The holder has the right to cause the notes to be converted into common stock. If the holder does not convert the note, the Company must pay the notes in cash and pay a 25% redemption fee.
The notes are secured by all assets of the Company, excluding a certain lease agreement with a third party. In order to induce Dutchess to purchase the note, an officer of the Company provided a first priority security interest in all stock options granted to date to this officer.
The convertible note was determined to include free standing warrants and various embedded derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities are the conversion feature, conversion price, reset provision and the Company’s optional early redemption right and cash payment penalty (compound embedded derivative liability). At the date of issuance (February 10, 2006) the convertible note, warrant liabilities and compound embedded derivative liability were measured at fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. At inception, the fair value of this single compound embedded derivative’s was bifurcated from the host debt contract and recorded as a derivative liability which resulted in a reduction of the initial notional carrying amount of the Convertible Note. The derivative liability will be marked-to-market each quarter with the change in fair value recorded in the income statement. The Company uses the effective interest method to record interest expense and related debt accretion which will be $312,408 and $510,092 for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, respectively.
The following table summarizes the fair market value of the derivative instruments and convertible debt activity for Dutchess for the period February 10, 2006 to May 31, 2006:
Description | | Note Payable | | Warrant Liabilities | | Compound Derivative Liability | | Total |

Fair value at May 31, 2006 | | $ | 144,699 | | $ | 141,860 | | $ | 222,740 | | $ | 509,299 |
For the nine months ended May 31, 2006 the Company recorded a net credit to derivative expense of $386,429 and convertible debt interest expense of $13,059. The excess discount to the convertible note of $55,930 was expensed to interest expense upon the issuance of the Dutchess convertible note for total convertible interest expense of $205,496. The Company issued 6,500 shares of common stock on May 22, 2006, to convert $20,415 of the principal amount due under the convertible debenture with Dutchess.
TAIL WIND NOTES
On February 15, 2006, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with The Tail Wind Fund Ltd., pursuant to which the Company made a cash payment of $100,000, issued two convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $2,750,000, issued a $400,000 non-convertible promissory note and entered into a stock payment obligation of $1,750,000.
To satisfy the $1,750,000 stock payment obligation, the Company issued 627,240 shares of common stock on May 18, 2006. The Settlement Agreement provides that if the closing price of our common stock on the date the stock was issued is greater than the closing price on the date the registration statement registering such shares is declared effective, then a price reduction amount will be added to the original principal amount of one of the convertible notes. As of May 31, 2006, the price reduction amount increased the convertible note by $413,979 with a corresponding decrease to Additional Paid in Capital.
The convertible notes bear no interest and mature on March 1, 2008. The convertible notes are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the daily volume weighted average price of the stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. On the maturity date, the Company has the option to pay any principal amount balance then outstanding in cash or convert such balance into its common stock at a conversion price equal to 95% of the daily volume weighted average price of the stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the maturity date.
The convertible notes were determined to include various embedded derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities are the conversion feature, conversion price, reset provision and the registration rights (compound embedded derivative liability). At the date of issuance (February 15, 2006) the convertible notes and compound embedded derivative liability were measured at fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. At inception, the fair value of this single compound embedded derivative’s was bifurcated from the host debt contract and recorded as a derivative liability which resulted in a reduction of the initial notional carrying amount of the convertible notes. The derivative liability will be marked-to-market each quarter with the change in fair value recorded in the income statement. The Company uses the effective interest method to record interest expense and related debt accretion which will be $52,691, $98,697 and $49,983 for fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
The following table summarizes the fair market value of the derivative instruments and convertible debt activity for Tail Wind Convertible Notes for the period February 15, 2006 to May 31, 2006:

NOTE 6 - 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:
| | May 31, 2006 | | August 31, 2005 |
U.S. Federal statutory tax rate | | 34% | | 34% |
U.S. valuation difference | | (34%) | | (34%) |

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of May 31, 2006, and August 31, 2005, was $73,950,000 and $70,846,000, respectively. As of May 31, 2006, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of $187,380,000, which is available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, with expirations from 2021 to 2023.
