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 financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Focus as of March 31, 2008 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in Focus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Equity-Based Compensation

Focus accounts for equity-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.


The share-based compensation recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, was:

Stock 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:

 
Three Months Ended
 
March 31, 2008
 
March 31, 2007
       
Average expected term of options
5 years
 
4 years
Risk-free rate of interest
2.36% - 2.64%
 
4.56%
Volatility of common stock
80%
 
81%
Dividend yield
0%
 
0%

 
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 Company’s 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 Company’s observed historical option exercise behavior and post-vesting forfeitures of options by employees.

A summary of activity related to Focus’ restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is presented below:

   
Shares
   
Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
 
             
Non-vested restricted stock shares outstanding at January 1, 2008

At March 31, 2008, Focus had $752,000 of unrecognized compensation expense, net of forfeitures, related to restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.8 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, 312,206 shares of restricted stock with a fair market value of $149,000 vested.  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, 188,516 shares of restricted stock vested with a fair market value of $246,000


4.
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 5,573,509 and 6,234,547 shares of common stock, unvested shares of restricted stock of 1,008,114 and 1,093,009, warrants to purchase 32,176,199 and 4,332,406 shares of common stock and 3,161 shares of preferred stock convertible into 3,161,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 were convertible into 10,946,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2007, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.


5.
Significant Customers

No one customer accounted for more than 10% of Focus’ revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007.

No one customer had accounts receivable balance in excess of 10% of Focus’ total accounts receivable at March 31, 2008. Two customers had an accounts receivable balance in excess of 10% of Focus’ total accounts receivable at March 31, 2007.

Line of Credit – Heritage Bank of Commerce

On March 4, 2008, the Company finalized a Loan and Security Agreement dated February 22, 2008 (“Loan Agreement”) with Heritage Bank of Commerce (“Heritage Bank”). Under the Loan Agreement, the Company may borrow up to $6.5 million through one or more advances through February 21, 2009, which is the maturity date (the “Maturity Date”).  On the Maturity Date, all advances must be repaid. Carl Berg, a director of the Company, has personally guaranteed the Loan Agreement. At March 31, 2008, there was an outstanding balance under this line of credit of $6.5 million and $39,000 was available for future advances.

Payment terms under the Loan Agreement are interest only until maturity. Interest is payable under the Loan Agreement at prime plus 1%.  Obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to Heritage Bank to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.80 per share. The line of credit was subject to ongoing covenants including a covenant based on operating results.

The warrant is immediately exercisable through February 22, 2013 . The warrant was valued at $25,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the line of credit.

In connection with Mr. Berg’s extension of his personal guarantee, the Company has agreed to continue Mr. Berg’s first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, which he shares on a pro-rata basis with the Senior Secured Note Holders (see below, “Notes Payable”), except for the security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable, which have been subordinated to Heritage Bank’s security interest in the accounts receivable. However the Senior Secured Note Holders will not be bound by the intercreditor arrangement in respect of any indebtedness of Company owing Heritage Bank in excess of $6.5 million. In partial consideration of this extension of the personal guarantee, the Company issued to Mr. Berg a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The warrant is immediately exercisable through March 4, 2013. The warrant was valued at $50,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to general and administrative expense at the time of issuance.


Line of Credit and Term Loan – Greater Bay Bank

From November 2004 through February 23, 2008, Focus had access to a $4.0 million line of credit from Greater Bay Bank (“GBB Bank”) under which it could borrow up to 90% of its eligible outstanding accounts receivable. In addition, from June 2005 through February 23, 2008 Focus could also borrow an additional $2.5 million from GBB Bank under a term loan agreement. Both the line of credit and term loan were collateralized by a personal guarantee from Mr. Berg. In connection with this credit line, GBB Bank obtained a first priority security interest in Focus’ accounts receivable through an agreement with Mr. Berg, which enabled Mr. Berg to retain his existing security interest in all of Focus’ assets while subordinating his pre-existing security interest in Focus’ accounts receivable to GBB.

