Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

December 31, 2006

1. Basis of Presentation

Avatech Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) provides design automation and facilities and data management software, hardware, training, technical support and professional services to corporations, government agencies and educational institutions throughout the United States.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in management’s opinion, necessary to present a fair statement of results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future interim period.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avatech Solutions, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its consolidated affiliated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB published FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a two-step process that involves both the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. With respect to recognition of a tax position, a company must determine based on the technical merits of the position, whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon an IRS examination. Once the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, the enterprise must assume that the appropriate taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information will examine the position. In measuring the amount of the benefit to recognize in the financial statements, a company must use the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No.157”). This statement provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures concerning fair value. Previously, different definitions of fair value were contained in various accounting pronouncements creating inconsistencies in measurement and disclosures. SFAS No. 157 applies under those previously issued pronouncements that prescribe fair value as the relevant measure of value, except SFAS No. 123(R) and related interpretations and pronouncements that require or permit measurement similar to fair value but are not intended to measure fair value. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard, but currently believes that adoption will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

3. Employee Stock Compensation Plans


During fiscal year 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (Statement 123R), which requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Previously, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation plans and the employee stock purchase plan in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. On July 1, 2005, the Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by Statement 123R. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized during fiscal year 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123R. The effect of applying Statement 123R was a decrease to net income of $136,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, or less than $0.01 per basic and diluted share. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the effect of applying this Statement was $253,000, or less $0.02 per basic and $0.01 per diluted share. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

The Board of Directors may grant options under the Avatech Solutions, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The plan provides for the granting of either incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,100,000 shares of common stock to eligible employees, officers, and directors of the Company. Stock options generally have a maximum term of 10 years. Options generally vest ratably over three or four years, depending on the specific grant award. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company also issued 11,334 and 20,893 shares, respectively, of fully vested common stock to members of the Board of Directors under the Company’s Restricted Stock Award Plan, with an aggregate market value of $17,000 and $34,000, respectively. For the three months three and six months ended December 31, 2006, total stock compensation expense charged against income for these plans was $153,000 and $287,000, respectively.

The minimum value method calculates the fair value of options as the excess of the estimated fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant over the present value of both the exercise price and the expected dividend payments, each discounted at the risk-free rate, over the expected life of the option. For all stock options granted prior to November 19, 2002, the date the Company’s common stock became publicly traded and had a readily determinable market value, the Company used the minimum value method to calculate pro forma stock compensation expense. For all stock options granted after this date, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards.

The following are the assumptions made in computing the fair value of stock-based awards:

Weighted average fair value of granted options

   $ 1.29     $ 1.08     $ 1.39     $ 0.77  

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation


model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Assuming that no additional share-based payments are granted after December 31, 2006, unamortized stock compensation expense of $861,000 will be recognized in the statement of operations over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

4. Borrowings Under Line-of-Credit

The Company maintains a line of credit from a bank which provides for up to $5 million of borrowings limited to 80% of the Company’s aggregate eligible accounts receivable. The loan bears interest at a rate tied to the bank’s prime rate adjusted for changes in the Company’s capital structure. The interest rate ranges from the bank’s prime rate plus two percent to a low of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.25%. Based on the Company’s capital structure, the interest rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was the bank’s prime rate plus one and one-half percent. The loan was renewed prior to its December 31, 2006 expiration date with a two year extension through December 31, 2008 and is secured by all of the Company’s assets, except inventory.

The aggregate outstanding borrowings from the bank under this credit line were $3,916,000 and $1,409,000 at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.


5. Long-Term Debt

The Company entered into two loans in connection with its April 2005 acquisition of Comtrex Corporation which totaled $50,000 as of December 31, 2006. Additionally, the Company assumed the automotive loans of Sterling Systems which totaled $13,000 as of December 31, 2006.

6. Income Taxes

Income tax expense relates to the recordation of state income taxes and a federal alternative minimum tax provision as a result of the Company’s profitable results. The Company, however, has significant net operating loss carry forwards and does not expect to pay significant federal income taxes for the foreseeable future. For all periods presented, valuation allowances have been provided for the full amount of all net deferred tax assets.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed as net earnings available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share include the potential dilution that would occur from common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stocks. As of December 31, 2006, 10,787,432 shares of common stock were issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options, warrants and preferred stock. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, there were 3,982,361 and 3,882,361, respectively, of common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The following summarizes the computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

8. Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s operations have significantly improved over the last twelve months and it has generated sufficient capital to fund its operations and strengthen its balance sheet. As of December 31, 2006, the stockholders’ equity was $5,363,000. Based on an evaluation of likely cash to be generated from operations in the near term and other available capital resources, management believes that it has sufficient sources of working capital to fund its operations in the normal course of business.

