ANDREA ELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Management Liquidity Plans

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Andrea Electronics Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Andrea”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepting in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in Andrea’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Management’s Liquidity Plans - As of September 30, 2006, Andrea had working capital of $1,343,878 and cash and cash equivalents of $167,213. Andrea’s income from operations was $68,452 and $25,235 for the quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. Andrea plans to continue to improve its cash flows during 2006 by placing heightened emphasis on its sales and marketing efforts.

As of November 3, 2006, Andrea has approximately $150,000 (unaudited) of cash. Management believes that Andrea has sufficient liquidity available to operate through at least September 2007.

While Andrea continues to explore opportunities to increase sales in new business areas, the Company is also examining opportunities for cost reduction, production efficiencies and further diversification of its business. In the first quarter of 2005, Andrea made significant changes in its facilities (See Note 7). By Andrea assigning its lease in Melville, New York , and entering into a new lease in Bohemia, New York, the closing of its facility in Israel, the movement of the Company’s facility in Utah and other related operational expense reductions, effective April 2005, Andrea reduced its annual cash expenses by approximately $1.1 million. Although the Company has improved cash flows by reducing overall expenses, to the extent that the Company’s revenues decline or remain flat, additional liquidity might be required in 2007. Accordingly, if Andrea fails to develop additional revenues from sales of its products or to generate adequate funding from operations, or if Andrea fails to obtain additional financing through a capital transaction or other type of financing, Andrea will be required to continue to reduce its operating expenses and/or operations or Andrea may have to relinquish its products, technologies or markets which could have a materially adverse effect on revenue and operations. Andrea has no commitment for additional financing and may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Among other things, estimates are used in accounting for allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, product warranties, depreciation, deferred income taxes, expected realizable values for assets (primarily intangible assets), contingencies, revenue recognition, future cash flows as well as the recording and presentation of convertible preferred stock. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition - Non software-related revenue, which is generally comprised of microphones and microphone connectivity product revenues, is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. With respect to licensing revenues, Andrea recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 “Revenue Recognition.” License revenue is recognized based on the terms and conditions of individual contracts. In addition, fee based services, which are short-term in nature, are generally performed on a time-and-material basis under separate service arrangements and the corresponding revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed.

Earnings (loss) Per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) adjusts basic earnings (loss) per share for the effects of

 

6


convertible securities, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) in the future that were not included in the computation of the diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, consist of the following:

 

      September 30,
2006
   September 30,
2005
Total potential common shares:      

Options to purchase common stock

   2,090,000    5,082,500

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and related accrued dividends (Note 4)

   4,607,252    4,836,010

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and related Warrants (Note 5)

   10,472,632    10,472,632
         

Total potential common shares as of September 30, 2006

   17,169,884    20,391,142
         

The following table sets forth the components used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2006:

 

Numerator:

  

Net income

   $ 46,877
      

Denominator:

  

Weighted average shares

     58,512,333

Effect of dilutive securities:

  

Employee stock options

     873,127
      

Denominator for diluted earnings per share-adjusted weighted average shares after assumed conversions

     59,385,460
      

The above computation was not necessary for the three months ended September 30, 2005 or the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 as the periods had a net loss.

Stock-Based Compensation - At September 30, 2006, Andrea had three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 3. Effective, January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company amortizes sock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS 123R. In accordance with the requirements of the modified prospective transition method, consolidated financial statements for prior year periods have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. Additionally, effective with the adoption of SFAS 123R excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified in cash flows from financing activities.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans applying the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure. In accordance with APB 25, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized for options granted to employees, as all options granted under those plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not effect the Company’s cash flows or financial position, but has had an adverse impact on results of operations. The result of adoption of this pronouncement was $2,203 and $6,944 of compensation expense for the quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2006, which is included in general, administrative and selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Andrea has cash deposits in excess of the maximum amounts insured by FDIC at September 30, 2006 and December 31 2005.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Andrea is a manufacturer of audio communications equipment for several industries. Revenues related to the recognition of deferred revenue as well as other service related revenues to one customer were approximately 5% and 17% of the total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and accounted for 4% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2006. Revenues related to the recognition of deferred revenue as well as other service related revenues to one customer were approximately 7% and 29% of the total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales of noise canceling and active noise canceling products were significant to one customer and its affiliates, accounting for approximately 8% and 9% of the total sales for the three months ended September 30 2006 and 2005, respectively, and accounted for 6% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2006. Sales of noise canceling and active noise canceling products were significant to one customer and its affiliates, accounting for approximately 11% and 9% of the total sales for the nine months ended September 30 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales of superbeam array microphone products were significant to one customer and its affiliates, accounting for approximately 44% and 0% of the total sales for the three months ended September 30 2006 and 2005, respectively, and accounted for 55% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2006. Sales of superbeam array microphone products were significant to one customer and its affiliates, accounting for approximately 25% and 0% of the total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Licensing revenues and other sales of noise canceling and active noise canceling products were significant to one customer and its affiliates, accounting for approximately 10% and 0% of the total sales for the three months ended September 30 2006 and 2005, respectively, and accounted for 8% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2006. Licensing revenues and other sales of noise canceling and active noise canceling products were significant to one customer and its affiliates, accounting for approximately 11% and 1% of the total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Andrea purchased a substantial portion of its finished goods from one supplier. Purchases from this supplier amounted to 79% and 35% of total purchases for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, purchases from this supplier amounted to 77% and 64%, respectively, of total purchases. At September 30, 2006, the amount due to this supplier included in accounts payable was $382,805.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out) or market basis.

