C2 GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1 - Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C2 Global Technologies Inc. (formerly Acceris Communications Inc.), and its wholly-owned subsidiary C2 Communications Technologies Inc. (formerly Acceris Communications Technologies Inc.). These entities, on a combined basis, are referred to as “C2”, the “Company”, or “we” in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Our condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which C2 exercises control.

C2 owns certain patents, including two foundational patents in voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology - U.S. Patent Nos. 6,243,373 and 6,438,124 (together the “VoIP Patent Portfolio”), which it seeks to license. Subsequent to the disposition of its Telecommunications business, as discussed in Note 8 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, licensing of intellectual property constitutes the primary business of the Company. C2’s target market consists of carriers, equipment manufacturers, service providers and end users in the internet protocol (“IP”) telephone market who use C2’s patented VoIP technologies by deploying VoIP networks for phone-to-phone communications. The Company has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in licensing agreements with third parties domestically and internationally. At present, no royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company plans to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from its target market by enforcing its patents, with the assistance of outside counsel, in order to realize value from its intellectual property.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Management believes that the unaudited interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The December 31, 2005 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, as included herein, is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The June 30, 2006 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2006.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Net earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of C2 common shares outstanding during the period. Options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive. As the Company has a net loss for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

Potential common shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because they would have been anti-dilutive, are as follows:

	June 30,
	2006		2005

Assumed conversion of Class N preferred stock		24,480		24,720
Assumed conversion of subordinated note payable to a related party		3,805,028		3,481,004
Assumed conversion of convertible note payable		2,673,797		4,512,032
Assumed exercise of options and warrant to purchase shares of common stock		1,699,529		3,022,146
		8,202,834		11,039,902

Investments

Investments are accounted for under the cost method, as the equity securities or the underlying common stock are not readily marketable and the Company’s ownership interests do not allow it to exercise significant influence over the entity. The Company monitors these investments for impairment by considering current factors including economic environment, market conditions, operational performance, and other specific factors relating to the business underlying the investment, and will record impairments in carrying values if appropriate. The fair values of the securities are estimated using the best available information as of the evaluation date, including the quoted market prices of comparable public companies, market price of the common stock underlying the preferred stock, recent financing rounds of the investee, and other investee specific information. Impairments, dividends and realized gains and losses on equity securities are included in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6 for further discussion of the Company’s investment in convertible preferred stock.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates include revenue recognition, purchase accounting (including the ultimate recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived assets), valuation of deferred tax assets, and contingencies surrounding litigation. These policies have the potential to have a significant impact on our financial statements, either because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in nature.

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”) and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). All business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets are recorded based on estimates of fair value at the time of the acquisition.

The Company assesses the fair value of goodwill based upon the fair value of the Company as a whole, with the Company’s valuation being based upon its market capitalization. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the Company’s estimated fair value, goodwill impairment may be present. The Company measures the goodwill impairment loss based upon the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, and estimates the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the Company’s recorded goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that more likely than not would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. No impairment was present upon the performance of these tests in 2005 and 2004. We cannot predict the occurrence of future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill. Such events may include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, judgments on the validity of the Company’s VoIP Patent Portfolio or other factors not known to management at this time.

Regularly, the Company evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying value of its other amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable. When factors indicate an asset may not be recoverable, the Company compares the related future net cash flows to the carrying value of the asset to determine if impairment exists. If the expected future net cash flows are less than carrying value, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

The Company assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, which has been generated by a history of net operating losses, at least annually, and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income. The determination of that allowance includes a projection of the Company’s future taxable income, as well as consideration of any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. On a case by case basis, the Company evaluates the likelihood of possible outcomes for this litigation. Based on this evaluation, the Company determines whether a liability accrual is appropriate. If the likelihood of a negative outcome is probable, and the amount is estimable, the Company accounts for the liability in the current period. A change in the circumstances surrounding any current litigation could have a material impact on the financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FASB No. 48”). FASB No. 48 is intended to reduce the diversity encountered in practice with regard to certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes, and to clarify the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions. FASB No. 48 introduces a new and more comprehensive model of accounting and reporting for a number of tax positions routinely taken by corporations when filing their tax returns. FASB No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the effect of FASB No. 48 on its financial position, operations or cash flows.

Note 3 - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

As a result of our substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, at June 30, 2006 we had a stockholders’ deficit of $78,912 (December 31, 2005 - $77,942) and negative working capital of $79,083 (December 31, 2005 - $78,055). The increase in the working capital deficit during the first six months of 2006 is primarily due to the capitalization of $3,662 of interest on the debt owing to the Company’s majority stockholder, Counsel Corporation (collectively, with its subsidiaries, “Counsel”), advances from Counsel of $1,343, and the use of $882 of restricted cash to reduce third party debt. These were partially offset by the elimination of the $4,512 of liabilities of discontinued operations outstanding at December 31, 2005, due to the disposition of the shares of two of the Company’s subsidiaries during the first six months of 2006, as discussed in Note 8 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The disposition of the shares of WXC Corp. (“WXCC”, formerly known as Acceris Communications Corp.) during the first quarter of 2006 reduced accrued liabilities by $3,763. The disposition of the shares of I-Link Communications Inc. (“ILC”) during the second quarter of 2006 reduced accrued liabilities by $711. Also, during the first six months of 2006, accounts payable and accrued liabilities were paid down by $879. During the first six months of 2006, both continuing and discontinued operations were primarily financed through advances from Counsel.

The Company had gross third party debt of $3,302 at June 30, 2006, a reduction from the $3,516 owed at December 31, 2005. The third party debt is held by Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”), and at June 30, 2006 is comprised of a convertible note payable (the “Note”) in the amount of $2,353 and a warrant to purchase common stock with a fair value of $949. In October 2005, the Company placed $1,800 into a restricted cash account for the benefit of Laurus, which it has been applying toward scheduled monthly payments of the Note. At June 30, 2006, the balance of the restricted cash account was $624. The Note is secured by all the assets of the Company and guaranteed by Counsel through its maturity of October 2007.

Gross related party debt owing to our 91% common stockholder, Counsel, is $78,650 at June 30, 2006 compared to $73,646 at December 31, 2005. Interest on the related party debt is capitalized, at the end of each quarter, and added to the principal amount outstanding. This related party debt matures on December 31, 2006. It is supplemented by a Keep Well agreement from Counsel, which requires Counsel to fund, through long-term intercompany advances or equity contributions, all capital investment, working capital or other operational cash requirements through December 31, 2006. The Company does not expect that the Keep Well will be extended beyond its current maturity.

