Overview
     ViewCast.com, Inc., doing business as ViewCast Corporation (“ViewCast”), develops video and audio communications products for delivering content dynamically via a variety of network types and protocols. These products include Osprey® Video capture cards, Niagara® video encoders/servers, and ViewCast® IVN enterprise software and systems. ViewCast products address the video capture, processing, and delivery requirements for a broad range of applications and markets.
     ViewCast is focused on growth by leveraging the video market expansion and our well-known products to capitalize on sales opportunities. We believe that emphasis on revenue and market share growth will enable us to realize long-term profitability and shareholder value.
     ViewCast is engaged in designing, developing and marketing video communications products and services. The products enable sophisticated video processing and communications and include the Osprey line of video capture cards, the ViewCast IVN (Interactive Video Network) systems, the Niagara line of video encoding systems and servers, and related application software such as SimulStream® and Niagara SCX®.

of Sales and Business Development Horace S. Irwin, and Vice President of Marketing Bob Greenberg. Our business was established in 1994 and became a public company in 1997. Our common stock and public warrants currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) under the symbol VCST-OB and VCSTW-OB. We are headquartered in Plano, Texas.
Discontinued Operations – Sale of Delta Computec Inc. Operating Assets
     ViewCast provided professional IT services focused on merged data and video networks through its wholly owned subsidiary Delta Computec Inc. (“DCi”) until the sale of the assets and operations of DCi on November 18, 2005. On November 18, 2005, ViewCast sold the assets and operations of DCi, subject to certain closing conditions, for a combination of $3,000,000 in cash at closing, $300,000 in contingent cash payments and the assumption of certain liabilities as outlined in the terms of the agreement. This transaction allowed ViewCast to retain the benefit of DCi as a reseller, installation and maintenance partner, while reinvesting in our core growth business of video communications products. Additionally, the proceeds of the sale were used to reduce debt and strengthen our balance sheet.
     Prior to the transaction, ViewCast had operated in two distinct business segments: (1) video communications products and services and (2) IT services and products. The previously reported IT services and products segment had been comprised of DCi’s business which is accounted for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation.
Key Elements Regarding Video Communications
     To efficiently transmit video images over communications networks, video data must be digitized and compressed to fit the capacity of the communication networks. As video is compressed, redundant data is eliminated and other data is “blended” with similar data to preserve the essence of the original image. Greater compression is required as the network capacity decreases. Once transmitted, the video image is reconstructed for display at the receiving end.
     The quality of the reconstructed video image is a function of the following three key elements:
    the sophistication of the video and audio compression algorithms;
 
    the capacity of a network to transmit data (bandwidth); and
 
    the speed and power of PCs and workstations.
     We believe cost-effective video communication applications and services are now attainable because the performance, capabilities and cost of the above three key elements have improved significantly. Networks have improved through the deployment of additional bandwidth by carriers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), new network technologies (such as multicast and wireless), faster capabilities to connect to networks (DSL, fiber and cable modem) and lower bandwidth costs. We believe that the unparalleled reach of the video-capable audience to receive video using an increasing variety of endpoint devices, such as distributed monitors, desk-top and laptop computers, PDAs, and mobile phones, has created increased demand and opportunity.
Industry Background and Market Drivers
     The market for video communications products is highly fragmented but is based on well established applications that can be delivered live or on demand including:
    receiving entertainment content (sports, music videos),
 
    monitoring processes (manufacturing),
 
    holding two-way meetings (conferencing),
 
    distributing timely news and other third-party information (financial and world events),
 
    delivering messages to an audience (CEOcasts, financial reporting, sales motivation),

Table of Contents

    providing education and training,
 
    delivering marketing and advertising messages, and
 
    maintaining and gathering security information.
     The number of individuals and their desire and ability to participate in these applications has increased dramatically due to the new and varied communications networks (dialup and broadband Internet, dedicated ISDN, wireless, T-1, optical fiber, etc.), the ever increasing number of devices to receive and view video, plus the technological innovations in hardware and software to process and distribute video locally or worldwide. Supplemental applications and markets include products addressing the variety of new video processing and distribution requirements and the sophisticated use of dynamic media, which has increased in new and varied venues such as corporate websites and e-commerce sites. Other opportunities are developing in the “digital home” environment as the number of broadband connections to the home increase.
     With low cost and highly versatile networks propagating throughout the media, business, government, and education arenas, these organizations increasingly expect video to be an integral part of their communications and information repertoire in parallel with data, text and voice. Video can utilize existing network capabilities and equipment but is enhanced with the appropriate matching of hardware, software and networks for the specific application. We believe organizations seek video products and services from network integrators and suppliers to implement and support workable solutions for their applications. We believe there will be increased usage of products and services that enable video communication within the desired quality, scalability and affordability parameters.

      and add revenues.
 
         Expand Sales, Marketing and Distribution — We believe investment in additional marketing and sales initiatives will be appropriate with the market more conducive to technology purchases including the system and application software areas. Our strategy is to utilize a combination of increased marketing exposure with our direct sales force, resellers, system integrators, OEMs and custom application developers to distribute and expand our product and service solutions.
 
         Maintain Efficient Operations — We will continue to monitor expenses during 2006.
 
         Implement Growth and Strategic Alternatives/Increase Financial Strength — We intend to continue our progress on plans and initiatives to increase the revenue growth rate and financial resources of ViewCast, including potential new capital resources and product, technology or channel related acquisitions.
 
         Continue to Increase and Enhance Our Strategic Partnerships — We have established significant industry partnerships with leaders in the technology and video industry. We intend to strengthen these partnerships and continue to establish new partnerships to enhance endorsements, referrals, technology, product development, channel distribution, and sales. We seek companies who can add valuable services, technology or bundling opportunities to our product offerings with the potential of future co-development, merger or acquisition by ViewCast.
ViewCast Products and Services
     ViewCast offers an array of video communication products that can be used for applications in the private and public sectors. Our standards-based and multi-standards based products complement each other and can be used in a variety of ways to best serve our customers’ needs. Our products also work within the framework of legacy systems, and are flexible enough to meet present and future needs. The ViewCast product family includes the Osprey® line of video capture cards, the Niagara® line of video encoding systems and servers, the ViewCast® IVN (Interactive Video Network) distribution and switching system and several other complementary products and technologies from leading suppliers.
     Osprey Video Capture Cards, Codecs and Video Peripheral Products. Under the well-known Osprey brand, we design, develop, manufacture and market standards-based video and audio capture cards and peripheral products for multimedia applications. Osprey cards are sold worldwide through OEMs, integrators, and a worldwide network of VARs and distributors and are recommended by Real Networks, Microsoft and other market leaders.

