PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION
We are engaged in the design, production (directly and/or through subcontractors) and distribution of small electronic and electromagnetic components and sub-assemblies for use in telephone, radio and microwave transmission and reception and other communication areas that are used in both military and commercial applications. Our products are used for transceiving various quantities, data and protective relaying functions in industrial, utility and other markets.

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

HISTORY
We were organized in 1968 and were engaged primarily in the design and manufacture of electronic components and systems for military applications.

In July 1971, we merged with DSI Systems, Inc., then engaged in the development and manufacture of terminal viewers for digital retrieval of microfilm. Later that year, we changed our name to Conolog Corporation.

In 1981 we acquired one of our customers, INIVEN Corporation (“INIVEN”). At that time, we were manufacturing, on behalf of INIVEN, a line of transmitters and receivers used for controlling and transceiving the measurement of the flow of gases and liquids, by gas and water utilities for controlling the flow of waste water and sewage and measuring and controlling traffic.

During 1987, we made a strategic decision to redirect our focus from military to commercial markets. Since that time, we have refocused on manufacturing and marketing our products for the commercial marketplace rather than depend on the military and defense-related markets. Our primary emphasis was on products for electric utilities, co-generation of power, gas and water companies, traffic control for departments of transport (DOT) and airports utilizing DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology.

In September 1998, we acquired the assets of Atlas Design, Inc., a human resource outsourcing company, to further our strategy of mergers and acquisitions, and to assist in providing qualified engineering and technical staff in support of our longer term contracts.

In January 2001, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Prime Time Staffing Inc. and Professional Temp Solutions, Inc. These companies provided permanent and temporary employees for the graphics design firms, book publishing companies and engineering businesses.

During the year ended July 31, 2001, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Lonogoc Corporation. In August, 2000, Lonogoc Corporation purchased the assets of Independent Computer Maintenance Corporation, which provided installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of computer systems and networks. On October 22, 2002, we entered

1


an agreement to rescind the Asset Purchase Agreement between us and Independent Computer Maintenance Corporation. Under the rescission agreement, Conolog and its subsidiary agreed to transfer all assets previously purchased pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, to the extent they still exist, to the former seller. The return of the purchase price paid for the assets was $600,000, $300,000 in cash at closing, a note, which is secured by a first mortgage on a condominium, for $150,000 bearing an interest rate of 7.5% of which will be paid over 24 months in equal monthly installments of $6,750 per month beginning December 2002, and an unsecured note receivable for $137,350 payable over 10 years beginning December 2004 bearing an interest rate of 5%.

In March 2004, we ceased operating our staffing business. The assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nologoc, Inc. trading as Atlas Design, were sold to the subsidiary’s Vice President. In consideration of the sale, we received $34,000 in cash.

PRODUCTS
We are engaged in the design and manufacture of (i) transducers, which are electro-magnetic devices which convert electrical energy into mechanical and other forms of physical energy, or conversely convert mechanical and other forms of physical energy into electrical energy; (ii) digital signal processing (DSP) systems and electromagnetic wave filters for differentiation among discreet audio and radio frequencies; (iii) audio transmitters and modulators, for the transmission over telephone lines, microwave circuits, or satellite, of electrical signals obtained from transducers, data generated in electronic code form or by computers or other similar equipment (not manufactured by us); (iv) audio receivers and demodulators which are small systems which receive and decode the signals from the audio transmitters and convert them into digital codes for input into computers, teletypes or other similar equipment (not manufactured by us) or convert such signals into mechanical or other form of energy, such as opening or closing valves, or starting or stopping a motor; (v) magnetic “networks” which are devices that permit the matching or coupling of different types of communication equipment together or many identical or similar equipment together or onto telephone or other transmission lines so as not to cause interference; and (vi) analog transmitters and receivers, which permit the coding/transmission and receiving/decoding of a constantly variable data, such as the water level in a tank, pressure in a pipe or temperature, by actually displaying the exact information at the receiving end in digital form for storing in a computer or other devices, or by physically displaying the information in a visual fashion such as a numerical readout or meter, and (vii) multiplexer supervisory controls, which enable callers with high volumes of supervisory data to transmit on fewer phone lines.

