SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Entrada Networks, Inc., the "Company," "We," "Our" or "Us," has prepared, without audit, the accompanying financial data for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The January 31, 2004 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, b ut does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2004.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of October 31, 2004 and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, have been made. The results of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2004 are not nec essarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements." This pronouncement requires the consolidation of variable interest entities, as defined, and is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2002, and for variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We have no variable interest entities and thus this interpretation does not have a material impact our financial statements.

TREASURY STOCK
During September 2004, the Company re-issued 125,000 of our 192,948 treasury shares at cost to Core Capital Holdings, LLC for payment of fees in connection with the short-term debt issued in May 2004. The fair value of the re-issued treasury shares are included in deferred financing costs in the amount of $16. We had 67,948 treasury shares at October 31, 2004.
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
We are authorized to issue the following shares of stock:
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock
2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
During the quarter ended October 31, 2004, the Company issued 15,000,000 warrants in connection with the placement of $750 in debt and 10,000,000 warrants in connection with the Trilogy letter of engagement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 17, 2004. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes method using the following parameters:
Risk free interest rate: | 4.75% |
Stock volatility: | 183% |
Expected dividend yield: | 0.0% |
The relative fair value of these warrants relating to the $750 note of $237 was recorded as deferred financing costs. The deferred financing cost related to the warrants will be amortized over the six (6) month life of the short-term debt issued October 4, 2004.

ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (In Thousands except share data) |
We had net loss of $690 and $2,369, respectively, for the three month and nine month period ended October 31, 2004 and a net loss of $230 and $543, respectively, for the three month and nine month period ended October 31, 2003. Accordingly, the effect of dilutive securities including vested and non-vested stock options to acquire common stock are not included in the calculation of EPS.
Options to purchase common shares that were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per shares because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period each option was outstanding were 3,235767 and 2,577,900 for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2004 and 2,134,345 and 902,682 for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2003, respectively.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On January 30, 2004, we borrowed an aggregate of $500 from Hong Kong League Central Credit Union ("HKL"), HIT Credit Union ("HIT") and Shelly Singhal. In connection with this transaction, we issued a warrant to SBI Advisors, LLC ("SBI") to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock to Shelly Singhal. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.35 per share and expire on February 5, 2007. Mr. Singhal has assigned his rights with respect to 25,000 of our shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant issued to Mr. Singhal to each of Jon Buttles and Matt McGovern. All of our shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued in this debt fi nancing are being registered for resale pursuant to a registration statement on Form SB-2 we filed on November 26, 2004. The funds from this debt financing were used primarily for working capital.
On May 14, 2004, we borrowed an additional $1,000 from HKL and Brightline Bridge Partners I, LLC ("Brightline"). In connection with this transaction, we issued a warrant to purchase 3,450,000 of our shares of common stock to SBI Brightline IV, LLC ("SBI Brightline") and a warrant to purchase 1,550,000 shares of our common stock to Brightline. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.16 per share and will expire on May 13, 2007.In addition, we issued 125,000 shares of our common stock for advisory fees in connection with the transaction, which shares are held of record by Core Capital Holdings, LLC. Brightline has assigned its rights under the warrant issued to Brightline.
On October 4, 2004, we borrowed an additional $750 from HKL. In connection with this transaction, we issued a warrant to SBI, or its designees, to purchase 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.10. SBI has designated Jon Buttles, David F. Evans, Crestwood Children’s Trust and McGovern Living Trust (dated September 28, 2004) to each receive a warrant to purchase 3,750,000 shares of our common stock. We are registering the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants for resale pursuant to a registration statement on Form SB-2 we filed on November 26, 2004. The funds from this debt financing will be used primarily for working capital and the reduction of our outstanding debt.
Our Silicon Valley Bank credit facility has a maximum limit of $2.0 million, subject to a limitation equal to 65% of our eligible borrowing base. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5% (7.25% at October 31, 2004). In connection with the line of credit, we issued Silicon Valley Bank five-year warrants to purchase 75,757 shares of our common stock at $3.30 per share. The warrants were valued at $54 at the time of issuance. The $54 of deferred financing cost was amortized as interest expense over the twelve month term of the credit arrangement in the fiscal year 2002. The credit arrangement is subject to covenants regarding our tangible net worth, and is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipme nt. In March 2003, the bank increased our eligible receivables limit to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. On April 19, 2004, our bank lowered our required minimum tangible net worth to $2.5 million. As of October 31, 2004, the bank had waived the tangible net worth covenant until December 17, 2004. The credit facility expired on October 31, 2004 but its maturity was extended to December 17, 2004 to provide time to renew the credit facility. The bank has agreed to amend the current loan facility and will provide a new one.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations, but as of October 31, 2004 we had a positive working capital of $110. We recognize that in order to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional funding is necessary. We are exploring additional sources of liquidity, through debt and equity financing alternatives and filed on November 26, 2004, an SB-2 to register 30,500,000 shares of our common stock for the warrants we have issued. If we are (i) unable to grow our business or improve our operating cash flows as expected, (ii) unsuccessful in restructuring all or the necessary and required portion of the debt repayments due in January and March 2005 in the aggregate principal amounts of $1.125 million and $750, respecti vely, or (iii) unable to raise additional funds through offerings of our common stock, then we may be unable to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it will be on terms favorable to us and to our stockholders.

ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (In Thousands except share data) |
In the event we are not able to raise sufficient cash to fund our operations for three months beyond January 31, 2006, our independent auditor has indicated to us that its opinion on the January 31, 2005 financial statements will express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from operations, or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us, these failures would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders would be diluted.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." In the course of business the Company has contractual guarantees in the form of warranties. However, these warranties are limited and do not represent significant commitments or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of others and consequently the company does not expect warranty cost to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements
Under its bylaws, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director’s serving in such capacity. In addition, the Company has indemnification agreements with four of its directors that requires, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify them to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by its bylaws and the Delaware Corporation Code. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company has a directors and officer liability insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of October 31, 2004.
The Company enters into indemnification provisions under (i) its agreements with other companies in its ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors, and customers, landlords and (ii) its agreements with investors. Under these provisions the Company generally indemnifies and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company's activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party's activities under the agreement. These indemnification provisions often include indemnifications relating to representations made by the Company with regard to intellectual property rights. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. In addition, in some cases, the Company has agreed to reimburse employees for certain expenses and to provide salary continuation during short-term disability. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of October 31, 2004.
