PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Conolog Corporation (the”Company”, “Conolog”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is engaged in the design, production (directly and/or through subcontractors) and distribution of small electronic and electromagnetic components and sub-assemblies for use in telephone, radio and microwave transmission and reception and other communication areas that are used in both military and commercial applications. Our products are used for transceiving various quantities, data and protective relaying functions in industrial, utility and other markets.

HISTORY

We were organized in 1968 and were engaged primarily in the design and manufacture electronic components and systems for military applications.

In July 1971, we merged with DSI Systems, Inc., then engaged in the development and manufacture of terminal viewers for digital retrieval of microfilm. Later that year, we changed our name to Conolog Corporation.

In 1981 we acquired one of our customers, INIVEN Corporation (“INIVEN”). At that time, we were manufacturing, on behalf of INIVEN, a line of transmitters and receivers used for controlling and transceiving the measurement of the flow of gases and liquids, by gas and water utilities for controlling the flow of waste water and sewage and measuring and controlling traffic.

During 1987, we made a strategic decision to redirect our focus from military to commercial markets. Since that time, we have refocused on manufacturing and marketing our products for the commercial marketplace rather than depend on the military and defense-related markets. Our primary emphasis was on products for electric utilities, co-generation of power, gas and water companies, traffic control for departments of transport (DOT) and airports utilizing DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology.

In September 1998, we acquired the assets of Atlas Design, Inc., a human resource outsourcing company, to further our strategy of mergers and acquisitions, and to assist in providing qualified engineering and technical staff in support of our longer term contracts.

In January 2001, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Prime Time Staffing Inc. and Professional Temp Solutions, Inc. These companies provided permanent and temporary employees for the graphics design firms, book publishing companies and engineering businesses.

During the year ended July 31, 2001, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Lonogoc Corporation (Currently inactive). In August, 2000, Lonogoc Corporation purchased the assets of Independent Computer Maintenance Corporation, which provided installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of computer systems and networks. On October 22, 2002, we entered an agreement to rescind the Asset Purchase Agreement between us and Independent Computer Maintenance Corporation. Under the rescission agreement, Conolog and its subsidiary agreed to transfer all assets previously purchased pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, to the extent they still exist, to the former seller. The return of the purchase price paid for the assets was $600,000, $300,000 in cash at closing, a note, which is secured by a first mortgage on a condominium, for $150,000 bearing an interest rate of 7.5% of which will be paid over 24 months in equal monthly installments of $6,750 per month beginning December 2002, and an unsecured note receivable for $137,350 payable over 10 years beginning December 2004 bearing an interest rate of 5%. During fiscal 2009, the maker of the note stopped making payments on this note receivable and the Company reserved $83,100 at July 31, 2009. During fiscal 2010 the maker of the note made only one payment of $1,610. The Company filed legal action and a Judgment was granted in favor of the Company. On March 28, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Independent Computer Maintenance Corporation in which the Company received a payment of $10,000. This case is now closed.

In March 2004, we ceased operating our staffing business. The assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nologoc, Inc.

3


trading as Atlas Design, were sold to the subsidiary’s Vice President. In consideration of the sale, we received $34,000 in cash.

PRODUCTS

We are engaged in the design and manufacture of (i) transducers, which are electro-magnetic devices which convert electrical energy into mechanical and other forms of physical energy, or conversely convert mechanical and other forms of physical energy into electrical energy; (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, teletypes 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) magnetic “networks” which are devices that permit the matching or coupling of different types of communication equipment together or many identical or similar equipment together or onto telephone or other transmission lines so as not to cause interference; 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, (vii) fiber optic switching and monitoring devices which permit physical layer control and in line, live, level monitoring of most types of fiber optics, and (viii) digital communication systems that are utilized in the protection of transmission lines and the tripping or blocking of protection circuits in the case of faults.

Such products are used in radio and other transmissions, telephones and telephone exchanges, air and traffic control, automatic transmission of data for utilities, and for use by electric utilities in monitoring power transmission lines for faults and/or failures. Our products may be used independently or in combination with other products to form a system type configuration, whereby our equipment is pre-assembled in a large cabinet with other equipment in a configuration that would provide the end user with protection as well as operational status displays.

