These consolidated interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The unaudited financial statements included in this filing should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as amended by Amendment No. 1 there to and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,563,432 and used cash in operations of $569,890. At September 30, 2012, the Company had working capital of $1,245,914 and cash and cash equivalents of $193,626. The Company expects to obtain additional working capital by increasing revenue, by reducing operating expenses, borrowing on its line of credit and through other initiatives that may include raising additional capital through issuing debt and/or equity securities. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to its then existing stockholders. The Company believes that these items will provide sufficient cash to fund operations during the remainder of 2012, however, the Company may require additional working capital during the remainder of 2012 and 2013 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. In the event the Company is unable to raise additional debt and/or equity capital or execute other alternatives, it may be required to sell segments of the business, or substantially reduce or curtail its activities. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to sell any segments of the business on terms that are acceptable to us. Such actions could result in charges that could be material to ViewCast’s results of operations or financial position.
