AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2004 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: ION Networks, Inc ("ION" or the "Company") designs, develops, manufactures and sells infrastructure security and management products to corporations, service providers and government agencies. The Company's hardware and software products are designed to form a secure auditable portal to protect IT and network infrastructure from internal and external security threats. ION's infrastructure security solution operates in the IP, data center, and telephony environments and is sold by a direct sales force and indirect channel partners mainly throughout North America and Europe. The condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2004, the condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (Consolidated), have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to make the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2004 and 2003 not misleading have been made. The results of operation for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 are not indicative of a full year or any other interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes there to included in the report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2004 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $43,649,546 and working capital of $77,294. The Company also realized a net loss of $322,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. While the Company's cash position has improved from $357,711at December 31,2003 to $480,670 on March 31,2004, it continues to experience a shortfall in the cash necessary to expand operations. Management and the board of directors are exploring various alternatives to secure funding necessary to meet its cash requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. NOTE 2. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2003 include the accounts of ION Networks, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") and have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company ceased the operation of its subsidiaries. Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock Basic net loss per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share when their inclusion would be antidilutive. A reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- Weighted average shares 22,740,500 23,512,668 outstanding, basic Conversion of preferred stock to common stock 1,668,350 1,669,868 ---------- ---------- Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted* 24,408,850 25,182,536 ========== ========== * Since there was a loss attributable to common shareholders in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the basic weighted average shares outstanding were used in calculating diluted loss per share, as inclusion of the incremental shares shown in this calculation would be antidilutive. Potential common shares of 6,247,380 and 1,669,868 for the three months ending March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. 7 Stock Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principals Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and comply with the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" as amended by SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," issued in December 2002. Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, generally on the date of grant, between the fair value of our stock and the exercise price of the option. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employee vendors in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees from Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services". All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the date on which the counter party's performance is complete. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation costs based on the fair value at the date of grant for awards for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share would have increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below: For the Three Months Ended March 31, ----------------------------- 2004 2003 ----------- ----------- Net loss As reported $ (322,808) $ (874,912) Deduct: Stock based employee compensation determined under the fair value methods 44,968 333,803 ----------- ----------- Pro forma net loss $ (367,776) $(1,208,715) =========== =========== Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock As reported $ (0.01) $ (0.04) Pro forma $ (0.02) $ (0.05) Warranty Costs The Company estimates its warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience. Future costs for warranties applicable to sales recognized in the current period are charged to cost of sales. The warranty accrual is reviewed quarterly to reflect the remaining obligation. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates. The warranty accrual included in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2004 approximated $48,000. 8 NOTE 3 - INVENTORY: Inventory, net of allowance for obsolescence of $177,477 at March 31, 2004, consists of the following: Raw materials 72,399 Work-in-progress 37,460 Finished goods 413,958 ---------- $ 523,817 ========== NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: During the quarter ending March 31, 2004, Kam Saifi, former President and Chief Executive Officer, agreed to a final separation agreement from the Company. The Company agreed to accept as full payment for all indebtedness owed to the Company by Mr. Saifi the return of 2,000,000 common shares of Company stock and Mr. Saifi released the Company from any obligations which may have arisen from the separation of Mr. Saifi from the Company. The Company has not been successful as of the date of this filing to negotiate a final agreement with Cameron Saifi, former Chief Operating Officer, relating to his separation and termination of his employment agreement and his indebtedness to the Company. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OVERVIEW ION Networks, Inc. (the "Company"), designs, develops, manufactures and sells infrastructure security and management products to corporations, service providers and government agencies. The Company's hardware and software products are designed to form a secure auditable portal to protect IT and network infrastructure from internal and external security threats. ION's products operate in the IP, data center, telecommunications and transport, and telephony environments and are sold by a direct sales force and indirect channel partners mainly throughout North America and Europe. The Company is a Delaware corporation founded in 1999 through the combination of two companies - MicroFrame ("MicroFrame"), a New Jersey Corporation (the predecessor entity to the Company, originally founded in 1982), and SolCom Systems Limited ("SolCom"), a Scottish corporation located in Livingston, Scotland (originally founded in 1994). The Company liquidated operations in Scotland during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 Net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, was $904,961 compared to net sales of $765,119 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $139,842 or 18.2%. The increase in sales is primarily attributable to a moderate improvement in the economic environment of the telecommunications industry. Cost of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 was $297,152 compared to $243,988 for the same period in 2003. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased to 32.8% from 31.9% for the same period in 2003, resulting therefore in gross margins decreasing to 67.2% from 68.1% as compared to the prior year. Research and development expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 was $120,269 compared to $137,399 for the same period in 2003 or a decrease of $17,130. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower capitalization costs during the three month period ended March 31, 2004 of $37,905 compared to $74,846 in the same period in 2003, offset in part by the Company's accrual for employee incentive compensation. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $712,537 compared to $1,026,703 for the same period in 2003, a decrease of $314,166. The decline in SG&A expenses are due primarily to reduced headcount from 31 at March 31,2003 to 21 on March 31,2004, sharply reduced executive compensation, steep reduction in facilities expenditures, including rent, sales & marketing and other overhead items. These reductions were partially offset by stock compensation expense for options granted during the three month period ended March 31, 2004 of $58,750. Depreciation and amortization expenses - amortization of capitalized software and depreciation of property and equipment was $115,728 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $234,115 in the same period in 2003. The decrease was due to a reduction of depreciable fixed assets, capitalized software and other intangibles subject to amortization in the three month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $322,808 and $874,912, respectfully for an improvement of $552,104 due to factors previously discussed. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $43,649,546 and working capital of $77,294. We also realized a net loss of $322,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. While the Company's cash position has improved from $357,711at December 31,2003 to $480,670 on March 31,2003, it continues to experience a shortfall in the working capital necessary to expand operations and further reduce indebtedness. Management and the board of directors are exploring various alternatives to secure funding necessary to meet previously mentioned cash requirements. Any future operations are dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing, and its ability to generate revenues sufficient to fund its operations. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its attempts to generate positive cash flows or raise sufficient capital essential to its survival. Additionally, even if the Company does raise operating capital, there can be no assurances that the net proceeds will be sufficient enough to enable it to develop its business to a level where it will generate profits and positive cash flows. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which 10 contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $189,463 compared to net cash used during the same period in 2003 of $505,442. The decrease in net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003, was primarily due to the reduction in net loss. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $42,950 compared to net cash provided by during the same period in 2003 of $50,854. This decrease of $93,804 was primarily due to the release of restricted cash of $125,700 during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and none in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Net cash used from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $23,554 compared to net cash used during the same period in 2003 of $24,868. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in this report. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. 11 PART II.

Mr. Saifi released the Company from any obligations which may have arisen from the separation of Mr. Saifi from the Company. 12 ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES. None. ITEM 4.

OTHER INFORMATION The Company anticipates that its 2004 annual meeting of stockholders will be held on Friday, August 27, 2004, commencing at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the Company's Headquarters at 120 Corporate Boulevard, South Plainfield, New Jersey, 07080.

The Company expects to mail its annual report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2003 along with the notice of, and proxy statement for, the 2004 annual meeting on or about July 15, 2004.

In addition, in light of the foregoing and in accordance with Rules 14a-5(e)(2) and 14a-5(f) under the Exchange Act, in order for stockholder proposals submitted outside of Rule 14a-8 in connection with the Company's 2004 annual meeting to be considered "timely" for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received by the Company at its principal offices no later than June 15, 2004. If a proposal is received after June 15, 2004, the proxies designated by the Board of Directors of the Company will have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal under circumstances consistent with the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
