NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY
IPIX Corporation ("IPIX" or "Company"), formally Internet Pictures Corporation,
provides mission-critical imaging solutions for commerce, communication and
security applications. The Company's solutions create, process and manage a rich
variety of media including still images, 360-degree by 360-degree immersive
images and video. During 2004, the Company focused on realigning its core
competencies with its strategic business goals. The InfoMedia business unit,
formerly responsible for the development, marketing and sales of immersive
photography products, was integrated with the security business unit. The still
photography product teams now work closely with the video product teams
leveraging mature development processes and expertise; and the sales and
marketing of each product line is conducted as a coordinated effort. In markets
where customers benefit from combined products (video and stills) in a single
offering, this new structure allows IPIX to do so seamlessly. In addition, in
February 2005 we sold the AdMission business unit, which developed and sold
products to the online advertising market. In accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
("FAS") No.144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets"("FAS 144"), the assets and liabilities related to the AdMission business
unit were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2004, and the operations
of this business unit were considered discontinued operations (see Note 3).
Our extensive intellectual property covers patents for Full-360 degree imaging,
video and surveillance applications.
The accompanying unaudited, condensed and consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of IPIX Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Interactive Pictures Corporation and PW Technology, Inc. The consolidation of
these entities will collectively be referred to as the Company or IPIX. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited, condensed and consolidated financial statements of
IPIX Corporation, a Delaware corporation, have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S.
GAAP") for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, these unaudited,
condensed and consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a
normal, recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of results of operations expected for the full fiscal year ending
December 31, 2005. Please refer to the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form
10-K, as amended on Form 10-K/A, for the complete consolidated financial
statements for the period ended December 31, 2004.
2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
The accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements have been
presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which assume the continuity of the
Company as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and in
the prior fiscal years, the Company experienced, and continues to experience,
certain issues related to cash flow and profitability. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company believes that it can generate sufficient cash flow to fund its
operations through the launch and sale of new products in 2005. In addition,
management will monitor the Company's cash position carefully and evaluate its
future operating cash requirements with respect to its strategy, business
objectives and performance. Management will focus on operating costs in relation
to revenue generated and its strategic initiatives for growing the immersive
imaging solutions business. In line with this focus the Company completed the
sale of the AdMission business unit to AdMission Corporation in the first
quarter of 2005 (See Note 3).
In addition, the Company's operating results in 2005 will be dependent upon the
its ability to provide quality products and services and is subject to the risk
of an unfavorable lower demand for its products and services. Management
believes, however, that the Company has sufficient cash reserves to meet its
funding needs for 2005. The Company finished the first quarter of 2005 with
approximately $10,971 thousand in cash reserves (cash and cash equivalents of
$8,896 thousand, short-term restricted investments of $550 thousand, short-term
restricted cash of $630 thousand and short-term investments of $895 thousand).
6
Management expects to continue to make significant investments in the sale and
marketing of new products, which may consume available cash reserves. Depending
upon the Company's ability to sell its new products, the timeliness of
collection of accounts receivable and other potential working capital needs, as
well as the timing and rate of revenue growth and management's ability to
control costs, the Company may require additional equity or debt financing to
meet future working capital or capital expenditure needs. There can be no
assurance that such additional financing will be available or if available, that
such financing can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. If the
Company is not able to raise additional funds, it may be required to
significantly curtail its operations which would have an adverse effect on its
financial position, results of operations and cash flow. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On February 11, 2005, the Company and AdMission Corporation, a privately held
Delaware corporation ("AdMission") closed the transactions under the asset
purchase agreement dated January 11, 2005 between the parties (the "Asset
Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement,
IPIX sold to AdMission certain of its assets (including certain patent rights
and other intellectual property) and contracts relating to its IPIX AdMission
business unit (the "AdMission Business"). In consideration for the sale, IPIX
received 1,035,000 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of
AdMission and a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Common Stock of
AdMission. Additionally, AdMission assumed certain liabilities associated with
the AdMission business unit. In accordance with FAS 144, the assets and
liabilities related to the AdMission business were classified as held for sale
at December 31, 2004, and the operations of this business unit were considered
discontinued operations for each quarter and for each full year presented. The
preferred stock and warrant were recorded as an asset investment in AdMission
and subsequently written-down to zero. This write-down was based on Management's
assessment of market value of the investment related to the carrying value of
the asset which was based upon AdMission's first quarter loss until the sale
date and the marketability of the private company's stock. The sale of assets
and liabilities to AdMission consists of fixed assets of $253 thousand, prepaid
items of $62 thousand and deferred revenue of $62 thousand. The operating
results of AdMission for 2005 were also reclassified to discontinued operations.
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company incurred non-cash compensation
expenses of $794 thousand associated with the acceleration of stock options
related to the sale of the AdMission business unit.
