ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Overview

We install, manage and support private communication networks for large organizations that have widely-dispersed locations or operations.  Our enterprise clients use these networks to deliver training programs, product announcements, entertainment and other communications to their employees and customers.  We use a variety of delivery technologies, including satellite, Internet streaming and WiFi, depending on the specific needs and applications of our clients.  All of the communication networks we are involved with utilize industry standard products and equipment sold by other companies.  We sell a limited number of proprietary network products in connection with the services we provide.  We also offer audio and video production services for our clients.

We own proprietary video compression technology that we call “CodecSys.”  Video compression is the process by which video content is converted into a digital data stream for transmission over satellite, cable, Internet or wireless networks.  Today, video compression is accomplished by using a single technique or computer formula to create a particular data stream.  Our CodecSys technology uses multiple techniques or computer formulas to create a particular data stream.  With CodecSys, video content may be transmitted over decreased bandwidth while maintaining media quality.

We believe our CodecSys technology will offer significant efficiencies and cost savings associated with video content transmission and storage.  In August 2005, we commenced marketing and selling the first application of our CodecSys technology in a video conferencing product.  We are still developing and improving the CodecSys technology for a variety of other applications, including Internet streaming, satellite encoding and transmitting video content to cellular phones and other hand-held electronic devices.  We believe these applications may hold substantial licensing and other revenue opportunities for our business.  Commercialization and future applications of the CodecSys technology are expected to require additional capital estimated to be approximately $2.0 million annually.  This estimate will increase or decrease depending on funds available to us.

Recent Developments

On August 15, 2006, we entered into a transaction with Yan Lang Studio Ltd., or YLS, a Hong Kong corporation, and various affiliated entities related to the acquisition of investment capital and licensing of technology.  This transaction involved a stock purchase agreement (including warrants and a registration rights agreement), stock exchange agreement and two separate technology license agreements.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” included in Item 7 of this report.

Pursuant to the foregoing transaction, we issued (i) 666,667 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 5,500,000 shares of our common stock to YLS in consideration of $1,000,000; (ii) 4,000,000 shares of our common stock to YLS in exchange for the license to use and distribute certain flash based e-publishing reader technology; (iii) 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation, in exchange for 1,515,544 shares of Sun New Media, Inc. shares of common stock; and (iv) an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to YLS (1,000,000 shares) and Beijing Broadvision Information Technologies, Ltd. (1,000,000 shares) in exchange for the license to use and distribute certain IPTV platform technology.

On January 22, 2007, we terminated the YLS transaction effective as of December 31, 2006.  Pursuant to the terms of a termination and release agreement, (i) we cancelled the stock purchase agreement (including warrants and a registration rights agreement), stock exchange agreement and the IPTV platform technology license agreement; (ii) we returned the 1,515,544 shares of common stock of Sun New Media, Inc. and cancelled the 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issued to Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd. in exchange therefor; (iii) we amended the remaining flash based e-publishing reader technology license agreement which continues between us and YLS; (iv) we returned to YLS the $1,000,000 received by us, less $500,000 which we previously advanced to an entity affiliated with Bruno



4



Wu, an affiliate of YLS; (v) Bruno Wu resigned as a member of our board of directors; and (vi) we cancelled all other shares of our common stock issued in connection with the YLS transaction, except for a total of 1,500,000 shares that YLS continues to hold as consideration for the continuing flash based e-publishing reader technology license agreement.

On September 29, 2006, we entered into a letter of understanding with Triage Capital Management, or Triage, whereby Triage provided $1,000,000 to us in exchange for us agreeing to enter into a convertible note securities agreement.  The funding provided by Triage was replaced with an unsecured convertible note and accompanying warrants, as described below, issued to Leon Frenkel, an affiliate and assignee of Triage.

On November 2, 2006, we closed on a convertible note securities purchase agreement dated October 28, 2006 with Mr. Frenkel, that provided we issue to Mr. Frenkel (i) an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the funding received by us on September 29, 2006, and (ii) four classes of warrants (A warrants, B warrants, C warrants and D warrants) which give Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock as described below.  The unsecured convertible note is due October 16, 2009 and bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semi-annually in cash or in shares of our common stock if certain conditions are satisfied.  The unsecured convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, convertible any time during the term of the note, and is subject to standard anti-dilution rights.  

The A warrants and B warrants expire one year after the effective date of a contemplated registration statement to be filed under the Securities Act to register the subsequent sale of shares received from exercise of the A warrants and B warrants. The C warrants and D warrants expire eighteen months and twenty-four months, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement. The A warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, the B warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, the C warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share, and the D warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  The warrants are exercisable at any time until their respective expiration dates and are subject to adjustment pursuant to standard anti-dilution rights.

On October 16, 2006, we held a special meeting of shareholders in which our shareholders approved, among other things, amended and restated articles of incorporation that (i) increased our authorized common stock, $0.05 par value, from 40,000,000 shares to 180,000,000 shares and our authorized preferred stock, no par value, from 10,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares; (ii) adopted a limitation of liability for our directors to the fullest extent permitted under Utah law; (iii) adopted indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Utah law; and (iv) included a provision allowing shareholder action to be taken by written consent without a meeting in accordance with Utah corporate law.

Service Revenue

We generate revenue by charging fees for the services we provide, and/or by selling equipment and satellite time.  A typical satellite network generates one-time revenues from the sale and installation of satellite receivers and antennas and monthly revenues from network management services.  On-site maintenance/service, production fees, and occasional satellite time are charged as they are used.

For Internet-based services, we charge customers monthly fees for hosting content, account management, quality assurance and technical support, if requested.  For delivery of content, we generally charge a fee every time a person listens to or watches a streamed audio or video presentation.  Encoding, production and content creation or customization are billed as these services are performed.  We have also entered into content development partnerships with professional organizations that have access to subject matter experts.  In these cases, we produce web-based training presentations and sell them on a pay-per-view basis, sharing revenues with the respective partner.

In the process of creating integrated technology solutions, we have developed proprietary software systems such as our content delivery system, incorporating site, user, media and template controls to provide a powerful mechanism to administer content delivery across multiple platforms and to integrate into any web-based system.  We use our content delivery system to manage networks of thousands of video receiving locations for enterprise clients.

The percentages of revenues derived from our different services fluctuate depending on the customer contracts entered into and the level of activity required by such contracts in any given period.  Of our net sales in 2006, approximately 95% were derived from satellite–based services and approximately 5% were derived from product and content development and all other services.

Our network management and support services are generally provided to customers by our operations personnel located at our corporate headquarters.  Our production and content development services are generally provided by our personnel from our production studio.  We generally contract with independent service technicians to perform our installation and maintenance services at customer locations throughout the United States.

E-Publishing Reader Technology

In August 2006, we obtained rights to use certain flash based e-publishing reader technology.  This technology gives us an opportunity to sell a software application to existing and new customers.  The software allows a customer to produce an e-magazine for easy, fast and inexpensive Internet delivery to its employees, distributors and customers.  It contains unique characteristics giving the user the look and feel of a printed magazine, but allows for in depth descriptions and pricing of products when requested by the customer.  In addition, we anticipate incorporating our CodecSys technology with this technology to provide low bandwidth video as a part of our product offering.

CodecSys Technology

We own proprietary video compression technology that we call “CodecSys.”  Video compression is the process by which video content is converted into a digital data stream for transmission over satellite, cable, Internet or wireless networks.  Today, video compression is accomplished by using a single technique or computer formula to create a particular data stream.  Our CodecSys technology uses multiple techniques or computer formulas to create a particular data stream.  With CodecSys, video content may be transmitted over decreased bandwidth while maintaining media quality.

In today's market, any video content designed to be distributed via satellite, cable, the Internet and other methods must be encoded into a digital stream using any one of numerous codecs.  The most commonly used codecs are now MPEG2 and MPEG4.  When new codecs are developed that perform functions better than the current standards, all of the video content previously encoded in the old format must be re-encoded to take advantage of the new codec.  Our CodecSys technology eliminates that obsolescence in the video compression marketplace by integrating new codecs into its library.  Using a CodecSys switching system to utilize the particular advantages of each codec, we may utilize any new codec as it becomes available by including it in the library.  Codec switching can happen on a scene-by-scene or even a frame-by-frame basis.

We believe the CodecSys technology represents an unprecedented shift from using only a single codec to compress video content to using multiple codecs and algorithms in the compression and transmission of content.  The CodecSys system selects dynamically the most suitable codecs available from the various codecs stored in its library to compress a single video stream.  As a video frame, or a number of similar frames (a scene), is compressed, CodecSys applies the codec from the library that best compresses that content.  CodecSys repeats the selection throughout the video encoding process, resulting in the use of numerous codecs on a best performance basis.  The resulting file is typically substantially smaller than when a single codec compression method is used.

New Products and Services

We believe our CodecSys technology will offer significant efficiencies and cost savings associated with video content transmission and storage.  In August 2005, we commenced marketing and selling the first application of our CodecSys technology in a video conferencing product.  We are still developing and improving the CodecSys technology for a variety of other applications, including Internet streaming, satellite encoding and transmitting video content to cellular phones and other hand-held electronic devices.  We believe these applications may hold substantial licensing and other revenue opportunities for our business.  To date, we have not generated any meaningful revenue from our CodecSys technology.  Commercialization and future applications of the CodecSys technology are expected to require additional capital estimated to be approximately $2.0 million annually.  This estimate will increase or decrease depending on funds available to us.

On March 16, 2007, we announced the establishment of a joint development center with IBM to focus on utilization of our CodecSystem technology with IBM’s multi-core Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell/B.E.) based BladeCenter QS20.  By collaborating with IBM’s engineers, we believe we can look at reaching a new level of R&D and delivering low-cost, high performance video compression solutions to our current and future clients faster than ever before.

Following are examples with brief descriptions of various applications of the CodecSys technology that have been identified by management.

Video Conferencing Product

Our first product utilizing the CodecSys technology is an Internet-based video conferencing product.  This product provides point-to-point and multi-party video conferencing at significantly reduced bandwidth and accompanying costs with video quality equal to or better than other commercially available equipment.  Because of the benefits associated with this product, we believe there are revenue opportunities to sell this product to enterprise customers desiring a competitively priced videoconference product that utilizes existing Internet connections.

Internet Streaming

Using CodecSys, customers are expected to be able to customize and optimize different streams, platforms and channels, including broadband, dial-up connections, landline, satellite and wireless.  Commercial quality video and stereo audio at low bandwidths is anticipated to provide a compelling competitive advantage in applications such as video-on-demand, distance learning and remote monitoring.  We anticipate realizing licensing fees and revenue from vendors of video-on-demand, distance learning and remote monitoring products and services who desire to reduce their distribution costs associated with such products and services while maintaining or improving the quality of their transmissions.  We have commenced providing Internet streaming of live sporting events for college athletic conferences as well as some professional sports teams. To date, we have not derived significant revenue from these services, but the limited number of events we have streamed were done profitably.  We intend to expand our marketing efforts for these services in 2007.

Satellite Encoding

We are currently developing a satellite encoder product that utilize the CodecSys technology.  We expect to use the product in connection with satellite transmissions over our private communication networks, thereby providing customers with reduced satellite transmission time and corresponding cost savings.  We plan to generate additional revenue by selling our private communication network satellite services to enterprise clients who are particularly cost-sensitive to such services.  We may also sell the satellite encoder product to other satellite transmission vendors and service providers who desire to reduce satellite transmission time and resulting costs.

Transmitting video content to cellular phones and other hand-held electronic devices

Video content that is currently being transmitted to cellular phones, PDAs and other hand-held electronic devices is currently limited by bandwidth and quality constraints.  We believe that our CodecSys technology will mitigate these constraints and offer higher quality transmissions with lower bandwidth requirements, thereby allowing enhanced video content, including full motion music videos, advertisements, sporting highlights and movie trailers.  We intend to generate additional revenue by licensing our technology to video content providers in these applications.

Research and Development

We have spent substantial amounts in connection with our research and development efforts.  These efforts have been dedicated to the development and commercialization of the CodecSys technology.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded research and development in process expenses of approximately $2,324,000.  Our ability to support future research and development activities will depend on our ability to generate and/or obtain adequate funding.  Assuming such funding is obtained, management estimates we will incur approximately $2.0 million annually in research and development expenses as we pursue commercialization applications for our technology as described above.  This estimate will increase or decrease depending on funds available to us.  See “Management’s Discussion



9



and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of this report.

Intellectual Property Protection

Because much of our future success and value depends on the CodecSys technology, our patent and intellectual property strategy is of critical importance.  Two provisional patents describing the technology were filed on September 30, 2001.  We have filed for patent protection in the United States and various foreign countries.  As of January 31, 2007, we had four issued foreign patents and 20 pending patent applications, of which five were U.S. applications and 15 were foreign counterpart applications.

We have identified additional applications of the technology, which represent potential patents that further define the product specific applications of the processes that are covered by the original patents.  We intend to continue building our intellectual property portfolio as funding permits.

We have registered the “CodecSys” trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and seek to protect our know-how, trade secrets and other intellectual property through a variety of means, including confidentiality agreements with our employees and customers.

Major Customers

A small number of customers account for a large percentage of our revenue.  Sales revenues from our three largest customers accounted for approximately 80% of total revenues for 2006 and 62% of total revenues for 2005.  The three largest customers in 2006 are not the same as the three largest customers in 2005, as we lost one of those customers and gained a substantial new customer.  Any material reduction in revenues generated from any one of our largest customers could harm our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.  Our largest customers may not continue to purchase our services and may decrease their level of purchases. We do not expect that our largest customer will purchase as much of our services in 2007 as in 2006 in part because this customer was acquired by one of its competitors.  To the extent that our largest customer reduces its reliance on us or terminates its relationship with us, revenues will decline substantially, which would harm our business, unless we can replace that customer with another similarly large customer.  We have recently secured such a customer, but we do not yet know the extent of the work or services that we will be providing for this customer.

Competition

The communications industry is extremely competitive.  In the private satellite network market, there are many firms that provide some or all of the services we provide.  Many of these competitors are larger than us and have significantly greater financial resources.  In the bidding process for potential customers, many of our competitors have a competitive advantage in the satellite delivery of content because many own satellite transponders or otherwise have unused capacity that gives them the ability to submit lower bids than we are able to make.  In the satellite network and services segment, we compete with Convergent Media Systems, Globecast, IBM, Cisco, TeleSat Canada and others.  With respect to video conferencing, we compete with Sony, Polycom, Tandberg and others.  

