NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Rounded in thousands)
1. BASIS OF 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 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. These
financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2009 included in the Xenonics Holdings, Inc.
(Holdings) Form 10-K filing. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative
of the results for the full fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Xenonics, Inc. (Xenonics), collectively, the Company.
2. RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted:
On October 1, 2009, we adopted a new FASB rule that revises existing business combination
rules. The new rule requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and
goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at full fair value. The new rule
applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations
by contract alone. Additionally, all business combinations will be accounted for by applying the
acquisition method. The new rule was effective for business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
On October 1, 2009, we adopted new FASB rules related to accounting for assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. The new rules apply to
all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from certain
contingencies as defined by the FASB and requires (i) an acquirer to recognize at fair value, at
the acquisition date, an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises
from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined
during the measurement period, otherwise the asset or liability should be recognized at the
acquisition date if certain defined criteria are met; (ii) contingent consideration arrangements of
an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be recognized initially at fair
value; (iii) subsequent measurements of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies be based
on a systematic and rational method depending on their nature and contingent consideration
arrangements be measured subsequently; and (iv) disclosures of the amounts and measurement basis of
such assets and liabilities and the nature of the contingencies. The new rules were effective for
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard did
not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On October 1, 2009, we adopted new FASB rules related to determining the useful life of
intangible assets. The new rules amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
existing FASB rules for goodwill and other intangible assets. This change is intended to improve
the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset outside a business
combination and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of an intangible asset in a
business combination. The new rules were effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets
acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to
all intangible recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The adoption of this
standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On October 1, 2009, we adopted a new FASB rule related to non-controlling interests in
consolidated financial statements. The new rule requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries
held by parties other than the parent to be treated as a separate component of equity and be
clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. The new rule
was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Earlier adoption was prohibited. The adoption of this standard did not have an
impact on our consolidated financial statements. On October 1, 2009, we also adopted related
guidance, FASB ASU No. 2010-2,
Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in
Ownership of a Subsidiary a Scope Clarification
, which amended certain provisions of the
preceding new guidance for non-controlling interests and changes in ownership interests of a
subsidiary, specifically related to an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a
subsidiary. The new guidance clarifies the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions. The
adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On October 1, 2009, we adopted new FASB rules related to determining whether an instrument (or
embedded feature) is indexed to an entitys own stock. Existing accounting for derivatives and
hedging activities, specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a
derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Companys own stock and (b) classified in shareholders
equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial
instrument. The new rules provide a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a
financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuers own stock and thus able to
qualify for the existing scope exception. The new rules were effective for the first annual
reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited. The adoption
of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On October 1, 2009, we adopted the FASB ASU No. 2009-5,
Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820)Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value
, which changed the fair value
accounting for liabilities. These changes clarify existing guidance that in circumstances in which
a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is
required to measure fair value using either a valuation technique that uses a quoted price of
either a similar liability or a quoted price of an identical or similar liability when traded as an
asset, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value
measurements, such as an income approach (e.g., present value technique) or a market approach. This
guidance also states that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability and a
quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no
adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required, are Level 1 fair value measurements. The
adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued:
In June 2009, the FASB issued new rules related to accounting for transfers of financial
assets. These new rules were incorporated into the Accounting Standards Codification in December
2009 as discussed in FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-16,
Transfers and Servicing
(Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.
The new rules amend various provisions
related to accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities, by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removes the
exception from applying FASB rules related to variable interest entities that are qualifying
special-purpose
entities; limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a
financial asset; defines a participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially
measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer
accounted for as a sale; and requires enhanced disclosure; among others. The new rules become
effective for the Company on October 1, 2010, earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of
this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
5
In June 2009, the FASB issued new rules to amend certain accounting for variable interest
entities (VIE). These new rules were incorporated into the Accounting Standards Codification in
December 2009 as discussed in FASB ASU No. 2009-17,
Consolidation (Topic 810): Improvements to
Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.