Intangible and Long-Lived Assets - Andrea accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 , “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” for purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets) other than goodwill. Andrea’s policy is to periodically review the value assigned to its long-lived assets to determine if they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect Andrea. If Andrea identifies a permanent impairment such that the carrying amount of Andrea’s long lived assets are not recoverable using the sum of an undiscounted cash flow projection (gross margin dollars from product sales), a new cost basis for the impaired asset will be established. This new cost basis will be net of any recorded impairment.

At September 30, 2006, management compared the sum of Andrea’s undiscounted cash flow projections (gross margin dollars from product sales) of the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software core technology to the carrying value of that technology. The results of this test indicated that there was no impairment. However, this process utilized probability weighted undiscounted cash flow projections which include a significant amount of management’s judgment and estimates as to future revenue. If these probability weighted projections do not come to fruition, the Company could be required to record an impairment charge in the near term and such impairment could be material.

Andrea amortizes its core technology, patents and trademarks on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of its intangible assets that range from 15 to 17 years. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, amortization expense was $117,923 and $117,610, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, amortization expense was $353,289 and $352,567, respectively.

Reclassifications – Certain accounts in the prior period’s financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current period’s financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FIN 48 and does not expect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. In addition, this statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Where applicable, this statement simplifies and codifies related guidance within generally accepted accounting principles. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 becomes effective in fiscal 2007. Adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 3. Stock Plans and Stock Based Compensation

In 1991, the Board of Directors of Andrea (the “Board”) adopted the 1991 Performance Equity Plan (“1991 Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders. The 1991 Plan, as amended, authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Andrea’s Common Stock to be acquired by the holders of those awards. Stock options granted to employees and directors under the 1991 Plan were granted for terms of up to 10 years at an exercise price equal to the market value at the date of grant. No further awards will be granted under the 1991 Plan.

In 1998, the Board adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the shareholders. The 1998 Plan, as amended, authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 6,375,000 shares of Andrea’s Common Stock to be acquired by the holders of those awards. The awards can take the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock reload options or other stock-based awards. Awards may be granted to key employees, officers, directors and consultants. At June 30, 2006, there were 1,401,653 shares available for further issuance under the 1998 Plan.

In October 2006, the Board adopted the Andrea Electronics Corporation 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (“2006 Plan”), subject to approval by the shareholders at the Company’s stockholders’ meeting scheduled for November 16, 2006. The 2006 Plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Andrea’s Common Stock to be

During 2005 and 2004, pursuant to Andrea’s compensation policy for outside directors, Andrea granted 400,000 shares of Common Stock with a fair market value of $0.05 and 176,472 shares of Common Stock with a fair market value of $0.17, respectively. Compensation expense related to these awards was $5,001 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note 4. Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On October 10, 2000, Andrea issued and sold in a private placement $7,500,000 of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Each of these shares of Series C Preferred Stock had a stated value of $10,000 plus a 5% per annum increase in the stated value, which sum was convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.30. This conversion price was subject to change based on various events, including the announcement of a major transaction or upon certain triggering events. In addition, upon announcement of a major transaction or upon certain triggering events, as defined, the investors had the right to require Andrea to redeem all or a portion of the investors’ Series C Preferred Stock at a defined redemption price. If Andrea was unable to effect such redemption, the Company would be subject to additional penalties. Due to these redemption features, the Series C Preferred Stock was presented outside of shareholders’ equity prior to 2004.

