NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared by XATA Corporation (the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto in its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008 and Annual Report to Shareholders filed with the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary GeoLogic Solutions, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue from sales of systems, software and related services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition , as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions , and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements .
The Company recognizes revenue under SOP 97-2 and SAB 104 when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (for example a signed agreement or purchase order), (ii) delivery has occurred, as evidenced by shipping documents or customer acceptance, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and payable within twelve months, and (iv) collectability is probable and supported by credit checks or past payment history.
With regard to arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company allocates revenue to the software and services elements based on the fair value of each element with the residual amount allocated to the systems revenue which is recognized upon delivery. The Company’s determination of fair value relating to the software and services elements in multiple-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. The Company has analyzed all of the elements included in its multiple-element arrangements and has determined that it has sufficient VSOE to allocate revenue to the services and software components of its arrangements. The Company sells its services

separately, and has established VSOE on this basis. VSOE for the software component is determined based upon the customer’s annual renewal rates for this element. Accordingly, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue from the software component is recognized ratably over the applicable term.
Agreements that do not meet the requirements described in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-03, Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware , to allow treatment under SOP 97-2, result in the recognition of all revenue ratably over the term of the agreement.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable and investment in sales-type leases receivable are due from companies with fleet trucking operations in a variety of industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required, although sales-type leases receivable are secured by a retained security interest in the leased equipment. Accounts receivable are typically due from customers within 30 days and are stated at amounts net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivables are past due, our previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company reserves for these accounts receivable by increasing bad debt expense when they are determined to be uncollectible. Payments subsequently received, or otherwise determined to be collectible, are treated as recoveries that reduce bad debt expense. The balance of the allowance accounts at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation
Certain amounts from the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications resulted from a detail review by management of the operating expenses of the Company and involved moving certain internal salaries and IT related costs from selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses to cost of sales and between operating expense categories. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss to common shareholders or shareholders’ equity. The reclassifications are shown below (in thousands):

Additionally, during fiscal year 2009, the Company determined that the previous accounting provided on the initial issuance of the Series B, C and D preferred stock did not reflect the value of the beneficial conversion feature as additional paid-in capital. The Company has made an adjustment within the equity section to properly reflect the carrying value of the respective issues of the preferred stock. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss to common shareholders.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments in overnight sweep and money market accounts. Cash and cash equivalents are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, sales-type lease receivables, accounts payable and debt obligations, approximate fair value.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods which are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the average cost method.
Investment in Sales-Type Leases
As the result of the acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc. on January 31, 2008, the Company acquired GeoLogic Solutions, Inc.’s investment in sales-type leases. The Company records the investment in sales-type leases at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. There is no guaranteed residual value associated with the leased devices. The receivables generally have terms of five years and are collateralized by a security interest in the related equipment. The Company records subscriber revenue on these leased devices as the ongoing service is provided over the term of the related lease

Debt Financing Costs
Debt financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related financing agreement on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. The net carrying value of the debt financing costs is approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million as of March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Purchased equipment and leased equipment under capital leases are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of approximately two to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term at the time of purchase or their estimated useful lives (one to seven years). Depreciation for income tax reporting purposes is computed using accelerated methods.

Capitalized Software Development Costs
Software development costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, (SFAS No. 86), Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed . Capitalized costs are amortized to cost of goods sold beginning when the product is first released for sale to the general public. Amortization is at the greater of the amount computed using the ratio of current gross revenues for the product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product (two to five years). As of March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008 there were no capitalized software development costs.
Software development costs that do not met the capitalization criteria of SFAS No. 86 are charged to research and development expense as incurred.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had a goodwill balance of $3.0 million that resulted from the Company’s acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc. on January 31, 2008. The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of net tangible and intangible assets acquired exceeds their fair value. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company will review goodwill for impairment at least annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has one reporting unit. The annual goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. First, the Company determines if the carrying value of its related reporting unit exceeds fair value, which would indicate that goodwill may be impaired. If the Company then determines that goodwill may be impaired, implied fair value of the goodwill is compared to its carrying amount to determine if there is an impairment loss. The Company completed this review in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and concluded that no impairment existed.
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the cost of identified intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their expected economic lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “ Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ,” the Company reviews intangible assets that have finite useful lives when an event occurs indicating the potential for earlier impairment. The Company reviews for impairment using facts or circumstances; either internal or external, indicating that it may not recover the carrying value of the asset. The Company measures impairment losses related to long-lived assets based on the amount by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceed their fair values. The Company measures fair value under SFAS No. 144, which is generally based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The Company’s analysis is based on available information and on assumptions and projections it considers to be reasonable and supportable. The cash flow analysis considers the likelihood of possible outcomes and is based on the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows. If necessary, the Company performs subsequent calculations to measure the amount of the impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the impaired assets.

