In this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "Telanetix," "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Telanetix, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
We have restated herein our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 to correct errors in such condensed consolidated financial statements and financial information. These errors were attributable to errors in the valuation of warrants issued in connection with our financings in December 2006, February 2007, and August 2007. More information regarding the impact of the restatements on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 is disclosed in "Note 3– Restatement" to our financial statements included in this Report.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, or the "Securities Act," and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the "Exchange Act." These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results, including those set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this report.

These terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon management's current expectations and belief, which management believes are reasonable. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors, or factors we are aware of, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
You should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including:
· | new competitors are likely to emerge and new technologies may further increase competition; |
· | our operating costs may increase beyond our current expectations and we may be unable to fully implement our current business plan; |
· | our ability to obtain future financing or funds when needed; |
· | our ability to successfully obtain a diverse customer base; |
· | our ability to protect our intellectual property through patents, trademarks, copyrights and confidentiality agreements; |
· | our ability to attract and retain a qualified employee base; |
· | our ability to respond to new developments in technology and new applications of existing technology before our competitors; |
· | acquisitions, business combinations, strategic partnerships, divestures, and other significant transactions may involve additional uncertainties; |
· | our ability to maintain and execute a successful business strategy; and |
· | we face other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the "SEC." |
Other risks and uncertainties include such factors, among others, as market acceptance and market demand for our products and services, pricing, the changing regulatory environment, the effect of our accounting policies, potential seasonality, industry trends, adequacy of our financial resources to execute our business plan, our ability to attract, retain and motivate key technical, marketing and management personnel, possible disruption in commercial activities occasioned by terrorist activity and armed conflict, and other risk factors detailed in this report and our other SEC filings. You should consider carefully the statements under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in "Part II—Other Information" and other sections of this report, which address additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements and could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | Basis of Presentation and Going Concern |
The accompanying unaudited financial statements, consisting of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes typically found in the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, our independent registered auditors concluded that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and this condition remains as of September 30, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts; valuation of inventories; valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment; valuation of stock based compensation expense under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payments”; the valuation of warrants and conversion features; and other contingencies. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates 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 value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
We remain dependent on outside sources of funding until our results of operations provide positive cash flows. Our independent registered auditors issued a going concern uncertainty in their report dated April 14, 2008 since there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we were unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support our operations and were dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors. We experienced negative financial results as follows:
| | 2007 | | | 2006 | |
Net loss | | $ | (10,633,026 | ) | | $ | (3,119,056 | ) |
Negative cash flow from operating activities | | | (5,582,487 | ) | | | (1,827,261 | ) |
Working capital deficit | | | (13,585,737 | ) | | | (134,726 | ) |
Stockholders’ equity (deficit) | | | 18,377,773 | | | | (1,130,778 | ) |
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.
We have supported current operations by raising additional operating cash through the private sale of our convertible debentures. This has provided us with the cash to continue our business plan, but has not resulted in significant improvement in our financial position. We are considering alternatives to address our cash situation that include: (1) raising capital through additional sale of our common stock and/or debentures and (2) reducing cash operating expenses to levels that are in line with current revenues.
The first alternative could result in substantial dilution of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that our current financial position can be improved, that we can raise additional working capital or that we can achieve positive cash flows from operations. Our long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to:
• | locate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and near-term future requirements; and |
• | achieve profitability and ultimately generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain our continuing operations. |
Reclassifications:
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net losses.
2. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective sixty days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 162 is not anticipated to materially impact our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB released SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”), which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of SFAS No. 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the implementation of SFAS No. 161 will have on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires (i) that noncontrolling (minority) interests be reported as a component of shareholders’ equity, (ii) that net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be separately identified in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, (iii) that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest be accounted for as equity transactions, (iv) that any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, and (v) that sufficient disclosures are provided that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively. However, the presentation and disclosure requirements of the statement shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 160 is not anticipated to materially impact our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) changes the requirements for an acquirer’s recognition and measurement of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively for all business combinations entered into after the date of adoption.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 did not materially impact our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value using generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures related to fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, SFAS No.157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 changes current practice. SFAS No. 157 became effective for us on January 1, 2008. Subsequent to the issuance of SFAS No. 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. We adopted all of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 with the exception of the application to nonfinancial assets and liabilities.
The Company has restated herein its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 to correct errors in the 2007 condensed consolidated financial statements that would have a material effect on the financial statements for the current year if not corrected. The effects of restatement are shown below.

4. | Securities Exchange Agreement |
On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with the investors in its previous debenture and preferred stock financings under which the Company issued six-year, interest only debentures due June 30, 2014 in exchange for all of the then outstanding debentures and shares of preferred stock of the Company. The debentures issued amend and restate the terms of the previously outstanding debentures. The debentures issued in this transaction (an aggregate principal amount of $26.1 million) were exchanged for all of the then outstanding debentures held by the investors (an aggregate principal amount of $10.7 million), accrued interest on the outstanding debentures of $0.1 million, all of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock held by the investors (stated value of $14.9 million), and accrued dividends on such preferred stock of $0.4 million. Also in conjunction with the transaction, the exercise prices of the outstanding warrants issued in the previous debenture and preferred stock financings were reduced from $1.25 per share to $1.00 per share. The number of common shares underlying these warrants was not adjusted in connection with this change in exercise price.
The Company, with the help of an independent valuation firm, determined that a concession was not granted by the creditors pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 02-4, “Determining Whether a Debtor’s Modifications or Exchange of Debt Instruments is within the Scope of FASB Statement No. 15.” The Company determined that the newly issued debentures were not substantially different from the then outstanding debentures in accordance with EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”, and accounted for the transaction as a modification of the then outstanding debentures.
See Note 7 – Convertible Debentures, Note 8 – Warrants and Warrant Liabilities, and Note 10 – Preferred Stock, Common Stock and Dividends.
Effective September 14, 2007, the Company acquired AccessLine Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AccessLine”), and effective April 1, 2007, the Company acquired all of the stock of two corporations which own all of the membership interests in AVS Installation Limited Liability Company and Union Labor Force One Limited Liability Company (together, “AVS”).
AccessLine
Effective September 14, 2007, the Company acquired AccessLine, a Bellevue, Washington-based provider of hosted VoIP solutions to the small-and-medium business marketplace. The consideration paid by the Company for AccessLine consisted of 3,939,565 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $14.2 million, $11.7 million in cash, and $2.0 million in acquisition costs for a total of $27.9 million. Pursuant to the earn out provisions of the acquisition agreement, the Company was required to pay up to an additional $9.0 million in the form of 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock upon the achievement of certain future financial objectives, the value of which would increase the amount of goodwill recorded in the transaction. The first earn out period ended December 31, 2007. In April 2008, when the contingency related to the first earn out period was resolved, the Company issued 599,130 shares valued at $0.6 million, resulting in increases to goodwill and equity. The second earn out period ended June 30, 2008, and the Company issued 529,252 shares valued at $0.3 million in July 2008 when the contingency was resolved. The increase in goodwill and equity was recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2008. There are two additional earn out periods which will terminate on December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009. The Company may be required to pay up to 1,250,000 additional shares of common stock upon AccessLine's achievement of certain future financial objectives during those periods.
AVS
Effective April 1, 2007, the Company acquired AVS, which at the time of acquisition was one of the Company’s channel partners. AVS provides a full range of audio visual solutions to clients and end-users as the single point of contact during design and project implementation. The consideration paid by the Company for the membership interests of AVS consisted of 248,119 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $1.3 million and acquisition costs of less than $0.1 million for a total of $1.3 million. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date with the assistance of an independent appraisal. The Company recorded approximately $0.9 million of goodwill, $0.9 million of identifiable intangible assets, and $0.5 million of net tangible liabilities in connection with this acquisition. The primary reason for the acquisition and the factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill relate to AVS' expertise in the audio visual field and their client base, that when combined with the Company's existing product offerings, allow the Company with the ability to provide solutions required for videoconferencing and audio visual needs.
Pro-Forma Information
AccessLine’s and AVS' results are included in the Company's results of operations from the acquisition dates. The unaudited financial information table below summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company, AccessLine and AVS, on a pro forma basis, as if the acquisitions had occurred at January 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma financial information combines the historical results of operations of the Company, AccessLine and AVS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the actual operating results that would have been recorded had the acquisitions actually taken place on January 1, 2007, and should not be taken as indicative of future consolidated operating results.

6. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 applies to certain assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. SFAS No. 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
At September 30, 2008, the Company recorded liabilities related to its warrants (See Note 8 – Warrants and Warrant Liabilities) and the beneficial conversion feature of its convertible debentures (See Note 7 – Convertible Debentures) at their fair market values as provided by SFAS No. 157.
The following table provides fair market measurements of the warrant and beneficial conversion feature liabilities:
| | | Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |
Description | | | September 30, 2008 | |
Warrant liabilities | | | $ | 1,093,776 | |
Beneficial conversion feature liabilities | | | | 3,609,035 | |
| | | $ | 4,702,811 | |
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the warrant and beneficial conversion feature liabilities. The change in fair market value of the warrant and beneficial conversion feature liabilities is included in Other Income (Expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
| | Warrant liability | | | Beneficial conversion feature liability | | | Total | |
Beginning balance January 1, 2008 | | $ | 7,410,515 | | | $ | 1,693,408 | | | $ | 9,103,923 | |
Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements | | | 1,804,803 | | | | 5,367,070 | | | | 7,171,873 | |
Change in fair market value of warrant and beneficial conversion liabilities | | | (8,121,543 | ) | | | (3,451,442 | ) | | | (11,572,985 | ) |
Ending balance September 30, 2008 | | $ | 1,093,775 | | | $ | 3,609,036 | | | $ | 4,702,811 | |
Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities and convertible debentures approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
As discussed in Note 4 – Securities Exchange Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Exchange Agreement the Company entered into with certain investors on June 30, 2008, the Company exchanged the outstanding principal balances of the debentures it issued in December 2006, August 2007 and March 2008 for newly issued debentures, the terms of which are discussed below under the heading “June 2008.” Prior to entering into the Securities Exchange Agreement, the conversion prices on the December 2006, August 2007 and March 2008 debentures were reduced to $1.25 per share pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of such debentures.
In August 2008, the Company issued $2.0 million principal amount of debentures which are discussed below under the heading “August 2008.”
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had reserved 22,556,384 shares of common stock for the conversion of the outstanding debentures issued in June 2008 and August 2008.
December 2006 and February 2007
On December 28, 2006, the Company issued original issue discount 6% unsecured convertible debentures and common stock purchase warrants to four unaffiliated institutional investors. The Company issued an aggregate of $3.7 million principal amount of debentures at an original issue discount of 12.5% and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 949,907 shares of common stock. Net proceeds to the Company were $3.0 million after deducting legal fees and transaction expenses totaling $0.2 million, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs.
