This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all information that you should consider before buying our common stock in this offering. You should read the entire prospectus carefully.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Entrada,” “the Company,” we,” “us” and “our” refer to Entrada Networks, Inc. Unless otherwise indicated, this prospectus assumes that any of our outstanding options or warrants have not been exercised into our shares of Common Stock.

Our Business. We are in the business of developing, marketing and selling products for the network connectivity industry, and we operate through three wholly owned subsidiaries. Our Torrey Pines Networks subsidiary is engaged in the development and commercialization of fully optical storage area network and metropolitan area network transport products. Torrey Pines Networks acquired all of the outstanding stock of Microtek Systems, Inc. on May 14, 2004. Microtek Systems is a provider of security, digital imaging, information infrastructures and storage solutions. Our Rixon Networks subsidiary designs, manufactures, markets, and sells a line of fast and gigabit Ethernet products that are incorporated into the remote access and other server products of Original Equipment Manufacturers. In addition, some of its products are deployed by telecommunications network operators, applications service providers, internet service providers, and the operators of corporate local area and wide area networks for the pu rpose of providing access to and transport within their networks. Our Sync Research subsidiary designs, manufactures, markets, sells and services frame relay products for some of the major financial institutions in the U.S. and abroad.

Our Industry. Our products address the connectivity needs for networked high bandwidth data communications. The networking industry has experienced increasing demand for products and services since the early 1990’s as companies discovered increasing value in connecting desktop devices through local and wide area networks. The emergence of the Internet as a cost-efficient data transport medium accelerated this movement and moved the revenue opportunity beyond the local area network to the metropolitan area network and wide area network environments. Our products address the demand for connectivity solutions in the traditional data networking markets plus the emerging market for storage area networking.

Our Strategy. During the last three years, we have increasingly focused on our Torrey Pines Networks’ product development efforts in the storage area network (SAN) and metropolitan network transport products marketplace. During fiscal 2004 we reevaluated and refocused our strategy as follows:
 
 Explore acquisition opportunities that fit into our existing technologies with emphasis on our SAN markets. We have retained the investment banking services of SBI USA, a division of First Securities USA, Inc. As part of this engagement, SBI USA is providing advisory services with respect to capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and communications with the investment community. SBI USA has also initiated a program to raise further external financing in order to allow us to pursue our business plan. This will likely allow for acceleration of organic growth opportunities, especially in the storage area network transport product line where we are developing and marketing the Silverline™-CWDM product line, and will likely enable us to actively pursue acquisition opportunities to complement the current lines of business.
 
 4
     

 
      Commercialize Torrey Pines’ optical Silverline™ SAN and metropolitan area networks transport product line.
  Bring our Rixon operation back to profitability through increased sales efforts and reduced overhead.
 
  Maintain superior service and support for our Sync legacy products to sustain our recent profitable track record.
 
    Our Common Stock. Our shares of common stock are traded over the counter (OTCBB) under the symbol “ESAN.”

RISK FACTORS

    This offering involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before making a decision to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, it is likely that our business, financial condition and operating results would be harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks described below address some of the factors that may affect our future operating results and financial performance. Please refer to our Form 10-K filed May 14, 2004 and our Form 10-QSB filed June 14, 2004 that includes additional risk factors.

    We may be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could interfere with our existing and planned operations, dilute our shareholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business. Historically, we have relied upon cash from financing activities to fund most of the cash requirements of our operating and investing activities. Although we have been able to generate some cash from our operating activities in the recent past, there is no assurance we will be able to continue to do so in the future.

    Economic conditions may cause declines in investor confidence in and accessibility to capital markets. Further, because our common stock is not listed on a national exchange, the ability of any potential or future investors to achieve liquidity from our common stock is limited, which could inhibit, if not preclude, our ability to raise additional working capital on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

Any future financing may cause significant dilution to existing shareholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock would likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. At a minimum, we expect these covenants to include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If adequate funds are not available, we may also be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations and product development efforts or to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or potential products or other assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain this financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our proprietary technology and other important assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund our continued operations and our product development efforts that historically have contributed significantly to our competitiveness.

We have limited working capital. Our working capital is limited and we are constantly challenged in executing our business plan. Additionally, our working capital does not allow us to fund significant organic growth opportunities or to cope with unforeseen contingencies. Unless we are able to secure additional external financing, for which there can be no assurance, we could be constrained in pursuing new opportunities aggressively.

8

     

 
 
 
    We have limited liquidity and resources. We have reevaluated and refocused our strategy in light of our current difficult financial condition. We believe that our strategy is viable and can be achieved. Nevertheless, unless we are able to improve revenue levels, cut further costs and raise additional capital to fund future operations, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient liquidity and resources to successfully execute our plan.

    Our strategy to increasingly focus on the operations of Torrey Pines Networks and restore the operations of Rixon Networks to profitability involves risk and may not be successful. We have increasingly focused on the operations of Torrey Pines Networks’ and product development efforts in the Storage Area Network and metropolitan network transport products marketplace. We have also focused on restoring the operations of Rixon Networks to profitability. We may be unsuccessful with this strategy. We may be unsuccessful in commercializing our optical Silverline™ SAN and MAN transport product line and we may not be able to bring the operations of Rixon Networks back to profitability through increased sales efforts and reduced overhead.
 
We rely on a relatively limited number of customers, and the loss of any significant customer could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition. Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenues and accounts receivables from a relatively limited number of customers. The loss of one or more of these customers, or their inability to pay for our products and services, could have a material and adverse effect on our operating and financial results. In fact, Cisco, our single largest customer discontinued purchasing from us an adapter card starting from the third quarter of the just ended fiscal year 2004. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2004, Cisco Systems accounted for approximately 56.7% of our consolidated net revenues.

    This has had a major impact on our revenues and operating results, and there is no expectation that the sales of this legacy product line will be restored to its former levels. The adapter card previously purchased by Cisco was scheduled to go out of production last year but had been kept in production at Cisco’s request while it qualified a replacement card.
 
    The inventory of raw materials and finished goods at hand exclusive to the adapter card shipments to Cisco amounts to approximately $0.3 million and is deemed necessary and/or sufficient for replacements in the field. Therefore, the impact on our inventory is not material.

Our industry is highly competitive, and we may not have the resources required to compete successfully. The market for network connectivity products and services and storage area network transport equipment is extremely competitive and we expect competition to continue to intensify in the future. Our primary competitors include Adaptec, Intel Corporation, Interphase, CNT, Vixel, ADVA, Ciena, TransMode, Pandatel, Finisar, and MRV Communications. We may also face competition from a number of other companies that have announced plans for new products to address the same problems that our products address. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater resources, name recognition and customer relationships than us. In particular, established companies in the telecommunications equipment or computing industries may seek to expand their product offerings by designing and selling products using competitive technology that could render our products obsolete or have a m aterial adverse effect on our revenue.

We operate in a market where emerging companies enter the markets in which we are competing and new products and technologies are introduced. Increased competition may result in further price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business.

Our business will be seriously harmed if we are not able to develop and commercialize new or enhanced products. Our growth depends on our ability to successfully develop new or enhanced products. Our next generation of network management products and coarse wavelength division multiplexing products are under development. We cannot be sure whether these or other new products will be successfully developed and introduced to the market on a timely basis or at all. We will need to complete each of the following steps to successfully commercialize new products: complete product development, qualify and establish component suppliers, validate manufacturing methods, conduct extensive quality assurance and reliability testing, complete any software validation, and demonstrate systems interoperability.

If we do not develop these products in a timely manner, our competitive position and financial condition could be adversely affected.

In addition, as we introduce new or enhanced products, we must also manage the transition from older products to newer products. If we fail to do so, we may disrupt customer ordering patterns or may not be able to ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered to meet anticipated customer demand. Any failure to effectively manage this transition may cause us to lose current and prospective customers.

We maintain high levels of inventory with low turnover. We have historically maintained high levels of inventory to meet the output requirements of our customers over which we have little influence and to support our legacy products already in service. Many of our products require custom parts with long lead times and our inventory levels allow us to provide fast response to our customer needs. While we continually review our reserves for conservative valuations, significant changes in customer demand for our products could adversely and materially affect our business.

 
Except for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2003, we incurred net losses over the recent past and may experience future losses. We have incurred losses from continuing operation during the three months ended April 30, 2004 of $0.7 million and during the twelve months ended January 31, 2004 of approximately $2.0 million, and for the years ended January 31, 2002 and 2001 of $10.7 million and $17.7 million, respectively. We have financed these losses through a combination of debt issuances, bank lines of credit and security placements. However, there can be no assurance that our working capital requirements will not exceed our ability to generate sufficient cash to support our requirements and the needed capital will have to be obtained from additional external sources.

 

 10

     

 
 
Our future growth depends on our ability to attract new customers, and on our customers' ability to sell additional services to their own customers. Most of our potential customers evaluate our network connectivity and storage area products for integrated deployment in larger systems. There are a limited number of potential customers for our products. If we are not selected by a potential customer for particular system project, our business may be seriously harmed. Similarly, our growth depends on our customers' success in selling integrated solutions based on our products and complementary products from others. Our success will depend on our ability to effectively anticipate and adapt to customer requirements and offer products and services that meet customer demands. Any failure of our current or prospective customers to purchase products from us for any r eason, including a downturn in their business, would seriously harm our ability to grow our business.

