XETA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

January 31,April 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

 

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

XETA Technologies, Inc. (“XETA” or the “Company”) is a leading integrator of advanced communications technologies with nationwide sales and service. XETA serves a diverse group of business clients in sales, engineering, project management, implementation, and service support.  The Company sells products produced by a variety of manufacturers including Avaya, Inc. (“Avaya”), Nortel Networks Corporation (“Nortel”), and Mitel Corporation (“Mitel”).  In addition, the Company manufactures and markets a line of proprietary call accounting systems to the hospitality industry.  XETA is an Oklahoma corporation.

 

The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to reasonably insure the information is not misleading.  Management suggests that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto made a part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Commission File No. 0-16231, which was filed with the Commission on January 23, 2009.  Management believes that the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

 

Segment Information

 

The Company has three reportable segments:  services, commercial system sales, and hospitality system sales.  Services revenues represent revenues earned from installing and maintaining systems for customers in both the commercial and hospitality segments.  The Company defines commercial system sales as sales to the non-hospitality industry.

 

The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Form 10-K described above.  Company management evaluates a segment’s performance based on gross margins.  Assets are not allocated to the segments.  Sales outside of the U.S. are immaterial.

 

The following is a tabulation of business segment information for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2009 and 2008:2008.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”).  SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognize compensation cost in its financial statements.  The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as selling, general and administrative expense as appropriate in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  Compensation expense was recognized in the statements of operations as follows:

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2009 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position on Financial Accounting Standard No. 115-2 and No. 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”, which amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities.  The intent of the FSP is to provide guidance on the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements; it does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities.  The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2009.  The implementation of this FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, which requires a company to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments for interim reporting periods.  FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009.

On November 1, 2008 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”).  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value

Table of Contents

measurements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2007 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). Under SFAS No. 141(R), an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. It further requires that acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense.  The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.

 

In December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”).  SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for us on a prospective basis for business combinations with an acquisition date beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.  As of October 31, 2008,April 30, 2009, the Company did not have any minority interests; therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

On February 20, 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) on Financial Accounting Standards No. 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions”. The FSP provides guidance on the accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing.  Repurchase financing is a repurchase agreement that relates to a previously transferred financial asset between the same counterparties (or consolidated affiliates of either counterparty), that is entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the initial transfer.  Under the FSP, a transferor and transferee will not separately account for a transfer of a financial asset and a related repurchase financing unless: (a) the two transactions have a valid and distinct business or economic purpose for being entered into separately; and (b) the repurchase financing does not result in the initial transferor regaining control

Table of Contents

over the financial asset. An initial transfer of a financial asset and repurchase financing that are entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, one another shall be considered linked unless all of the following criteria are met at the inception of the transaction:

 

·                  The initial transfer and the repurchase financing are not contractually contingent on one another.

·                  The repurchase financing provides the initial transferor with recourse to the initial transferee upon default.

·                  The financial asset subject to the initial transfer and repurchase financing is readily obtainable in the marketplace.

·                  The financial asset and repurchase agreement are not coterminous (the maturity of the repurchase financing must be before the maturity of the financial asset).

 

The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is not permitted.  The Company does not currently utilize repurchase financing; therefore, the implementation of this FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2008 the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133”, (“SFAS No. 161”). This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation.  The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on or before November 1, 2009.  The Company currently does not participate in any derivative instruments or hedging activities as defined under SFAS No. 133 and therefore it is unlikely that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position on Financial Accounting Standard No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors that should be

Table of Contents

considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company will adopt this FSP in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and will apply the guidance prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption.

 

In May 2008 the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 became effective on November 15, 2008 following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

On January 14, 2009 Nortel Networks Corporation (“Nortel”) filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States.  At the time of theNortel’s filing, Nortelthey owed approximately $685,000 for services rendered under the Company’s wholesale managed services program in which the Company is engaged by Nortel to provide field technical services to Nortel’s end-user customers.  The bankruptcy is in its early stages and atAt the time of filing this filing,form 10-Q, Nortel has not filed its reorganization plan. Thereforeplan; therefore our ability to assess the probability of recovering pre-petition amounts due is limited.  As of January 31,April 30, 2009, we have recorded $350,000 as a reserve against possible bad debts.    This provision represents fifty percent of the unsecured claim.  We are carefully following developments in the bankruptcy case and will assert our available legal rights and defenses when appropriate.

