CIMETRIX INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization– Cimetrix Incorporated, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (“Cimetrix” or the “Company”) are primarily engaged in the development and sale of open architecture, standards-based, computer software for controlling machine tools, robots and electronic equipment; communication products that allow communication between equipment on the factory floor and host systems; and semiconductor connectivity products that connect new semiconductor tools to each other and to host systems.
Basis of Presentation– The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cimetrix Europe, Inc. and Cimetrix Data Management Solutions, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial information of the Company as of March 31, 2009 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited, and the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 is derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they omit or condense footnotes and certain other information normally included in fina ncial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting conform with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2009. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $34,162,000 as of March 31, 2009. Management believes that its cost reduction efforts, including across the board pay cuts implemented on April 1, 2009 and Company furloughs scheduled for the remainder of 2009, combined with funds available from the bank loan facility and from short-term related party advances, will be sufficient to fund planned operations at lower revenue levels for the next twelve months. The Company also intends to seek additional financing in order to provide cash for operations in the event the Company does not meet its 2009 business plan, but there is no assurance the Company will be able to obtain such financing on terms favorable to the Company or at all. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects related to recovery and classification of assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R),Share Based Payments.Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award granted and recognized over the period in which the award vests.
The stock-based compensation expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 has been allocated to the various categories of operating costs and expenses in a manner similar to the allocation of payroll expense as follows:
| | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31 , |
|
| 2009 | | 2008 |
|
Cost of revenues | $ | 3,000 | | $ | 5,000 |
Sales and marketing | | 11,000 | | | 23,000 |
Research and development | | 1,000 | | | 7,000 |
General and administrative | | 15,000 | | | 54,000 |
|
Total stock-based compensation expense realized | | | | | |
and increase in net loss | $ | 30,000 | | $ | 89,000 |
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, there were no options or restricted stock granted to the Company’s employees.
As of March 31, 2009, the total future compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based awards not yet recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $57,000, and the weighted average period over which these awards are expected to be recognized was 1.46 years.
The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2009:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Weighted | | Weighted Average | | | Aggregate |
| | | | | Average | | Remaining | | | Intrinsic |
| Options | | | | Exercise Price | | Contract Term | | | Value |

March 31, 2009 | 3,526,000 | | | $ | 0.33 | | 3.75 | | $ | - |
The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.02 as of March 31, 2009, which would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had the option holders exercised their options as of that date.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, there were no restricted stock awards granted. The total fair value of restricted stock shares vesting in the three month periods of March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1,000 and $37,000, respectively.
7
Included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are liabilities of $19,000 and $48,000 respectively, representing vested restricted stock awards for which shares have not been issued. These amounts represent 167,111 and 169,611 vested restricted stock awards that have not been issued as of March 31, 2009 and December 31,2008,respectively.
NOTE 4 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus unissued restricted stock shares deemed as participating securities during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus unissued restricted stock shares deemed as participating securities during the period plus the weighted average common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period.
No stock options or warrants are included in the computation of weighted average number of shares for the periods ending March 31, 2009 and 2008 because the effect of their exercise would be antidilutive. At March 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding options, warrants and unissued restricted stock awards to purchase a total of 4,266,000 common shares of the Company that could have a future dilutive effect on the calculation of earnings per share.
NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

Senior Notes -At March 31, 2009, there were warrants issued to the Senior Note holders to purchase a total of 397,037 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The warrants expire on September 30, 2010.
During September 2008, the Company and the holders of the Senior Notes formerly due September 30, 2008 agreed to an extension of the maturity date to September 30, 2010. As part of this extension, the exercise price of the warrants associated with the Senior Notes was reduced to $0.05 per share and the expiration date of the warrants extended to September 30, 2010.
In connection with the offer to extend, the interest rate on the Senior Notes was adjusted from 8% to 10% and the warrant price was adjusted from an exercise price of $0.35 per share to $0.05 per share. The value of the net adjustment in warrant price has been recorded as a reduction of the principal amount of the Senior Notes and an increase to additional paid-in capital. This discount will be accreted and recognized as interest expense over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.
In conjunction with the offer to extend the maturity date, the Company also offered new Notes and Warrants (the “New Offer”). The Notes included in the New Offer bear interest at 10% per annum, payable April 1 and October 1 of each year, and are due and payable September 30, 2010. Purchasers of the Notes received a Warrant to purchase a share of restricted common stock of the Company for each $2.00 in principal amount of the Note. As of the May 15, 2009, the Company had secured at total of $287,000 in new Notes and issued warrants to purchase 143,000 shares of common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share.