Our ViewCast IVN enterprise-wide video communication system collectively integrates previously separate video technologies into a single video switching and delivery environment. This suite of hardware and software technologies is known as the “ViewCast Interactive Video Network”. Video management software developed by ViewCast provides appropriate controls to each class of video user while removing the user from awareness of the technologies that source and deliver the video. ViewCast IVN integrates technologies that source, switch, distribute and manage live and stored video assets in a variety of applications including video conferencing, premise video distribution, distance learning, video resource sharing and personal video communication.
     ViewCast IVN provides switching, distribution, conferencing and gateway capabilities between broadband and narrowband networks and between desktops, conference rooms, and a variety of video communication resources. This product line has been applied to manage and deliver multiple simultaneous TV quality video connections to desktops, conference rooms, boardrooms, classrooms, lobbies, visitor centers, medical centers, trading floors, securities trading centers, industrial process control centers, courtrooms, correctional facilities, banks, and airports.
Marketing and Sales
     We market our products and services directly or via third-party distribution channels including, but not limited to, OEMs, VARs, distributors, and system integrators. These relationships are non-exclusive and typically require that these resellers participate in the marketing, installation and technical support of our products.
     Our video communication products and services are globally marketed to media and entertainment, Internet, corporate, financial, educational, security/telejustice, healthcare, governmental and network enterprises. In addition, our products are sold or licensed to integrators and VARs to integrate with their products or services. During 2005, there was no significant concentration of sales to one customer that was in excess of 10% of ViewCast’s annual consolidated sales revenues. We plan to build upon our established customer base by expanding distribution and sales and expanding our product market awareness and reach.
     Our reseller marketing program enhances our ability to cover domestic and international geographical territories and market segments in an efficient and cost-effective manner. This multi-tiered program provides benefits and rewards to our reseller partners for aggressively marketing ViewCast video products and services. Under the terms of the reseller program, an authorized reseller of ViewCast products must meet certain qualifications regarding its business, personnel, product and market knowledge, and support and service capabilities. Through this authorized reseller program, we support and enhance our channels of distribution to encourage placement of ViewCast video products into the marketplace.
Production and Supply
     We build our current video products using contract manufacturers in the United States and Asia. Our operations personnel in the Dallas, Texas area are responsible for parts planning, procurement, final testing and inspection to quality standards. We plan for most high-volume production to be handled through large OEMs or contract manufacturers.
     We have been and will continue to be dependent on third parties for the supply and manufacturing of our components and electronic parts, including standard and custom-designed components. We generally do not maintain supply agreements with such third parties but instead purchase components and electronic parts pursuant to purchase orders in the ordinary course of business. We are dependent on the ability of our third-party manufacturers and suppliers to meet our design, performance and quality specifications.
Installation, Service and Maintenance
     Most of our Osprey video card products and Niagara system products are customer installable. For those customers who need assistance with Niagara products and for the majority of our ViewCast IVN products, we utilize our resellers to install and provide service. Further, we maintain an in-house technical support group to assist our resellers and customers as required.

Table of Contents

     We offer limited warranties covering workmanship and materials, during which period our resellers or ViewCast will replace parts or make repairs. We maintain an in-house staff of engineering personnel and offer telephone support to assist resellers and end-users during normal business hours. In addition, we enter into annual contracts with end-users to provide software and hardware maintenance on our products.
Research and Development
     We continue to focus on research and development activities on video communications applications, video management and new features for expanded market opportunities. We will continue to make investments in core video technology and processing techniques, focusing on how to best apply the latest advancements in the industry into commercially viable products. In some cases, strategic partnerships will be utilized to enhance our research and development and potentially reduce costs. During the 2004 and 2005 fiscal years we spent approximately $1.83 and $2.28 million, respectively, in research and development activities with no significant portion of such expenses borne directly by our customers.
     New products or feature enhancements are scheduled for launch in 2006 in the Osprey, Niagara and ViewCast IVN product families that will provide new capabilities and features for video applications. We believe these products and services will be competitive and feature unique capabilities. We will maintain integration efforts with third party application software and hardware for our products and services.
Competition
     The market for video communication systems and services is highly competitive and characterized by the frequent introduction of new products and features based upon innovative technologies. We compete with numerous well-established manufacturers and suppliers of video streaming technologies, videoconferencing, networking, telecommunications and multimedia products, certain of which dominate the existing video communications market for such products. In addition, we are aware of others that are developing, and in some cases have introduced, new video communications systems.
     We are not aware of any direct competitors that compete in all of our video communication product families and applications. However, among our direct competitors competing with one or more of our products or applications are: Winnov, LP, Optibase Ltd., Digital Rapids, Avistar Communications Corp., AJA Video Systems, Inc., Tandberg Inc., and Polycom, Inc. Electronics manufacturers such as Cisco Systems, Inc. may be sales channels for our products but also actively compete for business in this market.
Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Proprietary Information
     We hold a U.S. patent covering certain aspects of compressed video and have four patents pending covering certain aspects of an audio encoding method, a confidence monitor and system, a front panel interface, and a media encoder system. Although we do not believe these patents or any other patent is essential to our business operations, we may apply for additional patents relating to other aspects of our products. We also rely on copyright laws to protect our software applications, which we consider proprietary.
     We believe that product recognition is an important competitive factor and, accordingly, we promote the ViewCast®, Osprey®, Niagara®, SimulStream®, Niagara SCX®,and ViewCast® IVN names, among others, in connection with our marketing activities, and have applied for or received trademark or service mark registration for such names. Our use of these marks and our trade names may be subject to challenge by others, which, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
     We also rely on confidentiality agreements with our directors, employees, consultants and manufacturers and employ various methods to protect the source codes, concepts, ideas, proprietary know-how and documentation of our proprietary technology. However, such methods may not afford us complete protection, and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar know-how or obtain access to our know-how or software codes, concepts, ideas and documentation. Furthermore, although we have and expect to continue to have

8


Table of Contents

confidentiality agreements with our directors, employees, consultants, manufacturers, and appropriate vendors, there can be no assurance that such arrangements will adequately protect our trade secrets.
     We purchase certain components that are incorporated into our products from third-party suppliers and rely on their assurances that such components do not infringe on the patents of others. A successful claim against any components used in our products could affect our ability to manufacture, supply and support our products. We use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure third-party supplied components are non-infringing, but there can be no assurances against future claims.
Government Regulation
     We are subject to Federal Communications Commission regulations relating to electromagnetic radiation from our products, which impose compliance burdens on us. In the event we redesign or otherwise modify our products or complete the development of new products, we will be required to comply with Federal Communications Commission regulations with respect to such products. Our foreign markets require us to comply with additional regulatory requirements.
Employees
     As of March 15, 2006, we had fifty-seven (57) employees, five (5) of whom are in executive positions, ten (10) of whom are engaged in engineering, research and development, eighteen (18) of whom are engaged in marketing and sales activities, fifteen (15) of whom are engaged in operations and nine (9) of whom are in finance and administration. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We consider our employee relations to be satisfactory.