The new rules require
an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or
interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE; to require ongoing reassessments of
whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; to eliminate the quantitative approach
previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE; to add an additional
reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a VIE when any changes in facts and
circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power
from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity
that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance; and to require enhanced
disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about
an enterprises involvement in a VIE. The new rules become effective for the Company on October 1,
2010; earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13,
Revenue Recognition (Topic 605):
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangementsa consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
(ASU
2009-13). ASU 2009-13 amends accounting for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, to
eliminate the requirement that all undelivered elements have Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence
(VSOE) or Third-Party Evidence (TPE) before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall
arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of
VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a
multiple-element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those
elements. The overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element (both delivered and
undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those selling
prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entitys estimated selling price.
Application of the residual method of allocating an overall arrangement fee between delivered and
undelivered elements will no longer be permitted upon adoption of ASU 2009-13. Additionally, the
new guidance will require entities to disclose more information about their multiple-element
revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into
or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is
permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of
the entitys fiscal year, the entity will be required to apply the amendments in this Update
retrospectively from the beginning of the entitys fiscal year. Additionally, vendors electing
early adoption will be required to disclose the following information at a minimum for all
previously reported interim periods in the fiscal year of adoption: revenue, income before income
taxes, net income, earnings per share and the effect of the change for the appropriate captions
presented. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic
820): Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements
. The ASU requires new disclosures about
transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value
disclosures about the level of disaggregation of disclosed assets and liabilities, and about inputs
and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value
measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of
existing disclosures were effective, and adopted, during the Companys second quarter ended March 31, 2010,
however the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of
activity in Level 3 measurements, will be effective for the Companys first quarter ending December
31, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the full adoption of this new guidance will
not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income available to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is
computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include
the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional
common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common share equivalents are excluded from the
computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Companys common share equivalents consist of
stock options and warrants.
The fully diluted loss per share did not include the dilutive effect, if any, from the
potential exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, because the
effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, the
number of options and warrants excluded was 8,066,000 and 3,486,000, respectively. For the three
and nine months ended June 30, 2009, the number of options and warrants excluded was 5,349,000.

5. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
6. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
US GAAP requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment
arrangements be recognized in the financial statements. US GAAP requires measurement of
compensation cost for all share-based 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. Such fair value is recognized as expense
over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures.
7
US GAAP requires that equity instruments issued to non-employees in exchange for services be
valued at the more accurate of the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the
equity instruments issued. For equity instruments issued that are subject to a required service
period the expense associated with the equity instruments is recorded as the instruments vest or
the services are provided. The Company has granted options and warrants to non-employees and recorded the fair value
of these equity instruments on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The
Company has granted stock to non-employees for services and values the stock at the more reliable
of the market value on the date of issuance or the value of the services provided. For grants
subject to vesting or service requirements, expenses are deferred and recognized over the more
appropriate of the vesting period, or as services are provided.
In July 2003, the Companys board of directors adopted a stock option plan. Under the 2003
option plan, options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock are available for
employees, directors, and outside consultants.
In December 2004, the Companys board of directors adopted a 2004 stock incentive plan. The
Company may issue up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock under the 2004 plan and no person may be
granted awards during any twelve-month period that cover more than 300,000 shares of common stock.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
valuation model. The following assumptions were used for options granted in the nine months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Expected volatility is determined based on historical volatility. Expected life is determined
based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of
the stock-based awards and vesting schedules. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Share-based compensation expense recognized is
based on the options ultimately expected to vest. US GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at
the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ
from those estimated. Forfeitures were estimated based on the Companys historical experiences.

As of June 30, 2010, there was $380,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to
non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the stock options plans. Those
costs are not expected to be recognized because achievement of the revenue and profitability
milestones are not deemed probable as of June 30, 2010. The total fair value of options vested
during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $37,000.
In October 2008, the Company granted a total of 325,000 new stock options to the three current
officers. These options would have vested only if certain revenue and profitability milestones were
achieved for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. In March 2009, for these and an additional
125,000 stock options that were previously granted, the revenue and profitability milestones were
extended to the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. No expense has been recorded because
achievement of the milestones is not deemed probable as of June 30, 2010.
In March 2009, the Company granted a total of 400,000 new stock options to two officers.
These options would have vested only if certain revenue and profitability milestones are achieved
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. In September 2009 the revenue and profitability
milestones for these options were extended to the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. No
expense has been recorded because achievement of the milestones is not deemed probable as of June
30, 2010.
