Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
Note 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 for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2008, the results
of its operation and its cash flows for the three months then ended. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
During the periods presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements, the Company operated in two business segments which are identified
as Manufacturing and Cable offering a wide variety of wireless component and
network solutions to service providers, systems integrators, value added
resellers, businesses and consumers, primarily in the United States.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2008 or any future period.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ARC
Wireless Solutions, Inc. ("ARC"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary corporations,
Starworks Wireless Inc. ("Starworks") and ARC Wireless Hong Kong Limited,
("ARCHK"), since their respective acquisition dates. All material intercompany
accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of
approximately $5.4 million since inception in 1989. In 2005, 2004 and 2002 the
Company generated net income and in 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2003 the Company
generated losses. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the
desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future
years. Management believes that current working capital and available borrowings
on the Company's existing bank line of credit will be sufficient to allow the
Company to maintain its operations through December 31, 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to
time the Company has cash balances in excess of federally insured amounts. The
Company maintains its cash balances with several financial institutions. As of
7
March 31, 2008, the balance exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
limitation for coverage of $100,000 by approximately $14,500,000 and as of
December 31, 2007, the balance exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation limitation for coverage of $100,000 by approximately $14,800,000.
The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining such balances
with financial institutions that have high credit ratings.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's short-term financial instruments consist of cash, money market
accounts, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, accrued expenses and bank
debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value
because of their short-term maturities. Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of
cash and accounts receivable.
The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes
nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial
instruments.
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables consist of uncollateralized customer obligations due under
normal trade terms requiring payment usually within 30 days of the invoice date.
Management reviews trades receivables periodically and reduces the carrying
amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the
amount that may not be collectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was
$460,000 and $453,000 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Bad
debt expense was $7,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109) which
utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The
objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets
and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting
basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax
rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The
current and deferred tax provision is allocated among the members of the
consolidated group on the separate income tax return basis.
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- An Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109, or "FIN 48". FIN 48 provides detailed guidance for the
financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax
positions recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No.
109. Tax positions must meet a "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold at
the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in
subsequent periods. Upon the adoption of FIN 48, we had no unrecognized tax
positions. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized
no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.
We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income
tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were
accrued at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
The tax years 2003 through 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing
jurisdictions in which we operate. We expect no material changes to unrecognized
tax positions within the next twelve months.

Reclassifications
Certain balances in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. The
reclassifications had no effect on financial condition, gross profit, or net
loss.
Note 2: Share-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123(R) ("SFAS 123(R)") related to accounting for share-based
payments and, accordingly, the Company is now recording compensation expense for
share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for
stock options and restricted stock awards. Prior to 2006, share based
compensation was accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25. We are using the modified prospective method of adoption, which
allows us to apply SFAS 123(R) on a going-forward basis rather than restating
prior periods.
Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for stock
options as equity awards.
The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recorded in
general and administrative expenses during each period presented:
Three Months Ended
-------------------------------
March 31, 2008 March 31, 2007
-------------- --------------
Stock options $10,000 $ 8,000
------- -------
Total share-based compensation expense $10,000 $ 8,000

Granted --
Exercised --
Forfeited or expired (7,000) $ 6.79
------- --------
Balance at March 31, 2008 47,500 $ 5.38

The following table presents information regarding options outstanding as of
March 31, 2008:
Weighted average contractual remaining term - options outstanding 8.15
Aggregate intrinsic value - options outstanding -
Options exercisable 14,000
Weighted average exercise price - options exercisable $5.34
Aggregate intrinsic value - options exercisable -
Weighted average contractual remaining term - options exercisable 5.87
There were no options granted or exercised during the three months ended March
31, 2008.