Such products are used in radio and other transmissions, telephones and telephone exchanges, air and traffic control, automatic transmission of data for utilities, tele-printing of transmitted data such as news and stock market information and for use by electric utilities in monitoring power transmission lines for faults and/or failures. Our products may be used independently or in combination with other products to form a system type configuration, whereby our equipment is pre-assembled in a large cabinet with other equipment in a configuration that would provide the end user with protection as well as operational status displays.

COMMERCIAL “INIVEN” SALES AND PRODUCTS

“INIVEN” equipment is designed around four (4) core product groups:

 

 

 

 

1)

PTR and PDR Teleprotection Series (Protective Tone Relaying Communications Terminal), which includes the PTR-1000, PTR-1500 and PDR-2000.

 

 

 

 

2)

Audio Tone & Telemetry Equipment (Audio Tone Control, Telemetering and Data Transmission Systems), which includes Series “98”, “68”, “40” and “GEN-1”.

 

 

 

 

3)

4)

Communication Link Multihead Fiber Optic Couplers and Industrial Grade 1200 Baud Modems.

PTR AND PDR TELEPROTECTION SERIES
This product is designed for use exclusively by electric power generators (electric utilities and co-generators) in order to protect their transmission and distribution lines. The PTR-1000, by monitoring the output signal of the transmission equipment in less than one hundredth of a second protects the transmission and distribution lines.

The PTR-1000 are installed in pairs, one unit at each end of the line. Each unit is connected and in constant communication with the other, as they continuously monitor the line for faults. In the event of a fault occurring (such as a downed line or a short circuit) at either end and when confirmed by the receiving PTR-1000 unit, the line is immediately isolated for shut down, averting costly damage and downtime.

The PTR-1000 system is composed of a transmitter, dual receivers, a logic card (brain center and controller of the system), relay module, line interface module and power supply module. The transmitters at each end are independent and transmit (continuously) the status (information being monitored) at their end of the line.

The PTR-1500, is a quad system and performs as 2 duals or 4 singles with many unique features such as multiple line operation, event recording with date stamp with optional analog or digital transmission modes including optic fiber interface.

The PDR 2000 is an 8 channel high speed communication system for use in electric power transmission protection schemes. Unique features include event recording, on-board and remote programming, and ID (unit to unit identification on all communications), Packet Forwarding (ability to forward information such as trips and all events through indirect communication paths), password protection and multiple communication ports.

The PTR/PDR Teleprotection Series are designed for global use by electric utilities and any entity generating power for its own consumption with resale of surplus power to an electric utility, such as cities, municipalities, cooperatives and large corporations that find it more economical to generate their own electricity.

The PTR/PDR market is:

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

New installations; i.e., new transmission lines, new distribution segments, for utilities and cogenerators.

3



 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Existing installations not properly protected, improving efficiency and reducing down time.

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Existing installations for upgrading to PTR/PDR technology, again improving efficiency and down time.

Sales efforts for the PTR/PDR are presently being conducted by the Company’s marketing executives, through independent manufacturers’ representatives and through distributors. Sales are targeted primarily to the largest utilities and co-generators.

In the United States alone, there are over 500 large entities generating electricity. They are:

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Municipal Systems

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Cooperative Systems

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Federal, State and District Systems

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Audio Tone and Telemetry Equipment

For many years there has been a need for a modularly independent system that would permit a user, from a distance, to control functions such as opening a valve, starting a motor, shutting down a compressor, changing a traffic signal, control landing lights at an airport, activate a hazard warning on a highway, and in return allow the user to receive information, such as the liquid level in a tank, the pressure in a pipe, the rate of flow out of a compressor, the flow of traffic, the status of a traffic light, airport lights, or confirmation that a command was performed. Such information is transmitted and received and the control functions are performed from a distance utilizing telephone lines, microwave link or direct wire.

These applications, by their nature, can be accomplished with slow speed signaling systems composed of a transmitter on one end and a receiver on the other to carry out the necessary instructions provided by the transmitter. Each set (transmitter/receiver combination) is called a channel. Because of the slow speed, up to 30 channels could be made to transmit and receive signals, in either direction on a single telephone line, microwave link or direct-wired line at the same time. This parallel transmission permits each transmitter/receiver pair to be independent of all the others.

