NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
A - General organization:
Preferred
Voice, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1992. On
February 25, 1997, the Company’s stockholders approved changing the name of the
Company to better reflect the nature of the Company’s business. The Company
commenced business on May 13, 1994, and was in the development stage until
August 1, 1995. The Company provides enhanced services to the
telecommunications industry throughout the United States and maintains its
principal offices in Dallas, Texas.
Note
B - Summary of significant accounting policies:
Basis
of presentation
|
|
The
accounting policies followed by Preferred Voice, Inc. are set forth in the
Company’s financial statements that are a part of its March 31, 2009, Form
10KSB and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for
the three months ended June 30, 2009, contained herein.
|
|
The
financial information included herein as of June 30, 2009, and for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, has been presented without an
audit, pursuant to accounting principles for the interim financial
information generally accepted in the United States of America and the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. The information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
period.
|
|
Cash
and cash equivalents
|
|
For
purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include all
amounts due from banks with original maturities of three months or
less.
|
|
Inventory
|
|
Inventory,
consisting of ringback platforms and their related components was $1,194
and digital signage and their related components was $24,786, is stated at
the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method.
|
|
Concentration
of business, market and credit risks
|
|
In
the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its
customers with payment terms generally 30 days. Because of the credit risk
involved, management provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which
reflects its opinion of amounts which will eventually become
uncollectible. In the event of complete nonperformance by the Company’s
customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding accounts
receivable balance at the date of nonperformance.
|
|
Receivables
and credit policies
|
|
Accounts
receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal
trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Unpaid
accounts receivable with invoice dates over 30 days old bear no
interest.
|
|
Accounts
receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Customer
account balances with invoices dated over 90 days are considered
delinquent.
|
|
Payments
of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified
on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the
earliest unpaid invoice.

NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
B - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
The
carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance
that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that will not be
collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable
balances that exceed 90 days from invoice date and, based on an assessment
of current creditworthiness, estimates that portion, if any, of the
balance that will not be collected. Accounts receivable past 90 days due
are $2,683 and $18,870 as of June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009,
respectively.
|
|
Capitalized
software development
|
|
The
Company has adopted the provisions of FASB No. 86,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed, to account for its internally developed
software costs since the Company is dependent on the software to provide
the voice recognition services. Under the provisions of FASB No. 86, costs
incurred prior to the product’s technological feasibility are expensed as
incurred. The capitalization of software development costs begins when a
product’s technological feasibility has been established and ends when the
product is available for use and released to customers. Capitalized
software development costs include direct costs incurred subsequent to
establishment of technological feasibility for significant product
enhancements. Amortization is computed on an individual product basis
using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the
product, generally three years.
|
|
Property
and equipment
|
|
The
cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line
method for financial reporting purposes and the double declining method
for income tax purposes.
|
|
Maintenance
and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and
renewals are capitalized.
|
|
The
useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing
depreciation are as follows:
|
Computer
equipment
|
5
years
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
5
years
|
Office
equipment
|
5
years
|
Fair
value of financial instruments
|
|
The
Company defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at
which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties. Financial instruments included in the Company’s financial
statements include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable,
other receivables, other assets, notes payable and long-term debt. Unless
otherwise disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, the carrying
value of financial instruments is considered to approximate fair value due
to the short maturity and characteristics of those instruments. The
carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value as terms
approximate those currently available for similar debt
instruments.
|
|
Revenue
recognition
|
|
For
recognizing revenue, the Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue
Recognition which was issued in December 2003. In most cases, the
services being performed do not require significant production,
modification or customization of the Company’s software or services;
therefore, revenues are recognized when evidence of a completed
transaction exists, generally when services have been rendered. In
situations where the Company receives an initial payment for future
services, the Company defers recognition of revenue, and recognizes the
revenue over the life of the respective contract. SAB No. 104 codified,
revised and rescinded certain sections of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)
No. 101, Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements, in order to make this
interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting
guidance and SEC rules and
regulations.

