PART I

GENERAL INFORMATION

          We are engaged in the design, production (directly and/or through subcontractors) and distribution of small electronic and electromagnetic components and sub-assemblies for use in telephone, radio and microwave transmission and reception and other communication areas that are used in both military and commercial applications. Our products are used for transceiving various quantities, data and protective relaying functions in industrial, utility and other markets.

Item 1. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESS

          We were organized in 1968 and were engaged primarily in the design and manufacture of electronic components and systems for military applications.

          In July 1971, we merged with DSI Systems, Inc., then engaged in the development and manufacture of terminal viewers for digital retrieval of microfilm. Later that year, we changed our name to Conolog Corporation.

          By 1980 it became apparent that the military segment of the business was growing while the terminal viewer segment was a drain on cash and other resources. By the year-end, the terminal viewer business was discontinued and the inventory relating thereto was written off, allowing us to concentrate on our military business.

          In 1981 we acquired one of our customers, INIVEN Corporation (“INIVEN”). At that time, we were manufacturing, on behalf of INIVEN, a line of transmitters and receivers used for controlling and transceiving the measurement of the flow of gases and liquids, by gas and water utilities for controlling the flow of waste water and sewage and measuring and controlling traffic.

          Since the 1980’s, we have been an active participant in providing electromagnetic wave filters for major military programs, such as the Patriot Missile, Hawk Missile and Sea Sparrow Missile. In addition to these projects, our components are currently used by the military in tanks, the Apache helicopter and MK-50 torpedoes.

          During 1987, we made a strategic decision to redirect our focus from military to commercial markets. Since that time, we have refocused on manufacturing and marketing our products for the commercial marketplace rather than depend on the military and defense-related markets. Our primary emphasis was on products for electric utilities, co-generation of power, gas and water companies, traffic control for departments of transport (DOT) and airports utilizing DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology.

1


          In September 1998, we acquired the assets of Atlas Design, Inc., a human resource outsourcing company, to further our strategy of mergers and acquisitions, and to assist in providing qualified engineering and technical staff in support of our longer term contracts.

          Also in September 1998, we completed a sale/leaseback of our manufacturing facility. This enabled us to significantly reduce our operating costs and increase our working capital.

          In August 2000, we acquired Independent Computer Maintenance Corporation (“ICM”), a provider of installation, maintenance and troubleshooting services for commercial and corporate computer systems and networks to businesses in the greater New York metropolitan area.

          In January 2001, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Prime Time Staffing Inc. and Professional Temp Solutions, Inc. These companies provided permanent and temporary employees for graphics design firms, book publishing companies and engineering businesses.

          In October 2002, we ceased operating this business and entered into an Agreement to rescind the Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we acquired ICM.

          In March 2004, we ceased operating our staffing business. The assets of the wholly-owned subsidiary, Nologoc, Inc. trading as Atlas Design, were sold.

Products

          We are engaged in the design and production of (i) transducers, which are electro-magnetic devices which convert electrical energy into mechanical and other forms of physical energy, or conversely convert mechanical and other forms of physical energy into electrical energy; (ii) digital signal processing (DSP) systems and electromagnetic wave filters for differentiation among discreet audio and radio frequencies; (iii) audio transmitters and modulators, for the transmission over telephone lines, microwave circuits, or satellite, of electrical signals obtained from transducers, data generated in electronic code form or by computers or other similar equipment (not manufactured by the Company); (iv) audio receivers and demodulators which are small systems which receive and decode the signals from the audio transmitters and convert them into digital codes for input into computers, teletypes or other similar equipment (not manufactured by the Company) or convert such signals into mechanical or other form of energy, such as opening or closing valves, or starting or stopping a motor; (v) magnetic “networks” which are devices that permit the matching or coupling of different types of communication equipment together or many identical or similar equipment together or onto telephone or other transmission lines so as not to cause interference; and (vi) analog transmitters and receivers, which permit the coding/transmission and receiving/decoding of a constantly variable data, such as the water level in a tank, pressure in a pipe or temperature, by actually displaying the exact information at the receiving end in digital form for storing in a computer or other devices, or by physically displaying the information in a visual fashion such as a numerical readout or meter, and (vii) multiplexer supervisory controls, which enable callers with high volumes of supervisory data to transmit on fewer phone lines.

          Such products are used in radio and other transmissions, telephones and telephone exchanges, air and traffic control, automatic transmission of data for utilities, tele-printing of transmitted data such as news and stock market information and for use by electric utilities in monitoring power transmission lines for faults and/or failures. Our products may be used independently or in combination with other products to form a system type configuration, whereby our equipment is pre-assembled in a large cabinet with other equipment in a configuration that would provide the end user with protection as well as operational status displays.

