NIGHTHAWK SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30,  2007 AND 2006

                                   


1.  ORGANIZATION, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS


INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Nighthawk Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position at June 30, 2007, and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote data necessary for fair presentation of financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is therefore suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily an indication of operating results for the full year.


ORGANIZATION


The  Company designs and manufactures intelligent wireless  power  control  products  that  enable  simultaneous  activation  or de-activation  of  multiple  assets  or systems on demand. Nighthawk's installed customer base includes major electric utilities, internet service providers and fire departments in over 40 states.


The consolidated financial statements of the Company also include its non-operating subsidiary, Peregrine Control Technologies, Inc.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


GOING  CONCERN AND  MANAGEMENT'S  PLANS


The  Company  incurred  a net loss of approximately $1.7 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2007  and  had  a working capital deficiency of approximately $2.5 million and a stockholders' deficit of approximately  $2.1  million  as  of  June 30, 2007. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on the success of management’s plans to overcome these conditions and ultimately achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations  Although  no  assurance  can  be  given  that  such  plans  will be successfully implemented,  management's  plans  to  address  these  concerns  include:


-  Raising working capital through additional borrowings.

-  Raising  equity  funding  through  sales  of  the  Company's common  stock.

-  Implementation of the Company’s sales and marketing plans.


In 2004, the Company signed an investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities, II, L.P.  ("Dutchess")  under which Dutchess agreed to purchase up to $10.0 million  in common stock from the Company, at the Company's discretion, subject to certain limitations including the Company's current  trading  volume (Note 3).  Although  the  amount  and  timing  of  specific cash infusions  available  under the Dutchess financing arrangement cannot be predicted with  certainty, the arrangement represents a contractual commitment by Dutchess to  provide  funds  to  the  Company.  Since  entering into the arrangement with Dutchess,  the  Company  has  received approximately $5.0 million from Dutchess, which has been used to cover  the Company’s  operating  cash  flow  deficits .  The investment agreement, unless extended by mutual agreement, is scheduled to expire in December 2007.  Although no assurance may be given that it will be able to do so, the Company expects to be able to continue to access funds under this arrangement through December 2007.


The  accompanying  financial statements do not include any adjustments relating  to  the  recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts of liabilities  that  might  be  necessary  should  the  Company be unsuccessful in implementing these plans, or otherwise be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


CONCENTRATIONS


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. Receivables arising from sales to customers are not collateralized and, as a result, management continually monitors the financial condition and its relationships with its customers to reduce the risk of loss.  The maximum loss that might be sustained if customer receivables are not collected is limited to the carrying amount of the accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Approximately $136,170  of the June 30, 2007 balance, or 59%, was from two customers, $56,318 of which was collected subsequent to June 30, 2007.


During the three months ended June 30, 2007, three customers accounted for approximately 24%, 16% and 13% of total revenue, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2007, four customers accounted for approximately 19%, 15%, 11% and 10% of total revenue, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30, 2006 , two customers accounted for approximately 23%, and 11% of total revenue, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2006, two customers accounted for approximately 15% and 13% of total revenue, respectively.


During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company's four largest suppliers accounted for approximately 33%, 26%, 13% and 11% respectively, of the Company's purchases of pre-manufactured component materials, and during the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s three largest suppliers accounted for approximately 40%, 23% and 13% of the Company’s purchases of pre-manufactured component materials.  During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company's two largest suppliers accounted for approximately 46% and 20%, respectively, of the Company's purchases of pre-manufactured component materials, and during the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s three largest suppliers accounted for approximately 49%, 16% and 16% of the Company’s purchases of pre-manufactured component materials.  As  the pre-manufactured components are a crucial integral component of  the  Company's  product,  the  loss  of  one  or more of the Company's major suppliers  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  the Company's ability to maintain production of its products on a cost effective basis in the future.


NET LOSS PER SHARE


Basic  net  loss  per  share  is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common  stockholders  by  the  weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding  for  the  year.  Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company, unless the effect of such inclusion would reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. For each of the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements, the effect of the inclusion of dilutive shares would have resulted in a decrease in loss per share. Common stock options and warrants aggregating 19,741,666 and 6,790,006 as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of loss per common share.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT


In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 is a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. If an income tax position exceeds a more likely than not (greater than 50%) probability of success upon tax audit, the company will recognize an income tax benefit in its financial statements. Additionally, companies are required to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax exposures consistent with jurisdictional tax laws. The Company adopted FIN 48 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007.  The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on The Company’s financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state of Colorado jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to tax examinations for years before 2004, and management does not believe there will be any material changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized by the Company during the quarter related to



8



unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses and is offset somewhat by state tax credits.  