In October 2009 the Company granted a total of 45,000 new stock options to two directors for
$0.80 per share.
There was no compensation expense related to outstanding options for the three months ended
June 30, 2010. Total compensation expense related to outstanding options for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 was $13,000. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 total compensation
expense was $35,000 and $251,000, respectively. Such amounts are included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Stock warrants
The Company recognizes the value of stock warrants issued based upon an
option-pricing model at their fair value as an expense over the period in which the grants vest
from the measurement date, which is the date when the number of warrants, their exercise price and
other terms became certain.
On November 11, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with an independent firm to conduct
institutional investor services for a period of one year. As part of this agreement the Company
issued a five year Warrant, vested upon issuance, to purchase 100,000 shares of the Companys
common stock at $0.50 per share. Additionally, should the independent firm provide ancillary
services such as meetings or teleconferences with potential institutional investors, an additional
50,000 warrants to purchase the Companys common stock at $0.50 per share shall be issued.
At June 30, 2010 and 2009, 7,148,000 and 3,416,000 warrants were outstanding and 2,212,000 and
2,479,000 warrants were vested, respectively.
9
Compensation expense related to outstanding warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2010
was $18,000. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 total compensation expense related
to outstanding warrants was $103,000 and $30,000, respectively.
Common stock
On October 10, 2009 the Company issued 300,000 shares of unregistered common
stock to an independent firm for investor relations, financial public relations and marketing
services for a period of three years. The total value of the common stock issued was $240,000, of
which $80,000 was recorded in Other current assets and $142,000 was recorded in Other assets. On
April 28, 2010 the Company issued 300,000 shares to the same independent firm for an additional
year for investor relations, financial public relations and marketing services. The total value of
the common stock issued was $147,000, of which $43,000 was recorded in Other current assets and
$104,000 was recorded in Other assets. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, $28,000
and $65,000, respectively, was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.
On December 11, 2009 the Company sold 400,000 shares of common stock for $0.72 per share and
granted warrants to purchase 100,000 shares for $0.90 per share.
On April 6, 2010 the Company sold 2,900,000 shares of common stock for $0.50 per share and
granted warrants to purchase 2,900,000 shares for $0.65 per share.
On April 23, 2010 the Company sold 1,100,000 shares of common stock for $0.50 per share and
granted warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares for $0.65 per share.
The total issuance costs for the shares of common stock sold in December 2009 and April 2010
were $359,000. The net proceeds of these common stock sales were $1,929,000.
7. INCOME TAXES
The Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of uncertain tax positions in
accordance with recognition standards established for certain tax positions. In this regard, an
uncertain tax position represents the Companys expected treatment of a tax position taken in a
filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in
measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. At the date of adoption, and as of
June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits. The Company concluded that at this time there are no uncertain tax positions. There was
no cumulative effect on retained earnings. As of June 30, 2010, the Company does not expect any
material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.
The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in the Companys financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing
the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax
returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially
impact our financial position or our results of operations. For the nine months ended June 30,
2010, deferred income tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance increased by $653,000.
8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of our cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the
short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the notes payable is estimated based on
current rates offered to the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company received notice in February 2006 regarding a breach of contract
action filed in the Delaware Superior Court by Steven M. Mizel against Xenonics, Inc. (Xenonics),
a 98.6% owned subsidiary of the Company. Plaintiff, a former holder of warrants of Xenonics,
alleged that prior to the effective date of a transaction on or about July 23, 2003 between Digital
Home Theatre Systems, Inc. (DHTS) and Xenonics, plaintiff was not allowed to exercise his
warrants and that Xenonics wrongfully refused to permit him to purchase the Companys shares at the
exercise price in his warrants for Xenonics shares. Effective December 10, 2008 the Company agreed
to repurchase the minority interest pursuant to an Exchange Agreement between the Company and Mr.
Mizel (the Exchange Agreement), whereby Mr. Mizel transferred to the Company 125,000 shares of
common stock of Xenonics in exchange for 275,000 shares of common stock of the Company with a
guaranteed market value (taking into account shares of common stock sold by Mr. Mizel before
December 10, 2009) of at least $375,000 on December 10, 2009. In connection with this exchange,
Mr. Mizel dismissed with prejudice the action in the Delaware Superior Court.