Revolving Bank Line of Credit and Bank Loan -The Company and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, effective as of December 26, 2007. This agreement was amended and restated by a Loan and Security Agreement dated April 9, 2008 (as amended and restated, the “Facility Agreement”). On January 20, 2009, the Company and the Bank entered into a First Amendment to the Facility Agreement (the “Amendment”), effective December 25, 2008. The Amendment extended the maturity date of the Facility Agreement to December 24, 2009, reduced the applicable interest rate and certain other fees associated with the credit facility and required the Company to obtain an additional $250,000 in equity or subordinated debt financing.
Subject to the terms of the Facility Agreement, the Company may request that the Bank finance qualified accounts receivable (“Eligible Accounts”, and, after an advance is made, “Financed Receivables”) by extending credit to the Company in an amount equal to 80% or, in the case of receivables from non-U.S. account debtors, 90% of the Financed Receivable. The Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the advance rate for a particular Financed Receivable on a case by case basis.
The aggregate face amount of Financed Receivables may not exceed One Million Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($1,250,000), including a maximum of Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000) non-U.S. Financed Receivables. Advances under the Agreement are collateralized by substantially all operating assets of the Company.
Subject to the terms of the Amendment, the Company will pay a fixed finance charge equal to 7.75% per annum, multiplied by the face amount of the Financed Receivables. There is also a collateral handling fee of .30% per month of the face amount of the Financed Receivables. In the event of a default, both of these rates are increased.
The Company will repay each advance on the earliest of: (a) the date on which payment is received on the Financed Receivable, (b) the date on which the Financed Receivable is no longer an Eligible Account, (c) the date on which any Adjustment is asserted to the Financed Receivable (but only to the extent of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable remains otherwise an Eligible Account), (d)
9
the date on which there is a breach of any warranty or representation set forth in the Facility Agreement, or (e) the maturity date of the Facility Agreement of December 24, 2009. Each payment will also include all accrued finance charges and collateral handling fees with respect to such Advance and all other amounts then due and payable in accordance with the Agreement.
The Company, without the Bank’s consent, may not:
- Convey, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of its business or property other than in the ordinarycourse;
- Engage in any new line of business, permit a change in control or change its jurisdiction offormation;
- Merge or consolidate with another entity or acquire all of the capital stock or property of anotherentity;

NOTE 9 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2009, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. The FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. This proposal is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 and provide the additional disclosure requirements for second quarter 20 09.
In April 2009, the FASB released FSP SFAS 157-4, “Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed” (SFAS 157-4). This FSP provides additional guidance in determining whether a market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed for fair value measurement purposes as defined in SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157-4 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company plans to adopt the provisions of SFAS 157-4 during the second quarter 2009, but does not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB released FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” This proposal provides guidance in determining whether impairments in debt securities are other than temporary, and modifies the presentation and disclosures surrounding such instruments. This FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company plans to adopt the provisions of this Proposed Staff Position during second quarter 2009, but does not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The following is a brief discussion and explanation of significant financial data, which is presented to help the reader understand the results of the Company’s financial performance for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 and the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2009. The information includes discussions of sales, expenses, capital resources and other significant financial items.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The ensuing discussion and analysis contains both statements of historical fact and forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
11
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, generally are identified by the words “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates” or words of similar import. Examples of forward-looking statements include: (a) projections regarding sales, revenue, liquidity, capital expenditures and other financial items; (b) statements of the plans, beliefs and objectives of the Company or its management; (c) statements of future economic performance; and (d) assumptions underlying statements regarding the Company or its business. Forward-looking statements are subject to factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those factors and uncertainties described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” “Factors Affecting Future Results” and “ Risk Factors,” and those factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Cimetrix is a software company that designs, develops, markets and supports factory automation solutions worldwide. The Company offers software products and professional services tailored to meet the needs of equipment suppliers in the areas of advanced tool control, general purpose equipment connectivity, and specialized connectivity for 300mm semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities. Revenues are derived from the sales of software and services. Software includes the initial sale of software development kits, the ongoing runtime licenses for each machine shipped with Cimetrix software and annual contracts for software license updates and product support. Services include the sales of professional services that provide customers with software solutions typically incorporating Cimetrix software products. While Cimetrix products are installed in a wide range of industries, the Company has focused ove r the past several years on the global semiconductor and electronics industries, which includes the growing solar photovoltaic (PV) market.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. The following accounting policies significantly affect the way the financial statements are prepared.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues from two primary sources, software and professional services. Software revenues are reported in two categories, the sale of new software licenses and software license updates and product support. The Company has “off-the-shelf” software packages in the machine control and communications product lines. Machine control products include items such as CODE 6.0, CIMControl, and CIMulation. Communications products include items such as CIM300, CIMConnect and CIMPortal. New software licenses include the sale of software development kits as well as the runtime license fees associated with deployment of the Company’s software products. Software license updates and product support are typically annual contracts with customers that are paid in advance, which provides the customer access to new software releases, maintenance releases, patches and technical support pers onnel. Professional service sales are derived from the sale of services to design, develop and implement custom software applications.
