NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S.
dollars in thousands, except share and per share
data
Digital
Power Corporation ("the Company" or "DPC") was incorporated in 1969, under
the
General Corporation Law of the state of California. The Company has a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Power Limited ("DPL"), located in the United
Kingdom. The Company and its subsidiary are currently engaged in the design,
manufacture, sale and distribution of switching power supplies and converters.
The Company has two reportable geographic segments - North America (sales

NOTE
2:-
|
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
a.
|
The
significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements
of the Company as of December 31, 2007, are applied consistently
in these
financial statements. In addition, the following accounting policy
is
applied:
|
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2008,
and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited and reflect
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are,
in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's
discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations,
contained in the Company Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the six months ended June
30,
2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year
ending December 31, 2008.
|
b.
|
Accounting
for stock-based compensation:
|
The
Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described
more fully in Note 4. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair
value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment"
("SFAS 123(R)"),
using the modified-prospective-transition method.
The
Company and its subsidiary apply SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No.
96-18 "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees
for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" ("EITF
96-18"), with respect to options issued to non-employees. SFAS 123 requires
use
of an option valuation model to measure the fair value of the options at the
grant date.

ACCOUNTING
FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
(Cont.)
|
Under
the
provisions of SFAS 123(R), the fair value of each option is estimated on the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the
assumptions such as stock price on the date of the grant, exercise price,
risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected life and expected
dividend yield of the option. Because Black-Scholes option valuation models
incorporate various judgmental assumptions for inputs, as described above.
Expected volatility is based exclusively on historical volatility of the
entity's stock as allowed by SFAS 123(R). The Company uses historical
information with respect to the employee options exercised to estimate the
expected term of options granted, representing the period of time that options
granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate of period
within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield
curve in effect at the time of grant.
No
options were granted during the first six months of 2008.
As
of
June 30, 2008, there was $ 113 of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans.
That
cost is expected to be recognized over a period of two years.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION
|
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
quarterly report contains forward-looking statements regarding future events
and
our future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements
other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our expectations,
beliefs, forecasts, intentions and future strategies and are signified by the
words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes" or similar language.
In
addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial
performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our business, and other
characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are
subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict,
including those identified below, under “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and
elsewhere in this report. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and
adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report are based on
information available to us on the date of this report and speak only as of
the
date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.
In
this
quarterly report, the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Digital Power
Corporation, a California corporation, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital
Power Limited.
GENERAL
We
are
engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling switching power
supplies to the industrial, telecommunications, data communications, medical
and
military industries. Revenues are generated from sales to distributors and
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in North America and
Europe.
We
have
continued our efforts to develop advanced power products, to increase sales
to
existing and new customers, and to seek to manufacture our products in Asia
and
other strategic locations. While we believe our revenues have increased to
a
sufficient amount to offset our expenses, we may be subject to net losses in
any
individual quarter. We believe that our cash will be sufficient to fund any
losses for at least 12 months.
Our
corporate office, which contains our administrative, sales, and engineering
functions, is located in Fremont, California (“DPC”). In addition, we have a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Power Limited (“DPL”), which is located in
Salisbury, United Kingdom and does business as Gresham Power Electronics. DPL
designs, manufactures and sells switching power supply products for the European
market place, including power conversion products for naval and military
applications and DC/AC inverters for the telecommunications
industry.
THREE
AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008, COMPARED TO JUNE 30,
2007
Revenues
Our
revenues increased by 32.0% to $3,347,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2008, from $2,536,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase
in
revenues is mainly attributed to an increase of sales of our commercial
products, particularly our high density product lines and products customized
for particular customer applications. The increase in revenues from our
commercial products during this period increased by 51.0% to $2,375,000 for
the
three months ended June 30, 2008, from $1,573,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. Revenue from sales of our military products increased slightly
by
0.9% to $972,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $963,000 for
the
three months ended June 30, 2007.
Revenues
from our U.S. operations increased by 13.1% to $1,257,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2008, from $1,111,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Revenues from our European operations of DPL increased 46.7% to $2,090,000
for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $1,425,000 for the three months
ended
June 30, 2007. The increases in our revenues from our U.S. and European
operations are mainly attributed to an increase in sales of our commercial
products, as discussed above.
