CORDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period Ended June 30, 2008
Unaudited
Note 1: Basis of Presentation/Going Concern
Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods reported. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The interim condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Cordia Corporation (Cordia) and
the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries Cordia Communications Corp.
(CCC), My Tel Co, Inc (MTC), and its subsidiaries, Cordia International
Corp. (CIC), and its subsidiaries, and CordiaIP Corp. (80% owned) (CordiaIP)
and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007. Cordia and its
subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the Company. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain amounts as previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Going Concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $(1,720,000) for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 and also has a negative working capital of approximately $12,468,000 and a deficiency in stockholders equity of approximately $5,290,000 as of June 30, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations as they come due during 2008. In its efforts to strengthen its financial position the Company may also have to raise cash from additional sources such as short-term funding, to cover short-term cash deficiencies that may arise.
New Significant Accounting Policies
Prepaid services revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value, and consists of prepaid calling cards.
Note 2: (Loss) Per Share
(Loss) per common share is calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to report both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. Diluted (loss) per share for 2008, and 2007, is the same as basic earnings per share as the effect of the common stock purchase options and warrants outstanding, on such calculation, would have been anti-dilutive.
Weighted average number of shares outstanding was 6,391,700 and 5,618,675, for basic and diluted loss per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively, and 6,486,789 and 5,616,451, for three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Potentially dilutive weighted average shares that were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their impact would be anti-dilutive, aggregated 917,000 and 1,136,000 vested stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 161)
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 141 Revised (SFAS No. 141(R)): Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Statement of Financial Standard No.
160 (SFAS No. 160) Noncontrolling interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of ARB 51
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-and Amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not currently expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have an impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this statement on its non-financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Note 6: Impairment of Goodwill
The Company accounts for its goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires the company to test goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill acquired in the purchase of Midwest and TSI will be reviewed for possible impairment at least annually. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with the purchase of Triamis Group Limited exceeded its fair value, which was estimated based on the present value of expected future cash inflows. Accordingly, a goodwill impairment loss of $284,000 was recognized. Management does not believe that there is any impairment at June 30, 2008.
Note 7: Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional currency of Triamis and Cordia HK Limited (Cordia HK) is the local currency, the Hong Kong dollar (HK$), the functional currency of CC Brazil f/k/a Canal West is the local currency, the Brazilian Real (R$), and the functional currency of Cordia Phils, Inc. is the local currency, the Filipino Peso (P$). For these foreign operations, the assets and liabilities have been translated into US dollars using period-end exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and revenue and expenses have been translated using average daily exchange rates for the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustment of approximately ($61,000) is included in comprehensive (loss) as a separate component of stockholders equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures 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 unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes there have been no significant changes during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, to the items disclosed as significant accounting policies in management's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company filed a 10-K/A after identifying errors related to certain intercompany transactions and the recognition of expense during the fourth quarter of 2007.
Overview
We are a global telecommunications firm generating our revenue from the provision of telecommunications services domestically and internationally to business, residential, and wholesale customers. We provide both local and long distance services utilizing traditional wireline and VoIP technologies on both a pre-paid and post-paid basis. Historically, our traditional bundled wireline service offerings have represented a majority of our revenue, followed by revenue derived from our VoIP service offerings and business process outsourced services. We believe that this trend will continue throughout 2008, as we continue our expansion domestically into new states and internationally into new markets. In addition, we expect that the revenue derived from our recent purchase of prepaid service assets from TSI will become a significant contributor to the overall revenue of the Company. We believe that the acquisition of Midwest Marketing and Northstar Telecom, a telemarketing firm and competitive local exchange carrier, along with the launch of our call center in the Philippines, will continue to encourage this trend as it has resulted in an increased line count and has given us the ability to lower our customer acquisition costs.
Our traditional wireline service offerings include local exchange, local access, domestic and international long distance telephone services, and a full suite of local features and calling plans to small business and consumers in various states throughout the country, primarily in the Qwest and Verizon territories. We also have a commercial agreement in place with another non-incumbent local exchange carrier in an effort to expand our footprint, keep costs low, and reduce our reliance on the incumbent carriers.