On February 12, 2007, the Company issued original issue discount 6% unsecured convertible debentures and common stock purchase warrants to the same four unaffiliated institutional investors in the December 2006 private placement. The Company issued an aggregate of $1.5 million principal amount of debentures at an original issue discount of 12.5% and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 401,040 shares of common stock. Net proceeds to the Company were $1.3 million after deducting legal fees and transaction expenses of $0.1 million, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs.
The debentures issued in both private placements were due December 31, 2008. Interest on the debentures accrued at the rate of 6% per annum and was payable quarterly on April 1, July 1, October 1, and December 1, commencing on April 1, 2007, and on each monthly redemption payment date. Monthly redemption payments equaled 1/18th of the principal amount due under each debenture beginning July 1, 2007 and would have continued through December 31, 2008. Monthly redemption payments also included any accrued interest on the portion of the debentures being redeemed. The Company had the right to pay interest and monthly redemption payments in cash, or upon notice to the holders and compliance with certain equity conditions set forth in the debentures, the Company could have paid all or a portion of any such payment in common stock valued at the price equal to the lesser of the then effective conversion price or 85% of the average of the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") per share for the Company's common stock for the ten trading days prior to the payment date or the date that the shares were delivered. The Company had the option, subject to compliance with certain equity conditions, to redeem the debentures before their maturity by payment in cash of 120% of the then outstanding principal amount of the debenture plus accrued interest and other charges.
The debentures were convertible at any time at the discretion of the holder at a conversion price per share of $1.25, subject to adjustment including full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection. The Company also had the right, subject to compliance with certain equity conditions and certain limitations on the holder’s beneficial ownership of common stock, to force conversion if the average of the VWAP for the Company's common stock exceeded 200% of the then effective conversion price for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 day trading period.
The debentures imposed certain covenants on the Company, including restrictions against incurring additional indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness as defined in the debenture), creating any liens on its property (other than permitted liens as defined in the debenture), amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, redeeming or paying dividends on shares of its outstanding common stock, and entering into certain related party transactions. The debentures defined certain events of default, including without limitation failure to make a payment obligation, failure to observe other covenants of the debenture or related agreements (subject to applicable cure periods), breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, default under another significant contract or credit obligation, delisting of the Company's common stock, a change in control, failure to secure and maintain an effective registration statement covering the resale of the common stock underlying the debentures and the warrants, or failure to deliver share certificates in a timely manner. On the occurrence of an event of default, the holders of the debentures had the right to accelerate all amounts outstanding under the debentures and demand payment of a mandatory default amount equal to 130% of the amount outstanding under the debenture, plus accrued interest and expenses.
The Company also entered into registration rights agreements with the institutional investors in both the December and February private placements, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock that were issuable to investors upon the conversion of the debentures, payment in kind, and the exercise of the warrants, and to maintain the effectiveness of that registration statement (subject to certain limitations) for a period of time until the holders can sell the underlying common stock without volume restrictions under Rule 144. The Company filed the required registration statements, and they were declared effective in accordance with terms of the registration rights agreement. Because the holders could have sold the underlying stock without volume restrictions under Rule 144, the Company’s registration obligation had terminated.
Prior to the Securities Exchange Agreement, (i) the holders of the debentures issued in December 2006 converted $1.8 million of principal value into 1,187,382 shares of common stock at the original conversion price of $1.54 per share; and (ii) the holders of the debentures issued in February 2007 converted the entire principal balance of $1.5 million into 1,002,598 shares of common stock at the original conversion price of $1.54 per share.
The holders of the debentures issued in December 2006 converted $1.7 million of principal value into the debentures issued in June 2008.
August 2007
On August 30, 2007, the Company issued original issue discount 6% unsecured convertible debentures and common stock purchase warrants to five unaffiliated institutional investors. The Company issued an aggregate of $8.0 million principal amount of debentures at an original issue discount of 12.5%, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 826,190 shares of common stock. Net proceeds to the Company were $6.5 million after deducting legal fees and transaction expenses of $0.5 million, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs.
The terms of debentures issued in August 2007 were substantially similar to the terms of the debentures issued in December 2006 and February 2007, except as follows: (i) the maturity date of the August 2007 debentures was June 30, 2009; (ii) interest payments commenced on October 1, 2007; and (iii) monthly redemption payments began December 1, 2007 and were to continue through May 1, 2009.
The Company also entered into registration rights agreements with the institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock that would have been issuable to investors upon the conversion of the debentures, payment in kind, and the exercise of the warrants, and to maintain the effectiveness of that registration statement (subject to certain limitations) for a period of time until the holders could have sold the underlying common stock without volume restrictions under Rule 144. As a result of the changes made to Rule 144, which were effective February 15, 2008, the Company's obligations under these registration rights agreements terminated as of February 29, 2008. However, if the Company failed to satisfy the public information requirement under Rule 144 and the underlying shares could not be sold because of such failure, the Company, as partial relief for damages to the investors by reason of such inability to sell, agreed to pay the investors cash damages, payable on the date of such failure and on every 30th day thereafter, equal to one percent of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor under the terms of the August 2007 financing documents.
The holders of the debentures issued in August 2007 converted $5.5 million of principal value into the debentures issued in June 2008.
March 2008
On March 27, 2008, the Company entered into a separate securities purchase agreement with two of the institutional investors that invested in the previous private placements, pursuant to which the Company issued original issue discount 6.0% senior secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $3.4 million (issued at an original issue discount of 12.5%), along with five year warrants to purchase 814,285 shares of common stock at a price of $1.92 per share, subject to adjustment, including full-ratchet anti-dilution protection. The Company refers to this transaction as the March 2008 Private Placement. The March 2008 Private Placement resulted in net proceeds of $2.8 million, after deducting fees and expenses of $0.2 million which were capitalized as deferred financing costs. In addition to the fees and expenses related to the transaction, the Company issued its investment banking firm a warrant to purchase 78,125 shares of common stock at $1.92 per share. The warrant is exercisable immediately and expires in March 2013. The value of the warrant, $67,734, was capitalized as deferred financing costs.
The terms of debentures issued in March 2008 were substantially similar to the terms of the debentures issued in August 2007, except as follows: (i) the maturity date of the March 2008 debentures was April 30, 2010; and (ii) monthly redemption payments began October 1, 2008 and were to continue through March 1, 2010.
The holders of the debentures issued in March 2008 converted $3.4 million of principal value into the debentures issued in June 2008.
June 2008
On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement, see Note 4 – Securities Exchange Agreement, with the holders of all of the then outstanding debentures and shares of preferred stock of the Company, pursuant to which the Company issued six-year, interest only debentures due June 30, 2014 in exchange for all of the currently outstanding debentures and shares of preferred stock of the Company. The debentures issued amend and restate the terms of the previously outstanding debentures held by the investors.
The following summarizes the terms of the debentures issued in June 2008:
Term. The debentures are due and payable on June 30, 2014.
Interest. Interest accrues at the rate of 12.0% per annum and is payable monthly, commencing on August 1, 2008.
Principal Payment. The principal amount of the debenture, if not paid earlier, is due and payable on June 30, 2014.
Payments of Interest. The Company has the right to make interest payments in cash, or upon notice to the holders and compliance with certain equity conditions, the Company can pay all or a portion of any such payment in common stock valued at a price equal to the lesser of the then effective conversion price (initially $1.25) or 85% of the average of the VWAP per share of the common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable payment date.
Early Redemption. The Company has the right to redeem the debentures before their maturity by payment in cash of 120% of the then outstanding principal amount plus (i) accrued but unpaid interest, (ii) an amount equal to all interest that would have accrued if the principal amount subject to such redemption had remained outstanding through the maturity date and (iv) all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the debenture. To redeem the debentures the Company must meet certain equity conditions. The payment of the debentures would occur on the 10th day following the date we gave the holders notice of our intent to redeem the debentures. The Company agreed to honor any notices of conversion received from a holder before the pay off date of the debentures.
Voluntary Conversion by Holder. The debentures are convertible at anytime at the discretion of the holder at a conversion price per share of $1.25, subject to adjustment including full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection.
Forced Conversion. Subject to compliance with certain equity conditions, the Company also has the right to force conversion if the VWAP for its common stock exceeds 200% of the then effective conversion price for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading day period. Any forced conversion is subject the Company meeting certain equity conditions and is subject to a 4.99% cap on the beneficial ownership of the Company’s shares of common stock by the holder and its affiliates following such conversion.
Covenants. The debentures impose certain covenants on the Company, including restrictions against incurring additional indebtedness, creating any liens on our property, amending our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, redeeming or paying dividends on shares of our outstanding common stock, and entering into certain related party transactions. The debentures define certain events of default, including without limitation failure to make a payment obligation, failure to observe other covenants of the debenture or related agreements (subject to applicable cure periods), breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, default under another significant contract or credit obligation, delisting of our common stock, a change in control, failure to secure and maintain an effective registration statement covering the resale of the common stock underlying the debentures and the warrants, or failure to deliver share certificates in a timely manner. In the event of default, the holders of the debentures have the right to accelerate all amounts outstanding under the debenture and demand payment of a mandatory default amount equal to 130% of the amount outstanding plus accrued interest and expenses. As of the date of this report, the Company is in compliance with the covenants described above.
Security. The debentures the Company issued are secured by all of our assets under the terms of the amended and restated security agreement we and our subsidiaries entered into with the holders of the June 2008 debentures, which amends and restates the security agreement we and the holders entered into in connection with our August 2007 financing. Each of our subsidiaries also entered into guarantees in favor of the Investors, pursuant to which each subsidiary guaranteed the complete payment and performance by us of our obligations under the debentures and related agreements.
August 2008
On August 13, 2008, the Company entered into a separate debenture and warrant purchase agreement with one of the institutional investors that invested in the previous private placements, pursuant to which the Company issued a senior secured convertible debenture with a principal amount of $2.0 million, along with five year warrants to purchase 608,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment, including full-ratchet anti-dilution protection. The rights and obligations of the investor and of the Company with respect to the debenture and the underlying common shares are identical to the debentures and underlying common shares issued pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement dated June 30, 2008. The rights and obligations of the investor and of the Company with respect to the warrant and the underlying common shares are identical to the warrants and underlying common shares issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 27, 2008 among the Company and the purchasers’ signatory thereto.
The Company refers to this transaction as the August 2008 Private Placement, which resulted in net proceeds of $2.0 million.