OUR STRATEGY

Our strategy is to develop new commercial markets by continuing to develop new products and enhance existing products to improve both our market share and competitive position. Growth in commercial sales is expected to come through internal growth of existing products, new product introductions and the expansion of regional markets to meet the growing needs of our customers for more sophisticated and comprehensive products and services.

FIBER OPTIC MONITORING

The expansion of fiber lines by our customers and their need to switch equipment from phone lines to fiber prompted us to design and introduce a fiber-optic line of switches and monitoring. Conolog has recognized an absence in the fiber optic market of a physical layer switch. “Fidra” couples any manufacturer’s fiber optic equipment to inter-station fiber optic line. With delay measured in the thousandths of a second, Fidra can convert signals between fiber types, act as a repeater, in-line level monitor, and can eliminate the need to ever disconnect an operational fiber from its device

Passive fiber level monitoring is the design of “GlowWorm”, our patent pending product that can be utilized to determine the transmission level of fiber signals without the need of splicing or cutting a fiber optic cable in any way.

PRESENT STATUS/BUSINESS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

We market and sell our products to three basic types of customers:

COMMERCIAL “INIVEN” SALES AND PRODUCTS

“INIVEN” equipment is designed around four (4) core product groups:

 

 

 

 

1)

PTR and PDR Teleprotection Series (Protective Tone Relaying Communications Terminal), which includes the PTR-1500 and PDR-2000.

 

 

 

 

2)

Audio Tone & Telemetry Equipment (Audio Tone Control, Telemetering and Data Transmission Systems), which includes Series “98”, and “GEN-1”.

 

 

 

 

3)

PTR AND PDR TELEPROTECTION SERIES

This product is designed for use exclusively by electric power generators (electric utilities and co-generators) in order to protect their transmission and distribution lines. The PTR-1500, by monitoring the output signal of the transmission equipment in less than one hundredth of a second protects the transmission and distribution lines.

The PTR-1500 is installed in pairs, one unit at each end of the line. Each unit is connected and in constant communication with the other, as they continuously monitors the line for faults. In the event of a fault occurring (such as a downed line or a short circuit) at either end and when confirmed by the receiving PTR-1500 unit, the line is immediately isolated for shut down, averting costly damage and downtime.

The PTR-1500 is a quad system and performs as 2 duals or 4 singles with many unique features such as multiple line operation, event recording with date stamp with optional analog or digital transmission modes including optic fiber interface.

The PDR-2000 is an 8 channel high speed communication system for use in electric power transmission protection schemes. Unique features include event recording, on-board and remote programming, and ID (unit to unit identification on all communications), Packet Forwarding (ability to forward information such as trips and all events through indirect communication paths), password protection and multiple communication ports.

The PTR/PDR Teleprotection Series are designed for global use by electric utilities and any entity generating power for its own consumption with resale of surplus power to an electric utility, such as cities, municipalities, cooperatives and large corporations that find it more economical to generate their own electricity.

The PTR/PDR market is:

 

 

 

 

New installations; i.e., new transmission lines, new distribution segments, for utilities and cogenerators.

 

 

 

 

Existing installations not properly protected, improving efficiency and reducing down time.

5



 

 

 

 

Existing installations for upgrading to PTR/PDR technology, again improving efficiency and down time.

Sales efforts for the PTR/PDR are presently being conducted by the Company’s marketing executives, through independent manufacturers’ representatives and through distributors. Sales are targeted primarily to the largest utilities and co-generators.

In the United States alone, there are over 500 large entities generating electricity. They are:

 

 

 

 

Municipal Systems

 

 

 

 

Cooperative Systems

 

 

 

 

Federal, State and District Systems

98 AND GEN-1 SERIES

For many years there has been a need for a modularly independent system that would permit a user, from a distance, to control functions such as opening a valve, starting a motor, shutting down a compressor, changing a traffic signal, control landing lights at an airport, activate a hazard warning on a highway, and in return allow the user to receive information, such as the liquid level in a tank, the pressure in a pipe, the rate of flow out of a compressor, the flow of traffic, the status of a traffic light, airport lights, or confirmation that a command was performed. Such information is transmitted and received and the control functions are performed from a distance utilizing telephone lines, microwave link or direct wire.

