The following summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. This prospectus contains information regarding our businesses and detailed financial information. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the historical financial statements and related notes, before making an investment decision.
In this prospectus, "Eagle Broadband, Inc.," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" refer to Eagle Broadband, Inc., a Texas corporation, and its subsidiaries, except where otherwise indicated or required by context.
Our Business
The Company is a provider of broadband, Internet Protocol (IP) and communications technology and services that aim to create new revenue opportunities for broadband providers and enhance communications for government, military and corporate customers. The Company leverages years of proven experience delivering advanced IP-based broadband services to provide service provider partners with a way to deliver advanced entertainment, communications and security services to their customers. The Company's product offerings include IPTVComplete™, a fast, low cost way for broadband providers to deliver competitive IP video services; the MediaPro line of standard and high definition IP set-top boxes that enable broadband providers and hotel operators to maximize revenues by delivering advanced interactive entertainment services; and the SatMAX™ satellite communications system that provides civilian government, military, homeland security and corporate customers with reliable, non-line-of-sight, satellite-based voice and data communications from any location on Earth.
During the third quarter ended May 31, 2005, the Company implemented a corporate restructuring designed to reduce costs, focus company resources to drive revenue growth and position the Company to better compete in the broadband, IP and communications markets. This has aligned our resources to better capitalize on potential revenue opportunities for the Company's core IPTV, IP set top box, and satellite communications offerings. This strategy includes the formation of three main operating divisions:
o | IPTV Solutions Division - focused on the Company's IPTVComplete and Media Pro IP set top box product offerings. |
o | Satellite Communications Division - includes the SatMAX non-line-of-sight satellite communications technology. |
o | Broadband Services Division - focused on offering broadband, security and managed services. |
| |
Key components of the restructuring included: |
|
o | Reducing payroll-related expenses, lowering operational overhead and controlling expenditures. |
o | Hiring of additional experienced sales staff to accelerate revenue growth. |
o | Realigning staff and resources to maximize efficiencies, better serve customers and partners and concentrate on sales of the Company's three core offerings: IPTVComplete, MediaPro IP set top boxes and SatMAX satellite communications system as the Company shifts its emphasis to providing solutions to broadband and service provider partners. |
In August 2005, the Company announced that it was further concentrating its efforts on delivering IP-based video and set-top box solutions to broadband and hospitality providers and satellite communications solutions to government, military and commercial customers.
Recent Developments
In August 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain accredited investors for the sale of 30,000,000 shares of its common stock, pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, at a price of $0.135 per share, and received total gross proceeds of $4,050,000. On August 26, 2005, the American Stock Exchange approved for listing 15,125,000 of these shares and notified the Company that shareholder approval was required for the issuance of the remaining 14,875,000 shares. The shareholders of the Company approved the issuance of the 14,875,000 shares at a meeting held October 18, 2005. As of the date of this prospectus, all of the 30,000,000 shares sold in this private placement are issued and outstanding.
The Company paid a placement agent a cash commission of 7% of the gross dollar proceeds of the sale of the 30,000,000 shares and agreed to issue such agent a five-year warrant to purchase 843,750 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.24 per share, expiring on August 31, 2010.
On August 5, 2005, the Company and Neva Holdings, LLC ("Neva") executed an agreement whereby the parties agreed to terminate the Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "LLC Agreement") that the parties entered into on November 23, 2004. The termination of the agreement provides for the Company's withdrawal as a member of LLV Broadband, LLC (the "LLC") and complete release from any future obligations under the LLC Agreement.
The terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement called for the Company to participate in the construction, development and operation of a system for the provision of a range of broadband, entertainment and communications services to the commercial, recreational, and residential buildings located within the Lake Las Vegas Resort and surrounding geographical areas. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, the Company was required to make a capital contribution of between $3 million and $5 million to fund ongoing development and operating activities. The parties initially estimated that the LLC's gross revenues would be approximately $15.5 million over a 6 year period through the year 2010. As a result of the termination, the Company will not be required to make any additional capital contributions to the LLC and will not recognize its allocation of any revenues associated with membership in the LLC. The Company will not incur any early termination penalties associated with the termination of the LLC Agreement.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. The value of our stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Further, this prospectus contains forward-looking statements and actual results may differ significantly from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
Our business strategy focuses on the marketing and sale of three core product offerings which may not be commercially successful.
We seek to execute our business strategy by realigning staff and resources to concentrate on the sales of these products. Therefore, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in marketing these products, or that customers will ultimately purchase our products. Failure to have commercial success from the sale of these products will negatively impact our financial condition.
We have a history of operating losses and may never achieve profitability.
From inception through August 31, 2005, we have incurred an accumulated deficit in the amount of $214,116,000. For the year ended August 31, 2005, we incurred losses from operations in the amount of $56,354,000. We anticipate that we will incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. Our future revenues may never exceed operating expenses, thereby making the continued viability of our Company dependent upon raising additional capital.
As we have not generated positive cash flow from operations for the past three fiscal years, our ability to continue operations is dependent on our ability to either begin to generate positive cash flow from operations or our ability to raise capital from outside sources.
We have not generated positive cash flow from operations during the last four fiscal years and have relied on external sources of capital to fund operations. At August 31, 2005, we had approximately $4,020,000 in cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale, and a working capital deficit of approximately $10,439,000. Our net cash used by operations for the year ended August 31, 2005, was approximately $11,827,000.
In August 2005, the Company sold 30,000,000 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $3,766,500 in a private placement. The Company will utilize these proceeds along with its cash and cash equivalents to fund operations. We may need to raise additional capital to fund working capital in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
The Company currently does not have credit facilities available with financial institutions or other third parties and historically we have relied upon best efforts third-party funding. Though we have been successful at raising capital on a best efforts basis in the past, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any future best-efforts financing endeavors. The Company may need to continue to rely upon financing from external sources to fund its operations for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital from external sources to fund our operations, the Company may need to sell assets to meet working capital needs or curtail operations.
We have been named a defendant in several lawsuits, which if determined adversely, could harm our ability to fund operations.
Eagle Broadband and its subsidiaries have been named defendants in several lawsuits in which plaintiffs are seeking substantial damages, which may include any of the following lawsuits:
o | Cornell Capital Partners, LP. v. Eagle Broadband. In July 2003, Cornell Capital sued Eagle Broadband alleging breach of contract, fraud and negligent misrepresentation. As of November 30, 2003, the principal balance of the debenture was approximately $1.2 million and was repaid, although the suit remains outstanding. We have filed a counterclaim against Cornell Capital seeking in excess of $2 million. |
| |
o | The Tail Wind Fund, Ltd. v. Eagle Broadband and Link Two Communications. In June 2004, the Tail Wind Fund asserted breach of contract claim in the amount of approximately $25 million. |
| |
o | State of Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection vs. Reco-Tricote, Inc., and Southwest Tire Recycling Inc., currently known as Clearworks.net, Inc. The Florida EPA sued Clearworks.net presenting claims for recovery costs and penalties for a waste tire processing facility. The suit seeks recovery of costs and penalties in a sum in excess of $1,000,000, attorneys' fees and court costs. Clearworks denies the claims and intends to vigorously contest all claims in this case and to enforce its indemnification rights against the principals of Southwest Tire Recycling. |
We intend to vigorously defend these and other lawsuits and claims against us. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, as well as other legal proceedings and claims with certainty. An adverse resolution of any one pending lawsuit could substantially harm our ability to fund operations.
Our future revenues are not predictable.
During the third quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2005, management determined to further focus marketing efforts on the Company's IPTVComplete product, the MediaPro IP set top boxes and SatMAX Satellite communications systems. Historical revenues should not be viewed as indicative of any future revenues since future revenues will be dependant upon the market acceptance of our core product offerings.
Our business is subject to many factors that could cause quarterly or annual operating results to fluctuate and our stock price to be volatile.
Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly or annual operating results do not meet the expectations of investors, the trading price of our common stock could decline. Some of the factors that could affect our quarterly or annual operating results include:
o | the timing and amount of, or cancellation or rescheduling of, orders for our products; |
o | our ability to develop, introduce, ship and support certain products; |
o | announcements, new product introductions and reductions in price of products offered by our competitors; |
o | our ability to control costs; |
o | the loss of one or more of our major customers or a significant reduction in orders from those customers; |
o | increased competition, particularly from larger, better capitalized competitors; |
o | fluctuations in demand for our products and services; and |
o | market conditions specifically and economic conditions generally. |
We rely heavily on third-party suppliers for the material components for our products and supply shortages could cause delays in manufacturing and delivering products which could reduce our revenues.
We rely upon unaffiliated suppliers for the material components and parts used to assemble our products. Most parts and components purchased from suppliers are available from multiple sources. We have not experienced significant supply shortages in the past and we believe that we will be able to continue to obtain most required components and parts from multiple suppliers. However, the lack of availability of certain components could require a major redesign of our products and could result in production and delivery delays, which could reduce revenues from product sales.
Because our industry is rapidly evolving, if we are unable to adapt or adjust our products to new technologies, our ability to compete and operate profitably may be significantly impaired.
The design, development, and manufacturing of IP, broadband, entertainment and communications products are highly competitive and characterized by rapid technology changes. We compete with products and technologies from a number of other companies Development by others of new or improved products or technologies may make our products obsolete or less competitive. While we believe that our products are based on advanced technologies, our products may become obsolete in the future or we may not be able to develop a commercial market for our products in response to future technology advances and developments. The inability to develop new products or adapt our current products to new technologies could impact our financial condition.
Approximately 21% of our total assets are comprised of intangible assets including goodwill, contract rights, customer relationships and other intangible assets which are subject to review on a periodic basis to determine whether an impairment on these assets is required. An impairment would not only greatly diminish our assets, but would also require us to record a significant charge against our earnings.
We are required under generally accepted accounting principles to review our intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. At fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, Eagle determined that $37,565,000 of goodwill associated with the acquisition of ClearWorks.net was impaired. At the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, management determined that a $7,611,000 non-cash impairment charge was necessary against realigned operations and the discontinued sale of low margin commodity products, residential and commercial structured wiring operations and the withdrawal from Austin, Texas area broadband services development. Included in the impairment was the write down of goodwill of $1,878,000 associated with the acquisition of Comtel. At the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, management assessed the fair value of the intangible assets and concluded that the goodwill and other intangible assets valuations were at an amount greater than the current carrying and other intangible assets value. At the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment charge of $23,912,668 existed for the intangible assets of contract rights, customer relationships and other intangible assets primarily attributable to the BDS assets acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc. At August 31, 2005, our intangible assets, including goodwill, were approximately $8.7 million. If management determines that impairment exists, we will be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill is determined.
Our business relies on our use of proprietary technology. Asserting, defending and maintaining intellectual property rights is difficult and costly and the failure to do so could harm our ability to compete and to fund our operations.
We rely, to a significant extent, on trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology. In the event we become involved in defending or pursuing intellectual property litigation, such action may increase our costs and divert management's time and attention from our business. In addition to costly litigation and diversion of management's time, any potential intellectual property litigation could force us to take specific actions, including:
o | cease selling products that use the challenged intellectual property; |
o | obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all; or |
o | redesign those products that use infringing intellectual property. |
We compete with many companies that are larger and possess greater capital resources than we do, and our growth and profitability are dependent on our ability to compete with these entities.
We face competition from many entities with significantly greater financial resources, well-established brand names, and larger customer bases. We may become subject to severe price competition for our products and services as companies seek to enter our industry or current competitors attempt to gain market share. We expect competition to intensify in the future and expect significant competition from other companies and technology providers. If we are unable to make or keep our products competitively priced and attain a market share in the markets in which our products compete, our sales may suffer which could impact our financial condition.
A system failure could delay or interrupt our ability to provide products or services and could increase our costs and reduce our revenues.
Certain parts of our operations are dependent upon our ability to support a complex network infrastructure. Many of our customers are dependent on an uninterrupted supply of services. Any damage or failure that causes interruptions in our operations could result in loss of these customers. To date, we have not experienced any significant interruptions or delays which have affected our ability to provide products and services to our clients. Because our headquarters and some of our infrastructure is located in the Texas Gulf Coast area, there is a likelihood that our operations may be effected by hurricanes or tropical storms, tornados, or flooding. Although we maintain redundant systems in north Houston, Texas, which allow us to operate our networks on a temporary basis, the occurrence of a natural disaster, operational disruption or other unanticipated problem could cause interruptions in the services we provide and impair our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability.
Our stock price has been volatile in the past, and shareholders face the possibility of future fluctuations in the price of our common stock.
The market price of our common stock may experience fluctuations that are unrelated to our operating performance. From November 1, 2004, through October 31, 2005, the highest sales price of our common stock was $0.90, and the lowest sales price was $0.15. The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the last 12 months and may continue to be volatile in the future.
Our industry is highly regulated, and new government regulation could hurt our ability to timely introduce new products and technologies.
Our broadband and communications products are regulated by federal, state, and local governments. We are generally required to obtain regulatory approvals in connection with providing telephone and television services. For example, the cable and satellite television industry is regulated by Congress and the Federal Communications Commission, and various legislative and regulatory proposals under consideration from time to time may affect the way we design our products. New laws or regulations may harm our ability to timely introduce new products and technologies, which could decrease our revenues by shortening the life cycle of a product.
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The 30,843,750 shares, the resale of which is being registered hereunder, may be sold by the selling shareholders into the public market pursuant to this prospectus. Further sales of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. A lower stock price could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities.

