Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Xplore Technologies Corp. (the “Company”), incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, is engaged in the business of the development, integration and marketing of rugged mobile wireless PC computing systems. The Company’s products enable the extension of traditional computing systems to a range of field and on-site personnel, regardless of location or environment. Using a range of wireless communication mediums together with the Company’s rugged computing products, the Company’s end-users are able to receive, collect, analyze, manipulate and transmit information in a variety of environments not suited to traditional non-rugged computing devices. The Company’s end-users are in the following markets: utility, warehousing/logistics, public safety, field service, transportation, manufacturing, route delivery, military and homeland security.
On June 20, 2007, the Company effected a domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law pursuant to which the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation became the State of Delaware. Prior to June 20, 2007, the Company was incorporated under the federal laws of Canada.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, included in the Company’s fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2009.
a) Basis of consolidation and presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xplore Technologies Corporation of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated significant losses as it has been developing its current and next generation rugged computer products. The Company has had recurring losses and expects to report operating losses for fiscal 2010. The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with borrowings from its senior lender (including refinancings) and financial support from an affiliate of Phoenix Venture Fund LLC (together with affiliates “Phoenix”) will be sufficient to fund the anticipated operations for fiscal 2010. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Estimates are deemed critical when a different estimate could have reasonably been used or where changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, and would materially impact the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the estimates, including those related to its revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, warranty reserves, tooling amortization, financial instruments, stock-based compensation and income taxes. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

b) Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) No. 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. ASC 805 will significantly change current practices regarding business combinations. Among the more significant changes, ASC 805 expands the definition of a business and a business combination; requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests (including goodwill), measured at fair value at the acquisition date; requires acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs to be recognized separately from the business combination; and requires in-process research and development to be capitalized at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. ASC 805 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 805 on July 1, 2009, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC No. 350-30, previously referred to as SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. ASC No. 350-30 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. ASC No. 350-30 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC No. 350-30, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements
On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued ASC No. 810, Consolidation, previously referred to as SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which significantly changes the consolidation model for variable interest entities. ASC No. 810 requires companies to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC No. 810 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC No. 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (“ASC 105” or “FASB Codification”), previously referred to as SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No 162 (“SFAS 168”). The effective date for use of the FASB Codification is for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Codification and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 10, 2009.

Total inventory | | $ | 3,785 | | $ | 3,351 | |

4. LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the period, and is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The effects of the options granted under the Company’s option plans, the exercise of outstanding options, the exercise of outstanding warrants and the convertible Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock were excluded from the loss per share calculations for the periods presented as their inclusion is anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share has not been presented.

5. SHORT-TERM BANK INDEBTEDNESS
On September 15, 2005, the Company entered into a two-year loan and security agreement with a commercial bank. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company could finance certain eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum of $5,000. Borrowings under the facility bore interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 2.25%. The Company was obligated to repay each loan advance on the earliest of the date the financed receivable payment was received or the date the financed receivable became ineligible or 90 days past due. The Company is committed to pay a fee equal to 0.25% of the unused portion of the credit facility.
On February 28, 2007, the Company modified its credit facility. Under the terms of the amended facility, the borrowings formula was increased to the lesser of $8,000 or 80% of the Company’s U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable outstanding for 90 days or less, plus 80% of the Company’s foreign accounts receivable (up to $2,500) plus 25% of eligible inventory (up to $1,750). The interest rate on the borrowings remained at the bank’s prime rate plus 2.25% (or prime plus 2.5% in the case of borrowings related to its inventory).
On April 24, 2009, the Company amended the loan and security agreement with the commercial bank to extend the maturity date of borrowings under the agreement to May 29, 2009 and reduced the maximum amount of borrowings permitted under the loan and security agreement to $5,000. On May 29, 2009, the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2009 and the lender agreed to provide up to $1 million of additional availability in excess of the borrowing base, based on a supporting irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by Philip Sassower, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Susan Sassower, his wife (“Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants”). In addition, the interest rate was increased from the bank’s “prime rate” plus 2.25% to the greater of 6.25% or 2.25% above the bank’s “prime rate” and the minimum tangible net worth covenant was amended to require the Company to have a minimum tangible net worth of at least $1,575 increasing quarterly by fifty percent (50%) of net income and fifty percent (50%) of issuances of equity or subordinated debt after May 29, 2009. The standby letter of credit expires on March 5, 2010.
In order to induce the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants to issue the letter of credit, the Company entered into the Credit Reimbursement, Compensation and Security Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2009 (the “Letter of Credit Agreement”), with the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants whereby it agreed to (i) reimburse the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants for all costs and expenses incurred by the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants in connection with the issuance of the letter of credit, (ii) reimburse the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants for all payments made by the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants to the issuing bank in connection with any drawings made by the bank under the letter of credit; (iii) provide certain compensation to the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants in connection with the issuance of the letter of credit, including the issuance to the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants of a three-year warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share; and (iv) grant to the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants a security interest in all of its assets to secure their obligations to the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants. The security interest granted by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary to the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants is subordinated to the rights and security interest of the bank in connection with the loan and security agreement and senior to the rights and security interests of the holders of the Company’s secured promissory notes. Upon an event of default, the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants may exercise all remedies permitted by the letter of credit agreement or at law or in equity, subject to a subordination agreement with the bank. In consideration for the promissory noteholders subordinating their security interests in collateral of the Company in favor of Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants, the Company issued to the promissory note holders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,090,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The warrants to the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants and the promissory noteholders will expire in May 2012. See Note 12.
The warrants issued to the Supporting Letter of Credit Applicants and the promissory noteholders have been valued separately using the Black Scholes methodology. The fair value calculations assumed a discount rate of approximately 1.40%, volatility of approximately 125% , no dividends and that all of the shares will vest. The fair value of the warrants of $661 was recorded as a deferred charge and as additional paid-in capital. The discounts are amortized over the term of the letter of credit. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, $198 and $264 was recognized respectively as interest expense.

