Cost of revenues for fiscal 2006 decreased to $377,000, as compared with $434,000 during fiscal 2005, due to lower personnel costs. Research and development expense for fiscal 2006 were $662,000, as compared with $1,483,000 during Fiscal 2005. The decrease in fiscal 2006 was primarily due to certain development costs which met the criteria for capitalization, lower amortization expenses associated with capitalized product enhancements that had become fully amortized, as well as lower payroll and technical consulting costs. General and administrative expenses during Fiscal 2006 were $3,526,000, as compared with $3,207,000 during Fiscal 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher professional fees and increased non-cash compensation expense associated with employee stock options due to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) partially offset by lower payroll and travel expenses. Interest expense during fiscal 2006 declined to $2,000, as compared to $885,000 during Fiscal 2005, due to a decrease in the Company's outstanding Debentures, which have been satisfied primarily through the issuance of shares of Common Stock. The Debentures were fully repaid in May 2006.

Also known as "convertible preferred shares". ("Series B") in November 2004, the Company recorded a dividend to Series B shareholders of $552,000 representing the beneficial conversion feature. In connection with the issuance of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C") in August 2005, the Company recorded a dividend to Series C shareholders of $777,000 representing the beneficial conversion feature. In each of these issuances, the beneficial feature resulted from the difference between the effective conversion price and the quoted market price of the Company's Common Stock at the date of issuance. These preferred stock dividends did not require the payment of cash or the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. Net loss and net loss per share applicable to common stock (basic and diluted) for fiscal 2006 were $4,721,000 and $0.43, respectively, as compared with $7,314,000 and $0.71, respectively, during Fiscal 2005. The decrease is primarily due to lower interest expense (as described above), the beneficial conversion feature associated with the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock in Fiscal 2005 (as described above) and lower research and development expense (as described above). As of September 30, 2006, the Company had liquid resources totaling $2,182,000. These include cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1,207,000 and investments in the amount of $975,000.
