This Annual Report of Avatech Solutions, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 may contain 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 Avatech Solutions, Inc. operates, 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; cost of capital, demand for products and services; changes in Avatech Solutions, Inc.’s competitive position or competitive actions by other companies; the ability to manage growth; changes in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and agencies; and other circumstances beyond the Avatech Solutions, Inc.’s control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this document 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 the Avatech Solutions, Inc.’s business or operations. Except as required by applicable laws, Avatech Solutions, Inc. does not intend to publish updates or revisions of forward-looking statements it makes to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

When used throughout this annual report, the terms “Avatech”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Avatech Solutions, Inc. and, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries other than Rand Worldwide, Inc. (“Rand Worldwide”).

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Background

Avatech Solutions, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on September 9, 1996. During fiscal years 1997 through 1999, the Company consummated business combinations with 10 companies that provided design automation software, training, technical support, and professional services to corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions throughout the United States.

In November 2002, Avatech Solutions, Inc. completed a merger with PlanetCAD, Inc. (“PlanetCad”) and became a wholly owned subsidiary of PlanetCAD, after which PlanetCAD changed its name to Avatech Solutions, Inc. and the original Avatech Solutions, Inc. changed its name to Avatech Solutions Subsidiary, Inc. As a result of the merger, PlanetCAD’s stockholders retained 25% of the surviving company and, in exchange for all of the common stock of the original Avatech Solutions, Inc., the stockholders of the original Avatech Solutions, Inc. were issued registered shares constituting 75% of the surviving company’s outstanding common stock. The original Avatech Solutions, Inc. was deemed to have acquired PlanetCAD because its stockholders received the majority of the common stock of the surviving company.

Subsequent to the Company’s most recent year end, on August 17, 2010, Avatech Solutions, Inc. acquired Rand Worldwide in a reverse merger transaction that resulted in Rand Worldwide becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Avatech. In connection with the merger, Rand Worldwide’s stockholders received shares of Avatech common stock representing approximately 66% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock and Avatech’s stockholders retained approximately 34% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock. When calculated based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis on August 17, 2010, the merger consideration is equal to 59.3% of the total common equivalent shares at closing. Because the shares of Avatech common stock issued to Rand Worldwide’s stockholders exceeded 50% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock outstanding immediately after the merger, Rand Worldwide was deemed, for accounting and SEC reporting purposes, to be the continuing reporting entity, and the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements going forward will be those of Rand Worldwide. Since Rand is deemed, for accounting purposes, to be the acquiring entity, upon consummation of the merger, there will be purchase accounting adjustments that will affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of Avatech that are currently reported at historical cost as of June 30, 2010. A Form 8-K that includes pro forma financial information is expected to be filed within 71 days after the merger date.

General

The Company is a leader in design, engineering, and facilities management technology solutions with expertise in computer aided design (“CAD”) software, data management, facilities management, and process optimization for the manufacturing, engineering, and building design industries. Avatech specializes in software resale, technology consulting, implementation, integration, training, and technical support solutions that enable clients to more effectively design, develop, and manage projects, products, and facilities. The Company’s clients include corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions nationwide.

The operations of Rand Worldwide are very similar to those of Avatech except that Rand’s annual revenues are approximately 50% greater than those of Avatech and in addition to their operations in the United States, Rand has operations in Canada, Asia and Australia. Rand Worldwide employs approximately 250 people in over 40 sales and client service centers around the world and like Avatech, generates revenues from sources other than through the sale and support of CAD software. However, again like Avatech, most of Rand’s revenues come from the resale of design software developed by Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk”) and services supporting that software.

The Company differentiates itself from traditional product resellers through a wide range of value-added services, consisting primarily of training, technical support, and professional services. It also provides software customization, data migration, computer-aided design standards consulting, process workflow analysis, and implementation assistance for complex design environments. Its strategic focus is to provide clients a competitive advantage with technology solutions that address broad, enterprise-wide initiatives.

Avatech’s sales and service delivery network consists of approximately 106 employees operating out of seventeen business offices across the United States. The Company has a sales database that contains over 300,000 point-of-contact names collected over its history and an active customer list of approximately 30,000 private firms, federal, state, and local agencies, and colleges and universities.

During its fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, Avatech’s operations were significantly affected by the recession which gripped the United States. The business slowdown experienced by the Company’s customer base in the manufacturing, engineering and building sectors resulted in reduced purchases of the products and services that the Company offers. In order to respond to this downturn and the resulting decrease in revenues over prior periods, management implemented a series of tactics including a significant reduction in workforce and an across-the-board reduction of the base pay of all employees.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company’s operations improved as the recession abated and the United States began its economic recovery. Sales levels, while still lower than prior to the recession, began to increase and the Company returned to profitability. For the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported net income of approximately $1.3 million and ended the fiscal year with virtually no debt and no outstanding shares of its Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Stock”).

The Company’s ongoing strategic plan calls for it to leverage the solid core business base that has been established to profitably grow its product and services offerings in the design engineering market space. Concurrently, Avatech plans to continue to identify and engage in diverse software and services opportunities through strategic relationship development while taking advantage of its established brand, its geographic footprint and technical expertise to accomplish its objectives. Thus, the strategic plan calls for the Company to target specific product lines that will maximize its Autodesk business, to leverage its market position and core competencies, and to grow the Services component of its business. This strategy remains unchanged after the August 2010 merger with Rand except that management believes that the opportunities to execute its strategies have been greatly expanded by the combination of the two organizations.

Avatech has a software development team within its professional services group that is charged with the responsibility of developing software-based solutions for customers that improve the customers’ design workflow processes. These may include sales-oriented configuration tools or engineering-oriented automation and integration tools. The solutions often involve automating or enhancing the software products the Company sells. While focused on professional services, the team has developed a variety of small applications which are packaged and sold commercially to its customers. For example, in June 2009, Avatech sold a software application that its team had developed for $500,000 to Autodesk. It is Avatech’s intention to continue the development of software applications as well as to identify new areas for commercial software development. There can be no assurance that any future sale will result in a similar amount of income to the Company.

The Company’s product sales are somewhat cyclical, and increase when the developer of a specific software product offers a new version, promotions or discontinues support of an older product. As is common among software resellers, the Company purchases products from its suppliers with a combination of cash and credit. The Company allows returns in limited situations.

Products

Substantially all of Avatech’s business consists of the sale of prepackaged software and associated services to customers in the United States. Sales are focused on the following three major product categories and associated value-added services.

Table of Contents

Design Automation. More than 94% of product revenues arise from the resale of design software developed by Autodesk for the building design and land development, manufacturing, utilities, and telecommunications industries, and the delivery of related services from the sales of these products. These product sales are primarily packaged software programs installed on a user workstation, on a local area network server, or in a hosted environment. The programs perform and support a wide variety of functions related to design, drafting, manufacturing, workflow automation, and document management activities.

Avatech also provides 3D laser scanning products including hardware, software, equipment rentals and training. This solution provides accurate as-builts of existing structures and facilities, resulting in a more accurate and cost effective design.

Data Management. Data management software products help businesses reduce costs, improve quality, strengthen relationships with customers and suppliers, and deliver more innovative products and services to minimize product time-to-market by leveraging the value of existing data.

Facilities Management. Physical assets, such as real estate, buildings, equipment, materials, and furniture are a significant percentage of an organization’s total asset value. These assets are used by many different business units, departments, and individuals, and must be accurately managed in order to extend asset life cycles and keep operating costs at a minimum.

Integrated Workplace Management Systems (“IWMS”) and Computer Aided Facilities Management (“CAFM”) systems enable organizations to make informed strategic and business decisions that optimize return on investment, lower asset lifecycle costs, and increase enterprise-wide productivity and profitability. Organizations of all sizes, spanning the financial, educational, governmental, healthcare, and manufacturing industries, use these solutions to deliver timely, relevant facilities information as part of their strategic business plans.

