These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events or our financial performance, and involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those identified below, which may cause our or our industry’s actual or future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements or from historical results. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations and statements preceded by, followed by, or that include the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We have no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this report or to conform them to actual results, new information, future events or otherwise.
The following factors, among others, could cause our or our industry’s future results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated: (1) the availability of additional funds to enable us to successfully pursue our business plan; (2) the uncertainties related to the effectiveness of our technologies and the development of our products and services; (3) our ability to maintain, attract and integrate management personnel; (4) our ability to complete the development of our proposed services in a timely manner; (5) our ability to effectively market and sell our services to current and new customers; (6) our ability to negotiate and maintain suitable strategic licenses and corporate relationships; (7) the intensity of competition; and (8) general economic conditions. As a result of these and other factors, we may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Description of Business and History
Description of Business. Impart Media Group, Inc. (the “Company”), headquartered in Seattle, Washington U.S.A., provides digital signage and information networks in the business-to-consumer media sector. The Company’s digital signage and interactive kiosk solutions consist of flat panel monitors, media players/servers, audio-video accessory components, enclosures/mounts/fixtures, web services, and software. The Company also provides consulting, design, integration, fabrication, assembly, IP connectivity, quality assurance, creative production, installation, onsite maintenance, web-data hosting, network monitoring and content management services throughout the United States (and in global markets through its authorized distributors). As a result of the Company’s acquisition of E&M Advertising, Inc. and its affiliates (E&M) in February 2006, the Company also provides offline and online direct response advertising capabilities.
Note 2. Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as shown in the financial statements, the Company has sustained substantial losses and has relied primarily on sales of securities and proceeds from borrowings for operating capital, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company anticipates that its existing capital resources, including amounts available under its revolving credit facility, will enable it to continue operations through March 31, 2008, assuming the Company meets its sales projections for such period. If the Company materially fails to meet such sales projections and does not raise additional capital, then the Company may be forced to severely curtail or cease operations. Consequently, the Company is actively working with investment banks and institutional investors to obtain additional capital through various financing options; however, the Company does not have any financing agreements. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. If the Company raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company have to curtail operations or be unable to continue in existence.
Note 3. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2007 has been derived from the unaudited financial statements at that date. However, it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2007.
In February 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of E&M. E&M’s results of operations and cash flows are included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows from this date.
Certain prior period balances in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation by combining Professional and consulting, Rent expense, and Other general and administrative expenses and reporting these expenses together as General and administrative expenses. Certain prior period balances in the Net cash used by operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were also reclassified. Total balance in Net cash used by operating activities remains unchanged.
Note 4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2007. Updated disclosures regarding such policies are set forth below.
Loss per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share, which would include the effect of the conversion of unexercised stock options, unexercised warrants to purchase common stock, and convertible Preferred Stock, is not separately computed because inclusion of such conversions is antidilutive. In these cases, basic and diluted loss per share is the same.
Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, and the potentially dilutive securities excluded from loss per share computations because they are antidilutive, are as follows for the periods ended March 31,
| | 2007 | | 2006 | |
Basic and diluted weighted average common stock shares outstanding | | | 22,630,263 | | | 18,426,475 | |
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from loss per share computations: | | | | | | | |
Convertible Preferred Stock | | | 4,500,005 | | | 2,903,229 | |
Common stock options | | | 3,892,500 | | | 1,295,000 | |
Common stock purchase warrants | | | 4,913,113 | | | 5,235,694 | |
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangements, the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to the customer, title and risk of loss for products has passed to the customer, the sale price is fixed and determinable, no significant unfulfilled Company obligations exist, and collectibility is reasonable assured.
Revenue from equipment sales is generally recognized when products are shipped and/or the revenue is fully earned and ownership had passed to the customer. Revenue from management subscriptions is recorded in the month the service is provided. Revenue from consulting and design services, which are all short-term, is recognized using the completed-contract method. There were no significant contracts in process at March 31, 2007.
