ILINC COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, iLinc Communications, Inc., is a
leading provider of Web conferencing software and services. The Company's
four-product iLinc Suite, comprised of LearnLinc, MeetingLinc, ConferenceLinc,
and SupportLinc, is an award winning virtual classroom, Web conferencing and
collaboration suite of software. The Company's software is based on a
proprietary architecture and code that finds its origins as far back as 1994, in
what the Company believes to be the beginnings of the Web conferencing industry.
Versions of the iLinc Suite have been translated into six languages, and it is
currently available in version 10. The Company's customers may choose from
several different pricing and licensing options for the iLinc Suite depending
upon their needs. Uses for the four-product suite of Web collaboration software
include online business meetings, sales presentations, training sessions,
product demonstrations and technical support assistance. The Company markets its
products using a direct sales force and an indirect distribution channel
consisting of agents, value added resellers and OEM partners. The Company allows
its customers to choose between purchasing a perpetual license and subscribing
to a term license. The Company's revenues are a mixture of high margin perpetual
and subscription licenses of software, monthly recurring revenues from
subscription licenses, as well as annual maintenance, hosting and support
agreements and other products and services.
The Company maintains corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona and
has occupied that 9,100 square foot Class A facility since the Company's
inception in 1998. The Phoenix lease requires a monthly rent and operating
expenses of approximately $25,000 and will expire on February 28, 2012. The
Company also maintains a 2,500 square foot Class B facility in Troy, New York
with an emphasis in that location on research and development and technical
support. The New York lease requires a monthly rent and operating expenses of
approximately $4,000 and it expires on June 30, 2009. In addition, the Company
maintains an 8,000 square foot Class A facility in Springville, Utah with a
historical emphasis on audio conferencing operations. The Utah facility will be
closed upon the transition of audio conferencing operations.
The Company began operations in March of 1998 in a different industry,
with its formation including the simultaneous rollup of fifty private businesses
and a simultaneous initial public offering. The Company changed its name to
iLinc Communications, Inc. in February 2004.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Pursuant to such
regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the presentation
and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading, but
do not purport it to be a complete presentation inasmuch as all note disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles are not included. In the
opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all elimination entries and normal recurring adjustments that are
necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods ended June 30,
2008 and 2007.
Fiscal operating results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year. It is suggested that these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes thereto, and
management's discussion and analysis related thereto, all of which are included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended March
31, 2008, as filed with the SEC and available for free on the Company's Website.
2. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES RELATED TO DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 28, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the "Audio Conferencing Agreement") with American Teleconferencing Services
Ltd. (the "Purchaser"), a subsidiary of Premiere Global Services, Inc. The Audio
Conferencing Agreement provided for the sale by the Company of a majority of its
audio conferencing assets. The closing of the transaction occurred on May 2,
2008. On the closing date, the Purchaser paid the Company $3.3 million, with an
additional payment of $833,000 to be paid within ten days of the transition date
of July 25, 2008 as defined in the Audio Conferencing Agreement. The transition
payment of $833,000 has been recorded in Other Receivables on the balance sheet
7
at June 30, 2008. As further consideration, Purchaser will tender on or before
June 1, 2009 an earn-out payment, if any, the product of 1.25 times the amount
that the Purchaser earns in revenue from the acquired customer accounts in
excess of $2.7 million during the twelve months after closing. Additionally, on
May 13, 2008, the Purchaser paid $558,000 for the Company's identified audio
conferencing accounts receivable that was less than 90 days old, and will pay
thereafter 103% of the accounts receivable collected from those audio
conferencing accounts in excess of the initial payment. The gain on sale
resulting from the transaction has been recorded as of the closing date.
On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the "Events Business Agreement") with Conference Plus, Inc. The Events Business
Agreement provided for the sale by the Company of the assets related to the
Events portion of its audio conferencing business (the "Events Business"). On
the closing date, the Purchaser paid the Company $175,000, with additional
monthly earn-out payments equal to the greater of: (a) twenty five percent of
the revenue derived by Purchaser from the Event Business or (b) $10,000 for each
of the twenty-four months after the closing date. The minimum monthly amount due
of $10,000 per month has been recorded as $120,000 in Other Receivables -
Current, and $120,000 in Other Receivables in Noncurrent on the balance sheet at
June 30, 2008. The gain on sale resulting from the transaction has been recorded
as of the closing date.
The Company sold both its audio conferencing and Events Business assets
due to continued price pressure for the market's perception of a commoditized
product in regards to audio conferencing, and as a result the Company
experienced continued margin contraction. The Company sold these assets to
provide cash to enable it to focus on its Web conferencing product.
Therefore, pursuant to the criteria established by SFAS No. 144,
ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, the Company has
determined that all of its audio conferencing operations (i.e., the portion sold
and the Events business retained) and related assets and liabilities should be
classified as assets and liabilities "related to discontinued operations" as of
June 30, 2008 and, the Company's results of operations related to its audio
conferencing business for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 have
been reclassified as income from discontinued operations.
A summary of the assets and liabilities of the audio conferencing
business are as follows:

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
RECLASSIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED FIGURES
The consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 has a reclassification of revenues and cost of revenues
derived from subscription and hosting services and audio services. Hosting
services have been reclassified to Software Maintenance, Hosting and Other
Services Revenues and cost of revenues from Subscription Services. These sources
were combined in the prior year's financial statements and have been
retroactively reclassified for comparative purposes. All audio services revenues
and cost of revenues, as well as audio services operating expenses have been
reclassified as discontinued operations.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. The more significant areas requiring use of estimates and judgment
relate to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and notes receivable
valuation reserves, realizability of intangible assets, realizability of
deferred income tax assets and the evaluation of contingencies and litigation.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The
results of such estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT
The Company holds certificates of deposit at a financial institution.
These certificates have a maturity of five months from the date of acquisition,
which preclude them from being accounted for as cash equivalents.
CUSTOMER CONCENTRATIONS
Accounts receivable balances for three customers totaled approximately
13%, 7% and 7%, respectively, at June 30, 2008 and accounts receivable balances
for two customers totaled approximately 18% and 14% of the total balance
outstanding at March 31, 2008.
9
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25, and related
interpretations and elected the disclosure option of SFAS No. 123 as amended by
SFAS No. 148, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - COMPENSATION AND
DISCLOSURE. Under the prior method, the Company measured compensation expense
for stock options as the excess, if any, of the estimated fair market value of
the Company's stock at the date of grant over the exercise price and provided
pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share in the notes to the
financial statements.
LOSS/INCOME PER SHARE
Basic loss/income per share are computed by dividing net loss/income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for each reporting period presented. Diluted loss/income per share
is computed similar to basic loss/income per share while giving effect to all
potential dilutive common stock equivalents that were outstanding during each
reporting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 options and warrants
to purchase 5,387,724 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation
of diluted earnings per share because of their anti-dilutive effect. For the
three months ended June 30, 2007, options and warrants to purchase 2,234,443
shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings
per share because of their anti-dilutive effect.
Additionally, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
preferred stock and debt convertible into 8,800,000 and 9,780,000 shares of
common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted
loss/income per share because inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive.