Geographic Information Systems (“GIS”) permit users to link together disparate data files (maps, aerial photos, tax records, marketing data, etc.) and provide the user with a unified image and knowledge base of a specific geographic location or building location. When combined with information from a facilities management system, information from GIS applications provide an integrated facilities view that allows enhanced analysis in various spatial contexts for professionals responsible for asset tracking, maintenance, emergency preparedness, space allocation, and construction planning.

The Company sells, customizes, and implements IWMS and CAFM solutions through its dedicated salespeople, technical specialists, and a network of strategic partners. It also provides GIS database development services to facilities management customers, both through its employees and strategic partners.

The Company occasionally develops add-ons, utilities and other software complimentary to its resale products or otherwise beneficial to its customer base. Such software is either offered for sale or provided at no cost to customers. During fiscal year 2009, Avatech developed BIMreview software, an enhancement to Autodesk’s Revit® architectural software. During the fourth quarter of 2009, Autodesk purchased all rights in the BIMreview software for $500,000. In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company expenses as incurred the research and development costs of internally developed software until technological feasibility is established. Accordingly, the costs of developing BIMreview software were expensed as research and development when incurred during the first two quarters of fiscal year 2009.

Services

Professional services include project-focused software implementations, software customization, data migration, computer aided design standards consulting, supplemental design staffing, drawing digitization, and symbol library development. The Company employs over forty industry specialists who provide professional services to its design automation customers.

Table of Contents

Avatech offers training courses in thirty nine different subjects related to various software solutions offered at sixteen training facilities and through mobile labs sent to customer sites or other off-site facilities. Training is led by thirty four technical experts that have formal training or proven industry experience in the topics they teach. The Company also provides training services that are highly tailored to meet the needs of a particular customer, including company-specific operational topics, customized product usage, and other general technology or process training. As part of the training offering, the Company has developed and deployed an Internet-based assessment tool that allows its clients to test their employees’ knowledge and ability to use the software tools.

The Company provides end-user telephone support services through its National Support Center (NSC). A staff of full-time technology consultants assists customers with questions about product features, functions, usability issues, and configurations. The NSC offers services through multiple access levels including prepaid services, actual elapsed time, and annual support contracts. Customers can communicate with the NSC through a variety of channels including e-mail, an Internet portal, telephone, and facsimile.

Avatech also offers a consulting services division with a focus on using technology to fulfill strategic objectives. Typical projects target the automation and embedding of design rules, workflows, and standards into technology tools to automate processes and eliminate bottlenecks.

Markets and Competition

Design Automation. In the design automation market, Avatech focuses on providing enterprise solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses with under one billion dollars of annual revenue, primarily in the architecture, engineering, and construction (“AEC”) market and the mechanical design and manufacturing (“MDM”) market. The AEC market is comprised of design services focused on the construction of large physical assets such as buildings, roads, factories, utility companies, and commercial infrastructure projects. The MDM market is primarily focused on the design, tooling, assembly, and testing of instruments, electronic devices, machines, mechanical devices, and power-driven equipment.

While several local and regional competitors exist in the various geographic territories where the Company conducts business, it believes that it has a competitive advantage in terms of geographic reach, comprehensive training and support, and the provision of other products and services, and that it is one of the largest commercial Autodesk resellers in the United States. Two national competitors that could be compared to Avatech in scale, size, geographical reach, and target markets for the resale of Autodesk products are Tata Technologies Company (“Tata”) and Rand Worldwide. As previously discussed, in August 2010, the Company merged with Rand Worldwide.

Tata is a systems integrator for design automation products with offices located in fourteen countries and has headquarters in the United States, London, and India. While the Company believes that Tata has greater revenues than Avatech, the Company estimates that the Autodesk portion of Tata’s business is less than its Autodesk business.

Rand Worldwide is a large, global computer-aided design and engineering technology company that has U.S. offices in the Northern Pacific, Midwest, Northeast and the Southeast. The Company’s Autodesk-related business is concentrated primarily in geographic areas in which Rand Worldwide does not have a significant presence. In addition, Rand Worldwide offers products and services that the Company does not offer. Thus, the merger with Rand Worldwide allowed the Company to not only expand its Autodesk-related business presence but also diversify its products and services.

Data Management. In this market, the Company faces similar competition from local and regional Autodesk resellers in its design automation business.

Facilities Management. The Company provides IWMS and CAFM solutions to organizations of all sizes, spanning the financial, educational, governmental, healthcare, and manufacturing industries. As a reseller of technology from ARCHIBUS and Idisis, the Company competes with not only competitive applications but also other resellers of the products it represents.

Arrangements with Principal Suppliers

Revenues are primarily derived from the resale of vendor software products and services. These sales are made pursuant to channel sales agreements whereby Avatech is granted the authority to purchase and resell the vendor products and services. Under these agreements, the Company both resells software directly to its customers and acts as a sales agent for various vendors and receives commissions for its sales efforts.

On February 1, 2008, the Company entered into a renewable Authorized Channel Partner Agreement with Autodesk. The renewable agreement dated February 1, 2008 has a term of three years but provides targets for a one-year period. Under this agreement, Autodesk appointed the Company as a non-exclusive partner to market, distribute, and support Autodesk software products and identifies targets for the upcoming year. The Company must achieve yearly minimum revenue in the amount of $300,000 from the sale of Autodesk’s software products in order to be eligible to purchase such products directly from Autodesk. For the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s revenue from the sale of Autodesk software and subscriptions was approximately $22.6 million. This agreement authorizes the Company to sell certain software products to certain customers in specific geographic areas of the United States and there are no clauses in this agreement that limit or restrict the services that the Company can offer to customers. The Company fully expects that this agreement will be renewed when it expires in February, 2011.

Customers

The Company markets its products to private companies, public corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions throughout the United States. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the revenues generated by our top ten customers represented approximately ten percent of consolidated revenues, and no single customer accounted for three percent or more of our consolidated revenues.

Intellectual Property

The Company regards its technology and other proprietary rights as essential to its business. As such, it relies on copyright, trade secret, confidentiality procedures, contract provisions, and trademark law to protect its technology and intellectual property. Avatech has confidentiality agreements with its consultants and corporate partners and controls access to, and distribution of, its products, documentation, and other proprietary information.

Avatech owns several federally registered trademarks, including “AVATECH SOLUTIONS,” and “AVANEWS,” and has other trademark applications pending, but has no patents or patent applications pending. This Annual Report contains trademarks and trade names of Avatech Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates as well as those of other companies. All trademarks and trade names appearing in this report are the property of their respective holders.

Employees

At June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately 147 employees located in seventeen offices throughout the United States, of which 146 are full-time employees. Approximately 27 of its employees are located at its corporate headquarters in Maryland, which also houses a training facility and some sales and technical personnel. None of its employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements, and it has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company believes that its employee relations are good. It is anticipated that the merger with Rand Worldwide added approximately 250 full-time employees.

Rather, management intends to continue its strategy of retaining earnings for the foreseeable future for use in the expansion and operation of our businesses. The declaration and amount of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Moreover, without the consent of our senior lender, the Company is prohibited from declaring dividends on the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, there can be no guaranty that stockholders will receive any cash dividends on their common stock in the future.

The Company has outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Stock”) and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Stock”), which are eligible for 10% annual, cumulative dividends. The dividends are payable quarterly as declared by the Board of Directors. These dividends have priority over any declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution on the common stock.

Until March, 2010, the Company also had outstanding shares of Series F Stock, which were also eligible for 10% annual, cumulative dividends which were paid semi-annually as declared by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the agreements executed as part of its June 2006 offering of the Series F Stock, the holders of the Series F Stock had the right to request redemptions of up to $500,000 of the Series F Stock each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. Those stockholders expressed their intention of requesting the redemptions until their Series F Stock had been fully redeemed. As of July 1, 2009, 2,000 of the original 4,000 shares of the Series F Stock were outstanding, and all of these were redeemed during fiscal year 2010 for an aggregate redemption price of $2,000,000, plus accumulated dividends of $100,000. The Company has fulfilled all of its obligations with respect to the Series F Stock.

