NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2007 AND 2006
(UNAUDITED)
1.
Basis
of presentation and significant accounting policies:
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements
In
the
opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of PowerLinx, Inc.'s
(the "Company") financial position and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's audited 2006 consolidated financial statements, including the
notes thereto, and the other information set forth in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2006. Operating results
for
the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative
of the results that can be expected for a full fiscal year.
Income
(Loss) Per Share:
Income
(loss) per share (“EPS”) in is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to
common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding without
including any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS is computed by
dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders for the period by the
weighted average common shares outstanding plus, when their effect is dilutive,
common stock equivalents.
Potentially
dilutive securities, which have been excluded from the determination of diluted
EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive, are as follows:

Financial
instruments:
Financial
instruments at September 30, 2007 and 2006 consist of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued expenses, derivative liabilities,
notes payable and convertible debentures. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006
the
fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables,
accrued expenses approximated their respective carrying values, due to their
relative current maturities. The estimated fair value of notes payable
approximated $1,375,000 at September 30, 2007, based upon the present value
of
cash flows. The estimated fair value of convertible debentures approximated
$4,600,000 at September 30, 2007, based upon the present value of cash
flows.
The
Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge
exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values
of
its financial instruments. However, certain other financial instruments, such
as
warrants and embedded conversion features that are indexed to the Company’s
common stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses
rights to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net-share settlement is not
within the control of the Company. In such instances, net-cash settlement is
assumed for financial accounting and reporting, even when the terms of the
underlying contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial
instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted
to
fair value at the close of each reporting period.
The
caption Derivative liabilities consists of (i) the fair values associated
with derivative features embedded in the Convertible Debentures, (ii) the fair
values of the detachable warrants issued in connection with the Convertible
Debentures and (iii) the fair values of other warrants and convertible
instruments where share-settlement is presumed not to be in the Company’s
control. (See Note 8)
Concentrations:
Accounts
receivable are concentrated in the Security and DC Transportation products
segments and credit losses have been within management's expectations. Although
the Company serves a large and varied group of customers, three customers
accounted for 35% of the Company’s total net revenue, and 45% of the DC
Transportation products segment net revenue for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, two customers accounted
for 60% of the Company’s total net revenue. Three customers accounted for 42% of
the DC Transportation products segment net revenue, and one customer accounted
for 90% of the Security
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2007 AND 2006
(UNAUDITED)
Unrecognized
tax benefits:
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No.109” (“FIN
48”) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the
Company has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax
benefits. The Company’s review indicates that any unrecognized tax
benefits would not create a material liability but would merely reduce the
net
operating loss deferred tax asset which has been fully reserved for with
a 100%
valuation allowance.Management believes there should be no significant change
in
the total unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve-month
period. It is not anticipated that any of the total unrecognized tax
benefits, if recognized, would materially affect the effective tax
rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to
uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2007,
the Company has not accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain
tax
positions.
2.
Liquidity and management's plans:
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the
Company
has incurred losses from operations of $2,183,997 and $2,913,255 during the
nine
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, during
those periods, the Company has used cash of $1,162,170 and $3,688,859
respectively, in its operating activities and has a stockholders' deficit
at
September 30, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
The
Company has allocated significant resources to the development of new power
line
technologies and products that will be available for sale and/or licensing.
The
power-line Audio products will be available for sale and/or licensing during
the
fourth quarter of 2007. The products utilizing the Company’s power-line video
technology, both analog and digital, will be available for sale and/or
licensing
during the first half of fiscal year 2008. The Company’s ability to continue
will be dependent upon achieving profitable operations through the licensing
and
sales of these new technologies and products.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon (i) raising
additional capital to fund operations (ii) the further development of the
Security, DC Transportation, and new Audio products segments, and (iii)
ultimately the achievement of profitable operations. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, the Company secured net financing of $1,253,098
in the
form of short-term notes payable from its primary financial partner and
short-term convertible promissory notes with various accredited investors.
While
the proceeds of this financing did mitigate the Company’s liquidity difficulties
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, additional funding will be
required to fund the launch of the Company’s new power line products and
technologies, which are now ready for release, to pay the approximate $2.7
million of notes payable which are currently due, and to fund
operations. In addition to the continued effort to reduce overhead
expenses through the streamlining of its operations, the Company plans
to
continue to borrow funds through the issuance of short-term convertible
promissory notes until longer-term financing can be arranged. Subsequent
to
September 30, 2007, the Company has received gross proceeds of $120,900
through
the issuance of such notes. Management and the Board of Directors are currently
reviewing the financing options available to the Company based on its current
strategic plan, which may require the restructuring or conversion of convertible
notes payable and convertible debentures. Management is currently in discussions
with several investors regarding both short-term and long-term financing
opportunities; however, the Company has received no formal investment offers
or
terms sheets at this time. The ability of the Company to sustain its operations
for a reasonable period without further financing cannot be assured and
the
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that
might arise as a result of this uncertainty.
3.
Segment information:
The
Company operates in three identifiable industry segments. The Marine Products
Segment markets and sells underwater video cameras, lighting and accessories
principally to retail sporting goods businesses throughout the United States.
The Security Products Segment develops, markets, licenses, and sells proprietary
power line video security devices and consumer electronic products; to
retailers, governmental agencies, commercial businesses, and original equipment
manufacturers, throughout the United States. The DC Transportation Products
Segment develops power line rear vision systems and sources a full line of
accident avoidance products for all classes of vehicles in the transportation
industry. The products are sold to fleets, bodybuilders, distributors and
original equipment manufacturers throughout the United States. The Company's
facilities and other assets are not distinguished among the identifiable
segments. Other financial information about the Company's segments is as

