Intelligent Systems Corporation, including its majority-owned subsidiaries. |
| --- | --- |
| 2. | The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-QSB have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ISC
management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which comprise
only normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and
results of operations as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006
and 2005. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in
our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 31, 2006. |
| 3. | Discontinued Operations Effective July 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of the
business and certain assets of its QS Technologies, Inc. (QS) subsidiary to Netsmart Public
Health, Inc. and its parent company, Netsmart Technologies, Inc., referred to collectively as
Netsmart. The Company sold the operations and assets associated with the QS business for a
combination of $1,900,000 in cash, a promissory note of Netsmart in the amount of $1,435,000
and additional payments totaling $305,000 for unbilled receivables of QS. In addition,
Netsmart assumed liabilities of QS, net of assets acquired, of $1,748,000 in the aggregate.
The Company retained accounts receivable and cash of QS. The promissory note of Netsmart
bears interest at the rate of 8.25 percent and is payable in thirty-six monthly payments of
$45,133 beginning September 1, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the current portion of the
principal amount of the note is $443,000 and the non-current portion is $957,000. The
principal amount of the note is subject to adjustment based on revenue and earnings of the QS
business for the period from August 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. |
| | In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the QS business is presented as discontinued
operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and all prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.
Based on the carrying basis of the assets and liabilities transferred to Netsmart at July 31,
2006 and estimated costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale, the Company recorded
a net gain on the sale of QS of $4,873,000. |
| | The transaction also provides for contingent payments of up to $1,450,000 which may be earned by
the Company in 2008 based on the attainment by the QS business of certain levels of revenue and
bookings in 2007. As the amount, if any, of such payments is not quantifiable at this time, no
amount has been recorded for such contingency payments. |

| No options related to the above referenced stock option plans were granted, exercised or
forfeited in the first nine months of 2006. In the second quarter of 2005, 12,000 options were
granted at fair market value on the date of grant pursuant to the Non-employee Directors Stock
Option Plan. The estimated fair value of the options granted during prior years was calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions as previously disclosed. |
| As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006 was lower by $3,000 and $9,000, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account
for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. The impact on both basic and diluted loss per

All of the Companys stock-based compensation expense relates to stock options. As of September 30, 2006, $3,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1 year. No options related to the above described plans were granted, exercised or forfeited during the three or nine month period ended September 30, 2006. The following table summarizes options related to the above described plans as of September 30, 2006:
| Wgt Avg — Exercise | Wgt Avg — Remaining | Aggregate — Intrinsic | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| # of Shares | Price | Life in Years | Value | |
| Outstanding at Sept. 30, 2006 | 238,680 | $ 2.56 | 5.4 | $ 103,662 |
| Vested and exercisable at Sept. 30, 2006 | 232,680 | $ 2.57 | 5.2 | $ 101,871 |
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the third quarter of 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2006. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Companys stock.

- Contract Settlement In March 2006, our VISaer subsidiary reached a mutual agreement with one of its customers to terminate a Software License Agreement between them. The Settlement and Release Agreement assigns no fault to either party and provides for a refund to the customer of $512,000 of certain prepaid maintenance and other expenses, with such refund to be paid interest-free in monthly installments of $14,222 over a three year period. Accordingly, since VISaer had completed all of the requirements for revenue recognition, in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, VISaer recognized $1,779,000 in services revenue and $827,174 in cost of sales related to this contract, and recorded the refund amount as a liability of which $135,000 was recorded in other current liabilities and $311,000 in long-term liabilities at March 31, 2006, ($446,000 in total, which is equal to $512,000 discounted at 9.25%). At September 30, 2006, the amount related to this settlement that is included in current and long-term liabilities is $135,000 and $245,000, respectively. The liability, which is an obligation of VISaer, is not secured by any assets or guaranteed by the parent company.

