimated warranty costs is included in accrued liabilities and is charged to operations at the time of sale.

Accounts Receivable

We had significant investments in billed receivables as of September 30, 2006. Billed receivables represent amounts billed upon the shipments of our products under our standard contract terms and conditions. Allowances for doubtful accounts and estimated non-recoverable costs primarily provide for losses that may be sustained on uncollectible receivables and claims. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, we evaluate our contract receivables and thoroughly review historical collection experience, the financial condition of our customers, billing disputes and other factors. When we ultimately conclude that a receivable is uncollectible, the balance is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized at the time products are shipped to customers. We have no continuing obligation to provide services or upgrades to our products, other than a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. We only recognize such revenues if there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the products have been delivered; there is a fixed or determinable sales price and a reasonable assurance of our ability to collect from the customer.

Our products contain imbedded software that is developed for inclusion within the equipment. We have not licensed, sold, leased or otherwise marketed such software separately. We have no continuing obligations after the delivery of our products and we do not enter into post-contract customer support arrangements related to any software embedded into our equipment.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs charged to expense were $0 and $229,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Cost

There were no Shipping and handling costs billed to customers during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and a total of $73,174 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. We incurred no shipping and handling costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and $77,478 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The net expense of $0 and $4,304 is included in selling expenses in the accompanying statement of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Earnings per share data for all periods presented have been computed pursuant to SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” that requires a presentation of basic earnings per share (basic EPS) and diluted earnings per share (diluted EPS). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is determined by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. As of March 31, 2007, we had outstanding options to purchase 1,900,000 shares, of which none were exercisable, and we had outstanding warrants to purchase 697,500 shares at exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.68 per share.

Excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were options to purchase 1,900,000 shares to purchase common stock at a weighted average price of $0.62 per share and warrants to purchase 697,500 shares at exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.68 as they would be anti-dilutive. Excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were options to purchase 1,900,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $0.62 per share and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.68, as they would be anti-dilutive. Include in the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended March 31, 2007 are 197,500 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40.

As of March 31, 2006, we had outstanding options covering an aggregate of 1,092,730 shares of common stock, of which 706,800 shares were exercisable. We also had outstanding warrants covering an aggregate of 5,890,000 shares of common stock. Included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are options to purchase 363,810 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $0.25 per share and excluded from the computation are options to purchase 728,920 shares of common stock as they would be anti-dilutive. Excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are warrants covering an aggregate of 5,890,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $.30 to $.40 as they would be anti-dilutive. Excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended March 31, 2006 are options to purchase 1,092,730 shares to purchase common stock with a weighted average price of $1.20 per share and outstanding warrants covering an aggregate of 5,890,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $.30 to $.40 as they would be anti-dilutive.

Marketable Securities Available- for- Sale

We owned 2,022,000 shares of the common stock of Cashbox plc pursuant to our exercise of the Share Warrant Agreement in September 2005. On or about March 27, 2006, shares of Cashbox plc began trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”). Prior to Cashbox plc going public, we considered their shares not marketable, thus the shares were carried at cost. Since the shares are now public and market value is readily available, we determined the market value of the shares as of June 30, 2006 and pursuant to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Investments in Equity and Debt Securities” we classified these shares as available for sale. Pursuant to the SFAS No. 115 the unrealized change in fair value during the three months and six months ended March 31, 2007 was excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as other comprehensive income.

At March 31, 2007, our common stock in Cashbox plc was recorded at a fair value of $748,140. Unrealized losses on these shares of common stock were added to shareholders’ equity and were $(311,508) and $(103,799) for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively.

As of March 31, 2007, we were restricted from selling any shares until the second anniversary of its admission to the Exchange unless we (i) consult with Cashbox’s primary broker prior to the disposal of any shares and (ii) effect the disposal of the shares through Cashbox’s primary broker from time to time and in such manner as such broker may require with a view to the maintenance of an orderly market in the shares of Cashbox.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), which amends SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation expense to be recognized for all share-based payments made to employees based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant, eliminating the intrinsic value alternative allowed by SFAS No. 123. Generally, the approach to determining fair value under the original pronouncement has not changed. However, there are revisions to the accounting guidelines established, such as accounting for forfeitures, that will change our accounting for stock-based awards in the future.

The statement allows companies to adopt its provisions using either of the following transition alternatives:


§
The modified prospective method, which results in the recognition of compensation expense using SFAS 123(R) for all share-based awards granted after the effective date and the recognition of compensation expense using SFAS 123 for all previously granted share-based awards that remain unvested at the effective date; or
 

§
The modified retrospective method, which results in applying the modified prospective method and restating prior periods by recognizing the financial statement impact of share-based payments in a manner consistent with the pro forma disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. The modified retrospective method may be applied to all prior periods presented or previously reported interim periods of the year of adoption.
 
We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on October 1, 2005, using the modified prospective method. This change in accounting has not materially impacted our financial position. We applied the fair-value criteria established by SFAS No. 123(R) to stock option grants which was a decrease to net income of approximately $10,210 for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2007.

