PART
I
ITEM
1.
BUSINESS - GENERAL
DataMetrics
Corporation (the “Company”), which commenced operations in 1962, is a
manufacturer of ruggedized information technology equipment, including
computers, printers, workstations, monitors and chassis & enclosures, which
are designed to work in harsh environments. The U.S. Military, major defense
prime contractors, international military forces, commercial aviation, and
heavy
industry, such as mining, nuclear power generation, and oil & gas
exploration, are the principal end-users of the Company’s products. The Company
is primarily a customer driven, application-specific solutions provider. The
Company has a core competency in the art and science of “ruggedization” that is
at the base of everything it does.
While
the
specifics of “ruggedization”
takes
many forms, from strict MIL-specs to varied industrial requirements, its core
competency can best be described by this definition: The Company market focus
is
the sale, design, development, and manufacture of electronic products into
industries/applications where the readily-available commercial/industrial grade
product would be subject to conditions/requirements that would render it
ineffective or impractical for the user. The Company takes existing technology
and applies “ruggedization” techniques to substantially increase life and/or
usability in adverse user-defined conditions.
The
Company has been in a multi-year transformation in an effort to refocus its
core
competencies. During this transformation process, it has made forays into new
markets. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 approximately 50% of
its
revenues came from military/defense applications. The Global War on Terror
and
other military operations continue to have a significant effect on the Company’s
business. While much of the increase in the spending by the United States
Department of Defense (the “DoD”) is in troop deployment and reconstruction, the
Company has seen an increase in opportunities that are consistent with its
activities. While there is no guarantee that these programs will be funded
or
that the Company will be the selected provider, it is an indicator of a shift
in
the focus of the DoD. The long design cycle for these programs creates an
intangible cost in the form of rapid technological obsolescence. Some military
programs that would have sought militarized equipment some years ago have
modified the requirements to reflect a need for rugged or commercial products.
This trend has tended to benefit sales of its rugged product line while
impacting its sale of “ultra-rugged” MIL-spec equipment.
The
Company has also made successful inroads into other industries which the Company
hopes can benefit from its “ruggedization” core competency. For example, the
Company designs, develops, and manufactures computers and peripheral equipment
for mining, oil & gas exploration, nuclear power generation, and aggregate
dredging, where reliable operation of the equipment in challenging environments
is imperative.
BUSINESS
STRATEGY
The
Company’s goal is to continually improve its position as a supplier of
ruggedized systems and equipment. Our strategies to achieve our objectives
include:
|
·
|
Leverage
Incumbent Relationships. We intend to leverage our relationships
with
government and industry decision-makers by continuing to deliver
high
levels of performance on our existing contracts. Our experience has
shown
that strong performance on existing contracts greatly enhances our
ability
to obtain additional business with our existing customer base. To
accomplish this, we intend to continue to position ourselves as a
“best
value” provider for our customers. “Best value” is a DoD contracting theme
which focuses supplier selection on a variety of criteria, including,
but
not limited to, suppliers’ past performance, rather than exclusively based
on price.
|
| · |
Develop
and Expand Existing Technologies. Through
a combination of customer-funded research and development and our
own
internal research and development efforts, we intend to continue
to focus
on the further development of our products. Customer-funded development
contracts enable us to work with our customers to design and manufacture
new systems and components, while decreasing our financial
risk.
|
The
Company primarily uses a direct sales approach in the United States with several
independent representatives in key areas. Internationally, the Company uses
manufacturers’ representatives in key areas of Europe, Latin America and the Far
East.
The
Company strives to have its customers absorb most of the Company’s research and
development and Non-Recurring Expenses (NRE). Despite limited resources, the
Company makes a modest investment in research and development. This investment
is not considered material at this time, though the impact for these products,
such as commercial off-the-shelf (“COTS”) chassis and rugged mobile computers
could be significant.
The
Company’s commercial airline business unit continues to expand sales volume of
its on-board electronic flight bag (EFB) computer which was introduced in 1996.