Counsel, in addition to guaranteeing the Note, has also agreed to subordinate all of its debt owed by the Company, and to subrogate all of its related security interests, in favor of Laurus. Counsel has further agreed to pledge all of its shares owned in C2 as security for the Note. In accordance with the Laurus agreement, C2 cannot repay amounts owing to Counsel while the Note with Laurus remains outstanding. Additionally, so long as C2’s Note to Laurus remains outstanding, Counsel may not, without the written consent of Laurus, take any enforcement action to collect its loans owing by C2. Notwithstanding this, Counsel is not expected to extend the maturity date of its loans beyond December 31, 2006. In the event that C2’s Note to Laurus is either prepaid in full or settled by conversion of such Note into shares of C2, Counsel’s subordination agreement shall be terminated with immediate effect.

The Company has not realized revenues from continuing operations during the last two years, and there is significant doubt about the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to support its operations beyond the December 31, 2006 expiration of the Keep Well from Counsel. Additionally, management believes that the Company does not, at this time, have an ability to obtain additional financing in order to pursue expansion through acquisition. The Company must therefore realize value from its intellectual property, as discussed in Note 1, in order to continue as a going concern. Although the Company has commenced litigation in order to realize this value, there is no certainty that the Company’s litigation will be successful.

Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”), and the Company was required to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and related Interpretations, and requires that all stock-based compensation, including options, be expensed at fair value, as of the grant date, over the vesting period. Companies are required to use an option pricing model (e.g.: Black-Scholes or Binomial) to determine compensation expense, consistent with the model previously used in the already required disclosures of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flow.

At June 30, 2006, the Company has several stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 17 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, under which stock-based employee compensation cost was not reflected in net loss, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company provided footnote disclosure of the pro forma stock-based compensation cost, net loss and net loss per share as if the fair-value based method of expense recognition and measurement prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied to all employee options.

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, C2’s net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 is $28 and $57 more, respectively, than it would have been if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share would be unchanged if the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123(R). The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had no effect on the Company’s Statement of Cash Flows, as there were no exercises of stock options in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and therefore no stock option-related cash flows were generated.

The table below illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to options granted under the Company’s stock option plans in the first six months of 2005:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2005			Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Net loss as reported	$	(8,108	)	$	(16,216	)
Deduct:
Employee stock-based compensation cost determined under the fair value-based method for all awards, net of $0 tax		(59	)		(180	)

Pro forma net loss	$	(8,167	)	$	(16,396	)

Net loss per share, basic and diluted:
As reported	$	(0.42	)	$	(0.84	)
Pro forma	$	(0.42	)	$	(0.85	)

The $57 fair value compensation cost of unvested stock options in the first six months of 2006 was determined using historical Black-Scholes input information at grant dates between 2003 and 2006. These inputs included expected volatility between 79% and 98%, risk-free interest rates between 3.12% and 4.90%, expected terms of 4.75 years, and an expected dividend yield of zero.

As of June 30, 2006, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $195, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 21 months.

The table below presents information regarding all stock options outstanding at June 30, 2006:

	Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2005		727,026		$	37.50

In April 2006, 30,000 options were granted to the Company’s non-employee directors under the terms of the 2003 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan. No options were forfeited or exercised during the six months ending June 30, 2006.

As of June 30, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at June 30, 2006 was $129, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $1.50 as of the last business day of the period ended June 30, 2006. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options. At June 30, 2006, 481,526 of the outstanding options had exercise prices greater than $1.50.

Counsel is the controlling stockholder of the Company and is also the major debt holder of the Company, owning 96% of the Company’s debt as at June 30, 2006. The convertible note payable (the “Note”) and the warrant to purchase common stock are held by Laurus. Counsel has guaranteed the Note through its maturity in October 2007. Counsel has also subordinated its debt position and pledged its ownership interest in C2 in favor of Laurus.

Subordinated notes payable to a related party

The related party subordinated notes payable to Counsel mature on December 31, 2006. They are subject to acceleration in certain circumstances including certain events of default. Interest on related party debt accrues to principal quarterly, and accordingly the Company has no cash payment obligations to Counsel prior to the debt’s maturity. During the first six months of 2006, Counsel advanced $1,343 and accrued interest added to principal was $3,662. Counsel, via a “Keep Well” agreement, has agreed to fund the cash requirements of C2 until December 31, 2006. At this time, the Company does not expect this guarantee will be extended past that date.

In accordance with the Laurus agreement, C2 cannot repay amounts owing to Counsel while the Note with Laurus remains outstanding. Additionally, in accordance with Counsel’s subordination agreement with Laurus, so long as C2’s Note to Laurus remains outstanding, Counsel may not, without the written consent of Laurus, take any enforcement action to collect its loans owing by C2. Notwithstanding this, Counsel is not expected to extend the maturity date of its loans beyond December 31, 2006. In the event that C2’s Note to Laurus is either prepaid in full or settled by conversion of such Note into shares of C2, Counsel’s subordination agreement shall be terminated with immediate effect.

For further discussion of the subordinated notes payable and other transactions with Counsel, see Note 3, above, and Note 10, below.

Convertible note payable to a third party

On October 14, 2004, the Company issued the Note with a detachable warrant to Laurus, in the principal amount of $5,000, due October 14, 2007. The Note provides that the principal amount outstanding bears interest at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus 3% (but not less than 7% per annum) decreasing by 2% (but not less than 0%) for every 25% increase in the Market Price (as defined therein) above the fixed conversion price following the effective date of the registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. At June 30, 2006, the Market Price was 70% above the fixed conversion price, and therefore the interest rate for July 2006 will be decreased by 4%. Principal is payable at the rate of approximately $147 per month, in cash or, in certain circumstances, in registered common stock. In the event the monthly payment must be paid in cash, then the Company pays 102% of the amount due. The Company has the right to prepay the Note at any time by paying 120% of the outstanding principal amount. Laurus may convert the Note, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock at any time. The Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.88 per share of common stock, not to exceed, however, 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Laurus may revoke the 4.99% ownership restriction upon 75 days prior notice to the Company. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock (“EITF 00-19”), at the inception of the Note the Company analyzed the various embedded derivative elements of the debt and concluded that all of the individual elements should be characterized as debt for accounting purposes and that the embedded derivative elements had nominal value. The value of the embedded derivative elements of the debt is reassessed on a quarterly basis on a mark-to-market basis. At June 30, 2006, and on all prior assessment dates, the Company concluded that the value of the embedded derivatives remained nominal. At June 30, 2006, the Note was convertible into 2,673,797 shares of the common stock of the Company.

In connection with the Note, the Company recorded a debt discount of $656, comprising $430 relating to the warrant allocation and $226 of financing costs to Laurus, which was deducted from the amount advanced on closing. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method through a charge to the statement of operations. At June 30, 2006, the amount of the debt discount was $284.