| Legal Matters In December 2004, ChemFree filed a patent infringement action against J. Walter
Co. Ltd. and J. Walter, Inc. in the United States Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
The complaint alleges that certain of the defendants products infringe various U.S. patents
held by ChemFree and seeks a ruling to compel defendant to cease its infringing activities. The
defendant has asserted various defenses and a counterclaim. The case is pending and no trial
date has been set. In 2005, ChemFree participated in an arbitration proceeding versus ZYMO
International, Inc. (Zymo), a patent co-owner, that resulted in the issuance of a favorable
arbitration ruling for ChemFree. In December 2005, ChemFree initiated a proceeding under the
Federal Arbitration Act in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
to obtain judicial confirmation of the arbitration ruling and to arbitrate a number of other
disputes between ChemFree and Zymo that fall within the arbitration provisions of the
co-ownership agreement between the parties. In July 2006, the judge issued a ruling confirming
ChemFrees request to compel arbitration. In the third quarter of 2006, an arbitrator was
assigned and the initial submissions of the parties to the arbitrator are due in November 2006.
While the resolution and timing of any legal action is not predictable, ChemFree believes it has
sufficient grounds to prevail in these actions although there can be no assurance that the
disputes will be resolved in its favor. |
| ISC Guarantees - In conjunction with a Software License Agreement entered into on June 12, 2003
between our majority owned subsidiary, CoreCard Software, Inc. and a CoreCard customer, ISC
entered into a letter of guarantee with the CoreCard customer. Under the guarantee, in the
event that the Software License is terminated due to CoreCard discontinuing operations, ISC has
guaranteed to make available at its expense up to four employees to provide technical assistance
to the customer during a transition period of up to one year. The guarantee is limited to the
amount paid by the customer to CoreCard under the Software License Agreement at the time of
termination. The guarantee phases out upon the achievement of certain operational milestones by
CoreCard or after five years,
whichever occurs sooner. As of September 30, 2006, it does not appear probable that the
guarantee will be paid; thus no amounts have been accrued with respect to this guarantee. |

| 11. | New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R,
Share Based Payment, which replaces APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123. The change is effective
for small business issuers for the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after
December 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in financial statements the
cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards. We adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006.
There was no material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. For a full
discussion of the affect of the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123R, see Note 6. |
| | In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 clarifies that certain abnormal amounts of production related
expenses should be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead. Further, it requires that
allocation of fixed production overheads to conversion costs should be based on normal capacity
of production facilities. FASB No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2005. We adopted SFAS No. 151 effective January 1, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. |
| | In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements to increase
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements of certain assets, liabilities and items in stockholders equity that are measured
at fair value. FASB No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, although early adoption is encouraged. The Company has not
yet determined when it will adopt the standard or the impact that the adoption of the standard
will have on its financial statements. |

In addition to historical information, this Form 10-QSB may contain forward-looking statements relating to ISC. All statements, trend analyses and other information relative to markets for our products and trends in revenue, gross margins and anticipated expense levels, as well as other statements including words such as anticipate, believe, plan, estimate, expect, and intend, and other similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements including those factors described below under Factors That May Affect Future Operations. ISC undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in future operating results.
For purposes of this discussion and analysis, we are assuming and relying upon the readers familiarity with the information contained in Item 6Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operationin the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2006.
Overview
As explained in more detail in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the QS business is presented as Discontinued Operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and all prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.
With respect to our continuing operations, our consolidated subsidiaries operate in two industry segments: Information Technology Products and Services and Industrial Products. Included in the Information Technology sector in the periods reported herein are VISaer, Inc. (software for maintenance, repair and overhaul operations in the commercial aviation industry) and CoreCard Software, Inc. (software for managing credit and debit cards). The Industrial Products segment includes ChemFree Corporation (bio-remediating parts washers).