These products include Osprey Video capture cards, Niagara video encoders/servers, and ViewCast IVN enterprise software and systems. ViewCast products address the video capture, processing, and delivery requirements for a broad range of applications and markets.
     These video communications products are installed in computers, appliances, or within a communications network and are used for a variety of video communication applications, including corporate communications, information gathering, security, training, distance learning, conferencing, Internet video and broadcast applications. Corporations, media organizations, financial institutions, educational networks, healthcare facilities, and government agencies utilize our products and services, as do their customers, vendors and others with whom they may communicate. ViewCast markets its video products and services directly to end-users, through original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), value-added resellers (“VARs”) and computer system integrators, worldwide.
     ViewCast is focused on growth by leveraging the video market expansion and our well-known products to capitalize on sales opportunities. We believe that emphasis on revenue and market share growth will enable us to realize long-term profitability and shareholder value.
Discontinued Operations
     ViewCast provided professional IT services focused on merged data and video networks through its wholly owned subsidiary Delta Computec Inc. (“DCi”) until the sale of the assets and operations of DCi on November 18, 2005. On November 18, 2005, ViewCast sold the assets and operations of DCi, subject to certain closing conditions, for a combination of $3,000,000 in cash at closing, $300,000 in contingent cash payments and the assumption of certain liabilities as outlined in the terms of the agreement. This transaction allowed ViewCast to retain the benefit of DCi as a reseller, installation and maintenance partner, while reinvesting in our core growth business of video communications products. Additionally, the proceeds of the sale were used to reduce debt and strengthen our balance sheet.
     Prior to the transaction, ViewCast had operated in two distinct business segments: (1) video communications products and services and (2) IT services and products. The previously reported IT services and products segment had been comprised of DCi’s business which is accounted for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation.
Financial Highlights of 2005
     Total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 were $11,559,204, a 22.5% increase from revenues of $9,439,042 reported for the same period in 2004. Total operating expenses of $7,945,634 for the fiscal year of 2005 were up 21.1% when compared to the $6,561,608 for the fiscal year of 2004. Operating loss of $1,251,356 for the fiscal year of 2005 increased over the $807,450 operating loss reported in 2004.
     Net loss for the twelve months of 2005 was $3,056,266 or ($0.16) per share, compared to a net loss for 2004 of $2,845,372, or ($0.17) per share. The overall increase in the net loss was due to increased sales, marketing and development expenses and increased net loss from the discontinued operations, offset by an increase in gross profit, and a decrease in debt conversion expense related to the conversion of debentures in the second quarter of 2004 and the conversion of redeemable, convertible preferred stock in the first quarter of 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies
     Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (USGAAP). We review the accounting policies we use in reporting our financial results on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, investments, warranty obligations, income taxes, restructuring and contingencies and litigation. Our estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition to the items listed above which are affected by estimates, we believe that the following are critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
  §   Revenue Recognition – We apply provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements as revised by SAB 104, Revenue Recognition, SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions and EITF 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables to transactions involving sales of our hardware and software products. Under these guidelines, we recognize revenue on transactions where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has transferred, product payment is not contingent upon performance of installation or service obligations, the price is fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured. We accrue warranty costs and sales allowances for promotional activities at time of shipment based on historical experience. In addition, we defer revenue associated with maintenance and support contracts and recognize revenue ratably over the contract term.
 
  §   Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers or distribution partners were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
 
  §   Excess and Obsolete Inventories – We write down our inventories for estimated obsolescence and unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less than those projected by management, additional write-downs may be required.
 
  §   Deferred Taxes – We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In our opinion, realization of our net operating loss carryforward is not reasonably assured, and a valuation allowance has been provided against deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. However, should we in the future determine that realization of deferred tax assets in excess of recorded amounts is likely, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2005 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004.
     Net Sales. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 22.5% to $11,559,204 from $9,439,042 reported in 2004. The overall increase was due to increases in both capture card and systems revenue.
     Osprey Product Sales. During the year ended December 31, 2005, sales of Osprey video products increased 13.8% over 2004 levels and represented 75.7% of total 2005 video product revenues, compared to 81.5% in 2004. The 2005 European sales of Osprey products improved 2.5% over 2004 levels, while domestic sales and Pacific Rim sales decreased by 2.9% and 5.1%, respectively over 2004 levels.
     ViewCast IVN Video Distribution Systems and Niagara® Streaming/Encoding Systems. During the year ended December 31, 2005, combined systems sales totaled $2,657,321 and represented 23.0% of total 2005 video product

