CIMETRIX INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation - The interim financial information of Cimetrix
Incorporated (the "Company") as of June 30, 2004 and for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 included herein is unaudited,
and the balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is derived from audited financial
statements. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they omit or
condense footnotes and certain other information normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial
reporting conform with generally accepted accounting policies disclosed in Note
1 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial information for the interim periods reported have been made. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year ending
December 31, 2004. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003.
NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY
Historically, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows
from operations. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$29,052,000. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had working capital of $1,155,000
and during the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company experienced
improvement in its results of operations, reporting net income of $42,000 and
net cash provided by operating activities of $199,000. Management believes that
the combination of existing working capital and continued improvements in
operations will be sufficient to assure continuation of the Company's operations
through December 31, 2004. There can be no assurance that operations will
continue to improve or that the existing working capital will be sufficient to
sustain operations through 2004. In addition, the Company has Senior Notes
payable due in 2005 in the amount of $1,915,000. If the Company is unable to
sustain profitable operations or refinance the Senior Notes due in 2005, it may
be unable to continue development of its products and may be required to curtail
operations during 2005.
-7-
NOTE 3 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At June 30, 2004, the Company has stock-based employee compensation plans,
which are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
Interpretations. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation
expense has been recognized in the financial statements, as all options granted
under those plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had compensation
expense for the Company's stock options been determined based on the fair value
at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's
results of operations would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. The computation of
diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average common stock
equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants
outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per
share during the period.
A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of the Company's
basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:

NOTE 5 - SENIOR NOTES PAYABLE
In February 2004, the Company issued 241 warrants in connection with the
rollover of certain senior notes payable. Each warrant entitles the holder to
purchase 500 shares of the Company's common stock on or before September 30,
2005 at $.35 per share. The value of these warrants was estimated by the Company
at $26,000 using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and was recorded as a
reduction of the principal amount of the senior notes payable and an increase to
additional paid-in capital. This additional discount will be accreted and
recognized as interest expense over the remaining life of the related senior
notes payable.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On June 4, 2004 the Company completed a private offering involving the sale
of a total of 400,000 shares of its common stock to three accredited investors
at a price of $.35 per share. The net proceeds from the offering of $140,000 are
to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
During May 2004, the Company purchased from a customer and subsequently
retired 219,375 shares of its common stock at a cost of $.35 per share in
exchange for the cancellation of approximately $77,000 in accounts receivable.
During April 2004, the Company issued to a consultant warrants to purchase
for a three-year period a total of 150,000 shares of common stock at prices
ranging from $.35 to $.75 per share. The value of these warrants was estimated
by the Company at $19,000 using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and was
recorded as deferred consulting, a reduction of additional paid in capital that
will be amortized to consulting expense over the one-year period of the
consulting contract.
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On April 8, 2004, a judgment was entered by the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company in the amount of
$200,826 plus interest at the rate of 1.23% per annum, costs and attorneys'
fees. The judgment resulted from a lawsuit brought against the Company by Puma
Foundation, Ltd. ("Puma") in January 2003 seeking payment on a $500,000 10%
Senior Note due September 30, 2002. See Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings, for
further discussion of this matter.
The Company had previously paid Puma $376,674, $250,000 of which had been
deposited in a trust account. On April 26, 2004, the Company paid Puma $199,098
to be applied against the judgment, thereby paying in full the $500,000
principal balance and all accrued interest on the 10% Senior Note. As of June
30, 2004, the Company had included $54,000 in accrued expenses and general and
administrative expenses for the estimated legal fees incurred through June 30,
2004 related to the judgment.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a brief discussion and explanation of significant
financial data, which is presented to help the reader better understand the
results of the Company's financial performance for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2004. The information includes discussions of sales, expenses,
capital resources and other significant items.
-9-
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this
quarterly report and Management's Discussion and Analysis and the audited
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and
2002 and the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
ensuing discussion and analysis contains both statements of historical fact and
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, generally are identified by the
words "expects," "believes" and "anticipates" or words of similar import.
