BIO-KEY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2006 (Unaudited and Restated) and December 31, 2005 (Restated)

1.             BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. It is suggested that these uanaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as amended (the “Form 10-KSB”).

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2005 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss or stockholders’ equity.

2.             LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE MATTERS

Broad commercial acceptance of the Company’s technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate revenues. The Company has only recently begun to generate significant revenues, has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit.

The Company is in need of additional capital. The Company is currently considering various alternatives related to raising additional capital including new funding from other sources. No assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet its needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing shareholders.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The matters described in the preceding paragraphs raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing, meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and succeed in its future operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

3.             STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Effect of Adoption of SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company’s employee stock compensation plans were accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. Under this method, no compensation expense was recognized as long as the exercise price equaled or exceeded the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. The Company elected the disclosure-only alternative permitted under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS 148”), for fixed stock-based awards to employees.

On December 31, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of certain of the outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with option exercise prices greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on such date. The acceleration applies to all such options outstanding as of December 31, 2005 under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1999 Stock Option Plan and 2004 Stock Option Plan, except for options held by the Company’s executive officers subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Options to purchase up to 897,614 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 14% of the total shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding options, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $1.09 and varying remaining vesting schedules, are subject to this acceleration and became immediately vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2005. The number of shares, exercise prices and other term of the options subject to the acceleration remain unchanged.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with our valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term and the number of individuals that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As required under the accounting rules, we review our valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, are likely to change our valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our current estimates. Prior periods have not been restated to incorporate the stock-based compensation charge. The compensation expense recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 in connection with the adoption of SFAS 123R increased the company’s net loss by $120,567. As the Company uses the full valuation allowance with respect to deferred taxes, the adoption of SFAS123R had no impact on deferred taxes.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, 1,798,000 stock options were granted. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of our common stock; the expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options exercisable at March 31, 2006 was 3.97 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.65 as of March 31, 2006, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of March 31, 2006 was 2,118,916.

The weighted average fair value of options, as determined under SFAS No. 123R and SFAS 123, granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was $0.56 and $1.17 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was zero and $115,427, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options vested during the 3 months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.

As of March 31, 2006 future compensation cost related to nonvested stock options is approximately $1,052,000 and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 4.0 years.

4.             EARNINGS PER SHARE COMMON STOCK “EPS”

The Company’s basic EPS is calculated using net income (loss) and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible notes and preferred stock.

2004 and 2005 Senior Notes Amendment and Waiver

Effective as of January 23, 2006, BIO-key International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment and Waiver (the “Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver”) with Laurus in connection with the Secured Convertible Notes (the “Secured Notes”) currently held by Laurus.

Under the Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver, the Secured Notes issued by the Company to Laurus on September 29, 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “September 2004 Note”) and on June 7, 2005 in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “June 2005 Note”) were amended as follows: (i) the maturity date of the September 2004 Note was extended to January 1, 2008, (ii) the maturity date of the June 2005 Note was extended to December 1, 2008, and (iii) the fixed conversion price under each of the Secured Notes was reset from $1.35 to $0.85 per share. In addition, the exercise price of all warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company held by Laurus was reset to $1.00 per share.

The Company also issued 150,000 shares (the “Newly Issued Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock to Laurus in connection with the Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver. The Company granted Laurus registration rights with respect to these shares. In connection with the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares, Laurus agreed to waive the provisions of the Secured Notes regarding any adjustment of the fixed conversion price that would otherwise be triggered as a result of the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares and certain other securities which have a conversion price of $0.70 per share.

2004 and 2005 Subordinated Notes

Effective as of January 23, 2006, the Company also entered into an Amendment and Waiver (the “Subordinated Notes Amendment and Waiver”) with certain holders (“the “Subordinated Note Holders”) of its Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”).

Under the Subordinated Notes Amendment and Waiver, the Subordinated Notes issued by the Company on September 29, 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of $5,288,221 (the “September 2004 Notes”) and on May 31, 2005 in the aggregate principal amount of $3,244,723 (the “May 2005 Notes”) were amended as follows: (i) the maturity dates were extended from September 29, 2007 and May 31, 2008, respectively, to

13




 

January 1, 2009; (ii) the interest rate was fixed at fifteen percent (15%); (iii) all principal amounts are due at the maturity date and shall be paid in shares of Common Stock priced at $0.70 per share if the average closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the maturity date is greater than $1.10; (iv) interest shall be paid, at the Company’s election, in cash or shares of Common Stock, with the Common Stock priced at the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the repayment date; and (v) the currently applicable fixed conversion price was amended to $0.70 per share. In addition, the exercise price of all warrants to purchase Common Stock held by the Subordinated Note Holders that currently have an exercise price greater than $1.00 per share was reset to $1.00 per share.

