XETA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 20092010

(Unaudited)

 

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

XETA Technologies, Inc. (“XETA”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”“our”), an Oklahoma corporation formed in 1981, is a leading integrator of advanced communications technologies with nationwide sales and service.  XETA serves a diverse group of business clients inprovides sales, engineering,design, project management, implementation, and service support.maintenance services in support of the products it represents.  The Company sells and/or supports products produced by a variety ofseveral manufacturers including Avaya, Inc. (“Avaya”), Nortel Networks Corporation (“Nortel”), and Mitel Corporation (“Mitel”), and Samsung Business Communications Systems (“Samsung”)In addition,Through its recent acquisition of the assets of Hotel Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Lorica”) the Company provides high speed internet access, network monitoring services, and guest help desk services to the hospitality industry.  The Company also 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 theregulations.  The Company believes that the disclosures are reasonably adequate to reasonably insureensure 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.  The Company filed the 10-K as Commission File No. 0-16231, which was filed with the Commission on January 23, 2009.8, 2010.  Management believes that the financial statements contain allthe necessary 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.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value:

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, customer deposits, trade accounts receivable, sales-type leases, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their respective fair values due to their short maturities.

 

Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of the long-term debt approximates the carrying value.

 

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.

Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2009July 2010 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “AmendmentsBoard (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”.  ASU 2010-20 requires disclosures designed to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidationenhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of Variable Interest Entities” (“SFAS No. 167”).  SFAS No. 167 replacesloan and lease receivables.   Disclosures include an evaluation of the quantitative based calculationnature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s financing receivables; how the risk is analyzed to arrive at the allowance for determining which variable interest entities have a controlling financial interest with an approach that is expectedcredit losses and the changes and reasons for changes in the allowance for credit losses.  Under this guidance, the allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be primarily qualitative.  The requirement for consolidation will be based on the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity’s economic performance as well as the other entity’s purpose and design.  The reporting entity will be required to provide additional disclosures regarding involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure resulting from that involvement.  SFAS No. 167disclosed by portfolio segment.  ASU 2010-20 will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2009.December 31, 2010.  The Company does not currently have any variable interest relationships; therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 167this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events: Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”.  The guidance in ASU 2010-09 removes the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In JuneNovember 2009 the FASB issued Statement of FinancialCompany adopted Accounting Standards No. 166, “AccountingCodification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation”.  ASC 810 changes the accounting and reporting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No. 166”). SFAS No. 166 amends FASB Statement No. 140 by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entityminority interests, which are now recharacterized as non-controlling interests and modifies the financial-components approach used in that statement.  SFAS No. 166 limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion of a financial asset or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the financial asset.  The statement establishes conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial assetclassified as a sale.  SFAS No. 166 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.component of equity.   The Company does not have any minority interests; therefore the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”).  SFAS No. 165 establishes the general standards of accounting for and disclosures required for events occurring after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  Under SFAS No. 165 the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, are required to be recognized in the financial statements.  Subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued should not be recognized in the financial statements.  Subsequent events that are not recognized in the financials statements may need to be disclosed to prevent the financial statements from being misleading.  The disclosure should include the nature of event and an estimate of the financial effect or a statement that an estimate cannot be made.  SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.

In April 2009 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 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 interim and annual periods 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 measurements.  The FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, which amends SFAS No. 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope.  The FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active”, which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides guidance in key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active.  On April 2009 the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, “Determining the Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.   FSP SFAS No. 157-4 is effective for interim and periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a materialan impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.statements.

 

In December 2007November 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Company adopted ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”).  Under SFAS No. 141(R),ASC 805, 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 changeCompany began applying the accounting treatment forguidance to 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 July 31,November 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 Assetsadopted ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Repurchase Financing Transactions”Other”.  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 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 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”.assets.  The intent of this FSPthe guidance is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142the accounting standards 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.asset.  The Company will adopt this FSP inbegan applying the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and will apply the guidance prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption.in fiscal 2010.

 

In May 2008October 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”)ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”SFAS No. 162 identifiesThe guidance in ASU 2009-13 amends the sourcescriteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements.  The guidance eliminates the estimated fair value approach for revenue allocation between the separate units of accounting principles and replaces it with a sales-based approach referred so as the frameworkrelative-selling-price method. ASU 2009-13 expands required disclosures related to a company’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for selectingfiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  The Company is currently assessing the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 became effectiveimpact that adoption will have 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 consolidatedrequired disclosures, its financial position and results of operations.

