CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
|
The
accompanying June 30, 2006 financial statements have been prepared
by the
Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
at
June 30, 2006 and 2005 and for all periods presented have been
made.
Certain information and Footnote disclosures normally included
in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed
or
omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements
be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in
the Company's December 31, 2005 audited financial statements. The
results
of operations for periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are not
necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full years.

DESCRIPTION
OF THE BUSINESS
|
|
|
The
consolidated financial statements presented are those of Viper
Networks,
Inc. and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (the “Company”).
|
|
|
|
We
are striving to become a provider of Voice over Internet Protocol,
or
VoIP, communications products and services. Since we began VoIP
operations
in 2000, we have evolved from a pioneer in selling VIPER CONNECT,
a “push
to talk” technology developed by ITXC, to a next generation provider of
high-quality telecommunication services and technology for internet
protocol, or IP telephony applications. We utilize our VoIP technology
to
transmit digital voice communications over data networks and the
Internet.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
a. Basis
of Presentation.
|
|
|
|
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting and include its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in businesses which the Company does not control, but
has the
ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial
policies, are accounted for using the equity method and are included
in
Investments in Unconsolidated Businesses on the consolidated balance
sheet.
|
|
|
|
b. Inventories
|
|
|
|
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in first-out
method. Inventory costs include international inbound freight, duty
and custom fees.
|
|
|
|
c. Estimates
|
|
|
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted
accounting principles requires the Company 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
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and
expenses during the reporting periods. The Company is required
to make
judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain. Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are
appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different
assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be
materially
different from our reported results.
|
|
|
|
On
an on-going basis, the Company re-evaluates its estimates, including,
but
not limited to, those related to bad debts, product returns, warranties,
inventory reserves, long-lived assets, income taxes,

litigation,
and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical
experience and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable
under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities
that are not
readily apparent from other sources.
|
|
|
|
d. Property
and Equipment
|
|
|
|
Property
and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their
estimated
useful lives using the straight-line method. Useful lives range
from three
to five years for office furniture and equipment. Additions to
property
and equipment together with major renewals and betterments are
capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments
are
charged to expense as incurred.
|
|
|
|
e. Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
|
|
|
|
Goodwill
represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the
fair
value of the identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill
and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination
and
determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but
instead
are evaluated for impairment annually and if events or changes
in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired
per
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No.142 (“SFAS 142”),
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. An impairment loss would generally
be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets
exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The estimated
fair
value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. SFAS
142 also
requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be
amortized
over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated
residual
values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No.
144,
“Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets”.
|
|
|
|
f. Long-lived
Assets
|
|
|
|
Long-lived
assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles
subject
to amortization, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or
changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset
may not be
recoverable per SFAS 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets”. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison
of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future
cash
flows expected to be generated by an asset. If the carrying amount
of an
asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge
is
recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the
estimated fair value of the asset. The estimated fair value is
determined
using a discounted cash flow analysis. Any impairment in value
is
recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment
occurs.
|
|
|
|
g. Revenue
Recognition
|
|
|
|
The
Company recognizes revenues and the related costs for voice, data
and
other services along with product sales when persuasive evidence
of an
arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service
has
been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection
of the
resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Service revenue from
monthly
and per minute fee agreements is recognized gross, consistent with
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 99-19 “Reporting Revenues Gross as a
Principal Versus Net as an Agent”, as the Company is the primary obligor
in its transaction, has all credit risk, maintains all risk and
rewards,
and establishes pricing. Combined product and

service
agreements are allocated consistent with EITF No. 00-21 “Accounting for
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” with the multiple
deliverables divided into separate units of accounting. Revenue
is
allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their
relative
fair value. Support and maintenance sales are recognized over the
contract
term. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery
or
providing services are recorded as deferred revenue.
|
|
|
|
The
Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, bad debts, and
other
allowances based on its historical experience.
