ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
NB Telecom, Inc. was originally incorporated as NB Payphones, Inc. on November 16, 1999 under the laws of Pennsylvania. On April 29, 2000, all our outstanding shares of common stock were purchased by USIP, and we operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of USIP. On March 23, 2006, the corporate domicile of NB Payphones, Inc. was migrated to Nevada, and our name was changed to NB Telecom, Inc. On August 24, 2007 all our common stock was spun off to the shareholders of USIP, and since the spin-off we have been an independent company and we are no longer a subsidiary of USIP.
SMART PAYPHONE TECHNOLOGY
Our payphones utilize smart technology which provides oral calling instructions, detects and counts coins deposited during each call, informs the caller at certain intervals of the time remaining on each call, identifies the need for and the amount of an additional deposit in order to continue the call, and provides other functions associated with the completion of calls. Through the use of programmable memory chips, the payphones can also be programmed and reprogrammed from our central computer facilities to update rate information or to direct different types of calls to particular carriers. Our payphones can also distinguish coins by size and weight, report to our central host computer the total amount of coin in the coin box, perform self-diagnosis and automatically report problems to a pre-programmed service number.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
The technology we use enables us to (i) respond quickly to equipment malfunctions and (ii) maintain accurate records of payphone activity, which can be verified by customers. We strive to minimize downtime on our payphones by identifying service problems as quickly as possible. We employ both advanced telecommunications technology and trained field technicians as part of our commitment to provide superior customer service. The records generated through our technology also allow for more timely and accurate payment of commissions to Location Owners.
OPERATIONS
As of December 31, 2007, we owned and operated approximately 97 payphones in Pennsylvania.
COIN CALLS
Our payphones generate coin revenues primarily from local calls. Historically, the maximum rate that could be charged for local calls was generally set by state regulatory authorities and in most cases was $0.25 through October 6, 1997. We charge $0.35, and $0.50. In ensuring fair compensation for all calls, the FCC determined that local coin rates from payphones should be generally deregulated by October 7, 1997, but provided for possible modifications or exemptions from deregulation upon a detailed demonstration by an individual state that there are market failures within the state that would not allow market-based rates to develop. On July 1, 1997, a federal court issued an order that upheld the FCC's authority to deregulate local coin call rates. In accordance with the FCC's ruling and the court order, certain payphones owners, began to increase rates for local coin calls from $0.25 to $0.35.
Long distance carriers that have contracted to provide transmission services to our payphones typically carry long distance coin calls. We pay a charge to the long-distance carrier each time the carrier transports a long-distance call for which we receive coin revenue from an end user.
4
NON-COIN CALLS
We also receive revenue from non-coin calls made from our payphones. Traditional non-coin calls include credit card, calling card, prepaid calling card, collect and third party billed calls where the caller dials 0 plus the number or simply dials 0 for an operator. The services needed to complete a non-coin call include providing an automated or live operator to answer the call, verifying billing information, validating calling cards and credit cards, routing and transmitting the call to its destination, monitoring the call's duration and determining the charge for the call, and billing and collecting the applicable charge. We have contracted with operator service providers to handle these calls and perform all associated functions, while paying us a commission on the revenues generated.
REGULATIONS AND DIAL-AROUND COMPENSATION
On September 20, 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted rules, which became effective November 7, 1996, initially mandating dial-around compensation for both access code calls and 800 subscriber calls at a flat rate of $45.85 per payphone per month. Commencing October 7, 1997 and ending October 6, 1998 the $45.85 per payphone per month rate was to transition to a per-call system at the rate of $0.35 per call. Several parties challenged certain of the FCC regulations including the dial-around compensation rate. On July 1, 1997 a federal court vacated certain portions of the FCC's 1996 Payphone Order, including the dial-around compensation rate.
In accordance with the court's mandate, on October 9, 1997 the FCC adopted a second order, establishing a rate of $0.284 per call for the first two years of per-call compensation (October 7, 1997 through October 6, 1999). An inter-exchange Carriers (IXC) is a common carrier providing long distance connections between local telephone areas, and they include AT&T, MCI and Sprint. Under the 1997 Payphone Order IXC's were required to make the per-call payments to payphone service providers, beginning October 7, 1997. On May 15, 1998 the court again remanded the per-call compensation rate to the FCC for further explanation without vacating the $0.284 default rate.
