XETA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2007
(Unaudited except where noted)

1.                                       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

XETA Technologies, Inc. (“XETA” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of communications solutions with sales and service locations nationwide, serving business clients in sales, engineering, project management, installation, and service support.  The Company sells products which are manufactured by a variety of manufacturers including Avaya, Inc. (“Avaya”), Nortel Networks Corporation (“Nortel”), and Spectralink Corporation.  In addition, the Company manufactures and markets a line of proprietary call accounting systems to the hospitality industry.  XETA is an Oklahoma corporation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto made a part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Commission File No. 0-16231, which was filed with the Commission on January 16, 2007.  Management believes that the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.  Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to current year presentations.  These reclassifications had no impact on net income.

Segment Information

The Company has three reportable segments:  commercial system sales, lodging system sales, and installation and service.  The Company defines commercial system sales as sales to the non-lodging industry.  Installation and service revenues represent revenues earned from installing and maintaining systems for customers in both the commercial and lodging segments.

The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements and described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Form 10-K described above.  Company management evaluates a segment’s performance based upon gross margins.  Assets are not allocated to the segments.  Sales to customers located outside of the U.S. are immaterial.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”).  SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognize compensation cost in its financial statements.  The valuation provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding at the effective date and subsequently modified or cancelled.  The Company adopted on a prospective basis SFAS 123(R) beginning November 1, 2005 for stock-based compensation awards granted after that date and for unvested awards outstanding at that date using the modified prospective application method.  The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as selling, general and administrative expense as appropriate in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  We recognized compensation expense of $23,935 and $0 in operating expenses in the statement of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to current year presentations.  These reclassifications had no impact on net income.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, to clarify certain aspects of accounting for uncertain tax position, including issues related to the recognition and measurement of those tax positions. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and therefore will apply beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of this interpretation.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”).  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value

measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities”.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that adopting this standard may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

6.                                       CREDIT AGREEMENTS:

The Company’s credit facility consists of a revolving credit and term loan agreement with a commercial bank including a mortgage agreement maturing on September 30, 2009 and amortizing based on a13 year life and a $7.5 million revolving credit agreement to finance growth in working capital.  The revolving line of credit is collateralized by trade accounts receivable and inventories.  At January 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $745 thousand and $3.119 million, respectively, outstanding on the revolving line of credit.  The Company had approximately $6.8 million available under the revolving line of credit at January 31, 2007.  Advance rates are defined in the agreement, but are generally at the rate of 80% on qualified trade accounts receivable and 40% of qualified inventories.  The revolving line of credit matures on September 28, 2007.  Long-term debt consisted of the following:

Interest on all outstanding debt under the credit facility accrues at either a) the London Interbank Offered Rate (which was 5.32% at January 31, 2007) plus 1.25% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s funded debt to cash flow ratio, or b) the bank’s prime rate (which was 8.25% at January 31, 2007) minus 0% to minus 1.125% also depending on the Company’s funded debt to cash flow ratio.  At January 31, 2007, the Company was paying 7.875% on the revolving line of credit borrowings and 7.072% on the mortgage note.  The credit facility contains several financial covenants common in such agreements, including tangible net worth requirements, limitations on the amount of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, limitations on capital spending, and debt service coverage requirements.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at January 31, 2007.

7.                                       EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Overview

Strategy.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we continued to build on last year’s success in our Managed Services business, particularly in the commercial sector of this business.  This sector represents recurring contract maintenance fees and time and materials revenues, implementation fees, and cabling revenues earned from commercial customers.  These revenues grew 94% in the first quarter compared to last year.  One of our primary strategies in fiscal 2007 is to continue to expand our commercial Managed Services business, particularly the recurring portion of this business through our wholesale and retail service offerings.  This initiative is integral to our long-term strategy to reduce our financial dependence on systems sales in favor of more predictable, recurring services revenues.

Additionally, we have improved the alignment of our sales organization with our two major systems manufacturers, Avaya and Nortel.  We now have sales teams focused on each product line with an experienced sales executive leading each team.  As a result of this realignment and increased sales management talent, we believe we can increase the sales of our systems in fiscal 2007 compared to previous years.  Our first quarter systems sales increased 23% compared to the prior year.  This increase was due to the favorable timing of shipments and weak systems sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Operating Summary.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, our revenues were $16.1 million, a 27% increase over the first quarter of fiscal 2006.  This increase consisted of increases in systems sales of $1.3 million or 23% and increases in service revenues of $2.4 million or 37%.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other revenues of $316,000 or 56%.  Our operating results in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were net income of $170,000 compared to a net loss of $141,000 in the first quarter last year.  These items are discussed in more detail under “Results of Operations” below.