Table of Contents
We derive our product revenue from sales of software licenses in our Information Technology sector and sales and leases of equipment and supplies in our Industrial Products sector. Our service revenue consists of fees for implementation, consulting, training, maintenance and support for software products in our Information Technology sector. Our consolidated revenue is the aggregate of the revenue generated at our three subsidiary companies. Our revenue fluctuates from period to period and our results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. Period-to-period comparisons may not be meaningful and it is difficult to predict the level of consolidated revenue on a quarterly or annual basis for a number of reasons, including the following:
| | A change in revenue level at one of our subsidiaries may impact consolidated revenue or
be offset by an opposing change at another subsidiary. |
| --- | --- |
| | Economic and marketplace trends may impact our subsidiaries differently or not at all and
two of our software subsidiaries have very limited experience in their marketplaces which
makes it difficult to identify and evaluate trends that may impact their business. |
| | Two of our software subsidiaries, CoreCard Software and VISaer, have been involved in
major new product development initiatives for the past five years and have limited
experience delivering and installing their new products at customer sites, making it
difficult to predict with certainty when they will recognize revenue on individual software
contracts. |
| | Our subsidiaries are relatively small in revenue size and, in the Information Technology
sector, license revenue at a subsidiary in a given period may consist of a relatively small
number of contracts. Consequently, even small delays in a subsidiarys delivery under a
software contract (which may be out of its control) could have a significant and
unpredictable impact on consolidated revenue that we can recognize in a given quarterly or
annual period. |
Frequently we recognize consolidated operating losses on a quarterly and annual basis and may do so in the future from time to time. Our operating expenses consist of the aggregate of our three subsidiaries expenses and our corporate office expenses. Our ChemFree subsidiary usually generates an operating profit on an annual basis but our early stage subsidiaries, VISaer and CoreCard, are not consistently profitable, mainly due to significant research and development expense that is invested to complete their new product offerings and the deferral of revenue recognition until such products are delivered to customers. Depending upon the size and number of software licenses recognized in a particular period and the level of expenses incurred to support development and sales activities, our subsidiaries may report operating profits on an irregular basis as they build their customer base. A significant portion of our subsidiaries expense is related to personnel which is relatively fixed in the short-term. We continually evaluate and strive to balance our financial resources with the resources required to complete products under development and support our subsidiaries customers. For these and other reasons, our subsidiary and consolidated operating profits or losses may vary from quarter to quarter and at the present time are generally not predictable with any degree of certainty.
We also frequently generate income or losses from other sources and we may do so from time to time in the future. As exemplified by the sale of our interest in Horizon Software in the third quarter ended September 30, 2006, and as explained in more detail in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, occasionally we derive income from sales of holdings in affiliate and other minority-owned companies or we record a charge if we believe the value of a non-consolidated company is impaired. We also recognize on a quarterly basis our pro rata share of the income or losses of affiliate companies accounted for by the equity method. The timing and amount of gain or loss recognized as a result of a sale or the amount of equity in the income or losses of affiliates generally are not under our control and are not necessarily indicative of future results, either on a quarterly or annual basis.
In recent years, the majority of our cash has been generated on an irregular basis from sales of assets, as exemplified by the recent sales of our QS operations and investment in Horizon Software. We have used a significant amount of the cash received from such sales to support the operations of our CoreCard Software and VISaer subsidiaries.
As explained in previous filings, we received a letter from The American Stock Exchange (AMEX) notifying us that AMEX had determined that we do not meet certain of the AMEX continued listing standards. Specifically, AMEX noted we were not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the AMEX Company Guide because our shareholders equity was less than $4,000,000 and we had sustained losses in three out of four of our most recent fiscal years. In May 2006, we submitted a plan to AMEX to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards and on July 21, 2006, AMEX notified us that it had determined we made a reasonable demonstration in the plan of our ability to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by October 27, 2007. As a result of the QS and Horizon sales, as of September 30, 2006, our shareholders equity is $7,784,000, exceeding the minimum standard. The AMEX rules require two consecutive quarters of shareholders equity in excess of the minimum of $4,000,000 before AMEX will determine whether the Company has regained compliance with continued listing standards.

Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB. As explained in more detail in the discussion that follows, our results of continuing operations for the third quarter and year-to-date periods in 2006 reflect a reduction in losses from operations compared to the prior year periods as well as an increase in investment income. In addition, our reported results for the current year include significant income related to the gain on the sale of the discontinued QS operations.
Continuing Operations:
Revenue - Total consolidated revenue in the three month period ended September 30, 3006 was $3,460,000, a 31 percent increase compared to the third quarter of 2005. Revenue from products, which includes sales of equipment in our Industrial Products segment as well as software license fees related to the Information Technology segment, was $2,464,000 in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to $1,541,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Product revenue contributed by the Industrial Products segment grew by 58 percent quarter-to-quarter and represented 91 percent of total product revenue in the third quarter of 2006 compared to 92 percent of total product revenue in the same quarter last year. The revenue growth in the Industrial Product sector is due mainly to an increase in the volume of Smartwasher ® parts washers sold in both domestic and international markets as well as an increase in revenue from leased equipment in the domestic market. Consolidated revenue from products in the first nine months of 2006 was $6,656,000, a 14 percent increase as compared to the same nine month period of 2005. The Industrial Products segment grew by 34 percent in the year-to-date period in 2006 compared to the year-to-date period in 2005, mainly due to increased volume of products sold in the domestic U.S. market in both the distributor channel and large corporate end-user channel. The Information Technology segment recorded an increase in new license revenue in the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 and a decline in the number of new software licenses recognized in the first nine months of 2006 as compared to the respective periods in 2005. For a number of reasons, the timing and amounts of software license recognized varies considerably from quarter to quarter and is expected to do so for the foreseeable future.
Service revenue associated with the Information Technology segment was $996,000, down nine percent from $1,093,000 in the three month period ended September 30, 2006, as compared with the same period in 2005. This decrease was mainly due to a lower level of professional services delivered during the quarter. For the year-to-date period in 2006, service revenue increased sixty percent to $5,233,000 compared to $3,276,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. Most of the increase is attributed to a single multi-year contract at the VISaer subsidiary that was completed and recognized in the first quarter of 2006, contributing $1,779,000 in services revenue in the year-to-date results.
Cost of Sales - Total cost of sales was 46 percent and 49 percent of total revenue in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to total cost of sales of 51 percent and 48 percent in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Cost of product revenue was 47 percent and 51 percent of product revenue in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to 48 percent and 42 percent, respectively, of product revenue in the corresponding periods in 2005. The principal reasons for the difference in product costs in the year-to-date 2006 period include higher costs for transportation and certain plastic components due to increased gas and petroleum products prices, as well as more temporary facility and labor expenses required to support higher production output to meet current and anticipated order levels. These cost increases were more pronounced in the first half of 2006 than in the third quarter of 2006. Cost of service revenue (which relates to the Information Technology segment only) was 44 percent and 46 percent of service revenue in the three and nine month periods, respectively, ending September 30, 2006 compared to 55 percent and 60 percent, respectively, of service revenue in the comparable periods in 2005. The change between periods is due mainly to fewer employees and increased productivity in the professional services department at VISaer.
Operating Expenses - Consolidated marketing expenses were 37 percent ($148,000) higher in the third quarter of 2006 than in the same period in 2005 and were 15 percent ($203,000) higher in the year-to-date period in 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. The principal reasons for the increased marketing expenses in 2006 include higher commission and advertising expenses at the ChemFree subsidiary related to the substantial period-to-period increase in the subsidiarys revenue. Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased by 5 percent ($41,000) and 20 percent ($473,000), respectively, in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2005. Most of the year-to-date G&A increase relates to higher legal expenses at the ChemFree subsidiary and higher accounting and audit fees at the corporate office. Consolidated research and development expenses were lower by 11 percent ($172,000) and six percent ($260,000), respectively, in the three and nine month periods in 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005. Although the Company increased the number of development and quality assurance employees at
Folio Page 14 /Folio
PAGEBREAK
Table of Contents
our subsidiaries in Romania and India, the increased cost was offset by fewer domestic personnel and third party contractors. In addition, at the VISaer subsidiary, more of the R&D personnel costs were allocated to cost of sales and work-in-process for specific contracts in the year-to-date period of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.