NOTE 7 - Stock Options and Warrants (See Note 1)
DUTCHESS WARRANTS
On February 10, 2006, the Company entered into a five-year warrant agreement (the “Warrant”) with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P., granting Dutchess the right to purchase up to 78,333 shares (see Note 1) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.15 per share, subject to a reset provision whereby the exercise price would be adjusted downward in the event the Company issued its common stock to others at a price below $3.15 per share. This reset provision represents an embedded derivative, which has not been bifurcated from the host warrant contract (as both are derivatives) and has a derivative liability at its fair value at date of inception utilizing the Black-Scholes method with a probability weighted exercise price. This fair value model comprises multiple probability-weighted scenarios under various assumptions reflecting the economics of the warrant, such as risk free interest rate, expected volatility, and likelihood of reset events. The assumptions used at February 10, 2006 were a risk-free interest rate of 4.59%, volatility of 85%, expected term of 5 years, dividend yield of 0.00% and a probability weighted exercise price of $.086. The common stock warrant and the embedded warrant price reset provision were initially fair valued at $281,492 at February 10, 2006. At inception, the amount of the value assigned was applied as a discount to the notional amount of the Convertible Note. See Note 5 for valuation and marked-to-market activity.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
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 have been reserved for issuance. In February 2006, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company voted to amend the Plan to reduce the shares available for issuance under the Plan from 30,000,000 to 20,000,000. On May 12, the Company effected a 1-for-35 reverse stock split, which reduced the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan to 571,429. As of May 31, 2006, 6,978 shares have been issued under the Plan, and options issued under the Plan covering 422,344 shares were outstanding, of which 172,233 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)
The weighted average fair value of the individual options issued and granted during the nine months ended May 31, 2006 is estimated as $4.60 on the date of grant. The fair values were determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| | May 31, |
| | 2006 | | 2005 |
Dividend yield | | | 0.00% | | | | 0.00% | |
Volatility | | | 97% | | | | 91% | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.5% | | | | 4.00% | |
Expected life | | | 5 years | | | | 4.5 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 was recognized under APB 25. SFAS 123R 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 nine months ended May 31, 2006:
| | Nine months ended May 31, 2005 |
Net loss, as reported | | $ | (18,773 | ) |
Add: Stock-based employee compensation included in reported net earnings/(loss), net of related tax effects | | | (61 | ) |

NOTE 8 - Risk Factors
For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, substantially all of the Company’s business activities have remained within the United States. Approximately 27% of the Company’s revenues and receivables have been created solely in the state of Texas, 0% in the international market, and the approximate 73% remainder relatively evenly over the rest of the nation during the nine months ended May 31, 2006; whereas approximately 33% of the Company’s revenues and receivables were created solely in the state of Texas, 1% in the international market, and the approximate 66% remainder relatively evenly over the rest of the nation during the nine months ended May 31, 2005. Through the normal course of business, the Company generally does not require its customers to post any collateral.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash in banks and uncollateralized accounts receivable. As of May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, the Company had $58,160 and $4,318,000, respectively, of uninsured deposits at financial institutions.

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, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The suit presents claims for breach of contract, common law fraud, 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. Eagle asserted counterclaims against Cornell for fraud and breach of contract in the amount of $2 million. On March 28, 2006, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff on certain claims, granting the plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment on its breach of contract claim and all of Eagle’s counterclaims. The court ruled in favor of Eagle on other claims, granting Eagle’s motion for summary judgment on plaintiff’s claims for common law fraud, state and federal securities fraud, and negligent misrepresentation. The Company has accrued $750,000 in expenses against this lawsuit.
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.
