CLARUS
CORPORATION
JUNE
30, 2008
NOTE
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clarus
Corporation and subsidiaries ("Clarus" or the "Company," which may be referred
to as "we," "us," or "our") as of and for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information in notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the
United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been included. The results of the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained
for
the year ending December 31, 2008. These interim financial statements should
be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE
2. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
As
part
of our previously announced strategy to limit operating losses and enable the
Company to redeploy its assets and use its substantial cash, cash equivalent
assets and marketable securities to enhance stockholder value, on December
6,
2002, we sold substantially all of our electronic commerce business, which
represented substantially all of our revenue-generating operations and related
assets. During January 2003, we sold the assets relating to our Cashbook product
representing the remainder of our operating assets.
No
transaction expenses were recognized for the second quarter of 2008. The Company
recognized approximately $8,000 of transaction expenses in the second quarter
of
2007, arising out of an acquisition negotiation and due diligence process that
terminated in June 2007 without the consummation of the acquisition. Transaction
expense consists primarily of professional fees and expenses related to due
diligence, negotiation and documentation of acquisition, financing and related
agreements.
We
are
currently working to identify suitable merger partners or acquisition
opportunities. Although we are not targeting specific business industries for
potential acquisitions, we plan to seek businesses with substantial cash flow,
experienced management teams, and operations in markets offering substantial
growth opportunities.
Our
investment portfolio consists of United States government and government agency
notes and bonds. The Company has continued to monitor its investment in U.S.
Government Agency securities and has not incurred any losses subsequent to
June
30, 2008. We believe investments in U.S. Government Agency securities are
stable and provide an increased yield over similar duration U.S. Treasury
securities.
NOTE
3. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic
net
(loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by
dividing the net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period.
Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders is
computed by including the effect of all potentially dilutive securities,
including options, warrants, restricted stock and redeemable convertible
preferred stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the
computation of diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to common
stockholders if their effect is anti-dilutive.
For
the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008, basic net loss per share attributable
to common stockholders is the same as diluted net loss per share attributable
to
common stockholders because all potentially dilutive securities were
anti-dilutive in computing diluted net loss per share for the period. Options
to
acquire 965,000 shares of common stock during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, were outstanding, but not included in the calculation of weighted
average number of diluted shares outstanding because the option exercise prices
were higher than the average market price of the Company's common stock during
the period. In addition, diluted net loss per share attributable to common
stockholders excludes the potentially dilutive effect of options to purchase
883,750 shares of the Company's common stock and 500,000 shares of restricted
stock whose exercise prices were lower than the average market price of the
Company's common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,
as
their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive because the Company incurred
losses during the periods.
4
For
the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, diluted net income per share
attributable to common stockholders included the dilutive effect of options
to
purchase 1,238,750 and 1,203,750 shares of the Company’s common stock,
respectively, and 500,000 shares of restricted stock as these securities were
potentially dilutive in computing net income per share. Diluted net income
per
share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 excluded the
anti-dilutive effect of options to purchase 400,000 and 435,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock respectively, whose exercise prices were higher than the
average market price of the Company’s common stock.

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
The
Company adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan"), which was
approved by stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting in June 2005. Under the
2005 Plan, the Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and
amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees
of the Company or its subsidiaries, directors, officers or consultants to the
Company. The 2005 Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights,
and restricted units. As of June 30, 2008, the number of shares authorized
and
reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan is 4.5 million, subject to an
automatic annual increase equal to 4% of the total number of shares of Clarus’
common stock outstanding. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that
may be granted through awards under the 2005 Plan to any employee in any
calendar year may not exceed 500,000 shares. The 2005 Plan will continue in
effect until June 2015 unless terminated sooner. As of June 30, 2008, 565,000
stock options have been awarded under the plan of which 280,000 are unvested
and
285,000 are vested and eligible for exercise.
The
Company recorded total non-cash equity compensation expense of approximately
$67,000 and $134,000 respectively, for the three and six months ended June
30,
2008 related to unvested restricted stock under SFAS 123R. For the three and
six
months ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred non-cash equity compensation
expense of approximately $131,000 and $263,000 related to stock options granted
December 13, 2007. There was no non-cash compensation expense related to stock
options incurred for the same period in 2007.
No
options were granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 or
2007.

The
fair
value of unvested options is determined based on the closing market price of
our
shares on the grant date and is recognized over the requisite service period
of
one to six years. As of June 30, 2008, there were 280,000 unvested shares and
unrecognized compensation cost of $671,000 related to unvested stock
options.