Present Status/Business Product Description

We are engaged in three basic market segments:

(A) Commercial Sales
(Under the trade name “INIVEN” (a wholly owned
Division of Conolog))

- Direct sales to end-users

- Sales to system assemblers

- Sales to contractors/installers

(B) Military Sales

- Direct contract sales to the military

- As subcontractor to systems producers

- Foreign governments

(C) Commercial Sales

- As Manufacturing Subcontractor
to Systems Producers.

(A) Military Sales

          Military sales are primarily for our electromagnetic wave filters used in military radios, vehicles (cars, trucks or tanks), portable (backpack), special signaling equipment and exchanges (as in field command posts), ship to ship teletype signaling filters used in deployment of ships (UCC-1 and UCC-4 systems) as well as many other signaling applications where accurate electromagnetic frequency control is required.

          Our military sales are received through independent sales representatives who are paid a commission by the Company.

B) Commercial “INIVEN” Sales and Products

          “INIVEN” equipment is designed around four (4) core product groups:

 

 

 

 

(1)

Protective Tone Relay (PTR) and Protective Digital Relay (PDR) Teleprotection Series Communications Terminal, which includes the PTR-1000, PTR-1500 and PDR-2000;

 

 

(2)

Audio Tone & Telemetry Equipment (Audio Tone Control, Telemetering and Data Transmission Systems), which includes Series “98”, “68”, “40” and “GEN-1”;

 

 

(3)

Multiplex Supervisory Control System; and

 

 

(4)

Communication Link Multihead Fiber Optic Couplers and Industrial Grade 12 Baud Modems.

3


     (1) PDR Teleprotection Series

 

 

 

The PDR-2000 is designed as a state of the art digital protection terminal. The PDR-2000 operates over 56/64 KBPS channel, G.703 or fiber optics. Combined with the hardwire CM-100, the PDR 2000 can operate seamlessly over fiber optics with existing substation equipment.

     (2) PTR Teleprotection Series

          This product is designed as a dual system for use exclusively by electric power generators (electric utilities and co-generators) in order to protect their transmission and distribution lines. The PTR-1000, by monitoring the output signal of the transmission equipment in less than one hundredth of a second, protects transmission and distribution lines.

          The PTR-1000 is installed in pairs, one unit at each end of the line. Each unit is connected and in constant communication with the other, as they continuously monitor the line for faults. In the event of a fault occurring (such as a downed line or a short circuit) at either end, and when confirmed by the receiving PTR-1000 unit, the line is immediately isolated for shut down, averting costly damage and downtime.

          The PTR-1000 system is composed of a transmitter, dual receivers, a logic card (brain center and controller of the system), relay module, line interface module and power supply module. The transmitters at each end are independent and transmit (continuously) the status (information being monitored) at their end of the line.

          The PTR-1500, is a quad system and performs as 2 duals or 4 singles with many unique features such as multiple line operation, event recording with date stamp with optional analog or digital transmission modes including optic fiber interface.

          The PTR and PDR Teleprotection Series are designed for global use by electric utilities and any entity generating power for its own consumption with resale of surplus power to an electric utility, such as cities, municipalities, cooperatives and large corporations that find it more economical to generate their own electricity.

          The PDR-2000, PTR-1500 and the PTR-1000 target market is:

 

 

 

New installations; i.e., new transmission lines, new distribution segments, for utilities and co-generators.

 

 

 

Existing installations not properly protected, improving efficiency and reducing down time.

 

 

 

Existing installations for upgrading to PTR-1500/1000 and PDR-2000 technology, again improving efficiency and down time.

 

 

 

Sales efforts for the PDR and PTR series are presently being conducted by the Company’s Marketing executives, through independent manufacturers’ representatives and through distributors. Sales are targeted primarily to the largest utilities and co-generators.

According to McGraw-Hill, Inc. Electrical World (Electric Utilities of the United States), in the United States alone, there are over 500 large entities generating electricity. They are:


 

 

 

 

 

Investor-owned

 

 

Municipal Systems

 

 

Cooperative Systems

 

 

Federal, State and District systems.

     (3) Audio Tone and Telemetry Equipment

          For many years there has been a need for a modularly independent system that would permit a user, from a distance, to control functions such as opening a valve, starting a motor, shutting down a compressor, changing a traffic signal, control landing lights at an airport, activate a hazard warning on a highway, and in return allow the user to receive information, such as the liquid level in a tank, the pressure in a pipe, the rate of flow out of a compressor, the flow of traffic, the status of a traffic light, airport lights, or confirmation that a command was performed. Such information is transmitted and received and the control functions are performed from a distance utilizing telephone lines, microwave link or direct wire.

