Lattice Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:

a) Organization

Lattice Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware May 1973 and commenced operations in July 1977. The Company began as a provider of specialized solutions to the telecom industry. Throughout its history Lattice has adapted to the changes in this industry by reinventing itself to be more responsive and open to the dynamic pace of change experienced in the broader converged communications industry of today. Currently Lattice provides advanced solutions for several vertical markets. The greatest change in operations is in the shift from being a component manufacturer to a solution provider focused on developing applications through software on its core platform technology. To further its strategy of becoming a solutions provider, the Company acquired a majority interest in “SMEI” in February 2005. In September 2006 the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Ricciardi Technologies Inc. (“RTI”). RTI was founded in 1992 and provides software consulting and development services for the command and control of biological sensors and other Department of Defense requirements to United States federal governmental agencies either directly or through prime contractors of such governmental agencies. RTI’s proprietary products include SensorView, which provides clients with the capability to command, control and monitor multiple distributed chemical, biological, nuclear, explosive and hazardous material sensors. With the SMEI and the RTI acquisitions, approximately 76% of the Company’s revenues are derived from solution services.  In December 2009 we changed RTI’s name to Lattice Government Services Inc.  In January 2007, we changed our name from Science Dynamics Corporation to Lattice Incorporated.

b) Basis of Presentation going concern

At June 30, 2010 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,141,315 including non-cash derivative liabilities of approximately $183,000.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had a loss from operations of  $15,828 of which $318,155 was from non-cash items. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the reported loss from operations was $305,066.  For the six months, non-cash expenses included in the reported loss of $305,066 totaled $636,311 consisted of   $373,761 in amortization of intangibles and depreciation and $262,550 from non-cash share based compensation.   During the past quarter, the Company obtained long-term financing to repay shorter-term obligations when due. These conditions taken in conjunction with the Company’s history of operating losses raises doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon management’s ability to increase operating cash flows, continued availability on its line of credit and the ability to obtain alternative financing to fund capital requirements and/or debt repayments coming due in the next twelve months. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

c) Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are unaudited.   In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair representation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations.   The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 2009 appearing in Form 10K filed on April 15, 2010.

d) Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For those consolidated subsidiaries where Company ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholders' interests are shown as minority interests. Investments in affiliates over which the Company has significant influence but not a controlling interest are carried on the equity basis.

e) Use of estimates:

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to impairment of goodwill and equity investments, revenue recognition, recoverability of inventory and receivables, the useful lives long lived assets such as property and equipment, the future realization of deferred income tax benefits and the recording of various accruals. The ultimate outcome and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

f) Share-based payments

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board  Accounting Standards Condification 718-10, Accounting for Share-based payments , to account for compensation costs under its stock option plans and other share-based arrangements.  ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. For purposes of estimating fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. At June 30, 2010, there was approximately $437,158 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted. The $437,158 will be charged to operations over the weighted average remaining service period. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 share-based compensation was $131,275 and $262,500 respectively. This compared to $125,631 and $251,266 in the prior year periods.

g) Reclassifications

Certain items have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the period ended March 31, 2010. The reclassification had no effect on previously reported Net income.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications were limited to the statement of Operations presentation and did not impact the Net Income (Loss). Specially, the Company reclassified revenues from “Revenue – Technology Services and Revenue – Technology Products to “Revenue”, with prior periods updated to conform to this presentation.

h) Revenue Recognition

Revenues related to collect and prepaid calling services generated by the communication services  segment are recognized during the period in which the calls are made. In addition, during the same period, the Company records the related telecommunication costs for validating, transmitting, billing and collection, and line and long distance charges, along with commissions payable to the facilities and allowances for uncollectible calls, based on historical experience.

Government claims: Unapproved claims relate to contracts where costs have exceeded the customer’s funded value of the task ordered on our cost reimbursement type contract vehicles. The unapproved claims are considered to be probable of collection and have been recognized as revenue. Unapproved claims included as a component of our Accounts Receivable totaled approximately $1,525,000 and $1,245,000 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Consistent with industry practice, we classify assets and liabilities related to these claims as current, even though some of these amounts are not expected to be realized within one year.
 
