BROADCAST INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2007
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Broadcast International, Inc. contain the adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, with the cash flows for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses and have not demonstrated the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our liabilities and sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient income and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and to obtain additional financing as may be required. We are actively seeking additional capital and financing. There is no assurance we will be successful in our future funding efforts. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain 2006 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2007 presentations.
NOTE 4 - WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES
The computation of basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the common stock equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding, using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period. Options and warrants to purchase 15,014,643 and 5,781,037 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.02 to $45.90 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were excluded for the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of stock options and warrants was anti-dilutive.
NOTE 5 - STOCK COMPENSATION
Beginning on January 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R), which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation. We have used the modified prospective application. Under the fair value recognition provisions for FAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards expected to vest and recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award. We have used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value of our stock-based awards, which requires various judgmental assumptions including estimated stock price volatility, forfeiture
7
rates, and expected life. Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.
We calculated the fair market value of each option and warrant awarded on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the grants awarded for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Risk-free interest rate
4.52%
- 4.77%
Expected lives in years
3.0
- 10.0
Dividend yield
0
Expected volatility
82.20%
- 82.95%
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 includes $611,993 and $486,750, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Options issued to directors are immediately vested, all other options and warrants are subject to applicable vesting schedules. Expense is recognized proportionally as each grant vests.
Included in the $611,993 for the three months March 31, 2007 is $405,000 resulting from 500,000 options granted to two directors, $125,941 resulting from the vesting of unexpired options issued prior to January 1, 2007, $57,330 resulting from 1,300,000 warrants issued to 5 consultants, $13,362 resulting from the issuance of 366,500 options issued to non-executive management employees and $10,360 for repriced options previously granted to executive management. Warrants to acquire 231,999 shares of our common stock were also granted to certain equity investors. See note 8.
Included in the $486,750 for the three months March 31, 2006 is $342,500 resulting from 175,000 options granted to two outside directors, $10,362 for repriced options previously granted to executive management. The repricing of previously vested options accounted for $26,048 and finally the vesting of unexercised options issued prior to January 1, 2006 of $107,840
The impact on our results of operations for recording stock-based compensation under FAS 123R for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

NOTE 6 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management Estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all cash on hand and in banks, and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had bank balances in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Trade Account Receivables
Trade account receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days. After the receivable becomes past due, it is on non-accrual status and accrual of interest is suspended.
Inventories
9
Inventories consisting of electrical and computer parts are stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property, generally from three to five years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred except when such repairs significantly add to the useful life or productive capacity of the asset, in which case the repairs are capitalized.
Patents
Patents represent initial legal costs incurred to apply for United States and international patents on the CodecSys technology, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life of approximately 20 years. We have filed several patents in the United States and foreign countries. As of March 31, 2007, four foreign countries had approved patent rights and we are in a “patent pending” status in the United States. While we are unsure whether we can develop the technology in order to obtain the full benefits, the patents themselves hold value and could be sold to those with more resources to complete the development. On-going legal expenses incurred for patent follow-up have been expensed from July 2005 forward.
Amortization expense recognized on all patents totaled $737 and $70 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Estimated amortization expense, if all patents were issued as of April 1, 2007, for each of the next five years is as follows:
Year ending December 31: |
|
2007 | $ 8,665 |
2008 | 10,570 |
2009 | 10,570 |
2010 | 10,570 |
2011 | 10,570 |
Marketable Securities-Available For Sale Securities.
We record available for sale securities at the time of acquisition at fair market value and classify them as current or noncurrent assets on our balance sheet based upon our intended holding period. At each reporting period, market value is compared to cost with the cumulative unrealized gain or loss presented as a separate item in our equity section and identified as accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss.
Long-Lived Assets
We review our long-lived assets, including patents, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future un-discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, then the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined by using cash flow analyses and other market valuations.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Revenue Recognition
10
We recognize revenue when evidence exists that there is an arrangement between us and our customers, delivery of equipment sold or service has occurred, the Company’s selling price to its customers is fixed and determinable with required documentation, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize as deferred revenue, payments made in advance by customers for services not yet provided.
