NUMEREX CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2010
(UNAUDITED)


NOTE A – BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.  For further information, refere nce is also made to Numerex Corp.’s (the “Company’s”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the consolidated financial statements contained therein.

Numerex Corp. (NASDAQ: NMRX) is the single source machine-to-machine (M2M) product and service provider to some of the world's largest organizations delivering the foundational components of device, network, and application, used by its customers in the development of their M2M solutions.

The Company's offerings and expertise enable its customers to build secure solutions that are used to monitor and manage assets remotely whenever and wherever needed, while simplifying and speeding up development and deployment.

"Machines Trust Us(R)" represents the Company's focus on M2M data security, service reliability, and round-the-clock support of its customers' M2M solutions.

The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial position of Numerex and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 
NOTE B – REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenue is generated from three sources:

·  
the supply of hardware, under non recurring agreements,
·  
the provision of services,
·  
the provision of data transportation services, under recurring or multi-year contractually based agreements.

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the hardware or service has been delivered, fees and prices are fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable and when all other significant obligations have been fulfilled.

The Company recognizes revenue from hardware sales at the time of shipment and passage of title. Provision for rebates, promotions, product returns and discounts to customers is recorded as a reduction in revenue in the same period that the revenue is recognized. The Company offers customers the right to return hardware that does not function properly within a limited time after delivery. The Company continuously monitors and tracks such hardware returns and records a provision for the estimated amount of such future returns, based on historical experience and any notification received of pending returns. While such returns have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same return rates that it has experienced in the past. Any significant increase in hardware failure rates and the resulting credit returns could have a material adverse impact on operating results for the period or periods in which such returns materialize. The Company recognizes revenue from the provision of services at the time of the completion, delivery or performance of the service. In the case of revenue derived from maintenance services the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the contract term. In certain instances the Company may, under an appropriate agreement, advance charge for the service to be provided. In these instances the Company recognizes the advance charge as deferred revenue (classified as a liability) and releases the revenue ratably over future periods in accordance with the contract term as the service is completed, delivered or performed. The Company’s revenues in the consolidated statement of operations are net of sales taxes.
The Company recognizes revenue from the provision of data transportation services when it performs the services or processes transactions in accordance with contractual performance standards. Revenue is earned monthly on the basis of the contracted monthly fee and an excess message fee charge, should it apply, that is volume based. In certain instances the Company may, under an appropriate agreement, advance charge for the data transport service to be provided. In these instances the Company recognizes the advance charge (even if nonrefundable) as deferred revenue (classified as a liability) and releases the revenue over future periods in accordance with the contract term as the data transport service is delivered or performed.

The Company’s arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. However, for those arrangements that include multiple deliverables, the Company first determines whether each service, or deliverable, meets the separation criteria of ASC Subtopic 605-25, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13.  For hardware elements that contain software, the Company determines whether the hardware and software function together to provide the element’s core functionality.  The majority of the Company’s elements meet this definition, and therefore the Company follows the guidance in ASC Subtopic 605-25 to determine the amount to allocate to each element.  The guidance in ASC Subtopic 605-25 provides a hierarchy of evide nce to determine the selling price for each element in the order of (1) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), (2) third-party evidence (“TPE”), and (3) management’s best estimate.  The Company currently determines the amount to allocate to each element based on VSOE.

For transactions including multiple deliverables where software elements do not function together with hardware to provide an element’s core functionality, the Company follows the guidance in ASC Subtopic 985-605, as amended by ASU 2009-14, which requires the establishment of VSOE, to determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as separate elements and the amount to allocate to each element.

The Company may provide multiple services under the terms of an arrangement and are required to assess whether one or more units of accounting are present. Service fees are typically accounted for as one unit of accounting as fair value evidence for individual tasks or milestones is not available. The Company follows the guidelines discussed above in determining revenues; however, certain judgments and estimates are made and used to determine revenues recognized in any accounting period. If estimates are revised, material differences may result in the amount and timing of revenues recognized for a given period.

For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the condensed consolidated financial statements contained therein.

 NOTE E – NOTES PAYABLE

On May 30, 2006, the Company completed a private placement to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) of (i) a convertible term note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (“Note A”) (ii) a non-convertible term note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (“Note B”), and (iii) a warrant  to purchase up to 241,379 shares of our common stock.  Interest accrued on each of the notes at a rate of 9.75% annually.  Both notes had four year terms and were secured by substantially all of our assets.  The fair value of the warrant associated with Note A and Note B on May 30, 2006 was $846,000 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes fair value pricing model.  
  
As of December 31, 2009, Note A had been fully repaid.  In January 2010, the Company fully repaid Note B.
The Company’s notes payable was zero balance at June 30, 2010.

