PART I
Item 1. Description Of Business
General
We are an integrated communications provider offering integrated communications and Internet
connectivity to individuals, businesses, organizations, educational institutions and government
agencies. Through our subsidiaries, we provide high quality, reliable and scalable Internet access,
web hosting, equipment co-location and traditional telephone services. Our overall strategy is to
become the dominant integrated communications provider for residents and small to medium-sized
businesses in Oklahoma.
References to us in this Report include our subsidiaries: FullNet, Inc. (FullNet), FullTel,
Inc. (FullTel), and FullWeb, Inc. (FullWeb). Our principal executive offices are located at 201
Robert S. Kerr Avenue, Suite 210, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, and our telephone number is (405)
236-8200. We also maintain an Internet site on the World Wide Web (WWW) at www.fullnet.net.
Information contained on our Website is not, and should not be deemed to be, a part of this Report.
Company History
We were founded in 1995 as CEN-COM of Oklahoma, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, to bring
dial-up Internet access and education to rural locations in Oklahoma that did not have dial-up
Internet access. We changed our name to FullNet Communications, Inc. in December 1995, and shifted
our focus from offering dial-up services to providing wholesale and private label network
connectivity and related services to other Internet service providers. During 1995 and 1996, we
furnished wholesale and private label network connectivity services to Internet service providers.
In 1997 we continued our focus on being a backbone provider by upgrading and acquiring more
equipment. We also started offering our own Internet service provider brand access and services to
our wholesale customers. As of December 31, 2005, there was one Internet service provider in
Oklahoma that used the FullNet brand name for whom we provide the backbone to the Internet. There
was also one Internet service provider that used a private label brand name, for whom we are its
access backbone and provide on an outsource basis technical support, systems management and
operations. Additionally, we provide high-speed broadband connectivity, website hosting, network
management and consulting solutions to over 100 businesses in Oklahoma.
In 1998 our gross revenues exceeded $1,000,000 and we made the Metro Oklahoma City Top 50
Fastest Growing Companies list. In 1998 we commenced the process of organizing a competitive local
exchange carrier (CLEC) through FullTel, and acquired Animus Communications, Inc. (Animus), a
wholesale Web-service company, which enabled us to become a total solutions provider to individuals
and companies seeking a one-stop shop in Oklahoma. Animus was renamed FullWeb in January 2000.
With the incorporation of FullTel and the acquisition of FullWeb, our current business
strategy is to become the dominant integrated communications provider in Oklahoma, focusing on
rural areas. We expect to grow through the acquisition of additional customers for our
carrier-neutral co-location space, the acquisition of Internet service providers, as well as
through a FullNet brand marketing campaign. During 2000 and 2001, we completed eight separate
acquisitions of Internet service provider companies. We completed one acquisition of an Internet
service provider during 2004.
During February 2000, our common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol FULO. While our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is very thinly traded, and
there can be no assurance that our stockholders will be able to sell their shares should they so
desire. Any market for the common stock that may develop, in all likelihood, will be a limited one,
and if such a market does develop, the market price may be volatile.
We completed our network operations center during the first quarter of 2001. We market our
carrier neutral co-location solutions in our network operations center to other competitive local
exchange carriers, Internet service providers and web-hosting companies. Our co-location facility
is carrier neutral, allowing customers to choose among competitive offerings rather than being
restricted to one carrier. Our network operations center is Telco-grade and provides customers a
high level of operative reliability and security. We offer flexible space arrangements for
customers, 24-hour onsite support with both battery and generator backup.
Through FullTel, our wholly owned subsidiary, we are a fully licensed competitive local
exchange carrier or CLEC in Oklahoma. The FullTel data center telephone switching equipment was
installed in March 2003. At which time, FullTel began the process of activating local access
telephone numbers for the cities in which we will market, sell and operate our retail FullNet
4
Internet service provider brand; wholesale dial-up Internet service; our business-to-business
network design, connectivity, domain and Web hosting businesses; and traditional phone service. At
December 31, 2006 FullTel provided us with local telephone access in approximately 232 cities.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Our acquisition strategy is designed to leverage our existing network backbone and internal
operations to enable us to enter new markets in Oklahoma, as well as to expand our presence in
existing markets, and to benefit from economies of scale.
Our Business Strategy
As an integrated communications provider, we intend to increase shareholder value by
continuing to build scale through both acquisitions and internal growth and then leveraging
increased revenues over our fixed-costs base. Our strategy is to meet the customer service
requirements of retail, business, educational and government Internet users in our target markets,
while benefiting from the scale advantages obtained through being a fully integrated backbone and
broadband provider. The key elements of our overall strategy with respect to our principal business
operations are as follows:
Target Strategic Acquisitions
The goal of our acquisition strategy is to accelerate market penetration by acquiring Internet
service providers in Oklahoma communities and to acquire strategic Internet service providers in
Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Additionally, we will continue to build upon our core competencies and
expand our technical, customer service staff and sales force in Oklahoma communities. We evaluate
acquisition candidates based on their compatibility with our overall business plan of penetrating
rural and outlying markets as well as Oklahoma City and Tulsa. When a candidate is acquired, we
will integrate our existing Internet, network connectivity and value-added services with the
services offered by the acquired company and use either the local sales force or install our own
dealer sales force to continue to increase market share. The types of acquisitions targeted by us
include Internet service providers located in markets into which we want to expand or to which we
may already provide private-label Internet connectivity. Other types of targeted acquisitions
include local business-only Internet service providers in markets where we have established points
of presence and would benefit from the acquired companys local sale and network solutions sales
and technical staff and installed customer base through the potential increase in our network
utilization. When assessing an acquisition candidate, we focus on the following criteria:
o |
|
Potential revenue and subscriber growth; |
|
o |
|
Low subscriber turnover or churn rates; |
|
o |
|
Density in the market as defined by a high ratio of subscribers to points of presence (POPs); |
|
o |
|
Favorable competitive environment; |
|
o |
|
Low density network platforms that can be integrated readily into our backbone network; and |
|
o |
|
Favorable consolidation savings. |
Generate Internal Sales Growth
We intend to expand our customer base by increasing our marketing efforts. At December 31,
2006, our direct sales force consisted of one individual in our Oklahoma City office coordinating
all our business-to-business solutions sales. We currently have independent re-sellers responsible
for their individual markets. Our sales force is supported in its efforts by technical engineers
and our senior management. We intend to increase our phone directory advertising to include all
cities in which we provide local telephone access. In addition, we are exploring other strategies
to increase our sales, including other marketing partners such as electric cooperatives. We
currently have one of the 20 local Oklahoma electric cooperatives as a marketing partner.
Grow Subscriber Base
We intend to grow our subscriber base through a combination of internal and acquisition driven
growth. We anticipate that this growth will increase the density of our subscriber base within a
service area utilizing our available network operations, customer support, back office functions
and management overhead without further cost increase or with minimal cost increase. We expect our
local markets to generate internal subscriber growth primarily by enhancing subscribers online
experience, providing a sense of a national presence while maintaining local community content and
developing a consumer recognized regional FullNet brand.
Increase Rural Area Market Share
We believe that the rural areas of Oklahoma are underserved by Internet service providers, and
that significant profitable growth can be achieved in serving these markets by providing reliable
Internet connectivity at a reasonable cost to the residents
5
and businesses located in these areas. We believe we can obtain a significant Internet service
provider and business-to-business market share in Oklahoma. To that end, through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, FullTel, we became a licensed competitive local exchange carrier in Oklahoma. Since
March 2003 when we installed our telephone switch, FullTel, as a competitive local exchange
carrier, has provided local telephone numbers for Internet access.
Enhance Subscribers Online Experience
We intend to maximize our subscriber retention and add new subscribers by enhancing our
services in the following ways:
o Ease of Use During the first quarter of 2001, we implemented a common, easy to use CD-ROM
based software package that automatically configures all of the individual Internet access programs
after a one-time entry by the user of a few required fields of information such as, name, user name
and password.
o New Products and Services Offer subscribers new products and services. We recently began
offering call waiting modem on hold, Postini e-mail spam and virus protection and a dial-up
accelerator.
Internet Access Services
Our core business is the sale of Internet access services to individual and small business
subscribers located in Oklahoma on both a retail and wholesale basis. Through FullNet, we provide
our customers with a variety of dial-up and dedicated connectivity, as well as direct access to a
wide range of Internet applications and resources, including electronic mail. FullNets full range
of services includes:
o Private label retail and business direct dial-up connectivity to the Internet and
o Secure private networks through our backbone network
Our branded and private label Internet access services are provided through a statewide
network with points-of -presence in 232 communities throughout Oklahoma. Points-of-presence are
local telephone numbers through which subscribers can access the Internet. Our business services
consist of high-speed Internet access services and other services that enable wholesale customers
to outsource their Internet and electronic commerce activities. We had approximately 2,700
subscribers at December 31, 2006. Additionally, FullNet sells Internet access to other Internet
service providers, who then resell Internet access to their own customers under their private label
or under the FullNet brand name.
We intend to expand our subscriber base through a marketing campaign and through acquisitions.
We are focusing our acquisition efforts on companies with forward-looking sales and marketing,
high-quality customer service and solid local market dominance. See Item 1. Description of
Business Company History. Additionally, we are expanding our phone directory advertising in an
effort to increase our subscriber base in the markets in which we currently operate.
Currently, we offer the following two types of Internet connections:
o Dial-Up Connections
The simplest connection to the Internet is the dial-up account. This method of service
connects the user to the Internet through the use of a modem and standard telephone line.
Currently, FullNet users can connect via dial-up at speeds up to 56 Kbps. We support these users
through the use of sophisticated modem banks located in our facility in Oklahoma City that send
data through a router and out to the Internet. We support the higher speed 56K, V.92 MOH and
Integrated Services Digital Network connections with state-of-the-art digital modems. With a
dial-up connection, a user can gain access to the Internet for e-mail, the World Wide Web, file
transfer protocol, news groups, and a variety of other useful applications.
o Leased Line Connections
Many businesses and some individuals have a need for more bandwidth to the Internet to support
a network of users or a busy Website. We have the capacity to sell a leased line connection to
users. This method of connection gives the user a full-time high-speed (up to 1.5 mbps) connection
to the Internet. The leased line solution comes at greater expense to the user. These lines are
leased through the telephone companies at a high installation and monthly fee.
We believe that our Internet access services provide customers with the following benefits:
Fast and Reliable Internet Access-We have implemented a network architecture providing
exceptional quality and consistency in Internet services, making us one of the recognized backbone
leaders in the Oklahoma Internet service provider industry. We offer unlimited, unrestricted and
reliable Internet access at a low monthly price. We have designed our network such
6
that our users never have to worry about busy signals due to a lack of available modems. Dial-up
access is available for the following modem speeds: 14.4K, 28.8K, 33.6K, K56Flex, 56K V.90, v.92
MOH, ISDN 64K and ISDN 128K. Our dial-up access supports all major platforms and operating systems,
including MS Windows, UNIX(R), Mac OS, OS/2 and LINUX. This allows simplified access to all
Internet applications, including the World Wide Web, email, and news and file transfer protocol.
Cost-Effective Access-We offer high quality Internet connectivity and enhanced business
services at price points that are generally lower than those charged by other Internet service
providers with national coverage. Additionally, we offer pre-bundled access services packages under
monthly or prepaid plans.
Superior Customer Support-We provide superior customer service and support, with customer care
and technical personnel available by telephone and on-line 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
CLEC Operations
Through FullTel, our wholly owned subsidiary, we are a fully licensed competitive local
exchange carrier or CLEC in Oklahoma. CLECs are new phone companies evolved from the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Telecommunications Act) that requires the incumbent local exchange
carriers or ILECs, generally the regional Bell companies including AT&T (formerly SBC), to provide
CLECs access to their local facilities, and to compensate CLECs for traffic originated by ILECs and
terminated on the CLECs network. By adding our own telephone switch and infrastructure to the
existing telephone network in March 2003, we are now able to offer certain local Internet access
for dial-up services in most of Oklahoma. As a CLEC, we may subscribe to and resell all forms of
local telephone service in Oklahoma. We intend to build our own network infrastructure, which we
believe will reduce our current reliance upon the infrastructures of the ILECs. We believe that our
CLEC status, combined with the efficiencies inherent in operating our own network, should result in
lower overhead costs and a more predictable infrastructure, both of which should be to the benefit
of our customers.
While Internet access is the core focus of growth for us, we plan to also provide traditional
telephone service throughout Oklahoma.
A core piece of our marketing strategy is the cross pollination between our Internet
activities and FullTels local dial-up service. By organizing and funding FullTel, we expect to
gain local dial-up Internet access to approximately 80% of Oklahoma. In return, FullTel will gain
immediate access to our entire Internet service provider customer base.
The FullTel data center telephone switching equipment was installed in March 2003. At which
time, FullTel began the process of activating local access telephone numbers for every city in
which we will market, sell and operate our retail FullNet Internet service provider brand;
wholesale dial-up Internet service; our business-to-business network design, connectivity, domain
and Web hosting businesses; and traditional telephone service. At December 31, 2006, FullTel
provided us with local telephone access in approximately 232 cities. However, our ability to fully
take advantage of these opportunities will be dependent upon the availability of additional
capital.
Sales and Marketing
Although we expect that the bulk of our new subscribers will come through acquisition of
Internet service providers, our expanded local sales system is also an integral part of our growth
plan. We believe local sales and marketing will develop further recognition of our name brand that
will lead to increased subscriber revenues.
We focus on marketing our services to two distinct market segments: enterprises (primarily
small and medium size businesses) and consumers. By attracting enterprise customers who use the
network primarily during the daytime, and consumer customers who use the network primarily at
night, we are able to utilize our network infrastructure more cost effectively.
Competition
The market for Internet connectivity and related services is extremely competitive. We
anticipate that competition will continue to intensify as the use of the Internet continues to
expand and grow. The tremendous growth and potential market size of the Internet access market has
attracted many new start-ups as well as existing businesses from a variety of industries. We
believe
7
a reliable network, knowledgeable salespeople and the quality of technical support currently are
the primary competitive factors in our targeted market and that price is usually secondary to these
factors.
Our current and prospective competitors include, in addition to other national, regional and
local Internet service providers, long distance and local exchange telecommunications companies,
cable television, direct broadcast satellite, wireless communications providers and online service
providers. While we believe that our network, products and customer service distinguish us from
these competitors, most of these competitors have significantly greater market presence, brand
recognition, financial, technical and personnel resources than us.
Internet Service Providers
Our current primary competitors include other Internet service providers with a significant
national presence that focuses on business customers, such as Cox Communications and AT&T (formerly
SBC). These competitors have greater market share, brand recognition, financial, technical and
personnel resources than us. We also compete with regional and local Internet service providers in
our targeted markets.
Telecommunications Carriers
The major long distance companies, also known as inter-exchange carriers, including AT&T,
Verizon, and Sprint, offer Internet access services and compete with us. Reforms in the federal
regulation of the telecommunications industry have created greater opportunities for ILECs,
including the Regional Bell Operating Companies or RBOCs, and other competitive local exchange
carriers, to enter the Internet connectivity market. In order to address the Internet connectivity
requirements of the business customers of long distance and local carriers, we believe that there
is a move toward horizontal integration by ILECs and CLECs through acquisitions or joint ventures
with, and the wholesale purchase of, connectivity from Internet service providers. The MCI/WorldCom
merger (and the prior WorldCom/MFS/UUNet consolidation), GTEs acquisition of BBN, the acquisition
by ICG Communications, Inc. of Netcom, Global Crossings acquisition of Frontier Corp. (and
Frontiers prior acquisition of Global Center) and AT&Ts purchase of IBMs global communications
network are indicative of this trend. Accordingly, we expect that we will experience increased
competition from the traditional telecommunications carriers. These telecommunication carriers, in
addition to their greater network coverage, market presence, financial, technical and personnel
resources also have large existing commercial customer bases.
Cable Companies, Direct Broadcast Satellite and Wireless Communications Companies
Many of the major cable companies are offering Internet connectivity, relying on the viability
of cable modems and economical upgrades to their networks, including Media One and Time Warner
Cablevision, Inc., Cox Communications and Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI).
The companies that own these broadband networks could prevent us from delivering Internet
access through the wire and cable connections that they own. Our ability to compete with telephone
and cable television companies that are able to support broadband transmissions, and to provide
better Internet services and products, may depend on future regulation to guarantee open access to
the broadband networks. However, in January 1999, the Federal Communications Commission declined to
take any action to mandate or otherwise regulate access by Internet service providers to broadband
cable facilities at this time. It is unclear whether and to what extent local and state regulatory
agencies will take any initiatives to implement this type of regulation, and whether they will be
successful in establishing their authority to do so. Similarly, the Federal Communications
Commission is considering proposals that could limit the right of Internet service providers to
connect with their customers over broadband local telephone lines. In addition to competing
directly in the Internet service provider market, both cable and television facilities operators
are also aligning themselves with certain Internet service providers who would receive preferential
or exclusive use of broadband local connections to end users. As high-speed broadband facilities
increasingly become the preferred mode by which customers access the Internet, if we are unable
to gain access to these facilities on reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Online Service Providers
The dominant online service providers, including America Online, Incorporated, Comcast, AT&T,
Road Runner, Verizon and Earthlink, have all entered the Internet access business by engineering
their current proprietary networks to include Internet access capabilities. We compete to a lesser
extent with these service providers, which currently are primarily focused on the consumer
marketplace and offer their own content, including chat rooms, news updates, searchable reference
databases, special interest groups and shopping.
However, America Onlines merger with Time-Warner, its acquisition of Netscape Communications
Corporation and related strategic alliance with Sun Microsystems enable it to offer a broader array
of Internet -based services and products that could significantly enhance its ability to appeal to
the business marketplace and, as a result, compete more directly with Internet
8
service providers like us. CompuServe has also announced that it will target Internet connectivity
for the small to medium sized business market.
We believe that our ability to attract business customers and to market value-added services
is a key to our future success. However, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not
introduce comparable services or products at similar or more attractive prices in the future or
that we will not be required to reduce our prices to match competition. Recently, many competitive
ISPs have shifted their focus from individual customers to business customers.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that more of our competitors will not shift their focus to
attracting business customers, resulting in even more competition for us. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to offset the effects of any such competition or resulting price reductions.
Increased competition could result in erosion of our market share and could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Government Regulations
The following summary of regulatory developments and legislation is not complete. It does not
describe all present and proposed federal, state, and local regulation and legislation affecting
the Internet service provider and telecommunications industries. Existing federal and state
regulations are currently subject to judicial proceedings, legislative hearings, and administrative
proposals that could change, in varying degrees, the manner in which our businesses operate. We
cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or their impact upon the Internet service provider
and telecommunications industries or upon our business.
Both the provision of Internet access service and the provision of underlying
telecommunications services are affected by federal, state, local and foreign regulation. The
Federal Communications Commission or FCC exercises jurisdiction over all facilities of, and
services offered by, telecommunications carriers to the extent that they involve the provision,
origination or termination of jurisdictionally interstate or international communications. The
state regulatory commissions retain jurisdiction over the same facilities and services to the
extent they involve origination or termination of jurisdictionally intrastate communications. In
addition, as a result of the passage of the Telecommunications Act, state and federal regulators
share responsibility for implementing and enforcing the domestic pro-competitive policies of the
Telecommunications Act. In particular, state regulatory commissions have substantial oversight over
the provision of interconnection and non-discriminatory network access by ILECs. Municipal
authorities generally have some jurisdiction over access to rights of way, franchises, zoning and
other matters of local concern.
Our Internet operations are not currently subject to direct regulation by the FCC or any other
U.S. governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. However, the
FCC continues to review its regulatory position on the usage of the basic network and
communications facilities by Internet service providers. Although in an April 1998 Report, the FCC
determined that Internet service providers should not be treated as telecommunications carriers and
therefore should not be regulated, it is expected that future Internet service provider regulatory
status will continue to be uncertain. Indeed, in that report, the FCC concluded that certain
services offered over the Internet, such as phone-to-phone Internet telephony, may be functionally
indistinguishable from traditional telecommunications service offerings, and their non-regulated
status may have to be reexamined.
Changes in the regulatory structure and environment affecting the Internet access market,
including regulatory changes that directly or indirectly affect telecommunications costs or
increase the likelihood of competition from RBOCs or other telecommunications companies, could have
an adverse effect on our business. Although the FCC has decided not to allow local telephone
companies to impose per-minute access charges on Internet service providers, and the reviewing
court has upheld that decision, further regulatory and legislative consideration of this issue is
likely. In addition, some telephone companies are seeking relief through state regulatory agencies.
The imposition of access charges would affect our costs of
serving dial-up customers and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition to our Internet service provider operations, we have recently focused attention on
acquiring telecommunications assets and facilities, which is a regulated activity. Fulltel, our
subsidiary, has received competitive local exchange carrier or CLEC certification in Oklahoma, and
an important part of our growth strategy is obtaining CLEC certification in certain other states.
The Telecommunications Act requires CLECs not to prohibit or unduly restrict resale of their
services; to provide dialing parity, number portability, and nondiscriminatory access to telephone
numbers, operator services, directory assistance, and directory listings; to afford access to
poles, ducts, conduits, and rights-of-way; and to establish reciprocal compensation arrangements
for the transport and termination of telecommunications traffic. In addition to federal regulation
of CLECs, the states also impose regulatory obligations on CLECs. While these obligations vary from
state to state, most states require CLECs to file a tariff for their services and charges; require
CLECs to charge just and reasonable rates for their services, and not to discriminate among
similarly-situated customers; to file periodic reports and pay certain fees; and to comply with
certain services standards and consumer protection laws. As a provider of domestic basic
telecommunications services,
9
particularly competitive local exchange services, we could become subject to further regulation by
the FCC or another regulatory agency, including state and local entities.
The Telecommunications Act has caused fundamental changes in the markets for local exchange
services. In particular, the Telecommunications Act and the related FCC promulgated rules mandate
competition in local markets and require that ILECs interconnect with CLECs. Under the provisions
of the Telecommunications Act, the FCC and state public utility commissions share jurisdiction over
the implementation of local competition: the FCC was required to promulgate general rules and the
state commissions were required to arbitrate and approve individual interconnection agreements. The
courts have generally upheld the FCC in its promulgation of rules, including a January 25, 1999
U.S. Supreme Court ruling which determined that the FCC has jurisdiction to promulgate national
rules in pricing for interconnection.
In July 2000, the Eighth Circuit Court issued a decision on the earlier remand from the
Supreme Court and rejected, as contrary to the Telecommunications Act, the use of hypothetical
network costs, including total element long-run incremental costs methodology (TELRIC), which the
FCC had used in developing certain of its pricing rules. The Eighth Circuit Court also vacated the
FCCs pricing rules related to unbundled network elements (UNEs), termination and transport, but
upheld its prior decision that ILECs universal service subsidies should not be included in the
costs of providing network elements. Finally, the Eighth Circuit Court also vacated the FCCs rules
requiring that: (1) ILECs recombine unbundled network elements for competitors in any technically
feasible combination; (2) all preexisting interconnection agreements be submitted to the states for
review; and (3) the burden of proof for retention of a rural exemption be shifted to the ILEC. The
FCC sought review of the Eighth Circuit Courts invalidation of TELRIC and was granted certiorari.
On May 13, 2002, the Supreme Court reversed certain of the Eighth Circuit Courts findings and
affirmed that the FCCs rules concerning forward looking economic costs, including TELRIC, were
proper under the Telecommunications Act. The Supreme Court also restored the FCCs requirement that
the ILECs combine UNEs for competitors when they are unable to do so themselves.
In November 1999, the FCC released an order making unbundling requirements applicable to all
ILEC network elements uniformly. UNE-P is created when a competing carrier obtains all the network
elements needed to provide service from the ILEC. In December 1999, the FCC released an order
requiring the provision of unbundled local copper loops enabling CLECs to offer competitive Digital
Subscriber Loop Internet access. The FCC reconsidered both orders in its first triennial review of
its policies on UNEs completed in early 2003, as further discussed below.
On August 21, 2003, the FCC released the text of its Triennial Review Order. In response to
the remand of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit, the FCC
adopted new rules governing the obligations of ILECs to unbundle the elements of their local
networks for use by competitors. The FCC made national findings of impairment or non-impairment for
loops, transport and, most significantly, switching. The FCC delegated to the states the authority
to engage in additional fact finding and make alternative impairment findings based on a more
granular impairment analysis including evaluation of applicability of FCC-established triggers.
The FCC created mass market and enterprise market customer classifications that generally
correspond to the residential and business markets, respectively. The FCC found that CLECs were not
impaired without access to local circuit switching when serving enterprise market customers on a
national level. CLECs, however, were found to be impaired on a national level without access to
local switching when serving mass market customers. State commissions had 90 days to ask the FCC
to waive the finding of no impairment without switching for enterprise market customers. The FCC
presumption that CLECs are impaired without access to transport, high capacity loops and mass
market switching is subject to a more granular nine month review by state commissions pursuant to
FCC-established triggers and other economic and operational criteria.
The FCC also opened a further notice of proposed rulemaking to consider the pick and choose
rules under which a competing carrier may select from among the various terms of interconnection
offered by an
ILEC in its various interconnection agreements. Comments have been filed, but the FCC has not
issued a decision.
The Triennial Review Order also provided that:
· ILECs are not required to unbundle packet switching as a stand-alone network element.
· Two key components of the FCCs TELRIC pricing rules were clarified. First, the FCC clarified
that the risk-adjusted cost of capital used in calculating UNE prices should reflect the risks
associated with a competitive market. Second, the FCC declined to mandate the use of any particular
set of asset lives for depreciation, but clarified that the use of an accelerated depreciation
mechanism may present a more accurate method of calculating economic depreciation.
· CLECs continue to be prohibited from avoiding any liability under contractual early termination
clauses in the event a CLEC converts a special access circuit to an UNE.
We are monitoring the Oklahoma state commission proceedings and participating where necessary
as the commission undertakes the 90 day and nine month analyses to establish rules or make
determinations as directed by the Triennial Review
10
Order. In addition, numerous petitions and appeals have been filed in the courts and with the FCC
challenging many of the findings in the Triennial Review Order and seeking a stay on certain
portions of the order. The appeals have been consolidated in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Oral arguments were heard on January 28, 2004. On March 2, 2004, a three-judge panel in the D.C.
Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the FCCs Triennial Review Order with regard to network
unbundling rules. A majority of the FCC Commissioners is seeking a court-ordered stay and plan to
appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. Until all of these proceedings are concluded, the impact of
this order, if any, on our CLEC operations cannot be determined.
An important issue for CLECs is the right to receive reciprocal compensation for the transport
and termination of Internet traffic. We believe that, under the Telecommunications Act, CLECs are
entitled to receive reciprocal compensation from ILECs. However, some ILECs have disputed payment
of reciprocal compensation for Internet traffic, arguing that Internet service provider traffic is
not local traffic. Most states have required ILECs to pay CLECs reciprocal compensation. However,
in October 1998, the FCC determined that dedicated digital subscriber line service is an interstate
service and properly tariffed at the interstate level. In February 1999, the FCC concluded that at
least a substantial portion of dial-up Internet service provider traffic is jurisdictionally
interstate. The FCC also concluded that its jurisdictional decision does not alter the exemption
from access charges currently enjoyed by Internet service providers. The FCC established a
proceeding to consider an appropriate compensation mechanism for interstate Internet traffic.
Pending the adoption of that mechanism, the FCC saw no reason to interfere with existing
interconnection agreements and reciprocal compensation arrangements. The FCC order has been
appealed. In addition, there is a risk that state public utility commissions that have previously
considered this issue and ordered the payment of reciprocal compensation by the ILECs to the CLECs
may be asked by the ILECs to revisit their determinations, or may revisit their determinations on
their own motion. To date, at least one ILEC has filed suit seeking a refund from a carrier of
reciprocal compensation that the ILEC had paid to that carrier. There can be no assurance that any
future court, state regulatory or FCC decision on this matter will favor our position. An
unfavorable result may have an adverse impact on our potential future revenues as a CLEC. We have
billed, collected and are continuing to bill reciprocal compensation. However, continuance of this
revenue stream is subject to ongoing regulation. Reciprocal compensation is unlikely to be a
significant or a long-term revenue source for us.
As we become a competitor in local exchange markets, we will become subject to state
requirements regarding provision of intrastate services. This may include the filing of tariffs
containing rates and conditions. As a new entrant, without market power, we expect to face a
relatively flexible regulatory environment. Nevertheless, it is possible that some states could
require us to obtain the approval of the public utilities commission for the issuance of debt or
equity or other transactions that would result in a lien on our property used to provide intrastate
services.
Additional Factors to Consider
This report includes forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Although we believe that our plans, intentions
and expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, we can give no
assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward looking statements are set forth
below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. All forward looking statements attributable to us or
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
set forth below.
Necessity of Obtaining an Acceptable Successor Interconnection Agreement. We are dependent
upon obtaining certain services from AT&T (formerly SBC) pursuant to our interconnection agreement
with them. We along with many other telecommunications companies in Oklahoma are currently a party
to one or more proceedings before the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (the OCC) relating to the
terms of our interconnection agreements with AT&T and an anticipated successor to these
interconnection
agreements. Failure to obtain an acceptable successor interconnection agreement would have a
material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.
Necessity of Prevailing Against AT&T on Disputed Back Billings. AT&T (formerly SBC) has
recently back billed us for various amounts that total in excess of $7,000,000. We believe that
AT&T has no basis for these charges, are currently reviewing them with our attorneys and plan to
vigorously dispute them. However, failure to prevail in the dispute of these back billings would
have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of
operation.
Limited Operating History. We have a relatively limited operating history upon which an
evaluation of our prospects can be made. Consequently, the likelihood of our success must be
considered in view of all of the risks, expenses and delays inherent in the establishment and
growth of a new business including, but not limited to, expenses, complications and delays which
cannot be foreseen when a business is commenced, initiation of marketing activities, the
uncertainty of market acceptance of new services, intense competition from larger more established
competitors and other factors. Our ability to achieve profitability and growth will depend on
successful development and commercialization of our current and proposed services. No assurance can
be given that we will be able to introduce our proposed services or market our services on a
commercially successful basis.
11
Necessity of Additional Financing. In order for us to have any opportunity for significant
commercial success and profitability, we must successfully obtain additional financing, either
through borrowings, additional private placements or an initial public offering, or some
combination thereof. Although we are actively pursuing a variety of funding sources, there can be
no assurance that we will be successful in such pursuit.
Limited Marketing Experience. We have limited experience in developing and commercializing new
services based on innovative technologies, and there is limited information available concerning
the potential performance of our hardware or market acceptance of our proposed services. There can
be no assurance that unanticipated expenses, problems or technical difficulties will not occur
which would result in material delays in product commercialization or that our efforts will result
in successful product commercialization.
Uncertainty of Products/Services Development. Although considerable time and financial
resources were expended in the development of our services and products, there can be absolutely no
assurance that problems will not develop which would have a material adverse effect on us. We will
be required to commit considerable time, effort and resources to finalize our product/service
development and adapt our products and services to satisfy specific requirements of potential
customers. Continued system refinement, enhancement and development efforts are subject to all of
the risks inherent in the development of new products/services and technologies, including
unanticipated delays, expenses, technical problems or difficulties, as well as the possible
insufficiency of funds to satisfactorily complete development, which could result in abandonment or
substantial change in commercialization. There can be no assurance that development efforts will be
successfully completed on a timely basis, or at all, that we will be able to successfully adapt our
hardware or software to satisfy specific requirements of potential customers, or that unanticipated
events will not occur which would result in increased costs or material delays in development or
commercialization. In addition, the complex technologies planned to be incorporated into our
products and services may contain errors that become apparent subsequent to commercial use.
Remedying such errors could delay our plans and cause us to incur substantial additional costs.
New Concept; Uncertainty of Market Acceptance and Commercialization Strategy. As is typical in
the case of a new business concept, demand and market acceptance for a newly introduced product or
service is subject to a high level of uncertainty. Achieving market acceptance for this new concept
will require significant efforts and expenditures by us to create awareness and demand by
consumers. Our marketing strategy and preliminary and future marketing plans may be unsuccessful
and are subject to change as a result of a number of factors, including progress or delays in our
marketing efforts, changes in market conditions (including the emergence of potentially significant
related market segments for applications of our technology), the nature of possible license and
distribution arrangements which may or may not become available to us in the future and economic,
regulatory and competitive factors. There can be no assurance that our strategy will result in
successful product commercialization or that our efforts will result in initial or continued market
acceptance for our proposed products.
Competition; Technological Obsolescence. The markets for our products and services are
characterized by intense competition and an increasing number of potential new market entrants who
have developed or are developing potentially competitive products and services. We will face
competition from numerous sources, certain of which may have substantially greater financial,
technical, marketing, distribution, personnel and other resources than us, permitting such
companies to implement extensive marketing campaigns, both generally and in response to efforts by
additional competitors to enter into new markets and market new products and services. In addition,
our product and service markets are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving
industry standards that could result in product obsolescence and short product life cycles.
Accordingly, our ability to compete will be dependent upon our ability to complete the development
of our products and to introduce our products and/or services into the marketplace in a timely
manner, to continually enhance and improve our software and to successfully develop and market new
products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully, that competitors
will not develop technologies or products that render our products and/or services obsolete
or less marketable or that we will be able to successfully enhance our products or develop new
products and/or services.
Risks Relating to the Internet. Businesses reliant on the Internet may be at risk due to
inadequate development of the necessary infrastructure, including reliable network backbones or
complementary services, high-speed modems and security procedures. The Internet has experienced,
and is expected to continue to experience, significant growth in the number of users and amount of
traffic. There can be no assurance that the Internet infrastructure will continue to be able to
support the demands placed on it by sustained growth. In addition, there may be delays in the
development and adoption of new standards and protocols, the inability to handle increased levels
of Internet activity or due to increased government regulation. If the necessary Internet
infrastructure or complementary services are not developed to effectively support growth that may
occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely
affected.
Potential Government Regulations. We are subject to state commission, Federal Communications
Commission and court decisions as they relate to the interpretation and implementation of the
Telecommunications Act, the interpretation of Competitive Local Exchange Carrier interconnection
agreements in general and our interconnection agreements in particular. In some cases, we may
become bound by the results of ongoing proceedings of these bodies or the legal outcomes of other
contested
12
interconnection agreements that are similar to agreements to which we are a party. The results of
any of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Key Personnel. Our success depends in large part upon the continued successful
performance of our current executive officers and key employees, Messrs. Timothy J. Kilkenny, Roger
P. Baresel and Jason C. Ayers, for our continued research, development, marketing and operation.
Although we have employed, and will employ in the future, additional qualified employees as well as
retaining consultants having significant experience, if Messrs. Kilkenny, Baresel or Ayers fail to
perform any of their duties for any reason whatsoever, our ability to market, operate and support
our products/services will be adversely affected. While we are located in areas where the available
pool of people is substantial, there is also significant competition for qualified personnel.
Limited Public Market. During February 2000, our common stock began trading on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol FULO. While our common stock continues to trade on the OTC Bulletin
Board, there can be no assurance that our stockholders will be able to sell their shares should
they so desire. Any market for the common stock that may develop, in all likelihood, will be a
limited one, and if such a market does develop, the market price may be volatile.
No Payment of Dividends on Common Stock. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock.
For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that all earnings, if any, which may be generated from
our operations, will be used to finance our growth and that cash dividends will not be paid to
holders of the common stock.
Penny Stock Regulation. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny
stocks are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are
equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). The penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to
deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and
the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the
customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker dealer is the sole
market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control
over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held
in the customers account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other
than established customers and accredited investors (generally, those persons with assets in excess
of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse), must
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the
purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these
requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the
secondary market for a security that is or becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Our common
stock is subject to the penny stock rules at the present time, and consequently our stockholders
will find it more difficult to sell their shares.
Customers
In 2005, we had one customer that represented 27% of our gross revenues. The contract pursuant
to which we provided services to this customer expired on December 31, 2005. The customer did not
renew its contract. Therefore, during 2006 we experienced a loss of this revenue without a
corresponding reduction in expense.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006, we had 13 employees employed in engineering, sales, marketing,
customer support and related activities and general and administrative functions. None of our
employees are
represented by a labor union, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. We also
engage consultants from time to time with respect to various aspects of our business.
Item 2. Description of Property
We maintain our executive office in approximately 13,000 square feet at 201 Robert S. Kerr
Avenue, suite 210 in Oklahoma City, at an effective annual rental rate of $10.20 per square foot.
These premises are occupied pursuant to a ten-year lease that expires December 31, 2009.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
As a telecommunications company, we are affected by regulatory proceedings in the ordinary
course of our business at the state and federal levels. These include proceedings before both the
Federal Communications Commission and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). In addition, in
our operations we rely on obtaining many of our underlying telecommunications services and/or
facilities from incumbent local exchange carriers or other carriers pursuant to interconnection or
other agreements or arrangements. In
13
January, 2007, we concluded a regulatory proceeding pursuant to the Federal Telecommunications Act
of 1996 before the OCC relating to the terms of our interconnection agreement with Southwestern
Bell Telephone, L.P. d/b/a AT&T, which succeeds a prior interconnection agreement. Approval of the
agreement by the OCC is expected by the end of April, 2007. The agreement may be affected by
regulatory proceedings at the federal and state levels, with possible adverse impacts on us. We
are unable to accurately predict the outcomes of such regulatory proceedings at this time, but an
unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2006.