2004 and 2005 Senior and Subordinated Notes

The Senior Notes’ contain features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments:  Principal’s conversion option:  The Notes are convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $0.85 per share; Monthly Payments Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Notes’ monthly payment at a $0.85 per share conversion price if the common stock price is higher than 110% of the conversion price ($0.935), as long as the amount converted is not higher than 25% of trading volume for the last 22 trading days. If the Notes’ monthly payments are not converted, the payments will be paid in cash at 102% of such amount; Interest Rate Adjustment provision:  For every 25% increase in common stock value above $0.85 per share, the interest will be reduced by 2%. The interest rate may never be reduced below 0%; Default provision: In the event of default under the terms set forth above, the Senior Lenders will be entitled to specified remedies, including remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code. These features have been bifurcated and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at their fair value.

The Subordinated Notes also include features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments:  Principal’s conversion option:  The Notes are convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $0.70 per share; Monthly Payments Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Notes’ monthly payment at a $0.70 per share conversion price if the common stock price is higher than 110% of the conversion price ($0.77), as long as the amount converted is not higher than 25% of trading volume for the last 22 trading days. If the Notes’ monthly payments are not converted, the payments will be paid in cash at 102% of such amount; Default provision: In the event of default under the terms set forth above, the unpaid principal balance on the Subordinated Convertible Notes, plus accrued interest, shall, at the note holder’s option, become immediately due and the Subordinated Investors shall be entitled to payment of additional default interest at the rate of 2.0% per annum on all amounts due under the Subordinated Convertible Notes.

The accounting treatment of the derivatives and warrants requires that the Company record the derivatives and the warrant at their relative fair value as of the inception date of the agreement, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives and warrants is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives and warrants is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. As of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, respectively, the derivatives were valued at $1,011,543 and $3,714,275. Conversion related derivatives were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 87% to 141%; and risk free annual interest rate of 2.89% to 4.8% as well as probability analysis related to trading volume restrictions. The remaining derivatives were valued using other binomial models and measuring the impact of the derivative on the expected interest payment amount over the life of the Note. The Warrants issued with the 2004 and 2005 debt financings classified as liabilities were valued at $1,394,274 and $1,483,511, as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 respectively, using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 91%-99% and risk-free interest rate of 4.8%, and dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 98% to 111%% and risk-free interest rate of 4.4%, respectively. Both the derivatives and warrants were classified as long-term liabilities.

14




 

At the time of issuance, the initial relative fair value assigned to the embedded derivatives was $3,714,589 and $2,031,414 for the 2004 and 2005 notes, respectively. The initial relative fair value assigned to the warrants was $1,912,639 and $1,233,153 for the 2004 and 2005 notes, respectively.

Both the derivatives and the warrants were recorded as discounts to the Notes and are being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt, using the effective interest method. At March 31, 2006, the unamortized discount on the Notes was $4,235,999 and $4,529,696 for 2004 and 2005 notes, respectively. The effective interest rate on the Notes for the periods ended March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 ranged between 72% and 136% based on the frequency of principal payments as well as actual payments made. At December 31, 2005, the unamortized discount on the Notes was $2,134,340 and $3,569,793 for 2004 and 2005 notes, respectively.

2006 Notes

The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), effective as of January 23,2006, with The Shaar Fund, Ltd., Longview Fund, L.P. and Longview Special Finance (collectively, the “Purchasers”).

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Purchasers Convertible Term Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, bearing interest at 15% per annum. The Convertible Notes converted into shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company on February 23, 2006, which shares are convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Company at an initial fixed conversion price of $0.70 per share.

In connection with the Purchasers’ purchase of the Notes, the Company also issued warrants to the Purchasers (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth therein) at a per share exercise price of $1.00 per share. The proceeds from this transaction will be used for general working capital purposes. The Warrants were classified as liabilities and were valued at $224,067 as of March 31, 2006, using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 98.5% and risk-free interest rate of 4.5%. The initial relative fair value assigned to the Warrants was $308,376.

The Convertible Term Notes contain features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments:  Principal’s conversion option:  The Convertible Term Note is convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $0.70 per share; Quarterly Payments Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Note’s quarterly interest payment at a $0.70 per share conversion. These features have been bifurcated and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at their fair value.