Examples of forward-looking statements include: (a) projections regarding sales,
revenue, liquidity, capital expenditures and other financial items; (b)
statements of the plans, beliefs and objectives of the Company or its
management; (c) statements of future economic performance; and (d) assumptions
underlying statements regarding the Company or its business. Forward-looking
statements are subject to certain factors and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements,
including, but not limited to, those factors and uncertainties described below
under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Factors Affecting Future Results."
Company Overview
The Company is the developer of the world's first open architecture,
standards-based, personal computer (PC) software for controlling motion-oriented
equipment that operates on the factory floor. The Company introduced its first
motion control products (CODE) in 1989, and has developed considerable expertise
through working with demanding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers.
In 2000, the Company introduced two new product families using the latest
in software technologies. Both products complement the Company's CODE motion
control family of products. CIMConnect is a next generation design for enabling
production equipment in the electronics industries to communicate data to the
factory's host computer using the SECS/GEM SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and
Materials International) standard. CIM300 is a family of seven software products
that reduces the time required to connect new 300mm semiconductor tools to each
other and to host computers in a factory by using the new SEMI 300mm standards.
Both products were winners of Semiconductor International's Editor's Choice
Award in 2001.
In 2001, the Company introduced CODE 6.0(TM) with Core Motion after six
months of field beta testing at customer sites. CODE 6.0 with Core Motion was
the result of 18 months of research and development effort resulting in new
technology to move motion control from proprietary motion boards onto the PC.
This can result in up to a 50% savings in hardware costs for our OEM customers
and positions us for the evolution to network based drives.
In 2002 and early 2003, the Company designed, field tested and announced
the availability of CIM300Expert. This product further reduces the time required
by OEM customers to automate a semiconductor tool to comply with the SEMI 300 mm
standards. By reducing the implementation time from 12-24 weeks to 6-8 weeks,
CIM300Expert dramatically reduces the cost to implement SEMI compliance for
equipment suppliers. The Company also introduced additional calibration
technology to its CODE 6 product, which allows faster time to market for key
Surface Mount Technology ("SMT") customers.
In 2003 and 2004, the Company began development of a new product named
CIMPortal. CIMPortal is the Company's new equipment data acquisition software
product based on the Interface A equipment communications standards from SEMI.
The Company designed, developed and installed an alpha version of CIMPortal in
an Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) production facility in August of 2003 as part of
a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) program to develop
elements of e-manufacturing for the semiconductor industry. Subsequent to the
alpha release, the Company has been developing a new CIMPortal product family
and initiated a beta program in June of 2004 with participation from
semiconductor OEMs, advanced process control (APC) framework providers, and end
users. The Company has timed the beta program to enable the first commercial
release of CIMPortal to coincide with the standards proposed to be adopted by
SEMI towards the end of 2004.
-10-
The Company sells its products to a large base of customers. However, the
Company has a primary focus to sell Software Development Kits (SDK's) to "major
OEM customers", which the Company has defined as OEM customers that purchase
either its CIM300 SDK or its CODE SDK, which have higher price points than other
Cimetrix products.
All operations of the Company are conducted from its headquarters in Salt
Lake City, Utah, with its satellite offices located in Boston, Massachusetts and
Archamps, France serving as remote sales offices.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition
and results of operations are based upon financial statements which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The following accounting policies significantly affect
the way the financial statements are prepared.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues from three primary sources: 1) sales of
software, 2) sales of application engineering services and 3) sales of technical
support services. Software sales are derived from the sale of the Company's
off-the-shelf software packages in the machine control and communications
product lines. Machine control products include items such as CODE 6.0,
CIMControl(TM), and CIMulation(TM). Communications products include items such
as CIM300(TM), GEM Host Manager(TM) and CIMConnect(TM). Application engineering
sales are derived from the sale of services to design, develop and implement
custom software applications. Support sales are fixed annual contracts that
provide access to technical support personnel for help in the operation or
de-bugging of our software products.
