Organizations increasingly utilize high-quality, dynamic video and audio to quickly and easily connect with customers, employees, partners or students. ViewCast’s products create, manage and deliver live and on-demand digital media in various formats to multiple wired or wireless connected devices.
     ViewCast products are deployed within a communications network and are used for a variety of audio and video communication applications, including corporate communications, information gathering, security, training, distance learning, conferencing, Internet video and broadcast applications.

Industry Background and Market Drivers
     Broadband penetration is growing at an accelerated rate and signifies an exponential usage of the Internet for all content including heavy applications and large files. Media and entertainment companies have started viewing the Internet as a serious business avenue and are increasingly pushing content for online consumption. With a reduction in technical challenges for rich media delivery, there has been a significant uptake among all the market segments to use rich media extensively to communicate with their audiences. While the enterprise segments—including education and corporate enterprise, and consumer segments—including user-generated video communities, have been at the forefront of pushing significant amounts of rich content, other market segments such as advertising, media and entertainment are also expected to capitalize on this trend over the coming years.
     Over the past few years ViewCast has seen the market maturing. There are fewer technologists who just want to experiment with video over networks. Instead, customers are looking for media solutions that will drive business value either directly or indirectly. From a technology standpoint the quality continues to improve due to increased available bandwidth and more efficient encoding technologies. More importantly, customers have learned how to make money by using the Internet as alternative distribution medium for their content. Video is also used to drive traffic to web portals resulting in enhanced customer retention and loyalty.
     As a result of these and other factors, ViewCast expects its customers will continue to move from do-it-yourself integration projects to the purchase of turnkey solutions. Some of these other factors include:
    The return on investment for deployment of media streaming solutions appears to drive deployments from both the technology standpoint and from the perspective of customer demand. Customers want to access media content over the Internet and are willing to pay for it and/or to allow advertisements.
 
    Simultaneously technology enhancements such as higher compression rates, better caching, smart control of bandwidth utilization and higher resolution will likely spur further growth as the viewing experience for end-users gets better.
 
    Online video-on-demand based business models are expected to drive further penetration of streaming platforms. Various entertainment portals and media companies are entering the market to convert the Internet into a profitable medium.
 
    The value proposition in terms of investment, flexibility and speed has started to increase demand on the enterprise side. The main applications for this market segment are in corporate communications and training.
     While the near-term prospects for mobile video are modest, the longer term prospects remain very strong, and we believe represents a potential next wave of growth for streaming media. Customers want to be able to access media anytime and any place they choose. Mobile carriers see video services as a way to arrest the reduction in average revenue per user, the primary measure of growth and profitability in their market space. Virtually all mobile carriers worldwide are testing or deploying mobile video services and running pilot programs to determine what services their customers want and how much they are willing to pay. ViewCast believes it is well positioned to address this rapidly growing market based on our abilities to deliver mobile video formats simultaneously with broadband content formats, resulting in lower costs and better efficiency for content owners.

ViewCast Products and Services
     ViewCast offers an array of media content 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 Video® line of capture cards, the Niagara® line of video encoding systems and servers and several other complementary products and technologies from leading suppliers.
     Osprey Video Products. Since the inception of Internet streaming media, starting with Progressive Networks (now RealNetworks®) in 1997, ViewCast Osprey Video has been a major player in pioneering efforts of the streaming media industry. Throughout the streaming media market’s emergence and explosive growth, Osprey Video has maintained its position as an industry-leading developer and manufacturer of cutting-edge streaming media capture technology. Moreover, Osprey Video products have enabled many companies to deliver on key applications like IPTV, mobile streaming, webcasting, and more recently, video blogging. With the ongoing introduction of professional-level streaming and capture products, we believe the Osprey Video product group will continue to grow.
     Osprey Video products 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.
     Niagara Streaming Systems. We believe the growth in popularity of our Niagara streaming systems of rack mount and portable encoders is due to the growing from the media content sector seeking state-of-the-art solutions that provide a powerful, low-cost, turnkey option.
     The ViewCast Niagara family of streaming media encoders and servers have been designed from the ground up to provide reliable, pre-configured, plug-and-play solutions enabling the user to quickly encode and stream premium quality audio and video over the Internet or corporate network. The Niagara systems are built upon the well known ViewCast Osprey Video streaming capture boards. These systems include a mix of Osprey analog and digital capture boards along with our remote management and tuning software (Niagara SCX®) and streaming productivity software (SimulStream®) resulting in a powerful, reliable, and cost-effective streaming media platform.
     We believe our Niagara products offer unique advantages to application developers, integrators and OEMs including extensive Software Developments Kits (“SDKs”). These streaming appliances comply with the most popular industry video standards, and we provide expert support and development staff to enable custom development of required applications.
     Niagara systems and software are distributed directly or through channels to media and entertainment enterprises, corporations, ISPs, broadband networks, CDNs, OEMs, educational institutions and governmental agencies.
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, OEMs and VARs to integrate with their products or services. Our ability to provide full-featured solutions that support multiple streaming formats in combination with reduced time-to-market product delivery; we believe makes ViewCast an ideal partner for value added resellers and OEM customers. This belief was supported with the signing during November 2006 of an OEM agreement with one of