On February 17, 2004, Andrea announced that it had entered into an Exchange and Termination Agreement and an Acknowledgment and Waiver Agreement and that certain third party investors (the “Series C Investors”) had purchased 582.887593 shares of the Series

 

11


C Preferred Stock from the original holder of such Series C Preferred Stock (the “Existing C Holder”). In the Acknowledgment and Waiver Agreement between Andrea and the Series C Investors, the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock would effectively be revised, which among other things would: (i) eliminate the holders’ security interest in Andrea’s assets; (ii) eliminate any right of holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to require a redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock, with two limited exceptions which are within Andrea’s control; (iii) eliminate the future increases, based on a rate of 5% per year of the Stated Value of the unconverted balance of the Series C Preferred Stock, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock; and (iv) eliminate an existing election by a holder of Series C Preferred Stock to utilize a lower market price as the conversion price and reset the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock to $0.2551 per share of Common Stock from the existing $0.30 per share. As a result of the Acknowledgement and Waiver Agreement, the Series C Preferred Stock outstanding is classified as part of shareholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On May 24, 2006, 5 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, together with related accrued dividends, were converted into 228,758 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.2551. As of September 30, 2006, there were 100.701477 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding and accrued dividends of $168,296, which were convertible into 4,607,252 shares of Common Stock.

Note 5. Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

On February 17, 2004, Andrea entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Series C Investors and other investors (collectively, the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Buyers agreed to invest a total of $2,500,000. In connection with this agreement, on February 23, 2004, the Buyers purchased, for a purchase price of $1,250,000, an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of a new class of preferred stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, convertible into 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (an effective conversion price of $0.25 per share) and Common Stock warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time after August 17, 2004 and before February 23, 2009 at an exercise price of $0.38 per share.

In addition, on June 4, 2004, the Buyers purchased for an additional $1,250,000, an additional 1,250,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock convertible into 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (an effective conversion price of $0.25 per share) and Common Stock warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time after December 4, 2004 and before June 4, 2009 at an exercise price of $0.17 per share.

As of September 30, 2006, there were 1,328,572 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 5,158,344 related warrants outstanding, which are convertible and exercisable into 10,472,632 shares of Common Stock.

At September 30, 2006, the future minimum cash commitments under this agreement aggregate $562,500, of which $12,500 is included in other liabilities at September 30, 2006.

Legal Proceedings

Andrea is involved in routine litigation incidental to the normal course of business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the final outcome of claims, Andrea believes the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on Andrea’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 8. Segment Information

Andrea follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Reportable operating segments are determined based on Andrea’s management approach. The management approach, as defined by SFAS No. 131, is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. While Andrea’s results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker also manages the enterprise in two segments: (i) Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and (ii) Andrea Anti-Noise Products. Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products primarily include products based on the use of some, or all, of the following technologies: Andrea Digital Super Directional Array microphone technology (DSDA), Andrea Direction Finding and Tracking Array microphone technology (DFTA), Andrea PureAudio noise filtering technology, and Andrea EchoStop, an advanced acoustic echo cancellation technology. Our Andrea Anti-Noise Products include noise cancellation and active noise cancellation computer headset products and related computer peripheral products.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

Our mission is to provide the emerging “voice interface” markets with state-of-the-art communications products that facilitate natural language, human/machine interfaces.

Examples of the applications and interfaces for which Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products provide benefit include: Internet and other computer-based speech; telephony communications; multi-point conferencing; speech recognition; multimedia; multi-player Internet and CD ROM interactive games; and other applications and interfaces that incorporate natural language processing. We believe that end users of these applications and interfaces will require high quality microphone and earphone products that enhance voice transmission, particularly in noisy environments, for use with personal computers, mobile personal computing devices, cellular and other wireless communication devices and automotive communication systems. Our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products use “far-field” digital signal processing technology to provide high quality transmission of voice where the user is at a distance from the microphone. High quality audio communication technologies will be required for emerging far-field voice applications, ranging from continuous speech dictation, to Internet telephony and multiparty video teleconferencing and collaboration, to natural language-driven interfaces for automobiles, home and office automation and other machines and devices into which voice-controlled microprocessors are expected to be introduced during the next several years.

We outsource to Asia high volume assembly for most of our products from purchased components. We assemble some low volume Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products from purchased components. As sales of any particular Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Product increases, assembly operations are transferred to a subcontractor in Asia.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain information that is pertinent to management’s discussion and analysis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In addition to the recording and presentation of our convertible preferred stock, we believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that affect our financial condition and results of operations. We have discussed the application of these critical accounting policies with our Audit Committee.

Revenue Recognition – Non software-related revenue, which is generally comprised of microphones and microphone connectivity product revenues, is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. With respect to licensing revenues, Andrea recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 “Revenue Recognition.” License revenue is recognized based on the terms and conditions of individual contracts (see Note 6 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for example). In addition, fee based services, which are short-term in nature, are generally performed on a time-and-material basis under separate service arrangements and the corresponding revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed.

Accounts Receivable – We are required to estimate the collectibility of our trade receivables. Judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer and related aging of the past due balances. We evaluate specific accounts when we become aware of a situation where a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to a deterioration of its financial viability, credit ratings or bankruptcy. The reserve requirements are based on the best facts available to us and reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. Our reserves also are determined by using percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $17,068 and $18,856, respectively.

