GLOWPOINT,
INC.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2005
Note
1 — The Business
Glowpoint,
Inc. (“Glowpoint” or “we” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, provides
comprehensive video communications services. Prior to 2004, Glowpoint, then
known as Wire One Technologies, Inc., sold substantially all of the assets
of
its video solutions (VS) business to an affiliate of Gores Technology Group
(Gores) and accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include such operations (See Note 6). Our services include
IP-based and ISDN-based videoconferencing services, which are provided
principally on a subscription basis, and managed bridging conferencing services
for multi-point video and audio communications among three or more participants.
We also provide hosting, IP-based broadcasting and event services.
On
April
20, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Tandberg, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Tandberg ASA (OSLO: TAA.OL), a global provider of visual
communications solutions. As part of the agreement, we acquired for $1.00
certain assets and the customer base of Tandberg owned Network Systems LLC.
Network Systems customers, primarily ISDN-based video users, obtained immediate
access to our video bridging and webcasting services. As part of the agreement,
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 were subsequently consolidated into new agreements with these carriers.
For accounting purposes, such commitments did not result in any additional
asset
or liability recognition. Tandberg named the GlowPoint Certified Program as
a
recognized external testing partner for its hardware and software products.
The
transaction was accounted for following purchase accounting under Statement
of
Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”. The
fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were nominal.
Accordingly, we did not record any value of intangible assets acquired. Results
of operations of the acquired business are included in the accompanying
financial statements from April 20, 2004, the date of acquisition. The following
pro forma information for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 gives effect
to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2004:

Note
2 — Basis of Presentation
Our
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations
of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all
of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals and the restatement adjustments-see Note 3) considered necessary for
a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months
and
three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative
of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For
further information, refer to the restated consolidated financial statements
and
footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 as filed with
the
Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to Form 8-K on March 17, 2006.
The
condensed 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.
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we
will
continue as a going concern. We incurred a loss from operations of $12.1 million
and $4.2 million for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2005,
respectively and of $11.2 million and $4.0 million for the nine months and
three
months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. We had net cash used in
operations of $9.2 million and $9.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At September 30, 2005, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $6.2 million, working capital of $1.9 million and an accumulated
deficit of $155.7 million. We continue to sustain losses and negative cash
flows
from operations. In March 2006, we commenced a restructuring of our business
(see Note 10). In April 2006, we issued senior secured convertible notes and
warrants and raised net proceeds of $5.6 million. We believe that our available
working capital at September 30, 2005, together with our operating activities
and the April 2006 financing will enable us to continue as a going concern
through September 30, 2006.
Note
3— Restatement
We
have
identified errors in previously reported consolidated financial statements
and
have restated our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004
and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months
and
three months ended September 30, 2004 and cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December
31,
2004 has been derived from the audited restated financial statements filed
as an
exhibit to our Report on Form 8-K on March 17, 2006. The restatements in the
statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (the “2004
period”) and for the three months ended September 30, 2004 (the “2004 quarter”)
relate to the following matters (the items described below will not aggregate
the total amount of the restatement):
Revenues
-
Revenues were increased $12,000 for the 2004 period and reduced by $2,000 for
the 2004 quarter. We have deferred the recognition of revenue associated with
installation services from 2002 and 2003 and amortized it over a 24 month period
(the estimated average life of a subscription based customer). Previously,
we
recognized such installation revenue at the time such services were completed.
This change had the impact of increasing revenues by $126,000 for the 2004
period and $56,000 for the 2004 quarter. The increases were offset by a
reduction related to sales taxes of $55,000 for the 2004 period and $34,000
for
the 2004 quarter and a reclassification of $45,000 to other income for the
2004
period and for the 2004 quarter.
5
Cost
of revenues
- Cost
of revenues was increased by $2,381,000 for the 2004 period and $805,000 for
the
2004 quarter. For the 2004 period, $1,619,000, and for the 2004 quarter,
$505,000 was erroneously capitalized as property and equipment rather than
being
charged to cost of revenues in the period. We recomputed the amount of our
network costs allocated to cost of revenues, research and development, sales
and
marketing and general and administrative expenses to properly reflect costs
associated with the various departments that used the internal network. This
resulted in increases to cost of revenues of $260,000 for the 2004 period and
$72,000 for the 2004 quarter. Depreciation expense of $223,000 for the 2004
period and $65,000 for the 2004 quarter previously allocated to sales and
marketing and general and administrative expenses has been reclassified to
cost
of revenues. Additionally, we recomputed the amount of certain circuit costs
that were allocated to Gores and previously charged to the sale of the VS
business and have decreased the amount allocated by $344,000 for the 2004 period
and $89,000 for the 2004 quarter. Cost of revenues was increased by $166,000
for
the 2004 period and $95,000 for the 2004 quarter to properly reflect
installation costs. Cost of revenues was decreased by $118,000 for the 2004
period and $56,000 for the 2004 quarter to apply credits from telecommunications
carriers to the appropriate periods. Cost of revenues was reduced $113,000
in
the 2004 period for costs incurred in 2003 that were previously recognized
in
the 2004 period.
Research
and development
-
Research and development expenses were decreased by $234,000 for the 2004 period
and by $51,000 for the 2004 quarter. The decreases reflect the reclassification
of $331,000 for the 2004 period and of $85,000 for the 2004 quarter of costs
to
general and administrative expenses. This reclassification was partially offset
by the proper allocation of depreciation expense and allocated network services
which increased expenses by $97,000 for the 2004 period and $33,000 for the
2004
quarter.
Sales
and marketing
- Sales
and marketing expenses, previously referred to as selling, were decreased by
$3,673,000 for the 2004 period and $1,187,000 for the 2004 quarter. The
decreases reflect the reclassification of $2,615,000 for the 2004 period and
$888,000 for the 2004 quarter of costs to general and administrative expenses.