13


Table of Contents

revenues, an increase of 66.3% over 2004 combined system sales. The increase was due to Niagara systems sales increasing by 72.3% over 2004 levels and ViewCast IVN systems sales experienced a 31.5% increase over the same period. The increases are mainly due to increased usage of streaming and distributed video for broadcasting, business and governmental applications.
     Other Revenues. Other video product revenues consisting of software maintenance, training, engineering consulting fees and professional services totaled $150,356 during 2005, a slight increase of $1,139 compared to $149,217 reported in 2004.
     Cost of Goods Sold/Gross Margins. Cost of goods sold totaled $4,864,926 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a 32.0% increase from $3,684,884 reported in 2004. Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $6,694,278, an increase of 16.3% over the prior year of $5,754,158.
     We anticipate gross margins, as a percentage of total revenues, will remain in excess of 50% for the video products. Margins will be affected quarter to quarter by promotional activities, price adjustments, cost of materials, inventory obsolescence, introduction of new products and the sales mix between products and services in any one reporting period.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $5,470,746, an increase of 19.0% from $4,599,165 reported last year. The increase reflects an overall increase in sales and marketing related expense partially offset by a 1.8% reduction in expense from finance and administration.
     Research and Development Expense. During 2005, research and development expense totaled $2,284,566, an increase of 24.7% over 2004 level reflecting an increase in personnel, prototype and related expenses. We have continued to develop new products and features in particular focusing on Niagara appliance and software initiatives.
     Other Expense. Total other expense declined for 2005 from $1,434,909 compared to $1,973,922 in 2004. Interest expense for 2005 and 2004 was $950,588 and $814,047, respectively, representing interest primarily from our stockholder debt. Interest expense increased 16.8% over 2004 levels principally due to the increase of the principal through amendments to our stockholder debt.
     Other expense had a significant reduction due to the charge for debt conversion expense. During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, ViewCast recognized a non-cash debt conversion expense of $1,233,723 related to the conversion of $870,000 of outstanding 7% convertible debentures into common stock and warrants of ViewCast. The non-cash charge was recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt”. In other expense, the Company has recognized an imputed amount for debt conversion expense equal to the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. This conversion transaction results in a net reduction in convertible debt and an increase in net equity of $870,000. The debt conversion expense is a non-cash charge and is a reconciling adjustment in calculating net cash used in operating activities. In 2005, ViewCast recognized non-cash debt conversion expense of $485,798 related to the conversion of redeemable, convertible preferred stock into common stock of ViewCast. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding this transaction.
     Loss from Discontinued Operations. Loss from discontinued operations was $341,751 compared to $64,000 in 2004. The increase in loss is primarily due to the sale of DCi’s assets and operation and related accounting, legal and other transaction expenses.
     Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $3,056,266, an increase of 7.4% over the $2,845,372 loss reported in the comparable period in 2004. The overall increase in the net loss was due to increased sales, marketing and development expenses and increased net loss from the discontinued operations, offset by increased gross profit and the decrease in debt conversion expense related to the conversion of debentures in the second quarter of 2004 and the conversion of redeemable, convertible preferred stock in the first quarter of 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     ViewCast’s primary sources of funds for conducting its business activities are derived from sales of its products and services, from its credit facilities and from the placement of its equity securities with investors. ViewCast requires working capital primarily to increase inventories and accounts receivable during sales growth, develop products, service debt, purchase capital assets, fund operating losses and acquire the operations of others.
     Excluding discontinued operations, net cash utilized in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $2,269,548, an increase from the $1,160,284 net cash used in operating activities during 2004. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 was due to the net loss from operations of $2,714,515 offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $89,755 and by non-cash operating expenses of $696,963. Cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities was principally due to increases in accrued expenses and interest offset by cash utilized for increased accounts receivable and inventories.
     Excluding discontinued operations, cash utilized for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $189,996. Cash utilized for investing activities included purchases of $189,996 for computer equipment, demo equipment, and other assets to support video product operations.
     During the year ended December 31, 2005, ViewCast’s financing activities, excluding discontinued operations, generated cash of $454,258 principally due to short-term borrowings under the terms of our stockholder line of credit facility in the amount of $450,000 and proceeds from the sale of common stock and exercise of stock options of $10,520.
     ViewCast’s discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 had a net loss of $341,751. Net cash generated in discontinuing operating activities for the year totaled $238,138. Net cash provided in investing activities totaled $3,270,723 primarily from the proceeds related to the sale of assets and operations. The net cash utilized in financing activities was for debt repayments of $302,823.
     Since October 1998, ViewCast has maintained a working capital line of credit facility with an entity controlled by one of its principal stockholders, Mr. H.T. Ardinger, who also currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of ViewCast. In October 2003, ViewCast.com, Inc., Osprey Technologies, Inc. and VideoWare, Inc. (jointly and severally, “the Borrower”) amended the terms and conditions of this credit note and security agreement with the Ardinger Family Partnership, LTD. (“Lender”). Effective October 15, 2003, the terms and conditions of the note agreement were amended to establish a long-term payout for $6,909,582 principal amount of the note and accrued interest of $1,243,665. Additionally, a new $2.0 million short-term line of credit facility was established with an initial principal amount $1.1 million. The amended note agreement is secured by all assets of the Borrower.
     Effective April 30, 2004 and August 31, 2004, ViewCast entered into amendments of the terms and conditions of the credit facility to increase the credit line of the revolving credit note from $2.0 million to $3.0 million and extended the commencement date for the scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from April 30, 2004 to December 31, 2004. Effective March 22, 2005, ViewCast amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility to increase the credit line of the revolving credit note to $3.5 million and extended the commencement date of scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from December 31, 2004 to July 31, 2005. Effective July 22, 2005, ViewCast amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility to increase the credit line of the revolving credit note to $4.0 million and extended the commencement date of scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from July 31, 2005 to November 30, 2005. Subsequently, on March 22, 2006, ViewCast amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility to extend the revolving maturity date of the Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Revolving Credit Note) from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006, to extend the term maturity date of the Term Loan from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 and to extend the commencement date of scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from November 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006.
     During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, net borrowings under the new stockholder line of credit note were $450,000 resulting in a principal balance of $3,350,000. At December 31, 2005 ViewCast had outstanding $494,278 in stockholder accrued interest attributable to the stockholder line of credit.
     During October 2002 through June 2003, ViewCast issued 150,670 shares of Series D Preferred Stock as partial consideration for the acquisition of DCi and for related investment banking fees. As of December 31, 2005 all shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been converted into Company common stock. Each share of Series D Preferred