The Company is occasionally subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary
course of business. It is impossible to predict with any certainty the outcome of pending
disputes, and management cannot predict whether any liability arising from pending claims and
litigation will be material in relation to the Companys consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
10. GOODWILL
The $375,000 recorded as goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
recorded minority interest of the Xenonics common stock repurchased as discussed in Note 9 above.
The Company does not amortize goodwill. Instead, the Company evaluates goodwill annually in the
fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than
not that an impairment loss has been incurred. As of June 30, 2010, the Company determined that no
such impairment indicators exist.
11. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
In connection with the repurchase of the Companys minority interest as discussed in Note 9,
the Company issued 275,000 shares of common stock with a guaranteed market value of at least
$375,000 as of December 10, 2009. A derivative liability of $161,000 was initially recorded as the
difference between the stock price on December 10, 2008 and the guaranteed market value of
$375,000. Accordingly, any gains or losses resulting from the change in fair value of the common
stock are reported as other income or expense in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. On December 11, 2009 the Company was notified that the final liability for this
obligation would be $161,000. On January 8, 2010 the final obligation was paid in full.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management evaluated all activity through the date that the consolidated financial statements
were issued, and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition
in the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the condensed
consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010 the Company granted a total of 40,000 new stock options to two new directors for
$0.65 per share.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed as part of this report.
Forward-Looking Statements
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, as well as information contained elsewhere in this report, contain statements that
constitute 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 statements
regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us, our directors or our officers with
respect to, among other things: anticipated financial or operating results, financial projections,
business prospects, future product performance and other matters that are not historical facts. The
success of our business operations is dependent on factors such as the impact of competitive
products, product development, commercialization and technology difficulties, the results of
financing efforts and the effectiveness of our marketing strategies, general competitive and
economic conditions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including as a result of the factors
described in the Risk Factors section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not
undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this
report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Results of Operations
Three-months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2009
We operate in the security lighting systems and night vision industries, and the majority of
our revenues are derived from sales of our illumination products and our SuperVision night vision
product to various customers.
Revenues:
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 were $1,421,000 compared to revenues
of $2,132,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. In the quarter ended June 30, 2010, 92% of
revenues were from sales of our NightHunter products to the military (U.S. Army, U.S. Marines and
military distributors). In the quarter ended June 30, 2009, 90% of revenues were to the military
market.
Cost of Goods and Gross Profit:
Cost of goods consist of the cost of manufacturing our
NightHunter One and SuperVision products and the price that we pay to PerkinElmer for NightHunter 3
products that PerkinElmer manufactures for us under a manufacturing agreement.
The gross profit percentages were 51% and 46% for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative:
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
$340,000 to $709,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1,049,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributed to the Companys cost reduction program
that included decreases in salaries and benefits of $179,000, consulting services of $105,000 and
trade show, marketing and travel expenses of $103,000.
12
Research & Development:
Research and development expenses were $171,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2010 compared to $158,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily
attributed to costs incurred for the further development of the Companys product lines during a
period of lower sales.
Other Income (Expense):
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 interest expense was $38,000.
There was no interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
In connection with the repurchase of the Companys minority interest in December 2008, the
Company issued 275,000 shares of common stock with a guaranteed market value of at least $375,000
as of December 10, 2009. The Company recorded a derivative of $161,000 at the time of the
transaction. The repurchase was completed in January 2010 for $161,000. At June 30, 2009, the fair
value of the common stock decreased in value and the Company recorded the mark to market adjustment
of $33,000 as a loss on derivative revaluation.
Net Loss:
Lower revenues in the current quarter were offset by significant reductions in
operating expenses to account for a net loss of $188,000 compared to a net loss of $240,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009
Revenues:
Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 were $2,786,000 compared to
revenues of $5,288,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. For the nine months ended June 30,
2010, 86% of revenues were from sales of our NightHunter products to the military (U.S. Army, U.S.
Marines and military distributors). This compares to 79% of revenues to the military market in the
same nine month period of the prior year.
Cost of Goods and Gross Profit:
Cost of goods consist of the cost of manufacturing our
NightHunter One and SuperVision products and the price that we pay to PerkinElmer for NightHunter 3
products that PerkinElmer manufactures for us under a manufacturing agreement.
