ITEM
1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Through
March 2006, we operated in two reportable segments: software consulting and
development and computer hardware sales.
· |
Software
Consulting and Development—Providing
consulting and development services for computer software and systems,
primarily through our dsIT Solutions Ltd.
subsidiary.
|
· |
Computer
Hardware Sales—Serving
as an authorized dealer and a value-added-reseller (VAR) of computer
hardware, through our Databit
subsidiary.
|
In
August
2005, we completed the sale of our dsIT Technologies outsourcing consulting
business. In the past, these operations accounted for a significant portion
of
our software consulting and development segment revenues (previous years amounts
have been restated to reflect these discontinued operations). In addition,
as we
no longer have control over our formerly consolidated subsidiary Comverge Inc.
(see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), effective as of the
second quarter of 2003, we account for our investment in Comverge by the equity
method and no longer consolidate Comverge's balances and operating activity
into
our consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. Comverge’s
previously consolidated results comprised our energy intelligence solutions
segment.
In
March
2006, we completed
the sale of our
Databit computer hardware sales subsidiary to one
of
our executive officers.
As a
result of the sale, we will no longer have activity in our computer hardware
segment after the first quarter of 2006. For
additional disclosure regarding the sale of Databit and certain related
transactions, see Recent Developments.

SOFTWARE
CONSULTING AND DEVELOPMENT
Services
Through
our dsIT Solutions Ltd. (“dsIT”) subsidiary, we provide globally oriented
solutions in the areas of real-time & embedded systems (“RT”) and
information technology (“IT”). In August 2005, we sold our dsIT Technologies
Ltd. outsourcing consulting business. In previous years, these operations
accounted for approximately two-thirds of the revenues of the software
consulting and development segment. The strategic decision to sell this business
has allowed us to focus our efforts on our RT and IT solutions business, which
we believe, offers greater potential for growth. Since the sale, segment
revenues have been generated almost entirely from dsIT’s solutions activities.
dsIT’s
RT
solutions activities are focused on two areas - naval solutions and other
real-time and embedded hardware & software development. Our naval solutions
include a full range of sonar and acoustic-related solutions to the commercial,
defense and homeland security markets. These solutions include:
· |
Diver
Detection Sonar (DDS);
|
· |
Mobile
Acoustic Range (MAR);
|
· |
Harbor
Surveillance System (HSS); and
|
· |
Underwater
Acoustic Signal Analysis system (UASA)
|
Our
other
real-time and embedded hardware & software development solutions expertise
include:
· |
Computerized
vision for the Semiconductors industry;
|
· |
Modems
& data links;
|
· |
Bluetooth
solutions;
|
· |
VOIP/ROIP
applications;
|
· |
Operation
control consoles and HMI applications;
and
|
· |
Command
& control applications
|
dsIT’s
IT
solutions include its OncoPro™ solution for healthcare markets. OncoPro™ is a
state of the art chemotherapy package for oncology and hematology departments,
based on experience gained in the largest cancer center in Israel. We also
offer
EasyBillTM,
an
easy-to-use, end-to-end, modular customer care and billing system designed
especially for small and medium-sized enterprises with large and expanding
customer bases.
dsIT
has
initiated discussions for strategic alliances for marketing its sonar technology
and OncoPro™ solutions and as well as marketing products for other software
developers. We expect some of these discussions to come to fruition during
the
coming quarters.
During
2003, 2004 and 2005, sales from our RT solutions activities were $3.1 million,
$2.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 74%,
60% and 69% of segment sales for 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Sales from
our IT solutions activities were $1.1 million, $1.3 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, accounting for approximately 26%,
40%
and 31%
of segment sales for 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
We
generally provide our RT and IT solutions on a fixed-price basis. When
working on a fixed-price basis, we undertake to deliver software or
hardware/software solutions to a customer’s specifications or requirements for a
particular project, accounting for these services on the
percentage-of-completion method. Since the profit margins on these projects
are
primarily determined by our success in controlling project costs, the margins
on
these projects may vary as a result of various factors, including
underestimating costs, difficulties associated with implementing new
technologies and economic and other changes that may occur during the term
of
the contract.
Customers
and Markets
Israel
is
the primary area of this segment’s operations, accounting for 98%, 100% and 100%
of segment sales in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. We expect this
concentration to continue in the future. We have created significant
relationships with some of Israel’s largest companies in its defense,
electronics and healthcare industries including Israel’s largest HMO. In
addition, dsIT is investing considerable effort to penetrate European, Asian
and
other markets in order to broaden its geographic sales base, particularly with
respect to our sonar technology solutions and our OncoPro™ healthcare
application. Four customers accounted for 66% (23%, 17%, 15% and 11%,
respectively) of segment sales in 2005 (three customers accounted for 60% of
segment sales in 2004 (27%, 19% and 13%, respectively)).
-2-
Competition
Our
software consulting and development activity faces competition from numerous
competitors, both large and small, operating in the Israeli and United States
markets, some with substantially greater financial and marketing resources.
We
believe that our wide range of experience and long-term relationships with
large
corporations as well as the
strategic
partnerships we
are
developing will
enable us to compete successfully and obtain future business.
Proprietary
Rights
The
customer, for whom the services are performed, generally owns the intellectual
property rights resulting from our consulting and development services. We
own
two proprietary software packages: EasyBillTM,
a
comprehensive customer service and billing system aimed at the low to middle
end
application market; and OncoProTM,
which
manages hospital medical files and has advanced applications for oncology
departments. These are licenses for use by customers, while we retain ownership
of the intellectual property.
COMPUTER
HARDWARE SALES
Products
and Services
On
March
10, 2006, we sold our Databit computer hardware sales subsidiary.
In the
past, Databit provided all the revenue in our computer hardware segment. As
a
result of the sale, we will no longer have
activity in our computer hardware segment after the first quarter of 2006.
Through
the date of its
sale,
Databit
was
engaged in the sale
and
service of PC-based computer hardware, software, data storage, client/server
and
networking solutions to large and midsize customers, operating as a
value-added-reseller and/or an authorized service provider for equipment and
software from such well-known industry leaders as HP/Compaq, IBM, Microsoft,
Oracle, 3Com, NEC, Acer, Apple and Dell. Through the operations of the segment,
we offered our customers a full range of systems integration services, including
design, implementation, hardware and software selection, and implementation
of
local and wide area networks, as well as maintenance and service to customers
under seperate priced and negotiated extended service agreements.
Customers
and Markets
Computer
hardware segment sales included sales to two major customers, Montefiore Medical
Center, a major New York medical center, which accounted for approximately
28%,
40% and 33% of segment sales and 19%, 34%, and 27% of consolidated sales in
2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and 67% and 54% of the segment’s receivables
and 37% and 34% of consolidated receivables, at the end of 2004 and 2005,
respectively, and a large law firm which accounted for approximately 5%, 5%
and
22% of segment sales and 3%, 4%, and 18% of consolidated sales in 2003, 2004
and
2005, respectively, and 2% and 6% of the segment’s receivables and 1% and 4% of
consolidated receivables, at the end of 2004 and 2005. No other customer
accounted for more than 10% of segment sales. Most of our sales are made in
the
New York City Metropolitan area, with sales in this area accounting for 71%,
75%
and 70% of segment revenues in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
ENERGY
INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS
Effective
as of the second quarter of 2003, as a result of Comverge’s successful placement
of private equity, we ceased to own a controlling interest in Comverge.
Accordingly, Comverge’s financial results were no longer fully consolidated into
our results. However, we continue to own a significant minority interest in
Comverge and its financial results are included in our financial statements
by
utilization of the equity method of accounting. Comverge continues to play
a
major role in our corporate strategy, and during the periods presented in this
Annual Report, Comverge continued to have a material effect on our financial
results.
-3-
Comverge
designs, develops and markets a full spectrum of products, services and turnkey
solutions to electric utilities and transmission and distribution companies
that
provide capacity during periods of peak electricity demand and allow their
residential and commercial customers to conserve energy. These Demand Response
solutions allow Comverge’s customers to reduce usage or “shed load” during peak
usage periods, such as the summer air conditioning season, thereby reducing
or
eliminating the need to buy costly additional power on the spot market, or
invest in new peaking generation capacity. Demand Response solutions are
cost-effective and environmentally superior to building new generation
capabilities.
In
addition to Demand Response solutions, Comverge also offers a combination of
intelligent hardware and a suite of software products, which, together or
separately, help customers address energy usage issues through data
communications and analysis, real-time pricing and integrated billing and
reporting. Comverge’s two-way data communications solutions allow utilities to
gather, transmit, verify and analyze real-time usage information, and can be
used for automated meter reading, support time-of-use metering, theft detection,
remote connect/disconnect and other value-added services.
Comverge’s principal offices are located in East Hanover, New Jersey and
Atlanta, Georgia. In addition, Comverge operates satellite offices in Newark,
California, Pensacola, Florida and Tel Aviv, Israel.
BACKLOG
As
of
December 31, 2005, our backlog of work to be completed was $1.8 million, all
of
which related to our software consulting and development segment. We estimate
that we will perform approximately $1.7 million of our backlog work in 2006.
EMPLOYEES
At
December 31, 2005, we employed a total of 94 people, including 55 in engineering
and technical support, 13 in marketing and sales, and 26 in management,
administration and finance. A total of 68 of our employees are based in Israel.
Of the 26 employees in the United States, 25 were in our Databit computer
hardware sales company (four in engineering and technical support, 12 in
marketing and sales, and nine in management, administration and finance), which
we sold in March 2006. We consider our relationship with our employees to be
satisfactory.
We
have
no collective bargaining agreements with any of our employees. However, with
regard to our Israeli activities, certain provisions of the collective
bargaining agreements between the Israeli Histadrut (General Federation of
Labor
in Israel) and the Israeli Coordination Bureau of Economic Organizations
(including the Industrialists Association) are applicable by order of the
Israeli Ministry of Labor. These provisions mainly concern the length of the
workday, contributions to a pension fund, insurance for work-related accidents,
procedures for dismissing employees, determination of severance pay and other
conditions of employment. We generally provide our Israeli employees with
benefits and working conditions beyond the required minimums. Israeli law
generally requires severance pay upon the retirement or death of an employee
or
termination of employment without due cause. Furthermore, Israeli employees
and
employers are required to pay specified amounts to the National Insurance
Institute, which administers Israel’s social security programs. The payments to
the National Insurance Institute include health tax and are approximately 5%
of
wages (up to a specified amount), of which the employee contributes
approximately 70% and the employer approximately 30%.
SEGMENT
INFORMATION

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 16 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

ITEM
1A. RISK
FACTORS
We
may
from time to time make written or oral statements that contain forward-looking
information. However, our actual results may differ materially from our
expectations, statements or projections. The following risks and uncertainties
could cause actual results to differ from our expectations, statements or
projections.
GENERAL
FACTORS
We
have a history of operating losses and decreasing cash available for
operations.
We
have a
history of operating losses, although these losses and our use of cash to fund
our operating activities have decreased over the years. In 2003, 2004 and 2005,
we had operating losses of $5.2 million, $2.6 million and $2.2 million,
respectively. Cash used in operations in 2003, 2004 and 2005 was $1.0
million, $0.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Although
our operating results improved towards the end of 2005, almost achieving
breakeven in the fourth quarter of 2005, the balance of cash on hand as of
the
end of 2005 may not be sufficient to fund our operating activities for the
next
12 months, particularly as we expect to require additional resources to fund
anticipated growth in our dsIT subsidiary in 2006. In addition, in March 2006,
we sold our Databit computer hardware sales company, which in the past, helped
to fund our corporate activities in the US. While the sale released previously
restricted cash to us to help us finance corporate activities, we have no
guarantee that such amounts will be sufficient. However, we continue to consider
various restructuring, merger or acquisition and/or additional financing
transactions, which would give us additional liquidity. Should we need
additional liquidity to finance our US activities and should we be unsuccessful
in completing a timely transaction providing the necessary liquidity, we may
not
have sufficient funds to finance our US activities. In such event, we might
need
to sell additional assets.
We
believe that the balance of cash available after the release of restricted
funds
subsequent to our sale of Databit, the proceeds of our recently settled lawsuit,
lines of credit available to our dsIT subsidiary and expected profits from
the
operations dsIT should provide sufficient liquidity to fund all our activities
for at least the next 12 months in both our US and Israeli operations.
For
additional discussion of our liquidity position and factors that may affect
our
future liquidity, see the discussion under the captions “Recent Developments”
and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Loss
of the services of a few key employees could harm our operations.
We
depend
on our key management, technical employees and sales personnel. The loss of
certain managers could diminish our ability to develop and maintain
relationships with customers and potential customers. The loss of certain
technical personnel could harm our ability to meet development and
implementation schedules. The loss of certain sales personnel could have a
negative effect on sales to certain current customers. Most of our significant
employees are bound by confidentiality and non-competition agreements. We do
not
maintain a “key man” life insurance policy on any of our executives or
employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to
identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial
personnel. If we fail to attract or retain highly qualified technical and
managerial personnel in the future, our business could be
disrupted.
A
failure to integrate our new management may adversely affect
us.
We
appointed a new chief financial officer and chief accounting officer in December
2005 and recently appointed a new president and chief executive officer. Any
failure to effectively
integrate our new management
and any
new
management controls, systems and procedures
they may
implement,
could
materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
-5-
RISKS
RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE CONSULTING AND DEVELOPMENT SEGMENT
Failure
to accurately forecast costs of fixed-priced contracts could reduce our
margins.
When
working on a fixed-price basis, we undertake to deliver software or integrated
hardware/software solutions to a customer’s specifications or requirements for a
particular project. The profits from these projects are primarily determined
by
our success in correctly estimating and thereafter controlling project costs.
Costs may in fact vary substantially as a result of various factors, including
underestimating costs, difficulties with new technologies and economic and
other
changes that may occur during the term of the contract. If, for any reason,
our
costs are substantially higher than expected, we may incur losses on fixed-price
contracts.
Hostilities
in the Middle East region may slow down the Israeli hi-tech market and may
harm
our Israeli operations; our Israeli operations may be negatively affected by
the
obligations of our personnel to perform military service.
Our
software consulting and development services segment is currently conducted
in
Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel
may
directly affect this segment of our business. Any increase in hostilities in
the
Middle East involving Israel could weaken the Israeli hi-tech market, which
may
result in a significant deterioration of the results of our Israeli operations.
In addition, an increase in hostilities in Israel could cause serious disruption
to our Israeli operations if acts associated with such hostilities result in
any
serious damage to our offices or those of our customers or harm to our
personnel.
Many
of
our employees in Israel are obligated to perform military reserve duty. In
the
event of severe unrest or other conflict, one or more of our key employees
could
be required to serve in the military for extended periods of time. In the past,
there were numerous call-ups of military reservists to active duty, and it
is
possible that there will be additional call-ups in the future. Our Israeli
operations could be disrupted as a result of such call-ups for military
service.
Exchange
rate fluctuations could increase the cost of our Israeli
operations.
The
sales
in this segment stem from our Israeli operations and a significant portion
of
those sales are in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). In addition, many transactions
that are linked to the dollar are settled in NIS. The dollar value of the
revenues of our operations in Israel will decrease if the dollar is devalued
in
relation to the NIS during the period from the invoicing of a transaction to
its
settlement. In addition, significant portions of our expenses in those
operations are in NIS, so that if the dollar is devalued in relation to the
NIS,
the dollar value of these expenses will increase.
One
of our major customers has a history of operating deficits and may implement
cost-cutting measures that may have a material adverse effect on
us.
In
2005,
17% of the software consulting and development segment’s sales (13% and 11% in
2004 and 2003, respectively) and 8% of its billed receivables and unbilled
work-in-process at December 31, 2005 (3% at December 31, 2004) were related
to
the Clalit Health Fund. The Clalit Health Fund is the largest HMO in Israel
and
one of the largest in the world. The fund has a history of running at a deficit,
which in the past has required numerous cost cutting plans and periodic
assistance from the Israeli government. Should the fund have to institute
additional cost cutting measures in the future, which may include restructuring
of its terms of payment, this could have a material adverse effect on the
performance of this segment.
We
have sold our outsourcing business, which in the past provided our Israeli
operations with a steady cash flow; our Israeli operations may be hindered
by
future cash flow problems.
In
August
2005, we sold our outsourcing business, which in the past provided our Israeli
operations with a steady cash flow stream, and, in conjunction with bank lines
of credit, helped to finance our Israeli operations. Our present operations,
as
we are currently structured, places a greater reliance on our meeting project
milestones in order to generate cash flow to finance our operations. Should
we
encounter difficulties in meeting significant project milestones, resulting
cash
flow difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our
operations.
-6-
If
we
are unable to keep pace with rapid technological change, our results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows may suffer.
Some
of
our RT and IT solutions are characterized by rapidly changing technologies
and
industry standards and technological obsolescence. Our competitiveness and
future success depends on our ability to keep pace with changing technologies
and industry standards on a timely and cost-effective basis. A fundamental
shift
in technologies in could have a material adverse effect on our competitive
position. Our failure to react to changes in existing technologies could
materially delay our development of new products, which could result in
technological obsolescence, decreased revenues, and/or a loss of market share
to
competitors. To the extent that we fail to keep pace with technological change,
our revenues and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMVERGE INVESTMENT
We
may need to invest additional funds in Comverge in order to avoid dilution
of
our holdings.
We
currently own approximately 76% of Comverge’s common shares and approximately 7%
its preferred shares. Comverge has in the past and may in the future to raise
equity by private equity placements. Should Comverge continue to raise funds
in
this manner, we may have to utilize our limited cash or face dilution of our
holdings in Comverge.

