DRI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we will refer to DRI Corporation as “DRI,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our.” DRI was incorporated in 1983. DRI’s common stock, $.10 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market(TM) under the symbol “TBUS.”
Through its business units and wholly-owned subsidiaries, DRI designs, manufactures, sells, and services information technology products either directly or through manufacturers’ representatives or distributors. DRI produces passenger information communication products under the Talking Bus®, TwinVision®, VacTell® and Mobitec® brand names, which are sold to transportation vehicle equipment customers worldwide. Customers include municipalities, regional transportation districts, federal, state and local departments of transportation, and bus manufacturers. The Company markets primarily to customers located in North and South America, the Far East, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and Europe.
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE
The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and information (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Annual Report”). The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company elected to adopt the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 as of January 1, 2009 on a prospective basis for recognizing revenue on transactions involving multiple element arrangements. ASU 2009-13 amends ASC Topic 605-25 to require companies to allocate the overall consideration in multiple-element arrangements to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or other third-party evidence of the selling price, and to prohibit use of the residual method to allocate arrangement consideration among units of accounting. ASU 2009-14 amends ASC Topic 985-605 to exclude from its requirements (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality. Under ASU 2009-14, if a multiple element arrangement includes a tangible product with both essential and nonessential software components, the arrangement consideration should first be allocated to the software and nonsoftware components based on the relative selling price method under ASC Topic 605-25 as amended by ASU 2009-13. Amounts previously reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 have been adjusted in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to reflect the impact of the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 as of January 1, 2009.
There were no changes in significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Product Warranties
The Company provides a limited warranty for its products, generally for a period of one to five years. The Company’s standard warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the customer. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product sales are recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The following table summarizes product warranty activity during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no new accounting pronouncements issued that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Company does not engage in hedging activities and does not have any derivative instruments in place. The Company’s only non-financial asset measured on a recurring basis is goodwill. This non-financial asset is measured for impairment annually on the Company’s measurement date at the reporting unit level using Level 3 inputs. The Company’s annual measurement date for goodwill is December 31, 2010 and as such, no fair value measurements have been made during the six months ended June 30, 2010. No events have occurred that would indicate an impairment of goodwill.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation. We believe the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their estimated fair values at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 due to their short maturities. We believe the carrying value of our lines of credit and loans payable approximate the estimated fair value for debt with similar terms, interest rates, and remaining maturities currently available to companies with similar credit ratings at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, the carrying value and estimated fair value of our long-term debt were $6.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The estimate of fair value of our long-term debt is based on debt with similar terms, interest rates, and remaining maturities currently available to companies with similar credit ratings at each measurement date.
(2) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The decrease in goodwill from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 of approximately $810,000 is due solely to foreign exchange rate fluctuation.

(6) LINES OF CREDIT AND LOANS PAYABLE
(a) Domestic line of credit and loan payable
Our wholly-owned subsidiaries Digital Recorders, Inc. and TwinVision of North America, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) have in place a three-year, asset-based lending agreement (as amended, the “PNC Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), which matures on June 30, 2011. DRI has agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Borrowers under the PNC Agreement. The PNC Agreement provides up to $8.0 million in borrowings under a revolving credit facility and is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible U.S. assets of the Company. Borrowing availability under the PNC Agreement is based upon an advance rate equal to 85% of eligible domestic accounts receivable of the Borrowers, plus 75% of eligible foreign accounts receivable of the Borrowers, limited to the lesser of $2.5 million in the aggregate or the aggregate amount of coverage under Acceptable Credit Insurance Policies (as defined in the PNC Agreement) that the Borrowers have with respect to eligible foreign receivables, as determined by PNC in its reasonable discretion, plus 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of inventory of the Borrowers, limited to $750,000. The PNC Agreement provides for one of two possible interest rates on borrowings: (1) an interest rate based on the rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”) at which U.S. dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market (a “Eurodollar Rate Loan”) or (2) interest at a rate (the “Domestic Rate”) based on either (a) the base commercial lending rate of PNC, or (b) the open rate for federal funds transactions among members of the Federal Reserve System, as determined by PNC (a “Domestic Rate Loan”). The actual annual interest rate for borrowings under the PNC Agreement is (a) the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.25% for a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (b) the Domestic Rate plus 1.75% for Domestic Rate Loans. Interest is calculated on the principal amount of borrowings outstanding, subject to a minimum principal amount of $3.5 million. The PNC Agreement contains certain covenants and provisions with which we and the Borrowers must comply on a quarterly basis. We were in compliance with all covenants of the PNC Agreement at June 30, 2010. If all outstanding obligations under the PNC Agreement are paid before the end of the three-year term, the Borrowers will be obligated to pay an early termination fee of up to $160,000, depending on the time the early termination occurs. At June 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balance on the revolving credit facility was approximately $4.1 million and remaining borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was approximately $1.8 million.
