CAS Medical Systems, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2005
 
(1)    The Company

CAS Medical Systems, Inc. (“CAS” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was organized in 1984. The Company designs, manufactures and markets medical products, specifically blood pressure measurement technology, vital signs measurement equipment, cardio-respiratory monitoring equipment and supplies for neonatal intensive care. These products are sold by the Company through its own sales force, via distributors and pursuant to original equipment manufacturer agreements both internationally and in the United States. The Company has several other products in various stages of development that it believes will add to and complement its current product lines.

As described in Note 4, on May 15, 2005 the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Statcorp, Inc. (“Statcorp”). Statcorp develops, assembles and sells blood pressure cuffs, liquid infusion devices, and blood transfusion filters used in the healthcare and medical industry. The results of operations of Statcorp are included in the accompanying financial statements from the acquisition date. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(2)    Basis of Presentation

The financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 was derived from the audited financial statements for the year then ended.

In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and its cash flows have been included in the accompanying financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full year.

Certain 2004 balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

(3)    Restatement

During the 2004 year-end audit, management, together with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that its accounting with respect to a postretirement benefit plan (the “Plan”) was not in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, “Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions”. Under Statement No. 106, companies are required to estimate the total future costs of providing postretirement benefits and recognize that cost over the employees service period. During January 2002, the Company established the Plan for its qualifying employees who reach age sixty-five and have provided ten years of service to the Company. The Plan provides certain prescription drug and supplemental health benefits for Medicare qualified retirees of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan is to provide benefits under an insurance contract paid on behalf of the participants. As described in Note 9, the Company modified the Plan during February 2005 to reduce its costs to the Company.

Statement No. 106 requires the Company to estimate the total cost of providing post-retirement benefits and recognize that cost over the employees’ service period. Prior to retroactively applying Statement No. 106, the Company recognized the benefit cost using the cash basis of accounting. The benefits are funded through the purchase of medical insurance for each retiree each year. The Company continues to fund the Plan on a “pay-as-you-go” basis.

The accompanying statement of income for the three month period ended September 30, 2004 has been restated
 
7

 
to include additional benefit expense related to the Plan of $50,522 and for the related deferred income tax benefit of $17,677. The accompanying statements of income and cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 have been restated to include additional benefit expense related to the Plan of $151,566 and for the related deferred income tax benefit of $53,033.

The Company has evaluated its post-retirement benefit arrangements in accordance with FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003”. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Company’s post-retirement benefit costs do not reflect amounts associated with the subsidy because it is unable to conclude whether the benefits provided by the Plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.
 
(4)    Acquisition

On May 15, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with respect to the purchase of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Statcorp, Inc. (“Statcorp”) from its stockholders. Statcorp, based in Jacksonville, Florida, develops, assembles and sells blood pressure cuffs, liquid infusion devices, and blood transfusion filters for worldwide use in the medical industry. The acquisition enhances the Company’s position in the non-invasive blood pressure monitoring market by offering a complete, low cost, high performance accessories solution to its customers to complement its proprietary monitoring products and OEM technologies. Statcorp also enjoys certain key OEM, private label, and distributor relationships which the Company may seek to expand to its other product lines.  

The initial purchase price was $4,200,000 in cash, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. The purchase price is also subject to adjustment based upon certain post-closing revenues over the twelve-month period effective with the consummation of the Agreement. Under the Agreement, the purchase price may be increased in increments up to a maximum of $1,000,000 depending upon the level of such sales recorded during the twelve months ending May 15, 2006. If, however, Statcorp’s applicable sales for this period fall below a certain base amount, the purchase price will be reduced in increments ranging from $175,000 to $700,000.

As of September 30, 2005, the Company had paid $404,583 with respect to the working capital adjustment provided for under the Agreement. Such consideration was paid on July 6, 2005.

The preliminary allocation of the initial purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was based upon internal valuations and other information. Certain transaction costs of $184,281 were incurred to effect the transaction.

The following table sets forth the components of the purchase price as of September 30, 2005:

(7)    Goodwill

Goodwill is the cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. In connection with the acquisition of Statcorp, the Company has recorded goodwill of $3,093,586. The Company will evaluate the carrying value of goodwill for potential impairment at least annually.

(8)    Warranty Costs

The Company warranties its products for up to three years and records the estimated cost of such product warranties at the time the sale is recorded. Estimated warranty costs are based upon actual past experience of product returns and the related estimated cost of labor and material to make the necessary repairs. If actual future product return rates or the actual costs of material and labor differ from the estimates, adjustments to the accrued warranty liability would be made.