The credit line was subject to ongoing covenants including a covenant based on operating results. Borrowings under the GBB Bank line of credit and term loan were charged interest at a rate of prime plus 1%. At December 31, 2007, there was $3.6 million outstanding on the credit line and $2.5 million outstanding under the term loan. The GBB Bank line of credit and term loan expired on February 23, 2008 and were repaid.


Notes Payable

On February 11, 2008, Focus obtained new investments in the amount of approximately $9.3 million through the sale of additional indebtedness under revised terms of its existing January 24, 2006 Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Original Agreement”). Prior investors under the Original Agreement and new investors amended the Original Agreement through an “Amended and Restated Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement” (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement increases the amounts outstanding under the Original Agreement from $11.5 million (after amendments to date) to $20.8 million in new senior secured notes (“Notes”), amends the terms of the Notes so they are no longer convertible into Company common stock, and issues to the holders of the Notes a total of 26 million warrants under which the holders have the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for $0.80 per warrant share (“Warrant”). The Warrant was valued at $3.8 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was recorded as a discount on notes payable and will be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of the Notes. The Notes mature on January 1, 2011 and initially bear interest at a 12% annual rate, increasing to 15% on October 1, 2008, with payment dates on June 30 and December 30 of each year the Notes remain outstanding. The Notes are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company. The transaction closed on February 11, 2008. No placement agent fee or commissions were paid in connection with the Amended Agreement.
 
Under the Amended Agreement, the Company may, in its discretion, elect to pay interest due on June 30, 2008 and December 30, 2008 in cash or by issuing additional Notes in the full amount of such interest payment, if there has been no event of default. If the Company elects to make the interest payments by issuance of additional Notes, this would result is the additional issuance of up to approximately $2,600,000 of Note principal and approximately 3.3 million Warrants (at the same exercise price of $0.80 per share).
 
Under the Amended Agreement, an event of default includes, but is not limited to, (i) default in payment of interest or principal on the Notes; (ii) default in the payment of other Company indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000, (iii) commencement of any proceeding under federal bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state proceeding or an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) breach by the Company of any obligation under the Amended Agreement or other agreements entered into between the Company and the Note purchasers pursuant to the Amended Agreement which breach is not cured within 30 days after receipt of a notice of default, and (v) termination of the Company’s business or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Generally, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Notes will become immediately due and payable in full, and the holders of the Notes will be entitled to enforce their security interest in all of the assets of the Company.
 
The Amended Agreement includes various negative covenants. Among these are that the Company has agreed that it will not (i) transfer a substantial amount of its properties or assets outside the ordinary course of business, (ii) agree to be acquired in a merger or other acquisition transaction involving the transfer of a substantial amount of properties or assets of the Company, or (iii) incur additional debt for borrowed money, in each case without the consent of Purchase Agent (Ingalls & Snyder LLC) or the holders of a majority of the outstanding Notes principal amount.
 
The Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time at the initial exercise price of $0.80 per Warrant share for one share of the Company’s common stock subject to standard adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions. Additionally, with some exceptions, if the Company subsequently issues equity in a transaction, the primary purpose of which is raising capital, and the equity is issued on a common stock equivalent per share basis at less than $0.80/share, then the Warrant exercise price shall be adjusted to the greater of (i) the same price at which such equity was issued or (ii) $0.35 per share.
 
The Warrants are redeemable, at the Company’s discretion, as follows. Beginning January 1, 2009, if the average closing price of the Company’s common stock is above $1.30 for 30 calendar days, the Company may repurchase the Warrants for one cent ($0.01) in tranches of 2.6 million Warrants every 30 days, subject to certain other conditions, including the exercise of such Warrants by the holders thereof prior to the repurchase date.
 
