The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rim Semiconductor Company (formerly New Visual Corporation) and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, NV Entertainment, Inc. (“NV Entertainment” and collectively, the “Company”). Top Secret Productions, LLC is a 50% - owned subsidiary of NV Entertainment. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates its 50% - owned subsidiary Top Secret Productions, LLC due to the Company’s control of management and financial matters of such entity.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (Amendment No. 2) for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005.

These results for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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.

Rim Semiconductor Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on December 5, 1985. The Company operates in two business segments, the production of motion pictures, films and videos (“Entertainment Segment”) and the development of new semiconductor technologies (“Semiconductor Segment”). The Company’s Entertainment Segment is dependent on future revenues from the Company’s film “Step Into Liquid” (“Film”). The Semiconductor Segment is dependent on the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its developed technology, and has generated no revenues to date. The Company’s first chipset was first made available to prospective customers for evaluation and testing during the three months ended January 31, 2006.

Through its subsidiary NV Entertainment the Company has operating revenues for its Entertainment Segment, but may continue to report operating losses for this segment. The Semiconductor Segment will have no operating revenues until successful commercialization of its developed technology, but will continue to incur substantial operating expenses, capitalized costs and operating losses.

Historically, the Company has experienced significant recurring net operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s main source of liquidity has been equity and debt financing, which was used to fund historical losses from operating activities. Based on the Company’s current cash position, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to meet its funding needs through at least September 2007. The Company plans to increase its expenses above the current level in order to realize its business plans.

NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT

On July 6, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultations by management and the Audit Committee with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the classification of warrants issued in connection with the 2005 and 2006 convertible debentures was not in accordance with interpretations of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To and Potentially Settled In, a Company’s Own Stock.”  Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended April 30, 2006, as filed on June 14, 2006 (the “April 2006 10-QSB”) have been restated to correct the accounting for the warrants as derivative liabilities.  The previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements included in the April 2006 10-QSB should not be relied upon.  As a result of this restatement, $10,419,140 included in stockholders' equity at April 30, 2006 should have been recorded as a derivative liability and the Company should have recorded additional interest expense of $5,673,953 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006. This expense was principally related to the amount ($5,608,156) by which the fair value on April 30, 2006 of warrants issued to purchasers of debentures sold by the Company in March 2006 exceeded the debt discount allocated to such warrants. See Note 8. In

NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT (CONTINUED)

addition, the Company should have recorded losses of $460,400 and $484,538, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2006, on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The treatment of this non-cash accounting item results in an increase in the Company’s net loss for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 as follows:

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Film In Distribution

Statement of Position 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films (“SOP-00-2”) requires that film costs be capitalized and reported as a separate asset on the balance sheet. Film costs include all direct negative costs incurred in the production of a film, as well as allocations of production overhead and capitalized interest. Direct negative costs include cost of scenario, story, compensation of cast, directors, producers, writers, extras and staff, cost of set construction, wardrobe, accessories, sound synchronization, rental of facilities on location and post production costs. SOP-00-2 also requires that film costs be amortized and participation costs accrued, using the individual-film-forecast-computation method, which amortizes or accrues such costs in the same ratio that the current period actual revenue (numerator) bears to the estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the fiscal year (denominator). The Company makes certain estimates and judgments of its future gross revenue to be received for the Film based on information received by its distributor, historical results and management’s knowledge of the industry. Revenue and cost forecasts are continually reviewed by management and revised when warranted by changing conditions. A change to the estimate of gross revenues for the Film may result in an increase or decrease to the percentage of amortization of capitalized film costs relative to a previous period.

In addition, SOP-00-2 also requires that if an event or change in circumstances indicates that an entity should assess whether the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized film costs, then an entity should determine the fair value of the film and write-off to the statement of operations the amount by which the unamortized film costs exceeds the film’s fair value.

As a result of impairment reviews during the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company wrote down the carrying value attributed to the Film to $0.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its semiconductor products when evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is determinable or fixed, legal title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of our products to our customers, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. To date the Company has not recognized any revenues related to the sale of its semiconductor products.

The Company recognizes film revenue from the distribution of its feature film and related products when earned and reasonably estimable in accordance with SOP 00-2. The following conditions must be met in order to recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 00-2:

 
·
persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists;
 
·
the film is complete and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery;
 
·
the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale;
 
·
the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and
 
·
collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.

Under a rights agreement with Lions Gate Entertainment (“LGE”), the domestic distributor for its Film entitled “Step Into Liquid,” the Company shares with LGE in the profits of the Film after LGE recovers its marketing, distribution and other predefined costs and fees. The agreement provides for the payment of minimum guaranteed license fees, usually payable on delivery of the respective completed film, that are subject to further increase based on the actual distribution results in the respective territory.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Amounts allocated to acquired-in-process research and development costs from business combinations are charged to earnings at the consummation of the acquisition.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Capitalization of computer software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility for the Company’s computer software is generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high-risk development issues and the completion of research and development on the product hardware in which it is to be used. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technology.

Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs commences when the related products become available for general release to customers. Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis. The annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The estimated useful life of the Company’s existing product is seven years.
 
 
10

 
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized software development costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, the capitalized cost of each software product is then valued at the lower of its remaining unamortized costs or net realizable value.

No assurance can be given that such technology will receive market acceptance. Accordingly, it is possible that the carrying amount of the technology license may be reduced materially in the near future.

The Company had amortization expense of $212,536 and $315,232 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively, related to its capitalized software development costs. There was no amortization expense for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock based on the average market price of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, no effect has been given to outstanding options, warrants, convertible notes payable, or convertible debentures in the diluted computation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

On November 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning on November 1, 2005. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).

The Company early adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, as of November 1, 2005, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended April 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options had been recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations because the exercise price of the Company’s stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2006 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro-forma provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to October 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company has continued to attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense on the straight-line single option method.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) related to employee stock options was $378,802 and $447,839 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. Stock based-compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro-forma provisions of SFAS 123 was $0 and $247,057 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. Stock based-compensation expense recognized for non-employees under other accounting standards was $292,766 and $315,674 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options under other accounting standards for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005 was $20,915 and $20,915, respectively. Stock based-compensation expense recognized for non-employees under other accounting standards was $135,967 and $415,515 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005, respectively.
 
