General

         Teltronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, designs, installs, develops, manufactures and markets electronic hardware and application software products, and engages in electronic manufacturing services primarily in the telecommunication industry.

        Management utilizes criteria provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 to define its operating segments. This standard defines an operating segment as a component of an enterprise (1) which engages in business activities from which it earns sales and incurs expenses, (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprises chief operating decision maker and (3) for which discrete financial information is available.

        The Company’s operations are classified into three reportable segments, Teltronics, Inc., Teltronics Limited (“UK”) and Mexico. Operating segment data for 2005, 2004 and 2003 are summarized in Note 16 in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II and are incorporated herein by reference.

Our Financial Condition

        The Company has generated operating profits and net income in the last two years. While net sales have been relatively flat over the past three years the Company’s efforts to reduce operating costs since 2001 has had a positive impact on its annual results. The seasonality of the business continues to have a negative impact on the Company’s quarterly results with eight out of the last twelve quarters reflecting net losses.

        During 2005 the Company implemented several actions to improve its balance sheet. In July the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) under which the Company obtained a three year $3,000 term loan and was granted an $8,000 revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company used approximately $8,100 under the facility to satisfy the Company’s debt under its previous line of credit and a secured promissory note. The Company recognized a gain of $3,897 or $0.48 per share on the satisfaction of the secured promissory note.

        In October 2005, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Tri-Link Technologies Inc. (“Tri-Link”) under which all arbitration and legal proceedings were settled. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $1,000 and issued 750,000 restricted shares of the

1


Company’s Common Stock and a $750 note to Tri-Link in exchange for the Company’s original promissory note in the amount of $2,250. The Company recognized a gain of $211 on the transaction.

        In addition to the foregoing actions, we have been actively seeking additional capital and considering ways to further enhance our capital structure. There is no assurance; however, that we will successfully consummate any such capital raising transaction.

Our Strategy

        The decline in the telecommunications and electronics industries over the past few years has resulted in a change in our overall business strategy. Our principal strategy is to provide quality voice and data products and other telecommunication services to the marketplace and to deliver these products and services in the most cost effective manner.

        We continue to manufacture our own products as we believe this enables us to be more responsive to our customers, as well as providing an additional source of revenue through our ability to provide electronic manufacturing services. We have invested in facilities that will allow us to expand our manufacturing for our existing product lines and accommodate an increase in our electronic manufacturing services business.

TELTRONICS, INC. SEGMENT

Intelligent Systems Management

        In the early 1980‘s, telecommunications sales and service providers were looking for ways to differentiate themselves. Competitive pressures significantly eroded margins on sales of equipment, and interconnects began to concentrate more on service to address decreasing sales and margins. This initiative led to the development of enhanced service offerings to their customers, and the Teltronics alarms monitoring, or Intelligent Systems Management (“ISM”) product line was designed to capitalize on this strategy. The ISM products maintained a leadership role in alarms monitoring for voice networks throughout the ‘80‘s and ‘90‘s, but the new century ushered in new technologies and the convergence of voice communications and data communications gained momentum. This convergence is accelerating and the ISM Product line is adapting to the changes.

        This convergence is presenting a new wave of challenges to service companies and end users as they struggle to manage an entirely new generation of products. The current focus of Teltronics’ ISM business unit is to adapt our marketing and product strategy to take advantage of these service opportunities and maintain a leadership position in this market. In addition, we are enhancing the product line to expand into the government and industrial markets.

         Market.    The ISM product line offers a set of tools for any organization that must manage a geographically dispersed population of voice and data systems. The ISM products are ideal for large service organizations, self-maintained enterprises, and various branches of the military. These tools allow the service organization to better utilize their manpower and reduce costs, while providing a higher level of service.

         Products.     The ISM product line consists of two major components…Remote Agents and a Management Information System (“MIS”). Together these products create an integrated approach to monitoring the health of a diverse population of customer systems. Central to the ISM product strategy is vendor independence, since few customers have a homogenous population of systems to manage. Combining the ISM products with professional services, we offer a total solution for managing voice and data systems that are critical to the success of enterprises in the 21st century.

        Remote Agents.    A Remote Agent is special-purpose microcomputer device, collocated with voice or data system, that are to be monitored and managed. The Agent is designed to operate in a totally unattended environment, detect events in a wide variety of customer equipment, and report selected events to MIS. Reporting may be via a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), the Internet, or the public telephone network. The Agent is a very intelligent system that is capable of acting alone to collect events and make decisions about what is reported. In addition the Agent may take action,

2


autonomously or when instructed to do so, to correct problems as they occur. Remote Agents also monitor and report on environmental conditions that impact sensitive telecom and datacom equipment and have the ability to store and forward performance information and other metrics generated by these systems. The Remote Agent provides a secure communications path that allows the service organization to access the critical systems remotely.

        For more than a decade, the Site Event Buffer-II® (“SEB-II”) has been the workhorse Remote Agent in the ISM stable. During that time more than 100,000 units have been installed worldwide. The SEB-II was designed primarily for monitoring voice communications systems that were not network-enabled. This product will be phased out of the product line at the end of the year. The Site Event Buffer Enterprise Agent® (“SEBea®”), introduced in the fourth quarter of 2002, is the third generation of Remote Agent in the ISM product line. The SEBea is designed around a significantly more powerful computing engine and is network enabled to allow management of voice, data, and converged systems. The SEBea supports all features of previous generations of SEB products while offering services such as a Simple Network Protocol (“SNMP”) Proxy Agent, SNMP Segment Manager and greatly expanded environmental monitoring through a range of internal sensors. In addition, the SEBea can monitor up to eight directly attached elements (serial) and a wide range of network elements (Ethernet/IP/SNMP). Recently introduced, NET-PATH® and NET-PATHm, are fifth generation ISM agents. NET-PATH is housed in a streamlined, robust, IU metal chassis similar to a routers and other data communications equipment. NET-PATHm is specifically designed for entry level applications and is priced aggressively to capture new business. Both agents deliver all the same features as the SEBea.

        Management Information System.    Following the classic network management model, a Remote agent must report to a MIS. IRISnGEN® is a comprehensive software package used by service organizations as well as the enterprise, to receive and process events from the Remote Agents. Remote Agents, that are monitoring customer equipment, report events to the IRISnGEN software. These events may represent alarm conditions or may simply be status information to indicate that everything is working properly. Using IRISnGEN software, the service organization often identifies and resolves problems before the customer is aware of them. IRISnGEN software is also used to collect data stored in Remote Agents and direct the data to the proper software application for processing. The software also provides the tools required to manage Remote Agents and access network elements for routine maintenance.

        A database of network element alarms is maintained in IRISnGEN so that the service organization or enterprise may obtain reports on alarm status at any time. Comprehensive reports that provide statistical analysis of received alarms are also available. Service personnel use the reports to isolate faulty components, identify trends, and track the historical performance of network elements. IRISnGEN is viable for small enterprises with only a few remote sites, yet scales to accommodate large service companies with thousands of remote customers. IRISnGEN has a flexible design that allows the users to tune the system to meet their particular business needs. Geographical alarm display, alarm escalation, alarm correlation, and alarm forwarding are just a few of the capabilities of IRISnGEN. Heavy emphasis is placed on graphics and ad-hoc reporting capabilities. A comprehensive Application Program Interface (API) was introduced to assist customers in integrating IRISnGEN with legacy management systems and databases.