These applications, by their nature, can be accomplished with slow speed signaling systems composed of a transmitter on one end and a receiver on the other to carry out the necessary instructions provided by the transmitter. Each set (transmitter/receiver combination) is called a channel. Because of the slow speed, up to 30 channels could be made to transmit and receive signals, in either direction on a single telephone line, microwave link or direct-wired line at the same time. This parallel transmission permits each transmitter/receiver pair to be independent of all the others.

This product line includes the first generation equipment, known as GEN-1, followed by later generations which include technological improvements and programmable capabilities to include:

GEN-1 Series - First generation with electromagnetic modules and first generation programmable modules without electro-magnetic modules.

“98” Series - The latest generation applies DSP and microprocessor technology with full programmability, in the field or at the factory.

The diversity of applications for this equipment makes it available for a wide range of users who are not restricted to a single industry. Typical industrial uses include: the measurement of water and gas, waste water, gasoline, oil, traffic, and electricity. Typical users include: utilities, co-generators, airports, navy yards, telephone companies, paper and pulp processors and wherever remote control and data acquisition is required.

Since our line has a distinct mechanical configuration, we designed our GEN-1 Programmable units and other improvements as replacements for existing units.

Our line of GEN-1 equipment is extensive and provides the user with the ability to perform multiple control functions, status monitoring as well as continuous variable data monitoring, such as a level in a tank or pressure gauge.

Sales for this line are primarily for the replacement of existing installations and for expansion of these installations where it would not be economical to install the latest technology, which would not be mechanically compatible.

6


Sales to this market are made in the same manner as the PTR/PDR market except that manufacturers’ representatives specialize in selling to this diverse market.

“98,” Series represents our latest design in audio tone equipment utilizing the more advanced DSP technology, which provides high accuracy and long-term stability. These features have allowed us to greatly improve the scope, density and number of functions that can be performed on a single phone line, microwave link or direct line.

Sales of these products are made by the same agents who sell our GEN-1 products, but are also directed to encompass more sophisticated users with larger amounts of data and control points. The mechanical configuration of the “98” series is more compact, permitting more equipment in a given space.

Typical applications for these products include transmission of the variable data (such as volume, temperature, pressure and moisture) for water, gas, industrial gases, oil, gasoline, transportation equipment and telephone exchanges, and for use at airports, tunnels and bridges and for security and electricity systems.

MILITARY SALES

Military sales are primarily our electromagnetic wave filters used in military radios, vehicles (cars, trucks or tanks), portable (backpack), special signaling equipment and exchanges (as in field command posts), ship to ship teletype signaling filters used in deployment of ships (UCC-1 and UCC-4 systems) as well as many other signaling applications where accurate electromagnetic frequency control is required.

Our military sales are received through independent sales representatives who are paid a commission.

MARKETING AND SALES

In general, our products are marketed through telemarketing, customer contacts by our President and through independent manufacturing sales representatives and distributors.

COMPETITION

The market for our products is very competitive. There are several companies engaged in providing similar services and in manufacturing products similar to those produced by us, most of which are substantially larger and have substantially greater name recognition or greater financial resources and personnel. The major competitive factors include availability of personnel, product quality, reliability, price, service and delivery. Competition is expected to continue and intensify. The market is also characterized by rapid technological changes and advances. We would be adversely affected if our competitors introduced technologically superior products or offered these products and services at significantly lower prices than our products. Our significant competitors are SL Industries, ABB and Siemens.

INVENTORY - RAW MATERIALS

We believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials available for use in our business. Our products are

7


assembled from a variety of standard electronic components and sub-assemblies, such as integrated circuits, transformers, transistors, passive components (i.e., resistors, capacitors and inductors), diodes and assorted hardware, such as, printed circuit boards, connectors and faceplates. We are not dependent upon any single supplier.