ITEM 7. 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.

Material Subsequent Event

On August 17, 2010, Avatech Solutions, Inc. acquired Rand Worldwide in a reverse merger transaction that resulted in Rand Worldwide becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Avatech. In connection with the merger, Rand Worldwide’s stockholders received shares of Avatech common stock representing approximately 66% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock and Avatech’s stockholders retained approximately 34% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock. Because the shares of Avatech common stock issued to Rand Worldwide’s stockholders in the merger exceeded 50% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock outstanding immediately after the merger, Rand Worldwide is deemed, for accounting and SEC reporting purposes, to be the continuing reporting entity, and the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements going forward will be those of Rand Worldwide. Since Rand is deemed, for accounting purposes, to be the acquiring entity, upon consummation of the merger, there will be purchase accounting adjustments that will affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of Avatech that are currently reported at historical cost as of June 30, 2010. A Form 8-K that includes pro forma financial information is expected to be filed within 71 days after the merger date.

This Item 7 discusses the financial condition and results of operations of Avatech Solutions, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2010. Where appropriate, however, management has included discussion regarding how it believes the merger may impact various aspects of our future financial condition and/or results of operations.

In connection with the merger, Rand Worldwide changed its fiscal year end to match our fiscal year end, from October 31 to June 30, and SEC rules require us to file a Transition Report on Form 10-K for Rand Worldwide’s transition period of November 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 on or before November 15, 2010.

Overview

Avatech 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’s business strategy is built on three core principles designed to leverage its existing strengths with expected market opportunities:

 

   

Maintain and profitably grow its strong position in the Autodesk software economy.

 

   

Profitably grow its consulting and services business by leveraging its experts in design engineering.

 

   

Acquire and integrate diverse, yet complementary, software and services businesses to extend its product offerings to its large customer base and expand its market potential.

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 visualization and animation technology;

Table of Contents
   

Autodesk data management software;

 

   

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

Product sales also include Leica 3D laser scanning equipment for the Architectural, Engineering and Construction sector.

Service Revenue- Avatech provides services in the form of training, consulting services, software development, and technical support to its customers. Avatech employs a technical staff of approximately 46 personnel associated with these types of services.

Commission Revenue- The Company 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. 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, and self-paced training to help extend its customers skills.

Based on its analysis of the Autodesk Subscription program, Avatech records the net proceeds that it receives from Autodesk for subscription sales in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 605, (previously EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent).

Avatech also 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. Avatech receives commissions upon shipment of the products from Autodesk to the customer based on the product sales price.

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, travel, literature, 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 Expenses- Selling, general and administrative expenses 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 Expenses- 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, leasehold improvements and acquired customer lists. The Company computes depreciation and amortization expenses using the straight-line method. Avatech leases all of its facilities and depreciates leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Total amortization expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $212,000. Total depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $370,000.

Interest Expense- For the year ended June 30, 2010, interest expense consisted of interest on a capital lease and maintenance fees on the line of credit.

Critical Accounting Policies

General- The consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. Critical accounting policies and estimates that impact the consolidated financial statements are those that relate to software revenue recognition, estimates of bad debts and income taxes. All of these critical accounting policies are discussed with and reviewed by the Company’s Audit Committee on a periodic basis. Presented below is a description of the accounting policies that management believes are most critical to an understanding of the consolidated financial statements.

Software Revenue Recognition- The Company derives most of its revenue from the resale of packaged software products, and historically, the Company has not experienced significant customer returns. Avatech earns service revenue from training and other professional services, which often are related to the products that are sold but are not essential to the functionality of the software. Annual support contracts are also offered to customers for the software products that are sold, or the Company offers maintenance and support services under hourly billing arrangements.

Revenue from software arrangements is recognized in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 985 (previously American Institution of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions). Prior to recognizing any revenue under these arrangements, (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement must exist, (2) delivery of the software or service must have occurred, (3) all fees must be assessed as fixed or determinable, and (4) all fees must be probable of collection. The Company determines whether criteria (3) and (4) have been satisfied based on its judgment regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectability of such fee. Revenue recognized in a reporting period could be adversely affected if future changes in conditions related to a transaction cause management to determine these criteria are not met. In the past, it has not been necessary to adjust reported revenues due to changes in conditions, and the Company continues to evaluate current conditions that may affect the nature and timing of our revenue recognition.

Customer arrangements can involve the sale of one or more elements (product, service, training, etc.), and are subject to a restrictive returns policy. When this occurs, Avatech allocates revenue to each element if it can reliably determine the relative fair value of each element. The Company limits the assessment of fair value to the price that is charged when the element is sold separately. If the fair value of each element in a multiple element arrangement cannot be reliably determined, and if the fair value of any undelivered element cannot also be reliably determined, all revenue under the arrangement is deferred until such time as the only remaining undelivered element is maintenance, or in the absence of maintenance, implementation services, at which time revenue is recognized over the remaining maintenance or service period. Revenue that is deferred and recognized over a maintenance or service period is recognized in proportion to the services delivered, or ratably if no better measure of performance can be determined. The timing of the revenue that is recognized in future periods from multiple element arrangements with customers will be dependent upon the ability to establish or continue to have vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of each of the elements in these types of arrangements. The Company processes product immediately to be shipped to its customers. Performance of services varies based upon timelines agreed upon by both parties.

Bad Debts- The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses which may result from the inability of customers to pay for purchased products and services or for disputes that affect the ability to fully collect accounts receivable. Avatech estimates this allowance by reviewing the status of past-due accounts and records general reserves based on historical bad debt expense. Accounts are considered past due based on the payment terms as stated on the invoice. Actual experience has not varied significantly from estimates; however, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to pay for products or services, there may be a need to record additional allowances in future periods. To mitigate this risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes- At June 30, 2010, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $1.0 million, which will begin to expire in 2012. The federal net operating loss carryforwards at June 30, 2010 are subject to a $92,000 annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company believes that the merger will not affect the ultimate realization of this carryforward but the final determination has not yet been made.

Recoverability of goodwill and purchased intangible assets- The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangibles under FASB ASC 350 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets). FASB ASC 350 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for impairment; while the second phase, if necessary, measures the impairment. Management considers the Company to be a single reporting unit; accordingly, all of the goodwill is associated with the entire company. The Company performs the required impairment analysis of goodwill annually or on an interim basis if circumstances dictate. Any reduction of the enterprise fair value below the recorded amount of equity could require the Company to write down the value of goodwill or purchased intangibles and record an expense for an impairment loss. Management’s analysis of the recoverability of its intangible assets as of June 30, 2010 determined that there was no need for any write downs of its assets.

Total Revenue:

Revenue: Total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $4.1 million or 11.6% over the prior fiscal year primarily due to the effects of the national recession on the Company’s customers. While revenues have decreased on an annual basis, the Company’s third and fourth fiscal quarter’s revenues increased 5.0% and 3.7%, respectively, when compared to the same quarters in fiscal year 2009.

Product sales decreased by $2.2 million or 12.4% for the year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company also reported lower service and commission revenues when compared to the prior fiscal year. These decreases were the direct result of the lingering effects of the recession that gripped the entire United States during much of fiscal year 2010.

During fiscal year 2009, Avatech developed BIMreview software, an enhancement to Autodesk’s Revit® architectural software and sold this developed software to Autodesk for $500,000. There were no sales of developed software during fiscal year 2010.

Cost of Revenue: Total cost of revenue decreased by $4.3 million or 22.9% for the year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the prior fiscal year.