Revenues from media services consist of sales of brokered advertising and certain other consulting, content creation, and Internet-based advertising fees. Because the Company typically acts as an agent on behalf of its advertising clients, brokered advertising revenues are recorded based on the net commissions earned. Media services revenues from consulting, content creation, and Internet-based advertising fees are recorded at their gross billing amounts.
The gross and net billing amounts included in operating revenues for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are follows:
Consolidated gross revenues | | $ | 10,411,221 | | $ | 2,220,775 | |
Direct cost of sales | | | (8,231,988 | ) | | (998,031 | ) |
Consolidated net revenues | | $ | 2,179,233 | | $ | 1,222,744 | |
Note 5. Lines of Credit
On January 27, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) pursuant to which Laurus agreed to provide the Company with a revolving credit facility of up to $6 million (the “Facility”). The term of the Facility is three years and borrowings accrue interest on the unpaid principal and interest at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus three percent (11.25% at March 31, 2007). The maximum principal amount of all borrowings under the Facility cannot exceed ninety percent (90%) of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable minus such reserves that Laurus may in good faith deem necessary and appropriate.
Note 6. Series A Preferred Stock
During March 2006, the Company sold 2,903,229 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $1.55 per share for total gross proceeds of $4.5 million. Further, the purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock received three-year warrants to purchase 2,903,229 shares of common stock at $2.25 per share. The Company registered the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants in a Form SB-2 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2006. On December 13, 2006, issued a stop order for sales pursuant to the registration statement in order to allow the Company to restate certain financial statements. As a result, the Series A Preferred Stock was determined to be subject to mandatory redemption. In addition, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock became entitled to certain liquidated damages.
Effective March 23, 2007, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock granted certain waivers to the Company in consideration for a decrease in the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock from $1.55 to $1.00 and a reduction in the warrant exercise price from $2.25 to $0.01. This waiver also extended the time period the Company has in order to file a post effective amendment to the registration statement.
In return for the consideration described above, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock:
• Waived their right to receive convertible preferred stock as a one-time dividend to holders of the stock in the event of the Company’s failure to achieve aggregate gross revenues of $50,000,000 or more during the four (4) calendar quarters commencing on April 1, 2006, and ending on March 31, 2007;
• Waived any and all breaches and the right to receive liquidated damages and redemption rights related to the Company’s failure to obtain an effective registration statement as mandated by the original registration rights agreement that was executed in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock;
• Agreed to a reduction in the Series A Preferred Stock redemption price from 200% of the liquidation preference amount to 100% of such amount; and
• Waived their right to any dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock up to and including accruals through March 2, 2007, but will be entitled to dividends thereafter.
As a result of the reduction in the conversion price, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock can convert the preferred shares into an additional 1,596,775 shares. The value related to the reduction in the conversion price was determined to be $974,033 and was recorded as of December 31, 2006.
The value of the reduction of the exercise price of the warrants was determined to be $934,856. This incremental value is measured as the difference between (a) the fair value of the modified warrant and (b) the value of the old warrant immediately before the terms were modified, determined based on the remaining expected life of the warrant and was recorded as of December 31, 2006.
The values of the reductions of the Series A Preferred Stock conversion price and the exercise price of the warrants increase additional paid-in capital attributable to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and, at the same time, are considered to be deemed dividends to those holders. Because the Company has an accumulated deficit, these dividends reduce additional paid-in capital rather than increase the accumulated deficit. These amounts also increase net loss attributable to common stockholders.
The Series A Preferred Stock provides that dividends are cumulatively payable at an annual rate of seven percent (7%) of the gross issuance price of the stock ($4.5 million), payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable in either cash or shares of common stock at the Company’s discretion, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of its common stock that would be paid as a dividend. The amount of dividends payable on July 1, 2007 is $104,125.
