PART I
Item 1. Business
About XATA
We are one of the leading providers of fleet management solutions to the truck transportation industry. Our innovative technologies and value-added services are intended to enable customers to optimize the utilization of their assets and enhance the productivity of fleet operations across the entire supply chain, resulting in decreased costs, improved compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, enhanced customer service and better overall business productivity.
Founded in 1985, XATA has leveraged over 20 years of experience developing solutions for North America’s premier private fleets. That knowledge has resulted in a clear understanding of the features and functions that matter most to drivers and fleet operators.
We were the first company to provide completely paperless electronic logs, exception-based management reporting and learned standards for accurate business intelligence. Our products combine enterprise software, mobile technology, real-time communications and global positioning systems (GPS) to provide an enterprise logistics management solution for private fleet operators.
Our first-generation products, introduced in the early 1990’s, included our revolutionary touch-screen Driver Computer and PC-based Fleet Management System software. Valuable data was downloaded

from Driver Computers to the Fleet Management System host software in batch mode via our patented Driver Key for compliance reporting and analysis.
In 1999, we introduced OpCenter, a Microsoft Windows-based customer-hosted system that can manage multiple operation centers and users over a wide area network. OpCenter continues to be a leading Fleet Management System for Fortune 1000 private trucking fleets.
In 2004, we introduced XATANET, our next-generation Web-based system. Over the past several years we have invested heavily in product development to bring the XATANET system to market, as well as to develop additional software applications for managing trucks and fleet operations. We believe that XATANET enables us to significantly broaden our penetration of the 3.6 million medium and heavy duty vehicle private fleet transportation market.
In 2000, we formed a strategic alliance with John Deere Special Technologies Group, Inc. (“JDSTG”), a subsidiary of Deere & Company, to enable us to accelerate our product development initiatives and more effectively distribute our new products to both new and existing markets. As of November 30, 2007, JDSTG owns approximately 13.4 percent of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis.
From December 2003 through June 2007, Trident Capital (through its affiliated funds) invested approximately $15.1 million in the Company by acquiring shares of Series B, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Trident Capital is now our largest shareholder, holding approximately 37.7 percent of our common stock as of November 30, 2007, on an as if converted and fully diluted basis. The capital provided by Trident Capital has allowed us to continue expanding our product development, distribution and marketing efforts, and provided a strong endorsement of our plans for future growth.
Trucking Industry Background and Trends
Private fleets and for-hire carriers comprise the two major fleet categories within the commercial trucking industry. Private fleets (our current market focus) include manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and other companies who transport their own goods using equipment they own or lease. For-hire carriers include truckload and less-than-truckload carriers whose primary business is the trucking and transportation of freight that belongs to others.
Commercial trucking fleets are characterized by considerable investment in equipment, high operating costs, significant annual mileage per vehicle and extensive federal and state compliance reporting requirements. Costs for equipment, drivers, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and support personnel make the efficient operation of each vehicle an essential and complex part of fleet management. Accordingly, accurate and timely data collection and analysis enables managers of truck fleets to reduce operating costs, utilize assets efficiently and improve delivery times. We believe there is, and will continue to be, significant demand in the trucking industry for fleet management systems, principally because the use of this technology enables fleet operators to reduce expenses, maintain compliance standards and improve customer service.
We believe the following trends continue to impact the private fleet trucking industry, resulting in increasing competitive pressures and demand for mobile information technology:
    Increased operating costs: Driver salaries, fuel, insurance, and other operating costs continue to increase. These trends encourage operators to utilize onboard information systems to control costs and more effectively manage their fleets.
 
    Government regulations: U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) driver log requirements have become more stringent. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), an administration within the DOT, implemented new driver hours-of-service rules in January 2004, tightening driver work rules. These rules were challenged in federal court and the FMSCA issued revised rules effective October 1, 2005. The revised regulations became

2


Table of Contents

      enforceable after a period of transitional compliance on January 1, 2006. The rate of change in the rules is a major obstacle to compliance within the trucking industry.
      The FMCSA is currently evaluating the benefit of Electronic Onboard Recorders (EOBR’s) to increase hours-of-service compliance, and in turn, highway safety. We believe computer generated driver logs may eventually be mandated by federal or state governments.
 
      Additionally, states require trucks to pay state fuel taxes based on the amount of fuel consumed in their state. To comply with these regulations, drivers must record state border crossing and fuel purchase information. Many long haul vehicles cross up to 25 state borders per week, resulting in significant paperwork for the driver, the clerical staff of the carrier and the processor of the carrier’s fuel tax returns. In order to comply with these requirements, records must be maintained at the fleet home base as well as at the carrier’s headquarters. Records must also be readily available for federal regulators to review fuel tax compliance. Our systems are designed to automate compliance with each of these regulatory requirements.
 
    New technologies: Historically, affordability, simplicity and acceptance of new wireless communications and internet technologies have proven to be barriers for customers to purchase our solutions. New technologies are helping to diminish these barriers.
 
    Safety and security concerns: Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, public authorities and fleet operators have become more acutely interested in technology solutions to increase the safety and security of their drivers and cargo. This is especially true for companies transporting petroleum products and other hazardous loads.
 
    Mobile technology: As companies increasingly rely on just-in-time inventory management and seek to control and monitor inventories throughout their entire supply chain, they demand better service and increased capabilities from their trucking operators and vendors. In addition, as companies increasingly adopt mobile technologies, including the internet, to reduce communication costs, paperwork and processing times, trucking operators are adopting technology to comply with the operating processes and systems of their customers. This trend encourages integration of mobile technology with the host information systems of trucking fleet operators.
Our Products and Services
XATA provides a powerful, advanced, yet user-friendly, software as a service (SaaS) system called XATANET used by manufacturing, distribution, petroleum and other operators of trucking fleets to reduce fuel costs, increase operational efficiencies, enhance customer service and improve safety and compliance.
As a SaaS system, XATANET software application delivery model is hosted and operates for use by its customers over the Internet. Customers do not pay for owning the software itself but rather for using it with a recurring revenue charge. The benefits of XATA’s SaaS delivery model is the decrease in customers’ in-house IT hardware and software resources, faster implementation time compared to on-site products, automatic upgrades to the most current software levels and access with an internet browser anywhere, anytime.
Through its web-based design, XATANET performs the following functions to enable fleet operators to control costs and maximize vehicle and driver performance:
    Automation of DOT driver log requirements and state fuel tax reporting.
 
    Comprehensive vehicle and driver performance reporting.
 
    Real-time asset tracking, route management, trip optimization and stop activity

    Diagnostic and accident data capture.
XATANET Fleet Management System
XATANET integrates mobile technology, driver displays and cost-effective communications with a suite of powerful, Web-based applications delivered on-demand via the Internet. XATANET combines the data generated within the truck as well as data received via GPS (Global Positioning System) into a Web-based user interface, enabling fleet managers to measure fleet performance, resolve exception conditions, monitor ongoing operations and perform detailed analysis.
XATANET is ideal for organizations that seek to eliminate the startup costs and lengthy implementation times typically associated with fleet management solutions. XATANET allows fleets of all sizes to install, utilize and pay for only those applications that benefit their organization today, gaining immediate value at a lower cost of entry, while retaining the ability to expand their use as fleet operations evolve.
A XATANET solution is comprised of four primary components as described below:
Mobile Applications
XATA provides a core set of applications that provide for the optimization of fleet operations including electronic driver logs, automated fuel tax, driver and vehicle management. The mobile environment is designed with easy integration with third-party complementary applications such as proof of delivery, navigation, and trailer temperature monitoring.
Onboard Hardware
XATA Application Modules (XAM) – Rugged, mobile computing platforms including GPS and wireless communications hardware that collect, store and intelligently manage data communications. The XAM connects to the engine gathering vehicle and diagnostic information onboard. In conjunction with interactive driver displays, the XAM unifies communication between fleet management, vehicles, and drivers. Using our powerful onboard applications, all of the vehicle information can be delivered immediately to the driver display or reported back to fleet management, based on user defined preferences.
Our latest-generation, multi-mode XATA Application Module utilizes both the Orbcomm satellite and Sprint digital cellular (CDMA 1xRTT) networks in a single unit to provide high-bandwidth, low latency, ubiquitous coverage. Our patent pending XATA MobileSync over-the-air application management instantly makes new features available and reduces the cost of updating software in the vehicle.
Driver Displays
Touch-screen driver displays are mounted in the cab of the truck capturing and communicating fleet performance information. With the ability to monitor fuel economy, estimated time of arrival (ETA), and regulatory compliance drivers can help ensure the fleet reaches optimum performance levels.
The driver interface software is designed to be device independent to allow multiple devices to be used as display options in the cab. These devices could include cell phones, handheld, intelligent displays and laptops. By allowing a multiple displays options, the system allows for the customer to select the most appropriate display for their environment.

Wireless Communications
XATA systems use patented technologies that utilize lowest cost communication methods synchronizing trip and driver data with maximum efficiency. Our multi-mode systems combine CDMA 1xRTT, 802.11b WiFi, and satellite wireless networks to provide “No Gap” coverage and high speed data download. When integrated with optional satellite, digital cellular or 802.11b Wi-Fi wireless communications via our XAM, XATANET provides immediate access to critical onboard information. Its real-time notification is triggered by user-defined onboard conditions, ensuring that only critical information is reported to fleet management. Detecting and processing of exception conditions only improves operating efficiency while minimizing recurring communication charges.
Legacy OpCenter Fleet Management System
XATA’s legacy OpCenter system allows managers to achieve measurable fleet performance and productivity improvements by integrating proven onboard technology into the fleet management process. The OpCenter system consists of a Driver Computer, Driver Key, Data Station and our OpCenter Fleet Management Software hosted and managed by the customer. 
Our OpCenter Fleet Management Software operates in a multi-user, Microsoft Windows environment and can manage multiple fleets over a wide area network. The system collects, validates and processes data recorded by a fleet’s network of Driver Computers and Data Stations. When integrated with optional satellite, digital cellular or 802.11b Wi-Fi wireless communications via our XAM, OpCenter provides immediate access to critical onboard information. Its real-time notification is triggered by user-defined onboard conditions, ensuring that only critical information is reported to fleet management.
With the introduction and widespread adoption of the web-based XATANET on-demand software solution, XATA is no longer selling the OpCenter system to new accounts. Existing OpCenter customers, however, that need to OpCenter-enable additions to their truck fleets may do so.
XATA has implemented an OpCenter-to-XATANET upgrade program for existing OpCenter customers. Through this program, XATA will consult with OpCenter customers to identify opportunities for fleet management improvements through upgrading to XATANET. These consultations include an in-depth look at how the customer utilizes OpCenter and the potential benefits of implementing XATANET.
Target Markets
There are approximately 8.1 million commercial trucks operating in the United States, of which 6.6 million are operated by private fleets and 1.5 million are operated by for-hire carriers. While most of our current customers fall into a portion of the private fleet category, we believe that our new fleet management products will enable us to enter other segments of the commercial trucking industry.
Private Fleets
Private fleets include the commercial trucks operated by manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and other companies who transport their own goods using equipment they own or lease. Historically, the costs associated with purchasing an integrated hardware and software system for onboard computing required a minimum fleet size in order to recover the fixed costs of a host system implementation.
We believe our historic target market segment has comprised approximately 300,000 vehicles. We believe XATANET will allow us to significantly expand our potential market to include a much larger portion of the private fleet sector, including smaller fleets, large decentralized fleets and fleets in new vertical markets. Specifically, smaller fleets and decentralized fleets are able to purchase individual XATANET software application packages that target their specific information needs and use our Internet-based host system to collect, process and present their data. We believe these fleets represent a significant new market opportunity. We view the total 6.6 million commercial trucks in this segment as

