Notes
to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
March

1.
Summary
of Accounting Policies
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as at March 31,
2008, and the consolidated condensed statements of operations and cash flows
for
the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, include the accounts of Creative
Vistas, Inc. (“CVAS”), Creative Vistas Acquisition Corp. (“AC Acquisition”), AC
Technical Systems Ltd. (“AC Technical”), Cancable Holding Corp. (“Cancable
Holding”), Cancable Inc., , Cancable XL Inc., XL Digital Services Inc. (“XL
Digital”), 2141306 Ontario Inc., Iview Holding Corp. (“Iview Holding”), and
Iview Digital Solutions Inc. (“Iview DSI”). Intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of
management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary
for
a fair presentation of the results for and as of the periods shown. The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for such
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for 2008 or
for
any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with
the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on
Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities
and
Exchange Commission.
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts from the March 31, 2007, financial statements have been reclassified
to
conform to the current year’s presentation.
Liquidity
and going concern
Our
consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared using accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to
a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation
of
liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses of
$6,385,845 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and have an accumulated
deficit of $18,831,310
at
March
31, 2008. In addition, we have working capital and stockholder deficits of
$2,540,896 and $5,295,040 at March 31, 2008.
We
have
outstanding term loans aggregating $15,535,599, together with common stock
options and warrants, held by Laurus. We do not currently have the ability
to
repay the notes in the event of a demand by the holder. Furthermore, we granted
a security interest to Laurus in substantially all of our assets and,
accordingly, in the event of any default under our agreements with Laurus,
they
could conceivably attempt to foreclose on our assets, which could cause us
to
terminate our operations. Additionally, there were 49 shares of common stock
of
Cancable Holding issuable upon the exercise of options and 20 shares of common
stock of Iview Holding issuable upon the exercise of options to
Laurus.
Over
the
next twelve months the Company believes that its existing capital will be
sufficient to sustain its operations. Management plans to seek additional
capital in the future to fund operations, growth and expansion through
additional equity, debt financing or credit facilities. The Company has had
early stage discussions with investors about potential investment in the Company
at a future date. No assurance can be made that such financing would be
available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity.
In
either case, the financing could have a negative impact on our financial
condition and our shareholders. The Company has introduced cost cutting
initiatives within the Administration, Project and Selling departments to
improve efficiency within the Company and also improve cash flow. The Company
has also increased its rates for service provided by AC Technical by 20 percent
to improve gross margins. This is in line with our competitors. The Company
also
expects to see the benefits of its research and development efforts within
the
next 12 months as it starts to introduce its own line of customized products
to
the industry. These products and technologies are expected to improve gross
margins. The Company believes that it will be eligible for research and
development tax credits at year end for its research and development efforts
during the year and these are additional sources of cash flow for the Company.
The Company is also negotiating longer credit terms with its suppliers from
45
days to 60 to 75 days. For all the reasons mentioned above, we believe that
we
have adequate short term borrowing capability and that we will be able to
sustain our operations and continue as a going concern for a reasonable period
of time although there can be no assurance of this.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability
of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of materials and supplies and is stated at the lower of cost and market
value. Cost is generally determined on the first in, first out basis. The
inventory is net of estimated obsolescence, and excess inventory based upon
assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Inventory consists
principally of parts, materials and supplies

Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings
Per Share (FAS 128). Basic loss per share (“LPS”) is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted LPS
is
computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares
consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants
using the treasury stock method. An adjustment to earnings per share calculation
includes reversing the changes in derivative instruments. Dilutive common share
equivalents are not considered in periods when their effect is
antidilutive.

with
a Canadian chartered bank to provide for borrowings by its subsidiaries, AC
Technical and Cancable Inc. The credit facility for AC Technical and Cancable
was $500,000 and $1,500,000. Revolving credit loans bear interest at the bank’s
domestic rate plus 1.5% for Canadian dollar amounts. Interest is payable
monthly. The facilities are secured by an assignment of book debts, inventory,
certain other assets and life insurance. In April 2008, an amendment was made
to
the credit agreement to increase the maximum facility of Cancable to

up
to 49 shares of common stock of Cancable Holding (up to 49% of the outstanding
shares of Cancable Holding) at a price of $0.01 per share (the “Option”). The
loan is secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The
Cancable Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.75% with a minimum rate
of
seven percent. Interest accrued on the term note but was not payable until
February 1, 2006. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360 day year. The
minimum monthly payment on the term note is $81,726 commencing from October

