Business
Summary
We are a
provider of Internet Protocol communications solutions for enterprise-class
organizations such as corporations, schools and federal, state and local
governmental agencies. We provide solutions based primarily on Cisco Systems,
Inc. technology and provide our customers with implementation and support
services. We believe that our focus and expertise enables us to better compete
in the markets that we serve. Because we have significant experience
implementing and supporting the critical technology building blocks of Internet
Protocol telephony systems for enterprises, we believe we are well positioned to
deliver superior solutions and services to our customers.
The
convergence of data, voice, and video into a single seamless Internet Protocol
communications infrastructure is increasingly responsible for driving business
benefits through improved business operations. The foundation of a converged
communication platform is a robust, secure, high-performance, high-availability
Internet Protocol network infrastructure. As part of our commitment to full
life-cycle solutions for our customers, we are dedicated to excellence not only
in Internet Protocol telephony voice communications but also in the underlying
network infrastructure components upon which Internet Protocol telephony
depends.
The
Internet Protocol communications solutions we offer are “Cisco-centric,” meaning
they are based primarily on the products and technology of Cisco. These
solutions include design, implementation and support of LAN/WAN routing and
switching, Internet Protocol telephony, voice over IP, network security, network
storage and wireless networks. We offer a full suite of advanced technology
solutions that support the entire life-cycle of Internet Protocol
communications. Our solutions are designed with the complete life-cycle of our
customer’s Internet Protocol communications infrastructure in mind. Within a
finite set of practice areas, we have standardized our design, implementation,
and post-implementation support processes to drive a reliable and scaleable
solution that can be tailored to meet the business objectives of our clients.
Because of our substantial experience and technical expertise in the design,
implementation and support of Internet Protocol communications solutions, we
believe we are well-positioned to take advantage of what we believe to be a
growing trend of implementation by enterprise organizations of Internet Protocol
telephony and voice over Internet Protocol technology, and the use by enterprise
organizations of the Internet Protocol network as the platform for all forms of
communications.
The
market for Internet Protocol communications solutions is extremely competitive.
We compete with larger and better financed entities. We currently have thirteen
physical offices, which are located in Texas, California, Idaho, Massachusetts,
New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and Washington DC. We primarily market to
enterprise-class organizations headquartered in or making purchasing decisions
from markets that we serve with branch offices. We plan to continue to expand to
additional markets throughout the U.S. by establishing additional branch
offices in other markets, either by opening additional new offices or through
acquisition.
We derive
revenue from sales of both products and services. Our product sales consist
primarily of sales of Cisco brand products. Our services revenues are derived
from two principal types of services: professional services that include design
and implementation engineering services, and post-sale support services, which
consist of remote monitoring and managed services for enterprise network
infrastructure, which we offer through our NetSurant branded service
offering.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 6401 Southwest Freeway, Houston,
Texas 77074, and our telephone number is (713) 795-2000.

by INX
We are
registering 725,000 shares of our common stock issuable by us upon exercise of
outstanding public warrants and representatives’ warrants. These
shares include:
|
|
· |
575,000
shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants at a price per share
of $12.45, issuable at any time on or prior to May 7,
2009. |
|
|
· |
100,000
shares issuable upon exercise of representatives’ warrants to purchase
50,000 units, each unit comprised of 2 shares of common stock and one
warrant, at an exercise price of $19.92 per unit at any time on or prior
to May 7, 2009. |
|
|
· |
50,000
shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant underlying the
representatives’ units at $12.45 per share at any time on or prior to May
7, 2009. |
We are
also registering the issuance of the warrants underlying the representatives’
units issuable upon exercise of the representatives’ warrant. We will
pay the expenses of registering these securities.
In
addition, we are registering for resale by the holders of the representatives’
warrants who are identified in this prospectus as selling security holders the
shares of common stock and warrants issuable upon exercise of the
representatives’ warrants and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of
the warrants underlying the representatives’ warrants. Although we
will receive proceeds in connection with the exercise of the representatives’
warrants and the underlying warrants by the holders of those warrants, we will
not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of common stock or the
underlying warrants by the selling security holders.
An
investment in our securities involves various risks. You should carefully
consider the following risk factors and other information incorporated by
reference herein before deciding to purchase our securities.
We
have a history of losses and may continue to incur losses.
We
incurred a net loss from continuing operations in each fiscal year since 1999,
except fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2003. During 2005 our income from continuing
operations was $812 excluding the noncash charge for remeasurement of certain
stock options. We cannot assure you that profitability will be achieved or
continue in upcoming quarters or years. In order to continue profitability, we
will have to maintain or increase our operating margin. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to continue to achieve improved operating margins, or that
operating margin will not decrease in the future. If we are unable to
increase revenue, if our gross margin decreases, or if we are unable to control
our operating expenses, our business could produce losses. We have only recently
become profitable and are in a rapidly changing industry. In addition, our
business depends upon winning new contracts with new customers, the size of
which may vary from contract to contract. When we open new branch offices to
expand our geographic presence, we expect the newly opened branch offices to
produce operating losses for a period of six months to over one year. We plan to
open multiple new branch offices in the near future. Whether we are able to
remain profitable in the future will depend on many factors, but primarily upon
the commercial acceptance of Internet Protocol telephony products and services,
specifically those developed and marketed by Cisco.