5


Table of Contents

our target market going forward, with particular emphasis on fleets operating medium and heavy duty trucks, estimated at 3.6 million vehicles.
For-Hire Carriers
For-hire carriers include both truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers, whose primary business is the trucking and transportation of freight that belongs to others. There are approximately 1.3 million commercial trucks in the for-hire carrier market segment.
Other Markets
We believe our XATANET web-based system may ultimately be introduced into several other new markets because of its open system architecture and the many potential applications for web-based, GPS-enabled tools.
Major Customers
Our systems have been installed in approximately 62,000 trucks at over 1,925 distribution centers. Our customers comprise Fortune 500 companies and other large organizations, such as Core-Mark International, C&S Wholesale Grocers, CVS Pharmacy, Dean Food, Kellogg Snacks Division, McLane Company, Publix Super Markets, Inc., Penske Corporation, Ryder System Inc., Safeway, Inc., Sara Lee Corp., Supervalu, Inc., US Foodservice, United States Postal Service, Weyerhauser Co., Whirlpool Corporation and xpedx (a division of International Paper Company.)
In fiscal 2007 and 2006, we had sales to one customer (hereinafter referred to as “Customer A”) who accounted for approximately 20 percent and 18 percent of fiscal year revenue, respectfully. In fiscal 2006, we had one additional customer (hereinafter referred to as “Customer B”) who accounted for approximately 18 percent of total revenue. No other customer accounted for 10 percent or more of revenue in fiscal 2007, 2006 or 2005.
Sales and Marketing
We market our products to operators of trucking fleets through a multi-tiered sales strategy including a direct sales force and various strategic alliances in our indirect sales channel.
Direct Sales Channel
Our direct sales force sells our SaaS fleet management systems primarily to private fleet truck operators and logistics providers through national and regional sales account executives. The efforts of our sales executives are supported by our systems sales consultants, client management, professional services and customer service organizations, which have a strong working knowledge of the hardware and software configurations and experience integrating our systems into fleets. We believe the level of service we provide to our customers is unique in the industry and a key competitive advantage in securing new customers and retaining existing accounts.
We focus our direct sales and marketing efforts on companies operating fleets of all sizes within vertical markets that have experienced significant benefits from our systems. These vertical markets include food distribution, petroleum production and marketing, manufacturing and processing, retail/wholesale delivery, and government.
Indirect Sales Channel
Distribution relationships with leading truck leasing companies such as Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. (a partnership of Penske Corporation and GE Capital) and NationaLease Purchasing Corporation (an affiliate of National Truck Leasing System) are the basis of our indirect sales channel. In our arrangement with Penske, Penske integrates our XATANET web-based system into its full-service lease program through a private labeled offering named Fleet I.Q. NationaLease also offers XATANET to its

6


Table of Contents

large base of lease customers in a joint go-to-market strategy with us.
As we continue to evolve the XATANET system, we anticipate offering our product through other new indirect sales channels such as sales agents, wireless carries and third party installers that will provide access to new customers.
We also use a combination of integrated marketing activities, including advertising, trade shows, the Internet and direct mail, to gain exposure within our target markets. We exhibit our products at selected industry conferences to promote brand awareness. We actively pursue speaking opportunities at industry trade shows for our management staff, as well as for customers who have gained efficiencies in fleet operations using our technology.
Competition
Competition in the mobile resource management system industry continues to increase at a rapid pace. We compete primarily on the basis of functionality, ease of use, quality, price, service availability and corporate financial strength. As the demand by businesses for mobile resource management solutions increases, the quality, functionality and breadth of competing products and services will likely improve and new competitors will likely enter our market. In addition, the widespread adoption of industry standards may make it easier for new market entrants or existing competitors to improve their existing products and services, to offer some or all of the products and services we offer or may offer in the future, or to offer new products and services that we do not offer. We also do not know to what extent network infrastructure developers and wireless network operators will seek to provide integrated wireless communications, Global Positioning Systems, software applications, transaction processing, and Internet solutions, including access devices developed internally or through captive suppliers.
Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources than we do. Additionally, many of these companies have greater name recognition and more established relationships with our target customers. Furthermore, these competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer customers more attractive terms than we can.
Key Alliances and Relationships
We continue to establish relationships with third parties with the intent to increase the deployment of our solutions. We believe that establishing these strategic relationships will facilitate our technological leadership and increase our access to new customers. Some of our existing relationships include:
Communication Providers
We have established relationships with Sprint/Nextel (Sprint) and Orbcomm LLC (Orbcomm) to provide wireless connectivity between our subscribers and our host system. We contract directly with Sprint and Orbcomm for the provision of wireless communications, which are bundled with our solutions. We are continuing to expand our communication providers and look to add additional partners in the next 12 – 18 months.
Indirect Sales Channel Alliances
We have an agreement with Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. in which we provide Penske a private labeled version of our XATANET web-based fleet management system, wireless communication services, managed hosting services and technical support. Penske has integrated our XATANET web-based system as an option for its full-service lease customers under the name Fleet I.Q. In total, Penske Truck Leasing has approximately 200,000 vehicles under management.
We also have a relationship with NationaLease Purchasing Corporation, whereby NationaLease offers XATANET to its truck leasing customers in a joint go-to-market strategy with us. NationaLease is a

7

consortium of approximately 120 independent truck leasing companies with a total fleet of 65,000 vehicles.
Manufacturers
We have established a relationship with Winland Electronics, Inc. (Winland) for the manufacture and testing of our mobile hardware products pursuant to our detailed specifications and quality requirements during the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
We have relationships with other companies that manufacture components for our solutions as well. All of our suppliers have entered into confidentiality agreements with respect to our proprietary technology. We believe our current suppliers can provide production volumes to meet our anticipated increases in product demand and we are not aware of any difficulty experienced by our suppliers in obtaining raw materials for manufacture.

Research and Development
We concentrate our research and development activities on software and hardware solutions that meet our customers’ current and anticipated future needs. To enhance our existing solutions and to introduce new solutions to our existing and potential customers, we focus on the following key areas:
    SaaS Infrastructure. We intend to continue to improve our SaaS infrastructure to meet the increasing needs of our expanding customer base and the associated increase in transactions. Also, we will continue to monitor and analyze the XATANET infrastructure’s capacity and ability to meet the service level requirements of our customers. For example, in September, 2007, we implemented a new storage area network (SAN) for improved performance and anticipated increase in transactional volume. At the same time, we deployed additional network servers to support enhanced capabilities in our on-demand XATANET with no interruption in service to our customers.
 
    Software. We intend to continue to develop our software applications by offering new features while enhancing existing features. For example, in October, 2007, we announced the availability of XATANET 4.0, the latest version of our on-demand fleet management system that offers a streamlined system management with instant notification of critical events and enhanced support for third-party in-cab displays and handheld devices. The release included XATAScope which provides reports on second-by-second speed, minute-by-minute speed, speed changes and speeding, giving fleet managers multiple views on driver driving habits and their impact on fuel use and road safety.
 
    Hardware.   We intend to continue to develop and release platform upgrades to add new features as well as to enhance existing features through our own development efforts and those of our strategic hardware partners

Employees
As of September 30, 2007, our staff included 115 employees and 2 independent contractors whose primary assignments are approximately as follows: 32 in research, development and information services; 18 in sales and marketing; 44 in customer support; and 23 in administrative, finance, purchasing and warehousing.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We do not have a long or stable history of profitable operations. The Company’s net losses to common shareholders for the fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $7.8 million, $2.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The respective periods’ net losses were $6.8 million, $1.8 million and $6.0 million. Additional amounts of $1.0 million, $0.3 million and $0.7 million, resulting from beneficial conversion charges and preferred stock dividends increased such respective period losses to the aforementioned levels of net losses to common shareholders.
We are dependent on key customers. We sell large orders to individual fleets and may be dependent upon a few major customers each year whose volume of purchases is significantly greater than that of other customers. As we continue to grow our existing customer base this risk will lessen, but until such time we are still dependent on continued purchases by present customers who continue to equip and upgrade their fleets. Loss of any significant current customers or an inability to further expand our customer base would adversely affect us.
Our sales cycle is long. The period required to complete a sale of our systems has historically been up to a year or longer. The length of the sales cycle may result in quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenue. Our systems are technically complex, which means the customer has to make an advance budget decision. The availability of new and other technologies also complicates and delays buying decisions.
We have competitors who are larger than we are. Many of the companies who offer competitive products have greater financial and other resources than our company. These competitors offer products ranging in sophistication and cost from basic onboard recorders to advanced mobile satellite communication and information systems. Their products may offer better or more functions than ours or may be more effectively marketed. In addition, the nature and sources of competition in our industry are rapidly evolving and increasingly depend on the ability to deliver integration of multiple information systems. These systems must link trucking operations with other facets of the supply chain through a variety of sophisticated software and communications technologies. These changes reflect a trend toward integration of intra-company data with the larger external supply chain involving the flow of goods to markets. We must continue to adapt our existing products and develop new products that facilitate the collection, integration, communication and utilization of information throughout the entire supply chain. This may entail the development of new technologies and the adaptation of new and existing products to be compatible with products and services provided by others in the industry. These trends may require us to establish strategic alliances with other companies who may be competitors.
We have a limited number of products and those products are concentrated in one industry. Although our systems have potential applications in a number of industries, to date we have targeted only the private fleet trucking segment of the transportation industry. If this market segment experiences a downturn that decreases our sales, the development of new applications and markets could take several months or longer, and could require substantial funding. In addition, our future success is dependent in part on developing and marketing new software applications. We cannot assure that new applications can be successfully developed or marketed in a timely manner.
Our target market is highly cyclical. The fleet trucking segment of the transportation industry is subject to fluctuations and business cycles. We cannot predict to what extent these business cycles may result in increases or decreases in capital purchases by fleet managers. A significant downturn in the prospects of the fleet trucking segment of the transportation industry could have a material, adverse affect on us.

