NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Conolog Corporation (the “Company”) is in the business of design, manufacturing and distribution of small electronic and electromagnetic components and subassemblies for use in telephone, radio and microwave transmissions and reception, and other communication areas. The Company’s products are used for transceiving various quantities, data and protective relaying functions in industrial, utility and other markets. The Company’s customers include primarily industrial customers, which include power companies located primarily throughout the United States, and various branches of the military.

The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Nologoc Corporation. In September 1998, Nologoc Corporation purchased the assets of Atlas Design, Incorporated. In January, 2001, Nologoc Corporation purchased the assets of Prime Time Staffing, Incorporated and Professional Temp Solutions Incorporated. Atlas Design, Prime Time Staffing and Professional Temp Solutions provided short-term and long-term qualified engineering and technical staff, as well as human resource consulting to various industries. In March 2004, the Company ceased operating its staffing business. The assets of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Nologoc, Inc. trading as Atlas Design, were sold to the Company’s vice-president of operations of Atlas Design.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The other information in these condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited but in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These condensed consolidated financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and additional information as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2011.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has had recurring losses from operations of $1,608,903 and $2,502,084 for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and the year ended July 31, 2011, respectively, and used cash from operations in the amounts of $576,747 for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and $1,055,549 for the year ended July 31, 2011, respectively. At April 30, 2012, the Company had negative working capital of $1,378,417 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,303,479. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

The Company plans to raise additional capital through debt and equity placements and increase revenue through new product development. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient cash flow from its operations or raise proceeds from offering debt or equity securities, the Company may be forced to curtail or cease its activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Conolog Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Equivalents

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents balances at financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, balances in certain bank accounts may exceed the FDIC insured limits. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At April 30, 2012, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade Receivables are non-interest bearing, uncollateralized customer obligations and are stated at the amounts billed to customers. The preparation of financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the collectivity of our accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts at April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, were $1,000 and $1,000, respectively.

The Company has a concentration risk in trade accounts receivable with significant sales to the government and local agencies. Three customers accounted for approximately 78%, 10% and 5% of accounts receivable as of April 30, 2012. Two customers accounted for approximately 93% and 4% of accounts receivable as of July 31, 2011. The credit evaluation process has mitigated the credit risk, such losses have been minimal, and within management expectations.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Finished goods costs included raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Excess and obsolete inventory costs are expensed and a reserve for slow-moving inventory is made on management’s estimates.

Finished goods are products that have been completed in connection with specific orders and are awaiting shipment. Work-in-Process represents raw material components that have been requisitioned from the warehouse and are being assembled in the manufacturing area. Raw Materials consist of components parts purchased from various suppliers and are used to build our finished products. Various raw material parts are also maintained to support warranty claims for commercial and military products. Typical raw material products include PC boards, digital screen assemblies, guide rails, capacitors, terminals, power supplies, process chips, resistors, keypads, relays and face plates.

The Company provides a twelve-year warranty on all commercial products and is required by government regulation to design and produce military products with a minimum 25-year operating life in addition to shelf life.

The Company maintains a significant amount of raw material component parts and some of this raw material inventory is not expected to be realized within a twelve month operating cycle from the balance sheet date. For any raw material part which has not been purchased within the last twelve months from the balance sheet date, it is evaluated as part of the slow moving inventory and is part of our inventory reserve review. The Company estimated a usage rate for its raw material component parts for what it expects to use over a 36 month period. Any excess inventory based on this projected usage rate is written off as excess and obsolete. The Company then reserves 100% of the estimated usage that is over 12 months and less than 36 months. Certain raw material parts which have been written down to a zero value, may still be maintained in inventory to satisfy possible requirements under the warranty programs but are valued at zero. The Company evaluates the inventory parts based on their age and usage over a 36 month period to determine inventory obsolescence and reserve adjustments.

The Company reviews finished goods and raw material inventory on hand and provides a reserve for obsolete product based on the results of the review.