We recognize expense related to stock options and other types of equity-based compensation and such cost must be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The requisite service period is usually the vesting period. The standard also requires us to estimate the number of instruments that will ultimately be issued, rather than accounting for forfeitures as they occur.

Employee Stock Option Plan

We adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan in 1997 (the “1997 Plan”) pursuant to which our Board of Directors may grant stock options to officers and key employees. The 1997 Plan, as amended, authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Options granted under the 1997 Plan vest over four-year periods and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Under the 1997 Plan, there were 648,150 options outstanding and 1,310,800 shares available for grant at September 30, 2006. During the six months ended March 31, 2007, 620,900 options were canceled, 27,250 options were exercised and 1,900,000 options were granted leaving 28,450 shares available for stock option grants as of March 31, 2007. The fair value of the 1,900,000 options granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $0.57 per share.

Status of Company

It is the present intention of the Company to review its financial position and consider all available alternatives including without limitation the acquisition of a new business or alternatively, the possible dissolution of the Company and liquidation of its assets, the discharge of any remaining liabilities, and the eventual distribution of the remaining assets to shareholders. Although management currently does not expect to liquidate the Company, if it later determines that liquidation is in the best interest of shareholders, such action will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock. If liquidation does occur there can be no assurances as to the amount of liquidation proceeds that might eventually be distributed to shareholders.
 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the discussion “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2006. The following information contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

General

On October 2, 2006 we completed the Cash Security Business Sale. The Cash Security Asset Purchase Agreement provided for a cash purchase price of $15,500,000, less $100,000 as consideration for the buyer, Sentinel Operating, L.P. assuming certain potential liability in connection with ongoing litigation and less a working capital deficit adjustment of $1,629,968, which resulted in a net purchase price of $13,770,032. In addition, Sentinel Operating, L.P. paid a cash adjustment of $2,458,718 to us at closing. We applied the net purchase price, the cash adjustment, and $5,400,000 in proceeds (together with accrued interest of $206,798.72) from the ATM business sale, to pay the following amounts to Laurus: (i) $8,508,963 pursuant to the terms of the Laurus Termination Agreement and (ii) $6,545,340 representing the purchase from Laurus by us of 19,251,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Stock Redemption Agreement. Following both such payments to Laurus, we received $6,781,245 in net proceeds from the Cash Security Business Sale.

At March 31, 2007, we had approximately $12.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit.

Results of Operations

Since October 2, 2006, we have had substantially no operations.

Operating Segments

We conducted business within one operating segment, principally in the United States.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 Compared with the Quarter Ended March 31, 2006

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 deceased by $0.4 million due to lower professional fees as a result of the sale of both the ATM business and the Cash Security business.

Depreciation and amortization for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 were $0 and $1,312, respectively. The decrease was due to the closure of the corporate office on March 31, 2006.

Interest expense was $0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared with $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease was the result of the repayment of all indebtedness due to Laurus on January 12, 2006.

Income tax expense (benefit). In assessing the realizability of deferred tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely than not, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. We had established a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets to the extent such amounts are not utilized to offset existing deferred tax liabilities reversing in the same periods.

We recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $0.1 million and $3.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to the Six Months Ended March 31, 2006

Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were $0.6 million compared with $2.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily related to lower professional fees as a result of the sale of both the ATM business and the Cash Security business.

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0 and $2,678, respectively. The decrease was due to the closure of the corporate office on March 31, 2006.

Interest expense was $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and $4.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The net interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2006 included three months of amortization related to debt discount and other deferred debt issuance costs in the amount of $985,827, and a one-time charge in January 2006 of approximately $3.1 million of debt discount and deferred debt issuance costs as a result of the early extinguishment of the Laurus debt.

Income tax expense (benefit). In assessing the realizability of deferred tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. We have established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets to the extent such amounts are not utilized to offset existing deferred tax liabilities reversing in the same periods.

We recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $(6.8) million and $(5.5) million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The significant change in net loss is primarily a result of the $6.5 million reorganization fee paid to Laurus partially offset by interest expense of $4.2 million recorded for the six months ended March 31, 2006

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Completion of the Cash Security Business Sale and Related Agreements with Laurus

On September 25, 2006, the holders of a majority of shares of our outstanding common stock approved Cash Security Business Sale. The Cash Security Asset Purchase Agreement provided for a cash purchase price of $15,500,000, less $100,000 as consideration for the Buyer assuming certain potential liability in connection with ongoing litigation, and less a working capital deficit adjustment of $1,629,968, resulting in a net purchase price of $13,770,032. In addition, the buyer, Sentinel Operating L.P., paid a cash adjustment of $2,458,718 to the Company at closing. The Cash Security Business Sale was completed on October 2, 2006. In October 2006, we recorded a gain on the sale of the Cash Security business of $13,281,116, which is net of taxes of $271,340.

We classified the Cash Security business as a discontinued operation for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006.

Pursuant to the Agreement Regarding the NCR Transaction and Other Asset Sales, dated November 26, 2004 (the “Asset Sales Agreement”), by and between the Company and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”), the Company agreed to pay to Laurus a portion of the excess net proceeds from the ATM business sale and the Cash Security Business Sale.