The effectiveness of our selling efforts depends on knowledgeable staff and effective marketing
alliances. Direct sales of our products are dependent in part upon the salesperson’s in-depth knowledge and understanding of our systems. This knowledge is attained through experience and training over a period of several months or longer. We must attract, train, and retain qualified personnel on a continuing basis. We may not be able to sustain or augment our sales and marketing efforts by retaining or adding personnel, and it is possible that increased sales and marketing efforts will not result in increased sales or profitability. We believe that marketing alliances with truck leasing companies, truck manufacturers and others in the truck supply chain will become increasingly important distribution channels for our products. We may not be able to establish or sustain effective alliances. Moreover, we may have limited control over the selling efforts of our alliance partners.
We are dependent on proprietary technology. Our success is heavily dependent upon proprietary technology. We have been issued a design patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office that covers our Driver Computer and have recently applied for several software-related patents, but we have not yet been awarded patents on any of our software programs. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. These measures afford only limited protection. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may prove inadequate, or our competitors may independently develop similar technology, either of which could adversely affect us. In addition, despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our systems or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.
We depend on wireless communication networks owned and controlled by others. If we are unable to deliver continued access to communication services with sufficient capacity, our revenues could decrease. Our ability to grow and achieve profitability depends on the ability of satellite and digital cellular wireless carriers to provide sufficient network capacity, reliability and security to our customers. Even where wireless carriers provide coverage to entire regions, there are occasional lapses in coverage, for example due to man-made or natural obstructions blocking the transmission of data. These effects could make our services less reliable and less useful, and customer satisfaction could suffer. Our financial condition could be seriously harmed if our wireless carriers were to increase the prices of their services, or to suffer operational or technical failures.
Our products may quickly become obsolete. Our systems utilize proprietary software and onboard touch-screen computers. Although we believe our proprietary software is more important in the capture and communication of operating data than the hardware on which the software operates, continued improvements in hardware may render our technology, including its software, obsolete. The field of software and hardware is constantly undergoing rapid technological change and we may not be able to react and adapt to changes in this field. Moreover, development by our competitors could make our systems and services less competitive or obsolete. We believe that advancements in hardware and communications technology provide opportunities for us to form alliances with companies offering products complementary to our systems and services, but we cannot assure that we can form alliances with such companies or that any such alliance will be successful. Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to anticipate changes in technology and industry standards, and develop and introduce new features and enhancements to our system on a timely basis. If we are unable to do so for technological or other reasons or if new features or enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our business could be materially and adversely affected. We may encounter technical or other difficulties that could in the future delay the introduction of new systems or system features or enhancements.
JDSTG and Trident Capital, who are represented on our Board of Directors, individually and together own enough stock to exert significant influence over XATA. As of November 30, 2007, JDSTG owned approximately 13.4 percent and Trident Capital owned approximately 37.7 percent of our common stock on an as-converted basis, and Trident has the ability to increase its ownership significantly through exercising warrants. In addition, JDSTG is entitled to name up to three representatives to our Board of Directors and Trident is entitled to name up to two representatives. Trident is entitled to vote its Preferred Stock as if converted to common stock and to vote as a separate class (to the exclusion of the holders of common stock) on the election of its two director nominees. Both JDSTG and Trident benefit from

certain restrictive covenants of XATA in connection with their equity investments in the Company. The combination of stock ownership and Board of Director representation enables these shareholders, individually and together, to a greater degree, to exercise significant influence over the Company.
We are dependent on key personnel. Our staff is small and our future success depends to a significant extent on the efforts of key management, technical and sales personnel. The loss of one of our key employees could adversely affect our ability to provide leading edge technology to the transportation industry.
We may need additional capital. Although we believe cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet capital requirements for the foreseeable future, our cash needs may vary significantly from predictions. For example, if we do not generate anticipated cash flow, or if we grow at a rate faster than we anticipate, our predictions regarding cash needs may prove inaccurate and we may require additional financing. Our inability to obtain needed financing could have a material adverse effect on operating results. We cannot assure that we will be able to secure additional financing when needed or that financing, if obtained, will be on terms favorable or acceptable to us. Moreover, future financing may result in dilution to holders of our common stock.
We may issue additional stock without shareholder consent. We have authorized 25,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 8,516,000 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 7, 2007. The Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares. Additional shares may be issued in connection with future financing, acquisitions, employee stock plans, or otherwise. Any such issuance will dilute the percentage ownership of existing shareholders. We are also currently authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 7, 2007, 1,888,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,269,000 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,567,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors can issue additional preferred stock in one or more series and fix the terms of such stock without shareholder approval. Preferred stock may include the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and reduce the value of the common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party.
Our common stock could be delisted due to failure to satisfy a continued listing rule or standard. On August 26, 2005, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Listing Qualification Staff (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) (the “Rule”). This Rule requires the Company to have a minimum $35 million in market value of listed securities, $2.5 million in shareholders’ equity, or $500,000 in net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. Nasdaq informed the Company that it had 30 calendar days, or until September 26, 2005, to regain compliance with the Rule. By virtue of the Trident Capital investment in September 2005, we regained compliance with the Nasdaq Marketplace listing requirements. However, Nasdaq has advised us that it will continue to monitor our compliance with the listing standards. If we fail to show compliance, we may be subject to delisting.
We may be unable to manage rapid growth. The Company’s continued growth will place an increasing strain on our resources, and we could experience difficulties relating to a variety of operational matters, including hiring, training and managing an increasing number of employees, obtaining sufficient quantities of product from vendors, obtaining sufficient materials and contract manufacturers to produce our products, expanding our distribution capabilities and enhancing our customer service, financial, and operating systems. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage growth effectively. Any failure to manage growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our directors’ liability is limited under Minnesota law and under certain agreements. Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, state that our directors are not liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for a breach of the duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under Minnesota law or for any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Minnesota law for all expenses incurred in the settlement of any actions against them in connection with their service as officers or directors of the Company. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with the Trident investors, and its representatives who serve as directors on our Board, which may supplement the indemnification provisions available to them under Minnesota law.
Anti-takeover provisions. Minnesota law provides Minnesota corporations with anti-takeover protections. These protective provisions could delay or prevent a change in control of our company by requiring shareholder approval of significant acquisitions of our voting stock. These provisions operate even when many shareholders may think a takeover would be in their best interests.
We face burdens relating to the recent trend toward stricter corporate governance and financial reporting standards. New legislation or regulations that follow the trend of imposing stricter corporate governance and financial reporting standards, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, continues to increase our costs of compliance. A failure to comply with these new laws and regulations may impact market perception of our financial condition and could materially harm our business. Additionally, it is unclear what additional laws or regulations may develop, and we cannot predict the ultimate impact of any future changes.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock price. We are in the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2008, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our Independent Auditors in fiscal 2009 addressing the same. During the course of our testing we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.

Dividend Policy
Except for dividends paid to the holders of Series A 8 percent Convertible Preferred Stock (from issuance in May 1999 until conversion in full in August 2000), we have never paid cash dividends on any of our securities. We have retained any earnings for use in our operations. Our Board of Directors will determine future dividend payments, if any, based upon our earnings, capital needs and other relevant factors.
On December 6, 2003, we issued 1,613,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock that pays an annual cumulative dividend of 4 percent of the original issue price (payable in additional shares of Preferred Stock or cash, at the option of the holders). The Series B Preferred Stock provides that we cannot pay dividends to the holders of any other capital stock unless and until we have paid dividends accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock elected to receive dividends due and payable on May 31, 2007 and November 30, 2007 in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock rather than cash. Accordingly as of December 7, 2007, we had issued a total of 73,000, 70,000 and 68,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for payment of dividends in calendar year 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in this Report. This Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of our financial statements and are based upon management’s current judgments. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly important because of their significance to the financial statements. Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods we use. The following is a discussion of what we believe to be the most critical of these policies and methods.
Revenue Recognition. We derive our revenue from sales of hardware, software and related services, and from application service contracts. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions, and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.
Software revenue is recognized under SOP 97-2 and SAB 104 when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (for example a signed agreement or purchase order), (ii) delivery has occurred, as evidenced by shipping documents or customer acceptance, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and payable within twelve months, and (iv) collectibility is probable and supported by credit checks or past payment history. Pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, revenues are recognized for completed systems held at our warehouse pending the receipt of delivery instructions from the customer. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, we had approximately $0 and $20,000, respectively, of systems on hand that had been billed to those customers awaiting specific delivery instructions.
With regard to software arrangements involving multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each element based on the relative fair value of each element. Our determination of fair value of each element in multiple-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). We limit our assessment of VSOE for each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. We have analyzed all of the elements included in our multiple-element arrangements and have determined that we have sufficient VSOE to allocate revenue to consulting services and post-contract customer support (PCS) components of our license arrangements. We sell our consulting services separately, and have established VSOE on this basis. VSOE for PCS components are determined based upon the customer’s annual renewal rates for these elements. Accordingly, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue from licenses is recognized upon delivery, and revenue from PCS components are recognized ratably over the applicable term, typically one year.
Prior to January 1, 2006, certain software sales included application service contracts. The terms of those contracts did not meet the requirements described in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-03, Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware, to account for it under SOP 97-2 and SAB 104 and resulted in the recognition of all revenue ratably over the term of the agreement. During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, we changed the terms of all new contracts, such that all the requirements of EITF 00-03 related to software delivery are met and the contracts are accounted for under SOP 97-2. For these new contracts, revenue is recognized based on the multiple element arrangement accounting described above.
Allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business. The majority of our accounts receivables are due from companies with fleet trucking operations in a variety of industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are typically due from customers within 30 days and are stated at amounts net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We determine the

17


Table of Contents

allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade receivables are past due, our previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. We reserve for these accounts receivable by increasing bad debt expense when they are determined to be uncollectible. Payments subsequently received, or otherwise determined to be collectible, are treated as recoveries that reduce bad debt expense. We determine our allowance for sales returns by considering several factors, including history of prior sales credits issued. We regularly assess the allowance for sales returns and adjust it as needed. When we accept a product return or issue a sales credit for which we had specifically increased the allowance, we write-off the associated accounts receivable and decrease the allowance for sales returns.
Capitalized system development costs. Software and system development costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, (SFAS No. 86), Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. These costs are amortized to cost of goods sold beginning when the product is first released for sale to the general public. The dollar amount amortized is the greater of the amount computed using the ratio of current gross revenues for the product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product (two to five years).
During fiscal 2007, the Company recognized costs of $1.9 million relating to impairment of capitalized system development costs and associated product inventory relating to products that will not be marketed.
Income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the effects of taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Stock-based Compensation. Prior to fiscal 2007, the Company accounted for share-based employee compensation plans under the measurement and recognition provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under the intrinsic value method permitted by SFAS No.123, no share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards granted to employees had been recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations, since all stock option awards granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant.
Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting methodology using the intrinsic value method under APB 25.
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation expense is recognized for periods subsequent to adoption date for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of September 30, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for all share-based awards granted subsequent to September 30, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s financial statements for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R).

