NOTE 5 - Stock Options and Warrants
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 November 30, 2006, 140,408 shares of common stock have been issued under the Plan, and options issued under the Plan covering 328,857 shares were outstanding, of which 226,762 were exercisable.
The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the quarter ended November 30, 2006, is estimated at $0.51 on the date of grant. The fair values of the options granted during the quarter ended November 30, 2006, were determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 75%, risk-free interest rate of 4.45% and an expected life of 5 years.
Option and warrant activity, including employees and third parties, was as follows for the three months ended November 30, 2006:

NOTE 6 - Risk Factors
Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. The company controls credit risk associated with its receivables through credit checks and approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. Generally, the company requires no collateral from its customers. Four customers comprise 18%, 14%, 11% and 11%, respectively, of outstanding receivables at November 30, 2006. Two customers comprise 34% and 13%, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable at August 31, 2006.
For the three months ended November 30, 2006, substantially all of the company’s business activities have remained within the United States. Approximately 22% of the company’s revenues and receivables have been created solely in the state of Texas, 0% in the international market, and the approximate 78% remainder relatively evenly over the rest of the nation during the three months ended November 30, 2006; whereas approximately 30% of the company’s revenues and receivables were created solely in the state of Texas, 0% in the international market, and the approximate 70% remainder relatively evenly over the rest of the nation during the three months ended November 30, 2005.
The company maintains cash deposits in banks which from time to time exceed the amount of deposit insurance available. Management periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that any potential credit loss is minimal.
NOTE 7 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Leases
For the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005, rental expenses of approximately $76,000 and $77,000, respectively, were incurred. Future minimum rental payments under the company’s primary office lease are as follows:

For the nine months ending | 2007 | | $ | 231,230 |

For the year ending | 2009 | | | 243,987 |
| Total | | $ | 800,533 |
Legal Proceedings
In August 2006, Eagle became a defendant in H. Dean Cubley vs. Eagle Broadband, Inc. Mr. Cubley, a former director of the company, filed a lawsuit against the company seeking to enforce a promissory note entered into by the company in December 2003, in lieu of the issuance of shares for stock options then held by Mr. Cubley, who was at the time Chairman of the Board of the company. The lawsuit seeks recovery of the principal balance of approximately $1.9 million plus $541,000 in interest. The company has asserted defenses, including a defense that the execution of the promissory note by the company was induced by misrepresentations. The company believes Mr. Cubley’s claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. The company has accrued $2.4 million in connection with this claim.
In May 2006, Eagle 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) both parties are excused from performance due to the existence of a force majeure event or (ii) the company is excused from performance due to GlobeCast’s prior breach of the agreement. GlobeCast denies that the agreement was unenforceable, that Eagle’s alleged failure to perform is excused and that there was a failure of any of the conditions precedent under the agreement. GlobeCast also asserts that Eagle owes GlobeCast at least $250,000 for Eagle’s alleged failure to pay GlobeCast in accordance with the agreement, and, in the alternative, owes GlobeCast at least $1.5 million under a claim for restitution. The company believes that its claims are meritorious and intends to vigorously pursue them, and that GlobeCast’s claims lack merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against them. The company has accrued $250,000 in connection with this lawsuit.
In September 2005, the State of Texas filed a lawsuit against United Computing Group, Inc., and H. Dean Cubley, individually, for unpaid sales and use tax, interest and penalties in the amount of $568,637 for the time period of March 1998 through December 2001. The company has accrued $560,000 in connection with this lawsuit.
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. Cornell also alleged that Eagle 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 $1.3 million. Eagle asserted counterclaims against Cornell for fraud and breach of contract in the amount of $2 million. In March 2006, the court ruled in favor of Cornell on certain claims, granting Cornell’s motion for partial summary judgment on its breach of contract claim and denying all of Eagle’s counterclaims. The court ruled in favor of Eagle on other claims, granting Eagle’s motion for summary judgment on Cornell’s claims of common law fraud, state and federal securities fraud, and negligent misrepresentation. The company has accrued $750,000 in settlement expense against this lawsuit.
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.
The company is involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings, including those identified above, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” Eagle makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The company reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, the company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
We intend to vigorously defend these and other lawsuits and claims against us. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, as well as other legal proceedings and claims with certainty. An adverse resolution of pending litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have adverse affect on the company’s financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 11 - Discontinued Operations
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 following table reports the results of the component of Eagle’s operations reported as discontinued operations:

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”), the results of operations of the disposed assets and the losses related to this sale have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 12 - Financial Condition and Going Concern
The company has incurred a loss for the three months ended November 30, 2006, of $3,461,000 and has an accumulated deficit at November 30, 2006, of $244,510,000. 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 $5,000,000 equity line of credit to help fund working capital requirements.
