(unaudited)
1. Business
SPEEDCOM Wireless Corporation (SPEEDCOM) was incorporated in Florida on March 16, 1994 and reincorporated in Delaware on September 26, 2000. SPEEDCOM manufactures and
installs custom broadband wireless networking equipment for business and residential customers internationally. Through its Wave Wireless Networking division, SPEEDCOM manufactures a variety of broadband wireless products, including the SPEEDLAN
family of wireless Ethernet bridges and routers. Internet service providers, telephone company operators and private organizations in over 60 countries use SPEEDCOM products to provide last-mile wireless connectivity between multiple
buildings at speeds up to 155 Megabits per second and distances up to 25 miles.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with SPEEDCOMs annual financial statements and notes thereto included in SPEEDCOMs Form 10-KSB.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for those periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2002.
3. Liquidity and Managements Plans
Projected cash flows from SPEEDCOMs current operations are not sufficient to finance SPEEDCOMs current and projected working
capital requirements. SPEEDCOM will have to obtain additional capital to execute its business plan for 2002. In April 2002, SPEEDCOM borrowed $750,000 from three institutional investors, which was used for current operations. In May 2002, SPEEDCOM
borrowed an additional $250,000 from three institutional investors, which was used for current operations. In June 2002, SPEEDCOM borrowed an additional $795,000 from three institutional investors, which was used for current operations. SPEEDCOM
will seek additional capital to fund the growth of its business, develop next generation products and to take advantage of opportunities that may arise. This additional capital could come from the sale of common or preferred stock, or from
additional borrowings. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If SPEEDCOM is unable to secure significant additional financing, SPEEDCOM will have to further downsize its business or

might arise as a result of this uncertainty.

In January 2001, SPEEDCOM acquired worldwide rights for six years
to PacketHop, a wireless routing software developed by SRI International (SRI). Under the terms of
the agreement, SPEEDCOM obtains rights to SRIs PacketHop technology in the fixed wireless
infrastructure market for the primary frequencies below 6 GHz. Per the agreement, SRI received a total of 325,000 shares of common stock of SPEEDCOM that was issued in four traunches. Each traunch was measured on the specific date that the stock was
issued on. As of June 30, 2002, the value of these shares at the date of grant less amortization is classified in Intellectual property on the balance sheet. SPEEDCOM also has paid $360,000 in cash, included in Intellectual property on the balance
sheet, which is being amortized over six years. Per the terms of the agreement, SRI may terminate the exclusive period (18 months) by providing written notice of such termination unless by such time SPEEDCOM has successfully closed a liquid event
where SRI had the opportunity to obtain net proceeds of at least $5,000,000. Due to the fact that such an event has not occurred, it is expected that SPEEDCOM will lose its exclusive rights to PacketHop in July 2002, but will retain its perpetual license agreement. SPEEDCOM has evaluated this long-lived asset for impairment by comparing the
undiscounted expected future cash flows to its carrying amount. The undiscounted expected future cash flows are more than the carrying value of the asset, so an impairment loss has not been recognized.

7. Related Party Transactions
Note Receivable-Related Party
During 2001, SPEEDCOM sold its InstallGuys division to SPEEDCOMs former Chief Executive Officer. In return, SPEEDCOM received two 6% secured promissory notes totaling $211,295. In October 2001,
SPEEDCOM loaned InstallGuys an additional $50,000 at 6% interest. The notes and interest are due in August 2004. As a stipulation to the separation agreement between SPEEDCOM and its former Chief Executive Officer, SPEEDCOM will forgive all
indebtedness owed by InstallGuys, provided that the terms of the separation agreement are complied with through May 31, 2003. Consequently, SPEEDCOM has charged the notes receivable to severance expense in June 2002.
