EZENIA! INC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Nature
of Business and Basis of Presentation
Ezenia! Inc. (Ezenia, we,
our, or the Company) operates in one business segment, which is the design,
development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of conferencing and real-time
collaboration solutions for corporate and governmental networks and eBusiness. Founded
in 1991, Ezenia develops and markets products that enable organizations to
provide high-quality group communication and collaboration capabilities to
commercial, governmental, consumer and institutional users. Ezenias products
allow individuals and groups, regardless of proximity constraints, to interact
and share information in a natural, spontaneous way voice-to-voice,
face-to-face, mouse-to-mouse, keyboard-to-keyboard, flexibly, securely and in
real-time. Using our products, individuals can interact through a natural
meeting experience, allowing groups to work together effectively and
disseminate vital information quickly in a secure environment.
The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Ezenia and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, these
financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of these interim periods. Certain footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted, although the Company believes the disclosures in these
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Companys audited financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations
for the interim periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results for
any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year.
The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could
differ materially from these estimates. The accounting policies applied
are consistent with those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as
disclosed in Note 2.
2. Revenue recognition
Product revenue consists
of sales of InfoWorkSpace (IWS) software licenses and maintenance agreements,
IWS product related training, installation, and consulting. Revenue from sales
of IWS software licenses and maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over
the subscription software license contract periods, which are generally one
year, pursuant to the guidance provided by Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition
(SOP 97-2), issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Revenue from IWS
training, installation, and consulting services are recognized as the services
are performed because we believe that we have established vendor specific
objective evidence of fair value based on the price charged when the services
are sold separately.
Product development revenue relates to contracts
involving customization of the IWS product according to customer specifications.
We account for product development revenue in conformity with the guidance
provided by SOP 81-1,
Accounting For Performance
of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts
issued
by the AICPA. When reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts
necessary to complete the product development and the contract does not include
contractual milestones or other acceptance criteria, product development
revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion contract
7
method based upon input measures, such as hours. When
such estimates are not available, we defer all revenue recognition until we
have completed the contract and have no further obligations to the customer. Revenue
associated with contracts for product development revenue with milestone-based
deliverables requiring a customers acceptance is recognized upon the customers
acceptance in accordance with the terms of the contract. The cost recognition
associated with these deliverables or milestones is deferred until the terms of
acceptance are satisfied and revenue is recognized. Certain of our product
development contracts are subject to governmental audit and retroactive
adjustment of the direct and indirect costs used to determine the contract
billings. Product development revenue and accounts receivable reported in the
financial statements are recorded at the amount expected to be received. Product
development revenue is adjusted to actual upon final audit and retroactive
adjustment. Estimated contractual allowances are provided based on managements
evaluation of current contract terms.
Service revenue represents sales of service
contracts related to the maintenance of the Companys legacy video product line.
Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the
applicable agreement.
Product and software licenses are sold without any
contractual right of return by the customer. Deferred revenue represents
amounts received from customers under subscription software licenses,
maintenance agreements, or for product sales in advance of revenue recognition.
Judgments are required in evaluating the creditworthiness of our customers. In
all instances, revenue is not recognized until we have determined, at the
outset of the arrangement that collectibility is reasonably assured. Amounts
billed to customers related to shipping and handling charges are recorded upon
shipment and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold.
3. Share-based compensation
The Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004),
Share-Based Payments
(SFAS No. 123(R)),
effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation cost to be recognized for
equity or liability instruments based on the grant date fair value, with
expense recognized over the periods that an employee provides service in
exchange for the award and requires the Company to estimate forfeitures at the
grant date. In addition, the Company
recognizes compensation cost for newly issued equity or liability
instruments over the periods that an employee provides service in exchange for
the award. Total share-based compensation cost was $98 thousand and $138
thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
and $338 thousand and $330 thousand for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively.