When we enter into a multi-year contract with a customer to provide installation, network management, satellite transponder and help desk, or a combination of these services, we recognize this revenue as services are performed and as equipment is sold. These agreements typically provide for additional fees, as needed, to be charged if on-site visits are required by the customer in order to ensure that each customer location is able to receive network communication. As these on-site visits are performed, the associated revenue and cost are recognized in the period the work is completed. If we install, for an additional fee, new or replacement equipment to an immaterial number of new customer locations, and the equipment immediately becomes the property of the customer, the associated revenue and cost are recorded in the period in which the work is completed.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. In the normal course of business, we provide credit terms to our customers. Accordingly, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations.
Our three largest customers’ sales revenues accounted for approximately 71% and 84% of total revenues, with combined balances representing approximately 18% and 84% of our outstanding accounts receivable, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Included in the numbers above is our single largest customer for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, which provided 42% and 62%, respectively, of our total revenue. Any material reduction in revenues generated from any one of our largest customers could harm our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, notes receivables, payables and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash, receivables and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The aggregate carrying amount of the notes receivable and notes payable approximates fair value as the individual notes bear interest at market interest rates.
NOTE 7- LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS
Unsecured Convertible Note
Effective November 2, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, which was dated October 28, 2006, with Mr. Leon Frenkel, a 5% Convertible Note, a Registration Rights Agreement, and four classes of warrants to purchase our common stock.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) we sold to Frenkel a three-year convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the funding received by us; (ii) the convertible note bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semi-annually in cash or shares of our common stock; (iii) the convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share; and (iv) we issued to Frenkel four classes of warrants (A Warrants, B Warrants, C Warrants and D Warrants), which give Frenkel the right to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock as described below. The A and B Warrants expire on January 11, 2008, one year after the effective date of a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register the subsequent sale of shares received from exercise of the A and B Warrants. The C Warrants and D Warrants expire at the earlier to occur of eighteen months and twenty-four months, respectively, after the effective date of a registration statement to be filed or five years from the date of issuance. The A Warrants grant Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, the B Warrants grant Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, the C Warrants grant Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share, and the D Warrants grant Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The warrants and the embedded conversion feature of the unsecured convertible note have been accounted for as derivatives pursuant to EITF 00-19 and SFAS No. 133.
11
As of March 31, 2007, we recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $4,327,200 and a derivative valuation loss of $1,056,400 to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivate liability since December 31, 2006. The aggregate derivative liability of $4,327,200 included $486,700 for the conversion feature and $3,840,500 for the warrants. These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk−free interest rate between 4.54% and 4.90%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 2.50 for the conversion feature and between 0.80 and 4.60 for the warrants; (iii) expected volatility of 87.90%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $1.40.
The principal value of $1,000,000 of the unsecured convertible note is being accreted over the term of the obligation, for which $83,334 was included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The note bears a 5% annual interest rate payable semi annually, and for the three months ended March 31, 2007, $12,501 was included in interest expense.
Senior Secured Convertible Note
On May 16, 2005, we consummated a private placement of $3,000,000 principal amount of 6% senior secured convertible notes and related securities, including common stock warrants and additional investment rights, to four institutional funds. The senior secured convertible notes are due May 16, 2008 and were originally convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. On March 16, 2006, we entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement (discussed below), which adjusted the conversion rate to $1.50 per share. The warrants and the embedded conversion feature of the senior secured convertible notes have been accounted for as derivatives pursuant to EITF 00-19 and SFAS No. 133.
