ELCOM
INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Elcom International,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Quarterly
Presentation
In
the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Elcom as
of
March 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for
these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results
of
any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain financial
information that is normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
but which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted.
For
further information, reference should be made to the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes included in Elcom’s Annual Report on Form
10-KSB, for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Going
Concern
The
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008
have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a
going concern. Elcom has incurred net losses every year since 1998, has an
accumulated deficit of $134,027,000 as of March 31, 2008, and expects to incur
a
loss in fiscal year 2008. As of March 31, 2008, Elcom had $1.3 million of cash
and cash equivalents and current assets of approximately $2.5 million and had
current liabilities of approximately $4.7 million. The ultimate success of
Elcom
is dependent upon achieving additional revenues by marketing its software
solutions, typically through channel partners, until the Company is operating
profitably. Elcom has incurred significant operating losses and has used cash
in
operating activities in each of the last several years, including $1.3 million
of cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2007, and $57,000 of cash used
in
operating activities in the first quarter of 2008. Elcom’s ability to continue
as a going concern is primarily dependent upon its ability to grow revenue
and
attain further operating efficiencies and, if necessary, to also attract
additional capital. During October and November 2007 and March 2008, Elcom
received convertible loans from a non-US investor of £1,000,000 (approximately
$2,000,000). The loans are repayable upon demand and convertible at the option
of the Payee into shares of common stock, at the price of 3.5p or $.07 per
share, subject to adjustment, downwards only, in the event that Common Stock
or
any equity instruments are issued at a price lower than 3.5p or $.07 at anytime.
The loans are expected to be converted into shares prior to their maturity
in
2012.
Elcom
believes that as a result of these loans, it has the funds required to perform
under its current contracts. However, Elcom expects to incur a net loss in
2008,
albeit at a significantly reduced level to that in 2007.
Elcom
cannot assure that additional financing will be available on favorable terms,
or
at all. If funds are not available when required for working capital needs
or
other transactions, Elcom’s ability to carry out its business plan could be
adversely affected, and Elcom may be required to further scale back its
operations to reflect the extent of available funding. If Elcom is able to
arrange for additional credit facilities from lenders, the debt instruments
are
likely to include limitations on Elcom’s ability to incur other indebtedness, to
pay dividends, to create liens, to sell its capital stock, or enter into other
transactions. Such restrictions may adversely affect Elcom’s ability to finance
its future operations or capital needs or to grow its business. If Elcom raises
additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the
percentage ownership of the Company’s existing stockholders will be reduced.
These securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those
of
the common stockholders.
If
Elcom
is unable to consummate any equity financing or receive additional loaned monies
to provide sufficient working capital, Elcom would likely be forced to curtail
operations and/or seek protection under bankruptcy laws. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Elcom
uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock-based
compensation awarded after January 1, 2007. There were no stock-based
compensation awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The
weighted-average gross fair value of awards under Elcom’s stock option plans
during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0.08 for each share covered
by
an option grant, utilizing the following assumptions:

|
Elcom
has
generally relied upon its historical information as the most reasonable basis
to
determine its valuation assumptions with respect to share-based payments,
because it has no reason to believe that its future experience will differ
from
its historical experience. The volatility figure is based on the daily actual
historical volatility of Elcom’s common stock over a five year period
(consistent with the expected life of the options). The volatility is based
on
the reported trading of Elcom’s common stock on the Over The Counter Bulletin
Board, and NASDAQ Capital Market, as applicable. The risk-free interest rate
is
based on the U.S. Government five year Treasury Constant Maturity rate, with
a
five year term. The expected life of an option is based on Elcom’s historical
experience since January 1, 1996, shortly after it became a public company.
The
expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that Elcom has never paid
a
dividend and does not presently have an intention to pay cash dividends.
Based
on
Elcom’s historical turnover rates, an overall annualized estimated forfeiture
factor of 15% has been utilized, and in certain specific instances when it
is
known that options will be forfeited, such forfeitures are taken into
consideration. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, additional expense will be
recorded in future periods if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than
estimated, and a recovery of prior expense will be recorded if the actual
forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.
As
of
March 31, 2008, the Company had unamortized stock-based compensation, net of
expected forfeitures, aggregating approximately $674,764, which will be
amortized to expense over the requisite service periods, currently through
January 2009. The unamortized stock-based compensation will be recognized over
a
weighted average period of approximately 12 months.

The
aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding is calculated based on the
positive difference between the closing market price of the Company’s common
stock at the end of the respective period and the exercise price of the
underlying options.