Additional revenue recognition policies are stated in our 10K filed April 15, 2010.

i) Segment Reporting

FASB ASC 280-10-50, “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 company’s 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.  The Company operates in two segments for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Prior to 2010 the company operated in one segment.
 
j) Recent accounting pronouncements
 
The FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for us beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

(a) Bank line-of-credit:
  
On July 17, 2009, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lattice Government Services (formally “RTI”), entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the “Action Agreement”) with Action Capital Corporation (“Action Capital”). 
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Action Agreement, Action Capital agreed to provide the Company with advances of up to 90% of the net amount of certain acceptable account receivables of the Company (the “Acceptable Accounts”).  The maximum amount eligible to be advanced to the Company by Action Capital under the Action Agreement is $3,000,000.  The Company will pay Action Capital interest on the advances outstanding under the Action Agreement equal to the prime rate of Wachovia Bank, N.A. in effect on the last business day of the prior month plus 1%.  In addition, the Company will pay a monthly fee to Action Capital equal to 0.75% of the total outstanding balance at the end of each month.
 
In addition, pursuant to the Action Agreement, the Company granted Action Capital a security interest in certain assets of the Company including all, accounts receivable, contract rights, rebates and books and records pertaining to the foregoing (the “Action Lien”). On June 11, 2010, Action Capital and I. Wistar Morris entered into an agreement under which $1,250,000 of the collateral otherwise securing advances covered by the Action Agreement are subordinated to a new security interest securing an additional load from Morris.
 
The outstanding balance owed on the line at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $792,517 and $838,231 respectively.

(b) Note payable

In  February 2010 (“effective date”)the former RTI shareholders   assigned their interest in the note to a third party, at which time the Company amended  the terms of the note  to pay interest only and extend the maturity for 18 months with a balloon payment August 19, 2012. The holder has a call option on the principal balance of $531,000 which includes $31,000 in deferred financing fees after twelve months from the effective date upon written notification 45 days in advance. The balance at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $531,000 and  $562,500 respectively.
 
(c) Notes payable Director:
 
The Company has a term note payable with a director of the Company totaling $179,239 and $197,180 at June 30, 2010 and  December 31, 2009, respectively. The note bears interest at 21.5% per annum   In February 2010 the Company renegotiated the terms of the note as follows:

Monthly principal payments:

$6,000 from February 1, 2010 to July 1, 2010
$9,869 from August 1, 2010 to December 1, 2010
$10,368 from January 1, 2011 to July 1, 2011
Balance due of $85,011 August 1, 2011

(d) Capital Lease Payable:
 
On June 16, 2009 Lattice entered an equipment lease financing agreement with Royal Bank America Leasing  to purchase approximately $130,000 in equipment for our communication services. The terms of which included monthly payments of $5,196 per month over 32 months and a  $1.00 buy-out at end of the lease term. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance was $75,129 and $94,297 respectively.

(e) Note Payable – I. Wistar Morris

On June 11, 2010 Lattice closed on a Note Payable with I. Wistar Morris for $1,250,000.  The proceeds to the Company were $1,100,000. The note matures June 30, 2012 and payment of principal will be due at that time in the lump sum value of $1,250,000 including interest. Until maturity, Lattice is required to make quarterly interest payments (calculated in arrears)  at 12% stated interest with the first quarter interest payment of $37,500 due September 30, 2010 and $37,500 due each quarter end thereafter until the final payment comes due June 30, 2012 totaling $1,287,500 including the final interest payment. The note is secured by certain receivables totaling $1,250,000. Concurrent with the note, an intercreditor agreement was signed between Action Capital and I. Wistar Morris where Action has agreed to subordinate the ACTION Lien on certain government contracts, task orders and accounts receivable totaling $1,250,000.

Note 4 - Derivative financial instruments:

The balance sheet caption derivative liabilities consist of Warrants, issued in connection with the 2005 Laurus Financing Arrangement, and the 2006 Omnibus Amendment and Waiver Agreement with Laurus. These derivative financial instruments are indexed to an aggregate of 2,358,333 and 4,313,465 shares of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and are carried at fair value.

Note 5 - Major Customers and Concentrations

Our government service segment’s primary  "end-user" customer is the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) which accounted for approximately 76% and 93%  of our total revenues for six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 they accounted for 75% and 92% of our total revenue. Accounts receivable for these contracts at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $2,898,000 and $3,335,667 respectively.
 
