(A Development stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS & BASIS OF PRESENTATION
A. Description of business
FoneFriend, Inc. ("FoneFriend" or the "Company") was incorporated on April 24, 2001, under the laws of the State of Nevada, and on November 21, 2002, was merged with and into FoneFriend, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
The Company is a development stage enterprise and has not generated any revenue during its history. The primary business of the Company is Internet Telephony. The Company provides Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications and related services to customers worldwide for a low monthly fee of about $15.00.
B. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the presentation of interim financial information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2004 were filed on July 16, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are hereby incorporated by reference. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2005.
Significant Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
FONEFRIEND, INC.
(A Development stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Issuance of Shares for Service
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Reclassifications
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.
Recent Pronouncements
On May 15, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 150 (FAS 150), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. FAS 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be classified as equity or "mezzanine" equity, by now requiring those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) in the statement of financial position. Further, FAS 150 requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives. FAS 150 affects an entity's classification of the following freestanding instruments: a) Mandatorily redeemable instruments b) Financial instruments to repurchase an entity's own equity instruments c) Financial instruments embodying obligations that the issuer must or could choose to settle by issuing a variable number of its shares or other equity instruments based solely on (i) a fixed monetary amount known at inception or (ii) something other than changes in its own equity instruments d) FAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The guidance in FAS 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For private companies, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of FAS 150 for the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 does not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R). FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities and significantly changes the consolidation application of consolidation policies to variable interest entities and, thus improves comparability between enterprises engaged in similar activities when those activities are conducted through variable interest entities. The Company does not hold any variable interest entities.

NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK
During the period ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued common stocks for various services to following parties:
The Company issued 3,524,500 shares of common stock for consulting services. These issuances have been valued at the fair market value on the date of issuance and amounted to $253,443. Included in above, 1,800,000 shares were issued to officers of the Company valued at $144,000.
The Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock for legal services. These issuances have been valued at the fair market on the date of issuance and amounted to $18,000.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued 1,631,659 shares of common stock valued at $124,216 in exchange of settlement of debt amounting $107,500 resulting in a loss of $16,716.
NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $ 6,603,388 at June 30, 2004. The Company incurred net losses of $688,360 and $75,457 for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing 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 as a going concern.
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is actively pursuing additional funding and potential merger or acquisition candidates and strategic partners, which would enhance stockholders' investment. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 1, 2004, the board of directors accepted the resignation of two of the directors of the Company and the appointment of three new directors.
On July 1, 2004, the Company closed its acquisition of 50,000 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) customers from InfiniCom Networks, Inc. The Company acquired 50,000 customers for consideration of $7,500,000, which was paid by $250,000 in cash, a promissory note for $500,000 and 96,428,571 shares of common stock. The Company issued 96,428,571 shares of common stock on June 30, 2004, valued at $8,928,571, and has reflected the shares issued as advance payment for list of customers in the equity section in the accompanying financial statements. On July 8, 2004, the Company acquired an additional 10,000 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) customers from InfiniCom Networks, Inc. The additional customers were for consideration of $1,500,000, which was paid in the form of a promissory note for $150,000 and 19,285,714 shares of common stock.
The issuance of stock in this transaction will result in InfiniCom becoming the major shareholder of FoneFriend, owning approximately 82% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
On July 2, 2004, the Company entered into Asset Purchase agreement with YAP International, Inc. The Agreement provides for the sale of right, title and interest in Technology License Agreement with FoneFriend Systems, Inc.

The Company has represented that it will distribute the Yap shares to its existing shareholders of record on June 30, 2004, which will result in shareholders receiving one Yap share for each four shares of FoneFriend. This distribution is subject to the Company's determination that such a distribution is not in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or that the Company will not be deemed an underwriter for the purposes of the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 2. Plan of Operation
Overview
Background
We were originally incorporated in 1992 in Delaware under the name Picometrix Inc, and soon thereafter became a publicly traded company. In 1997, Picometrix, Inc. merged with another business and changed its name to IJNT.Net, and finally to Universal Broadband Networks, Inc. ("UBN"). On October 31, 2000, UBN filed a voluntary petition for reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Eastern California. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Plan of Merger, dated as of June 12, 2002 (and subsequently approved by the Bankruptcy Court), between FoneFriend, Inc., a Nevada corporation founded in April, 2001 ("FoneFriend Nevada") and UBNon November 21, 2002, UBN completed its acquisition of all the assets of FoneFriend Nevada. Subsequent to this acquisition, FoneFriend Nevada was dissolved and UBN, a Delaware corporation, changed its name to FoneFriend, Inc.
