Item 1. Description of Business

 

Preliminary Note

 

As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on December 12, 2003 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), SPEEDCOM Wireless Corporation (SPEEDCOM) sold substantially all of its assets and liabilities (Asset Sale) to P-Com, Inc. (P-Com). At the present time, SPEEDCOM has no operating business and SPEEDCOM’s management and Board of Directors are exploring opportunities to effect an acquisition of SPEEDCOM by merger, exchange or issuance of securities or similar business combination. The description of SPEEDCOM’s business set forth below provides a discussion of SPEEDCOM’s past business and is not meant to describe SPEEDCOM’s present operations or planned future operations.

 

Company Overview

 

SPEEDCOM is a Delaware corporation. Prior to the Asset Sale, SPEEDCOM manufactured, configured and delivered a variety of broadband fixed-wireless products, including its award winning SPEEDLAN family of wireless Ethernet bridges and routers. Internet service providers, telecommunications carriers and other service providers, and private organizations in the United States of America and more than 80 foreign countries worldwide, use SPEEDCOM’s products to provide broadband “last-mile” wireless connectivity in various point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations at speeds up to 155 Megabits per second and distances up to 25 miles.

 

SPEEDCOM operated in a single dominant operating segment, as that term is defined in Statements on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE.

 

SPEEDCOM sold its wireless broadband products in domestic and international markets through both an indirect channel of distributors, resellers and Original Equipment Manufacturers and a direct sales force. SPEEDCOM sold its products in over 80 countries, with international sales amounting to approximately 58% and 46% of SPEEDCOM’s total 2003 and 2002 revenues, respectively. The following table reflects revenues by geographic area:

 

Geographic Area


   2003

    2002

 

North America

   42 %   54 %

Africa

   8 %   14 %

Asia and the Pacific Rim

   17 %   11 %

Latin America

   5 %   8 %

European Union

   9 %   5 %

Other Foreign Areas

   19 %   8 %

 

Business Strategy

 

As discussed elsewhere in this report, because of the Asset Sale, SPEEDCOM has no operating business and SPEEDCOM’s management and Board of Directors have been focusing their efforts on exploring business combination opportunities. The Board has determined to maintain SPEEDCOM as a public “shell” corporation, which will seek suitable business combination opportunities. The Board believes that a business combination with an operating company has the potential to create a greater value for SPEEDCOM’s stockholders than a liquidation or similar distribution.

Products

 

SPEEDCOM offered a complete line of wireless broadband equipment. SPEEDCOM’s high performance wireless bridge/router systems connected existing enterprise local area networks for point-to-point and point-to- multi-point, campus area, or metropolitan area networks. Within the product line, SPEEDCOM offered eight SPEEDLAN products, which used unlicensed radio frequencies to communicate at 11 Megabits per second at distances up to 25 miles, and two licensed microwave products, which used licensed radio frequencies to communicate at 52 or 155 Megabits per second at distances up to ten miles.

 

SPEEDCOM’s research and development expenses during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $270,000 and $256,000 respectively.

 

Licensed Technology

 

In January 2001, SPEEDCOM acquired worldwide rights to PacketHop, a wireless routing software developed by SRI International (SRI) for aggregate consideration of $1,599,500. SRI received $360,000 in cash and a total of 325,000 shares of common stock of SPEEDCOM that was issued in four tranches. Prior to the Asset Sale, the $360,000 in cash and the value of the shares at the date of grant less amortization were classified in Intellectual property, net on the balance sheet, and were being amortized using the straight-line method over the six year term of the agreement.

 

In October 2003, SPEEDCOM acquired software from JDK Technology for $50,000, to be paid over time, which was an enhancement to the PacketHop technology. Prior to the Asset Sale, the value of the software was classified in Intellectual property, net on the balance sheet and was being amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the PacketHop technology.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales were generated through two primary means: direct sales to our larger strategic end customers and indirect sales through a distributor network consisting of telecommunications specialists who sold SPEEDCOM’s products to a local or regional customer base, as well as provided post installation service, if any.

 

SPEEDCOM recognized revenue for financial reporting purposes upon shipment of the products to the customer, including when a distributor was involved in the transaction. Customers could exchange or return merchandise within 30 days if the product was found to be non-functional upon delivery. SPEEDCOM accrued a provision for estimated returns, based upon its actual historical return experience, concurrent with revenue recognition. SPEEDCOM also derived revenue from extended maintenance agreements, for periods of one to three years. Revenue on extended maintenance agreements was deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

 

Customers

 

No customer accounted for more than 10% of SPEEDCOM’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2003 or 2002. In addition, no customer accounted for more than 10% of SPEEDCOM’s gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2002.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM did not have any employees. SPEEDCOM utilizes consultants to operate the “shell” business.

 

Item 2. Description of Property

 

As of December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM did not lease or own any property. SPEEDCOM is occupying space in P-Com’s facility through the transition period of the Asset Sale and for use by SPEEDCOM’s consultants.

Fiscal 2003 Compared to Fiscal 2002

 

On December 10, 2003, SPEEDCOM sold its operating assets and transferred substantially all of its operating liabilities to P-Com. Following this sale, SPEEDCOM is no longer in the business of manufacturing or selling broadband fixed wireless telecommunications equipment and has no operations. Accordingly, the following discussion and analysis of operations is not indicative of future operations or performance.