Included in the government segment are two contract vehicles with the Navy Space and Navel Warfare Command (SPAWAR) in San Diego that account for  58%  and  74% of its revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively and 61% and 70% of its revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively. Accounts receivable for these contracts at June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,968,000 and $2,926,000 respectively.
 
Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
From time to time, lawsuits are threatened or filed against us in the ordinary course of business. Such lawsuits typically involve claims from customers, former or current employees, and vendors related to issues common to our industry. A number of such claims may exist at any given time. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these matters, it is our management's opinion, based upon the information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, liquidity or financial condition of our company.
 
Note 7 -Exchange of Series A Preferred Stock for cancellation of Series A Warrants

On February 1, 2010, we received cash proceeds of $250,000 from Barron Partners L.P. in exchange for the issuance of 1,400,011 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and the return and cancellation of 1,955,132 shares of Series A warrants which were originally issued in conjunction with the September 19, 2006 Barron financing.  The exchange was effective February 19, 2010.

The Series A warrants did not meet all the conditions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 Derivatives and Hedging for equity classification so they had been recorded as derivative liabilities since inception. The fair value of the Series A warrants on the transaction date was determined to be $87,785 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes model as of the date of the exchange included a strike price of $0.283; a historical volatility factor of 181% based upon forward terms of instruments; a remaining term of 1.58 years; and a risk free rate of 0.95%.

The Series A Preferred was designated on August 28, 2006. The Series A Preferred has a par value of $0.01 and as of the date of the exchange, each share of preferred stock is convertible into 3.5714 shares of the Company’s common stock and would be automatically converted into common stock upon a change in control liquidation, at an amount equal to $.575 per share.  The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution   protection for (i) traditional capital restructurings, such as splits, stock dividends and reorganizations and (ii) sales or issuances of common shares or contracts to which common shares are indexed at less than the stated conversion prices.  Holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred are not entitled to dividends and the Holder has no voting rights.

In considering the application of ASC 815, we identified those specific terms and features embedded in the contract that possess the characteristics of derivative financial instruments. Those features included the conversion option and buy-in and non-delivery puts. In evaluating the respective classification of these embedded derivatives, we were required to determine whether the host contract (the Series A Preferred) was more akin to a debt or equity instrument in regards to the risks. This determination is subjective. However, in complying with the guidance provided in ASC 815 we concluded, based upon the preponderance and weight of all terms, conditions and features of the host contracts, that the Series A Preferred was more akin to an equity instrument for purposes of considering the clear and close relation of the embedded feature to the host contract. Based upon this conclusion, we further concluded that (i) embedded features did not require derivative liability classification and (ii) certain Non-delivery and Buy-in puts which require the Company to make-whole the investor for market fluctuation losses in the event of non-delivery of conversion shares meet the requisite criteria of a derivative financial instrument and should be bifurcated. Since share delivery is in the Company’s option and they have enough authorized shares to settle their share-settleable debt, it was determined that the value of these puts was deminimus.
The fair value of the Series A Preferred on the date of the exchange was determined to be $467,840 by considering both (i) the fair value based upon the common stock equivalent value, plus the fair value of enhancements, such as the anti-dilution protection and (ii) the liquidation value. Since the fair value of the Series A Preferred was greater than the carrying value of the warrants and the cash paid, we are required to record a loss on extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470 Modifications and Extinguishments for the difference.  This exchange resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $130,055.

Note 8 - Purchase of intellectual property

On January 4, 2010 the Company entered into a Patent Licensing agreement supporting its communication services products.  In conjunction with the agreement the Company agreed to pay  $1,300,000 as follows;  $50,000 on the first of each month starting on January 1, 2010 and ending June 1, 2010 and a lump sum payment due of $1,000,000  on June 30, 2010. The $1,300,000 was paid in full pursuant to the licensing agreement as of June 30, 2010. The 1,300,000 was accounted for as intangible property and is being amortized over 120 months. Accordingly $32,500 amortization expense was included as a component of the communication segment cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 855-10, we have evaluated all events or transactions that occurred from July 1, 2010 through the filing with the SEC.  We did not have any material recognizable subsequent events during this period.

