PART I Overview Glowpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLOW) a Delaware corporation, is the leading broadcast quality, IP-based video communications service provider. We operate the Glowpoint network, a video communications service featuring broadcast quality images with telephony-like reliability, features and ease-of-use. The Glowpoint network is the industry’s only carrier-grade, broadcast-quality IP (Internet Protocol) based subscriber network designed and managed exclusively for video communications. The Glowpoint network spans 14 points of presence (POPs), across 4 continents, enabling customers to connect to any videoconferencing user - no matter their service, technology and equipment - across the United States, as well as to virtually any major city around the world. Since launching our subscription service in late 2000, we have carried over 25 million minutes of video calls for more than 600 different customers in over 5,000 locations. From 2000 to 2003, we were a division of Wire One Technologies Inc., or Wire One, a leading provider of video communication video systems from leading manufacturers. Wire One was formed in May 2000 by the merger of All Communications Corporation and View Tech, Inc. After steady growth of the IP-based network service business through early 2003, we determined that separating the Glowpoint video communication business from the Wire One equipment business would create larger distribution channels for Glowpoint, allow for more aggressive product development and provide us with the opportunity to develop business relationships based solely on the objective of expanding our product offering and increasing the size of our customer base. On September 23, 2003, we completed the sale of the videoconferencing equipment business and officially changed our corporate name from Wire One Technologies, Inc. to Glowpoint, Inc., in order to focus solely on growing the Glowpoint video communications service. Since 2003, we have been exclusively focused on significantly improving the ease-of-use, cost-effectiveness, functionalities and quality of video communication services in order to make it an integral communications tool, as easy and spontaneous as using the telephone – with the power of face-to-face communications. |
| Industry Overview |
|
Videoconferencing has been a niche technology and application for over a decade. The initial rollout of videoconferencing over IP, which was intended to replace legacy Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) technology, was a first step towards improving the quality and reducing the cost of videoconferencing. Since it was first introduced, IP-based videoconferencing has made notable progress in lowering service and hardware costs and increasing ease-of-use functionality. IP-based videoconferencing, according to a 2003 research report issued by Frost & Sullivan, is emerging as a powerful business collaboration tool offering significant opportunities for service providers and cost savings to enterprises. Videoconferencing services with value add-ons, such as web-based portals, centralized management and monitoring and seamless connectivity between disparate endpoints and networks will continuously expand the end-user base. While most major service providers have introduced IP-based videoconferencing services, widespread adoption of IP videoconferencing has been hindered by (1) large service providers’ reluctance to fully commit to migrating to IP-based service, which would cannibalize their ISDN businesses, and (2) corporate information technology managers’ fear that running video applications over the same network on which data is transmitted would slow down critical data transfer. To overcome these challenges, many IP-based service providers are continuing to improve and augment their existing services with features and services far superior to ISDN-based solutions, thus promoting the migration from ISDN to IP. In addition, industry participants have designed innovative solutions to resolve Quality of Service, or QoS, issues, including building a network that is exclusively dedicated to video communications. Evolution of IP-Based Videoconferencing. Prior to 1996, video transmitted over IP networks was either experimental or proprietary because there were no standards for transmitting video and the networks could not support the real-time characteristics for delay and jitter that audio and video require. Beginning in 2000, a number of network service providers began capitalizing on the improvements in network data management and control by offering IP voice and video services that favorably competed with ISDN-based video offerings. Relying on several |

|
complementary technologies built into the latest network routers, switches and last-mile technologies, several companies began offering IP-based services designed primarily for intra-company video communications. Today, IP videoconferencing is usually marketed as having four major advantages over ISDN videoconferencing services: (1) less expensive, (2) more reliable than ISDN conferencing, (3) delivery of better audio and video quality and (4) advanced services and features unavailable on ISDN based videoconferencing. IP-based videoconferencing also provides significant management benefits, including constant connection to the packet-switched network. This constant connectivity allows these systems to be remotely controlled and managed from a central location. Large-scale conferencing environments often use an IP-based product, called a gatekeeper, to control and track the usage of their videoconferencing systems, enabling improved measurement of return on investment and convenient billing mechanisms. Market Movement to IP. Industry statistics indicate the movement to IP-based video communications has increased rapidly. A survey of resellers conducted by Wainhouse Research indicates that 20% of median reseller equipment was installed in an IP environment. Furthermore, median IP related services represent 15% of service revenue. These same resellers also reported that 38% of the group videoconferencing units they sold went into IP installations. The implication is that a significant number of less expensive group videoconferencing systems are being sold, and they are being installed in IP video deployments. Wainhouse Research found that cost is the primary IP video adoption driver. Companies tend to transition from ISDN to IP because of the lower cost of transmitting video communications over an IP-based network. Need for Dedicated Network. Despite the fact that many corporate entities already have private networks that are theoretically capable of supporting IP video communications, most are reluctant to run a video application over the same network that supports their enterprise data and other applications. Among other concerns, the video communications applications would be required to share bandwidth with data applications (for example, e-mail and file transfers) on a common network. Allocating enough bandwidth in a corporate local area network or Intranet to handle real-time transmission of sounds and images, in addition to data applications, is difficult and can significantly impede overall network performance. In addition, most businesses already find it difficult to effectively maintain and manage existing applications because of the shortage of information technology and network personnel. As a result, businesses increasingly require a solution employing a network dedicated to video, which enables them to manage video communications, isolating it from other applications and existing communications infrastructure. An effective video network must also be easily scalable in much the same way that a company can simply add more phone lines as its employee base and operations grow. Moreover, widespread adoption by both enterprise and consumer users requires a video communications solution that provides the same reliability as public telephone service. We believe that there exists a significant opportunity to provide an IP-based video communications solution that is as scalable, dependable and, ultimately, as commonplace as voice telephony. Services and Features Glowpoint offers customers a comprehensive portfolio of video communications services, including video-conferencing, managed bridging conferencing services, Glowpoint enabling and “white” labeling services, professional services and managed webcasting services. Additionally, Glowpoint offers a wide array of unique features that enhance all of these service offerings by allowing customers to make broadcast quality video conferencing calls that are as easy, spontaneous and reliable as using a standard telephone. Videoconferencing. Our videoconferencing service is focused primarily on driving revenue through our flagship “All You Can See” unlimited video calling plan subscription offering. We offer five separate unlimited video calling plans, with standard pricing ranging from $299 (256Kbps), $499 (512Kbps) to $1,099 (1280 Kbps) per month based on connectivity bandwidth. We also provide custom plans for higher bandwidth needs. Through our Network Services group, customers may also purchase and procure ISDN connectivity based on applicable needs. Each “All You Can See” unlimited video call plan subscription comes with a regular telephone number, which allows users to make and receive calls without special codes or IP addresses. Our customers can also receive audio calls from colleagues through our video communications network. Each subscriber has a unique, easy-to-use access code that makes videoconference calling spontaneous. Much like telephone conference calls with a participant dial-in number and security code, our bridging-on-demand feature allows callers to dial into a subscribers’ pre-assigned number whether or not the participant is also on our video communications network. |

Sales and Marketing We market and sell our services to a broad base of business sectors including commercial, government, medical, legal, education and broadcasting through both direct and indirect sales channels. The divestiture of the Wire One equipment business in 2003 has allowed us to expand and diversify these distribution partners which now also include leading videoconferencing manufacturers such as Sony and Tandberg and international communication providers such as I-Vision in Australia. These relationships have not only expanded our sales distribution network and revenue streams, but have also created new, “disruptive” distribution opportunities including co-branded, Glowpoint enabling and white-labeling services. We continue to diversify our lead generation and sales efforts by integrating traditional reseller channels with aggressive internal lead generation programs and vertical category focused marketing and promotional efforts. No matter the lead generation, sales or distribution channel, our goal is to provide all with a world-class service offering, sales and collateral materials, and training and management tools to reduce barriers and increase our return on investment against our sales, marketing and promotional efforts. Customers We have a stable, growing subscriber base of over 325 customers ranging from Fortune 500 companies to federal, state and municipal government entities to business and legal services firms to non-profit organizations. Vertical market segmentation among our current customers is as follows: 33% corporate, 18% technical, 8% finance, 5% education, 9% legal, 4% medical and 18% government (local and federal) and 5% non-profit. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of our revenues or accounts receivable. Technology To provide customers the Glowpoint video communications service, we have contracted with numerous network providers for backbone circuits and collocation facilities. Our primary vendors are Qwest and MCI for the backbone and Equinix for collocation facilities. We have also contracted with a number of “last mile” providers in the US and abroad to deliver circuits to our customers. In the U.S., Covad Communications and New Edge are our primary DSL providers with Qwest and MCI providing T1 services. Our goal is to partner with carriers who can provide dedicated broadband access to our network using either digital subscriber lines (DSL), or dedicated 1.5 Mbps (T1) or 45 Mbps (T3) lines. Products manufactured by most leading IP video communications and video networking equipment suppliers, including Sony, Polycom, Tandberg, Radvision and Cisco Systems, are compatible with our video communications service. We employ a proprietary network architecture consisting of state-of-the-art equipment co-located at Equinix, Savvis and Switch and Data collocation centers across the country, connected by multiple dedicated high-speed DS3 circuits. The sites, each a Glowpoint POP, are connected in a ring with strategic mesh points, which virtually eliminates the risk of a single point of failure and provides industry-leading throughput, scalability and mission-critical resiliency. All equipment on the network complies with current H.323 (IP) and SIP standards. Our network architecture was specially designed for the efficient and cost-effective delivery of feature-rich video content. The network boasts a fully deployed and sophisticated gatekeeper infrastructure that can support thousands of video endpoints with redundancy. The design enables us to provide a unique set of value-added services such as an exclusive call detail-recording (CDR) feature that allows for billing on a call-by-call basis for point-to-point, gateway and multipoint calls. Network IP providers would have to install video-specific gatekeeper technology throughout their networks to provide the additional functionality necessary to provide a similar service capability. The sheer volume of traffic carried by the major carriers would make such a project enormously expensive, and, most likely, cost prohibitive. We have also developed a specialized configuration of software, hardware and global positioning technology that enables us to accurately monitor jitter, packet loss and latency, and maximize overall network performance. With origins in videoconferencing equipment sales and service, we have a broad understanding of the unique demands placed on a network by a videoconferencing application. Large-carrier IP networks were simply not designed for videoconferencing. Unlike a standard data application, video applications immediately expose network performance limitations. This need for quality and reliability prompted us to develop a parallel network exclusively dedicated to videoconferencing applications, but designed using standard network concepts and methodologies. We |