Cost of product sales decreased 16.8% while product sales decreased 12.4% during the year ended June 30, 2010 as compared with the prior fiscal year. Product costs decreased at a higher rate than product revenues due to the receipt of higher sales rebates based on targets established by the Company’s principal supplier, Autodesk, in 2010 when compared to 2009.

Cost of service revenue decreased by 32.5% while service revenue decreased by 14.7% during the year ended June 30, 2010 as compared with the prior fiscal year. Cost of service revenue decreased at a higher rate than service revenue primarily due to reductions in the technical workforce that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Table of Contents

Gross Margin: The Company’s gross margin percentage increased to 53.3% for the year ended June 30, 2010 from 46.5% for the prior fiscal year due to higher sales rebates received in 2010 when compared to 2009 and reductions in the Company’s technical workforce. In addition, the Company’s commission revenues represented a higher proportion of total revenues resulting in a favorable revenue mix and a higher gross margin.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of the reductions in workforce which occurred during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2009 offset by approximately $300,000 of one-time costs related to the merger that were expensed in the fourth fiscal quarter.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expenses for fiscal year 2010 decreased $141,000 over fiscal year 2009 due primarily to a purchased customer list becoming fully amortized during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Revenue: Total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $14.2 million or 28.6% over the prior fiscal year primarily due to the effects of the national recession on the Company’s customers. The business slowdown experienced by the Company’s customer base in the manufacturing, engineering and building sectors resulted in reduced purchases of the products and services that the Company offers. In an effort to balance its costs against the revenue reductions, the Company implemented reductions in workforce during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2009, a hiring freeze and a temporary 10% base salary reduction for all employees.

Product sales decreased $10.1 million or 36.7% for the year ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company also reported lower service and commission revenues when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. These decreases were the direct result of the severe recession affecting the entire United States.

During fiscal year 2009, Avatech developed BIMreview software, an enhancement to Autodesk’s Revit® architectural software. During the fourth quarter of 2009, Autodesk purchased all rights in the BIMreview software for $500,000. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company expenses as incurred the research and development costs of internally developed software until technological feasibility is established. Accordingly, the costs of developing BIMreview software were expensed as research and development when incurred during the first two quarters of fiscal year 2009.

Cost of service revenue decreased by 9.3% while service revenue decreased by 16.9% during the year ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the prior fiscal year. Cost of service revenue decreased at a lower rate then service revenue due to lowered productivity of the services personnel during 2009 due to a reduction in the volume of services work performed during the period.

Gross Margin: The Company’s gross margin percentage increased to 46.4% for the year ended June 30, 2009 from 45.7% for the prior fiscal year primarily due to the additional margin resulting from the $500,000 sale of developed software.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of decreased commissions due to lower sales, the reductions in workforce which occurred during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2009, and the temporary 10% base salary reduction affecting all employees.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $30,000 over fiscal year 2008 due to a new equipment lease.

The Company earned $18,000 in other income during fiscal year 2009, compared to $86,000 during the prior fiscal year. The decrease in other income was due to decreased interest income resulting from lower cash balances as well as reduced interest rates paid on those balances.

At June 30, 2009, the Company’s remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards totaled $1.1 million and were subject to a $92,000 annual limitation.

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 preferred stock.

The Company maintains a line of credit from a bank that provides for up to $5 million of borrowings limited to 80% of the Company’s aggregate eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate is the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.25%, or 2.60% as of June 30, 2010. The line of credit expires on December 31, 2010 and is secured by all of the Company’s assets, except certain inventories. The Company made no borrowings from the bank under this credit line during fiscal year 2010 and had no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2010. As required by the loan agreement, Avatech notified and received approval from this bank for the acquisition of Rand Worldwide. Rand Worldwide maintains a line of credit with the same bank, and the bank conditioned its approval of the acquisition on our agreement to combine the credit facilities into a single facility within 120 days of the acquisition. The Company expects to have the new line of credit agreement completed prior to December 31, 2010, the expiration of the current agreement.

The Company’s operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory. 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 its inventory levels through arrangements with suppliers to ship products with an average delivery period of two days and centralized inventory management. The Company purchases approximately 95% of its product from one principal supplier which provides it with credit to finance those purchases.

The Company’s investing activities consist principally of investments in computer and office equipment. Cash purchases of equipment for the year ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $97,000 from $134,000 for the same period in 2009. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company performed a complete physical inventory of its fixed assets and removed from the Company’s accounts $850,000 of fully depreciated and obsolete computer equipment.

The Company had $33,000 in long-term capital lease obligations for a computer lease agreement at June 30, 2010, and had working capital of $2,218,000.

For the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company used cash of $2,360,000 in financing activities compared with $2,432,000 for the same period in 2009. Also, during the current fiscal year the Company redeemed 2,000 shares of its Series F Stock for a total of $2,000,000 plus accumulated dividends of $100,000, which resulted in a $1,864,000 decrease in the Series F Stock balance and a $135,000 reduction of additional paid-in capital. Pursuant to the agreements executed as part of the Company’s June 2006 offering of the Series F Stock, the holders of the Series F Stock had the right to request redemptions of up to $500,000 of their Series F Stock each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. Those stockholders expressed their intention of requesting the redemptions until their Series F Stock had been fully redeemed. As of June 30, 2010 the Company had fulfilled all of its obligations to the holders of the Series F Stock.

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. The Company entered into a Value Added Reseller Agreement with Autodesk effective February 1, 2010 for an initial term of twelve months that will automatically renew on an annual basis for two additional twelve month periods. The agreement designates Avatech Solutions as an authorized reseller of Autodesk software and prescribes the authorized sales territories, authorized products and services, rebate and incentive program details and marketing support.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. 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 also is 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, control 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 and procedures as of June 30, 2010 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the fourth quarter of the Company’s last fiscal year, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management has performed an evaluation and testing of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010. Management’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included in Item 8 of this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because management’s report was not subject to attestation pursuant to Section 989G(a) of the recently-enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permits the Company, as a “smaller reporting company”, to provide only this management’s report.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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 cost.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment and the foregoing criteria, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Avatech Solutions, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Avatech Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the table of contents under Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. Avatech Solutions, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Avatech Solutions, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 financial position of Avatech Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Avatech Solutions, Inc. and its Subsidiaries provide design automation software, hardware, training, technical support and professional services to corporations, government agencies and educational institutions throughout much of the United States.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avatech Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Avatech”). All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash.

Inventory

Inventory consists of computer software and is stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost, or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation for computer software and equipment and office furniture and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the asset using the straight-line method.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Excluding Goodwill

Long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. If the assets are impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by estimates of discounted cash flows. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows would be the rate required for a similar investment of like risk.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in purchase business combinations. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Financial Accounting

 

F-9


Table of Contents

Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“ASC 350”). Under ASC 350, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is the amount determined by deducting the estimated fair value of all tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of the reporting unit to which goodwill has been allocated from the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the recorded value of goodwill exceeds its implied value, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess.

The carrying amount of goodwill was $5,968,000 as of June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Stock Options and Stock Granted to Employees

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 a price not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. The Plan provides for the granting of both incentive stock options and 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. The exercise price of each stock option equals no less than 100% of the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and generally has a maximum term of 10 years. Options generally vest ratably over three or four years, depending on the specific grant award. In addition, the Company may grant shares of stock to directors, officers and employees under the Avatech Solutions, Inc. Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Plan. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, and 2009, the Company issued 145,773, and 112,510, respectively, of fully vested common stock to members of the Board of Directors with an aggregate market value of $81,000 and $68,000. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company granted an award of 100,000 shares of restricted stock with an aggregate market value of $50,000 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as part of his compensation agreement. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, total stock compensation expense charged against income for these plans was $186,000 and $257,000, respectively.