We issued to the note holders a total of 600,000 A warrants and 600,000 B warrants to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $2.50 and $4.00, respectively. The $2.50 conversion price of the senior secured convertible notes and the $2.50 and $4.00 exercise price of the A Warrants and the B Warrants, respectively, are subject to adjustment pursuant to standard anti-dilution rights. On March 16, 2006, we entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement, which adjusted the exercise price of both the A and B warrants to $2.00 per share. These rights include (i) equitable adjustments in the event the Company effects a stock split, dividend, combination, reclassification or similar transaction; (ii) “weighted average” price protection adjustments in the event we issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than the then current market price of the common stock; and (iii) 47;full ratchet” price protection adjustments in the event we issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than $1.50 per share
The conversion feature and the prepayment provision of the notes were accounted for as embedded derivatives and valued on the transaction date using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The warrants were accounted for as derivatives and were valued on the transaction date using a Black-Scholes pricing model as well. At the end of each quarterly reporting date, the values of the derivatives are evaluated and adjusted to current fair value. The note conversion feature and the warrants may be exercised at any time and, therefore, have been reported as current liabilities. The prepayment provision may not be exercised by us until May 16, 2007, and then only in certain limited circumstances. For all periods since the issuance of the senior secured convertible notes, the derivative value of the prepayment provision has been nominal and has not had any offsetting effect on the valuation of the conversion feature of the notes.
On March 16, 2006, we entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement with the four institutional funds regarding our default under a forbearance agreement. Under the terms of the waiver, the institutional funds terminated the forbearance agreement and waived any and all defaults under the senior secured convertible notes and related transaction agreements. In consideration of the waiver, we and the funds agreed to amend the transaction agreements as follows: (i) Section 3.12 of the securities purchase agreement was deleted, which provision gave the funds a preemptive right to acquire any new securities issued by us; (ii) Section 3.15(c) of the securities purchase agreement was deleted, which provision prohibited us from completing a private equity or equity-linked financing; (iii) the conversion price, at which the notes are convertible into common shares of the Company, was amended to be $1.50 instead of $2.50; (iv) the exercise price, at which all warrants (A warrants and B warrants) held by the funds are exercisable, was changed to $2.00 (which exercise price was subsequently reduced to $1.50 due to applicable price protection provisions); and (v) the notes were amended by adding a new event of default, which is that if we had failed to raise and receive at least $3,000,000 in cash net proceeds
12
through one or more private or public placements of our securities by September 30, 2006, we would have been in default under the notes
On April 21, 2006, two of the institutional funds converted an aggregate of $500,000 of their convertible notes into 333,334 shares of our common stock. Upon completion of this conversion, the principal amount of the senior secured convertible notes was reduced from $3,000,000 to $2,500,000.
On March 18, 2007, two of the institutional funds converted an aggregate of $750,000 of their convertible notes into 500,000 shares of our common stock. Upon completion of this conversion, the principal amount of the senior secured convertible notes was reduced from $2,500,000 to $1,750,000.
As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $1,543,700 and $4,256,000 and a derivative valuation loss of $597,990 and $1,244,000 to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivate liability since December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The aggregate derivative liability of $1,543,700 included $571,700 for the conversion feature and $972,000 for the warrants. These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk-free interest rate of 4.9% for conversion feature and 4.54% for warrants; (ii) expected life (in years) of 1.10 for the conversion feature and 3.10 for the warrants; (iii) expected volatility of 87.90%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $1.40.
The principal value of $1,750,000 of the senior secured convertible notes is being accreted over the term of the obligations, for which $208,335 and $249,999 was included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The notes bear a 6% annual interest rate payable semi annually, and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, $36,125 and $45,000, respectively, were included in interest expense.
IDI Bankruptcy Settlement
On May 18, 2004, the Debtor-in-Possession’s Plan of Reorganization for Interact Devices Inc. (IDI) was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court. As a part of this confirmation, we assumed liabilities to be paid in cash of approximately $312,768. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we paid approximately $17,547 of the $312,768 original obligation. The balance remaining as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately, $87,733 and $157,920 of which $70,187 and has been recorded as the current portion with $17,547 and $87,733, respectively as long-term debt.
NOTE 8 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we received $348,020 from the sale of 232,012 shares of common stock pursuant to a Private Placement Offering at a price of $1.50 per share. Additionally, the holders of 231,999 of these shares received a warrant to acquire one share of our common stock. The warrants have a three-year exercise period and are exercisable at a $2.00 exercise price.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we issued 2,160,000 shares of our common stock to three corporations, which provide investor relations services for the Company.