 

Net revenues decreased 43% from approximately $7,676,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately $4,381,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was largely due to price reductions by SPEEDCOM and the continuing depressed telecommunications market, resulting in unexpected delays in spending decisions by both potential and current customers during 2003 as compared to 2002. These factors, combined with the challenging economic environment in both the United States of America and overseas, contributed to disappointing results. Revenues from customers in foreign geographic areas increased to 58% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to 46% of revenues the year ended December 31, 2002.

Table of Contents

Cost of goods sold decreased 35% from approximately $4,502,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately $2,911,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, due to decreases in SPEEDCOM’s revenues. In addition, gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased seven percentage points from 41% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 34% for the year ended December 2003 as a result of price reductions by SPEEDCOM and lower cost absorption of fixed costs due to decreased revenue.

 

Salaries and related, general and administrative and selling expenses decreased by 22% from approximately $6,372,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately $4,962,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and related expenses of approximately $922,000 associated with decreased headcount (58 at December 31, 2002 decreased throughout the year to 0 at December 31, 2003) and a decrease in selling expenses of approximately of $314,000 primarily related to decreased commissions due to lower sales. Following the sale to P-Com, SPEEDCOM will continue to incur general and administrative costs at a much curtailed amount than incurred historically.

 

Provision for bad debt decreased 80% from approximately $420,000 during the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately $84,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2002, SPEEDCOM converted two of its leases receivable, recorded at approximately $1,290,000, into a new lease receivable with approximately $336,000, which was due and collected immediately, five payments of $50,000 due over a five-month period and a balloon payment of approximately $328,000 due in August 2002. As a result of this restructuring of the leases, SPEEDCOM recorded a provision for bad debt of approximately $395,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM recorded severance costs of $170,000 in accordance with the separation agreements between SPEEDCOM and its former Vice President of Marketing and Product Development, its former Vice President of Finance and Accounting and its former Director of International Sales. The costs include severance pay to be paid over future periods.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, SPEEDCOM recorded severance costs of approximately $630,000 in accordance with the separation agreements, as amended, between SPEEDCOM and its former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. The costs include severance pay and other employee benefits and the write off of notes receivable-related party.

 

Interest expense increased from approximately $396,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately $653,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was due to the addition of notes payable and loans from related parties during 2002 and 2003 of $5,523,000. Interest income decreased from approximately $64,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately $11,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of fewer leasing agreements.

 

In December 2003, SPEEDCOM completed the sale of all of its operating assets to P-Com in exchange for 63,500,000 shares of P-Com common stock and P-Com’s assumption of approximately $5,250,000 of liabilities. SPEEDCOM recorded a gain of approximately $12,260,000 in connection with this sale.

 

Other income (expense), net increased from approximately ($71,000) for the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately $238,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 primarily due to the conversion of approximately $1,072,000 of notes payable, due to related parties and accrued interest into 8,934,691 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock utilizing a conversion rate of $0.12, which was higher than the market price of SPEEDCOM’s common stock on the conversion dates. A portion of these gains, amounting to approximately $336,000 was recorded as a component of paid-in capital due to the related party nature.

 

Beginning August 23, 2003, SPEEDCOM’s preferred stockholders are entitled to dividends to be paid on conversion at the rate of 14% per year times the $3.38 ($4.50 if paid in stock) per share liquidation preference. The dividend that the preferred stockholders are entitled to for the year ending December 31, 2003 is

 

8


Table of Contents

approximately $861,000, assuming a stock payout. In February 2004, SPEEDCOM converted all of its 3,835,554 shares of preferred stock, dividends and registration penalty due to the preferred stockholders into 76,868,961 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock at a conversion rate of $0.12.

 

Net income (loss) per common share increased from approximately ($5,356,000), or ($0.47) per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2002 to approximately $6,590,000, or $0.42 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of the foregoing factors.

 

SPEEDCOM recorded an unrealized loss on its investment of $635,000 on 63,500,000 shares of P-Com stock based on the decline in market value from $0.15 per share on the date of the Asset Sale to $0.14 as of December 31, 2003.

 

Taxes

 

At December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) for federal income tax purposes of approximately $15,000,000. The NOLs expire at various dates through the year 2023. Utilization of SPEEDCOM’s net operating loss may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss before utilization.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

SPEEDCOM’s financial statements are prepared on a going-concern basis, which assumes that SPEEDCOM will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, SPEEDCOM’s cash flows for 2004 are currently projected to be insufficient to finance projected operations, without funding from other sources. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the ability of SPEEDCOM to continue as a going concern.