plans (the Plans) for the quarter
ended September 30, 2007 is as follows:

We estimate the fair value of each option award issued under the Plans
on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes based option-pricing model that uses
the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based
on historical volatility of our common stock. We base the expected term of the
options on our historical option exercise data with a minimum life expected
equal to the vesting period of the option. We base the risk-free interest rate
on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for a term
closest to the expected life of the options.

Based on the above
assumptions, the weighted average estimated fair value of options granted
during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.10 and $1.94
per share, respectively. The weighted average estimated fair value of options
granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.91 and
$2.39 per share, respectively. We estimated forfeitures related to option
grants at an annual rate of 25% and 20% during the period ending September 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively.
Other reasonable
assumptions about these factors could provide different estimates of fair value.
Future changes in stock price volatility, life of options, interest rates,
forfeitures and dividend practices, if any, may require changes in our
assumptions, which could materially affect the calculation of fair value.
Total unrecognized
equity-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, expected
to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.44 years, amounted to $1.7
million at September 30, 2007.
4. Research and development costs
We account for research and development
costs in accordance with several accounting pronouncements, including SFAS
No. 2,
Accounting
for Research and Development Costs
, and SFAS No. 86,
Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed
.
SFAS No. 86 specifies that costs incurred internally in researching and
developing a computer software product should be charged to expense until
technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once
9
technological feasibility is established,
all software costs should be capitalized until the product is available for
general release to customers. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we
released version 3.0 of our IWS software product. In connection with this
development effort, a total of $140 thousand of costs were capitalized and will
be amortized on a straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic
life of the product, which we have determined to be two years.
Judgment is required in determining when
technological feasibility of a product is established. In most cases, we have
determined that technological feasibility for our software products/updates is
reached shortly before the products are released to manufacturing. Historically,
costs incurred after technological feasibility have not been material, and
accordingly, were expensed when incurred in these instances.
5. Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board
(FASB)
issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes-an interpretation of Statement No. 109
(FIN 48),
which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. Under FIN 48,
the tax effects of a position should be recognized only if it is more-likely-than-not
to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. FIN
48 also requires significant new annual disclosures in the notes to the
financial statements. The effect of adjustments at adoption should be recorded
directly to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption and reported
as a change in accounting principle. We adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007.
At December 31, 2006, we had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards
of $51.1 million expiring at various dates through 2025, and research and
development (R&D) credit carryforwards of $2.4 million expiring at
various dates through 2025. Utilization of the NOL and R&D credit
carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to
ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur
in the future provided by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as well as similar state and foreign provisions. These ownership changes
may limit the amount of NOL and R&D credit carryforwards that can be
utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In
general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from
transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups
in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a
three-year period. Since formation of our Company, we have raised capital
through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions (both pre and post
initial public offering) which, combined with the purchasing shareholders
subsequent disposition of those shares, may have resulted in a change of
control, as defined by Section 382, or could result in a change of control in
the future upon subsequent disposition. The Company has not completed a study
to assess whether a change of control has occurred or whether there have been
multiple changes of control since the Companys formation due to the
significant complexity and cost associated with such study and the fact that
there could be additional changes in control in the future. If we have
experienced a change of control at any time since our formation, utilization of
our NOL or R&D credit carryforwards would be subject to an annual
limitation under Section 382 which is determined by first multiplying the value
of our stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term
tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as
required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL or
R&D credit carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is
completed and any limitation known, no amounts are being presented as an
uncertain tax position under FIN 48.
In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108,
Considering
the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements (
SAB No.108
).