On February 4, 1999 the FCC released a third order in which the FCC abandoned its efforts to derive a market based default dial-around compensation rate and instead adopted a cost based rate of $0.24 per dial-around call. This rate became effective on April 21, 1999 and served as a default rate through January 31, 2002.
In a decision released January 31, 2002 the FCC partially addressed the remaining issues concerning the true-up required for interim and intermediate period compensation. The FCC adjusted the per-call rate to $0.229, for the interim period only, to reflect a different method of calculating the delay in IXC payments to payphone services provider's (PSPs) for the interim period, and determined that the total interim period compensation should be $33.89 per payphone per month ($0.229 times an average of 148 calls per payphone per month). A payphone service provider is a Company that installs and monitors payphones. The 2002 Payphone Order deferred to a later order its determination of the allocation of this total compensation rate among the various carriers required to pay compensation for the interim period.
On October 23, 2002 the FCC released its Fifth Order on Reconsideration and Order on Remand, which resolved the remaining issues surrounding the interim/intermediate period true-up and specifically how monthly per-phone compensation owed to PSPs is to be allocated among the relevant dial-around carriers. The Interim Order also resolves how certain offsets to such payments will be handled and a host of other issues raised by parties in their remaining FCC challenges to the 1999 Payphone Order and the 2002 Payphone Order. In the Interim Order the FCC ordered a true up for the interim period and increased the adjusted monthly rate to $35.22 per payphone per month, to compensate for the three-month payment delay inherent in the dial-around payment system. The new rate of $35.22 per payphone per month is a composite rate, allocated among approximately five hundred carriers based on their estimated dial-around traffic during the interim period. The FCC also ordered true-up requiring PSPs, to refund an amount equal to $0.046 (the difference between the old $0.284 rate and the current $0.238 rate) to each carrier that compensated the PSP on a per-call basis during the intermediate period. Interest on additional payments and refunds is to be computed from the original payment date, at the IRS prescribed rate applicable to late tax payments. As of this date, dial around compensation to PSPs is $.49 per call. As a result of these dial around compensation rules, we received approximately $19,808 in dial-around compensation during 2007.
5
Our objectives are to continue to review our overall cost structure, improve route density and service quality, monitor and take action on our under performing telephones. We have implemented the following strategy to meet our objectives.
CUSTOMERS, SALES AND MARKETING
The Location Owners with whom we contract are a diverse group of small and medium sized businesses, which are frequented by individuals needing payphone access. The majority of our payphones are located at convenience stores, truck stops, service stations, grocery stores, colleges and hospitals.
Before we install a phone, we search for, and utilize historical revenue information about each payphone location. In locations where historical revenue information is not available, we rely on our site survey to examine geographic factors, population density, traffic patterns and other factors in determining whether to install a payphone. We recognize, however, that recent changes in payphone traffic volumes and usage patterns being experienced on an industry-wide basis warrant a continued assessment of the location and deployment of our payphones. Generally, we pay the phone line owners approximately $40 per month per phone line.
SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS
Our primary suppliers provide payphone components, local line access, long-distance transmission and operator services. To promote acceptance by end users accustomed to using RBOC or Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) owned payphone equipment, we utilize payphones designed to be similar in appearance and operation to payphones owned by LEC. A LEC is a local phone company, which can be either a call operating company or an integrated company which traditionally had the exclusive franchise rights and responsibilities to provide local transmission and switching services.
We purchase circuit boards from various manufacturers for repair and installation of our payphones. We primarily obtain local line access from various LECs, including Verizon, North Pittsburgh Telephone Co. and various other incumbent and competitive suppliers of local line access. Generally, we are charged approximately $40 per month per payphone, on the average, for local line access. New sources of local line access are expected to emerge as competition continues to develop in local service markets. Long-distance services are provided to our company by various long-distance and operator service providers, including AT&T, Qwest, ILD Telecommunications, Inc., and others.
We expect the basic availability of such products and services to continue in the future; however, the continuing availability of alternative sources cannot be assured. Although we are not aware of any current circumstances that would require us to seek alternative suppliers for any material portion of the products or services used in the operation of our business, transition from our existing suppliers, if necessary, could have a disruptive effect on our operations and could give rise to unforeseen delays and/or expenses.