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the various segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect the financial condition and results of operations of the company as a whole. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended August 31, 2005.
At the start of fiscal 2005, the company’s business strategy was focused on pursuing business opportunities in its core business segments, which included its broadband bundled services and related products. Changes in executive management, including the hiring of David Micek as COO and Eric Blachno as CFO in November 2004 and the subsequent appointment of Mr. Micek as President and CEO in April 2005, led to a thorough review of the company’s operations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the company implemented a corporate restructuring which included the formation of three main operating divisions: IPTV Solutions, Satellite Communications and Broadband Services. Key components of the restructuring included:
o | Reducing payroll-related expenses, lowering operational overhead and controlling expenditures. |
| |
o | Hiring of additional experienced sales staff to accelerate revenue growth. |
| |
o | Realigning staff and resources to maximize efficiences, better serve our customers and partners, and concentrate on sales of our three core offerings as the company shifted its emphasis to providing solutions to broadband and service provider partners as opposed to offering broadband services directly to consumers. |

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, the company’s business operations reflected an increase in broadband, security and managed services. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the company’s consolidated operations generated net sales of $8,592,000 compared to prior year net sales of $12,490,000. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to a decrease in prior year product sales of $3,788,000 from a major customer. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the company had a corresponding negative gross profit margin of 3.7%, compared to a gross profit percentage of 0.8% for the prior year. The negative gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to additional costs of $759,000 for design changes and expedite charges incurred due to a change in product requirements from a key customer, depreciation expenses associated with the build out of the company’s broadband services infrastructure, and a non-cash obsolescence charge for slow moving inventory of $300,000. (See Note 1-Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.)
The company incurred a net loss of $57,010,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. Key components of the loss include a $28,815,000 non-cash impairment charges and $7,261,000 of additional non-cash charges. (See Note 5-Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Note 6-Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Note 9-Supplemental Non-Cash Disclosures for additional details.)
The company’s net loss for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, included approximately $5,097,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses and $1,984,000 in expenses associated with a net increase in the company’s accounts receivable allowances. Additionally, the company’s expenses included $18,472,000 of non-cash charges and stock issued to pay for interest expense and for services rendered.

Total | | $ | 8,592 | | 100% | | $ | 12,490 | | 100% | | $ | (3,898 | ) | | (31% | ) |
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, net sales decreased to $8,592,000 from $12,490,000 for the year ended August 31, 2004. The overall decrease of 31% was attributable to a $3,420,000 decrease in product sales and a decrease of $1,177,000 of broadband services, offset by an increase of $665,000, or 98%, in structured wiring sales. The $3,420,000 decrease in sales of the company’s products for the year ended August 31, 2005, was primarily attributable to a decrease in prior year product sales of $3,788,000 from a major customer. The decrease of $1,177,000 in broadband services is primarily attributable to a decline in recurring security monitoring sales resulting from the sale of security contracts to a major customer during the third and fourth quarters of 2005. The increase of $665,000 in structured wiring sales is primarily attributable to increased sales efforts to pursue commercial structured wiring and cabling opportunities.

For the year ended August 31, 2005, cost of goods sold decreased by $3,479,000, or 28%, to $8,908,000 from $12,387,000 as compared to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. The decrease of $3,479,000 in cost of goods sold is primarily attributable to (i) product costs of $2,295,000 associated with prior year product sales to a major customer and (ii) $1,127,000 of broadband service cost associated with the decline in recurring security monitoring contracts resulting from sale of security contracts to a major customer during the third and fourth quarters of 2005. The increase of $583,000 in structured wiring cost is primarily attributable to increased personnel costs needed to expand the company’s commercial customer base and pursue additional structured wiring opportunities.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, operating expenses increased by 80% to $56,038,000, as compared to $31,055,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. The increases that occurred, as evidenced by the immediately preceding tables, are discussed below:
o | A $7,412,000 decrease in salaries and related costs. The decrease is primarily attributable to (i) a prior year non-cash expense of $4,493,000 incurred on the issuance of promissory notes upon the modification of outstanding options for 4,200,000 common shares and (ii) a guaranteed compensation of the modified options equivalent to $1.75 less the option strike price, which was an additional $4,074,000 accrued in August 2004. In June 2005, the company entered into note exchange agreements whereby the note holders representing $2,086,000 agreed to accept 7,954,000 of the company’s common stock to fully satisfy such debt obligation. The remaining principal amount of $1,924,000 is currently in default and is accruing interest according to the terms of the original agreement. (See Note 2-Related Party Transactions.) |
| |
o | A $689,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization, due principally to disposition of assets and the completion of depreciation of certain capital assets. |
| |
o | Realigning staff and resources to maximize efficiences, better serve our customers and partners, and concentrate on sales of our three core offerings as the company shifted its emphasis to providing solutions to broadband and service provider partners as opposed to offering broadband services directly to consumers. |
| |
o | A $219,000 increase in research and development expenses, primarily for product development and engineering activities associated with the company's IPTV, set-top box and satellite communications product lines. |
| |
o | A $4,299,000 increase in other support costs, the components of which are set forth in the table above. The increase of $1,320,000 is attributable to a state sales tax assessment that is pending while under review, a $4,714,000 increase in professional fees that included cost associated with corporate compliance, auditors fees and consulting, and litigation, and $497,000 attributable to general liability and officer and director insurance coverage. These increases are offset by decreases of $2,075,000 in bad debt, $89,000 in rent expense and $366,000 in telephone and utilities. |
| |
o | A $28,515,000 increase in impairment primarily consisting of (i) an impairment charge of $23,912,688 for the intangible assets of contract rights, customers relationships and other intangible assets primarily attributable to the BDS communities acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc., and (ii) an impairment charge of $3,229,405 for certain Houston-area communities where broadband infrastructure had been installed. (See Note 5-Impairment of Long Live Assets and Note 6-Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional details.) |

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, net sales increased to $12.5 million from $11.6 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003. The overall increase of 7.7% was attributable to a $1.4 million increase in the company’s product sales of IP set-top boxes and an increase of $2.7 million in the company’s BDS sales; offset by decreases of $3 million in structured wiring operations and a $1.7 million decrease in other sales. The $2.8 million increase in the company’s Products segment was primarily attributable to shipment of IP set-top boxes and related equipment to a major customer. The $2.7 million increase in sales of the company’s broadband services was primarily attributable to contracts valued at $3.1 million executed by the company’s security-monitoring subsidiary, D.S.S. Security, Inc., against which the company realized sales of $2.9 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. Without giving effect to the security monitoring contract transactions of $2.9 million, the company’s base broadband services sales decreased by approximately $158,000 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, primarily attributable to the exit from the unprofitable Austin, Texas BDS market discussed in prior periods, and the decline in recurring security monitoring sales resulting from the sale of certain security monitoring contracts in the company’s portfolio to Sweetwater Capital, LLC. The $3 million decrease in structured wiring sales corresponded to the company’s previously announced strategy to no longer pursue structured wiring and commercial cabling opportunities on a direct basis outside of the its BDS model. The $1.7 million decrease in other sales was primarily attributable to the other sales components from various operating segments that were divested or phased out during fiscal 2004.

Total | $ | 12,387 | | $ | 10,784 | | $ | 1,603 | | | 15% | |
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, cost of goods sold increased 14.9% to $12.4 million from $10.8 million compared to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003. The overall increase of $1.6 million was primarily attributable to the shipment of IP set-top boxes and the purchase and resale of certain related equipment. The company’s overall gross profit percentage was 1% and 7% for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This substantial decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to a heavy sales mix of product shipments of IP set-top boxes and the dilutive effect of the purchase and resale of certain related equipment versus the prior fiscal year; the dilutive effect of the security monitoring transactions recorded in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, i.e., sales recorded of $2.9 million with corresponding cost of sales of $1.9 million, the decision to no longer pursue structured wiring outside of its BDS model, and an increase in depreciation expenses associated with the build-out of the company’s BDS infrastructure.

The increase was attributable to an expansion of executive and general management compensation expenses, increased Board of Director compensation expense, and compensation expense associated with stock option exercises and severance. In addition, compensation for certain officers and key employees under incentive clauses of their employment contracts (i) includes a non-cash expense of $4.5 million incurred upon the modification of warrants for 4.2 million shares and (ii) reflects a guaranteed compensation of the modified warrants equivalent to $1.75 less the warrant strike price. |
| |
o | A decrease of$833,000 in depreciation and amortization, due principally to the prior year disposition of assets in subsidiaries that are no longer active. |
| |
o | A $630,000 increase in other support costs, the components of which are set forth on the table included immediately above. Included in this increase is a $1.3 million increase in property taxes recorded against the company's BDS infrastructure, a $687,000 increase in professional and contract labor, and a $466,000 increase in bad debt; offset by a $676,000 decrease in rent expense and a $597,000 decrease in telephone and utilities. |
| |
o | A $159,000 increase in research and development expenses, primarily consisting of the company's continued investmetn in HDTV-ready IP set-top boxes for hospitality and broadband customers and the SatMAX satellite voice and data communications products for military, government and commercial customers. |

Changes in Cash Flow
The company’s operating activities increased net cash used to $11,827,000 in the year ended August 31, 2005, compared to use of net cash of $3,493,000 in the year ended August 31, 2004. The increase in net cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to fund an increase in the company’s net operating loss, net of $36,076,000 non-cash charges combined with $9,107,000 of cash provided by fluctuations in working capital requirements consisting of the combination of accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The company’s investing activities used net cash of $611,000 in the year ended August 31, 2005, compared to use of net cash $1,216,000 in the year ended August 31, 2004. The decrease was due primarily to proceeds from sale of assets held for sale and direct finance leasing. The company’s financing activities provided net cash proceeds of $14,407,000 in the year ended August 31, 2005, compared to $5,936,000 of cash provided in the year ended August 31, 2004. The increase resulted from net proceeds of $11,309,000 from the sale of 45.795 million shares of common stock to certain accredited investors and $1,949,000 from the exercise of stock options.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At August 31, 2005, the company’s current assets totaled $8,370,000 (including cash and cash equivalents of $4,223,000 of which $203,000 is cash restricted). Total current liabilities were $18,809,000, which gave the company a negative working capital of $10,439,000. The company has funded operations through a combination of utilizing cash on hand, issuing common stock to settle current liabilities and raising additional capital through the sale of its securities.
In order to preserve cash, the company has historically used company stock to retire certain liabilities on a negotiated basis. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the company retired $7,007,000 in debt with stock versus cash. The company expects to continue its practice of retiring certain liabilities as may be negotiated through a combination of cash and the issuance of shares of the company’s common stock. At this time, the company is not able to quantify the amount of common stock that may need to be issued to retire current or future debts, and there is no assurance that this strategy will be successful in the future.
Historically, the company has financed operations through the sale of debt and equity securities. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the company raised $13,958,000 cash through the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of derivative securities. The company currently does not have credit facilities available with financial institutions or other third parties and historically we have relied upon best efforts third-party funding. Though we have been successful at raising additional capital on a best efforts basis in the past, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any future best-efforts financing endeavors. The company will continue to rely upon financing from external sources to fund its operations for the foreseeable future and it will likely need to raise additional capital to fund working capital requirements in the third quarter of 2006. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital from external sources to fund our operations for the foreseeable future, the company may need to sell assets to meet working capital needs or curtail certain operations.
Contractual Obligations
The following table sets forth contractual obligations as of August 31, 2005:
(Thousands of dollars) Contractual Obligations | | Total | | Less than 1 year | | 1-3 years | | 3-5 years | | More than 5 years |
Long-Term Debt Obligations | | $ | 61 | | $ | 61 | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — |

Total | | $ | 4,236 | | $ | 961 | | $ | 2,675 | | $ | 600 | | $ | — |
The company’s contractual obligations consist of long-term debt as set forth in Note 8-Notes Payable to the company’s financial statements, certain obligations for office space operating leases requiring future minimal commitments under non-cancelable leases (see Note 16-Commitments and Contingent Liabilities to the company’s financial statements), and a purchase obligation to share monthly satellite transponder costs associated with the delivery of the company’s IPTVComplete service.
LLV Broadband, LLC Agreement
In August 2005, the company and Neva Holdings, LLC (“Neva”), executed an agreement whereby the parties agreed to terminate the Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) that the parties entered into on November 23, 2004. The termination of the agreement provides for the company’s withdrawal as a member of LLV Broadband, LLC (“LLC”), and complete release from any future obligations under the LLC Agreement. The terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement called for the company to participate in the construction, development and operation of a system for the provision of a range of broadband, entertainment and communications services to the commercial, recreational and residential buildings located within the Lake Las Vegas Resort and surrounding geographical areas. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, the company was required to make a capital contribution of between $3 million and $5 million to fund ongoing development and operating activities. The parties initially estimated that the LLC’s gross revenues would be approximately $15.5 million over a six-year period through the year 2010. As a result of the termination, the company will not be required to make any additional capital contributions to the LLC and will not recognize any revenues from the LLC. The company will not incur any early termination penalties associated with the termination of the LLC Agreement.
The service agreement entered into by the company and the LLC in July 2003 remained in effect until November 4, 2005. Under this agreement, the company provided video content, network monitoring and billing services to the LLC according to a previously agreed-to fee arrangement until November 4, 2005.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of August 31, 2005, we did not have any significant off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management strives to report the financial results of the company in a clear and understandable manner, even though in some cases accounting and disclosure rules are complex and require us to use technical terminology. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations as reflected in our financial statements. These judgments and estimates are based on past events and expectations of future outcomes. Actual results may differ from our estimates.
Management continually reviews its accounting policies, how they are applied and how they are reported and disclosed in our financial statements. Following is a summary of our more significant accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Impairment Assessment
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill and intangible assets be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability.
The company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, an impairment test of the carrying value of intangible assets. Eagle has intangible assets related to goodwill, contracts, customers and subscribers. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the company determined there had been significant erosion of contracts, customers and subscribers primarily attributable to the BDS assets acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc.
The company evaluated and considered two separate methodologies in conducting the analysis and selected the approach assigning the greater value realized from the present value technique or the quoted market approach. The following factors were considered (i) current market conditions, (ii) the company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business.
Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 142, as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment charge of $23,912,668 existed for the intangible assets of contract rights, customer relationships and other intangible assets primarily attributable to the BDS assets acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc.
Eagle assessed the fair value of goodwill as of August 31, 2005 and concluded that the goodwill valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying asset value. Eagle assessed the fair value of the intangible assets as of August 31, 2004 and concluded that the goodwill and other intangible assets valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying and other intangible assets value.
At August 31, 2003, management determined that a $7,611,000 non-cash impairment charge was necessary against realigned operations and the discontinued sale of low margin commodity products, residential and commercial structured wiring operations and the withdrawal from its Austin area BDS development based on the lack of demand for BDS services resulting from a slower build out of the development than originally projected in conjunction with local market competition. Included in the impairment was the write down of goodwill associated with the Comtel acquisition of $1,878,000.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets (asset groups) shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The company’s market capitalization as of year ending August 31, 2005 has been below its shareholder equity which indicated the need to test for recoverability. The company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, tests to determine if an impairment loss existed. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets.
These tests took into consideration a number of factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) the company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business. Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 144 as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment of $3,229,405 existed for certain Houston-area communities where broadband infrastructure had been installed. (See Note 5-Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.)
During the second quarter of 2005, the company also determined an impairment loss existed primarily for Link-Two Communications, Inc. assets. Management determined that the value of the assets was nominal after a review of the marketplace and recorded an impairment loss of $1,050,000. (See Note 5-Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.)
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the company had an additional impairment charge of $322,792 on assets held for sale. (See Note 7-Assets Held for Sale.)
Revenue Recognition
The company designs, manufactures, markets and services its products and services under the Eagle Broadband, Inc., Eagle Broadband Services, Inc., D.S.S. Security, Inc. and EBI Funding Corporation, names.
Eagle adopted EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The impact of adopting EITF 00-21 did not have a material effect to Eagle’s results of operations. Eagle’s contracts that contain multiple elements as of August 31, 2004, or prior were immaterial. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, Eagle allocates revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, Eagle allocates revenue first to the fair value of the undelivered elements and allocates the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. Eagle limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
Deferred Revenues
Revenues that are billed in advance of services being completed are deferred until the conclusion of the period of the service for which the advance billing relates. Deferred revenues are included on the balance sheet as a current liability until the service is performed and then recognized in the period in which the service is completed. Eagle’s deferred revenues historically have consisted primarily of billings in advance for cable, Internet, security and telephone services, which generally are for between one and three months of services. The company has deferred revenue from the sale of security monitoring contracts, both purchased and owned until the contract provisions are fulfilled. The company has a twelve-month holdback provision for security contracts sold to a major customer during fiscal 2005. Eagle had deferred revenues of $623,000 as of August 31, 2005, which of this total, $465,608 is deferred for the security contracts sold to a major customer. As of August 31, 2004, the company had deferred revenues of $96,000.
Eagle Broadband, Inc.
Eagle designs, manufactures and markets various hardware, software and systems, along with other equipment used in the delivery of broadband, video entertainment and communications services. Revenues from these products are recognized when the product is shipped. Eagle Broadband Inc.’s international product revenues are reported under the category “Products” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
The company designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of MediaPro IP set-top boxes. Eagle recognizes revenue when set-top boxes are shipped to the customer. The company’s set-top box revenues are reported under the category “Products” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments. Revenue from software consists of software licensing. There is no post-contract customer support. Software revenue is allocated to the license using vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) or, in the absence of VSOE, the residual method. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines VSOE. In the absence of VSOE of a delivered element, the company allocates revenue to the fair value of the undelivered elements and the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Eagle recognizes revenue allocated to software licenses at the inception of the license.
The company engages independent agents, resellers and distributors for sales principally in foreign countries and certain geographic regions in the United States. Under the terms of these agreements, these third parties provide the company with sales leads. The transactions from these third parties are subject to Eagle’s approval prior to sale. In certain circumstances, the sales agent or reseller/distributor receives commissions based on the amount of the sales invoice from the companies to the customer. The sale is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer. These transactions are not a significant portion of total sales in any of the periods presented. Eagle’s Broadband, Inc., revenues are reported under the category “Products” on the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
The company sells and installs structured wiring and related customer premise equipment in residential customers’ homes. This company recognizes revenue and the related costs at the time the services are performed. Revenue is derived from the billing of structured wiring to homes and the sale of customer premise equipment to the homebuyers. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s residential structured wiring revenues are reported under the category “Structured Wiring” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “APC/HSI” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. (BDS)
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides broadband bundled digital services to business and residential customers, primarily in the Texas market. Revenue is derived from fees charged for the delivery of bundled digital services, which can include telephone, long distance, Internet, security monitoring and cable services. This subsidiary recognizes revenue and the related costs at the time the services are rendered. Installation fees are recognized upon completion and acceptance. The revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides project planning, installation, project management, testing and documentation of fiber and cable to commercial and industrial clients throughout the United States. The revenue from the fiber and cable installation and services is recognized upon percentage of completion of the project. Most projects are completed in less than one month, therefore, matching revenue and expense in the period incurred. Service, training and extended warranty contract revenues are recognized as services are completed. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s communications services revenues are reported under the category “Structured Wiring” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “APC/HSI” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides business-to-business hardware and software network solutions and network monitoring services. The revenue from the hardware and software sales is recognized at the time of shipment. The monitoring services recognition policy is to record revenue on completion. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s technology services product revenues are reported under the category “Products” while the services components are reported under the category “Other” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “UCG” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
D.S.S. Security, Inc. (d/b/a Eagle Broadband Security)
D.S.S. Security, Inc. provides security monitoring services to residential and commercial customers, purchases, bundles and resells contracts from its own portfolio to independent third-party companies. Security monitoring customers are billed three months in advance of service usage. The revenues are deferred at the time of billing and ratably recognized over the prepayment period as service is provided. Installation fees are recognized upon completion and acceptance. Revenues from the sale of security monitoring contracts, both purchased and owned, are recognized upon contract execution except for reserves, hold backs or retentions, which are deferred until the contract provisions are fulfilled. Eagle’s security services revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
Receivables
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Eagle accounts receivable increased to $1,890,000 from $1,470,000 at August 31, 2004. The majority of this increase was due to the sale of retail security contracts to a major customer in the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 in the amount, net of hold back, of $1,545,447 and $582,553, respectively.
The company’s accounts receivable aging as measured by days sales outstanding (DSO) totaled 47 days at August 31, 2005, and 29 days at August 31, 2004, on an adjusted basis after recording the write-offs and reserves. The increase in DSO from 29 days at August 31, 2004, to 47 days at August 31, 2005, was primarily attributable to a customer that delayed payment on a significant portion of a set-top box order due to a disagreement related to operability issues with the set-top boxes. The company has resolved these issues with the customer and expects to collect more than 80% of the outstanding receivable. The remaining amount due on this order has been reserved in the company’s allowance for doubtful accounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2,688,000 and $2,396,000 for the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These allowances for doubtful accounts amounts represented 59% and 62% of the gross accounts receivable balances for the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively; while they likewise represented 82% and 7% of the company’s greater than 90-day accounts for these same respective time periods.
The company reviews its accounts receivable balances by customer for accounts greater than 90 days old and makes a determination regarding the collectibility of the accounts based on specific circumstances and the payment history that exists with such customers. The company also takes into account its prior experience, the customer’s ability to pay and an assessment of the current economic conditions in determining the net realizable value of its receivables. The company also reviews its allowances for doubtful accounts in aggregate for adequacy following this assessment. Accordingly, the company believes that its allowances for doubtful accounts fairly represent the underlying collectibility risks associated with its accounts receivable.
Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on collection experience and current review of the collectibility of accounts receivable. Accounts receivables deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by using the first-in first-out method. At August 31, 2005, Eagle’s inventory totaled $802,000 as compared to $403,000 at August 31, 2004. The majority of this increase is in the company’s work in process inventory anticipating plan customer orders in the near future. In the year ended August 31, 2005, the company had an impairment charge of $300,000 related to a partial impairment of inventory on hand as of August 31, 2004. Management had reasonably identified prospects for this inventory at August 31, 2004, which did not materialize as planned in fiscal 2005. At the end of fiscal 2004, management incorporated “just in time” inventory practices to avoid inventory obsolesce. The company continues to outsource production as needed based on contract orders from customers.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Statement No. 03-06 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 03-06”). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 became effective during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the adoption of which did not have an impact on the calculation of earnings per share of the company.
In July 2004, the EITF issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 04-08, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share” (“EITF 04-08”). EITF 04-08 reflects the Task Force’s tentative conclusion that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. If adopted, the consensus reached by the Task Force in this Issue will be effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Prior period earnings per share amounts presented for comparative purposes would be required to be restated to conform to this consensus and the company would be required to include the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes in the diluted earnings per share computation for all periods during which the Notes are outstanding. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2004, the EITF delayed the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-01”) as included in paragraphs 10-20 of the proposed statement. The proposed statement will clarify the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and investments accounted for under the cost method. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on its financial position and results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 (also known as SFAS 123R) that amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS 123R’s effective date would be applicable for awards that are granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition methods: one that provides for prospective application and two that provide for retrospective application. The company intends to adopt SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006, and it will have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of operations as the company will be required to expense the fair value of stock option grants and stock purchases under employee stock purchase plan. It is expected that the adoption of SFAS 123R will cause the company to record as expense each quarter a non-cash accounting charge approximating the fair value of such share-based compensation meeting the criteria outlined in the provisions of SFAS 123R.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate and Equity Market Risks
The Company is exposed both to market risk from changes in interest rates on funded debt and changes in equity values on common stock investments it holds in publicly traded companies. The Company also previously had exposure that related to the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company fully retired its revolving credit facility in September 2003, and thus no longer has such exposure related to interest rate risk. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates based on the bank prime rate. The extent of this risk with respect to interest rates on funded debt is not quantifiable or predictable due to the variability of future interest rates; however, the Company does not believe a change in these rates would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in mortgage and asset backed securities, mutual funds, money market accounts and common stock. Accordingly, the Company is subject to both changes in market interest rates and the equity market fluctuations and risk. There is an inherent roll over risk on these funds as they accrue interest at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable due to the variability of future interest rates. The Company does not believe a change in these rates would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results, financial condition, and cash flows with respect to invested funds in mortgage and asset backed securities, mutual funds and money market accounts.
Credit Risks
The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, but does not require collateral from these parties. Two customers, Alarm Security Group, LLC and General Dynamics, each represented greater than 10% of the Company's revenues during the year ended August 31, 2005. The Company does not believe that the credit risk posed by Alarm Security Group, LLC, General Dynamics or any other specific customer would have a material adverse affect on its financial condition.
Overview
The Company is a provider of broadband, Internet Protocol (IP) and communications technology and services that aim to create new revenue opportunities for broadband providers and enhance communications for government agencies, the military and corporations. The company leverages years of experience delivering advanced, IP-based broadband services to help service providers deliver advanced entertainment and communications services to their customers. Eagle’s product offerings include (i) IPTVComplete™, a faster, lower-cost way for broadband providers to deliver competitive IP video and entertainment services to their residential and commercial customers; (ii) the MediaPro line of standard and high definition IP set-top boxes that enable broadband providers and hotel operators to maximize their revenues from the delivery of advanced, interactive entertainment services; and (iii) the SatMAX™ satellite communications system that provides civilian government, military, homeland security and corporate customers with reliable, non-line-of-sight, satellite-based voice and data communications from any location on Earth.
In May 2005, the company implemented a corporate restructuring designed to reduce costs, focus company resources to drive revenue growth and position the company to better compete in the broadband, IPTV, hospitality and communications markets. The restructuring aligned our resources to better capitalize on potential revenue opportunities for our core IPTV, IP set-top box, and satellite communications product offerings and included the formation of three main operating divisions:
o | IPTV Solutions Division - consists of the IPTVComplete and Media Pro IP set-top box product offerings. |
| |
o | Satellite Communications Division - includes the SatMAX non-line-of-sight satellite communications technology. |
| |
o | Broadband Services Division - includes the broadband bundled digital services (BDS), security and managed services businesses. |
Key components of the restructuring included:
o | Reducing payroll-related expenses, lowering operational overhead and controlling expenditures. |
| |
o | Hiring of additional experienced sales staff to accelerate revenue growth. |
| |
o | Realigning staff and resources to maximize efficiencies, better serve our customers and partners, and concentrate on sales of our three core offerings as we shift our emphasis to providing solutions to broadband and service provider partners. |

