In 2004, FASB issued a revision of FASB Statement No. 123. This
Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 and its related implementation guidance.
This revised pronouncement requires that all stock options and warrants be accounted
for using the fair value method. This pronouncement will have the effect of
future stock-based compensation resulting in a fair value charge to the Company
commencing in fiscal 2006.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial information for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 prepared by management and the audited consolidated
financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 as presented
in the Form 10KSB filed on EDGAR.
Although the Company has experienced a net loss this quarter, it continues to
expend considerable effort in developing new markets for NETMIND, in developing
new advanced sonar products, and in securing new contracts for the manufacture
of military anti-terrorism systems, submarine command and control consoles,
multi mode fiber optic cables for military fighter planes, and precision machined
parts and other components for defense systems.
The Company believes that its overall business prospects look promising and
anticipates increased revenues in the near to medium future.
The Company has tendered proposals and price quotations on a submarine control
console manufacturing contract, which is in the final stages of being awarded
to the Company, and an aircraft carrier anti terrorism
system manufacturing contract, which is anticipated to be awarded in 2005.
Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this report and elsewhere (such as in other filings by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), press
releases, presentations by the Company of its management and oral statements)
may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "expects,"
"anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes,"
"seeks," "estimates," and "should," and variations
of these words and similar expressions, are intended to identify these forward-looking
statements. Actual results may materially differ from any forward-looking statements.
Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, among others,
competitive pressures and constantly changing technology and market acceptance
of the Company's products and services. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements,
which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The Company’s Services
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is an underwater sonar technology developer,
a defense electronics manufacturer and a defense systems integrator.
Underwater Sonar Products and Technologies
a - The NETMIND System
The Company’s first underwater sonar product based on our core technology
was the NETMIND system. NETMIND’s market is the world’s commercial
fishing industry and government oceanic research agencies. One of our largest
customers has been the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA).
NETMIND is both a conservation tool as well as an efficiency tool. Electronic
sensors attached to a fishing trawl measure the height and width of the net
opening, the water temperature, the depth of the net and the amount of fish
caught plus other parameters. The sensor information is transmitted via a wireless
communications link back to the ship.
NETMIND helps prevent over fishing and allows fishermen to catch fewer fish
and still make profits. This gives regulators flexibility in reducing quotas
when attempting to conserve limited fish stocks.
Sales for NETMIND decreased from the same period last year and remain somewhat
slower than expected because of downturns in the fishing industry in areas where
we had focused our sales efforts. Sales have not expanded in Europe primarily
because our marketing campaign there was spread too thin. However, an upswing
in activity over the next six months is expected primarily because, subsequent
to the end of the current quarter, the Company received funding in the amount
of $400,000 USD from a government agency as part of a two year $540,000 USD
international marketing program for its NETMIND system. The Company believes
that this aggressive, targeted campaign will revitalize NETMIND sales and expects
to see increasing revenues going forward.
b - The AQUACOMM Project
The AQUACOMM project is a $2.5 Million in house research and development program
for the development of new, leading edge multiple application sonar technologies
and products for a variety of industries. These include defense, offshore oil
and gas, commercial fishing, oceanography, marine environment and marine transportation.
To date, the Company has expended $2,491,000 pursuant to this program. New developments
from the AQUACOMM project include a general purpose acoustic receiver, spread
spectrum acoustic communications and improved sensors.
The Company intends to use its Venture Technology Business Model to maximize
the success of the new AQUACOMM technologies. In this model, our core technology
is invested in partnerships with established companies in the different industry
sectors.
c – Defense Sonar System
The Company is a subcontractor on Lockheed Martin’s anti terrorism Swimmer
Detection System (SDS). The SDS is a new technology that should provide anti
terrorism protection to moored ships and harbor side assets. The SDS is a wide
band high frequency sonar system designed specifically to detect and classify
underwater terrorist threats. The SDS provides moored vessels and harbor side
assets with 360 degree omni directional coverage and has been proven to reliably
detect, classify and track underwater intruders at the longest possible ranges
in the most demanding environments.
Lockheed Martin’s SDS is currently under evaluation for protection of
surface ships in the U.S. navy fleet. The SDS is being marketed in the United
States and around the world.
The Company expects that Homeland Security and Anti Terrorism will become a
major part of our business with the production of sonar hardware for the SDS
and other systems.