          These applications, by their nature, can be accomplished with slow speed signaling systems composed of a transmitter on one end and a receiver on the other to carry out the necessary instructions provided by the transmitter. Each set (transmitter/receiver combination) is called a channel. Because of the slow speed, up to 30 channels could be made to transmit and receive signals, in either direction on a single telephone line, microwave link or direct-wired line at the same time. This parallel transmission permits each transmitter/receiver pair to be independent of all the others.

          This product segment includes the first generation equipment, known as GEN-1, followed by later generations which include technological improvements and programmable capabilities to include:

 

 

 

GEN-1 Series - First generation with electromagnetic modules and first generation programmable modules without electro-magnetic modules.

 

 

 

“98” and “68” Series - The latest generation applies DSP and microprocessor technology with full programmability, in the field or at the factory.

 

 

 

“40” Series - Designed to function with the “98” or “68” series; transmits and receives variable analog data.

GEN-1 and GEN-1 Programmable Series

          The diversity of applications for this equipment makes it available for a wide range of users who are not restricted to a single industry. Typical industrial uses include: the measurement of water and gas, waste water, gasoline, oil, traffic, and electricity. Typical users include: utilities, co-generators, airports, navy yards, telephone companies, paper and pulp processors and wherever remote control and data acquisition is required.

          Because of the ease of use and installation, GEN-1 type equipment is used in the United States by a spectrum of users. Since our line has a distinct mechanical configuration, we designed our GEN-1 Programmable units and other improvements as replacements for existing units. These account for approximately 18% of the Company’s commercial sales. The Company’s line of GEN-1 equipment is extensive and provides the user with the ability to perform multiple control functions,

5


status monitoring as well as continuous variable data monitoring, such as a level in a tank or pressure gauge.

          Sales for this line are primarily for the replacement of existing installations and for expansion of these installations where it would not be economical to install the latest technology, which would not be mechanically compatible.

          Sales to this market are made in the same manner as the PTR-1000 market except that manufacturers’ representatives specialize in selling to this diverse market.

“98,” “68” and “40” Series represent our latest designs in the audio tone equipment utilizing the more advanced DSP technology, which provides high accuracy and long-term stability. These features have allowed the Company to greatly improve the scope, density and number of functions that can be performed on a single phone line, microwave link or direct line.

          Sales of these products are made by the same agents who sell our GEN-1 products, but are also directed to encompass more sophisticated users with larger amounts of data and control points. The mechanical configuration of the “98” series is more compact, permitting more equipment in a given space, while performing many more functions when it is connected to the “40” Series. The “68” Series is the “98” Series repackaged mechanically specifically for customers with older systems permitting them to upgrade their systems to DSP technology. The “40” Series, when connected to the “98” or “68” in the same chassis, permits the continuous monitoring of variable data.

          Typical applications for these products include transmission of the variable data (such as volume, temperature, pressure and moisture) for water, gas, industrial gases, oil, gasoline, transportation equipment and telephone exchanges, and for use at airports, tunnels and bridges and for security and electricity systems.

     (4) Multiplex Supervisory (IM) Control System

          This product is a response to the cost and scarcity of dedicated phone lines (connections whereby the phone link is dedicated to one subscriber), and enables customers with high volumes of supervisory data (where many functions are monitored from a single site) to transmit data on fewer phone lines (i.e., with more data per channel, up to a maximum of 30 channels per line).

          Using the “98” DSP Series as its communications link, the Company designed the Multiplexer Supervisory Control System to handle 8 times the normal capacity per channel. The microprocessor-based system allows a single telephone line to handle up to 900 data inputs.

          This product line, because of its data density capability, may be utilized for a very broad range of applications. This product has only recently been introduced and the Company sales efforts for it are being conducted through its existing independent manufacturers sales representatives.

     (5) Fiber Optic Link and Data Modem

          The expansion of fiber lines by our customers and their need to switch equipment from phone lines to fiber prompted us to design and introduce a fiber-optic-coupler line to interface with the many different fiber heads. In addition to complete data interface couplers we launched a series of 1200 Baud Modems (Industrial Grade) for operation under the same environmental specifications in line with our products.

6


OUR STRATEGY

          Our strategy is to develop new commercial markets by continuing to develop new products and enhance existing products to improve both its market share and competitive position. Growth in commercial sales is expected to come through internal growth of existing products, new product introductions and the expansion of regional markets to meet the growing needs of its customers for more sophisticated and comprehensive products and services.

MARKETING AND SALES

          In general, the Company’s products are marketed through telemarketing and customer contacts by our direct sales force and through independent manufacturing sales representatives and distributors.