Furthermore, restricted stock grants of 1,250,000 and 450,000 shares have been
excluded from the loss/income per share calculations for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively because the measurement date stock price
exceeds the average stock price for all periods presented.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE
OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (SFAS No. 159). Under this
Standard, the Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value
reported in earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS No. 159 provides an
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that is caused by
measuring hedged assets and liabilities that were previously required to use a
different accounting method than the related hedging contracts when the complex
provisions of SFAS No. 133 hedge accounting are not met. SFAS No. 159 is
effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. The impact of adopting
this Standard was not material.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
issued SFAS No. 161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES--AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. This standard requires
companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c)
how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
10
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB
107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share
options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, SHARE-BASED PAYMENT. In particular,
the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use
the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient
information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107
was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about
employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or
other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to
companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a
company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31,
2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee
exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly,
the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the
simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the
simplified method for "plain vanilla" share options and warrants, and will
assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this
will have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, NONCONTROLLING
INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--an amendment of ARB No. 51. This
statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity
in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued,
limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result,
considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were
reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or
in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves
comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or
after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar
year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement
is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company
will adopt this Statement beginning April 1, 2009. It is not believed that this
will have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS, but retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141. This
Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a)
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business
combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate
the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement
applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The
effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB
Statement No. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS. The Company will adopt this statement beginning April 1, 2009. It is
not believed that this will have an impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
The balance of goodwill was $9,520,000 at March 31, 2008 and $9,229,000
at June 30, 2008. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill was a result of
reallocation of goodwill based on the analysis performed for the audio sale. As
a result of the sale of the Company's audio conferencing assets, $1,686,000 of
goodwill, which was previously classified in assets related to discontinued
operations plus an additional $291,000 of goodwill reallocated to discontinued
operations, resulting from the goodwill analysis, was included in the
calculation of gain on sale of the audio conferencing and events business for
the three months ended June 30, 2008.

CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
In May of 2006, the Company began production of version 9 of its Web
conferencing software. In accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, the Company began
capitalizing certain direct and indirect software development costs that
included expenses related to employee payroll costs, consultant fees, dedicated
computer hardware costs and specialized software license costs associated with
this project, since technological feasibility was achieved in May 2006. Version
9 was completed and released to customers in June 2007 and at that time the
accrued balance of software development costs totaled $630,000. The Company
capitalized $0 and $263,000 of software development costs for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company began amortization of
these capitalized software development costs, using the straight-line
amortization over a three year period beginning July 1, 2007. As of June 30,
2008, the net unamortized capitalized direct and indirect software development
costs were $420,000.

PREFERRED STOCK
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, holders of 30,000 shares
of Series A preferred stock converted their shares to 600,000 shares of common
stock. The conversion of the Preferred Stock was in accordance with the terms of
the Preferred Stock agreement and increased the number of share outstanding by
600,000.
8. INCOME TAX EXPENSE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The Company recorded income tax expense of $21,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The deferred income tax expense
resulted from the recognition of the deferred income tax liability related to
the tax deductible goodwill recognized on the Company's purchase of the assets
from Quisic and LearnLinc. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for
its deferred tax assets due to the historical lack of profitable operating
history. In the event that the Company determines that it will be more likely
than not that the Company will derive profitability and corresponding taxable
income, then it will realize a portion of its fully reserved deferred tax asset.
Upon such determination and corresponding realization, an adjustment to the
deferred tax asset would increase net income through recording a tax benefit in
the period when such a determination is made. The Company does not believe that
recognition is likely before the end of fiscal year 2009.
The Company adopted FIN 48 as of April 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48
has not had an impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company has no
unrecognized tax benefit, as described in FIN 48, as of June 30, 2008.
13
It is the Company's policy to recognize interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There is no
interest or penalties accrued as of June 30, 2008. Furthermore, there were no
interest or penalties recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. Federal
income taxes and state income taxes from fiscal 2005 forward. As of June 30,
2008, the Company is not undergoing any U.S. Federal or state tax audits. The
Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will
significantly change prior to March 31, 2009.
There was no current income tax expense for the three months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007 because net operating loss carry-forwards were utilized to
eliminate taxable income and the payment of any federal income tax.
9. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS
The Company grants stock options under its amended and restated Stock
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The Company calculates the fair value of options
on the day of grant and amortizes the fair value over the vesting period. Under
the Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 5,500,000 shares of common
stock to directors, officers and employees in the form of stock options and
stock awards.
There were stock options and stock awards representing 3,540,060 shares
outstanding under the Plan at June 30, 2008. The Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors administers the Plan. Stock options granted to employees have
a contractual term of ten years (subject to earlier termination in certain
events) and have an exercise price no less than the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the date of grant. The options vest at varying rates
over a one to five year period.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model approach. The Company amortizes the fair
value on a straight-line basis. All options are amortized over the requisite
service periods of the awards, which are generally the vesting periods. The
expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that they are
outstanding. Management estimated the expected term of the options granted based
on the period of time the options will be outstanding. Management has determined
that there were no meaningful differences in option exercise activity based on
the demographics tested. The Company estimates the volatility of its options at
the date of grant based on the historic volatility of its common stock for the
period of time that is commensurate to the options' expected life. The Company
bases the risk-free interest rate that it uses in the Black-Scholes option
valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of the option grant
on U.S. Treasury bond issues with equivalent remaining terms. The Company has
never paid a cash dividend on its common stock and does not anticipate paying
any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an
expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
SFAS 123R requires the Company to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and
revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from
those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option
forfeitures and record shared-based compensation expense only for those awards
that are expected to vest.
In accordance with SFAS 123R, the Company recognized $43,000 of
compensation expense related to vesting of stock option awards and restricted
stock grants in the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company recognized
$36,000 of compensation expense related to stock options and vesting of stock
grants in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The following table summarizes
stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and vesting
of employee stock grants under SFAS 123R for the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, which was allocated as follows (in thousands except per share
amounts).

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is
based on options ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for expected
forfeitures.
The Company calculates the value of each employee stock option,
estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes model in accordance with
SFAS 123R. The weighted average fair value of employee stock options granted
during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.22 per share and
$0.64 per share, respectively, using the following weighted-average assumptions:
2008 2007

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents total
pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company's closing stock price
on June 30, 2008 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of
in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had
all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2008. During the three
months ended June 30, 2008, no options were exercised by employees of the
Company. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of
stock options. At June 30, 2008, 450,917 shares were available for future grants
under the Plan. At June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $586,000 of
total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related
to stock options and restricted stock grants that will be recognized over the
weighted average period of 5.27 years.

On July 1, 2006, the Company issued a warrant for up to 1,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with an
exercise price of $0.55 per share to an agent of the Company in connection with
an agent agreement effective June 30, 2006. The warrant expires on July 1, 2011.
The warrant is subject to vesting provisions based on net collected revenue
targets achieved through the agent and certain value added resellers over a five
year period. As of June 30, 2008, none of the revenue targets had been achieved.
Therefore, no expense was recorded in the fiscal year. In accordance with EITF
96-18, ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE ISSUED TO OTHER THAN EMPLOYEES
FOR ACQUIRING, OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH SELLING, GOODS AND SERVICES, the Company
recorded a prepaid asset and corresponding additional paid-in capital of
$101,000 as the fair value of the 1,000,000 shares at June 30, 2008 using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: contractual and
expected life of 3 years, volatility of 93.5%, dividend yield of 0% and a
risk-free rate of 2.9%. On April 25, 2008, the Company extended the timeframe on
meeting the first vesting provision, which originally expired on July 1, 2008 by
an additional twelve months to July 1, 2009.

In January 2005, in connection with the restructuring of the payments
on loan obligations due in connection with the acquisition of Glyphics, the
Company issued a warrant for 50,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.55 to
Dr. John D. Rhodes, III. The loan was guaranteed by Dr. Rhodes. The warrant was
set to expire in January 2007. The fair value of the warrant of $8,000 was
estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
contractual and expected life of two years, volatility of 72%, dividend yield of
0% and a risk-free rate of 3.1%. In June 2005, in connection with the
restructuring of the payments and his continuing personal guarantee, the Company
issued an additional warrant for 50,000 shares to Dr. Rhodes with an exercise
price of $0.32. The warrant was set to expire in June 2007. The fair value of
the warrant of $6,500 was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with
the following assumptions: contractual and expected life of two years,
volatility of 71%, dividend yield of 0%, and a risk-free rate of 3.6%. On April
1, 2006 in connection with the restructuring of the payments and his continuing
personal guarantee, the Company issued an additional warrant to Dr. Rhodes for
50,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.40. The warrant expires in April
2009. The fair value of the warrant of $15,000 was estimated using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: contractual and
expected life of three years, volatility of 125%, dividend yield of 0% and a
risk-free rate of 4.83%. In April 2006, the expiration dates of the warrants
that had been issued in 2005 were extended to March 31, 2009. Based on an
analysis using the Black-Scholes pricing model, no adjustment was made to the
fair value of the two extended warrants. On April 1, 2007 in connection with the
restructuring of the payments and his continuing personal guarantee, the Company
issued an additional warrant for 50,000 shares to Dr. Rhodes with an exercise
price of $0.66. The warrant expires in April 2010. The fair value of the warrant
of $21,000 was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the
following assumptions: contractual and expected life of three years, volatility
of 101%, dividend yield of 0% and a risk-free rate of 4.54%.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to various commitments and contingencies as
described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended March 31, 2008. During
the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, the following occurred with respect
to certain of the Company's commitments and contingencies:
LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company used operating and capital leases to finance property and
equipment acquisitions. Currently, the Company has capital leases for office
furniture, computer hardware and software ranging in terms from 3 to 5 years.
