TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Article 10 of
Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and note disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the management,
considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results
of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the
three and six month periods ended October 31, 2006 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April
30, 2007. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial
statements to conform to the current presentation. The amounts for the April
30,
2006 balance sheet have been extracted from the audited consolidated financial
statements included in Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2006.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the
accounts of WPCS International Incorporated ("WPCS") and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, WPCS Incorporated , Invisinet Inc. ("Invisinet"), Walker Comm
Inc.
("Walker"), Clayborn Contracting Group, Inc. (“Clayborn”), Heinz Corporation
(“Heinz”), Quality Communications & Alarm Company (“Quality”), New England
Communication Systems, Inc. (“NECS”) from June 1, 2006 (date of acquisition) and
Southeastern Communication Service, Inc. (“SECS”) from July 19, 2006 (date of

The
Company provides design-build engineering services for specialty communication
systems, which are dedicated wireless networks for specified applications,
and
for wireless infrastructure, which encompasses commercial cellular systems
for
wireless carriers.
The
Company provides a range of services including
site
design, spectrum analysis, engineering, trenching, electrical work, structured

approximately $4,523,000 in cash. NECS was acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement among WPCS, NECS, and the shareholders of NECS. Based on the
preliminary allocation of the net assets acquired from NECS, the Company has
recognized goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $3,537,000.
Upon completion of the final purchase price allocation, there may be a decrease
or increase in the amount assigned to goodwill and a corresponding increase
or
decrease in tangible or intangible assets.

$2,061,000 in cash and 200,288 shares of the Company’s common stock having a
value of approximately $1,400,000. SECS was acquired pursuant to a Stock
Purchase Agreement among WPCS, SECS, and the shareholders of SECS. Based on
the
preliminary allocation of the net assets acquired from SECS, the Company has
recognized goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $1,997,000.
Upon completion of the final purchase price allocation, there may be a decrease
or increase in the amount assigned to goodwill and a corresponding increase
or
decrease in tangible or intangible assets.

2 - EQUITY ISSUED WITH REGISTRATION RIGHTS
On
November 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement with certain
investors for an aggregate of 2,083,887 shares of its common stock and 2,083,887
common stock purchase warrants for $10,000,000. Under the terms of the sale,
the
investors were granted certain registration rights that provided for liquidated
damages in the event the Company failed to timely perform under the registration
rights agreements.
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company became aware that the SEC had
recently announced its preferred interpretation of the accounting for common
stock and warrants with registration rights under Emerging Issues Task Force
(“EITF”) 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and
Potentially Settled in the Company’s Own Stock,” and EITF 05-04, “The Effect of
a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject
to
EITF 00-19.” Although the EITF was still reviewing the guidance in EITF 05-04,
the SEC concluded that under EITF 00-19, the common stock and warrants subject
to registration rights where significant liquidated damages could be required
to
be paid to the holder of the instrument in the event the issuer fails to
maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement for a preset time period
does not meet the tests required for shareholders’ equity classification and,
accordingly, must be reflected as temporary equity in the balance sheet until
the conditions are eliminated. Additionally, the fair value of warrants should
be recorded as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to shareholders’
equity, adjusted to market value at the end of each period. In analyzing
instruments under EITF 00-19, the SEC concluded that the likelihood or
probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration
statement was not a factor at that time.
For
the
six months ended October 31, 2005, the warrant liability increased by
$1,727,682, due to the increase in the market value of the Company’s common
stock, resulting in the Company recording a non-cash loss on fair value of
warrants during the six month period. The non-cash loss on warrants had no
effect on the Company’s cash flows or liquidity.
On
April
11, 2006, the Company entered into a waiver agreement with the institutional
investors related to this private placement. Under the waiver, the parties
agreed to modify the registration rights agreement associated with the common
stock and warrants issued in November 2004 affected by EITF 00-19, thereby
eliminating the penalty provisions that could have resulted from not maintaining
an effective registration statement related to these common shares and shares
underlying the warrants, and eliminating any similar non-cash charges in
subsequent fiscal years.
NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A
summary
of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation
of
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements follows (additional
policies are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-KSB):
Goodwill
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets are no longer amortized but are assessed for impairment on at least
an
annual basis. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with
definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives
to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment.
SFAS
No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually,
utilizing a two-step methodology. The initial step requires the Company to
determine the fair value of the business acquired (reporting unit) and compare
it to the carrying value, including goodwill, of such business (reporting unit).
If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss is recognized.
However, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value,
the
goodwill of the unit may be impaired. The amount, if any, of the impairment
is
then measured in the second step, based on the excess, if any, of the reporting
unit’s carrying value of goodwill over its implied value.
The
Company determines the fair value of the reporting units for purposes of this
test primarily by using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. Significant
estimates used in the valuation include estimates of future cash flows, both
future short-term and long-term growth rates, and estimated cost of capital
for
purposes of arriving at a discount factor. The Company performs its annual
impairment test during the fourth quarter absent any interim impairment
indicators.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company generates its revenue by providing engineering and deployment services
for wireless infrastructure services and specialty communication systems. The
Company provides a range of services including site design, spectrum analysis,
engineering, trenching, electrical work, structured cabling, product
integration, testing and project management.
The
Company primarily records revenue and profit on a percentage-of-completion
basis
using the cost-to-cost method. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus
accrued profits less earned revenues and progress payments on uncompleted
contracts. Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when
engineering is completed and/or site construction is completed.
The
Company has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such
contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue
recognition. Cost estimates are reviewed monthly on a contract-by-contract
basis, and are revised periodically throughout the life of the contract such
that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to
the
date of the revision. Significant management judgments and estimates, including
the estimated cost to complete projects, which determines the project’s percent
complete, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in
the
accounting period. Current estimates may be revised as additional information
becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts
indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the total loss anticipated.
The
Company also recognizes certain revenue when equipment is delivered or the
services have been provided to the customer. For maintenance contracts, revenue
is recognized ratably over the service period.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
Earnings
(loss) per common share is computed pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" (“EPS”). Basic income (loss) per common share is computed as net income
(loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from
common stock issuable through stock options and warrants. At October 31, 2006,
the Company had 738,637 stock options and 1,884,347 warrants outstanding which
are potentially dilutive securities. For the three months ended October 31,
2006, 135,834 options were not included in the computation of fully diluted
earnings per share, because the stock option exercise price exceeded the market
price of common stock and, therefore, the effects would be antidilutive. The
assumed conversion of the remaining 602,803 stock options and 1,884,347 warrants
resulted in a 526,420 share increase in weighted average shares for fully
diluted earnings per share.
For
the
six months ended October 31, 2006, 135,834 options were not included in the
computation of fully diluted earnings per share, because the stock option
exercise price exceeded the market price of common stock and, therefore, the
effects would be antidilutive. The assumed conversion of the remaining 602,803
stock options and 1,884,347 warrants resulted in a 440,964 share increase in
weighted average shares for fully diluted earnings per share.
At
October 31, 2005, the Company had 800,154 stock options and 2,509,671 warrants
outstanding which were potentially dilutive securities. For the three months
ended October 31, 2005, 568,651 stock options and 2,509,671 warrants were not
included in the computation of fully diluted earnings per share, because the
stock option and warrant exercise prices exceeded the market price of the common
stock and, therefore, the effects would be antidilutive. The assumed conversion
of the remaining 231,503 stock options resulted in a 15,528 share increase
in
weighted average shares for fully diluted earnings per share.
For
the
six months ended October 31, 2005, 800,154 stock options and 2,509,671 warrants
were not included in the computation of fully diluted earnings per share,

