TELULAR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands, except share data)
1. |
|
Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30,
2007. For additional information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and
the footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2006. |
|
2. |
|
Earnings Per Share |
|
|
|
Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents, which relate entirely
to the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants. In the event of a net loss for the
period, both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. |

Stock Based Compensation |
|
|
|
The Company has an officer and employee stock incentive plan and a non-employee director
stock incentive plan. The costs of stock options granted is calculated based on their grant
date fair value and recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options
granted and warrants issued is estimated at the grant date or issuance date using a
Black-Scholes stock option valuation model. Key factors in determining the valuation of a
grant under the Black-Scholes model are: a volatility factor of the expected market price of
the Companys common stock, a risk-free interest rate, a dividend yield on the Companys common stock
and the expected term of the option. |

Restricted Cash |
|
|
|
Beginning in February 2003, the Venezuelan government imposed restrictions on the acquisition
and payment of foreign currencies. On December 14, 2006, the Company entered into a Guaranty
Agreement (the Agreement) with one of its customers located in Venezuela, Compania Anonima
Nacional Telefonos De Venezuela (CANTV). Under the Agreement, CANTV recognized its debt to
the Company of $950 related to an unpaid invoice and deposited this amount with the Company.
The Agreement stipulates that the funds shall not be applied or used by the Company as total
or partial payment of any unpaid invoices unless, within 365 days of the date of the
Agreement, payment is not approved and made by the Venezuelan government. If such a payment
on the unpaid invoice is made before December 14, 2007, the Company will return the funds.
If payment is not made by December 14, 2007, the Company has the right to offset the unpaid
invoice with the $950. During the quarter CANTV made payments to the Company for the
outstanding debt and the restricted cash was returned. |

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
|
|
|
Trade accounts receivable represents sales made to customers on credit. An allowance for
doubtful accounts is maintained based upon estimated losses resulting from the inability of
customers to make payments for goods and services. Trade accounts receivable, net of the
allowance for doubtful accounts, as of June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 are as follows: |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands, except share data)
On May 8, 2006, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain
liabilities relating to the fixed wireless division of CSI Wireless Inc. and CSI Wireless LLC
(together, the Sellers or CSI). Pursuant to an earn-out provision in the Asset Purchase
Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) the Company recognized an obligation to issue additional
shares of common stock during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and subsequently, issued
150,990 additional shares of common stock to the Sellers in the second quarter of fiscal year
2007. The value of these shares of common stock, $563, was recorded as additional goodwill
to the Fixed Cellular Phones (FCP) segment. In fiscal year 2006, it was determined that all
of the goodwill attributed to the FCP segment was impaired and a charge was taken to
operations. Accordingly, this additional goodwill was also determined to be impaired and the
charge of $563 was taken in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Other intangible assets as of June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 are as

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company reviewed the estimated lives of the
intangible assets it purchased from CSI on May 8, 2006. It was determined that the useful
life of one customer relationship would not extend beyond March 31, 2007. This intangible
was fully amortized as of March 31, 2007. The effect of this change in the estimated life of
the intangible was to reduce net income by $1,143 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.
The effect on earnings per share is to reduce it by $.06 for the nine month periods ending
June 30, 2007. |
|
8. |
|
Line of Credit |
|
|
|
On June 27, 2006, the Company entered into a two year Loan and Security Agreement (the
Line of Credit Agreement) and a Non-Recourse Receivable Purchase Agreement (the Receivable
Purchase Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). The Line of Credit Agreement provides
for a working capital line of credit secured by accounts receivable with borrowings based
upon eligible accounts receivable at 80% of their face value. The Receivable Purchase
Agreement provides for the sale of accounts receivable to SVB. Each agreement has a credit
limit of $10,000 and there is an aggregate credit limit of $15,000 covering borrowings or
purchases under both agreements. The Company repays the loan as receivables are collected.
