Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation




Certain
information contained in this Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements that
reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Certain factors, such as unanticipated technological difficulties,
changes in domestic and foreign economic, market and regulatory conditions, the
inherent uncertainty of financial estimates and projections, instabilities
arising from terrorist actions and responses thereto, and other considerations
described in this report could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update the
matters discussed in this report.




The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements
and the related notes included in this Form 10-Q.




Operations




Our
business consists of providing business consulting services to our customers.
Our services began a transformation in 2005 from a pure technology focus to a
business consulting focus which can encompass technology impact and
effort.  Our consulting team provides deep business knowledge which
helps our customers drive key initiatives forward.  Much of our
expertise is focused on core areas of business processes used throughout the
corporate world including: project management, business analysis, business
consulting, and strategic consulting.  Typical initiatives in which we
provide expertise include compliance and regulatory, merger and acquisition, and
business process reengineering efforts.  With technology being such an
integral part of business, many of our consultants possess solid knowledge and
experience that encompasses technology and are typically well versed in the IT
business-solution software development life cycle.  The IT
business-solution software development life cycle refers to industry standard
steps typically followed in developing or creating software (the blueprint
methodology), including phases for planning, developing, implementing, and
managing the solution.





A
typical customer is an organization with complex business processes, large
amounts of data to manage, and changing business requirements.  We
promote our services through our two delivery channels, Business Consulting and
Business Solution divisions.  These divisions operate as one from an
accounting and overall management perspective; however they are differentiated
from a marketing and customer presentation perspective
only.  Management reviews and oversees the divisions as one combined
entity, utilizes resources across both areas, and makes operational assessments
and plans together.  In light of this, Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131
“Business segments” does not require separate financial reporting and the two
channels are consolidated in all financial report presentations.




Business Consulting Division.
This division provides consulting expertise across a broad range of knowledge,
skills and expertise. We recruit, retain, manage, and provide to our clients
skilled business and technical expertise to help lead and train our customers or
supplement their knowledge requirements. In these engagements we typically bill
our customers on a time-and-

materials
basis for all work performed. Because of the expertise involved and the
complexity of a typical initiative, customers seeking such services from us
typically commit to long-term engagements that are usually a minimum of 9 months
in which our consultants work on site at customer facilities under the daily
direction of the customer management.  It is very common that we
obtain contract extensions with our customers for our consulting
resources.





Business Solutions Division.
This division handles advanced technologies and solutions and provides expertise
in project management, architecture, and project methodology. Its focus is to
service customers on a project or deliverable basis. The work can be performed
at customer facilities or at our facilities. With this type of work the customer
typically enters into a contract with us for a fixed price bid that provides for
delivery of a given service or delivery at a stated time. Services provided by
this group include helping customers assess their business needs and identifying
the right technology solution, helping customers select and implement packaged
software, designing, constructing, and testing new systems and integrating them
with the customer’s existing technology.  Our core expertise is in
creating customized applications or systems that are web enabled and transaction
based systems.  Typically the technology is based in the Object
Oriented architecture.  Because applications are customized
specifically for individual customers (research and development is not a part of
our process), we architect a system to meet a specific business
need.  In a Solution based contract, we typically have complete
control and accountability over the effort and delivery from a day to day
perspective by picking resources, managing and directing them.




Summary




Our focus
is to provide subject matter expertise through our consulting team in a variety
of ways that continue to help our clients navigate the changing business climate
they must deal with.   Our approach is built 100% around our
people - it is about knowledge, expertise and execution.   We
have a focus on building our knowledge practices with talent in core areas we
feel offer opportunity: compliance/regulatory, merger and acquisition, and
business process reengineering/analysis.  Our recruiting and sales
organization work with customers closely - a consultative approach - to
understand the business direction, initiatives or issues they are dealing
with.  It is our focus to then provide subject matter experts that can
bring the expertise and knowledge to the client to allow for successful
efforts.  If, as we expect, we continue to grow and attract
specialized expertise in our focused areas of discipline, we will continue to be
recognized as a value add partner for existing customers, add new customers, and
will identify opportunities to provide additional value add services to our
customers.





Our
typical customers are Fortune 500 companies (including AIG, Lincoln Financial
Group, Duke Power, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo), and they continually seek
expertise and knowledge in areas such as project management, business
consulting, and business analysis.

revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $1,717,000
or 71.7% of revenue for the same period in 2008. For the 2009 year-to-date
period costs were 73.2% of revenue and for the 2008 year-to-date period, costs
were 72.3% of revenue.




