of the Nevada General Corporation Law, designated an additional 2,000,000 Shares
of the 10,100,000 shares of our authorized preferred stock (par value $0.001)
as
Series A Preferred Stock. In designating the additional 2,000,000 shares of
our
preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, the Board affirmed that the Series
A Preferred Stock shall have the following rights and privileges as originally
designated on August 7, 2006:
(1)
Dividends.
The Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cash dividends from
funds legally available therefore as and when declared by the Board of Directors
at such time or times when dividends are declared on the Company’s common
stock.
(2)
Liquidation
Rights.
In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation which is in
the
nature of the winding up of the Corporation's business or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets (a "Liquidation"), each holder of
record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in
Common Stock, in respect of each such share the amount of ten (10) shares of
the
Company’s common stock (par value $0.001) up to the date of such Liquidation
(whether or not, to the extent permitted by law, the Company shall have surplus
or earnings available for dividends), and no more.
(3)
Conversion.
Each of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically
converted into ten (10) shares of the Company’s common stock within thirty (30)
days after the first date at which: (1) the Company shall have sufficient
authorized but unissued shares of its common stock available for the conversion

of the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Preferences or otherwise. At any
meeting at which the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to
vote as a class pursuant to this provision, the holders of a majority of all
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, present in person (including

ITEM
7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
(A) Matter
of Dividend Policy
In
recent months the Company has continued to monitor its financial resources
to
meet its financial obligations to creditors and others who have provided capital
and services to the Company. In past years the Company had plans to distribute
shares of NextPhase Wireless, Inc. (“NextPhase”) to its stockholders as a
dividend. The Company has now determined that it would be imprudent for the
Company to make a distribution of any of the shares of NextPhase as a dividend
to the Company’s stockholders.
The
NextPhase common stock owned by the Company is and will likely remain an
important source of liquidity for the Company in that it provides the Company
with an opportunity to obtain cash to meet the Company’s financial
obligations.
While
the Company’s Board of Directors believes that this change in plans may have a
short-term negative impact on the Company’s common stock market price, the
strategy of utilizing the NextPhase common stock to meet the Company’s financial
obligations will better serve the long-term needs of the Company and the
Company’s stockholders.
The
Company continues to explore potential opportunities to raise additional capital
to meet its financial obligations and to implement its business plan. While
the
Company’s officers and directors believe that the strategy of retaining the
NextPhase common stock is appropriate, the value of the NextPhase common stock
in the open market has fluctuated significantly and the Company anticipates
that
retaining the NextPhase common stock may serve to assist the Company in raising
additional capital.
(B) Termination
of VoEx, Inc. Wholesale Relationship
During
August 2006, the Company was selected by VoEx, Inc. as a preferred carrier
for
their international wholesale traffic. Previously, the two companies had
exchanged non-material
transactions.
Based on a joint business plan the Company expected incremental quarterly
revenues of $450,000.
Following
insignificant revenues during the fourth quarter of 2006, due to international
carrier interconnect timing issues beyond the Company’s ability to mitigate, the
preferred carrier relationship with VoEx was terminated. The Company anticipates
exchanging only non-material transactions with VoEx in the future. The Company
believes that notwithstanding the termination of this relationship, the Company
can better focus its resources on efforts needed in its core
businesses.
(C)
Financing
of Wholesale Operations provided by Eastern Point Communications,
LLC
As
previously reported, we acquired the VoIP wholesale business Adoria
Communications, LLC (“Adoria”) in January 2004 in a transaction with James
Balestraci. The acquisition of Adoria was consummated in exchange for the
Company’s payment of $500,000 cash and 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock and Mr. Balestraci became an officer of the Company.
Following
the acquisition of Adoria, the company was renamed Viper International, LLC
(“Viper LLC”). Initially Mr. Balestraci served as an officer of the Company but
later resigned in January 2005 but retained the responsibility as head of
wholesale operations. On March 1, 2006, Mr. Balestraci resigned his position
as
head of wholesale operations and his company, Eastern Point Communications,
LLC
(“Eastern Point”) entered into a consulting agreement with the
Company.
Under
the terms of the consulting agreement the Company retains the continued services
of Mr. Balestraci to manage and direct our wholesale operation. Beginning in
November 2006, Eastern Point commenced funding the cash flow for certain of
the
Company’s customers (those with extended billing and/or extended payment terms)
under a factoring type of arrangement. Weekly Eastern Point remits to the
Company ninety-eight percent (98%) of the Company’s earned revenue for these
customers with the Company guaranteeing Eastern Point’s collection from the
customer.
The
initial impact of the improved cash flow allowed Viper LLC to increase its
weekly average revenue by 80% for an incremental quarterly increase of
$416,000.
(D) Resignation
of Nabil Youkhana
Nabil
Youkhana has resigned as Senior Vice President following the lower than expected
performance of the Company’s direct sales of monthly calling plans. While the
Company continues to offer monthly calling plans, the Company has reduced its
sales personnel and resources devoted to these efforts.