Pursuant to a Master Security Agreement, as amended, entered into in connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company granted a blanket lien on all its property and that of certain of its subsidiaries to secure repayment of the obligation. On September 30, 2005, the Company, in conjunction with the completion of the sale of the Telecommunications business, described in Note 8 of these condensed consolidated financial statements, agreed to modifications to the security interest in the Company held by the Note holder as follows: (a) release of the security interest in the assets being disposed of in the sale of the Telecommunications assets; (b) conversion of the security interest of the Note to the senior debt position; (c) payment of $1,800 into a restricted cash account for the benefit of the Note holder, which the Note holder has been applying toward scheduled monthly payments of the Note. As at June 30, 2006, the balance of the restricted cash account was $624.

Warrant to purchase common stock

In addition to the Note, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to Laurus, entitling Laurus to purchase up to one million shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. The Warrant entitles the holder to purchase the stock through the earlier of (i) October 13, 2009 or (ii) the date on which the average closing price for any consecutive ten trading dates shall equal or exceed 15 times the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall equal $1.00 per share as to the first 250,000 shares, $1.08 per share for the next 250,000 shares and $1.20 per share for the remaining 500,000 shares. The value of the Warrant is reassessed on a quarterly basis on a mark-to-market basis. The Company adjusted the value of the Warrant to $281 at December 31, 2005 and recorded $41 as a credit to interest expense. The Company adjusted the value of the warrant to $949 at June 30, 2006, and recorded $668 as a net debit to interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Note 8 - Discontinued Operations

Disposition of the Telecommunications Business

Commencing in 2001, the Company entered the Telecommunications segment, acquiring certain assets from the estate of WorldxChange Communications Inc. from bankruptcy. In 2002, the Company also acquired certain assets of the estate of RSL.COM USA Inc. from bankruptcy and in 2003 the Company acquired Local Telcom Holdings, LLC. Together, these assets made up the Telecommunications segment of the Company’s business, which was owned through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Acceris Communications Corp. (name changed to WXC Corp. (“WXCC”) in October 2005).

The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2005, to sell substantially all of the assets and to transfer certain liabilities of WXCC to Acceris Management and Acquisition LLC (“AMA”), an arm’s length Minnesota limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of North Central Equity LLC. In addition, on May 19, 2005, the parties executed a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”), Security Agreement, Note, Proxy and Guaranty. Upon receipt of the requisite approvals, including shareholder approval, the transaction was completed on September 30, 2005.

The sale resulted in a gain on disposition of $6,387, net of disposition and business exit costs. In accordance with GAAP, this gain, as well as the Telecommunications operations for the year ended December 31, 2005, have been reported in discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC.

On September 30, 2005, in conjunction with the closing of the asset sale transaction and the expiration of the MSA, referenced above, the Company and AMA entered into a second Management Services Agreement (“MSA2”) under which the Company agreed to continue to provide services in certain states where the Buyer, at closing, had not obtained authorization to provide telecommunications services. At December 31, 2005, AMA had obtained authorization to provide telecommunications services in all states except Hawaii. The authorization to provide services in Hawaii was subsequently obtained on April 5, 2006. For the period October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006, the Company was charged a management fee by the Buyer that was equal to the revenue earned from providing these services. Both the revenue and the management fee were recorded in discontinued operations. The above is a summary description of the MSA2 and by its nature is incomplete.

On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with a third party, which agreed to acquire all the shares of WXCC from the Company, subject to Laurus’s release of its security interest in the shares and to certain other closing requirements. As a result of all closing requirements being completed and Laurus consenting to the release of its security interest on March 28, 2006, the Company was relieved of $3,763 of obligations that had previously been classified as liabilities of discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of $3,645 on the sale, net of closing costs of $118, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

On June 26, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the same third party involved in the purchase of the WXCC shares, which agreed to acquire all the shares of ILC from the Company, subject to certain closing requirements. As a result of all closing requirements being completed as of June 30, 2006, the Company was relieved of $711 of obligations that had previously been classified as liabilities of discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of $665 on the sale, net of closing costs of $46, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Note 9 - Income Taxes

The Company recognized no income tax benefit from its losses in the six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005 because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the related deferred tax asset.

Restrictions in net operating loss carryforwards occurred in 2001 as a result of the acquisition of the Company by Counsel. Further restrictions may have occurred as a result of subsequent changes in the share ownership and capital structure of the Company and Counsel, and disposition of business interests by the Company. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual usage of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, prior to the sale of the Company’s Telecommunications business, was limited to approximately $6,700 per annum until 2008 and $1,700 per annum thereafter as a result of previous cumulative changes of ownership resulting in a change of control of the Company. After the completion of the sale of the Company’s Telecommunications business, the annual usage of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is limited to approximately $2,500 per annum until 2008 and $1,700 per annum thereafter. There is no certainty that the application of these “change in ownership” rules may not reoccur resulting in further restrictions on the Company’s income tax loss carry forwards existing at a particular time. In addition, further restrictions or reductions in net operating loss carryforwards may occur through future merger, acquisition and/or disposition transactions. Any such additional limitations could require the Company to pay income taxes in the future and record an income tax expense to the extent of such liability despite the existence of net operating loss carryforwards.

In the first quarter of 2006, as discussed in Note 4, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R). The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) has as yet had no impact from an income tax perspective, since SFAS No. 123(R) specifically prohibits the recognition of any windfall tax benefits that have not been realized in cash or in the form of a reduction of income taxes payable.

Note 10 - Related Party Transactions

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, Counsel advanced $466 and $1,343, respectively, and converted $1,866 and $3,662, respectively, of interest payable to principal. All loans from Counsel mature on December 31, 2006 and accrue interest at rates ranging from 9% to 10%, with interest compounding quarterly. Some of the loans are subject to an accelerated maturity in certain circumstances. At September 30, 2005, the closing of the sale of the Telecommunications business, which is discussed in more detail in Note 8 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, invoked the accelerated provisions of these loans. Counsel, in conjunction with the sale, waived the acceleration rights invoked by virtue of the sale and continues to retain its acceleration rights related to future events. The loans to Counsel are supplemented by Counsel’s Keep Well agreement, which matures December 31, 2006. The Keep Well requires Counsel to fund, through long-term intercompany advances or equity contributions, all capital investment, working capital or other operational cash requirements.

Allan Silber, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of C2, is an employee of Counsel. As CEO of C2, he is entitled to an annual salary of $138, plus a discretionary bonus of 100% of the base salary. No bonus was paid for the year ended December 31, 2005. Such compensation is expensed and paid by C2.