As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro-forma information required under SFAS 123(R) for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2005, the FASB published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting principles. Pursuant to the new rules, all such changes must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 completely replaces Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 20 and SFAS 3, though it carries forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect to accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity, and the correction of errors. The requirements in SFAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company will apply these requirements to any accounting changes after the implementation date.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a tentative conclusion on EITF Issue No. 05-1, “Accounting for the Conversion of an Instrument That Becomes Convertible upon the Issuer’s Exercise of a Call Option” that no gain or loss should be recognized upon the conversion of an instrument that becomes convertible as a result of an issuer’s exercise of a call option pursuant to the original terms of the instrument. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, “The Meaning of ‘Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument’ in EITF Issue No. 00-19, ‘Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock’” (“EITF No. 05-2”), which addresses when a convertible debt instrument should be considered “conventional” for the purpose of applying the guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if the instrument’s economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity. EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2 since the required implementation date. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

EITF Issue No. 05-4 “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF Issue No. 00-19, ‘Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock’” (“EITF No. 05-4”) addresses financial instruments, such as stock purchase warrants, which are accounted for under EITF No. 00-19 that may be issued at the same time and in contemplation of a registration rights agreement that includes a liquidated damages clause. The consensus of EITF No. 05-4 has not been finalized. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)

In September 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related Issues” (“EITF No. 05-7”), which addresses whether a modification to a conversion option that changes its fair value affects the recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument after the modification and whether a borrower should recognize a beneficial conversion feature, not a debt extinguishment, if a debt modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt (for example, the modification reduces the conversion price of the debt). EITF No. 05-7 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted EITF No. 05-7 as of the beginning of the Company’s interim reporting period that began on February 1, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-8, “Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature” (“EITF No. 05-8”), which addresses the treatment of convertible debt issued with a beneficial conversion feature as a temporary difference under the guidance in SFAS 109. In addition, deferred taxes recognized for a temporary difference of debt with a beneficial conversion feature should be recognized as an adjustment of additional paid-in capital. Entities should apply the guidance in EITF No. 05-8 in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Its provisions should be applied retrospectively under the guidance in SFAS 154 to all convertible debt instruments with a beneficial conversion feature accounted for under the guidance in EITF No. 00-27 “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 ‘Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios.’” The Company has applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-8 to all previously existing convertible debt instruments with a beneficial conversion feature and will apply the requirements of EITF No. 05-8 for all new convertible debt instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. The adoption of this pronouncement for new convertible debt instruments with a beneficial conversion feature is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The requirements in SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 4 - FILM IN DISTRIBUTION

The Company recognized revenues of $18,698 and $58,874 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of $7,397 and $16,198 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005, respectively. There was no amortization expense for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006. The Company had amortization expense of $5,320 and $11,945 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 5 - DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

As of April 30, 2006, deferred financing costs consisted of costs incurred and warrants issued in connection with the sale of $6,000,000 of 2006 Debentures, $3,500,000 of 2005 Debentures, $1,350,000 of 7% convertible debentures, and promissory notes:

Costs incurred in connection with debt financings are capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized over the term of the related debt. If any or all of the related debt is converted or repaid prior to its maturity date, a pro-rata share of the related deferred financing costs are written off and recorded as amortization expense in the period of the conversion or repayment in the consolidated statement of operations.

For the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, amortization of deferred financing costs was $324,852 and $568,819, respectively. For the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005, amortization of deferred financing costs was $28,490 and $53,109, respectively.

NOTE 6 - EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

In April 2005, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Zaiq Technologies, Inc. (“Zaiq”), pursuant to which the Company issued 4,651,163 shares of common stock with a value of $744,186 and a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,392,000 (the “Zaiq Note”) in exchange for the surrender by Zaiq of 3,192 shares of Redeemable Series B Preferred Stock. The fair value of the common stock and promissory note on the closing date was determined to be less than the aggregate liquidation preference of the Redeemable Series B Preferred Stock and accordingly, a gain of $55,814 was recognized during the year ended October 31, 2005.

On December 19, 2005, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Zaiq, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase from Zaiq for total consideration of $200,000 the following Zaiq assets: (i) 5,180,474 shares (the “Zaiq Shares”) of the Company’s common stock held of record by Zaiq, and (ii) the remaining principal balance of the Zaiq Note.

The Company had the right under the letter agreement to assign any or all of its purchase commitment, and assigned its right to purchase 4,680,620 of the Zaiq Shares to an unaffiliated third party that previously invested in the Company.

On December 20, 2005, the Company paid Zaiq an aggregate of $129,789, out of an advance on the note payable that was subsequently signed in January 2006 (see Note 9), to purchase the Zaiq Note and 499,854 Zaiq Shares. The Zaiq Shares repurchased by the Company have been accounted for as treasury stock, carried at cost, and reflected as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. The remaining principal and accrued interest of $1,292,111 on the Zaiq Note has been canceled resulting in a gain of $1,169,820.

NOTE 7 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

The Company entered into several convertible promissory note agreements with various trusts and individuals to fund the operations of the Company. The Company agreed to pay the principal and an additional amount equal to 50% of the principal on all notes below except for one note for $10,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 9% per annum and the convertible promissory note with the Company’s executive vice president discussed below.

In March 2005, the Company issued in favor of the Company’s executive vice president, a non-interest bearing convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $383,911. The convertible promissory note was issued in evidence of the Company’s obligation for deferred compensation. In accordance with APB 21, imputed interest (at an effective rate of 15%) was calculated to arrive at the fair value of the convertible promissory note. The difference between the face amount and the present value upon issuance of the convertible promissory note is shown as a discount that is amortized as interest expense over the life of the convertible promissory note. Amortization of debt discount on this note was $15,583 and $20,875 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. The Company made payments of $20,833 and $84,125 during the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. In March 2006, the remaining principal amount of this note and additional deferred compensation payable to the note holder of $212,450 were converted into a convertible promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $301,197. The principal and accrued interest on this note was repaid in April 2006. The remaining unamortized debt discount on the March 2005 convertible promissory note of $15,583 was recorded as interest expense during the three months ended April 30, 2006.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

2006 Debentures (Restated)

On March 10, 2006, the Company raised gross proceeds of $6.0 million from a private placement to 17 institutional and individual investors (the “Investors”) of its two-year 7% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “2006 Debentures”). Of this amount, $3.0 million was delivered by the Company to a security agent, acting on behalf of the Investors (the “Security Deposit”), to secure certain obligations of the Company to the Investors if the Company failed to file an amendment, with the approval of the Company’s shareholders, to its charter documents to reflect the increase in the Company’s authorized common stock from 500 million to 900 million shares (the “Authorized Share Increase”). The Company’s shareholders approved the Authorized Share Increase on April 18, 2006 and the $3.0 million Security Deposit was released to the Company.