The capital leases bear interest at varying rates ranging from 10.0% to 14.0%
and require monthly payments. The Company's operating leases primarily consist
of premise leases for the Phoenix, New York and Utah locations.

The Company's lease on its Phoenix, Arizona location expires on
February 28, 2012. The Phoenix lease requires a monthly rent and operating
expense of approximately $25,000. The Company's lease on its New York location
expires on June 30, 2009 and requires a monthly rent and operating expenses of
approximately $4,000. The lease related to the Utah location expires on December
31, 2008 and requires a monthly rent and operating expenses of approximately
$8,000. The Company has accrued the monthly costs for the remainder of the Utah
lease in liabilities related to discontinued operations at June 30, 2008.
SUBCONTRACTOR AGREEMENT
The Company had an agreement with its custom content subcontractor,
Interactive Alchemy, which provided for the provision of custom content services
to the Company's customers. The subcontractor agreement expired on May 1, 2008.
Under the agreement, the subcontractor provided custom content development
services to the Company in exchange for a fixed percentage of the Company's
custom content revenue. The amount to be paid under the agreement was limited to
a cap of $450,000 in Fiscal 2008. On September 28, 2007, the agreement was
modified in order to further clarify the rights and obligations between the
Company and its subcontractor at the end of the agreement. The Company recorded
gross custom content revenue for its customers with a corresponding fixed
percentage commission due to its subcontractor as a cost of sale.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with Mr. Powers, Mr.
Dunn, and Mr. Moulton. All are officers, and Mr. Powers is also Chairman of the
Board of Directors. Each of these agreements provides for an annual base salary
in an amount not less than the initial specified amount and entitles the
employee to participate in all of the Company's compensation plans. Each
agreement establishes a base annual salary and provides the eligibility for an
annual award of bonuses based on the management incentive compensation plan (as
adopted and amended by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors from
year to year), and is subject to the right of the Company to terminate their
respective employment at any time without cause. Mr. Powers' and Mr. Dunn's
employment agreements provide for continuous employment for a one-year term that
renews automatically unless otherwise terminated. Mr. Dunn's employment
agreement permits Mr. Dunn to work outside the corporate offices, and Mr. Dunn
relocated to Houston in June of 2005. Under each of the employment agreements,
if the Company terminates the employee's employment without cause (as therein
defined), Mr. Powers, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Moulton will be entitled to a payment
equal to 12 months' salary. Mr. Moulton's agreement was amended to expire on
December 31, 2008 as a part of the audio conferencing sale effective in fiscal
2009 upon transition of the audio business. Additionally, Mr. Powers' and Mr.
Dunn's employment agreements provide for a severance payment equal to one (1)
year's compensation in the event of termination of employment following a
"change in control" of the Company (as defined therein) except that should Mr.
Dunn obtain employment with the successor organization in a comparable position,
then the Company shall not be responsible for the severance payment. Each of the
foregoing agreements also contains a covenant limiting competition with iLinc
for one year following termination of employment. The aggregate potential
payment under such agreements would be $575,000 as of June 30, 2008.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
presented in this quarterly report and the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report filed on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, iLinc Communications, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation, is a leading provider of Web conferencing software and
services. We develop and sell software that provides real-time collaboration.
Our four-product iLinc Suite, comprised of LearnLinc, MeetingLinc,
ConferenceLinc and SupportLinc, is an award winning suite that includes a
virtual classroom, meeting, webinar and support tool. With our Web
collaboration, conferencing and virtual classroom products, we provide what we
believe to be simple, reliable and cost effective tools for remote
presentations, meetings and online events. Our software is based on a
proprietary architecture and code that finds its origins as far back as 1994, in
what we believe to be the beginnings of the Web conferencing industry. Versions
of the iLinc Suite have been translated into six languages, and it is currently
available in version 10. Our customers may choose from several different pricing
and licensing options for the iLinc software or iLinc service depending upon
their needs. We sell our software solutions to large corporations inside and
outside of the Fortune 1000 as well as small to medium size businesses (SMB) and
individuals. We market our products using a direct sales force and an indirect
distribution channel. Our indirect sales channel consists of agents,
distributors, value added resellers and OEM partners. We allow customers to
choose between purchasing a perpetual license and subscribing to a term license.
Our revenues are a mixture of high margin perpetual and subscription licenses of
software, monthly recurring revenues from subscription licenses as well as
annual maintenance, hosting and support agreements.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
WEB CONFERENCING
The iLinc Suite is a four-product suite of software that addresses the
most common business collaboration needs.
LearnLinc is an Internet-based software that is designed for training
and education of remote students. With LearnLinc, instructors and students can
collaborate and learn remotely providing an enhanced learning environment that
replicates and surpasses traditional instructor-led classes. Instructors can
create courses and classes, add varied agenda items, enroll students, deliver
live instruction and deliver content that includes audio, video and interactive
multimedia. In combination with TestLinc, LearnLinc permits users to administer
comprehensive tests, organize multiple simultaneous breakout sessions and
record, edit, play back and archive entire sessions for future use.
MeetingLinc is an online collaboration software designed to facilitate
the sharing of documents, PowerPoint(TM) presentations, graphics and
applications between meeting participants without leaving their desks.
MeetingLinc allows business professionals, government employees and educators to
communicate more effectively and economically through interactive online
meetings using Voice-over IP technology to avoid the expense of travel and long
distance charges. MeetingLinc allows remote participants to give presentations,
demonstrate their products and services, annotate on virtual whiteboards, edit
documents simultaneously and take meeting participants on a Web tour. Like all
of the Web collaboration products in the Suite, MeetingLinc includes integrated
voice and video conferencing services.
ConferenceLinc is a presentation software designed to deliver the
message in a one-to-many format providing professional management of Web
conferencing events. ConferenceLinc manages events such as earnings
announcements, press briefings, new product announcements, corporate internal
mass communications and external marketing events. ConferenceLinc is built on
the MeetingLinc software platform and code to combine the best interactive
features with an easy-to-use interface providing meaningful and measurable
results to presenters and participants alike. Its design includes features that
19
take the hassle out of planning and supporting a hosted Web seminar.
ConferenceLinc includes automatic email invitations, "one-click join"
capabilities, online confirmations, update notifications and customized attendee
registration. With ConferenceLinc, presenters may not only present content, but
may also gain audience feedback using real-time polling, live chat, question and
answer sessions and post-event assessments. The entire presentation is easily
recordable for viewing offline and review after the show with the recorder
capturing the content and the audio, video and participant feedback.
SupportLinc is an online technical support and customer sales support
software designed to give customer service organizations the ability to provide
remote hands-on support for products, systems or software applications.
SupportLinc manages the support call volume and enhances the effectiveness of
traditional telephone-based customer support systems. SupportLinc's custom
interface is designed to be simple to use so as to improve the interaction and
level of support for both customers and their technical support agents.
Our Web collaboration software is sold on a perpetual license or
periodic license basis. A customer may choose to acquire a one-time perpetual
license (the "Purchase Model") or may rent our software on a periodic basis on
either a per-seat, per-month or per-minute basis (the "Subscription Model").