          MILITARY - We market our military products directly and through independent manufacturing sales representatives.

          COMMERCIAL - We market the PTR-1000, PTR-1500, PDR-2000 and all of our INIVEN products to utilities by means of our Sales personnel, through independent manufacturers representatives, and through distributors, focusing mainly on the largest utilities and co-generators. The long sales cycle of our systems is the result of rigorous utility testing in addition to many months of field operations in conjunction with existing equipment at the utility’s substations. In the United States alone there are over 500 large entities generating electricity that are identified as investor-owned, municipal systems, cooperative systems and federal, state and district systems.

          We market the Gen-1 and Gen-1 Programmable Series, as well as the “98” Series, “68” Series and “40” Series, in the same way as the PTR-1000 except that the manufacturers representatives used by the Company specialize in selling to the diverse markets that utilize such products.

COMPETITION

          The market for our products and staffing services is very competitive. There are several companies engaged in providing the services and in the manufacturing the products of the type produced by us, most of which are substantially larger and have substantially greater name recognition or greater financial resources and personnel. The major competitive factors include availability of personnel, product quality, reliability, price, service and delivery. Competition is expected to continue and intensify. The market is also characterized by rapid technological changes and advances. We would be adversely affected if our competitors introduced technology superior products or offered these products and services at significantly lower prices than our products.

LARGEST CUSTOMERS

          Sales to our major customers during fiscal 2006 (Bonneville Power Authority, NSTAR) totaled $90,215 and $68,222, respectively (totaling 17% and 13% of all sales, respectively. Sales to our major customers during fiscal 2005 (Bonneville Power Authority, U.S. Military) totaled $168,150 and $174,121, respectively (totaling 30% and 32% of all sales, respectively). None of these customers has or had any material relationship other than business with the Company.

INVENTORY

Raw Materials

          We believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials available for use in our business. Our products are assembled from a variety of standard electronic components, such as integrated circuits, transformers, transistors, passive components (i.e., resistors, capacitors and inductors), diodes and assorted hardware, such as, printed circuit boards, connectors and faceplates. We are not

7


dependent upon any single supplier. We also purchase a number of other electronic components and sub-assemblies from various suppliers. There has been no material increase in the cost of most raw materials and we do not foresee a significant shortage of raw materials in the future.

          In the past, we manufactured and held in our inventory finished products pursuant to the military specifications and based upon the military forecast for future quantities and delivery schedules. Widespread military procurements were discontinued as a result of the end of the cold war and the downsizing of the military establishment. As a result, we no longer manufacturer military products in advance. Rather, we only schedule production as purchase orders are received.

MANUFACTURING

          The Company currently rents approximately 7,000 square feet of the facility located at 5 Columbia Road, for a combination of manufacturing and office space. The Company assembles, under normal workload conditions, the product it sells, however, to accommodate the peak demands that occur from time to time, we can engage a number of subcontractors to assemble boards to our specifications. All assemblies, however, are inspected and fully tested by the Company’s quality, engineering and testing departments. We maintain test equipment and every product is burned-in (i.e., each product is run at full power for 48 hours) and tested prior to shipment.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

          We provide a twelve-year warranty on our products, which covers parts and labor. The Company, at its option, repairs or replaces products that are found defective during the warranty period providing proper preventive maintenance procedures have been followed by customers. Repairs that are necessitated by misuse of such products are not covered by our warranty.

          In cases of defective products, the customer typically returns them to our facility in Somerville, New Jersey. Our service personnel then replace or repair the defective items and ship them back to the customer. Generally all servicing is completed at our plant and customers are charged a fee for those service items that are not covered by the warranty. We do not offer our customers any formal written service contracts.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

New Products- CM-100 platform

          During fiscal 2005-2006, we introduced the CM-100, which we believe is the first of its kind, direct substation hardened communication consolidator that fills the existing gap in substation communications. The hardwired CM-100 will allow our existing products, including the PDR-2000, to operate seamlessly over fiber optics together with existing substation equipment. We plan to commence deliveries of the CM-100 by December 2006.

          During fiscal 2003-2004, we proceeded with the design and testing of the PDR-2000 8 channel digital transfer trip communications product.

          During fiscal 2001-2002 we invested approximately $774,757 to complete our design of the PDR-2000, eight-channel digital transfer trip communications product.

          During fiscal 2000-2001, we invested approximately $25,000 to complete the accessory modules of the PTR-1500 and extend the range of our Multiplexer products. During fiscal 1999-2000 we invested approximately $1,705,257 for product development and amortization of product costs.