Before the Company recognizes revenue, the following criteria must be met:
1) | Evidence of a financial arrangement or agreement must exist between the Company and its customer. Purchase orders and signed OEM contracts are two examples of items accepted by the Company to meet this criterion. |
2) | Delivery of the products or services must have occurred. The Company treats either physical or electronic delivery as having met this requirement. It is the policy of the Company to provide its customers a 30-day right to return. However, because the amount of returns hasbeen insignificant, the Company recognizes revenue immediately upon the shipment of the product. If the number of returns were to increase, the Company would establish a reserve based on a percentage of sales to account for any such returns. |
3) | Collectability of the sale is reasonably assured and receipt is probable. Collectability of a sale is determined on a customer-by-customer basis. Typically the Company sells to large corporations which have demonstrated an ability to pay. If it is determined that a customer may not have the ability to pay, revenue is deferred until the payment is collected. |
4) | The price of the products or services is fixed and measurable. |
12
The software component of the Company’s products is an integral part of its functionality. As such, the Company applies the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,Software Revenue Recognitionas modified by SOP 98-9.
The Company’s products are fully functional at the time of shipment. The software components of the Company’s products do not require significant production, modification or customization. As such, revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that the criteria outlined above are met.
Revenue related to services is recognized as services are performed if there is not an extended contract related to such services. If the services are provided pursuant to a contract that extends over a period of time, the revenue from services is recorded ratably over the contract period, generally using the percentage of completion method. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident.
If a sale involves a bundled package of new software licenses, software license updates, product support, and professional services, and the Company has vendor specific objective evidence of fair value among arrangement elements in accordance with SOP 97-2, then revenue is first allocated to software license updates and product support and professional service obligations at fair market value, and the remaining amount is applied to new software license revenue. Assuming all of the above criteria have been met, revenue from the new software license portion of the package is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from material software license updates and product support contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is generally 12 months. Revenue from professional services is recognized as services are performed. Standard payment terms for sales are net 30 days for sales in the Unite d States and net 45 to 60 days for foreign customers. On occasion, extended payment terms will be offered. If the Company provides payment terms greater than 90 days and collection is not reasonably assured, then revenues are generally recognized as payments are received.
In the event that the Company does not have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value among arrangement elements in a bundled package of products and services, the Company reports the revenue in a single revenue line presentation in the consolidated statements of operations in accordance with SOP 97-2.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective application method. Under this transition method, the Company recorded compensation expense of $30,000 and $89,000 on a straight-line basis for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, for: (a) the vesting of options granted prior to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and previously presented in the pro-forma footnote disclosures), and (b) stock-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R)).
13
The stock-based compensation expense has been allocated to the various categories of costs and expenses in a manner similar to the allocation of payroll expense. There was no stock compensation expense capitalized during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, there were no options or restricted stock awards granted. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, options to purchased 585,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the Company’s employees with a weighted average exercise price of $0.17.
The fair value of stock options is computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which model utilizes inputs that are subject to change over time, and includes assumptions made by the Company with respect to the volatility of the market price of the Company’s common stock, risk-free interest rates, requisite service periods, and the assumed life and vesting of stock options and stock-based awards. As new options or stock-based awards are granted and vest, additional non-cash compensation expense will be recorded by the Company.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. The Company offers credit terms on the sale of its products to a majority of its customers and requires no collateral from these customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and expected collectability of all accounts receivable. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts, which is determined based on historical experience and a specific review of customer balances, was $34,000 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated cumulative undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or group of assets is less than the carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair market value of the long-lived asset.