In addition the Company has been sought out by airframe manufacturers to provide
a new generation of products. As one of three main manufacturers of FAA
certified printers in the world, the Company seeks to garner a greater market
share in fiscal year 2008 by updating its current products to the current ARINC
standards. The Company will invest to expand its product offering in fiscal
year
2008 and provide technology updates to its current product offering.
COMPETITION
The
primary business of the Company is the design and manufacture of
application-specific products for military/defense applications and programs.
As
such, the Company is often an exclusive provider of goods and services. The
Company focuses on collaborating with its customers for products that meet
applications rather than marketing specific products. As such, the company’s
success is much more dependant on its collaborative efforts with its customers
as opposed to bidding against competitors. Overall, because of the breadth
of
the Company’s product line, the Company competes with different companies for
various products. For its chassis’ the Company competes with ELMA, Hybricon, AP
Labs and Carlo Gavazzi. The Company competes with Barco and DRS for monitors
and
with Miltope for printers. In its industrial offering, the Company competes
with
JLT Mobile Computing and a host of rack-mounted computer manufacturers.
The
Company's competitive position in its market segments have been guided by the
experience of its technical personnel in their respective specialized fields
of
Rugged computer and peripheral product design; its broad range of products;
its
ability to design and manufacture its products to meet customers'
specifications; its specialized manufacturing and testing facilities; its long
association with many of its customers and its managerial and marketing
expertise in dealing with commercial customers, prime Military/Defense
contractors and the DoD. The Company believes that once a particular supplier's
computer and/or peripheral products have been selected for incorporation in
a
military or commercial program, further competition by other vendors during
the
life cycle of that program is limited.
The
extent of competition for any single project generally varies according to
the
complexity of the product and the dollar value of the anticipated award. The
Company believes that it competes on the basis of:
| · |
Its
“closeness to the customer”; a cultural belief in building strong customer
loyalty
through personal contact and professional
attentiveness;
|
| · |
Accumulated
technical knowledge and expertise;
|
| · |
The
performance, flexibility, and price of its
products;
|
| · |
Reputation
for prompt and responsive contract performance;
and
|
| · |
Breadth
of its product lines.
|
The
success of the Company will largely depend upon its ability to leverage business
within our existing customer base, establish new customers in both new and
existing markets, and identify new program opportunities early enough to be
in
on the “ground floor”.
SOURCES
OF SUPPLY
The
Company is generally not dependent upon any one supplier for any raw material
or
component we purchase. There are available alternative sources for such raw
materials and components which help the Company maintain its costs.
SIGNIFICANT
CUSTOMERS AND MATTERS CONCERNING DOD BUSINESS
Most
of
the customers for the Company's products are the DoD and prime contractors
operating under programs funded by the DoD. Because the Company's products
are
intended to function as subsystems, they are sold to customers which
manufacture, sell or use data processing or data communication systems which
utilize a processing, printing, recording or data entry function for which
the
Company's products are suited. While the Company may be a subcontractor on
a
government program with an aggregate budget of billions of dollars extending
over as long as a ten-year period, the Company's share of the budget for any
major program is relatively small, generally 1-10% of the budget, depending
on
the scope.
INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS
The
Company's policy is to obtain appropriate proprietary rights protection for
any
potentially significant new technology acquired or developed by the Company.
The
Company has a trademark registration covering its "DmC"(R) logo and for the
Condor and Harrier printer products.
In
addition, the Company relies on copyright and trade secret laws to protect
its
proprietary rights. The Company attempts to protect its trade secrets and other
proprietary information through agreements with customers and suppliers,
proprietary information agreements with the Company's employees and consultants
and other similar measures. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company
will be successful in protecting its trade secrets and other proprietary
information.
While
management believes that the Company's trademarks, and other proprietary
know-how have significant value, changing technology and COTS initiatives within
the DoD, makes the Company's future success dependent principally upon its
employees' technical competence and creative skills for continuing innovation
and ability to adapt to the needs of its customers.