Management will continue to direct all efforts to the delivery of the IPTVComplete solution to the market. During the year ended August 31, 2006, 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 during the current fiscal year. However, there can be no assurance that the company will be successful in achieving its objectives.
NOTE 13 - Subsequent Events
In November 2006, the company received notice from the American Stock Exchange (the “Amex”) that the company is not currently satisfying certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards in Section 1003 of the Amex Company Guide concerning shareholders equity and losses from continuing operations. The company has been afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to Amex that demonstrates the company’s ability to satisfy Section 1003 of the Company Guide by May 29, 2008. The company submitted such a plan on January 5, 2007. With Amex’s acceptance of the plan, the company expects to continue its listing during the plan period of up to 18 months, during which time the company will be subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the plan. If Amex does not accept the company’s plan, or if accepted, the company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards at the end of the plan period or the company does not make progress consistent with the plan during such period, then Amex may initiate delisting proceedings.
In December 2006, the company entered into an agreement with Connex Services, Inc. (“Connex”), pursuant to which the company acquired all of Connex’s customers effective January 2, 2007. Connex is a Houston-based IT services company providing national and international project management services for data, voice, fiber-optic, wireless, hospitality systems, access control, audio and satellite installations. The acquired customer base consists of more that 50 clients, currently generating revenue at a rate of $600,000 annually. Connex received 1,203,774 shares of unregistered common stock of the company. In accordance with the agreement, on December 22, 2006, the company filed a registration statement with the SEC to register 754,717 of those shares for resale by Connex, which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on January 10, 2007.
In December 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 April 12, 2007. The proceeds were used for working capital requirements.
In December 2006, the company issued a total of 1,170,630 shares of common stock to The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. in connection with conversions of one of the convertible notes held by Tail Wind, reducing the balance of such note by $600,000.
In January 2007, the company entered into a private equity credit agreement with Brittany Capital Management Limited (“Brittany”) for a $5,000,000 equity line of credit. The company has agreed to file a registration statement to register shares for resale by Brittany that it may purchase from us under this agreement.

Executive Overview
Eagle Broadband, Inc. (the “company” or “Eagle”), is a provider of Internet protocol (IP), information technology services and satellite communications products and services. The company’s product offerings are:
| · | IPTVComplete™, delivering over 250 channels of digital television and music content via IP to many market sectors, such as to multi-dwelling unit operators (e.g., condominiums), triple-play operators (Internet data, phone and television, all over IP) or telephone companies, including our MediaPro standard or high-definition set-top boxes for both hospitality and IPTV customers; |
| · | IT Services, through which we provide various IP and satellite-related technology implementations to a broad cross section of markets, including remote network management, structured cabling and IT integration services; and |
| · | SatMAX®, our patented satellite telephony extension technology for indoor applications for enterprise, military and other government customers, especially in portable first responder situations with our Alpha “SatMAX in a Suitcase” model. |
In December 2006, the company entered into an agreement with Connex Services, Inc. (“Connex”), pursuant to which the company acquired all of Connex’s customers effective January 2, 2007. Connex is a Houston-based IT services company providing national and international project management services for data, voice, fiber-optic, wireless, hospitality systems, access control, audio and satellite installations. The acquired customer base consists of more that 50 clients, currently generating revenue at a rate of $600,000 annually. Connex received 1,203,774 shares of unregistered common stock of the company. In accordance with the purchase agreement, on December 22, 2006, the company filed a registration statement with the SEC to register 754,717 of those shares for resale by Connex, which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on January 10, 2007.
In September 2006, our super-headend facility in Miami, Florida, became operational. Over 250 channels of digital television and music content are now streaming in IP format from NewCom International’s Florida teleport to the NAP of the Americas for distribution over fiber to our IPTV customers. The “light-up” of this facility gives us the operational capability to collect and digitize a wide range of television content from up to 30 satellites over North America plus other Latin-content satellites over the Atlantic Ocean. Using 21 signal feeds from seven satellite dishes, our new super-headend facility currently delivers a broad range of cable channel content.
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. This set-top box also supports the H.264 standard for MPEG-4 and, therefore, can be used by specialty content owners to deliver their IPTV content over the open Internet, which is a different approach than that used by IPTVComplete, which is a closed IP network solution.
During fiscal year 2006, the company 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.
As of November 30, 2006, the company’s active subsidiaries were Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. and EBI Funding Corp. 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 intercompany 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.