In consideration of the above private placements and other private placements for term notes, the Company issued to Laurus warrants to purchase our common stock, the terms of which are summarized as follows:

On May 4, 2010, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank. The Agreement provides the Company with a revolving credit facility up to $5.0 million (the “Credit Facility”).  The Credit Facility has a maturity date of May 2013and includes a sublimit of up to $1.5 million for letters of credit, cash management and foreign exchange services. The interest rate applicable to amounts drawn from the Credit Facility is, at the Company’s option, equal to either (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Agreement) or (ii) the sum of the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus a LIBOR rate margin of 2.75%. The Credit Facility includes an annual fee of 0.375% of the average unused portion and is secured by all of the Company’s p ersonal property, other than its intellectual property.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company had no borrowings on the Credit Facility.   

NOTE F – INCOME TAXES

 INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.  Effective January 1, 2007, the Company implemented ASC 740 Subtopic 10 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”.  ASC 740 Subtopic 10 was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

In the second quarter, the Company recorded a benefit of $8,000 related to unrecognized tax benefits, resulting in a year-to-date provision of $14,000. As of June 30, 2010, the Company anticipates it will have $415,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, which is included in current liabilities, inclusive of interest and penalties of $132,000 as of December 31, 2010, all of which would impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. The Company anticipates recording $14,000 of unrecognized tax benefits for the year ending December 31, 2010, consisting entirely of interest on uncertain tax positions existing at January 1, 2010 for state and local income taxes. This increase in liability would impact the company's effective tax rate if recognized. The Company also anticipates recording a decrease in liability for unrecogniz ed tax benefits due to expiration of the typical scope of examination under certain state administrative practices for the year ending December 31, 2010 of $75,000, inclusive of interest and penalties of $22,000 and $14,000, respectively. The decrease in liability will impact the Company's effective tax rate.

The Company recorded a tax provision of $14,000 for the six months ended June, 2010 as compared to a tax provision of $65,000 for the six months ended June, 2009 representing effective tax rates of 3.71% and (2.7)%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 34% federal statutory rate in both the six months ending June 30, 2010 and the six months ending June 30, 2009 resulted primarily from the Company's valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets, the amortization of goodwill and state tax accruals related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The IRS has been conducting an examination of the Company’s 2007 tax year. Finalization of this examination occurred during the first quarter and resulted in AMT expense of $7,902, including $639 of interest. Settlement of the examination resulted in a decrease to the NOL and a corresponding decrease to the valuation allowance of $290,524.

The Company files U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitation. The 2006 through 2008 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities. However, certain returns from years in which net operating losses have arisen are still open for examination by the tax authorities.


NOTE G – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION                                                                                                           
 
 
Share-based compensation was $225,000 and $252,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $488,000 and $546,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  At June 30, 2010, there was approximately $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based awards.  Generally, this expense will be recognized over the next four years and will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated forfeitures.

The Company has outstanding stock options granted pursuant to two stock option plans, the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”), which was adopted in 1999 and the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) which was adopted in 2006.  The 1999 Plan was terminated and replaced by the 2006 Plan. Options outstanding under the 1999 Plan remain in effect, but no new options may be granted under that plan.  Options issued under the 2006 Plan and the 1999 Plan typically vest ratably over a four-year period. 

On May 21, 2010 the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), to (a) increase the maximum aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan from 750,000 shares to 1,500,000 shares (in each case prior to taking into account provisions under the 2006 Plan allowing shares that were available under the Company’s predecessor stock incentive plan as of its termination date (and shares subject to options granted under the predecessor plan that expire or terminate without having been fully exercised) to be available again for issuance under the 2006 Plan) and (b) permit stock appreciation rights, settled in shares, to be issued under the 2006 Plan.

Under the 2006 Plan, a recipient of a SAR is generally entitled to receive, upon exercise and without payment to the Company (but subject to required tax withholdings), that number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise not to exceed the number of Shares subject to the portion of the SAR exercised, multiplied by an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise of the SAR over (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of the SAR (or such amount in excess of the Fair Market Value per Share as the Administrator may specify). The terms and conditions applicable to a SAR (including upon termination or change in the status of employment or service of the recipient with the Company and its s ubsidiaries) shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement applicable to the SAR.  Each SAR shall expire within a period of not more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

The fair value of share-based payment awards is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as management’s assumptions. These variables include, but are not limited to; the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.  Stock option grants in the table below include both stock options, all of which were non-qualified, and stock appreciation rights (SAR) that will be settled in Numerex stock.  The key assumptions used in the valuation model during the six months ended June 30, 2010 are provided below:< /font>

Expected term (years)

NOTE H – INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per common share available to common shareholders is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents.  For periods in which we have net earnings, we base diluted net earnings per share on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, such as dilutive employee stock options.
 
The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for each period is the same as net income (loss). The denominator is based on the number of common shares as shown in the following table:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the effect of 1,335,747 outstanding stock options;  265,796 outstanding SARS and 865,941 outstanding warrants, was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, all outstanding stock options, and warrants were excluded from the loss per share computation due to their anti-dilutive effect.

In connection with the acquisition of the assets of Orbit One Communications, the Company issued an additional 1,250,596 shares of the Company’s common stock.  These shares are currently held in escrow for the benefit of Orbit One or Numerex, as their interest may appear in the future, and are not included in the basic and diluted share calculation.  The shares could be released depending on the outcome of the litigation described in Note L below.