In connection with the issuance of the 2006 Debentures, the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase 70,955,548 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share valued at $9,036,727 on the issuance date (subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers, spin-offs, and certain other transactions). The warrants are exercisable until the last day of the month in which the third anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement registering the shares underlying the warrants occurs.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million from the proceeds of the 2006 Debentures, after the payment of offering related fees and expenses and after the repayment in full of bridge loans made in December 2005 and January 2006, in the aggregate amount of $810,000.

The 2006 Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at the holder’s option at any time on or after the earlier of (i) the 65th day following issuance or (ii) the effective date of the registration statement, with the conversion price for any such conversion equal to the lower of (x) 70% of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock for the 20 days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date or (y) if the Company enters into certain financing transactions, the lowest purchase price or conversion price applicable to that transaction. The conversion price is subject to adjustment.

Interest on the 2006 Debentures accrues at the rate of 7% per annum, payable upon conversion or semi-annually (June 30 and December 31 of each year) or upon maturity, whichever occurs first, and will continue to accrue until the 2006 Debentures are fully converted and/or paid in full. Interest is payable, at the option of the Company, either (i) in cash, or (ii) in shares of common stock at the then applicable conversion price.

To secure the Company’s obligations under the 2006 Debentures, the Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets, including without limitation, its intellectual property, in favor of the Investors. The security interest terminates upon the earlier of (i) the date on which less than one-fourth of the original principal amount of the 2006 Debentures issued on the Closing Date are outstanding or (ii) payment or satisfaction of all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

On April 24, 2006, the Company filed a registration statement covering the common stock underlying the 2006 Debentures and the warrants. This registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In connection with the placement of the 2006 Debentures, a placement agent received a placement agent fee equal to (i) 10% of the aggregate purchase price (i.e., $600,000), (ii) 10% of the proceeds realized in the future from exercise of warrants issued to the Investors, (iii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,095,556 shares of common stock having an initial exercise price equal to $0.1693 per share valued at $888,779 on the issuance date, and (iv) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,095,556 shares of common stock having an initial exercise price equal to $0.15 per share valued at $903,673 on the issuance date. The exercise price of the placement agent warrants is subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, mergers, spin-offs, and certain other transactions.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)

2006 Debentures (Restated) (Continued)

The aggregate fair value of the placement agent’s warrants of $1,792,452 on the issuance date was recorded as a deferred financing cost and is being charged to interest expense over the term of the 2006 Debentures.

The gross proceeds of $6,000,000 are recorded as a liability net of a debt discount of $6,000,000 consisting of an allocation of the fair values attributed to the Investors’ warrants and to the embedded conversion feature in accordance with EITF issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock.” The debt discount consisted of a $3,428,571 value related to the Investors' warrants and a value attributed to the embedded conversion feature of $2,571,429.  The debt discount was first allocated to the embedded conversion feature based on its fair value. After reducing the gross proceeds by the value allocated to the embedded conversion feature, the remaining unallocated debt discount of $3,428,571 was allocated to the Investors' warrants. The excess of the fair value of the Investors’ warrants above the debt discount allocated to the Investors’ warrants was $5,608,156 and was recorded as interest expense.
  
In accordance with EITF No. 00-19, due to certain factors, including an uncapped liquidated damages provision in the registration rights agreement and an indeterminate amount of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debentures, the Company separately values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature related to the 2006 Debentures, the Investors’ warrants, the placement agent’s warrants, and the registration rights as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, these derivative liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as they remain classified as liabilities. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

A gain on the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities of $2,648,668 was recognized during the three and six months ended April 30, 2006.

The 2006 Debentures are summarized below as of April 30, 2006:

2005 Debentures (Restated)

On May 26, 2005, the Company completed a private placement to certain individual and institutional investors of $3,500,000 in principal amount of its three-year 7% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “2005 Debentures”). All principal is due and payable on May 26, 2008. The 2005 Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (x) 70% of the 5 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to conversion or (y) if the Company entered into certain financing transactions subsequent to the closing date, the lowest purchase price or conversion price applicable to that transaction.

In connection with the issuance of the 2005 Debentures, the Company issued to the purchasers thereof warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase 33,936,650 shares of common stock valued at $2,000,000 on the issuance date, with warrants for 11,312,220 shares being exercisable through the last day of the month in which the first anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs (August 31, 2006) at a per share exercise price of $0.1547 and warrants for 22,624,430 shares being exercisable through the last day of the month in which the third anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs (August 31, 2008) at a per share exercise price of $0.3094.
 
In connection with the issuance of the 2005 Debentures, the Company also issued to a placement agent warrants to purchase up to 5,656,108 shares of Common Stock (the “Compensation Warrants”) valued at $319,066 on the issuance date. This amount was recorded as a deferred financing cost and is being charged to interest expense over the term of the 2005 Debentures. Warrants to purchase up to 2,262,443 shares are exercisable through the last day of the month in which the third anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs (August 31, 2008) at a per share exercise price of $0.3094. Warrants to purchase up to 2,262,443 shares are exercisable through the last day of the month in which the third anniversary of the closing occurs (May 31, 2008) at a per share exercise price of $0.1547. Warrants to purchase up to 1,131,222 shares are exercisable through the last day of the month in which the first anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs (August 31, 2006) at a per share exercise price of $0.1547. The Compensation Warrants are otherwise exercisable on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Investor Warrants.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)

2005 Debentures (Restated) (Continued)
 
The gross proceeds of $3,500,000 are recorded as a liability net of a debt discount of $3,500,000. The debt discount consisted of a $2,000,000 value related to the Investor Warrants and a $1,500,000 value related to the embedded conversion feature in accordance with EITF issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock.” Due to certain factors, including an uncapped liquidated damages provision in the registration rights agreement and an indeterminate amount of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debentures, the Company separately values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature related to the 2005 Debentures, the Investors’ Warrants, the Compensation Warrants, and the registration rights as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, these derivative liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as they remain classified as liabilities. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Due to various factors, including substantial conversions of the 2005 Debentures and the registration statement becoming effective on August 1, 2005, the value of the registration rights was deemed to be de minimus.

As of April 30, 2006, the conversion option liability of $1,500,000 had been reduced to $17,384 as a result of conversions of the 2005 Debentures. An aggregate of $1,482,616 has been reflected as a reclassification to stockholders’ equity since the issuance of the 2005 Debentures.

During the three months ended April 30, 2006, upon the exercise, by holders of the Investor and Compensation Warrants, of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,370,624 shares, the Company reassessed the classification of the exercised warrants and reclassified the fair value of the exercised warrants of $1,100,639 from current liabilities to stockholders’ equity.

A loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $3,109,068 and $3,133,206 was recognized during the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively.

