Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. | Business Overview and Going Concern |
Business Overview
Remote Dynamics, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“we” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated on February 3, 1994. We market, sell and support automatic vehicle location (“AVL”) and mobile resource management solutions targeting companies that operate private vehicle fleets. We believe that the REDIview™ family of solutions is ideal for metro, short-haul fleets within diverse industry vertical markets such as field services, distribution, courier, limousine, electrical/plumbing, waste management, and government. Our core technology, telematics, combines wireless communications, GPS location technology, geospatial solutions and vehicle data integration with an easy-to-use web-accessible application that aids in the optimization of remote business solutions. Our state of the art fleet management solution contributes to higher customer revenues and improved operator efficiency by improving the productivity of mobile workers through real-time position reports, route-traveled information, and exception based reporting designed to highlight mobile workforce inefficiencies. This in-depth reporting enables our customers to correct those inefficiencies and deliver significant savings to the bottom line.
Historically, much of our revenues have been derived from products sold to the long-haul trucking industry, and to member companies of SBC Communications, Inc. (“SBC”). Revenues from these legacy customers have ceased as of December 31, 2005. SBC selected an alternative vendor to supply its next generation AVL product, and, as of December 31, 2005, had deactivated all of its subscriber units. For us to sustain ongoing business operations and ultimately achieve profitability, we must substantially increase our sales and penetration into the marketplace with next generation products and services.
We commercially launched our current product offering, REDIview, during January of 2005. REDIview is an Internet and service bureau-based software application that provides an extensive array of real-time and accurate mapping, trip replay, and vehicle activity reports. REDIview includes a series of exception-based reports designed to highlight inefficiencies in the operations of a vehicle fleet. Utilizing GPRS technology and our proven, high-capacity network service center, customers may access their information securely through the Internet from any personal computer or certain other devices.
REDIview incorporates technologies that allow for fast and effective integration into legacy applications operated by companies with vehicle fleets and mobile workers. This design allows companies to easily extend their existing supply chain management systems to the mobile workforce for transaction processing and customer fulfillment. REDIview was also designed to be hardware and network agnostic to provide the maximum flexibility in designing solutions that best fit the customer’s specific needs.
Our new REDIview product line forms the basis of our business plan for fiscal year 2007 and beyond. We expect this product line to provide the foundation for a growth in revenues and, if our revenues grow as we anticipate, ultimately profitability. In addition, the REDIview product line allows us to move to a recurring revenue model for all of its current product offerings, an important and necessary change to our revenue model to achieve overall sustained revenue growth and cash flow positive operations. In implementing our new business plan, we are completing a significant cost and operational-based restructuring, reducing our workforce at all levels, including the senior management level. We are focusing our efforts on enhancing the existing REDIview product line. As a result, in addition to significantly reducing projected operational costs, we have significantly reduced our projected sales targets and associated cash flows from our previous business plan which included multiple product offerings sold through both a direct sales force and third-party distributors.
Going Concern
Historically, much of our revenues have been derived from products and services sold to the long-haul trucking industry, small to medium-sized companies through our Vehicle Management Information™ (“VMI”) product line, and to SBC. Revenues from the long-haul trucking industry and SBC have ceased as of December 31, 2005. SBC selected an alternative vendor to supply its next generation AVL product, and, as of December 31, 2005, had deactivated all of its subscriber units. We have ceased actively marketing and selling our VMI product. For us to sustain ongoing business operations and ultimately achieve profitability, we must substantially increase our sales and penetration into the marketplace with competitive products and services. We believe that the potential market opportunity for automatic vehicle location products in the United States, such as our GPRS-based REDIview product, is significant and that we will be well positioned with our telematics product lines and proven operations support to take advantage of the significant market potential.
At November 30, 2006 we have a significant working capital deficit, have incurred significant recurring losses and have used significant cash in operations. We currently do not expect to achieve profitability during the 2007 fiscal year. Based on our latest revised pricing structure and reduction in workforce, we currently estimate that to achieve profitability, we will need to have approximately $600,000 in monthly revenues. However, there can be no assurances that we will achieve our REDIview sales targets or our targeted operating cost reductions, and failure to do so may have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Critical success factors in our plans to achieve positive cash flow from operations include:
| · | Ability to increase sales of the REDIview product line to lessen the amount of capital resources necessary to fund our operations until such time that revenues from the REDIview product line are sufficient to fund ongoing operations. |
| · | Ability to further reduce our operating costs in accordance with our latest revised business plan. |
| · | Ability to complete development of additional features and functionality for the REDIview product line. |
| · | Significant market acceptance of our product offerings from new customers, including our REDIview product line, in the United States. |
| · | Maintaining and expanding our direct sales channel. New salespersons will require training and time to become productive. In addition, there is significant competition for qualified sales personnel, and we must continue to offer attractive compensation plans and opportunities to attract qualified salespersons. |
| · | Expansion into new markets not currently served by us. |
| · | Increasing sales production from existing channel partners. |
| · | Obtaining new channel partners to distribute our product lines. |
| · | Maintenance and expansion of indirect distribution channels for our REDIview product line. |
| · | The securing and maintenance of adequate third party leasing sources for customers who purchase our products. |
There can be no assurances that any of these success factors will be realized or maintained.
