SYSVIEW TECHNOLOGIES, INC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BACKGROUND
Sysview Technology, Inc., (referred to herein as "Sysview" or the "Company")
develops, designs and delivers various imaging technology solutions to the
corporate/enterprise, small office-home office (SOHO), professional practice and
consumer markets. Sysview is headquartered in San Jose, California, and is
principally engaged in the design, development and marketing of Contact Image
Sensor ("CIS") modules for use in scanners and fax machines. Sysview's
manufacturing is completed at an affiliated China-based facility, which provides
a low-cost manufacturing base for these industrial and consumer products. See
Note 3. Sysview's products are ideally suited for the mobile computer user who
needs to scan and/or fax documents while away from the office.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Sysview have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of
our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The results of
operations for the period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results that may be expected for the entire year ending December
31, 2006. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements in the Company's Amended Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A
for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 16, 2006.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sysview and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
Certain accounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation.
NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 123-R, SHARE-BASED PAYMENT
("SFAS 123(R)"). SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION, and supersedes APB Opinion 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO
EMPLOYEES. SFAS 123(R) requires, among other things, that all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of stock options, be measured based on
their grant-date fair value and recognized as expense. Effective January 1,
2006, Sysview adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) using
the modified prospective application method. Under this transition method,
compensation expense recognized for the quarter March 31, 2006, includes the
applicable amounts of: (a) compensation expense of all stock-based payments
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 (based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of
SFAS 123 and previously presented in pro forma footnote disclosures), and (b)
compensation expense for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to January
1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new
provisions of SFAS 123(R)). Results for periods prior to January 1, 2006, have
not been restated. See Note 6.

SYSVIEW TECHNOLOGIES, INC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (UNAUDITED)
On June 7, 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR
CORRECTIONS, A REPLACEMENT OF APB OPINION 20 AND FASB STATEMENT 3, ("SFAS 154").
SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a
change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting
principles were required recognition via a cumulative effect adjustment within
net income of the period of the change. SFAS 154 requires retrospective
application to prior periods' financial statements, unless it is impracticable
to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the
change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. Sysview adopted SFAS 154 on January 1, 2006.
The adoption had an impact to the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN HYBRID
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENTS 133 AND 140, ("SFAS
155"). SFAS will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. The
statement permits interests in hybrid financial instruments that contain an
embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, to be accounted
for as a single financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value
recognized in earnings. This election is permitted on an
instrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held,
obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing
the impact of the statement.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")), the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants ("AICPA"), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to
have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company purchases the majority of its finished scanner imaging products from
the parent company of its majority stockholder, Syscan Technology Holdings
Limited ("STH"). See Note 5. The Company's Chairman and CEO, Darwin Hu, was
formerly the CEO of STH, and beneficially owns approximately 5.33% of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of STH.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, related party purchases
from entities that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of STH were $1,409,000 and
$1,266,000, respectively. The purchases were carried out in the normal course of
business.
The following table is a summary of unsecured, interest-free and payable upon
demand, amounts due from affiliated entities as of March 31, 2006 (IN
THOUSANDS):
STH wholly-owed subsidiaries $1,508
STH 346
Sysview's majority stockholder 100
------------
$1,954
============
NOTE 4 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk are cash balances
maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits and trade
receivables.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up
to $100,000. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had consolidated balances of
approximately $646,000, which were not guaranteed by FDIC. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the exposure is minimal.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (UNAUDITED)
MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND TRADE RECEIVABLES
A relatively small number of customers account for a significant percentage of
the Company's sales. The percentage of sales derived from significant customers
is as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31,
---------------------------
2006 2005
------------ -----------
Customer A 37% 51%
Customer B 36 25
Customer C 9 14
Trade receivables from these customers totaled $1,592,000 at March 31, 2006. As
of March 31, 2006 all the Company's trade receivables were unsecured.
NOTE 5 - CONCENTRATION OF SUPPLIER RISK
The Company purchases substantially all its finished scanner imaging products
from one vendor that is also a subsidiary of the Company's majority stockholder.