MANUFACTURING

The Company currently rents approximately 7,000 square feet of the facility located at 5 Columbia Road, Somerville, New Jersey for a combination of manufacturing and office space. The Company assembles, under normal workload conditions, the product it sells; however, to accommodate the peak demands that occur from time to time, we can engage a number of subcontractors to assemble boards to our specifications. All assemblies are inspected and fully tested by our quality, engineering and testing departments. We maintain test equipment and every product is burned-in (i.e., each product is run at full power for 48 hours) and tested prior to shipment.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

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, 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. Repairs that are necessitated by misuse of such products are not covered by our warranty. In cases of defective products, the customer typically returns them to our facility in Somerville, New Jersey. Our service personnel then replace or repair the defective items and ship them back to the customer. Generally all servicing is completed at our plant 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.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

New Products –

“GlowWorm” Fiber Optic Detector, is an independent, standalone product for detection of fiber optic cable failures without the need to cut the cable. It was introduced in September 2010. The Company has a Patent Pending on this product. Marketing is being focused on non-traditional Conolog customers.

Fidra is an active, multifunction fiber network physical switch, designed to monitor, reroute, repeat, boost, and disable up to three (3) fiber optic communication pairs. While initial development of Fidra is completed, additional development is needed to offer additional versions that will allow us to serve more applications.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

We do not have any patents covering any of our present products. We use the name INIVEN for our commercial products. We believe that this name is recognized in our industry. We believe that our prospects are dependent primarily on our ability to offer our customers high quality, reliable products at competitive prices rather than on our ability to obtain and defend patents on some products. We do not believe that our INIVEN name is of material importance to the Company’s business.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous existing and proposed federal and state regulations designed to protect the environment, establish occupational safety and health standards and cover other matters. We believe that our operations are in compliance with existing regulations and we do not believe that such compliance has had or will have any material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. With respect to military sales, we are not subject to any special regulations. The products manufactured are done so in accordance with accepted commercial practices.

EMPLOYEES

As of July 31, 2012, we employed 14 people on a full-time basis. We have enjoyed good labor relations.

Overview

We are engaged in the design and manufacture of (i) transducers, which are electro-magnetic devices which convert electrical energy into mechanical and other forms of physical energy, or conversely convert mechanical and other forms of physical energy into electrical energy; (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, teletypes 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) magnetic “networks” which are devices that permit the matching or coupling of different types of communication equipment together or many identical or similar equipment together or onto telephone or other transmission lines so as not to cause interference; 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, (vii) fiber optic switching and monitoring devices which permit physical layer control and in line, live, level monitoring of most types of fiber optics, and (viii) digital communication systems that are utilized in the protection of

11


transmission lines and the tripping or blocking of protection circuits in the case of faults.

Description of Revenues

We derive operating revenues from the sales of products used in radio and other transmissions, telephones and telephone exchanges, air and traffic control, automatic transmission of data for utilities, tele-printing of transmitted data such as news and stock market information and for use by electric utilities in monitoring power transmission lines for faults and/or failures. Our products may be used independently or in combination with other products to form a system type configuration, whereby our equipment is pre-assembled in a large cabinet with other equipment in a configuration that would provide the end user with protection as well as operational status displays.

Description of Expenses

Also included in G&A expenses is professional services for legal, accounting and business consultants, as well as, rent, depreciation and general corporate expenditures.; and (iii) Selling costs, consisting mainly of commissions and trade shows expenditures; (iv) Research and Development expenses represent the costs of our development efforts related to new products; (v) Other income (expense) consist of interest income on cash and cash equivalents, interest expense consist of interest expense on convertible debentures. Other expenses consist of change in fair value of derivatives associated with the convertible debentures, along with amortization of debt discount and deferred financing fees also associated with the convertible debentures.

Results of Operations

Year Ended July 31, 2012 Compared with the Year Ended July 31, 2011

Operating Revenues:

The majority of the Company’s sales revenue has been generated from sales of the PDR-2000 Teleprotection products. Our total sales revenue decreased $860,134 or 50.8% for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 to $831,718 compared to total revenues of $1,691,852 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. Our PDR-2000 sales decreased approximately $858,324 or 58.2% over the prior year due to a decrease in demand. The decrease is thought to be a reduction in projects by our customers for the 2012 fiscal year. PTR-1500 sales increased $9,741 or 27.8%. Telemetry sales decreased $13,164 or 15% due to the natural rhythm of our markets. We expect this category to further decline in the coming years. Military sales decreased $10,163 or 13% due to cut backs in the governments military spending for 2012. Repairs and sales of spare parts increased as a result of the life cycle of some of our products.