There were no impairment adjustments made in the three months ended March 31, 2009
Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating the Company’s actual current income tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for income tax and financial accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, the net amount of which is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. Key assumptions used in estimating a valuation allowance include potential future taxable income, projected income tax rates, expiration dates of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. At March 31, 2009, the Company had fully reduced its net deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance. If the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recordedamount, an adjustment to reduce the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.
14
At March 31, 2009, the Company has not identified any material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements. The Company classifies interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in its consolidated statements of operations under general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Operations Review
The following table sets forth the percentage of costs and expenses to total revenues derived from the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

The Company’s operating results for the three-month period March 31, 2009 reflect the current challenging semiconductor industry conditions and a continuing recessionary global economy. As revenues continued to decrease, the Company continued to manage the cost structure of the Company, seeking to keep operating costs and expenses in line.
The Company reported a net loss of $324,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $379,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The net loss for both three-month periods includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense and non-cash depreciation and amortization expense. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, stock-based compensation expense was $30,000 and $89,000, respectively, and depreciation and amortization expense was $25,000 and $54,000, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $91,000 and $483,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Results of Operations
Revenues
The following table summarizes revenues (including related party revenues) by category and as a percent of total revenues:
| | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2009 | | 2008 |
|
New software licenses | $ | 196,000 | 24% | | $ | 691,000 | 51% |
Software license updates and | | | | | | | | | |
product support | | 234,000 | 28% | | | 298,000 | 22% |
|
Total software revenues | | 430,000 | 52% | | | 989,000 | 73% |
|
Professional services | | 393,000 | 48% | | | 366,000 | 27% |
|
Total revenues | $ | 823,000 | 100% | | $ | 1,355,000 | 100% |
Total revenues decreased by $532,000, or 39%, to $823,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $1,355,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. As the table above indicates, the decrease in net sales in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the prior year quarter, was attributable to decreases in new software and software update revenues as our customers responded to the global economic crisis by curtailing expenditures. The market for semiconductor 300mm capital equipment, our largest source of revenue for the past several years, virtually came to a stop in the first quarter of 2009. Customer shipments of 300mm equipment decreased more than 95% year-over-year. The decrease in software license revenues in the current year compared to last year can be attributed to lower revenues from the sale of software development kits to new customers, the decrease in software license revenue as sociated with machine shipments and the decrease in revenue associated with software license updates and product support as some customers went out of business or could no longer afford to purchase annual support. To counteract the dramatic decline in software revenues, the Company aggressively pursued opportunities to sell its professional services capabilities and was fortunate to obtain a number of customer contracts that enabled the company to post a year-over-year increase in professional services. Professional services revenue increased by $27,000, or 7%, to $393,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $366,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Total software revenues decreased to $196,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $691,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The mix of revenue categories is subject to change on a quarter-to-quarter basis, and it is difficult to predict the timing and probability of “design win” opportunities. Due to the industry slowdown and reluctance to initiate new projects, Cimetrix did not gain any significant “design wins” during the first quarter of 2009.
Cost of Revenues
The Company's cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 45%, compared to 46% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cost of revenues decreased $250,000, or 40%, to $370,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $620,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. These decreases were a combination of lower revenues, as discussed above and reduced costs, including head count reductions as a result of a reduction in force in May 2008. Cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues will vary from period to period depending on the mix of software and professional service revenues, the type of service projects completed, the pricing strategy for the projects, the extent of utilization of outside resources, and other factors.
