YDI WIRELESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization
Young Design, Inc. ("Young Design") was incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia on February 28, 1986 to engage in the business of
manufacturing and sale of equipment for use in transmission of data access on a
wireless basis. Young Design operates its business in Falls Church, Virginia.
Zeus Wireless, Inc. ("Zeus") was formed under the laws of the State of
California. Zeus was a developer and manufacturer of 2.4 GHz transceivers
providing mission critical wireless data connectivity. Zeus' offices are located
in Columbia, Maryland.
Merry Fields, LLC ("Merry Fields") was formed by certain shareholders of
Young Design under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 11, 2000. Merry
Fields owns the property and land leased to YDI for its principal operations.
On April 1, 2003, Young Design completed a strategic combination
transaction (the "combination") with Telaxis Communications Corporation
("Telaxis"), pursuant to a definitive strategic combination agreement dated as
of March 17, 2003. Pursuant to the terms of that agreement, Telaxis formed a
subsidiary, WFWL Acquisition Subsidiary, that merged with and into Young Design
and Telaxis issued new shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Young
Design. As of the date of the combination, Telaxis was a Massachusetts
corporation. On July 9, 2003, Telaxis reincorporated into Delaware and changed
its name to YDI Wireless, Inc. ("YDI Wireless" or the "Company"). For financial
reporting purposes, the combination has been treated as a purchase of Telaxis by
Young Design (see note 15).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information
In our opinion, the interim financial information as of September 30, 2003
and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 contains all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YDI Wireless
and its wholly owned subsidiaries and also Merry Fields, a consolidated
affiliate. The Company consolidates the financial statements of
8
Merry Fields because it guarantees the affiliate's mortgage debt and
substantially all of Merry Field's income is generated from transactions with
YDI Wireless. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The operating results of Telaxis are included in
the financial statements beginning April 1, 2003.
Asset Impairment
We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets when
events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a
long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash
flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than the carrying
value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the
carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair
market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted
at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider cash on hand, deposits in banks, money market accounts and
investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash or cash
equivalents. We also separately report any restricted cash balances that are
encumbered.
Investments
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities", securities are
classified into three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, and
trading. Because we hold certain securities principally for the purpose of
selling them in the near future, they are classified on the balance sheet as
trading securities. As a result, the securities are carried at fair value and
realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the consolidated
statements of operations. Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair
value. Any unrealized gain or loss, net of applicable income taxes, is reported
as a separate addition to or reduction from stockholders' equity as other
comprehensive income. Investment income includes realized and unrealized gains
and loss on investments, interest and dividends.
Investments - Equity Method
Investments in private companies are accounted for under the equity or cost
method based on our voting interest and degree of control or influence we may
have over the operations.
Accounts Receivable
We provide an allowance to account for amounts, if any, of our accounts
receivable, which are considered uncollectible. We base our assessment of the
allowance for doubtful accounts on historical losses and current economic
conditions. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on a
contractual term of 30 days. We grant unsecured credit to our United States
customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $300,000 and
$185,000 as of September 30, 2003 (unaudited) and December 31, 2002,
respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of electronic components and finished goods and is
stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in,
first-out method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets, which range from two to seven years for personal property and 39 years
for real property.
9
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets subject to amortization include intellectual property and
a non-compete agreement. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method
over three years, which is the estimated useful life of the respective assets.
Amortization expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2003 and 2002
(unaudited) totaled approximately $65,000 and $0, respectively.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. The principal differences are net operating loss carry forwards,
start-up costs, property and equipment, nonrefundable contract deposits,
allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, and negative goodwill
related to acquisitions.
Merry Fields is a limited liability company and is taxed as a partnership.
Accordingly, for Merry Fields, items of income, deductions, expenses and credits
pass through directly to its members and are reported on their tax returns.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when a purchase commitment has been received, shipment
has been made to the customer, collection is probable and, if contractually
required, a customer's acceptance has been received.
Excess of Acquired Net Assets Over Cost
Young Design's excess of acquired net assets over cost resulted from the
acquisition of Telaxis in 2003. The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting and the purchase price was allocated to the assets
purchased and the liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the
date of the acquisition. We recognized the entire $4.7 million of excess
acquired net assets over cost as other income in the second quarter 2003 in
accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" because the
combination was consummated in that quarter.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling are charged to customers and included in both revenue
and costs of goods sold on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Comprehensive Income
We report comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." As of September 30, 2003 (unaudited) and December 31,
2002, we had approximately $496,000 and $38,000, respectively, of unrealized
gains on available-for-sale investments, net of income taxes of $0 and $26,000,
respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." The Statement amends
10
Statement 133 for decisions made by the Derivatives Implementation Group, in
particular the meaning of an initial net investment, the meaning of underlying
and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components.
Presently, we have no derivative financial instruments and, therefore, believe
that adoption of the Statement will have no effect on our financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." The
Statement requires that the issuer classify certain instruments as liabilities,
rather than equity, or so-called mezzanine equity. Presently, we have no
financial instruments that come under the scope of the Statement and, therefore,
believe that adoption of the new Statement will have no impact on our financial
statements.

Depreciation expense totaled approximately $791,000 and $33,000,
respectively for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 (unaudited).