See Note 3. If this vendor became unable to provide materials in a timely manner
and the Company was unable to find alternative vendors, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely
affected.
NOTE 6 - EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Sysview has several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more
fully described in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Prior to January 1,
2006, Sysview accounted for awards granted under those plans following the
recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO
EMPLOYEES, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense, equal
to the difference between the total exercise price and the total fair market
value, for awards granted at an exercise price less than fair market value of
the underlying common stock on the grant date, is amortized over the vesting
period. There were no awards and no stock-based compensation during the three
months ended March 31, 2005. Effective January 1, 2006, Sysview adopted the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R). See Note 2. The amount of
stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March
31, 2006 was $295,000.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has 2,210,000 options granted under the 2002 Stock Option Plan that
are subject to stockholder approval at the next annual or special meeting of
stockholders, which has not been obtained as of the date of this quarterly
filing and are not included in the following table, which summarizes stock
option activity and related information through March 31, 2006:

NOTE 7 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss)
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents were not
considered in calculating diluted net loss per common share for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Common stock
equivalents were considered in calculating diluted net earnings per common share
for the three months ended March 31, 2005, but had no impact on net earnings per
share. As a result, for all periods presented, the Company's basic and diluted
net earnings (loss) per share is the same.
NOTE 8 - EQUITY
COMMON STOCK ACTIVITY
There was no common stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2006.
PREFERRED STOCK ACTIVITY
There was no preferred stock activity during the three months ended March 31,
2006.
PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
The Company's 5% Convertible Preferred Stock accrues cumulative dividends at a
rate of five percent per annum, payable semiannually on July 1 and January 1.
Dividends are payable in cash, by accretion of the stated value or in shares of
common stock. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the decision whether to
accrete dividends to the stated value of the Preferred Stock or to pay for
dividends in cash or in shares of common stock, is at the Company's discretion.
To date, the Company has not paid any dividends. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, preferred stock dividends were approximately $20,000 and
recorded as a non-operating expense on the Company's statement of operations.

PREFERRED STOCK ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
Pursuant to SFAS 133, "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES" ("SFAS 133") and EITF Abstract No. 00-19, "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS" ("EITF 00-19"), the Company's 5% Convertible Preferred
Stock and related warrants, are deemed derivative instruments as a result of the
embedded conversion feature. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative
instruments has been recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as a
liability with the corresponding amount as a discount to the 5% Convertible
Preferred Stock. The discount is being accreted from the issuance date, March
15, 2005, through the redemption date, March 15, 2008, adjusted for conversions.
Accretion of the preferred stock redemption value for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 was approximately $128,000 and is disclosed as a non-operating
expense on the Company's consolidated statement of operations. The decrease in
the fair value of the liability for derivative contracts totaled approximately
$208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and is included with other
income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company computes fair value of these derivatives using the Black-Scholes
valuation model. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. The
Company's derivative instruments have characteristics significantly different
from traded options, and the input assumptions used in the model can materially
affect the fair value estimate. The assumptions used in this model to estimate
fair value of each derivative instrument and the resulting value of the
derivative liability as of March 31, 2006 are as follows:

BANK LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has a line of credit to borrow up to $2,500,000, bearing interest at
the rate of prime (7.75% at March 31, 2006) plus 0.5% and secured by all of the
assets of the Company. Interest payments are due monthly and all unpaid interest
and principal is due in full on October 30, 2006. Upon certain events of
defaults as more fully described in the agreement, the default variable interest
rate increases to prime plus 5.5%. The Company had $1,487,000 available for use
at March 31, 2006.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company maintains employment agreements with its executive officers which
extend through 2008. The agreements provide for a base salary, annual bonus to
be determined by the Board of Directors, termination payments, stock options,
non-competition provisions, and other terms and conditions of employment. In
addition, the Company maintains employment agreements with other key employees
with similar terms and conditions. As of March 31, 2006 termination payments
totaling $352,000 remain in effect.
