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 $29,000 and $12,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, 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.

These contracts are classified in other current assets. The Company intends to sell the remainder of these contracts during fiscal 2006.
NOTE 7 - 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:
| | November 30, 2005 | | August 31, 2005 | |
U.S. Federal statutory tax rate | | | 34% | | | 34% | |
U.S. valuation difference | | | (34%) | | | (34%) | |
Effective U.S. tax rate | | | 0% | | | 0% | |
Foreign tax valuation | | | 0% | | | 0% | |
Effective tax rate | | | 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):
| | November 30, 2005 | | August 31, 2005 | |
Computed expected tax benefit | | | (887 | ) | | (19,360 | ) |

Net deferred tax assets | | | — | | | — | |
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of November 30, 2005, and August 31, 2005, was $71,733,000 and $70,846,000, respectively. As of November 30, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of $210,981,000, which is available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, with expirations from 2021 to 2023.
NOTE 8 - 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 November 30, 2005, options issued to employees covering 12,403,818 shares were outstanding, of which 4,524,287 were exercisable.
The Company has adopted FASB Statement 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” effective September 1, 2005, for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006. SFAS 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” As permitted under SFAS 123R, the Company adopted the modified prospective method on September 1, 2005. In accordance with the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. (See Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Note 17-Supplemental Non-Cash Disclosures.)
The weighted average fair value of the individual options issued and granted during the three months ended November 30, 2005 is estimated as $0.77 on the date of grant. The fair values were determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | November 30, | |
| | 2005 | �� | 2004 | |
Dividend yield | | | 0.00% | | | 0.00% | |
Volatility | | | 90% | | | 91% | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.50% | | | 4.00% | |
Expected life | | | 5 years | | | 5 years | |
Prior to September 1, 2005, the Company followed 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. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, 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 three months ended November 30, 2004:
| | Three months ended November 30, 2004 | |
Net loss, as reported | | $ | (4,448 | ) |
Add: Stock-based employee compensation included in reported net earnings/(loss), net of related tax effects | | | — | |

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 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. As of November 30, 2005, and August 31, 2005, the Company has accrued $5 million in expenses against this lawsuit.
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.
In October 2005, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County, Civil Action 1-05-CV-050179, against certain individuals whose identities are unknown, for unfair business practices and defamation. The Company believes these individuals have deliberately posted false and misleading information on the Yahoo! Finance message board for the purpose of injuring the Company in several ways including, but not limited to, deflating the price of the Company’s stock and reaping profits from their illegal activities. The Company is seeking to enjoin these individuals from continuing such conduct, in addition to the full measure of damages and other remedies permitted by law.
In December 2005, the Company sued Neva Holdings, LLC (“Neva”) and other entities affiliated with Neva, Civil Action 05-CV-1525, in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, for breach of the Termination Agreement entered into in August 2005 between the Company and Neva. The Company is seeking to recover payments in excess of $800,000 for hardware and equipment delivered and services rendered pursuant to the Termination Agreement, in addition to attorneys’ fees and pre- and post-judgment interest.
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.

Set forth below is a table presenting summarized sales information for our business segments for the three months ended November 30, 2005 and 2004:
($ in thousands) | | Three Months Ended November 30, | | | | | |
Business Segment | | 2005 | | % of Total | | 2004 | | % of Total | | $ Change | | % Change | |
Structured Wiring | | $ | 422 | | | 22% | | $ | 262 | | | 17% | | $ | 160 | | | 61% | |
Broadband Services | | | 852 | | | 44% | | | 1,216 | | | 80% | | | (364 | ) | | (30%) | |
Products | | | 622 | | | 32% | | | 26 | | | 2% | | | 596 | | | 2,292% | |
Other | | | 38 | | | 2% | | | 24 | | | 1% | | | 14 | | | 59% | |
Total | | $ | 1,934 | | | 100% | | $ | 1,528 | | | 100% | | $ | 406 | | | 27% | |
For the three months ended November 30, 2005, net sales increased to $1,934,000 from $1,528,000, compared to the three-month period ended November 30, 2004. The overall increase of 27% was attributable to a $596,000 increase in the company’s product sales, an increase of $262,000 in structured wiring operations, a decrease of $364,000 in the company’s broadband services sales; and a $14,000 increase in other sales. The $596,000 increase in product sales includes sales of IP set-top boxes, IPTVComplete and SatMAX units.
The decrease of $364,000 in broadband services is primarily attributable to the decline in recurring security monitoring sales resulting from the sales of certain security monitoring contracts in the company’s portfolio to Alarm Security Group, LLC. The $262,000 increase in structured wiring sales corresponded to the company’s previously announced strategy to provide solutions to broadband and service provider partners within the BDS model. The $14,000 increase in other sales was primarily attributable to financing income lease payments for products related to the multimedia industry.
Cost of Goods Sold
The following table sets forth summarized cost of goods sold information for the three months ended November 30, 2005 and 2004:
| | Three Months Ended November 30, | | | | | | | |
($ in thousands) | | 2005 | | 2004 | | $ Change | | % Change | |
Direct Labor and Related Costs | | $ | 500 | | $ | 262 | | $ | 238 | | | 91% | |
Products and Integration Services | | | 255 | | | 38 | | | 217 | | | 571% | |
Structured Wiring Labor and Material | | | 289 | | | 175 | | | 114 | | | 65% | |
Broadband Services Costs | | | 144 | | | 920 | | | (776 | ) | | (84%) | |
Depreciation and Amortization | | | 229 | | | 290 | | | (61 | ) | | (21%) | |
Total Cost of Goods Sold | | $ | 1,417 | | $ | 1,685 | | $ | (268 | ) | | (16%) | |
For the three months ended November 30, 2005, cost of goods sold decreased by 16% to $1,417,000 from $1,685,000 as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2004. The overall decrease of $268,000 was primarily attributable to the company’s decrease in base broadband services provided. The company’s overall gross profit percentage was 27% for the three months ended November 30, 2005, compared to an overall negative gross profit percentage of 10% for the three months ended November 30, 2004. This substantial increase in gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in depreciation expense for BDS assets and (ii) a decrease in broadband service costs as the company continued to realign staff and resources to concentrate on the three core offerings of the company: IPTV solutions, satellite communications and providing solutions to broadband and service provider partners.