The time that our customers and potential customers require for testing and qualification before purchasing our networking products can be long and variable, which may cause our results of operations to be unpredictable. Before purchasing our products, potential customers must undertake a lengthy evaluation, testing and product qualification process. In addition, potential customers require time-consuming field trials of our products. Our sales effort requires the effective demonstration of the benefits of our products to, and significant training of, potential customers. In addition, the timing of deployment depends on many factors, including the sophistication of a customer and the complexity and size of a customer's networks. Our sales cycle, which is the period from the time a sales lead is generated until the recognition of revenu e, can often be longer than one year. The length and variability of our sales cycle is beyond our control and is affected by, among other things, our customers' build out and deployment schedules, our customers' access to product purchase financing, our customers' needs for functional demonstration and field trials, and the manufacturing lead time for our products. Because our sales cycles are long and variable, our results of operations may be unpredictable.
 
Our products may have errors or defects that we find only after deployment, which could seriously harm our business. Our products can only be fully tested after deployment. Our customers may discover errors or defects in our products, and our products may not operate as expected. If we are unable to fix errors or other problems that may be identified, we could experience loss of or delay in revenues and loss of market share, loss of customers, failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance, diversion of engineering resources, increased service and warranty costs, and legal actions by our customers. Any failure of our current or planned products to operate as expected could delay or prevent their adoption and seriously harm our business.

 11

     

 

 
If our products do not fully interoperate with our customers' systems, installations will be delayed or canceled or our products could be returned. Many of our customers require that our products be designed to interoperate with their existing networks, each of which may have different specifications and utilize a variety of protocols. Our customers' networks contain multiple generations of products that have been added over time as these networks have grown and evolved. Our products must interoperate with all of the products within these networks as well as future products in order to meet our customers' requirements. If we are required to modify our product design to be compatible with our customers' systems to achieve a sale, it may result in a longer sales cycle, increased research and development expense and reduced margins on our products. If our products do not fully interoperate with those of our customers' networks, installations could be delayed, orders for our products could be canceled or our products could be returned, any of which could seriously harm our business.

 
If we fail to establish and successfully maintain strategic alliances, our business may be harmed. Strategic alliances are an important part of our effort to expand our revenue opportunities and technological capabilities. We cannot be certain that we will be able to enter strategic alliances on terms that are favorable to us. Our business may be harmed if we fail to establish and maintain strategic alliances.

Our business may be seriously harmed if we are unable to establish successful relationships with distributors and systems integrators. We believe that our future success is dependent upon our ability to establish successful relationships with a variety of distributors and systems integrators. As we expand domestically and internationally, we will increasingly depend on distributors and systems integrators. If we are unable to establish and expand these relationships, we may not be able to increase market awareness or sales of our products, which may prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability.
 
Our business for storage area networking products may be seriously harmed if the market for storage area networking products does not develop as we expect. Our planned product offerings are focused on the needs of customers that service storage area networks. The market for storage area networking products is new, and we cannot be certain that a viable market for our products will develop or be sustainable. If this market does not develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business may be seriously harmed. Furthermore, the storage area networking industry is subject to rapid technological change and newer technology or products developed by others could render our products non-competitive or obsolete. If the standards adopted are different from those that we have chosen to support, market acceptance of our products would be significantly reduced and our business will be seriously harmed.
 
We depend upon contract manufacturers and any disruption in these relationships may cause us to fail to meet the demands of our customers and damage our customer relationships. We use contract manufacturers to manufacture and assemble our products in accordance with our specifications. We do not have long-term contracts with any of them, and none of them are obligated to perform services for us for any specific period or at any specified price, except as may be provided in a particular purchase order. We may not be able to effectively manage our relationships with these manufacturers and they may not meet our future requirements for timely delivery or provide us with the quality of products that we and our customers require.

12

     

 
 
Each of our contract manufacturers also builds products for other companies. We cannot be certain that they will always have sufficient quantities of inventory available to fill our orders on a timely basis. Qualifying a new contract manufacturer and commencing volume production is expensive and time consuming and could result in a significant interruption in the supply of our products. If we are required to change contract manufacturers, we may suffer delays that could lead to the loss of revenue and damage our customer relationships.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for some of our components, and our business may be seriously harmed if our supply of any of these components is disrupted. The major components of our products include circuit boards, microprocessors, chipsets, and memory components among other components. Most of these components are available from multiple sources. However, some components used in our products are obtained from single or limited sources and may from time to time be in short supply. We have from time to time experienced, and are experiencing, difficulty in obtaining some components. We do not have guaranteed supply arrangements with any of our suppliers, and we cannot assure you that our suppliers will continue to meet our requirements. Shortages of components could not only limit our production capacity but also could result in higher costs due to the higher costs of components in short supply or the need to use higher-cost substitute components. Significant increases in the prices of components could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations because we may not be able to adjust product pricing to reflect the increases in component costs. Also, an extended interruption in the supply of components or a reduction in their quality or reliability would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations by impairing our ability to timely deliver quality products to our customers. Delays in deliveries due to shortages of components or other factors may result in cancellation by our customers of all or part of their orders. Although customers who purchase from us products that are not readily available from other sources would be less likely than other customers of ours to cancel their orders due to production delays, we cannot assure you that cancellations will not occur.

The availability of many of these components to us is dependent in part by our ability to provide suppliers with accurate forecasts of our future requirements. In the event of a disruption in supply or if we receive an unexpectedly high level of purchase orders, we may not be able to develop an alternate source in a timely manner or at favorable prices. Any of these events could hurt our ability to deliver our products to our customers and negatively affect our operating margins. In addition, our reliance on our suppliers exposes us to potential supplier production difficulties or quality variations. Any such disruption in supply would seriously impact our present and future sales.

In addition, we have from time to time received from manufacturers "last buy" notices that indicate that one or more components that we incorporate into our products will be discontinued.

13

     

 
 
 If we are unable to participate in a last buy or are unable to purchase an adequate quantity of last buy components to cover our needs until the time, if any, that we are able to find an appropriate substitute component that works with the current design of our product or to redesign our product to allow for use of a substitute component, we may have to eliminate the product from our product line. We believe that with respect to many of our single source components, we could obtain similar components from other sources. However, in response to past last buy notices, we have been working to alter product designs on some of our products to allow us to use alternative components. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our redesign of these products or that we will not experience difficulties associated with future last buys. Further, we cannot assure you that future sev ere shortages of components that could increase the cost or delay the shipment of our products will not occur.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property, which could limit our ability to compete. We hold nine patents and have two patents pending for our Silverline™ product design. Although we attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through patents, trademarks, and copyrights, by maintaining certain technology as trade secrets and by other measures, we cannot assure you that any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights owned by us will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged; that such intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us; or that any of our future patent applications, if any, will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all. We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, or that our competit ors will not duplicate our technology or “design around” the patents that we own. In addition, effective patent, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries in which we do business or intend to do business in the future.

We believe that the future success of our business will depend on our ability to translate the technological expertise and innovation of our personnel into new and enhanced products. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology. In the future, we may take legal action to enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could harm our business and operating results.

We could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights, which could seriously harm our business and require us to incur significant costs. In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. We may be a party to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property or as a result of an allegation that we infringe others' intellectual property. Any parties asserting that our products infringe upon their proprietary rights would force us to defend ourselves, and possibly our customers or manufacturers against the alleged infringement. These claims and any resulting lawsuits, if successful, could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights. Additionally, any claims and lawsuits, regardless of their merits , would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management time and attention.

14

     

 
 
Any claims of infringement of the intellectual property of others could also force us to do one or more of the following: stop selling, incorporating or using our products that use the challenged intellectual property; obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property right a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which may not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all; or redesign the infringing products that use such technology. If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, our business may be seriously harmed.

The markets that our products address are governed by regulations and evolving industry standards. The market for our products is highly regulated and industry standards are intensive, with many standards evolving as new technologies are deployed. In the United States, our products must comply with various regulations defined by the Federal Communications Commission and standards established by Underwriters Laboratories. In addition, there are industry standards established by various organizations such as Fibre Channel Industry Association, American National Standards Institute, and Internet Engineering Task Force. We design our products in an effort to comply with those industry standards so that each particular product can be accepted by its intended customer and we are not a ware of any standards based product modifications that are currently required. To the extent non-compliance with such standards has a detrimental effect on customer acceptance, we must address such non-compliance in the design of our products. Standards for new services and network management are still evolving. However, as the standards evolve, we will be required to modify our products or develop and support new versions of our products. The failure of our products to comply or delays in compliance could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our future revenues are unpredictable and our financial results may fluctuate. Our revenue and operating results could fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter and from year to year. This could result from any one or a combination of factors such as the cancellation or postponement of orders, the timing and amount of significant orders from our largest customers, our success in developing, introducing and shipping product enhancements and new products, the mix of products we sell, new product introductions by competitors, pricing actions taken by us or our competitors, the timing of delivery and availability of components from suppliers, changes in material costs and general economic conditions.

Our business may be adversely affected by competitive pressures, which we must react to. The industry we compete in is characterized by declining prices of existing products. Therefore continual improvements of manufacturing efficiencies and introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products are required to maintain gross margins. In response to customer demands or competitive pressures, or to pursue new product or market opportunities, we may take certain pricing or marketing actions, such as price reductions, volume discounts, or provisions of services at below market rates. These actions could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

15

     

 
 
If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to take advantage of distribution channels for our products, sales of our products may decline or fail to increase. We channel many of our products through a network of distribution outlets. We are continuing to develop and solidify our relationships with certified resellers, distributors and system integrators, many of which are part of a worldwide distribution network. To the extent we are unsuccessful in our efforts to create or maintain an adequate quality and quantity of these relationships, sales of our products may decline or fail to increase as we work to establish effective channels to market.
 