The gross profit percentages were 49% and 45% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative:
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
$1,431,000 to $2,198,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $3,629,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 2009. Decreases in non-cash compensation expenses for stock options of
$216,000 were offset by an increase for warrants of $138,000. Other decreases, which were part of
the Companys cost reduction program, included salaries and benefits of $516,000, advertising,
trade show, travel and samples expenses of $520,000, legal expenses of $76,000, consulting expenses
of $88,000, investor relations of $39,000 and rent and relocation expenses of $39,000.
Research & Development:
Research and development expenses were $625,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to $501,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The Company
continues to spend for the development of new products, including our new NightHunter 3 ultra high
intensity illumination system.
Net Loss:
Lower revenues in the current nine month period offset by significant reductions in
operating expenses accounted for a net loss of $1,544,000 compared to a net loss of $1,797,000 for
the prior year nine month period.
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had working capital of $3,265,000 and a current ratio of 5.3
to 1 as compared to working capital of $2,436,000 and a current ratio of 2.6 to 1 as of September
30, 2009.
Our net loss of $1,544,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 negatively impacted cash.
In the first nine months of this year, cash flows from financing activities included the net
proceeds from the sales of common stock of $1,929,000 and an exercise of stock options of $6,000.
Significant sources of cash from operating activities during the first nine months of the current
year included a decrease in accounts receivable of $437,000 offset by a decrease in accounts
payable of $453,000. Cash used in operating activities totaled $1,559,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2010.
During April 2010 the Company sold a total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per
share and issued 4,000,000 warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock at $0.65 per
share for a period of five years. Net proceeds of the common stock sales were $1,780,000.
Based on the amount of working capital that we had on hand on June 30, 2010, the proceeds from
the April sales of common stock and the amount of unfilled and potential orders we have pending, we
are optimistic about our ability to obtain sales orders and/or additional equity or debt financing
to continue to support planned operations and satisfy obligations. However, due to the nature of
our business, there is no assurance that we will receive new orders during the quarters that we
expect them and although management believes it can obtain additional financing, there is no
certainty that it can.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
The Companys management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act).
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010, which is the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report.
Based upon our evaluation, we also concluded that there was no change in our internal control
over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
15
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The risk factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
2009 are updated as follows:
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a recent history of losses and cannot assure you that we will ever become or remain
profitable.
During each of the five fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 2009, we incurred a net
loss ranging from $1,391,000 to $5,310,000, and we had revenue ranging from $4,434,000 to
$10,168,000. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, we had net income of $1,476,000 on
revenue of $11,927,000.
Since our revenue is primarily dependent upon the receipt of large orders from the military
and other governmental organizations, which orders are sporadic and unpredictable, our revenue
fluctuates significantly from year to year. We cannot provide any assurance that we will generate
revenue at any specific levels or that any revenue generated will be sufficient for us to become
profitable or thereafter maintain profitability. If our revenue does not increase significantly,
we will need to raise substantial additional amounts of capital in order to be able to continue our
operations.
The loss of contracts with U.S. government agencies would adversely affect our revenue.
To date, substantially all of our sales have been derived from sales to military and security
organizations, such as the U.S. military, and various other governmental law enforcement agencies.
There are certain considerations and limitations inherent in sales to governmental or municipal
entities such as budgetary constraints, timing of procurement, political considerations and listing
requirements that are beyond our control and that could affect our future sales. There is no
assurance that we will be able to achieve our targeted sales objectives to these governmental and
municipal entities or that we will continue to generate any material sales to these entities in the
future.
Potential customers may prefer our competitors technology and products.
The ultra-high intensity lighting industry, in which we operate, is characterized by mature
products and established industry participants. We compete with other providers of specialized
lights in the United States and abroad who have created or are developing technologies and products
that are similar to the products we are selling to many of the same purchasers in our targeted
markets. Although we believe that our competitors do not offer products as advanced as ours,
competition from these companies is intense. Because we are currently a small company with a
limited marketing budget, our ability to compete effectively will depend on the benefits of our
technology and on our patents. There is no assurance that potential customers will select our
technology over that of a competitor, or that a competitor will not market a competing technology
with operating characteristics similar to those owned by us.