8


          The Company also developed a new platform for its GEN1 products allowing for its use by the Canadian utilities.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

          We do not have any patents covering any of our present products. We use the trademark INIVEN for our commercial products. We believe that such trademark is recognized in our industry. We believe that our prospects are dependent primarily on our ability to offer our customers high quality, reliable products at competitive prices rather than on our ability to obtain and defend patents and trademarks. We do not believe that our INIVEN trademark is of material importance to the Company’s business.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

          Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous existing and proposed Federal and State regulations designed to protect the environment, establish occupational safety and health standards and cover other matters. We believe that our operations are in compliance with existing regulations and we do not believe that such compliance has had or will have any material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. With respect to military sales, we are not subject to any special regulations. The products manufactured are done so in accordance with accepted commercial practices.

EMPLOYEES

          As of July 31, 2006, we employed 14 persons on a full-time basis, including 2 in management, 1 in sales, 1 in clerical, 1 in accounting, 1 in purchasing, 5 in engineering and quality control and 3 in production. We have enjoyed good labor relations.

          None of our employees are represented by a labor union or bound by a collective bargaining agreement. We have never suffered a work stoppage. We believe our future success will depend, in part, on our continued ability to recruit and retain highly skilled management, marketing and technical personnel.

Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

          Our principal executive offices are located at 5 Columbia Somerville, New Jersey. The space consists of approximately 7,000 square feet of which approximately 5,000 square feet is dedicated to manufacturing, production and testing and approximately 2,000 square feet is dedicated to administrative and storage needs. Our current monthly rent expense is $ 4,600.The executive office houses both the manufacturing division and the temporary staffing division. In the opinion of management, the space is adequately covered by insurance.

Item 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

          Subsequent to July 31, 2004, (1) the remaining principal balance of $1,094,000 from the issuance of convertible debentures during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004, was converted into 1,032,076 common shares. (2) Additionally, warrants expiring April 26, 2011 were exercised resulting in the issuance of 270,000 common shares in exchange for $429,300.

          On July 29, 2004, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with certain investors to issue and sell in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the subscription agreement the Company sold to the investors 479,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.84 per share, which expire on July 30, 2009 and received gross proceeds of $688,500 and net proceeds of $598,995 before deducting attorneys’ fees, printing fees, filing fees and other miscellaneous fees and expenses related to the private placement. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with a resulting allocation of the aggregate proceeds from the subscription attributable to the warrants of $399,401. The following assumptions were utilized to value the warrants: price per share of common stock of $1.84; expected life of five years; expected volatility of 149%; a risk free interest rate of 3.7%; and an expected yield of 0.0%. On February 15, 2005 the 200,000 warrants were exercised and the Company received proceeds of $367,500.

          On February 18, 2005, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with certain investors to issue and sell in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of

11


the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the subscription agreement, the Company sold to the investors 1,369,355 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 958,549 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.25, which expire on August 18, 2010 and received gross proceeds of $4,245,000 and net proceeds of $3,710,650 before deducting attorneys’ fees, printing fees, filing fees and other miscellaneous fees and expenses related to the private placement.

          On July 19, 2005, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with certain investors to issue and sell in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the subscription agreement, the Company sold to the investors 1,200,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 1,440,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.6892 per share, which expire on January 19, 2011 and the Company received gross proceeds of $1,500,000 and net proceeds of $1,350,000 before deducting attorneys’ fees, printing fees, filing fees and other miscellaneous fees and expenses related to the private placement.

          Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated January 19, 2006 the Company sold and issued to three Subscribers Convertible Notes having an aggregate principal balance of $1,250,000 which are convertible into 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $ 1.25 per share, and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $ 0.9579 per share. Interest payable on these notes accrues at a rate of 5% per annum. The maturity date is January 10, 2010. The convertible notes and warrants have been recorded in compliance with APB-14. The $ 1,250,000 of proceeds attributed to the Convertible Debenture are recorded based upon their relative fair value. The value assigned to the warrants of $ 401,363 has been recorded as a discount to the convertible debenture. Additionally, the warrants valued at $ 0.9579 per share represents a Beneficial Conversion feature calculated at their intrinsic value and amounted to $46,157. This beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a discount to the convertible debenture. This aggregate discount to the debt of $447,520 will be amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2006 Compared to 2005

          Product revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 totaled $547,767 a decrease of $1,455 from the product revenue reported for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 of $549,222. The Company attributes this slight decrease in revenues to the continued delay and extended deliveries by the Company’s utility customers due to extensive re-design and testing by these utilities.