Should they choose to acquire the software using the Purchase Model, then they
may either elect to host our software behind their own firewall or they may
choose to have iLinc host it for them, depending upon their preferences, budget
and IT capabilities. Customers who select the Purchase Model, whether hosted by
iLinc or the customer may also subscribe for ongoing customer support and
maintenance and software upgrade services, using a support and maintenance
contract with terms from one to five years. The annual maintenance and support
fee charged is initially based upon a percentage of the purchase price that
varies between 12% and 18% of the Purchase Model license fee paid for the
perpetual licenses, with the percentage depending upon the contractual length
and pre-payment of the annual maintenance and support agreement. If a customer
chooses to have iLinc host their Purchase Model licenses, then the customer is
also charged an annual hosting fee equal to between 8% and 10% of the Purchase
Model license fee that was paid for the perpetual license.
Customers choosing the Subscription Model pay per seat (concurrent
connection) on either a per-month or per-year basis depending upon the length
and term of the subscription agreement. Hosting and maintenance are included as
a part of the monthly or annual rental fees. Customers may also obtain Web
conferencing on a per-minute basis using the iLinc On-Demand product. Those
choosing the iLinc On-Demand product pay on a monthly basis typically without
contractual commitment.
SALES AND MARKETING FOCUS
Our organization continually creates new marketing and sales campaigns
that focus in three target markets.
o We target prospects that are using other Web conferencing service
providers that are ready to migrate to Web conferencing software.
We believe that these organizations appreciate the cost and
feature advantages that our technology offers.
o We target organizations that have a natural fit for highly secure
Web conferencing software such as government, military, and
financial organizations as well as the companies that supply to
these entities.
o We continue to cross sell all of our products and services to our
existing customers.
Our marketing efforts incorporate public relations, tradeshows, Web
events, Web marketing initiatives and direct marketing (mail and email) efforts
messaged in campaigns that speak to the needs of our specific target markets.
The goal of our marketing strategy is to drive new business into our customer
base and then cross sell our synergistic products and drive usage of all
products to increase the propensity for our customers to make additional
purchases.
20
We have formed relationships with organizations that market and sell
our products and services through their sales distribution channels. The
relationships can be categorized into those that act as agents and sell on our
behalf and value added resellers (a "VAR") that actively sell our products and
provide product support typically to their own existing customer base. As of
June 30, 2008, we had over 20 organizations selling our products providing
indirect sales in the United States and in countries outside the United States,
including Canada, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Japan.
Our VARs execute agreements with us to resell our products to their customers
through direct sales and in some cases through integration of our products into
their products or service offerings. Our distribution agreements typically have
terms of one to three years and are automatically renewed for an additional like
term unless either party terminates the agreement for breach or other financial
reasons. In most of these agreements, the VAR licenses the product from us and
resells the product to its customers. Under those VAR agreements, we record only
the amount paid to us by the VAR as revenue and recognize revenue when all
revenue recognition criteria have been met.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND INDICATORS
In evaluating our operating performance on a quarterly and annual
basis, we consider levels of revenues, gross profit, operating income and net
income to be important indicators.
As indicators of future financial performance, we monitor and evaluate
non-financial measures, such as number of seats sold, average sales price per
transaction, average sales cycle, quota achievement by the direct sales staff,
the number of transactions, the percentage each product sold contributes to
total revenue, and the trends indicated by these factors.
External factors that our management considers in analyzing our
performance include projected growth rates for our industry and rates of
penetration of use of our product categories in the corporate sector. We
consider these factors important since they permit us to better project capital
needs and growth trends that support our assertions of profitability and cash
flow. Analysis of these trends indicates that we are having decreasing success
from our direct sales staff for our perpetual licenses, but increasing success
in subscription licenses due to market driven forces. That success is likely to
translate into increasing recurring revenues over the term of the subscription,
and an increasing bottom line as we strive to contain overhead expenses. We
expect overhead to decrease in fiscal 2009, due to cost cutting and containment
measures carried out in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and continuing through
fiscal 2009. We see increasing demand for Web conferencing usage in the
business, education and government sectors alike, and we expect these trends to
continue over the next three years.
The following table shows certain items from our income statement as a
percentage of revenues from continuing operations (in thousands, except
percentages):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Total revenues generated from continuing operations for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $1.9 million and $2.5 million,
respectively, a decrease of $598,000 or 24% as a result of decreases in software
licenses revenue and subscription services revenue offset by a slight increase
in software maintenance revenue as follows:
o Software license revenues decreased $567,000 or 49% from $1.2
million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $585,000 in the
three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was the result of a
decrease in direct sales of $698,000 from $880,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 2007 to $182,000 in the three months ended
June 30, 2008, which was partially offset by an increase in OEM
and channel sales of $120,000 based on agreements with OEM and
channel sales of $74,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to sales of $194,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
We recognized revenues from off the shelf courseware of $209,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $11,000
as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. Subscription
services revenues were relatively flat, but decreased $42,000 or
8% from $511,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 to $469,000 in
the quarter ended June 30, 2008, as the result of decreased
indirect subscription revenues of $74,000 due to changes in the
subscription model for one of our partners and a decrease in web
per minute usage of $23,000. These decreases were partially offset
by an increase in direct subscriptions of $56,000, which we expect
will continue to increase.
22
o Software maintenance, hosting and other services revenues
increased $11,000 or 1% from $855,000 in the three months ended
June 30, 2007 to $866,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008.
However, we recognized increases in maintenance fees of $61,000
and hosting fees of $35,000 from renewals as the customer base
continues to grow. In addition, we recognized an increase in
training, storage and recording revenues of $5,000. The increases
were partially offset by a decrease in our custom content revenues
of $110,000. Our subcontractor agreement with Interactive Alchemy
ended in April 2008; therefore we will not recognize custom
content revenues in future periods.
o For the three months ended June 30, 2008, software license
revenues were 31% of total revenue, subscription services revenues
were 24% of total revenue and software maintenance, hosting and
other services revenues were 45% of total revenue, as compared to
46%, 20% and 34%, respectively, for the three months ended June
30, 2007. We expect software license revenues and subscription
services revenue to continue to become a larger percentage of
total revenues as total revenues increase given our focus on the
software Purchase Model, subscription model and indirect sales
model. We expect sales from off-the-shelf license sales to
decline.
COST OF REVENUES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Cost of software license revenues is driven by the types of software
licenses sold. It consists of royalty fees paid on certain off-the-shelf
products, if any, sold, and sales rebates to distribution partners on the sale
of certain software products. Cost of software license revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $45,000 and $67,000, respectively, a
decrease of $22,000 or 33%. The decrease was related to costs associated with
one license sale as part of a specific arrangement with the customer for the
three months ended June 30, 2007. Cost of software license revenue was
approximately 2% of total revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and
approximately 3% of total revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. We expect
the cost of software license revenues to remain below 3% of total license
revenue, which will arise only from royalties which may be due from the sale of
off-the-shelf courseware or specific arrangements with customers.
Cost of subscription services revenue uses a fully allocated overhead
method that includes an allocation of salaries and allocable expenses such as
network costs resulting from the delivery of our hosted Web conferencing
services. Cost of subscription services revenue for the three months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007 were $66,000 and $103,000, respectively, a decrease of $37,000
or 36%. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in salaries and
benefits due to a reduction in headcount. Cost of subscription services revenue
was approximately 3% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2008
and approximately 4% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Overall, we expect the cost of subscription services to remain relatively
consistent at 3% to 5% of revenues.
Cost of software maintenance, hosting and other services revenue
includes an allocation of technical support personnel and facilities costs
allocable to those services revenues consisting primarily of a portion of our
facilities costs, communications and depreciation expenses. However, by far the
largest and most variable component of the cost of software maintenance, hosting
and other services historically has arisen from the amount due to our
third-party subcontractor which was a fixed proportion of the custom content
revenue earned. Our agreement with Interactive Alchemy ended in April 2008. The
cost of software maintenance, hosting and other services for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $127,000 and $211,000, respectively, a decrease
of $84,000 or 40%. The decrease was primarily a result of the amount due to
Interactive Alchemy, which decreased by $82,000 from $119,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 to $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Cost of software maintenance, hosting and professional services revenue was
approximately 7% and 8% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. We expect that cost of software maintenance,
hosting and other services revenue will remain consistent at approximately 5% to
7% of revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2009.
