Note 1—General
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Microlog Corporation and its subsidiaries at July 31, 2002 and October 31, 2001, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the nine month period ended July 31, 2002 and July 31, 2001.

The significant accounting principles and practices followed by the Company are set forth in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Microlog Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2001.
 
Note 2—Revenue Recognition
 
Sales of products are recognized upon shipment unless the related product requires further customization in which case the revenue is deferred until the customization process is complete. The Company generates software revenues from licensing the right to use its software products and also generates service revenues from implementation and installation services, ongoing maintenance, training services, and professional services performed.
 
Revenue from software license agreements is recognized upon shipment of the software if: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; sufficient vendor specific objective evidence exists to support allocating the total fee to all elements of the arrangement; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is probable.
 
Ongoing maintenance contracts, which include software upgrades, are invoiced separately and revenue is earned ratably over the term of the contract. Revenue from implementation and installation services is recognized when the services have been completed. Revenue from training and professional services is recognized when the services are completed.

General
 
Microlog Corporation is an interactive communications software company that provides advanced Web-based customer interaction management solutions for businesses seeking to better serve their customers. Microlog offers an integrated suite of products and services that blend with existing corporate applications and infrastructure to accomplish both automated response functions, such as interactive voice response (IVR) email, and Web, as well as intelligent interactions between customers and contact center agents. Interactions today include telephone, voice messages, email, Web chat, Web callback, Web collaboration, Web bulletin board, voice over IP, fax and scanned hardcopy mail.
 
Microlog caters to businesses and institutions seeking to serve their customers through advanced, user-friendly, customer contact and relationship management systems. This approach advocates retaining and/or acquiring applications and components, which best suit the customer’s business objectives, while enhancing the customer’s experience. Microlog’s products and services are designed to serve as middleware to integrate existing components such as legacy applications, database applications, CRM applications, PBX or ACD switches, Web sites, email servers, IVR and fax servers, in a manner that affords consistent operation across diverse systems and contact types, while preserving investments in the existing components. Microlog’s products are Web-centric, which means major functions are accomplished through a central server suite, and only Java-enabled browsers or network computers are required for agent desktop operations. This facilitates lower costs and eases the implementation of distributed operations afforded by Internet technologies.
 
Microlog’s integrated suite of customer contact and relationship management products is called the uniQue® (pronounced you-knee-que) family of contact center solutions. This family of solutions includes uniQue RM (Relationship Management), uniQue Web, uniQue eMail, uniQue Voice, uniQue Fax, uniQue VoIP, uniQue CTI, and uniQue IVR. uniQue can be implemented as a total solution, or any family member can be installed as an individual solution for an existing contact center. In addition, businesses can add different uniQue media types in a modular fashion as they expand their customer contact facilities. For example, customers can start with a telephone solution and subsequently add an email solution, web solution or fax solution. This openness and modularity is complemented by uniform and easy-to-use management facilities, as well as comprehensive cross-media statistics and reporting. The name “uniQue” derives from “unified queuing,” and this refers to uniQue’s ability to allow easy management of multiple media types in one virtual queue, allowing “automated contact distribution,” prioritized routing by customer, skills-based routing and multiple campaign management.
 
To complement its suite of uniQue products, Microlog offers the following services: technology assessment, requirements analysis and documentation, project management, application and software development, system integration, telephony integration, installation, system administration and quality assurance.
 
Microlog, a Virginia corporation, headquartered in Germantown, Maryland, was organized in 1969. Microlog Corporation of Maryland, Microlog’s operating subsidiary, has two major subdivisions: the Contact Center Solutions (CCS) division and the Old Dominion Systems division. The Contact Center Solutions division, which operates the uniQue business generally as described above, represents Microlog’s primary focus and product future. Accordingly, the Company has focused its resources on developing the Contact Center Solutions division. The charter of the division is to help the Company’s customers serve their customers better through the use of technology in corporate contact centers performing customer relationship management. Through its Old Dominion Systems division, the Company provides performance analysis and technical and administrative support services to the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), of the Johns Hopkins University, a prime contractor to the U.S. Navy. Although this segment of the business has historically provided a significant source of sales and profits, this division will not generate significant future

revenue, as the contract expires at the end of September 2002. In August 2002, the division began to wind down its operations and terminate its remaining employees.
 