Pursuant to terms of a loan agreement (the “BHC Agreement”) with BHC Interim Funding III, L.P. (“BHC”), the Borrowers have outstanding a $4.8 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) that matures June 30, 2011 and which is included in current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. DRI agreed to guarantee the Borrowers’ obligations under the BHC Agreement. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12.75% and is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. Additionally, the Term Loan is secured by a pledge of all outstanding common stock of the Borrowers and Robinson Turney International, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRI, and a pledge of 65% of the outstanding common stock of all our foreign subsidiaries other than Mobitec Pty Ltd., Castmaster Mobitec India Private Ltd., and Mobitec Far East Pte. Ltd. The BHC Agreement contains certain covenants and provisions with which we and the Borrowers must comply on a quarterly basis. We were in compliance with all covenants of the BHC Agreement at June 30, 2010. The Borrowers are subject to a termination fee which escalates over time to a maximum of $698,000. The amount of the termination fee due is dependent upon the date of repayment, if any, with the maximum amount of $698,000 due if the Term Loan is not paid until the maturity date. We are recording the maximum termination fee on the Term Loan ratably over the term of the BHC Agreement as interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded approximately $117,000 and $123,000, respectively, of interest expense related to the Term Loan termination fee, all of which is included in current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.
Management believes there is a possibility that the Company may not be in compliance with some of the covenants required to be maintained under terms of the PNC and BHC Agreements in the fourth quarter of 2010. Pursuant to terms of those agreements, a covenant violation is a breach of the loan agreement and the lender then has the right to demand immediate payment of all outstanding balances due under the agreement. Management has discussed this matter with both PNC and BHC and expects to request waivers or
9
amendments, if necessary. Although management expects, based on past experience, both PNC and BHC to issue a waiver or amendment, we can provide no assurance of such.

(8) PREFERRED STOCK
On February 2, 2010, the Company’s board of directors adopted an amendment to DRI’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, pursuant to which authorized shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $.10 per share, were designated as follows: 166 shares are designated as Series AAA Redeemable, Nonvoting Preferred Stock (“Series AAA Preferred”), 30,000 shares are designated as Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”), 80 shares are designated as Series E Redeemable Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”), 725 shares are designated as Series G Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series G Preferred”), 125 shares are designated as Series H Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series H Preferred”), 500 shares are designated as Series K Senior Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series K Preferred”), and 4,968,404 shares remain undesignated. As of June 30, 2010, we had outstanding 166 shares of Series AAA Preferred, 80 shares of Series E Preferred, 500 shares of Series G Preferred, 72 shares of Series H Preferred, and 319 shares of Series K Preferred. There are no shares of Series D Preferred outstanding.
(9) PER SHARE AMOUNTS
The basic net income (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding and shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of Common Stock for all potentially dilutive equities outstanding. The Company’s convertible preferred stock, options and warrants represent the only potentially dilutive equities outstanding.

The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding excludes 1,628,629 and 2,682,177 stock options and warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, because these securities would not have been dilutive for these periods due to the fact that the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our Common Stock for these periods or the total assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method resulted in negative incremental shares. No recognition was given to potentially dilutive securities aggregating 4,898,376 and 4,369,437 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Due to the net loss applicable to common shareholders of DRI Corporation in both periods, such securities would have been anti-dilutive.

(12) INCOME TAXES
As a result of its net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has significant deferred tax assets. The Company reduces its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance when, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that a significant portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s total deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2010, are $9.2 million and its deferred tax valuation allowance is $7.7 million.
As a result of intercompany sales that give rise to uncertain tax positions related to transfer pricing, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded an increase to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $19,000. These increases, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased the liability for unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $76,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
The income tax expense or benefit reported for interim periods is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year and also includes expense or benefit recorded to the provision for uncertain tax positions in foreign jurisdictions. Our projected annual effective tax rate is sensitive to variations in the estimated and actual level of annual pre-tax income, variations in the tax jurisdictions in which the pre-tax income is recognized, and various discrete income tax expenses that may need to be recorded from time to time. As these variations occur, the projected annual effective tax rate and the resulting income tax expense or benefit recorded in interim periods can vary significantly from period to period. Income tax (expense) benefit as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes was approximately 29.2% and 11.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, income tax (expense) benefit as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes was approximately 25.8% and (1.9%), respectively. The changes in the rates are primarily related to changes in the mix of income (loss) before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by full valuation allowance and those that are not.
(13) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Salaries and related costs of certain engineering personnel used in the development of software meet the capitalization criteria of ASC Topic 985-20, “Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed.” The total amount of software development costs capitalized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $563,000 and $1.2 million, respectively.
(14) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Pursuant to terms of the promissory note entered into in connection with the acquisition of the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding interests of Mobitec Brazil Ltda (see Note 6), Mobitec EP elected to not make the Installment Payment of $162,500 that was due July 30, 2010. The missed Installment Payment will be deferred until the end date of the promissory note, which is thirty (30) days after the close of the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2012, and will bear interest at an annual rate of 9% beginning July 30, 2010.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THAT ARE IN ITEM 1 OF THIS QUARTERLY REPORT AND WITH THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THAT ARE IN THE 2009 ANNUAL REPORT.
