Viper
International LLC (“Viper International”), formed in August 2004,
represents the combination of the capabilities obtained through the
acquisitions of Mid-Atlantic (9/03) and Adoria (2/04). Viper
International’s network is powered by the Company’s Nextone softswitch and
is compatible with most VoIP networks (including Sansay, Cisco, and
Nextone). Viper International sells wholesale minutes on our
VoIP network to other telecommunications providers through our internal
sales force.
|
|
|
Viper-CA
(“Viper Consumer Products”), which we acquired in November 2000, along
with Coliance (7/03) offers an alternative to traditional telephone
companies through its suite of VoIP products. Our VoIP products allow
voice telephone calls to be placed at a substantial savings compared
to
traditional calling methods to any phone number in the world over
our
global VoIP network (no special hardware or software, other than
a standard telephone, is needed at the destination end of a
call). As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately 12,000
active accounts using our suite of VoIP
products.
|
Capitalize
on the Growth of VoIP Products and Services.
|
We
believe that if we can
implement our Strategy, we will be well positioned to take advantage
of
the expected growth of the VoIP products and services
markets. Technology research firm Jupiter Research predicted
that VoIP telephony services would grow to about 400,000 U.S. households
by the end of 2004, and to 12.1 million U.S. households by 2009
(http://www.clickz.com/stats/sectors/broadband/article.php/3418651).
|
|
Capitalize
on our technological expertise to introduce new products and
features.
|
Over
the past three years, we
have developed or acquired several core technologies that form the
backbone of our VoIP service and which we intend to use to develop
product
enhancements and future products.
|
Offer
the best possible service and support to our customers with a world
class
customer support organization.
|
We
have established relationships
with several resellers and distributors of telecommunications
products. To further accelerate growth of our vPhone and future
consumer and enterprise offerings, we intend to build upon our existing
relationships and establish new relationships with distributors,
value
added resellers and system integrators, other service providers and
retailers with strong local sales and marketing channels to make
our
products more readily available and accessible to potential customers
of
our service.
|
|
Focus
Viper Networks on Opportunities in Emerging Markets and New Service
Offerings.
|
Viper
Networks’ Mid-Atlantic
International, Inc. and Adoria Communications LLC targets international
markets undergoing telecommunications deregulation, which we believe
will
provide high margin opportunities. As our financial resources
allow, we seek to continue to enhance and expand our global VoIP
network
into new markets by internal growth, acquisition and strategic
alliances. Our plan is to develop, expand and integrate new
services into our existing managed platform.
|
Focus
Retail Sales Efforts on Selected Ethnic Population Centers and Flat-Rate
Calling Plans
|
A
new business unit formed in
November, 2006 will promote, through a direct sales effort (telemarketing)
flat-rate calling plans to ethnic groups who typically make a
disproportionately large volume of international telephone
calls. Our plan is to remain a low-price provider, but target
customers who, because of their penchant for international (i.e.,
additional charge) calls, are likely to be more profitable to the
Company.

1. Continued
Operating Losses.
|
The
Company has incurred $1,929,685 in losses during the twelve months
ending
December 31, 2005 and cumulative losses of $13,054,628 since the
Company’s inception through December 31, 2005. The Company
is an early-stage company and may well incur significant additional
losses
in the future as well and there can be no assurance that the
Company will
be successful or that it will be profitable in the
future.
|
2. Current
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, Armando C. Ibarra, CPA, P.C., 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
Debt and Stock Purchase
Warrants 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. In addition,
the existing
short term unsecured promissory notes with these officers were
amended to
include certain unpaid salaries, benefits, previous salary
deferrals, and
unpaid expenses within the existing 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. In
February
of 2006, the short term unsecured
promissory
notes were exchanged for unsecured twelve month convertible
promissory notes with variable interest equal to the greater
of the
monthly market yield on 1-year constant maturity U.S. Treasury
securities
or the noteholders cost of funds. Each of the notes, at the
option of each noteholder, are convertible, in whole or part,
into shares
of the Company’s common stock at a percentage of the preceding 52-week low
trading range of the Company’s publicly traded common stock price. While
the Company believed at the time the issuance of the warrants
and the
exchange of the notes 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 and unpaid accrued salaries, 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. 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.
|
15. 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.
|
|
16. 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.
|
|
17. 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.
|
|
18. 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.
|
|
19. 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.
|
|
20. 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.
|
|
21. 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 first
quarter
|
of
2006 through March 31, 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.
|
22. 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.
|
23. Control.
|
Our
current officers and directors directly and indirectly hold
an aggregate
of 6,193,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (before including any
shares issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants, or
the conversion
of certain convertible promissory notes issued on February
9,
2006). This represents approximately 4.1% of the Company’s
total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2005 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
|
24. 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.
|
|
25.
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 W. 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.
|
|
26.
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.
|
|
27. 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.
|
|
28. 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.
|
29.
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.
|
|
30.
Matter of Public Market and Rule 144 Stock
Sales.
|
As
of December 31, 2005, there were 93,824,016 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.
|
|
31. 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.
|
During
September 1998, the
Company entered into an agreement with Tri-National, a related
party, to
purchase 50 acres of real property known as the Hills of Bajamar,
located
in Ensenada, Mexico (the “Land) that is valued at the predecessor cost of
$125,000. The Company intended, at the time, to sell lots for residential
development and build a communications facility for residents in
the
surrounding area.
|
As
consideration for the Land,
the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its series B Preferred Stock
and
stock warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common
Stock. During June 2001, the Company negotiated a settlement
and release with the Class B preferred stockholder whereby the
Preferred
Stock and stock warrants were exchanged for 400,000 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock and the cumulative undeclared dividend was not
declared. During October 2001, Tri-National filed a voluntary
bankruptcy petition; the court appointed a Trustee in October
2002.
|
Because
consideration for the
agreement (documented title) never was received the Company did
not
believe it was ever the owner of the Land. Accordingly, the
value of the Land had previously been classified as a stock subscription
receivable.