We rely heavily on our management and board of directors, and the loss of any of their services could materially and adversely affect our business. Our success is highly dependent upon the continued services of key members of our management and board of directors, including our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, Dr. Kanwar J.S. Chadha, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Davinder Sethi, and Mr. James Dziak, President of Microtek. The loss of Dr. Chadha, Dr. Sethi or Mr. Dziak or one or more other key members of our management or board of directors could have a material adverse effect on us because each of these individuals has experience and skills upon which we draw heavily in our day-to-day operations and/or strategic planning activities. We do not maintain key-man life insurance policies on any member of management. Our ability to pay cash compensation to retain key members of our management and board of directors is limited by our cash flows.

 
Our common stock price is subject to significant volatility, which could result in substantial losses for investors. The stock market as a whole and individual stocks historically have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which often have been unrelated to the performance of the related corporations. During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2004 the high and low closing sale prices of our common stock were $0.32 and $0.15, respectively and for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, the high and low closing sale prices of our common stock were $0.40 and $0.11, respectively. The market price of our common stock may exhibit significant fluctuations in the future in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control and which include:

·   Variations in our quarterly operating results, which variations could result from, among other things, changes in the needs of one or more of our customers;
·   Changes in market valuations of similar companies and stock market price and volume fluctuations generally;
·   Economic conditions specific to the industries in which we operate;
·   Announcements by us or our competitors of new or enhanced products, technologies or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
·   Regulatory developments;
·   Additions or departures of key personnel; and
·   Future sales of our common stock or other debt or equity securities.

If our operating results in future quarters fall below the expectations of market makers, and investors, the price of our common stock likely will decline, perhaps substantially. In the past, securities class action lawsuits have often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. We may in the future be the target of similar lawsuits. Securities lawsuits could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources. Consequently, the price at which you purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your shares of common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

16

     

 
 
Shares of our common stock eligible or to become eligible for public sale could adversely affect our stock price and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital through sales of equity securities. As of July 31, 2004, we had outstanding 15,430,076 shares of common stock, a substantial portion of which were unrestricted, were eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, or were registered for resale or issued with registration rights. Disregarding beneficial ownership limitations that apply to some holders of our derivative securities, as of July 31, 2004, we also had outstanding options and warrants that were exercisable for or convertible into approximately 9,158,915 shares of common stock, nearly all of which were issued with registration rights. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price for our common stock. Any adverse effect on the market price for our common stock could make it difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

    Because our stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, you may find it difficult to dispose of or obtain quotations for our common stock. Our common stock trades under the symbol "ESAN" on the OTC Bulletin Board. Because our stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board rather than on a national securities exchange, you may find it difficult to either dispose of, or to obtain quotations as to the price of, our common stock.

Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the shares beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly, or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or the purchasers of the shares. If the shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses (cr osses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade) or block transactions:

·   on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
 
·   in the over-the-counter market;
 
·   in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market,
 
·   through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise, or
 
·   through the settlement of short sales.

In connection with sales of the common stock or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions, provided that the short sale is made after the registration statement is declared effective and a copy of this prospectus is delivered in connection with the short sale. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-deal ers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).
 
    The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to the prospectus.

23

     

 
 
The selling shareholders also may transfer, pledge or donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of the prospectus. Upon our being notified by a selling shareholder that a donee or a pledgee intends to sell more than 5,000 shares, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At any time a particular offer of the securities is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will disclose:

·   The name of the selling shareholder and any participating underwriters, broker-dealers or agents;
·   The aggregate amount and type of securities being offered;
·   The price at which the securities were sold and other material terms of the offering;
·   Any discounts, commissions, concessions or other items constituting compensation from the selling shareholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
·   That the participating broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information in this prospectus or incorporated in this prospectus by reference.

We cannot assure you that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

The business was formed in California in 1989 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1995 when it went public. At no time has the company had any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.
 
On May 14, 2004, our subsidiary, Torrey Pines Networks, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Microtek Systems, Inc. from Mr. James Dziak. Microtek Systems is a provider of security, digital imaging, information infrastructures and storage solutions. Mr. Dziak will continue as President of the company and the company will retain its current management and technology teams.

Microtek is built on core competencies of engineering strength, proprietary software and service quality to offer highly specialized services in consulting, assessment, and solutions to challenges in security, digital imaging, storage, and information infrastructures. It has an installed customer base across financial, healthcare and insurance sectors, particularly among clients in the mid-west. Microtek showed revenues of approximately $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and $3.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. It is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
 
During the last three years, the primary focus has been on our Torrey Pines Networks product development in the Storage Area Network (hereafter to be called SAN) and metropolitan network transport products marketplace.
 
Torrey Pines Networks has developed several products for the SAN marketplace that have been certified and are being evaluated by a number of potential customers. We have received regulatory & industry certifications for our first Silverline™ coarse wave division multiplexing product line, and are in the process of introducing it into the market. Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing, or CWDM, is a sophisticated optoelectronics technology that uses multiple wavelengths of light very efficiently to greatly increase the number of video, data or voice channels of information that can be sent on a single optical fiber in a transmission system. Designed to interconnect geographically separate data centers, the Silverline™ CWDM is our first fully optical Linux based 8-channel/4-port CWDM product line that is based on our patent-pending technology. It is a multi-protocol aggregation device that supports Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, fibre connectivity or enterprise system connection to a mainframe and SONET, on one fully customized system. SONET is a transmission protocol for high-speed transmission over fiber optic cable, which was introduced by Bell Communications in 1984 and quickly accepted by American National Standards Institute. The parts for these products are readily available and our technology is protected by patents that are pending and trademarks. While in an overall competitive market, we are unique with our specific products that include customized features and price point.

Sync Research (“Sync”) designs, manufactures, markets, sells and services frame relay products for some of the major financial institutions in the U.S. and abroad.

We support our customers by providing product training, regular mailing of promotional and technical material, telephone and other technical support.

Our Strategic Plan is to:
 
Explore acquisition opportunities that fit into our existing technologies with emphasis on our SAN markets. We have retained the investment banking services of SBI USA, a division of First Securities USA, Inc. As part of this engagement, SBI USA is providing advisory services with respect to capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and communications with the investment community. SBI USA has also initiated a program to raise further external financing in order to allow us to pursue our business plan. This calls for acceleration of organic growth opportunities, especially in the storage area network transport product line where we are developing and marketing the Silverline™-CWDM product line, and is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities to complement the current lines of business.

Commercialize Torrey Pines’ optical Silverline™ SAN and metropolitan area networks transport product line.

Maintain superior service and support for our Sync legacy products to sustain our recent profitable track record.

    Explore acquisition opportunities that fit into our existing technologies with emphasis on our SAN markets. We have retained the investment banking services of SBI USA, a division of First Securities USA, Inc. As part of this engagement, SBI USA is providing advisory services with respect to capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and communications with the investment community. SBI USA has also initiated a program to raise further external financing in order to allow us to pursue our business plan. This calls for acceleration of organic growth opportunities, especially in the storage area network transport product line where we are developing and marketing the Silverline™-CWDM product line, and is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities to complement the current lines of business.

Commercialize Torrey Pines’ optical Silverline™ SAN and metropolitan area networks transport product line.

Bring our Rixon operation back to profitability through increased sales efforts and reduced overhead.
Maintain superior service and support for our Sync legacy products to sustain our recent profitable track record.

Our change in profitability

Cisco Systems, Inc., our single largest customer, discontinued purchasing from us an adapter card starting from the third quarter of the just ended fiscal year 2004. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2004, Cisco Systems, accounted for approximately 56.7% of our consolidated net revenues. We had no revenue from Cisco Systems for the three months ended April 30, 2004.

This has had a material impact on our revenues and operating results. In fiscal 2004 and the three months ended April 30, 2004, we made the following operating changes as shown on the following consolidated table, in thousands, which has reduced our operating costs $0.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2004 compared for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2003. These changes included reducing personnel and reviewing every expense item with the intent to reduce or eliminate it:

Results of Operations/Comparison of the Three Months Ended April 30, 2004 and 2003
 
Net revenues. Net revenues were $0.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2004, compared with $2.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2003. The decrease in net revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2002 resulted primarily from Cisco Systems, Inc. discontinued purchasing from us and from the decreases in our service revenues.

Our Sync Research net revenues from the frame relay and service business declined 44.2% to $0.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2004 compared to $0.4 million net revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2003. The largest portion of the drop for three months ended April 30, 2004 came from a 45.7% drop in service net revenues from $0.3 million in three months ended April 30, 2003 to $0.2 million for three months ended April 30, 2004. This drop was due to reduced service contracts from our legacy products.

Our Sync Research product revenues decreased 40.3%compared to three months ended April 30, 2004 and 2003.

Our Rixon Networks net revenues are primarily from adapter card product revenues. These product revenues decreased $2.1million or 94.3% to $0.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2004 from $2.3 million the three months ended April 30, 2003. This was primarily due to Cisco Systems, Inc. discontinued purchasing from us.

We had no revenues from our Torrey Pines Network subsidiary.

Gross profit. Cost of revenue consists principally of the cost of components and subcontract assembly from outside manufacturers, in addition to in-house system integration, quality control, final testing and configuration. Overall gross profit declined to $43 thousand for the quarter ended April 30, 2004 from $1.2 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2003. Our gross margin decreased to 11.3% for the three months ended April 30, 2004 as compared to 44.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2003. This is primarily due to fixed manufacturing costs and the loss of revenue.

Our Sync Research gross profit of $0.1 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2004 dropped by $0.1 million or 54.2% compared to $0.2 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2003. This was primarily due to lower service revenues offset partially by lower costs.