Note 7. Share-Based Payments
The Company made share-based payments in the form of:
| • | Incentive stock options (“options”) under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), to employees, directors, and others; |

During the first quarter 2007, the Company granted 2,182,500 options under the Plan at an exercise price of $0.40 per common share. The total fair value of the options as of the grant date was $814,000 of which $197,299 was expensed as General and Administrative Expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The fair value for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| | 2007 | |
Expected life in years | | | 5.0 | |
Volatility | | | 140 | % |
Interest rate | | | 4.8 | % |
Yield rate | | | 0 | % |
There were no options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Issuances of Common Stock
During the first quarter 2007, the Company issued 127,000 shares of common stock pursuant to two consulting agreements. The shares had a fair value of $196,850 and were recorded as prepaid expenses, of which $98,425 was recognized as non-cash general and administrative expenses in the three month period ended March 31, 2007.
Note 8. Common Stock
During March 2007, the Company issued 317,618 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of 322,581 $0.01 warrants held by certain holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
In March 2007, the Company received notice of a possible lawsuit against it by a former employee and consultant to the Company alleging breach of contract and wrongful termination, among other claims. In May, the Company settled with claimant in the amount of $45,000 which has been recorded as General and Administrative Expenses in the three month period ended March 31, 2007.
In February 2006, the Company was assigned an agreement (the “PATH Contract”), dated as of December 2, 2002, between Black Experience, Inc., BX Media Group, Inc. and Port-Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation (“PATH”), as amended, pursuant to which the Company obtained the rights to provide PATH with certain advertising and marketing services in connection with its PATHVision system. Effective February 2007, the Company and PATH mutually agreed to terminate the PATH Contract.
Note 10. Subsequent Events
During April 2007, the Company issued 951,879 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of 967,743 warrants held by certain holders of Series A Preferred Stock. The exercise price of the warrants was $0.01 per share.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION |
Certain statements made in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as statements made from time to time by our representatives, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding planned or expected contracts that we may enter into with regard to our proprietary hardware, including without limitation, our Impart IQ product line; advertising contracts originated by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Impart Media Advertising, Inc.; the potential market size for our products; advantages of our products; variation in actual savings and operating improvements resulting from restructurings; and the sufficiency of our available capital resources to meet our funding needs. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results or achievements to be materially different from any future results or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ending December 31, 2006 under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” and the other factors discussed in connection with any forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if it:
| • | requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and |
| • | changes the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected may have made a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. |
Share-Based Payments - Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock options to employees under the fair value provision of SFAS 123. On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes standards for share-based transactions in which an entity receives employee’s services for (a) equity instruments of the entity, such as stock options, or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the option of accounting for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and requires that companies expense the fair value of stock options and similar awards, as measured on the awards’ grant date. SFAS 123(R) applies to all awards granted after the date of adoption, and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after that date. We have elected to apply SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application, under which compensation cost is recognized only for the portion of awards outstanding for which the requisite service has not been rendered as of the adoption date.
We grant options to purchase our common stock to our employees and directors under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The benefits provided under this plan are share-based payments subject to the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Share-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) through the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $359,004 and $48,064, respectively. At March 31, 2007, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted prior to that date was $1.2 million.
We estimate the value of stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes model”). The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and expected forfeiture rates.
If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of SFAS 123(R) in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under SFAS 123(R) may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate share-based compensation under SFAS 123(R). Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our share-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination or forfeiture of those share-based payments in the future. Employee stock options may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, value may be realized from these instruments which is significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements.