Sales commissions and bonuses were reduced by $66,000 for the 2004 period for
costs that should have been expensed prior to the 2004 period. To reflect a
proper allocation of network costs to sales and marketing expense we have
recorded a reduction of $648,000 for the 2004 period and $201,000 for the 2004
quarter. Sales and marketing costs have been reduced by $377,000 for the 2004
period and $114,000 for the 2004 quarter relating to improper commission
accruals.
General
and administrative
-
General and administrative expenses were increased by $2,441,000 for the 2004
period and $912,000 for the 2004 quarter. We have reclassified to general and
administrative expenses $2,946,000 for the 2004 period and $973,000 for the
2004
quarter of costs that were previously classified as selling and research and
development, which relate principally to customer service, engineering and
other
operating expenses. Depreciation expense was reduced by $1,433,000 for the
2004
period and $491,000 for the 2004 quarter reflecting the reduction of fixed
assets and a reclassification of depreciation expense. The re-allocation of
network costs between cost of revenues, research and development, sales and
marketing and general and administrative expenses resulted in an increase of
$354,000 for the 2004 period and $118,000 for the 2004 quarter in general and
administrative expenses. Expenses were also increased for professional fees
of
$228,000 for the 2004 period and $120,000 for the 2004 quarter incurred in
connection with the Gores arbitration, which had previously been charged to
the
loss on the sale of the VS business to Gores. We recognized additional expense
of $196,000 for the 2004 period and $69,000 for the 2004 quarter relating to
sales taxes. Bad debt expense was increased by $64,000 for the 2004
quarter.
Other
(income) expense
- Other
expense for the 2004 period of $4,503,000 was reduced by $711,000, which
resulted in other expense of $3,792,000. Other expense as previously reported
of
$23,000 for the 2004 quarter was adjusted by $136,000, which resulted in other
income of $113,000. A gain of $53,000 previously recognized in the 2004 period
and a loss of $116,000 in the 2004 quarter have been reversed to properly
account for marketable securities which were received in 2003 and sold in
September 2004. As a result of correcting the accounting for the issuance of
the
subordinated convertible debentures, we reduced the amortization of the related
discount by $515,000 and recognized additional amortization of deferred
financing costs of $363,000 for the 2004 period. We had previously overstated
the discount by $1,489,000, which was partially offset by overstating
amortization by $989,000 as of January 1, 2004, due to the overstatement of
the
discount and by following the straight line method of amortizing the discount
rather than the effective yield method. As a result of correcting the accounting
for the exchange of the subordinated convertible debentures for Series B
convertible preferred stock, warrants and a modification to warrants, we reduced
the loss on the exchange of debt by $611,000 for the 2004 period. We had
previously recognized a loss on the exchange of $1,354,000, which included
the
excess of the fair value of the common stock underlying the Series B convertible
preferred stock of $5,499,000 over the face amount of the subordinated
convertible debentures of $4,888,000 in the loss on exchange. However, the
subordinated convertible debentures were convertible into the same number of
shares of common stock as the Series B convertible preferred stock and,
accordingly, had the same fair value. The loss on the exchange has been reduced
to $743,000, representing the fair value of the shares of common stock and
the
incremental fair value from the warrant modification, which were included in
the
exchange.

4 — Stock-Based Compensation
We
periodically grant stock options to employees and directors 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. Statement of Financial Standards (“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, and SFAS No. 148 “Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” which requires
disclosure of the pro forma effects on our net loss attributable to common
stockholders and the related per share amounts as if SFAS No. 123 had been
adopted as well as certain other information.
7
The
fair
value of stock options or warrants issued in return for services rendered by
non-employees is accounted for using the fair value based method. The following
table illustrates the effect on net loss attributable to common stockholders
and
net loss per share for the nine months and three months ended September 30,
2005
and 2004 if the fair value based method had been applied to all

During
the third quarter of 2004 we modified certain options to extend their life
upon
future separation of employment, which occurred during the second quarter of
2005. The above table reflects the pro forma expense for the fair value of
the
modification in the third quarter of 2004. The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements included in our June 30, 2005 Form 10-Q reflected this
pro
forma expense in the second quarter of 2005. The revised stock-based employee
compensation expense determined under the fair value based method was $847,000
and $408,000 for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2005,
respectively. The revised pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders
was $9,552,000 and $4,523,000 for the six and three month periods ended June
30,
2005, respectively.
The
weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months
and three months ended September 30, 2005 were $1.10 and $0.99, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine
months and three months ended September 30, 2004 were $1.06 and $1.00,
respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of 190,000 shares
of
restricted common stock granted during the nine months ended September 30,
2004
was $2.01. The fair value of our stock-based option awards to employees was

5 — Loss Per Share
Basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share for the nine months and
three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is the same as basic loss per
share. Potential shares of common stock associated with 14,616,000 and
12,345,000 outstanding options and warrants and 1,301,000 and 2,080,000 shares
issuable upon the conversion of our Series B convertible preferred stock as
of
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, have been excluded from the diluted
calculations because the effects would be antidilutive.

Note
6 — Sale of VS Business
In
September 2003, we completed the sale of all of the assets of our VS business
to
Gores pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement dated as of June
10,
2003. The total consideration payable to us under the agreement was up to $24
million, consisting of $21 million in cash, of which $19 million was payable
as
of closing ($335,000 was placed in an escrow account) and $2 million was held
back by Gores to cover potential purchase price adjustments, an unsecured $1
million promissory note maturing on December 31, 2004 and bearing interest
at 5%
per annum and up to $2 million in earn-out payments based on performance of
the
assets over the two years following the closing. As partial consideration for
the purchase of assets, Gores also assumed certain liabilities related to the
VS
business, including (1) all liabilities to be paid or performed after the
closing date that arose 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
business.
Pursuant
to 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 certain of our competitors identified in the agreement.
The
agreement further provided that Gores could acquire an identified competitor
upon payment to us of a one-time fee of $5 million. In November 2004, Gores
acquired V-SPAN, Inc., which was one of the identified competitors.