stock of the Company (up to 7.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company)
at a
price of $0.01 per share (the “Warrant”) and Iview Holding issued to Laurus a
related option to purchase up to 20 shares of common stock of Holding (up to
20%
of the outstanding shares of Holding) at a price of $0.01 per share (the
“Option”). The loans are secured by all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
The
Company Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a minimum rate of
seven percent. Interest accrued on the term note but was not payable until
April
1, 2006. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360 day year. The minimum
monthly payment on the term note is $137,500 commencing March 1, 2007 to
February 1, 2009. $4,950,000 is payable on the maturity date. The Company has
issued warrants to purchase up to 1,404,000 shares of common stock of the
Company at a price from $0.90 to $2.73 per share to defer the principal
repayment from March 1, 2007 to March 1, 2008.
The
Iview
Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a minimum rate of seven

Shareholders’
(Deficit)
The
Company has total authorized share capital of 50,000,000 preferred shares,
no
par value and 100,000,000 common shares, no par value.
During
the period ended March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement
by issuing 222,414 common shares stock in consideration for investor relations
services rendered for 2008 with the fair value of $448,200. The expense in
the
amount of $93,641 was recorded under general and administrative expenses. The
remaining balance was recorded as deferred compensation. Additionally, the
Company issued 2,000 common shares to an employee for the exercise of the
employee stock options for cash aggregating $1,260.
Options
On
June
30, 2006, the Company granted 2,317,000 options to purchase a maximum of
2,317,000 shares of common stock to employees. The options allow the holders
to
buy the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.63 per share and expire on June
30, 2011. During the year 2007, the Company granted 1,226,000 options to
purchase common stock to employees. These options allow the holders to buy
the
Company’s common stock at a price between $0.90 to $2.59 which will expire in
2012.
The
Company’s Stock Option Plan is intended to provide incentives for key employees,
directors, consultants and other individuals providing services to the Company
by encouraging their ownership of the common stock of the Company and to aid
the
Company in retaining such key employees, directors, consultants and other
individuals upon whose efforts the Company’s success and future growth depends
and in attracting other such employees, directors, consultants and
individuals.
The
Plan
is administered by the Board of Directors, or its Compensation Committee. Under
the Plan, options on a total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued.
Shares of common stock covered by options which have terminated or expired
prior
to exercise are available for further options under the Plan. The maximum
aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan as
“incentive stock options” is 3,500,000 shares. No options may be granted under
the Plan after June 30, 2011; provided, however, that the Board of Directors
may
at any time prior to that date amends the Plan.
Options
under the Plan may be granted to key employees of the Company, including
officers or directors of the Company, and to consultants and other individuals
providing services to the Company. Options may be granted to eligible
individuals whether or not they hold or have held options previously granted
under the Plan or otherwise granted or assumed by the Company. In selecting
individuals for options, the Committee may take into consideration any factors
it may deem relevant, including its estimate of the individual’s present and
potential contributions to the success of the Company.
The
Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe the terms and conditions of the
options to be granted under the Plan, which terms and conditions need not be
the
same in each case, subject to the following:
a.
Option
Price. The price at which each share of common stock covered by an option
granted under the Plan may be purchased may not be less than the market value
per share of the common stock on the date of grant of the option. The date
of
the grant of an option shall be the date specified by the Committee in its
grant
of the option, which date will normally be the date the Committee determines
to
make such grant.
b.
Option
Period. The period for exercise of an option shall in no event be more than
five
years from the date of grant. Options may, in the discretion of the Committee,
be made exercisable in installments during the option period.
c.
Exercise
of Options. For the purpose of assisting an Optionee to exercise an option,
the
Company may make loans to the Optionee or guarantee loans made by third parties
to the Optionee, on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may
authorize. In no event shall any option be exercisable more than five years
from
the date of grant thereof.
d.
Lock-Up
Period. Without the consent of the Company, an Optionee may not sell more than
fifty percent of the shares issued under the Plan for a period of two years
from
the date that the Optionee exercises the option. The Committee may impose such
other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, on
the
grant or exercise of options, as it deems advisable.
The
fair
value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model, using the assumptions noted in the
following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility
of
the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to
estimate employee termination within the valuation model. Because the Company
has not previously granted options to employees, for purposes of the valuation
model, the Company has assumed that the life of the options will be equal to
one-half of the combined vesting period and contractual life (i.e., that
employees will exercise the options at the midpoint between the vesting and
expiry date of the options). The risk-free rates used to value the options
are
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
At
March
31, 2008 options to purchase 3,194,000 shares of common stock were outstanding.
These options vest ratably in annual installments, over the four year period
from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2008, there was $1,249,120 of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation
arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized
over
the four year vesting period. 496,500 options were vested as of March 31, 2008.
The cost recognized for the period end March 31, 2008 was $101,353
(2007:$31,765) which was recorded as general and administrative
expenses.

