INTRUSION INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business
We develop, market and support a family of entity identification, regulated information compliance, data privacy protection, data leak prevention and network intrusion prevention/detection products. Our product families include: TraceCop for identity discovery and disclosure, Compliance Commander for regulated information compliance and leak protection and data privacy protection, and Intrusion SecureNet for network intrusion prevention and detection. Our products help protect critical information assets by quickly detecting, protecting, analyzing and reporting attacks or misuse of classified, private and regulated information for government and enterprise networks.
Our TraceCop products include: (1) data bases containing IP addresses which are continually updated and used in the determination of the origination of cyber based attacks or other cyber based crimes; (2) analysis software used for the location of cyber based attacks and (3) data collected relative to the location of the crimes.
We market and distribute our products through a direct sales force to end-users, distributors and system integrators, managed service providers and value-added resellers. Our end-user customers include U.S. federal government entities, banks, credit unions, other financial institutions, foreign government entities and local government entities, hospitals and other healthcare providers, and academic institutions. Essentially, our end-users can be defined as any end-users requiring network security solutions for protecting their mission critical data.
We were organized in Texas in September 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in October 1995. For more than 15 years, we provided local area networking equipment and were known as Optical Data Systems or ODS Networks. On April 17, 2000, we announced plans to sell, or otherwise dispose of, our networking divisions, which included our Essential Communications division and our local area networking assets. On June 1, 2000, we changed our name from ODS Networks, Inc. to Intrusion.com, Inc., and our ticker symbol from ODSI to INTZ to reflect our focus on intrusion prevention and detection solutions, along with information compliance and data privacy protection products. On November 1, 2001, we changed our name from Intrusion.com, Inc. to Intrusion Inc.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1101 East Arapaho Road, Suite 200, Richardson, Texas 75081, and our telephone number is (972) 234-6400. Our website URL is www.intrusion.com. References to we, us, our or Intrusion Inc. refer to Intrusion Inc. and its subsidiaries. Compliance Commander, SecureNet and TraceCop are trademarks of Intrusion Inc.
As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $174,000, down from approximately $554,000 as of December 31, 2008 and a working capital deficit totaling $1.65 million. We used $530,000 of cash in operations in the first quarter 2009 and operating cash outflows may continue in 2009. As of March 31, 2009, in addition to cash and cash equivalents of $174,000, we had $18 thousand in funding available under our $2.5 million line of credit at Silicon Valley Bank, $70,000 available borrowings on our note from G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and $1.5 million funding available from a written commitment to invest up to $1.5 million from G. Ward Paxton. Based on projections of growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, and the borrowings available previously mentioned, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months. We expect to fund our operations through Company profits, our line of credit, borrowings from the Companys CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, will have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. If our operations do not generate positive cash flow in the upcoming year, or if we are not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, we may be unable to implement our business plan, fund our liquidity needs or even continue our operations.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2008 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three month period ending March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included

4. Loan Payable to Officer
On January 30, 2008, we entered into a revolving promissory note to borrow up to $700,000 from G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the note, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow on the loan as needed up to an outstanding principal amount of $700,000 at any date. All outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest were originally due on December 31, 2008 but were extended on March 19, 2009 to mature on March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2009 we had borrowings of $630,000 outstanding under from the note with accrued interest payable of $7,000. On March 20, 2008, we received a written commitment from our Chief Executive Officer to invest up to an additional $1,500,000 in the Company until March 2009, should such funding be required by the Company. This commitment to continue to advance additional funds as needed was extended on November 7, 2008 to mature in March 2010. Amounts the Company borrows under the note and the commitment accrue interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the announced prime rate of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) plus 1% and are unsecured.