Product Warranties
The Company sells its systems with a limited warranty, with an option to purchase extended warranties. The Company provides for estimated warranty costs in relation to the recognition of the associated revenue. Factors affecting the Company’s product warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its product warranty liability based on changes in these factors.
At March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008, the Company had accruals for product warranties of approximately $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued expenses on the Company’s balance sheet.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs, which are classified as a component of cost of goods sold, were approximately $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and $0.2 million for each of the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Customer billings related to shipping and handling fees are reported as systems revenue.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs consist primarily of ad campaigns, catalog brochures, promotional items and trade show expenses and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended

Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes following the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred income taxes be recognized for the future tax consequences associated with differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established by the Company when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the rate change occurs.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements . SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements but does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB No. 157,” which delays the effective date for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, except for items that are measured at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.
Business Combinations — Revised (SFAS 141R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) (revised 2007), Business Combinations . SFAS 141(R) replaces SFAS 141 and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, including goodwill, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The impact of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will depend on future acquisitions as there will be no impact on our existing financial position and results of operations.
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162)
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles . SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 became effective November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial position, operating results or cash flows.

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation
In February 2007 the Company adopted the 2007 Long Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (the 2007 Plan). The 2007 Plan permits the granting of “incentive stock options” meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and nonqualified options that do not meet the requirements of Section 422. Stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units may also be granted under the 2007 Plan. A total of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were originally reserved for issuance pursuant to equity awards under the 2007 Plan. Subsequently, 1,000,000 shares were approved for addition to the 2007 Plan at the 2009 Annual Shareholders Meeting.

Table of Contents

The 2007 Plan has an evergreen provision in which the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2007 Plan shall be cumulatively increased on January 1, 2008 and on each January 1 thereafter for nine years by the lesser of (i) 500,000 Common Shares, (ii) 3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, on an as-converted basis, as of the preceding December 31 and (iii) a number of Common Shares determined by the Board or Committee. The Company has 582,375 shares authorized and available for future equity awards as of March 31, 2009. Generally, the options that are granted under the 2007 Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant and vest over a period of up to three years from the date of grant.
Stock Options
The Company accounts for share-based employee compensation plans under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123(R)”), Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values.
The fair value of each option is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average fair value at the date of grant and the assumptions used to determine such values are indicated in the following table (number of shares in thousands):

Expected life (in years)
    5.95       3.70       5.73       3.70  
Dividend yield
                       
The Company estimates the volatility of the common stock at the date of grant based on a historical volatility rate, consistent with SFAS 123(R) and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107). The decision to use historical volatility was based upon the lack of traded common stock options. The expected term is estimated consistent with the simplified method identified in SAB 107, whose use was extended by Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110). The simplified method calculates the expected term as the average of the vesting and contractual terms of the award. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The fair value of stock options are amortized over the vesting period of the awards utilizing a straight-line method.

There were no options exercised during the three and six months ended March 31, 2009. Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 was $2,000. The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and stock options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2009 was $231,000 and $11,000, respectively.
On December 19, 2008, pursuant to and in accordance with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company extended the expiration date of all employee stock options previously issued under the 2007 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan and the 2002 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan from five years to ten years. No changes were made to any other terms of the stock options and the exercise prices remained the same. The total impact of this modification is that an additional $80,000 of compensation cost is being recognized ratably over the remaining vesting periods of the modified options.