SAB
No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of
prior year misstatements in quantifying current year
misstatements for the purpose of determining whether the current years
financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 is effective for
fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We adopted SAB No. 108 during
fiscal 2006. Our 2006 financial results include a cumulative effect adjustment
for adjustments previously deemed immaterial in our revenue and cost of sales
amortization for our IWS product line and a non-
10
material correction of the 2005 income tax provision. The cumulative
effect adjustment results from applying the provisions of SAB No. 108. Historically,
the amortization of the IWS deferred revenue and the related cost of sales was
done using a full month convention of amortization, whereby a full month of
revenue and prepaid license cost was amortized in the month of license
shipment, regardless of the day of the month on which the product was shipped. This
had the effect of accelerating revenue and cost recognition. Prior to the
adoption of SAB No. 108, we used the rollover method described therein in
evaluating the materiality of financial statement adjustments related to the
license revenue and prepaid license cost amortization. We determined the impact
from the adjustment to be immaterial to current and prior periods financial
results under the rollover method. However, we have evaluated the adjustment
using the dual approach method described in SAB No. 108 and accordingly, as of
January 1, 2006, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase the
deferred revenue balance by $358 thousand and increase the prepaid software
license cost by $70 thousand, with a corresponding net charge to retained
earnings of $288 thousand. During 2006, we also identified a $100 thousand
error in the 2005 tax provision related primarily to income apportionments for
state taxes. We believe that this adjustment is immaterial to both our 2006 and
2005 financial statements. In accordance with SAB No. 108, the income tax error
was corrected as of January 1, 2006 by recording an adjustment to increase the
income tax accrual by $100 thousand, with a corresponding charge to retained
earnings of $100 thousand. In accordance with SAB No. 108, reported results for
periods prior to January 1, 2006 have not been adjusted.
The
financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were
affected by these adjustments through a $79 thousand increase in product
revenue, with a corresponding increase of $9 thousand in cost of product
revenue and a $46 thousand increase in the income tax benefit. The
financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were affected
by these adjustments through a $69 thousand increase in product revenue, with a
corresponding increase of $13 thousand in cost of product revenue and a $100
thousand increase in the income tax benefit. The adjustments had no net impact
on the Companys cash flow. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements
of operations and cash flows for the three month period ended September 30,
2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006 have been adjusted to reflect
the impact of the adoption of SAB 108.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value
Measurements
(SFAS No. 157). Among other requirements, SFAS No.
157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
also expands disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. SFAS No. 157 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 157 on
January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 157 on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Financial
Accounting Statement (FAS) No..159,
The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FAS 115
(FAS No. 159). The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified
election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair
value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a
company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that items
fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current
earnings. FAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of FAS No. 159 on
our financial position and results of operations.
6. Income
taxes
The calculation of tax assets and liabilities
involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the
application of complex tax laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
generally determined at the end of each year and based on the future tax
consequences that can be attributed to NOL and credit carryovers as well as the
differences between the
financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. The deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is
more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized. The
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future
taxable income. In determining the valuation
11
allowance, the Company considers past performance,
expected future taxable income, and qualitative factors which the Company
considers to be appropriate in estimating future taxable income. The Companys
forecast of expected future taxable income is for future periods that can be
reasonably estimated. Changes in results that differ materially from our
current expectations may cause us to change our judgment on future taxable
income. These changes, if any, may require us to adjust our existing tax
valuation allowance higher or lower than the amount we have previously
recorded.
7. Net income per share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,

8. Shareholders Equity
In October 2007, our board of directors authorized the purchase of up
to $1 million of our common stock at such times through September 2008 and in
such amounts as market conditions warrant. No purchases have been made to date.
9. Commitments and contingencies
Our contractual obligations relate primarily to our facilities leases
and a contractual purchase commitment. The primary facility in Nashua, New
Hampshire is leased under an operating lease, which expires in June 2010. The
Company also has two other leases for office space in the United States,
located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Sterling, Virginia, for sales,
development and technical support operations. These leases expire at various
dates through November 2011. In July 2007, the Company signed an additional
lease for 6,000 square feet adjacent to our existing rental space in Nashua,
New Hampshire. This additional space will allow us to eliminate offsite storage
facilities and provide additional space for our expanding workforce.
On September 24, 2007, the Company announced its plan to consolidate
its Colorado Springs and Nashua facilities in Nashua, New Hampshire by the end
of 2007. In connection with the Companys continuing effort to expand its
product offerings and customer base, the Company believes that the
consolidation into one facility will result in increased productivity, better
coordination within and across functional organizations, and optimized
utilization and deployment of personnel.