The
options granted to each of the listed individuals were granted in
connection with certain Bonus Return Agreements entered into with
the
Company. These agreements concern the return of certain shares of
the
Company’s common stock previously issued to each of them. Under the terms
of the Bonus
Return Agreements, all of these individuals returned an aggregate
of
16,500,000 shares of our common stock previously awarded to them
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. In addition, accrued but unpaid salary and benefits,
unreimbursed business expenses, and funds advanced to the Company
were
aggregated into individual unsecured promissory notes for an aggregate
of
$838,969.26. Each of the notes are convertible, at the option of
each
noteholder, into shares of the Company’s common stock (using 50% of 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.

During
the calendar year ending December 31, 2005, Mr. Atkiss was awarded
an
option to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an
exercise price of $0.200 per share with the option expiring on January
31,
2015; and Mr. Balestraci was awarded an option to purchase 1,150,000
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.200 per
share with the option expiring on January 31,
2015

ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
|
a. Organization
|
|
|
|
The
consolidated financial statements presented are those of Viper
Networks,
Inc. and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (the “Company”).
|
|
|
|
We
are a provider of Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, communications
products and services. The company has 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 and facsimile communications over data networks and
the
internet.
|
|
|
|
Taig
Ventures, Inc. (“Taig”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Utah on February 28, 1983. Viper Networks, Inc. (“Viper-CA”)
was incorporated on September 14, 2000 under the laws of the State
of
California.
|
|
|
|
On
November 15, 2000, Taig and Viper-CA completed a Securities Purchase
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby Taig issued 36,000,000
pre-split or 3,000,000 post-split shares of its common stock in
exchange
for all of the outstanding common stock of
Viper-CA. Immediately prior to the Securities Purchase
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Taig had 6,788,507 pre-split
or
565,786 post-split shares of common stock and 3,000,000 shares
of
non-voting preferred stock issued and outstanding. For
accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a
recapitalization of Viper-CA with Viper-CA as the acquirer (reverse
acquisition). Viper-CA was treated as the acquirer for
accounting purposes because the shareholders of Viper-CA controlled
Taig
after the acquisition. The historical financial statements
prior to November 15, 2000 are those of Viper-CA.
|
|
|
|
On
December 29, 2000, Taig changed its name to Viper Networks, Inc.
(“Viper-UT”) and authorized a reverse split of the Company’s common stock
on a 1-for-12 basis. On May 18, 2005, Viper-UT changed its
state of domicile from Utah to Nevada.
|
|
|
|
b. 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.
|
|
|
|
c. Inventories
|
|
|
|
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in first-out method,
or
market. Inventory costs include international inbound freight,
duty and custom fees.
|
|
|
|
d. 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.

