AIRBEE WIRELESS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 —ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-QSB and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.
These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Airbee Wireless, Inc. (“Airbee” or the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware in 2002 to develop and supply cutting edge intelligent software that is generally embedded into microprocessors thereby allowing manufacturers (OEM’s) of various products to create advanced wireless communications systems.
On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger by and with Identity, Inc. (“Identity”), a Delaware corporation, and Airbee Automotive Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, whereby the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into Identity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the surviving entity became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Identity is a leading distributor of automotive anti-theft devices to America’s 22,000 new car dealerships. Using advanced short-range wireless technology, Identity’s products provide total immobilization of a vehicle’s ignition system to prevent theft. Identity’s current nationwide customer base includes dealerships representing General Motors, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, Dodge, Saturn Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity Honda, Acura, Suzuki, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai and Kia.
8
There are contingent payments in the form of time-based royalties tied to product sales that are to be paid to a patent holder for licensing its technology that is embedded inside Airbee Automotive Group’s principal automotive anti-theft device.
The book value of $462,921 of Identity, Inc. at the time of acquisition consisted of:
| | | | |
Current assets | | | 741,225 | |
Fixed assets | | | 12,219 | |
Accounts payable and other accrued expenses | | | (290,523 | ) |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Total | | | 462,921 | |
| | | | |
Focusing on its core competencies in the design and engineering of advanced, embedded short-range wireless data and voice communications software, the Company believes that it is positioned to play a pivotal role in the convergence of various wireless communications applications through software embedded on silicon and in niche applications for its software, namely automotive immobilization and anti-theft products.
NOTE 2 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Liquidity
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets, continued success in accessing supplemental external financing, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $4.44 million as of June 30, 2005. The Company’s operations have been financed primarily through a combination of issued equity and debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company had a net loss of approximately $1.63 million and cash used in operations of approximately $846,000.
The Company regularly evaluates its working capital needs and existing burn rate to make appropriate adjustments to operating expenses. On April 26, 2005, the Company executed a promissory note in the amount of $750,000 in favor of Montgomery Equity Partners, Ltd. Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, Montgomery Equity Partners disbursed the entire $750,000 to the Company upon the date the note was executed and an additional $250,000 will be disbursed to the Company after the Company’s common stock commences trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board market. The promissory note is secured by all of the
9
assets of the Company plus shares of stock of an affiliate of the Company. It has a one-year term and accrues interest at 24% per year. Depending on future working capital needs, the Company may from time to time avail itself of a $20 million standby equity distribution agreement from Cornell Capital Partners LP secured on April 26, 2005.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Airbee Wireless, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Airbee” or the “Company”) Airbee Wireless (Pte.) Ltd., located in Singapore, and Airbee Wireless (India) Pvt. Ltd., located in India, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. The condensed consolidated financial statements also include Airbee Automotive Group, Inc., formed upon the merger with Identity, Inc. on May 2, 2005 for the two months ended June 30, 2005. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been re-measured using the U.S. Dollar as the functional currency.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions in the United States of America, Singapore and India. The financial institution in the United States of America is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets; two to four years for machinery and equipment and four to forty years for buildings. Reviews are regularly performed to determine whether facts and circumstances exist that indicate carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated. The Company assesses the recoverability of its
10
fixed assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If assets are determined to be recoverable, but the useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book value of the assets is depreciated over the newly determined remaining useful lives. When fixed assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in operations.
Intangible Assets
Intellectual property assets represent technology and are amortized over the periods of benefit, ranging from two to sixteen years, generally on a straight-line basis.
Identified intangible assets are regularly reviewed to determine whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its identifiable intangible assets by comparing the projected discounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.
Intellectual Property
Costs incurred in creating products are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Thereafter, all software production costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.
In accordance with SFAS No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”, SFAS No. 68, (“Research and Development Arrangements”), and SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”, technological feasibility for the Airbee UltraLite™ was established on November 20, 2002 with completion of the detailed program design. Several working models were delivered at various points through July of 2003.
Trademarks and patents are regularly reviewed to determine whether the facts and circumstances exist to indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The
11
Company assesses the recoverability of its trademarks and patents by comparing the projected discounted net cash flows associated with the related asset, over their remaining lives, in comparison to their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.
Intangible assets pertain to the Company’s intellectual property, more specifically software code for both IEEE 802.15.4 and the ZigBee standard version 1.0 and to the customer list, non-compete agreement, trademark and goodwill arising from the acquisition of Identity, Inc. on May 2, 2005.
The software serves as the core code (i.e., one of the key building blocks) for current and future products that must comply with both of these international standards. Hence, core software based upon the global standards of IEEE and ZigBee to enable the rest of our software to function has an undefined, but not necessarily infinite, useful life. Management, with the assistance of its technical staff, has determined that this specific intellectual property should be amortized beginning with the current financial period in accordance with SFAS No. 86. The status of that intellectual property is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company believes that at this point in time, impairment is impractical because (a) the IEEE 802.15 global standard was only finalized in October 2003; (b) the ZigBee global standard was only finalized on December 14, 2004; and (c) the Company’s software written in conformity with both global standards is vital to making the rest of its software function and therefore be in compliance with these global standards.
Segment Reporting
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making internal operating decisions. As of June 30, 2005, there were two operating segments: embedded wireless communications software and automotive anti-theft devices.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company currently recognizes revenues from five primary sources: (1) time-based product license fees, (2) time-based license royalties, (3) product revenues for software development tools and kits, (4) software service revenues and (5) product revenues for automotive anti-theft devices.
Licensing revenues (e.g., Airbee-ZNS™, Airbee-ZMAC™, and Airbee-ZNMS™) consist of revenues from licensing under the enterprise licensing model, of Airbee platforms, which include a combination of products and services, and items such as development tools, an operating system, various protocols and interfaces and
12
maintenance and support services, such as installation and training, which are licensed over a limited period of time, typically 12-36 months. Service revenues are derived from fees for professional services, which include design and development fees, software maintenance contracts, and customer training and consulting.