Inventories – We are required to state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, we are required to make considerable judgments as to future demand requirements and compare that with our current inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requirements decrease due to market conditions, technological and product life cycle changes as well as longer than previously expected usage periods. Inventories of $940,920 and $679,002 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are net of reserves of $630,463 and $673,817, respectively. It is possible that additional charges to inventory may be recorded in the future if there are further declines in market conditions.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”- Andrea accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 for purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets) other than goodwill. Andrea’s policy is to review the value assigned to its long lived assets to determine if they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect Andrea whenever events or

 

16


changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If Andrea identifies a permanent impairment such that the carrying amount of Andrea’s long lived assets are not recoverable using the sum of an undiscounted cash flow projection (gross margin dollars from product sales), the impaired asset is adjusted to the estimated fair value which becomes the new cost basis for the impaired asset. This new cost basis will be net of any recorded impairment. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate undiscounted future operating cash flows and fair values and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.

At September 30, 2006, management compared the sum of Andrea’s undiscounted cash flow projections (gross margin dollars from product sales) of the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software core technology to the carrying value of that technology. The results of this test indicated that there was no impairment. However, this process utilized probability weighted undiscounted cash flow projections which include a significant amount of management’s judgment and estimates as to future revenue. If these probability weighted projections do not come to fruition, the Company could be required to record an impairment charge in the near term and such impairment could be material.

Amortization expense was $117,923 and $117,610 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization expense was $353,289 and $352,567 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization of core technology is expected to be approximately $441,421 per year for the next nine years. Trademarks and patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years. The net value of our core technology and patents and trademarks at September 30, 2006 is $3,200,303 and $346,900 respectively. The net value of our core technology and patents and trademarks at December 31, 2005 was $3,531,369 and $355,124, respectively.

Deferred Tax Assets – We currently have significant deferred tax assets. SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Furthermore, SFAS No. 109 provides that it is difficult to conclude that a valuation allowance is not needed when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Therefore, cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall assessment. Accordingly, we expect to provide a full valuation allowance on future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to utilize the assets, or other significant positive evidence arises that suggests our ability to utilize such assets. The future realization of a portion of our reserved deferred tax assets related to tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options, if and when realized, will not result in a tax benefit in the consolidated statements of operations, but rather will result in an increase in additional paid-in capital. We will continue to re-assess our reserves on deferred income tax assets in future periods on a quarterly basis.

We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims, including proceedings under laws and government regulations related to securities, environmental, labor, product and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is based on an analysis of each individual issue with the assistance of legal counsel. The amount of any reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter.

The impact of changes in the estimates and judgments pertaining to revenue recognition, receivables and inventories is directly reflected in our segments’ (loss) income from operations. Although any charges related to our deferred tax assets are not reflected in our segment results, the long-term forecasts supporting the realization of those assets and changes in them are significantly affected by the actual and expected results of each segment.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 (the “2006 Third Quarter”) compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005 (the “2005 Third Quarter”) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (the “2006 First Nine Months”) compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 (the “2005 First Nine Months”) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, our beliefs and certain assumptions made by our management. Investors are cautioned that matters subject to forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that may affect our business and prospects. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. In order to obtain the benefits of these “safe harbor” provisions for any such forward-looking statements, we wish to caution investors and prospective investors about the following significant factors, which, among others, have in some cases affected our actual results and are in the future likely to affect our actual results and could cause them to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements. These factors include the following:

 

17


Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuation, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful and you should not rely on them as indications of our future performance.

Our results of operations have historically been and are subject to continued substantial annual and quarterly fluctuations. The causes of these fluctuations include, among other things:

 

    the volume of sales of our products under our collaborative marketing arrangements;

 

    the cost of development of our products;

 

    the mix of products we sell;

 

    the mix of distribution channels we use;

 

    the timing of our new product releases and those of our competitors;

 

    fluctuations in the computer and communications hardware and software marketplace; and

 

    general economic conditions.

We cannot assure that the level of revenues and gross profit, if any, that we achieve in any particular fiscal period will not be significantly lower than in other fiscal periods. Our revenues for the 2006 Third Quarter were approximately $1.7 million versus approximately $0.9 million for the 2005 Third Quarter. Net income for the 2006 Third Quarter was $46,877, or $.00 per share on a basic and diluted basis, versus net loss of $83,159, or $.00 per share on a basic and diluted basis for the 2005 Third Quarter. Our revenues for the 2006 First Nine Months were approximately $4.1 million versus $3.2 million for the 2005 First Nine Months. Net loss for the 2006 First Nine Months was $17,146, or $.00 per share on a basic and diluted basis, versus net loss of $413,051, or $.01 per share on a basic and diluted basis for the 2005 First Nine Months. We continue to explore opportunities to grow sales in other business areas, we are also examining additional opportunities for cost reduction, production efficiencies and further diversification of our business. In the first quarter of 2005 we made tremendous strides in cutting our expenses. By assigning our lease in Melville, New York, entering into our new lease in Bohemia, New York, closing our facility in Israel, moving our facility in Utah and other related operational expense reductions, effective April 2005, we reduced our annual cash expenses by approximately $1.1 million. Although we are improving cash flows by reducing overall expenses, if our revenues decline we may not generate positive cash flows and our net income or loss may be affected. Furthermore, our acquisition in 1998 of Lamar Signal Processing, Ltd. (“Lamar”) resulted in a substantial amount of goodwill (written off in entirety) and other intangible assets. The amortization of these intangible assets has had, and will continue to have, a negative, non-cash impact on our results of operations. As a result of all of the above factors, we might continue to accumulate losses and the market price of our common stock could decline and/or continue to fluctuate.