Our
success is dependent upon maintaining our relationship with
Cisco.
Substantially
all of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004
was derived from the sale of Cisco products and related services. We anticipate
that these products and related services will account for the majority of our
revenue for the foreseeable future. We have a contract with Cisco to purchase
the products that we resell, and we purchase substantially all of our Cisco
products directly from Cisco. Cisco can terminate this agreement on relatively
short notice. Cisco has designated us an authorized reseller and we receive
certain benefits from this designation, including special pricing and payment
terms. We have in the past, and may in the future, purchase Cisco-centric
products from other sources. When we purchase Cisco-centric products from
sources other than Cisco, the prices are typically higher and the payment terms
are not as favorable. Accordingly, if we are unable to purchase directly from
Cisco and maintain our status as an authorized reseller of Cisco network
products, our business could be significantly harmed. If we are unable to
purchase Cisco products from other sources on terms that are comparable to the
terms we currently receive, our business would be harmed and our operating
results and financial condition would be materially and adversely
affected.
Our
success depends upon broad market acceptance of Internet Protocol
telephony.
The
market for Internet Protocol telephony products and services is relatively new
and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards
and strong customer demand for new products, applications and services. As is
typical of a new and rapidly evolving industry, the demand for, and market
acceptance of, recently introduced Internet Protocol telephony products and
services are highly uncertain. We cannot assure you that the use of Internet
Protocol telephony will become widespread. The commercial acceptance of Internet
Protocol telephony products, including Cisco-centric products, may be affected
by a number of factors including:
|
|
• |
quality
of infrastructure; |
|
|
• |
equipment,
software or other technology
failures; |
|
|
• |
inconsistent
quality of service; |
|
|
• |
poor
voice quality over Internet Protocol
networks; and |
|
|
• |
lack
of availability of cost-effective, high-speed network
capacity. |
If the
market for Internet Protocol telephony fails to develop, develops more slowly
than we anticipate, or if Internet Protocol telephony products fail to achieve
market acceptance, our business will be adversely affected.
Although
our success is generally dependent upon the market acceptance of Internet
Protocol telephony, our success also depends upon a broad market acceptance of
Cisco-centric Internet Protocol
telephony.
We cannot
assure you that the Cisco-centric Internet Protocol telephony products we offer
will obtain broad market acceptance. Competition, technological advances and
other factors could reduce demand for, or market acceptance of, the
Cisco-centric Internet Protocol telephony products and services we offer. In
addition, new products, applications or services may be developed that are
better adapted to changing technology or customer demands and that could render
our Cisco-centric products and services unmarketable or obsolete. To compete
successfully, the Cisco-centric Internet Protocol telephony products we offer
must achieve broad market acceptance and we must continually enhance our related
software and customer services in a timely and cost- effective manner. If the
Cisco-centric Internet Protocol telephony products we offer fail to achieve
broad market acceptance, or if we do not adapt our existing services to customer
demands or evolving industry standards, our business, financial condition and
results of operation could be significantly harmed.
Our
business depends on the level of capital spending by enterprises for
communications products and services.
As a
supplier of Internet Protocol telephony products, applications and services for
enterprises, our business depends on the level of capital spending for
communications products and services by enterprises in our markets. We believe
that an enterprise’s investment in communications systems and related products
and services depends largely on general economic conditions that can vary
significantly as a result of changing conditions in the economy as a whole. The
market for communications products and services may continue to grow at a modest
rate or not at all. If our customers decrease their level of spending on
communications systems and the related products and services, our revenue and
operating results may be adversely affected.
Our
profitability depends on Cisco product pricing and incentive
programs.
Our
annual and quarterly gross profits and gross margins on product sales are
materially affected by Cisco product pricing and incentive programs. These
incentive programs currently enable us to qualify for cash rebates or product
pricing discounts and are generally earned based on sales volumes of particular
Cisco products and customer satisfaction levels. We recognized vendor incentives
as a reduction of a cost of sales amounting to $6,303, $2,876 and $3,480 in
2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing 4.0%, 2.7%, and 4.9% of total
revenues. From time to time Cisco changes the criteria upon which qualification
for these incentives are based and there is no assurance that we will continue
to meet the program qualifications. Cisco is under no obligation to continue
these incentive programs.
A
substantial portion of our customers are based in Texas.
We have
only recently expanded outside of Texas. Because a majority of the customers we
offer our Internet Protocol telephony products to are geographically
concentrated in Texas, our customers’ level of spending on communication
products may be affected by economic condition in Texas, in addition to general
economic conditions in the United States. If demand for Internet Protocol
telephony products by enterprises in Texas decreases, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be significantly harmed.
Our
strategy contemplates rapid geographic expansion, which we may be unable to
achieve, and which is subject to numerous
uncertainties.
