NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands)
(unaudited)
1. Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
The Company voluntarily petitioned for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code on March 12, 2003, (the "Petition Date") in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York, Central Islip
The Debtor continues to operate its business as "debtor-in-possession" under the
jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and
applicable court orders. In general, as debtors-in-possession, the Debtor is
authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but
may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without
the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
In order to successfully exit Chapter 11, the Company will need to propose, and
obtain confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court of, a plan of reorganization that
satisfies the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.
Financial Statement Presentation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and
accompanying notes included herein, have been prepared by the Company pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
and reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in
the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair statement of the results
of the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Certain information and
footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
regulations. The results for the current interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto in the Company's latest annual report filed
with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The accompanying
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries on
a consolidated basis. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of
Position 90-7 ("SOP 90-7"), "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization
Under the Bankruptcy Code," and on a going-concern basis, which contemplates
continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities
in the ordinary course of business.
SOP 90-7 requires that the financial statements for periods subsequent to
the Chapter 11 filing petition distinguish transactions and events that are
directly associated with the reorganization from the operations of the business.
Accordingly, revenues, expenses (including professional fees), realized gains
and losses, and provisions for losses directly associated with the
reorganization and restructuring of the business are reported separately in the
financial statements. The Consolidated Balance Sheet distinguishes pre-petition
liabilities and other items subject to compromise from both those pre-petition
liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition
liabilities. Liabilities and other items subject to compromise are reported at
the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser
amounts.
In addition, as a result of the Chapter 11 filing, the realization of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities, without substantial adjustments or
changes in ownership, are subject to uncertainty. Given this uncertainty, there
is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
While operating as debtors-in-possession under the protection of Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code and subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise
as permitted in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors, or some of them,
may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for
some amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial
6 of 23
statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the
amounts and classifications in the historical consolidated financial statements.
The primary issues management will focus on immediately following
confirmation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization include:
o Working with its secured lender on a restructuring of the terms of
the DIP debt which it holds, thereby reducing the Company's cost of
borrowing.
o Initiating negotiations with suppliers to secure trade financing of
working capital of approximately $1-2 million under terms and
conditions to be agreed upon. There can be no assurance that such
financing will materialize.
o The continual negotiation of material contracts for the sale of its
manufacturing services to customers which management believes will
provide additional liquidity for operations. There can be no
assurances that these contracts will materialize.
o The ability of the Company to generate cash from operations and to
maintain adequate cash on hand; and
o The ability of the Company to achieve profitability.
The Company believes that positive operating cash flows and profitability
will not come from the general purpose text terminal marketplace. The Company
has been and will continue to focus on the current business from the current
customers in order to provide a reliable cash flow with which to execute growth
plans. The paths to growth that the Company has developed include:
1. Repositioning the Company's business from a text terminal company to
a Point-of-Service/Point-of-Sale ("POS") technology company, and build upon the
Company's historical success in POS to establish a strong link between the
Company's and POS' applications. A key activity in support of the POS initiative
includes leveraging the Company's existing technology platforms
2. Gaining access to a more modern and growing market through new
product offerings including Web terminals and terminals utilizing the Linux
operating system which provide high security, high levels of productivity and
high reliability.
3. Enter the Radio Frequency Identification ("RFID") market place with
a high value-to-cost offering. Position the company as a RFID provider to POS
integrators and OEMs. RFID Controllers - read/write RFID modules for both 13.56
mhz and 900 mhz- will be embedded into the Company's technology platforms.
4. Applying its robust Build-to-Order ("BTO") processes to growth
products and markets.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining
confirmation of their Plan of Reorganization. If it is not, liquidation of the
Company's assets would most likely ensue. If the Company does emerge from
Chapter 11, there is no assurance that the Company's operations will be
profitable and cash flow positive; in the alternative, the scope of operations
could be severely curtailed or discontinued entirely. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.