Loans from Stockholders
In April 2002, SPEEDCOM borrowed $750,000 from three institutional investors. In May 2002, SPEEDCOM borrowed an additional $250,000 from three institutional investors. The loans bear an interest rate
of 15% and are payable at the earlier of (i) ninety days following the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to a bona fide merger, stock sale or sale of all or substantially all of the SPEEDCOMs assets or (ii) July 31, 2002. The
July 31, 2002 maturity date was extended to December 31, 2003 in June 2002. As a stipulation to these loans, the term of all outstanding Series B Warrants of SPEEDCOM dated August 23, 2001 was extended to July 31, 2002.
In June 2002, SPEEDCOM borrowed $795,000 from three institutional investors. The loan bears an interest rate of 15% and is payable
December 31, 2003, subject to an extension. As a stipulation to this loan, the term of all outstanding Series B Warrants of SPEEDCOM dated August 23, 2001 was extended to October 14, 2002.
SPEEDCOM borrowed and issued an 18% $50,000 promissory note to SPEEDCOMs Vice President of Sales in December 2001. The note is due August 16, 2002 and is secured by
property of SPEEDCOM. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, $35,000 of this loan was repaid. During July 2002, an additional $4,000 of this loan was repaid.
SPEEDCOM also borrowed and issued an 18% $106,000 promissory note to an investor in December 2001 that was due December 28, 2001. SPEEDCOM paid $80,000 of this note in
9
SPEEDCOM WIRELESS CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
December 2001. In January 2002, SPEEDCOM paid the remaining $26,000 balance on the note and
accrued interest.
In March 2002, SPEEDCOM issued three promissory notes to each of SPEEDCOMs outside Board
members for $14,738, $13,875 and $15,750, respectively. Each note bears an interest rate of 14% and carries an additional 2% penalty on outstanding principle not paid by April 15, 2002. $16,600 of these notes has been paid as of June 30, 2002. The
remaining principle of the notes, interest and penalties has not been repaid.
In June 2001, SPEEDCOM borrowed and
issued a $250,000 promissory note to the Companys former President. The note had an interest rate of 10% and was payable in April 2002. The Company concurrently granted a total of 73,333 warrants with a $3.25 strike price in connection with
this note. The proportionate fair value of the warrants amounted to $92,500 and was recorded as an addition to paid-in capital and as an original issue discount reducing the carrying value of the note. On June 29, 2001, this loan was converted to
111,667 shares of preferred stock, 83,751 Series A Warrants and 111,667 Series B Warrants. The Series A Warrants were valued at $169,177. The Series B Warrants vested contingent upon certain performance factors and were valued at $54,717. The
difference in the carrying value on the promissory note as compared to the combined fair value of the warrants and preferred stock was recorded as an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of debt.
In June 2001, SPEEDCOM borrowed $1,500,000 from three institutional investors. The loan had an interest rate of 10% and was payable in
April 2002. The Company concurrently granted a total of 440,000 warrants with a $3.25 strike price in connection with this loan. The proportionate fair value of the warrants amounted to $555,000 and was recorded as an addition to paid-in capital and
as an original issue discount reducing the carrying value of the loan. On June 29, 2001, $550,000 of this loan was converted to 245,667 shares of preferred stock, 184,251 Series A Warrants and 245,667 Series B Warrants. The Series A Warrants were
valued at $372,187. The Series B Warrants vested contingent upon certain performance factors and were valued at $120,377. The difference in the carrying value related to the converted portion of this loan as compared to the combined fair value of
the warrants and preferred stock was recorded as an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of debt.
SPEEDCOM recorded a loss from the early extinguishment of debt related to the conversions discussed above. When the nonconvertible loans originated, value was allocated to the warrants based on the Black-Scholes pricing model. This
value was being amortized over the maturity of the loan. When the loan was converted to preferred stock, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, the carrying value less the fair value of the warrants and preferred stock was immediately expensed to
loss from the early extinguishment of debt.

In January 2002, SPEEDCOM entered into a financial relations and
consultant contract whereby the consultant will receive each month a $10,000 convertible note with a 12% coupon rate. The notes are convertible at any time at $1.125 per share. As of June 30, 2002, the note holders possess rights to convert the
notes to 45,000 shares of restricted common stock. This contract was cancelled in May 2002.