Convertible Debentures
On
March
16, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement"), with several accredited investors (collectively the
"Purchasers"), under which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the
Purchasers in a private placement up to $4,473,933 aggregate principal amount
of
8% Convertible Debentures, due March 22, 2008 (the "Convertible Debentures")
and
detachable warrants to purchase 1,841,335 shares of common stock (the
"Warrants") for proceeds of $3,100,000 and $1,373,933 of pre-existing notes
and
accrued interest (the "Proceeds"). Financing costs amounted to $82,000. On
March
23, 2006 the Company issued $4,073,933 face value of the Convertible Debentures
for cash of $2,700,000 and the pre-existing notes. On March 27, 2006 and March
29, 2006, the Company issued $250,000 and $150,000, respectively, of Convertible
Debentures for cash.
The
Purchasers received registration rights related to the common shares underlying
the conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures and the Warrants. The
Registration Rights include requirements for filing, effectiveness, continued
effectiveness and continued listing over the term of the outstanding
instruments. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for monthly liquidating
damages of up to 2.0% for failure to achieve or maintain effectiveness and
listing. In addition, the Convertible Debentures provide for a mandatory
redemption of 120% of outstanding face value for defaults under the Debenture
and Registration Rights Agreements.
8.0%
Convertible Debentures,
Warrants and Other Derivatives
:
The
carrying value of the Company’s 8.0%, Face Value $4,473,933 Convertible
Debentures amounted to $1,397,846 at September 30, 2007. Amortization of the
debt discount, included in interest expense, amounted to approximately
$1,175,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The
Convertible Debenture Financings included registration rights and certain other
terms and conditions related to share settlement of the embedded conversion
features and the warrants that the Company has determined are not within its
control. In addition, certain features associated with the financings, such
as
variable redemption rates afforded the Purchasers render the number of shares
issuable to be indeterminate. These instruments and derivative elements are
carried at their fair values in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets.

Embedded
derivative instruments consist of multiple individual features (conversion
features and redemption features) that were embedded in the Convertible
Debentures. The Company evaluated all significant features of the hybrid
instruments and, where required under current accounting standards, bifurcated
features for separate report classification. These features were, as
attributable to each Debenture, aggregated into one compound derivative
financial instrument for financial reporting purposes. These compound embedded
derivative instruments are valued using the Flexible Monte Carlo methodology
because that model embodies certain relevant assumptions (including, but not
limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, and Company-controlled/mandatory
redemption features) that are necessary to value these complex
derivatives.

In
May
2007, the Company converted accrued interest of approximately $428,000 to
346,331 shares of the Company's common stock. The accrued interest consisted
of
approximately $340,000 of interest based on the 8% stated interest rate of
the
convertible debentures and additional interest of approximately $88,000 due
to
the holders of the debenture upon conversion to equity, pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement. The Company recorded approximately, $300,000 to prepaid interest
for
the difference between interest earned and converted to common stock and the
amount charged to the statement of operation based on the accretion of the
discount (including accrued interest) using the effective interest
method.
During
August 2007, the Board of Directors approved a repricing of the exercise price
of the freestanding warrants from $2.37 to $0.60 for a one week period. Warrants
to purchase 126,316 shares of common stock were exercised at the $0.60 price.
The $15,700 difference in the fair value of the warrants due to the repricing
was recorded as expense.
As
of
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company was in default under
the
terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Debentures issued on March 22, 2006.
The
terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Debenture required that the Company
generate gross profit in excess of $300,000 per month on average during the
period from October 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006. Under the default provisions;
upon the Company delivering an Event of Default Notice to Purchasers (Debenture
holders) or the Purchasers becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Purchasers
may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of their Debenture by
delivering an “Event of Default Redemption Notice” to the Company. At that time
the Company would be required to redeem the requested portion of the debenture
at a redemption value calculated in accordance with the default provisions
in
the March 22, 2006 Securities Purchase Agreement, to be no less than 120% of
the
principal amount requested to be redeemed. At September 30, 2007, the Company
had not negotiated a form of a Waiver Agreement with the Purchasers covering
the
Company’s inability to meet this covenant. The Company has not received an
“Event of Default Redemption Notice” from any Purchaser and is currently engaged
in negotiating with the Purchasers in order to enter into a waiver agreement
covering the aforementioned default.
Because
the Company was in default as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
and
while under default, may receive an “Event of Default Redemption Notice” at any
time; the liabilities associated with the Debentures on the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets, as presented, have been reclassified
from
long-term to current liabilities.

Convertible notes payable:
During
the months of May through September of 2007, the Company borrowed $508,598
from
accredited investors and related parties through issuance of short-term
convertible promissory notes. These convertible notes are all
unsecured, bear interest at 8% annually, and mature 30 days from their
inception. As of September 30, 2007, $471,598 of the face value of
the convertible notes remained outstanding, and all but three, with a face
value
totaling $100,000 have had their maturity date extended until December 15,
2007. The three convertible notes for which the maturity dates were
not extended were in default at September 30, 2007 (See Note 10). As of December
20, 2007, all convertible notes payable are due and the Company has not obtained
waivers from the note holders, and therefore are considered in
default.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2007 AND 2006
(UNAUDITED)
The
convertible notes payable are convertible at the option of the lender into
the
Company’s common stock at $.60 per share and 3-year warrants to purchase an
additional 50% of the converted shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per
share. However; on August 17, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a
modification of the conversion terms, for all subsequent promissory notes,
to
$.35 per share and 3-year warrants to purchase an additional 50% of the
converted shares at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. As of September
30,
2007, the face value of convertible notes issued and outstanding under the
modified terms was $100,598.
In
conjunction with the issuance of the convertible notes, each holder received
the
number of shares of restricted common stock equal to 25% of the principal note
proceeds. The Company issued 127,150 shares of the common stock with
a fair value of $112,601 for these notes. The convertible notes were
recorded net of a $508,598 discount resulting from the original allocation
of
the fair values of the loans and the common stock issued of $45,811 and the
remaining $462,787 discount resulting from a beneficial conversion feature
of
these notes.
On
August
29, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to borrow $210,000 from an
accredited investor through the issuance of a six month convertible promissory
note with an annual interest rate of 12%. The convertible promissory note is
convertible at $0.48 per share at the option of the lender and carries piggyback
registration rights. The Company received net proceeds of $199,500 on
September 6, 2007 after paying a 5% management fee, or $10,500, in accordance
with the terms of the agreement. The note was collateralized by a
third party shareholder with 804,507 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The transaction included a “First” equity fee amounting to
23.34% of the loan value, or $49,014 based on the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the day of funding, resulting in the issuance of 94,258 shares
of restricted common stock for the first 90 days the loan is
outstanding. The terms of the agreement requires the payment of an
identical “Second” equity fee if the loan remains unpaid after the 90
th
day from the date
of funding. The “Second” equity fee will be valued at the lower of
the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of funding, or the
average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading
days prior to the 90
th
day the note is
outstanding. In the case of the “Second” Equity fee, the agreement stipulated
that in the event the price of the Company’s stock declines in value during the
90 day period after issuance, then the number of shares included in the “Second”
Equity fee shall be subject to an upward adjustment. This provision has been
accounted for as a freestanding written put liability. At September 30, 2007,
the liability is $16,646 and is recorded in derivative liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheets. In addition, under the terms of the agreement,
the
Company issued warrants with a 5 year expiration, to purchase an additional
105,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per
share, or 125% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of
funding. The warrants did not meet all of the criteria for equity
classification and consequently have been recorded as a derivative
liability in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2007.