 
NOTE I – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of their short maturity.  

NOTE J – LIQUIDITY

The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating requirements over at least the next twelve months.  This belief could be affected by future operating earnings that are lower than expectations or a material change in the Company’s operating business, including but not limited to, a significant change in the rate of growth of our services and products, the impact of any significant acquisitions or transactions or a change in strategy or product development plans.

 NOTE K - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 In January 2010, we adopted the new accounting guidance related to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition.  This guidance, which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010  with early adoption permitted, modifies the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable.  Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as there was no change in the units of accounting, the methods used to allocate arrangement consideration to each unit of accounting, or the pattern and timing of revenue recognition.  Additionally, there was no change to reported revenues or net income as a result of this early adoption.

In January 2010, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the FASB which amends the evaluation criteria to identify the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, or VIE, and requires ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The new guidance significantly changes the consolidation rules for VIEs including the consolidation of common structures, such as joint ventures, equity method investments and collaboration arrangements and is applicable to all new and existing VIEs. Adoption of this new accounting guidance did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the FASB which amends the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers.  Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements), which will be effective during the first quarter of  2011. The adoption of this new guidance did not and will not hav e a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


NOTE L – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, Orbit One Communications, Inc. (“Orbit One) and David Ronsen (“Ronsen) filed an action against Numerex in New York State Supreme Court, County of New York, alleging, inter alia, breach of contract in frustrating Orbit One’s ability to achieve earn out targets in the acquisition and employment agreements.   Plaintiffs are claiming $11 million in damages, plus interest, attorney’s fees and punitive damages.   Numerex has filed counterclaims against the plaintiffs for fraud, theft of trade secrets and confidential information and breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement; and against Messrs. Ronsen, Naden and Rosenzweig for breach of their fiduciary duties and duty of loyalty to Numerex, as well as breach of their respective Severance Agreements.  Numerex is claiming $5 million in damages, plus interest, attorney’s fees and punitive damages. On March 12, 2010, the Court entered a decision on the cross-motions for summary judgment.  The Court dismissed Orbit One and Mr. Ronsen’s claims of breach of the APA for lack of corporate support, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment, as well as Messrs. Rosenzweig and Naden’s claim of tortious interference with prospective economic advantage.  The Court held that Mr. Ronsen’s claim that he had “good reason” to resign presented material issues of fact requiring a trial.  Similarly, the Court held that Numerex’s claims against Orbit One and its principals for breach of contract, breach of representations and warranties, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, setoff, misappropriation, conversion and indemnification presente d material issues of fact requiring a trial, while dismissing Numerex’s claim for violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.  No trial date has been set.  Numerex believes that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to defend against the allegations and to vigorously pursue its counterclaims.

NOTE M – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Information

The Company has two reportable operating segments.  These segments are M2M Services and Wireline Services.  The M2M Services segment is made up of all our cellular and satellite machine-to-machine communications hardware and services.  The Wireline Services segment includes our networking hardware and services, video conferencing hardware, and our wire-line security detection hardware.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). While the CEO is apprised of a variety of financial metrics and information, the Company’s business is principally managed on a segment basis, with the CEO evaluating performance based upon segment operating profit or loss that includes an allocation of common expenses, but excludes certain unallocated expenses. The CEO does not view segment results below operating profit (loss) before
unallocated costs, and therefore unallocated expenses, interest income and other, net, and the provision for income taxes are not broken out by segment. Items below segment operating profit/(loss) are reviewed on a consolidated basis.

Summarized below are the Company’s unaudited revenues and operating earnings (loss) by reportable segment:

Item 2.                        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-looking Statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include, among other things, forward-looking statements with respect to our future financial or business performance, conditions or strategies and other financial and business matters, including expectations regarding growth trends and activities in the wireless data business. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "assume," "strategy," "plan," "outlook," "outcome," "continue," "remain," "trend," and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "may," or similar expressions. We caution that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we assume no duty to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.
 
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: our inability to reposition our platform to capture greater recurring service revenues; the risks that a substantial portion of revenues derived from government contracts may be terminated by the government at any time; variations in quarterly operating results; delays in the development, introduction, integration and marketing of new wireless services; customer acceptance of services; economic conditions resulting in decreased demand for our products and services; the risk that our strategic alliances and partnerships will not yield substantial revenues; changes in financial and capital markets, and the inability to raise growth capital; the inability to attain revenue and ea rnings growth in our wireless data business; changes in interest rates; inflation; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies; competitive conditions; the inability to realize revenue enhancements; disruption in key supplier relationships and/or related services; and extent and timing of technological changes. Our SEC reports identify additional factors that can affect forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.  This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited financial statements and the accompanying notes to the unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010.

Net sales increased 18% to $14.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $12.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Net sales increased 11% to $27.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $25.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of an increase in our service sales.

While our overall business has grown, general economic uncertainty and poor conditions in the housing and auto markets may reduce our future growth. We believe that our pipeline of future sales opportunities remains solid.  We are increasingly proposing complete M2M solutions to our customers that incorporate Numerex DNATM – Device, Network & Application.  We have tightened our credit policies in response to the economic climate, in particular to our hardware-only sales, which may impact revenues for the balance of the year but has also reduced our bad debt expense.