Note
B - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
Income
or loss per share
|
|
The
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings
per Share. SFAS No. 128 reporting requirements replace primary and
fully-diluted earnings per share (EPS) with basic and diluted EPS. Basic
EPS is calculated by dividing net income or loss (available to common
stockholders) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock. For the three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive
effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per
common share.
|
|
Income
per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 6,130,184
for both periods.
|
|
Income
taxes
|
|
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
that will apply in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.
|
|
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on December 1,
2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in
accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required
by Interpretation 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a
tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would
more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax
positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial
statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant
tax authority.
|
|
Trademarks
and patents
|
|
Trademarks
and patents are recorded at cost. Amortization is computed on the
straight-line method over the identifiable lives of the trademarks and
patents. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, effective for periods beginning
January 1, 2002, and thereafter. SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible
Assets. Specifically, the statement addresses how intangible assets
that are acquired should be accounted for in financial statements upon
their acquisition, as well as how goodwill and other intangible assets
should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the
financial statements. The statement requires intangible assets to be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable and that a
loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible exceeds
its fair value.
|
|
Impairment
of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed
of
|
|
The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective for
periods beginning January 1, 2002 and thereafter. SFAS 144 replaces SFAS
121, Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of, and, among other matters, addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets. SFAS 144 retains the basic provisions of SFAS 121, but broadens
its scope and establishes a single model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale.

TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
B - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
Use
of estimates
|
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.
|
|
Reporting
comprehensive income and operating
segments
|
|
The
Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income and SFAS No. 131, Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No.
130 requires that an enterprise report, by major components and as a
single total, the change in its net assets during the period from
non-owner sources. SFAS No. 131 establishes annual and interim reporting
standards for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures
about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers.
Adoption of these statements has had no impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations, cash flow or related
disclosures.
|
|
Stock-based
compensation
|
|
Effective
April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation. This statement now requires the
Company to recognize compensation costs related to stock-based payment
transactions (i.e. granting of stock options and warrants to employees) in
the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of
compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of
the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards
will be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be
recognized over the period that an employee provides services in exchange
for the award. Compensation expense recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $-0- for both periods.
|
|
Note C - Convertible debt and warrants: | |
On March 31, 2005, the Company closed a Securities Purchase Agreement and issued $975,000 in principal amount of 6% Convertible Debentures due March 31, 2008 and subsequently extended to December 31, 2009, (the “Debentures”), to a group of institutional and high net worth investors. The company has repaid $390,000 of the principal balance to the Debenture holders leaving an outstanding balance of $585,000. All but $60,000 of the debentures have been extended to December 31, 2009. The Debentures pay an interest rate of 6% on an annual basis and are convertible into 1,170,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.50 per share. The Company recorded the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion of $257,500 as interest expense as the shareholders approved an increase in its authorized shares to 100,000,000 shares on April 27, 2006. The investors also received warrants to purchase an additional 975,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.60 per share. | |
The Company allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures to the warrants and the Debentures based on their relative fair market values at the date of issuance. The value assigned to the warrants of $427,416 was recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital. The assignment of a value to the warrants results in a loan discount being recorded for the same amount. The discount was amortized over the original three-year term of the Debentures as additional interest expense. The loan costs incurred on the issuance of the Debentures amounted to $2,430. | |
On September 29, 2006, the Company closed a Securities Purchase Agreement and issued $1,170,000 in principal amount of 6% Convertible Debentures due September 29, 2009 (the “Debentures”), to a group of institutional and high net worth investors. The Debentures pay an interest rate of 6% on an annual basis and are convertible into 3,342,857 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.35 per share. The investors also received warrants to purchase an additional 1,671,429 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. |