The Company estimates the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the assumptions shown in Note 8 to the financial statements. The Company estimates the volatility of the common stock at the date of grant based on a historical volatility rate, consistent with SFAS 123(R) and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107). The decision to use historical volatility was based upon the lack of market activity in the Company’s common stock options. The expected term is estimated consistent with the simplified method identified in SAB 107 for share-based awards granted during fiscal 2007. The simplified method calculates the expected term as the average of the vesting and contractual terms of the award. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The fair value of options are amortized over the vesting period of the awards utilizing a straight-line method.
Operating Results
We believe the percentage relationship between net sales and major expense items in the statement of operations is important in evaluating the performance of our business operations. We operate as one business segment and believe the information presented in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provides an understanding of our business, operations and financial condition. The following table sets forth certain Statements of Operations data as a percentage of net sales:

Comparison of Fiscal 2007 operating results to Fiscal 2006
Net Sales
Net sales of our XATANET products increased 39.0 percent to $22.1 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $15.9 million for fiscal 2006. Our monthly recurring subscription revenue increased 76.1 percent to $7.8 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $4.4 million in fiscal 2006. XATANET sales contributed 72.0 percent of total net sales for fiscal 2007, compared to 51.8 percent for fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007 net sales derived from our legacy OpCenter product line decreased 42.0 percent as expected to $8.6 million compared to $14.8 million for fiscal 2006 as we continue to migrate customers to the XATANET platform. As a result of these trends, overall net sales remained flat at $30.7 million for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006.
We ended fiscal 2007 with $9.6 million of deferred revenue in comparison to $12.0 million at the end of fiscal 2006 as our overall XATANET product revenue continues to shift to the new customer contract which allows certain revenue to be recognized at the time of delivery. Under the terms of the previous customer contract, all revenue was recognized over the initial term of each subscription rather than at the time of delivery. XATANET subscription terms are a minimum of twelve months.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes the direct product costs associated with fulfilling customer orders, warranty

Table of Contents

costs related to previously sold systems, communication and hosting costs, product repair and refurbishment costs, and expenses associated with the enhancement of released products. Total cost of goods sold decreased $0.9 million to $16.9 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $17.8 million for fiscal 2006. Overall gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 3.0 percentage points to 44.8 percent for fiscal 2007 versus 41.8 percent for fiscal 2006. This improvement in overall margins for fiscal 2007 was the result of the increase in XATANET recurring subscription revenue. XATANET gross margins as a percent of net sales improved to 38.1 percent for fiscal 2007 compared to 20.4 percent for fiscal 2006, primarily due to XATANET subscription margins improving to 56.5 percent for fiscal 2007 compared to 40.0 percent in fiscal 2006.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of employee salaries in our support, sales and administration functions, sales commissions, marketing and promotional expenses, executive and administrative costs, accounting and professional fees, recruiting costs and provision for doubtful accounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.7 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $10.7 million for fiscal 2006. Selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal 2007 was impacted by charges of $1.4 million of legal and settlement costs associated with a patent infringement lawsuit and $1.9 million write-off of capitalized system development cost relating to products that will not be marketed. Selling, general and administrative expenses reflect an increase in stock based compensation associated with changes in the executive team of $1.5 million. Fiscal 2007 selling, general and administration expenses excluding the legal and settlement costs, write-off of system development costs and the increase in stock based compensation, were $11.9 million or 38.8 percent of net sales.
Research & Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist of employee salaries and expenses related to development personnel and consultants, as well as expenses associated with software and hardware development. Research and development expenses were $4.3 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $4.0 million for fiscal 2006. The increase of $0.3 million was primarily due to an increase in development costs associated with future releases of fleet management systems that have not yet reached technological feasibility.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $0.3 million to $0.5 million in fiscal 2007 from $0.2 million in fiscal 2006. The increase in interest income was associated with higher average cash balances and improved interest rates during fiscal 2007.
Income Taxes
No income tax benefit or expense was recorded in fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006. Because we have had continued operating losses and do not have objectively verifiable positive evidence of future taxable income as prescribed by SFAS No. 109, we concluded that a full valuation allowance was appropriate. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income during the periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable could be increased in the future if we return to profitability and actual future taxable income is higher than currently estimated. At September 30, 2007, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $24.8 million.
Net Loss to Common Shareholders
We incurred net losses to common shareholders of $7.8 million and $2.1 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net loss to common shareholders for fiscal 2007 reflects preferred stock deemed dividends relating to the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock of $0.7 million. Fiscal 2007 and 2006 reflect preferred stock dividends and preferred stock deemed dividends of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, relating to Series B Preferred Stock.

Comparison of Fiscal 2006 operating results to Fiscal 2005
Net Sales
Net sales increased 58.7 percent to $30.6 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $19.3 million in fiscal 2005. Net sales derived from our legacy OpCenter product line increased 6.6 percent to $14.7 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $13.8 million for fiscal 2005.
Net sales of XATANET equipment and services increased 190 percent to $15.9 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $5.5 million for fiscal 2005. XATANET system sales were 52 percent of total net sales for fiscal 2006, compared to 28 percent for fiscal 2005. The 184 percent growth in XATANET equipment sales in fiscal 2006 is associated with the following: (i) the increase in XATANET systems revenue in fiscal 2006 resulting from prior period deferred sales versus fiscal 2005 and (ii) the change in our XATANET contract terms, which now meets the revenue recognition requirements for immediate revenue recognition related to the software and hardware components of a sale for most new system sales. The effect of this change was additional revenue of $1.8 million for fiscal 2006. The 207 percent growth in recognized XATANET subscription sales is due to a larger subscriber base in fiscal 2006 in comparison to fiscal 2005.
We ended fiscal 2006 with $12.0 million of deferred revenue in comparison to $11.1 million at the end of fiscal 2005. Revenue associated with XATANET systems that are not under our new contract format will continue to be recognized over the initial term of each subscription rather than at the time of delivery. XATANET subscription terms are a minimum of twelve months.
Cost of Goods Sold
Total cost of goods sold increased $5.8 million to $17.8 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $12.0 million for fiscal 2005, driven by increased XATANET system and subscription sales. Overall gross margins on sales increased 4.1 percentage points to 41.8 percent for fiscal 2006 versus 37.7 percent for fiscal 2005. This improvement in overall margins for fiscal 2006 was driven by strong OpCenter systems margins and by the improvement in XATANET subscriptions margins from 17 percent in fiscal 2005 to 40 percent in fiscal 2006.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.5 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $9.7 million for fiscal 2005. The increase of $1.8 million was mainly due to the following: (i) an increase in employee related expenses of $1.3 million due to an increase in headcount which occurred in late fiscal 2005 to support the XATANET product line (ii) an increase in stock based compensation expense of $0.1 million associated with the Company’s long-term incentive program and (iii) an increase in recruiting costs of $0.3 million associated with new executive, sales, and operations positions that were added in fiscal 2006.
Research & Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $3.3 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $3.6 million for fiscal 2005. The decrease of $0.3 million was mainly due to the increase in capitalized software development costs. In fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred total research and development costs of $4.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively; of which $0.9 million and $0.3 million of software development costs were capitalized in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. These costs were capitalized after the establishment of technological feasibility occurred as required by FAS 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. These costs will be amortized to cost of goods sold based on the greater of the amount completed using the ratio of current gross revenues for the product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight line method over the estimated economic life of the product (two to five years).

Table of Contents

Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $0.1 million to $0.2 million in fiscal 2006 from $0.1 million in fiscal 2005. The increase was primarily associated with higher interest income due to larger cash balances and improved interest rates in fiscal 2006.
Net Loss to Common Shareholders
We incurred net losses to common shareholders of $2.1 million and $6.7 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. For both periods the difference between net loss applicable to common shareholders and net loss relates to paid and deemed dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2007, we held $13.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and had working capital of $10.5 million. This compared to $6.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and working capital of $6.3 million, as of September 30, 2006.
Operating activities provided cash of $1.6 million and $2.1 million during fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, while operating activities used cash of $4.4 million in fiscal 2005. Cash provided by operating activities less cash used in investing activities, increased to $0.8 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $0.5 million and a negative $1.3 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2007 reflects an increase in working capital of $3.8 million and non-cash expenses of $4.6 million offsetting a net loss of $6.8 million. Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2006 resulted primarily from an increase in working capital of $2.7 million and non-cash expenses of $1.1 million offsetting our net loss of $1.7 million.
Cash used in investing activities of $0.8 million for fiscal 2007 included $0.6 million for purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements and $0.2 million for capitalized software development.
Cash provided by financing activities of $6.5 million for fiscal 2007 included proceeds from the issuance of Series D preferred stock of $6.0 million and $0.6 million from the issuance of common stock.
On December 17, 2004 we established a $2.0 million line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. On December 16, 2005, we amended this debt facility and increased the size of the facility to $5.0 million. Advances under the line of credit accrue interest at the prime rate, which was 7.75 percent as of September 30, 2007. The line of credit is subject to borrowing base requirements and is collateralized by substantially all our assets. We are required to meet a quick ratio level of no less than 1:1 under this agreement. This facility will expire on December 15, 2007.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations as of September 30, 2007 (amounts in thousands):