All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management's expectations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from government contracts under which we act as both a prime contractor and indirectly as a subcontractor to Federal DoD agencies.  Revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from government contracts accounted for $2,519,118 or 75% of our overall revenues. Of our total government services revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010, approximately 62% were from two Prime contract vehicles under SPAWAR (JPMIS).  Although we should continue to see government contracts accounting for the largest portion of our revenue we expect to start to see the percentage of overall revenues from our communications group increase based on anticipated growth in our communications services revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, revenues from our communication segment increased to 25% of total revenues from 7% in the prior year same period.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenues from our communication segment increased to 24% of total revenues from 8% in the prior year same period.
 
Our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $3,373,738 which was a decrease of 792,963 or 19% compared to the prior year same period.  This consisted of a decrease of $1,341,805 or 34.8% in our Government services segment partially offset by an increase of $548,843 or 179% in our Communications segment.  The decrease in our Government segment consisted of, primarily a decline in lower margin subcontractor revenues attributable to certain task orders on certain programs ending in 2009 combined with a funding delays on certain other programs during the current quarter under our Seaport (SPAWAR) contract vehicles. We anticipate that the new  task orders will be awarded and the delayed funding to resume under our Seaport contract as contract ceilings have not yet been fully absorbed. Based on our bid pipeline and teaming arrangements, we continue to anticipate wins in new agencies and expansion on existing contracts in the 2nd half of the year.   Our current legacy contracts that have extensions have all been renewed for 2010 and we expect our higher margin in-house or direct labor revenues to be consistent with 2009 levels on these legacy contracts.  The majority of the bids we currently have and are awaiting on are awards are with new agencies or new contracts that add to our current contract base.  In addition, we have entered into a number of teaming agreements with other government contractors enabling us to provide services on current contracts that they have been awarded.  We anticipate these awards to begin in the second half of this year.  The addition of new contracts will also decrease the concentration risk of revenues attributable to our SPAWAR contracts.

Historically, our revenue from the Communications Group has been derived from wholesaling product and services to service providers providing telecom services to inmate facilities.  In the second  half of 2009 we expanded our offering to include direct services to end-user inmate facilities either providing directly to inmate facilities or via a partnering arrangement with other service providers.  This decision was made based on our insight to the growth opportunities with the company’s current customer base and within the inmate telecommunications market.  The transition to the new services model was completed late in 2009 and enabled us to move into a market that has an addressable market of over $1.2 billion per year.  This is based on the size of the inmate population in the United States and the telecommunications traffic derived by this population and does not take into account any additional products we may offer or foreign markets we may be able to pursue.  With the transition to the direct service based model $487,602 or 57% of our total communications segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was attributable to our new direct services product offering.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 approximately $1,045,000 or 62% of our communication segment revenues was attributable to direct services launched late in 2009. This resulted in an overall increase in out communication segment revenues of of 179% and 177% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010  compared to the prior year periods. There are risk factors such as contracts being cancelled or a drop in network usage that could cause a decline in our communication group revenue however based on our current operations we do not foresee any factors that would cause a disruption.
 
The new business model will continue to require the company to make upfront capital investments in equipment with each new contract win.  To date,  we have secured equipment financing to support our contract wins.  In addition, in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 we have made a $1,300,000 investment in licensing technology.  We were able to finance this payment with the $1,250,000 debt financing closed in the current quarter.   The change in strategy to a direct service based model in our communication group business should not require significant R&D investments in developing our call platform technology since our call control technology has been deployed and is currently operating in this market from our legacy wholesaling business.

REVENUES:

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $792,963 or 19% to $3,373,737 compared to $4,166.700 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our Government Services segment which represents revenues from professional engineering services to Federal government Dept of Defense (DoD) agencies accounted for 74% of total revenues compared to 93% in the year ago quarter.

Our Government services revenues decreased by $1,341,805 or 34.8% to $2,519,118 from $3,860,923 in the year ago quarter. The decrease was mainly attributable to certain task orders ending in 2009 combined with funding delays during the current quarter on other programs under our Seaport (SPAWAR) contract vehicle. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decline in lower margin subcontracted revenues as opposed to revenues supported by higher margin in-house or direct labor. We anticipate the funding will resume on some of the programs and the addition of new programs will be added in the 2nd half of this year to absorb unutilized contract ceilings on both our Seaport SPAWAR-JPMIS and SSA contract vehicles.

Our communications segment revenues increased by $548,843 or 179.5% to $854,620 from $305,777 in the prior year.  The revenue increase was mainly attributable to the direct service model launched late in 2009 which accounted for approximately $487,602 or 160% of the increase.