Overview
We are a development stage company which currently has no revenues. Our primary business for Fiscal 2004 through June 2004 was to market an Internet telephony device called the "FoneFriend" and related services to consumers and businesses worldwide. The Internet telephony device was licensed from FoneFriend Systems, Inc. ("FSI") in April 2001. On July 2, 2004, subsequent to our year-end, we entered into an agreement with YAP International, Inc. ("YAP") to transfer certain assets and technology relating to the FSI agreement, which assets and technology we determined were unnecessary under our revised Plan of Operation, in exchange for 5,416,151 shares of the common stock of YAP, . The Company did not receive the shares pursuant to the agreement with Yap and is considering revisiting the transaction with Yap.
InfiniCom Acquisition
On July 1, 2004, we completed the acquisition of 50,000 Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") customers from InfiniCom Networks, Inc., a California corporation, ("InfiniCom") whereby we issued 96,428,571 shares of our common stock to InfiniCom, in addition to cash of $250,000 and a promissory note for $500,000. Further, on July 8, 2004, we acquired an additional 10,000 VoIP customers from InfiniCom in exchange for 19,285,714 shares of common stock and a promissory note for $150,000. Both promissory notes bear simple interest at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum and are due upon demand.
Prior to the Acquisition, we had approximately 23,114,603 common shares issued and outstanding. As a result of the Acquisition, our total shares of common stock outstanding increased to 138,828,888 (on July 8, 2004), of which InfiniCom controls 83.35%. InfiniCom is 100% owned and controlled by Sean McCann.
As a result of Mr. McCann's sole ownership of InfiniCom, his share control of FoneFriend and InfiniCom's agreements, we are solely dependent upon Mr. McCann, who is not an officer, director or employee of FoneFriend.
Our New Plan of Operation
As a result of the InfiniCom and YAP transactions we have revised our plan of operation to focus on the VoIP customers acquired from InfiniCom.
We will acquire our customers by direct marketing, virual marketing and performance based Internet marketing. We forecast that much of our customer growth will come from performance based Internet marketing agreements. The advantage of performance based Internet marketing agreements is that there is no cost to us without compensating revenues.
An example of one such performance based marketing agreement we have entered into is the agreement with InfiniCom. InfiniCom agrees to supply subscribers at a cost of $150 each. Annual revenue from each subscriber is $180 under this arrangement, after payment to InfiniCom, under our servicing agreement guarantees that we will receive a minimum of 10% of the subscriber revenues, and we estimate that we will receive approximately 15% of the subscriber revenues, or greater, depending on the number of subscribers. InfiniCom warrants that it will replace the customer if any particular customer drops service with us prior to 52 weeks from the date that customer is delivered. As of the date of this filing we have no commenced the receipt of revenues from InfniCom, as a result of the acquisition of the subscriber base.
Our customers utilize a proprietary software program, offered by InfiniCom, which allows each customer to place long distance and international telephone calls directly from its desktop or laptop computer. The customer is offered an unlimited calling plan, at a rate of $15 U.S., per month, to the U.S., Canada, most of Europe and certain countries in Asia.
We use third-party providers to support customer care. After certain subscriber counts have been achieved, we may decide to support internal customer care operations from cash flow.
We are currently considering offering our customers a stand-alone, Internet appliance device (much like our previous FoneFriend device), which will allow our customers to use their ordinary telephone handset to make calls using our service. We plan to offer this product at no cost to our customers (and potential customers) in exchange for their commitment to a long-term service agreement. Alternatively, we may offer such product at a charge to those customers who use our service on a month-to-month basis.