Purchase obligations are defined as contractual obligations to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us. These obligations specify all significant terms and the timing of the transaction.
We believe our current cash balance and vendor terms will provide adequate cash to fund operating needs for the foreseeable future. However, a protracted decline in revenue, significant revenue growth or an increase in product development in the near term may require us to obtain external funding. No assurance can be given that we will be able to secure any required additional financing when needed, or that such financing, if obtained at all, will be on terms favorable or acceptable to us. If additional financing is required and we are unable to secure such additional financing, we may need to implement measures to slow our growth or reduce operating costs, including reductions to product development, marketing and other operating activities.
Our Series B Preferred Stock prohibits payment of dividends to the holders of any other capital stock unless and until we have paid dividends accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock, which pays an annual cumulative dividend of 4 percent of the original issue price. At the option of the Series B Preferred Stock holders, such dividends are payable in additional shares of Preferred Stock or cash. In fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, we issued 72,000, 69,000 and 67,000 shares, respectively, of Series B Preferred Stock for payment of accrued dividends. We are further restricted from dividend payments by our primary lender.
Subsequent Events
The Company was named as one of many defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit filed during 2007. In November 2007, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the plaintiff that will dismiss the Company from the lawsuit and provide the Company a fully paid-up irrevocable and perpetual license to the patents at issue, in exchange for cash compensation. The Company recognized $1.4 million in legal and settlement expenses during fiscal 2007 related to this matter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Not applicable
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Statement 154)
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, as part of its short-term convergence project with the International Accounting Standards Board. Statement 154 requires that all voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by a new accounting pronouncement that do not include specific transition provisions be applied retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impractical to do so. Opinion 20, Accounting Changes, required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle as a component of net income in the period of the change. Statement 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of the Statement. The Company adopted Statement 154 effective prospectively as October 1, 2006. The adoption of this Statement did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48)
In July, 2006 the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on the

derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions.  The accounting provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2007.  The Company is assessing the impact of the new guidance on all open tax positions and it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statement (SAB 108)
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. The SAB requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 does not change the guidance in SAB 99, “Materiality”, when evaluating the materiality of misstatements. Upon initial application, SAB 108 permits a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. SAB 108 was effective for Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of this Statement did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157)
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements but does not require any new fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is determining what impact if any this Statement will have on the financial statements.
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159)
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s market risk exposure is primarily interest rate risk related to its cash and cash equivalents. Our investment policy is to manage our total cash and investment balance to preserve principal and maintain liquidity.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and
Shareholders of XATA Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of XATA Corporation (a Minnesota corporation) as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of XATA Corporation as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective October 1, 2006, the Company changed its method for accounting for share-based payments to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments.

Note 1. Description of Business
XATA Corporation (the “Company”) develops, markets and services fully integrated, onboard fleet management systems for the private fleet segment of the transportation industry. The Company sells its products in the United States and Canada. The Company’s systems utilize proprietary software and related hardware components and accessories to capture, analyze, and communicate operating information that assists fleet management in improving productivity and efficiency.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue from sales of hardware, software and related services, and from application service contracts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions, and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.
Software revenue is recognized under SOP 97-2 and SAB 104 when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (for example a signed agreement or purchase order), (ii) delivery has occurred, as evidenced by shipping documents or customer acceptance, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and payable within twelve months, and (iv) collectibility is probable and supported by credit checks or past payment history. Pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, revenues are recognized for completed systems held at the Company’s warehouse pending the receipt of delivery instructions from the customer. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had $0 and $20,000, respectively, of systems on hand that had been billed to those customers awaiting specific delivery instructions.
With regard to software arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on the relative fair value of each element. The Company’s determination of fair value of each element in multiple-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. The Company has analyzed all of the elements included in its multiple-element arrangements and has determined that it has sufficient VSOE to allocate revenue to consulting services and post-contract customer support (PCS) components of its license arrangements. The Company sells its consulting services separately, and has established VSOE on this basis. VSOE for PCS components are determined based upon the customer’s annual renewal rates for these elements. Accordingly, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue from licenses is recognized upon delivery, and revenue from PCS components are recognized ratably over the applicable term, typically one year.
Prior to January 1, 2006, certain software sales included application service contracts. The terms of those contracts did not meet the requirements described in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-03, Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware, to account for it under SOP 97-2 and SAB 104 and resulted in the recognition of all revenue ratably over the term of the agreement. During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, we changed the terms of all new contracts, such that all the requirements of EITF 00-03 related to software delivery are met and the contracts are accounted for under SOP 97-2. For these new contracts, revenue is recognized based on the multiple element arrangement accounting described above.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The Company will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations or experiences changes in its business.
The Company had no significant revenues from customers outside of the United States in fiscal 2007,

Table of Contents

2006 and 2005, and had no significant long-lived assets deployed outside the United States at September 30, 2007 and 2006.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased by the Company.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of checking and money market accounts and other liquid investments, which, at times, exceed federally, insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
The majority of our accounts receivable are due from companies with fleet trucking operations in a variety of industries. In general, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are typically due from customers within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon a number of factors, including the length of time trade receivables are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Unexpected or significant future changes in trends could result in a material impact to future statements of operations or cash flows. The Company determines its allowance for sales returns by considering several factors, including history of prior sales credits issued. The Company regularly assesses the allowance for sales returns and appropriate adjustments are made as needed. The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded as a charge to operating expenses while the provision for sales returns is recognized as a reduction of revenues.
Value of Financial Instruments
The amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities.
At September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had $0 outstanding under its revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. The carrying amount of these borrowings approximates fair value as the rate of interest on the revolving credit facility approximates the current market rate of interest for similar instruments with a comparable maturity.
Inventories
Inventories consist of parts and accessories and finished goods, and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the standard cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method.

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Purchased equipment and leased equipment under capital leases is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of approximately two to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives (three to fifteen years). Depreciation for income tax reporting purposes is computed using accelerated methods.

Capitalized System Development Costs
System development costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility are capitalized as capitalized system development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, (SFAS No. 86), Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Costs that are capitalized are amortized to cost of goods sold beginning when the product is first released for sale to the general public. Amortization is at the greater of the amount computed using the ratio of current gross revenues for the product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product (two to five years).
During fiscal 2007, the Company recognized costs of $1.9 million relating to impairment of capitalized system development costs and associated product inventory relating to products that will not be marketed. These costs were recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
Product Warranties
The Company sells its hardware products with a limited warranty, with an option to purchase extended warranties. The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and for other costs

F-8


Table of Contents

associated with specific items at the time their existence and amount are determinable. Factors affecting the Company’s product warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its product warranty liability based on changes in these factors.
At September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had accruals for product warranties of approximately $911,000 and $877,000, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs, which are classified as a component of cost of goods sold, were approximately $290,000, $320,000 and $304,000 in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Customer billings related to shipping and handling fees are reported as net sales.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were approximately $340,000, $191,000 and $208,000 in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Advertising costs consist primarily of ad campaigns, catalog brochures, promotional items and trade show expenses.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenses include product development costs which have not met the capitalization criteria of SFAS No. 86. During fiscal 2007 and 2006 approximately $160,000 and $906,000, respectively, of research and development costs were capitalized in accordance with FAS 86.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes following the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred income taxes be recognized for the future tax consequences associated with differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established by the Company when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the rate change occurs.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to fiscal 2007, the Company accounted for share-based employee compensation plans under the measurement and recognition provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under the intrinsic value method permitted by SFAS No.123, no share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards granted to employees had been recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations, since all stock option awards granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The Company recognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock grants issued during fiscal 2006 and 2005 of $566,000 and $435,000, respectively.
If compensation expense for stock based compensation related to stock options had been determined based on the fair value of options at the grant date consistent with the methods provided in SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation,” the Company’s net loss and loss to common shareholders per share would have been as follows, (in thousands except per share amounts):

Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting methodology using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25.
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation expense is recognized for periods subsequent to adoption date for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of September 30, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for all share-based awards granted subsequent to September 30, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s financial statements for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R).
The Company estimates the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the assumptions shown in Note 8 to the financial statements. The Company estimates the volatility of the common stock at the date of grant based on a historical volatility rate, consistent with SFAS 123(R) and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107). The decision to use historical volatility was based upon the lack of traded common stock options. The expected term is estimated consistent with the simplified method identified in SAB 107 for share-based awards granted during fiscal 2007. The simplified method calculates the expected term as the average of the vesting and contractual terms of the award. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The fair value of options are amortized over the vesting period of the awards utilizing a straight-line method.
Basis of Presentation
Certain amounts from prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss to common shareholders or shareholders’ equity.
Major Customers
The Company had the following significant customers:

The Company sells large orders to individual fleets and may be dependent upon a few major customers each year whose volume of purchases is significantly greater than that of other customers. Although the Company has experienced growth in its customer base, it is still dependent on continued purchases by present customers who continue to equip and upgrade their fleets. Loss of any significant current customers or an inability to further expand its customer base would adversely affect the Company.
Major Suppliers
While current vendors are meeting the Company’s quality and performance expectations, the Company believes that a disruption in the supply of XATA Application Modules (XAMs) supplied by one vendor, would affect the Company’s ability to deliver finished goods and replacement parts.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Statement 154)
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, as part of its short-term convergence project with the International Accounting Standards Board. Statement 154 requires that all voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by a new accounting pronouncement that do not include specific transition provisions be applied retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impractical to do so. Opinion 20, Accounting Changes, required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle as a component of net income in the period of the change. Statement 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of the Statement. The Company adopted Statement 154 effective prospectively as October 1, 2006. The adoption of this Statement did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48)
In July, 2006 the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions.  The accounting provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2007.  The Company is assessing the impact of the new guidance on all open tax positions and it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statement (SAB 108)
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. The SAB requires registrants to quantify

F-11

misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 does not change the guidance in SAB 99, “Materiality”, when evaluating the materiality of misstatements. Upon initial application, SAB 108 permits a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. SAB 108 was effective for Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. The adoption of this Statement did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157)
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements but does not require any new fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is determining what impact if any this Statement will have on the financial statements.
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159)
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements.
Note 3. Bank Line of Credit
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a $5,000,000 credit line agreement with a financial institution. Advances under the line of credit accrue interest at the prime rate, which was 7.75 percent as of September 30, 2007. The line is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. The Company is required to meet a quick ratio level of no less than 1:1 under this agreement. All amounts owed under this line of credit must be repaid not later than December 15, 2007. There were no borrowings under this credit line as of September 30, 2007.
Note 4. Long-Term Liabilities
During 2007, the Company financed the purchase of $306,000 of equipment using capital leases. Future minimum lease payments under all capital leases/equipment financing agreements as follows (amounts in thousands):