There are several additional major market sectors in which we plan to compete with our CodecSys technology, all with active competitors.  These sectors include the basic codec technology market, the corporate enterprise and small business streaming media market, and the video conferencing market.  These are sectors where we may compete by providing direct services.  Competition in these new market areas will also be characterized by intense competition with much larger and more powerful companies, such as Microsoft and Yahoo, that are already in the video compression and transmission business.  Many of these competitors already have an established customer base with industry standard technology, which we must overcome to be successful.



10



On a technology basis, CodecSys competition varies by market sector, with codecs and codec suppliers like Microsoft Windows Media Player, Real Networks' Real Player, Apple QuickTime, MPEG2, MPEG4, On2, DivX and many others.  There are several companies, including Akamai, Inktomi, Activate and Loudeye, that utilize different codec systems.  These companies specialize in encoding, hosting and streaming content services primarily for news/entertainment clients with large consumer audiences.  All are larger and have greater financial resources than we have.

Employees

We currently employ 35 full-time personnel at our executive offices and studio facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah, three employees at the Staples, Inc. studios in Framingham, Massachusetts, and three employees in Folsom, California at IDI.  In addition, we engage voice talent on an “as needed” basis at our recording studios and employ the services of independent sales representatives.

Government Regulation

We have seven licenses issued by the Federal Communications Commission for satellite uplinks, Ethernet, radio connections and other video links between our facilities and third-party uplinks.  Notwithstanding these licenses, all of our activities could be performed outside these licenses with third-party vendors.  All material business activities are subject to general governmental regulations with the exception of actual transmission of video signals via satellite.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this report.  Our business and our securities involve a high degree of risk.

If we do not successfully commercialize our CodecSys technology, we may never achieve profitability or be able to raise future capital.

It is imperative that we complete development of our CodecSys technology and commence sales of products or licensing of the technology to other parties.  We have never been involved in a development project of the size and breadth that is involved with CodecSys and none of our management has ever been involved with a software development project.  Management may lack the expertise and we may not have the financial resources needed for successful development of this technology.  Furthermore, commercialization and future applications of the CodecSys technology are expected to require additional capital estimated to be approximately $2.0 million annually for the foreseeable future.  This estimate will increase or decrease depending on funds available to us.  If we are unsuccessful in our CodecSys development and commercialization efforts, it is highly doubtful we will achieve profitable operations or be able to raise additional funding in the future.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”

Our current independent auditor, in its report dated April 2, 2007, and our former independent auditor, in its report dated February 18, 2005, with respect to our financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and for each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, included a “going concern” modification.  As discussed in Note 3 to the audited financial statements, we have incurred significant losses and used cash from operations for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006.  Because of these conditions, our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  



11



We need additional capital.  If additional capital is not available, we may have to curtail or cease operations.

In order to continue our operations, we need additional funding.  Our monthly operating expenses currently exceed our monthly net sales by approximately $250,000 per month.  This amount could increase significantly.  Given our current level of CodecSys development activity, we expect our operating expenses will continue to outpace our net sales until we are able to generate additional revenue.  We have no source of working capital except our current operations and the prospect of obtaining new equity or debt financing.  We must continue to sell equity or find another source of operating capital until our operations are profitable.  If we do not raise sufficient additional capital, we will be required to pursue one or a combination of the following remedies: significantly reduce operating expenses, sell part or all of our assets, or terminate operations.

We have a limited operating history with our current business and have sustained and may continue to sustain substantial losses.

Although we have been in existence for many years, our current business has only been ongoing for six years.  We have sustained operating losses in each of the last five years.  Through December 31, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $41,686,011.  We may continue to sustain losses on a quarterly and annual basis.

Covenant restrictions contained in our outstanding convertible notes may limit our ability to obtain additional capital and to operate our business.

Our senior secured convertible notes and our unsecured convertible note contain, among other things, covenants that may restrict our ability to obtain additional capital or to operate our business.  For example, (i) the senior secured convertible notes prohibit us from paying any dividends unless we obtain the prior written consent of the holders of at least 85% of the principal amount of such notes; (ii) the senior secured convertible notes and the unsecured convertible note contain anti-dilution provisions; and (iii) the securities purchase agreement, under which the unsecured convertible note was issued, granted rights of first refusal to participate in any future funding to the holder of the note purchased thereunder.  Furthermore, a breach of any of the covenants contained in the convertible notes could result in a default under the notes, in which event the note holders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable, which would require us to secure additional debt or equity financing to repay the indebtedness or to seek bankruptcy protection or liquidation.

Our systems of internal operational and financial controls may not be effective.

We establish and maintain systems of internal operational and financial controls that provide us with critical information.  These systems are not foolproof, and are subject to various inherent limitations, including cost, judgments used in decision-making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud.  Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.  Because of these limitations, any system of internal controls may not be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.  We have previously experienced significant deficiencies in our required disclosure controls and procedures regarding the updating of certain accounting pronouncements and the reporting of current information required to be filed with the SEC.  We have also experienced a significant deficiency and a material weakness in our required disclosure controls and procedures regarding our accounting entries and financial statements.  As a result of these factors, we were required to restate certain accounting periods in 2005.  Any future deficiency, weakness, malfunction or inadequacy related to internal operational or financial control systems could produce inaccurate and unreliable information that may harm our business.

We may be unable to respond adequately to rapid changes in technology.

The market for private communication networks is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions.  The introduction of new technology and products and the emergence of new industry standards not only impacts our ability to compete, but could also render our CodecSys technology uncompetitive or obsolete.  If we are unable to adequately respond to changes in technology and standards, we will not be able to serve our clients effectively.  Moreover, the cost to modify our services, products or infrastructure in order to adapt to these changes could be substantial and we may not have the financial resources to fund these expenses.

We face intense competition that could harm our business.

The communications industry is extremely competitive.  We compete with numerous competitors who are much larger than us and have greater financial and other resources.  With respect to video conferencing, we compete with Sony, Polycom, Tandberg and others.  In the satellite network and services segment, we compete with Convergent Media Systems, Globecast, IBM, Cisco, TeleSat Canada and others.  Our competitors have established distribution channels and significant marketing and sales resources.  Competition results in reduced operating margins for our business and may cause us to lose clients and/or prevent us from gaining new clients critical for our success.  

There are several additional major market sectors in which we plan to compete with our CodecSys technology, all with active competitors.  These sectors include the basic codec technology market, the corporate enterprise network market and small business streaming media market.  These are sectors where we may compete by providing direct services.  Competition in these new market areas will also be characterized by intense competition with much larger and more powerful companies, such as Microsoft and Yahoo, that are already in the video compression and transmission business.  Many of these competitors already have an established customer base with industry standard technology, which we must overcome to be successful.

On a technology basis, CodecSys competition varies by market sector, with codecs and codec suppliers like Microsoft Windows Media Player, Real Networks' Real Player, Apple QuickTime, MPEG2, MPEG4, On2, DivX and many others.  There are several companies, including Akamai, Inktomi, Activate and Loudeye, that utilize different codec systems.  These companies specialize in encoding, hosting and streaming content services primarily for news/entertainment clients with large consumer audiences.  All are larger and have greater financial resources than we have.

If we fail to hire additional specialized personnel or retain our key personnel in the future, we will not have the ability to successfully develop our technology or manage our business.

We need to hire additional specialized personnel to successfully develop and commercialize our CodecSys technology.  If we are unable to hire or retain qualified software engineers and project managers, our ability to complete development and commercialization efforts will be significantly impaired.  Our success is also dependent upon the efforts and abilities of our management team.  If we lose the services of certain of our current management team members, we may not be able to find qualified replacements which would harm the continuation and management of our business.  

We rely heavily on a few significant customers and if we lose any of these significant customers, our business may be harmed.

A small number of customers account for a large percentage of our revenue.  Our business model relies upon generating new sales to existing and new customers.  Sales revenues from our three largest customers accounted for approximately 80% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 62% of total revenues for the year ended December 31 2005.  The three largest customers in 2006 are not the same as the three largest customers in 2005, as we lost one of those customers and gained a substantial new customer.  Any material reduction in revenues generated from any one of our largest



13



customers could harm our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.  Our largest customers may not continue to purchase our services and may decrease their level of purchases.  We do not expect that our largest customer will purchase as much of our services in 2007 as in 2006 in part because this customer was acquired by one of our competitors.  To the extent that our largest customer reduces its reliance on us or terminates its relationship with us, revenues would decline substantially, which would harm our business, unless we can replace that customer with another similarly large customer.  

There is significant uncertainty regarding our patent and proprietary technology protection.  

Our success is dependent upon our CodecSys technology and other intellectual property rights.  If we are unable to protect and enforce these intellectual property rights, competitors will have the ability to introduce competing products that are similar to ours.  If this were to occur, our revenues, market share and operating results would suffer.  To date, we have relied primarily on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, and nondisclosure and other contractual restrictions on copying and distribution to protect our proprietary technology.  As of January 31, 2007, we had four issued foreign patents and 20 pending U.S. and foreign patent applications.  If we fail to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information or if we are unable to detect unauthorized use of our proprietary information, then our revenues, market share and operating results will suffer.  The laws of some countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.  Furthermore, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity.  This litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources that would harm our business.

Our products could infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which may subject us to future litigation and cause financial harm to our business.

To date, we have not been notified that our services, products and technology infringe the proprietary rights of third parties, but there is the risk that third parties may claim infringement by us with respect to current or future operations.  We expect software developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in the industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps.  Any of these claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, cause product shipment delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.  These royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us.  A successful claim against us of infringement and failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology on favorable terms would harm our business.

Our common stock is considered “penny stock” which may make selling the common stock difficult.

Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” under the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Under the rules, stock is considered “penny stock” if:  (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if quoted, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues at less than $6.0 million for the past three years.  The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend our stock but must trade it on an unsolicited basis.

Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account.  Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be



14



“penny stocks.”  Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor.  This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.  Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

Trading in our securities could be subject to extreme price fluctuations that could cause the value of your investment to decrease.

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past and could continue to do so in the future.  Our stock is thinly-traded, which means investors will have limited opportunities to sell their shares of common stock in the open market.  Limited trading of our common stock also contributes to more volatile price fluctuations.  The market price of our common stock is also subject to extreme fluctuations because of the nature of the CodecSys technology and the potential for large-scale acceptance or rejection of our technology in the marketplace.  Given these fluctuations, an investment in our stock could lose value.  A significant drop in our stock price could expose us to the risk of securities class action lawsuits.  Defending against such lawsuits could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, thereby causing an investment in our stock to lose additional value.

Future sales of our common stock could cause our stock price to decrease.

Substantial sales of our common stock in the public market, or the perception by the market that such sales could occur, could lower our stock price.  As of March 15, 2007, we had 27,345,274 shares of common stock outstanding.  As of March 15, 2007, stock options, including options granted to our employees, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,014,643 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, a substantial portion of which were fully exercisable.  As of March 15, 2007, notes convertible into 2,333,334 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding.  Future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for sale, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.  

Adverse economic or other market conditions could reduce the purchase of our services by existing and prospective customers, which would harm our business.  

Our business is impacted from time to time by changes in general economic, business and international conditions and other similar factors.  Adverse economic or other market conditions negatively affect the business spending of existing and prospective customers.  In adverse market times, our network and other services may not be deemed critical for these customers.  Therefore, our services are often viewed as discretionary and may be deferred or eliminated in times of limited business spending, thereby harming our business.

Any stock ownership interest may be substantially diluted by future issuances of securities.  

We are currently contemplating another equity or convertible debt financing.  In addition, we may issue shares of our common stock to holders of outstanding convertible notes, stock options and warrants.  The conversion of the convertible notes and the exercise of options and warrants into shares of our common stock will be dilutive to shareholders.  We also have offered and expect to continue to offer stock options to our employees and others, and have approximately 2,078,449 shares of common stock available for future issuance under our long-term incentive stock option plan.  To the extent that future stock options are granted and ultimately exercised, there will be further dilution to shareholders.



15



We have never paid dividends and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the future, so any return on an investment in our common stock will depend on the market price of the stock.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance our operations.  The terms and conditions of our convertible notes restrict and limit payments or distributions in respect of our common stock.  The return on any investment in our common stock will depend on the future market price of our common stock and not on any potential dividends.  

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

Dividends

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends.  Future payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other criteria, upon our earnings, capital requirements, and financial condition as well as other relative factors.  Management intends to retain any and all earnings to finance the development of our business, at least in the foreseeable future.  Such a policy is likely to be maintained as long as necessary to provide working capital for our operations.  Moreover, our outstanding convertible notes contain restrictive covenants that prohibit us to declare or pay dividends.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

All sales of our securities pursuant to any unregistered private offering during the fourth quarter of 2006 have been previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2007.  

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

We had no purchases of equity securities during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Stock Performance Graph

The performance graph below compares the cumulative total shareholder return of our common stock with the Russell 2000 Index and the NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index.  The Russell 2000 Index is comprised of U.S. publicly-owned companies with relatively small capitalizations that are comparable to us.  The NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index is comprised of publicly-owned technology companies that are similar to us.  The graph assumes an investment of $100 on December 31, 2001 and reinvestment of dividends, if any, on the date of payment without commissions.  The plot points on the graph were provided by Research Data Group, San Francisco, California.  The performance graph represents past performance, which may not be indicative of the future performance of our common stock.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this report.  This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this report.  See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.

Our accounting policies that are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and which require the highest degree of management judgment, relate to the reserves for doubtful accounts receivable, the valuation of stock and options issued for services, and revenue recognition.

Reserves for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Management estimates the amount of required reserves for the potential non-collectibility of accounts receivable based upon past experience of collection and consideration of other relevant factors.  Past experience, however, may not be indicative of future collections and therefore we could incur additional charges in the future to reflect differences between estimated and actual collections.



21



Valuation of stock and options

We value and account for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when evidence exists that there is an arrangement between us and our customers, delivery of equipment sold or service has occurred, the selling price to our customers is fixed and determinable with required documentation, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize as deferred revenue payments made in advance by customers for services not yet provided.