Through InfiniCom as our agent, we bill and collect money for services at the time the service is offered directly from a subscriber's credit card or check card. Since our services include the ability for call termination to points outside the unlimited dialing area, we hold a $50 pending authorization as security. The pending authorization is separate from the monthly service fees charged and collected. Any additional charges are settled using the pending authorization. If there are no additional charges, the pending authorization is released at the end of the subscribers billing cycle.
We currently have a $3 million facility with Dutchess that may be used for a combination of future customer acquisition, network build-out and corporate development. This facility is satisfactory for our current plans.
Regarding the disposition of FoneFriend technology related assets:
Management evaluated the potential yield from commercializing the "FoneFriend" technology, versus the projected costs of $2 to $3 million to build the FoneFriend infrastructure and implement a marketing campaign to attract customers. Management concluded that our financial and personnel resources would be better spent on marketing the new technology and services to the customers being acquired from InfiniCom.
Results of Operations.
Three month period ending June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003
We had no revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2003 or 2004. Further, we incurred operating expenses of $667,161 in three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $75,457 in the three months ended June 30, 2003. The net loss was $688,360 in the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $75,457 in the three months ended June 30, 2003.
The losses can be expected to continue until we are able to generate revenues in excess of expenses from our recently acquired subscriber base, which revenue is anticipated to commence during the next quarter.
Sales
Since inception of our current business, we have not generated any revenues. However, subsequent to June 30, 2004, as a result of the July InfiniCom transaction, we anticipate the generation of revenues in the near future. Specifically, we acquired 60,000 customers, generating gross revenues of $15 per customer, per month, or $900,000, of which we anticipate retaining approximately $130,000 of net proceeds after payment to InfiniCom under our servicing agreement.
Expenses
Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $667,161 and $75,457, respectively, an increase of $591,704. The increase in expenses was primarily attributable to consulting fees, which were paid for by issuing shares of our common stock in exchange for services.. Additionally, we wrote off our investment in the stock of FoneFriend Systems, Inc. incurring further expense of $150,000.
We expect increases in expenses through the fiscal year ending March, 2005 as we move towards implementing our plan of operation. We expect the increase to be primarily in marketing related expenses, such as advertising and consulting fees, and additional salary expense as we increase our personnel commensurate with the growth of our operations.
Income/Losses
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $688,360 versus a loss of $75,457 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $612,903. The increase was primarily attributable to increased consulting expenses, which were paid for by issuing shares of our common stock, and the write down in value of our investment in the stock of FoneFriend Systems, Inc.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a negative impact on our results of operations since inception. Until we are able to sell products and generate revenue we will be unable to pass on inflationary increases in our expenses from Development Stage Operations through increases in revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows used in operations were $(171,512) for the three months ended June 30, 2004, versus cash flows used in operations of $(21,364) for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Net cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2004 of $1,781 were primarily from $423,000 in proceeds from loans payable.
Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $423,293 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, versus $1,300 during the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Factors that may affect OUR PLAN OF OPERATION
Our lack of operating history creates substantial uncertainty about future results.
We are a development stage company with no operating history. We have recently switched our plan of operation and are unsure as to our abilities to successfully support our recently acquired VoIP customers. As a result of our lack of operating history, prospective investors have no operating and financial data about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance and an investment in our stock. Our ability to provide VoIP services on a widespread basis and to generate operating profits and positive operating cash flow will depend on our ability, among other things, to:
market our product and services and generate demand for them among our targeted client categories;
develop, enhance, promote and carefully manage our brand;
respond appropriately and timely to competitive developments;
develop our operational support and other back office systems;
attract and retain an adequate client base;
secure additional financing;
attract and retain qualified personnel; and
enter into and implement long term agreements for leased capacity and other services with established telephone companies on satisfactory terms.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve any of these objectives, generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability, meet our working capital requirements or compete successfully in the telecommunications industry.