|
|
|
|
h. Stock-based
Compensation
|
|
|
|
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation”, provides for the use of a fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based compensation. However, SFAS
123
allows the measurement of compensation cost for stock options granted
to
employees using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed
by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees”, which only requires charges to compensation
expense for the excess, if any, of the fair value of the underlying
stock
at the date a stock option is granted (or at an appropriate subsequent
measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire
the
stock. The Company has elected to account for employee stock options
using
the intrinsic value method under APB 25. By making that election,
the
Company is required by SFAS 123 to provide pro forma disclosures
of net
loss as if a fair value based method of accounting had been
applied.
|
|
|
|
In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, all other issuances
of stock,
stock options or other equity instruments to employees and non-employees
as the consideration for goods or services received by the Company
are
accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument
issued
(unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more
reliably
measured). During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
the
Company recognized $1,411,524 and $305,462 and $126,426 and $120,195
of
expense relating to the grant of common stock to non-employees
and
employees, respectively, for services which are included in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The value of
these
shares was determined based upon over the counter closing
prices.
|
|
|
|
i. Income
Tax
|
|
|
|
Current
income tax expense (benefit) is the amount of income taxes expected
to be
payable (receivable) for the current year. A deferred tax asset
and/or
liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax
loss and
tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax expense is generally
the
net change during the year in the deferred income tax asset and
liability.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred
tax
assets to the amount expected to be “more likely then not” realized in
future tax returns. Tax rate changes are reflected in income in
the period
such changes are enacted.
|
|
|
|
j. Net
Loss Per Share
|
|
|
|
Basic
net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common
shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted loss per
share
has not been presented because the assumed exercise of the Company’s
outstanding options and warrants would have been antidilutive.

j. Net
Loss Per Share (continued)
|
|
|
|
Options
and/or warrants will have a dilutive effect only when the average
market
price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise
price of
the options and/or warrants. There were options to purchase 7,250,000
shares of common stock and 34,033,290 warrants potentially issuable
at
June 30, 2006 which were not included in the computation of net
loss per
share.

|
|
k. Concentrations
of Risk
|
|
|
|
The
Company entered into an agreement during September 1998 to acquire
50
acres of real property known as the Hills of Bajamar, located in
Ensenada,
Mexico (the “Land”) with the intent, at the time, to sell lots for
residential development and build a communications facility for
residents
in the surrounding area. As of the date of these financial statements,
the
Company had not received documented title to the Land. Since consideration
for the agreement (documented title) has never been received the
Company
does not believe it is the owner of the Land. If the Company was
determined to be the owner of the Land the Company could be subject
to the
following risks. The property is located in Mexico which has a
developing
economy. Hyperinflation, volatile exchange rates and rapid political
and
legal change, often accompanied by military insurrection, have
been common
in this and certain other emerging markets in which the Company
may
conduct operations. The Company may be materially adversely affected
by
possible political or economic instability in Mexico. The risks
include,
but are not limited to terrorism, military repression, expropriation,
changing fiscal regimes, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange
rates,
high rates of inflation and the absence of industrial and economic
infrastructure. Changes in land development or investment policies
or
shifts in the prevailing political climate in Mexico in which the
Company
plans to sell lots for residential development and build a communications
facility could adversely affect the Company’s business. Operations may be
affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect
to
development restrictions, price controls, export controls, income
and
other taxes, expropriation of property, maintenance of claims,
environmental legislation, labor, welfare, benefit policies, land
use,
land claims of local residents, water use and mine safety. The
effect of
these factors cannot be accurately predicted.

l. Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
|
|
|
|
In
May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 154, "Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections: a Replacement of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS No. 154").
SFAS No.
154 requires retrospective application for voluntary changes in
accounting
principle unless it is impracticable to do so or another methodology
is
required by the standard. Retrospective application refers to the
application of a different accounting principle to previously issued
financial statements as if that principle had always been used.
SFAS No.