|
also understand that a network alone would not offer a sustainable competitive advantage. Accordingly, we developed proprietary software and a hardware-based service offering that leveraged our dedicated network architecture, and enabled us to offer a superior quality, yet easy-to-use system. In addition to the billing and reporting capabilities discussed above, other features and services include operator assistance, call forwarding, unassisted incoming and outgoing gateway calling, bridging-on-demand meeting rooms, web-based scheduling, LDAP authentication services, firewall transport, customer information center, data collection and statistical analysis tools. We developed our service to offer a unique set of network capabilities, services and features that are very difficult for competitors to match. |
| Glowpoint Solution |
|
Our video communications network provides customers with a high-quality platform for video communications over IP and related applications. Our service offers subscribers substantially reduced transmission costs and superior video communications quality, remote management of all videoconferencing endpoints utilizing simple network management protocol, or SNMP, gateway services to ISDN-based video communications equipment, video streaming and store-and-forward applications from our network operations center, or NOC. Our network allows our customers to connect to virtually everywhere across the country and around the globe and to users whether or not they are on our network. Our service is superior to other videoconferencing services because it is the only service focused on three key factors that are essential to successful video communications: network architecture, network management applications and hardware interoperability. Network Architecture. Our network is a secure, state-of-the-art multiple protocol layer switching backbone with the critical redundancy and reliability businesses demand for their critical applications. Our network is built as a ring with mesh points to provide full redundancy on the backbone. Each Glowpoint POP is built with redundant equipment and circuits, allowing the network to achieve sub-second failover times and 99.99% availability. We operate 14 POPs, 10 in the U.S. and one each at facilities in Toronto, Canada; London, England; San Juan, Puerto Rico and Tokyo, Japan. We offer the industry’s most aggressive service level agreement (SLA) with a 99.99% QoS commitment. Making a video call to a location not on our network is as simple as dialing the video number, including those video numbers using old ISDN technology. Complicated access codes are not required because the intelligence built into our network makes the complex connections invisible. We are currently the only service provider to offer unassisted incoming and outgoing gateway services. Our network supports SDSL, HDSL, Frac T1, DS3, Sonet, ATM and Gigabit Ethernet options. Our network also supports H.323, H.320, and SIP. We peer with multiple carriers so users can connect to users on any network, including the public internet. Network Management Applications. We have developed pioneering video network management tools to provide a world-class customer experience. Some of our patent-pending applications include: |
| • | “000” video operator service - users can simply dial “000” to connect to a live
Glowpoint network operator. | |
| • | unassisted gateway calling - allows users to reach both Glowpoint network and non-Glowpoint network
subscribers without any complicated dialing instructions. | |
| • | least-cost international routing - our intelligent network selects the least expensive option for international
calls, resulting in cost savings, even on calls to ISDN users. | |
| • | bridging-on-demand - allows users to conduct a spontaneous conference call, including both video and
audio participants. |
|
Hardware Interoperability. We continually test H.323 and SIP compliant equipment in the network. Our certification program was designed to provide us with the opportunity to test and assess new equipment, options and configurations for use throughout the network. The program sets strict standards for equipment performance at several levels. Customers can be assured that Glowpoint certified products conform to the highest standards of H.323 compliancy as well as interoperability with other leading manufacturers of similar products. Our certification team has created a comprehensive test and evaluation methodology requiring that each manufacturer’s class of H.323 video communications equipment meet or exceed performance, reliability and interoperability levels in the areas of video, audio, data, feature and capability set. Leading equipment manufacturers like Polycom, Tandberg, Sony and Radvision consult us in an effort to gather technical feedback and certification to their products. |
5 |
| Network Operations Center |
|
We maintain a state-of-the-art network operations center (NOC) at our headquarters from which we monitor the operations of our network on a 24x7 basis. The NOC’s primary functions are to monitor the network, manage and support all backbone equipment, provide usage information for billing, provide utilization data for capacity planning and provide value-added customer services. Only usage information and authentication packets, rather than actual video communications traffic, pass through the NOC. Technology in the NOC includes gatekeepers, routers and switches, servers, firewalls and load-balancing devices. The NOC uses redundant circuits to connect directly to our backbone. |
| Research and Development |
|
As of December 31, 2004, we employed a staff of 10 software and hardware engineers who evaluate, test and develop proprietary applications. The costs of this team of engineers totaled approximately $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. To augment these resources, we engage independent consultants from time-to-time. We expect that we will continue to commit resources to research and development in the future to further develop our proprietary network solution. |
| Intellectual Property |
|
During the development of various aspects of our network, we developed applications and services that previously were not available. As a result, we have developed a significant stream of intellectual property, some of which have already been submitted for U.S. patent protection. We anticipate additional submissions in the future. To date, the following intellectual property has been submitted for patent protection: |
| 1. | Glowpoint network architecture (how we built the network to support video over IP). | |
| 2. | Dial 000 operator services; | |
| 3. | Billing/call detail gathering and processing including the creation of a video centric invoice; | |
| 4. | Automated gateway routing incoming and outgoing; | |
| 5. | Video specific SLA polling and performance gathering; and | |
| 6. | Service provider firewall traversal (VTS) process for video over IP. |
|
We do not know whether any patent applications previously submitted will be approved, whether patents will be issued from patent applications which we may pursue or whether the scope of any patents issued will be sufficiently broad to protect what we consider to be proprietary technologies or processes. Competitors may successfully challenge the validity and or scope of any such patents and or our trademarks. To distinguish our service offerings from those of our competitors, we have obtained certain trademarks and trade names for our services, and we maintain certain advertising programs with industry organizations and standards committees to promote our brands. We also protect certain details about our processes, services and strategies as trade secrets, keeping confidential the information that we believe provides us with a competitive advantage. We have ongoing programs designed to maintain the confidentiality of such information. We expect to protect our services and processes by asserting our intellectual property rights where appropriate and prudent. We will also obtain patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights used in connection with our business when practicable and appropriate. Employees As of December 31, 2004, we had 85 full-time employees. Of these employees, 20 are involved in engineering and development, 16 in customer service, 12 in providing network support, 17 in sales and marketing and 20 in corporate functions. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We believe that our employee relations are good. |
6 |
|
Competition We compete primarily with providers of video communications transport services, including AT&T, MCI, Sprint and some of the regional Bell operating companies and carriers. In the future, competition may increase from new and existing telecommunications services providers, which may include certain of our network providers, many of which have greater financial resources than we do. We compete primarily on the basis of our: |
| • | sole focus on the video communications industry; | |
| • | breadth of service offerings; | |
| • | nationwide presence; | |
| • | technical expertise; | |
| • | knowledgeable sales, service and training personnel; and | |
| • | commitment to customer service and support. |