 

Management’s plans for this uncertainty include curtailing expenses and raising additional capital from external sources. Management may also liquidate some of the P-Com common stock, although a substantial portion of the P-Com common stock will be distributed to stockholders. In addition, management intends to use their best efforts to continue as a separate public entity and identify a merger candidate. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in these plans. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do no include any adjustments that may arise from the uncertainty surrounding SPEEDCOM’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM used approximately $2,736,000 of cash for operating activities. This was primarily due to SPEEDCOM’s operating loss that amounted to approximately $4,405,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 (approximately $4,953,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002). During January 2004, SPEEDCOM converted $1,720,140 of amounts due to related parties, certain accrued expenses, notes payable and certain accounts payable into 14,334,505 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock which will have a positive impact on cash flows during the first quarter of 2004. Cash used in investing activities amounted to approximately $177,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 (approximately $19,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002). Cash of approximately $127,000 was transferred to P-Com in connection with the Asset Sale. In addition, prior to the sale, SPEEDCOM had used approximately $60,000 to purchase equipment. SPEEDCOM does not have any commitments for capital expenditures or leasing commitments in the future.

 

SPEEDCOM received 63,500,000 shares of P-Com common stock in connection with the sale of the business. Such shares are carried on SPEEDCOM’s financial statements at fair value ($8,890,000 as of December 31, 2003). Management’s plans include the liquidation of a small portion of these shares to generate cash for operating purposes. Rather, the substantial amount of marketable securities is intended for distribution to SPEEDCOM’s stockholders.

Table of Contents

SPEEDCOM received approximately $2,566,000 from its financing activities primarily through proceeds from related party and third party loans. Substantially all amounts received from financing activities in 2003 have or will be settled by non-cash means.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, SPEEDCOM borrowed an aggregate $3,943,000 from institutional investors who are shareholders. The loans had an interest rate of 15% and were payable December 31, 2003 (the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2004 subsequent to issuance). In October 2003, $570,000 of these notes, plus accrued interest was converted into 5,601,358 shares of SPEECOM common stock. As part of the Asset Sale to P-Com, $3,000,000 of these notes was assumed by P-Com, leaving a balance due of $373,000, plus accrued interest. On December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM converted the $373,000, plus accrued interest of $623,092, into three new notes, totaling $996,092 utilizing the same terms as the previous $373,000 notes. Also during the year ended December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM borrowed $1,580,000 from P-Com. The loans had an interest rate of 10% for the first six months and 13% for the remainder of the term of the notes. These notes were due March 21, 2005 ($400,000), July 17, 2005 ($300,000), August 8, 2005 ($200,000), September 8, 2005 ($50,000), September 16, 2005 ($50,000), September 24, 2005 ($50,000), September 30, 2005 ($50,000), October 14, 2005 ($130,000), October 22, 2005 ($100,000), November 4, 2005 ($100,000), November 21, 2005 ($100,000) and December 5, 2005 ($50,000). These notes were convertible at $0.12 per common share. As part of the Asset Sale to P-Com, all but $400,000 of these notes and accrued interest was forgiven. In December 2003, P-Com exchanged the $400,000 of notes payable for 3,333,333 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, SPEEDCOM used approximately $2,368,000 of cash for operating activities. This was primarily due to SPEEDCOM’s net loss for the period and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses partially offset by decreased accounts receivable and leases receivable. SPEEDCOM purchased approximately $26,000 of fixed assets during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to approximately $493,000 during the same period in 2001. SPEEDCOM received approximately $2,459,000 from its financing activities primarily through proceeds from stockholder loans, partially offset by net payments on factored accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2002, SPEEDCOM had cash of approximately $346,000.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what we anticipate and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change our reported results. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to us, in that they are important to the portrayal of our financial statements and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Valuation of Marketable Securities: We value our investment in P-Com common stock in accordance with SFAS No. 105, DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK. We record all investments at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value. Where available, we use prices from independent sources such as listed market prices or broker or dealer price quotations. For investments in illiquid and privately held securities that do not have readily determinable fair values, we estimate the value of the securities based on available information. However, even where the value of a security is derived from an independent market price or broker or dealer quote, some assumptions may be required to determine the fair value. For example, we generally assume that the size of positions in securities that we hold would not be large enough to affect the quoted price of the securities when sold, and that any such sale would happen in an orderly manner. However, these assumptions may be incorrect and the actual value realized on sale could differ from the current carrying value.

Table of Contents

We evaluate our investments for other-than-temporary decline in value on a periodic basis. This may exist when the fair value of an investment security has been below the current value for an extended period of time. As most of our investments are carried at fair value, if an other-than-temporary decline in value is determined to exist, the unrealized investment loss recorded net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income is realized as a charge to net income (loss), in the period in which the other-than-temporary decline in value is determined. While we believe that we have accurately estimated the amount of other-than-temporary decline in value in our portfolio, different assumptions could result in changes to the recorded amounts in our financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition: We recognized revenue on our wireless communications products in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Under these guidelines, we deferred revenue recognition on transactions if any of the following existed: persuasive evidence of an arrangement did not exist, title had not transferred, product payment was contingent upon performance of installation or service obligations, the price was not fixed or determinable, or payment was not reasonably assured. We accrued a provision for estimated returns concurrent with revenue recognition. In addition, we deferred revenue associated with long-term customer maintenance contracts. The value of these contracts was recognized on a straight-line basis over the length of the customer contract.

 

Commitments and Off Balance Sheet Instruments

 

Rent expense under operating leases, amounted to approximately $639,000 and $802,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. SPEEDCOM does not have any future noncancellable lease payments under operating leases. All of SPEEDCOM’s leases were assumed by P-Com per the Asset Sale.