Business — General
Through its business units and wholly-owned subsidiaries, DRI designs, manufactures, sells, and services information technology products either directly or through manufacturers’ representatives or distributors. DRI produces passenger information communication products under the Talking Bus®, TwinVision®, VacTell® and Mobitec® brand names, which are sold to transportation vehicle equipment customers worldwide.
DRI’s customers generally fall into one of two broad categories: end-user customers or original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”). DRI’s end-user customers include municipalities, regional transportation districts, state and local departments of transportation, transit agencies, public, private, or commercial operators of buses and vans, and rental car agencies. DRI’s OEM customers are the manufacturers of transportation rail, bus and van-like vehicles. The relative percentage of sales to end-user customers compared to OEM customers varies widely from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, and within products and product lines comprising DRI’s mix of total sales in any given period.

COMPARISON OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
Net Sales and Gross Profit.Our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010, increased $4.1 million or 18.8%, from $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase resulted from higher sales by our foreign subsidiaries of $4.1 million partially offset by lower U.S. domestic sales of $87,000.
The increase in sales by our foreign subsidiaries resulted primarily from increased sales in the Asia-Pacific market, particularly in India, where fulfillment of significant orders received in prior periods continued in the second quarter of 2010, and in the South America market, particularly in Brazil, as that market has recovered from the economic issues that carried into the first half of 2009. The increase in sales in the Asia-Pacific and South America markets were partially offset by decreased sales in Europe, where fulfillment of large orders for end-users in Dubai in the second quarter of 2009 resulted in higher sales in the prior year. The increase in international sales is inclusive of an increase due to foreign currency fluctuations for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 of approximately $1.1 million. DRI does not use currency hedging tools. Each of our foreign subsidiaries primarily conducts business in their respective functional currencies thereby reducing the impact of foreign currency transaction differences. If the U.S. dollar strengthens compared to the foreign currencies converted, it is possible the total sales reported in U.S. dollars could decline.
The slight decrease in U.S. sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009 is primarily attributable to the timing of order receipts from and delivery to our OEM and end-user customers. We reported increased sales of engineered systems and related products and services in the second quarter of 2010 due primarily to fulfillment of a large order to an OEM. Conversely, we reported higher sales of electronic information display systems (“EIDS”) and related products in the prior year as a result of fulfillment of a large order to an OEM in the second quarter of 2009.
Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $7.8 million increased $1.1 million, or 16.5%, from $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in gross profit was attributed to an increase in foreign gross profits of $702,000 and an increase in U.S. domestic gross profits of $399,000. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit was 30.4% of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 31.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
The U.S. gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 31.0% as compared to 26.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales is primarily due to (1) a reduction of material costs on certain engineered system products achieved through a change in suppliers, (2) price increases to certain customers, and (3) a change in product mix whereby we sold more higher margin product in the second quarter of 2010 when compared to the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, the aforementioned large EIDS order which increased sales in the second quarter of 2009 produced lower margins than typically realized on similar product sales and also contributed to reporting a higher gross profit percentage in the second quarter of 2010.
The international gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 30.0% as compared to 34.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. As discussed herein, the increase in sales by our international operations occurred primarily as a result of sales in India and in the South America market. The India market, where the largest sales increase in the second quarter of 2010 occurred, has become one of the most competitive markets our international operations serve. While we have been able to increase sales in India, due to the strong competition, our pricing for products we sell in that market is significantly lower than in most of the other markets we serve. As a result, our gross profit on sales in the India market is significantly lower than the gross profit we typically realize on such product sales in other markets. With such a large amount of the international sales increase in the second quarter of 2010 coming from sales in India, our gross profit as a percentage of sales has decreased when compared to the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in gross profit percentage in India was partially offset by higher margins in the South America market, particularly in Brazil, where economic conditions have allowed for increased pricing for certain of our products and strengthening of the Brazilian real against the U.S. Dollar resulted in lower material costs in the second quarter of 2010.
16
We anticipate that improvements in gross margins could occur through more frequent sales of a combination of products and services offering a broader “project” solution, and through the introduction of technology improvements as well as the favorable influence of global purchasing initiatives. However, period-to-period, overall gross margins will still reflect the variations in sales mix and geographical dispersion of product sales.
Selling, General and Administrative.Our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010, of $5.8 million, increased $679,000, or 13.2%, from $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase includes an increase in SG&A expenses due to foreign currency exchange fluctuation of approximately $163,000. Exclusive of the increase due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, SG&A expenses have increased primarily due to (1) increased personnel-related expenses of approximately $263,000 resulting from an increase in personnel as well as salary and wage increases for current employees throughout the last two quarters of 2009 and the first two quarters of 2010, (2) increased audit fees of approximately $117,000 resulting primarily from additional services required to be provided by our independent auditors during the 2009 year-end financial statement audit, (3) increased travel expenses of approximately $76,000, and (4) increased legal fees of approximately $49,000 incurred for reviews of the Company’s public filings and general corporate matters.