Restricted Stock Awards
The Company grants restricted shares of common stock in addition to stock options and restricted stock units as part of its long-term incentive compensation to employees. The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock awards vests over a period of one to six years for employees and vests immediately for directors. Shares granted may be sold once vested.

credit facility is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. Interest is paid monthly in arrears, and the entire amount of any outstanding principal is due at maturity on January 30, 2011. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants which impose a minimum level of net worth and fixed charge coverage ratio.
Also in connection with the acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc., the Company entered into a four year secured credit facility consisting of an $8.0 million term loan with Partner’s for Growth II, L.P. (“PFG”) bearing interest at a fixed rate of 14.5%, subject to adjustment under various circumstances. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company must comply with financial covenants specifying minimum levels of net worth and fixed charge coverage ratio. The loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and is subordinate to the security interest of SVB. Interest is payable monthly, and the Company is required to make quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million beginning March 31, 2011 with the remainder of the unpaid principal due at maturity on January 31, 2012.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants related to the debt obligations.

Series B
In December 2003, the Company sold 1,613,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $4.1 million, or $2.54 per share. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The price per share of the Series B Preferred Stock and the conversion price for the common stock were equal to the “market value” of the common stock (as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the definitive agreements. The Series B Preferred Stock pays a cumulative dividend of 4% of the original issue price per annum (payable semi-annually) on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock rather than cash, at the option of the holders, and has a non-participating preferred liquidation right equal to the original issue price plus accrued unpaid dividends.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued 38,000 and 37,000 shares, respectively, of Series B Preferred Stock for payment of accrued dividends. Based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the dividend payment, the payment of the dividend in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock resulted in a non-cash dividend of $0.1 million for each of the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder at 100% of the original purchase price plus accrued and unpaid dividends at any time after five years from the date of issuance, or at any time if there is a significant adverse judgment against the Company, the Company defaults on its debts or files for bankruptcy, or in the event of a change of control. The Company may decline to redeem any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock at its sole option and discretion, and in such case the annual dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock will increase from 4% to 10%. The Company may redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at its option after five years from the date of issuance at the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends, if the market value of the common stock is at least three times the then effective conversion price for a specified period.
Series C
In September 2005, the Company sold 1,269,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $5.0 million, or $3.94 per share. Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The price per share of Series C Preferred Stock and the conversion price for the common stock is equal to the “market value” of the common stock (as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the definitive agreements. The Series C Preferred Stock does not pay a dividend, unless the Company declines to redeem the stock upon demand of the holders after an Acceleration Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock). In that case, the Series C Preferred Stock pays a cumulative dividend of 4% of the original issue price per annum on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock (payable in cash). The Series C Preferred Stock has a non-participating liquidation right equal to the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends which are senior to the Company’s common stock and junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at its option after five years from the date of issuance at the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends, if the market value of the common stock is at least three times the then effective conversion price for a specified period.
Series D
In June 2007, the Company sold 1,567,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for $6.0 million, or $3.83 per share. Each share of the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The price per share of Series D Preferred Stock and the conversion price for the common

Table of Contents

stock is equal to the “market value” of the common stock (as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the definitive agreements. The Series D Preferred Stock does not pay a dividend, unless the Company declines to redeem the stock upon demand of the holders after an Acceleration Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series D Preferred Stock). In that case, the Series D Preferred Stock pays a cumulative dividend of 4% of the original issue price per annum on each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock (payable in cash). The Series D Preferred Stock has a non-participating liquidation right equal to the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends which are senior to the Company’s common stock and junior to the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. The Company may redeem the Series D Preferred Stock at its option after five years from the date of issuance at the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends, if the market value of the common stock is at least three times the then effective conversion price for a specified period.
Series E
In February 2009, the Company sold 1,355,857 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for $3.0 million, or $2.22 per share. Each share of the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The price per share of Series E Preferred Stock and the conversion price for the common stock is equal to the “market value” of the common stock (as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the definitive agreements. The Series E Preferred Stock does not pay a dividend, unless the Company declines to redeem the stock upon demand of the holders after an Acceleration Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series E Preferred Stock). In that case, the Series E Preferred Stock pays a cumulative dividend of 4% of the original issue price per annum on each outstanding share of Series E Preferred Stock (payable in cash). The Series E Preferred Stock has a non-participating liquidation right equal to the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends which are senior to the Company’s common stock and junior to the Series B, Series C, and Series D Preferred Stock. The Company may redeem the Series E Preferred Stock at its option after five years from the date of issuance at the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends, if the market value of the common stock is at least three times the then effective conversion price for a specified period.
Additionally, the Company issued 7-year warrants to purchase 406,759 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $2.22 per share. Also in connection with the Series E Preferred Stock, the Company extended by two years the term of each common stock warrant issued on September 15, 2005 (in connection with the purchase of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock) and June 19, 2007 (in connection with the purchase of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock), so that such warrants are now exercisable until the seventh anniversary (instead of the fifth anniversary) of the original date of issuance. The aggregate fair value of the warrants was $535,000, of which $129,000 related to the modification of the Series C and Series D warrants. The warrants permit “cashless exercise.”
In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash deemed dividend of $484,000 relating to the beneficial conversion portion of the preferred stock. The beneficial conversion portion was determined by allocating the proceeds on a fair value basis between the preferred stock and the warrants. The amount of the deemed dividend was the difference between the deemed fair value of the Series E Preferred Stock and the purchase price on the date of the transaction. The deemed dividend was recorded as an addition to preferred stock with a corresponding increase to accumulated deficit. The addition was recognized at the date of issuance of the preferred stock, the same date at which the shares were eligible for conversion.
No broker or placement agent was involved in the placement of the Series E Preferred Stock and no commissions or other compensation was paid.