        In 2003, a major new software module, Equipment Explorer, was introduced to expand the feature set of the IRISnGEN. Equipment Explorer provides real-time status of bi-polar events and allows point and click control actions to be executed directly to remote monitored equipment for proactive fault resolution. IRISnGEN has traditionally been an events-based system, with new events being displayed as they occur. The status of the event in the viewer is completely controlled by the service engineer who can modify the event status by manually changing it to open or closed. Equipment Explorer handles events in a different manner by employing a new iconic viewer to provide real-time status information for monitored sites or equipment at specific sites. Equipment Explorer can work as a standalone product or in concert with the IRISnGEN Basic Alarms and MapViewer modules to provide the best of both worlds. This module has allowed the ISM product line to move into new military and industrial markets.

Digital Switching Systems

        20-20™ Switching Systems. The 20-20 family of switching products was acquired on June 30, 2000, from Harris. The 20-20 is a digital switching system that has been deployed in mission critical applications throughout the world. The 20-20 may be expanded up to 9,600 ports for very large applications and is generally cost effective down to about 300 ports. This switching product may be configured for fully redundant common control when system availability is critical, such as in large call centers or critical government applications. A variant of the 20-20 is used in FAA ground-to-air and ground-to-ground applications where down time must be in the order of less than 5 seconds in a year. Known for its robust computer-telephony interface, the 20-20 has been used by systems integrators throughout the world for large custom applications as well as “local dial tone” in small central office applications.

        The 20-20 has been certified and homologated in over 60 countries worldwide. International signaling and transmission protocols have been developed, including international flavors of ISDN and SS7, to permit its use virtually anywhere in the world. Teltronics will continue to focus on developing practical, cost-effective solutions and applications for the 20-20 customers.

        A new 512 port IXP shelf will be introduced mid year. The new shelf can be used with exiting or new 20-20 IXP systems. This new shelf will reduce the number of shelves required to reach system maximum capacity by 50%, reducing system costs to better compete in the more competitive traditional PBX applications.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”)

         Cypreon™.    Cypreon is a VoIP switching system specifically designed to meet the needs of small to medium sized enterprises (both single-site and multi-location). The system combines the high speed access of broadband, the reliability of modern telecommunications, and the power of full-featured network servers to provide high quality voice and data communications to employees whether they work at the office, at home, or around the globe.

        The system can sit behind an existing legacy PBX to provide VoIP functionality, or connect directly to the PSTN and IP networks. It supports standard analog and digital trunk connections to the PSTN plus WAN gateway connections to corporate WANs and even the internet for VoIP call transmission. The system supports portal-to-portal VoIP and cost-saving “jump off” capability that enables users to transmit voice calls over the IP network to achieve long distance cost savings then “jump off” and complete the final miles over the PSTN. Simplicity of installation, programming, and administration/use are some of Cypreon’s most appealing benefits. Intuitive, easy to use graphical administration tools take the complexity out of system installation and administration, and Cypreon’s Fingertip Toolset™ enables employees to manage their own workstation settings and launch powerful integrated application suites at the touch of a button.

        Linux-based Cypreon supports up to a total of 350 ports, including up to 200 IP phones, WAN Gateways to provide portal-to-portal VoIP, plus PSTN Gateways to support up to 128 Analog trunks and/or phones and up to 96 T1 PRI/120 E1 PRI trunks. The target Cypreon market is users with single or multi-site campus environments with less than 200 phones.

        Cypreon is fully compatible with Session Initiation Protocol “SIP”. A new family of SIP phones will be introduced in the second quarter of 2006, to augment our own executive phones.

        20-20™ Switching Systems. The Company continues to invest in engineering development to maintain and expand capabilities to include IP Telephony convergence. With the introduction of IP Telephony gateways, the more than 15,000 20-20 end users can upgrade their systems, allowing them to retain the existing 20-20 system investments.

        CERATO™, a new family of products, will be introduced in the second quarter of 2006. The new family will include a number of VoIP remote gateways that will support Analog, Digital and VoIP subscribers as well as Analog and Digital Trunks. These gateways will be used to provide cost effective communications between home office and remote offices using the latest VoIP technologies. This new

4


family of products will also include a family of CERATO communications terminals that support terminations to traditional Digital Subscriber cards as well as VoIP networks. These new communication terminals will be introduced at the end of the second quarter. A new family of high density communication blades will be introduced along with a new high density CERATO communications server. The high density blades will support 128 Direct VoIP terminations, 4 T1/E1 Digital trunks, 32 Analog Subscribers, 32 Digital Subscribers, 32 Analog LS/GS trunks. An embedded SIP server will be included in the CERATO family gateways and communications servers.

Customer Contact Management Systems

         OmniWorks® (formerly known as ContactWorks™).  This product was also a part of the 20-20 acquisition of June 30, 2000. OmniWorks is a Windows client-server based, sophisticated multi-media customer contact and management system for use by enterprise operations whose mission includes receiving or launching large numbers of telephone calls. The product also has the capability of receiving or launching large quantities of emails, or accommodating real time web-based responses to product/services queries through “chat” sessions. The system detects information about callers, organizes the calls according to predetermined priorities, places the calls in “queues” to be serviced by employees, and may even route the calls based on the “skills” of the call handlers (“skills-based routing”). The database of the current product is Microsoft SQL® and may be fully redundant on separate servers. Originally designed to work with the 20-20 as its “switching fabric”, the Company’s goal is to migrate OmniWorks towards switch-independence, and ultimately it should be able to be deployed behind virtually any switch type in the industry including the Teltronics Cypreon IP product.

        OmniWorks may be deployed in small call centers with only a few agents or call handlers, or it may be used in large, complex applications with hundreds of agents. OmniWorks is available to any of the Company’s distribution partners with support from its professional services group; however, the target market is larger users with sophisticated IT requirements and infrastructures.

Emergency Response Systems

        Telident Enterprise Systems. Teltronics believes it occupies a unique position in the telecommunications industry by marketing a comprehensive product line that addresses both the public safety and private business sectors of E911 marketplace.

        In the public safety systems sector our Telident ANI Controller products offer a complete solution to the emergency services agencies of states, counties and municipalities. These products are designed to ensure timely and accurate response to 911 calls. Over 900 Public Service Answering Points (“PSAP”) throughout the country use these systems to protect lives and property.

        In the business sector, the Telident Enterprise Systems product line provides life saving information about 911 calls made by users of PBXs and other telephone systems. Few people realize that emergency response personnel may find it impossible to locate a 911 caller in a multi-building business or on a college campus. This life-threatening problem is the result of a public E911 system that never contemplated modern telecommunications technology such as PBX’s and wireless extensions. The Telident Enterprise Systems products are designed to ensure that emergency personnel receive the information needed to quickly and accurately locate a 911 caller. Our Station Translation System™, and Database Maintenance software are installed in over 1,000 businesses of all sizes.

Electronic Manufacturing Services

        Teltronics provides electronic manufacturing services for companies in the telecommunications, industrial control, test and measurement and other computer-related industries. Services include design and test ability reviews, turnkey material procurement and management, automated through-hole or surface mount circuit board assembly, in-circuit and functional test, and final mechanical integration. Teltronics’ manufacturing operations are certified to ISO Q9001 — 2000, BABT 340. The manufacturing facility is also UL registered. Through our quality certifications, Teltronics has established and demonstrated effective procedures and processes that ensure that all products are manufactured, installed and serviced under a quality system, which carries an internationally recognized and certified level of excellence.

5


        Teltronics’ current manufacturing capacity should allow for increased growth of the Company’s existing product lines and accommodate an increase in electronic manufacturing services business.

Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights

        We rely on patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright laws both to protect our intellectual property, including our proprietary technology, and to protect us against claims from others. We believe that we have direct intellectual property rights covering substantially all our material technologies. We currently hold a world-wide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up license to make, use and sell the inventions under approximately 30 U.S patents and numerous international patents and patent applications relating to the 20-20 digital switching product line. We consider the patents relating to our digital switching products to be the most important to our business. The patents relating to the 20-20 digital switching systems expire on various dates between 2005 and 2019. We also currently own 5 U.S. patents relating to emergency 9-1-1 call station identification features and a personal translator device for assisting communications. We have approximately 30 registered trademarks in the United States, of which we consider the 20-20 and the SEBea to be our most valuable. We license some technology from third parties that we use in providing manufacturing services to our customers. We believe that such licenses are generally available on commercial terms from a number of licensors. Generally, the agreements governing such technology grant us non-exclusive licenses regarding the subject technology and terminate upon a material breach by us.

        The Company also seeks to protect its confidential and proprietary information through the enforcement of confidentiality and non-compete agreements presently executed by key employees.

Component Procurement

        The Company assembles all of its products at its manufacturing facility in Sarasota, Florida. All components used in the assembly of the Company’s products are purchased from distributors and manufacturers.

        Purchase orders for components are placed from one month to six months in advance, depending on the supply sensitivity of a particular component. Most components are available from several sources, based upon current price quotations. If these suppliers should stop carrying or manufacturing components for the Company, the Company’s operations could be adversely affected until alternative sources are located and increased operating costs could result from product re-engineering required to use such substitute components. Certain electronic components used in the Company’s products are purchased through American distributors from sources outside of the United States. The costs of such components increase as the value of the United States dollar decreases in relation to foreign currencies. In addition, the availability of such components may be affected by factors external to the United States, including war, civil strife, embargo and export or import restrictions. Although there can be no assurance for the future, the Company has not experienced and does not anticipate experiencing any significant difficulty in purchasing components.

Backlog

        The Company’s backlog at December 31, 2005 was approximately $14,610, as compared to $14,600 at December 31, 2004. The Company’s backlog is for orders that have scheduled deliveries or maintenance over the next twelve months, and is not an indication that the Company is unable to fulfill these requirements. Given the nature of our relationships with our customers, we allow our customers to reschedule deliveries, and therefore, backlog is not necessarily indicative of our future financial results.

Seasonality

        The Company has experienced seasonality due in part to purchasing tendencies of our customers during the fourth and first quarters of each year. Consequently, results for the fourth and first quarters of each year are not as strong as results during the other quarters. The sales of the Company continued to be impacted by the general slowdown of telecommunications expenditures.

6


Customers

        Our core strategy is to establish and maintain long-term relationships with leading telecommunications customers. A small number of customers have historically represented a major portion of our net sales. The table below sets forth the respective portion of net sales for the applicable period attributable to our customers who individually accounted for more than 10% of our net sales in any respective period:

  Years Ended Decmeber 31,
2005
2004
2003
          New York City Department of Education 19%    14%    17%   
          IBM 10%    12%    14%   
          Nielsen Media Research 7%    10%    13%   


        We expect to continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of our net revenue. The historic percentages in the table above are not necessarily indicative of the percentage of net sales that we may receive from any customer in the future.

Competition

        The telecommunications network industry is highly competitive. The Company has one significant competitor with its ISM product group, Ion Networks, Inc. The Company has many competitors in the Digital Switching Systems product group with the dominant players being Lucent and NORTEL. Management of the Company believes the Company’s products are competitive in price, product performance, warranty, technology and service.

Research and Product Development

        The Company maintains continuing research and development efforts directed toward enhancement of its existing product lines and development of new products. The Company’s research and development expenditures during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $3,673, $3,114 and $4,191, respectively.

Regulatory

        Federal Communications Commission.   The Company must comply with certain regulatory guidelines. Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Rules (“Part 68”) contains the majority of the technical requirements with which telephone systems must comply to qualify for FCC registration for interconnection to the public telephone network. Part 68 registration represents a determination by the FCC that telecommunication equipment interfacing with the public telephone network complies with certain interference parameters and other technical specifications. FCC registration for the Company’s products has been granted and the Company intends to apply for FCC registration for all of its new products.

        Certain of the Company’s products are also subject to and comply with regulation under Part 15 of the FCC Rules (“Part 15”) which requires equipment classified as containing a Class A computing device to meet certain radio and television signal interference requirements. Notwithstanding this minimum compliance; however, Part 15 provides that operators of equipment containing Class A computing devices may be required to take whatever steps are necessary to correct radio and television interference caused by operation of such equipment in a residential area.

        Environmental.    We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing process. Although we believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with all material environmental regulations, any failure to comply with present and future regulations could subject us to future liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, such regulations could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expense to comply with environmental regulations.

        We lease a facility in Whitestone, New York that is the base of our technical support group. This lease expires in August 2010.

        The Company also leases offices in several locations under leases expiring at various dates. We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate for our current needs.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        The Company from time to time is involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, management believes that it has adequate legal defenses or has provided adequate accruals for related costs such that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position or results of operations.

        In October 2005, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Tri-Link Technologies Inc. and Hargan-Global Ventures, Inc. under which all arbitration and legal proceedings between the parties were settled and mutual releases were exchanged. See “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations”.

        At the Company’s annual shareholder meeting in November 2005, a representative of FGC Holdings Ltd. (“FGC”) was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors by the holder of its Series B Preferred Stock. The appointment concludes, with the exception of a request by FGC that the Company pay its attorney fees which is still pending, the litigation initiated by FGC against the Company.

        The Company was a party to a lawsuit filed in the State of New York alleging that the various defendants who entered into contracts with the New York Department of Education, did not insure that a subcontractor paid its employees in accordance with the prevailing wage rate required by the State of New York. In October 2005, the parties entered into a Settlement, Covenant Not to Sue and Release Agreement. The Company was not required to pay any damages under this agreement.

        The Company historically has not paid cash dividends on its common stock. The Company intends to retain all of its earnings for the future operation and growth of its business and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        This management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K.

        A number of statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as we “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives, strategies or goals are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may materially adversely affect the anticipated results. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the timely development and market acceptance of products and technologies, competitive market conditions, successful integration of acquisitions, the ability to secure additional sources of financing, the ability to reduce operating expenses, and other factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements made herein and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made herein are only made as of the date of this Form 10-K and we disclaim any obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

General Overview

        The Company focuses on three major telecommunications markets. The first is the monitoring of alarms from PBXs, voice mail systems and data networks. This market is referred to as the Intelligent Systems Management market for which the product is sold directly to service companies to enable them to be pro-active in maintaining their systems. Typical service companies are companies such as Verizon, NextiraOne (formerly Williams Communications), Southwestern Bell (new AT&T), Telus and BellSouth. The Company maintains a sales force nationwide to service these major customers. The Company has been successful in not only increasing the number of products sold to these customers, but also finding new service company customers. Typically the sales cycle would be six months to eighteen months while the customer tests the product before installation. A new customer would then purchase an IRISnGEN, which is a centralized piece of software that monitors the alarms at the remote sites. At the remote sites, the Company provides one of its SEB-II’s or an SEBea, which is an alarms management, monitoring, pro-active computerized device. The Company expects to continue to invest in research and development to develop, not only next generation versions of the centralized Windows® NT based software (IRISnGEN), but also the SEB hardware including NET-PATH®.

        The second telecommunications market is in the Digital Switching Systems arena which involves providing telephone switches to Small and Medium Business Markets (“SMB”) as well as advanced Automatic Call Distribution. The Company’s premier product in this market is the 20-20™ switching system.