General
and administrative (G&A) expenses were $511,000 or 23.9% of revenue for the
three months ended in September 30, 2009, as compared to $560,000 or 23.4% for
the same period in 2008. For the 2009 year-to-date period, it was 23.5% as
compared to 26.1% for the 2008 year-to-date period.  Most of the key
G&A expense items including rent, professional services (legal, accounting,
consulting), telecommunication, business insurance, benefits, and travel
were  managed effectively and increases were offset by decreases in
these categories.




Operating
income for the three months ended in September 30, 2009, was $84,000 as compared
to income of $118,000 for the same period in 2008.  For 2008, the
Operating income included a non cash charge of $50,700 for stock option grants,
detailed in Part II item 5 below.  For 2009 a non cash charge of
$25,500 for a grant of stock was issued to Equity Source Partners for strategic
business consulting services.  For the 2009 year-to-date period, the
operating income was $215,000 compared to income of $109,000 for the 2008
year-to-date period.




Other
income and expense, net, consisted of a gain of $55,000 for the three months
ended in September 30, 2009, compared to a loss of $87,000 for the same period
in 2008.  For the 2009 year-to-date period, the gain was $73,000
compared to a loss of $181,000 for the 2008 year-to-date period.  The
loss in 2008 is mostly attributable to a net decrease in cash surrender value
over premiums of variable executive life insurance (due to market fluctuation),
compared to 2009 where there was an increase in cash surrender
value.




The
effective income tax expense for the first nine months of 2009 is 30% compared
to an effective income tax expense of 74% for the same period in 2008. The
change in rate is a direct result of permanent differences of officer’s life
insurance and the non-cash charge for stock option grants.




Net
income for the three months ended in September 30, 2009, was $107,149 or
$.02 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $12,438 for the same
period in 2008, or ($.00) per diluted share. For the 2009 year-to-date period,
net income was $201,206 or $.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss
of $125,953 or ($.02) for the 2008 year-to-date period.

Dividend has been declared as of September 30, 2009, and the Company does not

Critical
Accounting Policies




Revenue
Recognition




The
Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition.  In general, the
Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of any agreement exists,
services have been rendered, and collectibility is reasonably assured,
therefore, revenue is recognized when the Company invoices customers for
completed services at contracted rates and terms.




Income
Taxes




We make
certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial
statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in calculating tax
credits, tax benefits, and deductions that arise from differences in the timing
of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial-statement
purposes.




We assess
the likelihood that we will be able to recover deferred tax assets. If recovery
is unlikely, we must increase the provision for taxes by recording a valuation
allowance against the estimated deferred tax assets that will not ultimately be
recoverable. As of June 30, 2009, we believed that all of the deferred tax
assets recorded on our balance sheet would ultimately be recovered. However,
should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, our
tax provision would increase in the period in which we determine that the
recovery is unlikely.

Financial
Condition and Liquidity




As of
September 30, 2009, we had no cash and cash equivalents representing a decrease
of $189 from September 30, 2008. Net working capital at September 30, 2009,
was $341,800, as compared to $110,265 on September 30, 2008. Current assets at
September 30, 2009, were $1,105,268.  We had no long-term
debt.  Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2009, was $2,111,747,
which represented 73.4% of total assets.




During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the net cash provided by operating
activities was $69,000 and was primarily a result of increase in issuance of
common stock of $25,500 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $30,000 and
deposits of $2,300 and is offset by increases in the cash surrender value of
officers’ life insurance of $66,000, marketable securities of $12,000, net
deferred tax assets of $4,000 and prepaid expenses of $6,400 and decreases in
accounts payable of $36,900 and accrued expenses of $4,062 and income tax
payable of $65,600




Cash
flows from investing activities used $0.




Financing
activities provided $69,000 of cash for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. Of that decrease, $69,000 was due to payments on our revolving line of
credit. We borrow or repay this revolving debt as needed based upon our working
capital obligations. We believe that internally generated funds, current cash on
hand, and available borrowings under our revolving credit line will be adequate
to meet foreseeable liquidity needs.




Outlook




Major
trends that we must deal with involve the following:  1) consolidation
of customer’s primary vendor lists and 2) surge in off-shore and outsourced
development work for technology resources.   These trends have
altered the competitive landscape and viability of a domestic focused technology
consulting firm, which has caused us to shift our focus.




