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 and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. 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, 2004. 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 24
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 our 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. Summary of Certain 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 $271 classified as "cash on deposit
with lender" at December 31, 2004, representing cash on-hand in a lockbox
account under the control of the Company's DIP lender.
7 of 24
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.
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. For the quarter ended September 30,
2005, purchases from Radiance Electronics and Video Display Corporation
accounted for approximately 38% and 12%, respectively, of total purchases.
During the third quarter of 2004 purchases from Radiance Electronics and Ansen
Corporation accounted for 35% and 24%, respectively, of the Company's total
purchases of material.
The balance due Ansen was approximately $129 and $561 at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively; and such balance is included in "Purchase order
commitments" on the balance sheets.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amount charged to advertising
expense was $0 and $2 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
The Company did not incur advertising expense for the first nine months of 2005.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss attributable to common stockholders includes the accretion of
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.
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.
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.
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. Boundless is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption
of SFAS 151 will have on its
8 of 24
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. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter
of fiscal 2006, beginning January 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123R, we must determine
the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments,
the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be
used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and
retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive options, prior periods may
be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all
periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be
recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of
the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive methods would
record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock
beginning with the first period restated. We are evaluating the requirements of
SFAS 123R and we expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and earnings per
share. We have not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of
adopting SFAS 123R, and we have not determined whether the adoption will result
in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.
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.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143" ("FIN 47"),
which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a
conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair
value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by Boundless in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006. Boundless is currently evaluating the effect that the
adoption of FIN 47 will have on its consolidated results of operations and
financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections" ("SFAS 154") which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
20 "Accounting Changes" and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial Statements--An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28." SFAS 154 provides
guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error
corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable
date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and
the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting
changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by Boundless in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006. Boundless is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of
SFAS 154 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial
condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.
In June 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 143-1, "Accounting for Electronic
Equipment Waste Obligations" ("FSP 143-1"), which provides guidance on the
accounting for certain
9 of 24
obligations associated with the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (the "Directive"), which was adopted by the European Union ("EU").
Under the Directive, the waste management obligation for historical equipment
(products put on the market on or prior to August 13, 2005) remains with the
commercial user until the equipment is replaced. FSP 143-1 is required to be
applied to the later of the first reporting period ending after June 8, 2005 or
the date of the Directive's adoption into law by the applicable EU member
countries in which we have significant operations. Boundless is currently
evaluating the effect that the adoption of FSP 143-1 will have on its
consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Such effects will
depend on the respective laws adopted by the EU member countries.
3. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is 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.
The major components of inventories are as follows:
September 30, December 31,
------------- -------------
2005 2004
------------- -------------
Raw materials and purchased components $ 1,054 $ 1,584
Finished goods 164 126
Manufacturing inventory reserves (775) (935)
Service parts 317 319
------------- -------------
$ 760 $ 1,094
============= =============
4. Property and equipment
Property and equipment consisted of the following:
September 30, December 31,
------------------------------
2005 2004
------------- -------------
Buildings and improvements $ 17 $ 14
Machinery and equipment 6,529 6,505
------------- -------------
6,546 6,519
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 6,418 6,416
------------- -------------
$ 128 $ 103
============= =============
Depreciation expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004 was
$2 and $42, respectively. The Company recorded repairs and maintenance expenses
of $2 and $3 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
The Company discontinued recording depreciation expense on its machinery and
equipment in the first quarter of 2005 as those assets had reached their
estimated salvage value.
5. 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.
10 of 24
At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had liabilities and
other items subject to compromise of approximately $14,628 and $14,622 which
consisted of the following:
September 30, December 31,
------------- -------------
2005 2004
------------- -------------
Liabilities:
Accounts payable $ 10,954 $ 10,948
Convertible notes payable, principally related to
prior separation agreements 965 965
Accrued salaries 397 397
Accrued warranty 222 222
Capital lease obligations 438 438
------------- -------------
12,976 12,970
Other:
Manditorily redeemable preferred stock 1,652 1,652
------------- -------------
$ 14,628 $ 14,622
============= =============
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.
6. Stockholders' Deficit
At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 stockholders' deficit consisted of
the following:
September 30, December 31,
------------------------------
2005 2004
------------- -------------
Preferred stock, $0.01 par value, 1,000,000 shares
authorized, none issued $ -- $ --

8. 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. Ingram Micro and
1st Solutions contributed approximately 22% and 14%, respectively, of revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Ingram Micro also contributed 22%
of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. For the quarter ended
September 30, 2004, Ingram Micro and Jetstar provided 20% and 11%, respectively,
of total Company revenues.
9. 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 Proceedings" for a description of
outstanding lawsuits and claims.
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.
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.