154's retrospective application requirement replaces APB No. 20's
("Accounting Changes") requirement to recognize most voluntary
changes in
accounting principle by including in net income (loss) of the period
of
the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting
principle. This statement defines retrospective application as
the
application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting
periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment
of
previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the
reporting entity. SFAS No. 154 also redefines restatement as the
revising
of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction
of an
error. The requirements are effective for accounting changes made
in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and will only impact
the
consolidated financial statements in periods in which a change
in
accounting principle is made. The implementation of SFAS
No. 154 did not have a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash
flows.

In
July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”),
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation
of FASB
Statement No. 109”. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in the
consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position
that is
more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on
the
technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN No. 48 will
be effective for the Company beginning in the March 2007 quarter,
with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle
recorded
as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48.

GOING
CONCERN
|
|
|
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using 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. The Company has incurred a loss
from
inception on September 14, 2000 through June 30, 2006, resulting
in an
accumulated deficit of $15,513,394 at June 30, 2006, that raises
doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
asset
carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities
that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
|
|
|
|
|
It
is the intent of management to continue to develop its voice and
data
services to Web-based customers and expand its Voice-over-Internet
Protocol networks for businesses, institutions, and Internet Service
Providers (ISP).

management will seek additional financing through new stock issuances

Financial Structure, Limited Equity, Limited Working Capital & Need
for Additional Financing.
|
While
the Company’s management believes that its financial policies have been
prudent, the Company has relied, in large part, upon the use of
common
stock financing to provide a substantial portion of the Company’s
financial needs. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise
significant additional capital to implement is business plan.
|
This
dependence upon common equity financing has meant that we are reliant
upon
the price of our common stock in the public markets, which has
dramatically declined over the past two years and there can be
no
assurance that the price of our common stock will recover. In addition,
we
have had only limited discussions with potential investors and
there can
be no guarantee that the Company will receive additional capital
from any
investors or, if it does receive sufficient additional capital,
that it
can obtain additional capital on terms that are reasonable in light
of the
Company’s current circumstances. We have limited equity and limited
working capital. Further, the Company has not received any commitments
or
assurances from any underwriter, investment banker, venture capital
fund,
or other individual or institutional investor.
|

3.
Auditor's
Opinion: Going Concern.
|
The
Company’s independent auditors, Chang G. Park, CPA, Ph.D., have expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going
concern since the Company is an early-stage company and there exists
only
a limited history of operations and has continued operating
losses.
|
|
4.
Subordinate
to Existing and Future Debt & Authorized But Unissued Preferred
Stock.
|
All
of the Common Stock is subordinate to the claims of the Company's
existing
and future creditors and the holders of the Company's existing
preferred
stock and any that may be issued in the future.
|
|
5.
Outstanding
Convertible Non-Dilutive Debt to Current and Former
Management.
|
In
August of 2005, we entered into agreements with certain of our
current and
former officers and directors. Under the terms of these agreements,
these
individuals returned an aggregate of 16,500,000 shares of our common
stock
previously awarded as bonuses in connection with their prior employment
with the Company and in exchange, we issued an aggregate of 16,500,000
common stock purchase warrants and an aggregate of $838,969.26
in
unsecured promissory notes. Each of the notes are convertible,
at the
option of each noteholder, into shares of the Company’s common stock
(using the 52-week low trading range of the Company’s public common stock
price) and the number of shares so issued in payment of all accrued
and
unpaid interest and principal cannot be reduced as a result of
any reverse
split of the Company’s common stock or any recapitalization. Further, the
number of shares issuable to each noteholder are described in each
note as
non-dilutive;
that is the number of shares that may be purchased upon conversion
any
note will increase in direct proportion to any increase in the
number of
shares issued by the Company after the issuance of the notes. The
warrants
grant the holder the right to purchase our common stock at an exercise
price of $0.25 per share and the warrants do not expire until August
26,
2009. While the Company believed at the time the issuance of the
notes and
warrants served to support the Company’s plans, the terms of the notes and
the warrants may limit the ability to raise additional capital.