When we enter into a multi-year contract with a customer that has an established network to provide installation, network management, satellite transponder and help desk, or a combination of these services, we recognize this revenue as the services are performed and as equipment is sold.  These agreements typically provide for additional fees, as needed, to be charged if on-site visits are required by the customer in order to ensure that each customer location is able to receive network communication. As these on-site visits are performed, the associated revenue and cost are recognized in the period the work is completed.

Executive Overview

We continue to need additional capital to fund our operating activities, including the development of our CodecSys technology.  In 2006, we commenced a private placement offering of our securities by selling shares of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share.  In the offering, the purchaser of each share has received a warrant to acquire one share of common stock.  The warrants have a three-year exercise period and are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.  As of December 31, 2006, we had raised $1,743,166 from the sale of 1,162,110 shares of our common stock pursuant to the offering.  We subsequently raised $347,998 from the sale of 231,999 shares of our common stock in February 2007, which concluded this private placement offering.

On January 27, 2006, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Video Processing Technologies Inc., or VPTI, in exchange for an aggregate of 994,063 shares of our common stock.  In this transaction, we recognized $1,363,126 as common stock issued for acquisition in excess of asset valuation. Prior to the acquisition, VPTI had entered into a license agreement with the University of California, San Diego, related to certain patent pending technology which our management anticipates incorporating into the CodecSys technology.

On April 24, 2006, two of the institutional fund holders of our outstanding senior secured convertible notes converted an aggregate of $500,000 of their convertible notes into 333,334 shares of our common stock.  As a result of this conversion, the principal balance of the senior secured convertible notes was reduced from $3,000,000 to $2,500,000.  Additionally, the Company recognized $646,800 for the early extinguishment of debt.  As a result, the total value of the debt conversion amounted to $1,146,800.

On August 15, 2006, we raised $1,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement (including warrants and a registration rights agreement) with YLS, in which we sold 666,667 restricted shares of our common stock to YLS at a purchase price of $1.50 per share.  YLS was also issued warrants in accordance with the stock purchase agreement.  The warrants provided for the purchase of up to 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.60 to $3.00 per share.  In connection with the transaction, we entered into a stock exchange agreement and two separate technology license agreements with affiliated parties of YLS.  The foregoing YLS transaction, however, was terminated effective December 31, 2006, as described below.



22



On September 29, 2006, we entered into a letter of understanding with Triage, whereby Triage provided $1,000,000 to us in exchange for us agreeing to enter into a convertible note securities agreement.  The funding provided by Triage was replaced with a convertible note securities agreement dated October 28, 2006 entered into with Leon Frenkel, an affiliate and assignee of Triage, pursuant to which we issued to Mr. Frenkel an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the funding received by us on September 29, 2006, and warrants.  The unsecured convertible note is due October 16, 2009 and bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semi-annually in cash or in shares of our common stock if certain conditions are satisfied.  The unsecured convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, convertible any time during the term of the note, and is subject to standard anti-dilution rights.  The warrants provide for the purchase of up to 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.60 to $3.00 per share.  

On January 22, 2007, we terminated the YLS transaction effective as of December 31, 2006.  Pursuant  to the termination, we returned the funds we received in the transaction and all of the shares of common stock that we issued were cancelled, other than a total of 1,500,000 shares that YLS will hold in connection with a continuing technology license agreement, as described below.

On March 18, 2007, two of the institutional fund holders of our outstanding senior secured convertible notes converted an aggregate of $750,000 of their convertible notes into 500,000 shares of our common stock.  As a result of this conversion, the principal balance of the senior secured convertible notes was reduced from $2,500,000 to $1,750,000.  The outstanding notes are presently convertible into 1,166,667 shares of our common stock.

The conversion feature and the prepayment provision of the senior secured convertible notes and unsecured convertible note have been accounted for as embedded derivatives and valued on the respective transaction dates using a Black-Scholes pricing model.  The warrants related to the convertible notes have been accounted for as derivatives and were valued on the respective transaction dates using a Black-Scholes pricing model as well.  At the end of each quarterly reporting date, the values of the embedded derivatives and the warrants are evaluated and adjusted to current market value.  The conversion features of the convertible notes and the warrants may be exercised at any time and, therefore, have been reported as current liabilities.  Prepayment provisions contained in the convertible notes may not be exercised by us until one year after the respective issuance dates of the notes, and then only in certain limited circumstances.  For all periods since the issuance of the senior secured convertible notes and the unsecured convertible note, the derivative values of the respective prepayment provisions have been nominal and have not had any offsetting effect on the valuation of the conversion features of the notes.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005

Net Sales

We realized net sales of $13,894,383 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to net sales of $5,380,869 for the year ended December 31, 2005, which represents an increase of approximately 158% for the year.  We experienced the majority of our revenues from equipment sales and installation which generally have a lower margin than license fees and studio and production fees.  The net increase in revenues of $8,513,514 was the result of an increase of $8,743,311 in equipment sales and installation services and an increase in studio and video production services of $337,861.  These revenues were offset by a decrease of $307,746 in license fees primarily from the loss of one customer and a decrease of $167,343 in satellite fees.  Of the increase of $8,743,311 in equipment sales and installation revenue, $7,334,581 was the result of increased revenue from one customer.  We anticipate that revenues from this customer will decrease materially in 2007.

Cost of Sales

The cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 aggregated $13,153,261 as compared to the cost of sales of $5,434,433 for the year ended December 31, 2005, which represents an increase in cost



23



of sales of 142%.  The increase in cost of sales of $7,718,828 was primarily a result of the increase in equipment sales and installation services with their attendant costs.  Cost of equipment sales and installation services increased $7,564,963, which accounted for 98% of the increase in costs.  The remainder of the increase in cost of sales was the result of  an increase in operating department costs of $420,103 offset by a decrease of $163,725 in satellite distribution costs resulting from decreased satellite usage by customers and decreased depreciation of $102,513.  

Operating Expenses

We incurred total operating expenses of $9,333,178 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to total operating expenses of $4,491,654 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The increase of $4,841,524 was primarily due to an increase in our general and administrative expenses of $1,625,280, as explained below, an increase in research and development in process expenses of $1,511,262, and the expense resulting from the impairment of our e-publishing technology license of $1,732,600.  Of the increase in research and development in process expenditures, $1,363,126 resulted from recording an expense equal to the excess of cost over book value for the acquisition of VPTI.  These expenses were partially offset by a small decrease in sales and marketing expenses.

Our general and administrative expenses increased $1,625,280 from $2,958,232 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $4,583,512 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increase resulted principally from increases of $1,108,835 in outside consulting expenses, which included consultants working with us to position our company to raise additional funds, to restructure business operations departments, and to locate business partners for deployment of our technology.  We also incurred increased expenses of $937,436 related to the issuance of options and warrants granted to employees, directors and others.

Our sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $693,223 compared to sales and marketing expenses of $720,841 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The decrease of $27,618 is due to minor decreases in most expense categories, the largest of which was advertising and promotion.

Interest Expense

We recorded an increase in interest expense of $745,411 from interest of $1,149,209 in 2005 to $1,894,620 in 2006.  We incurred interest expense of $1,825,755 on our senior secured convertible notes, which included $888,892 of interest related to accretion of the notes as the notes are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet and amortization of debt issuance expense of $371,452.  In addition, we recorded interest of $67,891 on our unsecured convertible note which included $59,140 related to the accretion of the note as it is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $15,597,909 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to a net loss of $5,581,679 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The net loss before taxes increased by $10,016,230 which resulted from recording losses or increased expenses of (i) $4,841,524 from operations, which included $1,732,600 for the impairment of our e-publishing technology license discussed above; (ii) $4,152,591 on securities available for sale related to shares of Sun New Media, Inc. held by us until termination of the YLS transaction effective on December 31, 2006, which shares declined in value during the time held by us; (iii) $1,266,300 in the valuation of derivatives related to our senior secured convertible notes and the unsecured convertible note; and (iv) $745,411 of additional interest expense as noted above.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004

Net Sales

We realized net sales of $5,380,869 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to net sales of $5,385,657 for the year ended December 31, 2004, which represents a decrease of less than 1% for the year.  Although the revenues were materially unchanged, we experienced a change in the mix of services used by our customers from license fees and studio and production fees to more equipment sales and installation, which includes the associated costs of the equipment and installation and which generally have a lower margin than the license fees and studio and production fees.  The net decrease in revenues of $4,788 is the result of a decrease of $526,759 in license fees primarily from the loss of one customer and a decrease of $307,778 in production fees, the majority of which was also from another customer.  These decreases were offset by an increase in sales of equipment and installation revenues of $829,749.

Cost of Sales

The cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 aggregated $5,434,433 as compared to cost of sales of $5,438,409 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Because of certain cost and operating expense reclassifications effected in 2006, the amount of cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 decreased from that previously reported.  Similar to the modest decrease of $4,788 in net sales from 2004 to 2005, costs of sales decreased by $3,976 from 2004 to 2005.  As discussed above, we experienced a change in the mix of services to lower margin equipment and installation revenue.  Notwithstanding this change, higher costs of sales associated with equipment sales and installation, including increased satellite distribution costs, were offset by a decrease in operation department costs and decreased depreciation.

Operating Expenses

We incurred total operating expenses of $4,491,654 (after giving effect to certain 2006 reclassifications discussed above) for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to total operating expenses of $15,366,481 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The decrease of $10,874,827 was primarily due to a decrease in research and development in process expenses of $11,846,513.  During 2004, we recorded total research and development in process expenses of $12,659,094, which resulted from three transactions related to the acquisition of IDI and the ongoing development of the CodecSys technology more fully described as follows:

(1) Consolidation of IDI co-founders equity in IDI

1,219,573 

(2) Issuance of stock and options to IDI co-founders

 

1,211,502 

(3) Issuance of stock and options to Streamware AB

 

10,228,019 

 

12,659,094 

During the year ended December 31, 2005, none of the foregoing expenses were repeated.  We recorded research and development in process expenses of $812,581 for 2005.

Our general and administrative expenses, including production and maintenance costs, increased $1,018,913 from $1,939,319 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $2,958,232 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The increase resulted principally from increases of $165,273 in legal expenses, $59,444 in outside consulting expenses, $51,389 in accounting services, $85,495 in increased travel expenses, $36,174 in directors and officers insurance, and $68,560 in various other general expenses.

Our sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $720,841 compared to sales and marketing expenses of $732,959 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The increase of $12,118 was due to minor increases in most expense categories.  



25



Interest Expense

We recorded an increase in interest expense of $54,023 from interest of $1,095,186 in 2004 to $1,149,209 in 2005.  For the year ended December 31, 2005, the composition of the interest expense changed from 2004.  We paid interest expense of $330,500 on our senior secured convertible notes, recorded interest expense of $624,998 related to accretion of the notes as the notes are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, $188,879 of amortization of pre paid interest expense related to the cost of issuing the notes, and recorded interest expense of $4,832 related to the beneficial conversion feature of a convertible line of credit.  The holders of the convertible line of credit indebtedness converted all of the line of credit debt to common stock during 2005.  During 2004, all of the interest expense was related to the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible line of credit.

Net Loss

We had a net loss in the amount of $5,581,679 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to a net loss of $16,488,712 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The net loss before taxes decreased by $10,907,033, which was primarily the result of a decrease of $11,846,513 in research and development in process, offset by an increase of $1,018,913 in general and administrative expenses, and an increase of $54,023 in interest expense, all as explained above.  In addition, the net loss decreased by $95,722 related to an increase in interest income and gain on forgiveness of debt.

(1)  Included in long-term debt are senior secured convertible notes at the principal value of $2,500,000 and our unsecured convertible note at the principal value of $1,000,000.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2006, we had cash of $807,741, total current assets of $3,105,916, total current liabilities of $6,827,621 and total stockholders' deficit of $3,685,278.  Included in current liabilities is $4,631,500 which relates to the value of the embedded derivatives for the senior secured notes and related warrants and the unsecured convertible note and warrants.  

We experienced negative cash flow used in operations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 of $3,144,370 compared to negative cash flow used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $3,077,951.  The negative cash flow was met by sales of our common stock to investors pursuant to a private placement offering and by issuance of the unsecured convertible note.  We expect to continue to experience negative operating cash flow as long as we continue our technology development program or until we increase our sales by adding new customers.

Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 contain a “going concern” qualification.  As discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we have incurred losses and have not demonstrated the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our liabilities and sustain operations.  Because of these conditions, our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

On May 16, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement and completed a financing with a consortium of four institutional funds.  In the financing, we received $3,000,000 gross proceeds in cash pursuant to the issuance of senior secured convertible notes to the funds.  We used the proceeds from this financing to support our CodecSys research and development and for general working capital purposes.  The senior secured convertible notes are due May 16, 2008 and bear interest at 6% per annum.  Interest-only payments are due semi-annually and the first payment of $90,000 was made on November 16, 2005.  The notes were originally convertible into 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share, convertible any time during the term of the notes, but are now convertible at $1.50 per share.  



27



We were in default under the terms of the securities purchase agreement because we did not secure an effective registration statement by the deadline required in the agreement.  We cured the default by securing the effective registration statement and satisfied the liquidated damages arising due to the default by entering into a waiver agreement.  The securities purchase agreement was amended by the waiver agreement dated March 16, 2006, in which the notes became convertible into 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share.

In connection with the financing, the funds received A Warrants to acquire 600,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at $2.50 per share and B Warrants to acquire 600,000 shares of our common stock at $4.00 per share.  The waiver agreement changed the exercise price of the warrants to $2.00 per share for both the A Warrants and the B Warrants. Because we sold common stock during 2006 at $1.50 per share, the exercise price of the A and B Warrants has been reset to $1.50. The warrants are exercisable any time for a five-year period beginning on the date of grant.  The funds also received additional investment rights to make an additional loan of $3,000,000 on the same terms as the senior secured convertible notes and receive additional warrants with the same terms as the warrants already received by the funds.  The additional investment rights has to be exercised within 90 days of February 3, 2006 and they were not and have therefore expired.  We paid approximately $345,000 in cash for commissions, finders fees and expenses in securing this financing, $240,000 of which was included in prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2005 and is being amortized over the term of the notes.

The $1.50 conversion price of the senior secured convertible notes and the $1.50 exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment pursuant to standard anti-dilution rights.  These rights include (i) equitable adjustments in the event we effect a stock split, dividend, combination, reclassification or similar transaction; (ii) “weighted average” price protection adjustments in the event we issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than the then current market price of our common stock; and (iii) “full ratchet” price protection adjustments in the event we issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than $1.50 per share.  