Following
the closing of the sale to Gores, we were unable to reach agreement with Gores
on the amount, if any, of the adjustment to be made to the purchase price,
which
was based on the net assets, as defined, of the VS business sold to Gores as
of
June 30, 2003. Consequently, we entered into arbitration with Gores in July
2004, with PriceWaterhouseCoopers as the arbitrator. In January 2005, the
arbitrator concluded that the net assets of the VS business sold to Gores should
be reduced by $4.3 million.
In
March
2005, we entered into a settlement agreement with Gores, resolving the
outstanding disputes between the companies relating to the sale of the VS
business, various payables between the companies 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. We will not receive any payments under the earn-out provision
in
the agreement.
We
originally accounted for the arbitrator’s ruling and settlement agreement with
Gores as settlements of a contingency which became known prior to the issuance
of the December 31, 2004 financial statements. Therefore, although the sale
to
Gores closed during 2003, we deferred recognition of the related gain until
December 31, 2004. The arbitrator’s adjustment of $4,340,000 related to the
correction of specific financial reporting errors that should have adjusted
prior period financial statements rather than being charged to the gain on
the
sale of the VS business.
The
ultimate settlement of amounts due to/from Gores that arose subsequent to the
transaction closing date and unrelated to the sale transaction, including
$293,000 and $77,000 of revenues that we recognized during the nine months
and
three months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, were previously deferred
in
the determination of the loss on the sale. The restated condensed consolidated
financial statements exclude these amounts from the sale transaction, and a
gain
from the settlement of these items of $379,000 has been recognized during the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, when the settlement was reached with
Gores.
In
addition, we have become aware of several other accounting errors whereby items
unrelated to the sale of the VS business to Gores were inappropriately charged
to the loss on the sale. We have determined that the matters addressed in the
arbitrator ruling and the other corrections represent accounting errors.
Accordingly, the accompanying restated financial statements reflect these items
as corrections of errors prior to 2004 and the gain or loss on the transaction
has been accounted for upon the closing in 2003. Pursuant to the settlement
agreement with Gores in 2005, each party was released from amounts due to the
other beyond the payment by Gores of $2,750,000 and the release of the escrowed
cash to us. Accordingly, we recognized the gain on settlement.

Note
7—
Bank Loan Payable
In
February 2004, we terminated a working capital credit facility with JPMorgan
Chase. As a result of the termination of this facility, we wrote off $85,000
of
unamortized deferred financing costs to expense in the nine months ended
September 30, 2004.
Note
8 —
Stockholder’s Equity
In
January 2004, in exchange for the cancellation and termination of convertible
debentures with an aggregate face value of $4,888,000 and forfeiture of any
and
all rights of collection, claim or demand under the debentures, we agreed to
give the holders of the debentures: (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 unamortized discount on subordinated debentures and deferred
financing costs were written off to expense, resulting in amortization of
discount of $2,650,000 and amortization of deferred financing costs of $363,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Additionally, we recognized a
$743,000 loss on the exchange. The investors have anti-dilution rights. As
a
result of the February 2004 and March 2005 financings, the conversion price
of
the Series B convertible preferred stock and the exercise price of the warrants
have been adjusted to $2.22 and $2.47, respectively and we recognized deemed
dividends of $115,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The
corresponding amount in the 2004 period was nominal.
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. We also issued warrants
to the investors in the private placement to purchase 1,830,000 shares of our
common stock 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 and as a result of the March 2005 financing, the
exercise price was reduced to $2.60 (the incremental fair value was nominal).
We
also issued to our placement agent five and a half year warrants to purchase
427,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.71 per share with
an
estimated fair value of $895,000. As a result of the March 2005 financing,
the
exercise price was reduced to $2.60
The
registration rights agreement for the February 2004 financing provides for
liquidated damages of 3% of the aggregate purchase price for the first month
and
1.5% for each subsequent month if we failed to register the common stock and
the
shares of common stock underlying the warrants or maintain the effectiveness
of
such registration. We account for the registration rights agreement as a
separate freestanding instrument and account for the liquidated damages
provision as a derivative liability subject to SFAS No. 133. The estimated
fair
value of the derivative liability is based on estimates of the probability
and
costs expected to be incurred and such estimates are revalued at each balance
sheet date with changes in value recorded as other income or expense.
Approximately $1,164,000 of the proceeds of the financing was attributed to
the
estimated fair value of the derivative liability. We estimated the fair value
of
the derivative liability to be $1,413,000 as of September 30, 2005 and
$1,298,000 as of December 31, 2004. We recognized other expense of $88,000
and
$45,000 for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2004,
respectively and $114,000 and $33,000 for the nine months and three months
ended
September 30, 2005, respectively.
In
March
2005, we raised net proceeds of $9.4 million in a private placement of 6,766,667
shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share. Investors in the private
placement were also issued warrants to purchase 2,706,667 shares of common
stock
at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The warrants expire five years after
the closing date. The warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution protection.
In
March
2005, 83.333 shares of our outstanding Series B convertible preferred stock
and
accrued dividends of $183,000 were exchanged for 1,333,328 shares of our common
stock and warrants to purchase 533,331 shares of our common stock with an
aggregate fair value of $1,350,000. We recognized deemed dividends of $1,167,000
during the 2005 period in connection with the warrants and a reduced conversion
price, which were offered as an inducement to convert.
Note
9 — Other Matters
In
April
2005, we amended our operating lease for our Hillside, New Jersey office to
extend the term of the lease through April 2007. At such time, we also increased
the square feet under lease. Payments under the amended lease aggregate
$145,000, $218,000 and $73,000 for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2006
and
2007, respectively, excluding operating costs.
10
Note
10 — Subsequent Events
In
March
2006, we implemented a corporate restructuring plan designed to reduce certain
operating, sales and marketing and general and administrative costs. As part
of
the strategic initiative, we implemented management changes, including the
promotion of Michael Brandofino to Chief Operating Officer with principal
responsibility for the implementation and management of the restructuring plan.
Gerard Dorsey, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since
December 2004, left Glowpoint in April 2006 to pursue other opportunities.