2. PROPERTIES
Prior
to
the consummation of the sale of our Databit computer hardware subsidiary,
our
corporate headquarters and the principal offices for our computer hardware
sales
segment were located in Mahwah, New Jersey in approximately 5,000 square feet
of
office space, at a rate of $85,000 per year
(plus
annual CPI adjustments), under a lease that expires in September 2006. We leased
offices of approximately 3,500 square feet in New York City, at a current rate
of $120,000 per
year,
under a
lease that expires in November 2008.
As
part
of the sale of our Databit computer hardware subsidiary,
we
assigned all of the US leases to Databit and after the first quarter of 2006
will no longer have rental expense for facilities in the US.
The
landlords of the properties have not yet consented to the assignments and we
therefore continue to be contingently
liable
on
these
leases.
Databit
has agreed to indemnify us for any liability in connection with these leases.
Under the terms of the sale agreement with Databit, we continue to house
certain corporate
headquarter functions in Mahwah, New Jersey. Under a transition services
arrangement, we have agreed to pay Databit $20,000 per year for the continued
use of the Mahwah premises and various administrative services.
Our
Israeli activities are conducted in approximately 18,000 square feet of office
space in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area under a lease that expires in August
2009. The annual rent is approximately $298,000. These
facilities are used for the Israeli operations of the software consulting and
development segment.

ITEM
7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
Sale
of Databit and Related Transactions; Appointment of New CEO
On
March
10, 2006 we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 9, 2006
(the "SPA"), for the sale of all the outstanding capital stock of Databit to
Shlomie Morgenstern, President of Databit and a Vice President of the Company.
The transactions contemplated under the SPA, and the related transactions to
which we, Shlomie Morgenstern and our CEO George Morgenstern were party to,
were
consummated on March 10, 2006 and included the following:
· |
Termination
of the Employment Agreement dated August 19, 2004 among Shlomie
Morgenstern, Databit and us and our release from any and all liability
including the waiver by Shlomie Morgenstern of any and all severance
or
change of control payments to which he would have been
entitled.
|
· |
Amendment
of the option and restricted stock agreements between us and Shlomie
Morgenstern to provide for acceleration of any unvested grants on
the
closing of the transactions and for all options to be exercisable
through
18 months from the closing.
|
· |
The
assignment to and assumption by Databit of our obligations to George
Morgenstern under the Employment Agreement between the Company and
George
Morgenstern dated January 1, 1997, as amended (the "GM Employment
Agreement") upon the following
terms:
|
(i)
Reduction of the amounts owed to George Morgenstern under the GM Employment
Agreement by the lump sum payment payment of $600,000 and a release by George
Morgenstern releasing us from any and all liability and obligations to him
under
the GM Employment Agreement.
(ii)
The
amendment of the option agreement with George Morgenstern dated December 30,
2004 to provide for the acceleration of the 60,000 options that are not
currently vested and the extension of the exercise period for all options held
by him to the later of (i) September 2009 and (ii) 18 months after the cessation
of his services as a director or as a consultant under the new
consulting agreement described below.
(iii) The
amendment of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated August 31, 1998 between George
Morgenstern and us to provide for the removal of any vesting conditions from
the
20,000 shares still subject to such conditions.
· |
The
assumption by Databit of our obligations under leases for the premises
in
New York City and Mahwah, New Jersey, which provide for aggregate
rents of
approximately $450,000 over the next three
years.
|
· |
A
new consulting agreement between George Morgenstern and us for a
period of
two years, pursuant to which George Morgenstern would serve as a
consultant to us, primarily to assist in the management of our dsIT
subsidiary. The agreement provides for de minimus compensation per
year
plus a non-accountable expense allowance of $65,000 per year to cover
expected costs of travel and other
expenses.
|
As
a
result of the transaction and the above mentioned amendments to various
restricted stock and options agreements, we expect to record a loss of
approximately $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2006.
Concurrent
with the sale of Databit, George Morgenstern ceased to serve as our President
and CEO but will continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors and
as
Chairman of the Board. Shlomie Morgenstern also ceased to serve as Vice
President--Operations and will no longer act as an officer or director. In
addition, John A. Moore was appointed President and CEO as well as one of our
directors.
-13-
Settlement
of Litigation
In
March
2006, we reached a settlement agreement with an Israeli bank with respect to
our
claims against the bank and the bank’s counterclaim against us. As part of the
settlement agreement, the bank will return to us approximately $94,000 plus
interest and CPI adjustments of attorney fees and court costs we had previously
paid. As a result of the settlement agreement, the accrued loss for contingent
performance of bank guarantees of $410,000 will be reversed and the $247,000
collateralized portion of these guarantees (shown as restricted cash at December
31, 2005) will no longer be restricted. We expect to record income of
approximately $330,000 in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of the
settlement agreement.
Option
Grants
On
March
27, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the following option
grants, upon the following terms, to John A. Moore:
(a) |
an
option for the purchase of 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $2.00 per share, vesting on September 30, 2006 and expiring
on
March 31, 2011; and
|
(b) |
an
option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of
$2.25 per share, vesting on March 30, 2009 and expiring on March
31, 2011;
subject to accelerated vesting as to (i) 100,000 shares of Common
Stock
upon the Company’s having raised $1 million in gross proceeds from the
sale of its equity and (ii) 100,000 shares of Common Stock upon the
Common’s Common Stock achieving a five-day average closing market price
of
$5.00 or greater per share.
|
All
of
the above options granted to Mr. Moore are subject to acceleration upon (in
addition to those events specified with respect to the option in (b) above)
the
termination of Mr. Moore’s employment by the Registrant without Cause, a Change
of Control of the Registrant, or the termination by Mr. Moore of his employment
with the Registrant for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in such option
agreements between Mr. Moore and the Registrant).
On
March
27, 2006, the Board of Directors also approved the grant of an option to
purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.65 per share,
to each of the following non-management directors: Elihu Levine, Shane Yurman,
and Samuel M. Zentman. These options shall vest on the date of the next held
annual meeting and expire upon the earlier of (i) March 30, 2011 or (ii) 18
months from the date on which the grantee ceases to be a director.
In
addition, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved the modification
of
all outstanding options to purchase Common Stock issued under the Registrant’s
1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors held by Mr. Levine, Mr. Yurman,
and
Dr. Zentman, to permit their exercise until 18 months after the grantee ceases
service as a director.
-14-
Additional
Investment in Comverge
In
March
2006, Comverge had an additional round of private equity financing. As a result
of the most recent financing round, in which we participated at a cost of
$210,000, we currently own approximately 7% of Comverge’s preferred shares and
76% of its common shares, representing approximately 25% of its total
equity.
OVERVIEW
AND TREND INFORMATION
The
following discussion includes statements that are forward-looking in nature.
Whether such statements ultimately prove to be accurate depends upon a variety
of factors that may affect our business and operations. Certain of these factors
are discussed in “Item 1. Business-Risk
Factors
Which May Affect Future Results.”
We
operate in two reportable segments: software consulting and development, and
computer hardware sales. Until March 31, 2003, we included the results of
Comverge in our energy intelligence solutions segment. Since March 31, 2003,
we
no longer consolidate the results of Comverge (see Note 3 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this report) and therefore no longer include
their results in our segment reporting. As we have sold our outsourcing
consulting business in August 2005, the information provided below does not
include the results from those activities as they have been reclassified and
consolidated on one line as net income from discontinued operations, after
tax.
In
March
2006, we sold our Databit computer hardware sales company to Shlomie
Morgenstern, President
of Databit and our Vice President,
in
exchange for the release of DSSI from obligations relating to our former CEO’s
consulting agreement and various lease obligations. As part of the agreement,
we
agreed to pay our former CEO $600,000 at closing and pay certain costs for
Databit. In
addition, cash, which had previously been restricted with respect to our former
CEO’s employment agreement, will no longer be restricted (net of transaction
costs and the $600,000 payment to our former CEO). As a result of the
transaction, we expect to record a loss of approximately $2.1 million in the
first quarter of 2006. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2006, we will no
longer have any activity in our computer hardware segment.
The
following analysis should be read together with the segment information provided
in Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
report.
Software
Consulting and Development
Segment
revenues increased by $0.7 million or 16% in 2005 as compared to 2004. The
increase came from our RT services ($0.5 million from Naval solutions and $0.2
million from embedded hardware and software development) with revenues from
our
IT solutions remaining stable. Within our IT solutions, the revenues from our
OncoPro™ solutions increased in 2005 by $0.3 million. This was offset by a $0.3
million decrease in revenues from our EasyBill™ billing system. Segment gross
profits also increased in 2005 as compared to 2004 by $0.4 million or 36%.
Segment gross profit percentage continued to increase (from 25% in 2004 to
29%
in 2005) as we continue to improve our cost structure, though a portion of
the
improvement was the result of a non-recurring license sale, which increased
our
gross profit and gross profit percentage by $145,000 and 2%, respectively.
Our
projected growth in sales in 2006 is expected to come primarily from our Naval
solutions products with slight increases in our OncoPro™ solutions being offset
by slight decreases in embedded hardware and software development and EasyBill™
billing system. Due to the sale of our outsourcing business in August 2005,
our
segment overhead currently is a heavier burden to the segment and we must
generate a higher level of sales to reach profitability. We anticipate our
sales
to increase throughout 2006, with the segment reaching profitability towards
the
end of the year.
dsIT
has
been successful in bidding (together with our former Databit subsidiary) for
certain combined hardware/software solutions for the Israeli Ministry of Defense
(MoD). Despite our recent sale of Databit, we expect this cooperation to
continue to produce increased revenues in 2006.
-15-
Computer
Hardware Sales
Sales
in
2005 were lower than in 2004, and combined with a reduced gross profit margin
caused gross profit to decrease by more than 15%. The segment’s dependency on
sales to one particular customer has decreased to a certain extent, however
during 2005 we remained heavily dependent on two particular customers while
we
continued to invest significant efforts to diversify our sales base.
In
March
2006, we sold our Databit computer hardware sales company and after the first
quarter of 2006, will no longer have any further activity in this
segment.
Energy
Intelligence Solutions
We
continue to account for Comverge on the equity method; however since our losses
to date exceed our investment, Comverge’s losses no longer affect our
consolidated results.
Through
January 2006, Comverge has continued to strengthen its strategic alliances
and
broadened the spectrum of solutions offered, while continuing to perform under
its Virtual Peaking CapacityTM (“VPC”) contracts. Comverge has recently
increased its VPC programs to more than 225 Megawatts under
contract.
Comverge
has also recently announced that its Maingate® C&I gateway technology and
PowerCAMP software suite were selected by American Electric Power (AEP) to
provide a full scale digital cellular AMR solution for AEP’s over 15,000
commercial and industrial sites. Maingate® C&I is currently in use at
utilities across the US and provides access to robust meter data in real-time.
Available in external box and underglass designs, Maingate® C&I offers
utilities both retrofit and drop in replacement solutions designed to lower
recurring communications costs and increase data read reliability. The PowerCAMP
suite enables AEP to collect data and automatically integrate this data with
existing billing and CRM tools.
Comverge’s
continued marketing, installation and development of products require
significant financial resources. To the extent required, it intends to utilize
and further increase its bank credit lines and seek additional investor
financing. In February 2006, Comverge completed a Series C Preferred Stock
financing round, raising approximately $5.2 million. This brought the total
capital raised by Comverge from 2003 to 2005 to approximately $37 million.
The
investing group supporting Comverge includes, in addition to us, Air Products
and Chemicals, Easton Hunt Capital Partners, Rockport Capital Partners, Nth
Power Management, EnerTech Capital, Norsk Hydro Technology Ventures, and
Ridgewood Capital. As a result of the most recent financing round, in which
we
participated at a cost of $210,000, we currently own approximately 7% of
Comverge’s preferred shares and 76% of its common shares, representing
approximately 25% of its total equity.
Corporate
In
March
2006, we appointed John Moore as our President and CEO to succeed George
Morgenstern, our founder and President and CEO since 1986. Mr.
Morgenstern will continue to serve on the board of directors and as Chairman
of
the Board focusing on efforts to grow our projects and solutions activities
in
Israel.
As a
result of the sale of our US operating activities and the assignment of the
employment agreement with our former CEO and lease agreements for our US
properties, we expect corporate expenses to be reduced.
For
disclosure regarding our recently announced agreement for the sale of our
Databit computer hardware sales company, see “Recent Developments”