In the merger agreement between Sync Research and our former parent, Sorrento Networks Corporation, Sorrento agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless against any liability arising after the merger in connection with the termination of a certain frozen defined pension plan maintained by Rixon. In July 2004, Zhone Technologies, Inc. acquired Sorrento. A consultant retained by Sorrento and by the successor corporation to the entity from whom Sorrento originally purchased the company that became Rixon, had advised Sorrento and the successor corporation that the cost of termination of the pension plan in question could be in excess of $3 million. We do not believe that we are responsible for this termination cost or for the failure by Sorrento and Zhone to make required contributions to the plan. However, to date we have voluntarily administered the plan.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. As regards the former, we place our temporary cash investments with high credit financial institutions. At times such amounts may exceed F.D.I.C. limits.
Although we are directly affected by the economic well being of significant customers listed in the following tables, management does not believe that significant credit risk exists at October 31, 2004. We perform ongoing evaluations of our customers and require letters of credit or other collateral arrangements as appropriate.

An allocation of $1.1 million to Goodwill has been made. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually.
There was no acquired in-process research and development in the Microtek acquisition and accordingly no expenses have been charged to the Company’s operations.
The following attributes of the acquisition of Microtek were considered significant factors to the establishment of the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill:
· Its solution sales include certain additional products and technologies that shall allow us to make more comprehensive products and services sales, and pursue expanded market opportunities.
· The ability to hire its workforce which includes a number of experienced engineering, sales and technical staff with specialized knowledge of the sectors in which we plan to operate.
· Operating synergies are anticipated to arise and are likely to include cost savings.
Microtek’s operations have been included in the company’s financial results from the date of acquisition through the quarter ended October 31, 2004.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section below, some of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forecast or anticipated in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the technical and commercial success of our current and future products, reliance on vendors and product lines, competition, performance of new products, performance of affiliates and their future operating results, our ability to establish successful strategic alliances, dependence on senior management and possible volatility of stock price.
WE WISH TO CAUTION READERS NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE MADE. SUCH STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM HISTORICAL EARNINGS AND THOSE PRESENTLY ANTICIPATED OR PROJECTED. THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ARE DESCRIBED IN THE SECTION ENTITLED "RISK FACTORS," BELOW. WE SPECIFICALLY DECLINE ANY OBLIGATION TO PUBLICLY RELEASE THE RESULT OF ANY REVISIONS THAT MAY BE MADE TO ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT ANTICIPATED OR UNANTICIPATED EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES OCCURRING AFTER THE DATE OF SUCH STATEMENTS, OR TO UPDATE THE REASONS WHY ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER FROM THOSE PROJECTED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making a decision to buy or sell our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, it is likely that our business, financial condition and operating results would be harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks described below address some of the factors that may affect our future operating results and financial performance.
We may not be able to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms.We may be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could interfere with our existing and planned operations, dilute our stockholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business. Historically, we have relied upon cash from financing activities to fund most of the cash requirements of our operating and investing activities. Although we have been able to generate some but not sufficient cash from our operating activities in the recent past, there is no assurance we will be able to do so in the futur e.
General economic conditions may cause declines in investor confidence in and accessibility to capital markets. Further, because our common stock is not listed on a national exchange, the ability of any potential or future investors to achieve liquidity from our common stock is limited, which could inhibit, if not preclude, our ability to raise additional working capital on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.
Any future financing may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to our common stock would likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility in the operation and management of our business. At a minimum, we expect these covenants to include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we have paid, and will continue to be required to pay, interest on all amounts borrowed in debt financings, and the obligation to repay such interest could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, finan cial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
If adequate funds are not available, we may also be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations and product development efforts or to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or potential products or other assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain this financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our proprietary technology and other important assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund our continued operations and our product development efforts that historically have contributed significantly to our competitiveness.
We have limited working capital.Our working capital is limited and we are constantly challenged in executing our business plan. Additionally, our working capital does not allow us to fund significant organic growth opportunities or to cope with unforeseen contingencies. Unless we are able to secure additional external financing, for which there can be no assurance, we could be constrained in pursuing our business strategy and new opportunities aggressively.
13 | ||
Our ability to continue as a going concern.We have reevaluated and refocused our strategy in light of our current difficult financial condition. We believe that our strategy is viable and can be achieved. Nevertheless, unless we are able to improve revenue levels, cut further costs and raise additional capital to fund future operations, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient liquidity and resources to successfully execute our plan and our plan may have to be severely curtailed.
We anticipate that our available cash resources will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated capital requirements for the next twelve months. However, we have suffered recurring losses from operations. As of October 31, 2004 we had a positive working capital of $110,000. We recognize that in order to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional funding is necessary. We are exploring additional sources of liquidity, through debt and equity financing alternatives. If we are (i) unable to grow our business or improve our operating cash flows as expected, (ii) unsuccessful in restructuring all or the necessary and required portion of the debt repayments due in January and March 2005 in the aggregate principal amounts of $1.125 million and $750,000, respectively, or (iii) u nable to raise additional funds through offerings of our common stock, then we may be unable to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it will be on terms favorable to our stockholders and us.
In the event we are not able to raise sufficient cash to fund our operations for three months beyond January 31, 2006, our independent auditor has indicated to us that its opinion on the January 31, 2005 financial statements will express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from operations, or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us, these failures would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders would be diluted.
Our strategy to increasingly focus on the operations of Torrey Pines and restore the operations of Rixon to profitability involves risk and may not be successful.We have increasingly focused on the operations of Torrey Pines and its efforts to develop transport products for the storage area network and metropolitan network marketplace. We have also focused on restoring the operations of Rixon to profitability. We may be unsuccessful with this strategy. We may be unsuccessful in commercializing our optical Silverline™ storage area network and metropolitan area network transport product line and we ma y not be able to bring the operations of Rixon back to profitability through increased sales efforts and reduced overhead.
We rely on a relatively limited number of customers, and the loss of any significant customer could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenues and accounts receivable from a relatively limited number of customers. The loss of one or more of these customers, or their inability to pay for our products and services, could have a material and adverse effect on our operating and financial results. In fact, Cisco Systems, our single largest customer during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, discontinued purchasin g an adapter card from us starting from the third quarter of our fiscal year ended January 31, 2004. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2004, Cisco Systems accounted for approximately 56.7% of our consolidated net revenues.
Cisco System’s failure to continue purchasing our adapter card has had a major negative impact on our revenues, cash flow and operating results, and because this product line was near the end of its life cycle, there is no expectation that the sales of this original equipment manufacturer product line will be restored to its former levels.
The inventory of raw materials and finished goods at hand exclusive of the adapter card shipments to Cisco amounts to approximately $0.3 million and is deemed necessary and/or sufficient for replacements in the field that our customers request from time to time. Therefore, we do not believe that the impact of any future markdowns on this inventory will be material.