6.  CREDIT AGREEMENTS:

 

The Company has a credit facility with a commercial bank that includes a term loan and a $7.5 million revolving line of credit.  The facility matures on September 30, 2009.  The term loan, which is collateralized with a first mortgage on the Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, headquarters, amortizes based on a 13 year life. The revolving line of credit is used to finance growth in working capital and is collateralized by qualifying trade accounts receivable and inventories.

 

At January 31,April 30, 2009 and October 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $3.180 million$759,000 and $2.524 million, respectively, outstanding on the revolving line of credit.  The Company had approximately $4.3$6.7 million available under the revolving line of credit at January 31,April 30, 2009.  Advance rates are defined in the agreement, but are generally at the rate of 80% on qualified trade accounts receivable and 40% of qualified inventories.  Long term debt consisted of the following:

7.  EARNINGS PER SHARE:

 

The Company computes basic earnings per common share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting periods.  Dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the reporting periods computes diluted earnings per common share.  A reconciliation of net income and weighted average shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

In the following discussion, we make forward-looking statements relating toconcerning future performance, events and our future performance and results. All statements otherOther than those that are purely historical may be forward-looking statements.statements, all others are likely forward-looking.  Forward-looking statements generally include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “may”,“may,” “plans,�� “believes,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “targets,” “may,” “should” and similar words or expressions.  Such statements reflect our perspective on the industry and markets in which we operate.  Any statements containing estimates and forecasts are not guarantees of performance, but rather, reflect our current expectation, estimates, and forecasts about the industry and markets in which we operate, and our assumptions and beliefs based upon information currently available to us.  These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict or are beyond our control.  Examples of these risks include: the condition of U.S. economic crisiseconomy and its impact on capital spending trends in our markets;spending; reduced availability of credit; the tightening of credit availability in the U.S.; the recentNortel Networks bankruptcy filing by Nortel Networks;filing; the financial condition of our suppliers in general and changes by them in their distribution strategies and support; our ability to maintain and improve upon current gross profit margins; unpredictable revenue levels from quarter to quarter;quarter revenues; continuing acceptance andmarket success of the Mitel product and services offering;offerings; intense competition andcompetition; industry consolidation; our dependence upon a few large wholesale customers in our Managed Services offering; and the availabilityour ability to attract and retention of revenue professionalsretain talented sales, operational and certified technicians, and other .technical personnel.  These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” under Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 (filed with the Commission on January 23, 2009), and in updates to such risk factors set forth in Item 1A of Part II of thisour quarterly report.reports during fiscal 2009.  Because of these risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in forward-looking statements.  Consequently, we caution investors to read and consider all forward-looking statements in conjunction with such risk factors and uncertainties.  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe-harbor for forward-looking statements made by the Company.

 

Overview

Strategy.

InAt the beginning of fiscal 2009 we have adopted five primary strategies:  continue to acquire market share through aggressivetargeted sales activities; take advantage of Avaya’s new channel-centric go-to-market strategy; focus on fast growing applications such as unified communications; focus on industry verticals such as hospitality, healthcare and education; and augment growth through targeted acquisitions.

 

In addition to these strategies, senior management initiated an internal program to improve operational methods and practices.practices to produce leverage in our operating results, particularly in our selling, general, and administrative expenses.  The purpose of this effort is to identify internal opportunities to reduce costs.  These efforts are ongoing, and include development of new and refined processes; organize back office activities for improved labor utilization; use internal systems and technologies to automate routine activities; and review workforce utilization to ensure appropriate staffing composition.