Table of Contents
On June 29, 2009, the Company amended the loan and security agreement with the commercial bank to extend the maturity date to July 14, 2009. On July 13, 2009, the maturity date was further amended to August 14, 2009 and the credit limit was reduced to $4,000. On August 13, 2009, the maturity date of borrowings under the existing agreement was extended to September 15, 2009.
On September 15, 2009, the Company entered into a new agreement with the commercial bank to replace the existing loan and security agreement. Under the terms of the new agreement, the Company can finance certain eligible U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable up to a maximum $4,000. Borrowings bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 3.42% per annum. The interest rate may increase by approximately 0.72% if the Company’s monthly quick ratio (i.e., cash plus eligible accounts to current liabilities less $1.0 million) is less than a half percent. The Company is obligated to repay each loan advance on the earliest of the date on which the financed receivable payment is received or the date to which the financed receivable becomes ineligible or 90 days past due. The maturity date of the new agreement maturity is February 5, 2010. The new agreement is subject to a minimum monthly interest fee of $4.
Borrowings are secured by all assets and intellectual property of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of various subordination agreements between the commercial bank, the commercial bank has a first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2009, there was $2,069 in borrowings outstanding under the new credit facility.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
In 1995, the Board of Directors approved a Share Option Plan, which was amended and restated in December 2004, and amended thereafter (which are referred to as the “Amended Share Option Plan”). The Amended Share Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and provides that options may be granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants to the Company. The exercise price of an option is determined at the date of grant and is based on the closing price of the common stock on the stock exchange or quotation system where the common stock is listed or traded, on the day preceding the grant. Unless otherwise provided for, the options are exercisable only during the term of engagement of the employee, officer or consultant or during the period of service as a director of the Company.
On July 28, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, which is referred to as the 2009 Stock Plan. The 2009 Stock Plan provides for equity-based awards in the form of incentive stock options and non-statutory options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units. Awards are made to selected employees, directors and consultants to promote stock ownership among award recipients, to encourage their focus on strategic long-range corporate objectives, and to attract and retain exceptionally qualified personnel. The 2009 Stock Plan became effective retroactive to June 10, 2009, subject to shareholder approval.
The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of all options granted under the Amended Share Option Plan and 2009 Stock Plan is not to exceed 30,900,000. The options under the plan generally vest over a 3-year period in equal annual amounts.