Research and Development.Our research and development expenses of $158,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, represented a decrease of $31,000, or 16.4%, from $189,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This category of expense includes internal engineering personnel and outside engineering expense for software and hardware development, sustaining product engineering, and new product development. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, salaries and related costs of certain engineering personnel who were used in the development of software met the capitalization criteria of ASC Topic 985-20, “Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed.” The total amount of personnel and other expense capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2010, of $563,000, increased $95,000, from $468,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. In aggregate, research and development expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $721,000 as compared to $657,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Operating Income.The net change in operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2010, was an increase of $452,000 from net operating income of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to net operating income of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in operating income is due to increased sales and gross profit and decreased research and development expenses partially offset by increased SG&A expenses as previously described.
Other Income and Expense.Other income and expense increased $30,000 from ($322,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to ($292,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2010, due to a decrease of $121,000 in other expense, a decrease of $94,000 in foreign currency gain, and a decrease of $3,000 in interest expense. The decrease in other expense is primarily due to expense recorded in the second quarter of 2009 to reflect the increase in value of outstanding warrants that were classified as derivative instruments under a new accounting standard that went into effect in 2009. The warrant agreement pursuant to which these warrants had been issued was amended subsequent to the second quarter of 2009 such that the warrants were no longer classified as derivative instruments effective July 1, 2009.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense).Net income tax expense was $383,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to net income tax benefit of $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The income tax expense or benefit reported for interim periods is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year and also includes expense or benefit recorded to the provision for uncertain tax positions in foreign jurisdictions. Our projected annual effective tax rate is sensitive to variations in the estimated and actual level of annual pre-tax income, variations in the tax jurisdictions in which the pre-tax income is recognized, and various discrete income tax expenses that may need to be recorded from time to time. As these variations occur, the projected annual effective tax rate and the resulting income tax expense or benefit recorded in interim periods can vary significantly from period to period. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, income tax (expense) benefit as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes was approximately 25.8% and (1.9%), respectively. The change in the rates is primarily related to changes in the mix of income (loss) before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by full valuation allowance and those that are not.
Net Income (Loss) Applicable to Common Shareholders.The net change in net income applicable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2010, was a decrease of $312,000 from net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to net income of $763,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
COMPARISON OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009
Net Sales and Gross Profit.Our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010, increased $13.0 million or 37.4%, from $34.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $47.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase resulted from higher sales by our foreign subsidiaries of $13.3 million partially offset by lower U.S. domestic sales of $291,000.
17
The increase in sales by our foreign subsidiaries resulted primarily from increased sales in the Asia-Pacific market, particularly in India, where fulfillment of significant orders received in 2009 continued in the first six months of 2010, and in the South America market, particularly in Brazil and in Colombia, where fulfillment of a significant order from an OEM was completed. The increase in sales in the Asia-Pacific and South America markets were partially offset by decreased sales in Europe, where fulfillment of large orders for end-users in Dubai in the first six months of 2009 resulted in higher sales in the prior year. The increase in international sales is inclusive of an increase due to foreign currency fluctuations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of approximately $3.0 million.
The decrease in U.S. sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009 is primarily attributable to the timing of order receipts from and delivery to our OEM and end-user customers. We reported higher sales of electronic information display systems and related products in the prior year as a result of fulfillment of a large order to an OEM in the first six months of 2009. Partially offsetting the decrease in EIDS and related product sales were increased sales of engineered systems and related products and services in the first six months of 2010 due primarily to fulfillment of a large order to an OEM.
Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $13.1 million increased $2.7 million, or 26.4%, from $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in gross profit was attributed to an increase in foreign gross profits of $2.2 million and an increase in U.S. domestic gross profits of $583,000. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit was 27.5% of our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 29.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
The U.S. gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 30.6% as compared to 26.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales is primarily due to (1) a reduction of material costs on certain engineered system products achieved through a change in suppliers, (2) price increases to certain customers, and (3) a change in product mix whereby we sold more higher margin product in the first six months of 2010 when compared to the first six months of 2009.
The international gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 25.8% as compared to 32.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As discussed herein, the substantial increase in sales by our international operations occurred primarily as a result of sales in India and in the South America market. The India market, where the largest sales increase in the first six months of 2010 occurred, has become one of the most competitive markets our international operations serve. While we have been able to increase sales in India, due to the strong competition, our pricing for products we sell in that market is significantly lower than in most of the other markets we serve. As a result, our gross profit on sales in the India market is significantly lower than the gross profit we typically realize on such product sales in other markets. With such a large amount of the international sales increase in the first six months of 2010 coming from sales in India, our gross profit as a percentage of sales has seen a significant reduction when compared to the first six months of 2009.
We anticipate that improvements in gross margins could occur through more frequent sales of a combination of products and services offering a broader “project” solution, and through the introduction of technology improvements as well as the favorable influence of global purchasing initiatives. However, period-to-period, overall gross margins will still reflect the variations in sales mix and geographical dispersion of product sales.