Cost of Revenue:

Total product cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 amounted to $429,427 compared to $1,175,038 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, a decrease of $745,611 or 63.5%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is primarily a result of the sales volume of the PDR-2000 decreasing 58.2% versus the prior year.

Operating Expenses:

General and Administrative: For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses decreased $667,537 to $2,017,512 from $2,685,049. This decrease of approximately 24.9% can mostly be attributed the following: (a) a decrease of $585,474 in professional fees and a decrease of stock expense of $197,143 both related to the restatement, in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, of financial data for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2010; and (b) a decrease of $142,366 in insurance premiums due to lower premiums for some policies. These reductions were offset by (c) an increase of $155,401 for labor costs booked directly to expense, rather than inventory; (d) an increase in Employee Stock Compensation Expense of $102,449; and (e) an increase of $12,760 in rent expense.

Research and Development: For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 research and development cost was $80,433, an increase of $12,411. or 18.2%, versus the prior year total of $68,022. Our research and development costs can mainly be attributed to enhancing the FIDRA, GlowWorm, and PDR-2000 products.

Selling Expenses: For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 selling expense was $316,001, an increase of $50,174 or 18.9% versus the prior year total of $265,827. The increase is mainly due to the increase of $176,852 in marketing related to campaigns for the FIDRA and GlowWorm products. This increase was offset by (a) a decrease of $70,696 in commission expenses due to a large decrease in sales; and (b) a decrease of approximately $50,000 in travel and entertainment.

Total Other Income and Expenses:

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, other income/expense was expense of $16,941, a decrease of $1,799,916 versus the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. This large decrease in other expense is primarily a result of recording a derivative liability associated with a subscription agreement entered into in fiscal year 2010. The subscription agreement entered into on August 3, 2009, had a conversion feature embedded in the Company’s convertible debt and certain warrants that required the recording of a derivative liability in the amount of $1,806,518 in fiscal year 2011.

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 fiscal years ended July 31, 2012, the Company entered into agreements to sell up to $5,707,131 of its unused tax losses. The Company received net proceeds of $227,945 during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, related to the sale and accordingly recorded them as a tax benefit in the year received. The net tax benefit recorded in the Statement of Operations for 2012 of $226,361 consists of the proceeds received from the sale of the Company’s NJ NOL’s offset New Jersey State tax refunds of $4,800 and New Jersey state tax expense of $6,384.

Net Loss:

The Company recorded a net loss of $1,802,235 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $4,322,733 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 gross profit decreased $114,523 and general and administrative decreased $667,537 compared to the prior fiscal year. Research and development was up versus the prior period by $12,411, as was selling expense by $50,174. As a result of the

13


foregoing, the Company reported net loss applicable to common shares of ($0.10) basic and diluted loss per share compared to ($0.43) basic and diluted loss per share for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have had recurring losses from operations of $2,011,656 and $2,502,084 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively and used cash in operations in the amounts of $747,105 and $1,055,549 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At July 31, 2012, the Company had cash and equivalents of $70,359.

At July 31, 2012, the Company had total current assets of $743,621 and total current liabilities of $2,301,756, resulting in working capital deficit of $1,558,135. The Company’s current assets consists of $70,359 in cash and cash equivalent, $132,747 in accounts receivable, $497,235 in inventory and $43,280 in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Accounts receivable decreased from $476,435 at July 31, 2011 to $132,747 at July 31, 2012. This decrease in our accounts receivable is the result of a sales decrease of $860,134 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 and the timing of collections.

The Company entered into subscription agreements, as amended, with 27 accredited investors for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 6,754,072 shares in the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $0.10 per share. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $675,407 from the subscribers in connection with this Private Placement. The Company used the proceeds of the placement for general corporate purposes, including general and administrative expenses.

