Basis
of Presentation Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of
Focus
have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete

In the opinion of management, the condensed
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of Focus
financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
any future period.
The condensed consolidated financial
statements of Focus as of September 30, 2007 and for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited and should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year

Options
The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of
Focus common stock on the date of grant. Option grants generally vest over
four years and expire 10 years from the grant date. The fair value of each
option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined
in the following table:

The zero dividend yield is based on the fact that the
Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash
dividends. Expected volatility is based on the combination of historical
volatility of the Companys common stock and the expected moderation in future
volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options
and other factors. The risk-free interest rates are taken from the Daily
Federal Yield Curve Rates as of the grant dates as published by the Federal
Reserve and represent the yields on actively traded Treasury securities for
terms equal to the expected term of the options. The expected term calculation
is based on the Companys observed historical option exercise behavior and
post-vesting forfeitures of options by employees.

Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share was
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period,
if dilutive. Options to purchase 5,644,105 and 6,507,857 shares of common
stock, unvested shares of restricted stock of 1,105,467 and 730,307, warrants
to purchase 5,752,447 and 5,195,261 shares of common stock and 3,161 shares of
preferred stock convertible into 3,161,000 shares of common stock were
outstanding at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were not included
in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would have been
anti-dilutive. In addition, promissory notes that are convertible into
11,493,000 and 10,425,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were not included in the computation of
diluted net loss per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Accounts Receivable-Based Line of Credit
In November 2004, Focus obtained a $4.0
million line of credit from Greater Bay
Bank (the Bank) under which it
can borrow up to 90% of its eligible outstanding accounts receivable. The
credit line expires on February 23, 2008 as a result of an extension granted in
February 2007 and is collateralized by a personal guarantee from Carl Berg, a
Company director and shareholder. In connection with this credit line, the Bank
has obtained a first priority security interest in Focus accounts receivable
through an agreement with Mr. Berg, which enables Mr. Berg to retain his
existing security interest in all of Focus assets while subordinating his
pre-existing security interest in Focus accounts receivable. In connection
with the February 2007 extension, Focus agreed to pay loan commitment fees of
$22,500 and agreed to issue a warrant to the Bank to purchase 48,148 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $1.35 per share. In addition, Mr. Berg agreed to continue to personally guarantee
both the $4.0 million accounts receivable-based line of credit and the
$2.5 million term loan to the Bank. In connection with Mr. Bergs continued
extension of his personal guarantee, Focus agreed to issue to Mr. Berg a
warrant to purchase 48,148 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $1.35 per share. The warrants issued in this extension transaction were
valued at $26,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The warrant
issued to the Bank will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the
line of credit and the warrant issued to Mr. Berg was charged to general and
administrative expense at the time of issuance.
The credit line is subject to ongoing covenants including a covenant
based on operating results. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at a
rate of prime plus 1%, which was 8.75% at September 30, 2007. At September 30,
2007, there was an outstanding balance on this credit line of $4.0 million.
Based on Focus' September 30, 2007 eligible account receivable, the maximum
amount available to borrow was $3.6 million. Therefore, on October 16, 2007 Focus
repaid $400,000 under the line of credit. The credit line expires on February
28, 2008.
Term Loan
On June 28, 2005, Focus signed a term loan
agreement with the
Bank under which Focus can borrow up to $2.5 million. The term
loan expires on February 23, 2008 as a result of extensions granted in February
and March 2007. Mr. Berg has
personally guaranteed the loan, which is interest only until maturity and is in
addition to Focus existing $4.0 million accounts receivable-based secured line
of credit that Focus has with the Bank. Interest is payable under this term
loan at prime plus 1%, which was 8.75% at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2007, there was an
outstanding balance under this term loan of $1.7 million, which gave Focus the
ability to borrow an additional $800,000 to the maximum amount of $2.5 million.
Convertible
Notes
On January 27, 2006,
Focus issued $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10% secured
convertible notes due January 1, 2011 to certain purchasers. The following are
the key features of the notes:
Interest accrues on the principal amount
of the notes at a rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 30 and
December 30 of each year.
Interest due on the first three
semi-annual payments may, at the issuers option, be paid in the form of a note
with the same terms and conditions of the original notes, including conversion
rights.
The notes are convertible, at the option
of the holder, into shares of Focus common stock at a conversion price of $1.00
per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits,
reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate actions.
11
The notes are collateralized by all of
the assets of Focus in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions
contained in a security agreement entered into concurrently with the issuance
of the notes.
The notes are redeemable, at the option
of Focus, at any time at a redemption price equal to 102% times the face rate
of the notes, plus any accrued interest.
Upon a fundamental change, which includes
a change in control of Focus or failure of Focus common stock to be listed for
quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market or another established automated
over-the-counter trading marking in the United States, each holder of the notes
may require Focus to repurchase all of its debt at a purchase price equal to
101% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers dated
January 24, 2006 (the Registration Rights Agreement), Focus agreed to file a
resale registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable to the
investors upon the conversion of the notes. The due date may accelerate in the
event Focus commences any case relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or related
events of default.
On June 30, 2007, December 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, Focus issued
additional notes in the amounts of $547,167, $521,250 and $425,000, in lieu of
the cash interest payments due on June 30, 2007, December 30, 2006 and June 30,
2006, respectively. These notes retain the same terms and conditions as the
$10.0 million convertible notes issued on January 27, 2006.