ASSEMBLY AND REPAIR OF PAYPHONES
We assemble and repair payphone equipment for our use. The assembly of payphone equipment provides us with technical expertise used in the operation, service, maintenance and repair of our payphones. We assemble, refurbish or replace payphones from standard payphone components either obtained from our inventory or purchased from component manufacturers. These components include a metal case, an integrated circuit board incorporating a microprocessor, a handset and cord, and a coin box and lock. On the occasion when components are not available from inventory, we can purchase the components from several suppliers. We do not believe that the loss of any single supplier would have a material adverse effect on our assembly operations.
Our payphones comply with all material regulatory requirements regarding the performance and quality of payphone equipment and have all of the operating characteristics required by the applicable regulatory authorities, including free access to local emergency (911) telephone numbers, dial-around access to all available carriers, and automatic coin return capability for incomplete calls.
6
TECHNOLOGY
The payphone equipment we install makes use of microprocessors to provide voice prompted calling instructions, detect and count coin deposits during each call, inform the caller at certain intervals of the time remaining on each call, identify the need for and the amount of an additional deposit and other functions associated with completion of calls. Through the use of memory chips, our payphones can also be programmed and reprogrammed from our central computer facilities to update rate information or to direct different kinds of calls to particular carriers.
Our payphones can distinguish coins by size and weight, report to a remote location the total coins in the coin box, perform self-diagnosis and automatically report problems to a pre-programmed service number, and immediately report attempts at vandalism or theft. Many of our payphones operate on power available from the telephone lines, thereby avoiding the need for and reliance upon an additional power source at the installation location.
We provide all technical support required to operate the payphones, such as computers and software at our headquarters in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania. Our assembly and repair support provides materials, equipment, spare parts and accessories to maintain our payphones.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
No individual customer accounted for more than 5% of our consolidated revenues in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
COMPETITION
We compete for payphone locations directly with RBOCs, LECs and other IPPs. We also compete, indirectly, with long-distance companies, which can offer Location Owners commissions on long-distance calls made from LEC-owned payphones. We compete with LECs and long-distance companies who may have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources.
We believe that our principal competition is from providers of wireless communications services for both local and long distance traffic. Certain providers of wireless communication services have introduced rate plans that are competitively priced with certain of the products offered by us, and have negatively impacted the usage of payphones throughout the nation.
We believe that the competitive factors among payphone providers are (1) the commission payments to a Location Owner, (2) the ability to serve accounts with locations in several LATAs or states, (3) the quality of service and the availability of specialized services provided to a Location Owner and payphone users, and (4) responsiveness to customer service needs. We believe that we are currently competitive in each of these areas.
Additionally, a number of domestic IPPs continue to experience financial difficulties from various competitive and regulatory factors impacting the pay telephone industry generally, which may impair their ability to compete prospectively. We believe that these circumstances create an opportunity for us to obtain new location agreements and reduced site commissions going forward, however, this may not occur. There are no guarantees that we will be able to obtain new location agreements that are advantageous to our company. Also, in view of this competitive environment, we will seek opportunities to maximize shareholder value through acquisitions, and mergers with other companies and businesses that present attractive opportunities for us.
We compete with long-distance carriers that provide dial-around services that can be accessed through our payphones. Certain national long-distance operator service providers and prepaid calling card providers have implemented extensive advertising promotions and distribution schemes which have increased dial-around activity on payphones owned by LECs and IPPs, including our company, thereby reducing traffic to our primary providers of long-distance service. While we do receive compensation for dial-around calls placed from our payphones, regulatory efforts are underway to improve the collection system and provide us with the ability to collect that portion of dial-around calls that are owed.

OUR EMPLOYEES
Our President, Paul Kelly, is our only full time employee. In addition, we also hire advisers and temporary employees on an as needed basis. We may, from time to time, supplement our regular work force as necessary with temporary and contract personnel. We have no part-time employees at this time. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe we have a good relationship with our employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
UNLESS WE CAN REVERSE OUR HISTORY OF LOSSES, WE MAY HAVE TO DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS.
If we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability, or if operating losses increase in the future, we may not be able to remain a viable company and may have to discontinue operations. Our expenses have historically exceeded our revenues and we have had losses in all fiscal years of operation, including those in fiscal years 2006 through 2007, and the losses are projected to continue in 2008. Our net losses were $183,124 and $110,321 for fiscal years ended 2006 and 2007 respectively.
WE MAY NOT SUCCEED OR BECOME PROFITABLE.