Financial Position Summary.  Our financial condition improved during the first quarter.  We generated positive cash flows from operations of $2.9 million in the quarter and used that cash primarily to reduce the borrowings on our working capital revolver by $2.4 million or over 76%.  These and other financial position items are discussed in more detail under “Financial Condition” below.

The following discussion presents additional information regarding our financial condition and results of operations for the three-month periods ending January 31, 2007 and 2006 and should be read in conjunction with our comments above as well as the “Risk Factors” section below.

Financial Condition

Cash provided by operations for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $2.9 million, consisting primarily of net income and non-cash charges of $483,000 and a reduction in accounts receivable of $2.3 million.  Other changes in working capital items netted to an increase in cash of $169,000.  We used these cash flows to reduce our borrowings on our working capital line of credit by $2.4 million, reduce our mortgage balance by $43,000, and to fund capital expenditures of $274,000.  Non-cash charges included depreciation expense of $123,000, amortization expense of $140,000, stock-based compensation expense of $24,000, and a provision for obsolete inventory of $25,000.

At January 31, 2007 our total borrowings were $2.4 million consisting of a mortgage on our headquarters building of $1.7 million and $700,000 due on our revolving line of credit.  At January 31, 2007 there was $6.8 million available under the revolver to meet working capital needs.

In October, 2006 we announced that our board of directors had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to utilize up to $960,000 per year to repurchase our common stock in open market, block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions and at prices we deem appropriate.  These repurchases would be funded from cash flows previously dedicated to reduction of term debt stemming from our acquisitions made between November 1999 and November 2000.  This term debt was retired in September, 2006.  To date, no stock repurchases have been made under the program.

The table below presents our contractual obligations at January 31, 2007 as well as payment obligations over the next five years:

Results of Operations

For the first quarter of fiscal 2007 we earned net income of $170,000 on revenues of $16.1 million compared to a net loss of $141,000 on revenues of $12.7 million in the first quarter of last year.  The narrative below provides further explanation of these results.

Systems Sales.  Systems sales were $7.0 million compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, a 23% increase.  This increase consisted of an increase in sales of systems to commercial customers of $1.1 million or 25%, and an increase in sales of systems to lodging customers of $262,000 or 17%.  As discussed above, these increases are primarily due to the favorable timing of equipment shipments and unusually low prior year comparisons.  Historically, our systems sales in the first half of our fiscal year are weaker than the second half.  We expect this trend to continue and also expect that our first half systems sales in fiscal 2007 will come into balance with last year’s results which included especially strong second quarter systems sales.

Managed Services Revenues.  Managed Services revenues consist of the following:

Managed services revenues increased 37% for the quarter ending January 31, 2007 compared to the same period last year.  Most of this growth came from the acquisition of new commercial customers adopting our Managed Services offerings.  As a result, recurring contract and T&M revenues earned from commercial customers increased 72% in the first quarter compared to last year.  We have both a wholesale and retail Managed Services offering to our commercial Managed Services customers.  Our wholesale offering is currently the primary driver of our revenue growth and represents relationships with network providers, manufacturers and systems integrators in which we function as a subcontractor, usually providing field services resources.  Under our retail strategy, we contract and serve end-users directly.

Implementation services revenues increased 102% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the prior year.  Generally, our implementation services revenues, which include revenues earned from both installation and professional services activities, are expected to average from 18% to 20% of systems sales revenues over the course of an entire year.  However, this percentage can vary widely on individual projects due to vast differences in the complexity of implementations and the software applications purchased by the customer.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, implementation revenues were 30% of systems sales compared to 18% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 primarily reflecting disproportionately higher professional services fees earned on one large installation.

Cabling revenues increased 68% in the first quarter compared to last year.  This increase reflects our emphasis on this growing market.  We believe this portion of our Managed Services business will improve over time, but is not yet a predictable revenue stream.

Gross Margins.  The table below presents the gross margins earned on our primary revenue streams:

The gross margins on systems sales in the first quarter were within our range of expectations.  The gross margins earned in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 were on the high end of our range of expectations.  There is constant pricing pressure on the equipment we sell as the hardware portion of the sale becomes increasingly commoditized.  We expect this pressure to continue and possibly accelerate.  To offset these factors, we emphasize our in-house installation expertise, nationwide geographic presence, and after-installation care to focus customers on the value of purchasing systems from us.  Additionally, we work closely with our distributors and manufacturers to maximize their pricing support.  Our desire to maintain the gross margins at their historical levels may impact our revenue volumes and may limit our ability to increase our revenues.