Prior to June 20, 2007, the Company was incorporated under the laws in Canada and the exercise prices for stock grant awards were in Canadian dollars; thus the exercise prices for 6,945,003 options outstanding are in Canadian dollars. The range of stock grant awards is subject to changes in the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and United States dollar.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, a grant in the amount of 100,000 shares of common stock was issued to a non-executive employee of the Company at exercise prices of $0.10 per share. The fair value of this grant to be recognized as future stock compensation expense is $26.
On July 28, 2009, the Company’s board of directors granted an aggregate of 2,011,000 restricted share awards to certain employees, including all of the Company’s executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, in lieu of a portion of their cash compensation for fiscal year 2010. The salaries of the employees were reduced by a total of $267 effective April 1, 2009. The shares of common stock will fully vest on March 31, 2010. The market value of the common stock was $0.10 and the intrinsic value of the restricted shares of approximately $201 will be recognized as compensation expense in fiscal 2010.
The options have been valued separately using the Black-Scholes methodology and the calculations for issuances in fiscal 2010 and 2009 assumed discount rates of approximately 2.6% and 3.3%, respectively, and volatility of approximately 121% and 106%, respectively, and no dividends for both years. The Company recorded compensation cost of $254 and $267 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $561 and $614 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This expense was recorded in the employee related functional classification.
Compensation expense has been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for options granted in the current fiscal year. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable at September 30, 2009 was zero as the fair value of the Company’s common stock is less than the exercise prices of the options. The future compensation expense to be recognized for unvested option grants at September 30, 2009 was $931 to be recognized over the next three years.

Overview
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
We engineer, develop, integrate and market rugged, mobile computing systems. Our products and features are designed to enhance the ability of persons to perform their jobs outside of traditional office settings. Our family of iX™ Tablet PC systems are designed to operate in challenging work environments, such as extreme temperatures, repeated vibrations or dirty and dusty conditions. Our systems can be fitted with a wide range of performance-matched accessories, including multiple docking station solutions, wireless connectivity alternatives, global positioning system modules, biometric and smartcard modules, as well as traditional peripherals like keyboards, mouses and cases.
Our revenue is currently derived through the sale of our iX104 Systems in the rugged, mobile Tablet PC market. We believe this market is small relative to other rugged PC markets. We therefore intend to grow our revenue by entering into other rugged PC markets through the development of new rugged, mobile computing systems. We have been developing new products, including the next generation of our iX104 Tablet PC featuring, among other things, a dual core processor and a sunlight readable display, which

became available in September 2008, as well as, the Armadillo System for military markets, which became available in June 2009. In addition, we were developing a rugged, mobile notebook PC which requires further design modifications. While we continued to work on our rugged notebook, its development has been suspended and currently ceased to reduce costs during this period of economic malaise and to devote our resources to our established iX104 family of Tablet PCs.
We are dependent upon the market acceptance of our next generation of the iX104™ Tablet PC system. We believe the markets initial response to our next generation of the iX104 has been favorable. However, current global economic conditions have caused many companies to sharply reduce their technology spending and we are experiencing a slow-down in our business. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, we took cost reduction actions in response to market conditions. We reduced our headcount by approximately 43% during that quarter, and the impact of the headcount reduction began to be realized in the first calendar quarter of 2009. In early April 2009, we further reduced our headcount by approximately 17% and our current number of employees is 38. In addition, we have reduced our development spending and it is generally limited to products we expect to introduce to the market in 2010.
Our response to the current economic conditions was to significantly reduce our cash burn and operating expenses. Our operating expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 declined by approximately 42% and 52%, respectively, when compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2008. The net cash used by our operating activities for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 declined by approximately 53% and 72%, respectively, from the net cash used by operating activities for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008. We believe we have positioned our operating expense structure to enable us to become self funding in the future. Further, we continue to evaluate all other operating costs with a view to further reduce our operating expenses.
Management believes that if we can successfully penetrate the military markets with the Armadillo System we should expect to increase our revenues for fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this quarterly report are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Estimates are deemed critical when a different estimate could have reasonably been used or where changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, and would materially impact our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, warranty reserves, tooling amortization, financial instruments, stock based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Our critical accounting policies are as follows:
Revenue Recognition. Our revenue is derived from the sale of rugged, mobile technology which includes rugged mobile computers and related accessories. Our customers are predominantly resellers. However, we also sell directly to end-users. We follow the principles of Staff Accounting Bulletins 101 and 104, and other related pronouncements. Revenue is recognized, net of an allowance for estimated returns, when title and risks of ownership are transferred to the customer, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied, the sales price is fixed or determinable and the ability to collect is reasonably assured. Our revenue recognition criteria have generally been met when the product has been shipped. Shipments are based on firm purchase orders from our customers with stated terms. The shipping terms are F.O.B. shipping point. We do not have installation, training and other commitments subsequent to shipment that are other than incidental. Our prices are determined based on negotiations with our customers and are not subject to adjustment. Generally, we do not hold inventory at our resellers and we do not expect resellers to hold inventories of our products other than in limited circumstances where such inventory is monitored by us. As a result, we expect returns to be minimal. We have not had material adjustments as our returns have been minimal.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We regularly review and monitor collections of our accounts receivables and make estimated provisions, generally monthly, based on our experience, aging attributes, results of collection efforts and current market conditions. If our estimate for allowance for doubtful accounts is too low, additional charges will be incurred in future periods and
16