The Company expects to incur a cost of
approximately $211 thousand in connection with the Colorado Springs leased
facility. The Company estimates that the total amount of cost expected to be
incurred in connection with the restructuring (including the lease expense) is
approximately $500 thousand. The lease expense of $211 thousand is expected to
be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007 when the Company ceases using the
facility and the remaining approximately $289 thousand for primarily relocation
and retention costs will be recorded as incurred over the following six months.
It is expected that the entire expense will be a cash expenditure.
12
In April 2007, the Company entered into a new agreement with Microsoft
to extend an existing software distribution license agreement through 2008. Under
the agreement, the Company is required to purchase a minimum of $1.7 million of
product licenses during fiscal year 2007, and a minimum of $2.75 million of
product licenses during fiscal year 2008, with an additional $0.5 million over
the life of the agreement.
After a review of the current forecast for license sales for the
balance of the year, the Company recorded a charge of $1.45 million to reserve
for excess purchase commitments under the Microsoft agreement. The charge was
recorded as a component of cost of product revenue during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The Company is continuing its efforts to
maximize utilization of licenses on hand and licenses under commitment. The
computation of the excess purchase commitment reserve requires management to
make certain assumptions regarding future license renewals and sales growth. Actual
results may differ materially from managements estimates.
Ezenia is subject to a
variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course
of its business.
Currently
we are not a defendant in any claims or suits.
10. Related Party Transactions
During 2007, the Company
engaged Carmen Group, Inc. as consultants to assist in the development and
implementation of a strategy for marketing our products to Federal purchasers
within the Department of Defense and appropriate adjacent markets. The
President of the Carmen Group is the son of a member of our Board of Directors.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid the
Carmen Group, Inc. $65 thousand and $125 thousand, respectively, for consulting
services.

Overview
For the quarter
ended September 30, 2007, revenue declined approximately 32.0%, operating loss
was approximately $2.3 million, including the Microsoft charge of $1.4 million
described below, and earnings per share were ($0.14), down $0.17 per share,
when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Revenue relating to our
InfoWorkSpace (IWS) product declined approximately 32.5% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2007 as compared to the comparable period in 2006. We believe
that these results demonstrate the impact of the budgetary constants within the
Department of Defense (DOD) in 2007. In addition, the Company is currently
protesting certain procurement practices of the U.S. Government related to
certain contracts issued by the Army and/or Defense Information System Agency. No
assurances can be made as to the outcome of this matter, nor the effect of this
pending protest on the Companys declining revenue. IWS-related revenue
accounted for nearly 100% of total revenues. We continued to see a decline in
revenue related to our legacy videoconferencing product line as expected. Operating
expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to approximately 104% for the
quarter ending September 30, 2007, as compared to approximately 50.5% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, as we continued to invest in research &
development expenditures to expand IWS functionality, along with the sales and
marketing infrastructure.
In April 2007, the Company entered into a new agreement with Microsoft
to extend an existing software distribution license agreement through 2008. Under
the agreement, the Company is required to purchase a minimum of $1.7 million of
product during fiscal year 2007, and a minimum of $2.75 million during fiscal
year 2008, with an additional $0.5
million over the life of the agreement. After a review of the current forecast
for license sales for the balance of the year, the Company recorded a charge of
$1.45 million to reserve for excess purchase commitments under the Microsoft
agreement. The charge was recorded as a component of cost of product revenue
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company is
continuing its efforts to maximize utilization of licenses on hand and licenses
under commitment. The computation of the excess purchase commitment reserve
requires management to make certain assumptions regarding future license
renewals and sales growth. Actual results may differ materially from managements
estimates.
On a year-to-date basis, revenue has declined by approximately 29.7%,
gross profit has declined 60.8%, operating expenses have increased 25.7% and
earnings per share have declined by $0.36 when compared to the nine month
period ended September 30, 2006. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue
increased to approximately 76.8% for the nine month period ended September 30,
2007, from 43.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006.