The senior secured convertible notes contain a prepayment provision allowing us to prepay, in certain limited circumstances, all or a portion of the notes, subject to a prepayment premium of 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be prepaid. Even if we elect to prepay the notes, the note holders may still convert any portion of the notes being prepaid pursuant to the conversion feature thereof.

The securities purchase agreement contains, among other things, covenants that may restrict our ability to obtain additional capital, to declare or pay a dividend or to engage in other business activities.  A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our senior secured convertible notes, in which event holders of the notes could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable, which would require us to secure additional debt or equity financing to repay the indebtedness or to seek bankruptcy protection or liquidation.  The securities purchase agreement provides that we cannot do any of the following without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 85% of the principal amount of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes:

·

issue debt securities or incur, assume, suffer to exist, guarantee or otherwise become or remain, directly or indirectly, liable with respect to certain indebtedness;

·

except for those created under the securities purchase agreement, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, directly or indirectly, any liens, restrictions, security interests, claims, rights of another or other encumbrances on or with respect to any of our assets, of any kind, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom;

·

liquidate, wind up or dissolve (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution);

·

convey, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial portion of our properties or assets, other than transactions in the ordinary course of



28



business consistent with past practices, and transactions by non-material subsidiaries, if any;

·

cause, permit or suffer, directly or indirectly, any change in control transaction as defined in the senior secured convertible notes;

·

directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any transaction with any of our affiliates or any of our subsidiaries, if any, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of our business, upon fair and reasonable terms, that are fully approved by our Board of Directors, and that are no less favorable to us than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliate;

·

declare or pay a dividend or return any equity capital to any holder of any of our equity interests or authorize or make any other distribution to any holder of our equity interests in such holder’s capacity as such, or redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration any of our equity interests outstanding (or any options or warrants issued to acquire any of our equity interests); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the performance by us of our obligations under the warrants related to the senior secured convertible notes or the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the securities purchase agreement, or (ii) us and any of our subsidiaries, if any, from paying dividends in common stock issued by us or such subsidiary that is neither puttable by any holder thereof nor redeemable, so long as, in the case of any such common stock dividend made by any such subsidiary, the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of us in such subsidiary is not reduced as a result thereof; or

·

directly or indirectly, lend money or credit (by way of guarantee or otherwise) or make advances to any person, or purchase or acquire any stock, bonds, notes, debentures or other obligations or securities of, or any other interest in, or make any capital contribution to, any other person, or purchase or own a future contract or otherwise become liable for the purchase or sale of currency or other commodities at a future date in the nature of a futures contract, with very limited exceptions.

Section 4(a)(xi) of the senior secured convertible notes specified that it would have been an event of default if we had not raise at least $3,000,000 by September 30, 2006.  We satisfied the condition because as of such date we had raised approximately $3,243,000 from various transactions and financings discussed herein.

On August 15, 2006, we simultaneously entered into and consummated a stock purchase agreement with YLS, a Hong Kong corporation, providing for the sale of 666,667 restricted shares of our common stock to YLS at a purchase price of $1.50 per share for a total consideration of $1,000,000.  Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, we also issued warrants to YLS, including four classes of warrants (A warrants, B warrants, C warrants and D warrants), which gave YLS the right to purchase an additional 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.60 to $3.00 per share.  In connection with the stock purchase agreement, we paid a $100,000 finder’s fee to Telperion Holdings LTD, based in the Cayman Islands.

As contemplated by the stock purchase agreement, we entered into a stock exchange agreement with Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd., or Sun Media, a British Virgin Islands corporation, dated August 15, 2006, pursuant to which we issued 3,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Sun Media in exchange for 1,515,544 restricted shares of common stock of Sun New Media, Inc., a Minnesota corporation traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.  The stock exchange agreement also contained a covenant on our part to cause the appointment of Dr. Bruno Wu to our board of directors.  Mr. Wu is a principal and controlling shareholder of Sun Media and the Chairman of the Board of Sun New Media, Inc.  

We also entered into a technology license agreement with YLS, dated August 15, 2006, pursuant to which we received a fully paid, perpetual, non-exclusive, world wide license to use and distribute certain



29



flash based e-publishing reader technology.  In exchange for the license, we issued 4,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to YLS.

In conjunction with the foregoing transactions, we entered into a technology license agreement with Broadvision Global, Ltd., or BGL, a British Virgin Islands corporation, dated August 15, 2006, pursuant to which we received a fully paid, perpetual, exclusive, world wide license (except for The Peoples Republic of China) to use and distribute certain IPTV platform technology developed and licensed to BGL by Beijing Broadvision Information Technologies, Ltd., or BBIT.  In exchange for the license, we issued 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to each of YLS and BBIT.

On January 22, 2007, we terminated the YLS transaction effective as of December 31, 2006.  Pursuant to the terms of a termination and release agreement, (i) we cancelled the stock purchase agreement (including warrants and a registration rights agreement), stock exchange agreement and the IPTV platform technology license agreement; (ii) we returned the 1,515,544 shares of common stock of Sun New Media, Inc. and cancelled the 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issued to Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd. in exchange therefor; (iii) we amended the remaining flash based e-publishing reader technology license agreement which continues between us and YLS; (iv) we returned to YLS the $1,000,000 received by us, less $500,000 which we previously advanced to an entity affiliated with Bruno Wu, an affiliate of YLS; (v) Bruno Wu resigned as a member of our board of directors; and (vi) we cancelled all other shares of our common stock issued in connection with the YLS transaction, except for a total of 1,500,000 shares that YLS continues to hold as consideration for the continuing flash based e-publishing reader technology license agreement.

On September 29, 2006, we entered into a letter of understanding with Triage, whereby Triage provided $1,000,000 to us in exchange for us agreeing to enter into a convertible note securities agreement.  The funding provided by Triage was replaced with an unsecured convertible note and accompanying warrants, as described below, issued to Leon Frenkel, an affiliate and assignee of Triage.

On November 2, 2006, we closed on a convertible note securities agreement dated October 28, 2006 with Mr. Frenkel, that provided we issue to Mr. Frenkel (i) an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the funding received by us on September 29, 2006, and (ii) four classes of warrants (A warrants, B warrants, C warrants and D warrants) which give Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock as described below.  The unsecured convertible note is due October 16, 2009 and bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semi-annually in cash or in shares of our common stock if certain conditions are satisfied.  The unsecured convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, convertible any time during the term of the note, and is subject to standard anti-dilution rights.  

Under the convertible note securities purchase agreement, Mr. Frenkel has a right of first refusal to participate in any future funding on a pro rata basis until one year after the closing date.  Beginning on the first anniversary of the note, we may prepay all or a portion of the note, including interest.  

The A warrants and B warrants expire one year after the effective date of a contemplated registration statement to be filed under the Securities Act to register the subsequent sale of shares received from exercise of the A warrants and B warrants. The C warrants and D warrants expire eighteen months and twenty-four months, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement. The A warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, the B warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, the C warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share, and the D warrants grant Mr. Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  The warrants are exercisable at any time until their respective expiration dates and are subject to adjustment pursuant to standard anti-dilution rights.  This prospectus covers shares issuable upon exercise of the A warrants and the B warrants.  We may be required to file a subsequent registration statement covering shares issuable upon exercise of the C warrants and the D warrants.

On June 22, 2005, we secured a new customer contract, which resulted in revenues of approximately $1,400,000 for 2005 and $8,775,000 for 2006 and was our largest customer in 2006.  We anticipate that revenues from this customer will not continue at the same level for 2007.  We have, however, obtained another customer that we anticipate will at least partially, if not completely, replace the revenues lost from our largest customer in 2006.  We anticipate that our negative cash flow will diminish as our new customers makes projects and equipment available and as we are able to perform under their respective contracts.

Our monthly operating expenses currently exceed our monthly net sales by approximately $250,000 per month.  This amount could increase significantly.  Given our current level of CodecSys development activity, we expect our operating expenses will continue to outpace our net sales until we are able to generate additional revenue.  Our business model contemplates that sources of additional revenue include (i) sales from our private communication network services, (ii) sales resulting from new customer contracts , and (iii) sales related to commercial applications of our CodecSys technology.  Notwithstanding any additional revenue that may be realized for these sources, we will require additional capital in 2007.

Our long-term liquidity is dependent upon execution of our business model and the realization of additional revenue and working capital, as described above, and upon capital needed for continued development of the CodecSys technology.  Commercialization and future applications of the CodecSys technology are expected to require additional capital estimated to be approximately $2.0 million annually for the foreseeable future.  This estimate will increase or decrease depending on funds available to us.  The availability of funding will also determine, in large measure, the timing and introduction of new product applications in the marketplace.  Capital required for CodecSys is expected to come from internally generated cash flow from operations or from external financing.

To date, we have met our working capital needs through funds received from sales of our common stock, borrowings under a convertible line of credit and the convertible note financings described above.  Until our operations become profitable, we must continue to sell equity or find another source of operating capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate working capital or additional financing at all or on terms favorable to us.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.”  SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.”  SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and, amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.  SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after December 31, 2006.  We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 155.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109)” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier adoption encouraged. This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this interpretation.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 addresses how companies should measure the fair value of assets and liabilities when fair value recognition or disclosure is required. Additionally, SFAS 157 formally defines fair value as the amount that the company would receive if it sold an asset or transferred a liability to another company operating in the same market. The guidance of SFAS 157 must be applied to the first reporting period beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin, No.108 (“SAB 108”), which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. Early application of the guidance is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of SAB 108. SAB 108 is required for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We do not believe that the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 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, among other items, (1) that a company recognize the funding status of its defined benefit pension plan as an asset or liability on its balance sheet, (2) recognize in other comprehensive income gains and losses, net of tax, and prior service costs or credits that are not recognized in the current period, and (3) measure benefit plan assets and liabilities as of the company's balance sheet date. The guidance of SFAS 158 must be applied to the first reporting period ending after December 31, 2006. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 158.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates.  We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes or have any derivative financial instruments.  As discussed above, however, the embedded conversion feature and prepayment option of our senior secured convertible notes and our related warrants are deemed to be derivatives and are subject to quarterly “mark-to-market” valuations.  Our principal exposure to market risk is currently confined to our cash and cash equivalents.  Because of the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments.  We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure and are not exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Effective January 17, 2006, Tanner LC, certified public accountants, resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm.  The termination of our relationship with Tanner was unanimously accepted by our Board of Directors on January 17, 2006.

Tanner’s audit report to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt as to our company’s ability to continue as a going concern because we have not established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund future operating losses until we become profitable.  The audit report contains no other adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

In connection with Tanner’s audit for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the interim periods until the date of termination, there have been no disagreements with Tanner on any matter of accounting principals or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tanner, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection in its report on the financial statements.

There were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the year ended December 31, 2004 or the subsequent interim period through January 17, 2006, except that Tanner reported in the letters to our audit committee and Board of Directors, dated November 18, 2005 and February 18, 2005, that it had identified deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that it considered to be a “significant deficiency” or a “material weakness.”  The significant deficiency in our internal control consisted of (1) lacking significant accounting policy disclosures for accounts receivable, patents and impairment of long-lived assets, and (2) that the associated MD&A section of Form 10-KSB initially lacked certain disclosures of critical accounting policies.  The material weakness in our internal control consisted of a lack of accounting for conversion features embedded in our senior secured convertible notes and related warrants as embedded derivatives requiring liability classification.  Tanner, through the previously mentioned letters, informed our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors that the lack of these internal controls could lead to our not being in a position to develop reliable financial statements. Our management also disclosed the significant deficiency and material weakness to our Audit Committee and Board of Directors.  Our audit committee discussed the significant deficiency and material weakness with



33



Tanner.  We have authorized Tanner to respond fully to any inquiries by our successor auditor, HJ & Associates, LLC, regarding the significant deficiency and material weakness in internal control.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, implemented corrective action to remedy the significant deficiency and material weakness discussed above.  We are continuing efforts to improve and strengthen our system of internal control over accounting and financial reporting.  

Also on January 17, 2006, our Board of Directors unanimously approved a resolution to engage HJ & Associates, LLC, certified public accountants, to become our new independent certifying accountants.  During 2004 and 2005 and through January 17, 2006, we had not consulted with HJ & Associates regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us by concluding there was an important factor to be considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto, or a reportable event, as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2006 in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in our reports filed under the Exchange Act.  

Our evaluation identified a deficiency that existed in the design or operation of our disclosure controls and procedures related to the identification and reporting of certain transactions required to be included in current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.  Our management has disclosed the deficiency to our audit committee and board of directors.  Additional effort is needed to fully remedy the deficiency and we are continuing efforts to improve and strengthen our system of disclosure controls and procedures.  

Important Considerations

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud.  Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.  Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Rodney M. Tiede has been our Chief Executive Officer, President and a director since the BI acquisition in October 2003.  From August 2000 to the present, Mr. Tiede has been the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of BI, a wholly-owned subsidiary.  From April 2003 to the present, Mr. Tiede has also been the Chief Executive Officer and a director of IDI, a consolidated subsidiary.  From November 1987 to August 2000, Mr. Tiede was employed as Director of Sales, Vice President and General Manager of Broadcast International, Inc., the predecessor of BI.  Mr. Tiede received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Washington in 1983.

Reed L. Benson has been our Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel since the BI acquisition in October 2003.  Mr. Benson has been our Chief Financial Officer since December 2006.  He was also a director of ours from October 2003 until August 2006.  Mr. Benson has been in the private practice of law from April 2000 to the present and consulted directly with BI during that period.  From August 1987 to April 2000, he was Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of Broadcast International, Inc., the predecessor of BI, and from June 1995 to April 2000, he served as Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of Data Broadcasting Corporation, the former parent company of BI.  From April 2003 to the present, Mr. Benson has also been the General Counsel and a director of IDI.  Mr. Benson is President and a director of Xvariant, Inc., a public company.  Mr. Benson received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from the University of Utah in 1971 and a Juris Doctor Degree from the University of Utah College of Law in 1976.  Mr. Benson became a certified public accountant in 1974 and is currently an attorney licensed to practice in Utah.