We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability and we may be unable to do so. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability in the future. We expect that our expenses will continue to increase and there is no guarantee that we will not experience operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for this fiscal year or for the foreseeable future. If we do not achieve or sustain profitability, then we may be unable to continue our operations.
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL FINANCING IN THE FUTURE.
We may be required to seek additional financing in the future to respond to increased expenses or shortfalls in anticipated revenues, accelerate product development and deployment, respond to competitive pressures, develop new or enhanced products, or take advantage of unanticipated acquisition opportunities. We cannot be certain we will be able to find such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when needed, we could be required to modify our business plan in accordance with the extent of available financing.
IF WE ENGAGE IN ACQUISITIONS, WE MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND DIFFICULTY ASSIMILATING THE OPERATIONS OR PERSONNEL OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES, WHICH COULD THREATEN OUR FUTURE GROWTH.
If we make any acquisitions, we could have difficulty assimilating the operations, technologies and products acquired or integrating or retaining personnel of acquired companies. In addition, acquisitions may involve entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience. The occurrence of any one or more of these factors could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition, pursuing acquisition opportunities could divert our managements attention from our ongoing business operations and result in decreased operating performance. Moreover, our profitability may suffer because of acquisition-related costs or amortization of acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Furthermore, we may have to incur debt or issue equity securities in future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities would dilute our existing stockholders.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OR MAY BE SUED BY THIRD PARTIES FOR INFRINGEMENT OF THEIR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
The telecommunications industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent litigation based on allegations of trade secret, copyright or patent infringement. We may inadvertently infringe a patent of which we are unaware. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be a patent application now pending of which we are unaware that will cause us to be infringing when it is issued in the future. If we make any acquisitions, we could have similar problems in those industries. Although we are not currently involved in any intellectual property litigation, we may be a party to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property or as a result of our alleged infringement of anothers intellectual property, forcing us to do one or more of the following:
9
Cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
Obtain from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not be available on reasonable terms; or
Redesign those products or services that incorporate such technology.
A successful claim of infringement against us, and our failure to license the same or similar technology, could adversely affect our business, asset value or stock value. Infringement claims, with or without merit, would be expensive to litigate or settle, and would divert management resources.
BECAUSE OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE INDEMNIFIED AGAINST CERTAIN LOSSES, WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH LITIGATION.
If our directors or officers become exposed to liabilities invoking the indemnification provisions, we could be exposed to additional unreimbursable costs, including legal fees. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that our directors and officers will not be liable to us or to any shareholder and will be indemnified and held harmless for any consequences of any act or omission by the directors and officers unless the act or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. Extended or protracted litigation could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow.
WE WILL DEPEND ON OUTSIDE MANUFACTURING SOURCES AND SUPPLIERS.
We may contract with third party manufacturers to produce our products and we will depend on third party suppliers to obtain the raw materials necessary for the production of our products. We do not know what type of contracts we will have with such third party manufacturers and suppliers. In the event we outsource the manufacture of our products, we will have limited control over the actual production process. Moreover, difficulties encountered by any one of our third party manufacturers, which result in product defects, delayed or reduced product shipments, cost overruns or our inability to fill orders on a timely basis, could have an adverse impact on our business. Even a short-term disruption in our relationship with third party manufacturers or suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do not intend to maintain an inventory of sufficient size to protect ourselves for any significant period of time against supply interruptions, particularly if we are required to obtain alternative sources of supply.
THE REPORT OF OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS INDICATES UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This may impair our ability to implement our business plan, and we may never achieve significant revenues and therefore remain a going concern.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS.
As part of our business strategy, we may make acquisitions of, or investments in, companies, businesses, products or technologies. Any such future acquisitions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in such acquisitions. Those risks include, among other things:
- the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies,
- the potential disruption of our business or business plan,
- the diversion of resources from our existing businesses, and products,
- the inability of management to integrate acquired businesses or assets into our business plan, and
- additional expense associated with acquisitions.
10
We may not be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with such acquisitions, and our inability to overcome such risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES WITHOUT STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL COULD DILUTE STOCKHOLDERS.
We currently have approximately 49,632,222 Shares of common stock outstanding. There are currently no other material plans, agreements, commitments or undertakings with respect to the issuance of additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock. Additional shares could be issued in the future, and the result of the issuance of additional shares would be to further dilute the percentage ownership of our common stock held by our stockholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS POWER TO ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK, COULD DILUTE THE OWNERSHIP OF EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS AND THIS MAY INHIBIT POTENTIAL ACQUIRES OF THE COMPANY.
