NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 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 (“Merger Agreement”) 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. By mutual agreement the Merger Agreement was rescinded in August 2005. See Notes 11 and 12. |
| | |
| | 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. |

NOTE 2 - | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| | |
| | Development Stage Company |
| | |
| | The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, patent applications, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets and raising capital. With the release of the ZigBee / IEEE 802.15.4 standard on December 14, 2004, the Company is anticipating that sales will be generated in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, at which time the Company will emerge from the development stage. |
| | |
| | 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 $5.5 million as of September 30, 2005. The Company’s operations have been financed primarily through a combination of issued equity and debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company had a net loss of approximately $2.67 million and cash used in operations of approximately $1.15 million. |
| | |
| | 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 assets of the Company plus shares of stock of an affiliate of the Company. It has a one-year term and accrues interest monthly at 24% per year. The Company has had difficulty adhering to the payment schedule of the note and has entered into a settlement agreement with Montgomery to satisfy the note with the liquidation of some of the pledged shares. The settlement agreement has not yet been signed by Montgomery. 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. |
9
| | |
| | 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 nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. 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 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. |
10
| | |
| | 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 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. |
11
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | 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 September 30, 2005 and 2004, there were no operating segments. |
| | |
| | Revenue and Cost Recognition |
| | |
| | The Company currently recognizes revenues from four primary sources: (1) time-based product license fees, (2) time-based license royalties, (3) product revenues for software development tools and kits, and (4) software service. |
| | |
| | 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 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. |
12
| | |
| | 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) 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. |
13
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | 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 9 months ended September 30, 2005 is $31,250. As a result of the settlement agreement, the balance of the prepaid costs has been written off totaling $43,750 and has been included in amortization expense. |
| | |
| | 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. |
14
| | |
| | Start-up Costs |
| | |
| | In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities,” the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company. |
| | |
| | Advertising |
| | |
| | The Company’s policy is to expense the costs of advertising and marketing as incurred. The Company had no such cost for the nine month period ended September 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 September 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: |
| | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, | | | September 30, | |
| | 2005 | | | 2004 | |
Net Loss | | | ($2,665,703 | ) | | | ($793,984 | ) |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (Basic) | | | 43,702,551 | | | | 37,173,703 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average common stock Equivalents: | | | | | | | | |
Stock options | | | — | | | | — | |
Warrants | | | — | | | | — | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding (Diluted) | | | 43,702,551 | | | | 37,173,703 | |
| | | | | | |
15
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 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 September 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.
16
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 nine months ended September 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. All goodwill associated with the acquisition of Connexus Technologies (Pte.) Ltd. (“Connexus”) was impaired in 2002 ($127,974), since Connexus was acquired for its development and anticipated future development which management has determined to have no material fair value as of the balance sheet date.
The identifiable intangible assets presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represent the intellectual property that was capitalized post-technological feasibility. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2005 is $5,000.
The main components of intangible assets are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 | |
| | Gross Carrying | | | Accumulated | |
| | Amount | | | Amortization | |
Intellectual Property | | | 172,789 | | | | 5,000 | |
Capitalized Research & Development | | | 419,772 | | | | — | |
| | |
Total Intangible Assets | | | 592,561 | | | | 5,000 | |
17
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.
18
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 3- | | CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK |
The Company’s trade receivables are derived from sales to original equipment manufacturers and manufacturers of microprocessors. 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 4- | | FIXED ASSETS |
| | |
| | Fixed assets consist of the following at: |
| | | | |
| | September 30, | |

Computer and office equipment | | | 86,031 | |
| | | | |
Less: accumulated depreciation | | | (19,231 | ) |
| | | |
| | | | |
Net book value | | | 66,800 | |
| | | |
Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $10,885 and $2,515, respectively.
19
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 and August 31, 2005, total payment due is $150,000. The Company, at September 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. The Company is presently negotiating a final settlement with the lender.