General
The unamortized discounts on the debentures issued in December 2006, August 2007 and March 2008 were carried forward as discounts on the debentures issued in June 2008, and will be amortized to interest expense through June 30, 2014. See Note 4 – Securities Exchange Agreement. The discounts on the debentures issued in August 2008 will be amortized to interest expense through June 30, 2014.
The following table summarizes information relative to the outstanding debentures at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

The convertible debentures outstanding at September 30, 2008 are due June 30, 2014.
The Company determined that the convertible debentures issued in February 2007 had a non-cash beneficial conversion feature of $0.5 million. The beneficial conversion feature was determined based on the difference between the calculated conversion value after the allocation of the full fair value of the warrants issued in connection with such debentures of $0.8 million to the debt discount and the fair value of the Company's common stock of $2.49 per share. After the allocation of proceeds between the debentures and warrants were made, a conversion price of $1.583 was calculated based on the allocated amount to debentures divided by the total number of shares into which the debentures are convertible. The calculated amount of $0.907, the difference of the fair value of the common stock of $2.49 and the effective conversion price of $1.583, represented the beneficial value per share. This beneficial value was applied to the total shares into which the debentures were convertible to calculate the beneficial conversion feature. Through June 30, 2008, the discounts on account of the beneficial conversion feature and fair value of the warrants were recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the related debentures. As of July 1, 2008, the unamortized discounts on an account of the beneficial conversion feature and fair value of the warrants will be recognized as additional interest expense over the term of debentures issued in June 2008, or through June 30, 2014.
The Company determined that the convertible debentures issued in August 2007 had a non-cash beneficial conversion feature of $1.8 million. The beneficial conversion feature was determined based on the difference between the calculated conversion value after the allocation of the full fair value of the warrants issued in connection with such debentures of $2.4 million to the debt discount and the fair value of the Company's common stock of $3.60 per share. After the allocation of proceeds between the debentures and warrants were made, a conversion price of $2.692 was calculated based on the allocated amount to debentures divided by the total number of shares into which the debentures are convertible. The calculated amount of $0.908, the difference of the fair value of the common stock of $3.60 and the effective conversion price of $2.692, represented the beneficial value per share. This beneficial value was applied to the total shares into which the debentures were convertible to calculate the beneficial conversion feature. Through June 30, 2008, the discounts on account of the beneficial conversion feature and fair value of the warrants are recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the related debentures. As of July 1, 2008, the unamortized discounts on an account of the beneficial conversion feature and fair value of the warrants will be recognized as additional interest expense over the term of debentures issued in June 2008, or through June 30, 2014.
The Company determined that the convertible debentures issued in March 2008 had a non-cash beneficial conversion feature of $1.1 million. The beneficial conversion feature was determined based on the fair value of the embedded conversion feature ($0.53 per share) at the issuance date. Through June 30, 2008, the discounts on account of the beneficial conversion feature and fair value of the warrants were recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the related debentures. As of July 1, 2008, the unamortized discounts on an account of the beneficial conversion feature and fair value of the warrants will be recognized as additional interest expense over the term of debentures issued in June 2008, or through June 30, 2014.
The Company determined that the convertible debentures issued in June 2008 had a non-cash beneficial conversion feature of $4.0 million. The beneficial conversion feature was determined based on the fair value of the embedded conversion feature ($0.19 per share) at the issuance date. In connection with the Securities Exchange Agreement, the Company reduced the beneficial conversion feature discount on the debentures issued in June 2008 by $0.8 million to reclassify the remaining beneficial conversion liabilities related to the previously issued debentures. The discounts on account of the beneficial conversion feature will be recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the related debentures, or through June 30, 2014.
The Company determined that the convertible debenture issued in August 2008 had a non-cash beneficial conversion feature of $1.0 million. The beneficial conversion feature was determined based on the fair value of the embedded conversion feature ($0.63 per share) at the issuance date. The discounts on account of the beneficial conversion feature and fair value of the warrants will be recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the related debentures, or through June 30, 2014.
At each reporting period the Company assesses the convertible debentures under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”) and EITF No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock”, and at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company determined that the beneficial conversion feature in the convertible debentures represented an embedded derivative liability. Accordingly, the Company bifurcated the embedded conversion feature and accounted for it as a derivative liability because the conversion price and ultimate number of shares can be adjusted if the Company subsequently issues common stock at a lower price and it was deemed possible the Company could have to net cash settle the contract if there were not enough authorized shares to issue upon conversion. At December 31, 2006 and each of the quarterly reporting periods in 2007, the Company determined the conversion feature was not an embedded derivative that needed to be bifurcated based on the factors existing for each respective reporting period. The Company’s conclusion changed at December 31, 2007 due to the decline in the stock price and the Company’s need to raise additional funds to continue operations.
The convertible debentures contain embedded derivative features, which are accounted for at fair value as a compound embedded derivative at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. This compound embedded derivative includes the following material features: (1) the standard conversion feature of the debentures; (2) a reset of the conversion price condition for subsequent equity sales; (3) the Company’s ability to pay interest in cash or shares of its common stock; (4) optional redemption at the Company’s election; (5) forced conversion; (6) holder’s restriction on conversion; and (7) a default put.
The Company, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, calculated the fair value of the compound embedded derivative associated with the convertible debentures utilizing a complex, customized Monte Carlo simulation model suitable to value path dependant American options. The model uses the risk neutral methodology adapted to value corporate securities. This model utilized subjective and theoretical assumptions that can materially affect fair values from period to period.
At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company recorded beneficial conversion liabilities of $3.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $1.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, related to the change in fair market value of the beneficial conversion liabilities.
8. | Warrants and Warrant Liabilities |
On December 28, 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 949,907 shares of common stock at $1.69 per share in conjunction with the sale of its debentures. On February 12, 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase 401,040 shares of common stock at $1.69 per share in conjunction with the sale of its debentures. On August 30, 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,758,008 shares of common stock at $4.20 per share in conjunction with the sale of its Series A preferred stock and issued warrants to purchase 826,190 shares of common stock at $4.20 per share in conjunction with the sale of its debentures. On March 27, 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase 814,285 shares of common stock at $1.92 per share in conjunction with the sale of its debentures. Each of these warrants is immediately exercisable and expires five years from the issue date.
Prior to the Securities Exchange Agreement executed on June 30, 2008, the exercise prices of the warrants discussed above were reduced to $1.25 per share, resulting in an increase in the number of aggregate shares of common stock underlying the warrants to 11,205,809. On June 30, 2008 in connection with the Securities Exchange Agreement, the exercise prices of the warrants discussed above were further reduced to $1.00 per share. The number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants remained at 11,205,809. The Company recorded $0.2 million of deferred financing costs related to the change in exercise price discussed above. See Note 4 – Securities Exchange Agreement.
On August 13, 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase 608,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share in conjunction with the sale of its debentures. The warrant is immediately exercisable and expires five years from the date of issuance. The number of common shares underlying the warrants and the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the Series A preferred stock and all of the debentures are subject to adjustment, including full ratchet, anti-dilution protection.
Through September 30, 2008, 410,000 of the warrants issued in December 2006 have been exercised for cash at $1.69 per share. None of the other warrants discussed above have been exercised as of September 30, 2008.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 133 and EITF No. 00-19, the fair value of the warrants at the issuance was recorded as a warrant liability because the exercise price of the warrants can adjust if the Company subsequently issues common stock at a lower price and it is possible for the Company to not have enough authorized shares to settle the warrants and therefore would have to settle the warrants with cash.
The fair value of the warrants was estimated at the issuance dates and revalued at September 30, 2008, using the Monte Carlo model discussed in Note 7 – Convertible Debentures, above. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company recorded warrant liabilities of $1.1 million and $7.4 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The change in fair value of the warrants for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $1.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively, were reported as other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The warrant had a three year term, and was accounted for as an equity issuance in the financial statements. The warrant was exercised in 2007. The fair value of the warrant issued to Aequitas Capital at the issue date was calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 4.75%, volatility factor of 42.90%, contractual term and expected term of 3 years. The fair value of the warrant of $0.6 million was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The warrant has a three year term, and was accounted for as an equity issuance in the financial statements. The fair value of the warrant issued to Bridge Bank at the issue date was calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 4.77%, volatility factor of 32.18%, contractual term and expected term of 3 years. The fair value of the warrant was less than $0.1 million and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
On February 15, 2008, the Company issued an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share pursuant to a consulting agreement.

On March 26, 2008, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $1.73 per share to a financial and marketing consulting firm in connection with a client service agreement. The warrant has a five year term, 50% of the shares are immediately exercisable, and the remaining 50% are exercisable in June 2008. The fair value of the warrant at the issue date was calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 2.61%, volatility factor of 65.5%, contractual term and expected term of 5 years. The fair value of the warrant was $0.2 million, the Company recognized $0.1 million as expense during the three months ended March 31, 2008, and recognized the remaining $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The expense related to the warrant is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
On March 27, 2008, the Company issued an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase 78,125 shares of common stock at $1.92 per share to its investment bankers in connection with the March 2008 financing transaction. The warrant has a five year term, and was accounted for as an equity issuance in the financial statements.

The fair value of the warrant was $0.1 million, and was capitalized to deferred financing costs and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debentures using the effective interest method.
On May 31, 2008, the Company issued an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase 105,000 shares of common stock at $1.25 per share to a public relations consultant. The warrant has a five year term, and was accounted for as an equity issuance in the financial statements. The fair value of the warrant at the issue date was calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 3.4%, volatility factor of 63.9%, contractual term and expected term of 5 years. The fair value of the warrant was less than $0.1 million, and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Leases
The Company has non-cancelable operating and capital leases for corporate facilities and equipment.
Minimum Third Party Network Service Provider Commitments
The Company has a contract with a third party network service provider that facilitates interconnects with a number of 3rd party network service providers. The contract contains a minimum usage guarantee of $0.2 million per monthly billing cycle. The contract commenced on October 16, 2003 with an initial 24 month term. The contract was extended in July 2005 for a 3 year term that expired in July 2008. On October 24, 2008, the contract was extended for another 3 year term. The cancellation terms are a ninety (90) day written notice prior to the extended term expiring.
