SYNTAX-BRILLIAN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Organization:
We are a leading designer, developer, and distributor of high-definition televisions,
or HDTVs, in liquid crystal display, or LCD, and liquid crystal on silicon, or LCoS,
formats. Our LCD HDTVs and our popular-priced LCoS HDTVs are sold under our Olevia brand
name, and our premium large-screen, rear-projection HDTVs, utilizing our proprietary LCoS
microdisplay technology, are sold under our brand names and the brand names of high-end
audio/video manufacturers, distributors of high-end consumer electronics products, and
consumer electronics retailers. Our price-conscious Olevia product lines include flat panel
LCD models in diagonal sizes from 23 inches to 42 inches and our 65-inch Gen II LCoS rear
projection HDTV designed for the high-volume home entertainment market; our
price-performance, full feature Olevia product line includes 42-inch and 47-inch high-end
HDTVs for the home entertainment and home theater markets; and our Gen II LCoS rear
projection 65-inch screen size HDTVs address the premium audio/video market. We have
established a virtual manufacturing model utilizing Asian sourced components and third-party
contract manufacturers and assemblers located in close proximity to our customers to
assemble our HDTVs. We also offer a broad line of LCoS microdisplay products and
subsystems, including LCoS imagers that original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, can
integrate into proprietary HDTV products, home theater projectors, and near-to-eye
applications, such as head-mounted monocular or binocular headsets and viewers, for
industrial, medical, military, commercial, and consumer applications.
On November 30, 2005, we completed our merger with Syntax Groups Corporation, a
privately held California corporation (Syntax), whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of our
company was merged with and into Syntax and Syntax became a wholly owned subsidiary of our
company (the Merger). As consideration for the Merger, Syntax shareholders received
1.5379 shares of our common stock for each share of Syntax common stock held by them on
November 30, 2005 (the Exchange Rate). In the aggregate, shareholders of Syntax received
approximately 34.3 million shares of our common stock. The Exchange Rate was calculated so
that former shareholders of Syntax owned approximately 70% of the fully diluted shares of
the combined company at the closing of the Merger. Therefore, the Merger has been accounted
for as a reverse merger wherein Syntax is deemed to be the acquiring entity from an
accounting perspective. As such, the historical financial statements of Syntax became the
historical financial statements of the combined company upon completion of the Merger.
Note A Summary of Significant Accounting Policies :
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed and consolidated
financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2006 include the financial
statements of Syntax-Brillian Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements
presented for the three months ended September 30, 2005 consist of the financial statements
of the Home and Personal Entertainment Business of Syntax Groups Corporation. Pursuant to
guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to circumstances
when financial statements of entities other than a registrant are required to be included in
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accompanying financial statements
include the business component spun-off, i.e., only those assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses directly attributable to the companys operations. The financial information for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005 herein is not necessarily indicative of what the
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would have been had we operated as
a stand-alone entity during that period.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for a complete presentation
of financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, which include only
4
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results
of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
June 30, 2007. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
our Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 20, 2006.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us 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. On an on-going basis, we
evaluate estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, accounts receivable,
inventories, property and equipment, intangibles and goodwill, income taxes, accrued
rebates, and contingencies. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents,
restricted cash, accounts receivable, due from factor, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities, bank loan payable, notes payable, current portion of long term debt, and long
term debt approximate fair value.
Reclassification. Certain amounts have been reclassified in fiscal 2006 to conform to
the presentation in fiscal 2007.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be
cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable / Due from Factor. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts
not assigned to a factor and accounts assigned to factor with recourse for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. We determine the
adequacy of this allowance by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and
considering a customers financial condition, credit history, and current economic
conditions. If the financial condition of a customer were to deteriorate, additional
allowances could be required. The balances in the allowance accounts were
$704,000 and $160,000 at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Inventories. We purchase the majority of our LCD business products as finished goods
ready to ship to customers. All other products are purchased in major components that
require minimum assembly prior to shipment to customers. Inventories at September 30, 2006
and 2005 for the LCD business are stated at the lower of cost (moving average method) or net
realizable value. Factory rebates and other allowances applicable to product purchases are
treated as a reduction in product cost. The majority of our purchases for the LCOS business
are major components which are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net
realized value.
Vendor Allowances. We currently receive two types of vendor allowances: volume rebates
that are earned as a result of attaining certain purchase levels, and price protection which
is earned based upon the impact of market prices on a monthly basis. We also obtain
incentives for technical know how and market development that are earned as result of
monthly purchase levels. All vendor allowances are accrued as earned, and those allowances
received as a result of attaining certain purchase levels are accrued over the incentive
period based on estimates of purchases. We record the consideration received from a vendor
in accordance with EITF 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor, which states that consideration received from a
vendor is presumed to be a reduction of the prices of the vendors products or services and
are recorded as a reduction of the Cost of Sales when recognized in our Statement of
Operations.
Fixed Assets. We record our machinery, equipment, and office furniture at cost and
depreciate them using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. We amortize leasehold improvements using the straight-line method over the original
term of the lease or the useful life of the
5
improvement, which ever is shorter. We depreciate our property and equipment using the
following estimated useful lives:
|
|
|
|
|
Useful Life |
Machinery and equipment
|
|
3 5 years |
Office furniture and fixtures
|
|
5 years |
Building improvements
|
|
4 years |
We capitalize major additions and betterments and charge replacements, maintenance, and
repairs that do not extend the useful lives of the assets to operations as incurred.
Capitalized Software Costs. We capitalize certain costs related to the acquisition of
software and amortize these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of the software, which is three years.
Goodwill and Intangibles. We record goodwill as the difference, if any, between the
aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and
intangible assets acquired. Our intangible assets include trade marks, trade names, and
patented technologies which were recorded at fair value on the merger date. Intangible
assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the
assets.
Investments. We account for our investments in which we have less than a 20% interest
at cost, and annually review such investments for impairment. We account for our
investments in which we have a greater than 20% but less than 50% ownership interest and for
which we do not have the ability to exercise control under the equity method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be
recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than
the carrying amount.
Deferred Income Taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and
liabilities along with net operating loss and credit carryforwards; if it is more likely
than not that the tax benefits will be realized. To the extent a deferred tax asset cannot
be recognized, a valuation allowance is established if necessary.
Warranties. We typically warrant our products against defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one year from purchase with on site service provided for certain
of our products. As of June 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Kolin for
reimbursement of the cost of our warranty expenses for units sold. We record these
reimbursements from Kolin first as a reduction to the third party warranty costs, with the
excess reimbursement amortized over a 12-month period and applied as a credit to cost of
sales for units which have shipped to customers. We record reimbursements received from
Kolin for units which have not been shipped to customers as deferred warranty revenue (See
Note C, Related Party Transactions).
Stock-Based Compensation. On July 1, 2005, we adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R).