 

During 2002 and 2003, SPEEDCOM entered into several payment plan agreements with vendors that set up monthly commitments by SPEEDCOM to pay off balances that were past due. The majority of these payment plan agreements were assumed by P-Com. SPEEDCOM’s terms with most of its vendors are net 30. SPEEDCOM and P-Com are currently engaged in legal proceedings related to some of the defaults discussed above. None of these proceedings are expected to have a material effect on SPEEDCOM’s business.

 

In addition, as of December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM was in default on two severance agreements entered into during 2000. During January 2004, SPEEDCOM issued shares of common stock in satisfaction of both of these severance agreements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 149, AMENDMENT OF STATEMENT 133 ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. The statement amends and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. This statement is designed to improve financial reporting such that contracts with comparable characteristics are accounted for similarly. The statement, which is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, is not anticipated to have a significant effect on SPEEDCOM’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The statement is not anticipated to have a significant effect on SPEEDCOM’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (REVISED), CONSOLIDATION OF VALUABLE INTEREST ENTITIES. This interpretation clarifies rules relating to consolidation where entities are controlled by means other than a majority voting interest and instances in which equity investors do not bear

the residual economic risks. SPEEDCOM currently has no ownership in variable interest entities and therefore adoption of this standard currently has no financial reporting implications.

 

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results, Financial Condition and Market Price of Securities

 

Our common stock price is volatile.

 

Our common stock and the stock market in general have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in recent years, and the market prices of technology companies have been highly volatile. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. If such litigation were initiated against SPEEDCOM, that could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention.

 

We are obligated to issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock upon conversion of preferred stock and exercise of warrants that are outstanding.

 

If the holders of our preferred stock and warrants elect to convert their preferred stock or exercise their warrants in order to sell the underlying shares of common stock, it will substantially increase the number of shares of our common stock outstanding. The exercise or conversion of a substantial number of SPEEDCOM’s convertible securities may depress the market price of the common stock and will decrease the relative voting power of existing common stockholders. Should a significant number of SPEEDCOM’s convertible securities be exercised or converted, the resulting increase in the amount of our common stock in the public market could have a substantial dilutive effect on SPEEDCOM’s outstanding common stock. Public resales of our common stock following the exercise or conversion of the securities may depress the prevailing market price of our common stock.

 

Under the anti-dilution provisions of our preferred stock, if SPEEDCOM issues common stock or common stock equivalents at a purchase price, conversion price, or warrant or option exercise price that is less than the lesser of the current preferred stock conversion price of $1.125 per share or the current market price, the conversion price of the preferred stock will be reduced using a customary weighted average basis formula. Under the anti-dilution provisions of 7,160,810 warrants (as adjusted) issued in August 2001, (1) the exercise price will be lowered to equal the purchase price, conversion price, or warrant or option exercise price for any common stock or common stock equivalent issued (other than to employees) at a purchase price, conversion price, or warrant or option exercise price less than the current per share exercise price of the applicable warrants ($0.12 in the case of Series A Warrants), and (2) the number of warrants will be increased by the same percentage as the percentage by which the exercise price is reduced. Alternatively, (1) the exercise price will be reduced by the percentage by which the purchase price, conversion price, or warrant or option exercise price of any issued security (others than to employees) is less than the current market price of the common stock, and (2) the number of warrants will be increased by the same percentage as the percentage by which the exercise price is reduced, if this formula results in a lower exercise price than the adjustment described in the preceding sentence. Similar anti-dilution provisions apply to outstanding warrants to acquire 1,002,026 shares of our common stock (as adjusted) at an exercise price of $0.12 per share.

 

Our concentrated ownership structure means that our controlling stockholders could control the outcome of any stockholder vote.

 

If the holders of our preferred stock elect to convert their preferred stock and exercise their warrants to shares of common stock, it will decrease the relative voting power of existing common stockholders and the preferred stockholders will control a majority of our common stock. In such event, the former preferred stockholders, in their capacity as common stockholders, would be in a position to control our company. Therefore, certain corporate actions, which the Board of Directors may deem advisable for the stockholders of SPEEDCOM as a whole, may not be approved by the common stockholders if submitted to a vote, unless the former preferred stock holders, in their capacity as common stockholders, approve the action.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

Board of Directors

SPEEDCOM Wireless Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SPEEDCOM Wireless Corporation as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SPEEDCOM Wireless Corporation at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that SPEEDCOM Wireless Corporation will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to these conditions are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SPEEDCOM WIRELESS CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

1. Business

 

SPEEDCOM was incorporated in Florida on March 16, 1994 and reincorporated in Delaware on September 26, 2000. Prior to the sale discussed in Note 2 below, SPEEDCOM manufactured, configured and delivered custom broadband wireless networking equipment, including the SPEEDLAN family of wireless Ethernet bridges and routers, for business and residential customers internationally. Subsequent to the sale, SPEEDCOM is a non-operating public shell company.