The Company uses 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:

   $0.68    $0.48

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in accordance with FASB ASC 13 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements) issued by the SEC. This bulletin was amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, currently FASB ASC 13, and with FASB ASC 985 (previously the American Institution of Certified Public Accountant’s Statement of Position 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition”).

Table of Contents

Software products are sometimes sold in an arrangement that includes implementation services or maintenance services. Maintenance services are limited to help desk support and training. The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If the fair value of each element in a multiple element arrangement cannot be reliably determined, and if the fair value of any undelivered element cannot also be reliably determined, all revenue under the arrangement is deferred until such time as the only remaining undelivered element is maintenance, or in the absence of maintenance, implementation services, at which time revenue is recognized over the remaining maintenance or service period. Revenue that is deferred and recognized over a maintenance or service period is recognized in proportion to the services delivered, or ratably if no better measure of performance can be determined.

Revenue from product sales and the sale of developed software is recognized when four criteria are met. These four criteria are (i) a signed purchase order has been obtained (ii) delivery of the software has occurred (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) the fee is probable of collection. Software product sales billed and not recognized as revenue are included in deferred revenue. The Company generally does not require collateral for accounts receivable. The Company allows returns from customers in limited situations. The Company has historically not experienced significant returns, and accordingly, allowances for returned products are not recorded.

Maintenance services are sold for stated periods or for stated numbers of hours. Revenues are recognized ratably over the service period for arrangements to provide maintenance over a stated period. Revenues for maintenance billed on an hourly basis are recognized as the services are performed or upon expiration of the service contract. Revenues from implementation and training services are recognized as the services are provided. Advance payments for these services are deferred and revenue is recognized in the periods when the services are performed. Prepaid training and support services offered by the Company are generally subject to an expiration period and a restrictive returns policy.

The Company also receives commissions from vendors for transactions in which the Company essentially acts as an agent for the vendor. In these transactions, the Company does not take title to the product, have responsibility for the delivery of any services, or have risk of loss for collection. These commissions are recorded as revenue when earned.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company uses estimates to determine the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts necessary to reduce accounts receivable to its expected net realizable value. The Company estimates the amount of the required allowance by reviewing the status of past-due receivables and analyzing historical bad debt trends. Actual collection experience has not varied significantly from estimates, due primarily to credit policies, collection experience, and a lack of concentration of accounts receivable. The Company charges-off receivables deemed to be uncollectible to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable balances are not collateralized.

Cost of Product Sales

Cost of product sales includes the costs of purchasing software and hardware from suppliers and the associated shipping and handling costs.

Cost of Service Revenue

Cost of service revenue consists primarily of direct employee compensation of all service personnel, the cost of subcontracted services and direct expenses billable to customers. Cost of service revenue does not include an allocation of overhead costs.

Warranty Costs

The Company does not provide for warranty costs for its products as such costs are incurred by the manufacturer of the products.

Advertising Costs

Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertisements are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Advertising expenses, net of reimbursements from suppliers, approximated $403,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009. Advertising expenses were approximately the same as reimbursements from suppliers for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Business Segment Reporting

The Company’s operations are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker as a single segment.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Income tax expense includes income taxes currently payable and deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense, if any, consists of the taxes payable for the current period. Valuation allowances are established when the realization of deferred tax assets are not considered more likely than not.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued an update regarding multi-deliverable revenue arrangements under ASC 605. ASC 605 provides standards for the accounting for product and services sales individually and not as a whole. In addition, it requires disclosures of the arrangement, including a description, deliverables, timing of such deliverables, and methodologies to estimate the selling price. Compliance is effective for all financial statements issued on or after June 15, 2010. The Company’s adoption of ASC 815 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Previously in May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). ASC 855 establishes standards for accounting and disclosure of material events that occur after the balance sheet date and their respective evaluation dates. In February 2010, the FASB amended certain provisions of ASC 855. Disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are disclosed is no longer required effective immediately. The Company currently discloses its subsequent events within the established guidelines of ASC 855.

2. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

The Company paid interest of approximately $33,000 and $30,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively, and paid federal and state taxes of approximately $772,000 and $923,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total purchases of property and equipment were approximately $97,000 and $492,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total purchases of property and equipment included non-cash purchases of $0 and approximately $358,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

3. Borrowings Under Line of Credit

The Company maintains a line of credit from a bank that provides for up to $5 million of borrowings limited to 80% of the Company’s aggregate eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate is the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.25%, or 2.60% as of June 30, 2010. The loan expired on December 31, 2010 and was secured by all of the Company’s assets, except certain inventories. The Company made no borrowings from the bank under this credit line during fiscal year 2010 and had no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2010 and 2009. As required by its loan agreement with this bank, Avatech notified and received approval from the bank for its acquisition of Rand Worldwide, Inc. (“Rand Worldwide”) in August 2010 (see Note 15 below). Rand Worldwide maintains a line of credit with the same bank. The bank conditioned its approval on the Company’s agreement to combine the two credit facilities into a single facility within 120 days of the acquisition. The Company expects to have the new line of credit agreement completed prior to December 31, 2010, the expiration of the current agreement.

4. Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock

In June 2006 the Company issued 4,000 shares of Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Stock”) which raised $4,000,000 to pay down debt and to fund an acquisition. In connection with this issuance, the Company granted 800,000 warrants to purchase its common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.40 per share, which expired on June 12, 2010. The exercise price was reduced to $2.30 as a result of the application of anti-dilution provisions that were triggered by a subsequent private placement of common stock.

During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company redeemed the remaining 2,000 of the original 4,000 shares of Series F Stock for an aggregate redemption price of $2,000,000, plus accumulated dividends of $100,000. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had fulfilled all of its obligations to the holders of the Series F Stock.

The Series F shares had the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The shares of Series F Stock were redeemable in the event that the Company was engaged in a business combination that was approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the holders of the shares of Series F Stock had the right to require the Company to redeem up to $500,000 (in the aggregate) per quarter. The Company redeemed all of the remaining shares prior its acquisition of Rand Worldwide. The redemption price was $2.00 per share (upon conversion) plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends accrued on such shares since the original issue date. The redemption was to be made in cash or common stock, at the Company’s option. Payments in common stock were priced at a 7.5% discount to the market price at that time, and the investors were permitted to convert the amount which the Company would otherwise redeem before redemptions at the conversion price.

Voting Rights- Each holder of the Series F Shares shall vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions. Each share shall entitle the holder to one vote per share of common stock into which the preferred stock is then convertible on each such action. In addition, these holders have special voting rights in connection with certain matters, including the issuance of senior stock or debentures, certain mergers, the dissolution of the Company and any amendment to the charter or the terms of the securities that would impair their rights.

Dividend Rate- The holders of the Series F shares were entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 10% per annum when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends were paid semi-annually to holders of the Series F shares and were eligible to be paid in cash or the Company’s common stock but payments in common stock are subject to certain conditions. Payments in common stock were to be priced at a 5% discount to the market price at that time.

 

F-13


Table of Contents

Conversion Feature- The Series F shares are convertible at any time at the holders’ option. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock by multiplying the appropriate conversion rate in effect by the number of shares of preferred stock being converted. Currently, the conversion rate is 514 shares of common stock for each share of Series F; however, this rate may be adjusted due to stock splits, dividends, and other events defined in the stock purchase agreement. The Company may force the holders of the issue to convert into its common stock at any time once the market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than $5.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days.

Put Option- Beginning on July 1, 2008 and on the first business day of each calendar quarter thereafter, each holder of the Series F shares shall have the option to exercise a put option which will require the Company to purchase 12.5% of the aggregate number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock purchased.

Common Stock Warrants- Each holder of Series F shares received common stock warrants which gave the holder the right to purchase 400 shares of the Company’s common stock for each Series F share held. The exercise price of the warrants was $1.95 per share. All such warrants expired on June 12, 2010 without being exercised.

