Explanatory Note

The Company has noted two typographical processing errors in Footnote 8 (Income Taxes) to its Consolidated Financial Statements. The third table within the footnote, which discloses the components of the Company’s net deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance, reported the December 31, 2005 deprecation and amortization and basis difference as ($122,000) and $1,808,000, respectively. The December 31, 2005 depreciation and amortization and basis difference reported should have been $717,000 and ($1,808,000), respectively.

The net change in the Company’s valuation allowance is now reported as ($1,246,000) instead of ($1,531,000) as originally filed, as a result of the typographical processing error corrections noted above.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This report includes, in addition to historical information, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Act provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than statements of historical fact we make in this report or in any document incorporated by reference are forward-looking statements. In particular, the statements regarding industry prospects and our future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those described in the forward looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report. Statements included in this report are based upon information known to us as of the date that this report is filed with the SEC, and we assume no obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements made in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by applicable federal securities laws.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of GraphOn Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of GraphOn Corporation and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 GraphOn Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GraphOn Corporation

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company. GraphOn Corporation (the “Company”) was founded in May 1996 and is incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company’s headquarters are currently in Santa Cruz, California. The Company develops, markets, sells and supports business connectivity software, including Unix, Linux and Windows server-based software, with an immediate focus on web-enabling applications for use by Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Application Service Providers (ASPs), corporate enterprises, governmental and educational institutions, and others, primarily in the United States, Asia and Europe.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”), significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. In the Company’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements presented herein include all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. These estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated lives of intangible assets, depreciation of fixed assets and accrued liabilities, among others. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or useful lives of the respective assets, generally seven years.

Shipping and Handling. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue for all periods presented.

Purchased Technology. Purchased technology is amortized on a straight line basis over the expected life of the related technology or five years, whichever is less.

Patents. The patents acquired in the NES acquisition are being amortized over their estimated remaining economic lives, currently estimated to be approximately 5 years, as of December 31, 2005. Costs associated with filing, documenting or writing patents are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized Software Costs. Under the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility, in the form of a working model, has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales based on either estimated current and future revenue for each product or straight-line amortization over the shorter of three years or the remaining estimated life of the product, whichever produces the higher expense for the period.

Impairment of Intangible Assets. Impairment tests on intangible assets are performed on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. In response to changes in industry and market conditions, the Company may strategically realign resources and consider restructuring, disposing of, or otherwise exiting businesses, which could result in an impairment of intangible assets.

Revenue. Software license revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the software product has been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is considered probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the media containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. In the case of electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the licensed programs. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.

Revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements is allocated to each element arrangement based on the relative fair values of the elements. If there is no evidence of the fair value for all the elements in a multiple-element arrangement, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such evidence exists or until all elements are delivered. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses when all the following conditions are met:

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

The price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and

 

 

8

 



 

 

 

Collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as licenses for software products, maintenance, consulting services or customer training. The determination of fair value is based on objective evidence. The Company limits its assessment of objective evidence for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.

Certain of the Company’s ISV, VAR or ASP customers (individually “reseller” or collectively “resellers”) prepay for licenses they intend to resell. Upon receipt of the prepayment, if all other revenue recognition criteria outlined above have been met, the Company recognizes licensing revenue when the reseller is given access to the licensed programs. The resellers provide monthly sell-through reports that detail, for the respective month, various items, such as the number of licenses purchased, the number they have sold to third parties, the ending balance of licenses they hold as inventory available for future sale and certain information pertaining to their customers such as customer name, licenses purchased, purchase date and contact information. The Company monitors the resellers’ inventory records via the monthly sell-through reports.

Other resellers will only purchase licenses when they have already closed a deal to sell the Company’s product to another party. These resellers will typically submit a purchase order in order to receive product that they can deliver to their customer. In these cases, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria, as set forth above, have been satisfied, the Company recognizes licensing revenue when the reseller has been given access to the licensed programs. There are no rights of return granted to resellers or other purchasers of the Company’s software programs.

The Company recognizes revenue from service contracts ratably over the related contract period, which generally ranges from one to five years.

Segment information. The Company operates in one business segment.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on assessments of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than historical experience, the allowance for doubtful accounts is increased.

Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets, liabilities and carryforwards using enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Realization is dependent upon future pre-tax earnings, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax income, and the expected tax rates in effect in future periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Notes receivable. The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet for the note receivable – shareholder reflects the current principal balance remaining to be repaid to the Company. The estimated fair value is based on the Company’s estimates of interest rates on similar instruments.

Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are assessed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, or whenever the Company has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the assets. Generally, the Company determines fair value based on appraisals, current market value, comparable sales value, and undiscounted future cash flows as appropriate. Assets to be held and used affected by such impairment loss are depreciated or amortized at their new carrying amount over the remaining estimated life; assets to be sold or otherwise disposed of are not subject to further depreciation or amortization.

Loss Contingencies. The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers the likelihood of the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable

that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to it to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

Stock-Based Incentive Programs. The Company accounts for its stock-based incentive programs using the intrinsic value method, as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and interpretations thereof (collectively APB 25). Accordingly, the Company records deferred compensation expense costs related to its employee stock options when the market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of each option on the date of grant. The Company records and measures deferred compensation for stock options granted to non-employees, other than members of the board, at their fair value. Deferred compensation is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related stock option for options issued to employees. Deferred compensation is expensed on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the vesting period of the related stock option or the contractual period of service for option grants to non-employees. The Company did not grant any stock options at exercise prices below the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s deferred compensation balance was $6,200. The accompanying statements of operations reflects stock-based compensation expense of $2,700 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

An alternative to the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation is the fair value approach prescribed by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS 148 (hereinafter collectively referred to as SFAS 123). If the Company followed the fair value approach, the Company would be required to record deferred compensation based on the fair value of the stock option at the date of grant. The fair value of the stock option must be computed using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes option valuation method, at the date of grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option. See New Accounting Pronouncements.

SFAS 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if compensation cost for the stock option plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value-based method prescribed in SFAS 123 throughout the year. The Company estimated the fair value of stock options at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing-model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in both 2005 and 2004: dividend yield of 0; expected volatility of 60%; risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and expected lives (approximately) of five years, for all plan options.

Under SFAS 123, the Company’s net loss and the basic and diluted net loss per common share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts below.

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock. SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding other common stock equivalents, including common stock options, warrants and redeemable convertible preferred stock, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, 19,022,157 and 6,641,957 shares, respectively, of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since their effect would be antidilutive.

Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during the period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income, which are excluded from net income, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gain/loss of available-for-sale securities. The individual components of comprehensive income (loss) are reflected in the statements of shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was comprised of foreign currency translation gains and the cumulative change in the market value of the available-for-sale securities.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS No. 154 changes the accounting for and the reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle unless impracticable. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. As of the effective date, the Company will be required to expense all awards granted, modified, cancelled or repurchased as well as the portion of prior awards for which requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123 “Stock-Based Compensation.” The Company will apply SFAS No. 123R using a modified version of prospective application.

Under this method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS No. 123R for either recognition or pro forma disclosures. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R as of January 1, 2006. The Company expects the adoption SFAS No. 123R will have a material impact on its statement of operations. Compensation expense associated with stock options and similar awards will now be recorded in the statement of operations, instead of being reported within the footnote disclosures to the financial statements. The Company expects such recorded future compensation expense, as calculated under SFAS No. 123R, to approximate amounts that have historically been disclosed within the footnotes to prior years’ financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Patents (Network Engineering Software Acquisition)

On January 31, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Network Engineering Software (“NES”) in exchange for 9,599,993 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $3,916,800, and approximately $897,800 in cash payments to settle various claims against NES prior to the acquisition.

Approximately $665,000 of the $897,800 cash payments was made in December 2004 by AIGH Investment Partners, LLC (“AIGH”), an affiliate of a principal stockholder (Orin Hirschman), to settle, on the Company’s behalf, certain third party litigation against NES. The Company reimbursed this amount through a partial credit against the price of its securities acquired by AIGH in the 2005 private placement (See Note 2).