Selling, General and Administrative.Our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010, of $11.8 million, increased $2.2 million, or 22.7%, from $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase includes an increase in SG&A expenses due to foreign currency exchange fluctuation of approximately $606,000. Exclusive of the increase due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, SG&A expenses have increased primarily due to (1) increased personnel-related expenses of approximately $633,000 resulting from an increase in personnel as well as salary and wage increases for current employees throughout the last two quarters of 2009 and the first half of 2010, (2) increased audit, accounting and tax fees of approximately $236,000 resulting primarily from additional services required to be provided by our independent auditors during the 2009 year-end financial statement audit, (3) increased travel expenses of approximately $149,000 and increased promotion and marketing expenses of approximately $264,000 as the Company continues to market and grow the business on a global basis, (4) increased legal fees of approximately $116,000 incurred for reviews of the Company’s public filings and general corporate matters, (5) increased public company costs of $161,000 related to increased SEC filing costs, increased board of director fees, and investor relations expenses, and (6) increased consulting expenses of $150,000 primarily related to consultants engaged in 2010 to assist in development of an incentive compensation plan and consulting services provided by the former managing director of Mobitec Brazil Ltda.
Research and Development.Our research and development expenses of $266,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were essentially flat as compared to $268,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This category of expense includes internal engineering personnel and outside engineering expense for software and hardware development, sustaining product engineering, and new product development. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, salaries and related costs of certain engineering personnel who were used in the development of software met the capitalization criteria of ASC Topic 985-20, “Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed.” The total amount of personnel and other expense capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2010, of $1.2 million, increased $332,000, from $912,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. In aggregate, research and development
18
expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $1.5 million as compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Operating Income.The net change in our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was an increase of $553,000 from net operating income of $460,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to net operating income of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in operating income is due to increased sales and gross profit partially offset by increased SG&A expenses as previously described.
Other Income and Expense.Other income and expense increased $225,000 from ($789,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to ($564,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2010, due to a decrease of $126,000 in other expense, an increase of $120,000 in foreign currency gain, and an increase of $21,000 in interest expense. The decrease in other expense is primarily due to expense recorded in the first six months of 2009 to reflect the increase in value of outstanding warrants that were classified as derivative instruments under a new accounting standard that went into effect in 2009. The warrant agreement pursuant to which these warrants had been issued was amended subsequent to the second quarter of 2009 such that the warrants were no longer classified as derivative instruments effective July 1, 2009.
Income Tax Benefit.Net income tax expense was $131,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to net income tax benefit of $38,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The income tax expense or benefit reported for interim periods is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year and also includes expense or benefit recorded to the provision for uncertain tax positions in foreign jurisdictions. Our projected annual effective tax rate is sensitive to variations in the estimated and actual level of annual pre-tax income, variations in the tax jurisdictions in which the pre-tax income is recognized, and various discrete income tax expenses that may need to be recorded from time to time. As these variations occur, the projected annual effective tax rate and the resulting income tax expense or benefit recorded in interim periods can vary significantly from period to period. Income tax (expense) benefit as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes was approximately 29.2% and 11.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change in the rates is primarily related to changes in the mix of income (loss) before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by full valuation allowance and those that are not.
Net Income (Loss) Applicable to Common Shareholders.The net change in net loss applicable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was a decrease of $158,000 from net loss of $74,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to net loss of $232,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Industry and Market Overview
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act — A Legacy for Users (“SAFETEA-LU”) was the primary program funding the U.S. public surface transit market at the federal level through federal fiscal year 2009. SAFETEA-LU promoted the development of modern, expanded, intermodal public transit systems nationwide and also designated a wide range of tools, services, and programs intended to increase the capacity of the nation’s mobility systems. SAFETEA-LU guaranteed a record level $52.6 billion in funding for public transportation through federal fiscal year 2009. Economic stimulus legislation under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”) included $8.4 billion reserved for U.S. public transportation infrastructure projects, of which approximately $6.9 billion was authorized for use in our core served U.S. market. The Company’s domestic subsidiaries initially saw an increase in customer requests for estimates, quotes and proposals as a direct result of the ARRA funding. However, the actual rate of conversion of those quotes and proposals into firm orders has been slower than expected. Additionally, we cannot determine with any certainty that certain projects would or would not have materialized in absence of the ARRA funding. However, we estimate that ARRA projects have led to new orders, delivered to a small extent in 2009, but deliverable mostly in 2010, totaling between $2.8 million and $5.5 million. Further, we expect additional order activity under the ARRA to materialize in 2010, which could bring the ultimate total business funded under that program to approximately $8 million. We believe the funding under SAFETEA-LU and the ARRA have in the recent past led to a favorable and increasing market for most of our products in the U.S. segment of our served market.
Authorized federal funding under SAFETEA-LU expired at September 30, 2009. Continuation of the expiring legislation has been implemented under specific legislated extensions presently to December 31, 2010 and other legislative initiatives which have led to additional funding for the “Highway Trust Fund” have been implemented. The “Highway Trust Fund” is a source for a substantial portion of funding to transit projects in the Company’s served U.S. market.