In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, IPIX and AdMission entered into
a Patent Purchase, License and Repurchase Agreement dated as of February 11,
2005 which provides for the transfer to AdMission of certain patents relating to
the AdMission Business, the license of those patents back to IPIX for use by
IPIX in the conduct of its security sector business and certain other limited
uses, and repurchase right by IPIX in the event of certain triggering events by
AdMission. The patent agreement remains in effect until all of the patents
transferred by the agreement expire.
IPIX and AdMission also entered into an IPIX Trademark/Service Mark License
Agreement which provides AdMission with an eighteen (18) month royalty-free,
nonexclusive license to use certain IPIX marks and certain other trademarks and
business brands in connection with the conduct of the AdMission Business.
Other than the obligation to provide AdMission with a license of certain IPIX
marks and certain other trademarks and business brands pursuant to the IPIX
Trademark/Service Mark License Agreement, the Company has no continuing
obligations to AdMission.
Revenues, operating expenses and loss from discontinued operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

4. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with a remaining maturity at date
of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
At March 31, 2005, we had a $1,445 thousand short term investment which matures
on June 19, 2005, $550 thousand of which has been provided as collateral for
certain capital lease obligations and, accordingly, classified as restricted
short term investments. We will renew the investment for successive short term
periods until the capital lease obligation restrictions are removed. At March
31, 2005, we also had $630 thousand of cash deposits restricted as collateral on
a letter of credit for certain co-location facility leases expiring in 2006 and,
accordingly, classified as short term restricted cash.
5. EQUITY
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we issued 700,096 shares of common
stock upon exercise of employee stock options. Our total proceeds from the first
quarter exercises of theses options were $1,455 thousand. During the three
months ended March 31, 2004, we issued 442,144 shares of common stock upon
exercise of stock options. Our total proceeds from the first quarter 2004 option
exercises were $641 thousand, $279 thousand of which was collected in the second
quarter of 2004. As of March 31, 2005, we have collected $88 thousand from our
employees' second quarter 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") purchases.
6. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding. Net income (loss) available to common
stockholders is calculated as the net income (loss) less cumulative preferred
stock dividends for the period. If dilutive, the participation right of the
preferred stock is reflected in the calculation of basic income (loss) per share
using the "if converted" method or the "two class method," if more dilutive.
Warrant and stock options could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the
future but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share
because to do so would have been antidilutive for the three months ended March
31, 2005 and 2004. For all periods presented herein, the Company's diluted loss
per share is equal to its basic loss per share because the effects of exercise
were anti-dilutive given the losses the Company incurred during such periods.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and dilutive loss per
common share for the periods indicated:

7. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, payments of $15 thousand were made
against our lease restructuring accrual which was established by various
restructuring actions from 2000 to 2004. At March 31, 2005 the remaining balance
in the lease restructuring accrual was $242 thousand.
In subsequent quarters of 2005, we anticipate incurring additional costs of
approximately $1,700 thousand in connection with the closing of our San Ramon
office. These costs include approximately $1,200 thousand in lease termination
costs and $500 thousand in asset disposal cost.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION -- FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
In December 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," an amendment to FAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." FAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
provisions to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net
income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based
compensation. Stock options are accounted for using the intrinsic method in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," as interpreted, whereby if options are priced at fair market
value or above at the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The
pro forma information is as follows:

Grants under the ESPP have a look-back feature and a 15% discount and
accordingly under FAS 123 would have had compensation expense calculated as a
result. The fair value disclosure associated with the ESPP grants is included in
the fair value pro-forma information above.
We calculated the fair value of each award on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes pricing model. The following assumptions were used for each
respective period:

Operating leases.................................................... $ 3,883 $ 1,104 $ 2,038 $ 657 $ 83
At March 31, 2005, we had $630 thousand of cash deposits restricted as
collateral on a letter of credit for certain co-location facility leases
expiring in 2006 and, accordingly, classified as short term restricted cash.
On February 3, 2005, we entered into a lease agreement with Oak Ridge Technical
Center Partners - One, L.P. ("Landlord"). The Lease is for a period of five
years beginning May 1, 2005. The base rent is approximately $313 thousand per
year and will increase by approximately $5 thousand each year beginning in April
2006. In addition to the base rent, we are required to pay certain taxes and a
pro rata share of operating expenses. We are also responsible for the costs of
certain tenant improvements associated with the new facility, but will be
entitled to reimbursement for certain costs from the Landlord. The Lease also
provides for three 36 month renewal options at 95% of the then prevailing fair
market rents.