8. Income Taxes
We estimate our annual effective tax rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 (unaudited) at 0% based on our estimate of current year
projected tax loss. Accordingly, we expect to file amended tax returns for
calendar year 2002 and receive refunds of approximately $175,000 and refunds of
2003 estimated tax payments of $83,000. The income tax expense for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2003 primarily relates to the increase in the
valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets since we cannot
predict when we will generate taxable income to utilize these assets. During the
nine month period ended September 30, 2002, our effective annual tax rate was
42%.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
We have various operating leases for equipment, office and production
space. These leases generally provide for renewal or extension at market prices.
In August 2000, Merry Fields executed a lease agreement with Young Design
for the lease of the building in Falls Church, Virginia. The lease commenced on
January 1, 2001 and terminates on December 31, 2010. The lease provides for base
monthly rent payments of $20,625 with a 3% fixed annual increase after the base
year. All intercompany rental income and expense under the lease agreement have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Rent expense, excluding rent paid to Merry Fields, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 (unaudited) was approximately $357,000 and
$106,000, respectively.
11. 401(k) - Retirement Plan
We have a 401(k) retirement plan covering all employees who meet certain
minimum eligibility requirements. Each year employees can elect to defer the
lesser of 15% of earned compensation or the maximum amount permitted by the
Internal Revenue Code. We may make contributions to the plan at our discretion.
We made no contribution to the plan for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and
2002 (unaudited). (NOTE: Prior to the effective date of the combination
transaction in April 2003, Telaxis had made matching contributions to the 401(k)
plan for its employees).

The Company has stock option plans that provide for the granting of options
to employees, directors, and consultants. The plans permit the granting of
options to purchase a maximum of 1,491,507 shares of common stock at various
prices and require that the options be exercisable at the prices and at the
times as determined by the Board of Directors, not to exceed ten years from date
of issuance. As of September 30, 2003, 619,580 options are available for
issuance under these plans.
A summary of the option activity is as follows:

===================== ===========================
We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS
123"), but apply the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25. For stock options granted during 2003, we have estimated
the fair value of each option granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.37% for the
options granted during 2003, expected volatility of 284%, expected option life
of 4 years and no dividend payment expected for 2003. Using these assumptions,
the fair value of the stock options granted in 2003 is $3.68 per stock option.
If we had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value
at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net
income per share would have been changed to the pro forma amount indicated
below:

14. Concentrations
We maintain our cash, cash equivalent, and restricted cash balances in
several banks. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $100,000 per bank. At September 30, 2003 (unaudited) and
December 31, 2002, the uninsured portion totaled approximately $6.1 million and
$976,000, respectively.
As of September 30, 2003 (unaudited) and December 31, 2002, accounts
receivable from none and two major customers, respectively, totaled
approximately $0 and $477,000, respectively, which represented 0% and 28%,
respectively, of total accounts receivable.
One customer accounted for 10% of sales for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 (unaudited). One customer accounted for 17% of sales for the quarter
ended September 30, 2003 (unaudited). No customer exceeded 10% of sales for the
three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 (unaudited).
For the three months ending September 30, 2002, two vendors accounted for
36% of cost of goods sold. For the same period ended September 30, 2003, two
vendors accounted for 48% of cost of goods sold. For the nine
15
months ended September 30, 2003 (unaudited), one vendor accounted for 28% of
cost of goods sold and for the same period ended September 30, 2002 (unaudited),
two vendors accounted for 37% of cost of goods sold.
15. Acquisition
The following describes the acquisition by Young Design of Telaxis
completed on April 1, 2003.
On April 1, 2003, Young Design merged with a subsidiary of Telaxis. For
accounting purposes, Young Design is treated as the acquirer since it was the
larger of the two entities and had significantly greater operating revenue, and
the assets and liabilities of Telaxis were recorded at fair value under the
purchase method of accounting. The condensed financial statements reflect the
results of operations of Telaxis from April 1, 2003.
The cost of the April 1, 2003 acquisition consisted of 9,792,180 shares of
common stock valued at $8.4 million and acquisition costs of approximately $0.2
million. Accounting for the transaction as a reverse merger resulted in an
excess of net assets over cost of $4.7 million. The valuation of the stock was
based on the average closing price for the five days preceding the acquisition.
Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are included below. Such pro forma information
assumes that the above acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, and revenue is presented in accordance with our accounting
policies. This summary is not necessarily indicative of what our results of
operations would have been had if we had been a combined entity during such
periods, nor does it purport to represent results of operations for any future
periods.

17. Contingencies
During the period from June 12 to September 13, 2001, four purported
securities class action lawsuits were filed against Telaxis in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York, Katz v. Telaxis Communications
Corporation et al., Kucera v. Telaxis Communications Corporation et al.,
Paquette v. Telaxis Communications Corporation et al., and Inglis v. Telaxis
Communications Corporation et al. The lawsuits also
16
named one or more of the underwriters in the Telaxis initial public offering and
certain of its officers and directors. On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a
single consolidated amended complaint which supersedes the individual complaints
originally filed. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, violations
of the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws due
to alleged statements in and omissions from the Telaxis initial public offering
registration statement concerning the underwriters' alleged activities in
connection with the underwriting of Telaxis' shares to the public. The amended
complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and costs associated
with the litigation. These lawsuits have been assigned along with, we
understand, approximately 1,000 other lawsuits making substantially similar
allegations against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies and their
public offering underwriters to a single federal judge in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York for consolidated pre-trial purposes.
We believe the claims against us are without merit and have defended the
litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, however,
and there can be no assurance that the outcome of these claims will be favorable
for us.
On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, Telaxis filed
a collective motion to dismiss the consolidated, amended complaints against the
issuers on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants.
The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss the claims against them.