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2008, our revenues increased by 23.5% to $6,516,000,
from $5,278,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Revenues from our
commercial products increased by 35.5% to $4,868,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, from $3,592,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Revenues
from our military products decreased by 2.3% to $1,648,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2008, from $1,686,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The
overall increase in revenues is mainly attributed to an increase in sales of
our
commercial products, as discussed above.
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2008, revenues attributed to our U.S. operations
increased by 4.0% to $2,406,000 from $2,314,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2007. The increase in product revenue is mainly attributed to an increase
in
sales of our military products, offset partially by a decrease in sales of
our
older product lines. Revenues from our European operations of DPL increased
by
38.7% to $4,110,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $2,964,000
for
the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in revenues is mainly
attributed to increases in sales of our commercial products, as discussed
above.
Gross
Margins
Gross
margins increased to 25.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared
to
22.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The lower gross margin for
the
three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to a write-off charge of
$140,000 for obsolete inventory in our European operations. Gross margins for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 were 25.8% and were essentially flat compared
to the gross margin of 25.4% for the six months ended June 30,
2007.
Engineering
and Product Development
Engineering
and product development expenses were $142,000, or 4.2% of revenues, for the
three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $181,000, or 7.1% of revenues
for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower
salary and consulting expenses, including the cessation of consulting fees
being
paid on a project that had been completed. Engineering and product development
expenses were $302,000, or 4.6% of revenues, for the six months ended June
30,
2008, compared to $402,000, or 7.6% of revenues, for the six months ended June
30, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in revenues from
quarter to quarter, coupled with decreases in salary and consulting expenses
described above.
Selling
and Marketing
Selling
and marketing expenses were $190,000, or 5.7% of revenues, for the three months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to $249,000, or 9.8% of revenues, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in
salary and consulting expenses as a result of a decline in the number of our
sales employees and consultants. We are currently seeking replacement personnel.
Selling and marketing expenses were $460,000, or 7.1% of revenues, for the
six
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $478,000, or 9.1% or revenues, for
the
six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to the increase
in revenues and, as discussed above, a lower headcount in sales employees and
consultants.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses were $321,000, or 9.6% of revenues, for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $334,000, or 13.2% or revenues, for
the
three months ended June 30, 2007. General and administrative expenses were
$880,000, or 13.5% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared
to $634,000, or 12.0% or revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Expenditures increased in 2008 by $246,000 mainly due to the accrual of
liabilities in relation to the separation agreement with our former President
and Chief Executive Officer.
Financial
Income
Financial
income was $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to
financial income of $13,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Financial
income was $13,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to financial
income of $29,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in
financial income was due to primarily lower interest rates.
Net
Income (Loss)
For
the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had net income of $215,000 compared to
a
net loss of $196,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase
in
net income is due to primarily an increase in revenues, coupled with a slight
decrease in operating expenses. Net income for the six months ended June 30,
2008 was $54,000 compared to a net loss of $155,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The increase in net income is due to primarily an increase in
revenues.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On
June
30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,564,000 and working capital
of
$3,655,000. This compares with cash and cash equivalents of $1,427,000 and
working capital of $3,254,000 at June 30, 2007. The increase in working capital
is mainly due to increases in cash, accounts receivable, offset partially by
increase in other accrued liabilities, accounts payable and related parties
trade payables, and deceases in inventory, prepaid expenses and other
receivables.
Cash
provided by operating activities totaled $123,000 for the six months ended
June
30, 2008, compared to cash used in operating activities of $72,000 for the
six
months ended June 30, 2007. An increase in cash flow from operating activities
was mainly due to an increase in net income, a decrease in inventory, and an
increase in accrued liabilities, offset partially by decreases in accounts
payable and related parties trade payables.
Net
cash
used in investing activities was $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008,
compared to net cash used in investing activities of $25,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2007. We believe we have adequate resources at this time to
continue our operational and promotional efforts to increase sales in the
electronic industry market. However, if we do not meet those goals, we may
have
to raise money through debts or equity, which may dilute shareholder's
equity.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the rules and regulations
of
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934
(the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report, have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose
in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During
the period covered by this quarterly report, there were no significant changes
in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that
have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial reporting.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
See
our
disclosures under “Legal Proceedings” in our Form 10-KSB filed March 31, 2008
and our Form 10-Q filed May 15, 2008. There has been no material development
of
those proceedings since those respective filings.