23
Amortization of acquired and developed software consists of
amortization of capitalized software development costs related to iLinc version
9. Amortization of acquired and developed software for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $53,000 and $0, respectively, as we began
amortizing costs related to iLinc version 9 in July, 2007.
GROSS PROFIT
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit (total revenues less
total cost of revenues) decreased from $2.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. We
expect to see gross profit increase as revenues increase in dollar amount and as
a percentage as revenues rise since most of the cost of sales are fixed in
nature, e.g., amortization.
OPERATING EXPENSES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Total operating expenses consist of research and development expenses,
sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. We
incurred operating expenses of $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30,
2008, a decrease of $153,000 or 7% from $2.2 million in the three months ended
June 30, 2007. This decrease is due to decreases in sales and marketing expenses
of $272,000 and in general and administrative expenses of $50,000 partially off
set by an increase in research and development expenses of $169,000. Total
operating expenses were 107% and 87% of total revenues in the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Research and development expenses represent expenses incurred in
connection with the continued development and enhancement of our software
products and new versions of our software. Those costs consist primarily of
salaries and benefits, telecommunication allocations, rent allocations, computer
equipment allocations and allocated depreciation and amortization expense.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007 were $531,000 and $362,000, respectively, an increase of $169,000 or 47%.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we began capitalizing identified direct
expenses associated with a specific software development upon achieving
technological feasibility for version 9 of our Web collaboration software in
accordance with SFAS No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BE
SOLD, LEASED, OR OTHERWISE MARKETED. We continued to capitalize those direct
costs through June 2007 when the new software product was released for
distribution and sale to our customers. We began amortizing these software
development costs over a three year period beginning in July 2007. The increase
in research and development costs is primarily related to an increase in salary
and benefit expense of $212,000. This increase is a result of increased
headcount period over period to support our investment in innovation in addition
to the fact that in the three months ended June 30, 2007, salary costs directly
associated with the development of version 9 were being capitalized, whereas in
the three months ended June 30, 2008, the salary costs of those developers are
no longer being capitalized, but are being expensed directly to research and
development expense. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in computer
subscriptions of $36,000 as the result of not renewing a subscription to a
particular quality assurance service contract that we had engaged in during most
of fiscal 2008. Research and development expense was approximately 28% of total
revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and approximately 14% of total
revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007. We expect cost of sales and
research and development costs to remain relatively consistent with the first
three months of fiscal 2009 for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing
salaries and benefits, and also include allocated travel and entertainment
costs, allocated advertising and other marketing expenses. Sales and marketing
expenses were $900,000 and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively, a decrease of $272,000 or 23%. The decrease was a
result of planned decreases in salaries and benefits of $39,000 associated with
decreased headcount and compensation structure, a decrease in professional
services of $43,000, indirect commissions and rebates of $60,000 and a decrease
in advertising and marketing expenses of $144,000. We expect sales and marketing
expenses to increase in amount as revenues increase, but expect the percentage
of sales and marketing expenses incurred in relation to total revenue to remain
consistent.
24
General and administrative expenses consist of company-wide expenses
that are not directly related to research and development or sales and marketing
activities, with the bulk of those general and administrative expenses comprised
of salaries, rent and the costs directly associated with being a public company,
including accounting costs, legal costs and fees. During the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, general and administrative expenses from continuing
operations were $613,000 and $663,000, respectively, a decrease of $50,000 or
8%. The decrease is primarily a result of decreased office expenses of $35,000,
a decrease in professional services of $24,000, a decrease in legal fees of
$19,000 and a decrease in travel and entertainment of $9,000. These decreases
were partially offset by an increase in accounting fees of $36,000 and in board
and investor relations expenses of $8,000. General and administrative expenses
from continuing operations were 32% of total revenues in the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 26% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007.
In general, we expect general and administrative expense to decrease as a
percentage of revenue, but to remain consistent with the first three months of
the 2009 fiscal year.
LOSS/INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we reported a loss from
operations of $415,000 as compared to a loss from operations of $60,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $355,000. We expect to increase
earnings from operations in fiscal 2009 by increasing revenues and decreasing
expenses in all three categories of operating expense.
INTEREST EXPENSE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Interest expense from continuing operations paid on outstanding debt
instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was
$258,000 and $256,000, respectively, an increase of $2,000. Non-cash interest
expense, arising from the beneficial conversion feature of our debt, for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $79,000 and $81,000,
respectively, a decrease of $2,000.
We expect interest expense from continuing operations to remain
consistent in fiscal 2009 with the expense incurred in fiscal 2008. We also
expect non-cash interest expense resulting from the beneficial conversion
feature of our debt to remain consistent in fiscal 2009, because the
amortization is straight-line. Should there be any debt conversions in fiscal
2009, the interest will increase in order to accelerate the beneficial
conversion feature related to the proportion of debt converted.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
We recorded tax expense of $21,000 for both the three months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007. The expense resulted from the recognition of the deferred
income tax liability related to the tax deductible goodwill. We recorded a
valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset because we concluded it is not
likely we would be able to realize the tax assets due to the lack of profitable
operating history. In the event that we determine that we would be able to
realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax
asset would increase net income through a tax benefit in the period such a
determination was made that we have met the more likely than not threshold for
such recognition.
RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 28, 2008, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Audio Conferencing Agreement") with American Teleconferencing Services Ltd.
(the "Purchaser"), a subsidiary of Premiere Global Services, Inc. The Audio
Conferencing Agreement provided for the sale by iLinc of a majority of our audio
conferencing assets. The closing of the transaction occurred on May 2, 2008. On
the closing date, the Purchaser paid iLinc $3.3 million, with an additional
payment of $833,000 to be paid within ten days of the transition date of
July 25, 2008 as defined in the Audio Conferencing Agreement.
The transition payment of $833,000 has been recorded in Other
Receivables on the balance sheet at June 30, 2008. As further consideration,
Purchaser will tender on or before June 1, 2009 an earn-out payment, if any,
equal to the product of 1.25 times the amount that the Purchaser earns in
revenue from the acquired customer accounts in excess of $2.7 million during the
twelve months after closing. Additionally, on May 13, 2008, the Purchaser paid
$558,000 for our identified audio conferencing accounts receivable that was less
than 90 days old, and will pay thereafter 103% of the accounts receivable
collected from those audio conferencing accounts in excess of the initial
payment. The gain on sale resulting from the transaction has been recorded as of
the closing date.
25
On June 30, 2008, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Events Business Agreement") with Conference Plus, Inc. The Events Business
Agreement provided for the sale by iLinc of the assets related to the Events
portion of our audio conferencing business (the "Events Business"). On the
closing date, the purchaser paid us $175,000. In addition, the purchaser has
agreed to make monthly earn-out payments for twenty-four months after the
closing date equal to the greater of: (a) 25% of the revenue derived by
Purchaser from the Event Business for such month or (b) $10,000. The minimum
monthly amount due of $10,000 per month has been recorded as $120,000 in Other
Receivables - Current, and $120,000 in Other Receivables in Noncurrent on the
balance sheet at June 30, 2008. The gain on sale resulting from the transaction
has been recorded as of the closing date.
We sold both our audio conferencing and Events Business assets due to
continued price pressure for the market's perception of a commoditized product
in regards to audio conferencing, and as a result we experienced continued
margin contraction. We sold these assets to provide cash to enable us to focus
on our Web conferencing product.
Therefore, pursuant to the criteria established by SFAS No. 144,
ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, we have
determined that all of our audio conferencing operations (i.e., the portion sold
and the Events business retained) and related assets and liabilities should be
classified as assets and liabilities "related to discontinued operations" as of
June 30, 2008 and, our results of operations related to our audio conferencing
business for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 have been
reclassified as income from discontinued operations.