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 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 monthly at 24% per year. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $45,000. The Company had difficulty meeting the payment schedule called for by the promissory note and by virtue of a settlement with the lender, the obligation has been repaid by the affiliate’s collateral. Interest expense was charged $150,000 in the current period.
| | |
NOTE 6- | | 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 September 30, 2005, the Company has $1,817,743 outstanding under these notes, including $122,304 in accrued interest. The notes are due on December 31, 2005 and are therefore reflected as current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The notes relate to services rendered to the Company.
| | |
NOTE 7- | | 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.
20
At September 30, 2005, deferred tax asset consist of the following:
| | | | |
Deferred tax asset | | | 2,027,626 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (2,027,626 | ) |
| | | |
| | | — | |
| | | |
At September 30, 2005, the Company had deficits accumulated during the development stage in the approximate amount of $5,480,069, 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- | | 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.
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.
23
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 nine month period ended September 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 11- | | 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 ended to $1,136,743 as restated, and the accumulated deficit during the development stage to $2,814,366.
24
The Company has amended its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 to remove the effect of the now-rescinded May 2, 2005 acquisition of Identity, Inc., namely: revenues of $724,336; cost of goods sold of $556,314; and selling, general and administrative expenses of $397,778. In addition, the Company reserved $536,495 for monies advanced to Airbee Automotive Group, Inc. d/b/a Identity, Inc. The agreement has been rescinded and the Company believes it is owed the money. The effect of these changes resulted in an increase of the loss for the six and three month period ended June 30, 2005 of $296,739 and $293,302, respectively (June 30, 2004 results were not affected) and an increase in the deficit accumulated during the development stage to $4,737,697.
The Company has amended its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to record amortization of unearned compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $10,311. The effect of these changes resulted in an increase of the loss for the nine and three month period ended September 30, 2004 of $10,311 and $3,437, respectively. This increased the deficit accumulated during the development stage to $2,471,607.

NOTE 12 | | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement by and among the Company and Identity, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Daniel R. Nelson, and Airbee Automotive Group, Inc. (AAG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbee, whereby AAG merged with and into Identity, Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the surviving entity became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Between May 2, 2005 and August 25, 2005, the Company advanced $535,000 in cash to Identity and paid additional bills on Identity’s behalf, all of which were accounted for as intra-company loans and eliminated in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
By mutual agreement the Merger Agreement was rescinded in August 2005. The shares of the Company’s common stock that formed part of the consideration for the Merger Agreement have been retroactively canceled and are reflected in these financial statements. Subsequent to the execution of the rescission agreement, Identity refused to repay the advances of $535,000. The Company believes it is owed the money and that Identity has an obligation to return the monies advanced. The Company has retained counsel to enforce its rights and is prepared to take all actions necessary to recover the funds.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles the Company has elected to expense this amount as a bad debt in the current period and will recognize future recoveries in the periods received. By doing so, the Company does not waive or in any way diminish any of its rights to the funds advanced to Identity, all of which are expressly reserved.

Strategy
Our goal is to be a preeminent provider of intelligent software for short range wireless communications embedded into silicon chips and platform solutions.
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 our 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.
We 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 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.
26
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 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.
Our business model is designed to get Airbee’s embedded software inside an application 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 asset tracking for auto dealers and insurance companies that want to securely manage multi-million dollar inventories.
By partnering with Texas Instruments and Radiocrafts, we can extend our embedded communications software market and our core brand (i.e., Airbee™). Partnerships such as these extend our sales and distribution networks nationally and globally.
Embedded Wireless Communications Software
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).
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, module manufacturers and OEMs. 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.
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
27
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.
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
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004
For the first nine months of 2005 we had virtually no operating revenues, resulting in a net loss applicable to common shares of $2,665,703, or $0.06 net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $793,984 or $0.02 net loss per share for the first nine months of 2004. Cumulative net loss since inception totaled $5,480,069.