3.  NOTES  PAYABLE


At June 30, 2007, notes payable consist of the following:


Convertible notes payable to Dutchess; substantially all notes at 10% interest; maturing between December 2009 and  October 2011; net of discount of $1,032,458

1,805,720 

Other:

 

 

Note payable; unsecured; interest at prime rate plus 5.5% (13.99% at June 30, 2007); due on demand

8,906 

Note payable; unsecured; interest at 17.65%, revolving

 

628 

Convertible notes payable to stockholder, interest at 8%, in default and due on demand,

collateralized by all assets of the Company(1)

 

175,000 

Note payable to Dutchess, collateralized by accounts receivable, interest at 3%, due July 31, 2007 (2)

 

170,000 

Unsecured note with a financial institution, 18.24% interest rate, interest and principal due monthly through November 2008

 

8,240 

 

362,774 



(1) In January 2007, the Company paid $150,000 to the stockholder to reduce the amount outstanding on one of the notes. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the stockholder converted $50,000 into 555,556 shares of common stock of the Company, and agreed to extend the maturity dates of the notes.  As of the date of this report, the Company is still in discussions with the stockholder in an effort to determine the new maturity dates.


(2) During June 2007, the Company received $170,000 from Dutchess in exchange for a $170,000 promissory note.  The Company expensed $10,000 in legal costs associated with this transaction to Dutchess.  The note was collateralized by approximately $191,000 in accounts receivable, and was paid in full by the Company in August 2007.  


All of the convertible notes payable to Dutchess at June 30, 2007, contain a clause calling for an early redemption penalty of 20%. In addition, although Dutchess has not provided any indication it will do so, each of the convertible debenture agreements contain a provision under which Dutchess may request the Company to make amortizing payments on a monthly basis in an amount to be determined by the Company and Dutchess.  As such, the total amount of debentures outstanding is classified as a current liability.  The total amount of discount amortized to interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $342,023 and $199,600, respectively ($63,957 and $46,331 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively).  


In June 2007, the Company entered into a $500,000, 10%, unsecured convertible debenture with Dutchess which is due in June 2012.  The Company paid $40,000 to Dutchess in legal and administrative costs associated with the issuance of the note, the total of which is being amortized over the term of the note.  The note is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at 70% of the market price of the company’s common stock on the date of conversion.  The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $214,286 related to this debenture.  Along with the debenture, the Company issed a five-year warrant, valued at $100,000 based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model, to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share.  


During the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $430,620 of debentures were converted into 11,961,655 shares of the Company’s common stock. Total interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2007 related to the Dutchess debentures, which included amortization of the discount and $80,998 of early redemption penalties was $640,945, which represented an effective interest rate of 58%.  Total interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to the Dutchess debentures, which included amortization of the discount and $36,250 of early redemption penalties was $748,842, which represented an effective interest rate of 80%.




9



Subsequent to June 30, 2007, Dutchess converted an additional $164,000 of debentures into 4,555,556 shares of the Company’s common stock.

During  the  six months ended  June 30,  2007,  the Company issued Dutchess 3,661,529 shares of common stock in exchange for cash of $251,261 and 5,985,505 shares of common stock in order to reduce the amount of convertible debt and accrued interest owed to them by $398,373.  The Company accrued $32,482 in commissions related to these transactions.  Dutchess also converted $430,620 of a convertible debenture into 11,961,655 shares of common stock during the period.


STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


No options were granted during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007.  The estimated fair value of options granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2007, as well as during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, were calculated using the following estimated weighted average assumptions:

Most of the employee options vest over three years, which is considered to be the requisite service period.  Stock options issued in exchange for consultant services vest over the period defined in the contract.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2007, two employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, were granted a total of 3,500,000 options, one third of which vested immediately, one third of which vested on June 30, 2007 and one third of which vest on December 31, 2007.  The Company’s board member was also awarded 500,000 options, half of which vested immediately, and half of which vest in January 2008.     


The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered option.


The Company currently expects, based on an analysis of historical forfeitures as of December 31, 2006, that approximately 90% of our options will actually vest, and therefore have applied a forfeiture rate of 10% per year to all unvested options as of June 30, 2007. This analysis will be re-evaluated periodically and the forfeiture rate will be adjusted as necessary. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over the vesting period will only be for those shares that vest.


Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the price of our common stock. The expected term of options is derived based on the sum of the vesting term plus the original option term, divided by two.