LITIGATION, CLAIMS AND ASSESSMENTS
On May 20, 2003, Syscan, Inc., the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, filed a
lawsuit named SYSCAN, INC. V. PORTABLE PERIPHERAL CO., LTD. ("PPL"), IMAGING
RECOGNITION INTEGRATED SYSTEMS, INC., CARDREADER INC. AND TARGUS INC. (Case No.
C03-02367 VRW) in United States District Court, Northern District of California.
Syscan, Inc. alleges claims against the above-mentioned parties for patent
infringement of patent nos. 6,054,707, 6,275,309 and 6,459,506, and unfair
competition. Syscan, Inc. expects to continue the case unless a reasonable
settlement amount from the defendants or a licensing agreement to the
satisfaction of Syscan, Inc. is entered.
Syscan, Inc. is seeking: (1) a temporary restraining order, preliminary
injunction and permanent injunction against defendants, restraining defendants
from patent infringement and unfair competition; (2) treble damages due to
defendants' willful infringement; (3) punitive damages; (4) accounting of unjust
enrichment by defendants, resulting from defendants' unfair competition; and (5)
attorney's fees and costs.
The defendants are jointly represented by PPL's counsel. PPL has initiated
counterclaims against Syscan, Inc. for patent invalidity. Syscan, Inc. has not
yet been able to quantify its damage claim against PPL. Syscan, Inc. intends to
vigorously pursue this claim and denies PPL's counterclaim of patent invalidity.
There was a hearing in the Northern District of California on October 14, 2005,
in which arguments were presented to the court on the patent validity. The court
rendered a claim construction order on March 27, 2006 and the Company has filed
a motion for reconsideration for certain claim terms construction that are
believed to be erroneous. The motion has been set for hearing and oral argument
on June 29, 2006. The Company expects to continue this case unless a reasonable
settlement amount from defendants or a licensing agreement to the satisfaction
of the Company is entered.

The Company experiences routine litigation in the normal course of its business
and does not believe that any pending litigation will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
In connection with the issuance of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company
executed a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") with the purchasers
thereof under which the Company agreed to register the common shares underlying
the 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants. The Agreement provides
for liquidated damages in the event the registration statement is not maintained
continuously effective for a period of two years following the March 15, 2005
closing date. The liquidated damages total an amount equal to one percent
(pro-rated for partial months) of the purchase price of the 5% Convertible
Preferred Stock for each thirty day period effectiveness of a registration

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Sysview Technology,
Inc.'s ("Sysview" or "Company") unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes included herein. The results described below are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future period.
Certain statements in this discussion and analysis, including statements
regarding our strategy, financial performance and revenue sources, are
forward-looking statements based on current expectations and entail various
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are referred to
Sysview's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2006.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations ("MD&A") is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an
understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and
results of operations. The MD&A section is organized as follows:
o OVERVIEW. This section provides a general description of the Company's
business, as well as recent developments that we believe are important in
understanding the results of operations and to anticipate future trends in
those operations.
o CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES. This section provides an analysis of the
significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities.
o RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. This section provides an analysis of our results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2005. A brief description of certain aspects,
transactions and events is provided, including related party transactions
that impact the comparability of the results being analyzed.
o LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. This section provides an analysis of our
financial condition and cash flows as of and for the three months ended
March 31, 2006.
OVERVIEW
Our MD&A contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are
based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially because of factors
discussed in this report, as well as factors not within our control. We
undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the
statement to actual results or changes in our expectations.
We are in the business of developing, designing and delivering imaging
technology solutions. We currently have 14 patents issued in the United States
and five patents issued in Taiwan. Additionally, we have five patents currently
pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, three relate to
image display technology and two relate to image scanning. We focus our research
and development toward new deliverable and marketable Technology. We sell our
products to clients throughout the world, including the United States, Canada,
Europe, South America, Australia and Asia. We intend to leverage our experience,
expertise and current technology in the image capture market by expanding our
business to the image display market, which is deemed to be a much larger
market.