The guidance in SFAS 123(R) and the Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) is relatively new and best practices are not well established. There are significant differences among valuation models, and there is a possibility that we will adopt a different valuation model in the future. Theoretical valuation models are evolving and may result in lower or higher fair value estimates for share-based compensation. The timing, readiness, adoption, general acceptance, reliability and testing of these methods is uncertain. Sophisticated mathematical models may require voluminous historical information, modeling expertise, financial analyses, correlation analyses, integrated software and databases, consulting fees, customization and testing for adequacy of internal controls. The uncertainties and costs of these extensive valuation efforts may outweigh the benefits to investors.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue from design and installation contracts is recognized using the completed-contract method under which the amount of revenue recognized is the lower of the percentage complete applied to expected contractual payments or the total non-refundable cash received to date. Changes in the projected hours or cost to complete the project could significantly change the amount of revenue recognized. There were no significant contracts in process during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
In addition, after consultation with our auditors, we account for revenue attributable to contracts acquired in conjunction with our acquisition of E&M on a net basis, as opposed to gross basis. Historically, over a twenty year period, E&M’s management had recorded revenue on a gross basis, but to insure compliance with GAAP and upon other accounting considerations, we have elected to utilize the net revenue recognition calculations. This method of net revenue recognition will have no effect on net income or loss. Although we recorded revenues on a net basis, we do record accounts receivable invoices and vendor payables at gross because these are legitimate receivables and payables in those amounts.
The gross and net billing amounts included in operating revenues for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are follows:
| | 2007 | | 2006 | |
Consolidated gross revenues | | $ | 10,411,221 | | $ | 2,220,775 | |
Direct cost of sales | | | (8,231,988 | ) | | (998,031 | ) |
Consolidated net revenues | | $ | 2,179,233 | | $ | 1,222,744 | |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have limited capital resources. At March 31, 2007, total unrestricted cash was approximately $400,000. In the three months ended March 31, 2007, we funded operations with the proceeds from sales and services, borrowings on our $6 million accounts receivable-based credit facility from Laurus (the “Laurus Facility”). At March 31, 2006, the balance was $2.1 million which was near the capacity for the facility based upon the Company’s balances in accounts receivable at that date.
We anticipate that our existing capital resources, including amounts available under the Laurus Facility, will enable us to continue operations through March 31, 2008, assuming we meet our sales projections for the year. If we materially fail to meet such sales projections and we do not raise additional capital, then we may be forced to severely curtail or cease operations by March 31, 2008. Consequently, we are actively working with investment banks and institutional investors, and strategic investors to obtain additional capital through various financing options; however, we do not have any financing agreements. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders.
As of March 31, 2007, our accumulated deficit was $16.2 million. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.9 million. Additionally, we anticipate that we will incur significant losses from operations through the end of 2007. However, many of the expense items that generated these losses are non-cash charges such as non-cash interest, depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, if we meet our sales forecast for 2007, we anticipate that we will generate positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) during the last three months of 2007.
Our limited capital resources and recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital. The audit report prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm relating to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Revenue. Revenue increased by $956,000, or 78%, from $1,223,000 to $2,179,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Of that the first quarter revenue, approximately $825,000 came from the media services revenue generated by our E&M division whose assets we acquired in February 2006. In addition we had an increase in equipment sales of $250,000 offset by a $119,000 decrease in managed subscription services and consulting design services related to legacy products that we discontinued.
We derive our revenues from (i) equipment sales (e.g. sales of digital signage displays, Impart IQ media players and servers, audio-video-data accessories, touch screens and enclosures), (ii) managed subscription revenues (e.g. monthly recurring fees for contracted digital signage serviced network sites, content management, status monitoring, Impart IQ Streams infotainment web service, and web/server data hosting), (iii) consulting and design services (e.g. fees for creative production, project consulting, installation, and onsite servicing) and (iv) media services (e.g. media sales and direct response).
Equipment Sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, equipment sales increased by 48% as compared to equipment sales during the three months ended March 31, 2006. We attribute this increase primarily to the product release and sales of the IQ miniZ product line. We expect overall equipment sales to increase each succeeding quarter in 2007 and to represent a larger percentage of our total revenues due to anticipated growth of the digital signage industry, generally, and customer awareness of digital signage capabilities and advantages.
Managed Subscription. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, managed subscription fees decreased by 36% as compared to managed subscription fees during the three months ended March 31, 2006. We attribute this decrease primarily to the natural, end-of-life attrition of legacy eyeFRAMES platform dial-up networks at the end of 2006. We anticipate that the overall subscription revenue category will remain flat this year.