Before the Company recognizes revenue, the following criteria must be met:
1) Evidence of a financial arrangement or agreement must exist between
the Company and its customer. Purchase orders and signed OEM contracts
are two examples of items accepted by the Company to meet this
criterion.
2) Delivery of the products or services must have occurred. The Company
treats either physical or electronic delivery as having met this
criterion.
3) The price of the products or services is fixed and measurable. It is
the policy of the Company to provide its customers a 30-day right to
return. However, because the amount of returns has been insignificant,
the Company recognizes revenue immediately upon the sale. If the
number of returns were to increase, the Company would establish a
reserve based on a percentage of sales to account for any such
returns.
4) Collectibility of the sale is reasonably assured and receipt is
probable. Collectibility of a sale is determined on a customer- by-
customer basis. Typically the Company sells to large corporations
which have demonstrated an ability to pay. If it is determined that a
customer may not have the ability to pay, revenue is deferred until
the payment is collected.
-11-
If a sale involves a bundled package of software, support and services at a
discounted price, revenue is allocated to each element based on the respective
list price of each. Assuming all of the above criteria have been met, revenue
from the software portion of the package is recognized immediately. Revenue from
material support contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the support
contract, which is generally 12 months. Revenue from services is recognized as
services are performed. Standard payment terms for sales are net 30 (net 45 - 60
for foreign customers). On occasion, extended payment terms will be offered. If
the Company provides payment terms greater than 90 days and collection is not
assured, then revenues are generally recognized as payments become due.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains a reserve for doubtful accounts, which is for
estimated losses resulting from uncollectible accounts receivable. In addition,
if collectibility becomes doubtful on any receivable, a reserve is set up for
the entire amount of such receivable.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment
annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net
book value may not by recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist,
the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated
with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives
against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the
excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and is
recorded in the period in which the determination is made.
Statement of Operations Summary
The following table sets forth the percentage of costs and expenses to net
sales derived from the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

Results of Operations
Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Three Months and
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003
Net Sales
Net sales increased by $18,000, or 2%, to $999,000, for the three months
ended June 30, 2004, from $981,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Net sales increased by $174,000, or 9%, to $2,064,000, for the six months ended
June 30, 2004, from $1,890,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The
increase in net sales for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was
primarily due to an increase in software license revenue as well as an increase
in support and training revenue for the period, offset by a decrease in
application revenue.
During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company successfully added
four new major OEM customers. These four new design wins, coupled with the three
new design wins earlier in 2004 and the base of major OEM customers gained over
the past several years, have enabled the Company to incrementally increase its
base of software support and maintenance contracts. In addition, as more of the
Company's major OEM customers release new machines to the marketplace, the
Company's runtime license revenue increases as the Company typically receives
runtime license revenue associated with every machine shipment.
In addition to successfully adding four new major OEM customers, the
Company entered into a strategic alliance with Brooks Automation to bring the
semiconductor industry a more complete automation solution. Brooks Automation
has been identified as the world's largest semiconductor automation company by
Gartner Dataquest, with strong market shares in both vacuum and atmospheric
robotics. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will provide
SECS/GEM/300mm communications standards software and support for Brooks' OEM
system automation products.
Though the Company's software revenues over the past three years have been
negatively impacted by an economic slowdown, management believes that there are
indications of an increase in the general economic conditions of the SMT and
semiconductor markets, the primary markets served by the Company. Management
hopes to see a corresponding increase in the respective capital equipment
markets in the near future, which should result in increased software revenues
for the Company.
While the Company cannot predict market conditions for subsequent quarters,
it continues to market its products aggressively in order to broaden its
customer base.