New authorizing legislation has been prepared by the U.S. House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure, which has released its proposal for the next surface transportation authorization bill to replace SAFETEA-LU. The proposal, “A Blueprint for Investment and Reform,” recommends a $450 billion investment in surface transportation programs over a six-year period, including $99.8 billion for public transportation programs that, if enacted, would approximate a 90 percent increase over SAFETEA-LU funding levels. The bill recommends an additional $50 billion to create a national high speed rail network. Funding ways and means for the proposed legislation must still be addressed. There can be no assurance that new legislation will materialize and final passage of any form of new legislation is presently not expected to occur until sometime in 2011 or later. Extensions of the expired legislation are
19
expected until ways and means to finance a new longer-term legislation can be determined. However, the lack of passage of new, long-term legislation to fund the U.S. surface transportation market now appears to be having an adverse impact in our U.S. markets. The Company’s senior management is involved in development of the new legislation and extensions of the expired legislation through active participation in the American Public Transportation Association (“APTA”) and continues to monitor the development of the new legislation and its potential impact on the Company’s future operating results. Additionally, the U.S. economy has not fully recovered from the economic issues of the recent past and some indications of additional slow-down in the U.S. have recently appeared that could have an additional adverse impact on the U.S. market.
Federal funding issues described herein do not impact the larger, international market we serve. Sales by our international subsidiaries increased by approximately 31% in 2009 as compared to the prior year and have increased by 57% in the first six months of 2010 when compared to the same period of 2009 (after giving effect to changes in currency exchange rates) as we continued to seek opportunities to expand our presence internationally, both in current served markets and in new markets around the globe. While we believe that long-term market drivers for the global transit industry, which include traffic grid-lock, high fuel prices, environmental issues, economic issues and the need to provide safe and secure transportation systems, continue to suggest a favorable overall long term trend and environment for DRI, it appears the well-publicized credit and economic issues experienced in other markets outside the U.S., especially in Europe, are starting to have an adverse impact on the Company’s expected revenue and earnings derived from those specific markets. Actions to mitigate this impact are being taken by the Company and we also note that a majority of the Company’s served international market continues to show strength, which we believe will also help mitigate the adverse impact of these economic issues.
OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Our operating activities used net cash of $1.4 million and $932,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash used in operating activities primarily resulted from an increase in trade accounts receivable of $1.5 million due to a significant increase in U.S. domestic sales in the second quarter, an increase in inventories of $2.8 million due primarily to international customer order cancellations, and a decrease in the foreign tax settlement of $163,000. The additional on-hand inventory which resulted from the order cancellations discussed herein includes component parts and sub-assemblies that can be sold to other customers at prices above cost and would not be considered excess or obsolete or require an adjustment from the current carrying value. Sources of cash from operations primarily resulted from net income of $318,000, a decrease in prepaids and other current assets of $460,000 due to a refund of advance payments to suppliers partially offset by higher excise tax credits, an increase in accounts payable of $961,000 due to timing of payments to suppliers in the second quarter, and an increase in accrued expenses of $299,000. Non-cash expense items totaling $1.0 million were primarily related to deferred income taxes, change in the liability for uncertain tax positions, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loan termination fees, inventory obsolescence charges, and a gain on foreign currency translation.
Our investing activities used cash of $1.7 million and $986,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the primary uses of cash were for expenditures relating to internally developed software and purchases of computer, test, and office equipment. We do not anticipate any significant change in expenditures for or sales of capital equipment in the near future.
Our financing activities provided net cash of $2.5 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our primary sources of cash were from borrowings under loan agreements and asset-based lending agreements for both our U.S. and our foreign subsidiaries as well as proceeds from the issuance of Series K Preferred stock. Our primary uses of cash for financing activities were payment of dividends and repayment of borrowings under the asset-based lending agreements.