The
risk
factors listed in this section provide examples of risks, uncertainties and
events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the
expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Readers should
be
aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in these risk factors
could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.
Although
we experienced an operating profit during the six-month period ended June 30,
2008, we have historically experienced net losses and may experience net losses
in the future.
For
the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we had an operating profit of $41,000.
We
had similar operating profits for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Although we have actively taken steps to reduce our costs, we could incur losses
in the future until we increase revenues through the sale of current products
and decrease manufacturing costs through a greater use of contract manufacturers
in Asia and other strategic locations.
If
our new development efforts fail to result in products which meet our customers’
needs, or if our customers fail to accept our new products, our revenues will
be
adversely affected.
We
have
recently introduced on a limited basis our high density products. The successful
development, introduction and commercial success of reaching new market segments
providing advanced power products and introducing new products will depend
on a
number of factors, including our ability to meet customer requirements, the
existence of competitive products in the market, our ability to meet product
cost targets generating acceptable margins, timely remediation of product
performance issues, if any, identified during testing, product performance
at
customer locations, differentiation of our product from our competitors’
products, and management of customer expectations concerning product
capabilities and life cycles.
We
depend upon a few major customers for a majority of our revenues, and the loss
of any of these customers, or the substantial reduction in the products that
they purchase from us, would significantly reduce our revenues and net
income.
We
currently depend upon a few major OEMs and other customers for a significant
portion of our revenues and we expect to continue to derive a significant
portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers in the future. The
loss of any of these customers or a substantial reduction in the products that
they purchase from us would significantly reduce our revenues and net income.
Furthermore, diversions in the capital spending of certain of these customers
to
new network elements have and could continue to lead to their reduced demand
for
our products, which could in turn have a material adverse affect on our business
and results of operation. If the financial condition of one or more of our
major
customers should deteriorate, or if they have difficulty acquiring investment
capital due to any of these or other factors, a substantial decrease in our
revenues would likely result. Failure of our development efforts could adversely
affect our operations, revenues and growth.
We
are dependent on the electronic equipment and telecommunications
industries.
Substantially
all of our existing customers are in the electronic equipment and
telecommunications industries, and they manufacture products that are subject
to
rapid technological change, obsolescence, and large fluctuations in demand.
These industries are further characterized by intense competition. The OEMs
serving these markets are pressured for increased product performance and lower
product prices. OEMs, in turn, make similar demands on their suppliers, such
as
us, for increased product performance and lower prices. The telecommunication
industry is inherently volatile. Recently, certain segments of the
telecommunication and other electronic industries have experienced a significant
softening in product demand. Such lower demand may affect our customers, in
which case the demand for our products may decline and our growth could be
adversely affected.
Revenues
derived from sales of our military products are subject to military planning,
strategies and funding by U.S. and European governments and could be adversely
affected by changing government policies.
We
in
part rely on sales to customers who do business with U.S. and European
governments. Reduced funding by these governments for ongoing defense
procurement and research and development programs could result in cancelled
or
delayed contracts or lower sales of military products, all of which could
adversely affect our operations, cash flow and ability to grow.
Our
operating results may vary from quarter to quarter.
Our
operating results have in the past been subject to quarter to quarter
fluctuations, and we expect that these fluctuations will continue, and may
increase in magnitude, in future periods. Demand for our products is driven
by
many factors, including the availability of funding for our products in
customers’ budgets. There is a trend for some of our customers to place large
orders near the end of a quarter or fiscal year, in part to spend remaining
available budget funds. Seasonal fluctuations in customer demand for our
products driven by budgetary and other reasons can create corresponding
fluctuations in period-to-period revenues, and we therefore cannot assure you
that our results in one period are necessarily indicative of our revenues in
any
future period. In addition, the number and timing of large individual sales
and
the ability to obtain acceptances of those sales, where applicable, has been
difficult for us to predict, and large individual sales have, in some cases,
occurred in quarters subsequent to those we anticipated, or have not occurred
at
all. The loss or deferral of one or more significant sales in a quarter could
harm our operating results. It is possible that in some quarters our operating
results will be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors.
In such events, or in the event adverse conditions prevail, the market price
of
our common stock may decline significantly.