We currently believe that with the expected remaining proceeds from our November 2006 private placement described in Note 3, and assuming the achievement of our revised REDIview sales targets and expected operating cost reductions, we have sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations through the remainder of our 2007 fiscal year. The sufficiency of our cash resources depends to a certain extent on general economic, financial, competitive or other factors beyond our control. Moreover, despite actions to reduce costs and improve profitability, our operating losses and net operating cash outflows will continue through at least June 2007. As a result, we may not be able to achieve the revenue and gross margin objectives necessary to achieve positive cash flow or profitability without obtaining additional debt or equity financing. We do not currently have any arrangements for additional financing and we may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. Further, our ability to secure certain types of additional financings is restricted under the terms of our existing financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a transaction for additional capital prior to substantially depleting our available cash reserves, and our failure to do so may force us to file for bankruptcy protection and/or cease operations.
2. | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2006. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Estimates Inherent in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when earned in accordance with the applicable accounting literature including: EITF No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables”, Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. Revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and all obligations under such arrangement have been fulfilled, the price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Initial sale proceeds received under multiple-element sales arrangements that require us to deliver products and services over a period of time and which are not determined by us to meet certain criteria are deferred. All REDIview and VMI sales proceeds related to delivered products are deferred and recognized over the contract life that typically ranges from one to five years. Product sales proceeds recognized under this method are portrayed in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Ratable product revenues.” The related deferred revenue is classified as a current and long term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the captions “Deferred product revenues - current portion” and “Deferred product revenues non-current portion.” If the customer relationship is terminated prior to the end of the customer contract term, such deferred sales proceeds are recognized as revenue in the period of termination. Under sales arrangements, which initially meet the earnings criteria described above, revenues are recognized upon shipment of the products or upon customer acceptance of the delivered products if terms of the sales arrangement give the customer the right of acceptance.
Service revenue generally commences upon product installation and customer acceptance and is billed and recognized during the period such services are provided.
We provide lease financing to certain customers of our REDIview and VMI products. Leases under these arrangements are classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. These leases typically have terms of one to five years, and all sales type leases are discounted at interest rates ranging from 14% to 18% depending on the customer’s credit risk. The net present value of the lease payments for sales-type leases is recognized as product revenue and deferred under our revenue recognition policy described above. Income from operating leases is recognized ratably over the term of the leases.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
We test our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or between annual tests if it is determined that a significant event or change in circumstances warrants such testing, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, (“SFAS 142”) which requires a comparison of the carrying value of goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill is required.
Since our launch of the REDIview product line in January of 2005, we have experienced significant competition in the marketplace which has eroded our price points and prevented us from achieving our sales targets with sales cycles for large accounts proving to be much longer and complex than originally anticipated. Thus, in response to current market conditions, we revised our business plan modifying our pricing structures, our sales and marketing approach and added new feature sets to our REDIview product line to ensure that we remain competitive in the marketplace. We have significantly reduced our future projected cash flows from previous projections. Thus, we performed our annual test for goodwill impairment at August 31, 2005 utilizing an income approach, a discounted future cash flow analysis and an analysis of market multiples to determine our goodwill was impaired by an estimated $9.6 million. Goodwill was thus written off by $9.6 million representing the full amount of the estimated impairment during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005.
Based on our failure to achieve our forecasted sales targets for the three months ended November 30, 2005, we began analyzing and revising our current and long-term business plans, materially modifying our existing business plan in late December 2005. Our business plan significantly reduced our projected sales forecasts and operational costs from the former plan. As a result, and in accordance with SFAS 142, we performed an interim test of our goodwill as of November 30, 2005 utilizing a discounted future cash flow analysis based on our new projected sales targets and the estimated impact of our cost saving measures. We determined that goodwill was further impaired by an estimated $5.0 million. Goodwill was thus further written off by $5.0 million at November 30, 2005 representing the full amount of the estimated impairment.
We further modified our business plan as of August 31, 2006 significantly reducing our projected sales forecasts and operational costs from the former plan. As a result, and in accordance with SFAS 142, we performed an annual test of our goodwill as of August 31, 2006 utilizing a discounted future cash flow analysis based on our new projected sales targets and the estimated impact of our additional cost saving measures. We determined that goodwill was further impaired by an estimated $2.7 million. Goodwill was thus further written off by $2.7 million at August 31, 2006 representing the full amount of the estimated impairment. At August 31and November 30, 2006, the carrying value of our goodwill was $2.4 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Accounting Standards No. 155 (“FAS 155”). In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”) and Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“FAS 140”). With respect to FAS 133, FAS 155 simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and eliminates the interim guidance in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” which provided that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provision of FAS 133. With respect to FAS 140, FAS 155 eliminates a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. FAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of FAS 155 to significantly affect our financial condition or results of operations.
FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”). In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for us beginning September 1, 2007. We are in the process of determining the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our financial statements.