Satellite Communications Solutions
SatMAX™ Satellite-Based Voice and Data Communications
Eagle’s SatMAX non-line-of-sight repeater system is an innovative, proprietary non-line-of-sight communications technology that enables users of the Iridium satellite network to establish reliable voice and data communications to and from any location where the user is unable to gain line of sight to an orbiting Iridium satellite such as onboard aircraft, below deck on ships, within buildings, underground or from obstructed areas. The technology provides global communications that enhance user productivity, mobility, problem solving, field-to-headquarters collaboration and emergency backup/response for a wide range of mission-critical and everyday communications needs. By extending coverage indoors to areas not traditionally served by satellite networks, the SatMAX extends the customer’s usage area, while enhancing the utility and overall value for both new and existing Iridium aviation, government, military, homeland security and commercial/enterprise customers. The company has received certification from both the Federal Communications Commission and Iridium Satellite LLC for the SatMAX.
SatMAX revenues are reported under the category “Products” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Broadband Services Solutions
Bundled Digital Services (BDS)
Historically, Eagle has marketed bundled digital services to municipalities, utilities, real estate developers and service providers to assist these customers in providing IP-based broadband services to their customers, including high-speed Internet, home security monitoring, telephone service, and video services over fiber and IP networks. In August 2005, we announced that we are shifting our focus to further concentrate our efforts on delivering IP-based video (IPTVComplete) and set-top box solutions (MediaPro IP set-top boxes) to broadband and hospitality providers, and satellite communications solutions (SatMAX) to government, military and commercial customers. While we continue to provide bundled broadband services to a select number of communities in Texas, we believe that the IPTV, set-top box and satellite communications markets offer greater opportunities in the future.
Bundled broadband services revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SatMAX systems are marketed through Eagle’s sales staff and select resellers and channel partners to corporate, commercial aviation, government, and military customers. Broadband services, security services and managed services are marketed through Eagle’s sales and customer service staff.
Research and Development
Because the company markets products and services in highly competitive markets characterized by rapid product obsolescence and change, we believe that a strong commitment to, and ongoing investment in, research and development is essential to the continued growth and future success of our products. One of the key components of our development strategy is maintaining close working relationships between our sales, marketing, product development, and internal manufacturing staffs and our customers, which helps ensure that the products we develop and bring to market meet real customer needs.
Eagle’s new product development resources are focused on the development of new broadband, video, entertainment and communications products and services. In addition, we have formed strategic relationships with third-party suppliers and manufacturers, allowing the company to utilize the most advanced technology in the IPTVComplete, IP set-top-box and SatMAX product lines. We will continue to incur research and development expenses with respect to our IPTVComplete, IP set-top-box and satellite communications product lines during the current fiscal year.
Eagle has extensive expertise in the technologies required to develop advanced broadband, video, entertainment, communications and satellite communications products and services, enabling the company to develop enhancements to our existing products as well as develop competitive broadband, entertainment and communications products in the future. Investment in advanced computer-aided design tools for simulation and analysis allows us to bring new products to market faster. Research and development expenditures incurred by us for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $776,000, $557,000 and $411,000, respectively.
Manufacturing
The company currently subcontracts and/or provides limited manufacturing of its satellite communications products at its facilities in League City, Texas. Some subassemblies are manufactured for us by subcontractors at various locations throughout the world. Our manufacturing expertise resides in assembling subassemblies and final systems that are configured to customer specifications. The components and assemblies used in our products include electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, and semiconductors such as field programmable gate arrays, digital signal processors and microprocessors, and mechanical materials such as cabinets in which the systems are built.
Substantially all of the components and parts used in our products are available from multiple sources. In those instances where components are purchased from a single source, the supplier is reviewed for stability and performance. We also strive to have secondary suppliers, as well. Additionally, as necessary, we purchase sufficient quantities of components that have long-lead requirements in the world market. We ensure that all products are tested for quality and reliability prior to shipment to the customer.
We have determined that the most cost effective manufacturing method for our IP set-top box product line is to contract with offshore production facilities; supplemented by high-volume U.S.-based facilities. We have established relationships with manufacturers in Asia capable of producing a wide range of products that are recognized as pioneers in the field and are both ISO-9001 and ISO-9002 certified.
Competition
Industry experts project the IPTV market to grow rapidly over the next three to five years as telephone companies and other broadband providers face increasing competitive pressure and look for solutions to help them meet the demand from their customers for high-quality video and entertainment services. Because the IPTV market is expected to be lucrative for technology companies providing products and services that enable broadband providers to deliver IPTV services, it has attracted a large number of both new and established companies that are competing for IPTV business. These companies include providers of video infrastructure (e.g., video head-ends, etc.), content, distribution, and customer premise equipment (e.g., set-top boxes). In certain cases, the company may compete with these technology providers, in many cases we partner with them and utilize their products and services to provide our IPTV solution. The company believes that its IPTVComplete solution is unique in providing a turnkey, end-to-end IPTV solution providing the company with a competitive advantage; however, other companies offer competitive solutions that could affect sales of the company’s IPTV solutions.
Eagle competes with many established companies in the set-top-box business, including Scientific Atlanta, Motorola, and a number of smaller companies. The market for IP set top boxes is projected to continue to grow, fueled by increasing demand from hospitality operators, broadband providers and business enterprises. The projected growth has attracted both established companies as well as new entrants offering set-top box solutions. The company was first -to-market with its high-definition MediaPro set-top box, which provided the company with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Because of increased demand for IP set-top boxes in the residential IPTV market, competition is expected to increase; however, the company believes it is well positioned to win business from both new and existing set-top box customers.
The market for satellite communications services continues to grow as demand from government, military and commercial customers is fueled by the post-9/11 emphasis on reliable communications to enhance public safety and security, an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, etc.), as well as ongoing military operations. The company’s SatMAX satellite communications system is a proprietary, non-line-of-sight communications system that was designed to meet these needs. We are not currently aware of other companies in the U.S. that offer products that can provide similar, fully wireless, non-line-of-sight satellite-based voice and data communications services, providing the company with a unique competitive advantage. However, the satellite communications market has many large and small companies that provide satellite communications products and services.
Eagle’s broadband and security services compete directly and indirectly with many established companies and service providers that provide fiber and cable, structured wiring, broadband data/Internet, security monitoring, cable television and telephone services. Managed Services competes with many established companies in the fiber and cable, structured wiring and project management services areas. The use of the subcontractors located across the nation allows us to complete large projects in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
Proprietary Information
The company protects its proprietary technology through a combination of trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, patent applications, copyright filings, trademarks, technical measures, and common law remedies with respect to its proprietary technology. We have filed a number of patent applications but have not yet been issued any patents on our products, technology or processes against such applications. Any protections may not preclude competitors from developing products with features similar to our products. The laws of some foreign countries in which we sell or may sell our products may not protect our proprietary rights in the products to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Although we believe that our products and technology do not infringe on the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future. If litigation results in our inability to use technology, we might be required to expend substantial resources to develop alternative technology. There can be no assurance that we could successfully develop alternative technology on commercially acceptable terms.
Regulation
Several of our products operate on radio frequencies. Radio frequency transmissions and emissions, and certain equipment used in connection therewith, are regulated in the United States and internationally. Regulatory approvals generally must be obtained by us in connection with the manufacture and sale of our products and by customers to operate our products. There can be no assurance that appropriate regulatory approvals will continue to be obtained or that approvals required with respect to products being developed for the IPTV, set-top box, satellite communications and/or broadband services markets will be obtained. The enactment by federal, state, local or international governments of new laws or regulations or a change in the interpretation of existing regulations could affect the markets for our products. Although recent deregulation of international telecommunications industries along with recent radio frequency spectrum allocations made by the FCC have increased the demand for our products, there can be no assurance that the trend toward deregulation and current regulatory developments favorable to the promotion of new and expanded IPTV, broadband and communications services will continue or that future regulatory changes will have a positive impact on the company.
Employees
As of November 30, 2005, we had approximately 100 employees and retained independent contractors as necessary. We believe our employee relations are good. We also enter into independent contractual relationships with various individuals, from time to time, as needed.
Our headquarters are located in League City, Texas, and include approximately 25,550 square feet of leased office, production, and storage space. The lease expires in May 2009. We believe that our rental rates are at market prices. We insure our facilities in an amount that we believe is adequate and customary in the industry.
In December 2000, Clearworks.net, Inc. became a defendant in State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection vs. Reco-Tricote, Inc., and Southeast Tire Recycling, Inc., currently known as Clearworks.net, Inc., in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in and for Polk County, Florida. The Florida DEP included Clearworks in a lawsuit presenting claims for recovery costs and penalties for a waste tire processing facility. The suit seeks recovery of costs and penalties in a sum in excess of $1 million, attorneys’ fees and cost of court. Clearworks denies the claims against it and intends to vigorously contest all claims in this case and to enforce its indemnification rights against the principals of Southeast Tire Recycling. The company has not accrued any expenses against this lawsuit, as the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
In July 2003, Eagle became a defendant in Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., vs. Eagle Broadband, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 03-1860 (KSH), in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The suit presents claims for breach of contract, state and federal securities fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The plaintiff has also alleged that Eagle has defaulted on a convertible debenture for failing to timely register the shares of common stock underlying the convertible debenture and is seeking to accelerate the maturity date of the debenture. In November 2003, the principal balance of the debenture was repaid, although the suit remains outstanding. Cornell claims damages of approximately $1 million. The company denies the claims and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and the claims against it. Eagle has asserted counterclaims against Cornell for fraud and breach of contract in the amount of $2 million. The company has accrued $416,000 in expenses against this lawsuit, although the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
In September 2003, Enron sued United Computing Group in Enron Corp., et al., vs. United Computing Group, Inc., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to avoid and recover a transfer in the amount of approximately $1.5 million. In October 2005, the parties agreed to a dismissal of all adversary proceedings and claims against each other, and on November 9, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming such dismissal.
In June 2004, The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. sued Link Two Communications, Inc., and Eagle Broadband, Inc., Civil Action 04-CV-05776, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Tail Wind claims breach of contract seeking $25 million. The company is currently in negotiations with Tail Wind to settle this lawsuit and believes it can be settled out of court. For the year ended August 31, 2004, the company had accrued $500,000 in expenses for this lawsuit. As of August 31, 2005, the company has accrued an additional $4.5 million in expenses against this lawsuit for a total accrued liability of $5 million. This amount is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2005, as part of accrued expenses.
In November 2004, Palisades Master Fund L.P. sued Eagle Broadband, Inc., and David Weisman, Civil Action 04603626, in New York County, New York Supreme Court, seeking an injunction setting a conversion price on certain convertible debt and warrants at $0.4456 per share of Eagle common stock and damages in excess of $3.1 million. In April 2005, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending this lawsuit.
Eagle is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified above, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," Eagle makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Eagle believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. Eagle reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, Eagle believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
We intend to vigorously defend these and other lawsuits and claims against us. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, as well as other legal proceedings and claims with certainty. An adverse resolution of pending litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company's management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have adverse affect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

o | | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
o | | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |

The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock being registered for resale in this prospectus.
We are required to pay the fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Board Committees
Our Board of Directors has an executive committee, an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee.
Executive Committee

The Executive Committee has the authority to consider and make decisions on all matters requiring Board approval that arise between scheduled meetings of the Board, including the authority to authorize the sale and issuance of shares of the Company.