 

2. P-Com Transaction and Management’s Plans

 

On December 10, 2003, SPEEDCOM sold its operating assets (having a historical cost of approximately $2,590,000) and transferred substantially all of its operating liabilities (having a carrying value of approximately $5,250,000) to P-Com in exchange for 63,500,000 shares of P-Com common stock, having a market value of $9,525,000 on the date the transaction was closed, plus a note receivable of $75,000. Prior to the sale, P-Com had advanced $1,580,000 in cash to SPEEDCOM of which $1,180,000 was included in the gain on sale and $400,000 was converted into 3,333,333 shares of SPEEDCOM’s common stock. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $12,260,000 that was recognized in the period of sale. Following the sale, SPEEDCOM has no operations and it’s only significant remaining asset is the investment in P-Com common stock, which approximates 17% of P-Com’s total outstanding voting securities.

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on a going-concern basis, which assumes that SPEEDCOM will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, SPEEDCOM’s cash flows for 2004 are currently projected to be insufficient to finance projected operations, without funding from other sources. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the ability of SPEEDCOM to continue as a going concern.

 

Management’s plans for this uncertainty include curtailing expenses and raising additional capital from external sources. Management may also liquidate some of the P-Com common stock, although a substantial portion of the P-Com common stock will be distributed to stockholders. In addition, management intends to use their best efforts to continue as a separate public entity and identify a merger candidate. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in these plans. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do no include any adjustments that may arise from the uncertainty surrounding SPEEDCOM’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

SPEEDCOM derived its revenue from short-term (generally two to four weeks in duration) arrangements with customers to configure, assemble, and deliver wireless communications products. SPEEDCOM recognized revenue upon shipment of the products to the customer. Customers could exchange or return merchandise within 30 days if the product is found to be non-functional upon delivery. SPEEDCOM accrued a provision for estimated returns, based upon its actual historical return experience, concurrent with revenue recognition. SPEEDCOM also derived revenue from extended maintenance agreements, for periods of one to three years. Revenue on extended maintenance agreements was deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Shipping costs billed to customers were included in revenue; the related shipping costs were included in cost of goods sold.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

Concentrations

 

Credit Risk: Financial instruments that are exposed to credit risk, as defined by SFAS No. 107, DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, consisted principally of accounts receivable and leases receivable. These accounts were highly concentrated among foreign companies and companies in the telecommunications sector. Credit was extended to these customers based on management’s evaluation of the individual customer’s financial condition and generally collateral was not required. SPEEDCOM generally required prepayments or letters of credit from foreign customers to facilitate currency exchange and minimize credit risk.

 

Customers: No customer accounted for more than 10% of SPEEDCOM’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2003 or 2002. In addition, no customer accounted for more than 10% of SPEEDCOM’s gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2002. One customer accounted for 97% of SPEEDCOM’s lease receivable as of December 31, 2002.

 

Suppliers: Many of the key hardware and software components necessary for the assembly of SPEEDCOM’s products were only available from a single supplier or from a limited number of suppliers. SPEEDCOM had experienced delays and shortages in the supply of components in the past. SPEEDCOM generally did not maintain a significant inventory of components and did not have many long-term supply contracts with its suppliers.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

SPEEDCOM recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that SPEEDCOM believed to be uncollectible. SPEEDCOM also recorded additional allowance based on certain percentages of our aged receivables, which were determined based on historical experience and management’s assessment of the general financial conditions affecting SPEEDCOM’s customer base. SPEEDCOM had a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipated change in one of those customer’s credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectibility of amounts due from such customers, could have a material affect on SPEEDCOM’s results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable was written off against the allowance.

 

Marketable Securities

 

SPEEDCOM accounts for marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115 ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES. SPEEDCOM determines the proper classification of all marketable securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. Marketable securities at December 31, 2003 consist of 63,500,000 shares of common stock of P-Com that were classified on that date as available-for-sale, and as a result were reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories at December 31, 2002 consisted of telecommunications equipment and related component parts and finished assemblies ready for assembly and delivery. Inventories were recorded at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Labor and overhead costs related to assemblies in process were included in the cost of finished assemblies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

Property And Equipment

 

Property and equipment at December 31, 2002 were stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization were calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets ranging from two to five years. Leasehold improvements were amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the term of the related lease agreement. Repairs and maintenance, which amounted to approximately $18,000 and $43,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were charged to expense as incurred. SPEEDCOM has no material commitments or plans for capital additions or improvements.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Intellectual property at December 31, 2002 was stated at cost. Amortization was calculated using the straight-line method over the six-year term of the underlying contractual agreement, which was less than the estimated useful life of the technology.

 

Impairments of Long-lived Assets

 

SPEEDCOM reviewed long-lived assets to be held and used, consisting of property and equipment and intellectual property, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated the asset may be impaired. In the event that the impairment indicators, including market or industry conditions or financial conditions, were identified, SPEEDCOM determined whether impairments were present by comparing the net book value of long-lived assets to projected undiscounted cash flows at the lowest discernable level for which cash flow information can be projected. In the event that undiscounted cash flows were insufficient to recover the net carrying value over the remaining useful lives, impairment charges were calculated and recorded in the period first estimable using discounted cash flows or other fair value information. During the periods presented, there were no material impairment charges.

 

Financial Instruments

 

SPEEDCOM’s significant financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, investment in marketable securities, accounts payable and notes payable. SPEEDCOM believes that the carrying values of financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their respective fair values.