Revenue - Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $1,411 as
compared to $1,412 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded revenue of $4,562 versus revenue
of $5,406 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Sales of the Company's General Display Terminals were $1,304 and $4,092,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. During
2004, General Display Terminal revenue was $1,203 and $4,763, respectively, for
the three and nine months ended September 30. The decline in year-to-date 2005
revenue is attributable to decreased sales to Hewlett Packard. During 2003,
Hewlett Packard announced the discontinuation of sales of its General Display
Terminal, sourced from the Company, in favor of technologically newer desktop
terminal devices. As a result of this transition, Hewlett Packard purchased $982
during the first three quarters of 2004; which amount included the acquisition
of product quantities sufficient to meet its then current needs, as well as its
near-term projected needs during the product transition period. For the first
three quarters of 2005, purchases from Hewlett Packard amounted to approximately
$348.
Text revenue includes sales of the Company's general-purpose display terminals.
The Company's product family falls into two general classes: ANSI or ASCII
display terminals. The general purpose segment of the Text market, whether ANSI
or ASCII, is primarily characterized as a "replacement sale" market. Text
terminal customer purchasing criteria are based on quality, customization,
compatibility with other terminals, price and, as a result of the markets
replacement characterization, lead-times. Historically, the Company
12 of 24
has been a leader in these categories.
The Company anticipates sales of its General Display Terminals will continue to
decline as customers transition to newer technologies with graphical
capabilities.
Net revenue from EMS activities, primarily logistics services sold to Unique
Co-operative Solutions, Inc. ("UCSI"), were $13 for the nine months ended June
30, 2005, as compared to $114 in the comparable period of 2004. UCSI is wholly
owned by Mr. Oscar Smith, who also is the majority shareholder of Vision
Technologies, Inc. ("Vision"). The Company's Plan of Reorganization, assuming
approval by the Bankruptcy Court, contemplates that Vision will own 100% of the
Company, and will receive this ownership in settlement of the $650 note payable
due to him plus accrued interest of $134. Mr. Smith currently owns approximately
15% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.
Net revenue from the Company's repairs and spare parts business for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005 was $101 as compared to $177 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004. This revenue includes the sale of spare parts, repair of
product outside of the warranty period, and the sale of multi-year warranty
contracts. Year-to-date revenue in 2005 was $447 versus $529 in 2004.
Historically, customer service revenue has been driven from the sales of the
Company's text terminal products.
The Company's engineering efforts have focused on cost reduction and reliability
improvements. These efforts have decreased the average failure rate of the
Company's text terminals and extended the average useful life of the text
terminal. These improvements have reduced the Company's ability to generate
revenue from spare parts sales and repair activities. In addition, a substantial
market has evolved around the sale of used equipment, as customers trade in text
terminals when they switch to alternative technologies, thereby reducing the
Company's opportunity to sell new equipment.
During the third quarter of 2005, Ingram Micro contributed 22%, and 1st.
Solutions contributed 14%, of total revenues. Ingram Micro and Jetstar
contributed 20% and 11%, respectively, of total revenue for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004.
Gross Margin - The Company recorded gross margin for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 of $356 (25% of revenue) compared to gross margin of $335
(24% of revenue) for the third quarter of 2004. On a year-to-date basis, gross
margin decline by $304, or 21%, from $1,420 in 2004 to $1,116 in 2005.
Total Operating Expenses - For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, operating
expenses, excluding interest expense and reorganization expenses associated with
the Company's bankruptcy filing, were $284 (20% of revenue), compared to
expenses for the third quarter of 2004 of $266 (19% of revenue). Year-to-date
operating expenses decreased $287, or 25%, from $1,129 in 2004 to $842 in 2005.
The decrease in year-to-date operating expenses is attributable to layoffs and
other expense control activities implemented by the Company in order to align
its expense structure with its revenue. These layoffs included the elimination
of senior management, including the Company's chief executive officer, and a
restructuring of the Company's sales group.
The Company reviews its account receivable balances monthly to assess its
estimate of the collectability of such accounts. The Company utilizes ratios
based on its historical experience, as well as management's judgment, in its
assessment. For the third quarter of 2005 the Company recorded bad debt reserves
against its receivables in an amount of approximately $20. No reserve or accrual
was recorded during the third quarter of 2004.
Loss on Reimbursement of Employee Services- Beginning in the first quarter of
2004 and through May 2005, the Company allocated personnel and other personnel
related expenses to UCSI, via monthly charges, at an agreed monthly amount;
which amount represented an estimate of UCSI's utilization of the Company's
personnel for UCSI's projects and programs. This arrangement terminated in May
2005. The difference between the estimated utilization of resources and the
monthly charge is recorded as a loss on reimbursement of
13 of 24
employee services. For the third quarter ended September 30, 2004, monthly
charges amounted to $75, resulting in a loss on reimbursement of $15. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 the loss on reimbursement of
employee services was $9 and $45, respectively.
Other costs/income - Other costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $7
compared to other income of $40 for the period ended September 30, 2004. Other
income in the third quarter of 2004 is composed of the partial reversal of
previously accrued expenses, originally in the amount of approximately $58, and
recorded during the second quarter of 2004 in connection with the Company's
decision to shut down its depot repair center in Illinois. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2005, other income was $14. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2004, other income was $15.