Consulting and Design Services. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, consulting and design services fees decreased by 60% as compared to consulting and design services fees during the three months ended March 31, 2006. We attribute this decrease primarily to low activity of billable consulting and an increase of client-managed, digital signage network deployments utilizing the IQ platform. Client-managed IQ deployments typically can enable client in-house creative production, instead of outsourcing their creative production needs to Impart. Consequently, creative production design services revenues were adversely impacted, when compared to a year ago. We do anticipate an increase of consultation revenues, later this year, as High IQ enterprise consultation services sales strategies are implemented.
Media Services. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, revenues from media and direct response services increased by 188% as compared to media services revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2006. We attribute this increase primarily to the fact that we commenced our media services division in February 2006 and, thus, revenues for the period ended March 31, 2006 did not include revenues for the fully quarterly period. We believe the revenue generation potential in the direct response business unit category is extremely market healthy and tracking with revenue consistency for future reporting quarters in 2007. Media and direct response services represented 58% of total revenues this quarter. We anticipate that revenues from media and direct response services will represent a smaller percentage of our overall revenues for the remaining three quarters of 2007 as a result of increased equipment sales of our new Concierge, IQ mini, and IQ interactive systems.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues from our Impart Media Group division increased by $279,000 from 2006 mainly due to the increase in equipment sales and due to the increased cost of sales for media services not considered to be brokered media sales. Cost of revenues primarily consists of amounts we pay for hardware (i.e., video displays, media players and servers) that we integrate and install for our customers. Our direct response advertising division’s cost of revenues were relatively low as a percentage of sales due to the manner in which we recognize revenue where most sales are recorded at the net amount billed, rather than gross, on revenues earned from a fee or commission.
Other Operating Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased minimally from the same period in 2006 to $1.4 million. Within general and administrative expenses, professional and consulting expenses declined by $346,000 mainly due to reduced legal and consulting expenses in conjunction with certain acquisition and financing activities in 2006. Also, expenses for legal settlement fees decreased by $223,000 since there were no similar legal settlements in 2007. These decreases were offset by an increase to investor relations expenses of $172,000 and an increase in share based compensation expenses of $311,000.
Wages and salaries decreased minimally in 2007 to $1.3 million with 2006 additional executive compensation being offset mostly by the additional 2007 wages resulting from the Company’s acquisition of its media advertising division.
Depreciation and amortization expenses in 2007 decreased by $32,000 to $191,000 from the same period in 2006 primarily due to reduction of depreciation expense for assets that have reached the end of their useful lives.
Other Expenses. Interest expense decreased $204,000 from $446,000 in 2006 to $242,000 in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to 2006 interest expense of $216,000 that resulted from the issuance of common stock warrants in lieu of the payment of accrued interest on loans payable. Our Other Income (expenses) decreased from $120,000 to $0 for 2007 primarily as a result of a one-time gain on retirement of debt in 2006.
Our net loss for 2007 compared to 2006 declined from $2,729,000 to $1,942,000 for a net decrease of $786,000, or an approximately 29%.

At March 31, 2007, we had current assets of $9.0 million consisting of restricted and unrestricted cash in the amount of $612,000, accounts receivable in the amount of $7.6 million, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $283,000, and inventory in the amount of $509,000. Long-term assets of $8.1 million consisted primarily of goodwill and intangible assets of $4.9 million, deferred financing costs of $1.6 million and fixed assets of $1.3 million, including computer servers, media players and video display equipment used in operations.
Current liabilities of $13.5 million at March 31, 2007 consisted primarily of $10.5 million of accounts payable, $560,000 of accrued and other liabilities, $2.1 million due under the Laurus Facility, and $200,000 of amounts payable to former E&M owners.
Our working capital deficit was approximately $4.6 million as of March 31, 2007.