On April 18, 2005, we entered into a sublease agreement with Thomas Group, Inc.
with respect to our new corporate headquarters in Reston, Virginia. The sublease
is for a period of 31 months beginning April 15, 2005. The base rent is
approximately $298 thousand per year and will increase by approximately three
10
(3%) percent each year beginning April 1, 2006. In addition to the base rent, we
are responsible for any increases in operating expenses and property taxes
billed to the landlord and paid by Thomas Group. We are also responsible for the
costs of tenant improvements. All terms and conditions of the master lease
between Thomas Group and REC Partners, L.P. dated February 15, 2000 are
incorporated into and made part of the sublease.
Contingencies
On June 15, 2003, we filed an action against Mr. Ford Oxaal and his company,
Minds-Eye-View, (together, "Oxaal") in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Tennessee. In the complaint, we asserted claims for patent
infringement, false designation of origin, false description or representation,
unfair or deceptive acts and tortious interference in connection with Oxaal's
competing software product marketed under the name "Click Away." On August 8,
2003, Oxaal filed its answer asserting counterclaims for non-infringement,
invalidity, unenforceability, breach of contract, patent misuse, Lanham Act
violations and tortious interference. We denied all of Oxaal's allegations. The
case was stayed pending settlement negotiations, which have since terminated. In
response, on March 15, 2005, we filed a motion to vacate the stay so that our
lawsuit can proceed in due course.
On March 4, 2005, Grandeye Ltd. filed a complaint in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against us alleging that Grandeye is
not infringing our patents, that our patents are invalid and are not owned by us
and that we engaged in false advertising, unfair competition, tortious
interference and antitrust violations. The Company denied these allegations and
filed counterclaims alleging Grandeye is infringing the Company's patents. On
March 24, 2005, we filed a motion to move the case to the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee.
We intend to vigorously defend each of the above referenced lawsuits. Because of
the inherent uncertainties related to this type of litigation, we are unable to
predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, or the likelihood or amount of our
potential liability, if any, of these cases. However, if we are not successful
in defending or settling these matters, these cases could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.
We are not currently a party to any other legal proceedings the adverse outcome
of which, individually or in the aggregate, we believe could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.
Indemnification Provisions
During the ordinary course of business, in certain limited circumstances, we
include indemnification provisions within certain of our contracts. Pursuant to
these agreements, we will indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the
indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party,
generally parties with which we have commercial relations, in connection with
certain intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with
respect to our products and services. To date, we have not incurred any costs in
connection with such indemnification clauses.
11. EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123 (R), "Share-Based Payment" to
replace FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and APB Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FAS No. 123 (R) requires,
among other things, that all share-based payments to employees, including grants
of stock options, be measured based on their grant-date fair value and
recognized as expense in the financial statements effective for interim or
annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Unless observable market prices
exist, the grant-date fair value is estimated using an appropriate
option-pricing model as determined by management. Management must also make
certain assumptions about employee exercise habits, forfeiture rates and select
an appropriate amortization methodology for recognizing compensation expense.
The Statement requires a modified prospective method of adoption. Companies may
also elect to restate their previously issued financial statements to provide
consistency across all periods presented under a modified retrospective method.
Management believes the adoption of FAS No. 123(R) will have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated results of operations and earnings per share but
has not yet determined the method of adoption that will be applied or whether
adoption will result in expense amounts materially different from those
currently provided under the pro forma disclosures (See Note 8).
In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the adoption of
a new rule that amends the effective date of FAS No. 123(R).The effective date
of the new standard under these new rules for our consolidated financial
statements is January 1, 2006. Adoption of this statement will have a
significant impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per
share as we will be required to expense the fair value of our stock option
grants and stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan rather than
disclose the impact on our consolidated net income within our footnotes, as is
our current practice.

12. SEGMENTS.
In 2004, the Company focused on realigning our core competencies with our
strategic business goals. In 2005, the InfoMedia business unit, formerly
responsible for the development, marketing and sales of immersive photography
products, was integrated with the security business unit. Still photography
product teams now work closely with the video product teams leveraging mature
development processes and expertise; and the sales and marketing of both product
lines is conducted as a coordinated effort. In markets where customers benefit
from combined products (video and stills) in a single offering, this new
structure allows IPIX to do so seamlessly. In addition, in February 2005, we
sold the AdMission business unit, which developed and sold products to the
online advertising market. (See Note 3) As such, the Company's management does
not evaluate the performance of any segment of the business but rather the
business as a whole, therefore, there are no separate segments to report.
13. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit
risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short term investments and accounts
receivable. Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments are deposited with
high quality financial institutions. Our accounts receivable are derived from
revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and abroad. We perform ongoing
credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition and in certain
instances require partial or full payment prior to shipment, however, we do not
require collateral from our customers.
The following table summarizes the revenue from customers in excess of 10% of
total revenues:

31, 2004, Homestore and our UK Distributor represented 21% and 11% of accounts
receivable, respectively.