March 30, 2007 was approximately 112.
Dividend Policy
To date, we have declared no cash dividends on our common stock, and do not expect to pay cash
dividends in the near term. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for
operations and the continued expansion of our business.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
The following table sets forth as of December 31, 2006, information related to each category
of equity compensation plan approved or not approved by our shareholders, including individual
compensation arrangements with our non-employee directors. We do not have any equity compensation
plans that have been approved by our shareholders. All of our outstanding stock option grants and
warrants were pursuant to individual compensation arrangements and exercisable for the purchase of
our common stock shares.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Warrants exercisable for the purchase of 18,000 shares of our common stock were exercised in
January 2006 for $180. These common stock shares were offered and sold pursuant to Rule 506 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act, and no commissions and fees were paid. With respect to the
foregoing common stock transaction, we relied on Sections 4(2) and 3(b) of the Securities Act of
1933 and applicable registration exemptions of Rules 504 and 506 of Regulation D and applicable
state securities laws.
Item 6. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial
Statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 7 of this Report. The results shown herein
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from the
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. For a discussion of the factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, see Item 1.
Description of Business Additional Factors to Consider and our other periodic reports and
documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We are an integrated communications provider offering integrated communications and Internet
connectivity to individuals, businesses, organizations, educational institutions and government
agencies. Through our subsidiaries, we provide high quality, reliable and scalable Internet access,
web hosting, equipment co-location, and traditional telephone service.
Our overall strategy is to become the dominant integrated communications provider for
residents and small to medium-sized businesses in Oklahoma. We believe that the rural areas of
Oklahoma are underserved by Internet service providers, and that significant profitable growth can
be achieved in serving these markets by providing reliable Internet connectivity and value-added
services at a reasonable cost to the residents and businesses located in these areas. We believe we
can obtain a significant Internet service provider and business-to-business market share in
Oklahoma. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, FullTel, is a licensed competitive local exchange carrier or
CLEC and provides local telephone numbers for Internet access.
The market for Internet connectivity and related services is extremely competitive. We
anticipate that competition will continue to intensify. The tremendous growth and potential market
size of the Internet access market has attracted many new start-ups as well as existing businesses
from a variety of industries. We believe that a reliable network, knowledgeable sales people and
the quality of technical support currently are the primary competitive factors in our targeted
market and that price is usually secondary to these factors.
As a telecommunications company, we are affected by regulatory proceedings in the ordinary
course of our business at the state and federal levels. These include proceedings before both the
Federal Communications Commission and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). In addition, in
our operations we rely on obtaining many of our underlying telecommunications services and/or
facilities from incumbent local exchange carriers or other carriers pursuant to interconnection or
other agreements or arrangements. In January, 2007, we concluded a regulatory proceeding pursuant
to the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 before the OCC relating to the terms of our
interconnection agreement with Southwestern Bell Telephone, L.P. d/b/a AT&T, which succeeds a prior
interconnection agreement. Approval of the agreement by the OCC is expected by the end of April,
2007. The agreement may be affected by regulatory proceedings at the federal and state levels,
with possible adverse impacts on us. We are unable to accurately predict the outcomes of such
regulatory proceedings at this time, but an
unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
or results of operations.
AT&T has recently back billed us for various amounts that total in excess of $7,000,000. We
believe that AT&T has no basis for these charges, are currently reviewing them with our attorneys
and plan to vigorously dispute them. However, failure to prevail in the dispute of these back
billings would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and
results of operation.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005
Revenues
Access service revenues decreased $133,543 or 15.3% to $741,017 for the year 2006 from
$874,560 for the year 2005 primarily due to a decline in the number of customers.
Co-location and other revenues decreased $476,191 or 15.3% to $1,028,054 for the year 2006
from $1,504,245 for the year 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to the loss of one
significant customer and reciprocal compensation that was partially offset by the sale of
additional services to existing customers and addition of new customers. During 2005, we had one
customer that comprised approximately 27%, of total revenues. This customers service contract
expired on December 31, 2005 without renewal or extension. Consequently, we experienced a loss of
this revenue source in 2006. During 2006 we recorded approximately $7,800 in reciprocal
compensation revenue (fees for terminating AT&T (formerly SBC) customers local calls onto our
network). During the same period in 2005 we recorded approximately $93,000 of reciprocal
compensation revenue. We began billing AT&T during 2004, and have billed for the periods of March
2003 through June 2006. AT&T failed to pay and is disputing approximately $166,700. We are
pursuing AT&T for all balances due, however there is significant uncertainty as to whether or not
we will be successful. Upon the ultimate resolution of AT&Ts challenge, we will recognize the
associated revenue, if any. On a going-forward basis it is uncertain at what rate or if any
reciprocal compensation will be allowed in our successor interconnection agreement with AT&T.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Cost of access service revenues decreased $32,334 or 11.7% to $244,093 for the year 2006 from
$276,427 for the year 2005. This decrease was primarily due to non-recurring expenditures during
2005 to expand and support our network. Cost of access service revenues as a percentage of access service
revenues increased to 32.9% for the year 2006 from 31.6% for 2005 primarily due to the decrease in
revenues.
Cost of co-location and other revenues increased $46,523 or 24.2% to $238,776 for the year
2006 from $192,253 for the year 2005. This increase was primarily due to recurring costs associated
with increased capabilities related to traditional phone services. Cost of co-location and other
revenues as a percentage of co-location and other revenues increased to 23.2% for the year 2006
from 12.8% for 2005.
17
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $49,013 or 3.7% to $1,369,228 for the
year 2006 from $1,320,215 for the year 2005 primarily due to a provision for bad debts of
approximately $58,000 associated with the reciprocal compensation estimate. During the year 2006
we recorded approximately $7,800 in reciprocal compensation revenue (fees for terminating AT&T
(formerly SBC) customers local calls onto our network). During the year 2005 we recorded
approximately $93,000 of reciprocal compensation revenue. We began billing AT&T during 2004, and
have billed for the periods of March 2003 through June 2006. AT&T failed to pay and is disputing
approximately $166,700. During the fourth quarter of 2006, based upon a review of recent
reciprocal compensation correspondence management concluded a change in estimate was appropriate
and increased the provision for bad debts approximately $58,000. We are pursuing AT&T for all
balances due, however there is significant uncertainty as to whether or not we will be successful.
Upon the ultimate resolution of AT&Ts challenge, we will recognize the associated revenue, if any.
On a going-forward basis it is uncertain at what rate or if any reciprocal compensation will be
allowed in our successor interconnection agreement with AT&T. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 77.4% during 2006 from 55.5% during 2005.
During 2005, we had one customer that comprised approximately 27%, of total revenues. This
customers service contract expired on December 31, 2005 without renewal or extension.
Consequently, we experienced a loss of this revenue source in 2006.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $121,422 or 28.2% to $309,893 for the year
2006 from $431,315 for the year 2005 primarily due to several of our intangible assets reaching
full amortization. In January 2002, upon initially applying Statement of Financial Account
Standards 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), we reassessed useful lives and we began
amortizing our intangible assets over their estimated useful lives and in direct relation to any
decreases in the acquired customer bases to which they relate. Amortization expense for the years
ended 2006 and 2005 relating to intangible assets was $43,652 and $157,054, respectively.