The Company accounts for the time-based licensing of software in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. For software arrangements with multiple elements, revenue is recognized dependent upon whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for each of the elements. When VSOE does not exist for all the elements of a software arrangement and the only undelivered element is post-contract customer support (PCS), the entire licensing fee is recognized ratably over the contract period.
Revenue attributable to undelivered elements, including technical support, is based on the sales price of those elements, and is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the time-based license. Post-contract customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in revenue and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales.
Time-based product licensing fees are collected in advance. Revenues from licenses are recognized on a prorated-basis over the life of the license. Airbee’s customary practice is to have non-cancelable time-based licenses and a customer purchase order prior to recognizing revenue.
Enterprise license model arrangements require the delivery of unspecified future updates and upgrades within the same product family during the time-based license. Accordingly, Airbee will recognize fees from its enterprise license model agreements ratably over the term of the license agreement.
Time-based royalties are charged on a unit basis. Royalties are not fixed dollar amounts, but are instead a percentage of the customer’s finished product and the percentage varies on a tiered basis with the number of units shipped by customer.
Revenue attributed to undelivered elements is based on the sales price rather than on the renewal rate for the following reasons:
Because of (i) the newness of the ZigBee standard for this short-range wireless technology, (ii) the newness of the Company’s product introductions into the marketplace for a range of applications being developed by its customers, and (iii)
13
the lack of historical data for potentially defective software, which may be a function of the application into which it is installed, a reasonable reserve for returns cannot yet be established. In accordance with SFAS No. 48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists,” in the absence of historical data, the Company is unable to make a reasonable and reliable estimate of product returns at this time.
The Company expects to enter into software maintenance contracts with its customers. Maintenance fees are not a fixed dollar amount, but rather a percentage fee based upon the value of the license and/or royalties billed/received. Maintenance contracts are paid for and collected at the beginning of the contract period. If the Company provides bug fixes (under warranty obligations) free-of-charge that are necessary to maintain compliance with published specifications, it accounts for the estimated costs to provide bug fixes in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies.”
Revenue from products licensed to original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) is based on the time-based licensing agreement with an OEM and recognized when the OEM ships licensed products to its customers.
Revenue from automotive anti-theft devices is recognized when a purchase order is received and the product is shipped. All sales are final with no right of return unless the product is proven to be defective. The OEM manufacturer of the product must replace, at its cost, all products found to be defective. Based upon historical data and a reasonable estimate of future returns, the Company has accrued for a loss contingency under SFAS No. 5 and SFAS No. 48.
The Company assesses probability of collection based on a number of factors, including its past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. New customers are subject to a credit review process that evaluates the customers’ financial position and ultimately its ability to pay according to the original terms of the arrangement. Based on this review process, if it is determined from the outset of an arrangement that collection of the resulting receivable is not probable, revenue is then recognized on a cash-collected basis.
Cost of revenue includes direct costs to produce and distribute products and direct costs to provide product support and training.
Accounts Receivable
The Company conducts business and extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the
14
circumstances. The Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,295 at June 30, 2005. Accounts receivable are generally due within thirty (30) days and collateral is not required.
Inventory
Inventory consists principally of finished goods. Inventory is valued at cost using the first in, first out (FIFO) method.
Prepaid Financing Costs
Prepaid financing costs were incurred in connection with the note payable to Montgomery Equity Partners, Ltd. (see discussion below in Note 6) and are amortized over the life of the note payable (12 months). Amortization expense for the 2 months ended June 30, 2005 is $12,500.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company developing its intellectual property. Research and development costs were expensed as incurred prior to the Company’s demonstration of technical feasibility in November 2004. Research and development costs incurred to produce a product master have been capitalized in accordance with Statement No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit is computed on the pretax loss based on current tax law. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and its financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. No benefit is reflected for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Advertising
The Company’s policy is to expense the costs of advertising and marketing as incurred. The Company had no such cost for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Historical net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share at
15
June 30, 2005 and 2004 when the Company reported a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented. The Company has incurred losses since inception as a result of funding its research and development, including the development of its intellectual property portfolio which is key to its core products.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2005 | | June 30, 2004 |
Net Loss | | | ($1,626,592 | ) | | | ($407,600 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (Basic) | | | 45,268,362 | | | | 41,073,219 | |
Weighted-average common stock | | | | | | | | |
Equivalents: | | | | | | | | |
Stock options | | | — | | | | — | |
Warrants | | | — | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (Diluted) | | | 45,268,362 | | | | 41,073,219 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported for notes payable approximates fair value because, in general, the interest on the underlying instruments fluctuates with market rates.
Stock-Based Compensation
Employee stock awards under the Company’s compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. The Company provides the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), and related interpretations. Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 123 and the Company adopted the enhanced disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment of SFAS No. 123.
The Company measures compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method. Under the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, when the exercise price of options
16
granted to employees is less than the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, deferred compensation is recognized and is amortized to compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $3,437, respectively.
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.
Product Warranty
The Company’s product warranty accrual includes specific accruals for known product issues and an accrual for an estimate of incurred but unidentified product issues based on historical activity. Due to effective product testing and the short time between product shipment and the detection and correction of product failures, the warranty accrual based on historical activity and the related expense were not significant as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.” It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recorded in the financial statements. The Company has recorded $3,344,270 of goodwill in connection with its acquisitions. The Company performs its annual impairment test for goodwill at fiscal year-end. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has determined that all goodwill associated with the acquisition of Connexus Technologies (Pte.) Ltd. was impaired in 2002 ($127,974).
The identifiable intangible assets presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represent the intellectual property that was capitalized post-
17
technological feasibility and the customer list, non-compete agreement and trademark in connection with the acquisition of Identity, Inc. Management will continue to monitor and assess any impairment charges against those assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Beginning with the second quarter of 2005, the Company began amortizing its intellectual property costs over a sixteen year period. The amortization amount for the current quarter is calculated based upon the ending balance of intellectual property from the preceding quarter. The amount amortized for the three months ended June 30, 2005 is $2,500.