Stock-Based
Compensation
SFAS
123(R) (revised December 2004), Share-Based
Payment,
an
amendment of SFAS 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation, established
accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As a result of the
amendments to SFAS 123, the Company is required to expense the fair value of
employee stock options effective May 1, 2006. The revised standard requires
the
Company to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other
share-based payments over the service period.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required
to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date
of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The most significant estimates relate to the calculation of
percentage-of-completion on uncompleted contracts, allowance for doubtful
accounts, valuation of inventory, useful life of customer lists, deferred tax
valuation allowance, the fair values of the assets and liabilities of purchased
businesses and the factors related to determining if goodwill is impaired.
Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FAS No.
109
(“FIN
48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and is
subject to significant and varied interpretations that have resulted in diverse
and inconsistent accounting practices and measurements. Addressing such
diversity, FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement
attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing
and measuring changes in such tax positions for financial statement purposes.
FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in
income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,
2006. We have not yet determined the impact of FIN 48 on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial
statement disclosures.
On
September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements
("SFAS
157"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007
and
for interim periods within those years. SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related
disclosure requirements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact,
if
any, of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows or financial statement
disclosures.
NOTE
4 - ACQUISITIONS
In
accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” acquisitions are
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method
of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their
estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the purchase price
consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds the
fair
value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the
acquisition.
NECS
Effective
June 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common
stock of NECS. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company to the NECS
selling shareholders, net of acquisition transaction costs of $65,150, was
$4,523,064, of which $4,333,987 was paid at closing. Additional purchase price
adjustments of $189,077 were paid in October 2006 to settle working capital
adjustments. In addition, for each $2.00 of earnings before interest and taxes
for the calendar year ending December 31, 2006, the NECS shareholders shall
be
paid aggregate additional consideration of $1.00, up to a maximum of $468,000.
At the Company’s option, any amount of consideration due to be paid may be paid
in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at the last sale price
of the common stock on the date two days prior to the date the payment is due).
In connection with the acquisition, NECS entered into employment agreements
with
two of the shareholders, each for a period of two years and a consulting
agreement with one of the shareholders for a period of seven years.
The
acquisition of NECS provides the Company with additional project engineering
expertise for specialty communication systems, broadens the Company’s customer
base especially in the public safety and gaming markets, including the
Massachusetts State Police, University of Connecticut and Foxwoods Resort
Casino, and expands the Company’s geographic presence in New
England.