Table of Contents

Stock has a stated value of $10.00 with a conversion option to common stock at $1.50 per share of Company common stock. The Series D Preferred Stock provided redemption rights for the holders and ViewCast, and other rights as described in the Certificate of Designation of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock was redeemable at its stated value at the holders’ option upon written notice at any time after October 11, 2004, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
     Effective March 21, 2005, ViewCast temporarily lowered the conversion price of each of its outstanding Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock from $1.50 to $0.55 per share. As a result, each Preferred Share was convertible into 18.18 shares of ViewCast common stock based on a stated value of $10.00 per Preferred Share so long as the stockholder converted by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on or before April 15, 2005. During March 2005, stockholders converted 146,138 shares of Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into 2,657,058 shares of common stock of ViewCast. During April 2005, the remaining shareholders converted 4,532 shares of Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into 82,400 shares of common stock of ViewCast. The conversions were made pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This conversion transaction resulted in a net reduction in debt and an increase in net equity of $1,506,700. The debt conversion expense is a non-cash charge and is a reconciling adjustment in calculating net cash used in operating activities. During the year ended December 31, 2005, ViewCast recognized a non-cash debt conversion charge of $485,798 related to this transaction that is more fully described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
     At December 31, 2005, ViewCast had 3,833,012 public and public equivalent warrants and 122,500 representative warrants outstanding and exercisable at $1.00. On January 20, 2006, ViewCast extended the expiration date of its public and public equivalent common stock purchase warrants from the prior expiration date of February 3, 2006 to February 3, 2007. Additionally, ViewCast decreased the exercise price of these warrants to $0.275 per share from $1.00 per share beginning on March 1, 2006, until the warrant expiration date. The warrants are redeemable by the Registrant under certain conditions.
     At December 31, 2005, ViewCast had a consolidated stockholders’ deficit of $9,036,019, and in accordance with Delaware law, was precluded from paying dividends on its outstanding Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock. As a result, no preferred stock dividends have been declared or paid during 2005. The Series B and Series C preferred stock issues carry cumulative dividends of 8% and 9% per year, respectively, and are generally payable semi-annually in arrears in cash or in ViewCast common stock, at ViewCast’s option. Cumulative dividends in arrears on preferred shares are approximately: Series B-$2,560,000, Series C-$720,000. Holders of Series B and Series C preferred stock have no voting rights except as required by law.
     At December 31, 2005, ViewCast had a working capital deficit of $480,815 and cash and cash equivalents of $1,432,738. During the year ended December 31, 2005, ViewCast experienced a sales increase of 22.5% compared to the same period of 2005, and while wary of current economic conditions, management anticipates that revenues during 2006 will continue to increase over 2005 levels. Net operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $443,906 compared to the same period in 2004. ViewCast also anticipates that losses may occur during 2006, or until such time as total profit margins from the sales of its products and services exceeds its total development, selling, administrative and financing costs.
     ViewCast utilizes significant capital to design, develop and commercialize its products and intends to fund its operating activities and sales growth during the next twelve months by utilizing cash contributed from operations and its available working capital lines of credit to the extent available. ViewCast anticipates it will require additional working capital during 2006 to support the expansion of sales channels and market distribution, to develop and introduce new products and services, to enhance existing product offerings, to address unanticipated competitive threats or technical problems, to transition adverse economic conditions, to service its debt and for potential acquisition transactions.
     ViewCast plans to improve its working capital position by increasing sales and through other initiatives that may include raising additional equity, conversion of debt to equity and by exercise of warrants if market conditions allow. Certain actions have already occurred. ViewCast’s increased product sales and cash flow, coupled with recent initiatives to restructure its balance sheet have made significant improvements to its financial position. In April 2004, $870,000 of debentures converted into equity. In March and April 2005, $1,506,700 of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into common stock equity. Additionally, ViewCast sold the assets and operations of DCi, subject to certain closing conditions, for a combination of $3,000,000 in cash at closing, $300,000 in contingent cash payments and the assumption of certain liabilities as outlined in the terms of the

Table of Contents

agreement. This transaction allows ViewCast to retain the benefit of DCi as a reseller and installation and maintenance partner, while reinvesting in ViewCast’s core growth business of video communications products. Additionally, the proceeds of the sale were used to reduce debt and strengthen our balance sheet.
     ViewCast intends to continue these initiatives and discussions related to current and potentially new debt and equity relationships. Although ViewCast has no other firm arrangements with respect to additional capital financing, it considers on an ongoing basis proposals received from potential investors relating to the issuance of equity securities in exchange for a cash investment in ViewCast. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to ViewCast on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders. ViewCast intends to actively pursue other strategic merger and acquisition activities to the extent possible. In the event we are unable to raise additional capital or execute other alternatives, we may be required to sell segments of the business, or substantially reduce or curtail our activities. Such actions could result in charges that could be material to ViewCast’s results of operations or financial position.
     At December 31, 2005, ViewCast had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Operating Leases
     The following table summarizes ViewCast’s operating leases with definitive payment terms that will require cash outlays in the future. These amounts are as of December 31, 2005:
                                                         
Contractual Obligations                           (In thousands)            
and Commitments:   2006   2007   2008   2009   2010   Thereafter   Total
 
Operating leases
  $ 265     $ 249     $ 237     $ 207     $ 205     $ 68     $ 1,231  
     ViewCast is obligated under various operating lease agreements, primarily for office facilities that expire at various dates through 2011. The scheduled monthly base rental payments for facilities range from $5,122 to $17,898 and differ from the monthly rental expense due to free or varied monthly rental payments during the term of the lease agreements.
New Accounting Standards
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) enacted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 — revised 2004 (“SFAS 123R”), Share-Based Payment, which replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires the measurement of all employee share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in ViewCast’s consolidated statement of earnings. The accounting provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
     The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. See Note 2 in the financial statements for the pro forma net loss and loss per share amounts for 2004 and 2005 as if ViewCast had used a fair-value-based method required under SFAS 123 to measure compensation expense for employee stock incentive awards. In 2006, ViewCast estimates that it will record $928 in option expense.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     ViewCast does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on ViewCast’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
ViewCast.com, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ViewCast.com, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ViewCast.com, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company incurred significant losses and had significant negative cash flows from operations during 2005 and has a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2005. The Company is dependent upon the proceeds from additional sales of its equity securities or other alternative financing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. The Company and Description of Business
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ViewCast.com, Inc. dba ViewCast Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Delta Computec Inc., VideoWare, Inc., Osprey Technologies, Inc. and ViewCast Online Solutions, Inc. (collectively, ViewCast or the Company). The Company is engaged in developing and marketing video and audio communications products for delivering content dynamically via a variety of network types and protocols. These products include Osprey® Video capture cards, Niagara® video encoders/servers, and ViewCast® IVN enterprise software and systems. ViewCast products address the video capture, processing, and delivery requirements for a broad range of applications and markets. The Company markets its video products and services directly to end-users, through original equipment manufacturers, value-added resellers and computer system integrators, worldwide. On November 18, 2005, the Company sold the assets and operations of Delta Computec Inc., a provider of professional information technology services and products, for a combination of $3,000,000 in cash at closing, $300,000 in contingent cash payments and the assumption of certain liabilities as outlined in the terms of the agreement. This transaction allowed the Company to retain the benefit of DCi as a reseller, installation and maintenance partner, while reinvesting in the Company’s core growth business of video communication products.
    The Company utilizes significant capital to design, develop and commercialize its products and intends to fund its 2005 operating activities and sales growth by utilizing cash contributed from operations and its available working capital lines of credit to the extent possible. As there is a net working deficit as of December 31, 2005, the Company anticipates it will require additional working capital during 2006 to support operations and the expansion of sales channels and market distribution, to develop and introduce new products and services, to enhance existing product offerings, to address unanticipated competitive threats or technical problems, to transition adverse economic conditions and for potential acquisition transactions. Although the Company has no firm arrangements with respect to additional financing, it is currently considering proposals relating to the issuance of equity securities in exchange for a cash investment in the Company. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders. In the event the Company is unable to raise additional capital or execute other alternatives, we may be required to sell segments of the business, or substantially reduce or curtail our activities. Such actions could result in charges that could be material to ViewCast’s results of operations or financial position.
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred significant net losses of $2,845,372, and $3,056,266 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. These losses, in conjunction with the matters discussed above, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Principles of Consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 4 regarding discontinued operations.
     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
     Accounts Receivable
     The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily due from resellers and distributors of its video distribution. Credit is extended based on evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and, generally collateral is not