          Product cost for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 amounted to $282,932 or 51.6% of product revenues. Product cost for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 amounted to $494,605 or 90.0% of product revenues. The Company attributes the decrease in the current year’s product cost of $211,673 and corresponding increase in the current year’s Gross Profit of $210,620 (before offset by the write down of obsolete inventory parts) to the continued outsourcing of assembly boards and the introduction of new assembly standards under ISO-9000, which have made the assembly process more cost efficient.

          For fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 the Company, in accordance with its inventory management policy, wrote down $245,326 of cost relating to inventory parts which had become obsolete or which were not used in the manufacturing process in the prior three years.

          Total Operating expenses for fiscal July 31, 2006 amounted to $3,402,284, an increase of $78,112 from $3,324,172 reported for fiscal July 31, 2005. The Company attributes this increase in part to Research and Development costs of $ 376,713 on its new CM-100 platform system.

12


          The Company’s interest income increased by $77,687 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 to $135,841 compared to $58,154 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2005. The totals for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 include interest income derived from the Company’s interest bearing accounts through several banks.

          The Company’s interest expense for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 totaled $83,680, compared to $23,371 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2005. The increase in interest expense is attributed to interest paid on the convertible debenture issued on January 19, 2006. This convertible debenture bears interest at 5% per annum and future payments will be made in common stock in lieu of cash.

          As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $3,330,089 or $.45 per share for fiscal 2006, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2,987,329 or $ .59 per share for fiscal 2005. Of the $.45 loss per share for July 31, 2006, the write down of inventory accounted for $.04 loss per share

2005 Compared to 2004

          Product revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 totaled $549,222, a decrease of 42.9% or $413,786 from $963,008 reported for fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. The Company attributed the decrease in product revenue to delayed and extended deliveries. Subsequent to the events of September 11, 2001, utilities were required to upgrade security on newly developed products such as the PDR-2000 system. During the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2005 a substantial number of PDR-2000 systems, which had been shipped and invoiced in the third quarter ended April 30, 2005, were returned by the utilities for software upgrades to conform to these standards. Consequently the Company issued credits to these utilities, producing the effect of a net reduction in revenues for the 12 months ended July 31, 2005 when compared to the 9 months ended April 30, 2005. This extensive re-design and testing resulted in extended delivery dates to customers. The Company also saw a decrease in military contract orders.

          Product cost for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 totaled $494,605 a decrease of 45.8% or $418,956 from $913,561 reported for fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. The Company attributes the decrease in product cost as a percentage of sales, a direct relation to the decrease in sales orders.

          Gross profit for products for the years ended July 31, 2005 and July 31, 2004 totaled $54,617 and $49,447, respectively, representing 10.0% and 5.1% of product revenue. The increase in gross profit for products is attributed to the product mix and outsourcing.

          General and Administrative expenses for the years ended July 31, 2005 and July 31, 2004 totaled $3,324,172 and $5,114,714, respectively. The Company attributes the decrease of $1,790,542 in general and administrative expense, in part, to the decrease in stock-based compensation; however, this decrease was partially off-set by (i) salaries paid to officers in fiscal 2005 which had not been paid in fiscal 2004; (ii) reinstatement of certain employee benefits, which had been suspended in fiscal 2004; and (iii) an increase in expenses related to increased sales and marketing efforts. At a meeting on February 10, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal that authorized the Company’s Board to issue from time-to-time an aggregate of 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its directors and employees, including its officers, and on February 10, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its directors and employees, including its officers. Stock grants to the Company’s employees, officers and directors are an expense which is reflected as a part of the Company’s general and administrative cost. The

13


amount of this expense is determined by multiplying the number of shares granted by the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the day before the grant. Stock-based compensation expenses for the year ended July 31, 2005 was $547,750, which was a decrease of $3,044,250 from the $3,592,000 in stock-based compensation expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004.

          Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 increased $83,354 over fiscal 2004 to $177,338 resulting from upgrades to the PDR 2000, a high speed communications system for use in electric power transmission pilot protection schemes, and the development of a new CM-100 product which were completed during the year.

          The Company’s interest income for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 totaled $58,154 compared to $7,034 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. The totals for fiscal years 2005 and 2004 include interest income derived from the Company’s interest bearing accounts through several banks.

          The Company’s interest expense for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 totaled $23,371, compared to $1,220,960 for fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. The company’s interest expense for fiscal 2004 includes $1,200,000 of detachable warrants issued with a convertible debt having a beneficial conversion option. The value assigned to these warrants was recorded as interest expense and not amortized.

          As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $ 2,987,329 or $ .59 per share for fiscal 2005, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $ 6,275,886 or $ 4.08 per share for fiscal 2004.

