NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business and Basis of Presentation

Digital Lightwave, Inc. provides the global fiber-optic communications industry with products and technology used to develop, install, maintain, monitor and manage fiber-optic communication networks. Telecommunications service providers, owners of private networks (utilities, government and large enterprises) and equipment manufacturers deploy the Company’s products to provide quality assurance and ensure optimum performance of advanced optical communications networks and network equipment. The Company’s products are sold worldwide to telecommunications service providers, owners of private networks (utilities, government and large enterprises), telecommunications equipment manufacturers, equipment leasing companies and international distributors. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are Digital Lightwave (UK) Limited (“DLL”), Digital Lightwave Asia Pacific Pty, Ltd. (“DLAP”), and Digital Lightwave Latino Americana Ltda. (“DLLA”). DLL, DLAP, and DLLA provided international sales support, but are currently inactive. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Digital Lightwave, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Digital Lightwave,” “us,” “we,” “our,” etc.) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results of operations for the three- and six -months ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Operational Matters

On April 4, 2008, the Company and Optel Capital, LLC (“Optel”) entered into a Credit and Restructuring Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which (a) the Company’s existing indebtedness owed to Optel, consisting of approximately $28.0 million of principal, which bore interest at 10% per annum, and accrued interest thereon of approximately $7.7 million, all of which was due and payable upon demand by Optel, was restructured and (b) Optel agreed to make a $2.5 million revolving credit facility available to the Company. Optel is controlled by Dr. Bryan J. Zwan, the Company’s largest stockholder and chairman of the board of directors. The Credit Agreement was approved by the Company’s board of directors upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the board comprised solely of independent directors.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the restructured indebtedness is evidenced by a new secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $35.7 million (the “Restated Note”), and the revolving credit facility is evidenced by an additional secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2.5 million (the “New Commitment Note” and, together with the Restated Note, the “Notes”). As of June 30, 2009, the principal balances of the Restated Note and New Commitment Note were $35.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum and are secured by substantially all the Company’s assets pursuant to an amended and restated security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). Each of the Notes requires quarterly payments of interest commencing on June 30, 2008, and matures on March 31, 2010.

All the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of Optel at any time following approval of the conversion feature by the disinterested stockholders at a conversion price based on the average trading price of the stock during the five-day period preceding the date of any conversion. The Company and Optel have made it a condition to the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes becoming convertible, that the conversion feature be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company who are not affiliated with Optel or any of its affiliates at the Company’s 2009 annual meeting of stockholders. If such holders do not approve the conversion feature, the outstanding debt and accrued interest would immediately become due and payable in full upon demand by Optel at any time after the stockholders’ meeting. The Company has not yet held its 2009 annual meeting of stockholders.

On March 26, 2009 and March 30, 2009, the Company borrowed $200,000 and $225,000, respectively from Optel to fund its working capital requirements. The loans were made outside the Credit Agreement and are evidenced by secured promissory notes that bear interest at 10.0% per annum and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. Principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under the secured promissory note is due and payable upon demand by Optel at any time after May 31, 2009; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of the loans, together with accrued but unpaid interest, shall become immediately due and payable upon demand by Optel at any time on or following the occurrence certain events as defined by the notes.

On June 25, 2009, June 29, 2009 and July 22, 2009, the Company borrowed $75,000, $213,000 and $350,000, respectively from Optel to fund its working capital requirements. The loans were made outside the Credit Agreement and are evidenced by secured promissory notes that bear interest at 10.0% per annum and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. Principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under the secured promissory note is due and payable upon demand by Optel at any time after August 30, 2009 for the June Notes and September 30, 2009 for the July Note; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of the loans, together with accrued but unpaid interest, shall become immediately due and payable upon demand by Optel at any time on or following the occurrence certain events as defined by the Notes.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. While the Company has been exploring alternative financing to raise additional funding, it has not identified a funding source other than Optel that would be willing to provide current or future financing. In the future, if the Company issues additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of the existing stockholders would be diluted, and the new investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. Additional debt incurred by the Company would be senior to equity with respect to the ability of the debt holders to make claims on the assets. In addition, the terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on the Company’s operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short- or long-term capital requirements, the Company may be required to curtail operations significantly or to seek funds through arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require the Company to relinquish material rights to certain of its products, technologies or potential markets, or may be forced to seek protection under bankruptcy laws. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to obtain adequate financing which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Accrued Warranty