A summary of stock option activity of options to employees and directors for the six months ended June 30, 2007, is presented below:

ITEM  2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  


FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS


Discussions and information in this document, which are not historical facts, should be considered forward-looking statements. With regard to forward-looking statements,  including  those  regarding  the  potential revenues from increased sales,  and  the  business  prospects  or any other aspect of Nighthawk Systems, Inc.'s  business,  actual results and business performance may differ materially from that  projected or estimated in such forward-looking statements. Nighthawk Systems, Inc. ("the Company") has attempted to identify in this document certain of the factors that it currently believes may cause actual future experience and results to differ from its current expectations. Differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to, adverse economic conditions, entry of new and stronger competitors, inadequate capital and the inability to obtain funding from third parties.


The  following  information  should  be  read  in conjunction with the unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements included herein which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of  America  for  interim  financial  information.


GENERAL


The  Company  designs  and  manufactures intelligent remote monitoring and power control  products  that  are  easy  to use, inexpensive and can remotely control virtually  any device from any location.  Our proprietary, wireless products are ready  to  use upon purchase, so they are easily installed by anyone, regardless of  technical ability, and are also easily integrated into third-party products, systems  and  processes.  They  allow  for  intelligent  control by interpreting instructions sent via paging and satellite media, and executing the instructions by 'switching' the electrical current that powers the device, system or process. Our  intelligent  products can be activated individually, in pre-defined groups, or en masse, and for specified time periods with a simple click of a mouse or by dialing  a  telephone  number.


Our  products  have been uniquely designed and programmed to be simple and ready to use upon purchase by anyone, almost anywhere, at affordable prices.  As such, it  is  the Company's goal to have its products become commonplace, accepted and used  by  businesses  and  consumers  alike  in  their  daily  routines.


We  save  consumers  and  businesses time, effort and expense by eliminating the need  for a person to be present when and where an action needs to be taken.  By utilizing  existing  wireless  technology,  we give our users the flexibility to move  their  application  from  place  to  place,  without  re-engineering their network.  Currently,  most  commercial  control  applications  utilize telephone lines,  which  tether  the  system  to  a  single  location  and have



11



associated installation  and  monthly charges.  Our products make companies more profitable by  eliminating  installation costs and monthly charges for telephone lines, and allow  for  remote  control  of unmanned or remote locations that may operate on traditional  electrical  power,  or  solar  or  battery  generated  power.


Applications  for  our  intelligent  products  include,  but are not limited to:


-     Rebooting  remotely  located  computer  equipment

-     Remote  switching  of  residential  power

-     Managing  power  on  an  electrical  grid

-     Activation/deactivation  of  alarm  and  warning  devices

-     Displaying  or  changing  a  digital  or  printed  message or warning sign

-     Turning  pumps  on  or  off

-     Turning  heating  or  cooling  equipment  on  or  off



Companies both large and small are seeking ways to save money and lower the risk of  liability  by  replacing  processes  that  require  human  intervention with processes  that  can  be controlled remotely without on-site human intervention. Today, the remote control of industrial or commercial assets and processes is performed mainly through the use of telephone-line based systems.  Opportunities exist  for  companies  that provide intelligent wireless solutions, as telephone lines  are  expensive  and  limited  in  availability  and function. Nighthawk's products are  wireless,  and can be designed to work with a variety of wireless media.  The number of applications for wireless remote control is virtually limitless.  The  Company  has  identified  primary  markets  (Utility,  IT Professional,  Traffic  Control),  as  well  as  secondary  markets (Irrigation, Outdoor  Advertising,  Oil/Gas,  Security)  for  its  products.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT


In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 is a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. If an income tax position exceeds a more likely than not (greater than 50%) probability of success upon tax audit, the company will recognize an income tax benefit in its financial statements. Additionally, companies are required to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax exposures consistent with jurisdictional tax laws. We adopted FIN 48 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007.  We did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.  We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state of Colorado jurisdictions.  We are no longer subject to tax examinations for years before 2004.  We do not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.  Our policy is that we recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, we did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the quarter related to unrecognized tax benefits.  Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses and is offset somewhat by state tax credits.