In December 2004, C2 entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Counsel. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to make payment to Counsel for the past and future services to be provided to the Company by certain Counsel personnel for the calendar years of 2004 and 2005. The basis for such services charged was an allocation, on a cost basis, based on time incurred, of the base compensation paid by Counsel to those employees providing services to the Company. In December 2005, C2 entered into a similar agreement with Counsel for services to be provided by Counsel in 2006, with the allocation determined on the same basis as the Agreement. For the first six months of 2006, the cost was $113, as compared to $225 for the first six months of 2005. In accordance with the terms of the Laurus Note, described above, amounts owing to Counsel cannot be repaid while amounts remain owing under the Note. The amounts due under the Agreement are payable within 30 days following the respective year end, subject to applicable restrictions. Any unpaid fee amounts bear interest at 10% per annum commencing on the day after such year end. In the event of a change of control, merger or similar event of the Company, all amounts owing, including fees incurred up to the date of the event, will become due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such event.

Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On April 16, 2004, certain stockholders of the Company (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a putative derivative complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego (the “Complaint”) against the Company, WorldxChange Corporation (sic), Counsel Communications LLC, and Counsel Corporation as well as four present and former officers and directors of the Company, some of whom also are or were directors and/or officers of the other corporate defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants, in their respective roles as controlling stockholder and directors and officers of the Company committed breaches of the fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith and were unjustly enriched, and that the individual Defendants committed waste of corporate assets, abuse of control and gross mismanagement. The Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, restitution, disgorgement of allegedly unlawful profits, benefits and other compensation, attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with the Complaint. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend this action. There is no assurance that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor and an unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

The Company, Counsel Communications LLC, Counsel Corporation and four of its current and former executives and board members were named in a securities action filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego (the “Court”) on April 16, 2004, in which the plaintiffs made claims nearly identical to those set forth in the Complaint in the derivative suit described above. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this action. There is no assurance that this matter will be resolved in the Company’s favor and an unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In February 2006, the plaintiffs in both this action and the derivative action described above changed attorneys. In June 2006, a trial date of March 9, 2007 was set for both actions.

At our Adjourned Meeting of Stockholders held on December 30, 2003, our stockholders, among other things, approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, deleting Article VI thereof (regarding liquidations, reorganizations, mergers and the like). Stockholders who were entitled to vote at the meeting and advised us in writing, prior to the vote on the amendment, that they dissented and intended to demand payment for their shares if the amendment was effectuated, were entitled to exercise their appraisal rights and obtain payment in cash for their shares under Sections 607.1301 - 607.1333 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “Florida Act”), provided their shares were not voted in favor of the amendment. In January 2004, we sent appraisal notices in compliance with Florida corporate statutes to all stockholders who had advised us of their intention to exercise their appraisal rights. The appraisal notices included our estimate of fair value of our shares, at $4.00 per share on a post-split basis. These stockholders had until February 29, 2004 to return their completed appraisal notices along with certificates for the shares for which they were exercising their appraisal rights. Approximately 33 stockholders holding approximately 74,000 shares of our stock returned completed appraisal notices by February 29, 2004. A stockholder of 20 shares notified us of his acceptance of our offer of $4.00 per share, while the stockholders of the remaining shares did not accept our offer. Subject to the qualification that, in accordance with the Florida Act, we may not make any payment to a stockholder seeking appraisal rights if, at the time of payment, our total assets are less than our total liabilities, stockholders who accepted our offer to purchase their shares at the estimated fair value will be paid for their shares within 90 days of our receipt of a duly executed appraisal notice. If we should be required to make any payments to dissenting stockholders, Counsel will fund any such amounts through advances to C2. Stockholders who did not accept our offer were required to indicate their own estimate of fair value, and if we do not agree with such estimates, the parties are required to go to court for an appraisal proceeding on an individual basis, in order to establish fair value. Because we did not agree with the estimates submitted by most of the dissenting stockholders, we have sought a judicial determination of the fair value of the common stock held by the dissenting stockholders. On June 24, 2004, we filed suit against the dissenting stockholders seeking a declaratory judgment, appraisal and other relief in the Circuit Court for the 17^th Judicial District in Broward County, Florida. On February 4, 2005, the declaratory judgment action was stayed pending the resolution of the direct and derivative lawsuits filed in California. This decision was made by the judge in the Florida declaratory judgment action due to the similar nature of certain allegations brought by the defendants in the declaratory judgment matter and the California lawsuits described above. On March 7, 2005, the dissenting shareholders appealed the decision of the District Court judge to the Fourth District Court of Appeals for the State of Florida, which denied the appeal on June 21, 2005. When the declaratory judgment matter resumes, there is no assurance that this matter will be resolved in our favor and an unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In connection with the Company’s efforts to enforce its patent rights, C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on June 15, 2006. The complaint alleges that the above companies’ VoIP services and systems infringe the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System.” The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages and costs. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this litigation.

The Company is involved in various other legal matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, none of which are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere herein, and in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All amounts are in thousands of dollars except for share and per share data.

Overview and Recent Developments

C2 Global Technologies Inc. (“C2” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida in 1983 under the name “MedCross, Inc.” which was changed to “I-Link Incorporated” in 1997 and to “Acceris Communications Inc.” in 2003. Subsequent to the receipt of shareholder approval of the proposed name change at the 2005 Annual Shareholder Meeting held on August 5, 2005, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect the name change from “Acceris Communications Inc.” to “C2 Global Technologies Inc.” The new name reflects a change in the strategic direction of the Company in light of the disposition of its Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005, as discussed below.

C2 owns certain patents, detailed below under “Company History” and “Intellectual Property”, including two foundational patents in voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology - U.S. Patent Nos. 6,243,373 and 6,438,124 (together the “VoIP Patent Portfolio”), which it seeks to license. Subsequent to the disposition of its Telecommunications business, licensing of intellectual property constitutes the primary business of the Company. C2’s target market consists of carriers, equipment manufacturers, service providers and end users in the internet protocol (“IP”) telephone market who are using C2’s patented VoIP technologies by deploying VoIP networks for phone-to-phone communications. The Company has engaged, and intends to engage, in licensing agreements with third parties domestically and internationally. At present, no royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company plans to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from its target market by enforcing its patents, with the assistance of outside counsel, in order to realize value from its intellectual property. In this regard, in the third quarter of 2005, the Company retained legal counsel with expertise in the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

On March 17, 2006, ongoing litigation between C2 and ITXC Corp. (“ITXC”) was terminated as a result of the Court approving a Consent Order whereby all claims and counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice as a result of C2’s covenanting not to sue ITXC. The Consent Order was not based on the determination of the merits of any issue in the lawsuits. The litigation had commenced in April 2004. The termination of the litigation allows C2 to pursue other options to realize value from its intellectual property.

In the second quarter of 2006, the Company opened an office in Texas.