Under
the
provisions of FAS 123R, compensation expense for the restricted stock is
measured based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant and is
recognized over the requisite service period of ten years resulting in a charge
of $67,000 and $134,000 respectively, for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
NOTE
5. COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME
The
Company utilizes SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive (loss)
income and its components of net (loss) income and "Other Comprehensive (Loss)
Income." "Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income" refers to revenues, expenses and
gains and losses that are not included in net (loss) income but rather are
recorded directly in stockholders' equity. The components of comprehensive
(loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and
Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) and requires enhanced
disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS
133
and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related
hedge items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. SFAS 161 also requires the disclosure of the fair values of
derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format and
requires cross-referencing within the footnote of important information about
derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The
Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 161 might
have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). This standard identifies sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be
used
in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that
are
presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. The Company does not believe SFAS 162 will change its current
practices and thereby will not impact preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.
159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities –
Including an Amendment of FASB No. 115,” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows a company
to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement
attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities on a
contract-by-contract
basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be applied
prospectively. The adoption of this pronouncement has had no impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (revised
2007) (“SFAS 142(R)”), which changes many well-established business combination
accounting practices and significantly affects how acquisition transactions
are
reflected in the financial statements. Additionally, SFAS 141(R) will affect
how
companies negotiate and structure transactions, model financial projections
of
acquisitions and communicate to stakeholders. SFAS 141(R) must be applied
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on
or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption
of this statement could have on its financial condition, results of operation
and cashflow.
In
December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”), which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interests
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 requires
consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interests and requires
disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts
of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling
interest. Previously, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest
was
reported as an expense or other deduction in arriving at consolidated net
income. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company believes the adoption of this
statement will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which establishes a framework
for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, with the
exception that the applicability of SFAS No. 157’s fair value measurement
requirements to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not required or
permitted to be recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis
has
been delayed by the FASB for one year. The partial adoption of this
pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In
September 2003, the Company and Kanders & Company, Inc. (“Kanders &
Company”), an entity owned and controlled by the Company's Executive Chairman,
Warren B. Kanders, entered into a 15-year lease with a five-year renewal option,
as co-tenants to lease approximately 11,500 square feet in Stamford,
Connecticut. The Company and Kanders & Company have initially agreed to
allocate the total lease payments of $33,542 per month on the basis of Kanders
& Company renting 2,900 square feet for $8,386 per month, and the Company
renting 8,600 square feet for $25,156 per month, which are subject to increases
during the term of the lease. Rent expense is recognized on a straight line
basis. The lease provides the co-tenants with an option to terminate the lease
in years eight and ten in consideration for a termination payment. The Company
and Kanders & Company agreed to pay for their proportionate share of the
build-out construction costs, fixtures, equipment and furnishings related to
preparation of the space. In connection with the lease, the Company obtained
a
stand-by letter of credit in the amount of $850,000 to secure lease obligations
for the Stamford facility. Kanders & Company reimburses the Company for a
pro rata portion of the approximately $5,000 annual cost of the letter of
credit.
The
Company provides certain telecommunication, administrative and other office
services as well as accounting and bookkeeping services to Kanders & Company
that are reimbursed by Kanders & Company. Such services aggregated $37,700
during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $60,400 during the three months
ended June 30, 2007. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, such services aggregated $75,700 and $142,400,
respectively.
7
As
of
June 30, 2008, the Company had a net payable of $5,000 to Kanders & Company.
The amount due to and from Kanders & Company is included in prepaids and
other current assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding amount was paid and
received in July 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had an outstanding
receivable of $60,400 from Kanders & Company. The outstanding amount was
paid in July 2007.
The
Company provides certain telecommunication, administrative and other office
services to Stamford Industrial Group, Inc., formerly known as Net Perceptions,
Inc. (“SIG”) that are reimbursed by SIG. Warren B. Kanders, our Executive
Chairman, also serves as the Non-Executive Chairman of SIG. Such services
aggregated $10,600 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $16,300
during the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the six month period ended
June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, such services aggregated $18,600 and $55,200,
respectively.
As
of
June 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding a receivable of $10,600 due from
SIG.
The amount due from SIG is included in prepaids and other current assets in
the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding amount was paid in
the
third quarter of 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding a
receivable of $53,700 from SIG. The outstanding amount was paid by SIG in July
and August 2007.