In addition, our success will be particularly dependent on our ability to make further enhancements to our products and services, and to market such products and services in a commercially viable manner, as to which there can be no assurance. Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business, including, but not limited to, lack of client acceptance, competition and inadequate marketing. Our inability to obtain funds through the Equity Line of Credit will hinder our efforts to fully implement our planned marketing activities in connection with our product and services. As a result we would be required to reduce or curtail operations. We can make no assurance that we will be able to generate a profit.
Our independent auditors have expressed doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we experienced a net loss from development stage operations of $688,360 and had cash flows of $1,781. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we experienced a net loss from development stage operations of $75,457 and had negative cash flows of $20,064. In addition, we had substantial shareholders' equity operating deficits for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004 of $244,716 and $543,057, respectively. Lastly, we have significant present and future working capital demands, which will require substantial equity and debt financing which, with the exception of the Equity Line of Credit with Dutchess, have not yet been secured. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors have also expressed doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In an effort to reverse the negative financial conditions noted above, we have entered into the Equity Line of Credit with Dutchess, which allows us access up to $3 Million dollars in equity capital during the calendar years 2004 through 2006. We believe this financing will help us to further develop our business and facilitate our development of an operating presence in the Internet telephony market.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully implement our plans, including generating profitable operations, generating positive cash flows from operations and obtaining additional capital to meet present and future working capital demands.
The technology that allows voice communications over the Internet is in its infancy, and the quality of Internet telephone calls needs improvement. Callers could experience delays, errors in transmissions or other interruptions in service, all of which could negatively impact our future revenues, reputation and brand.
The technology that allows voice communications over the Internet is still in its infancy. Historically, the sound quality of Internet telephone calls was poor. As the industry has grown, sound quality has improved, but the technology requires additional refinement. Additionally, the Internet's capacity constraints may impede the acceptance of Internet telephony. Callers could experience delays, errors in transmissions or other interruptions in service that are beyond our control. The quality issues inherent in Internet telephony could negatively impact our future revenues, reputation and brand. Furthermore, the technology that we have access to through InfiniCom is unproven and has not been tested in a commercial environment. Therefore, there can be no assurances that our product will function as anticipated when we are able to commence sales.
Our future performance will depend, in part, on our ability to provide discounted domestic international long distance communications services with the cost savings of carrying voice traffic over the Internet, as compared to carrying calls over traditional long distance networks. The price of long distance calls may decline to a point where we no longer have such a cost advantage, which will be detrimental to our business prospects.
Our strategy for success is based partly on our ability to provide discounted domestic and international long distance communications services with the cost savings of carrying voice traffic over the internet, as compared to carrying calls over traditional long distance networks, such as those owned by AT&T, MCI
We intend to rely upon several unaffiliated, third party companies for computer equipment and software, network services, component parts, manufacturing, systems integration and operational aspects of our business. Our inability to maintain relationships with, or the loss of one or more of these unaffiliated companies, or the failure of their subcontractors or suppliers to meet our operational requirements may force us to reduce or eliminate expenditures for developing our infrastructure, research and development, marketing of our product or otherwise curtail or discontinue operations, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
The Company intends to rely upon several unaffiliated, third party companies, for computer equipment and software, network and telecommunications services, component parts, manufacturing, systems integration and operational aspects of our business. This outsourcing strategy involves certain risks, including the potential lack of adequate capacity and reduced control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yield, quality, and costs. In the event that any significant subcontractor were to become unable or unwilling to continue to supply, manufacture or maintain our product or related services in the required volumes, we would have to identify and qualify acceptable replacements. Finding replacements could take time, and management cannot be sure that additional sources would be available on a timely basis. As a result, we are subject to the risk of interruptions in operations or supplies due to changes in market demand, servicing costs, and competitors' prices. Our ability to maintain relationships with, or the loss of, these unaffiliated companies, or the failure of their subcontractors or suppliers to meet our operational requirements may require us to reduce or eliminate expenditures for developing our infrastructure, research and development, marketing of our product or otherwise curtail or discontinue operations, all of which may have a material adverse affect on out business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our common stock price has been or may continue to be volatile and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares for a profit.