On June 15, 2006, C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc., Bellsouth Corporation, Sprint Nextel Corporation, Global Crossing Limited, and Level 3 Communications, Inc. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and alleges that the defendants’ services and systems utilizing VoIP infringe C2’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”. The complaint seeks an injunction, monetary damages, and costs.

Company History

In 1994, we began operating as an Internet service provider and quickly identified that the emerging IP environment was a promising basis for enhanced service delivery. We soon turned to designing and building an IP telecommunications platform consisting of proprietary software, hardware and leased telecommunications lines. The goal was to create a platform with the quality and reliability necessary for voice transmission.

In 1997, we began offering enhanced services over a mixed IP-and-circuit-switched network platform. These services offered a blend of traditional and enhanced communication services and combined the inherent cost advantages of an IP-based network with the reliability of the existing Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”).

In August 1997, we acquired MiBridge, Inc. (“MiBridge”), a communications technology company engaged in the design, development, integration and marketing of a range of software telecommunications products that support multimedia communications over the PSTN, local area networks (“LANs”) and IP networks. The acquisition of MiBridge permitted us to accelerate the development and deployment of IP technology across our network platform.

In 1998, we first deployed our real-time IP communications network platform. With this new platform, all core operating functions such as switching, routing and media control became software-driven. This new platform represented the first nationwide, commercially viable VoIP platform of its kind. Following the launch of our software-defined VoIP platform in 1998, we continued to refine and enhance the platform to make it even more efficient and capable for our partners and customers.

In 2002, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a patent (No. 6,438,124, the “C2 Patent”) for the Company’s Voice Internet Transmission System. Filed in 1996, the C2 Patent reflects foundational thinking, application, and practice in the VoIP Services market. The C2 Patent encompasses the technology that allows two parties to converse phone-to-phone, regardless of the distance, by transmitting voice/sound via the Internet. No special telephone or computer is required at either end of the call. The apparatus that makes this technically possible is a system of Internet access nodes, or Voice Engines (VoIP Gateways). These local Internet Voice Engines provide digitized, compressed, and encrypted duplex or simplex Internet voice/sound. The end result is a high-quality calling experience whereby the Internet serves only as the transport medium and as such, can lead to reduced toll charges. Shortly after the issuance of our core C2 Patent, we disposed of our domestic U.S. VoIP network in a transaction with Buyers United, Inc. (“BUI”), which closed on May 1, 2003. The sale included the physical assets required to operate our nationwide network using our patented VoIP technology (constituting the core business of the I-Link Communications Inc. (“ILC”) business) and included a fully paid non-exclusive perpetual license to our proprietary software-based network convergence solution for voice and data. The sale of the ILC business removed essentially all operations that did not pertain to our proprietary software-based convergence solution for voice and data. As part of the sale, we retained all of our intellectual property rights and patents.

In 2003, we added to our VoIP patent holdings when we acquired U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373 (the “VoIP Patent”), which included a corresponding foreign patent and related international patent applications. The VoIP Patent, together with the existing C2 Patent and its related international patent applications, form our international VoIP Patent Portfolio that covers the basic process and technology that enables VoIP communication as it is used in the market today. Telecommunications companies that enable their customers to originate a phone call on a traditional handset, transmit any part of that call via IP, and then terminate the call over the traditional telephone network, are utilizing C2’s patented technology.

The comprehensive nature of the VoIP Patent, which is titled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”, is summarized in the patent’s abstract, which, in pertinent part, describes the technology as follows: “A method and apparatus are provided for communicating audio information over a computer network. A standard telephone connected to the PSTN may be used to communicate with any other PSTN-connected telephone, where a computer network, such as the Internet, is the transmission facility instead of conventional telephone transmission facilities.” As part of the consideration for the acquisition of the VoIP Patent, we agreed to give the vendor 35% of the net earnings from our VoIP Patent Portfolio.

Revenue and contributions from Technologies operations up to December 31, 2004 were based on the sales and deployment of our VoIP solutions, which we ceased directly marketing in 2005, rather than on the receipt of licensing fees and royalties. We expect to generate licensing and royalty revenue in this business as we gain recognition of the underlying value in our VoIP Patent Portfolio through the enforcement of our intellectual property rights, as discussed above under “Overview and Recent Developments”.

The Company has conducted its own research and development activities related to its patents, investing $442 and $389 in 2004 and 2005, respectively. The Company suspended its investment in research and development in the third quarter of 2005 in conjunction with its decision to focus all business efforts on the realization of licensing fees associated with its intellectual property.

At the end of September 2005, C2 entered into a 12-year royalty agreement with a company controlled by an employee, in exchange for a loan of $140, with repayment contingent upon future royalties. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2005, C2 contracted for continued consulting services from the employee until April 30, 2006. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no royalties have been received by the Company. At the end of September 2005, due to the uncertainty of any future economic benefits, the Company expensed the loan.

Intellectual property

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company was awarded patents for the VoIP Patent from the People’s Republic of China and in Canada, and also received a Notice of Allowance in Canada for the C2 Patent. In addition to the C2 and VoIP Patents, which cover the foundation of any VoIP system, our patent portfolio includes:

Private IP Communication Network Architecture (Pending) - A disclosed Internet Linked Network Architecture delivers telecommunication type services across a network utilizing digital technology. The unique breadth and flexibility of telecommunication services offered by the Internet Linked Network Architecture flow directly from the network over which they are delivered and the underlying design principles and architectural decisions employed during its creation.

C2 also owns intellectual property that solves teleconferencing problems:

Delay Synchronization in Compressed Audio Systems - This invention eliminates popping and clicking when switching between parties in a communications conferencing system employing signal compression techniques to reduce bandwidth requirements.

Volume Control Arrangement for Compressed Information Signals - This invention allows for modifying amplitude, frequency or phase characteristics of an audio or video signal in a compressed signal system without altering the encoder or decoder employed by each conferee in a conferencing setting, so that individuals on the conference call can each adjust their own gain levels without signal degradation.

Below is a summary of the Company’s issued and pending patents:

Disposition of the Telecommunications Business

On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with a third party, which agreed to acquire all the shares of WXCC from the Company, subject to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.’s (“Laurus”) release of its security interest in the shares and to certain other closing requirements. As a result of all closing requirements being completed and Laurus consenting to the release of its security interest on March 28, 2006, the Company was relieved of $3,763 of obligations that had previously been classified as liabilities of discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of $3,645 on the sale, net of closing costs of $118, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

On June 26, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the same third party involved in the purchase of the WXCC shares, which agreed to acquire all the shares of ILC from the Company, subject to certain closing requirements. As a result of all closing requirements being completed as of June 30, 2006, the Company was relieved of $711 of obligations that had previously been classified as liabilities of discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of $665 on the sale, net of closing costs of $46, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Industry

Historically, the communications services industry has transmitted voice and data over separate networks using different technologies. Traditional carriers have typically built telephone networks based on circuit switching technology, which establishes and maintains a dedicated path for each telephone call until the call is terminated.

