4. Long-Term Debt

On June 25, 2004, the Company entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement ("Bank Agreement") with Associated Bank which provided for a term loan in the original amount of $723,700.  The term loan under the Bank Agreement was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and was being repaid in monthly installments of $21,900, including interest at a rate of 5.5 percent per annum, with final payment due July 1, 2007.  Final payment was made in July, 2007.

The current total debt balance of $273,572 represents a note payable to a former shareholder that requires an annual payment of $35,000, including interest at 4.75%, due October 1 and running through 2016.


5. Stock Options

In May 2001, the Company approved a Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (Plan).  The Plan reserves 1,400,000 shares of common stock for grant.  As of August 31, 2007, 1,400,000 stock options were granted to directors, officers and employees.  As of August 31, 2007, there were 956,036 stock options exercised and 51,182 stock options forfeited or expired under the Plan.

Effective December 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method.  Under this method, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes and the Company recognizes compensation cost using a fair-value based method for all share-based payments granted after November 30, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees up through November 30, 2006 that remain unvested at that time.  Prior to December 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its share-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  The Company recorded compensation cost arising from share-based payment arrangements in payroll-related expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Company’s stock option plan of approximately $26,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 2007.

The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on the Company’s net income and net income per share as if the Company had adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation under FASB No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2006 and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted under the stock option plan for the three and nine months then ended.

As of August 31, 2007, there was approximately $74,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plan.  That cost is to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 4.25 years.

The Company uses historical volatility of common stock over a period equal to the expected life of the options to estimate their fair value.  The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of future dividend payouts on the common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. To value option grants and other awards for actual and pro forma stock-based compensation, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model. When the measurement date is certain, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant and is based on the assumptions used for the expected stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and future dividend payments.

The Company’s stock options expire in 10 years and vary in vesting from immediate to a vesting period over five years.

The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable at August 31, 2007:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before income taxes, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $.98 as of the last business day of the period ended August 31, 2007.  Total intrinsic value of those options exercised during the quarter and nine months ended August 31, 2007 is $0 and $19,000, respectively.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment upon adoption of the standard and annually thereafter.  SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process.  The first step is to identify a potential impairment and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any.   Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit's net assets exceeds its estimated fair value.  SFAS No. 142 requires that indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment using a one-step process, which consists of a comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the intangible asset.  Intangible assets are deemed to be impaired if the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value.  The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the first quarter ended February 28, 2007, and it indicated no impairment of goodwill.


7. Commitments and Contingencies

None


8. Restatement

During the last quarter of the year ended November 30, 2006, the Company adopted SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, which addresses how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements.  As a result, an adjustment was made to the November 30, 2005 Stockholders’ Equity, in the amount of $74,000, relating to the accrual for accounting fees and the period in which services for the respective fiscal period were to be performed.  The effect of the adoption of SAB No. 108 on the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2006 was to decrease and increase professional service fees by $5,000 and $12,000, respectively, and, therefore, increase and  decrease the previously reported net income.

The impact to the specific balances in the Consolidated Statement of Income as of and for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2006, as a result of the above adjustments, is as follows.  The amounts previously reported are derived from the original Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended August 31, 2006 filed on October 13, 2006.

Adoption of SEC Staff Bulletin No. 108

During the year ended November 30, 2006, the Company adopted the SEC Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, which addresses how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements.  For the year ended November 30, 2006, there was an adjustment to Stockholders’ Equity, in the amount of $74,000, related to the accrual for accounting fees and the period in which services for the respective fiscal period were performed, and there was no income statement effect because the related accrual was overstated by the same amount at the beginning and end of the year. (See Note 8 Restatement)


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method.  Under this method, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes and the Company recognizes compensation cost using a fair-value based method for all share-based payments granted after November 30, 2006, plus any awards granted to employees up through November 30, 2006 that remain unvested at that time.  Prior to December 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its share-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”.  The Company recorded compensation cost arising from share-based payment arrangements in payroll-related expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Company’s stock option plan of approximately $26,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 2007.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.  FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law.  FIN No. 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.  FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2007).  The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that may result from the adoption of FIN No. 48.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP and does not require any new fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2007), and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier adoption is encouraged.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or results of operations or cash flows.


Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved, could result in material changes to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions.  The Company's most critical accounting policies are related to the following areas: revenue recognition, long-lived assets, concentrations of credit risks, valuation allowance and deferred taxes.  Details regarding the Company's use of these policies and the related estimates are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2007.  There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies that impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the nine months ended August 31, 2007.


ITEM 3.
 
 
Disclosure controls

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) as of August 31, 2007.  Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.


Internal control over financial reporting

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer confirm that there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