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”). In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to significantly affect our financial condition or results of operations.
3. | Securities Purchase Agreements |
Series A Preferred Stock
On October 1, 2004, we closed the sale of 5,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, with each preferred share having a face value of $1,000, for a total purchase price of $5,000,000. Net cash proceeds were $4,651,000 after payment of expenses. The Series A convertible preferred stock was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share. We sold the Series A convertible preferred stock to SDS Capital Group SPC, Ltd (“SDS”). The Series A convertible preferred stock was issued to SDS pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, provided by Regulation D promulgated thereunder. As discussed below, the Series A convertible preferred stock was exchanged for Series B convertible preferred stock in September 2005.
SDS Note Payable
On May 31, 2005, we consummated a bridge loan and security agreement with SDS in which we issued a promissory note in the amount of $1.75 million to SDS (the “Bridge Note”). The Bridge Note was secured by our assets, accrued interest at 8% per annum and was due and payable on September 30, 2005. The Bridge Note automatically exchanged into a common stock purchase warrant with a 5-year term to purchase 1,666,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and a common stock purchase warrant with a 5-year term to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share (the “Bridge Warrants”) upon approval of our stockholders. Our stockholders approved the exchange of the Bridge Note into the Bridge Warrants, and on September 2, 2005, the Bridge Note was extinguished and exchanged for the Bridge Warrants.
Series B Preferred Stock
On September 2, 2005, we closed the sale of $6.5 million of preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants in a private placement transaction with SDS previously entered into on May 31, 2005. In consideration for the issuance of the Series B convertible preferred stock, SDS paid us $750,000 and returned to us all of the outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock with a face value of $5 million which was held by SDS. We incurred an early redemption penalty of $750,000 related to the Series A convertible preferred stock. Net cash proceeds received by us were approximately $443,000 after deduction of brokers’ commissions, accrued interest on the bridge note and other expenses. The Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible into common stock at an original conversion price of $1.55 per share. SDS also received a common stock purchase warrant with a 5-year term to purchase 2 million shares at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. We used the net proceeds from the financing transaction to fund our business plan. We are obligated to register the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B convertible preferred stock or exercise of the common stock purchase warrants for public resale under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933.
During the three months ended November 30, 2006, we issued approximately 32 million shares of our common stock for the repayment of approximately $634,000 in Series A Notes and accrued interest.
On December 16, 2005, in consideration of our reducing the exercise price on certain warrants held by SDS from $0.67 to $0.30 per share, SDS exercised the warrants for the purchase of 1,125,000 shares of our common stock resulting in the receipt by us of cash proceeds in the amount of $337,500. This repricing resulted in an increase in the net loss attributable to common shareholders of approximately $69,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Series A Note Financing
On February 24, 2006, we closed a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which we sold $5.75 million of our series A senior secured convertible notes and original issue discount series A notes (“Series A Notes”) in a private placement transaction. In the private placement, we received proceeds of approximately $4.1 million in cash (after deducting brokers’ commission but before payment of legal and other professional fees, the 15% original issue discount of $750,000 and the tendering of 50 shares of their 650 shares Series B preferred convertible stock with an aggregate face value of $500,000 by our sole series B preferred convertible stockholder).
The Series A Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets. There exists no material relationship between us and these investors other than in respect of the Series A Note purchase agreement. The Series A Notes mature 24 months from issuance and are convertible at the option of the holder into our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.20 per share (which adjusted to $0.016 per share upon the issuance of series B subordinated secured convertible notes discussed below). Beginning on September 1, 2006 and continuing thereafter on the first business day of each month, we must pay an amount to each holder of a Series A Note equal to 1/18th of the original principal payment of the note; provided, that if on any principal payment date the outstanding principal amount of the note is less than such principal installment amount, then we must pay to the holder of the note the lesser amount. We may make such principal installment amounts in cash or in registered shares of our common stock. If paid in common stock, certain conditions must be satisfied, and the number of registered shares to be paid to the holder must be an amount equal to the principal installment amount divided by eighty percent (80%) of the average of the closing bid price for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the principal payment date.
On September 15, 2006, at the request of SDS, and in accordance with the terms of our Series B preferred stock, we exchanged 80 shares of our redeemable Series B preferred stock into approximately 516,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $1.55 per share. The carrying value of our Series B preferred stock was reduced by approximately $644,000.
We currently are not in compliance with certain of our obligations relating to our Series A Notes, including our failure to maintain sufficient authorized shares to permit conversion of the notes and our failure to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. As of November 30, 2006, we have obtained waivers of compliance of these obligations from all of the note holders, other than one holder of $100,000 principal amount of the notes.