We
depend on Telkoor Telecom Ltd to design and manufacture many of our
products.
We
depend
on Telkoor Telecom Ltd. ("Telkoor"), our largest shareholder and one of our
third party subcontractors, for design and manufacturing capabilities for many
of the products which we sell. If Telkoor is unable or unwilling to continue
designing or manufacturing our products in required volumes on a timely basis,
that could lead to loss of sales, and adversely affect our operating results
and
cash position. We also depend on Telkoor's intellectual property and ability
to
transfer production to third party manufacturers. Failure to obtain new products
in a timely manner or delay in delivery of product to customers will have an
adverse effect on our ability to meet our customers’ expectation. In addition,
we operate in highly competitive markets where our ability to sell Telkoor’s
products could be adversely affected by long lead-times and high costs of
Telkoor’s products.
Conditions
in Israel may limit our ability to receive and sell products. This could
decrease our revenues.
Telkoor’s
principal offices, research and development, and manufacturing facilities are
located in Israel. Political, economic, and military conditions in Israel
directly affect their operations. We could be adversely affected by any major
hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between
Israel and its trading partners, a significant increase in inflation, or a
significant downturn in the economic or financial conditions of Israel.
Restrictive laws or policies directed towards Israel or Israeli businesses
could
adversely affect us.
Our
reliance on third parties to manufacture certain aspects of our products
involves risks, including delays in product shipments and reduced control over
product quality.
Since
we
do not own significant manufacturing facilities, we must rely on, and will
continue to rely on, a limited number of outside parties to manufacture parts,
components, and equipment. Our reliance upon such third party contractors
involve several risks, including reduced control over manufacturing costs,
delivery times, reliability, quality of components, unfavorable currency
exchange fluctuations, and continued inflationary pressures on many of the
raw
materials used in the manufacturing of our products. If we were to encounter
a
shortage of key manufacturing components from limited sources of supply, or
experience manufacturing delays caused by reduced manufacturing capacity,
inability of our contract manufacturers to procure raw materials, the loss
of
key assembly subcontractors, difficulties associated with the transition to
our
new contract manufacturers or other factors, we could experience lost revenues,
increased costs, delays in, cancellations or rescheduling of orders or
shipments, any of which would materially harm our business.
We
face intense industry competition, price erosion and product obsolescence,
which, in turn, could reduce our profitability.
We
operate in an industry that is generally characterized by intense competition.
We believe that the principal bases of competition in our markets are breadth
of
product line, quality of products, stability, reliability and reputation of
the
provider, along with cost. Quantity discounts, price erosion, and rapid product
obsolescence due to technological improvements are therefore common in our
industry as competitors strive to retain or expand market share. Product
obsolescence can lead to increases in unsaleable inventory that may need to
be
written off and therefore could reduce our profitability. Similarly, price
erosion can reduce our profitability by decreasing our revenues and our gross
margins. In fact, we have seen price erosion over the last several years on
most
of the products we sell, and we have factored additional price erosion into
our
forecasts.
We
depend on sales of our legacy products for a meaningful portion of our revenues,
but these products are mature and their sales will continue to decline.
A
large
portion of our sales have historically been attributable to our legacy products.
We expect that these products may continue to account for a meaningful
percentage of our revenues for the foreseeable future. However, these sales
are
declining. Although we are unable to predict future prices for our legacy
products, we expect that prices for these products will continue to be subject
to significant downward pressure in certain markets for the reasons described
above. Accordingly, our ability to maintain or increase revenues will be
dependent on our ability to expand our customer base, increase unit sales
volumes of these products and to successfully, develop, introduce and sell
new
products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to expand our customer
base,
increase unit sales volumes of existing products or develop, introduce and/or
sell new products.
The
sale of our products is dependent on our ability to respond to rapid
technological change, including evolving industry-wide standards, and may be
adversely affected by the development, and acceptance by our customers, of
new
technologies which may compete with or reduce the demand for our products.
Rapid
technological change, including evolving industry standards, could render our
products obsolete. To the extent our customers adopt such new technology in
place of our products, the sales of our products may be adversely affected.
Such
competition may also increase pricing pressure for our products and adversely
affect the revenues from such products.
The
sale of our products is dependent upon our ability to satisfy the proprietary
requirements of our customers.