Revenues  for  the  three-month  period  ended  June 30, 2007 were $339,684 as compared to $252,139 for the prior year, an increase of  35%  between  periods.  Sales of the Company’s utility products, primarily its CEO700 remote disconnect product, increased 57% or $93,436 between the periods presented.  Sales of these products constituted 76% of all revenues generated during the three month period ended June 30, 2007.  The Company has focused more marketing and sales effort towards electric utilities as the utilities continue to look for ways to automate tasks.  The Company has also begun to assemble a network of resellers and distributors that have started generating orders for the CEO700 product.  Sales of the Company’s PT1000 logic boards also increased between the periods presented, due primarily to a single sale of $21,000 that was recognized during the 2007 quarter.  Sales of the Company’s other primary product, the NH100 rebooting unit, decreased between the periods presented.  Going forward, it is the Company’s intention in the near term to focus sales and marketing efforts on its utility products division, which management believes affords the Company the best opportunity to produce sales volumes sufficient to produce positive cash flows.  


Airtime sales, generated on a recurring basis by the Company by reselling access to wireless networks, increased 42% from the second quarter of 2006 to the 2007 period.  The increase in airtime revenues is a direct result of more of the Company’s units being purchased and placed into operation by customers.


Cost of  revenues  includes  parts  and  pre-manufactured components used to assemble our products as well as allocated overhead for production personnel and facilities  costs.  Cost of revenues increased by $72,780 or 44% to $238,260 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $165,480 for the corresponding period of  the prior year and increased as a percentage of revenues between the periods from  65%  in  2006  to  70%  in  2007.  As a result, the Company's gross margin decreased between the periods from 35% to 30%. However, due to the increase in revenues, the Company produced more gross margin dollars in the 2007 period than it did in the 2006 period.   The Company currently make less gross margin on sales of its CEO700 product than on other products.  Because sales of these products increased as a percentage of overall revenues, the overall gross margin declined.  In addition, the Company produced and shipped a large number of CEO700 units during the month of June, and incurred additional labor charges that were included in cost of revenues for additional personnel and overtime.


Selling,  general  and  administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,  2007  decreased  by  $25,184  or  5%  from the three-month  period  ended  June 30,  2006.  This decrease  was  due  primarily to decreases in expenses associated with consulting services utilized by the Company as well as a decrease in research and development costs between the periods presented. These decreases more than offset approximately $36,000 in noncash expenses

associated with options previously awarded to employees, as well as to a Company board member, that was recognized during the 2007 period.


The  net  loss to common shareholders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 was $592,651 compared to $633,561 for the three-month period ended June 30,  2006.

Revenues  for  the  six-month  period  ended  June 30, 2007 were $551,705 as compared to $393,526 for the prior year, an increase of  40%  between  periods.  Sales of the Company’s utility products, primarily its CEO700 remote disconnect product, increased 52% or $108,950 between the periods presented, and sales of the Company’s PT1000 logic boards increased 241% or $87,649 between the periods presented.  Sales of these products constituted 80% of all revenues generated during the six month period ended June 30, 2007.  The Company has focused more marketing and sales effort towards electric utilities as the utilities continue to look for ways to automate tasks.  The Company has also begun to assemble a network of resellers and distributors that have started generating orders for the CEO700 product.  The Company sold approximately twice as many CEO700 units during the first six months of 2007 than it did during the first six months of 2006. Sales of the Company’s logic boards increased  between the periods presented  largely due to two particular sales made during the 2007 period, on of which was $61,625 and the other of which was for $21,000.  Sales of the Company’s other primary product, the NH100 rebooting unit, decreased between the periods presented, as did sales of emergency notification products.  Going forward, it is the Company’s intention in the near term to focus sales and marketing efforts on its utility products division, which management believes affords the Company the best opportunity to produce sales volumes sufficient to produce positive cash flows.  


Airtime sales, generated on a recurring basis by the Company by reselling access to wireless networks, increased 59% from the first six months of 2006 to the 2007 period.  The increase in airtime revenues is a direct result of more of the Company’s units being purchased and placed into operation by customers.


Cost of  revenues  includes  parts  and  pre-manufactured components used to assemble our products as well as allocated overhead for production personnel and facilities  costs.  Cost of revenues increased by $100,072 or 38% to $364,364 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $264,292 for the corresponding period of  the prior year, but decreased slightly as a percentage of revenues between the periods from  67%  in  2006  to  66%  in  2007.  As a result, the Company's gross margin increased slightly between the periods from 33% to 34%. The improvement in gross margins between periods can be attributed to the sale of the high margin PT1000 logic boards, primarily to the two customers as mentioned above.  Margins on these sales were sufficient to offset the lower margin percentage sales of CEO700’s made during the first six months of 2007.   