9. Subsequent Event

On January 29, 2007, the Company entered into and closed on a private placement pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of 1,085,170 shares of common stock and issued warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 726,102 shares of common stock to several members of its Board of Directors and to Sigma Opportunity Fund LLC, whose managing member is also a member of the Board of Directors. The purchase price of the common stock was $1.5205 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,650,000. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock, at any time until January 29, 2011, at an exercise price of $1.5205 per share. The proceeds of the private placement will be used to fund the Company’s expansion objectives.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers of this report should be aware of the speculative nature of “forward-looking statements.” Statements that are not historical in nature, including those that include the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about, among other things, the industry and the markets in which we operate, and they are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to expectations and predictions is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties discussed in this report; general economic, market, or business conditions; changes in interest rates, the cost of funds, and demand for the Company’s products and services; changes in the Company’s competitive position or competitive actions by other companies; the Company’s ability to manage growth; changes in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and agencies; and other circumstances beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated will be realized, or if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences on our business or operations. These and other risk factors are discussed in detail the Company’s periodic reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (see Item 1A of Part II of this report for further information). Except as required by applicable laws, the Company does not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

The Company is a leading provider of design automation and data management solutions for the manufacturing, building design, engineering, and total infrastructure and facilities management markets. The Company specializes in technical support, training, and consulting aimed at improving design and documentation efficiencies and the seamless integration of workflow processes. These technology solutions enable its customers to enhance productivity, profitability, and competitive position. Avatech is one of the largest Autodesk software integrators worldwide and a leading provider of engineering document management solutions.

The Company has a growth strategy which focuses on new ways of expanding its human resources, product offerings, and geographic presence. This strategy includes-

 

   

focusing on three product groups: Design Automation (DA), Facilities Management (FM), and Data Management (DM);

 

   

employing highly qualified professionals in specialized areas;

 

   

expanding our product offerings to include various FM and DM software packages, and new, internally-developed proprietary software; and,

 

   

focusing on solutions and services selling.

Product Sales- Product sales consist primarily of the resale of packaged design software, including:

 

   

Autodesk design automation software for mechanical, architectural and civil engineering sectors and the Discreet product line for animation;

 

   

Archibus facilities management software for space planning, strategic planning, and lease/property administration;

 

   

Cyco engineering data management solutions using Meridian software; and


   

Autodesk data management software.

The Company also offers Autodesk’s subscription programs, which entitle subscribers to receive software upgrades, web support and eLearning lessons directly from Autodesk. Because Avatech does not participate in the delivery of these subscription products or the web support and eLearning lesson benefits, The Company records the gross profit from the sale of Autodesk software subscriptions as commission revenue. Approximately 93% of the Company’s total product revenue is related to the resale of Autodesk products.

Service Revenue- Avatech provides services in the form of training, consulting services, professional services, and technical support to its customers. The Company also offers its customers an assessment tool to analyze the ability and knowledge of current and potential employees in computer aided design. The Company employs a technical staff of approximately 69 personnel associated with these types of services.

Commission Revenue- The Company generates commission revenue from the resale of Autodesk software to various customers, a number of which Autodesk considers “major accounts.” Autodesk designates these customers as major accounts based on specific criteria, primarily sales volume, and typically gives these customers volume discounts. The Company is responsible for managing and reselling Autodesk products to a number of these major account customers; however, software products are shipped directly from Autodesk to the customers. The Company receives commissions upon shipment of the products from Autodesk to the customer based on the product sales price. In addition, the Company sells technology upgrades to existing Autodesk customers through the Autodesk Subscription program where the customers receive the latest releases of Autodesk software, incremental product enhancements, personalized web support direct from Autodesk technical experts, and self-paced training to help extend its customers’ skills. Based on the Company’s analysis of the Autodesk Subscription program, it records the net proceeds that it receives from Autodesk for subscription sales in accordance with the provisions of EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.

Cost of Product Sales- The cost of product sales consists of the cost of purchasing products from software suppliers or hardware manufacturers as well as the associated shipping and handling costs.