The main components of intangible assets are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 |
| | Gross Carrying | | Accumulated |
| | Amount | | Amortization |
Intellectual Property | | | 327,759 | | | | 2,500 | |
Customer lists | | | 498,557 | | | | — | |
Non-compete agreement | | | 480,000 | | | | — | |
Trademark | | | 342,226 | | | | — | |
Goodwill | | | 3,216,296 | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total Goodwill and Intangible Assets | | | 4,864,838 | | | | 2,500 | |
The Company acquired its customer list with the acquisition of Identity on May 2, 2005. The Company continually monitors this list to determine whether any impairment has occurred. In making such determination with respect to these assets, the Company evaluates the performance, on an undiscounted cash flow basis, of the intangible assets or group of assets in accordance with FASB No. 142.
Should impairment be identified, a loss would be reported to the extent that the carrying value of the related intangible asset exceeds its fair value using the discounted cash flow method. The Company’s customer list is being amortized over a five-year period commencing July, 1, 2005.
The non-compete agreement is amortized over 2 years starting July 1, 2005. This pertains to a contractual agreement between the Company and the former owners of Identity, Inc., acquired by the Company on May 2, 2005.
Trademarks granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office have an indefinite life and are not amortized. We test annually for impairment.
18
Currency Risk and Foreign Currency Translation
The Company transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Singapore Dollar and the Indian Rupee. All currency transactions occur in the spot foreign exchange market and the Company does not use currency forward contracts, currency options, currency borrowings interest rate swaps or any other derivative hedging strategy at this point in time.
The Company has determined that based on the cash flow, sales price, sales market, expense, financing, and inter-company transactions and arrangements indicators set forth in FASB 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” that the functional currency of the Company is that of the parent company and is US Dollars. The Company has reported its gain on foreign currency in its consolidated statements of accumulated other comprehensive income due to the fact that these translation adjustments result from the translation of all assets and liabilities at the current rate, while the stockholder equity accounts were translated by using historical and weighted-average rates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R, as amended, are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the next fiscal year after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements (note 3(e)). Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and thereafter.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (FAS 151), “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. FASB 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage. In addition, FASB 151 requires companies to base the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion on the normal capacity of production facilities. FASB 151 is effective for the Company in 2006. The Company does not expect FASB 151 to have a material impact on its results or financial statements.
19
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (“SFAS 153”). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a non-monetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for non-monetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4-CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company’s trade receivables are derived from sales to original equipment manufacturers, manufacturers of microprocessors, automobile dealerships and automotive parts wholesalers. The Company endeavors to keep pace with the evolving computer and communications industries, and has adopted credit policies and standards intended to accommodate industry growth and inherent risk. Management believes that credit risks are moderated by the diversity of the Company’s end customers and geographic sales areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and requires collateral as deemed necessary.
NOTE 5-FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets consist of the following at:
| | | | |
| | June 30, |
| | 2005 |
Computer and office equipment | | | 91,655 | |
| | | | |
Less: accumulated depreciation | | | (13,499 | ) |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Net book value | | | 78,156 | |
| | | | |
Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $7,545 and $925, respectively.
NOTE 6-NOTES PAYABLE
The Company entered into a note payable, principal amount of $50,000 payable August 31, 2005. The Company entered into this note in connection with the 2002 acquisition of Connexus Technologies (Pte.) Ltd. The note was non-interest bearing if it was paid prior to August 31, 2003 and if the note was paid between September 1, 2003 and August 31, 2004 the total payment due was $100,000. If the note is paid between September 1, 2004 through August 31, 2005, total payment due is $150,000. The Company, at June 30, 2005 has reflected the value of the note payable, which includes interest at $100,000. The accrued interest is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
On April 26, 2005, the Company executed a promissory note for $750,000 to Montgomery Equity Partners, Ltd. Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, Montgomery Equity Partners disbursed the entire $750,000 to the Company upon the date the note was executed and an additional $250,000 will be disbursed to the Company after the Company’s common stock commences trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The promissory note is secured by substantially all
21
of the assets of the Company and shares of stock of an affiliate of the Company. The promissory note has a one-year term and accrues interest at 24% per year. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $30,000.
NOTE 7-PROMISSORY NOTES – RELATED PARTY
The Company entered into promissory notes with some of its officers who have amounts outstanding with the Company. These amounts accrue interest at varying rates between 6.0% and 12.0% annually. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has $1,246,043 outstanding under these notes, including $205,647 in accrued interest. The notes are due on September 30, 2005 and are therefore reflected as current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The notes relate to services rendered to the Company.
NOTE 8-PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes will be determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes will be measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s consolidated tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
At June 30, 2005, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
| | | | |
Deferred tax asset | | | 1,554,335 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (1,554,335 | ) |
| | | | |
| | | — | |
| | | | |
At June 30, 2005, the Company had deficits accumulated during the development stage in the approximate amount of $4,440,958, available to offset future taxable income through 2023. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.
NOTE 9-STOCKHOLDERS’EQUITY

NOTE 10-COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into employment agreements with key members of management and some officers. Most of these employment agreements are for a period of three to five years. As part of the employment agreements, the Company has granted stock options to these individuals that vest over a three to five-year period of time. The Company, in an effort to incentivize its officers, granted additional options and accelerated the vesting schedules. The officers were not compensated during the initial start-up of operations. However, they did exercise stock options in 2003.
Intellectual Property Licensing Agreements
Pursuant to the merger between Airbee Automotive Group, Inc. and Identity, Inc. on May 2, 2005, the Company assumed Identity’s contractual obligation to pay a time-based royalty to a third party for the use of intellectual property embedded within the Identity® automotive anti-theft device.
24
Lease Agreements
A subsidiary, Airbee Wireless (India) Pvt. Ltd., has entered into a three-year lease agreement for office space in Chennai, India. Monthly rent in the US Dollar equivalent is $1,505. The lease runs from April, 2004 to March, 2007.