Our strategy is to expand our image capture product line and technology while
leveraging our assets in other areas of the imaging industry. We are actively
shipping six categories of image capture products and intend to expand our
product offerings to include seven new products during fiscal 2006. During the
first three months of fiscal 2006, we introduced two new products under our
value added reseller's ("VAR") brand names. Our expanded product line is in
response to the increased market demand for faster and easier-to-use products as
well as increased security to meet the growing need for information protection,
including identity and financial transaction protection. In addition to
expanding our image capture product line, we actively pursue the acquisition of
technology and or companies in the image capture and display industry to
complement our business model, improve our competitive positioning and further
expand our product offerings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our MD&A is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including
those related to revenue recognition, trade receivables and allowance for
doubtful accounts, inventories, intangible and long-lived assets, and income
taxes. We base our 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.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting
estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain
at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably
could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably
likely to occur could materially change the financial statements. We believe the
following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates
and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements:
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues consist of sales of merchandise, including optical
image capturing devices, modules of optical image capturing devices, and chips
and other optoelectronic products. Revenue is recognized when the product is
shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer.
We recognize shipping and handling fees as revenue, and the related expenses as
a component of cost of sales. All internal handling charges are charged to
selling and marketing expense. Historically, sales returns have not been
significant. As such, we do not record a reduction to revenue for estimated
product returns in the same period that the related revenue is recorded.
INVENTORY AND WARRANTY RESERVES. We establish inventory reserves for estimated
obsolescence or unmarketable inventory in an amount equal to the difference
between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based upon
assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand and
market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management,
additional inventory reserves could be required. As of March 31, 2006 we had no
inventory reserve.
Currently, all our products are manufactured by a subsidiary of Syscan
Technology Holdings (STH), the parent company of our majority stockholder. STH
warrants the products it manufactures for us against defects in material and
workmanship for a period of 18 months after the completion of manufacture. After
such 18 month period, STH provides product repair services for us at its
customary hourly repair rate plus the cost of any parts, components or items
necessary to repair the products. As a result of the product warranty provided
by STH, Sysview does not record a product warranty reserve.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. We have significant related-party transactions and
agreements, including, but not limited to purchasing all our products from STH
as discussed above. We believe such transactions have been accounted for at fair
value. We utilized our best estimate of the value of these transactions and
agreements. Had alternative assumptions been used, the values obtained may have
been different. During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, related
party purchases from entities that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of STH were
$1,409,000 and $1,266,000, respectively. The purchases were carried out in the
normal course of business.
The following table is a summary of unsecured, interest-free and payable upon
demand, amounts due from affiliated entities as of March 31, 2006 (IN
THOUSANDS):
STH wholly-owed subsidiaries $1,508
STH 346
Sysview's majority stockholder 100
------------
$1,954
============

INTANGIBLE AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS. We evaluate our intangible assets and
long-lived assets, which represent goodwill, long-term investments, and fixed
assets, for impairment annually or more frequently if we believe indicators of
impairment exist. Significant management judgment is required during the
evaluation, including in the forecasts of future operating results. The
estimates we have used are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use
to manage our business. It is possible, however, that the plans and estimates
used may be incorrect. If our actual results, or the plans and estimates used in
future impairment analyses, are lower than the original estimates used to assess
the recoverability of these assets, we could incur additional impairment
charges. We had no such asset impairments during the three months ended March
31, 2006.
INCOME TAXES. We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated as the difference
between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax
laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred
tax assets to the amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and
negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial
performance. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and
factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are
subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in
legislation, evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual
income taxes may be materially different from our estimates. As a result of our
analysis, we concluded that a full valuation allowance against our net deferred
tax assets is appropriate at March 31, 2006.
CONTINGENCIES. From time to time, we are involved in disputes, litigation and
other legal proceedings. We record a charge equal to at least the minimum
estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions
are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements
indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had
been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss
can be reasonably estimated. However, the actual liability in any such
litigation may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in
the need to record additional costs. Currently, there are no outstanding legal
proceedings or claims, which require a loss contingency.
ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH
LIABILITIES AND EQUITY. We account for our 5% Convertible Preferred Stock
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") "ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES" ("SFAS 133") and the Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") Abstract No. 00-19, "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS" ("EITF 00-19"). Accordingly, the embedded conversion
feature associated with the 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants
issued to the 5% Convertible Preferred Stock purchasers have been determined to
be derivative instruments. The fair value of these derivative instruments, as
determined by applying the Black-Scholes valuation model, is adjusted quarterly.