(E) Issuance
of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock
The
issuance of the 1,134,761 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock was undertaken
to meet our commitments to Mr. Shouekani, Mr. Castiglione, and Mr. Sunstein.
Each of the 1,134,761 shares has 140 votes per share and each Series A Preferred
Share is convertible into 10 shares of our Common Stock.
The
issuance of the 324,708 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock was undertaken
to
meet our commitment under the October 25, 2006 VoIP Equipment Purchase and
Services Agreement between the Company and Onasi, Inc. a Utah corporation dba
OnSat. Each of the 324,708 shares has 200 votes per share and each Series B
Preferred Share is convertible into 200 shares of our Common Stock.
Currently,
we do not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock
that would allow the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock
to
convert into our Common Stock.
For
the Series A Preferred Stock to convert into the Company’s Common Stock, the
Company will be required to obtain approval from the Company’s shareholders
(including the holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock) for one of the following: (1) an increase in the authorized
amount of the Company’s Common Stock; (2) a reverse stock split that would
reduce the number of shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock; or (3) a
combination of an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s
Common Stock and a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock so that, as
effectuated, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock can convert into the Company’s Common Stock.
In
the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, if it were to convert into the
Company’s Common Stock, the Company will be required to obtain approval from the
Company’s shareholders (including the holders of the Company’s Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock) for one of the following: (1)
an
increase in the authorized amount of the Company’s Common Stock; (2) a reverse
stock split that would reduce the number of shares of the Company’s outstanding
Common Stock; or (3) a combination of an increase in the number of authorized
shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a reverse split of the Company’s Common
Stock so that, as effectuated, all of the issued and outstanding shares of
the
Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock can convert into the
Company’s Common Stock.
ITEM
8.01 OTHER EVENTS
As
described above, we have determined that it would be imprudent for the Company
to make a distribution of any of the shares of NextPhase Wireless, Inc.
(“NextPhase”) as a dividend to the Company’s stockholders.
The
NextPhase common stock owned by the Company is and will likely remain
an
important
source of liquidity for the Company in that it provides the Company with an
opportunity to obtain cash to meet the Company’s financial
obligations.
While
we believe that this change in plans may have a short-term negative impact
on
the Company’s common stock market price, the strategy of utilizing the NextPhase
common stock to meet the Company’s financial obligations will better serve the
long-term needs of the Company and the Company’s stockholders.
The
Company continues to explore potential opportunities to raise additional capital
to meet its financial obligations and to implement its business plan. While
the
Company’s officers and directors believe that the strategy of retaining the
NextPhase common stock is appropriate, the value of the NextPhase common stock
in the open market has fluctuated significantly and the Company anticipates
that
retaining the NextPhase common stock may serve to assist the Company in raising
additional capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in raising additional capital or, if it is successful, that the
Company can raise additional capital on terms that are reasonable in light
of
the Company’s current circumstances.
(A)
Factors That May Affect Future Results
In
General.
The purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock is very speculative and
involves a very high degree of risk. Our business
organization and structure all involve elements of risk. In many instances,
these risks arise from factors over which we will have little or no control.
Some adverse events may be more likely than others and the consequence of some
adverse events may be greater than others. No attempt has been made to rank
risks in the order of their likelihood or potential harm.
1) The
market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The
market price of our common shares may fluctuate significantly in response to
factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:
|
·
|
the
announcement of new technologies by us or our
competitors;
|
|
·
|
quarterly
variations in our and our competitors’ results of
operations;
|
|
·
|
changes
in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
|
|
·
|
developments
in our
industry;
|
|
·
|
general
market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated
to our
own operating performance;
|
|
·
|
changing
regulatory exposure, laws, rules and regulations which may change;
and
|
|
·
|
tax
incentives and other changes in the tax
code.
|
Further,
the stock market in general has recently experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility
in the price of our common shares, which could cause a decline in the value
of
our common shares. You should also be aware that price volatility might be
worse
if the trading volume of our common shares is low.
2) Trading
of our common stock is limited.
Our
Common Stock is traded only on the OTC Pink Sheets and there can be no guarantee
that we will gain or achieve any listing on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board.
Trading in our stock has historically been limited and sporadic with no
continuous trading market over any long or extended period of time. This has
adversely effected the liquidity of our securities, not only in terms of the
number of securities that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also
through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts'
and the media's coverage of us. This may result in lower prices for our common
stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread
between the bid and asked prices for our common stock. There will likely be
only
limited liquidity and investors will not likely have the ability to purchase
or
sell our common stock in any significant quantities. This too will sharply
limit
interest by individual and institutional investors.
3) Limited
Financial Resources and Future Dilution
We
are a small company and we have limited financial resources. While we believe
that we have some significant growth opportunities, we cannot assure you that
we
will be successful in obtaining additional financial resources to meet our
financial needs or, we are successful in doing so, that we can obtain such
financial resources on terms that are reasonable in light of our current
financial circumstances. We anticipate that we may raise additional capital
in
the future and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising
additional capital or if we do, that current investors will not suffer immediate
and substantial dilution as a result of any successful financing
transactions.