The following weighted average assumptions were used:
Three Months Ended

--------------
Volatility .536
Expected life of options (in years) 2
Dividend yield 0.00%
Risk free interest rate 5.25%
Per share value of options granted $1.59
As of March 31, 2008, future compensation costs related to nonvested stock
options was $118,000. Management anticipates that this cost will be recognized
over a weighted average period of 4 years.
Note 3. Earnings Per Share
SFAS 128 provides for the calculation of Basic and Dilutive earnings (loss) per
share. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share,
reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings
of the entity. For periods where the Company has incurred a net loss, stock
options and stock warrants were not included in the computation of diluted loss
per share because their effect was anti-dilutive, therefore, basic and fully
diluted loss per share are the same for those periods.
The following table represents a reconciliation of the shares used to calculate
basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective periods indicated:

** There are no dilutive shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per
share, continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
since the Company had net losses for those periods.

Note 4. Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using standard costs that
approximate average cost. Inventories are reviewed periodically and items
considered to be slow-moving or obsolete are reduced to estimated net realizable
value through an appropriate reserve. Inventory consists of the following:
March 31 December 31,

Raw materials $ 970,000 $ 963,000

Inventory reserve (724,000) (704,000)
----------- -----------
Net inventory $ 1,240,000 $ 1,179,000
=========== ===========
Note 5. Revolving Bank Loan Agreements
On May 10, 2005, the Company entered into a $1.5 million revolving
line-of-credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") with Citywide Banks. The Credit
Facility has an annual maturity, was currently due May 10, 2008, with interest
at 1.5% over prime (6.75% at March 31, 2008), contains covenants to maintain
certain financial statement ratios, and is collateralized by essentially all of
the assets of ARC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Starworks, but excluding ARC
Hong Kong. The borrowing base is calculated on a percentage of trade accounts
receivable and inventory for ARC combined. On May 7, 2008, the Credit Facility
was extended to May 1, 2009. The balance outstanding on the revolving line of
credit at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $1,010,000 and $1,436,000,
respectively.
Note 6. Equity Transactions
On February 9, 2007, the Company announced a one-for-fifty reverse stock split
of its issued and outstanding common stock to be effective as of February 12,
2007 (the "Effective Date"). Pursuant to the reverse stock split, each fifty
shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock were reclassified
and combined into one share of the Company's common stock as of the Effective
Date. The number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized remained at
250 million shares, without any change in par value per common share, and the
number of shares of the Company's preferred stock authorized remained at 2
million.
As of the Effective Date, the exercise or conversion price, as well as the
number of shares issuable under each of the Company's outstanding stock option
agreements, were proportionately adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. In
addition, the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Company's
equity compensation plans, were proportionately reduced as of the Effective Date
to reflect the reverse stock split.
Stockholders' equity, common stock, and stock option activity for all periods
presented have been restated to give retroactive recognition to the reverse
stock split. In addition, all references in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements, to the weighted average shares, per share amounts, and
market prices of the Company's common stock have been restated to give
retroactive recognition to the reverse stock split.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded the issuance of
707 shares of common stock to a director for outstanding obligations for accrued
directors' fees in the amount of $3,500.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded the issuance of
800 shares of common stock to a director for outstanding obligations for accrued
directors' fees in the amount of $4,000.