No member of the Company's Board is an executive officer of a company in which one of the Company's executive officers serves as a member of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of that company.
The board of directors has adopted, and the Company's shareholders have approved, the Company's 2005 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders and give it a competitive advantage by: (i) attracting and retaining executive personnel and other key employees of outstanding ability; (ii) motivating executive personnel and other key employees, by means of performance--related incentives, to achieve longer-range performance goals; and (iii) enabling such employees to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company by acquiring a proprietary interest in the Company.
General Administration of the Plan
The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors (the "Committee"). The Committee will be authorized to grant to key employees of the Company awards in the form of stock options, performance shares, and restricted stock. In addition, the Committee will have the authority to grant other stock-based awards in the form of stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards.
Each member of the Committee must be a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, an "independent director" as defined by American Stock Exchange rules and an "outside director" within the meaning of the Code. The Committee will select persons to receive grants from among the eligible participants, determine the types of grants and number of shares to be awarded to grantees, and set the terms, conditions, and provisions of the grants consistent with the Plan. The Committee has authority to amend awards and to accelerate vesting and/or exercisability of awards, provided that it cannot amend an outstanding option to reduce its exercise price or cancel an option and replace it with an option with a lower exercise price. The Committee may also establish rules for administration of the Plan.
Eligibility
The Committee will select grantees from among the key employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The eligible participants will be those who, in the opinion of the Committee, have the capacity for contributing in a substantial measure to the successful performance of the Company. All awards and the terms of any award to eligible participants who are members of the Committee must also be approved by the board of directors.
Shares Subject to the Plan
Subject to adjustment as described below, a maximum of 30,000,000 shares of Company common stock may be issued under the Plan. Any shares of Company common stock subject to awards that are forfeited or withheld in payment of any exercise price or taxes will again be available for grant. Also, if an award terminates without shares of Company common stock being issued, then the shares that were subject to the award will again be available for grant. The shares may be authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, or other relevant change affecting the Company's common stock, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to the number of shares available for grants and to the number of shares and price under outstanding grants made before the event.
Types of Awards Under the Plan
Stock Options
The Committee may grant awards in the form of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. With regard to each such option, the Committee will determine the number of shares subject to the option, the manner and time of the exercise of the option, and the exercise price per share of stock subject to the option; provided, however, that the exercise price of any "Incentive Stock Option" (as defined in the Plan) may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Company common stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price may, at the discretion of the Committee, be paid by a participant in cash, shares of Company common stock or a combination thereof. The period of any option shall be determined by the Committee, but no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised later than 10 years after the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option, of Company common stock for which an Incentive Stock Option is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year as to any participant shall not exceed the maximum limitation as provided in Section 422 of the Code. The effect of a grantee's termination of employment by reason of death, retirement, disability, or otherwise will be specified in the option agreement evidencing the grant of the option.
Stock Appreciation Rights
The Plan also authorizes the Committee to grant stock appreciation rights ("SARs"). Upon exercising an SAR, the holder receives for each share with respect to which the SAR is exercised, an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price (which may not be less than the fair market value of such share on the date of grant unless otherwise determined by the Committee) and the fair market value of the Company common stock on the date of exercise. At the Committee's discretion, payment of such amount may be made in cash, shares of Company common stock, or a combination thereof. Each SAR granted will be evidenced by an agreement specifying the terms and conditions of the award, including the effect of termination of employment (by reason of death, disability, retirement or otherwise) on the exercisability of the SAR. No SAR may have a term of greater than 10 years.
Under the Plan, the Committee may award restricted shares of the Company's common stock to eligible employees from time to time and subject to certain restrictions as determined by the Committee. The nature and extent of restrictions on such shares, the duration of such restrictions, and any circumstance which could cause the forfeiture of such shares shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee will also determine the effect of the termination of employment of a recipient of restricted stock (by reason of retirement, disability, death or otherwise) prior to the lapse of any applicable restrictions.
As of the date of this prospectus, a total of 303,086,275 shares of our common stock were outstanding. The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, certain information with respect to shares beneficially owned by: (a) each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock, (b) each of our current directors (c) the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table above (as of August 31, 2005), and (d) all current directors and executive officers as a group.
Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within sixty days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual voting power at any particular date.
To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of the individuals listed is Eagle Broadband, Inc., 101 Courageous Drive, League City, Texas 77573.