Interest Income (Expense) - In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded $7,000 and $68,000, respectively, in net interest expense compared to $1,000 and $20,000, respectively, in net interest income in the corresponding periods in 2005. The net interest expense in 2006 reflects greater utilization of our line of credit at a higher interest rate than in the corresponding periods of 2005, whereas the net interest income in 2005 includes interest income recorded at a subsidiary reflecting a finance charge on a customer contract, offset in part by interest expense related to the Companys borrowings under its bank line of credit. The Company paid off its line of credit in September 2006.
Investment Income (Expense) - We recorded $2,638,000 and $2,645,000 in investment income in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to investment loss of $48,000 and investment income of $1,908,000, respectively, in the corresponding periods in 2005. The investment income in 2006 in the third quarter and year-to-date periods includes a gain of $2,638,000 on the sale of our interest in Horizon Software, as explained in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. The year-to-date investment income in 2005 reflects cash distributions received in the first and second quarters of 2005 related to an asset sale completed in June 2004, as explained in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Equity Earnings (Losses) of Affiliate Companies - On a quarterly basis, we recognize our pro rata share of the earnings or losses of affiliate companies that we record on the equity method. We recorded $188,000 and $351,000, respectively, in equity in earnings of affiliate companies in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $358,000 and $393,000, respectively in equity in earnings of affiliate companies in the comparable periods in 2005. The difference between periods reflects changes in profitability at the affiliate companies and the fact that we did not include any equity in earnings of Horizon Software for September 2006 as a result of the sale of our interest in Horizon effective August 31, 2006.
Income Taxes - We did not accrue for any income tax liability year-to-date in 2006 because we have adequate net operating loss carryforwards to offset any taxable income and we believe our deferred tax assets should be fully reserved given their character and our historical losses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the tax liability recorded reflects $4,000 in estimated alternative minimum tax.
Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations We recorded net income from continuing operations of $1,826,000 and $322,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $1,199,000 and $1,244,000, respectively, in the corresponding periods in 2005. The improved results reflect a combination of a reduction in operating losses and an increase in investment income.
Discontinued Operations:
Net Income from Discontinued Operations The amounts recorded in the third quarter and year-to-date periods in 2006 and 2005, $317,000 and $41,000, and $600,000 and $562,000, respectively, reflect the results of operations of the QS Technologies subsidiary which has been classified as a discontinued operation as a result of the sale of the QS business, as disclosed in more detail in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations In the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a gain of $4,873,000 on the sale of the QS business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As permitted under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 95, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 do not separately disclose the cash flows for discontinued operations. Historically, the QS Discontinued Operations have contributed varying amounts of positive cash flow from operations on an annual basis; however, the Company does not anticipate any negative impact on liquidity for the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of the QS sale since the proceeds of the QS transaction more than offset its historical cash flow contribution.
Our cash balance at September 30, 2006 is $2,994,000 compared to our cash balance of $378,000 at December 31, 2005. In addition, we have a total of $4,250,000 in notes receivable issued to the Company by the buyers of the QS and Horizon assets, of which $3,292,000 is expected to be collected within 12 months. Our principal sources of cash during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 were cash proceeds from the QS and Horizon sales aggregating $4,750,000 and borrowings under our line of credit aggregating $2,220,000. Our principal uses of cash in the first nine months of 2006 were
Folio Page 15 /Folio
PAGEBREAK
Table of Contents
an aggregate of approximately $2,475,000 to support the CoreCard domestic and overseas software development operations and the VISaer operations and $2,320,000 to pay off our line of credit balance in September 2006. Based on current projections, we presently believe that scheduled customer payments on existing and pending software contracts will reduce these subsidiary cash requirements, although monthly cash flows are expected to continue to be irregular.
We have historically sold assets or acquired new ones from time to time, as exemplified by the QS and Horizon transactions, and may do so in the future, but the timing and consideration related to such transactions are not predictable in advance.