 

Goodwill and Other Long-lived Assetsaccounting standards that have been issued or proposed that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

The Company accounts for goodwill under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”).  Under SFAS 142, goodwill recorded as a part of a business combination is not amortized, but instead is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test.  During the third quarter the Company experienced a continued decline in revenues in its commercial equipment reporting unit due to poor economic conditions and uncertainty regarding Nortel’s product line.  Additionally, the Company also experienced a sustained decline in its market capitalization.  These factors, taken together, prompted an interim test for impairment.  The Company conducted step 1 of its review as of July 31, 2009 and engaged an independent valuation consultant to assist in the formulation of fair values for each of its reporting units.  In order to make this assessment, the Company prepared a long-term forecast of the operating results and cash flows associated with the major reporting units of its business.  The forecast was prepared to determine the net discounted cash flows associated with each of these units.  The Company, with the assistance of its valuation consultant, also developed market-based approaches to estimate the value of its reporting units.  These market-based approaches utilize current valuations of businesses similar to the Company’s and apply various valuation techniques to estimate fair value.  These estimated income-based and market-based valuations were weighted and the corresponding valuation was then compared to the book value of each of the reporting units.  Making this assessment requires a great deal of judgment, including the growth rates of various business lines, gross margins, operating margins, discount rates, and the capital expenditures needed to support the projected growth in revenues.  The valuation consultant engaged to assist in this evaluation examined additional data regarding competitors and market conditions which also required a great amount of subjectivity and assumptions.  The methodologies used in this interim analysis were consistent with the methodologies and valuation techniques used in past impairment assessments.  Based on completion of step 1 of the analysis, management determined that the carrying value of the commercial equipment reporting unit was greater than its estimated fair value and therefore an impairment of the goodwill associated with this unit exists.

Management has estimated the impairment to be between $9 million and $13 million and an impairment charge of $11.0 million was recorded in the third fiscal quarter representing the Company’s best estimate of the probable impairment at this time.  The Company will adjust the impairment charge, if necessary, after completing step two of its impairment test in connection with its next periodic report filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” an impairment loss on long-lived assets used in operations is recorded when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  During the third fiscal quarter, it was determined that certain identifiable assets related to our Oracle ERP platform were impaired because the Company estimates that full cost of the system cannot be reasonably recovered based on near-term projected financial results.  An impairment charge of $3.0 million was recorded as of July 31, 2009 to reduce the Company’s carrying value of this asset to the mid-point of management’s estimate of the replacement cost of an ERP system that would be adequate for the Company’s current and near-term operating needs.

On January 14, 2009, Nortel Networks Corporation filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States.  TheStates Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.  Subsequent to the filing the administrators of the bankruptcy have adopted a business disposal strategy.  Under thisthe strategy, the administrators have segmented Nortel into three primary business units: Virtual Service Switches, CDMA businesses and Enterprise Solutions. We conductconducted all of our Nortel business through the Enterprise Solutions unit.

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%.

The tax effect of impairment charges recognized as of July 31, 2009 resulted in a decrease in noncurrent deferred tax liabilities of approximately $5.5 million.  For tax purposes the Company is amortizing its goodwill balances over a statutory life of 15 years.  The combination of these tax deductions and lower levels of taxable income generated from operations in recent years has created net operating losses that are reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as deferred tax assets.  Management believes that future operating income will be sufficient to realize these loss carryforwards and that no valuation allowance is required.

6.  CREDIT AGREEMENTS:

 

TheIn November 2009, the Company hasentered into a one-year loan agreement with a new financial institution. This agreement replaced our previous credit facility, with a commercial bank that includes a term loan and a $7.5 million revolving line of credit.  The facility matureswhich was scheduled to mature on SeptemberNovember 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.  Theagreement consists of an $8.5 million revolving line of credit is used to finance growth in working capital and isfacility collateralized by qualifying trade accounts receivable, inventories, and inventories.  The Company is in discussions with several lenders, including its existing lender, to establish a new credit facility and expects to have a new agreement established prior to the expiration of its current agreement.real estate.

