NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ION Networks, Inc ("ION" or the "Company") designs, develops, manufactures and sells security solutions that protect enterprise network administrative interfaces from improper, unauthorized or otherwise undesirable access from external and internal sources. Administrative interfaces are the network access points used by highly trained technical individuals who are charged with the responsibilities of maintaining and supporting the networks and devices employed within the networks such as servers, routers, PBXs and similar network equipment. These technicians may be employees of the enterprise or employed by third parties such as managed service providers, consultants, device vendors or application developers. In all cases, they are considered trusted insiders since in order to perform their jobs; permission to enter and work within the network must be granted. The Companys solution, comprised of centralized management and control software, administrative security appliances and soft tokens, are designed to provide secure, auditable access to all administrative interfaces and monitored security once working within the network. Service Providers, Enterprises and Governmental Agencies utilize the ION solution globally in their voice, data and converged environments, to establish and maintain security policies while providing the support and maintenance required of networks and their devices.
The Company is a Delaware corporation founded in 1999 through the combination of two companies - MicroFrame ("MicroFrame"), a New Jersey Corporation (the predecessor entity to the Company, originally founded in 1982), and SolCom Systems Limited ("SolCom"), a Scottish corporation located in Livingston, Scotland (originally founded in 1994). The Scottish corporation was dissolved in 2003. The Company's principal objective is to address the need for security and network management and monitoring solutions, primarily for the PBX-based telecommunications market, resulting in a significant portion of its revenues being generated from sales to various telecommunications companies.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to make the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2005 and 2004 not misleading have been made. The results of operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not indicative of a full year or any other interim period.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the report on Form 10-KSB/A3 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and as amended on August 1, 2005.
At September 30, 2005, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $43,792,829 and a working capital of $656,751. The Company also realized net income of $28,536 and net loss of $216,251 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The Company continues to have a delicate cash position. Management believes it is necessary for it to continue to strictly manage expenditures and to increase product revenues despite the cash infusion of $750,000 (less approximately $78,859 for expenses) on March 31, 2005 from the sale of 4,411,765 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,205,882 shares of common stock (the Equity Financing). On September 21, 2005, the Company entered into an asset based revolving credit facility, for $2.5 million with Bridge Bank, N.A. (The Revolving Credit Facility). The Revolving Credit Facility has a two-year term and provides for advances of up to $2.0 million against 80% of eligible accounts receivables and an additional $500,000 against inventory capped at 30% of eligible accounts receivables.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ION Networks, Inc. and its Subsidiary. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. The reclassifications were principally due to the change in classification of amortized expense related to capitalized software costs from operating expenses to cost of sales. There was no change in previously reported net income (loss).

Capitalized Software
The Company capitalizes computer software development costs in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS No. 86"). SFAS No. 86 requires that the Company capitalize computer software development costs upon the establishment of the technological feasibility of a product, to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered through future sales of the product. Management is required to use professional judgment in determining whether development costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization. These costs are amortized to cost of sales by the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues from the sales of software bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from the sales of that software, or (ii) the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the product. As a result, the carrying amount of the capitalized software costs may be reduced materially in the near term.
The Company records impairment losses on capitalized software and other long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. The Companys cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect its best estimate of future market and operating conditions. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value. While the Company believes that its estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows could materially affect the Companys estimates.
Amortization expense totaled $27,461 and $85,809 for the three month periods ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $93,155 and $266,645 for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization expense is included in Cost of sales in the Statement of Operations.
Net Earnings (Loss) per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their inclusion would be antidilutive. The following table sets forth the components used in the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share:
For the three months ended | For the nine months ended | |||
Sept. 30, 2005 (Unaudited)** | Sept. 30, 2004 (Unaudited)** | Sept. 30, 2005 (Unaudited)* | Sept. 30, 2004 (Unaudited)* | |
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic | 27,050,044 | 22,883,652 | 25,606,383 | 23,527,872 |
Incremental shares of common stock equivalents | 1,026,532 | 1,731,076 | - | - |
Conversion of preferred stock to common stock | 1,555,570 | 1,668,350 | - | - |
Conversion of convertible debenture to common stock | 2,409,639 | 1,350,457 | - | - |
Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted | 32,041,785 | 27,633,535 | 25,606,383 | 23,527,872 |
* Potential common shares of 12,785,422 and 10,193,618 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would be anti dilutive.
** For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, 5,756,213 and 3,484,811 potential common shares were not included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock for the period.