Further,
while the transactions involve the return of shares previously
issued in
connection with the Company’s payment of employment bonuses, the Company
did not undertake any evaluation of whether the transactions do
not expose
the Company to potential claims under the California Labor Code
and other
state employment rules and regulations.
|
|
6.
Conflicts
of Interest.
|
As
a small company, we are dependent, from time to time, upon one
or more our
officers and directors to assist us in meeting our financial obligations.
In some cases, we may enter into an agreement with an officer or
director
who assists us in completing one or more transactions or in providing
us
with financing or other services. These transactions involve a
conflict of
interest. A conflict of interest arises whenever a party has an
interest
on both sides of a transaction. While we believe that we have and
will
continue to enter into such agreements with officers and directors
on
terms that are no different than that which we can obtain from
independent
third parties, there can be no assurance that we will always be
successful
in these efforts or that we can successfully resolve conflicts
of interest
to fully satisfy our obligations to our Company and our
stockholders.
|
|
7.
Dependence
& Reliance Upon Others.
|
Some
of our products and services may rely upon hardware, software,
and
communications systems provided by others. For this reason we may
become
dependent upon third parties which may materially and adversely
affect our
ability to offer distinct products and services which may result
in
adverse pricing pressures on our products with resulting adverse
impact on
our profits, if any.
|
|
8.
Recent
Acquisitions & Limited History of
Operations.
|
During
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, we generated $3,482,549 in
net revenues, primarily through our acquisition of Coliance and
Mid-Atlantic in 2003 and our acquisition of Adoria in 2004. We
will need
to further increase our revenues and successfully develop and implement
our business strategy in an ever-changing and challenging marketplace
if
we are to succeed. In the event that we are not able to successfully
develop and implement our business strategy, we may be subject
to
continuing significant risks and resulting financial volatility.
Our
limited history and the continuing technological and competitive
challenges that we face are beyond our ability
|
to
control. For these and other reasons we may incur continuing and
protracted losses with the result that an investor may lose all
or
substantially all of their investment.
|
|
9.
Matter
of 911 and Emergency Calling Services and Exposure to
Liability.
|
Both
our emergency calling service and our E911 calling service are
different,
in significant respects, from the emergency calling services offered
by
traditional wireline telephone companies. In each case, those differences
may cause significant delays, or even failures, in callers’ receipt of the
emergency assistance they need. Traditional wireline telephone
companies
route emergency calls over a dedicated infrastructure directly
to an
emergency services dispatcher at the public safety answering point,
or
PSAP, in the caller’s area. Generally, the dispatcher automatically
receives the caller’s phone number and actual location information. While
our system being deployed is designed to route calls in a similar
fashion
to traditional wireline services, our 911 services are not yet
available
in all locations. Further to the extent that it is not available
in a
specific location or to the extent that a caller experiences delays
in
obtaining and accessing emergency calling services, we may face
significant liability.
|
|
10.
Matter
of National Security Agency and Potential
Liability.
|
As
a provider of telephone services, our company may be asked to provide
information regarding our customer telephone records to the National
Security Agency (NSA) and governmental agencies in connection with
efforts
taken by these agencies to fight the war against terror. In the
event that
we assist the NSA and other agencies in providing such information,
we may
be exposed to potential liability in violating the privacy rights
of our
customers. We may also face the loss of revenues and customer good
will.
|
|
11.
Decreasing
Pricing Trends.
|
Domestic
and international telecommunications prices continue to decrease
and we
anticipate that this trend will continue. Further, users who select
our
services may switch to the services offered by our competitors
to take
advantage of lower priced services offered by them. Such continued
competition or continued price decreases may require us to lower
our
prices to remain competitive. This will serve to reduce our revenue
and
lead to loss of customers or a decrease in our growth and may delay
or
prevent us from achieving profitability.
|
|
12.