On October 1, 2004, the license agreement dated January 12, 2001 (the "License
Agreement") between the Company and Homestore Virtual Tours, Inc. ("Homestore")
was terminated. Under the License Agreement, Homestore had the exclusive right
to sell our virtual tour technology to the U.S. residential real estate market
and was required to pay us a royalty for each virtual tour sold. As a result of
the termination, Homestore no longer has the exclusive right to sell our virtual
tour technology to the U.S. residential real estate market, and we may sell
directly, or license another third party to sell, our virtual tour technology
into this market. We mutually released each other from any further obligations
under the License Agreement.
14. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
On September 26, 2001, Image Investor Portfolio, a separate series of Memphis
Angels, LLC ("Image") and certain strategic investors completed the purchase of
1,115,080 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock for total consideration of
$22,302 thousand. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into
approximately 9.2 shares of our common stock and is entitled to vote on matters
submitted to holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. As of March 31,
2005, 290,347 shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding with a
liquidation preference, defined below, of $7,440 thousand, which includes $1,633
thousand in accrued dividends in arrears on the Series B Preferred Stock.
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, in preference to holders of any other
series of Preferred Stock and in preference to the holders of Common Stock
(collectively, "Junior Securities"), accrue dividends at the rate of eight
percent (8%) of the price paid per annum on each outstanding share of Series B
Preferred Stock ("Series B Dividends"). The Series B Dividends are cumulative,
accrue daily and shall be payable, when and if declared by the Board, upon
12
conversion or as an accretion to the liquidation preference, as defined below.
Accrued Series B Dividends may be paid in cash or common stock, at the election
of the Series B Preferred stockholder. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock
participate on an as-if converted basis in any common stock dividends. At any
time that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock hold more than 50% of our
voting stock, a voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company
must be approved by at least five of the seven members of our board of
directors. Upon any liquidation event, before any distribution or payment shall
be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, the holders of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company
legally available for distribution, or the consideration received in such
transaction, an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the price
paid plus all accrued and unpaid Series B Dividends for each share of Series B
Preferred Stock held by them (the "liquidation preference"). If, upon any such
liquidation event, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make payment in
full to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock of the liquidation preference,
then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to
which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and
assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of
operations and our financial condition together with our consolidated
subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K, as amended on Form 10-K/A. Historical results and
percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including
trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.
Overview
Our Business
During the last quarter of 2004, we undertook a fundamental restructuring of the
Company to position ourselves as the leader in immersive imaging technologies
for visual intelligence applications. We develop immersive video and still
photography products for major markets in surveillance, visual documentation and
forensic analysis. This restructuring included the merging of the InfoMedia and
the Security business units and a change in our sales structure which broadened
our emphasis on both direct sales, indirect sales and channel development. The
new structure also enables us to develop product offerings that include both
video and still products for customers in the same market. IPIX has aligned its
product lines with our core competencies in immersive video and still
technology. The restructuring was completed with the sale of the AdMission
business unit in February of 2005. In accordance with FAS 144, the assets and
liabilities related to the AdMission business unit were classified as held for
sale at December 31, 2004, and the operations of this business unit were
considered discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Immersive Video Products: Formerly the Security business unit, provides a full
360-degree immersive video capability for government and commercial security
markets. Patent protected technology is used in digital video systems that
provide complete and continuous situational awareness. These products are
currently being marketed to government agencies and commercial accounts for
security applications, visual documentation and surveillance.
Immersive Still Photography Products: Formerly the InfoMedia business unit,
provides for creation of Full-360 degree panoramic photography and movie
content. Markets for these products are government agencies, professional
photographers, ad and creative media agencies, web developers and creators of
visual documentation.
Products
CommandView: Multi-mega-pixel network cameras, with fisheye lens, patented
Full-360 viewing technology and camera management software to provide a unique
award-winning `see everything' video surveillance and security camera system
that can see in all directions, simultaneously with no moving parts and no blind
spots. Features include low light performance; remote, secure monitoring;
digital pan-tilt-zoom; and weather reliability.
IPIX Interactive Studio: A single integrated solution for panorama photographers
that can automate a wide variety of tasks previously requiring separate tools.
Makes creating multiple Full-360 degree images as simple as a drag-and-drop of
fisheye source images into the application, selecting the output file formats
desired and hitting the save button. Features include image editors, image
format converter tools and high dynamic range image compositors.
13
Target Markets
CommandView: For Commercial facilities such as banks and retail outlets.
Government agencies with responsibility for security infrastructure protection
related to ports, harbors, waterways, dams, conventional and nuclear power
stations, utilities, airports and mass transit rail systems. Also in the
military, perimeter force protection, unmanned vehicles and special operations.