Our VoIP service offerings include a flat rate plan starting as low as $14.95 per month, combined with a full suite of enhanced features which make our service an attractive value proposition to existing and potential customers. Customers also have the option of choosing their desired area code with this service, being able to choose from more than forty (40) countries and hundreds of cities worldwide for their telephone number regardless of their physical location making any long distance or international call local. As a complement to our mainstream VoIP service offering we also provide a fully integrated Spanish language VoIP service through our wholly owned subsidiary VOszIP, Corp. (VOszIP).

We recently formed CPC for the purpose of acquiring the assets of TSI Prepaid, LLC. The acquisition allows us to diversify our position in the telecommunications marketplace by introducing prepaid international phone cards to our service portfolio, as well as prepaid wireline and VoIP services. We believe that providing prepaid phone cards, as well as serving as one of the underlying network service providers for these cards, will comprise approximately 40% of the Companys overall revenues during the next twelve months. Further, our entrance into prepaid services will also contribute to the expansion of the sales and distribution channels of our wireline and VoIP services by promoting these services in prepaid calling card retail outlets.
Our service portfolio also includes our MagellanÒ service which is supported by our internally developed VoIP network. MagellanÒ customers get their own personal international telephone number or extension that is routed through our IP platform to the customers landline or mobile phone allowing customers to be reached anywhere in the world at local rates. We believe this service offering will be attractive to executives traveling abroad and ex-patriates who need to stay in touch with their colleagues, friends and family. We use this product internally to keep in touch with our offices and employees located abroad and/or on field assignment. As a result, we are constantly testing the integrity of the service and making improvements on functionality based on our experience with the service.
We also offer an extensive outsourced service product line, which includes as its primary offering outsourced billing on a wholesale basis to telecommunications service providers. Our wholesale customers have access to our secure Internet enabled software systems in which user-friendly web client front-ends called WorkspacesÒ serve as an interface for integration with our software systems. The full suite of services available is described in its entirety in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Service below.
Wireline Services
We offer small business and residential consumers wireline service by leasing a portion of the network owned by other, larger telecommunications carriers, namely Verizon and Qwest. These leasing arrangements are controlled by multi-state, multi-year interconnection and commercial services agreements that allow us to offer telecommunications services to consumers without incurring the capital expenditures associated with building our own network. We have executed amendments to these agreements securing long-term extensions and continued access to their networks. We also have a commercial services agreement with McLeodUSA, Inc., which will allow for the expansion of our geographic footprint as well as broaden our underlying service provider portfolio and diminish our reliance on larger telecommunications carriers.
We offer local exchange, local access, domestic and international long distance telephone services, and a full suite of local features and calling plans to small business and residential consumers in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin through Cordia Communications Corp. (CCC), My Tel Co, Inc. (MTC), and Northstar Telecom Inc. (NST). Subsequent to the balance sheet date, we began conducting test sales and provisioning pursuant to our relationship with McLeodUSA, Inc., by offering services to customers in Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio. We are also licensed to provide local and/or long distance telecommunications services, but are not actively marketing or providing services, in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas. Applications for authorization to operate as a local and long distance telecommunications carrier are pending in Arizona and Kansas.
MTC distinguishes itself from CCC and NST by targeting consumers in the secondary consumer credit market. Sales associated with MTC have been positive, however due to our serving consumers who would otherwise have difficulty in obtaining telecommunications services because of their credit history our bad debt results were higher than anticipated. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2007, we ceased targeting the secondary consumer credit market
-14-
Prepaid Services
As a complement to our wireline services, we have launched prepaid calling services through Cordia Prepaid, Corp. (CPC). CPC recently completed an asset purchase with TSI Prepaid, LLC, a distributor of prepaid telecommunications services, in which it acquired any and all assets necessary to carry out the business of TSI Prepaid, LLC, including but not limited to inventory, fixed assets, intellectual property, billing systems and management information systems, agreements, customer lists and vendor lists. In a related transaction, Cordia entered into an investment agreement to acquire a minority interest in Wholetel, Inc., a startup company affiliated with TSI that operates a turnkey products and services delivery system for retailers and consumers. The Company believes the purchase will boost overall revenue adding a retail distribution network that reaches approximately 7,000 locations. This asset purchase should expand and diversify our revenue stream, as well as allow us to greatly increase the number of potential customers we can reach with our products and services. We further expect to begin providing network services to the calling card industry by utilizing our existing worldwide network and established relationships with partners around the world.