We presently project that we will have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand, payments due on notes receivable and milestone payments on software contracts to meet our operating needs in the foreseeable future. We presently do not have any borrowing under our bank line of credit, which expires on December 1, 2006 and we do not anticipate significant borrowings in the foreseeable future. We expect that the line of credit will be renewed but if the bank elects not to renew our line of credit, we may not be able to find a replacement line of credit on acceptable terms, if at all. Certain software customer contracts tie cash payments to delivery dates of various software deliverables. Delays in meeting project milestones or software delivery commitments could cause customers to postpone payments and increase our need for cash during 2006 and 2007. Presently, we do not believe there is a material risk to successfully performing under these contracts. However, if customer payments are delayed for any reason, and we do not control costs or encounter unforeseen technical or quality problems, then we could require more cash than planned which could require us to increase the use of our bank line of credit.
Beyond the next twelve months, we currently expect that consolidated operations will generate sufficient cash to fund requirements with use of our credit facility to accommodate short-term needs. Other long-term sources of liquidity include potential sales of investments, subsidiaries or other assets although the timing and amount of any such transactions are uncertain and, to the extent they involve non-consolidated companies, are generally not within our control.
We do not currently have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition, valuation of acquired intangibles and impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of investments to be critical policies due to the estimation processes involved in each. Management discusses its estimates and judgments with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. For a detailed description on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Reference is also made to the discussion of the application of these critical accounting policies and estimates contained in Managements Discussion and Analysis in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for 2005. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, there were no significant or material changes in the application of critical accounting policies that would require an update to the information provided in the Form 10-KSB for 2005.
Factors That May Affect Future Operations
Future operations in both the Information Technology and Industrial Products segments are subject to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact our future results of operations or projected cash requirements. It is difficult to predict future quarterly and annual results with any certainty mainly because several of our subsidiaries are early stage companies with limited revenue and experience in their respective markets, all are relatively small in size and, particularly in the Information Technology sector, revenue tends to be associated with fewer and larger sales than in the Industrial Products segment. Thus any trend or delay that affects even one of our subsidiaries could have a negative impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or cash requirements on a quarterly or annual basis. In addition, the carrying value of our investments is impacted by a number of factors which are generally beyond our control since we are typically a non-control shareholder in a private company with limited liquidity.
Among the numerous factors that may affect our consolidated results of operations or financial condition are the following:
Delays in software development projects which could cause our customers to delay implementations, delay payments or cancel contracts, which would increase our costs and reduce our revenue.
Folio Page 16 /Folio
PAGEBREAK
Table of Contents
Undetected software errors or poor quality control which may delay product releases, increase our costs, result in non-acceptance of our software by customers or delay revenue recognition.
Competitive pressures (including pricing, changes in customer requirements and preferences, and competitor product offerings) which may cause prospective customers to choose an alternative product solution, resulting in lower revenue and profits (or increased losses).
The inability of our CoreCard or VISaer subsidiaries to establish a base of referenceable customers for their new product offerings, resulting in lower revenue and profits (or increased losses), increased cash needs and possibly leading to restructuring or cutting back of the subsidiarys operations.
Failure of our products specifications and features to achieve market acceptance.
The inability of our software subsidiaries to retain key software developers who have accumulated years of know-how in our target markets and Company products, or failure to attract and train a sufficient number of new software developers and testers to support our product development plans and customer requirements at projected cost levels.
Further increases in the price of oil, which could increase ChemFrees product costs and which could affect VISaers results if potential aviation customers delay or cancel purchases of software or services in the face of declining industry trends or poor financial condition.
Delays in anticipated customer payments for any reason which would increase our cash requirements and possibly our losses.
Declines in performance, financial condition or valuation of minority-owned companies which could cause us to write-down the carrying value of our investment or postpone an anticipated liquidity event, which could negatively impact our earnings and cash.
Increased operating expenses and diversion of resources related to compliance with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