Gain on Debt Recovery
During 2005, we negotiated and settled a customers account receivable that had previously
been written off to bad debt expense. This settlement was recorded net of our legal expenses as a
$17,500 gain on debt recovery.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $12,092 or 10.2% to $106,309 for the year 2006 from $118,401 for
the year 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to the lower note balances from
the payment of principal on the notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2006, we had $16,007 in cash and $2,510,441 in current liabilities,
including $108,437 of deferred revenues that will not require settlement in cash.
At December 31, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $2,374,575, while at December 31,
2005 we had a deficit working capital of $2,031,543. We do not have a line of credit or credit
facility to serve as an additional source of liquidity. Historically we have relied on shareholder
loans as an additional source of funds.
As of December 31, 2006, $165,995 of the $185,949 we owed to our trade creditors and $264,054
of the $270,142 payable to a related party were past due. We have no formal agreements regarding
payment of these amounts. At December 31, 2006, we had outstanding principal and interest owed on
matured notes totaling $1,307,439. We have not made payment or negotiated an extension of the notes
and the lenders have not made any payment demands. We are currently developing a plan to satisfy
these notes on terms acceptable to the note holders.
18
In addition, during 2005, we had one customer that comprised approximately 27%, of total
revenues. This customers service contract expired on December 31, 2005 without renewal or
extension. Consequently, we experienced a loss of this revenue source in 2006 without a
corresponding reduction in expense.
During September 2005, we received a back billing from AT&T (formerly SBC) of approximately
$230,000. Since then, we have received a number of additional back billings from AT&T that total in
excess of $7,000,000. We believe AT&T has no basis for these charges, are currently reviewing these
billings with our attorneys and plan to vigorously dispute the charges. Therefore, we have not
recorded any expense or liability related to these billings.