In June 2007, we
released our newest version of IWS, version 3.0.6, which includes an increased
array of features and capabilities that bring new benefits and flexibility to
both end users and system administrators. In addition, the latest version of
Ezenias flagship product builds upon the existing robust security
infrastructure to provide even higher levels of information assurance within
the collaborative environment. Highlights of IWS v3.0.6 include: Ezenias
dynamically-downloadable client capability, EZinFORM for better management of
team activities, EZinCMD for faster decision-making in real-time, more flexible
license management options and improved security capability and compliance with
critical standards.
Our current
business focus is to continue to enhance our various collaborative product and
service offerings, and to continue to develop and ultimately to deploy the
enhanced products and services, while continuing our investment in expanding
our sales, service, engineering, and marketing organizations. We will continue
to focus on expanding our customer base within the DOD and intelligence
community, while pursuing new opportunities with various agencies and first
responders dealing with the threat of terrorism and natural
14
disasters, as well
as being opportunistic on potential commercial applications. This focus is
subject to change as the driving influence in our future direction will be
based on the needs of our customer base both current and future. The market for
multi-media collaboration products is highly competitive and we expect both
competition and the overall market for competitive products to significantly
increase in the future. In addition, some of our current and potential
competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical,
sales, and marketing resources. If we are unable to retain our existing
customers in the U.S. government, or we are unable to convince a sufficient
number of new companies or customers with an interest in collaborative
technologies to adopt the IWS collaborative software product over alternative
technologies marketed by our competitors, our financial results would suffer. We
believe that the key differentiating factors in the market will continue to be
breadth of capabilities, demonstrated interoperability, price, performance,
network management capabilities, reliability, scalability, customer support and
security.
Results
of Operations
Three months ended September 30,
2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006
Revenue:
Revenue declined 32.0%
to approximately $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from
approximately $3.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. This
decline in revenue was related to reduced sales of our IWS product line, which
includes license, maintenance, consulting, training, and product development
revenue. Approximately 80.0% of the IWS revenue decline resulted from the
partial and delayed IWS license renewals related to the U.S. Army and Defense
Intelligence Agency. The remaining 20.0% is primarily attributable to delays in
exercise activities by several major customers which normally require support
from us. Product development revenue is revenue related to customization work
performed for customers seeking enhancements to our current product and is
generally milestone-based and not recognized until such work is completed and
accepted by the customer. IWS product-related revenues accounted for 100% of
our revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, as compared to
approximately 99.5% for the same period in 2006. Revenue from legacy
videoconferencing products decreased approximately 100% for the period ended
September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. We expect our
legacy videoconferencing products and related services will not provide us with any significant
future revenue.
Revenue from international markets accounted for less than 1% of total
revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as well as the same
period in 2006.
Gross
Profit:
Cost of revenues includes material
costs, costs of third-party software licenses, assembly labor and overhead,
customer support costs, and engineering and development costs associated with
product development revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was a
negative 7.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to
approximately 66.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The decline in
gross profit is primarily attributed to the Microsoft charge of $1.4 million,
reduced IWS training and consulting engagements and a decline in license
shipments for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Research
and Development:
Research
and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, other
headcount-related costs, and miscellaneous costs associated with product
development. Research and development expenses increased 24.3% to approximately
$603 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from approximately $485
thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The majority of this
increase was due to spending in 2007 attributed to the enhancement of our
various collaborative product and service offerings. Additional consulting
dollars have also been spent to augment the existing staff working on new
products.
15
Sales
and Marketing:
Sales
and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other
headcount-related costs associated with sales and marketing personnel,
advertising, tradeshows, seminars, and other marketing-related programs. Sales
and marketing expenses increased 48.2%, to approximately $568 thousand for the
quarter ended September 30, 2007 from approximately $384 thousand for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, due to an increase in employee head count and
related compensation costs plus an increase in consulting costs.