5. Line of Credit
On March 29, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) to establish a $1.0 million line of credit with SVB (the 2006 Credit Line). On June 30, 2008, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) with SVB to, among other things, replace the 2006 Credit Line with a new $2.5 million line of credit (the Current Line of Credit). Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including all of our intellectual property. Borrowings under the Current Line of Credit are based on advances (each, an Advance) against certain of our accounts receivable that are approved by SVB (each an Eligible Account). SVB may make an Advance of up to eighty percent (80%) of each Eligible Account, or such other percentage SVB may determine in its sole discretion. Each Advance is subject to a finance charge calculated as a daily rate that is based on a 360-day annual rate of (a) the greater of the prime rate or 5.25%, plus (b) 1.5% or 2.0%, depending on certain qualifying financial factors specified in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. Finance charges are payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance is also subject to a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.25% or 0.5% of all outstanding Advances, depending on certain qualifying financial factors specified in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. The collateral handling fee is payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance must be repaid at the earliest of (a) the date that the Eligible Account related to the Advance is paid, (b) the date the Eligible Account is no longer eligible under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, or (c) the date on which any Adjustment (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) is asserted to the Eligible Account. On June 29, 2009, the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement terminates and all outstanding advances, accrued but unpaid finance charges, outstanding collateral handing fees, and other amounts become due under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and related documents. We have certain non-financial and financial covenants, including a liquidity coverage ratio and a rolling EBITDA computation, as defined in the Loan Agreement. We have no borrowings outstanding under the Current Line of Credit as of March 31, 2009 and had borrowings available of $18,000.
6. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company granted 476,000 and 427,000, respectively, stock options to employees and directors. The Company recognized $17,000 and $5,000, respectively, stock-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Valuation Assumptions
The fair values of employee and director option awards were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility and in part on implied volatility. The expected term considers the contractual term of the option as well as historical exercise and forfeiture behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rates in effect on the grant date for U.S. Treasury instruments with maturities matching the relevant expected term of the award. Options granted to non-employees are valued using the fair market value on each measurement date of the option.
7. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Our common stock equivalents include all common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. The aggregate number of common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are 4,058,737 and 4,248,628, respectively. Our common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted loss per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, as they are antidilutive.
8. Concentrations
Our operations are concentrated in one areasecurity software/entity identification. Sales to the U.S. Government through direct and indirect channels totaled 89.3% of total revenues for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 59.6% of total revenues the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2009 approximately 84.3% of total revenues are attributable to two government customers compared to approximately 56.6% of total revenues attributable to two government customers in the first quarter of 2008. There were no individual commercial customers in the first quarter of 2009 or 2008 that exceeded 10% of total revenues for that quarter. Our similar product and service offerings are not viewed as individual segments, as our management analyzes the business as a whole and expenses are not allocated to each product offering.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the outcome of those matters will have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact.
10. Dividends Payable
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we accrued $16,000 in dividends to the holders of our 5% Preferred Stock, $14,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and $10,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2009, we have $234,000 in accrued and unpaid dividends included in other current liabilities. Delaware law provides that we may only pay dividends out of our capital surplus or, if no surplus is available, out of our net profits for the fiscal year the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. We have not had net profits for the last two fiscal years and did not have sufficient capital surplus, defined as the amount by which our net assets exceed our stated capital, based on par value of our outstanding shares as provided by Delaware law. These dividends continue to accrue on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock, regardless of whether we are legally able to pay them. Because we were unable to pay dividends on our preferred stock, we began accruing an additional late fee penalty of 18% per annum on the unpaid dividends for the Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock. Total penalties accrued during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $3,000. Our CEO and one
8
member of our Board of Directors, who own preferred stock, have waived the late fee penalty so we have recorded approximately $2,000 as contributed capital during the quarter related to these waivers. In addition to this late penalty, the holders of our Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock could elect to present us with written notice of our failure to pay dividends as scheduled, in which case we would have 45 days to cure such a breach. In the event that we failed to cure the breach, the holders of these shares of preferred stock would then have the right to require us to redeem their shares of preferred stock for a cash amount calculated in accordance with their respective certificates of designation. If we were required to redeem all shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock as of April 30, 2009, the aggregate redemption price we would owe would be $2.1 million.
Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations, which we describe in more detail elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the heading Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations, and in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K in Item 1 Description of Business include, but are not limited to:
· |
insufficient cash to operate our business and inability to meet our liquidity requirements; |
|
|
· |
loss of revenues due to the failure of our newer products to achieve market acceptance; |
|
|
· |
our need to continue current revenues levels in order to sustain profitability; |
|
|
· |
concentration of our revenues from U.S. government entities and the possibility of loss of one of these customers and the unique risks associated with government customers; |
|
|
· |
our dependence on sales made through indirect channels; |
|
|
· |
the challenge of selling our products internationally; |
|
|
· |
our dependence on equity or debt financing provided primarily by our Chief Executive Officer in order to meet our cash flow requirements; |
|
|
· |
the effect that payment of accrued dividends on our preferred stock has on our cash resources and the substantial dilution upon the conversion or redemption of our preferred stock and exercise of outstanding warrants; |
|
|
· |
the impact of conversion of preferred stock or exercise of warrants on the price of our common stock; |
|
|
· |
the ability of our preferred stockholders and lenders to hinder additional financing; and |
|
|
· |
the influence that our management and larger stockholders have over actions taken by the company. |
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. These forward-looking statements and other statements made elsewhere in this report are made in reliance on the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any forward-looking statement you read in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. The section below entitled Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations sets forth and incorporates by reference certain factors that could cause actual future results of the Company to differ materially from these statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring, maintenance contracts and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
9
other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We generally recognize product revenue upon shipment or delivery of product. Product revenue includes TraceCop sales of data bases and data base updates. We accrue for estimated warranty costs and sales returns at the time of shipment based on our experience. Revenue from maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized over the contractual period the services are performed, generally one year. There is a risk that technical issues on new products could result in unexpected warranty costs and returns. However, as we migrate to more of a software-based business model, the warranty costs should continue to decline. To the extent that they do decline, our warranty reserve from current sales will decrease. To the extent that our warranty costs exceed our expectations, we will increase our warranty reserve to compensate for the additional expense expected to be incurred. We review these estimates periodically and determine the appropriate reserve percentage. However, to date, warranty costs and sales returns have not been material. Historically, our estimates for these items have not differed materially from actual results. Significant or subjective estimates associated with our revenue recognition policy include our estimate of warranty cost and sales returns.
An insignificant portion of our revenue is related to licensing of our software products. We recognize this revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, SOP 98-9 Modification of 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to certain transactions and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. We defer and recognize maintenance and support revenue over the term of the contract period, which is generally one year.
We generally recognize service revenue upon delivery of the contracted service. Service revenue, primarily including maintenance, training and installation, are recognized upon delivery of the service and typically are unrelated to product sales. These services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered product. To date, training and installation revenue has not been material.
Cash collected in advance of product delivery or services being provided are deferred and recognized when all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Returns
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our receivables are uncollaterized and we expect to continue this policy in the future. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Historically, our estimates for sales returns and doubtful accounts have not differed materially from actual results.
Inventory
We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Historically, our estimates for inventory obsolescence have not differed materially from actual results.

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $0.9 million, compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2008. Product revenues increased $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Increased product revenues are due to an increase in sales of our TraceCop product line. TraceCop revenues were $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0.3 million for the same quarter in 2008. Substantially all of our revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were derived from TraceCop sales. Customer support and maintenance revenue decreased $68 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease was due to the current sales mix with a high concentration of government sales not requiring a maintenance contract.
Concentration of Revenues. Revenues from sales to various U.S. government entities totaled $0.8 million, or 89.3% of revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $0.3 million, or 59.6% of revenues, for the same period in 2008. Although we expect our concentration of revenues to vary among customers in future periods depending upon the timing of certain sales, we anticipate that sales to government customers will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues in future periods. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers which could adversely affect our revenues, including, without limitation, potential disruption to appropriation and spending patterns and the governments reservation of the right to cancel contracts and purchase orders for its convenience. Although we do not anticipate that any of our
11
revenues with government customers will be renegotiated, a large number of cancelled or renegotiated government orders could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Currently, we are not aware of any proposed cancellation or renegotiation of any of our existing arrangements with government entities and, historically, government entities have not cancelled or renegotiated orders which had a material adverse effect on our business.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $0.6 million or 67.7% of net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0.3 million or 61.2% of net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Gross profit on product revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, trended to 64.4% from 41.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 mainly due to an increase in net revenues and/or decreases in fixed costs. Gross profit on customer support and maintenance revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, trended to 94.5% from 96.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues is impacted by several factors, including shifts in product mix, changes in channels of distribution, revenue volume and pricing strategies.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to a planned reduction in sales and marketing personnel and related expenses. Sales and marketing expenses may vary in the future. However, we believe that these costs will remain relatively constant through the end of 2009, although expenses may be increased if we achieve increases in revenue.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased to $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. Research and development expenses decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008 primarily due to shifts from research and development expenses to cost of sales in relation to engineering contract jobs. Research and development expenses may vary in the future; however, we believe that these costs will remain relatively constant through the end of 2009, although expenses may be increased if we achieve increases in revenue.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses remained constant at $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. It is expected that general and administrative expenses will remain relatively constant throughout the remainder of 2009, although expenses may be increased if we achieve increases in revenue.