IPIX Interactive Studio: For Visual documentation markets such as facilities
management; private and government infrastructure management and service
departments; and vertical market data-warehouse solutions providers such as
insurance and mapping.
Business Models
Immersive video: Camera systems marketed to end users both directly and through
distributors in the U.S. and via world-wide network of distributors. Camera
systems will retail from $1,000 to $25,000, depending upon configuration.
Immersive still: Software platform and supporting hardware products primarily
marketed over the internet to the real estate, travel, hospitality and visual
documentation industries.
Business Trends and Conditions
On March 31, 2004, the Company launched a new family of Full-360 degree
real-time video camera systems. Shipment of these products to distributors began
in late June 2004. These new camera systems generate revenues from sales to both
end-users and resellers. In April 2005, at the ISC West trade show, the Company
announced its newest product the CommandView(TM) Day/Night Dome camera that
combines Full-360 degree views in low-light, no-light and infrared
lighting-assisted environments. The Company continues to develop additional
products and features for the security and surveillance market. Also at the ISC
West trade show, we announced an OEM agreement with ObjectVideo to market
software for intelligent video surveillance. In April 2005, we announced a
partnership with VistaScape to integrate their SiteIQ(TM) tm surveillance
software with our CommandView(TM) cameras. These products will be available for
shipment in the third quarter of 2005.
Our full-360 degree technology used by the immersive still photography products
primarily generates revenues in two ways: licenses of software and the sale of
camera equipment. In the past, we utilized "keys" to license our technology to
capture and save a single immersive image. With the launch of the IPIX
Interactive Studio, we now offer time-based seat or user licenses which permit
an unlimited number of immersive images to be captured and saved within a
specific time period, usually a year.
In response to our change in sales structure the Company hired 11 additional
sales staff focused on direct and channel sales both in the U.S. and
internationally to market immersive video products. The Company currently has
approximately fifty resellers in the U.S. and five distributors internationally.
In addition, the still sales had 336 new accounts in the first quarter of 2005.
Our immersive still photography products business unit will now market and sell
our virtual tour photography solution, the IPIX Interactive Studio, directly to
the U.S. real estate market and will expand its hometour360 program to support a
wider range of imaging technologies. As a result, we believe that real estate
agents and photographers will benefit from a broader choice of panoramic imaging
solutions and enhanced marketing capabilities. We also provide professional
services to customers that request specific customizations or integrations of
our products and services.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue
recognition, uncollectible receivables, inventory reserves, intangible and other
long-lived assets and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements: revenue recognition; valuation allowances, specifically
14
the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves; valuation of
goodwill and other long-lived assets; and significant accruals. We believe that
full consideration has been given to all relevant circumstances that we may be
subject to, and our financial statements accurately reflect management's best
estimate of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the
periods presented.
Management has discussed the development and selection of the following critical
accounting policies, estimates and assumptions with the Audit Committee of our
Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed these disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition"
and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 ("SAB 104"), "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements." We derive revenue from product sales and services we
provide to customers. Product revenue includes Immersive still and video
hardware and licenses (formerly InfoMedia and Security). Service revenues are
primarily from transactions where a seller uses our image management products to
enhance their on-line offering.
Product revenue is recognized upon shipment or delivery provided there are no
uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, there are no significant vendor obligations, the fees are
fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Initial license fees
are recognized when a contract exists, the fee is fixed or determinable,
software delivery has occurred and collection of the receivable is reasonably
assured. If there are continuing obligations, then license fees are recognized
ratably over the life of the contract. Revenue from product sales to
distributors is recognized upon shipment ("sell-in") if the distributor
relationship does not create substantial uncertainty regarding fixed or
determinable fees and collectibility. If at the beginning of an arrangement we
determine the arrangement fee is not, or is presumed to not be, fixed or
determinable, or there is uncertainty over collectibility, revenue is deferred
and subsequently recognized as amounts become due or collected.
Transaction hosting revenue is recognized ratably as transactions are performed
provided there was persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee was fixed or
determinable and collection of the resulting receivable was reasonably assured.
Revenue generated from professional services is recognized as the related
services are performed. When such professional services are combined with
on-going transaction services or are deemed to be essential to the functionality
of the delivered software product, revenue from the entire arrangement is
recognized while the transaction services are performed, on a percentage of
completion method or not until the contract is completed in accordance with SOP
81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain
Production-Type Contracts," and ARB No. 45, "Long-Term Construction-Type
Contracts." Reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred are
characterized as revenue in the statement of operations.
Where multiple elements exist in an arrangement, the arrangement fee is
allocated to the different elements based upon verifiable objective evidence of
the fair value of the elements, as governed under EITF 00-21, which is codified
in SAB 104. Multiple element arrangements primarily involve an arrangement with
professional services and transaction hosting. Revenue is recognized as each
element is earned, namely upon completion of the services, provided that the
fair value of the undelivered element(s) has been determined, the delivered
element has stand-alone value, there is no right of return on delivered
element(s), and we are in control of delivery of the undelivered element(s).