        The 20-20 switching system offers a price competitive solution from 300 ports to just under 10,000. The 20-20 products are being sold both directly and through distributors, particularly outside the USA.

        The 20-20 switching system is technically approved by, and has been installed in, over 60 countries. Teltronics continues to support the international channels and the distributors of the 20-20 switching system sell to and provide installation and support for their customers.

        Teltronics also has some significant direct customers, in particular the New York City Department of Education, the City of New York Department of Corrections and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. These installations are supported by our organization in Whitestone, New York.

        The Company also offers a Contact Center product, OmniWorks. The product continues to be enhanced and the product now provides, web chat, e-mail, and multimedia to the Contact Center.

13


        The third telecommunications market is VoIP. The Company entered this market in the fourth quarter of 2003 with the introduction of Cypreon. Cypreon combines the power of voice, data and video into a single, robust and feature rich solution. The market focus of this product is the SMB. Cypreon allows these businesses to embrace cost and time saving advances previously reserved for only the largest of corporations.

        The system supports all the telephony features expected from a business communication PCX platform designed to address the requirements of small to medium enterprises, plus a variety of applications to enhance, streamline, and personalize business communications. Feature support includes most standard telephony functions, such as multi-party conference at the desktop, rules based call forwarding, message indication, hot desking, night service, attendant console support, and call park/page/pickup. A few of Cypreon’s initial applications include unified messaging, voicemail, speech enabled automated attendant, contact center and contact management applications.

        Cypreon’s ability to provide fully featured telephony functions, complimented and enhanced by intelligent call control applications, make it an attractive overall solution for improving, streamlining, and personalizing both internal and external business communications. One of the key features of the system is the simplified administration. Its browser based administrative interface makes programming and maintaining the system very user friendly.

        Cypreon is designed to operate as both a single site and enterprise solution. The ability to interconnect multiple systems over an IP WAN allows hundreds of users independent of physical location to be seamlessly interconnected.

        The Company continues to invest in engineering development to maintain and expand its 20-20 switching systems capabilities to include IP Telephony convergence. With the introduction of IP Telephony gateways, the more than 15,000 20-20 end users can upgrade their systems, allowing them to retain the existing 20-20 system investments.

        Additionally, the Company has been successful in manufacturing its own products. To supplement its own business, the Company also sells electronic manufacturing services to companies that require high quality, but have low volume manufacturing demand. This enables the Company to maximize its production facility and more effectively absorb overhead costs.

        The Company has experienced seasonality due in part to purchasing tendencies of our customers during the fourth and first quarters of each year. Consequently, results for the fourth and first quarters of each year are not as strong as results during the other quarters.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates because the estimates represent judgments made at specific dates for events that are ongoing. Critical accounting policies have the potential to have the most significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. We have disclosed all significant accounting policies including our critical accounting policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

        Our most critical accounting policies revolve around the manner in which the Company recognizes revenues and are summarized as follows:


14


Revenue recognition

        Manufacturing.    Revenues from sales of product, including our electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when title and risk of loss passes, which is generally when the product is shipped. Based on the Company’s history of providing manufacturing services, we believe that collectibility is reasonably assured.

        Turnkey Contracts.    Certain of the Company’s customers purchase equipment on a turnkey basis under which the Company agrees to provide the equipment, install the equipment and train the customers personnel. On those contracts in which the customer accepts ownership of the individual deliverables, a general right of return exists on the deliverable and it is both probable and substantially within the Company’s control to deliver the remaining elements, revenues will be recognized as the customer accepts the deliverables.

        For those customers that only accept multiple deliverable projects at the conclusion of the project, revenue is recognized under either the completed contract method or the percentage-of-completion method depending on the right to require the customer to make progress payments to support their ownership investment and to approve the services performed to date if they meet the contract requirements. If the percentage-of-completion method is used, revenues and related costs are recognized as work on a contract progresses. The progress of a contract in terms of recognizing revenue and related costs is based on satisfying the milestones for the specific contract. Provision is made for any anticipated contract losses in the period that the loss becomes evident.

        Maintenance and Service.    Revenue from support and maintenance activities is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period and the unrecognized portion is included in deferred revenue. Costs from support and maintenance activities are recognized when the related revenue is recognized or when those costs are incurred, whichever occurs first.

        Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.    Certain of the Company’s arrangements include multiple deliverables, which consist of product, installation, and training. In the absence of higher-level specific authoritative guidance, the Company determines the units of accounting for multiple element arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Specifically, the Company will consider a delivered item as a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a standalone basis, if there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, and, if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered element, delivery or performance of the undelivered element is considered probable and is substantially within the Company’s control.

Impairments

        If the carrying value of an asset, including associated intangibles and goodwill, exceeds the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value.

Inventory obsolescence

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. In the electronics and telecommunications industry technology changes rapidly and, accordingly, a considerable amount of judgment is used when evaluating inventories for the level of obsolescence.

        The following is a discussion of results of operations for each of the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The statements regarding the telecommunications industry, our expectations regarding our future performance and other non-historical statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements.

Net Sales and Gross Profit Margin (in thousands)

        Net sales increased $184 or .4% for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Net sales decreased $840 or 1.8% for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.

        The increase in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily the result of an increase of $200 in net sales from our UK subsidiary and an increase of $400 in the US offset with a $420 decrease in the Mexico subsidiary. The overall increase in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily the result of improved sales in the 20/20 market, offset by the ongoing downturn in the Intelligent Systems Management market as customers switch from the Time Division Multiplexing technology to the Internet Protocol technology. The decrease in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily the result of the lingering slow down of the domestic telecommunications market which resulted in a net sales decrease of $2,600 in Teltronics and an increase of $1,973 in net sales from the newly acquired Teltronics Ltd. subsidiary.

        Gross profit margin, excluding the effect of the provision for slow moving inventories, for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was 41.6%, 41.3% and 41.3%, respectively.

Operating Expenses

        Recurring operating expenses were $16,990, $17,320 and $19,883 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In October 2005, the Company recorded an additional $1,583 charge for the impairment of assets associated with capitalized software. In June 2003, the Company reduced its work force by approximately 15% to reduce costs. The related severance costs of approximately $175 for the eliminated positions were recorded in June 2003.

16


2005

        General and administrative expenses decreased $21 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The net decrease for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily the result of the following items: (a) a decrease of $112 in legal fees, (b) a decrease of $93 in the provision for doubtful accounts, (c) a $61 decrease in software licensing and support, (d) a decrease of $58 in rent and telephone expense. These decreases were partially offset with a $295 increase in compensation and benefits expenses primarily associated with the replacement of personnel.

        Sales and marketing expenses decreased $322 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The net decrease for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily the result of the following items: (a) a $207 decrease in rent and (b) $140 decrease in travel, meals and entertainment, and tradeshows.

        Research and development expenses increased $559 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The net increase for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily the result of a $514 increase in wages and benefits related to an increase in headcount.

        Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $546 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The net decrease for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily the result of lower asset purchases and older assets becoming fully depreciated.

2004

        General and administrative expenses decreased $625 for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The net decrease for the year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily a result of the following items: (a) a $287 decrease in wages and benefits related to the 2003 reduction in force and departure of personnel in 2004, (b) a $200 decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts, (c) a $219 decrease in public company related expenses, (d) an $84 decrease in rent, and (e) a $51 decrease in 401(k) expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $191 increase in professional fees.