the global leaders in networking for the Internet pursuant to which ViewCast sells and licenses certain products for resale on a stand-alone basis and/or as incorporated into their products.
     During 2006, our product revenue was well diversified among our channels, with only one of our customers, Jeff Burgess and Associates, Inc., having generated more than 10% of our sales. We plan to build upon our established customer base by expanding distribution and sales and expanding our product market awareness and reach. A part of our growth initiative is to continue building media encoding appliance and software solutions that can be utilized directly by the customers or integrated into technologies or services offered by other companies to create increased interest in ViewCast products, including among VAR and OEM customers.
     Our sales and marketing program that utilizes direct business development and indirect reseller, OEM and VAR channels enhances our ability to cover domestic and international geographical territories and market segments in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Under the terms of the indirect channel 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 video products using contract manufacturers in the United States and Asia. Our operations personnel in the Plano, 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, we utilize our channels to install and provide service. Further, we maintain an in-house technical support group to assist our channels and customers as required.
     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 2005 and 2006 fiscal years we spent approximately $2.28 and $1.96 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 2007 in the Osprey and Niagara 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., and Digital Rapids. Electronics manufacturers 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®, EZStream® and Niagara SCX® 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 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, 2007, we had fifty-nine (59) employees, four (4) of whom are in executive positions, ten (10) of whom are engaged in engineering, research and development, seventeen (17) of whom are engaged in marketing and sales activities, nineteen (19) 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.

     ViewCast is focused on growth by leveraging the video market expansion and our 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. The proceeds of the sale provided working capital and reduced debt.
     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 2006
     Total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were $13,981,096, a 21.0% increase from revenues of $11,559,204 reported for the same period in 2005. Total operating expenses of $8,547,696 for the fiscal year of 2006 were up 7.6% when compared to the $7,945,634 for the fiscal year of 2005. Operating loss of $847,463 for the fiscal year of 2006 decreased from the $1,251,356 operating loss reported in 2005.
     Net loss for the twelve months of 2006 was $1,751,089 or $0.10 per share, compared to a net loss for 2005 of $3,056,266, or $0.16 per share. The overall decrease in the net loss was due to increased sales, increased gross profit, and decreased development and manufacturing expenses that were offset by increased selling, support and administrative expense. In addition, the 2005 net loss included a loss from the discontinued operations of $341,751 and a charge for debt conversion expense of $485,798 with no similar expenses in 2006.

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, 2006 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005.
     Net Sales. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 21.0% to $13,981,096 from $11,559,204 reported in 2005. The overall increase was mainly due to an increase in system revenue supplemented with a smaller increase in capture card revenue. Net sales for the year improved by 28.8% and 25.5% in the North American and the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) sales regions, respectively.
     Osprey Product Sales. During the year ended December 31, 2006, sales of Osprey video products increased 4.3% over 2005 levels and represented 65.3% of total 2006 video product revenues, compared to 75.7% in 2005. The 2006 EMEA sales of Osprey products improved 17.4% and 2006 Pacific Rim sales decreased by 9.3% over 2005 levels, while North American sales increased slightly.