Our articles of organization grant the board of directors the power to issue preferred stock with terms and conditions, including voting rights that they deem appropriate. The exercise of the discretion of the board to issue preferred stock and/or common stock could dilute the ownership rights and the voting rights of current shareholders. In addition, this power could be used by the Board to inhibit potential acquisitions by a third party.
THE ADVENT OF WIRELESS PHONES HAS LESSENED THE DEMAND FOR PAYPHONES.
The proliferation of wireless phones has significantly reduced the demand for payphones and we expect that trend to continue. Certain rate plans that provide unlimited long distance service and calling fees that are fixed or minimal have and are expected to continue to negatively affect our revenues and opportunity for growth.
DIAL AROUND SERVICES.
We compete with long distance carriers that provide dial around services that can be accessed through our payphones. The popularity of these services is increasing, and the use of these services reduces the fees we receive for long distance calls placed from our phones.
WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial conditions, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant. Shareholders must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. If our common stock does not appreciate in value, or if our common stock loses value, our stockholder may lose some or all of their investment in our shares.
We utilize the office of our president on a rent free basis, and therefore we have no lease. Our tangible property consists of office equipment, inventory and supplies for repairing and replacing our payphones that are in service. This property is located in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania.

- | contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and |
- | state other "forward-looking" information. |
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors," "Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Risk Factors."

Organization and Basis of Presentation
We are currently a provider of both privately owned and company owned payphones (COCOTs) and stations in Pennsylvania. The Company receives revenues from the collection of the payphone coinage, a portion of usage of service from each payphone and a percentage of long distance calls placed from each payphone from the telecommunications service providers. In addition, the Company also receives revenues from the service and repair of privately owned payphones, sales of payphone units and the sales of prepaid phone cards.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change, and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our consolidated balance sheet, and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods, are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructurings, inventory and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition Policies
The Company derives its primary revenue from the sources described below, which includes dial around revenues, coin collections, and telephone equipment repairs and sales. Other revenues generated by the company include, phone card sales, and commissions.
Dial around revenues are generated from calls to gain access to a different long distance carrier than is already programmed into the phone. Revenues from dial around calls are recorded based upon estimates until the coin collection revenues are generated when callers deposit coins into the phones to make calls. Coin revenues are recorded in an amount equal to the coins collected. Revenues on commissions, phone card sales, and telephone equipment repairs and sales are realized when the services are provided.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
Revenues
Our total revenue increased by $8,177 or approximately 13%, from $63,114 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to $71,291 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase of dial around revenue.
Our commissions increased by $1,241 or approximately 23.2%, from $5,350 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to $6,591 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to an increase in long distance phone calls derived from advertisements on our network of payphones.
Our coin call revenues decreased by $1,301 or approximately 14.1%, from $9,217 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to $7,916 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in coin call revenue was primarily attributable to the reduced number of payphones we operated coupled with the increased competition from wireless communication services. We reduced our network of payphones approximately 25%.
Our non-coin call revenue, which is comprised primarily of dial-around revenue increased $8,089 approximately 69% from $11,719 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to $19,808 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in toll free calling more customers were making 800 calls during this time period.
13
Service & Repair Sales increased by $148 when compared to the same period in 2006.
Cost of Revenues
Our overall cost of sales decreased in the twelve months ending December 31, 2007 by $32,493 or approximately 33.8% when compared to the twelve months ending December 31, 2006. This decrease in our overall cost is primarily due to assets being fully depreciated in 2007.
Our telecommunication costs decreased by $8,270 when compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease is primarily attributable to fewer payphones.
Depreciation expense decreased by $23,672 when compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease is due to certain assets being fully depreciated.
Our cost of sales for repairs, service, travel and supplies decreased by $551 a direct result of the management teams ongoing efforts to reduce cost.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by $49,133 or approximately 33.4% over the same period in 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in rent due to an allocation entry made with a related party in prior year that was not made in current year.
Salaries and related payroll taxes decreased by $13,988 when compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to a decrease in salary to one employee.
Our insurance expense decreased by $4,343 when compared to the same fiscal period 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to an allocation entry made with a related party in prior year that was not made in current year.