        Sales and marketing expenses decreased $684 for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The net decrease for the year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily a result of the following items: (a) a $482 decrease in wages and benefits related to the 2003 reduction in force and departure of personnel in 2004, (b) a $335 decrease in commissions, (c) a $199 decrease in telephone, travel, meals and entertainment, (d) a $79 decrease in professional fees, (e) a $77 decrease in advertising and marketing, and (f) a $64 decrease in rent. These decreases were partially offset by a $546 increase in UK expenses that consisted primarily of wages, benefits and professional fees. The increase in UK expenses was a result of the SMARTCALL acquisition effective February 1, 2004.

        Research and development expenses decreased $1,077 for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The net decrease for the year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily a result of the following items: (a) a $631 decrease in wages and benefits related to the 2003 reduction in force and departure of personnel in 2004, (b) a $361 decrease in operating supplies at our research facilities, and (c) a $23 decrease in professional fees.

Other Income (Expense)

        For the year ended December 31, 2005, interest expense decreased $377, and non-operating gains increase $3,455 as compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease in interest costs was primarily the result of the restructuring of the debt. The non-operating gain of $4,689 was primarily related to the gain of $3,897 associated with the satisfaction of a secured promissory note, $450 associated with the sale of patents and $211 associated with the settlement of the Tri-link debt.

        For the year ended December 31, 2004, interest expense decreased $35, and other expenses decreased $26 as compared to the same period in 2003. The decrease in financing costs was primarily related to the termination of certain professional services as of December 31, 2003, which was partially

17


offset by the costs associated with the extension of the exercise period of certain warrants and the financing fees from an investment services firm and related party. The gain on sale of patents of $1,233 was related to the sale of 20-20™ patents previously acquired from Harris Corporation in 2000 that were sold back to Harris Corporation in August 2004 in exchange for past due principal and interest on the Company’s debt owed to Harris Corporation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities

        Net cash used in operating activities was $1,110 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $1,110 was comprised of the following items: (a) net income of $3,816, (b) net non-cash income of $1,291, (c) an increase in operating assets of $4,010 and (d) an increase in operating liabilities of $375. The net increase in operating assets was primarily the result of an increase in inventory of $2,366 and a $1,026 increase in accounts receivable. The increased inventory, of which $1,618 is raw materials, resulted from the increased purchasing to meet forecasted demand which the Company was not able to fulfill in 2005 due to capacity constraints in the fourth quarter. The increase in accounts receivable is the result of increased sales in the fourth quarter. The net increase in operating liabilities was primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable of $672, attributable in part to the inventory increase sited above, and offset with a $243 decrease in billings in excess of estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. The net non-cash income in 2005 of $1,291 was primarily comprised of the following items: (a) other non-operating gains of $4,603, which included the gain on the extinguishment of debt, offset with, (b) impairment of fixed assets of $1,582, (c) depreciation and amortization of $1,446, and (d) provision for slow moving inventories of $214.

        Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1,570 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The $1,570 was comprised of the following items: (a) net income of $539, (b) net non-cash expenses of $1,739, (c) an increase in operating assets of $828 and (d) an increase in operating liabilities of $120. The net increase in operating assets was primarily a result of an increase in accounts receivable of $2,015, which was partially offset by a decrease in inventories of $1,030. The net increase in operating liabilities was primarily a result of an increase in accounts payable of $455, which was partially offset by a decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts of $250. The net non-cash expenses in 2004 of $1,739 were comprised primarily of the following items: (a) depreciation and amortization of $1,996, (b) gain on sale of patents of $1,233 and (c) provision for slow moving inventories of $745.

        Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $827 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The $827 was comprised of the following items: (a) net loss of $3,303, (b) non-cash expenses of $3,460, (c) a net decrease in operating assets of $1,182 and (d) a net decrease in operating liabilities of $512. The net decrease in operating assets was primarily a result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,346. The net decrease in operating liabilities was primarily a result of a decrease in billings in excess of cost, estimated earnings on uncompleted projects, accrued expenses, and deferred revenue that totaled $1,363. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $851. The non-cash expenses in 2003 of $3,460 were comprised primarily of the following items: (a) provision for slow moving inventories of $1,060, (b) depreciation and amortization of $1,830, (c) compensation of $200 and (d) provision for doubtful accounts of $249.

Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities

        Net cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $176 for the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily driven by the $495 proceeds from the sale of the iCommunicator patent offset with acquisitions of property and equipment.

        Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $642 for the year ended December 31, 2004 as the Company acquired $256 of property and equipment to support its operations and made payments of $386 for inventories and customer contracts and relationships in connection with its acquisition of SMARTCALL Limited.

18


        Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $841 as the Company acquired property and equipment to support its operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 and includes $250 related to the Tri-Link acquisition.

Net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities

        Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 were approximately $572. The Company had net borrowings on its line of credit of $2,558 and net principal repayments of $2,011. Additionally, the Company paid dividends on the Preferred Series B convertible stock of $227. The Company also entered into a $250 long term loan with an entity controlled by a Director of the Company.

        Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 were approximately $470. The Company had net borrowings on its line of credit of $1,158 and net principal repayments of $541. Additionally, the Company paid dividends on the Preferred Series B Convertible stock of $152. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $5 and a short-term loan of $350 from an entity controlled by a director of the Company. The short-term loan was subsequently repaid plus a financing fee of $50, from cash flows generated from operating activities.

        Net cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 were approximately $661. The Company had net borrowings on its line of credit of $382 and net principal repayments of $885. Additionally, we paid dividends on the Preferred Series B and C Convertible stock of $201. These net uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of Common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $43.

Liquidity

        As of December 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,150 as compared to $1,580 as of December 31, 2004. Working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $326 and $2,922, respectively.

        Our principal obligations as of December 31, 2005, consisted primarily of the following items: (a) a revolving line of credit facility with an outstanding balance of $5,112, (b) a senior term loan of $2,792, (c) a note payable to Tri-Link of $708, (d) a note payable to a related party of $258, and (e) dividends on our Series B and Series C Preferred stock, of which $253 is due and payable within the next twelve months.

        In July 2005, the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) under which the Company obtained a $3,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and was granted an $8,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolver”). Advances under the Revolver are based on a borrowing base formula that provides for, among other things, eligibility based on certain percentages of receivables and inventory. As of December 31, 2005, the amount of additional funds available for advance under the revolver was $1,006. Advances under the Revolver bear interest at prime plus 2.5% (9.7% at December 31, 2005). The Term Loan is payable in monthly installments of $42 plus interest at prime plus 3.5% (10.7% at December 31, 2005). The Loan Agreement provides for among other things, certain mandatory prepayments including an annual prepayment on the Term Loan equal to 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow, as defined in the Agreement. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged to secure borrowings under the Agreement.

        Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company used approximately $8,100 under the facility to satisfy the Company’s debt under its previous line of credit facility and a secured promissory note. The Company recognized a gain of $3,897 or $0.48 per basic share on the satisfaction of the secured promissory note.

        In October 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Tri-Link Technologies Inc. (“Tri-Link”) and Hargan-Global Ventures Inc. under which arbitration proceedings between the parties was settled and mutual releases were exchanged. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $1,000 and issued 750,000 shares of the Company’s Common

19


Stock and a $750 note to Tri-Link in exchange for the Company’s original promissory note in the amount of $2,250. The Company recognized a gain of $211 upon the extinguishment of this Settlement Agreement.

        This new note, which matures in October 2008, requires monthly payment of principal and interest, at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) and is secured by a first lien on the software acquired from Tri-Link.