     ViewCast Niagara® Streaming/Encoding Systems. During the year ended December 31, 2006, combined systems sales totaled $4,777,999 and represented 34.2% of total 2006 video product revenues, an increase of 79.8% over 2005 combined system sales. The increase was due to sales of the Niagara systems increasing by 95.2% over 2005 levels. The sales growth is mainly due to increased usage of streaming and distributed video for broadcasting, business, education, training and governmental applications.
     Other Revenues. Other video product revenues consisting of software maintenance, training, engineering consulting fees and professional services totaled $73,440 during 2006, a decrease of $76,916 compared to $150,356 reported in 2005.
     Cost of Goods Sold/Gross Margins. Cost of goods sold totaled $6,280,863 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a 29.1% increase from $4,864,926 in 2005 that is mainly due to the growth in sales. Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $7,700,233 or 55.1% of revenue, an increase of 15.0% over the prior year of $6,694,278 or 57.9% of revenue.
     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, new products and the sales mix between capture cards, systems and services in any one reporting period.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $6,253,183, an increase of 14.3% from $5,470,746 last year. The increase reflects an overall increase in finance and administration, sales, marketing and support related expense.
     Research and Development Expense. During 2006, research and development expense totaled $1,956,082, a decrease from $2,284,566 in 2005 reflecting a decrease in prototype and related expenses. We will continue to develop new products and features and anticipate increased spending for research and development during 2007. In particular, efforts will be focusing on Niagara appliance and software initiatives and a new series of Osprey capture cards to be introduced during 2007.
     Other Expense. Total other expense declined for 2006 to $903,626 compared to $1,434,909 in 2005. Interest expense for 2006 and 2005 was $913,802 and $950,588, respectively, representing interest primarily from our stockholder debt. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 3.9% over 2005 levels principally due to the decrease of the principal and interest rate from our stockholder debt in December of 2006.
     Other expense had a significant reduction for 2006 primarily due to a charge for debt conversion expense in 2005 with no similar expense in 2006. In the first and second quarter of 2005, ViewCast recognized an imputed amount for non-cash debt conversion expense of $485,798 related to the conversion of redeemable, convertible preferred stock into common stock of ViewCast. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding this transaction.
     Loss from Discontinued Operations. Loss from discontinued operations was $341,751 in 2005 with no similar expense incurred in 2006.
     Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,751,089, a decrease of 42.7% over the $3,056,266 loss reported in the comparable period in 2005. The overall decrease in the net loss was due to increased sales and gross profit, decreased development expenses, decrease in debt conversion expense related to the conversion of redeemable, convertible preferred stock in 2005 and decrease net loss from the discontinued operations, partially offset by increased selling general and administrative expenses.

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, 2006 totaled $553,943, a decrease from the $2,269,548 net cash used in operating activities during 2005. The net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was due to the net loss from operations of $1,751,089 offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $819,527 and non-cash operating expenses of $377,619. The cash utilized in operating assets and liabilities was principally from increases in accounts receivable, inventories, and prepaid expenses, offset by cash provided from increased account payable and accrued expenses and interest.
     Cash utilized for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $568,385. Cash utilized for investing activities included purchases of $390,120 for computer equipment, demo equipment, and other assets to support video product operations. Cash utilized for capitalized software development cost during the same period totaled $181,976.
     During the year ended December 31, 2006, ViewCast’s financing activities, generated cash of $241,961 principally due to short-term borrowings under the terms of our stockholder line of credit facility in the amount of $250,000 offset by repayment of long-term debt of $8,036.
     ViewCast’s discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 had a net loss of $341,751. Net cash generated in discontinued operating activities for the 2005 year totaled $238,138. Net cash provided in discontinued investing activities for 2005 totaled $3,270,723 primarily from the proceeds related to the sale of assets and operations. The net cash utilized in discontinued financing activities for 2005 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, former Chairman of the Board of Directors of ViewCast.
     On December 11, 2006, the Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd. agreed to convert $9,259,582 of debt to common stock, common stock warrants and Series E preferred stock. In addition, ViewCast entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement for $1,250,000 of primary principal and $3,891,361 of accrued interest or secondary principal which shall be due December 31, 2009 subject to certain earlier payment conditions. The new notes are secured by all the existing liens securing any of the prior outstanding debt.
     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.
     On December 11, 2006, H. T. Ardinger, former chairman of the board and a principal shareholder of the Company, and the Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd. agreed to the conversion of $9,259,582 outstanding debt. The terms of the conversion called for a combination of the issuance of 80,000 shares of unregistered convertible preferred stock with each share having a stated value of $100.00 with voting rights on an “as converted” basis with the common stock and the issuance of 2,862,687 shares of unregistered common stock. In conjunction, a seven year warrant was issued to purchase up to 2,500,000 share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share. The preferred stock provides for a conversion option to common stock at $0.60 per share of ViewCast common stock with an early conversion discount of 15% during the first twenty-four months. ViewCast and Ardinger also entered into a registration rights agreement.