NOTE
7 - LINE OF CREDIT
On
June
3, 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a commercial bank.
The
credit agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to
exceed $5,000,000, together with a letter of credit facility not to exceed
$500,000, (the “Credit Agreement”). The Company also entered into security
agreements with the bank, pursuant to which each subsidiary granted a security
interest to the bank in all of their assets.
Under
the
terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company was permitted to borrow
up to $5,000,000 under the revolving credit line, based upon eligible
receivables as of October 31, 2006. As of October 31, 2006, the outstanding
balance was $4,437,446. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a
rate
equal to either the bank’s reference rate plus one half (0.5%) percent, or LIBOR
plus two and three-quarters (2.75%) percent, as the Company may request (8.187%
as of October 31, 2006). The Company paid a facility fee to the bank of $50,000
on the closing date. In addition to the loan, a $500,000 letter of credit was
also re-issued in favor of Walker’s surety bonding company as collateral for
performance and payment bonds. In November 2006, the letter of credit was
released by the surety bonding company and cancelled by the bank.
The
Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to
(i)
restrictions on the permitted ratio of total unsubordinated liabilities to
tangible net worth plus subordinated indebtedness, (ii) the Company's total
tangible net worth, (iii) working capital, (iv) minimum earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the change in the warrant
liability and (v) dividend restrictions. As of October 31, 2006, the Company
was
in compliance with the credit agreement covenants. The loan commitment expires
on August 31, 2008. The Company may prepay the loan at any time.

officers, directors, key employees or consultants may be granted options. Under
the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan, 400,000 shares of common stock were reserved
for
issuance upon the exercise of stock options, stock awards or restricted stock.
At October 31, 2006, there were no stock options granted under this plan.
In
September 2005, the Company adopted the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, under which
officers, directors, key employees or consultants may be granted options. Under
the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, 400,000 shares of common stock were reserved
for
issuance upon the exercise of stock options, stock awards or restricted stock.
These shares were registered under Form S-8. Under the terms of the 2006
Incentive Stock Plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to

May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
123(R) (revised December 2004), Share-Based
Payment,
an
amendment of SFAS 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation,
for
stock-based employee compensation, using the modified prospective transition
method. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB
107), to provide guidance regarding the adoption of SFAS 123(R), and then
amended the compliance date for SFAS 123R to begin with the first fiscal year
beginning on or after December 15, 2005. Under SFAS 123(R), the Company is
required to recognize compensation cost for share-based compensation issued
to
employees, net of estimated forfeitures, under share-based compensation plans
using a fair value method. Using the modified prospective transition method,
compensation expense recognized for the six months ended October 31, 2006
includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent
to May 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with
the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and (b) compensation cost for all share-based
payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, May 1, 2006, based on
the
intrinsic value method. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
As
a
result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on May 1, 2006, the Company’s income before
income taxes and net income for the six months ended October 31, 2006 were
each
approximately $21,000 lower than if it had continued to account for share-based
compensation under APB 25. At October 31, 2006, the total compensation cost
related to unvested stock options granted to employees under the Company’s stock
option plans but not yet recognized was approximately $81,000 and is expected
to
be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. For the six months
ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, the weighted average fair value of stock
options granted was $3.86 and $2.08, respectively.
The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Compensation cost is then recognized
on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period and is net of
estimated forfeitures. The following assumptions were used to compute the fair
value of stock options granted during the six months ended October 31, 2006:
Risk-free

WPCS
INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
risk-free rate is based on the rate of U.S Treasury zero-coupon issues with
a
remaining term equal to the expected life of the option grants. Expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock
using the weekly closing price of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to SAB
107. The expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company
has
never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash
dividends. The expected term represents the period that the Company’s
stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was calculated using
the
simplified method pursuant to SAB 107.
Prior
to
May 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value method in accounting for
its stock-based compensation plan. Had the Company measured compensation under
the fair value-based method for stock options granted and amortized the cost
over the related vesting period, the Company’s net income and net income per
share would have been as follows:

2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
This
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect
Management's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such
as
“may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or
similar words. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief
or current expectations of us and members of its management team as well as
the

performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may
differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking
statements.
Readers
are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by
us in
this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Important factors currently known to Management could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. We
undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to
reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes
in the future operating results over time. We believe that its assumptions
are
based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and
operations and the business and operations of the Company. No assurances are
made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities
will not differ materially from its assumptions. Factors that could cause
differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for the
Company’s services, fluctuations in pricing for materials, and
competition.
Business
Overview
We
respond to the growing demand in wireless communications by providing
engineering services for the design and deployment of wireless networks. We
operate in two segments that we define as specialty communication systems and
wireless infrastructure services.
We
generate our revenue by providing a range of services including the design,
deployment and maintenance of:
|
·
|
two-way
radio communication systems, which are used primarily for emergency
dispatching;
|
|
·
|
Wi-Fi
networks, which are wireless local area networks that operate on
a set of
product compatibility standards;
|
|
·
|
WiMAX
networks, which are networks that can operate at higher speeds and
over
greater distances than Wi-Fi;
|
|
·
|
mesh
networks, which are redundant systems to route information between
points;
|
|
·
|
millimeter
wave networks, which are high capacity networks for high speed wireless
access;
|
|
·
|
fixed
wireless networks, which are used in point-to-point outdoor
communications;
|
|
·
|
Radio
Frequency Identification, or RFID, networks, which allow customers
to
identify and track assets;
|
|
·
|
free-space
optics, which is a wireless communication technology that uses light
to
transmit voice, data and video; and
|
|
·
|
commercial
cellular systems, which are used primarily for mobile
communications.
|
Specialty
communication systems are wireless networks for a specified customer
application. In this segment, we can utilize any facet of wireless technology
or
a combination of various wireless technologies to engineer a cost effective
network for a customer’s wireless communication requirement. Customers include
corporations, government entities and educational institutions. For the six
months ended October 31, 2006, specialty communication systems represented
approximately 81% of our total revenue.
Wireless
infrastructure services include the design, deployment and maintenance of
commercial cellular systems. The primary customers in this category include
major wireless service providers such as Sprint Nextel and Cingular. For the
six
months ended October 31, 2006, wireless infrastructure services represented
approximately 19% of our total revenue.
Management
currently considers the following events, trends and uncertainties to be
important in understanding our results of operations and financial condition:
|
·
|
For
the six months ended October 31, 2006, the specialty communication
systems
segment represented approximately 81% of total revenue, and the wireless
infrastructure services segment represented approximately 19% of
total
revenue, which remains consistent with our historical services revenue
mix.