9. Stockholders Equity
Common Stock
In January 2002, 459,219 shares were issued as a result of a repricing provision that applied to 83,000 shares of common stock
issued on October 30, 2000 for a price of $7.35 per share, or a total of $610,050. Additional shares were issued based on a reset price, which is the weighted average closing price of SPEEDCOM common stock for the first ten trading days of January
2002; provided that the reset price is not less than $1.1251 or more than $1.19. Because the average price of SPEEDCOMs common stock during the first ten trading days of 2002 was below the $1.1251 reset floor, the total number of shares, as
adjusted after repricing, was determined by dividing $610,050 by such floor.
Also in January 2002, 20,000 $0.01
options were exercised for 20,000 shares of common stock.
In June 2002, 258,274 Series B Warrants were exercised
for 258,274 shares of common stock.
Employee Stock-Based Compensation
In February 2002, SPEEDCOM issued stock options to employees for the purchase of 750,100 common shares at $0.60 per share. The Company
recorded $67,500 in stock-based compensation expense in relation to these options during the six months ended June 30, 2002. These options vest upon the achievement during 2002 of certain revenue milestones or in full one year from the issuance. The
revenue milestone had not been met as of June 30, 2002. These options vest upon a change of control transaction with the ability to exercise the options for up to one year after vesting. Upon a change of control and if the one year performance
period has not expired, the employee may surrender the performance options for cash payment at the calculated change of control common share transaction value for payment within 30 days by the surviving company.

SPEEDCOM WIRELESS CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
In June 2002, SPEECOM issued stock options to its former Chief
Executive Officer for the purchase of 500,000 common shares at $0.20 per share. The stock options have a term of 40 months. In connection with this issuance of options, SPEEDCOM recognized severance costs of $29,850 during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2002.
Preferred Stock
Each share of preferred stock issued in August 2001 is convertible at any time into 2.25 shares of common stock, subject to anti-dilution protection, and will accrue
dividends, beginning August 23, 2003, to be paid upon conversion at the rate of 14% per year times the $3.38 per share liquidation preference. The liquidation preference increased from $2.25 to $3.38 ($4.50 if paid in stock) because a change of
control agreement was not announced by February 23, 2002 and closed by April 23, 2002.
10. Customer
Concentrations
Although SPEEDCOM serves a large and varied group of customers, one customer accounted for 11%
of SPEEDCOMs revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002. No customer accounted for more than 10% of SPEEDCOMs revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002. One customer accounted for 12% of SPEEDCOMs revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and two customers accounted for 28% of SPEEDCOMs revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001. In addition, two customers accounted for 25% of SPEEDCOMs gross accounts receivable as of June 30, 2002 and two
customers accounted for 21% of SPEEDCOMs gross accounts receivable as of June 30, 2001. SPEEDCOM intends to continue to attempt to diversify and expand its customer base with its current limited resources and maintain overhead costs at low
levels.
11. Lease Restructuring
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, SPEEDCOM converted two of its leases receivable, recorded at approximately $1,290,000, into a new lease receivable with
approximately $336,000 due immediately, five payments of $50,000 due over a five month period and a balloon payment of approximately $328,000 due in August 2002. As a result of this restructuring of the leases, SPEEDCOM recorded a provision for bad
debt of approximately $395,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2002.