     At December 31, 2006, 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. On February 9, 2006 ViewCast announced the exercise over 90 percent of the company’s outstanding public and public equivalent common stock purchase warrants that were set to expire effective February 5, 2007. In return for exercising the warrants at $0.275 per share or $972,018 in total, ViewCast will issue 3,534,610 shares of its common stock. The remaining public warrants expired on the effective date.
     At December 31, 2006, ViewCast had a consolidated stockholders’ deficit of $1,519,142, 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 2006. 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-$3,197,000, Series C-$901,000. Holders of Series B and Series C preferred stock have no voting rights except as required by law.
     At December 31, 2006, ViewCast had positive working capital of $2,949,669 and cash and cash equivalents of $567,509. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, ViewCast improved working capital and net equity by $972,018 from the exercise of outstanding warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2006, ViewCast experienced a sales increase of 21.0% compared to the same period of 2005, and while wary of current economic conditions, management anticipates that revenues during 2007 will continue to increase over 2006 levels. Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased $403,893 compared to the same period in 2005. Interest expense in 2007 is expected to decline significantly due to the lower debt outstanding after the Ardinger debt conversion in December 2006. Although sales growth is expected to continue, ViewCast anticipates that losses may occur during 2007, 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 consistently.
     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 existing cash, cash contributed from operations, from available positive working capital, from the potential exercise of outstanding warrants and from current or new lines of credit to the extent available. ViewCast anticipates it will require additional working capital during 2007 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 and by exercise of warrants if market conditions allow. 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. ViewCast has reduced debt and increased net equity by $11,636,282 with the conversion of debentures in 2004, preferred stock in 2005 and stockholder debt in 2006. The remaining stockholder debt outstanding was amended into a facility with a long term payout generally due December 31, 2009. The result at December 31, 2006 is a positive working capital of $2,949,669 compared to negative working capital in the prior year. The exercise of warrants in February 2007 generated $972,018 in additional working capital and net equity.
     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 need additional working capital and are unable to raise such 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, 2006, 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, 2006:
                                                         
Contractual Obligations   (In thousands)
and Commitments:   2007   2008   2009   2010   2011   Thereafter   Total
 
Operating leases
  $ 331     $ 331     $ 331     $ 331     $ 182     $ 9     $ 1,515  
     ViewCast is obligated under various operating lease agreements, primarily for office facilities that expire at various dates through 2012. The scheduled monthly base rental payments for facilities range from $5,870 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 are no longer 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 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 recorded $8,384 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.

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.

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, VideoWare, Inc., Osprey Technologies, Inc., ViewCast Online Solutions, Inc., and Viewcast Technology Services Corporation, previously known as Delta Computec Inc. (“DCi”) (collectively, ViewCast or the Company). The Company develops and sells video and audio communications products for delivering media dynamically via a variety of network types and protocols. These products include Osprey® Video capture cards and Niagara® video encoders/servers, featuring Niagara SCX encoder management software and other related products. ViewCast products address the video capture, processing, and delivery requirements for a broad range of applications and markets. Worldwide the Company markets and sells its video products and services directly to end-users or through indirect channels including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), value-added resellers (“VARs”), resellers, distributors and computer system integrators.
     The Company utilizes significant capital to design, develop and commercialize its products and intends to fund its 2007 operating activities and sales growth by utilizing existing cash, cash provided from operations, cash received from the exercise of outstanding warrants during early 2007 and working capital lines of credit to the extent possible. The Company believes that these items will provide sufficient cash to fund operations for the next 12 months, however, the Company may require additional working capital during the next year 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, it 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.
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 products. Credit is extended based on evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and, generally collateral is not 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, 2005 and 2006 are as follows:

    2005     2006

Recoveries
    1,818        
 
           
Ending balance
  $ 13,171     $ 30,756  
 
           
     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 remaining term of the related leases. 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.
     Intangible Assets and Amortization
     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.
     Legal fees and similar capitalizable costs relating to patents, copyrights, and trademarks are capitalized as appropriate. Patent costs are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years.
     Intangible assets consists of the following:
                                         
            December 31, 2005   December 31, 2006
    Average life   Gross carrying   Accumulated   Gross carrying   Accumulated

     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 2005 and 2006.
     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 obligations, 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, 2005 and 2006:
                 