Cost of Service Revenue- Cost of service revenue includes the direct costs associated with the implementation of software and hardware solutions as well as training, support services, and professional services. These costs consist primarily of compensation, benefits, travel, and the costs of third-party contractors engaged by the Company. The cost of service revenue does not include an allocation of overhead costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense- Selling, general and administrative expense consist primarily of compensation and other expenses associated with the Company’s sales force, management, finance, human resources, and information systems. Advertising and public relations expenses and expenses for facilities, such as rent and utilities, are also included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense- Depreciation and amortization expenses represent the period costs associated with our investment in property and equipment, consisting principally of computer equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. The Company computes depreciation and amortization expenses using the straight-line method. The Company leases all of its facilities and depreciates leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Interest Expense- Interest expense consists primarily of interest on a revolving line-of-credit.


Three Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2005

The following tables set forth a comparison of the Company’s results of operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006 to the three-month period ended December 31, 2005. The amounts are derived from selected items reflected in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations included elsewhere in this report. The three months financial results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

     2006    2005   

%

Revenues:

        

Product sales

   $ 7,266,000    $ 5,734,000    26.7 %

Service revenue

     2,346,000      1,864,000    25.9 %

Commission revenue

     2,800,000      1,853,000    51.1 %
                    

Total revenues

   $ 12,412,000    $ 9,451,000    31.3 %
                    

Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased $2,961,000, or 31.3 %, when compared to the same period last year due to growth in all revenue categories. Subsequent to the May 2006 acquisition of Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc. (“Sterling”), the Company integrated all Sterling personnel into a reorganized organization and as a result, lost the ability to accurately track the revenues from the pre-acquisition Sterling. However, the offices that were previously owned, managed and staffed with all Sterling personnel accounted for product sales of approximately $1,174,000, service revenue of $278,000 and commission revenue of $267,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006.

Product sales increased to $7,266,000 for the quarter, an increase of $1,532,000 from the quarter ended December 31, 2005, or 26.7%. Excluding the effects of the offices acquired in the Sterling acquisition, product sales increased by approximately $358,000, or 6.2%.

Service revenues increased $482,000, or 25.9%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Service revenues from the offices acquired in the Sterling acquisition accounted for approximately 58% of the increase with the remainder due to organic growth.

Commission revenues showed the largest growth of all of the revenue categories, increasing by 51.1%, or $947,000, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Approximately 28% of the increase in commission revenues was a result of the Sterling acquisition. The remaining increase was a result of a significant increase in the sales volume due to the fact that a larger percentage of subscriptions are renewed in the month of December compared with other periods and the continued focus by the Company to increase this type of business.

Cost of revenue:

        

Cost of product sales

   $ 4,506,000    $ 3,382,000    33.2 %

Cost of service revenue

     1,736,000      1,171,000    48.2 %
                    

Total cost of revenue

   $ 6,242,000    $ 4,553,000    37.1 %
                    

Gross margin

   $ 6,170,000    $ 4,898,000   
                


Cost of revenue. The total cost of revenue increased $1,689,000, or 37.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Cost of product sales for the second quarter of the current fiscal year increased $1,124,000, or 33.2%, when compared to the second quarter of last year despite the fact that product sales increased by only 26.7% between periods. The cost of product sales as a percentage of related revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was 62.0%, compared to 59.0% in the same period in 2005. The increase in the cost of product sales as a percentage of sales is due to the fact that on October 1, 2006, the Company’s main supplier increased the cost of certain of its lower end products and the Company was unable to pass the full amounts of the increases onto its customers due to market pressures. In addition, the Company sold some hardware during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and hardware has a lower margin than software, thus contributing to the lower overall product margin.

Cost of service revenue increased $565,000, or 48.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, while service revenues increased only 25.9%. Cost of service revenue as a percentage of related revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased to 74.0% from 62.8% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company hired a number of technical personnel during its first and second quarters of the current fiscal year and it has taken longer than expected to increase the billable utilization of these new hires. The Company expects that its service revenue will increase once these personnel are fully trained and increase their billable hours resulting in a increase to the service gross margin percentage.

Gross margin. Overall, the gross margin percentage decreased slightly from 51.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 to 49.7% for the same period in the current fiscal year. The decrease in the gross margin percentage was due to the factors noted above offset to a large degree by higher commission revenue as a percentage of total revenue.