We recognized an operating income of $384,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to an operating loss of $422,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  We recognized an operating income of $429,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to an operating loss of $1.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

We recognized net income of $387,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $792,000, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  We recognized net income of $356,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or ($0.18) per basic and diluted share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The MD&A is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities during the periods reported.  Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as deferred revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation or amortization periods, income taxes and valuation of intangible assets.  We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.  There can be no as surance that actual results will not differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
 
Goodwill and certain intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to an annual impairment test, and more frequently, if events or circumstances occur that would indicate a potential decline in our fair value.  An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.  As of December 31, 2009, we identified four reporting units, 3 of which had associated goodwill.  The four reporting units were M2M Services (which excludes Orbit One LLC), Orbit One LLC (“Orbit One”), BNI and Wireline Services.  The three reporting units with associated goodwill were M2M Services, Orbit One, LLC and Wireline Services.  Due to the consolidation of our hardware management and network platforms in late 2008, we no longer maintained separate reporting for Airdesk and M2M Services, and thus combined the Airdesk reporting unit with M2M Services (excluding Airdesk LLC and Orbit One LLC) reporting unit beginning January 1, 2009.  For our 2009 annual impairment test, we used standard modeling techniques to estimate a fair market value for each of the three reporting units containing goodwill.  This included a combination of discounted cash flow models and, where available, the use of public company market comparables in similar industries.  We used historical information, our 2010 business plan and expected future development projects to prepare nine year financial projections used in the discounted cash flow analysis for each of the reporting units.

The growth rate assumptions used in our most recent annual impairment test were consistent with operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and no events or circumstances occurred that would require us to perform an interim impairment test for these same periods.

A summary of the critical assumptions utilized for our impairment tests are outlined below. We believe this information provides relevant information to understand our goodwill impairment testing and evaluate our goodwill balances.

As of June 30, 2010, a breakdown of our goodwill balance by reporting unit is as follows:

During 2009, we did not record a goodwill impairment charge.  In determining whether an impairment charge was necessary, we considered economic conditions, which we expected to improve in 2010 and subsequently return to more normal levels, as compared to general economic conditions of 2009.

For our M2M Services (excluding Orbit One) reporting unit, we use a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value and a 21% discount rate, as this reporting unit’s risks mirror that of the Company as a whole.  Our historical revenue growth rate averaged 17% over the past four years.   We use a more conservative revenue growth rate than our historical growth rate in this reporting unit, as we expect the market to mature.  We expect our margins to remain at the historical four year average of 42% for this reporting unit for the forecast period.  The growth rates used for SG&A and R&D are expected lower than that of our historical growth rates as we built out a new internal service sales team which would not occur in future periods.  Depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures are kept at historic run rates.  We used historical accounts receivable as a percentage of sales, inventory as a percentage of cost of sales and accounts payable as a percentage of cost of sales to determine the projected changes in working capital requirements.  

Based upon our goodwill impairment analysis conducted in the fourth quarter of 2009, a hypothetical reduction in the fair value of  our M2M Services (excluding Orbit One) reporting unit of  14.2%, would have resulted in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding its fair value and thus require a Step 2 analysis and possible impairment.  Over the forecast period, this means that our cumulative projected revenues would have to decrease by 4% (representing a proportional decrease in our average growth rate of 7% over the forecast period), or our cumulative projected profitability would have to decrease by 12%.  A 1.9% increase to the discount rate that we applied also would have resulted in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding its fair value.

We believe that our cash flow analysis was appropriate as our projections took the present challenging economic environment into account and are consistent with our current operating results.

            In our Orbit One reporting unit, we used a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value as we cannot determine any market comparables for this unit.  We used a 21% discounted rate as this reporting unit’s risks mirrored that of the Company as a whole.  A combination of existing contractual agreements and targeting of specific industries is used to determine the first year’s revenue growth rate, the following years’ revenue growth rates are based on expected industry growth rates.  Margins are projected to decline as a combination of expected pricing pressures in the market and lower margin hardware sales are expected to make up a larger portion of total reve nues versus higher margin service sales.  SG&A expenses are forecasted to increase in the first year as the result of a build out of necessary sales support to meet projected revenue targets then the SG&A growth are expected to moderate for the balance of the forecast period.  Depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures are kept at historic run rates.  We used historical accounts receivable as a percentage of sales, inventory as a percentage of cost of sales and accounts payable as a percentage of cost of sales to determine the projected changes in working capital requirements.  

Based upon our goodwill impairment analysis conducted in the fourth quarter of 2009, a hypothetical reduction in the fair value of  our Orbit One reporting unit of  9.4%, would have resulted in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding its fair value and thus require a Step 2 analysis and possible impairment.  Over the forecast period, this means that our cumulative projected revenues would have to decrease by 3% (representing a proportional decrease in our average growth rate of 4% over the forecast period), or our cumulative projected profitability would have to decrease by 8%.  A 1.0% increase to the discount rate that we applied also would have resulted in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding its fair value.