General
and Administrative:
General
and administrative expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other
headcount-related costs associated with the finance, human resources, management
information systems, and other administrative headcount, and legal and investor
relations costs, and other administrative fees. General and administrative
expenses increased 52.0% to
approximately $761 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as
compared to approximately $500 thousand for the quarter ended September 30,
2006, primarily due to an increase in travel, relocation bonus accrual,
salaries and related costs, legal expenses, Sarbanes Oxley implementation
consultant fees, and tax-related expenses.
Occupancy
and Other Facilities-Related Expenses:
Occupancy
and other facilities-related expenses include rent expense and other operating
costs associated with our headquarters facility located in Nashua, New
Hampshire, and our two other sales and development offices located in Colorado
and Virginia. Occupancy costs increased 21.1% to approximately $125 thousand
during the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to
approximately $104 thousand for the corresponding period in 2006. The increase
in spending was primarily due to the rental of additional space in our Colorado
office beginning in February 2006 at a reduced rental expense for the balance
of 2006, plus an increase in telephone/networking expenses.
Interest
Income, net:
Interest
income, net, consists of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest
income, net, declined to approximately $146 thousand for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 from approximately, $155 thousand for the same period in 2006.
The decline is due to a slight decrease in cash available for investment during
the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Other
Income:
Other
income consists primarily of gains on the Companys cash equivalents.
Income
Tax:
Due to the loss
position for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, no taxes were recorded. For
the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the reported income tax expenses
consisted of an estimate of federal and state income tax expense.
Nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2006
Revenue:
Revenue declined 29.7%
to approximately $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from
approximately $10.2 million reported for the nine months ended September 30,
2006. This decline in revenue was primarily related to reduced sales of our IWS
product line, which includes license, maintenance, consulting, training, and
product development revenue. IWS product-related revenue accounted for
approximately 99.9% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, as compared to approximately 99.2% for the same period in 2006. Revenue
from legacy videoconferencing products decreased approximately 91.4% for the
period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. We
expect our legacy videoconferencing products and related services will not
provide us with any significant future revenue.
Revenue from international markets, primarily derived from sales of
videoconferencing products and related services, accounted for less than 1% of
total revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared
to approximately 2% for the same period in 2006.
16
Gross
Profit:
Cost of revenue includes material
costs, costs of third-party software licenses, assembly labor and overhead,
customer support costs, and engineering and development costs associated with
product development revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was approximately
37.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to
approximately 67.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decline
in gross profit is primarily attributed to the Microsoft charge of $1.5
million, reduced IWS training and consulting engagements and a decline in
margin from approximately 65.2% as a result of increased
third party
content in our current development contract for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 to 24.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Research
and Development:
Research
and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, other
headcount-related costs, and miscellaneous costs associated with product
development. Research and development expenses increased 35.9% to approximately
$1,695 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from
approximately $1,247 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The
majority of this increase was due to spending in 2007 attributed to the
enhancement of our various collaborative product and service offerings. Additional
consulting dollars have also been spent to augment the existing staff working
on new products.
Sales
and Marketing:
Sales
and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other
headcount-related costs associated with sales and marketing personnel,
advertising, tradeshows, seminars, and other marketing-related programs. Sales
and marketing expenses increased 36.9%,
to approximately $1,425 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from
approximately $1,041 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, due
to an increase in employee headcount and related compensation costs, higher
recruiting costs, lower commission expense, and an increase in consulting
costs.
General and
Administrative:
General
and administrative expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other
headcount-related costs associated with the finance, human resources,
management information systems, and other administrative headcount, legal and
investor relations costs, and other administrative fees. General and
administrative expenses increased 12.2% to approximately $1,928 thousand for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $1,719
thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to an
increase in stock-based compensation, employee compensation and networking
expenses.