Other Operating Expenses

 

     Three Months Ended December 31,  
   2006    2005    %
increase
 

Other operating expenses:

        

Selling, general and administrative

Depreciation and amortization

     164,000      99,000    65.7 %
                    

Total other operating expenses

   $ 5,536,000    $ 3,959,000    39.8 %
                    

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,512,000, or 39.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to higher salary expense and sales commissions due to the acquisition of Sterling in May 2006 and new sales personnel hired in the past twelve months. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of total revenues was 43.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2006, up from 40.8% for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $65,000, or 65.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to the additional depreciation of the Sterling assets and the amortization of the intangible asset, the Sterling customer list, recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2006.

Other Income (Expense)

 

     Three Months Ended December 31,
   2006    2005    %

Other income (expense):

        

Interest and other income

Total other income (expense)

   $ (66,000)    $ (122,000)    (45.9)%
                  


Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) decreased $56,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Interest expense decreased due to the payoff of virtually all long-term debt that occurred in fiscal year 2006.

Income Tax Expense

 

     Three Months Ended December 31,  
   2006    2005    %
increase
 

Income tax expense

   $ 61,000    $ 12,000    408.3 %
                    

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $49,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in tax expense relates to the recordation of state income taxes and a federal alternative minimum tax provision as a result of the Company’s profitable results. The Company, however, has significant net operating loss carry forwards and does not expect to pay significant federal income taxes for the foreseeable future. As the Company continues to demonstrate its ability to consistently earn net income, some portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance may need to be reversed in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate the likelihood of this asset being realized and will adjust the valuation allowance when circumstances warrant its recordation. Any future reversal of the valuation allowance could have a material, non-cash effect on reported earnings.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2005

The following tables set forth a comparison of the Company’s results of operations for the six month period ended December 31, 2006 to the six month period ended December 31, 2005. The amounts are derived from selected items reflected in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations included elsewhere in this report.

Revenues. The Company realized significant revenue growth over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Total revenues increased $5,778,000, or 30.9%, between periods and all three categories of revenues showed large increases. As noted above, the Company integrated all Sterling personnel into a reorganized organization and as a result, lost the ability to accurately track the revenues from the pre-acquisition Sterling. However, the offices that were previously owned, managed and staffed with all Sterling personnel accounted for product sales of approximately $2,848,000, service revenue of $648,000 and commission revenue of $669,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, or a total of $4,165,000.

Product sales increased to $14,520,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $2,575,000 over the same period in 2005, or 21.6% due to the Sterling acquisition.

Service revenues increased $1,238,000, or 33.2%, for the six months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company continued its strategy of investing in its services business by adding personnel and expanding its training, support and consulting capabilities. This strategy, coupled with the Sterling acquisition, resulted in the large growth in its services revenues.


Commission revenues increased $1,965,000, or 65.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2006, when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Approximately 34% of the increase in commission revenues was a result of the Sterling acquisition. The remaining increase in commission revenues was a result of a significant industry-wide increase in sales volume and a continued focus by the Company and Autodesk to increase this category of business.

Cost of revenue:

        

Cost of product sales

   $ 9,182,000    $ 7,202,000    27.5 %

Total cost of revenue

   $ 12,747,000    $ 9,600,000    32.8 %
                    

Gross margin

   $ 11,710,000    $ 9,079,000   
                

Costs of revenue. Total cost of revenue increased $3,147,000, or 32.8%, for the six months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Cost of product sales increased $1,980,000, or 27.5%, despite only a 21.6% increase in product revenues. The cost of product sales as a percentage of related revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was 63.2%, compared to 60.3% in the same period in 2005. The increase in the cost of product sales as a percentage of sales is due to the fact that the Company sold some hardware during the six months ended December 31, 2006 and hardware has a lower margin than software, thus contributing to the lower overall product margin. In addition, on October 1, 2006, the Company’s main supplier increased the cost of certain of its lower end products and the Company was unable to pass the full amounts of these increases onto its customers due to market pressures.

Cost of service revenue increased $1,167,000, or 48.7%, for the six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, but service revenues increased by 33.2%. As a result, cost of service revenue as a percentage of related revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2006 increased to 71.8% from 64.3% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company hired a number of technical personnel during its first and second quarter of the current fiscal year and it has taken longer than expected to increase the billable utilization of these new hires. The Company expects that its service revenue will increase once these personnel are fully trained and increase their billable hours resulting in a increase to the service gross margin percentage.

Gross margin. For the previously-stated reasons, the Company’s gross margin percentage decreased from 48.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2005 to 47.9% for the same period in the current fiscal year.