Pursuant to the merger between Airbee Automotive Group, Inc. and Identity, Inc. on May 2, 2005, the Company has closed the Identity, Inc. office in Rancho Cordova, California and relocated it to Scottsdale, Arizona. Airbee Automotive Group, Inc. has a month-to-month lease commitment of $700.
NOTE 11-GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as is typical of companies going through early-stage development of intellectual property, and products and services, the Company incurred net losses for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support current operations and expand sales. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors including the success of the Company’s sales efforts. The Company has been successful in recent months in raising capital to fund its operating costs.
The Company has also been enhancing its business processes to account for the significant development that has occurred in the past year, and believes that with the proper bridge financing and potential permanent financing they anticipate, the viability of the Company remains very positive in excess of one year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 12-ACQUISITION
On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger by and among Identity, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Daniel R. Nelson, Airbee and Airbee Automotive Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Airbee, whereby the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into Identity, Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the surviving entity became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company issued 7,692,808 shares of restricted common stock to Daniel R. Nelson, the sole shareholder of Identity, Inc.
Identity had a net book value of $462,921 resulting in $3,216,296 in goodwill. Business reasons for acquiring Identity include that it has proven itself to be
25
successful with auto dealers as a value-added after-market sales product which can easily showcase Airbee’s short-range wireless technology; consumers regularly benefit from a reduction in their insurance premiums because of anti-theft devices like the Identity® product. Airbee Automotive Group will deploy Airbee’s ZigBee-ready wireless software into its existing product line; Airbee will be able to assist automotive dealers in tracking their inventory with Airbee’s network management software (Airbee-ZNMS™); and there should be increasing consumer awareness of retail products with Airbee’s wireless software technology embedded inside.
There are contingent payments in the form of time-based royalties tied to product sales that are to be paid to a patent holder for licensing its technology that is embedded inside Airbee Automotive Group’s principal automotive anti-theft device.
The book value of $462,921 of Identity, Inc. at the time of acquisition consisted of:

NOTE 13-RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company had amended its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period August 9, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002 on its report dated May 20, 2004. The Company had amended these consolidated financial statements to recognize an additional $381,513 and $48,168 in compensation and interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period August 9, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002. In addition, certain issuances of common stock have been restated due to valuation adjustments, the recording of unearned compensation due to the issuance of options below the fair market value (including amortization of unearned compensation of $13,748 in 2003 and 2002, respectively) and 2002 common share information has been restated to retroactively account for the stock split that occurred in September 2003. These transactions resulted in an increase in net loss applicable to common shares of $380,554 and $32,189 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period August 9, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002 to a net loss of $1,360,577 and $317,046 as restated, and an increase in the deficits accumulated during the development stage to $1,677,623 and $317,046, respectively. The December 31, 2004 financial statements have been restated for the amortization of unearned compensation for the year ended December 31, 2004 by $13,748 and this has increased the loss for the year then
26
ended to $1,136,743 as restated, and the accumulated deficit during the development stage to $2,814,366.
In addition, the Company has restated its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 for amortization of unearned compensation of $3,747 and the reclassification of various selling, general and administrative expenses, and compensation to research and development expenses. The effect of these changes resulted in an increase of the loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 of $3,747 to a net loss of $552,281 and $163,441, respectively, and an increase in the deficit accumulated during the development stage to $3,366,647.

Strategy
Our goals are to be (a) a preeminent provider of intelligent software for short range wireless communications embedded into silicon chips and platform solutions, and (b) a leading provider of wireless applications to the automotive sector.
As part of our overall embedded software strategy to compete in each target market segment, we focus our core competencies in the design and engineering of intelligent wireless communications software that is platform agnostic, ultra-low in energy consumption and complete portability across all controllers, radios, and operating system platforms. Our software is licensed to various global manufacturers of radio chips, radio frequency modules, and microprocessors used in an increasing number of wireless communications applications and devices. We believe with Airbee’s software embedded inside, and our advanced network management tools, our intelligent software will make other products perform better.
By combining technology ingredients (i.e., Airbee’s embedded software and the hardware components of silicon, radio controllers and original equipment manufacturers) to work together in a platform, we believe we create a broader end-user solution than if our embedded software was platform specific.
Our two business divisions operate in highly innovative environments characterized by a continuing and rapid introduction of new products that offer improved performance at lower prices. With the trend toward convergence in wireless communications products, our software and niche automotive product offerings will likely cross over multiple categories, offering us new opportunities, but may also result in more businesses that compete with us. Competition tends to increase pricing pressure on our products, which may mean that we must offer our products at lower prices than we had anticipated, resulting in lower profits.
28
During the second quarter of 2005, we established the Airbee Automotive Group which merged with Identity, Inc., a distributor of wireless automotive anti-theft devices to America’s more than 22,000 new car dealerships. Using advanced short-range wireless technology, Identity’s products provide total immobilization of a vehicle’s ignition system to prevent theft. Identity’s current nationwide customer base includes dealerships for General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, Saturn, Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infiniti, Honda, Acura, Suzuki, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, and Kia. Following the merger, we reorganized our business units to bring all major product groups in line with our strategy to design, engineer and deliver complete embedded software solutions for short range wireless communications and provide wireless product applications to the automotive sector. (See “Note 3 Business Segment Information” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). The discussion below and the results of operations for our two business units in this MD&A are presented under the new organizational structure, and all prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the new presentation.
Companies tend to compete in the same or similar innovative arenas, especially in new products such as ZigBee based software. By investing in underserved areas, such as automotive anti-theft devices and asset tracking and management, we believe that it is possible to yield a greater return on innovation investment. Building innovation topographies can, we believe, reveal technical and marketing patterns in our industry that show where Airbee can differentiate itself from the competition. In this case, it means various automotive applications and asset management that rely upon our core expertise—embedded communications software and the network tools to manage the products into which that software is embedded.