14



Selling,  general  and  administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,  2007  decreased  by  $71,070  or  5%  from the six-month  period  ended  June 30,  2006.  This decrease  was  due  primarily to decreases in expenses associated with consulting services utilized by the Company as well as a decrease in research and development costs between the periods presented.  The Company also recognized less legal fees during the current year period as it decreased the number of associated financing transactions from the 2006 period to the 2007 period. These decreases more than offset approximately $95,000 in noncash expenses associated with options previously awarded to employees, as well as to a Company board member, that was recognized during the 2007 period.


Interest expense decreased $239,289 or 12% between the first six months of 2006 and the first six months of 2007.  During the first six months of 2006,  six Duthcess debentures and notes were paid off prior to their maturity date.  When this occurs, the Company expenses any unamortized  discount  associated  with  the debt being paid off, as well as any unamortized expense associated with  incentive shares issued with the debt and any early redemption penalties.  During the first six months of 2007, only one Dutchess debenture was paid off prior to its maturity date.



The  net  loss to common shareholders for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was $1,709,953 compared to $1,949,242 for the six-month period ended June 30,  2006.  



LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES


The Company’s financial statements for three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  


The  Report  of  our  Independent  Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company's financial  statements  as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes a "going  concern"  explanatory  paragraph which means that the auditors expressed substantial  doubt  about  the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although  no  assurance  can  be  given  that  such  plans  will be successfully implemented,  management's  plans  to  address  these  concerns  include:


-  Raising working capital through additional borrowings.

-  Raising  equity  funding  through  sales  of  the  Company's  common  stock.

-  Continued implementation of the Company’s sales and marketing plans to generate

   additional cash flows from operations.


In 2004, the Company signed an investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities, II, L.P.  ("Dutchess")  under which Dutchess agreed to purchase up to $10.0 million  in common stock from the Company, at the Company's discretion, subject to certain limitations including the Company's then current  trading  volume (Note 3).  Although  the  amount  and  timing  of  specific cash infusions  available  under the entire financing arrangement cannot be predicted with  certainty, the arrangement represents a contractual commitment by Dutchess to  provide  funds  to  the  Company.  Since  entering into the arrangement with Dutchess,  the  Company  has  received approximately $5.0 million from Dutchess which has been used to cover  its  operating  cash  flow  deficits .  The investment agreement, unless extended by mutual agreement, is scheduled to expire in December 2007.  Although no assurance may be given that it will be able to do so, the Company expects to be able to continue to access funds under this arrangement through December 2007.


As a result of higher sales volumes made during the first six months of 2007, combined with decreased cash-based selling, general and administrative expenses, cash used in operating activities decreased to $790,653 during the first six months of 2007 as compared to $1,191,569 during the first six months of 2006.  In order to cover monthly cash flow deficits during the first six months of 2007 and shortly thereafter, the Company generated cash proceeds from the exercise of puts to Dutchess totaling $271,761 during the 2007 period and borrowed $500,000 under a convertible debenture with Dutchess.  The Company also borrowed $170,000 from Dutchess during the three month period ending June 30, 2007.  Using cash on hand, the Company paid down $150,000 in debt owed to one of its creditors during the 2007 period.




15



The  Company issued 5,985,505 shares to Dutchess during the quarter ended June 30, 2007  which  was  used  to  pay  down $398,373 in debt and accrued interest during the period, and converted $430,620 in notes payable to Dutchess into  11,961,655 shares of common stock.


Until  the Company is able to generate positive cash flows from operations in an amount  sufficient to cover its current liabilities and debt obligations as they become  due, it will remain reliant on borrowing funds from or selling equity to Dutchess  or  other  parties  to meet those obligations. Although the amount and timing  of  specific  cash  infusions  available  under  the  entire  financing arrangement  cannot  be  predicted  with certainty, the arrangement represents a contractual  commitment  by  Dutchess  to  provide  funds  to  the  Company.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES


We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States (GAAP), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures.  Management identifies critical accounting estimates as:

-

Those that require the use of assumptions about matters that are inherently and highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made; and

-

Those for which changes in the estimate or assumptions, or the use of different estimates and assumptions, could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.


Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates with the Board of Directors.  For a description of our critical  accounting estimates that require us to make the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.  We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed.


ITEM  3.  CONTROLS  AND  PROCEDURES


(a)  Evaluation  of  Disclosure  Controls  and  Procedures:


The  Company's  management,  including the Company's principal executive officer and  principal accounting and financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of  the  Company's  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined in Rules 13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  under  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on  Form  10-QSB.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer  and  principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that the disclosure  controls  and  procedures  were  effective  as of June 30, 2007 to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  material  information  relating to the Company  is  made  known  to  management  including  the  CEO.


There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that  occurred  during  the  Company's  last fiscal quarter that have materially affected,  or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
