Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2011, the results of its operation and its cash flows for the three months then ended. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
During the periods presented in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, the Company operated in one business segment which is identified as Manufacturing which offers a wide variety of wireless components and network solutions to service providers, systems integrators, value added resellers, businesses and consumers, primarily in the United States.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. ("ARC"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary corporations, Starworks Wireless Inc. ("Starworks” or “Kit") and ARC Wireless Hong Kong Limited ("ARCHK"). All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. In 2010 management determined ARCHK, our wholly-owned subsidiary, was no longer necessary and operations were terminated. ARCHK primarily managed our own China production operations which was no longer required when we transitioned to RIL during the third quarter of 2010
Basis of Presentation
The Company has experienced recurring losses and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $8.6 million since inception in 1989. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. Management believes that current working capital will be sufficient to allow the Company to maintain its operations through December 31, 2011 and into the foreseeable future.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time we have cash balances in excess of federally insured amounts. We maintain our cash balances with several financial institutions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash, money market accounts, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables consist of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms which normally require payment within 30 days of the invoice date. Management reviews trade receivables periodically and reduces the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amount that may not be collectible. No provision for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010. There was no bad debt expense for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for any temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The current and deferred tax provision is allocated among the members of the consolidated group on the separate income tax return basis.
ASC 740 also provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.
Reclassifications
Certain balances in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on financial condition, gross profit, or net loss.
Note 2. Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based payments pursuant to ASC 718, Stock Compensation and, accordingly, the Company records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards.
Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for stock options as equity awards.
The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses during each period presented (in thousands):

There were no options granted or exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
As of March 31, 2011, future compensation costs related to nonvested stock options was $24 thousand. Management anticipates that this cost will be recognized over a weighted average period of three years.
Note 3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share, reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity. For periods where the Company has incurred a net loss, stock options were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive, therefore, basic and fully diluted loss per share are the same for those periods.
The following table represents a reconciliation of the shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the respective periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 4. Inventory
Commencing January 1, 2011, inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using first in first out (FIFO) which approximate average cost, due to the rapid turnover of inventory. The Company previously valued its inventory at lower of cost or market using standard cost which approximated average cost, and as such, the change is not considered a change in accounting. Inventories are reviewed periodically and items considered to be slow-moving or obsolete are reduced to estimated net realizable value through an appropriate reserve. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the inventory reserve was $65 and $64 thousand, respectively. Inventory consists of the following amounts (in thousands):