|
ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
|
|
|
d. Estimates
(continued)
|
|
On
an on-going basis, the Company evaluates our 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 our 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.
|
|
|
|
e. 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.
|
|
|
|
f. 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 an 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
(“SFAS”) No.142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS
142”). 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” (“SFAS
144”).
|
|
|
|
g. 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. 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.
|
|
|
|
h. 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 in accordance with Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104
“Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. 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,

h. Revenue
recognition (continued)
|
|
|
|
|
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 the relative fair value of the hardware (product)
and
minutes of calling time (service) based on published
pricing. 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 a
deferred revenue liability.
|
The
Company’s hardware products consist of both i) devices connected to and
used in conjunction with a computer for use over any speed Internet
connection (dial-up or broadband) and ii) devices used with a broadband
Internet connection not requiring a computer. Hardware products
contain embedded software or firmware provided by the third party
manufacture which is incidental to the product sale. Included
with each product sale are a Viper Networks VoIP calling account
(“VoIP
Account”) and the ability to download our proprietary dialer software/VoIP
Account interface. Our dialer software/VoIP Account interface
is not sold separately; the current version is available for customers
to
download from our web site.
|
|
The
Company sells the routing and delivery of internet traffic which
conforms
with Voice over Internet Protocol to both consumers and wholesale
carriers. Consumers purchase prepaid calling time for addition
to a VoIP Account either directly from the Company web site or
by the
purchase of a voucher from our distributor network. Revenue
from the sale of prepaid calling time to consumers or vouchers
to
distributors is deferred upon sale. These deferred revenues are
recognized into revenue based on the number of minutes during a
call in
accordance with our published calling rates. Consumer revenue
for a period is calculated by our proprietary software from information
received through our network switches. Wholesale carriers
purchase bulk minutes of VoIP traffic typically billed weekly in
arrears
from information received through our network switches. Other
services are sold on a per use basis typically billed in
arrears.
|
|
|
|
The
Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, bad debts, and
other
allowances based on its historical experience.
|
|
|
|
i. Stock-based
compensation
|
|
|
|
SFAS
No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), 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 (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”
(“APB 25”), 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. During the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the
Company recognized $351,176 and $171,863 and $323,005 and $549,557
of
gross expense relating to the grant of common stock to non-employees
and
employees, respectively, for services which are included in the

benefit
relating to the return of stock previously granted to Officers
of $360,000

j. Income
taxes
|
|
|
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 period 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.
|
|
|
|
k. 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. 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 34,951,346 warrants potentially issuable at December
31,
2002 which were not included in the computation of net loss per
share.

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 consolidated
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

In
November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory
Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. This Statement
amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to
clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material
(spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated
that “… under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense,
excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be
so
abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges…” This
Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period
charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so
abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation
of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based
on the
normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of
this Statement will be effective for the Company beginning with
its fiscal
year ending November 30, 2006. Management believes that the
adoption of this Statement will not have any immediate material
impact on
the Company.
|
|
|
|
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and
67”. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, “Accounting
for Sales of Real Estate”, to reference the financial accounting and
reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that
is
provided in AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 04-2, and Statement No.
67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate
Projects”, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and
(b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply
to real
estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those
operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP
04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application
encouraged. The Company believes that the implementation of
this standard will not have a material impact on its financial
position,
results of operations or cash flows.
|
|
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based
Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). This Statement requires that the cost
resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the
financial
statements. The Statement establishes fair value as the
measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements
and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement
in
accounting for share-based payment transactions with
employees. The Statement also establishes fair value as the
measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires
goods
or services from non-employees in share-based payment
transactions. The Statement replaces SFAS 13 “Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees”. The provisions of this
Statement will be effective for the Company beginning with its
fiscal year
ending December 31, 2006. The Company believes that the
implementation of this standard will not have a material impact
on its
financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In
March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107 which provides guidance
regarding
the interaction of SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and
regulations. The new guidance includes the SEC’s view on the
valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies
and may
simplify some of SFAS 123R‘s implementation challenges for registrants and
enhance the information investors receive.
|
|
In
March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”),
“Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”, which clarifies
that the term ‘conditional asset retirement obligation’ as used in SFAS
No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, refers to a legal
obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the
timing
and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that
may or
may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 requires an
entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional
asset
retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably
estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of the
fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does
not believe that FIN 47 will have a material impact on its financial
position or results from operations.
|
|
In
May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and
Error
Corrections: a Replacement of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 20
and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 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 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 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 Company does not
expect that the adoption of SFAS 154 in the first quarter of fiscal
2006
will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial
condition.
|
|
|
|
|
In
November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FSP 115-1, “The
Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application
to Certain
Investments” (“FSP 115-1”), which provides guidance on determining when
investments in certain debt and equity securities are considered
impaired,
whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and on measuring
such
impairment loss. FSP 115-1 also includes accounting considerations
subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment.
The
Company expects to adopt FSP 115-1 effective for the quarter beginning
January 1, 2006, and the adoption is not expected to have a material
impact on our results of operations or financial
condition.