Consumer
Acceptance of VoIP Technology and Competitive
Issues.
|
The
market for VoIP services continues to grow and develop. While we
believe
that a significant portion of this growth is due to customers who
are
“early adopters,” as this market segment utilizes VoIP services in larger
numbers, if we are to achieve any growth in revenues, we will likely
incur
higher marketing expenses in attracting customers from other segments.
For
these reasons, we may experience lower growth and higher expenses
than our
larger competitors. Further, our larger competitors have entered
into
co-marketing agreements with other technology and internet companies
and,
in other cases, they are offering VoIP services bundled with other
internet services that we do not offer and have no ability to offer.
These
and other competitive conditions will serve to severely limit our
ability
to compete effectively.
|
|
13.
Flaws
in Technology and Systems.
|
While
we believe that our VoIP serve network offers a high level of system
integrity, flaws in our technology and systems may arise which
may create
disruptions and other outages. Software and hardware malfunctions
or
problems with our network may arise. In addition, “hacker attacks” can
occur from the Internet. As a result, if the reliability of our
services
is adversely perceived by our customers, we may have difficulty
ion
attracting and retaining customers and our reputation may
suffer.
|
|
14.
Cost
of Customer Acquisition.
|
We
have initiated a new business initiative in which we market directly
to
retail customers via an in-house direct-marketing effort. Our sales
and
marketing expenses are expected to increase substantially as a
result of
this effort, yet little data exists on the average cost to acquire
customers in this way. If our acquisition rate or customer churn
rate
exceeds what we expect, our financial results will be negatively
impacted
and we will experience delays in or an inability to achieve
profitability.
|
|
15.
Unexpected
Calling Patterns Associated with Flat Rate Calling
Plans.
|
We
have developed and begun to market Flat Rate Calling Plans in which,
for a
fixed monthly fee, customers have limited or unlimited rights to
make
telephone calls within designated geographical territories. The
profitability of these Plans depends primarily on ‘in-territory’ calling
traffic (i.e., traffic within
the designated geographical territory for which customers incur
no
per-call charges) and on ‘out-of-territory’ calling traffic (international
calls for which customers incur
extra charges,
and which are anticipated to generate significant profits). We
incur
termination costs for all ‘in-territory’ calls but, for Flat Rate Calling
Plans, only generate revenue from fixed the monthly fees. If average
‘in-territory’ calling traffic exceeds what we anticipate our financial
results will be negatively impacted.
|
If
average ‘out-of-territory’ calling traffic falls short of what we
anticipate our financial results will be negatively impacted. Either
result would lead to delays in or an inability to achieve
profitability.
|
|
16.
Cost
Efficiencies Associated with Growth.
|
We
anticipate our average termination costs will improve as traffic
increases. If termination cost efficiencies fall short of what
we project
our financial results will be negatively impacted and we will experience
delays in or an inability to achieve profitability.
|
|
17.
Losses
Due to Customers Fraud.
|
Customers
have obtained access to the Company’s service without prepaying for the
service (minutes) by submitting fraudulent credit card information.
Losses
from unauthorized credit card transactions and theft of service
totaled
$42,579 during the twelve months ending December 31, 2005. We have
implemented new anti-fraud procedures in order to control losses
relating
to unauthorized credit card use, but these procedures may not be
adequate
to effectively limit our exposure in the future from customer fraud.
If
our procedures are not effective, consumer fraud and theft of service
could be significant and have a material adverse effect on our
business
and operating results.
|
|
18.
Price
Competition on Certain Services.
|
The
products and services that we intend to offer may, through changing
technology and cost structures, become commodities which result
in intense
price competition. While we believe that we will be able to distinguish
our products and services from competing products, services, and
technologies offered by others, if we fail to distinguish ourselves
from
others, this could hinder market acceptance of our services, force
reductions in contemplated sales prices for our products and services,
and
reduce our overall sales and gross margins. Potential customers
may view
price as the primary distinguishing characteristic between our
products
and services and those of our competitors. This could result in
the
Company incurring significant and protracted losses. Further, we
are
selling into a market that has a broad range of desired product
characteristics and features which may make it difficult for us
to develop
products that will address a broad enough market to be commercially
viable.
|
|
19.