2. Certain Significant Accounting Policies
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 2004 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting
policies used in preparing these consolidated financial statements are the same
as those described in the December 31, 2004 consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with maturities at purchase of three months or
less are considered cash equivalents. We had $328 and $161 classified as "cash
on deposit with lender" at December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, respectively,
representing cash on-hand in a lockbox account under the control of the
Company's DIP lender.
Minority Interest
In the absence of a commitment by minority shareholders to fund losses in excess
of their equity, such losses have been attributed to the Company.
7 of 23
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the customer
or passage of title and assumption of risk. The Company monitors product returns
generally, which are for stock rotation with the coinciding replacement order,
and records provisions for estimated future returns and potential warranty
liability at the time revenue is recorded. Service revenue is recognized when
service is performed and billable. Revenue from maintenance and extended
warranty agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the
agreement.
Supplier Concentration
The Company purchases subassemblies and components for its products from more
than 40 domestic and Far East suppliers. During the first quarter of 2004
purchases from Ansen Corporation, Radiance Electronics, and Video Display
Corporation accounted for 40%, 25%, and 13%, respectively, of the Company's
total purchases of material.
The balance due Ansen was approximately $816 and $1,130 at March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively; and such balance is included in "Purchase order
commitments" on the balance sheets.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $0 for each
of the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," requires a reconciliation of the numerator
and denominator of the basic net income (loss) per share computation to the
numerator and denominator of the diluted net income (loss) per share
computation. There were no dilutive instruments for the period ending March 31,
2004 or 2003.
Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options and warrants issued to employees in
accordance with APB 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company
follows SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" for financial
statement disclosure purposes and issuances of options and warrants to
non-employees for services rendered.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs--An Amendment
of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" ("SFAS 151"). SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No.
43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material
(spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as
idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs
be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the
criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS 151
requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS
151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and is required
to be adopted by Boundless in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, beginning on
January 1, 2006.
8 of 23
Boundless is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 151 will
have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition but does
not expect SFAS 151 to have a material impact.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
financial statements based on their fair values. As amended by an SEC
pronouncement, SFAS 123R is effective with the first annual period after June
15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously
permitted under SFAS 123, no longer will be an alternative to financial
statement recognition.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets--An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions" ("SFAS 153"). SFAS 153 eliminates the exception from fair value
measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph
21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," and
replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial
substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change
significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for the fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by Boundless
in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, beginning on July 1, 2005. Boundless is
currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 153 will have on its
consolidated results of operations and financial condition but does not expect
it to have a material impact.
3. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with costs determined on a
first-in first-out basis. On a quarterly basis the Company reviews quantities on
hand and on order and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory
based on forecasted demand. Should this analysis indicate that the demand for
product has increased from previous estimates, a decrease in the reserves would
be effected through a credit to the statement of operations.

4. Liabilities and Other Items Subject to Compromise
Liabilities and other items subject to compromise refers to liabilities incurred
and the issuance of preferred stock prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11
Cases. These amounts represent the Company's estimate of known or potential
pre-petition claims to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. Such
claims remain subject to future adjustments. Adjustments may result from
negotiations, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, the determination as to the value
of any collateral securing claims, proofs of claim or other events. It is
anticipated that such adjustments may be material. Payment terms for these
amounts will be established in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.
9 of 23
As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings, certain accounts payable have been
re-characterized as liabilities subject to compromise in 2004. In addition, as a
result of other bankruptcy proceedings certain capital lease obligations
previously reported in long-term debt are now re-characterized as liabilities
subject to compromise.
At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had liabilities and other
items subject to compromise of approximately $13,894 and $13,207 which consisted
of the following:
March 31, December 31,
---------- ------------

Liabilities:
Accounts payable $ 10,220 $ 9,971

Other:
Manditorily redeemable preferred stock 1,652 1,652
---------- ------------
$ 13,894 $ 13,207
========== ============
The mandatorily redeemable preferred stock is convertible into shares of common
stock of the Company at a conversion price of $3 per share. The Plan of
Reorganization contemplates that all equity instruments of the Company will be
cancelled on the Effective Date. As a result, the conversion of the preferred
stock to shares of common stock is doubtful and therefore the mandatorily
preferred stock is included with other items subject to compromise.