Our Rixon Networks negative gross profit of $55 thousand for the quarter ended April 30, 2004 compared to a positive gross profit of $1.0 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2003. This again relates primarily to the loss of Cisco Systems, Inc as a customer.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, commissions to sales representatives, tradeshow expenses, facilities costs, and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $78 thousand, or 20.5% of net revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2004, compared to $0.2 million or 7.3% of net revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2003. The increase in selling and marketing percentages reflects primarily the lower revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2004.

Engineering, research and development. Engineering, research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation related costs for engineering personnel, facilities costs, and materials used in the design, development and support of our technologies. Engineering, research and development expenses were $0.2 million, or 63.2% of net revenues, for the quarter ended April 30, 2004, compared with $0.3 million, or 10.5% of net revenues, for the quarter ended April 30, 2003. The increase in research and development percentage was primarily due to the lower revenues.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, legal and accounting fees and public company costs. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.1 million to $0.4 million or 106.1% of net revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2004 compared to $0.5 million, or 16.7 % of net revenues, for the quarter ended April 30, 2003.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2004, were $0.0 million compared with $0.1 million or 2.2% of net revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2003. The amount in Fiscal 2004 was for our unoccupied facility in Annapolis Junction, MD.

 
  34  

 
 
Income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2004 and 2003. At April 30, 2004, our deferred income tax assets consist of net operating loss carry forwards. At April 30, 2003 the Company had available federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $75.5 million and $26.3 million, respectively, for income tax purposes. The federal and state losses will expire in varying amounts through 2021 and 2007, respectively. As of January 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 our effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due to state taxes net of federal benefit, and other items.

The utilization of the loss carry forwards as an offset to future taxable income is subject to limitations under U.S. federal income tax laws. One such limitation is imposed when there is a greater than 50% ownership change. We believe that such an ownership change occurred on August 31, 2000. Of the approximately $75.5 million and $26.3 million NOL for federal and state taxes, approximately $64 million and $20.6 million will be subject to such limitation, respectively.

    The benefit of the Company's operating loss carry forwards has been reduced 100% by a valuation allowance at April 30, 2004 and 2003

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital was $1.6 million at April 30, 2004, a decrease of $0.6 million from the $2.1 million at April 30, 2003. Cash flow used by operations was $401 during the three months ended April 30, 2004 compared with $398 provided by operations for the three months ended April 30, 2003. The decrease in cash flows provided by operations reflects a net loss from operations after adjustment for non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, reserves and valuation allowances as well as a decrease in accounts receivable. During the three months ended April 30, 2004, operating cash flow reflected increases in cash used for accounts payables and accrued expenses offset by decreases in current assets. During the same three months last year, our cash flow provided by operations reflected decreases in accounts receivable along with accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Our investing activities consist primarily of purchases of property, plant and equipment and investing activities. Investments activities were $5 thousand in the three months ended April 30, 2004.

Our financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2004 provided cash flows of $0.5 million, primarily in connection with short-term bank and other debt. During the three months ended April 30, 2003, $82 thousand was used primarily in conjunction with repayment of capital lease obligations and short-term debt.
 
Our Silicon Valley Bank credit facility has a maximum limit of $2.0 million, subject to a limitation equal to 65% of our eligible receivables plus the lesser of $1.0 million or 40% of the liquidation value of our eligible inventory. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5% (6.5% at April 30, 2004). In connection with the line of credit, we issued Silicon Valley Bank five-year warrants to purchase 75,757 shares of our common stock at $3.30 per share. The warrants were valued at $54,000 at the time of issuance. The $54,000 of deferred interest was amortized as interest expense over the twelve month term of the credit arrangement in the fiscal year 2002. The credit arrangement is subject to covenants regarding our tangible net worth, and is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The credit facility will expire on October 31, 2004. In M arch 2003 the bank increased our eligible receivables limit to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. We were not in compliance with our bank line of credit covenants as of January 31, 2004. On April 19, 2004 our bank lowered our required minimum tangible net worth to $2.5 million. As of April 30, 2004, we were in compliance.
 
Outstanding borrowings against this line of credit were $123 thousand at April 30, 2004. We anticipate that our available cash resources will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated capital requirements through fiscal 2005. We continue to pursue external equity financing arrangements that could enhance our liquidity position in the coming years. Nonetheless, our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned including the need for additional working capital to accommodate infrastructure needs. There can be no assurances that our working capital requirements will not exceed our ability to generate sufficient cash internally to support our requirements and that external financing will be available or that, if available, such financing can be obtained on terms favorable to us and our shareholders.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our valuation of inventory and our allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable. We base our 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 app arent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 
  35  

 
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

  •  Since we account for and report our physical inventory at the "lower of cost or market", and such inventory comprises 70% of our current assets and 58% of total assets at Jan 31, 2004, we carefully evaluate the market value of that inventory on a continual basis.  In a business such as ours, wherein we are stocking replacement parts to satisfy a customer's unknown needs, determining obsolescence is an inherently subjective process.  Adjustments to obsolescence reserves are made based on judgments of market value that are supported by our best estimates of the future salability of specific items in that inventory.

  •  Accounts receivable balances are evaluated on a continual basis and allowances are provided for potentially uncollectable accounts based on management's estimate of the collectability of customer accounts. If the financial condition of a customer were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional allowance may be required. Allowance adjustments are charged to operations in the period in which the facts that give rise to the adjustments become known.

The following table presents, at April 30, 2004, our obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts and contingent commitments.

Overview

Two major changes occurred in fiscal year ended January 31, 2004.

Our change in strategies

During the last three years, we have increasingly focused on our Torrey Pines Networks’ product development efforts in the Storage Area Network and metropolitan network transport products marketplace. During fiscal 2004 we reevaluated this strategy which are provided here in order of priority:
 
·   Explore acquisition opportunities that fit into our existing technologies with emphasis on our SAN markets. We have retained the investment banking services of SBI USA, a division of First Securities USA, Inc. As part of this engagement, SBI USA will provide advisory services with respect to capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and communications with the investment community. SBI USA has also initiated a program to raise further external financing in order to allow us to pursue our business plan. This calls for acceleration of organic growth opportunities, especially in the storage area network transport product line where we are developing and marketing the Silverline™-CWDM product line, and to actively pursue acquisition opportunities to complement the current lines of business.
 
·   Commercialize Torrey Pines’ optical Silverline™ SAN and metropolitan area networks transport product line.
 
·   Bring our Rixon operation back to profitability through increased sales efforts and reduced overhead.
 
·   And, maintain superior service and support for our Sync legacy products to sustain our recent profitable track record.

Our change in profitability

Cisco Systems, Inc., our single largest customer, discontinued purchasing from us an adapter card starting from the third quarter of the just ended fiscal year 2004. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2004, Cisco Systems, accounted for approximately 56.7% of our consolidated net revenues.

This has had a material impact on our revenues and operating results. In fiscal 2004, we made the following operating changes as shown on the following consolidated table, in thousands, which has reduced our operating costs $1.2 million for fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. These changes included reducing personnel and reviewing every expense item with the intent to reduce or eliminate it:

    Our change in inventory reserves and its impact on our operating results.

We have historically kept high inventory levels to maintain our ability to service our customers quickly as indicated. This year, we reviewed our legacy product lines and added to our inventory reserves $1.1 million. This impacted our product cost of sales increasing from 65.8% as a percent of revenue in fiscal 2004 to 86.8% and increased our net loss correspondingly from $887,000 to $1,984,000 or from $0.7 per share to $0.15 per share.

Results of Operations: Comparison of the Years Ended January 31, 2004 and January 31, 2003

Net revenue. Our consolidated net revenue from continuing operations was $6.2 million for fiscal 2004, compared to $13.6 million for fiscal 2003. Product revenues decreased to $5.2 million for fiscal 2004 from $12.2 million for fiscal 2003. The decrease in product revenue for fiscal 2004 resulted primarily from the loss of our major customer, Cisco. Service revenue decreased from $1.4 million in fiscal 2003 to $1.0 million in fiscal 2004. The decrease was due primarily to the decline in frame relay service customer renewals.

Our Sync Research net revenues from the frame relay and service business declined 21.1% to $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 compared to $1.9 million net revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003.

 

  39  

 
 
Our Sync Research service revenue declined $0.4 million or 28.2% compared to fiscal year 2003 primarily due to the loss of several service customers.

Our Rixon Networks net revenues were primarily from adapter card product revenues. These product revenues decreased $7.0 million or 59.8% to $4.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 from $11.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. This was primarily due to the loss of Cisco as previously described.

We had no revenues in our Torrey Pines Network subsidiary.

Gross profit. Cost of revenues consists principally of the costs of components, subcontract assembly from outside contract manufacturers, and in-house system integration, quality control, final testing, configuration costs and outside service costs. Gross profit decreased to $1.4 million for the fiscal 2004 from $6.5 million for fiscal 2003. Our gross margin decreased to 22.6% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 from 47.8% for fiscal 2003. The decrease in gross margins resulted primarily from the increased provision for inventory reserves and the loss of our major customer, Cisco.

Our Sync Research gross profit of $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 dropped by $0.4 million or 36.4% compared to $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. This was primarily due to a 51.6% increase in service cost of sales to $0.3 million due to a prior year credit cost adjustment for over accrued services.

Our Rixon Networks gross profit of $0.7 million decreased by $4.7 million or 87.0% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 over the gross profit of the prior fiscal year of $5.4 million. Decreased net revenues and the increased provision for inventory reserves during the fiscal year were the major elements of the increase.


Other operating expenses. In both fiscal years the other operating expense was rent expense for our under utilized facility in Annapolis Junction, MD. The decreased expense for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 was due to a lease termination agreement for this facility effective July 31, 2003. This lease was to have otherwise expired in October 2004.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, commissions to sales representatives, tradeshow expenses and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased due to reductions in selling and marketing costs reflects primarily personnel reductions that were the end result of facility and organizational consolidations begun in fiscal 2002.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, legal and accounting fees, public company costs, and occupancy costs. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to the consolidation of all of our operations in our Irvine, CA facility and organizational restructuring finalized during fiscal year 2004.