Interest. Net interest expense increased to $12 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $6 thousand interest expense for the same period in 2008. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in interest expenses related to borrowings from a loan payable to an officer and penalty interest expense accrued for preferred shareholders. Net interest expense may vary in the future based on our level of borrowing, which will be affected by our cash flow, operating income and capital expenditures.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity at March 31, 2009 is approximately $ 174 thousand of cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency of $1.65 million compared to a $1.3 million deficiency at March 31, 2008.
Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $0.5 million, primarily due to a net loss of $322 thousand, a decrease in deferred revenue of $340 thousand, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $42 thousand, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $5 thousand. This cash decrease was partially offset by depreciation expense of $17 thousand, stock-based compensation of $17 thousand, a decrease in accounts receivable of $141 thousand, and a decrease in inventories of $4 thousand. Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0.9 million, primarily due to a net loss of $0.9 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $53 thousand and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $33 thousand. This cash decrease was partially offset by depreciation expense of $12 thousand, stock-based compensation of $5 thousand, a decrease in inventories of $24 thousand, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $11 thousand, and an increase in deferred revenue of $21 thousand. Future fluctuations in inventory balances, accounts receivable and accounts payable will be dependent upon several factors, including, but not limited to, quarterly sales, our strategy in building inventory in advance of receiving orders from customers, and the accuracy of our forecasts of product demand and component requirements.
Cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $150 thousand, primarily consisting of the proceeds from a promissory note from our Chief Executive Officer, G. Ward Paxton, compared to cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $0.6 million, primarily consisting of the proceeds from the issuance of a promissory note for $0.7 million and payments on the line of credit of $86 thousand.
At March 31, 2009, the Company did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company funded its operations through the use of cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings of $150 thousand from our CEO, G. Ward Paxton.

On March 29, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) to establish a $1.0 million line of credit with SVB (the 2006 Credit Line). On June 30, 2008, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) with SVB to, among other things, replace the 2006 Credit Line with a new $2.5 million line of credit (the Current Line of Credit). Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including all of our intellectual property. Borrowings under the Current Line of Credit are based on advances (each, an Advance) against certain of our accounts receivable that are approved by SVB (each an Eligible Account). SVB may make an Advance of up to eighty percent (80%) of each Eligible Account, or such other percentage SVB may determine in its sole discretion. Each Advance is subject to a finance charge calculated as a daily rate that is based on a 360-day annual rate of (a) the greater of the prime rate or 5.25%, plus (b) 1.5% or 2.0%, depending on certain qualifying financial factors specified in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. Finance charges are payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance is also subject to a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.25% or 0.5% of all outstanding Advances, depending on certain qualifying financial factors specified in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. The collateral handling fee is payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance must be repaid at the earliest of (a) the date that the Eligible Account related to the Advance is paid, (b) the date the Eligible Account is no longer eligible under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, or (c) the date on which any Adjustment (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) is asserted to the Eligible Account. On June 29, 2009, the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement terminates and all outstanding advances, accrued but unpaid finance charges, outstanding collateral handing fees, and other amounts become due under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and related documents. We have certain non-financial and financial covenants, including a liquidity coverage ratio and a rolling EBITDA computation, as defined in the Loan Agreement. We have no borrowings outstanding under the Current Line of Credit as of March 31, 2009 and had borrowings available of $18 thousand.
As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $174,000, down from approximately $554,000 as of December 31, 2008 and a working capital deficit totaling $1.65 million. We used $530,000 of cash in operations in the first quarter 2009 and operating cash outflows may continue in 2009. If we were required to redeem all shares of our Series 2 preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock, the aggregate redemption price would be approximately $2.1 million. As of March 31, 2009, in addition to cash and cash equivalents of $174,000, we had $18 thousand in funding available under our $2.5 million line of credit at Silicon Valley Bank, $70,000 available borrowings on our note from G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and $1.5 million funding available from a written commitment to invest up to $1.5 million from G. Ward Paxton. Based on projections of growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, and the borrowings available previously mentioned, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months. We expect to fund our operations through Company profits, our line of credit, borrowings from the Companys CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, will have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. If our operations do not generate positive cash flow in the upcoming year, or if we are not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, we may be unable to implement our business plan, fund our liquidity needs or even continue our operations.