these additional charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Our estimates have not required significant adjustment due to actual experience.
Warranty Reserves. Provisions are made at the time of sale for warranties, which are based on our experience and monitored regularly. The revenue related to warranty is recognized when our obligations are covered by a warranty coverage agreement provided by a third party. All warranty obligations related to revenue recognized are covered by warranty coverage agreements provided by Wistron. If our estimates for warranties and returns are too low, additional charges will be incurred in future periods and these additional charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Our estimates have not required significant adjustment due to actual experience.
Inventory Valuation. We adjust our inventory values so that the carrying value does not exceed net realizable value. The valuation of inventory at the lower of average cost or net realizable value requires us to use estimates regarding the amount of current inventory that will be sold and the prices at which it will be sold and our assessment of expected orders from our customers. Additionally, the estimates reflect changes in our products or changes in demand because of various factors, including the market for our products, obsolescence, technology changes and competition. While the estimates are subject to revisions and actual results could differ, our experience is that the estimates used by current management have not been required to be adjusted based on actual results. Accordingly, while any change to the estimates could have a material impact, there have been no material corrections to originally provided amounts.
Tooling Amortization. We amortize tooling costs over a two year period or estimated life, whichever is shorter. Those costs are recorded as a cost of revenue, subject to an assessment that future revenue will be sufficient to fully recover the cost of the tooling. This assessment requires an assessment of the market for our products and our future revenue expectations. On a quarterly basis, this assessment is reviewed and the cost of tooling is written down to its net realizable value if its recoverability is not reasonably expected based on estimates of future revenue for the periods covered by these financial statements. There have been no instances where we determined that useful life was significantly less than two years. Accordingly, we have not recorded material adjustments.
Income Taxes. We have significant valuation allowances that we intend to maintain until it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced to the extent of decreases in our valuation allowances. Changes in the tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. We are not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Financial Instruments. The warrants we issued in connection with secured subordinated promissory notes have been valued separately using the Black-Scholes methodology. The notes originally reflected in our financial statements are at a discounted value and the difference between this discount amount and the face value of the notes, which is repayable at maturity, is amortized as additional non-cash interest expense during the term of the notes. The determination of the value attributed to the warrants and notes required the use of estimates and judgments particularly related to the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes calculation. In addition, options and warrants to acquire common stock issued to employees, directors and consultants have been valued using a Black-Scholes calculation and their valuation is impacted by the assumptions used in this calculation.
Results of Operations
Revenue. We derive revenue from sales of our rugged wireless Tablet PC systems which encompass a family of active pen and touch Tablet PC computers, embedded wireless, desktop, vehicle, fork-lift or truck docking stations and a range of supporting performance matched accessories, peripherals and support services. Our revenue also includes service revenue derived from out-of-warranty repairs.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists of the costs associated with manufacturing, assembling and testing our products, related overhead costs, maintenance, compensation and other costs related to manufacturing support, including depreciation of tooling assets. We use contract manufacturers to manufacture our products and supporting components, which represents a significant part of our cost of revenue. In addition, the costs associated with providing warranty repairs, as well as the costs associated with generating service revenue, are included in cost of revenue.
Gross Profit. Gross profit has been, and will continue to be, affected by a variety of factors, including competition, product mix and average selling prices of products, maintenance, new product introductions and enhancements, the cost of components and manufacturing labor, fluctuations in manufacturing volumes, component shortages, the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold, and warranty costs.