Commitments and contingencies:
Material
Commitments:
On
March
15, 2007, the Company signed a two year Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with a consulting company (the “Consultant”) hired to assist the Company in
areas of strategic business planning, financial advisory, and investor and
public relations services; and specifically to design and implement an investor
and public relations program designed to make the investing public knowledgeable
about the benefits of stock ownership in the Company. Under the Agreement,
the
Company agreed to pay the Consultant three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) per
month, payable on the 15th of each month, commencing on the date of the
agreement, and 440,000 shares of the Company’s common stock restricted for a
year under Rule-144 of the Act (the “Shares”); as total and complete
consideration for the services to be provided by the Consultant to the
Company. Under the Agreement, as amended, the Consultant will
commence earning Shares on May 1, 2007, earning one-twelfth (1/12) of the total
Shares to be issued under the Agreement each month, for twelve consecutive
months. The issuance of Shares shall occur in four equal periodic installments
over the course of twelve (12) months, on the last day of each three month
earning period as follows; 110,000 Shares on July 31, 2007, 110,000 Shares
on
October 31, 2007, 110,000 on January 31, 2008, and 110,000 on April 30, 2008.
Either party may terminate the agreement upon a sixty (60) day written
notice. In the event of termination, the “Termination Date” will be
the 60
th
day after the
written termination notice is properly delivered in accordance with the terms
of
the Agreement. Any cash or Shares earned by the Consultant up to the
Terminate Date will be pro-rated to the day, based on a 360 day calendar
year. During the three month period ending September 30, 2007, the
Consultant earned 110,000 shares in accordance with the agreement. The shares
were valued based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on
the last day of each month. The amount is included in accrued
expenses in the accompanying September 30, 2007 condensed consolidated balance
sheet.
On
April
30, 2007, the Company executed an amendment to the original April 2, 2004 lease
agreement for office space it leases in Concord, California where its research
and development operation resides. The amendment extends the lease
for an additional year, commencing May 1, 2007 through April 30,
2008. The total commitment due under the amendment equals $24,203,
payable in equal monthly installments of $2,017.