We may explore the possible acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our existing business. We are continuing to identify and prioritize additional security technologies, which we may wish to develop, either internally or through the licensing, or acquisition of products from third parties. While we may engage from time to time in discussions with respect to potential acquisitions, there can be no assurances that any such acquisitions will be made or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business. In order to finance such acquisitions and working capital it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms, which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders.
Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009 and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
13
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the outcome of those matters will have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact.
Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations
We are providing the following information regarding changes that have occurred to previously disclosed risk factors from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition to the other information set forth below and elsewhere in this report, you should consider the factors discussed under the heading Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The risks described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Our cash, cash equivalents, and investments decreased from $554 thousand at December 31, 2008 to $ 176 thousand at March 31, 2009. If net cash outflows continue, we may not have sufficient cash to operate our business and may not be able to maintain certain liquidity requirements. Additional debt and equity offerings to fund future operations may not be available and, if available, may significantly dilute the value of our currently outstanding common stock.
As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $174,000, down from approximately $554,000 as of December 31, 2008 and a working capital deficit totaling $1.65 million. We used $530,000 of cash in operations in the first quarter 2009 and operating cash outflows may continue in 2009. As of March 31, 2009, in addition to cash and cash equivalents of $174,000, we had $18 thousand in funding available under our $2.5 million line of credit at Silicon Valley Bank, $70,000 available borrowings on our note from G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and $1.5 million funding available from a written commitment to invest up to $1.5 million from G. Ward Paxton. Based on projections of growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, and the borrowings available previously mentioned, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months. We expect to fund our operations through Company profits, our line of credit, borrowings from the Companys CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, will have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. If our operations do not generate positive cash flow in the upcoming year, or if we are not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, we may be unable to implement our business plan, fund our liquidity needs or even continue our operations.
We had a net loss of $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and have an accumulated deficit of $58.6 million as of March 31, 2009. To achieve profitability, we must continue to generate greater revenue levels.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we incurred a net loss of $0.3 million and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $58.6 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $58.3 million as of March 31, 2008. We need to generate and sustain substantially greater revenues from the sales of our products if we are to achieve profitability. If we are unable to achieve these greater revenues, our losses will continue for the near term and possibly longer, and we may never achieve or sustain profitability or generate positive cash flow from operations.
If our newer products do not achieve market acceptance, our revenues may decline.
Our new entity identification products, regulated information compliance systems and network security products have only been in the market place for a limited period of time and may have longer sales cycles than our previous products. Accordingly, we may not achieve the meaningful revenue growth needed to sustain operations. We can provide no assurances that sales of our newer products will continue to grow or generate sufficient revenues to sustain our business. If we are unable to recognize revenues due to longer sales cycles or other problems, our results of operations will be adversely affected, perhaps materially.
14
We have not yet received broad market acceptance for our newer products. We cannot assure you that our present or future products will achieve market acceptance on a sustained basis. In order to achieve market acceptance and achieve future revenue growth, we must introduce complementary security products, incorporate new technologies into our existing product lines and design, develop and successfully commercialize higher performance products in a timely manner. We cannot assure you that we will be able to offer new or complementary products that gain market acceptance quickly enough to avoid decreased revenues during current or future product introductions or transitions.
A large percentage of our revenues are received from U.S. government entities, and the loss of one of these customers could reduce our revenues and materially harm our business and prospects.
A large percentage of our revenues result from sales to U.S. government entities. If we were to lose one or more of these key relationships, our revenues could decline and our business and prospects may be materially harmed. We expect that even if we are successful in developing relationships with non-governmental customers, our revenues will continue to be concentrated among government entities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, sales to U.S. government entities collectively accounted for 89.3% of our revenues, compared to 59.6% of our revenues as of March 31, 2008. The loss of any of these key relationships may send a negative message to other U.S. government entities or non-governmental customers concerning our product offering. We cannot assure you that U.S. government entities will be customers of ours in future periods or that we will be able to diversify our customer portfolio to adequately mitigate the risk of loss of any of these customers.
Government customers involve unique risks, which could adversely impact our revenues.
We expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from U.S. government customers in the future. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers, including potential disruption due to appropriation and spending patterns, delays in approving a federal budget and the governments right to cancel contracts and purchase orders for its convenience. General political and economic conditions, which we cannot accurately predict, directly and indirectly may affect the quantity and allocation of expenditures by federal departments. In addition, obtaining government contracts may involve long purchase and payment cycles, competitive bidding, qualification requirements, delays or changes in funding, budgetary constraints, political agendas, extensive specification development and price negotiations and milestone requirements. Each government entity also maintains its own rules and regulations with which we must comply and which can vary significantly among departments. As a result, cutbacks or re-allocations in the federal budget or losses of government sales due to other factors could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.
We are highly dependent on sales made through indirect channels, the loss of which would materially adversely affect our operations.
We derived 43.9% of revenue in the first quarter of 2009 through indirect channels of mainly government resellers, compared to 16.2% of our revenues as of March 31, 2008. We must expand our sales through these indirect channels in order to increase our revenues. We cannot assure you that our products will gain market acceptance in these indirect sales channels or that sales through these indirect sales channels will increase our revenues. Further, many of our competitors are also trying to sell their products through these indirect sales channels, which could result in lower prices and reduced profit margins for sales of our products.
The payment of accrued dividends on our preferred stock may strain our cash resources.
On March 25, 2004, we completed a $5,000,000 private placement pursuant to which we issued 1,000,000 shares of our 5% Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series 1 Preferred Stock) and warrants to acquire 556,619 shares of our common stock. The conversion price for the Series 1 Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the warrants is $3.144 per share. As of April 30, 2009, there were 259,696 shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock outstanding, representing approximately 413,003 shares of common stock upon conversion.
On March 28, 2005, we completed a $2,663,000 private placement pursuant to which we issued 1,065,200 shares of our Series 2 5% Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series 2 Preferred Stock) and warrants to acquire 532,600 shares of our common stock. The conversion price for the Series 2 Preferred Stock is $2.50 per share and the exercise price of the warrants is $2.77 per share. As of April 30, 2009, there were 460,000 shares of the Series 2 Preferred Stock outstanding, representing 460,000 shares of common stock upon conversion.
On December 2, 2005, we completed a $1,230,843 private placement pursuant to which we issued 564,607 shares of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock (the Series 3 Preferred Stock) and warrants to acquire 282,306 shares of our common stock. The preferred shares may be converted into 564,607 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.18 per share, and the warrants may be exercised at a price of $0.40 per share during the five-year period commencing on June 2, 2006.

We have been unable to pay scheduled dividends on shares of our preferred stock, and the continued failure to make such payments has resulted in late penalty payments and could potentially result in additional consequences, some of them material.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we accrued $16,000 in dividends to the holders of our 5% Preferred Stock, $14,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and $10,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock. At March 31, 2009, we have dividends accrued of $97,000 related to our 5% Preferred Stock, $81,000 related to our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and $56,000 related to our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock. Delaware law provides that we may only pay dividends out of our capital surplus or, if no surplus is available, out of our net profits for the fiscal year the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. We have not had net profits for the last two fiscal years and as of the quarter ended March 31, 2009, did not have sufficient capital surplus, defined as the amount by which our net assets exceed our stated capital, based on par value of our outstanding shares as provided by Delaware law. We cannot assure you that our net assets will exceed our stated capital or that we will have net profits in order to pay these dividends in the future. These dividends continue to accrue on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock, regardless of whether we are legally able to pay them. Because we were unable to pay dividends on our preferred stock, we began accruing an additional late fee penalty of 18% per annum on the unpaid dividends for the Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock. Our CEO and outside board member that are invested in Series 2 and Series 3 Preferred Stock have waived the late fee penalty. In addition to this late penalty, the holders of our Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock could elect to present us with written notice of our failure to pay dividends as scheduled, in which case we would have 45 days to cure such a breach. In the event that we failed to cure the breach, the holders of these shares of preferred stock would then have the right to require us to redeem their shares of preferred stock for a cash amount calculated in accordance with their respective certificates of designation. If we were required to redeem all shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock as of April 30, 2009, the aggregate redemption price we would owe would be $2.1 million.
You will experience substantial dilution upon the conversion or redemption of the shares of preferred stock and the exercise of warrants that we issued in our recent private placements or in the event we raise additional funds through the issuance of new shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock.
On April 30, 2009, we had 11,638,405 shares of common stock outstanding. Upon conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock and exercise of the outstanding warrants, we will have 13,768,291 shares of common stock outstanding, approximately a 25.0% increase in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding.