5. Stockholders' Deficit

7. Major Customers
The Company markets its terminal products through OEMs and reseller distribution
channels. Customers can buy the Company's products from an international network
of value-added resellers (VARs) and regional distributors. Through its sales
force, the Company sells directly to large VARs and regional distributors and
also sells to major national and international distributors. For the quarter
ended March 31, 2004, the Company had one customer representing 34% of revenue
and two customers representing 8% and 9%, respectively of revenues.
8. Litigation and Contingencies
The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims that arose in the normal course of
business. Management is of the opinion that all such matters are without merit,
or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a significant
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company if disposed unfavorably. See Part II- Other Information, Item 1.-Legal
Matters
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The numbers and percentages contained in this Item 2 are approximate. Dollar
amounts are stated in thousands.
On March 12, 2003, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. Prior to the filing, the Company's inability to obtain material
for production adversely impacted customer demand and the Company's ability to
satisfy existing customer orders.
Revenue - Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $2,183 as compared to
$2,470 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Sales of the Company's General Display Terminals were $1,985 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2004 compared to $1,963 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
The first quarter of 2003 was adversely impacted by the Company's bankruptcy
filing. Stabilization of the Company's operations in the periods subsequent to
the filing allowed the Company to record revenues of General Display Terminals
during the first quarter of 2004 similar to recorded revenue in the first
quarter of 2003 despite the industry decline in demand for this product.
11 of 23
Net revenue from EMS activities, primarily logistics services sold to Unique
Co-operative Solutions, Inc. ("UCSI"), were $18. UCSI is wholly owned by Mr.
Oscar Smith, who also is the majority shareholder of Vision Technologies, Inc.,
the entity which will own 100% of the Company upon confirmation of the Company's
plan of reorganization. Mr. Smith also owns approximately 15% of the outstanding
common stock of the Company. EMS revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2003
was $300. The revenue decline is wholly attributable to the working capital
constraints faced by the Company beginning in the second quarter of 2002.
Net revenue from the Company's repairs and spare parts business for the quarter
ended March 31, 2004 was $179 as compared to $207 for the quarter ended March
31, 2003.
Hewlett-Packard contributed 34% of the Company's revenue in the quarter ended
March 31, 2004, and 26% of recorded revenues for the first quarter of 2003.
During 2003 Hewlett Packard informed the Company of its decision to discontinue
the sale of the Company's products. Sales to Hewlett Packard during the first
quarter of 2004 represented purchases for its immediate needs as well as product
purchases it anticipated needing for the transition of its customers to
alternative products.
Gross Margin - The Company recorded gross margin for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 of $644 (29.5% of revenue) compared to a gross margin loss of
$112 for the first quarter of 2003. The increase in gross margin is attributable
to the reduction in fixed overhead associated with the Company's manufacturing
facility in Hauppauge, New York, which the Company sold in December 2003. In
addition, General Display Terminals, which contribute higher gross margin as
compared to the Company's other sources of revenue, provided approximately 91%
of revenue in the first quarter of 2004 compared to 79% of revenue in the first
quarter of 2003.
Total Operating Expenses - For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, operating
expenses, excluding interest expense and reorganization expenses associated with
the Company's bankruptcy filing, decreased 5% to $513 (23% of revenue), compared
to expenses for the first quarter of 2003 of $537 (22% of revenue). This
decrease is attributable primarily to layoffs and other expense control
activities which the Company had begun implementing to align sales, marketing
and administrative expenses with the revenue decline.
Loss on reimbursement of employee services- Beginning in the first quarter of
2004 the Company agreed to provide UCSI resources, primarily Company employees,
to allow UCSI to pursue programs critical to their continued development of the
thin client market. UCSI is wholly-owned by Mr. Oscar Smith. Mr. Smith is also
the majority owner of Vision Technologies, Inc., the entity which will own 100%
of the Company upon confirmation of the Company's plan of reorganization. A
monthly charge to UCSI was agreed to based upon the Company's estimate of the
percentage of time its employees would be devoted to UCSI projects. For the
first quarter of 2004 the Company charged UCSI $75 and incurred estimated
expenses of $90, resulting in a loss on reimbursement of employee services of
$15.