        To facilitate the Agreement, the Company borrowed $250 from an affiliate controlled by one of the Company’s directors. Principal and cumulative interest, at an annual rate of fifteen percent (15%), are due November 2008. The note, which is unsecured, may be prepaid by the Company beginning in October 2006 and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock and/or shares of any of the Company’s existing or future preferred stock.

        The Company has 12,625 shares of Series B and 40,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2005. Holders of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends of $16 per share, payable quarterly and increasing to $18 per share on February 27, 2004, and to $20 per share on February 27, 2005. Holders of shares of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends of $10 per share, payable quarterly and increasing to $20 per share beginning April 1, 2007. If we are in arrears on four quarterly dividend payments on our Series B Preferred Stock (whether or not consecutive) or any part thereof, including interest, then the number of directors comprising our Board of Directors shall be increased to a number that allows the holders of our Series B Preferred Stock to elect a majority of our Board of Directors. The Series C Preferred holder had agreed to defer the demand for payment of eleven dividend payments until February 15, 2007 and the Series B Preferred Stock dividend was in arrears three payments.

        Our contractual obligations consist of operating leases for facilities, debt financing and dividend requirements on our Preferred Series B and C Convertible stock. The following table summarizes our fixed cash obligations as of December 31, 2005 for the fiscal years ending December:

  2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011

Dividends on Series B Preferred stock will continue at the rate of $253 per year as long as such shares are outstanding.

        Teltronics does not engage in any off-balance sheet financing arrangements. In particular, we do not have any interest in limited purpose entities, which include special purpose entities and structured finance entities.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        The Company had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments at December 31, 2005. The Company is exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. All borrowings under the Company’s bank line of credit agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on the prime rate. An increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would not significantly impact the Company’s net income. All of the Company’s business is recorded in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, foreign exchange rate fluctuations should not have a significant impact on the Company. The sum of EPS for the four quarters may differ from the annual EPS due to the required method of computing weighted average number of shares in respective periods.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Teltronics, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teltronics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audit also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Teltronics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Teltronics, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 of Teltronics, Inc. and subsidiaries. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of the operations and the cash flows of Teltronics, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Teltronics, Inc. will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a working capital deficiency. In addition, the Company has not complied with certain covenants of loan agreements with banks. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(All amounts in thousands, except share amounts)

NOTE 1 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 2005 the Company obtained a three year $3.0 million term loan and an $8.0 million revolving credit facility (See Note 9) which enabled the Company to retire its old line of credit and the Secured Promissory Note, which had a $7.2 million balloon payment due in 2006. The Company recognized a gain of $3,897 associated with the retirement of the old debt. In addition, as more fully described in Note 9, the Company settled its litigation with Tri-Link. The Company continued to take advantage of its reduced operating costs, improved margins and improved industry environment in 2005 by generating an operating profit, before an impairment charge, of $2,015 as compared to $952 in 2004 and an operating loss of $1,596 in 2003. The Company has reduced its shareholder deficiencies from $6,044 in 2004 to $2,586 in 2005 and has improved its working capital position from a $2,922 deficit in 2004 to a $326 deficit at December 31, 2005.

The Company continues to seek additional equity funding to further strengthen its balance sheet.

NOTE 2 — NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Teltronics, Inc. (“Teltronics” or “Company”), a Delaware corporation, designs, develops, installs, manufactures and markets electronic hardware and application software products, and engages in electronic manufacturing services primarily in the telecommunication industry. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company which is comprised of its wholly owned subsidiaries TTG Acquisition Corp., Teltronics, S.A. de C.V., 36371 Yukon Inc. and Teltronics Limited.

Effective February 1, 2004, Teltronics Limited, the Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom (“UK”), purchased the maintenance business of SMARTCALL Limited in the UK. Under the agreements with SMARTCALL and two of its principals, the Company agreed to pay $27 in cash, an additional sum based on a percentage of monthly maintenance revenues over twelve months ending March 31, 2005 and 100,000 shares of common stock of Teltronics. For years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 $53 and $587, respectively was earned under this earn-out provision.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk — The Company’s largest customer was 19%, 14% and 17% of sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The second largest customer was 10%, 12% and 14% of sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The third largest customer was 7%, 10% and 13% of sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company has accounts receivable from federal, state and city governmental agencies, independent telephone companies, alternative service companies and telecommunication companies primarily located in the United States. The Company does not believe that there are substantial credit risks associated with those receivables.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amount which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The note payable and long-term debt reflect interest rates

30


TELTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

that are currently available to the Company based on the financing arrangement and the collateral provided. As a result, the carrying amount of the note payable and long-term debt approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value. A considerable amount of judgment is required when we assess the ultimate realization of receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit-worthiness of each customer. We recognize an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due and an analysis of the specific facts relative to the customer. We have evaluated our allowance for doubtful accounts based on the economy and have adjusted it as necessary. We charge off outstanding balances only after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation — Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans based on the fair value of options granted. The Company has chosen to account for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, because the grant price equals the market price on the date of grant for options issued by the Company, no compensation expense is recognized for stock options issued to employees.

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been recognized based upon the estimated fair value on the grant date under the fair value methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123 (see Note 10), the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:

Years Ended December 31,
2005
2004
2003
Net income (loss) - as reported $      3,816     $        539     $   (3,303)   
Stock-based employee compensation cost if the fair
     value method had been applied (125)    (190)    (220)   



 Net income (loss) - pro forma $      3,691     $        349     $   (3,523)   



 Net loss per share:
     Basic - as reported $         0.39     $       (0.01)    $      (0.54)   
     Basic - pro forma $         0.36     $       (0.04)    $      (0.57)   
 
     Diluted - as reported $         0.36     $       (0.01)    $      (0.54)   
     Diluted - pro forma $         0.35     $       (0.04)    $      (0.57)   


The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s experience.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement 123R”), which requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value and to recognize cost over the vesting period. Statement 123R is effective for the Company January 1, 2006. The adoption of Statement 123R is not expected to have a significant effect on our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs are determined principally on the weighted average method. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

31


TELTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives (three to ten years) of the respective assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.

Capitalized Software — Capitalization of computer software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility for the Company’s computer software products is generally based upon achievement of a detail program design free of high-risk development issues. The Company capitalizes only those costs directly attributable to the development of the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technology. Prior to reaching technological feasibility, these costs are expensed as incurred and included in research and development. Activities undertaken after the products are available for general release to customers to correct errors or keep the product updated are expensed as incurred and included in research and development. Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs commences when the related products become available for general release to customers. Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis. The annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The estimated life of these products is 5 years.

The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized software costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are impaired. During 2005, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1,583 related to capitalized software costs in connection with these reviews.

Impairments — If the carrying value of an asset, including associated intangibles and goodwill, exceeds the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value.

Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by use of a valuation allowance.

Revenue Recognition

        Manufacturing.    Revenues from sales of product, including our electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when title and risk of loss passes, which is generally when the product is shipped. Based on the Company’s history of providing manufacturing services, we believe that collectibility is reasonably assured.

        Turnkey Contracts.    Certain of the Company’s customers purchase equipment on a turnkey basis under which the Company agrees to provide the equipment, install the equipment and train the customer’s personnel. On those contracts in which the customer accepts ownership of the individual deliverables, a general right of return exists on the deliverable and it is both probable and substantially within the Company’s control to deliver the remaining elements, revenues will be recognized as the customer accepts the deliverables.