This product segment includes the first generation equipment, known as GEN-1, followed by later generations which include technological improvements and programmable capabilities to include:

GEN-1 Series - First generation with electromagnetic modules and first generation programmable modules without electro-magnetic modules.

“98” and “68” Series - The latest generation applies DSP and microprocessor technology with full programmability, in the field or at the factory.

“40” Series - Designed to function with the “98” or “68” series; transmits and receives variable analog data.

GEN-1 AND GEN-1 PROGRAMMABLE SERIES
The diversity of applications for this equipment makes it available for a wide range of users who are not restricted to a single industry. Typical industrial uses include: the measurement of water and gas, waste water, gasoline, oil, traffic, and electricity. Typical users include: utilities, co-generators, airports, navy yards, telephone companies, paper and pulp processors and wherever remote control and data acquisition is required.

Since our line has a distinct mechanical configuration, we designed our GEN-1 Programmable units and other improvements as replacements for existing units.

4


Our line of GEN-1 equipment is extensive and provides the user with the ability to perform multiple control functions, status monitoring as well as continuous variable data monitoring, such as a level in a tank or pressure gauge.

Sales for this line are primarily for the replacement of existing installations and for expansion of these installations where it would not be economical to install the latest technology, which would not be mechanically compatible.

Sales to this market are made in the same manner as the PTR/PDR market except that manufacturers’ representatives specialize in selling to this diverse market.

“98,” “68” and “40” Series represent our latest designs in the audio tone equipment utilizing the more advanced DSP technology, which provides high accuracy and long-term stability. These features have allowed us to greatly improve the scope, density and number of functions that can be performed on a single phone line, microwave link or direct line.

Sales of these products are made by the same agents who sell our GEN-1 products, but are also directed to encompass more sophisticated users with larger amounts of data and control points. The mechanical configuration of the “98” series is more compact, permitting more equipment in a given space, while performing many more functions when it is connected to the “40” Series. The “68” Series is the “98” Series repackaged mechanically specifically for customers with older systems permitting them to upgrade their systems to DSP technology. The “40” Series, when connected to the “98” or “68” in the same chassis, permits the continuous monitoring of variable data.

Typical applications for these products include transmission of the variable data (such as volume, temperature, pressure and moisture) for water, gas, industrial gases, oil, gasoline, transportation equipment and telephone exchanges, and for use at airports, tunnels and bridges and for security and electricity systems.

MULTIPLEX SUPERVISORY (IM) CONTROL SYSTEM
This product is a response to the cost and scarcity of dedicated phone lines (connections whereby the phone link is dedicated to one subscriber), and enables customers with high volumes of supervisory data (where many functions are monitored from a single site) to transmit data on fewer phone lines (i.e., with more data per channel, up to a maximum of 30 channels per line).

Using the “98” DSP Series as its communications link, we designed the Multiplexer Supervisory Control System to handle 8 times the normal capacity per channel. The microprocessor-based system allows a single telephone line to handle up to 900 data inputs. This product line because of its data density capability may be utilized for a very broad range of applications. This product has only recently been introduced and our sales efforts for it are being conducted through its existing independent manufacturers sales representatives.

FIBER OPTIC LINK AND DATA MODEM
The expansion of fiber lines by our customers and their need to switch equipment from phone lines to fiber prompted us to design and introduce a fiber-optic-coupler line to interface with the many different fiber heads. In addition to complete data interface couplers we launched a series of 1200 Baud Modems (Industrial Grade) for operation under the same environmental specifications in line with our products.

OUR STRATEGY
Our strategy is to develop new commercial markets by continuing to develop new products and enhance existing products to improve both our market share and competitive position. Growth in commercial sales is expected to come through internal growth of existing products, new product introductions and the expansion of regional markets to meet the growing needs of our customers for more sophisticated and comprehensive products and services.

5


MARKETING AND SALES
In general, our products are marketed through telemarketing and customer contacts by our President and through independent manufacturing sales representatives and distributors.

COMPETITION
The market for our products and staffing services is very competitive. There are several companies engaged in providing the services and in the manufacturing the products of the type produced by us, most of which are substantially larger and have substantially greater name recognition or greater financial resources and personnel. The major competitive factors include availability of personnel, product quality, reliability, price, service and delivery. Competition is expected to continue and intensify. The market is also characterized by rapid technological changes and advances. We would be adversely affected if our competitors introduced technology superior products or offered these products and services at significantly lower prices than our products.