   $ 10,931,000    $ 7,781,000    40.5 %
                    

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3,008,000, or 39.7%, for the six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to higher salary expense and sales commissions due to new sales personnel hired in the past twelve months. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of total revenues was 43.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to 40.6% for the same period in the prior fiscal


year due to the acquisition of Sterling in May 2006 and new sales personnel hired in the past twelve months.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $142,000, or 73.6%, for the six months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. These expenses increased due to the Company’s investment in upgrading its information technology infrastructure, purchases of new, upgraded computers for several of the Company’s training centers as well as for new personnel that were hired during the last twelve months and the amortization of a customer list, recorded as a result of the Company’s purchase of Sterling in May 2006.

   2006    2005    %  

Income tax expense

   $ 115,000    $ 32,000    259.4 %
                    

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $83,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in tax expense relates to the recordation of state income taxes and a federal alternative minimum tax provision as a result of the Company’s profitable results. The Company, however, has significant net operating loss carry forwards and does not expect to pay significant federal income taxes for the foreseeable future. As the Company continues to demonstrate its ability to consistently earn net income, some portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance may need to be reversed in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate the likelihood of this asset being realized and will adjust the valuation allowance when circumstances warrant its recordation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has financed its operations and met its capital expenditure requirements primarily through cash flows provided by operations, borrowings under short-term and long-term debt arrangements, and sales of its securities. See Note 9 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report for information about the recent sale of securities.

The Company’s operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable. Changes in these balances are affected principally by the timing of sales and investments in inventory based on expected customer demand. The Company attempts to minimize inventory levels through arrangements with suppliers to ship products with an average delivery period of two days and centralized inventory management but has increased inventories at times to take advantage of special pricing and rebates offered by its main supplier. The Company purchases approximately 90% of its product from one principal supplier which provides between $4 million and $5 million of available credit to finance those purchases, depending on the Company’s anticipated purchasing levels.

The Company’s investing activities consist principally of investments in computer and office equipment. Capital expenditures for the six months ended December 31, 2006 were approximately $233,000, compared to $112,000 for the same period in 2005.


For the six months ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in operating activities was $2,076,000, an increase in the use of cash of $3,365,000 over the same period in 2005. The major difference between the periods was that the Company accounts and other receivables increased by $2,756,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 but decreased by $254,000 during the same period in 2005. The accounts receivable grew due to the high level of December 2006 sales that were financed primarily by a $2,507,000 increase in the Company’s borrowings under its line of credit. In addition, accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $881,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 as compared with $641,000 during the same period in 2005.

For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company was provided with $2,269,000 of cash by financing activities compared with using cash of $1,171,000 for the same period in 2005. The main reason for this difference is increased borrowings on the line of credit between periods.

The Company maintains a line of credit from a bank which provides for up to $5 million of borrowings limited to 80% of the Company’s aggregate eligible accounts receivable. The loan bears interest at a rate tied to the bank’s prime rate adjusted for changes in the Company’s capital structure. The interest rate ranges from the bank’s prime rate plus two percent to a low of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.25%. Based on the Company’s capital structure, the interest rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was the bank’s prime rate plus one and one-half percent. The loan was renewed prior to its December 31, 2006 expiration date with a two year extension through December 31, 2008 and is secured by all of the Company’s assets, except inventory.

The total borrowings from the bank under this line of credit were approximately $3.9 million and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Outstanding long-term debt totaled approximately $ 13,000 at December 31, 2006, and the Company had working capital of approximately $180,000.

As a result of its profitable operations and the various equity offerings that closed in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 and in January 2007, the Company’s working capital needs have stabilized and management believes the Company’s near-term needs can be met from its available cash resources, cash flows from operations and its lines of credit.

Because the Company is one of the largest resellers of Autodesk software and because Autodesk has continued to state its intention to continue to strengthen its relationships with its resellers, the Company expects to continue to be a leading seller of Autodesk software at margins sufficient to grow its business and improve its financial results. The Company signed the new Channel Partner Agreement with Autodesk which designates the Company as an authorized reseller of Autodesk products through the expiration of the Agreement, which is January 31, 2008.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates associated with its variable rate line-of-credit. At December 31, 2006, virtually of the outstanding debt bore interest at variable rates. Accordingly, the Company’s earnings and cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and assuming a 100 basis point change in the average interest rate under these borrowings, the Company estimates that its interest expense and net income would have changed by less than $10,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management would likely take actions to further mitigate this exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the analysis assumes no such actions. Further, the analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the SEC, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls as of December 31, 2006 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and the CFO. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

During the most recently-completed quarter, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