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
required except for certain international customers. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts are considered past due if outstanding longer than contractual payment terms. The Company records an allowance on a specific basis by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the credit-worthiness of individual customers, economic conditions affecting specific customer industries and economic conditions in general. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited against write-offs in the period the payment is received.
     Changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 are as follows:
                 
    Year ended December 31,  
    2004     2005  
Beginning balance
  $ 72,032     $ 13,382  
Bad debt expense
    (58,191 )     20,722  
Uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries
    (459 )     (20,933 )
 
           
 
Ending balance
  $ 13,382     $ 13,171  
 
           
     Inventories
     Inventories consist primarily of purchased electronic components and computer system products, along with the related documentation manuals and packaging materials. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined at average cost.
     In order to assess the ultimate realization of inventories, the Company is required to make judgments as to the future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Write downs are made to the lower of cost or market when projected demand requirements decrease due to market conditions, technological obsolescence and product life cycle changes.
     Property and Equipment
     Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, generally three to seven years, of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the term of the related leases. Service assets include equipment located at customer sites. Service assets are depreciated over the expected life of three years, or if the equipment is utilized in service operations, it is immediately expensed if the replacement part, which is recovered, is not repairable. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred; renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on the disposition of property and equipment are recorded in the period incurred.
     Software Development Costs
     Costs of developing new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, after which time additional costs incurred are capitalized. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when products are available for general release to customers, and is computed using the greater of the revenue method or the straight-line method over a period not to exceed three years. Capitalized Software consists of the following:
                                         
    December 31, 2004     December 31, 2005  
    Average     Gross             Gross        
    life     carrying     Accumulated     carrying     Accumulated  
    (years)     amount     amortization     amount     amortization  
Capitalized Software
    3     $ 851,635     $ 667,239     $ 851,635     $ 728,704

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — Continued
     The estimated aggregate amortization expenses for the next two succeeding years are as follows:
         
2006
  $ 61,465  
2007
    61,466  
 
     
 
  $ 122,931  
 
     
     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     Assets that are held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flow generated by those assets is less than the carrying amounts of such assets. The amount of impairment is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of such assets. Assets held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less selling costs. No impairment charges were recognized for years ended 2004 and 2005.
     Revenue Recognition
     The Company applies provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements as revised by SAB 104, Revenue Recognition, SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions and EITF 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables to transactions involving sales of its hardware and software products. Under these guidelines, the Company recognizes revenue on transactions where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has transferred, product payment is not contingent upon performance of installation or service obligations, the price is fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured. The Company accrues warranty costs and sales allowances for promotional activities at time of shipment based on historical experience.
     Product sales are recognized upon shipment, provided title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, there is evidence of an arrangement, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Transactions that do not meet all these requirements are deferred until the point at which these requirements are satisfied.
     Net Loss Per Share
     Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Since the Company has reported net losses for all periods presented, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, options, and warrants since their effect is anti-dilutive.
     Following is a summary of average outstanding excluded securities:

     Warranty Reserves
     Reserves are provided for the estimated warranty costs when revenue is recognized. The costs of warranty obligations are estimated based on the Company’s warranty policy or applicable contractual warranty, historical experience of known product failure rates and use of materials and service delivery charges incurred in correcting product failures. Specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. If actual experience, relative to these factors, adversely differs from these estimates, additional warranty expense may be required.
     The following table below shows the roll forward of the warranty reserve for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005:

     Risks and Uncertainties
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents with commercial banks in Texas. The Company sells its products and services primarily to end users, distributors and resellers without requiring collateral; however, the Company routinely assesses the financial condition of its customers and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. The following table outlines the number of customers that accounted for more than 10% of annual sales and receivable balances:
                                 
    Customers Exceeding 10%   Customers exceeding 10% of
    of Net Sales   Year-End Accounts Receivable
                    Balance
    Number of   Combined   Number of   Combined
Year   Customers   Percent   Customers   Percent
2004
    2       27 %     2       33 %
2005
                2       22 %
     The Company believes it has no significant credit risk in excess of provided reserves.
     The Company is substantially dependent on its third-party suppliers and manufacturers to supply its components and electronic parts, including standard and custom-designed components.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements are related primarily to accounts receivable allowances, inventory valuation, warranty reserves, deferred tax asset valuation allowances and the recoverability of other intangibles related to acquisitions. Management believes the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Income Taxes
     The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes wherein deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it becomes more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
     Advertising Costs
     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 was $198,888 and $475,066, respectively.
     Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The Company believes that the carrying amount of certain of its financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company also believes the carrying value of its long-term debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2005 because actual interest rates were consistent with rates estimated to be available for obligations with similar terms and conditions.
     Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in its primary financial statements and has provided supplemental disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.”
     Option exercise prices are equal to the market price on the date of grant. A portion of the shares under grant become exercisable after one year and remaining shares vest monthly thereafter on a straight line basis over the vesting term of the option (generally three to five years). Options expire after ten years.
     SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share information computed as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method set forth in SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
                 
    2004   2005
Risk-free interest rate
    3.87 %     4.15 %
Dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
Volatility factor of the market price of the Company’s common stock
    111 %     108 %
Expected life of the options (years)
    4.8       4.5

     For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting periods. Pro forma information for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 is as follows:
                 
    2004     2005

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) enacted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 — revised 2004 (“SFAS 123R”), Share-Based Payment, which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires the measurement of all employee share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The accounting provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
     The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. See the Stock-Based Compensation section shown earlier in this note for the pro forma net loss and loss per share amounts for 2004 and 2005 as if the Company had used a fair-value-based method required under SFAS 123 to measure compensation expense for employee stock incentive awards. In 2006, the Company estimates it will record $928 in option expense. The Company will be adopting SFAS 123R under the modified prospective method in 2006.
Reclassifications of Prior Year Amounts
     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation due to discontinuing its DCi operations.