Our industry is highly competitive, and we may not have the resources required to compete successfully. The market for network connectivity products and services and storage area network transport equipment is extremely competitive and we expect competition to continue to intensify in the future. Our primary competitors include Adaptec, Intel Corporation, Interphase, CNT, Vixel, ADVA, Ciena, TransMode, Pandatel, Finisar, and MRV Communications. We may also face competition from a number of other companies that have announced plans for new products to address the same problems that our products address. Ma ny of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater resources, name recognition and customer relationships than us. In particular, established companies in the telecommunications equipment or computing industries may seek to expand their product offerings by designing and selling products using competitive technology that could render our products obsolete or have a material adverse effect on our revenues. We also face competition from numerous solution providers in the Midwest.
14 | ||
We operate in a market where emerging companies enter the markets in which we are competing and new products and technologies areintroduced.Increased competition may result in further price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business operations or financial results. There are many competitors and p otential competitors that are well funded and which may be able to "leap frog" beyond the technologies upon which we currently rely.
Our business will be seriously harmed if we are not able to develop and commercialize new or enhanced products.Our growth depends on our ability to successfully develop new or enhanced products. Our next generation of network management products and coarse wavelength division multiplexing products are under development. We cannot be sure whether these or other new products will be successfully developed and introduced to the market on a timely basis or at all. We will need to complete each of the following steps to successfully commercialize new products: complete product development, qualify and establi sh component suppliers, validate manufacturing methods, conduct extensive quality assurance and reliability testing, complete any software validation, and demonstrate systems interoperability.
If we do not develop these products in a timely manner, our competitive position and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition, as we introduce new or enhanced products, we must also manage the transition from older products to newer products. If we fail to do so, we may disrupt customer-ordering patterns or may not be able to ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered to meet anticipated customer demand. Any failure to effectively manage this transition may cause us to lose current and prospective customers.
We maintain high levels of inventory with low turnover.We have historically maintained high levels of inventory to meet the output requirements of our customers over which we have little influence and to support our older, or legacy, products already in service. Many of our products require custom parts with long lead times, and our inventory levels allow us to provide fast response to our customer needs. While we continually review our reserves for conservative valuations, significant changes in customer demand for our products could adversely and materially affect our business operations or financial r esults.
Except for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2003, we incurred net losses over the recent past and may experience future losses.We have incurred losses from continuing operations during the nine months ended October 31, 2004 of $1.6 million, during the twelve months ended January 31, 2004 of approximately $2.0 million, and for the year ended January 31, 2002 of approximately $7.3 million. We have financed these losses through a combination of debt issuances, bank lines of credit and security placements. However, there can be no assurance that our working capital requirements will not exceed our ability to generate sufficient cash to support our requirements and the needed capital will have to be obtained from additional external sources.
Our future growth depends on our ability to attract new customers, and on our customers' ability to sell additional services to their own customers.Most of our potential customers evaluate our network connectivity and storage area products for integrated deployment in larger systems. There are a limited number of potential customers for our products. If we are not selected by a potential customer for a particular system project, our business may be seriously harmed. Similarly, our growth depends on our customers' success in selling integrated solutions based on our products and complementary products fro m others. We believe that our success will depend on our ability to effectively anticipate and adapt to customer requirements and offer products and services that meet customer demands. Any failure of our current or prospective customers to purchase products from us for any reason, including a downturn in their business, would seriously harm our ability to grow our business.
The time that our customers and potential customers require for testing and qualification before purchasing our networking products can be long and variable, which may cause our results of operations to be unpredictable.Before purchasing our products, potential customers must undertake a lengthy evaluation, testing and product qualification process. In addition, potential customers require time-consuming field trials of our products. Our sales effort requires the effective demonstration of the benefits of our products to, and significant training of, potential customers. In addition, the timing of deploy ment depends on many factors, including the sophistication of a customer and the complexity and size of a customer's networks. Our sales cycle, which is the period from the time a sales lead is generated until the recognition of revenue, often exceeds one year. The length and variability of our sales cycle is beyond our control and is affected by, among other things, our customers' build out and deployment schedules, our customers' access to product purchase financing, our customers' needs for functional demonstration and field trials, and the manufacturing lead time for our products. Because our sales cycles are long and variable, our results of operations may be unpredictable.
Our products may have errors or defects that we find only after deployment, which could seriously harm our business.Our products can only be fully tested after deployment. Our customers may discover errors or defects in our products, and our products may not operate as expected. If we are unable to fix errors or other problems that may be identified, we could experience loss of or delay in revenues and loss of market share, loss of customers, failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance, diversion of engineering resources, increased service and warranty costs, and legal actions by our cu stomers. Any failure of our current or planned products to operate as expected could delay or prevent their adoption and seriously harm our business.
15 | ||
If our products do not fully work with, or interoperate with, our customers' systems, installations will be delayed or canceled or our products could be returned.Many of our customers require that our products be designed to work or interoperate with their existing networks, each of which may have different specifications and utilize a variety of protocols. Our customers' networks contain multiple generations of products that have been added over time as these networks have grown and evolved. Our products must work or interoperate with all of the products within these networks as well as future products in order to meet our customers' requirements. If we are required to modify our product design to be compatible with our customers' systems to achieve a sale, it may result in a longer sales cycle, increased research and development expense and reduced margins on our products. If our products do not fully work or interoperate with those of our customers' networks, installations could be delayed, orders for our products could be canceled or our products could be returned, any of which could seriously harm our business.
If we fail to establish and successfully maintain strategic alliances, our business may be harmed.Strategic alliances are an important part of our effort to expand our revenue opportunities and technological capabilities given our limited resources to commercialize our products and reach the market. We cannot be certain that we will be able to enter strategic alliances on terms that are favorable to us. Our business may be harmed if we fail to establish and maintain strategic alliances that extend our reach.
Our business may be seriously harmed if we are unable to establish successful relationships with distributors and systems integrators.We believe that our future success is dependent upon our ability to establish successful relationships with a variety of distributors and systems integrators. As we expand domestically and internationally, we will increasingly depend on distributors and systems integrators. If we are unable to establish and expand these relationships, we may not be able to increase market awareness or sales of our products, which may prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability.
Our business for storage area networking products may be seriously harmed if the market for storage area networking products does not develop as we expect.Our planned product offerings are focused on the needs of customers that service storage area networks. The market for storage area networking products is new, and we cannot be certain that a viable market for our products will develop or be sustainable. If this market does not develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business may be seriously harmed. Furthermore, the storage area networking industry is subject to rapid technological change and newer technology or products developed by others could render our products uncompetitive or obsolete. If the standards adopted are different from those that we have chosen to support, market acceptance of our products would be significantly reduced and our business would be seriously harmed.
We depend upon contract manufacturers, and any disruption in these relationships may cause us to fail to meet the demands of our customers and damage our customer relationships.We use contract manufacturers to manufacture and assemble our products in accordance with our specifications. We do not have long-term contracts with any of them, and none of them are obligated to perform services for us for any specific period or at any specified price, except as may be provided in a particular purchase order. We may not be able to effectively manage our relationships with these manufacturers and they may not mee t our future requirements for timely delivery or provide us with the quality of products that our customers and we require.