Absence
of Barriers to Entry & Lack of Patent
Protection.
|
Our
planned products and services are not unique and others could easily
copy
our strategy and provide the same or similar services since there
are no
significant barriers to entering the business of providing internet
telephone services or VoIP networks and no significant barriers
to entry
are expected in the future. In addition, we do not hold and do
not expect
to hold any patent protection on any of our planned products or
services.
Our products and services primarily utilize the intellectual property
rights of others. For these reasons we may face continuing financial
losses.
|
|
20.
Limited
Customer Base.
|
While
we seek to implement our plans, we have a limited customer base
of
approximately 20,000 accounts using our suite of VoIP products
and there
can be no assurance that we will grow and develop a sufficient
customer
base that generates sufficient sustainable revenues that provide
stable
profit margins. The absence of growth at pricing levels that can
provide
for sustainable revenues and profit margins may greatly inhibit
our
ability to attract additional capital and otherwise lead to volatile
results from operations with consequent adverse and material impact
on our
financial condition.
|
|
21.
Customers,
Technology/Feature Options & Commercial
Viability.
|
If
we are able to implement our business plan, we will be selling
our
products and services into a marketplace that is experiencing a
convergence of competing technologies. Typically, telecommunications
providers desire extremely robust products with the expectation
of a
relatively long effective life. As a result and depending on the
outcome
of unknown trends in technology, market forces, and other variables,
we
may not attract a broad enough market to achieve commercial
viability.
|
|
22.
New
Technologies May Be Developed.
|
New
products or new technologies may be developed that supplant or
provide
lower-cost or better-performing alternatives to our planned products
and
services. This could negatively impact our financial results and
delay or
prevent us from achieving profitability.
|
|
23.
Absence
of Brand Name Recognition: Limited Ability to
Promote.
|
The
market for telecommunications services is intensely competitive;
brand
name recognition is critical to success. Many companies offer products
and
services like ours and many have a well established presence in
major
metropolitan centers. We may not be able to compete successfully
with
these companies and others that may enter
|
the
market. Some of them also have substantially greater financial,
distribution, and marketing resources than we do. If we do not
succeed in
this competitive marketplace, we will lose customers and our revenue
will
be substantially reduced and our business, financial condition,
and
results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected.
|
|
24.
Domestic
and Foreign Government
Regulation.
|
We
incur significant additional costs to remain a public company and
to file
current and prior period past due original and amended periodic
reports
(with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) to meet our
obligations
as a public company. Since September 22, 2004 (the date at which
we were
informed that our common stock was registered under Section 12(g)
of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934), we have had to expend and divert
significant managerial and financial resources to address prior
year
filing delinquencies and to meet our current year filing obligations
under
Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. While we
have made
significant progress in filing many periodic reports with the SEC,
we have
yet to complete work on: (A) amending certain previously filed
reports to
respond to comments from the staff at the SEC; and (B) completing
certain
other reports that need to be filed for certain prior periods,
including,
for example, the filing of Form 10-QSB for the second quarter of
2006
through June 30, 2006. Our goal is to complete the filing of all
of our
past periodic reports, respond to SEC comments on all of prior
and current
periodic filings, and to file all of our current periodic reports
in a
timely manner. However, until we accomplish these and related objectives,
we cannot assure you that we have satisfy our obligations as a
public
company.
|
|
Our
planned operations will likely be subject to extensive
telecommunications-based regulation by the United States and foreign
laws
and international treaties. In the United States we are subject
to various
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") rules and regulations.
Current
FCC regulations suggest that our VoIP will not be unduly burdened
by new
and expanded regulations. However, there can be no assurance that
the
occurrence of regulatory changes would not significantly affect
our
operations by restricting our planned operations or increasing
the
opportunity of our competitors. In the event that government regulations
change, there can be no assurance that the costs and burdens imposed
on us
will not materially and adversely impact our planned
business.
|
|
25.