DEFENSE
INDUSTRY
Contracts
with the U.S. government as well as with U.S. government prime contractors
are
typically at a fixed price with a delivery cycle of 3 to 12 months. Contracts
under any particular program are being subject to further funding and
negotiation. The Company's defense contracts contain customary provisions
permitting termination at any time at the convenience of the customer and
providing for payment for work-in-progress should the contract be
canceled.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, the Company's largest customers were
the
U.S. Government, Lockheed Martin and American Airlines which accounted for
52%
of sales. The loss of any one of these customers could have a material adverse
impact on the Company’s operations and financial condition. The Company believes
that it has a good reputation with its customers for quality and delivery of
its
products and services.
Companies
that are engaged primarily in supplying equipment and services, directly or
indirectly, to the U.S. government are subject to special risks including
dependence on government appropriations, termination without cause, contract
re-negotiation and competition for the available DoD business.
The
Company believes that it will benefit from a trend of increasing DoD budget
forecasts and spending. The Company's DoD related contracts provide the DoD
the
right to audit the Company's cost records and are subject to defective pricing
regulation. Management does not believe that it has any material exposure of
this sort on any such contracts. Accordingly, no provisions have been made
in
the Company's accounts in connection with defective pricing
regulation.
SERVICE
Pursuant
to maintenance agreements, repair orders or warranty provisions, the Company
generally services its printers with its own employees at its facility. The
Company sells in-house, non-warranty repairs and maintenance service. For both
military and commercial products, the Company's standard warranty period is
ninety days, although longer warranty periods are available for an additional
charge.
The
Company also sells spare parts and documentation, such as handbooks, operational
manuals, schematics and other technical data to assist its customers in
maintaining their own equipment.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT
For
the
year ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, we have incurred approximately $139,987
and $40,401 respectively for research and development.
BACKLOG
The
Company's backlog of funded orders not yet recognized as revenue at October
31,
2007 and October 31, 2006 was approximately $1,176,515 and $1,870,390
respectively. Seventy nine percent (79%) of the backlog at October 31, 2006
was
realized during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. In fiscal year 2008,
the
Company hopes to realize the majority of this backlog as revenue.
MARKETING
The
Company has an in-house marketing group that is comprised of experienced
technical professionals who are familiar with the government agencies and
companies that comprise our target markets. The Company also uses independent
manufacturer sales representatives where it is deemed applicable and cost
effective, both domestically and abroad.
HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS, GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The
Company’s operations necessarily involve the controlled use of hazardous
materials and chemicals which are subject to various federal, state and local
laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. Management
believes the Company is in compliance with all material aspects of such rules
and safety procedures for handling and disposing of such materials; however,
the
risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be
completely eliminated. Compliance has not had a material effect upon capital
expenditures, earnings or the Company’s competitive position.
EMPLOYEES
The
Company employed 32 persons on a full-time basis as of October 31, 2007,
compared to 28 persons on a full-time basis as of October 31, 2006. None of
our
employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we
experienced a strike or other adverse work stoppage due to organized labor.
Management is not aware of any efforts by employees or outside organizers to
create any type of labor union. Management believes that the employer/employee
relationship environment is such that labor organization activities are unlikely
to occur.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On
November 5, 2007, Duos Technologies, Inc. filed a case in circuit court in
Duval
County, Florida against the Company, and its former President, Daniel Bertram.
Duos claims damages of $90,000 which was paid to the Company pursuant to a
letter of intent in 2007. Duos is proceeding on four separate counts: (1) breach
of contract, (2) fraud in the inducement, (3) negligent misrepresentation and
(4) unjust enrichment. The Company disputes these claims and believes them
to be
without merit. The Company is contesting the action, but there can be no
assurance as to the outcome of the litigation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
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 risk and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed herein. 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 after the initial growth period is completed.
We undertake no obligation 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
Fiscal
Year 2007 Compared With Fiscal Year 2006.
Sales.
We
had sales of $3,166,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 compared
to
$3,204,000 in the comparable period in 2006, a decrease of $38,000 or 1%. The
decrease in sales is attributable mainly to a decrease in the receipt of orders
from our customers.
Cost
of
sales. We had cost of sales of $2,322,000 for the fiscal year ended October
31,
2007, representing approximately 73% of sales, compared to cost of sales of
$2,550,000 in the comparable period in 2006, which represented 80% of sales.