In October 2002, the court approved a stipulation dismissing without prejudice
all claims against the Telaxis directors and officers who had been defendants in
the litigation. On February 19, 2003, the court issued its ruling on the
separate motions to dismiss filed by the issuer defendants and the underwriter
defendants. The court granted in part and denied in part the issuer defendants'
motions. The court dismissed, with prejudice, all claims brought against Telaxis
under the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws. The court denied the
motion to dismiss the claims brought under the registration provisions of the
securities laws (which do not require that intent to defraud be pleaded) as to
Telaxis and as to substantially all of the other issuer defendants. The court
denied the underwriter defendants' motion to dismiss in all respects.
In June 2003, we elected to participate in a proposed settlement agreement
with the plaintiffs in this litigation. This decision was made by a special
independent committee of our board of directors. We understand that a large
majority of the other issuer defendants have also elected to participate in this
settlement. If ultimately approved by the court, this proposed settlement would
result in a dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against
us and against the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the
proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors
of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed
settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the
underwriter defendants. The proposed settlement provides that the insurers of
the participating issuer defendants will guarantee that the plaintiffs in the
cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will recover at least
$1 billion. This means there will be no monetary obligation to the plaintiffs if
they recover $1 billion or more from the underwriter defendants. In addition, we
and the other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the
plaintiffs certain claims that the participating issuer defendants may have
against the underwriters of their IPOs.
The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the
guarantee contained in the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come
from participating issuers' directors and officers liability insurance policy
proceeds as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves.
A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of
the settlement if that issuer's insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that
issuer's allocable share of the settlement costs. Therefore, the potential
exposure of each participating issuer defendant should decrease as the number of
participating issuer defendants increases. We currently expect that our
insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that we will not
otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement.
Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon, among other
things, negotiating, executing, and filing with the court final settlement
documents and final approval by the court. If the proposed settlement described
above is not consummated, we intend to continue to defend the litigation
vigorously. Moreover, if the proposed settlement is not consummated, we believe
that the underwriters may have an obligation to indemnify us for the legal fees
and other costs of defending these suits. While there can be no assurance as to
the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, we currently believe that the final
result of these actions will have no material effect on our consolidated
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

18. Corporate Structural Changes
On July 9, 2003, Telaxis effected a reverse 1-for-100 split of its
outstanding common stock, a forward 25-for-1 split of its common stock
outstanding after the reverse stock split, the reincorporation of Telaxis from
Massachusetts to Delaware, and the change of its corporate name to "YDI
Wireless, Inc."
No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split.
Fractional shares held by any stockholder with less than 100 shares in its
account were cashed out at a price of $0.954 for each share outstanding before
the reverse stock split, which is based on the average trading prices of our
common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days
ended on July 9, 2003. Due to this fractional share treatment, 39,976 pre-split
shares were cancelled for approximately $38,000. The effect of the stock splits
has been reflected for all periods presented.
No fractional shares were issued as a result of the forward stock split.
Any stockholder who was entitled to a fractional share after the forward stock
split had that stockholder's holdings rounded up to the next whole share. The
Company issued 96 shares to these shareholders in the aggregate.
Both the reincorporation into Delaware and the corporate name change were
effected through a merger of Telaxis, a Massachusetts corporation, and YDI
Wireless, a Delaware corporation formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Telaxis
for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation and name change. YDI Wireless
was the surviving corporation in the merger. The merger was effected pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reincorporation, dated as of June 23, 2003,
by and between Telaxis and YDI Wireless, which merger agreement was duly
approved by the stockholders of Telaxis at their 2003 annual meeting.
In connection with the merger and pursuant to the merger agreement, each
share of Telaxis' common stock, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was automatically
converted into the right to receive one share of YDI Wireless common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, with the result that YDI Wireless is now the publicly
held corporation and Telaxis has been merged out of existence by operation of
law. The stockholders of Telaxis immediately prior to the merger were the
stockholders of YDI Wireless immediately after the merger, subject to the
effects of the reverse stock split described above. YDI Wireless' common stock
will continue to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, but the ticker
symbol has been changed to "YDIW."
19. Subsequent Event
On October 31, 2003 YDI signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire
Phazar Corp. (Nasdaq:ANTP). Under the terms of the agreement, Phazar
stockholders will receive 1.2 shares of YDI common stock for each share of
Phazar common stock. This exchange ratio will not be adjusted for changes in the
price of either YDI common stock or Phazar common stock. Based on shares
currently outstanding, YDI stockholders would own approximately 87% of the
combined entity and Phazar stockholders would own approximately 13%. One member
of Phazar's board of directors will join YDI's board of directors. The agreement
is subject to the approval of Phazar shareholders and any unforeseen
circumstances. YDI expects to complete the acquisition prior to March 31, 2004.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Overview
On April 1, 2003, Telaxis Communications Corporation ("Telaxis") closed a
strategic combination transaction with Young Design, Inc., a privately-held
Virginia corporation ("Young Design"). In that transaction, Telaxis formed a
subsidiary that merged with and into Young Design and each outstanding share of
Young Design common stock was converted into the right to receive 2.5 shares of
Telaxis common stock. Telaxis was the continuing corporation, Telaxis
stockholders continued to hold Telaxis common stock following the transaction,
and Young Design became a wholly owned subsidiary of Telaxis. In the
transaction, Telaxis issued 37,499,999 shares of its common stock to the two
former stockholders of Young Design. Immediately after the closing of the
transaction, Telaxis had 54,208,312 shares of common stock outstanding. Telaxis
also started doing business as "YDI Wireless" following that combination.