Our products could be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by the introduction and market
acceptance of competing products, technological advances by current or potential competitors, or
other approaches. If that development were to occur, we might be required to reduce our prices in
order to remain competitive and these lower prices could affect our profitability. We compete on
the basis of a number of factors in areas in which we have limited experience, including marketing
to the military and governmental agencies, and customer service and support. There is no assurance
that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors.
16
Because we have a new marketing and sales team, we may be unable to compete successfully against
other companies that have a history and track record in the high-intensity lighting and night
vision marketplaces.
We have a new marketing and sales team. On July 27, 2009, we entered into a domestic
distribution agreement with Aardvark Tactical, Inc. for all of our high-intensity illumination
systems, SuperVision high-definition night-vision devices and future products developed by us. The
customer base covered by the agreement includes all United States military, all United States
federal law enforcement agencies, all state and local first responders and all United States based
defense contractors. Although Aardvark is one of the largest suppliers of non-lethal weapons, riot
control, force protection and tactical equipment in the United States to military, law enforcement,
federal government and homeland security, there is no assurance that Aardvark will be successful in
its effort to market our products.
Although our officers have experience in the operations and management of various businesses
and have experience in the high-intensity lighting field, they have limited experience in the
management of a company engaged in the high volume sale of high-intensity lighting and night
vision. In addition, while we have had success in marketing to certain branches of the U.S.
military and to certain other U.S. governmental agencies, we are new to marketing our products to a
wider market. There is no assurance that our current marketing and sales capabilities will enable
us to compete successfully against competitors that have a history and track record in the
high-intensity lighting and night vision marketplaces. If we do not maintain an effective
marketing and sales organization, our business will be adversely affected.
The loss of any of our key personnel could adversely affect our business.
Our future success depends on the efforts of our senior management, particularly Alan P.
Magerman, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Jeffrey P. Kennedy, our Chief
Operating Officer and President. The loss of the services of one or more members of our senior
management could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
We are subject to government regulations that may require us to obtain additional licenses and
could limit our ability to sell our products outside the United States.
The sale of certain of our products outside the United States is subject to compliance with
the United States Export Administration Regulations and, potentially, the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations. Compliance with government regulations may subject us to additional fees and
costs. The absence of comparable restrictions on competitors in other countries may adversely
affect our competitive position. The need to obtain licenses could limit or impede our ability to
ship to certain foreign markets. Although we currently hold the requisite export licenses required
under current requirements, future laws and regulations could impact our ability to generate
revenue from the sale of our products outside the United States, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may experience production delays if suppliers fail to deliver materials to us, which could
reduce our revenue.
The manufacturing process for our products consists primarily of the assembly of purchased
components. Although we can obtain materials and purchase components from different suppliers, we
rely on certain suppliers for our components. If a supplier should cease to deliver such
components, this could result in added cost and manufacturing delays and have a material adverse
effect on our business.
17
Our operations involve evolving products and technological change, which could make our products
obsolete.
Ultra-high-intensity portable illumination products are continuously evolving and are subject
to technological change. Our ability to maintain a competitive advantage and build our business
requires us to consistently invest in research and development. Many of the companies that
currently compete in the portable illumination market, or that may in the future compete with us in
our market, may have greater capital resources, research and development staffs, facilities and
field trial experience than we do. Our products could be rendered obsolete by the introduction and
market acceptance of competing products, technological advances by current or potential
competitors, or other approaches.
We may not have adequate protection of our intellectual property, which could result in a reduction
in our revenue if our competitors are able to use our intellectual property.
We own the rights to 18 patents, including 5 design patents and 13 utility patents relating to
the design and configuration of our xenon illumination technology and digital lowlight viewing.
There is no assurance, however, that our patents will provide competitive advantages for our
products or that our patents will not be successfully challenged or circumvented by our
competitors. There is no assurance that our pending patent applications will ultimately be issued
or provide patent protection for improvements to our base technology. While we believe that our
patent rights are valid, we cannot be sure that our products or technologies do not infringe on
other patents or intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties. In the event that
any relevant claims of third-party patents are upheld as valid and enforceable, we could be
prevented from selling our products or could be required to obtain licenses from the owners of such
patents or to redesign our products to avoid infringement. In addition, many of the processes of
our products that we deem significant are not protected by patents or pending patent applications.