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting
policies” as those that require application of management's most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in
subsequent periods.
-16-
The
following discussion of critical accounting policies represents our attempt
to
report on those accounting policies, which we believe are critical to our
consolidated financial statements and other financial disclosure. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our significant accounting
policies, which are more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report. In many cases,
the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated
by
generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management's judgment
in their application. There are also areas in which the selection of an
available alternative policy would not produce a materially different
result.
We
have
identified the following as critical accounting policies affecting our company:
principles of consolidation and investments in associated companies; revenue
recognition; foreign currency transactions; income taxes; and stock-based
compensation.
Principles
of Consolidation and Investments in Associated Companies
Our
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Minority interests in net losses are limited to the extent of their equity
capital. Losses in excess of minority interest equity capital are charged
against us in our consolidated statements of operations.
Investments
in associated companies are accounted for by the equity method. Our Comverge
investment is comprised of both common and preferred stock. As of December
31,
2005 the balance of our investment was a net liability of $1.8 million comprised
of our negative investment in common shares of $1.8 million and our investment
in preferred shares of $3.6 million which we have written down to zero value
as
a result of accumulated equity losses against our preferred investment. We
currently no longer record equity losses in Comverge. Should we begin to record
equity income on our investment in Comverge, we would record that equity income
to our preferred investment up to our original $3.6 million preferred share
investment in Comverge, and thereafter to our investment in Comverge’s common
shares, of which we currently own approximately 76%. As at December 31, 2005,
we
have a provision for unrecognized losses in Comverge of $64,000. As at December
31, 2005, we will record equity income from our preferred investment in
Comverge, if and when Comverge records net income in excess of approximately
$924,000.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
from time-and-materials service contracts, maintenance agreements and other
services is recognized as services are provided.
Revenues
from the sale of software licenses are recognized when a license agreement
exists, delivery has occurred, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and
collectibility is reasonably assured. Such sales of software licenses are
incidental to the sale of our hardware products. We also provide integration
and
maintenance services along with our computer hardware sales. These integration
and maintenance services are subject to an agreement separate from our hardware
sales. Integration services, when provided, are based on hourly rates
commensurate with market rates. Revenue from these services is recognized at
the
time the service is provided.
Maintenance
and subscription contracts are sold separately and are priced based upon
predetermined price lists. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognized
ratably over the contract period (generally 12 to 24 months).
Revenues
from the sale of products (primarily hardware which generally includes
pre-loaded off-the-shelf software) are recognized when the products are shipped
provided that appropriate signed documentation of the arrangement, such as
a
signed contract, purchase order or letter of agreement, has been received,
the
fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The
software included in the sale of these products is incidental to the sale of
the
hardware products.
Revenue
from drop-shipments of third-party hardware and software sales are recognized
upon delivery, and recorded at the gross amount when a majority of the following
factors exist:
· |
when
we are responsible for fulfillment of the customer order
|
· |
when
we have latitude in pricing
|
-17-
· |
when
we have discretion in the selection of the supplier
|
· |
when
we customize the product to the customer’s specifications
|
· |
when
we have credit risk from the customer
|
In
2005,
we derived $3.2 million of revenues from fixed-price contracts, all of which
are
attributable to our software and consulting development segment, representing
approximately 14% of consolidated sales in 2005 ($2.8 million and 13%, and
$3.2
million and 12%, in 2004 and 2003, respectively), which require the accurate
estimation of the cost, scope and duration of each engagement. Revenue and
the
related costs for these projects are recognized for a particular period, using
the percentage-of-completion method as costs (primarily direct labor) are
incurred, with revisions to estimates reflected in the period in which changes
become known. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the
scope of work to be performed, or do not manage our projects properly within
the
planned periods of time or satisfy our obligations under the contracts, then
future revenue and consulting margins may be significantly and negatively
affected and losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. Any such
resulting changes in revenues and reductions in margins or contract losses
could
be material to our results of operations.
Foreign
Currency
Transactions
The
currency of the primary economic environment in which our corporate headquarters
and our U.S. subsidiaries operate is the United States dollar (“dollar”).
Accordingly, the Company and all of its U.S. subsidiaries use the dollar as
their functional currency.
Our
dsIT
Israeli subsidiary accounts for approximately 21% of our net revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2005 (16% for the year ended December 31, 2004), and
45%
of our assets and 42% of our total liabilities as of December 31, 2005 (71%
of
our assets and 39% of our total liabilities as of December 31, 2004). dsIT’s
functional currency is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) and its financial
statements have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the
balance sheet date. Statements of operations amounts have been translated using
the exchange rate at date of transaction. In 2003 the resulting translation
adjustments were not reported, as they were immaterial. All exchange gains
and
losses denominated in non-functional currencies are reflected in other income
(loss), net in the consolidated statement of operations when they
arise.
Income
Taxes
We
have a
history of unprofitable operations due to losses incurred in a number of our
operations. These losses generated sizeable state, federal and foreign tax
net
operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, which as of December 31, 2005 were
approximately $11.9 million, $9.7 million and $0.9 million,
respectively.
Generally
accepted accounting principles require that we record a valuation allowance
against the deferred income tax asset associated with these NOL carryforwards
and other deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that we will not
be able to utilize them to offset future income taxes. Due to our history of
unprofitable operations, we only recognize net deferred tax assets in those
subsidiaries in which we believe that it is “more likely than not” that we will
be able to utilize them to offset future income taxes in the future. We
currently provide for income taxes only to the extent that we expect to pay
cash
taxes on current income or disallowed expenses.
It
is
possible, however, that we could be profitable in the future at levels which
cause management to conclude that it is more likely than not that we will
realize all or a portion of the NOL carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.
Upon reaching such a conclusion, we would immediately record the estimated
net
realizable value of the deferred tax assets at that time and would then provide
for income taxes at a rate equal to our combined federal and state effective
rates or foreign rates. Subsequent revisions to the estimated net realizable
value of the deferred tax assets could cause our provision for income taxes
to
vary significantly from period to period.
-18-
Stock-based
Compensation
In
December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.148--Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure (“FAS 148”). This statement amends SFAS
No. 123--Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, providing alternative methods
of voluntarily transitioning to the fair market value based method of accounting
for stock based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also requires disclosure of
the
method used to account for stock-based employee compensation and the effect
of
the method in both the annual and interim financial statements. We elected
to
continue to account for stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic
value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations. Under the
provisions of APB No. 25, compensation expense is measured at the grant date
for
the difference between the fair value of the stock and the exercise price.
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the
revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123,
“Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”), which addresses the accounting for
share-based payment transactions in which we obtain employee services in
exchange for (a) our equity instruments or (b) liabilities that are based on
the
fair value of our equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance
of
such equity instruments. This statement eliminates the ability to account for
employee share-based payment transactions using APB No. 25 and requires instead
that such transactions be accounted for using the grant-date fair value based
method. For us, this statement will be effective as of January 1, 2006 and
we
expect to apply the modified prospective application transition method, as
permitted by the statement. We estimate that the cumulative effect of adopting
FAS 123R as of January 1, 2006, our adoption date, based on the awards
outstanding as of December 31, 2005, will be immaterial.
This
estimate does not include the impact of additional awards, which may be granted,
or forfeitures, which may occur subsequent to December 31, 2005.
We
account for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees on a fair value
basis in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for
Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or
in
conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and related interpretations. We use
the Black-Scholes valuation method to estimate the fair value of
warrants.

The
following table sets forth certain information with respect to revenues and
profits of our reportable business segments for the years ended December 31,
2003, 2004 and 2005, including the percentages of revenues attributable to
such
segments. Until March 31, 2003, we included the results of Comverge in our
energy intelligence solutions segment. Since March 31, 2003, we no longer
consolidate the results of Comverge and no longer include their results in
our
segment reporting (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements). Segment
information excludes the discontinued results of our US based consulting
activities, which were discontinued in 2004, and our Israel based outsourcing
activities, which were discontinued in 2005 (see Note 3 to our consolidated
financial statements). The column marked “Other” aggregates information relating
to miscellaneous operating segments, which may be combined for reporting under
applicable accounting principles.