In May 2006, the Company filed a demand for arbitration before JAMS in Los Angeles, California, in connection with an agreement between the Company and GlobeCast North America Incorporated. The Company is seeking an arbitral award declaring that either (i) the agreement is unenforceable, (ii) both parties are excused from performance due to the existence of a force majeure event, or (iii) the Company is excused from performance due to GlobeCast’s prior breach of the agreement. In June 2006, GlobeCast filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial District in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida (Case No. 06-11822), seeking damages in excess of $1,000,000 it alleges are due under the agreement and raising a number of the same issues that are the subject of the pending arbitration. The Company intends to vigorously prosecute the California arbitration and defend its right to have all disputes between the parties resolved by binding arbitration, however, the Company cannot control the outcome and the extent of the losses, if any, that may be incurred.
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.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2006, the Company converted accrued liabilities of $4,900,000 to current and long-term debt for the Tail Wind settlement (see Note 5). The Company issued 627,240 shares of common stock to satisfy a note payable of $1,750,000 with Tail Wind. The Settlement Agreement provides that if the closing price of our common stock on the date the stock was issued is greater than the closing price on the date the registration statement registering such shares is declared effective; then a price reduction amount will be added to the original principal amount of one of the convertible notes. As of May 31, 2006, a price reduction amount increased one of the convertible notes by $413,979 with a corresponding decrease to Additional Paid in Capital. The Company issued 6,500 shares of common stock on May 22, 2006, to convert $20,415 of the principal amount due under the convertible debenture with Dutchess. During this same period, stock payable of $2,008,215 was relieved to issue 425,000 shares sold to investors in August 2005.
NOTE 16 - Equity Financing (See Note 1)
In February 2006, the Company entered into an investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. (“Dutchess”), which was amended in March 2006. The nature of the investment agreement is commonly known as an equity line of credit. The maximum amount the Company may raise under the equity line is $5,000,000, provided we register enough shares to raise this amount. The Company is not obligated to request the entire $5,000,000. Over a period of 36 months, we may periodically deliver new issue shares of our common stock to Dutchess, which then delivers cash to us based on a price per share tied to the current market price of our common stock. The actual number of shares that we may issue subject to the investment agreement is not determinable as it is based on the market price of our common stock from time to time. As of May 31, 2006, the Company issued 342,857 shares of common stock for proceeds of $334,800.
In August 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain investors for the sale of 857,143 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.725 per share, and received total gross proceeds of $4,050,000. On August 26, 2005, the American Stock Exchange approved for listing 432,143 of these shares and notified the Company that shareholder approval was required for the issuance of the remaining 425,000 shares. On September 2, 2005, the Company voluntarily placed the funds received for the 425,000 shares ($2,008,125) into an escrow account pending the shareholder vote. At the October 18, 2005 meeting, shareholders approved the issuance of the 425,000 shares, and on October 19, 2005, the escrowed funds were released to the Company. On October 21, 2005, the Company applied for listing the 425,000 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 24,107 shares of Eagle common stock at an exercise price of $8.40 per share, expiring on August 31, 2010.
NOTE 17 - Exit Activities
On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party to acquire the assets of D.S.S. Security, Inc. for a purchase price of $1,400,000. The purchase price allocated $400,000 to an accounts receivable balance for contracts purchased in prior quarters and $1,000,000 to customer contracts. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a loss of the sale of fixed assets of $163,000, bad debt expense of $373,000, and a loss of $104,000 for security contracts that were classified on the Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2005 as Other Assets.
To ensure a smooth transition to the purchaser and no disruptions in service for security monitoring customers, the Company agreed to provide the use of the existing central station (which was not included as part of the acquired assets) , all associated monitoring equipment and assets and the employees necessary to provide monitoring services for 24/7 monitoring through 12:01 a.m. on April 1, 2006.
Eagle also agreed to a non-competition period whereby until the six-year anniversary of the Closing date, the Company would not engage in (i) the design, merchandising, distribution, service, installation or sale of any of any products or goods designed, merchandised, distributed, serviced, installed or sold in connection with the security business prior to the Closing Date or (ii) the provision of any services or the design, manufacture, merchandising, distribution, service, sale or installation of any products or goods that are similar to, may be used as substitutes for, are in competition with or may detract from any of the products, within the State of Texas. Eagle is not prevented from providing the following managed services to third parties: (i) security-related computer hardware installation, (ii) IP surveillance computer hardware and software and (iii) cabling installation.