In consideration for the restructuring services which have been provided by the Advisor and for the ongoing services to be provided, ARC agreed to pay the following: 1) an initial cash fee of $250 thousand upon signing the Agreement in January 2009; 2) during 2009 and future years, ARC will pay an annual fee of the greater of (i) $250 thousand or (ii) 20% of any increase in reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization after adjusting for one-time and non-recurring items ("EBITDA") for the current financial year over preceding year, or (iii) 20% of reported EBITDA for the current financial year, and; 3) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Advisor in performing services under the Agreement. The 2010 annual fee of $250 thousand is included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2010. Approximately $62 thousand of the 2011 annual fee was accrued for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and is also included in accrued liabilities at March 31, 2011. The Agreement will expire on December 31, 2013.
During the third quarter of 2010, we began utilizing the manufacturing, product sourcing, and outsourcing services of Rainbow Industrial Limited (“RIL”) which is based in China. RIL is wholly owned by an affiliate of Quadrant Management, Inc., which is affiliated with us and our Chief Executive Officer. We purchase goods and services from RIL valued at approximately $200 thousand per month; however the actual dollar amount can vary significantly with normal fluctuations in business activity
Note 6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the disclosures about an entity’s use of fair value measurements. Among these amendments, entities are required to provide separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to the tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 (fair value determined based on significant unobservable inputs) classification and provide greater disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities that use fair value measurements. The requirement to provide the enhanced disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of these new disclosure requirements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to goodwill which (1) modifies step one of the goodwill impairment test by requiring entities with reporting units that have a zero or negative carrying value to assess, whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists and (2) does not prescribe a specific method of calculating the carrying value of a reporting unit in the performance of step one of the goodwill impairment test. Under the requirements of this standard, if the entity concludes that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the entity must perform step two of the goodwill impairment test. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment exists. This standard will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued an amendment related to the accounting for business combinations to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. This standard will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 8. Concentration of Credit Risk
One customer accounted for approximately 33% and 20% of the Company’s net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from this customer or the loss of this customer could significantly reduce the Company’s revenues and operating results. We cannot provide assurance that this customer or any of our current customers will continue to place orders, that orders by existing customers will continue at current or historical levels or that we will be able to obtain orders from new customers.
Note 9. Industry Segment Information
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires that the Company disclose certain information about its operating segment where operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The Company has one reportable segment, Manufacturing, which is a separate business unit that offers a variety of wireless components and network solutions to service providers, system integrators, value added resellers, businesses and consumers, primarily in the United States.
Note 10. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of events occurring after March 31, 2011 up to the date of the filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These statements contain all necessary adjustments and disclosures resulting from that evaluation.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our business and the results of our operations. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain statements made in our discussion may be forward looking. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from our expectations. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us” and “our,” we are describing ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We focus on wireless broadband technology related to propagation and optimization. We design and develop antennas that extend the reach of broadband and other wireless networks and that simplify the implementation of those networks. We supply our products to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, value added resellers and other original equipment manufacturers. Our strategy is focused on enhancing value for our stockholders by increasing revenues while at the same time reducing our overhead.
Growth in product revenue is dependent both on gaining further traction with current and new customers for the existing product portfolio as well as further acquisitions to support our wireless initiatives. Revenue growth for antenna products is correlated to overall global wireless market growth and a portion of our growth in this market has slowed due to the increasing use of fully integrated solutions and the current global economic conditions. We continue to focus on keeping our operational and general costs down in order to improve our gross margins until demand rebounds.
Specific growth areas are last mile wireless broadband Internet delivered over standards-based solutions such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (“WiMAX”), WiFi or vendor specific proprietary solutions for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint applications, and industrial automation markets; Global Positioning Systems (“GPS”) and Mobile SATCOM solutions for network timing, fleet and asset tracking and monitoring; Machine to machine (“M2M”) communications for controlling or monitoring data from devices; and cellular base station antennas to build out or optimize carrier networks.
During the third quarter of 2010, we began utilizing the manufacturing, product sourcing, and outsourcing services of Rainbow Industrial Limited (“RIL”) which is based in China. RIL is wholly owned by an affiliate of Quadrant Management, Inc., which is affiliated with us and our Chief Executive Officer. We purchase goods and services from RIL valued at approximately $200 thousand per month; however the actual dollar amount can vary significantly with normal fluctuations in business activity. We use RIL’s services because we believe in doing so it may lower our costs and simplify our internal accounting procedures.
Financial Condition
At March 31, 2011, we had approximately $11.8 million in working capital, which represents a decrease of approximately $100 thousand from working capital at December 31, 2010 of $11.9 million.
We have seen a decline in orders from customers, both domestically and internationally, as a result of the current economic environment and due to the increasing use of fully integrated solutions rather than the component solutions we offer. While we do not expect this trend to reverse in 2011, we continue our efforts to acquire new customers and update our product portfolio.
Management believes that current working capital will be sufficient to allow us to maintain our operations through December 31, 2011 and into the foreseeable future.
Results of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Total revenues were approximately $823 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 is primarily attributable to general decrease in broadband wireless sales which was partially offset by an increase in our GPS antenna sales.
Gross profit margins were 29% and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to our focus on cutting our operational costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 36% to $367 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $572 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. SG&A as a percent of total revenues decreased from 50% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Salaries and wages, remains the largest component of SG&A costs, constituting 29% of the total SG&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The majority of the overall decrease in SG&A is related to a decrease in salary costs and decreases in US facility costs. We are continuing our efforts to streamline our operations and reduce costs in other areas.
Other income decreased during the first quarter 2011 to approximately $10 thousand as compared to $11 thousand in the first quarter 2010. The decline is primarily due to decreased interest income as a result of the decline in our cash balances in addition to a decline in interest rates on money market funds where a significant portion of the funds are invested.
There is no provision for income taxes for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 due to our net losses for both periods.

(1) Current ratio is calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities.
(2) Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
We have a cash balance of $11.3 million at March 31, 2011 and hold no debt outstanding. We believe that we have the ability to provide for our remaining 2011 operational needs through projected operating cash flow and cash on hand.
The net cash used by operating activities was $296 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $324 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The primary reason for the change is a reduction in the net loss from operations of $152 thousand comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
The net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $33 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $55 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily the result of capital expenditures for molds and machinery.
We had no cash flows related to financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive and acting chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the person performing the similar function as Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation discussed above that occurred during the period ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