Liquidation Preference- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series F shares are entitled to receive for each share, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $1,000 per share (upon conversion) plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders are insufficient to permit the payment of the preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the preferred stockholders.

As a result of the previously-described put option, the net proceeds from the issuance of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were classified as temporary equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the terms of the issuance do not warrant classification as a liability nor as equity. The Series F shares had a $0.01 par value with 4,000 shares authorized and issued, and 2,000 shares outstanding at June 30, 2009 with an aggregate liquidation preference of $2,000,000 as of June 30, 2009.

5. Preferred Stock

The Company’s preferred stock included in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets consists of the following as of June 30, 2010 and 2009:

 

     June 30
     2010    2009

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value; 1,297,537 shares authorized and issued; and 1,089,213 shares outstanding at June 30, 2010 and 2009; aggregate liquidation preference of $654,000 at June 30, 2010 and 2009

   $ 11,000    $ 11,000

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value; 3,000 shares authorized; 1,191 shares issued; 937 shares outstanding at June 30, 2010 and 2009; aggregate liquidation preference of $937,000 at June 30, 2010 and 2009

At June 30, 2010 and 2009, 1,089,213 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding, respectively, with the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The Series D shares are redeemable in the event that the Company is engaged in a business combination that is approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Any director who holds shares of Series D is not eligible to vote on the proposed business combination. The redemption price is $0.30 (upon conversion) per share plus an

Table of Contents

amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends accrued on such shares since the original issue date. The terms of the merger with Rand Worldwide did not trigger any redemption provisions of the Series D shares.

Voting Rights- Each holder of the Series D shares shall vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions. Each share shall entitle the holder to one vote per share of common stock into which the preferred stock is then convertible on each such action. In addition, these holders have special voting rights in connection with certain matters, including the issuance of senior stock or debentures, certain mergers, the dissolution of the Company and any amendment to the charter or the terms of the securities that would impair their rights.

Dividend Rate- The holders of the Series D shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 10.0% per annum when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends are paid quarterly to preferred shareholders.

Conversion Feature- The Series D shares are convertible at any time beginning 120 days after the original issuance date at the option of the holder and automatically converts into common stock if the common stock trades for more than $2.25 per share for 60 consecutive trading days. Each Series D share is convertible into shares of common stock by multiplying the appropriate conversion rate in effect by the number of shares of preferred stock being converted. Currently, the conversion rate is two shares of common stock for each share of Series D share; however, this rate may be adjusted due to stock splits, dividends, and other events defined in the stock purchase agreement.

Liquidation Preference- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series D shares are entitled to receive for each share, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $0.60 per share plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders are insufficient to permit the payment of the preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the preferred stockholders.

In July 2005 the Company issued 1,191 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock which raised $1,191,000 for working capital purposes. In connection with this issuance, the Company granted 366,475 warrants to purchase its common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share which expired on July 29, 2008. The Series E shares have the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The Series E shares are redeemable in the event that the Company is engaged in a business combination that is approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Any director who holds shares of Series E is not eligible to vote on the proposed business combination. The redemption price is $0.65 per share (upon conversion) plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends accrued on such shares since the original issue date. The terms of the merger with Rand Worldwide did not trigger any redemption provisions of the Series E shares.

Voting Rights- Each holder of the Series E shares shall vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions. Each share shall entitle the holder to one vote per share of common stock into which the preferred stock is then convertible on each such action. In addition, these holders have special voting rights in connection with certain matters, including the issuance of senior stock or debentures, certain mergers, the dissolution of the Company and any amendment to the charter or the terms of the securities that would impair their rights.

Dividend Rate- The holders of the Series E shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 10.0% per annum when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends are paid quarterly to preferred stockholders.

Conversion Feature- The Series E shares are convertible at any time beginning 120 days after the original issuance date at the option of the holder and automatically converts into common stock if the common stock trades for more than $2.25 per share for 60 consecutive trading days. Each Series E share of

is convertible into shares of common stock by multiplying the appropriate conversion rate in effect by the number of shares of preferred stock being converted. Currently, the conversion rate is 1,538.5 shares of common stock for each share of Series E; however, this rate may be adjusted due to stock splits, dividends, and other events defined in the stock purchase agreement.

Common Stock Warrants- Each holder of Series E shares received common stock warrants which give the holder the right to purchase 307.7 shares the Company’s common stock for each Series E share held. The exercise price of the warrants was $0.65 per share and they expired on June 28, 2008.

Liquidation Preference- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series E shares are entitled to receive for each share, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $0.65 per share (upon conversion) plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders are insufficient to permit the payment of the preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the preferred stockholders.

6. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed as net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Such outstanding shares include those issued through Employee Stock Compensation Plans, Board compensation, and the exercise of stock warrants. Diluted earnings (loss) 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 stock. There is no dilutive effect on the earnings (loss) per common share during loss periods, and the dilutive effects of the common stock derivatives were not included for fiscal year 2009 as these options would have an anti-dilutive effect due to the losses of the Company. As of June 30, 2010, 4,008,018 shares of common stock were issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options, warrants and preferred stock. The following summarizes the computations of basic and diluted loss per common share:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders subsequently approved, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), under which, as amended, 2,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. As of June 30, 2010, 797,494 shares were available for future issuance.

The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Generally, each offering is of six months’ duration, but can extend as long as twenty-seven months. Eligible employees who work a minimum of 20 hours a week may purchase up to 15% of their compensation in common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair value of the common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period. Employees may purchase up to $25,000 of common stock in any calendar year under the ESPP.

As of June 30, 2010, there was no liability for employees’ ESPP withholdings, as all shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP for the year ended June 30, 2010 had been issued.

Restricted Stock Award Plan

In May 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders subsequently approved, the Avatech Solutions, Inc. Restricted Stock Award Plan, which was amended and restated on August 23, 2005 (the “Stock Plan”). Officers, directors, key employees and consultants of the Company are eligible to receive stock awards under the Stock Plan, but employees and consultants may receive grants only if they already are stockholders or hold options to purchase shares of common stock at the time of grant. Vesting for restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan may vary, but awards will generally vest based on continued service of the recipient or achievement of specific performance goals. The Company has reserved a total of 1,200,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Stock Plan and 178,801 shares were available for future issuance as of June 30, 2010.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company issued 145,773 shares of common stock to certain directors under the Stock Plan as compensation for service on the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, in accordance with the compensation agreement with the Company’s prior Chief Executive Officer, George Davis, the Company granted Mr. Davis an award of 100,000 shares of restricted stock, with 50,000 shares issued in January 2009 and the remaining 50,000 issued on July 1, 2009. All of the restricted shares were valued at quoted market prices on the date of grant and had a weighted-average fair value of $0.57 per share. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded aggregate expense of $81,000 and $118,000, respectively, for common stock grants to officers and directors.

12. Employee Benefit and Incentive Compensation Plans

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Avatech Solutions, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan, which covers substantially all employees of the Company, or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, who have attained age 21 and have completed three months of service. Participants may elect a pre-tax payroll deduction up to $16,500 (if under age 50), or $22,000 (if age 50 or older by December 31st of any calendar year). As amended, the 401(k) Plan provides that the Company will match 100% of the participant salary deferrals up to 3% of a participant’s compensation and 50% of the next 2% of a participant’s compensation, or a total possible maximum matching contribution of 4% of a participant’s compensation, for all participants. The Company may also make discretionary profit-sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan for all participants who are employed on the last day of the plan year but has not done so for the plan years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. The total amount recorded by the Company as expense during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $284,000 and $420,000, respectively.

13. Significant Supplier

Approximately 93% of the Company’s inventory purchases for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were from one vendor, and approximately 89% of accounts payable at June 30, 2010 and 2009 were due to this vendor. Approximately 93% of the Company’s total product revenues are related to this supplier’s products.

14. Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company currently has debt of $160,000 related to a capital lease at June 30, 2010. In addition, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $2,218,000. The Company’s management believes that its near-term needs can be met from its available cash resources, cash flows from operations and its line of credit.

15. Subsequent Event

On August 17, 2010, Avatech Solutions, Inc. completed its acquisition of Rand Worldwide in a reverse merger transaction, which resulted in Rand Worldwide becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. After the merger, the Company changed its name to Rand Worldwide, Inc. In connection with the merger, Rand Worldwide’s stockholders received shares of Avatech common stock representing approximately 66% of the

 

F-21


Table of Contents

outstanding shares of Avatech common stock and Avatech’s stockholders retained approximately 34% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock. When calculated based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis on August 17, 2010, the merger consideration is equal to 59.3% of the total common equivalent shares at closing. Because the shares of Avatech common stock issued to Rand Worldwide’s stockholders exceeded 50% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock outstanding immediately after the merger, Rand Worldwide was deemed, for accounting and SEC reporting purposes, to be the continuing reporting entity, and the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in Avatech’s consolidated financial statements going forward will be those of Rand Worldwide. Since Rand is deemed, for accounting purposes, to be the acquiring entity, upon consummation of the merger, there will be purchase accounting adjustments that will affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of Avatech that are currently reported at historical cost as of June 30, 2010. A Form 8-K that includes pro forma financial information is expected to be filed within 71 days after the merger date.

1.2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue to each Purchaser that number of Shares set forth opposite each Purchaser’s name on Schedule 1.

1.3. Warrants. Each Share shall be accompanied by a warrant to purchase Common Stock of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrants”).

1.4. Closing. The issuance of the Shares and Warrants under this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the time and place agreed on between the Purchaser and the Company (the “Closing Date”). At or as soon as practicable after the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser a certificate representing the number of Shares set forth opposite that Purchaser’s name on Schedule 1, against delivery to the Company of this executed Agreement, and the Purchaser will deliver the Total Purchase Price to the Company.

1.5. Covenants of the Company related to Conversion. The Company agrees, at all times from the Closing Date until all of the Shares are converted into Conversion Shares, to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the Conversion of the Shares into Conversion Shares, the number of shares of its common stock as are then required to effect the conversion of all outstanding Shares.

1.6. Covenants of the Company related to exercise of Warrants. The Company agrees, at all times from the Closing Date until all of the Warrants are exercised or have expired, to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, the number of shares of its common stock as are then required to effect the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

SECTION 2: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser as follows:

2.1. Organization, Good Standing, and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to file the Designation (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Agreement”), to issue and sell the Shares and Warrants, to carry out the provisions of the Preferred Stock Agreement, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary; except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

2.2. Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company, immediately prior to the Closing and prior to filing the Designation, consists of a total of 100,000,000 shares, of which: (a) 80,000,000 shares are Common Stock, of which              shares are issued and outstanding and              shares of which are reserved for future issuance upon the exercise of any stock options granted under the 1996, 1998, and 2002 Stock Option Plans, the Avatech Solutions, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Avatech Solutions, Inc. Restricted Stock Award Plan, and upon the exercise of outstanding warrants; and (b) 1,297,537 are designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,297,537 of which are issued and outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common and Preferred Stock (x) have been duly authorized and validly issued, (y) are fully paid and nonassessable, and (z) were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities. The

 

- 2 -


Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly and validly reserved for issuance. When issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Designation, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of any liens or encumbrances, provided, however, that the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and federal securities laws.

2.3. Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors, and stockholders necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the Designation, the performance of all obligations of the Company thereunder, and the authorization, sale, issuance, and delivery of the Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares, and Warrant Shares thereto have been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement, when executed and delivered, will be a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies, and (c) applicable law related to the enforceability of the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement. The sale of the Shares and the subsequent conversion of the Shares into Conversion Shares and the sale of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with.

2.4. Proxy Statement and Annual Report. The Company’s 2004 Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K and its Proxy Statement relating to its 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, along with the Company’s Quarterly Report for the period ending March 31, 2005 on SEC Form 10-Q, was provided to each Purchaser and are available at http://www.sec.gov.

2.5. Compliance With Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation of or default under (a) any term of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (b) any judgment, decree, order, writ or, to the Company’s knowledge, or (c) any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, which violation of or default under would materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or prospects of the Company. The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with the Preferred Stock Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares, and Warrant Shares pursuant thereto will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or non-renewal of any permit license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations, or any of its assets or properties, provided that this representation and warranty shall not include any term or provision of any financing arrangement which shall be paid or discharged in full simultaneously with the Closing.

2.6. Litigation. Except as set forth in the Annual Report, Quarterly Report, and Proxy Statement, there are no actions, suits, or legal, administrative, or other proceedings or

 

- 3 -


investigations pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened before any court, agency, or other tribunal to which the Company is a party or against or affecting any of the property, assets, businesses, or financial condition of the Company.

Except for certain filings required by federal and state securities laws, all consents, approvals, or authorizations of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations, or filings with, any federal or state governmental authority, and all consents, approvals, or authorizations of any third party required in connection with the execution of the Preferred Stock Agreement and the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the issuance and sale of the Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares, and Warrant Shares) have been obtained by the Company or shall be obtained prior to the Closing or shall be inapplicable as of the time of Closing by virtue of the simultaneous discharge of indebtedness of the Company. The Company has, or has rights to acquire, all licenses, permits, and other similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the operation or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company, and it is not in default in any material respect under any of such licenses, permits, or other similar authority.

2.8. Offering Valid. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Purchasers contained in Section 3 hereof, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares, and Warrant Shares will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and will have been registered or qualified or are exempt from registration and qualification under the registration, permit, or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

2.9. Disclosure. All information relating to or concerning the Company and its subsidiaries set forth in this Agreement or provided to the Purchasers in writing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any information contained within any of the foregoing related to future events, or the projected future financial performance of the Company, including any financial projections, or descriptions of potential strategic or business relationships between the Company and third parties.

In the event

 

- 7 -


that any Purchasers elect not to participate in such underwritten offering, the New Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities shall contain appropriate plans of distribution reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers participating in such underwritten offering and the Purchasers electing not to participate in such underwritten offering (including, without limitation, the ability of nonparticipating Purchasers to sell from time to time and at any time during the effectiveness of such New Registration Statement).

(d) In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company has the following obligations:

(i) The Company will prepare and file with the SEC, on or before 180 days following the Closing, the New Registration Statement, and will use its best efforts to cause such New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing. The Company will keep such New Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (A) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities (in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Purchasers) may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act and (B) such time as all the Registrable Securities have been sold (the “Registration Period”).

(ii) The Company will prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the New Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the New Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period and, during such period, will comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the New Registration Statement.

(iii) The Company will furnish to each Purchaser whose Registrable Securities are included in the New Registration Statement and to Purchasers’ Counsel promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of the New Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto.

- 8 -


and (C) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as such Purchaser may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Purchaser.

(iv) The Company will use its best efforts to (A) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the New Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of those jurisdictions in the United States as each Purchaser who holds Registrable Securities being offered reasonably requests, (B) prepare and file in those jurisdictions any amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the registrations or qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the registrations or qualifications during the Registration Period, (C) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (D) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in the requested jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company will not be required in connection herewith or as a condition thereto to (V) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5.1(d)(iv), (W) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (X) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (Y) provide any undertakings that cause the Company undue expense or burden, or (Z) make any change in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, which in each case the board of directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

(v) In the event that the Purchasers who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being offered in an offering select underwriters for the offering, the Company shall enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the underwriters of such offering.

(vi) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company will notify each Purchaser by telephone or facsimile of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge and as a result of which the prospectus included in the New Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and will use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the New Registration Statement to correct the untrue statement or omission and deliver the number of copies of any supplement or amendment to each Purchaser as the Purchaser may reasonably request.