If we fail to obtain additional capital or maintain access to funds sufficient to meet our operating needs, we may be required to significantly reduce, sell, or refocus our operations and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely effected.

In order to be a viable entity we need to achieve profitable operations. To accomplish profitable operations we need to maintain/increase current revenues and continue to look for ways to control expenses. We might also need to sell additional assets or raise capital as a means of funding continued operations. In recent years, we have sustained significant operating losses. Since 1997, we have been unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our operating needs and, correspondingly, from time to time during the past several years, we have raised additional capital from external sources. We may have to continue to raise additional capital from external sources. These sources may include private or public financings through the issuance of debt, convertible debt or equity, or collaborative arrangements. Such additional capital and funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Additionally, we may only be able to obtain additional capital or funds through arrangements that require us to relinquish rights to our products, technologies or potential markets, in whole or in part, or result in our sale. In 2005 we significantly cut our expenses. By assigning our lease in Melville, New York, and entering into our new lease in Bohemia, New York, closing our facility in Israel, moving our facility in Utah and other related operational expense reductions, effective April 2005, we reduced our annual cash expenses by approximately $1.1 million. As a result of the decrease in expenses and our increases in sales, we believe that we now have sufficient liquidity to continue our operations at least through September 2007, provided our revenues do not decline and our operating expenses do not increase. Although we have revised our business strategies to reduce our expenses and capital expenditures, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in generating positive cash flows or obtaining access to additional sources of funding in amounts necessary to continue our operations. Failure to maintain sufficient access to funding may also result in our inability to continue operations.

Shares Eligible For Future Sale May Have An Adverse Effect On Market Price and Andrea Stockholders May Experience Substantial Dilution.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could have the effect of depressing the prevailing market price of our common stock. Of the 200,000,000 shares of common stock presently authorized, 58,512,333 were outstanding as of November 3, 2006. The number of shares outstanding does not include an aggregate of 30,916,537 shares of common stock that are

 

18


issuable. This number of issuable common shares is equal to 53% of the 58,512,333 outstanding shares. These issuable common shares are comprised of: a) 5,435,000 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding awards granted under our 1991 Performance Equity Plan and 1998 Stock Plan; b) 401,653 shares reserved for future grants under our 1998 Stock Plan; c) 10,000,000 shares reserved for future grants under our 2006 Stock Plan; d) 4,607,252 shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock; e) 5,314,288 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock; and f) 5,158,344 of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants relating to the Series D Preferred stock.

Conversions of our Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and related Warrants may result in substantial dilution to other holders of our common stock.

As of November 3, 2006, we had 100.701477 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 1,328,572 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 5,158,344 Common Stock warrants outstanding. The issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock is limited to that amount which, after given effect to the conversion, would cause the holder not to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or, together with other shares beneficially own during the 60 day period prior to such conversion, not to beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock. The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and the related warrants also are limited to that amount which, after given effect to the conversion, would cause the holder not to beneficially own an excess of 4.99% of then outstanding shares of our common stock, except that each holder has a right to terminate such limitation upon 61 days notice to us. Beneficial ownership for purposes of calculation of such percentage limitations does not include shares whose acquisition is subject to similar limitations. If all shares of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock and warrants, which are outstanding to be issued, are assumed to be converted into or exercised for shares of common stock, the number of new shares of common stock required to be issued as a result would aggregate 15,079,884 shares, which would represent 26% of the then outstanding shares of common stock.

Short sales of our common stock may be attracted by or accompany conversions of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, which sales may cause downward pressure upon the price of our common stock.

Short sales of our common stock may be attracted by or accompany the sale of converted common stock, which in the aggregate could cause downward pressure upon the price of the common stock, regardless of our operating results, thereby attracting additional short sales of the common stock.