A
component of our strategy is to become one of the leading national providers of
Cisco-centric Internet Protocol telephony products. To achieve this objective,
we must either acquire existing businesses or hire qualified personnel in
various locations throughout the country, fund a rapid increase in operations
and implement corporate governance and management systems that will enable us to
function efficiently on a national basis. Identifying and acquiring existing
businesses is a time-consuming process and is subject to numerous risks.
Qualified personnel are in demand, and we expect the demand to increase as the
market for Internet Protocol telephony grows. We will also likely face
competition from our existing competitors and from local and regional
competitors in the markets we attempt to enter. A rapid expansion in the size
and geographical scope of our business is likely to introduce management
challenges that may be difficult to overcome. We cannot assure you that we will
be successful in expanding our operations beyond Texas or achieving our goal of
becoming a national provider. An unsuccessful expansion effort would consume
capital and human resources without achieving the desired benefit and would have
an adverse affect on our business.
We
may require additional financing to achieve expansion of our business
operations, and failure to obtain financing may prevent us from
carrying out our business plan.
We may
need additional capital to grow our business. Our business plan calls for the
expansion of sales of our Internet Protocol telephony products to enterprises in
geographical markets where we currently do not operate, including expansion
through acquisitions. If we do not have adequate capital or are not able to
raise the capital to fund our business objectives, we may have to delay the
implementation of our business plan. We can provide no assurance that we will be
able to obtain financing if required, or if financing is available, there is no
assurance that the terms would be favorable to existing stockholders. Our
ability to obtain additional financing is subject to a number of factors,
including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan,
our operating performance and financial condition, and investor sentiment. These
factors may affect the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional
financing available to us.
We
require access to significant working capital and vendor credit to fund our
day-to-day operations. Our failure to comply with the financial
and othercovenants under our working capital facility could
lead to a termination of the agreement and an acceleration of
our outstanding debt.
We
require access to significant working capital and vendor credit to fund our
day-to-day operations. Our credit facility with Castle Pines Capital contains a
number of financial and other covenants. A breach of these financial or other
covenants, unless waived, would be a default under the credit facility. Upon an
event of default, Castle Pines Capital may terminate the facility and/or declare
all amounts outstanding under such facility immediately due and payable. The
acceleration of our debt could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and liquidity. Additionally, the amount of working capital available
to us under the credit facility is dependent upon the amount and quality of our
accounts receivable. A significant default or payment delays of our accounts
receivable could materially adversely affect our borrowing base and our access
to sufficient working capital.
We
may be unable to manage our growth effectively, which may harm our
business.
The
ability to operate our business in a rapidly evolving market requires effective
planning and management. Our efforts to grow have placed, and are expected to
continue to place, a significant strain on our personnel, management systems,
infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth
effectively will require us to successfully attract, train, motivate and manage
new employees, to integrate new employees into our operations and to continue to
improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we
are unable to implement adequate controls or integrate new employees into our
business in an efficient and timely manner, our operations could be adversely
affected and our growth could be impaired.
Our
operating results have historically been volatile, and may continue to be
volatile, particularly from quarter to
quarter.
Our
quarter-to-quarter revenue, gross profit and operating profitability have
fluctuated significantly. During quarterly periods in which we realize lower
levels of revenue our profitability is negatively impacted. Our quarterly
operating results have historically depended on, and may fluctuate in the future
as a result of, many factors including:
|
|
• |
volume
and timing of orders received during the
quarter; |
|
|
• |
amount
and timing of supplier incentives received in any particular quarter,
which can vary substantially; |
|
|
• |
gross
margin fluctuations associated with the mix of products
sold; |
|
|
• |
general
economic conditions; |
|
|
• |
patterns
of capital spending by enterprises for communications
products; |
|
|
• |
the
timing of new product announcements and
releases; |
|
|
• |
the
cost and effect of acquisitions; |
|
|
• |
the
amount and timing of sales incentives we may receive from our suppliers,
particularly Cisco; and |
|
|
• |
the
availability and cost of products and components from our
suppliers. |
As a
result of these and other factors, we have historically experienced, and may
continue to experience, fluctuations in sales and operating results. In
addition, it is possible that in the future our operating results may fall below
the expectations of analysts and investors, and as a result, the price of our
securities may fall.
We
have many competitors and expect new competitors to enter our market, which
could increase price competition and may affect the amount of
business available to us and the prices that we can charge for
our products and services.
The
markets for our all of products and services, and especially our Internet
Protocol telephony products and services, are extremely competitive and subject
to rapid change. Substantial growth in demand for Internet Protocol telephony
solutions has been predicted, and we expect competition to increase as existing
competitors enhance and expand their products and services and as new
participants enter the Internet Protocol telephony market. Internet Protocol
telephony involves the application of traditional computer-based technology to
voice communication, and the hardware component of the solution is readily
available. Accordingly, there are relatively few barriers to entry to companies
with computer and network experience. A rapid increase in competition could
negatively affect the amount of business that we get and the prices that we can
charge.