As of April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, inventory reserves amounted to $49,000 and $49,000, respectively. For the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, no inventory was written off as obsolete and for the year ended July 31, 2011, $50,000 was written off and charged to cost of sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less allowances for depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range between three (3) and thirty-nine (39) years. Depreciation was $12,420 and $15,500 for the nine months period ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the year of disposal.

Fair Value Measurements

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

 

Level 1 –

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2 –

Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 3 –

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable - officer. All of these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable – officer approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs as it relates to convertible debt issuance cost. These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures. Amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to $0 and $382,132 for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Debt Discount

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for debt discount and valuation of detachable warrants. The Company recognized the value of detachable warrants issued in conjunction with issuance of the secured convertible debenture notes. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the warrant relative fair value as an increase to additional paid-in capital and discount against the related debt. The discount attributed to the value of the warrants is amortized over the term of the underlying debt using the effective interest method.

Advertising / Public Relations Costs

Advertising/Public Relations costs are charged to operations when incurred. These expenses were $97,941 and $23,850 for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable. An impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value, is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recorded in accordance with the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which supersedes SAB No. 101. Revenue from product sales are recognized at the time of shipment (when title and risks and rewards of ownership have passed) upon fulfillment of acceptance terms; products are not sold on a conditional basis. Therefore, when delivery has occurred the sale is complete as long as the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

Research and Development

Research and Development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and Development costs were $60,970 and $63,613 for the nine months period ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $5,321 and $15,375 for the nine months period ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases 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. A valuation allowance is recorded when the expected recognition of a deferred tax asset is considered to be unlikely. The guidance also requires that the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. If a tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition criterion, the guidance requires that the tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit greater than 50 percent not likely of being sustained upon ultimate settlement. Based on the Company’s evaluation, management has concluded that there are significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to the sale of the Company’s New Jersey Net Operating Loss Carryovers. In the event the Company receives an assessment for interest and/or penalties by a major tax jurisdiction it would be classified in the financial statements as general and administrative expense.

Other State Tax Benefits

In 1998, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation allowing emerging technology and/or biotechnology companies to sell their unused New Jersey Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) Carryover and Research and Development Tax Credits (“R&D” Credits) to corporate taxpayers in New Jersey. During the nine months period ended April 30, 2012, the Company entered into agreements to sell its unused NOLs. Recognition of this asset and income have been in accordance with the guidance of SAB Topic 13 and are recorded upon the State of New Jersey’s approval of the technology tax benefit transfer certificate and receipt of a contract to purchase a fixed amount of these NOLs.

Warranty

The Company provides a 12 year warranty on its commercial products and 25 years on its military products; the warranty covers parts and labor. The Company, at its option, repairs or replaces products that are found defective during the warranty period provided that proper preventive maintenance procedures have been followed by customers. Repairs necessitated by misuse of such products are not covered by our warranty. In cases of defective products, the customer typically returns them to the Company’s facility in Somerville, New Jersey. The Company’s service personnel will replace or repair the defective items and ship them back to the customer. All servicing is completed at the Company’s main facility and customers are charged a fee for those service items that are not covered by the warranty. We do not offer our customers any formal written service contracts. Our warranty costs have historically been insignificant and therefore a provision was not warranted. Management continues to monitor the costs and will provide a warranty provision if circumstances change.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for stock-based compensation. This guidance requires that new, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as grants of stock options and stock, be recognized in the financial statements based upon their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over their vesting periods. The Company also follows the guidance for equity instruments issued to consultants.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The preferred dividends are not reflected in arriving at the net loss as they are not material and would have no effect on loss per share available to common shareholders. Diluted loss per shares is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and conversions of debentures. Potentially dilutive securities at April 30, 2012, consist of 898,087 common shares from outstanding warrants and 155,006 common shares from preferred stock. Potentially dilutive securities at April 30, 2011, consisted of 982,837 common shares from outstanding warrants and 155,006 common shares from preferred stock.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions made by management are based upon available current information, historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions made by management involve risks and uncertainties which could cause reported amounts to differ materially from actual future results. If management’s estimates and assumptions are inaccurate, the Company’s reported amounts and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities could be materially and adversely affected. Management considers its reserve for inventory and accounting for derivative liabilities to be significant estimates.