Overview We provide comprehensive feature-rich video communications services with telephone-like reliability and ease-of-use on the industry’s only carrier-grade IP based subscriber network that is designed exclusively for video communications. Our network spans 14 points of presence (POPs) across three continents and carries on average over 20,000 video calls per month, enabling users to connect across the United States, as well as to virtually any business center around the world. Since launching our subscription service in late 2000, the Glowpoint network has carried over 25 million minutes of video on behalf of over 600 customers in over 5,000 locations. The growth of subscriptions was fairly steady through early 2003, when we determined that separating our video communications service from the equipment sales side of the business would open up a much larger distribution channel for our video communications service. At the time of the sale, we changed our name from Wire One Technologies, Inc. to Glowpoint, Inc. In September 2003, we completed the sale of our videoconferencing equipment business which had been central to our operations, in order to focus solely on growing our video communications services. During the next twelve months, we became a truly independent company as we were forced to reassess our business relationship with Wire One. We completely replaced the volume of our only distribution channel with billable subscriber locations driving profitable revenue. Our mission is to significantly improve the ease-of-use, cost-effectiveness, functionalities and quality of existing video communications in order to make it an integral part of business communications. Wire One was formed on May 18, 2000 by the merger of All Communications Corporation and View Tech, Inc. From July 2000 through November 2001, we made several small acquisitions for a total of approximately $9.3 million in cash and stock. In October 2001, we sold our voice communications business for approximately $2 million and in March 2003, we sold our audio-visual business for approximately $0.8 million. On September 23, 2003, we sold substantially all of the assets of our video solutions (VS) business to an affiliate of Gores Technology Group (Gores), a privately held international acquisition and management firm, in order to focus solely on growing our Glowpoint network service. The VS segment included our videoconferencing equipment distribution, system design and engineering, installation, operation and maintenance activities and consisted of: a headquarters and warehouse facility in Miamisburg, Ohio; a help desk operation in Camarillo, California; 24 sales offices and demonstration facilities across the United States; and a client list of approximately 3,000 active customers with an installed base of approximately 22,000 video conferencing systems. As a result, this segment is classified as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements with its assets and liabilities summarized in single line items on the consolidated balance sheets and its results from operations summarized in a single line item on the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 3 for further information. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we named a new Chief Executive Officer and President, David C. Trachtenberg. On January 6, 2004, we launched our new suite of the “All You Can See” unlimited video calling plans, in order to create a sustainable subscription based revenue stream that would drive positive gross margin. We launched the new plans to drive gross margin targets of 60-65%; we made them one year minimum subscriptions with no free trial period; we now pre-qualify each new site to align properly our connectivity costs with our subscription revenues and we discontinued our pay-as-you-go and hourly plans, thus reducing the dependency on our no-margin, low revenue legacy business. We also accomplished our mission of making video as easy and spontaneous as a phone call with the power of face-to-face communications. The introduction of “Lisa” (video call director) and our video call director suite of IP services, including video call assistant, video call mailboxes and dial 000 live operator completed this mission. On April 20, 2004, we entered into a strategic alliance with Tandberg, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Tandberg ASA (OSLO:TAA.OL), a global provider of visual communications solutions. As part of the alliance agreement, we acquired certain assets and the customer base of Tandberg-owned Network Systems LLC (successor to the NuVision Companies). Network Systems customers, primarily ISDN-based video users, have immediate access to our video bridging and webcasting services. As part of the alliance, Tandberg’s corporate use of IP video communications and other telecommunications services, formerly purchased through Network Systems, is being provided exclusively by us under a multi-year agreement. In addition, we assumed current contractual commitments with AT&T, MCI and Sprint from Network Systems, which have been consolidated into new agreements with these carriers. Lastly, Tandberg named the Glowpoint Certified Program as a recognized external testing partner for its hardware and software products. |

On December 7, 2004, we entered into a strategic partnership with Integrated Vision, Australia’s leading video conferencing solution provider to power the continent’s first dedicated IP-based network for global video communications. The agreement is our first international interconnection agreement for “Glowpoint Enabling” an existing communications network. Glowpoint enabled networks deliver patent-pending video communication applications. Integrated Vision is responsible for the sales, marketing, operations and customer support of the Glowpoint branded service in Australia. On February 17, 2005, we entered into a memorandum of understanding outlining a strategic alliance with Sony Electronics, Inc. in which the two companies would create and launch a complete, Sony customized, user friendly video communication solution focused on broadening the use of IP-based video in and out of traditional office environments. On March 28, 2005, we entered into a sales agency agreement, a development agreement and a joint marketing agreement with Sony to implement the transactions outlined in the memorandum of understanding. The Sony service, powered by Glowpoint, will try to bring together Sony’s state-of-the-art line of video conferencing systems with our patent-pending advanced IP-based video applications and network services. The two companies are also developing joint initiatives to support the growing use of IP-based video for more diverse and innovative applications, including the broadcasting production segment where Sony is a recognized leader in providing customers with advanced audio and video equipment and systems. Through a “white label” arrangement, the two companies plan on delivering a customized Sony experience that will allow subscribers to see and talk to anyone, anywhere around the world regardless of network technology and device. Additionally, as part of the alliance and to support development of the new service, Sony will install the Glowpoint powered solution into a number of their office locations in the U. S. On March 14 2005, we announced the closing of a private placement that raised gross proceeds of $10.15 million from several unrelated institutional investors, including existing and new shareholders. Under the terms of the financing, we issue approximately 6,766,667 common shares. Additionally, we issued to the investors approximately 2,706,667 common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The proceeds of the financing will be used for working capital requirements. We issued shares and warrants directly to the purchasers under an effective universal shelf registration statement. |

Year Ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Period) Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003 (2003 Period) Net Revenues. Net revenues increased $5.7 million, or 55%, for the 2004 period to $16.0 million from $10.3 million for the 2003 period. Contractual revenue increased $5.0 million, or 74%, to $11.9 million in the 2004 period from $6.9 million for the 2003 period. Contractual revenue, which includes subscription and related revenue as has been reported previously plus NuVision revenue directly related to those customers that are under contract, is a new categorization resulting from the NuVision acquisition completed in the June 2004 quarter. The most significant component of this category, Glowpoint subscription and related revenue, increased $3.3 million, or 49%, in the 2004 period to $10.2 million from $6.9 million for the 2003 period. The growth in subscription and related revenue was the result of having, on average, 359 more billable subscriber locations in the 2004 period than the 2003 period. There were 1,198 average billable subscriber locations in 2004 compared to 839 in 2003, an increase of 43%. The average monthly subscription and related revenues increased 4.4% to $710 in 2004 from $680 in 2003. The second category of contractual revenue is from the NuVision customer base and totaled $1.7 million for the 2004 period. Non-contractual revenue increased 18% to $4.1 million for the 2004 period from $3.5 million for the 2003 period. Non-contractual revenue includes Glowpoint non-subscription revenue (our event-driven category of revenue) plus NuVision revenue generated by customers that are not currently under contract. The net increase in non-contractual |

|
revenue resulted from $1.1 million in revenue for services provided to NuVision customers, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in the 2004 period due to a decline in H.320 bridging revenue from the overall decline in H320 or ISDN bridging services. Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $2.7 million, or 28%, in the 2004 period to $12.8 million from $10.1 million for the 2003 period but declined as a percentage of revenue from 97.6% in the 2003 period to 80.3% for the 2004 period. Infrastructure costs (defined as backbone-related costs of network) remained flat at $3.2 million in the 2004 and 2003 periods. Access costs (defined as costs of connecting subscriber locations to the network) increased $0.9 million, or 21%, in the 2004 period to $5.1 million from $4.2 million for the 2003 period. The growth in access costs was the result of having, on average, 359 more billable subscriber locations each costing an average of $199 per month for access to the network. There were 1,198 average billable subscriber locations in the 2004 period and 839 in the 2003 period. The average monthly access costs per subscriber location fell 16% from $421 in the 2003 period to $355 in the 2004 period. The decline in average monthly access costs per subscriber location is the result of increasing use of DSL as the means of accessing the network. Gross Margin. Gross margins increased approximately $2.9 million in the 2004 period from $0.2 million in the 2003 period to $3.1 million for the 2004 period. As a percentage of revenue, gross margins increased in the 2004 period to 19.7% as compared to 2.4% of net revenue in the 2003 period. The major factors in the positive movement in gross margin were the leveraging of the fixed infrastructure costs over a larger base of billable subscriber locations, the pass through of the universal service tax fee that had not previously been charged to our customers in 2003, the continued impact of new customers coming on with our higher margin “All You Can See” unlimited video calling plans targeted at 60-65% margins, and improving the margins on legacy accounts through very targeted transition to our new unlimited annual subscription plans. Additionally, gross margin on the NuVision business amounted to 32% in the 2004 period which favorably impacted overall gross margin. Research and Development. Research and development costs, which includes the costs of the personnel in this group, the equipment they use and their use of the network for development projects, increased $0.2 million in the 2004 period to $1.4 million but decreased as a percentage of revenue from 12.2% in the 2003 period to 9.0% in the 2004 period. It is expected that research and development costs will remain flat in coming quarters as we design and develop new service offerings to meet customer demand and test new products and technologies across the network without increasing current staffing levels. Selling. Selling expenses, which include sales salaries, commissions, overhead and marketing costs, increased $2.5 million in the 2004 period to $8.0 million from $5.5 million in the 2003 period. Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased from 53.3% in the 2003 period to 50.2% in the 2004 period. The primary causes of the increases in costs for the 2004 period are the $1.5 million increase in salaries and benefits resulting from the addition of 15 employees, the $0.4 million increase in marketing costs incurred related to trade shows, new product launch activities, channel diversification activities and remaining customer trials. In addition, $0.4 million of the increase results from higher commission and bonuses associated with higher revenue levels. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, to $8.5 million in the 2004 period from $6.4 million in the 2003 period. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue declined from 61.8% for the 2003 period to 53.0% for the 2004 period. The primary components of the increase in costs in the 2004 period were $0.5 million in professional fees, the majority of which related to executive searches during the 2004 period for new members of the management team, $0.4 million of costs related to severance and the closing of the Company’s New Hampshire office, $0.4 million of additional provision for bad debt related to the increase in the size of our business, and $0.2 million in non-cash expense recorded in connection with the issuance of restricted stock as compensation. Impairment Losses on Other Long-Lived Assets. In the 2003 period, as a result of our periodic evaluation of long-lived assets used in operations, we determined that fixed assets with a net book value of $1.4 million were no longer being used in our IP video network and were not generating cash flows to support their carrying values. In accordance with FASB Statement 144, these assets were written down to their fair value in October 2003. Other (Income) Expenses. Other expenses decreased $3.9 million to $(0.5) million in the 2004 period from $3.4 million in the 2003 period. The decrease was primarily due to the $5.0 million of other income recorded in the 2004 period related to a one-time fee due from Wire One Technology, Inc resulting from their acquisition of V- |