8.CONTINGENCIES:

In addition to potential losses related to Nortel’s pre-petition receivables, the Company may be subject to preference payment claims asserted by Nortel.  It is routine in bankruptcy proceedings for the debtor in possession or bankruptcy trustee to assert a statutory “preference claim” to seek to recover payments made by the bankrupt entity to creditors during the 90-day period immediately preceding the filing of the bankruptcy petition.  This period is known as the “preference period”.  Although the debtor is entitled to make a claim based solely upon when the payments were made, the payments are not recoverable if they were made in the debtor’s ordinary course of dealings with the creditor.  Nortel has filed a schedule showing approximately $1.6 million in payments made to the Company during the preference period.  To date Nortel has not asserted a preference claim against the Company.  However, if a preference claim is brought, the Company believes it has good defenses to any such potential claim against it, including that the subject payments were made in the ordinary course of the Company’s business dealings with Nortel.  These defenses must be argued on each individual Company invoice paid during the preference period.  The Company is unable at this time to determine the extent, if any, of any material loss that might occur if a claim to recover preference payments is asserted.  Therefore, no provision for loss has been made beyond the amount discussed above related to unpaid invoices at the time of the bankruptcy filing.

9.  CAPITAL LEASES:

 

During 2008 the Company leased software licenses under an agreement that is classified as a capital lease. The book value of the licenses is included in the balance sheet as property, plant and equipment and was $291,666$139,492 at July 31, 2009.2010.  Accumulated amortization of the leased licenses at July 31, 20092010 was $168,854.$317,028.  Amortization under the capital lease is included in depreciation expense.  The future minimum lease payments required under the capital lease and the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of July 31, 2009,2010, are as follows:

In addition to monitoring trends in order rates and holding discussions with customers, management also monitors macroeconomic conditions, sales trends among our major suppliers, and sales activity across the communications industry.  Based on information derived fromManagement believes these activities, management believes that market conditions will remain challenging for the fourth fiscal quarter and perhaps beyond.  As such, in the third quarter management developed and executed a multi-pronged cost reduction plan designed to align sales and operating costs with market conditions.

The reductions were carefully designed to aggressively reduce costs, while preserving the key resources necessarystrategies are appropriate to fully realize growth opportunities asthe benefits of our investments in high value talent and competencies, to capitalize on the market recovers.  The beneficial effectsrealignment resulting from Avaya’s acquisition of these actions were only partially realizedNES and to ready ourselves in the third quarter.  Management anticipates the full benefitanticipation of these measures will materializegrowth in the fourth quarter,demand for advanced applications and into next fiscal year.collaborative technologies.

In the third quarter of fiscal 20092010, we recorded net income of $513,000 on revenues of $20.9 million compared to a net loss of $8.6 million on revenues of $17.2 million compared to net income of $591,000 on revenues of $23.2 million in the third quarter of last year.  Excluding the $14.0 million impairment charge and related tax benefit of $5.5 million in the third quarter, our non-GAAP net loss was $87,000.  For the first nine months of fiscal 20092010, we recordedearned $1.4 million in net income on revenues of $61.1 million compared to a net loss of $8.4 million on revenues of $53.5 million compared to net income of $1.4 million on revenues of $62.0 million.  Excluding the impairment charge and tax benefit, our non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of last year.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded an impairment charge on goodwill and other assets of $14.0 million and related tax benefit of $5.5 million.  Our non-GAAP net income was $98,000.$98,000 for the first nine months of last year.  Apart from the impairment charges to goodwill and our Oracle ERP system which are discussedrecorded in more detail above, these2009, the improved 2010 results primarily reflect the challenging market conditions stemming from the ongoing macroeconomic contractionan increase in revenues and the associated decline in demand for commercial systems.gross profits partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative costs.  We discuss this and other contributing factors in more detail under “Results of Operations” below.

 

Financial Position Summary.

 

Since October 31, 20082009, we have generated positive cash flows from operations of $7.9$2.4 million and we primarily through the collections of accounts receivable.  We have used these cash flows to reduce borrowings, purchase the net operating assets of Lorica and make capital expenditures to support our operations.  We have improved our working capital approximately 5%15%.  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- and nine-month periods ended July 31, 20092010 and 20082009 and should be considered in conjunction with our above comments as well as the “Risk Factors” section below.

 

18Financial Condition

During the first three fiscal quarters of 2010 our working capital increased by 15% to $13.2 million.  We generated $2.4 million in cash flows from operations.  These cash flows included earnings and non-cash charges of $3.2 million; a decrease in inventory of $338,000; an increase in accrued liabilities of $483,000; and a decrease in deferred taxes of $814,000.  These positive cash flow items were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $324,000; a decrease in unearned revenue of $555,000; a decrease in accounts payable of $590,000; and other changes in working capital items.  These items netted to a decrease in cash of $956,000.  Non-cash charges included amortization of $580,000; depreciation of $906,000; provisions for doubtful accounts receivable and obsolete inventories of $122,000; and stock-based compensation of $200,000.