Additionally,
many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater
financial resources, customer support, technical and marketing resources, larger
customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more
established relationships than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the
resources or expertise to compete successfully. Compared to us, our competitors
may be able to:
|
|
• |
develop
and expand their products and services more
quickly; |
|
|
• |
adapt
faster to new or emerging technologies and changing customer
needs; |
|
|
• |
take
advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more
readily; |
|
|
• |
negotiate
more favorable agreements with
vendors; |
|
|
• |
devote
greater resources to marketing and selling their
products; and |
|
|
• |
address
customer service issues more
effectively. |
Some of
our competitors may also be able to increase their market share by providing
customers with additional benefits or by reducing their prices. We cannot be
sure that we will be able to match price reductions by our competitors. In
addition, our competitors may form strategic relationships with each other to
better compete with us. These relationships may take the form of strategic
investments, joint-marketing agreements, licenses or other contractual
arrangements that could increase our competitors’ ability to serve
customers.
Business
acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures entail numerous risks and may
disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or distract
management attention.
As part
of our business strategy, we plan to consider acquisitions of, or significant
investments in, businesses that offer products, services and technologies
complementary to ours. Any acquisition could materially adversely affect our
operating results and/or the price of our securities. Acquisitions involve
numerous risks, some of which we have experienced and may continue to
experience, including:
|
|
• |
unanticipated
costs and liabilities; |
|
|
• |
difficulty
of integrating the operations, products and personnel of the acquired
business; |
|
|
• |
difficulty
retaining key personnel of the acquired
business; |
|
|
• |
difficulty
retaining customers of the acquired
businesses; |
|
|
• |
difficulties
in managing the financial and strategic position of acquired or developed
products, services and
technologies; |
|
|
• |
difficulties
in maintaining customer relationships, in particular where a substantial
portion of the target’s sales were derived from products that compete with
products that we currently offer; |
|
|
• |
the
diversion of management’s attention from the core
business; |
|
|
• |
inability
to maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and
procedures; and |
|
|
• |
damage
to relationships with acquired employees and customers as a result of
integration of the acquired
business. |
Finally,
to the extent that shares of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock
are issued in connection with any future acquisitions, dilution to our existing
stockholders will result and our earnings per share may suffer. Any future
acquisitions may not generate the anticipated level of revenue and earnings or
provide any benefit to our business, and we may not achieve a satisfactory
return on our investment in any acquired businesses.
Our
international operations, which we plan to expand, will subject us to additional
risks that may adversely affect our operating results due to
increased costs.
Revenue
generated by products delivered and services provided outside the United States,
as a percentage of consolidated revenue, was approximately 4.9%, 3.5% and 2.7%
for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Substantially all of our international
revenue represents products delivered or services provided in foreign countries
for companies based in the United States or for United States Armed Forces under
contracts entered into, administered and paid in the United States. We intend to
continue to pursue international opportunities. Pursuit of international
opportunities may require us to make significant investments for an extended
period before returns on such investments, if any, are realized. International
operations are subject to a number of risks and potential costs,
including:
|
|
• |
unexpected
changes in regulatory requirements and telecommunication
standards; |
|
|
• |
tariffs
and other trade barriers; |
|
|
• |
risk
of loss in currency exchange
transactions; |
|
|
• |
exchange
controls or other currency
restrictions; |
|
|
• |
difficulty
in collecting receivables; |
|
|
• |
difficulty
in staffing and managing foreign
operations; |
|
|
• |
the
need to customize marketing and
products; |
|
|
• |
inadequate
protection of intellectual property in countries outside the United
States; |
|
|
• |
adverse
tax consequences; and |
|
|
• |
political
and economic instability. |
Any of
these factors could prevent us from increasing our revenue and otherwise
adversely affect our operating results. We may not be able to overcome some of
these barriers and may incur significant costs in addressing
others.
If
we lose key personnel we may not be able to achieve our
objectives.
We are
dependent on the continued efforts of our senior management team, including our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, James Long, and our President and Chief
Operating Officer, Mark Hilz. If for any reason, these or other senior
executives or other key members of management do not continue to be active in
management, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be
adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to
retain our senior executives or other personnel necessary for the development of
our business.
We
may not be able to hire and retain highly skilled technical employees, which
could affect our ability to compete effectively and could
adversely affect our operating results.
We depend
on highly skilled technical personnel to research and develop and to market and
service our products. To succeed, we must hire and retain employees who are
highly skilled in rapidly changing communications technologies. In particular,
as we implement our strategy of focusing on Internet Protocol telephony, we will
need to:
|
|
• |
hire
more employees with experience developing and providing advanced
communications products and
services; |
|
|
• |
retrain
our current personnel to sell Internet Protocol telephony products and
services; and |
|
|
• |
retain
personnel to service our products. |
Individuals
who can perform the services we need to provide our products and services are
scarce. Because the competition for qualified employees in our industry is
intense, hiring and retaining qualified employees is both time-consuming and
expensive. We may not be able to hire enough qualified personnel to meet our
needs as our business grows or to retain the employees we currently have. Our
inability to hire and retain the individuals we need could hinder our ability to
sell our existing products, systems, software or services or to develop and sell
new ones. If we are not able to attract and retain qualified employees, we will
not be able to successfully implement our business plan and our business will be
harmed.