On February 21, 2006, the Company and certain holders of Investor and Compensation Warrants entered into an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) to the terms of their warrants.

Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, the Company and certain holders of the Investor and Compensation Warrants agreed to temporarily reduce the exercise price of the Investor and Compensation Warrants to $0.05 per share from February 21, 2006 until March 10, 2006 (the “New Price Exercise Period”). The warrant holders that are parties to the Warrant Amendment were permitted, but not required to, exercise all or any portion of their Investor and Compensation Warrants at a per share price of $0.05 at any time during the New Price Exercise Period, but could not do so by means of a cashless exercise. This reduction in the exercise price of the Investor and Compensation Warrants expired on March 10, 2006. During the New Price Exercise Period, holders of the Investor and Compensation Warrants exercised warrants to purchase 11,370,624 shares of common stock at the reduced exercise price of $0.05 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $568,531.

Any shares of common stock issued with any exercise of an Investor or Compensation Warrant to a holder of an Investor or Compensation Warrant who or which executed the Warrant Amendment, whether during the New Price Exercise Period (on the terms contemplated in the Warrant Amendment) or thereafter (on the original terms provided in the Investor and Compensation Warrants) were or will be in restricted common stock, but shall have the registration rights provided in the Warrant Amendment. Except as expressly provided in the Warrant Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Investor and Compensation Warrants and any related registration rights agreement shall be unchanged and remain in full force and effect. In addition, the warrant holders agreed to waive any claims arising out of or relating to the failure, if any, to have available registered Warrant Shares, as defined in the Investor and Compensation Warrants, prior to the New Required Effective Date (as defined below).

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)

2005 Debentures (Restated) (Continued)
The Company agreed to include the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of each Investor or Compensation Warrant (whether or not pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Amendment) in a registration statement to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) no later than the earlier of the date the Company files its next registration statement with the SEC (other than on Form S-8 or S-4) for the sale of shares by the Company or other selling stockholders, or May 1, 2006. The term “New Required Effective Date” means the date which is the later of 120 days from the expiration of the New Price Exercise Period, or sixty days after the filing of such registration statement; provided, however, that in no event shall such date be later than the required effective date contemplated by the terms of any new transaction consummated by the Company after February 21, 2006, where the shares of common stock issued or issuable to the investors in such transaction are included in a registration statement that is required to be made effective by a stated date. The common stock underlying the Investor and Compensation Warrants were included in the registration statement filed on April 24, 2006.

To secure the Company’s obligations under the 2005 Debentures, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets, including without limitation, its intellectual property, in favor of the investors under the terms and conditions of a Security Interest Agreement dated as of the date of the 2005 Debentures. The security interest terminates upon the earlier of (i) the date on which less than one-third of the original principal amount of the 2005 Debentures issued on the closing date are outstanding or (ii) payment or satisfaction of all of the Company’s obligations under the loan agreement. In January 2006, condition (i) was met and the security interest terminated.

A registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2005 Debentures, the Investor Warrants and the Compensation Warrants referred to above was declared effective by the SEC on August 1, 2005.

During the three months ended January 31, 2006, $1,310,724 of principal amount of 2005 Debentures plus accrued interest of $69,777 were converted into 81,262,199 shares of common stock. During the three months ended April 30, 2006, $464,423 of principal amount of the 2005 Debentures plus accrued interest of $2,401 were converted into 22,908,266 shares of common stock.

Included in interest expense for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 is $361,783 and $1,525,943, respectively, related to the amortization of the debt discount on these debentures.

During the six months ended April 30, 2006, no principal or accrued interest was converted into shares of common stock. During the three months ended January 31, 2005, $199,450 of principal amount plus accrued interest of $12,264 were converted into 1,411,428 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.15. During the three months ended April 30, 2005, $383,050 of principal amount plus accrued interest of $28,212 were converted into 2,741,747 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.15.

NOTE 9 - NOTES PAYABLE

The Company does not currently have any outstanding notes payable. During the six months ended April 30, 2006, the Company recognized losses as a result of the conversion of several notes payable into common stock and also repaid several notes payable, as further described below.

In February 2006, the Company issued 5,304,253 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for the return and cancellation of the outstanding principal of $256,886 and interest of $114,412 on five, unsecured individual notes payable, each with identical terms and bearing 6% interest.  As the conversion rate of $0.07 was below the closing price of the common stock on the conversion date, a loss of $196,257 was recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2006.

Outstanding principal of $39,973 and interest of $110,027 was paid in June 2005 on an unsecured note payable bearing 10% interest from the proceeds of the private placement of the 2005 Debentures. In February 2006, the Company issued 6,760,241 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for the return and cancellation of the outstanding principal of $443,251 and interest of $29,766 on this note. As the conversion rate of $0.07 was below the closing price of the common stock on the conversion date, a loss of $250,129 was recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2006.

On March 26, 2004, the Company entered into a loan agreement, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $12,000 from the lender. In April 2006, the outstanding principal of $12,000 and interest of $1,217 were repaid.

In April 2005, the Company issued a promissory note in connection with the cancellation of the Redeemable Series B Preferred Stock which bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum. In December 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to repay a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the promissory note with the remaining principal balance and accrued interest being forgiven. See Note 6 for further details.

In December 2005 and January 2006, the Company entered into loan agreements with a third party pursuant to which the Company borrowed $750,000 from the lender. An amount equal to 108% of the principal amount ($810,000) of the loans is due and payable on the earlier of May 25, 2006 or the date the Company effects a financing transaction or series of transactions resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $2,000,000. The difference between the gross proceeds and amount due at maturity is shown as a discount that is amortized as interest expense over the life of the loans. The Company issued to the lender warrants to purchase 7,500,000 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $120,000 and was shown as a debt discount and amortized as interest expense over the life of the loans. In connection with the loans, the Company granted a security interest in all of its assets. The Company received net proceeds of $672,470 following the payment of due diligence fees and transaction fees and transaction related fees and expenses. These transaction related fees were recorded as deferred financing costs. For the three months ended January 31, 2006, amortization of debt discount on this loan was $10,413. In March 2006, 108% of the principal amount ($810,000) was repaid and the security interest was released. All unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs were written off during the three months ended April 30, 2006 in connection with the repayment of the loan.

Stock Option Plans

On November 1, 2005, the Company early adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to the Company’s employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values.

Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company continued to estimate the value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions noted in the table below. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the value of each stock option was also estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model for the purpose of the pro-forma financial information in accordance with SFAS 123.