12. Severance Costs
In the second quarter of 2002, SPEEDCOM recorded severance costs of $554,815 in accordance with the separation agreement
between SPEEDCOM and its former Chief Executive Officer. The costs include severance pay and other employee benefits, including amounts to be paid over future periods and the write off of notes receivable.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001
Net revenues decreased 59% from approximately $8,053,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to
approximately $3,295,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was due to unexpected delays in spending decisions by both potential and current customers during the first and second quarters. This factor, combined with the challenging
economic environment in both the United States and overseas, contributed to disappointing results. SPEEDCOM believes that new product introductions, a unique focus on offering a complete spectrum of fixed wireless products and its strength in key
international markets will enable SPEEDCOM to endure these difficult economic times. Cost of goods and services decreased 58% from approximately $4,583,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $1,921,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002, due primarily to decreases in SPEEDCOMs revenues. Revenues from customers in foreign geographic areas increased to 52% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 45% of revenues the six months ended June
30, 2001. The percentage of sales that are from international customers is expected to increase slightly during the year ended December 31, 2002.
Salaries and related, general and administrative and selling expenses decreased by 41% from approximately $6,037,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $3,544,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in
14
salaries and related expenses of approximately $1,293,000 related to decreased average headcount, a decrease in general and administrative
expenses of approximately $683,000 related to reduced spending on travel and consultancy fees, partially offset by increases in rent expense, and a decrease in selling expenses of approximately $518,000 related primarily to reduced trade show
participation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, SPEEDCOM converted two of its leases receivable,
recorded at approximately $1,290,000, into a new lease receivable with approximately $336,000 due immediately, five payments of $50,000 due over a five month period and a balloon payment of approximately $328,000 due in August 2002. As a result of
this restructuring of the leases, SPEEDCOM recorded a provision for bad debt of approximately $395,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2002.
During 2001, SPEEDCOM sold its InstallGuys division to SPEEDCOMs former Chief Executive Officer. In return, SPEEDCOM received two 6% secured promissory notes totaling $211,295. In October,
SPEEDCOM loaned InstallGuys an additional $50,000 at 6% interest. The notes and interest are due in August 2004. As a stipulation to the separation agreement between SPEEDCOM and its former Chief Executive Officer, SPEEDCOM will forgive all
indebtedness owed by InstallGuys, provided that the terms of the separation agreement are complied with through May 31, 2003. Consequently, SPEEDCOM has charged the notes receivable to severance expense in June 2002.
Net interest expense decreased from approximately $1,661,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $93,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was due to the addition of notes payable and loans from stockholders during the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first and second quarters of 2001 that were converted to preferred stock during 2001.
Net loss decreased 41% from approximately $6,079,000, or $.64 per share, in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to
approximately $3,569,000, or $.34 per share, in the six months ended June 30, 2002, as a result of the foregoing factors.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001
Net revenues decreased 66% from
approximately $4,035,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $1,377,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was due to unexpected delays in spending decisions by both potential and current customers during the
second quarter. This factor, combined with the challenging economic environment in both the United States and overseas, contributed to disappointing results. SPEEDCOM believes that new product introductions, a unique focus on offering a complete
spectrum of fixed wireless products and its strength in key international markets will enable SPEEDCOM to endure these difficult economic times. Cost of goods and services decreased 63% from approximately $2,348,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 to approximately $871,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, due primarily to decreases in SPEEDCOMs revenues. Revenues from customers in foreign geographic areas decreased to 38% of revenues for the three months ended June 30,
2002 as compared to 55% of revenues the three months ended June 30, 2001. The percentage of
15
sales that are from international customers is expected to increase slightly during the year ended
December 31, 2002.
Salaries and related, general and administrative and selling expenses decreased by 50% from
approximately $3,352,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $1,669,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and related expenses of approximately $912,000 related
to decreased average headcount, a decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $519,000 related to reduced spending on travel and consultancy fees, partially offset by increases in rent expense, and a decrease in selling expenses
of approximately $252,000 related primarily to reduced trade show participation.
During 2001, SPEEDCOM sold its
InstallGuys division to SPEEDCOMs former Chief Executive Officer. In return, SPEEDCOM received two 6% secured promissory notes totaling $211,295. In October, SPEEDCOM loaned InstallGuys an additional $50,000 at 6% interest. The notes and
interest are due in August 2004. As a stipulation to the separation agreement between SPEEDCOM and its former Chief Executive Officer, SPEEDCOM will forgive all indebtedness owed by InstallGuys, provided that the terms of the separation agreement
are complied with through May 31, 2003. Consequently, SPEEDCOM has charged the notes receivable to severance expense in June 2002.