The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile. For example, during the 52-week period ended August 16, 2004, the closing price of our common stock ranged from $0.04 to $0.51 per share. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as:
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
announcements of technological innovations, new products or services by us
or our potential competitors;
changes in our financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts regarding us or our potential competitors;
the addition or loss of strategic relationships or relationships with our potential customers, partners or consultants;
announcements by us or our potential competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
legal, regulatory or political developments;
additions or departures of key personnel;
sales of our common stock by insiders or stockholders; and
general market conditions.
In addition, the stock market in general, and the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, as well as the market for Internet telephony services and telecommunications related companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market and industry factors may reduce our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.
Existing stockholders will experience significant dilution from our sale of shares to Dutchess.
The sale of shares pursuant to our Investment Agreement with Dutchess may have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our potential net income per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price at the time we exercise our "put" options, the more shares we will have to issue to Dutchess to draw down on the full equity line with Dutchess. If our stock price decreases, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.
Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced "Penny" stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser's account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
Our agreements with InfiniCom, along with its patents, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights are crucial to our success. If InfiniCom defaults on its obligations under its agreements with us, we may not succeed or be forced to find an alternative Internet voice transmission technology, which may be cost prohibitive.
We regard InfiniCom's intellectual property as crucial to our success. If InfiniCom defaults in its obligations under its agreements with us, we may not succeed or be forced to find an alternative Internet voice transmission technology, which could be prohibitively expensive.
The FCC and state regulations may limit the services we can offer and restrict our intended operation and development of our business.
Our intended Internet telephony operations are not currently subject to direct regulation by the FCC or any federal, state or local governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. However, the FCC recently indicated that the regulatory status of some services offered over the Internet may have to be re-examined. New laws or regulations relating to Internet services, or existing laws found to apply to them, may have a material adverse effect on our intended plan of business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our planned provision of Internet telephony services could become subject to significant regulation at the federal, state and local levels. The costs of complying with these regulations and the delays in receiving required regulatory approvals or the enactment of new adverse regulation or regulatory requirements may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We cannot assure you that the FCC or state commissions will continue to refrain from taking regulatory action against us upon commencement of our business. If they do, we must fully comply with the rules of the FCC or state regulatory agencies, or face challenges to our authority to do business. Such challenges could cause us to incur substantial legal and administrative expenses.
Internet telephony is at an early stage of development, and it is difficult to predict the size of this market and its growth rate. We believe that our intended business will not grow without increased use of the Internet. Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services over the Internet are still uncertain. The Internet may not prove to be a viable commercial marketplace for a number of reasons, any of which could adversely affect our business.
Internet telephony is at an early stage of development, and it is hard to predict the size of this market and its growth rate. We believe that our intended business will not grow without increased use of the Internet. Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services over the Internet are still uncertain. We cannot predict whether potential customers will be willing to shift their traditional international or long distance calling activities to an Internet based solution like we intend to offer. The Internet may not prove to be a viable commercial marketplace for a number of reasons, including:
concerns about security;
Internet congestion;
inconsistent service; and
lack of cost-effective, high-speed access.
If the use of the Internet as a commercial marketplace does not continue to grow, we may not be able to grow our customer base, which could prevent us from increasing revenues or achieving profitability.
Our principal stockholders control our business affairs in which case minority stockholders will have little or no participation in our business affairs.
Currently, our principal stockholders, InfiniCom, Jackelyn Giroux and Gary A. Rasmussen, own or control in excess of 80% of our common stock. In addition, our agreements with Jackelyn Giroux and Gary A. Rasmussen, as amended, contain anti-dilution clauses which entitle them to maintain their equity positions in the Company at 21.2% and 25%, respectively. Pursuant to our termination agreement with Ms. Giroux, she will no longer be entitled to anti-dilution of her stock ownership, provided we remit monthly payments to her for past due salary. We are currently in default of such payments. Although we understand that Mr. Rasmussen intends to waive his anti-dilution provision only as it relates to the issuance of shares as the result of the InfiniCom transaction, which would result in the issuance of approximately 28,928,571 additional shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Rasmussen, the waiver of this provision has not been formally documented. Furthermore, notwithstanding the shares issued to InfiniCom, Mr. Rasmussen is currently entitled to receive 825,000 shares of common stock under the terms of his agreement with the Company, As a result, these individuals have significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders without the approval of minority stockholders. In addition, they are able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, which allows them to significantly control our affairs and management. They are also able to affect most corporate matters requiring stockholder approval by written consent, without the need for a duly noticed and duly-held meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, you will be limited in your ability to affect change in how we conduct our business.