The
total
grant-date fair value of stock options that vested during the three months
ended
March 31, 2008 was $197,193.
In
March
2008, Elcom received convertible loans from a non-US investor of £250,000
(approximately $498,000). The loans are repayable upon demand and convertible
at
the option of the Payee into shares of common stock, at the price of 3.5p or
$.07 per share, subject to adjustment, downwards only, in the event that Common
Stock or any equity instruments are issued at a price lower than 3.5p at
anytime. The loans are expected to be converted into shares at some stage in
the
future. The convertible notes that were issued in connection with these loans
were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under Regulation
S
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1993, as amended.
A
discount of $209,279 was recorded for the imputed interest rate upon issuance
of
the convertible notes. The discount is amortized utilizing the effective
interest method over the period commencing on the issuance date to the stated
maturity date. Elcom is utilizing an average interest rate of 11% derived from
its capital lease obligations in calculating imputed interest.

Elcom
evaluated its convertible notes for derivative treatment according to SFAS
133
and EITF 00-19 and determined that the conversion feature did not meet the
definition of liability and therefore did not need to be bifurcated and recorded
at fair market value. Elcom also evaluated the conversion feature for a
beneficial conversion feature in accordance with EITF 98-5 and determined that
at inception, there was no beneficial conversion feature.

Subsequent
Events
During
May 2008 and June 2008, Elcom received convertible loans from a non-US investor
of £100,000 and £330,000 (approximately $856,000), of which £100,000 of the June
proceeds was used to repay the May loan, and £80,000 was used to partly repay a
loan received in March 2008. The loans are repayable upon demand and convertible
at the option of the Payee into shares of common stock, at the price of 3.5p
per
share, subject to adjustment, downwards only, in the event that Common Stock
or
any equity instruments are issued at a price lower than 3.5p at anytime. The
convertible notes that were issued in connection with these loans were issued
in
reliance on the exemption from registration under Regulation S promulgated
under
the Securities Act of 1993, as amended.
In
April
2008, the listing of the Company’s common stock on the AIM Exchange in the U.K.
was cancelled.
In
May
2008, the Company entered into a compromise agreement with its former chairman
whereby the Company paid £30,000 (approximately $60,000) plus cost contribution
to its former chairman in full and final settlement of the latter’s claim
against the Company.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Introduction
Elcom
International, Inc. (“Elcom”), a corporation formed in Delaware in December
1992, is a leading provider of Internet-based remotely hosted, integrated
eProcurement and eMarketplace solutions and services. Our PECOS™ (“Professional
Electronic Commerce Online System”) eCommerce solution is typically remotely
hosted by Elcom, providing rapid deployment and single point responsibility
for
clients. In total, over 100 organizations are currently using or accessing
Elcom’s solution under these arrangements. Since January 16, 2003, our Common
Stock has been quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) under
the symbol ELCO. On May 18, 2007, our stock was suspended from the OTCBB due
to
a delay in our filing the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2006
with the SEC and since then our stock has been listed in the Pink Sheets under
the symbol ELCO. In addition, since April 16, 2004, our common stock was traded
on the AIM Exchange (as defined below) under the symbols ELC and ELCS
(designating the Regulation S Shares); however, the stock was cancelled from
admission on April 1, 2008. We operate in the U.S. and U.K.
Overview
Prior
to
the divestiture of its information technology (“IT”) products and services
business in the U.K. and U.S., Elcom had previously marketed over 130,000 IT
products to commercial, educational and governmental accounts via several
electronic methodologies. During 2001, Elcom carefully reviewed its business
operations, and in order to reduce operational and financial risks and properly
align Elcom’s operations with the slowing demand for IT products and the overall
economic environment, Elcom decided to divest its IT products and services
business to reduce costs and allow Elcom to focus exclusively on its core
Internet-based, eCommerce software technology. On December 31, 2001, Elcom
divested itself of its U.K. IT products business and on March 29, 2002, Elcom
divested itself of its U.S. IT products and services business. Commencing during
the second quarter of 2002, Elcom’s sole source of revenue has been the
implementation of eCommerce solutions and associated professional services
and
monthly hosting services, usage and data maintenance fees.