INVENTORY

RAW MATERIALS
We believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials available for use in our business. Our products are assembled from a variety of standard electronic components, such as integrated circuits, transformers, transistors, passive components (i.e., resistors, capacitors and inductors), diodes and assorted hardware, such as, printed circuit boards, connectors and faceplates. We are not dependent upon any single supplier. We also purchase a number of other electronic components and sub-assemblies from various suppliers.

In the past, we manufactured and held in our inventory finished products pursuant to the military specifications and based upon the military forecast for future quantities and delivery schedules. Widespread military procurements were discontinued as a result of the end of the cold war and the downsizing of the military establishment. Consequently, management made a decision to write off a substantial amount of the military inventory in 2001 and 2002. As a result, we no longer manufacture military products in advance. Rather, we only schedule production as purchase orders are received.

MANUFACTURING
The Company currently rents approximately 7,000 square feet of the facility located at 5 Columbia Road, for a combination of manufacturing and office space. The Company assembles, under normal workload conditions, the product it sells; however, to accommodate the peak demands that occur from time to time, we can engage a number of subcontractors to assemble boards to our specifications. All assemblies, however, are inspected and fully tested by our quality, engineering and testing departments. We maintain test equipment and every product is burned-in (i.e., each product is run at full power for 48 hours) and tested prior to shipment.

6


WARRANTY AND SERVICE
We provide a twelve-year warranty on our products, which covers parts and labor. The Company, at its option, repairs or replaces products that are found defective during the warranty period providing proper preventive maintenance procedures have been followed by customers. Repairs that are necessitated by misuse of such products are not covered by our warranty.

In cases of defective products, the customer typically returns them to our facility in Somerville, New Jersey. Our service personnel then replace or repair the defective items and ship them back to the customer. Generally all servicing is completed at our plant and customers are charged a fee for those service items that are not covered by the warranty. We do not offer our customers any formal written service contracts.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

New Products –

“GlowWorm” Fiber Optic Detector, an independent standalone product for detection of fiber optic cable failures without the need to cut the cable, will be introduced in January 2010.

The CM-100 platform, is the first of its kind, direct substation hardened communication consolidator that fills the existing gap in substation communications. The hardwired CM-100 will allow our existing products, including the PDR-2000, to operate seamlessly over fiber optics together with existing substation equipment. This system is in final testing and will be ready for production in fiscal 2010.

During fiscal year 2009 we have invested $368,331 in product development.

During fiscal year 2008 we have invested $150,173 in product development.

During fiscal years 2006 and 2007 we have invested $376,713 and $372,723, respectively, in product development.

During fiscal years 2004 and 2005, we invested $93,984 and $177,338, respectively, in product development.

During fiscal year 2002 and 2003, we invested approximately $800,000 and $0, respectively for product development.

During fiscal 2001, we proceeded with the design of the PDR-2000 8- channel digital transfer trip communications product. During fiscal 2001-2002 we invested approximately $774,757 to complete design of the PDR-2000, 8-channel digital transfer trip communications.

The Company also developed a new platform for its GEN-1 products allowing for its use by the Canadian utilities.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
We do not have any patents covering any of our present products. We do have registered trademarks and Copyrights for Conolog and Iniven. We use the name INIVEN for our commercial products. We believe that this name is recognized in our industry. We believe that our prospects are dependent primarily on our ability to offer our customers high quality, reliable products at competitive prices rather than on our ability to obtain and defend patents. We do not believe that our INIVEN name is of material importance to the Company’s business.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous existing and proposed federal and state regulations designed to protect the environment, establish occupational safety and health standards and cover other matters. We believe that our operations are in compliance with existing regulations and we do not believe that such compliance has had or will have any material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. With respect to military sales, we are not subject to any special regulations. The products manufactured are done so in accordance with accepted commercial practices.

7


EMPLOYEES
As of July 31, 2009, we employed 16 people on a full-time basis, including two in management, two in sales, one clerical, one in accounting, one in purchasing, six in engineering and quality control and three in production. We have enjoyed good labor relations.