2005
COMPARED TO 2004
Sales.
The
marginal increase in sales in 2005, as compared to 2004, was due to an increase
in sales in our software consulting and development segment offset by a
corresponding decrease in sales in our computer hardware segment.
Gross
profit.
The
decrease in gross profit in 2005, as compared to 2004, was entirely attributable
to a decrease in gross profits in our computer hardware segment of $0.6 million.
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gross profit in our
software consulting and development segment of $0.4 million. In the software
consulting and development segment, the gross profit margin increased to 29%,
from 25% in 2004, whereas in the computer hardware sales segment, gross profit
margin decreased to 18%, from 20% in 2004. The decreased gross profit margin
in
our computer hardware segment more than offset the increase in our software
consulting and development gross profit margin.
-20-
Selling,
marketing, general and administrative expenses (“SMG&A”).
The
decrease in SMG&A in 2005, as compared to 2004, was primarily due to a
decrease in corporate professional fees, as well as compensation expense in
the
computer hardware segment.
Interest
income (expense), net. The
decrease in net finance expenses is attributable to the continued reduction
of
our outstanding balances of bank debt.
Other
income, net. During
the second quarter of 2004, we received a decision from the Israeli Supreme
Court in our dispute with an Israeli bank. In its decision, the Court reversed
the district court’s award for costs in favor of the bank for which we had
previously accrued. The courts also remanded to the district court our claims
against the bank for a determination as to the amount of damages. As a result
of
the decision we recorded other income of approximately $0.2 million in
2004.
Taxes
on Income. The
change
in
income
tax expense in 2005
as
compared to 2004
was
primarily due to a one-time expense due to the reorganization of business at
dsIT, as a result of which, previously recognized foreign income tax assets
were
expensed.
Those
expenses were offset by a tax benefit recorded from the sale of our dsIT
Technologies subsidiary.
Share
of Losses in Comverge.
Our
share of Comverge's $6.4
million
and $9.3 million of net losses in 2005 and 2004, respectively, was $0.4 million
and $1.2 million, respectively. The reduction in our share of losses in 2005
is
attributable to our no longer recording equity losses in Comverge, as our
preferred stock investment has been reduced to zero.
Gain
on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax. In
August
2005, we sold our Israeli outsourcing consulting business for approximately
$3.7
million, resulting in a gain of $0.5
million.
Minority
interests. Minority
interests reflect the minority interests in income generated by our former
dsIT
Technologies
subsidiary.
Net
income from discontinued operations, net of tax. In
August
2005, we sold our Israel based consulting business. As a result, net income
from
discontinued operations, net of income taxes for those operations have been
restated for 2004. The decrease in net income from discontinued operations,
net
of tax is due to 2005 results reflected results for a seven and a half month
period as compared to 2004 which reflects an entire year’s results.
2004
COMPARED TO 2003
Sales.
The
decrease in sales in 2004, as compared to 2003, was due almost entirely to
the
inclusion of Comverge's sales of $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2003;
commencing the second quarter of 2003, we no longer consolidated Comverge's
operations. Sales in our consolidated segments decreased with the decrease
in
our software consulting and development segment offsetting the increase in
our
computer hardware segment sales.
Gross
profit.
The
decrease in gross profits in 2004, as compared to 2003, was entirely
attributable to the inclusion of Comverge's gross profit of $1.3 million in
the
first quarter of 2003. This decrease was net of an increase in gross profit
in
both of our consolidated segments, as a result of improved gross profit margins.
In the software consulting and development segment the gross profit margin
increased to 25%, from 16% in 2003, and in the computer hardware sales segment,
gross profit margin increased to 20%, from 17% in 2003. The improved gross
profit margins in our consolidated segments offset more than one-half of the
detraction of Comverge’s gross profit.
Research
and development expenses (“R&D”).
The
decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to our company no longer
consolidating Comverge’s operations since the second quarter of
2003.
Selling,
marketing, general and administrative expenses (“SMG&A”).
The
decrease in SMG&A in 2004, as compared to 2003, was primarily attributable
to the fact that SMG&A in the 2003 period included $2.2 million of
Comverge's SMG&A and, since the second quarter of 2003, we no longer
consolidate Comverge's operations. The remaining decrease in SMG&A was due
to a decrease in SMG&A in our software consulting and development segment as
well as decreased corporate G&A.
-21-
Interest
income (expense), net. The
decrease in net finance expenses is attributable in part to completing the
accretion of discounts and the amortization of related costs in connection
with
convertible debt and warrants in the first few months of 2003, which accounted
for almost one-half of these expenses in 2003. Finance expense has also
decreased as a result of the continued reduction in Israel of our outstanding
balances of bank debt as well as reductions in interest rates throughout 2003
and 2004.
Other
income, net. During
the second quarter of 2004, we received a decision from the Israeli Supreme
Court in our dispute with an Israeli bank. In its decision, the Court reversed
the district court’s award for costs in favor of the bank for which we had
previously accrued. The courts also remanded to the district court our claims
against the bank for a determination as to the amount of damages. As a result
of
the decision we recorded other income of approximately $0.2
million.
Share
of Losses in Comverge.
Our
share of Comverge's $9.3 million and $8.0 million of net losses in 2004 and
2003, respectively, was $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Comverge's
increased losses during 2004 were primarily due to increased SG&A expenses,
primarily attributable to the marketing expenses associated with its new VPC
programs.
Gain
on sale of shares in Comverge. In
the
third quarter of 2004, we signed an agreement with certain other shareholders
of
Comverge’s Preferred Stock for the sale by us to other shareholders of
480,769
shares
of Comverge Preferred Stock for approximately $1.0 million, resulting in a
gain
of $0.7 million.
Minority
interests. Minority
interests reflect the minority interests in income generated by our dsIT
subsidiary.
Discontinued
operations. In
August
2005, we sold our Israel based outsourcing consulting business. As a result,
income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for those operations
have been restated for 2003 and 2004 ($1.7 million and $1.4 million,
respectively). The decrease in net income from our discontinued outsourcing
consulting business was due primarily to decreasing revenues. In addition,
since
the latter part of 2003, we have not recorded revenues from our US based
consulting business. During the second quarter of 2004, we decided to
discontinue our efforts to reestablish this business as it was previously
conducted. As a result, in 2004 we recorded income from discontinued operations
of $0.3 million.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As
of
December 31, 2005, we had working capital of $1.5 million, including $0.9
million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Net cash of $0.2 million
was
provided during 2005. Net cash of $1.7 million was used in operating activities
during 2005. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $1.3 million,
was due primarily to corporate expenses of $1.5
million,
net
losses
of
$0.9
million
from the continuing operations of the software consulting and development
segment and losses from our investment in Comverge of $0.4 million. These losses
were partially offset by the gain of $0.5
million
on the sale of our outsourcing consulting business and net income from those
discontinued operations of $0.8
million.
Our use of cash of $1.7 million in operating activities during 2005 was
primarily due to the aforementioned gain of $0.9 million and to reductions
in
accounts payable and other liabilities in excess of collections of trade
accounts receivables, unbilled work-in-process and other assets of $0.3 million,
net. Net cash of $2.2 million provided by investing activities was primarily
from the net result of the cash provided by the sale of dsIT of $3.4 million
less increases in restricted cash of $1.3 million. Net cash of $0.2 million
used
in financing activities was primarily for payment of long-term debt of $0.5
million net of short-term borrowings of $0.2 million, net.
Our
working capital of $1.5 million at December 31, 2005, included working capital
of $0.7 million in our dsIT subsidiary. Due to Israeli tax and company law
constraints and dsIT’s own cash flow requirements, working capital and cash
flows from dsIT's operations are not readily available to finance US based
activities. As if December 31, 2005, dsIT was utilizing approximately $0.1
million of its approximately $0.3 million lines of credit. dsIT's lines of
credit are denominated in NIS and bear a weighted average interest rate of
the
Israeli prime rate plus 2.5% per annum. The Israeli prime rate fluctuates and
as
of December 31, 2005 was approximately 6.0%.
-22-
In
August
2005, we consummated
the sale
of the outsourcing consulting business of our dsIT Technologies
subsidiary
receiving at closing approximately $3.1 million as our share of the gross
proceeds paid at closing. We also received an additional $0.4 million of
restricted cash
in
connection with the sale, which was
released
in November 2005. Following the sale, in accordance with the provisions of
the
employment agreement with our then CEO, we set aside $1.4 million to secure
payments to be made under this agreement.
Immediately
after the sale of the consulting business, dsIT Solutions began to refocus
its
activities, initiating measures to improve the results from its remaining
operations and its liquidity based on these operations. We believe that dsIT
will have sufficient liquidity to finance its activities from cash flow from
its
own operations over the next 12 months. This is based on continued utilization
of its lines of credit and expected improved operating results stemming from
anticipated growth in sales. However, there is no assurance the measures taken
by will be successful and we may need to provide supplementary financing, or
sell all or part of that business.
As
described above under Recent Developments, in March 2006, we sold our Databit
computer hardware sales subsidiary. In connection with the transaction, we
paid
our then CEO $0.6 million and our remaining obligations under the employment
agreement with him were assigned to and assumed by Databit. The balance of
the
cash previously restricted was released from any restriction. In addition,
as
described above under Recent Developments, we recently settled a litigation
with
an Israeli bank which resulted in the release of approximately $250,000 of
previously restricted cash.
The
unrestricted cash balance in our US operations as of the end of 2005 was
$832,000, and as of March 31, 2006 was $677,000. Management currently projects
significantly reduced corporate expenses for the next 12 months. We believe
that
the unrestricted cash available will provide more than sufficient liquidity
to
finance DSSI’s activities for the foreseeable future and for the next 12 months
in particular.
There
is
no assurance that we will be able to reduce our corporate expenses to the
projected levels. Management has formulated contingency plans, which
include various financing options, including
the possible sale of shares in DSSI, to provide additional liquidity to finance
our US operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise
additional funds on a timely basis and on acceptable terms.
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
The
table
below provides information concerning obligations under certain categories
of
our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005.
As
noted
above, in March 2006, we sold our Databit computer hardware sales subsidiary
and entered into related transactions which resulted in certain payments to
our
then CEO and the release
of DSSI from obligations relating to our former CEO’s consulting agreement and
various lease obligations. As a result of the sale, the
information
included in the table below related
to future cash payments due under our agreement
with our
then
CEO
and
under
our leases which were assigned as part of the transaction, includes payments
which we are not, or may not, be obligated to make.
-23-
As
noted
above, in March 2006, we reached a settlement agreement with an
Israeli bank with
respect to our litigation.
As
a
result of the settlement agreement, the accrued loss for contingent performance
of bank guarantees of $410,000 will be reversed in the first quarter of
2006
and we
will have no obligation to make any payments under these bank
guarantees.

We
expect
to finance these contractual commitments in 2005 from cash currently on hand
and
cash generated from operations.
(1)
Previously, we accrued a loss for contingent performance of bank guarantees,
the
balance of which was $0.4 million at December 31, 2005, included in other
current liabilities. A portion of these guarantees was collateralized by means
of a deposit of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2005. As
a
result of the abovementioned settlement agreement, we no longer have this
liability
contractual
obligation.
(2)
Under
Israeli law and labor agreements, dsIT is required to make severance payments
to
dismissed employees and to employees leaving employment under certain other
circumstances. The obligation for severance pay benefits, as determined by
the
Israeli Severance Pay Law, is based upon length of service and last salary.
These obligations are substantially covered by regular deposits with recognized
severance pay and pension funds and by the purchase of insurance policies.
As of
December 31, 2005, we accrued a total of $2.6 million for potential severance
obligations ($0.3 million in other current liabilities and $2.3 million in
long
term liabilities) of which approximately $1.7 million was funded with cash
to
insurance companies ($0.3 million in other current assets and $1.4 million
in
non-current assets).
(3)
Under
the terms of his employment agreement with us, as amended, we had
an
obligation to continue to pay our former Chief Executive Officer consulting
fees
over a seven-year period starting January 1, 2005. As described above , in
connection with our sale of our Databit computer hardware sales company, made
a
cash payment of $600,000 to our then CEO and were released from any further
obligations under this agreement.
Certain
Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
Our
Israeli subsidiary provided various performance, advance and tender guarantees
as required in the normal course of its operations. As of December 31, 2005,
such guarantees totaled approximately $0.1 million and are due to expire through
November 2006.
We
had
certain
obligations to pay consulting fees to our former CEO over the next seven years
as described above in Note 3 to the table included under Contractual Obligations
and Commitments. As described above, as a result of the recently announced
sale
of our Databit computer hardware sales company, and upon the payment of $600,000
to our former CEO, the employment agreement with our former CEO has been
terminated.
Under
the
employment agreement with our then Vice President who served as the Chief
Executive Officer of Databit, we had certain obligations to him if his
employment agreement was not renewed after the initial term and certain
additional obligations if it was terminated by us other than for cause
and certain other circumstances. As a result of the recently announced sale
of
Databit, this agreement has been terminated and
we
were released from all obligations without
payment of any of the additional considerations discussed above.
-24-
Impact
of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations
A
majority of our sales are denominated in dollars. The remaining portion is
either in NIS or denominated in NIS, linked to the dollar. Such sales
transactions are negotiated in dollars; however, for the convenience of the
customer they are settled in NIS. These transaction amounts are linked to the
dollar between the date the transactions are entered into until the date they
are effected and billed. From the time these transactions are effected and
billed through the date of settlement, amounts are primarily unlinked. The
majority of our expenses in Israel are in NIS, while a portion is in dollars
or
dollar-linked NIS.
The
dollar cost of our operations in Israel may be adversely affected in the future
by a revaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar, should it be
significantly different from the rate of inflation. In 2005 the depreciation
of
the NIS against the dollar was 6.8%, whereas in 2004 the appreciation of the
NIS
against the dollar was 1.6%. Inflation in Israel was 2.4% in 2005 and 1.2%
during 2004. During the first two months of 2006, the NIS was devalued against
the dollar by 2.2% and inflation during this period was
0.3%.
As
of
December 31, 2005, virtually all of our monetary assets and liabilities that
were not denominated in dollars or dollar-linked NIS were denominated in NIS.
In
the event that in the future we have material net monetary assets or liabilities
that are not denominated in dollar-linked NIS, such net assets or liabilities
would be subject to the risk of currency fluctuations.

ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
General
We
are
required to make certain disclosures regarding our financial instruments,
including derivatives, if any.
A
financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest
in an
entity, or a contract that imposes on one entity a contractual obligation either
to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument to or from a second
entity. Examples of financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents,
trade accounts receivable, loans, investments, trade accounts payable, accrued
expenses, options and forward contracts. The disclosures below include, among
other matters, the nature and terms of derivative transactions, information
about significant concentrations of credit risk, and the fair value of financial
assets and liabilities.
Foreign
Currency Risk
The
translation of the balance sheets of our Israeli operations from NIS into U.S.
dollars is sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These
translation gains or losses are recorded either as cumulative translation
adjustments (“CTA) within stockholders’ equity, or foreign exchange gains or
losses in the statement of operations. In 2005 the NIS weakened in relation
to
the U.S. dollar by 6.8%. To test the sensitivity of these operations to
fluctuations in the exchange rate, the hypothetical change in CTA and foreign
exchange gains and losses is calculated by multiplying the net assets of these
non-U.S. operations by a 10% change in the currency exchange rates.
As
of
December 31, 2005, a 10% unfavorable change in the exchange rate of the U.S.
dollar against the NIS would have increased stockholders’ equity by
approximately $114,000 (arising from a CTA adjustment of approximately $45,000
net exchange gains of approximately $159,000). These hypothetical
changes
are based on increasing the December 31, 2005 exchange rates by
10%.
We
do not
employ specific strategies, such as the use of derivative instruments or
hedging, to manage exchange rate exposures.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
values of financial instruments included in current assets and current
liabilities are estimated to approximate their book values due to the short
maturity of such investments. Fair value for long-term debt and long-term
deposits are estimated based on the current rates offered to us for debt and
deposits with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value of our
long-term debt and long-term deposits are not materially different from their
carrying amounts.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk,
consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term bank
deposits, and trade receivables. The counterparty to a majority of our cash
equivalent deposits as well as our short and long-term bank deposits is a major
financial institution of high credit standing. We do not believe there is
significant risk of non-performance by this counterparty. Approximately 34%
of
the trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 was due from a U.S. customer
that pays its trade receivables over usual credit periods. Credit risk with
respect to the balance of trade receivables is generally diversified due to
the
large number of entities comprising our customer base.