Future Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-28 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not currently effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

The tax provision for the nine months ended April 30, 2012, was a tax benefit of $237,902 and for the nine months ended April 30, 2011, was a tax expense of $14,957. The Company has no open tax years for the State of New Jersey or federal income tax purposes, which are subject to examination.

In 1998, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation allowing emerging technology and/or biotechnology companies to sell their unused New Jersey Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) Carryover and Research and Development Tax Credits (“R&D” Credits) to corporate taxpayers in New Jersey. During the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, the Company entered into agreements to sell up to $254,687 of its unused tax losses. The Company received net proceeds of $227,945, during the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, related to the sale and accordingly recorded them as a tax benefit in the period received. During the nine month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company did not enter into such agreements and did not receive such tax benefits.

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY

The Series A Preferred Stock provides 4% cumulative dividends, which were $134,733 ($0.87 per share) and $130,083 ($0.84 per shares) in arrears at April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively. In addition, each share of Series A Preferred Stock may be exchanged for one share of Common Stock upon surrender of the Preferred Stock and payment of $5,760,000 (due to reverse stock splits) per share. The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at $.50 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock was $212,233 and $207,583 at April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively.

The Series B Preferred Stock provides cumulative dividends of $0.90 per share, which were $43,978 ($36.74 per share) and $43,173 ($36.06 per share) in arrears at April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively. In addition, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into .005 of one share of Common Stock. The liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred Stock is the dividend in arrears plus $15 per share. The liquidation preference was $61,933 and $61,128 at April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, respectively.

On October 6, 2011, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 5,114,072 shares of its common stock for $511,407, in a private placement offering.

Between December 14 and 22, 2011, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,365,000 shares of its common stock for $136,500, in a private placement offering.

On July 20, 2011 the Board Directors, by unanimous written consent, voted in favor a five-for-one reverse split and subsequently filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation to effectuate the reverse split no later than August 15, 2011. However, the reverse split cannot be effectuated as the Company is currently waiting for FINRA’s announcement of the reverse split to the marketplace, which the Company anticipates sometime next quarter.

NOTE 5 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2002 Stock Option Plan

On April 23, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan (“the 2002 Plan”). Under the 2002 Plan, the Company may grant up to 158 shares of common stock as either incentive stock options under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code or nonqualified stock options. Subject to the terms of the 2002 Plan, options may be granted to eligible persons at any time and under such terms and conditions as determined by the 2002 Stock Option Committee (‘the Committee”). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, each stock option shall terminate no later than ten years (or such shorter time as may be fixed by the Committee) after the date in which it was granted. The exercise price for incentive stock options must be at least one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of common stock as determined on the date of the grant. The exercise price for nonqualified stock options may not be granted at less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

As of April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2011, there had been no shares granted under the 2002 Plan.

The Plan expired on April 22, 2012.

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has Stock Incentive Plans pursuant to which the Company may grant a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants. The Company’s 2008 and 2009 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by its shareholders, authorizing the Board to, from time-to-time, issue up to 800,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants under each plan.

The specific number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock granted to any officer, director, employee or consultant will be determined by the Board.

No common shares of Company stock were issued to current officers, directors, employees and consultants for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and for the year ended July 31, 2011.

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and up to the time of filing of the financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On May 1, 2012, the Board of Directors issued a Unanimous Written Consent authorizing a private placement of the Company’s Common Stock (par value $.01) and warrants permitting the subscriber to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock. For an aggregate purchase price of $.25, subscribers will receive one share of Common Stock and two Warrants, each of which will permit the subscriber to purchase one share of Common Stock for $.01. The subscription agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other in the context of all of the terms and conditions of that agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. The provisions of the subscription agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements, and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and their agreements.

These securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since they agreed to, and received, share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On May 3, 2012, the Board of Directors issued a Unanimous Written Consent authorizing the issuance of 214,286 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (par value $.01), valued at $.07 per share, to Rosenberg, Rick, Baker, Berman & Company as payment for accounting services previously rendered to the Company.

On May 3, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a new Employment Agreement with Marc Benou, the president of the corporation. The Agreement is effective as of May 29, 2012 and will continue until May 29, 2016 (the “Term”), unless terminated sooner, and upon completion of the Term, will automatically renew for successive one year periods unless terminated by either party by advance written notice. Mr. Benou’s annual salary will initially be $199,000 and will increase by 3% annually.

Between May 1 and June 12, 2012, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 65,000 shares of its common stock for $6,500 as part of its initial private placement offering.

Between May 1 and June 12, 2012, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 676,000 shares of its common stock and 1,352,000 warrants for $169,000 as part of its secondary private placement offering.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan”, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on November 15, 2011, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are engaged in the design and manufacture of (i) digital communications equipment specifically designed for the protection of electric utilities’ transmission lines.(ii) digital signal processing (DSP) systems and electromagnetic wave filters for differentiation among discreet audio and radio frequencies; (iii) audio transmitters and modulators, for the transmission over telephone lines, microwave circuits, or satellite, of electrical signals obtained from transducers, data generated in electronic code form or by computers or other similar equipment (not manufactured by us); (iv) audio receivers and demodulators which are small systems which receive and decode the signals from the audio transmitters and convert them into digital codes for input into computers, or other similar equipment (not manufactured by us) or convert such signals into mechanical or other form of energy, such as opening or closing valves, or starting or stopping a motor; (v) fiber optic monitoring and routing equipment to measure transmission levels and direct communication flow through multiple transmission heads via electrical to light conversions; and (vi) analog transmitters and receivers, which permit the coding/transmission and receiving/decoding of a constantly variable data, such as the water level in a tank, pressure in a pipe or temperature, by actually displaying the exact information at the receiving end in digital form for storing in a computer or other devices, or by physically displaying the information in a visual fashion such as a numerical readout or meter.

17


Description of Revenues

Cost of Revenue:

Total product cost of goods sold for the quarter ended April 30, 2012, amounted to $119,568 compared to $230,248 for the quarter ended April 30, 2011, a decrease of $110,680 or 48%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is a result of a comparable decrease in sales.

Gross Profit:

The gross profit percentage of 50.2% for the quarter ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of 3.9% from 54.1% for the quarter ended April 30, 2011. The decrease is attributed to sales of PDR-2000 at a higher price last year due to the customer choice of product features with higher margins.

Operating Expenses:

General and Administrative: For the quarter ended April 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses decreased $82,671 to $462,279 from $544,950. This decrease of 15% can mostly be attributed to (a) professional fees decreasing $16,895 over the prior year three months period due to legal fees and accounting fees associated with the restatement of prior filed financial statements, (b) insurance costs decreasing $109,204 due to lower premiums, and (c) a reduction of $32,866 in bad debt expense.

Research and Development: For the quarter ended April 30, 2012, research and development cost was $14,730, an increase of $13,390 as compared to the prior year total of $1,340. Our research and development costs can be attributed to enhancing the FIDRA and GlowWorm products.

Selling Expenses: For the quarter ended April 30, 2012, selling expenses were $46,464, a decrease of $32,721 versus the prior year total of $79,185 mainly due to a decrease in sales commissions, due to lower sales, and reduced business travel.

Total Other Income and Expenses:

For the quarter ended April 30, 2012, other income/expense was expense of $3,035, a decrease of $10,093 as compared to income of $7,058 for the quarter ended April 30, 2011. The difference is mainly related to receipt of a $10,000 legal settlement during the prior year.

Income Tax Benefit:

In 1998, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation allowing emerging technology and/or biotechnology companies to sell their unused New Jersey Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) Carryover and Research and Development Tax Credits (“R&D” Credits) to corporate taxpayers in New Jersey. During the three month periods ended April 30, 2012 and April 30, 2011, did not receive such tax benefits.