NOTE 9- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and, amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after December 31, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 155.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109)” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier adoption encouraged. This interpretation was issued to clarify the
14
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this interpretation.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 addresses how companies should measure the fair value of assets and liabilities when fair value recognition or disclosure is required. Additionally, SFAS 157 formally defines fair value as the amount that the company would receive if it sold an asset or transferred a liability to another company operating in the same market. The guidance of SFAS 157 must be applied to the first reporting period beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin, No.108 (“SAB 108”), which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. Early application of the guidance is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of SAB 108. SAB 108 is required for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 158, “Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires, among other items, (1) that a company recognize the funding status of its defined benefit pension plan as an asset or liability on its balance sheet, (2) recognize in other comprehensive income gains and losses, net of tax, and prior service costs or credits that are not recognized in the current period, and (3) measure benefit plan assets and liabilities as of the company's balance sheet date. The guidance of SFAS 158 must be applied to the first reporting period ending after December 31, 2006. The provisions of SFAS 158 will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
NOTE 10- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 2007, we issued a total of 83,335 shares of our common stock to three individuals in exchange for $125,000 pursuant to the terms of a private placement. Pursuant to the private placement, we also issued warrants to the same investors to purchase a total of 83,335 shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share and are exercisable for three years from the date of issuance.
On April 20, 2007, we issued a total of 66,667 shares of our common stock to one institutional fund pursuant to the conversion of $100,000 principal amount of senior secured convertible notes at a conversion price of $1.50 per share.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERTIONS
Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance that are not historical facts are forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "management believes," "we believe," "we intend" and similar words or phrases. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are the following:
·
dependence on commercialization of our CodecSys technology;
·
our ability to continue as a “going concern;”
·
our need and ability to raise sufficient additional capital;
·
our limited operating history and continued losses;
·
restrictions contained in our outstanding convertible notes;
·
ineffective internal operational and financial control systems;
·
rapid technological change;
·
intense competitive factors;
·
our ability to hire and retain specialized and key personnel;
·
dependence on significant customers;
·
uncertainty of intellectual property protection;
·
potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others;
·
factors affecting our common stock as a “penny stock;”
·
extreme price fluctuations in our common stock;
·
price decreases due to future sales of our common stock;
·
general economic and market conditions;
·
future shareholder dilution; and
·
absence of dividends.
Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are
16
reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.
Our accounting policies that are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and which require the highest degree of management judgment, relate to the reserves for doubtful accounts receivable, the valuation of stock and options issued for services, and revenue recognition.
Reserves for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
Management estimates the amount of required reserves for the potential non-collectibility of accounts receivable based upon past experience of collection and consideration of other relevant factors. Past experience, however, may not be indicative of future collections and therefore we could incur additional charges in the future to reflect differences between estimated and actual collections.
Valuation of stock and options
We value and account for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when evidence exists that there is an arrangement between us and our customers, delivery of equipment sold or service has occurred, the selling price to our customers is fixed and determinable with required documentation, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize as deferred revenue payments made in advance by customers for services not yet provided.
When we enter into a multi-year contract with a customer that has an established network to provide installation, network management, satellite transponder and help desk, or a combination of these services, we recognize this revenue as the services are performed and as equipment is sold. These agreements typically provide for additional fees, as needed, to be charged if on-site visits are required by the customer in order to ensure that each customer location is able to receive network communication. As these on-site visits are performed, the associated revenue and cost are recognized in the period the work is completed.
Executive Overview
We continue to need additional capital to fund our operating activities, including the development of our CodecSys technology. In 2006, we commenced a private placement offering of our securities by selling shares of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share. In the offering, the purchaser of each share has received a warrant to acquire one share of common stock. The warrants have a three-year exercise period and are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. As of December 31, 2006, we had raised $1,743,166 from the sale of 1,162,110 shares of our common stock pursuant to the offering. We subsequently raised $348,020 from the sale of 232,012 shares of our common stock in February 2007, which concluded this private placement offering.
We have recently commenced a new private offering of our common stock in order to obtain additional funding. The financial terms of the offering are expected to be the same as those described above pursuant to the private placement offering recently concluded. We are also considering the prospects of pursuing other equity or debt financing.