 

Special Considerations.In April 2009 XETA purchased the assets of Summatis Communications, LLC (“Summatis”) located in Southboro, MA.  Summatis provides communications solutions, integration and maintenance services primarily targeted at the Nortel product line.  The acquisition strengthens our presence in the northeastern U.S. and adds to our Nortel competencies.  While the acquisition is not material to our financial position or results of operations, it represents an incremental step in our overall acquisitions strategy.

On January 14, 2009 Nortel Networks Corporation filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.  This filing was the culmination of Nortel’s efforts to “put [Nortel] on sound financial footing once and for all” as stated publicly by Nortel’s president and chief executive, Mike Zafirovski.  Nortel is one of our major suppliers and represents a significant portion of our business.  As such this filing is of considerable concern.  Presently we expectAt the time of filing this form 10-Q, our post-petition relationship with Nortel to continuecontinues without interruption.  However, management clearly recognizes the potential impact of Nortel’s filing on the Company’s financial performance.  In response we are closely monitoring developments associated with the filing and will respond appropriately as new information becomes available.

performance (see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below).  Nortel currently owes XETA approximately $685,000 in pre-petition accounts receivable at January 31, 2009.  At this filing the bankruptcy is in its early stages andreceivable.  To date, Nortel has not filed its reorganization plan.  This limits our ability to assess the probability of recovering pre-petition amounts due.  As of January 31,April 30, 2009, we have recorded $350,000 as a

2009, we have recorded $350,000 as an additional reserve against possible bad debts.  This provision represents one-half of the unsecured claim.  We are carefully following developments in the bankruptcy case and will assert our legal rights and defenses as appropriate.

 

Operating Summary.

In the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2009, we earned net income of $2,000$183,000 on revenues of $18.58$17.8 million compared to net income of $389,000$371,000 on revenues of $17.95$20.8 million in the first fiscalsecond quarter of 2008.last year.    For the first six months of fiscal 2009, we earned $186,000 in net income on revenues of $36.3 million compared to net income of $760,000 on revenues of $38.8 million.  These results reflect a cautionary bad debt provisionthe challenging macroeconomic conditions and their influence primarily on our commercial systems sales.  We discuss this and other contributing factors in more detail under “Results of $350,000 in response to Nortel’s bankruptcy filing and the challenges posed by macroeconomic conditions.Operations” below.

 

Financial Position Summary.

Since October 31, 2008, our financial condition has improved and we generatedas evidenced by the generation of positive cash flows from operations.  We discuss these and other financial items in more detail under “Financial Condition” below.

 

The following discussion presents additional information regarding our financial condition and results of operations for the three month periodthree- and six-month periods ended January 31,April 30, 2009 and 2008 and should be considered in conjunction with our above comments as well as the “Risk Factors” section below.

 

Financial Condition

Our financial condition improved during the first two fiscal quarterquarters of 2009 as our working capital grew by 6%8.6% to $9.9$10.2 million.  In addition we generated $525,000$3.70 million in cash flows from operations.  These cash flows included earnings and non-cash charges of $1.66 million,$1.88 million; a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.59 million,$5.40 million; a decrease in inventory of $323,000; and an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $210,000.$193,000.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $1.30 million, an increase$1.80 million; a decrease in inventoryaccrued liabilities of $883,000$815,000; and other changes in working capital items, which netted a decrease in cash of $113,000.  $1.48 million.  Non-cash charges included depreciation of $454,000; amortization of $657,000; stock-based compensation of $145,000; a loss on the sale of assets of $4,000; a provision for doubtful accounts receivable of $380,000; and a provision for obsolete inventory of $51,000.