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 December 31, 2005,
which has
resulted in an accumulated deficit of $13,054,628 at December 31,
2005
which 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.

ACQUISTIONS
|
|
|
|
During
January 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest
in
Adoria Communications, LLC (“Adoria”) from Mr. James Balestraci, the sole
member. Adoria owns and operates a global VoIP network with
operations in Boston, Mass. As consideration for the purchase,
the Company issued an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s
Common Stock, with 500,000 of these shares (the “Performance Shares”)
subject to the condition that Adoria’s financial results in 2004 must
equal or exceed its financial results in 2003, and $500,000 payable
in
cash for an aggregate purchase price of $3,574,500. The
Performance Shares were contingent on Adoria’s 2004 financial results
being equal to or exceeding its 2003 results; the Performance Shares
were
earned. Mr. Balestraci joined the Company as Chief of
International Wholesale Operations and a Director. Management
intends to consolidate the wholesale VoIP operations of Mid-Atlantic
and
Adoria and expand the Company’s global network into India and Europe
through this investment. Goodwill of $3,482,238 was recognized
upon the acquisition as the excess of the aggregate purchase price
over
the fair value of Adoria’s identifiable net assets. There were
no purchased research and development assets. Based on a
discounted cash flow model the goodwill balance was considered
to be
significantly impaired. A non-cash impairment loss of
$3,396,138 was charged to income during 2004 as an Impairment of
Purchased
Intangibles.
|
The
Adoria acquisition was were accounted for using the purchase method
and,
accordingly, results of operations of the acquired company are
included in
the Company’s operating results as of the date of
purchase.

|
|
During
May 2004, the Company acquired an aggregate 50% of the membership
interests of Brasil Communications, LLC (“Brasil LLC”) in two concurrent
transactions with Software Innovations, Inc. (“SII”) and Brasil
LLC. Brasil LLC owns and operates a VoIP network with licenses
and operations in Brazil and El Salvador. As consideration for
the purchase, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock to SII and $300,000 payable in cash to Brasil LLC for an
aggregate
purchase price of $1,320,000, recorded on the consolidated balance
sheet
as an in investment in unconsolidated businesses. Management
intended to expand the Company’s global VoIP network and hardware sales
into Latin America through this investment.
|
|
|
|
Subsequently,
the Company evaluated the fair market value of the assets and liabilities
held by Brasil LLC, as shown below, and determined its investment
to be

Since
the Company determined this to be other than a temporary impairment,
a
charge against earnings was taken in the amount of $1,092,100 for
Impairment of Purchased Assets. Following this charge, the book
value of Brasil LLC investment was $227,900. For the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company recorded $46,329 and
$181,067
as its 50% equity share in Brasil LLC operating loss subsequent
to the
Company’s investment, respectively.
|
|
|
|
In
June, 2005 SII (the other 50% member of Brasil LLC), Brasil LLC,
and the
Company reached a settlement agreement and release to terminate
the
Company’s 50% ownership in Brasil LLC arising from a disagreement between
SII and the Company over responsibility for operating cash calls,
the
management of, and the operation of Brasil LLC. The Company
assigned its 50% interest in Brasil LLC to SII, and SII returning
to the
Company 1,375,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock previously issued
to them as part of the original purchase price paid for the Brasil
LLC
acquisition (inclusive of the Company’s subsequent 10% stock
dividend). The aggregate value of the Company’s Common Stock
returned ($637,500) was allocated as follows: 1) $7,566 to open
accounts
receivable; 2) $14,718 to zero out the remaining book investment
in
unconsolidated businesses; and, 3) $615,216 as a gain on the disposal
of
the purchased assets. At December 31, 2005 the Company had no
equity investment in Brasil
LLC.