On January 27, 2006, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Video Processing Technologies Inc., or VPTI, in exchange for an aggregate of 994,063 shares of our common stock. In this transaction, we recognized $1,363,126 as common stock issued for acquisition in excess of asset valuation. Prior to the acquisition, VPTI had entered into a license agreement with the University of California, San Diego, related to certain patent pending technology, which our management had anticipated incorporating into the CodecSys technology.
17
On April 24, 2006, two of the institutional fund holders of our outstanding senior secured convertible notes converted an aggregate of $500,000 of their convertible notes into 333,334 shares of our common stock. As a result of this conversion, the principal balance of the senior secured convertible notes was reduced from $3,000,000 to $2,500,000. Additionally, we recognized $646,800 for the early extinguishment of debt. As a result, the total value of the debt conversion amounted to $1,146,800.
On August 15, 2006, we raised $1,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement (including warrants and a registration rights agreement) with YLS, in which we sold 666,667 restricted shares of our common stock to YLS at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. YLS was also issued warrants in accordance with the stock purchase agreement. The warrants provided for the purchase of up to 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.60 to $3.00 per share. In connection with the transaction, we entered into a stock exchange agreement and two separate technology license agreements with affiliated parties of YLS. The foregoing YLS transaction, however, was terminated effective December 31, 2006, as described below.
On September 29, 2006, we entered into a letter of understanding with Triage, whereby Triage provided $1,000,000 to us in exchange for us agreeing to enter into a convertible note securities agreement. The funding provided by Triage was replaced with a convertible note securities agreement dated October 28, 2006 entered into with Leon Frenkel, an affiliate and assignee of Triage, pursuant to which we issued to Mr. Frenkel an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the funding received by us on September 29, 2006, and warrants. The unsecured convertible note is due October 16, 2009 and bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semi-annually in cash or in shares of our common stock if certain conditions are satisfied. The unsecured convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, convertible any time during the term of the note, and is subject to standard anti-dilution rights. The warrants provide for the purchase of up to 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.60 to $3.00 per share.
On January 22, 2007, we terminated the YLS transaction effective as of December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the termination, we returned the funds we received in the transaction and all of the shares of common stock that we issued were cancelled, other than a total of 1,500,000 shares that YLS will hold in connection with a continuing e-publishing technology license agreement.
On February 28 and March 30, 2007, we raised a total of $249,974 pursuant to the issuance of two unsecured promissory notes. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6% and are due on December 31, 2007.
On March 18, 2007, two of the institutional fund holders of our outstanding senior secured convertible notes converted an aggregate of $750,000 of their convertible notes into 500,000 shares of our common stock. As a result of this conversion, the principal balance of the senior secured convertible notes was reduced from $2,500,000 to $1,750,000
On April 20, 2007, one of the institutional fund holders of our outstanding senior secured convertible notes converted an aggregate of $100,000 of its convertible notes into 66,667 shares of our common stock. As a result of this conversion, the principal balance of the senior secured convertible notes was reduced from $1,750,000 to $1,650,000. The outstanding notes are presently convertible into 1,100,000 shares of our common stock
The conversion feature and the prepayment provision of the senior secured convertible notes and unsecured convertible note have been accounted for as embedded derivatives and valued on the respective transaction dates using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The warrants related to the convertible notes have been accounted for as derivatives and were valued on the respective transaction dates using a Black-Scholes pricing model as well. At the end of each quarterly reporting date, the values of the embedded derivatives and the warrants are evaluated and adjusted to current market value. The conversion features of the convertible notes and the warrants may be exercised at any time and, therefore, have been reported as current liabilities. Prepayment provisions contained in the convertible notes may not be exercised by us until one year after the respective issuance dates of the notes, and then only in certain limited circumstances. For all per iods since the issuance of the senior secured convertible notes and the unsecured convertible note, the derivative values of the respective prepayment provisions have been nominal and have not had any offsetting effect on the valuation of the conversion features of the notes.