Overview
For the three months ended November 30, 2006, the results of operations reflects a continued emphasis on management’s strategy to focus on business opportunities in its three main operating divisions: IPTV solutions, satellite communications and information technology services. For the quarter ended November 30, 2006, the company’s consolidated operations generated net sales of $968,000, with a corresponding negative gross profit of $130,000. The overall decrease in net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2006, as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2005, was primarily attributable to sales in the prior quarter of $436,000 to a major customer and no similar sales to this customer in the current quarter. The company exited the residential security monitoring business in February 2006, and management anticipated replacing the recurring revenues from security monitoring with recurring revenues for delivery of the IPTVComplete solution. Due to unforeseen delivery complications, this did not occur for the quarter ended November 30, 2006. Management anticipates the revenue stream from IPTVComplete to begin occurring in the second quarter of the current fiscal year.
The company’s operating loss for the three months ended November 30, 2006, was basically unchanged from the three-month period ended November 30, 2005. However, in the three-month period ended November 30, 2005, the company recognized a credit to bad debt expense of approximately $900,000 due to the collection of a receivable in November 2005 of an account previously deemed uncollectible. Without this credit, the operating loss for that three-month period, would have been approximately $3.4 million, compared to $2.5 million for the current three-month period. The primary reason for this decline in operating loss was due to a reduction in operating expenses of approximately $1.2 million when compared to operating expenses for the prior three-month period excluding the $900,000 credit to bad debt expense. This operating expense reduction was partially offset by a $334,000 reduction in gross profit. The primary reason for the negative gross profit was due to low margins in IT services and product sales, a lower than expected volume of product sales and the absorption of product warranty costs during the quarter.
The company’s net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended November 30, 2006, was $3,461,000, which includes $695,000 in interest expense, $392,000 of which was a non-cash charge, and other non-cash charges of $144,000 of losses on the retirement of debt with stock, $225,000 of depreciation and amortization expense and $159,000 of derivative expense. The net loss from continuing operations for the prior three-month period was $2,470,000. During this prior period, the company did not incur any losses on debt retirement or derivative expense, and only $2,000 in interest expense.
Sales Information
Set forth below is a table presenting summarized sales information for our business segments for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005:
($ in thousands) | | Three months ended November 30, | | | | | | | |
| | 2006 | | % of Total | | | 2005 | | % of Total | | | $ Change | | | % Change | |
Structured wiring | | $ | 432 | | | 45 | % | | $ | 422 | | | 32 | % | | $ | 10 | | | | 2 | % |
Broadband services | | | 137 | | | 14 | % | | | 250 | | | 19 | % | | | (113 | ) | | | (45 | %) |
Products | | | 399 | | | 41 | % | | | 622 | | | 47 | % | | | (223 | ) | | | (36 | %) |
Other | | | — | | | — | | | | 38 | | | 2 | % | | | (38 | ) | | | (100 | %) |
Total | | $ | 968 | | | 100 | % | | $ | 1,332 | | | 100 | % | | $ | (364 | ) | | | (27 | %) |
For the three months ended November 30, 2006, net sales decreased to $968,000 from $1.3 million in the three-month period ended November 30, 2005. This 27% decrease was attributable to a decrease in product sales and broadband services. The decrease in product sales reflects sales in the prior quarter of $436,000 to a major customer and no similar sales to this customer in the current quarter. The decrease of $113,000 in broadband services is primarily attributable to management’s decision to contract with a third party to operate a majority of the company’s bundled services business. The company expects sales from its IPTVComplete service to begin in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Cost of Goods Sold
The following table sets forth summarized cost of goods sold information for the three ended November 30, 2006 and 2005:
($ in thousands) | Three Months Ended November 30, | | | | | |
| 2006 | | 2005 | | $ Change | | % Change |
Direct labor and related costs | $ | 173 | | $ | 293 | | $ | (120) | | (41%) |
Products and integration services | | 438 | | | 255 | | | 183 | | 72% |
Structured wiring labor and material | | 407 | | | 289 | | | 118 | | 41% |
Broadband services costs | | 22 | | | 62 | | | (40) | | (65%) |
Depreciation and amortization | | 58 | | | 229 | | | (171) | | (75%) |
Total cost of goods sold | $ | 1,098 | | $ | 1,128 | | $ | (30) | | (3%) |
For the three months ended November 30, 2006, cost of goods sold was relatively unchanged from the prior three-month period. Direct labor and related costs and broadband services and costs decreased by an aggregate of $160,000 due to workforce reductions and reductions in other costs primarily related to management’s decision to contract with a third party to operate a majority of the company’s bundled services business. These reductions were offset by increases of $183,000 in products and integration services and $118,000 in structured wiring labor and materials. These increases were due to product warranty costs incurred during the quarter, higher than expected costs in structured wiring, and an increase in product costs. Depreciation expenses decreased by $171,000 due to the impairment of long-lived assets in the year ended August 31, 2006.