Rent decreased by $31,522 when compared to 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to an allocation entry made with a related party in prior year that was not made in current year.
Professional fees increased by $6,531 over 2006. These are fees we pay to accountants and attorneys throughout the year for performing various tasks.
Our telephone, utilities, office, and vehicle expenses, together account for a decrease of $6,343 when compared to the same period ending December 31, 2006.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 to $23,185 from $2,983 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was due to more interest-rate debt.
Net Loss from Operations
We had net loss of $110,321 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to a net loss after taxes of $183,124 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. This decrease was due to a decrease in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance the costs of our operations.
14
As of December 31, 2007, we had $0 cash on hand, compared to $0 as of December 31, 2006.
We believe that we will continue to need investing and financing activities to fund operations.
Net cash used in operating activities was $58,597 during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007, mainly representative of the net loss incurred during 2007. This compares to net cash used in operating activities of $15,258 for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 3006.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $6,160 during twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007, mainly representing the proceeds received from the sale of equipment. This compares to net cash provided by investing activities of $0 for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006.
Net cash provided by financial activities was $52,438 during twelve-month period ended December 30, 2007, mainly representing the proceeds from related party notes. This compares to net cash provided by financing activities of $12,967 for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006 due to proceeds from related party notes of $11,615.
Our expenses to date are largely due to professional fees and the cost of sales for telephone communication costs.
We believe that our results of operations will provide us with the necessary funds to satisfy our liquidity needs for the next 12 months. To the extent they are not, however, our principal stockholders have agreed to fund our operations for the next twelve-month period and beyond.
Working Capital
As of December 31, 2007, we had total assets of $7,174 and total liabilities of $260,462, which results in working deficit of $(253,288) as compared to total assets of $10,866 and total liabilities of $303,876 resulting in a working deficit of $(293,010) as of December 31, 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
NB Telecom, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NB Telecom, Inc as of December 31, 2007, and 2006, and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, and the statement of stockholders equity since for the years ended December 31, 2007 and. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NB Telecom, Inc as of December 31, 2007, and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of approximately $760,000, has a liquidity problem, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NB TELECOM, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
NB Telecom, Inc. (the Company) was originally incorporated as NB Payphones Ltd. under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania on November 16, 1999. On December 27, 2005 we migrated our state of organization to the state of Nevada and effective March 23, 2006, our name changed to NB Telecom, Inc.
Nature of Business
NB Telecom, Inc. is currently a provider of both privately owned and company owned payphones (COCOTs) and stations in Pennsylvania. The Company receives revenues from the collection of the payphone coinage, a portion of usage of service from each payphone and a percentage of long distance calls placed from each payphone from the telecommunications service providers. In addition, the Company also receives revenues from the service and repair of privately owned payphones, sales of payphone units and the sales of prepaid phone cards.
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplates the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has a retained deficit of approximately $760,000. The company has a current ratio of .028 for the period ended December 31, 2007, and has a deficit in stockholders equity. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional capital as well as additional revenue to be successful in its planned activity. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its minimal operating expenses. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Companys operating and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the going concern assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.
If the Company were unable to continue as a going concern, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of accounting policies for NB Telecom, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Companys payphones are located primarily in Pennsylvania and usage of those phones may be affected by economic conditions in those areas. The company has experienced about a 30% drop in revenues, due to increased competition from other payphone providers and increase usage of wireless communications.
The Company maintains cash balances with a financial institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. There are no uninsured balances at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents for purposes of classification in the balance sheets and statement of cash flows. Cash and Cash equivalents consists of cash in bank (checking) accounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when the determination is made. Bad debt expense was $2,398 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to seven years.

Financial Instruments
The Companys financial assets and liabilities consist of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable. Except as otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the sort-term maturities of these instruments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are recognized using the asset and liability method by applying tax rates to cumulative temporary differences based on when and how they are expected to affect the tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for income tax rate changes.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2006 financial statements to conform to the December 31, 2007 presentation
Net (Loss) per Common Share
Net loss per common share has been calculated by taking the net loss for the current period and dividing by the weighted average shares outstanding at the end of the period. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its primary revenue from the sources described below, which includes dial around revenues, coin collections, and telephone equipment repairs and sales. Other revenues generated by the company include, phone card sales, and commissions.