We generated $ 1,599,066 in net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the same three-month period in 2006, we generated net sales of $2,780,398. The decrease in net sales of $1,181,332, or approximately 43%, was due primarily to our performing significantly less work in the three months ended March 31, 2007 for two customers than we did for those customers in the first quarter of 2006. We realized $1,232,564 less revenue from services performed for these two customers in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 than in the first quarter of 2006. We do not expect to perform significant services for either of these customers in the remainder of 2007. As discussed below, one of these customers was our largest customer for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Our three largest customers accounted for approximately $1,142,865 and $2,331,742 of total net sales of $1,599,066 and $2,780,398 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our largest customer generated net sales of $668,771 for the first quarter of 2007. We do not expect to perform significant services for this customer in the remainder of 2007. If we do not replace our largest customer’s revenue, our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity will be harmed. Any material reduction in revenues generated from any one of our largest customers could harm our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Cost of Sales
Costs of sales decreased by approximately $1,143,300 to $1,594,775 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $2,737,951 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease was due primarily to decreased activity in installation of equipment for our largest customer, which resulted in a decrease in the cost of sales of $1,015,278. There was not a decrease in the cost of equipment relative to the sales price of the equipment. The general operations department costs decreased by approximately $95,000 due to the decrease in installation activity. There was also a decrease of approximately $23,000 in satellite distribution costs and a $9,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $1,574,684 compared to $1,247,805 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase of approximately $326,879 resulted primarily from an increase in expenses incurred for outside consultants of $171,434 and increased expenses of $134,612 for options and warrants granted. Research and development in process decreased by $1,423,233 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $185,063 from $1,608,296 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease resulted primarily from recording a $1,363,126 expense equal to the excess of cost over book value for the acquisition of Video Processing Technology, Inc. during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. In addition, we incurred expenses for consultants rendering research and development services during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which was $75,681 less than such expenses incurred in the quarter, ended March 31, 2 006.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred interest expense of $773,831 compared to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $436,548. The increase of $337,283 resulted primarily from recording interest expense of $281,249 related to extinguishment of a portion of our senior secured convertible notes, and accretion of $83,334 of our unsecured convertible note, which was not outstanding during the first quarter of 2006. The interest expense consisted of interest of (i) $291,619 recorded to account for the accretion of note liability on our balance sheet, (ii) $281,249 from the extinguishment of a portion of our senior secured convertible notes due to conversion of a portion thereof to our common stock, (iii) interest payable on the notes in the amount of $52,961 and (iv) amortization of debt offering costs in the amount of $147,951.
Net Loss
We realized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $4,314,597 compared with a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $4,353,413. The nominal decrease in the net loss of $38,816 in light of a
19
decrease of $1,181,332 in net sales reflects decreased profit margins in work performed. This is further evidenced by the decrease in gross profit of only $38,156. Although research and development in process decreased by $1,423,233, the decrease was offset principally by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $326,879, an increase in interest expense of $337,283 and an increase of $410,390 in derivative valuation loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2007, we had cash of $321,121, total current assets of $3,240,166, total current liabilities of $7,061,399 and total stockholders' deficit of $3,750,872. Included in current liabilities is $5,870,900 which relates to the value of the embedded derivatives for the senior secured convertible notes and related warrants and the unsecured convertible note and warrants. Our current liabilities without considering the derivative liability was $1,190,499.
We experienced negative cash flow used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $525,295 compared to negative cash flow used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $744,314. The negative cash flow for the first quarter was met by sales of our common stock to investors pursuant to a private placement offering and by issuance of unsecured promissory notes. We expect to continue to experience negative operating cash flow as long as we continue our technology development program or until we increase our sales by adding new customers.
Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 contain a “going concern” qualification. As discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we have incurred losses and have not demonstrated the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our liabilities and sustain operations. Because of these conditions, our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
On May 16, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement and completed a financing with a consortium of four institutional funds. In the financing, we received $3,000,000 gross proceeds in cash pursuant to the issuance of senior secured convertible notes to the funds. We used the proceeds from this financing to support our CodecSys research and development and for general working capital purposes. At March 31, 2007, there was $1,750,000 of the original balance still outstanding as $1,250,000 had been converted to our common stock by the funds. The senior secured convertible notes are due May 16, 2008 and bear interest at 6% per annum. Interest-only payments are due semi-annually. The notes were originally convertible into 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share, convertible any time during the term of the notes, but are now convertible at $1.50 per share.