The communications services industry continues to evolve, both domestically and internationally, providing significant opportunities and risks to the participants in these markets. Factors that have been driving this change include:

·	entry of new competitors and investment of substantial capital in existing and new services, resulting in significant price competition

·	technological advances resulting in a proliferation of new services and products and rapid increases in network capacity

·	The Telecommunications Act of 1996, as amended (“1996 Act”); and

·	growing deregulation of communications services markets in the United States and in selected countries around the world

VoIP is a technology that can replace the traditional telephone network. This type of data network is more efficient than a dedicated circuit network because the data network is not restricted by the one-call, one-line limitation of a traditional telephone network. This improved efficiency creates cost savings that can be either passed on to the consumer in the form of lower rates or retained by the VoIP provider. In addition, VoIP technology enables the provision of enhanced services such as unified messaging.

Competition

We are seeking to have telecommunications service providers (“TSPs”) and equipment suppliers (“ESs”) and end users license our patents. In this regard, our competition is existing technology, outside the scope of our patents, which allows TSPs and ESs to deliver communication services to their customers.

VoIP is becoming a widespread and accepted telecommunications technology, with a variety of applications in the telecommunications and other industries. While we and many others believe that we will see the proliferation of this technology in the coming years, and while we believe that this proliferation will occur within the context of our patents, there is no certainty that this will occur and that it will occur in a manner that requires organizations to license our patents.

Government Regulation

As a result of, and subsequent to, the disposition of our Telecommunications business, we are no longer subject to various regulatory requirements, at the federal, state and local levels, which were applicable to our operations in prior years.

Recent legislation in the United States including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has increased regulatory and compliance costs as well as the scope and cost of work provided to us by our independent registered public accountants and legal advisors. Based on the current timetable, the Company will be subject to Section 404 reporting in 2007. As implementation guidelines continue to evolve, we expect to incur costs, which may or may not be material, in order to comply with legislative requirements or rules, pronouncements and guidelines by regulatory bodies, thereby reducing profitability.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to intangible assets, contingencies, collectibility of receivables and litigation. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. To aid in the understanding of our financial reporting, a summary of significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These policies have the potential to have a significant impact on our financial statements, either because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in nature.

Stock-Based Compensation

Contractual Obligations

We have no contractual commitments other than our debt. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations, including estimated interest payable, as of June 30, 2006:

	Payment due by period
Contractual obligations:	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Subordinated notes payable to a related party	$	82,528	$	82,528	$	—	$	—	$	—
Convertible note payable to a third party		2,584		1,978		606		—		—
Warrant to purchase common stock¹		949		—		—		949		—
Total	$	86,061	$	84,506	$	606	$	949	$	—

¹ The warrant is reported at fair value, as determined at the end of each quarter.

Counsel Corporation (collectively, with its subsidiaries “Counsel”) is the controlling stockholder of the Company and is also the major debt holder of the Company, owning 96% of the Company’s debt as at June 30, 2006. The convertible note payable (the “Note”) and the warrant to purchase common stock are held by Laurus. Counsel has guaranteed the Note through its maturity in October 2007. Counsel has also subordinated its debt position and pledged its ownership interest in C2 in favor of Laurus.

Management’s Discussion of Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a result of our substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, at June 30, 2006 we had a stockholders’ deficit of $78,912 (December 31, 2005 - $77,942) and negative working capital of $79,083 (December 31, 2005 - $78,055). The increase in the working capital deficit during the first six months of 2006 is primarily due to the capitalization of $3,662 of interest on the debt owing to the Company’s majority stockholder, Counsel Corporation (collectively, with its subsidiaries, “Counsel”), advances from Counsel of $1,343, and the use of $882 of restricted cash to reduce third party debt. These were partially offset by the elimination of the $4,512 of liabilities of discontinued operations outstanding at December 31, 2005, due to the disposition of the shares of two of the Company’s subsidiaries during the first six months of 2006, as discussed in Note 8 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report. The disposition of the shares of WXC Corp. (“WXCC”, formerly known as Acceris Communications Corp.) during the first quarter of 2006 reduced accrued liabilities by $3,763. The disposition of the shares of I-Link Communications Inc. (“ILC”) during the second quarter of 2006 reduced accrued liabilities by $711. Also, during the first six months of 2006, accounts payable and accrued liabilities were paid down by $879. During the first six months of 2006, both continuing and discontinued operations were primarily financed through advances from Counsel.

The Company has not realized revenues from continuing operations during the last two years, and there is significant doubt about the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to support its operations beyond the December 31, 2006 expiration of the Keep Well from Counsel. Additionally, management believes that the Company does not, at this time, have an ability to obtain additional financing in order to pursue expansion through acquisition. The Company must therefore realize value from its intellectual property, as discussed above, in order to continue as a going concern. Although the Company has commenced litigation in order to realize this value, there is no certainty that the Company’s litigation will be successful. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

A summary of the Company’s outstanding debt, including a related common stock warrant, is as follows:

			June 30, 2006							December 31, 2005
	Maturity Date		Gross debt		Discounts (1)			Reported debt		Gross debt		Discounts (1)			Reported debt
Convertible note payable		October 14, 2007	$	2,353	$	(284	)	$	2,069	$	3,235	$	(392	)	$	2,843

Subordinated notes payable to a related party		December 31, 2006		78,650		(1,525	)		77,125		73,646		(1,624	)		72,022

Warrant to purchase common stock		October 13, 2009		949		—			949		281		—			281

Total outstanding debt			$	81,952	$	(1,809	)	$	80,143	$	77,162	$	(2,016	)	$	75,146

Working Capital

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2006 were $634 compared to $1,833 at December 31, 2005.

Our working capital deficit increased $1,028 to $79,083 as of June 30, 2006, from $78,055 as of December 31, 2005. The disposition of the WXCC and ILC stock reduced discontinued liabilities by $3,763 and $711, respectively, as discussed above. However, this was offset by advances from Counsel of $1,343 and the capitalization of $3,662 interest on debt owing to Counsel. As well, the balance of the restricted cash account decreased by $882 due to principal payments on the debt owing to Laurus. The Company’s capital resources (due to the Counsel Keep Well) are adequate to finance our operations until December 31, 2006. However, the Company’s long-term viability is dependent upon successful pursuit of licensing arrangements and/or the ability to raise additional funds to meet its business objectives.

