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.

Overview

We are a pioneer of highly intelligible, long range directed sound technologies and products. We aggressively seek to create markets for our products, and we are increasing our focus and investment in worldwide sales and marketing activities as we also continue to invest in product development.

In the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2011,2012, we had revenues of $3,611,635$2,400,441 compared to $2,205,389$15,503,075 in the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2010.2011. The quarter ended March 31, 2011 included some strategicdelivery of a $12.1 million order to a foreign military customer, which was not repeated in the current year. We continue to pursue global opportunities, but orders into growing markets, including perimeter security of critical infrastructure for the City of Fort Worth, TX, support for disaster response for the flooding in Thailand, and a follow-on order for bird preservation at an international mining site. In addition, we delivered the balance of an order from the U.S. Navy that we receivedhave been slow due to government year-end funding.military budget constraints. Gross margin for the quarter improved to 48%was 55% of net revenues, compared to 45%70% of net revenues for the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2010, due to increased fixed overhead absorption due to2011, which was driven by higher revenues, partially offset by costs related to amortization of prepaid expenses to support ourmargins on the foreign military repair and maintenance service contract for products sold under this contract shippedorder, which also resulted in fiscal 2011.a large commission payment of $3,062,000 in operating expenses. On a quarter over quarter basis, our revenues are expected to remain uneven, while our overall year over year revenue trend continues to improve.uneven.

In fiscal 2008, we completed the redesign and redevelopment of our LRAD product and introduced our current generation of products called LRAD-X.

10

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 improvedclear voice intelligibility and is available in a number of packages and form factors that meet the military’s stringent military environmental requirements. 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 potential security threats. Our LRAD-X product line provides a complete range of systems from single user portable to permanently installed, remotely operated. In fiscal 2011, we added wireless capability to our LRAD 100X product. Our LRAD products have been competitively selected over other commercially available systems by U.S. and several foreign militaries. Our LRAD-X product line includes the following:

aiming and tracking. LRAD-RX can also be integrated with radar to provide automated intruder alerts. Because of its automated capabilities, LRAD-RX reduces manpower requirements and false alarms while providing an intelligent, cost-effective security solution.

We continueIn the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we received our first order for the newly developed LRAD 360^o product, which is designed with 360 degree directionality to focus on product cost reductions, feature enhancementsprovide features needed for mass notification and customizedemergency warning capabilities. The LRAD 360^o is targeted for market applications of existing products,including campus, border and increased product certifications. We believe these products provide increased opportunities in government, militaryperimeter security, tsunami, hurricane and commercial marketstornado warnings, bird safety and allow our continued leadership in this market. We intend to continue to enhance our existing product offeringscontrol, and continue to develop new products during fiscal 2012 with consistent levels of expenditures for research and development.asset protection.

Overall Business Outlook

We continue to experience positive responses to our expanding LRAD-X product line and increased global acceptance of our LRAD products. We believe we have a solid technology and product foundation for business growth. 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. We have continued to strengthen our selling network through the addition of in-house business development talent as well as key integrators and sales representatives within the United StatesU.S. and in a number of worldwide locations. However, we continue to face challenges in fiscal 2012 due to international market conditions that severely restrict credit and disrupt major economies, as well as uncertainty within the U.S. government budgeting process and restrictions that may be placed on military spending. A further or continued deterioration in financial markets and confidence in major economies, continued delays in U.S. government spending or extended reductions in military 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, 2011. 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,U.S., 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.