Net Loss:

The Company recorded a net loss of $405,143 for the quarter ended April 30, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $349,612 for the quarter ended April 30, 2011. The increase in net loss of $55,531 can mainly be attributed to reduced sales during the current period which were offset by higher operating expenses during the prior quarter. For the quarter ended April 30, 2012, gross profit decreased $151,172, general and administrative costs were $82,671 lower than the prior period, while research and development was up versus the prior period by $13,390, and selling expense was $32,721 higher. As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common shares of ($0.02) basic and diluted loss per share compared to ($0.03) basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended April 30, 2011.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended April 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2011

Operating Revenues:

Sales for the nine month period ended April 30, 2012 were significantly lower as compared to the prior year nine month period. The sales revenue decreased $685,364 or 58% to $494,344, compared to total revenue of $1,179,708. During the same nine month period in 2011, the Company was completing two significant contract orders for the delivery of the PDR-2000. Military sales was another area with a significant decline in sales, military sales declined $25,734 mainly due to cut backs in government military spending.

Cost of Revenue:

Total product cost of goods sold for the nine months ended April 30, 2012, amounted to $232,053 compared to $638,986 for the nine months ended April 30, 2011, a decrease of $406,933 or 64%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is a result of significantly lower sales.

Gross Profit:

The gross profit percentage of 53.1% for the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, an increase from 7.3% for the nine month period ended April 30, 2011. The increase in gross profit percentage was due to a price correction on the PDR-2000 during the nine months ended April 30, 2012. The price for the same product was cut aggressively as part of a competitive contract that expired in fiscal 2011.

Operating Expenses:

General and Administrative: For the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses decreased $516,707 to $1,580,594 from $2,097,301. This decrease of 25% can mostly be attributed to (a) professional fees decreasing $594,634 over the prior year nine month period due to legal fees and accounting fees associated with the restatement of prior filed financial statements, and (b) filing fees, printing costs, and public relations fees, also associated with the restatement issues, decreased $192,238 versus the prior year nine month period. These decreases were offset by (c) an increase of $242,938 in payroll expense, mostly due to officer compensation that was accrued this quarter rather than forgiven, and (d) an increase of $102,600 in stock compensation expense related to the issuance of shares to employees and directors.

Research and Development: For the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, research and development cost was $60,970, a decrease of $2,643 as compared to the prior year total of $63,613. Our research and development costs, which are attributed to enhancing the FIDRA and GlowWorm products, decreased from the prior period as the development cycle comes to end.

20


Selling Expenses: For the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, selling expenses were $229,630, an increase of $116,387 versus the prior year total of $113,243 mainly due to an increase of marketing expense by $161,003 related to the marketing campaigns for the company’s FIDRA and GlowWorm products. This increase was offset by a decrease in travel and entertainment of $69,366.

Total Other Income and Expenses:

For the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, other income/expense was expense of $25,377, a decrease of $1,844,549 as compared to the nine month period ended April 30, 2011. This large decrease in other income/expense is primarily a result of recording of amortization and interest expense related to a subscription agreement entered into on August 3, 2009, which had a conversion feature embedded in the Company’s convertible debt and certain warrants.

Income Tax Benefit:

In 1998, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation allowing emerging technology and/or biotechnology companies to sell their unused New Jersey Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) Carryover and Research and Development Tax Credits (“R&D” Credits) to corporate taxpayers in New Jersey. During the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, the Company entered into agreements to sell up to $254,687 of its unused tax losses. The Company received net proceeds of $227,945, during the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, related to the sale and accordingly recorded them as a tax benefit in the period received. During the nine month period ended April 30, 2011, the Company did not enter into such agreements and did not receive such tax benefits.