For the three months ended November 30, 2006, operating expenses decreased by 13% to $2,344,000, as compared to $2,680,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2005. Excluding the previously mentioned credit to bad debt expense related to the collection of receivables in November 2005 that were previously deemed uncollectible, operating expenses decreased about 35%, declining from approximately $3.6 million to approximately $2.3 million. The primary reasons for this reduction are discussed below:
| · | Salaries and related costs declined $387,000 due to a significant reduction in the company’s workforce. |
| · | A $177,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for long-lived assets and intangibles. These assets had impairment charges recorded for the year ended August 31, 2006, thus decreasing the depreciable basis and related depreciation expense for the quarter ended November 30, 2006. |
| · | Delivery and postage expenses were significantly lower as the prior quarter reflects higher than normal delivery costs associated with warranty work. |
| · | A $147,000 decrease in professional and contract labor due to a reduction in legal, accounting and consultant fees. |
| · | A $164,000 reduction in taxes due to a decrease in property tax valuations relating to the impairment of long-lived assets. |
| · | Telephone and utilities declined $63,000 related to workforce reductions and a corresponding reduction in office space requirements. |
The $14,000 credit amount in research and development expense is related to the reversal of an accrual of approximately $78,000 from the prior quarter. Research and development expense for the current quarter was approximately $64,000.
Changes in Cash Flow
Eagle’s operating activities used net cash of $2,430,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2006, compared to $2,855,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2005. The decrease in net cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in the company’s operating expenses. Eagle’s investing activities provided net cash of $292,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2006, compared to cash provided of $777,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2005. The decrease was due to capital expenditures of $532,000 primarily for the completion of the super-headend in Miami, Florida, which was offset by the sale of equipment leases for $899,000. Eagle’s financing activities provided net cash of $116,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2006, compared to $91,000, of cash provided in the three months ended November 30, 2005. During the first quarter, the company raised approximately $1.9 million under its equity credit line, which was offset by paying down approximately $1.8 million of notes payable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In February 2006, the company entered into a series of agreements with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. (“Dutchess”), pursuant to which Dutchess provides a $5,000,000 equity line of credit for the company. Under this agreement, the company makes drawdown requests on the equity line, and Dutchess purchases a number of shares at a price equal 93% of the market price of our stock to fund the drawdown requests. The company has been using the equity line to provide funding for working capital requirements. As of January 9, 2007, the company has drawn down approximately $3.8 million and issued approximately 5.6 million shares to Dutchess pursuant to the equity line.
In March 2006, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register 351,429 shares for resale by Dutchess pursuant to the equity line. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 27, 2006. In May and August 2006, we filed registration statements to register an additional 2,000,000 and 2,500,000 shares, respectively, for resale by Dutchess. These registration statements were declared effective by the SEC on May 25 and August 16, 2006, respectively. In November 2006, we filed a registration statement to register an additional 2,800,000 shares for resale by Dutchess; however, the SEC only allowed the company to register an additional 925,000 shares, and that registration statement, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on December 15, 2006. In addition to this limitation, the SEC required the company to represent that it would not seek to register additional shares for resale by Dutchess for at least six months.
To provide additional capital during this six-month period, the company recently entered into an agreement with Brittany Capital Management Limited (“Brittany”) for a $5,000,000 equity line of credit. Under this agreement, the company may request drawdowns by delivering a “put notice” to Brittany stating the dollar amount of shares we intend to sell to Brittany. The purchase price Brittany is required to pay for the shares is equal to 93% of the “market price.” The “market price” is equal to the lowest closing best bid price during the pricing period. The pricing period is the five-trading-day period beginning on the day Brittany receives a drawdown request. The amount we may request in a given drawdown is the lesser of (i) 200% of the average daily U.S. market trading volume of our common stock for the three trading days prior to the request multiplied by the average of the three daily closing best bid prices immediately preceding our request, or (ii) $500,000 The company has agreed to file a registration statement to register shares for resale by Brittany that it may purchase from us under this new equity line of credit. In addition to this new equity line, the company is considering options for short-term debt financing.