The purchasers of the Series A Notes (and the placement agent in the transaction) received the following common stock purchase warrants:
| · | Series A-7 warrants to purchase 20,625,000 million shares in the aggregate of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.40 per share subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets; issuances of additional shares of common stock, and issuances of common stock equivalents. The exercise price of the series A-7 warrants adjusted to $0.016 per share upon the issuance of our series B subordinated secured convertible notes discussed below. The series A-7 warrants are exercisable for a seven-year period from the date of issuance. 1.9 million of these shares are exercisable over 5 years. |
| · | Series B-4 warrants to purchase 13,750,000 million shares in the aggregate of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.90 per share subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets; issuances of additional shares of common stock, and issuances of common stock equivalents. The exercise price of the series B-4 warrants adjusted to $0.016 per share upon the issuance of our series B subordinated secured convertible notes discussed below. The series B-4 warrants are exercisable for a four-year period beginning on the date a resale registration statement for the shares underlying the warrants is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 1.3 million of these shares are exercisable over 5 years. |
| · | Series C-3 warrants to purchase 27,500,000 million shares in the aggregate of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.21 per share subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets; issuances of additional shares of common stock, and issuances of common stock equivalents. The exercise price of the series C-3 warrants adjusted to $0.016 per share upon the issuance of our series B subordinated secured convertible notes discussed below. The series C-3 warrants are exercisable for a three-year period from the date of issuance. 2.5 million of these shares are exercisable over 5 years. |
| · | Series D-1 warrants (callable only at our option) to purchase 19,250,000 shares in the aggregate of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the lesser of: (a) $0.35 and (b) 90% of the average of the 5 day volume weighted average price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board preceding the call notice, as defined in the warrant. |
HFS Note Payable
On July 20, 2004, we entered into and consummated the Third Amended Letter Agreement with HFS Minorplanet Funding LLC (“HFS”) issuing a $2.0 million convertible promissory note to HFS with the principal balance being due 36 months from the date of funding, with an annual interest rate of 12 percent. Upon issuance of the Note, HFS provided the $2 million funding to us less a commission in the amount of $80,000 representing four percent (4%) of the loan proceeds. A Director of HFS currently serves as a Director on our Board of Directors. During the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005, we made interest payments to HFS totaling $10,000 and $60,000 respectively. We accrued $60,000 and $60,000, respectively, in interest during the same periods.
On November 30, 2006, we entered into a promissory note with HFS in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and having a maturity date of December 1, 2007. As of the date of this report, no amounts have been advanced under this note. Advances are only available under certain limited circumstances. At maturity, (a) the promissory note (and all amounts due under the note) automatically convert into our securities of the same kind issued by us in our November 2006 private placement (based on a $1,000,000) and (b) the existing $2,000,000 convertible promissory note issued by us to HFS will be cancelled.
Series B Note Financing
On November 30, 2006, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Bounce Mobile Systems, Inc. (“BMSI”) and other accredited investors. As discussed below, we did not receive any proceeds from this transaction until December 4, 2006. Pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, we will receive up to $1,754,000 in gross proceeds (of which BMSI has committed to provide $1,200,000) from the sale of up to (i) $1,754,000 principal amount of our series B subordinated secured convertible promissory notes (“Series B Notes’), (ii) $701,600 principal amount of our original issue discount series B subordinated secured convertible promissory notes (“Series B OID Notes”), (iii) our series E-7 warrants (“E-7 Warrants”) to purchase 82,218,750 shares of our common stock and (iv) our series F-4 warrants (“F-4 Warrants”) to purchase 82,218,750 shares of our common stock.
| · | The Series B Notes and the Series B OID Notes are secured by all of our assets, subject to existing liens, are due December 4, 2009 and begin amortization of principal (in nine quarterly installments) on August 1, 2007. We may make principal installment payments in cash or in registered shares of our common stock. If paid in common stock, certain conditions must be satisfied, and the number of registered shares to be paid to the holder must be an amount equal to the principal installment amount divided by the greater of (i) $0.02 and (ii) 90% of the average of the volume weighted average trading prices of the common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the principal payment. The Series B Notes and Series B OID Notes are convertible into our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.016 per share, subject to reduction if we fail to achieve specified financial and operating milestones and subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets; issuances of additional shares of common stock, and issuances of common stock equivalents. |
| · | The E-7 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.02 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets; issuances of additional shares of common stock, and issuances of common stock equivalents. The E-7 Warrants are exercisable for a seven-year period from the date of issuance. |
| · | The F-4 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.03 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets; issuances of additional shares of common stock, and issuances of common stock equivalents. The F-4 Warrants are exercisable for a four-year period beginning on the date a resale registration statement for the shares underlying the warrants is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
The private placement is structured to occur in four closings, each providing $438,500 in gross proceeds to us. The first closing occurred on December 4, 2006 and the second closing occurred on January 10, 2007. The third closing will occur within five business days after the date that we file an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation making effective an increase in the number of our authorized shares of common stock to 575,000,000 and a one-for-fifty reverse stock split of our common stock. The fourth closing will occur within five business days after the date that an initial resale registration statement for the shares underlying the notes and warrants issued in the private placement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each closing is subject to certain other conditions being satisfied, including (i) our representations and warranties in the agreement being true and correct in all material respects as of each closing date, (ii) our having performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by us at or prior to each closing date, and (iii) no material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, or financial condition of us and our subsidiaries having occurred.