In
April 2006, Mr. Brandofino was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer
and a member of the Board of Directors and Ed Heinen was appointed Chief
Financial Officer.
In
April
2006, we issued senior secured convertible notes and warrants in a private
placement to private investors. In the transaction, we issued $6.18 million
aggregate principal amount of our 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, Series
A
warrants to purchase 6,180,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of
$0.65 per share and Series B warrants to purchase 6,180,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants are subject to
certain anti-dilutive protection. The Series B warrants only become exercisable
if we fail to achieve positive operating income, determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, excluding restructuring and non-cash
charges, in the fourth quarter of 2006. In addition, the Series B warrants
will
be cancelled if we consummate a strategic transaction or repay the Notes prior
to the date we make our financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2006
available to the public. We also agreed to change the exercise price of all
previously issued warrants held by the investors in this offering to $0.65,
and
to extend the term of any such warrants that would expire earlier than three
years after the offering date. Our
costs
related to the issuance of the notes were approximately $0.58 million, a portion
of which represents placement fees of $0.5 million to
Burnham Hill Partners, our placement agent. In addition, we
issued to Burnham Hill Partners placement agent warrants to
purchase 618,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per
share. The
$5.6
million net proceeds of the offering will be used to support our corporate
restructuring program and for working capital.
The
Notes
bear interest at 10% per annum, mature on September 30, 2007 and are convertible
into common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share. The Series A and
Series B warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years.
We
are
currently evaluating the accounting treatment of this transaction, including
consideration of applicable accounting standards for derivative
instruments. We are also evaluating the effect on the conversion price of
our Series B convertible preferred stock and the exercise price of outstanding
warrants that are subject to anti-dilution adjustments occasioned by this
transaction. Reductions to the conversion price and exercise prices may
result in deemed dividend treatment.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
|
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
The
discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any
conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in the
future.
The
statements contained herein, other than historical information, are or may
be
deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and involve factors, risks and uncertainties
that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from
such statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties, include market
acceptance and availability of new video communications services; the
non-exclusive and terminable at-will nature of sales agent agreements; rapid
technological change affecting demand for our services; competition from other
video communication service providers; and the availability of sufficient
financial resources to enable us to expand our operations.
Overview
Glowpoint,
Inc. ("Glowpoint" or "we" or "us"), a Delaware corporation, provides
comprehensive video communications services over its carrier-grade IP-based
subscriber network enabling users to connect across the United States, as well
as to business centers around the world. Prior to 2004, Glowpoint, then known
as
Wire One Technologies, Inc., sold substantially all of the assets of its video
solutions (VS) business to an affiliate of Gores Technology Group (Gores).
See
Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further
information.
11
On
April
20, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Tandberg, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Tandberg ASA (OSLO:TAA.OL), a global provider of visual
communications solutions. As part of the agreement, we acquired for $1.00
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, obtained immediate access to our video bridging and
webcasting services. As part of the agreement, 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 contractual commitments with AT&T, MCI
and Sprint from Network Systems, which were subsequently consolidated into
new
agreements with these carriers. Tandberg named the Glowpoint Certified Program
as a recognized external testing partner for its hardware and software
products.
In
March
2005, we entered into a strategic alliance with Sony Electronics, Inc. to
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. Initially the relationship focused on creating
a unique video experience for Sony customers by "private labeling" Glowpoint's
features and services for Sony. The two companies launched a number of
initiatives including broadcast solutions and an internet based video service
called IVE (an acronym for Instant Video Everywhere). We developed and own
IVE,
but branded it for Sony as part of this initiative. In March 2006 Glowpoint
and
Sony modified and renewed their agreements to limit the focus to providing
solutions for the broadcast market, which the parties believe has the most
promise for near-term success.
In
February 2006, we signed a separate agreement with Sony of Canada Ltd. to
promote and resell our services, including the IVE video service. The IVE
video
service is now branded "Glowpoint's IVE."
On
March
7, 2005, we announced a settlement agreement with Gores, resolving the
outstanding disputes relating to the sale of the assets of our VS business
to
Gores in September 2003. The agreement also covered Gores' acquisition of V-SPAN
Inc. in November 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, Gores
paid us $2.75 million and released to us the $335,000 that was escrowed at
the
closing of the asset sale. Also as part of the settlement, we dismissed our
lawsuit against Gores relating to the V-SPAN acquisition.
On
March
14, 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 period
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."
Restatement
and related matters
On
June
2, 2005, we dismissed our independent accounting firm, BDO Seidman LLP, for
geographic reasons, and retained the independent accounting firm of Eisner
LLP.
In the course of its initial assessment of our December 31, 2004 balance sheet,
Eisner raised certain issues relating to property and equipment. Our internal
accounting team looked into the matter and subsequently concluded, on a
preliminary basis, that the costs associated with certain purchases of
videoconferencing equipment for resale and certain other operating costs that
represented cost of revenue had erroneously been capitalized as property and
equipment.
These
preliminary conclusions were discussed at a meeting of our board of directors
on
July 21, 2005. At that meeting, our Audit Committee determined to undertake
an
independent investigation of the matter. Following that meeting, our internal
accounting team conducted a further review of the audited financial statements
for 2002 through 2004 and held several discussions with our former CFO. Based
on
these discussions, on August 2, 2005, we concluded that our financial statements
for fiscal years 2002 through 2004 (and the related quarters) and the quarter
ended March 31, 2005 needed to be restated and should no longer be relied
upon.
We
requested that BDO Seidman audit our restated consolidated financial statements
for fiscal years 2002 through 2004 and review our condensed consolidated
financial statements for the applicable inclusive interim periods and the
quarter ended March 31, 2005, which BDO Seidman declined. We have restated
our
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and for the year
then
ended and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the
interim periods within 2004, which have been filed as an exhibit to our Report
on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17,
2006.
We have also restated our condensed consolidated financial statements as of
March 31, 2005 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, which
have been filed on Form 10-Q/A with the Commission on March 22, 2006. We have
described the specific impact of the restatement on the interim nine months
and
three months ended September 30, 2004 in the more detailed discussion
below.