Our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was insignificant at $1,021 as compared to $932 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company signed license agreements with Radiocrafts, Texas Instruments, and Infineon. These license agreements may generate revenue during the first quarter of 2006. Revenues associated with the license are contingent upon sales of Radiocrafts’ standard RF modules for operation in the license-free ISM bands at 315 / 433 / 429 / 868 / 915 / 2450 MHz.
Operating expenses for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 were $2,354,640 as compared to $664,322 for the nine months ending September 30, 2004, an increase of 254% or $1,690,318. This increase, as further explained below, is principally due to increases in compensation and professional fees, bad debt, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses increased as the Company developed and implemented its business plan and its reporting obligations with the SEC.
28
Our overall increase in absolute dollars of compensation and professional expenses in the nine months ended Sept 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $643,876. 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 legal and accounting fees in connection with our SEC reporting. Salaries rose due to the addition of sales and programming personnel ($67,000). 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 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.
Bad debt expense reflects cash advances totaling $536,495 made to Airbee Automotive Group, Inc., d/b/a Identity, Inc. under the now-rescinded Merger Agreement. We recovered $15,079 through intra-company transfers before the Merger Agreement was rescinded. Even though the merger has been rescinded, we believe we are owed the money and that it should be returned. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles we have elected to expense this amount as a bad debt in the current period and will recognize future recoveries in the periods received. Nothing in this paragraph is intended in any way to waive any right, title or interest we have to the monies advanced, all of which are expressly reserved.
The increase in absolute dollars of research and development for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $101,775. 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. With the demonstration of a working prototype, we expect to capitalize future research and development costs and amortize them going forward.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $88,550. Most of this increase is from the amortization of $75,000 in loan financing costs in this period plus another $5,000 for amortization of intellectual property. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $196,569, principally due to charges related to settlement agreement of the $750,000 loan from Montgomery Equity Partners. The interest expense attributable to Notes Payable to Related Parties increased $46,569.
To date, our financial results typically reflect a development stage company. We have signed several licensing and joint development agreements with prospective clients and have successfully embedded our software onto six difference hardware platforms (Motorola, Texas Instruments, Chipcon, SupaRule, Intel and WinEdge & Wireless).
With the ZigBee Alliance releasing version 1.0 of its international standard for wireless voice and data communications on December 14, 2004, the Company signed a three-year licensing and teaming agreement with Radiocrafts AS in April to provide ZigBee-ready
29
solutions. Radiocrafts is a leading RF module design and manufacturing company based in Norway. In July 2005 the Company entered in to a three-year licensing agreement with Texas Instruments and in August 2005 the Company entered into a licensing agreement with SoftBaugh, Inc. for a one-year term with a renewal negotiated on an annual basis. We also have signed a nine month development license with Infineon Technologies, a German company, to migrate our ZigBee software to the Infineon product. The license is valued at $35,000 payable on completion of validation testing. The Company has several other agreements in process with international companies pending completion of evaluation and testing for suitability. The Company also has its ZigBee-ready software product in compliance testing with an independent testing agency authorized by the ZigBee Alliance to perform such testing, the results of which are forthcoming.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2004
Revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2005 were $0 as compared to $932 for the three months ending September 30, 2004.
Operating expenses for the three months ending September 30, 2005 were $540,464 as compared to $272,645 for the three months ending September 30, 2004, an increase of 98% or $267,819 The increase, as explained above, is principally due to increases in compensation and professional fees, research and development and selling and administrative expenses. No bad debt expense was incurred in this period.
Compensation and professional fees increased by $151,772 or 79% to $343,900 for the three months ending September 30, 2005 from 192,128 for the three months ending September 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due (a) to a $68,000 increase in sales and administrative salaries and (b) a $68,000 increase in professional fees incurred in connection with SEC reporting, tax return preparation and other legal matters. Management expects SEC reporting costs to decrease significantly in the future.