The accounting treatment of the derivatives and warrants requires that the Company record the derivatives and the warrant at their relative fair value as of the inception date of the agreement, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives and warrants is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives and warrants is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. Conversion related derivatives were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 15%; annual volatility of 43%; and risk free annual interest rate of 4.83% as well as probability analysis related to trading volume restrictions. Both the derivatives and warrants were classified as long-term liabilities. At the time of issuance, the initial relative fair value assigned to the embedded derivatives was $679,624 for the Convertible Term Notes. At the time of conversion to Preferred Stock, the derivatives were valued at $563,069.

The Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Subordinated Secured Promissory Note, dated as of January 23, 2006 (the “Aether Note Amendment”), with Aether Systems, Inc. (“Aether”). Pursuant to the Aether Note Amendment, the Subordinated Secured Promissory Note issued by the Company to Aether on September 30,2004 in the aggregate maximum principal amount of $6,884,588 (the “Aether Note”), was amended to increase such aggregate maximum principal amount to $7,884,588. The Aether Note evidences

15




 

a contingent reimbursement obligation of the Company to Aether and a surety fee payable by the Company to Aether, in each case with respect to a letter of credit maintained by Aether for the Company’s benefit in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Mobile Government Division of Aether on September 30, 2004. The Company’s obligations under the Aether Note remain secured by a security interest granted to Aether in all or substantially all of the Company’s assets subordinated to the security interest of Laurus pursuant to the Secured Notes.

Default on 2004 and 2005 Notes

With respect to the convertible notes issued in 2004 and 2005, the Company is required to make interest payments or issue registered shares in lieu of interest payments on a monthly basis. In January 2006, the Company failed to make timely payment of interest due. This failure to make payments is considered an event of default of the subordinated notes, which then triggered a cross-default of the senior notes. Upon default, the interest rates on all the 2004 and 2005 notes increase and all debt becomes current.

Total accrued interest for all of the Company’s convertible debt as of March 31, 2006 amounted to $493,928.

Additionally, because the registration statement related to the 2005 convertible notes was not declared effective by April 30, 2006, the Company was required to pay liquidating damages per the registration rights agreement with the 2005 subordinated note holders May 30, 2006. The Company has not yet made this payment nor has that registration statement been declared effective. As of March 31, 2006 accrued liquidated damages totaled $630,000.

9.             FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the Senior Secured Convertible Term Note and the Subordinated Unsecured Convertible Term Note (“Notes’’). These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features and variable interest features. The Company also issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common stock as part of the debt financing. The accounting treatment of derivatives and the warrants requires that the Company record the derivatives and the warrants as a liability at their relative fair values as of the inception date of the agreement, and at fair

16




 

value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives or the warrant is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives or warrant is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. As of December 31, 2005, the derivatives and warrants classified as liabilities were valued at $1,011,543 and $1,483,511, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, the derivatives and warrants classified as liabilities were valued at $3,714,275 and $1,618,341 respectively. Derivatives were valued at each quarter end using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility ranging from 141% to 87%; and risk free interest rate of 4.8% as well as probability analysis related to subsequent financing. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the derivatives are classified as long-term liabilities due to the possible monetary penalties associated with conversion features embedded within the debt instruments.

10.           ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consisted of the following:

11.           MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

The company issued 1,000,000 shares of mandatorily redeemable Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on February 23, 2006, upon the conversion of certain convertible term notes. Each share of Series B preferred stock has an Original Issue Price of $1.00 per share. The holder has the option to redeem the shares of Series B preferred stock at any time for a number of shares of the company’s common stock equal to the Original Issue Price plus accrued and unpaid dividends divided by the initial fixed conversion price of $.70 per share of Common Stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment if common stock is issued by the company subsequent to the original issue date of the Series B preferred stock, except for other conversions, options, warrants, dividends paid in stock or pursuant to an acquisition by the company, at a price less than the conversion price. Mandatory conversion of all Series B shares will be automatic if, for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009, the average closing bid price for one share of common stock is at least $1.10. The shares shall be converted at the conversion price then in effect. If the average bid price for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009 per common share is less than $1.10 the company shall mandatorily redeem all remaining outstanding Series B preferred stock by paying cash equal to $1.00 per share with all accrued and unpaid dividends. The company may, at its election, redeem any or all of the remaining outstanding Series B shares in cash at a conversion price equal to $1.20 per share, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends upon giving 30 day notice. Holders of the Series B preferred stock are entitled to cumulative, prior and in preference to holders of common stock dividends equal to 15% per annum of the Original Purchase Price still outstanding, payable quarterly commencing April 1, 2006. In any liquidation of the company, each share of preferred stock is entitled to a liquidation preference in pari passu with the Series A Preferred stock before any distribution may be made on the company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2006, 1,000,000 preferred stock shares are authorized, issued and outstanding, at a par value of $0.001 and a liquidation preference of $1.00 with accumulated dividends in arrears of approximately $15,000.