Interest charged under the line of credit
agreement can vary from SVBs prime rate to SVBs prime rate plus 2%. At June 30, 2007, the
Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit Agreement or the Receivable
Purchase Agreement. |

|
|
In connection with the agreements, the Company issued 320,856 warrants to purchase or
convert into the Companys Common Stock. The warrants are exercisable at $1.87 per share and
were valued at $356
using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The value of the warrants has been recorded as a loan
origination fee and is being amortized over the term of the agreements. |
|
9. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
The Company did not record any U.S. federal or state income tax provision for the three and
nine month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006 due to the deductibility of certain items
for tax purposes in excess of deductions for book purposes. |
|
|
|
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for income tax purposes. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on its
deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the uncertainty of the realizability. Accordingly,
the Company has not recorded any U.S. federal or state income tax benefit related to these
deferred taxes. |
|
10. |
|
Commitments |
|
|
|
On April 28, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with ACT Electronics, Inc. (ACT)
under which ACT will provide fulfillment services and manufacture final assemblies of the
Companys products. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 90 days prior written
notice to the other party. Under the agreement, the Company has the right to offset amounts
due to the Company from ACT against amounts owed to ACT by the Company. As of June 30, 2007,
the Company had $11,221 in open purchase commitments pursuant to this agreement. |
|
|
|
On September 11, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Speedy-Tech Electronics
Ltd. (Speedy) relating to the manufacturing of final assemblies of the Companys products.
Either party may terminate the agreement upon 90 days prior written notice to the other
party. Under the agreement, the Company has the right to offset amounts due to the Company
from Speedy against amounts owed to Speedy by the Company. As of June 30, 2007, the Company
had $1,750 in open purchase commitments pursuant to this agreement. |
|
11. |
|
Segment and Major Customer Disclosures |
|
|
|
The Company has two reportable business segments: Fixed Cellular Terminals (FCT) and Fixed
Cellular Phones (FCP). The FCT segment consists of feature-rich, high end fixed cellular
terminals, including the Telguard family of products and services. The FCP consists of
high-volume, low cost fixed cellular phones. |
|
|
|
The FCT market is mostly in North America and consists of vertical applications ranging from
wireless residential and commercial alarm systems to machine-to-machine and portable dial
tone applications. The FCP market is prevalent in countries outside of North America with low
fixed line penetration. |
|
|
|
Summarized below are the Companys revenues and net income (loss) by reportable segment. |

$851 in direct costs related to the acquisition and recorded $197 of liabilities in
connection with the purchase. Earn-out provisions of the transaction may require the Company
to issue additional shares of common stock at measurement dates through June 30, 2007. The
purchase was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS No.
141, Business Combinations. The Companys Statements of Operations include the results of
operations for the purchased assets and liabilities since May 8, 2006.
The initial aggregate purchase price was $9,400, consisting of $3,044 of cash, 1,931,745
shares of the Companys Common Stock valued at $5,505 and direct costs of the acquisition of
$851. The fair value of the common stock was determined based on the average market price of
the Companys Common Stock over the
five day period ended two days after the terms of the Purchase Agreement were finalized. In
the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, $563 of additional purchase price was recorded as
goodwill and as a liability to be settled with common stock of the Company pursuant to one of
the earn-out provisions of the Purchase Agreement. In the second quarter of fiscal year
2007, the Company issued 150,990 of its common stock to the Sellers in settlement of the
earn-out liability. The fair value of the common stock was determined based on the average
market price of the Companys common stock over the five day period ended two days after
December 31, 2006. The additional goodwill was determined to be impaired and a charge of $563
was recorded to operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The final earn-out
measurement date was June 30, 2007, and no additional purchase price was recorded in the
second or third quarters of fiscal 2007. The following table summarizes the fair value of the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, including the

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Telular Corporation (Telular or the Company) is focused on global markets that have mature
cellular and PCS networks (collectively cellular) that can be utilized for new applications and
services that extend the cellular networks capability. Specifically, Telular designs, develops,
distributes and supports products and services that provide expanded connectivity and functionality
to cellular networks. These product and service offerings add value to the cellular networks and
take advantage of their economics, pervasiveness, convenience and architecture. These products
provide the capability to connect alarm panels, telephones, fax machines and data modems directly
to cellular networks. Bridging the gap between wireline customer premises equipment and cellular
networks, these technologies provide the Companys products with the look and feel of the
wireline network, providing critical communications and security needs in a variety of
environments. We refer to this concept as Fixed Cellular.