Stock Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and comply with the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation as amended by SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, issued in December 2002. Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, generally on the date of grant, between the fair value of our stock and the exercise price of the option. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employee vendors in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees from Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the date on which the counter partys performance is complete.
If the Company had elected to recognize compensation costs based on the fair value at the date of grant for awards for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income(loss) and basic and diluted net income(loss) per share would have increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually based on enacted tax laws and rates for temporary differences between the financial accounting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Warranty Costs
The Company estimates its warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience. Future costs for warranties applicable to sales recognized in the current period are charged to cost of sales. The warranty accrual is reviewed quarterly to reflect the remaining obligation. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates. The warranty accrual included in other current liabilities as of September 30, 2005 is $10,000.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in conjunction with borrowing facilities have been capitalized as Deferred Financing Costs and are amortized over the term of the respective agreements.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in EITF Issue 05-8 (Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature):
·
The issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference in applying FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Recognition of such a feature effectively creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes, whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income tax purposes.
·
The resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount of the liability is recovered or settled.
·
Recognition of deferred taxes for the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
The foregoing consensus is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Debt Instruments (and thus is applicable to debt instruments converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the financial statements). The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (SFAS 153). The amendments made by SFAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. The FASB believes that exception required that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, be recorded on a carryover basis. By focusing the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the FASB this Statement produces financial reporting that more faithfully represents the economics of the transactions. The Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4 Inventory Pricing. The amendments made by Statement 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company expects that the adoption of this statement will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In October 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 04-8, The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share. The EITF reached a consensus that contingently convertible instruments, such as contingently convertible debt, contingently convertible preferred stock, and other such securities should be included in diluted earnings per share (if dilutive) regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. The consensus became effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

These items arose from alleged services provided to the Company between November 2002 and August 2003.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
ION Networks, Inc ("ION" or the "Company") designs, develops, manufactures and sells security solutions that protect enterprise network administrative interfaces from improper, unauthorized or otherwise undesirable access from external and internal sources. Administrative interfaces are the network access points used by highly trained technical individuals who are charged with the responsibilities of maintaining and supporting the networks and devices employed within the networks such as servers, routers, PBXs and similar network equipment. These technicians may be employees of the enterprise or employed by third parties such as managed service providers, consultants, device vendors or application developers. In all cases, they are considered trusted insiders since in order to perform their jobs; permission to enter and work within the network must be granted. The Companys solution, comprised of centralized management and control software, administrative security appliances and soft tokens, are designed to provide secure, auditable access to all administrative interfaces and monitored security once working within the network. Service Providers, Enterprises and Governmental Agencies utilize the ION solution globally in their voice, data and converged environments, to establish and maintain security policies while providing the support and maintenance required of networks and their devices.
The Company is a Delaware corporation founded in 1999 through the combination of two companies - MicroFrame ("MicroFrame"), a New Jersey Corporation (the predecessor entity to the Company, originally founded in 1982), and SolCom Systems Limited ("SolCom"), a Scottish corporation located in Livingston, Scotland (originally founded in 1994). The Scottish corporation was dissolved in 2003. The Company's principal objective is to address the need for security and network management and monitoring solutions, primarily for the PBX-based telecommunications market, resulting in a significant portion of its revenues being generated from sales to various telecommunications companies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004:
Net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, were $1,158,928 compared to net sales of $1,047,054 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $111,874 or 10.7%. Revenues for the third quarter of 2005 were higher compared to the same quarter of 2004 primarily due to approximate increases in professional services revenues of $71,000, appliance sales of $25,000 and accessories sales of $11,000 as compared to the same period last year.
Cost of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 was $330,062 compared to $392,009 for the same period in 2004. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 decreased to 28.5% from 37.4% for the same period in 2004. Gross margins increased from 62.6% to 71.5% in the quarter ending September 30, 2005 compared to the same period last year. The 8.9% gross margin improvement was the result of several factors including higher margins generated by increased professional service revenues which added approximately 6.1%, improved appliance margins adding 1.5%, and additional margin improvements due to lower amortization of software 0.7% and increased manufacturing labor efficiencies of 0.6%.
Research and development expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 were $120,199 compared to $167,247 for the same period in 2004 or a decrease of $47,048. This reduction reflects an increase of approximately $13,000 of expense offset by increased capitalization of software development costs of approximately $60,000 related to the new products reaching the technological feasibility stage, including the new 5600 and Secure Modem product lines.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $672,851 compared to $530,768 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $142,083. The increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to increased payroll related expenses for salaries and commissions of $129,375, impact of prior year same period adjustments reducing allowance for bad debt of $25,000 and software expense by $12,148, and increased marketing expenses primarily related to new products launch of $13,765 offset in part by reduced expenses for professional services of $24,098 and non-health related insurances of $12,187.