A summary of the changes in the Company’s warranty accrual follows:

In February 2005, the Company amended the plan to require participants to contribute fifty percent of health insurance premiums under the plan beginning September 1, 2005. The plan amendment reduced the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $524,500 resulting in an unrecognized prior service gain of approximately $185,000. This gain is being recognized over the average remaining service life of the plan participants which is approximately 5.6 years.
 
Plan health insurance premiums paid by the Company were approximately $19,700 and $20,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company expects that premium payments will approximate $26,300 in 2005.


(10)    Earnings per Common Share

The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. No potentially dilutive securities are included in the denominator. Diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise or conversion of dilutive securities. Warrants to purchase 22,500 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding at September 30, 2004 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 147,500 shares of the Company’s common stock were similarly not included for the periods ended September 30, 2005.

(11)    Stock-Based Compensation

The Company primarily grants qualified stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations where, generally, when the exercise price of stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. Had compensation cost for the stock option awards been determined to be consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been changed to the following pro forma amounts:

SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” requires that a public entity measure the cost of equity-based service awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award or the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006. The Company has not yet evaluated the likely effects on its financial statements.

(12)    Financing Arrangements

On May 16, 2005, the Company consummated a $4,200,000 fixed rate loan agreement at 6% with its bank lender to finance the acquisition of Statcorp. The loan was payable beginning July 1, 2005 in eighty-four monthly installments of approximately $61,000. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants including, but not limited to, debt service coverage and debt to net worth ratios.

On August 29, 2005, the Company renewed its $3,000,000 line-of-credit with its bank lender. The maturity date of this agreement has been extended for two years and expires on September 1, 2007. Borrowings under the line-of-credit are payable on demand and bear interest at the banks base rate which may change from time to time (6.75% at September 30, 2005). At September 30, 2005 there were no borrowings under the line of credit. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company is permitted to borrow against accounts receivable and inventories according to pre-established criteria.

Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under its financing arrangements.


(13)    Grant Awards

The Company has been awarded various grants by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the NIH under its Small Business Innovative Research Program. Grants under this program are being used to support development of a new technology, Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (“NIRS”) which can non-invasively measure the brain oxygenation level of a neonatal patient. In accordance with the terms of these grants, the Company is reimbursed for certain qualifying expenditures.

Grants under the NIH program include a phase II award received during May 2004 approximating $1,000,000 for continued development in the adult population. During March 2004, the Company was awarded a $100,000 grant for developing a new generation of automated non-invasive blood pressure (“NIBP”) monitors, which have incorporated advanced NIBP algorithms that compensate for arterial stiffness.

During the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, approximately $210,000 and $160,000, respectively, of certain research and development costs were reimbursed under the grants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, approximately $461,000 and $304,000, respectively, of such costs were reimbursed. Funding provided to the Company is being recorded as a reduction in R&D expenses. The Company recognizes the reimbursement on an accrual basis as the qualifying costs are incurred.
 
The Company is pursuing additional NIH grants to support its NIRS research.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements included in this report, including without limitation statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are not historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s current expectations regarding future events. The Company cautions that such statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results which may be contained in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following: foreign currency fluctuations, regulations and other economic and political factors which affect the Company’s ability to market its products internationally, new product introductions by the Company’s competitors, increased price competition, dependence upon significant customers, availability and cost of components for the Company’s products, marketplace acceptance for the Company’s new products, FDA and other governmental regulatory and enforcement actions, and changes to federal research and development grant programs presently utilized by the Company.

Restatement

During the 2004 year-end audit, management, together with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that its accounting with respect to a postretirement benefit plan (the “Plan”) was not in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, “Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions”. Under Statement No. 106, companies are required to estimate the total future costs of providing postretirement benefits and recognize that cost over the employees service period. During January 2002, the Company established the Plan for its qualifying employees who reach age sixty-five and have provided ten years of service to the Company. The Plan provides certain prescription drug and supplemental health benefits for Medicare qualified retirees of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan is to provide benefits under an insurance contract paid on behalf of the participants. In February 2005, the Company amended the plan to require participants to contribute fifty percent of health insurance premiums under the plan beginning September 1, 2005.

Statement No. 106 requires the Company to estimate the total cost of providing post-retirement benefits and recognize that cost over the employees’ service period. Prior to retroactively applying Statement No. 106, the Company recognized the benefit cost using the cash basis of accounting. The benefits are funded through the purchase of medical insurance for each retiree each year. The Company continues to fund the Plan on a “pay-as-you-go” basis.

The Company has evaluated its post-retirement benefit arrangements in accordance with FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003”. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Company’s post-retirement benefit costs do not reflect amounts associated with the subsidy because it is unable to conclude whether the benefits provided by the Plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.