The Company incurred $525,800 of transaction costs, resulting in a purchase price of $5,340,400. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Accordingly, the assets acquired (primarily consisting of patents, patent applications, and in-process patent applications) have been recorded at their estimated fair value. The results of operations of NES are included in the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $2,151,200, resulting from a difference between the tax basis and financial statement basis of the assets acquired. Furthermore, the Company has recorded a corresponding $2,151,200 reduction in its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2005 to reflect management’s estimate that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the tax benefits from utilization of certain of its tax net operating loss carryforwards from future reversals of the taxable temporary differences arising from the NES acquisition. These amounts have been netted together on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The estimated cost of the patent related assets is being amortized over its estimated remaining five year life, as of December 31, 2005, using the straight-line method. For the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately $821,000 of amortization was charged against the cost of the patent related assets. No such amortization was charged in the prior year. The Company anticipates charging approximately $889,000 of amortization against the cost of the patent related assets in each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and approximately $74,000 in the year ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2004, prior to the consummation of the acquisition, the Company had deferred approximately $269,700 of the acquisition costs. These deferred acquisition costs are included in the transaction costs above.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the consolidated results of the Company as if the NES acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of such period, nor is it indicative of future results of operations. The pro forma amounts give effect to appropriate adjustments for the fair value of the patents, amortization and income taxes.

$ 5,340,400

 

The fair value of the stock issued was based upon the issuance of 9,599,993 shares of the Company’s common stock at approximately $0.408 per share. The fair value of the liabilities settled with cash includes the $665,000 cash payments made by AIGH, as previously discussed.

2. Deemed Dividends on Preferred Stock

On February 2, 2005, the Company completed the 2005 Private Placement, which raised a total of $4,000,000 (inclusive of the $665,000 credit issued to AIGH; See Note 1) through the sale of 148,148 shares of Series A preferred stock and five-year warrants to purchase 74,070 shares of Series B preferred stock.

The deemed fair value of the Series A preferred stock was estimated based on the market price and underlying number of common shares they would have converted into had the conversion occurred immediately upon their issuance. The market price for the Company’s common stock on the commitment date of the 2005 private placement was $0.46 and the Series A preferred stock would have converted into 14,814,800 common shares, thus deriving an estimated fair value of approximately $6,814,800 at that date.

The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $1,877,700 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 1.5%, a volatility factor of 60%, a dividend yield of 0% and a five year contractual life.

Based on the relative fair values of the Preferred Shares and the warrants at the time of their issuance, the Company allocated $3,136,000 of the $4,000,000 proceeds of the 2005 Private Placement to the Preferred Shares and $864,000 to the warrants.

The Preferred Shares issued by the Company contained a non-detachable conversion feature (the “Beneficial Conversion Feature”) that was in-the-money upon completion of the 2005 Private Placement, in that the deemed fair value of Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares could be converted exceeded the allocated value of $3,136,000 by $3,678,800 (using the intrinsic value method). This discount resulting from recording the Beneficial Conversion Feature was limited to the allocated proceeds of $3,136,000 and was recognized as if this amount had been declared a non-cash dividend to the preferred shareholders when the preferred stock converted to common stock.

Additionally, the approximate $864,000 discount resulting from the allocation of the proceeds of the 2005 Private Placement on a relative fair value basis to the Series A preferred shares and the warrants issued in the 2005 Private Placement was also recognized as if this amount had been declared a non-cash dividend to the preferred shareholders when the preferred stock converted to common stock.

On March 29, 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing its authorized but unissued common stock from 45,000,000 to 195,000,000 shares. Upon the effectiveness of the certificate of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation implementing this increase, each share of Series A preferred stock was automatically converted into 100 shares of common stock and each warrant was automatically converted into a warrant to purchase that number of

 

12

 



 

shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of preferred stock subject to the warrant multiplied by 100. As a result, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (148,148 shares) were converted into 14,814,800 shares of common stock. In addition, upon the effectiveness of the certificate of amendment, all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Series A preferred stock (14,815 shares) and Series B preferred stock (81,477 shares) were converted into five-year warrants to purchase 1,481,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.27 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 8,147,700 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, respectively.

5. Note Receivable – Shareholder.

On October 6, 2004, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire NES (see Note 1). The Company contemporaneously loaned $350,000 to Ralph Wesinger, NES’ majority shareholder, to fund his purchase of all the NES common stock then owned by another person. The Company received Mr. Wesinger’s 5-year promissory note, which bears interest at a rate of 3.62% per annum and which was secured by his approximately 65% equity interest in NES, to evidence this loan. Mr. Wesinger also agreed that the Company would receive 25% of the gross proceeds of any sale or transfer of any of Mr. Wesinger’s NES shares, which shall be applied in reduction of the then outstanding balance of his note, until the note is paid in full or becomes due, whichever occurs first. The Company has the option to accelerate the maturity date of this note upon the occurrence of certain events.

