The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The expected life is based on observed and expected time to post-vesting exercise. The expected forfeiture rate is based on past experience and employee retention data. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed. The forfeiture rate was revised in the quarter ended December 31, 2010, from 20% to 10%, and a cumulative adjustment of $6,478 was recorded in thisthat period.

Since the Company has a net operating loss carryforward as of DecemberMarch 31, 2010,2011, no excess tax benefit for the tax deductions related to share-based awards was recognized for the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20102011 and 2009.2010.

The 2011 Warrants are exercisable from August 4, 2011 through February 4, 2016. The fair value of the 2011 Warrants, which was recorded as an offset to the proceeds from the exercise of the 2006 Warrants, was estimated to be $2,164,773 using a Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a 5.0 year expected life, a volatility of 88.5%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.26% and no expected forfeitures or dividend yield.

The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Warrant Holders. Under this agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file, within 30 days following the issuance of the 2011 Warrants, a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2011 Warrants.

13.14. INCOME (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of the outstanding options and warrants are used to repurchase common stock at market value. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s losses forIn addition, under the three months ended December 31, 2010 causetreasury stock method, the inclusion of potential common stock instruments outstanding tooptions and warrants with an exercise price greater than the per share market value, would be antidilutive. Potential common shares that would be antidilutive are excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share.

Overview

We are a pioneer of highly intelligible, high clarity directed sound technologies and products. We aggressively seek to create markets for our products, and we are increasing our focus on and investment in worldwide sales and marketing activities while we continue to innovate.

In the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2010,2011, we had revenues of $2,205,389$15,503,075 compared to $5,250,068$3,302,485 in the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2009. While2010. The strong revenue growth resulted from the delivery of a $12.1 million shipment to a foreign military customer. The agreement with this customer also includes an annual maintenance contract which will begin in the quarter ended June 2012 and continue for seven years. The total value of this seven year maintanance contract is $5.5 million. Gross margin for the quarter was also strong at 70% of net revenues, werebut we incurred incremental commission expense for our sales partner related to the foreign military contract in the amount of $3,062,000. We have had lower than expected duringorders from the quarter,U.S. Military due to delays in finalizing the fiscal 2011 U.S. budget, but we had $12.8 million backorder as of December 31, 2010, which is scheduledexpect this to shipimprove in the second fiscal quarterhalf of 2011, and provide a basis for a strong start to the fiscal year. Mostyear with final approval of the backorder is driven by a large orderfiscal 2011 U.S. budget received from a foreign military in September 2010.April 2011. On a quarter over quarter basis, our revenues are expected to remain uneven, but our overall year over year revenue trend continues to improve. Operating expenses continue to be favorable compared to prior year amounts.

In fiscal 2008, we completed the developmentredesign and redevelopment of our LRAD product and introduced our current generation of LRAD products called the LRAD-X. Our LRAD-X product line uses directionality and focused acoustic output to clearly transmit critical information, instructions and warnings 1,500 meters and beyond. The LRAD-X product line features improved voice intelligibility and is available in a number of packages that meet the military’s stringent environmental requirements in a number of packages and form factors. Through the use of powerful voice commands and deterrent tones, large safety zones can be created while determining the intent and influencing the behavior of a potential intruder. Our LRAD-X product line provides a complete range of systems from single user portable to permanently installed, remotely operated infrastructure production. Our LRAD products have been competitively selected over other commercially available systems by the U.S. and certain foreign military. Our LRAD-X product line includes the following:

During 2010, we developed two variations to our product line, the LRAD 300Xi and LRAD 1000Xi. These products have fully-integrated electronics and offer our customers a flexible option to our remotely-controlled LRAD 300X and LRAD 1000X. In 2010 and 2011, we have and will continue to focus on product cost reductions, feature enhancements and customized applications of existing products, and increased product certifications. We believe these products provide increased opportunities in government and commercial markets and allow our continued leadership in this market. We intend to continue to innovate during fiscal 2011 with consistent levels of expenditures for research and development.

Overall Business Outlook

In fiscal 2011, we anticipate our revenues will continue to grow,strong growth over the fiscal 2010, primarily due to the increased global acceptance of our LRAD products, and a stronger sales channel. We believe we have a solid technology and product foundation for business growth. We are experiencing positive responseresponses to our expanding LRAD-X product line. We have strong market opportunities within the government, military and commercial maritime sectors due to increasing terrorist and piracy activity and growing global unrest. We are also experiencing growing interest from wind farms and mining operations with wildlife safety and control issues. Our selling network has expanded to include a number of key integrators and sales representatives within the United States and in a number of worldwide locations. However, we face challenges in fiscal 2011 due to international market conditions that continue to severely restrict credit and disrupt major economies, as well as uncertainty within the U.S. budgeting process and restrictions that may be placed on government spending. As of February 2, 2011, theThe fiscal 2011 U.S. budget haswas not been approved until April 2011 and project spendingit is slowed.unknown how the fiscal 2012 U.S. budget will be affected. A further or continued deterioration in financial markets and confidence in major economies, or continued delays in approval of the U.S. budgetgovernment spending could negatively impact the expected continued growth of our business.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified a number of accounting policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These are described in our consolidated financial statements located in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed below and throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