    Year ended December 31,  
    2005     2006  
Beginning balance
  $ 57,744     $ 57,667  
Charged to expense
    48,279       127,237  
Usage
    (48,356 )     (67,268 )
 
           
Ending balance
  $ 57,667     $ 117,636  
 
           
     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 discloses the number of customers that accounted for more than 10% of annual sales and receivable balances:
                                 
                    Customers exceeding 10% of
    Customers Exceeding 10%   Year-End Accounts Receivable
    of Net Sales   Balance
    Number of   Combined   Number of   Combined
Year   Customers   Percent   Customers   Percent
2005
    0       0 %     2       22 %
2006
    1       13 %     2       29 %
     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, 2005 and 2006 was $475,066 and $607,398, 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, 2006 and 2005 because actual interest rates were consistent with rates estimated to be available for obligations with similar terms and conditions.
     Stock-Based Compensation
     Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” 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 were 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.
     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 year ended December 31, 2005 is as follows:
         
    2005  
Net loss applicable to common stockholders:

     On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options and employee stock purchases

related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, for periods beginning in fiscal year 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
     In 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s 2006 fiscal year. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to include the impact of SFAS 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $8,384. During the year ended December 31, 2006, there were 155,000 new options granted under the ViewCast 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s Statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense for stock options grants is recognized because the exercise price of the Company’s stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.
     Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations for the fiscal year 2006 includes compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations for the fiscal year of 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for periods prior to fiscal year 2006, forfeitures were accounted for as they occurred.
     The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) as its method of valuation under SFAS 123(R) in fiscal year 2006 and a single option award approach. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Black-Scholes was also previously used for the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for periods prior to fiscal year 2006. The fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price as well as other assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and the actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The weighted-average estimated value of employee stock options granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

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. 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 was 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 of 2006, the Company received advances of $250,000 under the line of credit.
     Effective December 11, 2006, the terms and conditions of the note agreement were amended to establish a long-term payout for the credit line’s accrued interest of $796,838 with a portion of the outstanding $3,600,000 principal balance converted to equity. See Note 8 regarding the amended long-term credit facility and Note 10 regarding the conversion of the Ardinger debt into equity.
     Short-term debt consists of the following:
                 
    December 31, 2005     December 31, 2006

  $ 3,350,000     $  
 
           
8. Long-term Debt
     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). There are no covenants in connection with these notes or the stockholder line of credit.
     On December 11, 2006, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement for $1,250,000 of the primary principal and $3,891,361 of accrued interest or secondary principal which shall be due December 31, 2009 subject to certain earlier payment conditions. The remaining outstanding principal balance of $5,659,582 was converted into equity. The interest on the primary principal amount will accrue and be paid monthly based on the effective prime rate plus 1.0% (8.25% as of December 31, 2006) provided, however, that this rate shall not exceed 9.5% prior to December 31, 2007. Interest on the unpaid accrued interest note shall accrue based on the effective Applicable Federal Rate (4.73% as of December 31, 2006) and shall be paid in full on the maturity date. The new note is secured by all the existing liens securing any of the prior outstanding debt. See Note 10 regarding the conversion of the Ardinger debt into equity.

9. Conversion of Convertible Debt to Equity
     In other income (expense), the Company has recognized in 2005 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.

10. Conversion of Ardinger Debt to Equity
     On December 11, 2006, H. T. Ardinger, former chairman of the board and a principal shareholder of the Company, and the Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd. agreed to the conversion of $9,259,582 of outstanding debt into equity. The terms of the conversion called for a combination of the issuance of 80,000 shares of unregistered convertible Series E preferred stock with each share having a stated value of $100.00 with voting rights on an “as converted” basis with the common stock and the issuance of 2,862,687 shares of unregistered common stock. In addition, a seven year warrant was issued to purchases up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share. The preferred stock provides for a conversion option to common stock at $0.60 per share of ViewCast common stock with an early conversion discount of 15% during the first twenty-four months. The Company and Ardinger also entered into a registration rights agreement. As H.T. Ardinger and the Ardinger Family Partnership are principal shareholders of the Company at the time of the transaction, the $9,259,582 of debt converted in exchange for the common stock, Series E preferred stock and warrants was recorded as a direct increase to equity. Additionally, the fair market value of the equity issued approximated the carrying value of the debt retired based on management’s estimates.