Commitments and Contingencies
Research and Development
Agreements

Inventory
Purchase Commitments
Under contract manufacturing arrangements, contract manufacturers
procure inventory to manufacture products based upon a forecast of customer
demand provided by Focus. Focus is responsible for the financial impact on the
contract manufacturer of any reduction or product mix shift in the forecast
relative to materials that the contract manufacturer had already purchased, and
is unable to return, under a prior forecast. Such a variance in forecasted
demand could require a cash payment for finished goods in excess of current
customer demand or for costs of excess or obsolete inventory.
At September 30, 2007,
Focus had issued non-cancelable purchase orders for approximately $1.3 million
for finished goods from its contract manufacturers, and had not incurred any
significant liability for finished goods in excess of current customer demand
or for the costs of excess or obsolete inventory.
Product
Warranty Costs.
Focus warranty period for its products is generally 90 days to two
years. Focus accrues for warranty costs, based on estimated warranty return
rates and costs to repair, at the time revenue is recognized. At September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, Focus reserves for warranty costs were $159,000
and $191,000, respectively.

Income
Taxes
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertain Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in
an entitys financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes (FAS 109) and prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact
of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized
at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit
by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will
not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being
sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition.
As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, there was no impact to the
Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. In accordance with FIN 48,
the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits as a component of income taxes. At September 30, 2007 no interest
or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits had been recorded.
There was no change to the Companys unrecognized tax benefits for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2007.
The
Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the U.S. and
various states and foreign jurisdictions. All the Companys tax years
will be open to examination by the U.S. federal and certain state tax
authorities due to the Companys net operating loss and overall credit carry
forward position. With few exceptions, the Company is not subject to
examination by foreign tax authorities for years before 2004.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and with Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
contained in Focus Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006 and Item 1ARisk Factorscontained therein.
Certain Factors That May Affect
Future Results
Discussions of certain matters in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements, which are based
on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations,
are generally identifiable by the use of words or phrases such as believe, plan,
expect, intend, anticipate, estimate, project, forecast, may
increase, may fluctuate, may improve and similar expressions or future or
conditional verbs such as will, should, would, and could.
In particular,
statements contained in this document that are not historical facts (including,
but not limited to, statements concerning anticipated revenues, anticipated
operating expense levels, capital resources and needs and liquidity outlook,
potential new products and orders, and such expense levels relative to our
total revenues) constitute forward-looking statements and are made under the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Our actual results of operations and financial condition have varied and may in
the future vary significantly and materially from those stated in any
forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include,
without limitation, the availability of capital to fund our future cash needs,
reliance on major customers, history of operating losses, market acceptance of
our products, technological obsolescence, competition, successful integration
of acquisitions, component supply problems and protection of proprietary
information, the unpredictability of costs to develop new technologies, as well
as the accuracy of our internal estimates of revenue and operating expense
levels. For a discussion of these
factors and some of the factors that might cause such a difference see also
Item 1A of our Form 10-K under the heading Risk Factors and those described
from time to time in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. These factors should be
considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake, and specifically
disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect
occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such
statements except, as required by law.

Revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 2007 was $7.8 million, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 33%,
compared with the three months ended September 30, 2006. Revenue for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 was $23.2 million, a decrease of $4.0, or 14.6%, compared with the
nine months ended September 30, 2006.
For the three months ended
September 30, 2007, net sales of systems products to distributors, retailers
and value added resellers, were approximately $6.5 million compared to $5.4
million for the same period in 2006, an increase of $1.1 million. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, net sales of our systems products were
approximately $19.4 million compared to $17.9 million for the same period in
2006, an increase of $1.5 million. This increase in sales of systems products
mainly reflects sales of our Direct to Edit acquisition products and ProxSys
products, partially offset by a decrease in sales of digital signage systems.
Sales of semiconductor products
to distributors and OEM customers were approximately $1.3 million in the three
months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $6.2 million for the same period
in 2006, a decrease of $4.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30,
2007, sales of our semiconductor products were approximately $3.8 million compared
to $9.3 million for the same period in 2006, a decrease of $5.5 million. This
decrease reflects reduced demand by a customer that had incorporated our video
convergence chips in its portable media player (PMP) in 2006. We did not
receive subsequent orders from that customer in 2007.
As of September 30, 2007, we had a sales
order backlog of approximately $1.2 million, a decrease of $600,000 compared to
June 30, 2007.
Sales to one customer accounted for 14% of
our revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2007. Sales to one customer
accounted for 48% of our revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Sales to one customer accounted for 13% of
our revenue for the nine month ended in September 30, 2007. Sales to one
customer accounted for 26% of our revenue in the nine months ended September
30, 2006.

Our gross
margin rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased to 44.9%
from 49.9% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of
5.0 percentage points. The decrease is due to a decrease in semiconductor
product sales of $4.9 million, which were at a higher than average gross margin
rate. Our gross margin rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2007
increased to 45.5% from 45.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an
increase of 0.5 percentage points. This increase in the gross margin rate is
mainly related to product mix.

Sales, marketing and support
Sales, marketing and support
expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were
approximately $2.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, and were consistent
with amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The
increase in sales, marketing and support expenses are due to an increase in
head count, partially offset by lower commission and bonus expenses as a result
of decreased sales between the comparison periods.
General and administrative
General and administrative
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $1.1
million, and were consistent with amounts for the three months ended September
30, 2006. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 were $3.2 million, an increase of $217,000 from $3.0 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The increase in general and
administrative expenses reflects an increase in consulting fees of $64,000
mainly related to implementation of the requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, an increase in legal fees of $25,000, an increase in bank
charges of $39,000 which are warrant issuance fees for the Q1 PIPE, an increase
in travel expense of $37,000 and an increase in payroll and payroll related
expenses of $29,000.
Research and development
Research and development
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $3.5 million, an
increase of $383,000 from $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2006. The increase in research and development expenses mainly reflects an
increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $400,000 and an increase in
material and prototyping charges of $272,000 related to our UWB initiative.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consulting expense due
to the completion of a third party design service. The increase in payroll and
payroll-related expenses is due to a higher average headcount during the three
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September
30, 2006.
22
Research and development
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $11.4 million,
compared to $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase
of $2.5 million. The increase in research and development expenses mainly
reflects an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $1.8 million
and an increase in material and prototyping charges expenses of $900,000,
partly offset by a decrease in consulting expense due to the completion of a
third party design service. The increase in payroll and payroll-related
expenses mainly due to a higher average headcount during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

There was no amortization
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Amortization expense for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $172,000. Amortization expense
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $186,000, which decreased
$331,000 from the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in
amortization expense reflects no further amortization for certain intangibles
associated with our acquisition of COMO Computer & Motion GmbH in February
2004 and Visual Circuits Corporation in May 2004.