The results of operations of Telaxis are included in the consolidated
financial statements from April 1, 2003, the closing date of the acquisition.
Financial information provided for prior periods is historical financial
information of Young Design only, unless otherwise noted to the contrary. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the excess of net assets over
the purchase price was recorded as negative goodwill and immediately recognized
into income as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
At the annual stockholders meeting on June 24, 2003, the Telaxis
stockholders approved a reverse 1-for-100 split of its outstanding common stock,
a forward 25-for-1 split of its common stock outstanding after the reverse stock
split, the reincorporation of Telaxis from Massachusetts to Delaware, and the
change of its name from "Telaxis Communications Corporation" to "YDI Wireless,
Inc." These changes became effective July 9, 2003.
We are a world leader in providing extended range, license free wireless
data equipment. The recent combination brought together Young Design's
license-free products that extend the range of IEEE 802.11 wireless local area
network systems, point-to-point wireless backhaul products, diverse and broad
customer base, and deep market and industry experience with Telaxis'
high-frequency millimeter-wave expertise and FiberLeap(TM) and EtherLeap(TM)
products. In addition, we are a leading designer of turnkey long distance
wireless systems for applications such as wireless Internet, wireless video,
wireless local area networks (LANs), wireless wide area networks (WANs),
wireless metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wireless virtual private
networks. We supply products and systems capable of transmitting data at rates
ranging from 19.9 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps).
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect: the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. We are required to make judgments and
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual
results could differ from our estimates. The most significant areas involving
our judgments and estimates are described below.
Inventory Valuation
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined
on a first-in, first-out basis. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete
inventory to its estimated net realizable value. The process for evaluating the
value of excess and obsolete inventory often requires us to make subjective
judgments and estimates concerning future sales levels, quantities and prices at
which such inventory will be able to be sold in the normal course of business.
Accelerating the disposal process or incorrect estimates of future sales
potential may necessitate future adjustments to these provisions.
19
Accounts Receivable Valuation
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the
financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be
required.
Result of Operations

=============== ========== ============ ==========
Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002
Sales
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $8.0 million as
compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2002 for an increase of $2.9
million or 57%. The increase in sales is attributed to the addition of sales and
marketing resources, introduction of new products, and the receipt of a
relatively large order from one customer during the third quarter of 2003 for
one of these new products.
Costs of goods sold and gross profit
Costs of goods sold and gross profit for the three months ended September
30, 2003 were $3.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. For the same period
in 2002, costs of goods sold and gross profit were $3.2 million and $1.9
million, respectively. Gross margin for the three-month periods ending September
30, 2003 and 2002 were 53% and 37%, respectively. During the third quarter 2003,
we introduced several new products to the market place and realized higher than
usual margins. As competitive products are introduced to the market (which we
expect will happen), we believe that these margins will stabilize closer to
historical levels. We also implemented several manufacturing efficiencies and
strategies that reduced our costs and increased our gross profit. In addition,
we were able to utilize significant component inventory that was valued at below
current replacement cost which resulted in a non-recurring improvement in gross
margin. In summary, we expect our weighted average cost of goods sold to return
to our historical levels despite continued efforts to introduce less costly
manufacturing alternative and introduce new products.
20
Sales and marketing
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and
associated costs for selling, marketing, and customer support. Selling and
marketing expenses increased to $0.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
2002. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily a result of
added personnel to address the growing market for the Company's expanded product
line.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries
and associated costs for information systems, finance, legal, and
administration. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.8 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $0.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in general and administrative
expenses primarily consists of costs associated with a public company as well as
the costs of combining Young Design and Telaxis.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and
related costs associated with our product development efforts. These include
costs for development of products and components, test equipment and related
facilities. Gross research and development expenses increased to $0.7 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $0.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2002. The research and development cost increase is
attributable to an increase in engineering personnel and the support of the
expanded product line that resulted from the Telaxis combination.
Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 of $0.4
million relates to an increase in the valuation allowance associated with the
deferred tax assets that had been recorded as of December 31, 2002. As of
September 30, 2003, we cannot predict when sufficient taxable income will be
generated to justify carrying deferred tax assets on our balance sheet without a
valuation allowance. Therefore, we have written off these assets on our balance
sheet. Had it not been for the write off of the deferred tax assets, we would
have had no income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.
Provision for income taxes for the quarter ending September 30, 2002 in the
amount of $0.2 million relates to an estimated effective tax rate of 42%.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002
Sales
Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 were $21.7 million
as compared to $15.0 million for the same period in 2002 for an increase of $6.7
million or 45%. The increase in sales is attributed to the addition of sales and
marketing resources, introduction of new products, and the receipt of relatively
large orders from one customer during the first nine months of 2003 for one of
these new products.
Costs of goods sold and gross profit
Cost of goods sold and gross profit for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 were $13.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively. For the same period in
2002, costs of goods sold and gross profit were $9.7 million and $5.3 million,
respectively. Gross margin for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2003
and 2002 were 39% and 36%, respectively. During the third quarter 2003, we
introduced several new products to the market place and realized higher than
usual margins. As competitive products are introduced to the market (which we
expect will happen), we believe that these margins will stabilize closer to
historical levels. We also implemented several manufacturing efficiencies and
strategies that reduced our costs and increased our gross profit. In addition,
we were able to utilize significant component inventory that was valued at below
current replacement cost which resulted in a non-recurring improvement in gross
margin. In summary, we expect our weighted average cost of goods sold to return
to our historical levels despite continued efforts to introduce less costly
manufacturing alternatives and introduce new products.