In connection with the financing, the funds received A warrants to acquire 600,000 shares of our common stock originally exercisable at $2.50 per share and B warrants to acquire 600,000 shares of our common stock originally exercisable at $4.00 per share. The A and B warrants are now exercisable at $1.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable any time for a five-year period beginning on the date of grant. We paid approximately $345,000 in cash for commissions, finders fees and expenses in securing this financing and that amount is being amortized over the term of the notes.
The $1.50 conversion price of the senior secured convertible notes and the $1.50 exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment pursuant to standard anti-dilution rights. These rights include (i) equitable adjustments in the event we effect a stock split, dividend, combination, reclassification or similar transaction; (ii) “weighted average” price protection adjustments in the event we issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than the then current market price of our common stock; and (iii) “full ratchet” price protection adjustments in the event we issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than $1.50 per share.
The senior secured convertible notes contain a prepayment provision allowing us to prepay, in certain limited circumstances, all or a portion of the notes, subject to a prepayment premium of 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be prepaid. Even if we elect to prepay the notes, the note holders may still convert any portion of the notes being prepaid pursuant to the conversion feature thereof.
The securities purchase agreement contains, among other things, covenants that may restrict our ability to obtain additional capital, to declare or pay a dividend or to engage in other business activities. A breach of any of these
20
covenants could result in a default under our senior secured convertible notes, in which event holders of the notes could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable, which would require us to secure additional debt or equity financing to repay the indebtedness or to seek bankruptcy protection or liquidation. The securities purchase agreement provides that we cannot do any of the following without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 85% of the principal amount of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes:
·
issue debt securities or incur, assume, suffer to exist, guarantee or otherwise become or remain, directly or indirectly, liable with respect to certain indebtedness;
·
except for those created under the securities purchase agreement, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, directly or indirectly, any liens, restrictions, security interests, claims, rights of another or other encumbrances on or with respect to any of our assets, of any kind, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom;
·
liquidate, wind up or dissolve (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution);
·
convey, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial portion of our properties or assets, other than transactions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, and transactions by non-material subsidiaries, if any;
·
cause, permit or suffer, directly or indirectly, any change in control transaction as defined in the senior secured convertible notes;
·
directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any transaction with any of our affiliates or any of our subsidiaries, if any, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of our business, upon fair and reasonable terms, that are fully approved by our Board of Directors, and that are no less favorable to us than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliate;
·
declare or pay a dividend or return any equity capital to any holder of any of our equity interests or authorize or make any other distribution to any holder of our equity interests in such holder’s capacity as such, or redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration any of our equity interests outstanding (or any options or warrants issued to acquire any of our equity interests); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the performance by us of our obligations under the warrants related to the senior secured convertible notes or the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the securities purchase agreement, or (ii) us and any of our subsidiaries, if any, from paying dividends in common stock issued by us or such subsidiary that is neither puttable by any holder thereof nor redeemable, so long as, in the case of any such common stock dividend made by any such subsidiary, the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of us in such subsidiary is not reduced as a result thereof; or
·
directly or indirectly, lend money or credit (by way of guarantee or otherwise) or make advances to any person, or purchase or acquire any stock, bonds, notes, debentures or other obligations or securities of, or any other interest in, or make any capital contribution to, any other person, or purchase or own a future contract or otherwise become liable for the purchase or sale of currency or other commodities at a future date in the nature of a futures contract, with very limited exceptions.
On November 2, 2006, we closed on a convertible note securities agreement dated October 28, 2006 with Mr. Frenkel, that provided we issue to Mr. Leon Frenkel (i) an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the $1,000,000 funding received by us on September 29, 2006, and (ii) four classes of warrants (A warrants, B warrants, C warrants and D warrants) which give Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock as described below. The unsecured convertible note is due October 16, 2009 and bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semi-annually in cash or in shares of our common stock if certain conditions are satisfied. The unsecured convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, convertible any time during the term of the note, and is subject to standard anti-dilution rights.