On
April
26, 2007 the Company learned that a default judgment had been entered against
it
on August 1, 2006 in the Circuit Court of the 6
th
Judicial Circuit
of Pinellas County, Florida, in the amount of $20,192; to the plaintiff Reed
Elsevier, Inc. The obligation is associated with a commitment made in
December of 2004, by a former officer of the Company, for floor space at a
trade
show in March of 2005, at which the Company did not attend. The
Company has retained counsel to negotiate a resolution to the matter, and is
awaiting a response from the plaintiff for a meeting date. The
Company recorded a liability in the amount of $22,203, including post judgment
interest, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying September
30, 2007 condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Guestlinx,
LLC
On
May
19, 2006 the Company learned that a default judgment had been entered against
it
on May 3, 2006 in the Superior Court of California, Orange County, in the amount
of $90,561, to the plaintiff Guestlinx, LLC. The obligation is associated with
the Hotel/MDU product segment, the operations of which were discontinued in
April of 2005. The judgment was granted based on an action filed by Guestlinx,
LLC on November 2, 2005. We had no prior knowledge of the action and believe
it
was never properly served. We retained counsel in California, and on August
4,
2006 were successful in having the judgment set aside for improper service.
We
had previously recorded a liability associated with this dispute in the amount
of $46,352. On December 8, 2006, we negotiated a settlement and release
agreement at a mandatory settlement conference, in the amount of $52,500. We
remitted $16,250 toward the settlement amount on December 15, 2006, and the
remaining balance of $36,250 was recorded as an accrued liability at December
31, 2006. Under the agreement, we were required to pay the remaining
balance by February 15, 2007, but were unable to do so. The agreement provides
for the plaintiff to receive a stipulated judgment in the amount of $60,000
(less amounts remitted) if we are in default of the agreement. On April 18
2007,
the plaintiff filed for and received the default judgment and the Company’s
counsel is currently working with the plaintiff on a revised payment
schedule. The Company increased the aforementioned liability in the
amount of $7,500 to account for the additional obligation incurred under the
stipulated judgment. The amounts are included in accrued expenses in
the accompanying September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 condensed consolidated
balance sheets.
Pro-Marketing
Inc.
On
August
18, 2005 the Company agreed to a settlement with Pro-Marketing of Texas, Inc.
relating to an alleged breach of contract from a financing transaction that
took
place during fiscal year 2000. The settlement consisted of the
issuance of 3,000 shares of restricted common stock, and cash payments totaling
$60,000 to be disbursed in an amount of $2,500 per month for a period of two
years, commencing on August 18, 2005. Since August of 2005, the
Company remitted payments totaling $30,000. On October 2, 2007 the
Company agreed to the plaintiffs Motion for Final Summary Judgment, in the
Circuit Court for Pinellas County, in the amount of $32,597.50, which includes
pre-judgment interest and attorney’s fees.
Acu-cast
Technologies,
LLC
On
June
11, 2007, Acu-cast Technologies, LLC filed a complaint against the Company
in
the amount of $4,437 in the County Court of Lawrence, Tennessee. The
liability relates to proto-types made by the plaintiff on behalf of the
Company. During September 2007, the Company paid $4,220 as full
settlement for the liability.
10. Subsequent
Events:
On
November 6, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to
modify the conversion terms for the $471,598 of outstanding promissory notes
(See Note 8). All outstanding notes will be convertible, at the
option of the lender, into restricted common stock at $.15 per share, and three
year warrants to purchase an additional 50% of the converted shares at an
exercise price of $0.45 per share.
On
November 8, 2007, the Company received a demand letter from ICON Capital
Partners, LP, for the repayment of three short-term unsecured promissory notes
totaling $100,000. The convertible notes consisted of a $25,000 note
issued on May 11, 2007, due June 10, 2007, and extended to August 24, 2007;
a
$50,000 note issued on May 30, 2007, due on July 30, 2007, and extended to
August 29, 2007; and a $25,000 note issued on June 14, 2007, due July 13, 2007,
and extended to August 13, 2007. The demand letter asked for payment
in full of principal and interest by November 19, 2007. As of the
time of this filing, the notes remain outstanding and the Company is working
with several accredited investors to obtain additional capital to repay these
notes.
Subsequent
to December 15, 2007, the Company was in default on the remaining convertible
notes payable with a face value of $371,598. The maturity date was
not extended beyond December 15, 2007 and therefore the convertible notes were
in default. As of September 30, 2007, the convertible notes payable
are classified as current liabilities.
In
addition, subsequent to September 30, 2007, the Company borrowed and additional
$120,900 through the issuance of a series of 30 day short-term convertible
promissory notes to accredited investors on the same terms and conditions
outlined above. Subsequent to December 15, 2007, the Company was in
default on $53,000 of these notes. The maturity date was not extended
beyond December 15, 2007 and therefore the convertible notes were in
default.