The Company incurred approximately $31,000 for severance and accrued vacation related to employees terminated in connection with this transaction. These costs are included in the consolidated statement of income under the categories of salaries and related costs and other support costs. Eagle does not expect to incur any additional future period costs related to this transaction.
NOTE 18 - Financial Condition and Going Concern
The Company has incurred a loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2006, of $9,193,000 and has an accumulated deficit at May 31, 2006, of $223,309,000. Because of its losses, the Company will require additional working capital to develop its business operations. The Company intends to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is pursuing additional financing and is evaluating all financing options currently available to the Company. The Company currently has available a three-year, $5,000,000 equity line of credit to help fund working capital requirements (see Liquidity & Capital Resources).
Management will continue to direct all efforts to the delivery of the IPTVComplete solution to the market. Within the last six months, the Company has exited the residential security monitoring business, entered into an operations agreement with a third party to operate the majority of Eagle’s traditional cable business, and materially reduced operating expenses and headcount. In continued efforts to improve the operating position of the company, management is implementing further cost cutting efforts which are expected to further reduce operating expenses over the next six months. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its objectives.
NOTE 19 - Subsequent Events
In June 2006, the Company entered into a short-term promissory note with Ron Persons, the brother of Lorne Persons, Jr., a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The note has a principal balance of $250,000 and an annual interest rate of 25%. The note is to be paid in full by August 31, 2006. The proceeds were used for working capital requirements.
During June and July 2006, the Company issued 750,522 shares of common stock to Dutchess under the equity line of credit and received proceeds of $879,634 therefrom.

Executive Overview
Eagle Broadband, Inc. (the “Company” or “Eagle”), is a provider of broadband, Internet protocol (IP) and satellite communications products and services. The Company’s business activities are focused on the following core areas:
| · | IPTVComplete™, delivering over 200 channels of digital television content via IP to many market sectors, such as to multi-dwelling unit operators (e.g., condominiums) or telephone companies, including Eagle’s MediaPro standard or high-definition set-top boxes for both hospitality and IPTV customers; |
| · | SatMAX®, Eagle’s patented satellite telephony extension technology for indoor applications for enterprise, military and other government customers, especially in portable First Responder situations with Eagle’s new Alpha “SatMAX in a Suitcase” model; and |
| · | Managed Services, through which Eagle provides various IP and satellite-related technology implementations to a broad cross section of markets, including remote network management, structured cabling and IT integration services. |
To execute the strategy of focusing on business opportunities in these core areas, the Company is pursuing raising additional capital for future operations and building the head-end infrastructure needed for Eagle’s IPTVComplete solution. In the last six months, the Company has exited the residential security monitoring business, entered into an operations agreement with a third party to operate the majority of Eagle’s traditional cable business, and materially reduced operating expenses and headcount. In continued efforts to improve the operating position of the company, management is implementing further cost cutting efforts which are expected to further reduce operating expenses over the next six months. In June 2006, the Company brought to market a new high definition set-top box, the IP3000HD. The IP3000HD is a highly capable, yet inexpensive solution for both hospitality markets and IPTV customers.
Due to the occurrence of an unexpected change involving the delivery of IPTVComplete during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the expected recurring IPTV revenue stream, which had been anticipated to begin during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year, is now anticipated to occur in the first quarter of the next fiscal year. This change in circumstances is being directly addressed with Eagle proceeding independently to build its own super head-end this summer in Miami. Eagle has contracted for signal delivery co-location space at the NAP of the Americas in Miami and is currently arranging for a teleport as part of building its own super head-end. During the third quarter, the Company successfully delivered in an extensive field trial of over 100 channels of IPTV content via fiber to a third party in Miami. This field trial demonstrated that our IPTV technology works and establishes that Eagle can successfully deliver a complete IPTV solution over fiber optic cable.
As of May 31, 2006, the Company’s active subsidiaries were: Eagle Broadband Services, Inc., EBI Funding Corp. 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: D.S.S. Security, Inc., Clearworks Communications, Inc., Clearworks.net, Inc., Clearworks Home Systems, Inc., Contact Wireless, Inc., United Computing Group, Inc., Atlantic Pacific Communications, Inc., 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.