12
Our
internal accounting team is working diligently to complete our fiscal 2005
results. Restating financial statements for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 will
require significant additional time and resources, primarily because of the
following reasons:
· During
2003, we completed the sale of our VS business to Gores. As part of the sale,
we
transferred four data communication servers which contained various documents
and audit support workpapers associated with the books and records of the VS
business for all periods prior to the sale. We did not retain backups of the
information on those servers and we just recently received data downloads from
such servers. Gores was only able to locate three of the four servers
transferred.
· We
may
not be able to quantify inventory in periods prior to 2004. Effective with
the
sale to Gores, we no longer owned any inventory and BDO Seidman was the only
auditor who observed the physical inventory counts that affect those periods.
To
date, we have not been able to verify such inventory amounts, which will be
necessary in order to complete a restatement of our consolidated financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003. We will take all
available actions to gain access to the BDO Seidman workpapers.
At
this
time, we cannot determine whether the resolution of the above items will enable
us to restate fiscal years 2002 and 2003 in a reasonable amount of time or
at
all.
Audit
Committee Investigation.
The
Audit Committee commenced its independent investigation following the July
21,
2005 board meeting. The Audit Committee hired independent counsel, the law
firm
of Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman LLP, to conduct the investigation. Kronish
Lieb retained a forensic audit firm, Alix Partners LLP, to assist in the
investigation. The investigation was concluded in late September 2005 and found
that expenses associated with services provided to and equipment purchased
by
customers during 2001 through 2003 were improperly capitalized as additions
to
our fixed assets, and that such practices affected our 2001 through 2004
financial statements. The Audit Committee investigation also found that, during
the same period, some of the amounts associated with practices described in
the
preceding sentence were written off in subsequent accounting journal entries
that were themselves improper, and that similarly improper additions to our
fixed assets continued even after such write-offs had occurred. Our prior CFO,
who participated in these practices and under whose supervision they occurred,
left Glowpoint in April 2005 after the planned relocation of the finance
department from New Hampshire to our headquarters in New Jersey. In addition
to
issues affecting fixed assets, the investigation found that during the relevant
period, we lacked adequate internal accounting controls. Finally, the
investigation identified certain areas that warrant further review, including
past revenue recognition practices when we were a reseller of videoconferencing
equipment, costs allocated to the accounting associated with the Gores
transaction and internal reallocation of communication costs.
As
noted
above, the Audit Committee investigation found that during the relevant periods
being restated, we lacked adequate internal controls. A material weakness in
internal controls is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected. We believe that a material weakness in our internal controls arose
as the result of aggregating several significant deficiencies, including:
inadequate review and approval of journal entries in the financial statement
preparation process and a lack of supporting documentation and assumptions
used
therein, an insufficient number of technical accounting and public company
reporting personnel in the finance department, the absence of a formal monthly
closing process and subsequent formal reporting of monthly financial statements
and account variance analysis. Additionally, our finance office was located
in
New Hampshire and our headquarters was located in New Jersey.
The
Audit
Committee investigation further found that our current management has instituted
improved internal accounting controls, including relocation and restaffing
of
the finance organization to our headquarters in April 2005. Our restaffing
included a corporate Controller who has over 25 years experience in public
and
private company reporting, has earned his CPA and became our CFO in April 2006.
We also instituted a formal monthly closing process, including account analysis,
oversight of all closing processes, formal monthly review of the financial
statements and the implementation of monthly written reports to the Board of
Directors. We are continuing to evaluate and improve our internal control
procedures, where applicable.
13
SEC
Inquiry.
On
August 2, 2005, we contacted the Securities and Exchange Commission to notify
it
of our determination to restate our financial statements. On August 3, 2005,
the
SEC notified us that it was conducting an informal inquiry into our reported
accounting issues. The SEC has met with our outside counsel as well as counsel
to the Audit Committee. The SEC also sent us a document production request
on
October 27, 2005, and we responded to the request on November 14, 2005. The
SEC
has also recently contacted our former CFO and BDO Seidman LLP, our former
independent accounting firm.
Delisting.
On
August 16, 2005, we received a letter from the Nasdaq National Market indicating
that our common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq because of our failure
to
timely file our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. We requested
and
were granted a hearing to seek a conditional listing exception. The hearing
occurred on September 15, 2005. On October 3, 2005, the Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel notified us that our common stock would be delisted from
the Nasdaq National Market effective with the open of business on October 5,
2005. Our common stock now trades over the counter in the pink sheets under
the
symbol "GLOW.PK".

Revenues
-
Revenues increased $1.4 million, or 12%, in the 2005 period to $13.2 million
from $11.8 million in the 2004 period. Subscription and related revenue (which
includes contractual revenue related to the Network Services customer base,
formerly known as NuVision) increased $0.6 million, or 8%, in the 2005 period
to
$8.2 million from $7.6 million in the 2004 period. Contractual revenue related
to the Network Services customer base was $0.2 million in both the 2005 period
and the 2004 period. We began receiving revenue from this customer base when
we
acquired it from Tandberg, Inc. in April 2004. Non-subscription revenue
consisting of bridging, events and other one-time fees increased $0.8 million,
or 20%, in the 2005 period to $4.9 million from $4.1 million in the 2004 period.
The growth in non-subscription revenue was the result of an increase of $0.7
million in revenue from the Network Services customer base in the 2005 period
from the 2004 period. Revenues for the 2005 quarter increased $0.2 million,
or
4%, to $4.6 million from $4.4 million in the 2004 quarter. Subscription and
related revenue increased $.3 million, or 10%, in the 2005 quarter to $2.9
million from $2.6 million in the 2004 quarter. Non-subscription revenue
consisting of bridging events and other one-time fees decreased $0.1 million,
or
3%, in the 2005 quarter to $1.7 million from $1.8 million in the 2004 quarter.
This decrease was caused by a reduction in revenue from the Network Services
customer base.