Cash used for the purchases of equipment was $76,412 and $185,387, respectively, for the years
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Cash used for the acquisition of assets was $15,503 and $72,918,
respectively, for 2006 and 2005.
Cash used for principal payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations was $92,783
and $199,765, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
The planned expansion of our business will require significant capital to fund capital
expenditures, working capital needs, and debt service. Our principal capital expenditure
requirements will include:
|
|
mergers and acquisitions and |
|
|
|
further development of operations support systems and other automated back office systems |
Because our cost of developing new networks and services, funding other strategic initiatives,
and operating our business depend on a variety of factors (including, among other things, the
number of subscribers and the service for which they subscribe, the nature and penetration of
services that may be offered by us, regulatory changes, and actions taken by competitors in
response to our strategic initiatives), it is almost certain that actual costs and revenues will
materially vary from expected amounts and these variations are likely to increase our future
capital requirements. Our current cash balances will not be sufficient to fund our current
business plan beyond a few months. As a consequence, we are currently focusing on revenue
enhancement and cost cutting opportunities as well as working to sell non-core assets and to extend
vendor payment terms. We continue to seek additional convertible debt or equity financing as well
as the placement of a credit facility to fund our liquidity needs. There is no assurance that we
will be able to obtain additional capital on satisfactory terms or at all or on terms that will not
dilute our shareholders interests.
In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital or to obtain it on acceptable
terms or in sufficient amounts, we will be required to delay the further development of our network
or take other actions. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating
results and financial condition and our ability to achieve sufficient cash flows to service debt
requirements.
Our ability to fund the capital expenditures and other costs contemplated by our business plan
and to make scheduled payments with respect to bank borrowings will depend upon, among other
things, our ability to seek and obtain additional financing in the near term. Capital will be
needed in order to implement our business plan, deploy our network, expand our operations and
obtain and retain a significant number of customers in our target markets. Each of these factors
is, to a large extent, subject to economic, financial, competitive, political, regulatory, and
other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
There is no assurance that we will be successful in developing and maintaining a level of cash
flows from operations sufficient to permit payment of our outstanding indebtedness. If we are
unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to service our indebtedness, we will be
required to modify our growth plans, limit our capital expenditures, restructure or refinance our
indebtedness or seek additional capital or liquidate our assets. There is no assurance that (i) any
of these strategies could be effectuated on satisfactory terms, if at all, or on a timely basis or
(ii) any of these strategies will yield sufficient proceeds to service our debt or otherwise
adequately fund operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. In applying our accounting principles, we must often make
individual estimates and assumptions regarding expected outcomes or uncertainties. As you might
expect, the actual results or outcomes are generally different than the estimated or assumed
amounts. These differences are usually minor and are included in our consolidated financial
statements as soon as they are known. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually
evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent
in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
We periodically review the carrying value of our intangible assets when events and
circumstances warrant such a review. One of the methods used for this review is performed using
estimates of future cash flows. If the carrying value of our intangible assets is considered
impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the
intangible assets exceeds its fair value. We believe that the estimates of future cash flows and
fair value are reasonable. Changes in estimates of such cash flows and fair value, however, could
affect the calculation and result in additional impairment charges in future periods.
We review loss contingencies and evaluate the events and circumstances related to these
contingencies. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 Accounting for
Contingencies, we disclose material loss contingencies that are possible or probable, but cannot be
estimated. For loss contingencies that are both estimable and probable the loss contingency is
accrued and expense is recognized in the financial statements.
Certain Accounting Matters
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We adopted SFAS 123(R) on January
1, 2006 using the modified prospective method as described in the standard. Under the modified
prospective method, we are required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over
the related vesting period of the awards prospectively and record compensation cost prospectively
for the unvested portion at time of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the
remaining vesting period of such awards. As of January 1, 2006, we had no unvested outstanding
stock option awards and as a result, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had no impact on our
consolidated financial statements or consolidated results of operations.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments that amended FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement permits fair value
re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument containing an embedded derivative that would
otherwise require bifurcation, and broadens a Qualified Special Purpose Entitys (QSPE) permitted
holdings to include passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to other derivative
financial instruments. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued
or subject to a re-measurement event occurring after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal
year beginning after September 15, 2006. This Statement has no current applicability to our
financial statements. We plan to adopt this Statement on January 1, 2007 and it is anticipated
that the initial adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48
clarifies the accounting and reporting for income taxes where interpretation of the law is
uncertain. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition,
measurement, presentation and
disclosure of income tax uncertainties with respect to positions taken or expected to be taken
in income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This
Statement has no current applicability to our financial statements. We plan to adopt this
Statement on January 1, 2007 and it is anticipated that the initial adoption of FIN 48 will not
have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157
addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value
measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of the
adoption of this Statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires (a) recognition of the funded status (measured as the difference
between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation) of a benefit plan as an asset
or liability in the employers statement of financial position, (b) measurement of the funded
status as of the employers fiscal
20
year-end with limited exceptions, and (c) recognition of changes in the funded status in the year
in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded
status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal
year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure the plan assets and benefit
obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. This Statement has no current applicability to our
financial statements. We adopted this Statement on December 31, 2006 and the adoption of SFAS No.
158 did not have a material impact to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
(SAB No. 108). SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements
should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No.
108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement
approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material
in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is
material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year
retained earnings and disclose the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected in
the cumulative adjustment. SAB No. 108 will be effective beginning January 1, 2007 and it is
anticipated that the initial adoption of SAB No. 108 will not have a material impact on our
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities that permits companies to choose to measure many financial assets and
liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has
been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on our consolidated financial
statements.
Item 7. Financial Statements
Our financial statements, prepared in accordance with Regulation S-B, are set forth in this
Report beginning on page F-1.
Item 8. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On September 16, 2005, we engaged Murrell, Hall, McIntosh & Co., PLLP as our new independent
accountants, commencing with the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 following our
dismissal of Evans, Gaither & Associates, PLLC. The decision to change independent accountants was
approved by our Board of Directors.
During 2006 and 2005, we did not have disagreements with our principal independent
accountants.
21
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible primarily for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Furthermore, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for the
design and supervision of our internal controls over financial reporting that are then effected by
and through our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These policies
and procedures (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based upon their evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and the internal controls over financial
reporting as of the last day of the period covered by this Report, concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were fully effective during
and as of the last day of the period covered by this Report and reported to our auditors and the
audit committee of our board of directors that no change in our disclosure controls and procedures
and internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this Report
that would have materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our disclosure
controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting. In conducting their
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting, these executive officers did not discover any fraud that involved management or other
employees who have a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal
controls over financial reporting. Furthermore, there were no significant changes in our disclosure
controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting, or other factors that could
significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial
reporting subsequent to the date of their evaluation. Because no significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses were discovered, no corrective actions were necessary or taken to correct
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in our internal controls and disclosure controls
and procedures.
Item 8B. Other Information
During the three months ended December 31, 2006 we did not have any events reportable on Form
8-K that were not reported.