SFAS 123R requires us to recognize expense related to the estimated fair value of
stock-based compensation awards. We elected to use the modified prospective transition
method as permitted by SFAS 123R and therefore have not restated our financial results for
prior periods. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted
subsequent to July 1, 2005 was based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices
equal to the fair market value of our stock at the dates of grant. We recognize the
stock-based compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is
generally the option vesting term of twelve to fifty months. All stock options have a term
of 10 years. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005 was $481,000 and $2.2 million, respectively.
6
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue from product sales, net of estimated
returns, when persuasive evidence of a sale exists: that is, a product is shipped under an
agreement with a customer; risk of loss and title has passed to the customer; the fee is
fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We
estimate the liability for sales returns based upon historical experience of return levels.
We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer and distributor programs and
incentive offerings, including price markdowns, promotions, other volume-based incentives,
and expected returns. Future market conditions and product transitions may require us to
take actions to increase customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in an incremental
reduction of revenue at the time the incentive is offered. Additionally, certain incentive
programs require us to estimate based on industry experience the number of customers that
will actually redeem the incentive. We also record estimated reductions to revenue for end
user rebate programs, returns, and costs related to warranty services in excess of
reimbursements from our principal manufacturer based on historical experience. It is at
least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the next year.
Shipping and Handling Costs. We include shipping and handling related to our purchases
of LCD TV products from our principal manufacturer in the purchase price; therefore, there
were no such costs recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. We
include shipping and handling costs associated with freight out to customers in cost of
sales. Shipping and handling charges to customers are included in sales.
Advertising Costs. We record advertising costs, which include cooperative advertising,
media advertising and production costs, as selling, distribution, and marketing expenses in
the period in which the advertising first takes place. During the three months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, we incurred $2.1 million and $717,000 of advertising costs,
respectively.
Segment Reporting. SFAS No. 131 (SFAS 131), Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information requires use of the management approach model for
segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a companys management
organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing
performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal
structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a
company. We have two business segments for reporting purposes, LCD and LCOS.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assetsan
amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, that provides guidance on accounting for separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. In accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 156, separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be
initially measured at fair value, if applicable. Subsequent to initial recognition, the
company may use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method to
account for servicing assets and servicing liabilities within the scope of this Statement.
SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. We will adopt SFAS No. 156 in our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2007.
The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, to permit fair value
remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that
otherwise would require bifurcation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 155 is effective
for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event
occurring after the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after September 15,
2006. We will adopt SFAS No. 155 in our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2007. The adoption of
this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46(R)-6, Determining
the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), that became
effective in July 2006. FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6 clarifies that the variability to be considered
in applying Interpretation 46(R)
7
shall be based on an analysis of the design of the variable interest entity. The
adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statement.
Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Correctionsa replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154
changed the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a voluntary change in
accounting principle. The adoption of this Statement did not affect our consolidated
financial statements in the period of adoption. Its effects on future periods will depend on
the nature and significance of any future accounting changes subject to this statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires employers to (a) recognize in
its statement of financial position the funded status of a benefit plan measured as the
difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, (b) recognize
net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the
period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to SFAS
No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions or SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, (c) measure defined benefit plan assets and
obligations as of the date of the employers statement of financial position and (d)
disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements about certain
effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed
recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or
obligations. The requirements of SFAS 158 are to be applied prospectively upon adoption. For
companies without publicly traded equity securities, the requirements to recognize the
funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and provide related disclosures are
effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2007, while the requirement to measure plan
assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers statement of financial
position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, with earlier
application encouraged. The Company believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not
require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently in the
process of assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial
statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB108). SAB 108 requires that public companies utilize a dual-approach to assessing
the quantitative effects of financial misstatements. This dual approach includes both an
income statement focused assessment and a balance sheet focused assessment. The guidance in
SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after
November 15, 2006. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Note B Related Party Transactions:
Our primary supplier of LCD television products and
components is Taiwan Kolin Co., Ltd. (Kolin). Kolin and its
subsidiary own approximately 12.0% of our common stock. We are
currently and have historically been significantly dependent upon
Kolin as a supplier of products. On March 9, 2004, in conjunction
with our plans to expand our product lines to include home
entertainment products, including LCD televisions, we entered into
a Manufacturing Agreement with Kolin. This Manufacturing Agreement
had an initial term of one year and could be extended for up to
five additional one-year periods at our option. We have elected to
extend this Manufacturing Agreement for one additional year to
March 2007. Although we believe we could obtain product from
other sources, the loss of Kolin as a supplier could have a
material impact on our financial condition and results of
operations as the products that we currently purchase from Kolin
may not be available on the same terms from another supplier.
We receive rebates from Kolin equal to 3% of purchases for
providing technical know how to Kolin, 2.5% for market development
funds, and volume incentive rebates up to 2.75% of purchases.
These rebates are issued by Kolin monthly based upon units shipped
to us from Kolin. We record these rebates as a reduction to the
price of the products purchased. These rebates are recorded upon
receipt of the product and we allocate these rebates to inventory
and cost of sales based upon the proportion of units purchased from
Kolin that we have sold to our customers and units still in our
inventory.
We agreed upon additional rebates for price protection of
$4.3 million and $13.4 million, representing 4.0% and 21.6% of
actual purchases, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively. Price protection rebates were credited to cost
of sales as these rebates related to products purchased from Kolin
that we had sold to our customers during the respective periods.
In April 2005, we entered into an agreement with Kolin whereby
Kolin agreed that in no event shall the amount of price protection
to be issued to us for any calendar month be less than 18% of the
amount invoiced by us to our customers for such month. On July 1,
2006 the agreement was amended to remove the guaranteed 18% price
protection and to base price protection upon market conditions. We
record price protection received as a reduction in the value of
inventory purchased from Kolin and a corresponding reduction in the
accounts payable balance to Kolin. As of September 30, 2006, the
amount of reduction in the value of inventory purchased from Kolin
and the corresponding reduction in accounts payable to Kolin was
$877,000.
Kolin has agreed to reimburse us in varying amounts ranging
from $10 to $100 per unit to cover the cost of warranty expenses as
well as our costs in administering the warranty program and for
servicing units that cannot be serviced by third-party warranty
providers. Kolin provides these per unit reimbursements at the
time they ship products to us. We record these reimbursements from
Kolin for units that we have sold to our customers, first, as a
reduction to the third-party warranty costs, with the excess
reimbursement recorded as deferred warranty revenue, a current
liability, and amortized as a reduction in cost of sales over the
succeeding twelve-month period. We record warranty reimbursements
we receive for units that we have not sold to our customers as
deferred warranty revenue. As of September 30, 2006, deferred
warranty revenue was $9.0 million. Recognized warranty
reimbursements that were recorded as a reduction in cost of sales
totaled $2.2 million and $766,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The following table shows the amount of our transactions
with Kolin for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006

Beginning in May 2005 through September 2005, we purchased tuners and AV module
components used in the assembly of LCD TV products from the Riking Group, a Hong Kong-based
exporter and a related party. We made no purchases from the Riking Group in the three months
ended September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, we had a note payable of $200,000 to the
Riking Group.