General
We are authorized to issue up to 350,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, a total of 303,086,275 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders. In the event of liquidation, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of assets remaining after payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences on the preferred stock, if any. Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights, and, accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares have the ability to elect all of the directors. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for shares. Subject to the prior rights of any series of preferred stock which may from time to time be outstanding, if any, holders of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available. The outstanding common stock is, and the common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
The board of directors has the authority, without action by our shareholders, to issue preferred stock and to fix voting powers for each class or series of preferred stock, and to provide that any class or series may be subject to redemption, entitled to receive dividends, entitled to rights upon dissolution or convertible or exchangeable for shares of any other class or classes of capital stock. The rights with respect to a series or class of preferred stock may be greater than the rights attached to our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of our preferred stock on the rights of holders of our common stock until our board of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock. The effect of issuing preferred stock could include one or more of the following:
o | | restricting dividends in respect of our common stock; |
| | |
o | | diluting the voting power of our common stock or providing that holders of preferred stock have the right to vote on matters as a class; |
| | |
o | | impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock; or |
| | |
o | | delaying or preventing a change of control of Eagle. |
Warrants and Options
As of November 30, 2005, we had outstanding options and warrants to purchase 14,120,595 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.135 to $7.50 per share, expiring on various dates through October 2010, of which options to purchase 6,306,689 shares were exercisable. The exercise prices of the vested employee stock options range from $0.135 to $7.50 per share, expiring on various dates through October 2010.
Registrar & Transfer Company, located in Crawford, New Jersey, is our transfer agent.
ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides our directors with protection for breaches of their fiduciary duties to us or our shareholders. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that would indemnify them against liability arising under the Securities Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons as provided in the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Our consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years ended August 31, 2005, appearing in this prospectus and the related registration statement have been audited by Lopez, Blevins, Bork & Associates, LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report on our audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and the related registration statement, and are included in reliance upon their report given upon the authority of Lopez, Blevins, Bork & Associates, LLP, as experts in accounting and auditing.
The validity of the issuance of the securities being offered hereby has been passed upon for us by Brewer & Pritchard, P.C., Houston, Texas.
In August 2004, we engaged Lopez, Blevins, Bork & Associates, LLP ("Lopez & Associates"), as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. Mr. Lopez was previously the audit manager primarily responsible for auditing our company when he was employed with Malone & Bailey, P.C. ("Malone & Bailey"). Mr. Lopez resigned from Malone & Bailey in August 2004 and formed his new accounting firm, Lopez & Associates.
The Audit Committee selected Lopez & Associates as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, and this selection was ratified by the shareholders on October 18, 2005.
Malone & Bailey's report dated December 5, 2003, except as to Note 2 on which date is July 27, 2004, on the Company's balance sheet as of August 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements, and in the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with Malone & Bailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Malone & Bailey would have caused Malone & Bailey to make reference to the matter in their report.
During the year ended August 31, 2003, and subsequent to August 31, 2003, through August 23, 2004, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Lopez & Associates regarding either the application of accounting principals to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered in the Company's financial statement, nor had Lopez & Associates provided the Company a written report or oral advise regarding such principles or audit opinion or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable event set forth in Item 304(a)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K with Malone & Bailey.
We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any document we file at the Security and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") public reference room located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference room. Our SEC filings are also available to the public from the SEC's web site at http://www.sec.gov.
To the Board of Directors
Eagle Broadband, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eagle Broadband, Inc. as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years ended August 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of Eagle Broadband, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eagle Broadband, Inc. as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eagle Broadband, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2005
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Eagle Broadband, Inc. (the “Company” or “Eagle”), incorporated as a Texas corporation on May 24, 1993, and commenced business in April of 1996. The Company is a provider of broadband, Internet Protocol (IP) and communications technology and services. The Company’s product offerings include IPTVComplete™, the MediaPro line of standard and high definition IP set-top boxes, and the SatMAX™ satellite communications system that provides civilian government, military, homeland security and corporate customers with non-line-of-sight, satellite voice and data communications from any location on Earth.
A) Consolidation
At August 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries were: Eagle Broadband Services, Inc., EBI Funding Corporation, Etoolz, Inc., Atlantic Pacific Communications, Inc., Eagle Wireless International, Inc., Clearworks.net, Inc., Clearworks Communications, Inc., Clearworks Home Systems, Inc., D.S.S. Security, Inc., United Computing Group, Inc., and Link-Two Communications, Inc.
As of August 31, 2005, the Company’s active subsidiaries were: Eagle Broadband Services, Inc., D.S.S. Security, Inc., operating as Eagle Broadband Security, EBI Funding Corporation, and Etoolz, Inc. Additionally, Eagle has a number of inactive subsidiaries that had results in one or more of the periods included in the financial statements covered by this report. These inactive subsidiaries include: Clearworks Communications, Inc., Clearworks.net, Inc., Clearworks Home Systems, Inc., Contact Wireless, Inc., United Computing Group, Inc., Atlantic Pacific Communications, and Link-Two Communications, Inc. Eagle has incorporated certain ongoing operations of the inactive subsidiaries into the active subsidiaries listed above, including Atlantic Pacific Communications, Inc. and Clearworks Communications, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
B) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits in banks which from time to time exceed the amount of deposit insurance available. Management periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that any potential credit loss is minimal.
The Company had $4,020,000 and $2,051,000 of cash and cash equivalents invested in interest bearing accounts at August 31, 2005 and August 31, 2004, respectively.
In conjunction with the Company’s agreement with a third-party provider, the Company has an irrevocable Letter of Credit secured with restricted cash of $203,000 as of August 31, 2005.
C) Allowance Method Used to Record Bad Debts
The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. The Company reviews its accounts receivable balances by customer for accounts greater than 90 days old and makes a determination regarding the collectibility of the accounts based on specific circumstances and the payment history that exists with such customers. The Company also takes into account its prior experience, the customer’s ability to pay and an assessment of the current economic conditions in determining the net realizable value of its receivables. The Company also reviews its allowances for doubtful accounts in aggregate for adequacy following this assessment. Accordingly, the Company believes that its allowances for doubtful accounts fairly represent the underlying collectibility risks associated with its accounts receivable.
D) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method for financial reporting and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The recovery classifications for these assets are listed as follows:
| Years |
Headend Facility and Fiber Infrastructure | 20 |
Manufacturing Equipment | 3-7 |
Furniture and Fixtures | 2-7 |
Office Equipment | 5 |
Leasehold Improvements | Life of lease |
Property and Equipment | 5 |
Vehicles | 5 |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred whereas major improvements are capitalized. Eagle has acquired all of its property and equipment with either cash or stock and has not capitalized any interest expenses in its capital assets.
E) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, the potential impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate that is considered to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the company’s current business model. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $4,279,405. (See Note 5.)
For the year ended August 31, 2004, management assessed long-lived assets for indicators of impairment and determined no impairment charge was required for fixed assets.
At August 31, 2003, management determined that a $7,611,000 non-cash impairment charge was necessary against realigned operations and the discontinued sale of low margin commodity products, residential and commercial structured wiring operations and the withdrawal from its Austin area BDS development based on the lack of demand for BDS services resulting from a slower build out of the development than originally projected in conjunction with local market competition. Included in the impairment was the write down of goodwill associated with the Comtel acquisition of $1,878,000.
The impairment loss for long-lived assets has been allocated on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset of the group has not reduced the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value. The adjusted carrying amount of the long lived assets is its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset.
F) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by using the FIFO method. Inventories consist of the following items, in thousands:
| | August 31, |
| | 2005 | | 2004 |
Raw Materials | | $ | 126 | | | $ | 294 | |
Work in Process | | | 676 | | | | 108 | |
Finished Goods | | | — | | | | 1 | |
| | $ | 802 | | | $ | 403 | |
In the year ended August 31, 2005, the company had an impairment charge of $300,000 related to a partial impairment of inventory on hand as of August 31, 2004. Management had reasonably identified prospects for this inventory at August 31, 2004, which did not materialize as planned in fiscal 2005.
G) Revenue Recognition
The Company designs, manufactures, markets and services its products and services under the names Eagle Broadband, Inc., Eagle Broadband Services, Inc., D.S.S. Security, Inc., doing business as Eagle Broadband Security, and EBI Funding Corporation.
Eagle adopted EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The impact of adopting EITF 00-21 did not have a material effect on Eagle’s results of operations. Eagle’s contracts that contain multiple elements as of August 31, 2004, or prior were immaterial. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, Eagle allocates revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, Eagle allocates revenue first to the fair value of the undelivered elements and allocates the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. Eagle limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
Deferred Revenues
Revenues that are billed in advance of services being completed are deferred until the conclusion of the period of the service for which the advance billing relates. Deferred revenues are included on the balance sheet as a current liability until the service is performed and then recognized in the period in which the service is completed. Eagle’s deferred revenues consist of billings in advance for cable, Internet, security and telephone services, which generally are between one and three months of services. Eagle’s deferred revenues also consist of revenues deferred in conjunction with a twelve-month holdback provision for two contracts executed in fiscal 2005 with Alarm Security Group LLC for purchases of security contracts. Eagle had deferred revenues of $623,000 and $96,000 as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Eagle Broadband, Inc.
Eagle designs, manufactures and markets various hardware, software and systems, along with other equipment used in the delivery of broadband, video entertainment and communications services. Revenues from these products are recognized when the product is shipped. Eagle Broadband Inc.’s international product revenues are reported under the category “Products” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
The Company designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of MediaPro IP set-top boxes. Eagle recognizes revenue when set-top boxes are shipped to the customer. The Company’s set-top box revenues are reported under the category “Products” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments. Revenue from software consists of software licensing. There is no post-contract customer support. Software revenue is allocated to the license using vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) or, in the absence of VSOE, the residual method. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines VSOE. In the absence of VSOE of a delivered element, Eagle allocates revenue to the fair value of the undelivered elements and the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Eagle recognizes revenue allocated to software licenses at the inception of the license.
The Company engages independent agents, resellers and distributors for sales principally in foreign countries and certain geographic regions in the United States. Under the terms of these agreements, these third parties provide the Company with sales leads. The transactions from these third parties are subject to Eagle’s approval prior to sale. In certain circumstances, the sales agent or reseller/distributor receives commissions based on the amount of the sales invoice from the companies to the customer. The sale is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer. These transactions are not a significant portion of total sales in any of the periods presented. Eagle’s Broadband, Inc., revenues are reported under the category “Products” on the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
The Company sells and installs structured wiring, audio and visual components to homes. Eagle recognizes revenue and the related costs at the time the services are performed. Revenue is derived from the billing of structured wiring to homes and the sale of audio and visual components to the homebuyers. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s residential structured wiring revenues are reported under the category “Structured Wiring” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “APC/HSI” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. (BDS)
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides bundled digital services to business and residential customers, primarily in the Texas market. Revenue is derived from fees charged for the delivery of bundled digital services, which includes telephone, long distance, Internet, security monitoring and cable services. This subsidiary recognizes revenue and the related costs at the time the services are rendered. Installation fees are recognized upon completion and acceptance. The revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides project planning, installation, project management, testing and documentation of fiber and cable to commercial and industrial clients throughout the United States. The revenue from the fiber and cable installation and services is recognized upon percentage of completion of the project. Most projects are completed in less than one month, therefore, matching revenue and expense in the period incurred. Service, training and extended warranty contract revenues are recognized as services are completed. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s communications services revenues are reported under the category “Structured Wiring” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “APC/HSI” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides business-to-business hardware and software network solutions and network monitoring services. The revenue from the hardware and software sales is recognized at the time of shipment. The monitoring services recognition policy is to record revenue on completion. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s technology services product revenues are reported under the category “Products” while the services components are reported under the category “Other” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “UCG” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
D.S.S. Security, Inc. (d/b/a Eagle Broadband Security)
D.S.S. Security, Inc. provides security monitoring services to residential and commercial customers, purchases and resells and bundles and sells contracts from its own portfolio to independent third-party companies. Security monitoring customers are billed three months in advance of service usage. The revenues are deferred at the time of billing and ratably recognized over the prepayment period as service is provided. Installation fees are recognized upon completion and acceptance. Revenues from the sale of security monitoring contracts, both purchased and owned, are recognized upon contract execution except for reserves, hold backs or retentions, which are deferred until the contract provisions are fulfilled. Eagle’s security services revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-3 of this report and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
Etoolz, Inc.
Etoolz, Inc. provides research and development support for all Eagle companies and does not currently provide billable services to independent third parties.
H) Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenditures are generally charged to operations as incurred. The Company performed research and development activities for internal projects related to its SatMAX non-line-of-sight communications system, IP set-top boxes and its multimedia entertainment centers. Research and development costs of $776,000, $557,000, and $411,000 were expensed for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. No research and development services were performed for outside parties for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003.
I) Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires a change from the deferral method to assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Timing differences exist between book income and tax income, which relate primarily to depreciation methods.
J) Net Earnings per Common Share
Net earnings per common share are shown as both basic and diluted. Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income less any preferred stock dividends (if applicable) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income less any preferred stock dividends (if applicable) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus any dilutive common stock equivalents. The components used for the computations are shown as follows, in thousands:
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2003 |
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding Including: | | | | | | |
Basic Common Stock Equivalents | | 241,234 | | 185,046 | | 95,465 |
Fully Diluted Common Stock Equivalents | | 241,234 | | 185,046 | | 95,465 |
K) Impairment of Other Intangible Assets
Our other intangible assets primarily include contract rights, customer relationships and other intangibles of licenses and permits and other acquired contracts. These intangible assets include the Company rights to deliver bundled digital services such as, Internet, telephone, cable television and security monitoring services to residential and business users. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be deemed necessary when the estimated non-discounted future cash flows are less than the carrying net amount of the asset. If an asset were deemed impaired, the asset’s recorded value would be reduced to fair market value. In determining the amount of the charge to be recorded, the following methods would be utilized to determine fair market value: (i) quoted market prices in active markets, (ii) an estimate based on prices of similar assets, and (iii) an estimate based on valuation techniques. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $23,912,668 related to intangible assets (see Note 6).
L) Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the fair value of their net assets at the dates of acquisition. Under current accounting pronouncement, the Company is required to annually assess the carrying value of goodwill associated with each of its distinct business units that comprise its business segments of the Company to determine if impairment in value has occurred. The Company updated its assessment as of August 31, 2005 and concluded that based on a valuation model incorporating expected future cash flows in consideration of historical cash flows and results to date, no impairment charge to goodwill was necessary. (See Note 6.)
M) Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. For the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company expensed $80,000, $29,000, and $247,000, respectively.
N) Deferred Syndication Costs
Deferred syndication costs consist of those expenditures incurred that are directly attributable to fundraising and the collection thereto. Upon successful collection of the funds, all expenses incurred will be reclassified to additional paid in capital and treated as syndication costs; netted against the funds raised.
O) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
P) Marketable Securities
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and SFAS No. 130, “Accounting for Other Comprehensive Income.” The Company had securities available for sale that included shares of common stock and bonds. These investments have a fair market value of $0 and of $551,000 and are included in the Balance Sheet category “Securities Available for Sale” as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. (See Note 11.)
Q) Other Comprehensive Income
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Other Comprehensive Income,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement considers the presentation of unrealized holding gains and losses attributable to debt and equity securities classified as available for sale. As stated, any unrealized holding gains or losses affiliated with these securities are carried below net income under the caption “Other Comprehensive Income.” For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, other comprehensive loss was $0, $321,000, and $71,000, respectively.
R) Reclassification
The Company has reclassified certain assets, costs and expenses for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, to facilitate comparisons.
S) Supporting Costs in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Other support costs for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 are as follows, in thousands:
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2003 | |
| | | | | | | |
Auto Related | | $ | 43 | | $ | 22 | | $ | 19 | |
Bad Debt | | | 568 | | | 2,643 | | | 2,177 | |
Delivery and Postage | | | 42 | | | 47 | | | 95 | |
Fees | | | 276 | | | 288 | | | 418 | |
Insurance and Office | | | 922 | | | 425 | | | 437 | |
Professional and Contract Labor | | | 11,532 | | | 6,818 | | | 6,129 | |

Repairs and Maintenance | | | 64 | | | 43 | | | 47 | |
Travel | | | 453 | | | 237 | | | 377 | |
Taxes | | | 2,794 | | | 1,474 | | | 170 | |
Telephone and Utilities | | | 428 | | | 794 | | | 1,394 | |
Other | | | 126 | | | 69 | | | 291 | |
Total | | $ | 17,666 | | $ | 13,367 | | $ | 12,737 | |
T) Recent Pronouncements
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 (“SFAS 145”), “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections,” which requires that the extinguishment of debt not be considered an extraordinary item under APB Opinion No. 30 (“APB 30”), “Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” unless the debt extinguishment meets the “unusual in nature and infrequent of occurrence” criteria in APB 30. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and, upon adoption, companies must reclassify prior period items that do not meet the extraordinary item classification criteria in APB 30. The Company adopted SFAS 145 and related rules as of August 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 145 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (“SFAS 146”), “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS 146 requires that costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized only when the liability is incurred (that is, when it meets the definition of a liability in the FASB’s conceptual framework). SFAS 146 also establishes fair value as the objective for initial measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS 146 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, which requires the Company to consolidate variable interest entities for which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and disclose information about variable interest entities in which it has a significant variable interest. FIN 46 became effective immediately for variable interest entities formed after January 31, 2003 and effective for periods ending after December 15, 2003, for any variable interest entities formed prior to February 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that this Interpretation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Statement No. 03-06 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 03-06”). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 became effective during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the adoption of which did not have an impact on the calculation of earnings per share of the Company.
In July 2004, the EITF issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 04-08, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share” (“EITF 04-08”). EITF 04-08 reflects the Task Force’s tentative conclusion that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. If adopted, the consensus reached by the Task Force in this Issue will be effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Prior period earnings per share
amounts presented for comparative purposes would be required to be restated to conform to this consensus and the Company would be required to include the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes in the diluted earnings per share computation for all periods during which the Notes are outstanding. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2004, the EITF delayed the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-01”) as included in paragraphs 10-20 of the proposed statement. The proposed statement will clarify the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and investments accounted for under the cost method. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on its financial position and results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 (also known as SFAS 123R) that amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS 123R’s effective date would be applicable for awards that are granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition methods: one that provides for prospective application and two that provide for retrospective application. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006, and it will have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of operations as the Company will be required to expense the fair value of stock option grants and stock purchases under employee stock purchase plan. It is expected that the adoption of SFAS 123R will cause the Company to record as expense each quarter a non-cash accounting charge approximating the fair value of such share-based compensation meeting the criteria outlined in the provisions of SFAS 123R.
U) Product Warranties
The Company warrants its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship generally for six months to a year. Other warranties from our vendors which are incorporated in our products are passed on to the customer at the completion of the sale. Provision for estimated warranty costs is made in the period in which such costs become probable. Historically, Eagle has not incurred any material warranty costs and, accordingly, Eagle has not accrued for these costs at August 31, 2005 and 2004. Eagle provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. Eagle engages in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers; however, ongoing product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure, as well as specific product class failures outside of Eagle’s baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
V) Beneficial Conversion Values
Beneficial conversion values are calculated at the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible. The beneficial conversion value is charged to interest expense because the debt is convertible at the date of issuance. The value is limited to the total proceeds received.
W) Direct Financing Leases
Income from direct financing lease transactions is reported using the financing method of accounting, in which the company investment in the leased property is reported as a receivable from the lessee to be recovered through future rentals. The income portion of each rental payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net receivable outstanding. All of our financing leases are for products related to the multi media industry. The term of our leases is typically 48 months and open ended leases, meaning that potential residual risk, or the difference between the fair market value of the equipment and the amount owed to us, lies with the customer.
NOTE 2 - Related Party Transactions
In February 2004, compensation for certain officers and key employees under incentive clauses of their employment contracts (i) includes a non-cash expense of $4,493,000 incurred on the issuance of promissory notes upon the modification of outstanding options for 4,200,000 common shares and (ii) reflects a guaranteed compensation of the modified options equivalent to $1.75 less the option strike price, which was an additional $4,074,000 accrued in August 2004. The amount of the accrual varies at each quarter end depending on the stock market value fluctuation or upon exercise of options subject to employment agreements.
In June 2005, the Company entered into note exchange agreements with Jonathan Hayden, Billie Mize, John Nagel and David Weisman in which the Company issued 7,954,085 shares of its common stock to fully satisfy the Company’s outstanding guarantee obligations in the amount of $2,086,251, and any remaining obligations under the promissory notes. The note
exchange agreements also fully satisfy the Company’s contingent guarantee obligation with respect to unexercised options held by Mr. Hayden and Mr. Nagel.
Dr. H. Dean Cubley, a director and former officer of the company, did not enter into the note exchange agreement. The remaining principal amount of $1,924,000 is currently in default and is accruing interest under the terms of the original agreement. For the year ended August 31, 2005, accrued interest payable and interest expense was $154,922.
NOTE 3 - Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of the following (in thousands):