Note 5. Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other obligations to issue common stock such as options, warrants or convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock that then shared in the earnings/(losses) of the Company. For all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is equal to basic net loss per share because the effect of including such securities or obligations would have been antidilutive.
Options and warrants to purchase 2,771,000, 1,421,000 and 1,577,000 shares of common stock at weighted average per share exercise prices of $4.23, $3.79 and $3.57 were excluded for the 2007, 2006, and 2005 fiscal years, respectively due to the Company incurring a net loss during the 2007, 2006 and 2005 fiscal years. The inclusion of these outstanding options and warrants would have an antidilutive effect. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per common share amounts are the same for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Note 6. Income Taxes
The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (amounts in thousands):

The Company periodically reviews the valuation allowance it has established on its deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable could be increased in the future if the Company returns to profitability and actual future taxable income is higher than currently estimated and it becomes more likely than not that these amounts will be realized.
The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) differed from the statutory federal rate as follows (amounts in thousands):

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $24.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, which begin to expire in 2009 through 2027. The carryforwards may be subject to annual use limitations in accordance with the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Included in the net operating loss carryforwards is approximately $0.3 million related to stock options, which currently have a full valuation allowance, and when realized for financial statement purposes will not result in a reduction in income tax expense. Rather, the benefit will be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
Note 7. Commitments
Leases
The Company leases its office, warehouse, and certain office equipment under noncancelable operating leases. The facility leases require that the Company pay a portion of the real estate taxes, maintenance, utilities and insurance.

$107,000 and $60,000, respectively.
Note 8. Shareholders’ Equity
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock.
Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized an undesignated class of preferred stock of 10,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors can issue preferred stock in one or more series and fix the terms of such stock without shareholder approval. Preferred stock may include the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions.
Series B
In December 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the sale of up to 1,700,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock through a private placement. On December 6, 2003, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into with Trident Capital, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Trident”) the Company sold 1,613,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $4,097,000, or $2.54 per share. Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The price per share of the Series B Preferred Stock and the conversion price for the common stock were equal to the “market value” of the common stock (as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the definitive agreements. The Series B Preferred Stock pays an annual cumulative dividend of 4 percent of the original issue price (payable semi-annually; payable in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock or cash, at the option of the holders) and has a non-participating preferred liquidation right equal to the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock provides that the Company cannot pay dividends to the holders of any other capital stock unless and until the Company has paid dividends accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock.
In fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company issued 72,000, 69,000 and 67,000 shares, respectively, of Series B Preferred Stock to Trident for payment of accrued dividends. Based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the dividend payment, the payment of the dividend in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock resulted in a non-cash deemed dividend of $159,000, $144,000 and $168,000 in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of Trident at 100 percent of the original purchase price plus accrued and unpaid dividends at any time after five years from the date of issuance, or at any time if there is a significant adverse judgment against the Company, the Company defaults on its debts or files for bankruptcy, or in the event of a change of control. However, the Company may decline to redeem any or all of the Preferred Stock at its sole option and discretion, and in such case the annual cumulative dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock will increase from 4 percent to 10 percent.  The Company may redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at its option after five years from the date of issuance if the market price of its common stock is greater than three times the conversion price on each of the sixty consecutive days prior to the redemption date.
Additionally, the Company issued Trident 5-year warrants for 451,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $3.17 per share. The aggregate purchase price of the warrants was $56,000. The warrants permit “cashless exercise.”
In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash deemed dividend of $629,000 relating to the beneficial conversion portion of the preferred stock. The beneficial conversion portion was determined by allocating the Trident proceeds on a fair value basis between the preferred

stock and the warrants. The amount of the deemed dividend was the difference between the deemed fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock and the purchase price on the date of the transaction. The deemed dividend was recorded as an addition to preferred stock with a corresponding increase to accumulated deficit. The addition was recognized at the date of issuance of the preferred stock, the same date at which the shares were eligible for conversion.
On December 6, 2003, the placement agent for the Trident investment received as consideration a $320,000 cash fee and 7-year warrants for purchase of an aggregate of 163,000 shares of Common Stock (130,000 shares at $2.54 per share and 33,000 shares at $3.17 per share). These warrants permit “cashless exercise” and provide the holders with piggyback registration rights.
Series C
In August 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the sale of up to 1,400,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock through a private placement. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into in September 2005 with Trident, the Company sold 1,269,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $5,000,000, or $3.94 per share. Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The price per share of Series C Preferred Stock and the conversion price for the common stock are equal to the “market value” of the common stock (as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the definitive agreements. The Series C Preferred Stock does not pay a dividend, unless the Company declines to redeem the stock upon demand of the holders after an Acceleration Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock). In that case, the Series C Preferred Stock pays an annual cumulative dividend of 4 percent of the original issue price (payable in cash). The Series C Preferred Stock has a non-participating liquidation right equal to the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends which are senior to the Common Stock and junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at its option after five (5) years from the date of issuance at the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends, if the market value of the common stock is at least three (3) times the then effective conversion price for a specified period.
Additionally, the Company issued Trident 5-year warrants to purchase 375,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $3.94 per share. The aggregate fair value of the warrants was $47,000. The warrants permit “cashless exercise.”
In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash deemed dividend of $419,000 relating to the beneficial conversion portion of the preferred stock. The beneficial conversion portion was determined by allocating the Trident proceeds on a fair value basis between the preferred stock and the warrants. The amount of the deemed dividend was the difference between the deemed fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock and the purchase price on the date of the transaction. The deemed dividend was recorded as an addition to preferred stock with a corresponding increase to accumulated deficit. The addition was recognized at the date of issuance of the preferred stock, the same date at which the shares were eligible for conversion.
No broker or placement agent was involved in the placement of the Series C Preferred Stock and no commissions or other compensation was paid.
Series D
In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the sale of up to 1,600,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock through a private placement. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into in June 2007 with Trident, the Company sold 1,567,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $6,000,000, or $3.83 per share. Each share of the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The price per share of Series D Preferred Stock and the conversion price for the common stock are equal to the “market value” of the common stock (as defined in the rules of the

F-16


Table of Contents

Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the definitive agreements. The Series D Preferred Stock does not pay a dividend, unless the Company declines to redeem the stock upon demand of the holders after an Acceleration Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series D Preferred Stock). In that case, the Series D Preferred Stock pays an annual cumulative dividend of 4 percent of the original issue price (payable in cash). The Series D Preferred Stock has a non-participating liquidation right equal to the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends which are senior to the Common Stock and junior to the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. The Company may redeem the Series D Preferred Stock at its option after five (5) years from the date of issuance at the original issue price, plus accrued unpaid dividends, if the market value of the common stock is at least three (3) times the then effective conversion price for a specified period.
Additionally, the Company issued Trident 5-year warrants to purchase 470,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $3.83 per share. The aggregate fair value of the warrants was $59,000. The warrants permit “cashless exercise.”
In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash deemed dividend of $658,000 relating to the beneficial conversion portion of the preferred stock. The beneficial conversion portion was determined by allocating the Trident proceeds on a fair value basis between the preferred stock and the warrants. The amount of the deemed dividend was the difference between the deemed fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock and the purchase price on the date of the transaction. The deemed dividend was recorded as an addition to preferred stock with a corresponding increase to accumulated deficit. The addition was recognized at the date of issuance of the preferred stock, the same date at which the shares were eligible for conversion.
No broker or placement agent was involved in the placement of the Series D Preferred Stock and no commissions or other compensation was paid.
Stock Option Plans
In February 2007 the Company adopted the 2007 Long Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (the 2007 Plan). The 2007 Plan permits the granting of “incentive stock options” meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and nonqualified options that do not meet the requirements of Section 422. Stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards may also be granted under the 2007 Plan. A total of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was originally reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted or shares awarded under the 2007 Plan. Generally, the options that are granted under the 2007 Plan are exercisable for a period of five to ten years from the date of grant and vest over a period of up to three years from the date of grant.
The Company has thee equity compensation plans: its 2001 Interim Incentive and Stock Option Plan, its 2002 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan and its 2007 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan, all of which have been approved by the shareholders of the Company. The 2001 Interim and 2002 Plans have terminated and no additional awards can be made under those Plans.

Restricted Stock Awards
The Company grants restricted shares of common stock as part of its long-term incentive compensation to employees. Fair market value of restricted stock awards are determined based on the closing market price on the date of grant. Restricted shares awards vest over one to three years and stock awards may be sold once vested. The Company also granted 10,000, 10,000 and 12,500 shares of common stock to certain directors in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Restricted stock awards granted to directors vest immediately.

The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the restricted stock. Stock based compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards was $1,492,000, $566,000 and $435,000 for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
As of September 30, 2007, there was approximately $1,542,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards. The Company expects to recognize this cost over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.4 years.
In fiscal 2006, the Company adjusted previously recorded deferred compensation expense for the periods beginning in fiscal year 2004 through fiscal 2006 due to a change in estimated expected forfeitures of restricted stock awards. This cumulative effect on current and prior periods was recognized in the current period resulting in a $118,000 reduction of deferred compensation expense in fiscal 2006.
As the result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company eliminated the unearned stock based compensation component of stockholders’ equity. The elimination resulted in a reclassification of $900,000 to additional paid in capital. Net loss and total shareholders’ equity were not impacted.