Payments received in advance are initially recorded as deferred revenue and
recognized ratably as obligations are fulfilled.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in
connection with establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts in any
accounting period. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and
historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness,
current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Material
differences could result in the amount and timing of expense recorded if
management had different judgment or utilized different estimates as the latter
related to different reporting periods.
Reserve for Inventory Obsolescence
Significant management estimates must be made and used in conjunction with
establishing the inventory obsolescence reserve in any accounting period. This
may occur as a result of technological advances, out of production
sub-assemblies, radical changes in market demand or change of suppliers.
Management periodically reviews the inventory aging, turnover, sales forecast as
well as input from vendors in determining the appropriate amount of the reserve.
Significant Accruals, including Restructuring Charges and Sales Tax
15
We recorded restructuring charges associated with vacated facilities. The key
assumptions associated with these charges include the timing and amount of
sub-lease income. In addition, in establishing and providing for sales tax
accruals, we make judgments based on the actual tax laws and guidance. While
management believes that its judgments and interpretations regarding tax
liabilities are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience may
materially affect our future financial results.
RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS
During the years ended December 31, 2000 thru December 31, 2004, the Company
executed several restructuring actions and recorded related lease charges during
each of those fiscal years. At December 31, 2004, the remaining balance in the
lease restructuring accrual was $257 thousand. During the three months ended
March 31, 2005, $15 thousand of payments were made against the Company's lease
restructuring accrual. At March 31, 2005, the remaining balance in the lease
restructuring accrual was $242 thousand. No additions were made to the accrual
during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Company anticipates incurring
additional costs of approximately $1,700 thousand in connection with the closing
of its San Ramon, California office. The costs include approximately $1,200
thousand in lease termination costs and $500 thousand in asset disposal costs.

=================== ========== ========
* As adjusted for discontinued operations
REVENUE. The Company derives its revenue from product sales of its full-360
degree technology sold as licenses of software and hardware sales of camera
equipment. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $668
thousand, an increase of $192 thousand, or 40% compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to a $104 thousand
increase in hardware sales of the Company's Immersive Video product line. The
Company launched a new family of Full-360 degree security cameras at the end of
the first quarter in 2004 with field beta trials. The first finished products
were shipped at the end of the second quarter of 2004. License and other revenue
increased $88 thousand, or 33%, to $351 thousand for the three months ended
March 31, 2005. This increase is primarily attributed to increased sales of a
16
new still technology software platform launched in the first quarter of 2004.
The revenue from immersive video products may grow faster in future quarters
than from its immersive still products due to opportunities in the market place
and advances in digital technology.
COST OF REVENUE. The Company's cost of revenue consists of cost of components
and cost of assembly for video and immersive cameras, internally developed
software, licensed software, fulfillment and shipping costs, customer and
technical support, internet hosting fees, professional service fees and direct
labor. Hardware cost of revenue increased 17% compared to a 49% increase in
hardware revenue resulting in a hardware gross margin for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 of 46% compared to 32% for the same period in 2004. The Company
historically experienced and expects to experience margin fluctuations in the
future based on the mix of units of high-margin versus low-margin products. Cost
of license and other revenue increased 29% which is relatively consistent with
the 33% increase in license and other revenue. Gross margins for license and
other revenue for the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were 44% and 42%,
respectively.
SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses increased $868 thousand, or
102%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 2004, primarily due to the expenditures focused on our immersive video
product line. The increase included employee salary, benefits and recruitment
expenses related to the increase in our sales force of $212 thousand; recruiting
and relocating of new sales personnel of $165 thousand; increase in public
relations, marketing and trade show activities of $203 thousand; web site
development of $70 thousand; and an increase in travel and associated expenses
of $95 thousand. The Company anticipates continued hiring of sales personnel,
increased marketing, public relations and participation in trade show events in
future quarters.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses consist primarily of
personnel costs and facility expenses related to building and enhancing our
digital media infrastructure and immersive imaging technology. Research and
development expenses increased $220 thousand, or 49%, during the quarter ended
March 31, 2005 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2004, primarily due to an
increase in head count of engineering personnel. In addition, the Company spent
$72 thousand for consultants and an external engineering firm mainly for the
development of the Company's new product line of Day/Night Dome camera lens. The
Company expects to increase spending in areas of research and development by
increasing head count and/or contractors in the effort to procure research
grants from government agencies.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related benefits for administrative and executive
staff, fees for outside professional services, insurance and other costs
associated with being a public company. General and administrative expenses
increased $1,601 thousand during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to
the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as a result of: salaries, benefits, bonuses and
severance paid to employees of $455 thousand, which was incurred due to the
relocation of our corporate headquarters, for which there was no such expense in
2004; an increase in expenses of $407 thousand incurred in association with
compliance with public company regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley compliance;
an increase in professional fees to lawyers and public accounting firm of $413
thousand due to additional audit requirements for the Company's discontinued
operations and additional legal counsel initiated by the Company's executive
management for contract review, patent litigation and executive agreements; an
increase in employee related expenses due to an increase in headcount of $210
thousand, and an increase in our director and officer's insurance premiums due
to increased coverage of $167 thousand. The Company has hired additional
administrative and executive staff in the second quarter of 2005 due to the
relocation of the Company's headquarters to Reston, Virginia. The Company will
concentrate on strengthening documentation and testing of controls internal
controls which may incur additional expenses in future quarters but the Company
does not anticipate incurring costs equal to those incurred in the fourth
quarter of 2004 and first quarter of 2005.