The liquidating trustee under the plan of reorganization and subsequent merger of FoneFriend, Inc. with Universal Broadband, Inc. may have the right to require us to redeem their 5% stockholder interest in the Company at its option, at any time, for $3.0 million. Such a redemption may have a material adverse effect on us and force us to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. Additionally, the liquidating trustee may be entitled to receive additional stock pursuant to an anti-dilution clause contained in the plan of reorganization.
The Liquidating Trustee under the Plan of Reorganization and subsequent merger of FoneFriend, Inc. with Universal Broadband, Inc. may have the right to require us to redeem our 5% shareholder interest in the Company at its option, at any time, for $3.0 million. Such a redemption may have a material adverse effect on us and force us to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. Furthermore, we may have an obligation to issue additional shares to the Liquidating Trustee pursuant to an anti-dilution provision contained in the Plan of Reorganization. This may cause additional dilution to our stockholders. Finally, all of the shares in the possession of the Liquidating Trustee may be deemed to be "free trading" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, such shares would trade in the open market and the dilutive effect could have a negative impact on the market for our common stock. We intend to contest the position of the Liquidating Trustee and the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, and believe that the Liquidating Trustee is only entitled to a redemption out of surplus capital. In addition, Section 160(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits redemptions of capital stock when the capital of the corporation is impaired or when such purchase or redemption would cause any impairment of the capital of the corporation. This statute has been interpreted by the courts to mean that a corporation can only purchase its own stock out of surplus. Currently, we do not have any surplus, and a redemption of our common stock at this point in time would be prohibited as a matter of law.
We are highly dependent upon Sean McCaan and his abilities to operate InfiniCom
As a result of our agreements with InfiniCom, and the ownership by InfiniCom of approximately 83.35% of our common restricted stock, and the ownership of 100% of InfiniCom by Sean McCaan, we are highly dependent upon InfiniCom and Mr. McCaan and his ability to serve our customers and produce our revenues.
Employees
The Company currently has two full time and two part time employees. We believe our relationships with all personnel are good. The Company plans to hire additional personnel at such time as our business growth demands.
Promoters
On May 4, 2004, we terminated our agreement with RR Inv Holdings, Inc. due to their lack of performance. Accordingly, we instructed the escrow agent to return all shares held in the name of RR Inv Holdings. We received 500,000 shares from the escrow agent. We then instructed our transfer agent to cancel the returned certificates and place a "stop transfer" order on the remaining 400,000 shares. Our transfer agent has since received the remaining shares and has effected their cancellation.
On May 17, 2004, we engaged Equity Market Information Systems, Inc. (EMIS) for investor relations and public relations services for our Company. Our engagement with them provides that they will profile our Company to broker dealers and the investment community via press releases, production of promotional materials, publication of corporate information on web sites and emails, telephone conference calls, internet news dissemination and other media forms. We have paid EMIS $35,000 in cash and have agreed to issue them 500,000 shares of registered common stock, of which 250,000 shares were issued in June, 2004, and 250,000 shares were issued in July, 2004. Additionally, EMIS was granted an option to acquire an additional 150,000 shares of our registered common stock at prices substantially above our current market price. A further condition of the Agreement prohibits EMIS from acquiring or trading in any additional shares of FoneFriend for the 3 month term of their agreement.
Need for Additional Financing
On May 18, 2004, the Company borrowed $118,000 from Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, L.P. The note was a discount note which resulted in a net proceeds of $100,000. The note is due on August 31, 1004. In addition, the Company had to pay $10,000 in legal fees for the preparation of the documentation for this transaction.