The Company entered into a second subscription agreement, as amended, with 19 accredited investors for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 802,000 shares in the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share and 1,604,000 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. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $200,500 from the subscribers in connection with this Private Placement. The Company used the proceeds of the placement for general corporate purposes, including general and administrative expenses.

Our operations have been, and will continue to be, funded from existing cash balances and private placements of equity funding. During our fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, we have raised $875,907 from the sale of common stock and $115,000 from loans made to the company by Robert Benou. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, Mr. Benou received repayments totaling $181,350 for loans made by him during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. 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 approximately $747,000 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, as compared to approximately $1,056,000 net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, a decrease of $309,000. This decrease in use of cash can be attributed to: (a) operational activities using approximately $611,000 less than in the previous year; and (b) decreases in accounts receivable of approximately $786,000. Offsetting these increases were (c) increases in prepaid expenses of approximately $160,000 over the previous year; (d) increases in inventories of approximately $505,000; (e) decreases in accounts payable of approximately $225,000; and (f) decreases in accrued expenses of approximately $195,000 over the prior year.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 the Company received proceeds of approximately $876,000 from sale of common stock compared to approximately $100,000 the prior year. In addition, the Company received proceeds of approximately $115,000 during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 from the issuance of notes payable to a Company officer, as opposed to approximately $316,000 received in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011. Repayments of approximately $181,000 were made against notes payable to the officer during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 and approximately $60,000 in repayments were made in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.

ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

16


During evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, conducted as part of the Company’s annual audit and preparation of our annual financial statements, several material weaknesses were identified. As a result of the material weaknesses, described more fully below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2012, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

The Company instituted and is continuing to implement corrective actions with respect to the deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has conducted, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management believes as of July 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following material weaknesses:

 

 

 

 

The Company lacks sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of experience and knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles and SEC reporting requirements.

 

The Company lacks adequate accounting resources to address non routine and complex transactions and financial reporting matters on a timely basis. Consequently various accounts were materially misstated in the previously issued financial statements which have caused a restatement of previously reported amounts.

 

The Company lacks adequate segregation of duties control concerning Information Technology (“IT”).

 

IT personnel perform accounting transactions, programming function and controls security function with the Company for IT.

 

The Company lacks appropriate environmental controls needed to ensure the security and reliability of IT equipment.

 

The Company lacks adequate journal entry approval and disclosure controls needed to identify and prevent misstatements in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes.

 

The Company’s control environment does not have adequate segregation of duties; the Company only had one person performing all accounting-related on-site duties.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company has commenced efforts to address the material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and its control environment through the following actions:

 

 

 

 

Supplementing existing resources with technically qualified third party consultants.

 

Institute a more stringent approval process for financial transactions

17



 

 

 

 

Perform additional procedures and analysis for significant transactions as a mitigating control in the control environment due to segregation of duties issues.

The Company believes that the consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, notwithstanding the material weaknesses we identified.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect that there are resources constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to combine these roles. Mr. Robert Benou has served as our Chairman since May 2001. Due to the small size of the Company, we believe it is currently most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions combined.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Conolog Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Conolog Corporation and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Also, an audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Conolog Corporation and Subsidiaries at July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011. In addition, at July 31, 2012 the Company has a significant working capital and stockholders’ deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CONOLOG CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS

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.

Going Concern

The accompanying 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 $2,011,656 and $2,502,084 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012and July 31, 2011, respectively, and used cash from operations in the amounts of $747,105for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012and $1,055,549 for the year ended July 31, 2011, respectively. At July 31, 2012, the Company had negative working capital of $1,558,135and a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,487,337. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying 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.

Principles of Consolidation

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

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 July 31, 2012 and 2011, 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

F-6


CONOLOG CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS

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 July 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011, were $- 0 - and $1,000, respectively.

The Company has a concentration risk in trade accounts receivable with significant sales to the government and local agencies. Two customers accounted for approximately 73%and 23% of accounts receivable as of July 31, 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 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.

Inventory consisted of the following as of July 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011:

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 $16,560 and$14,598 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 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.

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. As of July 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011, $0 of deferred financing costs remained to be amortized. Amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to $0 and $382,132 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 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

F-8


CONOLOG CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS

using the effective interest method. Amortization of debt discounts amounted to $0 and $720,687 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 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.