SPAN in October 2004. In addition, there was a decrease in interest expense of $0.9 million, resulting from the exchange of convertible subordinated debentures for convertible preferred stock in January 2004 and the termination of the line of credit with JPMorgan Chase in February 2004, and a gain on marketable equity securities of $0.1 million in the 2004 period as stock received in settlement of an account receivable was sold at a gain. Offsetting these items was accelerated amortization of the discount on subordinated debentures totaling $3.2 million resulting from the exchange of the subordinated debentures for preferred stock in the 2004 period. This caused a $1.2 million increase in amortization of discount on subordinated debentures between the two periods. In addition, the exchange of the subordinated debentures for preferred stock resulted in the recognition of a $1.4 million non-cash charge on the exchange of debt in 2004. Income Taxes. In the 2004 period, we recorded a deferred tax liability representing the difference between the book and tax basis of goodwill at December 31, 2004. No provision for income taxes was made in the 2003 period. Discontinued Operations. We treated our AV division and VS segment as discontinued operations because: (1) the operations and cash flows of this division and this segment have been eliminated from our ongoing operations as a result of disposal transactions and (2) we do not have any continuing involvement in the operations of the division or the segment. In the 2004 period, there was no income (loss) from discontinued AV operations and a $2.9 million loss from discontinued VS operations comprised of $2.0 million related to the determination of net assets and the transition cost amount of the business by an arbitrator in accordance with the asset purchase agreement and the costs of the arbitration process, $0.8 million related to the settlement of disputes with Gores and $0.1 million related to the settlement of liabilities of the VS business in excess of those previously accrued. In the 2003 period, we incurred a loss from discontinued AV operations of $1.2 million and from discontinued VS operations of $3.6 million Net Loss. Net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $17.8 million or $0.49 per basic and diluted share in the 2004 period from $22.4 million or $0.76 per basic and diluted share in the 2003 period. Before giving effect to the aggregate $0.4 million in preferred stock dividends on series B convertible preferred stock in the 2004 period and no preferred stock dividends in the 2003 period, we reported a net loss of $17.4 million for the 2004 period and $22.4 million for the 2003 period. Year Ended December 31, 2003 (2003 Period) Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002 (2002 Period). Net Revenues. Net revenues from continuing operations increased $4.7 million, or 84%, in the 2003 period to $10.3 million from $5.6 million for the 2002 period. Subscription and related revenue increased $4.5 million, or 195%, in the 2003 period to $6.8 million from $2.3 million for the 2002 period. Non-subscription revenue consisting of bridging, events and other one-time fees increased $0.2 million, or 6%, in the 2003 period to $3.5 million from $3.3 million for the 2002 period. The growth in subscription and related revenue was the result of having, on average, 578 more billable subscriber locations in the 2003 period than in the 2002 period and those billable subscriber locations each producing an average of $752 per month in revenue. There were 839 average billable subscriber locations in the 2003 period and 261 in the 2002 period. The average monthly subscription and related revenue per subscriber location fell 9% from $747 in the 2002 period to $680 in the 2003 period. The decline in average monthly subscription and related revenue per subscriber location is the result of the growth in the number of billable subscriber locations using the $199 per month pay as you go plan. The $0.2 million increase in non-subscription revenue resulted from the following: 1) a $0.5 million increase in H.323 bridging revenue from $0.7 million in the 2002 period to $1.2 million in the 2003 period resulting from increased billable subscriber locations; 2) a $0.2 million increase in installation revenue from $0.1 million in the 2002 period to $0.3 million in the 2003 period due to the increase in installations from 397 in the 2002 period to 730 in the 2003 period; and 3) a $0.5 million decline in H.320 bridging revenue from $2.2 million in the 2002 period to $1.7 million in the 2003 period. Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenue increased $4.5 million, or 80%, in the 2003 period to $10.1 million from $5.6 million for the 2002 period. Infrastructure costs (defined as backbone-related costs of network) increased $1.0 million, or 45%, in the 2003 period to $3.2 million from $2.2 million for the 2002 period. This increase resulted from two factors: 1) the build-out of the network to handle the video traffic of approximately 4,000 billable subscriber locations - $0.6 million of the increase; and 2) the evolution of the network to gain long-term cost efficiencies or as a result of backbone provider issues - $0.4 million of the increase. Access costs (defined as costs of connecting subscriber locations to the network) increased $2.5 million, or 147%, in the 2003 period to $4.2 million |

|
from $1.7 million for the 2002 period. The growth in access costs was the result of having, on average, 578 more billable subscriber locations in the 2003 period than in the 2002 period and those billable subscriber locations each costing an average of $368 per month for access to the network. There were 839 average billable subscriber locations in the 2003 period and 261 in the 2002 period. The average monthly access costs per subscriber location fell 22% from $539 in the 2002 period to $421 in the 2003 period. The decline in average monthly access costs per subscriber location is the result of the growth in the number of billable subscriber locations using the $199 per month pay-as-you-go plan and by the increasing use of DSL as the means of accessing the network. Other costs of revenue include the personnel costs related to providing the Glowpoint video communications service along with the ISDN network costs of providing H.320 bridging services. These costs increased $0.9 million, or 53%, in the 2003 period to $2.6 million from $1.7 million for the 2002 period. This increase resulted primarily from three factors: 1) increased depreciation related to increased equipment deployed in the network - $0.3 million; 2) credits recorded in the September 2002 quarter of approximately $250,000 related to refunds of previously paid infrastructure and access fees; and 3) a $0.2 million increase in installation costs from $0.1 million in the 2002 period to $0.3 million in the 2003 period due to the increase in installations from 397 in the 2002 period to 730 in the 2003 period. ISDN network costs fell $0.2 million in line with the decline in H.320 bridging revenue. Gross Margin. Gross margins increased to approximately $0.2 million in the 2003 period from approximately $2,000 in the 2002 period. As a percentage of revenue, gross margins increased in the 2003 period to 2.4%, as compared to 0.0% of net revenues in the 2002 period. The primary cause of the increase in gross margin is the increase in revenue ($1.9 million impact assuming a 40% marginal gross margin on the additional $4.7 million in revenue). Offsetting items included the increased fixed costs incurred to continue the build out of the network ($1.0 million), the costs to re-configure portions of the network that were incurred ($0.4 million) and the impact in the September 2002 quarter of approximately $250,000 in refunds of previously paid infrastructure and access fees. Research and Development. Research and development costs, which include the costs of the personnel in this group, the equipment they use and their use of the network for development projects, increased $0.3 million in the 2003 period to $1.3 million from $1.0 million in the 2002 period but were down as a percentage of revenue from 18.3% in the 2002 period to 12.2% of revenue in the 2003 period. The increase in expenses was primarily the result of adding two full-time employees in the 2003 period. Selling. Selling expenses, which include sales salaries, commissions, overhead, and marketing costs, increased $1.7 million to $5.5 million in the 2003 period, from $3.8 million in the 2002 period but were down as a percentage of revenue from 68.4% in the 2002 period to 53.3% of revenue in the 2003 period. The primary component of the $1.7 million increase in costs is the $0.9 million of marketing costs incurred in the 2003 period related to the NBA draft ($0.3 million) and customer trials ($0.6 million). The remainder of the variance results from higher commissions and bonuses associated with higher revenue levels ($0.3 million), increased consulting expenses to review and re-launch our operations, product set, on-line tools and marketing, as well as to establish the webcast service infrastructure and upgrade and automate our customer service systems ($0.2 million) and increased sales overhead (rent, depreciation, telecommunications, insurance, travel and office expenses) ($0.3 million). General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million in the 2003 period to $6.4 million from $5.4 million in the 2002 period. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the 2003 period declined from 91.1% in the 2002 period to 61.8% in the 2003 period. The primary components of the $1.0 million increase in costs were $0.6 million in non-cash expense recorded in connection with the issuance of restricted stock and warrants as compensation and for financing and consulting services, $0.2 million of severance, change of management and other payouts and $0.3 million of additional professional fees incurred related to the search for a new CEO, filing the proxy and holding the annual meeting in August, divestitures and other corporate activities. Impairment Losses on Other Long-Lived Assets. In the third quarter of 2003, as a result of our periodic evaluation of long-lived assets used in operations, we determined that fixed assets with a net book of $1.4 million were no longer being used in our IP video network and generating cash flows to support their carrying values. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, these assets were written down to their fair value. Other (Income) Expenses. Other expenses increased $2.9 million to $3.4 million in the 2003 period from $0.5 million in the 2002 period. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of $2.0 million in amortization of discount on the subordinated debentures issued in December 2002. The other major component of this category, interest expense, increased $0.6 million to $1.0 million. This increase was primarily due to higher interest expense |
17 |
|
on our line of credit facility of $0.1 million and interest accrued on the subordinated debentures of $0.6 million. Amortization of deferred financing costs increased $0.3 million to $0.4 million in the 2003 period from $0.1 million in the 2002 period. In addition to normal amortization recorded in the 2003 period, additional accelerated amortization of $0.2 million was recorded to recognize the reduction in the commitment amount of the line of credit that occurred in 2003. Income Taxes. During the 2003 period, as we had done in the 2002 period, we established a valuation allowance to offset the benefits of significant temporary tax differences due to the uncertainty of their realization. These deferred tax assets consist primarily of net operating losses carried forward in the VTI merger, reserves and allowances, and stock-based compensation. Due to the nature of the deferred tax assets, the related tax benefits, upon realization, will be credited substantially to the goodwill asset or additional paid-in capital, rather than to income tax expense. Discontinued Operations. In the 2003 period, we treated our AV division and VS segment as discontinued operations because: 1) the operations and cash flows of this division and segment have been eliminated from our ongoing operations as a result of disposal transactions; and 2) we do not have any significant continuing involvement in the operation of the division or the segment. We incurred a loss from discontinued AV operations in the 2003 period of $1.2 million which was $1.5 million less than the $2.7 million loss incurred in the 2002 period. Loss from discontinued VS operations decreased $41.2 million in the 2003 period to $3.6 million from the $44.8 million loss incurred in the 2002 period which included $41.4 million of impairment losses on goodwill and long-lived assets. Loss from discontinued voice operations decreased $0.3 million in the 2003 period to $0 from the $0.3 million loss incurred in the 2002 period. Net Loss. Net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $22.4 million, or $0.76 per basic and diluted share, from $58.6 million, or $2.03 per basic and diluted share, for the 2002 period. Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2004, we had working capital of $6.0 million compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of approximately 22%. We had $4.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2004 compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2003. The $1.1 million increase in working capital resulted primarily from the net proceeds from the February 2004 private placement of common stock of $12.4 million and net proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.6 million offset by the funding of the $9.1 million usage of cash in operations in the 2004 period and the purchase of $3.4 million of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements. In January 2004, in exchange for the cancellation and termination of notes with an aggregate face value of $4,888,000 and forfeiture of any and all rights of collection, claim or demand under the notes, we issued to the holders of the notes (i) an aggregate of 203.667 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock and (ii) an aggregate of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock; and reduced the exercise price of the warrants to purchase shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the original purchase agreement from $3.25 to $2.75. As a result of this exchange, the $3.1 million of discount on subordinated debentures as of December 31, 2003 was written off to expense in the first quarter of 2004. In February 2004, we raised net proceeds of $12.4 million in a private placement of 6,100,000 shares of our common stock at $2.25 per share. We also issued 1,830,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. The warrants expire on August 17, 2009. The warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution protection. In addition, we issued to our placement agent five-year warrants to purchase 427,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.71 per share. In March 2005, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with several unrelated institutional investors in connection with the offering of (i) an aggregate of 6,766,667 shares of our common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,706,667 shares of our common stock. We received proceeds from this offering of approximately $10.15 million, less our expenses relating to the offering, which were approximately $760,500, a portion of which represents investment advisory fees totaling $710,500 to Burnham Hill Partners, our financial advisor. The warrants are exercisable for a five-year term and have an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The warrants may be exercised by cash payment of the exercise price or by “cashless exercise.” At December 31, 2003, we had a $7.5 million working capital credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the lender’s base rate plus 1 1/2% per annum. At December 31, 2003, |
18 |
|
there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility. Proceeds from the sale of the VS segment were used to pay down the outstanding balance under the facility to zero. The credit facility remained in place subsequent to the closing of the VS sale transaction. In February 2004, this credit facility was terminated at our request. As a result of the termination of this credit facility, the $85,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2003 were written off to expense in the first quarter of 2004. The following summarizes our contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments at December 31, 2004, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods. |