Each of our contract manufacturers also builds products for other companies. We cannot be certain that they will always have sufficient quantities of inventory available to fill our orders on a timely basis. Qualifying a new contract manufacturer and commencing volume production is expensive and time consuming and could result in a significant interruption in the supply of our products. If we are required to change contract manufacturers, we may suffer delays that could lead to the loss of revenue and damage our customer relationships.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers for some of our components, and our business may be seriously harmed if our supply of any of these components is disrupted.The major components of our products include circuit boards, microprocessors, chipsets, and memory components among other components. Most of these components are available from multiple sources. However, some components used in our products are obtained from single or limited sources and may from time to time be in short supply. We have from time to time experienced, and are experiencing, difficulty in obtaining some components. We do not hav e guaranteed supply arrangements with any of our suppliers, and we cannot assure you that our suppliers will continue to meet our requirements. Shortages of components could not only limit our production capacity but also could result in higher costs due to the higher costs of components in short supply or the need to use higher-cost substitute components. Significant increases in the prices of components could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations because we may not be able to adjust product pricing to reflect the increases in component costs. Also, an extended interruption in the supply of components or a reduction in their quality or reliability would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations by impairing our ability to timely deliver quality products to our customers. Delays in deliveries due to shortages of components or other factors may result in cancellation by our customers of all or part of their orders. Although customers who purchase from us products that are not readily available from other sources would be less likely than other customers of ours to cancel their orders due to production delays, we cannot assure you that cancellations will not occur.
16 | ||
The availability of many of these components to us is dependent in part by our ability to provide suppliers with accurate forecasts of our future requirements. In the event of a disruption in supply or if we receive an unexpectedly high level of purchase orders, we may not be able to develop an alternate source in a timely manner or at favorable prices. Any of these events could hurt our ability to deliver our products to our customers and negatively affect our operating margins. In addition, our reliance on our suppliers exposes us to potential supplier production difficulties or quality variations. Any such disruption in supply would seriously impact our present and future sales.
In addition, we have from time to time received from manufacturers "last buy" notices that indicate that one or more components that we incorporate into our products will be discontinued.
If we are unable to participate in a last buy or are unable to purchase an adequate quantity of last buy components to cover our needs until the time, if any, that we are able to find an appropriate substitute component that works with the current design of our product or to redesign our product to allow for use of a substitute component, we may have to eliminate the product from our product line. We believe that with respect to many of our single source components, we could obtain similar components from other sources. However, in response to past last buy notices, we have been working to alter product designs on some of our products to allow us to use alternative components. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our redesign of these products or that we will not experience difficulti es associated with future last buys. Further, we cannot assure you that future severe shortages of components that could increase the cost or delay the shipment of our products will not occur.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property, which could limit our ability to compete. We hold nine patents and have two patents pending for our Silverline™ product design. Although we attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through patents, trademarks, and copyrights, by maintaining certain technology as trade secrets and by other measures, we cannot assure you that any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights owned by us will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged; that such intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to u s; or that any of our future patent applications, if any, will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all. We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, or that our competitors will not duplicate our technology or "design around" the patents that we own. In addition, effective patent, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries in which we do business or intend to do business in the future.
We believe that the future success of our business will depend on our ability to translate the technological expertise and innovation of our personnel into new and enhanced products. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology. In the future, we may take legal action to enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could harm our business and operating results.
We could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights, which could seriously harm our business and require us to incur significant costs.In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. We may be a party to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property or as a result of an allegation that we infringe others' intellectual property. Any parties asserting that our products infringe upon their proprietary rights would force us to defend ourselves, and possibly our customers or manufactu rers against the alleged infringement. These claims and any resulting lawsuits, if successful, could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights. Additionally, any claims and lawsuits, regardless of their merits, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management time and attention.
Any claims of infringement of the intellectual property of others could also force us to do one or more of the following: stop selling, incorporating or using our products that use the challenged intellectual property; obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property right a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which may not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all; or redesign the infringing products that use such technology. If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, our business may be seriously harmed.
The markets that our products address are governed by regulations and evolving industry standards.The market for our products is highly regulated and industry standards are intensive, with many standards evolving as new technologies are deployed. In the United States, our products must comply with various regulations defined by the Federal Communications Commission and standards established by Underwriters Laboratories. In addition, there are industry standards established by various organizations such as Fibre Channel Industry Association, American National Standards Institute, and Internet Engineering Task Force. We design our products in an effort to comply with those industry standards so that each particular product can be accepted by its intended customer. To the extent non-compliance with such standards has a detrimental effect on customer acceptance, we must address such non-compliance in the design of our products. Standards for new services and network management are still evolving. However, as the standards evolve, we will be required to modify our products or develop and support new versions of our products. The failure of our products to comply or delays in compliance could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
17 | ||
Our future revenues are unpredictable and our financial results may fluctuate.Our revenue and operating results could fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter and from year to year. This could result from any one or a combination of factors such as our development and the sale of new technologies and the cancellation or postponement of orders, the timing and amount of significant orders from our largest customers, our success in developing, introducing and shipping product enhancements and new products, the mix of products we sell, new product introductions by competitors, pricing actions taken by us or our competitors, the timing of delivery and availability of components from suppliers, changes in material costs and general economic conditions.
Our business may be adversely affected by competitive pressures, which we must react to.The industry we compete in is characterized by declining prices of existing products. Therefore continual improvements of manufacturing efficiencies and introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products are required to maintain gross margins. In response to customer demands or competitive pressures, or to pursue new product or market opportunities, we may take certain pricing or marketing actions, such as price reductions, volume discounts, or provisions of services at below market rates. These action s could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to take advantage of distribution channels for our products, sales of our products may decline or fail to increase.We channel many of our products through a network of distribution outlets. We are continuing to develop and solidify our relationships with certified resellers, distributors and system integrators, many of which are part of a worldwide distribution network. To the extent we are unsuccessful in our efforts to create or maintain an adequate quality and quantity of these relationships, sales of our products may decline or fail to increase as we work to esta blish effective channels to market.
We rely heavily on our management and board of directors, and the loss of any of their services could materially and adversely affect our business.Our success is highly dependent upon the continued services of key members of our management and board of directors, including our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, Dr. Kanwar J.S. Chadha, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Davinder Sethi, and Mr. James Dziak, President of Microtek Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Torrey Pines subsidiary. The loss of Dr. Chadha, Dr. Sethi or Mr. Dziak or one or more other key members of our management or board of directors could have a material adverse effect on us because each of these individuals has experience and skills upon which we draw heavily in our day-to-day operations and/or strategic planning activities. We do not maintain key-man life insurance policies on any member of management. Our ability to pay cash compensation to retain key members of our management and board of directors is limited by our cash flows.