Restatement
Impact - Revenues
-
Revenues were increased $12,000 for the 2004 period and reduced by $2,000 for
the 2004 quarter. We have deferred the recognition of revenue associated with
installation services from 2002 and 2003 and amortized it over a 24 month period
(the estimated average life of a subscription based customer). Previously,
we
recognized such installation revenue at the time such services were completed.
This change had the impact of increasing revenues by $126,000 for the 2004
period and $56,000 for the 2004 quarter. The increases were offset by a
reduction related to sales taxes of $55,000 for the 2004 period and $34,000
for
the 2004 quarter and a reclassification of $45,000 to other income for the
2004
period and for the 2004 quarter.
Cost
of revenues
-
Cost
of
revenues for the 2005 period decreased $0.5 million, or 4%, to $11.4 million
from $11.9 million in the 2004 period. Cost of revenues decreased $0.5 million,
or 13%, in the 2005 quarter to $3.7 million from $4.2 million in the 2004
quarter. The decline in costs as a percentage of revenue in the 2005 period
and
the 2005 quarter is the result of the renegotiation of rates, the migration
of
service to lower cost providers where possible and a reduction of $166,000
to
reflect a vendor credit relating to a second quarter of 2005 billing dispute.
For the 2005 period, additional revenue associated with the Network Services
customer base, which began in the second quarter of 2004, resulted in increased
gross margins. This additional revenue caused our gross margin to increase
to
13.6% in the 2005 period (12.3% excluding the credit) from a negative 0.9%
in
the 2004 period. The additional revenue also caused our gross margin to increase
to 19.4% (15.7% excluding the credit) in the 2005 quarter from 3.3% in the
2004
quarter. The rate of increase in our gross margin percentage is not indicative
of results expected to be achieved in subsequent periods.
Restatement
Impact - Cost of revenues
- Cost
of revenues was increased by $2,381,000 for the 2004 period and $805,000 for
the
2004 quarter. For the 2004 period, $1,619,000, and for the 2004 quarter,
$505,000 was erroneously capitalized as property and equipment rather than
being
charged to cost of revenues in the period. We recomputed the amount of our
network costs allocated to cost of revenues, research and development, sales
and
marketing and general and administrative expenses to properly reflect costs
associated with the various departments that used the internal network. This
resulted in increases to cost of revenues of $260,000 for the 2004 period and
$72,000 for the 2004 quarter. Depreciation expense of $223,000 for the 2004
period and $65,000 for the 2004 quarter previously allocated to sales and
marketing and general and administrative expenses has been reclassified to
cost
of revenues. Additionally, we recomputed the amount of certain circuit costs
that were allocated to Gores and previously charged to the sale of the VS
business and have decreased the amount allocated by $344,000 for the 2004 period
and $89,000 for the 2004 quarter. Cost of revenues was increased by $166,000
for
the 2004 period and $95,000 for the 2004 quarter to properly reflect
installation costs. Cost of revenues was decreased by $118,000 for the 2004
period and $56,000 for the 2004 quarter to apply credits from telecommunications
carriers to the appropriate periods. Cost of revenues was reduced $113,000
in
the 2004 period for costs incurred in 2003 that were previously recognized
in
the 2004 period.
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 by $0.1 million in the 2005 period to $0.9 million from
$0.8
million in the 2004 period. The increase was a result of increased usage of
outside contractors to meet the demand for application development in
conjunction with new product development for us and certain of our partners.
Research and development expense was $0.3 million for the 2005 quarter and
2004
quarter. Research and development expense as a percentage of revenue was 6.8%
for the 2005 period, 6.8% for the 2004 period, 7.0% for the 2005 quarter and
7.1% for the 2004 quarter.
15
Restatement
Impact - Research and development
-
Research and development expenses were decreased by $234,000 for the 2004 period
and by $51,000 for the 2004 quarter. The decreases reflect the reclassification
of $331,000 for the 2004 period and of $85,000 for the 2004 quarter of costs
to
general and administrative expenses. This reclassification was partially offset
by the proper allocation of depreciation expense and allocated network services
which increased expenses by $97,000 for the 2004 period and $33,000 for the
2004
quarter.
Sales
and marketing
- Sales
and marketing expenses, which include sales salaries, commissions, overhead
and
marketing costs, increased $1.0 million in the 2005 period to $3.2 million
from
$2.2 million in the 2004 period. The primary causes of the increase in costs
for
the 2005 period were a $0.5 million increase in salaries, benefits and travel
costs resulting from the addition of a direct sales force of 11 employees and
an
increase of $0.3 million in marketing expense associated with a sales lead
generation program and other initiatives. Sales and marketing expenses increased
$0.1 million to $1.0 million for the 2005 quarter from $0.9 million for the
2004
quarter. The primary causes of the increase in costs for the 2005 quarter were
an increase in salaries, benefits and travel costs. Sales and marketing expense,
as a percentage of revenue, was 24.0% for the 2005 period, 18.6% for the 2004
period, 22.2% for the 2005 quarter and 21.2% for the 2004 quarter.
Restatement
Impact - Sales and marketing
- Sales
and marketing expenses, previously referred to as selling, were decreased by
$3,673,000 for the 2004 period and $1,187,000 for the 2004 quarter. The
decreases reflect the reclassification of $2,615,000 for the 2004 period and
$888,000 for the 2004 quarter of costs to general and administrative expenses.
Sales commissions and bonuses were reduced by $66,000 for the 2004 period for
costs that should have been expensed prior to the 2004 period. To reflect a
proper allocation of network costs to sales and marketing expense we have
recorded a reduction of $648,000 for the 2004 period and $201,000 for the 2004
quarter. Sales and marketing costs have been reduced by $377,000 for the 2004
period and $114,000 for the 2004 quarter relating to improper commission
accruals.
General
and administrative
-
General and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million in the 2005 period
to
$9.8 million from $8.1 million in the 2004 period. The primary components of
the
increase were $1.1 million in salaries and benefits related to executive
management and increased staffing levels, $0.8 million for professional fees
incurred in connection with the restatement of our financial statements and
the
related audit committee investigation and $0.2 million for increased equipment
rentals. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $0.4 in
consulting fees. General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million
to
$3.7 million for the 2005 quarter from $2.9 million for the 2004 quarter.