Overview
We
began operations in May 1994 as a traditional 1+ long-distance reseller.
Recognizing the declines in telecommunications service prices and the decreasing
margins being experienced in long distance sales, we decided to sell our long
distance customer base and assets in early 1997. Originally we focused on the
development, testing, and deployment of voice activated telecommunications
services that would allow any consumer the ability to “dial” their calls using
their voice. Even though we believe voice activated products have viability in
the telecommunications arena, we have concentrated our last two years of
development efforts on the growing trend in mobile entertainment.
We
first contracted with a leading content provider to distribute their library of
downloadable wireless games, picture messages, graphics and ring-tones. Our
first content project was launched on June 18, 2004 with a full turnkey solution
for the carrier that includes secure customer login from the carrier website,
viewing of content, download of content, and creation of a billing record for
the carriers billing system. This initial introduction to mobile entertainment
led us to research the viability of additional personalized entertainment
services that could be delivered through our network. On October 22, 2004 we
announced the first commercial launch of a ringback service in the United States
with the launch of our Rockin’ Ringback service. Our personalized ringback
service provides a network-based personalized service that enables users to
choose an audio file that callers will listen to while the phone is ringing. We
believe that since we already have a relationship with the carrier and are
integrated with these carriers customer service departments and billing
departments that we have an opportunity to introduce new products with minimal
integration effort. We will continue to research and either develop or acquire
additional services that can be deployed through our platform. As of July 31,
2009 we had five carrier customers providing ringback service through our My
Phone Services Suite platform with a possible 7 million addressable customer
base.
Our
system structure is a robust data base system which will allow for scalability
and the addition of new services to the platform in shorter development cycles
than were possible under our previous structure. On September 15, 2004 we
announced the release of “My Phone Services Suite”, which incorporates our
network address book, network voice dialing, Push2Connect, and Rockin Ringback
services into one user-centric service that allows the subscriber to personalize
the look and feel of their communications service especially for their
personality. Revenue from these new products is expected to be slow with no
guarantees of market and/or customer acceptance. We also believe that we will
continue to see increased competition that along with many other factors may
have an impact on the company and its products.
The
implementation of our business plan is subject to risks inherent in the
establishment and deployment of technology. In order for us to succeed, we
must:
●
|
secure
adequate financial and human resources to meet our requirements, including
adequate numbers of technical support staff to provide service for our
phone company customers;
|
|
●
|
establish
and maintain relationships with phone companies;
|
|
●
|
make
sure the GAP system works with the telephone switches of all of the major
manufacturers;
|
|
●
|
achieve
user acceptance for our services;
|
|
●
|
generate
reasonable margins on our services;
|
|
●
|
continue
to deploy and install GAP systems on a timely and acceptable
schedule;
|
11
●
|
respond
to competitive market developments;
|
|
●
|
mitigate
risk associated with our technology by obtaining patents and copyrights
and other protections of our intellectual property; and
|
|
●
|
continually
update and add to our product offerings to meet the needs of
consumers.
|
Failure
to achieve these objectives could adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition. Increased competition from other providers of
similar services can and have impacted our business.
Results
of Operations
We
recorded a net gain of $172,620 or $.03 per share for the period ended June 30,
2009, compared to a net gain of $9,825 or $0.0 per share, for the period ended
June 30, 2008.
Total
Sales
Total
revenue for the period ended June 30, 2009, was $1,098,125 compared to $960,173
for the period ended June 30, 2008. Revenues in both periods consisted of
revenue sharing receipts from our customer phone companies, and installation of
field systems.
We
do anticipate that revenues from the My Phone Services Suite to begin gradually
and build as new customers to the service integrate and market the product to
their subscriber base.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales for the period ended June 30, 2009 was $542,859 compared to $507,765
for the period ended June 30, 2008. Cost of sales consisted of costs for
systems, network infrastructure such as collocations, connectivity, system
access and long distance to end-users and third party content costs during both
periods.
Selling,
General and Administrative
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the period ended June 30, 2009 were
$329,872 compared to $386,783 for the period ended June 30, 2008. We expect that
selling, general and administrative expenses will remain steady through fiscal
year 2010, such expenses to include costs related to the number of employees,
office space requirements and general overhead.
Core
Technology Enhancements Software Applications and
Hardware
The
capitalization of software development costs begins when a product’s
technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product is
available for general release to customers. Capitalized software development
costs include direct costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological
feasibility for significant product enhancements. There were no software
development costs capitalized for the periods ended June 30, 2009 or 2008. The