In
the
U.K., Elcom has a substantial contract with Capgemini UK Plc (“Capgemini”)
associated with the Scottish Executive’s eProcurement Scotland Programme, where
Elcom provides an eCommerce system to agencies, councils, and National Health
Service of Scotland (hospitals) Trusts (“Public Entities”) in Scotland. Elcom
signed agreements with one (1) Public Entity in 2006, and a further nine (9)
in
2007, bringing the total number of Public Entities in the eProcurement Scotland
Programme to 35. There are approximately 47 Public Entities potentially
available to join the eProcurement Scotland Programme, and possibly more,
depending upon the Scottish Executive’s definition of eligibility. Elcom earns
implementation fees and monthly hosting services fees for each Public Entity
that joins the eProcurement Scotland Programme. Capgemini is the prime
contractor in the Scottish Executive Agreement. Elcom subcontracts under this
agreement as the technology service provider. During 2007 and the first quarter
of 2008, this contract accounted for over 75% and 68%, respectively, of Elcom’s
revenues and Elcom continues to remain dependent on it although plans are in
place to reduce reliance on this particular contract.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements requires Elcom to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, Elcom evaluates its estimates, including
those related to income taxes, impairment of long-lived assets, and revenue
recognition. Elcom bases its estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financings
Elcom
does not have any off-balance sheet financings. Elcom has no majority-owned
subsidiaries that are not included in its consolidated financial
statements.
Results
of Operations
Quarter
ended March 31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended March 31,
2007.
Net
Revenues.
Net
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased from $826,000 in the
same period in 2007 to $1,224,000, an increase of $398,000, or 48%. License,
hosting services and other fees increased from $633,000 in the 2007 quarter
to
$929,000 in the 2008 quarter, an increase of $296,000 or 47%. This increase
is
primarily due to an additional nine customers joining the eProcurement Scotland
Program during 2007. Professional services fees increased by $102,000, to
$295,000 in 2008 from $193,000 in 2007, as a result of a specific piece of
development work.
Gross
Profit
.
Gross
profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased to $964,000 from $560,000
in the comparable 2007 quarterly period, an increase of $404,000 or 72%.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 2008 were $1,844,000, compared to $2,031,000 in the 2007 quarter,
a
decrease of $187,000, or 9%. The primary reason for the decrease in SG&A in
the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 are a
reduction in personnel costs of $293,000, of which $129,000 related to a
reduction in stock option expenses and general cost control which resulted
in
lower insurance and travel costs of $57,000, however these reductions were
offset by increases in exceptional audit fees of $92,717, which related to
fees
incurred in completing the 3 quarterly reports and annual report for 2007,
an
increase of $55,000 in relation to legal fees and an increase in cost of
providing back up services of $20,000.
Research
and Development Expense.
Research
and development expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were
$47,000 and $215,000, respectively, reflecting a reduction in 2008 of $168,000
from the expense recorded in the first quarter of 2007. The reduction in expense
in 2008 compared to 2007 was due to a decrease in the level of costs associated
with new development in relation to its PECOS application.
Operating
Loss.
Elcom
reported an operating loss of $927,000, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
compared to a loss of $1,686,000 reported in the comparable quarter of 2007,
a
reduction of $759,000 in the loss reported. The reduction in operating loss
in
the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 was a direct
result of the increase in revenue and continued cost control.
Interest
and Other Income, Net.
Interest
income and other income, net for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was income
of
$12,000 compared to $64,000 in the comparable 2007 quarter. The decrease is
mainly a result that the 2007 figures included non-recurring other income of
$53,000 arising from the reversal of an accrued interest expense amount.
Interest
Expense
.
Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $33,000 compared
to
$8,000 in the same period of 2007. The increase in expense is a result of
interest being accrued on the 2007 and 2008 loan notes.
Net
Loss
.
Elcom’s
net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $948,000, a decrease in the
loss of $682,000 from the comparable quarterly loss recorded in 2007 of
$1,630,000, as a result of the factors discussed above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Net
cash
used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008
was
$57,000, resulting primarily from the net loss of $948,000, together with a
reduction in accounts receivable of $1,042,000, which was partially offset
by an
increase in deferred revenue of $209,000.
Net
cash
used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008
was
$11,000 due to the purchase of property, equipment and software.
Net
cash
provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31,
2008
was $446,000, of which $498,000 related to the proceeds from a convertible
loan
note issued to a non-US investor (see Item 2).
Elcom’s
principal commitment consists of a lease on its headquarters office facility.
Elcom will also require ongoing investments in research and development and
property, equipment and software in order to further increase operating
revenues, and meet the requirements of its customers.
Risk
Factors Relating to Liquidity
Elcom’s
consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 have been prepared under
the assumption that Elcom will continue as a going concern. Elcom’s independent
registered public accounting firm, Malone & Bailey PC, has issued a report
dated August 20, 2008, (except for Note 10 which is as of September 3, 2008)
that included an explanatory paragraph referring to Elcom’s significant
operating losses and substantial doubt in its ability to continue as a going
concern (See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation – Going Concern, to the March 31,
2008 Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information), without
generating incremental operating revenues or, if required, additional capital
becoming available.