The Company provides the customer a warranty with each product sold. The Company’s policy for product warranties is to review the warranty reserve on a quarterly basis for specifically identified or new matters and review the reserve for estimated future costs associated with any open warranty years. The reserve is an estimate based on historical trends, the number of products under warranty, the costs of replacement parts and the expected reliability of the Company’s products. A change in these factors could result in a change in the reserve balance. Warranty costs are charged against the accrual when incurred. The reconciliation of the warranty reserve is as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008
	(In thousands)
Beginning balance	$	352		$	444
Warranty provision		32			33
Warranty costs		(51	)		(62	)

Ending balance	$	333		$	415


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008
	(In thousands)
Beginning balance	$	338		$	471
Warranty provision		155			83
Warranty costs		(160	)		(139	)

Ending balance	$	333		$	415

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue principally from product sales. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

For all sales, the Company uses a binding purchase order as evidence that a sales arrangement exists. Sales through international distributors are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship with the distributor. The Company either obtains an end-user purchase order documenting the order placed with the distributor or proof of delivery to the end user as evidence that a sales arrangement exists. For demonstration units sold to distributors, the distributor’s binding purchase order is evidence of a sales arrangement.

For domestic sales, delivery generally occurs when product is delivered to a common carrier. Demonstration units sold to international distributors are considered delivered when the units are delivered to a common carrier. An allowance is provided for sales returns based on historical experience.

For sales made under an OEM arrangement, delivery generally occurs when the product is delivered to a common carrier. OEM sales are defined as sales of the Company’s products to a third party that will market the products under their brand.

The Company sells extended warranty contracts. Revenue is recognized over the period of the extended warranty after the expiration of the initial warranty. In 2007 the Company began selling software maintenance agreements for its NIC product line. These agreements extend the software maintenance period two or three years from the expiration of the initial software maintenance period provided with each unit sold. Revenue from these contracts is recognized on a monthly basis beginning after the initial period has expired. The Company provides one year of free software maintenance for each NIC product sale. Maintenance revenue is amortized quarterly during the free software maintenance period.

For trade-in sales, including both Company and competitor products, that have a cash component of greater than 25% of the fair value of the sale, the Company recognizes revenue based upon the fair value of what is sold or received, whichever is more readily determinable, if the Company has demonstrated the ability to sell its trade-in inventory for that particular product class. Otherwise, the Company accounts for the trade-in sale as a non-monetary transaction and follows the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 153 Exchanges of Non- monetary Assets and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions and related interpretations. Revenue and cost of sales are recorded based upon the cash portion of the transaction. The remaining costs associated with the new units are assigned to the units received on trade. When the trade-in units are resold, revenue is recorded based upon the sales price and cost of goods sold is charged with the value assigned to trade-in units from the original transaction.

At the time of the transaction, the Company assesses whether the price associated with its revenue transactions is fixed and determinable and whether or not collection is reasonably assured. The Company assesses whether the price is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Standard payment terms for domestic customers are 30 days from the invoice date. Distributor contracts provide standard payment terms of 60 days from the invoice date. Generally, the Company does not offer extended payment terms.

The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. Collateral is not requested from customers. If it is determined collectability is not reasonably assured at the time of the sale, revenue is recognized at the time collection becomes reasonably assured.

Most sales arrangements do not include acceptance clauses. However, if a sales arrangement includes an acceptance provision, acceptance occurs upon the earlier of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.

Computation of Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, diluted loss per share does not include the effect of incremental shares from common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method, as the inclusion of such equivalents would be anti-dilutive. There were no incremental shares from common stock equivalents for the three- and six-month periods ended June 20, 2009 and 2008. Total outstanding stock options of 1,950,000 shares for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 were excluded from the computation, as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive. Total outstanding stock options of 2,506,000 shares for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 were excluded from the computation, as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive. The table below presents the basic weighted average common shares outstanding and the incremental number of shares arising from common stock equivalents under the treasury stock method:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2009	2008
Basic:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	255,489,847	255,489,006
Diluted:
Incremental shares for common stock equivalents	—	—

Total dilutive	255,489,847	255,489,006


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009	2008
Basic:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	255,489,847	255,486,584
Diluted:
Incremental shares for common stock equivalents	—	—

Total dilutive	255,489,847	255,486,584

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation was $0 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009. The Company’s cost for stock based employee compensation was $600 and $1,600 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008.

The expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company has not historically paid any dividends on its common stock and does not expect to in the future.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has one stock option plan with 10,037,214 shares available for grant as of June 30, 2009 as follows:


	Plan 2001
Minimum exercise price as a percentage of fair market value at date of grant	100	%
Plan termination date	December 31, 2011

Options granted under the plan have a term of six years. Option grants generally vest in one-third annual increments or quarterly over a three-year period, with the exception of certain option agreements that provide for various vesting schedules throughout the same three-year vesting period or options allowing vesting acceleration based on certain performance milestones on each anniversary of the grant date, commencing with the first anniversary. The Company recognizes compensation costs for these awards on a straight-line basis over the service period.

The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding options for the six months ended June 30, 2009:


	Shares (In thousands)		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2008	2,100		$	1.56	$	0
Granted	—			—		—
Exercised	—			—		—
Forfeited and expired	(150	)	$	1.28	$	0


Outstanding at June 30, 2009	1,950		$	1.59	$	0


Exercisable at end of period	1,950		$	1.59	$	0

There were no stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses for all periods presented. No interest or penalties have been recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. The Company must determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS 109.

Based on the analysis performed, the Company did not record any unrecognized tax positions as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. There is a possibility that a limitation on the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards may have come into effect under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of cumulative stock ownership changes. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the impact of such a limitation has no impact on the accompanying financial statements since all net operating losses have a full valuation allowance; however, such a limitation could impact substantially the reported gross asset related to the net operating loss carry-forwards.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS165 provides the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 was effective for interim or annual financial periods ended after June 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively. The Company’s adoption of this statement was not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 13, 2009.

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 162). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this standard, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to be significant to its consolidated financial statements.

2. INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:


	June 30, 2009 (In thousands)		December 31, 2008 (In thousands)
Raw materials	$	3,242	$	3,425
Finished goods		11		151

	$	3,253	$	3,576

The Company has established reserves for excess and obsolete inventory based upon current and expected sales trends, the amount of parts on-hand, the market value of parts on-hand and the viability and technical obsolescence of products and components.

OVERVIEW

Executive Summary

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the restructured indebtedness is evidenced by a new secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $35.7 million (the “Restated Note”), and the revolving credit facility is evidenced by an additional secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2.5 million (the “New Commitment Note” and, together with the Restated Note, the “Notes”). As of June 30, 2009, the balance of the Restated Note and New Commitment Note was $35.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum and are secured by substantially all the Company’s assets pursuant to an amended and restated security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). Each of the Notes requires quarterly payments of interest commencing on June 30, 2008, and matures on March 31, 2010.

On June 25, 2009, June 29, 2009 and July 22, 2009, the Company borrowed $75,000, $213,000 and $350,000, respectively, from Optel to fund its working capital requirements. The loans were made outside the Credit Agreement and are evidenced by secured promissory notes that bear interest at 10.0% per annum and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. Principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under the secured promissory note is due and payable upon demand by Optel at any time after August 30, 2009 on the June Notes and September 30, 2009 for the July Note; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of the loans, together with accrued but unpaid interest, shall become immediately due and payable upon demand by Optel at any time on or following the occurrence certain events as defined by the notes.

The Company designs and manufactures its products in portable and rack mountable form factors to serve varied customer types. Portable products are lightweight, self-contained test instruments that are used for field applications such as network diagnostics, maintenance and troubleshooting. The Company provides the same technologies in a rack-mountable product offering, designed for deployment at key points throughout the network, namely at central offices, data centers, and co-location facilities. The rack-mounted equipment provides for remote monitoring from a centralized network management console residing at the service providers’ network operations center. Having remotely deployed equipment allows service providers to monitor and manage their network on a full-time basis, thereby optimizing labor resources and minimizing the time and expense of diagnosis and resolution of network emergencies and repairs.

The Company’s products are also applicable to laboratory and manufacturing applications. Network equipment manufacturers use our products during the research and development phase to ensure new equipment performs to designed specifications and conforms to international standards. Service providers and private network operators use our products in

the laboratory environment to confirm network equipment functionality, compatibility and conformance to international standards. The Company’s products are also used to confirm functionality as part of the manufacturing process for network equipment providers throughout the world.