Net interest expense decreased from approximately $1,501,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $67,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was due to the addition of notes payable
and loans from stockholders during the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first and second quarters of 2001 that were converted to preferred stock during 2001.
Net loss decreased 59% from approximately $4,909,000, or $.52 per share, in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $2,036,000, or $.19 per share, in the three months ended June 30, 2002,
as a result of the foregoing factors.
Taxes
At June 30, 2002, SPEEDCOM had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) for federal income tax purposes of approximately $11,500,000. The NOLs expire at various dates
through the year 2021. Utilization of SPEEDCOMs net operating loss may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such annual
limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss before utilization.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, SPEEDCOM used approximately $1,068,000 of cash for
operating activities. This was primarily due to SPEEDCOMs net loss for the period and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses partially offset by decreases in accounts
16
receivable, leases receivable and inventory. SPEEDCOM purchased approximately $6,000 of fixed assets
during the six months ending June 30, 2002 as compared to approximately $402,000 during the same period in 2001. SPEEDCOM does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures in the future. SPEEDCOM received approximately $1,388,000 from
its financing activities primarily through proceeds from shareholder loans partially offset by payments to factored accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2002, SPEEDCOM had cash of approximately $590,000.
In April 2002, SPEEDCOM borrowed $750,000 from three institutional investors, which was used for current operations. In May 2002, SPEEDCOM
borrowed an additional $250,000 from three institutional investors, which was used for current operations. The loans bear an interest rate of 15% and are payable at the earlier of (i) ninety days following the execution of a definitive agreement
with respect to a bona fide merger, stock sale or sale of all or substantially all of SPEEDCOMs assets or (ii) July 31, 2002. The maturity date was extended to December 31, 2003 in June 2002. As a stipulation to these loans, the term of all
outstanding Series B Warrants of SPEEDCOM dated August 23, 2001 was extended to July 31, 2002.
In June 2002,
SPEEDCOM borrowed $795,000 from three institutional investors. The loan bears an interest rate of 15% and is payable December 31, 2003, subject to an extension. As a stipulation to this loan, the term of all outstanding Series B Warrants of SPEEDCOM
dated August 23, 2001 was extended to October 14, 2002.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, SPEEDCOM used
approximately $4,051,000 of cash for its operating activities. This was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable (due to increases in sales) and the net loss for the period. SPEEDCOM purchased approximately $402,000 of fixed assets during
the six months ending June 30, 2001 as compared to approximately $478,000 during the same period in 2000. To fund this growth in assets and sales, SPEEDCOM raised approximately $4,316,000 through the issuance of promissory notes and loans from
stockholders.
Projected cash flows from SPEEDCOMs current operations are not sufficient to finance
SPEEDCOMs current and projected working capital requirements. SPEEDCOM believes that it will have to seek additional capital to execute its business plan for 2002. SPEEDCOM will seek additional capital to fund the growth of its business,
develop next generation products and to take advantage of opportunities that may arise. This additional capital could come from the sale of common or preferred stock, or from borrowings. There can be no assurance that such financing will be
available on acceptable terms, if at all. If SPEEDCOM is unable to secure significant additional financing, SPEEDCOM will have to further downsize its business or explore other alternatives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might arise as a result of this uncertainty.
17
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results, Financial Condition and Market
Price of Securities
If we do not raise additional capital, we will not be able to fulfill our business plan or continue as a
going concern.