Engineering, research and development. Engineering, research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation related costs for engineering personnel, facilities costs, and materials used in the design, development and support of our technologies. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Engineering, research and development expenses remained on track for the development of our Torrey Pines’ products.

Income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for fiscal years 2004 and 2003. We have carry forwards of domestic federal net operating losses, which may be available, in part, to reduce future taxable income in the United States. However, the Internal Revenue Code limits the application of net operating loss carry forwards in the event of ownership changes of greater than 50%. We had a change of ownership in fiscal year 2001 that will limit the amount of any net operating loss carry forward we may use in a particular year.

Results of Operations: Comparison of the Years Ended January 31, 2003 and January 31, 2002

Net revenue. Our consolidated net revenue from continuing operations was $13.6 million for fiscal 2003, compared with $13.3 million for fiscal 2002. Product revenues increased to $12.2 million for fiscal 2003 from $10.1 million in fiscal 2002. The increase in product revenue for fiscal 2003 resulted primarily from increased revenue from OEMs and end users of networking adapter card products. Service revenue decreased from $3.1 million in fiscal 2002 to $1.4 million in fiscal 2003. The decrease was due primarily to a decline in major frame relay service customer renewals.

Our Sync Research net revenues from the frame relay and service business declined 63.9% to $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 compared to $5.5 million net revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. The largest portion of the drop for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 came from a 75.6% drop in frame relay product net revenues from $2.2 million in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 to $0.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. This drop was due to several large one-time orders in fiscal year 2002 and market impact of the discontinuance of the business prior to it being retained.

Our Sync Research service revenue declined $1.8 million or 55% compared to fiscal year 2002 primarily due to the loss of several major service customers.

Our Rixon Networks net revenues were primarily from adapter card product revenues. These product revenues increased $3.8 million or 47.2% to $11.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 over $7.9 million the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. This was primarily due to an increase in our original equipment manufacturer’s business.

We had no revenues in our Torrey Pines Network subsidiary.

Gross profit. Cost of revenues consists principally of the costs of components, subcontract assembly from outside contract manufacturers, and in-house system integration, quality control, final testing, configuration costs and outside service costs. Gross profit increased to $6.5 million for the fiscal 2003 from $5.5 million for fiscal 2002. Our gross margin increased to 47.8% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 from 41.5% for fiscal 2002. The increase in gross margins resulted primarily from our cost reductions that included both facility consolidations and personnel reductions.

Our Sync Research gross profit of $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 dropped by $2.1 million or 70.0% compared to $3.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. This was primarily due to a 48% drop in service gross profit to $1.1 million due to fewer support customers and a frame relay product gross profit drop to $0.0 million due to close outs done during the period.

Our Rixon Networks gross profit of $5.4 million increased by $2.9 million or 116% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 over the gross profit of the prior fiscal year of $2.5 million. Increased net revenues and personnel and facility cost reductions during the fiscal year in combining our Annapolis Junction, MD and our San Diego, CA facilities into our Irvine, CA facility of $0.9 million were the major elements of the increase.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, commissions to sales representatives, tradeshow expenses and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $0.8 million for fiscal 2003 from $3.4 million for fiscal 2002. The reduction in selling and marketing costs reflects personnel reductions and facility consolidations in fiscal 2002. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 6.1% for fiscal 2003 from 25.9% for fiscal 2002.

Engineering, research and development. Engineering, research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation related costs for engineering personnel, facilities costs, and materials used in the design, development and support of our technologies. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Engineering, research and development expenses decreased to $1.2 million, or 8.6% of net revenue, for fiscal 2003, compared with $6.5 million, or 49.0% of net revenue, for fiscal 2002. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to cost savings achieved through the consolidation of facilities and personnel reductions.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, legal and accounting fees, public company costs, and occupancy costs. General and administrative expenses were $2.1 million, or 15.7% of net revenue, for fiscal 2003, compared with $4.0 million, or 30.4% of net revenue, for fiscal 2002. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the consolidation of all of our operations in our Irvine, CA facility and organizational restructuring during fiscal year 2003

 

  41  

 
 
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for fiscal 2003 include a $0.5 million reserve recorded against our closed facility in Annapolis Junction, MD. This is a decrease from the fiscal 2002 other operating expense of $1.7 million which included expenses from the staff reductions and severance through the closure of our Annapolis Junction, MD and San Diego, CA facilities and the reduction in our marketing, sales, and research and development.

Income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for fiscal years 2003 and 2002. We have carry forwards of domestic federal net operating losses, which may be available, in part, to reduce future taxable income in the United States. However, the Internal Revenue Code limits the application of net operating loss carry forwards in the event of ownership changes of greater than 50%. We had a change of ownership in fiscal year 2001 that will limit the amount of any net operating loss carry forward we may use in a particular year.

Discontinued operations. In September 2000, our Board of Directors had concluded that the operations of our frame relay business would not contribute to our profitability or toward our goal of entering the storage area networking market space and adopted a formal plan to discontinue this business operated by Sync. On September 6, 2001, we announced our restructuring plan creating three separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The discontinued frame relay business was retained as Sync Research, Inc. as one of the three subsidiaries. Sync Research, Inc. will continue to serve its current frame relay customers and provide manufacturing, service and repair facilities for the other subsidiaries. On September 18, 2001 our Board of Directors approved a plan to reclassify Sync Research as an operating unit. In this capacity, Sync Research, Inc. became an integral part of the Entrada Net works. For more details on the discontinued operation, please refer to the “Results of Operations: Comparison of the Years Ended January 31, 2002 and January 31, 2001”, Discontinued operations section in our 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 filed with the SEC May 1, 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At January 31, 2004, our working capital was $2.2 million and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $72,000. At January 31, 2003, our working capital was $3.5 million and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $0.9 million.

Cash flow used by operations was $0.2 million during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 compared with cash flow provided by operations of $0.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. Cash flow used by operations in fiscal 2004 reflects a $2.0 million net loss from operations, adjustments for non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, and reserves, less a $0.4 million decrease in accounts payable, less a $0.6 million decrease in accrued expenses, plus a $0.9 million decrease in accounts receivable. During fiscal 2003, cash flow provided by operations in fiscal 2003 reflects $1.7 million of net profit from operations, adjustments for non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, and reserves, less a $1.7 million decrease in accounts payable, less a $1.5 million decrease in accrued expenses, plus a $0.6 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $0.5 million decrease in inventories.
 
Our investing activities consist primarily of purchases of property, plant and equipment. We purchased $4,007 and $25,500 in equipment during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, during fiscal year 2004, we repurchased 18,001 shares of our common stock from shareholders in the open market pursuant to a previously announced odd-lot repurchase program and 384,615 shares from our Chairman and CEO pursuant to an agreement approved by our independent directors. The aggregate purchase price for the 402,616 shares of our common stock was $126,667.

Our financing activities during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 included repayments on our bank loan of $0.4 million and $68,000 for the repayment of the remainder of our capital leases.

Our Silicon Valley Bank credit facility has a maximum limit of $2.0 million, subject to a limitation equal to 65% of our eligible receivables plus the lesser of $1.0 million or 40% of the liquidation value of our eligible inventory. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5% (6.5% at January 31, 2004). In connection with the line of credit, we issued Silicon Valley Bank five-year warrants to purchase 75,757 shares of our common stock at $3.30 per share. These warrants were valued at $54,000. The $54,000 deferred interest was amortized as interest expense over the twelve-month term of the credit arrangement in the fiscal year of 2002. The credit arrangement is subject to covenants regarding our tangible net worth, and is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The credit facility will expire on October 31, 2004. In March 2003, the bank increased our eligible receivables limit to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. We were not in compliance with our bank line of credit covenants as of January 31, 2004 due to the impact of the added inventory reserves. On April 19, 2004, we became compliant after our bank lowered our minimum required tangible net worth to $2.5 million. This is shown in the attached amendment to our line of credit.

While we anticipate an operating loss for the next quarter and the year based on the loss of revenues from Cisco and our declining legacy service contracts, we are working toward a positive cash flow with our personnel reductions and cost cutting measures. However, there can be no assurance that future revenue gains from our additional sales personnel or anticipated cost reductions will occur or be sufficient to maintain operations if there are further reductions in revenue from changes in the economy or our product marketing areas.
 
To this end, on November 25, 2003, we entered into an agreement to sell 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to a small group of investors at a price of $0.20 per share, or $600,000 in the aggregate. The sale will be made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The closing is contingent upon the shares being registered for resale under that Act.

On February 6, 2004, to raise interim financing, we have issued a one-year 18% Promissory Note for $500,000 secured by our assets and with warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.35 per share for three years with piggyback registration rights. The loan matures on January 29, 2005 and the Company has the right to prepay the loan without any penalties.

 

  43  

 
 
As of March 31, 2004, the stock registration had not been completed.

On May 14, 2004 the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with SBI Brightline IV LLC, and Trilogy Investment Fund I, LLC ("Purchasers"). Subject to the terms of the Agreements the Company may issue and sell to the Purchasers and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company up to 9,000,000 shares of common stock in four tranches as defined below:

On May 14, 2004, the Company entered into a Term Loan agreement with Hong Kong League Central Credit Union and Brightline Bridge Partners 1, LLC ("Lenders") and SBI Advisors, LLC as agent for the Lenders for $1,000,000. The Term Loan shall be repaid by January 29, 2005 without prepayment penalties. The Term Loan bears interest at 24% per annum. SBI Brightline IV, LLC and Brightline Bridge Partners 1, LLC received on May 14, 2004, three year warrants to purchase 3,450,000 and 1,550,000 common stock shares, respectively, exercisable at $0.16 per common share as part of this transaction. Also, $75,000 of compensation expense in cash and 125,000 shares of common stock will be recorded in the second quarter of current fiscal year 2005. These warrants also have piggyback registration rights.
 