32


TELTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

        For those customers that only accept multiple deliverable projects at the conclusion of the project, revenue is recognized under either the completed contract method or the percentage-of-completion method depending on the right to require the customer to make progress payments to support their ownership investment and to approve the services performed to date if they meet the contract requirements. If the percentage-of-completion method is used, revenues and related costs are recognized as work on a contract progresses. The progress of a contract in terms of recognizing revenue and related costs is based on satisfying the milestones for the specific contract. Provision is made for any anticipated contract losses in the period that the loss becomes evident.

        Maintenance and Service.    Revenue from support and maintenance activities is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period and the unrecognized portion is included in deferred revenue. Costs from support and maintenance activities are recognized when the related revenue is recognized or when those costs are incurred, whichever occurs first.

        Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Certain of the Company’s arrangements include multiple deliverables, which consist of product, installation, and training. In the absence of higher-level specific authoritative guidance, the Company determines the units of accounting for multiple element arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Specifically, the Company will consider a delivered item as a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a standalone basis, if there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, and, if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered element, delivery or performance of the undelivered element is considered probable and is substantially within the Company’s control.

Research and Development — Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Warranty and Service — The Company provides currently for the estimated cost that may be incurred under product warranties. Factors that affect the Company’s product liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company provides a limited warranty on its products, for a period from 3 to 18 months (depending on the product), under which the Company agrees to repair or replace, in the Company’s sole discretion, units defective in material or workmanship, provided the equipment has not been subjected to alteration or abuse.

Changes in the Company’s product liability during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

2005
2004
2003
Balance, beginning of the year $ 192     $ 302     $ 315    
Warranties issued during the year 114     80     131

NOTE 9 – LINE OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

In July 2005, the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) under which the Company obtained a $3,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and was granted an $8,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolver”). Advances under the Revolver are based on a borrowing base formula that provides for, among other things, eligibility based on certain percentages of receivables and inventory. Advances under the Revolver bear interest (9.66% at December 31, 2005) at prime plus 2.5%. The Loan Agreement is subject to certain financial covenants. The Loan Agreement provides for, among other things, certain mandatory prepayments, including an annual prepayment on the Term Loan equal to 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow, as defined in the Agreement. At December 31, 2005 $1,006 was available for advance. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged to secure borrowings under the Loan Agreement which matures June 2008.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company used approximately $8,100 under the facility to satisfy the Company’s debt under its previous line of credit facility and its Secured Promissory Note. The Company recognized a gain of $3,897 or $0.48 per basis share on the extinguishment of the Secured Promissory Note. In 2004 the Company transferred certain patents to the Secured Promissory note-holder in lieu of certain amounts due. The Company recognized a gain of $1,233 on the transfer.

In October 2005, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Tri-Link Technologies Inc. (“Tri-Link”) under which all arbitration and legal proceedings were settled. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $1,000 and issued 750,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a $750 note to Tri-Link in exchange for the Company’s original promissory note in the amount of $2,250. The Company recognized a gain of $211 on the transaction.

To facilitate a portion of the Settlement Agreement, the Company borrowed $250 from an entity controlled by one of the Company’s directors. Principal and cumulative interest, at an annual rate of fifteen percent (15%), are due November 2008. The note, which is unsecured, may be prepaid by the Company beginning in October 2006 and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share and/or shares of any of the Company’s existing or future preferred stock, at a conversion rate to be determined by mutual agreement.

NOTE 10 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Company has the authority to issue is 50,000,000 shares divided into three classes of which 5,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share are designated Preferred stock, 40,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share are designated Common stock and 5,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share, are designated Non-Voting Common stock.

(A)    Preferred stock — The Preferred Series A stock are restricted securities owned by the Company’s Director and Senior Vice President of Business Development and are subject to resale restrictions including the right of the Company to approve or disapprove any sale, transfer or disposition to any third party not controlled by the Director. Each share is entitled to 400 votes and is not entitled to any dividends. Accordingly, this would give the Senior Vice President voting control of the Company.

The Preferred Series B Convertible stock provided for a $16 per share annual dividend, payable quarterly and increased to $18 per share on February 27, 2004 and to $20 per share on February 27, 2005. The holder of the Preferred Series B Convertible stock has the right, at its option, to convert the 12,625 preferred shares to 721,429 common shares. The Company has the right to redeem the Preferred Series

B Convertible stock in full at 100% of the face value plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Preferred Series B Convertible stock contains certain covenants, including the right to appoint a director.

The Company is in arrears on three quarterly dividend payments due on the Preferred Series B Convertible stock at December 31, 2005 that total $185, which represents $14.65 per weighted average common share. If the Company is in arrears on four quarterly dividend payments on our Preferred Series B Convertible stock (whether or not consecutive) or any part thereof, including interest, then the number of directors comprising our Board of Directors shall be increased to a number that allows the holders of our Preferred Series B Convertible stock to elect a majority of our Board of Directors.

The Preferred Series C Convertible stock provides for a $10 per share annual dividend, payable quarterly. The annual dividend increases to $20 per share beginning April 1, 2007. The holder of the Preferred Series C Convertible stock has the right, at its option, to convert the 40,000 preferred shares to 1,454,545 common shares, subject to adjustment. The Company has the right to redeem all or a portion of the then outstanding Preferred Series C Convertible stock at any time for 100% of the face value plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Series C Preferred holder had agreed to defer the demand for payment of eleven dividend payments, aggregating $1,100, until February 15, 2007, which represents $27.50 per weighted average share.

(B)    Common stock — The Company recorded the issuance of 1.0 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $200 as compensation for 2003 services by its Board of Directors. The compensation is reported as a general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for 2003.

In connection with the Senior Secured Promissory Note, the Company had an outstanding warrant which expired in February 2005 to purchase 890,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share.

In September 2002, the Company issued a warrant to a financial advisor to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share which is exercisable through September 2007.

(D)    Incentive Stock Option Plan – In 1995, the Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan (“1995 Plan”) to enhance the Company’s ability to retain the services of outstanding personnel and encourage such employees to have a greater financial investment in the Company. The 1995 Plan, under which the Company may issue options for up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, terminated August 8, 2005. In September 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“2005 Plan”) under which the Company may issue options for up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2005 Plan will terminate September 28, 2014 unless terminated by the Board of Directors or extended by the Board and approved by the shareholders. Both plans authorize the Board to grant stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to key employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.

The term of an option shall be fixed by the Board. The option price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, unless the grantee is the holder of more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, in which case the option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

The following is a reconciliation of income tax expense recognized to that computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 34% in 2005, 2004 and 2003 to income (loss) before income taxes:

  Years ended December 31,
 
  2005 2004 2003
 


Federal tax at the statutory rate     $ 1,311   $ 185   $ (1,121 )

      $ 42   $ 7   $ 7  
 



Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

  December 31,
 
  2005 2004
 

Deferred tax assets:            
     Net operating loss carryforward     $ 5,907   $ 7,518  
     Accrued vacation       195     262  
     Inventory       447     400

        7,354     8,798  
     Valuation allowance     $ (7,354 ) $ (8,798 )
 


Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 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. Due to the uncertain nature of the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets based upon the Company’s financial performance and the potential expiration of the net operating loss carryforward, the Company has established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company will recognize the benefits associated with the deferred tax assets only as reassessment demonstrates they are realizable. Realization is entirely dependent upon future earnings in specific tax jurisdictions. While the need for this valuation allowance is subject to periodic review, if the allowance is reduced, the tax benefits will be recorded in

future operations as a reduction of the Company's income tax expense. The valuation allowance decreased $1,444 in 2005 and $205 in 2004 and increased $1,203 in 2003.