 

Income Taxes

 

SPEEDCOM follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, deferred income taxes are recorded based upon differences between the 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 affect taxable income. Valuation allowances against the carrying value of net deferred tax assets are recorded when management determines that recoverability of such amounts is not reasonably assured.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Under SFAS 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (SFAS 130), SPEEDCOM is required to display comprehensive income and its components as part of our financial statements. The measurement and presentation of net income did not change. Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes certain changes in equity of SPEEDCOM that are

 

20


Table of Contents

SPEEDCOM WIRELESS CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

excluded from net income. Specifically, SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains and losses on SPEEDCOM’s available for sale investments, that were reported in stockholder’s equity, to be included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

SPEEDCOM accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related interpretations. Accordingly, in cases where exercise prices for stock option grants equal or exceed the trading market value of the stock at the date of grant, SPEEDCOM recognizes no compensation expense. In cases where exercise prices are less than the fair value of the stock at the date of grant, compensation is recognized over the period of performance or the vesting period. SPEEDCOM accounts for non-employee stock-based compensation using the trading market price for common stock and the Black-Scholes valuation model for stock options and warrants, in accordance with SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (SFAS No. 123).

 

The following table reflects supplemental financial information related to stock-based employee compensation, as required by SFAS No. 148, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE.

Advertising Costs

 

SPEEDCOM’s policy was to expense advertising costs as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, SPEEDCOM incurred approximately $56,000 and $72,000, respectively, in advertising expenses. Such amounts are included in selling expenses.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

SPEEDCOM’s policy was to expense all research and development expenses as incurred. Research and development expenses during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 totaled approximately $270,000 and $256,000, respectively. Such amounts are included in general and administrative expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

SPEEDCOM has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents. No dilutive common stock equivalents existed in any year presented.

 

Unexercised convertible debt to purchase 35,556 shares of common stock at December 31, 2002, was not included in the computations of diluted loss per share because the assumed conversion would have been antidilutive at that time.

 

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2002 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 financial statement presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, AMENDMENT OF STATEMENT 133 ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. The statement amends and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. This statement is designed to improve financial reporting such that contracts with comparable characteristics are accounted for similarly. The statement, which is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, is not anticipated to have a significant effect on SPEEDCOM’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The statement is not anticipated to have a significant effect on SPEEDCOM’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (REVISED), CONSOLIDATION OF VALUABLE INTEREST ENTITIES. This interpretation clarifies rules relating to consolidation where entities are controlled by means other than a majority voting interest and instances in which equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks. SPEEDCOM currently has no ownership in variable interest entities and therefore adoption of this standard currently has no financial reporting implications.

9. Related Party Transactions

 

Due to Related Parties

 

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, SPEEDCOM borrowed an aggregate $2,928,000 and $1,015,000, respectively under secured promissory notes from institutional investors who are shareholders. All tangible and intangible assets of SPEEDCOM secured the notes. The notes bear an interest rate of 15% and were payable December 31, 2003. Prepayment is permitted under the secured promissory notes with a 50% premium on the outstanding principal amount. In October 2003, SPEEDCOM converted $570,000 of the notes payable that were due December 31, 2003, plus accrued interest of $102,163, into 5,601,358 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock, which resulted in a gain of approximately $336,000. Due to the related party nature of this exchange, the gain was recorded as a component of paid-in capital in the accompanying financial statements. As part of the Asset Sale described in Note 2, P-Com assumed an additional $3,000,000 of these promissory notes. In December 2003, the maturity of the remaining $373,000 of debt was extended to June 30, 2004. On December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM converted the $373,000, plus accrued interest of $623,092, into three new notes, totaling $996,092 utilizing the same terms as the previous $373,000 notes. In January 2004, SPEEDCOM converted the remaining $996,092 into 8,300,768 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock resulting in a gain of approximately $664,000. The gain will be recorded in the period of exchange.

 

As a stipulation of the preferred stock financing received in August 2001, SPEEDCOM was required to file and obtain SEC acceptance of a registration statement within a specified period of time or incur penalties. As a

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

result of obtaining acceptance from the SEC nineteen days late, SPEEDCOM incurred a penalty of $163,970, payable to the preferred stockholders. The penalty was accrued during 2001 and is included in due to related parties at December 31, 2003 and 2002. In February 2004, SPEEDCOM converted all of its 3,835,554 shares of preferred stock, dividends and registration penalty due to the preferred stockholders into 76,868,961 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock.

 

In January 2002, SPEEDCOM entered into a financial relations and consultant contract whereby the consulting firm will receive a $10,000 convertible note each month. This contract was cancelled in May 2002. The notes are convertible at any time at $1.125 per common share. As of December 31, 2003, the note holder possesses rights to convert the notes to 35,556 shares of restricted common stock. SPEEDCOM’s Chief Financial Officer is the Managing Director of the consulting firm. During January 2004, SPEEDCOM converted the $40,000 convertible note, plus $75,000 of trade payables due to the consulting firm, into 958,333 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock. SPEEDCOM recorded a gain of approximately $77,000 in connection with this conversion, which will be recorded in the period of the exchange. In addition, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, SPEEDCOM has recorded an assumed dividend of approximately $211,000 in the period of the exchange which equals the increase in the intrinsic value of the convertible note based on the incremental number of shares of common stock (297,778) that may be obtained on conversion of the convertible note into common stock valued at the price per share ($0.71) on January 25, 2002, the original date of the note.