The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at the Company’s option upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Note holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Commitments and Contingencies

Research and Development Agreements

In October 2004, Focus entered into a design services contract under which Focus agreed to pay $2.9 million to a third party for the design and development of high performance UWB integrated circuits. The contract amount was subsequently increased to $3.2 million. Payments were made upon the completion of specific milestones by the third party. The contract was completed in April 2007.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, $58,000 was charged to research and development based on the level of effort incurred by the third party. No amounts related to this contract were included within the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

In September 2007, Focus entered into a design services contract under which Focus agreed to pay approximately $1.3 million to a third party for the design and development of new UWB integrated circuits. Payments will be made upon the completion of specific milestones by the third party.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $291,000 was charged to research and development expense based on the level of effort incurred by the third party. At March 31, 2008, obligations related to this contract included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet were $674,000. At December 31, 2007, obligations related to this contract included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet were $515,000.

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 March 31, 2008, Focus had issued non-cancelable purchase orders for approximately $1.0 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 one year. Focus accrues for warranty costs, based on estimated warranty return rates and costs to repair, at the time revenue is recognized. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Focus’ reserves for warranty costs were $115,000 and $118,000, respectively.

Changes in Focus’ product warranty liability during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

The warrants vest over 10 months from the date of grant and are exercisable at prices between $0.05 and $0.50. These warrants have a three year life and were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Such warrants will be valued monthly, with the computed expense charged to operating expense until such warrants are fully vested. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 the Company recognized $4,000 as expense related to these warrants.

Related Party Transactions

Carl Berg

In December 2002, Mr. Berg provided Samsung Semiconductor Inc., one of Focus’ contracted ASIC manufacturers, with a personal guarantee to secure Focus’ working capital requirements for ASIC purchase order fulfillment. Mr. Berg provided the personal guarantee without additional cost or collateral, as Mr. Berg maintains a secured priority interest in substantially all of Focus’ assets. At March 31, 2008, Focus owed Samsung $15,000 under net 30 terms.

In February 2008, replacing his prior guarantee with respect to the Company’s indebtedness to Greater Bay Bank, Mr. Berg agreed to personally guarantee the Company’s line of credit with Heritage Bank. In connection with Mr. Berg’s extension of his personal guarantee to Heritage Bank, the Company has agreed to continue Mr. Berg’s first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, which he shares on a pro-rata basis with the Senior Secured Note Holders, except for the security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable, which have been subordinated to Heritage Bank’s security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable. However the Senior Secured Note Holders will not be bound by the intercreditor arrangement in respect of any indebtedness of Company owing Heritage Bank in excess of $6.5 million. In partial consideration of this extension of the personal guarantee, the Company issued to Mr. Berg a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The warrant is immediately exercisable through March 4, 2013.


Dolby Laboratories Inc.

N. William Jasper Jr., the Chairman of Focus’ Board of Directors, is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (“Dolby”), a signal processing technology company located in San Francisco, California. Focus is required to submit quarterly royalty payments to Dolby based on Dolby technology incorporated into certain products. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, Focus paid Dolby $6,000 and $12,000, respectively, in royalties, which were recorded in cost of revenue. Focus’ arrangements with Dolby are on standard commercial terms.

Norman Schlomka

Norman Schlomka, General Manager of COMO and an executive officer of Focus since February 2006, owns one third of the building, located in Raisdorf, Germany, that COMO occupies. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, Focus paid rent related to this building of approximately $25,000 and $22,000, respectively. The rent is on commercial terms deemed to be fair market value and comparable to other rents in the area.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis, for which application has been deferred for one year. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including and amendment of FASB statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the Company's choice to use fair value on its earnings, and requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the Company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The Company did not make any elections for fair value accounting and therefore, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), to partially defer Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 157-2 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.


Item   2.
Management's 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 the financial statements and Management's 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, 2007 and Item 1A--"Risk Factors"--contained 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 March 31, 2008 was $3.9 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 45.4%, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2007.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, net sales of systems products to distributors, retailers and value added resellers, were approximately $3.2 million compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $2.6 million. This decrease in sales of systems products is mainly due to reduced sales of our direct to edit (“DTE”) disk recorders and conversion products.