Dial around revenues are generated from calls to gain access to a different long distance carrier than is already programmed into the phone. Revenues from dial around calls are recorded based upon estimates until the coin collection revenues are generated when callers deposit coins into the phones to make calls. Coin revenues are recorded in an amount equal to the coins collected. Revenues on commissions, phone card sales, and telephone equipment repairs and sales are realized when the services are provided.

Expense Allocation
The Company was part of a consolidated entity, USIP.Com, Inc until the effective date of the spin off of August 24, 2007. Expenses related to Insurance, Rent and Professional Fees were allocated proportionately to their business activities. The allocation was determined by the percentage of total expenses per each company to total expenses per the consolidated. Then the Insurance, Rent and Professional Fees were allocated to the companies based on this allocation percentage. The Company felt this was the best indication of operations done by the company. At the year ending December 31, 2006, the total expenses incurred by USIP.com was $88,415. NB Telecom recorded extra expenses per the allocation of $25,605 for the year ended December 31, 2006. There was no allocation required during 2007.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award. Prior to June 1, 2006, the company accounted for awards granted to employees under its equity incentive plans under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations, and provided the required pro forma disclosures prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended. No stock options were granted to employees during the years ended December 31, 2006, and 2005 and accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized under APB No. 25 for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006. In addition, no compensation expense is recognized under provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) with respect to employees as no stock options where granted to employees.
Under the modified prospective method of adoption for SFAS No. 123 (R), the compensation cost recognized by the company beginning on June 1, 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted prior to, but not vested as of June 1, 2006, based on the grant-dated fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted subsequent to June 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No, 123 (R). The company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation costs over the service period of the award. Upon exercise, cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of stock options, or upon vesting or forfeiture of restricted stock units, deferred tax assets for options and restricted stock units with multiple vesting dates are eliminated for each vesting period on a first-in, first-out basis as if each vesting period was a separate award. To calculate the excess tax benefits available for use in offsetting future tax shortfalls as of the dated of implementation, the company followed the alternative transition method discussed in FASB Staff Position No. 123 (R)-3. During the periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, no stock

options were granted to non-employees. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized for new stock option grants in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Recent Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS no, 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financials assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The FASB has indicated it believes that SFAS 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS 157 and SFA No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2008. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" (SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Companys financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R). SFAS 141(R) provides companies with principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as well as the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R) also requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Companys financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. (SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Companys financial statements.

Note 3 Uncertain Tax Provisions
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the companys financial position and results of operations. At January 1, 2007, the company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of related interest.
Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as Interest expense, net in the accompanying statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized $0 of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits during 2007. In many cases the companys uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities.
With few exceptions, the company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of January 1, 2007:

The Company has a note payable with Joseph Passalaqua, Secretary of the Company. This note has a due date of May 31, 2008 and carries an interest of 15%. A new note payable was issued January 27, 2007 and carries interest of 10%. Another new note was issued November 5, 2007 and carries interest of 10%. The outstanding principal on the notes was $57,200 and $10,000 as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The accrued interest was $4,574 and $584 as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Note 6. | Related Party Payable |
As of December 31, 2006 the Company had payables due to USIP.Com, Inc., in the amount of $143,588. As of December 31, 2007 the outstanding balance was converted to paid in capital.
As of December 31, 2006 the Company had a payable due to Datone, Inc., in the amount of $615. As of December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance was converted to paid in capital.
Note 7. | Commitments |
As of December 31, 2007, all activities of the Company have been conducted by corporate officers from either their homes or business offices. Currently, there are no outstanding debts owed by the company for the use of these facilities and there are no commitments for future use of the facilities.
Note 8. | Major Dial Around Compensation Providers (Commissions) |
During 2007, the Company received approximately 95% of total dial around and zero-plus compensation (commissions) from two providers. The loss of these providers would adversely impact the business of the Company.
Note 9. | Income Taxes |
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $397,997 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2025. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Companys disclosures controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Company's securities with the SEC on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on the Company's review of the copies of the forms received by it during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that no persons who, at any time during such fiscal year, was a director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company's common stock failed to comply with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal year.

We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions because we are not a member of any exchange that would require such a code.
Nominating Committee
We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.
Audit Committee
Our Board of Directors acts as our audit committee. We do not have a qualified financial expert at this time, because we have not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, we believe that we have inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert.