Litigation Settlement
From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. However, in the opinion of our management, there are no legal claims currently pending or threatened against us that would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2008, the Company issued 72,000 shares of its common stock valued at $0.2 million in settlement of compensation claims made by a former sales representative. The settlement amount was accrued at December 31, 2007, and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the Company was required to issue additional shares of its common stock should the Company’s stock price decline during the six month period subsequent to the date of the settlement. In July 2008, pursuant to terms of the settlement reached in January 2008, the Company issued an additional 60,000 shares of its common stock valued at less than $0.1 million, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
On August 5, 2005, the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, unanimously adopted an order requiring VoIP providers to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA. CALEA requires covered providers to assist law enforcement agencies in conducting lawfully authorized electronic surveillance. Under the FCC order, all VoIP providers were to become fully CALEA compliant by May 14, 2007. The Company engaged a third party to help it develop a solution to be CALEA compliant. In February 2007, the Company notified the FCC that it did not expect to have a CALEA compliant solution completed by May 14, 2007, but that it instead expected to have the development complete by September 1, 2007. The Company’s formal CALEA compliance testing with the third party was completed on September 28, 2007. Currently, the Company’s CALEA solution is fully deployed in its network. However, the Company could be subject to an enforcement action by the FCC or law enforcement agencies for any delays related to meeting, or if the Company fails to comply with, any current or future CALEA obligations.
Universal Service Fund
In June 2006, the FCC concluded that VoIP providers must contribute to the Universal Service Fund, or USF. The FCC established a contribution safe harbor percentage of 64.9% of total VoIP service revenue. Alternatively, VoIP providers are permitted to calculate their contribution based on FCC pre-approved traffic studies. The Company began contributing to the USF on October 1, 2006 using the 64.9% safe harbor. In the meantime, the FCC continues to evaluate alternative methods for assessing USF charges, including imposing an assessment on telephone numbers. The outcome of these proceedings cannot be determined at this time nor can the Company determine the potential financial impact as the details of an alternative method of USF contribution have not been determined at this time. There is also a risk that state USF funds may attempt to impose state USF contribution obligations and other state and local charges.
Sales and additional taxes
Based upon a new Internal Revenue Service ruling, the Company ceased collecting federal excise tax on August 1, 2006 on long-distance or bundled services. The Company has not collected or accrued liabilities for E911 taxes for VoIP services prior to July 1, 2006, and it is possible that substantial claims for back taxes may be asserted against the Company. Also, the Company is currently working to obtain Inter Exchange Carrier (IXC) certification in Alaska, Maryland and Mississippi. The Company’s current certification status in these three states may leave it liable for fees and penalties that could decrease its ability to compete with traditional telephone companies. In addition, future expansion of the Company’s service, along with other aspects of its evolving business, may result in additional sales and other tax obligations. One or more taxing authorities may seek to impose sales, use or other tax collection obligations on the Company. The Company has received inquiries or demands from numerous state authorities and may be subjected to audit at any time. A successful assertion by one or more taxing authorities that the Company should collect sales, use or other taxes on the sale of its services could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales.
Other
In connection with its acquisition of AccessLine, the Company was required to pay up to an additional $9.0 million in the form of 2,500,000 shares of our restricted common stock upon the achievement of certain future financial objectives, the value of which would increase the amount of goodwill recorded in the transaction. The first earn out period ended December 31, 2007. In April 2008, when the contingency related to the first earn out period was resolved, the Company issued 599,130 shares valued at $0.6 million, resulting in increases to goodwill and equity. The second earn out period ended June 30, 2008, and the Company issued 529,252 shares valued at $0.3 million in July 2008 when the contingency was resolved. The increase in goodwill and equity were recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2008. There are two additional earn out periods which will terminate on December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009. The Company may be required to pay up to 1,250,000 additional shares of common stock upon AccessLine's achievement of certain future financial objectives during those periods.
On April 18, 2007, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking tentatively concluding that VoIP providers should pay regulatory fees. According to the notice, the FCC would like to begin collection of such fees in the August to September 2007 timeframe. The FCC is considering calculating contribution obligations for VoIP providers based on either revenues or telephone numbers used. We cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding. On June 8, 2007, the FCC released an order implementing various recommendations from its Independent Panel Reviewing the Impact of Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks Panel, including a requirement that certain VoIP providers submit reports regarding the reliability and resiliency of their 911 systems. At this time, we are not subject to these reporting requirements but may become subject in future years.
On June 15, 2007, the FCC extended the disability access requirements of Sections 225 and 255 of the Communications Act, which applied to traditional phone services, to providers of VoIP services and to manufacturers of specially designed equipment used to provide those services. Section 255 of the Communications Act requires service providers to ensure that its equipment and service is accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if readily achievable, including requiring service providers to ensure that information and documentation provided in connection with equipment or services be accessible to people with disabilities, where readily achievable and that employee training account for accessibility requirements. In addition, the FCC said that VoIP providers were subject to the requirements of Section 225, including contributing to the Telecommunications Relay Services, or TRS, fund and that they must offer 711 abbreviated dialing for access to relay services. Although we contribute to the TRS fund as required, we have not yet implemented a solution for the 711 abbreviated dialing requirement. We may be subject to enforcement actions including, but not limited to, fines, cease and desist orders, or other penalties if we do not comply with these obligations.
In the latter half of 2007, the FCC released two Report and Orders that increase the costs of doing business. One of them, released on August 6, 2007, concerns the collection of regulatory fees for fiscal year 2007, which, for the first time, mandates the collection of such fees from VoIP providers. This order, which became effective in November 2007, requires that VoIP providers pay regulatory fees based on reported interstate and international revenues. Regulatory fees for the FCC's fiscal year 2007 will be due in 2008. Fiscal year 2008 fees will also be paid in 2008 during the normal regulatory fee payment window. The assessment of regulatory fees on our VoIP service offering will increase our costs and reduce our profitability or cause us to increase the retail price of our VoIP service offerings.
The other order, released on November 8, 2007, imposes local number portability and related obligations on VoIP providers, such as requiring VoIP providers to contribute to shared numbering administration costs on a competitively neutral basis. The assessment of local number portability fees to our VoIP service will increase our costs and reduce our profitability or cause us to increase the price of our VoIP service offerings.
10. | Preferred Stock, Common Stock and Dividends |
Pursuant to terms of the Company’s Series A preferred stock (the “Series A Stock”), effective April 1, 2008, the stated value of such stock increased by 15%, or $1.95 million, because the Company’s common stock was not listed on an exchange other than the OTC Bulletin Board by March 31, 2008. The Company recorded a dividend of $1.95 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 related to the increase in stated value of the Series A Stock.
Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement the Company entered into on June 30, 2008, all shares of the Series A Stock, which had a stated value of $14.95 million, and accrued dividends of $0.4 million were converted into the debentures issued on June 30, 2008. See Note 4 – Securities Exchange Agreement. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Pursuant to the terms of a consultant agreement dated July 23, 2008, the Company issued 1.2 million shares of its common stock, valued at $0.5 million, to a consultant in exchange for services during the three months ended September 30, 2008.
11. | Stock Based Compensation |
Stock Option Plan
The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders in August 2006, permits the Company to grant shares of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to the Company’s employees for up to 5 million shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price that approximates the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant; these option awards generally vest based on 4 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. On November 8, 2007, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2005 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for grant to 8.5 million shares.
A summary of option activity under the 2005 Plan as of September 30, 2008, and changes during the nine months then ended is presented below:
| | Shares | | | Weighted-Average Exercise Price |

As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 2,884,481 and 2,968,055 outstanding options were exercisable at an aggregate average exercise price of $1.65 and $0.38, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable at September 30, 2008 was nil.
As of September 30, 2008, total compensation cost related to nonvested stock options not yet recognized was $2.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over the next 3.02 years on a weighted-average basis.
Valuation and Expense Information Under SFAS No. 123(R)
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based upon estimated fair values. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recorded under SFAS No. 123(R) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and its allocation within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:
| | Three months ended September 30, | | | Nine months ended September 30, | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
Cost of product revenues | | $ | 22,483 | | | $ | 20,644 | | | $ | 58,995 | | | $ | 41,064 | |
Selling, general and administrative | | | 206,494 | | | | 175,223 | | | | 1,911,505 | | | | 353,105 | |
Research and development | | | 36,914 | | | | 65,773 | | | | 524,430 | | | | 104,890 | |
Stock based compensation included in operating expenses | | | 243,408 | | | | 240,996 | | | | 2,435,935 | | | | 457,995 | |
Stock-based compensation expense related to employee equity awards | | $ | 265,891 | | | $ | 261,640 | | | $ | 2,494,930 | | | $ | 499,059 | |
Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes $1.4 million of expense related to accelerated vesting and option modifications for former officers of the Company.
Valuation Assumptions:
Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black Scholes option pricing model, and through June 30, 2008, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options using a binomial lattice model; since July 1, 2008, the company is again using the Black Scholes option pricing model, all consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.49 per share and $2.36 per share, respectively. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the valuation models discussed above and is recognized as expense using the straight-line method over the requisite service period:
| | September 30, |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 |
Expected volatility | | 63.9% to 92.1% | | | 58.8% to 60.7 % |
Risk-free interest rate | | 3.3% to 3.9% | | | 4.5% to 4.7%% |
Expected dividends | | | — | | | | — |
Expected life (yrs) | | 6.1 to 9.3 | | | 6.08 |
The expected volatility is based on the weighted average of the historical volatility of publicly traded surrogates in the Company’s peer group.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon published interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the Company’s employee stock options.
The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history of not paying dividends and no future expectations of dividend payouts.
The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its stock-based awards.
As the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, such amounts have been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
12. | Computation of Net Loss Per Share |
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all potential common stock equivalents (convertible preferred stock, convertible debentures, stock options, and warrants) are converted or exercised. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common stock equivalents if the effect is anti-dilutive. The Company's weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for basic and dilutive are the same because the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive.
The Company has the following dilutive common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 which were excluded from the nine month calculation because their effect is anti-dilutive.
| | September 30, |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 |
Convertible Debentures | | | 22,556,384 | | | | 3,440,295 |
Preferred Stock | | | - | | | | 4,626,335 |
Stock Options | | | 5,759,127 | | | | 4,481,056 |
Warrants | | | 12,239,718 | | | | 3,837,929 |
Total | | | 40,555,229 | | | | 16,385,615 |

14. | Related party transactions |
In March 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Aequitas Capital Management, Inc. (“Aequitas Capital”), in order to provide prospective customers with a leasing alternative for the Company’s telepresence videoconferencing systems. At the time the parties entered into this agreement, Aequitas Capital beneficially owned five percent or more of the Company’s then outstanding common stock, but currently does not. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued Aequitas Capital an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Under the terms of the agreement with Aequitas Capital, qualifying customers will be able to lease one of the Company’s telepresence videoconferencing systems through private label leasing provided by Aequitas Capital. Once the qualifying customer accepts the terms and conditions of the approved leasing arrangement and executes the documents, the Company will sell the telepresence videoconferencing system to Aequitas Capital who in turn will lease it to the customer on the terms and conditions agreed to by Aequitas Capital and the customer. The Company agreed to provide Aequitas Capital with a right of first refusal for providing prospective customers with this type of the leasing arrangement.
Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company sold an aggregate of eight Digital Presence Systems to Aequitas Commercial Finance, an affiliate of Aequitas Capital, for $0.3 million. There were no sales to this company in 2008.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect our business, including without limitation, the disclosures made under “Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included in Part II of this report and in our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, previously filed with the SEC.
Overview
Business
We are an IP communications company, offering a range of communications solutions from hosted IP voice and conferencing products, to text and data collaboration, to telepresence videoconferencing products.
Our subsidiary, AccessLine, Inc., provides customers with a range of business phone services and applications. At the core of AccessLine's business phone services are their software components, all of which are developed internally and loaded on standard commercial grade servers. AccessLine's phone service can be delivered with a variety of hosted features configured to meet the application needs of the customer. By delivering business phone service to the market in this manner, AccessLine offers flexibility to customers and can serve a variety of business sizes.
AccessLine offers two business dialtone products: SmartVoiceTM and Digital Phone Service. SmartVoiceTM replaces a customer's existing telephone lines with a VoIP alternative, but allows the customer to keep using its current phone equipment. This product is targeted at the mid-size business market. The customer has the ability to select the number of office locations, number of phone lines and types of phone numbers. Digital Phone Service is a combined package of a digital phone system and accompanying service, geared for small companies with 20 or fewer employees at a single location. The customer selects how many phone lines and how many stations, and selects optional features such as Automated Attendant, conference calling or fax numbers. AccessLine then preconfigures the phone system to the customer’s specifications, and ships it directly to the customer.
In addition, AccessLine offers a host of other phone services, including, conferencing calling services, toll-free service plans, a virtual phone system with after hours answering service that routes calls based on specific business needs, find-me and follow-me services, a full featured voice mail system that instantly contacts a customer via an email or cell phone text message the moment such customer receives a new voice mail or fax, and the ability to manage faxes from virtually anywhere.
Through our Digital PresenceTM product line we provide our customers with a complete system for telepresence video conferencing. The core of our system is our software components—video and audio encoder and decoders, call signaling and bandwidth management—all of which are developed internally and pre-loaded on a standard Linux server. Our telepresence solutions are based on next generation IP standards. A Digital PresenceTM system also includes the monitors, cameras and audio components to optimize the user experience, as well as the equipment necessary to enable a "hotspot" in the conference room for the wireless operation of the system controls and data-sharing. Our systems can be matched with a wide range of off-the-shelf monitors, cameras and audio components to meet certain room configuration or performance requirements. Our channel partners and our subsidiary, AVS, act as the system integrators to design, build-out and install the complete telepresence system including components and peripheral equipment to meet the application needs of the customer. By delivering Digital Presence™ to the market in this manner, we offer flexibility to customers and can support conference rooms for both small and large audiences.
History
We were a development stage company through 2005 working on our Digital PresenceTM product line. We completed the development of our initial telepresence solution and commenced sales of that product in 2005. In 2006 we focused our business efforts on developing our channel partner relationships and we secured our first significant telepresence customer accounts. In April 2007, we acquired AVS, which at the time was one of our channel partners who distributed our telepresence systems and related solutions in New York, New Jersey and nearby regions of the United States. With this acquisition, we expanded our business to provide integration, consultation and implementation solutions for customers desiring telepresence and audio-visual systems and products. We entered the VOIP voice and network services market in September 2007, with our acquisition of AccessLine, Inc.
Recent Developments
Currently, our overriding objective is to achieve operating profitability. To that end, during the second and third quarters of our current fiscal year, we undertook substantial initiatives to increase sales, increase market share with new product offerings, reduce operating expenses, secure additional working capital, and recapitalize our short term debt. These initiatives included the following:
· | Retained former Accord Networks executive to manage telepresence sales and distribution and added three veteran telepresence sales leaders to our sales team |
· | Launched a new upgrade program, dubbed “Represence,” to layer full telepresence functionality into existing video conferencing rooms regardless of existing hardware solutions |
· | Partnered with Costco Wholesale® (a national and international operator of membership warehouses) to provide new Digital Phone and service to small office/home office (SOHO) customers |
· | Established Anew Communication Technology as telepresence distributor in 12 western states |
· | Consolidated business units and reduced operating expenses |
· | Secured $4.8 million of additional working capital through two financings in March 2008 and August 2008. |
· | Restructured short term debt and preferred stock to six year interest only convertible debenture. |
Business Developments
Mr. J.D. Vaughn, a senior telepresence industry executive, joined us recently as our Vice President of Worldwide Video Sales. Prior to joining us, Mr. Vaughn served in leadership roles at companies including Accord Networks, Polycom, AT&T, and PictureTel. Also recently joining our video sales team were Brice Drogosch, Steve Parrish and Linda Bickelman, each of whom previously worked with Mr. Vaughn at Accord Networks.
Mr. Drogosch, our Western Region Vice President of Video Sales, has more than 18 years of industry experience, and previously served as Vice President of Sales at Radvision and was a Sales Director responsible for Western Region Sales at Accord Networks and Polycom.
Mr. Parrish, our Eastern Region Vice President of Video Sales, has more than 20 years of industry experience, and previously held positions as Vice President for Channels for Polycom and as Regional Vice President for Accord Networks and ViewTech that is now WireOne.
Ms. Bickelman, our Director of Channel Development—Video, has actively supported videoconferencing channels for over 18 years. She began her career at Rolm and was instrumental in helping build and support channels at PictureTel, Viewcast, Accord Networks, Trapeze Networks and Polycom.
In September 2008, we launched a new upgrade program to layer full telepresence functionality into existing video conferencing rooms regardless of existing hardware solution. Dubbed "Represence", the program includes HD telepresence codecs, dual monitor support, five-way multi-point with continuous presence, one button touch panel control and can be upgraded to include the multipoint immersive gateway (MIG) which allows interoperability to legacy video conferencing systems. The program will extend the life expectancy and reduce the overall expense for a company wishing to deploy full telepresence solutions to replace narrower bandwidth videoconferencing systems in integrated meeting rooms. Represence allows companies to extend and upgrade their videoconferencing rooms without investing another $300,000.
In September 2008, we appointed Douglas N. Johnson, our chief executive officer, as chairman of our board of directors. Mr. Johnson succeeded Thomas A. Szabo in this role, who resigned from our board of directors on September 5, 2008.
During the second quarter of our current fiscal year, we partnered with Costco Wholesale®, a national and international operator of membership warehouses, to launch a new VOIP product. Under this arrangement we are offering a combined business phone service and business phone system package to Costco's Membership, targeted at members running small businesses with five or fewer employees. This segment represents over 60% of all registered businesses in the U.S. To simplify the purchase process for Costco Members, AccessLine Digital Phone Service is a complete package; it comes with a cutting-edge phone system, complete with all necessary phones, bundled with the phone service itself. The package is packed with features that make the whole purchase and installation process easy for the Costco business member, such as an equipment installment purchase plan rather than a large upfront charge, one point of contact rather than dealing with a service provider and an equipment provider, plug and play installation, and service quality monitoring.
Also during the second quarter, we entered into an agreement with Anew Communications Technology, Inc., a sales and marketing manufacturer representative firm concentrating on the Commercial Audio Visual Market and Digital Signage Applications. Under the terms of the agreement, Anew will provide sales representation for our telepresence video products in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Idaho and Alaska.
We are aggressively evaluating and reducing our operating expenses at all levels of the organization. We've consolidated certain of our business units and reduced headcount throughout our organization, including executive and mid level management. We incurred $1.8 million in severance and termination expenses during the second quarter associated with these reductions.
Financing Developments
In August 2008, we sold senior secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million, along with a warrant to purchase 608,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to us of $2.0 million. See "Recent Financings," below.
In June 2008, we restructured all $10.8 million of our outstanding convertible promissory notes and all $15.3 million of our preferred stock into six year, interest only, non-amortizing debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $26.1 million. The restructure significantly lowers debt service requirements for the next six years, by extending the term for payment, securing a fixed interest rate, and removing the ratchet provision for monthly payments made in common stock. See "Recent Financings," below.
In March 2008, we completed a convertible debenture financing transaction that resulted in net proceeds to us of $2.8 million.
Critical Accounting Policies Involving Management Estimates and Assumptions
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts; valuation of inventories; valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment; valuation of stock based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R), the valuation of warrants and conversion features; and other contingencies. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates 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 value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following is a discussion of certain of the accounting policies that require management to make estimates and assumptions.
Inventories:
Inventories, which consist primarily of finished goods, are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost computed on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. The Company records write downs for excess and obsolete inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated fair value based upon assumptions about future product life-cycles, product demand and market conditions.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are two to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Disposals of capital equipment are recorded by removing the costs and accumulated depreciation from the accounts and gains or losses on disposals are included in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Goodwill:
Goodwill is not amortized but is regularly reviewed for potential impairment. The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment, which primarily incorporate management assumptions about expected future cash flows. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in industry or market conditions or the rate and extent to which anticipated synergies or cost savings are realized with newly acquired entities.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:
Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from five to ten years. Purchased intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Revenue Recognition:
Video Solutions Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has transferred, product payment is not contingent upon performance of installation or service obligations, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product or service is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Additionally, the Company recognizes extended service revenue on our hardware and software products ratably over the service period, generally one year.
The Company’s telepresence products are integrated with software that is essential to the functionality of the equipment. Additionally, the Company provides unspecified software upgrades and enhancements related to most of these products through maintenance contracts. Accordingly, the Company accounts for revenue for these products in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and all related interpretations.
The Company generally recognizes revenue generated by AVS for integration, consultation and implementation solutions on a percentage completion basis based on direct labor costs in accordance with SOP No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts.
Voice and Network Solutions Revenue
Voice and network revenues are derived primarily from monthly recurring fees, which are recognized over the month the service is provided, activation fees, which are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the customer relationship, and fees from usage which are recognized as the service is provided.
Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when, based on available objective evidence, it is more likely than not that the benefit of such assets will not be realized.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This interpretation requires the Company to recognize in the consolidated financial statements only those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of being sustained.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. When the convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount.
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
Stock Based Compensation:
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payments”, which requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.