2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
·
|
As
we continue to search for acquisitions, our primary goal is to identify
companies which are performing well financially and are compatible
with
the services that we perform in the specialty communication systems
segment. This trend could lead to a further shift in our revenue
composition towards the specialty communication systems segment.
We
believe that the strength of our experience in the design and
deployment of specialty communication systems gives us a competitive
advantage.
|
|
·
|
We
also seek to achieve organic growth in our existing business by maximizing
the value of our existing customer base, maintaining and expanding
our
focus in vertical markets and developing our relationships with technology
providers.
|
|
·
|
We
believe that the emergence of new and improved technologies such
as WiMAX
will create additional opportunities for us to design and deploy
solutions
through the use of the latest technologies and assisting existing
customers in enhancing the efficiency of their existing wireless
networks
using new technologies.
|
|
·
|
We
believe that the wireless carriers will continue to make expenditures
to
build and upgrade their networks, increase existing capacity, upgrade
their networks with new technologies and maintain their existing
infrastructure. In response to this trend, we will continue to provide
network deployment services that address wireless carrier
needs.
|

·

In
connection with the sale of our common stock and warrants to certain
investors during the third quarter ended January 31, 2005, we granted
certain registration rights that provided for liquidated damages
in the
event of failure to timely perform under the agreements. During
the third
quarter of fiscal 2006, we became aware that the SEC had recently
announced its preferred interpretation of the accounting for common
stock
and warrants with registration rights under Emerging Issues Task
Force
(EITF) 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To,
and Potentially Settled in the Company’s Own Stock,” and EITF 05-04, “The
Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial
Instrument Subject to EITF 00-19.” Although the EITF was still reviewing
the guidance in EITF 05-04, the SEC concluded that under EITF 00-19,
the
common stock and warrants subject to registration rights where
significant
liquidated damages could be required to be paid to the holder of the
instrument in the event the issuer fails to maintain the effectiveness
of
a registration statement for a preset time period does not meet
the tests
required for shareholders’ equity classification and accordingly, must be
reflected as temporary equity in the balance sheet until the conditions
are eliminated. Additionally, the fair value of warrants should
be
recorded as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to shareholders’
equity, adjusted to market value at the end of each period. In
analyzing
instruments under EITF 00-19, the SEC concluded that the likelihood
or
probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration
statement was not a factor at that
time.
|
|
|
For
the six months ended October 31, 2005, the warrant liability
increased by
$1,727,682, due to the increase in the market value of our
common stock,
resulting in us recording a non-cash loss on fair value of
warrants during
the six month period. The non-cash loss on warrants had no
effect on our
cash flows or liquidity.
|
|
|
On
April 11, 2006, we entered into a waiver agreement with
the institutional
investors related to this private placement. Under the
waiver, the parties
agreed to modify the registration rights agreement associated
with the
common stock and warrants issued in November 2004 affected
by EITF 00-19,
thereby eliminating the penalty provisions that could
have resulted from
not maintaining an effective registration statement related
to these
common shares and shares underlying the warrants, and
eliminating any
similar non-cash charges in subsequent fiscal years.

Revenue
Revenue
for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was approximately $17,753,000,
as
compared to approximately $14,250,000 for the three months ended October 31,
2005. The increase in revenue for the period was primarily attributable to
the
acquisitions of NECS and SECS. For the three months ended October 31, 2006,
we
had one customer which comprised 19.5% of total revenue.
Total
revenue from the specialty communication segment for the three months ended
October 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $14,023,000 or 79.0% and $11,995,000
or 84.2% of total revenue, respectively. Wireless infrastructure segment revenue
for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately
$3,730,000 or 21.0% and $2,255,000 or 15.8% of total revenue, respectively.
Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of
revenue consists of direct costs on contracts, materials, direct labor, third
party subcontractor services, union benefits and other overhead costs. Our
cost
of revenue was approximately $12,361,000 or 69.6% of revenue for the three
months ended October 31, 2006, compared to approximately $10,339,000 or 72.6%
for the prior year. The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue was due
to
the corresponding increase in revenue during the three months ended October
31,
2006, primarily from the acquisitions of NECS and SECS. The decrease in cost
of
revenue as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to the revenue mix
attributable to revenue from Walker, Clayborn, Heinz, Quality and the
acquisitions of NECS and SECS.