Sales, Marketing and Support. Sales, marketing and support expenses include salaries, commissions, agent fees and costs associated with co-operative marketing programs, as well as other personnel-related costs, travel expenses, advertising programs, trade shows and other promotional activities associated with the marketing and selling of our products. We also believe part of our future success will be dependent upon establishing successful relationships with a variety of resellers.
Product Research, Development and Engineering. Product research, development and engineering expenses consist of salaries and related expenses for development and engineering personnel, and non-recurring engineering costs, including prototype costs, related to the design, development, testing and enhancement of our product families. We expense our research and development costs as they are incurred. There may be components of our research and development efforts that require significant expenditures, the timing of which can cause quarterly fluctuation in our expenses.
General Administration. General administration expenses consist of salaries and related expenses for finance, accounting, procurement and information technology personnel, professional fees, including legal fees for litigation defense as well as litigation settlement payments, corporate expenses, and costs associated with being a U.S. public company, including regulatory compliance costs.
Interest. Interest expense includes interest on promissory note borrowings, interest on borrowings related to our bank credit facility, non-cash interest charges representing the amortization of the value assigned to warrants issued with promissory notes or letters of credit and discounts and amortization of deferred financing costs consisting principally of legal fees and commissions and fees related to the financing transactions.
Other Income and Expense. Other income and expense includes gains and/or losses on dispositions of assets, foreign exchange and other miscellaneous income and expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) No. 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. ASC 805 will significantly change current practices regarding business combinations. Among the more significant changes, ASC 805 expands the definition of a business and a business combination; requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests (including goodwill), measured at fair value at the acquisition date; requires acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs to be recognized separately from the business combination; and requires in-process research and development to be capitalized at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. ASC 805 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted the provisions of ASC 805 on July 1, 2009, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC No. 350-30, previously referred to as SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. ASC No. 350-30 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. ASC No. 350-30 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Effective July 1, 2009, we adopted ASC No. 350-30, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements
On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued ASC No. 810, Consolidation, previously referred to as SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which significantly changes the consolidation model for variable interest entities. ASC No. 810 requires companies to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. We do not expect the adoption of ASC No. 810 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC No. 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (“ASC 105” or “FASB Codification”), previously referred to as SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No 162 (“SFAS 168”). The effective date for use of the FASB Codification is for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Effective July 1, 2009, we adopted the FASB Codification and its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We have evaluated subsequent events through November 10, 2009, the date that these financial statements were issued.

Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2009 vs. Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2008
Revenue. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $5,248,000 as compared to $8,107,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $2,859,000, or approximately 35%. Total revenues for the six months ended September, 2009 were $10,242,000 as compared to $12,558,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $2,316,000, or approximately 18%. The decreases in revenue were attributable to a decrease in unit sales of approximately 56% and 29% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2008. The declines were attributable to the impact of current market conditions. At September 30, 2009, we had approximately $910,000 in deferred revenue for shipments to end-users for which revenue recognition attributes have not been completed. There was $205,000 in deferred revenue at September 30, 2008.
We have a number of customers, and in any given period a single customer can account for a significant portion of our sales. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, we had two customers located in the United States who accounted for approximately 48% and 37%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, three customers accounted for more than 56% of our total revenue and for the six months ended September 30, 2008 two customers accounted for more than 31%, of our total revenue. At September 30, 2009, there was one customer with a receivable balance that was approximately 25% of the outstanding receivables. At September 30, 2008, there were two customers with receivable balances that were greater than 10% of the outstanding receivables.
We operate in one segment, the sale of rugged mobile wireless Tablet PC computing systems. The United States accounted for approximately 83% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and there was no other country which accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009. The United States of America, Canada and Germany accounted for 39%, 38% and 12%, respectively, of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The United States of America and Canada were the only countries to account for more than 10% of our total revenue with 44% and 26%, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2008.
Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $3,919,000 compared to $6,225,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $2,306,000 or approximately 37%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue of approximately 35%. Total cost of revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $7,613,000 compared to $9,251,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $1,638,000 or approximately 18% and consistent with the decline in revenue.
We rely on a single supplier for the majority of our finished goods. The year to date inventory purchases and engineering services from this supplier at September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $2,981,000 and $5,367,000, respectively. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, we owed this supplier $972,000 and $2,146,000, respectively, recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit decreased by $553,000 to $1,329,000 (25.3% of revenue) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $1,882,000 (23.2% of revenue) for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decline in revenue. Our reserve for obsolete components associated with end of life products for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately 2.1% higher than for the three months ended September 30, 2009 which accounts for the majority of the increase in the gross profit percentage. Total gross profit decreased by $678,000 to $2,629,000 (25.7% of revenue) for the six months ended September 30, 2009 from $3,307,000 (26.3% of revenue) for the six months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit was due to reduction in revenue and the decrease in the gross profit as a percent of revenue was principally due to lower pricing of our end of life products
Sales, Marketing and Support Expenses. Sales, marketing and support expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $595,000 compared to $1,318,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The $723,000 reduction, primarily in response to the current market and economic conditions, consisted primarily of declines in headcount related costs due to staff reductions of $377,000, marketing expenses of $244,000, including trade show participation, print and web-based media, and travel and entertainment expenses of $108,000. Sales, marketing and support expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,160,000 compared to $2,465,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The $1,305,000 reduction consists primarily of declines in headcount related costs of $666,000, lower marketing expenses of $482,000, and reduced travel and entertainment expenses of $156,000.