As a result of the private placement and pursuant to the terms of "most favored nations" rights granted to investors in our February 2006 private placement of our Series A Notes, we issued to certain of our February 2006 private placement investors, in exchange for $1,652,111 principal amount of the Series A Notes, an additional (i) $1,784,111 principal amount of Series B Notes, (ii) $713,644 principal amount of Series B OID Notes, (iii) E-7 Warrants to purchase 83,690,203 shares of our common stock and (iv) F-4 Warrants to purchase 83,690,203 shares of our common stock. We received no additional proceeds from the exchange.
In connection with the private placement, we agreed to pay to the placement agent for the transaction consideration consisting of (a) a cash sales commission of $150,480, (b) warrants to purchase 23,021,250 shares of common stock, with each warrant having an exercise price of $0.016 per share and being exercisable for ten years, (c) E-7 Warrants to purchase 12,332,813 shares of common stock, and (d) F-4 Warrants to purchase 12,332,813 shares of common stock. We also agreed to pay legal fees in the amount of $35,000 to legal counsel for the investors in the private placement.
The issuance of the Series B Notes triggered anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price of our Series A Notes and the exercise price of the common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Series A Notes as follows: (a) the conversion price of the Series A Notes changed from $0.20 to $0.016 per share, (b) the exercise price of our Series A-7 warrants changed from $0.40 to $0.016 per share, (c) the exercise price of our Series B-4 warrants changed from $0.90 to $0.016, and (d) the exercise price of our Series C-3 warrants changed from $0.21 to $0.016 per share. In addition, the transaction triggered an anti-dilution adjustment to certain warrants issued to SDS in September 2005 in connection with the Series B preferred stock transaction, by changing the exercise price from $1.75 to $0.0966 per share and increasing the number of shares of common stock for which the warrants can be exercised from 750,000 to 12,683,191.
BounceGPS Acquisition
On November 30, 2006, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Bounce Mobile Systems, Inc. (“BMSI”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we agreed to acquire from BMSI 100% of the capital stock of BounceGPS, Inc., a provider of mobile asset management solutions, in exchange for:
| · | 5,000 shares of our newly authorized series C convertible preferred stock |
| · | A Series B Note in the principal amount of $660,000 |

| · | An E-7 Warrant to purchase 30,937,500 shares of common stock |
| · | A F-4 Warrant to purchase 30,937,500 shares of common stock |
As part of the acquisition of BounceGPS, Inc., we acquired approximately 600 mobile subscribers, executive management and marketing expertise. Total assets acquired were approximately $380,000, consisting primarily of inventory and other current assets in the amount of $149,000, and $231,000 in fixed and other assets. Total liabilities acquired were approximately $380,000 consisting of accounts payable and other current liabilities of $103,000 and notes payable of $277,000. We anticipate that cash flows from operations from BounceGPS to be minimal.
The transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement closed on December 4, 2006.
The series C convertible preferred stock issued under the Share Exchange Agreement has a face amount of $1,000 per share ($5,000,000 in the aggregate), ranks junior to the Company’s series B convertible preferred stock and senior to its common stock with respect to payment of dividends and amounts upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and is entitled to receive cumulative dividends in an amount equal to 8% per year (payable at the election of the holder in cash or additional shares).
The series C convertible preferred stock issued under the Share Exchange Agreement is initially convertible into 51% of the number of our fully diluted shares, as defined to include, without limitation:
| · | Shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock; |
| · | Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible security or purchase right outstanding on the date of issuance (including, without limitation, the series C convertible preferred stock, the Company’s series B convertible preferred stock, the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes, the Series B OID Notes, the E-7 Warrants and the F-4 Warrants); |
| · | Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible security or purchase right issued after the issuance date of the series C convertible preferred stock in conversion, exercise or exchange of securities outstanding as of the issuance date or as a dividend, interest payment, liquidated damages, penalty, compromise, settlement or other payment of certain securities or pursuant to or in connection with any agreement, indebtedness or other obligation of the Company existing as of the issuance date, or with respect to any amendment, waiver or modification thereto or extension thereof; |
| · | Shares of common stock issued after the issuance date of the series C convertible preferred stock as a dividend, interest payment, liquidated damages, penalty, compromise, settlement or other payment of certain securities or pursuant to or in connection with any agreement, indebtedness or other obligation of the Company existing as of the issuance date, or with respect to any amendment, waiver or modification thereto or extension thereof; and |
| · | Shares of common stock authorized for issuance from time to time under the Company’s equity incentive plans. |
The series C convertible preferred stock generally has the right to vote on all matters before the common stockholders on an as-converted basis voting together with the common stockholders as a single class. In addition, the holders of a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, have the right to appoint a majority of the members of our Board of Directors (as long as we have not exercised our limited rights to redeem series C convertible preferred stock).
As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement and Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement transactions, BMSI, as the sole holder of our series C convertible preferred stock, currently holds approximately 94.2% of the voting power of our outstanding securities and beneficially owns approximately 61.5% of our common stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis).