21
Sales and marketing
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and
associated costs for selling, marketing, and customer support. Selling and
marketing expenses increased to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 from $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The
increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily a result of added
personnel to address the growing market for the Company's expanded product line.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries
and associated costs for information systems, finance, legal, and
administration. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $3.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002. The increase was due primarily to the increase
in sales volume, costs associated with a public company, and the costs
associated with combining Young Design and Telaxis.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and
related costs associated with our product development efforts. These include
costs for development of products and components, test equipment and related
facilities. Gross research and development expenses increased to $1.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $0.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002. The research and development cost increase is
attributable to an increase in engineering personnel and the support of the
expanded product line that resulted from the Telaxis combination.
Other Income
The increase in other income was due to a one-time gain from the Telaxis
combination. The amount of net assets over costs associated with the Telaxis
combination created a $4.7 million gain that was immediately recognized in
accordance with SFAS No. 142 at the time of the combination.
Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes for the nine months ending September 30, 2003 in
the amount of $0.2 million relates to (1)an increase in the valuation allowance
associated with the deferred tax assets of $0.4 million that had been recorded
as of December 31, 2002 offset by (2) the tax benefit from carrying back of
existing net operating losses to recover taxes previously paid. As of September
30, 2003, we cannot predict when sufficient taxable income will be generated to
justify carrying deferred tax assets on our balance sheet without a valuation
allowance. Provision for income taxes for the nine months ending September 30,
2002 in the amount of $0.2 million relates to an estimated effective tax rate of
42%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.4 million
(including restricted cash of $0.1 million) and marketable securities of $1.1
million.
The increase in accounts receivable to $2.4 million at September 30, 2003
from $1.7 million at December 31, 2002 reflects the increase in sales as a
result of an expanded customer base and new product introduction while
maintaining a consistent DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) of approximately 30 days
for both reporting periods. The increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses to $3.4 million at September 30, 2003 from $2.1 million at December 31,
2002 reflects increased payables due to the increase in sales volumes, but
primarily was caused by Telaxis' accruals for severances, accrued vacation,
reserves for discontinued operations, and related costs of the combination
transaction.
22
Cash provided by the operating activities in the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 was $1.0 million compared to $0.7 million for the same period
in 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, cash provided by
operating activities primarily represented our net income.
Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 was $4.9 million compared to cash utilized by investing activities of
$0.4 million for the same period in 2002. In the nine months ended September 30,
2003, these amounts related primarily to the purchase of Telaxis by Young
Design. As for the nine month period ending September 30, 2002, these amounts
related primarily to the purchase of securities for investment and capital
expenditures required in support of business growth.
Cash used by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30,
2003 was $0.6 million compared to cash provided of $0.5 million for the same
period in 2002. The financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 consisted primarily of payments on capital lease obligations and long-term
debt offset by the issuance of notes payable for new product acquisitions and
related intellectual property for these products. The financing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 consisted primarily of the issuance of
notes payable for the acquisition of a new product line to complement our
existing product offerings.
Our 2003 and future cash requirements will depend upon a number of factors,
including the impact of the Young Design - Telaxis combination, the timing and
extent of growth in our product lines, the timing and level of research and
development activities and sales and marketing campaigns, and our ability to
generate sales orders while controlling manufacturing and overhead costs. We
believe that our cash and marketable securities at September 30, 2003 will
provide sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least 12 months.
However, our capital needs may be higher or lower depending on a number of
factors, primary among them being the results we achieve as a combined company.
We may require additional capital to fund our operations. In addition, from time
to time we evaluate opportunities to acquire complementary technologies or
companies. Should we identify any of these opportunities, we may need to raise
additional capital to fund our operations as well as the costs associated with
the acquisitions. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available to us on favorable terms or at all.

Subsequent Event
On October 31, 2003 YDI signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire
Phazar Corp. (Nasdaq:ANTP). Under the terms of the agreement, Phazar
stockholders will receive 1.2 shares of YDI common stock for each share of
Phazar common stock. This exchange ratio will not be adjusted for changes in the
price of either YDI common stock or Phazar common stock. Based on shares
currently outstanding, YDI stockholders would own approximately 87% of the
combined entity and Phazar stockholders would own approximately 13%. One member
of Phazar's board of directors will join YDI's board of directors. The agreement
is subject to the approval of Phazar shareholders and any unforeseen
circumstances. YDI expects to complete the acquisition prior to March 31, 2004.

Disclosures about Market Risk
The following discusses our exposure to market risk related to changes in
interest rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements that are exposed to risks and
uncertainties, many of which are out of our control. Actual results could vary
materially as a result of a number of factors, including those discussed above
under "Part I - Financial Information" and below under "Safe Harbor for
Forward-Looking Statements."
As of September 30, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.4 million.
Substantially all of these amounts consisted of highly liquid investments with
remaining maturities at the date of purchase of less than 90 days. As of
September 30, 2003, we had marketable securities of $1.1 million which consisted
of short-term, interest bearing, investment grade securities or direct or
guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government with maturities through March
2004. These investments are exposed to interest rate risk and will decrease in
value to the extent that market interest rates increase. We believe a
hypothetical increase in market interest rates of up to as much as 10 percent
from the September 30, 2003 rates would not cause the fair value of these
investments to decline significantly, since our investments mature within twelve
months. Although an immediate increase in interest rates would not have a
material effect on our financial condition or results of operations, declines in
interest rates over time will reduce our interest income.