21
Under the convertible note securities purchase agreement, Mr. Frenkel has a right of first refusal to participate in any future funding on a pro rata basis until one year after the closing date. Beginning on the first anniversary of the note, we may prepay all or a portion of the note, including interest.
The A warrants and B warrants expire on January 11,2008. The C warrants and D warrants expire eighteen months and twenty-four months, respectively, after the effective date of a registration statement to be filed to register the subsequent sale of shares received from the exercise of the C warrants and D warrants. The A warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, the B warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, the C warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share, and the D warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time until their respective expiration dates and are subject to adjustment pursuant to standard anti-dilution rights.
Our largest customer in the three months ended March 31, 2007 generated net sales of $668,771. We do not anticipate that revenues from this customer will continue at the same level in the future. We have, however, obtained another customer that we anticipate will at least partially, if not completely, replace the revenues lost from our largest customer. However, in the three months ended March 31, 2007, we realized only a nominal amount of revenues from this new customer. We anticipate that our negative cash flow will diminish as this and other prospective new customers make projects and equipment available and as we are able to perform under their respective contracts.
Our monthly operating expenses currently exceed our monthly net sales by approximately $200,000 per month. This amount could increase significantly. Given our current level of CodecSys development activity, we expect our operating expenses will continue to outpace our net sales until we are able to generate additional revenue. Our business model contemplates that sources of additional revenue include (i) sales from our private communication network services, (ii) sales resulting from new customer contracts, and (iii) sales related to commercial applications of our CodecSys technology. Notwithstanding any additional revenue that may be realized for these sources, we will require additional capital in 2007.
Our long-term liquidity is dependent upon execution of our business model and the realization of additional revenue and working capital, as described above, and upon capital needed for continued development of the CodecSys technology. Commercialization and future applications of the CodecSys technology are expected to require additional capital estimated to be approximately $2.0 million annually for the foreseeable future. This estimate will increase or decrease depending on funds available to us. The availability of funding will also determine, in large measure, the timing and introduction of new product applications in the marketplace. Capital required for CodecSys is expected to come from internally generated cash flow from operations or from external financing.
To date, we have met our working capital needs through funds received from sales of our common stock, the convertible note financings described above, and borrowings under unsecured promissory notes. Until our operations become profitable, we must continue to sell equity or find another source of operating capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate working capital or additional financing at all or on terms favorable to us.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes or have any derivative financial instruments. As discussed above, however, the embedded conversion feature and prepayment option of our convertible notes and related warrants are deemed to be derivatives and are subject to quarterly “mark-to-market” valuations. Our principal exposure to market risk is currently confined to our cash and cash equivalents. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents, we do not believe that an increase in
22
market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure and are not exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2007 in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in our reports filed under the Exchange Act.
Our evaluation identified a deficiency that existed in the design or operation of our disclosure controls and procedures related to the identification and reporting of certain transactions required to be included in current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Our management has disclosed the deficiency to our audit committee and board of directors. Additional effort is needed to fully remedy the deficiency and we are continuing efforts to improve and strengthen our system of disclosure controls and procedures.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In addition to previously reported transactions, we have issued the following securities. In each of these issuances, no underwriters were involved and no commissions were paid in connection therewith.
On February 28 and March 30, 2007, we issued two unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $249,974 to one corporation. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6% and are due on December 31, 2007. The corporation was an accredited investor and was fully informed regarding its investment.
23
In the transaction, we relied on the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) thereof.
In April 2007, we issued a total of 83,335 shares of our common stock to three individuals in exchange for $125,000 pursuant to the terms of a private placement. Pursuant to the private placement, we also issued warrants to the same investors to purchase a total of 83,335 shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share and are exercisable for three years from the date of issuance. The investors were accredited investors and were fully informed regarding their investment. In the transaction, we relied on the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) thereof.
On April 20, 2007, we issued a total of 66,667 shares of our common stock to one institutional fund pursuant to the conversion of $100,000 principal amount of senior secured convertible notes at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The fund was an accredited investor and was fully informed regarding its investment. In the transaction, we relied on the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) thereof.