A summary of the assets and liabilities of the audio conferencing
business are as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, we have generated cash from capital raising activities
through the sale of our common and preferred stock, and from cash flow provided
by operations. During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, we also
generated cash from the sale of our audio conferencing and Events Business
assets. We have used cash to fund our operations but have not used cash to
prepay or reduce debt although we have that option without penalty with our
senior notes.
In evaluating our liquidity, we evaluate levels of current assets,
current liabilities and accounts receivable, aging of accounts receivable and
maturities of debt and obligations under long term leases. Our current assets,
including accounts receivable, at June 30, 2008 of $6.6 million were $1.5
million higher than our levels of current assets of $5.1 million at March 31,
2008. Our current liabilities at June 30, 2008 of $3.9 million were
approximately $23,000 more than our level of current liabilities at March 31,
2008 of $3.9 million. We had working capital of $2.7 million at June 30, 2008
compared to working capital of $1.2 million at March 31, 2008. Our cash and cash
equivalents and certificate of deposit balance increased by $3.0 million, from
$1.0 million at March 31, 2008 to $4.0 million at June 30, 2008. Our accounts
receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $785,000 and $627,000
at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable
increased, which was consistent with increased revenues when comparing the three
months ended June 30, 2008 to the three months ended March 31, 2008. Other
receivables of $953,000 at June 30, 2008 consisted of amounts due from the
purchasers of our audio conferencing and events businesses. Prepaid and other
current assets increased by $29,000 due in part to the timing of annual
contracts that were prepaid partially offset by a decrease in the valuation of a
warrant to one of our agents that is based on meeting specific sales targets.
Current liabilities increased by a total of $23,000. Accounts payable decreased
by $154,000 from $612,000 at March 31, 2008 to $458,000 at June 30, 2008 as a
result of paying amounts due at March 31, 2008 during the June 2008 quarter in
addition to our efforts to cut expenses during the quarter. Accrued liabilities
increased by $242,000 from $751,000 at March 31, 2008 to $993,000 at June 30,
2008, primarily due to the increase of accrued salaries and benefits of
$225,000. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, we sold the majority of our
assets related to our audio conferencing and events businesses for $4.6 million.
As such, assets and liabilities related to the audio conferencing and events
businesses have been classified as "Related to Discontinued Operations" in our
financial statements as at June 30 and March 31, 2008. At June 30 and March 31,
2008, assets related to discontinued operations were $594,000 and $3.1 million,
respectively. Liabilities classified as related to discontinued operations were
$707,000 and $778,000 at June 30 and March 31, 2008, respectively. At June 30,
2008 long term debt due in less than one year, capital lease obligations due in
less than one year, interest expense for the coming year and operating lease
obligations for the coming year aggregated $95,000, $124,000, $1.0 million and
$476,000, respectively. We anticipate that cash flow from operations combined
with the cash received for the sale of our audio conferencing assets should be
sufficient to allow us to meet these obligations without raising additional
capital.
27
On May 2, 2008, we closed a transaction in which we sold a majority of
our audio conferencing assets and audio operations for $4.1 million in cash. In
addition, on June 30, 2008, we sold our Events Business for $175,000 in cash,
with an additional minimum earn-out of $10,000 per month for 24 months. As such,
assets and liabilities related to the audio conferencing business have been
classified as Held for Sale in our financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and
2007. We have collected $3.5 million of the purchase price and expect to receive
an additional $843,000 in August of 2008.
We plan to continue to focus on managing overhead while increasing
revenue through subscription sales in an effort to maintain positive cash flow
and ultimately profitability in fiscal 2009.
CASH FLOWS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Cash used in operating activities was $633,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and cash provided by operating activities was $234,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. In the three months ended June 30, 2008,
cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a net loss from
continuing operations of $770,000, an increase in accounts receivable of
$151,000, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $51,000
and recovery of bad debts of $7,000. These items were partially offset by
depreciation and amortization of $143,000, stock compensation expense of
$41,000, deferred income tax expense of $21,000, non-cash accretion of deferred
debt discount to interest expense of $50,000, increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $88,000 and an increase in deferred revenue of $2,000.
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was
$234,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Cash provided by operating
activities from continuing operations during the three months ended June 30,
2007 was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $440,000, increase in deferred revenue of $245,000, decrease in
prepaid expenses and other current assets of $13,000, depreciation and
amortization of $73,000, warrant expense of $21,000, stock compensation expense
of $33,000 and deferred income tax expense of $21,000 and non-cash accretion of
deferred debt discount to interest expense of $51,000. These items were
partially offset by a net loss from continuing operations of $445,000 and an
increase in accounts receivable of $225,000.
28
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Cash used in investing activities was $2.4 million, and $293,000 in the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash used in investing
activities during the three months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to $2.4
million investment in certificates of deposit and $17,000 in capital
expenditures. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended
June 30, 2007 was primarily due to investments of $6,000 in certificates of
deposit, capital expenditures of $38,000 and capitalized software development
costs of $263,000. These items were partially offset by the repayment of a note
receivable of $14,000.
CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash used in financing activities was $76,000 and $73,000 during the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash used in financing
activities in the three months ended June 30, 2008 was attributable to payment
of Series A and B preferred stock dividends of $29,000, repayment of long-term
debt of $19,000 and repayment of capital lease liabilities of $28,000. Cash used
in financing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2007 was attributable
to payment of Series A and B preferred stock dividends of $35,000, repayment of
long-term debt of $31,000 and repayment of capital lease liabilities of $7,000.
CASH FLOWS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30,
2008 was $387,000. Cash provided by operating activities for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 was $251,000. Cash provided by investing activities for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.1 million. Cash used in investing
activities for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,000.
OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS AND PREFERRED STOCK
We currently have outstanding unsecured subordinated convertible notes
with a remaining principal balance of $5.1 million due March 29, 2012, Senior
Notes with a remaining principal balance of $2.96 million due July 15, 2010,
75,000 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and
55,000 issued and outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
All of the foregoing securities were issued in connection with our capital
raising activities.
Outstanding Indebtedness
In March 2002, we completed a private placement offering (the
"Convertible Note Offering") that provided gross proceeds of $5.75 million that
was used to extinguish an existing line of credit. Under the terms of the
Convertible Note Offering, we issued unsecured subordinated convertible notes
(the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of
12% per annum and require quarterly interest payments, with the principal due at
maturity on March 29, 2012. The holders of the Convertible Notes may convert the
principal into shares of our common stock at the fixed price of $1.00 per share.
We may force redemption by conversion of the principal into common stock at the
fixed conversion price, if at any time the 20 trading day average closing price
of our common stock exceeds $3.00 per share. These notes are subordinated to any
present or future senior indebtedness. As a part of the Convertible Notes
offering, we also issued warrants to purchase 5,775,000 shares of our common
stock, but those warrants expired on March 29, 2005 without exercise. The fair
value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model and a
discount to the Convertible Notes of $1,132,000 was recorded using this value,
which is being amortized to interest expense over the 10-year term of the
Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, any remaining discount and beneficial
conversion feature will be expensed in full at the time of conversion. During
fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006, holders with a principal balance totaling
$675,000 converted their notes into 2,121,088 shares of our common stock at
prices from $0.25 to $0.30 per share. No conversion of debt or acceleration of
amortization of costs occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007 or
2008.
In April of 2004, we completed a private placement offering of
unsecured senior notes (the "2004 Senior Note Offering") that provided gross
proceeds of $4.25 million. Under the terms of the 2004 Senior Note Offering, we
issued $3,187,000 in unsecured senior notes and 1,634,550 shares of our common
stock. The senior notes originally bore an interest rate of 10% per annum and
accrued interest is due and payable on a quarterly basis, with principal
originally due on July 15, 2007. The senior notes are redeemable by us at 100%
of the principal value at any time. The notes and common stock were originally
issued with a debt discount of $768,000. The fair value of the warrants to the
placement agent was estimated and used to calculate a discount of $119,000 of
29
which $68,000 was allocated to the notes and $51,000 was allocated to equity.