Product Research, Development and Engineering Expenses. Product research, development and engineering expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $867,000, a decrease of $895,000 or approximately 51% of the $1,762,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Product research, development and engineering expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,704,000 compared to $4,751,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $3,047,000. Fewer new major product development activities in the current periods as compared to the prior year periods account for the reductions in product development expenses. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, our product development focus was predominantly on the Armadillo System, a rugged military tablet/docking system which is now completed, with limited efforts on a rugged mobile notebook PC. In the prior year period, major development activities included the Armadillo System, as well as, the next generation of our iX104 rugged tablet, C4, which we introduced to the market in September 2008, and a rugged, mobile notebook PC. The expense reductions primarily consist of declines in headcount related costs of $515,000 and $913,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, attributable to a decrease in engineering staff associated with fewer development projects and reductions in non-recurring engineering costs that were non-headcount related expenses of $328,000 and $1,876,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. A substantial portion of our expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2008, were costs attributable to the development of a rugged, mobile notebook PC, and included a one-time charge of $1,020,000 related to design changes for the notebook and increases in depreciation expense of $27,000 and $306,000 for the three and six month ended September 30, 2008, respectively, principally related to development test chambers and other testing equipment.
General Administration Expenses. General administration expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $963,000 compared to $1,078,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $115,000. The decrease principally consisted of lower headcount related costs of $143,000, a reduction in the upgrades and training related to our information systems of $100,000 and reductions in various corporate related expenses, including travel and office expenses, of $73,000 arising from our cost reduction efforts. The decrease in general administration expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were offset by a net increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $127,000 attributable to favorable collections in the prior year period and an increase in professional fees and costs associated with our public company filings of $77,000 due to the timing of the filing of our annual report. General administration expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,718,000 compared to $2,586,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $868,000. The decrease was primarily attributable to our cost reduction initiatives, including a decline in headcount related costs due to staff reductions of $305,000, a decrease in the upgrades and training related to our information systems of $176,000, reductions in various corporate related expenses, including travel and office expenses, of $179,000 and a reduction in legal fees of $183,000 as the prior year period included costs of litigation defense for matters settled in fiscal 2009.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the recorded employee stock-based compensation expense was $254,000 and $267,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the recorded employee stock-based compensation expense was $561,000 and $614,000, respectively. The declines in expense of $13,000 and $53,000 for the three and six months, respectively, were principally due to the reduction in our headcount associated with the cost reduction initiatives, as well as, lower Black-Scholes valuations of recent stock awards arising from declines in the market value of our common stock. These declines are slightly offset by increases in expense for options granted during the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and the quarterly value of restricted share grants of $50,000 associated with salary reductions effective April 1, 2009. Stock compensation expense was recorded in the employee related functional classification.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $135,000 and $150,000, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $307,000 and $563,000, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2008, included $260,000 related to product testing equipment used for the development of the rugged, mobile notebook PC which was expensed on an accelerated basis.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $677,000 compared to $69,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $608,000. Interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,118,000 compared to $106,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $1,012,000. The issuance of $4,090,000 of secured promissory notes at various dates beginning on September 5, 2008 through July 15, 2009 accounted for the majority of the increases in interest expense for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009. The increases in interest expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 were attributable to non-cash interest expense of $488,000 and $827,000, respectively, of which approximately $354,000 and $568,000, respectively, represented the amortization of the values assigned to warrants issued with the promissory notes and the standby letter of credit and approximately $134,000 and $259,000, respectively, of interest on the promissory notes that was paid with the issuance of 518,343 shares of common stock in July 2009 and 1,828,407 shares of common stock in October 2009. Also contributing to the interest expense increases was the amortization of deferred financing costs of $109,000 and $160,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, related to the bank and promissory note financings. The remainder of the increases of approximately $12,000 and $27,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, primarily resulted from an increase in the average outstanding balance under our