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 nine months ended May 31, 2006.

Overview
For the three months ended May 31, 2006, the Company’s business operations reflected a continued emphasis on its strategy to focus on business opportunities in its three main operating divisions: IPTV solutions, satellite communications and broadband services. For the quarter ended May 31, 2006, the Company’s consolidated operations generated net sales of $859,000 with a corresponding negative gross profit of $295,000. The overall decrease in net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2006, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2005, was primarily attributable to a prior year sale of $1,390,000 of security monitoring contracts to a major customer. The Company exited the residential security monitoring business as of February 28, 2006, and anticipated replacing the recurring revenues from security monitoring with recurring revenues for delivery of the IPTVComplete solution. Due to unforeseen complications, this did not occur for the quarter ended May 31, 2006. Management anticipates the revenue stream from IPTVComplete to begin occurring in the first quarter of the upcoming fiscal year.
The Company incurred a net loss of $2,487,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2006.
The Company’s net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2006, included $1,182,000 in salary expense, $473,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses, $223,000 in research and development expenses, and $545,000 in other support costs including shared monthly satellite transponder costs associated with the delivery of the Company’s IPTVComplete service.

For the three months ended May 31, 2006, net sales decreased to $859,000 from $2,976,000 compared to the three month period ended May 31, 2005. The overall decrease of 71% was attributable to a $636,000 decrease in the Company’s product sales, an increase of $122,000 in structured wiring operations, a $1,599,000 decrease in the Company’s broadband services sales, and a $4,000 decrease in other sales. The $636,000 decrease in product sales was primarily attributable to a prior year sale totaling $323,000 by two major customers for set-top boxes. The decrease of $1,599,000 in broadband services is primarily attributable to the prior year sale of security monitoring contracts of $1,390,000 with a major customer that was executed with the Company’s broadband services division. The $122,000 increase in structured wiring sales is attributable to the Company’s increased sales force pursuing commercial structured wiring and cabling opportunities.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, net sales decreased to $4,560,000 from $7,188,000 during the nine-month period ended May 31, 2005. The overall decrease of 37% was primarily attributable to a prior year sale of set-top boxes of $1,065,000 to a major customer. The $374,000 increase in structured wiring sales is attributable to the Company’s focused efforts to pursue commercial structured wiring and cabling opportunities. The $1,382,000 decrease in broadband services is primarily attributable to the sale of the Company’s security-monitoring service subsidiary, D.S.S. Security, Inc., and a prior year security systems sale to Sweetwater Capital LLC of $756,000 along with the prior year sale of security monitoring contracts of $1,390,000 with a major customer that was executed with the Company’s broadband services division. The $1,634,000 decrease in product sales is primarily attributable to a prior year sale of $1,065,000 for set top boxes to a major customer.