In our BNI reporting unit, we used a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and use of public company market comparables to determine the fair value.  Since this reporting unit’s revenues mostly result from government related contracts, the revenue can fluctuate significantly from year to year and over our forecast period.  Taking this into consideration, we used two cash flow models for this reporting with two possible revenue streams over the forecast period.   We then applied a weighting to each outcome to determine the unit’s fair value on a discounted cash flow basis.   We used the company’s overall 21% discount rate as we accounted for this units fluctuating revenue by weighting two separate cash flow models.  We gave the combination of these cash flow models greater weighting totaling 90% with the balance on the market comparables since we only had a limited number of market comparables.  In the first year of the forecast combined weighted revenues increase over the forecast period over 2009, but do not grow over 2008 revenue levels until 2011 and for the balance of the forecast period.   This growth is the result of the completion of new product development projects currently in process, and new contracts.  Weighted combined margins were projected to decline due to changes in the mix of hardware and service sales and expected pricing pressures.  SG&A expenses are forecast to decrease in the first year as the result of cost reductions planned and returning to historical growth rates.  Depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures are kept at historic run rates.  We used historical accounts receivable as a percentage of sales, our sales growth rate for inventory and accounts pay able as a percentage of cost of sales to determine the projected changes in working capital requirements.  The combination of all these factors determined our cash flow growth rates.   For the market comparables, we used a combination of EBITDA and sales ratio’s to determine fair value.

Based upon our goodwill impairment analysis conducted in the fourth quarter of 2009, a hypothetical reduction in the fair value of  our BNI reporting unit of  63%, would have resulted in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding its fair value and thus require a Step 2 analysis and possible impairment.  Over the forecast period, this means that our cumulative projected revenues would have to decrease by 44%, or our cumulative projected profitability would have to decrease by 44%.  A 46% increase to the discount rate that we applied also would have resulted in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding its fair value.

Additionally, the sum of the fair value of all our reporting units was less than our market capital at December 31, 2009, indicating that our projections were reasonable and not aggressive.

Revenue Recognition

In January 2010, we adopted the new accounting guidance related to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition.  This guidance, which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010  with early adoption permitted, modifies the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable.  Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We summarize our revenue recognition policies in Note B to the accompanying financial statements.

Service net sales from M2M Services increased 14% to $7.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $6.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Service net sales from M2M Services increased 18% to $15.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $13.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  The increase is primarily due to subscription increases which were generated by sales of our security hardware, as well as by end users and value added resellers who utilize our network to provide customer solutions. Our wireless subscriptions at June 30, 2010 increased 26% to 1,029,000, as compared to 811,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  We continue to focus on increasing subscriptions to our network due to the recurring n ature of the service revenues.

Net sales from Wireline Services decreased 22% to $765,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $986,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Net sales from Wireline Services decreased 23% to $1.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Hardware sales from Wireline Services decreased 4% to $186,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $193,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.    Hardware sales from Wireline Services decreased 12% to $261,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $297,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in sales of our interactive videoconferencing hardware (PowerPlay), which is sold directly and indirectly to distance-learning customers. Capital spending by targeted distance learning customers is largely funded by government entities and, as a result, is difficult to predict and can fluctuate significantly from period to period.  The budget reductions effected by state and local governm ent entities have contributed to reduced demand for PowerPlay.

Service net sales from Wireline Services service revenues decreased 27% to $579,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $793,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Service net sales from Wireline Services service revenues decreased 25% to $1.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Our installation and integration services are primarily, either directly or indirectly, provided to large wireline and wireless telecommunication companies.  The decrease for both periods is primarily due to a decrease in demand for these services.

General and administrative expenses decreased 18% to $2.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $3.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  General and administrative expenses decreased 30% to $4.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $7.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily the result of a $167,000 decrease in legal fees, a $100,000 decrease in employee related costs, a $14,000 decrease in professional service fees and a $270,000 increase in certain general and administrative costs that are allocated to sales and marketing and engineering and development.  The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily the result of a $1.1 million decrease in legal fees, a $200,000 decrease in employee related costs, a $170,000 decrease in professional service fees and a $437,000 increase in certain general and administrative costs that are allocated to sales and marketing and engineering and development.
 
    Engineering and development expenses increased 20% to $780,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $651,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Engineering and development expenses increased 18% to $1.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily the result of a $79,000 increase in professional fees and a $47,000 increase in expenses related to new product testing and certifications.  The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily the result of a $79,000 increase in professional fees and a $55,000 increase in expenses related to new product testing and certifications and a $35,000 increase in employee related expenses.

Bad debt expense decreased 21% to $107,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $136,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.   Bad debt expense decreased 44% to $164,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $291,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.   The decrease in both periods is primarily due to the tighter credit controls implemented in late 2008, particularly with regard to our hardware-only customer sales.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 2% to $860,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $844,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased 6% to $1.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Interest expense, net decreased 99% to $5,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $343,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Interest expense, net decreased 97% to $19,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $690,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  The reduced expense is the result of a lower amount of outstanding principle on the Company’s debt.  In January 2010, all outstanding principle and interest were repaid on the Company’s outstanding debt.