Historically, we have relied upon third-party funding. Though we have been successful at raising additional capital on this basis in the past, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any future 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 to be settled in cash as of November 30, 2006:
(Thousands of dollars) Contractual Obligations | | Total | | Less than 1 year | | 1-3 years | | 3-5 years | | More than 5 years |
Debt Obligations (Current & Long Term) | | $ | 6,722 | | $ | 2,841 | | $ | 3,881 | | $ | — | | $ | — |
Operating Lease Obligations | | | 801 | | | 231 | | | 570 | | | — | | | — |
Total | | $ | 7,523 | | $ | 3,072 | | $ | 4,451 | | $ | — | | $ | — |
The company’s contractual obligations consist of long-term debt and interest as set forth in Note 4 to the company’s financial statements, Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt, and certain obligations for office space operating leases requiring future minimal commitments under non-cancelable leases set forth in Note 7-Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. Contractual obligations does not include approximately $600,000 of debt obligations that the company intends to settle in stock. (See Note 13-Subsequent Events.)
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of November 30, 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
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contain information that is pertinent to this management’s discussion and analysis. 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. Management believes it has exercised proper judgment in determining these estimates based on the facts and circumstances available to its management at the time the estimates were made. 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.
Revenue Recognition
The company’s revenue recognition policy is objective in that it recognizes revenue when products are shipped or services are delivered. Accordingly, there are no estimates or assumptions that have caused deviation from its revenue recognition policy. Additionally, the company has a limited amount of sales returns which would affect its revenue earned.
Eagle accounts for arrangements that contain multiple elements in accordance with EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. 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.
Allowance Method Used to Record Bad Debts
The company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. The company reviews its accounts receivable balances by customer for accounts greater than 90 days old and makes a determination regarding the collectibility of the accounts based on specific circumstances and the payment history that exists with such customers. The company also takes into account its prior experience, the customer’s ability to pay and an assessment of the current economic conditions in determining the net realizable value of its receivables. The company also reviews its allowances for doubtful accounts in aggregate for adequacy following this assessment. Accordingly, the company believes that its allowances for doubtful accounts fairly represent the underlying collectibility risks associated with its accounts receivable.
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.
Impairment Assessment
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill and intangible assets be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability.
The company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, an impairment test of the carrying value of intangible assets. Eagle has intangible assets related to goodwill, contracts, customers and subscribers. For the year ended August 31, 2006, the company determined there had been continued erosion 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.
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, 2006, management determined an impairment charge of $3,427,830 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.
Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 142, as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment charge of $23,913,000 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.
Management assessed the fair value of intangibles and concluded that no impairment exists for the quarter ended November 30, 2006.
Eagle assessed the fair value of goodwill as of August 31, 2006 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, 2005 and concluded that the goodwill and other intangible assets valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying and other intangible assets 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.
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 for the years ending August 31, 2006 and 2005, has been below the book value of these assets which indicated the need to test for recoverability. The company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, tests to determine if an impairment loss existed. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets.
These tests took into consideration a number of factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) the company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business.
Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 144 as of August 31, 2006, management determined an impairment of $10,341,262 existed for certain Houston-area communities where broadband infrastructure had been installed.
Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 144 as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment of $3,230,000 existed for certain Houston-area communities where broadband infrastructure had been installed.
Management assessed the fair value of long-lived assets and concluded that no impairment exists for the quarter ended November 30, 2006.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 (also known as SFAS 123R) that amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS 123R’s effective date would be applicable for awards that are granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition methods: one that provides for prospective application and two that provide for retrospective application. The company adopted SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R will cause the company to record as expense each quarter a non-cash accounting charge approximating the fair value of such share-based compensation meeting the criteria outlined in the provisions of SFAS 123R.
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 and 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.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”), the results of operations of the disposed assets and the losses related to the sale of the component of residential security monitoring have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
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, 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 November 30, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
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 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 August 2006, the court granted one of the defendant’s motions for attorneys fees and ordered Eagle to pay such defendant’s legal fees of approximately $66,000. Eagle is currently appealing this order, as well as the order granting such defendant’s motion to strike the complaint.
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. In December 2006, the company reached a settlement with all of the defendants.
We have a history of operating losses and may never achieve profitability.
From inception through November 30, 2006, we have incurred an accumulated deficit in the amount of $244,510,000. For the quarter ended November 30, 2006, we incurred losses from operations in the amount of $2,474,000. We anticipate that we will incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. Our future revenues may never exceed operating expenses, thereby making the continued viability of our company dependent upon raising additional capital.
As we have not generated positive cash flow from operations, our ability to continue operations is dependent on our ability to either begin to generate positive cash flow from operations or our ability to raise capital from outside sources.
We have not generated positive cash flow from operations and have relied on external sources of capital to fund operations. At November 30, 2006, we had approximately $1,117,000 in cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale, and a working capital deficit of approximately $12,506,000. Our net cash used by operations for the year ended November 30, 2006, was approximately $2,430,000.