We regard portions of the designs and technologies incorporated into our products as
proprietary, and we attempt to protect them with a combination of patent, trademark and trade
secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and similar means. Despite these
precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of our
products or to otherwise obtain and use to our detriment information that we regard as
proprietary. There is no assurance that the agreements we have entered into with employees or
third parties to maintain the confidentiality of our confidential or proprietary information will
effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information or provide meaningful protection for
our proprietary information or that our confidential or proprietary information will not be
independently used by our competitors.
Because we currently have only a single line of products, any delay in our ability to market, sell
or ship these existing products would adversely affect our revenue.
To date, all of our revenue has been generated from the sales of our three NightHunter
illumination system products (the NightHunter One, NightHunter II and NightHunter ext), related
accessories and our SuperVision product. In addition to these NightHunter models and SuperVision,
we are now marketing the NightHunter 3. Our profitability and viability are dependent upon our
continued ability to sell, manufacture and ship our NightHunter and SuperVision products, and any
delay or interruption in our ability to market, sell or ship our NightHunter illumination systems
or SuperVision and related accessories will have a material adverse affect on our business and
financial condition.
In addition, our future growth and profitability will depend on our ability to successfully
expand our NightHunter and SuperVision products and to develop other products. While our goal is to
develop and commercialize a line of ultra-high-intensity illumination systems, and digital
low-light viewing devices, new products will require substantial expenditures of money for
development and advertising. There is no guarantee that the market will accept these new
products.
18
Because we depend on a single manufacturer to make our NightHunter products, any failure by the
manufacturer to honor its obligations to us will impair our ability to deliver our products to
customers.
Under our agreement with PerkinElmer, a global provider of products and services to, among
others, the optoelectronics industries, PerkinElmer is the sole and exclusive manufacturer of our
NightHunter products, and we are not permitted to engage any other manufacturer. In addition,
PerkinElmer is responsible for testing, packaging and maintaining product inventories.
Accordingly, we are dependent upon PerkinElmer for the manufacture and delivery of our new
NightHunter products. To date, as a small company with limited resources, our arrangement with
PerkinElmer has provided us with the manufacturing, packaging and shipping expertise normally only
available to larger firms. However, should PerkinElmer for any reason in the future be unable or
unwilling to fully honor its obligations under our manufacturing agreement, we would lose the
ability to manufacture and deliver our principal product until PerkinElmer recommences
manufacturing or until we obtain an alternate manufacturer. While we believe that we could replace
PerkinElmer in such an event, any such event would adversely affect our operations and financial
results during the period in which we transitioned to another manufacturer.
The current global economic downturn may materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Unfavorable economic conditions, including the impact of recessions in the United States and
throughout the world, may negatively affect our business and financial results. These economic
conditions may negatively impact (1) demand for our products, (2) our ability to collect accounts
receivable on a timely basis, (3) the ability of suppliers to provide the products required in our
operations, and (4) our ability to obtain financing or to otherwise access capital markets.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially in the future in response
to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
|
|
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
|
|
|
|
|
changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our common stock, the
common stock of our competitors or our industry generally;
|
|
|
|
|
operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem
comparable to us;
|
|
|
|
|
changes in government regulations;
|
|
|
|
|
litigation or threats of litigation;
|
|
|
|
|
reports or speculation in the press, industry publications or internet
communities;
|
|
|
|
|
short selling of our common stock or our issuance of common stock for less than
the then-current market price of our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
new accounting standards;
|
|
|
|
|
general economic, political and market conditions; and
|
|
|
|
|
the occurrence of any of the other risks described in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
|
19
Low trading volume of our common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
There is no assurance as to the depth or liquidity of the market for our common stock or the
prices at which stockholders may be able to sell their shares. As a consequence, there may be
periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as
compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will
generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. Due to these
conditions, there is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell their shares at or near
ask prices or at all.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about our business or if they
downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.
Small, relatively unknown companies can achieve visibility in the trading market through
research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish. The lack of published reports
by independent securities analysts could limit the interest in our common stock and negatively
affect our stock price. We do not have any control over the research and reports these analysts
publish or whether they will be published at all. If any analyst who does cover us downgrades our
common stock, our stock price would likely decline. If any analyst ceases coverage of our company
or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets,
which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
We do not plan to pay any cash dividends on our common stock.