Warrants
We
use
the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value warrants issued to
non-employees, based on the market price of our common stock at the time the
warrants are issued. All outstanding warrants may be exercised by the holder
at
any time. During the period ended March 31, 2008, in connection with financing
and acquisition arrangements, the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,674,103
shares of common stock. The fair value of the warrants of $6,470,357 was
measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following
assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.18% to 4.44%, expected dividend yield
of 0%, volatility of 45%, share price of $0.01 to $2.84 and expected life of
4
to 50 years.

Management's
Discussion And Analysis
of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Unaudited)
The
following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto. The following discussion contains certain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed therein. Factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties
related to the need for additional funds, the rapid growth of the operations
and
our ability to operate profitably a number of new projects. Except as required
by law, we do not intend to publicly release the results of any revisions to
those forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events
or circumstances.
Results
of Operations
Comparison
of Three Months Period Ended March 31, 2008
to
Period Ended March 31, 2007
For
purposes of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation”, we
compared the three month period ended March 31, 2008, to the comparable period
in 2007.
Sales
:
Sales
for the three month period ended 2008 increased 38% to $10,781,400 from
$7,793,600 for the three months period ended 2007. The increase in revenue
was
mainly due to the increase in service revenue of Cancable Segment to $8,871,900
for the three month period ended 2008 from $6,136,500 for the same period in
2007.
(a)
Cancable Segment - This segment includes Cancable Inc., XL Digital and OSS-IM
View (collectively, “Cancable Group”). The principal activity is provisioning
the deployment and servicing of broadband technologies in both residential
and
commercial markets. The Cancable Group’s service offering, network deployment,
IT integration, and support services, enable the cable television and
telecommunications industries to deliver a high quality broadband experience
to
their customers. In October 2007, we acquired XL Digital which is incorporated
under the laws of Ontario and with the same principal business activity of
Cancable Inc. XL Digital, with over 70 employees, provides its deployment and
provisioning services for Rogers Cable Inc. within two territories where the
Company did not have a presence.
Total
revenue of this segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $8,871,900
from
$6,136,500 for the same period in fiscal 2007. The increase reflects continued
growth in revenue, particularly with the business from Rogers Cable Inc. We
continued to allocate resources to support the growth of our business. During
the first quarter of fiscal 2008, Cancable signed a multi-year contract with
one
of the largest cable and media companies in the United States. Under the terms
of the contract, Cancable will perform installation, customer service and
fulfillment for this multi-billion dollar cable and media conglomerate in
Charlotte, North Carolina and surrounding communities. Total revenue generated
in the United States was $280,000 for the period ended March 31,
2008.
Rogers
Cable Inc. is Cancable Group’s largest customer and the revenue from this
customer for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was approximately $6,508,100
or
73.4% of its total Cancable revenue compared to $4,457,800 or 72.6% for the
three months ended March 31, 2007. (b) AC Technical segment - Total revenue
of
AC Technical segment was $1,846,800 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008
compared to $1,630,700 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Contract
revenue increased to $1,479,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2008
compared to $1,327,200 for the same period of fiscal 2007. This increase was
mainly due to an increase in the number of subcontracts for the provision of
services to government and commercial contracts. The service revenue has
increased to $420,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $317,400
for the same period of fiscal 2007. Service revenue primarily represents the
cumulative effect of the growth in contracts and number of customers over the
past few years. We have experienced a significant increase in the number of
inquiries for systems from the government and retail sector. This increased
interest in security products and services may result in our achieving increased
revenues in future periods if we are successful in attracting new customers or
obtaining additional projects from existing customers. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to attract new customers.
Cost
of Goods Sold
:
Cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2008
was $8,307,900 or 77.1% of revenues compared to $5,531,700 or 71.0% of revenues
for the three months period ended March 31, 2007. The increase in cost of sales
and a percentage of sales resulted principally from the increase in service
revenue from $6,453,900 for the three months period ended March 31, 2007 to
$9,291,980 for the three months period ended March 31, 2008. (a) Cancable
segment - Cost of sales of this segment was $7,407,200 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008, which is comprised principally of labor expenses
$5,589,700, vehicle expenses $705,350 and material cost $539,800. The increase
in cost of sales is primarily due to the revenue growth discussed above. (b)
AC
Technical segment - Cost of sales of this segment was $864,900. The material
cost was $591,900 or 32.1% of the AC Technical revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 compared to $596,700 or 36.6% of revenues in the same
period of fiscal 2007. The decrease in percentage of the material cost was
mainly due to some contracts having less material needs.
On
the other hand, the labor and subcontractor cost decreased to $264,100 or 14.3%
of AC Technical revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $296,900
or 18.2% of AC Technical revenues for fiscal 2007. The decrease in labor and
subcontractor cost was mainly due to the increase in efficiency.