For the three months ended November 30, 2005, operating expenses decreased by 27% to $3,157,000 as compared to $4,342,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. The primary fluctuations that occurred as evidenced by the two preceding tables immediately above are discussed below:
· | A $1,838,000 decrease in other support costs, the components of which are set forth on the table included immediately above, that was primarily due to (i) a $923,000 decrease in bad debt expense for the collection of receivables deemed uncollectible in prior years that were collected in November 2005 and (ii) a $1,229,000 decrease in professional fees and contract labor, including a decrease of $1,040,000 in consulting fees, $145,000 decrease in accounting fees and $172,000 decrease in legal fees. These decreases were offset by a $142,000 increase in delivery fees for warranty product and a $182,000 increase in other fees that included costs associated with a purchase obligation to share monthly satellite transponder costs associated with the delivery of the company’s IPTVComplete service. |
· | A $1,151,000 increase in salaries and related costs that included an increase of $90,000 for Board of Directors compensation, a non-cash charge of $266,000 for compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, and a non-cash charge of $321,000 to expense prepaid commissions related to security contracts sold to a third party in November 2005. Salaries and related costs for the period ending November 30, 2004, were reduced for a market to market adjustment of $336,000 related to guaranteed compensation. No similar adjustment was required for the period ending November 30, 2005. |
· | A $480,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for long-lived assets and intangibles that had impairment charges recorded for the year ended August 31, 2005, thus decreasing the depreciable basis and related depreciation expense for the quarter ended November 30, 2005. |
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2005, was $2,634,000, compared to a net loss of $4,448,000 during the three months ended November 30, 2004.
Changes in Cash Flow
Eagle’s operating activities used net cash of $2,855,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2005, compared to use of net cash of $870,000 in the three months ended November 30, 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 non-cash charges, totaling $856,000 combined with $1,077,000 of cash provided by fluctuations in working capital requirements consisting of the combination of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Eagle’s investing activities provided net cash of $777,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2005, compared to cash used of $188,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2004. The increase was due primarily to the release of a $675,000 surety bond for a completed project. Eagle’s financing activities provided net cash of $91,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2005, compared to $519,000, of cash used in the three months ended November 30, 2004. The increase was due to the execution of a short-term note payable for insurance. (See Note 18-Equity Financing.)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current assets for the three months ended November 30, 2005, totaled $7,027,000 (includes cash and cash equivalents of $2,236,000) as compared to $8,370,000 reported for the year ended August 31, 2005. During the three months ended November 30, 2005, net proceeds of $2,008,215 were released from escrow to Eagle for the sale of 14,875,000 shares sold to investors in August 2005. The funds were voluntarily placed in escrow by the Company on September 2, 2005 pending approval by shareholders for issuance of such shares. The shareholders approved the issuance at the annual meeting on October 18, 2005.
The company anticipates that it will incur significantly less capital expenditures for broadband fiber infrastructure as a result of an emphasis of the sale of its BDS services to municipalities, real estate developers, hotels, multi-tenant units and service providers that own or will build a their own fiber networks. Historically, the company built out these networks, thereby incurring significant capital expenditures. The company incurred approximately $2,000 in capital expenditures during the three months ended November 30, 2005. The company currently intends to continue its nationwide expansion into the delivery of bundled digital services using partnerships and joint marketing agreements funded through cash in amounts equal to or exceeding expenditures in fiscal 2005 as well as through equity securities.
The company expects that certain of its liabilities listed on the balance sheet under the headings Accounts Payable, Accrued Liabilities and Notes Payable will be retired by issuing stock versus cash during the next 12 months. The company has historically used stock for retirement of certain liabilities on a negotiated basis. Eagle expects to continue its practice of retiring certain liabilities as may be negotiated through a combination of cash and the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock. The company cannot quantify the amount of common stock expected to be issued to retire such debts at this time and as such will report these results on a quarterly basis.
Historically, we have financed operations through the sale of debt and equity securities. During the year ended August 31, 2005, we raised $13,958,000 cash through the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of derivative securities. We do not have any significant 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 either obtain financing from external sources or generate internal liquidity from operations in the future, we may need to curtail operations or sell assets.
Contractual Obligations
The following table sets forth contractual obligations as of November 30, 2005:
(Thousands of dollars) Contractual Obligations | | Total | | Less than 1 year | | 1-3 years | | 3-5 years | | More than 5 years | |
Notes Payable Obligations | | $ | 152 | | $ | 152 | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | |

Total | | $ | 4,102 | | $ | 827 | | $ | 2,675 | | $ | 600 | | $ | — | |
The company’s contractual obligations consist of current notes payable as set forth in Note 5-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 11-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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of November 30, 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 for the year ended August 31, 2005. 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.
For the quarter ending November 30, 2005, management has determined there are no changes in circumstances since the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005 to indicate testing for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) is required.
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 was 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 the year ended August 31, 2005. 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. 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. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the company had an additional impairment charge of $322,792 on assets held for sale.
For the quarter ending November 30, 2005, management has determined there are no changes in circumstances or events that have occurred subsequent to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005 to indicate testing for recoverability was required.
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 $511,000 as of November 30, 2005, which of this total, $411,608 is deferred for security contracts sold to a major customer. As of August 31, 2005, the company had deferred revenues of $623,000.
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 15-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 15-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 15-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 15-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.

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 15-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 15-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 15-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 15-Industry Segments.
Receivables
For the quarter ended November 30, 2005, Eagle accounts receivable increased to $2,258,000 from $1,890,000 at August 31, 2005. The majority of this increase was due to the sale of set-top boxes to a major customer at the end of November in the amount of $236,000 which was collected subsequent to the end of the quarter.
The company’s accounts receivable aging, as measured by days sales outstanding (DSO), totaled 53 days at November 30, 2005, and 47 days at August 31, 2005, on an adjusted basis after recording the write-offs and reserves. The increase in DSO from 47 days at August 31, 2005, to 53 days at November 30, 2005, was primarily attributable to several slow paying customers.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $154,000 and $2,688,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2005 and the year ended August 31, 2005, respectively. These allowances for doubtful accounts amounts represented 6% and 59% of the gross accounts receivable balances for the quarter ended November 30, 2005 and the year ended August 31, 2005. They represented 36% and 82% of the company’s greater than 90-day accounts for the quarter ended November 30, 2005, and the year August 31, 2005. The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts from August 31, 2005 to November 30, 2005, was attributable to (i) the collection of a receivable previously included in the allowance and (ii) the direct write off of a receivable previously deemed uncollectible in a prior year.
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 November 30, 2005, Eagle’s inventory totaled $707,000 as compared to $802,000 at August 31, 2005. The majority of this decrease is for a sale that occurred during the quarter. 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 two transition methods: the modified prospective method or the modified retrospective method. The company adopted SFAS 123R commencing in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006. The Company adopted the modified prospective method on September 1, 2005. In accordance with the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The company does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on its results of operations or its financial position.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of November 30, 2005. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There has been no change in the company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation as of the end our first fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2005, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
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.
In October 2005, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County, Civil Action 1-05-CV-050179, against certain individuals whose identities are unknown, for unfair business practices and defamation. The Company believes these individuals have deliberately posted false and misleading information on the Yahoo! Finance message board for the purpose of injuring the Company in several ways including, but not limited to, deflating the price of the Company’s stock and reaping profits from their illegal activities. The Company is seeking to enjoin these individuals from continuing such conduct, in addition to the full measure of damages and other remedies permitted by law.
In December 2005, the Company sued Neva Holdings, LLC (“Neva”) and other entities affiliated with Neva, Civil Action 05-CV-1525, in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, for breach of the Termination Agreement entered into in August 2005 between the Company and Neva. The Company is seeking to recover payments in excess of $800,000 for hardware and equipment delivered and services rendered pursuant to the Termination Agreement, in addition to attorneys’ fees and pre- and post-judgment interest.

(1) | Pursuant to Article 2.28(B) of the Texas Business Corporation Act, the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast was required to pass each of Proposals 2 and 4. Significantly fewer shares voted on each of Proposals 2 and 4 than voted on Proposal 1, the election of directors, and Proposal 3, the ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. “Broker non-votes” accounted for this difference in voted shares. For certain types of “non-routine” proposals, such as Proposals 2 and 4, brokers do not have the discretionary authority to vote their clients’ shares, and therefore they must refrain from voting on such proposals in the absence of instructions from their clients. |