Net cash used by operating activities for the 2004 period was $9.1 million as compared to net cash used in operations of $6.8 million during the 2003 period. The primary sources of operating cash in 2004 were the $1.0 million increase in deferred revenue, $0.5 million increase in accounts payable, $0.2 million increase in accrued expenses and the $0.2 million of proceeds from the sale of marketable equity securities. Significant uses of cash included funding the $6.2 million cash loss from operations (net of the $17.4 million net loss and the total non-cash expenses of $11.2 million), $4.1 million increase in other current assets, $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable and the $0.2 million increase in other assets. In an effort to further develop our Glowpoint network, we employ a staff of 10 software and hardware engineers who evaluate, test and develop proprietary applications. Research and development costs, which include costs of the personnel in this group, the equipment that they use and their use of the network, totaled $1.4 million in the 2004 period. It is expected that research and development costs will remain flat in coming quarters as we design and develop new service offerings to meet customer demand, test new products and technologies across the network and develop and enhance on-line tools to make the customer/partner experience a satisfying and productive one. Investing activities for the 2004 period included purchases of $3.4 million for network, computer and videoconferencing equipment and leasehold improvements. Our network is currently built out to handle the anticipated level of subscriptions for 2005. Although we anticipate current expansion of the network, we have no significant commitments to make capital expenditures in 2005. Financing activities in the 2004 period included receipt of the $12.4 million of net proceeds from the February 2004 private placement of common stock and the $0.6 million of exercise proceeds related to stock options. |

|
We believe, based on current circumstances, that we have adequate capital resources to support current operating levels for at least the next twelve months. Critical Accounting Policies We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The following paragraphs include a discussion of some critical areas in which critical accounting policies apply. Revenue Recognition We recognize service revenue related to our network subscriber service and the multipoint video and audio bridging services as service is provided. In February, 2004, we began billing subscription fees in advance and at December 31, 2004, we had deferred approximately $811,000 of this revenue. Because the non-refundable, upfront activation fees charged to the subscribers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting, they are deferred and recognized over the life of the customer relationship. At December 31, 2004, we had deferred approximately $207,000 of activation fees and approximately $175,000 of related installation costs. Revenues derived from other sources are recognized when services are provided or events occur. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that we believe to be uncollectible. We also record additional allowances based on certain percentages of our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and our assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, we write off the receivable against the allowance. Long-Lived Assets We evaluate impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, primarily fixed assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable in accordance with FASB Statement No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values, the related assets will be written down to fair value. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” in accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that we identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS No. 142 (See Note 6). |

Non-cash financing and investing activities: During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we recorded non-cash amortization of discount on subordinated debentures of $3,165,036, $1,987,550 and $39,360, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we issued shares of common stock in lieu of interest on subordinated debentures with values of $44,517 and $570,253, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we exchanged convertible subordinated debentures for convertible preferred stock with a value totaling $6,242,000. We accrued preferred stock dividends of $368,543 during the year ended December 31, 2004. We acquired equipment with costs totaling $258,110 under capital lease arrangements during the year ended December 31, 2003. See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. |
28 |
| GLOWPOINT, INC. |
| Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glowpoint and our wholly owned subsidiaries, AllComm Products Corporation (“APC”), and VTC Resources, Inc. (“VTC”). All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
| Use of Estimates |
|
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. We periodically evaluate estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. |
| Revenue Recognition |
|
We recognize service revenue related to the Glowpoint network subscriber service and the multi-point video and audio bridging services as service is provided. In February, 2004 we began billing subscription fees in advance and at December 31, 2004, we had deferred approximately $811,000 of this revenue. Customer activation fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the customer relationship. At December 31, 2004, we had deferred approximately $207,000 of activation fees and approximately $175,000 of related installation costs. Revenues derived from other sources are recognized when services are provided or events occur. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents consisted of $4.9 million and $4.5 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003. In September 2003, as a condition to closing the sale of our videoconferencing equipment business, we set aside $335,000 in an interest-bearing escrow account. These funds, including interest thereon, are restricted as to their use until certain calculations required by the asset purchase agreement are performed and agreed between the parties or determined by independent accountants and are included in escrowed cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2004 and 2003. On March 7, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Gores under which Gores released to Glowpoint the $335,000, including interest thereon that was escrowed at the closing of the asset sale. |
29 |
| Concentration of Credit Risk |
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and uncollateralized trade accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents primarily in commercial checking accounts and money market funds. Commercial bank balances may from time to time exceed federal insurance limits; money market funds are uninsured. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of our revenues or accounts receivable. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also record additional allowances based on certain percentages of our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and an assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. |
| Prepaid Commissions |
|
Prior to the sale of the VS operation, we paid commissions to VS employees for their efforts in obtaining year-long customer subscriptions on the Glowpoint network. These costs have been recorded as prepaid commissions and are amortized to selling expenses over the term of the related customer agreement. Payments made to resellers for their efforts in obtaining customer subscriptions are treated similarly in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, we had deferred approximately $75,000 and $200,000, respectively, related to prepaid commissions with the balance at December 31, 2004 related entirely to commissions paid to resellers. |
| Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Furniture and office, computer, videoconferencing, bridging and network equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to six years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the asset’s useful life or the related lease term. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Property and equipment include fixed assets subject to capital leases which are depreciated over the life of the respective asset. |
| Long-Lived Assets |
|
We evaluate impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, primarily fixed assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets would be compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values, the related assets will be written down to fair value. |
| Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets |
|
We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” in accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that we identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS No. 142 (See Note 6). |
| Income Taxes |
|
We use the liability method to determine our income tax expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities (principally certain accrued expenses, compensation expenses, depreciation expense and allowance for doubtful accounts), and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. |

| Earnings (loss) Per Share |
|
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the weighted average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method and the deemed conversion of subordinated debentures using the if-converted method. Diluted loss per share for 2004, 2003 and 2002 is the same as basic loss per share, since the effects of the calculation for those years were anti-dilutive. |