Product Warranty Guarantees
We provide a limited warranty on all REDIview product sales, at no additional cost to the customer, which provides for replacement of defective parts for one year after the product is sold. We provide a limited warranty on all VMI product sales, at no additional cost to the customer, which provides for replacement of defective parts during the contract term, typically ranging from one to five years. We establish an estimated liability for expected future warranty commitments based on a review of historical warranty expenditures associated with these products and other similar products. The product warranty liability, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled approximately $132,000 at November 30, 2006.
Purchase Obligations
We had purchase obligations of approximately $1.1 million primarily related to the purchase of inventory as of November 30, 2006.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business or are incidental to our business. We may suffer an unfavorable outcome as a result of one or more these claims. We do not expect the final resolution of such claims, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, depending on the amount and timing of unfavorable resolutions of claims against us, or the costs of settlement or litigation, our future results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Our reportable segments offer different products and/or services. Each segment also requires different technology and marketing strategies. Our two reportable segments are VMI and Network Service Center Systems (“NSC Systems”). REDIview products and services are included in NSC Systems.
Operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on management’s estimate of the utilization of financial resources by each segment. Impairment loss on license right is allocated solely to the VMI segment. Goodwill impairment is allocated solely to the NSC Systems segment.

We compute earnings per share in accordance SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per basic share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the “Treasury Stock Method.” Our potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding, since their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The securities listed below were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect from their conversion/exercise would have been antidilutive:

Kierston Dowd, et al., Stanislaus County Superior Court). Under the Memorandum of Understanding, @Road agreed to dismiss their lawsuit with prejudice in exchange for a payment from us of the sum of $250,000, payable in 24 equal monthly installments beginning January 1, 2007 (subject to acceleration upon certain change of control and financing transactions) and accruing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The settlement is subject to the approval of our Board of Directors and execution of a final settlement agreement and general release. This amount is recorded as a liability at August 31, 2006 and November 30, 2006.
ITEM 2: | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION |
Executive Summary
We market, sell and support automatic vehicle location (“AVL”) and mobile resource management solutions targeting companies that operate private vehicle fleets. We believe that the REDIview™ family of solutions is ideal for metro, short-haul fleets within diverse industry vertical markets such as field services, distribution, courier, limousine, electrical/plumbing, waste management, and government. Our core technology, telematics, combines wireless communications, GPS location technology, geospatial solutions and vehicle data integration with an easy-to-use web-accessible application that aids in the optimization of remote business solutions. Our state of the art fleet management solution contributes to higher customer revenues and improved operator efficiency by improving the productivity of mobile workers through real-time position reports, route-traveled information, and exception based reporting designed to highlight mobile workforce inefficiencies. This in-depth reporting enables our customers to correct those inefficiencies and deliver significant savings to the bottom line.
Historically, much of our revenues have been derived from products sold to the long-haul trucking industry and to member companies of SBC Communications, Inc. (“SBC”). Revenues from these legacy customers have ceased as of December 31, 2005. SBC selected an alternative vendor to supply its next generation AVL product, and, as of December 31, 2005, had deactivated all of its subscriber units. For us to sustain ongoing business operations and ultimately achieve profitability, we must substantially increase our sales and penetration into the marketplace with next generation products and services.
We commercially introduced our next generation AVL product, REDIview, in January of 2005. REDIview was designed with a flexible architecture to accommodate expected additional functional requirements that will be required to effectively compete in the marketplace.
Our new REDIview product line forms the basis of our business plan for fiscal year 2007 and beyond. We expect this product line to provide the foundation for a growth in revenues and, if our revenues grow as we anticipate, ultimately profitability. In addition, the REDIview product line allows us to move to a recurring revenue model for all of its current product offerings, an important and necessary change to our revenue model to achieve overall sustained revenue growth and cash flow positive operations. In implementing our new business plan, we are completing a significant cost and operational-based restructuring, reducing the workforce at all levels, including the senior management level. We are focusing our efforts on enhancing the existing REDIview product line. As a result, in addition to significantly reducing projected operational costs, we have significantly reduced our projected sales targets and associated cash flows from our previous business plan which included multiple product offerings sold through both a direct sales force and third-party distributors.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended November 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended November 30, 2005
Our total revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2006 decreased to $1.5 million from $1.9 million during the three months ended November 30, 2005. NSC Systems revenue decreased from $1.3 million during the three months ended November 30, 2005 to $1.1 million during the three months ended November 30, 2006. NSC Systems is comprised of revenues derived from the member companies of SBC Communications, Inc. (“SBC”), Geologic Systems, Inc. (“Geologic”) and our REDIview product line. As of December 31, 2005, SBC had deactivated all of its REDIview subscriber units. The decrease in the Geologic network services subscriber units was also anticipated as subsequent to the sale to Geologic in fiscal 2002, the subscriber units used by Geologic had either been converted to Geologic’s network or acquired service from other carrier networks. As all revenues from our contract with SBC have ended, our future revenues will be solely dependent upon sales of our REDIview product line. REDIview contributed all or our NSC Systems segment revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2006. REDIview revenue for the quarter ended November 30, 2005 totaled approximately $500,000. The increase to $1.1 million as of November 30, 2006 was attributable to normal sales of the REDIview product line. Any failure to achieve our sales targets of the REDIview product line will likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
VMI revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2006 was $0.3 million, down from $0.6 million during the three months ended November 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to VMI customers converting to REDIview and normal expected attrition of the VMI customer base. New VMI unit sales were minimal during the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005 as sales and marketing focused on sales of the REDIview product line. We no longer actively market the VMI product; however, we will continue to service and support our existing VMI customers and will continue to recognize deferred product revenues and costs over the remaining VMI contract lives.