GROSS MARGIN:

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,391,852, an increase of $109,658 or 8.6% compared to the $1,282,194 for three months ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 41.3% from 30.7% for the same period in 2009. The increase in percentage was primarily due to an increase in our Government service margin percent partially offset by a decrease in our communication segment margin. The increase in our Government segment margin from 28.1% to 45.1% was mainly due to a decline in lower margin subcontracted revenues relative to in-house or direct labor revenues compared to the prior year period.  Our communication margin percent decreased from 64.8% to 35.2% as a result of the launch of the direct service product line late in 2009. Historically, the margin percentage in our communication segment from wholesaling telecom equipment systems and services ran in the low 60% range.  The direct service gross margin percentage runs in the 20 to 30 percent range.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES:

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, and consulting fees associated with product development in our Technology Products segment.   For the three months ended June 30, 2010, research and development expenses increased slightly to $144,799 as compared to $143,182 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  Management believes that continual enhancements of the Company's existing products are required to enable the Company to maintain its current competitive position. 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

Selling, General and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of expenses for management, fringe benefits, indirect overhead, labor costs of billable technical staff not charged to a project or contract, finance, administrative personnel, legal, accounting, consulting fees, sales commissions, marketing, facilities costs, corporate overhead and depreciation expense.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010, SG&A expenses decreased to $1,090,745 from $1,239,801 in the comparable period prior year.  As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 32.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus 29.8% in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease in expense was mainly attributable to a decrease in corporate expense due to cost cutting measures, a decrease in variable government fringe and indirect overhead expenses which declined in line with a decrease in billable staff in our Government segment. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in selling costs supporting our new direct services product launched late 2009 in our communications segment.

AMORTIZATION EXPENSES:

Non-cash amortization expenses related mainly to intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of RTI and SMEI are stated separately in our statement of operations.. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $172,136 compared to $299,248 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is attributed to certain intangibles being fully amortized in 2009 and an impairment charge to the carrying value of intangibles taken in the 4th quarter of 2009.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest Expense increased to $94,069 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $48,897 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in interest expense was mainly due to increased average outstanding balance on our revolving line-of-credit, an increase in net borrowings and an increase in interest rate on the amended note with fomer RTI shareholders.. Interest expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was comprised primarily of interest charges on its revolving line-of-credit and short term notes.

NET LOSS:

REVENUES:

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $859,789 or 10.8% to $7,114,794 compared to $7,974,583 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our Government Services segment which represents revenues from professional engineering services to Federal government Dept of Defense (DoD) agencies accounted for 76% of total revenues compared to 92% in the year ago period.

Our Government services revenues decreased by $1,936,495 or 26.3% to $5,430,953 from $7,367,448 in the year ago period. The decrease was mainly attributable to certain task orders ending in 2009 combined with funding delays incurred in the current quarter on certain programs under our Seaport (SPAWAR) contract vehicles. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower margin subcontracted revenues as opposed to in-house or direct labor revenues.

Our communications segment revenues increased by $1,076,707 or 177% to $1,683,842 from $607,135 in the prior year.  The revenue increase consisted of revenue growth attributable to our new direct services product launched in the latter part of 2009 accounting for $1,045,000 or 172% of the increase compared to prior year.

GROSS MARGIN:

Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2,565,358, an increase of $31,784 or 1.3% compared to the $2,533,574 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 36.1% from 31.8% for the same period in 2009. The increase in percentage was due to an increase in our government service margin percentage from 29.2% to 38.7% partially offset by a decrease in our communication services segment margin from 63.3% to 32.9%. The increase in Government services margin percent was primarily mix related due to the decline in lower margin subcontracted revenue relative to direct labor revenue.  The decrease in our communication service gross margin percentage was mainly the result of the introduction of direct service product revenues launched in latter part of 2009.. The legacy margin in our communications services segment from wholesaling telecom equipment systems and services runs in the low 60% range.  The direct service gross margin percentage runs in the 20 to 30 percent range.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES:

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, and consulting fees associated with product development in our Technology Products segment.   For the six months ended June 30, 2010, research and development expenses increased slightly to $300,330 as compared to $295,677 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Management believes that continual enhancements of the Company's existing products are required to enable the Company to maintain its current competitive position.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

Selling, General and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of expenses for management, fringe benefits, indirect overhead, labor costs of billable technical staff not charged to a project or contract, finance, administrative personnel, legal, accounting, consulting fees, sales commissions, marketing, facilities costs, corporate overhead and depreciation expense.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, SG&A expenses decreased to $2,288,822 from $2,361,793 in the comparable period prior year.  As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 32.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus 29.6% in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease in expense was mainly attributable to a decrease in corporate expenses due to cost cutting measures, a decrease in variable fringe and indirect overhead expenses which declined in line with a decrease in billable staff in our Government segment. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in selling costs supporting our new direct services product launched late 2009 in our communications segment.