Significant Financing Arrangements
The Company’s primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been from financing activities. The Company has agreements with lenders under which revolving lines of credit have been established to support the working capital needs of our current operations. These lines of credit are as follows:
• | | Our wholly-owned subsidiaries Digital Recorders, Inc. and TwinVision of North America, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) have in place a three-year, asset-based lending agreement (as amended, the “PNC Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”). DRI has agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Borrowers under the PNC Agreement. The PNC Agreement provides up to $8.0 million in borrowings under a revolving credit facility and is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible U.S. assets of the Company. Borrowing availability under the PNC Agreement is based upon an advance rate equal to 85% of eligible domestic accounts receivable of the Borrowers plus 75% of eligible foreign receivables of the Borrowers, |
20
| | limited to the lesser of $2.5 million or the amount of coverage under acceptable credit insurance policies of the Borrowers, as determined by PNC in its reasonable discretion, plus 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of inventory of the Borrowers, limited to $750,000. The PNC Agreement provides for one of two possible interest rates on borrowings: (1) an interest rate based on the rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”) at which U.S. dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market (a “Eurodollar Rate Loan”) or (2) interest at a rate (the “Domestic Rate”) based on either (a) the base commercial lending rate of PNC, or (b) the open rate for federal funds transactions among members of the Federal Reserve System, as determined by PNC (a “Domestic Rate Loan”). The actual annual interest rate for borrowings under the PNC Agreement is (a) the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.25% for a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (b) the Domestic Rate plus 1.75% for Domestic Rate Loans. Interest is calculated on the principal amount of borrowings outstanding, subject to a minimum principal amount of $3.5 million. The PNC Agreement contains certain covenants and provisions with which we and the Borrowers must comply on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balance on the revolving credit facility was approximately $4.1 million and remaining borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was approximately $1.8 million. |
|
• | | Mobitec AB has credit facilities in place under agreements with Svenska Handelsbanken AB (“Handelsbanken”) pursuant to which it may currently borrow up to a maximum of 32.5 million krona, or approximately US$4.2 million (based on exchange rates at June 30, 2010) through October 31, 2010, on which date, under terms of the credit agreements, the maximum borrowing capacity will be reduced by 8.5 million krona, or approximately US$1.1 million (based on exchange rates at June 30, 2010). At June 30, 2010, borrowings due and outstanding under these credit facilities totaled 32.5 million krona (approximately US$4.2 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2010). Additional borrowing availability under these agreements at June 30, 2010 amounted to approximately US$4,000. These credit agreements renew annually on a calendar-year basis. |
|
• | | Mobitec GmbH has a credit facility in place under an agreement with Handelsbanken pursuant to which it could borrow up to a maximum of 1.4 million Euro (approximately US$1.7 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2010) through April 30, 2010, on which date the borrowing capacity was reduced by 500,000 Euro to 912,000 Euro (approximately US$1.1 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2010). At June 30, 2010, borrowings due and outstanding under this credit facility totaled 625,000 Euro (approximately US$764,000, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2010) and additional borrowing availability amounted to approximately US$350,000. The agreement under which this credit facility is extended has an open-ended term. |
The PNC Agreement and the BHC Agreement (as defined in Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements) contain certain covenants with which we and our subsidiaries must comply. As of June 30, 2010, we have complied with all covenants of the PNC Agreement and BHC Agreement. Management believes there is a possibility that the Company may not be in compliance with some of the covenants required to be maintained under terms of the PNC and BHC Agreements in the fourth quarter of 2010. Pursuant to terms of those agreements, a covenant violation is a breach of the loan agreement and the lender then has the right to demand immediate payment of all outstanding balances due under the agreement. Management has discussed this matter with both PNC and BHC and expects to request waivers or amendments, if necessary. Although management expects, based on past experience, both PNC and BHC to issue a waiver or amendment, we can provide no assurance of such.
Management Conclusion
Our liquidity is primarily measured by the borrowing availability on our domestic and international revolving lines of credit and is determined, at any point in time, by comparing our borrowing base (generally, eligible accounts receivable and inventory) to the balances of our outstanding lines of credit. Borrowing availability on our domestic and international lines of credit is driven by several factors, including the timing and amount of orders received from customers, the timing and amount of customer billings, the timing of collections on such billings, lead times and amounts of inventory purchases, and the timing of payments to vendors, primarily on payments to vendors from whom we purchase inventory. In addition to these factors, in the remaining reporting periods of fiscal year 2010, we expect revenue growth in our domestic and international markets, and increased production efforts to meet such growth, to impact the borrowing availability on our domestic and international lines of credit, and will likely require us to seek additional financing to support the working capital and capital expenditure needs of our operations during the remainder of fiscal year 2010. Historically, the Company has secured financing through lending agreements with banks and other lenders, including amending or extending existing lending agreements, and through offerings of its equity securities. If additional financing is required in fiscal year 2010 to support our working capital and capital expenditure needs, we believe we will be able to secure financing through one of these sources on commercially reasonable terms, though we can give no assurance of such. In addition to the revolving credit facility provided under the PNC Agreement, the Borrowers have outstanding borrowings of approximately $4.8 million on the Term Loan (as defined in Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements) under the BHC Agreement. The revolving credit facility under the PNC Agreement and the Term Loan under the BHC Agreement each mature June 30, 2011. We anticipate extending, renewing or refinancing the debt under both agreements on or before the maturity date but can give no assurances that we will be able to do so or do so on commercially reasonable terms.
21
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. However, there can be no assurance that future inflation would not have an adverse impact upon our future operating results and financial condition.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency for our financial statements is the U.S. dollar. Certain of our assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily in the Swedish krona, the euro, the Brazilian real, the Australian dollar, and the Indian rupee. To prepare our consolidated financial statements, we must translate those assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. As a result, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against these other currencies will affect the amount of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. This could have significant impact on our results if such increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar is substantial.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
“Forward-looking” statements appear throughout this Quarterly Report. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure
22
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design of its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2009. Management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on theInternal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) as of December 31, 2009 determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of that date due to the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
The following material weaknesses were identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 and are still outstanding as of June 30, 2010.
