ION NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2007

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

Basis of Presentation


ION Networks, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation founded in 1999 through the combination of two companies -- MicroFrame, a New Jersey Corporation (the predecessor entity to the Company, originally founded in 1982), and SolCom Systems Limited, a Scottish corporation located in Livingston, Scotland (originally founded in 1994), designs, develops, manufactures and sells network and information security and management products to corporations, service providers and government agencies. The Company's hardware and software suite of products are designed to form a secure auditable portal to protect IT and network infrastructure from internal and external security threats. ION's products operate in the IP, data center, telecommunications and transport, and telephony environments and are sold by a direct sales force and indirect channel partners mainly throughout North America and Europe.


The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to make the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 not misleading have been made.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are not indicative of a full year or any other interim period.


Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Management’s Liquidity Plans


The Company incurred a net loss of $233,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, which includes $171,866 of non-cash charges resulting from $87,980 of depreciation and amortization and $58,981 of stock-based compensation. The Company has $42,419 of working capital at March 31, 2007. The Company continues to have a delicate cash position. Management believes it is necessary for it to continue to strictly manage expenditures and to increase product revenues. In addition, the Company has historically received proceeds from the sale of its New Jersey Net Operating Losses during the fourth quarter of previous years.  While no assurance can be made that the Company will again receive such proceeds, if the Company is approved for this program again in 2007, it expects to use the proceeds received under this program for general working capital purposes.

The Company, beginning in the summer of 2003 undertook a financial and operating restructuring plan designed to reduce the amount of cash flows used in its operating activities. The Company’s operational restructuring initiatives included, among other things, streamlining operations by reducing employee headcount and cutting overhead expenses.  The Company next focused on refreshing its product line and incurred capital expenditures of approximately $1,500,000 related to new product development during 2004-2006. In the second half of 2006, the Company turned its attention to revenue generating activities on selling products that are intended to generate higher profit margins.  In the first quarter of 2007, the Company signed a two-year agreement with an outsourcing sales firm to assist in the growth of revenues.

The Company entered into a $2.5 million revolving credit facility with Bridge Bank on September 9, 2005. This facility has a two-year term, expiring in September 2007. The facility has provided the Company with timely working capital requirements. The Company must successfully negotiate a renewal to its financing arrangement with Bridge Bank, as it has not secured any commitments for new financing at this time nor can it provide any assurance that new capital (if needed) will be available to it on acceptable terms, if at all. However, the Company believes that because of the asset-backed nature of this financing facility, and its history of minimal accounts receivable write-offs, that it should be able to either renew the facility with Bridge Bank or find a suitable replacement.

The Company believes that its strategy of streamlining the business around its core competency of providing secure access management solutions is enabling it to operate under a more efficient cost structure than in the past.

The Company is continuing its financial and operational restructuring initiatives and will continue to implement its strategic business plan. Although the Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity to sustain its operations for the next twelve months based on its current revenue projections and its ability to manage its costs, there is no assurance that such projections will be met and will be sufficient. If such an event occurs, in order to sustain operations over the next twelve months, the Company would need to raise additional capital or take other measures, in the event outside sources of capital are not available.

The Company failed to comply with certain financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2007. This default can result in the Company not being permitted to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility in the future and may result in the loan



7



becoming due and payable in full.  The Company’s ability to continue operations will be materially adversely affected if it is unable to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and it is unable to replace the Revolving Credit Facility with another credit facility having satisfactory financial and other terms. The Company has received similar waivers from the bank in prior periods and is currently in the process of seeking a waiver on the current default, although there is no assurance that one will be obtained.


 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ION Networks, Inc. and Subsidiary. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Use of Estimates  

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


The significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence, capitalized software including estimates of future gross revenues, and the related amortization lives, deferred tax asset valuation allowance and depreciation and amortization lives.


Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007. There was no change in previously reported net loss.


Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes computer software development costs in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS No. 86"). SFAS No. 86 requires that the Company capitalize computer software development costs upon the establishment of the technological feasibility of a product, to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered through future sales of the product. Management is required to use professional judgment in determining whether development costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization. These costs are amortized to cost of sales by the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues from the sales of software bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from the sales of that software, or (ii) the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the product. As a result, the carrying amount of the capitalized software costs may be reduced materially in the near term.


The Company records impairment losses on capitalized software and other long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. The Company’s cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect its best estimate of future market and operating conditions. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value. While the Company believes that its estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows could materially affect the Company’s estimates.


The Company capitalized $180,776 and $131,138 of software development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $82,887 and $37,511 for the three months ending March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense is included in Cost of Sales in the Statement of Operations.


Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  Potentially dilutive securities of 10,326,608 and 13,116,870 at March 31, 2007 and 2006 are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of “Share Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated prior periods' results. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred stock based



8



compensation expense of $58,981 and $51,476, respectively. As of March 31, 2007, the fair value of unvested options totaled $109,830.

