NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of
operations and cash flows have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have
been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a
full year. The information included in this Form 10-QSB should be read in
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis and the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's financial statements for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the period from December 7, 1987
through December 31, 1996, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. As outstanding stock options,
warrants and other common stock equivalent shares are antidilutive, their effect
has not been included in the calculation of net loss per common share.
CHANGES IN CAPITAL
The Company previously reported the issuance in March 1997 of 3,000
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for total proceeds of $3,000,000
(less issuance costs of $167,350). During the third quarter of 1997, the Company
issued an aggregate of 740,266 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of and in
payment of accrued dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
On September 24, 1997, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") for total proceeds
of $5,000,000 (less issuance costs of $37,829). Holders of Series C Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of $50.00 per
annum per share of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of the
Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at a
conversion price equal to the lesser of $14.52 or 80% of the market price of the
underlying shares of Common Stock measured over a specified period immediately
prior to each conversion date (all as set forth in the Statement of Rights and
Preferences for the Series C Preferred Stock). The terms of the conversion
represent a beneficial conversion feature calculated at the date of issuance as
the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common
stock into which the preferred stock is convertible, multiplied by the number of
shares of common stock into which the security is convertible. The amount of the
beneficial conversion feature, $1,250,000, has been allocated to common stock,
and the resulting preferred stock discount will be amortized ratably by the
Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
Page 6
<PAGE> 7
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 68, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock, as a non-cash
return on the Preferred Stock from the date of issuance through the date the
security is first convertible. The Company amortized $97,222 as a non-cash
return on the Series C Preferred Stock during the third quarter. On November 5,
1997, the holder converted 2,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and accrued
dividends thereon into an aggregate of 212,171 shares of Common Stock.
RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's September 30, 1997 financial
statements, management determined that the Company's Series A convertible
preferred stock, issued during the second and third quarters of 1996, should
have been accounted for in accordance with the guidance in Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") D-60, "Accounting for the Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock
and Debt Securities with a Nondetachable Conversion Feature." EITF D-60 requires
that a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock
with a beneficial conversion feature equal to the intrinsic value of the
beneficial conversion feature be allocated to paid-in capital. The resulting
preferred stock discount is amortized as a return on the preferred stock and
reduces income attributable to common stock, during the period from the date of
issuance to the date the security is first convertible. Management also
determined that the amortization of preferred stock discount previously recorded
as a charge to accumulated deficit should have been charged to common stock
because the Company does not have retained earnings. Additionally, management
determined that the provisions of the Company's Series C convertible preferred
stock, issued in September 1997, contain redemption features which result in the
requirement to present such preferred stock as Redeemable Securities outside of
Shareholders' Equity on the Balance Sheet.
The accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 1997 and for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the period from December 7,
1987 (inception) to September 30, 1997, have been restated to account for the
Series A convertible preferred stock, which included beneficial conversion
features, in accordance with EITF D-60, to reclassify as a charge to common
stock the amortization of preferred stock discount previously charged to
accumulated deficit, and to present the Series C convertible preferred stock as
Redeemable Securities. The following presents the effects of the restatement on

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
As discussed in the notes to financial statements, subsequent to the issuance of
the Company's September 30, 1997 financial statements, management determined
that the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock, issued during the
second and third quarters of 1996, should have been accounted for in accordance
with the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") D-60, "Accounting for
the Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock and Debt Securities with a
Nondetachable Conversion Feature." EITF D-60 requires that a portion of the
proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock with a beneficial
conversion feature equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion
feature be allocated to paid-in capital. The resulting preferred stock discount
is amortized as a return on the preferred stock and reducing income attributable
to common stock, during the period for the date of issuance to the date the
security is first convertible. Management also determined that the amortization
of preferred stock discount previously recorded as a charge to accumulated
deficit should have been charged to common stock because the Company does not
have retained earnings. Additionally, management determined that the provisions
of the Company's Series C convertible preferred stock, issued in September 1997,
contain redemption features which result in the requirement to present such
preferred stock as Redeemable Securities outside of Shareholders' Equity on the
Balance Sheet.