Electronic Contract Manufacturing
In the fall of 1999 we signed a contract with Lockheed Martin, Manassas, Virginia
to fabricate and test control consoles for Navy submarines. This contract was
successfully completed in early 2001. A follow-on contract was received and
completed in the fall of 2001. Currently, we have submitted bids to Lockheed
Martin for several console contracts. Subsequent to the end of the current quarter,
a contract to manufacture a number of submarine command and control consoles
is in the final stages of being awarded to the Company. The contract details
are being held in confidence at the request of the customer. Further contracts
are anticipated before the end of 2005 and in early 2006.
In the previous quarter the Company’s subsidiary, Northstar Network Ltd.,
signed an agreement with Cathexis Innovations Inc. to manufacture Cathexis’s
proprietary Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, ID Blue. This device
is a pen-sized scanner that reads and writes information stored on RFID tags
and wirelessly transfers it to a desktop computer, laptop, PDA or Pocket PC
via Bluetooth.
During the quarter the Company submitted a bid to a large German defense contractor
to supply components for an army weapons system. The contract award is expected
before the end of 2005.
Systems Development & Integration
The Company is developing its approach to securing and executing large defense
contracts by bringing together affiliate companies. The overall capability,
which is substantial, is presented to the prime contractors.
The aforementioned defense sonar system is an example of how Systems Integration
will work for us. In this project, the Company designed and constructed the
prototype sonar hardware and had four subcontractors who carried out various
tasks, with Northstar bringing all the component parts together for final assembly,
testing, quality control and delivery to the customer.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 with the three and
six months ended June 30, 2004:
Gross revenues from sales, miscellaneous and research and development recovery
for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 were $363,557 compared to $532,206
in the comparative prior period. Gross revenues from sales, miscellaneous and
research and development recovery for the six month period ended June 30, 2005
were $660,466 compared to $938,332 in the comparative prior period.
Sales revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 was $153,497 compared
to $219,461 of sales revenue recorded during the same period of the prior year.
This comparative decrease is the result of decreased demand from the fishing
industry, which impacted on the sales of the NETMIND systems. Sales revenue
for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 was $338,124 comparable to $487,742
in the prior period. Gross margins decreased from $224,749 (46%) in the prior
period to $180,323 (53%) in the current period.
The net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 was $(238,743) compared
to a net loss of $(80,536) for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Over this
past quarter, the Company continued to invest considerable resources in seeking
out additional and future contract manufacturing opportunities and is confident
that the efforts will return positive results to the Company over the ensuing
months and years.
Travel and business development costs were reduced to $60,762 for the six months
from $117,376 for the comparative prior period ended June 30, 2004 due to the
limitations of working capital.
The Company is actively pursuing contracts for its sonar capabilities in military
and anti terrorist applications as well the Company has bid on several contract
manufacturing military contracts and has received a contract from Lockheed Martin
for the production of submarine command and control consoles subsequent to this
quarter.
During the quarter the Company increased expenditures on the marketing and advertising
of its NETMIND system and expanded awareness of the NETMIND system through trade
shows and a growing distribution network including Ireland, Spain and the Scandinavian
countries. The system upgrades are being well received by our fishing industry
customers and by government researchers. Subsequent to the end of the quarter
the Company received approval for funding of $400,000 USD as part of a $540,000
USD international marketing campaign for its commercial sonar product.
The Company continued on its research and development program at a reduced pace
towards extending its underwater wireless communication technology into new
products. Due to limited working capital salaries were reduced to $489,653 for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to salaries of $558,677 for the
comparative prior six months ended June 30, 2004. The slower pace of activity
resulted in a decrease of cost recovery to $317,942 compared with $437,955 recovered
in the comparative prior period.
Comparison of Financial Position at June 30, 2005 with December 31, 2004
The Company’s working capital deficiency at June 30, 2005 increased to
$391,552 with current liabilities of $671,055 in excess of current assets of
$279,503. At December 31, 2004 the Company had a working capital deficiency
of $206,593.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation
of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described
in the footnotes to our financial statements at December 31, 2004. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes.
Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions
it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by
us which have a material impact on our financial condition and results. Management
believes its critical accounting policies reflect its most significant estimates
and assumptions used in the presentation of our financial statements. Our critical
accounting policies include revenue recognition, accounting for stock based
compensation and the evaluation of the recoverability of long lived and intangible
assets. We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or other relationships
with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special
purpose entities”.
During the period the company granted options to employees as described in Part
II, Item 2. The company's policy is to account for such stock-based compensation
using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB 25. The intrinsic value
of these stock options was $nil. Had the company accounted for stock-based compensation
using the fair-value method as prescribed by FAS 123, the effect on the net
loss for the six month period would have been as follows:
Net loss as stated: | $453,074 |