The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $0.10 and $0.18 per share, respectively.


Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales of hardware and software to end-users, value added resellers (VARs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) upon shipment if no significant vendor obligations exist and collectibility is probable. The Company does not offer customers the right to return products, however the Company records warranty costs at the time revenue is recognized. Management estimates the anticipated warranty costs but actual results could differ from those estimates.


In addition, the Company sells internally developed stand-alone finished software packages (“PRIISMS Software”), which permit end-users to monitor, secure and administer voice and data communications networks.  The software packages permit the customer to utilize the PRIISMS software pursuant to the terms of the license. Other than during an initial ninety-day warranty period from the date of shipment, the purchaser is not entitled to upgrades/enhancements or services that can be attributable to a multi-element arrangement. In addition, the customer does not have any rights to exchange or return the software. Since the software package sale does not require significant production, modification or customization, the Company recognizes revenue at such time the product is shipped and collectibility is probable in accordance with the accounting guidance under Statement Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.”   


The Company sells separate customer maintenance contracts and maintenance revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the service is provided, generally one year. On some occasions, maintenance is provided on a time and material basis in which case revenue is recognized upon shipment of the repaired item.


Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits”. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss



9



carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of FIN 48.

In accordance with FIN 48, interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “Interest expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”

In many cases the Company’s tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. The Company files income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. In most instances, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2003.

The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. As of March 31, 2007, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be recorded.

The Company recognized a deferred tax asset of approximately $16,400,000 as of March 31, 2007, primarily relating to net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $44,850,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2026.  

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At present, the Company does not have a sufficient history of income to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance was established in the full value of the deferred tax asset.

A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance net of appropriate reserves. Should the Company continue to be profitable in future periods with supportable trends, the valuation allowance will be reversed accordingly.

 

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

Inventories, net of allowance for obsolescence of $45,901 at March 31, 2007, consists of the following:

 

   

Raw materials

$      157,696

 

Finished goods

216,952

 
   
 

$      374,648

 


NOTE 4 – REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY


On September 21, 2005, the Company entered into the asset based Revolving Credit Facility for $2.5 million with Bridge Bank, N.A. The Revolving Credit Facility has a two-year term, which upon maturity, requires payment of the outstanding principal and interest balance. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for advances of up to $2.0 million against 80% of eligible accounts receivables and an additional $500,000 against inventory capped at 30% of eligible accounts receivables. The annual interest rate is prime plus 1.75% (10.0% at March 31, 2007), with a minimum prime rate of 6.25%. Certain assets of the Company secure the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Company is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants, as defined in the agreement. As of March 31, 2007, the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $254,545.


The Company failed to comply with certain financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2007 and has not received a waiver of such default. The Company has received similar waivers from the bank in prior periods and is currently in the process of seeking a waiver on the current default, although there is no assurance that one will be obtained.


NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY


Warrants

On January 26, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued fully vested warrants with a two year term to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.10 per share for a total value of $133,709 based on the Black-Scholes model.

Options


On February 28, 2007, the Company granted board members immediately exercisable options to purchase an aggregate of 9,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.10 for a total value of $599, based on the Black-Scholes model, under a previously approved option plan.

NOTE 6 – SALES CONCENTRATIONS


Historically, the Company has been dependent on several large customers each year, but they are not necessarily the same every year. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company’s net sales came from four significant customers consist of 25%, 23%, 14% and 12% , compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, when the Company’s had three significant customers which consisted of 19%, 17%, and 12% of net sales. In general, the Company cannot predict with certainty, which large customers will continue to place orders. The loss of any of these customers or a significant decline in sales volumes from any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

OVERVIEW

Historically, a significant portion of our revenues have been derived from sales to relatively few customers, and we expect this trend to continue. We do not have purchase contracts with any of our customers that obligate them to continue to purchase our products, and they could cease purchasing products from us at any time. A delay in purchase or cancellation by any of our customers could cause quarterly revenues to vary significantly. In addition, during a given quarter, a significant portion of our revenues may be derived from the sale of a relatively small number of systems. Accordingly, a small change in the number of systems we sell may also cause significant changes in our operating results. Because fluctuations in the timing of orders from our customers or in the number of individual systems we sell could cause our revenues to fluctuate significantly in any given quarter or year, we do not believe that period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are necessarily meaningful, and they should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006:


Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007, were $942,962 compared to net sales of $631,066 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $311,896 or 49.4%. The increase in revenue for first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period last year was due primarily to an increase in hardware and software sales from $511,698 to $815,938 an increase of $304,239.


Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $410,335 compared to $258,239 for the same period in 2006. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased to 43.5% from 40.9% for the same period in 2006. Gross margins decreased to 56.5% from 59.1% in the quarter ending March 31, 2007 compared to the same period last year. The 2.6% gross margin reduction was primarily the result of an increase in the charge for capitalized software amortization expenses to $82,886 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $37,511 for the same period in 2006.


Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $84,922 compared to $151,136 for the same period in 2006 or a decrease of $66,214. The decrease in R&D expenses was due primarily to decreased payroll related expenses for salaries, benefits and incentive compensation of $82,446 and decreased capitalization of software expenses related to new product development of $31,448, offset in part by an increase in professional fees of $45,406. The decline in payroll expenses is primarily due to the reduction of headcount, in this department, from 8 employees in 2006 to 6 employees in 2007 and the increase in professional fees reflects the Company’s decision to outsource more operating activities.


Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $656,806 compared to $683,722 for the same period in 2006, a decrease of $26,916. The decrease in SG&A expenses was due primarily to decreased payroll related expenses for salaries, benefits and incentive compensation of $79,751 offset in part by an increase in professional fees of $50,779.


Depreciation expense was $5,093 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $4,146 in the same period in 2006.


Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 amounted to $233,255 compared to $477,333 for the same period in 2006. The reduction in net loss of $244,078 was due primarily to the combined impact of higher net sales of $311,896 and higher cost of goods of $152,096 resulting in an increase in gross margin of $159,800, and reduced operating expenses for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year of $92,183.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company incurred a net loss of $233,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, which includes $171,866 of non-cash charges resulting from $87,980 of depreciation and amortization and $58,981 of stock-based compensation. The Company has $42,420 of working capital at March 31, 2007. The Company continues to have a delicate cash position. Management believes it is necessary for it to continue to strictly manage expenditures and to increase product revenues. In addition, the Company has historically received proceeds from the sale of its New Jersey Net Operating Losses during the fourth quarter of previous years.  While no assurance can be made that the Company will again receive such proceeds, if the Company is approved for this program again in 2007, it expects to use the proceeds received under this program for general working capital purposes.

The Company, beginning in the summer of 2003 undertook a financial and operating restructuring plan designed to reduce the amount of cash flows used in its operating activities. The Company’s operational restructuring initiatives included, among other things, streamlining operations by reducing employee headcount and cutting overhead expenses.  The Company next focused on refreshing its product line and incurred capital expenditures of approximately $1,500,000 related to new product development during 2004-2006. In the second half of 2006, the Company turned its attention to revenue generating activities on selling products that are intended to generate higher profit margins.  In the first quarter of 2007, the Company signed a two-year agreement with an outsourcing sales firm to assist in the growth of revenues.

The Company entered into a $2.5 million revolving credit facility with Bridge Bank on September 9, 2005. This facility has a two-year term, expiring in September 2007. The facility has provided the Company with timely working capital requirements. The Company must successfully negotiate a renewal to its financing arrangement with Bridge Bank, as it has not secured any commitments for new financing at this time nor can it provide any assurance that new capital (if needed) will be available to it on acceptable terms, if at all. However, the Company believes that because of the asset-backed nature of this financing facility, and its history of minimal accounts receivable write-offs, that it should be able to either renew the facility with Bridge Bank or find a suitable replacement.

The Company believes that its strategy of streamlining the business around its core competency of providing secure access management solutions is enabling it to operate under a more efficient cost structure than in the past.

The Company is continuing its financial and operational restructuring initiatives and will continue to implement its strategic business plan. Although the Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity to sustain its operations for the next twelve months based on its current revenue projections and its ability to manage its costs, there is no assurance that such projections will be met and will be sufficient. If such an event occurs, in order to sustain operations over the next twelve months, the Company would need to raise additional capital or take other measures, in the event outside sources of capital are not available.

The Company failed to comply with certain financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2007. This default can result in the Company not being permitted to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility in the future and may result in the loan becoming due and payable in full.  The Company’s ability to continue operations will be materially adversely affected if it is unable to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and it is unable to replace the Revolving Credit Facility with another credit facility having satisfactory financial and other terms. The Company has received similar waivers from the bank in prior periods and is currently in the process of seeking a waiver on the current default, although there is no assurance that one will be obtained.


Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $273 compared to $305,328 in the same period in 2006, a difference of $305,055. Improved cash amounts provided by inventory, net loss, accrued payroll and related expense, and accounts payable of $500,142, $244,078, $164,414 and $98,280, respectively, were offset by the generation of accounts receivable of $730,984.


Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $180,776 compared to net cash used during the same period in 2006 of $133,270. Capitalized software expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $180,776, an increase of $49,638 from $131,138 for the same period in 2006.


Net cash used by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $31,763 compared to net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $259,406. In the first quarter 2006 the Company borrowed $265,000 while in the same period in 2007 the Company made repayments on the credit facility of $31,139 for a net impact of $296,139.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of May 4, 2007, we did not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, result of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.