Cost of Sales
The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately 24% and 19%,
respectively. Cost of sales increased by approximately $49,000 or 26%, to
approximately $236,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from $187,000
for the comparable period in 2003. The Company's cost of sales as a percentage
of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately
19% and 14%, respectively. Cost of sales increased by approximately $134,000 or
52%, to approximately $390,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from
$256,000 for the comparable period in 2003. These increases were attributable to
an increased number of application and integration service projects that the
Company provided to its customers for the three and six months ended June 30,
2004. The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of net sales has increased
during the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period last year as the
Company invested employee and other resources in the development of major OEM
customer relationships originating in the fourth quarter of 2003 and the first
two quarters of 2004.
While the Company's focus is on the sale of software products, it also
provides application and integration services to its customers that want to
purchase a complete turnkey system. These services are performed primarily by
employees of the Company. The costs related to the sale of these services are
accounted for as cost of sales.
-14-
Selling, Marketing and Customer Support
Selling, marketing and customer support expenses decreased $49,000 or 15%,
to $270,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from $319,000 for the
comparable period in 2003. Selling, marketing and customer support expenses
decreased $100,000 or 16%, to $522,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004,
from $622,000 for the comparable period in 2003. These decreases were
attributable to a reduction in the number of sales and marketing personnel which
occurred in early 2003, including a reduction in personnel and operating costs
associated with the Company's satellite office located in Archamps, France.
Selling, marketing and customer support expenses for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, reflect the direct payroll
and related travel expenses of the Company's sales, marketing and customer
support staff, the development of product brochures and marketing material,
press releases, and the costs related to the Company's representation at
industry trade shows.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased by $17,000, or 8%, to $202,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from $219,000 for the comparable
period in 2003. Research and development expenses decreased by $68,000, or 14%,
to $415,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $483,000 for the
comparable period in 2003. These expenses decreased due to the reduction in the
number of technical personnel involved in the development of new products and
maintenance of existing products.
As the Company's products have matured, emphasis has moved from development
and software enhancements to providing services and support to customers as they
prepare for and begin to ship the Company's products on their equipment. The
Company's efforts to develop its motion control and communications products
represented the majority of the research and development expenditures for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
Research and development expenses included only direct costs for wages,
benefits, materials, and education of technical personnel. All indirect costs
such as rents, utilities, depreciation and amortization were reflected in
general and administrative expenses, discussed below.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased $139,000, or 41%, to $202,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from $341,000 for the comparable
period in 2003. General and administrative expenses decreased $94,000, or 14%,
to $553,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $647,000 for the
comparable period in 2003. These decreases resulted primarily from a reduction
in depreciation and amortization, as well as a reduction in bad debt expense.
During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a recovery of
bad debts of $104,000, including $77,000 from the purchase and subsequent
retirement of 219,375 shares of its common stock at a cost of $.35 per share in
exchange for the cancellation of accounts receivable, for which a full reserve
for bad debts had been recorded.
General and administrative costs include all direct costs for
administrative and accounting personnel, and all rents and utilities for
maintaining Company offices. These costs also include all indirect costs such as
depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation
and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased
$37,000, or 47%, to $41,000, from $78,000 during the same period in 2003.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004
decreased $75,000, or 47%, to $82,000, from $157,000 during the same period in
2003. This decrease was attributable to the impairment of technology assets at
December 31, 2003, reducing the balance of these assets to be amortized in the
future.
-15-
Other Income (Expenses)
Interest and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2004
increased slightly by $1,000 to $2,000 from $1,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003. Interest and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2004
increased by $7,000 to $10,000 from $3,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2003. This increase resulted primarily from the gain on sale of marketable
securities sold in the first quarter of 2004.
Interest expense decreased $12,000, or 15%, to $69,000, for the three
months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $81,000 for the comparable period in
2003. Interest expense decreased $24,000, or 14%, to $152,000, for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $176,000 for the comparable period in
2003. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in the outstanding principal
balance of the Company's 10% Senior Notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On June 4, 2004, the Company completed a private offering involving the
sale of a total of 400,000 shares of its common stock to three accredited
investors under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule
506 of Regulation D thereunder at a price of $.35 per share. The Company
received a total of $140,000 in cash from the transaction, and intends to use
the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The shares were
sold through officers and directors of the Company who did not receive any
commissions or other remuneration for selling the shares.
