INFRAX SYSTEMS, INC. – 10-K/A – Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
| Edgar Online, Inc. |
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements. However, certain accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management; as a result they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on knowledge of our industry, historical operations, terms of existing contracts, and our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
As more fully described in "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES", we had approximately

We are currently in ongoing discussions, arrangements, understandings, commitments or agreements for additional funding with two firms. In this endeavor, we will consider equity funding, either or both of a private sale or a registered public offering of our common stock; however, it seems unlikely that we can obtain an underwriter. We will consider a joint venture in which the joint venture partner provides funding to the enterprise. We will consider debt financing, both unsecured and secured by a pledge of our technology. As noted previously, we our intermediary funding is provided through our line of credit arrangement with
Our Marketing Plan
The first phase in our plan of operations, subject to adequate funding, will be implementation of our sales and marketing plan. We plan to initially select several resource constrained small to mid-sized utilities to function as beta test sites for our Secure Intelligent Energy Platform. We are currently working with one mid-sized utility during the design phase of product development. We will also be targeting utilities for the immediate deployment of our "Smart Grid Ready" wireless products in preparation of the completion and launch of our SIEP.
While we have also been in discussions with several other global meter manufacturers regarding the inclusion of the SNIC and GridMesh into their AMI meters, we believe that Itron's dominant market position and the strength of our relationship will drive the results required to meet our business objectives.
Additionally, during this stage we will continue to design and implement wireless networks in developing countries in continuation of the former Trimax Wireless strategy. In parallel with this activity we plan to continue to target wireless ISP's and carriers, offering our current wireless voice and data communications products.
We may explore the opportunities to locate local and regionally based companies in emerging markets with existing relationships with the key decision makers in
Our Smart Grid products are in the late stages of development and we anticipate delivering prototype solutions to our targeted beta customers by the end of the 1 st quarter of 2012. We have budgeted
We anticipate that as funding is received, of which there is no assurance, and we will begin hiring the appropriate technical staff that will be able to handle support requirements for this market segment. We anticipate a need for up to forty-four employees by the end of the first year of full operation after funding. The number of employees we hire during the next twelve months will depend upon the level of funding and sales achieved.

To support our activities and provide the initial sales and support for entry into the Utility marketplace, as noted above, we will require an initial investment of approximately

We anticipate that, depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we may not be able to generate enough gross profit from our sales and services to cover our operating expenses and increased sales and marketing efforts. Consequently, there remains doubt about the Company's future and sustained profitability.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation's reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration. Those standards have been addressed in the notes to the audited financial statement and in our Annual Report, filed on this Form 10-K.
- 23 - Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are presented in the Company's notes to financial statements for the period ended
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for various services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is measurable more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as special purpose entities or variable interest entities, which have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other limited purposes.

Management Consideration of Alternative Business Strategies
In order to continue to protect and increase shareholder value management believes that it may, from time to time, consider alternative management strategies to create value for the company or additional revenues. Strategies to be reviewed may include acquisitions; roll-ups; strategic alliances; joint ventures on large projects; and/or mergers.
The Company is currently in merger or acquisition negotiations with entities which management believes to be key components of the Smart Grid solutions we envision. Management believes that acquisitions will be a catalyst for advancing the Company's existing technology to attain greater market share. We are currently in valuation negotiations with the targeted companies; acquisitions will be primarily share exchanges. Additionally, we are seeking capital financing for the purposes of furthering our plan of operations. These negotiations have not advanced, at this point, to an issuance of a letter of intent; however management believes this ongoing strategy will best serve existing shareholders.
The Company has been approached as a potential target for acquisition. Preliminary discussions were brought to the attention of the Board of Directors. Although negotiations have not advanced, we believe that those discussions were validation of our technology. Management and the Board of Directors are aware of our position and potential of our technology and will consider any offer that increases shareholder value.
Management will only consider these options where it believes the result would be to increase shareholder value while continuing the viability of the company.