Riking USA, a U.S. based investment holding company, is owned by an officer of our
company. At September 30, 2006, we had a note payable to Riking USA of $200,000.
Note C Accounts Receivable and Due from Factor:
We have entered into an agreement with CIT Commercial Services (CIT) pursuant to which we have assigned
collection of all of our existing and future accounts receivable to CIT, subject to CITs approval of the account. The
credit risk for all accounts approved by CIT is assumed by CIT. We have agreed to pay fees to CIT of 0.06% of gross
invoice amounts approved by CIT plus 0.005% for each thirty day period such invoices are outstanding, subject to a
minimum fee per calendar quarter of $45,000. We have entered into a line of credit agreement with a bank which requires
us to apply 60% of collections from CIT to reduce the balance of outstanding borrowings under the line. Under the
agreement with CIT, accounts assigned for
9
which CIT has assumed credit risk are referred to as non-recourse and
accounts assigned for which CIT has not assumed credit risk are referred to as recourse.
We do not assign certain of our accounts to CIT, primarily because the accounts are outside of the United
States, or because CIT has not approved the customer, or the terms of sale to such customer or invoice terms are not
within the parameters acceptable to CIT.

We write down inventories for estimated obsolescence and to the lower of cost or
market. These write-downs are based on assumptions about future demand and market
conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, then
additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory
write-downs totaled $1.4
million and $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively.
Note E Deposit with Kolin (in thousands):
At September 30, 2006, we had a deposit with Kolin for molds used in the manufacture of
our LCD televisions. To offset this deposit we recorded a payable in the same amount. Upon
achievement of stipulated unit volumes for each mold, the deposit will be refunded. We
anticipate that we will meet production minimums for all such molds in the current fiscal
year. The total amount of deposit made during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was
$22.2 million. As of September 3, 2006 we had met the stipulated unit volumes with respect
to $7.0 million of the deposit. At September 30, 2005, the deposit was for future purchases
of LCD televisions which were subsequently applied to invoices.

Note G Investments:
On June 30, 2004, we acquired 473,337 shares of DigiMedia Technology Co., Ltd.,
representing a 3.6% interest, in exchange for 141,439 shares of our common stock valued at
$424,000. DigiMedia provides R&D and assembly services to Kolin, our principal supplier of LCD
televisions. We collaborate with DigiMedia on product development efforts. In September 2006,
we sold all of our shares in DigiMedia to Kolin for $600,000 and recorded a $176,000 gain.
In March 2006, we acquired a 16% interest in Nanjing Huahai Display Technology Co., Ltd. by
contributing $270,000 and agreeing to contribute an additional $210,000 in August 2006 and an
additional $320,000 at a date yet to be determined. Nanjing Huahai Display Technology will
manufacture liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions in China.
In April 2006, we acquired a 49% interest in Sino-Brillian Display Technology Corporation
by contributing equipment with a book value of $613,000. We contributed additional equipment
valued at $34,000 during the period ended September 30, 2006, and operations commenced which
resulted in a $220,000 loss, of which we recorded 49%, or $108,000. Our portion of the loss of
Sino-Brillian has been recorded in interest income and other income (expense) in the
accompanying statement of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
On July 15, 2006, we entered into a joint venture agreement with various parties to form
Olevia Senna do Brazil. We have agreed to contribute approximately $1.3 million as needed in
return for a 19.5% ownership position in this newly formed company. Olevia Senna do Brazil was
formed to assemble and market Olevia branded HDTVs in Brazil and throughout South America. At
September 30, 2006, operations had not yet commenced.
Note H Goodwill and Intangible Assets:
On November 30, 2005, we completed our merger with Syntax Groups Corporation, a privately
held California corporation (Syntax), whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of our company was
merged with and into Syntax and Syntax became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company (the
Merger). As consideration for the Merger, Syntax shareholders received 1.5379 shares of our
common stock for each share of Syntax common stock held by them on November 30, 2005 (the
Exchange Rate). In the aggregate, shareholders of Syntax received approximately 34.3 million
shares of our common stock. The Exchange Rate was calculated so the former shareholders of
Syntax owned approximately 70% of the fully diluted shares of the combined company at the
closing of the Merger. Therefore, the Merger has been accounted for as a reverse merger wherein
Syntax is deemed to be the acquiring entity from an accounting perspective. As such, the
historical financial statements of Syntax became the historical financial statements of the
combined company upon completion of the merger. The
11
statement of operations for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 does not include the results of operations of Brillian.
The purpose of the merger was to combine the established distribution channels, supply
chain management capabilities, and LCD product line of Syntax with the strong intellectual
property portfolio, research and development talent, and LCoS product line of Brillian. Because
Brillian had been a publicly traded company prior to the Merger, and because its value reflected
the future potential of the LCoS product line, it was valued in excess of the fair value of its
assets. Therefore, the purchase price included approximately $7 million of goodwill which has
been recorded in the LCoS segment of the combined company.
The proforma results of operations for three months ended September 30, 2005, as if the
Merger had occurred at the beginning of the period, is as follows:

These intangible assets and goodwill are subject to periodic review to determine if
impairment has occurred and, if so, the amount of such impairment. If we determine that
impairment exists, we will be required to reduce the carrying value of the impaired asset by the
amount of the impairment and to record a corresponding
12
charge to operations in the period of
impairment. There were no impairment charges in the period ended September 30, 2006.

Note I Loans Payable, Bank:
As of September 30, 2006 we were party to a business loan agreement with Preferred
Bank. The total amount of borrowings permitted under this agreement at September 30, 2006
was $28.0 million, of which we had borrowed $19.0 million. The $28 million limit is subject
to a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable approved and assigned to
CIT plus 40% of eligible inventory, up to a maximum of $12 million, with the following
limitations:
|
(a) |
|
$18 million limitation for the issuance of letters of credit,
subject to the borrowing base; |
|
|
(b) |
|
$9 million for trust receipts and acceptances up to 90 days,
subject to the borrowing base; |
|
|
(c) |
|
$10 million for trust receipts and general working capital for up
to 60 days, subject to the borrowing base; |
|
|
(d) |
|
the amounts in (a) plus (b) shall not exceed $18 million; |
|
|
(e) |
|
the amounts in (a) plus (b) plus (c) shall not exceed $28
million; and |
|
|
(f) |
|
the borrowings under the facility bear interest at Preferred
Banks prime rate (8.25% at September 30, 2006) plus 0.50%. |
Accounts receivable eligible to be included in the borrowing base include gross amounts
assigned to CIT in accordance with the CIT Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the credit
facility, funds collected by CIT are to be utilized by Preferred Bank as follows: i) 25% to
retire existing trust receipt loans on a first in, first out basis; ii) 60% to repay
advances under the working capital portion of the loan facility; and iii) 15% to us.