On May 14, 2004, Torrey Pines Networks, the Company’s subsidiary, acquired Microtek Systems, a leading provider of security, digital imaging, information infrastructures and storage solutions. Microtek was privately held and is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Under the terms of this acquisition, we acquired all of the issued capital stock of Microtek for $750,000 in cash, $150,000 in promissory notes, 1,302,083 shares of our common stock, and other consideration. Of the $1,000,000 Term Loan that we closed, $750,000 of it went as cash consideration to buy Microtek.

Microtek is built on core competencies of engineering strength, proprietary software and service quality to offer highly specialized services in consulting, assessment, and solutions to challenges in security, digital imaging, storage, and information infrastructures. It has an installed customer base across financial, healthcare and insurance sectors, particularly among clients in the mid-west. Microtek showed revenues of approximately $3.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. It is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and currently has seventeen employees.

Effects of Inflation and Currency Exchange Rates

We believe that the relatively moderate rate of inflation in the United States over the past few years has not had a significant impact on our revenue or operating results or on the prices of raw materials. There can be no assurance, however, that inflation will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results in the future.

All of our revenue and expenses are currently denominated in U.S. dollars and to date our business has not been affected by currency fluctuations. In the future, however, we could conduct business in several different countries and thus fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our products to become relatively more expensive in particular countries, leading to a reduction in revenue in that country. In addition, inflation in such countries could increase our expenses. In the future, we may engage in foreign currency denominated revenue or pay material amounts of expenses in foreign currencies and, in such event, may experience gains and losses due to currency fluctuations. Our operating results could be adversely affected by such fluctuations.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2001, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 applied to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2003, the SEC issued SAB 104, which supersedes SAB 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. The primary purpose of SAB 104 is to rescind the accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21. We adopted EITF 00-21 and SAB 104 with no material impact on our financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our valuation of inventory and our allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable. We base our 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 appare nt from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

  45  

 
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

  •       Since we account for and report our physical inventory at the "lower of cost or market", and such inventory comprises 70% of our current assets and 58% of total assets at Jan 31, 2004, we carefully evaluate the market value of that inventory on a continual basis.  In a business such as ours, wherein we are stocking replacement parts to satisfy a customer's unknown needs, determining obsolescence is an inherently subjective process.  Adjustments to obsolescence reserves are made based on judgments of market value that are supported by our best estimates of the future salability of specific items in that inventory.

  •       Accounts receivable balances are evaluated on a continual basis and allowances are provided for potentially uncollectable accounts based on management's estimate of the collectability of customer accounts. If the financial condition of a customer were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional allowance may be required. Allowance adjustments are charged to operations in the period in which the facts that give rise to the adjustments become known.

Other Matters

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any outstanding legal proceedings, we believe that such legal proceedings and claims, individually and in the aggregate, are not likely to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

In the merger agreement between Sync Research and our former parent, Sorrento Networks Corporation, Sorrento agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless against any liability arising after the merger in connection with the termination of a certain frozen defined pension plan maintained by Rixon Networks. A consultant retained by Sorrento and by the successor corporation to the entity from whom Sorrento originally purchased the company that became Rixon Networks, had advised them that the cost of termination of the pension plan in question could be in excess of $3 million. In the opinion of our special counsel, we are not responsible for this termination cost and our obligation is to oversee the administration of the plan.

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Entrada Networks, Inc., the “Company,” “We,” “Our” or “Us,” has prepared, without audit, the accompanying financial data for the three months ended April 30, 2004 and 2003 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The January 31, 2004 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United S tates of America. However, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2004.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of April 30, 2004 and for the three months ended April 30, 2003, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 148 (SFAS No. 148), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  — Transition and Disclosure  — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company is required to follow the prescribed format and provide the additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 in its ann ual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 and must also provide the disclosures in its quarterly reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning with the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003 (April 30, 2003 for us). The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did result in a modification of disclosure in our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2004, and results in modified disclosure in our quarterly financial statements included in this quarterly report.

Guarantor’s Accounting for Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others - In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” In the course of business the Company has contractual guarantees in the form of warranties. However, these warranties are limited and do not represent significant commitments or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of others. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 and did not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” This pronouncement requires the consolidation of variable interest entities, as defined, and is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2002, and for variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We have no variable interest entities and thus this interpretation does not have a material impact our financial statements.

    On February 6, 2004, we received $500,000 in debt financing from an unrelated and unaffiliated party. As part of this financing, we issued a one-year 18% Promissory Note secured by our assets and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.35 per share for three years with piggyback registration rights. The Company has the right to prepay the loan without any penalties. This loan matures on January 29, 2005.
 
TREASURY STOCK

During April 2004, the Company re-issued 166,667 of our 384,615 treasury shares at cost to SBI Advisors, LLC for payment of fees in connection with the short-term debt issued on February 6, 2004. The fair value of the re-issued treasury shares are included in deferred interest costs in the amount of $28.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

We are authorized to issue the following shares of stock:

  2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
 
During the quarter ended April 2004, the Company issued 500,000 warrants for their relative fair value. The deferred interest cost related to the warrants will be amortized over the life of the short-term debt issued February 6, 2004.

We had loss of ($737) for the three month period ended April 30, 2004. Accordingly, the effect of dilutive securities including vested and non-vested stock options to acquire common stock are included in the calculation of EPS because the effect would be dilutive. The following data shows the effect of including the effect of dilutive securities on determining the weighted average number of common shares used to compute diluted EPS.

The shares issuable upon exercise of options represent the quarterly average of the shares issuable at exercise net of the shares assumed to have been purchased, at the average market price for the period, with the assumed exercise proceeds. Accordingly, options with exercise prices in excess of the average market price for the period are excluded because their effect would be antidilutive. Options to purchase common shares that were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per shares because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period each option was outstanding were 2,135,434 and 689,301 for the three months ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGINCIES
 
Our Silicon Valley Bank credit facility has a maximum limit of $2.0 million, subject to a limitation equal to 65% of our eligible receivables plus the lesser of $1.0 million or 40% of the liquidation value of our eligible inventory. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5% (6.5% at April 30, 2004). In connection with the line of credit, we issued Silicon Valley Bank five-year warrants to purchase 75,757 shares of our common stock at $3.30 per share. The warrants were valued at $54,000 at the time of issuance. The $54,000 of deferred interest was amortized as interest expense over the twelve month term of the credit arrangement in the fiscal year 2002. The credit arrangement is subject to covenants regarding our tangible net worth, and is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The credit facil ity will expire on October 31, 2004. In March 2003 the bank increased our eligible receivables limit to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. We were not in compliance with our bank line of credit covenants as of January 31, 2004. On April 19, 2004 our bank lowered our required minimum tangible net worth to $2.5 million. As of April 30, 2004, we were in compliance.

Under its bylaws, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director’s serving in such capacity. In addition, the Company has indemnification agreements with four of its directors that requires, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify them to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by its bylaws and the Delaware Corporation Code. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company has a directors and officer liability insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is mi nimal and has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of April 30, 2004.

The Company enters into indemnification provisions under (i) its agreements with other companies in its ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors, and customers, landlords and (ii) its agreements with investors. Under these provisions the Company generally indemnifies and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company's activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party's activities under the agreement. These indemnification provisions often include indemnifications relating to representations made by the Company with regard to intellectual property rights. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. In addition, in some cases, the Company has agreed to reimburse employees for certain expenses and to provide salary continuation during short-term disability. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of April 30, 2004.
 
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. As regards the former, we place our temporary cash investments with high credit financial institutions. At times such amounts may exceed F.D.I.C. limits.

Although we are directly affected by the economic well being of significant customers listed in the following tables, management does not believe that significant credit risk exists at April 30, 2004. We perform ongoing evaluations of our customers and require letters of credit or other collateral arrangements as appropriate.

At April 30, 2004, Geico accounted for 53.7%, Ingram Micro accounted for 15.6% and Lucent Technologies accounted for 10.1% of net receivables. At January 31, 2004 IntegraSys accounted for 62.0% and Ingram Micro accounted for 14.0% of net receivables.

Customers accounting for more than 10% of net revenues during the quarters ended April 30, 2004 and 2003 were:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Shareholders and Board of Directors
Entrada Networks, Inc.
Irvine, California

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entrada Networks, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Thousands, except share and per share amounts)


A.   THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
Entrada Networks, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), is in the business of developing, marketing and selling products for the network connectivity segments. Our Torrey Pines Networks (“Torrey Pines”) subsidiary designs, manufactures, markets and sells storage area network (“SAN”) transport switching products. Our Rixon Networks (“Rixon”) subsidiary designs, manufactures, markets and sells a line of fast and gigabit Ethernet products that are incorporated into the remote access and other server products of Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”). In addition, some of its products are deployed by telecommunications network operators, applications service providers, internet service providers, and the operators of corporate local are a and wide area networks for the purpose of providing access to and transport within their networks. And, our Sync Research (“Sync”) subsidiary designs, manufactures, markets, sells and services frame relay products for some of the major financial institutions in the U.S. and abroad.

    We operate from our facility in Irvine, California.