If
we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business may be
harmed.
Although
we attempt to protect our intellectual property through patents, trademarks,
trade secrets, copyrights, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and
other measures, intellectual property is difficult to protect and these measures
may not provide adequate protection. Patent filings by third parties, whether
made before or after the date of our patent filings, could render our
intellectual property less valuable. Competitors may misappropriate our
intellectual property, disputes as to ownership of intellectual property may
arise and our intellectual property may otherwise become known or independently
developed by competitors. The failure to protect our intellectual property could
seriously harm our business because we believe that developing new products and
technology that are unique to us is important to our success. If we do not
obtain sufficient international protection for our intellectual property, our
competitiveness in international markets could be significantly impaired, which
would limit our growth and future revenue.
We
may be found to infringe on third-party intellectual property
rights.
Third
parties may in the future assert claims or initiate litigation related to their
patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights in
technology that is important to us. The asserted claims and/or litigation could
include claims against us or our suppliers alleging infringement of intellectual
property rights with respect to our products or components of those products.
Regardless of the merit of the claims, they could be time consuming, result in
costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, or
require us to develop a non-infringing technology or enter into license
agreements. There can be no assurance that licenses will be available on
acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, because of the potential for high
court awards, which are not necessarily predictable, it is not unusual to find
even arguably unmeritorious claims resulting in large settlements. If any
infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us by any third
party is successful, or if we fail to develop non-infringing technology or
license the proprietary rights on commercially reasonable terms and conditions,
our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.
Costs
of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related SEC
regulations may harm our results of
operations.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires heightened financial disclosure and
corporate governance for all publicly traded companies. Although costs of
compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are uncertain due to several factors, we
expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase. Failure to
comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations or NASDAQ listing requirements may result in penalties, fines or
delisting of our securities from the NASDAQ, which could limit our ability to
access the capital markets, having a negative impact on our financial condition
and results of operations.
During
the term that the public warrants, the representatives’ warrants and the
warrants underlying the units issuable upon exercise of the representatives’
warrants are outstanding, the holders of those securities are given the
opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common
stock.
This
means that those holders may be able to purchase shares of our common stock at a
price lower than what you would pay in the public market, thus resulting in
dilution to you. We may find it more difficult to raise additional
equity capital while these warrants are outstanding. At any time during which
these warrants are likely to be exercised, we may be able to obtain additional
equity capital on more favorable terms from other sources.
In
order for you to be able to exercise the warrants underlying the units issuable
upon exercise of the representatives’ warrants, the underlying shares of our
common stock must be covered by an effective and current registration statement
and qualify or be exempt under the securities laws of the state or other
jurisdiction in which you live.
We cannot
assure you that we will continue to maintain a current registration statement
relating to the shares of our common stock underlying the warrants underlying
the units issuable upon exercise of the representatives’ warrants or that an
exemption from registration or qualification will be available throughout their
term. This may have an adverse effect on demand for those securities and the
prices that can be obtained from reselling them.
The
issuance of common stock pursuant to exercise of the public warrants,
representatives’ warrants and warrants underlying the units issuable upon
exercise of the representatives’ warrants will have a dilutive effect and may
adversely affect our stock price.
The
issuance of additional shares underlying these outstanding securities will
reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. In addition, the
perceived risk of dilution from sales of stock pursuant to the exercise of the
outstanding warrants may cause holders of our common stock to sell their shares
or encourage short sales, which could also adversely affect prevailing market
prices for our common stock.
This
prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference, contains
forward-looking statements regarding our future performance. All forward-looking
information is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially
from assumptions, estimates or expectations reflected or contained in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set
forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. Forward-looking
statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. All
statements contained in this prospectus other than statements of historical fact
are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements
regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected
costs, plans and objectives of management for future operations. The words
“may,” “continue,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “believe,” “project,”
“expect,” “anticipate” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking
statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a
statement is not forward-looking. With respect to the forward-looking
statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.
These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. Unless
required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or
otherwise.
If all of
the public warrants, the representatives’ warrants and the warrants underlying
the representatives’ warrants are exercised, we will receive proceeds of up to
$8,777,250. We will not receive any proceeds from resales of the
shares of common stock or warrants issuable upon exercise of the
representatives’ warrants.
Unless we
indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, our management will
have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sale of the
securities offered in this prospectus. We currently intend to use
such proceeds for working capital and other general corporate
purposes. We may also use such proceeds to fund the acquisition of
companies, businesses, technologies, products or assets. However, we
currently have no commitments or agreements for any specific
acquisitions. Pending use of the net proceeds, we intend to invest
the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing
securities.