VoIP Services
We launched the commercial roll-out of our VoIP service offering, a voice over broadband solution enabling delivery of voice services over any broadband Internet Protocol (IP) connection through our wholly-owned subsidiary CordiaIP Corp. (CordiaIP) in January 2006. We believe VoIP is the logical extension of our traditional wireline telecommunications service offerings. To this end we have hired additional personnel and built our own proprietary VoIP network, including our own network software and operating support systems.
We offer a wide range of service plans, including a flat rate plan starting as low as $14.95 per month. Along with a full suite of enhanced features, our service is an attractive value proposition to existing and potential customers. We strive to be the worlds local phone company® and give our customers the option of choosing their desired area code, offering telephone numbers from more than forty (40) countries and hundreds of cities worldwide. This will allow consumers to make international calls at local rates, a feature not available with traditional wireline service. We also recognize that a large percentage of the United States population speaks Spanish as a primary language. To accommodate these users we launched VozsIP, a fully integrated Spanish language VoIP service. This service, which is identical in quality and functionality to its English counterpart, was designed to be a purely Spanish language experience and includes all Spanish user interfaces, voice prompts, invoices, customer service and targeted country calling plans. While the target market for our VoIP service is small business and consumers, we also offer our service on both a wholesale and resale basis.
International Services
We have focused on creating a niche in the international VoIP marketplace as the worlds local phone company® by providing value added services worldwide and creating partnerships and/or acquiring international VoIP providers on a global scale. In 2005, we formed Cordia International Corp. (CIC) to serve as a holding and management company for our overseas assets, which include our foreign based subsidiaries and affiliates in Brazil, Hong Kong, India, and the Philippines. We have made significant investments in our international services and have not yet reached a point of profitability relative to these efforts. To date we have incurred losses in executing our plan, and these investments have detracted from the true value of our wireline business, which on a stand alone basis would report a profit that is not apparent when reporting on a consolidated basis. In spite of our current costs and losses, we believe that our international services, which had revenue growth of approximately 300% for the period ended December 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, have long term value and we will continue our efforts to develop these businesses so that they may become self-sustaining.
-15-
We have been laying the foundation for the commercial launch of our VoIP product in Brazil by test marketing resold VoIP services of another licensed Brazilian entity. We have been promoting our services through in house telemarketing and have been receiving a positive response from the Brazilian market. On June 25, 2008, the Agéncia Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL), the Brazilian equivalent to the FCC, issued our Brazilian subsidiary a Serviçe Comunicação Multimídia (SCM) license. The license allows the Company to offer VoIP and value added services, including its Magellan® service line, internationally and domestically throughout Brazil, targeting small and medium business and residential customers. In addition, the license will allow us to move forward with the commercial launch of our VoIP product in Brazil utilizing our own network giving us the ability to ensure the quality of the services delivered to our customers while reducing expenses. In addition to our telemarketing efforts we anticipate rolling out an agent sales program designed to facilitate our rapid entry into this newly emerging industry, giving the Company the opportunity to play a central role in the deployment of IP based communications networks in Brazil.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2008, though our Indian joint venture, Cordia LT Communication Private Limited, we launched VoIP service offerings on a nationwide basis throughout India pursuant to the license granted by the Ministry of Communications. This license also allows us to operate as an Internet Service Provider in India, although to date we are only providing VoIP to our customers.
In Hong Kong, we have the authority to offer telecommunications services under a Public Non-Exclusive Telecommunications Services (PNETS) License. We recently opted not to renew our previously issued Services-Based Operator (SBO) license with the Office of Telecommunications Authority (OFTA), which covers VoIP services. While OFTA requires SBO holders to interconnect with the incumbent carriers in Hong Kong the regulatory authority does not impose the same requirement on the incumbent carriers. Therefore, due to the lack of regulatory guidance on interconnection and the incumbent carriers unwillingness to interconnect we believed it was in the best interest of the company not to renew this license. We still believe that Hong Kong serves as the gateway to Asia and represents the opportunity to serve the more than 40% of the worlds internet and broadband subscribers located in that region, and will renew our efforts in the future.
In the Philippines, we launched our offshore call center during 2007. The center provides the Company with various services including outbound telemarketing, customer service, welcome calls, and collections. The launch of this location has allowed us to better serve our customers at a reduced cost .In addition, capitalizing on the recent growth of outsourced call center locations in the country, we are expanding our service portfolio to include underlying service provider, offering a call center package utilizing our worldwide network.