Loss on extinguishment of debt- In connection with the bankruptcy filing, during
the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company obtained debtor-in-possession
financing with Valtec Capital, LLC and wrote off $289 of capitalized debt
financing costs associated with the asset-based lending agreement with the
Company's prior lender.
During the first quarter of 2004 the Company recorded net reorganization
expenses of $113; which amount included approximately $123 related to expenses
associated with the Company's relocating its manufacturing operations to
Farmingdale, New York. In addition, the Company recognized $23 from the sale of
excess assets. Reorganization expenses, primarily for legal fees, were $336
during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Other income - Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $49
compared to $129 for the period ended March 31, 2003. Income recorded in 2004
includes $12 relating to return of premiums against the Company's workers'
compensation insurance due to a reduction in the Company's experience rating.
The Company reviews its account receivable balances monthly to assess its
estimate of the collectability of such accounts.
12 of 23
The Company utilizes ratios based on its historical experience, as well
as management's judgment, in its assessment. For the first quarter of 2004
the Company recorded a reduction in the reserve against its receivables in an
amount of approximately $24.
Interest Expense - Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $41
compared to $274 for the comparable period in 2003. The decline in interest
expense is attributable to the elimination of mortgage interest on the Company's
former manufacturing facility, sold in December of 2003, and the rejection of
certain capital leases as a result of the bankruptcy filing. Pursuant to a
Financing Agreement dated June 27, 2002, the Company entered into a credit
facility with the CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. ("CIT"). By assignment dated
February 21, 2003, CIT assigned all of its right, title and interest in and to
the CIT Credit Facility to Valtec Capital Corporation ("Valtec"). Prior to this
assignment, the Company had been amortizing the capitalized debt financing costs
associated with the CIT agreement to interest expense. For the first quarter
ended March 31, 2003, the amortized capitalized debt financing costs were $42.
Income Tax Expense - For the first quarter of 2004 and 2003 the Company did not
record income tax expense or credit against the recorded results. The Company
recorded no income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, based on
the Company's estimate of its annual effective income tax rate to be zero. For
annual reporting purposes, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance
for its net deferred tax assets.
Net Income (Loss) - For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded
net income of $11, compared to net loss of $1,419 for the quarter ended March
31, 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The matters described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources," to the extent that
they relate to future events or expectations, may be significantly affected by
the Chapter 11 process. Those proceedings involve, or may result in, various
restrictions on the Company's activities, limitations on financing, the need to
obtain Bankruptcy Court and Creditors' Committee approval for various matters
and uncertainty as to relationships with vendors, suppliers, customers and
others with whom we may conduct or seek to conduct business.
Generally, under the Bankruptcy Code, most of a debtor's liabilities must be
satisfied in full before the debtor's stockholders can receive any distribution
on account of such shares. The rights and claims of the Company's various
creditors and security holders will be determined by the confirmed plan of
reorganization. Further, it is also likely that pre-petition unsecured claims
against the Company will be substantially impaired in connection with the
Company's reorganization. At this time the Company can make no prediction
concerning how each of these claims will be valued in the bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company believes that the presently outstanding equity
securities will have no value and it is expected that those securities will be
canceled under any plan of reorganization that the Company proposes. For this
reason, the Company urges that caution be exercised with respect to existing and
future claims or investments in any Boundless security.
The Company is highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a
tangible net worth deficit of $14,877 and total liabilities of $19,015. As of
March 31, 2004, the Company had a tangible net worth deficit of $14,866 and
total liabilities of $18,643. The Company had a working capital deficit,
inclusive of liabilities and other items subject to compromise, of approximately
$13,252 as of March 31, 2004, compared to working capital deficit of $13,246 as
of December 31, 2003. Historically, the Company has relied on cash flow from
operations, bank borrowings and sales of its common stock to finance its working
capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.