LOSS ON SALE OF ASSETS. Loss on sale of assets for the three months ended March
31, 2005 was $253 thousand. This amount was due to a write down to zero net book
value of the investment which was acquired as a result of the sale of the
AdMission business unit in the first quarter of 2005 (see Note 3).
OTHER INCOME. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $105
thousand compared to $4 thousand for the same period in 2004. This increase is
primarily due to the sale of one of our discontinued web domain names during the
three months ended March 31, 2005 for which there is no such amount in 2004.
LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. Loss from discontinued operations of $1,360
thousand and $1,407 thousand, respectively, for the three months ended March 31,
2005 and 2004 was due to the discontinued operations of the Company's AdMission
business unit which was discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2004 and sold in
the first quarter of 2005. The prior period results were reclassified to
properly classify the business unit as discontinued operations.
NET LOSS. As a result of the factors described above, the net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 was $5,881 thousand, an increase of $2,671 thousand
or 83%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.
17
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, we have financed our operations through our registered public
offerings, the private placements of capital stock, a convertible debenture, a
convertible promissory note and warrant and option exercises. At March 31, 2005,
we had $10,971 thousand of cash, restricted cash and short term investments, of
which $1,180 thousand was restricted.

net loss of $5,881 thousand, compared to net loss of $3,210 thousand in the
first quarter of 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company incurred
non-cash compensation expenses of $794 thousand associated with the acceleration
of stock options related to the sale of the Admissions business unit.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 was
primarily related to the acquisition of computer software and hardware to
support the increase in staffing and to complete the build-out of a new computer
and communication center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2005 was
primarily related to $1,543 thousand of proceeds from the exercise of stock
options, net of $220 thousand of payments made on capital lease obligations. Net
cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2004 was primarily
related to $362 thousand of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, net of
$218 thousand of payments made on capital lease obligations.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and in prior fiscal periods, we have
experienced certain going concern issues related to cash flow and profitability.
In addition, the Company's operating results in 2005 will be dependent upon the
its ability to provide quality products and services and is subject to the risk
of an unfavorable change in demand for its products and services. Management
believes, however, that we have sufficient cash resources to meet our funding
needs through at least the next twelve months. We finished the first quarter of
2005 with approximately $10,971 thousand in cash reserves (cash and cash
equivalents of $8,896 thousand, short-term restricted investments of $550
thousand, short-term restricted cash of $630 thousand and short-term investments
of $895 thousand). Management expects to continue to make significant
investments in the development, sale and marketing of new products, which may
consume much of our cash reserves. Management's focus is to manage our cash
requirements and focus our operations on revenue generation and controlled
spending. Management may need to raise debt or equity financing to fund these
operations.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The table below shows our total contractual obligations as of March 31, 2005,
updated for the lease entered into on April 18, 2005:
(In thousands) Payments Due by Period

At March 31, 2005, we had $630 thousand of cash deposits restricted as
collateral on a letter of credit for certain co-location facility leases
expiring in February of 2006 and, accordingly, classified as short term
restricted cash.
On February 3, 2005, we entered into a lease agreement with Oak Ridge Technical
Center Partners - One, L.P. ("Landlord"). The Lease is for a period of five
years beginning May 1, 2005. The base rent is approximately $313 thousand per
year and will increase by approximately $5 thousand each year beginning in April
2006. In addition to the base rent, we are required to pay certain taxes and a
pro rata share of operating expenses. We are also responsible for the costs of
certain tenant improvements associated with the new facility, but will be
entitled to reimbursement for certain costs from the Landlord. The Lease also
provides for three 36 month renewal options at 95% of the then prevailing fair
market rents.