In order to take advantage of possible opportunities in 2002 and to execute our business plan
for 2002 and 2003, we need to raise additional financial capital. This additional capital could come from the sale of common or preferred stock, the exercise of outstanding warrants, from borrowings, customer deposits, or from a strategic
transaction such as a merger. If we are unsuccessful in raising that capital we may not have sufficient funding to purchase necessary goods and services to execute our business plan. SPEEDCOMs 2002 and 2003 business plans include next
generation products which will have initial lead times for acquiring inventory that are much longer than current ones and that may require deposits upfront. SPEEDCOM will need to raise additional capital to fund these longer lead times for
purchasing inventory in order to execute its 2002 and 2003 business plans. If this capital is not obtained, additional changes in SPEEDCOMs cost structure and capital expenditures could be required, such as employee terminations and delays in
the introductions of the next generation of products or SPEEDCOM may be unable to continue as a going concern.
We may not be able to
compete successfully in the fixed wireless broadband market in view of rapid technological change and the resources required to deal with technological change.
The markets for our products and the technologies utilized in the industry in which we operate evolve rapidly and depend on key technologies, including wireless local area
networks, wireless packet data, modem and radio technologies. SPEEDCOM is developing a series of next generation products, which incorporates the PacketHop licensed technology from SRI. Delays in developing these products could have a negative effect on our future competitiveness as the industry is constantly changing as new technologies are
developed.
The fixed wireless broadband market is at an early stage of development and is rapidly evolving. As is
typical for a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced wireless networking products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty. Market acceptance of particular products cannot be predicted;
however, it is likely that new products will not be generally accepted unless they operate at higher speeds and are sold at lower prices. While the number of businesses recognizing the value of wireless solutions is increasing, we do not know
whether sufficient demand for our products will emerge and become sustainable. Prospects must be evaluated due to the risks encountered by a company in the early stages of marketing new products or services, particularly in light of the
uncertainties relating to the new and evolving markets in which we operate. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in addressing any or all of these risks, and the failure to do so would reduce demand for SPEEDCOMs products.
We could encounter future competition from larger wireless, computer and networking equipment companies. We could
also encounter additional future competition from companies
18
that offer products that replace or are alternatives to radio frequency wireless solutions. These products include, for example, products based
on infra-red technology, products based on laser technology, systems that utilize existing telephone wires or cables within a building as a wired network backbone and satellite systems outside of buildings.
Major changes could render products and technologies obsolete or subject to intense competition from alternative products or technologies
or by improvements in existing products or technologies. For example, Internet access and wireless local loop equipment markets may stop growing, whether as a result of the development of alternative technologies, such as fiber optic, coaxial cable
or satellite systems. Also, new or enhanced products developed by other companies may be technologically incompatible with SPEEDCOMs products and render our products obsolete.
Many of SPEEDCOMs current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources and, as a result, may be able to
respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or standards and to changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of products or to deliver competitive products at a lower end user
price. Current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address the needs of SPEEDCOMs existing and prospective
customers. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced operating margins and loss of market
share by SPEEDCOM.
SPEEDCOMs reliance on limited sources of wireless and computer components could result in delayed product
shipment and higher costs and could damage customer relationships.
Many of the key hardware and software
components necessary for the assembly of SPEEDCOMs products are only available from a single supplier or from a limited number of suppliers. Our reliance on sole or limited source suppliers involves several risks, including:
|
|
|
suppliers could increase component prices significantly, without advance notice; |
|
|
|
suppliers could discontinue or delay delivery of product components for reasons such as inventory shortages, new product offerings, increased cost of materials,
destruction of manufacturing facilities, labor disputes and bankruptcy; and |
|
|
|
in order to compensate for potential component shortages or discontinuance, in the future we may hold more inventory than is immediately required, resulting in
increased inventory costs. |
If our suppliers are unable to deliver or ration components to us,
we could experience interruptions and delays in manufacturing and sales, which could result in cancellation of orders for products or the need to modify products.
19
This may cause substantial delays in product shipments, increased manufacturing
costs and increased product prices. Further, we may not be able to develop alternative sources for these components in a timely way, if at all, and may not be able to modify our products to accommodate alternative components. These factors could
damage our relationships with current and prospective customers lasting longer than any underlying shortage or discontinuance.