The Company's financial statements as of September 30, 1997 and for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the period from December 7,
1987 (inception) to September 30, 1997, have been restated to account for the
Series A convertible preferred stock, which included beneficial conversion
features, in accordance with EITF D-60, to reclassify as a charge to common
stock the amortization of preferred stock discount previously charged to
accumulated deficit, and to present the Series C convertible preferred stock as
Redeemable Securities. The adjustments have no effect on the Net Loss of the
Company or on its cash flows. The Financial statements and related disclosures
contained in this amended filing reflect, where appropriate, changes to conform
to the restatement.
PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information set forth in this Item 2 includes 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, as amended, and is
subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. For a discussion of Risk
Factors that could affect the Company's future performance, please see "Risk
Factors" contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996.
OVERVIEW
The Company is a development stage enterprise that has an accumulated
net operating loss of approximately $37.3 million as of September 30, 1997.
Approximately 28% of the Company's funding to date has been from Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency ("DARPA") research funding, with the remainder
provided primarily through the sale of securities.
The Company has experienced net losses in each year of operations and
expects to incur further substantial losses while it tests its Multithreaded
Architecture (MTA) system prototype and commences production, and possibly
thereafter. The Company has had no revenue or earnings. In November 1996, the
Company announced that the University of California at San Diego had ordered the
first MTA system production model for installation and evaluation at the San
Diego Supercomputer Center, utilizing a grant from the National Science
Foundation. The agreement calls for the phased-in delivery of an MTA system of
up to eight resource modules, for a total consideration to the Company of $4
million. The Company will recognize revenue only as resource modules are
accepted. Initial deliveries under this agreement may occur during the fourth
quarter of 1997. The Company has experienced delays, however, in receiving
integrated circuits and printed circuit boards from its suppliers which meet its
design specifications and, given the Company's reliance on sole source
third-party vendors, it
Page 7
<PAGE> 8
is possible that deliveries will not be made until 1998, if ever. See "Risk
Factors - Manufacturing Risks; Reliance On And Capacity Of Third-Party Sole
Source Suppliers" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1997
Research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was $9.0 million, compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 1996.
Increases in manufacturing costs and in wages and benefits due to increased
staff were largely offset by decreases in non-recurring hardware engineering
expense and prototype parts cost. Costs related to the development of MTA
systems accounted for approximately 84% of the Company's operating expenses in
the first nine months of 1997, a decrease from approximately 88% in the
comparable 1996 period. However, these expenses increased from $3.1 million in
the second quarter of 1997 to $3.9 million in the third quarter. During the
second quarter of 1997, $1.3 million was directly related to the completion and
testing of the prototype, and pre-production costs, whereas such costs, plus the
expenses relating to inventory obsolescence, to lower of cost or market
inventory adjustments and to future system development accounted for over $2.0
million in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter of 1997 and in 1998,
although non-recurring hardware engineering expense and prototype parts cost for
the current MTA implementation should continue to decrease, research and
development expense will continue to be a major expense as the Company devotes
greater effort to future system development.
Marketing and sales expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
was $635,000 compared to $441,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of
44%. General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was $1,066,000 compared to $767,000 for the same period in 1996, an
increase of 39%. The increase in marketing and sales expense was due to
additional sales and customer support staff, and the increase in general and
administrative expense was due largely to additional staff and increased legal,
accounting and other operating costs associated with being a publicly owned
company. These expenses are expected to increase commensurate with any growth in
the Company's business or operations.