:
Project, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended
March 31, 2008 was $4,126,900 or 38.3% of revenues for the three months ended

the salaries and benefits of indirect staff amounting to $208,700 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $157,800 for the same period of fiscal 2007.
The increase was mainly due to the increase in headcounts. The automobile and
travel expenses were approximately $65,900 for the three months ended March
31,
2008 compared to $64,600 for the same period of fiscal 2007. There was no
material fluctuation of percentage in automobile and travel

to $175,800 or 2.3% of revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Selling
expenses were mainly related to AC Technical segment. As at March 31, 2008,
we
have 5 salespersons in AC Technical segment, compared to 4 salespersons as
at
March 31, 2007. The balance for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is mainly
comprised of salaries and commission to salespersons of $174,500 compared to
$129,600 for the same period of fiscal 2007. The increase was mainly due to
the
increase in headcounts. The advertising and promotion and trade show expenses
were $28,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $35,300 for the
same period of fiscal 2007 with no material fluctuation.

compared to $57,000 for the same period last year. Total salaries and benefits
to administrative staff were $1,086,300 for the first quarter of 2008 compared
to $577,000 for the same period last year. Total depreciation of property plant
and equipment was $500,900 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to
$345,300 for the same period of last year. The increase in balance was mainly
due to the increase in property, plant and equipment.