Upon completion of the Company’s acquisition of NES (see Note 1), the 52,039 shares of NES common stock collateralizing the note receivable were replaced by 4,830,207 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2005, 1,500,000 of such shares had been sold, resulting in payments to the Company of approximately $89,900 and $15,600, principal and interest, respectively, and 3,330,207 shares collateralized the note.

 

6. Accrued Liabilities.

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

7. Stockholders’ Equity.

Common Stock. During 2004 the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock as part of a private placement (the “2004 private placement”) that resulted in gross proceeds of $1,150,000, which were offset by costs associated with the private placement aggregating approximately $218,600. The Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants that had been issued in conjunction with the 2004 private placement, resulting in gross proceeds of $6,900.

 

13

 



 

 

During 2005 the Company issued 148,148 shares of Series A preferred stock and five-year warrants to purchase 74,070 shares of Series B preferred stock as part of the 2005 private placement (See Note 2) that raised gross proceeds of $4,000,000, which were offset by costs aggregating approximately $1,888,200.

Under the terms of the 2005 private placement, upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, all shares of Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock would automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at a rate of 100 shares of Common Stock for each share of preferred stock, and all warrants issued in the 2005 private placement would automatically become exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a rate of 100 shares of Common Stock for each share of preferred stock underlying such Warrants.

At the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, held on March 29, 2005, the stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of common shares from 45,000,000 to 195,000,000. Consequently, an aggregate of 148,148 shares of Series A preferred stock were converted into 14,814,800 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 74,070 Series B preferred stock were converted into warrants to purchase an aggregate 7,407,000 shares of common stock.

The Company also issued to Griffin Securities Inc., (“Griffin”) as a placement agent fee in respect to the 2004 private placement, warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.23 per share and warrants to acquire 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. Additionally, pursuant to an agreement dated December 16, 2003 with Griffin, the Company paid Griffin a $50,000 agent fee and issued to Griffin five-year warrants to purchase 14,815 shares of Series A preferred stock at an exercise price of $27.00 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 7.407 shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $40.00 per share as a finder’s fee in respect of the 2005 private placement.

Also during 2005, the Company acquired NES (See Note 1) for 9,599,993 shares of common stock, the assumption of approximately $235,000 of NES’ indebtedness and the reimbursement to AIGH Investment Partners, LLC (“AIGH”), an affiliate of a principal stockholder (Orin Hirschman), of $665,000 for its advance on the Company’s behalf of a like sum in December 2004 to settle certain third party litigation against NES. This reimbursement was effected by a partial credit against the price of the securities acquired by Mr. Hirschman in the 2005 private placement (See Note 2).

During 2005 and 2004, the Company issued 35,489 and 37,638 shares of common stock to employees in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, resulting in net cash proceeds of $10,000 and $9,000, respectively.

The Company increased the number of its common shares outstanding during 2004 by 30,668 shares, related to restricted shares that had been repurchased for which the shareholder has not yet surrendered the stock certificate to the Company’s transfer agent for cancellation. The Company believes the risk of these shares being traded is negligible as the share certificate carries a restrictive legend on its face and cannot be traded without prior consent of the Company’s counsel. The Company believed that a more conservative accounting treatment should be afforded theses shares, after consultations with its transfer agent, and decided to add back these shares to its issued and outstanding totals.

The Company did not issue any direct shares under the 98 Plan in either 2005 or 2004, and does not anticipate issuing shares in 2006.

Supplemental Stock Option Plan. In May 2000, the board approved an additional stock option plan (the “Supplemental Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Plan, options are restricted to employees who are neither officers nor directors at the grant date. As of December 31, 2005, the Company is authorized to issue up to 400,000 shares in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Plan.

Under the Supplemental Plan the exercise price of options granted is to be not less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant or, in the case when the grant is to a holder of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, at least 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. As of December 31, 2005, options to purchase 386,000 shares of common stock were outstanding and 14,000 remained available for issuance under the Supplemental Plan.

NES Stock Option Plan. In January 2005, the board approved an additional stock option plan (the “NES Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the NES Plan, options are restricted to a named employee who was neither an officer nor director at the grant date. The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares in accordance with the terms of the NES Plan.