Table of Contents

As part of the execution and closing of the Series E Preferred Stock purchase, the Company and the purchasers also entered into an Exchange Agreement under which the Company was obligated to exchange all shares of the Series E Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of a new series of preferred stock of the Company (the “Series F Preferred Stock”). The Series F Preferred Stock is identical to the Series E Preferred Stock in all respects, except that its liquidation preference is senior to the Company’s existing series of preferred stock, whereas the Series E Preferred Stock’s liquidation preference was junior to the existing series of Preferred Stock. The Series F Preferred Stock was created, and then exchanged with the Series E Preferred Stock, only after the Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation that were necessary to allow for the Series F Preferred Stock to have a liquidation preference senior to the Company’s existing series of preferred stock. This approval occurred at the Special Shareholder’s Meeting on April 14, 2009. On April 15, 2009 the Company received assignment of all shares of Series E Preferred Stock from the purchasers and delivered to the purchasers and equal number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock. No Series E Preferred Stock remains outstanding after April 15, 2009.
Common Stock Warrants
The Company has issued warrants for the purchase of common stock to directors, executives, consultants and placement agents. Compensation expense associated with the warrants has not been material. The Company has also issued warrants as a component of preferred stock offerings and debt financing.

Note 8. Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Generally, diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other obligations to issue common stock such as options, restricted stock units, warrants or convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. However, diluted net loss per common share is equal to basic net loss per common share for all periods presented because the effect of including such securities or obligations would have been antidilutive.
Options, restricted stock units, and warrants to purchase a total of 4,106,728 and 3,350,786 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.33 and $4.33 were excluded for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, due to the Company incurring a net loss to common shareholders during these periods. The inclusion of these outstanding options, restricted stock

units, and warrants would have an antidilutive effect. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per common share amounts are the same for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Forward-looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Numerous factors, risks and uncertainties affect the Company’s operating results and could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from forecasts and estimates or from any other forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company, and there can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations, estimates or projections. Risks and uncertainties about us include, but are not limited to, the following:
    although we have generated operating income and net income recently, operating losses may occur in the future and may be in excess of amounts that could be funded from operations and thus we may be dependent upon external investment to support our operations during these periods;
 
    we will continue to be dependent upon positioning systems and communication networks owned and controlled by others, and accordingly, their problems may adversely impact us;
 
    for the foreseeable future, we are dependent upon the continued receipt and fulfillment of new orders for our current products;
 
    our growth and profitability depend on our timely introduction and market acceptance of new products, our ability to continue to fund research and development activities, and our ability to establish and maintain strategic partner relationships.
Further information regarding these and other risks is included in “Risk Factors” in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, in this Form 10-Q and in our other filings we make with the SEC.
Overview
XATA is one of the leading providers of fleet management solutions to the truck transportation industry. Our innovative technologies and value-added services are intended to enable customers to optimize the utilization of their assets and enhance the productivity of fleet operations across the entire supply chain, resulting in decreased costs, improved compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and enhanced customer service.
Over the past two decades, XATA has developed relationships with several of the nation’s largest fleets including CVS Pharmacy, Sysco, US Foodservice, Dean Foods, and Southeastern Freight Lines to find and develop technologies that provide information about their fleets and transform that data into actionable intelligence.
On January 31, 2008, XATA completed its acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc., which provides the commercial trucking industry with wireless asset management solutions in the for- hire segment of the over-the-road transportation sector. As the result of this acquisition, XATA now serves both the private fleet and for-hire segments.