9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Controls and Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of
our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as required to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Changes
in Controls and Procedures
There
have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect disclosure controls and procedures subsequent
to
the date of our most recent evaluation.
ITEM
9B. OTHER INFORMATION
The
following is being disclosed pursuant to Item 1.01 of Form 8-K (Entry into
Material Definitive Agreement).
In
March
2006, we reached a settlement agreement with an Israeli bank with respect to
our
claims against the bank and the bank’s counterclaim against us. As part of the
settlement agreement, the bank will return to us approximately $94,000 plus
interest and CPI adjustments of attorney fees and court costs we had previously
paid. As a result of the settlement agreement, the accrued loss for contingent
performance of bank guarantees of $410,000 will be reversed and the $247,000
collateralized portion of these guarantees (shown as restricted cash at December
31, 2005) will no longer be restricted. We expect to record income of
approximately $330,000 in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of the
settlement agreement.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Data
Systems & Software Inc.
We
have
audited the consolidated balance sheets of Data Systems & Software Inc. (the
“Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Board
of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and
significant estimates made by the Company’s Board of Directors and management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of their
operations and of their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE
1—NATURE OF OPERATIONS
(a)
Description of Business
Data
Systems & Software Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DSSI”), through its
subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and its equity investment in Comverge
Inc. (“Comverge”), (i) provides software consulting and development services
(ii) is an authorized
dealer
and a value-added-reseller of computer hardware, and (iii) provides energy
intelligence solutions for utilities and energy companies (through Comverge,
whose results were consolidated up to March 31, 2003 (see Note 4)). The
Company’s operations are based in the United States and in Israel.
DSSI’s
shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. In June 2005, the Company’s Israeli
operations were reorganized with all project activities being conducted through
its dsIT Solutions Ltd. subsidiary and all outsourcing consulting services
being
conducted through its dsIT Technologies Ltd. subsidiary. In August 2005, dsIT
Technologies and its associated outsourcing consulting activities was sold
by
the Company and the other shareholders of dsIT Technologies (see Note 3). On
March 10, 2006, the Company sold its Databit Inc. subsidiary which comprises
the
entire computer hardware segment (see Note 18(a)).
(b)
Financing of Operations
The
working capital of $1,458 at December 31, 2005, included working capital of
$664
in the Company’s Israeli subsidiary (dsIT Solutions). Due to Israeli tax and
company law constraints and dsIT Solutions’ own cash flow requirements, working
capital and cash flows from dsIT Solutions are not readily available to finance
US based activities.
dsIT
Solutions was utilizing approximately $130 of its approximately $335 lines
of
credit as of December 31, 2005. dsIT Solutions’ lines of credit are denominated
in NIS and bear a weighted average interest rate of the Israeli prime rate
plus
2.5%
per
annum. The Israeli prime rate fluctuates and as of December 31, 2005 was
approximately 6.0%.
The
Company intends to fund its US activities with the cash available, including
from the sale of Databit and restricted funds released as a result of the
Databit sales transaction (see Note 18(a)). The Company continues to consider
additional financing transactions. Should the Company need additional liquidity
to finance its US activities and should it be unsuccessful in completing a
timely transaction providing the necessary liquidity, it may not have sufficient
funds to finance its US activities.
(c)
Accounting Principles
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
(d)
Use
of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The
preparation of consolidated 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
NOTE
2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Functional
Currency and Foreign Currency Transactions
The
currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of DSSI
and
its US subsidiaries are conducted is the United States dollar (“dollar”).
Accordingly, the Company and all of its US subsidiaries use the dollar as their
functional currency. The financial statements of the Company’s Israeli
subsidiary whose functional currency is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) have been
translated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) 52 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States
(“FASB”) assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while
operating results items are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the
date of the transaction. Differences resulting from translation are presented
in
shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss. All exchange gains
and losses denominated in non-functional currencies are reflected in other
income (loss), net, in the consolidated statement of operations when they arise.
F-
8
Principles
of Consolidation and Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of all
majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated. Minority interests in net losses are limited to the extent
of
their equity capital. Losses in excess of minority interest equity capital
are
charged against the Company.
Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank
deposits (up to three months from date of deposit) that are not restricted
as to
withdrawal or use, to be cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in,
first-out method for merchandise inventory and parts and supplies. Inventory
is
primarily comprised of merchandise inventory.
Investment
in Associated Companies
An
associated company is a company over which significant influence is exercised.
The Company’s investment in Comverge is comprised of investment in common and
preferred shares. The Company considers Comverge preferred shares to be
in-substance common stock as defined in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)
Issue No. 02-14 “Whether the Equity Method of Accounting Applies When an
Investor Does Not Have an Investment in Voting Stock of an Investee but
Exercises Significant Influence Through Other Means”. Thus, since March 31,
2003, the entire investment in Comverge is accounted for by the equity method.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are presented at cost at the date of acquisition. Depreciation
and
amortization is calculated based on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the depreciable assets, or in the case of leasehold
improvements, the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of
the
asset. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged
to
operations as incurred.
Goodwill
and Acquired Intangible Assets
Goodwill
represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of businesses
acquired. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets determined to
have
an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for
impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets
with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets”.
SFAS
No.
142 requires the Company to assess annually whether there is an indication
that
goodwill is impaired, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate
that the asset might be impaired during the year. The Company performs its
annual impairment test at the conclusion of its annual budget process, in the
fourth quarter of each year. The Company has identified its operating segments
as its reporting units for purposes of the impairment test and assigned its
goodwill and intangible assets to its software consulting and development
segment. The Company determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by
assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and
intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company then determines the
fair value of each reporting unit and compares it to the carrying amount of
the
reporting unit. Calculating the fair value of the reporting units requires
significant estimates and assumptions by management. To the extent the carrying
amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, there
is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired and a second
step of the impairment test is performed to determine the amount of the
impairment to be recognized, if any.
Identifiable
intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are tested annually for
impairment, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the
asset might be impaired during the year. An impairment loss is recognized to
the
extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset's fair value as determined
based on discounted cash flows associated with the asset. The Company has not
identified any indefinite life intangible assets.
F-
9
The
costs
of software licenses are presented at estimated fair value at acquisition date.
These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license
or estimated useful life of the software licenses, generally five years.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Under
SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets including certain intangible assets are to
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of
an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated
by
the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future
undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Treasury
Stock
Company
shares held by the Company are presented as a reduction of shareholders’ equity,
at their cost to the Company. Losses, from the reissuance of treasury stock
are
reflected in accumulated deficit.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
from time-and-materials service contracts, maintenance agreements and other
services are recognized as services are provided.
In
accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2 “Software Revenue
Recognition”, revenues from fixed-price contracts which require significant
production, modification and/or customization to customer specifications are
recognized using the percentage-of-completion method in conformity with
Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 45 “Long-Term Construction-Type
Contracts” and SOP No. 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and
Certain Production-Type Contracts.
The
percentage-of-completion is determined based on labor hours incurred.
Percentage-of-completion estimates are reviewed periodically, and any
adjustments required are reflected in the period when such estimates are
revised. Losses on contracts, if any, are recognized in the period in which
the
loss is determined.
Unbilled
work-in-process represents revenues, primarily from fixed price projects, that
have not been invoiced to the customer as of the end of the period. Such amounts
are generally billed upon the completion of a project milestone.
Revenues
from the sale of software licenses are recognized when a license agreement
exists, delivery has occurred, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and
collectibility is reasonably assured. Such sales of software licenses are
incidental to the Company’s sale of hardware products. The Company also provides
integration and maintenance services along with its computer hardware sales.
These integration and maintenance services are subject to an agreement separate
from the Company’s sale of its primary hardware sales. Integration services,
when provided, are based on hourly rates commensurate with market rates. Revenue
from these services is recognized at the time the service is provided.
Maintenance
and subscription contracts are sold separately and are priced based upon
predetermined price lists. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognized
ratably over the contract period (generally 12 to 24 months).
Revenues
from the sale of products (primarily hardware which generally includes
pre-loaded off-the-shelf software) are recognized when the products are shipped
provided that appropriate signed documentation of the arrangement, such as
a
signed contract, purchase order or letter of agreement, has been received,
the
fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The
software included in the sale of these products is incidental to the sale of
the
hardware products.
In
accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19 “Recording Revenue Gross as a Principal
Versus Net as an Agent”, revenue from drop-shipments of third-party hardware and
software sales are recognized upon delivery, and recorded at the gross amount
when the Company is responsible for fulfillment of the customer order, has
latitude in pricing, has discretion in the selection of the supplier, customizes
the product to the customer’s specifications and has credit risk from the
customer.
F-
10
Shipping
and Handling of Products
Amounts
billed to customers for shipping and handling of products are included in net
sales and were approximately $373, $452 and $392 for the years ended December
31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Costs incurred related to shipping and
handling of products are included in cost of goods sold.
Warranty
Provision
The
Company grants its customers one-year product warranty. No provision was made
in
respect of warranties based on the Company’s previous history.
Concentration
of Credit Risk - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.
The counter-party to a majority of the Company’s cash equivalent deposits as
well as its short-term bank deposits is a major financial institution of high
credit standing. The Company does not believe there is significant risk of
non-performance by the counterparty. Approximately 34%
and 37%
of the trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively,
were due from a US customer that pays its trade receivables over usual credit
periods (as to revenues from such customer - see Note 16(d)). Credit risk with
respect to the balance of trade receivables is generally diversified due to
the
large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base.
An
appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is included in respect of specific
debts of
which
collection
is in doubt. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
and does not require collateral.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development costs consisting primarily of labor and related costs are
charged to operations as incurred. Participation by third parties in the
Company’s research and development costs are netted against costs
incurred.
Advertising
Expenses
Advertising
expenses are charged to operations
as incurred. Advertising expense was
$30,
$14
and $43
for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Issuance
of Stock of Subsidiary
The
Company recognizes gains and losses from the issuance of subsidiary stock
through the consolidated statement of operations. In non-cash transactions,
when
the assurance as to the reliability of the fair value of the non-cash asset
received is difficult to determine, gains are recorded in additional paid-in
capital.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees” and the related interpretations in accounting for
its stock option grants to employees and directors, with the disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Under APB
No. 25, compensation expense is computed under the intrinsic value method of
accounting to the extent that the fair value of the underlying shares on the
date of the grant exceed the exercise price of the share option, and thereafter
amortized on a straight-line basis against income over the expected service
period.
Had
compensation cost for the Company’s option plans been determined based on the
fair value at the grant dates of awards, consistent with the method prescribed
in SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been as in
the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The
pro
forma information in the above table also gives effect to the application of
SFAS No. 123 on the share option plans of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees on a
fair
value basis in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18,
“Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and related
interpretations.
Restricted
stock awards are subject to risk of forfeiture and vesting conditions. Typically
the vesting occurs over a prescribed period of time and requires continued
service and employment by the recipient. Restricted stock is valued at fair
market value at the date of the grant and is amortized over the vesting
period.
Deferred
Income Taxes
Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and
the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss, capital
loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related
assets or liabilities for financial reporting, or according to the expected
reversal dates of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an
asset
or liability for financial reporting. Valuation allowances are established
against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that they will not
be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or laws is recognized in
operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Basic
and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Basic
net
loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year, excluding treasury stock. Diluted
net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive potential of common shares which
would result from the exercise of stock options and warrants or conversion
of
convertible securities. However, the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants
and convertible securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net
loss
per share if doing so would be antidilutive. The number of options and warrants
that were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share,
as they had an antidilutive effect, were
approximately 1,743,000, 2,155,000 and 1,765,000 for
the
years ending December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Comprehensive
Loss
The
components of the Company’s comprehensive loss for the period presented are net
loss and differences from the translation of subsidiaries’ financial
statements.
F-
12
Recently
Issued Accounting Principles
On
June 7, 2005, FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes,
and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements
for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle.
Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles were required to
be
recognized by way of a cumulative effect adjustment within net income during
the
period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine
either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.
SFAS
No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005; however, SFAS No. 154 does not change the
transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements. The Company
does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material
effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
November 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs - an Amendment of
ARB 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 requires idle facility expenses,
freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) costs to be recognized
as
current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production
overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006
for
the Company). The Company does not expect this statement to have a material
effect on the Company’s financial statements or its results of
operations.
In
December 2004, FASB issued the revised SFAS No. 123, “Share-Based Payment”
(“SFAS No. 123R”), which addresses the accounting for share-based payment
transactions in which the Company obtains employee services in exchange for
(a) equity instruments of the Company or (b) liabilities that are
based on the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments or that may be
settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R
eliminates the ability to account for employee share-based payment transactions
using APB No. 25, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted
for using the grant-date fair value based method. SFAS No. 123R provided
for an effective date as of the beginning of the first interim or annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005 (July 1, 2005 for the
Company). Early adoption of SFAS No. 123R is encouraged.
On
April 15, 2005, the SEC approved a new rule, under which SFAS No. 123R
is effective for public companies at the beginning of their next fiscal year
that begins after June 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for the Company). SFAS
No. 123R applies to all awards granted or modified after the effective date
of SFAS No. 123R. In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion
of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on the effective date
of
SFAS No. 123R shall be recognized on or after the effective date, as the
related services are rendered, based on the awards’ grant-date fair value as
previously calculated for the pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123.
The
Company estimates that the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 123R as
of its adoption date (January 1, 2006), based on the awards outstanding as
of
December 31, 2005, immaterial. This estimate does not include the impact of
additional awards, which may be granted, or forfeitures, which may occur after
December 31, 2005. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company will apply
the modified prospective application transition method, as permitted by SFAS
No. 123R. Under such transition method, upon the adoption of SFAS
No. 123R, the Company’s financial statements for periods prior to the
effective date of SFAS No. 123R will not be restated. The impact in the
2006 fiscal year and beyond will depend upon various factors, among them the
Company’s future compensation strategy. At December 31,2005, unamortized
compensation expense related to outstanding unvested options, as determined
in
accordance with SFAS 123(R), that the company expects to record during fiscal
2006 was approximately $122 before taxation and any adjustment for
forfeitures.
In
March
2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, “Shared-Based Payment” (“SAB
107”), which offers guidance on SFAS No. 123R. SAB 107 was issued to assist
companies by simplifying some of the implementation challenges of SFAS
No. 123R while enhancing the information that investors receive. The
Company will apply the principles of SAB 107 in conjunction with the Company’s
adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
F-
13
In
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB statements No. 133 and 140." This
statement permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument
that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation.
This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued
after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September
15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's
fiscal year, provided that no interim period financial statements have bee
issued for the financial year. Management expects that the adoption of SFAS
155
will have no material effect on the Company's financial statements or its
results of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the Company’s prior years’ consolidated
financial statements to conform to the current year’s consolidated financial
statement presentation.
NOTE
3—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
(a)
dsIT
Technologies Ltd.
In
August
2005, the Company completed the sale of its 68% owned dsIT Technologies
subsidiary and its associated outsourcing consulting business. The operations
that were sold are comprised of dsIT Technologies’ business of providing
computer software and systems professionals on a time and materials basis to
clients in Israel. In connection with the transaction, the Company increased
its
holdings in dsIT Solutions to 80%. Total proceeds of the transaction were
approximately $3,661 (not including transaction costs of approximately $230).
As
a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a gain from the sale of
discontinued operations of $541, net of taxes of $373. As part of the
transaction, goodwill of $4,358 (net of associated cumulative translation
adjustment of $22) associated with dsIT Technologies was allocated to the
discontinued component based on the fair value of dsIT Technologies and dsIT
Solutions. Together with the transaction, the Company issued to the purchaser
a
warrant to purchase 10% of dsIT Solutions for $200. The fair value of the
warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model to be of an immaterial
amount. Although the Company continues to provide certain professional time
and
materials services to clients in Israel on a limited basis, these continuing
activities are limited to existing customers and are not material. Therefore,
the classification of dsIT Technologies as a discontinued operation under SFAS
No. 144 is appropriate.
Profit
and loss of the discontinued operations associated with Technologies were as