16
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses decreased $70,000, or 22%, to $244,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $314,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Sales and marketing expenses increased to 30% of total revenues for the three month ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 23% of total revenues in the prior year period, primarily because of the decrease in revenues. Sales and marketing expenses reflect the direct payroll and related travel expenses of the Company’s sales and marketing staff, the development of product brochures and marketing materials, costs associated with press releases, branding, search engine optimization, website design improvements and costs related to the Company’s representation at industry trade shows.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased $80,000, or 32%, to $172,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $252,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Research and development expenses include only direct costs for wages, benefits, materials, and education of technical personnel involved in product development. All indirect costs such as rents, utilities, depreciation and amortization are included in general and administrative expenses, as discussed below. Research and development increased as a percentage net sales from 19% in the first quarter of 2008 to 21% in the first quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of the decline in revenues.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased $171,000, or 36%, to $304,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $475,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses include all direct costs for administrative and accounting personnel, and all rents and utilities for maintaining Company offices. The majority of these decreases were a combination of (a) lower costs associated with Stock-based compensation as prior year awards fully vest, expire or were forfeited, (b) renegotiated reduced rent for our principal administrative offices in Salt Lake City and termination and subsequent closure of our Tempe, Arizona facility closed on December 31, 2008, and (c) reduced costs associated with salaries, benefits, professional fees, and consulting fees.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $29,000, or 54%, to $25,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $54,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in depreciation and amortization resulted from aging equipment becoming fully depreciated and the impairment write-down of the Customer Relations Intangible Asset during the period ended December 31, 2008.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest and other income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by $1,000, to $0, from $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in interest income resulted from lower levels of cash reserves during the current year.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by $13,000, to $33,000, from $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase resulted mostly from additional borrowings represented by the new Senior Notes secured in December 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, and the increased interest rate on existing Senior Notes from 8% to 10% in conjunction with the extension of the maturity date of the Senior Notes from September 30, 2008 to September 30, 2010.
17
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2009, the Company had current assets of $511,000, including cash and cash equivalents of $25,000, and current liabilities of $1,397,000, resulting in a working capital deficiency of $886,000. Excluding deferred revenue of $412,000, which requires the Company to provide services and support but does not represent a scheduled obligation requiring the outlay of Company funds, and accrued expenses of $19,000, which will be paid through the issuance of the Company’s common stock for vested restricted stock awards, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by $455,000 at March 31, 2009.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had notes payable and long-term debt totaling $1,176,000 net of discount, comprised of the following:
| | | | |
10% Senior Notes due September 30, 2010 | | $ | 733,000 | |
Secured bank loan due December 25, 2009 | | | 401,000 | |
Other | | | 44,000 | |
Senior Note Discount | | | (2,000 | ) |
Total | | | 1,176,000 | |
Less current portion | | | 422,000 | |
Long-term portion | | $ | 754,000 | |
Included in the Senior Notes Payable at September 30, 2010, are Senior Notes outstanding of $299,000 held by officers, employees or their affiliates.
Senior Notes -At March 31, 2009, there were warrants issued to the Senior Note holders to purchase a total of 397,037 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The warrants expire on September 30, 2010.
During September 2008, the Company and the holders of the Senior Notes formerly due September 30, 2008 agreed to an extension of the maturity date to September 30, 2010. As part of this extension, the exercise price of the warrants associated with the Senior Notes was reduced to $0.05 per share and the expiration date of the warrants extended to September 30, 2010.
In connection with the offer to extend, the interest rate on the Senior Notes was adjusted from 8% to 10% and the warrant price was adjusted from an exercise price of $0.35 per share to $0.05 per share. The value of the net adjustment in warrant price has been recorded as a reduction of the principal amount of the Senior Notes and an increase to additional paid-in capital. This discount will be accreted and recognized as interest expense over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.
In conjunction with the offer to extend the maturity date, the Company also offered new Notes and Warrants (the “New Offer”). The Notes included in the New Offer bear interest at 10% per annum, payable April 1 and October 1 of each year, and are due and payable September 30, 2010. Purchasers of the Notes received a Warrant to purchase a share of restricted common stock of the Company for each $2.00 in principal amount of the Note. As of the May 15, 2009, the Company had secured at total of $287,000 in new Notes and issued warrants to purchase 143,000 shares of common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share.
Revolving Bank Line of Credit and Bank Loan -The Company and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, effective as of December 26, 2007. This agreement was amended and restated by a Loan and Security Agreement dated April 9, 2008 (as amended and restated, the “Facility Agreement”). On January 20, 2009, the Company and the Bank entered into a First Amendment to the Facility Agreement (the “Amendment”), effective December 25, 2008. The Amendment extended the maturity date of the Facility Agreement to December 24, 2009, reduced theapplicable interest rate and certain other fees associated with the credit facility and required the Company to obtain an additional $250,000 in equity or subor dinated debt financing.
18
Subject to the terms of the Facility Agreement, the Company may request that the Bank finance qualified accounts receivable (“Eligible Accounts”, and, after an advance is made, “Financed Receivables”) by extending credit to the Company in an amount equal to 80% or, in the case of receivables from non-U.S. account debtors, 90% of the Financed Receivable. The Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the advance rate for a particular Financed Receivable on a case by case basis.