amortization of capitalized software development costs for the periods ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $4,199 and $8,210 respectively.
Other
Income and Expense
Interest
expenses for the period ended June 30, 2009 were $52,774 compared to $55,800 for
the period ended June 30, 2008.
Income
Taxes
As
of June 30, 2009, we had cumulative federal net operating losses of
approximately $20.3 million, which can be used to offset future income subject
to federal income tax through the fiscal year 2029. Net operating loss
limitations may be imposed if changes in stock ownership of the company create a
change of control as provided in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986.
12
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009 were approximately $405,221, a
decrease of $60,966 from $466,187 at March 31, 2009. We have relied primarily on
the issuance of stock, convertible debentures and warrants to fund our
operations since January of 1997 when we sold our long-distance resale
operation.
On
March 31, 2005, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D
thereunder, we completed the sale of 97.5 units (“Units”) with each Unit
consisting of a 3-year, 6% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of
$10,000.00, and 50,000 5-year warrants to purchase a share of Common Stock,
$.001 par value per share, of the Company at an exercise price of $.12 for an
aggregate of $975,000. The balance of these debentures at June 30, 2009 was
$585,000.
On
September 29, 2006, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and
Regulation D thereunder, we completed the sale of 117 units (“Units”) with each
Unit consisting of a 3-year, 6% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of
$10,000.00, and 14,286 5-year warrants to purchase a share of Common Stock,
$.001 par value per share, of the Company at an exercise price of $.10 for an
aggregate of $1,170,000.
Due
to uncertainties regarding a number of new customer contracts that are in the
Company’s sales pipeline, it is difficult for management to project the
Company’s revenue performance, operating profits or loss, or cash requirements
beyond the next twelve months. Even though the Company has been able to secure
additional financing to provide current working capital, there is no assurance
that the Company will be able to generate the required revenues to sustain its
current working capital requirements or to raise additional debt or equity
capital that may be required to meet its objectives in the future. The Company’s
challenging financial circumstances may make the terms, conditions, and cost of
any available capital relatively unfavorable. If additional debt or equity
capital is not readily available, the Company will be forced to further scale
back its operations, including its efforts to complete new sales. The Company’s
short term needs for capital may force it to consider and potentially pursue
other strategic options sooner than it might otherwise have desired. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability of and classification
of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to
investors.
Future
Obligations
Management
projects working capital needs to be approximately $1,440,000 over the next
twelve months for corporate overhead and equipment purchases to continue to
deploy services to carrier customers. Additionally, the Company has $1,755,000
of debentures due on or before December 31, 2009. Management believes that
current cash and cash equivalents and cash that may be generated from operations
will not be sufficient to meet both the anticipated capital requirements and the
debenture repayment on their maturity date. Management believes that it can
negotiate extensions on the debentures which will allow them to meet working
capital needs from anticipated operating cash flows as well as extinguish some
portion of the debentures due. Such projections have been based on revenue
trends from current customers and customers which are already under contract
utilizing the revenue rates that have been experienced over the past six months
with currently installed customers and projected cash requirements to support
installation, sales and marketing, and general overhead. If the Company cannot
renegotiate extensions on the debenture maturity dates or operating projections
are not realized it may be forced to raise additional capital through the
issuance of new shares, the exercise of outstanding warrants, or reduction of
current overhead.

Risk

Item
4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer, who
also acts as our Chief Financial Officer, of the Company has evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the quarter covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q are effective as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act.
Due to
the limited number of Company employees engaged in the authorization, recording,
processing and reporting of transactions, there is inherently a lack of
segregation of duties. The Company periodically assesses the cost versus benefit
of adding the resources that would remedy or mitigate this situation and
currently, does not consider the benefits to merit the cost of these
resources.
Changes
in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred
during our last fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 that materially affected, or
was reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.

1. Legal
Proceedings.
In February, 2008, we
were sued by Ring Plus, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California alleging infringement of its U.S. Patent No. 7,006,608
(the “608 Patent”) which pertains to ringback tone replacement methods and
algorithms. Ring Plus, Inc. is seeking declaratory judgment that we have
violated the 608 Patent, preliminary and permanent injunctions, an order that we
destroy all infringing items, and money damages in a sum according to proof at
trial. We do not believe that we infringe the 608 Patent and we believe we have
meritorious defenses to the action.
Item