Customers
are consolidating their primary vendor lists to much smaller numbers and/or
primary vendors with a subset of sub vendors that are approved to provide
technology based work for the client.  In addition the surge to
off-shore work has shifted the competitive landscape for technology based
resources to more of a commodity driven process.  These trends have
altered the industry and opportunity level hence affecting the viability of a
domestic focused technology consulting firm, which has caused us to shift our
focus.  Premier Alliance Group is addressing this shift from 2
perspectives.  First we have laid the foundation and made a shift of
our core services from a pure technology focus to a complete business consulting
focus.  This shift will move us away from a commodity to a value add
focus.  Secondly we are working to diversify and enhance our business
model geographically as well as in our service offerings.

By
providing key business consulting skills and establishing internal “subject
matter groups of knowledge” we can expand into other geographic markets easier,
diversify our customer base and increase our overall presence.  To
accomplish this we are looking at organic growth as well as merger and
acquisition strategies.  We have retooled our sales and recruiting
efforts to increase our focus on higher end business consulting
services.  This is a growing area of need amongst clients as they
place more and more value on business knowledge and business process
capability.  Key initiatives have been to attract specific talent to
our consulting team and to target efforts that require (1) more specialized
process skills: project management, business analysis, and process reengineering
and (2) specialized business skills: regulatory and compliance, merger
knowledge, and financial expertise.  We see these areas as growth
areas in the future. These types of customer based initiatives will allow us to
separate ourselves from the “general” vendor perspective and allow us to be a
value added partner, increasing opportunity and long term
viability.




Our top
priority is to broaden the range of services we offer by building “areas of
business expertise” and at the same time build a more geographically diverse
client base. We believe that achieving this goal will require a combination of
merger activity and organic growth. This will in part depend on continued
improvement in the U.S. business market.




Off-Balance-Sheet
Arrangements




The Class
A Preferred Stock accrues 8 % per annum dividends on a stated “dividend
value”.  “Dividend value” is the amount equal to $0.98 per share for
each share of Class A Preferred Stock outstanding.  The dividends
began accruing June 1, 2004, and are cumulative.  Dividends are
payable annually in arrears and ended in 2007.  During 2007, the
Company declared and paid dividends of $43,400 ($.07 per preferred
share).  At September 30, 2009, no additional dividends have accrued
on these shares respectively.




As of
September 30, 2009, a total of 56,852 shares of Class A Preferred Stock have
been converted to 56,852 shares of Common Stock per a shareholder voluntary
conversion option as indicated in the Private Offering Memorandum executed on
June 7, 2004.  None have been converted during the three months ended
as of September 30, 2009.




As of
September 30, 2009, and during the prior three months then ended, there were no
other transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements to which an
unconsolidated entity was a party under which we (1) had any direct or
contingent obligation under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument, or
variable interest in the unconsolidated entity, or (2) had a retained or
contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated
entity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk






The
Company’s primary market risk exposures consist of interest rate risk associated
with variable rate borrowings and investment market fluctuation impact on long
term assets.  Management believes that interest rate fluctuations will
not have a material impact on Premier’s results of operations. Market
fluctuation provides investment gain or loss on variable life insurance policies
(managed by Metropolitan Life).  The policies are long term assets
which contribute to the financial stability of the company and can impact
funding and loan capability.





Interest
Rate Risks




At
September 30, 2009, the Company had an outstanding balance of $179,000 under its
revolving credit agreement. Interest on borrowings under the facilities are
based on the daily LIBOR rate plus a 3% margin. Daily average borrowings for the
2009 third quarter were $130,688.





Market
fluctuation impact on assets





For the
nine months ending September 30, 2009, the valuation of the Variable Life
Insurance policies had an investment gain of $65,990.





Equity
Market Risks




The
trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be
volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. Such fluctuations could
impact our decision or ability to utilize the equity markets as a potential
source of our funding needs in the future.





Item 4T. Controls and Procedures




As
required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the"
Exchange Act"), the Company's management, with the participation of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Principal Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by this report in reaching a reasonable
level of assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company
in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified
in the SEC's rules and forms.  Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and
Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report.





As
required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), the Company's management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation
of the Company's internal control over financial reporting to determine whether
any changes occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation,
there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during
the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