James E. Solomon has been a director of ours since September 2005.  From 1995 to January 2002, Mr. Solomon was a business consultant primarily for emerging growth companies.  In January 2002, he formed Corporate Development Services, Inc., a business consulting firm, and has served as President since its formation.  From June 1993 to the present, Mr. Solomon has been an adjunct professor at the



35



Graduate School of Business at the University of Utah.  Mr. Solomon serves on the Board of Directors of Nevada Chemicals, Inc., a public company, as well as several privately-held companies. Mr. Solomon received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance from the University of Utah in 1972.  Mr. Solomon became a certified public accountant in 1974.

Kirby D. Cochran has been a director of ours since February 2006.  For the past five years, Mr. Cochran has been an angel investor and business consultant, assisting growth stage companies with their strategy and operations.  From May 1999 to May 2005, he taught graduate school as an adjunct professor in the Business and Finance Departments at the University of Utah.  Mr. Cochran holds a Masters in Business Administration Degree from North Dakota State University.

Our directors generally serve until the next annual or special meeting of shareholders held for the purpose of electing directors.  Our officers generally serve at the discretion of the board of directors.  One of our directors, Mr. Tiede, is an employee who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President.  The employment service of Mr. Tiede, Mr. Benson and one former officer is governed by the terms of their respective employment contracts.  See “Employment Contracts” in Item 11 below.

As noted above, several of our current and former executive officers and directors have served as officers and directors of BI since August 2000 and as officers and directors of IDI since April 2003.  During 2001 and 2002, BI entered into various licensing agreements with IDI and purchased shares of convertible preferred stock of IDI.  Management of BI determined that the CodecSys technology being developed by IDI represented a significant opportunity for BI and its future business prospects.  By April 2003, the financial condition of IDI had deteriorated significantly and BI provided a line of credit to IDI to sustain its operations.  At such time, BI also assumed operational control of IDI.  By October 2003, management of BI realized that IDI could not survive on its own notwithstanding the financial support provided by BI.  Accordingly, IDI filed for bankruptcy protection under chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code on October 23, 2003.  Over the next seven months, IDI continued its limited operations and designed a bankruptcy plan of reorganization which was confirmed on May 18, 2004.  Under the plan of reorganization, Broadcast International issued shares of our common stock to creditors of IDI and assumed certain liabilities of IDI in exchange for shares of the common stock of IDI representing majority ownership of IDI.  Since confirmation of the plan of reorganization, the operations of IDI have been consolidated with ours.  For additional information regarding the IDI bankruptcy, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

Board and Committee Matters

During 2006, the board of directors held six meetings and took three separate actions by unanimous written consent resolution.  Each serving director attended at least 75% of the board meetings.  The board of directors is accountable to our shareholders to build long-term financial performance and value.  The board of directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the business and affairs of our company, hiring and evaluating our chief executive officer; providing guidance, counsel and direction to management in formulating and evaluating operational strategies; monitoring our company’s performance and capital requirements; and ensuring adherence to ethical practices and compliance with federal and state laws, including providing full and fair disclosure to shareholders pursuant to SEC regulations.  We encourage, but do not require, directors and director nominees to attend shareholder meetings.  Three members of our board attended our special meeting of shareholders held in 2006.

We maintain an audit committee of the board and a compensation committee of the board, each of which is discussed below.  We have not established a nominating committee of the board.  Our entire board of directors participates in the selection and nomination of candidates to serve as directors.  Each of our current directors is “independent” under the definition of independence in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards, except for Mr. Tiede who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President.

When formulating its recommendations for director nominees, the board of directors will consider advice and recommendations offered by our executive officers, shareholders and outside advisors.  All candidates for membership on the board are evaluated on the basis of business experience, financial



36



acumen, professional accomplishments and contacts, educational background, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of our business environment and willingness to devote adequate time to board duties.

We do not have a formal policy concerning shareholder recommendations of candidates for board of director membership.  Our board views that such a formal policy is not necessary at the present time given the board’s willingness to consider candidates recommended by shareholders.  Shareholders may recommend candidates by writing to our Secretary at our principal offices: 7050 Union Park Avenue, Suite 600, Salt Lake City, Utah 84047, giving the candidate’s name, contact information, biographical data and qualifications.  A written statement from the candidate consenting to be named as a candidate and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director should accompany any such recommendation.  Shareholders who wish to nominate a director for election are generally advised to submit a shareholder proposal no later than December 31 for the next year’s annual meeting of shareholders.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert

Our audit committee was established in September 2005 and currently includes Messrs. Solomon and Cochran.  Mr. Solomon serves as chairman of the audit committee.  The functions of the audit committee include recommending an independent registered public accounting firm to audit our annual financial statements, reviewing the independence of our auditors, the financial statements and the auditors’ report, and reviewing management’s administration of our system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.  The board of directors has not yet adopted a written audit committee charter or similar document.  The audit committee met four times during 2006 with each serving committee member attending at least 75% of the meetings.  Each of the members of the audit committee is “independent” under the definition of independence in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards.  

Our board of directors has determined that James E. Solomon meets the requirements of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC regulations.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that incorporates by reference, in whole or in part, subsequent filings including, without limitation, this report; the following report of the audit committee of the board of directors, the report of the compensation committee of the board of directors and the performance graph set forth herein shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any such filings.

Report of the Audit Committee of the board of directors

March 23, 2007

To the Board of Directors of Broadcast International, Inc.:

We have reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements of Broadcast International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006.

We have discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.



37



We have received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, and have discussed with the independent accountants their independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommend to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SUBMITTED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:

James E. Solomon

Kirby D. Cochran

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee was established in October 2005 and currently includes Messrs. Cochran, Davidson and Solomon.  Mr. Cochran serves as chairman of the compensation committee.  The functions of the compensation committee include reviewing and approving corporate goals relevant to compensation for executive officers, evaluating the effectiveness of our compensation practices, evaluating and approving the compensation of our chief executive officer and other executives, recommending compensation for board members, and reviewing and making recommendations regarding incentive compensation and other employee benefit plans.  The board of directors has not yet adopted a written compensation committee charter or similar document.  The compensation committee met one time during 2006 with each serving committee member having attended the meeting.  Each of the members of the compensation committee is “independent” under the definition of independence in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards.

Communication with the Board

We have not, to date, developed a formal process for shareholder communications with the board of directors.  We believe our current informal process, in which any communication sent to the board of directors, either generally or in care of the chief executive officer, secretary or other corporate officer or director, is forwarded to all members of the board of directors, has served the board’s and the shareholders’ needs.

Conflict of Interest Policy

On an annual basis, each director and executive officer is obligated to complete a director and officer questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transactions with our company in which the director or executive officer, or any member of her or her immediate family, have a direct or indirect material interest.  Under our company’s standards of conduct for employees, all employees, including the executive officers, are expected to avoid conflicts of interest.  Pursuant to our code of ethics for the chief executive officer and senior finance officers (as discussed below), such officers are prohibited from engaging in any conflict of interest unless a specific exception has been granted by the board.  All of our directors are subject to general fiduciary standards to act in the best interests of our company and our shareholders.  Conflicts of interest involving an executive officer or a director are generally resolved by the board.


Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions.  A copy of the code of ethics was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Overview of Compensation Program

Throughout this annual report, the individuals who served as our chief executive officer and chief financial officer during 2006, as well as the other individual included in the summary compensation table, are collectively referred to as the “named executive officers.”

The compensation committee has overall responsibility to review and approve our compensation structure, policy and programs and to assess whether the compensation structure establishes appropriate incentives for management and employees.  The compensation committee annually reviews and determines the salary and any bonus and equity compensation that may be awarded to our chief executive officer, or CEO, and our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO.  The compensation committee oversees the administration of our long term incentive plan and employee benefit plans.

The compensation committee’s chairman regularly reports to the board on compensation committee actions and recommendations.  The compensation committee has authority to retain, at our expense, outside counsel, experts, compensation consultants and other advisors as needed.

2006 Company Performance.  Because of the stage of our company’s development, the compensation committee looks at various factors in evaluating the progress the company has made and the services provided by the named executive officers. In considering executive compensation, the compensation committee noted our financial performance and accomplishments in 2006.  Although we are still developing our CodecSys technology, revenues increased 142% from approximately $5,000,000 in 2005 to approximately $13,800,000 in 2006.  We secured new customer contracts that are expected to continue growth in 2007.  In addition, the executive officers were instrumental in bringing new investment capital to us to fund our ongoing operations.  Finally, we made substantial progress on the development of our technology, which is essential to our long term viability and profitability.

Compensation Philosophy. Our general compensation philosophy is designed to link an employee’s total cash compensation with our performance, the employee’s department goals and individual performance.  Given our stage of operations and limited capital resources, we are subject to various financial restraints in our compensation practices.  As an employee’s level of responsibility increases, there is a more significant level of variability and compensation at risk.  The compensation committee believes linking incentive compensation to our performance creates an environment in which our employees are stakeholders in our success and, thus, benefits all shareholders.

Executive Compensation Policy.  Our executive compensation policy is designed to establish an appropriate relationship between executive pay and our annual performance, our long-term growth objectives, individual performance of the executive officer and our ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers.  The compensation committee attempts to achieve these goals by integrating competitive annual base salaries with (a) bonuses based on corporate performance and on the achievement of specified performance objectives, and to a lesser extent, awards through our long term incentive plan, since the executive officers are founders and already large shareholders.  The compensation committee believes that cash compensation in the form of salary and bonus provides our executives with short-term rewards for success in operations.  

In making compensation decisions, the compensation committee compares each element of total compensation against companies referred to as the “compensation peer group.”  The compensation peer group is a group of companies that the compensation committee selected from readily available information about small companies engaged in similar businesses and with similar resources.  The compensation committee selected these companies from research on its own and without consultation with outside consultants or experts given the size of the company and its resources to retain such experts.



39



Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The compensation committee makes all compensation decisions for the actively-employed named executive officers and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to all of our elected officers. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other executive officers are made by the CEO.  The CEO annually reviews the performance of such other executive officers.  The conclusions reached and recommendations based on these reviews, including with respect to salary adjustments and annual award amounts, are presented to the compensation committee.  The compensation committee may exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended adjustments or awards to executives.

2006 Executive Compensation Components

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

·

base salary; and

·

performance-based bonus compensation.

Base Salary.  The compensation committee approved the 2006 base salary of the CEO and CFO.  In determining the base salary of each executive officer, the compensation committee relied on publicly available information gathered by the compensation committee related to salaries paid to executive officers of similarly situated small public companies.

Performance-based Incentive Compensation.  Annual incentives for the executive officers are intended to recognize and reward those employees who contribute meaningfully to an increase in shareholder value and move the company toward profitability.  For 2006, the CEO and CFO were not awarded bonus amounts.  The potential of bonuses was deferred until we are more financially secure, but the compensation committee will reserve the option to make such awards during the coming year if performance justifies such an award.  Actual bonuses payable will depend on the level of achievement of specified performance objectives established for each executive officer.  

Long-term Equity Incentive Compensation.  Long-term incentive compensation encourages participants to focus on our long-term performance and provides an opportunity for executive officers and certain designated key employees to increase their stake in our company through grants of options to purchase our common stock.  No stock options were granted during 2006 to any of the named executive officers.  The board did, however, make awards of stock options to other employees under our long term incentive plan.

All awards made under our long term incentive plan are made at the market price at the time of the award.  Annual awards of stock options to executives are made at the discretion of the compensation committee at such times throughout the year at it deems most desirable.  Newly hired or promoted executives, other than executive officers, generally receive their award of stock options on the first business day of the month following their hire or promotion.  Grants of stock options to newly hired executive officers who are eligible to receive them are made at the next regularly scheduled compensation committee meeting following their hire date.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits.  We provide no perquisites to our named executive officers other than matching 401(k) contributions described below and other group benefits offered generally to all salaried employees.

Retirement and Related Plans.  We maintain a 401(k) profit sharing plan for all non-temporary employees.  Employee contributions are matched by us in an amount of 100% of employee contributions up to 3% of employee salaries and 50% of employee contributions up to an additional 2% of their salaries. Participants vest immediately in the company matching contributions.  



40



Compensation of Chief Executive Officer. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we paid Rodney M. Tiede, CEO, a salary of $120,000.  He received no bonuses or other equity compensation.  The compensation committee met with Mr. Tiede once during 2006 to review his performance and individual objectives and goals versus results achieved.  The compensation committee reviewed all components of the CEO’s compensation, including salary, bonus, and equity incentive compensation, and under potential severance and change-in-control scenarios.  Mr. Tiede’s compensation package was determined to be reasonable and not excessive by the compensation committee based on compensation surveys for chief executive officers of small public companies.

Employment Contracts

In April 2004, we and Mr. Tiede entered into an employment agreement covering Mr. Tiede’s employment for a term commencing upon the execution thereof and continuing until December 31, 2006.  The contract continues for additional terms of one year each until terminated by us.  The agreement calls for payment of a gross annual salary of not less than $120,000, payable in equal bi-weekly installments for the year ended December 31, 2004, subject to such increases as the board of directors may approve.  The employment agreement further provides that Mr. Tiede shall receive a performance bonus on an annual basis equal to up to 100% of his base salary for the fiscal year then ended, the exact percentage to be determined in the sole discretion of the board of directors (or the compensation committee thereof) based upon an evaluation of the performance of Mr. Tiede during the previous fiscal year.  The agreement also provides for participation in our stock option plan, the payment of severance pay, and other standard benefits such as vacation, participation in our other benefit plans and reimbursement for necessary and reasonable business expenses.  In the event of a change in control of the company, defined as the purchase of shares of our capital stock enabling any person or persons to cast 20% or more of the votes entitled to be voted at any meeting to elect directors, Mr. Tiede shall have the right to terminate the employment agreement and receive severance pay equal to the base salary and a bonus equal to 50% of the salary for the remainder of the employment term or two years, whichever is longer.  In addition, if the change of control event results in our shareholders exchanging their shares for stock or other consideration, Mr. Tiede shall receive an amount equal to the per share price paid to the shareholders less the pre-announcement price multiplied by 50,000.