AMORTIZATION EXPENSES:

Non-cash amortization expenses related mainly to intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of RTI and SMEI are stated separately in our statement of operations.. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $281,272 compared to $598,496 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is attributed to certain intangibles being fully amortized in 2009 and an impairment charge to the carrying value of intangibles taken in the 4th quarter of 2009.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest Expense increased to $175,840 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $126,114 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Interest expense in 2010 was comprised primarily of interest charges on its revolving line-of-credit and short term notes. The increase was due to increase in (i) average outstanding borrowings on our line of credit (ii) partial interest on the $1,250,000 debt financing closed in June 2010, (iii) increased interest rate from 10% to 15% per annum on the amended note with the former RTI shareholders.
 
NET LOSS:

The Company’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $591,460 compared to a net loss of $575,419 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $835,737 at June 30, 2010 from $212,616 at December 31, 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities was $748,871 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $369,162 in the corresponding six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in operating cashflows in  the current period  was mainly due to decrease in Government segment receivables of $469,515from December 31, 2009 levels due to the decrease in revenues and an increase in customer advances of $154,225 due to the increased revenues from our direct services communications product.
 
Net cash used in investment activities was $1,330,427 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $32,773 in the corresponding period ended June 30, 2009. Investing activities totaled $1,330,427 and was comprised of $1,300,000 for patent licensing and $30,427 for network equipment supporting our direct telecom services revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $32,773 in the six months ended June 30, 2009. With the launch of our direct telecom services product in the latter part of 2009, we expect to continue to have a requirement for capital on a project by project basis as we are awarded service contracts. To date, we have financed these equipment purchases with equipment based financing and operating cashflows. The capital requirement for our Government services business is nominal since it is mainly driven by the level of and hiring’s of billable staff, which requires the purchase of personal computers, in-house servers and network infrastructure.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,204,676 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $789,950 in the corresponding six months ended June 30, 2009. The $1,204,676 consisted of $1,350,000 in financing proceeds which included the $1,100,000 proceeds on the $1,250,000 debt financing closed in June 2010 and the $250,000 proceeds from the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock in the first quarter of 2010. These proceeds were offset by payments totaling $145,324 on our revolving line of credit and short term notes.

 Going concern considerations:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The going concern basis was due to the Company’s historical negative operating cash flow and losses. The Company’s working capital deficiency at June 30, 2010 was $1,141,315 including non-cash derivative liabilities of $183,458. This condition raises doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon its ability to improve its operating cashflows over current levels and maintain continued availability under its line of credit financing. Included in the working capital deficiency, is a $1,503,742 of notes payable comprised of $792,517 outstanding on the Company’s revolving line of credit, and $710,925 short term debt coming due within the next twelve months, $531,000 of which could come due February 2011 upon 45 days notice at the option of the holder.   The Company will need to increase its operating cashflows from current levels raise alternative financing and/or restructure existing debt in a difficult credit environment to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that management will be successful in raising the necessary alternative financing required.

Financing Activities:

On February 1, 2010, the Company received cash proceeds of $250,000 from Barron Partners LP in exchange for the issuance of 1,400,011 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the return and cancellation of 1,955,000 “A” warrants. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible to 3.5714 shares of common stock. The proceeds from the issuance were primarily used to fund the monthly payments pursuant to the settlement agreement and patent license agreement entered into January 4, 2010 (see below).

On January 4, 2010 the Company entered into a settlement and patent licensing agreement supporting its communication services products.  In conjunction with the agreements the Company agreed to pay  $1,300,000 as follows;  $50,000 on the first of each month starting on January 1, 2010 and ending June 1, 2010 and a lump sum payment due of $1,000,000  on June 30, 2010.  As of the date of this filing, the Company has paid the $1,300,000 in full.