We increasedused these positive cash flows to reduce borrowings on our working capital line of credit by $1.765 million: to make asset purchases of $656,000 and received proceeds from the sale of capitalcapitalized hospitality service contracts as well as certain net assets of $5,000.  We used cash toSummatis, together totaling $1.452 million; reduce our mortgage balance through scheduled principal payments by $43,000; to purchase capitalized service contracts of $750,000; to$86,000; fund other financing and investing activities of $85,000;$129,000; and to acquire capital assets of $219,000.  Of these expenditures, $114,000 was$329,000.  The acquisition of capital assets included $179,000 spent on capital equipment as part of normal replacement of our Information Technology infrastructure and headquarters facility improvements.  The remaining $99,000$150,000 was spent on our Oracle implementation.  Non-cash charges included depreciation of $225,000; amortization of $322,000; stock-based compensation of $70,000; a loss on the sale of assets of $4,000; a provision for doubtful accounts receivable of $365,000; and a provision for obsolete inventory of $26,000.

As noted above, our deferred tax liabilities increased $210,000 during the first fiscal quarter of 2009 and the balance of our noncurrent deferred tax liabilities was $5.7 million at January 31, 2009.  Most of this balance and the increase in this account are due to the difference in accounting for Goodwill between generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the U.S. tax code.  Under GAAP, Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is evaluated for impairment.  This evaluation is conducted as conditions warrant, but not less than annually under the guidelines set forth in SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  For tax purposes, Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.  As a result, the Company receives a tax deduction of approximately 1/15th of its Goodwill balance each year in its tax return.  This difference between no amortization expense being recorded in the GAAP-based operating statements and approximately $1.8 million in deductions taken on the tax return is recognized in the balance sheet as additional noncurrent deferred tax liabilities.  The amount recorded is the difference multiplied by the effective tax rate.  This difference is recorded as a noncurrent item because under GAAP deferred taxes are recorded as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the asset or liability which generated the deferred tax item.  The deferred tax liability associated with accounting for Goodwill will not be reduced unless the Company records an impairment charge to Goodwill in a future accounting period.

 

At January 31,April 30, 2009, the balance on our working capital revolver was $3.2 million,$759,000, with $4.3$6.7 million additional borrowings available.  We believe that this capacity is sufficient to support our operating requirements for the foreseeable future.  The working capital revolver and the mortgage on our headquarters facility are scheduled to mature on September 30, 2009. We expect to renew these instruments for 12-month and 36-month periods, respectively, prior to their expiration.  Given current credit market conditions, it is

14



Table of Contents

likely that such renewals could result in higher borrowing costs and/or reduced availability for unsecured borrowings.  In addition to the available capacity under our working capital line of credit, we believe we may have access to a variety of capital sources such as bank debt, private placements of subordinated debt, and public or private sales of equity.

 

Results of Operations

In the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2009, our revenues increased $630,000decreased $3.1 million or 4%15% compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2008, and our net income decreased $387,000$188,000 or 99%51%.  In the first six months of the year, revenues decreased $2.4 million or 6% and earnings declined $575,000 or 76%.  These results reflect higherlower sales in our major revenue categories.  However,of commercial systems and lower levels of commissions earned from the impactsale of these increased revenues was offsetAvaya post-warranty maintenance contracts..  The year-to-date results were also impacted by athe $350,000 bad debt provision in response to Nortel’s bankruptcy filing.  The narrative below provides further explanation of these results.

Systems Sales.

In the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2009, systems sales increaseddecreased approximately $872,000$2.5 million or 11%24% compared to the same period last year.  This increasedecrease includes a $267,000$3.5 million or 4% increase40% decrease in sales of systems to commercial customers and a $605,000$1.0 million or 36%68% increase in sales of systems to hospitality customers.  TheYear-to-date systems sales decreased $1.6 million or 9% compared to last year.  This decrease includes a decrease in sales of systems to commercial customers of $3.2 million or 22% and an increase in sales of systems to hospitality customers of $1.6 million or 51%.  The decrease in system sales to commercial customers primarily reflects difficult comparisons related to the maturationrevenues earned from the Miami-Dade County Public School’s (“M-DCPS”) project.  Additionally macroeconomic conditions and Nortel’s bankruptcy impacted our sales efforts.