On the Effective Date, the Company shall issue, or cause to be issued for
Vision's
13 of 23
benefit, and in its name, shares of Boundless Common Stock sufficient to provide
Vision with 100% of the Boundless Common Stock issued and outstanding, or to be
issued and outstanding, under the Plan (the "Vision Shares"). Such issuance of
the Vision Shares shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of the Vision
Claim, which claim was $695, with accrued interest, at March 31, 2004.
The Company's Plan of Reorganization contemplates an annual payment of cash to
holders of allowed unsecured claims (the "Claims"). The Company believes that
these Claims aggregate approximately $14,586 as of December 31, 2005. Holders of
Claims shall receive their Pro Rata share of cash payments in an amount equal to
2% of annual revenues up to and including $7 million, on each of the first,
second and third anniversary dates of the Effective Date; and cash payments in
an amount equal to 4% of annual revenues exceeding $7 million, on each of the
first, second and third anniversary dates of the Effective Date.
Payments of Claims shall be escrowed on a monthly basis, and the Company must
forward monthly sales reports and confirmation of the escrow to Committee
Counsel. Each of the annual payments to be distributed to holders of the Claims
shall be: (i) not less than $150 on each of the first and second anniversary
dates; and (ii) not less than $200 on the third anniversary dates. The total
amount to be distributed to holders of the Claims shall be not less than $500
(the "Minimum Distribution").
If the Company merges with another entity or is acquired by another entity prior
to the payments of all amounts due and owing pursuant to the payment plan, the
remaining entity must assume the Company's obligations contained herein. Annual
revenues shall include only those revenues generated from sales of the Company's
product line existing prior to any merger or acquisition.
At March 31, 2004, the Company had accrued approximately $759 for legal
assistance throughout the bankruptcy period. As of December 31, 2005,
outstanding professional fees, inclusive of legal fees, are estimated to
approximate $1,430 as of the Effective Date. Upon application for payment
pursuant to Sections 330, 331 and 503(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and approval by
the Bankruptcy Court, any and all professional fees not paid on or before the
Effective Date shall be paid by the Company on such terms as the parties shall
agree. Interest shall accrue on any unpaid professional fees from the Effective
Date at a rate of eight (8%) percent per annum.
Since it is anticipated that professional fees shall not be paid in full on the
Effective Date, the Professionals (other than auditors) shall be granted a
security interest upon all of the Company's assets, junior to the security
interest thereon of Valtec but pari passu with the Vision security interest, if
any. When the Professionals shall have been paid in full, the security interest
in their favor shall be cancelled and be of no further force and effect.
The Company's liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on
the normal ongoing operations of the Company's businesses and some of which
arise from uncertainties related to global economies. In the event there is a
decline in the Company's sales and earnings and/or a decrease in availability
under the credit line, the Company's cash flow would be further adversely
affected. Accordingly, the Company may not have the necessary cash to fund all
of its obligations.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March
31, 2004 was $335, principally related to net income before reorganization
expenses of $124, reductions in inventories and cash on deposit with lenders of
$498 and $167, respectively, and increases in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $185. In addition, non-cash expenses, principally depreciation and
amortization were $32. This amount was offset by increases in receivables,
including trade receivables, affiliate receivables and other receivables of
$570, decreases in deferred credits of $42, and non-cash credits of $24. Net
cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31,
2003 was $2,113, principally related to increases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $1,180, decreases in trade accounts receivable and
inventories of $965 and $228,
14 of 23
respectively, non-cash charges of $398 for inventory reserves, $368 of
depreciation and amortization, and $289 for the write-off of debt financing
costs. These amounts were offset by a net loss before reorganization expenses of
$1,083, decreases in deferred revenue of $99, increases in cash on deposit with
lenders of $66, and increases in prepaid expenses of $72.
For the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, net cash used in reorganization
activities was $113 and $336, respectively. During the first quarter of 2004 the
Company incurred expenses of $123 in connection with the relocation of its
manufacturing facility and $13 in professional fees. These items were offset by
cash proceeds from the sale of assets of $23 and increases in liabilities of $4.