None of our employees are represented by a labor union or bound by a collective bargaining agreement. We have never suffered a work stoppage. We believe our future success will depend, in part, on our continued ability to recruit and retain highly skilled management, marketing and technical personnel.

ITEM 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our principal executive offices are located at 5 Columbia Somerville, New Jersey. The space consists of approximately 7,000 square feet of which approximately 5,000 square feet is dedicated to manufacturing, production and testing and approximately 2,000 square feet is dedicated to administrative and storage needs. Our current monthly rent expense is $ 4,600. In the opinion of management, the space is adequately covered by insurance.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Meyers Associates, L.P. v. Conolog Corporation, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York Index No. 600824/07.

On March 13, 2007, Meyers Associates, L.P. commenced an action against Conolog Corporation, asserting that: (1) Conolog breached a purported contract it had with Meyers pursuant to which it claims Meyers was to act as lead underwriter in connection with a Regulation D securities offering for Conolog, and (2) Conolog misappropriated a purported confidential list of potential investors. Conolog denies the allegations in the complaint and intends to vigorously defend against Meyers’s claims.

On May 7, 2009, The Supreme Court of New York issued a Stipulation of Dismissal, dismissing all claims asserted by Meyers Associates, with prejudice.

Allen Wolfson v. Conolog Corporation, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case Number 08-cv-3790.

On April 22, 2008, Allen Wolfson filed an action against Conolog Corporation, asserting that there was a breach of contract in connection with four consulting contracts allegedly entered into with “plaintiff and entities controlled by plaintiff.” On June 10, 2008, the company filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint on the grounds that the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over the Company or, in the alternative, for Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. A Stipulation of Dismissal was issued during July 2009.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Subsequent Event:

The Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), dated as of August 3, 2009 ( the “Closing Date”), with three investors, pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of One Million Dollars of its principal amount of secured convertible notes (the “Notes”). On the Closing Date the Company received gross proceeds of $500,000 and $500,000 (the “Escrowed Funds”) was placed in escrow pursuant to an Escrow Agreement between the Company, the Subscribers and Grushko & Mittman, as escrow agent. The Company paid the placement agent in the transaction $50,000 in fees. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company had to file a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission by September 2, 2009 seeking approval for the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Company must obtain approval of its shareholders within 90 days of the Closing Date (125 days if the SEC reviews the proxy statement.). On

10


September 24, 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved the transaction (the “Shareholder Approval”) and the Escrowed Funds were released. After the payment of fees in the amount of $50,000 to to the placement agent in the transaction, the Company received net proceeds of $450,000 (prior to the deduction of other fees and expenses related to the Offering).

The initial interest rate of the Notes was 4% and after the Shareholder Approval, it became 8% per annum. Interest on the notes accrues from the date of the Closing Date is payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing six months after the Closing Date and on the maturity date of the Note. The Conversion Price of the Notes is the lessor of $.78 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) as may be adjusted (the “Initial Conversion Price”). Commencing six months after the Closing Date, the Conversion Price shall be the lessor of the Fixed Conversion Price or 75% of the lowest three closing bid prices for the Company’s common stock for the ten days prior to when the Note is converted.

The Company also issued the Subscribers Class A Warrants to purchase 2,564,103 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.12 per share. The Class A warrants are exercisable for a period beginning on August 3, 2009 and terminate on August 3, 2014.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company also issued the Subscribers a total of 40,000 class B Warrants. The Class B Warrants entitles the Subscribers at any time after the sooner of six months from the Closing Date or after the Company obtains the Shareholder Approval, until July 3, 2012, to purchase up to $4,000,000 of principal amount of the Company’s 8% notes on the same terms as the Notes. Upon the exercise of the Class B Warrants, the holder of the Class B Warrant will be issued two Class C Warrants for Each share of the Company’s common stock that would be issued on the exercise date of the Class B Warrant assuming the full conversion of the notes issued on such date. For each $100,000 of principal of notes purchased pursuant to the Class B Warrants, the Subscribers will surrender 1,000 Class B Warrants.

The Notes cannot be converted to the extent such conversion would cause the Subscriber, together with such holder’s affiliates, to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately following such conversion.

The Company also entered into a Security Agreement pursuant to which it granted the Subscribers a security interest in its assets. The security interest granted pursuant to the Security Agreement will terminate when the Approval is obtained or the Notes (including outstanding interest due thereon) are repaid.