We do not plan to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any
decision to pay dividends is within the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon
our profitability at the time, cash available and other factors. As a result, there is no
assurance that there will ever be any cash dividends or other distributions on our common stock.
The exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants would dilute the ownership interests of our
stockholders, and sales of the common stock acquired upon the exercise of these stock options and
warrants could cause our stock price to decline.
There are currently outstanding stock options and warrants entitling the holders to purchase
8.8 million shares of our common stock. Substantial option and warrant exercises would
significantly dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Substantial sales in the public
market of the common stock acquired upon the exercise of these options and warrants could cause the
market price of our common stock to decline. The perception among investors that these sales may
occur could produce the same adverse effect on our stock price.
Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and the interests of our stockholders
may be adversely affected if we incur indebtedness or issue additional equity securities to finance
our business operations.
There is no assurance that our future revenue will be sufficient to fund our business
operations. If our revenue is insufficient, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain
sufficient funds from debt financing or additional issuances of equity securities to finance our
business operations.
Debt financing may not be available to us in sufficient amounts, on favorable terms or at all.
The terms of any debt financing that we incur may impose restrictions on our operations, which may
include limiting our ability to incur additional indebtedness or to engage in certain business
activities such as acquisitions of other businesses. In addition, we may be subject to covenants
requiring us to satisfy certain financial tests and ratios, and our ability to satisfy such
covenants may be affected by events outside of our control. The holders of our indebtedness will
have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of our stockholders in the event
of a liquidation.
20
The sale of additional equity securities would result in dilution to our common stockholders
by reducing their proportionate ownership interest in our company. Our board of directors has the
authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock and to determine the rights,
preferences and privileges of the preferred stock without the approval of our common stockholders.
The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common
stock, restrict their rights to receive payment upon liquidation, and have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control which may be beneficial to our common stockholders.
In addition, the market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of our
common stock offered by in future securities offerings if we issue common stock at a price that is
less than the then-current market price of our common stock.
Our common stock may be delisted from the NYSE Amex, which could result in a decline in the market
price of our common stock.
On July 30, 2010, we received a written notice from the NYSE Amex stating that we are not in
compliance with the NYSE Amexs continued listing standards and that, accordingly, our common stock
is subject to a delisting proceeding. Specifically, the NYSE Amex advised us that we are not in
compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE Amexs Company Guide because our stockholders
equity is less than $6,000,000.
In accordance with Sections 1009(d) and 1203 of the NYSE Amexs Company Guide, we have the
right to appeal the determination of the NYSE Amexs staff by requesting a hearing before a Listing
Qualifications Panel. We have exercised this right and expect the hearing to occur in
mid-September 2010. Pending the hearing, our common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE
Amex.
There is no assurance that our appeal will be successful, and our common stock may
be delisted from the NYSE Amex. The market price of our common stock may be adversely affected if
our common stock is delisted from the NYSE Amex because of our failure to comply with the
exchanges continued listing standards.
If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE Amex, we anticipate that the common
stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin
Board may limit the liquidity and price of our common stock more than if the common stock were
listed on a national securities exchange. Some investors might perceive our common stock to be
less attractive if it ceases to be listed on the NYSE Amex. In addition, a company whose stock is
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board might not attract the same amount of analyst coverage that
accompanies companies listed on national securities exchanges. In addition, institutional and
other investors may have investment guidelines that restrict or prohibit investing in securities
that are quoted on the OTC Bulleting Board. All of these factors might adversely affect the market
price and trading volume of our common stock.
21
You may have difficulty selling our common stock if it is deemed a penny stock.
If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE Amex and is not thereafter listed on any
national securities exchange, the open market trading of our common stock will be subject to the
SECs penny stock rules as long as the market price of the stock is below $5.00 per share. The
penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on certain broker-dealers who
sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally an
individual with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000
together with his or her spouse). These rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction
involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the
associated risks. Under these rules, certain brokers-dealers who recommend such penny stock to
persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special
written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive the purchasers written
agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These rules might have the effect of limiting
the trading activity of our common stock, reducing the liquidity of an investment in our
common stock and increasing the transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as
compared to other securities. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by the penny
stock rules could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which
could severely limit the market liquidity of the common stock and the ability of holders of the
common stock to sell their shares.