For the three months ended May 31, 2006, cost of goods sold decreased by 52% to $1,154,000 from $2,383,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2005. The overall decrease of $1,229,000 was primarily attributable to a reduction in labor costs associated with retail security monitoring, along with a prior year’s cost of $759,000 for design and expedite changes. The Company’s overall negative gross profit percentage was 34% for the three months ended May 31, 2006, compared to an overall gross profit percentage of 20% for the three months ended May 31, 2005.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, cost of goods sold decreased by 48% to $4,035,000 from $7,710,000 during the nine months ended May 31, 2005. The Company’s overall gross profit percentage of 12% for the nine months ended May 31, 2006 represents a significant improvement as compared to an overall negative gross profit percentage of 7% for the nine months ended May 31, 2005. The substantial improvement in gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to a decrease in product and integration service costs and 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 May 31, 2006, operating expenses significantly decreased by 63% to $2,070,000, as compared to $5,573,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2005. The primary fluctuations that occurred as evidenced by the two preceding tables immediately above are discussed below:
| · | A $2,837,000 decrease in other support costs as the Company continued to focus efforts on reducing operational overhead and controlling expenditures. The components of the decrease set forth on the table included immediately above were primarily due to (i) a $1,857,000 decrease in professional fees and contract labor which includes legal, accounting and consulting fees (ii) a $620,000 decrease in taxes due to a decrease in assessed property taxes with certain taxing authorities and (iii) a $217,000 decrease in insurance and office expenses. |
| · | A $201,000 decrease in salaries and related costs due to a reduction in headcount to 52 employees for the three months ended May 31, 2006, as compared to 112 employees for the three months ended May 31, 2005. |
| · | A $538,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for long-lived assets and intangibles. These assets had impairment charges recorded for the year ended August 31, 2005, thus decreasing the depreciable basis and related depreciation expense for the quarter ended May 31, 2006. |
For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, operating expenses significantly decreased by 49% to $9,120,000 as compared to $17,844,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2005. The primary fluctuations that occurred as evidenced by the two preceding tables immediately above are discussed below:
| · | A $5,314,000 decrease in other support costs as the Company continued to focus efforts on reducing operational overhead and controlling expenditures. The components of the decrease were primarily due to (i) a $433,000 decrease in bad debt expense for collection of receivables deemed uncollectible in prior years, (ii) a $93,000 decrease in fees, primarily due to a $68,000 decrease in license and permit fees, (iii) a $3,710,000 decrease in professional fees and contract labor which includes legal, accounting and consulting fees, (iv) a $1,000,000 decrease in assessed property taxes with certain taxing authorities and (v) a decrease of $320,000 for insurance and office expenses. These decreases were offset by (i) an increase of $453,000 in other expenses, which included costs associated with a purchase obligation to share monthly satellite transponder costs associated with the delivery of the Company’s IPTVComplete service and (ii) a 134,000 increase in delivery and postage, which is attributable to the expensing of $150,000 of prior year delivery charges that had previously been capitalized, offset by a reduction of about $16,000 in current year delivery and postage charges. |
| · | An impairment charge of $1,050,000 was recorded for the nine months ended May 31, 2005 for Link-Two Communications assets. No similar charge was required for the nine months ended May 31, 2006. |
| · | A $1,490,000 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 nine months ended May 31, 2006, as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2005. |
| · | A $876,000 decrease in salaries and related costs primarily due to the reduction in headcount from 112 employees at May 31, 2005, to 52 employees at May 31, 2006. The decrease was offset for the nine months ended May 31, 2006, for non-cash charges of $536,000 for compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and a non-cash charge of $611,000 to expense prepaid commissions related to security contracts sold to a third party. |
| · | A $34,000 decrease in research and development costs primarily due to product development and engineering activities in the Company’s IPTV, set top box and satellite communication product lines. |
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2006, was $2,487,000 compared to a net loss of $3,951,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2005. For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, the Company’s net loss was $9,193,000 as compared to a net loss of $18,773,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2005.
Changes in Cash Flow
Eagle’s operating activities used net cash of $5,038,000 in the nine months ended May 31, 2006, compared to use of net cash of $9,200,000 in the nine months ended May 31, 2005. The decrease in net cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to fund the Company’s net operating loss, net of non-cash charges, totaling $2,464,000 combined with $1,691,000 of cash used by fluctuations in working capital requirements consisting of the combination of accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Eagle’s investing activities provided net cash of $476,000 in the nine months ended May 31, 2006, compared to cash used of $1,151,000 in the nine months ended May 31, 2005. The increase was due primarily to proceeds from the sale of assets and an increase in amounts collected for direct financing leases. Eagle’s financing activities provided net cash of $803,000 in the nine months ended May 31, 2006, compared to $11,176,000, of cash provided in the nine months ended May 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a significant decrease in equity funding transactions for the nine months ended May 31, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current assets for the nine months ended May 31, 2006, totaled $2,523,000 (includes cash and cash equivalents of $261,000) as compared to $8,370,000 reported for the year ended August 31, 2005.