The Company used its historical stock price volatility in accordance with SFAS 123(R) and SAB 107. The selection of the historical volatility approach was based upon the lack of availability of actively traded options on the Company’s stock and the Company’s assessment that historical volatility is representative of future stock price trends.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the Company’s stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life of stock options represents the Company’s historical experience with regards to the exercise behavior of its option holders and the contractual term of the options.

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro-forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

We urge you to read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A reflects a restatement of the Company's previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended April 30, 2006, as discussed below and in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our prospects are subject to uncertainties and risks. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, we make forward-looking statements in this Item 2 and elsewhere that also involve substantial uncertainties and risks. These forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and our industry, and that reflect our beliefs and assumptions based upon information available to us at the date of this report. In some cases, you can identify these statements by words such as “if,” “may,” “might,” “will, “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and other similar terms. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, projections of our future financial performance and our anticipated growth, descriptions of our strategies, our product and market development plans, the trends we anticipate in our business and the markets in which we operate, and the competitive nature and anticipated growth of those markets.

We caution readers that forward-looking statements are predictions based on our current expectations about future events. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to the risks and uncertainties discussed in our other filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason.

RESTATEMENT

On July 6, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultations by management and the Audit Committee with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the classification of warrants issued in connection with the 2005 and 2006 convertible debentures was not in accordance with interpretations of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To and Potentially Settled In, a Company’s Own Stock.”  Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended April 30, 2006, as filed on June 14, 2006 (the “April 2006 10-QSB”) have been restated to correct the accounting for the warrants as derivative liabilities.  The previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements included in the April 2006 10-QSB should not be relied upon.  As a result of this restatement, $10,419,140 included in stockholders' equity at April 30, 2006 should have been recorded as a derivative liability and the Company should have recorded additional interest expense of $5,673,953 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006. This expense was principally related to the amount ($5,608,156) by which the fair value on April 30, 2006 of warrants issued to purchasers of debentures sold by the Company in March 2006 exceeded the debt discount allocated to such warrants. See Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company should have recorded losses of $460,400 and $484,538, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2006, on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The treatment of this non-cash accounting item results in an increase in the Company’s net loss for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 as follows:

OVERVIEW
 
We are developing advanced transmission technology products to enable data to be transmitted across copper telephone wire at speeds and over distances that exceed those offered by leading DSL technology providers. Our first chipset in a planned family of transport processors, the Embarq(TM) E30 (Release 1.3) digital signal processor, was first made available to prospective customers for evaluation and testing in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We are presently working on Release 1.4 of the E30 and Release 1.1 of the Embarq(TM) E20 analog front end. Our products are designed to substantially increase the capacity of existing copper telephone networks, allowing telephone companies, office building managers, and enterprise network operators to provide enhanced and secure video, data and voice services over the existing copper telecommunications infrastructure.

We expect that system-level products that use our technology will have a significant advantage over existing system-level products that use existing broadband technologies, such as digital subscriber line (DSL), because such products will transmit data faster, and over longer distances. We expect products using our technology will offer numerous advantages to the network operators that deploy them, including the ability to support new services, the ability to offer existing and new services to previously unreachable locations in their network, reduction in total cost of ownership, security and reliability.

Our semiconductor business segment is dependent upon our ability to generate future revenues and positive cash flow from our advanced transmission technology products, such as the E30 and E20. No assurance can be provided that our target customers will purchase these products in large volumes, or at all.

In April 2000, our NV Entertainment subsidiary entered into a joint venture production agreement to produce a feature length film, “Step into Liquid” (the “Film”). We own a 50% interest in the joint venture. The financial condition and results of operations of the joint venture are consolidated with our financial condition and results of operations on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Film was released to theaters in the United States in 2003 and is currently in foreign and DVD distribution. During the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, we received revenues of $18,698 and $58,874, respectively, from the Film. During the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005, we received revenues of $7,397 and $16,198, respectively. As a result of impairment reviews during the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, we reduced the carrying value of the Film to $0 on our balance sheet. We do not intend to make further investment in our entertainment business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are based on historical experience, other information that is currently available to us and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and the variances could be material.

Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our condensed consolidated financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. We have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Convertible Debentures

Proceeds of the 2006 and 2005 Debentures are recorded as a liability net of a debt discount consisting of the fair values attributed to the related warrants and to the embedded conversion features. In accordance with EITF issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock,” due to certain factors, including an uncapped liquidated damages provision in the registration rights agreement and an indeterminate amount of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debentures, the Company separately values and accounts for the embedded conversion features, related warrants, and registration rights as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, these derivative liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as they remain classified as liabilities. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

Stock-Based Compensation

On November 1, 2005, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes our previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning on November 1, 2005. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R).

We early adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, as of November 1, 2005, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended April 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, our condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2006 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro-forma provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to October 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). We have continued to attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense on the straight-line single option method.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) related to employee stock options was $378,802 and $447,839 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. Stock based-compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro-forma provisions of SFAS 123 was $0 and $247,057 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for non-employees under other accounting standards was $292,766 and $315,674 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options under other accounting standards was $20,915 and $20,915 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005, respectively. Stock based-compensation expense recognized for non-employees under other accounting standards was $135,967 and $415,515 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005, respectively.

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In our pro-forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

Revenue Recognition

We will recognize revenue from the sale of our semiconductor products when evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is determinable or fixed, legal title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of our products to our customers, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. To date we have not recognized any revenues related to the sale of our semiconductor products.

We recognize revenue from the distribution of our Film and related products when earned and reasonably estimable in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2 -- “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” (SOP 00-2). The following are the conditions that must be met in order to recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 00-2:

(i)
persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists;
 
 
(ii)
the film is complete and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery;
 
 
(iii)
the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale;
 
 
(iv)
the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and
 
 
(v)
collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.

Under a rights agreement with our distributor for our Film, we share with the distributor in the profits of the Film after the distributor recovers its marketing, distribution and other predefined costs and fees. The agreement provides for the payment of minimum guaranteed license fees, usually payable on delivery of the completed film, that are subject to further increase based on the actual distribution results.

In accordance with the provisions of SOP 00-2, a film is classified as a library title after three years from the film’s initial release. The term library title is used solely for the purpose of classification and for identifying previously released films in accordance with the provisions of SOP 00-2. Revenue recognition for such titles is in accordance with our revenue recognition policy for film revenue.