as
a result of certain factors.
OVERVIEW
Our
current products, and products and technologies under development, are based
on
our proprietary analog and digital power line communication technology
(PLC). Our PLC technology has been developed to transmit voice,
video, audio and data either individually, or in combination. PLC transmission
can take place over power lines, twisted pair wires and coaxial cables in AC
and
DC power environments, through any power grid. We also develop,
manufacture and market underwater video cameras, lights and accessories for
the
marine, commercial and consumer retail markets.
Through
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30,
2007, our power line products have been sold successfully into primarily two
markets; security and transportation. Our single analog camera,
“SecureView”, is currently being sold to The Home Shopping Network and Sam’s
Club, and has been the primary source of revenue in this segment. The
Company will expand its product line in the security / video surveillance market
segment in 2008 with the introduction of a multi-camera analog security system
and a digital IP Netcam.
We
believe our new IP Netcam is a perfect way to remotely monitor either a home
or
small business from a different location using a PC. The IP Netcam
uses your home’s electrical wiring as a “digital pipeline” to deliver streaming
video from up to 8 individual cameras around your home or
business. Each camera is actually a sophisticated “video server” that
configures itself automatically within your PC. Simply plug the camera into
any
electrical wall outlet, plug the companion receiver into any electrical outlet,
and connect the base to your network or cable modem. Once connected, your
cameras are available in a secure network available only to authorized users.
Market statistics show that the IP Camera market is expected to grow by 20%
annually, with projected segment sales of $649 million by 2009. We
have found in this marketplace that internet users want to monitor their homes
and businesses remotely. In fact, 56% want remote monitoring of home
and business webcams, 45% want to manage home security via a PC, and 47% want
network cameras for home security.
In
our
transportation products segment, in addition to power-line rear vision systems,
we have continued to upgrade and expand our product offerings and now carry
a
full line of accident avoidance products including hard wired vision systems,
DVRs, and GPS for tracking and directions.
For
the
three months ended September 30, 2007, net revenues of $573,086 decreased
43%
compared to net revenues for the same period ended September 30, 2006. Operating
expenses of $988,751 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased
24%
compared to operating expenses for the same period ended September 30,
2006. Loss from operations of $721,474 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 increased 37% compared to the same period ended September
30,
2006.
The
primary reason for the decrease in net revenues was due to a one time
significant sale to a large retailer in the previous comparative
period. The increase in operating expenses and net loss from
operations was due primarily from stock based compensation to consultants for
services provided in conjunction with the launch of our new product line and
promotion of the Company within the consumer electronics industry.
The
operating results of the DC Transportation Product Segment continued to improve
significantly compared to the prior comparative period. Net revenues in the
transportation division increased 234%, to $447,196 for the three months
ended
September 30, 2007, from $134,029 for the same period ended September 30,
2006. The growth in this segment was driven primarily by two
factors. First, the industry has an extremely lengthy sales cycle,
and the efforts made by our sale personnel during 2006 fiscal year, and targeted
trade show participation during the same year, has resulted in the acquisition
of new customers and distributors that have been in our sales
“pipeline”. Second, we have continued to expand and upgrade our
product line allowing us to gain incremental revenues from existing customers
who may have in the past purchased certain systems and components from competing
suppliers.
As
previously announced, we will launch a new product segment in 2007; the Audio
Segment, with the introduction of three products which transmit audio over
the
power line. In the Audio Segment, our business plan is focused on
leveraging our proprietary technologies, and to deliver the next generation
of
power line communication products aimed at the wireless audio market. Our target
market will be the home-based user and small office user. Our research has
concluded that some of the fastest growing areas of the consumer market can
benefit from our technology. The home audio sales market will be
approximately $6 billion in 2007, largely driven by the portable audio market.
The portable audio market includes Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod player and
Microsoft Corp.'s recently launched Zune player, as well as other MP3-format
audio players. Sales of portable audio players will account for 90 percent
of
all audio sales in 2007, with an estimated 41 million portable audio players
being shipped, compared to the 34 million players shipped in
2006. The research conclusively shows that the popularity of digital
music stored on PC's, Mac's, Apple’s iPod®, and MP3 players has led to an
increased demand by consumers to play stored music anywhere in their home or
office.
In
the
multi-billion dollar home theatre market, we have found that a large number
of
consumers have cited two main reasons of dissatisfaction with their home theatre
systems: 1) there were too many wires that had to be connected to make the
system work as advertised; and 2) many of the wires were exposed due to the
distance of the system components from the system base. Because of
these two reasons, a large number of home theatre systems do not have the rear
speakers hooked up at all, resulting in less than expected performance of the
system. This lack of overall performance is a problem not only for consumers,
but for manufacturers as well.
1)
Tune
Dog
TM
:
This is an
iPod/MP3/iPhone accessory, complete with audio speakers, which will allow the
user to send music wirelessly to any room in their home from an iPod®, MP3
player, or PC, using only existing electrical wiring.
2)
Audio Everywhere
TM
:
This
accessory is targeted at existing home entertainment systems and component
stereo systems, and it will allow a stereo tuner to send audio through a home’s
existing electrical wiring. Speakers can then be connected to the receiver
for
digital-quality music anywhere in the home with no additional wires, cables,
antennas, or radio frequency (RF) equipment.
3)
Rear Speakers DIY Install
Kit
TM
:
This
accessory is targeted at new and existing home entertainment systems, with
surround sound. Potential licensing partners have told us that 75 to
80% of rear surround sound speakers are either never connected or located on
the
front wall with the audio source because users find it to difficult hide the
wires to the rear speakers. Our Rear Speakers DIY Install Kit
TM
enables the user
to use the existing electrical wires in their home to transmit to the rear
speakers as part of the overall home theatre experience.
The
2007
launch of our new audio product and the 2008 launch of our new video products
is
the culmination of almost two years of intensive and focused research and
development efforts and we believe these products are well branded, and well
positioned for success in the markets we have targeted. During
February 2007, the complete product specifications for the audio products were
sent to several potential manufacturers in Asia for quoting and we intend to
begin the manufacturing of an initial production run after a manufacturer is
chosen.
We
were
able to raise additional capital during the three months ended September
30,
2007 through the issuance of a series of short-term promissory notes (See
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Note 8); however, additional funding
will be
required to fund the launch of our new power line products and technologies,
which are now ready for release, to pay the approximate $2.7 million of
notes
payable which are currently due, and to fund operations. In addition
to the continued effort to reduce overhead expenses through the streamlining
of
our operations, we plan to continue to borrow funds through the issuance
of
short-term convertible promissory notes until longer-term financing can
be
arranged. Subsequent to September 30, 2007, we have received gross proceeds
of
$120,900 through the issuance of such notes. We are currently reviewing
the
financing options available to us based on our current strategic plan,
which may
require the restructuring or conversion of convertible notes payable and
convertible debentures. We are currently in discussions with several investors
regarding both short-term and long-term financing opportunities; however,
we
have received no formal investment offers or terms sheets at this
time.

REVENUE: Net revenue decreased 12% from $1,503,980 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 to $1,322,337 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Marine product segment sales were $156,942 or 12% of total revenues for the
nine
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $132,983, or 9% of total revenues,
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Overall, marine product sales
increased $23,959, or 18%. Security product segment sales were $149,474 or
11%
of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to

2006. Overall, security product sales decreased $729,527, or 83%. DC
Transportation product segment sales were $1,015,921, or 77% of total revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $491,996, or 33% of
total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Overall, DC
Transportation product sales increased $523,925, or 106%. The increase in net
revenues for the marine product segment was due to a concentrated effort on
internet marketing. The decrease in net revenues for the security product
segment was because the previous year comparative quarter included a large
one
time sale to a large retailer. The increase in net revenues for the
DC transportation product segment was due to a continual expansion and upgrading
of the product line, and the acquisition of new customers from leads developed
by sales personnel and trade show attendances in prior periods.
COST
OF
GOODS SOLD: Cost of goods sold decreased 30% from $1,013,734 for the nine
months
ended September 30, 2006 to $710,903 for the nine months ended September
30,
2007. As a percentage of net revenue, cost of goods sold decreased to 54%
for