7. Stockholder Line of Credit and Other Short-term Debt
     Stockholder Line of Credit
     Since October 1998, the Company has maintained a working capital line of credit facility with an entity controlled by one of its principal stockholders, Mr. H.T. Ardinger, who also currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. In October 2003, ViewCast.com, Inc., Osprey Technologies, Inc. and VideoWare, Inc. (jointly and severally, “the Borrower”) amended the terms and conditions of this credit note and security agreement with the Ardinger Family Partnership, LTD. (“Lender”). Effective October 15, 2003, the terms and conditions of the note agreement were amended to establish a long-term payout for $6,909,582 principal amount of the note and accrued interest of $1,243,665. Additionally, a new $2.0 million short-term line of credit facility was established with an initial principal amount $1.1 million. The amended note agreement is secured by all assets of the Borrower.
     During 2004, the Company entered into amendments of the terms and conditions of the credit facility to increase the credit line of the revolving credit note to $3.0 million and extended the commencement date for the scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest to December 31, 2004. Effective March 22, 2005, the

Company amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility to increase the credit line of the revolving credit note to $3.5 million and extended the commencement date of scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from December 31, 2004 to July 31, 2005. Effective July 22, 2005, the Company amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility to increase the credit line of the revolving credit note to $4.0 million and extended the commencement date of scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from July 31, 2005 to November 30, 2005. Subsequently, on March 22, 2006, ViewCast amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility to extend the revolving maturity date of the Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Revolving Credit Note) from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006, to extend the term maturity date of the Term Loan from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 and to extend the commencement date of scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from November 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006.
     During the year ended December 31, 2005, borrowings, net of repayments, were $450,000 resulting in a note principal balance of $3,350,000. At December 31, 2005, the Company had availability under the stockholder line of credit of $650,000. At December 31, 2005 the Company had outstanding $494,278 in stockholder accrued interest attributable to the stockholder line of credit.

     Stockholder Term Note
     In October 2003, the Company amended the terms and conditions of its then outstanding stockholder line of credit to establish a long-term payout for the $6,909,582 principal amount of the note and the amended note agreement significantly reduced the per annum interest rate from the original 12% fixed rate and accrued interest of $1,243,665. The term note accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of prime plus 3.0% (7.25% as of December 31, 2005) or 9.5% and requires monthly principal repayments of $19,193 commencing on June 30, 2006 and continuing on the last day of each calendar month with a balloon payment for the remaining principal amount due December 31, 2007 (See Note 7).

9. Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
     During October 2002 through June 2003, the Company issued 150,670 shares of Series D Preferred Stock as partial consideration for the acquisition of DCi and for related investment banking fees. Series D Preferred Stock of $1,506,700 at December 31, 2004 is presented as a current liability due to the October 11, 2004 initial redemption date. As of April 2005, all shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been converted into Company common stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock had a stated value of $10.00 with a conversion option to common stock at $1.50 per share of Company common stock. The Series D Preferred Stock provided redemption rights for the holders and the Company, and other rights as described in the Certificate of Designation of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock was redeemable at its stated value at the holders’ option upon written notice at any time after October 11, 2004, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
10. Conversion of Convertible Debt to Equity
     In other income (expense), the Company has recognized in 2005 and in 2004 an imputed amount for debt conversion expense equal to the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. The debt conversion expense is a non-cash charge and is a reconciling adjustment in calculating net cash used in operating activities. The conversions were made pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
     Effective March 21, 2005, the Company temporarily lowered the conversion price of each of its outstanding Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares from $1.50 to $0.55 per share. As a result, each Preferred Share was convertible into 18.18 shares of ViewCast common stock based on a stated value of $10.00 per Preferred Share so long as the stockholder converted by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on or before April 15, 2005. During March and April 2005, stockholders converted 150,670 shares of Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into 2,739,458 shares of common stock of the Company. This conversion transaction results in a net reduction in convertible debt and an increase in net equity of $1,506,700.

     In April 2004, the Company received Notices of Conversion from the holders of $870,000 of the outstanding 7% Senior Convertible Debentures. The terms of the conversion included a lowered conversion price of the Debentures from $5.00 per share to $0.41 per share of ViewCast common stock or a total of 2,121,947 shares of common stock for the $870,000 converted. In addition, the converting Debenture holders received 635,970 warrants exercisable for three (3) years into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.45 per Warrant Share. This conversion transaction resulted in a net reduction in convertible debt and an increase in net equity of $870,000.

11. Income Taxes
     The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the opinion of management, realization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforward is not reasonably assured, and a valuation allowance of $24,971,000 and $26,239,000 has been provided against deferrred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

12. Stockholders’ Deficit
     Preferred Stock
     In December 1998 through February 1999, the Company received net proceeds of $8,834,346 from the private placement of 945,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at $10 per share. Two principal stockholders of the Company purchased $4,000,000 and $2,000,000 of the offering, respectively and other existing stockholders purchased the balance of $3.45 million. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock of the Company at a fixed price of $3.625 per share, subject to certain requirements, and carries a dividend of 8% per year payable in cash or common stock of the Company, at the Company’s option.
     In November 2001, the Company received net proceeds of $2,000,000 from the private placement of 200,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at $10 per share with H.T. Ardinger, Jr., a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Board of the Company. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock of the Company at a fixed price of $0.60 per share, subject to certain requirements, and carries a dividend of 9% per year payable in cash or common stock of the Company, at the Company’s option.
     Holders of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights except on amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the authorized shares, or par value, or to alter or change the powers or preferences of their respective preferred stock issues.
     At December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company had a consolidated stockholders’ deficit of $7,982,771 and $5,718,403 respectively, and in accordance with Delaware law, was precluded from paying dividends on its outstanding Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, no preferred stock dividends were declared or paid during 2004 and 2005. The Series B and Series C Preferred Stock issues carry cumulative dividends of 8% and 9% per year, respectively, and are generally payable semi-annually in arrears in cash or common stock of the Company, at the Company’s option. Cumulative dividends on Series B, and Series C preferred shares in arrears at December 31, 2004 are $1,920,077 and $538,856, respectively; and at December 31, 2005 are $2,558,328 and $719,848, respectively.