Additional requirements of the credit facility are that we maintain our primary operating
accounts at Preferred Bank and that we maintain positive annual taxable net income and
submit quarterly internal financial statements within 60 days of the end of each quarter,
and audited annual financial statements within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year.
We did not maintain positive taxable income for the year ended June 30, 2006 and have
obtained a waiver from Preferred Bank with respect to this covenant.
The business loan is personally guaranteed jointly and severally by certain of our
officers and directors. In addition, Kolin has provided to Preferred Bank a $10 million
standby letter of credit as additional security for this facility. Upon maturity, the entire
unpaid principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest shall become due and payable in
full. This business loan was to expire on October 5, 2006, but was extended to January 5,
2007; see Note S Subsequent Events.
In addition, at September 30, 2006, we owed Preferred Bank a short-term loan in the
amount of $13.8 million which is due on January 5, 2007. Interest is charged at Preferred
Banks prime rate (8.25% at September 30, 2006) plus .50%, and the loan is secured by a
Kolin deposit account at Preferred Bank.

Note J Per share information:
Basic income (loss) per common share was computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the three months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005 before giving effect to stock options, warrants,
convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock considered to be
dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per
common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period after giving effect to stock options, warrants, convertible
debt, and convertible preferred stock considered to be dilutive
common stock equivalents. For the three months ended September 30,
2005, prior to the completion of the Merger, the weighted average
number of shares outstanding is based on the number of shares of
Syntax Groups Corporation common stock outstanding, retroactively
adjusted for the Merger exchange ratio. For the three months ended
September 30, 2005, the effect of approximately 1.5 million stock
options was excluded from the calculation of loss per share as
their effect would have been antidilutive. Set forth below are the
calculations to arrive at earnings per share:

Operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments, and therefore
these segments are not designed to measure operating income or loss directly related to the
products included in each segment.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, sales to two customers accounted for
approximately 54%, and 11%, respectively, of our revenue. No other customers accounted for
more than 10% of our revenue during the period. At September 30, 2006, we had one customer
that accounted for $53.4 million, or 82%, of
our outstanding and unassigned accounts receivable. Accounts receivable that are assigned
to CIT are not included as the credit risk for such accounts has been assumed by CIT.
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, sales to two customers accounted for
approximately 11% and 11%, of our revenue. No other customers accounted for more than
10% of our revenue during the period.
Net sales by geographic area are determined based upon the location of the end

Note L Commitments and Contingencies:
We are currently party to various claims. The ultimate outcome of these claims,
individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position or overall trends in results of operations. If an
unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact
on our net income, financial condition, and cash flows in the period in which the ruling
occurs or first becomes probable and estimable. The estimate of the potential impact from
the various legal proceedings on our consolidated financial position or overall results of
operations and cash flows could change in the future.

On June 6, 2005, Kolin, our principal source of LCD television products and components,
received a notice from Sony Corporation asserting two alleged patent infringements. We are
assisting Kolin in evaluating the assertions made as well as the potential impact, if any,
on our business. Based upon information received to date, we do not believe that these
assertions will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of
operations and cash flows.
We received a notification from the U.S. Customs Service claiming approximately $3.6
million in additional import duties due for our products imported from Kolin. We intend to
vigorously defend our position regarding the import classifications used for the products in
question. Further, because our purchase terms from Kolin include all costs of delivery
including duties, Kolin has affirmed in writing its agreement to reimburse us for any
additional duty that may be deemed due and payable by the U.S. Customs Service.
Accordingly, we do not believe that this claim will have a material impact on our financial
condition or results of operations and cash flows.
We made a guarantee in connection with a Small Business Administration loan to
VoiceViewer Technology, Inc., a private company developing microdisplay products.
VoiceViewer is unable to meet its current obligations under the loan agreement. We and the
other guarantors are making payments as they become due. We have determined that it is
probable that VoiceViewer will be unable to meet its future obligations under the loan
agreement. Therefore, at September 30, 2006, we had accrued $247,000, which represents our
maximum remaining obligation under the guarantee. We have a security interest in, and
second rights to, the intellectual property of VoiceViewer, while the lending institution
has the first rights. However, we do not believe we can realize any significant value from
VoiceViewers intellectual property.
We lease an office and warehouse facility in California under an operating lease
requiring aggregate minimum monthly payments of approximately $45,000. The lease agreement
requires us to pay for maintenance. The lease expires in August 2008.
We lease an office and manufacturing facility in Arizona under an operating lease
requiring aggregate minimum monthly payments of approximately $70,000. The lease agreement
requires us to pay for taxes and maintenance. The lease expires in December of 2009. We
also lease office space and warehouse facilities in Colorado and Arizona on a month-to-month
basis.
As of September 30, 2006, the future minimum lease payments required under
non-cancelable operating leases with remaining terms in excess of one year was as follows

Note M Stock-Based Compensation:
Our 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2003 Plan) was adopted and approved
on August 26, 2003. Under the 2003 Plan, an aggregate of 1,650,000 shares of common
stock were originally available for issuance pursuant to options granted to acquire
common stock, the direct granting of restricted common stock and deferred stock, the
granting of stock appreciation rights, and the granting of dividend equivalents. On
the first day of each fiscal year, an additional number of shares equal to 4% of the
total number of shares then outstanding is added to the number of shares that may be
subject to the granting of awards. As of September 30, 2006, there were outstanding
options to acquire 2,644,484 shares of our common stock under the 2003 Plan. In
addition, an aggregate of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock had been granted
under the 2003 Plan as of September 30, 2006.
16
In connection with the Merger, options that were originally granted under
Syntaxs 2005 Stock Incentive, Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock Plan (the 2005
Plan), were substituted for options to purchase our common stock. We do not intend
to grant any additional awards under the 2005 Plan. Under the 2005 Plan, an
aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Syntax common stock were originally available for
issuance pursuant to options granted to acquire common stock and the direct granting
of restricted common stock and deferred stock. At the time of the Merger, there
were options to purchase 982,900 shares of Syntax common stock under the 2005 Plan
that were substituted for options to purchase 1,511,604 shares of our common stock.
As of September 30, 2006, there were outstanding options under the 2005 Plan to
purchase 1,401,692 shares of our common stock.
On July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires us to recognize expense related to the estimated
fair value of stock-based compensation awards. We elected to use the modified
prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R and therefore have not
restated our financial results for prior periods. Stock-based compensation expense
for all stock-based awards granted subsequent to July 1, 2005 was based on the grant
date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Stock
options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value
of our stock at the dates of grant. We recognize the stock-based compensation
expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option
vesting term of twelve to fifty months. All stock options have a term of 10 years.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005 was $426,000 and $2.2 million, respectively.