primarily attributable to the acquisition of SECS. The increase in cost of
revenue as a percentage of revenue was due to the revenue mix attributable
to
Heinz and Invisinet and the acquisition of SECS.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
For
the
three months ended October 31, 2006, total selling, general and administrative
expenses were approximately $3,240,000, or 18.3% of total revenue compared
to
$2,356,000 or 16.5% of revenue for the same period in the prior year. Included
in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
October 31, 2006 were $1,730,000 for salaries, commissions, and payroll taxes.
The increase in salaries and payroll taxes compared to the prior year was due
to
the increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of NECS and SECS.
Professional fees were $85,000, which include accounting, legal and investor
relation fees. Insurance costs were $497,000 and rent for office facilities
was
$145,000. Automobile and other travel expenses were $257,000 and
telecommunication expenses were $90,000. Other selling, general and
administrative expenses totaled $436,000. For the three months ended October
31,
2006, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty
communication and wireless infrastructure segments were approximately $2,336,000
and $633,000, respectively.
For
the
three months ended October 31, 2005, selling, general and administrative
expenses were approximately $2,356,000 or 16.5% of revenue. Included in the
selling, general and administrative expenses was $1,359,000 for salaries,
commissions and payroll taxes, $88,000 in professional fees and insurance costs
of $377,000. Rent for our office facilities amounted to $96,000. Automobile
and
other travel expenses were $168,000 and telecommunication expenses were $60,000.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $208,000. For the
three months ended October 31, 2005, total selling, general and administrative
expenses for the specialty communication and wireless infrastructure segments
were approximately $1,807,000 and $255,000, respectively.
Depreciation
and Amortization
For
the
three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, depreciation was approximately
$182,000 and $135,000, respectively. The increase in depreciation was due to
the
purchase of property and equipment and the acquisition of fixed assets from
acquiring NECS and SECS. The amortization of customer lists and backlog for
the
three months ended October 31, 2006 was approximately $156,000 as compared
to
$75,000 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in amortization
was
due to the acquisition of customer lists from NECS and SECS and backlog from
SECS. All
customer lists are amortized over a period of five to six years from the date
of
their acquisition. Backlog is amortized over a period of one year from the
date
of its acquisition.
Gain
on Change in Fair Value of Warrants
Gain
on
change in fair value of warrants for the three months ended October 31, 2005
was
approximately $2,383,000. The increase in the gain was due principally to the
decrease in the market value of our common stock. The gain represented the
unrealized non-cash change in the fair value of certain warrants for the
quarter, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The non-cash gain on
fair
value of warrants has no impact on our cash flows or liquidity.
Net
Income
The
net
income was approximately $1,065,000 for the three months ended October 31,
2006.
Net income was net of federal and state income tax expense of approximately
$690,000. The variation in effective tax rates between periods was primarily
due
to the gain on fair value of warrants described above.
Net
income was approximately $3,168,000 for the three
months ended October 31, 2005. Net income was net of federal and state income
tax expense of approximately $509,000.

Revenue
Revenue
for the six months ended October 31, 2006 was approximately $34,189,000, as
compared to approximately $26,422,000 for the six months ended October 31,
2005.
The increase in revenue for the period was primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of NECS and SECS. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, we
had
two separate customers which comprised 18.0% and 14.0% of total revenue.
Total
revenue from the specialty communication segment for the six months ended
October 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $27,774,000 or 81.2% and $22,602,000
or 85.5% of total revenue, respectively. Wireless infrastructure segment revenue
for the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $6,415,000
or 18.8% and $3,820,000 or 14.5% of total revenue, respectively.
Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of
revenue consists of direct costs on contracts, materials, direct labor, third
party subcontractor services, union benefits and other overhead costs. Our
cost
of revenue was approximately $24,052,000 or 70.4% of revenue for the six months
ended October 31, 2006, compared to approximately $19,469,000 or 73.7% for
the
prior year. The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue was due to the
corresponding increase in revenue during the six months ended October 31, 2006,
primarily from the acquisitions of NECS and SECS. The decrease in cost of
revenue as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to the revenue mix
attributable to revenue from Walker, Clayborn, Heinz, Quality and the
acquisitions of NECS and SECS.

six months ended October 31, 2006, total selling, general and administrative
expenses were approximately $6,336,000, or 18.5% of total revenue compared
to
$4,622,000 or 17.5% of revenue for the same period in the prior year. Included
in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended October
31, 2006 were $3,304,000 for salaries, commissions, and payroll taxes. The
increase in salaries and payroll taxes compared to the prior year was due to
the
increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of NECS and SECS.