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 is evaluated in accordance with SFAS 142
for impairment annually and if events or changes in circumstances
indicate
that the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss is
the amount that 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. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill is as

During
September 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Tri-National,
a
related party, to purchase 50 acres of real property known as the
Hills of
Bajamar, located in Ensenada, Mexico (the “Land) that is valued at the
predecessor cost of $125,000. The Company intended, at the time,
to sell
lots for residential development and build a communications facility
for
residents in the surrounding area.
|
|
|
|
As
consideration for the Land, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares
of its
series B Preferred Stock and stock warrants to purchase 1,000,000
shares
of Common Stock. During June 2001, the Company negotiated a
settlement and release with the Class B preferred stockholder whereby
the
Preferred Stock and stock warrants were exchanged for 400,000 shares
of
the Company’s Common Stock and the cumulative undeclared dividend was not
declared. During October 2001, Tri-National filed a voluntary
bankruptcy petition; the court appointed a Trustee in October
2002.
|
|
|
|
Because
consideration for the agreement (documented title) never was received
the
Company did not believe it was ever the owner of the
Land. Accordingly, the value of the Land had previously been
classified as a stock subscription
receivable. .
|
|
|
|
During
January 2006, the Company and the court appointed Trustee entered
into a
settlement agreement whereby the 400,000 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock was released to the Trustee as an asset of the bankruptcy
estate and
the Company relinquished any claim in the Land. Accordingly,
the $125,000 previously held as a stock subscription receivable
was
charged against earnings as a bad debt.

During
August 2005, as part of management’s Mutual Release and Restructuring
Agreement, the short term unsecured promissory notes were amended
to
include certain unpaid salaries, benefits, previous salary deferrals,
and
unpaid expenses within the loan and are included in the above outstanding
balances at December 31, 2005. The loans from Messrs Atkiss,
Shouekani, and Weaver totaling $460,052 are classified on the balance
sheet as loans from related party and the loans from the former
employees
Castiglione and Sunstein have been reclassified on the balance
sheet as
part of short term debt.
|
|
The
terms of the unsecured Notes carried full payment of principal
and accrued
interest as of the end of the following fiscal year. Interest
on the Notes accrued at a rate equal to the Treasury Bills annual
rate of
interest announced monthly by the U.S. Government for one year
Treasury
Constant Maturities or at the lenders cost of funds
rate.
|
During
November 2005, Messrs Castiglione and Sunstein each converted $176,000
of
their loan balance into 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock.
|
|
On
February 9, 2007, the Company exchanged certain short term unsecured
promissory notes with current and former officers of the Company
for
unsecured twelve month convertible promissory notes with variable
interest
equal to the greater of the monthly market yield on 1-year constant
maturity U.S. Treasury securities or the noteholders cost of
funds. Each of the notes, at the option of each noteholder, are
convertible, in whole or part, into shares of the Company’s common stock
at a percentage of the preceding 52-week low trading range of the
Company’s publicly traded common stock price. The potential
beneficial conversion feature of the notes is recognized as debt
discount
and is accreted over the term of the notes as
interest-in-kind.

Due
to the Company’s net loss position from inception on September 14, 2000 to
December 31, 2005, there was no provision for income taxes
recorded. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory
federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax

As
a result of the Company’s losses to date, there exists doubt as to the
ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a
valuation allowance equal to the total deferred tax assets has been
recorded at December 31, 2005.
|
|
|
|
At
December 31, 2005, the Company had federal and state net operating
loss
carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $10,390,385 and $9,471,875
which may be available to offset future taxable income and which,
if not
used, begin to expire in 2011 and 2013, respectively.

Stock-based
compensation is recognized using the intrinsic value method. In
connection with the grant of stock options to employees, the company
recorded unearned stock-based compensation within stockholders’ deficit of
zero during the year ended December 31, 2005 representing the difference
between the estimated fair value of the common stock determined for
financial reporting purposes and the exercise price of these options
at
the date of grant. Amortization of unearned stock-based
compensation, net of any charges reversed during the period for the
forfeiture of unvested options, was $54,943 and $65,931 for the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.

OPTIONS (continued)

|
At
December 31, 2005, the unearned stock-based compensation of $113,694
will
be amortized as follows: $35,506 in 2006, $36,506 in 2007,
$33,599 in 2008, and $7,083 in 2009. The amount of stock-based
compensation expense to be recorded in future periods could decrease
if
options for which accrued but unvested compensation has been recorded
are
forfeited.
|
|
|
|
The
Company estimated the fair value of each option grant at the grant
date by
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used for grants during the years ended December
31,
2005 and 2004; no dividend yield, expected volatility of 103.2% and
200.7%, risk-free interest rates of 4.36% and 4.43%, and expected
lives of
10.0 and 10.0 years, respectively.
|
|
|
Had
compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards
under
those plans consistent with the method described in SFAS 123, the
Company’s net loss would have been as

of
up to 100,000 shares of newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is