On June 9, 2006, we and Laurus entered into the Laurus Termination Agreement which, among other things, provided for the payment of a sale fee of $8,508,963 to Laurus (the “Sale Fee”) in full satisfaction of all amounts payable to Laurus under the Asset Sales Agreement, including fees payable in respect of the ATM business sale and the Cash Security Business Sale. The Laurus Termination Agreement further provided that, upon payment of the Sale Fee and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Stock Redemption Agreement described below, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will have any further obligation to Laurus. Further, each of the Company and Laurus has granted each other and their respective affiliates and subsidiaries reciprocal releases from and against any claims and causes of action that may exist.
 
We and Laurus entered a Stock Redemption Agreement on January 12, 2006 and as subsequently amended. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Redemption Agreement: (i) we agreed, among other things, to repurchase from Laurus, upon the closing of the Cash Security Business Sale, all shares of our common stock held by Laurus, and (ii) Laurus agreed to the cancellation as of the closing date of the Cash Security Business Sale of warrants it holds to purchase 4,750,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.30 per share, and not to exercise such warrants prior to the earlier to occur of September 30, 2006 and the date on which the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated.


Following the Cash Security Business Sale, on October 2, 2006, the Company applied the net purchase price, the cash adjustment, and $5,400,000 in proceeds (together with accrued interest of $206,798.72) from the ATM business sale, to pay the following amounts to Laurus: (i) $8,508,963 pursuant to the terms of the Laurus Termination Agreement and (ii) $6,545,340 representing the purchase from Laurus by the Company of 19,251,000 shares of Company common stock pursuant to the terms of the Stock Redemption Agreement. Following both such payments to Laurus, the Company received $6,781,246 in net proceeds from the Cash Security Business Sale.

On October 2, 2006, following the foregoing payments to Laurus pursuant to the terms of the Laurus Termination Agreement and the Stock Redemption Agreement, no further fees remained payable by the Company to Laurus and, to our knowledge, Laurus does not own any shares of the Company.

Griggs, our President and Chief Operating Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

On June 9, 2005, Corporate Safe Specialists, Inc. (“CSS”) filed a lawsuit against Secure Alliance Holdings Corporation and Secure Alliance, L.P. The lawsuit, Civil Action No. 02-C-3421, was filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “CSS Lawsuit”). CSS alleges that the Sentinel product sold by Secure Alliance, L.P. infringes on one or more patent claims found in CSS patent U.S. Patent No. 6,885,281 (the ‘281 patent). CSS seeks injunctive relief against future infringement, unspecified damages for past infringement and attorney’s fees and costs. Secure Alliance Holdings Corporation was released from this lawsuit, but Secure Alliance, L.P. remained a defendant.

As part of the Cash Security Business Sale, the buyer of the Cash Security business, Sentinel Operating, L.P., agreed to undertake and have the sole right to direct on behalf of itself and us, the defense of the CSS Lawsuit, with counsel of its choice, provided that in the event we incur any adverse consequences in connection with the CSS Lawsuit subsequent to the Cash Security Business Sale, then Sentinel Operating, L.P. will indemnify us from and against the entirety of any such adverse consequences to the extent they are incurred as a result of the breach of the Cash Security Asset Purchase Agreement or our negligent action or inaction.

On March 31, 2007, CSS, Secure Alliance Holdings Corporation, Secure Alliance, L.P. and our predecessor, Tidel Engineering, L.P., entered into a settlement and mutual release agreement whereby the parties jointly moved to dismiss all claims and counterclaims in the CSS Lawsuit. The parties agreed to pay no monetary settlement and each bear its own legal costs and expenses. Pursuant to the settlement, we and our predecessor agreed not to make, use, sell or offer for sale any safe that infringes upon the ‘281 patent during the period of time the ‘281 patent is valid; however, we and our predecessor may challenge, contest, or raise as a defense the validity of the ‘281 patent if CSS or any other party files a claim against us asserting infringement of the ‘281 patent.

On April 16, 2007, Fire King International, LLC (“Fire King”) filed a lawsuit against Corporate Safe Specialists, Inc., Tidel Technologies, Inc. and Tidel Engineering, LP. The lawsuit, Civil Action No. 03-07CV0655-G, was filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Fire King alleges that the Sentinel product previously sold by the Company’s predecessor infringes on one or more patent claims found in Fire King patent U.S. Patent No. 7,063,252 (the ‘252 patent). Fire King seeks injunctive relief against future infringement, unspecified damages for past infringement and attorney’s fees and costs. Secure Alliance Holdings Corporation believes that this suit is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are several risks inherent in our business including, but not limited to, the following:

Following the Cash Security Business Sale, we have no operations.

Following the consummation of the ATM business sale on January 3, 2006 and the closing of the Cash Security Business Sale on October 2, 2006, we have substantially no operations and no employees resulting in a development stage operation.

We have limited management and other resources.

Our ability to manage any future operations effectively will require us to hire new employees, to integrate new management and employees into any future operations, financial and management systems, controls and facilities. Our failure to handle the issues we face effectively, including any failure to integrate new management controls, systems and procedures, could materially adversely affect our company, results of operations and financial condition.