The Company, incorporated in Delaware as Sync Research, Inc., is the product of a reverse merger completed on August 31, 2000 with a wholly owned subsidiary of Sorrento Networks Corporation. This subsidiary was doing business as Entrada Networks. Subsequent to the merger, the former parent of Entrada Networks disposed of 5,517,500 of its shares of our common stock and holds approximately 458,286 or 3.3% of our common shares outstanding as of January 31, 2004.
 

    Management’s Plan The Company has reported operating losses for four out of the most recent five fiscal years. For the year ended January 31, 2004, Entrada reported operating losses of approximately $2.0 million and negative cash flows from operations of $172. The Company has also had an accumulated deficit of $49.1 million. In 2003 and 2002, Entrada reported operating income (loss) of $1.7 million and ($10.7) million, positive (negative) cash flows from operations of $760 and ($4.2) million. Management and the Board of Directors have approved a plan of operation for fiscal 2005 that forecasts modest sales growth, additional expense reductions, and additional financings for acquisitions. Management has thorough ly discussed these plans to address the Company’s current difficult financial state, and while there is agreement that the plan to assure our continued existence is viable and can be achieved, there can be no assurance that these plans will come to fruition. The strategic plan developed by Management and approved by the Board of Directors calls for the Company to:

        Commercialize Torrey Pines Networks’ optical Silverline™ SAN and metropolitan area networks transport product line.

    Explore acquisition opportunities that fit into our existing technologies with emphasis on our storage markets. We have retained the investment banking services of SBI USA, a division of First Securities USA, Inc. As part of this engagement, SBI USA will provide advisory services with respect to capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and communications with the investment community. SBI USA has also initiated a program to raise further external financing in order to allow us to pursue our business plan. This calls for acceleration of organic growth opportunities, especially in the storage area network transport product line where we are developing and marketing the Silverline™-CWDM product line, and we are actively pursuing acquisition opportunities to complement the current l ines of business.

       Bring our Rixon operation back to profitability through increased sales efforts and reduced overhead.

           And, maintain superior service and support for our Sync legacy products to sustain our recent profitable track record.

    Discontinued operations. In September 2000, our Board of Directors had concluded that the operations of our frame relay business would not contribute to our profitability or toward our goal of entering the storage area networking market space and adopted a formal plan to discontinue this business operated by Sync.

The $10.4 million loss on the disposal of Sync during the fiscal year ended January 21, 2001 is as follows:

 
Item
Amount (millions)
 
Description



Inventory impairment
$ 2.2
This adjustment records a full reserve against the cost basis of Sync’s inventory based upon the intent to abandon the inventory. This assumes that as a discontinued operation, the inventory value is zero as the need to dispose of inventory would result in minimal return.
Severance
1.1
This adjustment records the costs associated with the termination of our employees and assumes the elimination of all of the Sync employees: 45 people including 8 change of control/contract personnel.
Vendor payables
1.1
We recorded an accrual for costs due and payable under the termination provisions of an agreement with a contract manufacturing vendor.
Lease termination accrual
0.7
We recorded an accrual for the remaining lease costs and lease related costs for the physical location of the discontinued operations, net of sub lease income.
Goodwill impairment
4.3
Assumes 4.2 million shares at $2.75 per share offset by the valuation of Sync Research of $8.4 million at August 30, 2000 with the addition of $1.1 million merger expenses.
Fixed asset impairment
1.0
This adjustment assumed that the Sync fixed asset book value would be fully reserved as a discontinued operation due to the abandonment of fixed assets.

Total Loss
$10.4

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(In Thousands, except share and per share amounts)
 
On September 6, 2001, we announced our restructuring plan creating three separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The discontinued frame relay business was retained as Sync Research, Inc. as one of the three subsidiaries. Sync Research, Inc. will continue to serve its current frame relay customers and provide manufacturing, service and repair facilities for the other subsidiaries. On September 18, 2001, our Board of Directors approved a plan to reclassify Sync Research as an operating unit. In this capacity, Sync Research, Inc. became an integral part of Entrada Networks.

Sync Research, Inc. was reclassified as an operating unit during the third quarter of fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. The $3.4 million offsetting balance in the fiscal 2002 income statement is the balance of the goodwill of $4.3 million reduced by the $0.9 million Sync Research income at the interim period when Sync was retained.

B.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

All references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending on the January 31 of that year. For example, references to fiscal 2004 refer to the fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2003 and ending on January 31, 2004.

Principles of Consolidation The balance sheets as of January 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 reflect our accounts and all subsidiaries controlled by us after the elimination of significant inter-company transactions and balances.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the loss on disposal of discontinued operations. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents All cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents amounts pledged as collateral for remaining lease payments on the facility occupied by us in Irvine, California. This collateral was released during fiscal 2004.

Accounts Receivable In the normal course of business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers related to the sales of various products. Typically, credit terms require payment within thirty days from the date of shipment. We evaluate and monitor the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our continuing evaluation of our customers’ credit risk. We generally do not require collateral from our customers.

Inventory Inventories, comprised of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and spare parts, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories at January 31, 2004 and 2003 consist of:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(In Thousands, except share and per share amounts)
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The fair value of financial instruments, consisting of cash and equivalents and short term debt, are determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe that there are no material differences between the recorded book values of our financial instruments and their estimated fair value.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets or the terms of the leases, if shorter, using straight-line methods. Useful lives for property and equipment range from 3 to 7 years.

Capitalized leases are initially recorded at the present value of the minimum payments at the inception of the contracts, with an equivalent liability categorized as appropriate under current or non-current liabilities. Such assets are depreciated on the same basis as described above. Interest expense, which represents the difference between the minimum payments and the present value of the minimum payments at the inception of the lease, is allocated to accounting periods using a constant rate of interest over the lease.

Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the asset’s undiscounted expected cash flows are not sufficient to recover its carrying amount. We measure impairment loss by comparing the fair market value, calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, to its net book value. Impairment losses, if any, are recorded currently.

Software Development – Software development costs where technological feasibility has not been established are expensed in the period in which they occurred. Internal software development costs are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1. Otherwise, development costs that will become an integral part of our products are deferred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. The deferred costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product or the ratio that current revenues for the product bear to the total of current and anticipated future revenues for that product. There was no internal software that was terminated and expensed for the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

Research and Development – We expense research and development costs as incurred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”. Research and development costs are costs associated with products or processes for which technological feasibility has not been proven and future benefits are uncertain.

Revenue Recognition We generally recognize product revenue when the products are shipped, all substantial contractual obligations, if any, have been satisfied, and the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from installation is recognized as the services are performed to the extent of the direct costs incurred. Revenue from service obligations is deferred and recognized over the life of the contract. Inventory or demonstration equipment shipped to potential customers for field trials is not recorded as revenue. We accrue for estimated sales returns and other allowances at the time of shipment. Although some of our products contain a software component, the software is not sold separately and we are not contra ctually obligated to provide software upgrades to our customers.

Warranty and Customer Support We typically warrant our products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one to five years from the date of sale and a provision for estimated future warranty and customer support costs is recorded when revenue is recognized. To date, warranty and customer support costs have not been material.

Income Taxes – Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The statement employs an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of deferred income taxes generally allowing for recognition of deferred tax assets in the current period for future benefit of net operating loss and research credit carry forwards as well as items for which expenses have been recognized for financial statement purposes but will be deductible in future periods. A valuation allowance is recognized if, on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. (See Note J).

Advertising – We expense advertising expenditures as incurred. Advertising expenses consist of direct expenditures. Advertising expenses for fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002 were $0, $0, and $184, respectively.

Income and Loss Per Common ShareBasic income and loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as well as dilutive potential common shares, which in our case consist of shares issuable under stock option plans and warrants. Potential common shares would not be included in the diluted loss per share computation for fiscal 2002 and 2001, as they would be anti-dilutive. (See Note M).

Stock-Based Compensation All stock options issued to employees have an exercise price not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and in accordance with the accounting for such options utilizing the intrinsic value method there is no related compensation expense recorded in our financial statements. Options which were granted prior to our August 31, 2000 merger were valued as part of the consideration for the merger. Had compensation cost for stock-based compensation been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates in accordance with the method delineated in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 our net loss and loss per share for the years ended January 31, 2004, and 2002 would have been increased, and our income and income per share f or the year ended January 31, 2003 would have decreased :

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations - In June 2001, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or i ncurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections - In April 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 145 (SFAS No. 145), “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” effective on or after May 15, 2002. This Statement rescinds SFAS No. 4 and an amendment of that Statement, and SFAS No. 64. This Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44. SFAS No. 145 prevents gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt that do not meet the criteria of APB 30 to be treated as extraordinary. This Statement amends SFAS No. 13, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transac tions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities - In June 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 146 (SFAS No. 146), “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” effective for activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Guarantor’s Accounting for Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others - In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” In the course of business the Company has contractual guarantees in the form of warranties. However, these warranties are limited and do not represent significant commitments or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of others. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” This pronouncement requires the consolidation of variable interest entities, as defined, and is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2002, and for variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We have no variable interest entities and thus this interpretation is not expected to have a material impact our financial statements.

Our Silicon Valley Bank credit facility has a maximum limit of $2.0 million, subject to a limitation equal to 80% of our eligible receivables plus the lesser of $1.0 million or 40% of the liquidation value of our eligible inventory. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5%(6.5% at January 31, 2004). In connection with the line of credit, we issued Silicon Valley Bank five-year warrants to purchase 75,757 shares of our common stock at $3.30 per share. The warrants were valued at $54,000 at the time of issuance. The $54,000 of deferred interest was amortized as interest expense over the twelve month term of the credit arrangement in the fiscal year 2002. The credit arrangement is subject to covenants regarding our tangible net worth, and is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The credit faci lity will expire on October 31, 2004. We were not in compliance with our bank line of credit covenants as of January 31, 2004. On April 19, 2004, we became compliant as of April 30, 2004 after our bank lowered our minimum required equity to $2.5 million.