and Amortization
For
the
six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, depreciation was approximately
$337,000 and $272,000, respectively. The increase in depreciation was due to
the
purchase of property and equipment and the acquisition of fixed assets from
acquiring NECS and SECS. The amortization of customer lists and backlog for
the
six months ended October 31, 2006 was approximately $234,000 as compared
to $149,000 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in amortization
was due to the acquisition of customer lists from NECS and SECS and backlog
from
SECS. All
customer lists are amortized over a period of five to six years from the date
of
their acquisition. Backlog is amortized over a period of one year from the
date
of its acquisition.
Loss
on Change in Fair Value of Warrants
Loss
on
change in fair value of warrants for the six months ended October 31, 2005
was
approximately $1,728,000. The increase in the loss was due principally to the
increase in the market value of our common stock. The loss represents the

2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
October 31, 2006, we had working capital of approximately $19,113,000, which
consisted of current assets of approximately $29,075,000 and current liabilities
of approximately $9,962,000.
Operating
activities provided approximately $3,702,000 in cash for the six months ended
October 31, 2006. The sources of cash from operating activities total
approximately $5,283,000, comprised of $1,979,000 net income, $562,000 in net
non-cash charges, a $1,417,000 decrease in accounts receivable, a $759,000
increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts payable, a $291,000 increase in deferred revenue, a $187,000 decrease
in inventory and a $88,000 increase in income taxes payable. The uses of cash
from operating activities total approximately $1,581,000, comprised of, a
$385,000 increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts, a $759,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses, and a $437,000 increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.
Our
investing activities utilized approximately $6,395,000 in cash during the six
months ended October 31, 2006, which consisted of $420,000 paid for property
and
equipment, $4,458,000 for the acquisition of NECS, net of cash acquired of
approximately $130,000 and $1,517,000 for the acquisition of SECS, net of cash
acquired of approximately $200,000.
Our
financing activities provided cash of approximately $1,292,000 during the six
months ended October 31, 2006. Financing activities include borrowings under
lines of credit of approximately $1,437,000, the net proceeds from the exercise
of warrants of approximately $198,000, proceeds from stock options of
approximately $115,000, offset by repayments of equipment loans and capital
lease obligations of approximately $299,000, $109,000 to pay shareholder amounts
previously accrued for acquisitions, and approximately $50,000 of equity
issuance costs related to shares of our common stock issued to the shareholders
of SECS.
Our
capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the market for our
services, the resources we devote to developing, marketing, selling and
supporting our business, the timing and extent of establishing additional
markets and other factors. On June 3, 2005, we entered into a credit agreement
with a commercial bank. The credit agreement provides for a revolving line
of
credit in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000, together with a letter of credit
facility not to exceed $500,000. We also entered into security agreements,
pursuant to which each subsidiary granted a security interest to the bank in
all
of their assets.
Under
the
terms of our credit agreement, as amended, we were permitted to borrow up to
$5,000,000 under the revolving credit line, based upon eligible receivables
as
of October 31, 2006. As of October 31, 2006, the outstanding balance was
$4,437,446. The loan under the credit agreement bears interest at a rate equal
to either the bank’s reference rate plus one half (0.5%) percent, or LIBOR plus
two and three-quarters (2.75%) percent, as we may request (8.187% as of October
31, 2006). We paid a facility fee to the bank of $50,000 on the closing
date. In
addition to the loan, a $500,000 letter of credit was re-issued in favor of
Walker’s surety bonding company as collateral for performance and payment bond
requirements. In November 2006, the letter of credit was released by the surety
bonding company and cancelled by the bank.
The
credit agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to
(i)
restrictions on the permitted ratio of total unsubordinated liabilities to
tangible net worth plus subordinated indebtedness, (ii) our total tangible
net
worth, (iii) working capital, (iv) minimum earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, and the change in the warrant liability, and
(v)
dividend restrictions. As of October 31, 2006, we were in compliance with the
credit agreement covenants. The loan commitment expires on August 31, 2008.
We
may prepay the loan at any time.
At
October 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10,879,000,
and working capital of approximately $19,113,000. With the funds available
from
internally generated funds and the revolving credit line, we believe that we
have sufficient capital to meet our needs through October 31, 2007. Our future
operating results may be affected by a number of factors including our success
in bidding on future contracts and our continued ability to manage controllable
costs effectively. To the extent we grow by future acquisitions that involve
consideration other than stock, our cash requirements may increase.
Effective
June 1, 2006, we acquired NECS, a Connecticut corporation, for approximately
$4,523,000 in cash. NECS was acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
among WPCS, NECS, and the shareholders of NECS. In addition, for each $2.00
of
earnings before interest and taxes for the calendar year ending December 31,
2006, the NECS shareholders shall be paid aggregate additional consideration
of
$1.00, up to a maximum of $468,000. At our option, any amount of consideration
due to be paid may be paid in cash or shares of our common stock (valued at
the
last sale price of the common stock on the date two days prior to the date
the
payment is due). In connection with the acquisition, NECS entered into
employment agreements with two of the shareholders, each for a period of two
years and a consulting agreement with one of the shareholders for a period
of
seven years. Based on the preliminary allocation of the net assets acquired
from
NECS, we have recognized goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately
$3,537,000. Upon completion of a formal purchase price allocation there may
be a
decrease or increase in the amount assigned to goodwill and a corresponding
increase or decrease in tangible or intangible assets.