The vast majority of our current sales are made to customers in the United
States and any international sales are negotiated and paid-for in United States
Dollars, therefore we have minimal foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
General Overview
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements as
defined by federal securities laws that are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, expectations, intentions, projections, developments, future
events, performance or products, underlying assumptions, and other statements,
which are other than statements of historical facts. In some cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as ``may,'' ``will,''
``should,'' ``expects,'' ``intends,'' ``plans,'' ``anticipates,''
"contemplates," ``believes,'' ``estimates,'' ``predicts,'' ``projects,''
``potential,'' ``continue,'' and other similar terminology or the negative of
these terms. From time to time, we may publish or otherwise make available
forward-looking statements of this nature. All such forward-looking statements,
whether written or oral, and whether made by us or on our behalf, are expressly
qualified by the cautionary statements described in this Form 10-Q, including
those set forth below, and any other cautionary statements which may accompany
the forward-looking statements. In addition, we undertake no obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events, circumstances,
or new information after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated or any other subsequent events, and we disclaim any such
obligation.
Forward-looking statements are only predictions that relate to future
events or our future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause actual results,
outcomes, levels of activity, performance, developments, or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, outcomes, levels of activity,
performance, developments, or achievements expressed, anticipated, or implied by
these forward-looking statements. As a result, we cannot guarantee future
results, outcomes, levels of activity, performance, developments, or
achievements, and there can be no assurance that our expectations, intentions,
anticipations, beliefs, or projections will result or be achieved or
accomplished.
Cautionary Statements of General Applicability
In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this Form
10-Q, in our other periodic reports and filings made from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and in our other public
24
statements from time to time (including, without limitation, our press
releases), some of the important factors that, in our view, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed, anticipated, or implied in
the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, a severe worldwide
slowdown in the telecommunications equipment market; the downturn and ongoing
uncertainty in the telecommunications industry and larger economy; developments
in our relatively new industry and in the larger economy; the intense
competition in the telecommunications equipment industry and resulting pressures
on our pricing, gross margins, and general financial performance; the impact,
availability, pricing, and success of competing technologies and products;
difficulties in distinguishing our products from competing technologies and
products; difficulties or delays in obtaining customers; dependence on a limited
number of significant customers; lack of or delay in market acceptance and
demand for our current and contemplated products; difficulties or delays in
obtaining raw materials, subassemblies, or other components for our products at
the times, in the quantities, and at the prices we desire or expect; our having
limited capital; working capital constraints; the expense of defending and the
outcome of pending and future stockholder litigation, including without
limitation, our possible exposure under the contemplated settlement of that
litigation; our recent focus on certain aspects of our current business;
difficulties or delays inherent in entering new markets and business areas;
difficulties or delays in developing and establishing new products, product
lines, and business lines; difficulties or delays in developing, manufacturing,
and supplying products with the contemplated or desired features, performance,
price, cost, and other characteristics; difficulties in estimating costs of
developing and supplying products; difficulties in developing, manufacturing,
and supplying products in a timely and cost-effective manner; difficulties or
delays in developing improved products when expected or desired and with the
additional features contemplated or desired; our limited ability to predict our
future financial performance; our inability to predict the date of our
profitability; the expected fluctuation in our quarterly results; the expected
fluctuation in customer demand and commitments; the expected volatility in our
stock price, particularly now that our common stock is traded on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board; issues associated with continued listing on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board; difficulties in attracting and retaining
qualified personnel, particularly in light of our business uncertainty, previous
workforce restructurings, and lower stock price; our dependence on key
personnel; inability to protect our proprietary technology; the potential for
intellectual property infringement, warranty, product liability, and other
claims; failure of our customers to sell broadband connectivity solutions that
include our products; difficulties in our customers or ultimate end users of our
products obtaining sufficient funding; cancellation of orders without penalties;
difficulties in complying with existing governmental regulations and
developments or changes in governmental regulation; difficulties or delays in
obtaining any necessary governmental or regulatory permits, waivers, or
approvals; our dependence on third-party suppliers and manufacturers;
difficulties in obtaining satisfactory performance from third-party
manufacturers and suppliers; risks associated with foreign sales such as
collection, currency and political risk; investment risk resulting in the
decrease in value of our investments; difficulties in collecting our accounts
receivable; future stock sales by our current stockholders, including our
directors and management; the effect of our anti-takeover defenses; and risks
associated with any acquisitions or investments in which we may be involved.
Many of these and other risks and uncertainties are described in more detail in
our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Specific Cautionary Statements Relating to the Contemplated Acquisition of
Phazar Corp.
On October 30, 2003, YDI Wireless announced a definitive merger agreement
to acquire Phazar Corp. There can be no assurance whatsoever that this
acquisition or any other combination transaction between YDI and Phazar will be
consummated. Risks associated with or arising from this contemplated transaction
include risks relating to the companies' ability and desire to satisfy the
conditions to closing the transaction set forth in the definitive transaction
documentation (including, without limitation, the need to obtain the approval of
Phazar's stockholders); the substantial time and costs each company will be
expending and incurring relating to a contemplated transaction; the ability to
obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and clearances, including federal and
state securities registrations, qualifications, approvals, clearances, and/or
exemptions, needed to consummate a transaction; the ability of the companies to
integrate in a cost-effective, timely manner without material loss of employees,
customers, or suppliers; the risk that the expected synergies and other benefits
of the transaction will not be realized at all or to the extent expected; the
risk that cost savings from the transaction may not be fully realized or may
take longer to realize than expected; reactions, either positive or negative, of
investors, competitors, customers, suppliers, employees, and others to the
transaction; the time and costs required to complete the contemplated
transaction and then integrate the companies; management and board interest in
and distraction due to the contemplated transaction; the uncertain impact on the
trading market, volume, and price of each company's stock; difficulties in
predicting the combined company's future business and financial performance;
costs and delays in implementing common systems and procedures, including
financial accounting systems; and the fact that the registration, issuance,
and/or future sale of a large number of shares of our common stock may cause a
stagnation or decline in the market price of our common stock.