The
decrease of $228,000 or 10% was primarily due to a reduction in manufacturing
overhead and fixed costs that were recorded in the comparable period in 2006.
Gross
profit. We had gross profit of $844,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31,
2007 representing approximately 27% of sales, compared to a gross profit of
$654,000 in the comparable period in 2006, which represented 20% of sales.
The
increase of $190,000 was primarily attributable to decrease in cost of sales
as
previously discussed.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses. We had selling, general, and
administrative, “SG&A”, expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007
of $1,949,000 or approximately 62% of sales, compared to $1,564,000 in the
comparable period in 2006, which represented 49% of sales. This represents
an
increase of $385,000 or 20% in SG&A and is attributable mainly to increased
personnel and related costs associated with an increase in headcount for the
year and increases in fixed costs.
Loss
from
operations. We had loss from operations of $(1,105,000) for the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2007 compared to loss from operations of $(910,000) in the
comparable period in 2006, an increase of $195,000 or 17%. The net loss from
operations is attributable mainly to an increase in SG&A of 20% as discussed
previously.
Other
expense. We had other expense of $396,000 for the fiscal year ended October
31,
2007 compared to other expense of $1,990,000 in the comparable period in 2006,
a
decrease of $1,594,000 or 80%. The decrease was primarily due to the issuance
to
SGD of a warrant to purchase 386,314,860 shares of common stock (on a pre-one
for thirty reverse split basis) during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2006
(the “SGD Warrant”) in the amount of $2,186,000. The decrease is also due to a
reduction in interest expense as a result of the debt restructuring that
occurred on December 30, 2005 where the majority of long term loans were either
paid in full or converted into equity of the Company.
Net
loss.
We had a net loss of $(1,501,000) for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007
compared to a net loss of $(2,900,000) in the comparable period in 2006. The
large net loss in 2006 was due primarily to the issuance of the SGD Warrant.
The
exercise price for the SGD Warrant was less than the market price of the stock
resulting in stock based cost in the amount of $2,186,000 being recorded.
Management
has determined that, based on the Company's historical losses from recurring
operations, the Company will most likely not recognize its net deferred tax
assets at October 31, 2007. Ultimate recognition of these tax assets is
dependent, to some extent, on the future revenue levels and margins of the
Company. It is the intention of management to assess the appropriate level
for
the valuation allowance each quarter.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company's principal capital requirements have been to fund working capital.
The
Company has relied primarily on shareholder loans, private placement proceeds,
and subordinated debt to finance its operations. The Company has no material
commitments for capital expenditures which would affect its liquidity.
Net
cash
used in operations was $802,000 in 2007 as compared to $533,000 in 2006. The
change from 2007 to 2006 was due primarily to net loss and lower than expected
sales volume.
Net
cash
provided by investing activities in 2006 was $1,438,000. There were no investing
activities in 2007. The change from 2007 to 2006 was due primarily to the sale
of the building.
Net
cash
provided /used by financing activities were $485,000 and ($732,000) in 2007
and
2006, respectively. The change from 2007 to 2006 was primarily related to the
refinancing of the Property located at 1717 Diplomacy Row, Orlando, FL., and
the
restructuring that took place on December 30, 2006 as described in Note 16
to
the accompanying financial statements.
The
Company has generated much of its cash flow to sustain current operations
through a combination of sales and through debt and equity
transactions.
On
December 6, 2006, the Company issued SGD 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock for $300,000. As a result, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Series
B
Preferred Stock, the total amount of shares issuable under the Series B
Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated December 30, 2005, have
been issued to SGD. The proceeds of the sale of the 300,000 shares were used
for
general working capital.
On
December 15, 2006 the Company issued 174,887 shares of Common Stock with a
par
value of $0.01 in the amount of $20,986 to SGD in lieu of the 4% annual
cumulative dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock that was due on November
30,
2006.