Limited Operating History
We have limited historical financial information upon which to base an evaluation of our future performance. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our business. We are subject to risks inherent to a company in our stage of development, including limited capital resources, possible delays in product development and manufacturing, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases. There is no assurance that future financing will be available to our company on acceptable terms. Additional equity financing will likely result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $8.5 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 276%, over the same period in 2007. Net revenues in our Video Solutions segment increased $0.5 million. Net revenues in our Voice and Network Solutions segment increased $5.8 million. The increase in Voice and Network Solutions revenue is attributable to the fact that we acquired AccessLine on September 14, 2007 and its results are included in our results of operations only from the date of acquisition, or approximately half of a month for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to all three months for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, two customers accounted for 23% of our Video Solutions segment net revenues, and one customer accounted for 14% of our Voice and Network Solutions segment net revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, three customers accounted for 61% of our Video Solutions segment net revenues.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $4.0 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 128%, over the same period in 2007. Cost of revenues in our Video Solutions segment decreased by less than $0.1 million due primarily to an improved mix of product and services sold. Cost of revenues in our Voice and Network Solutions segment increased $2.3 million consistent with the increase in revenues attributable to the operation of our Accessline subsidiary for a full quarter.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $4.5 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 760%, over the same period in 2007. Gross profit in our Video Solutions segment increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of increased margin on product sales during the period. Gross profit in our Voice and Network Solutions segment increased $3.5 million consistent with the increase in revenues attributable to the operation of our Accessline subsidiary for a full quarter.
Gross profit percentage was 53.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 23.33% in the same period in 2007. Gross profit percentage for our Video Solutions segment was 29.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to nil in the same period in 2007, and the increase is a result of a more profitable mix of products sold. Gross profit percentage for our Voice and Network Solutions segment was 59.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 51.10% in the same period in 2007, and the increase is a result of improved purchasing power from network infrastructure providers allowing us to purchase network access at lower rates.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $4.4 million, an increase of $2.5 million or 130%, over the same period in 2007. More than 95%, or $2.4 million, of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was a result of the expenses associated with operations brought to us through our acquisition of AccessLine in September 2007.
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses
Research, development and engineering expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $1.3 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 168%, over the same period in 2007. Research, development and engineering expenses increased as a result of our acquisition of AccessLine in September 2007.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.2 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 71%, over the same period in 2007. We acquired fixed assets valued at $5.1 million in our acquisition of AccessLine in September 2007, and depreciation expense increased primarily as a result of recording depreciation expense on those assets.
Amortization of Purchased Intangibles
We recorded $0.6 million of amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 related to the intangible assets acquired in the AVS and AccessLine acquisition transactions.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.5 million, a decrease of $1.6 million or 52%, from the same period in 2007. Interest expense includes stated interest, amortization of note discounts, amortization of deferred financing costs, and interest on capital leases. Interest expense decreased in 2008 primarily as a result of the lower discount amortization, resulting from the extension of the terms of our debentures from two years to six years that occurred in June 2008, and which is discussed in more detail below.
The debentures we issued in December 2006 and February 2007 had an original face value aggregating $5.2 million. The debentures we issued in August 2007 had an original face value aggregating $8.0 million. The debentures we issued in March 2008 had an original face value aggregating $3.4 million. Each of these debentures had a two year term. The interest rate on such debentures was 6%, and we recorded discounts to the debentures for the beneficial conversion feature and for the value of the warrants granted in connection with those debentures. We also recorded deferred financing costs related to the private placements in which such debentures were issued.
On June 30, 2008, we exchanged the outstanding debentures we issued in December 2006, August 2007 and March 2008 for new debentures with an aggregate face value of $26.1 million that bear interest at 12% and have a six year term. We recorded deferred financing costs of $0.2 million related to the issuance of the new debentures. The unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs at June 30, 2008 related to the financing transactions in December 2006, August 2007 and March 2008 will be amortized to interest expense in future periods over the term of the newly issued debentures, or through June 30, 2014.
On August 13, 2008, we issued a new debenture with a face value of $2.0 million that bears interest at 12%. We recorded discounts aggregating to $1.3 million which will be amortized to interest expense in future periods over the term of the debenture, or through June 30, 2014.
Assuming the aggregate debenture balance of $28.2 million is not prepaid before maturity and interest payments are made in cash, subsequent to September 30, 2008, we anticipate paying an additional $19.8 million in interest expense on these debentures through maturity in June 2014. In lieu of making such interest payments in cash, we have the option of paying the interest in shares of our common stock, subject to, among other things, meeting certain equity conditions, including having a certain volume of trading in our common stock. We can also force the holders of these debentures to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock subject to compliance with certain equity conditions and subject to the applicable cap on the beneficial ownership of our shares of common stock by the holder and its affiliates following such conversion contained in the debenture being converted. See "Recent Financings," below.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant and Beneficial Conversion Liabilities
Pursuant to SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock”, we recorded the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with our financings in December 2006, February 2007, August 2007, March 2008 and August 2008 at the issuance dates as a warrant liability because the exercise price of the warrants can be adjusted if we subsequently issue common stock at a lower price and it is possible for us to not have enough authorized shares to settle the warrants and therefore would have to settle the warrants with cash.
The fair value of the then outstanding warrants was estimated at December 31, 2007 and again at each subsequent reporting date. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded non-operating income of $1.5 million in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the decrease in the fair values of the warrants, which is primarily attributable to the decrease in the market price of our common stock.
At December 31, 2007 and again at each subsequent reporting date, we assessed the then outstanding convertible debentures under SFAS No. 133, and we determined that the beneficial conversion feature represented an embedded derivative liability. Accordingly, we bifurcated the embedded beneficial conversion feature and accounted for it as a derivative liability because the conversion price of the debentures could be adjusted if we subsequently issue common stock at a lower price and due to recent events it became possible that we could have to net cash settle the contract if there were not enough authorized shares to issue upon conversion.
The convertible debentures issued in December 2006, February 2007, August 2007 and March 2008 contained embedded derivative features which were accounted for at fair value as a compound embedded derivative up to June 30, 2008, the date we exchanged those debentures for debentures with a six year term and 12% interest rate, and at December 31, 2007. This compound embedded derivative included the following material features: (1) the standard conversion feature of the debentures; (2) a reset of the conversion price condition for subsequent equity sales; (3) our ability to pay interest in cash or shares of our common stock; (4) monthly redemption payments as per the debenture agreements; (5) optional redemption at our election; (6) forced conversion; (7) holder’s restriction on conversion; and (8) a default put.

We, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, calculated the fair value of the compound embedded derivative associated with the convertible debentures utilizing a complex, customized Monte Carlo simulation model suitable to value path dependant American options. The model uses the risk neutral methodology adapted to value corporate securities. This model utilized subjective and theoretical assumptions that can materially affect fair values from period to period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded non-operating income of $1.4 million in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the decrease in the fair market values of the embedded derivative features, which is primarily attributable to the decrease in the market price of our common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance as of September 30, 2008 was $1.4 million. At that time, we had accounts receivable of $2.8 million and a working capital deficit of $6.8 million, which includes warrant and beneficial conversion liabilities of $4.7 million.
Cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $4.0 million. This was primarily the result of a net loss of $2.8 million which was offset by the following non-cash charges: stock compensation expense of $2.5 million; amortization of note discounts of $2.6 million; amortization of intangible assets of $1.8 million; depreciation expense of $1.4 million (which includes depreciation expense of $0.7 million in cost of sales); stock issued for services of $0.5 million; non-cash severance payments of $0.4 million; and expenses related to warrant grants of $0.2 million. The change in fair value of warrant and beneficial conversion liabilities of $11.6 million decreased our cash used in operations.
Net cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.7 million, which consists of purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $2.3 million consisting of the following: (i) aggregate net proceeds from our March 2008 and August 2008 financings of $4.8 million, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $0.1 million; less (ii) payments we made of $1.2 million on our debentures, $1.0 million on our capital leases, and $0.5 million to pay off our line-of-credit balance. As of the date of this report, we have no line-of-credit facilities.
Since inception we have financed substantially all of our operating capital requirements from the sale of debt and equity securities. At September 30, 2008 we had outstanding debentures in the face amount of $28.2 million. See "Recent Financings" below. We do not have any credit facility or working capital line of credit available to us at this time. The debentures are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets. In addition, the debentures impose substantial restrictions on us, including restrictions that prohibit us from incurring additional indebtedness or granting additional liens in our assets.
Our revenues have increased substantially with the AccessLine acquisition, and the growth of our telepresence business. For the long term, we are looking for an increase in positive cash flow from operations, reducing our need for external capital.
We do not believe our cash reserves at September 30, 2008 are sufficient to maintain operations for the long term and we plan to raise additional capital by selling equity or debt securities. Any future financing may involve substantial dilution to existing investors. There are no commitments or arrangements for future financings in place at this time, and we can give no assurance that such capital will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If we are not able to obtain adequate financing, we will be forced to curtail our operations or possibly be forced to evaluate a sale or liquidation of our assets. Even if we are able to secure financing in the short term, we may need additional financing thereafter until we achieve profitability.
Going Concern
We remain dependent on outside sources of funding until our results of operations provide positive cash flows. As of December 31, 2007, our independent registered auditors concluded that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and this condition remains as of September 30, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we have been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support our operations and have been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors. We experienced negative financial results as follows:
| 2007 | | | 2006 | |
Net Loss | $ | (10,633,026 | ) | | $ | (3,119,056 | ) |
Negative cash flow from operating activities | | (5,582,487 | ) | | | (1,827,261 | ) |
Working capital deficit | | (13,585,737 | ) | | | (134,726 | ) |
Stockholders’ equity (deficit) | | 18,377,773 | | | | (1,130,778 | ) |
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.
We have supported current operations by raising additional operating cash through the private sale of our preferred stock and convertible debentures. This has provided us with the cash flows to continue our business plan, but have not resulted in significant improvement in our financial position. We are considering alternatives to address our cash situation that include: (1) raising capital through additional sale of our common stock and/or debentures and (2) reducing cash operating expenses to levels that are in line with current revenues.
The first alternative could result in substantial dilution of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that our current financial position can be improved, that we can raise additional working capital or that we can achieve positive cash flows from operations. Our long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to:
| • | locate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and near-term future requirements; and |
| • | achieve profitability and ultimately generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain our continuing operations. |
Recent Financings
August 2008 Financing
In August 2008, we entered into a debenture and warrant purchase agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which we issued a senior secured convertible debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million, along with a warrant to purchase 608,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
In this report we may refer to the debenture we issued in August 2008 as our August 2008 debenture. A summary of the terms of our August 2008 debenture is set forth below. Such summary is qualified by reference to a copy of the August 2008 debenture which is filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 14, 2008.