Our business model is designed to get Airbee’s embedded software inside an application (i.e., automotive anti-theft devices and asset management devices inside networks) that we can manage and use as a platform for other Airbee product sales, such as asset tracking and management with our Airbee ZNMS™ (ZigBee Network Management System). Tech-centric innovation only generates feature-ridden products that can frustrate users. We believe that user-centric innovation generates products that users will readily buy, such as automotive anti-theft devices sold by auto dealers and asset tracking for auto dealers, financial institutions that provide floor planning and insurance companies that want to securely manage multi-million dollar inventories.
By partnering with Texas Instruments, Radiocrafts, GMAC, Tricor Automotive Group and thousands of multi-store automobile dealerships, we can extend our embedded communications software and anti-theft device markets and our core brands (i.e., Airbee™ and Identity®). Partnerships such as these extend our sales and distribution networks nationally and globally.
Embedded Wireless Communications Software Group
For the Embedded Wireless Communications Software Group business unit, our strategy is to design, engineer and deliver short-range wireless communications software for voice and data for end-to-end solutions for various business segments (i.e., our software products are embedded into the products of other manufacturers).
29
Airbee promotes its embedded software for short range voice and data wireless communications as a “best in class” platform-independent ZigBee network software stack with key competitive differentiators such as complete portability across all controllers, radios, and operating system platforms.
In terms of penetrating multiple market segments, we focus on silicon manufacturers, specifically controller manufacturers. This is a two-step approach: (a) become an approved third-party vendor and achieve recognition in the manufacturer’s documentation, website and with its sales force (including distributors such as Texas Instruments and Radiocrafts); and (b) the overriding objective is to be embedded directly into the controller by the manufacturer and shipped directly with each controller. Furthermore, we pursue opportunities directly with original equipment manufacturers in automotive products, industrial control/automation, and homeland security applications.
Automotive Group
For the Automotive Group business unit, our strategy is to design and market wireless applications, more specifically automotive immobilization and anti-theft devices that are sold to auto dealerships in the US and Canada. Using advanced short-range wireless technology, Identity’s products provide total immobilization of a vehicle’s ignition system to prevent theft. We pursue opportunities directly with multi-store dealerships, through agents and via channel distribution partnerships with the auto manufacturers. Strategically, the Automotive Group’s wireless products will benefit from Airbee’s ZigBee-ready intelligent software and other wireless communications software, and, by year-end, we plan to roll out asset tracking and management products for auto dealerships, the financial institutions that provide inventory finance to dealerships, and for the insurance companies that insure the multi-million dollar inventory of vehicles on dealer lots.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Methods, estimates and judgments used in applying our accounting policies may have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements, which we discuss under the heading “Results of Operations.” Some of our accounting policies require us to make subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting estimates include the valuation of our intellectual property, which primarily impacts the carrying cost of our intellectual property on the balance sheet, and the valuation of goodwill of acquired companies, which impacts the carrying cost of a business unit and our shareholders’ equity. Below, we discuss these policies further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved. We also have other policies we consider key accounting policies, such as for revenue recognition, including the recognition of revenue on time limit license fees; however, these policies do not require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.
Inventory.The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as inventory that is not of saleable quality. The determination of obsolete or excess inventory requires us to estimate the future demand for our products within specific time
30
horizons, generally six months or less. The estimates of future demand that we use in the valuation of inventory are the basis for our published revenue forecasts, which are also consistent with our short-term OEM manufacturing plans. If our demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand and we fail to reduce OEM manufacturing output accordingly, we could be required to write down additional inventory, which would have a negative impact on our gross margin.
Long-Lived Assets.We assess the impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or the asset grouping may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant under-performance of a business or product line in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets. Recoverability of assets that will continue to be used in our operations is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset grouping to our estimate of the related total future net cash flows. If an asset grouping’s carrying value is not recoverable through the related cash flows, the asset grouping is considered to be impaired. The impairment is measured by the difference between the asset grouping’s carrying amount and its fair value, based on the best information available, including market prices or discounted cash flow analysis.
When it is determined that the useful lives of assets are different (i.e., shorter or longer) than originally estimated, and there are sufficient cash flows to support the carrying value of the assets, we adjust the rate of depreciation charges accordingly.
Results of Operations
Overview
Our second quarter 2005 results provided a platform where by the Company emerged from being a development stage company to a company with operating revenues. We had an operating loss and net loss compared to a year ago. We saw revenue growth attributed to the sale of wireless automotive anti-theft devices. During the quarter we announced a merger between the Airbee Automotive Group, Inc. and Identity, Inc. (“Identity”), a provider of wireless automotive anti-theft devices to car dealers across the US. As a result, we realigned our business groups across our major platform initiatives: embedded wireless communications software and wireless automotive devices. The discussion of our financial results below is consistent with these new business groups. From a product perspective, we are less dependant upon the licensing of wireless software embedded in the products of other companies and are instead largely dependent on the sales of our wireless anti-theft devices for automobiles. During this quarter these products accounted for 100% of our consolidated net revenue.
We believe we can continue to grow both annual revenue and gross margin dollars, with higher unit sales of wireless anti-theft devices and network management systems to track and manage assets, such as cars. We believe the continued growth in our two business segments is dependent on two significant trends: further penetration of new car dealerships which buy our vehicle anti-theft devices to secure their multi-million dollar inventories, and the market adoption of ZigBee standard software for our embedded software and the devices which
31
facilitate short-range low-energy wireless voice and data communications. As we start the second half of 2005, we intend to continue positioning Airbee to successfully meet emerging trends in wireless automotive products, asset tracking and management, and embedded communications software.

Our net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $725,357, an increase of 100% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was due to revenue generated by the Automotive Group following the merger with Identity in May 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Embedded Software Group signed a license with Radiocrafts. That license may generate revenue during the second half of 2005. Revenues associated with the license are contingent upon sales of Radiocrafts’ standard RF modules for
32
operation in the license-free ISM bands at 315 / 433 / 429 / 868 / 915 / 2450 MHz.