working capital facility. There was no non-cash interest expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008.
Other Expenses. Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $26,000 compared to $27,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Other expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 were $49,000 compared to $54,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,799,000 ($0.02 per common share) as compared to a net loss of $2,372,000 ($0.03 per common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $573,000. The decrease was primarily due to the cost reduction initiatives which resulted in a reduction of approximately $1,180,000 of operating expenses offset by a decrease in gross profit of $553,000 and an increase in interest expense of $608,000. The net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $3,120,000 ($0.03 per common share) as compared to a net loss of $6,475,000 ($0.09 per common share) for the six months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $3,355,000. The decrease was also primarily due to the cost reduction initiatives which resulted in a reduction of approximately $5,040,000 of operating expenses offset by a decrease in gross profit of $678,000 and an increase in interest expense of $1,012,000.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $2,212,000 compared to $2,781,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $3,944,000 compared to $7,287,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008. We have issued Series A, B and C Preferred Stock that earn a cumulative 5% dividend. The dividends attributable to these shares for the three months ended September, 2009 and 2008 were $413,000 and $409,000, respectively. The dividends attributable to these shares for the six months ended September, 2009 and 2008 were $824,000 and $812,000, respectively
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The rate of growth in the tablet market for our products and our success in gaining market share has been less than we anticipated. We have incurred net losses in each fiscal year since our inception and we expect to report operating losses through the end of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. As at September 30, 2009, our working capital was $551,000 and our cash and cash equivalents were $455,000. From inception, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily from the gross proceeds of private and public sales of debt and equity securities totaling approximately $100.4 million.
Sources of capital that are immediately available to us are a loan and security agreement with a commercial bank to finance eligible accounts receivables with a net borrowing capacity of up to $4 million depending upon eligible assets and, our principal shareholder, Phoenix.
From March 30, 2009 through July 13, 2009, we amended our revolving credit facility six times to extend the maturity date of our borrowings under that facility until August 14, 2009. We also reduced the maximum borrowings under our credit line from $8 million to $4 million, excluded inventory from our borrowing base and arranged for our lender to provide us with up to $1 million of additional availability in excess of the borrowing base, which we refer to as non-formula loans, based on a supporting irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a commercial bank for the account of Philip Sassower, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and his wife Susan Sassower. During this time period, the interest rate under our facility increased from the bank’s “prime rate” plus 2.25% to the greater of 6.25% or 2.25% above the bank’s “prime rate”. The minimum tangible net worth covenant under the credit facility was also increased to $1,575,000 and such minimum amount will increase quarterly by fifty percent of net income and/or fifty percent of issuances of equity or subordinated debt.
On September 15, 2009, we entered into a new agreement with our existing senior lender to replace the existing loan and security agreement. Under the terms of the new agreement, we finance certain eligible U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable, as defined, up to a maximum $4,000,000. Borrowings bear interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 3.42% per annum. The interest rate may increase by approximately 0.72% if our monthly quick ratio (i.e., cash plus eligible accounts to current liabilities less $1 million) is less than half percent. We are obligated to repay each loan advance on the earliest of the date on which the financed receivable payment is received or the date to which the financed receivable becomes ineligible or 90 days past due. The maturity date of the new agreement maturity is February 5, 2010. The new agreement is subject to a minimum monthly interest fee of $4,000.
On September 30, 2009, we raised $300,000 in a private placement with JAG Multi Investments LLC through the issuance of a secured demand note and warrants to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.10 per share. The terms of the warrants are consistent with the terms of the warrants issued to the purchasers of the secured promissory notes and expire on September 30, 2012.
On October 13, 2009, we raised $170,000 in a private placement with Philip Sassower, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, through the issuance of a secured demand note (the “Sassower Demand Note”) and warrants to purchase up to

1,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.10 per share. The terms of the warrants are consistent with the terms of the warrants issued to the purchasers of the secured promissory notes and expire on October 13, 2012.
On November 5, 2009, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we could issue up to $3,300 of senior secured subordinated promissory notes (the “Senior Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 33,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we issued Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,210,000 and Warrants to purchase 32,100,000 shares of our common stock in two separate closings on November 5, 2009 and November 9, 2009. The Senior Notes are due and payable in full on December 31, 2011 and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest on the Senior Notes may be paid in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock. The Senior Notes are secured by all of our assets. The indebtedness under the Senior Notes and the security interest granted to the holders of the Senior Notes are subordinated to the rights and security interest of our senior lender, but are senior to the indebtedness held by the purchasers who purchased notes under our note purchase agreement, dated September 5, 2008, as amended, and note purchase agreement, dated as of February 27, 2009, as amended. The warrants issued to the note purchasers are exercisable beginning on January 15, 2010 and will expire on January 14, 2013.
Philip S. Sassower, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, purchased $1,000,000 of the Senior Notes and Warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock in the private placement. The Senior Note and Warrant issued to Mr. Sassower were purchased with $830,000 in cash and the conversion of the Sassower Demand Note.
In addition, on November 5, 2009, we and a majority-in-interest of the purchasers under the Fall 2008 note purchase agreement and Spring 2009 note purchase agreement agreed to extend the maturity date of the secured subordinated promissory notes issued under the note purchase agreements from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 and extend the expiration date of warrants to purchase 40,090,000 shares of our common stock issued in connection with such notes from February 27, 2012 to January 14, 2013.
We used a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement to repay $931,000 in indebtedness to our senior lender under non-formula loans, and we entered into an amendment to the loan and security agreement with the senior lender to terminate our ability to borrow $1,000,000 in non-formula loans. In connection with the amendment, the senior lender returned the $1,000,000 standby letter of credit used as collateral for such borrowings.
In addition, on November 5, 2009, Philip S. Sassower and Susan Sassower reduced the total number of warrants issued to them in connection with the letter of credit reimbursement, compensation and security agreement from 5,000,000 warrants to 1,400,000 warrants. In addition, Mr. Sassower reduced the total number of warrants issued to him in connection with the Sassower Demand Note from 850,000 warrants to 50,000 warrants. On November 5, 2009, JAG Multi Investments LLC also reduced the total number of warrants issued to it in connection a secured demand note in the principal amount of $300,000 issued to it on September 29, 2009 from 1,500,000 warrants to 150,000 warrants.
As of November 9, 2009, there were $650,000 in borrowings outstanding under our amended credit facility after giving effect to the repayment of $931,000 in borrowings pursuant to the non-formula loans supported by the standby letter of credit.
We believe that cash flow from operations, together with borrowings from our credit facility (including any refinancing thereof) and, if necessary, financial support from an affiliate of Phoenix will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operations, working capital, capital spending and debt service for fiscal year 2010. However, we may seek to access the public or private markets whenever conditions are favorable even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time.