Term | Due and payable on June 30, 2014. |
Interest | Interest accrues at the rate of 12.0% per annum and is payable on the first of each month. |
Principal Payment | The principal amount, if not paid earlier, is due and payable on June 30, 2014. |
Interest Payments | We have the right to make interest payments in cash or, upon notice to the holders and compliance with certain equity conditions, we can pay all or a portion of any such payment in common stock valued at a price equal to the lesser of the then effective conversion price (currently $1.25) or 85% of the average of the VWAP per share for our common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable payment date. |
Early Redemption | We have the right to redeem the debenture before maturity by payment in cash of 120% of the then outstanding principal amount plus (i) accrued but unpaid interest, (ii) an amount equal to all interest that would have accrued if the principal amount subject to such redemption had remained outstanding through the maturity date and (iv) all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the debenture. To redeem the debenture we must meet certain equity conditions. The payment of the debenture would occur on the 10th day following the date we gave the holder notice of our intent to redeem the debenture. We agreed to honor any notices of conversion that we receive from a holder before the date we pay off the debenture. |
Voluntary Conversion by Holder | The debenture is convertible at anytime at the discretion of the holder at a conversion price per share of $1.25, subject to adjustment including full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection. |
Forced Conversion | Subject to compliance with certain equity conditions, we also have the right to force conversion if the VWAP for our common stock exceeds 200% of the then effective conversion price for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading day period. Any forced conversion is subject our meeting certain equity conditions and is subject to a 4.99% cap on the beneficial ownership of our shares of common stock by the holder and its affiliates following such conversion. |
Covenants | The debenture imposes certain covenants on us, including restrictions against incurring additional indebtedness, creating any liens on our property, amending our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, redeeming or paying dividends on shares of our outstanding common stock, and entering into certain related party transactions. The debenture defines certain events of default, including without limitation failure to make a payment obligation, failure to observe other covenants of the debenture or related agreements (subject to applicable cure periods), breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, default under another significant contract or credit obligation, delisting of our common stock, a change in control or failure to deliver share certificates in a timely manner. In the event of default, the debenture holder has the right to accelerate all amounts outstanding under the debenture and demand payment of a mandatory default amount equal to 130% of the amount outstanding plus accrued interest and expenses. |
Security | The debenture is secured by all of our assets under the terms of the amended and restated security agreement we and our subsidiaries entered into with the investor in connection with the June 2008 financing discussed below. Each of our subsidiaries also gave guarantees, pursuant to which each subsidiary guaranteed the complete payment and performance by us of our obligations under the debenture and related agreements. |
June 2008 Financing
On June 30, 2008, we entered into a securities exchange agreement with the holders of all of our then outstanding debentures and shares of preferred stock, pursuant to which we issued six-year, interest only debentures due June 30, 2014, in exchange for all of our then currently outstanding debentures and shares of preferred stock. The debentures issued amend and restate the terms of the previously outstanding debentures held by the investors.
The terms of the debentures we issued in June 2008, which we refer to as our June 2008 debentures, are substantially similar to the terms of our August 2008 debentures, a summary of which is set forth above. A copy of the June 2008 debentures is filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2008 and qualifies the summary of the terms of our June 2008 debentures set forth in this report.
In connection with the June 2008 transaction described above, the exercise price of all of the warrants to purchase shares of our common stock held by the investors was reduced to $1.00 per share.
Commitments and Contingencies
Debentures
As of September 30, 2008, the principal balance we owe on our outstanding debentures is $28.2 million, all of which is due June 30, 2014. Monthly interest payments of $0.3 million are payable the first of each month.
At any time, the holders of the debentures have the right to convert the debentures into common stock at the then effective conversion price (currently $1.25). We have the right to pay interest in cash, or upon notice to the holders and compliance with certain equity conditions, we can pay all or a portion of any such interest payment in common stock valued at a price equal to the lesser of the then effective conversion price (currently $1.25) or 85% of the average of the VWAP per share for our common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable payment date. One of the equity conditions we must meet is having a daily dollar trading volume for our common stock exceed $300,000 for each of the 20 consecutive trading days before the date in question. We do not currently meet this equity condition and it may prove difficult for us to meet it in the future. If we make interest payments in common stock or the holders voluntarily elect to convert all or a portion of the debentures into common stock, these actions could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.
If our cash flows from operations are not sufficient to make interest payments in cash, we will evaluate other equity financing opportunities, the proceeds of which could be used to repay the debentures. If we are unable to pay the interest in cash, or elect not to do so to preserve working capital, we will make the payments with our common stock pursuant to the terms of the agreements including a conversion price based on the lower of the then effective conversion price or 85% of the average of the VWAP per share of our common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable payment date. Making interest payments with our common stock requires that we meet certain equity conditions, one of which is having a daily dollar trading volume for our common stock exceed $300,000 for each of the 20 consecutive trading days before the date in question. We currently do not meet this equity condition and will need the investors to waive this equity condition if we are going to make an interest payment with stock. The investors are not required to waive this equity condition, and may require us to pay additional consideration in order to secure their waiver.
If we are unable to make payments, whether in cash or stock, due on our outstanding debentures, we would be in default under those securities. The holders of our debentures would be entitled to demand that all amounts due thereunder be immediately paid in cash, and the holders would have the right to demand that we pay 130% of the outstanding principal amount and the interest rate accrues at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In addition, the holders would have the right to foreclose on all of our assets pursuant to the terms of the security agreement we entered into with such holders and they would have the right to take possession of our assets and operate our business.
Capital Leases
We have non-cancelable operating and capital leases for corporate facilities and equipment.
Future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable operating and capital leases are as follows for the years ending December 31,:
| | Operating Leases | | | Capital Leases | |
2008 | | $ | 415,606 | | | $ | 369,894 | |
2009 | | | 1,185,667 | | | | 1,071,672 | |

2011 | | | 1,218,197 | | | | 273,147 | |
2012 | | | 1,223,261 | | | | 36,250 | |
Thereafter | | | 184,920 | | | | — | |
Total minimum lease payments | | $ | 5,438,964 | | | $ | 2,357,921 | |

Less current portion | | | | | | | (993,618 | ) |
| | | | | | $ | 1,026,582 | |
Minimum Third Party Network Service Provider Commitments
We have a contract with a third party network service provider that facilitates interconnects with a number of 3rd party network service providers. The contract contains a minimum usage guarantee of $0.2 million per monthly billing cycle. The contract commenced in October 2003 and was extended in October 2008 for a 36 month term. The contract can be terminated by delivery of written notice of cancellation 90 days prior to the expiration of the extended term.
Litigation
In January 2008, we issued 72,000 shares of our common stock valued at $0.2 million in settlement of compensation claims made by a former sales representative. The settlement amount was accrued at December 31, 2007, and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. Under the terms of the settlement, we were required to issue additional shares of our common stock if the price of our common stock declined during the six month period subsequent to the date of the settlement. In July 2008, because the price of our common stock so declined, we issued an additional 60,000 shares of our common stock. The 60,000 shares we issued, valued at less than $0.1 million, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
On August 5, 2005, the FCC unanimously adopted an order requiring VoIP providers to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA. CALEA requires covered providers to assist law enforcement agencies in conducting lawfully authorized electronic surveillance. Under the FCC order, all VoIP providers were to become fully CALEA compliant by May 14, 2007. AccessLine engaged a third party to help it develop a solution to be CALEA compliant. In February 2007, AccessLine notified the FCC that it did not expect to have a CALEA compliant solution completed by May 14, 2007, but that it instead expected to have the development complete by September 1, 2007. AccessLine’s formal CALEA compliance testing with the third party was completed on September 28, 2007. Currently, AccessLine’s CALEA solution is fully deployed in its network. However, AccessLine could be subject to an enforcement action by the FCC or law enforcement agencies for any delays related to meeting, or if AccessLine fails to comply with, any current or future CALEA obligations.
Sales and Additional Taxes.
Based upon a new Internal Revenue Service ruling, AccessLine ceased collecting federal excise tax on August 1, 2006 on long-distance or bundled services. AccessLine has not collected or accrued liabilities for E911 taxes for VoIP services prior to July 1, 2006, and it is possible that substantial claims for back taxes may be asserted against AccessLine. Also, AccessLine is currently working to obtain Inter Exchange Carrier (IXC) certification in Alaska, Maryland and Mississippi. AccessLine’s current certification status in these three states may leave it liable for fees and penalties that could decrease its ability to compete with traditional telephone companies. In addition, future expansion of AccessLine’s service, along with other aspects of its evolving business, may result in additional sales and other tax obligations. One or more taxing authorities may seek to impose sales, use or other tax collection obligations on AccessLine. AccessLine has received inquiries or demands from numerous state authorities and may be subjected to audit at any time. A successful assertion by one or more taxing authorities that AccessLine should collect sales, use or other taxes on the sale of AccessLine’s services could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales.
Other
In connection with our acquisition of AccessLine, we may be required to pay up to an additional $9.0 million in the form of 2,500,000 shares of our restricted common stock upon the achievement of pre determined revenue and gross margin targets. The earn out is payable in up to 625,000 shares of our common stock at the end of each six month period ending December 31, 2007, June 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, based on AccessLine’s achievement of targeted revenue and gross profit targets for those periods. The first earn out period ended December 31, 2007. In April 2008, when the contingency related to the first earn out period was resolved, we issued 599,130 shares valued at $0.6 million, resulting in increases to goodwill and equity. The second earn out period ended June 30, 2008, and we issued 529,252 shares valued at $0.3 million in July 2008 when the contingency was resolved. The increase in goodwill and equity was recorded in our third fiscal quarter of 2008. There are two additional earn out periods, terminating on December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009. We may be required to issue up to an additional 1,250,000 shares of our common stock upon AccessLine's achievement of the future financial objectives associated with those periods.
Other Matters Relating to Future Amortizable Charges
As of September 30, 2008, we have $9.6 million of debt discount and $0.7 million of deferred financing costs included in our balance sheet, which will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related debentures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see “Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of Part I of this report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Intentionally omitted pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2008, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2008 for the reasons discussed below related to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Identified Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management identified the following internal control deficiencies during its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008:
| 1. | We did not have formal policies governing certain accounting transactions and financial reporting processes in the following areas: |
| | • | Check signing policy; |
| | • | Insider trading policy; |
| | • | Purchasing approval policy; |
| | • | Human resources policies; and |
| | • | Fixed assets policies. |
| 2. | We did not obtain prescribed attestations by all employees and members of our board of directors regarding their compliance with our code of ethics or their understanding of and compliance with our policies related to their employment. |
| 3. | We did not perform adequate oversight of certain accounting functions and maintained inadequate documentation of management review and approval of accounting transactions and financial reporting processes in the following areas: |
| | • | Revenue recognition; |
| | • | Stock compensation; and |
| | • | Warrant transaction valuations. |
| 4. | We did not have a record retention policy for retention of hard copy documents. Cases of inadequate records retention or supporting documentation were noted in the accounting department and impacted our ability to support and account for transactions. |
In conclusion, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
We are in the process of evaluating our material weaknesses.