In addition to our overseas holdings we continue to foster bilateral relationships with international VoIP carriers, such as our network interconnection with Bayan Telecommunications, Inc. (Bayan), the second largest Philippine landline provider. This will allow unlimited calling from Cordias international network to Bayans wire-line and wireless customers sold by Cordia. Our goal in seeking out these global partnerships is to gain low cost access to their networks, allowing us to deliver high quality, low cost global communications services to our domestic and international customers.
To date, our VoIP network includes international Direct Inward Dial (DID) telephone numbers from more than forty (40) countries; network points of presence in Hong Kong, India, Brazil and the United States; and peering agreements with approximately ten (10) carriers. We believe that by blending our marketing capabilities, proprietary billing and operation support systems (OSS), IP communications technology and international bilateral agreements we can take advantage of the large disparity between wholesale costs in some markets and retail rates in other markets to create a competitive advantage in the international communications market. We believe that by offering a wide range of international numbers integrated with broadband, wireline, wireless and VoIP services bundled from our network and those of our peering partners we can create bundled service offerings that present an attractive value proposition to our customers.
-16-
Business Process Outsourcing Service (BPO Services)
We offer an extensive outsourced service product line, which includes as its primary offering outsourced billing on a wholesale basis to telecommunications service providers. Our wholesale customers have access to our secure Internet enabled software systems in which user-friendly web client front-ends called Workspaces® serve as an interface for integration with our software systems. The services available to wholesalers through our Workspaces® are the same services utilized internally for the provision of our own traditional wireline and VoIP services to our customers. As such, we are continuously updating and improving these processes to ensure optimal functionality. We believe our outsourced solutions are an attractive offering because it is not a pre-packaged all or nothing product; the wholesale customer has the power to assess their organization and then adopt and utilize only the functions they believe will increase their own profitability. Our goal is to tailor our services to our clients needs and create a mutually beneficial and profitable relationship. We believe this is achieved by offering process driven software whereby client required modifications to our systems are made at the server level and then instantly passed onto the clients end users, promoting our commitment to the continuous development and improvement of our Workspaces®. We bill these services on a predominantly per line basis and have experienced a decrease in BPO Services revenues as a result of the decreased line count experienced by our wholesale customers operations.
Accordingly, revenue derived from our BPO Services has become a less material part of our total revenue.
Plan of Operation
With the extensions of our commercial wholesale agreements in place, we will continue to promote our traditional wireline services expanding into new service territories, targeting small business customers, and offering stand alone long distance services to customers in over ten (10) new territories. The stock purchase and acquisition of Midwest Marketing Group, Inc., a Nebraska based telemarketing firm with approximately 250 seats, and its wholly owned subsidiary Northstar Telecom Inc., a Nebraska based competitive local exchange carrier operating in primarily in the Qwest territory, has facilitated the promotion of our wireline offerings while keeping cost of acquisition low. This acquisition increased our subscriber base by adding approximately 18,000 lines and approximately $10 million in revenue. In addition, the acquisition has allowed us to bring our sales and support efforts in house, at a significantly reduced cost.
Another long term means of cost reduction was the launch of our call center in Cebu, Philippines. The decision to open the call center was made after successfully transitioning a portion of our sales and marketing efforts offshore, reducing our customer acquisition costs during the latter half of 2006. We have saved approximately 50% on our costs associated with acquiring new customers and believe that having our own domestic based telemarketing firm and our own overseas call center will also contribute to the increased growth of our wireline, VoIP, and Magellan customer base. We anticipate nearly 90% of future sales will be handled between the Midwest call center and our newly established call center in Cebu, Philippines and that this increase in revenue, coupled with lower acquisition costs and improved operating efficiency, will have a positive effect on our 2008 results of operations.
In addition to concentrating on promoting growth and revenue relative to our wireline offerings, we will continue to focus on our international VoIP initiative, which includes our recently launched Magellan service offerings. With Magellan, customers get their own personal international phone number that is routed, utilizing our IP network, to their mobile or landline phone allowing the customer to be contacted anywhere in the world at local rates. While we continue to believe in the long term value of our international services and businesses we recognize the financial strain it has placed on our wireline service offerings and its overall effect on our financial profile. We are optimistic about the growth of our VoIP and International services and believe that in time these businesses can become self-sustaining. The recent trend in our VoIP related revenues is encouraging, and we will continue to invest in our international VoIP initiatives. During the first six months of 2008, we launched our VoIP services in Brazil and India. To date we are only providing VoIP service, but our long-term objective in both of these countries is to deploy our own next generation wireless IP network utilizing WiMAX technology capable of providing mobile voice, data and value added services.