The aggregate face amount of Financed Receivables may not exceed One Million Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($1,250,000), including a maximum of Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000) non-U.S. Financed Receivables. Advances under the Agreement are collateralized by substantially all operating assets of the Company.
Subject to the terms of the Amendment, the Company will pay a fixed finance charge equal to 7.75% per annum, multiplied by the face amount of the Financed Receivables. There is also a collateral handling fee of .30% per month of the face amount of the Financed Receivables. In the event of a default, both of these rates are increased.
The Company will repay each advance on the earliest of: (a) the date on which payment is received on the Financed Receivable, (b) the date on which the Financed Receivable is no longer an Eligible Account, (c) the date on which any Adjustment is asserted to the Financed Receivable (but only to the extent of the Adjustment if the Financed Receivable remains otherwise an Eligible Account), (d) the date on which there is a breach of any warranty or representation set forth in the Facility Agreement, or (e) the maturity date of the Facility Agreement of December 24, 2009. Each payment will also include all accrued finance charges and collateral handling fees with respect to such Advance and all other amounts then due and payable in accordance with the Agreement.
The Company, without the Bank’s consent, may not:
- Convey, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of its business or property other than in the ordinarycourse;
- Engage in any new line of business, permit a change in control or change its jurisdiction offormation;
- Merge or consolidate with another entity or acquire all of the capital stock or property of anotherentity;
- Create, incur, assume or be liable for any new indebtedness other than permitted indebtedness asdefined in the Agreement;

Historically, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $34,162,000 and total stockholders’ deficit of $1,478,000. At March 31, 2009, the Company had current assets of $511,000, including cash and cash equivalents of $25,000, and current liabilities of $1,397,000, resulting in a working capital deficit of
19
$886,000. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $324,000 and net cash used in operating activities of $91,000. Management believes that its cost reduction efforts, including across the board pay cuts implemented on April 1, 2009 and Company furloughs scheduled for the remainder of 2009, combined with funds available from the bank loan facility and from short-term related party advances, will be sufficient to fund planned operations at lower revenue levels for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that operations and operating cash flows will continue at the current levels or improve in the near future. If the Company is unable to obtain profitable operations and positive operating cash flows sufficient to meet scheduled debt obligations, it may need to seek additional funding or be forced to scale back its development plans or to significantly reduce or terminate operations.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $91,000, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $483,000 for the same three-month period in 2008. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of 2009 over the same period in 2008 was a combination of the reduction in cash compensation paid to executive and management employees, reduction in force, reduced headquarter and satellite office rent, and other reduced operating costs. Additionally, the Company deferred payment on a significant number of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the fourth quarter of 2007 which were subsequently paid in the first three months of 2008.
Net cash provided by investing activities, consisted of the sale of property and equipment, during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $12,000. There was no cash used in or provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $89,000, comprised of borrowings from the bank loan of $695,000 proceeds from the sale of Senior Notes of $100,000, partially offset by bank loan repayments of $701,000 and payments of other debt of $5,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $424,000, comprised of net increases in borrowings from the bank loan of $425,000 and short-term related party advances of $100,000, partially offset by payments of other debt of $1,000 and repayment of short-term related party advances of $100,000.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and in addition to the stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, other significant non-cash transactions were recorded on the Company’s books. In exchange for New Senior Notes, two vendors cancelled accounts payable amounts due from the Company to the vendors totaling $50,000. In exchange for compensation accrued and not paid, the Company reduced accrued expenses related to accrued salaries for two employees of the Company and issued New Senior Notes totaling $11,000.
The Company has not been adversely affected by inflation. Revenues from foreign customers were $536,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing 65% of the Company’s total revenues, compared to $583,000, or 43%, of total revenues during the same period in 2008. There are potential economic risks inherent in foreign trade. To minimize the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company’s export sales are transacted in United States dollars.