We
depend
upon a relatively narrow range of products for the majority of our revenue.
Our
success in marketing our products is dependent upon their continued acceptance
by our customers. In some cases, our customers require that our products meet
their own proprietary requirements. If we are unable to satisfy such
requirements, or forecast and adapt to changes in such requirements, our
business could be materially harmed.
If
we are unable to satisfy our customers’ specific product quality, certification
or network requirements, our business could be disrupted and our financial
condition could be harmed.
Our
customers demand that our products meet stringent quality, performance and
reliability standards. We have, from time to time, experienced problems in
satisfying such standards. Defects or failures have in the past, and may in
the
future occur relating to our product quality, performance and reliability.
From
time to time, our customers also require us to implement specific changes to
our
products to allow these products to operate within their specific network
configurations. If we are unable to remedy these failures or defects or if
we
cannot affect such required product modifications, we could experience lost
revenues, increased costs, including inventory write-offs, warranty expense
and
costs associated with customer support, delays in or cancellations or
rescheduling of orders or shipments and product returns or discounts, any of
which would harm our business.
If
we ship products that contain defects, the market acceptance of our products
and
our reputation will be harmed and our customers could seek to recover their
damages from us.
Our
products are complex, and despite extensive testing, may contain defects or
undetected errors or failures that may become apparent only after our products
have been shipped to our customers and installed in their network or after
product features or new versions are released. Any such defect, error or failure
could result in failure of market acceptance of our products or damage to our
reputation or relations with our customers, resulting in substantial costs
for
both us and our customers as well as the cancellation of orders, warranty costs
and product returns. In addition, any defects, errors, misuse of our products
or
other potential problems within or out of our control that may arise from the
use of our products could result in financial or other damages to our customers.
Our customers could seek to have us pay for these losses. Although we maintain
product liability insurance, it may not be adequate.
Our
future results are dependent on our ability to establish, maintain and expand
our distribution channels and our existing third-party distributors.
We
market
and sell our products through domestic and international OEM relationships.
Our
future results are dependent on our ability to establish, maintain and expand
third party relationships with OEM as well as other marketing and sales
distribution channels. If, however, the third parties with whom we have entered
into such OEM and other arrangements should fail to meet their contractual
obligations, cease doing, or reduce the amount of their business with us or
otherwise fail to meet their own performance objectives, customer demand for
our
products could be adversely affected, which would have an adverse effect on
our
revenues.
We
may not be able to procure necessary key components for our products, or we
may
purchase too much inventory or the wrong inventory.
The
power
supply industry, and the electronics industry as a whole, can be subject to
business cycles. During periods of growth, key components required to build
our
products may become unavailable in the timeframe required for us to meet our
customers’ demands. Our inability to secure sufficient components to build
products for our customers could negatively impact our sales and operating
results. We may choose to mitigate this risk by increasing the levels of
inventory for certain key components. Increased inventory levels can increase
the potential risk for excess and obsolescence should our forecasts fail to
materialize or if there are negative factors impacting our customers’ end
markets. If we purchase too much inventory or the wrong inventory, we may have
to record additional inventory reserves or write-off the inventory, which could
have a material adverse effect on our gross margins and on our results of
operations.
We
depend on international sales for a portion of our revenues.
Sales
to
customers outside of North America accounted for 63% of net revenues during
the
six months ending June 30, 2008, and we expect that international sales will
continue to represent a portion of our total revenues. International sales
are
subject to the risks described above as well as generally longer payment cycles,
greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable, and currency restrictions.
We
also have a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Digital Power Ltd., doing business
as Gresham Power Electronics, in the United Kingdom, to support European and
other international customers, distributors, and sales representatives, which
is
subject to local regulation. In addition, international sales are subject to
the
export laws and regulations of the United States and other
countries.
We
are subject to certain governmental regulatory restrictions relating to our
international sales.