Loss
of Equipment.
|
Equipment
located in a foreign country with a developing or emerging economy
may be
materially adversely affected by possible political or economic
instability. The risks include, but are not limited to rapid political
and
legal change, terrorism, military repression, or expropriation
of assets.
In the event that equipment is damaged or lost our ability to service
to
our customers will be substantially reduced and our business, financial
condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected.
|
|
26.
Control.
|
Our
current officers and directors directly and indirectly hold an
aggregate
of 35,111,902 shares of the Company’s common stock (before including any
shares issuable upon exercise of any options or warrants). This
represents
approximately 14.5% of the Company’s total outstanding shares as of June
30, 2006 and thereby allows the Company’s officers and directors to retain
significant influence over the Company. Further and due to our
limited
financial resources, in the past we have issued our common stock
and
granted common stock purchase options to our officers and directors
in
lieu of paying cash compensation and we anticipate that we may
need to
continue this practice in the future. This may further limit the
ability
of stockholders
|
|
27.
Prior
Filing of Form 10-SB.
|
In
June of 2001 we prepared and filed a registration statement on
Form 10-SB
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). Subsequently, our then legal counsel delivered
a
letter (dated November 15, 2001) to the SEC which, by its terms,
stated
that the SEC had agreed to allow us to withdraw the registration
statement. At the time the Company’s management believed, in reliance upon
assurances from the Company’s then legal counsel, that the Company had
been allowed to withdraw the registration statement, notwithstanding
that
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") provides
that any
withdrawal of a Form 10-SB registration statement (at any time
after 60
days from the date at which it is originally filed) requires that
the
registrant: (a) file Form 15 with the SEC; (b) meet certain requirements
that allow the registrant to file Form 15 to terminate the registration
of
the securities that were previously registered on Form 10-SB; and
(c) file
such other periodic reports as required to ensure compliance with
Section
13(a) of the Exchange Act up to the date at which the Form 15 is
filed.
Subsequently, in September 2004, the Company received a letter
from the
SEC (the "SEC Letter") informing the Company that the Company had
not
satisfied its obligations to file periodic reports required under
Section
13(a) of the Exchange Act. While we believed that we had reasonably
relied
upon the assurances from our legal counsel (that we had effectively
withdrawn the Form 10-SB registration statement), we are determined
to
complete all past and current periodic filings and to comply with
the SEC
Letter as expeditiously as possible. However, we have not received
any
assurances from the SEC that we will not be subject to any adverse
enforcement action by the SEC.
|
While
we did not seek to avoid our obligations under the Exchange Act
in any
way, our prior actions in mistakenly believing that we had no obligation
to file periodic reports required by the Exchange Act exposes us
to risk
of liability for significant civil fines and the SEC could, among
other
enforcement actions, suspend trading in our Common Stock. Further,
we
offered and sold securities in reliance upon exemptions that were
predicated on our mistaken belief that the registration statement
had been
withdrawn. For these and other reasons we may be exposed to liability.
We
intend to continue a dialogue with the staff of the SEC and, as
information is collected and documents are prepared, to complete
all
filings needed to demonstrate that we are fulfilling our obligations
under
the Exchange Act with due care and in full observance of our obligations
as a "reporting company" thereunder.
|
|
28.
As
a public company, we incur increased costs that may place a strain
on our
resources or divert our management’s attention from other business
concerns.
|
As
a public company, we incur additional legal, accounting and other
expenses
that we did not incur as a private company.
The Exchange Act requires us to file annual, quarterly and current
reports
with respect to our business and financial condition, which requires
us to
incur legal, accounting, and other expenses. In addition, we are
required
to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal
controls for financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve
the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting, significant resources and management
oversight are required. The corporate governance rules and regulations
of
the SEC increase our legal and financial compliance costs and makes
some
activities more time consuming and costly. These requirements may
place a
strain on our systems and resources and may divert our management’s
attention from other business concerns, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of
operations.
|
|
29.