Operations
 
Operating losses through the year ended October 31, 2001 severely impacted the Company’s financial position and liquidity. As of July 31, 2002, the Company had a working capital deficit of $175,000 and stockholders’ deficit of $385,000. Funding for operations in fiscal 2002 has been provided by collections of accounts receivable, and amounts drawn during the first quarter of the year from Convertible Subordinate Notes made available to the Company by a major shareholder who also has representation on the Board of Directors of the Company. Management believes that it has continued to take the necessary steps to improve its operations and enhance its ability to meet its ongoing cash flow needs. To lower its breakeven point for generating cash flow from operations, management took several measures to reduce costs in fiscal 2001 and has continued these measures during fiscal 2002, primarily through a reduction of its personnel in the Contact Center Solutions division. The Company has reduced its staff headcount in fiscal 2002 from 44 to 29 employees. In December 2001, the Company reconfigured its headquarters office space and successfully sublet a portion of that space. This sublease will save the Company approximately $80,000 in fiscal 2002 and $95,000 in fiscal 2003. Altogether, it is estimated that cost containment initiatives will result in reductions of selling, general and administrative expense by as much as $1.2 million in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001, and research and development expense by approximately $600,000 in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001 expenditures. The Company also anticipates improvements in gross margins in fiscal 2002 from adjustments to its work force to better align its capacity with current demand for its products; however, the financial impact of such reductions is more difficult to estimate due to the effect of changes in sales volume.
 
While the Company’s sales cycle has increased in recent years from approximately six to seven months to as much as ten months to a year, management believes, based in part on orders received for its products and services since October 31, 2001, demand for its products and services will be sufficient to begin experiencing increases in Contact Center Solutions sales in fiscal 2002 over prior year levels. The Company has targeted four principal markets for its products and services; Federal and State governments, Health Care, Utilities, and Gaming (e.g., Lottery Boards and Off Track Betting). Management believes these sectors are relatively well insulated to the negative effects of the current downturn in the United States economy. In addition, based on past sales experience and ongoing interest shown in the Company’s products, each has a robust need for integrated contact center solutions such as those offered by the Company. Lastly, the Company believes its uniQue product line is well suited to meet the growing demand for solutions which integrate information from multiple existing platforms and databases, mitigating the need for potential customers to abandon legacy systems in which they have invested heavily.

Total sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2002 were $1.5 million which was a 6% decrease compared to $1.6 million for the same three month period ended July 31, 2001. For the nine months ended July 31, 2002, total sales were $4.5 million compared to $5.9 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2001, or a 23% decrease overall. The decrease in comparative Q3 and nine-month sales is due largely to the loss of a significant revenue stream from the company’s Old Dominion Systems Division. As the work for the Old Dominion Systems division is being phased out, the revenue is estimated to be approximately $50,000 for Q4 2002. As of August 31, 2002 operations in this segment were winding down and is expected to cease in early September. Further results by division are explained in more detail below.
 
Cost of Sales and Expenses
 
Total cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2002 was $653,000 or 44% of total sales, compared to $1.2 million or 71% for the three months ended July 31, 2001. For the nine months ended July 31, 2002 and July 31, 2001, total cost of sales was $2.0 million (43% of total sales) and $3.9 million (66% of total sales) respectively. The favorable decrease was due to a reduction in direct labor and other payroll-related costs associated with the company’s restructuring efforts.
 