The
following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2007, based on
information obtained from the selling security holders named below, with respect
to the beneficial ownership of the security holders whose resale of the shares
of common stock and warrants issuable upon exercise of the representatives’
warrants and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants
underlying such representatives’ warrants has been registered pursuant to
this registration statement. The
securities included in the table set forth below which are being registered for
resales pursuant to this registration statement were acquired by (i) the selling
security holders who are registered broker-dealers as transaction-based
compensation for the performance of investment banking or similar services and
(ii) each of the selling security holders who are affiliates of
broker-dealers in the ordinary course of business. The
representatives’ warrants were issued by the Company in a single
transaction effected on May 7, 2004 in connection with our public offering of
units on the same date. Each person is deemed a beneficial owner of all
outstanding securities held by such person and all securities that can be
acquired by such person within 60 days of September 30, 2007 upon the exercise
of warrants or other convertible securities held by such person. This
table assumes, for each person, that any such warrants and other convertible
securities that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person)
that are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2007 have been
exercised. The number of shares of our common stock issued and
outstanding as of September 30, 2007 was 7,394,414. As used in this
prospectus, the term “selling security holders” includes the entities listed
below and any donees, pledges, transferees or other successors in interest
selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from any of the
selling security holders as a gift, pledge or other transfer.

office or other material relationship with our company.
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 20,000,000 shares, consisting of 15,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. We have 7,394,414 shares of common
stock outstanding at September 30, 2007 and no shares of preferred stock
outstanding.
Common
Stock
Holders
of common stock have the right to cast one vote for each share held of record on
all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock, including the
election of directors. There is no right to cumulate votes for the
election of directors. Stockholders holding at least half of the
voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote,
represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any
meeting of our stockholders, and the vote by the holders of a majority of
outstanding shares present or represented at a meeting is generally required to
take action; the vote by holders of two-thirds of outstanding shares is required
to take certain actions, such as the removal of directors and the amendment of
the certificate of incorporation.
Holders
of common stock are entitled to receive dividends pro rata based on the number
of shares held, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, from funds
legally available therefor, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding
preferred stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, all
our assets remaining after the payment of all debts and other liabilities,
subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock, shall
be distributed, pro rata, among the holders of the common stock. Holders of
common stock are not entitled to preemptive or subscription or conversion
rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the
common stock.
Preferred
Stock
Our
certificate of incorporation provides for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares
of preferred stock. Our board of directors will have the authority, without
further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences, privileges
and restrictions of each such series. The issuance of preferred stock could have
the effect of restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting
power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock
or delaying or preventing a change in control without further action by the
stockholders. At present, we have no plans to issue any shares of preferred
stock.
Public
Warrants
General. The
public warrants may be exercised until May 7, 2009. Each warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $12.45 per
share. This exercise price will be adjusted if specific events, summarized
below, occur. A holder of warrants will not be deemed a holder of the underlying
stock for any purpose until the warrant is exercised.
Redemption. We
have the right to redeem the warrants at a price of $0.25 per warrant, after
providing 30 days prior written notice to the warrantholders, at any time after
the closing price for our common stock, as reported on the principal exchange on
which our stock trades, has been at or above $16.60 for any five consecutive
trading days. We will send a written notice of redemption by first class mail to
holders of the warrants at their last known addresses appearing on the
registration records maintained by the transfer agent. No other form of notice
or publication will be required. If we call the warrants for redemption, the
holders of the warrants will then have to decide whether to sell warrants,
exercise them before the close of business on the business day preceding the
specified redemption date or hold them for redemption.
Exercise. The
holders of the warrants may exercise them only if an appropriate registration
statement is then in effect. To exercise a warrant, the holder must deliver to
our transfer agent the warrant certificate on or before the expiration date or
the redemption date, as applicable, with the form on the reverse side of the
certificate executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise
price for the number of warrants being exercised. Fractional shares of common
stock will not be issued upon exercise of the warrants.
Adjustments
in Certain Events. We will make adjustments to the terms of the
warrants if certain events occur. If we distribute to our stockholders
additional shares of common stock through a dividend or distribution or if we
effect a stock split of our common stock, we will adjust the total number of
shares of common stock purchasable on exercise of a warrant so that the holder
of a warrant thereafter exercised will be entitled to receive the number of
shares of common stock the holder would have owned or received after such event
if the warrant holder had exercised the warrant before the event causing the
adjustment. The aggregate exercise price of the warrant will remain the same in
that circumstance but the effective purchase price per share of common stock
purchasable upon exercise of the warrant will be proportionately reduced because
a greater number of common stock shares will then be purchasable upon exercise
of the adjusted warrant. If, however, we effect a dividend, distribution or
stock split that increases our outstanding common stock by 50% or more, we will
instead proportionately increase the number of warrants outstanding rather than
increasing the number of shares of common stock underlying each warrant. Each
warrant will then continue to be exercisable for the same number of shares as
before the event requiring the increase in the number of outstanding warrants
but the exercise price of each warrant will be correspondingly
reduced.
In the
event of a capital reorganization or reclassification of our common stock, the
warrants will be adjusted so that thereafter each warrant holder will be
entitled to receive upon exercise the same number and kind of securities that
such holder would have received if the warrant had been exercised before the
capital reorganization or reclassification of our common stock.