The growth of Fixed Cellular in any given market is dependent to a considerable extent upon the
growth of cellular telephone service in that market as a cost-effective alternative to or
substitute for landline telephone systems. Consequently, in managing the business and making
decisions about where to invest resources, the Companys management collects data and follows
trends in the following areas of the cellular industry:
|
|
The cost of cellular airtime rates to consumers |
|
|
|
The cost of cellular equipment technology and components |
|
|
|
The capabilities of deployed cellular systems |
|
|
|
Consumer attitudes toward cellular technology |
|
|
|
Competitive and substitute products in the market place |
|
|
|
Global economic conditions and economic conditions in key markets for Fixed Wireless |
|
|
|
Telephony regulation in key markets for Fixed Wireless |
Based upon trends noted from data collected in the above areas, such as improved economic
conditions in Latin America and substantial growth in the adoption of Fixed Wireless in Asia and
the United States, the Company believes that the market for Fixed Cellular will experience
substantial growth over the next five years.
The Company currently operates two businesses organized into separate reporting segments: Fixed
Cellular Terminals (FCT) and Fixed Cellular Phones (FCP). The Company is now focused on the FCT
business due to strong growth and acceptable margins as compared to the FCP segment, where
competition has driven margins to an unacceptable level. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company
has made the decision to place its FCP assets up for sale. By continuing to concentrate on the FCT
markets, we believe we can further improve the performance and long-term profitability of Telular
Corporation.
The FCT market is primarily in North and South America and consists of a number of vertical
applications ranging from wireless residential and commercial alarm systems addressed by
TELGUARD® to Internet access provided by PHONECELL® FCTs. The FCT segment also
includes monitoring services directly related to the activation of the TELGUARD®
products. The FCT market is addressed primarily through indirect channels consisting of
distributors, representatives and agents along with in-house sales and customer support teams. The
Company is currently developing additional event monitoring application in order to replicate its
success with the TELGUARD® products and services
The Company generates its revenue by making and selling products and providing services related to
those products. It recognizes revenue when its products ship from various manufacturing locations
to customers and when the service is performed. Although the Company has a broad base of customers
worldwide, much of its FCP revenue is generated from large contracts, the timing of which is often
unpredictable.
15
The Companys operating expense levels are based in large part on expectations of future revenues.
If anticipated sales in any quarter do not occur as expected, expenditure and inventory levels
could be disproportionately high, and the Companys operating results for that quarter, and
potentially for future quarters, could be adversely affected. Certain factors that could
significantly impact expected results are described in Cautionary Statements that are set forth in
Exhibit 99 to the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
Results of Operations
Third quarter fiscal year 2007 compared to third quarter fiscal year 2006
Net product sales. Net product sales of $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007, increased 3% compared to the same period last year.
TELGUARD® Terminal Products. Sales of TELGUARD® products
decreased 4%, or $0.4 million, to $8.0
million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal
year 2006. This decrease is
due primarily to a lower average selling price to maintain market penetration of the
TELGUARD® digital products while continuing to take advantage of lower production
costs.
Terminal Products (exclusive of TELGUARD® products). Sales of terminal
products increased 17%, or $0.6
million, to $3.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same
period of fiscal year 2006.
This increase was primarily the result of increased sales in developing markets where end
users are increasingly
using our products for Internet access and to allow legacy telephone equipment to utilize
wireless networks.
Phone Products. Sales of FCP products during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 of
$5.5 million increased 9% or $0.4 million, over the same period last year. This increase was
a result of higher unit volumes achieved by reducing the average selling price.