Our common stock price is subject to significant volatility, which could result in substantial losses for investors.The stock market as a whole and individual stocks historically have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which often have been unrelated to the performance of the related corporations. During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2004 the high and low closing sale prices of our common stock were $0.17 and $0.08,respectively and for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, the high and low closing sale prices of our common stock were $0.40 and $0.11, respectively. The market price of our common stock may exhibit significant fluctuations in the future in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which include:
o | Variations in our quarterly operating results, which variations could result from, among other things, changes in the needs of one or more of our customers; |
o | Changes in market valuations of similar companies and stock market price and volume fluctuations generally; |
o | Economic conditions specific to the industries in which we operate; |
o | Announcements by us or our competitors of new or enhanced products, technologies or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
o | Regulatory developments; |
o | Additions or departures of key personnel; and |
o | Future sales of our common stock or other debt or equity securities. |
18 | ||
If our operating results in future quarters fall below the expectations of market makers and investors, the price of our common stock likely will decline, perhaps substantially. In the past, securities class action lawsuits have often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. We may in the future be the targets of similar lawsuits. Securities lawsuits could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources. Consequently, the price at which you purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your shares of common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
Shares of our common stock eligible or to become eligible for public sale could adversely affect our stock price and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital through sales of equity securities. As of December 1, 2004, we had outstanding 15,430,076 shares of common stock, a substantial portion of which were unrestricted, were eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, or were registered for resale or issued with registration rights. Disregarding beneficial ownership limitations that apply to some holders of our derivative securities, as of December 1, 2004, we also had outstanding options and warrants that were exercisable for or convertible into approximately 34,117,165 shares of common stock, nearly all of which were issued with registration rights. Sales of a su bstantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price for our common stock. Any adverse effect on the market price for our common stock could make it difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
We may authorize a significant number of additional shares of common stock. In the near future, we may request that our stockholders authorize an amendment to our certificate of incorporation in order to increase the number of our authorized common stock. We currently have authorized 50,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 1, 2004, we had issued and outstanding 15,430,076 shares of common stock, as well as stock options and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 34,117,165 additional shares of common stock. Increasing the number of authorized shares of our common stock would enable our Board of Directors to issue additional share s of our common stock, or rights to acquire our common stock, up to the number of authorized shares, the effect of which will be to dilute the share holdings or our stockholders, which may adversely affect the market price of our stock.
Because our stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, you may find it difficult to dispose of or obtain quotations for our common stock.Our common stock trades under the symbol "ESAN" on the OTC Bulletin Board. Because our stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board rather than on a national securities exchange or on NASDAQ, you may find it difficult to either dispose of, or to obtain quotations as to the price of, our common stock.
Because we are subject to the "Penny Stock" rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a se curity subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

Overview
Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
We have suffered recurring losses from operations, but as of October 31, 2004 we had a positive working capital of $110,000. We recognize that in order to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional funding is necessary. We are exploring additional sources of liquidity, through debt and equity financing alternatives and filed on November 26, 2004, an SB-2 to register 30,500,000 shares of our common stock for the warrants we have issued. If we are (i) unable to grow our business or improve our operating cash flows as expected, (ii) unsuccessful in restructuring all or the necessary and required portion of the debt repayments due in January and March 2005 in the aggregate principal amounts of $1.125 million and $750,000, respectively, or (iii) unable to raise additional funds through offerings of our common stock, then we may be unable to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it will be on terms favorable to us and to our stockholders.
Our Silicon Valley Bank credit facility has a maximum limit of $2.0 million, subject to a limitation equal to 65% of our eligible borrowing base. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5% (7.25% at October 31, 2004). The credit arrangement was subject to covenants regarding our tangible net worth, and is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. In March 2003, the bank increased our eligible receivables limit to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. On April 19, 2004, our bank lowered our required minimum tangible net worth to $2.5 million. As of October 31, 2004, the bank had waived the tangible net worth covenant until December 17, 2004. The credit facility expired on October 31, 2004, but i ts maturity was extended to December 17, 2004 to provide time to renew the credit facility. The bank has agreed to amend and renew the current loan facility and will provide a new one.
In the event we are not able to raise sufficient cash to fund our operations for three months beyond January 31, 2006, our independent auditor has indicated to us that its opinion on the January 31, 2005 financial statements will express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from operations, or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us, these failures would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders would be diluted.
Our change in profitability
During the quarter ended October 31, 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc., our then single largest customer, discontinued purchasing from Rixon Networks, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary ("Rixon"), an adapter card Cisco previously purchased from Rixon.
Loss of Cisco as a customer of Rixon has had a material impact on our revenues and operating results.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2003, Cisco accounted for $3.5 million or 61.4% of our net revenues. Since May 2004, with the acquisition of Microtek Systems, Inc. we have added $1.8 million in revenues, but continue to trail behind our net revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2003.

In response to the loss of Cisco as a customer, we reduced our operating costs by $1.2 million in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. Following the loss of Cisco, we reduced our personnel and reviewed every expense item with the intent to reduce or eliminate it.
We have continued to reduce our overall operating expenses. There are added selling and marketing and administrative expenses related to our Torrey Pines subsidiary's acquisition of Microtek Systems Inc. on May 14, 2004.

Our change in strategies
During the last three fiscal years, we have increasingly focused on our Torrey Pines’ product development efforts in the storage area network and metropolitan network transport products marketplace. During fiscal year 2004 we re-evaluated this strategy.
For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will focus on the following strategic objectives:
21 | ||
· | Explore acquisition opportunities that fit into our existing technologies with emphasis on our SAN markets. We have retained the services of Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc. to implement a marketing program regarding our technology and, to the extent we request, to assist us in business development and capital raising and to provide strategic advisory and investor relations services. This strategic objective calls for acceleration of organic growth opportunities, especially in the storage area network transport product line where we are developing and marketing the Silverline™-CWDM product line, and actively pursuing acquisition opportunities to complement the current lines of our business. Consistent with this strategy, we acquired Microtek Systems, Inc. ("Microtek") in May 2004. Microtek provides solutions for security, digital imaging, information infrastructures, storage and disaster recovery. It has an established customer base across financial, healthcare and insurance sectors, particularly among clients in the Midwest. Microtek realized revenues of $3.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. From the acquisition date of May 14, 2004 to the quarter ended October 31, 2004, Microtek realized revenues of $1.8 million and net income of $137,000. |
· | Commercialize Torrey Pines' optical Silverline™ SAN and metropolitan area networks transport product line. |
· | Support and expand the security, storage and digital imaging solutions offered by Torrey Pines in order to enhance its revenue and profitability. |
· | Bring our Rixon operation back to profitability through increased sales efforts and reduced overhead. |
· | Maintain superior service and support for our Sync legacy products to sustain our recent Sync profitable track record. |
Results of Operations/Comparison of the Three Months Ended October 31, 2004 and 2003
Net revenues. Net revenues were $1.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 2004, compared with $0.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2003. The increase in net revenues resulted primarily from our Torrey Pines subsidiary’s acquisition of Microtek.