If we
merge or consolidate with another corporation, or if we sell our assets as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation, we will make
provisions so that warrant holders will be entitled to receive upon exercise of
a warrant the kind and number of securities, cash or other property that would
have been received as a result of the transaction by a person who was our
stockholder immediately before the transaction and who owned the same number of
shares of common stock for which the warrant was exercisable immediately before
the transaction. No adjustment to the warrants will be made, however, if a
merger or consolidation does not result in any reclassification or change in our
outstanding common stock.
Representatives’
Warrants
In
connection with our public offering of units, we granted representatives’
warrants to certain representatives of the underwriters and their affiliates,
each representative warrant entitling the holder to purchase units consisting of
two shares of our common stock and one warrant to buy one share of common stock
at a price of $19.92 per unit. These representatives’ warrants
terminate on May 7, 2009.
The
exercise price of the representatives’ warrants is subject to adjustment if we
declare any stock dividend to stockholders or effect any split or reverse split
with respect to our common stock. Therefore, if we effect any stock
split or reverse split with respect to our common stock, the exercise price in
effect immediately prior to such stock split or reverse split will be
proportionately reduced or increased, respectively.
The
exercise price of the representatives’ warrants is also subject to adjustment in
the event of any change in the common stock through merger, consolidation,
reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, purchase of
substantially all our assets, or other change in our capital structure.
Therefore, if we effect any of these changes, the exercise price in effect
immediately prior to that event will be proportionately reduced or increased,
respectively. Any adjustment of the exercise price will also result in an
adjustment of the number or kind of securities or property purchasable upon
exercise of the representatives’ warrants.
Transfer
Agent and Public Warrant Agent
The
transfer agent for our common stock and warrant agent for our public warrants is
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, located in New York, New
York.
Anti-Takeover
Provisions
Removal
of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our
directors may only be removed for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the
holders of two-thirds or more of the voting power of all of the then outstanding
shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors,
voting together as a single class. For purposes of director removal, cause means
conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, proof beyond a reasonable
doubt that a director has committed grossly negligent or willful misconduct
resulting in a material detriment or commission of a material breach of
fiduciary duty to the company resulting in a material detriment.
Advance
Notice Provisions for Certain Stockholder Actions. Our bylaws
establish an advance notice procedure with regard to the nomination, other than
by or at the direction of the Board or a committee thereof, of candidates for
election as directors and with regard to certain matters to be brought before an
annual meeting of stockholders. The advance notice procedures generally require
that a stockholder give prior written notice, in proper form, to our Secretary,
the requirements as to the form and timing of those notices are specified in the
bylaws. If it is determined that those advance notice procedures were not
complied with, a nomination could be precluded or certain business may not be
conducted at the meeting.
Although
our bylaws do not give the Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder
nominations for the election of directors or of any other business stockholders
desire to conduct at an annual or any other meeting, the bylaws may have the
effect of precluding a nomination for the election of directors or precluding
the conduct of business at a particular annual meeting if the proper procedures
are not followed, or discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a
solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise
attempting to obtain control, even if the conduct of that solicitation or
attempt might be beneficial to our stockholders.
No
Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings. Our
certificate of incorporation provides that stockholder action can be taken only
at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and prohibits stockholder action
by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders can be called only by the
Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Board by
the written order of a majority of directors or upon a written request of
Stockholders owning two-thirds or more of our issued and outstanding capital
stock and entitled to vote. The written request of stockholders must state the
purpose of the meeting and be delivered to the Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary. Accordingly, holders of a
significant percentage of our outstanding capital stock may not be able to
compel a special meeting of stockholders.
Amendment
of Certain Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
stockholders have the right to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws and with the
approval of the board, the certificate of incorporation. Our certificate of
incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the
voting power of the then outstanding shares of voting stock, voting together as
a single class and in addition to any other vote required by our certificate of
incorporation or bylaws, is required to amend provisions of the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws relating to:
|
|
· |
the
prohibition of stockholder action without a
meeting; |
|
|
· |
the
restriction of stockholders calling a special
meeting; |
|
|
· |
the
number, election and term of directors;
or |
|
|
· |
the
removal of directors. |
The vote
of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of voting stock
is required to amend all other provisions of our certificate of incorporation.
Our certificate of incorporation further provides that our bylaws may otherwise
be amended by the board or by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the
voting power of the then outstanding shares of our voting stock, voting together
as a single class. These supermajority voting requirements will have the effect
of making it more difficult for stockholders to amend the bylaws or the
certificate of incorporation.
The
shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the public warrants will be
offered solely by us, and no underwriters are participating in this offering.
For the holders of the public warrants to exercise the warrants, there must be a
current registration statement covering the common stock underlying the warrants
on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The issuance of the common
stock must also be registered with various state securities commissions or
exempt from registration under the securities laws of the states where the
public warrant holders reside. We intend to maintain a current registration
while the public warrants are exercisable. The public warrants expire on May 7,
2009.
The
representatives’ warrants entitle the holders to purchase an aggregate of 50,000
units, each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant.