Total gross profit margin increased from 24% for the three months ended November 30, 2005 to 33% for the three months ended November 30, 2006. During the three months ended November 30, 2005, profit margins on the revenues from SBC and Geologic were offset by the fixed costs of operating the network services center. During the three months ended November 30, 2006, those costs were greatly reduced as SBC and Geologic had deactivated all of their units.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $1.0 million during the three months ended November 30, 2005 to $0.9 million during the same period in 2006, primarily due to a cost-based reduction in workforce from 73 employees at November 30, 2005 to 27 employees at November 30, 2006. Customer service expenses decreased from $0.2 million during the three months ended November 30, 2005 to $0.1 million during the same period in 2006, primarily due to a cost-based reduction in workforce. Sales and marketing expenses decreased from $0.7 million during the three months ended November 30, 2005 to $0.3 million during the same period in 2006, primarily due to a cost-based reduction in workforce. Engineering expenses decreased from $0.3 million during the three months ended November 30, 2005 to $0.2 million during the same period in 2006, primarily due to a cost-based reduction in workforce. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $0.3 million during the three months ended November 30, 2006 from $0.7 million during the same period in the prior year primarily due to customer relationships being fully amortized as of December 2005 and NSC equipment being fully depreciated as of December 2005. Goodwill was written off by approximately $5.0 million at November 30, 2005 as previously described in Note 2. The VMI license right was written off by approximately $0.1 million at November 30, 2005.
Interest expense increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 2006 from $0.1 million for the same period during 2005. During the three months ended November 30, 2006, we recorded a non-cash interest expense associated with the Series A Note transaction of $1.1 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and have limited financial resources until such time that we are able to generate positive cash flow from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million as of November 30, 2006.
Net cash used in operations in 2006 was $0.2 million, primarily due to a net loss of $2.4 million offset by amortization of debt discount of $0.7 million, amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million, stock issued for services of $0.3 million, and an increase in accounts payable of $0.3 million.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million as of November 30, 2005.
Net cash used in operations in 2005 was $0.4 million, primarily due to a net loss of $7.7 million offset by a charge for goodwill impairment of $5.0 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.4 million, an increase in accounts payable of $0.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million, and a decrease in lease receivables and other assets of $0.3 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 was $32,000, due to the proceeds from the sale of Series B preferred stock of $0.4 million, offset by payments on capital leases and other notes payable of $0.3 million and $0.1 million in dividends paid on the Series A preferred stock.
We have historically relied on a series of financings and asset sales to fund our ongoing operations, including:
| · | On October 1, 2004, we closed the sale of 5,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, with each preferred share having a face value of $1,000, for a total purchase price of $5,000,000. Net cash proceeds were $4,651,000 after payment of expenses. |
| · | On May 31, 2005, we consummated a bridge loan and security agreement in which we issued a promissory note in the amount of $1.75 million. The bridge loan was exchanged into a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 1,666,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share on September 2, 2005. |
| · | On September 2, 2005, we closed the sale of $6.5 million of Series B convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants. In consideration for the issuance of the Series B convertible preferred stock, we received $750,000 and the return of all of our outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock. |
| · | On December 16, 2005, in consideration of our reducing the exercise price on certain outstanding warrants from $0.67 to $0.30 per share, the holder exercised the warrants for the purchase of 1,125,000 shares of our common stock resulting in the receipt by us of cash proceeds in the amount of $337,500. This repricing resulted in an increase in the net loss attributable to common shareholders of approximately $69,000. |
| · | On December 23, 2005, we consummated the sale and assignment of certain of our patents and pending patent applications in exchange for $500,000. |
| · | On February 24, 2006, we closed a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we sold $5.75 million of our series A senior secured convertible notes and original issue discount series A notes in a private placement transaction. In the private placement, we received proceeds of approximately $4.1 million in cash (after deducting brokers’ commission but before payment of legal and other professional fees, the 15% original issue discount of $750,000 and the tendering of 50 shares of their 650 shares Series B preferred convertible stock with an aggregate face value of $500,000 by our sole series B preferred convertible stockholder). The purchasers of the series A notes (and the placement agent in the transaction) received the following common stock purchase warrants in the transaction: (i) series A-7 warrants to purchase 20,625,000 million shares in the aggregate of common stock, (ii) series B-4 warrants to purchase 13,750,000 million shares in the aggregate of common stock, (iii) series C-3 warrants to purchase 27,500,000 million shares in the aggregate of common stock, and (iv) Series D-1 warrants (callable only at our option) to purchase 19,250,000 shares in the aggregate of common stock. |