Cash Flow Results
The table set forth below provides a summary statement of cash flows for the periods indicated:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Six Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2009 | | 2008 | | 2009 | | 2008 | |
| | (in thousands of dollars) | |
Cash used in operating activities | | $ | (646 | ) | $ | (1,387 | ) | $ | (734 | ) | $ | (2,577 | ) |
Cash used in investing activities | | (59 | ) | (72 | ) | (99 | ) | (151 | ) |
Cash provided by financing activities | | 99 | | 1,730 | | 494 | | 2,416 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | 455 | | 421 | | 455 | | 421 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Our operating activities used $646,000 of net cash for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $1,387,000 of net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September, 30, 2008, a favorable decline of $741,000 or approximately 53%. The decrease in net cash used in our operations reflects our actions to significantly reduce our operating expenses and cash burn to a level commensurate with our anticipated revenue with the objective of becoming self funded. The decrease was principally due to a decline in our net loss of $573,000 due primarily to our reduction of operating expenses combined with a favorable timing of accounts receivable collections. Our operating activities used $734,000 of net cash for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $2,577,000 of net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September, 30, 2008, a favorable decline of $1,843,000 or approximately 72%. This decrease was also principally due to a decline in our net loss of $3,355,000 offset by benefits in the prior year due to the more favorable timing of vendor payments of $844,000, prepayments of $436,000 and receivables collection of $173,000.
Net cash used in investment activities consists of additions to fixed assets, primarily demonstration units.
Our financing activities provided $99,000 of net cash for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $1,730,000 of net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the six months ended September 30, 2009 our financing activities provided $494,000 compared to $2,416,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2009 consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes and equity of $361,000 less net repayment of $272,000 of our working capital credit facility. For the six months ended September 30, 2009, net proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes and equity of $477,000 and net borrowings of $6,000 from our working capital facility accounted for net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2008 consisted of net borrowings of $1,450,000 from our working capital credit facility and net proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes of $898,000 along with proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $68,000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as that term is defined under the Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the period covered by this report that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
(b) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
23
Table of Contents
management and the directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009 based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. None of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.
Risks Relating to our Business
In the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, we had two customers that accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. If we are unable to replace revenue generated from one of our major resellers or end-user customers with revenue from others in future periods, our revenue may decrease and our growth would be limited.
Historically, in any given quarter a single customer, either reseller or end-user customer, could account for more than 10% of our revenue. In the three months ended September 30, 2009, two customers located in the United States accounted for approximately 48% of our total revenue. If we are unable to replace revenue generated from our major customers, including resellers, with revenue from others our revenue may decrease and our growth would be limited.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On July 15, 2009 and September 30, 2009, we issued secured subordinated promissory and demand notes in the aggregate principal amount of 315,000 and issued warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share to purchasers. The issuance of the notes was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) as the transaction did not involve a public offering.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we issued a total of 150,000 shares of common stock to Martin Janis & Company, Inc. in return for approximately $27,000 of investor relations services provided to us from July 15, 2009 to October 14, 2009. The issuance of the shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) as the transaction did not involve a public offering. The shares were issued as follows:
Date Issued | | Number of Shares | | Price Per Share | |
July 15, 2009 | | 50,000 | | $ | .0.175 | |