2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The
acquisition of NECS provides us with additional project engineering expertise
for specialty communication systems, broadens our customer base especially
in
the public safety and gaming markets, including the Massachusetts State Police,
University of Connecticut and Foxwoods Resort Casino, and expands our geographic
presence in New England.
Effective
July 19, 2006, we acquired SECS of Sarasota, Florida for approximately
$2,061,000 in cash and 200,288 shares of our common stock having a value of
approximately $1,400,000. SECS was acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement among WPCS, SECS, and the shareholders of SECS. We filed a
registration statement with the SEC to register the shares of common stock
issued to the former SECS shareholders, and the registration statement was
declared effective by the SEC on August 24, 2006. In connection with the
acquisition, SECS entered into employment agreements and a consulting agreement
with certain officers or former officers of SECS. Based on the preliminary
allocation of the net assets acquired from SECS, we recognized goodwill and
other intangible assets of approximately $1,997,000. Upon completion of a formal
purchase price allocation there may be a decrease or increase in the amount
assigned to goodwill and a corresponding increase or decrease in tangible or
intangible assets.
The
acquisition of SECS provides us with additional project engineering expertise
for wireless infrastructure services, broadens our customer base of corporate,
government and educational clients, including the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Verizon, BellSouth, Comcast, Time Warner,
University of Florida and Puerto Rico Telephone, and expands our geographic
presence in the Southeastern United States.
Backlog
As
of
October 31, 2006, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $20.3
million compared to approximately $19.2 million at October 31, 2005. We
anticipate our backlog at October 31, 2006 to be recognized as revenue within
eight months from that date. We define backlog as the value of work-in-hand
to
be provided for customers as of a specific date where the following conditions
are met (with the exception of engineering change orders): (i) the price of
the
work to be done is fixed; (ii) the scope of the work to be done is fixed, both
in definition and amount; and (iii) there is a written contract, purchase order,
agreement or other documentary evidence which represents a firm commitment
by
the customer to pay us for the work to be performed. These backlog amounts
are
based on contract values and purchase orders and may not result in actual
receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. We have
experienced variances in the realization of our backlog because of project
delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and economic
factors beyond our control and we may experience such delays or cancellations
in
the future. Backlog does not include new firm commitments which may be awarded
to us by our customers from time to time in future periods. These new project
awards could be started and completed in this same future period. Accordingly,
our backlog does not necessarily represent the total revenue that could be
earned by us in future periods.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have
no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Financial
Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies
include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation
of
their financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies
impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of
these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those
policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and
estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
We
believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying
any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material
effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or
liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
25
WPCS
INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM
2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The
accounting policies identified as critical are as follows:
Use
of
Estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required
to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date
of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. The most significant estimates relate to the estimation of percentage
of
completion on uncompleted contracts, valuation of inventory, allowance for
doubtful accounts, estimated life of customer lists and estimates of the fair
value of reporting units and discounted cash flows used in determining whether
goodwill has been impaired. Actual results will likely differ from those
estimates.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are due within contractual payment terms and are stated at amounts
due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Credit is extended
based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition. Accounts outstanding
longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We determine
the allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time
trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, the
customer's current ability to pay its obligation us, and the condition of the
general economy and the industry as a whole. We write off accounts receivable
when they become uncollectible, and payment subsequently received on such
receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Goodwill
and other Long-lived Assets
We
assess
the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from the estimated
future cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition.
Our long-lived assets subject to this evaluation include property and equipment
and amortizable intangible assets. We assess the impairment of goodwill annually
as of April 30 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
it
is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. Intangible
assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully
recoverable. We are required to make judgments and assumptions in identifying
those events or changes in circumstances that may trigger impairment. Some
of
the factors we consider include a significant decrease in the market value
of an
asset, significant changes in the extent or manner for which the asset is being
used or in its physical condition, a significant change, delay or departure
in
our business strategy related to the asset, significant negative changes in
the
business climate, industry or economic condition, or current period operating
losses, or negative cash flow combined with a history of similar losses or
a
forecast that indicates continuing losses associated with the use of an
asset.
Our
annual review for goodwill impairment for the fiscal years 2006 and 2005 found
that no impairment existed. Our impairment review is based on comparing the
fair
value to the carrying value of the reporting units with goodwill. The fair
value
of a reporting unit is measured at the business unit level using a discounted
cash flow approach that incorporates our estimates of future revenues and costs
for those business units. Reporting units with goodwill include Invisinet and
Heinz within our wireless infrastructure segment and Walker, Clayborn and
Quality within our specialty communications segment. Our estimates are
consistent with the plans and estimates that we are using to manage the
underlying businesses. If we fail to deliver products and services for these
business units, or market conditions for these businesses fail to improve,
our
revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved and we may incur charges for
goodwill impairment, which could be significant and could have a material
adverse effect on our net equity and results of operations.
Deferred
Income Taxes
We
determine deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end of each period based
on
the future tax consequences that can be attributed to net operating loss and
credit carryovers and differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases,
using
the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or
recovered. The recognition of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation
allowance if it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible.