On June 4, 2004, the Company borrowed $305,000 from Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, L.P. The note was a discount note which resulted in net proceeds of $260,000. The Note is due on September 1, 2004, and mandatory payments from the exercise of their puts under the terms of The Investment Agreement of February 25, 2004. In addition, the Company had to pay $7,500 in legal fees for the preparation of the documentation for this transaction. The Company issued Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP, 100,000 shares of restricted common stock. The company entered into a 90-day consulting agreement with Dutchess Advisors, LLC, wherein they issued their principal 200,000 shares of common stock registered on Form S-8.
On June 8, 2004, the Company issued to Compass Capital 1,631,659 shares of its common stock registered under a SB-2 Registration as conversion of a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000, together with interest of $7,500.
On June 14, 2004, The Company exercised a put to Dutchess Private Equities Fund II, LP for 129,500 shares of common stock from which the Company netted $5,519.
Subsequent Events
On July 1, 2004, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of two of the directors of the Company and the Company appointed three new directors.
On July 1, 2004, the Company closed its acquisition of 50,000 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) customers from InfiniCom Networks, Inc. The company acquired 50,000 customers for $7.5 million, payable $250,000 in cash, promissory note for $500,000 and 96,428,571 shares of restricted common stock. The issuance of stock in this transaction resulted in InfiniCom becoming the majority stockholder of FoneFriend, owning approximately 81% of the Company's issued and outstanding share of common stock. Mr. Rasmussen's Consultancy agreement with the Company provides him with an anti-dilution interest whereby he is to maintain that number of shares of common stock equal to 25% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. As part of the InfiniCom transaction, he is to waive such provision as to all InfiniCom shares issued in connection with said transaction. The documentation of this waiver is forthcoming.
On July 2, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase agreement with YAP International Inc. The Agreement provides for the sale of right, title and interest in Technology License Agreement with FSI and other tangible and intangible property used in connection with or relating to the sold assets, including, without limitation, the goodwill of the Purchased Assets as a going concern, inventory of FoneFriend "beta" devices, Internet servers and related equipment and software and 225,000 shares of FSI. The Company was to receive five million four hundred sixteen thousand one hundred fifty one (5,416,151) shares of the Purchaser's common stock, subject to restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company did not receive the shares on the Closing Date and is considering revisiting the transaction.

Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Acquisition of InfiniCom Customer Base - On July 1, 2004, FoneFriend completed the acquisition of 50,000 Voice over Internet Protocol customers from InfiniCom.
Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreements, consisting of a Services and Marketing Agreement, a Network Carrier Services Agreement and a Stock Acquisition Agreement (collectively referred to as the "Agreements") dated June 6, 2004, as modified by the Letter Agreement of July 1, 2004, FoneFriend issued 96,428,571 shares of its common stock, $250,000 in cash and a promissory obligation to pay $500,000 in exchange for the 50,000 Voice over Internet Protocol customers.

InfiniCom is a recently formed California corporation which is 100% owned by Sean McCaan. As a result of the issuances of 96,428,571 and 19,285,714 shares of our common stock to InfiniCom, FoneFriend is controlled by Mr. McCaan (83%). Additionally, FoneFriend and InfiniCom have agreements in place; the Services and Marketing Agreement, and a Network Carrier Services Agreement, whereby InfiniCom controls the operations required to service the 60,000+/- Voice over Internet customers. FoneFriend's board of directors recognizes the significant conflict of interest created between FoneFriend, InfiniCom, and Mr. McCaan through the acquisition and the operative agreements, however has determined such agreements to be in the best interest of FoneFriend's stockholders.
FoneFriend did not have an independent board committee or other outside firm evaluate the terms of the acquisition.