In February 2004, the Company issued 241 warrants in connection with the
rollover of certain senior notes payable, extending the due date to September
30, 2005. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 500 shares of the
Company's common stock on or before September 30, 2005 at $.35 per share. These
senior notes and warrants were issued in reliance upon the exemption from
registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. No commissions or other
remuneration were paid for the rollover of the notes and the issuance of the
warrants.
At June 30, 2004, the Company had cash and other current assets of
$2,442,000 and current liabilities of $1,287,000, resulting in working capital
of $1,155,000, compared to working capital of $966,000 at December 31, 2003.
This increase in working capital of $189,000 was attributable to factors which
include the following: a reclassification of $241,000 from the current portion
of senior notes payable to long term-debt during the first quarter of 2004
relating to the rollover of senior notes payable as discussed above, proceeds
from the private placement offering closed in June 2004, increased profitability
and resulting increase in cash flow from operations, and an increase in
receivables resulting from increased sales for the period ended June 30, 2004.
The Company has historically had an operating deficit, making its liquidity
dependent on obtaining external financing through the issuance of debt or equity
securities. This operating deficit has made obtaining working capital through
traditional bank loans or credit lines more difficult. However, in February of
2004, the Company obtained a $500,000 line of credit from its bank. This line of
credit is currently secured by the Company's own cash reserves. In addition, the
Company has recently generated cash flows from operations. Future liquidity is
dependent upon the Company's ability to continue to generate cash flows from
operations or from external financing sources.
-16-
The Company believes that continued improved operations and a stronger
working capital position will eventually allow the Company to secure its line of
credit or other bank financing by accounts receivable or assets other than cash,
and will allow for increased borrowing capacity.
At June 30, 2004, the Company had $1,926,000 principal balance of senior
notes payable outstanding, reported net of a $55,000 discount related to
warrants that were issued in connection with the senior notes. The following
principal payments on the senior notes are due on the dates indicated:
10% Senior Notes due September 30, 2004 $ 11,000
12% Senior Notes due September 30, 2005 1,915,000
The Company's ability to pay the senior notes when due in 2005 will be
dependent on its ability to generate positive cash flow from operations or
obtain alternative sources of debt or equity financing.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2004 was $199,000 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $50,000
for the same period in 2003. The improvement in operating cash flows resulted
from the improvement of net income 2004, and increases in accrued expenses and
deferred revenue, offset by the increase in accounts receivable.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2004 was $182,000, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of
$67,000 for the same period in 2003. This increase resulted primarily from
increased sales of marketable securities held for investment.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2004 was $601,000 compared to cash used by financing activities of $41,000 for
the same period in 2003. The increase in cash used by financing activities for
the period ended June 30, 2004 resulted from the payment of $741,000 of the
Company's senior notes payable, offset by the proceeds from the private
placement sale of common stock of $140,000.
The Company has not been adversely affected by inflation. However, there
are potential economic risks inherent in foreign trade. Sales to foreign
customers accounted for 53% and 40% of the Company's net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. To minimize the risk from
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company's export sales are
transacted in United States dollars.
The Company considers its cash resources sufficient to meet the operating
needs of its current level of business for the next twelve months.