During
the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
incurred no charges to Kanders Aviation LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s
Executive Chairman, Warren B. Kanders, relating to aircraft travel by directors
and officers of the Company for potential redeployment transactions, pursuant
the Transportation Services Agreement, dated December 18, 2003 between the
Company and Kanders Aviation LLC.
In
the
opinion of management, the rates, terms and considerations of the transactions
with the related parties described above approximate those that the Company
would have received in transactions with unaffiliated parties.
The
Board
of Directors has a general practice of requiring directors interested in a
transaction not to participate in deliberations or to vote upon transactions
in
which they have an interest, and to be sure that transactions with directors,
executive officers and major shareholders are on terms that align the interests
of the parties to such agreements with the interests of the
stockholders.
NOTE
9. NET OPERATING LOSS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD EXPIRATION
At
June
30, 2008, the Company has net operating loss, research and experimentation
credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income
tax purposes of approximately $229.1 million, $1.3 million and $56,000,
respectively, which expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2009. The
Company also has a capital loss carryforward of $1.6 million which expires
in
2008. The Company's ability to benefit from certain net operating loss and
tax
credit carryforwards is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
due to a prior ownership change of greater than 50%. Accordingly, approximately
$224.1 million of the $229.1 million of U.S. net operating loss carryforward
is
currently available to offset taxable income that the Company may recognize
in
the future. Of the approximately $224.1 million of net operating losses
available to offset taxable income, approximately $207.1 million does not begin
to expire until 2020 or later, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF
OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
report contains certain forward-looking statements, including information about
or related to our future results, certain projections and business trends.
Assumptions relating to forward-looking statements involve judgments with
respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control.
When
used in this report, the words "estimate," "project," "intend," "believe,"
"expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any or all of the assumptions could
prove inaccurate, and we may not realize the results contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Management decisions are subjective in many respects
and susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based upon actual
experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter
our business strategy or capital expenditure plans that may, in turn, affect
our
results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in
the
forward-looking information included in this report, you should not regard
the
inclusion of such information as our representation that we will achieve any
strategy, objectives or other plans. The forward-looking statements contained
in
this report speak only as of the date of this report, and we have no obligation
to update publicly or revise any of these forward-looking statements.
These
and
other statements, which are not historical facts, are based largely upon our
current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, among others, our planned effort to redeploy our assets and use our
substantial cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to enhance
stockholder value following the sale of substantially all of our electronic
commerce business, which represented substantially all of our revenue generating
operations and related assets, and the risks and uncertainties as set forth
in
"Risk Factors" found in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and described below.
We
cannot
assure you that we will be successful in our efforts to redeploy our assets
or
that any such redeployment will result in Clarus’ future profitability. Our
failure to redeploy our assets could have a material adverse effect on the
market price of our common stock and our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
OVERVIEW
AS
PART OF OUR PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED STRATEGY TO LIMIT OPERATING LOSSES AND ENABLE
THE COMPANY TO REDEPLOY ITS ASSETS AND USE ITS SUBSTANTIAL CASH, CASH
EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES TO ENHANCE STOCKHOLDER VALUE, ON DECEMBER
6, 2002, WE SOLD SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR ELECTRONIC COMMERCE BUSINESS, WHICH
REPRESENTED SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR REVENUE GENERATING OPERATIONS AND RELATED
ASSETS. THE INFORMATION APPEARING BELOW, WHICH RELATES TO PRIOR PERIODS, IS
THEREFORE NOT INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE EXPECTED FOR ANY SUBSEQUENT
PERIODS. RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND
ANY
FUTURE PERIODS PRIOR TO A REDEPLOYMENT OF OUR ASSETS ARE EXPECTED PRIMARILY
TO
REFLECT GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES AND TRANSACTION EXPENSES ASSOCIATED
WITH THE CONTINUING ADMINISTRATION OF THE COMPANY AND ITS EFFORTS TO REDEPLOY
ITS ASSETS.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The
Company's discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based
on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements require management
to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts
of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company continually
evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue
recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets,
impairment of investments, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases
its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from
these
estimates.
The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies include the more
significant estimates and assumptions used by management in the preparation
of
its consolidated financial statements. Our accounting policies are more fully
described in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
10
-
The
Company accounts for its marketable securities under the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Pursuant
to
the provisions of SFAS No. 115, the Company
has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities have been recorded at fair value and related
unrealized gains and losses have been excluded from earnings and are reported
as
a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until
realized.