Additionally, as a result of the Services and Marketing Agreement, the board has determined that FoneFriend can be operated more efficiently by utilizing office space provided by InfiniCom at no additional cost to FoneFriend. Therefore, FoneFriend has changed our offices to 8447 Wilshire Blvd., 5th Floor, Beverly Hills, California.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Going Concern Opinion
As shown in our accompanying financial statements, our independent auditors have stated that our losses from initial startup costs and our lack of substantial capital raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of our Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining new capital, developing our operations, implementing our marketing plan, building our infrastructure, containing our costs and generating revenues from the sale of our product and services. Management intends to undertake the following to address these issues: (1) endeavor to obtain equity funding from new investors to alleviate our capital deficiency, (2) obtain debt funding from new investors to alleviate our capital deficiency, (3) seek vendor financing programs for equipment and services, (4) pursue letters of credit for manufacturing, (5) implement leasing arrangements to finance the cost of placing our product in the market, and (6) structure equity participation arrangements with vendors and suppliers in exchange for their services.
We estimate we will need approximately $2,000,000 in additional capital during the next 12 months to cover overhead and develop our business. Our Dutchess equity line of credit, combined with possible debt or equity financing, is intended to address our capital requirements. If we develop revenues from operations during 2004 as a result of the InfiniCom transaction, the need for capital at the projected level will decrease.
Overall, we have funded our cash needs from inception through June 30, 2004, with a series of debt and equity transactions, including an Equity Line of Credit. The failure of the Equity Line of Credit or other equity financing to satisfy our working capital needs would have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
We had cash on hand of $1,875 and a stockholders' deficit of $543,057 as of June 30, 2004. We had cash on hand of $94 and stockholders' deficit of $244,715 as of March 31, 2004. Our current working capital deficit is primarily due to current obligations in accounts payable and accrued consulting expense. We can not yet, and may never be able to, rely on the existence of revenue from our business, however, we have no current or projected capital reserves that will sustain our business for any length of time. In addition, there can be no assurance additional capital in the future will be available to us when needed or available on terms favorable to us.
On a long-term basis, liquidity is dependent on continuation of successful financing activities. The funds raised from this offering will also be used to market our product as well as expand operations and contribute to working capital. However, there can be no assurance we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our growth potential will be adversely affected and we will have to significantly modify our plans. For example, if we are unable to raise sufficient capital to develop our business plan, we may need to:
Curtail our intended product launch
Forego or postpone marketing expenditures
Limit our future marketing efforts to areas we believe would be the most efficient and profitable.
Outsource goods and services as much as possible.
Demand for our planned product and current services will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our product and services, our ability to build consumer awareness and stimulate consumer purchases, the Internet telephony market in general, and general economic conditions, all of which are cyclical in nature. Overall, our success will be dependent upon implementing our plan of operation in an efficient and timely fashion, managing the risks associated with our business, contain our expenses and generate revenues and profits from the sale of our product and related services.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
We are a development stage company with no revenues and during the period covered by this quarterly report, our board of directors had responsibility for our internal controls and procedures over our financial reporting.
We have implemented and maintain disclosure controls and procedures which consist of: the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication and monitoring. Our scope of internal control therefore extends to policies, plans procedures, processes, systems, activities, initiatives, and endeavors required of a company with our limited transactions, expenses, and operations. These controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules.
There have been no significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referenced below. However, as a result of our agreement with InfiniCom we anticipate enhancements in our third and fourth quarter in our internal controls.
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of Robin Glanzl, our President, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, Ms. Glanzl concluded that, given the Company's limited operations, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Other than the shares of common stock registered pursuant to an effective registration statement filed on Form S-8 and SB-2, we believe that the issuance of the shares were exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2). The shares were issued directly by us and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The recipient of the shares occupied a privileged position with our company, due to its preexisting relationship with one or more of our officers or directors, that afforded them an opportunity for effective access to files and records of our company that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including our financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipient, immediately prior to issuing the shares, had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment. The recipient's management had the opportunity to speak with officers and directors of our company on several occasions prior to their investment decision. There were no commissions paid on the issuance of the shares. [In our agreement with InfiniCom, they represented that Trodden, as general counsel, had reviewed all filings and had an opportunity to ask questions of FoneFriend management. Also, Dennis Johnston was issued 300,000 shares of restricted stock for his efforts in finding and closing the InfiniCom transaction.]