Occupancy
and Other Facility-Related Expenses:
Occupancy
and other facilities-related expenses include rent expense and other operating
costs associated with our headquarters facility located in Nashua, New
Hampshire, and two other sales and development offices located in Colorado and
Virginia. Occupancy costs increased 16.0% to approximately $354 thousand during
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to approximately
$305 thousand for the corresponding period in 2006. The increase in spending
was primarily due to the rental of additional space in our Colorado office plus
an increase in telephone/networking expenses.
Interest
Income, net:
Interest
income, net, consists of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest
income, net, increased to approximately $453 thousand for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 from approximately $337 thousand for the period ended
September 30, 2006. The increase was due to an increase of cash available for
investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, together with higher interest rates.
Other
Income:
Other
income consists primarily of gains on the Companys cash equivalents.
Income
Tax:
Due to the
loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, there were no state or federal income taxes. The
amount reported as current income tax expense for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006 was comprised of current income tax expense of approximately
$1.1 million, in both federal and state taxes. In addition, the amount includes
a deferred tax benefit of approximately $1.2
17
million associated with the release of a portion of our valuation
allowance based on our conclusion that a portion of the deferred tax asset
would be realized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2007, we had cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $11.4 million.
We incurred a loss from operations of approximately $2.8 million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2007, and a net loss for the period of
approximately $2.3 million, as compared with an operating profit of
approximately $2.5 million and net profit of approximately $2.9 million in the
nine month period ended September 30, 2006.
In the nine month period ended September 30,
2007, we used cash from operations of approximately $667 thousand compared to
generating cash of approximately $2.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Cash was generated by decreases in accounts receivable and
prepaid software licenses offset by a decrease in accounts payable and deferred
revenue. Increases in cash provided by operating activities in the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 were primarily the result of increases in net income
and decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, offset by increased
uses for working capital attributable to a decrease in accounts payable and
deferred revenue and an increase in prepaid software licenses.
In
October 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $1
million of our common stock at such times through September 2008 and in such
amounts as market conditions warrant. No purchases have been made to date.
We
invested approximately $229 thousand in property and equipment during the first
nine months of 2007 compared to approximately $146 thousand during the first
nine months of 2006. We also invested approximately $140 thousand in
capitalized software costs associated with the release of version 3.0 of IWS
during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. We generated cash from
financing activities of approximately $27 thousand during the first nine months
of 2007 and $17 thousand during the first nine months of 2006, due to proceeds
from sales of the Companys common stock pursuant to our various stock plans.
Our contractual obligations relate primarily to our facilities leases and
a contractual purchase commitment. We lease our primary facility in Nashua, New
Hampshire, under an operating lease, which expires in June 2010. We also have
two other leases for office space in the United States, located in Colorado
Springs, Colorado and Sterling, Virginia for sales, development and technical
support operations. In February 2006, we amended our operating lease for our
development and technical support operation in Colorado Springs, Colorado,
whereby we added an additional 2,010 square feet to the premises and extended
the lease for an additional five years. In July 2007, we signed an additional
lease for 6,000 square feet adjacent to our existing rented space in Nashua,
New Hampshire. This additional space will allow us to eliminate other offsite
storage facilities and provide additional office space for expanding workforce.
These leases expire at various dates through November 2011.
On September 24, 2007, the Company announced
its plan to consolidate its Colorado Springs and Nashua facilities in Nashua,
New Hampshire by the end of 2007. In connection with the Companys continuing
efforts to expand its product offerings and customer base, the Company believes
that the consolidation into one facility will result in increased productivity,
better coordination within and across functional organizations, and optimized
utilization and deployment of personnel.
The Company expects to incur a cost of
approximately $211 thousand in connection with the Colorado Springs leased facility. The Company estimates that
the total amount of cost expected to be incurred in connection with the
restructuring (including the lease expense) is approximately $500 thousand. The
lease expense of $211 thousand is expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter
of 2007 when the Company ceases using the facility and the remaining
approximately $289 thousand for primarily relocation and
18
retention costs will be recorded as incurred
over the following six months. It is expected that the entire expense will be a
cash expenditure.