H.   LEASES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

Rental expense under operating leases was $, $686, and $911for the years ended January 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. There were no future commitments in excess of one year as of January 31, 2004.

The net book value of equipment under capital leases was $0 and $100 at January 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

In the merger agreement between Sync Research and our former parent, then Osicom Technologies, Inc. and now Sorrento Networks Corporation, Sorrento agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless against any liability arising after the merger in connection with the termination of a certain frozen defined pension plan maintained by Rixon Networks, Inc. A consultant retained by Sorrento and by the successor corporation to the entity from whom Sorrento originally purchased the company that became Rixon Networks, had advised them that the cost of termination of the pension plan in question could be in excess of $3 million. Sorrento, after consultation with the entity from whom Sorrento originally purchased what is now Rixon Networks, are to advise us of their arrangement for the termination or continuation of the plan. To date Sorrento and the original entity has made minimum required contributions to the plan. In the opinion of our special counsel, we are not responsible for the termination cost and our obligation is to oversee the administration of the plan. We have not recorded any reserve for the cost of termination.

I.   LITIGATION

From time to time we are involved in various litigation and proceedings incidental to the normal conduct of our business. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any outstanding legal proceedings, we believe that such legal proceedings and claims, individually and in the aggregate, are not likely to have a material effect on our financial position, the results of operations or cash flows.

J.   STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

We are authorized to issue the following shares of stock:
 
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock ($.001 par value)
 
2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock ($.001 par value)

None of our preferred stock was outstanding during the years ended January 31, 2004 and 2003.

K.   STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK AWARD PLAN

We have four stock options plans with outstanding options: The 1991 Stock Option Plan, the 1996 Stock Option Plan, the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the 2000 Stock Option Plan. Only the 2000 Stock Option Plan is active. This plan provides for the granting of incentive or non-statutory stock options to certain key employees, non-employee members of the Board of Directors, consultants and independent contractors. Options are granted at a price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options typically vest at a rate of 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 1/36th of the remaining shares at the end of each month and expire not later than 10 years from the date of grant. The purpose of this plan is to attract, retain, motivate and reward our officers, directors, employees and consult ants to maximize their contribution toward our success.

L.   INCOME TAXES

    At January 31, 2004, our deferred income tax assets consist primarily of net operating loss carry forwards. The deferred tax asset was fully reserved as of January 31, 2004.

In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that insufficient evidence exists to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

At December 31, 2003 the Company had available federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $91 million and $30 million, respectively, for income tax purposes. The federal and state losses will expire in varying amounts through 2022 and 2008, respectively. As of January 2004, 2003 and 2002 our effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due to state taxes net of federal benefit, and other items.

The utilization of the loss carry forwards as an offset to future taxable income is subject to limitations under U.S. federal income tax laws. One such limitation is imposed when there is a greater than 50% ownership change. We believe that such an ownership change occurred on August 31, 2000. Of the approximately $91 million and $30 million NOL for federal and state taxes, approximately $64 million and $20.6 million will be subject to such limitation, respectively. At January 31, 2004 and 2003, we recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset to zero because the recognition of the tax benefit could not be assured.

We incurred a net loss from continuing operations for the years ending January 31, 2004 and 2002. Accordingly, the effect of dilutive securities including vested and non-vested stock options, warrants, and convertible debt, to acquire common stock are not included in the calculation of EPS because their effect would be antidilutive.

P.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

This note is specified in dollar amounts

On February 6, 2004, we received $500,000 in debt financing from an unrelated and unaffiliated party. As part of this financing, we issued a one-year 18% Promissory Note secured by our assets and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.35 per share for three years with piggyback registration rights. The Company has the right to prepay the loan without any penalties. This loan matures on January 29, 2005.

On May 14  2004, the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with SBI Brightline IV LLC, and Trilogy Investment Fund I, LLC ("Purchasers"). Subject to the terms of the Agreements the Company may issue and sell to the Purchasers and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company up to 9,000,000 shares of common stock in four tranches as defined below:

    The Company may elect to sell all or part of Tranche Shares in the order listed above to the Purchasers at any time commencing on the date on which the Registration Statement of the Company covering the resale of the Shares is declared effective. The Company plans to file this Registration Statement in May 2004.

On May 14,  2004, the Company entered into a Term Loan agreement with  Hong Kong League Central Credit Union and Brightline Bridge Partners 1, LLC ("Lenders") and SBI Advisors, LLC as agent for the Lenders for $1,000,000. The Term Loan shall be repaid by January 29, 2005 without prepayment penalties. The Term Loan bears interest at 24% per annum. SBI Brightline IV, LLC and Brightline Bridge Partners 1, LLC received May     , 2004, three year warrants to purchase 3,450,000 and 1,550,000 common stock shares, respectively, exercisable at $0.16 per common share as part of this transaction. Also, $75,000 of compensation expense in cash and 125,000 shares of common stock will be recorded in the second quarter of current fiscal year 2005.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin
 
    We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Microtek Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Microtek Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Business
Microtek Systems, Inc. (MSI) is a solutions provider, which includes reselling computer hardware, software and maintenance contracts. In addition, MSI provides technical services and support for the systems MSI installs. Focus is on paper intensive industries (such as insurance) with MSI Document Imaging and Management products. Security products and services are sold to all industries, with a majority of this currently being financial institutions. As computer infrastructure becomes more pervasive, the market is also demanding solutions for system storage and backup.


Method of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.


Cash and Cash
 
Equivalents
Cash equivalents represent funds in certificate of deposit accounts with maturities of less than one year.


Accounts Receivable
and Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. MSI performs continuing credit evaluations of their customers’ financial condition.
 
Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. MSI includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in their overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based upon information available to MSI, management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2003 to be adequate.


Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.


Prepaid Costs
Prepaid costs represent MSI’s unexpired portion of maintenance fees. These fees are amortized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically 12 months. Prepaid costs and expenses on the Balance Sheet include approximately $374 and $190 of prepaid costs at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.


Property and
Equipment

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Business
Microtek Systems, Inc. (MSI) is a solutions provider, which includes reselling computer hardware, software and maintenance contracts. In addition, MSI provides technical services and support for the systems MSI installs. Focus is on paper intensive industries (such as insurance) with MSI Document Imaging and Management products. Security products and services are sold to all industries, with a majority of this currently being financial institutions. As computer infrastructure becomes more pervasive, the market is also demanding solutions for system storage and backup.


Method of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.


Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Cash equivalents represent funds in certificate of deposit accounts with maturities of less than one year.


Accounts Receivable
and Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. MSI performs continuing credit evaluations of their customers’ financial condition.
 
Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. MSI includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in their overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based upon information available to MSI, management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2004 to be adequate.


Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.


Prepaid Costs
Prepaid costs represent MSI’s unexpired portion of maintenance fees. These fees are amortized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically 12 months. Prepaid costs and expenses on the Balance Sheet include approximately $299 of  unexpired maintenance fees at March 31, 2004.


Property and
Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is charged against results of operations utilizing the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives of the related assets.

Revenue Recognition
and Deferred Revenue
Revenue from product sales and related training services is recognized upon customer acceptance and delivery of the product and as the training services are performed provided that no significant contractual obligations remain. Revenues also include separate maintenance fees whereby MSI provides ongoing customer support and product upgrades.

Deferred revenue represents training and consulting services not yet performed and the unexpired portion of maintenance fees.


Shipping and
Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are included in Cost of Revenues.


Income Taxes
Before its acquisition, MSI had elected to be taxed as an S-Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and certain state statutes.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation permits indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The bylaws of the Registrant require the Registrant to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that such person was or is a director or officer of the Registrant or that, being or having been such a director or officer of the Registrant, such person is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another business entity, against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant and, with res pect to any criminal third party proceeding (including any action or investigation which could or does lead to a criminal third party proceeding) had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The Registrant may also indemnify any person who was or is an authorized representative of the Registrant and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of the Registrant, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the court in which such corporate proceeding was pending shall d etermine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such authorized representative is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Such indemnification is mandatory under the Registrant’s by-laws as to expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the extent that an authorized representative of the Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any third party or corporate proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. The determination of whether an individual is entitled to indemnification may be made by a majority of disinterested directors, independent legal counsel in a written legal opinion or the shareholders.

The Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation if such party acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, as determined in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. Delaware law further provides that indemnification shall be provided if the party in question is successful on the merits otherwise. In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law does not permit indemnification in an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly and reasonably is entitled to indemnity for costs the court deems proper in light of liability adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully defended.

The Registrant maintains a directors and officers liability insurance policy.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)     To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in “Cal culation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Entrada Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (Registration No. 333- ), covering the registration of 14,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). We have been asked to issue an opinion as to whether the Common Stock being registered will, when sold, be legally issued, fully paid, non-assessable, and binding obligations of the Company.

As counsel to the Company, we have examined the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended to date, and other corporate records of the Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinion hereinafter set forth. We have relied, to the extent we deem such reliance proper, upon certain factual representations of officers and directors of the Company given in certificates, in answer to our written inquiries and otherwise, and, although we have not independently verified all of the facts contained therein, nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that any of the statements contained therein are untrue or misleading.

In making the aforesaid examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to original documents of all copies furnished to us. We have assumed that the corporate records of the Company furnished to us constitute all of the existing corporate records of the Company and include all corporate proceedings taken by it.

Based solely upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock being registered hereunder, when sold, will be duly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of such shares by the Company is not subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the aforesaid Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus.

Very truly yours,
 
/s/ Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith, Ravin, Davis & Himmel, LLP