Factors Affecting Future Results
Total revenues for the first three months of 2009 decreased 39% compared to the first three months of 2008, reflecting declines in software and support revenue due to negative industry conditions and the gobal economic downturn. Revenues from new software licenses include sales of software development kits and runtime revenue associated with OEM customer machine shipments. Runtime revenue decreased year-over-year as new customer shipments have been reduced due to the overall decline in capital equipment shipments by the Company’s customers. Sales of software development kits are difficult for the Company to forecast, as the Company is highly dependent on the timing of the
20
decision of equipment suppliers to initiate a new machine development program and to utilize the Company’s products. While the Company believes it continues to win the majority of the available software development kit opportunities for its products, it appears that fewer companies are initiating new programs for semiconductor 300mm capital equipment, which has presented fewer opportunities for the Company. In addition, there is increased price pressure as some of the Company’s competitors have lowered their prices in an effort to more effectively compete with the Company.
The Company continues to focus on incrementally expanding its customer base and product line in order to increase revenues. This includes the Company’s efforts to promote the use of SEMI Standards in other markets, particularly the solar-photovoltaic market. Industry analysts have forecasted a decline in semiconductor capital equipment spending by 45% in 2009. This projection will likely be exceeded as a result of the dramatic effect on capital expenditures of the current global economic downturn and uncertainty in the credit markets. This directly affects the Company as general machine shipments are lower year-over-year, and many equipment suppliers customers will “push out” or delay new projects.
In the face of continued semiconductor industry difficulties, effective April 1, 2009, the Company implemented a further cost reduction program, including across the board pay cuts, furloughs scheduled through the end of 2009, and suspension of the Company’s matching 401(k) program to bring expenses in-line with the anticipated slowdown in revenues while it awaits the expected industry upturn. The executive and management team members continue to receive only a portion of their compensation under a policy first implemented in April 2008.
The Company has been investing in its new CIMPortal product line, which meets the new SEMI Standards for EDA (Interface A). While this new standard has been promulgated by SEMI, it is not yet a common requirement by end users in the marketplace. The timing of the widespread adoption of this standard by the semiconductor industry will directly affect the market opportunities for the Company’s CIMPortal product line. The Company believes that if the new SEMI Standards for EDA begin to obtain market acceptance, the number of software development kit opportunities will increase along with the resulting runtime license revenue.
The Company has also been investing in pursuing the Japanese market for its products with its distribution partner. However, the Japanese semiconductor market has been hit very hard by the global economic downturn and the Company has very limited visibility into future revenues from Japan or the financial viability of its distributor.
The Company continues to pursue customers through its Global Services group, which is available to assist customers by providing professional services and complete turnkey solutions. The ability of the Company to provide both products and services to its customer base is becoming a more important factor as customers seek to limit the number of suppliers and prefer single source responsibility. The experience gained delivering professional services also provides valuable inputs to new product development pipelines.
The Company’s future operating results and financial condition are difficult to predict and will be affected by a number of factors. The markets for the Company’s products are highly specialized. There can be no assurance that the markets for industrial motion control that are served by the Company will continue to grow, or that the Company’s existing and new products will satisfy the requirements of those markets and achieve a successful level of customer acceptance.
Because of these and other factors, past financial performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate future operating results.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not currently involved in any pending litigation.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company has disclosed risk factors in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 which could materially affect its business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risk factors discussed below update these risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in that Form 10-K.
Difficulties in the semiconductor industry and worsening global economic conditions have had a significant negative impact on the Company’s operations, and such negative conditions may continue for the foreseeable future.
The Company’s results of operations reflect current challenging semiconductor industry demand conditions and a worsening global economy. The Company’s management is currently seeking to manage the cost structure of the Company in the face of decreased revenues, but the Company is unable to predict when industry conditions will improve. If conditions do not improve or continue to deteriorate, the Company will be adversely affected.
The Company experienced increases in its operating loss and net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009, which negatively impacted its liquidity.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $34,162,000, and total stockholders’ deficit of $1,478,000. At March 31, 2009, the Company had current assets of $511,000, including cash and cash equivalents of $25,000, and current liabilities of $1,397,000, resulting in a working capital deficiency of $886,000. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $324,000 and net cash used in operating activities of $91,000. The Company does not currently have the assets available to continue to fund such losses and the use of cash in operating activities. In addition, the Company’s principal credit facility, with an outstanding balance of $401,000 as of March 31, 2009 is currently due December 24, 2009. In the event that the Company is unable to extend this credit facility or obtain a replacement facility, it will not have the funds necessary to repay this o bligation when due. In that case, it will be obligated to seek alternative financing or to substantially reduce or terminate operations. If the Company is unable to achieve operating cash flows sufficient to permit it to meet its obligations, both short-term and long-term, it will not be able to continue to operate.