Specific Cautionary Statements Relating to the Strategic Combination of Young
Design and Telaxis
On April 1, 2003, Young Design and Telaxis closed a strategic combination
transaction. There can be no assurance whatsoever that this combination will
ultimately be successful or beneficial to our stockholders. Risks associated
with or arising from this recent transaction include risks relating to the
ability of the companies to integrate in a cost-effective, timely manner without
material loss of employees, customers, or suppliers; the time and costs required
to integrate the companies; the distraction caused by this integration process;
the risk that the expected synergies and other benefits of the combination will
not be realized at all or to the extent expected; the risk that the contemplated
cost savings from the combination may not be fully realized or may take longer
to realize than expected; reactions, either negative or positive, of investors,
competitors, customers, suppliers, employees, and others to the combination;
management and board interest in and distraction due to this transaction; risks
arising from personnel changes since the combination; costs and delays in
implementing common systems and procedures, including financial accounting
systems; risks associated with Young Design's lack of experience operating as a
public company, including the process of periodic financial reporting; risks
associated with Young Design's need to adopt and implement in a short period of
time a number of additional accounting controls, procedures, policies, and
systems to facilitate timely and accurate periodic financial reporting; the
possible need for the combined company to hire additional accounting staff,
including individuals familiar with periodic financial reporting; and the fact
that the
25
issuance and/or future sale of a very large number of shares of common
stock may cause a stagnation or decline in the market price of our common stock.
Possible Implications of Cautionary Statements
The items described above, either individually or in some combination,
could have a material adverse impact on our reputation, business, need for
additional capital, ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing,
current and contemplated products gaining market acceptance, development of new
products and new areas of business, cash flow, results of operations, financial
condition, stock price, viability as an ongoing company, results, outcomes,
levels of activity, performance, developments, or achievements. Given these
uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In April, 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, "Amendment of Statement
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement amends
Statement 133 for decisions made by the Derivatives Implementation Group, in
particular the meaning of an initial net investment, the meaning of underlying
and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components.
Presently, we have no derivative financial instruments and, therefore, believe
that adoption of the Statement will have no effect on our financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." The
Statement requires that the issuer classify certain instruments as liabilities,
rather than equity, or so-called mezzanine equity. Presently, we have no
financial instruments that come under the scope of the Statement and, therefore,
believe that adoption of the new Statement will have no impact on our financial
statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We have sales in various regions of the world. Additionally, we may export
and import to and from other countries. Our sales may therefore be subject to
volatility because of changes in political and economic conditions in these
countries.
We presently do not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge our
exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
fluctuations in commodity prices or other market risks; nor do we invest in
speculative financial instruments.
Due to the nature of our borrowings and our short-term investments, we have
concluded that there is no material market risk exposure and, therefore, no
quantitative tabular disclosures are required.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of
September 30, 2003, have concluded that as of such date our disclosure controls
and procedures were adequate and effective.
Internal controls
There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
26
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
During the period from June 12 to September 13, 2001, four purported
securities class action lawsuits were filed against Telaxis in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York, Katz v. Telaxis Communications
Corporation et al., Kucera v. Telaxis Communications Corporation et al.,
Paquette v. Telaxis Communications Corporation et al., and Inglis v. Telaxis
Communications Corporation et al. The lawsuits also named one or more of the
underwriters in the Telaxis initial public offering and certain of its officers
and directors. On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a single consolidated
amended complaint which supersedes the individual complaints originally filed.
The amended complaint alleges, among other things, violations of the
registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws due to
alleged statements in and omissions from the Telaxis initial public offering
registration statement concerning the underwriters' alleged activities in
connection with the underwriting of Telaxis' shares to the public. The amended
complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and costs associated
with the litigation. These lawsuits have been assigned along with, we
understand, approximately 1,000 other lawsuits making substantially similar
allegations against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies and their
public offering underwriters to a single federal judge in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York for consolidated pre-trial purposes.
We believe the claims against us are without merit and have defended the
litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, however,
and there can be no assurance that the outcome of these claims will be favorable
for us.
On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, Telaxis filed
a collective motion to dismiss the consolidated, amended complaints against the
issuers on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants.
The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss the claims against them.
In October 2002, the court approved a stipulation dismissing without prejudice
all claims against the Telaxis directors and officers who had been defendants in
the litigation. On February 19, 2003, the court issued its ruling on the
separate motions to dismiss filed by the issuer defendants and the underwriter
defendants. The court granted in part and denied in part the issuer defendants'
motions. The court dismissed, with prejudice, all claims brought against Telaxis
under the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws. The court denied the
motion to dismiss the claims brought under the registration provisions of the
securities laws (which do not require that intent to defraud be pleaded) as to
Telaxis and as to substantially all of the other issuer defendants. The court
denied the underwriter defendants' motion to dismiss in all respects.