On April 18, 2005, we entered into a sublease agreement with Thomas Group, Inc.
with respect to our new corporate headquarters in Reston, Virginia. The sublease
is for a period of 31 months beginning April 15, 2005. The base rent is
approximately $298 thousand per year and will increase by approximately three
(3%) percent each year beginning April 1, 2006. In addition to the base rent, we
are responsible for any increases in operating expenses and property taxes
billed to the landlord and paid by Thomas Group. We are also responsible for the
costs of tenant improvement. All terms and conditions of the master lease
between Thomas Group and REC Partners, L.P. dated February 15, 2000 are
incorporated into and made part of the sublease.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of March 31, 2005, we had $10,971 thousand of cash, cash equivalents, short
term and long term restricted cash and short term investments. Our interest
income is sensitive to changes in the general level of United States interest
rates, particularly since the majority of our investments are in short term
instruments. Due to the nature of our short term investments, we concluded that
we do not have material market risk exposure.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with
the participation of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule
13a-14(c)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form
10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective due to material weaknesses in the Company's internal control
over financial reporting which were set forth in Management's Annual Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Material
weaknesses were identified in the following areas:
1. Period-end close process
2. Purchases and accounts payable
3. Inventory
4. Revenue and receivables
5. Information technology
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Management's
Remediation Initiatives. The discussion below describes the material planned and
actual changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting during
the fourth quarter of 2004 and subsequent to December 31, 2004 that materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting. As described in Management's Annual Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting, the Company identified material
weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting and, as
described below, the Company has made, and plans to make, changes to its
internal control over financial reporting.
In response to the matters discussed in Management's Annual Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting, the Company plans to continue to review and
make necessary changes to the overall design of its control environment,
including the roles and responsibilities of each functional group within the
organization and reporting structure, as well as policies and procedures to
improve the overall internal control over financial reporting. In particular,
the Company has implemented, and plans to implement during 2005, the specific
measures described below to remediate the material weaknesses described in
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The
Company plans to continue to review and make changes to its internal control
environment as it deems appropriate or necessary to remediate the material
weaknesses described herein.
19
Period-End Close Process.- To address these material weaknesses, the
Company appointed a new chief financial officer, a vice-president of human
resources, a controller and an assistant controller in April, 2005. In addition,
the Company added additional accounting staff at the corporate level. The
Company plans to schedule training for accounting staff to heighten awareness of
generally accepted accounting principles and to adopt more rigorous policies and
procedures regarding the review and approval process for complex calculations
and unusual transactions.
The Company plans to implement a periodic report checklist, which will require
the signature of the Controller. The Company will assign to the assistant
controller responsibility for referencing the financial statements to supporting
documentation and verifying the mathematical accuracy of the financial
statements prior to the filing of any periodic report. The Company plans to
adopt documentation and testing of controls to require the appropriate review
and approval of journal entries. Additionally, the chief financial officer and
controller will be required to review all related party transactions and to note
such review on the periodic report checklist.
As part of the reorganization of the Company's business, the Company has
eliminated, in 2005, the positions of business unit general manager. The Company
plans to utilize the operational expertise of chief executive officer, chief
financial officer, and controller to identify expenses and liabilities in order
to ensure that the Company's expenses are appropriately reflected in the
financial statements.
Purchases and Accounts Payable -- With regard to the Company's internal
controls related to wire transfers, the Company plans to document and test these
controls during the second fiscal quarter of 2005. The Company plans to conduct
testing of controls requiring that authorized check signers adequately review
supporting documentation during the check signing process and require evidence
of such process be maintained for future review. Controls to require monthly
review of accruals for accounts payable are planned to be implemented and
tested. Additionally, the Company plans to implement controls requiring that an
approved vendor list be maintained and reviewed periodically by the chief
financial officer or controller. The Company plans to document and test written
policies and procedures related to purchases and accounts payable.
Inventory - Through December 2004, the Company remediated identified
inventory-related control deficiencies by implementing documentation to evidence
controls relating to the approval of inventory purchases, the proper receipt and
accounting of inventory receipts, the reconciliation of accounting records and
inventory counts and the proper costing and valuation of inventory. The Company
plans to test these controls in order to obtain sufficient evidence about their
operating effectiveness. The Company will continue to evaluate these controls
and may in the future implement additional measures based on the results of such
testing.
Receivables and Revenue - The Company remediated identified receivables and
revenue related control deficiencies by implementing documentation of controls
relating to the matters described in Management's Annual Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting - Receivables and Revenue. The Company plans to
test these controls in order to obtain sufficient evidence about their operating
effectiveness. The Company will continue to evaluate these controls and may in
the future implement additional measures based on the results of such testing.
Information Technology - To remediate the identified information technology
related control deficiencies, the Company plans to implement a security and
backup recovery plan which will address each of the control deficiencies
described above in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting - Information Technology. The Company will continue to evaluate these
controls and may in the future implement additional measures based on results of
such testing.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