Throughout fiscal 2008, we enjoyed strong commercial systems sales, installation revenues, and cabling revenues generated by the series of our backlog atorders received from M-DCPS.  In total, these orders generated over $10 million in revenues for the conclusion of fiscal 2008. These revenues were balanced across a number of large projects shippedCompany during the year.  We have not received a similar order during fiscal 2009, making comparisons to last one-third ofyear’s results more difficult.  Customers continue to reduce capital spending in response to recessionary conditions, and access to credit remains problematic.  As these conditions have intensified, customers have limited their capital spending to necessity purchases and investments with clear, rapid returns.  Finally, uncertainty around the quarter.Nortel bankruptcy continues to dampen demand for equipment in this product line.

 

The quarterly and year to date growth in sales of systems to hospitality customers, particularly during a challenging hospitality market, reflects our continued success in this niche market.  Results support our strategy to expand the revenues associated with our product offering to Mitel product offering.  The Mitel product line providesproducts which has provided us with the opportunity to work with hotel chains and property management companies that have previously standardized on the Mitel product line.  In addition, the Mitel offering is well-suited to properties of 150 rooms and below.  This presents us an avenue to aggressively pursue system sales opportunities in this property category.  We are pleased with our hospitality results and will continue to exploit opportunities across this segment.  While we anticipate continued success in the hospitality market, given economic conditions, we expect future revenue performancedownward pressure on revenues in this segment.  As such revenues may be at or belowless than historical levels.levels in the last half of the fiscal year.

Contract and time-and-materials (T&M) revenues increased 0.3% and decreased 3%2%, respectively in the first quarter.second quarter and year-to-date periods.  This year-to-date performance reflects relatively flat growthrevenues in our wholesale services programs and a modest decline in T&M service revenues.  We believe theseT&M revenues were influenced by general economic conditions as customers reduced spending on non-critical services.  Also,We continue to aggressively market our national service footprint and multi-product line technical capabilities to end-users, network service providers, and large integrators of voice and data technologies.  In the second quarter, we experienced somesecured new service programs with Marriott International and Lockheed Martin Corporation. Additionally, we acquired customer churnrelationships from Summatis.  We expect these new programs and relationships to positively impact our Contract & T&M revenues in our wholesale services business during the third fiscal quarter.

 

Implementation revenues decreased 3% and increased 7%2%, respectively in the firstsecond fiscal quarter.quarter and year-to-date periods.  These results were achieved despite significant deceases in commercial systems sales, traditionally the primary driver of these revenues.  We attribute thisyear-to-date performance to increasing demand for more complex communicationcommunications systems.  These projects require significant fee-generating design and engineering services provided by our Professional Services Organization (“PSO”).  As the market continues toLong term as customers displace conventional communicationcommunications platforms and adopt more complex systems, we anticipate continued growth in this area of our business through the fee-based utilization of these highly skilled technical resources.

 

Cabling revenues increased 75% in the first fiscal quarter.  This increase is attributed primarily to revenues associated with a small number of major cabling projects.  We are pleased with the beneficial growth

providedCabling revenues decreased 32% and increased 9%, respectively in the second fiscal quarter and year-to-date periods.  The second quarter decline in cabling revenues is primarily associated with the difficult comparisons to fiscal 2008 which were helped significantly by these projectsthe M-DCPS orders as discussed above.  Generally, we are pleased with the beneficial year-to-date growth in cabling revenues and continue to aggressively market our national structured cabling capabilities.  However, no assurance can be given that subsequent periods will produce similar performance.

Gross margins earned on Services revenues reflect improved cost controls and on-boarding the new Samsung service program.  In addition during the period we experienced improved utilization of our PSO consulting and design resources on fee-based engagements.  Expanding these billable consulting services for these high-value resources is an important aspect of our services strategy.

 

Gross margins on systems sales in the first fiscalsecond quarter improved slightly over last year exceedingand the year-to-date periods are above our target of 23% to 25% for systems revenues.  These results are due primarily to strong margins in our hospitality business.  We continue to receive considerable pricing support from our manufactures in the form of project-specific discounts and incentive rebates.  These incentives are material to our gross margins and we work diligently to maximize this support; however, no assurance can be given that future support will continue at historical levels.