Weighted average options and warrants to purchase 12,829,219, 11,956,659 and 11,143,590 shares of common stock during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and subordinated debentures convertible into 2,036,667 common shares in 2003 and 2002, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because we reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for these periods and their effect would have been anti-dilutive. |
| Stock-Based Compensation |
|
We periodically grant stock options to employees in accordance with the provisions of our stock option plans, with the exercise price of the stock options being set at the closing market price of the common stock on the date of grant. We account for our employee stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and, accordingly, account for employee stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method. SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. We have adopted the disclosure only alternative under SFAS No. 123, which requires disclosure of the pro forma effects on earnings and earnings per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been adopted as well as certain other information. The fair value of stock options or warrants issued in return for services rendered by any non-employees is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and is charged to operations over the vesting period or the terms of the underlying service agreements. We adjust these estimates for any increases in market price for each of our reporting periods. In 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure”, which (i) amends SFAS No. 123, to provide alterative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation (ii) amends the disclosure provisions of, SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation and (iii) amends APB opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. We continue to account for employee stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method. The additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 are as follows: |

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during 2004, 2003 and 2002 under the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $1.16, $1.23 and $1.90 per option, respectively. The fair value of each option granted in 2004, 2003 and 2002 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: |

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
Financial instruments reported in our consolidated balance sheet consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and bank loan payable, the carrying value of which approximated fair value at December 31, 2004 and 2003. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed are not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement. |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R which addresses the accounting for transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. It eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25 and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. As permitted by the current SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, we have been accounting for share-based compensation to employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, we generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 123R for the interim period beginning after June 15, 2005. Based on the current outstanding unvested number of stock options, we expect to record compensation charges totaling $2.0 million over the vesting period of the options. The adoption of this statement will have no impact on our cash flows. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” SFAS No. 153 is based on the principle that exchange of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair market value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception of nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We are currently evaluating the |
32 |
|
provisions of SFAS No. 153 and do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Note 3—Discontinued Operations In September 2003, we completed the sale of all of the properties, rights, interests and other tangible and intangible assets that relate in any material respect to our VS segment to Gores pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement dated as of June 10, 2003. We are entitled to receive total consideration of up to $24 million for the transaction, consisting of $21 million in cash, including $19 million received at closing and a $2 million holdback, an unsecured $1 million promissory note maturing on December 31, 2004 and bearing an interest rate of 5% per annum and a $2 million earn-out based on performance of the assets over the two years following the closing. Gores held back $2 million to cover potential purchase price adjustments payable by Glowpoint arising under the asset purchase agreement. The $2 million cash holdback and the $1 million unsecured promissory note were not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 as Gores had not yet completed their evaluation of the acquired assets. A deferred gain on sale of the VS operation totaling $646,000 was recorded and is a component of accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003. Gores will also pay Glowpoint on each of June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005 additional payments, not to exceed an aggregate of $2 million, equal to five percent of the sum of (1) the amounts billed by Gores from the operation of the VS segment by Gores after the closing, plus (2) the annual revenues derived from the video solutions business of Pierce Technology Services, Inc. (formerly Forgent Networks, Inc.) for such year in excess of $96 million. If Gores sells substantially all of the assets of its video solutions business prior to June 30, 2005, whether by merger, sale of stock or sale of assets, for total consideration greater than $35 million, Gores will pay us $2 million less amounts previously paid. As partial consideration for the purchase of assets, Gores assumed certain liabilities related to the VS segment, including (1) all liabilities to be paid or performed after the closing date that arise from or out of the performance or non-performance by Gores after the closing date of any contracts included in the assets or entered into after June 10, 2003 and (2) our accounts payable, customer deposits, deferred revenue and accrued liabilities related to the VS segment. The sale of our VS segment was approved by stockholders at our 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on Thursday, August 21, 2003. The closing of the sale took place on September 23, 2003. The VS segment included our videoconferencing equipment distribution, system design and engineering, installation, operation and maintenance activities consisting of: a headquarters and warehouse facility in Miamisburg, Ohio; a help desk operation in Camarillo, California; 24 sales offices and demonstration facilities across the United States; and a client list of approximately 3,000 active customers with an installed base of approximately 22,000 video conferencing systems. As a result, this segment is classified as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements, with its assets and liabilities summarized in single line items on the consolidated balance sheets and its results from operations summarized in a single line item on the consolidated statement of operations. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement dated as of June 10, 2003 (the “Agreement”), Gores agreed that, for a period of three years commencing on the closing date, it would not, directly or indirectly, acquire or own any equity interest in the restricted competitors listed on a schedule to the Agreement in a transaction that would result in Gores directly or indirectly marketing or selling services that are competitive with our Network Business. Our Network Business consists of the Glowpoint service as well as bridging, gateway and network design operations. On October 8, 2004, Gores announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire V-SPAN, Inc., a video collaboration solutions company, in a merger transaction with Wire One Technology, Inc. (“Wire One”), a videoconferencing equipment integration and service company. V-SPAN is one of the restricted competitors listed on the aforementioned schedule and we believe that all of the services offered by V-SPAN are competitive with our Network Business. The Agreement further provided that Gores may acquire any of the restricted competitors upon payment by Gores to us of a one-time fee of $5 million. On December 2, 2004, we sued Gores to collect the $5 million owed under the Agreement as a result of Gores’ acquisition of V-SPAN, Inc. on November 29, 2004. |

On January 12, 2005, we announced that PricewaterhouseCoopers had rendered its decision in our arbitration proceeding with Gores. The arbitration was conducted pursuant to the asset purchase agreement governing the sale of our video solutions business. The arbitrator found 65% in our favor, allowing $4.3 million of Gores’ $12.3 million in claims relating to the determination of the net assets of the business. In addition, the arbitrator determined the transition cost amount defined by the agreement to be approximately $1.0 million. On March 7, 2005, we announced that we had entered into a settlement agreement with Gores, resolving the outstanding disputes between the companies relating to the sale of the assets of the video solutions business and Gores’ acquisition of V-SPAN. Pursuant to the agreement, Gores paid us $2.75 million and released the $335,000, including interest thereon that was escrowed at the closing of the asset sale. We dismissed our lawsuit against Gores relating to the V-SPAN acquisition. Revenues and pretax loss from discontinued VS operations are as follows: |

In March 2003, we completed the sale of certain assets of our audio-visual (“AV”) component to Columbia, Maryland-based Signal Perfection Limited for approximately $807,000, of which $250,000 was paid in cash at the close of the transaction and the balance of which was paid in full in 2003. The sale of the AV component was aimed at enabling us to focus more of our resources to the development and marketing of our Glowpoint network and to our video solutions business. As a consequence, this unit has been classified as a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, with its net assets summarized in a single line item on the consolidated balance sheets and its results from operations summarized in a single line item on the consolidated statements of operations.

On October 24, 2001, we completed the sale of our voice communications business unit to Fairfield, New Jersey-based Phonextra, Inc. for approximately $2,017,000, half of which was paid in cash at the close of the transaction and the balance of which was paid in the form of a promissory note which was paid in 2002. The sale of our voice communications unit was aimed at enabling us to sharpen our focus on video solutions and on Glowpoint. As a consequence, this unit has been classified as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements, with its results from operations summarized in a single line item on the consolidated statements of operations.