We
cannot
assure you that additional financing will not be needed, or if needed be
available on favorable terms, or at all. If funds are not available when
required for working capital needs or other transactions, our ability to carry
out our business plan could be adversely affected, and we may be required to
scale back our operations to reflect the extent of available funding. If we
are
able to arrange for additional credit facilities from lenders, the debt
instruments are likely to include limitations on our ability to incur other
indebtedness, to pay dividends, to create liens, to sell our capital stock,
or
enter into other transactions. Such restrictions may adversely affect our
ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or to grow our
business. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt
securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced. These
securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the
common stockholders.
If
we are
unable to consummate any equity financing or receive additional loaned monies
to
provide sufficient working capital, we would likely be forced to curtail
operations and/or seek protection under bankruptcy laws. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Factors
Affecting Future Performance
A
significant portion of Elcom’s revenues are from hosting services and associated
fees received from Capgemini under a back-to-back contract between Elcom and
Capgemini which essentially mirrors the primary agreement between Capgemini
and
the Scottish Executive, executed in November 2001. Future revenue under this
arrangement is contingent on the following significant factors: the rate of
adoption of Elcom’s ecommerce software system by Public Entities associated with
the Scottish Executive; renewal by existing Public Entity clients associated
with the Scottish Executive of their rights to use the ecommerce software
system; the procurement of additional services from Elcom by Public Entities
associated with the Scottish Executive; Capgemini’s relationship with the
Scottish Executive; their compliance with the terms and conditions of their
agreement with the Scottish Executive; and the ability of Elcom to perform
under
its agreement with Capgemini.
If
further business fails to develop under the Capgemini agreement or if the U.S.
eMarketplaces do not expand as expected, or if Elcom is unable to perform under
any of these agreements, it would have a material adverse affect on Elcom’s
future financial results.
Outlook
Elcom
expects that its operating loss will continue through 2008, however progress
has
been made in a number of areas and the level of losses will be significantly
lower than 2007. Improvements in revenues and operating results from operations
in future periods will not occur without Elcom being able to generate
incremental operating revenues from existing and new clients.
STATEMENT
UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
Except
for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could include forward-looking statements or
information. All statements, other than statements of historical fact,
including, without limitation, those with respect to Elcom's objectives, plans
and strategies set forth herein and those preceded by or that include the words
"believes," "expects," "targets," "intends," "anticipates," "plans," or similar
expressions, are forward-looking statements. Although Elcom believes that such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that Elcom's
expectations are, or will be, correct. These forward-looking statements involve
a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause Elcom's future results
to
differ materially from those anticipated, including: (i) the necessity for
Elcom
to generate incremental operating revenues and whether this objective can be
met
given the overall marketplace and client's acceptance and usage of eCommerce
software systems, eProcurement and eMarketplace solutions, including corporate
demand therefore; the impact of competitive technologies, products and pricing,
particularly given the substantially larger size and scale of certain
competitors and potential competitors; control of operating expenses; and
revenue growth; (ii) the consequent results of operations given the
aforementioned factors; and (iii) the necessity of Elcom to achieve profitable
operations within the constraints of its existing resources, and if it can
not,
the availability of incremental capital funding to Elcom, particularly in light
of the audit opinion from Elcom's independent registered public accounting
firm
in Elcom’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, and other risks detailed from time
to time in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Elcom’s other SEC reports
and statements.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures.
|
Elcom's
Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of Finance, after
evaluating the effectiveness of Elcom's disclosure controls and procedures
(as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934) as of March 31, 2008 (the "Evaluation Date"), have concluded that as
of the Evaluation Date, Elcom's disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Elcom in
the
reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's
rules and forms, because of the untimely filing of the interim reports.
(b)
|
Changes
in Internal Controls
|
There
was
no change in Elcom’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred
during the first quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, Elcom’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART

Unregistered
Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During
October and November 2007, and March, May and June 2008, Elcom received proceeds
from convertible loans from a non-US investor of £1,250,000 (approximately
$2,500,000). The loans are repayable upon demand and convertible at the option
of the Payee into shares of common stock, at the price of 3.5p per share,
subject to adjustment, downwards only, in the event that Common Stock or any
equity instruments are issued at a price lower than 3.5p at anytime. The loans
are expected to be converted into shares prior to their maturity in 2012. The
convertible notes that were issued in connection with these loans were issued
in
reliance on the exemption from registration under Regulation S promulgated
under
the Securities Act of 1993, as amended.