We used these positive cash flows to pay off term debt of $1.2 million; to purchases the net operating assets of Lorica of $1.0 million, acquire capital assets of $1.1 million; and fund other financing and investing activities of $115,000.  The acquisition of capital assets was part of normal replacement of Information Technology infrastructure and headquarters facility improvements.

Financial Condition

During the first three fiscal quarters of 2009 our working capital increased by 5% to $9.8 million.  We generated $7.9 million in cash flows from operations.  These cash flows included a decrease in accounts receivable of $8.6 million and a decrease in inventory of $296,000.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in deferred tax liabilities of $5.5 million; a decrease in accounts payable of $2.7 million; a decrease in accrued liabilities of $408,000; and other changes in working capital items, which netted a decrease in cash of $356,000.  The impairment charge to goodwill and other assets of $14.0 million did not impact cash flows in the period.  Other Non-cash charges included amortization of $1.0 million; depreciation of $723,000; provisions for doubtful accounts receivable and obsolete inventories of $471,000; stock-based compensation of $219,000; and a loss on the sale of assets of $4,000.

We used these positive cash flows to reduce borrowings on our working capital line of credit by $2.5 million; to make asset purchases of capitalized hospitality service contracts as well as certain net assets of Summatis, together totaling $1.53 million; acquire capital assets of $636,000; reduce our mortgage balance through scheduled principal payments by $128,000; and fund other financing and investing activities of $169,000.  The acquisition of capital assets included $414,000 spent as part of normal replacement of our Information Technology infrastructure and headquarters facility improvements.  The remaining $222,000 was spent on our Oracle ERP implementation.

We expect to utilize a variety of common financing tools to fund acquisitions.  We believe our cash balances, expected free cash flows from operations, and available borrowing capacity will be our primary sources of capital.  However, we also expect to employ seller financing in the form of subordinated notes, earn-out agreements, indemnity hold-backs, and occasionally restricted stock and/or warrants.  The level to which we employ these various methods, particularly the use of our equity, will depend upon a multitude of factors which are unique to each negotiation.  In addition to the available capacity under our working capital line of credit, to finance investments beyond our current operating needs we believe we may have access to a variety of capital sources such as private placements of subordinated debt, and public or private sales of equity.equity to finance investments beyond our current needs.

 

Results of Operations

In the third quarter of fiscal 20092010 revenues were $17.2$20.9 million compared to $23.2$17.2 million in the third quarter 2008.2009.  Our net lossincome in the third quarter of fiscal 20092010 was $513,000, compared to a net loss of $8.6 million compared to net income of $591,000 compared toin the same quarter a year ago.  In the first nine months of the year, revenues were $53.5 million compared to $62.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  Our net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was $8.4 million compared to net income of $1.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  Net of the impairment charges and tax benefits recorded in the third quarter we incurred a non-GAAP net loss of $87,000 in the third quarter and generated non-GAAP net income of $98,000 year-to-date.  Apart from the impairment charges on goodwill and other assets of $14.0 million which are discussed above under “Overview”,recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, these results primarily reflect lower salesincreased services and equipment revenues partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs.  In the first nine months of commercial systems and lower commissions earned from the saleyear, revenues were $61.1 million compared to $53.5 million for the first nine months of Avaya post-warranty maintenance contracts.fiscal 2009.  Our net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $1.4 million compared to a net loss of $8.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.  The year-to-date results, were also impacted byexcluding the $350,000 bad debt provision associated with Nortel’s bankruptcy filing.impairment charge recorded in 2009, primarily reflect our strong first and third quarter results in all of our major revenue and gross profit categories.  The narrative below provides further explanation of these results.

Throughout fiscal 2008 we enjoyed strong commercial systems sales, installation revenues, and cabling revenues generatedhospitality customers as evidenced by the series of orders received from M-DCPS.  In total, these orders generated over $10 milliondecline in revenues for the Company during the year.  We have not received a similar order during fiscal 2009, making comparisons to last year’s results more difficult.  Additionally, 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 Nortel bankruptcy continues to severely 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 our product offering to Mitel products 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.  While we anticipate continued success in the hospitality market, given economic conditions, downward pressure on revenues in this segment may intensifysector.  The hospitality industry as a whole is experiencing cyclical weakness in demand and as such revenues may be at or less than historical levels in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.has limited its spending on new communications equipment and solutions.