In March 2006, the Company entered into an operating agreement with 186KMPS Partners LLP (“186KMPS”). Pursuant to the agreement, 186KMPS assumed operation of the portion of the Company’s fiber-optic network that serves homes in Harris County and Fort Bend County, Texas. Beginning April 1, 2006, 186KMPS was responsible for payment of all ongoing expenses associated with the operation of the network. Therefore, the Company will incur significantly less capital expenditures for broadband fiber infrastructure as a result of this agreement. During the initial five-year term of the agreement, 186KMPS will pay the Company an aggregate amount of at least $875,000 for the operation and use of the network. The aggregate amount of such payments may be higher depending upon the amount of subscriber revenues received by 186KMPS during the term of the agreement. The agreement may be extended for up to three additional five-year terms at the option of 186KMPS.
In February 2006, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. (“Dutchess”), pursuant to which Dutchess will provide a three-year, $5,000,000 equity line of credit for the Company. Under this agreement, the Company may make drawdown requests on the equity line, and Dutchess is obligated to purchase a number of shares at a price equal 93% of the market price of our stock to fund the drawdown requests. The Company is currently using the equity line to provide funding for working capital requirements. To date, the Company has drawn down $1,214,434, and 1,093,379 shares have been issued to Dutchess pursuant to the equity line. The sale by Dutchess into the public market of the shares issued under the equity line of credit could depress the market price of our common stock.
In March 2006, the Company was advised by the American Stock Exchange that it deemed a reverse split to be appropriate in order to increase the price of the Company’s common stock. On April 18, 2006, the Company’s shareholders voted to approve a 1-for-35 reverse stock split, which was effected by the Company on May 12, 2006. One result of effecting the reverse split is that the number of shares outstanding were reduced, while the number of authorized shares remained unchanged. A portion of these authorized and unissued shares will be needed by the Company to draw down the equity line.
On March 22, 2006, a registration statement was filed with the SEC to register 351,429 shares (see Note 1) to be issued pursuant to the equity line. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 27, 2006. On May 15, 2006, a registration statement was filed with the SEC to register an additional 2,000,000 shares to be issued pursuant to the equity line. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 25, 2006.
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. If we are unable to timely utilize the equity line or raise additional financing, we will need to curtail operations or sell assets. The Company will continue to rely upon financing from external sources to fund its operations for the foreseeable future, and it will need to raise additional financing to fund working capital requirements.
Contractual Obligations
The following table sets forth contractual obligations as of May 31, 2006:
(Thousands of dollars) Contractual Obligations | | Total | | Less than 1 year | | 1-3 years | | 3-5 years | | More than 5 years |
Notes Payable Obligations | | $ | 1,574 | | $ | 1,574 | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — |
Long-Term Debt | | | 2,900 | | | — | | | 2,900 | | | — | | | — |

Total | | $ | 5,424 | | $ | 1,802 | | $ | 3,622 | | $ | — | | $ | — |
The Company’s contractual obligations consist of long term debt, derivative liabilities (current and long term), warrant liabilities (non-current) and current notes payable as set forth in Note 5-Notes Payable to the Company’s financial statements. The Company has certain obligations for office space operating leases requiring future minimal commitments under non-cancelable leases (see Note 9-Commitments and Contingent Liabilities to the Company’s financial statements).
In March 2006, the agreement between Eagle and GlobeCast North America to distribute Eagle’s IPTVComplete service using GlobeCast’s satellite distribution network was terminated. As a result, Eagle’s obligation to share the monthly satellite transponder costs has ceased as of March 31, 2006. However, Eagle was obligated to pay 50% of the termination liability for the early termination of the agreement between GlobeCast and the transponder provider. This obligation, in the amount of $202,500, was secured by an irrevocable letter of credit of $202,500 and was shown as restricted cash on the Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2005. This obligation was paid during the quarter ended May 31, 2006 (see Note 9).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of May 31, 2006, 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 May 31, 2006, 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 their 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 May 31, 2006, 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., and EBI Funding Corporation names.
Eagle adopted EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 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 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. Eagle had deferred revenues of $191,000 as of May 31, 2006. As of August 31, 2005, the Company had deferred revenues of $623,000, which included revenues deferred for a twelve-month holdback provision for security contracts sold to a major customer during fiscal year 2005.