During the first quarter of 2003 professional fees, primarily for legal expenses
were $325 and relocation expenses were $11.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004,
consisted of equipment purchases of $14.
During the first quarter of 2004, net cash used in financing activities was
$519, consisting of net payments to Valtec under the respective DIP financing
agreement. During the first quarter of 2003, DIP payments to Valtec and net
payments to CIT, the Company's lender prior to Valtec, were $1411.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION MAY PROVE INACCURATE
This Form 10-Q contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements
represent the Company's expectations and beliefs concerning future events, based
on information available to us on the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, and
are subject to various risks and uncertainties. We disclaim any intent or
obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether in
response to new information, unforeseen events or changed circumstances except
as required to comply with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities
laws.
Forward looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of
activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any
future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievement expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to review
carefully the discussion concerning these and other risks which can materially
affect the Company's business, operations, financial condition and future
prospects.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology
such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "intend," "expect," "anticipate,"
"assume", "hope", "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "predict,"
"approximate," "potential," "continue", or the negative of such terms.
Statements including these words and variations of such words, and other similar
expressions, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that
the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable
based upon its knowledge of its business, the Company cannot absolutely predict
or guarantee its future results, levels of activity, performance, or
achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes
responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements.
The Company notes that a variety of factors could cause its actual results
and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in its forward-looking statements. The risks and
uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and
results of its business include, but are not limited to, the following: changes
in spending patterns; changes in overall economic conditions; the impact of
competition and pricing; the financial condition of the suppliers and
manufacturers from whom the Company sources its merchandise; changes in tax
laws; the Company's ability to hire, train and retain a consistent supply of
reliable and effective participants in its marketing operations; general
economic, business and social conditions in the United States; the costs of
complying with changes in applicable labor
15 of 23
laws or requirements, including without limitation with respect to health care;
changes in the costs of interest rates, insurance, shipping and postage, energy,
fuel and other business utilities; the risk of non-payment by, and/or insolvency
or bankruptcy of, customers and others owing indebtedness to the Company;

the forward-looking statements. Consequently, these cautionary statements
qualify all of the forward looking statements made herein. The Company cannot
assure the reader that the results or developments anticipated by it will be
realized or, even if substantially realized, that those results or developments
will result in the expected consequences for it or affect it, its business or
operations in the way the Company expects. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their
dates, or on any subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf, which are expressly
qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The Company does not
undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or thereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other
than as required to comply with the disclosure requirements of the federal
securities laws.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is related
primarily to the Company's revolving credit facility and long-term debt
obligations. The Company managed this risk through utilization of interest rate
swap agreements in amounts not exceeding the principal amount of its outstanding
obligations. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133) requires the
Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.
If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value
of assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in
other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of a hedging derivative's change in fair value is
immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company places its investments with high credit quality issuers and, by
policy, is averse to principal loss and ensures the safety and preservation of
its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk.
As of December 31, 2005 the Company's investments consisted of cash balances
maintained in its corporate account with the JPMorganChase Bank.
All sales arrangements with international customers are denominated in U.S.
dollars. These customers are permitted to elect payment of their next month's
orders in local currency based on an exchange rate provided one month in advance
from the Company. The Company does not use foreign currency forward exchange
contracts or purchased currency options to hedge local currency cash flows or
for trading purposes. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses have not been
material to the Company's results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2004. Based on that
evaluation, the Company's management, including the
16 of 23
CEO and CFO, has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
are effective. During the period covered by this report, there was no change in
the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Matters
In re: Boundless Corporation, et. al.