In June 2003, we elected to participate in a proposed settlement agreement
with the plaintiffs in this litigation. This decision was made by a special
independent committee of our board of directors. We understand that a large
majority of the other issuer defendants have also elected to participate in this
settlement. If ultimately approved by the court, this proposed settlement would
result in a dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against
us and against the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the
proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors
of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed
settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the
underwriter defendants. The proposed settlement provides that the insurers of
the participating issuer defendants will guarantee that the plaintiffs in the
cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will recover at least
$1 billion. This means there will be no monetary obligation to the plaintiffs if
they recover $1 billion or more from the underwriter defendants. In addition, we
and the other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the
plaintiffs certain claims that the participating issuer defendants may have
against the underwriters of their IPOs.
The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the
guarantee contained in the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come
from participating issuers' directors and officers liability insurance policy
proceeds as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves.
A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of
the settlement if that issuer's insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that
issuer's allocable share of the settlement costs. Therefore, the potential
exposure of each participating issuer defendant should decrease as the number of
participating issuer defendants increases. We currently expect that our
insurance proceeds will be sufficient for these purposes and that we will not
otherwise be required to contribute to the proposed settlement.
27
Consummation of the proposed settlement is conditioned upon, among other
things, negotiating, executing, and filing with the court final settlement
documents and final approval by the court. If the proposed settlement described
above is not consummated, we intend to continue to defend the litigation
vigorously. Moreover, if the proposed settlement is not consummated, we believe
that the underwriters may have an obligation to indemnify us for the legal fees
and other costs of defending these suits. While there can be no assurance as to
the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, we currently believe that the final
result of these actions will have no material effect on our consolidated
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
We issued 13,892 shares of common stock at $2.08 per share in June 2003 to
a warrant holder upon the exercise of warrants on a cashless basis (we withheld
14,743 shares of common stock as payment for the aggregate exercise price of the
warrants). We received no cash proceeds from the issuance of these shares. The
issuance was completed without registration under the Securities Act in reliance
upon the exemptions contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule
506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act for transactions not
involving a public offering. This issuance of common stock by us did not involve
the use of an underwriter, and no commissions were paid in connection with this
issuance.
Corporate Structural Changes
On July 9, 2003, Telaxis effected a reverse 1-for-100 split of its
outstanding common stock, a forward 25-for-1 split of its common stock
outstanding after the reverse stock split, the reincorporation of Telaxis from
Massachusetts to Delaware, and the change of its corporate name to "YDI
Wireless, Inc."
No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split.
Fractional shares held by any stockholder with less than 100 shares in its
account will be cashed out at a price of $0.954 for each share outstanding
before the reverse stock split, which is based on the average trading prices of
our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days
ending on July 9, 2003. Due to this fractional share treatment, 39,976 pre-split
shares were cancelled for approximately $38,000.
No fractional shares were issued as a result of the forward stock split.
Any stockholder who was entitled to a fractional share after the forward stock
split had that stockholder's holdings rounded up to the next whole share. The
Company issued 96 shares to these shareholders in the aggregate.
Both the reincorporation into Delaware and the corporate name change were
effected through a merger of Telaxis, a Massachusetts corporation, and YDI
Wireless, a Delaware corporation formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Telaxis
for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation and name change. YDI Wireless
was the surviving corporation in the merger. The merger was effected pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reincorporation, dated as of June 23, 2003,
by and between Telaxis and YDI Wireless, which merger agreement was duly
approved by the stockholders of Telaxis at their 2003 annual meeting.
In connection with the merger and pursuant to the merger agreement, each
share of Telaxis' common stock, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was automatically
converted into the right to receive one share of YDI Wireless common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, with the result that YDI Wireless is now the publicly
held corporation and Telaxis has been merged out of existence by operation of
law. The stockholders of Telaxis immediately prior to the merger were the
stockholders of YDI Wireless immediately after the merger, subject to the
effects of the reverse stock split described above. YDI Wireless' common stock
will continue to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, but the ticker
symbol has been changed to "YDIW."
28
Termination of Stockholder Rights Plan
On May 15, 2003, Telaxis and Registrar and Transfer Company, as rights
agent, entered into an amendment to Telaxis' stockholder rights plan. The
purpose of this amendment was to terminate the substantive effect of the rights
plan immediately before Telaxis reincorporated into Delaware.
The May 15, 2003 amendment amended the rights plan by shortening the period
of time within which the stock purchase rights issued or issuable under the plan
are exercisable. The rights plan previously provided that the rights would be
exercisable until the earlier of (i) ten years after the rights plan was
originally executed or (ii) the date that the rights are redeemed in accordance
with the plan. The amendment revised those provisions to provide that the rights
are exercisable until the earliest of (i) ten years after the rights plan was
originally executed, (ii) the date that the rights are redeemed in accordance
with the plan, and (iii) one minute before the effectiveness of the
reincorporation merger of Telaxis and YDI Wireless. Accordingly, because our
stockholders did approve and we did implement the reincorporation merger, none
of the rights are exercisable any longer.
Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.
(a) Exhibits
See Exhibit Index.
(b) Reports on Form 8-K
On July 16, 2003, we filed a report on Form 8-K to report that, on July 9,
2003, we effected a reverse 1-for-100 split of our outstanding common stock, a
forward 25-for-1 split of our common stock outstanding after the reverse stock
split, the reincorporation of the company from Massachusetts to Delaware, and
the change of our corporate name to "YDI Wireless, Inc."
On July 21, 2003, we filed a report on Form 8-K to report that YDI Wireless
had assumed the Telaxis stock option plans and stock options and was adopting
the registration statements relating to those stock option plans and stock
options..
On August 1, 2003, we filed a report on Form 8-K to report a press release
relating to the earnings announcement for the second quarter ending June 30,
2003.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