 

As of December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM had accrued severance expense and related interest of $248,539 outstanding related to the separation agreements between SPEEDCOM and its former President and Chief Financial Officer. In January 2004, SPEEDCOM converted $204,999 of accrued severance costs and $43,540 of accrued interest into 2,086,075 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock. The shares were valued at the date of issuance using SPEEDCOM’s trading market price, which resulted in a gain of approximately $155,000. The gain will be recorded in the period of the exchange.

 

Related Party Interest Expense

 

Interest expense recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 related to related party notes, loans and other balances amounted to approximately $518,000 and $212,000, respectively.

In January 2004, SPEEDCOM converted the remaining $12,177 of promissory notes into 101,475 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock, which resulted in a gain of approximately $8,000. The gain will be recorded in the period of exchange.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

During the year ended December 31, 2003, SPEEDCOM borrowed an aggregate of $1,580,000 from P-Com. The loans had an interest rate of 10% for the first six months and 13% for the remainder of the term of the notes. These notes were due March 21, 2005 ($400,000), July 17, 2005 ($300,000), August 8, 2005 ($200,000), September 8, 2005 ($50,000), September 16, 2005 ($50,000), September 24, 2005 ($50,000), September 30, 2005 ($50,000), October 14, 2005 ($130,000), October 22, 2005 ($100,000), November 4, 2005 ($100,000), November 21, 2005 ($100,000) and December 5, 2005 ($50,000). These notes were convertible at $0.12 per common share. As part of the Asset Sale to P-Com, all but $400,000 of these notes and accrued interest was forgiven and included in the gain on the sale to P-Com. In December 2003, P-Com converted the $400,000 of notes payable into 3,333,333 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock, which resulted in a gain of approximately $267,000.

 

11. Income Taxes

 

SPEEDCOM utilized net tax operating loss carry forwards to offset regular Federal and State taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2003. The net tax asset associated with the net operating loss carry forwards had been fully reserved in previous reporting periods and, accordingly, there are no income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2003. For purposes of Federal Alternative Minimum Taxes (AMT), the utilization of AMT net operating loss carry forwards is generally limited to ninety percent of AMT taxable income. However, at the time of filing, SPEEDCOM intends to qualify the sale to P-Com as a tax-free reorganization under Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(C). Certain future actions by management may disqualify SPEEDCOM’s ability to effect this exemption. If any such disqualifying actions are taken in future reporting periods, it is reasonably possible that SPEEDCOM may incur an AMT of approximately $130,000.

 

Deferred tax benefit of approximately $2,008,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, was fully offset by the increase in the valuation allowance, since realization of those benefits is not assured and does not meet the standards for recognition. Deferred tax benefits included the benefits of net operating losses of approximately $1,717,000 during the year ended December 31, 2002. SPEEDCOM utilized a portion of its available net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income arising in 2003 from the sale described in Note 2.

 

A reconciliation of the differences between the effective income tax rate and the statutory federal tax rate follows:

 

     2003

    2002

 

Tax expense (benefit) at U.S. statutory rate

   34.00 %   (35.00 )%

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require a valuation allowance be recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, management has determined that a valuation allowance is necessary at December 31, 2003 and 2002 to fully offset the deferred tax asset.

 

At December 31, 2003, net operating losses available to be carried forward for federal income tax purposes are approximately $15,000,000 expiring in various amounts from 2014 through 2023. Utilization of SPEEDCOM’s net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss before utilization.

In June 2002, SPEECOM issued stock options to its former Chief Executive Officer for the purchase of 500,000 common shares at $0.20 per share in connection with the Officer’s separation agreement that also provided for on-going consulting services. The stock options had an original term of 40 months. SPEEDCOM accounted for this transaction as an issuance of options to a non-employee and, accordingly, recognized severance costs for the fair value of the options, amounting to $29,850 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model during the year ended December 31, 2002. These options were cancelled in November 2002 as a result of a restructuring of the separation agreement.

 

These matters relate to common stock issuances and common stock warrant activity during the year ended December 31, 2003:

 

Effective with the issuance of the convertible notes to P-Com discussed in Note 10, the conversion prices of SPEEDCOM’s warrants that expire August 23, 2006 and June 11, 2006 was decreased to $0.12, resulting in common shares of 8,162,836 issuable under these securities, if currently converted or exercised.

 

In October 2003, SPEEDCOM converted $570,000 of notes payable that were due December 31, 2003, plus accrued interest of $102,163, into 5,601,358 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock utilizing a conversion rate of $0.12. SPEEDCOM recorded a gain on this conversion of approximately $336,000.

 

In December 2003, SPEEDCOM converted $400,000 of notes payable due to P-Com, into 3,333,333 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock utilizing a conversion rate of $0.12. SPEEDCOM recorded a gain on this conversion of approximately $267,000.

 

These matters relate to common stock issuances and common stock warrant activity during the year ended December 31, 2002:

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, 4,560,481 Series B Warrants were exercised for 3,849,957 shares of common stock, which was net of certain cashless exercises.