Under the NES Plan the exercise price of options granted is to be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

GG Stock Plan. In February 2005, the board approved an additional stock option plan (the “GG Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the GG Plan, options are restricted to a named employee who was neither an officer nor director at the grant date. The Company is authorized to issue up to 250,000 shares in accordance with the terms of the GG Plan.

Under the GG Plan the exercise price of options granted is to be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

2005 Equity Incentive Plan. In December 2005, the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “05 Plan”) was adopted by the board and approved by the stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the 05 Plan, options or performance-vested stock may be granted to officers and other employees, non-employee board members and independent consultants and advisors who render services to the Company. The Company is authorized to issue up to 3,500,000 options or performance vested stock in accordance with the terms of the 05 Plan.

Under the 05 Plan the exercise price of non-qualified stock options granted is to be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted is to be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted provided, however, that if the recipient of the incentive stock option owns greater than 10% of the voting power of all shares of the Company’s capital stock then the exercise price will be no less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. The purchase price of the performance-vested stock issued under the 05 Plan shall also not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the performance-vested stock is granted. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had not granted any options or performance-vested stock, consequently 3,500,000 shares remained available for issuance.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In February 2000, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) was adopted by the board and approved by the stockholders in June 2000. The ESPP provides for the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock by eligible

 

15

 



 

employees, including officers, at semi-annual intervals through payroll deductions. No participant may purchase more than $25,000 worth of common stock under the ESPP in one calendar year or more than 2,000 shares on any purchase date. Purchase rights may not be granted to an employee who immediately after the grant would own or hold options or other rights to purchase stock and cumulatively possess 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of common stock of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the ESPP, shares of common stock are offered through a series of successive offering periods, each with a maximum duration of six months beginning on the first business day of February and August each year. The purchase price of the common stock purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of such shares on the start date of an offering period or the fair market value of such shares on the last day of such offering period. As of December 31, 2005, the ESPP is authorized to offer for sale to participating employees 300,000 shares of common stock, of which, 203,545 shares have been purchased and 96,455 are available for future purchase.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss in each year since inception. Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The net change in valuation allowance was $(1,246,000) and $1,358,200 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $42 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $14 million of California state net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, which will begin to expire in 2013 for federal tax purposes and 2006 for state tax purposes, respectively.

In 1998, the Company experienced a “change of ownership” as that term is defined by the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. As such, utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards through 1998 will be limited to $400,000 per year until such carryforwards are fully utilized or expire.

9. Concentration of Credit Risk.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and notes receivable. The Company places cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $3,426,800 of cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions, in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 82.8% of the Company’s total sales were made to 26 customers. The three largest of these customers accounted for approximately 16.8%, 16.0% and 11.5%, respectively, of total sales. These three customers’ December 31, 2005 year-end accounts receivable balances represented approximately 0.0%, 11.6%, and 6.0% of reported net accounts receivable.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 75.9% of the Company’s total sales were made to 20 customers. The three largest of these customers accounted for approximately 20.9%, 14.9% and 14.1%, respectively, of total sales. These three customers’ December 31, 2004 year-end accounts receivable balances represented approximately 30.9%, 2.9% and 0.0% of reported net accounts receivable.

The Company performs credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition whenever necessary, and generally does not require cash collateral or other security to support customer receivables.

Approximately 3,330,207 shares of the Company’s common stock collateralized the note receivable – shareholder (see Note 5), as of December 31, 2005, which bears interest at 3.62% per annum and matures in 2009. The Company reviews the collectibility of the note on a regular basis.

10. Commitments and Contingencies.

Operating Leases. The Company currently occupies approximately 1,862 square feet of office space in Santa Cruz, California. The office space is rented pursuant to a three-year operating lease, which became effective August 1, 2005. Rent on the Santa Cruz facility will average approximately $3,600 per month over the term of the lease, which is inclusive of a pro rata share of utilities, facilities maintenance and other costs. The Company has the option to renew the lease for one three-year term upon its expiration and can exercise this option by giving written notice to the landlord not later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the initial lease term.

During October 2005, the Company renewed its lease for approximately 3,300 square feet of office space in Concord, New Hampshire, for a one-year term, which is cancelable upon 30-days written notice by either the landlord or the Company. Rent on the Concord facility is approximately $5,300 per month.

The Company has been occupying leased facilities in Rolling Hills Estates, California on a month-to-month basis since October 2002. During December 2005, the Company signed a one-year lease for this property for the period February 1, 2006 through January 31, 2007. During January 2006, this lease was amended to extend the lease through March 1, 2007. Under the terms of the new lease, monthly rental payments are approximately $1,400.