Total period expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2002 were $750,000 versus $1.3 million for the same three-month period ended July 31, 2001. Period expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2002, were $2.3 million compared to $4.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2001. The significant decrease is due primarily to the company’s reduction in labor costs, as well as lower administrative costs and discretionary spending. Additionally, in Q2 2001, the company recorded a $400,000 bad debt expense for a significant account receivable, which was subsequently written off.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2002 was $281,000 versus $15,000 for the same period ended July 31, 2001. This significant increase relates to the Company’s increased borrowings during the first quarter of FY 2002. Additionally, the notes payable contain equity conversion features, which include the issuance of detachable warrants. As such, the company has discounted the face value of the note by the value of the warrants. The amortization of the discount and accretion of the beneficial conversion feature are charged to interest expense.
 
Other Income/Expenses
 
For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2002, the company had only minimal amounts of other income and expenses.
 
Benefit (Provision for Income Taxes)
 
For the nine months ended July 31, 2002 there was no benefit or provision recorded for income taxes. The company has exhausted its ability to carry back losses for income tax refunds. As of July 31, 2002, the company has net operating losses and carry forwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $22 million, which will be available to offset taxes resulting from future taxable income through 2022. If substantial changes in the company’s ownership should occur, use of some or all of the carry forwards could be limited.
 
Results by division
 
Contact Center Solutions Division
 
  Sales
 
Contact Center Solution (CCS) sales for the three months ended July 31, 2002 were $1.4 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period ended July 31, 2001.

  Backlog of future scheduled revenue
 
As of September 10, 2002, the Contact Center Solutions division had a backlog of new system sales totaling $306,000, all of which is currently projected to be completed in the fourth quarter ending October 31, 2002. In addition to new system sales, the division has an ongoing revenue stream of approximately $220,000 per month, which represents monthly scheduled services, and the portion of deferred maintenance revenue to be earned.
 
  Contact Center Solutions Costs and Expenses
 
Cost of sales for the Contact Center Solutions division for the three months ended July 31, 2002 was $573,000 or 42% of CCS revenue compared to $835,000 or 70% of CCS revenue for the same three-month period ended July 31, 2001. These costs are reported as two distinct lines of business; cost of services and product costs. The cost of services for the three months ended July 31, 2002, was 48% of service revenue compared to 65% for the three months ended July 31, 2001. The reduction in service costs is attributable to the Company’s restructuring efforts, which resulted in a significant reduction in direct labor costs. For the nine months ended July 31, 2002, service costs were $1.2 million or 41% of service revenue, compared to $2.1 million or 71% of service revenue for the same nine months ended July 31, 2001. As indicated above, the decrease in costs was due to significant reductions in headcount and payroll related costs.
 
Product costs for the three months ended July 31, 2002 were $175,000 or 33% of product revenue compared to $187,000 or 96% for the quarter ended July 31, 2001. Product costs for the quarter ended July 31, 2001 included a high content of hardware shipments, which were sold at low margins. Additionally, in Q3 of 2001, the company recorded a one-time charge of $50,000 to its inventory reserve, which was included in the product costs for the period. Comparatively, for the quarter ended July 31, 2002, the company completed a substantial project whereby a significant cost component was software, for which the costs are typically lower. For the nine months ended July 31, 2002, product costs were $503,000 or 40% of product revenue compared to $551,000 or 52% of product revenue for nine months ended July 31, 2001.
 
For the three months ended July 31, 2002, selling, general & administrative expenses were $532,000 or 39% of CCS revenue compared to $853,000 or 71% for the same three month period ended July 31, 2001. Selling, general & administrative expenses were $1.7 million or 42% of CCS sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2002, compared to $3.1 million, or 76% for the nine months ended July 31, 2001. For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2001, the company recorded a bad debt expense of $400,000 as a significant account receivable was deemed uncollectible and subsequently written off. Of the $1.4 million decrease for the comparative nine-month periods, $600,000 was payroll related, $400,000 was due to a reduction in overall discretionary spending (e.g., advertising & marketing expense, travel and insurance) and $400,000 was related to the bad debt expense discussed above.
 