Interest Expense - Interest expense for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, was $44 and $136, respectively. Interest expense was $21 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and $99 for the nine months ended September
30, 2004. In connection with the bankruptcy filing, during the quarter ended
March 31, 2003, the Company obtained debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing with
Valtec Capital, LLC. At September 30, 2004, the balance owed Valtec was
approximately $1,013, and carried an interest rate of 8% per annum. In January
2005, the Company replaced the Valtec Capital DIP financing with DIP financing
provided by Entrepreneur Growth Capital, LLC ("EGC"). At September 30, 2005, the
balance due EGC was $229, and carried an interest rate of the prime rate plus
6%. In addition, in June 2003 the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company to
secure $650 of junior secured DIP financing from Vision. The Vision DIP
financing carries interest at 8% per annum.
Reorganization Expenses- During the third quarter of 2005 the Company recorded
reorganization expenses of $122, primarily for legal fees incurred in the
bankruptcy. For the quarter ended September 30, 2004, reorganization expenses
were $86. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, reorganization expenses
were $314, compared to $275 for the comparable period in 2004. The 2004
year-to-date amount includes approximately $176 related to expenses associated
with the Company's relocating its manufacturing operations to Farmingdale, New
York, and a credit of $23 from the sale of excess assets.
Income Tax Expense/Credit - For the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004
the Company did not record income tax expense or credit against the recorded
results. The Company recorded no income tax benefit for these quarters 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 Loss - For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded a net
loss of $101, compared to a net loss of $13 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
On a year-to-date basis the net loss was $171 in 2005 compared to $113 in 2004.
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 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 we can make no prediction concerning how each of
these claims will be valued in the bankruptcy proceedings. We believe that the
Company's presently outstanding equity securities will have no value and it is
expected that those securities will be canceled under any plan of reorganization
that we propose. For this reason, we urge that caution be exercised with respect
to existing and future claims or
14 of 24
investments in any Boundless security.
The Company is highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had a
tangible net worth deficit of $14,905 and total liabilities of $17,915. As of
September 30, 2005, the Company had a tangible net worth deficit of $15,076 and
total liabilities of $17,312. The Company had a working capital deficit,
inclusive of liabilities and other items subject to compromise, of approximately
$14,467 as of September 30, 2005, compared to working capital deficit of $13,990
as of December 31, 2004. 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 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 amounted to $784, inclusive of
accrued interest, at September 30, 2005.
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 at 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 September 30, 2005, the Company had accrued approximately $1,254 for legal
assistance throughout the bankruptcy period. As of December, 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 EGC, 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 our 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
15 of 24
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 nine months ended September
30, 2005 was $479, principally related to net income before reorganization
expenses of $143 and reductions in trade accounts receivable and inventories of
$306 and $334, respectively. In addition, cash on deposit with the Company's DIP
lender declined by $271 and deferred revenues increased by $22. Non-cash
expenses incurred during the first nine months of 2005, principally bad debt
expense, were $32. These amounts were offset by reductions in accounts payable
and accrued expenses of $424 and increases in other assets, principally cash
collateral and prepaid expenses, of $211. Net cash provided by operating
activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $634, principally
related to net income before reorganization expenses of $162, reductions in
inventories of $1,004, and reductions in other receivables and pre-paid expenses
of $60 and $62, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded non-cash
depreciation expenses of $42. This amount was offset by increases in trade
accounts receivable of $304, increases in receivables from affiliates of $134, a
reduction in the balance of deferred revenues of $98, and non-cash credits of
$24 relating to the reversal of previously accrued reserves against trade
accounts receivable. Additionally, accounts payable and accrued expenses
declined by $76.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net cash used in reorganization
activities was $89 composed primarily of professional fees of $225, fees of the
U.S. Trustee administering the bankruptcy case of $22, and facility relocation
expenses of $33. These expenses were offset by increases in accrued liabilities
of $225 for legal expenses. Net cash used in reorganization activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $175, which amount included $176 of
expenses primarily related to the Company's relocation of its manufacturing
facility, offset by increases in accrued liabilities of $100, principally for
legal expenses, and cash proceeds of $23 from the sale of excess machinery and
equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 and 2004, consisted of equipment purchases of $27 and $14, respectively.
During the first three quarters of 2005 and 2004, net cash used in financing
activities was $425 and $755, respectively, consisting of net payments to EGC
and Valtec under the respective DIP financing agreements.
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

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

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 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; actions that may be

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 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 September 30, 2005 the Company's investments consisted of cash balances
maintained in its corporate account with the JPMorganChase Bank.
17 of 24
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 September 30, 2005. Based on that
evaluation, the Company's management, including the 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. ss. 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.
ss. 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. ss. 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 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
19 of 24
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.