| · | On November 30, 2006, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, we will receive up to $1,754,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of up to (i) $1,754,000 principal amount of our series B subordinated secured convertible promissory notes, (ii) $701,600 principal amount of our original issue discount series B subordinated secured convertible promissory notes, (iii) our series E-7 warrants to purchase 82,218,750 shares of our common stock and (iv) our series F-4 warrants to purchase 82,218,750 shares of our common stock. As a result of the private placement and pursuant to the terms of "most favored nations" rights granted to investors in our February 2006 private placement of our series A notes, we issued to certain of our February 2006 private placement investors, in exchange for $1,652,111 principal amount of the series A notes, an additional (i) $1,784,111 principal amount of series B subordinated secured convertible promissory notes, (ii) $713,644 principal amount of original issue discount series B subordinated secured convertible promissory notes, (iii) series E-7 warrants to purchase 83,690,203 shares of our common stock and (iv) series F-4 warrants to purchase 83,690,203 shares of our common stock. We received no additional proceeds from the exchange. In connection with the private placement, we agreed to pay to the placement agent for the transaction consideration consisting of (a) a cash sales commission of $150,480, (b) warrants to purchase 23,021,250 shares of common stock, with each warrant having an exercise price of $0.016 per share and being exercisable for ten years, (c) E-7 Warrants to purchase 12,332,813 shares of common stock, and (d) F-4 Warrants to purchase 12,332,813 shares of common stock. We also agreed to pay legal fees in the amount of $35,000 to legal counsel for the investors in the private placement |
Our November 2006 private placement is structured to occur in four closings, each providing $438,500 in gross proceeds to us. The first closing occurred on December 4, 2006 and the second closing occurred on January 10, 2007. The third closing will occur within five business days after the date that we file an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation making effective an increase in the number of our authorized shares of common stock to 575,000,000 and a one-for-fifty reverse stock split of our common stock. The fourth closing will occur within five business days after the date that an initial resale registration statement for the shares underlying the notes and warrants issued in the private placement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each closing is subject to certain other conditions being satisfied, including (i) our representations and warranties in the agreement being true and correct in all material respects as of each closing date, (ii) our having performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by us at or prior to each closing date, and (iii) no material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, or financial condition of us and our subsidiaries having occurred.
We currently do not expect to achieve profitability during the 2007 fiscal year since we will be building our sales force and channels, completing our cost reduction plans and continuing to transition our customer base to a monthly recurring revenue model. Based on our latest revised pricing structure and cost structure, we currently estimate that to achieve profitability, we will need to have approximately $600,000 in monthly revenues. However, there can be no assurances that we will achieve our REDIview sales targets or our targeted operating cost reductions and failure to do so may have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We currently believe that with the expected proceeds from our November 2006 private placement, and assuming the achievement of our revised REDIview sales targets and expected operating cost reductions, we have sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations through the remainder of our 2007 fiscal year. The sufficiency of our cash resources depends to a certain extent on general economic, financial, competitive or other factors beyond our control. Moreover, despite actions to reduce costs and improve profitability, our operating losses and net operating cash outflows will continue through at least June 2007. As a result, we may not be able to achieve the revenue and gross margin objectives necessary to achieve positive cash flow or profitability without obtaining additional debt or equity financing. We do not currently have any arrangements for additional financing and we may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. Further, our ability to secure certain types of additional financings is restricted under the terms of our existing financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a transaction for additional capital prior to substantially depleting our available cash reserves, and our failure to do so may force us to file for bankruptcy protection and/or cease operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The significant accounting policies and estimates, which we believe to be the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating reported financial results, are stated in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2006.
ITEM 3: | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which we have designed to ensure that material information related to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our disclosure committee on a regular basis. Our disclosure committee consists of members of our senior management.
Under the supervision, and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed as of November 30, 2006. Based on this evaluation, the CFO has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Interim Report, our Disclosure Controls are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for the reasons discussed below.
These matters are with regard to insufficient personnel resources within the company, based on the size and complexity of the organization, to affect timely financial close process and to effectively evaluate and resolve certain routine and non-routine and/or complex accounting transactions. A significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected is considered a material weakness. Significant deficiencies are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements.
To remediate this internal control weakness, management has commenced implementation of the following measures: we will continue to add sufficient personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements. We plan to have this implemented during the second quarter of 2007.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our quarter ended November 30, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. In the estimation of our senior management, none of the following changes in the composition of management have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting:
| (i) | | On December 5, 2006, David Walters joined our Board of Directors and was appointed Chairman of the Board; |
| | | |
| (ii) | | On December 5, 2006, Keith C. Moore joined our Board of Directors and was appointed Secretary of the Board; |
| | | |
| (iii) | | On December 5, 2006, Christopher D. Phillips resigned from his position as director; and, |
| | | |
| (iv) | | On December 22, 2006, Phillip K. Hunter resigned from his position as director. |