$4,732,400 or 44% of revenues compared to net expenses of $585,600 or 7.5%

period is primarily comprised of the amortization of deferred charges amounting
to $44,200 compared to $45,300 for the same period of fiscal 2007. Additionally,
net financing expenses increased to $4,432,900 or 41.1% of revenues compared
to
$559,200 or 7.2% of revenues for the same period of fiscal 2007. During the
three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company entered into two financing
arrangements in which the Company has issued 2,030,865 warrants with a value
of
$3,723,600. The interest due with respect to the Company’s credit facility was
$318,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $425,200 in
the
same period of 2007. The decrease in the balance was due to the decrease in
outstanding payables of the term notes from $16,616,300 as at March 31, 2007
to
$15,535,600 as at March 31, 2008.
Income
taxes
:
No
income tax was paid for the period ended March 31, 2008, which was mainly due
to
the Company’s losses carried forward to offset all income generated by the
Company. All prior taxes have already been accounted for in the income tax
recoverable and therefore, there is no additional provision for income taxes
recoverable and deferred tax asset.
Net
Income/Loss
:
Net
loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $6,385,800 compared to net
loss of $532,100 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The Company’s
operating loss was $1,653,500 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared
to
operating income of $53,000 for the same period of fiscal 2007. The loss was
primarily attributed to the financing transactions in January 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
our
inception, we have financed our operations through bank debt, loans and equity
from our principals, loans from third parties and funds generated by our
business. At March 31, 2008, we had $1,215,800 in cash. We believe that cash
from operations and our credit facilities with our banks will continue to be
adequate to satisfy the ongoing working capital needs of the Company. During
fiscal year 2008, our primary objectives in managing liquidity and cash flows
will be to ensure financial flexibility to support growth and entry into new
markets and improve inventory management and to accelerate the collection of
accounts receivable.
Net
Cash Used in Operating Activities
.
Net
cash used in operating activities amounted to $399,800 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008. The changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted
in a use of cash of $1,055,999, which included a $543,400 decrease in accounts
receivable, a $187,100 decrease in inventory, a $626,600 increase in prepaid
expenses, a $438,700 increase in accounts payable, a $182,100 decrease in income
tax recoverable and a $37,100 increase in deferred revenue.
Comparison
of the balance sheet as at March 31, 2008 to December 31, 2007
Accounts
Receivable
Our
accounts receivable decreased by approximately $767,800 compared to the balance
as at December 31, 2007. Accounts receivable of Cancable segment were
$3,400,800 as at March 31, 2008 compared to $3,989,100 as at December 31, 2007.
Accounts
receivable of AC Technical segment was $1,908,400 as at March 31, 2008 compared
to $2,083,200 as at December 31, 2007.
The
decrease in balance was mainly due to the timing of payments from our customers.
Inventory
Inventory
on
hand at
March 31, 2008 was $870,100 compared to $1,043,800 as at December 31, 2007.
The
inventory of the Cancable segment as at March 31, 2008 was $173,700 compared
to
$363,600 as at December 31, 2007. There was no material fluctuation from the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The inventory of AC Technical segment
as at
March 31, 2008 was $382,700 compared to $638,900 as at December 31, 2007. The
level of inventory was higher as we had purchased the inventory as at December
31, 2007 for jobs the Company began to work on during the first quarter of
2008.
Accounts
Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Accounts
payable increased to approximately $6,326,600 as at March 31, 2008 from
$6,074,200 as at December 31, 2007. The increase was mainly due to the timing
of
payments to our suppliers.
Deferred
Revenue
Deferred
revenue increased to $124,300 as at March 31, 2008 compared to $91,900 the
balance as at December 31, 2007. This increase was mainly due to the timing
of
payments by our customers. Deferred revenue primarily relates to payments
associated with contracts in which revenue is recognized on a percentage of
completion basis.
Incomes
Taxes Recoverable
The
decrease in income taxes recoverable was mainly due to the Company’s receipt of
a refund from the Government relating to the losses carried back to prior years
and investment tax credits.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities
.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $861,200 for the three months ended March
31, 2008, compared to $5,781 used for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The
balance for both periods was mainly due to the purchase of property and
equipment of the Company and offset by the sale proceeds from the sale of
property and equipment. For the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the
Company has paid $300,000 for the acquisition of XL Digital.
Net
Cash Provided From Financing Activities
.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $464,400 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared to net cash used of $394,300 for the three months ended
March 31, 2007. Last year’s balance mainly represents the repayment of capital
leases and term notes in the amount of $573,400. The current year balance
represents net proceeds received from new banking facilities set up with a
Canadian financial institution in the amount of $1,043,000. The balance was
offset with the repayment of term notes and capital leases in the amount of
$632,600.
Our
capital requirements have grown since our inception with the growth of our
operations and staffing. We expect our capital requirements to continue to
increase in the future as we seek to expand our operations. On September 30,
2004, we obtained funding through a series of agreements with Laurus. In 2006,
through our wholly owned subsidiary, we
acquired
all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and any other equity
interests of Cancable. Simultaneously, Cancable entered into a series of
agreements with Laurus whereby Cancable issued to Laurus a secured term note
(the “Cancable Note”) in the amount of $6,865,000. We completed a refinancing
transaction with Laurus in February 2006;
we
issued
to Laurus a secured term note (the “Company Note”) in the amount of $8,250,000
and Iview DSI issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Iview Note”) in the
amount of $2,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of this refinancing
transaction, we paid off the entire outstanding principal amount and all
obligations due to Laurus under the Secured Convertible Term Note dated
September 30, 2004, the Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note dated
September 30, 2004 and the Secured Revolving Note dated September 30, 2004
(collectively, the “2004 Notes”) and such 2004 Notes were subsequently
cancelled.
Over
the
next twelve months we believe that our existing capital will be sufficient
to
sustain our operations. Management plans to seek additional capital in the
future to fund operations, growth and expansion through additional equity,
debt
financing or credit facilities. We have had early stage discussions with
investors about potential investment in our firm at a future date. No assurance
can be made that such financing would be available, and if available it may
take
either the form of debt or equity. In either case, the financing could have
a
negative impact on our financial condition and our shareholders.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This
standard establishes a standard definition for fair value, establishes a
framework under generally accepted accounting principles for measuring fair
value and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This
standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007.
Adoption
of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on our financial
position or results of operations
.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 158,
“Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans, an amendment of FASB Statement Nos. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R
)
,”
or FAS 158. This Statement requires an employer that is a business entity and
sponsors one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to (a) recognize
the
funded status of a benefit plan—measured as the difference between plan assets
at fair value (with limited exceptions) and the benefit obligation—in its
statement of financial position; (b) recognize, as a component of other
comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs
or
credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of
net
periodic benefit cost pursuant to FAS 87,
Employers’
Accounting for Pensions
,
or FAS 106,
Employers’
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
;
(c) measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the
employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position (with limited
exceptions); and (d) disclose in the notes to financial statements additional
information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next
fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior
service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations. An employer
with
publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required
disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006.
This statement is not expected to have a significant effect on our financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued
Financial
Accounting Standard No. 159
The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
or FAS
159. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of
this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option.
The
following are eligible items for the measurement option established by this
Statement:
1.
|
Recognized
financial assets and financial liabilities
except:
|
a.
|
An
investment in a subsidiary that the entity is required to
consolidate
|
b.
|
An
interest in a variable interest entity that the entity is required
to
consolidate
|
c.
|
Employers’
and plans’ obligations (or assets representing net overfunded positions)
for pension benefits, other postretirement benefits (including health
care
and life insurance benefits), post employment benefits, employee
stock
option and stock purchase plans, and other forms of deferred compensation
arrangements.
|
d.
|
Financial
assets and financial liabilities recognized under leases as defined
in
FASB Statement No. 13,
Accounting
for Leases.
|
e.
|
Deposit
liabilities, withdrawable on demand, of banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, and other similar depository
institutions
|
f.
|
Financial
instruments that are, in whole or in part, classified by the issuer
as a
component of shareholder’s equity (including “temporary equity”). An
example is a convertible debt security with a noncontingent beneficial
conversion feature.
|
2.
|
Firm
commitments that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and
that
involve only financial instruments
|
3.
|
Nonfinancial
insurance contracts and warranties that the insurer can settle by
paying a
third party to provide those goods or
services
|
4.
|
Host
financial instruments resulting from separation of an embedded
nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid
instrument.
|
The
fair
value option:
1.
|
May
be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such
as
investments otherwise accounted for by the equity
method
|
2.
|
Is
irrevocable (unless a new election date
occurs)
|
3.
|
Is
applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of
instruments.
|
The
Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning
of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity
also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements
.
We have
not yet determined what effect, if any, adoption of this Statement will have
on
our financial position or results of operations
.
FIN
48 -
‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’
In
June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 48
prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure,
present and disclose uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken
on a
tax return. Under FIN 48, we shall initially recognize tax positions in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be
sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. We shall initially and
subsequently measure such tax positions as the largest amount of tax benefit
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement
with
the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant
facts. FIN 48 also revises disclosure requirements to include an annual tabular
roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits. We will adopt this interpretation
as
required in 2007 and will apply its provisions to all tax positions upon initial
adoption with any cumulative effect adjustment recognized as an adjustment
to
retained earnings.
Adoption
of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on our financial
position or results of operations.
EITF
00-19-2, "Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements".
In
December 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position FSP EITF 00-19-2, "Accounting
for
Registration Payment Arrangements". This statement is effective for existing
registration payment arrangements as of January 1, 2007, with earlier
application permitted in previously-unissued financial statements. As discussed
in Note 8 and as permitted by the FSP, we adopted the provisions of this FSP
in
our fourth quarter of 2006, resulting in re-classification of certain of our
outstanding warrants from derivative instrument liabilities to
equity.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will
become effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year beginning
after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if
any,
of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