served for three years as the Controller for Advantage Marketing Systems, Inc., a publicly-held
company engaged in the multi-level marketing of healthcare and dietary supplements. Prior to that
she was self-employed and owned an accounting practice. She graduated from the University of
Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma with a BS degree in Accounting and is a certified public
accountant.
Michael D. Tomas has been our Vice President of Technology since September 2003. Prior to
that, he was our Information Systems Manager since June 1999 and our employee since July 1996. Mr.
Tomas has formal training with Cisco, Win 3.1, Win95/98, and Windows NT 4.0 as well as LAN/WAN
setup, including experience with wireless networking and is Lucent certified.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Because our board of directors only consists of two directors, each of whom does not qualify
as an independent director; our board performs the functions of an audit committee. Our board of
directors has determined that Roger P. Baresel, our President and Chief Financial Officer qualifies
as a financial expert. This determination was based upon Mr. Baresels
|
|
|
understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements; |
|
|
|
|
ability to assess the general application of generally accepted accounting principles in
connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; |
23
|
|
|
experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that
present the breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally
comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be
raised by our financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons
engaged in such activities; |
|
|
|
|
understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and |
|
|
|
|
understanding of audit committee functions. |
Mr. Baresels experience and qualification as a financial expert were acquired through the
active supervision of a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller,
public accountant, auditor or person performing similar functions and overseeing or assessing the
performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or
evaluation of financial statements.
Mr. Baresel is not an independent director. We have been unable to attract a person to serve
as one of our directors and that would qualify both as an independent director and as a financial
expert because of inability to compensate our directors and provide liability insurance protection.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, Beneficial Ownership Reporting Requirements
Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors
and executive officers and any persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity
securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and each exchange on which
our securities are listed, reports of ownership and subsequent changes in ownership of our common
stock and our other securities. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required
by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on
review of the copies of such reports furnished to us or written representations that no other
reports were required, we believe that during 2006 all filing requirements applicable to our
officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were met.
Code of Ethics
On March 25, 2003, our board of directors adopted our code of ethics that applies to all of
our employees and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial
officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. A
copy of the portion of this code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing
similar functions may be obtained by written request addressed to Mr. Roger P. Baresel, Corporate
Secretary, Fullnet Communications, Inc., 201 Robert S. Kerr, Suite 210, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
73102.
Item 10. Executive Compensation
The following table sets forth, for the last three fiscal years, the cash compensation paid by
us to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the Named Executive Officer). None of our