Professional fees incurred in connection with the restatement of our financial
statements and the related audit committee investigation resulted in an increase
of $0.8 million and salaries and benefits related to executive management and
increased staffing levels increased $0.3 million in the 2005 quarter. These
increases were partially offset by reductions of $0.2 million in consulting
fees. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 74.7%
in the 2005 period, 69.1% in the 2004 period, 81.6% in the 2005 quarter and
65.5% in the 2004 quarter.
Restatement
Impact - General and administrative
-
General and administrative expenses were increased by $2,441,000 for the 2004
period and $912,000 for the 2004 quarter. We have reclassified to general and
administrative expenses $2,946,000 for the 2004 period and $973,000 for the
2004
quarter of costs that were previously classified as selling and research and
development, which relate principally to customer service, engineering and
other
operating expenses. Depreciation expense was reduced by $1,433,000 for the
2004
period and $491,000 for the 2004 quarter reflecting the reduction of fixed
assets and a reclassification of depreciation expense. The re-allocation of
network costs between cost of revenues, research and development, sales and
marketing and general and administrative expenses resulted in an increase of
$354,000 for the 2004 period and $118,000 for the 2004 quarter in general and
administrative expenses. Expenses were also increased for professional fees
of
$228,000 for the 2004 period and $120,000 for the 2004 quarter incurred in
connection with the Gores arbitration, which had previously been charged to
the
loss on the sale of the VS business to Gores. We recognized additional expense
of $196,000 for the 2004 period and $69,000 for the 2004 quarter relating to
sales taxes. Bad debt expense was increased by $64,000 for the 2004
quarter.
Other
(income) expense
- Other
income of $0.3 million for the 2005 period principally reflects a gain on the
settlement of an amount owed to Gores. Other expense of $3.8 million for the
2004 period principally reflects amortization of discount on convertible
debentures and related deferred financing costs and a loss on exchange of the
debentures for Series B convertible preferred stock, common stock and a
modification to warrants. Other income for the 2005 quarter reflects net
interest income and for the 2004 quarter reflects a gain on marketable
securities and an insurance claim payment.
16
Restatement
Impact - Other (income) expense
- Other
expense for the 2004 period of $4,503,000 was reduced by $711,000, which
resulted in other expense of $3,792,000. Other expense as previously reported
of
$23,000 for the 2004 quarter was adjusted by $136,000, which resulted in other
income of $113,000. A gain of $53,000 previously recognized in the 2004 period
and a loss of $116,000 in the 2004 quarter have been reversed to properly
account for marketable securities which were received in 2003 and sold in
September 2004. As a result of correcting the accounting for the issuance of
the
subordinated convertible debentures, we reduced the amortization of the related
discount by $515,000 and recognized additional amortization of deferred
financing costs of $363,000 for the 2004 period. We had previously overstated
the discount by $1,489,000, which was partially offset by overstating
amortization by $989,000 as of January 1, 2004, due to the overstatement of
the
discount and by following the straight line method of amortizing the discount
rather than the effective yield method. As a result of correcting the accounting
for the exchange of the subordinated convertible debentures for Series B
convertible preferred stock, warrants and a modification to warrants, we reduced
the loss on the exchange of debt by $611,000 for the 2004 period. We had
previously recognized a loss on the exchange of $1,354,000, which included
the
excess of the fair value of the common stock underlying the Series B convertible
preferred stock of $5,499,000 over the face amount of the subordinated
convertible debentures of $4,888,000 in the loss on exchange. However, the
subordinated convertible debentures were convertible into the same number of
shares of common stock as the Series B convertible preferred stock and,
accordingly, had the same fair value. The loss on the exchange has been reduced
to $743,000, representing the fair value of the shares of common stock and
the
incremental fair value from the warrant modification, which were included in
the
exchange.
Preferred
stock deemed dividends
- We
recognized deemed dividends of $1,167,000 for the 2005 period in connection
with
warrants and a reduced conversion price, which were offered as an inducement
to
convert our Series B convertible preferred stock. In addition, we recognized
deemed dividends of $115,000 in the 2005 period in connection with an
anti-dilution adjustment to the conversion price of our Series B convertible
preferred stock resulting from our March 2005 financing. There were no deemed
dividends previously reported.
Net
loss
- Net
loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $13.2 million, or $0.30
per basic and diluted share, in the 2005 period from $15.3 million, or $0.43
per
basic and diluted share, in the 2004 period. Net loss attributable to common
stockholders increased to $4.2 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share
in
the 2005 quarter, from $4.0 million in the 2004 quarter, or $0.09 per basic
and
diluted share, in the 2004 quarter.
Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is not a standard
financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP). EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative to net loss or cash flow from operating activities as a measure
of
liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of
performance derived in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is provided below to more
clearly present the financial results that management uses to internally
evaluate its business. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure allows
investors and management to evaluate and compare our operating results from
continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent
manner. The following table provides a reconciliation of the net loss
attributable to common stockholders to EBITDA from continuing
operations.

Liquidity
and capital resources
At
September 30, 2005, we had working capital of $1.9 million compared to $3.6
million at December 31, 2004, a decrease of approximately $1.7 million or 47%.
We had $6.2 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2005 compared
to $4.5 million at December 31, 2004. The $1.7 million increase in cash resulted
from the net proceeds from the March 2005 private placement of common stock
of
$9.4 million and the $2.7 million from the Gores settlement offset by the $9.2
million usage of cash in operations in the 2005 period and the purchase of
$1.2
million of property, equipment and leasehold improvements.
In
January 2004, in exchange for the cancellation and termination of convertible
debentures with an aggregate face value of $4,888,000 and forfeiture of any
and
all rights of collection, claim or demand under the debentures, we agreed to
give the holders of the debentures: (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.