Note 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"
("SFAS 157"), which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and
liabilities using fair value. SFAS 157 provides a single definition of fair
value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional
disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS
157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an
entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the
highest priority being quoted market prices in active markets. Under the
standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within
the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements
for existing assets and liabilities on the Company's balance sheet as of the
date of adoption. The adoption of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, did not have an
impact on our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of
operations.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 157 ("FSP FAS 157-2"). FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective
date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring
basis, at least annually. FSP FAS 157-2 is effective for our fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 is not expected to have
a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans--an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) ("SFAS 158"), which requires the
recognition of the funded status of benefit plans in the balance sheet. SFAS 158
also requires certain gains and losses that are deferred under current pension
accounting rules to be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net
of tax effects. These deferred costs (or income) will continue to be recognized
as a component of net periodic pension cost, consistent with current recognition
rules. For entities with no publicly traded equity securities, the effective
date for the recognition of the funded status is for fiscal years ending after
June 15, 2007. In addition, the ability to measure the plans' benefit
obligations, assets and net period cost at a date prior to the fiscal year-end
date is eliminated for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption
of the recognition element of SFAS 158 had no effect on the Company's financial
statements. The adoption of the measurement date element of SFAS 158 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities--including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value
accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets and
liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to
use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable,
guarantees, issued debt and other eligible financial instruments. SFAS 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has
elected not to adopt SFAS 159.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R establishes
principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed,
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired in
connection with a business combination. The Statement also establishes
disclosure requirements that will enable users to evaluate the nature and
financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the
adoption of SFAS 141R on the Company's financial statements.
12
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements--an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160").
SFAS 160 requires that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be
recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of
equity. SFAS 160 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient
disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This Statement is
effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that
SFAS 160 will have on its financial statements.
On March 19, 2008, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures
to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet determined
the impact, if any, that SFAS 161 will have on its financial statements.
Note 8. Concentration of Credit Risk
One customer accounted for approximately 23% and 32% of the Company's net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In November,
2007 this customer filed for bankruptcy reorganization. A reduction, delay or
cancellation of orders from this customer or the loss of this customer could
significantly reduce the Company's revenues and operating results. The Company
cannot provide assurance that this customer or any of its current customers will
continue to place orders, that orders by existing customers will continue at
current or historical levels or that the Company will be able to obtain orders
from new customers.
Note 9. Industry Segment Information
SFAS No. 131 "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" requires that the Company disclose certain information about its
operating segments where operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial
information is required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for
evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to
segments.
The Company has two reportable segments that are separate business units that
offer different products as follows: antenna manufacturing and cable products.
Each segment consists of a single operating unit and the accounting policies of
the reporting segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded
at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany profit on intersegment sales and
transfers.