The Preferred Stock contains features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments:

17




 

Preferred Stock’s conversion option:  The Preferred Stock is convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $0.70 per share; Quarterly Dividends Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Stock’s quarterly dividend payment at a $0.70 per share conversion. These features have been bifurcated and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at their fair value.

The accounting treatment of the derivatives requires that the Company record the derivatives at its relative fair value as of the inception date of the agreement, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. As of March 31, 2006 the derivatives were valued at $280,674. Conversion related derivatives were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 15%; annual volatility of 43%; and risk free annual interest rate of 4.83% as well as probability analysis related to trading volume restrictions. The derivatives were classified as long-term liabilities.

At the time of issuance, the initial relative fair value assigned to the embedded derivatives was $360,467 for the Preferred Stock.

An amount equal to the original value of the derivatives was recorded as discount to the Preferred Stock. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the Preferred Stock, using the effective interest method. At March 31, 2006, the unamortized discount on the Preferred Stock was $348,760.

13.           SEGMENT INFORMATION

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Company’s consolidated operations were divided into three segments: Law, Fire and Biometric. Prior to this segmentation of the business, management evaluated the business as one consolidated operation. For presentation and comparability purposes the allocation of costs between segments for prior periods have been estimated.

The Company evaluates performance based on revenues and operating loss. Operating loss for each segment includes selling, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the segment in addition to those allocated as a percentage based on a number of factors including revenue and bookings. The segmentation of operating loss as noted above and detailed below reflects how management now evaluates its business. Assets for the company are commingled and are related to all operating segments. Management does not evaluate or identify the operating assets of the segments separately.

Geographically, North American sales accounted for approximately 100% of the Company’s total sales for three month periods ending March 31, 2006 and 2005.

Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments is shown in the following table:

15.           EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

To address certain liquidity issues, on January 23, 2006, the Company issued convertible debt, common stock and warrants in consideration for certain modifications of its outstanding 2004 and 2005 Notes. Pursuant to this activity:

Effective as of January 23, 2006, BIO-key International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment and Waiver (the “Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver”) with Laurus in connection with the Secured Convertible Notes (the “Secured Notes”) currently held by Laurus.

Under the Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver, the Secured Notes issued by the Company to Laurus on September 29, 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “September 2004 Note”) and on June 8, 2005 in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “June 2005 Note”) were amended as follows: (i) the maturity date of the September 2004 Note was extended to January 1, 2008, (ii) the maturity date of the June 2005 Note was extended to December 1, 2008, and (iii) the fixed conversion price under each of the Secured Notes was reset from $1.35 to $0.85 per share. In addition, the exercise price of all warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company held by Laurus was reset to $1.00 per share.

The Company also issued 150,000 shares (the “Newly Issued Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock to Laurus in connection with the Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver. The Company granted Laurus registration rights with respect to these shares. In connection with the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares, Laurus agreed to waive the provisions of the Secured Notes regarding any adjustment of the fixed conversion price that would otherwise be triggered as a result of the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares and certain other securities which have a conversion price of $0.70 per share.

Effective as of January 23, 2006, the Company also entered into an Amendment and Waiver (the “Subordinated Notes Amendment and Waiver”) with certain holders (“the “Subordinated Note Holders”) of its Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”).

Under the Subordinated Notes Amendment and Waiver, the Subordinated Notes issued by the Company on September 29, 2004 and during the fourth quarter of 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of $4,950,000 (the “September 2004 Notes”) and on May 31, 2005 and during July 2005 in the aggregate principal amount of $3,244,723 (the “May 2005 Notes”) were amended as

20




 

follows: (i) the maturity dates were extended from September 29, 2007 and May 31, 2008, respectively, to January 1, 2009; (ii) the interest rate was fixed at fifteen percent (15%); (iii) all principal amounts are due at the maturity date and shall be paid in shares of Common Stock priced at $0.70 per share if the average closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the maturity date is greater than $1.10; (iv) interest shall be paid, at the Company’s election, in cash or shares of Common Stock, with the Common Stock priced at the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the repayment date; and (v) the currently applicable fixed conversion price was amended to $0.70 per share. In addition, the exercise price of all warrants to purchase Common Stock held by the Subordinated Note Holders that currently have an exercise price greater than $1.00 per share was reset to $1.00 per share.

The Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), effective as of January 23,2006, with The Shaar Fund, Ltd., Longview Fund, L.P. and Longview Special Finance (collectively, the “Purchasers”).

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Purchasers Convertible Term Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. The Convertible Notes converted into shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, which shares are convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Company at an initial fixed conversion price of $0.70 per share.

In connection with the Purchasers’ purchase of the Notes, the Company also issued warrants to the Purchasers (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth therein) at a per share exercise price of $1.00 per share. The proceeds from this transaction will be used for general working capital purposes.

The Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Subordinated Secured Promissory Note, dated as of January 23, 2006 (the “Aether Note Amendment”), with Aether Systems, Inc. (“Aether”). Pursuant to the Aether Note Amendment, the Subordinated Secured Promissory Note issued by the Company to Aether on September 30,2004 in the aggregate maximum principal amount of $6,884,588 (the “Aether Note”),was amended to increase such aggregate maximum principal amount to $7,884,588. The Aether Note evidences a contingent reimbursement obligation of the Company to Aether and a surety fee payable by the Company to Aether, in each case with respect to a letter of credit maintained by Aether for the Company’s benefit in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Mobile Government Division of Aether on September 30, 2004. The Company’s obligations under the Aether Note remain secured by a security interest granted to Aether in all or substantially all of the Company’s assets subordinate to the security interest of Laurus pursuant to the Secured Notes.

In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB No. 96-19, Debtor’s Accounting for Modification or Exchange of Debt Terms (“EITF 96-19”), the Company recorded a non-operating loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,322,018. The loss mainly relates to the accounting for the effect of the modification of certain embedded derivatives, extinguishment of previously recorded deferred financing costs and changes in the present value of debt and warrants. In accordance with EITF 96-19, the New Notes are recorded in the Company’s balance sheet at fair value at the date of the modification.

16.           RESTATEMENT

In the process of reviewing our Form 10-QSB filed on May 22, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) raised questions with regard to our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. Specifically, the SEC suggested that we review the classification as permanent equity, a liability or mezzanine equity, and that the preferred stock contained derivatives that needed to be reported separately. After further review of EITF 96-19 and related guidance, the Company determined that additional items need to be expensed as part of the debt  extinguishment loss. Additionally, the Company has made several other changes.

The items identified as requiring restatement were:

21




 

Accounting for Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

After reviewing FAS 150 and EITF D-98, the Company determined that the Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock should be treated as mezzanine equity, not as a long term liability. The Company has reclassified the Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly, along with removing the accrued dividends from the calculation of net income and is now including them as an adjustment to net income to arrive at net income available to common stockholders used in calculating earnings per share.

Accounting for Derivatives included in Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

The Company evaluated the Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to determine the appropriate accounting for certain provisions which may constitute embedded derivative instruments. The Company addressed the following issues: (i) identification of embedded derivative instruments; (ii) determination of which embedded derivative instruments are “separable” from the underlying host contract; and, (iii) for embedded derivatives which are deemed to be separable, determination of the appropriate classification as either equity or liability/asset. The Company identified two derivatives, which are separable from the host and classified them as liabilities on the balance sheet, as discussed in Note 11 Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock. With respect to these changes, the Company also had to record certain adjustments to correct the amortization of debt discount.

Additional items required to be included in the extinguishment of debt loss

Upon further review of EITF 96-19 and related guidance, the Company determined that additional items should be included in the calculation of the extinguishment of debt loss. Specifically, all deferred financing costs and bankers’ fees related to the debts that were deemed extinguished have now been included as of January 23 in loss on extinguishment of debt.

Other Changes

After a review of the Company’s interim financial statements by our independent public accountants, several other adjustments related to long-term obligations and equity were made. In addition a reclassification was made between unbilled receivables and costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information contained in this Report on Form 10-QSB and in other public statements by the Company and Company officers include or may contain certain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report on Form 10-QSB, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “will,” “may,” “future,” “plan,” “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot be sure that they will be achieved. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein due to a number of factors. Many of these factors are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB under the caption “Risk Factors” and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that may affect us. It should be recognized that other factors, including general economic factors and business strategies may be significant, presently or in the future. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

OVERVIEW

The following should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company included elsewhere herein.

We develop and market proprietary fingerprint identification biometric technology and software solutions. We also deliver advanced identification solutions and information services to law enforcement departments, public safety agencies and other government and private sector customers. Our mobile wireless technology provides first responders with critical, reliable, real-time data and images from local, state and national databases.