US
based consulting
Since
the
latter part of 2003, the Company has not recorded revenues from its US-based
consulting business. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company decided
to
discontinue its efforts to reestablish this business as it was previously
conducted. As a result, the Company recorded a gain from discontinued operations
of $348, net of tax.
As
at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, these discontinued operations had liabilities of
$217 and $307, respectively.
Profit
and loss of these discontinued operations within consulting segment were as

NOTE
4—INVESTMENT IN COMVERGE
On
April
7, 2003, the Company and its then consolidated Comverge subsidiary, signed
and
closed on a definitive agreement with a syndicate of venture capital firms
raising an aggregate of $13,000 in capital funding. The Company purchased $3,250
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued by Comverge in the equity
financing and incurred transaction costs of an additional $294. In connection
with the transaction, the Company converted to equity intercompany balances
of
$9,673.
The
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Comverge’s common stock
initially on a one-for-one basis subject to adjustment for the achievement
of
certain performance criteria. Conversion is mandatory (i) in the event that
the
holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred consent to such conversion or (ii) upon the closing of a firmly
underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock of Comverge at a per
share price not less than five times the original per-share purchase price
of
the Preferred Stock. The holders of Preferred Stock have no mandatory redemption
rights.
In
connection with Comverge's April 2003 equity financing transactions and the
Company’s dilution and the valuation of Comverge’s common stock reflected in the
transaction, the Company recorded an increase of $1,085 to its common stock
investment in Comverge. The adjustment was recorded to additional paid-in
capital.
As
a
result of the private equity financing transactions and other agreements
described above, effective April 1, 2003, Comverge is no longer a controlled
subsidiary of the Company and thus, the Company no longer consolidates
Comverge's balance sheet and results of operations, accounting for its
investment in Comverge on the equity method.
The
Company has entered into various agreements with Comverge and the syndicate
of
venture capital investors. These agreements provide for, among other things,
restrictions and other provisions relating to the transfer, voting and
registration of the Comverge shares owned by the Company, and the Company's
right to receive quarterly and annual financial reports from Comverge.
F-
15
Until
December 31, 2003, the Company had an option to purchase from Comverge up to
$1,500 of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A-2 Preferred
Stock
has the same purchase price as the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Series A-2
Preferred Stock has the same rights as the Series A and the Series A-1 Preferred
Stock, except the Series A-2 Preferred Stock is junior in priority in
liquidation (which includes the sale of Comverge) to both the Series A and
Series A-1 Preferred Stock. On December 22, 2003, the Company exercised its
option and invested an additional $100 in Series A-2 Convertible Preferred
Stock.
In
September 2004, the Company sold 480,769
shares
of Comverge Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $1,000, resulting in
a
gain of $705.
In
October 2004, Comverge closed on the sale of additional Series B Preferred
Stock
in the amount of $13,600. The Series B Preferred Stock is senior to the
preferred stock of Comverge owned by the Company. This round of financing
diluted the Company’s holdings to approximately 7% of Comverge’s preferred
equity and approximately 25% of its total equity. In 2005, there were no changes
to the Company’s holdings in Comverge.
Summary
financial information for Comverge as at December 31, 2004 and 2005 and for
the
period from April 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and years ended December 31,
2004
and 2005, respectively, is as follows:

Following
Comverge’s April 2003 equity transaction, the Company held approximately 51% of
the outstanding capital voting stock of Comverge (approximately 76% of
Comverge’s common stock and approximately 26% of Comverge’s Preferred Stock). As
a result of the transaction, the Company was no longer obligated to fund
Comverge. Additionally, as a result of the April 2003 equity transaction, the
Company had a negative investment balance in Comverge’s common stock of $1,824.
Due to the fact that the Company was no longer committed to fund Comverge,
the
Company ceased recording equity losses against its negative common stock
investment. The Company’s negative common stock investment will only be adjusted
upon disposition of the Company’s common stock investment or when the Company
realizes equity income from Comverge in excess of any accumulated equity losses
recorded on its Preferred Stock investment.
In
the
future, equity income from the Company’s preferred investment may be recorded up
to the Company’s original $3,644 preferred share investment in Comverge, and
thereafter to its investment in Comverge’s common shares, of which the Company
currently owns approximately 76%. As at December 31, 2005, the Company has
a
provision for unrecognized losses in Comverge of $64. As at December 31, 2005,
the Company will record equity income from its preferred investment in Comverge,
if and when Comverge records net income in excess of approximately $924.

NOTE
8--GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As
required by SFAS No. 142, the Company performs an annual impairment test of
recorded goodwill (during the fourth quarter of each year), or more frequently
if impairment indicators are present. The Company’s goodwill is entirely in its
software consulting and development segment. The fair value of the software
consulting and development segment was determined by applying a market-rate
multiple to the estimated near-term future revenue stream expected to be
produced by the segment. In each of the year ending December 31, 2003, 2004
and
2005, the Company performed its annual impairment test and no goodwill
impairment resulted.
In
August
2005, the Company sold its dsIT Technologies subsidiary (see Note 3). As a
result of the transaction, goodwill of $4,358 (net of associated cumulative
translation adjustment of $22) associated with dsIT Technologies was allocated
to the discontinued component based on the fair value of dsIT Technologies
and
dsIT Solutions. In addition, the Company recorded an addition to goodwill of
$79
resulting from its increased holdings in dsIT Solutions.

Lines of credit
At
December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $335 in Israeli credit lines
available to dsIT, of which $130 was then being used and $205 was available
for
future draws. These credit lines are generally for a term of one year,
denominated in NIS and bear interest at a weighted average rate of the Israeli
prime rate per annum plus 2.5% (at December 31, 2004, plus 2.6%). The Israeli
prime rate fluctuates and as of December 31, 2005 was 6.0% (December 31, 2004,
5.2%). The Company has a floating lien and provided guarantees with respect
to
dsIT’s outstanding lines of credit.
(b)
Short
and
Long-Term Debt
Short
and
long-term debt includes bank debt representing loans received by the Company’s
Israeli subsidiaries from Israeli banks denominated in NIS. Also included is
other debt taken to finance the purchase of automobiles. Other debt is

NOTE
11—LIABILITY FOR EMPLOYEE TERMINATION BENEFITS
(a) |
Israeli
labor law and certain employee contracts generally requires payment
of
severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination
of
employment in certain other circumstances. The Company has recorded
a
severance pay liability for the amount that would be paid if all
its
Israeli employees were dismissed at the balance sheet date, on
an
undiscounted basis, in accordance with Israeli labor law. This
liability
is computed based upon the employee’s number of years of service and
salary components, which in the opinion of management create entitlement
to severance pay in accordance with labor agreements in
force.
|
The
liability is partially offset by sums deposited in dedicated funds in respect
of
employee termination benefits. The Company may only utilize the insurance
policies for the purpose of disbursement of severance pay. For certain Israeli
employees, the Company’s liability is covered mainly by regular contributions to
defined
contribution plans. The amounts funded as above are not reflected in the balance
sheets, since they are not under the control and management of the
Company.
(b) |
Severance
pay expenses amounted to approximately,
$868, $684 and $463 for
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005,
respectively.
|
(c) |
The
Company expects to contribute approximately $156 to the insurance
policies
in respect of its severance pay obligations in the year ended December
31,
2006.
|
(d) |
The
Company expects to pay the following future benefits to its employees
upon
their normal retirement age in the next ten
years:

The
liability as at December 31, 2005 for future benefit payments in the next ten
years is included in these financial statements in “liability for employee
termination benefits”. The liability for future benefits does not reflect any
amounts already deposited in dedicated funds with respect to those employees

current salary rates and the number of service years that will be accumulated
upon their retirement date. These amounts do not include amounts that might
be
paid to employees that will cease working with the Company before their normal
retirement age.
(e)

limit allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. This plan also provides for
discretionary Company contributions, of which none were made for the years
ended
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

In
June
2002, the Company completed a transaction with an investor, pursuant to which
$2,000 was invested in the Company in exchange for a 10% convertible note and
a
three-year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at
an exercise price of $4.20 per share. The Company used the Black-Scholes
valuation method to estimate the fair value of the 125,000 warrants to purchase
common stock of the Company, using a risk free interest rate of 3.0%, its
contractual life of three years, an annual volatility of 73% and no expected
dividends. The Company estimated the fair value of the beneficial conversion
feature and related warrant at the issuance of the convertible note to be
approximately $692. Such amount was credited to additional paid-in capital
and
was charged to interest expense over the conversion period (with respect to
the
note) and the term of the note (with respect to the warrants), using the
effective interest method. In the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company
recorded $176 of the interest expense with respect to the beneficial conversion
feature and warrants. In addition, the Company incurred other debt issuance
costs of $167 with respect to the issuance of the convertible note. In the
year
ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded interest expense of $42 with
respect other debt issuance costs. In 2005, the warrants associated with this
transaction expired.
F-
23
In
December 2002, the Company’s then consolidated subsidiary, Comverge, Inc.,
secured a three-year $2,000 revolving line of credit. In connection with this
line of credit, the Company also issued a five-year warrant to purchase 190,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable in three tranches at exercise
prices ranging from $2.00 to $3.34 per share, all of which were immediately
exercisable. The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation method to estimate
the
fair value of the warrants to purchase 190,000 shares of common stock of the
Company, using a risk free interest rate of 3.1%, its contractual life of five
years, an annual volatility of 82% and no expected dividends. The Company
estimated the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature and related
warrants at the issuance of the convertible line of credit to be approximately
$244 and credited such amount to additional paid-in capital. The Company
recorded interest expense of $178 with respect to the beneficial conversion
feature of the warrants during the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition,
Comverge recorded debt issuance costs of $86 with respect to the issuance of
the
line of credit. The Company recorded amortization of such costs of $7 during
the
year ended December 31, 2003 (amortization is only for the period during which
the Company consolidated the results of Comverge - see Note 4).
In
2003,
the Company engaged a third party for the purposes of providing investor
awareness and business advisory services for a period of one year. As part
of
the consideration paid, the Company granted the service provider common stock
purchase warrants for the purchase of 120,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock (60,000 at $2.00 per share and 60,000 at $2.50 per share). The warrants
became fully vested in May, 2003 and expired on February 25, 2005. The Company
used the Black-Scholes valuation method to estimate the fair value of the
warrants, using a risk free interest rate of 1.75%, their contractual life
of
two years, an annual volatility of 88% and no expected dividends. The Company
estimated the fair value of the warrants to be approximately $97, which was
charged to selling, general and administrative expense in 2003.
(c)
Stock
Awards
In
September 2001, the Company entered into a restricted stock purchase agreement
with the then newly hired Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company’s energy
intelligence solutions segment subsidiary. Pursuant to this agreement, the
Company issued to the segment CEO 50,000 shares of its common stock at a
purchase price of $5.95 per share. The common stock was paid for by assigning
and endorsing to the Company a subordinated note in the amount of $298 issued
by
a public company. The subordinated note was reflected as a reduction in
shareholders’ equity.
In 2003,
the issuer of the note filed for bankruptcy and the Company wrote off this
note
to other expense.
In
January 2003, the CEO of the energy
intelligence solutions segment subsidiary received a restricted stock grant
of
50,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company recognized an expense
of $50, which was charged to selling, general and administrative expense in
2003.
In
August
2004, the CEO of the computer hardware
segment
subsidiary received a stock grant of 100,000 shares of common stock of the
Company. The Company recognized an expense of $71, which has been charged to
selling, general and administrative expense. In addition, the CEO of
the
computer
hardware
segment
subsidiary received a restricted stock grant of 95,000 shares of common stock
of
the Company, which vest one third each on the second, third and fourth
anniversaries of the grant. The Company recognized deferred compensation of
$68
with respect to the restricted stock grant and recognized an expense
(amortization) of $9 and $23, which has been charged to selling, general and
administrative expense in the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005,
respectively.
(d)
Stock
Repurchase Program
In
September 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up
to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In August 2002, the Company’s
Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 300,000 more shares of
the
Company’s common stock. During 2003, the Company purchased 2,000 of its common
stock (in 2003 and 2004, the Company also issued 9,000 and 18,000, respectively,
of its treasury shares with respect to options exercised), and at December
31,
2005 owned in the aggregate 820,704 of its own shares.
F-
24
(e)
Other
In
March
1996, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan
providing for the distribution of common stock purchase rights at the rate
of
one right for each share of the Company’s common stock held by shareholders of
record as of the close of business on April 1, 1996. The rights plan is designed
to deter coercive takeover tactics, including the accumulation of shares in
the
open market or through private transactions, and to prevent an acquirer from
gaining control of the Company without offering a fair price to all of the
Company’s shareholders. Each right initially entitles shareholders to buy
one-half of a share of common stock of the Company for $15. Generally, the
right
will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership
of
15% or more of the Company’s common stock or commences a tender or exchange
offer upon consummation of which such person or group would beneficially own
15%
or more of the Company’s common stock.
If
any
person (“Acquiring Person”) becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the
Company’s common stock, other than pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for
all outstanding shares of the Company approved by a majority of the Company’s
independent directors, then, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the
rights plan, each right not owned by the Acquiring Person or related parties
will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right’s then current exercise price,
shares of the Company’s common stock (or in certain circumstances, as determined
by the Board of Directors, cash, other property or other securities) having
a
value of twice the right’s then current exercise price. The Company will
generally be entitled to redeem the rights at one half of one cent per right
at
any time until 10 days (subject to extension) following a public announcement
that a 15% position has been acquired. The rights plan expired in March
2006.

Valuation
allowances relate principally to net operating loss and capital loss
carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards. The change in the valuation
allowance was an increase of $242 and an decrease of $1,811 in 2004 and 2005,
respectively. The increase in 2004 was primarily attributable to the Company’s
negative investment in Comverge partially offset by a reduction in future tax
rates in Israel (see (f) below), whereas the decrease in 2005 was primarily
attributable to the Company’s sale of its outsourcing consulting business (see
Note 3).