The weighted average fair values per share of stock options granted have been
estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
On August 26, 2003, we adopted a 401(k) profit sharing plan for which our
employees generally are eligible. The plan is intended to qualify under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, so that contributions to the plan by employee
or by us and the investment earnings on the contributions are not taxable to the
employees until withdrawn. Our contributions, if any, are deductible by us when
made. Our employees may elect to reduce their current compensation by an amount
equal to the maximum of 25% of total annual compensation or the annual limit
permitted by law and to have those funds contributed to the plan. Although we may
make matching contributions to the plan on behalf of all participants, we have not
made any contributions since the plans adoption.

Amortization of offering costs, debt discount, and beneficial conversion
feature of approximately $642,000 is included in interest expense for three months
ended September 30,
18
2006. Interest on the 7% and 4% Convertible Debentures is
payable, at our option, in either stock or cash. Due to the beneficial conversion
feature and the value allocated to warrants issued with the convertible debt, the
effective interest rate on the convertible debt is approximately 38%. Due to the
value allocated to warrants issued with the secured debt, the effective interest
rate on the secured debt is approximately 20%.
Note P Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock:
On December 29, 2005, we issued and sold 3 million shares of 6% redeemable
convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of common
stock for gross proceeds of $15 million. On January 3, 2006, we issued and sold an
additional 200,000 shares of 6% redeemable convertible preferred stock and warrants
to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $1.0 million.
The holders of our 6% redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to
cumulative dividends that accrue monthly, beginning on March 29, 2006, at a rate of
$0.30 per share. The dividends are payable in cash or, if certain conditions are
met, we may elect to pay the dividends in shares of our common stock. No dividends
may be paid on our common stock until all dividends owed to the holders of our 6%
redeemable convertible preferred stock have been paid in full.
The 6% redeemable convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of our
common stock at any time, at the option of the holders, at an initial conversion
price of $5.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain dilutive events, including if we issue any shares of capital
stock at a per share price of less than $5.00 while any shares of 6% redeemable
convertible preferred stock are outstanding.
Warrants issued in connection with the redeemable convertible preferred stock
have an exercise price of $5.00 per share, exercisable 181 days from closing. We
estimated the per share value of the warrant to be $3.37 using the Black-Scholes
model with the following assumptions: life of 5 years; risk free interest rate of
4%; volatility of 74%; and no dividend yield. The aggregate value of the warrants is
approximately $5,386,000 and was recorded as a discount to the redeemable
convertible preferred stock. A beneficial conversion feature of approximately
$6,186,000 was also recorded as discount to the redeemable convertible preferred
stock. Offering costs were approximately $1,250,000. The discount is being
amortized using the effective method over the life of the preferred stock. For the
three months ended September 30, 2006, $1.5 million of amortized discount and
offering costs were charged to interest expense.
The 6% redeemable convertible preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable.
Beginning on January 29, 2007, we are required to redeem outstanding shares of the
6% redeemable convertible preferred stock at a rate of 250,000 shares each month at
a price of $5.00 per share (subject to certain adjustments) plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends until all outstanding shares are redeemed. We may elect to pay the
dividends and redemption payments in shares of our common stock instead of cash,
provided we meet certain conditions.
The 6% redeemable convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference over
the holders of our common stock so that, if we liquidate, dissolve, or wind up our
business, the holders of our 6% redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled
to a liquidation payment of $5.00 per share (subject to certain adjustments) plus
any accrued but unpaid dividends prior to any distribution being made to our common
stockholders. The holders of our 6% redeemable convertible preferred
stock are also entitled to this liquidation payment upon any change of control
of our business.
Note Q Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants:
On March 29, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and a Common
Stock Purchase Warrant agreement with Kolin. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement, we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase
750,000 shares of our common stock
19
for gross proceeds of $15 million. The warrant
issued in connection this private placement has an exercise price of $5.00 per share
(subject to certain adjustments) and is exercisable for a term of five years,
beginning on September 26, 2006. We estimated the per share value of the warrant to
be $2.40 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: life of 5
years; risk free interest rate of 4.79%; volatility of 72%; and no dividend yield.
The aggregate value of the warrant is approximately $1,800,000.

Note S Subsequent Events:
On October 17, 2006, the business loan agreement with Preferred Bank was amended. The
total amount of borrowings permitted under this amended agreement is $33.0 million, subject
to a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable approved and assigned to
CIT plus 40% of eligible inventory, up to a maximum of $12 million, with the following
limitations:
(a) $4 million limitation for the issuance of letters of credit, subject to the borrowing base;
(b) $19 million for trust receipts and acceptances up to 90 days, subject to the borrowing base;
(c) $10 million for trust receipts and general working capital for up to 60 days, subject to the borrowing base;
(d) the amounts in (a) plus (b) shall not exceed $23 million;
(e) the amounts in (a) plus (b) plus (c) shall not exceed $33 million; and
(f) the borrowings under the facility bear interest at Preferred Banks prime rate (8.25% at October 17, 2006) plus 0.50%.
Accounts receivable eligible to be included in the borrowing base include gross amounts
assigned to CIT in accordance with the CIT Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the credit
facility, funds collected by CIT are to be utilized by Preferred Bank as follows: i) 25% to
retire existing trust receipt loans on a first in, first out basis; ii) 60% to repay
advances under the working capital portion of the loan facility; and iii) 15% to us.
Additional requirements of the credit facility are that we maintain our primary operating
accounts at Preferred Bank and that we maintain positive annual taxable net income and
submit quarterly internal financial statements within 60 days of the end of each quarter,
and audited annual financial statements within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year.
The business loan is personally guaranteed jointly and severally by certain of our
officers and directors. In addition, Kolin has provided to Preferred Bank a $10 million
standby letter of credit as additional
security for this facility. This business loan expires on January 5, 2007. Upon
maturity, the entire unpaid principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest shall become
due and payable in full.
20
On October 30, 2006, we entered into an agreement to acquire Vivitar Corporation.
Vivitar is based in Oxnard, California. and designs, develops, and markets photographic,
optical, electronic, and digital imaging products. The acquisition will be for
approximately $26 million in our common stock. The acquisition will give us full ownership
over all Vivitar assets and creates an entree into digital photography and Vivitars
established global retail and distribution channels. Vivitar will be operated as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian. By consolidating shared resources, contract
manufacturing relationships, marketing, and engineering expertise and distribution channels,
the acquisition of Vivitar is expected to produce significant economic and logistical
advantages for our company.
The number of common shares outstanding increased from 49,674,347, on September 30,
2006, to 51,446,695, on November 8, 2006, primarily as the result of conversions of
convertible debentures and redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock and the
exercise of warrants.
Note T Income Taxes:
We account for income taxes under the liability method as required by Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the
liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on temporary differences between
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet
date using enacted tax rates for years in which the related taxes are expected to be paid or
recovered. We recognize income tax expense as we recognize taxable net income on a
financial reporting basis, to the extent net income exceeds our tax loss carry forwards.