Our overall gross margin dollars were $156,043 in the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 100% compared to Q2 2004 and entirely attributed to the Automotive Group. The following table sets forth certain operations data and provides information for our business segments for the six months ended June 30, 2005:

There were no segment operations for the period January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Automotive Group began implementation of its referral and distribution agreement with GMAC Risk Services. This included the training of GMAC sales personnel and the installation of GM dealerships with the Identity® vehicle immobilization and anti-theft device. Further product training and rollouts in conjunction with GMAC are scheduled for the second half of 2005. We also entered into an installation and supply agreement with Tricor Automotive Group in Canada that covers installation over 12 months of its consortium of 60 dealerships across Canada. Multi-store installations for Avondale Automall and Cochrane Automotive were also completed during the three months ended June 30, 2005. The Automotive Group generates a front-end installation fee from dealerships entering the Identity®program plus a recurring revenue stream from reordered units when dealerships sell the anti-theft device to consumers. The results for the Automotive Group only represent two months.
Operating expenses for the six months ending June 30, 2005 were $1,675,323 as compared to $391,677 for the six months ending June 30, 2004, an increase 328% or $1,283,646.
33
The increase, as further explained below, is principally due to increases in compensation and professional fees, research and development and selling and administrative expenses. Operating expenses increased due to the Company (1) developing and implementing its business plan and its reporting obligations with the SEC; and (2) the acquisition of Identity, Inc.
Our overall increase in absolute dollars of compensation and professional expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $410,763. The increase was primarily due to increased professional services costs of $107,000 of legal fees related to our financing from Montgomery Equity Partners Ltd., Cornell Capital Partners LP and the cost of SEC reporting. Salaries rose $230,578 due to the consolidation of the Automotive Group ($148,490) and the addition of sales and programming personnel in the Embedded Software Group ($82,000). We believe that general and administrative expenses will not increase significantly in the short-term. However, we do expect an increase in absolute dollars in the long-term, as we invest in staff and infrastructure in the areas of information systems and sales and marketing.
Our overall selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries for the Embedded Software Group and the Automotive Group, and other marketing related expenses, compensation related expenses, sales commissions, facility costs and travel costs. Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation-related expenses, may vary going forward, depending in part on the level of revenue and profits.
The increase in absolute dollars of research and development for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $80,885. This increase was primarily due to increases in overall expenditures in research and development programs to ensure that our products continue to meet our customer demands. We expect that research and development expenses in absolute dollars will increase by 33% in the short-term due to product development for network management systems and two wireless automotive products.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $110,040 because of the $750,000 loan received from Montgomery Equity Partners and in Notes Payable to Related Parties.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
Revenues for the three months ending June 30, 2005 were $725,357 as compared to $0 for the three months ending June 30, 2004. This increase was due to the acquisition of Identity during the three months ending June 30, 2005 and the revenues from Identity’s operations.
Operating expenses for the three months ending June 30, 2005 were $1,155,053 as compared to $232,316 for the three months ending June 30, 2004, an increase of 397% or $922,737. The increase, as explained above, is principally due to increases in compensation and professional fees, research and development and selling and administrative expenses.
Compensation and professional fees increased by $410,763 or 272% to $562,021 for the three months ending June 30, 2005 from 151,258 for the three months ending June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due (a) to a $78,616 increase in costs associated with SEC reporting
34
(b) $10,000 in financial advisory services fees and (c) a $238,578 increase in compensation associated with the Company’s implementation of its business plan and acquisition of Identity. Management expects SEC reporting costs to decrease significantly in the future.
Research and development expenses for the three months ending June 30, 2005 increased by $80,858 or 194% to $122,432 as compared to $41,574 for the three months ending June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to product enhancements and product development. While a majority of the Company’s products are marketable, the Company continues to focus research and development on product extensions and incorporation into potential vendor platforms. Over the next 12 months, research and development expenses are expected to remain consistent with the three months ending June 30, 2005.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ending June 30, 2005 by $412,578 or 1,070% to $451,137 as compared to $38,559 for the three months ending June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due the acquisition of Identity as explained above. In addition, the Company’s commencement of Embedded Software sales initiatives, including direct customer calling and participation in industry trade shows in the US and abroad to market its products has increased. As the Company attempts to grow and develop its business, the Company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to increase.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ending June 30, 2005 by $18,538 or 2,004% to $19,463 as compared to $925 for the three months ending June 30, 2004. The increase was due to the purchase of equipment for the Company’s development center in Chennai, India. The Company expects to begin amortizing its intellectual property during the second quarter of 2005 now that license agreements associated with its intellectual property have been and will continue to be executed with third parties thereby establishing the commercial value of the intellectual property.
Plan of Operations
Business Outlook
As we look to the rest of 2005, we are planning on continued revenue growth, primarily from the Automotive Group which will see the number of auto dealership customers increase through direct marketing and the expansion of our provider partner agreement with GMAC. We expect the third quarter will be stronger than the fourth quarter, in line with historical seasonal sales patterns of the automotive sector generally. At the same time, we will continue to invest in enhancing our automotive anti-theft devices and in broadening our network of agents in North America.
Our financial results are substantially dependent on sales of wireless automotive anti-theft devices due to the slower than anticipated adoption rate of ZigBee-based products which will contain embedded software such as ours. We believe that the Automotive Group will generate about 96% of consolidated revenues for fiscal 2005. We believe that our dealership customer base in North America installing and selling the Identity® anti-theft device will expand by 20-35% during the current fiscal year because of (a) our marketing focus on mult-store dealerships
35
and (b) our distribution agreement with GMAC Risk Services that is intended to accelerate market penetration into GM’s 14,844 franchisees. Our agency agreement signed this quarter with Tricor Automotive Group of Canada will generate an estimated $1.3 million to $1.4 million during the first year of the agreement with an estimated recurring annual revenue stream thereafter of about $1.8 million to $2.2 million. Our emphasis is currently on increasing the recurring revenue stream from our present dealership base and adding new agents to our network so as to expand the number of dealerships.