If we fail to commercialize and fully market our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products, or continue to develop, and not fully market, Andrea Anti-Noise Headset products, our revenues may not increase at a high enough rate to improve our results of operations or may not increase at all.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition depend on the successful commercialization of our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products and technologies. We introduced our first Andrea DSP Microphone products in 1998 and we continued to introduce complementary products and technologies over the last several years. We are primarily targeting these products at the desktop computer market, the audio and video conferencing markets and the market for in-vehicle computing, among others. The success of these products is subject to the risks frequently encountered by companies in an early stage of product commercialization, particularly companies in the computing and communications industries.

If we are unable to obtain market acceptance of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products and technologies or if market acceptance of these products and technologies occurs at a slow rate, then our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

We, and our competitors, are focused on developing and commercializing products and technologies that enhance the use of voice, particularly in noisy environments, for a broad range of computer and communications applications. These products and technologies have been rapidly evolving and the number of our competitors has grown, but the markets for these products and technologies are subject to a high level of uncertainty and have been developing slowly. We, alone or together with our industry, may be unsuccessful in obtaining market acceptance of these products and technologies.

If we fail to develop and successfully introduce new products and technologies in response to competition and evolving technology, we may not be able to attract new customers or retain current customers.

The markets in which we sell our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software and Andrea Anti-Noise Headset products are highly competitive. We may not compete successfully with any of our competitors. Most of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technology development, marketing, technical support and other resources than we do. Consequently, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, marketing, and sale of their products than we can. One or more of these competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. The introduction of products incorporating new technologies could render our products obsolete and unmarketable and could exert price pressures on existing products.

 

19


We are currently engaged in the development of digital signal processing products and technologies for the voice, speech and natural language interface markets. We may not succeed in developing these new digital signal processing products and technologies, and any of these new digital signal processing products or technologies may not gain market acceptance.

Further, the markets for our products and technologies are characterized by evolving industry and government standards and specifications that may require us to devote substantial time and expense to adapt our products and technologies. For example, certain of our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software and Andrea Anti-Noise Headset products are subject to the Federal Communications Commission requirements. We may not successfully anticipate and adapt our products and technologies in a cost effective and timely manner to changes in technology and industry standards or to introductions of new products and technologies by others that render our then existing products and technologies obsolete.

If our marketing collaborators do not effectively market those of their products with which our products are included or incorporated, our sales growth will be adversely affected.

We have entered into collaborative and distribution arrangements with software publishers and computer hardware manufacturers relating to the marketing and sale of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products through inclusion or incorporation with the products of our collaborators. Our success will therefore be dependent to a substantial degree on the efforts of these collaborators to market their products with which our products are included or incorporated. Our collaborators may not successfully market these products. In addition, our collaborators generally are not contractually obligated to any minimum level of sales of our products or technologies, and we have no control over their marketing efforts. Furthermore, our collaborators may develop their own microphone, earphone or headset products that may replace our products or technologies or to which they may give higher priority.

Shortages of, or interruptions in, the supply of more specialized components for our products could have a material adverse effect on our sales of these products.

The majority of our assembly operations are fulfilled by subcontractors (primarily in the Far East) using purchased components. Some specialized components for the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products and Andrea Anti-Noise products, such as microphones and digital signal processing boards, are available from a limited number of suppliers (in some cases foreign) and subject to long lead times. We may not be able to continue to obtain sufficient supplies of these more specialized components, particularly if the sales of our products increase substantially or market demand for these components otherwise increases. If our subcontractors fail to meet our production and shipment schedules, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

Our ability to compete may be limited by our failure to adequately protect our intellectual property or by patents granted to third parties.

We rely on a combination of patents, patent applications, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, nondisclosure agreements with our employees, independent contractors, licensees and potential licensees, limited access to and dissemination of our proprietary information, and other measures to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. However, the steps that we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not prevent its misappropriation or circumvention. In addition, numerous patents have been granted to other parties in the fields of noise cancellation, noise reduction, computer voice recognition, digital signal processing and related subject matter. We expect that products in these fields will increasingly be subject to claims under these patents as the numbers of products and competitors in these fields grow and the functionality of products overlap. Claims of this type could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture and market our products or to develop new products and technologies, because the parties holding these patents may refuse to grant licenses or only grant licenses with onerous royalty requirements. Moreover, the laws of other countries do not protect our proprietary rights to our technologies to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

An unfavorable ruling in any current litigation proceeding or future proceeding may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

From time to time we are subject to litigation incidental to our business. For example, we are subject to the risk of adverse claims, interference proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, oppositions to patent applications outside the United States, and litigation alleging infringement of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation to establish the validity of patents, to assert infringement claims against others, and to defend against patent infringement claims can be expensive and time-consuming, even if the outcome is in our favor.