We pioneered the development of automated, finger identification technology that can be used without the aid of non-automated methods of identification such as a personal identification, password, token, smart card, ID card, credit card, passport, driver’s license or other form of possession or knowledge based identification. This advanced BIO-key™ identification technology improves both the accuracy and speed of finger-based biometrics and is the only finger identification algorithm that has been certified by the International Computer Security Association (ICSA).

Since our inception in 1993, we have spent substantial time and effort in completing the development of what we believe is the most discriminating and effective finger biometric technology available. During the past two years, our focus has shifted to marketing and selling this technology and completing strategic acquisitions that can help us leverage our capability to deliver identification solutions. We have built a direct sale force of professionals with substantial experience in selling technology solutions to government and corporate customers. We expect to continue to add additional qualified personnel.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For detailed information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our amended 10-KSB filed on June 19, 2006.

With the adoption of SFAS 123R at the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2006, we added

26




“Stock-Based Compensation” as a critical accounting policy.

Stock-Based Compensation

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with our valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized as an expense on the consolidated statements of operations. As required under the accounting rules, we review our valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, we are likely to change our valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our current estimates. Prior periods have not been restated to incorporate the stock-based compensation charge. The compensation expense recognized in connection with the adoption of SFAS 123R increased the company’s net loss by $120,567 and with no effect per share. There was no impact on cash flows from operations, investment, or financing in connections with the adoptions of SFAS 123R. As the Company uses the full valuation allowance with respect to deferred taxes, the adoption of SFAS123R had no impact on deferred taxes.

There was no stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases recognized under FAS 123R during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005

INTRODUCTION

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company restructured its operations into three business segments: Biometrics, Law Enforcement and Fire Safety. Each segment will be headed by a General Manager and organized to quickly respond to market needs as well as to drive down costs to achieve profitability. Management believes that this initiative will lead to increased opportunities throughout 2006 as the General Managers continue to develop their business units. During the first quarter of 2006 the Company continued to stay focused on its objectives of increasing revenue and managing expenses.

We have three reporting segments: Law Enforcement, Fire Safety and Biometrics. The Law Enforcement and Fire Safety segments were purchased during 2004. In the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company restructured its operations into three business segments, prior to this segmentation of the business, management evaluated the business as one consolidated operation. For presentation and comparability purposes the allocation of costs between segments for prior periods has been estimated.

28




The Company evaluates performance based on revenues and operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the segment in addition to those allocated as a percentage based on a number of factors including revenue and bookings. The segmentation of operating income as noted above and detailed below reflects how management now evaluates its business. Assets for the company are commingled and are related to all operating segments. Management does not evaluate or identify the operating assets of the segments separately.

Revenues

Law Enforcement

The decrease in revenue for this segment from 2005 was primarily attributable to a reduction in revenue from longer-term project work of approximately $762,000 as the Company moves to more of a licensing based model.

Fire Safety

The revenue for this segment decreased over the same quarter in the prior year. Although revenue

29




decreased, the company expects future growth in the segment as the market for fire safety products continues to remain strong, and the decrease is mainly attributable to timing of orders being received.

Biometrics

During the first quarter of 2006 the Biometric segment continued to show strong revenue growth. The growth in the current quarter was primarily attributable a large license order from a new customer. The Biometric business continues to gain traction and acceptance in the market place and is pursuing new customers to grow its installed customer base.

Costs of goods sold

Law Enforcement

License and other costs are attributable primarily to revenues derived from product sales for which we are required to pay a royalty. The decrease in cost is primarily driven by the sales mix and is solely dependent specifically on what products were sold.

Due to the change in focus from long-term project revenue to licensing agreements, cost of good sold also decreased as labor costs, both employees’ costs are reduced and consultants are eliminated as projects are completed.

Fire Safety

License and other costs are attributable primarily to revenues derived from product sales for which we are required to pay a royalty. The slight decrease in cost is primarily driven by the sales volume in addition to product mix. These costs are solely dependent specifically on what products were sold.

Service costs have increased over the same quarter in the prior year, which is not in line with the slight decrease in revenue for this business segment. This is primarily due to additional resources being allocated to this segment in anticipation of expected growth.

Biometrics

License and other costs are primarily related to the hardware costs related to sales of biometric fingerprint readers. The change in cost of goods sold is directly attributable to the product mix between types of readers sold and the volume of readers sold.