We recorded a tax benefit of $8,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to tax expense of $28,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.  We recorded tax expense of $14,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to tax expense of $65,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had working capital of $10.2 million as of June 30, 2010 and $9.3 million as of December 31, 2009.  We had cash balances of $7.5 million and $5.3 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
The following table shows information about our cash flows and liquidity positions during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. You should read this table and the discussion that follows in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows contained in “Item 1. Financial Statements” in Part I of this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

We provided cash from operating activities totaling $4.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $4.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily due to the current period net income over the prior period net loss, the decrease in inventory and increase in accounts payable and deferred revenues, partially offset by the increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

We used cash in investing activities totaling $1.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.   The increase was primarily due to the purchase of intangible and other assets.

We used cash in financing activities totaling $588,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to the decreased debt principal payments for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

On May 4, 2010, we entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”).  The terms of the Agreement provide that SVB will, among other things, make revolving credit advances  up to an aggregate of $5 million (the “Credit Facility”), subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Agreement.  The Credit Facility also includes a sublimit of up to $1.5 million for letters of credit, cash management and foreign exchange services. The interest rate applicable to amounts drawn from the Credit Facility is, at our option, equal to either (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Agreement) or (ii) the sum of the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus a LIBOR rate margin of 2.75%.  The Credit Facility inc ludes an annual fee of 0.375% of the average unused portion of the credit facility.

All unpaid principal and accrued interest is due and payable in full on May 4, 2013, which is the maturity date.  Our obligations under the SVB Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, excluding any intellectual property.  We also agreed not to encumber our intellectual property during the term of the Credit Facility without the prior written consent of SVB.  The Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type.  In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants customary with this type of facility, including maintaining a minimum EBITDA and a minimum adjusted quick ratio. The Agreement contains customary events of default.  If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicabl e cure period or is not waived, our obligations under the Credit Facility may be accelerated.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2010 and, as of that date, we had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit.

           Our business has traditionally not been capital intensive; accordingly, capital expenditures have not been material.  To date, we have funded all capital expenditures from working capital, capital leases and other long-term obligations.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s notes payable balance was zero.  

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating requirements over at least the next twelve months.  This belief could be affected by future operating earnings that are lower than expectations or a material change in our operating business, including but not limited to, a significant change in the rate of growth of our services and products, the impact of any significant acquisitions or transactions or a change in strategy or product development plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.


Item 3.                        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.

The market risk in our financial instruments represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in financial rates. We are exposed to market risk in the area of interest rates. These exposures are directly related to our normal funding and investing activities.
 
Item 4.                        Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010.  The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the period ended June 30, 2010, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.

As previously reported, Orbit One Communications, Inc. (“Orbit One) and David Ronsen (“Ronsen”) filed an action against Numerex in New York State Supreme Court, County of New York, alleging, inter alia, breach of contract in frustrating Orbit One’s ability to achieve earn out targets in the acquisition and employment agreements.   Plaintiffs are claiming $11 million in damages, plus interest, attorney’s fees and punitive damages.   Numerex has filed counterclaims against the plaintiffs for fraud, theft of trade secrets and confidential information and breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement; and against Messrs. Ronsen, Na den and Rosenzweig for breach of their fiduciary duties and duty of loyalty to Numerex, as well as breach of their respective Severance Agreements.  Numerex is claiming $5 million in damages, plus interest, attorney’s fees and punitive damages. On March 12, 2010, the Court entered a decision on the cross-motions for summary judgment.  The Court dismissed Orbit One and Mr. Ronsen’s claims of breach of the APA for lack of corporate support, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment, as well as Messrs. Rosenzweig and Naden’s claim of tortious interference with prospective economic advantage.  The Court held that Mr. Ronsen’s claim that he had “good reason” to resign presented material issues of fact requiring a trial.  Similarly, the Court held that Numerex’s claims against Orbit One and its principals for breach of contract, breach of representations and warranties, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, setoff, m isappropriation, conversion and indemnification presented material issues of fact requiring a trial, while dismissing Numerex’s claim for violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.  No trial date has been set.  Numerex believes that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to defend against the allegations and to vigorously pursue its counterclaims.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors.

For information regarding factors that could affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussion set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as previously filed with the SEC, and the information under “Forward-Looking Statements” included in this report.  Except as set forth below, at June 30, 2010, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Our Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, contains financial and operating restrictions that may limit our access to credit.  If we fail to comply with covenants in the SVB Credit Facility, we may be required to repay our indebtedness thereunder, which may have an adverse effect on our liquidity.
 
 
        Provisions in the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with SVB impose restrictions on our ability to, among other things:
 
• incur additional indebtedness;
•create liens;
•enter into transactions with affiliates;
•transfer assets;
•pay dividends or make distributions on, or repurchase our stock; or
•merge or consolidate.