In connection with the transaction, the Company issued the placement agent (or its employees) warrants to purchase 256,410 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The issuance and sale of the Notes and warrants pursuant to the Subscription Agreement was made in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. No form of general solicitation or general advertising was conducted in connection of the Private Placement. The issuance of the warrant to the selling agent (including its employees and affiliates) was made in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2009 COMPARED to 2008
Product revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 totaled $1,485,298 an increase of 21.7% or $264,305 from the product revenue reported for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 of $1,220,993. The Company attributes this increase in revenues to long-term contract awards received during this fiscal year. Deliveries on these contracts began in early 2009.

Product cost (Material and Direct labor) for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 amounted to $470,392 or 31.7% of product revenues. Product cost for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 amounted to $467,081 or 38.2% of product revenues. The Company attributes the decrease in the current year’s product cost as a percentage of revenue and corresponding increase in the current year’s Gross Profit of $373,165 to the standardizing of costs to build our new PDR-2000 system and the outsourcing of assemblies.

For fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 the Company expensed $82,138 in obsolete inventory parts. This compares to $112,171 of obsolete inventory parts expensed during the fiscal year July 31, 2008.

11


Total Operating expenses for fiscal July 31, 2009 were $2,672,943 a decrease of $1,700,135 from $4,373,078 reported for fiscal July 31, 2008. The Company attributes this decrease to forgiveness of Officers Salary, reduced legal fees and a decrease in the value of stock compensation costs.

Other expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 decreased by $2,540,274 to $695,995 from $3,236,269 for fiscal July 31, 2008. Included in this current years’ expense is a non-cash expense related to the induced conversion benefit of $552,370; a non-cash interest expense related to conversion of debt for $286,584 and the amortization of fees related to the conversion of debt for $123,274.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common shares of $2,354,032 or $0.98 per share for fiscal 2009, compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of $6,967,606 or $23.49 per share (as restated for the stock reversal for fiscal 2009).

2008 COMPARED to 2007
Product revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 totaled $1,220,993 an increase of 136% or $703,288 from the product revenue reported for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 of $517,705. The Company attributes this increase in revenues to new long-term contract awards received during this fiscal year. Deliveries on these contracts began in early 2008.

Product cost (Material and Direct labor) for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 amounted to $467,081 or 38.2% of product revenues. Product cost for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 amounted to $378,563 or 73.1% of product revenues. The Company attributes the increase in the current year’s product cost of $88,518 and corresponding increase in the current year’s Gross Profit of $614,770 (excluding the write down of obsolete inventory) to the standardizing of costs to build our new PDR-2000 system. Outsourcing of assemblies and the continued use of assembly standards under ISO-9000 also added to this lower cost.

For fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 the Company, in compliance with its inventory management policy, expensed $112,171 of cost relating to obsolete inventory parts. This compares to $1,256,155 of obsolete inventory parts expensed during the fiscal year July 31, 2007.

Total Operating expenses for fiscal July 31, 2008 were $4,373,078 an increase of $817,318 from $3,555,760 reported for fiscal July 31, 2007. The Company attributes this increase to higher legal fees to defend against lawsuits and an increase in the value of stock compensation costs, offset by reduced research and develop costs and stock compliance costs.

Other expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 decreased by $391,136 to $3,348,754 from $3,739,890 for fiscal July 31, 2007. Included in this expense is a non-cash expense related to the induced conversion benefit of $1,387,087; a non-cash interest expense related to conversion of debt for $606,598; the amortization of fees related to the conversion of debt for $504,740 and the write off of discount on converted debt of $864,892.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common shares of $6,967,606 or $4.70 per share for fiscal 2008, compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of $8,121,067 or $12.78 per share (as restated for stock reversal for fiscal 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at July 31, 2009 was $2,028,582 compared to $2,049,641 at year ended July 31, 2008.

Accounts receivable have decreased from $360,846 at July 31, 2008 to $245,980 at July 31, 2009. This decrease of $114,866 is the result of delay by customers in accepting shipments.