SG&A costs are allocated based on a number of factors including revenue and bookings. Changes in SG&A costs between business segments are the result of the change in their respective percentage of BIO-key’s total revenue.

The overall decline in total SG&A costs is primarily attributable to the continued focus by management on cost reduction initiatives taken on during 2005 after the acquisitions of Public Safety Group and Aether

30




Mobile Government were completed. Management believes the appropriate resources are in place to support its strategic goals but also continues to analyze the expense structure and continues to explore ways to further reduce costs. These reductions have been offset by additional costs related to reporting and compliance that the Company has experienced due to the restatements of our previously filed financial statements. The Company expects that these additional costs will continue into the second quarter as our discussions with the SEC continue.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, consolidated interest expense increased $1,231,608 or 148% as compared to the same quarter in 2005. The increase was attributable to increases in long term debt, related discount and other debt related instruments. Interest expense includes actual cash paid for interest as well non-cash charges for amortization of debt discounts, and interest expense on the deferred rent obligations. The increase in interest expense was primarily related to the default interest provisions and the liquidating damages provision during 2006 which approximated $234,000 and $315,000, respectively.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, consolidated interest income decreased $26,062 or 100% as

31




compared to the same quarter in 2005, which was attributable to the average amount of cash held on hand in interest bearing accounts.

For the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, derivative and warrant fair value adjustments decreased which was attributable to changes in the fair market value of embedded derivatives and detachable warrants issued with convertible debt. The changes represent non-cash income and expenses charges to the statement of operations. The fair value of the derivatives will fluctuate based on; our stock price on the valuation date, the debt conversion price, the volatility of our stock price over a period of time, changes in the value of the risk free interest rate, and the time to maturity of the outstanding debt at different points in time. Another factor that contributed to the change was the additional derivatives recorded as a result of the May, June and July 2005 and January 2006 debt traunches.

Liquidity outlook

Net cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $660,000 compared to approximately $419,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The primary use of cash for both years was to fund the net loss. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $24,000 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $957,000 for the corresponding period in 2005. The 2006 amount consisted of capital expenditures of approximately $14,000 and expenditures for patents of $10,000. The 2005 amount consisted of approximately $980,000 from sale of marketable securities and $50,000 in proceeds from the sale of a trademark. These amounts were partially offset by fixed asset purchases of approximately $73,000. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $855,000 compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately $123,000 in the corresponding period in 2005. The 2006 amount included debt proceeds of $988,000 offset by $80,000 of debt repayments and $53,000 for costs to issue the new debt. The 2005 amount included debt repayments of approximately $738,000, which were partially offset by approximately $528,000 in proceeds from warrant and option exercises.

Working capital deficit at March 31, 2006 was approximately $9,739,594 as compared to a deficit of approximately $8,951,539 at December 31, 2005.

Since January 7, 1993 (date of inception), our capital needs have been principally met through proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities.

We do not expect any material capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

Liquidity outlook

At March 31, 2006 our total of cash and cash equivalents was $1,594,641 as compared to $1,422,827 at December 31, 2005. As discussed above, the Company has financed itself through access to the capital markets by issuing debt securities, convertible preferred stock and common stock.

As of May 17, 2006, we had cash resources of approximately $1,200,000 and $11,127,000 of convertible debt remaining as described in the “Long-Term Obligations” footnote of this report. We currently require approximately $1,700,000 per month to conduct our operations. During the first quarter of 2006, we generated approximately $3,149,000 of revenue and expect to increase quarterly revenue in 2006.

The Company has undertaken strategic steps to position itself to realize positive cash flows from operations in the future by increasing revenues and better managing expenses. These steps include the acquisition of two enterprises in 2004. Although the acquisitions inherently produced a greater demand for cash than we would have liked, we are confident that many of the initial costs are isolated in nature and will not be

32




recurring year after year. The Company has also taken strategic steps to downsize the workforce in areas that we felt were either non-essential or not in line with where we wanted the Company to develop in the near future. The Company has also recently experienced additional costs associated with various compliance related activities.

We will need to obtain additional funding to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. Due to several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in opinions that they have previously issued as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. To the extent that we require such additional financing, no assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet our needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. If available financing is insufficient or unavailable or we fail to continue to generate meaningful revenue, we may be required to further reduce operating expenses, delay the expansion of operations, be unable to pursue merger or acquisition candidates, or continue as a going concern.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers (“Co-CEOs”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). As previously described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the periods ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005 and in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2005, we noted that our independent auditors, DS&B, Ltd., in a letter to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors dated April 18, 2005, had identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control systems.