(e)
Tax
Reform in the United States
On
October 22, 2004, The American Jobs Creation Act (the “Act”) was signed into
law. The Act includes a deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated, as defined in the Act. The Company’s foreign earnings are solely
derived from the Company’s Israeli subsidiaries. Due to Israeli tax and company
law constraints, the significant minority interest in dsIT and dsIT’s own cash
and finance needs, the Company does not expect any foreign earnings to be
repatriated to the Company in the near future.
(f)
Tax
Reform in Israel
The
income of the Company’s Israeli subsidiaries is taxed at the regular Israeli
corporate tax rates. Through December 31, 2003, the corporate tax was 36%.
In July 2004, Amendment No. 140 to the Income Tax Ordinance was enacted.
One of the provisions of this amendment is that the corporate tax rate would
be
gradually reduced from 36% to 30%. In August 2005, a further amendment
(No. 147) was published, which makes a further revision to the corporate
tax rates prescribed by Amendment No. 140. As a result of the
aforementioned amendments, the corporate tax rates for 2004 and thereafter
are
as follows: 2004 - 35%, 2005 - 34%, 2006 - 31%, 2007 - 29%, 2008 - 27%, 2009
-
26% and for 2010 and thereafter - 25%. The reduction in the future income tax
rates caused a reduction of deferred tax assets and associated valuation
allowance of approximately $597 in 2004 and $58 in 2005.
NOTE
15--RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS
(a) The
Company paid consulting and other fees to directors of $112, $95 and $64 for

(b) The

defined maturity date, is denominated in NIS, is linked to the Index and bears
interest at 4%.
(e) During

respect to the note.
(f) At

NOTE
16--SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
(a)
General Information
As
of
December 31 2005, the Company has two reportable segments:
(i)
Software consulting and development services
(ii)
The
computer hardware segment is an authorized dealer and value-added reseller
of
computer hardware.
Until
March 31, 2003, the Company’s included the results of Comverge in its energy
intelligence solutions segment. Since March 31, 2003, the Company no longer
consolidates the results of Comverge (see Note 4) and no longer includes their
results in segment reporting.
In
August
2005, the Company
sold
dsIT Technologies and its associated outsourcing consulting business (see Note
3).
In
March
2006, the Company sold Databit, which comprised the entire computer hardware
segment (see Note 18(a)).
The
Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units, offering different
products and services and are managed separately as each business requires
different technology and marketing strategies. Similar operating segments
operating in different countries are aggregated into one reportable
segment.
(b)
Information about Profit or Loss and Assets
The
accounting policies of all the segments are those described in the summary
of
significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on
the
profit or loss from operations before other income (expense) and before income
taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses.
F-
28
The
Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or
transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. The Company
does not systematically allocate assets to the divisions of the subsidiaries
constituting its consolidated group, unless the division constitutes a
significant operation. Accordingly, where a division of a subsidiary constitutes
a segment that does not meet the quantitative thresholds of SFAS No. 131,
depreciation expense is recorded against the operations of such segment, without
allocating the related depreciable assets to that segment. However, where a
division of a subsidiary constitutes a segment that does meet the quantitative
thresholds of SFAS No. 131, related depreciable assets, along with other
identifiable assets, are allocated to such division.

NOTE
17--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair
values of financial instruments included in current assets and current
liabilities are estimated to approximate their book values, due to the short
maturity of such instruments. Fair values for long-term debt as of December
31,
2005 and 2004 are estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company
for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value of the
Company’s long-term debt is not materially different from its carrying amounts.
NOTE
18—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
(a)
Sale
of Databit
On
March
10, 2006 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March
9, 2006 (the "SPA"), for the sale of all the outstanding capital stock of its
Databit Inc. subsidiary ("Databit") to Shlomie Morgenstern, President of Databit
and a Vice President of the Company. The transactions contemplated under the
SPA, and the related transactions to which the Company, Shlomie Morgenstern
and
the Company’s CEO George Morgenstern were party to, were consummated on March
10, 2006 and included the following:
F-
31
(i)
Termination of the Employment Agreement dated August 19, 2004 among Shlomie
Morgenstern, Databit and the Company and the release of the Company from any
and
all liability (other than under the related stock option and restricted stock
agreements which would be modified as described below) including the waiver
by
Shlomie Morgenstern of any and all severance or change of control payments
to
which he would have been entitled.
(ii)
Amendment of the option and restricted stock agreements between the Company
and
Shlomie Morgenstern to provide for acceleration of any unvested grants on the
closing of the transactions and for all options to be exercisable through 18
months from the closing.
(iii)
The
assignment to and assumption by Databit of the obligations of Company to George
Morgenstern under the Employment Agreement between the Company and George
Morgenstern dated January 1, 1997, as amended (the "GM Employment Agreement")
upon the following terms:
(A)
Reduction of the
amounts owed to George Morgenstern under the GM Employment Agreement by the
lump
sum payment described below and the modifications to options and restricted
stock agreements described below.
(B)
A release by
George Morgenstern releasing Company from any and all liability and obligations
to him under the GM Employment Agreement, subject to a lump sum payment of
$600.
(iv)
The
assumption by Databit of the Company's obligations under the Company's leases
for the premises in New York City and Mahwah, New Jersey, which provide for
aggregate rents of approximately $450 over the next three years.
(v)
The
amendment of the option agreement with George Morgenstern dated December 30,
2004 to provide for the acceleration of the 60,000 options that are not
currently vested and the extension of the exercise period for all options held
by George Morgenstern to the later of (i) September 2009 and (ii) 18 months
after the cessation of his services as a director of the Company or as
a consultant under the new consulting agreement described
below.
(vi)
The
amendment of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated August 31, 1998 between George
Morgenstern and the Company to provide for the removal of any vesting conditions
from the 20,000 shares still subject to such conditions.
(vii)
Execution and delivery by George Morgenstern and the Company of a new consulting
agreement for a period of two years, pursuant to which George Morgenstern would
serve as a consultant to the Company, primarily to assist in the management
of
the Company's dsIT subsidiary, which agreement provides for de minimus
compensation per year plus a non-accountable expense allowance of $65 per year
to cover expected costs of travel and other expenses.
As
a result
of the transaction and above mentioned amendments to various restricted stock
and option agreements, the Company expects to record a loss of approximately
$2,100 in the first quarter of 2006. In addition, cash, which had previously
been restricted with respect to the GM Employment Agreement, will no longer
be
restricted. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2006, the Company will no longer
have any activity in its Computer Hardware segment.
(b)
Litigation Settlement Agreement
In
March
2006, the Company reached a settlement agreement with an Israeli bank with
respect to the Company’s claims against the bank and the bank’s counterclaims
against the Company. As part of the settlement agreement, all claims and
counterclaims by the parties are dismissed. The bank will return to the Company
approximately $94 plus interest and CPI adjustments of attorney fees and court
costs previously paid by the Company. As a result of the settlement agreement,
the accrued loss for contingent performance of bank guarantees of $410 will
be
reversed and the $247 collateralized portion of these guarantees (shown as
restricted cash at December 31, 2005) will no longer be restricted. The Company
expects to record income of approximately $330 in the first quarter of 2006
as a
result of the settlement agreement.

Report
of Independent Auditors
To
Board
of Directors and Shareholders of
Comverge,
Inc.
In
our
opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Comverge,
Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2005, and 2004, and the results
of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period
ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are
the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted
our
audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that
we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

Description
of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Description
of Business
Comverge,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"), provides (i) demand response systems comprised of hardware,
software
and installation services, to utilities and other energy customers (“Solutions
Business”) and (ii) on-call capacity relief to electricity providers and
transmitters (“Enterprise Business”). Prior to April 2003, the Company was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Data Systems & Software, Inc. (“DSSI”). In April
2003 and continuing thereafter, the Company completed a series of equity
financings. After giving effect to the equity financings, DSSI remains
the
Company’s largest shareholder, owning approximately 25 percent of the Company’s
issued and outstanding voting equity at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Liquidity
The
Company has experienced losses since inception and expects to incur losses
in
2006. During 2005, the Company raised additional funds from a convertible
subordinated debt financing (“Subordinated Debt”) and renegotiated its credit
facility, increasing its availability thereunder. In March 2006, the
Company
completed an additional equity financing through the sale of its Series
C
Preferred Stock. Management believes these financings, along with working
capital provided by operating activities and available borrowing capacity
under
its Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the operating needs of
the
Company over the next twelve months. The Company’s Enterprise Business requires
significant capital to support (i) planned operating losses incurred
during the
installation phase of long-term contracts, (ii) capital requirements
of
providing on-call demand response systems available to its utility customers,
and (iii) working capital and credit requirements incident to the provision
of
long-term capacity commitments. While capital expenditure requirements
are
discretionary, additional financing may be required if the Company continues,
as
expected, to develop its Enterprise Business.
Use
of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and
expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include
management’s estimate of provisions required for non-collectible accounts
receivable, obsolete or slow-moving inventory, and potential product
warranty
liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign
Currency Translations
The
currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations
of the
Company are conducted is the United States Dollar ("dollar"). Accordingly,
Comverge and its subsidiaries use the dollar as their functional currency.
All
exchange gains and losses denominated in non-dollar currencies are presented
on
a net basis in operating expense in the consolidated statement of operations
when they arise. Foreign currency gain (loss) amounted to $14, ($4) and
($15)
for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively.
Principles
of Consolidation and Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of its
subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of
America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassed to conform to the
current
year presentation.
C-6
Comverge,
Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(All
notes in thousands of dollars, except share and per share
data)
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity
of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
consist
of cash and demand deposits in banks and short-term investments.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specific identification of
accounts
considered to be doubtful of collection as well as historical experience.
As of
December 31, 2005 and 2004 there were $60 and $0 accounts identified
as doubtful
of collection, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is determined
on the
basis of specific identification based on acquisition cost, and due provision
is
made to reduce all slow-moving, obsolete, or unusable inventories to
their
estimated useful or scrap values. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 there
were provisions of $400 and $45, respectively, for inventory identified
as
slow-moving, obsolete, or unusable.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are presented at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of
the depreciable assets. In the case of installed assets that are part
of
long-term contracts, the assets are depreciated over the shorter of the
useful
life or the term of the contract. In respect of these installed assets,
depreciation expense is recognized as a component of cost of revenue.
Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful
life.
Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are expensed
as
incurred.
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, the Company recognizes the
fair
value of liabilities for asset retirement obligations in the period in
which it
is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Any associated
asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount
of the
long-lived asset and recognized as depreciation expense over the assets
useful
life. As part of the Company’s Enterprise Business, the Company installs
hardware at the places of residence of select utility customers’ homes. At the
request of the homeowner, the Company is obligated to remove this hardware.
Accordingly, in 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized an asset retirement
obligation liability and an associated increase in the value of long-lived
assets of $67 and $102, respectively. In
2003,
the estimated cost of these obligations was immaterial. As such, there
was no
obligation recorded.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
SFAS No.
144 requires recognition of impairment in the event the net book value
of such
assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such
assets.
If impairment is indicated, the carrying amount of the asset is written
down to
fair value. The Company has identified no such impairments.
C-7
Comverge,

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(All

Goodwill
and Intangibles
Goodwill
represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible
assets of
subsidiaries acquired in purchase transactions. In accordance with SFAS
No. 142,
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill
is not being amortized. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
assets
are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis, on December 31
of each
year. Based on the Company’s most recent impairment test, there has been no
impairment loss recognized for goodwill.
The
costs
of licensed technology are presented at their fair value at acquisition
date.
These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
license,
generally five years.
The
costs
of registered patents and patents pending acquired from third parties
are
presented at their fair value at acquisition date. In addition, registration
costs and fees for patents are capitalized. Registered patent costs are
amortized over the estimated remaining useful life of the patents, from
four to
fourteen years. Costs for patents pending are not amortized until they
are
issued.
Revenue
Recognition
In
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, Revenue
Recognition,
the
Company recognizes revenues when the following criteria have been met:
delivery
has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, collection is probable,
and
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
Revenue
from time-and-materials service contracts and other services are recognized
as
services are provided. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized
on a
straight-line basis over the life of the contract.
In
accordance with SAB 104, the Company defers revenues and associated costs
of
revenues related to certain long term contracts until such time as the
contract
price is fixed and determinable. These contracts require the Company
to provide
on-call electricity capacity through demand reduction to utility customers,
and
require a measurement and verification of such capacity on an annual
basis in
order to determine final contract consideration for a given contract
year.
Contract years begin at the end of a control season (generally, at the
end of a
utility’s summer cooling season that correlates to the end of the utility’s peak
demand for electricity) and continue for twelve months thereafter. For
the year
ended December 31, 2005, the Company deferred $2,425 of revenues and
$873 of
corresponding costs of revenues in respect of these contracts. For the
year
ended December 31, 2004, the Company deferred $1,713 of revenues and
$281 of
corresponding costs of revenues, of which amounts were recognized in
the year
ended December 31, 2005, upon the successful measurement and verification
calculation that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2005.
In
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21, Accounting
for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,
the
Company assesses revenue arrangements to determine when multiple deliverables
exist in order to determine if separate accounting is required for these
deliverables separately per EITF 00-21.
In
certain contracts, the Company provides multiple deliverables to its
customers,
including software licenses. AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,
Software
Revenue Recognition,
requires that each element of these arrangements be recorded to revenue
based on
its fair value, which is determined based on vendor specific objective
evidence
(“VSOE”). Establishment of VSOE is generally based on what price is charged
for
the element when sold on a standalone basis. Since the Company does not
generally sell the separate elements of these contracts on a standalone
basis,
revenue for all elements is recognized ratably over the life of the contract,
once all related revenue recognition requirements are met.
C-8
Comverge,

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(All
notes in thousands of dollars, except share and per share
data)
In
accordance with EITF 00-10, Accounting
for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs,
the
Company reports shipping and handling revenues and their associated costs
in
revenue and cost of revenue, respectively.
In
accordance with EITF 01-9, Accounting
for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller
of the
Vendor’s Products),
the
Company records incentive payments made to customers as cost of
revenue.
During
2005, to correct a misclassification of cost of revenue components, the
Company
reclassified certain costs of revenue related to its 2004 statement of
operations. The revision resulted in a decrease in product cost of revenue
and a
corresponding increase in service cost of revenue of $602. Accordingly,
the 2004
statement of operations in these financial statements reflects this revision.
This revision had no impact on previously reported amounts of net income,
gross
profit, cash flows, or balance sheet accounts.
Warranty
Provision
Comverge
generally warrants its products against certain manufacturing and other
defects.
These product warranties are provided for specific periods of time and/or
usage
of the product depending on the nature of the product, the geographic
location
of its sale and other factors. In late 2004, the Company began to outsource
manufacturing operations to a contract manufacturer that provides warranty
coverage pursuant to the contractual terms of the agreement.

costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $3,457,
$2,816,
and $813 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Substantially all advertising costs were incurred to acquire electricity
capacity in fulfillment of certain long-term capacity contracts with
utility
customers of the Company’s Enterprise Business.
Internal
Use Software
Software
development costs of $59 incurred in 2005 were capitalized in accordance
with
SOP No. 98-1, Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal
Use, and
will
be amortized over a three-year period in accordance with Company policy
and
expected life.