Market adoption of the ZigBee standard for short-range data and voice communications software and products remains cautious. Nevertheless, we believe that a more accelerated adoption rate will begin to emerge during 2006 and that our Embedded Software Group will be a primary vendor to microprocessor manufacturers of both embedded communications software for mesh networks and the software to manage those networks. While software licenses have been signed with various parties, the revenue stream from those licenses is contingent upon the sale of our customers’ products to their customers. We expect the Embedded Software Group to continue to generate an operating deficit for the balance of 2005 roughly in line with the first six months of 2005.
For the second half of 2005, we expect revenue to be between $2.0 million and $3.0 million and reflect seasonal sales patterns in the automobile dealerships. Embedded Software Group revenue is expected to be less than $500,000.
We expect depreciation expense to be approximately $14,000 for the second half of 2005 and $26,000 for the full year 2005.
Research and development spending is expected to be approximately $430,000 in the second half of 2005, as we enhance our embedded software for wireless applications and further the development of two more wireless products for the Automotive Group.
Spending on research and development, plus marketing, general and administrative expenses in the second half of 2005 is expected to be approximately $1.2 million, slightly lower than the first half primarily due to a reduction in legal fees associated with SEC reporting and lower financial advisory fees. Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation-related expenses, may vary from this expectation, depending in part on the level of staffing in both the Automotive Group and the Embedded Software Group as we increase our sales teams.
We operate internationally, with sales, marketing and research and development activities. We are, therefore, subject to risks and factors associated with doing business outside the U.S. International operations involve inherent risks that include currency controls and fluctuations, tariff and import regulations, and regulatory requirements that may limit our or our customers’ ability to manufacture, assemble and test, design, develop or sell products in particular countries. If terrorist activity, armed conflict, civil or military unrest, or political instability occurs in the U.S., or other locations, such events may disrupt our customers’ manufacturing, assembly and test, logistics, security and communications, and could also result in reduced demand for our products. Business continuity could also be affected if labor issues disrupt our transportation arrangements or those of our customers or suppliers. In addition, we may rely on a single or
36
limited number of suppliers, or upon suppliers in a single country. On an international basis, we regularly review our key infrastructure, systems, services and suppliers, both internally and externally, to seek to identify potentially significant vulnerabilities as well as areas of potential business impact if a disruptive event were to occur. Once identified, we assess the risks, and as we consider it to be appropriate, we initiate actions intended to mitigate the risks and their potential impact. There can, however, be no assurance that we have identified all significant risks or that we can mitigate all identified risks with reasonable effort.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception we have principally funded our operations from private placements of securities and management and shareholder loans and contributions. As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company has $1,246,043 and $625,148 outstanding under related party notes, including $205,647 and $24,269 in accrued interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we issued common stock for cash amounting to $503,559. We issued common stock for compensation amounting to $13,000. We also issued stock for services with a value of $296,053 and we issued stock for financial services underwriting fees totaling $740,000. Proceeds from the sale of common stock and the payment for services with common stock have been used to pay down current payables. Although it is difficult to predict future liquidity requirements with certainty, we expect our cash requirements for working capital, product development and capital expenditures will be financed from our cash, cash equivalents and supplemented by approximately $21,000,000 of debt and equity financing from Montgomery Equity Partners LP and Cornell Capital Partners LP (see below). Most of the funding will be allocated principally for sales and marketing. It is not anticipated that any lack of funding will impact upon the license and development agreements since the software development has been completed for three of our products.
We have incurred an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2005 of approximately $4,440,958. The Company has negative working capital at June 30, 2005 of $2,149,541. Management believes the acquisition of Identity. and its wireless automotive anti-theft devices will provide an ongoing source of revenues; however, it will be insufficient to cover all operating costs which raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our obtaining adequate capital to fund losses until we become profitable. We believe the potential funding under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement discussed below will cover our operating costs until we become profitable.
On April 26, 2005, the Company executed a promissory note in the amount of $750,000 in favor of Montgomery Equity Partners, Ltd. Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, Montgomery Equity Partners disbursed the entire $750,000 to the Company upon the date the note was executed and an additional $250,000 will be disbursed to the Company after the Company’s common stock commences trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The promissory note has a one-year term and accrues interest at 24% per annum. The promissory note matures within a year from the date of execution.
On April 26, 2005 the Company, entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP. Pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, the
37
Company may, at its discretion, periodically sell to Cornell Capital Partners, LP shares of common stock for a total purchase price of up to $20.0 million. For each share of common stock purchased under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Cornell Capital Partners, LP will pay the Company 97% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock as quoted by Bloomberg, LP on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which the Company’s common stock is traded for the 5 days immediately following the notice date. The price paid by Cornell Capital Partners, LP for the Company’s stock shall be determined as of the date of each individual request for an advance under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. Cornell Capital Partners, LP will also retain 5% of each advance under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. Cornell Capital Partner’s obligation to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the Company obtaining an effective registration statement for shares of the Company’s common stock sold under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement and is limited to $300,000 per weekly advance.
Our principal sources of liquidity have been private placements of our securities, loans from management and shareholders, and a note payable from Montgomery Equity Partners. Management believes that the acquisition of Identity, Inc. on May 2, 2005 will provide surplus operating cash flow over the ensuing 12 months from our Airbee Automotive Group operations, but there will continue to be an operating cash flow deficit from the Embedded Software Group in the near and medium term.
Cash at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, was $58,250 and $87,362. At June 30, 2005 we had total stockholders’ equity of $2,753,434 compared to December 31, 2004, when we had total stockholders’ deficit of $1,281,466.
Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors including our research and development expenditures, expenses related to selling, general and administrative operations and working capital to support business growth. We anticipate that our operating and capital expenditures will constitute a material use of our cash resources. As a result, our net cash flows will depend heavily on (a) the level of our future sales which depend, to a large extent, on general economic conditions affecting us and our customers, as well as the timing of our products’ sales cycles, especially for the newly introduced ZigBee global standard, and other competitive factors and (b) our ability to control expenses.