The accompanying statements of income for the three month period ended September 30, 2004 have been restated to include additional benefit expense related to the Plan of $50,522 and for the related deferred income tax benefit of $17,678. The accompanying statements of income and cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 have been restated to include additional benefit expense related to the Plan of $151,566 and for the related deferred income tax benefit of $53,033.
 
The discussion that follows reflects, as applicable, restated amounts for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company reported net income of approximately $433,000, or $0.04 per common share on a diluted basis compared to net income of $384,000 or $0.03 per diluted share reported for the same period of 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company reported net income of approximately $1,166,000, or $0.10 per diluted share compared to net income of $861,811, or $0.08 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The Company generated revenues of $7,476,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 an increase of $2,441,000, or 48%, over revenues of $5,035,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Sales of Statcorp products accounted for $1,810,000 of the increase in revenues. Increases in blood pressure product sales of 14%, primarily from sales of vital signs monitors, accounted for the remainder of the increase in revenues.

The Company recorded revenues of $18,307,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $3,832,000, or 26%, over the $14,475,000 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Sales of Statcorp products accounted for $2,632,000 of the increase in overall sales. Increases in blood pressure product sales of 16% and neonatal product sales of 14% accounted for the balance of the increase in revenues. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in Apnea product sales.

The cost of product sold was $4,383,000 or 58.6% of revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $2,666,000 or 53.0% for the same period of 2004. Cost of product sold for the first nine months of 2005 was $10,349,000 or 56.5% compared to $7,900,000 or 54.6% for the same period of the prior year. The increase in cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues for both periods is related to the lower average gross margins on products sold by Statcorp. Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues for all other products combined were slightly lower for both periods reported.

Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased $156,000 to $365,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $209,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. R&D expenses increased $170,000, or 24%, to $900,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $730,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in R&D spending for both periods resulted primarily from engineering project spending, professional consulting fees and facilities related costs resulting from the Company’s lease commitment to separately house certain of its R&D efforts which were partially offset by increases in reimbursements from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) under established grant programs. R&D expenses before reimbursements increased 31.7% to $1,361,000 or 7.4% of revenues for the nine months ended compared to $1,034,000 or 7.1% of revenues for the first nine months of the prior year. The Company has ongoing grant programs with the NIH and anticipates continued reimbursements under these programs during the remainder of 2005.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) increased $459,000, to approximately $2,018,000 or 27.0% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $1,559,000 or 31.0% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004. S,G&A expenses of Statcorp accounted for $288,000 of the increase. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses accounted for $130,000 of the remainder of the $171,000 increase in S,G&A expenses. S,G&A expenses increased $631,000, to $5,217,000 or 28.5% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $4,586,000 or 31.7% of revenues for the same period of the prior year. Statcorp expenses of $440,000 were primarily responsible for the increase in S,G&A expenses. Increases in marketing salaries and related fringe benefits and G&A expenses were primarily responsible for the balance of the increase in S,G&A expenses.
 
Interest expense increased to $64,000 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $13,000 for the third quarter of 2004. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $100,000 compared to $63,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in interest expense for both periods resulted from the Statcorp acquisition loan consummated on May 16, 2005. Interest expense for the prior year was primarily related to certain outstanding bank term debt that the Company subsequently paid off in advance during the second and third quarters of 2004, and the Company’s mortgage on its main facility.
 
14

 
The provision for income taxes of $214,000 and $575,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflects an expected effective rate of approximately 33% for 2005. The combined estimated federal and state effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate as a result of anticipated R&D tax credits. The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2004 reflects an effective tax rate of 35% offset by an $80,000 income tax benefit resulting primarily from a refund pertaining to state R&D tax credits.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2005, the Companys cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,090,000 compared to $1,973,000 at December 31, 2004. Working capital increased by $1,070,000 to $7,176,000 at September 30, 2005, from $6,106,000 on December 31, 2004. The Company’s current ratio declined to 2.7 to 1 from 4.0 to 1 partially due to the rise in inventory and associated accounts payable and to the effects of consolidating Statcorp as of May 15, 2005 which had lower levels of working capital and related ratios.

Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $315,000 compared to $2,101,000 for the first nine months of the prior year. Increases in inventories and accounts receivable were primarily responsible for the decrease in cash provided by operations compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Inventory increases partially resulted from delays in the launch of a new product for which components have been purchased. Also, management increased inventory purchases during the third quarter of 2005 in anticipation of significant orders for its vital signs monitors, a portion of which were planned to be shipped during early fourth quarter 2005. These orders primarily relate to the Company’s blanket purchasing agreement with the Veterans Administration. In addition, Statcorp increased inventory levels in anticipation of the Company’s transition of its blood pressure cuff product line to the Statcorp line. The Company expects to consume these materials in the fourth quarter of 2005. Additionally, Statcorp has increased its inventory levels in order to improve customer order fulfillment. Income before depreciation and amortization and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset increases in inventory and accounts receivable and decreases in income taxes payable. During the first nine months of 2005, the Company paid $834,000 in income taxes compared to $172,000 of refunds received during the first nine months of 2004.