DISCUSSION
OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical
accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to
the
portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to
make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We
have identified six critical accounting estimates: accounts receivable
allowances, goodwill, revenue, inventory, accounting for income taxes and
financial instruments. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007,
for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.
CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
quarterly report contains forward-looking statements about our company that
are
not historical facts but, rather, are statements about future expectations.
When
used in this document, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,”
“intends,” “should” and similar expressions as they relate to us, or to our
management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However,
forward-looking statements in this document are based on management’s current
views and assumptions and may be influenced by factors that could cause actual
results, performance or events to be materially different from those projected.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and
uncertainties. Important factors, some of which are beyond our control, could
cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those
in
the forward-looking statements. These factors include impact of general economic
conditions in North America, changes in laws and regulations, fluctuation in
interest rates and access to capital markets.
Our
actual results or performance could differ materially from those expressed
in,
or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, we cannot
predict whether any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements
will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what impact they will have on
our
results of operations and financial condition.
For
further information about these and other risks, uncertainties and factors,
please review the disclosure included in our December 31, 2007, Annual Report
on
Form 10-K under the caption “Risk Factors.”
You
should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as
otherwise required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or risk factors,
whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances
or
any other reason after the date of this quarterly report.

Controls
and Procedures
We
maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed
to
provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us
in
the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
We
have
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation
of
the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the des
ign
and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation
and subject to the foregoing
,
the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report, in all material respects, to ensure that required information will
be
disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the Exchange
Act.
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply their judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible
controls and procedures.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or
are
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