In an effort to remediate the material weaknesses and other deficiencies that we have already identified, and to enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
| 1. | Consolidating all accounting functions to our Headquarters in Bellevue and moving to one uniform accounting software platform. These changes will address the identified material weaknesses reported in our 2007 annual report on form 10-KSB; |
| 2. | Establish comprehensive formal general accounting policies and procedures and require employees to sign off such policies and procedures as documentation of their understanding of and compliance with company policies; |
| 3. | Require all employees and directors to sign our code of ethics on an annual basis; |
| 4. | Implement appropriate management oversight and approval activities in the areas of vendor bill payments, employee expense reimbursements, customer invoicing, and period-end closing processes; and |
| 5. | Establish a records retention policy that outlines the requirements and procedures for retaining the appropriate supporting documentation for financial transactions and plan to implement procedures designed to verify compliance with the related policy. |
We are currently implementing the above five initiatives, and to date we have implemented a check signing policy, insider trading policy, purchasing approval policy, human resources policies, fixed asset policies and code of ethics. We plan to test our updated controls and remediate our material weaknesses by December 31, 2008.
Conclusion
The above identified material weaknesses resulted in material audit adjustments to our 2007 financial statements. If the identified material weaknesses are not remediated, one or more of the identified material weaknesses noted above could result in a material misstatement in our reported financial statements in a future interim or annual period.
In light of the identified material weaknesses, management performed (1) significant additional substantive review of those areas described above, and (2) additional analyses, including but not limited to a detailed balance sheet and statement of operations analytical review that compared changes from the prior period's financial statements and analyzed all significant differences. These procedures were completed so management could gain assurance that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we implemented the following change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act: we consolidated all accounting functions to our headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, utilizing one uniform accounting software platform.
| PART II – OTHER INFORMATION |
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, including claims of alleged infringement, misuse or misappropriation of intellectual property rights of third parties. As of the date of this report, we are not a party to any litigation which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business operations or financial condition.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in "Part I. Item 1—Description of Business—Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results and future prospects. As of the date of this report, other than the risk factors set forth below, we do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Substantially all of our debentures are held by a single investor, and that investor will be able to control any waivers or amendments to the terms of our debentures and exercise rights and remedies with respect to substantially all of our debentures.
On October 31, 2008, one investor acquired certain of our debentures and warrants that had been held by other investors. As a result of that acquisition, that one investor, and its affiliates, now holds over 95% of the principal amount of our outstanding debentures. Among other things, the debentures carry covenants that impose significant restrictions on us and the debentures require us to make payments of interest on a monthly basis. If we fail to comply with our covenants under the debentures or if we are unable to make payments under debentures when required, we would be in breach or default under the debentures. See the risk factors entitled "We have significant indebtedness and agreed to certain restrictions as a result of our recent private placement of debentures," and "Our failure to repay the debentures could result in substantial penalties against us, and legal action which could substantially impair our operations." Under the terms of the debentures, certain amendments or waivers must be approved by the holders of at least 90% of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures. By virtue of its recent acquisition, the one significant investor, and its affiliates, will have sole authority to approve or not approve any amendment to the debentures or waiver of a breach or default under the debentures. In addition, the one significant investor, and its affiliates, without regard to the position or desires of other holders, will have the sole authority to exercise any rights or remedies available to it under the terms of the debentures that would affect substantial all of our outstanding debentures.
We have a limited operating history, have experienced significant expenditures related to funding our initial product development, and are currently carrying a net loss. If our business model is not successful, or if we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to offset our start-up expenditures, we may not become profitable, and the value of your investment may decline.
We have a limited operating history from which to evaluate our business and prospects. We incurred a net loss of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. We have an accumulated deficit of $25.4 million at September 30, 2008. Furthermore, we are experiencing the initial costs and uncertainties of a young operating company, including start-up expenditures, unforeseen costs and difficulties, complications, and delays, all of which must be resolved and/or paid without the benefit of a predictable revenue stream. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in meeting these challenges and addressing these risks and uncertainties. If we are unable to do so, our business will not be successful.
The sale of the shares of our common stock acquired in private placements could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
In our June 2008 and August 2008 private placements, in the aggregate, we issued a total of $28.1 million principal amount of debentures convertible into our shares of common stock at a current conversion price of $1.25 per share. As of September 30, 2008, we had warrants outstanding to purchase 12,239,718 shares of our common stock. In connection with our acquisition of AccessLine, we issued 3,939,565 shares of our common stock at the time of the closing of the acquisition, an additional 1,128,382 in the aggregate in connection with the earn out periods ended December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, and may issue up to an additional 1,250,000 shares in connection with the earn out periods ending December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009. Generally, the holders of the securities convertible or exercisable into our common stock will be able to sell the common stock issued upon conversion or exercise under Rule 144. As such, you should expect a significant number of such shares of common stock to be sold. Depending upon market liquidity at the time our common stock is resold by the holders thereof, such re-sales could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. In addition, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
We have significant indebtedness and agreed to certain restrictions as a result of our recent private placement of debentures.
We incurred $28.1 million in principal amount of indebtedness as a result of the issuance of the debentures in our June 2008 and August 2008 private placements, the principal balance of which is due June 30, 2014. The debentures carry covenants that impose significant restrictions on us, including restrictions against incurring additional indebtedness, creating any liens on our property, amending our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, redeeming or paying dividends on shares of our outstanding common stock, and entering into certain related party transactions. The debentures also carry substantial covenants that impose significant requirements on us, including, among others, requirements that:
· | we pay interest and other charges on the debentures; |
· | we use the proceeds from the sale of the debentures only for permitted purposes; |
· | while the debentures are outstanding, if we issue equity or equity linked securities at a price lower than the conversion price of the debentures, then the conversion price of the debentures will be reduced to the same price of the equity or equity linked securities so issued; and |
· | we may not, directly or indirectly, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any capital stock or set aside any monies for such redemption, purchase or other acquisition. |
Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by changes in our business condition or results of our operations, or other events beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the debentures, permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity of the debentures and demand repayment in full. Such actions by such holders could impair our ability to operate or cause us to seek bankruptcy protection.
Our failure to repay the debentures could result in substantial penalties against us, and legal action which could substantially impair our operations.
Our outstanding debentures accrue interest at the rate of 12.0% per annum, payable on the first of each month. We have the right to pay interest payments in cash, or upon notice to the holders and compliance with certain equity conditions, we can pay all or a portion of any such payment in common stock valued at a price equal to the lesser of the then effective conversion price (initially $1.25) or 85% of the average of the VWAP per share for our common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable payment date. One of the equity conditions we must meet is having a daily dollar trading volume for our common stock exceed $300,000 for each of the 20 consecutive trading days before the date in question. We do not currently meet this equity condition and it may prove difficult for us to meet it in the future. If we make interest payments in common stock or the holders voluntarily elect to convert all or a portion of the debentures into common stock, these actions could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. To repay the debentures in cash, we will be required to use our limited working capital or raise additional funds. If we are unable to make payments under debentures when required, either in cash or in common stock, we would be in default under those securities, certain consequences of which are discussed below. In addition, the holders would have the right to foreclose on all of our assets pursuant to the terms of the security agreement we entered into with such holders and they would have the right to take possession of our assets and operate our business. Any such action could impose significant costs on us and require us to curtail or cease operations.
The debentures define certain events of default, including without limitation failure to make a payment obligation, failure to observe other covenants of the debenture or related agreements (subject to applicable cure periods), breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, default under another significant contract or credit obligation, delisting of our common stock, a change in control, or failure to deliver share certificates in a timely manner. In the event of default, which is not cured within specified grace periods, the holders of the debentures have the right to accelerate all amounts outstanding under the debentures and demand payment of a mandatory default amount equal to 130% of the amount outstanding under the debenture, plus accrued interest and expenses, and the interest rate accrues at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. If we were unable to repay the mandatory default amount when required, the holders could commence legal action against us. Any such action could impose significant costs on us and require us to curtail or cease operations.
If we pay interest on the debentures in shares of common stock when our stock price is low, the holders thereof have the ability to negatively affect our stock price and to create a greater dilution to our stockholders.
Upon notice to the holders and compliance with certain equity conditions, we can pay all or a portion of any interest payment on our debentures in common stock valued at a price equal to the lesser of the then effective conversion price (initially $1.25) or 85% of the average of the VWAP per share for our common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable payment date. One of the equity conditions we must meet is having a daily dollar trading volume for our common stock exceed $300,000 for each of the 20 consecutive trading days before the date in question. We do not currently meet this equity condition and it may prove difficult for us to meet it in the future. To the extent that we pay interest in common stock during a period when our common stock price is low (which we have done in the past), such investor will receive a larger number of shares of our common stock as a result of the conversion, which such investor could sell at high volumes to drive the VWAP downward. Downward pressure on the price of our common stock from consecutive conversions could result in the investors receiving payment on the debentures at successively lower conversion rates, thereby causing a successively greater dilution of our stockholders, and causing a downward spiraling affect on the price of our stock (a so-called "death spiral").
Our emergency and E911 calling services differ from those offered by traditional telephone service providers and may expose us to significant liability in the VoIP business.
Traditional telephone service providers route emergency calls over a dedicated infrastructure directly to an emergency services dispatcher in the caller's area. Generally, the dispatcher automatically receives the caller's phone number and location information. Our E911 service, where offered, operates in a similar manner. However, the only location information that our E911 service can transmit to an emergency service dispatcher is the information that our customers have registered with us. A customer's registered location may be different from the customer's actual location at the time of the call, and the customer, in those instances, would have to verbally inform the emergency services dispatcher of his or her actual location at the time of the call.
We do not currently offer E911 service in all areas where our customers are located. In some areas, emergency calls are delivered with the caller's address or callback number. In some cases calls may be delivered to a call center that is run by a third-party provider, and the call center operator will coordinate connecting the caller to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point or emergency services provider and providing the customer's service location and phone number to those local authorities. In late July 2008, the President signed into law the "New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act of 2008." The law provides public safety, interconnected VoIP providers and others involved in handling 911 calls the same liability protections when handling 911 calls from interconnected VoIP users as from mobile or wired telephone service users. We do not know what effect this law will have on our call center solution at this time. Also, we may be exposed to liability for 911 calls made prior to the adoption of this new law although we are unaware of any such liability.
Delays our customers encounter when making emergency services calls and any inability of the answering point to automatically recognize the caller's location or telephone number can result in life threatening consequences. In addition, if a customer experiences an Internet or power outage or network failure, the customer will not be able to reach an emergency services provider using our services. Customers may attempt to hold us responsible for any loss, damage, personal injury or death suffered as a result of any failure of our E911 services and, unlike traditional wireline and wireless telephone providers, there are no state or federal provisions that currently indemnify or limit our liability for connecting and carrying emergency 911 phone calls over IP networks.