In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants and  ratios customary with this type of credit facility. The SVB Credit Facility also contains other customary covenants.  We may not be able to comply with these covenants in the future. Our failure to comply with these covenants may result in the declaration of an event of default and could cause us to be unable to borrow under the SVB credit facility. In addition to preventing additional borrowings under the SVB Credit Facility, an event of default, if not cured or waived, may result in the acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness outstanding under the SVB Credit Facility, which would require us to pay all amounts outstanding.  If an event of default occurs, we may not be able to cure it within any applicable cure period, if at all.  ; If the maturity of our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available for repayment or we may not have the ability to borrow or obtain sufficient funds to replace the accelerated indebtedness on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

WHEREAS, each Borrower has requested that Bank establish the loan arrangement as set forth herein; and
 
WHEREAS, each Borrower requests that as a convenience to that Borrower, such loans as may be made hereunder shall be directed to Numerex which will, in turn, distribute the proceeds thereof to the respective Borrower;
 
NOW THEREFORE, as an additional inducement for Bank to establish the loan arrangement and to direct such loans as may be made hereunder to Numerex as described above, each Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:
 
1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
 
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP.  Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP.

2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
 
2.1 Promise to Pay.  Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
 
2.1.1 Revolving Advances.
 
(a) Availability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount.  Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.
 
(b) Termination; Repayment.  The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.
 
2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.
 
(a) As part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency for Borrower’s account.  The aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount utilized for the issuance of Letters of Credit shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line.  The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed the lesser of (A) One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), minus (i) the sum of all amounts used for Cash Management Services, and minus (ii) the FX Reduct ion Amount, or (B) the lesser of Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), and minus (ii) the FX Reduction Amount.
 
(b) If, on the Revolving Line Maturity Date (or the effective date of any termination of this Agreement), there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% ( if the letter of credit is denominated in U.S. Dollars) or  105% (if the letter of credit is denominated in a Foreign Currency) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.  All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application”).  Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.  Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions in good faith or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto (except for Bank’s gross negligence or wil lful misconduct).
 
(c) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.
 
(d) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency.  If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges).
 

 
 
  33

 
 
(e) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit.  The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate.  The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.
 
2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit.  As part of the Revolving Line, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”).  FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (th e “FX Reserve”).  The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the lesser of (A) One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), minus (i) the sum of all amounts used for Cash Management Services, and minus (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), or (B) the lesser of Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), and minus (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve).  The amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by an amount equal to te n percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reduction Amount”).  Any amounts needed to fully reimburse Bank for any amounts not paid by Borrower in connection with FX Forward Contracts will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.
 
2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.  Borrower may use the Revolving Line for Bank’s cash management services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management Services”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), minus (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Lett ers of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), and minus (ii) the FX Reduction Amount, or (B) the lesser of Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances, minus (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), and minus (iii) the FX Reduction Amount.  Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.
 
2.2 Overadvances.  If, at any time, the sum of (a) the outstanding principal amount of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), plus (b) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), plus (c) the FX Reduction Amount exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days of receipt of written notice from Bank, pay to Bank in cash such excess.
 
2.3 General Provisions Relating to the Credit Extensions.  Each Credit Extension shall, at Borrower’s option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be either in the form of a Prime Rate Credit Extension or a LIBOR Credit Extension; provided that in no event shall Borrower maintain at any time LIBOR Credit Extension having more than two (2) different Interest Periods.  Borrower shall pay interest accrued on the Credit Extensions at the rates and in the manner set forth in Section 2.4.
 
2.4 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.
 
(a) Computation of Interest.  Interest on the Credit Extensions and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which such interest accrues.  In computing interest on any Credit Extension, the date of the making of such Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

(b) Credit Extensions.  Each Credit Extension shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made, continued or converted until paid in full at a floating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate or the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, as the case may be.  On and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Credit Extension outstanding on the date of occurrence of an Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations, the Effective Amount of such LIBOR Credit Extension shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus five percent (5.0%).  Pursuant to the terms hereof, interest on each Credit Extension shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.  Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Credit Extension pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of any Credit Extension so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof.  All accrued but unpaid interest on the Credit Extensions shall be due and payable on the Revolving Line Maturity Date.
 
(c) Default Interest.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4(b), upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest five percent (5.00%) above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default (the “Default Rate”).  Payment or acceptance of the increased interest provided in this Section 2.4(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.
 
(d) Prime Rate Credit Extensions.  Each change in the interest rate of the Prime Rate Credit Extensions based on changes in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to the extent of such change.  Bank shall use its best efforts to give Borrower prompt notice of any such change in the Prime Rate; provided, however, that any failure by Bank to provide Borrower with notice hereunder shall not affect Bank’s right to make changes in the interest rate of the Prime Rate Credit Extensions based on changes in the Prime Rate.
 
(e) LIBOR Credit Extensions.  The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Credit Extension shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder.  Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.7, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extension, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extension.
 
(f) Debit of Accounts.  Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, (i) for principal and interest payments when due, or (ii) upon notice for any other amounts (less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)) Borrower owes Bank when due, or (iii) upon prior written notice for any other amounts (in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)) Borrower owes Bank when due.  These debits shall not constitute a set-off.
 