Factors Affecting Future Results
Net sales for the first six months of 2004 increased 9% compared to the
prior year, meeting the Company's target revenue, which was expected to increase
slightly over the prior year period. Over the past three years, the economic
slowdown has led to significant delays in the placement of orders by the
Company's OEM customers. As the end-user customers have cut back on capital
equipment expenditures, the Company's OEM customers have also cut back on their
orders for the Company's software products. In late 2003 and during the first
half of 2004, it appeared that the semiconductor and electronics assembly
industries, the primary markets the Company serves, began an economic recovery
with corresponding increases in capital equipment expenditures. In general,
increases in capital equipment expenditures for the semiconductor and
electronics assembly industries should correlate to increases in software
license revenue for the Company. In addition, the Company continues to focus on
incrementally expanding its customer base and product line in order to increase
revenues. Management believes that its expanded customer base, combined with
increases in capital equipment expenditures in the semiconductor and electronics
assembly industries, will provide the needed revenue to maintain a profitable
level of operations.
-17-
The Company's future operating results and financial condition are
difficult to predict and will be affected by a number of factors. The markets
for the Company's products are emerging and specialized, and the Company's
technology has been commercially available for a relatively short time.
Accordingly, the Company has limited experience with the commercial use and
acceptance of its products and the extent of the modifications, adaptations and
custom applications that are required to integrate its products and satisfy
customer performance requirements. There can be no assurance that the emerging
markets for industrial motion control that are served by the Company will
continue to grow or that the Company's existing and new products will satisfy
the requirements of those markets and achieve a successful level of customer
acceptance.
Because of these and other factors, past financial performance is not
necessarily indicative of future performance, historical trends should not be
used to anticipate future operating results, and the trading price of the
Company's common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to
quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results and market conditions.
Certain Risk Factors
Statements regarding the future prospects of the Company must be evaluated
in the context of a number of factors that may materially affect its financial
condition and results of operations. Disclosure of these factors is intended to
permit the Company to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition to the factors discussed
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, these are important factors which could cause
actual results or events to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Most of these
factors have been discussed in prior filings by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Although the Company has attempted to list the factors
that it is currently aware may have an impact on its operations, other factors
may in the future prove to be important and the following list should not be
considered comprehensive. For a more complete discussion of risk factors, the
reader should refer to the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, for the
period ended December 31, 2003, filed March 29, 2004.
Operating Losses, Accumulated Deficit and Lack of Liquidity
The Company has an accumulated operating deficit of $29,052,000 at June 30,
2004. In addition, the Company has $1,926,000 of senior notes payable,
substantially all of which mature in September 2005. The Company's future
liquidity is dependent on sustaining positive cash flows from operations and
obtaining external financing through debt or equity securities. See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources". If the Company is unable to generate the cash flow
necessary to sustain future operations and retire its outstanding debt, or
acquire external financing to meet the needs, its future operations would be
materially adversely affected.
Highly Competitive Industry
The Company is engaged in a highly competitive industry involving rapidly
changing products. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered
in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays
frequently encountered in connection with the development of new products and
the competitive environments in the industry in which the Company operates.
There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter substantial delays
and unexpected expenses related to research, development, production, marketing
or other unforeseen difficulties.
-18-
Dependence Upon Major Customers
The quantity of each customer's business with the Company depends
substantially on market acceptance of the customer's products that utilize the
Company's software products and the development cycle of the customer's
products. The Company could be materially adversely affected by a downturn in
either customer's sales or their failure to meet sales expectations. The Company
will likely from time to time have customers that account for a significant
portion of its business and any adverse developments on such customers' business
would adversely affect the Company.
Risk of Technological Changes
The markets for the Company's products are new and emerging and as such
these markets are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving
requirements, developing industry standards, and new product introductions. The
dynamic nature of these markets can render existing products obsolete and
unmarketable within a short period of time. Accordingly, the life cycle of the
Company's products is difficult to estimate. The Company's future success will
depend in large part on its ability to enhance its products and to develop and
introduce, on a timely basis, new products that keep pace with technological
developments and emerging industry standards and gain a competitive advantage.
Dependence Upon Key Personnel
The Company is highly dependent on the services of its key managerial and
engineering personnel, including, Robert H. Reback, President and Chief
Executive Officer, David P. Faulkner, Executive Vice President of Sales and
Marketing., and Michael D. Feaster, Vice President of Software Development. The
loss of any member of the Company's senior management team could adversely
affect the Company's business prospects. The Company does not maintain key-man
insurance for any of its key management personnel.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
A significant portion of the Company's cash equivalents and short-term
investments bear variable interest rates that are adjusted to market conditions.