-17-
With the addition of CPC and its recently acquired prepaid assets we are diversifying our position in the telecommunications marketplace by including prepaid international phone cards to our service portfolio as well as prepaid wireline and VoIP services. We expect to continue utilizing the distributor network in place at the time of acquisition as well as expanding this network internationally utilizing Cordias established global relationships. In addition, we will expand the sales and distribution channels of our existing wireline and VoIP products through the 7,000 plus retail distributors that are in place though the purchase of the TSI assets. We believe this will have a positive effect on our revenue growth.

Total operating revenues for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, increased by approximately $7,445,000 and $5,666,000, respectively, to approximately $27,591,000 and $15,575,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $20,146,000 and $9,909,000, respectively, reported in same periods ended June 30, 2007.
Our primary source of revenue is through our wireline services and is earned primarily through the provisioning of services to business, residential and wholesale customers for basic telephone service, including local and long distance service, as well as ancillary services such as voice mail and call waiting and to a lesser extent from CABS billing. For the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, our wireline services revenue increased by approximately $3,484,000 (18%) and $2,081,000 (22%)to approximately $23,049,000 and $11,693,000, respectively from approximately $19,565,000 and $9,612,000 reported in the same periods last year. This increase is attributable to a 27% and 32%, respectively, increase in lines, which is primarily due to the acquisition of NST in August 2007 offset, in part, by lower average rates.
For the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, our VoIP services revenue increased by approximately $915,000 and $427,000, respectively, to approximately $1,243,000 and $588,000, as compared to the same period ended 2007. Included in 2008 revenue were equipment sales of approximately $35,000 and $196,000, respectively. Approximately $390,000 of the increase in VoIP revenue for the six month period was related to our international services and approximately $525,000 was related to our domestic services.
For the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, billing services revenue, consisting primarily of income earned through our outsourcing of billing services, data, and website technology to wholesale telecommunications providers, decreased by approximately $244,000 and $132,000 to approximately $9,000 and $4,000 , as compared to approximately $253,000 and $136,000 reported in the same periods in 2007. This change occurred as a result of our wholesale customers decreased line counts. We expect this revenue source to be insignificant over the next couple of quarters due to decreasing line counts experienced by our BPO customers.
From June 5, 2008 the Company generated prepaid services revenues of approximately $3,290,000.

Wireline Services
Cost of revenue from wireline services consists of resale and wholesale line charges and represent our network access fees paid in order to provide local and long distance telephone service to our customers. These expenses vary in direct correlation to the size of our telecommunications customer base. We have experienced an increase of approximately $2,878,000 (27%) and $1,737,000 (34%) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The majority of this increase is due to the increase in our line count and higher wholesale line charges for the six month period.
VoIP Services
Cost of revenue for VoIP services increased $679,000 and $313,000 for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. Approximately, $419,000 of this increase was related to international operations and $259,000 was related to domestic operations for the 6 month period. Included in the international costs was $122,000 related to the sale of equipment.
Prepaid Services
From June 5, 2008, the Companys cost of prepaid services was $3,161,000.
Gross Profit Margin
For the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, we experienced a decrease of our gross profit margin to 36.20% and 32.16%, respectively, from approximately 45.97% and 45.96% reported for the same periods on 2007. The decrease is due, in part, to prepaid services with gross margins of 3.9%. Gross margin for the wireline decrease is due to lower average rates and an increase of wholesale line charges. Gross margin for VoIP services improved from (16.96) % to 14.58%. VoIP services have disproportionately higher expenses associated with its continuing roll out of VOIP. In addition BPO revenue decreased with no reduction in expenses.

Consolidated operating expenses increased by approximately $367,000 and $141,000, respectively, to approximately $11,153,000 and $5,638,000, respectively, for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, as compared to approximately $10,785,000 and $5,497,000, respectively, reported during the comparable periods in 2007. Approximately $101,000 of the increase is related to our VoIP and international operations and $206,000 is related to our wireline and corporate operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Sales and Marketing
For the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $343,000 and $240,000, respectively, to approximately $2,469,000 and $1,252,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $2,126,000 and $1,012,000, respectively, reported in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to the growth of our CLEC customer base and marketing expenses to promote our international VoIP product.