Eagle expenses repairs and maintenance against income as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized. Eagle defines major improvements as those assets acquired that extend the life of the underlying base asset, while defining other improvements that do not extend the life as repairs and maintenance. Eagle expensed repairs and maintenance of $65,000, $43,000 and $47,000 for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, whereas it did not have any major improvements for the same time periods.
Eagle’s headend facilities and fiber infrastructure consist primarily of digital computing and telecommunications equipment that comprise the Company’s main headend facility at its headquarters, wireless headend equipment, a digital headend facility and a fiber backbone in the master planned communities in which it operates and a fiber ring connecting the various master planned communities in the Houston area. The Company determined that twenty-year straight-line depreciation method is appropriate for its headend facilities and fiber infrastructure based on industry standards for these asset types.

NOTE 5 - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets (asset groups) shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company’s market capitalization as of year ending August 31, 2005 has been below its shareholder equity which indicated the need to test for recoverability. The Company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, tests to determine if an impairment loss existed. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets.
These tests took into consideration a number of factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) the Company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the Company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business. Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 144, as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment of $3,229,405 existed for certain Houston-area communities where broadband infrastructure had been installed.
During the second quarter of 2005, the Company also determined an impairment loss existed primarily for Link-Two Communications, Inc.’s assets. Management determined that the value of the assets was nominal after a review of the marketplace and recorded an impairment loss of $1,050,000.
NOTE 6 - Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill and intangible assets be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability.
The Company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, an impairment test of the carrying value of intangible assets. Eagle has intangible assets related to goodwill, contracts, customers, and subscribers. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company determined there had been significant erosion of contracts, customers, and subscribers acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc.
The Company evaluated and considered two separate methodologies in conducting the analysis and selected the approach assigning the greater value realized from the present value technique or the quoted market approach. The following factors were considered (i) current market conditions, (ii) the Company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the Company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business.
Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 142, as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment charge of $23,912,668 existed for the intangible assets of contract rights, customer relationships and other intangible assets related to the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc.
Eagle assessed the fair value of goodwill as of August 31, 2005 and concluded that the goodwill valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying asset value. Eagle assessed the fair value of the intangible assets as of August 31, 2004 and concluded that the goodwill and other intangible assets valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying and other intangible assets value.
At August 31, 2003, management determined that a $7,611,000 non-cash impairment charge was necessary against realigned operations and the discontinued sale of low margin commodity products, residential and commercial structured wiring operations and the withdrawal from its Austin area BDS development based on the lack of demand for BDS services resulting from a slower build out of the development than originally projected in conjunction with local market competition. Included in the impairment was the write down of goodwill associated with the Comtel acquisition of $1,878,000.
NOTE 7 - Assets Held for Sale
The Company entered into an agreement to repurchase security contracts for $1,003,316. Under the terms of the agreement, $985,000 of the $1,003,316 was offset against a receivable the Company had from the seller. These contracts are considered an asset held for sale and are included in other current assets. The company resold approximately 63% of the contracts during the fourth quarter of 2005 and recognized a loss on sale of assets of $15,735 as of August 31, 2005. The Company determined the fair value of the contracts as of August 31, 2005 was $298,000 and recorded an impairment charge of $322,792 to record the contracts at fair value as of August 31, 2005. The Company intends to sell the remainder of these contracts during fiscal 2006.
NOTE 8 - Notes Payable
The following table lists the Company’s note obligations as of August 31, 2005, and August 31, 2004 (in thousands):

Total long-term debt | | | | | | | | $ | — | | $ | — | |
Between October 30, 2003, and November 5, 2003, the Company sold approximately $4.1 million of convertible debt securities to 36 accredited investors. The securities consisted of $25,000, 12% five-year bonds. The bonds are due and payable upon maturity at the end of the five-year period. Interest on the bonds is payable at the rate of 12% per annum, and is payable semiannually. The bondholder may require the Company to convert the bond (including any unpaid interest) into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time during the first year but not thereafter. The conversion rates vary from $0.50 to $0.75 per share. During the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, all of the bonds were redeemed and converted for stock.
Eagle entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 2, 2004, with four accredited investors, pursuant to which Eagle agreed to sell, and the investors agreed to purchase, debentures in the principle amount of $4,888,400 bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum, maturing in June 2007, convertible into an aggregate of 5,360,088 shares of Eagle common stock, together with five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,340,022 shares of Eagle common stock at an exercise price of $1.265 per share. During the year ended August 31, 2005, all of the bonds were redeemed and converted for stock.

NOTE 10 - Lines of Credit
On July 16, 2002, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 line of credit with Cornell Capital Partners, LP (CCP). The Company has not drawn on the line of credit and currently has no plans to do so. One of the issues of the litigation between CCP and the Company is whether the Company owes CCP a commitment fee for this line of credit. Cornell contends that the Company owes $592,500; the Company denies the liability. (See Note 16-Legal Proceedings.)
NOTE 11 - Securities Available for Sale
As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and SFAS No. 130, “Accounting for Other Comprehensive Income.” As of August 31, 2005, the Company had no marketable equity securities.
At August 31, 2004, the securities available for sale include 580,000 shares of Burst.com with a cost basis of $127,832 and a fair market value of $551,000. The Company recognized a loss of $899,347 on the sale of these securities for the year ended August 31, 2005. The Company’s marketable equity securities are classified as available for sale.
NOTE 12 - Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Implementation of SFAS 109 did not have a material cumulative effect on prior periods nor did it result in a change to the current year’s provision.
The effective tax rate for the Company is reconcilable to statutory tax rates as follows:
| | Year Ended August 31, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2003 | |
U.S. Federal statutory tax rate | | | 34 | % | | 34 | % | | 34 | % |
U.S. valuation difference | | | (34 | %) | | (34 | %) | | (34 | %) |

Foreign tax valuation | | | 0 | % | | 0 | % | | 0 | % |
Effective tax rate | | | 0 | % | | 0 | % | | 0 | % |
Income tax expense (benefit) attributable to income from continuing operations differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations as a result of the following (in thousands):
| | Year Ended August 31, | |

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of August 31, 2005, and August 31, 2004, was $70,846,000 and $51,486,000, respectively. As of August 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of $208,372,000 and $151,430,000, respectively, which are available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, with expirations from 2021 to 2023.
NOTE 13 - Stock Options and Warrants
In July 1996, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan under which 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance. In June 2004, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the June 2004 Compensatory Stock Option Plan under which 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock has been reserved for issuance. In June 2005, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the 2005 Employee Stock Option Plan under which 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock has been reserved for issuance. As of August 31, 2005, options issued to employees covering 11,737,968 shares were outstanding, of which 3,762,132 were exercisable.
The Company has elected to follow APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, since employee stock options are granted at market price on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. However, SFAS 123 requires presentation of pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for its employee
stock options granted under the fair value method of that statement. The weighted average fair value of the individual options issued and granted during the year ended August 31, 2005 is estimated as $0.41 on the date of grant. Management estimates the average fair value for options granted during fiscal 2005 to be comparable to those granted in fiscal 2004. The impact on net loss is minimal; therefore, the pro forma disclosure requirements prescribed by SFAS 123 are not significant to the Company. The fair values were determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | Year Ended August 31, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Dividend yield | | | 0.00% | | | 0.00% | |
Volatility | | | 83% | | | 91% | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.50% | | | 4.00% | |
Expected life | | | 5 | | | 5 | |
The pro forma effect on net loss as if the fair value of stock-based compensation had been recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock option or purchase right was as follows for the years ended August 31, 2005, and August 31, 2004:
| | Year Ended August 31, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2003 | |
Net loss, as reported | | $ | (57,010 | ) | $ | (39,005 | ) | $ | (36,501 | ) |