The
income tax provision for the three months ended September 30,
2006 consisted of the following:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT RESULTS
The statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q which are not purely historical are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking
statements include statements regarding our expectations, anticipation, intentions,
beliefs, or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements also include
statements regarding revenue, margins, expenses, and earnings analysis for fiscal 2007 and
thereafter; the amounts, prices, timing, or terms under which we sell HDTVs to our customers;
technological innovations; future products or product development; our product development
strategies; potential acquisitions or strategic alliances; the anticipated benefits of pending
acquisitions; the success of particular product or marketing programs; the amounts of revenue
generated as a result of sales to significant customers; and liquidity and anticipated cash needs
and availability. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information
available to us as of the filing date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any
such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from the
forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a leading designer, developer, and distributor of high-definition televisions, or
HDTVs, in liquid crystal display, or LCD, and liquid crystal on silicon, or LCoS, formats. Our LCD
HDTVs and our popular-priced LCoS HDTVs are sold under our Olevia brand name, and our premium large-screen,
rear-projection HDTVs, utilizing our proprietary LCoS microdisplay
technology, are sold under our brand names and the brand names of high-end
audio/video manufacturers, distributors of high-end consumer electronics products, and consumer
electronics retailers. Our price-conscious Olevia product lines include flat panel LCD models in
diagonal sizes from 23 inches to 42 inches and our 65-inch Gen II LCoS rear projection HDTV
designed for the high-volume home entertainment market; our price-performance, full feature Olevia
product line includes 42-inch and 47-inch high-end HDTVs for the home entertainment and home
theater markets; and our Gen II LCoS rear projection 65-inch HDTV addresses the premium audio/video
market. We have established a virtual manufacturing model utilizing Asian sourced components and
third-party contract manufacturers and assemblers located in close proximity to our customers to
assemble our HDTVs. We also offer a broad line of LCoS microdisplay products and subsystems,
including LCoS imagers that original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, can integrate into
proprietary HDTV products, home theater projectors, and near-to-eye applications, such as
head-mounted monocular or binocular headsets and viewers, for industrial, medical, military,
commercial, and consumer applications.
Net Sales. Our sales result primarily from the sale of LCD and LCoS HDTVs. We also sell
microdisplays for near-to-eye and projection devices to OEM customers.
Cost of Sales. Our gross margins for our LCD and LCoS products are influenced by various
factors, including manufacturing efficiencies, yields, and absorption issues, product mix, product
differentiation, product uniqueness, inventory management, and volume pricing. To date, our
manufacturing capacity for LCoS imagers has exceeded our manufacturing volume, resulting in the
inability to fully absorb the cost of our manufacturing infrastructure. LCoS imager margins will
not improve until we run higher volumes.
Selling, Distribution, and Marketing Expense. Selling, distribution, and marketing expense
consists of salaries, commissions, and benefits to sales and marketing personnel, co-op advertising
allowances to our customers, advertising, warehouse costs, and shipping costs.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists principally
of salaries and benefits to administrative personnel, insurance expense, legal fees, audit and
accounting fees, and facilities costs.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists principally of
salaries and benefits to scientists, engineers, and other technical personnel; related facilities
costs; process development costs; and various expenses for projects, including new product
development. Research and development expense
22
continues to be very high as we continue to develop our LCoS technology and manufacturing
processes, and refine our HDTV products.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2006 compared with three months ended September 30, 2005
Net Sales. Net sales increased 218% to $87.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 from
$27.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Net sales consisted of LCD television sales
revenue of $85.7 million and $1.3 million of revenue from LCoS products.
LCD television revenue of $85.7 million represents an increase of 213% from $27.4 million in
the comparable quarter of the previous year. The increase in LCD television revenue was a result
of increased unit shipments. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we shipped approximately
144,000 units compared with approximately 34,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
LCoS revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $1.3 million. There was no LCoS revenue
in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Net sales in North America totaled $38.9 million, or 45% of total net sales, in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 compared with $23.7 million, or 87% of total net sales, in the first quarter
of fiscal 2006. Net sales in Asia totaled $48.1 million, or 55% of total net sales, in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 compared with $3.6 million, or 13% of total net sales, in the first quarter
of fiscal 2006. Net sales in Europe totaled $5,000, or less than 1% of net sales, in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007. There were no sales in Europe in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $71.2 million, or 82% of net sales, in the first quarter of
fiscal 2007 compared with $21.7 million, or 79% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
LCD television cost of sales totaled $67.8 million, or 79% of LCD television net sales, in the
quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared with $21.7 million, or 79% of LCD television net sales,
in the comparable period of the previous year. Cost of LCD television sales for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 includes purchases from Kolin, net of rebates, totaling $53.9
million and $(696,000), respectively.
In the first fiscal quarter of 2007, we recorded cost of sales for LCoS net sales totaling
$3.5 million, or 262% of LCoS net sales. There was no LCoS cost of sales in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006. The large negative gross margin in the first fiscal quarter of 2007 resulted primarily
from the low volume of shipments and low manufacturing yields in the shipped products. To date,
our LCOS manufacturing capacity has exceeded our manufacturing volume, resulting in the inability
to absorb fully the cost of our manufacturing infrastructure. A significant portion of our
manufacturing costs are fixed in nature and consist of items such as utilities, depreciation, and
amortization. The amounts of these costs do not vary period to period based on the number of units
produced nor can the amounts of these costs be adjusted in the short term. Therefore, in periods
of lower production volume, these fixed costs are absorbed by a lower number of units, thus
increasing the cost per unit. As a result, we expect it will be difficult to attain significant
improvements in gross margins until we can operate at higher production volumes.
We write down inventories for estimated obsolescence and to the lower of cost or
market. These write-downs are based on assumptions about future demand and
market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those
projected, then additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory
write-downs totaled $1.4 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
In March 2004, we and Kolin entered into three agreements which provide for
rebates to us on purchases from Kolin. Under these agreements, we receive a rebate equal to 3.0% of
purchases for providing technical know how to Kolin, 2.5% for market development funds, and volume
incentive rebates up to 2.75% of purchases. The foregoing rebates issued by Kolin are issued
monthly based upon units shipped from Kolin to us. In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor, we record these rebates as a reduction to the price of the
products purchased upon receipt of the products and allocate such rebates to inventory and cost of
sales accordingly. Rebates granted by Kolin applicable to goods in transit are recorded as amounts
outstanding to Kolin until such goods are received.
23
For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Kolin agreed to grant us additional
monthly lump sum rebates for price protection of $4.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively,
representing 4.0% and 21.6% of actual purchases from Kolin, respectively, which were credited to
cost of sales in the period received as these price protection grants related to inventory
purchased from Kolin that had been sold to our customers during the respective periods. In April
2005, we entered into an agreement whereby Kolin agreed that in no event shall the amount of the
price protection to be issued by Kolin to us for any calendar month be less than 18% of the amount
invoiced by us to our customers for such calendar month. On July 1, 2006 the agreement was amended
to remove the guaranteed 18% price protection and to base price protection upon market conditions.