Bad Debts
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our bad debt expense increased by approximately $95,000 to approximately $1,669,000 compared to the prior year and decreased by approximately $179,000 for the three month period, from approximately $979,000 reported in the prior year to approximately $800,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. We expect that our increased efforts and close monitoring of our receivables will enable us to effectively manage our bad debt exposure throughout the remainder of 2008.
-20-
General and Administrative
General and administrative (G&A) expenses include, but are not limited to salaries, rent, office expenses, insurance, commissions, telephone, bank and credit card processing fees, license expense and registration fees. G&A expenses decreased by approximately $78,000 and $77,000, respectively, for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. This was due primarily to a decrease in costs associated with both our domestic and international VoIP initiatives. For the six month period approximately $170,000 is an increase relating to our VoIP and international operations, $116,000 is related to our prepaid operations and a decrease of $424,000 is related to our wireline and corporate operations. We believe that G&A expense will increase throughout 2008, as compared to 2007, due to the expansion of our international operations, the inclusion of Midwest and NST for the full year, and Cordia Prepaid Corps launch of prepaid services.
Impairment of Goodwill
At March 31, 2007, the Company evaluated the goodwill associated with the purchase of Triamis and deemed the carrying value of the goodwill to be impaired. In accordance with FASB 142 the Company wrote down the goodwill with an impairment charge of $284,000. For the period ended June 30, 2008, the Company deemed that no impairment charge was needed.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $292,000 and $157,000, respectively, for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. This increase was due to the amortization of the customer lists associated with the acquisition of Midwest and NST, additions of depreciable office equipment and labor costs associated with our rollout of VoIP, which was capitalized and depreciated in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1. Depreciation and amortization associated with Midwest and NST totaled approximately $122,000 and $64,000 for the six and three month periods, respectively.
Depreciation on equipment and capitalized software costs are calculated using the straight line method and declining balance method over a three (3) year period. Amortization of leasehold improvements and other assets is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the asset or the remaining lease term.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of approximately $984,000, a decrease of approximately $189,000 from amounts reported at December 31, 2007, and negative working capital of approximately $12,485,000, as compared to negative working capital of approximately $9,781,000 reported at December 31, 2007. The decrease in working capital is primarily related to the increase in accounts payable and billed taxes payable, purchase of customer lists and payment on notes payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, aggregated approximately $1,712,000, an increase of approximately $303,000, from approximately $1,409,000 provided during the same period in 2007. The principal source of net cash for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was primarily the net income from operations (net of non cash expenses of compensatory stock, bad debts and depreciation and amortization) of $1,078,000 and an increase in accounts payable and taxes payable aggregating approximately $4,718,000 offset, in part, by increases in accounts receivable of $3,952,000. The principal source of cash for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, was primarily the net income from operations (net of non cash expenses of compensatory stock, bad debts and depreciation and amortization) of $558,000 and an increase in accounts payable and taxes payable of $1,703,000, offset, in part, by increases in accounts receivable, $1,586,000, prepaid expenses and other current assets, $41,000, accrued usage receivable, $301,000 and an increase in accounts payable, $98,000.
-21-
Net cash used by investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, aggregated approximately $1,565,000 compared to net cash used of approximately $906,000 during the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used by investing activities consisted primarily of the acquisition of TSI operations of approximately $797,000, expenditures for internally developed software for our VoIP platform of approximately $271,000 ($355,000 in 2007), the purchase of customer lists of approximately $224,000, loans receivable of approximately $71,000 and purchase of property plant and equipment of $194,000 ($526,000 in 2007).
For the period ending June 30, 2008, net cash used by financing activities was approximately $289,000 as compared to approximately $22,000 for the 2007 period. Financing expenditures consisted primarily of payments of loans amounting to $262,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had sales and marketing expenses of approximately $2,469,000, or approximately 8.9% of revenues. Starting in the second half of 2006, we transitioned a portion of our sales and marketing efforts offshore resulting in lower customer acquisition costs. In addition, we opened our own call center in the Philippines and have purchased a 250 seat call center based in Nebraska where we expect to see significant savings in our customer acquisition costs.