The Company currently is billing DARPA under a research contract awarded
in September 1995. Billings under this contract were approximately $186,000 in
1996, primarily in the fourth quarter, and are expected to be approximately
$400,000 in 1997, with $349,000 collected in the first nine months. In August
1997, the Company was awarded a $1,080,000 subcontract from the San Diego
Supercomputer Center as part of an 18-month contract between DARPA and the San
Diego Supercomputer Center to implement, optimize and evaluate certain defense
related applications on the Tera MTA system. Of that sum, the Company will
subcontract approximately an aggregate of $515,000 to The Boeing Company and the
Sanders division of Lockheed Martin
Page 8
<PAGE> 9
Corporation. The Company expects to begin billing under this subcontract in the
fourth quarter.
In the first nine months of 1997, the Company recorded a $52,000 charge
for dividends on the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and
amortized an aggregate non-cash return on Preferred Stock of $847,000 arising
from beneficial conversion features of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
in August 1997 and the issuance of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in
September. See the discussion under "Changes in Capital" in the "Notes to
Financial Statements," above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its incorporation through September 30, 1997, the Company's
principal sources of liquidity have been net proceeds from the sale of
securities totaling $48.1 million and DARPA research funding of approximately
$19 million. At September 30, 1997, the Company had $9.0 million in cash and no
bank line of credit.
The Company used cash for operations of $12.0 million during the first
nine months of 1997, as compared to $8.4 million during the comparable period in
1996. The increase in the first nine months of 1997 over the comparable period
of 1996 was primarily due to increases in inventory purchases, advances to
suppliers and payroll, offset in part by a decreases in accounts payable and
depreciation expense. Although depreciation expense decreased by $65,000 to
$543,000 for the first nine months of 1997 over the comparable period in 1996,
primarily due to expiration of capital leases in the first six months of 1997,
depreciation expense increased by $12,000 to $200,000 in the third quarter of
1997 over the third quarter of 1996.
The Company's investing activities have consisted primarily of
expenditures for fixed assets, which have totaled $3.6 million from the date of
incorporation through September 30, 1997, net of proceeds on disposal of assets.
Expenditures were $393,000 and $1,007,000 for the first nine months of 1996 and
1997, respectively, with $742,000 spent in the third quarter of 1997, an
increase of $561,000 over the third quarter of 1996. This increase primarily
reflects acquisitions of additional electronic and computing resources.
On September 24, 1997, the Company raised $5,000,000 (less issuance
costs of $37,829) from the sale of its Series C Preferred Stock, as discussed
under "Changes in Capital" in the "Notes to Financial Statements," above.
The Company's current working capital needs depend primarily upon its
personnel costs, the cost of components purchased to complete the testing of its
initial MTA system prototype and manufacturing startup costs, and inventory and
receivable financing associated with production MTA systems. The Company has
experienced delays in the development of particular components of the MTA system
that have
Page 9
<PAGE> 10
increased the need for working capital, and the Company could experience
significant additional delays in the manufacturing process that could further
substantially increase the Company's need for working capital. Personnel
operating costs will be required to fund ongoing research, development and
engineering efforts, development of a customer service organization, capital
expenditures for leased equipment and increases in its sales and marketing
efforts. Additionally, the Company's administrative functions will increase in
order to support its engineering and sales efforts.
The Company's current cash resources, along with funds anticipated from
sales of MTA systems, are sufficient to meet the Company's working capital
requirements through the next twelve months. If the shipment and acceptance of
the Company's initial MTA system are delayed substantially beyond the fourth
quarter in 1997, or if the Company does not receive additional purchase orders
for MTA systems in the first quarter of 1998, the Company will need additional
capital in order to continue its present operations and inventory acquisitions.
To meet its needs in 1998, the Company expects to receive revenues from sales of
MTA systems, and from the sale of additional equity or debt or other financing
transactions, which may be dilutive to present shareholders. There can be no
assurance that any additional financing will be available when needed or, if
available, will be on satisfactory terms.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share," which modifies the existing standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier
application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the application of
SFAS No. 128 to have a material effect on the Company's earnings (loss) per
share.