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash used in operating activities (excluding discontinued operations) during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,499, as compared to cash used of $2,215 during the same period in 2005. The Company’s loss from continuing operations was $6,186 in 2006 compared to $8,445 in 2005, a decrease of $2,259. The reduction is primarily due to a reduction in the scale of the operations of the business, resulting in a decrease of $1,547 in operating expenses in 2006 as compared to 2005, and $115 more other income in 2006 compared to 2005.

An increase of $817 in interest added to related party debt was offset by a reduction of $2,199 in amortization of debt discounts. Accounts payable decreased by $879 in the first six months of 2006, but increased by $297 during the first six months of 2005. The use of cash to reduce accounts payable was primarily to pay legal and accounting accruals, as well as sales tax accruals related to the disposition of the Telecommunications business in September 2005.

Cash flows from investing activities

No net cash was provided or used by investing activities of continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005.

Cash flows from financing activities

Financing activities (excluding discontinued operations) provided net cash of $1,343 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $9,179 for the same period in 2005. The decrease is primarily due to Counsel having to advance only $1,343 in the first half of 2006, compared to $10,211 in the first half of 2005. Following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in September 2005, the Company’s cash requirements have substantially decreased.

Payment of third party notes payable during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $882 compared to $1,032 in the same period in 2005. In June 2005, two principal payments were made as compared to only one in June 2006. In the third quarter of 2005, the Company placed $1,800 into a restricted account in favor of the convertible note holder, as replacement security for the security released in conjunction with the disposition of the Telecommunication operations. The convertible note holder is applying these restricted funds to the monthly principal payments due on the convertible note; consequently, the payments made in 2006 have not required the Company to use its non-segregated cash.

Management’s Discussion of Results of Operations

Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2005

In order to more fully understand the comparison of the results of continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, it is important to note the significant change that occurred in 2005. On May 19, 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets, and to transfer certain liabilities, of WXCC to Acceris Management and Acquisition LLC, an unrelated third party. The sale closed on September 30, 2005. In accordance with GAAP, the operational results related to WXCC were reclassified as discontinued operations in 2005 and prior years, and accordingly are not included in the following analysis of continuing operations.

Technologies revenue is derived from licensing and related services revenue. Prior to 2005, revenue and contributions from this business were based on the sales and deployments of our VoIP solutions, which we are no longer directly marketing, rather than on the receipt of licensing fees and royalties. The timing and sizing of various projects resulted in a continued pattern of fluctuating financial results.

We expect to generate licensing and royalty revenue in our Technologies business as we gain recognition of the underlying value in our VoIP Patent Portfolio through the enforcement of our intellectual property rights. Our VoIP Patent Portfolio is an international patent portfolio covering the basic process and technology that enables VoIP communications. At present, no royalties are being paid to the Company. The Company plans to obtain licensing and royalty revenue from its target market by enforcing its patents, with the assistance of outside counsel, in order to realize value from its intellectual property. In this regard, in the third quarter of 2005, the Company retained legal counsel with expertise in the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

In connection with the 2003 acquisition of U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, the Company agreed to remit, to the former owner of the patent, 35% of the net proceeds from future revenue derived from the licensing of the VoIP Patent Portfolio, composed of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,243,373 and 6,438,124. Net proceeds are defined as revenue from licensing the VoIP Patent Portfolio less costs necessary to obtain the licensing arrangement. To date, no payments have been made to the former owner of the patent. As we earn patent licensing revenues, we expect to incur the associated costs.

Selling, general, administrative and other expense was $351 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $1,155 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The significant changes included:

Compensation expense was $70 in the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $69 in the second quarter of 2005. The quarterly salary earned by the CEO of C2 was reduced from $69 to $34, effective July 1, 2005, reflecting the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the sale of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005. Salary expense for the Company’s technologies employees was $8 in the second quarter of 2006. The corresponding compensation expense in the second quarter of 2005 was included in research and development expense. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), as discussed above, which resulted in $28 of compensation expense in the second quarter of 2006.

Legal expenses in the second quarter of 2006 were $38, as compared to $614 in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily related to the termination, on March 17, 2006, of the Company’s litigation with ITXC for patent infringement. Also, there was less activity associated with the direct and derivative actions against the Company.

·	Accounting and tax consulting expenses were $129 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $67 in the second quarter of 2005.

·	Fees paid to the members of our Board of Directors were $25 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $32 in the second quarter of 2005. Fewer meetings were held in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005.

·	Travel and entertainment expenses were $7 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $122 in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease reflects the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

·	Consulting expense was $0 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $107 in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease reflects the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

Management fees charged by our controlling stockholder, Counsel, were $56 in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $113 in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease reflects the reduced requirement for services of Counsel personnel following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

Research and development costs - The Company suspended its investment in research and development in the third quarter of 2005 in conjunction with its decision to focus all business efforts on the realization of licensing fees associated with its intellectual property, and consequently incurred no related costs in the second quarter of 2006. Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2005 were $151.

Depreciation and amortization - This expense was $5 in the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $9 during the second quarter of 2005. Amortization of the Company’s patent rights was $5 in both 2006 and 2005. The additional $4 expense in 2005 relates to depreciation on fixed assets that were disposed of in the third quarter of 2005.

The changes in other income (expense) are primarily related to the following:

Interest expense - Related party interest expense totaled $2,308 in the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $3,463 in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease of $1,155 is the net effect of two factors. Interest expense increased by $356 due to increases in the debt due to Counsel. This increase was offset by a decrease of $1,511 in the quarterly amortization of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the related party’s ability to convert its debt to equity. Included in related party interest expense in the second quarter of 2006 is $441 of amortization of the BCF, on $19,101 of debt convertible at $5.02 per share. In the second quarter of 2005, amortization of the BCF was $1,953 on $17,475 of debt convertible at $5.02 per share.

Third party interest expense totaled $901 in the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $46 in the second quarter of 2005. All of the expense is related to the convertible note payable to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. In 2006, the combined interest expense and discount amortization were $155, and the Company recorded an additional expense of $746 as a mark to market adjustment on the related warrant to purchase common stock. In 2005, the interest expense and discount amortization totaled $177, offset by a mark to market adjustment of $131.

Other income - In the second quarter of 2006, other income totaled $113, as compared to $1 during the second quarter of 2005. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company entered into settlement agreements with certain carriers, which resulted in the recovery of $110 of receivables that were fully reserved against when acquired in 2001 as part of the acquisition of the assets of WorldxChange Communications Inc. from bankruptcy. The remaining income in 2006 consisted of interest earned on cash deposits.

Discontinued operations - In the second quarter of 2006, the Company reported income of $659 from discontinued operations (net of tax of $0), as compared to a loss of $3,285 (net of tax of $0) reported in the second quarter of 2005. The 2006 income consists of a $6 loss related to Telecommunications operations for the quarter, and the $665 gain recognized on the sale of the shares of ILC, as discussed above. The 2005 loss consists solely of the operations of the Telecommunications segment during the second quarter of 2005.

Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2005

In order to more fully understand the comparison of the results of continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, it is important to note the significant change that occurred in 2005. On May 19, 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets, and to transfer certain liabilities, of WXCC to Acceris Management and Acquisition LLC, an unrelated third party. The sale closed on September 30, 2005. In accordance with GAAP, the operational results related to WXCC were reclassified as discontinued operations in 2005 and prior years, and accordingly are not included in the following analysis of continuing operations.

Selling, general, administrative and other expense was $741 during the first six months of 2006 as compared to $1,987 for the first six months of 2005. The significant changes included:

Compensation expense was $83 in the first half of 2006, as compared to $138 in the first half of 2005. The quarterly salary earned by the CEO of C2 was reduced from $69 to $34, effective July 1, 2005, reflecting the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the sale of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company reversed $69 of bonus expense that was accrued during 2005, but was subsequently determined not to be warranted. Salary expense for the Company’s technologies employees was $27 in the first half of 2006. The corresponding compensation expense in the first half of 2005 was included in research and development expense. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), as discussed above, which resulted in $57 of compensation expense during the first six months of 2006.

Legal expenses in the first half of 2006 were $133, as compared to $919 in the first half of 2005. The decrease was primarily related to a lower level of activity in the Company’s litigation with ITXC for patent infringement, which litigation was terminated on March 17, 2006. Also, in 2006 there was less activity associated with the direct and derivative actions against the Company.

·	Accounting and tax consulting expenses were $234 in the first half of 2006 compared to $136 in the first half of 2005.

Fees paid to the members of our Board of Directors were $51 in the first half of 2006 compared to $114 in the first half of 2005. The Board was reduced from eight members to four members at the end of the first quarter of 2005. As well, there were fewer meetings held in the first half of 2006 as compared to the first half of 2005.

·	Travel and entertainment expenses were $13 in the first half of 2006 compared to $172 in the first half of 2005. The decrease reflects the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

·	Directors and officers insurance expense was $75 in the first half of 2006 compared to $100 in the first half of 2005. The decrease reflects the reduced complexity of the business following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

·	Consulting expense was $0 in the first half of 2006 compared to $134 in the first half of 2005. The decrease reflects the reduced complexity of the Company’s operations following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

Management fees charged by our controlling stockholder, Counsel, were $113 in the first half of 2006, compared to $225 in the first half of 2005. The decrease reflects the reduced requirement for services of Counsel personnel following the disposition of the Telecommunications business in the third quarter of 2005.

Research and development costs - The Company suspended its investment in research and development in the third quarter of 2005 in conjunction with its decision to focus all business efforts on the realization of licensing fees associated with its intellectual property, and consequently incurred no related costs in the first half of 2006. Research and development expenses in the first half of 2005 were $301.

Depreciation and amortization - This expense was $10 in the first half of 2006, as compared to $18 during the first half of 2005. Amortization of the Company’s patent rights was $10 in both 2006 and 2005. The additional $8 expense in 2005 relates to depreciation on fixed assets that were disposed of in the third quarter of 2005.

The changes in other income (expense) are primarily related to the following:

Interest expense - Related party interest expense totaled $4,568 in the first half of 2006, as compared to $5,950 in the first half of 2005. The decrease of $1,382 is the net effect of two factors. Interest expense increased by $817 due to increases in the debt due to Counsel. This increase was offset by a decrease of $2,199 in the quarterly amortization of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the related party’s ability to convert its debt to equity. Included in related party interest expense in the first half of 2006 is $906 of amortization of the BCF, on $19,101 of debt convertible at $5.02 per share. In the first half of 2005, amortization of the BCF was $3,105 on $17,475 of debt convertible at $5.02 per share.

Third party interest expense totaled $983 in the first half of 2006, as compared to $190 in the first half of 2005. All of the expense is related to the convertible note payable to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. In 2006, the combined interest expense and discount amortization were $315, and the Company recorded an additional expense of $668 as a mark to market adjustment on the related warrant to purchase common stock. In 2005, the interest expense and discount amortization totaled $357, offset by a mark to market adjustment of $167.

Other income - In the first half of 2006, other income totaled $116, as compared to $1 during the first half of 2005. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company entered into settlement agreements with certain carriers, which resulted in the recovery of $110 of receivables that were fully reserved against when acquired in 2001 as part of the acquisition of the assets of WorldxChange Communications Inc. from bankruptcy. The remaining income in 2006 primarily consisted of interest earned on cash deposits.

Discontinued operations - In the first half of 2006, the Company reported income of $4,351 from discontinued operations (net of tax of $0), as compared to a loss of $7,771 (net of tax of $0) reported in the first half of 2005. The 2006 income consists of $41 income related to Telecommunications operations for the six-month period, and the $4,310 total gains recognized on the sale of the shares of WXCC and ILC, as discussed above. The 2005 loss consists solely of the operations of the Telecommunications segment during the first six months of 2005.

Inflation. Inflation did not have a significant impact on our results during the last fiscal quarter.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions. The Company has not engaged in material off-balance sheet transactions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our exposure to market risk is limited to interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of United States interest rates. Due to the minimal amount of cash and cash equivalents, we believe that we are not subject to any material interest rate risk as it relates to interest income. As to interest expense, we have one debt instrument that has a variable interest rate. Our variable interest rate convertible note provides that the principal amount outstanding bears interest at the prime rate as published in the Wall St. Journal (“WSJ interest rate”, 8.25% at June 30, 2006) plus 3% (but not less than 7.0% in total), decreasing by 2% (but not less than 0%) for every 25% increase in the Market Price (as defined therein) above the fixed conversion price of $0.88 following the effective date (January 18, 2005) of the registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion. Assuming the debt amount on the variable interest rate convertible note at June 30, 2006 was constant during the next twelve-month period, and the Market Price was less than the fixed conversion price, the impact of a one percent increase in the interest rate would be an increase in interest expense of approximately $24 for that twelve-month period. In respect of the variable interest rate convertible note, should the price of the Company’s common stock increase and maintain a price equal to 125% of $0.88 for a twelve month period, the Company would benefit from a reduced interest rate of 2%, resulting in lower interest costs of up to approximately $48 for that twelve-month period. At June 30, 2006, the Market Price was 70% above the fixed conversion price, and consequently the Company expects its interest expense for the month of July 2006 to be reduced by approximately $8. We do not believe that we are subject to material market risk on our fixed rate debt with Counsel in the near term.

We did not have any foreign currency hedges or other derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2006. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments. Our operations are conducted primarily in the United States and as such are not subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Certifying Officers”) conducted evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Further, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the second fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