     The undersigned, Craig S. Fawcett, hereby certifies that:
     (a) He is the duly elected and acting Chief Executive Officer of Xata Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Corporation”).
     (b) On December 8, 2003, the Corporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota the Certificate of Designation of Preferences of Series B Preferred Stock of Xata Corporation (the “Certificate of Designation”).
     (c) Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Corporation by Section 3.2 of the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), the Board of Directors of the Corporation on January 13, 2004, adopted the following resolutions amending the following provisions of the Certificate of Designation;
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation desires to amend and restate certain of the powers, rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to the Series B Preferred Stock:
     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Articles, the following sections of the Certificate of Designation are amended as follows:
     1. Amendment and Restatement of Section 4(D). Section 4(D) is amended and restated in full to read as follows:
     “(D) For purposes of this Section 4, unless waived in writing by holders of sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a Change of Control shall be deemed to be a Liquidation Event and shall entitle the holders of Series B Preferred Stock to receive proceeds from such Liquidation Event (including payments at closing, and at each date after the closing on which additional amounts are paid to stockholders of the Corporation as a result of the Liquidation Event) in cash, securities or other property (valued as provided in Section 4(E) below) in the amount specified in this Section 4. A “Change of Control” shall mean (i) any acquisition of the Corporation by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Corporation are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by an acquiring corporation or its subsidiary (other than a mere reincorporation transaction) or person or group in which in excess of forty percent (40%) of the voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock is transferred; (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or (iii) the beneficial acquisition from the Corporation by any person or group in a

 


 

transaction or series of related transactions in which such person or group holds in excess of forty percent (40%) of the voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock following such transaction.”
     2. Amendment of Section 5(A)(i) Caption.
     The caption to Section 5(A)(i) is hereby amended to be entitled “Optional Redemption by the Corporation.”
     3. Amendment of Sections 5(A) and 5(B).
     (a) Section 5(A)(ii) is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:
          “(ii) At the Request of the Holders:
  (A)   The holders of sixty percent (60%) of the Series B Preferred Stock may, by written notice to the Corporation (the “Election Notice”), require the Corporation to redeem the outstanding             shares of Series B Preferred Stock at any time following the first to occur of: (a) the Maturity Date (as defined in Section 5(A)(i)), (b) the delivery of an Acceleration Event Notice (as defined below) or (c) a Change in Control. Any such Election Notice shall specify a date upon which such redemption shall occur (the “Redemption Date”); provided, however, that if the redemption is related to the passing of the Maturity Date or a Change of Control, then (i) the Election Notice shall be given not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the requested Redemption Date, and (ii) at least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date the Corporation shall send a notice (a “Redemption Notice”) to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock setting forth (A) the Redemption Date, (B) the Redemption Price for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, and (C) the place at which such holders may obtain payment of their respective portions of the Total Redemption Price upon surrender of their share certificates. If redemption is being sought in connection with an Acceleration Event, the Corporation shall set the Redemption Date on a date as soon as practicable following the occurrence of the Acceleration Event, and shall send the Redemption Notice to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock as far as practicable in advance of the Redemption Date. The Corporation shall effect such redemption on the Redemption Date by paying the Redemption Price in exchange for each share of Series B Preferred Stock.
 
  (B)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may decline to redeem any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock (provided that any redemption in part shall be pro rata across holders) and in such

 


 

      case, the Preferred Dividend described in Section 3 shall increase from four percent (4%) per annum to ten percent (10%) per annum and shall be compounded semi-annually from the date of the Election Notice.
 
  (C)   Notwithstanding the above, any holder of Series B Preferred Stock may convert such shares into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6(A) prior to the date immediately preceding the Redemption Date.
 
  (D)   For purposes of this Section 5(A)(ii), an Acceleration Event shall consist of (i) any judgment against the Corporation in excess of $10,000,000 unless such judgment is stayed within sixty (60) days of the date of such judgment; (ii) any event of default under any indebtedness of the Corporation that causes $10,000,000 or more of such indebtedness to accelerate; or (iii) an event of bankruptcy, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar event. The Corporation shall, on the date an Acceleration Event (as defined below) occurs, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (but in no event later than five (5) days following the date of an Acceleration Event), provide a written notice to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock with a description of the facts giving rise to the Acceleration Event (the “Acceleration Event Notice”).”
     (b) Section 5(A)(iii) is hereby deleted in its entirety.
     (c) Section 5(B) is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:
               “(B) Method of Redemption.
                    (i) On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit the Total Redemption Price of the shares to be redeemed with a bank or trust company having aggregate capital and surplus in excess of $100,000,000, as a trust fund (an “Eligible Institution”), with irrevocable instructions and authority to the Eligible Institution to pay, on and after the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price of the shares to their respective holders upon the surrender of their share certificates. Any money deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5(B) for the redemption of shares thereafter converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof prior to the Redemption Date shall be returned to the Corporation forthwith upon such conversion, The balance of any funds deposited by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5(B) remaining unclaimed at the expiration of one (1) year following the Redemption Date shall be returned to the Corporation promptly upon its written request, and each holder of Preferred Stock shall thereafter look only to the Corporation for payment of the Redemption Price.

 


 

                    (ii) Each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such holder’s certificates representing such shares to the Corporation in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the holder of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price or the Corporation is unable to pay the Total Redemption Price, all rights of the holder of such shares as holder of Series B Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price per share without interest upon surrender of their certificates), shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided that in the event that any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Corporation, due to the election by the Corporation not to effect the redemption, pursuant to Section 5(A)(ii)(B), or because the Corporation does not have sufficient legally available funds, such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and shall be entitled to all of the rights and preferences provided herein until redeemed.”
* * *
     RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President, the Secretary, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, or any Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer of this Corporation are each authorized to execute, verify, and file the Amendment to Certificate of Designation of Preferences of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Minnesota law.

2002 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE
AND
STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose of Plan.
This Plan shall be known as the “XATA 2002 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AND STOCK OPTION PLAN” and is hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”. The purpose of the Plan is to aid in maintaining and developing personnel capable of assuring the future success of XATA Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), to offer such personnel additional incentives to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the business, and to afford them an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through stock options and other long-term incentive awards as provided herein. Options granted under this Plan may be either incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), or options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Awards granted under this Plan shall be stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock or performance awards as hereinafter described.
2. Stock Subject to Plan.
Subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof, the stock to be subject to options or other awards under the Plan shall be the Company’s authorized Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”). Such shares may be either authorized but unissued shares, or issued shares which have been reacquired by the Company. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 hereof, the maximum number of shares on which options may be exercised or other award issued under this Plan shall be 1,250,000 shares. If an option or award under the Plan expires, or for any reason is terminated or unexercised with respect to any shares, such shares shall again be available for options or awards thereafter granted during the term of the Plan.
3. Administration of Plan.
     (a) Except as provided in Section 3(d) hereof, the Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof. The members of any such committee shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no committee is appointed by the Board, the committee shall be comprised of all of the members of the Board of Directors. (The group administering the Plan shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Committee”.)
     (b) The Committee shall have plenary authority in its discretion, but subject to the express provisions of the Plan: (i) to determine the purchase price of the Common Stock covered by each option or award, (ii) to determine the employees to whom and the time or times at which such options and awards shall be granted and the number of shares to be subject to each, (iii) to determine the form of payment to be made upon the exercise of an SAR or in connection with performance awards, either cash, Common Shares of the Company or a combination thereof, (iv) to determine the terms of exercise of each option and award, (v) to accelerate the time at which all or any part of an option or award may be exercised, (vi) to amend or modify the terms of any option or award with the consent of the optionee, (vii) to interpret the Plan, (viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (ix) to determine the terms and provisions of each option and award agreement under the Plan (which agreements need not be identical), including the designation of those options intended to be Incentive Stock Options, and (x) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, subject to the exclusive authority of the Board of Directors under Section 15 herein to amend or

 


 

terminate the Plan. The Committee’s determinations on the foregoing matters, unless otherwise disapproved by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be final and conclusive.
     (c) The Committee may select one of its members as its Chairman and shall holds its meetings at such times and places as it may determine. A majority of its members shall constitute a quorum. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by not less than a majority of its members. Any decision or determination reduces to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if it had been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held. The grant of an option or award shall be effective only if a written agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered by and on behalf of the Company following such grant. The Committee may appoint a Secretary and may make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable.
     (d) Section 19 of the Plan shall be administered by the President and the Chief Financial Officer, whose construction and interpretation of the terms and provisions of such Sections shall be final and conclusive; provided that the numbers of Common Shares subject to options granted to Non-Employee Directors (defined below) under Section 19, the timing of the grants of such options (except as provided in Section 19), the eligibility for such options, and the terms and conditions of such options, shall be automatic and non-discretionary in accordance with the terms of such Section.
4. Eligibility.
     Incentive Stock options may only be granted under this Plan to any full or part-time employee (which term as used herein includes, but is not limited to, officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company and of its present and future subsidiary corporations (herein called “subsidiaries”). Full or part-time employees, non-employee members of the Board of Directors, and non-employee consultants, agents or independent contractors to the Company or one of its subsidiaries shall be eligible to receive options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options and awards. For purposes of Section 19 hereof, “Non-Employee Director,” means any member of the Board of Directors who is not at the time of option grant an employee of the Company. Non-Employee Directors shall be eligible for discretionary grants and awards under the Plan in addition to automatic option grants under Section 19. In determining the persons to whom options and awards shall be granted and the number of shares subject to each, the Committee may take into account the nature of services rendered by the respective employees or consultants, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant. A person who has been granted an option or award under this Plan may be granted additional options or awards under the Plan if the Committee shall so determine; provided, however, that for Incentive Stock Options, to the extent the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Common Shares with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an employee during any calendar year (under all plans described in subsection (d) of Section 422 of the Code of his employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Nothing in the Plan or in any agreement thereunder shall confer on any employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affect, in any way, the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment at the time.
5. Price.
     The option price for all Incentive Stock Options, for options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options, and if applicable, the price for all awards granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares at the date

2


 

of grant of such option or award. For purposes of the preceding sentence and for all other valuation purposes under the Plan, the fair market value of the Common Shares shall be as reasonably determined by the Committee. If on the date of grant of any option or award hereunder the Common Shares are not traded on an established securities market, the Committee shall make a good faith attempt to satisfy the requirements of this Section 5 and in connection therewith shall take such action as it deems necessary or advisable.
6. Term.
     Each option and award and all rights and obligations thereunder shall expire on the date determined by the Committee and specified in the option or award agreement. The Committee shall be under no duty to provide terms of like duration for options or awards granted under the Plan, but the term of an Incentive Stock Option may not extend more than ten (10) years from the date of grant of such option and the term of options granted under the Plan which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options may not extend more than fifteen (15) years from the date of granting of such option.
7. Exercise of Option or Award.
     (a) The Committee shall have full and complete authority to determine whether an option or award will be exercisable in full at any time or from time to time during the term thereof, or to provide for the exercise thereof in such installments, upon the occurrence of such events (such as termination of employment for any reason) and at such times during the term of the option as the Committee may determine and specify in the option or award agreement.
     (b) The exercise of any option or award granted hereunder shall only be effective at such time that the sale of Common Shares pursuant to such exercise will not violate any state or federal securities or other laws.
     (c) An optionee or grantee electing to exercise an option or award shall give written notice to the Company of such election and of the number of shares subject to such exercise. The full purchase price of such shares shall be tendered with such notice of exercise. Payment shall be made to the Company in cash (including bank check, certified check, personal check, or money order), or, at the discretion of the Committee and as specified by the Committee, (i) by delivering certificates for the Company’s Common Shares already owned by the optionee or grantee having a fair market value as of the date of grant equal to the full purchase price of the shares, (ii) by delivering a combination of cash and such shares, or (iii) by delivering (including by fax) to the Company or its designated agent an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin the Common Shares and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company to the extent required to pay the option exercise price.
     (d) The fair market value of the Common Shares which are tendered in payment of the exercise price shall be determined as provided in Section 5 herein.
     (e) Until such person has been issued the shares subject to such exercise, he or she shall possess no rights as a shareholder with respect to such shares.
8. Additional Restrictions.
     The Committee shall have full and complete authority to determine whether all or any part of the Common Shares of the Company acquired upon exercise of any of the options or awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to restrictions on the transferability thereof or any other restrictions affecting in