Film in Distribution

SOP 00-2 requires that film costs be capitalized and reported as a separate asset on the balance sheet. Film costs include all direct negative costs incurred in the production of a film, as well as allocations of production overhead and capitalized interest. Direct negative costs include cost of scenario, story, compensation of cast, directors, producers, writers, extras and staff, cost of set construction, wardrobe, accessories, sound synchronization, rental of facilities on location and post production costs. SOP 00-2 also requires that film costs be amortized and participation costs accrued, using the individual-film-forecast-computation method, which amortizes or accrues such costs in the same ratio that the current period actual revenue (numerator) bears to the estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the fiscal year (denominator). We make certain estimates and judgments of future gross revenue to be received for the Film based on information received by its distributor, historical results and management’s knowledge of the industry. Revenue and cost
 
 
32

 
forecasts are continually reviewed by management and revised when warranted by changing conditions. A change to the estimate of gross revenues for the Film may result in an increase or decrease to the percentage of amortization of capitalized film costs relative to a previous period.

In addition, SOP 00-2 also requires that if an event or change in circumstances indicates that an entity should assess whether the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized film costs, then an entity should determine the fair value of the film and write-off to the statement of operations the amount by which the unamortized film costs exceeds the film’s fair value. As a result of impairment reviews during the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, we wrote down the carrying value attributed to the Film to $0.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Capitalization of computer software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility for our computer software is generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high-risk development issues and the completion of research and development on the product hardware in which it is to be used. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technology.

Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs commences when the related products become available for general release to customers. Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis. The annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product, or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The estimated useful life of our existing product is seven years.

We periodically perform reviews of the recoverability of our capitalized software development costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, the capitalized costs of each software product is then valued at the lower of its remaining unamortized costs or net realizable value.

No assurance can be given that products we release based upon the licensed technology will receive market acceptance. If we determine in the future that our capitalized costs are not recoverable, the carrying amount of the technology license would be reduced, and such reduction could be material.

We commenced amortization of capitalized software development costs during December 2005 and have recorded amortization expense of $212,536 and $315,232 during the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses relate to the design and development of advanced transmission technology products. We outsource to independent third parties all of our design and development activities. Payments made to independent software developers under development agreements are capitalized to software development costs once technological feasibility is established or if the development costs have an alternative future use. Prior to establishing technological feasibility, software development costs are expensed to research and development costs and to cost of sales subsequent to confirmation of technological feasibility. Internal development costs are capitalized to software development costs once technological feasibility is established. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis.

Research and development expenses generally consist of salaries, related expenses for engineering personnel and third-party development costs incurred.

Technology Licenses

We have entered into two technology license agreements that may impact our future results of operations. Royalty payments, if any, under each license would be reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of sales.

In April, 2002, we entered into a development and license agreement with Adaptive Networks, Inc. (“Adaptive”), to acquire a worldwide, perpetual license to Adaptive’s PowerstreamTM technology, intellectual property and patent portfolio. The licensed PowerstreamTM technology provides the core technology for our semiconductor products. We have also jointly developed technology with Adaptive that enhances the licensed technology.

In consideration of the development services provided and the licenses granted to us by Adaptive, we paid Adaptive an aggregate of $5,571,000 between 2002 and 2004 consisting of cash and our assumption of certain Adaptive liabilities. In addition to the above payments, Adaptive is entitled to a percentage of any net sales of products sold by us and any license revenue we receive from the licensed and co-owned technologies less the first $5,000,000 that would otherwise be payable to them under this royalty arrangement.

In February 2006, we obtained a license to include HelloSoft, Inc.’s integrated VoIP software suite in the EmbarqTM E30 semiconductor. We believe the inclusion of VoIP features in our products will eliminate VoIP dedicated components currently needed in modems and thereby lower their production costs by more than 20%. In consideration of this license, we have paid HelloSoft a license fee and will pay certain royalties based on our sale of products, including the licensed technology.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2006 AND THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005

REVENUES.   Revenues for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 were $18,698 and $58,874, respectively. Of this amount, $698 and $6,932 was in the form of guarantee and/or license payments related to the U.S. distribution of the Film and $18,000 and $51,942 was related to foreign distribution of the Film during the three months ended and six months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. Revenues for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005 were $7,397 and $16,198, respectively and were from our entertainment business. Revenues increased 153% or $11,301 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 263% or $42,676 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 due primarily to an increase in the number and value of license agreements for distribution of the Film or portions of the Film in foreign markets. No revenues were recorded in connection with our semiconductor business during the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005.

OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses included cost of sales, amortization of technology license and capitalized software development fee, research and development expenses in connection with the semiconductor business, and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Total operating expenses increased 85% or $834,385 to $1,814,093 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 from $979,708 for the three months ended April 30, 2005. The increase in total operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2006 was due primarily to increases in amortization of technology license and capitalized software development fee of $212,536, research and development expenses of $52,556, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $574,613, offset by a decrease in cost of sales of $5,320.  Total operating expenses increased 77% or $1,218,572 to $2,808,904 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 from $1,590,332 for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The increase in total operating expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2006 was due primarily to increases in amortization of technology license and capitalized software development fee of $315,232, research and development expenses of $130,547, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $784,738, offset by a decrease in cost of sales of $11,945.

Cost of sales for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005 were $5,320 and $11,945, respectively. The cost of sales represents the amortization of film cost for the Film. The decrease for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 was a result of the impairment of the Film costs in 2005 which reduced the carrying value of the Film costs to $0.
 
 
34
 
 
Amortization of technology license and capitalized software development fee was $212,536 and $315,232 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 due to the commencement of amortization related to the market release of the E30 (Release 1.3) to prospective customers for evaluation and testing during December 2005. No amortization was recorded prior to this period.

Research and development expenses increased by $52,556 to for the three months ended April 30, 2006 from $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2005. Research and development expenses increased 1,851% or $130,547 to $137,600 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 from $7,053 for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The increase is principally the result of additional payments made to HelloSoft, Inc. (“HelloSoft”) in accordance with the terms of our services agreement, as amended, and the issuance of stock options in connection with research and development activities.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased 59% or $574,613 to $1,549,001 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 from $974,388 for the three months ended April 30, 2005. Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased 50% or $784,738 to $2,356,072 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 from $1,571,334 for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The increases are primarily the result of an increase in salaries and wages due to an increase in employees, professional fees related to the filing of a registration statement in April 2006, and stock-based compensation related to options and restricted common stock issued to key employees, directors, consultants, and service providers.

OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSES.  Other expenses included interest expense, a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, amortization of deferred financing costs, and a loss on exchange of notes payable into common stock.

Total Other (Income) Expenses increased 2,665% or $7,596,417 to $7,881,451 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 from $285,034 for the three months ended April 30, 2005. Total Other (Income) Expenses increased 1,298% or $7,636,257 to $8,224,692 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 from $588,435 for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The increases are primarily for the reasons noted below.