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. We also issued warrants
to purchase 1,830,000 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 and as a result of the March 2005 financing,
the exercise price was reduced to $2.60 (the incremental fair value was
nominal). In addition, we issued to our placement agent five and a half year
warrants to purchase 427,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$2.71 per share.
In
February 2004, we terminated a $7.5 million revolving credit facility with
JPMorgan Chase.
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 period term
and
have an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The warrants are subject to certain
anti-dilution protection. The warrants may be exercised by cash payment of
the
exercise price or by “cashless exercise.”
In
April
2006, we issued senior secured convertible notes and warrants in a private
placement to private investors. In the transaction, we issued $6.18 million
aggregate principal amount of our 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, Series
A
warrants to purchase 6,180,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of
$0.65 per share and Series B warrants to purchase 6,180,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants are subject to
certain anti-dilution protection. The Series B warrants only become exercisable
if we fail to achieve positive operating income, determined in accordance with
GAAP, excluding restructuring and non-cash charges, in the fourth quarter of
2006. In addition, the Series B warrants will be cancelled if we consummate
a
strategic transaction or repay the Notes prior to the date we make our financial
statements for the fourth quarter of 2006 available to the public. We also
agreed to change the exercise price of all previously issued warrants held
by
the investors in this offering to $0.65, and to extend the term of any such
warrants that would expire earlier to three years after the offering date.
Our
costs
related to the issuance of the notes was approximately $0.58 million, a portion
of which represents placement fees of $0.5 million to
Burnham Hill Partners, our placement agent. In addition, we
issued to Burnham Hill Partners placement agent warrants to
purchase 618,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per
share. The
$5.6
million net proceeds of the offering will be used to support our corporate
restructuring program and for working capital.
18
The
Notes
bear interest at 10% per annum, mature on September 30, 2007 and are convertible
into common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share. The Series A and
Series B warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years.
We
are
currently evaluating the accounting treatment of this transaction, including
consideration of applicable accounting standards for derivative
instruments. We are also evaluating the effect on the conversion price of
our Series B convertible preferred stock and the exercise price of outstanding
warrants that are subject to anti-dilution adjustments occasioned by this
transaction. Reductions to the conversion price and exercise prices may
result in deemed dividend treatment.
Net
cash
used in operating activities was $9.2 million for the 2005 period and $9.1
million for the 2004 period. For the 2005 period, the primary components of
the
net cash usage were the net loss of $11.7 million which was increased by a
$0.5
million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.4 million increase in prepaid
expenses and other current assets and a non-cash gain on the settlement with
Gores of $0.4 million and reduced by depreciation and amortization expense
of
$1.7 million, a $0.7 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses,
$0.6 million of equity-based compensation, the receipt of $0.3 million in
previously escrowed cash in conjunction with the Gores settlement agreement
and
an increase in deferred revenue of $0.2 million. For the 2004 period, the
primary components of the net cash usage were the net loss of $15.0 million
and
an increase in the amount due from Gores of $0.4 million, reduced by
amortization of discount on subordinated debentures of $2.7 million,
depreciation and amortization of $1.7 million, loss on exchange of debt of
$0.7
million, equity-based compensation of $0.6 million and amortization of deferred
financing costs of $0.4 million.
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2005, there were no material changes in our
contractual obligations.
Cash
provided by investing activities for the 2005 period amounted to $1.5 million
which consisted of $2.7 collected in the settlement with Gores partially offset
by $1.2 million for the purchase of property, equipment and leasehold
improvements. For the 2004 period, cash used in investing activities was $0.9
million for the purchase of property, equipment and leasehold improvements.
The
Glowpoint network is currently built out to handle the anticipated level of
subscriptions through 2006. We do not anticipate current expansion for the
network and therefore currently have no significant commitments to make capital
expenditures in 2006.
Cash
provided by financing activities for the 2005 and 2004 periods was $9.4 million
and $13.0 million, respectively. Financing activities for the 2005 and 2004
periods included receipt of the $9.4 million and $11.4 million of net proceeds
from the private placements of common stock and warrants. The 2004 period
includes $1.2 million of proceeds attributable to a derivative financial
instrument and $0.6 million for the exercise of warrants and
options.
We
believe that our available capital as of September 30, 2005, together with
our
operating activities, will enable us to continue as a going concern through
September 30, 2006.
Critical
accounting policies
We
prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 where estimates are required. The significant areas of
estimation includes determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued
sales tax, the estimated lives of property and equipment and the fair value
of
the derivative financial instrument.
19
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.
As
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 contracts. 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 Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 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. In the 2005 period, no impairment losses
were recorded.
Inflation
Management
does not believe inflation had a material adverse effect on the financial
statements for the periods presented.

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
We
have
exposure to interest rate risk related to our cash equivalents portfolio. The
primary objective of our investment policy is to preserve principal while
maximizing yields. Our cash equivalents portfolio is short-term in nature;
therefore changes in interest rates will not materially impact our consolidated
financial condition. However, such interest rate changes can cause fluctuations
in our results of operations and cash flows.
There
are
no other material qualitative or quantitative market risks particular to
us.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
During
the periods covered by this report, we lacked adequate internal controls.
A
material weakness in internal controls is a significant deficiency, or
a
combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will be not be prevented or detected. We believe that a material
weakness in our internal controls arose as the result of aggregating several
significant deficiencies, including: inadequate review and approval of
journal
entries in the financial statement preparation process and a lack of supporting
documentation and assumptions used therein, an insufficient number of technical
accounting and public company reporting personnel in the finance department,
the
absence of a formal monthly closing process and subsequent formal reporting
of
monthly financial statements and account variance analysis. Additionally,
our
finance office was located in New Hampshire and our headquarters was located
in
New Jersey.
Our
current management team has instituted improved internal accounting controls,
including the institution of a formal monthly closing process, including
account
analysis, oversight of all closing processes, formal monthly review of
the
financial statements and the implementation of monthly written reports
to the
Board of Directors. We are continuing to evaluate and improve our internal
control procedures, where applicable.
