NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Neoware Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements. These statements, while unaudited, reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2004.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (SFAS No. 123) and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Under SFAS 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive option, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. Management is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and expects that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on its financial statements.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” The American Jobs Creation Act includes a tax deduction of up to 9 percent (when fully phased-in) of the lesser of (a) “qualified production activities income,” as defined in the Act, or (b) taxable income (after the deduction for the utilization of any net operating loss carry forwards). This tax deduction is limited to 50 percent of W-2 wages paid by the taxpayer. Pursuant to FSP No. 109-1, the deduction should be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with SFAS No. 109 rather than as a tax rate reduction. FSP No. 109-1 is effective upon issuance. The Company is eligible for this deduction beginning in fiscal 2006 and will account for it as a special deduction. The Company has not yet determined the impact that this deduction will have on its effective rate in fiscal 2006.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Asset’s” an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2006.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” The American Jobs Creation Act (Job Act) introduces a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer (repatriation provision), provided certain criteria are met.

Back to Contents

FSP No. 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision. FSP No. 109-2 is effective immediately and the Job Act was enacted in October 2004. FSP No. 109-2 allows for time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS No. 109. The Company has not yet completed evaluating the impact of the repatriation provisions. Accordingly, the Company has not adjusted amounts that have been reinvested in foreign jurisdictions under APB No. 23, “Accounting for Income Taxes-Special Areas,” to reflect the repatriation provisions of the Jobs Act.

Note 3. Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations for stock options and other stock-based awards while disclosing pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method had been applied in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure.” Had compensation cost been recognized consistent with SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, the Company’s consolidated net income and earnings per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

   Pro forma $ 0.06   $ 0.05   $ 0.19   $ 0.16  
 

 

 

 

 

     The fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards to employees was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming an estimated life of five to ten years, no dividends, volatility of 70% -126%, and risk-free interest rates of 2.1% - 6.8%.

     In December 2004 the Company’s stockholders approved the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2004 Plan”) and the 1995 Stock Option Plan (“1995 Plan”) and the 2002 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”) were terminated as to any shares then available for future grant. The 2004 Plan permits the Company to grant equity-based awards to its directors, executives and a broad-based category of employees. The 2004 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock plus all outstanding options which terminate, expire or are canceled under the existing plan on or after December 1, 2004.

Note 7. Revenue Recognition

     Net revenues include sales of thin client appliance systems, which include the appliance device and related software, and services. The Company follows AICPA Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”) for revenue recognition because the software component of the thin client appliance systems is more than incidental to the thin client appliance systems as a whole. These products and services are sold either separately or as part of a multiple-element arrangement. Revenue is recognized on product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.

     Revenue related to post-contract support services is generally recognized with the initial product sale when the fee is included with the initial product fee, post-contract services are for one year or less, the estimated cost of providing such services during the arrangement is insignificant, and unspecified updates and enhancements offered during the period historically have been and are expected to continue to be minimal and infrequent. Otherwise, revenue from extended warranty and post-contract support service contracts is recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized over the term of the related support period.

Revenue from consulting and training services is recognized upon performance.

     Stock rotation rights and price protection are provided to certain distributors. Stock rotation rights are generally limited to a maximum amount per quarter and require a corresponding order of equal or greater value at the time of the stock rotation. Price protection provides for a rebate in the event the Company reduces the price of products which the distributors have yet to sell to end-users. The Company reserves for these arrangements based on historical experience and the level of inventories in the distribution channel and reduces current period revenue accordingly.

Product warranty costs are accrued at the time the related revenues are recognized.

Note 8. Major Customers and Dependence on Suppliers

     The following table sets forth sales to customers comprising 10% or more of the Company’s net revenue and accounts receivable balances:

  Three Months Ended   Nine Month Ended  
  March 31,   March 31,  
 
 
 
  2005   2004   2005   2004  
 
 
 
 
 
   Net revenues                
      IBM 16 % 18 % 18 % 16 %
      North American distributor 11 % *   11 % *  
      European distributor *   14 % *   *  
                 
  March 31,          
 
         
  2005   2004          
 
 
         
Accounts receivable                
      IBM 16 % 16 %        
      North American distributor 11 % *          
      European distributor 12 % 18 %        

(*) Amounts do not exceed 10% for such period

     IBM and the Company’s distributors resell the Company’s products to individual resellers and/or end-users. The percentage of revenue derived from IBM, individual distributors, resellers or end-users can vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition to the Company’s direct sales to IBM, IBM can purchase the Company’s products through individual distributors and/or resellers. Furthermore, IBM can influence an end-user’s decision to purchase the Company’s products even though the end-user may not purchase the Company’s products through IBM. While it is difficult to quantify the net revenues associated with these purchases, the Company believes that these sales are significant and can vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Subsequent to March 31, 2005, IBM completed the announced sale of its PC Group to Lenovo. The Company’s agreement with IBM continues in effect and we executed a mirror agreement with Lenovo. Accordingly, we do not currently anticipate any change in our IBM related business.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 revenues from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, based on the location of the Company’s primary selling activities with its customers accounted for 42% and 43%, respectively, of net revenues. Sales to the United Kingdom accounted for 17% and 16% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. For the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 revenues from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, based on the location of the Company’s primary selling activities with its customers accounted for 36% and 40%, respectively of net revenues. Sales to the United Kingdom accounted for 14% of net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. No single country accounted for more than 10% of net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

     The Company depends upon a limited number of sole source suppliers for its thin client appliance products and for several of the components in them. One of the Company’s suppliers who provides a substantial portion of the Company’s thin client products informed the Company in late fiscal 2004 that it was experiencing cash liquidity constraints and was evaluating and undertaking financial restructuring actions. In December 2004, the Company agreed to accommodate the supplier by purchasing products for inventory in advance of our contractual obligations and the Company anticipated continuing this practice until such time as the supplier’s cash liquidity situation was resolved. In the March 2005 quarter, this supplier’s liquidity improved and the Company reduced its advance purchase of inventory. Accordingly, inventory levels at March 31, 2005 decreased from the December 31, 2004 levels. However, in the event that this supplier experiences future cash liquidity constraints, the Company could be requested to make advance purchases which would decrease the Company’s cash balance. Additionally, the Company could face an interruption in the supply of a substantial portion of its products. Although the Company has identified alternative suppliers that could produce comparable products, it is likely there would be an interruption of supply during any transition, which would limit the Company’s ability to ship product to fully meet customer demand. If this were to happen, the Company’s revenue would decline and its profitability would be adversely impacted.

     The Company also depends on limited sources to supply several other industry standard components and relies on certain foreign suppliers, which also subject the Company to risks associated with foreign operations such as the imposition of unfavorable governmental controls or other trade restrictions, changes in tariffs, political instability and currency fluctuations. A weakening dollar could result in greater costs to the Company for its components.