We record price protection received as a reduction in the value of inventory purchased from Kolin
and a corresponding reduction in the accounts payable balance to Kolin. As of September 30, 2006,
the amount of reduction in the value of inventory purchased from Kolin and the corresponding
reduction in accounts payable to Kolin was $877,000.
As of June 30, 2004, we had entered into an agreement with Kolin for reimbursement of warranty
expense for units we sold. Through December 2004, we had retained an independent third party to
provide on-site service to consumers who purchased our LCD television products. The cost to us for
this service was $10 per unit shipped. Since January 2005, we have provided on-site service to
consumers for warranty claims through a different third party, which is billed to us on a
case-by-case basis. Kolin has agreed to reimburse us varying amounts ranging from $10 to $100 per
unit to cover the cost of these warranty expenses as well as our costs in administering the program
and servicing units which cannot be serviced by the warranty providers. Kolin provides these per
unit reimbursements at the time they ship products to us. We record these reimbursements from Kolin
first as a reduction to the third-party warranty costs, with the excess reimbursement amortized
over a 12-month period and applied as a credit to cost of sales for units that have been shipped to
customers. We record reimbursements received from Kolin for units that have not been shipped to
customers as deferred warranty revenue. As of September 30, 2006, deferred warranty revenue was
$9.0 million. Recognized warranty reimbursements, which are recorded as a reduction in cost of
sales, totaled $2.2 million and $766,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
Selling, Distribution, and Marketing Expense. Selling, distribution, and marketing expenses
totaled $3.1 million, or 3.6% of net sales, in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared with
$937,000, or 3.4% of net sales, for the comparable period of the previous year. The increase in
selling, distribution, and marketing expenses, for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was
primarily related to additional headcount resulting from the merger, advertising expenses and other
marketing costs necessary to develop our distribution channel. Advertising expense was $2.1
million and $717,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense totaled $4.2 million
in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared with $5.1 million in the quarter ended September
30, 2005. This decrease was primarily caused by a $1.7 million decrease in stock-based
compensation from the prior year which was partially offset by an increase in personnel costs
resulting from the merger.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense totaled $1.4 million in
the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Research and development expense began to be incurred upon
completion of the Merger on November 30, 2005. There was no such expense in the comparable quarter
of the previous year.
Interest Expense. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded net interest expense
of $3.3 million compared with $296,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. During the three
months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred interest expense related to our credit facility with
Preferred Bank totaling approximately $697,000, cash interest expense related to our 9% senior
secured debentures of approximately $94,000, and non-cash interest expense and amortization of
issuance costs related to the convertible debentures, senior secured debentures, and redeemable
convertible preferred stock of approximately $2.5 million. Under generally accepted accounting
principles, we are required to measure the value of the warrants issued with debentures and
redeemable convertible preferred stock issued and the beneficial conversion feature of the
convertible debentures and redeemable convertible preferred stock issued. The resulting values are
recorded as a discount to the debentures and redeemable convertible preferred stock with a
corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. The original discount to the convertible
debentures was equal to their face value of $7.5 million and the original discount to the secured
debentures was $1.4 million. The original discount and beneficial conversion feature to the
redeemable convertible preferred stock was $11.6 million. The discount, along with amortization of
issuance costs, is being accreted to
24
interest expense over the three-year term of the notes and the two-year term of the redeemable
convertible preferred stock.
Net Income (Loss). Net income was $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared
with a net loss of $658,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The positive results in the
current period were due primarily to increased shipments of LCD televisions.
Income Tax. We record income taxes under the liability method as required by Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. We recognize income
tax expense as we recognize taxable net income on a financial reporting basis, to the extent net
income exceeds our tax loss carry forwards. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we
recorded no expense or benefit as compared with income tax benefit of $79,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2006, we had $8.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2006, we
had $7.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was
$3.3 million compared with $7.4 million net cash used by operating activities in the same period of
the prior year. The operating cash inflow during the three months ended September 30, 2006 was
primarily the result of net income and an increase in payables which was partially offset by
increases in net receivables, net inventories, and net deposits. The operating cash outflow in the three months
ended September 30, 2005 was primarily a result of the net loss and increases in accounts
receivable which were partially offset by increases in payables, provisions for inventory reserves,
and stock-based compensation.
Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $5.4
million compared with $1.2 million for the comparable period of the prior year. Net cash used by
investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included investments of
$245,000, purchases of equipment of $192,000, and the purchase of a manufacturing license for $5.6
million. Offsetting these investments were the sales of investments and fixed assets totaling
$625,000. Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2005
included investments of $1.0 million and purchases of equipment of $152,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was
$3.0 million compared with $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Net cash
provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2006 consisted primarily
of proceeds from bank loans of $2.0 million, and the issuance of common stock related to our
employee stock purchase plan and the exercise of options and warrants provided a total of $1.0
million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2005
consisted primarily of proceeds from bank loans of $3.0 million, and net transfers from Syntax
Groups Corporation of $4.2 million.
We have historically funded our operations and operating cash outflows through the use of
vendor accounts payable terms, notes payable, and bank lines of credit with a borrowing base
calculated as a percentage of eligible accounts receivable as explained below and through the
issuance of long-term debt and preferred stock.
We believe that the cash from operations and the increased Preferred Bank credit facility will
be sufficient to sustain operations at the current level for the next 12 months. However, if we
continue to experience rapid revenue growth, additional capacity under accounts receivable lines of
credit or other sources of financing, such as long-term debt or equity financing, will be
necessary. We are currently negotiating with multiple banks for lines of credit with significantly
increased borrowing capacity. Although there can be no assurance that the required financing will
be available on favorable terms, or at all, we believe that we will be able to obtain the required
financing to continue to fund our business, including the anticipated growth, for at least the next
12 months. If sufficient additional financing is not available, we would need to curtail our growth
rate in order to have sufficient cash to continue our operations.
In addition to financing our operations and growth, our suppliers and contract manufacturers,
including
25
Kolin, will need access to working capital in increasing amounts in order to finance the
purchase of components and manufacturing operations to support our anticipated growth. We refer to
this financing need as supply chain financing. We believe that our suppliers and contract
manufacturers, including Kolin, have access to sufficient working capital financing, including
significant bank lines of credit, to support our anticipated growth. However, if sufficient supply
chain financing is not available to our suppliers and contract manufacturers, we would need to
curtail our growth rate in order to have access to sufficient supply of product.
As of September 30, 2006, we were party to a business loan agreement with Preferred Bank.