Table of Contents

XATA pioneered innovations, such as learned standards and paperless driver logs. We engineer software that improves overall transportation operations and integrates fleet data with back-office billing, payroll and routing systems.
Technology, People, Processes
XATA takes a three-prong approach to meeting its customer’s fleet management needs:
    Technology. XATA provides a total fleet management solution, including systems, software and services. XATANET, our web-based, on-demand scalable software, includes a variety of web-based enterprise applications. As our flagship product, XATANET provides critical real-time information about our customers’ fleets, allows for paperless driver logs and provides summary and granular reports on driver and vehicle performance. XATANET can also integrate with back-office applications, for a seamless flow of information, and our software works with a variety of in-cab communications devices.
 
      MobileMax helps for-hire trucking companies track and manage nearly every aspect of their fleets’ activities to help control costs and increase return on investment. The MobileMax solution features Multi-Mode communication capabilities that automatically switch between land-based and satellite communications to take advantage of the cost-savings and reliability of both terrestrial and satellite communication. MobileMax integrates with dispatching and routing applications for a seamless flow of information.

With employee expertise in safety, fleet management and technology, XATA is able to provide consultation services to help organizations implement best practices for fleet productivity and develop specific customer hardware and reporting requirements.
 
    Processes. All XATA processes are designed to make managing fleets easier. Drawing on hundreds of successful implementations with a wide variety of fleets including multibillion-dollar organizations, XATA carefully plans each phase of the implementation and follows well established methodologies. The process begins with assessing our customers’ objectives. Then, we develop a detailed implementation schedule that includes all aspects of the project, from implementation to conversion, integration, training and problem solving.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of our financial statements and are based upon management’s current judgments. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly important because of their significance to the financial statements. Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods we use. The following is a discussion of what we believe to be the most critical of these policies and methods.
Revenue Recognition. The Company derives its revenue from sales of systems, software and related services, and from application service contracts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition , as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions , and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements .

26


Table of Contents

Software revenue is recognized under SOP 97-2 and SAB 104 when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (for example a signed agreement or purchase order), (ii) delivery has occurred, as evidenced by shipping documents or customer acceptance, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and payable within twelve months, and (iv) collectability is probable and supported by credit checks or past payment history.
With regard to software arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company allocates revenue to the software and services elements based on the relative fair value of each element with the residual amount allocated to the systems revenue which is recognized upon delivery. The Company’s determination of fair value relating to the software and services elements in multiple-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. The Company has analyzed all of the elements included in its multiple-element arrangements and has determined that it has sufficient VSOE to allocate revenue to the services and software components of its license arrangements. The Company sells its services separately, and has established VSOE on this basis. VSOE for the software component is determined based upon the customer’s annual renewal rates for this element. Accordingly, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue from the software component is recognized ratably over the applicable term.
Agreements that do not meet the requirements described in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-03, Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware , to allow treatment under SOP 97-2, result in the recognition of all revenue ratably over the term of the agreement.
Allowance for doubtful accounts. We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable and investment in sales-type leases receivable are due from companies with fleet trucking operations in a variety of industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required, although sales-type leases receivable are secured by a retained security interest in the leased equipment. Accounts receivable are typically due from customers within 30 days and are stated at amounts net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivables are past due, our previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. We reserve for these accounts receivable by increasing bad debt expense when they are determined to be uncollectible. Payments subsequently received, or otherwise determined to be collectible, are treated as recoveries that reduce bad debt expense.
Goodwill. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had a goodwill balance of $3.0 million that resulted from the Company’s acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc. on January 31, 2008. The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of net tangible and intangible assets acquired exceeds their fair value. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company will review goodwill for impairment at least annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has one reporting unit. The annual goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. First, the Company determines if the carrying value of its related reporting unit exceeds fair value, which would indicate that goodwill may be impaired. If the Company then determines that goodwill may be impaired, implied fair value of the goodwill is compared to its carrying amount to determine if there is an impairment loss. The Company completed this review in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and concluded that no impairment existed.