in
2007. As a percentage of net revenue, cost of goods sold for the DC
Transportation product segment remained unchanged at 50% for the nine month
periods ending September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The
increase in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues for the
marine products segment was driven primarily by increased sales to dealers
at
wholesale prices. The decrease in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of
net
revenues for the security products segment was due to an increase in the average
sales prices during the period.
GROSS
PROFIT MARGIN: Gross profits on sales for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 amounted to $611,434 or 46% of net revenues, compared to $490,246, or
33%
of net revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The marine
products segment contributed $61,909 and $54,569 of the total gross profit
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The security
products segment contributed $45,354 and $189,769 of the total gross profit
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The DC
Transportation products segment contributed $504,171 and $245,908 of the total
gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The gross profit percentage for the marine products segment
decreased from 41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 39% for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007. The gross profit percentage for the
security products segment increased from 22% for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 to 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The gross profit
percentage for the DC Transportation products segment was unchanged for the
nine
month periods ending September 30, 2007 and 2006.
The
decrease in the gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the marine
products segment was driven primarily by increased sales to dealers at wholesale
prices. The increase in the gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for
the
security products segment was due to an increase in the average sales prices
during the period.
SALARIES
AND WAGES: Salaries and Wages decreased 14% from $1,020,978 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 to $880,372 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007. The decrease was due to a general downsizing implemented by management.
Salary and Wages is comprised of employee wages, benefits, taxes, and stock
compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, there was $7,857
in stock-based compensation issued to employees.
PROFESSIONAL
AND CONSULTING FEES: Professional and consulting fees decreased 26% from
$1,027,101 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $758,277 for the
nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction
in legal fees offset by an accrual for Board of Director compensation and
investor relations consulting. Professional and consulting fees include fees
paid to attorneys, accountants, Directors, and business
consultants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, stock
based compensation expense for consultants and service providers amounted to
$131,227. In addition, a charge of $69,525 was recorded as an
estimate of expected Board of Director compensation earned during the
period.
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE: Depreciation and amortization decreased 33% from
$214,454 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $142,818 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was attributable to a reduction
in
amortization expense as certain intangible assets were fully amortized as of
September 30, 2007.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT: Research and development expense decreased 17% from $507,667
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, to $423,039 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was due to a reduction in engineering
resources as the Company’s new power line products neared completion. Research
and development costs consist of all expenditures related to the improvement
and
development of the Company's current product line, new product development,
and
engineering consulting fees associated with licensed technology. Currently,
substantially all of our research and development costs and efforts are
dedicated to the development of our Security (both analog and digital), and
product segments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, of the total
Research and Development expenditures, $408,202 or 96% was related to the
security and audio products segment, $6,517 or 1.5% was related to the Marine
products segment, and $8,320 or 2.0% was related to the DC Transportation
products segment. The cost of our research and development activities is
borne
directly by the Company; no amounts are borne by our customers, nor are any
contracts for customer funded research and development currently anticipated.
The Company plans to continue funding the security, audio and DC transportation
product segments for the next several years.
ADVERTISING
AND PROMOTIONS: Advertising and promotions decreased 10% from $106,558 for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $95,903 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. The decrease was due directly to a reduction in overall
advertising and a focus on trade show attendance. The amount also includes
portions of postage, printing, and travel that are attributable to advertising
and promotions.
RENT
AND
UTILITIES: Rent and utilities decreased 4% from $145,263 for the nine months
ended, September 30, 2006 to $138,796 for the nine months ended, September
30,
2007. The decrease is due to the consolidation of the Company’s office and
warehouse facilities to new office and warehouse space effective July 1,
2006. The Company leases approximately 6,850 square feet of combined
office and warehouse space in St. Petersburg, Florida, under a non-cancellable
lease through September of 2011. The Company also leases approximately 2,400
square feet of office space in California, under a one year lease, which houses
its research and development operations. Rent and utilities includes
office rent, warehouse rent, storage, telephone, and utilities.
TRAVEL
AND ENTERTAINMENT EXPENSE: Travel and entertainment expense decreased 14% from
$102,686 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $88,768 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was attributed to decreased travel
by employees of the DC Transportation product segment. Travel and entertainment
expenses include normal expenses associated with traveling including, but not
limited to; airfare, auto rental, parking and tolls, hotels and lodging, taxis,
meals, and entertainment.
OTHER
EXPENSES: Other expenses decreased 4% from $278,794 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 to $267,458 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The
decrease was due primarily to a reduction in insurance premiums and the
elimination of telemarketing expenditures. Other expenses include supplies,
property taxes, insurance, financing fees, bank charges, provision for doubtful
accounts, postage and delivery, and various other expenses that are classified
as miscellaneous.
NON-OPERATING
INCOME (EXPENSE) ITEMS: Non-operating income (expense) decreased 50% from
$727,380 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $366,297 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. Components of non-operating expenses are as
follows:
·
|
Interest
expense increased 1119% to $1,956,157 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 from $160,503 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The
current period interest expense includes $1,364,433 of amortization
of
debt discount on the Convertible Debentures, $506,326 of amortization
of
debt discount on the short-term promissory notes payable, and $85,398
of
interest associated with notes payable outstanding during the period.
The
Company records amortization using the effective interest method
and,
accordingly, interest expense associated with these debentures will
increase as the carrying value
increases.
|
·
|
Other
income (expense) decreased 179% to $(56,713) for the nine months
ended
September 30, 2007, from $72,200 for the nine months ended September
30,
2006. Current period expense is related primarily to financing fees
incurred related to short-term financing. Amounts also
include interest earned on cash balances held by the Company throughout
the period.
|
·
|
Loss
of extinguishment of debt decreased 94% to $(75,913) for the nine
months
ended September 30, 2007, from $(1,502,286) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. The amounts are recorded in connection with our
debenture financing where we allocated the fair value of instruments
issued in connection with the financing to the proceeds and the debt
relieved on a relative fair value basis. This calculation resulted
in a
loss on extinguishment associated with the relieved
indebtedness.
|
·
|
Derivative
gain increased 6% to $2,455,080 for the nine months ended September
30,
2007, from $2,317,969 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Derivative gain arises from fair value adjustments to our derivative
financial instruments. These instruments consist of freestanding
warrants
and embedded conversion features associated with the Debenture offering.
We will continue to incur fair value adjustments to these instruments
until such instruments are converted, exercised or reclassified to
stockholders' equity. Future fair value adjustments require the use
of
subjective estimates. However, the principal drive of our valuation
model
is the Company's trading common stock. Accordingly, future volatility
in
the trading market price may result in significant changes in fair
value
that are required to be recorded as adjustments in
income.

THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NET

September 30, 2006 to $573,086 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Marine product segment sales were $44,444 or 8% of total revenues for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $31,945, or 3% of total revenues,
for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Overall, marine product sales
increased $12,499, or 39%. Security product segment sales were $81,446 or 14%
of

for

revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Overall, DC
Transportation product sales increased $313,167, or 234%. The increase in net
revenues for the marine product segment was due to a concentrated effort on
internet marketing. The decrease in net revenues for the security product
segment was because the previous year comparative quarter included a large
one
time sale to a large retailer. The increase in net revenues for the
DC transportation product segment was due to a continual expansion and upgrading
of the product line, and the acquisition of new customers from leads developed
by sales personnel and trade show attendances in prior periods.
COST
OF
GOODS SOLD: Cost of goods sold decreased 58% from $731,688 for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 to $305,809 for the three months ended September 30,

Transportation product segment increased from 45% for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 to 51% for same period ended in 2007.
The
increase in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues for the
marine products segment was driven primarily by increased sales to dealers
at
wholesale prices. The decrease in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of
net
revenues for the security products segment was due to an increase in the average
sales prices during the period. The increase in the cost of goods
sold as a percentage of net revenues for the DC Transportation product segment
was due to volume price reductions to a customer with significant purchases
during the period.

SALARIES
AND WAGES: Salaries and Wages decreased 12% from $306,757 for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 to $269,245 for the three months ended September 30,
2007. The decrease was due to a general downsizing implemented by management.

compensation.
PROFESSIONAL
AND CONSULTING FEES: Professional and consulting fees increased 160% from
$121,779 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $316,940 for the
three
months ended September 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to an accrual
for Board of Director compensation, investor relations consulting, marketing
consulting, and business development consulting. Professional and consulting
fees include fees paid to attorneys, accountants, Directors, and business
consultants. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, stock based

$57,477. In addition, a charge of $20,600 was recorded as an estimate
of expected Board of Director compensation earned during the
period.
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE: Depreciation and amortization decreased 19% from
$52,818 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $42,757 for the three
months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was attributable to a reduction
in
amortization expense as certain intangible assets were fully amortized as of
September 30, 2007.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT: Research and development expense increased 3% from $152,932
for
the three months ended September 30, 2006, to $157,973 for the three months
ended September 30, 2007. The increase was due to an increase in resources
needed relating the launch of the Company’s power line audio products. Research
and development costs consist of all expenditures related to the improvement
and
development of the Company's current product line, new product development,
and
engineering consulting fees associated with licensed technology. Currently,
substantially all of our research and development costs and efforts are
dedicated to the development of our Security (both analog and digital), and
product segments. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, 100% of the
total Research and Development expenditures were related to the security and
audio products segment. The cost of our research and development
activities is borne directly by the Company; no amounts are borne by our
customers, nor are any contracts for customer funded research and development
currently anticipated. The Company plans to continue funding the security,
audio
and DC transportation product segments for the next several years.
ADVERTISING
AND PROMOTIONS: Advertising and promotions increased 64% from $22,158 for the
three months ended September 30, 2006 to $36,234 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. The increase was due primarily increased trade show
attendance. The amount also includes portions of postage, printing, and travel
that are attributable to advertising and promotions.

ended, September 30, 2006 to $48,424 for the three months ended, September
30,
2007. The increase is due to the fact that in the prior period comparative
quarter the Company had negotiated a three month rent abatement for which no
rent expense was incurred on its corporate office lease. The Company leases
approximately 6,850 square feet of combined office and warehouse space in St.
Petersburg, Florida, under a non-cancellable lease through September of 2011.
The Company also leases approximately 2,400 square feet of office space in
California, under a one year lease, which houses its research and development
operations. Rent and utilities includes office rent, warehouse rent,
storage, telephone, and utilities.
TRAVEL
AND ENTERTAINMENT EXPENSE: Travel and entertainment expense decreased 32% from
$31,832 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $21,587 for the three
months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was attributed to decreased travel
by employees in the DC Transportation product segment. Travel and entertainment
expenses include normal expenses associated with traveling including, but not
limited to; airfare, auto rental, parking and tolls, hotels and lodging, taxis,
meals, and entertainment.
OTHER
EXPENSES: Other expenses increased 20% from $79,841 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 to $95,591 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
The
increase was due to an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts. Other
expenses include supplies, property taxes, insurance, financing fees,
bank charges, provision for doubtful accounts, postage and delivery, and various
other expenses that are classified as miscellaneous.
NON-OPERATING
INCOME (EXPENSE) ITEMS: Non-operating income (expense) increased 69% from
$59,851 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $101,117 for the three
months ended September 30, 2007. Components of non-operating expenses are as
follows:
·
|
Interest
expense increased 1460% to $1,081,728 for the three months ended
September
30, 2007 from $69,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
The
current period interest expense includes $646,977 of amortization
of debt
discount on the Convertible Debenture, $399,931 of amortization of
debt
discount on various short term promissory notes and $34,820 of interest
associated with notes payable outstanding during the period. The
Company
records amortization using the effective interest method and, accordingly,
interest expense associated with these debentures will increase as
the
carrying value increases.

·
|
Other
income (expense) decreased 241% to $(66,350) for the three months
ended
September 30, 2007, from $47,200 for the three months ended September
30,
2006. Current period expense is related primarily to financing fees
incurred in conjunction with short-term financing. Amounts also
include interest earned on cash balances held by the Company throughout
the period.