Sales of semiconductor products to distributors and OEM customers were approximately $626,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $608,000. This decrease is mainly due to reduced sales of our TV-Out chips for the portable media player market.

As of March 31, 2008, we had a sales order backlog of approximately $612,000, a decrease of $217,000 compared to December 31, 2007.

Sales to no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007.

Sales, marketing and support

Sales, marketing and support expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $2.2 million, compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $35,000 increase between comparison periods was driven by increased payroll and trade show expenses, partially offset by a decrease in commissions and bonuses as a result of decreased revenue .


General and administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $1.0 million compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced investor relations fees.


Research and development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $3.6 million, a decrease of $354,000 from $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in research and development expenses mainly reflects a decrease in consultant fees of $439,000 and a decrease in material and prototyping of $301,000 related to our UWB initiative. These decreases were partly offset by an increase in payroll and payroll related expenses due to a higher average headcount during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.

There was no amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $129,000. 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 March 31, 2008 was $687,000, compared to $290,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The additional interest expense is related to increased borrowings, including $9.3 million borrowed on February 11, 2008, an increase of the interest rate on the notes outstanding from 10% to 12% effective February 11, 2008 and interest expense derived from the amortization of note discount of $168,000.

Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred net losses of $6.0 million and $17.4 million, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $3.6 million, and $14.6 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $3.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities mainly reflects an increase in the net loss adjusted for non-cash items, an increase in cash used by accounts payable, offset by an increase in cash provided by accounts receivable and inventories. The increase in cash provided by accounts receivable and inventories reflects our lower sales run rate compared to prior year. The increase in cash used by accounts payable mainly reflects the timing of payments related to our UWB investment and reduced inventory purchases.

No one customer had accounts receivable balance in excess of 10% of our total accounts receivable at March 31, 2008.

We expect that our operating cash flows may fluctuate in future periods as a result of fluctuations in our operating results, shipment timetable, 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 $312,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $142,000 used in the three months ended March 31, 2007. 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 $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $308,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008 mainly consists of net proceeds of $9.3 million from the issuance of additional notes payable and an increase in net borrowings of $361,000 associated with our line of credit compared to cash provided from private financing of $6.2 million partly offset by $5.9 million net repayment of our line of credit and term loan for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Outlook

We have incurred losses and used net cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, 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.

We received gross proceeds of $9.3 million from the issuance of secured notes and warrants to a group of private investors in February 2008. These notes, along with such terms affecting an additional $11.5 million in previously outstanding notes, initially bear interest at a 12% annual rate, increasing to 15% on October 1, 2008, with interest due on June 30 and December 30 of each year the notes remain outstanding. We may elect to pay interest due on June 30, 2008 and December 30, 2008 in cash or by issuing additional notes in the full amount of such interest payment, if there has been no event of default. We received net proceeds of $6.2 million and $4.9 million from the issuances of common stock and warrants to groups of private investors in February 2007 and September 2007, respectively.


In March 2008, we finalized a line of credit agreement with Heritage Bank of Commerce. Under the line of credit, we may borrow up to $6.5 million in one or more advances through February 21, 2009. At March 31, 2008, $39,000 was available under this line of credit.

In early 2008, we focused on reducing our expense base. In February 2008, we eliminated eight positions or approximately five percent of our total workforce from our operations, sales and marketing departments. Additionally, in February 2008 we initiated a cash salary reduction plan for certain employees in consideration of such employees receiving compensation through payments of our common stock under our various stock plans. We estimate that this could save approximately $700,000 in cash in 2008.

Our expense reduction efforts are only part of overall efforts to reduce our financial risks. We will need to raise additional amounts before September 30, 2008, to continue development and launch commercialization of our next generation 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 , and our ability to market our new products successfully.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

At March 31, 2008, we did not hold any short-term investments that would be exposed to market risk from adverse movements in interest rates.

At March 31, 2008, our outstanding debt obligations consisted of secured notes payable of $20.8 million – see Note 7, “Borrowings”. A fixed interest rate is applicable to these debt obligations of 12.0% per annum through September 30, 2008 after which the rate increases to 15% per annum until maturity (January 1, 2011).