Interest expense increased 1,744% or $6,291,949 to $6,652,813 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 from $360,864 for the three months ended April 30, 2005. Interest expense increased 1,135% or $7,258,123 to $7,897,769 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 from $639,646 for the three months ended April 30, 2005. The increases are primarily due to the value allocated to the warrants related to the 2006 Debentures, interest on the 2006 Debentures, and the amortization and write-off of debt discount due to conversions of the convertible debentures and repayment of a note payable.

We recorded a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $460,400 and $484,538 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006. There were no derivative liabilities outstanding during the three months and six months ended April 30, 2005.

The amortization of deferred financing costs increased 1,040% or $296,362 to $324,852 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 from $28,490 for the three months ended April 30, 2005. The amortization of deferred financing costs increased 971% or $515,710 to $568,819 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 from $53,109 for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The increase is primarily a result of the conversions of the 2005 Debentures, repayment of a note payable, and the amortization of additional deferred financing costs related to the 2006 Debentures. Upon conversion or repayment of debt prior to its maturity date, a pro-rata share of debt discount and deferred financing costs are written off and recorded as expense.

Other expenses also increased in the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 due to the loss recognized on exchange of notes payable into common stock of $446,386.

Other income in the six months ended April 30, 2006 consisted primarily of a gain on forgiveness of principal and interest on a promissory note (the “Zaiq Note”) to Zaiq Technologies, Inc. (“Zaiq”) of $1,169,820. The Zaiq Note was entered into in April 2005, had an original principal amount of $2,392,000 and was originally due and payable in April 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal amount of the note decreased by $797,333.33 on each of the six and 12 month anniversaries of the note. In December 2005, when we would not have otherwise been required to make a payment under the Zaiq Note, we entered into a letter agreement with Zaiq pursuant to which we agreed to repurchase from Zaiq for $200,000
 
 
35

 
the remaining balance of the Zaiq Note and 5,180,474 shares of our common stock held of record by Zaiq. We had the right to assign any or all of our purchase commitment under the letter agreement. We assigned to an unaffiliated third party that had been a prior investor in the Company the right to purchase 4,680,620 of the Zaiq shares. On December 20, 2005, we purchased the Zaiq Note and 499,854 shares of our common stock held by Zaiq for an aggregate purchase price of $129,789. The Zaiq shares we repurchased have been accounted for as treasury stock, carried at cost, and reflected as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. The remaining principal and accrued interest of $1,292,111 on the Zaiq Note was canceled resulting in a gain of $1,169,820.

Other income in the six months ended April 30, 2005 consisted primarily of a gain on sale of property and equipment of $20,000, a gain on exchange of Redeemable Series B Preferred Stock into common stock of $55,814, and other miscellaneous gains of $28,506.

NET LOSS.   For the three months ended April 30, 2006 our net loss increased 670% or $8,419,501 to $9,676,846 from $1,257,345 as the result of higher interest costs, a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, higher amortization of deferred financing costs, higher selling, general, and administrative expense, and higher research and development expenses, partially offset by an increase in revenues and the gain on the forgiveness of principal and interest on the promissory note to Zaiq Technologies, Inc. discussed above. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the net loss increased 407% or $8,812,153 to $10,974,722 from $2,162,569 for primarily the same reasons noted above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash balances totaled $3,406,914 at June 12, 2006 and $4,007,470 as of April 30, 2006 compared to $373,481 at October 31, 2005.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,350,482 for the six months ended April 30, 2006, compared to $816,866 for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The increase in cash used in operations was principally the result of the following items:

 
·
an increase in the net loss, which was $10,974,722, compared with $2,162,569 for the six months ended April 30, 2005; and
 
 
 
 
·
an increase for the six months ended April 30, 2006 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $199,687, compared to a decrease of accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the six months ended April 30, 2005 of $22,329, resulting in a net decrease in cash used of $177,358;
 
impacted by the following non-cash items:

 
·
interest expense related to fair value of Investors’ warrants at issuance in excess of debt discount of $5,608,156 during the six months ended April 30, 2006;
 
 
 
 
·
loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $484,538 during the six months ended April 30, 2006 relating to warrants issued in connection with the 2005 and 2006 debentures;
 
 
 
 
·
increased amortization of deferred financing costs, which were $568,819 for the six months ended April 30, 2006, compared to $53,109 for the six months ended April 30, 2005, principally due to increased conversions of the May 2005 debentures, the repayment of a note payable, and the amortization of additional deferred financing costs related to the 2006 Debentures;
 
 
 
 
·
increased amortization of debt discount on notes, which was $2,168,904 for the six months ended April 30, 2006, compared to $520,169 for the six months ended April 30, 2005, principally due to increased conversions of the May 2005 Debentures, the repayment of a note payable, and the amortization of additional debt discount related to the 2006 Debentures;
 
 
 
 
·
increased amortization of technology license and capitalized software development fee, which was $315,232 for the six months ended April 30, 2006, compared to $0 for the six months ended April 30, 2005, due to the commencement of amortization related to the market release of the E30 (Release 1.3) to prospective customers for evaluation and testing;
 
 
36
 
 
 
 
 
 
·
gain on forgiveness of principal and interest on the promissory note to Zaiq Technologies, Inc. of $1,169,820 during the six months ended April 30, 2006;
 
 
 
 
·
increased stock-based compensation expense, which was $1,010,570 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 compared to $888,930 for the six months ended April 30, 2005; and
 
 
 
 
·
loss on exchange of notes payable into common stock of $446,386 during the six months ended April 30, 2006.
 
 
 

Net cash used by investing activities was $204,499 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 compared to $0 in the six months ended April 30, 2005. The increase was due to the acquisition of property and equipment of $4,499 and a technology license and development fee of $200,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,188,970 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 compared to $1,041,466 for the six months ended April 30, 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2006 was the result of proceeds from the 2006 Debentures of $6,000,000, proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $568,531, and proceeds from the issuance of a note payable of $750,000, offset by capitalized financing costs of $742,450, and total payments of $1,379,613 in connection with the repayment of notes payable of $944,291 and convertible notes payable of $435,322. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2005 was the result of proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the amount of $800,100 and proceeds from notes payable of $300,000, offset by capitalized financing costs of $33,029, and repayments of convertible notes payable of $25,625.

Our liquidity improved significantly as a result of a series of transactions completed during the six months ended April 30, 2006.

First, as described in Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we raised gross proceeds of $6.0 million in March 2006 from the private placement to 17 institutional and individual investors of our 2006 Debentures. We received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million from the proceeds of the 2006 Debentures, after the payment of offering related fees and expenses and after the repayment in full of notes payable, made in December 2005 and January 2006, in the aggregate amount of $810,000.