Changes in economic and political conditions outside the United States could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We generate significant revenues to regions outside the United States, particularly in Asia. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, and 2005, net revenues to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 60% and 6%, respectively, of our net revenues from continuing operations. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, and 2005, net revenues to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 49% and 5%, respectively, of our net revenues from continuing operations. International revenues and operations are subject to a number of risks, including:

 

  trade restrictions in the form of license requirements;

 

  restrictions on exports and imports and other government controls;

 

  changes in tariffs and taxes;

 

  difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

 

  problems in establishing and managing distributor relationships;

 

  general economic conditions; and

 

  political and economic instability or conflict.

To date, we have invoiced our international revenues in U.S. dollars, and have not engaged in any foreign exchange or hedging transactions. We may not be able to continue to invoice all of our revenues in U.S. dollars in order to avoid engaging in foreign exchange or hedging transactions. If we are required to invoice any material amount of international revenues in non-U.S. currencies, fluctuations in the value of non-U.S. currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition or require us to incur hedging costs to counter such fluctuations.

If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary managerial, technical and other personnel necessary for our business, then our business, results of operations and financial condition will be harmed.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of these executive officers or key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified managers and technical personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may not be able to attract, assimilate or retain qualified personnel in the future.

Results Of Operations

Quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to Quarter ended September 30, 2005 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005.

Net Revenues

Net Revenues for the 2006 Third Quarter, were $1,692,451, an increase of 88% from net revenues of $899,508 for the 2005 Third Quarter. Net Revenues for the 2006 First Nine Months were $4,130,352, an increase of 30% from the 2005 First Nine Months net revenues of $3,176,136. The increase in net revenues for the 2006 Third Quarter reflects an increase of 2% in net revenues of Andrea Anti-Noise Products, to $570,805, or 34% of net revenues and a 231% increase in net revenues of Andrea DSP Microphone and Software Products to $1,121,646, or 66% of total net revenues. The increase in net revenues for the 2006 First Nine Months reflects an increase of 14% in net revenues of Andrea Anti-Noise Products and Software Products to $2,043,904, or 49% of net revenues and a 73% increase in net revenues of Andrea DSP Microphone to $2,086,448, or 51% of net revenues. $736,890 and $1,036,112 of the increases in net revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products are due to low margin product shipments to one of our OEM customers. $172,126 and $376,479 of the increases in net revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products relate to revenue recognized related to our license agreements with Creative. These increases in net revenues of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products offset in part by the decrease in amortization of licensing revenue recognized related to our agreements with Analog. Licensing revenue recognized related to our December 2001 and March 2002 agreements with Analog was $56,301 and $713,284 for the 2006 Third Quarter and 2006, First Nine Months respectively. The quarter and year to date increases in net revenues of Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Products are due to increased product shipments to several of our OEM customers as well as an increasing number of businesses utilizing distance learning and on-line collaboration software who, in turn, procure our noise canceling headset products.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues for the 2006 Third Quarter increased to 57% from 43% for the 2005 Third Quarter. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales for the 2006 First Nine Months increased to 54% from 40% for the 2005 First Nine Months. These increases primarily reflect the impact of the changes in the composition of our revenues as described under “Revenues” above.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the 2006 Third Quarter increased 10% to $145,783 from $133,151 for the 2005 Third Quarter. Research and development expenses for the 2006 First Nine Months were $414,176, a decrease of 18% from the 2005 First Nine Months research and development expenses of $504,354. The quarter to quarter increase is primarily due to increased compensation and related benefit costs and legal and patent expenses. The year to date decrease is primarily due to the closure of our Israel facility and the reversal of non-cash deferred rent charges relating to our assignment of lease and assumption agreement. For the 2006 Third Quarter, the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology efforts were $117,236, or 80% of total research and development expenses and Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Product efforts were $28,547, or 20% of total research and development expenses. For the 2006 First Nine Months, the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology efforts were $326,841, or 79% of total research and development expenses and Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Product efforts were $87,335, or 21% of total research and development expenses. With respect to DSP Microphone and Audio Software technologies, research efforts are primarily focused on the pursuit of commercializing a natural language-driven human/machine interface by developing optimal far-field microphone solutions for various voice-driven interfaces, incorporating Andrea’s digital super directional array microphone technology, and certain other related technologies such as noise suppression and stereo acoustic echo cancellation. We believe that continued research and development spending should provide Andrea with a competitive advantage.

General, Administrative and Selling Expenses

General, administrative and selling expenses increased approximately 11% to $516,625 for the 2006 Third Quarter from $465,776 for the 2005 Third Quarter. General, administrative and selling expenses for the 2006 First Nine Months were $1,453,597, a decrease of 18% from the 2005 First Nine Months general, administrative and selling expenses of $1,775,347. This quarter to quarter increase is primarily due to increased compensation and related benefit costs, legal expenses and information technology expenses. The year to date decrease is primarily related to the decrease in operation costs as a result of our new lease.