Service revenue. Service revenue increased 60% to $4.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal
year 2007 from $2.8 million during the same period last year. The increase is primarily the result
of the increased services related to TELGUARD® products cumulatively activated over the
past 12 months.
Gross margin. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $6.1 million, or 28% of
total revenue, compares to $4.6 million, or 24% of total revenue, for the same period last year.
The increase in gross margin as a percentage of total revenue is the result of an increased mix of
TELGUARD® product and services in the Companys revenues and the reduction of warranty
expenses for the period.
Engineering and development expenses. Engineering and development expenses of $1.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, decreased 14%, or $0.3 million, compared to the same period of
fiscal year 2006. The decrease is primarily due to reduced personnel costs related to the Companys
reduction in workforce in the previous quarter.
Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses of $2.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007, decreased 21%, or $0.6 million, compared to the same period of fiscal year
2007. This decrease reflects the reduced personnel costs as a result of the reduction in workforce
in the previous quarter and reduced co-op marketing expenses.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of $1.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, decreased 18%, or $0.3 million compared to the same period of
fiscal year 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the bad debt allowance which was
reduced to reflect the stability of the Companys customer payments.
Amortization. Amortization expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007,
decreased 28% compared to the same period of fiscal year 2006. This decrease was the result of
accelerated amortization taken in the first six months of fiscal 2007 associated with certain
intangible assets purchased in the May 8, 2006 acquisition of the fixed wireless division business
of CSI Wireless Inc.
16
Net Income. The Company recorded net income of $0.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal year
2007 compared to a net loss of $6.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. The change
is the result of increased gross margins of $1.4 million and reduced operating expenses of $5.4
million, primarily due to the decrease in goodwill impairment loss of $4.0 million. Net income in
the third quarter from the FCT segment of $1.8 million compares to net income of $1.2 million last
year. Net loss in the third quarter from the FCP segment was $1.5 million compared to net loss of
$7.7 million last year.
Net income per Common Share. Net income per share of $0.02 for the third quarter of fiscal year
2007 compares to net loss per share of $0.37 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006.
First nine months fiscal year 2007 compared to first nine months fiscal year 2006
Net product sales. Net product sales of $52.9 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2007, decreased 11% compared to the same period last year.
TELGUARD® Terminal Products. Sales of TELGUARD®
products increased 97%, or $12.2 million, to $24.8
million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal
year 2006. This increase is
due primarily to increased market penetration resulting from lower cost TELGUARD®
digital products.
Terminal Products (exclusive of TELGUARD® products). Sales of terminal
products increased 20%, or $1.6
million, to $9.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same
period of fiscal year 2006.
This increase was primarily the result of increased sales in developing markets where end
users are increasingly
using our products for Internet access and to allow legacy telephone equipment to utilize
wireless networks.
Phone Products. Sales of FCP products during the first nine months of fiscal year
2007 of $18.2 million decreased 53% or $20.3 million, over the same period last year as a
result of a decline in global demand for CDMA-based products as well as increased
competition.
Service revenue. Service revenue increased 56% to $12.5 million during the first nine months of
fiscal year 2007 from $8.0 million during the same period last year. The increase is primarily the
result of the increased services related to TELGUARD® products cumulatively activated
during the period.
Gross margin. Gross margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 of $17.8 million, or 27% of
total revenue, compares to $13.2 million, or 20% of total revenue, for the same period last year.
The increase in gross margin as a percentage of total revenue is the result of an increased mix of
TELGUARD® product and services in the Companys revenues and the reduction of warranty
expenses for the period.
Engineering and development expenses. Engineering and development expenses of $5.7 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2007, increased less than 1% compared to the same period of fiscal year
2006. The increase is due to reduced personnel costs related to the Companys reduction in
workforce earlier in the fiscal year, offset by an increase in separation compensation paid to the
Companys former CTO.
Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses of $8.1 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2007, decreased 4% compared to the same period of fiscal year 2007. This decrease
reflects reduced personnel costs related to the reduction in workforce earlier in fiscal 2007 and a
reduction in certain commission and co-op marketing expenses.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of $4.0 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2007, decreased 4%, or $0.2 million compared to the same period of
fiscal year 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the bad debt allowance partially
offset by an increase in the allocation of idle plant capacity to general and administrative
expenses.
17
Amortization. Amortization expenses of $3.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007,
increased 269% compared to the same period of fiscal year 2006. This increase was the result of
amortization associated with intangible assets purchased in the May 8, 2006 acquisition of the
fixed wireless division business of CSI Wireless Inc.
Goodwill impairment. Goodwill impairment loss of $0.6 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2007, compares to $4.0 million in the same period of fiscal year 2006, a decrease of $3.4 million
or 86%. In fiscal year 2006, goodwill in the FCP segment was determined to be impaired. A loss for
the full carrying value of the goodwill was charged to operations in fiscal 2006. The loss in the
current period resulted from the allocation of $0.6 million to goodwill relating to an earn-out
provision contained in the Purchase Agreement with CSI (see financial statement footnote 7). This
goodwill was also determined to be impaired and was taken as an impairment charge in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Net loss. The Company recorded a net loss of $3.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal year
2007 compared to a net loss of $9.6 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2006. The
decrease in net loss this year is primarily the result of increased gross margins and a decrease in
operating expenses primarily related to a reduction in amortization expenses and goodwill
impairment loss. Net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from the FCT segment of $3.3
million compares to net income of $2.8 million last year. Net loss in the first nine months of
fiscal year 2007 from the FCP segment was $6.9 million compared to net loss of $12.7 million last
year
Net loss per Common Share. Net loss per share of $0.20 for the first nine months of fiscal year
2007 compares to net loss per share of $0.58 for the same period of fiscal year 2006.
Financial Position
Management regularly reviews net working capital in addition to cash to determine if it has
enough cash to operate the business. On June 30, 2007, the Company had $12.5 million of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and a working capital surplus of $29.5 million.
The Company generated $9.3 million of cash from operations during the first nine months of fiscal
year 2007 compared to cash used of $12.1 million during the same period of fiscal year 2006. Cash
provided by operations during the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 includes $3.6 million of
the net loss, offset by $5.7 million of non-cash charges and $7.2 million due to net favorable
changes in working capital as follows: (1) a decreases in trade accounts receivable as a result of
more timely collections of existing receivables; (2) a decrease in inventories as a result of a
focus on selling FCP finished goods, not withstanding the low margin available in the market; (3) a
decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets primarily as a result of applying a prepayment made
to our Contract Manufacturer for outstanding invoices, (4) a decrease in trade payables from
reduced production, mainly in the FCP segment and (5) a decrease in accrued liabilities resulting
from the timing of payments.
The FCT segment generated $3.2 million and $6.9 million of cash from operations during the three
and nine month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The FCP segment generated an additional
$0.3 million and $2.3 million of cash from operations primarily from the improved collection of
trade accounts receivable during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2007,
respectively.
Cash of $0.4 million was used in investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal year
2007 compared to cash generated from investing activities of $5.1 million during the same period of
the prior year, a net decrease of $5.5 million. This decrease was due to (1) the sale of $12.1
million of marketable securities which generated cash in the first nine months of fiscal year 2006
compared to no sales of marketable securities in the same period of fiscal year 2007, (2)$3.9
million used for the acquisition of the CSI business unit in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, (3)
a $2.0 million increase ( a use of cash) in restricted cash period over period, and (3) $0.7
million less used for the acquisition of property and equipment.
Cash of $3.1 million was used in financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 2007.
The decrease was due to $3.3 used to pay down the working line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank
partially offset with $0.2 million proceeds from
the exercise of employee stock options. There were no borrowings under this credit facility in the
same period of the prior year (see financial statement footnote 8).