On February 19, 2010, we amended the terms on the $750,000 note ($562,500 remaining balance as of December 31, 2009) as follows: (i) the interest rate was increased to 15% from 10%, (ii) the maturity date of the note was extended to August 19, 2012 from October 15, 2010., (iii) the principal amortization of the note was changed from monthly payments of $62,500 to a lump sum payment of 531,000 due August 19, 2012.  A call option was added on the principle balance of $531,000 after twelve months from the effective date upon 45 days prior written notice.

On June 11, 2010 Lattice closed on a Note Payable with I. Wistar Morris for $1,250,000.  The proceeds to the Company were $1,100,000. The note matures June 30, 2012 and payment of principal will be due at that time in the lump sum value of $1,250,000 including interest. Until maturity, Lattice is required to make quarterly interest payments (calculated in arrears)  at 12% stated interest with the first quarter interest payment of $37,500 due September 30, 2010 and $37,500 due each quarter end thereafter until the final payment comes due June 30, 2012 totaling $1,287,500 which includes the final interest payment. The note is secured by certain receivables totaling $1,250,000. Concurrent with the  note, an intercreditor agreement was signed between Action Capital and I. Wistar Morris where Action has agreed to subordinate the Action Lien in certain government contracts, task orders and accounts receivable totaling $1,250,000. The note, security agreement and intercreditor agreement were amended on July 21, 2010 to correct references to accounts and invoices.

Our current cash position, availability on our line of credit and current level of operating cashflows are not adequate to support payments on indebtedness coming due over the next twelve months. In this regard, we are highly dependent on increasing our operating cashflows, maintaining continued availability on our line of credit facility and raising alternative financing in order for us to service our current indebtedness coming due over the next twelve months.  We have initiated cost reduction activities early 2010 which we estimate to have annualized cost savings of approximately $300,000 – $400,000. Additionally, we have secured new customer accounts related to our new telecom services product which added approximately $2,000,000 in annualized revenues to our communication group business. Despite these measures though, there can be no assurances that the Company’s businesses will generate sufficient forward cash flows from operations or that future borrowings under our line of credit facility will be available in an amount sufficient to service our current indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs.  Additionally, we are highly dependent on our ability to maintain contract funding and increase funding under our SPAWAR contract vehicles which comprised 46% of our overall revenues.  Any interruption in task order funding or continued funding delays on these vehicles will have a material adverse effect on operations and our ability to continue business as a going concern. As of the date of filing we are in good standing on these contracts and we anticipate follow-on funding to continue for the remaining multi-year contract term which expires on March 31, 2012.
 
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS:

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,  revenue, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

N/A.
 
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud if any, within a company have been detected.

Management has determined that, as of June 30, 2010, there were material weaknesses in our internal controls as of June 30, 2010.  A material weakness in the Company’s internal controls exists in that, beyond the Company’s Chief Financial Officer there is a limited financial background amongst other executive officers or the board of directors.  This material weakness may affect management’s ability to effectively review and analyze elements of the financial statement closing process and prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  As a result of the material weaknesses described above, our management concluded that as of June 30, 2010, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
.
Changes in internal control
 
Our management, with the participation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation as to whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the 2010 Quarter ended June 30, 2010. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change occurred in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the 2010 Quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal  controls over financial reporting.

SECURITY AGREEMENT
 
          This Security Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of June11, 2010, is entered into by and between LATTICE, INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation, with offices at 7150 N. Park Drive, Suite 500, Pennsauken, NJ 08109, and LATTICE GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC. (“LGS” and formerly know as Ricciardi Technologies, Inc.), a corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia with offices at 2411 Dulles Corner Park, Suite 220, Herndon, VA 20171 (each individually a “Debtor”; and collectively, the “Debtors’’) and I. Wistar Morris with offices at Suite 300, 4 Tower Bridge, 200 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428 (the “Secured Party”).
 
BACKGROUND
 
       A.          Debtors are indebted to Secured Party pursuant to the terms of a certain Promissory Note bearing even date herewith in the principal amount of $1,250,000.00 (as it may hereafter be modified, supplemented or replaced, the “Note”).

    NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing Background hereinafter deemed incorporated by reference and made part hereof, Debtors and Secured Party, intending to be legally bound hereby, promise and agree as follows:
 
       1.          LGS hereby grant to Secured Party a continuing lien on and security interest in the following property of LGS, all whether now owned or hereafter created, arising or acquired (hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral”): All accounts, accounts receivable, and deposit accounts, and all cash and non-cash proceeds related the contracts set forth on attached Exhibit “A.”
 
       2.          The security interest hereby granted is to secure all obligations and liabilities of every kind or nature of Debtors to Secured Party under the Note, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, and including without limitation, all principal and interest (all of the foregoing, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Obligations”).
 
       3.          Debtors represent and warrant that: (a) each Debtor’s chief executive office is located at the location set forth in, and its full corporate name and jurisdiction of incorporation are set forth in, the introduction to this Agreement; and (c) the execution and delivery by Debtors of this Agreement and all related instruments, agreement and documents and performance of the transactions contemplated herein and therein (i) are and will be within the corporate or limited liability company powers of Debtors, (ii) have been authorized by all necessary action of Debtors; and this Agreement and any other agreements, instruments or docum ents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith shall be valid, binding and enforceable against Debtors in accordance with their respective terms.
 
 
 

 
 
       4.          LGS covenants and agrees that it shall: (a) following an Event of Default, allow Secured Party, by or through any of its officers, agents, attorneys, or accountants, to examine or inspect the Collateral wherever located; (b) do, obtain, make, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances and instruments as Secured Party may reasonably require to evidence, perfect or otherwise vest in and assure to Secured Party its rights hereunder and in or to the Collateral, and the proceeds thereof; and (c) promptly notify the Secured Party in writing in advance of any change in location of its chief executive office shown herein.
 
       5.          Each of the following events or conditions shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”): (a) failure of the Debtors to perform or observe any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; or (b) the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Note.
 
       6.           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party may declare all Obligations secured hereby immediately due and payable (or such Obligations shall be automatically due and payable under the terms of the Note) and Secured Party shall have, in addition to any remedies provided herein or by any other applicable law, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in New Jersey and as in effect from time to time (the ‘‘Code”). As permitted by such Code, the Secured Party may (i) peaceably by its own means or with judicial assistance enter the premises of LGS and take possession of the Collateral, or (ii) require LGS to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place designated by the Secured Party. Following an Event of Default the Secured Party or its representative is hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney for LGS (without requiring it to act as such) with full power of substitution to endorse the name of LGS upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders and other instruments for the payment of monies that are payable to such Debtor and constitute collections on such Debtor’s accounts receivable or other Collateral to the extent permitted by law or regulation. Debtors shall cooperate with and shall not interfere with or impede the exercise by Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder.
 
       7.          The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder or under any other agreement, instrument or paper signed by each Debtor unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
 
       8.          Debtors shall do anything further that may be lawfully and reasonably required by Secured Party to secure Secured Party and effectuate the intentions and objects of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of continuation statements, amendments to financing statements, and any other documents required hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall prevent or restrict Secured Party from preparing and filing financing statements and amendment statements to the extent permitted by the Code.
 
       9.          This Agreement and all related documents shall be governed and controlled by the internal laws of the State of New Jersey as to interpretation, enforcement, validity, construction, effect and in all other respects. Debtors and Secured Party irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New Jersey in any and all actions and proceedings arising hereunder.

       10.          The provisions of this Agreement and other agreements and documents referred to herein are to be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions which shall continue in full force and effect.
 
       11.          This Agreement together with any documents referenced herein constitute the entire understanding of the parties hereto regarding the subject matter hereof.
 
       12.          No modification hereof or waiver of any provision hereof shall be binding or enforceable unless in writing and signed on behalf of the party against whom enforcement is sought.
 
       13.          Each individual signatory hereto represents and warrants that he/she is duly authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of his principal and that he executes the Agreement in such capacity and not as a party.
 
       14.          All provisions herein shall inure to, and become binding upon, the successors, representatives, trustees, administrators, executors, heirs and assigns of the parties hereto.
 
       15.           SECURED PARTY AND DEBTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN SECURED PARTY AND DEBTORS HEREUNDER.
 
       16.          Any notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication which is required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail or by Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight courier service, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, with written confirmation to follow, to the parties at their respective addresses set forth above, or to such other address(es) as the addressee may specify in a notice duly given to the sender as provided herein. Such notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication will be deemed to have been given as of the date so delivered.