LLV Broadband, LLC Agreement
In August 2005, the Company and Neva Holdings, LLC (“Neva”), executed an agreement whereby the parties agreed to terminate the Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) that the parties entered into on November 23, 2004. The termination of the agreement provides for the Company’s withdrawal as a member of LLV Broadband, LLC (“LLC”), and complete release from any future obligations under the LLC Agreement. The terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement called for the Company to participate in the construction, development and operation of a system for the provision of a range of broadband, entertainment and communications services to the commercial, recreational and residential buildings located within the Lake Las Vegas Resort and surrounding geographical areas. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, the Company was required to make a capital contribution of between $3 million and $5 million to fund ongoing development and operating activities. The parties initially estimated that the LLC’s gross revenues would be approximately $15.5 million over a six-year period through the year 2010. As a result of the termination, the Company will not be required to make any additional capital contributions to the LLC and will not recognize any revenues from the LLC. The Company will not incur any early termination penalties associated with the termination of the LLC Agreement.
The service agreement entered into by the Company and the LLC in July 2003 remained in effect until November 4, 2005. Under this agreement, the Company provided video content, network monitoring and billing services to the LLC according to a previously agreed-to fee arrangement until November 4, 2005.
Legal Proceedings
In December 2000, Clearworks.net, Inc. became a defendant in State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection vs. Reco-Tricote, Inc., and Southeast Tire Recycling, Inc., currently known as Clearworks.net, Inc., in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in and for Polk County, Florida. The Florida DEP included Clearworks in a lawsuit presenting claims for recovery costs and penalties for a waste tire processing facility. The suit seeks recovery of costs and penalties in a sum in excess of $1 million, attorneys’ fees and cost of court. Clearworks denies the claims against it and intends to vigorously contest all claims in this case and to enforce its indemnification rights against the principals of Southeast Tire Recycling. The Company has not accrued any expenses against this lawsuit, as the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
In July 2003, Eagle became a defendant in Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., vs. Eagle Broadband, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 03-1860 (KSH), in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The suit presents claims for breach of contract, state and federal securities fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The plaintiff has also alleged that Eagle has defaulted on a convertible debenture for failing to timely register the shares of common stock underlying the convertible debenture and is seeking to accelerate the maturity date of the debenture. In November 2003, the principal balance of the debenture was repaid, although the suit remains outstanding. Cornell claims damages of approximately $1 million. The Company denies the claims and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and the claims against it. Eagle has asserted counterclaims against Cornell for fraud and breach of contract in the amount of $2 million. The company has accrued $416,000 in expenses against this lawsuit, although the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
In September 2003, Enron sued United Computing Group in Enron Corp., et al., vs. United Computing Group, Inc., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to avoid and recover a transfer in the amount of approximately $1.5 million. In October 2005, the parties agreed to a dismissal of all adversary proceedings and claims against each other, and in November 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders confirming dismissal of such proceedings and claims.
In June 2004, The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. sued Link-Two Communications, Inc., and Eagle Broadband, Inc., Civil Action 04-CV-05776, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Tail Wind claims breach of contract seeking $25 million. The Company is currently in negotiations with Tail Wind to settle this lawsuit and believes it can be settled out of court. For the year ended August 31, 2004, the Company had accrued $500,000 in expenses for this lawsuit. As of August 31, 2005, the Company has accrued an additional $4.5 million in expenses against this lawsuit for a total accrued liability of $5 million. This amount is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2005, as part of accrued expenses.
In November 2004, Palisades Master Fund L.P. sued Eagle Broadband, Inc., and David Weisman, Civil Action 04603626, in New York County, New York Supreme Court, seeking an injunction setting a conversion price on certain convertible debt and warrants at $0.4456 per share of Eagle common stock and damages in excess of $3.1 million. In April 2005, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending this lawsuit.
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings, including those identified above, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” Eagle makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
We intend to vigorously defend these and other lawsuits and claims against us. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, as well as other legal proceedings and claims with certainty. An adverse resolution of pending litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have adverse affect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 22 - Equity Financing
On February 14, 2005, the Company completed the sale of 20 million shares of its common stock to certain investors at a price of $0.41 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering after placement agent fees and offering expenses were $7,504,000.
On April 15, 2005, the Company additionally completed the sale of 10 million shares of its common stock to certain investors at a price of $0.2035 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering after placement agent fees were $1,935,000.
In August 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain investors for the sale of 30 million shares of its common stock at a price of $0.135 per share. As of August 31, 2005, 15,125,000 of the 30 million shares were issued. The remaining 14,875,000 shares were not issued due to notification from the AMEX to obtain shareholder approval. (See Note 24-Subsequent Events.) The net proceeds to the Company from this offering after placement agent fees were $3,766,500.
During the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a former employee whereby the Company utilized his services as a settlement consultant. Under the agreement, the consultant received approximately 15.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock that were liquidated by the consultant and the proceeds were used to discharge certain obligations of the Company. The consultant settled approximately $6.5 million in liabilities. In connection with this agreement, the company incurred fees of approximately $1.7 million. The settlement consultant also made cash advances to the company of approximately $1.4 million which was repaid in stock. Fees and interest incurred by the Company associated with the advances were approximately $362,000.
NOTE 23 - Exit Activities
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we implemented cost reductions in various operating segments. In the aggregate, the Company reduced its overall personnel by 114 headcount or a 50% reduction for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003 as compared to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002. The predominate reduction in headcount related to the Company’s Atlantic Pacific/Homes Systems structured wiring and commercial cabling segment with headcount reductions of nine, six and 57 personnel in the first three quarters of fiscal 2003; aggregating an overall headcount reduction of 72 or 71% of this segment’s workforce. Additionally, the Company reduced its United Computing Group computer hardware sales segment by 18, nine, and two personnel in the first three quarters of fiscal 2003; aggregating an overall reduction of 29 or 59% of this segment’s workforce. These two operating segments accounted for 101 of the 114 headcount reductions affected in fiscal 2003. Specifically, certain components of these operating segments, i.e., home systems structured wiring, commercial cabling and computer hardware sales, were not expected to provide significant long-term revenues and profitability, and therefore were reduced. Following the series of cost reduction activities implemented during the first three quarters of fiscal 2003, Eagle’s management assessed the viability of continued financial investment in these unprofitable segments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and into early first quarter of fiscal 2004 and made further reductions. In conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Weisman as our new Chief Executive Officer in early October 2003, the Company completed the final consolidation of the United Computing Group segment into other Eagle operations while further reducing the Atlantic Pacific/Home Systems operations to an outsource commercial cabling and structured wiring operation that project manages affiliate contractors.
Additionally, in conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Weisman as Chief Executive Officer, the Company made certain decisions during the preparation of its Form 10-K in our first quarter of fiscal 2004 that affected the value of certain assets as of August 31, 2003. These decisions included:
· | A revised collection assessment of certain accounts receivables from these and other down-sized Eagle business segments. |
· | The decision to no longer pursue new commercial structured cabling opportunities on a direct basis versus the outsource model, thereby resulting in the impairment of goodwill from its Atlantic Pacific operations. |
· | The decision to no longer pursue Home Systems structured wiring opportunities on a direct standalone model basis outside its BDS model, thereby resulting in the impairment of its Home Systems inventory. |
· | The decision to withdraw from certain unprofitable BDS projects, namely its Austin area BDS developments thereby impairing certain assets including property, plant and equipment. |
· | The decision to settle numerous existing and threatened legal proceedings versus continuing the timing consuming and costly process of defending such proceedings, thereby resulting in the accrual of numerous reserves for such settlements. |
· | The decisions to consolidate its operating segments into its corporate lease space, thereby resulting in reserves for property lease settlements. |
· | The decision to negotiate the settlement of certain sales tax liabilities that resulted from a sales tax audit of United Computing Group operations for periods that preceded the acquisition date of this subsidiary. |
Accordingly, Eagle incurred certain asset impairments and operating charges in the fourth quarter associated with these decisions. These asset impairment charges, allowances, write-offs and reserves included the following:
· | Accounts receivable write-offs and reserves aggregating $2,177,000, of which $1,348,000 was attributable to the decisions affecting the Company’s Atlantic Pacific/Home Systems operations, $15,000 attributable to the decisions affecting its United Computing Group operations and $814,000 attributable to the Company’s Eagle, EBS and Other segment operations. |
· | Inventory impairment charges of $2,627,000, of which $501,000 was attributable to the decisions affecting the Company’s Atlantic Pacific/Home Systems operations and $74,000 attributable to the decisions affecting its United Computing Group operations. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,125,000 for slow-moving and obsolete inventory in its Eagle operations. This charge primarily resulted from a major client’s decision to upgrade from a 400 MHz chip to a 500 MHz chip for the Company’s IP set top box. |
· | Litigation settlement costs and reserves of $3,650,000 against certain of the legal proceedings previously discussed in Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Additionally, the Company recorded charges aggregating $2,274,000 to settle threatened and existing legal proceeding associated with prior financing transactions, including the Kaufman litigation. |
· | Lease settlement costs and reserves of $171,000 were attributable to the decision to consolidate various operating segments into its corporate lease space; thereby resulting in reserves for early exit of such leases. |
· | Impairment, write-downs and restructuring costs aggregating $7,611,000, of which $1,878,000 was attributable to an impairment of goodwill in the Company’s Atlantic Pacific operations following the Company’s decision to no longer pursue commercial cabling opportunities on a direct basis versus an outsource model. These costs were also comprised of $3,412,000 in impairment of property and equipment following the Company’s decision to withdraw from certain unprofitable BDS projects, namely in the Austin area, and $323,000 of impairment of property and equipment from the Company’s Atlantic Pacific/Home Systems operations following the decision to no longer pursue structured wiring opportunities on a direct standalone basis outside of its BDS model. Additionally, the aggregate total included a $553,000 charge for certain sales tax liabilities that resulted from an audit of the Company’s United Computing Group operations for time periods that preceded the acquisition date of this operation. |
Eagle incurred approximately $96,000 for severance and accrued vacation related to employees terminated in fiscal 2003. Eagle does not expect to incur any additional future period costs associated with such restructuring activities other than those accrued for and recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.
An analysis of accrued costs and amounts charged against the provision follows:
| | Beginning Balance 8/31/2003 | | Period Costs (Additional) | | Payments | | Ending Balance 8/31/2004 | |
Accrued Exit Expenses: | | | | | | | | | |
Severance | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | |

| | $ | 171,000 | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | 171,000 | |
For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company incurred exit costs of $267,000 which are principally severance and lease termination costs. The total expected exit costs for severance and terminated leases are $96,000 and $171,000, respectively. These costs are included in the consolidated statement of income under the categories of salaries and related costs and other support costs.
These period and accumulated costs are included in the segment reporting as follows:
| | APC/HSI | | EBS/DSS | | UCG | | Eagle | | Other | | Total | |
Severance | | $ | 37,000 | | $ | 24,000 | | $ | 14,000 | | $ | 21,000 | | $ | — | | $ | 96,000 | |

NOTE 24 - Subsequent Events
In August 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain investors for the sale of 30 million shares of its common stock at a price of $0.135 per share, and received total gross proceeds of $4,050,000. On August 26, 2005, the American Stock Exchange approved for listing 15,125,000 of these shares and notified the Company that shareholder approval was required for the issuance of the remaining 14,875,000 shares. On September 2, 2005, the Company voluntarily placed the funds received for the 14,875,000 shares ($2,008,125) into an escrow account pending the shareholder vote. On September 8, 2005, the Company sent a revised proxy statement to its shareholders adding a fourth proposal to be
voted on at its 2005 annual meeting of shareholders, which was scheduled to be held September 20, 2005, to approve the issuance of the 14,875,000 shares. On September 15, 2005, the Company announced its plan to adjourn the 2005 annual meeting until October 18, 2005, to allow shareholders adequate time to receive the revised proxy statement and consider the added proposal. At the October 18, 2005 meeting, shareholders approved the issuance of the 14,875,000 shares, and on October 19, 2005, the escrowed funds were released to the Company. On October 21, 2005, the Company applied for listing the 14,875,000 shares with the American Stock Exchange and received approval on November 17, 2005. The Company paid a placement agent a cash commission of 7% of the gross dollar proceeds, and agreed to issue such agent a five-year warrant to purchase 843,750 shares of Eagle common stock at an exercise price of $0.24 per share, expiring on August 31, 2010.
In October 2005, the Company and Enron Corp. agreed to a dismissal of all adversary proceedings and claims against each other in the proceedings filed against the Company by Enron in September 2003. In November 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders confirming dismissal of such proceedings and claims.
On October 18, 2005, the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company was held in League City, Texas. At the meeting, four proposals were voted on by the shareholders. The first proposal was for the election of directors of the Company. The following persons were elected: Robert Bach, H. Dean Cubley, Glenn Goerke, David Micek, Lorne Persons, C.J. Reinhartsen and James Yarbrough. The second proposal was to approve the 2005 Employee Stock Option Plan, which was approved by a vote of approximately 72 million shares for and approximately 25 million shares against. The third proposal was to ratify the appointment of Lopez, Blevins, Bork and Associates, LLP, as the Company’s auditors for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, which was approved by a vote of approximately 229 million shares for and approximately 9 million shares against. The last proposal was to approve the issuance of 14,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was approved by a vote of approximately 66 million shares for and approximately 17 million shares against.
In November 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party, under which the Company has agreed to lease the network and infrastructure used to deliver its bundled digital services for ten years. The Company’s obligation to lease the network and infrastructure is contingent upon the third party obtaining the financing necessary to fund the payments due under the agreement.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
The following table sets forth an itemized statement of all estimated expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered:
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that: "No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders or members for monetary damages for any act or omission in such director's capacity as a director, except for (i) a breach of such director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders or members; (ii) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the director to the Corporation, or an act or omission that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) a transaction from which a director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director's office; or (iv) an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute."
Our Articles further provide that: "The Corporation shall indemnify all current and former directors and officers of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the applicable law, including, without limitation, Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act." The Texas Business Corporation Act generally provides that a director may not be indemnified in respect of a proceeding (1) in which the person is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person's official capacity; or (2) in which the person is found liable to the corporation.
Section 10.2 of our Bylaws provide that "The Company shall indemnify every Indemnitee [which includes officers and directors] against all judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in which he was, is or is threatened to be named defendant or respondent, or in which he was or is a witness without being named a defendant or respondent, by reason, in whole or in part, of his serving or having served, or having been nominated or designated to serve, in any of the capacities referred to in Section 10.1, if it is determined in accordance with Section 10.4 that the Indemnitee (a) conducted himself in good faith, (b) reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his Official Capacity, that his conduct was in the Company's best interests and, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the Company's best interests, and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that in the event that an Indemnitee is found liable to the Company or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the Indemnitee the indemnification (i) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding and (ii) shall not be made in respect of any Proceeding in which the Indemnitee shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company. Except as provided in the immediately preceding proviso to the first sentence of this Section 10.2, no indemnification shall be made under this Section 10.2 in respect of any Proceeding in which such Indemnitee shall have been (x) found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the Indemnitee's Official Capacity, or (y) found liable to the Company. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not of itself determinative that the Indemnitee did not meet the requirements set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) in the first sentence of this Section 10.2. An Indemnitee shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the Indemnitee shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom. Reasonable expenses shall, include, without limitation, all court costs and all fees and disbursements of attorneys for the Indemnitee. The indemnification provided herein shall be applicable whether or not negligence or gross negligence of the Indemnitee is alleged or proven." Section 10.4 referred to above provides that: "Any indemnification under Section 10.2 (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Company only upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who, at the time of such vote, are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (b) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors, duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of all Directors (in which designated Directors who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding may participate), such committee to consist solely of two (2) or more Directors who, at the time of the committee vote, are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (c) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof by vote as set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 10.4 or, if
the requisite quorum of all of the Directors cannot be obtained therefor and such committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of all of the Directors (in which Directors who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding may participate); or (d) by the shareholders in a vote that excludes the shares held by Directors that are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding. Determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by special legal counsel, determination as to reasonableness of expenses must be made in the manner specified in clause (c) of the preceding sentence for the selection of special legal counsel. In the event a determination is made under this Section 10.4 that the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct as to some matters but not as to others, amounts to be indemnified may be reasonably prorated."

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act; |
| |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. |
(b) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(c) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(d) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
(e) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-1 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in League City, Texas on December 2, 2005.