Restructuring, asset impairment and other charges for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were zero compared to a credit of $63,716 for the same period in 2004. This credit was the result of a reduction in the California rent accrual.
Depreciation expense was $2,158 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $14,808 in the same period in 2004. The decrease was due to a reduction of depreciable fixed assets in the three month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
12
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $28,536 and $5,699, respectively. The increase of net income of $22,837 was due primarily to increased gross margins of $173,821, lower expenses for R&D of $47,048 and depreciation of $12,650 offset in part by higher SG&A expenses of $142,083 and the absence of restructuring credits of $63,716 which were recorded in the same period of the prior year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004:
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, were $3,141,509 compared to net sales of $2,558,315 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $583,194 or 22.8%. This increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was due primarily to increased software of $226,849, hardware of $224,172 and professional services (mainly related to a contract with the Defense Department) of $172,841 offset in part by lower repair service of $78,353. The net hardware revenue increase of $224,172 was due primarily to increases in current and new products of approximately $670,000 offset in part by declining legacy appliance sales of approximately $460,000.
Cost of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $959,928 compared to $1,060,598 for the same period in 2004. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased to 30.5% from 41.5% for the same period in 2004. The 11.0% growth in gross margin to 69.5% from 58.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, was primarily due to reduced amortization expense for capitalized software costs of $173,490 resulting in approximately a 7.5% margin improvement. In addition, 3.0% of the 11.0% can be attributed to a greater mix of higher margin software, professional services, maintenance and repair revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
Research and development expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $397,198 compared to $427,525 for the same period in 2004 or a decrease of $30,327. Research and development expenses declined primarily because of increased capitalization of software development costs of approximately $284,623 related to the new products reaching the technological feasibility stage, including 5600 and Secure Modem product lines offset in part by increased personnel related costs of $159,799 and outside engineering project expenditures of $94,648.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $1,998,213 compared to $1,721,400 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $276,813. The increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to increased payroll related expenses for salaries and commissions of $271,262, impact of prior year adjustments for forgiveness of debt $59,570 and reducing allowance for bad debt of $25,000, and increased marketing expenses primarily related to new products launch of $19,564 offset in part by reduced expenses for non-health related insurances of $81,985 and professional services of $59,263.
Restructuring, asset impairment and other charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were zero compared to a credit of $63,716 for the same period in 2004. This credit was the result of a reduction in the California rent accrual.
Depreciation expense was $7,070 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $55,417 in the same period in 2004. The decrease was due to lower depreciable assets in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 declined to $216,251 from $626,171 for the same period in 2004. This improvement of $409,920 was due primarily to increased gross margins of $683,864, lower expenses for R&D of $30,327 and depreciation of $48,347 offset in part by higher SG&A expenses of $276,813 and the absence of a restructuring credit of $63,716 which was recorded in the same period of the prior year.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital balance as of September 30, 2005 was $656,751 compared to $372,861 at December 31, 2004. The increase of $283,890 was due primarily to the receipt by the Company of the net proceeds of $671,141 realized from the sale of 4,411,764 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2,205,882 shares of common stock and borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility of $200,000, offset by increases in accounts receivable of $318,037 and inventory of $80,529, operating losses net of depreciation and amortization of $116,026 and reductions in current liabilities of $133,842.
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $612,638 compared to net cash used during the same period in 2004 of $181,095. The net cash used in operating activities was $431,543 more for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. While the net loss during 2005 was $409,920 less than the loss in 2004, non-cash adjustments were only $60,317 compared to $425,274. In addition inventory grew by $80,530 during 2005 while shrinking by $219,540 during the same period last year. Accounts receivable, due to increased revenue, grew by $318,038 compared to $126,992 for the same period in 2004.
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $468,813 compared to $180,451 in the same period in 2004. This increase in cash used of $288,362 was primarily due to increased capitalized software expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
13
Net cash provided from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $844,416 compared to net cash used during the same period in 2004 of $143,973. The increase of $700,443 was primarily due to the net proceeds from issuance of shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2005 for $671,141 and $200,000 of borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility which was offset in the previous year by the issuance of the subordinated convertible debenture in the amount of $200,000.