Other expense

Other expense for the 2006 Third Quarter was $1,129 compared to $618 for the 2005 Third Quarter. Other expense for the 2006 First Nine Months was $1,439 compared to $51,408 for the 2005 First Nine Months. The year to date decrease in other expense is the result of the loss in disposal of property and equipment in the 2005 First Quarter.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in the 2006 Second Quarter is a result of our licensing revenues with Creative. These licensing revenues are subject to a 10% royalty tax as mandated by the United States Treaty with Singapore that is withheld from all licensing payments. For all other income taxes, we provide a full valuation allowance on future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to utilize the assets, or other significant positive evidence arises that suggests our ability to utilize such assets. The future realization of a portion of our reserved deferred tax assets related to tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options, if and when realized, will not result in a tax benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, but rather will result in an increase in additional paid-in capital. We will continue to re-assess our reserves on deferred income tax assets in future periods on a quarterly basis.

Net Income (loss)

Net income for 2006 Third Quarter was $46,877 compared to net loss of $(83,159) for the 2005 Third Quarter. Net loss for the 2006 First Nine Months was $(17,146) compared to net loss of $(413,051) for the 2005 First Nine Months. The net income for 2006 Third Quarter and net loss for the 2006 First Nine Months principally reflects the factors described above.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

Andrea’s principal sources of funds have historically been gross cash flows from operations and proceeds from the sale of convertible notes, preferred stock or other securities to certain financial institutions, investors and potential industry partners and are expected to be gross cash flows from operations going forward. At September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $167,213 compared with $418,597 at December 31, 2005. The balance of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2006 is primarily a result of our cash provided from operations during the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005 as well as the cash remaining from our issuance and sale of $2,500,000 of our Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants in 2004, partially offset by gross cash outflows from operations from the time of the issuance through the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and gross cash outflows from operations during the 2006 First Nine Months.

Working capital balance at September 30, 2006 was $1,343,878 compared to a working capital balance of $992,636 at December 31, 2005. The increase in working capital reflects increases in total current assets and total current liabilities of $566,269 and $215,027, respectively. The increase in total current assets reflects a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $251,384, an increase in accounts

 

22


receivable of $686,953, an increase in inventories of $261,918, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $131,218. The increase in total current liabilities reflects an increase in trade accounts payable of $132,087, a $4,569 decrease in the short-term portion of capital lease and an increase of $87,509 in other current liabilities.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $251,384 reflects $218,872 of net cash used in operating activities, $23,368 of net cash used in investing activities and $9,144 of net cash used in financing activities.

The cash used in operating activities of $218,872, excluding non-cash charges, is attributable to the $17,146 net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, a $685,165 increase in accounts receivable, a $218,564 increase in inventories, a $131,218 decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $132,087 increase in accounts payable, and a $95,865 increase in other current liabilities. The changes in receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses and accounts payable primarily reflect differences in the timing related to both the payments for and the acquisition of inventories as well as for other services in connection with ongoing efforts related to Andrea’s various product lines.

The cash used in investing activities of $23,368 reflects a $9,370 capital expenditure associated with molds for our Andrea Anti Noise Headset business line and $13,998 of patents and trademarks expenditures associated with intellectual property for both our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software and Andrea Anti Noise Headset business lines.

The net cash used in financing activities of $9,144 reflects payments of our capital leases associated with communication related equipment.

We plan to continue to improve our cash flows during 2006 by examining opportunities for cost reduction, production efficiencies and further diversification of our business. Additionally we will be aggressively pursuing 1) existing sales opportunities in our Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Products market, 2) existing and prospective opportunities to sell our Superbeam Array Microphone generated through our co-marketing efforts with Analog in the personal computing market, 3) opportunities in the video and audio conferencing market and 4) the automotive (in-vehicle computing) market. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully execute the aforementioned plans. As of November 3, 2006, Andrea has approximately $150,000 (unaudited) of cash and cash equivalents. During 2005, we utilized approximately $400,000 in cash. This cash balance included net lease termination cash expenditures of approximately $210,000, rent expense under our previous operating lease of approximately $150,000 partially offset by the settlement reached with the current owner of the Company’s former building in Long Island City to release approximately $110,000 of funds held in escrow. As a result, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity available to continue in operation through at least September 2007. To the extent that we do not generate sufficient cash flows from our operations in 2006, additional financing might be required. Although we are improving cash flows by reducing overall expenses, if our revenues decline, these reductions may impede our ability to be cash flow positive and our net income or loss may be disproportionately affected. We have no commitment for additional financing and may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any financing we obtain may contain covenants that restrict our freedom to operate our business or may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock and may dilute our current shareholders’ ownership interest in Andrea. We cannot assure that demand will continue for any of our products, including future products related to our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software technologies, or, that if such demand does exist, that we will be able to obtain the necessary working capital to increase production and provide marketing resources to meet such demand on favorable terms, or at all.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Andrea’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Andrea’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Andrea’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that all control issues and instance of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Andrea’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.