Because the common stock and the warrants underlying the units are now trading
separately, on exercise of the representatives’ warrant, the holders will
receive two shares of our common stock and a warrant for each
representatives’ warrant. Under the terms of the representatives’ warrants, we
are registering for issuance and resale the common stock, warrants and the
common stock underlying the warrants, all of which are securities underlying the
representatives’ warrants. Under the terms of the representatives’ warrants, we
have also agreed to indemnify the holders of the representatives’ warrants in
connection with the sale of securities underlying the representatives’ warrants
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
We are
also registering a portion of the securities offered hereby for resale on behalf
of the selling security holders. As used in this section, the term “selling
security holder securities” includes the shares of common stock, warrants and
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of those warrants that are
issuable on exercise of the representatives’ warrants. The selling security
holder securities offered hereby may be sold from time-to-time by selling
security holders in one or more transactions on Nasdaq, in negotiated
transactions or a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices or at negotiated prices.
The
selling security holder securities may be sold from time-to-time directly to
purchasers by the selling security holders or by their assignees, transferees,
pledgees or other successors for their own accounts and not for our account.
Alternatively, the selling security holders may from time-to-time offer the
selling security holder securities through underwriters, dealers or agents. The
distribution of the selling security holder securities by the selling security
holders may be effected from time-to-time in one or more transactions or a
combination of such methods of sale, including:
|
|
· |
Ordinary
broker’s transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers. |
|
|
· |
In
connection with short sales of such
securities. |
|
|
· |
Privately
negotiated transactions or pledges. |
|
|
· |
Through
sales to one or more brokers or dealers for resale of such shares for
their own account as principals, pursuant to this
prospectus. |
|
|
· |
In
a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the
transaction. |
|
|
· |
In
connection with the writing of non-traded and exchange traded call
options, in hedge transactions and in settlement of other transactions in
standardized or over-the-counter
options. |
|
|
· |
In
exchange distributions or secondary distributions, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices or at negotiated
prices. |
We will
pay all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation of this prospectus
and registration of the shares offered hereby. The selling security holders will
be required to pay usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees
or commissions in connection with such sales.
In
connection with distributions of the selling security holder securities or
otherwise, the selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers may engage
in short sales of the selling security holder securities in the course of
hedging the positions they assume with selling security holders. The selling
security holders also may sell selling security holder securities short and
deliver the selling security holder securities to close out such short
positions. The selling security holders also may enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers, which require the delivery to the
broker-dealer of the selling security holder securities, which the broker-dealer
may resell pursuant to this prospectus. The selling security holders also may
pledge the selling security holder securities to a broker or dealer and upon a
default, the broker or dealer may effect sales of the pledged selling security
holder securities pursuant to this prospectus.
Any
brokers or dealers that participate in the distribution of the selling security
holder securities may be deemed to be “underwriters,” as defined in the
Securities Act, and any commissions, discounts, concessions or other payments
made to them, or any profits realized by them upon the resale of any selling
security holder securities purchased by them as principals, may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling
security holders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements,
understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding
the sale of their securities, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker
acting in connection with the proposed sale of selling security holder
securities by the selling security holders.
Under the
securities laws of certain states, the selling security holder securities may be
sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In
addition, in certain states the selling security holder securities may not be
sold unless the selling security holder securities have been registered or
qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or
qualification is available and is complied with.
There can
be no assurance that any of the selling security holders will sell any or all of
the selling security holder securities offered by them hereunder.
The sale
of the selling security holder securities is subject to the prospectus delivery
and other requirements of the Securities Act. To the extent required, we will
use our best efforts to file and distribute, during any period in which offers
or sales are being made, one or more amendments or supplements to this
prospectus or a new registration statement with respect to the selling security
holder securities to describe any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this prospectus, including, but not
limited to, the number of securities being offered and the terms of the
offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, if
any, the purchase price paid by the underwriter for selling security holder
securities purchased from a selling security holder, and any discounts,
commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and the
proposed selling price to the public, and other facts material to the
transaction.
Under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the regulations thereunder, any person
engaged in a distribution of the selling security holder securities offered by
this prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with
respect to our securities during the applicable “cooling off” period one
business day prior to the commencement of such distribution.
Any
underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short
covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the
Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which
create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the
underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified
maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the
open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a
dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a
covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the
price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced,
the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The
registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that a director will not be
personally liable to it or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of the fiduciary duty of care as a director. This provision does not eliminate
or limit the liability of a director:
|
|
· |
for
breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the registrant or to its
stockholders; |
|
|
· |
for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; |
|
|
· |
under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to unlawful
payments or dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions);
or |
|
|
· |
for
any improper benefit. |
The
registrant’s certificate of incorporation also provides that it will indemnify
and hold harmless each of its directors and officers to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, against all expense,
liability and loss (including court costs and attorney's fees, judgments, fines,
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith.
The
registrant has obtained liability insurance for its officers and
directors.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
provisions above and the Delaware General Corporation Law, the registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

17. Undertakings
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes;
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the
effective registration statement.
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement.
Provided,
however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration
statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertake that: (1) for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from
the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance
upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrants
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall
be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was
declared effective; and (2) for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on the 19th day
of December, 2007.