Changes in market rates will affect interest earned and potentially the market
value of the principal of these instruments. The Company does not utilize
derivative instruments to offset the exposure to interest rates. Significant
changes in interest rates may have a material impact on the Company's investment
income, but not on the Company's consolidated results of operations.
The Company does have significant sales to foreign customers and is
therefore subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company
does not utilize derivative instruments to offset the exposure to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. To minimize this risk, the Company's export
sales are transacted in United States dollars
-19-
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on their evaluations as of June 30, 2004, the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer of the Company have concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that the Company
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms
of the SEC.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over
financial reporting or in other factors that occurred during the last fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of their most recent
evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Litigation with Puma Foundation, Ltd. and Loving Spirit Foundation
On April 8, 2004, a judgment was entered by the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Florida in favor of Puma Foundation, Ltd., a
Bermuda limited liability company ("Puma"), and against the Company, in the
amount of $200,826 plus interest at the rate of 1.23% per annum, costs and
attorney's fees. The judgment resulted from a lawsuit that Puma brought against
the Company to obtain payment on a $500,000 10% Senior Note due September 30,
2002. The note was originally issued by the Company to Loving Spirit Foundation,
a Florida foundation ("Loving Spirit"), which subsequently transferred the note
to Puma. The President of Puma and Loving Spirit is Terri Steffen, the wife of
Paul A. Bilzerian, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company.
Puma had brought a complaint against the Company on January 16, 2003 for
payment of the $500,000 10% Senior Note, plus accrued interest thereon.
Thereafter Loving Spirit was added to the lawsuit and claimed that the Company
also violated Florida Securities laws when the 10% Senior Note was issued to
Loving Spirit. The Company's position was that the note was not a valid 10%
Senior Note and, as a result, the Company was obligated to repay $500,000 with
interest to Puma, but the interest should be at the legal rate rather than 10%
per annum, the rate payable on the 10% Senior Notes. Prior to trial, the Company
tendered payment in the amount of $376,674 to Puma, $250,000 of which had been
previously set-aside in a trust account to be held for payment on the $500,000
10% Senior Note held by Puma. Also prior to trial, Loving Spirit dismissed its
securities violation claim against the Company.
On April 26, 2004, the Company tendered payment to Puma in the amount of
$199,098 to be applied toward the judgment amount, thereby paying in full the
$500,000 principal balance and all accrued interest. The Company has estimated
and accrued, an obligation for legal fees of approximately $54,000, which amount
is subject to final determination by the court. Once the determined legal fees
have been paid in full, the Company will have no further obligation to Puma or
Loving Spirit.
The Company is not currently involved with any other litigation.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY
SECURITIES
(c) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On June 4, 2004, the Company completed a private offering involving the
sale of a total of 400,000 shares of its common stock to three accredited
investors under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule
506 of Regulation D thereunder at a price of $.35 per share. The Company
received a total of $140,000 in cash from the transaction, and intends to use
the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The shares were
sold through the officers and directors of the Company who did not receive any
commissions or other compensation for selling the shares.
In February 2004, the Company issued 241 warrants in connection with the
rollover of certain senior notes payable, extending the due date to September
30, 2005. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 500 shares of the

amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. No commissions or other
remuneration were paid for the rollover of the notes and the issuance of the
warrants.
-21-
During April 2004, the Company issued to a consultant warrants to purchase
for a three-year period a total of 150,000 shares of common stock at prices
ranging from $.35 to $.75 per share. The value of these warrants was estimated
by the Company at $19,000 using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and was
recorded as deferred consulting, a reduction of additional paid in capital that
will be amortized to consulting expense over the one-year period of the
consulting contract.