 

In January 2002, 459,219 shares of common stock were issued to three investors pursuant to a repricing provision that applied to 83,000 shares of common stock issued on and under an agreement dated October 30, 2000. The original shares were issued for a price of $7.35 per share, or a total of $610,050. The additional shares issued on the repricing date of January 16, 2002 were calculated based on a reset price, which is the weighted average closing price of SPEEDCOM common stock for the first ten trading days of January 2002; provided that the reset price was not less than $1.1251 or more than $1.19. Because the average price of SPEEDCOM’s common stock during the first ten trading days of 2002 was below the $1.1251 reset floor, the total number of shares, as adjusted after repricing, was determined by dividing $610,050 by such floor.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

As discussed under employee stock-based compensation, below, SPEEDCOM issued 59,375 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of 65,000 employee stock options.

 

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

 

In February 2002, SPEEDCOM issued stock options to employees for the purchase of 780,300 common shares at $0.60 per share. SPEEDCOM recorded $67,500 in stock-based compensation expense in relation to these options during the year ended December 31, 2002. These options vest in full one year from the issuance. These options also vest upon a change of control transaction with the ability to exercise the options for up to one year after vesting. Upon a change of control and if the one-year performance period has not expired, the employee may surrender the performance options for cash payment at the calculated change of control common share transaction value for payment within 30 days by the surviving company.

 

In 2002, 65,000 $0.01 employee stock options were exercised for 59,375 shares of common stock.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, SPEEDCOM had 3,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under employee incentive stock bonus, purchase or option plans. One plan, initiated in July 1998, reserved 2,000,000 shares, and another plan, initiated in September 2000, reserved 1,000,000 shares. Additional options of 874,892 are outstanding outside these two plans to former executive officers. All full time employees were eligible for both plans. Plan options have a term of 5 years and vest 25% annually on the employee’s anniversary date over a four-year period. As of December 31, 2003 there were 2,713,000 shares unissued under both plans.

 

Employee stock option activity was as follows during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002:

The weighted average exercise price of the options granted during 2002 is $0.44. The range of exercise prices of outstanding options is $0.15 through $4.25. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 is 2.8 and 2.5 years, respectively.

 

Pro forma information regarding SPEEDCOM’s stock option grants is presented in Note 3. The fair market value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value, the following assumptions were made: the expected dividend payment rate used was zero, the expected option life used was five years, the volatility used was 1.26 and the risk free interest rate was assumed to be 2.96%. Because the options have a four-year vesting period, the pro forma effect shown is not reflective of the reported net earnings or losses in future years.

 

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period.

Antidilution Provisions

 

Under the anti-dilution provisions of our preferred stock, if SPEEDCOM issues common stock or common stock equivalents at a purchase price, conversion price, or warrant or option exercise price that is less than the lesser of the current preferred stock conversion price of $1.125 per share or the current market price, the conversion price of the preferred stock will be reduced using a customary weighted average basis formula. In February 2004, SPEEDCOM converted all of its 3,835,554 shares of preferred stock, dividends and registration penalty due to the preferred stockholders into 76,868,961 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock.

 

Under the anti-dilution provisions of 7,160,810 (as adjusted) warrants issued in August 2001, (1) the exercise price will be lowered to equal the purchase price, conversion price, or warrant or option exercise price for any common stock or common stock equivalent issued (other than to employees) at a purchase price, conversion price, or warrant or option exercise price less than the current per share exercise price of the applicable warrants ($0.12 in the case of Series A Warrants), and (2) the number of warrants will be increased by the same percentage as the percentage by which the exercise price is reduced. Alternatively, (1) the exercise price will be reduced by the percentage by which the purchase price, conversion price, or warrant or option exercise price of any issued security (others than to employees) is less than the current market price of the common stock, and (2) the number of warrants will be increased by the same percentage as the percentage by which the exercise price is reduced, if this formula results in a lower exercise price than the adjustment described in the preceding sentence. Similar anti-dilution provisions apply to outstanding warrants to acquire 1,002,026 shares of our common stock (as adjusted) at an exercise price of $0.12 per share.

 

Dividend Arrearages

 

Beginning August 23, 2003, SPEEDCOM’s preferred stockholders are entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of 14% per year times the $3.38 ($4.50 if paid in stock) per share liquidation preference. The cumulative, undeclared dividend in arrearage that the preferred stockholders are entitled to as of December 31, 2003 is $860,635, assuming a stock payout. No record date has been established for the dividend by SPEEDCOM’s Board of Directors. In February 2004, SPEEDCOM converted all of its 3,835,554 shares of preferred stock, dividends and registration penalty due to the preferred stockholders into 76,868,961 shares of SPEEDCOM common stock.

 

13. Leases

SPEEDCOM does not have any future noncancellable lease payments under operating leases.

 

All of SPEEDCOM’s leases were assumed by P-Com per the Asset Sale.

 

14. Employee Benefit Plan

 

SPEEDCOM had established a 401(k) profit-sharing plan, which was terminated effective November 15, 2003. Employees 21 years or older were eligible to participate in the plan. Participants could elect to contribute, on a tax-deferred basis, up to the legal maximum of their compensation. SPEEDCOM contributed 25% matching after an employee had been with SPEEDCOM for 90 days. SPEEDCOM’s contributions to the plan were approximately $24,000 and $29,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