-
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under the asset
and liability method specified thereunder, deferred taxes are determined based
on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities are offset by deferred tax assets relating
to net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and deductible
temporary differences. Recognition of deferred tax assets is based on
management’s belief that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit
associated with temporary differences and operating and capital loss
carryforwards will be utilized. A valuation allowance is recorded for those
deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the realization
will not occur.
-
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123R”), requiring
recognition of expense related to the fair value of stock option awards. The
Company recognizes the cost of the share-based awards on a straight-line basis
over the requisite service period of the award. Under SFAS 123R, compensation
cost recognized during 2008 and 2007 would include: (a) compensation cost for
all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January
1,
2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based
payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair
value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
SOURCES
OF REVENUE
Until
a
redeployment of the Company's assets occurs, the Company's principal income
will
consist of interest, dividend and other investment income from short-term
investments, which is reported as interest income in the Company's statement
of
operations.
OPERATING
EXPENSES
General
and administrative expense includes salaries and employee benefits, non-cash
equity compensation, rent, insurance, legal, accounting, investment management
fees and other professional fees, state and local non income based taxes, board
of director fees as well as public company expenses such as transfer agent
and
listing fees and expenses.
Transaction
expense consists primarily of professional fees and expenses related to due
diligence, negotiation and documentation of acquisition, financing and related
agreements.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
AND
2007
On
December 6, 2002, the Company completed the disposition of substantially all
its
operating assets, and the Company is now evaluating alternative ways to redeploy
its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities into new businesses. The
discussion below is therefore not meaningful to an understanding of future
revenue, earnings, operations, business or prospects of the Company following
such a redeployment of its assets.
GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General
and administrative expenses increased $354,000, or 39%, to $1,253,000 during
the
quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $899,000 during the quarter ended
June
30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expense for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007, was primarily
attributable to increases in non-cash equity compensation expense, employment
compensation and benefits, investment management fees, professional fees and
travel expenses offset by decreases in franchise and property taxes. General
and
administrative expenses increased $720,000, or 43%, to $2,403,000 during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008, compared to $1,683,000 during the same
period ended June 30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expense
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to increases
in non-cash equity compensation expense, employment compensation and benefits,
investment management fees, other professional fees and travel expenses offset
by decreases in franchise and property taxes. Management believes the Company
will incur a net loss in fiscal 2008 based on our current level of expenses
due
to lower projected investment yields on our investment portfolio. General and
administrative expense includes salaries and employee benefits, non-cash equity
compensation, rent, insurance, legal, accounting, investment management fees
and
other professional fees, state and local non income based taxes, board of
director fees as well as public company expenses such as transfer agent and
listing fees and expenses.
11
TRANSACTION
EXPENSES
Transaction
expenses decreased $8,000, or 100%, to zero during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to $8,000 incurred for the same period ended
June
30, 2007, arising out of an acquisition, negotiation and due diligence process
that terminated without the consummation of the acquisition. Transaction
expenses represent the costs incurred during due diligence and negotiation
of
potential acquisitions, such as legal, accounting, appraisal and other
professional fees and related expenses.
DEPRECIATION
EXPENSE
Depreciation
expense decreased $2,000, or 2%, to $89,000 in the three months ended June
30,
2008, compared to $91,000 in the same period ended June 30, 2007. For the six
months ended June 30, 2008, depreciation expense decreased $3,000, or 2%, to
$178,000, compared to $181,000 in the same period ended June 30, 2007. The
decrease is primarily attributable to less depreciation for office equipment
and
minimal purchase of new fixed assets.
OTHER
EXPENSE
There
was
no other income or expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For
the six months ended June 30, 2008, other income decreased $1,000, or 100%,
to
zero compared to $1,000 in the same period ended June 30, 2007, when the Company
recorded a loss from the disposal of equipment.
INTEREST
INCOME
Interest
income decreased $520,000, or 48%, to $559,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2008, from $1.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Interest income
for
the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, includes $0.5 million and $0.9
million in discount accretion and premium amortization, respectively. The
decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower rates of return on
investments. The weighted average interest rate for our investments for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2008, was 2.60% compared to 5.12% for same
period in 2007.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, interest income decreased $775,000, or
36%,
to $1.4 million from $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, includes
$1.3 million and $1.6 million in discount accretion and premium amortization,
respectively. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower rates
of return that we received on our cash, cash equivalent assets and marketable
securities. The weighted average interest rate for our investments for the
six
months ended June 30, 2008 was 3.20% compared to 5.13% for same period in 2007.
