NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

 

Zunicom, Inc., ("Zunicom" or the "Company") was formed on January 10, 1992 as a Texas corporation. Zunicom's consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary, AlphaNet Hospitality Systems Inc. ("AlphaNet"), has been a provider of guest communication services to the hospitality market. AlphaNet discontinued this business as of August 31, 2010. Accordingly, the results of this discontinued operation are presented in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operation above. In April of 2010, AlphaNet purchased the assets and business of Action Computer Systems and is now a reseller of point-of-sale software and hardware to restaurants in southern Connecticut, Westchester County, New York, and New York City (Note K). Zunicom also holds a 41 percent ownership interest in Universal Power Group, Inc. (UPG), a distributor and supplier to a diverse and growing range of industries of portable power and related synergistic products, provider of third-party logistics services and a custom battery pack assembler.

 

NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generallyaccepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this filing should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

NOTE C - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, of $12,678 and $12,678, respectively, represents the amortization of the restricted stock grant to the Company's chairman in 2007.

 

As of March 31, 2011, $12,114 of the restricted stock grant to the Company's chairman remains unamortized.

 

Valuation Assumptions

 

The fair values of option awards are estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.

NOTE C - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

 

Activity and Summary

 

Stock option activity under the 1999 and 2000 stock option plans was as follows:

 

 

  

 
 
      Weighted Average
  Number of Shares    Exercise Price
 Options outstanding at December 31, 2010  125,000    $ 0.71
 Granted  --    $ --
 Exercised  --    $ --
 Canceled, lapsed or forfeited  --    $ --
 Options outstanding at March 31, 2011  125,000    $ 0.71

 

The following table summarizes stock options outstanding under the 1999 and 2000

stock option plans at March 31, 2011:

 

   Options Outstanding    Options Exercisable
     Weighted        
     Average        
     Remaining  Weighted      Weighted
   Number of  Contractual  Average    Number of  Average
 Range of  Options  Life  Exercise    Options  Exercise
 Exercise Prices  Outstanding  (in years)  Price    Exercisable  Price
 $ 1.75  25,000  5.9  $ 1.75    25,000  $ 1.75
 $ 0.45  100,000  2.0  $ 0.45    100,000  $ 0.45
 $ 0.45 - $ 1.75  125,000  2.8  $ 0.71    125,000  $ 0.71

 

  

At March 31, 2011, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $20,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $20,000. The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company's common stock for those awards that have an exercise price currently below the quoted price. At March 31, 2011, all outstanding options were fully vested.

 

NOTE D - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) decreased (increased) by the preferred stock dividends of $5,870 and $5,870 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,respectively, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income decreased by the preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. The Company's common stock equivalents include all common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock and the exercise of outstanding stock options. 

 

10

 
 

 

NOTE D - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

 

The dilutive effect of 100,000 in-the-money options and the dilutive effect of the conversion of 60,208 shares of preferred stock into 120,416 shares of common stock have not been included in the computation of dilutive net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 or for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE E - UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTEE

 

The Company's investment in UPG is accounted for under the equity method of accounting for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Following is a summary of financial information of UPG for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

NOTE F - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

 

The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below:

oLevel 1: consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market

 

o Level 2: consists of financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models use inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; Level 2 inputs include (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (iii) pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument and (iv) pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the financial instrument

 

oLevel 3: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models that utilize significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation

The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial instruments and their classification within the fair value hierarchy. Financial instruments are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There have been no changes in the classification of any financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy.

 

NOTE H - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid a cash dividend of $5,870 and $5,870, respectively, to the holders of its class A Preferred Stock.

 

NOTE I - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2011, the Company is not subject to any ongoing legal proceedings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12

 
 

 

 

NOTE J - PURCHASE OF BUSINESS

 

On March 30, 2010, AlphaNet entered into a binding agreement to acquire the business and the assets of Advanced Computer Software, Inc., a New York corporation, doing business as Action Computer Systems for a purchase price of $495,000. Action Computer Systems is a reseller of point-of-sale software to restaurants in the New York metropolitan area and southern Connecticut. The software, Restaurant Manager, was developed by Action Systems Inc., Silver Spring, Maryland. On April 23, 2010, AlphaNet closed on the acquisition and now provides point-of-sale software, hardware systems and maintenance and support to restaurants in the New York metropolitan area and southern Connecticut.

 

The Company accounted for this purchase under the acquisition method of accounting. The following represents the purchase price allocation at the date of the acquisition:

 

 Customer Lists  $335,000
 Covenant not to compete  150,000
 Fixed Assets  10,000
 Purchase price  $495,000

 

Supplemental pro-forma information regarding the results of the combined entity for the comparative periods presented in these consolidated financial statements has not been presented, as the financial information of the business prior to acquisition is not available, and it is impracticable for management to reasonably estimate the effect for such disclosure.

NOTE K – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

In August 2010, the Company discontinued its guest communications services business. The Company chose to abandon the assets associated with this business and accordingly has written these assets off in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

The asset related to discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2011 is a deposit of $5,000. For the same period in 2010, assets related to discontinued operations included cash of $6,493, inventory of $6,226, deposits of $5,653 and prepaid expenses of $4,972. The liability related to discontinued operations in 2011 and 2010 is accounts payable of $289,102.

 

 

NOTE L - ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE

 

With the purchase of the business of Action Computer Systems in April 2010, the Company is now a reseller for Action Systems Inc. (ASI) in Silver Spring, Maryland, the developer of Restaurant Manager, a point-of-sale computer software system designed for restaurants. Should ASI fail to develop and issue improvements for the Restaurant Manager software to keep pace with technological developments and the operational needs of restaurants, Restaurant Manager's competitive position could be diminished and the Company's business would be harmed.

 

Should ASI cease operation of its business, the Company would be forced to identify other point-of-sale software that it could offer to the restaurant industry. The Company has an effective sales and marketing, and service and support infrastructure in place and an installed system base in excess of 450 customers which could make it an attractive reseller for one of the many point-of-sale software systems offered to restaurants. However, there is no guarantee that the Company would be able to identify such a replacement system or, if identified, complete an arrangement satisfactory to the Company or to the system developer.

 

 

NOTE M - INVENTORY

Beginning with the period ended March 31, 2011, management is performing a monthly inventory of components and parts to be sold and installed in POS systems. Accordingly, the balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, includes inventory valued at cost.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

 

Zunicom's selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 were $97,733 compared to $131,906 for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $34,173 or 25.9%. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased legal and consulting fees related to the wind down of the Office (TM) product and the acquisition of Action Computer Systems.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded $29,750 in depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations compared to $0.0 in 2010. The increase is due to depreciation and amortization of the assets acquired in the acquisition of Action Computer Systems.

Net cash used in operating activities was $136,513 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $161,975 for the same period in 2010. The cash used in operating activities is attributable to the net loss of $12,754 plus depreciation of $29,750, stock based compensation of $12,678, provision for income taxes of $63,955 less equity in earnings of investee of $154,827, and a decrease in working capital of $75,317.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 there was no cash flow used in investing activities.