Net Loss:

The Company recorded a net loss of $1,396,378 for the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $3,618,318 for the nine month period ended April 30, 2011. The decrease in net loss of $2,221,940 can mainly be attributed to (a) noncash transactions related to the subscription agreement entered into in August 2009, which resulted in amortization costs related to derivative financial instruments of $1,751,966, and (b) professional fees decreasing $594,634 over the prior year nine month period due to legal fees and accounting fees associated with the restatement of prior filed financial statements. For the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, gross profit decreased $278,431, general and administrative costs were $516,707 lower than the prior period, while research and development was down versus the prior period by $2,643, and selling expense was $116,387 higher. As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common shares of ($0.08) basic and diluted loss per share compared to ($0.39) basic and diluted loss per share for the nine month period ended April 30, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have had recurring losses from operations of $1,396,378 for the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, and used cash from operations in the amount of $576,186 and $899,275 for the nine month periods ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At April 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,717.

At April 30, 2012, the Company had total current assets of $671,006 and total current liabilities of $2,049,423, resulting in a working capital deficit of $1,378,417 compared to a working capital deficit of $765,966 at the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. The Company’s current assets consists of $18,717 in cash and cash equivalents, $91,404 in accounts receivable, $509,304 in inventory and $51,581 in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Accounts receivable decreased from $476,435 at July 31, 2011 to $91,404 at April 30, 2012, resulting from the timing of collections and lower sales during the nine month period ended April 30, 2012.

During the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, the Company initiated two private placement offerings.

As of June 12, 2012, the initial private placement offering resulted in subscription agreements with 30 accredited investors for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 6,754,072 shares of the Company’s common stock (par value $.01 per share) for an aggregate purchase price of $0.10 per share. The Company received proceeds of $675,407.20.

As of June 12, 2012, the secondary private placement offering resulted in subscription agreements with 15 accredited investors for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 676,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (par value $.01 per share) and 1,352,000 warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $0.25 per share and two warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.01. The Company received proceeds of $169,000.

The Company used the proceeds of the placement for general corporate purposes, including general and administrative expenses.

Cash expenditures have exceeded revenues for the prior quarters and Management expects this consumption of cash to continue into the next three quarters. Our operations have been, and will continue to be, funded from existing cash balances and private placements of equity funding. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, we raised $316,350 from loans made to the company by Robert Benou. During the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, we raised an additional $100,000 from loans made by Mr. Benou. To date, Mr. Benou has received repayments totaling $241,350, of which, repayments totaling $181,350 were made during the nine month period ended April 30, 2012. We are dependent on improved operating results and raising additional funds over the next twelve month period. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise additional funding. In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or receive proceeds from offerings of debt or equity securities, the Company may be forced to curtail or cease it activities and/or operations.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash used in operating activities was $576,747 for the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, as compared to $899,275 net cash used in operating activities for the nine month period ended April 30, 2011, a decrease of $323,089. The use of cash of $576,747 for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 can be attributed to: (a) accounts receivable balance decline due to the of collections open receivables, resulting in cash provided of $385,031 and (b) increases in inventory balances, accrued expenses, and prepaid expenses and decreases in accounts payable.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

There was no use of cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended April 30, 2012. For the nine month period ended April 30, 2011, net cash used investing activities was $5,899 for the purchase of equipment.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided from financing activities was $587,557 for the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, as compared to $266,350 provided in the same nine month period in 2011. In the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $668,907 from sale of common stock through a private placement. These funds were used for repayment of $181,350 against the loans made by Robert Benou during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.

INFLATION

Management believes that the results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management does not expect inflation to have a significant effect on its operations in the future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require 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 reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management uses its best judgment in valuing these estimates and may, as warranted, solicit external professional advice and other assumptions believed to be reasonable. The following critical accounting policies, some of which are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates, affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions made by management as based upon available current information, historical experience and other

22


factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions made by management involve risks and uncertainties which could cause reported amounts to differ materially from actual future results. If management’s estimates and assumptions are inaccurate, the Company’s reported amounts and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities could be materially and adversely affected. Management considers its reserve for inventory and accounting for derivative liabilities to be significant estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recorded in accordance with the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which supersedes SAB No. 101. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time of shipment (when title has passed) upon fulfillment of acceptance terms; products are not sold on a conditional basis. Therefore, when delivery has occurred the sale is complete as long as the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The preparation of financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the collectability of our accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has a concentration risk in trade accounts receivable with significant sales to the government and local agencies. The credit evaluation process has mitigated the credit risk, such losses have been minimal, and within management expectations.