Our Sync Research net revenues from the frame relay and service business declined 20.7% to $0.28 million for the three months ended October 31, 2004 compared to $0.35 million net revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2003. The largest portion of the drop for the three months just ended came from a 23.1% drop in product net revenues. This drop is consistent with the anticipated decline in legacy product net revenues.
Our Rixon Networks net revenues are primarily from adapter card product revenues. These product revenues decreased 60.7% to $227 thousand for the three months ended October 31, 2004 from $0.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2003. This was primarily due to Cisco Systems, Inc. discontinued purchasing from us.
Our Torrey Pines Networks revenues increased from zero to $1.0 million. These revenues came from solution sales of storage, disaster recovery and security digital imaging products and services by Torrey Pines subsidiary, Microtek Systems.Torrey Pines had no revenues for the three month period ended October 31, 2003, because Torrey Pines did not acquire Microtek until May 2004.
Gross profit. Cost of revenues consists principally of the cost of components and subcontract assembly from outside manufacturers, in addition to in-house system integration, quality control, final testing and configuration. Gross profit was $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the three month period ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our gross margin was 46.9% for the three months ended October 31, 2004, compared with 40.1% for the three months ended October 31, 2003. The increase in gross margins resulted primarily from the Torrey Pines acquisi tion of Microtek, Inc.
Our Sync Research gross profit of $0.19 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2004 increased slightly by $27 thousand or 16.2% compared to $0.17 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2003. This was primarily due to lower service costs.
Our Rixon Networks gross profit of $82 thousand for the quarter ended October 31, 2004 decreased compared to a gross profit of $0.2 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2003. The percentage of gross profit is similar.
Our Torrey Pines Networks’ gross profit of $0.4 million was primarily from the acquisition of Microtek.
22 | ||
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, commissions to sales representatives, tradeshow expenses, facilities costs, and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased from $80 thousand, or 8.6% of net revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2003, to $139 thousand 9.0% of net revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2004.The dollar amount of decrease in selling and marketing expense was due to cost reductions implemented partially offset by the added selling and marketing expense of $67 thousand for Microtek Systems, Inc. The percentage increase reflects primarily the decline in total net revenue.
Engineering, research and development. Engineering, research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation related costs for engineering personnel, facilities costs, and materials used in the design, development and support of our technologies. Engineering, research and development expenses were $0.2 million, or 12.5% of net revenues, for the quarter ended October 31, 2004, compared with $0.3 million, or 27.9 % of net revenues, for the quarter ended October 31, 2003. The decrease in engineering, research and development was primarily due to h olding our engineering efforts to the development of Torrey Pines storage area network products.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, legal and accounting fees and public company costs. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.4 million to $0.7 million or 43.5% of net revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2004 compared to $0.3 million, or 27.7 % of net revenues, for the quarter ended October 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to the added Torrey Pines Microtek, Inc. normal operating expenses.
Income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2004 and 2003. At October 31, 2004, our deferred income tax assets consist of net operating loss carry forwards. At October 31, 2004 the Company had available federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $76 million and $27 million, respectively, for income tax purposes. The federal and state losses will expire in varying amounts through 2021 and 2007, respectively.
The utilization of the loss carry forwards as an offset to future taxable income is subject to limitations under U.S. federal income tax laws. One such limitation is imposed when there is a greater than 50% ownership change. We believe that such an ownership change occurred on August 31, 2000. Of the approximately $76 million and $27 million NOL for federal and state taxes, approximately $64 million and $20.6 million will be subject to such limitation, respectively.
The benefit of our operating loss carry forwards has been reduced 100% by a valuation allowance at October 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004.
Other charges/interest expense. For the three months ended October 31, 2004, interest expenses increased by $405 thousand. This is primarily due to the short term financing for working capital and for the Torrey Pines subsidiary’s acquisition of Microtek. The $410 thousand for the three months ended October 31, 2004 included primarily $13 thousand Silicon Valley Bank interest, $65 thousand other note interest, $279 thousand beneficial interest from the warrant valuations that are expensed over the life of the notes.
Results of Operations/Comparison of the Nine Months Ended October 31, 2004 and 2003
Net revenues. Net revenues were $3.0 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2004, compared were $5.7 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. The 47.6% or $2.7 million decrease in net revenue in the nine months ended October 31, 2003 resulted primarily from $4.1million reductions in our Rixon product shipments (primarily to Cisco) and a $0.4 million decrease in our Sync Research net revenues partially offset by an increase in Torrey Pines’ subsidiary’s net revenues of $1.8 million.
Gross profit. Cost of revenues consists principally of the cost of components and subcontract assembly from outside manufacturers, in addition to in-house system integration, quality control, final testing and configuration. Gross profit was $1.1 million and $2.3 million for the nine month period ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our gross margin was 37.6% for the nine months ended October 31, 2004, compared with 41.2% for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. The decline in gross margins resulted primarily from lower product shipments in R ixon partially offset by lower overall manufacturing and customer service costs and the Torrey Pines acquisition of Microtek, Inc.
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, commissions to revenue representatives, tradeshow expenses, advertising, facilities costs, and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $0.36 million, or 11.9% of net revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2004, from $0.39 million and 6.9% of net revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. The dollar amount of decrease in selling and marketing expense was due to cost reductions implemented partially offset by the added selling and marketing expense of $67 thousand for Microtek Systems, Inc. The percentage increase reflects primarily the decline in total net revenue.
23 | ||
Engineering, research and development. Engineering, research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation related costs for engineering personnel, facilities costs, and materials used in the design, development and support of our technologies. Engineering, research and development expenses were $0.7 million, or 22.7% of net revenue, for the nine months ended October 31, 2004, compared with $0.9 million, or 16.5% of net revenue, for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. The dollar amount of decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to the cost cutting efforts in all the segments. The percentage increase reflects the decline in total net revenue.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, legal and accounting fees and public company costs. General and administrative expenses increased from 1.2 million or 21.4% for the nine months ended October 31, 2003 to $1.7 million, or 57.0% of net revenue, for the nine months ended October 31, 2004. The increase in general and administrative expense and percentage of revenue was primarily due the addition of Torrey Pines Microtek, Inc general and administrative expense in additi on to the Torrey Pines acquisition of Microtek, Inc. and the related financing expenses.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2003, were $0.0 million of net revenues compared to $0.34 million or 6.0% of net revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. For the nine months ended October 31, 2003 the expenses relate to rent expense for our facility in Annapolis Junction, Maryland. This lease was terminated for the facility effective July 31, 2003. The lease was to otherwise expire in October 2004.