With regard to our current liabilities at June 30, 2005, $1,040,396 is payable to related party note holders and employees who have deferred repayment as well as interest. Trade payables and accrued expenses at June 30, 2005 of approximately $1,173,504 are outstanding and will be paid as they come due or as payment may be extended by agreement of the parties. Of this aggregate amount, $967,627 is attributable to the Embedded Software Group and $205,877 is attributable to the Automotive Group.
The Automotive Group will continue to be our primary source of revenues and is essentially self-sustaining. To continue to fund rapid growth, surplus cash flow will continue to be reinvested in operations. However, we shall be dependent upon financing to accelerate our marketing activities and continue product enhancement, especially for the Embedded Software
38
Group. We anticipate monthly consolidated expenses of approximately $212,000 over the next several months. Based on our historical ability to obtain funding (including but not limited to the Montgomery Equity Partners Loan Note dated April 26, 2005 and the Cornell Capital partners Standby Equity Distribution Agreement dated April 26, 2005), we believe that sufficient funds will be available until adequate revenues are generated to cover operating expenses as cash flow allows. There are no known trends that are likely to have a material impact on liquidity.
Key Operating Metrics
With anticipated revenues commencing during the second quarter, our senior management will regularly review key financial information including net revenues, operating income or loss, earnings or loss per share, changes in deferred revenue, cash flow from operations and free cash. We define free cash as the sum of cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments and restricted investments less long-term debt. This information will allow us to monitor the profitability of our business and evaluate the effectiveness of investments that we have made in the areas of customer support, product development, and marketing and site operations. We believe that an understanding of key financial information and how it changes over time will be important to investors, analysts and other parties analyzing our business results and future market opportunities.
Additional Risks
Our future results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained in this filing, including this MD&A, involve a number of risks and uncertainties—in particular, the statements regarding our goals and strategies, new product introductions, plans to cultivate new businesses, future economic conditions, revenue, pricing, gross margin and costs, capital spending, depreciation and amortization, research and development expenses and the tax rate. In addition to the various important factors discussed above, a number of other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. Demand for our products, which impacts our revenue and gross margin percentage, is affected by business and economic conditions, as well as communications industry trends, and the development and timing of introduction of compelling software applications and operating systems that take advantage of the features of our products. Demand for our products is also affected by changes in customer order patterns, such as changes in the levels of inventory maintained by our customers and the timing of customer purchases. Airbee operates in highly competitive industries (i.e., embedded communications software and automotive anti-theft devices), and our revenue and gross profits could be affected by factors such as competing software technologies and standards, pricing pressures, actions taken by our competitors and other competitive factors, as well as market acceptance of our new ZigBee-ready products in specific market segments, the availability of sufficient automotive anti-theft inventory to meet demand. Future revenue is also dependent on continuing technological advancement, including the timing of new product introductions, sustaining and growing new businesses, and integrating and operating any acquired businesses. Results could also be affected by adverse effects associated with product defects and deviations from published specifications, and by litigation or regulatory matters involving intellectual property or other issues.
39
We are continuing to assemble the personnel and financial resources required to achieve the objectives of our business plan. Future revenue, costs and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, including those discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Disclosure controls and procedures 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, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, for the reasons described below (relating to the previously-identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting).
In connection with the evaluation described above, the Company identified no significant changes in its internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting, except that (i) the Company has taken the steps described below in connection with the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005;, and (ii) as of March 31, 2005 the Company has implemented internal procedures and assigned personnel with the duty to timely identify and disclose reportable events with the SEC.
As previously discussed in the Company’s Form 10-KSB (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has also described the restatement of its consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-QSB in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1. Remedial measures relating to its accounting controls and procedures that were recommended or identified in the course of the restatement process are summarized below. Also, as previously disclosed, the Company failed to timely file a current report on Form 8-K for the appointment of a director that was effective on January 1, 2005. As discussed above, measures were taken at March 31, 2005 to ensure that the Company timely files its periodic and current reports.
In compiling its financial results for (i) the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003; and (ii) the period ended March 31, 2005, management identified a material weakness in
40
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting relating to analysis practices and procedures employed by the Company in its financial reporting process. These issues have arisen as the Company modifies is financial reporting process to comply with accounting standards for public companies required under GAAP. A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes internal control from reducing to an appropriate low level of risk that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Specifically, the material weakness relates to: (i) compensation and interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period August 9, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002; (ii) restatement of common stock issuances due to valuation adjustments for common stock issuances, and the recording of unearned compensation due to the issuance of options below the fair market value for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period August 9, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002; (iii) retroactive accounting for the stock split that occurred in September 2003 for the year ended December 31, 2004; (iv) the amortization of unearned compensation for the year ended December 31, 2004; (v) and the amortization of unearned compensation and the reclassification of various selling, general and administrative expenses, and compensation to research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2005. These deficiencies in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting resulted in misstatements to prior annual and interim financial statements and, accordingly, certain prior annual and interim financial statements were restated to reflect the correction of accounting errors as more fully described in Note 13 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part 1, Item 1. Also, as described above, the Company failed to timely file a current report on Form 8-K for the appointment of a director that was effective on January 1, 2005.
The Company has identified and has implemented action plans to remediate the material weakness described above. Specifically, the Company has developed and implemented new accounting analysis procedures to ensure that all transactions are being analyzed in accordance with SEC public reporting standards and analyses are being independently reviewed. In addition, the Company has hired a certified public accountant to serve as financial controller. The new employee’s responsibilities will include the facilitation and implementation of the action plan.
While the Company has implemented remediation plans, the aforementioned material weakness will not be considered remediated until the new internal controls operate for a sufficient period of time, are tested, and management concludes that these controls are operating effectively. The Company expects to complete its analysis by the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Changes in Internal Controls
Except as provided above, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