Further, the occurrence of certain events could entitle holders of our Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock to require us to redeem their shares for a certain number of shares of our common stock. Assuming (i) we have paid all liquidated damages and other amounts to the holders, (ii) incurred accrued but unpaid dividends on April 30, 2009 of $137,000, (iii) a volume weighted average price of $0.23, which was the ten-day volume weighted average closing price of our common stock on April 30, 2009, and (iv) our 11,638,405 shares of common stock outstanding on April 30, 2009, upon exercise of their redemption right by the holders of the Series 3 Preferred Stock and the Series 2 Preferred Stock, we would be obligated to issue approximately 15,295,042 shares of our common stock. This would represent an increase of approximately 131% in the number of shares of our common stock as of April 30, 2009.
In addition, management may issue additional shares of common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock in order to finance our continuing operations. Any future issuances of such securities would have additional dilutive effects on the existing holders of our Common Stock.
The conversion of preferred stock or exercise of warrants we issued in the private placements may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
The holders of the shares of our 5% Preferred Stock and warrants we issued in connection with the sale of our 5% Preferred Stock may freely convert their shares of preferred stock and exercise their warrants and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of April 30, 2009, 740,304 shares of our 5% Preferred Stock had converted into 1,177,327 shares of common stock.
The holders of the shares of Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and warrants we issued in connection with the sale of our Series 2 Preferred Stock may freely convert their shares of preferred stock and exercise their warrants and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of April 30, 2009, 605,200 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock had converted into 605,200 shares of common stock.
The holders of the shares of Series 3 5% Preferred Stock and warrants we issued in connection with the sale of our Series 3 Preferred Stock, may freely convert their shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock and exercise their warrants and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of April 30, 2009, 210,551 shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock had converted into 210,551 shares of common stock.

For the four weeks ended on April 30, 2009, the average daily trading volume of our common stock on The OTCBB was 869 shares. Consequently, if holders of preferred stock or warrants elect to convert their remaining shares or exercise their warrants and sell a material amount of their underlying shares of common stock on the open market, the increase in selling activity could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, these sales, or the potential for these sales, could encourage short sales, causing additional downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.
Certain rights of the holders of our preferred stock and the terms of our secured credit line may hinder our ability to raise additional financing.
Under the terms of our preferred stock instruments, we cannot issue shares of capital stock with rights senior to those of our existing 5% Preferred Stock, Series 2 5% Preferred Stock or Series 3 5% Preferred Stock without the approval of at least a majority of the holders of our 5% Preferred Stock, all of the holders of our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock, and holders of at least 75% of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock voting or acting as separate classes. We also cannot incur certain indebtedness without the approval of at least a majority of the holders of each class of our Preferred Stock. Furthermore, the terms of our secured credit line with Silicon Valley Bank include covenants which restrict our ability to incur additional debt and pay certain dividends. The combination of these provisions could hinder or delay our ability to raise additional debt or equity financing.
Our management and larger stockholders exercise significant control over our company and have the ability to approve or take actions that may be adverse to your interests.
As of April 30, 2009, our executive officers, directors and preferred stockholders beneficially own approximately 39% of our voting power. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, which could delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us. These stockholders may use their influence to approve or take actions that may be adverse to your interests. Further, we contemplate the possible issuance of shares of our Common Stock or of securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our Common Stock in the future by our Chief Executive Officer. Any such issuance will increase the percentage of stock our Chief Executive Officer and our management group beneficially holds.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we accrued 16,000 in dividends to the holders of our 5% Preferred Stock, $14,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and $10,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock. At March 31, 2009, we have dividends accrued of $97,000 related to our 5% Preferred Stock, $81,000 related to our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and $56,000 related to our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock. Delaware law provides that we may only pay dividends out of our capital surplus or, if no surplus is available, out of our net profits for the fiscal year the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. We have not had net profits for the last two fiscal years and as of the quarter ended March 31, 2009, did not have sufficient capital surplus, defined as the amount by which our net assets exceed our stated capital, based on par value of our outstanding shares as provided by Delaware law. We cannot assure you that our net assets will exceed our stated capital or that we will have net profits in order to pay these dividends in the future. These dividends continue to accrue on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock, regardless of whether we are legally able to pay them. Because we were unable to pay dividends on our preferred stock, we began accruing an additional late fee penalty of 18% per annum on the unpaid dividends for the Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock. Our CEO and outside board member that are invested in Series 2 and Series 3 Preferred Stock have waived the late fee penalty.