The gross margins earned on Services revenues reflect improved results in this area of our business.  The contributing factors associated with these improved results center on a 43% growth in cabling revenues, a reduction in fixed costs, and the use of third party Quality Service Partners to maximize margins on these revenues.   In addition we benefited from improved utilization of our PSO and realized favorable results from cost containment efforts.

 

The final component of our gross margins is the margins earned on other revenues and our corporate cost of goods sold.  We earn the majority of other revenues from the sale of Avaya maintenance contracts on which we earn either a commission or gross profit.  We have no continuing service obligation associated with these revenues and gross profits.  In the first quarterhalf of fiscal 2009 we experienced a dramatic drop in other revenues as compared to the first quarter of 2008.  Thesame period last year.  Some decline in this segment was expected as we benefitted from record levelsaccelerated customer decisions throughout 2008.  In 2008 many customers accelerated their purchases or renewals of commissions earned from Avaya throughout 2008 as customers purchased or renewed Avaya service contracts at a higher than normal pace in anticipation of manufacturer price increases for these services.  We expect revenues on this element of our business to return to historical norms in 2009.  This is an unpredictable revenue stream that depends on the expiration dates of existing contracts, installation dates of new systems, the customer type as defined by Avaya, and the number of years that customers contract for services.  While no assurance can be given, we expect sales of Avaya service contracts to return to pre fiscal 2008 levels.  Other revenues may also include sales and cost of goods sold on equipment or services sold outside our normal provisioning processes. These revenues vary in both sales volume and gross margins earned.  Corporate cost of goods sold represents our material logistics and purchasing functions that support all of our revenue segments.

 

Operating Expenses.

Our total operating expenses increased $913,000decreased $102,000 or 24%2% in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2008.  Operating expenses were 25.7%24.9% of revenues in the second quarter compared to 21.7% in the second quarter last year.  Operating expenses increased $811,000 or 10% for the first half of fiscal 2009 compared to the same period a year ago.  Operating expenses were 25.3% of revenues in the first quarterhalf of fiscal 2009 compared to 21.5% in the first quarter21.6% last year.  The growth in operating expenses in the quarter over quarter comparisonfirst half of fiscal 2009 reflects severalthe following factors:

 

·                  SignificantA significant bad debt provision in response to the Nortel bankruptcy filing

·                  Increased expenditures to support the Oracle platform

·Increased board of director fees to support the addition of independent membership to the board

·Increased legal fees to support litigation and board governance activities

·Increased non-cash charges related to stock compensation expense for equity grants provided to management and key employees

·                  Increased amortization of: the Oracle platform in association with its expanded utilization; and intangible assets associated with recent acquisitions of service contracts and customer lists and service contracts

For the quarterThe growth of operating expenses were impacted by allas a percentage of the factors listed above.  Unfortunately these expenses grew faster thanrevenues is concerning, however; we deemed it tactically appropriate, given our revenues due in partstrong cash flows, to the bad debt provision associated with the Nortel bankruptcy.  However, even considering the Nortel provision,support operating expenses were higher thanabove our targets.  We are targetingtargets in the near term.  This tactic positions us to take advantage of improving economic conditions in subsequent quarters.  In the longer term we continue to target operating expenses of 18% to 20% of revenues over the next two to four years as we realize economies of scale.

 

Interest Expense and Other Income.

Net interest and other expense was $19,000$25,000 in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $85,000$59,000 in net other expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  Net interest and other expense was $43,000 for the six-month period ended April 30, 2009 compared to $144,000 in net other expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.same period last year.  This decrease reflects both lower interest rates and a reduction in borrowings.

 

Tax Provision.