Depreciation expense was $3,794,446, $3,115,863 and $4,096,596 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which includes depreciation expense of $46,929 for 2004, $32,832 for 2003 and $57,937 for 2002 on fixed assets subject to capital leases. The equipment under capital leases as of December 31, 2004 had a cost of $258,110, accumulated depreciation of $79,761 and a net book value of $178,349. Note 6—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets We adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. As of this date, we completed our Step 1 analysis and determined there was no impairment of its existing goodwill. Subsequent to the completion of this initial transitional goodwill impairment test, certain events and changes in circumstances caused us to reevaluate the goodwill for possible impairment. We used a fair value approach as of September 30, 2002 to reevaluate the existing goodwill for impairment. We completed this valuation in the fourth quarter of 2002 and it resulted in an impairment of $40,012,114 of goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142, which is included in loss from discontinued VS operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Our acquisitions to date have all been accounted for using the purchase method. For purchase business combinations completed, the net carrying amount of goodwill was $2,547,862 as of December 31, 2004. We completed our annual test of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2004 in accordance with SFAS 142 and determined that no impairment existed. |

Note 8—Bank Loan Payable and Long-Term Debt |
| Bank Loan Payable |
|
In May 2002, we entered into a $25 million working capital credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank and incurred $505,074 in deferred financing costs. Under terms of the three-year agreement for this facility, loan availability is based on (1) 80% of eligible accounts receivable and (2) the lesser of 50% against eligible finished goods inventory or 80% against the net eligible amount of the net orderly liquidation value by category of finished goods inventory as determined by an outside appraisal firm, subject to an inventory cap of $2 million. Borrowings bear interest at the lender’s base rate plus 1 1/2 % per annum. At December 31, 2003, the interest rate on the facility was 5.50%. The credit facility contains certain financial and operational covenants. For the period from July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 (the “2002 Third Quarter”), we were in violation of the covenant requiring us to meet a certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) target for the three quarters ended September 30, 2002. In November, 2002, we concluded an amendment to the credit facility to cure noncompliance with the EBITDA covenant. As compensation for this amendment, we granted 100,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.99 to JPMorgan Chase. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be $176,203 using the Black-Scholes valuation method and this amount was charged to interest expense in 2002. For the period from October 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002 (“2002 Fourth Quarter”), we were in violation of the covenant requiring us to meet a certain EBITDA target for the four quarters ended December 31, 2002. In March 2003, we concluded an amendment to the credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank to cure non-compliance with the EBITDA financial covenant. As compensation for this amendment, we granted 100,000 warrants with an exercise price of $2.06 to JPMorgan Chase. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be $187,210 using the Black Scholes valuation method and this amount was charged to interest expense in 2003. Some additional highlights of the amendment include: 1) a reduction in the commitment amount of the line of credit from $25 million to $15 million; 2) revised EBITDA covenant levels for the remainder of the term of the credit agreement; and, 3) maintenance of the interest rate, loan fees and provisions of the borrowing formula at the same levels as previously negotiated. In September 2003, we signed a letter agreement with JP Morgan Chase to further reduce the commitment amount of the line of credit from $15 million to $7.5 million. In connection with these amendments, we wrote off approximately $188,000 of deferred financing costs in 2003. At December 31, 2003, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility. In February 2004, the working capital credit facility with JPMorgan Chase was terminated at our request. As a result of the termination of this credit facility, the $85,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2003 was written off to expense in the first quarter of 2004. |

Note 9—Subordinated Debentures In December 2002, we raised net proceeds of $4.6 million in a private placement of $4,888,000 principal amount of 8% convertible debentures. The debentures, which are convertible into 2,036,677 shares of common stock at $2.40 per share, are subordinate to our credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank. The debentures mature in February 2004, or 90 days following the expiration (in May 2005) or earlier termination of the credit facility, whichever is later. We have the option of paying interest quarterly on the debentures in the form of either cash or our common stock. Investors in the private placement also received five-year warrants to purchase 814,668 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share. The warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. We also issued to our placement agent warrants to purchase 40,733 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share with an expiration date of January 31, 2003. Costs of the offering, including the fair value of the warrants, totaled $2,519,000. This amount was recorded as a discount on subordinated debentures and is being amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the August 2005 redemption date. In addition, in accordance with EITF No. 00-27, we recorded additional discount on subordinated debentures of $2,369,000 to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the warrants. Accordingly, all of the proceeds from this financing have been credited to stockholders’ equity. In January 2004, in exchange for the cancellation and termination of notes with an aggregate face value of $4,888,000 and forfeiture of any and all rights of collection, claim or demand under the notes, we agreed to give the holders of the notes: (i) an aggregate of 203.667 shares of series B convertible preferred stock; (ii) an aggregate of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock; and (iii) a reduction of the exercise price of the warrants issued pursuant to the original purchase agreement from $3.25 to $2.75. As a result of this exchange, the $3.1 million of discount on subordinated debentures as of December 31, 2003 was written off to expense in the first quarter of 2004. Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity |
| Common Stock |
|
In February 2004, we raised net proceeds of $12.5 million in a private placement of 6,100,000 shares of our common stock at $2.25 per share. Investors in the private placement were also issued 1,830,000 common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. The warrants expire five and a half years after the closing date. The warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution protection. We also issued to our placement agent five-year warrants to purchase 427,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.71 per share. |
| Preferred Stock |
|
In December 1996, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The authorized number of shares of preferred stock to be issued was raised to 5,000,000 shares effective with the merger with VTI. Except for the 2,450 shares of Series A preferred stock issued in June 2000 and the 203.667 shares of Series B preferred stock issued in January 2004, the rights and privileges of the preferred stock have not yet been designated. |
37 |
|
In January 2004, in exchange for the cancellation and termination of notes with an aggregate face value of $4,888,000 and forfeiture of any and all rights of collection, claim or demand under the notes, we agreed to give the holders of the notes: (i) an aggregate of 203.667 shares of series B convertible preferred stock; (ii) an aggregate of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock; and (iii) a reduction of the exercise price of the warrants issued pursuant to the original purchase agreement from $3.25 to $2.75. As a result of this exchange, the $3.1 million of discount on subordinated debentures as of December 31, 2003 was written off to expense in the first quarter of 2004. The Series B preferred stock ranks senior to our common stock and other junior stock and subordinate to any indebtedness we may have outstanding. The Series B preferred stock holders are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the stated value per share of $24,000 per share per year through July 21, 2005, increasing to twelve percent (12%) on July 22, 2005, payable annually at our option in cash or shares of common stock. We must obtain the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock in order to issue any securities ranking senior to or on a parity with the Series B preferred stock. Other than as described in the preceding sentence or as required by Delaware law, the Series B preferred stock has no voting rights. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs, the holders of the Series B preferred stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference equal to the stated value per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series B preferred stock is convertible into our common stock at the conversion price of $2.40 per share of common stock. Upon a change of control, the holders of the Series B preferred stock can require that we redeem their shares at the stated value per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. We also have the option to redeem the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock at a price per share equal to 110% of the stated value plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Note 11—Stock Options |
| Glowpoint 2000 Stock Incentive Plan |
|
In September 2000, we adopted and approved the Glowpoint 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”) and reserved up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. In May 2002, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2000 Plan increasing the amount of shares available under the plan to 4,400,000. The 2000 Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) to employees or employees of its subsidiaries. Non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) may be granted to employees, directors and consultants. We issued 1,593,400 options during 2004 with exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.75 and vesting periods ranging to four years. We had issued options totaling 704,986 and 1,640,505 in 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, options to purchase a total of 3,124,020 shares were outstanding and 846,219 shares remained available for future issuance under the 2000 Plan. The exercise price of the awards is established by the administrator of the plan and, in the case of ISO’s issued to employees who are less than 10% stockholders the per share exercise price must be equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of the common stock on the date of grant or not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares in the case of an employee who is a 10% stockholder. The administrator of the plan determines the terms and provisions of each award granted under the 2000 Plan, including the vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment, payment contingencies and satisfaction of any performance criteria. Under the 2000 Plan, no individual will be granted ISO’s corresponding to shares with an aggregate exercise price in excess of $100,000 in any calendar year less the aggregate exercise price of shares under other company stock options granted to that individual that vest in such calendar year. The 2000 Plan will terminate in 2010. |
| 1996 Stock Option Plan |
|
In December 1996, the Board of Directors adopted a Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and reserved up to 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. In June 1998, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 1996 Plan increasing the amount of shares available under the plan to 2,475,000. The 1996 Plan provides for the granting of options to officers, directors, employees and advisors. The exercise price of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) issued to employees who are less than 10% stockholders shall not be less than the fair market |
38 |
|
value of the underlying shares on the date of grant or not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares in the case of an employee who is a 10% stockholder. The exercise price of restricted stock options shall not be less than the par value of the shares to which the option relates. Options are not exercisable for a period of one year from the date of grant. Under the 1996 Plan, no individual will be granted ISO’s corresponding to shares with an aggregate exercise price in excess of $100,000 in any calendar year less the aggregate exercise price of shares under other stock options granted to that individual that vest in such calendar year. The 1996 Plan will terminate in 2006. No options were granted under the 1996 Plan in 2004, 2003 and 2002. As of December 31, 2004, options to purchase a total of 66,825 shares were outstanding and no shares remained available for future issuance under the 1996 Plan. |
| VTI Stock Option Plans |
|
As part of the merger with VTI, we assumed the outstanding options of the four stock option plans maintained by VTI. These plans generally require the exercise price of options to be not less than the estimated fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Options vest over a maximum period of four years and may be exercised in varying amounts over their respective terms. In accordance with the provisions of such plans, all outstanding options become immediately exercisable upon a change of control, as defined, of VTI. VTI had authorized an aggregate of 1,161,000 shares of common stock to be available under all the current option plans. The plans will terminate in 2009. Options assumed as part of the merger with VTI totaled 361,605. No options were granted under these Plans in 2004, 2003 and 2002. As of December 31, 2004, options to purchase a total of 223,225 shares were outstanding and no shares remained available for future issuance. We have also issued stock options outside of our qualified plans. At December 31, 2004, the total of these options outstanding was 1,532,893. A summary of options issued under our plans and other options outstanding as of December 31, 2004, and changes during fiscal 2002, 2003 and 2004 are presented below: |

| (1) | In January 2003, we granted a terminated employee 3,250 stock options at an exercise price of $1.13,
which was below the fair market value of our stock on the date of the grant. This was done to correct
an oversight in not granting the options while he was an employee. We did not record compensation
cost related to the grant of these options as the impact was deemed to be immaterial to the consolidated
financial statements. |