As discussed above, on the Petition Date, the Company, and its wholly and
majority owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Cases
are being jointly administered under the caption "In re Boundless Corporation,
et al., Case No. 03-81558-478." As debtors-in-possession, we are authorized
under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but may not
engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior
approval of the Bankruptcy Court. As of the Petition Date, virtually all pending
litigation (including some of the actions described below) is stayed, and absent
further order of the Bankruptcy Court, no party, subject to certain exceptions,
may take any action, again subject to certain exceptions, to recover on
pre-petition claims against us. In addition, we may reject pre-petition
executory contracts and unexpired lease obligations, and parties affected by
these rejections may file claims with the Bankruptcy Court. At this time, it is
not possible to predict the outcome of the Chapter 11 process or its effect on
the Company's business.
An action was commenced by Kareem Mangaroo, employed by Boundless Technologies
between February 1994 and April 1999 as a material handler ("Plaintiff"), on
February 5, 2001, against Boundless Technologies, Boundless Corporation, and
four employees of the Company (Joseph Gardner, its CFO, Michelle Flaherty,
formerly manager of Human Resources, Thomas Iavarone, director of Logistics, and
Anthony San Martin, manager of Shipping), seeking damages for the unlawful
termination of Plaintiff's employment in violation of Plaintiff's rights under
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Equal Protection
Clause and Due Process Clause, pursuant to the Civil Rights Act of 1886, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 1981; and for damages as a result of the conspiratory
actions of defendants to deprive Plaintiff of his equal protection and due
process rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Section 1985 and for violation of
Plaintiff's rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act 29 U.S.C.
Section 1001. Plaintiff further alleges claims under State law for breach of
contract. The verified complaint was filed in the United States District Court,
Eastern District of New York. Plaintiff seeks (i) compensatory damages of $1
million from each of Boundless Technologies and four employees of the company
(jointly and severally), (ii) punitive damages of $2 million from each of
Boundless Technologies, the Company, and four employees of the Company (jointly
and severally), (iii) $1 million against Boundless Technologies for breach of
contract, and (iv) the value of forfeited options, attorney's fees, costs of the
action and other relief as the court deems necessary.
On February 17, 2003, the defendants' motion for summary judgment was granted.
On March 21, 2003, Plaintiff served Notice of Appeal to the United States Court
of Appeals for the Second Circuit in opposition to the granting of defendants'
motion for summary judgment. On October 15, 2003, the United States Court of
Appeal for the Second Circuit granted the defendants' motion to Stay the appeal
in accordance with 11 U.S.C. Section 362, which Stay is still in effect. The
Company intends to vigorously defend this suit since it believes that it has
meritorious defenses to the action.
An action was commenced by Donald W. Lytle ("Plaintiff") on February 8, 2001,
against Boundless Technologies, Inc., GN Netcom, Inc., Portal Connect, Inc., and
Wholesale Audio Video, Inc. in the Iowa District Court, Johnson County; Law No.
LACV061503 alleging negligence and products defects resulting in injuries to
Plaintiff's hearing as a result of the use of one model of the Company's General
Display Terminals. Plaintiff was suing for unspecified damages. On January 17,
2003, Plaintiff filed a Dismissal with Prejudice dismissing Plaintiff's claims
against Boundless Technologies, Inc.
In November 2002, Comdial Corporation filed a demand for arbitration with the
American
18 of 23
Arbitration Association against Boundless Manufacturing Services, Inc.
("Boundless"). Among other things, Comdial contends that Boundless breached its
contractual obligations to Comdial by failing to meet Comdial's orders for the
delivery of products manufactured by Boundless. The Comdial demand seeks damages
in excess of $6.0 million. On February 6, 2003, Boundless responded to the
demand by denying substantially all of Comdial's claims and asserting
counterclaims totaling approximately $8.2 million, including approximately $0.8
million in past due invoiced amounts. On March 13, 2003, Boundless announced
that it has filed for protection pursuant to Ch. 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code,
causing a stay in the arbitration matter. It is not known at this time whether
this filing will have any long-term impact on the arbitration, or whether the
arbitration will eventually proceed. No amounts have been accrued in the
Company's financial statements for any losses. In May 2005 Comdial Corporation
filed for protection under Ch. 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Since the
Company's claims against Comdial accrued prior to Comdial's filing for
bankruptcy, any damages awarded to the Company will constitute pre-petition
claims against Comdial.