At June 30, 2008, our balance sheet showed $142,000 in restricted cash in the form of a LOC for the benefit of Qwest secured by funds deposited into a restricted money market account. The LOC was originally effective for a term of one (1) year, however Qwest renewed it for an additional one (1) year period. The LOC was due to expanding our wireline service offerings into additional states covered by our commercial services agreement with Qwest. Additionally, at the December 31, 2007 date we had an LOC of $30,000 for NST. This was acquired in the Midwest Acquisition in August of 2007 and was obtained for the benefit of Verizon, and is included in the December 31, 2007 balance sheet. The remaining amount represents interest on the LOCs.
The Company has incurred losses and also has a negative working capital and a deficiency in stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management, however, believes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations as they come due during the next twelve month period.
The Company recognized the need for additional working capital to strengthen its financial position, maintain growth, payment of tax obligations and continue to carry out its plans for its international expansion of VoIP and related value added services and entered into Factoring and Security Agreement (Factoring Agreement) with Thermo Credit, LLC (Thermo), a Colorado limited liability company, in September 2007. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, in July 2008, the parties entered into an amendment to the Factoring Agreement increasing the Companys purchase commitment amount by Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($500,000) to an aggregate Five Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars ($5,500,000).
Management believes that with the increase in sales from NST, the entry into the prepaid market, and the cost savings generated from our lower customer acquisition costs, the Company will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations as they come due during the next twelve month period. We do, however, recognize the limiting effect that our liquidity has on our growth rate and management may seek additional sources of capital in the future, including but not limited to a private placement of the Companys common stock, to neutralize this limitation in the future.
-22-
The Company recognizes the financial strain the losses of its VoIP and international initiatives have put on the rest of the business and the manner in which it detracts from the overall value of the Company. We still, however, believe that our VoIP and international initiatives have the potential for long term shareholder value as we have seen revenue growth associated with these services increase by approximately 265% this quarter as compared to the same period last year. Further, we believe that the current market price of our common stock is not an accurate reflection of its true value and that it may take a significant amount of time for these benefits to be realized.
Off balance sheet arrangements
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, or other contingent arrangements that exposes us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations that provide financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We earn a majority of our revenue in U.S. dollars where our primary operating activities are located. We also maintain offices and operate in Brazil, Hong Kong, and the Philippines which creates an exposure to loss if any of those currencies appreciate against the dollar. We believe however, than any risk due to currency rate exchange fluctuations are immaterial as our operations overseas do not represent a majority of our business.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Disclosure controls and procedures
are to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms.
In addition, the evaluation is to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to the Companys management, including Companys principal
executive and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure and that our internal controls are effective to provide
reasonable assurances that our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows are fairly presented in all material respects. Based on that
evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
the period covered by this report, the Companys management, including its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2008
because it has not yet been concluded that the material weaknesses in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting reported as of December 31,
2007 in the Companys Form 10-K/A have been remediated.
Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Company has implemented, or plans to implement, certain measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses and to enhance the Companys internal control over its quarterly and year-end financial reporting processes. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has implemented the following measures:
|
|
Increased the size, expertise and training of the finance and accounting staff to include adequate resources for ensuring GAAP. |
|
|
Enhanced the accounting policies and procedures to provide adequate, sufficient, and useful guidance. |
|
|
Increased the level of interdepartmental communication in a way that will foster information sharing between our finance staff and operational personnel. |
The Company anticipates that these remediation actions represent ongoing improvement measures.
Furthermore, while the Company has taken steps to remediate the material weaknesses, these steps may not be adequate to fully remediate those weaknesses, and additional measures may be required. The Company believes that the identified weaknesses will be fully remediated by its year ended December 31, 2008.

OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 26, 2008, Cordia Corporation, VOzsIP, Corp. and CordiaIP Corp. were named by Plaintiff, Rates Technology, Inc. the holder of two (2) separate US Patents, for patent infringement in the Southern District of New York. The Company was served on July 27, 2008, and filed its Answer and Counterclaims on August 12, 2008. The Company does not believe it infringes on Plaintiffs patents and that Plaintiffs claims are without merit.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Companys Risk Factors as disclosed in its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007 have not changed except for the following:
Intellectual property infringement claims against us could harm our business. Our business activities, service offerings, and related technologies may infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, and these parties may assert infringement claims against us. In the event of litigation to determine the validity of any third-party claims, such litigation could result in significant expense to the Company and could invalidate our proprietary rights. We could be required to enter into royalty and licensing agreements, which may prove costly or otherwise burdensome. Furthermore, such agreements may not be available on terms acceptable to or in the best interests of the Company.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