Stock Options Granted
We do not have a written stock option plan. However, the Board of Directors granted to our
employees stock options exercisable for the purchase of 39,000 shares of our common stock during
2006. No stock options were granted to Mr. Kilkenny during 2006.
All options granted during 2006 are nonqualified stock options. During 2006, an aggregate of
39,000 options were granted outside of a formal plan to employees. Options granted generally become
exercisable in part after one year from the date of grant and generally have a term of ten years
following the date of grant, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the stock
option agreement.
2006 Year End Option Values
The following table sets forth information related to the exercise of stock options during
2006 and the number and value of options held by the following Named Executive Officer at December
31, 2006. During 2006, the Named Executive Officer did not exercise any options, nor did we reprice
any outstanding options. For the purposes of this table, the value of an option is the difference
between the estimated fair market value at December 31, 2006 of the shares of common stock subject
to the option and the aggregate exercise price of such option.

Employment Agreements and Lack of Keyman Insurance
On July 31, 2002, we entered into employment agreements with Timothy J. Kilkenny and Roger P.
Baresel. Each agreement is effective January 1, 2002, and has a term of two years; however, the
term is automatically extended for additional one-year terms, unless we or the employee gives
six-month advance notice of termination. These agreements provide, among other things, (i) an
annual base salary of at least $75,000 for Mr. Kilkenny (of which he has voluntarily agreed to
defer $25,000) and $65,000 for Mr. Baresel (of which he has voluntarily agreed to defer $15,000),
(ii) bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors, (iii) entitlement to fringe benefits
including medical and insurance benefits as may be provided to our other senior officers; and (iv)
eligibility to participate in our incentive, bonus, benefit or similar plans. These agreements
require the employee to devote the required time and attention to our business and affairs
necessary to carry out his responsibilities and duties. These agreements may be terminated under
certain circumstances and upon termination provide for (i) the employee to be released from
personal liability for our debts and obligations, and (ii) the payment of any amounts we owe the
employee.
We do not maintain any keyman insurance covering the death or disability of our executive
officers. However, Mr. Kilkennys life insurance carries a death benefit that would pay the bank
note totaling $77,297 at December 31, 2006, which he personally guaranteed.