The tax provision reflects the effective Federal tax rate plus the composite state income tax rates adjusted for states that require minimum tax payments even if tax losses are incurred.  Generally, we expect our tax provision rate to be approximately 40%.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

There has been no changeDuring the fiscal quarter covered by this report, the arbitration claim filed in the status of theApril 2008 by Design Business Communications, Inc., d/b/a/ American Telephone (“AMTEL”) matter since we last reported on itagainst us and Hitachi Telecom (USA) Inc. (“HITEL”) alleging a breach of AMTEL’s Authorized Distributorship Agreement with HITEL (“Distributor Agreement”), was largely resolved pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement entered into by all three parties in our Annual Report onNovember 2008.  (A full description of the alleged breach, which was based upon an order by AMTEL for 48 discontinued phones, is set forth under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Form 10-K filed January 23, 2009).  During the quarter, XETA delivered an agreed upon number of new phone sets to AMTEL and AMTEL paid XETA the agreed price for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, filed on January 23, 2009.

Subsequent tophones, all in accordance with the endterms of our first quarter for fiscal 2009, we reached athe settlement agreement.   The settlement agreement withalso requires AMTEL to file a former employee in a routine employment related matter first referenced in our Formdismissal of the arbitration, which remains to be filed as of the date of this 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2008, filed on June 5, 2008.  The settlement did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.report.

 

Additionally, we are involved as a plaintiff in another matter which we consider to be routine and incidental to the operation of our business.  We do not believe this proceeding will have a material affect on our financial position or results of operations.

therewith.  Except as set forth below, the Risk Factors included in the Company’s Form 10-K for its 2008 fiscal year have not materially changed.

 

Our business is affected by capital spending. Current economic conditions and the ability of our customers to access credit may reduce capital spending over the next twelve months and beyond.

 

The U.S. economy is mired in a recessionary contraction and, despite efforts by the Federal Government to stabilize the banking and financial systems, credit availability remains limited for nearly all enterprises, hence the outlook for corporate profits is uncertain.  These factors are contributing to a high degree of uncertainty concerning capital spending in 2009.  Because our business depends onis affected by capital spending for technology and equipment, we may continue to experience a decline indeclining demand for our products.  Such a decline mayThis could have a material, negative impact on our operating results and financial condition.

 

Nortel’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing may result in both a short-term and long-term financial loss for the Company.

 

Nortel filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 14, 2009.  We are owed approximately $685,000 in pre-petition accounts receivable.  Based on filings approved by the bankruptcy court allowing Nortel to fund post-petition business operations, we plan to continue to provide services to Nortel’s end-user customers under our wholesale services relationship, which currently produces approximately $3 million in annual revenues.  If our pre-petition claims are not collectible either in whole or in large part, we could experience material, negative operating results in the near term.  Furthermore, it is impossible to predict the long term impact of Nortel’s bankruptcy filing on our managed services revenues or our Nortel equipment business.  As such, our ongoing revenues and future financial results could be materially impaired in the event that Nortel is unable to fund its future operations; end-users elect to abandon their Nortel equipment for other products; Nortel implements dramatic changes to its business plan and strategies that negatively affect our relationship with Nortel as a business partner and/or vendor; the U.S. and global economic crisis negatively impacts Nortel’s ability to reorganize operations; and/or Nortel is unable to continue as debtor in possession or to emerge from bankruptcy.

 

Our manufacturers’ strategies regarding the provision of equipment and services to their customers may change dramatically and could have a material impact on our operating results.

 

Avaya is repositioning itself as a hardware and software manufacturer providing a wide range of voice communications hardware and applications to its customers.  As part of this strategy, Avaya is segmenting its hardware maintenance and software support.  The new software support offerings include technical support for specific voice applications and upgrade services to ensure customers can access all software patches and upgrades.  Currently, we earn revenues from some of our customers, particularly hospitality customers, to provide the products and services now being included by Avaya in its new software support offerings.    These changes could have a material, negative impact on our operating results if our revenues or margins are reduced in response to these mandated changes by Avaya.

 

As a result of its bankruptcy Nortel could revise its market strategy, and a revision could have a material, negative impact on our operating results if our revenues or margins are reduced as a result of a change in strategy.  While we do not currently anticipate changes in Nortel’s strategy, we cannot provide any assurance that the Nortel business relationship will produce beneficial contributions to our financial performance as described in our earlier filings.