·

Derivative
gain increased 2668% to $968,546 for the three months ended September
30,
2007, from a loss of $(37,718) for the three months ended September
30,
2006. Derivative gains and losses arise from fair value adjustments
to our
derivative financial instruments. These instruments consist of
freestanding warrants and embedded conversion features associated
with the
Debenture offering. We will continue to incur fair value adjustments
to
these instruments until such instruments are converted, exercised
or
reclassified to stockholders' equity. Future fair value adjustments
require the use of subjective estimates. However, the principal drive
of
our valuation model is the Company's trading common stock. Accordingly,
future volatility in the trading market price may result in significant
changes in fair value that are required to be recorded as adjustments
in
income.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the
Company
has incurred losses from operations of $2,183,997 and $2,913,255 during the
nine
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, during
those periods, the Company has used cash of $1,162,170 and $3,688,859
respectively, in its operating activities and has a stockholders' deficit
at
September 30, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
The
Company has allocated significant resources to the development of new power
line
technologies and products that will be available for sale and/or licensing
during the third or fourth quarters of fiscal year 2007. The Company’s ability
to continue will be dependent upon achieving profitable operations through
the
licensing and sales of these new technologies and products.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon (i) raising
additional capital to fund operations (ii) the further development of the
Security, DC Transportation, and new Audio products segments, and (iii)
ultimately the achievement of profitable operations. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, the Company secured net financing of $1,253,098 in
the
form of short-term notes payable from its primary financial partner and other
various accredited investors. While the proceeds of this financing did mitigate
the Company’s liquidity difficulties for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, additional funding will be required to fund the launch of the Company’s
new power line products and technologies, which are now ready for release,
and
to fund operations through June 30, 2008, or until it can achieve profitability.
In addition to the continued effort to reduce overhead expenses through the
streamlining of its operations, the Company plans to continue to borrow funds
through the issuance of short-term convertible promissory notes until
longer-term financing can be arranged. Management and the Board of Directors
are
currently reviewing the long-term financing options available to the Company
based on its current strategic plan. The ability of the Company to sustain
its
operations for a reasonable period without further financing cannot be assured
and the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might arise as a result of this uncertainty.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 the Company funded its losses from
operations through the following vehicles:
We
borrowed $500,000 from our primary financial partner through the issuance of
two
separate unsecured promissory notes. We executed a promissory note on January
29, 2007 in the amount of $300,000. The note was due on February 28, 2007,
and
bears an 8% interest rate. On March 21, 2007, we executed a second promissory
note in the amount of $200,000. The note was due on May 5, 2007, and bears
an 8%
interest rate. Interest on each of these notes was due and payable upon the
maturity dates. On May 14, 2007, the Company received an additional $50,000
in
cash from its primary finance partner, the proceeds of which are included in
a
note payable that consolidates all outstanding notes payable with this finance
partner. The Company issued a new consolidated note payable in the
amount of $898,661 which includes the following: the retirement of the September
14, 2006 note payable in the principal amount of $300,000, the retirement of
the
January 29, 2007 note payable in the principal amount of $300,000, the
retirement of the March 21, 2007 note payable in the amount of $200,000, accrued
interest in the amount of $48,661 (including default rate interest of 18%)
on
the three aforementioned notes, and $50,000 in new proceeds received on May
14,
2007. The note bears an 8% interest rate and an 18% default interest rate for
all principal amounts outstanding beyond the maturity date. The note was due
on
July 13, 2007, but was extended by the lender until January 31,
2008.
We
borrowed $508,598 from accredited investors and related parties through the
issuance of a series of short-term 30 day promissory notes, all which bear
an
annual interest rate of 8%. The notes were issued during the months of May
through September and $468,938 remained outstanding at September 30,
2007. $408,000 of the notes included a loan origination fee for the
lender to be paid in restricted common stock in share amounts equaling 25%
of
the principal amount loaned. The shares carry piggyback registration
rights. Each of the notes are convertible, at the option of the
lender, into restricted common stock at $.60 per share, and three
year warrants to purchase an additional 50% of the converted shares at an
exercise price of $1.25 per share. $100,598 of the notes included a
loan origination fee for the lender to be paid in restricted common stock in
share amounts equaling 25% of the principal amount loaned. The shares
carry piggyback registration rights. Each of the notes are
convertible, at the option of the lender, into restricted common stock at $.35
per share, and three year warrants to purchase an additional 50% of
the converted shares at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. At
September 30, 2007, no principal amounts had been converted to common stock
and
all lenders with notes due prior to September 30, 2007 extended the maturity
date until December 15, 2007, except for $100,000 which is currently in default
(See Note 8).
We
borrowed $210,000 from an accredited investor through the issuance of a six
month convertible promissory note bearing an annual interest rate of
12%. The note was collateralized with the common stock of a third
party shareholder (See Note 8).
We
received $75,790 in proceeds from the exercise of 126,316 common stock warrants
at $.60 per share. The warrants, issued in conjunction with the
Company’s March 2006 Convertible Debenture financing, were issued at an exercise
price of $2.375 per share; however, were re-priced for a limited two week period
during the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 by approval of the Company’s
Board of Directors.
Material
Commitments:
See
Note
10 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent
Events:
On
November 6, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to
modify the conversion terms for the $471,598 of outstanding promissory notes
(See Note 8). All outstanding notes will be convertible, at the
option of the lender, into restricted common stock at $.15 per share, and three
year warrants to purchase an additional 50% of the converted shares at an
exercise price of $0.45 per share.
On
November 8, 2007, the Company received a demand letter from ICON Capital
Partners, LP, for the repayment of three short-term unsecured promissory notes
totaling $100,000. The convertible notes consisted of a $25,000 note
issued on May 11, 2007, due June 10, 2007, and extended to August 24, 2007;
a
$50,000 note issued on May 30, 2007, due on July 30, 2007, and extended to
August 29, 2007; and a $25,000 note issued on June 14, 2007, due July 13, 2007,
and extended to August 13, 2007. The demand letter asked for payment
in full of principal and interest by November 19, 2007. As of the
time of this filing, the notes remain outstanding and the Company is working
with several accredited investors to obtain additional capital to repay these
notes.
Subsequent
to December 15, 2007, the Company was in default on the remaining convertible
notes payable with a face value of $371,598. The maturity date was
not extended beyond December 15, 2007 and therefore the convertible notes were
in default. As of September 30, 2007, the convertible notes payable
are classified as current liabilities.
In
addition, subsequent to September 30, 2007, the Company borrowed and additional
$120,900 through the issuance of a series of 30 day short-term convertible
promissory notes to accredited investors on the same terms and conditions
outlined above. Subsequent to December 15, 2007, the Company was in
default on $53,000 of these notes. The maturity date was not extended
beyond December 15, 2007 and therefore the convertible notes were in
default.