Maintenance and time-and-materials (T&M)repair revenues increased 2% and decreased 0.3%, respectively12% in the third quarter and year-to-date periods.  This year-to-date performance reflects relatively flat revenues inthe continued success of our wholesale services programs and a modest declinerepair revenues as well as the addition to our base of maintenance customers associated with the purchase of Lorica in T&M service revenues.  We believe T&M revenues were influenced by general economic conditions as customers reduced spending on non-critical services.the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  We continue to aggressively market our national service footprint and multi-product line technical capabilities to end-users,existing and potential wholesale service partners such as network service providers, and large integrators of voice and data technologies.  In the third quarter we realized beneficial returns from the newintegrators.  We also continue to market our service programs with Marriott International and Lockheed Martin Corporation that we secured in the second quarter. Additionally, the acquired customer relationships from Summatis beneficially influenced our results.capabilities to end-users.  We expect growth in these new programs and relationships to positively impact our Contract & T&Mmaintenance and repair revenues for the foreseeable future.

 

Implementation revenues decreased 36% and 16%, respectivelyincreased 28% in the third fiscal quarter reflecting an increase in revenues from our Professional Services Organization (“PSO”) and relatively flat installation revenues.  For the year-to-date periods.  These declines, while significant, reflect a lower rate of decline than the corresponding decreaseperiod, Implementation revenues increased 36% reflecting an increase in systems sales, traditionally the primary driver of these revenues.revenues from PSO.  We attribute this to increasing demand for more complex communications systems requiring significant fee-generating design and engineering services provided by our Professional Services Organization (“PSO”).services.  In the near term, Implementation revenues will continue to be closely aligned with the sale of new systems.  From a long term perspective, however, as customers displace conventional communications platforms and adopt more complex systems, we anticipate growth in this area of our business through the fee-based utilization of these highly skilled technical resources.

 

Cabling revenues decreased 28%increased 8% and 7%9%, respectively in the third fiscal quarter and year-to-date periods.  The third quarter declineThese increases are primarily from a new wholesale service program added late in cabling revenues is primarily associated with the difficult comparisons to fiscal 2008 which were helped significantly by the M-DCPS orders as discussed above.2009.

Gross margins earned on Services revenues reflect mixed results between improved margins earned on our contract & T&M services which were offset by significantly lower margins earned on implementation activities.  As a result of improved cost controls and reduced headcounts, we earned higher gross margins on our contract & T&M services revenues in the third quarter and in the year-to-date periods.  However, due to lower utilization of installation and professional services personnel in the implementation department and difficult comparisons to the third quarter of fiscal 2008, our gross margins in this area suffered dramatically in the third quarter.  For the year-to-date period implementation gross margins are also down, but cost reductions and on-boarding the new Samsung service program have helped to dampen the impact of lower revenues in this area.  Similar to the Samsung program, developing additional billable consulting services which are not directly associated with new system installations is an important aspect of our services strategy to create more predictability and higher gross margins in this area.

Gross margins on systems sales in the third quarter and the year-to-date periods are above our target of 23% to 25% for systems revenues.  We continueOur consistent performance above our expected targets in this area is due to receive considerabledisciplined pricing practices and pricing support received from our manufacturers in the form of project-specific discounts and incentive rebates.rebates which are recorded as reductions to cost of goods sold.  These discounts and incentives are material to our gross margins.

Gross margins earned on Services revenues primarily reflect an increase in recurring service revenues combined with improved cost controls, the use of third party Quality Service Partners, and we work diligentlyimproved utilization of our professional services personnel for consulting and fee-based engagements.  These items contributed to maximize this support; however, no assurance can be given that future support will continue at historical levels.gross Services margins in our target range of 30-35%.

 

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 three quarters of fiscal 2009 we experienced a dramatic drop in other revenues as compared to the same period last year.  Some decline in this segment was expected as we benefited from accelerated customer decisions throughout 2008.  In 2008 many customers accelerated their purchases or renewals of Avaya service contracts in anticipation of manufacturer-driven changes in the structure of these service programs.  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.