The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective
assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Additionally,
although the Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS 133, the fair
values generated by the model may not be indicative of the actual fair values of
our 5% Convertible Preferred Stock as our derivative instruments have
characteristics significantly different from traded options.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table summarizes certain aspects of our results of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended March
31, 2005 (IN THOUSANDS):

NM = Not Meaningful
NET SALES
The significant increase in net sales was attributable to our increased product
offerings. We introduced our duplex scanners (DocketPORT) in the third quarter
of fiscal 2005, which created a broader base of products. Approximately $446,000
of our increased revenue was attributable to sales of our duplex scanners. To a
lesser extent, our net sales were positively impacted by our gradual trending
towards the VAR and small office home office ("SOHO") markets, which is a result
of our efforts to appeal to customers in these sales channels.
Sales to our four largest customers represented 82% and 90% in the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We expect that our largest
customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our net sales in
the remainder of fiscal 2006 and for the foreseeable future. The identities of
our largest customer and their respective contributions to our net sales have
varied and will likely continue to vary from period to period.
We expect net sales to increase as we continue to offer additional products in
the image display market and expand to the image display market.
COST OF SALES, INCLUDING GROSS PROFIT
Cost of goods sold ("COGS") includes all direct costs related to the transfer of
scanners, imaging modules and services related to the delivery of those items
manufactured in China, and to a lesser extent engineering services and software
royalties. COGS increased in absolute dollars as a result of the increased net
sales during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2005. COGS as a percentage of net sales remained fairly
constant as a result of the stability of our average selling price and related
material cost used to manufacture our products. We expect this trend to continue
for the foreseeable future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, we purchased $1,409,000
and $1,266,000, respectively, which represents a significant portion of our cost
of sales, from one vendor that is also a subsidiary of our majority stockholder.
If this vendor became unable to provide materials in a timely manner and we were
unable to find alternative vendors, our business, operating results and
financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
-15-
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSE
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock-based
compensation and other related costs of employees engaged in the sales,
marketing and customer account management functions and to a lesser extent
market development and promotional funds for our retail distributions channels,
tradeshows, website support, warehousing, logistics and certain sales
representative fees. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2006
as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 is primarily attributable
to the increased staff and related marketing activities to support our expanding
products offerings and the addition of direct sales personnel in Europe and
Asia. Additionally, we booked $12,000 of stock-based compensation cost (a
non-cash charge), during the three months ended March 31, 2006, as a result of
granting stock options to certain executives and key employees at less than fair
market value on the grant date. We had no stock-based compensation cost during
the three months ended March 31, 2005. We expect selling and marketing expenses
to increase as we continue to expand our marketing efforts and the number of
products we offer.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
General and administrative expense consists primarily of costs associated with
our executive, financial, human resources and information services functions,
facilities-related expenses and outside professional services such as legal and
accounting. The increase was a result of increased personnel costs to support
our expanding business and related infrastructure and the increased expenses
associated with maintaining our public company status. Additionally, we booked
$271,000 of stock-based compensation cost (a non-cash charge), during the three
months ended March 31, 2006, as a result of granting stock options to certain
executives and key employees at less than fair market value on the grant date.
We had no stock-based compensation cost during the three months ended March 31,
2005. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase somewhat as our
business continues to grow and the costs associated with being a public company
continue to increase as a result of our required reporting requirements,
including but not limited to expenses incurred to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and related
costs of employees engaged in product research, design and development
activities, compliance testing, documentation, prototypes and expenses
associated with transitioning the product to production. Research and
development expense increased during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as
compared to March 31, 2005 as we continue to focus on key product development
areas. Additionally, we booked $12,000 of stock-based compensation cost (a
non-cash charge), during the three months ended March 31, 2006, as a result of
granting stock options to certain executives and key employees at less than fair
market value on the grant date. We had no stock-based compensation cost during
the three months ended March 31, 2005. We expect research and development
expenses to increase as we continue to invest in the future and strengthen our
intellectual property position within our highly competitive market.
TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was mainly
attributable to the $208,000 decrease in the fair value of our derivative
instruments associated with our 5% Convertible Series A Preferred Stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005 our other income (expense) was a
result of issuing our 5% Convertible Preferred Stock as follows:
o The $1,086,000 decrease in the fair value of the liability for
derivative contracts (associated with our 5% Convertible Series A
Preferred Stock) from the date of issuance, March 15, 2005 through
March 31, 2005. Pursuant to SFAS 133, "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES" ("SFAS 133") and EITF Abstract No.
00-19, "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS" ("EITF
00-19"), the decrease in the fair value of the liability for
derivative contracts is included as other income in our consolidated
statements of operations.
o Cash paid for issuance costs of $237,000 in connection with our
offering; and
o A non-cash charge of $290,000 representing the fair value of 186,500
warrants issued to the placement agent for the sale of the preferred
stock.
DIVIDEND ON 5% CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND ACCRETION OF PREFERRED STOCK
REDEMPTION VALUE
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 dividends and accretion on our 5%
Convertible Series A Preferred Stock were approximately $20,000 and $128,000,
respectively. As our 5% Convertible Series A Preferred Stock was issued at the
end of the March 2005, we did not accrue any dividends and our accretion was
only $27,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2006, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash
equivalents of $1,040,000 and unused borrowing capacity of $1,487,000 under our
bank line of credit. We had no significant cash outlays during the three months
ended March 31, 2006.
Operating activities: Cash used by operating activities during the three months
ended March 31, 2006 was primarily to fund our net loss, as adjusted for
non-cash items such as stock-based compensation associated with issuing options
and changes in our derivative instruments and convertible preferred stock.
Additional uses of cash included an increase in our trade receivables offset by
an increase in our trade payables. The increased receivables are a result of the
dramatic increase in sales. As we have had to ramp up inventory purchases to
meet the increased demand for our products, our cash was somewhat constrained
during the three months ended March 31, 2006. During the three months ended
March 31, 2005, cash used by operations resulted from funding our net loss and
increased trade receivables and inventories. We expect future cash provided
(used) by operating activities to fluctuate, primarily as a result of
fluctuations in our operating results, timing of product shipments, trade
receivables collections, inventory management and timing of vendor payments.
Investing activities: For both the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
cash used in investing activities was attributable to the purchase of capital
equipment.
Financing activities: For the three months ended March 31, 2006, cash provided
by financing activities was a result of payments from related party receivables.
For the three months ended March 31, 2005, cash provided by financing activities
was a result of issuing our 5% Convertible Preferred Stock, which resulted in a
cash inflow of $1,618,000, net of issuance costs. All advances to and repayments
from related parties during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were
made in the ordinary course of business
CASH AND WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
As previously discussed, we plan to continue increasing our presence in the
image capture market and expand our operations into the image display area,
which may require additional capital. Additionally, we may seek to expand our
operations through acquisitions of companies in the image capture and display
industry that we believe could complement our business model, improve our
competitive positioning and expand our product offerings.
Considering current cash reserves and other sources of liquidity, including our
bank line of credit and borrowing from related parties, management believes that
the Company will have sufficient sources of financing to continue its normal
operations through at least the next twelve months. However, our business
expansion plans may require additional capital through either the incurrence of
debt or the issuance of equity securities, depending on the prevailing market
and other conditions. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be
available for us to finance our expansion plans. Furthermore, there is no
assurance the net proceeds from any successful financing arrangement will be
sufficient to cover cash requirements as we expand our business operations.

Interest payments are due monthly and all unpaid interest and principal is due
in full on October 30, 2006.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
At March 31, 2006, we did not have any relationship with unconsolidated entities
or financial partnerships, which other companies have established for the
purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually
narrow or limited purposes as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation
S-K. Therefore, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity,
market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
TRENDS
As of March 31, 2006, to the best of our knowledge, no known trends or demands,
commitments, events or uncertainties, except as described in "NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES" existed, which are likely to
have a material effect on our liquidity.