Cash used by investing activities was $5,323,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $471,000 for the first nine months of the prior year reflecting $313,000 of increased expenditures for equipment and intangible assets and $4,539,000 for the purchase of Statcorp. Equipment purchases of $571,000 were primarily related to the acquisition and installation of the Company’s new enterprise resource planning system and related hardware upgrades, leasehold improvements related to a three year facilities lease agreement effective December 2004, and manufacturing inspection equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $4,124,000 compared to cash used of $1,085,000 for the first nine months of the prior year. During May 2005, the Company entered into a fixed rate multi-year obligation for $4,200,000 with its bank to fund the Statcorp acquisition. During the first nine months of 2004, the Company repaid $1,122,000 of outstanding debt obligations.

On August 29, 2005, the Company renewed its $3,000,000 line-of-credit with its bank lender. The maturity date of this agreement has been extended for two years and expires on September 1, 2007. Borrowings under the line-of-credit are payable on demand and bear interest at the banks base rate which may change from time to time (6.75% at September 30, 2005). At September 30, 2005 there were no borrowings under the line of credit. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company is permitted to borrow against accounts receivable and inventories according to pre-established criteria.

Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under its financing arrangements.

The Company believes that its source of funds consisting of cash generated from operating activities and funds available from the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet its current and expected requirements over the next twelve months. Management believes that, if needed, it would be able to find incremental sources of funds on commercially acceptable terms.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the un-audited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimates include those related to revenue recognition, the valuation of inventories, and valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, useful lives of intangible assets, warranty obligations and accruals. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a complete description of accounting policies, see Note 3 to our financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. There were no significant changes in critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.


ITEM 3 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of disclosure controls and procedures in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Reference is made to the Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer about these and other matters attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1 to this report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 5 OTHER INFORMATION

Modification to Loan Agreement

On August 29, 2005, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement with NewAlliance Bank pursuant to which it renewed its $3,000,000 line-of-credit with NewAlliance Bank. The maturity date of the line of credit has been extended for two years and expires on September 1, 2007. Borrowings under the line-of-credit are payable on demand and bear interest at the bank’s base rate which may change from time to time (6.75% at September 30, 2005). At September 30, 2005 there were no borrowings under the line of credit. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company is permitted to borrow against accounts receivable and inventories according to pre-established criteria. Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under this and the Company’s other debt financing arrangements. The foregoing description of the Modification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Modification Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Amendment to Employment Agreement

On November 8, 2005, the Company entered into Amendment Number Six (the “Amendment”), dated as of September 1, 2005, to its Employment Agreement with Louis P. Scheps, its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Amendment, Mr. Scheps shall be employed by the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer, and shall serve as a director of the Company if elected by the stockholders, through March 31, 2007. Mr. Scheps will then serve as a part-time employee in a senior executive role from April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2009 and will remain as a director of the Company if elected by the stockholders. Mr. Scheps will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board during the term of the employment agreement if elected as such by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Amendment, as of October 1, 2005, Mr. Scheps will be compensated at an annual salary of $275,000. Commencing April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2009 Mr. Scheps will be compensated at an annual salary of $100,000. From October 1, 2005 to October 1, 2007 the Company will maintain life insurance coverage for Mr. Scheps naming Mr. Scheps as the insured party in an amount not less than $250,000. Further, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure continuation of Mr. Scheps Company paid life insurance for the period October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2009 in amounts commensurate with existing coverage of $250,000.

The change of control provisions of the employment agreement were revised pursuant to the Amendment such that if a Change of Control (as defined) occurs and Mr. Scheps’ employment terminates for any reason after such Change of Control occurs, including termination by Mr. Scheps, Mr. Scheps will be paid a lump sum of $275,000 within ten (10) days of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing if the Change of Control occurs on or after April 1, 2007, Mr. Scheps will be entitled to $100,000, rather than $275,000, except that if an agreement of sale or merger agreement is executed while Mr. Scheps is being paid at the $275,000 rate but the Change of Control is not consummated until after April 1, 2007 then his payment under this provision will be equal to $275,000 rather than $100,000.

The Amendment defines “Change of Control” as (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (ii) a merger involving the Company in which the Company’s stockholders prior to the merger control less than fifty percent of the voting stock of the surviving entity, (iii) a sale by the Company’s stockholders to an acquirer or acquirers action in concert of more than a majority of the then outstanding stock of the Company owned by the Company’s stockholders, or (iv) any event similar to any of the foregoing.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