The
current earnings rate as of July 15, 2008 is 2.34%. We expect the current rate
to decline as existing higher yielding investments mature and are invested
at
lower current interest rates.
INCOME
TAXES
As
a
result of the operating losses incurred since the Company's inception, no
provision or benefit for income taxes was recorded during the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased to $16.9 million at June 30,
2008,
from $41.9 million at December 31, 2007, due to repositioning of our investment
portfolio to marketable securities. Marketable securities are investments with
a
longer duration under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. As of June 30, 2008, the weighted average maturity of the
portfolio is 138 days. Marketable securities increased to $69.4 million at
June
30, 2008, from $45.2 million at December 31, 2007. The overall combined decrease
of $0.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is
primarily due to the decrease in interest income and an increase in operating
expenses for the quarter.
Cash
used
by operating activities was approximately $1.8 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to cash used by operating activities of
approximately $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The
increase in cash used by operations was primarily attributable to the Company's
net loss, an increase in discount amortization, interest receivable, prepaids
and other current assets and a decrease in accounts payables and accrued
liabilities offset by an increase in non-cash items.
Cash
used
by investing activities was approximately $23.2 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2008. The cash was used by the purchase of marketable securities
partially offset by the maturity of marketable securities. Cash provided by
investing activities was approximately $13.0 million during the six months
ended
June 30, 2007. The cash was provided primarily by the maturity of marketable
securities partially offset by the purchase of marketable securities. Capital
expenditures were approximately $1,000 for the six-month period ended June
30,
2008, compared to $39,000 for the same period in 2007.
12
There
was
no cash provided by or used in financing activities during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008. Cash provided by financing activities was $0.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The cash provided by financing
activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007, was attributable to
proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
At
June
30, 2008, the Company has net operating loss, research and experimentation
credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income
tax purposes of approximately $229.1 million, $1.3 million and $56,000,
respectively, which expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2009. The
Company also has a capital loss carryforward of $1.6 million which expires
in
2008. The Company's ability to benefit from certain net operating loss and
tax
credit carryforwards is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
due to a prior ownership change of greater than 50%. Accordingly, approximately
$224.1 million of the $229.1 million of U.S. net operating loss carryforward
is
currently available to offset taxable income that the Company may recognize
in
the future. Of the approximately $224.1 million of net operating losses
available to offset taxable income, approximately $207.1 million does not begin
to expire until 2020 or later, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
We
do not
hold derivative financial investments, derivative commodity investments, engage
in foreign currency hedging or other transactions that expose us to material
market risk. Our investment portfolio consists of United States government
and
government agency notes and bonds. The Company has continued to monitor its
investment in U.S. Government Agency securities and has not incurred any losses.
We believe investments in U.S. Government Agency securities are stable and
provide an increased yield over similar duration U.S. Treasury
securities.

4. PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Company's management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors
and Chief Financial Officer, its principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, respectively of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined
in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2008,
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company
is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that
permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation,
the
Company's Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as
of
June 30, 2008 are effective.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting that have come to management’s attention during the second quarter
ended June 30, 2008 evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
The
Company’s investment portfolio consists of short-term, unsecured United States
agency debt that is subject to credit risk.
The
Company’s investment portfolio includes a significant amount of short-term,
unsecured debt issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie
Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). Although
these organizations have been chartered by the United States Congress and are
most commonly referred to as government-sponsored enterprises, neither Fannie
Mae nor Freddie Mac are backed or funded by the U.S. government, nor do the
securities they issue benefit from any explicit government guarantee or
protection. As a result of the subprime mortgage crisis of late 2007 and 2008,
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were adversely affected and in July of 2008 the
United States government took action to prevent the collapse of both
corporations.
While
the
Company continues to monitor the value of its investment portfolio and its
investment in government-sponsored enterprises, we cannot give any assurance
that we will not suffer any future losses to our investment portfolio as a
result of our ownership of government-sponsored enterprises. Any reduction
in
the amount of our investment portfolio may limit our ability to redeploy our
assets and use our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to acquire
an operating business which could have a material adverse effect on the market
price of our common stock and our business, financial condition and results
of
operations.
Except
as
discussed above, there are no material changes to the risk factors disclosed
in
the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which
could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future
results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not
the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be
immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business,
financial condition and/or operating results.