Research and development expenses for the CCS division reflect costs associated with the development of applicable software and product enhancements for the products of the division. The company believes that the process of establishing technological feasibility with its new products is completed approximately upon release of the products to its customers. Accordingly, the company does not capitalize research and development costs. For the three months ended July 31, 2002, research and development expenses were $218,000 or 16% of total CCS revenue versus $370,000 or 31% for the same three-month period ended July 31, 2001. The favorable decrease was a result of reduced headcount and the associated decrease in payroll costs. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2002 were $591,000 or 15% of CCS sales compared to $1.1 million or 28% for the same period ended July 31, 2001. Reduced payroll related expenses accounted for $400,000 or 79% of the decrease.
 
Research and development continues its focus on the broader uniQue family, with incremental investments in the uniQue IVR product and other new product research.

Old Dominion Systems Division
 
Sales
 
Sales from the Old Dominion Systems (ODS) division for the three months ended July 31, 2002 were $139,000, a 67% decrease compared to $417,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2001, coming from this division’s sole customer, the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University. Sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2002 were $473,000 versus $1.8 million for the same period ended July 31, 2001. As indicated above, the company lost a significant portion of its revenue stream from this division and expects this revenue to be discontinued in early September 2002.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2002 was $80,000 or 58% of ODSM sales compared to $304,000 or 73% for the three months ended July 31, 2001. For the nine months ended July 31, 2002, cost of sales was $304,000 or 64% compared to $1.2 million or 66% of sales for the comparable nine months ended July 31, 2001. The decrease in dollar amount was due to lower direct labor and other payroll related costs related to the reduction in overall ODS operations.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of July 31, 2002, the company has a working capital deficit of $175,000, compared to a deficit of $352,000 as of April 30, 2002 and $1.0 million as of October 31, 2001. The increase in working capital has been the culmination of an increase in cash proceeds associated with long-term borrowings, paying down accounts payable and an overall reduction in new expenses contributing to profitable operations. The Company has not been able to build a consistent backlog necessary to sustain ongoing increases in revenue, which ultimately result in increased cash flow. Where the company does have a predictable revenue stream, it has continued to reduce its cost structure to be more in line with this predictable revenue.
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $244,000 as of July 31, 2002 compared to $319,000 as of April 30, 2002 and $170,000 as of October 31, 2001. During the third quarter, the company continued to enhance its collection efforts, as well as reduce its overall spending.
 
As of July 31, 2002, accounts receivable were $808,000 compared to $486,000 as of April 30, 2002 and $291,000 as of October 31. 2001. Most of the billings for the third quarter ending July 31, 2002 occurred in the month of July which resulted in the significant quarter to quarter increase. As of September 10, 2002, approximately $700,000 of the July 31, 2002 receivables have been collected. Other current assets consist of prepaid expenses and total $80,000 as of July 31, 2002 compared to $56,000 as of April 30, 2002 and $107,000 as of October 31, 2001. The increase in the third quarter represents an annual prepaid maintenance contract, which is being amortized over a twelve-month period.
 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses, which includes accrued compensation, as of July 31, 2002 were $988,000 compared to $902,000 as of April 30, 2002 and $1.4 million as of October 31, 2001. The increase represents late July 2002 purchases associated with the July sales. As of September 6, 2002, these additional payables have been paid in full. The Company continues to reduce its discretionary spending and reduce its cost of sales by negotiating more favorable terms with its suppliers.
 
At the present time, the company does not have a bank credit facility. On September 25, 2001, the company entered into agreements for the issuance of $750,000 of 12% subordinate convertible promissory notes with warrants to purchase up to one hundred (100) shares of Series A preferred stock in exchange for up to $750,000 of financing from TFX Equities Incorporation. In October 2001, the company borrowed a total of $450,000, using the proceeds to payoff an existing outstanding debt of $390,000. In November and December 2001, the company borrowed the additional $300,000 available to pay its employees and vendors. In January 2002, the company accepted a term sheet from TFX Equities for an additional $500,000 debenture. The additional funding is subject to execution of the definitive documents. Where the company had previously anticipated finalizing these documents in April 2002, management has made the decision to delay this event pending further evaluation of the need to facilitate cash flow for operations through FY2002. As of September 10, 2002, the company has approximately $460,000 in cash.