Expanding indirect distribution channels may result in increased costs and lower margins.
To increase revenues, we believe that we must increase the number of our distribution partners. Managements strategy includes an effort to reach a greater number of end users through indirect channels. SPEEDCOM is currently
investing, and plans to continue to invest, significant resources to develop these indirect channels. These efforts may not generate the revenues necessary to offset such investments. We will be dependent upon the acceptance of our products by
distributors and their active marketing and sales efforts relating to our products. The distributors to whom we sell products are independent and are not obligated to deal with SPEEDCOM exclusively. Because SPEEDCOM does not generally fulfill orders
by end users of its products sold through distributors, SPEEDCOM will be dependent upon the ability of distributors to accurately forecast demand and maintain appropriate levels of inventory. Management expects that SPEEDCOMs distributors will
also sell competing products. These distributors may not continue, or may not give a high priority to, marketing and supporting our products. This and other channel conflicts could result in diminished sales through the indirect channels.
Additionally, because lower prices are typically charged on sales made through indirect channels, increased indirect sales could adversely affect the average selling prices and result in lower gross margins.
Growth may divert management resources from current operations.
SPEEDCOM anticipates that expansion will be required to address potential growth in the customer base and market opportunities. Future expansion is expected to place a significant strain on our
management, technical, operational, administrative and financial resources. SPEEDCOM will need to effectively manage any expansion, which could divert attention and resources from current operations. The expansion may be inadequate to support future
operations. We may be unable to attract, retain, motivate and manage required personnel, including finance, administrative and operations staff, or to successfully identify, manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities because of
inadequate staffing. We may also be unable to manage growth in our multiple relationships with original equipment manufacturers, distributors and other third parties.
Our international operations and sales involve significant risks that could reduce sales and increase expenses.
We anticipate that revenues from customers outside North America will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenues for the foreseeable future.
Expansion of international operations has required, and will continue to require, significant management attention and resources. In addition, we remain heavily dependent on distributors to market, sell and support
20
our products internationally. International operations are subject to additional risks, including the
following:
|
|
|
difficulties of staffing and managing foreign operations due to time differences, language barriers and staffing constraints in the foreign sales offices;
|
|
|
|
longer customer payment cycles and greater difficulties in collecting accounts receivable increase the amount of time that we have to fund our purchase of the
inventory sold; |
|
|
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, exchange rates, trading policies, tariffs and other barriers could increase our costs;
|
|
|
|
uncertainties of laws and enforcement relating to the protection of intellectual property could allow competitors to infringe on our technology;
|
|
|
|
limits on the ability to sue and enforce a judgment for accounts receivable increase the risk of bad debt expense; |
|
|
|
potential adverse tax consequences could create additional expense; and |
|
|
|
political and economic instability in certain foreign countries could limit our sales in those regions. |
SPEEDCOM has a history of losses and may never achieve or sustain profitability.
SPEEDCOM has incurred significant losses since its inception, and expects to continue to incur net losses through at least 2002. SPEEDCOM intends to increase its operating
expenses, however revenues may not grow or even continue at their current level. If revenues do not rapidly increase or if expenses increase at a greater pace than revenues, SPEEDCOM will never become profitable.
Our common stock price is volatile.
Our stock and the NASDAQ stock market in general have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in recent months and the market prices of technology companies have been highly volatile. In the past, following
periods of volatility in the market price of a companys securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of managements
attention.
If our common stock is delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, it may be more difficult to sell shares of our common
stock.
Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. On July 31, 2002, the closing sale
price of our common stock was $0.12 per share. We have been warned that certain standards for continued listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market have not been met relating to our share price. On February 14, 2002, NASDAQ issued a warning letter giving
a 180 day grace period to SPEEDCOM to regain compliance. Delisting from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market could result in a less liquid market for our common stock than would otherwise exist. As a result, our shares may be more difficult to sell because
potentially smaller quantities of shares could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed and security analyst and news coverage of our
21
company may be reduced. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask
prices for our shares.