Foreign Currency Risk

Gains or losses related to foreign exchange currency transactions were not material for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Ite m 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 first quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

I tem 1A.
Risk Factors
 
Except as described below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. You should carefully consider the risks identified therein any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

We will need to raise additional capital, which may not be available when we need it.

Historically, we have met our short- and long-term cash needs through debt issuances, the sale of common stock or other convertible securities in private placements, because cash flow from operations has been insufficient to fund our operations.

We received gross proceeds of $9.3 million from the issuance of secured notes and warrants to a group of private investors in February 2008. We received net proceeds of $6.2 million and $4.9 million from the issuances of common stock to groups of private investors in February 2007 and September 2007, respectively. We believe that we will need to raise additional amounts before September 30, 2008 to continue development and launch commercialization of our next generation UWB products. The amount necessary will depend upon the results of ongoing UWB development efforts and 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. There can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to access equity or debt financings when we need it, our business will be substantially harmed.

Our future capital raising activities may dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders.

We may sell securities in the public and private equity markets if and when conditions are favorable.  Raising funds through the issuance of common stock will dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders.  Furthermore, we may issue common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock, at prices that represent a substantial discount to the market price of our common stock, which could result in a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

Currently we do not meet the requirements to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  If we are delisted, it could, among other things, decrease the liquidity of our common stock, limit our ability to raise additional capital and potentially accelerate the amounts due under our $20.8 million outstanding principal amount of senior secured notes at the option of the holders of such notes.

Our voting common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There are various quantitative listing requirements for a company to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, including maintaining a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share of common stock and stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million or market capitalization of at least $35 million. On August 15, 2007, the Nasdaq Stock Market notified us that for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share price requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. We were initially given until February 11, 2008 to regain compliance. On February 12, 2008, we were then advised of an additional six months extension or until August 11, 2008 to attain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market $1.00 minimum bid price rule. At March 31, 2008, we had total stockholders’ deficit of $753,000. If we do not maintain a market value in our securities of at least $35 million, we would likely receive an additional notification from the Nasdaq Capital Market that we were not in compliance with its continued listing criteria.

If we do not regain compliance with the continued listing requirements within the allotted compliance period (including the minimum bid price per share and the market capitalization requirement), including any extensions that may be granted by the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market would notify us that our common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, eliminating the only established trading market for our shares. While we would then be entitled to appeal this determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel and to request a hearing, if we fail at such hearing in our efforts to retain our listing, we would be delisted.


If we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, our shares may be quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board or some other quotation medium, such as the pink sheets, depending on our ability to meet the specific listing requirements of the specific quotation system and market makers willingness to quote our shares on either of these mediums. As a result, an investor might find it more difficult to trade, or to obtain accurate price quotations for, such shares. Delisting might also reduce our ability to raise capital as well as the visibility, liquidity, and price of our voting common stock. If our common stock were not listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States, all amounts outstanding under our $20.8 million senior secured notes would become due and payable at the option of the holders. We do not now have such capital, and we may not have sufficient resources or access to additional capital at the time such demand is made, to satisfy those note obligations at the time they would become due, which would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have a significant number of outstanding securities that will dilute existing stockholders upon conversion or exercise.
 
At April 30, 2008, we had 3,161 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, 31,255,785 warrants and 5,560,771 options outstanding which are all exercisable for or convertible into shares of common stock. The 3,161 shares of preferred stock are convertible into 3,161,000 shares of our voting common stock. Furthermore, at April 30, 2008, 2,642,771 additional shares of common stock were available for grant to our employees, officers, directors and consultants under our current stock option and incentive plans. We also may issue additional shares in acquisitions. Any additional grant of options under existing or future plans or issuance of shares in connection with an acquisition will further dilute existing stockholders.
 
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The warrant was issued pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act based on the nature of the investor and certain representations made to us. The warrant vests over a 10 month period and expires three years from the date of grant.