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 former 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.
     As discussed in Note 10, in December 2006, the Company retired certain debt from the Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd. in exchange for 80,000 shares of ViewCast’s Series E Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock with each share having a stated value of $100 with voting rights on an “as converted’ basis with the common stock and accrues no dividends.
     At December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company had a consolidated stockholders’ deficit of $9,036,019 and $1,519,142 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 2005 and 2006. 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, 2005 are $2,558,328 and $719,848, respectively; and at December 31, 2006 are $3,196,579 and $900,840, respectively.
     Common Stock
     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.
     During 2006, the Company issued 2,862,687 shares of unregistered common stock in exchange for the retirement of debt as discussed in Note 10.
     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. 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. There were no ESPP activities in 2006.
     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.

     At December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding 2,616,348 redeemable common stock public warrants that were issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, as well as 1,183,332 redeemable private warrants, with terms similar to the public warrants, that were issued in connection with the early exercise of private warrants during 1998. 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 times 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.
     On December 11, 2006, the Company issued the Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd a seven year warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share in conjunction with the Ardinger debt conversion (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, 2005 and 2006, the Company made no matching or profit sharing contributions to this plan.
14. Commitments and Contingencies

15. Related Party Transactions
     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 prior 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).
     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.
     On March 22, 2006, the Company 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — Continued
     On December 11, 2006, H. T. Ardinger and the Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd. agreed to the conversion of $9,259,582 outstanding debt. The terms of the conversion called for the issuance of 80,000 shares of unregistered convertible preferred stock, with each share having a stated value of $100.00 with voting rights on an “as converted” basis with the common stock, and the issuance of 2,862,687 shares of unregistered common stock. In addition, a seven year warrant was issued to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share. The preferred stock provides for a conversion option to common stock at $0.60 per share of ViewCast common stock with an early conversion discount of 15% during the first twenty-four months. The Company and Ardinger also entered into a registration rights agreement.
     In addition, the parties entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement for the remaining $1,250,000 primary principal and $3,891,361 of accrued interest or secondary principal which shall be due December 31, 2009 subject to certain earlier payment conditions. The primary principal amount will bear interest per annum equal to the prime rate plus 1.0% (8.25% as of December 31, 2006) provided, however, that this rate shall not exceed 9.5% prior to December 31, 2007. Interest on unpaid accrued interest amount shall accrue based on the effective Applicable Federal Rate (4.73% as of December 31, 2006) and shall be paid in full on the maturity date. The new notes are secured by all the existing liens securing any of the prior outstanding debt. No interest was paid to the partnership during 2005 and $6,634 was paid in 2006.
16. Subsequent Events
     Subsequent to December 31, 2006, and on or before the effective expiration date during February 2007, the Company received $972,018 in proceeds from the exercise of 3,534,610 of its outstanding public and public equivalent common stock purchase warrants resulting in the issuance of the same amount of common stock.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
     On December 13, 2006, upon approval of its Audit Committee, ViewCast.com, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of December 13, 2006. Grant Thornton’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, contained an opinion regarding the substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Grant Thornton’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain any other adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not otherwise qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through December 13, 2006, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton’s satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through December 13, 2006, there have been no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B, except for the following material weaknesses:
For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, Grant Thornton advised the Audit Committee of the Company of internal control deficiencies relating to (i) insufficient resources to perform an appropriate review and supervision of the preparation of accounting records; (ii) insufficient records to complete the preparation of the financial statements on a timely basis; (iii) insufficient resources to support sufficient preparation and independent auditor review of the consolidated financial statements; and (iv) insufficient resources to oversee the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. These internal control weaknesses also constituted material weaknesses in our disclosure controls. Due to these material weaknesses, during and after the quarter ending March 31, 2005, the Company took corrective actions to address the material weaknesses.
     None of the events disclosed above led to a disagreement or difference of opinion between Grant Thornton and the Company. Grant Thornton has been authorized to fully respond to any inquiries of the Company’s future independent registered public accounting firm concerning such material weaknesses. Grant Thornton has furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the above statements. The letter was filed as exhibit 16.1 to From 8-K filed December 15, 2006.
     On December 13, 2006, the Company’s Audit Committee engaged KBA Group LLP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through December 13, 2006, the Company did not consult with KBA Group LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-B. There have been no disagreements concerning any matter of accounting principle or financial statement disclosure between the Company and its independent registered public accounting firm, KBA Group LLP.
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures
     Management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
     There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 8B. Other Information
     None.