The level ofsatisfaction has resulted in our operating expenses as a percentage of revenues is aboveto continue to exceed our targets and we took steps in the third quarter to bring these costs more in line with our expectations.  These steps included reductions of our sales force and sales support staffs, company-wide temporary suspension of the matching contribution on our 401k Plan, and a mandatory week of unpaid leave for each employee in the company.  These steps were taken during the last half of the third quarter and had minimal impact to our third quarter results.  Presently, rapidly declining systems sales make it difficult to meet our targets for operating expenses as a percent of revenues.  Furthermore, wetargets.  We consider it tactically appropriate, given our strong cash flows, to support operating expenses above our targets in the near term to take advantage of improving economic conditions in subsequent quarters.capitalize on these opportunities to expand our revenues and increase our net profit margins.

ITEM 4T.4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Based on an evaluation conducted as of July 31, 20092010 by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are effective to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Controls.  There were no changes in our internal controls during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls over financial reporting.

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 less approximately $116,000 in approved offsets for amounts we owedOn July 12, 2010 Nortel filed its plan of reorganization which was essentially a plan of liquidation.  This matter poses a variety of risks to Nortel at the time of the filing.  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.  Based on filings approved by the bankruptcy court allowing Nortel to fund post-petition business, operations, we have continued to provide services to Nortel’s end-user customers under our wholesale services relationship, which currently produces approximately $3 million in annual revenues.  To date, payment for these services have been paid generally according to their terms which were significantly tightened after the filing.as follows:

 

The administrators of the bankruptcy have adopted a business disposal strategy.  Under this strategy, the administrators have segmented Nortel into three business units: Virtual Service Switches, CDMA businesses and Enterprise Solutions.  We conduct all of our Nortel business through the Enterprise Solutions unit.    On July 21, 2009, the administrators of the bankruptcy announced they had entered into a stalking horse assets and share sale agreement with Avaya for the Enterprise Solutions unit and this process is proceeding.  Due to the nature of the stalking horse auction process, a final determination of the purchaser of the Enterprise Solutions unit is not expected until near the end of our fiscal year.  Because neither Avaya nor other potential bidders have publicly stated their operating and marketing strategy should they prevail in the auction process, it is impossible for us to predict the impact of this process to our business.  We believe we can present compelling value propositions to any potential purchaser of Nortel enterprise business unit, but the ultimate success of those strategies cannot be assured.

·

Uncertainty surrounding Nortel’s bankruptcy has significantly dampened demand for equipment in this product line as existing Nortel customers evaluate costs and risks associated with maintaining their commitment to the Nortel platform and the associated Avaya product roadmap versus transitioning their installed based to other manufacturers’ platform.

·

We are owed approximately $717,000 in pre-petition accounts receivable less approximately $116,000 in approved offsets for amounts we owed to Nortel at the time of the filing. Nortel’s July 12 filing classifies our claim as a Class 3 “General Unsecured” claim. As such, our claim will be impaired and any distribution made by Nortel to Class 3 unsecured creditors will be shared among such creditors on a pro-rata basis. We do not know the extent to which this receivable will be impaired but it is apparent we will not collect the full amount. If this claim is not collectible in large part, we could experience material, negative operating results in the near term.

·

Nortel has filed a statement of financial affairs under which it shows payments to the Company against multiple invoices of approximately $1.6 million which were made during the 90-day statutory “preference period” under bankruptcy law. XETA’s figure for these payments is $1.14 million. As such, these payments are considered “preference payments” and are subject to a “preference claim” which can be asserted by Nortel. Bankruptcy law allows the debtor to recover these payments unless the creditor successfully establishes that the payments were made in the ordinary course of business between the debtor and creditor or if the payments were offset by subsequent new value given by XETA in the form of goods or services. If Nortel elects to assert a preference claim against the Company for this amount or any portion thereof and the Company is unable to successfully defend the claim, the Company would have to return any such amounts to Nortel.

·

Avaya’s purchase of the Nortel enterprise solution business (“NES”) may result in a significant disruption and/or material decline in our revenues and gross profits. NES is both one of our major suppliers and is an important customer in that NES outsources significant volumes of service calls to us under various managed services programs that NES has with end-user customers. Avaya and NES are large, complex companies with global operations. They have had very different marketing strategies and both have long, deep cultural traditions. The integration of these two companies will be challenging and disruptive to the market. There can be no assurance given that the combination of Avaya and NES will not have near-term and/or long-term material, negative impact on our operating results, financial position, market position, and overall reputation.

 

Avaya’s strategies regarding the provision of equipment and services to their customers are changing and could have a material impact on our operating results.20