INVENTORY VALUATIONS, COMPONENTS AND AGING

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Finished goods costs included raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Excess and obsolete inventory costs are expensed and a reserve for slow-moving inventory is made on management’s estimates.

Finished goods are products that have been completed in connection with specific orders and are awaiting shipment. Work-in-Process represents raw material components that have been requisitioned from the warehouse and are being assembled in the manufacturing area. Raw Materials consist of components parts purchased from various suppliers and are used to build our finished products. Various raw material parts are also maintained to support warranty claims for commercial and military products. Typical raw material products include PC boards, digital screen assemblies, guide rails, capacitors, terminals, power supplies, process chips, resistors, keypads, relays and face plates.

The Company provides a twelve-year warranty on all commercial products and is required by government regulation to design and produce military products with a minimum 25-year operating life in addition to shelf life.

The Company maintains a significant amount of raw material component parts and some of this raw material inventory is not expected to be realized within a twelve month operating cycle from the balance sheet date. For any raw material part which has not been purchased within the last twelve months from the balance sheet date, it is evaluated as part of the slow moving inventory and is part of our reserve review. The Company estimated a usage rate for its raw material component parts for what it expects to use over a 36 month period. Any excess inventory based on this projected usage rate is written off as excess and obsolete. The Company then reserves 100% of the estimated usage that is over 12 months and less than 36 months. Certain raw material parts which have been written down to a zero value, may still be maintained in inventory to satisfy possible requirements under the warranty programs but are valued at zero. The Company evaluates the inventory parts based on their age and usage over a 36 month period to determine inventory and obsolescence and reserve adjustments.

WARRANTY

The Company provides a twelve-year warranty on its commercial products and 25 years on its military products: the warranty covers parts and labor. The Company, at its option, repairs or replaces products that are found defective during the warranty period providing proper preventive maintenance procedures have been followed by customers.

23


Repairs necessitated by misuse of such products are not covered by our warranty. In cases of defective products, the customer typically returns them to the Company’s facility in Somerville, New Jersey. The Company’s service personnel will replace or repair the defective items and ship them back to the customer. All servicing is completed at the Company’s main facility and customers are charged a fee for those service items that are not covered by the warranty. We do not offer our customers any formal written service contracts. Our warranty costs have historically been insignificant and therefore a provision was not warranted. Management continues to monitor the costs and will provide a warranty provision if circumstances change.

INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases 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. A valuation allowance is recorded when the expected recognition of a deferred tax asset is considered to be unlikely. The guidance also requires that the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. If a tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition criterion, the guidance requires that the tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit greater than 50 percent not likely of being sustained upon ultimate settlement. Based on the Company’s evaluation, management has concluded that there are significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements with respect to the sale of the Company’s New Jersey Net Operating Loss Carryovers. In the event the Company receives an assessment for interest and/or penalties by major tax jurisdiction it would be classified in the financial statements as general and administrative expense.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for stock-based compensation. This guidance requires that new, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as grants of stock options and restricted stock, be recognized in the financial statements based upon their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over their vesting periods. The Company also follows the guidance for equity instruments issued to consultants.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short term convertible Debentures approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The recorded value of long-term debt approximates its fair value as the terms and rates approximate market rates.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

 

Level 1 –

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2 –

Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

24



 

 

Level 3 –

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.

DEBT DISCOUNT

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for debt discount and valuation of detachable warrants the Company recognized the value of detachable warrants issued in conjunction with issuance of the secured convertible debenture notes. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the warrant relative fair value as an increase to additional paid-in capital and discount against the related debt. The discount attributed to the value of the warrants is amortized over the term of the underlying debt using the effective interest method.

EFFECTS OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-28 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not currently effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer

25


and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