3


 

any manner the optionee’s or grantee’s rights with respect thereto, but any such restriction shall be contained in the agreement relating to such options or awards.
9. Alternative Stock Appreciation Rights.
     (a) Grant. At the time of grant of an option or award under the Plan (or at any other time), the Committee, in its discretion, may grant a Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”) evidenced by an agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. Any such SAR may be subject to restrictions on the exercise thereof as may be set forth in the agreement representing such SAR which agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions and any additional terms and conditions established by the Committee that are consistent with the terms of the Plan.
     (b) Exercise. An SAR shall be exercised by the delivery to the Company of a written notice which shall state that the holder thereof elects to exercise his or her SAR as to the number of shares specified in the notice and which shall further state what portion, if any, of the SAR exercise amount (hereinafter defined) the holder thereof requests be paid to in cash and what portion, if any, is to be paid in Common Shares of the Company. The Committee promptly shall cause to be paid to such holder the SAR exercise amount either in cash, in Common Shares of the Company, or any combination of cash and shares as the Committee may determine. Such determination may be either in accordance with the request made by the holder of the SAR or in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee. The SAR exercise amount is the excess of the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of exercise over the per share exercise price in respect of which the SAR was granted, multiplied by the number of shares as to which the SAR is exercised. For the purposes hereof, the fair market value of the Company’s shares shall be determined as provided in Section 5 herein.
10. Ten Percent Shareholder Rule.
     Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, if at the time an option is granted pursuant to the Plan the optionee owns directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Section 425(d) of the Code) Common Shares of the Company possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent or subsidiary corporations, if any (within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code), then any Incentive Stock Option to be granted to such optionee pursuant to the Plan shall satisfy the requirements of Section 422(c)(6) of the Code, and the option price shall be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Shares of the Company determined as described herein, and such option by its terms shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date such option is granted.
11. Non-Transferability.
     No Incentive Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by an optionee, otherwise than by will or the laws of descent or distribution. Except as otherwise provided in an option or award agreement, during the lifetime of an optionee or grantee, the option shall be exercisable only by such optionee or grantee.
12. Restricted Stock Awards.
     Awards of Common Shares subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions may be granted by the Committee. Any restricted stock award shall be evidenced by an agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which agreement shall comply with and be subject to the

4


 

following terms and conditions and any additional terms and conditions established by the Committee that are consistent with the terms of the Plan:
     (a) Grant of Restricted Stock Awards. Each restricted stock award made under the Plan shall be for such number of Common Share as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the agreement containing the terms of such restricted stock award. Such agreement shall set forth a period of time during which the grantee must remain in the continuous employment of the Company in order for the forfeiture and transfer restrictions to lapse. If the Committee so determines, the restrictions may lapse during such restricted period in installments with respect to specified portions of the shares covered by the restricted stock award. The agreement may also, in the discretion of the Committee, set forth performance or other conditions that will subject the Common Shares to forfeiture and transfer restrictions. The Committee may, at its discretion, waive all or any part of the restrictions applicable to any or all outstanding restricted stock awards.
     (b) Delivery of Common Shares and Restrictions. At the time of a restricted stock award, a certificate representing the number of Common Shares awarded thereunder shall be registered in the name of the grantee. Such certificate shall be held by the Company or any custodian appointed by the Company for the account of the grantee subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and shall bear such a legend setting forth the restrictions imposed thereon as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. The grantee shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the Common Shares, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such shares, subject to the following restrictions: (i) the grantee shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate until the expiration of the restricted period and the fulfillment of any other restrictive conditions set forth in the restricted stock agreement with respect to such Common Shares; (ii) none of the Common Shares may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during such restricted period or until after the fulfillment of any such other restrictive conditions; and (iii) except as otherwise determined by the Committee, all of the Common Shares shall be forfeited and all rights of the grantee to such Common Shares shall terminate, without further obligation on the part of the Company, unless the grantee remains in the continuous employment of the Company for the entire restricted period in relation to which such Common Shares were granted and unless any other restrictive conditions relating to the restricted stock award are met. Any Common Shares, any other securities of the Company and any other property (except for cash dividends) distributed with respect to the Common Shares subject to restricted stock awards shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as such restricted Common Shares.
     (c) Termination of Restrictions. At the end of the restricted period and provided that any other restrictive conditions of the restricted stock award are met, or at such earlier time as otherwise determined by the Committee, all restrictions set forth in the agreement relating to the restricted stock award or in the Plan shall lapse as to the restricted Common Shares subject thereto, and a stock certificate for the appropriate number of Common Shares, free of the restrictions and the restricted stock legend, shall be delivered to the grantee or his beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.
13. Performance Awards.
     The Committee is further authorized to grant Performance awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan and any applicable award agreement, a Performance award granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, Common Shares (including, without limitation, restricted stock), other securities, other awards, or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof rights valued as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and payable to, or exercisable by, the holder of the Performance awards, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish. Subject to the terms of this Plan

5


 

and any applicable award agreement, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance award granted, and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made by the granter and by the Company under any Performance award shall be determined by the Committee.
14. Dilution or Other Adjustments.
     If there shall be any change in the Common Shares through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, dividend in the form of stock (of whatever amount), stock split or other change in the corporate structure, appropriate adjustments in the Plan and outstanding options and awards shall be made by the Committee. In the event of any such changes, adjustments shall include, where appropriate, changes in the aggregate number of shares subject to the Plan, the number of shares and the price per share subject to outstanding options and awards and the amount payable upon exercise of outstanding awards, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of option or award rights.
15. Amendment or Discontinuance of Plan.
      The Board of Directors may amend or discontinue at any time. Subject to the provisions of Section 14 no amendment of the Plan, however, shall without shareholder approval: (i) increase the maximum number of shares under the Plan as provided in Section 2 herein, (ii) decrease the minimum price provided in Section 5 herein, (iii) extend the maximum term under Section 6, or (iv) modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan. The Board of Directors shall not alter or impair any option or award theretofore granted under the Plan without the consent of the holder of the option or award.
16. Time of Granting.
     Nothing contained in the Plan or in any resolution adopted or to be adopted by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders of the Company, and no action taken by the Committee or the Board of Directors (other than the execution and delivery of an option or award agreement), shall constitute the granting of an option or award hereunder.
17. Income Tax Withholding and Tax Bonuses.
     (a) In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of an optionee or grantee under the Plan, are withheld or collected from such optionee or grantee. In order to assist an optionee or grantee in paying all federal and state taxes to be withheld or collected upon exercise of an option or award which does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option hereunder, the Committee, in its absolute discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, shall permit the optionee or grantee to satisfy such tax obligation by (i) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise of such option or award with a fair market value, determined in accordance with Section 5 herein, equal to such taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company Common Shares other than the shares issuable upon exercise of such option or award with a fair market value, determined in accordance with Section 5, equal to such taxes.
     (b) The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of an option under the Plan or at any time thereafter, to approve tax bonuses to designated optionee or grantees to be paid upon their exercise of options or awards granted hereunder. The amount of any such payment shall be determined

6


 

by the Committee. The Committee shall have full authority in its absolute discretion to determine the amount of any such tax bonus and the terms and conditions affecting the vesting and payment thereafter.
18. Effective Date and Termination of Plan.
     (a) The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors effective December 7, 2001 and by the shareholders of the Company on February 26, 2002.
     (b) Unless the Plan shall have been discontinued as provided in Section 14 hereof, the Plan shall terminate February 26, 2012. No option or award may be granted after such termination, but termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the optionee or grantee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any option or award theretofore granted.
19. Automatic Grant of Non-Employee Director Options.
     Pursuant to this Section 19, each Non-Employee Director elected or re-elected to the Board on or after the date of the annual meeting of shareholders held in 2002 shall be granted automatically an option to purchase 5,000 Common Shares on the next business day following the annual shareholder meeting (as to each, a “Director Grant Date”) at which such director is elected or re-elected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the scheduled Director Grant Date, the President determines, in his discretion, that the Company is in possession of material, undisclosed information, then the grant of options will be suspended until the third day after public dissemination of such information. The President may only suspend the grant; the amount and other terms of the grant will remain as set forth in the Plan, with the exercise price of the option to be determined in accordance with the Plan on the date the option is finally granted.
     Each option granted under this Section to a Non-Employee Director shall be evidenced by an agreement, in a form approved by the President. Such agreement shall contain the following terms and conditions:
  a.   Term. Each option granted under Section 19 to a Non-Employee Director shall have a term of ten years and shall be immediately exercisable as to all Common Shares; provided, however that no shares of Common stock issued upon the exercise of an option may be sold or otherwise disposed of until six months after the Director Grant Date of the option.
 
  b.   Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of options granted under Section 19 shall be 100% of the fair market value of one Common Share on the Director Grant Date.

(b)   This Agreement shall not confer on Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such employment at any time. Optionee shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to shares subject to this option until such shares shall have been issued to Optionee upon exercise of this option.
(c)   The exercise of all or any parts of this option shall only be effective at such time that the sale of Common Shares pursuant to such exercise will not violate any state or federal securities or other laws.

Such adjustments shall include, where appropriate, changes in the number of shares of Common Shares and the price per share subject to the outstanding option.

    income tax deduction which may be available to it under the circumstances, Optionee shall promptly notify the Company of the dates of acquisition and disposition of such shares, the number of shares so disposed of, and the consideration, if any, received for such shares. In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to insure (i) notice to the Company of any disposition of the Common Shares of the Company within the time periods described above and (ii) that, if necessary, all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes are withheld or collected from Optionee.