Net interest expense for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 was $396,000, compared to $337,000 in the
three months ended September 30, 2006. Net interest expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 was $985,000 compared to $828,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 2006. The increase in net interest expense reflects
interest expense on approximately $17.2 million of debt at September 30, 2007
compared to debt of approximately $11.6 million at September 30, 2006.
The $4.0 million derivative liability
represents the fair value of the conversion option calculated in connection
with the $10.0 million convertible notes issued in January 2006. The value of
the conversion option was bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded
as a derivative liability, which resulted in a discount to the initial carrying
amount of the convertible notes. The $4.0 million discount was immediately
expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as value of
derivative security as the notes may be converted to common stock at any time
after issuance.
Effective June 28, 2006, we
amended certain agreements associated with our $10 million in convertible
notes, eliminating the derivative component. However, we were required to
revalue the derivative liability as of the amendment date based on the closing
price of Focus common stock of $0.85, the remaining term coinciding with the
contract and a volatility of 83%. As such, we recorded a $1.8 million expense for
the change in the fair value of the derivative liability in the three month
period ended June 30, 2006. With the elimination of the derivative component,
we
reclassified the total derivative liability of approximately $5.4
million to additional paid-in capital.
The nine month
change in value of the derivative liability represents the difference between
the fair value of the derivative liability when the convertible notes were
issued and the fair value of the derivative liability at June 28, 2006, the day
the derivative component of the convertible notes was eliminated. The
revaluation of the derivative liability on March 31, 2006 and June 28, 2006, resulted
in a $1.4 million expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Other income (expense) for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 consists mainly of fluctuations
associated with exchange rate differences related to transactions denominated
in Euros.

LIQUIDITY AND
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, we incurred net losses
of $12.0 million and $15.9 million, respectively, and used cash in operating
activities of $10.8 million, and $8.3 million, respectively. Absent continued
access to capital from the sale of securities or other sources, we may
potentially be unable to continue as a going concern.
The condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue as a going concern. Continuing as a going concern depends upon our
ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows to meet our obligations on a
timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately
to return to profitability.
Since inception, we have
financed our operations primarily through the public and private sale of common
stock and other convertible debt securities, lines of credit and debt
borrowings from financial institutions, proceeds from the exercise of options
and warrants, short-term borrowings or guarantees from private lenders
(including individuals) and credit arrangements with vendors and suppliers.