Percent of class for any stockholder listed is calculated without regard to shares of common stock issuable to others
upon exercise of outstanding stock options. Any shares a stockholder is deemed to own by having the right to acquire
by exercise of an option or warrant are considered to be outstanding solely for the purpose of calculating that
stockholders ownership percentage. We computed the percentage ownership amounts in accordance with the provisions of
Rule 13d-3(d), which includes as beneficially owned all shares of common stock which the person or group has the
right to acquire within the next 60 days, based upon 6,741,135 outstanding shares of common stock as of March 30,

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
We are in default on an operating lease for certain equipment which is leased from one of our
significant shareholders who also holds a $320,000 interim loan which is also in default (see Note
E Notes Payable). The original lease was dated November 21, 2001 and the terms were $6,088 per
month for 12 months with a fair market purchase option at the end of the lease. Upon default on the
lease, we were allowed to continue leasing the equipment on a month-to-month basis at the same
monthly rate as the original lease. We have been unable to make the month-to-month payments. In
January and November 2006, we agreed to extend the expiration date on 425,000 and 140,000,
respectively, of common stock purchase warrants for the lessor in return for a credit of $17,960
and $3,940, respectively, on the operating lease. At December 31, 2006 we had recorded $270,142 in
unpaid lease payments. The lessor has not made any demands for payment or threatened to terminate
the month-to-month lease arrangement.
On August 2, 2000, we obtained a short-term loan of $100,000 from Timothy J. Kilkenny, our
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, through the issuance of a 14% promissory note.
The terms of the financing additionally provided for the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase
50,000 shares of our common stock at $.01 per share, and provided for certain registration rights.
The
27
promissory note required monthly interest payments, matured on the earlier of (i) the date
which is within five days of receipt of funds by us of any offering raising gross proceeds to us of
at least $1,000,000 or (ii) in three months, and was extendible for two 90-day periods upon
issuance of additional warrants exercisable for the purchase of 50,000 shares of our common stock
for $.01 per share for each extension. In the fourth quarter of 2000, our founder and CEO agreed to
reduce the interest rate on the promissory note to 9% and waive the warrant provisions relating to
extensions of the loan. We repaid $50,000 on this note and the note was due in May 2001. In May
2001 Mr. Kilkenny agreed to a replacement note with an interest rate of 8.5% with monthly principal
and interest payments. This note was fully paid in 2005.

On September 16, 2005, we engaged MURRELL, HALL, MCINTOSH & CO., PLLP as our new independent
accountants, commencing with the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and thereby
dismissed Evans, Gaither & Associates, PLLC. The decision to change independent accountants was
approved by our Board of Directors.
On January 30, 2004, we engaged EVANS, GAITHER & ASSOCIATES, PLLC as our new independent

dismissed Buxton & Cloud PC. The decision to change independent accountants was approved by our
Board of Directors.
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees, including expenses, billed to us for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 by our principal accountant.

The audit fees include services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our
financial statements, review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports and other
fees that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory
filings or engagements. Because our Board of Directors only consists of two directors, each of whom
does not qualify as an independent director; our Board of Directors performs the functions of an
audit committee. It is our policy that the Board of Directors pre-approve all audit, tax and
related services. All of the services described above in this Item 14 were approved in advance by
our Board of Directors. No items were approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(ii)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FullNet Communications, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
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 audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of FullNet Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated
cash flows for the years then ended, 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 A to the financial statements, the Companys current
liabilities exceed its current assets by $2,374,575 as of December 31, 2006. The Company also had
disputed back billings from one of its access providers. The Company disputes this claim and has
not recorded any liability related to this claim as of December 31, 2006. An adverse outcome
regarding this claim could have a materially adverse effect on the Companys ability to continue as
a going concern. These matters, among others as discussed in Note A to the financial statements,
raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Managements plans in regard to these matters are described in Note A. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FullNet Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
NOTE A ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
FullNet Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) is an integrated communications
provider (ICP) offering integrated communications, Internet connectivity and data storage to
individuals, businesses, organizations, educational institutions and governmental agencies. Through
its subsidiaries, FullNet, Inc., FullTel, Inc. and FullWeb, Inc., the Company provides high
quality, reliable and scalable Internet solutions designed to meet customer needs. Services offered
include:
|
|
|
Dial-up and direct high-speed connectivity to the Internet through the FullNet brand name; |
|
|
|
|
Backbone services to private label Internet services providers (ISPs) and businesses; |
|
|
|
|
Carrier-neutral telecommunications premise co-location; |
|
|
|
|
Web page hosting; |
|
|
|
|
Equipment co-location; and |
|
|
|
|
Traditional telephone services. |
The Company operates and grants credit, on an uncollateralized basis. Concentrations of credit risk
with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the
Companys customer base and their dispersion across different industries.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However,
the Company has sustained substantial net losses. At December 31, 2006 current liabilities exceeded
current assets by $2,374,575 and total liabilities exceeded total assets by $1,677,367. In
addition, during September 2005, the Company received a back billing from AT&T (formerly SBC) of
approximately $230,000. Since then, the Company has received a number of additional back billings
from AT&T that total in excess of $7,000,000. The Company believes AT&T has no basis for these
charges, is currently reviewing these billings with its attorneys and plans to vigorously dispute
the charges. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any expense or liability related to these
billings. An adverse outcome regarding this claim could have a materially adverse effect on the
Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, the ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent upon continued operations of the Company that in turn is dependent
upon the Companys ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain
present financing, to achieve the objectives of its business plan and to succeed in its future
operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
The Companys business plan includes, among other things, expansion of its Internet access services
through mergers and acquisitions and the development of its web hosting, co-location and
traditional telephone services. Execution of the Companys business plan will require significant
capital to fund capital expenditures, working capital needs and debt service. Current cash balances
will not be sufficient to fund the Companys current business plan beyond the next few months. As a
consequence, the Company is currently focusing on revenue enhancement and cost cutting
opportunities as well as working to sell non-core assets and to extend vendor payment terms. The
Company continues to seek additional convertible debt or equity financing as well as the
F-6
placement of a credit facility to fund the Companys liquidity. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to obtain additional capital on satisfactory terms, or at all, or on terms
that will not dilute the shareholders interests.
NOTE B SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
1. Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FullNet Communications, Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
2. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Access service revenues are recognized
on a monthly basis over the life of each contract as services are provided. Contract periods range
from monthly to yearly. Carrier-neutral telecommunications co-location revenues and traditional
telephone services are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of the contract as services are
provided. Revenue that is billed in advance of the services provided is deferred until the services
are provided by the Company. Revenue related to set up charges is also deferred and amortized over
the life of the contract.
During 2006 the Company recorded approximately $7,800 in reciprocal compensation revenue (fees for
terminating AT&T (formerly SBC) customers local calls onto our network). During the same period
in 2005 the Company recorded approximately $93,000 of reciprocal compensation revenue. The Company
began billing AT&T during 2004, and has billed for the periods of March 2003 through June 2006.
AT&T failed to pay and is disputing approximately $166,700. The Company is pursuing AT&T for all
balances due, however there is significant uncertainty as to whether or not we will be successful.
Upon the ultimate resolution of AT&Ts challenge, we will recognize the associated revenue, if any.
On a going-forward basis it is uncertain at what rate or if any reciprocal compensation will be
allowed in our successor interconnection agreement with AT&T

4. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
|
|
|
Software |
|
3 years |
Computers and equipment |
|
5 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
|
7 years |
Leasehold improvements |
|
Shorter of estimated life of improvement or the lease term |
5. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of acquired customer bases and covenants not to compete and are
carried net of accumulated amortization. Upon initial application of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), as of
January 1, 2002, the Company reassessed useful lives and began amortizing these intangible assets
over their estimated useful lives and in direct relation to any decreases in the acquired customer
bases to which they relate. Management believes that such amortization reflects the pattern in
which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise utilized.
6. Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets in determining impairment losses on long-term assets. All long-lived assets held
and used by the Company, including intangible assets, are reviewed to determine whether any events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
The Company bases its evaluation on such impairment indicators as the nature of the assets, the
future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well
as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators
are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable the Company determines whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an
undiscounted cash flows analysis of the asset. If an impairment has occurred, the Company
recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated value of the
asset.

compensation. This compensation is vested.
Accrued other liabilities includes $51,363 and $40,995 for unused vacation and sick leave at
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
8. Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability
method, deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between the tax basis of an
asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements and carry
forwards that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Deferred income tax
assets or liabilities are determined by applying the presently enacted tax rates and laws.
Additionally, the Company provides a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets if, based on the
weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
9. Income (loss) per share
Income (loss) per share basic is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of shares of stock outstanding during the year, including shares issuable without additional
consideration. Income (loss) per share assuming dilution is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year adjusted for the effect
of dilutive potential shares calculated using the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted loss per share were the same for the year ended December 31, 2006 because
there was a net loss for the year.
Stock options exercisable for the purchase of 1,262,921 common stock shares at exercise prices
ranging from $.08 to $3.00 per share were outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2005, but
were not included in the calculation of income per share assuming dilution because the options
were not dilutive.