27


Table of Contents

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the cost of identified intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their expected economic lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “ Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ,” the Company reviews intangible assets that have finite useful lives when an event occurs indicating the potential for earlier impairment. The Company reviews for impairment using facts or circumstances; either internal or external, indicating that it may not recover the carrying value of the asset. The Company measures impairment losses related to long-lived assets based on the amount by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceed their fair values. The Company measures fair value under SFAS No. 144, which is generally based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The Company’s analysis is based on available information and on assumptions and projections it considers to be reasonable and supportable. The cash flow analysis considers the likelihood of possible outcomes and is based on the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows. If necessary, the Company performs subsequent calculations to measure the amount of the impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the impaired assets.
Product Warranties. The Company sells its systems with a limited warranty, with an option to purchase extended warranties. The Company provides for estimated warranty costs in relation to the recognition of the associated revenue. Factors affecting the Company’s product warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its product warranty liability based on changes in these factors. At March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008, the Company had accruals for product warranties of approximately $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued expenses on the Company’s balance sheet.
Capitalized software development costs . Software development costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, (SFAS No. 86), Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed . Capitalized costs are amortized to cost of goods sold beginning when the product is first released for sale to the general public. Amortization is at the greater of the amount computed using the ratio of current gross revenues for the product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product (two to five years). As of March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008 there were no capitalized development costs. Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenses include software development costs which have not met the capitalization criteria of SFAS No. 86.
Income taxes . Deferred income taxes are provided for using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the effects of taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
On October 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires application of a “more-likely-than-not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions. Under FIN 48, once the-more-likely-than-not threshold is met, the amount of benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. It further requires that a change in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions be recognized in earnings in the period of such a change. The impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements was not material and no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded to

the October 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit. In 2008, the Company recognized no tax benefit or liabilities for uncertainties related to prior and current year income tax positions, which were determined to be immaterial.

Software revenue, including monthly subscriptions from XATANET and monthly fees from MobileMax and OpCenter product lines, increased 45 percent to comprise 50 percent of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 48 percent for the same period in fiscal 2008. Software revenue increased 88 percent to comprise 52 percent of total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 44 percent for the same period in fiscal 2008.
Systems revenue, which includes hardware, warranty, repair, and activation revenue, increased 23 percent to comprise 41 percent of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 46 percent for the same period in fiscal 2008. Systems revenue increased 33 percent to comprise 39 percent of total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 47 percent for the same period in fiscal 2008.