The Company has also been renting an office in Berkshire, England, United Kingdom since December 2002. The current lease runs through December 2006. Rent on this office, which can fluctuate depending on exchange rates, is approximately $400 per month.

Future minimum lease payments under all leases in effect as of December 31, 2005, assuming all currently occupied facilities will remain occupied by the Company until each current lease’s expiration:

$ 114,500

2009 and thereafter

Rent expense aggregated approximately $123,100 and $95,700 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Commitments. As a condition of the 2004 private placement, the Company entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Orin Hirschman, a significant stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, in the event that the Company completes a transaction with a third party introduced to the Company by Mr. Hirschman, the Company shall pay to Mr. Hirschman 5% of the value of that transaction. The agreement, as amended, expires on January 29, 2008.

Contingencies. Under its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and certain agreements with officers and directors, the Company has agreed 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. Generally, the term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited as the Company does not currently have a directors and officers liability insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2005.

The Company enters into indemnification provisions under (i) its agreements with other companies in its ordinary course of business, including contractors and customers and (ii) its agreements with investors. Under these provisions, the Company generally indemnifies and holds 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, and often survive termination of the underlying agreement. 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 December 31, 2005.

The Company’s software license agreements also generally include a performance guarantee that the Company’s software products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of 90 days after delivery. The Company also generally warrants that services that the Company performs will be provided in a manner consistent with reasonably applicable industry standards. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs associated with these warranties.

11. Employee 401(k) Plan.

In December 1998, the Company adopted a 401(k) Plan (the Plan) to provide retirement benefits for employees. As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides tax-deferred salary deductions for eligible employees. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum annual amount as set periodically by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the Company may make discretionary/matching contributions. During 2005 and 2004, the Company contributed a total of approximately $21,500 and $23,000 to the Plan, respectively.

During 2004, the Company capitalized approximately $179,500 and $31,000 of deferred acquisition costs, related to the NES acquisition, that were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, as of December 31, 2004. Additionally, during 2004, the Company accrued approximately $32,500 of deferred financing costs, related to the 2005 private placement, as other assets, as of December 31, 2004.

As of December 31, 2005, financing costs related to the 2005 private placement of approximately $34,200 and $23,800 had been recorded in accrued expenses and accounts payable, respectively.

In conjunction with its acquisition of NES (See Note 1), the Company issued 9,599,993 shares of its common stock, with a value of $3,916,800. Additionally, the Company issued 24,630 shares of its Series A preferred stock to AIGH as a credit against its purchase of 30,368 shares of Series A preferred stock in the 2005 private placement (See Note 1). Further, pursuant to an agreement, dated December 16, 2003, with Griffin, placement agent for the 2004 private placement, the Company issued Griffin five-year warrants to purchase 14,815 shares of Series A preferred stock at an exercise price of $27.00 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 7,407 shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $40.00 per share as a finder’s fee in respect of the 2005 private placement.

Upon the Company’s stockholders approving the amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation (See Note 2), the warrants issued to Griffin were converted into warrants to purchase common stock. The warrants to purchase 14,815 shares of Series A preferred stock were converted into warrants to purchase 1,481,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.27 per share and the warrants to purchase 7,407 shares or Series B preferred stock were converted into warrants to purchase 740,700 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The value of the warrants issued to Griffin was determined using the Black-Scholes method, with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0, expected volatility of 60%, risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and expected life of 5 years.

13. Litigation

On November 23, 2005, the Company initiated a proceeding against AutoTrader.com in United States District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that Autotrader.com was infringing two of the Company’s patents, namely Nos. 6,324,538 and 6,850,940 (the “538” and “940” patents, respectively), which protect the Company’s unique method of maintaining an automated and network accessible database, on its AutoTrader.com website. The Company seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief along with unspecified damages and fees. Autotrader.com filed its Answer and Counterclaim on January 17, 2006 seeking a declaratory judgment that it does not infringe the 538 and 940 patents and that both patents are invalid. On March 24, 2006, Autotrader.com filed a motion for summary judgment seeking to invalidate the 538 and 940 patents.

14. Loss Per Share

Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share, as their effect is antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, 19,022,157 and 6,641,957 shares, respectively, of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share since their effect would be antidilutive.