In April 2004, we and Mr. Turner entered into an employment agreement covering Mr. Turner’s employment for a term commencing upon the execution thereof and continuing until December 31, 2006.  The contract continues for additional terms of one year each until terminated by us.  The agreement calls for payment of a gross annual salary of not less than $100,000, payable in equal bi-weekly installments for the year ended December 31, 2004, subject to such increases as the board of directors may approve.  The employment agreement further provides that Mr. Turner shall receive a performance bonus on an annual basis equal to up to 100% of his base salary for the fiscal year then ended, the exact percentage to be determined in the sole discretion of the board of directors (or the compensation committee thereof) based upon an evaluation of the performance of Mr. Turner during the previous fiscal year.  The agreement also provides for participation in our stock option plan, the payment of severance pay, and other standard benefits such as vacation, participation in our other benefit plans and reimbursement for necessary and reasonable business expenses.  In the event of a change in control of the company, defined as the purchase of shares of our capital stock enabling any person or persons to cast 20% or more of the votes entitled to be voted at any meeting to elect directors, Mr. Turner shall have the right to terminate the employment agreement and receive severance pay equal to the base salary and a bonus equal to 50% of the salary for the remainder of the employment term or two years, whichever is longer.  In addition, if the change of control event results in our shareholders exchanging their shares for stock or other consideration, Mr. Turner shall receive an amount equal to the per share price paid to the shareholders less the pre-announcement price multiplied by 50,000.

In April 2004, we and Mr. Benson entered into an employment agreement covering Mr. Benson employment for a term commencing upon the execution thereof and continuing until December 31, 2006.  The contract continues for additional terms of one year each until terminated by us.  The agreement calls for payment of a gross annual salary of not less than $84,000, payable in equal bi-weekly installments for the year ended December 31, 2004, subject to such increases as the board of directors may approve.  



41



The employment agreement further provides that Mr. Benson shall receive a performance bonus on an annual basis equal to up to 100% of his base salary for the fiscal year then ended, the exact percentage to be determined in the sole discretion of the board of directors (or compensation committee thereof) based upon an evaluation of the performance of Mr. Benson during the previous fiscal year.  The agreement also provides for participation in our stock option plan, the payment of severance pay, and other standard benefits such as vacation, participation in our other benefit plans and reimbursement for necessary and reasonable business expenses.  In the event of a change in control of the company, defined as the purchase of shares of our capital stock enabling any person or persons to cast 20% or more of the votes entitled to be voted at any meeting to elect directors, Mr. Benson shall have the right to terminate the employment agreement and receive severance pay equal to the base salary and a bonus equal to 50% of the salary for the remainder of the employment term or two years, whichever is longer.  In addition, if the change of control event results in our shareholders exchanging their shares for stock or other consideration, Mr. Benson shall receive an amount equal to the per share price paid to the shareholders less the pre-announcement price multiplied by 50,000.

Stock Option Plan

Our long term incentive plan provides for the granting of stock options to employees, directors and consultants to acquire our common stock at prices equal to the stock price on the date of grant.  Under the plan, we may issue up to 6,000,000 shares of our common stock.  To date, options have been granted to acquire approximately 3,200,000 shares.

The purpose of the long term incentive plan is to advance the interests of our shareholders by enhancing our ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to us by providing them with both equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives intended to align their interests with those of our shareholders.  The plan is designed to provide us with flexibility to select from among various equity-based compensation methods, and to be able to address changing accounting and tax rules and corporate governance practices by optimally utilizing stock options and shares of our common stock.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL

The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to the named executives in the event of termination of employment. The amount of compensation payable to the executives upon voluntary termination, early retirement, involuntary not-for-cause termination, termination following a change of control and in the event of disability or death of the executive is shown below. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2006, and thus includes amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the executives upon their termination. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation.

Payments Made Upon Termination

Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s employment is terminated, he is entitled to receive amounts earned during his term of employment.  Such amounts include:

·

salary;

·

grants under our stock option plan, subject to the vesting and other terms applicable to such grants;

·

amounts contributed and vested under our 401(k) plan; and

·

unused vacation pay.

Payments Made Upon Death or Disability

In the event of the death or disability of a named executive officer, in addition to the benefits listed under the headings “Payments Made Upon Termination”, the named executive officers will receive benefits under any group life or disability insurance plan, as appropriate, we may have in effect from time to time.  We currently maintain a group term life insurance plan that generally pays a death benefit equal to two times base salary up to a maximum of $250,000.

Payments Made Upon a Change of Control

If there is a change of control, which is defined as the purchase of shares of capital stock of the Company enabling any person or persons to cast 20% or more of the votes entitled to be voted at any meeting to elect directors, the named executives may elect to terminate employment and would receive under the terms of their respective employment agreements:

·

a lump sum severance payment of the sum of base salary plus 50% thereof;

·

any bonus compensation earned, if any; and

·

If the change of control event results in the shareholders exchanging their shares for stock, the executive would receive an amount equal to the per share price paid to shareholders, less the pre-announcement share price, multiplied by 50,000.  For example and illustration purposes only, if the share price paid to shareholders were $3.00 and the pre-announcement share price were $1.50, each named executive officer would receive an amount equal to $75,000 under this provision.

In the event of a change in control as defined above, the named executive officers would receive a lump sum payment as follows: Mr. Tiede, $180,000; Mr. Benson, $126,000; and Mr. Turner, $150,000.



44



Non-compete Agreement

Included in each of the named executive officer’s employment agreement is a two year non-compete agreement.  

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We use a combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the board.  In setting director compensation, we consider the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties as well as the skill-level required by us of members of the board.

Our non-employee directors receive fees of $20,000 per year, paid quarterly, and an initial grant of stock options to purchase 75,000 shares (thereafter annual grants of 25,000 options) of the our common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  In addition, the Chairman of the Board received an additional initial grant of 25,000 options and an annual fee of $5,000. In addition to the standard director compensation mentioned above, the Chairman of both the Audit and Compensation Committees receives an annual fee of $5,000 for serving in such capacity.  Directors who are employees of Broadcast International receive no additional compensation for serving as directors. All stock options granted to outside Directors are immediately exercisable and expire ten years from the date of grant.  Directors are reimbursed for ordinary expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings.

of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share, the market price of the stock on the date of grant.  For financial statement reporting purposes, in accordance with FAS 123(R), the fair value of the option was determined to be $162,000.  All of the stock options granted to Messrs. Davidson and Cochran vested immediately and expire in ten years from the date of grant.  For information and assumptions related to the calculation of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes, see note 1 (stock compensation) of the notes to audited financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Our long-term incentive plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to our employees, directors and consultants.  The plan covers a total of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock.  As of December 31, 2006, options to purchase 229,460 shares of common stock had been exercised.  All awards must be granted at fair market value on the date of grant.  The plan is administered by our board of directors.  Awards may be vested on such schedules determined by the board of directors.  Other than the long-term incentive plan, we do not maintain any other equity compensation plan.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS,
AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

At the time we entered into the YLS transaction on August 15, 2006, Mr. Bruno Wu was not a member of our board of directors.  As part of the transaction, Mr. Wu became a director on August 24, 2006 and served on the board until termination of the YLS transaction.  Mr. Wu is an affiliate of YLS, Sun Media Investment Holding Ltd. and Sun New Media, Inc.  

As discussed above, on January 22, 2007, we terminated the YLS transaction effective as of December 31, 2006.  Pursuant to the terms of a termination and release agreement, (i) we cancelled the stock purchase agreement (including warrants and a registration rights agreement), stock exchange agreement and the IPTV platform technology license agreement; (ii) we returned the 1,515,544 shares of common stock of Sun New Media, Inc. and cancelled the 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issued to Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd. in exchange therefor; (iii) we amended the remaining flash based e-publishing reader technology license agreement which continues between us and YLS; (iv) we returned to YLS the $1,000,000 received by us, less $500,000 which we previously advanced to an entity affiliated with Bruno Wu, an affiliate of YLS; (v) Bruno Wu resigned as a member of our board of directors; and (vi) we cancelled all other shares of our common stock issued in connection with the YLS transaction, except for a total of 1,500,000 shares that YLS continues to hold as consideration for the continuing flash based e-publishing reader technology license agreement.

Applicable SEC rules require that we make certain disclosures regarding the independence of our directors pursuant to either the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market rules governing independent board members.  In determining whether our directors and director nominees are considered to be independent, we have adopted the definition of independence as contained in the listing standards



48



of the Nasdaq Stock Market.  As discussed above, the board has determined that all of our current directors are independent in accordance with such standards, except for Rodney M. Tiede who serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer.  Regarding those directors who served during a portion of the year ended December 31, 2006, the board determined that Ronald White was independent and that Bruno Wu was not independent in accordance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Broadcast International, Inc.
Salt Lake City, Utah

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Broadcast International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Broadcast International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s operating losses and lack of working capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BROADCAST INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Broadcast International, Inc. (the Company) is the consolidated parent company of BI Acquisitions, Inc. (BI), a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Interact Devices, Inc. (IDI), an 86% owned subsidiary.

BI was incorporated in Utah in December 1999 and began operations in January 2000.  BI provides satellite uplink services and related equipment services, communication networks, and video and audio production services primarily to large retailers, other businesses, and to a third-party provider of in-store music and video.

On October 1, 2003, the Company (formerly known as Laser Corporation) acquired BI by issuing shares its common stock representing 98% of the total equity ownership in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding BI common stock.  The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, or recapitalization of BI, with BI being treated as the accounting acquirer. Effective January 13, 2004, the company changed its name from Laser Corporation to Broadcast International, Inc.

On May 18, 2004, the Debtor-in-Possession’s Plan of Reorganization for IDI was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court. As a result of this confirmation, the Company issued to the creditors of IDI approximately 111,842 shares of the common stock of the Company. In exchange, the Company received approximately 50,127,218 shares of the common stock of IDI. Additionally, the Company had previously acquired convertible preferred stock which, if converted, equated to approximately 1,050,000 shares of the common stock of IDI. The transaction with IDI was accounted for as a purchase of IDI by the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company owned, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 51,177,218 common share equivalents, representing approximately 86%, of the equity of IDI.

The audited consolidated financial statements herein include the operations of BI from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2006, and the operations of IDI from May 18, 2004 to December 31, 2006. IDI produced losses from operations during the period May 18, 2004 to December 31, 2006; therefore, 100% of the results from operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all cash on hand and in banks, and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had bank balances in the excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.  



F-11



Trade Account Receivables

Trade account receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days. After the receivable becomes past due, it is on non-accrual status and accrual of interest is suspended.

Inventories

Inventories consisting of electrical and computer parts are stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property, generally from three to five years.  Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred except when such repairs significantly add to the useful life or productive capacity of the asset, in which case the repairs are capitalized.

Patents

Patents represent initial legal costs incurred to apply for United States and international patents on the CodecSys technology, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life of approximately 20 years.  We have filed several patents in the United States and foreign countries. As of December 31, 2006, four foreign countries had approved patent rights and we are in a “patent pending” status in the United States. While we are unsure whether we can develop the technology in order to obtain the full benefits, the patents themselves hold value and could be sold to those with more resources to complete the development. On-going legal expenses incurred for patent follow-up have been expensed from July 2005 forward.

Amortization expense recognized on all patents totaled $1,259 and $279 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense, if all patents were issued at the beginning of 2007, for each of the next five years is as follows:

Year ending

2007

2008

2009

2010

10,570

2011

Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets, including patents, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future un-discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, then the



F-12



impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.  Fair value is determined by using cash flow analyses and other market valuations.

Stock Compensation

Beginning on January 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based compensation   under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R), which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation. We have used the modified prospective application. Under the fair value recognition provisions for FAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards expected to vest and recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award.  We have used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value of our stock-based awards, which requires various judgmental assumptions including estimated stock price volatility, forfeiture rates, and expected life.  Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.  Financial statements for periods prior to 2006 have not been restated.  Had compensation cost for our stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in fiscal years 2005, and 2004 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, our approximate net loss and loss per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

For the year ended December 31, 2006 we recognized $937,436 as non-cash compensation expense with $203,798 and $733,638 recorded in our research and development and general and administrative departments, respectively, for granted options vesting during the period. Included is $538,300 resulting from 325,000 options granted to five outside directors, $331,640 for the vesting of unexercised options

issued prior to January 1, 2006, and, $41,446 (of a total of $51,808) for repriced options previously granted to executive management which is being recognized over the remaining vesting period, and $26,049 for repriced options previously granted to non-executive management employees. No common stock or options to purchase common stock were issued to employees for compensation during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Due to unexercised options and warrants outstanding at December 31, 2006, we will recognize a total of $637,549 of additional compensation expense over the next two years for employees and consultants as a result of the adoption of FAS 123R based upon vesting parameters as shown below:

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when evidence exists that there is an arrangement between us and our customers, delivery of equipment sold or service has occurred, the Company’s selling price to its customers is fixed and determinable with required documentation, and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize as deferred revenue, payments made in advance by customers for services not yet provided.

When we enter into a multi-year contract with a customer to provide installation, network management, satellite transponder and help desk, or combination of these services, we recognize this revenue as services are performed and as equipment is sold.  These agreements typically provide for additional fees, as needed, to be charged if on-site visits are required by the customer in order to ensure that each customer location is able to receive network communication. As these on-site visits are performed the associated revenue and cost are recognized in the period the work is completed. If we install, for an additional fee, new or replacement equipment to an immaterial number of new customer locations, and the equipment immediately becomes the property of the customer, the associated revenue and cost are recorded in the period in which the work is completed.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred.  We expensed $12,659,094, $812,581 and $2,323,843 of research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. In the normal course of business, we provide credit terms to our customers.



F-14



Accordingly, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations.

Our accounts receivable include three customers whose combined balances represent approximately 54%, 68% and 50% of trade receivables as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively and whose related sales revenues account for approximately 80%, 62%, and 53% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The three largest customers in 2006 are not the same as the three largest customers in 2005 and 2004; specifically during 2006 we lost one of our larger customers and gained a substantial new customer.

Included in the numbers above is our single largest customer for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, which provided 63% and 27% of total revenue and represented 38% and 52% of our accounts receivable on December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Any material reduction in revenues generated from any one of our largest customers could harm our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Loss per Common Share

The computation of basic loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year.

The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, plus the dilutive common stock equivalents that would rise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding during the year, using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Options and warrants to purchase 12,652,597, 8,122,747, and 6,415,650 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.02 to $45.90, $.02 to $45.90, and $.02 to $60.63 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As we experienced a net loss during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, no common stock equivalents have been included in the diluted earnings per common share calculation as the effect of such options would be anti-dilutive.