The Company expects to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months through existing cash balances and cash generated from operations. However, we anticipate that we may require additional financing to expand our operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional financing or that such additional financing, if available, will be on terms and conditions acceptable to us. The inability to obtain additional financing

12


should it be required will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our development plans

INFLATION
Management believes that the results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management does not expect inflation to have a significant effect on its operations in the future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management uses its best judgment in valuing these estimates and may, as warranted, solicit external professional advice and other assumptions believed to be reasonable. The following critical accounting policies, some of which are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates, affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

INCOME RECOGNITION
Revenue is recorded in accordance with the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which supersedes SAB No. 101.Revenue from product sales are recognized at the time of shipment (when title has passed) upon fulfillment of acceptance terms; products are not sold on a conditional basis. Therefore, when delivery has occurred the sale is complete as long as the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The preparation of financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the collectivity of our accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has a concentration risk in trade accounts receivable with significant sales to the government and local agencies. The credit evaluation process has mitigated the credit risk, such losses have been minimal, and within management expectations.

INVENTORY VALUATIONS, COMPONENTS AND AGING
Inventories are valued at the lower cost or market. Determined by a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.The Company’s products are used in radio and other transmissions, telephone and telephone exchanges, air and traffic controls, automatic transmission of data for utilities, tele-printing of transmission data such as news and stock market information and for use by electric utilities in monitoring power transmissions lines for faults and/or failures.

The Company currently manufactures and supports over 400 products and assemblies that have been in the market place since 1970. The Company’s inventory represents approximately 10,000 different components and 2,500 assemblies. The Company presents its inventory in three categories, Finished Goods, Work-in-Process and Raw Materials. Finished Goods represents products that have been completed in connection with specific orders and are awaiting shipment. Finished Goods can consist of produces like the PDR-2000, PTR-1500 and 1000, Gen 1, 98 and 68 series. Work-in-Process represents components that have been requisitioned from the warehouse and are being assembled in the assembly areas. Depending on the configurations required by a customer, products are completed and tested within 8 to 10 business days. Raw Materials represent components in their original packaging stored in a secured warehouse area, and may consist, in part, of Face plates, PC boards, Digital screen assemblies, Guide rails, Capacitors, Terminals, Power supplies, Process ships, Chassis and racks, Relays, Keypads and Resistors.

The Company provides a twelve-year warranty on all commercial products and is required by Government regulation to design and produce military products with a minimum 25-year operating life in addition to shelf life.

Every component, regardless of age, has been purchased to meet the above criteria and may be used in any and all above said assemblies. Management believes that this inventory, which is minimally adequate, is required to implement the Company’s commitments to military requirements for present and delivered orders.

13


The Company, following inventory analysis and repeated annual testing, established a 3-year rule for maintaining inventory, which requires a write-down policy for inventory parts depending on their age. The inventory is tested annually applying its 3-year rule and the Company classifies as current assets only that amount of inventory it expects to realize in the next one-year operating cycles, any balance of the inventory is classified as non-current. Any parts which have not been used for 3 years are valued at zero. Any parts, written down to a zero value under the 3-year rule, are maintained in inventory to satisfy the requirements under our long-term warranty programs.

WARRANTY
The Company provides a twelve-year warranty on its products; the warranty covers parts and labor. The Company, at its option, repairs or replaces products that are found defective during the warranty period providing proper preventive maintenance procedures have been followed by customers. Repairs necessitated by misuse of such products are not covered by our warranty. In cases of defective products, the customer typically returns them to the Company’s facility in Somerville, New Jersey. The Company’s service personnel will replace or repair the defective items and ship them back to the customer. All servicing is completed at the Company’s main facility and customers are charged a fee for those service items that are not covered by the warranty. We do not offer our customers any formal written service contracts.

INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes.

ITEM 8 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The financial statements of Conolog Corporation, together with notes and the Independent Registered Public Accountants’ Report, are set forth immediately following Item 14 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of a within ninety (90) days of the filing date of this Form 10-K Annual Report. Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

The Company’s board of directors was advised by Bagell, Josephs, Levine & Company, L.L.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that during their performance of audit procedures for 2009 Bagell, Josephs, Levine & Company, L.L.C. identified a material weakness as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

14


The deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews. However, the size of the Company prevents us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2009. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment our management has concluded that our control and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report due to the existence of the significant internal control deficiencies described below.

The deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely effective reviews. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
Conolog Corporation
Somerville, New Jersey

          We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Conolog Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended July 31, 2009. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Conolog Corporation and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended July 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CONOLOG CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2009 AND 2008

 

 

NOTE 1-

NATURE OF ORGANIZATION

 

 

 

Conolog Corporation (the “Company”) is in the business of design, manufacturing and distribution of small electronic and electromagnetic components and subassemblies for use in telephone, radio and microwave transmissions and reception and other communication areas. The Company’s products are used for transceiving various quantities, data and protective relaying functions in industrial, utility and other markets. The Company’s customers include primarily industrial customers, which include power companies, and various branches of the military.

 

 

 

The Company formed a wholly owned Subsidiary, Nologoc Corporation. In September 1998, Nologoc Corporation purchased the assets of Atlas Design, Incorporated. In January, 2001, Nologoc Corporation purchased the assets of Prime Time Staffing, Incorporated and Professional Temp Solutions Incorporated. Atlas Design, Prime Time Staffing and Professional Temp Solutions provide short-term and long-term qualified engineering and technical staff, as well as human resource consulting to various industries. In March 2004 the Company ceased operating its staffing business. The assets of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Nologoc, Inc. trading as Atlas Design, were sold to the Company’s vice-president of operations of Atlas Design.

 

 

NOTE 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Conolog Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

 

 

Cash and Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of twelve months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents balances at financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times during the year, balances in certain bank accounts may exceed the FDIC insured limits.

 

 

 

Certificates of Deposits

 

At July 31, 2008, the Company had one six month certificate of deposit totaling $600,182, with interest at a rate of 4.3% which matured September 2008. At July 31, 2009 the Company did not have a certificate of deposit.

 

 

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.

 

 

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, less allowances for depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation was $23,373 and $24,000 for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

CONOLOG CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2009 AND 2008

 

 

NOTE 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(CONTINUED)

 

 

 

Research and Development

 

Research and Development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and Development costs were $57,089 and $150,173 for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recorded in accordance with the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which supersedes SAB No. 101. Revenue from product sales are recognized at the time of shipment (when title and risks and rewards of ownership have passed) upon fulfillment of acceptance terms; products are not sold on a conditional basis. Therefore, when delivery has occurred the sale is complete as long as the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

 

 

 

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The preparation of financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the collectivity of our accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has a concentration risk in trade accounts receivable with significant sales to the government and local agencies. The credit evaluation process has mitigated the credit risk, such losses have been minimal, and within management expectations.

 

 

 

Other Current Assets

 

In 1998, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation allowing emerging technology and/or biotechnology companies to sell their unused New Jersey Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) Carryover and Research and Development Tax Credits (“R&D” Credits) to corporate taxpayers in New Jersey. During fiscal years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company entered into agreements to sell its unused NOL’s. Other current assets at July 31, 2009 and 2008 represent the gross proceeds to be received under such contracts.

 

 

 

Advertising / Public Relations Costs

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(CONTINUED)

 

 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes.

 

 

 

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

 

Loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss (after dividends on preferred shares) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. The preferred dividends are not reflected in arriving at the net loss as they are not material and would have no effect on earnings per share available to common shareholders. The number of weighted average shares used in the computations was 2,396,924 and 296,676 (adjusted for a 1:5 reverse stock split) for 2009 and 2008 respectively. The effect of assuming the exchange of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in 2009 and 2008 would be anti-dilutive.

 

 

 

Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the calculation of Earnings per Share.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In 1998, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation allowing emerging technology and/or biotechnology companies to sell their unused New Jersey Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) Carryover and Research and Development Tax Credits (“R&D” Credits) to corporate taxpayers in New Jersey. During fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement under which it will sell $551,937 of its NOL carryover. The total net proceeds of this transaction will amount to approximately $486,000 and a portion is recorded as other income in the accompanying financial statements.

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, and net operating losses.

The temporary differences causing deferred tax benefits are primarily due to net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has established a valuation allowance at the full value of the deferred tax asset.

At July 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax (Book) purposes of approximately $49,000,000 and $46,800,000 respectively, which is available to offset future Federal and State taxable income through 2029.

There was no provision for income taxes for the year ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, each stock option shall terminate no later than ten years (or such shorter time as may be fixed by the Committee) after the date in which it was granted.