In April 2007, the Company entered into a new agreement with Microsoft
to extend an existing software distribution license agreement through 2008. Under
the agreement, the Company is required to purchase a minimum of $1.7 million of
product licenses during fiscal year 2007, and a minimum of $2.75 million of
product licenses during fiscal year
2008, with an additional $0.5 million over the life of the agreement.
After a review of the current forecast for license sales for the
balance of the year, the Company recorded a charge of $1.45 million to reserve
for excess purchase commitments under the Microsoft agreement. The charge was
recorded as a component of cost of product revenue during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The Company is continuing its efforts to
maximize utilization of licenses on hand and licenses under commitment. The
computation of the excess purchase commitment reserve requires management to
make certain assumptions regarding future license renewals and sales growth. Actual
results may differ materially from managements estimates.
We include
standard intellectual property indemnification provisions in our licensing
agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to our product license
agreements, we will indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the
indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party,
generally business partners or customers, in connection with certain patent,
copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by third parties
with respect to our products. Other agreements with our customers provide
indemnification for claims relating to property damage or personal injury
resulting from the performance of services by us or our subcontractors.
Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such
indemnity agreements have been insignificant. Accordingly, the estimated fair
value of these indemnification provisions is immaterial.
In May 2003, after failing to comply with certain
continued listing standards for the NASDAQ SmallCap Market,, we received a
delisting notification from NASDAQ. After exercising our right for an appeal of
this determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, the Panel
determined to delist our securities from The NASDAQ Stock Market in August
2003. Since then, our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The
market value and liquidity of our common stock, as well as our ability to raise
additional capital, has been and may continue to be materially adversely
affected by this delisting decision.
Operating costs were in line with our expectations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Operating costs compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 increased by approximately $1,126 thousand and
were basically in the areas of research and development and sales and
marketing. We remain committed to
making the
necessary investments in building and expanding our infrastructure in fiscal
2007 and expect to see increased sales and marketing expenses during the
remainder of 2007.
Order bookings, which are purchase orders placed by
customers, are properly not recorded as revenue or recognized as revenue until
all requirements of that order are satisfied, although the cash flow received
from these orders may more closely follow the receipt date of the order. Accordingly,
management believes that its existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund
its anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the
next twelve months.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
To date, Ezenia has not utilized derivative financial
instruments or derivative commodity instruments. Ezenia invests cash in highly
liquid investments, consisting of highly rated U.S. and state government
securities, commercial paper, mutual funds and short-term money market funds.
These investments are subject to minimal credit and market risk and Ezenia has
no debt other than its contractual lease obligations. A 10% change in interest
rates would not have a material impact on Ezenias financial position,
operating results or cash flows. We have closed our foreign offices, and sales
to foreign customers from the United States are in U.S. dollars. Therefore,
Ezenia has no significant foreign currency risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule
13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of September 30, 2007, the
Companys management, under the supervision and with the participation of both
the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Companys chief executive officer and
chief financial officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed on the reports filed or submitted by the
Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the requisite time periods, including ensuring
that such material information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys
management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were
no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control
over financial reporting.
The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or
more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system
of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is currently protesting certain procurement practices of
the U.S. Government by and through various purchasing units within the
U.S.Department of the Army. The Company instituted a bid-protest action against
the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims on October 31,
2007, alleging that the Army awarded or intends to award improper sole-source
or brand name contracts related to collaboration software in violation of the
Competition in Contracting Act and the Federal Acquisition Regulation
requirements. The Company is seeking certain declarations regarding the Armys
practices in awarding these sole-source contracts, preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief prohibiting contract performance or award until the Army
conducts full and open competition, an award of the Companys legal fees and
such other relief as may be awarded by the Court. No assurances can be made as
to the outcome of this matter, nor the effect of this pending protest on the
Companys business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For factors that
could affect the Companys business, results of operation and financial
condition, see the risk factors discussion provided in Item 1A of the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There have
been no material changes to the Companys risk factors as described in that
report.