Common Stock Reverse Split

On January 13, 2004, we effected a 10:1 reverse stock split of its common stock. The financial statements reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred on January 1, 2004.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, notes receivables, payables, and notes payable.  The carrying amount of cash, receivables and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.  The aggregate carrying amount of the notes receivable and notes payable approximates fair value as the individual notes bear interest at market interest rates.

Advertising Expenses

We follow the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.  Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $28,127, $48,339,and $70,890, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.



F-15



Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statements in order for them to conform to the classifications used for the 2006 year.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated 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. We have incurred losses and have not demonstrated the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our liabilities and sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient income and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and to obtain additional financing as may be required. We are actively seeking options to obtain additional capital and financing. We have commenced a private placement of up to $4,500,000 of our common stock and as of December 31, 2006 we have raised $1,743,166 (see Note 9). There is no assurance we will be successful in our efforts. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Trade Accounts Receivable

Our trade accounts receivable are shown in the accompanying balance sheet net of its allowance for uncollectible accounts of $63,244 and $82,402 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Our accounts receivable include three customers whose combined balances represent approximately 54% and 68% of trade receivables as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and whose related sales revenues account for approximately 80% and 62%, of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The three largest customers in 2006 are not the same as the three largest customers in 2005; specifically during 2006 we lost one of our larger customers and gained a substantial new customer.

Included in the numbers for 2006 above is our single largest customer for the year ended December 31, 2006, which provided 63% and 27% of total revenue for; and represented 38% and 52% of our accounts receivable on December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We do not expect that our largest customer will purchase as much of our services in the coming year as in the past in part because our customer was acquired by one of its competitors.  Any material reduction in revenues generated from any one of our largest customers could harm our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Note 5 – Investment in Interact Devices, Inc (IDI)

We began investing in and advancing monies to IDI in 2001.  IDI was developing technology which CodecSys is being developed from.  The following describes the various transactions for its investment in IDI.

During 2001 and 2002, we entered into various licensing agreements with IDI to license its technology. In addition to these license agreements we purchased convertible preferred stock of IDI. On April 1, 2003, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Agreement”) with three of the co-founders of IDI to purchase shares of IDI owned by such co-founders. Amounts paid by us for such shares were capitalized as part of the Company’s investment in IDI.  Coincident to the Agreement, our President was granted the right to vote the remaining shares owned by the founders for a one year period, which resulted in us having the right to vote in excess of 60% of the voting stock of IDI.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the founders resigned as officers and members of the board of directors of IDI. Our management assumed



F-16



operational control of IDI and were appointed to the IDI Board.  To date, members of our management occupy 3 of the 5 IDI Board seats.

 On October 23, 2003, IDI filed for Chapter 11 Federal Bankruptcy protection. We desired that the underlying patent process proceed and that the development of CodecSys technology continue. Therefore, we participated in IDI’s plan of reorganization, whereby we would satisfy the debts of the creditors and obtain certain licensing rights, which had previously been sold to Streamware Solutions, AB by IDI. On May 18, 2004, the Debtor-in-Possession’s Plan of Reorganization for IDI was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court.

Since May 2004, we have advanced additional cash to IDI for the payment of operating expenses, which continues development of the CodecSys technology. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 we have advanced an aggregate amount of  $1,111,675, $704,404 and $246,482, respectively, pursuant to a promissory note that is secured by assets and technology of IDI.

Streamware Solutions AB

On February 6, 2004, IDI entered into a license agreement with Streamware Solutions AB (Streamware), a Swedish corporation, which was terminated in April 2006.  The license agreement provided Streamware certain rights to the IDI technology, including a 2-year exclusivity for certain companies located in Europe.

In association with the license agreement mentioned above, Streamware, or it’s shareholders, had the right pursuant to a stock purchase and option grant agreement to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock at a per share price of $2.00, on or before March 4, 2004. Of the 250,000 shares available, 187,500 shares were purchased at approximately 50% below market value, resulting in proceeds for us of $375,000 and a research and development in process expense of $375,000. We granted Streamware the right to purchase these shares in association with the rights to market the IDI technology to the non-exclusive customers located in Europe, which were previously unavailable due to the partner agreement. Additionally, we had granted Streamware shareholders a 2-year option to purchase an additional 1,312,500 shares of our common stock at a per share price of $4.50, at an expense of $2,054,944, which expired on February 6, 2006 and was not exercised.

Additionally, Streamware was issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a stock issuance and option grant agreement also dated February 6, 2004, which were valued at $6,000,000. We also issued to Streamware or its principals an additional 1,500,000 options to purchase our common shares at an exercise price of $4.50 per share, which expired on February 6, 2006 and was not exercised, associated with the agreements mentioned above at an expense of $1,798,075. These agreements were entered concurrently with IDI entering into the license agreement with Streamware. All expenses associated with Streamware and the IDI bankruptcy above were recorded as research and development in process, as part of the on-going development costs of the CodecSys technology.  The Company recorded the following related to the transactions with Streamware:

Assumption and Consolidation of IDI

On May 18, 2004, the debtor-in-possession’s plan of reorganization for IDI was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court. As a result of this confirmation, we issued to the creditors of IDI approximately 111,842 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at approximately $682,222, and assumed cash liabilities of approximately $312,768 to be paid over a 4-year period in exchange for approximately 50,127,218 shares of the common stock of IDI.

For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we have paid approximately $70,187, $70,187 and $67,114, respectively of the $312,768 original obligation. The accounts payable balance remaining as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately, $105,280, $175,467 and $245,654, of which $70,187 and has been recorded as the current portion with $35,093, $105,280 and $175,467, respectively as long-term debt.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded the following net amounts related to the acquisition of research and development in process from IDI from the assumption of liabilities and consolidation of IDI:

During the year ended December 31, 2005 six former debt holders of IDI retuned to us approximately 22,801 shares of our common stock which they had received as part of the debtor-in-possession’s plan of reorganization. We accounted for this as a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital.

IDI Co-Founders Settlement

On September 1, 2004, we entered into a settlement agreement with the co-founders of IDI related to a prior agreement entered into in 2003, in which we agreed to pay a total of $90,000, in cash, to the co-founders in four monthly payments of $22,500, beginning September 2004.  In exchange for such payment, the IDI co-founders agreed to terminate the prior agreement and return shares of IDI stock to IDI to satisfy certain obligations owed to IDI by such co-founders. The $90,000 expense is recorded in research and development in process.  Additionally, we granted the co-founders warrants to purchase 450,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $6.25 per share, immediately exercisable. We recognized an expense in research and development in process, of $1,121,502 using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model which brings the total expense to $1,211,502 for the co-founders settlement.

Summary

We have taken the position that the payment of cash, assumption of liabilities, issuance of stock and stock options in order to modify or terminate liability agreements, license rights and continued development of the CodecSys technology should be recorded as an expense because these transactions represent costs to terminate or alter license rights, acquire or continue development of an unproven technology.  Also, we believe that to record the transaction otherwise could be misleading to a reader of the financial statements through recording an intangible asset for an unproven technology. The current



F-18



status of the CodecSys technology is that there have been only few sales of the products embodying the technology.  There is a great deal of development that needs to be completed before any sales of the product can commence in a commercially sustainable fashion. With that in mind, we have taken the position that it is most proper to expense the above transactions as a research and development in process expense.  The summary of expenses related to IDI and Streamware recorded in the year ending December 31, 2004 follows:

Note 6 – Long Term Obligations

Unsecured Convertible Note

On September 29, 2006, we entered into a letter of understanding with Triage Capital Management, or Triage, dated September 25, 2006.  The letter of understanding provided that Triage loan $1,000,000 to us in exchange for us entering into, on or prior to October 30, 2006, a convertible note securities agreement.  It was intended that the funding provided by Triage be replaced by a convertible note and accompanying warrants, as described below.  Effective November 2, 2006 we entered into Securities Purchase Agreement, a 5% Convertible Note, a Registration Rights Agreement, and four classes of warrants to purchase our common stock, all of which were with Mr. Leon Frenkel, the controlling owner of Triage who caused our agreement with Triage to be assigned to him, which satisfied our agreement with Triage.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we sold to Frenkel a three-year convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 representing the funding received by us on September 29, 2006; (ii) the convertible note bears an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semi-annually in cash or shares of our common stock; (iii) the convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share; and (iv) we issued to Frenkel four classes of warrants (A Warrants, B Warrants, C Warrants and D Warrants), which give Frenkel the right to purchase a total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock as described below.  The A and B Warrants expire one year after the effective date of a contemplated registration statement to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register the subsequent sale of shares received from exercise of the A and B Warrants. The C Warrants and D Warrants expire eighteen months and twenty four months, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement.  The A Warrants grant Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, the B Warrants grant Frenkel the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, the C Warrants grant Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share, and the D Warrants grant Frenkel the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

As of December 31, 2006, we recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $3,270,800 and a derivative valuation loss of $2,270,800 to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivate liability since October 28, 2006.  The aggregate derivative liability of $3,270,800 included $373,300 for the conversion feature and $2,897,500 for the warrants.  These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk−free interest rate between 4.74% and 5.00%, (ii) expected life (in years) of 2.79 for the conversion feature and between 1.03 and 4.83 for the warrants; (iii) expected volatility of 82.72%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $1.17.

The principal value of $1,000,000 of the unsecured convertible note is being accreted over the term of the obligation, for which $59,140 was included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006.



F-19



The note bears a 5% annual interest rate payable semi annually, and for the year ended December 31, 2006, $8,751 was included in interest expense.

Senior Secured Convertible Note

On May 16, 2005, we consummated a private placement of $3,000,000 principal amount of 6% senior secured convertible notes and related securities, including common stock warrants and additional investment rights, to four institutional funds.  The senior secured convertible notes are due May 16, 2008 and were originally convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per share.  On March 16, 2006 we entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement (discussed below), which adjusted the conversion rate to $1.50 per share. The private placement transaction may ultimately result in gross proceeds to us of up to $13,800,000 if the additional investment rights and warrants to purchase common stock are exercised in full.  The warrants and the embedded conversion feature of the senior secured convertible notes have been accounted for as derivatives pursuant to EITF 00-19 and SFAS No. 133.

We issued to the note holders a total of 600,000 A warrants and 600,000 B warrants to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $2.50 and $4.00, respectively.  The $2.50 conversion price of the senior secured convertible notes and the $2.50 and $4.00 exercise price of the A Warrants and the B Warrants, respectively, are subject to adjustment pursuant to standard anti-dilution rights. On March 16, 2006 we entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement (discussed below), which adjusted the exercise price of both the A and B warrants to $2.00 per share.  These rights include (i) equitable adjustments in the event the Company effects a stock split, dividend, combination, reclassification or similar transaction; (ii) “weighted average” price protection adjustments in the event we issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than the then current market price of the common stock; and (iii) “full ratchet” price protection adjustments in the event we issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in certain transactions at a price less than $1.50 per share. In no event, however, will the conversion price or exercise price be adjusted below $0.50 per share for the reset provision.

The conversion feature and the prepayment provision of the notes were accounted for as embedded derivatives and valued on the transaction date using a Black-Scholes pricing model.  The warrants were accounted for as derivatives and were valued on the transaction date using a Black-Scholes pricing model as well.  At the end of each quarterly reporting date, the values of the  derivatives are evaluated and adjusted to current fair value.  The note conversion feature and the warrants may be exercised at any time and, therefore, have been reported as current liabilities.  The prepayment provision may not be exercised by us until May 16, 2007, and then only in certain limited circumstances.  For all periods since the issuance of the senior secured convertible notes, the derivative value of the prepayment provision has been nominal and has not had any offsetting effect on the valuation of the conversion feature of the notes, but we successfully satisfied that obligation.

The senior secured convertible notes required that we secure an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days from May 16, 2005 (September 13, 2005). Section 4(a) of the senior secured convertible notes enumerates circumstances that are considered an event of default. The remedies for default provide that if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the holders may declare all of the then outstanding principal amount of the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be immediately due and payable in cash.  In the event of an acceleration, the amount due and owing to the holders is 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes and interest on such amount is calculated using the default rate of 18% per annum if the full amount is not paid within one business day after acceleration.  We were in default under Section 4(a)(viii), related to the effective date of our registration statement, beginning October 13, 2005 until February 3, 2006, at which time the event of default was cured and is no longer continuing.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we recorded $66,000 and $218,000, respectively, as additional interest expense for this default.

On March 16, 2006, we entered into a waiver and amendment agreement with the four institutional funds regarding our default under the forbearance agreement.  Under the terms of the waiver, the institutional



F-20



funds terminated the forbearance agreement and waived any and all defaults under the senior secured convertible notes and related transaction agreements.  In consideration of the waiver, we and the funds agreed to amend the transaction agreements as follows: (i) Section 3.12 of the securities purchase agreement was deleted, which provision gave the funds a preemptive right to acquire any new securities issued by us; (ii) Section 3.15(c) of the securities purchase agreement was deleted, which provision prohibited us from completing a private equity or equity-linked financing; (iii) the conversion price, at which the notes are convertible into common shares of the Company, was amended to be $1.50 instead of $2.50; (iv) the exercise price, at which all warrants (A warrants and B warrants) held by the funds are exercisable, was changed to $2.00 (which exercise price was subsequently reduced to $1.50 due to applicable antidilution provisions); and (v) the notes were amended by adding a new event of default, which is that if we fail to raise and receive at least $3,000,000 in cash net proceeds through one or more private or public placements of its securities by September 30, 2006, we would have been in default under the notes

On April 21, 2006, two of the institutional funds converted an aggregate of $500,000 of their convertible notes into 333,334 shares of our common stock. Upon completion of this conversion, the principal amount of the senior secured convertible notes was reduced from $3,000,000 to $2,500,000.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we recorded an aggregate derivative liability of $1,360,700 and $3,012,000 and a derivative valuation gain of $1,004,500 and a valuation loss of $12,000 to reflect the change in value of the aggregate derivate liability since December 31, 2005 and May 16, 2005, respectively.  The aggregate derivative liability of $1,360,700 included $616,700 for the conversion feature and $744,000 for the warrants.  These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk-free interest rate of 5% for conversion feature and 4.78% for warrants; (ii) expected life (in years) of 1.38 for the conversion feature and 3.38 for the warrants; (iii) expected volatility of 82.72%; (iv) expected dividend yield of 0.00%; and (v) stock trading price of $1.17.