Income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for the nine-month periods ended October 31, 2004 and 2003. At October 31, 2004, our deferred income tax assets consist of net operating loss carry forwards. At October 31, 2004, the Company had available federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $76 million and $27 million, respectively, for income tax purposes. The federal and state losses will expire in varying amounts through 2021 and 2007, respectively.
The utilization of the loss carry forwards as an offset to future taxable income is subject to limitations under U.S. federal income tax laws. One such limitation is imposed when there is a greater than 50% ownership change. We believe that such an ownership change occurred on August 31, 2000. Of the approximately $76 million and $27 million net loss carry forwards for federal and state taxes, approximately $64 million and $20.6 million will be subject to such limitation, respectively.
Other charges/interest expense. For the nine months ended October 31, 2004, interest expenses increased by $749 thousand to $761 thousand. This is primarily due to the short term financing for working capital and for the Torrey Pines subsidiary’s acquisition of Microtek. The $761 thousand for the nine months ended October 31, 2004 included primarily $15 thousand Silicon Valley Bank interest, $154 thousand other note interest, $473 thousand beneficial interest from the warrant valuations and $132 thousand charges from the prepaid note expenses that are expensed over the life of the notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital was $0.1 million at October 31, 2004, a decrease of $2.1 million from the $2.2 million at January 31, 2004. Cash flow used by operations was $1.3 million during the nine months ended October 31, 2004 compared with $0.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2003. The increase in cash flows used by operations reflects primarily an increase in net loss from operations after adjustment for non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, reserves and valuation allowances, non-cash interest expense as well as a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in our interest costs due to short term financing for working capital and our Torrey Pines subsidiary’s’ acquisition of Microtek.. During the nine months ended October 31, 2004, operating cash flow reflected increases in cash used for accrued expenses offset by increases in our accounts payable. During the nine months ended October 31, 2003, operating cash flow also reflects cash used for accounts payables, accrued expenses and in other current liabilities offset by a decrease in inventories, accounts receivables and other current assets.
Our net investing activities consist primarily of purchases of property, plant and equipment and treasury stock transactions. Cash investments activities in the nine months ended October 31, 2004 were $63 thousand for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and $700 thousand for the acquisition of Microtek Systems.
Our financing activities during the nine months ended October 31, 2004 provided cash flows of $2.1 million, primarily in connection with short-term bank and debt raised through the issuance of promissory notes totaling $1.875 million with maturities of $1.125 million on January 29, 2005 and $0.750 million on March 31, 2005 for our Torrey Pines subsidiary’s’ acquisition of Microtek Systems and working capital.

We have in place a line of credit that allows us to bridge the gap between our daily cash requirements and the cash we have on hand. We and our subsidiaries, Rixon Networks, Inc., Sync Research, Inc., and Torrey Pines Networks, Inc., including its subsidiary, Microtek Systems, Inc., are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, Commercial Finance Division ("Silicon Valley Bank") dated February 20, 2001, as amended by the Amendment to Loan Documents dated October 29, 2002, the Amendment to Loan Documents dated March 20, 2003, the Amendment to Loan Documents dated October 29, 2003, the Limited Waiver and Amendment to Loan Documents dated April 19, 2004 and the Limited Waiver and Amendment to Loan Documents da ted May 27, 2004 (the "Loan Agreement"). We require access to this line of credit in order to operate.
Under the Loan Agreement, Silicon Valley Bank may, in its sole discretion, make loans to each of our subsidiaries, the principal amount of which will not exceed at any given time 80% of the Eligible Receivables (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of Rixon Networks, 75% of the Eligible Receivables of Sync Research and 80% of the Eligible Receivables of Torrey Pines Networks, respectively. However, at no time will Silicon Valley Bank’s advances to us exceed an aggregate of $2,000,000 under the Loan Agreement. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement accrue interest at an annual rate equal to Silicon Valley Bank’s prime rate plus 2.5% (7.25% at October 31, 2004), but the rate may not be less than 6.5%. The minimum monthly interest payment due during the term of the Loan Agreement is $3,000.
To secure our repayment of amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement, we granted to Silicon Valley Bank a security interest in all of our inventory, equipment, receivables, general intangibles, deposit accounts and all money and property in Silicon Valley Bank’s possession, now owned or hereafter acquired, as well as all proceeds and products of the foregoing. In connection with Loan Agreement, we issued Silicon Valley Bank five-year warrants to purchase 75,757 shares of our common stock at $3.30 per share. The warrants were valued at $54,000 at the time of issuance. The $54,000 of deferred financing cost was amortized as interest expense over the initial twelve-month term of the Loan Agreement in fiscal year 2002.
We were required to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of at least $2,500,000.
If we fail to maintain the required minimum Tangible Net Worth, Silicon Valley Bank may pursue a variety of remedies, including ceasing to make loans to us, accelerating our obligation to repay advances, and taking possession of and selling our collateral.We failed to comply with the minimum Tangible Net Worth requirement for the months ending January 31, 2004 and February 28, 2004 (when the term Tangible Net Worth was defined as the amount equal to $3,750,000 plus 50% of our net income in each fiscal quarter), which failure Silicon Valley Bank has waived. As of October 31, 2004, we were not in compliance with the minimum Tangible Net Worth requirement, but were granted a forbearance by the bank until December 17, 2004.
Outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement were $320,000 as of October 31, 2004. The Loan Agreement was to mature on October 31, 2004, but Silicon Valley Bank has agreed to extend the maturity date until at least December 17, 2004. The bank has agreed to amend and renew the current loan facility and will provide a new one.
On February 6, 2004, to raise interim financing, we issued Term Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, pursuant to that certain Term Credit Agreement (the "Original Credit Agreement") dated January 30, 2004, by and among us, Hong Kong League Central Credit Union ("HKL"), HIT Credit Union ("HIT") (hereinafter, the "Lenders") and SBI Advisors, LLC ("SBI"). The Term Notes are secured by our assets and mature on January 29, 2005. We are required to make monthly payments of interest accrued on the Term Notes. Interest accrues at the annual rate of 24%. We have the right to prepay the Term Notes without penalty. In connection with this transaction, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 of our shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.35. The warrants have a three-year term and are entitled to piggyback registration rights.