Some
of
our products are subject to ITAR, which is administered by the U.S. Department
of State. ITAR controls not only the export of certain products specifically
designed, modified, configured or adapted for military systems, but also the
export of related technical data and defense services as well as foreign
production. We recently participated in the U.S. government’s voluntary
disclosure program to notify the government of potential export compliance
issues that we discovered and to take corrective actions to ensure that we
obtain required export licenses and to otherwise comply with ITAR. We have
taken
such corrective actions and believe that we now have the necessary licenses
for
any exports subject to the ITAR. However, if the corrective actions were to
fail
or be ineffective for a prolonged period of time or if the process of obtaining
required export licenses for products subject to the ITAR is delayed, it could
have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or
operating results. Changes in United States export laws that require us to
obtain additional export licenses or delays in obtaining export licenses
currently being sought sometimes cause significant shipment delays and, if
such
delays are too great, could result in the cancellation of orders. Any future
restrictions or charges imposed by the United States or any other country on our
international sales or foreign subsidiary could have a materially adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. In addition,
from time to time, we have entered into contracts with the Israeli Ministry
of
Defense which were funded with monies subject to, and we therefore were required
to comply with the regulations governing, the U.S. Foreign Military Financing
program.
We
depend on international operations for a substantial majority of our components
and products.
We
purchase a substantial majority of our components from foreign manufacturers
and
have a substantial majority of our commercial products assembled, packaged,
and
tested by subcontractors located outside the United States. These activities
are
subject to the uncertainties associated with international business operations,
including trade barriers and other restrictions, changes in trade policies,
governmental regulations, currency exchange fluctuations, reduced protection
for
intellectual property, war and other military activities, terrorism, changes
in
social, political, or economic conditions, and other disruptions or delays
in
production or shipments, any of which could have a materially adverse effect
on
our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
We
are dependent upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate our key
personnel.
Our
success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate our key
management personnel, including our CEO and CFO, and key engineers, necessary
to
implement our business plan and to grow our business. Despite the adverse
economic conditions of the past several years, competition for certain specific
technical and management skill sets is intense. If we are unable to identify
and
hire the personnel that we need to succeed, or if one or more of our present
key
employees were to cease to be associated with us, our future results could
be
adversely affected. Furthermore, we have recently experienced a number of
changes in our senior management positions, both as part of restructuring
initiatives and otherwise. Although we believe we have taken appropriate
measures to address the impact of these changes, there is the risk that such
changes could impact our business, which could negatively affect operating
results.
Our
limited ability to protect our proprietary information and technology may
adversely affect our ability to compete, and our products could infringe upon
the intellectual property rights of others, resulting in claims against us
the
results of which could be costly.
Many
of
our products consist entirely or partly of proprietary technology owned by
us.
Although we seek to protect our technology through a combination of copyrights,
trade secret laws, contractual obligations and patents, these protections may
not be sufficient to prevent the wrongful appropriation of our intellectual
property, nor will they prevent our competitors from independently developing
technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our proprietary
technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect
our
proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. In
order
to defend our proprietary rights in the technology utilized in our products
from
third party infringement, we may be required to institute legal proceedings.
If
we are unable to successfully assert and defend our proprietary rights in the
technology utilized in our products, our future results could be adversely
affected.
Although
we attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third parties in
our
product development efforts, we may become subject to legal proceedings and
claims for alleged infringement from time to time in the ordinary course of
business. Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary
rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert
management’s attention and resources, require us to reengineer or cease sales of
our products or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements which
are
not advantageous to us. In addition, parties making claims may be able to obtain
an injunction, which could prevent us from selling our products in the United
States or abroad.
If
our accounting controls and procedures are circumvented or otherwise fail to
achieve their intended purposes, our business could be seriously harmed.
We
evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each fiscal
quarter, and are annually reviewing and evaluating our internal controls over
financial reporting in order to comply with SEC rules relating to internal
control over financial reporting adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of
2002. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we
fail
to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or our
management does not timely assess the adequacy of such internal control, we
may
be subject to regulatory sanctions and our reputation may decline.
Our
common stock price is volatile.
Our
common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange and is thinly traded.
In
the past, our trading price has fluctuated widely, depending on many factors
that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. Further,
the exercise of outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect our stock
price and a shareholder’s percentage of ownership. As of June 30, 2008, we had
outstanding employees’ options to purchase 930,190 shares of common stock, with
a weighted average exercise price of $1.15 exercisable at prices ranging from
$0.48 to $3.03 per share, and consultants’ and service providers’ options and
warrants to purchase 220,000 shares of common shares, with a weighted average
exercise price of $1.10, exercisable at prices ranging from $0.55 to
$1.19.