The total amount of borrowings permitted under this agreement at September 30, 2006 was $28.0
million, subject to a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable approved and
assigned to CIT plus 40% of eligible inventory, up to a maximum of $12 million, with the following
limitations:
|
|
|
$18 million limitation for the issuance of letters of credit, subject to the borrowing base; |
|
|
|
|
$9 million for trust receipts and acceptances up to 90 days, subject to the borrowing base; |
|
|
|
|
$10 million for trust receipts and general working capital for up to 60 days, subject to
the borrowing base; |
|
|
|
|
the amounts in (a) plus (b) shall not exceed $18 million; |
|
|
|
|
the amounts in (a) plus (b) plus (c) shall not exceed $28 million; and |
|
|
|
|
the borrowings under the facility bear interest at Preferred Banks prime rate (8.25% at
September 30, 2006) plus 0.50%. |
Accounts receivable eligible to be included in the borrowing base include gross amounts
assigned to CIT in accordance with the CIT Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the credit
facility, funds collected by CIT are to be utilized by Preferred Bank as follows: i) 25% to retire
existing trust receipt loans on a first in, first out basis; ii) 60% to repay advances under the
working capital portion of the loan facility; and iii) 15% to us. Additional requirements of the
credit facility are that we maintain our primary operating accounts at Preferred Bank and that we
maintain positive annual taxable net income and submit quarterly internal financial statements
within 60 days of the end of each quarter, and audited annual financial statements within 120 days
of the end of the fiscal year.
We did not maintain positive taxable income for the year ended June 30, 2006 and have obtained
a waiver from Preferred Bank with respect to this covenant.
The business loan is personally guaranteed jointly and severally by certain of our officers
and directors. In addition, Kolin has provided to Preferred Bank a $10 million standby letter of
credit as additional security for this facility. Upon maturity, the entire unpaid principal balance
and all unpaid accrued interest shall become due and payable in full. This business loan was to
expire on October 5, 2006, but was extended to January 5, 2007; see Note S Subsequent Events.
In addition, at September 30, 2006, we owed Preferred Bank a short-term loan in the amount of
$13.8 million which is due on January 5, 2007. Interest is charged at Preferred Banks prime rate
(8.25% at September 30, 2006) plus .50%, and the loan is secured by a Kolin deposit account at
Preferred Bank.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
Impact of Recently Issued Standards
Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Correctionsa
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 changed the requirements
for the accounting for and reporting of a voluntary change in accounting principle. The adoption of
this Statement did not affect our consolidated financial statements in the period of adoption. Its
effect on future periods will depend on the nature and significance of any future accounting
changes subject to this statement.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, to permit fair value remeasurement
for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would
require bifurcation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments
acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of an entitys
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We will adopt SFAS No. 155 in fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2007. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on
our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for
Servicing of Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, that provides guidance on
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. In accordance with
the provisions of SFAS No. 156, separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities
must be initially measured at fair value, if applicable. Subsequent to initial recognition, the
company may use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method to account for
servicing assets and servicing liabilities within the scope of this Statement. SFAS No. 156 is
effective as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We
will adopt SFAS No. 156 in fiscal year beginning July 1, 2007. The adoption of this Statement is
not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46(R)-6, Determining the
Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), that became effective
beginning July 2006. FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6 clarifies that the variability to be considered in
applying Interpretation 46(R) shall be based on an analysis of the design of the variable interest
entity. The adoption of this FSP did not affect our consolidated financial statements and is not
expected to have a material effect in the future on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting
for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
27
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption
of FIN 48 may have on its financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires employers to (a) recognize in its statement of financial
position the funded status of a benefit plan measured as the difference between the fair value of
plan assets and the benefit obligation, (b) recognize net of tax, the gains or losses and prior
service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net
periodic benefit cost pursuant to SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions or SFAS No.
106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, (c) measure defined
benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers statement of financial
position and (d) disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements about
certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed
recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or
obligations. The requirements of SFAS 158 are to be applied prospectively upon adoption. For
companies without publicly traded equity securities, the requirements to recognize the funded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and provide related disclosures are effective for
fiscal years ending after June 15, 2007, while the requirement to measure plan assets and benefit
obligations as of the date of the employers statement of financial position is effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. The Company
believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of
fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or
permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will
have on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB108). SAB
108 requires that public companies utilize a dual-approach to assessing the quantitative effects
of financial misstatements. This dual approach includes both an income statement focused assessment
and a balance sheet focused assessment. The guidance in SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial
statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Management believes the adoption of
this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates, credit risks, and our equity investments, as discussed more fully below. In order
to manage the volatility relating to our more significant market risks, we may enter into hedging
arrangements. We do not execute transactions or hold derivative financial instruments for
speculative or trading purposes. We do not anticipate any material changes in our primary market
risk exposures in fiscal 2007.
Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2006, we had an outstanding balance under our line of credit with Preferred
Bank of approximately $19.0 million. As amended on March 31, 2006, this line of credit bears
interest at Preferred Banks prime rate (8.25% at September 30, 2006) plus .05%. On September 30,
2006, our credit limit under this facility was $28 million. If we were to borrow the full $28
million, a 1% increase in the prime rate would result in incremental estimated annual interest
expense of $280,000.
Foreign Currency Risk
We recorded approximately $1.7 million of revenue denominated in Canadian dollars in the three
months ended September 30, 2006. We recorded a $9,000 foreign currency exchange loss in the three
months ended September 30, 2006.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk on accounts receivable through the ordinary course of business
and we perform ongoing credit evaluations. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts
receivable are limited due to the nature of our customer base. We currently believe our allowance
for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover customer credit risk.
Equity Price Risk
We hold investments in capital stock of privately held companies. We recognize impairment
losses on our strategic investments when we determine that there has been a decline in the fair
value of the investment that is other-than-temporary. From inception through September 30, 2006 we
have not recorded any impairment losses on strategic investments. As of September 30, 2006, our
strategic investments had a carrying value of $1.0 million, and we have determined that there was
no impairment in these investments at that date. We cannot assure you that our investments will
have the above-mentioned results, or that we will not lose all or any part of these investments.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures, which included inquiries made to certain other of our employees. Based on their
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective and sufficient to ensure that we record, process,
summarize, and report information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed
under the Securities Exchange Act within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms. During the quarterly period covered by this report, there have not
been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Our Insider Trading Policy permits our directors, officers, and other key personnel to
establish purchase and sale programs in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The rule permits employees to adopt written plans at a time before becoming
aware of material nonpublic information and to sell shares according to a plan on a regular basis
(for example, weekly or monthly), regardless of any subsequent nonpublic information they receive.
In our view, Rule 10b5-1 plans are beneficial because systematic, pre-planned sales that take place
over an extended period should have a less disruptive influence on the price of our stock. We also
believe plans of this type are beneficial because they inform the marketplace about the nature of
the trading activities of our directors and officers. In the absence of such information, the
market could mistakenly attribute transactions as reflecting a lack of confidence in our company or
an indication of an impending event involving our company. We recognize that our directors and
officers may have reasons totally apart from the company in determining to effect transactions in
our common stock. These reasons could include the purchase of a home, tax and estate planning, the
payment of college tuition, the establishment of a trust, the balancing of assets, or other
personal reasons. The establishment of any trading plan involving our company requires the
pre-clearance by our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer. An individual adopting a
trading plan must comply with all requirements of Rule 10b5-1, including the requirement that the
individual not possess any material nonpublic information regarding our company at the time of the
establishment of the plan.