The Company’s net sales are generated from sales of its products less an estimate for customer returns. We expect that the average selling price (“ASP”) of our products will fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including market demand, product configuration, potential volume discounts to customers, the timing of new product introductions and enhancements and the introduction of competitive products. Because the cost of goods sold tends to remain relatively stable for any given product, fluctuations in the ASP may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, two customers accounted for, in the aggregate, approximately 23% of total net sales. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of net sales.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. When selling through a distributor to an end-user customer, we either obtain an end-user purchase order documenting the order placed with the distributor or proof of delivery to the end-user as evidence that a sales arrangement exists. No revenue is recognized on products shipped on a trial basis. We believe that our accrued warranty reserve is sufficient to meet our responsibilities for potential future warranty work on products sold.

The Company has not entered into long-term agreements or blanket purchase orders for the sale of its products and, accordingly, does not carry substantial backlog from quarter to quarter. Our sales during a particular quarter are highly dependent upon orders placed by customers during that period. Most of our operating expenses are fixed and cannot be easily reduced in response to decreased revenues. Variations in the timing of revenues could cause significant variations in results of operations from quarter to quarter and result in continuing quarterly losses. The deferral of any large order from one quarter to another would negatively affect the results of operations for the earlier quarter. The Company must obtain orders during each quarter for shipment in that quarter to achieve revenue and profit objectives.

In order to maintain our market share, we are focused on maintaining technological leadership with our product lines. We have evaluated our sales efforts to identify opportunities where our account presence can be improved and are working to exploit those opportunities. Subject to resolution of our working capital constraints, we are seeking new applications for our installed product base to be realized with use of new modular add-ons and enhancements. We also established channel partners such as independent sales representatives and distributors to complement our sales force.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We believe that estimating asset valuation allowances and accrued liabilities are critical in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and they require difficult, subjective and complex judgments that are often the result of estimates that are inherently uncertain. Specifically, we believe the following estimates to be critical:

•

sales returns and other allowances;

•

reserve for uncollectible accounts;

•

reserve for excess and obsolete inventory;

•

assessments of uncertain tax positions;

•

impairment of long-lived assets;

•

deferred tax valuation allowance; and

•

warranty reserve.

We make significant judgments and estimates and assumptions in connection with establishing the above-mentioned asset valuation allowances and accrued liabilities. If we made different judgments or used different estimates or assumptions for establishing such amounts, it is likely that the amount and timing of our revenue or operating expenses for any period would be materially different.

We derive our revenues principally from product sales. We recognize revenue from the sale of products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We estimate the amount of potential future product returns related to current period product revenue. We consider many factors when making our estimates, including analyzing historical returns, current economic trends, changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products to evaluate the adequacy of the sales returns and other allowances. As of June 30, 2009, a review of the amount of potential future product returns indicated no allowance was required.

We also estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable. We consider many factors when making our estimates, including analyzing accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for uncollectible accounts. As of June 30, 2009, our accounts receivable balance was $1.2 million, net of our estimated reserve for uncollectible accounts of approximately $76,000.

We estimate the amount of excess and obsolete inventory and lower of cost or market adjustments. We consider many factors when making our estimates, including analyzing current and expected sales trends, the amount of current parts on hand, the current market value of parts on hand and the viability and technical obsolescence of our products. The assumptions made relative to expected sales trends are subjective in nature and have a material impact on the estimate of the reserve requirement. Should future sales trends, in total or by product line, fluctuate from that used in our estimates, this reserve could be overstated or understated. Our inventory balance was $3.3 million as of June 30, 2009, net of our estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory and lower of cost or market adjustments of approximately $13.9 million.

We estimate the impairment of long-lived assets. We monitor events and changes in circumstances that indicate whether carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. These events and circumstances include decrease in market price of a long-lived asset, change in the manner in which a long-lived asset is used, changes in legal factors and a current-period operating loss or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating losses or cash flow losses or a forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of long-lived assets. When such an event or changes in circumstances occur, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. We recognize impairment when there is an excess of the assets carrying value over the fair value as estimated using a discounted expected future cash flows model. In estimating undiscounted expected future cash flows, we must make judgments and estimates related to future sales and profitability. Should future sales trends or profitability be significantly less than that forecasted, our impairment could be understated. We could be required to take an additional impairment charge in the future should our actual cash flows be less than forecasted.