Material Weakness — Mobitec Brazil Ltda.In prior periods, we identified several deficiencies in the design and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting at our Brazilian subsidiary, Mobitec Brazil Ltda (“Mobitec Brazil”) that, when considered in combination, indicated a material weakness. The control deficiencies identified resulted from inadequate implementation of formal policies and procedures and, where control processes had been implemented, inadequate documentation to provide evidence that such processes were operating effectively. Control deficiencies were identified in the following areas: inventory management, revenue recognition, accounts receivable, accounts payable, billing, order entry, purchasing, financial reporting, and information technology (“IT”). Although these control deficiencies had been identified, management believes it has performed adequate evaluation and analysis of financial information reported by Mobitec Brazil to provide reasonable assurance that no material misstatements entered the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Prior to mid-2009, remediation efforts were impeded as a consequence of the Company having less than complete ownership of Mobitec Brazil. Additionally, there was not a full-time employee at Mobitec Brazil who had experience in GAAP accounting or an understanding of implementing and managing effective internal control procedures. Effective July 1, 2009, we acquired the remaining 50% of Mobitec Brazil and, on that date, took full control of all operations of Mobitec Brazil. In August 2009 we hired a financial controller with experience in U.S. public companies and knowledge of requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The hiring of the financial controller has bolstered our efforts to remediate the internal control deficiencies at Mobitec Brazil. We believe we have made significant progress in our efforts to remediate the internal control deficiencies identified at Mobitec Brazil. In the second quarter of 2010 we retained a consulting firm with expertise in implementing and testing internal controls to assist us in our remediation efforts which have included the implementation of formal policies and procedures in the areas in which control deficiencies were identified. On site testing of internal controls will begin at Mobitec Brazil in the third quarter of 2010. Management, in conjunction with the consulting firm, will continue its work to remediate internal control weaknesses at Mobitec Brazil in an effort to complete the remediation by the end of 2010. While remediation efforts are in process and until such time as remediation is complete, management will continue to perform the evaluations and analyses we believe adequate to provide reasonable assurance there are no material misstatements of our financial statements.
Material Weakness — Revenue Recognition.Management has determined that a material weakness in internal control related to revenue recognition identified in prior periods has not been remediated and still exists as of June 30, 2010. Management has determined that due to the complexity of interpreting the various provisions of the accounting rules that determine proper revenue recognition on multiple element arrangements entered into by the Company, we did not have the expertise within our current organization to adequately evaluate these arrangements and determine proper revenue recognition for such arrangements. Management has established an action plan for remediation of this material weakness. As part of this action plan, in the second quarter of 2010, the Company engaged a consultant with multiple element revenue recognition expertise to assist the Company in reviewing all multiple element arrangements entered into by the Company and in evaluating such arrangements to determine proper accounting treatment for recognizing revenue under GAAP. The consultant is evaluating the policies and procedures the Company has in place for multiple element revenue accounting and is assisting management in modifying such policies and procedures where
23
necessary to ensure proper internal controls are established and full remediation of the material weakness is achieved. In addition, in the second quarter of 2010 the Company’s management participated in formal training by subject matter experts on revenue recognition. Management will continue its work to remediate internal control weakness including participation in continuing education and training on revenue recognition and implementation of recommended changes in policies and procedures in an effort to complete the remediation by the end of 2010.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than the actions taken toward the remediation of the material weaknesses described above.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company, in the normal course of its operations, is involved in legal actions incidental to the business. In management’s opinion, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the current financial position of the Company or future results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors supplement and/or update the risk factors the Company previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of the 2009 Annual Report filed with the SEC on April 15, 2010 and Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on May 14, 2010.
Risks Related to Indebtedness, Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial position, operations and ability to grow.As of June 30, 2010, we had total debt of approximately $16.8 million. Included in this debt is $9.1 million under our domestic and European revolving credit facilities, a $4.8 million term loan due on June 30, 2011, a $192,000 loan due on September 30, 2010, a $337,000 loan due on March 31, 2012, a $1.6 million loan due on October 30, 2012, a $111,000 loan due on September 5, 2012, a $21,000 loan due on October 7, 2014, a $93,000 loan due on October 18, 2010, two loans with an aggregate balance of $224,000 with up to one year terms, and three loans of aggregate $11,000 due on November 16, 2010. Our domestic revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $4.1 million as of June 30, 2010. Our European revolving credit facilities have outstanding balances of $4.2 million as of June 30, 2010 under agreements with a Swedish bank with expiration dates of December 31, 2010 and an outstanding balance of $764,000 as of June 30, 2010 under an agreement with a German bank with an open-ended term. Our substantial indebtedness could have adverse consequences in the future, including without limitation:
| • | | we could be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, which would reduce amounts available for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development and other general corporate purposes; |
|
| • | | our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate could be limited; |
|
| • | | we may be more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
|
| • | | we may be at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have less debt than we do; |
|
| • | | it may be more difficult for us to obtain additional financing that may be necessary in connection with our business; |
|
| • | | it may be more difficult for us to implement our business and growth strategies; |
|
| • | | we may have to pay higher interest rates on future borrowings; and |
|
| • | | we may not comply with financial loan covenants, which could require us to incur additional expenses to obtain waivers from lenders or could restrict the availability of financing we can obtain to support our working capital requirements. |