Warrants exercisable for the purchase of 953,248 common stock shares at exercise prices
ranging from $.08 to $2.55 per share were outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2005, but
were not included in the calculation of income per share assuming dilution because the warrants
were not dilutive.
Convertible promissory notes convertible into 1,036,992 common stock shares at conversion prices
ranging from $.15 to $.51 per share were outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2005 but were
not included in the calculation of income per share assuming dilution because the convertible
notes were not dilutive.
10. Stock Options and Warrants
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on
January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method as described in the standard. Under the
modified prospective method, the Company is required to record compensation cost for new and
modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards prospectively and record
compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion at time of adoption, of previously issued
and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. As of January 1, 2006,
the Company had no unvested outstanding awards and as a result, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had
no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements or consolidated results of operations.
The Company used the modified prospective method at the date of adoption and therefore results for
the year ended December 31, 2005 have not been restated. Had compensation expense for employee
stock options granted under our stock option plans been determined based on fair value at the grant
date consistent with SFAS No. 123, our net income and earnings per share for the year ended
December 31, 2005 would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

11. Advertising
The Company expenses advertising production costs as they are incurred and advertising
communication costs the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense for the years
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $33,361 and $50,189, respectively.
12. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures; accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments that amended FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement permits fair value
re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument containing an embedded derivative that would
otherwise require bifurcation, and broadens a Qualified Special Purpose Entitys (QSPE) permitted
holdings to include passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to other derivative
financial instruments. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued
or subject to a re-measurement event occurring after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year
beginning after September 15, 2006. This Statement has no current applicability to the Companys
financial statements. Management plans to adopt this Statement on January 1, 2007 and it is
anticipated that the initial adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN
48), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies
the accounting and reporting for income taxes where interpretation of the law is uncertain. FIN 48
prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation
and disclosure of income tax uncertainties with respect to positions taken or expected to be taken
in income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This
Statement has no current applicability to the Companys financial statements. Management plans to
adopt this Statement on January 1, 2007 and it is anticipated that the initial adoption of FIN 48
will not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement that addresses how
companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for
recognition or disclosure purposes under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No.
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. Management is assessing the impact of the adoption of
this Statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS
No. 158 requires (a) recognition of the funded status (measured as the difference between the fair
value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation) of a benefit plan as an asset or liability in
the employers statement of financial position, (b) measurement of the funded status as of the
employers fiscal year-end with limited exceptions, and (c) recognition of changes in the funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive
F-12
income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure
requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The
requirement to measure the plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers
fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2008. This Statement has no current applicability to the Companys financial statements.
Management plans to adopted this Statement on
December 31, 2006 and the adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have a material impact to the Companys
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
(SAB No. 108). SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements
should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No.
108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement
approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material
in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is
material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year
retained earnings and disclose the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected in
the cumulative adjustment. SAB No. 108 will be effective beginning January 1, 2007 and it is
anticipated that the initial adoption of SAB No. 108 will not have a material impact on the
Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities that permits companies to choose to measure many financial assets and
liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has
been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated
financial statements.

The Companys previously recognized intangible assets consist primarily of customer bases and
covenants not to compete relating to those customer bases. Upon initial application of SFAS No. 142
as of January 1, 2002, the Company reassessed useful lives and began amortizing these intangible
assets over their estimated useful lives and in direct relation to any decreases in the acquired
customer bases to which they relate. Management believes that such amortization reflects the
pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 relating to intangible
assets was $43,652 and $157,054, respectively.

(1) This loan and accrued interest of $184,197 was past due on December 31, 2006; the Company
has not made payment or negotiated an extension of the loan and the lender has not made any
demands.
(2) During 2000 and 2001, the Company issued 11% convertible promissory notes or converted other
notes payable or accounts payable to convertible promissory notes in an amount totaling $2,257,624.
The terms of the Notes were 36 months with limited prepayment provisions. Each of the Notes may be
converted by the holder at any time at $1.00 per common stock share and by the Company upon
registration and when the closing price of the Companys common stock has been at or above $3.00
per share for three consecutive trading days. Additionally, the Notes were accompanied by warrants
exercisable for the purchase of the number of shares of Companys common stock equal to the number
obtained by dividing 25% of the face amount of the Notes purchased by $1.00. These warrants were
exercisable at any time during the five years following issuance at an exercise price of $.01 per
share. Under the terms of the Notes, the Company was required to register the common stock
underlying both the Notes and the detached warrants by filing a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days following the Final Expiration Date of the
Offering (March 31, 2001). On May 31, 2001, the Company exchanged 2,064,528 shares of its common
stock and warrants (exercisable for the purchase of 436,748 shares of common stock at $2.00 per
share) for convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $1,746,988 (recorded at
$1,283,893) plus accrued interest of $123,414. The warrants expired on May 31, 2006. This exchange
was accounted for as an induced debt conversion and a debt conversion expense of $370,308 was
recorded.
Pursuant to the provisions of the convertible promissory notes, the conversion price was reduced
from $1.00 per share on January 15, 2001 to $.49 per share on December 31, 2003 for failure to
register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the common stock underlying the convertible
promissory notes and underlying warrants on February 15, 2001. Reductions in conversion price were
recognized at the date of reduction by an increase to additional paid-in capital and an increase in
the discount on the convertible promissory notes. Furthermore, the interest rate was increased to
12.5% per annum from 11% per annum because the registration statement was not filed before March 1,
2001. At December 31, 2006, the outstanding principal and interest of the convertible promissory
notes was $803,242.
On January 1, 2002, the Company recorded 11,815 shares of common stock issuable in payment of
$11,815 accrued interest on a portion of the Companys convertible promissory notes.
In November and December 2003 and March 2004, $455,000, $50,000 and $5,636, respectively, of these
convertible promissory notes matured. The Company has not made payment or negotiated an extension
of these notes, and the lenders have not made any demands. The Company is currently developing a
plan to satisfy these notes subject to the approval of each individual note holder.

Rental expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was
approximately $176,807 and $170,284, respectively.
The Companys long-term non-cancelable operating lease includes scheduled base rental increases
over the term of the lease. The total amount of the base rental payments is charged to expense on
the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The Company has recorded a deferred credit of
$70,411 and $80,827 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which is reflected in Other
Long-term Liabilities on the Balance Sheet to reflect the net excess of rental expense over cash
payments since inception of the lease. In addition to the base rent payments the Company pays a
monthly allocation of the buildings operating expenses.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2005, the
Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $2,700,000 that will expire at
various dates through 2022. As such carry forward can only be used to offset future taxable income
of the Company, management has provided a valuation allowance until it is more likely than not that
taxable income will be generated.

NOTE H STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT
Common Stock Warrants for 18,000 shares of the Companys common stock were exercised in January
2006 for $180.
NOTE I RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is in default on an operating lease for certain equipment which is leased from one of
its significant shareholders who also holds a $320,000 interim loan that is also in default (see
Note E Notes Payable). The original lease was dated November 21, 2001 and the terms were $6,088
per month for 12 months with a fair market purchase option at the end of the lease. Upon default on
the lease, the Company was allowed to continue leasing the equipment on a month-to-month basis at
the same monthly rate as the original lease. The Company has been unable to make the month-to-month
payments. In January and November 2006, the Company agreed to extend the expiration date on
425,000 and 140,000, respectively, of common stock purchase warrants for the lessor in return for a
credit of $17,960 and $3,940, respectively, on the operating lease. At December 31, 2006 the
Company had recorded $270,142 in unpaid lease payments. The lessor has not made any demands for
payment or threatened to terminate the month-to-month lease arrangement.
On August 2, 2000, the Company obtained a short-term loan of $100,000 from its founder and CEO
through the issuance of a 14% promissory note. The terms of the financing additionally provided for
the issuance of five-year warrants exercisable for the purchase of 50,000 shares of the Companys
common stock at $.01 per share, and provided for certain registration rights. The promissory note
required monthly interest payments, matured on the earlier of (i) the date which is within five
days of receipt of funds by the Company of any offering raising gross proceeds to the Company of at
least $1,000,000 or (ii) in three months, and was extendible for two 90-day periods upon issuance
of additional warrants exercisable for the purchase of 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock
exercisable at $.01 per share for each extension. In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Companys
founder and CEO agreed to reduce the interest rate on the promissory note to 9% and waive the
warrant provisions relating to extensions of the loan. The Company repaid $50,000 on this note
during 2000 and the note was due in May 2001. In May 2001 the Companys founder and CEO agreed to a
replacement note with an interest rate of 8.5% with monthly principal and interest payments. This
note was fully paid in 2005.
NOTE J SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company had one customer that comprised approximately
27% of total revenues. The customers service contract expired on December 31, 2005 without
renewal or extension. Consequently, the Company experienced a loss of this revenue commencing in
2006 without a corresponding reduction in expenses.
NOTE K CREDITOR SETTLEMENTS AND DEBT FORGIVENESS
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company negotiated and settled the following
liabilities for less than their carrying values. The basic and diluted per share amount of the
aggregate gain on debt forgiveness for the year ended December 31, 2006 was zero.

NOTE L ACQUISITION
On July 30, 2004, the Company purchased approximately 1,300 of the dial-up Internet access
customers of CWIS Internet Services, Inc. (CWIS), an Oklahoma corporation. In addition to paying
$25,000 at closing, the Company paid CWIS an amount based upon the future collected revenues
received from all active CWIS customers transferred at the time of closing for eighteen months
following the closing. The aggregate purchase price has been allocated to the underlying net assets
purchased, including an intangible asset, which consists of the acquired customer base, based on
their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The intangible asset is being amortized based
on decreases of the acquired customer base. As of December 31, 2006 an additional $95,115 had been
paid based on collected revenues and was recorded as an increase to the intangible asset.
NOTE M CONTINGENCIES
During September 2005, the Company received a back billing from AT&T (formerly SBC) of
approximately $230,000. Since then, the Company has received a number of additional back billings
from AT&T that total in excess of $7,000,000. The Company believes AT&T has no basis for these
charges, is currently reviewing these billings with its attorneys and plans to vigorously dispute
the charges. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any expense or liability related to these
billings.
As a telecommunications company, the Company is affected by regulatory proceedings in the ordinary
course of its business at the state and federal levels. These include proceedings before both the
Federal Communications Commission and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). In addition, in
its operations the Company relies on obtaining many of its underlying telecommunications services
and/or facilities from incumbent local exchange carriers or other carriers pursuant to
interconnection or other agreements or arrangements. In January, 2007, the Company concluded a
regulatory proceeding pursuant to the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 before the OCC
relating to the terms of its interconnection agreement with Southwestern Bell Telephone, L.P.
d/b/a AT&T, which succeeds a prior interconnection agreement. Approval of the agreement by the OCC
is expected by the end of April, 2007. The agreement may be affected by regulatory proceedings at
the federal and state levels, with possible adverse impacts on the Company. The Company is unable
to accurately predict the outcomes of such regulatory proceedings at this time, but an unfavorable
outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition or
results of operations.