Second, we received $568,531 from the exercise of warrants to purchase 11,370,624 shares of our common stock.

Third, we reduced our current liabilities by $844,315 by issuing 12,064,494 shares of common stock to several holders of notes payable.

These transactions increased our working capital by over $5.9 million upon their completion during the six months ended April 30, 2006.

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of our common stock and debt securities. Our recent financings are discussed below.

In December 2005 and January 2006, we entered into secured bridge loan agreements with a third party pursuant to which we borrowed $750,000. After payment of due diligence fees and transaction related fees and expenses, we received net proceeds of $672,470. An amount equal to 108% of the principal amount of the loans was due and payable on the earlier of May 25, 2006 or the date we effect a financing transaction or series of transactions resulting in gross proceeds to us of at least $2,000,000. We repaid the loans in their entirety from the proceeds of the 2006 Debentures.

In May 2005, we sold $3,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 2005 Debentures, receiving net proceeds of approximately $3.11 million after the payment of offering related costs. As of April 30, 2006, $3,459,436 of principal amount and $108,509 of interest of the 2005 Debentures had been converted into 170,376,861 shares of our common stock and there was $40,564 of principal amount of the 2005 Debentures outstanding. The 2005 Debentures mature in May 2008.
 
 
37

 
In December 2003, April 2004 and May 2004, we raised net proceeds of approximately $1,024,000 from the private placement to certain private and institutional investors of our three year 7% Convertible Debentures. $125,000 of principal issued in December 2003 was outstanding as of June 12, 2006 and matures in December 2006.

As of July 5, 2006, we had cash balances of $3,133,214. As of the date of this Report, our expenses total approximately $210,000 per month. Although management believes funds on hand will enable us to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 15 months, we will need to raise additional funds to fulfill our business plan and to meet our future operating requirements, prior to the receipt of revenues from our semiconductor business.

We may not be successful in our efforts to raise additional funds. Our cash needs could be heavier than anticipated in which case we could be forced to raise additional capital. Even after we begin to sell our products, we do not yet know what payment terms will be required by our customers or if our products will be successful. At the present time, we have no commitments for any additional financing, and there can be no assurance that, if needed, additional capital will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

Additional equity financings are likely to be dilutive to existing holders of our Common Stock and debt financing, if available, may involve significant payment obligations and covenants that restrict how we operate our business.

Going Concern Consideration

We have continued losses in each of our years of operation and negative cash flow, and have had liquidity problems. Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report accompanying our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. This qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital when needed. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of reported assets or liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We have been able to continue based upon our receipt of funds from the issuance of equity securities and borrowings, and by acquiring assets or paying expenses by issuing stock. Although our liquidity improved significantly as a result of a series of transactions completed during the six months ended April 30, 2006 and Management believes funds on hand will enable us to meet our liquidity needs through at least September 30, 2007, our continued existence beyond that date may be dependent upon our continued ability to raise funds through the issuance of securities or borrowings, and our ability to acquire assets or satisfy liabilities by the issuance of stock. Management’s plans in this regard are to obtain other debt and equity financing until profitable operation and positive cash flow are achieved and maintained.
 
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2005, the FASB published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting principles. Pursuant to the new rules, all such changes must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 completely replaces Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 20 and SFAS 3, though it carries forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect to accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity, and the correction of errors. The requirements in SFAS 154 are effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We will apply these requirements to any accounting changes after the implementation date.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a tentative conclusion on EITF Issue No. 05-1, “Accounting for the Conversion of an Instrument That Becomes Convertible upon the Issuer’s Exercise of a Call Option” that no gain or loss should be recognized upon the conversion of an instrument that becomes convertible as a result of an issuer’s exercise of a call option pursuant to the original terms of the instrument. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, “The Meaning of ‘Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument’ in EITF Issue No. 00-19, ‘Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock’” (“EITF No. 05-2”), which addresses when a convertible debt instrument should be considered “conventional” for the purpose of applying the guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF No. 00-19 for
 
 
38

 
conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if the instrument’s economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity. EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. We have applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-2 since the required implementation date. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

EITF Issue No. 05-4 “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 05-4”) addresses financial instruments, such as stock purchase warrants, which are accounted for under EITF No. 00-19 that may be issued at the same time and in contemplation of a registration rights agreement that includes a liquidated damages clause. The consensus of EITF No. 05-4 has not been finalized. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related Issues” (“EITF No. 05-7”), which addresses whether a modification to a conversion option that changes its fair value affects the recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument after the modification and whether a borrower should recognize a beneficial conversion feature, not a debt extinguishment, if a debt modification increases the intrinsic value of the debt (for example, the modification reduces the conversion price of the debt). EITF No. 05-7 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted EITF No. 05-7 as of the beginning of our interim reporting period that began on February 1, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In September 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-8, “Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature” (“EITF No. 05-8”), which addresses the treatment of convertible debt issued with a beneficial conversion feature as a temporary difference under the guidance in SFAS 109. In addition, deferred taxes recognized for a temporary difference of debt with a beneficial conversion feature should be recognized as an adjustment of additional paid-in capital. Entities should apply the guidance in EITF No. 05-8 in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Its provisions should be applied retrospectively under the guidance in SFAS 154 to all convertible debt instruments with a beneficial conversion feature accounted for under the guidance in EITF No. 00-27 “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 ‘Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios.’” We have applied the requirements of EITF No. 05-8 to all previously existing convertible debt instruments with a beneficial conversion feature and will apply the requirements of EITF No. 05-8 for all new convertible debt instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. The adoption of this pronouncement for new convertible debt instruments with a beneficial conversion feature is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The requirements in SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.   The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of this report. As described in Part I, Item 2 above under the heading, "RESTATEMENT," the Company's
 
 
39
 
 
Board concluded that the classification of warrants issued by the Company in connection with the 2005 and 2006 convertible debentures was not in accordance with the interpretations of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To and Potentially Settled In, a Company's Own Stock." Accordingly, the Board has authorized the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements at and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005 and at and for the periods ended July 31, 2005, January 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006. Because the above was not prevented by the Company's then-existing disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded based upon his evaluation that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The Company believes that, as a result of its consultations with counsel, the Company's outside auditors, and other accounting professionals, it has improved its disclosure controls and procedures in the area of financial reporting of complex equity transactions such as the convertible debentures and accompanying warrants.

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a significant deficiency in the internal controls. In the past, management had decided that considering the employees involved, the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation were low and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties did not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management periodically reevaluates this situation. In light of the Company’s receipt of additional financing in March 2006, it is the Company’s intention over the next six months to increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. Except as described above, during the three months ended April 30, 2006, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.