Research and development expenses for the three months ending September 30, 2005 were $12,512 as compared to $28,198 for the three months ending September 30, 2004 The Company is now capitalizing its R&D costs with the demonstration of a working prototype. 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. Going forward, research and development expenses are expected to be the amortization of capitalized research and development costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ending September 30, 2005 by $63,474 or 124% to $114,833 as compared to $51,359 for the three months ending September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the Company’s commencement of software sales initiatives, including direct customer calling and participation in industry trade shows in the US and abroad to market its products. As the Company attempts to grow and develop its business, the Company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to increase.
30
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ending September 30, 2005 by $68,259 or 7,110% to $69,219 as compared to $960 for the three months ending September 30, 2004. The increase was due to the purchase of equipment for the Company’s development center in Chennai, India and the amortization of financing fees from the transaction with Montgomery Equity Partners, Ltd. which were $62,500 in this period. The Company also began 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
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 we 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 to continue to generate an operating deficit for the balance of 2005 roughly in line with the first six months of 2005.
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 September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company has $1,817,743 and $700,758 outstanding under related party notes, including $122,304 and $64,399 in accrued interest. During the nine months ended September
31
30, 2005, we issued common stock for cash amounting to $670,559. We issued common stock for compensation amounting to $13,000. We also issued stock for services with a value of $298,494 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 September 30, 2005 of approximately $5,480,069. The Company has negative working capital at September 30, 2005 of $2,583,125. Management believes 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 monthly at 24% per annum. The promissory note matures within a year from the date of execution. The Company defaulted under the terms of the promissory note and reached a settlement with Montgomery Equity Partners where principal, accrued but unpaid interest and other fees and expenses would be paid through the liquidation of Company stock pledged by an affiliate.
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 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.
32
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 there will continue to be an operating cash flow deficit in the near and medium term.
Cash at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $16,618 and $87,362, respectively. At September 30, 2005 we had total stockholders’ deficit of $1,968,135 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 September 30, 2005, $1,817,743 is payable to related party note holders and employees who have deferred repayment as well as interest. Trade payables and accrued expenses at September 30, 2005 of $1,401,706 are outstanding and will be paid as they come due or as payment may be extended by agreement of the parties.
Based on our historical ability to obtain funding (including but not limited to 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.
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 nine month period ended September 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.
Key Operating Metrics
With anticipated revenues commencing during the fourth quarter of 2005, 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.
33
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 a highly competitive industry (i.e., embedded communications software), 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. 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.
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 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.
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
34
Officer have concluded that, as of September 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). 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 the risk that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In connection with the evaluation described above, the Company identified 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. 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 as of June 30, 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 below, measures were taken in May 2005 to ensure that the Company timely files its current reports.
Management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting relating to analysis practices and procedures employed by the Company in its financial reporting process during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003; and (ii) the period ended March 31, 2005. The financial reporting issues were discovered throughout the year ended December 31, 2004 and three months ending March 30, 2005, as the Company became a reporting company under the Securities Act and modified its financial reporting process to comply with accounting standards for public companies required under GAAP. The delinquent report was discovered in February 2005.
Specifically, the material weakness relates to inadequate staffing which resulted in: (i) misstatements relating to compensation and interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the period August 9, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002; (ii) restatement 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) failure to retroactively account for the stock split that occurred in September 2003 for the year ended December 31, 2004; (iv) the improper amortization of unearned compensation for the year ended December 31, 2004; (v) the improper amortization of unearned compensation and the reclassification of various selling, general and administrative expenses; (vi) compensation to research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2005; and (vii)
35
the delinquent filing of a current report on Form 8-K during the three months 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. These deficiencies also resulted in the Company’s failure to timely report the appointment of a new director.
In order to cure the material weakness, during March 2005 the Company has implemented an analysis procedure that requires all transactions, including, but not limited to, transactions similar to the deficiencies above, be analyzed in accordance with SEC public reporting standards. In May 2005 the Company hired a certified public accountant to serve as financial controller. The new employee’s responsibilities will include the accounting analysis and responsibility to monitor the timely filing of SEC reports. The Company believes that the new employee will satisfy the staffing deficiency.
While the Company has implemented an accounting analysis procedure and hired additional personnel, 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
As provided above, changes 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.