On
September 4, October 9, December 4, and December 11, 2007, the Company signed
agreements with SGD to increase the principal balance of the Secured Promissory
Note by $70,000, $60,000, $100,000, and $50,000, respectively, to an aggregate
of $800,000. The additional debt did not alter any of the rights and obligations
with respect to the Secured Promissory Note other than increasing the principal
amount of the loan. The entire principal and any accrued and unpaid interest
(which accrues at a rate of 10% per annum) is due in full December 2008. The
proceeds were used for general working capital.
On
December 18, 2007, the Company executed a Master Revolving Note (the “Comerica
Note”) in favor of Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) in the aggregate principal amount
of $500,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The Comerica Note accrues interest at a
rate equal to the prime rate plus three percent (3%). Pursuant to the Comerica
Note, the Company has the right to request advances, from time to time, up
to
the Principal Amount. Accrued interest on the Note shall be payable monthly
commencing in February 2008 until December 1, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”) at
which time the payment of the then outstanding Principal Amount plus any accrued
but unpaid interest shall be due and payable. So long as any amounts are due
and
payable under the Note, as the Company collects revenues from its account
receivables, such revenues shall automatically be applied to repay any such
amounts due under the Comerica Note. As security for the Comerica Note, two
(2)
letters of credit were issued to Comerica, each in the amount of $267,500 (the
“Letters of Credit”). The Letters of Credit were supplied by Philip S. Sassower
(“Sassower”) and JAG Multi Investments, LLC, a limited liability company (“JAG”)
managed by Alexander Goren (“Alexander”)(Sassower and JAG are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Guarantors”). Alexander is the father of Andrea
Goren, who, along with Sassower, are the members of SG Phoenix Ventures LLC,
the
managing member of SGD. As consideration for the issuance of the Letters of
Credit, the Company paid the Guarantors an aggregate fee of $25,000, which
such
amount was added to the principal amount of the Secured Promissory Note as
described below. As additional consideration for the Guarantors issuing the
Letters of Credit, the Company executed a secured demand promissory note in
favor of the Guarantors in the aggregate maximum principal amount of $535,000
(the “Guarantor Note”). The obligations of the Company under the Guarantor Note
shall not take effect until such time, if ever, that Comerica enforces any
of
its rights by drawing funds against the Letters of Credit. At such time that
Comerica enforces its rights against the Letters of Credit, then the Guarantor
Note shall be in full force and effect to the extent of the amounts drawn
against the Letters of Credit. The Guarantor Note is secured by substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation and, pursuant to the terms of a side letter
between, among others, the Guarantors and SGD, ranks pari passu
with the
Secured Promissory Note. As of January 23, 2008 the Company has been advanced
$485,000 of the principal amount of the Comerica note and $185,000 has been
repaid on the principal amount of the Comerica note, resulting in a net
borrowing $300,000. The funds received from the Comerica Note are being used
for
general working capital, including payroll.
On
December 18, 2007, the Company signed an agreement to increase the principal
balance of the Secured Promissory note from $800,000 to $925,000, a net increase
of $125,000, which includes $100,000 of accrued and unpaid interest on the
Original Secured Promissory note that is being converted to principal and
$25,000 for facilitating the issuance of the Letters of Credit. The additional
$125,000 did not alter any of the rights and obligations with respect to the
Secured Promissory Note other than increasing the principal amount of the loan.
In addition this agreement extends the original due date of the Secured
Promissory Note to December 15, 2008.
On
December 21, 2007, the Company paid an amount of $70,000 in principal and $211
in interest against the Secured Promissory note; thereby reducing the principal
balance to $855,000.
Even
though the Company has incurred losses over the past several years, Management
has taken action to ensure the Company will continue as a going concern. In
addition, the Company has a backlog of $1,176,515 at October 31, 2007. The
Company believes that SGD, the holder of the Secured Debt, all of the
outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and the warrant exercisable for 50% of
the
Company’s outstanding common stock may be willing to provide the financial
resources to properly finance the growth of the Company. Based on the past
investments made by SGD, Management believes SGD to be a long term investor
that
may be willing to provide financial resources in the event of shortfalls while
the Company invests in new products and infrastructure. Consequently, Management
believes that these actions will enable the Company to continue as a going
concern through October 31, 2008 but there is no assurance that SGD will
continue to be willing to provide necessary financing.