At December 31, 2005, for federal income tax purposes, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $15.7 million, which will expire in the years 2009 through 2025. Such net operating losses are available to offset future taxable income.

NOTE 12 — NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss, adjusted for preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of issued common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss, adjusted for preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of issued common shares and potential common shares. Potential common shares consist of convertible preferred stock, stock options (vested and unvested) and warrants and are computed using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

  2005
2004
2003
Basic                
Net income (loss)     $ 3,816   $ 539   $ (3,303 )

     Net income (loss) per share     $ 0.36   $ (0.01 ) $ (0.54 )
 



For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, options to purchase 1,019,000, 1,600,000 and 1,740,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 warrants to purchase 300,000, 1,190,000 and 1,190,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors a savings plan (“401(k) plan”) which covers substantially all employees of the Company. Prior to October 1, 2002, the Company made discretionary matching contributions to the 401(k) plan by issuance of shares of the common stock of the Company. During 2003, the Company funded certain matching contributions related to 2002 and issued 62,311 shares with a fair value of $34 in connection with the plan. The Company elected not to match in 2004 and 2005.

TELTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

The Company also sponsors an employee stock purchase plan (“Purchase Plan”) under which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are given an opportunity to purchase Company Common Stock at a price equal to approximately 85% of fair market value. The Purchase Plan is intended to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the 765,000 shares of common stock funding the Plan have been registered on Form S-8. During 2003, the Purchase Plan was suspended. During 2004, the Company issued 11,803 shares with a fair value of $3,520 related to 2003 contributions. During 2003 the Company issued 362,184 shares with a fair value of $43. The Purchase Plan remains suspended at December 31, 2005.

NOTE 14 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(A)    Employment Agreements — The Company is party to employment agreements with several of its officers that provide for annual base salaries, target bonus levels, severance pay under certain conditions, and certain other benefits.

(B)    Operating Leases — The Company leases its manufacturing facilities, including land and building, under an operating lease which was extended for sixty-six months until February 28, 2011.

The Company is responsible for paying all taxes, insurance and maintenance cost relating to the leased property. The amended lease provides for a 3% increase in the annual rent. The Company also leases offices in several locations under leases expiring at various dates.

(C)    Legal Proceedings — The Company from time to time is involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, management believes that it has adequate legal defenses or has provided adequate accruals for related costs such that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position or results of operations.

In October 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Tri-Link Technologies Inc. (“Tri-Link”) and Hargan-Global Ventures Inc. under which arbitration proceedings between the parties was settled and mutual releases were exchanged. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $1,000 and issued 750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a $750 note to Tri-Link in exchange for the Company’s original promissory note in the amount of $2,250.

The Company was a party to a lawsuit filed in the State of New York alleging that the various defendants who entered into contracts with the New York Department of Education, did not insure that a subcontractor paid its employees in accordance with the prevailing wage rate required by the State of New York. In November 2005, the parties entered into a Settlement, Covenant Not to Sue and Release Agreement. The Company was not required to pay any damages under this agreement.

NOTE 15 – OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following is a summary of additional transactions not disclosed elsewhere with related parties:

Prepaid Lease Guarantee – A Director personally guaranteed a portion of the Company’s obligations to the lessor over the term of the lease. The Company agreed to pay 6% of the total future value of the lease payments, excluding executory costs, as consideration for this guarantee. This amount, $420, was paid during 1991 and was deferred as a financing cost (prepaid lease guarantee) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and is amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Accumulated amortization of this amount at December 31, 2004 was $402. The guarantee expired in 2005.

During 2004, an entity controlled by a Director of the Company provided a short-term loan of $350. The short-term loan was subsequently repaid plus a financing fee of $50. In February 2005, this entity provided a $750 loan to the Company. The loan was repaid in June 2005 with interest at 15% per annum.

During 2005 and 2004, another entity controlled by a Director of the Company occupied approximately 1,000 square feet of the office space in our Sarasota facility. The annual rent for this space was approximately $8.

In addition, the Company leases two vehicles from another entity controlled by a Director of the Company. Monthly costs are $3 and are due through October 2010.

NOTE 16 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

Employment Agreements

        Effective October 21, 2005 the Company amended and restated five year employment agreements with Ewen R. Cameron, President and CEO and Norman R. Dobiesz, Senior Vice President Business Development. Each employment agreement is renewable for an additional five-year period at the employee's option and provides for a base salary of $400 subject to annual increases of $25.

If the Company terminates the employment of Mr. Cameron or Mr. Dobiesz, the terminated employee will be entitled to severance equal to the salary for the remaining term on the contract.

        These two executives had not taken any of the last four annual increases to which they are entitled under the terms of their respective prior agreements and the executives also deferred a portion of their 2003 and 2004 compensation as a part of the Company's cost containment measures. In connection with the amended and restated employment agreement the executives agreed to forego the deferred compensation and the scheduled increase in compensation.

        Effective September 9, 2002 the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Robert B. Ramey, Vice President Manufacturing. The employment agreement is renewable for an additional three-year period unless the employee or the Company sends notice of non-renewal to the other at least thirty days prior to the expiration date of the term. The agreement provides for a base

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        In October 2000, the Shareholders ratified adoption of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") and authorized 1,000,000 shares of common stock for the plan under which employees of the Company are provided the opportunity to acquire common stock of the Company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, at 85% of fair market value. The Company registered 765,000 shares on Form S-8. As of December 31, 2004, 761,214 common shares have been issued and 3,786 were available to be issued under the ESPP. During 2004, the Company issued an aggregate of 11,803 shares in connection with this plan. No shares were issued under the ESPP in 2005.

Incentive Stock Option Plans

        The Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended ("1995 Plan") to enhance the Company's ability to retain the services of outstanding personnel and encourage such employees to have a greater financial investment in the Company. The 1995 Plan authorize the Board of Directors to grant incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to key employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 1995 Plan terminated August 8, 2005. At the date of this Form 10-K there are approximately 256 employees eligible to participate in the Plan.

        Under the 1995 Plan, the Company issued options to purchase 100,000 and 35,000 shares in 2005 and 2004, respectively, to non-executive employees and 50,000 shares to executive employees in 2004. The Company cancelled options previously granted to non-executive employees to purchase 203,000 and 38,000 shares of Common Stock in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company also cancelled options previously granted to executive employees to purchase 167,000 shares of Common Stock in 2004.

        In September 2004, the shareholders of the Company ratified the 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("2005 Plan") which became effective May 1, 2005 and expires September 28, 2014. The maximum number of shares of common stock authorized under the 2005 Plan is 1,000,000 shares.

        As of December 31, 2005, an aggregate of 725,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock may be issued or transferred to grantees under the 2005 Plan. If there is a stock split, stock dividend or other relevant change affecting the Company's shares, appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of shares that may be issued or transferred in the future and in the number of shares and price of all outstanding grants made before such event. The option price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant, unless the grantee is the holder of more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, in which case the option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The Company has registered all of shares issuable under this plan on Form S-8.

        During 2005, the Company issued options to purchase 75,000 shares to non-executive employees and 200,000 shares to executive employees under the 2005 Plan.

        Under both plans options may be exercised solely by the Participant or his or her legal representative during his or her employment with the Company or after his or her death by the person or persons entitled thereto under his or her will or the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of termination of employment for any reason other than death, permanent disability as determined by the Board, or retirement with the consent of the Company, Options may not be exercised by the Participant or his or her legal representative and shall lapse effective upon the earlier to occur of (i) notice of employment termination or (ii) last day of employment with the Company.