(vii) The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the New Registration Statement and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of the order at the earliest practicable date (including in each case by amending or supplementing such New Registration Statement) and to notify each Purchaser who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of the order and its resolution (and if the New Registration Statement is supplemented or amended, deliver such number of copies of any supplement or amendment to each Purchaser as the Purchaser may reasonably request).

 

- 9 -


(viii) In the event of an underwritten offering, at the request of any Purchaser whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement, the Company shall furnish, on the New Registration Effective Date (A) an opinion, dated as of the New Registration Effective Date, from counsel representing the Company, addressed to the Purchaser in the form delivered to the underwriters, if any opinion is delivered to the underwriters and (B) a letter, dated as of the New Registration Effective Date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in the form delivered to the underwriters, if any such “Comfort Letter” is delivered to the underwriters.

(ix) The Company will provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the New Registration Effective Date.

(x) The Company will cooperate with the Purchasers who hold Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the New Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Purchasers may reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Purchasers may request, and, within three (3) business days after the New Registration Effective Date, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Purchasers whose Registrable Securities are included in such New Registration Statement) an opinion of such counsel that such Registrable Securities have been registered under the Securities Act and that the restrictive legends on the certificates representing such Registrable Securities may be removed.

(xi) At the request of Purchasers who hold a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, the Company will prepare and file with the SEC any amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the New Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the New Registration Statement as are necessary to change the plan of distribution set forth in the New Registration Statement.

(xii) The Company will comply with all applicable laws related to the New Registration Statement and the offer and sale of securities and all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including without limitation the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC).

(e) All reasonable expenses incurred by the Company or the Purchasers in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Section 5 (excluding brokers’ fees, underwriting discounts and commissions, and similar selling expenses), including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the fees and disbursements of Purchasers’ Counsel, not in excess of $15,000, shall be borne by the Company.

5.2. Covenants of The Purchasers Related to Registration. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Purchasers shall have the following obligations.

 

- 10 -


(a) The obligation of the Company under this Agreement to complete the registration of the Registrable Securities of a particular Purchaser is expressly conditioned on (i) the provision by the Purchaser to the Company of all information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as are reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and (ii) the execution by the Purchaser of all documents in connection with the registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) business days before the first anticipated filing date of the New Registration Statement the Company will notify each Purchaser of any information the Company requires from each such Purchaser.

(b) Each Purchaser, by the Purchaser’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the New Registration Statement, unless the Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of such Purchaser’s election to exclude all of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities from the New Registration Statement.

(c) In the event that Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being offered determine to engage the services of an underwriter, each Purchaser agrees to enter into and perform such Purchaser’s obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, indemnification and contribution obligations, with the underwriter(s) of such offering and the Company, and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of the Purchaser’s election not to participate in such underwritten distribution.

(d) A Purchaser may not participate in any underwritten distribution under this Agreement unless the Purchaser (i) agrees to sell the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in usual and customary form entered into by Company, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions and any expenses in excess of those payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5.1(d).

5.3. Mutual Indemnification Related to Registration.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify each Purchaser, its affiliates, and their officers, directors, trustees, partners, employees, advisors and agents (including brokers or dealers acting on their behalf), and each person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (i) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), any state securities or blue sky laws or any rule or regulation thereunder or (ii) any untrue or allegedly untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein or any omission or

 

- 11 -


alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission resulted from information that the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company expressly for use therein or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission that was contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final prospectus, and such seller failed to deliver a copy of the final prospectus, which was provided to seller in a timely manner and in accordance with the delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In connection with a firm or best efforts underwritten offering, to the extent customarily required by the managing underwriter, the Company will indemnify the underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls the underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act), to the extent customary in such agreements.

(b) Indemnification by Purchasers. In connection with any registration statement, each participating Purchaser will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus and each Purchaser agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, trustees, partners, employees, advisors and agents (including brokers or dealers acting on their behalf), and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, but only to the extent that the untrue or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in or omitted from any information or affidavit the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company expressly for use therein and only in an amount not exceeding the net proceeds received by the Purchaser with respect to securities sold pursuant to such registration statement. In connection with a firm or best efforts underwritten offering, to the extent customarily required by the managing underwriter, each participating Purchaser will indemnify the underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls the underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act), to the extent customary in such agreements.

(c) Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement will (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in the indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between the indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to the claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of the claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement made without its consent (but that consent may not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or will enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party (i) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the claimant’s or plaintiff’s release of the indemnified party from all liability concerning the claim or litigation or (ii) that

 

- 12 -


contains any admission of guilt on the part of any indemnified party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to or elects not to assume the defense of a claim will not be under an obligation to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for all parties indemnified by the indemnifying party with respect to the claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between the indemnified party and any other indemnified party with respect to the claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of no more than one additional counsel for the indemnified parties.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, (the “Unindemnified Losses”) then each party responsible for indemnification under Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b) shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of any Unindemnified Losses in the proportion appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the participating Purchasers in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in the Unindemnified Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the participating Purchasers will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the participating Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, and opportunity to correct the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact.

The parties to this Agreement agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant this Section 5.3(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Purchaser contributing pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the lesser of (i) the net proceeds of the offering (before deducting expenses, if any) received by that Purchaser, less the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) the proportion of the total losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses indemnified against equal to the proportion of the total amount of securities sold under such registration statement sold by the participating Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS.

6.1. Governing Law.

R.2 In connection with and as a condition to the completion of the acquisition by the Company of Rand Worldwide, Inc. (“RWW”) in a reverse merger transaction pursuant to which the Company will issue shares of its Common Stock to the sole stockholder of RWW (the “Strategic Transaction”), the Company and the Purchasers have agreed to terminate the Purchase Agreement and the related Investor Rights Agreement and to waive all rights arising thereunder prior to the date hereof, including with respect to the Strategic Transaction, pursuant to the Termination Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND COVENANTS

1. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Corporation that each of its representations and warranties made in Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 of the Purchase Agreement is true, complete and accurate in all material respects as if made on the date hereof. A copy of these representations and warranties is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

A-1


2. Acknowledgments. Each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and understands that:

(a)(i) The Additional Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any applicable State securities laws (the “State Acts”), (ii) the Corporation has not agreed to register the Additional Shares for distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the State Acts or agreed to comply with any exemption under the Act and the State Acts for the transfer of the Shares, and (iii) the Additional Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons unless registered under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

(b) By virtue of certain rules governing the resale of “restricted securities” (and each Purchaser acknowledges that the Additional Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of the rules and regulations under the Act), each Purchaser may be required to hold the Additional Shares issued to such Purchaser (the “Purchaser’s Shares”) for a period of not less than six months before any sale or other disposition of the Purchaser’s Shares may take place, and even then such Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose of the Purchaser’s Shares only upon the issuance of an opinion of counsel to the Corporation that the Purchaser’s Shares intended to be sold or disposed of may be sold or disposed of without registration under the Act or the State Acts.

(c) The Purchaser is solely responsible for compliance with the laws (including, without limitation, securities laws) of any jurisdiction outside of the United States and is not relying on the Corporation to comply with such laws.

(d) The Corporation will refuse to register any transfer of all or any portion of the Purchaser’s Shares unless made pursuant to registration under the Act or any available exemption from registration under the Act.

3. Covenants. Each Purchaser agrees that it will not take, or cause to be taken, any action with respect to the Purchaser’s Shares that would cause such Purchaser to be deemed an “underwriter” as defined in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Purchaser’s Shares unless they are registered under the Act and the securities acts of any other appropriate jurisdiction, unless an exemption from such registration is available.

4. Restrictive Legends. The Purchaser’s Shares shall bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO AVATECH SOLUTIONS, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

(b) Each provision of this letter shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid or contrary to applicable law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect the remaining portions of this letter.

(c) Paragraph titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this letter as set forth in the text.