Financing Activities
On January 27, 2006, we entered into a Security Agreement with Laurus, pursuant to which Laurus agreed to provide us with a revolving credit facility of up to $6 million. The term of the Laurus Facility is three years and borrowings under the Laurus Facility accrue interest on the unpaid principal and interest at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus three percent (3%). Interest on borrowings under the Laurus Facility is payable monthly on the first day of each month during the term of the facility. All outstanding principal amounts must be paid on January 27, 2009. The maximum principal amount of all borrowings under the Laurus Facility cannot exceed ninety percent of our eligible accounts receivable minus such reserves that Laurus may in good faith deem necessary and appropriate. Outstanding amounts payable under the Laurus Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement. In addition, we pledged the ownership interests in our subsidiaries pursuant to a stock pledge agreement executed in favor of Laurus securing our obligations under the Laurus Facility.
The Security Agreement and related documents provide that an event of default shall be deemed to have occurred if we default on the payment of any obligation or indebtedness when due, we suffer a bankruptcy or similar insolvency event or proceeding, we materially breach a representation or warranty or fail to observe any covenant or agreement, we suffer and do not discharge in a timely manner a final judgment for the payment of a sum in excess of a certain materiality threshold, our common stock has been delisted or trading has been suspended, we sell a substantial portion of our assets, we merge with another entity or we fail to timely deliver shares of our Common Stock to Laurus when due upon exercise of the warrants issued to Laurus in connection with the financing transaction. If an event of default occurs, Laurus has the right to accelerate payments under the Laurus Facility and, in addition to any other remedies available to it, foreclose upon the assets securing any outstanding amounts due to Laurus. If an event of default occurs, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the unpaid principal balance, plus accrued interest and fees, will become immediately due and payable. Laurus shall also be entitled to payment of a default interest rate of two percent (2%) per month on all amounts due and such other remedies specified in the relevant transaction documents and under the Uniform Commercial Code.
During March 2006, we sold 2.9 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $1.55 per share for total gross proceeds of $4.5 million. In addition, the purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2.9 million shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $2.25 per share and a three-year term. We paid $562,000 in issuance costs, for net proceeds of $3.9 million. As described above under “Recent Developments”, in March 2007, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of such warrants $.01 per share in consideration of certain waivers granted by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
Also, as a result of the amendments described above under “Recent Developments”, each Series A Preferred Stock share is convertible into 1.55 shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments). Each Series A Preferred Stock share is convertible by the holder at any time. The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 (subject to certain adjustments) on the third anniversary of the issuance date or upon the date of a consummation of a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of our securities of at least $20 million in which the price per share is at least $4.00 (subject to certain restrictions).
The Series A Preferred Stock provides that dividends will accrue at an annual rate of seven percent (7%) of the gross issuance price of the stock ($4.5 million), payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. As described above under “Recent Developments”, the Series A Preferred Stock holders waived their right to any dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock up to and including accruals through March 2, 2007 but will be entitled to dividends thereafter.
On August 1, 2006, we filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 covering the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock. The registration statement was declared effective as of September 1, 2006. On December 13, 2006, we notified our Series A Preferred Stock shareholders that, due to the restatement of our financial statements included in our Form 10-QSB for June 30, 2006. referenced in the registration, the registration statement was unavailable for the sale of their shares. In connection with the waivers described above under “Recent Developments”, we have additional time to amend and refile the registration statement and have it declared effective.
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Series A Shares, are generally entitled to receive a liquidation preference over the holders of common stock equal to $1.55 per share of Series A Share held and any declared but unpaid dividends.
ITEM 3. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our company’s management, with the participation of our chief executive officer/chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2007, the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer/chief financial officer has concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) during the first quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Claims and lawsuits have been filed against us and our subsidiaries from time to time. Although the results of pending claims are always uncertain, we do not believe the results of any such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operation. Additionally, we believe that we have insurance coverage in respect of these claims, but no assurance can be given as to the sufficiency of such insurance in the event of any unfavorable outcome resulting from these actions.