The principal value of $2,500,000 of the senior secured convertible notes are being accreted over the term of the obligations, for which $888,892 and $624,998 was included in interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The notes bear a 6% annual interest rate payable semi annually, and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, $159,083 and $112,500, respectively were included in interest expense.

Convertible Line of Credit Promissory Note

On December 23, 2003, we entered into a convertible line of credit for up to $1,000,000 with Meridel LTD and Pascoe Holdings LTD, both foreign corporations. We could obtain advances as needed to fund operating expenses. On June 30, 2004, the line of credit was amended to increase the limit from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 with the original due date of the line of credit extended from March 31, 2005 to April 1, 2006. Any portion of the note under the line of credit is convertible at the lenders’ sole discretion, for common shares of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company borrowed $1,095,110 and $99,980, respectively, making the aggregate amount borrowed at December 31, 2004, $1,195,090.  On September 30, 2004, the lenders exercised their conversion rights and converted a total of $800,000 ($400,000 each) of the $1,195,090 into 800,000 shares of common stock. The remaining balance of the note at December 31, 2004 was $395,090.

During the year ended December 31, 2005 we borrowed $449,876 and on December 30, 2005 the lenders exercised their conversion rights and converted the aggregate total of the note of $844,966 ($422,483 each) into 844,966 shares of common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2005 all amounts borrowed pursuant to the convertible line of credit have been converted to common stock.

The note bore an annual interest rate of 6%, however, accrued interest was forgiven upon conversion pursuant to the terms of the line of credit. During the year ending December 31, 2005 we recorded $68,547 as gain on early extinguishment of debt in other income and $4,832 for the beneficial conversion feature as an increase in interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded



F-21



$1,095,110 as a convertible beneficial conversion feature associated with the advances made under the line of credit. This amount was included in interest expense.

IDI Bankruptcy Settlement

On May 18, 2004, the plan of reorganization for IDI was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court. As a part of this confirmation, we assumed liabilities to be paid in cash of approximately $312,768. The approximately $682,222 of liabilities to be paid in stock was paid prior to December 31, 2004. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we have paid approximately $70,187, $70,187 and $67,114, respectively of the $312,768 original obligation. The balance remaining as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately, $105,280, $175,467 and $245,654, of which $70,187 and has been recorded as the current portion with $35,093, $105,280 and $175,467, respectively as long-term debt. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 5 – Investment in Interact Devices, Inc.

Note 7 – Operating Leases

Our executive offices are located at 7050 Union Park Avenue, Suite 600, Salt Lake City, Utah 84047.  We occupy the space at the executive offices under an 18-month lease, the term of which ends October 31, 2007.  The lease covers approximately 13,880 square feet of office space leased at a rate of $24,108 per month.  Our production studio is located at 6952 South 185 West, Unit C, Salt Lake City, Utah 84047, and consists of approximately 15,200 square feet of space leased under a multi-year contract at a rate of $8,797 per month.  The studio lease expires on November 30, 2008.  We had entered into a lease for 1,630 square feet of office space located at 160 Blue Ravine, in Folsom, California 95630, which expired on December 31, 2006. This space has been used for the development of our CodecSys technology.  We continue to occupy this space on a month-to-month basis at a rate of $2,600 per month. To the extent we continue the development program in California, and are required to relocate, we do not anticipate any problem with obtaining suitable space. The Company has no other properties. The Company recognized rent expense of approximately $456,300, $446,600, and $414,400 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

We also lease copy machines on a multi-year lease that expires on February 25, 2007 at a minimum rate of $1,037 per month.

We have net operating loss carry forwards for tax purposes of approximately $26,000,000 at December 31, 2006 available to offset future taxable income, which begin to expire in 2006.  Should a change of more than 50 percent in our ownership occur, any future benefits from such carry forwards might be substantially lost.  During the year ended December 31, 2003, we had a change of over 50% ownership due to the reverse acquisition of Laser Corporation. Therefore, net operating losses of approximately $2,253,000 were excluded from future use and are excluded from the $26,000,000 noted above.  At December 31, 2006, a valuation allowance has been established for the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realization.

Note 9 – Preferred and Common Stock

We have authorized two classes of stock, preferred stock with no par value and common stock with a $0.05 par value. No preferred stock has been issued, while 26,953,262 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2006. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared and are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders.

During the period 2000 through 2004, we sold an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of common stock to a British Virgin Islands corporation.  On January 31, 2002, we amended a purchase agreement with this corporation which required us to create a bonus pool of $600,000 payable to employee/shareholders at our discretion.  As of December 31, 2006, no amounts have been paid from this bonus pool nor are any expected to be paid in the next twelve months. Accordingly, the $600,000 obligation has been reflected as long-term deferred bonus payable in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On October 16, 2006, we held a special meeting of our shareholders.  At the meeting we approved and adopted an amendment to our authorized capital that increased our authorized common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 180,000,000 shares and our authorized preferred stock from 10,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares.

Private Placement Memoranda

On February 27, 2006, the board of directors approved a Private Placement Offering in anticipation of raising up to $4,500,000 by selling 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share. Additionally, the holder of each share shall receive a warrant to acquire one share of our common stock.  The warrants have a three-year exercise period and are exercisable at a $2.00 exercise price.  As of December 31, 2006 we have raised proceeds of $1,743,166 from the sale of 1,162,110 shares of stock.

At different times during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we entered into various private placement transactions with qualified investors pursuant to which we sold 41,666 and 155,807 shares of common stock resulting in $124,980 and  $489,920 in proceeds, respectively.  In each of the transactions, each purchased share included an attached warrant to acquire one share of our common stock within one year at a purchase price of $.50 per share greater than the subscription price of the share purchased. We intend to seek additional funding on similar or even unrelated terms and conditions.

Note 10 – Stock Option Plan

We have adopted a stock option plan available to its employees. Options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company are granted at a price not less than 100% of the estimated market price on the date granted. Options generally may not be exercised until twelve months after the date granted and expire ten years after being granted except to stockholders who own greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company, for whom options expire 5 years after being granted. Options granted generally vest on a three-year vesting schedule, after the first year vesting at the rate of one-third each year. Should an employee terminate before the vesting period is completed, the unvested portion of each grant is forfeited. The information presented is shown as though the 10:1 reverse split of January 13, 2004 had been completed at January 1, 2004. The following table summarizes option and warrant activity during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Note 11 – Retirement Plan

We have implemented a 401(k) employee retirement plan. Under the terms of the plan, participants may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation, generally up to 60%, to the plan. We match contributions up to 100% of the first 3% of participant’s compensation contributed to the plan and 50% of the next 2%. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan after three months of service as defined by the plan. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we made matching contributions totaling $77,379, $65,209, and $68,543, respectively.

Note 12 – First Securities ASA

We entered into an engagement agreement dated October 11, 2005 with First Securities ASA, a leading Norwegian investment-banking firm, to provide investment-banking services regarding a potential initial public offering of common stock of the Company on the Oslo Stock Exchange.  The agreement contemplated, among other things, that we would raise between $10 and $25 million by the end of the first quarter of 2006, subject to development of our revenues and profitability, market conditions in general, acceptance for listing by the Oslo Stock Exchange and the interest for our shares in the capital markets.  We paid a retainer of $200,000 to First Securities and have incurred $222,951 of additional expenses. All expenses have been included in general and administrative expense. We have not been able to secure any funding through First Securities and have ceased efforts to do so.

Note 13 – Video Processing Technologies Inc. Acquisition

On January 27, 2006 we acquired 100% of the common stock of Video Processing Technologies Inc. (VPTI) in exchange for an aggregate of 994,063 shares of our common stock.  VPTI had no revenues in 2005 or 2006 prior to the acquisition. Prior to this acquisition, VPTI had entered into a license agreement with the University of California, San Diego, related to certain patent pending technology which management of Company anticipated incorporating into the CodecSys technology. In this transaction, we recognized $1,363,126 as non-cash research and development in process expense. On December 31, 2006 management conducted a recoverability evaluation of the technology and recorded a $100,000 non-cash expense as impairment of technology licenses.

The following pro forma condensed combined balance sheets have been prepared using the historical financial statements of Broadcast International, Inc. (audited) and Video Processing Technologies, Inc. (unaudited). VPTI was formed on December 12, 2005 and had no revenues or expenses in 2006 prior to the acquisition and therefore, no pro forma combined statement of operations are presented.

Note 14 – Sun New Media and Yang Lan Studio Agreements

On August 15, 2006, we entered into various material agreements with certain foreign corporations related to the acquisition of investment capital and licensing of technology.  These agreements are identified and summarized below, all of which were simultaneously closed on August 15, 2006.

i) We entered into a stock exchange agreement with Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd., or Sun Media, a British Virgin Islands corporation dated August 15, 2006, pursuant to which we issued 3,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Sun Media in exchange for 1,515,544 restricted shares of common stock of Sun New Media, Inc., a Minnesota corporation traded on the OTCBB.  The stock exchange agreement also contains a covenant on our part to cause the appointment of Mr. Bruno Wu to our board of directors. Mr. Wu is a principal and controlling shareholder of Sun Media and the Chairman of the Board of Sun New Media, Inc. We and Sun Media have each agreed, pursuant to lock up agreements executed as part of the transaction, not to sell the shares of stock received in the transaction before January 1, 2008.

ii) We entered into a technology license agreement with Yang Lan Studio Ltd., or YLS, a Hong Kong corporation, dated August 15, 2006, pursuant to which we received a fully paid, perpetual, non-exclusive, world wide license to use and distribute certain flash based e-publishing reader technology.  In exchange for the license, we issued 4,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to YLS.

iii) We entered into a technology license agreement with Broadvision Global, Ltd., or BGL, a British Virgin Islands corporation dated August 15, 2006, pursuant to which we received a fully paid, perpetual, exclusive, world wide license (except for PR China) to use and distribute certain IPTV platform technology developed and licensed to BGL by Beijing Broadvision Information Technologies, Ltd., or BBIT. In exchange for the license, we issued an aggregate of 2,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock, including 1,000,000 shares to each of YLS and BBIT.

iv) We entered into a stock purchase agreement with YLS, dated August 15, 2006, providing for the sale of 666,667 restricted shares of our common stock to YLS at a purchase price of $1.50 per share for a



F-26



total consideration of $1,000,000.  Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, we also issued warrants to YLS, including four classes of warrants (A warrants, B warrants, C warrants and D warrants), which give YLS the right to purchase an additional 5,500,000 shares of our common stock as described below. The A warrants and B warrants expire one year after the effective date of a registration statement to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register the subsequent sale of shares received from exercise of the A warrants and B warrants. The C warrants and D warrants expire eighteen months and twenty-four months, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement. The A warrants grant YLS the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, the B warrants grant YLS the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, the C warrants grant YLS the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share, and the D warrants grant YLS the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

For accounting purposes, we treated the sale of stock and warrants to YLS as an equity transaction.  The warrants were subject to a registration rights agreement that required us to register the stock and warrants and maintain an effective registration statement as long as the warrants remained unexercised and outstanding. We considered the effects of EITF 00-19 and concluded that, although the registration rights agreement could require liability treatment for the warrants issued, the fact that we have been able to complete two registrations with the Securities and Exchange Commission and currently have one registration that is being maintained effective, renders any potential liability derived from the registration obligation remote. We therefore believed that equity treatment of the transaction was proper.

On January 22, 2007, the Company and the foreign corporations agreed pursuant to a Termination and Release Agreement (“Termination Agreement”) effective December 31, 2006 to terminate all except one of the above described agreements and to amend the remaining agreement.

The following summarizes the principal terms of the transaction:

Stock Purchase Agreement.  The Stock Purchase Agreement between us and Yang Lan Studio Ltd. was terminated.  The Termination Agreement provided for the cancellation of 666,667 shares of our common stock originally issued to YLS under the Stock Purchase Agreement and we paid to YLS the sum of $500,000 in cash and assigned our rights to YLS under a Memorandum of Understanding with Validian, Inc. (pursuant to which we had previously advanced $500,000 to Validian).  In addition, A, B, C and D Warrants granting to YLS the right to acquire up to 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.60 per share to $3.00 per share were all cancelled.

Stock Exchange Agreement.  The Stock Exchange Agreement with Sun Media Investment Holdings, Ltd., was cancelled.  The Termination Agreement provides for Sun Media to return to us 3,000,000 shares of our common stock and us to Sun Media 1,515,544 shares of Sun New Media, Inc. common stock.

Broadvision License.  The Technology License between us and Broadvision Global, Ltd., was cancelled.  The Termination Agreement provides that Beijing Broadvision, Inc. will surrender to us 1,000,000 shares of our common stock and that it will be cancelled.  The remaining 1,000,000 shares of our common stock originally issued in consideration of this license shall remain outstanding, but shall be deemed to be consideration for the E-Publishing License as described below.

E-Publishing License.  The Technology License Agreement with YLS shall be amended to provide that the license is to be non-exclusive and that 3,500,000 shares of the 4,000,000 shares of our common stock originally issued in consideration of this license shall be surrendered to us for cancellation.

In the Termination Agreement, Dr. Bruno Wu resigned as a member of the Board of Directors.

Note 16 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.”  SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.”  SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and, amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.  SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after December 31, 2006.  We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 155.  

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109)” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier adoption encouraged. This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this interpretation.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 addresses how companies should measure the fair value of assets and liabilities when fair value recognition or disclosure is required. Additionally, SFAS 157 formally defines fair value as the amount that the company would receive if it sold an asset or transferred a liability



F-30



to another company operating in the same market. The guidance of SFAS 157 must be applied to the first reporting period beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On September 13, 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin, No.108, (“SAB 108”) which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. Early application of the guidance is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of SAB 108. SAB 108 is required for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We do not believe that the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 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, among other items, (1) that a company recognize the funding status of its defined benefit pension plan as an asset or liability on its balance sheet, (2) recognize in other comprehensive income gains and losses, net of tax, and prior service costs or credits that are not recognized in the current period, and (3) measure benefit plan assets and liabilities as of the company's balance sheet date. The guidance of SFAS 158 must be applied to the first reporting period ending after December 31, 2006. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 158.