(g) Interest Payment Date.  Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month.
 
2.5 Fees.  Borrower shall pay to Bank:
 
(a) Commitment Fee.  A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) shall be earned as of the Effective Date, and shall be due and payable as follows: (i) Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) on the Effective Date, (ii) Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) on the date that is one (1) year from the Effective Date, and (iii) Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) on the date that is two (2) years from the Effective Date;
 
(b) Letter of Credit Fee.  Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance or renewal of Letters of Credit, upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, each anniversary of the issuance during the term of such Letter of Credit, and upon the renewal of such Letter of Credit by Bank;
 


 
 
35 

 
 
(c) Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee.  A fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”), payable quarterly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to 0.375% percent per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank.  The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for the purposes of this calculation, shall not include amounts reserved in connection with Letters of Credit, Cash Management Services and FX Forward Contracts.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Section notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder;
 
(d) Bank Expenses.  All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due; and
 
(e) Good Faith Deposit.  Borrower has paid to Bank prior the Effective Date, a good faith deposit of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) (the “Good Faith Deposit”) to initiate Bank’s due diligence review.  Any portion of the Good Faith Deposit not utilized to pay Bank Expenses shall be applied toward the Commitment Fee.
 
2.6 Payments; Application of Payments.
 
(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due.  Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.  When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.
 
(b)           Bank shall apply the whole or any part of collected funds against the Revolving Line or, if no principal or interest is then owing under the Revolving Line, credit such collected funds to a depository account of Borrower with Bank (or an account maintained by an Affiliate of Bank).  The order and method of  application of funds with respect to principal, interest and fees owed with respect to the Revolving Line shall be made in the sole discretion of Bank.  Borrower shall have no right to specify the order of payment with respect to the Revolving Line.  Borrower shall designate the depository account to which funds shall otherwise be credited.

(a)           So long as (i) no Event of Default or Default exists; (ii) Borrower shall not have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement; and (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank:

                      (c)           If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower shall have failed to timely select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Credit Extensions into Prime Rate Credit Extensions.
 
                      (d)           Any LIBOR Credit Extensions shall, at Bank’s option, convert into Prime Rate Credit Extensions in the event that (i) an Event of Default or Default shall exist, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Credit Extensions which have been previously converted to LIBOR Credit Extensions, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Credit Extensions continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed the Revolving Line.
 
 
                      (e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Credit Extensions, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Credit Extensions.
 
 
3.6 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Credit Extensions.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Credit Extensions as to the matters covered:
 
(a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate.  As soon as practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Credit Extensions for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower.
 
(b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate.  In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Credit Extension, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Credit Extension on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Bank shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Credit Extensions m ay be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Credit Extensions until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to Credit Extensions in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.
 
(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods.  Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank (which request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including any interest paid by Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Credit Extensions and any loss, expense or liability incurred by Bank in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) such that Bank may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by Bank or due to any failure of Bank to fund LIBOR Credit Extensions due to i mpracticability or illegality under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.7(e)) a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Credit Extension does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, or (ii) if any principal payment or any conversion of any of its LIBOR Credit Extensions occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Credit Extension.
 
(d) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Credit Extensions.  Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.4 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Credit Extensions through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Credit Extension and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund each of its LIBOR Credit Extensions in any manner it sees fit and the for egoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.4.
 


 
 
39 

 
 
                      (e)           LIBOR Credit Extensions After Default.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have a Credit Extension be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Credit Extension after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Credit Extension and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deem ed a request to convert or continue Credit Extensions referred to therein as Prime Rate Credit Extensions.
 
 
3.7 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Credit Extensions.
 
(a)           If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Credit Extension prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Credit Extension, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower’s account officer at Bank and, on demand by Bank, pay Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Bank by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets, the offshore currency markets, or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may b e, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion.  Bank’s determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(b)           Borrower shall pay Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any Credit Extensions relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:
 
(i)           changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any Credit Extensions (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which Bank has its principal office);
 
(ii)           imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any Credit Extensions or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or
 
(iii)           imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).
 
Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.  Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 3.7.  Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Credit Extensions, of making or maintaining Credit Extensions, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Credit Extensions, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 


 
 
40 

 
 
(c) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction.  A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(c) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d) If, at any time, Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount of LIBOR Credit Extensions for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Credit Extensions, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower.  Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the LIBOR Credit Extensions shall terminate; provided, however, Credit Extensions shall not terminate if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Credit Extensions.
 
 
(e)           If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Credit Extensions, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Credit Extensions in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(a)).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a LIBOR Credit Extensions then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 (c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Credit Extension or to have outstanding Credit Extensions converted into or continued as Prime Rate Credit Extensions by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above.

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith.  No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given.  Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative.  Bank has all rights and remedies p rovided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.  Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
 
9.7 Demand Waiver.  Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable, except when any such notice, demand or any other of the foregoing actions are specifically provided for in this Agreement.
 
9.8 Borrower Liability.  Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions.  Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy.  Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.  If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