Services revenue increased 56 percent and was approximately 9 percent of total revenue for each of the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
Cost of software . Cost of software consists primarily of communication, hosting costs, and direct personnel costs related to network and infrastructure support. Cost of software increased 40 percent to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2008 and increased 76 percent to $4.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $2.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2008. Software gross margin improved 1 and 2 percentage points for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 the same periods in fiscal 2008, respectively. This improvement was primarily driven by our ability to continue to leverage our existing cost structure.
Cost of systems . Cost of systems consists primarily of the direct product costs, warranty costs, product repair costs, and direct personnel costs related to customer support. Cost of systems increased 42 percent to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $4.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2008 and increased 50 percent to $10.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $6.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2008. Systems gross margins decreased 11 and 10 percentage points for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 versus the same periods in fiscal 2008, respectively. This decrease was primarily the result of declining systems sales prices.
Cost of services . Cost of services consists primarily of third party vendor costs and direct costs related to service personnel. Cost of services increased 48 percent to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2008 and increased 34 percent to $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2008. Service gross margins improved 25 and 11 percentage points for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 versus the same periods in fiscal 2008, respectively. This improvement was primarily the result of higher utilization of services personnel compared to the same periods of fiscal 2008.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries in our sales, client management and administration functions, sales commissions, marketing and promotional expenses, executive and administrative costs, and accounting and professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $5.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2008.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.7 million or 37 percent of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $9.0 million or 45 percent of revenue for the same period in fiscal 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses reflect an increase due to the addition of the GeoLogic Solutions, Inc. cost structure, including incremental amortization expense of $0.5 million related to intangible assets acquired with GeoLogic Solutions, Inc. As a percentage of revenue these costs continue to decline as a result of our ability to leverage this cost structure.
Research & Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist of employee salaries and expenses related to development of software and systems. Research and development expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2008.
Research and development expenses were $2.8 million or 9 percent of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $2.1 million or 11 percent of revenue for the same period in fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily due to the addition of the GeoLogic Solutions, Inc. cost structure, for which fiscal 2008 includes only costs for the two month period from the date of acquisition to March 31, 2008.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2008. Net interest expense was $0.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2008. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to borrowings of long-term debt related to the acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc.
Income Taxes
No income tax benefit or expense was recorded for the six month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 as the result of continued operating losses and the Company does not have objectively verifiable positive evidence of future taxable income as prescribed by SFAS No. 109 to support recognizing a deferred tax asset without a valuation reserve. We concluded that a full valuation allowance was appropriate. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income during the periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable could be increased in the future if we return to profitability and actual future taxable income is higher than currently estimated. At September 30, 2008, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $45.8 million.
The Company implemented the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 , effective October 1, 2007. The impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements was not material and no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded to the October 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit.
Net Loss to Common Shareholders
We incurred net losses to common shareholders of $0.4 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net loss to common shareholders reflect preferred stock dividends and preferred stock deemed dividends of $0.5 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009,

preferred stock deemed dividends reflect $0.5 million of cost associated with the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, we held $3.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and had working capital, which is total current assets less total current liabilities, of $4.3 million. This compared to $8.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and working capital of $8.1 million, as of September 30, 2008. The reduction in cash and working capital reflects a $9.5 million reduction in our long-term debt obligations offset by $2.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock.
Operating activities provided cash of $1.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2009 primarily the result of the collections on accounts receivable offset by reduced accrued expenses and increase in inventory, while operating activities used cash of $2.8 million during the same period in fiscal 2008.
Cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as the result of purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements.
Cash used in financing activities of $6.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 included borrowings on long-term debt of $18.1 million and $2.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock offset by payments on long-term debt of $27.6 million.
In connection with the financing of the acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc., the Company entered into a three-year secured credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) consisting of a $10.0 million revolving line of credit bearing interest at a floating rate equal to 0.5% over SVB’s Prime Rate. The credit facility is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. Interest is paid monthly in arrears, and the entire amount of any outstanding principal is due at maturity on January 30, 2011. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants which impose a minimum level of net worth and fixed charge coverage ratio. The balance as of March 31, 2009 was $0.5 million.
Also in connection with the acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc., the Company entered into a four year secured credit facility consisting of an $8.0 million term loan with Partner’s for Growth II, L.P. (“PFG”) bearing interest at a fixed rate of 14.5%, subject to adjustment under various circumstances. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company must comply with financial covenants specifying minimum levels of net worth and fixed charge coverage ratio. The loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and is subordinate to the security interest of SVB. Interest is payable monthly, and the Company is required to make quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million beginning March 31, 2011 with the remainder of the unpaid principal due at maturity on January 31, 2012.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants related to the debt obligations.
In addition to the preceding sources of financing, the Company also issued $1.8 million of debt obligations to the seller (the “Seller Notes”) in conjunction with the acquisition of GeoLogic Solutions, Inc. The Seller Notes and related accrued interest were paid in full in February 2009.
We believe our existing funds, debt facilities and vendor terms will provide adequate cash to fund operating needs for the foreseeable future. However, as debt facilities become due, it may be necessary to obtain additional external funding.
Our Series B Preferred Stock prohibits payment of dividends to the holders of any other capital stock

unless and until we have paid dividends accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock, which pays a cumulative dividend of 4% of the original issue price per annum (payable semi-annually) on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock. At the option of the Series B Preferred Stock holders, such dividends are payable in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock or cash. During the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we issued 38,000 and 37,000 shares, respectively, of Series B Preferred Stock for payment of accrued dividends. We are further restricted from dividend payments by our primary lender.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On March 31, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Rule 13a-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