Research
and Development Expenses
All
research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for employee and director stock-based compensation in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees
(“APB”),
and related interpretations. In accordance therewith, the Company records
compensation expense on fixed stock options and restricted common stock
granted
to employees and directors at the date of grant if the current market
price of
the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options and
restricted common stock. Compensation expense on variable stock option
grants is
estimated until the measurement date. Deferred compensation is amortized
to
compensation expense over the vesting period of the underlying options.
The
Company complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS
No.
123,
Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation.
As
such, the Company provides pro forma net loss disclosures for employee
and
director stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined
in SFAS
No. 123 had been applied. The Company’s stock-based employee compensation plan
is described more fully in Note 14.
Total
stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair-value method
for all
awards was $99, $105, and $122 for the years ended December 31, 2005,
2004 and
2003, respectively. See the pro forma net loss reconciliation in the

The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to consultants on
a fair
value basis in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and EITF 96-18, Accounting
for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring,
or
in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between
the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and
the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss,
capital
loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are
classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the
related
assets or liabilities for financial reporting, or according to the expected
reversal dates of the specific temporary differences, if not related
to an asset
or liability for financial reporting. Valuation allowances are established
against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that they will
not be
realized.

Comverge,

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(All

Income
taxes associated with the undistributed earnings of a subsidiary are
provided
for in accordance with APB No. 23, when the Company has sufficient evidence
that
the subsidiary has invested or will invest the undistributed earnings
indefinitely. If it is determined that the undistributed earnings of
a
subsidiary will be remitted in the foreseeable future, all taxes related
to the
remittance of such undistributed earnings are provided for in the current
period
as income tax expense.
Impact
of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On
December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment,
which
is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB 25, and
amends
SFAS No. 95, Statement
of Cash Flows.
Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach
described
in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments
to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized
in the
income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is
no longer
an alternative. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts
for
share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method and, as
such, recognizes no compensation cost on grants of employee stock options
when
the exercise price of an option is at or below the fair market value
of the
underlying stock. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) could
have a
significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. The impact of
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because
it will
depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future.
The
Company will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the prospective
method. The Company used the minimum-value method of measuring the fair-value
of
share based payments granted prior to January 1, 2006. Pursuant to SFAS
No.
123(R), after January 1, 2006, the Company will continue to account for
the
remaining unvested portion of those previously granted awards, unless
modified,
using the minimum-value method. No compensation cost is expected to be
recognized for awards previously issued. For awards granted on or after
January
1, 2006 the Company will apply SFAS No. 123 (R), which requires a fair-value
measurement of all options grants.

certain finished products sold to the Company in 2003 and carried on
the
Company’s books as inventory and as a trade payable. The inventory is classified
as a current asset as it is probable of disposition in 2006 through such
repurchase commitment. The associated liability to the vender is classified
as
long-term pursuant to extended payment terms granted by the supplier
to the
Company.

Liability for Employer Termination Benefits |
Under
Israeli law and labor agreements, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Comverge
Control Systems, is required to make severance and pension payments to
dismissed
employees and to employees leaving employment in certain other circumstances.
The obligation for severance pay benefits, as determined by the Israeli
Severance Pay Law, is based upon length of service and last salary. These
obligations are substantially covered by regular deposits with recognized
severance pay and pension funds and by the purchase of insurance policies.
The
pension plans are multi-employer and independent of the Company. Pension
and
severance costs for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
was $89,
$143, and $217, respectively, and is included in general and administrative
expenses.
On
December 27, 2005, the Company notified the employees of its Comverge
Control
Systems subsidiary of its intent to close the Israel office of such subsidiary
effective June 30, 2006. Accordingly, the Company’s liability for employee
termination benefits of $580 accrued as of December 31, 2005 is classified
as a
current liability and the unfunded amount representing the difference
between
the liability and the prepaid employee termination benefits of $343 as
of
December 31, 2005 will be funded in 2006.

Long-Term
Trade Payable
|
At
December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company owed a trade vendor $1,362 in
consideration of certain inventory obtained pursuant to a purchase agreement
executed in September of 2003. An amendment to the terms of the purchase
agreement in November 2005 changed the due date of this trade obligation
to June
30, 2007. The amount owed bears no interest and is not collateralized
by any
assets of the Company.
9.
|
Long-Term
Debt
|
The
Company maintains a senior credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a major
United States commercial bank. On September 24, 2004, the Company modified
the
Credit Facility to (i) increase the revolving line credit amount to $7,000,
(ii)
increase the letter of credit sublimit to $3,000 and (iii) extend the
maturity
date of the Credit Facility to September 15, 2007. On October 25, 2005,
the
Company amended the Credit Agreement to include in the definition of
eligible
receivables certain amounts owing but not yet invoiced to account debtors.
The
Credit Facility, as amended, bears interest between prime +2.0 percent
and prime
+2.75 percent per annum. No interest was paid on the Credit Facility
in 2005 and
$85 was paid in 2004. The Credit Facility is collateralized by virtually
all of
the assets of the Company including the Company’s intellectual property.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility can be requested, from time to time,
up to
an amount that, based on a formula, includes 80 percent of (i) eligible
receivables and (ii) eligible inventory limited to the lesser of (A)
25 percent
of FMV, (B) 80 percent of net orderly liquidation value or (C) $500.
At December
31, 2005 and 2004 the Company had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.
As of
December 31, 2005, the Company had borrowing availability under its Credit
Facility of approximately $4,000.
On
June
10, 2005, the Company entered into a $4,000 Subordinated Convertible
Debt
(“Convertible Debt”) agreement with a U.S. based lender with a maturity date of
June 2010. The Convertible Debt bears interest at 3 percent plus the
3-month
LIBOR rate. The Convertible Debt requires payment of interest only provided
that
the Company meets or exceeds certain pro forma revenue targets calculated
on a
quarterly basis during the term. If the Company does not meet or exceed
such
revenue targets, at the option of the lender, the Convertible Debt will
amortize
ratably over the remaining term. No principal payments have been required
to
date and none are expected to be during 2006. The lender may convert
the
principal amount of the loan into the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock at a price of $3.62 per share at any time during its term. The
Company may
convert the principal amount of the loan under the same terms upon a
qualified
public offering of its common stock. The principal amount of the Convertible
Debt may be prepaid at any time, provided however, that the payment shall
include an amount calculated to compensate the lender for interest that
would
have been paid through the maturity date of the Convertible Debt, determined
by
multiplying the principal balance by the current interest rate for each
interest
paying period from the prepayment date to the maturity date and then
discounting
the results to the repayment date at an annual rate of 20%. Additionally,
in the
event of a prepayment of the principal amount, the lender has been provided
a
warrant to purchase 1,103,387 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock
at a price of $3.62 per share. The Convertible Debt is collateralized
by a
second lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and is
subordinated to the Credit Facility. Borrowings were used for general
corporate
purposes.

Income
Taxes
|
The
Company has Federal, state, and foreign net operating losses of approximately
$32,689, $23,234 and $3,241, respectively, at December 31, 2005. The
Federal net
operating loss carryforwards begin expiring in 2019 and state net operating
loss
carryforwards begin expiring in 2006. During year ended December 31,
2003,
certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership, as defined in the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, resulted in a limitation on
the
utilization of a significant portion of the Federal and state net operating
losses on an annual basis.
At
December 31, 2005, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for
the full
amount of its net deferred tax asset since realization of any future
tax benefit
cannot be sufficiently assured.

(c)
Royalties
The
Company’s subsidiary, Comverge Control Systems, is obligated to pay royalties
to
the Government of Israel on proceeds from the sale of certain products
that
incorporate intellectual property developed in whole or in part through
grants
from the Chief Scientist of the State of Israel. Royalties are payable
at a rate
of 4.5 percent of the annual sales of such products. Royalties payable
under
this arrangement are not to exceed the original amount of the grants,
which was
$595. At December 31, 2005, the maximum amount payable on the future
sale of
products, if any, was approximately $388. With the announcement of the
Company’s
intention to close the Israel office effective June 30, 2006, the Chief
Scientist could require payment of the remaining amount of the unamortized
grant
proceeds or such lesser amount as may be negotiated as a condition to
the
transfer of the intellectual property developed with the grant proceeds
to the
Company. The Company is not under any obligation to repay the grant if
the
intellectual property is not transferred.
(d)
Certain Intellectual Property
In
connection with its decision to close its Israel research and development
center
in 2006, the Company is assessing alternatives in respect of the transfer
to its
United States operations certain intellectual property developed with
grants
from the Office of the Chief Scientist. The Company has held preliminary
conversations with the Chief Scientist and can transfer such intellectual
property without restriction provided that it pays to the Chief Scientist
$388,
the unamortized balance of the grants, or such lesser amount as it may
be able
to negotiate. It may also replicate such intellectual property in the
United
States provided that it does not do so with work product developed in
Israel and
does not utilize Israeli employees who originally created such intellectual
property to do so. The Company is also investigating the viability of
transferring the intellectual property and corresponding obligation to
the Chief
Scientist to another Israel corporation and licensing the use of such
intellectual property as is necessary to incorporate into its
products.

Common
Stock
Holders
of the Company’s common stock are entitled to dividends if and when declared by
the board of directors. The holders of common stock, voting as a separate
class,
are entitled to elect two members of the Board of Directors at each meeting

shares of its Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-1 Preferred”)
for $2,000 and (iii) 36,076 of its Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Series A-2 Preferred”) for $100. The Company repurchased its Series A-1

monetary
consideration to one of the investors. The fair value of these shares,
based on
an independent third party valuation, is $34. Accordingly, the Company

B
Preferred and the common stock, resulting in $13,599 allocated to the
Series B

of the
then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock consent to such conversion
or (ii)

proceeds to the Company are at least $30,000. The holders of Preferred
Stock
have no redemption rights.
(b)
Board
of Directors

Stock,
voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two directors, one
of whom
shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and to remove
from
office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation,
death
or removal of such directors. The board can be increased by no more than

additional seats based on a majority vote of the then members of the
board. The
additional two seats shall be filled by Independent Directors, who shall
be
selected by unanimous vote of the then members of the Board of Directors

than the Independent Directors.
(c)
Dividends
In
the
event the Company declares and pays any dividend on its common stock

have
been payable had all of the outstanding Preferred Stock been converted
to common
stock immediately prior to the record date of the dividend.
The
holders of shares of Preferred Stock, on a pari passu basis and in preference
to
the holders of any shares of any other class of capital stock of the
Company,
shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors, but only out of funds legally available therefore, dividends
at the
rate of 8 percent per annum based, in each case, on the original Preferred
Stock
issue price. Dividends are noncumulative.

of stock
of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the stockholders
of the Company.

(e)
Liquidation Preferences
Upon
any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary
or
involuntary, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred and the Series
B
Preferred shall be entitled to be paid, on a pari passu basis, before
any
distribution or payment is made upon the Series A-2 Preferred Stock or
on the
common stock an amount equal to 1.5 times the original Series A issue
price per
share or original Series B price per share, respectively, plus all declared
and
unpaid dividends. After payment to the holders of Series A Preferred
and the
Series B Preferred of the full amounts to which they are entitled the
holders of
Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution
or payment is made upon the common stock, an amount equal to 1.5 times
the
original Series A-2 issue price per share plus all declared but unpaid
dividends. After the preferential payments have been made in full, any
additional remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders
of
Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis) and common stock until such
holders
of Preferred Stock have received, inclusive of their liquidation amount,
an
amount equal to 5 times their original issue price per share. After payment
of
all preferential amounts, the entire remaining assets of the Company
legally
available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably among
the
holders of its common stock.
Unless
otherwise agreed by holders of at least 66 2/3 percent of the then-outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the
Company shall also include (i) the acquisition or sale of the Company

Company’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such
acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale
hold at
least 50 percent of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity
or
(ii) a sale, lease or other conveyance or disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, including a sale of all
or
substantially all of the assets of the Company’s subsidiaries, if such assets

conversion prices of Preferred Stock are subject to broad-based weighted
average
anti-dilution adjustments to reduce dilution in the event that the Company
issues additional equity securities (other than Board approved employee
incentives, including stock options) at a purchase price less than the
then-applicable conversion price of the Series A Preferred, Series A-2
Preferred
and Series B Preferred, respectively. The conversion price is also subject
to
proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations
and
the like.

During
2002, the Company repriced certain incentive stock options of ten employees.
One
of these employee’s options were repriced, pursuant to his employment agreement,
from $4.00 to $1.20 per share. The Company also repriced certain incentive
stock
options of ten employees (including the aforementioned employee) who
held
certain anti-dilution options from $1.94 to $1.31 per share. As a result
of
these repricings, the options are accounted for as variable awards with
a
compensation charge recognized for periodic changes in the intrinsic
value of
the option until the award expires, is exercised, or is forfeited. No
compensation charge was recognized during 2005 or 2004 related to these
repriced
option grants since the fair market value of the common stock was below
the
exercise prices. During 2004, the Company incurred $30 in deferred compensation
related to option grants which was recognized into expense during 2005.