In order to ensure that the Company adequately addresses all existing internal control issues, the Company initiated follow-up discussions with its auditors to better determine what constituted these material weaknesses. During these discussions, the auditors and the Company identified the following weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls: an inadequate system to capture disclosure items, an inadequate internal process of review for account reconciliations, an inadequate documentation of internal controls and an inadequate internal processes around drafting of periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, we have implemented changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These measures include the following:

·                  Inadequate System to capture Disclosure Items

·                  In March 2006, the Company hired a Manager of Reporting who is a Certified Public Accountant with eighteen years of experience.

·                  Inadequate Documentation of Internal Controls

·                  The Company is in the process of identifying, analyzing and documenting the internal controls that it believes are critical to ensuring the accuracy of the transactions that are being recorded in the Company’s accounting system. Some of the areas that are currently being documented include the revenue cycle, the disbursement cycle and equity transactions.

·                  Inadequate Internal Process Around Drafting of periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission

33




·                  As part of the drafting of this Report and the Company’s 10-KSB, the Company’s Audit Committee increased their oversight of the disclosure and reporting processes.

·                  In preparing this Report and the Company’s 10-KSB, the Company utilized a more formal disclosure checklist to ensure accuracy.

As noted above, the Company has identified four areas of material weakness in its internal controls systems. While significant progress has been made to date to correct these weaknesses, we believe that all four areas still constitute material weaknesses. Based upon their evaluation of these conditions, the Company’s co-CEOs and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2006, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

The Company intends to continue to implement changes to its internal control system in 2006 to remediate the material weaknesses that have previously been identified. In particular, we will continue to make additions to our finance organization and related processes in an effort to further strengthen our internal controls. We will continue to retain the services of outside consultants to assist us with complex, non-routine transactions such as the financing transactions we have completed during the prior two years. We will also continue to formalize our internal procedures to assure that all complex, non-routine transactions, as well as all of our periodic filings, are reviewed by senior management and other accounting personnel with sufficient technical accounting expertise to evaluate and document such transactions and to provide related disclosure in our periodic filings. The Company believes that it will take two to three quarters before the full benefit of all these changes will be realized.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

With respect to the convertible notes issued in 2004 and 2005, the Company is required to make interest payments or issue registered shares in lieu of interest payments on a monthly basis. In January 2006, the Company failed to make timely payment of interest due on the 2004 and 2005 notes.

 

Under the provisions of the 2004 and 2005 subordinated convertible notes, $181,000 of interest was due by January 6, 2006. The Company also failed to make the required payments or issue shares in the amount of $30,000, $26,000, $131,000, $26,000, $27,000, and $123,000 for the February, March, April, May, June, and July monthly payments with respect to the subordinated notes, respectively. The failure to make the required monthly payments caused the subordinated debt to default, and as such in accordance with the provisions set forth in the subordinated convertible note agreements, the interest rate was increased by an additional 2.0% per annum. This additional interest expense amounted to approximately $9,000, during the months of January, February, March, April, May, and June, respectively.

 

On June 9, 2006 the Company issued registered shares to certain holders of the September 2004 Convertible notes in lieu of $123,365 in back interest expense and an additional $469 was paid to certain holders for back interest expense. As of June 16, 2006 the company was no longer in arrears for the required interest payments as related to the 2004 subordinated convertible notes.

 

The 2005 subordinated notes have also been in default since January 2006 and have been accruing default interest as well. As of July 16, 2006 total interest in arrears related to subordinated notes amounted to $273,000.

 

The company made the required payments to the 2004 and 2005 Senior Debt holder, Laurus Master Fund Ltd. However, due to the non-payment of subordinated interest as described above, the Company incurred, in accordance with the cross-default provisions of the senior debt agreements, an additional 1.5% per month default interest penalty relating to the senior debt. This resulted in additional interest expense of $86,000, $78,000, $86,000, $83,000, $86,000, and $83,000 for the months of January, February, March, April, May, and June, respectively. As of July 16, 2006 total interest in arrears related to the Senior debt amounted to $502,000.

 

Total interest in arrears for all of the Company’s convertible debt as of July 16, 2006 amounted to $775,000.

 

Additionally, because the registration statement related to the 2005 convertible notes was not declared effective by April 30, 2006, the Company was required to pay liquidating damages per the registration rights agreement with the 2005 subordinated debt holders by May 30, 2006. The Company has not yet made this payment nor has that registration statement been declared effective. As of July 16, 2006, the total penalty in arrears amounted to $945,000.