          The net loss from discontinued operations for fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 totaled $222,404. The discontinued operations were a result of the sale of the Company’s Atlas Design subsidiary. The decision to sell the component was based on the intensely competitive and highly fragmented nature of the placement services business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Working capital at July 31, 2006 was $3,649,799 compared to $5,281,191 at year ended July 31, 2005. The decrease in the working capital is attributable to the reduction of inventory and the reduction of cash used in development of the CM-100 platform.

          Accounts receivable have increased from $89,194 at July 31, 2005 to $183,622 at July 31, 2006. This increase of $94,428 is the result of increased sales during the 4th quarter.

          The Company expects to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months through existing cash balances and cash generated from operations. In addition, the Company believes that it can obtain financing from institutional investors secured by its assets, if necessary.

INFLATION

          Management believes that the results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management does not expect inflation to have a significant effect on its operations in the future.

14


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management uses its best judgment in valuing these estimates and may, as warranted, solicit external professional advice and other assumptions believed to be reasonable. The following critical accounting policies, some of which are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates, affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Income Recognition

          Revenue is recorded in accordance with the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which supersedes SAB No. 101.Revenue from product sales are recognized at the time of shipment (when title has passed) upon fulfillment of acceptance terms; products are not sold on a conditional basis. Therefore, when delivery has occurred the sale is complete as long as the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

          The preparation of financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the collectivity of our accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has a concentration risk in trade accounts receivable with significant sales to the government and local agencies. The credit evaluation process has mitigated the credit risk, such losses have been minimal, and within management expectations.

Inventory Valuations, Components and Aging

          Inventories are valued at the lower cost or market. Determined by a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

          The Company’s products are used in radio and other transmissions, telephone and telephone exchanges, air and traffic controls, automatic transmission of data for utilities, tele-printing of transmission data such as news and stock market information and for use by electric utilities in monitoring power transmissions lines for faults and/or failures.

          The Company currently manufactures and supports over 400 products and assemblies that have been in the market place since 1970. The Company’s inventory represents approximately 10,000 different components and 2,500 assemblies.

          The Company presents its inventory in three categories, Finished Goods, Work-in-Process and Raw Materials. Finished Goods represents products that have been completed in connection with specific orders and are awaiting shipment. Finished Goods can consist of produces like the PDR-2000, PTR-1500 and 1000, Gen 1, 98 and 68 series. Work-in-Process represent components that have been requisitioned from the warehouse and are being assembled in the assembly areas. Depending on the configurations required by a customer, products are completed and tested within 8 to 10 business days. Raw Materials represent components in their original packaging stored in a secured warehouse

15


area, and may consist, in part, of Face plates, PC boards, Digital screen assemblies, Guide rails, Capacitors, Terminals, Power supplies, Process ships, Chassis and racks, Relays, Keypads and Resistors.

          The Company provides a twelve-year warranty on all commercial products and is required by Government regulation to design and produce military products with a minimum 25-year operating life in addition to shelf life.

          Every component, regardless of age, has been purchased to meet the above criteria and may be used in any and all above said assemblies. Management believes that this inventory, which is minimally adequate, is required to implement the Company’s commitments to military requirements for present and delivered orders.

          The Company, together with its independent auditors, following inventory analysis and repeated annual testing, established a 3-year rule for maintaining inventory, which requires a write-down policy for inventory parts depending on their age. The inventory is tested annually applying its 3-year rule and the Company classifies as current assets only that amount of inventory it expects to realize in the next one-year operating cycles, the balance of the inventory is classified as non-current. The non-current portion of the inventory consists of the same or like components as the current portion, however, the Company does not project these components being used in production in the next fiscal period. The Company expects to realize the non-current portion of the inventory through its normal sales activity over the next two fiscal years. Any parts which have not been used for 3 years are valued at zero. Any parts, written down to a zero value under the 3-year rule, are maintained in inventory to satisfy the requirements under our long-term warranty programs.

          While our inventory value at July 31, 2006 was approximately $ 1.7 million, the total of actual parts held in inventory exceeds $ 4.5 million.

Warranty

          The Company provides a twelve-year warranty on its products; the warranty covers parts and labor. The Company, at its option, repairs or replaces products that are found defective during the warranty period providing proper preventive maintenance procedures have been followed by customers. Repairs necessitated by misuse of such products are not covered by our warranty.

          In cases of defective products, the customer typically returns them to the Company’s facility in Somerville, New Jersey. The Company’s service personnel will replace or repair the defective items and ship them back to the customer. All servicing is completed at the Company’s main facility and customers are charged a fee for those service items that are not covered by the warranty. We do not offer our customers any formal written service contracts.

Income Taxes

          Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes.

Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENT

          The financial statements of Conolog Corporation, together with notes and the Independent Auditors Report, are set forth immediately following Item 14 of this Form 10-KSB.

Item 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

          None

Item 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

           The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

           Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that informaton required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

           The Company’s board of directors was advised by Bagell, Josephs, Levine & Company, L.L.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that during their performance of audit procedures for 2006 Bagell, Josephs, Levine & Company, L.L.C. identified a material weakness as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

           The deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews. However, the size of the Company prevents us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
Conolog Corporation
Somerville, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Conolog Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Conolog Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1-

NATURE OF ORGANIZATION

 

 

 

Conolog Corporation (the “Company”) is in the business of design, manufacturing and distribution of small electronic and electromagnetic components and subassemblies for use in telephone, radio and microwave transmissions and reception and other communication areas.

The Company’s customers include primarily industrial customers, which include power companies, and various branches of the military.

 

 

NOTE 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

 

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Conolog Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

 

 

Cash and Equivalents

 

 

 

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents balances at financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At times during the year, balances in certain bank accounts may exceed the FDIC insured limits.

 

 

 

Certificates of Deposit

   
 

At July 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had one year certificates of deposit totaling $2,622,812 and $2,534,417, with interest at a rate of 4.18% and 3.25% and maturing March 2006 and August 2006, respectively.

   

 

Inventories

 

 

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.

 

 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

 

 

Accounts Receivable are recorded at net realizable value.

 

 

 

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

JULY 31, 2006 AND 2005

 

 

NOTE 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(CONTINUED)

 

 

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

 

 

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, less allowances for depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (3 to 7 years) of the assets. Depreciation and amortization was $38,490 and $50,530 for the years ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Repairs and maintenance expenditures which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

 

 

 

Research and Development

 

 

 

Research and Development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s CM-100 Platform system, and directly charged to expense amounted to $376,713 during fiscal year July 31,2006. Research and Development costs directly charged to expense were $177,338 for the year ended July 31, 2005.

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

 

 

Revenue is recorded in accordance with the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which supersedes SAB No. 101. Revenue from product sales are recognized at the time of shipment (when title and risks and rewards of ownership have passed) upon fulfillment of acceptance terms; products are not sold on a conditional basis. Therefore, when delivery has occurred the sale is complete as long as the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

 

 

 

Advertising Costs

 

 

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $1,380 and $7,301 for the years ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

 

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

 

 

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $23,416 and $25,627 for the years ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

JULY 31, 2006 AND 2005

 

 

NOTE 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(CONTINUED)

 

 

 

Securities Issued for Services

 

 

 

The Company accounts for common stock issued for compensation services of Officers, Directors and employees by reference to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of stock issuance. Consulting service and commission expense is recorded at the rate that such services are normally paid at.

 

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

 

 

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

 

 

Income Taxes

 

 

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes.

 

 

 

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

 

 

 

Loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss (after dividends on preferred shares) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. The preferred dividends are not reflected in arriving at the net loss as they are not material and would have no effect on earning per share available to common shareholders. The number of weighted average shares used in the computations were 7,425,822 and 5,024,671 for 2006 and 2005 respectively. The effect of assuming the exchange of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in 2006 and 2005 would be anti-dilutive.

 

 

 

Reclassifications

 

 

 

Certain amounts for the year ended July 31, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the July 31, 2006 amounts. The reclassifications have no effect on the net loss for the year ended July 31, 2005.

Use of Estimates

 

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

 

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for small business issuers as of the first interim period that begins after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements. Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 and thereafter.

 

 

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (FAS 151), “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. FAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage. In addition, FAS 151 requires companies to base the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion on the normal capacity of production facilities. FAS 151 is effective for the Company in 2006. The Company does not expect FAS 151 to have a material impact on its results or financial statements.

In 1998, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation allowing emerging technology and/or biotechnology companies to sell their unused New Jersey Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) Carryover and Research and Development Tax Credits (“R&D” Credits) to corporate taxpayers in New Jersey. During fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement under which it sold a portion of its NOL carryover. The total proceeds of this transaction are recorded as a benefit in the accompanying financial statements. The remaining unsold portion of this NOL of $146,364 is recorded on the balance sheet as Other Current Assets.

 

 

 

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, and net operating losses.

 

 

 

The temporary differences causing deferred tax benefits are primarily due to net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has established a valuation allowance at the full value of the deferred tax asset.

 

 

 

At July 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $39,000,000 and $32,860,000 respectively, which is available to offset future Federal and State taxable income through 2026.

 

 

 

There was no provision for income taxes for the year ended July 31, 2006 and July 31, 2005.