     During 2004, the Company received $1,066 from the exercise of stock options to purchase 4,332 common shares of the Company at an average exercise price of $0.25 per share.
     During 2005, the Company received $10,515 in proceeds from the sale of 45,056 shares of common stock to employees under the terms of the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The employee purchase price was approximately $0.24 per share.
     Stock Option Plans
     In October of 2005, the Company adopted the ViewCast 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, which replaced the Company’s expired stock option plans (the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan and the 1995 Director Stock Option Plan) and become the sole plan for providing equity-based incentive compensation to the Company’s employees, non-employee directors and other service providers. Options granted under the expired stock option plans will continue to be subject to the terms of those plans in effect before the effective date of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements-Continued
The plan allows for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other incentive awards to employees, non-employee directors and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates who are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company and its affiliates. The purposes of the plan are to attract and retain individuals, further align employee and shareholder interests, and closely link compensation with Company performance. The plan is administered by the Board of Directors.
     The maximum number of shares available for grant under the plan is 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, plus any shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the Company’s prior stock option plans as of the date the plan was approved by ViewCast’s stockholders that later cease to be subject to such awards for any reason other than such awards having been exercised or expired, which shares of Common Stock shall, as of the date such shares cease to be subject to such awards, cease to be available for grant under the prior stock options plans, but shall be available for issuance under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The number of shares available for award under the plan is subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes in accordance with the provisions of the plan.
     In April 1995, the Company adopted its 1995 Stock Plan (the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan) under which 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was reserved for issuance to officers, key employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the plan may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. In July 1999 and August 2000, stockholders of the Company approved proposals to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 1995 Stock Plan to 4,900,000 and 5,900,000, respectively. The 1995 Stock Plan expired in April 2005.
     In April 1995, the Company also adopted the 1995 Director Option Plan under which 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance to outside directors of the Company. In September 2002, stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 1995 Director Option Plan from 250,000 shares to 500,000 shares. The 1995 Director Option Plan expired in April 2005.
     On December 22, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved accelerating the vesting of approximately 152,361 “out-of-the-money” unvested common stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors under the Company’s stock option plans with an exercise price greater than $0.30 per share. The exercise prices of the accelerated common stock options range from $0.37 per share to $4.03 per share and have a weighted average exercise price of $0.76 per share. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 22, 2005 was $0.22 per share.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
     In October 2005, the Company established the ViewCast 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to provide employees of the Company with an opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions. The plan replaced the Company’s expired employee stock purchase plan (the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan) which expired in April 2005. Under the ESPP, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance, subject to certain antidilution adjustments. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.
     Under the new 2005 plan, each ESPP offering is for a period of six months ending March 31 and September 30 of each year. Eligible employees may participate in the ESPP by authorizing payroll deductions during an offering period within a percentage range determined by the Board of Directors. Initially, the amount of authorized payroll deductions is not more than ten percent of an employee’s cash compensation during an offering period, and not more than $25,000 per year. Amounts withheld from payroll are applied at the end of each offering period to purchase shares of Common Stock. Participants may withdraw their contributions at any time before stock is purchased, and in the event of withdrawal such contributions will be returned to participants. The purchase price of the Common Stock is equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the market price of Common Stock at the end of each offering period (the “Exercise Date”). The Purchase Price may be changed by the Board or its committee but in any case shall never be lower than 85% to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. ViewCast pays all expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and administration of the ESPP.
     Warrants
     The Company has issued private warrants to purchase common stock of the Company in connection with the issuance and repayment of certain notes payable, as inducement for early exercise of private warrants and as compensation for services rendered by various consultants. Additionally, the Company has issued public warrants to purchase common stock of the Company in connection with its initial public offering and concurrent debt retirement and debt for equity exchange.

When initially issued, each redeemable warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $4.50, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. At various time since 1998, the Company has reduced the exercise price of the warrants from $4.50 to $1.00.
     On January 20, 2006, the Company extended the expiration date of its public and public equivalent common stock purchase warrants from the prior expiration date of February 3, 2006 to February 3, 2007. Additionally, ViewCast decreased the exercise price of these warrants to $0.275 per share from $1.00 per share beginning on March 1, 2006, until the warrant expiration date. The warrants are redeemable by the Company under certain conditions.
     Both the public and private redeemable warrants are redeemable by the Company, upon notice of not less than thirty days, at a price of $.10 per warrant, provided that the closing price or bid price of the common stock for any twenty trading days within a period of thirty consecutive trading days ending on the fifth day prior to the day on which the Company gives notice of redemption has been at least $6.75 (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances).
     At December 31, 2005, the Company also had outstanding 684,302 non-redeemable private warrants with exercise prices ranging from $0.45 to $1.00 per share and with varying expiration dates through April 2007. These non-redeemable private warrants include 650,970 warrants issued to holders that converted their 7% Senior Convertible Debentures (See Note 10).
13. Employee Benefit Plan
     Effective March 1, 1997, the Company adopted a profit sharing plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code whereby participants may elect to contribute up to sixty percent (60%) of their compensation subject to statutory limitations. The plan provides for discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions by the Company. All employees are eligible to participate in the plan provided they meet minimum age requirement of eighteen. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company made no matching or profit sharing contributions.

15. Related Party Transactions and Subsequent Events
     Since October 1998, the Company has maintained a working capital line of credit facility with a partnership controlled by one of its principal stockholders and Chairman of the Board of the Company, H. T. Ardinger, Jr. Prior to October 15, 2003, availability of funds under the facility was subject to certain borrowing base limitations based principally on qualifying accounts receivable and inventory. Effective October 15, 2003, terms and conditions of this note were amended to eliminate the borrowing base restrictions, establish a long-term payout for a majority of the note principal and accrued interest, and significantly reduce the per annum interest rate to the lesser of prime plus 3.0% or 9.5% from 12% (See Notes 7 and 8). No interest was paid to the partnership during 2004 and 2005.
     On March 22, 2005, the Company amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility to increase the credit line of the revolving credit note to $3.5 million and extended the commencement date of scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from December 31, 2004 to July 31, 2005. Effective July 22, 2005, the Company amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility to increase the credit line of the Revolving Credit Note from $3.5 million to $4.0 million and extended the commencement date for scheduled payments of the Term Note and Accrued Interest from July 31, 2005 to November 30, 2005.
     Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the Company amended the terms and conditions of the credit facility on March 22, 2006 to extend the revolving maturity date of the Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Revolving Credit Note) from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006, to extend the term maturity date of the Term Loan from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 and to extend the commencement date of scheduled payments of the term note and accrued interest from November 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006.
     On January 20, 2006, the Company extended the expiration date of its public and public equivalent common stock purchase warrants from the prior expiration date of February 3, 2006 to February 3, 2007. Additionally, the Company decreased the exercise price of these warrants to $0.275 per share from $1.00 per share beginning on March 1, 2006, until the warrant expiration date.