Dependence
Upon Key Personnel and New Employees.
|
We
believe that our success will depend, to a significant extent,
on the
efforts and abilities of Farid Shouekani, Paul E. Atkiss, and James
R.
Balestraci. The loss of the services of any of them could have
a material
and continuing adverse effect on the Company. Our success also
depends
upon our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. Hiring
to meet
our anticipated operations will require that we assimilate significant
numbers of new employees during a relatively short period of
time.
|
|
30.
Absence
of Key Man Insurance.
|
We
currently do not maintain any key man life insurance on the life
of any of
our officers or directors and there are no present plans to obtain
any
such insurance. In the event that any one or more of them are unable
to
perform their duties, the Company's business may be adversely impacted
and
our results of operations and financial condition would be materially
and
adversely impacted for a protracted period.
|
|
31.
Lack
of Independent Evaluation of Business Plan & Proposed
Strategy.
|
We
have not obtained any independent or professional evaluation of
our
business plan and our business strategy and we have no present
plans to
obtain any such evaluation. There can be no assurance that we will
successfully increase revenues, or if revenues we do, that we can
do so at
levels that will allow us to achieve or maintain profitability.
If we are
unsuccessful, our results of operations and financial condition
would be
materially and adversely impacted and investors would likely lose
all or a
significant portion of their investment.
|
|
32.
No
Planned Dividends.
|
We
do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on our Common
Stock. Any
profits that we may generate, if any, will be
reinvested.
|
|
33.
Potential
Immediate and Substantial Dilution.
|
Funding
of our planned business is likely to result in substantial and
on-going
dilution of our existing stockholders. While there can be no guarantee
that we will be successful in raising additional capital, if we
are
successful in obtaining any additional capital, existing stockholders
will
likely incur immediate and substantial dilution.
|
|
34.
Matter
of Public Market and Rule 144 Stock Sales.
|
As
of June 30, 2006, there were 143,862,571 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock that were “restricted securities” and which may be sold pursuant to
Rule 144. Since September 16, 2002, we have had a limited public
trading
market for our Common Stock in the “Pink Sheets” market. Since that date
trading volumes have been volatile with sporadic liquidity levels.
Further, our Common Stock is (as of the date of the filing of this
Report)
a “Penny Stock” and for this reason we face continuing difficulties in our
efforts to gain a liquid trading market and there can be no assurance
that
any liquid trading market will ever develop or, if it does develop,
that
it can be maintained. In the event that we are able to complete
the filing
of all periodic reports (the “Periodic Reports”) required by Section 13(a)
of the Exchange Act, we may be able to avoid any significant adverse
enforcement action
|
by
the SEC arising out of our lack of compliance with the Exchange
Act. Rule
144 provides that a person holding restricted securities for a
period of
one year may thereafter sell in brokerage transactions, an amount
not
exceeding in any three month period 1% of our outstanding Common
Stock.
Further, unless the Company can complete all of the required Periodic
Reports and remain current in the filing of all future Periodic
Reports,
persons holding restricted stock will not be able to avail themselves
of
the safe harbor provisions of Rule 144. Persons who are not affiliated
with the Company and who have held their restricted securities
for at
least two years are not subject to the volume limitation. In any
trading
market for our Common Stock, possible or actual sales of our Common
Stock
by present shareholders under Rule 144 may have a depressive effect
on the
price of our Common Stock even if a liquid trading market
develops.
|
|
35.
General
Risks of Low Priced Stocks.
|
In
any trading market for our Common Stock, we anticipate that our
Common
Stock will be deemed a "Penny Stock" which will limit trading and
liquidity and thereby the retail market for the Common Stock. The
limitations are primarily due to the burdens that are imposed on
brokers
whose customers may wish to acquire our Common Stock.