On May 14, 2004, to raise interim financing, we issued additional Term Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, pursuant to that certain First Amendment to Term Credit Agreement dated May 14, 2004, by and among us, HKL, HIT, Brightline Bridge Partners I, LLC ("Brightline") and SBI (the "First Amendment") which amended the Original Credit Agreement. The Term Notes are secured by our assets and mature on January 29, 2005. We are required to make monthly payments of interest accrued on the Term Notes. Interest accrues at the annual rate of 24%. We have the right to prepay the Term Notes without penalty. In connection with this transaction, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 of our shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.16. The warrants have three-year terms and are entitled to piggyback registration rights. In addition, we paid $75,000 in fees and issued 125,000 shares of common stock in connection with this transaction.
On May 14, 2004, Torrey Pines acquired Microtek Systems, Inc. Under the terms of this acquisition, Torrey Pines acquired all of the issued capital stock of Microtek in exchange for $750,000 in cash, $150,000 in promissory notes, 1,302,083 shares of our common stock, and other consideration. Of the $1,000,000 we concurrently raised in the interim financing, we used $750,000 as cash consideration to buy Microtek.
On October 4, 2004, to raise interim financing, we issued an additional Term Note in the principal amount of $750,000, pursuant to that certain Second Amendment to Term Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment") dated October 4, 2004 by and among us, HKL, HIT, Brightline, Matthew McGovern, Jon Buttles and SBI, which further amends the Original Credit Agreement. The Term Note is secured by our assets and matures on March 31, 2005. We are required to make monthly payments of interest accrued on the Term Notes. Interest accrues at the annual rate of 24%. We have the right to prepay the Term Note without penalty. In connection with this transaction, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,000,000 of our shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.10. The warrants have three-year terms and are e ntitled to piggyback registration rights. In addition, we paid $75,000 in fees in connection with this transaction.

Our obligations under the Original Credit Agreement, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment are secured by all of our assets pursuant to the terms of that certain Security Agreement dated January 30, 2004, by and among us and SBI (the "Security Agreement").
At the option of the Lenders or SBI, the Company will be obligated to immediately repay all unpaid principal and interest under the Term Notes issued by the Company under the Original Credit Agreement, the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment upon any Event of Default, which term includes our failure to pay any principal or interest under the Term Notes when due and payable, our breach of any covenant, representation or warranty under the Original Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, our default under certain agreements identified in the Original Credit Agreement, the creation of certain liens against our assets or properties, and our insolvency or dissolution, as more specifically described in the Original Credit Agreement. In addition, upon an Event of Default, interest which accrues on the outstandi ng principal under the Term Notes will increase by 2% per annum.
Assuming that all holders of warrants we issued in connection with the February 6, 2004, May 14, 2004 and October 4, 2004 financings, as well as the warrant issued to Trilogy Capital Partners, Inc., to purchase up to an aggregate of 30,500,000 shares of our common stock fully exercise such warrants, we would receive an aggregate of $3,675,000 in proceeds from the exercise of all such warrants.
We anticipate that our available cash resources will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated capital requirements for the next twelve months. However, it may become necessary for us to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings in order to fund our business operations or future growth. In addition, our strategy is dependent upon our ability to increase our revenues and further cut operational costs. If we are unable to sufficiently increase our revenues and cut operational costs, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations, but as of October 31, 2004 we had a positive working capital of $110,000. We recognize that in order to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional funding is necessary. We are exploring additional sources of liquidity, through debt and equity financing alternatives. If we are (i) unable to grow our business or improve our operating cash flows as expected, (ii) unsuccessful in restructuring all or the necessary and required portion of the debt repayments due in January and March 2005 in the aggregate principal amounts of $1.125 million and $750,000, respectively, pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement, as amended, or (iii) unable to raise additional funds through offerings of our common stock, then we may be unable to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it will be on terms favorable to our stockholders and us.
In the event we are not able to raise sufficient cash to fund our operations for three months beyond January 31, 2006, our independent auditor has indicated to us that its opinion on the January 31, 2005 financial statements will express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from operations, or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us, these failures would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders would be diluted.
We continue to pursue external equity financing arrangements that could enhance our liquidity position in the coming years. Nonetheless, our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned including the need for additional working capital to accommodate infrastructure needs. There can be no assurances that our working capital requirements will not exceed our ability to generate sufficient cash internally to support our requirements and that external financing will be available or that, if available, such financing can be obtained on terms favorable to us and our stockholders.
While we anticipate an operating loss for the remainder of the 2005 fiscal year due to the loss of revenues form Cisco and our declining legacy service contracts, we are working toward a positive cash flow with our personnel reductions and cost cutting measures. However, there can be no assurance that future revenue gains from our additional sales personnel or anticipated cost reductions will occur or be sufficient to maintain operations if there are further reductions in revenue resulting from changes in the economy or our product marketing areas.
We have no Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our valuation of inventory and our allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to b e reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
· | Since we account for and report our physical inventory at the "lower of cost or market", and such inventory comprises 55.9% of our Current assets and 38.6% of total assets at October 31, 2004, we carefully evaluate the market value of that inventory on a continual basis. In a business such as ours, wherein we are stocking replacement parts to satisfy a customer's unknown needs, determining obsolescence is an inherently subjective process. Adjustments to obsolescence reserves are made based on judgments of market value that are supported by our best estimates of the future salability of specific items in that inventory. |
· | Accounts receivable balances are evaluated on a continual basis and allowances are provided for potentially uncollectable accounts based on management's estimate of the collectability of customer accounts. If the financial condition of a customer were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional allowance may be required. Allowance adjustments are charged to operations in the period in which the facts that give rise to the adjustments become known. |
The following table presents, at October 31, 2004, our obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts and contingent commitments.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any outstanding legal proceedings, we believe that such legal proceedings and claims, individually and in the aggregate, are not likely to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations or cash flows.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During September 2004, we re-issued 125,000 of our 192,948 treasury shares at cost to Core Capital Holdings, LLC for payment of fees in connection with the short-term debt issued in May 2004. The fair value of the re-issued treasury shares is included in deferred interest costs in the amount of $16. We relied upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We did not engage in a general solicitation, and Core Capital Holdings, LLC is a sophisticated investor. Representatives of Core Capital Holdings had the opportunity to ask questions of us and we provided them with all information they deemed necessary in making the decision to acquire our common stock.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
Under the Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, we are required to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of at least $2,500,000. If we fail to maintain the required minimum Tangible Net Worth, Silicon Valley Bank may pursue a variety of remedies, including ceasing to make loans to us, accelerating our obligation to repay advances, and taking possession of and selling our collateral. We failed to comply with the minimum Tangible Net Worth requirement for the months ending January 31, 2004 and February 28, 2004 (when the term Tangible Net Worth was defined as the amount equal to $3,750,000 plus 50% of our net income in each fiscal quarter), which failure Silicon Valley Bank has waived. As of October 31, 2004, we were not in compliance with the minimum T angible Net Worth requirement and are working with Silicon Valley Bank to become compliant with this requirement or obtain a waiver from Silicon Valley Bank of the non-compliance.