The total discount allocated to the notes of $836,000 is being amortized as a
component of interest expense over the original term of the notes, which was
thirty-nine months. The senior notes are unsecured obligations of our company
but are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of
our company. The resale of the common stock issued in the 2004 Senior Note
Offering was registered with the SEC pursuant to a resale registration statement
dated August 2, 2005. Effective August 1, 2005, holders with a principal balance
and accrued interest totaling $225,800 converted their senior notes and accrued
interest into 903,205 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share.
No conversion of debt to equity or acceleration of amortization of costs related
to such conversions occurred during the years ended March 31, 2007 or 2008. In
December, 2006, we negotiated a modification of the terms of the senior notes to
extend the maturity date to July 15, 2010. In exchange for the three year
extension, the interest rate increased to 12% per annum effective on January 16,
2007. All other terms and provisions of the senior notes remained unchanged. The
direct expenses of the note amendment was $101,000, and the estimated fair value
of the warrant issued to the placement agent of $42,000 were recorded as a
deferred offering cost and both are being amortized as a component of interest
expense over the remaining term of the senior notes.
Preferred Stock
On September 16, 2003, we completed our private placement of Series A
convertible preferred stock with detachable warrants to purchase 750,000 shares
of common stock, providing $1,500,000 in gross proceeds. We originally issued
150,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that converts to 3,000,000 shares of
common stock. The warrants were immediately exercisable at a price of $1.50 per
share and expired on September 16, 2006. We pay an 8% cash dividend, payable
quarterly to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the dividend is
cumulative. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting and non-participating.
The shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were offered in a private placement
providing exemption from registration. The cash proceeds of the private
placement of Series A Preferred Stock were allocated pro rata between the
relative fair values of the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants at issuance
using the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing the warrants. The aggregate
value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion discount of $247,000 were
considered a deemed dividend in the calculation of loss per share. During fiscal
years 2005 and 2006, holders of 35,000 shares converted to 700,000 shares of
common stock. During fiscal 2007, holders of 12,500 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock converted those shares into 250,000 shares of our common stock. During
fiscal 2008, holders of 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted
those shares into 200,000 shares of our common stock. During the three months
ended June 30, 2008, holders of 30,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
converted those shares into 600,000 shares of our common stock. The resale of
the underlying common stock that would be issued upon conversion of the
preferred stock and upon exercise of the associated warrants has been registered
with the SEC and may be sold pursuant to a resale prospectus.
On December 31, 2005, we completed our private placement of Series B
convertible preferred stock, with detachable warrants. We originally issued
70,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock that converts to 2,800,000 shares of
common stock, if all converted and warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of common
stock. The Series B Preferred Stock bears an 8% dividend payable quarterly. The
dividend is cumulative, and the Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting and
non-participating. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock will not be registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were offered in a private
placement providing exemption from registration. The warrants that are
exercisable at an exercise price equal to $0.50 per share expire on September
30, 2008. The aggregate value of the warrants of $55,000 is considered a deemed
dividend in the calculation of earnings/loss per share. During the 2007 fiscal
year, holders of 10,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted those
shares into 420,000 shares of our common stock. During the 2008 fiscal year,
holders of 4,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted those shares into
180,000 shares of our common stock. The resale of the underlying common stock
that would be issued upon conversion of the preferred stock and upon exercise of
the associated warrants has been registered with the SEC and may be sold
pursuant to a resale prospectus.
30
On June 9, 2006, we completed a private placement of 5,405,405
unregistered, restricted shares of common stock providing $2.0 million in gross
cash proceeds. We have used the proceeds for working capital and general
corporate purposes. We paid our placement agent an underwriting commission of
$185,000 of which $25,000 was recorded as deferred offering costs, and incurred
additional offering expenses of approximately $103,000. Pursuant to the
registration rights agreement between the parties, we filed a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 to enable the resale of the shares by the investors which
was declared effective on September 29, 2006.
OFF BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS
There are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations
(including contingent obligations) or other relationships of our Company with
unsolicited entities or other persons that have or may have a material effect on
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources of our Company.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The more
significant areas requiring use of estimates relate to revenue recognition,
accounts receivable and notes receivable valuation reserves, realizability of
intangible assets, realizability of deferred income tax assets and the
evaluation of contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. The results of such estimates form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We consider an accounting policy to be critical if it requires an
accounting estimate that requires us to make assumptions about matters that are
highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made. In addition,
different estimates that we reasonably could have used for the accounting
estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are
reasonably likely to occur from period to period would have a material impact on
the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or
results of operations. We believe there are a number of accounting policies that
are critical to understanding our historical and future performance. The
critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, sales reserves,
allowance for doubtful accounts, software development costs, intangible assets,
income taxes and stock-based compensation.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are included in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008 as filed with the
SEC.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The disclosure is not applicable because iLinc is a smaller reporting
company.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30,
2008. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer concluded that as of June 30, 2008, our disclosure controls
and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls
and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i)
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or
our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been
detected.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the first quarter ended June 30, 2008, no changes were made to
our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or were
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below. The risks and
uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading
price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
WE FACE RISKS INHERENT IN INTERNET-RELATED BUSINESSES AND MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN
ADDRESSING THESE RISKS.
We face risks frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly
evolving markets such as Web conferencing and audio conferencing. We may fail to
adequately address these risks and, as a consequence, our business may suffer.
To address these risks among others, we must successfully introduce and attract
new customers to our products and services; successfully implement our sales and
marketing strategy to generate sufficient sales and revenues to sustain
operations; foster existing relationships with our customers to provide for
continued or recurring business and cash flow; and successfully address and
establish new products and technologies as new markets develop. We may not be
able to sufficiently address and overcome risks inherent in our business
strategy.
OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS ARE UNCERTAIN AND MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY.
Our operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter
and are likely to continue to fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors,
many of which we cannot control. Factors that may adversely affect our quarterly
operating results include: the dependence upon software purchase license sales
as opposed to the more ratable subscription model, the size and timing of
product orders; the mix of revenue from custom services and software products;
the market acceptance of our products and services; our ability to develop and
market new products in a timely manner; the timing of revenues and expenses
relating to our product sales; and revenue recognition rules. Expense levels are
based, in part, on expectations as to future revenue and to a large extent are
fixed in the short term. To the extent we are unable to predict future revenue
accurately, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate
for any unexpected revenue shortfall.
WE HAVE LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
We have limited financial resources at our disposal. We have long-term
obligations that are due in 2010 and 2012 that we may not be able to satisfy
from existing working capital. If we are unable to remain profitable, we will
face increasing demands for capital. We may not be successful in raising
additional debt or equity capital. As a result, we may not have sufficient
financial resources to satisfy our obligations as they come due in the short
term.
DILUTION TO EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS WILL OCCUR UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES WE HAVE
RESERVED FOR FUTURE ISSUANCE.
On June 30, 2008, 34,623,816 shares of our common stock were issued and
outstanding, net of treasury shares. An additional 16,015,224 shares of our
common stock were reserved for issuance that would be issued as the result of
the exercise of warrants or the conversion of convertible notes and/or
convertible preferred stock. The issuance of these additional shares will reduce
the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. The existence of these
reserved shares coupled with other factors, such as the relatively small public
float, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock and
our ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities.
THE LOSS OF THE SERVICES OF OUR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND KEY PERSONNEL WOULD LIKELY
CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO SUFFER.
33
Our success depends to a significant degree on the performance of our
senior management team. The loss of any of these individuals could harm our
business. We do not maintain key person life insurance for any officers or key
employees other than on the life of James M. Powers, Jr., our Chairman,
President and CEO, with that policy providing a death benefit to the Company of
$1.0 million. Our success also depends on the ability to attract, integrate,
motivate and retain additional highly skilled technical, sales and marketing and
professional services personnel. To the extent we are unable to attract and
retain a sufficient number of additional skilled personnel, our business will
suffer.
OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MAY BECOME SUBJECT TO LEGAL CHALLENGES, UNAUTHORIZED
USE OR INFRINGEMENT, ANY OF WHICH COULD DIMINISH THE VALUE OF OUR PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES.
Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. If we
fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, the value of
these rights, and consequently, the value of our products and services to our
customers, could diminish substantially. It may be possible for third parties to
copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property or trade secrets
without our authorization, and it may also be possible for third parties to
independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. Currently,
we do not have patent protection in place related to our products and services.
Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property
rights, to protect trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others. While we have not received any notice of any claim
of infringement of any of our intellectual property, from time to time we may
receive notice of claims of infringement of other parties' proprietary rights.
Such claims could result in costly litigation and could divert management and
technical resources. These types of claims could also delay product shipment or
require us to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or
licensing agreements, which agreements, if required, may not be available on
reasonable terms, or at all.
COMPETITION IN THE WEB CONFERENCING AND AUDIO CONFERENCING SERVICES MARKET IS
INTENSE AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY.
The markets for Web conferencing and audio conferencing products and
services are relatively new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive.
Competition in our market will continue to intensify and may force us to reduce
our prices, or cause us to experience reduced sales and margins, loss of market
share and reduced acceptance of our services. Many of our competitors have
larger and more established customer bases, longer operating histories, greater
name recognition, broader service offerings, more employees and significantly
greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations and distribution
resources than we do. We expect that we will face new competition as others
enter our market to develop Web conferencing and audio conferencing services.
These current and future competitors may also offer or develop products or
services that perform better than ours. In addition, acquisitions or strategic
partnerships involving our current and potential competitors could harm us in a
number of ways.
FUTURE REGULATIONS COULD BE ENACTED THAT EITHER DIRECTLY RESTRICT OUR BUSINESS
OR INDIRECTLY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS BY LIMITING THE GROWTH OF INTERNET-BASED
BUSINESS AND SERVICES.
As commercial use of the Internet increases, federal, state and foreign
agencies could enact laws or adopt regulations covering issues such as user
privacy, content and taxation of products and services. If enacted, such laws or
regulations could limit the market for our products and services. Although they
might not apply to our business directly, we expect that laws or rules
regulating personal and consumer information could indirectly affect our
business. It is possible that such legislation or regulation could expose us to
liability which could limit the growth of our Web conferencing and audio
conferencing products and services. Such legislation or regulation could dampen
the growth in overall Web conferencing usage and decrease the Internet's
acceptance as a medium of communications and commerce.
WE DEPEND LARGELY ON ONE-TIME SALES TO GROW REVENUES WHICH MAKE OUR REVENUES
DIFFICULT TO PREDICT.
34
While subscription Web conferencing provides a more recurring revenue
base, a high percentage of our revenue is attributable to one-time purchases by
our customers rather than long-term, recurring, conferencing subscription type
contracts. As a result, our inability to continue to obtain new agreements and
sales may result in lower than expected revenue, and therefore, harm our ability
to achieve or sustain operations or profitability on a consistent basis, which
could also cause our stock price to decline. Further, because we face
competition from larger, better-capitalized companies, we could face increased
downward pricing pressure that could cause a decrease in our gross margins.
Additionally, our sales cycle varies depending on the size and type of customer
considering a purchase. Potential customers frequently need to obtain approvals
from multiple decision makers within their company and may evaluate competing
products and services before deciding to use our services. Our sales cycle,
which can range from several weeks to several months or more, combined with the
license purchase model makes it difficult to predict future quarterly revenues.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY SUFFER IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP AND FOSTER OUR VALUE
ADDED RESELLER OR DISTRIBUTION RELATIONSHIPS.
We have an existing channel and distribution network that provides
growing revenues and contributes to our high margin software sales. These
distribution partners are not obligated to distribute our services at any
minimum level. As a result, we cannot accurately predict the amount of revenue
we will derive from our distribution partners in the future. The inability or
unwillingness of our distribution partners to sell our products to their
customers and increase their distribution of our products could result in
significant reductions in our revenue, and therefore, harm our ability to
achieve or sustain profitability on a consistent basis.
SALES IN FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS BY OUR INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTOR NETWORK AND US
MAY RESULT IN UNANTICIPATED COSTS.
We have limited experience in international operations and may not be
able to compete effectively in international markets. We face certain risks
inherent in conducting business internationally, such as:
o our inability to establish and maintain effective distribution
channels and partners;
o the varying technology standards from country to country;
o our inability to effectively protect our intellectual property
rights or the code to our software;
o our inexperience with inconsistent regulations and unexpected
changes in regulatory requirements in foreign jurisdictions;
o language and cultural differences;
o fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
o our inability to effectively collect accounts receivable; or,
o our inability to manage sales and other taxes imposed by foreign
jurisdictions.
THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS SUBSTANTIALLY DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY
DEVELOP AND INTRODUCE NEW SERVICES AND FEATURES IN A TIMELY MANNER.
With our focus on our Web and audio conferencing products and services,
our growth depends on our ability to continue to develop new features, products
and services around that software and product line including the ability to
operate our software in non-Windows based operating systems (e.g., MAC and
Linux). We may not successfully identify, develop, and market new products and
features in a timely and cost-effective manner. If we fail to develop and
maintain market acceptance of our existing and new products to offset our
continuing development costs, then our net losses will increase and we may not
be able to achieve or sustain profitability on a consistent basis.
IF WE FAIL TO OFFER COMPETITIVE PRICING, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTRACT AND
RETAIN CUSTOMERS.
Because the Web conferencing market is relatively new and still
evolving, the prices for these services are subject to rapid and frequent
changes. In many cases, businesses provide their services at significantly
reduced rates, for free or on a trial basis in order to win customers. Due to
competitive factors and the rapidly changing marketplace, we may be required to
significantly reduce our pricing structure, which would negatively affect our
revenue, margins and our ability to achieve or sustain profitability on a
consistent basis. We have an existing channel and distribution network that
provides growing revenues and contributes to our high margin software sales.

These distribution partners are not obligated to distribute our services at any
particular minimum level. As a result, we cannot accurately predict the amount
of revenue we will derive from our distribution partners in the future. The
inability of our distribution partners to sell our products to their customers
and increase their distribution of our products could result in significant
reductions in our revenue, and, therefore, harm our ability to achieve or
sustain profitability on a consistent basis.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE OUR ASSESSMENT AS TO THE ADEQUACY OF OUR INTERNAL
CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 404 OF THE
SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, INVESTORS COULD LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THE RELIABILITY
OF OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF
OUR COMMON STOCK.
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the
Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules requiring smaller reporting
companies to include in their annual reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2007 a report of management on their company's
internal control over financial reporting, including management's assessment of
the effectiveness of their company's internal control over financial reporting
as of the company's fiscal year end. In addition, the accounting firm auditing a
smaller reporting company's financial statements must also attest to and report
on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. There is a risk that we may not
comply with all of its requirements. If we do not timely complete our assessment
or if our accounting firm determines that our internal control over financial
reporting is not designed or operating effectively as required by Section 404,
our accounting firm may either disclaim its opinion or may issue a qualified
opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
If our accounting firm disclaims its opinion or qualifies its opinion as to the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, then investors
may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could
cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
WE MAY ACQUIRE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL RESULTS AND DILUTE EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
We may pursue additional business relationships through acquisitions
which may not be successful. We may have to devote substantial time and
resources in order to complete acquisitions and we therefore may not realize the
benefits of those acquisitions. Further, these potential acquisitions entail
risks, uncertainties and potential disruptions to our business. For example, we
may not be able to successfully integrate a company's operations, technologies,
products and services, information systems and personnel into our business.
These risks could harm our operating results and could adversely affect
prevailing market prices for our common stock.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a) During the three months ended June 30, 2008, holders of 30,000
shares of Series A preferred stock converted their shares to 600,000 shares of
common stock. The conversion of the Preferred Stock was in accordance with the
terms of the Preferred Stock agreement. We received no proceeds from the
conversion of these shares of Series a preferred stock. The shares of common
stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Series A preferred stock were
issued in transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The resale of the underlying common stock
issued upon conversion of the preferred stock has been registered with the SEC.
No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in conjunction with the
conversions.