The Company believes its current assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate; however, unanticipated events and changes in market conditions could affect such estimates, resulting in the need for an impairment charge in future periods For the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 no such events or circumstances occurred causing an impairment charge.

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 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 $80,433 and $68,022 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $10,037 and $16,545 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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.

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 fiscal year ended 2012, the Company entered into agreements to sell its unused NOLs. Recognition of this asset and income have been in accordance with the

F-9


CONOLOG CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS

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. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, the company issued 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock (par value $0.01) at $.09 per share valued at $99,000. In addition, an officer of the Company granted 45,000 shares at $.07 per share to an employee. This grant was valued at $3,600 and was treated as contributed capital.

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 July 31, 2012, consist of 2,502,087 common shares from outstanding warrants and 155,006 common shares from preferred stock. Potentially dilutive securities at July 31, 2011, consisted of 982,837 common shares from outstanding warrants and 155,006 common shares from preferred stock. Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

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.

Advertising / Public Relations Costs

Advertising/Public Relations costs are charged to operations when incurred. These expenses were $3,750 and $15,000 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Future Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 gives entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset impaired. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 enhances current disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the statement of financial position. Entities are required to provide both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to facilitate comparability between financial statements prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP and financial statements prepared on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 (“ASU 2011-08”), which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill & Other. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 include examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. However, the examples are not intended to be all-inclusive and an entity may identify other relevant events and circumstances to consider in making the determination. The examples in this ASU 2011-08 supersede the previous examples under ASC Topic 350 of events and circumstances an entity should consider in determining whether it should test for impairment between annual tests, and also supersede the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to perform the second step of the impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity is no longer permitted to carry forward its detailed calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value from a prior year as previously permitted under ASC Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04 (“ASU 2011-04”), which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 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. ASU 2011-04 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 ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Management does not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying financial statements had any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period

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 fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, the Company entered into agreements to sell up to $5,707,131 of its unused tax losses. The Company received net proceeds of $227,945, during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, related to the sale and accordingly recorded them as a tax benefit in the period received. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, the Company did not enter into such agreements and did not receive such tax benefits.

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, and net operating losses. The temporary differences causing deferred tax benefits are primarily due to net operating loss carry forwards.

At July 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has net operating loss carry forward for federal income tax purpose of approximately $30,341,000 and $29,218,000 respectively, which is available to offset future Federal taxable income through 2030. At July 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has net operating loss carryforward toward state income tax purposes of approximately $4,242,000 and $9,223,000 respectively, to offset future state taxable income through 2030.

The tax provision for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, was a tax benefit of $226,361 which consists of a tax benefit for the sale of NJ NOL’s of $227,945, New Jersey State tax refunds of $4,800 and New Jersey state tax expense of $6,384 and for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, was a tax expense of $3,792. The Company has no open tax years for the State of New Jersey or federal income tax purposes, which are subject to examination.

The components of the net deferred tax assets (liabilities) at July 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets and determines if a valuation allowance is necessary. As a result of this analysis the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be recovered and, accordingly, recorded 100% of the deferred tax asset to a valuation allowance as of July 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011.

The Company accounts for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10 (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). The Company evaluates these unrecognized tax benefits each reporting period. As of July 31, 2012, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $135,000. The unrecognized tax benefit is the result of the Company’s position to deduct the write off of the obsolete inventory for income tax purposes. The Company maintains some of its obsolete inventory utilization in repairing its products previously sold in accordance with the Company’s warranty program.

The Company, over the years, has discarded obsolete inventory; however, the company did not keep a detailed log of the inventory that was discarded. These inventory items were written down to zero in the Company’s inventory system as they were deemed to have no value and therefore the Company deducted the amounts on its income tax returns.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to United States federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. These uncertain tax positions are related to the Sale of the Company’s NJ NOL’s and are within the tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities.

It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease in the next twelve months. These changes may be the result of new state audits. The balance of the unrecognized tax benefits is primarily related to uncertain tax positions for which there are no current ongoing federal or state audits and therefore, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.