Financial information regarding the Company's two continuing operating segments
(which include segment eliminations) for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2007 are as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and
2007
Total revenues were $1,894,000 and $1,581,000 for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively. The $313,000 increase in
revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2007 is attributable a $364,000 increase in revenues from
our Wireless Communications Solutions Division partially offset by a decrease of
$51,000 in revenues from our Starworks subsidiary.
Gross profit margins were 38% and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and March 31, 2007, respectively. The 46% increase in gross margin is primarily
the result of lower operating costs resulting from our efforts in successfully
transitioning most of our production to China through our Hong Kong subsidiary,
ARCHK, as well as reducing overhead from our U.S. operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased by $61,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31,
2007. Approximately $15,000 was due to increased costs associated with ARC
Wireless Hong Kong Limited. Other increases in SG&A costs comparing 2008 to 2007
include; salaries and wages $15,000, depreciation $12,000, bad debt reserve
$7,000, sales tax $6,000. SG&A as a percent of total revenues decreased from 55%
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 49% for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. Salaries and wages, including commissions, remains the largest
component of SG&A costs, constituting 51% of the total SG&A costs for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.
Net interest expense was $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008
compared to $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily related
to capital lease obligations which increased $135,000 from March 31, 2007.
Other income in 2008 and 2007, represent interest income on funds invested from
the sale of Winncom. The decline in interest income from 2007 to 2008 is due to
a decline in the interest rates on US Treasury Bills where a significant portion
of the funds are invested.
There is no provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2007, due to net losses.
The Company had a net loss of $106,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008
as compared to a net loss of $298,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The decrease in the net loss from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to an increase
in revenues and an increase in gross margin resulting in an increase in gross
profit of $304,000, partially offset by an increase of $61,000 in SG&A and a
decrease of $47,000 in interest income.
Financial Condition
The net cash provided by operating activities was $177,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$456,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The two primary reasons for
the change is a $192,000 reduction in the net loss from 2007 to 2008 and the
reduction in trade accounts receivable of $351,000.
The net cash used in investing activities from was $29,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to $25,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2007, primarily the result of expenditures for patents and equipment.
15
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008
was $447,000 compared to $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
the increase in the net cash used is primarily the result of repayments on the
line of credit of $426,000.
The Company's working capital at March 31, 2008, was $14,895,000 compared to
$14,993,000 at December 31, 2007. The slight decrease as of March 31, 2008 is
due primarily to the net loss.
On May 10, 2005, the Company entered into a $1.5 million revolving
line-of-credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") with Citywide Banks. The Credit
Facility has an annual maturity, was currently due May 10, 2008, with interest
at 1.5% over prime (6.75% at March 31, 2008), contains covenants to maintain
certain financial statement ratios, and is collateralized by essentially all of
the assets of ARC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Starworks, but excluding
ARCHK. The borrowing base is calculated on a percentage of trade accounts
receivable and inventory for ARC combined. On May 7, 2008, the Credit Facility
was extended to May 11, 2009. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, ARC
was in compliance with these covenants. The balance outstanding on the revolving
line of credit at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $1,010,000 and
$1,436,000, respectively.
Effective October 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of Winncom. In
connection with the sale, we received $17,000,000 in cash on November 1, 2006.
Management believes that the proceeds from the sale of Winncom, current working
capital and available borrowings on existing bank lines of credit will be
sufficient to allow the Company to maintain its operations through December 31,
2008 and into the foreseeable future.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements
other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report,
including "Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations", regarding our financial position, business strategy,
plans and objectives of our management for future operations and capital
expenditures, and other matters, other than historical facts, are
forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected
in such forward-looking statements and the assumptions upon which the
forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, we can give no assurance
that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
Additional statements concerning important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from our expectations were disclosed in Item 1A,
"Risk Factors" on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2007. There have been no material changes to the Company's risk factors from
those disclosed in the Company's 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The words
"believe", "may", "will", "when", "estimate", "continue", "anticipate",
"intend", "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to ARC, our business
or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All
written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting
on our behalf subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the Risk Factors set forth in our Form 10-K.
16
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have not used derivative financial instruments.
We are exposed to market risk through interest rates related to our line of
credit which has variable interest rates equal to the existing bank prime rate
(5.25% as of March 31, 2008) plus one and one-half percent and to a lesser
degree our capitalized lease obligations. The prime interest rate decreased from
8.25% at March 31, 2007 to 5.25% at March 31, 2008. A decrease in the bank's
prime interest rate on our line of credit would not have a material effect due
to the fact that the line of credit is rarely used due to our significant cash
and cash equivalents.
In addition, we are exposed to market risk on interest rates earned on excess
funds from proceeds from the sales of Winncom. The excess funds are invested in
short term money market securities and a reduction in the interest rate of 1%
would reduce our interest income by $150,000 based on the average amount
invested in 2007. Our management believes that fluctuation in interest rates in
the near term will not materially affect our consolidated operating results,
financial position or cash flow.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our Chief Financial Officer
("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, or "disclosure controls," pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(b). Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to
reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, or persons performing
similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Our disclosure controls include some, but not all, components of our
internal control over financial reporting. Based upon that evaluation, the
Company's management, including our CEO and CFO concluded that as of March 31,
2008 our disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that the
information relating to us required to be disclosed in our Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure..
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's
report in this quarterly report.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In
17
evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting,
our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings of a
nature considered normal in the course of its operations. These are principally
accounts receivable collections. While it is not feasible to predict or
determine the final outcome of these proceedings, management has reserved as an
allowance for doubtful accounts for that portion of the accounts receivable it
estimates will be uncollectible.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Additional statements concerning important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from our expectations were disclosed in Item 1A,
"Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed
in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On January 22, 2008, the Company recorded the issuance of 707 shares of common
stock to Mr. Robert E. Wade, a director, for outstanding obligations for accrued
director's fees in the amount of $3,500. This issuance was granted based on
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and applicable state laws pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. This issuance qualified for this
exemption from registration because (i) the Company did not engage in any
general solicitation or advertising to market the securities; (ii) all the
Company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 were made
available to Mr. Wade; (iii) Mr. Wade was provided the opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the issuance; (iv) Mr.
Wade has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that he
was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company;
and (v) Mr. Wade received "restricted securities" that include a restrictive
legend on the certificate.