We have elected to use the intrinsic value-based method of APB Opinion No. 25 to account for its entire employee stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, at the date of grant no compensation cost was recognized in the accompanying financial statements for stock options issued to employees because the exercise price of each option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the grant date for each stock option. Non-cash compensation expense recognized in our Statement of Operations totaled $902,375, $4,008,076 and $675,057 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded amortization of deferred compensation from the issuance of restricted stock of $857,858. In addition, we recorded a non-cash interest charge of $44,517 related to shares of common stock issued to subordinated debenture holders in lieu of cash interest payments. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded non-cash charges totaling $2,149,661 related to the extension of the post-termination exercise period of stock options of former employees. We recorded a non-cash interest charge of $570,253 related to shares of common stock issued to subordinated debenture holders in lieu of cash interest payments. Non-cash charges totaling $560,740 were recorded related to the issuance of 100,000 warrants to our current investment advisory firm and the re-pricing of 220,000 warrants previously issued to our prior investment advisory firm and its assigns. In addition, a non-cash charge of $378,766 was recorded to recognize the value of restricted stock issued to employees, directors and consultants as compensation and for consulting services that had vested during 2004. In addition to this charge, we recorded a $187,210 non-cash charge to interest expense for the Black-Scholes value of 100,000 warrants issued to JP Morgan Chase Bank as compensation for amending our credit agreement. The remaining $161,446 of non-cash compensation related to amortization of deferred employee stock option compensation which originated in the fourth quarter of 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a non-cash charge of $206,663 related to a one-year extension of certain stock options originally granted to our COO in 1997 and that were scheduled to expire in December 2002. The amount of the charge was calculated in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation” which specifies that extending the maximum contractual life of an award results in a new measurement of compensation cost at the date of modification and that any intrinsic value at the modification date in excess of the amount measured at the original measurement date must be recognized as compensation cost immediately if the award is vested. The expiration date of the 123,750 fully-vested options with an exercise price of $0.53 per share was extended for one year on December 9, 2002. The market price of our common stock on that day was $2.20 per share. In addition to this charge, we recorded a $176,203 non-cash charge to interest expense for the Black-Scholes value of 100,000 warrants issued to JP Morgan Chase Bank as compensation for amending our credit agreement. The remaining $292,191 of non-cash compensation related to amortization of deferred employee stock option compensation which originated in the fourth quarter of 2000. Also, during 2002, we entered into a severance and consulting arrangement with our former president. Under the terms of the severance arrangement, we granted the former president options to purchase 84,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.13 per share, which vests 50% upon the date of grant and 50% on July 31, 2003. We valued these shares using the Black-Scholes pricing model and recorded an $86,736 non-cash charge to |

restructuring for the vested portion of these shares. Under the terms of the consulting arrangement, we granted an additional 50,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, which vests 5,000 shares per month until July 31, 2003. We also valued these shares using the Black-Scholes pricing model and recorded a $48,603 non-cash charge to prepaid professional fees for the vested portion of these shares. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we received $569,701, $630,935 and $371,489 respectively from the exercise of stock options. At December 31, 2004, we had outstanding warrants which can be converted into 7,486,023 shares of common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $10.50 and expiration dates ranging from June 6, 2005 to August 17, 2009. At December 31, 2004 these warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $5.43 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.56 years. For the 2,257,000 warrants that were granted in 2004, the weighted average grant date fair value as determined by the Black-scholes option pricing model was $1.95.

employed by us. Under the agreement, Mr. Zigmont is entitled to annual incentive compensation for 2004 in an amount equivalent to forty percent (40%) of his then annual base salary subject to the achievement of goals and metrics established by the President and CEO. The agreement also provides for a one-time guaranteed bonus of $50,000, payable on December 31, 2004 and a grant of an option to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock under the 2000 Plan, vesting 50% on execution of the agreement and 50% on December 31, 2004.

Mr. Zigmont is to be employed as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer through December 31, 2004 (or until a new Chief Financial Officer is hired), commencing as of the date of this agreement (it being understood that the Employment Period may be extended to continue on an “at will” basis following December 31, 2004, where either we or Mr. Zigmont may terminate his employment at any time, for any reason or no reason at all so long as they comply with the terms of the agreement). If Mr. Zigmont is terminated without cause, or resigns for good reason, or dies, he is be entitled to severance equal to seven and one-half (7 1/2) months’ salary at his then current rate of compensation as well as the continuation of benefits under the agreement. Such severance will be paid either as a lump sum or as salary continuation, at our discretion. In December 2004 we decided that Mr. Zigmont's employment will terminate in the first half of 2005 and accordingly, approximately $150,000 in severance and benefits costs were accrued at December 31, 2004. |
| Operating Leases |
|
We lease several facilities under operating leases expiring through 2005. Certain leases require us to pay increases in real estate taxes, operating costs and repairs over certain base year amounts. Lease payments for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $304,000, $1,030,000 and $1,837,000, respectively. These amounts are inclusive of rent expense that was related to our discontinued VS and AV operations. Future minimum rental commitments under all non-cancelable leases are as follows: |
| Year Ending December 31 | ||||
| 2005 | $ | 242,711 | ||
| Capital Lease Obligations |
|
We lease certain equipment under non-cancelable lease agreements. These leases are accounted for as capital leases. The equipment under the capital leases as of December 31, 2004 had a cost of $258,110, accumulated depreciation of $79,761 and a net book value of $178,349. Future minimum lease payments under capital lease obligations at December 31, 2004 are as follows: |

| Legal Matters |

We are not currently defending any suit or claim. Note 13—Restructuring Charge During the year ended December 31, 2002, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring),” we recorded a restructuring charge of $960,000, of which $700,000 related to the discontinued VS operation. We recognized this charge in the period in which (a) management having the appropriate level of authority to involuntarily terminate employees approved and committed us to a plan of termination and established the benefits that current employees will receive upon termination, (b) the benefit arrangement was communicated to employees and the communication of the benefit arrangement included sufficient detail to enable employees to determine the type and amount of benefits they would receive if they were terminated, (c) the plan of termination specifically identified the number of employees to be terminated, their job |
43 |
|
classifications or functions, and their locations and (d) the plan of termination indicated that significant changes to the plan of termination are not likely. The significant components of the restructuring charge recorded as part of general and administrative expense are as follows: |
| Employee termination costs | $ | 500,000 | ||
| Facility exit costs | 460,000 | |||
| Restructuring costs related to discontinued VS operation | (700,000 | ) | ||
| $ | 260,000 | |||
|
The employee termination costs relate to 84 of our employees and officers terminated following the implementation of a cost savings plan. The facility exit costs relate to the closing or downsizing of 19 sales offices. The following table summarizes the activity against the restructuring charge: |

During the periods presented, we maintained a valuation allowance to offset the benefits of significant temporary tax differences due to the uncertainty of their realization. These deferred tax assets consist primarily of net operating losses, including losses of approximately $19.0 million carried forward in the VTI merger, reserves and allowances, and stock based compensation. If the tax benefits currently offset by valuation allowances are subsequently realized, approximately $7.2 million will be credited to goodwill because these tax benefits relate to VTI operations prior to the merger. In addition, approximately $3.2 million will be credited to additional paid-in capital because these tax benefits relate to the exercise of non-qualified stock options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options. We and our subsidiaries file federal returns on a consolidated basis and separate state tax returns. At December 31, 2004, we have net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards of approximately $88 million and $80 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The federal NOL’s have a carryover period of 20 years and are available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2024. The utilization of approximately $18 million in tax loss carry forwards is limited to approximately $2.6 million each year as a result of an “ownership change” (as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), which occurred in 2000.

Note 16—Pension Plan On March 1, 1998 we adopted a 401(k) retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) plan covered substantially all employees who met minimum age and service requirements. The 401(k) plan was non-contributory on our part. Effective with the merger with VTI, we assumed the 401(k) Plan of VTI, combined its assets with those of the existing plan and began making contributions to the plan. Employer contributions to the 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $26,000, $77,000 and $115,000, respectively. Note 17—Related Parties We receive financial and tax services from an accounting firm in which one of our directors, Dean Hiltzik, is a partner. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we incurred fees for these services of approximately $23,000, $24,000 and $33,000, respectively. We also entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Hiltzik, dated January 2, 2001, for the provision of tax and financial services for one year. Mr. Hiltzik received an immediately vested option to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.94 per share pursuant to that agreement. |

Note 19—Subsequent Events In March 2005, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with several unrelated institutional investors in connection with the offering of (i) an aggregate of 6,766,667 shares of our common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,706,667 shares of our common stock. We received proceeds from the sale of these shares and warrants equal to approximately $10.15 million, less our expenses relating to the sale, which were approximately $760,500, a portion of which represents investment advisory fees totaling $710,500 to Burnham Hill Partners, our financial advisor. The warrants that were issued are exercisable for a five-year term and have an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The warrants may be exercised by cash payment of the exercise price or by “cashless exercise.” |