The improvement in the gross margins earned on Managed Services revenues in the first quarter came primarily from the increases in revenues from the commercial sector of this business.  As the contract and T&M revenues earned from commercial customers began to grow during fiscal 2006, our gross margins on overall Managed Services revenues improved dramatically as we were able to absorb the extra costs we incurred to build our Nortel capability.  As discussed above, this portion of our business is an important growth driver, as it represents the greatest opportunity for revenue growth while at the same time improving overall gross margins.  Gross margins earned on implementation activities improved in the first quarter compared to last year, but continued to be lower than our expectations.  We believe we can increase the gross margins earned on implementation revenues through increased utilization of our internal resources for  installations and through partnering with manufacturers and systems integrators to generate incremental revenues not associated with our own systems sales.

A final component to our gross margins is the margins earned on other revenues and our corporate cost of goods sold.  A portion of our other revenues typically represent sales and cost of goods sold on equipment or services outside our normal provisioning processes and by their nature vary significantly in both sales volume and gross margins earned.  Another segment of other revenues represents the sale of Avaya maintenance contracts for which we earn either a gross profit or commission from Avaya.  We have no continuing service obligation associated with these revenues and gross profits.  The decline in the gross margin on other revenues primarily reflects a decline in sale of these maintenance contracts.  This is an unpredictable revenue stream which is dependent upon expiration dates of existing contracts, installation dates of new systems, and the number of years that customers contract for services.  Corporate cost of goods sold represents our material logistics and purchasing functions that support all of our revenue segments.

Operating Expenses.  Our total operating expenses increased $740,000 or 25% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2006.  This increase primarily reflects increased commissions and incentive compensation costs due to higher revenues and gross profits.  Other increases in operating expenses included increased personnel costs and additional marketing expenses.  Amortization expense in the first quarter was $140,000, an increase of $39,000 over the first quarter of last year.

Interest Expense and Other Income.  Net interest expense and other income was $7,000 in income in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $64,000 in expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.  This change reflects lower overall borrowing costs in 2007 compared to last year.

Tax Provision.  We recorded a combined federal and state tax provision of 41.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to an income tax benefit rate of 34.8% recorded in the first quarter of last year.  Due to large tax deductions generated from the tax amortization of goodwill balances and the relatively low profitability over the past several fiscal years, we have not been in a tax paying position.  However, many states require minimum taxes to be paid even if tax losses are generated and in some states, tax losses are not available for carry-forward to future periods.  As a result, our tax provision recorded for the first quarter

15




reflects the effective federal tax rate plus the composite state income tax rates adjusted for states that require minimum tax payments even if tax losses are incurred.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates.  We did not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes during the three months ending January 31, 2007.

Interest Rate Risk.   We are subject to the risk of fluctuation in interest rates in the normal course of business due to our utilization of variable debt.  Our credit facility bears interest at a floating rate at either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (5.32% at January 31, 2007) plus 1.25% to 2.75% or the bank’s prime rate (8.25% at January 31, 2007) less 0.0% to minus 1.125%.  A hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Based on an evaluation conducted as of January 31, 2007 by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are effective to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and, therefore, there were no corrective actions taken.

None.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

The information presented below is an update to the “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 and should be read in conjunction therewith.  Except as set forth below, the Risk Factors included in the Company’s Form 10-K for its 2006 fiscal year have not materially changed.

Our expected growth in Managed Services revenues will likely be derived from a handful of large companies, therefore exposing us to the risk of a significant negative impact in the event of the loss of any one of such companies as a customer.

To date, much of our success in growing the commercial portion of our Managed Services business has come from Nortel who contracts us to serve as a subcontractor to fulfill service requirements to end-user companies.  Our target market for our Managed Services offerings is manufacturers such as Nortel, large communications carriers such as the regional Bell Operating Companies, and systems integrators.  Typically, these companies will contract with us to provide technical resources in the field on a subcontract basis and parts fulfillment.  The end-users served are often some of our customer’s largest and most prestigious clients and therefore it is imperative that our customer satisfaction ratings remain high.  Once these revenue streams

16




are established, the loss of any particular relationship could result in a material, adverse impact on our operating results.