We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We provide for a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets when we conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We estimate the amount of our warranty reserve. We consider many factors when making our estimate, including historical trends, the number of products under warranty, the costs of replacement parts and the expected reliability of our products. We believe that our accrued warranty reserve is sufficient to meet our responsibilities for potential future warranty work on products sold. Our accrued warranty reserve as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $333,000.

Engineering and Development

Engineering and development expenses principally include salaries for engineering and development personnel, outside consulting fees and other development expenses. Engineering and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, decreased by approximately $46,000 to $497,000, or 31% of net sales, from approximately $543,000, or 25% of net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Engineering and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009, decreased by approximately $57,000 to $1.0 million, or 27% of net sales, from approximately $1.1 million, or 22% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses principally include salaries, commissions, travel, tradeshows and promotional materials and warranty expenses.

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in travel expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses, which remained relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were $1.3 million, or 34% net of sales, an increase of approximately $28,000 compared with $1.2 million, or 26% net of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses principally include salaries, other compensation, professional fees, facility rentals and information systems related to general management functions. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, decreased by approximately $135,000 to $179,000, or 11% of net sales, from approximately $314,000, or 14% of net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decrease reflects a reduction in accounting fees and insurance costs.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009, decreased by approximately $74,000 to $490,000, or 13% net of sales, from approximately $564,000, or 12% net of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On April 4, 2008, the Company and Optel entered into the Credit Agreement pursuant to which (a) the Company’s existing indebtedness owed to Optel, consisting of approximately $28.0 million of principal, which bore interest at 10% per annum, and accrued interest thereon of approximately $7.7 million, all of which was due and payable upon demand by Optel, was restructured and (b) Optel agreed to make a $2.5 million revolving credit facility available to the Company. Optel is controlled by Dr. Bryan J. Zwan, the Company’s largest stockholder and chairman of the board of directors. The Credit Agreement was approved by the Company’s board of directors upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the board comprised solely of independent directors.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the restructured indebtedness is evidenced by the Restated Note and the revolving credit facility is evidenced by the New Commitment Note. As of March 9, 2009, the balance of the Restated Note and New Commitment Note was $35.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum and are secured by substantially all the Company’s assets pursuant to the Security Agreement. From April 4, 2008 through March 31, 2009, interest expense related to the Notes was approximately $1.3 million and recorded in other expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Each of the Notes requires quarterly payments of interest commencing on June 30, 2008, and matures on March 31, 2010. Interest payments of approximately $465,000 and $231,000, and $213,000 were made January 5, 2009, March 31, 2009 and June 29, 2009, respectively.

The Company’s ability to meet cash requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity over the next 12 months is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing from funding sources which may include, but may not be limited to, Optel. Optel currently is and continues to be the principal source of financing for the Company. The Company has not identified any funding source other than Optel that would be prepared to provide current or future financing to the Company. If the Company is not able to obtain additional financing, it expects that it will not have sufficient cash to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the near term and will not have the resources required for the payment of its current liabilities when they become due. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to obtain adequate financing, that it will achieve profitability or, if it achieves profitability that the profitability will be sustainable or that it will continue as a going concern.

On June 25, 2009, June 29, 2009 and July 22, 2009, the Company borrowed $75,000, $213,000 and $350,000, respectively from Optel to fund its working capital requirements. The loans were made outside the Credit Agreement and are evidenced by secured promissory notes that bear interest at 10.0% per annum and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. Principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under the secured promissory note is due and payable upon demand by Optel at any time after August 30, 2009 on the June Notes and September 30, 2009 for the July Note; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of the loans, together with accrued but unpaid interest, shall become immediately due and payable upon demand by Optel at any time on or following the occurrence certain events as defined by the Notes.

Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $1.6 million. This was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $560,000, a decrease in accounts payable of $818,000 and an operating loss of $1.7 million.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off balance sheet arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Investing Activities

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to sales of trade show fixed assets provided net cash of $12,000.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.7 million for additional financing provided by Optel, LLC and Optel Capital, LLC.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are not exposed to material fluctuations in currency exchange rates because the majority of our sales and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2009, the related party notes have an interest rate based upon LIBOR. As of June 30, 2009, a 1% change in LIBOR would have a $382,000 impact on interest expense annually.

Item 4(T).

Controls and Procedures.