We are obligated to issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock upon conversion of preferred
stock and exercise of warrants that are outstanding.
If the preferred stock securityholders elect to convert
their preferred stock and exercise their warrants in order to sell the underlying shares of common stock, it will substantially increase the number of SPEEDCOMs shares of common stock outstanding. The exercise or conversion of a substantial
number of SPEEDCOMs convertible securities may depress the market price of the common stock and will decrease the relative voting power of existing common stock securityholders. Should a significant number of SPEEDCOMs convertible
securities be exercised or converted, the resulting increase in the amount of the common stock in the public market could have a substantial dilutive effect on SPEEDCOMs outstanding common stock. Public resales of our common stock following
the exercise or conversion of the securities may depress the prevailing market price of our common stock.
Under
the anti-dilution provisions of the preferred stock, if SPEEDCOM issues common stock or common stock equivalents at a purchase price, conversion price or warrant or option exercise price that is less than the current preferred stock conversion price
of $1.125 per share, the conversion price of the preferred stock will be reduced using a customary weighted average basis formula. Under the anti-dilution provisions of warrants issued in August 2001, (1) the exercise price will be lowered to equal
the purchase price, conversion price or warrant or option exercise price for any common stock or common stock equivalents issued (other than to employees) at a purchase price, conversion price or warrant or option exercise price less than the
current per share exercise price of the applicable warrants ($2.50 in the case of Series A Warrants and $0.01 in the case of Series B Warrants), and (2) the number of warrants will be increased by the same percentage as the percentage by which the
exercise price is reduced. Alternatively, (1) the exercise price will be reduced by the percentage by which the purchase price, conversion price or warrant or option exercise price of any issued security (others than to employees) is less than the
current market price of the common stock, and (2) the number of warrants will be increased by the same percentage as the percentage by which the exercise price is reduced, if this formula results in a lower exercise price than the adjustment
described in the preceding sentence. Similar anti-dilution provisions apply to warrants to acquire 513,333 shares at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.
Our manufacturing capabilities are limited and could prevent us from keeping up with customer demand.
SPEEDCOM has no experience in large-scale manufacturing. If our customers were to place orders substantially greater than current levels, SPEEDCOMs present manufacturing abilities may not be adequate to meet such
demand. There can be no assurance that we will be able to contract additional manufacturing personnel on a timely basis.
22
Our concentrated ownership structure means that our two controlling common shareholders can control
the outcome of any shareholder vote.
Michael W. McKinney and Barbara McKinney currently control a majority of
SPEEDCOMs common stock. Therefore, certain corporate actions, which the Board of Directors may deem advisable for the shareholders of SPEEDCOM as a whole, may not be approved by the common shareholders if submitted to a vote, unless Michael W.
McKinney and Barbara McKinney approve the action.
SPEEDCOM is subject to extensive and unpredictable government regulation, which
could make our products obsolete, raise our development costs and create opportunities for other competitors.
SPEEDCOM is subject to various FCC rules and regulations in the United States and to other government regulations abroad. There can be no assurance that new FCC regulations will not be promulgated or that existing regulations outside
of the United States would not adversely affect international marketing of SPEEDCOMs products.
Regulatory
changes, including changes in the allocation of available frequency spectrum, could significantly impact operations by restricting development efforts, rendering current products obsolete or increasing the opportunity for additional competition. In
September 1993 and in February 1995, the FCC allocated additional spectrum for personal communications services. In January 1997, the FCC authorized 300 MHz of additional unlicensed frequencies in the 5 Gigahertz frequency range. In 2000, the FCC
modified the rules for frequency hopping spread spectrum radios to allow greater power utilization in certain circumstances. These changes in the allocation of available frequency spectrum could create opportunities for other wireless
networking products and services or shift the competitive balance between SPEEDCOM and its competitors.