2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
We
consider past performance, expected future taxable income and prudent and
feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation
allowance. Our forecast of expected future taxable income is based over such
future periods that we believe can be reasonably estimated. Changes in market
conditions that differ materially from our current expectations and changes
in
future tax laws in the U.S. may cause us to change our judgments of future
taxable income. These changes, if any, may require us to adjust our existing
tax
valuation allowance higher or lower than the amount we have
recorded.
Revenue
Recognition
We
generate our revenue by providing project engineering and deployment services
for wireless infrastructure services and specialty communication systems. We
provide a range of engineering services including site design, spectrum
analysis, engineering, trenching, electrical work, structured cabling, product
integration, testing and project management.
We
primarily record revenue and profit on a percentage-of-completion basis on
the
cost-to-cost method. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued
profits less earned revenues and progress payments on uncompleted contracts.
Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when engineering
is
completed and/or site construction is completed. We include in operations
pass-through revenue and costs on cost-plus contracts, which are
customer-reimbursable materials, equipment and subcontractor costs, when the
contract determines that we are responsible for the engineering specification,
procurement and management of such cost components on behalf of the customer.
We
have
numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such contracts
require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition.
Cost estimates are reviewed monthly on a contract-by-contract basis, and are
revised periodically throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments
to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the
revision. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the
estimated cost to complete projects, which determines the project’s percent
complete, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in
the
accounting period. Current estimates may be revised as additional information
becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts
indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the total loss
anticipated.
We
also
recognize certain revenue when equipment is delivered or the services have
been
provided to the customer. For maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized
ratably over the service period.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS
123(R) (revised December 2004), Share-Based
Payment,
an
amendment of SFAS 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation, established
accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As a result of the
amendments to SFAS 123, we are required to expense the fair value of employee
stock options effective May 1, 2006. The revised standard requires us to expense
the fair value of employee stock options and other share-based payments over
the
service period.
No
other
recently issued accounting pronouncement issued or effective after the end
of
the fiscal year is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In
June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FAS No. 109
(“FIN
48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is subject
to significant and varied interpretations that have resulted in diverse and
inconsistent accounting practices and measurements. Addressing such diversity,
FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute,
as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and
measuring changes in such tax positions for financial statement purposes. FIN
48
also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income
taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
We have not yet determined the impact of FIN 48 on our condensed consolidated
financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement
disclosures.
On
September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements
("SFAS
157"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007
and
for interim periods within those years. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure
requirements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of
the
adoption of SFAS 157 on our condensed consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

ITEM
3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES
ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Interest
Rate Risk
Interest
rate risk represents the potential loss from adverse changes in market interest
rates. We
are
subject to interest rate risk with respect to amounts borrowed under our credit
facility because such amounts bear interest at a variable rate. The interest
rate is equal to the bank’s reference rate plus one half (0.5%) percent, or
LIBOR plus two and three-quarters (2.75%) percent, as we may request (8.187%
as
of October 31, 2006). At October 31, 2006, we had approximately $4,437,000
million of indebtedness outstanding under our revolving credit facility. A
1.0%
increase in interest rates on un-hedged variable rate borrowings of $4.4 million
at October 31, 2006 would result in additional interest expense of approximately
$22,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2006.
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
as
of October 31, 2006. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls
and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of
achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure
controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating
the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based
on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a
reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance
that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
We regularly
review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes
to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while
ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes
may
include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems,
consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
We
are
currently not a party to any material legal proceedings or claims.
There
have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in
Part I, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended April 30, 2006, other than to update certain financial
information as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2006 regarding
the
following risk factors.
Amounts
included in our backlog may not result in actual revenue or translate into
profits.
As
of
October 31, 2006, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $20.3
million. This backlog amount is based on contract values and purchase orders
and
may not result in actual receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period
or at all. In addition, contracts included in our backlog may not be profitable.
We have experienced variances in the realization of our backlog because of
project delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and
economic factors beyond our control and we may experience delays or
cancellations in the future. If our backlog fails to materialize, we could
experience a reduction in revenue, profitability and liquidity.
There
may be an adverse effect on the market price of our shares as a result of shares
being available for sale in the future.
As
of
October 31, 2006, holders of our outstanding options and warrants have the
right
to acquire 2,588,124 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock
options and warrants, at exercise prices ranging from $4.80 to $19.92 per share,
with a weighted average exercise price of $6.98. The sale or availability for
sale in the market of the shares underlying these options and warrants could
depress our stock price. We have registered substantially all of the underlying
shares described above for resale. Holders of registered underlying shares
may
resell the shares immediately upon issuance upon exercise of an option or
warrant.
If
our
stockholders sell substantial amounts of our shares of common stock, including
shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the market
price of our common stock may decline. These sales also might make it more
difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future
at a
time and price that we deem appropriate.
None.
None.
On
September 25, 2006, we held our annual meeting of stockholders. During the
annual meeting, three proposals were put to the stockholders for a vote. The
stockholders approved all three proposals, including: 1) the election of five
directors to the Board of Directors; 2) ratifying the selection of J.H. Cohn
LLP
as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending
April 30, 2007; and 3) adopting the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and authorizing
400,000 shares for issuance thereunder.
None.