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 and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 13-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 and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 13-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 and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 13-Industry Segments.
The Company sells and installs structured wiring and related customer premise equipment in residential customers’ homes. The 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 and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 13-Industry Segments.
Eagle 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 and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 13-Industry Segments.
Eagle 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 “Structured Wiring” while the services components are reported under the category “Other” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 13-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.

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 and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 13-Industry Segments.
On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party to acquire the assets of D.S.S. Security, Inc. for a purchase price of $1,400,000. The purchase price allocated $400,000 to an accounts receivable balance for contracts purchased in prior quarters and $1,000,000 to customer contracts. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a loss of the sale of fixed assets of $163,000, bad debt expense of $373,000, and a loss of $104,000 for security contracts that were classified on the Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2005 as Other Assets.
Receivables
For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, Eagle accounts receivable decreased to $559,000 from $1,890,000 at August 31, 2005. The majority of this decrease was due to the collection of a receivable for assets sold during the second quarter of the current fiscal year.
The Company’s accounts receivable aging, as measured by days sales outstanding (DSO), totaled 41 days at May 31, 2006, and 47 days at August 31, 2005, on an adjusted basis after recording the write-offs and reserves. The decrease in DSO from 47 days at August 31, 2005, to 41 days at May 31, 2006, was primarily attributable to more aggressive collection efforts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $207,000 and $2,688,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2006 and the year ended August 31, 2005, respectively. These allowances for doubtful accounts amounts represented 27% and 59% of the gross accounts receivable balances for the quarter ended May 31, 2006 and the year ended August 31, 2005. They represented 61% and 82% of the Company’s greater than 90-day accounts for the quarter ended May 31, 2006, and the year August 31, 2005. The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts from August 31, 2005 to May 31, 2006, 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 May 31, 2006, Eagle’s inventory totaled $590,000 as compared to $802,000 at August 31, 2005. The majority of this decrease is for sales of set-top
boxes that occurred for the nine months ended May 31, 2006. The Company outsources production as needed based on contract orders from customers.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for all derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133. Derivative financial instruments are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, measured at fair value.
In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as embedded derivative features, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
Derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we estimate fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. We have estimated the future volatility of our common stock price based on not only the history of our stock price but also the experience of other entities considered comparable to us. The fair value of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of the Company’s stock at the balance sheet date, the amount of shares converted by note holders and/or exercised by warrant holders. Consequently, our financial position and results of operations may vary from quarter-to-quarter based on conditions other than our operating revenues and expenses.
Under SFAS No. 133, all derivative financial instruments held by the Company are not designated as hedges.
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 May 31, 2006. 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 of the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In May 2006, the Company filed a demand for arbitration before JAMS in Los Angeles, California, in connection with an agreement between the Company and GlobeCast North America Incorporated. The Company is seeking an arbitral award declaring that either (i) the agreement is unenforceable, (ii) both parties are excused from performance due to the existence of a force majeure event, or (iii) the Company is excused from performance due to GlobeCast’s prior breach of the agreement. In June 2006, GlobeCast filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial District in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida (Case No. 06-11822), seeking damages in excess of $1,000,000 it alleges are due under the agreement and raising a number of the same issues that are the subject of the pending arbitration. The Company intends to vigorously prosecute the California arbitration and defend its right to have all disputes between the parties resolved by binding arbitration, however, the Company cannot control the outcome and the extent of the losses, if any, that may be incurred.
At the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on April 18, 2006, the shareholders elected each of the director nominees, approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-35 reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, approved the issuance of more than 20% of our outstanding stock in connection with a financing transaction with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P., approved the issuance of more than 20% of our outstanding stock in connection with a settlement agreement with the Tail Wind Fund Ltd., and ratified the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.

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 3 and 4. Significantly fewer shares voted on each of Proposals 3 and 4 than voted on Proposal 1, the election of directors, Proposal 2, the approval of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, and Proposal 5, 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 3 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.