18
Based upon its current operating plan, the Company believes its existing capital resources,
including the line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, will enable it to maintain its current and
planned operations. Cash requirements may vary and are difficult to predict given the volatility of
demand in certain of the developing markets targeted by the Company. The Company expects to
maintain levels of cash reserves which are required to undertake major product development
initiatives and to qualify for large sales opportunities.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant
accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The
Company believes that the following represent the critical accounting policies that currently
affect the presentation of the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
Reserve for Obsolescence
Significant management judgment is required to determine the reserve for obsolete or excess
inventory. The Company currently considers inventory quantities greater than a one-year supply as
well as any additional, specifically identified inventory to be excess. The Company also provides
for the total value of inventories that are determined to be obsolete based on criteria such as
customer demand and changing technologies. At June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the inventory
reserves were $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Changes in strategic direction, such as
discontinuance or expansion of product lines, changes in technology or changes in market
conditions, could result in significant changes in required reserves.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates the fair value and recoverability of the goodwill of each of its business
segments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may
not be recoverable or at least annually. In determining fair value and recoverability, the Company
makes projections regarding future cash flows. These projections are based on assumptions and
estimates of growth rates for the related business segment, anticipated future economic conditions,
the assignment of discount rates relative to risk associated with companies in similar industries
and estimates of terminal values. An impairment loss is assessed and recognized in operating
earnings when the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Currently, the
Company has significant deferred tax assets principally related to the carryforward of net
operating losses. Deferred tax assets are reviewed regularly for recoverability, and when
necessary, valuation allowances are established based on historical tax losses, projected future
taxable income, and expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences. Valuation
allowances have been provided for all deferred tax assets, as management makes assessments about
the realizability of such deferred tax assets. Changes in the Companys expectations could result
in significant adjustments to the valuation allowances, which would significantly impact the
Companys results of operations.
Forward Looking Information
The Company includes certain estimates, projections and other forward-looking statements in
its reports and in other publicly available material. Statements regarding expectations, including
performance assumptions and estimates relating to capital requirements, as well as other statements
that are not historical facts, are forwarding-looking statements.
19
These statements reflect managements judgments based on currently available information and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements. With respect to these forward-looking statements,
management has made assumptions regarding, among other things, customer growth and retention,
pricing, operating costs and the economic environment.
The words estimate, project, intend, expect, believe, target and similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are found
throughout Managements Discussion and Analysis. The reader should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company is not
obligated to and expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly release any revisions to
forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this report or unforeseen events.
Other risks and uncertainties are discussed in Exhibit 99 to the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes regarding the Companys market risk position from the
information provided in its Annual Report on From 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2006.
The Company frequently invests available cash and cash equivalents in short term instruments such
as certificates of deposit, commercial paper and money market accounts. Although the rate of
interest paid on such investments may fluctuate over time, each of the Companys investments is
made at a fixed interest rate over the duration of the investment. All of these investments have
maturities of less than 90 days. The Company believes its exposure to market risk fluctuations for
these investments is not material as of June 30, 2007.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. To reduce its exposure to the credit risks
of international customers, with the exception of customers with ownership interests by
credit-worthy, primarily US-based companies, the Company may receive payment prior to shipment,
receives irrevocable letters of credit that are confirmed by U.S. banks, or purchases commercial
credit insurance. In some instances, the Company extends credit to foreign customers without the
protection of prepayments, letters of credits or credit insurance. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations and charges amounts to operations when they are determined to be uncollectible.
Because of the steps taken above to mitigate credit risks of international customers, the Company
believes that its exposure to credit risk is not material.
To mitigate the effects of currency fluctuations on the Companys results of operations, the
Company conducts all of its international transactions in U.S. dollars.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
As of the end of the period covered by this report an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, there were no changes in the Companys internal controls
over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of
Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, each promulgated under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial
reporting.
20
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of its
business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management believes that the
outcome of all pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys
consolidated results of operation or financial position. However, because of the nature and
inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of any legal actions be unfavorable, the
Company may be required to pay damages and other expenses, which could have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