Net cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $10.8
million and $6.1 million, respectively. The increase in net cash used in
operating activities mainly reflects an increase in the net loss adjusted for
non-cash items, a decrease in cash provided by accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in cash used by accounts
receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses and other current assets. The
decrease in cash used by accounts receivable and inventories reflects our lower
sales run rate compared to prior year. The decrease in cash provided by
accounts payable and accrued liabilities mainly reflects the timing of payments
related to our UWB investment.
25
Two customers had accounts receivable
balances in excess of 10% of our total accounts receivable at September 30,
2007. These customers accounted for 27% of our total accounts receivable at
that date
.
We expect that our operating
cash flows may fluctuate in future periods as a result of fluctuations in our
operating results, shipment timetable and accounts receivable collections,
inventory management, and the timing of payments among other factors.
Net cash used in investing
activities
Net cash used in investing
activities was $607,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared
to $412,000 used in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in
cash used in investing activities mainly reflects the timing of purchases of
equipment and design tools related to our investment in UWB technology.
Net cash provided by financing
activities
Net cash provided by financing
activities was $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
compared to $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The net
cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30,
2007 mainly consists of net proceeds of $11.1 million from the issuance of
stock in two private placements, $207,000 from the exercise of stock options
and warrants, partly offset by the net repayment of $190,000 associated with
our term loan and line of credit. The net cash provided by financing activities
in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 mainly consists of proceeds of
$10.0 million from the issuance of convertible notes, $500,000 of borrowing
under the line of credit, $700,000 of borrowing under the term loan and
proceeds of $1.3 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants,
partially offset by the repayment of $5.5 million associated with our term loan
and line of credit.
Capital
Resources and Liquidity Outlook
We have incurred losses and
used net cash in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 and each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006, and as
such, have been dependent upon raising money for short- and long-term cash
needs through the issuance of debt, proceeds from the exercise of options and
warrants, and the sale of our common stock in private placements.
In November 2004, we obtained a
revolving $4.0 million bank credit line under which we can borrow up to 90% of
our eligible outstanding accounts receivable. Carl Berg, a Company director and
shareholder, provided a personal guarantee to secure this credit line. In
connection with this credit line, Greater Bay Bank (the Bank) obtained a
first priority security interest on our accounts receivable through an
agreement with Mr. Berg, which enabled Mr. Berg to retain his existing security
interest in all of our assets while subordinating to the Bank his security
interest in our accounts receivable. The Bank credit line is subject to ongoing
covenants, including a covenant related to operating results.
Interest is payable under this loan at
prime plus 1%. At September 30, 2007, there was an outstanding balance
on this credit line of $4.0 million. Based on our September 30, 2007 eligible
accounts receivable, the maximum amount available to borrow was $3.6 million.
Therefore, on October 16, 2007 we repaid $400,000 under the line of credit. The
credit line expires on February 23, 2008.
On September 28, 2005, we
signed a term loan agreement with the
Bank under which we can borrow up to $2.5
million. The term loan has a maturity date of February 23, 2008, is interest
only until maturity and is in addition to our existing $4.0 million accounts
receivable based secured line of credit facility described above with the Bank.
Interest is payable under this loan at prime plus 1%. At September 30, 2007,
the outstanding balance under this term loan was $1.7 million, $800,000 less
than the maximum amount of $2.5 million that was available to borrow.
On January 27, 2006, we raised gross proceeds of $10.0 million from the
issuance of secured convertible notes to a group of private investors. Interest
accrues on the principal amount of the notes at a rate of 10% per annum,
payable semi-annually. The notes are convertible into shares of Focus common
stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The notes are due January 1,
2011 and are secured by all of the assets of Focus. Under certain
circumstances, including a change in control or our failure to continue to be
listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the due date of the notes may be
accelerated. On June 30, 2006, December 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, in accordance
with the terms of the secured convertible notes, we issued an additional
$425,000, $521,000 and $547,000 of convertible notes in lieu of a cash interest
payment due on June 30, 2006, December
30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
We received net proceeds of $6.2 million from the issuance of common
stock to a group of private investors in February 2007, and $4.9 million
from the issuance of common stock to a group of private investors in
September 2007. In addition to these funds, we will have to raise
additional amounts before March 31, 2008, to continue development and launch
commercialization of our next generation
26
UWB products. The amount necessary will depend upon the results and timing
of ongoing UWB development efforts and the anticipated growth of our
semiconductor and systems businesses.
Our future capital requirements will remain dependent upon these and other factors, including cash flow from operations,
maintaining our gross margins at current or increased levels, continued progress in research and
development programs, competing technological and market developments, and our
ability to market our new products successfully.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2007, we did not hold any
short-term investments that would be exposed to market risk from adverse
movements in interest rates.
At September 30, 2007, our outstanding debt obligations consisted of secured convertible notes of $11.5 million see Note 8, Borrowings.
A fixed interest rate is applicable to these debt obligations of 10.0% per annum.
Foreign Currency Risk
Gains or losses related to
foreign exchange currency transactions were not material for the periods ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006.
Item 4T.
Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company, with
the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, respectively), evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of
the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the
President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There was no
change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
our third quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We will be required to
evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting and prepare a
management assessment on our internal controls in order to comply with the
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
requires that the management assessment of our internal controls be audited beginning
with our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. We estimate the cost of meeting
these requirements will be approximately $650,000 through March 2009.
