Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Description of
Business
Cognigen
Networks, Inc. (“Cognigen or the Company”) was incorporated in May 1983 in the
State of Colorado. The Company markets and sells services and
products through commission-based marketing agents who use the Internet as a
platform to provide customers and subscribers with a variety of
telecommunications and technology-based products and
services. Historically, the Company has generated revenues in two
ways. First, the Company has generated marketing commission revenues
from vendors who are represented on web sites operated by independent agents of
the Company and for whom the Company sells products and services via contractual
agreements. Generally, the Company enters into contractual agreements
with these vendors, who pay the Company commissions based on the volume of
products and services sold by the Company’s independent sales
agents. The Company then pays a portion of those commission revenues
to the independent sales agents responsible for making the sales upon which the
commissions were based. A significant portion of the Company’s marketing
commission revenues is attributable to the sale of domestic and international
long distance services; however, the Company also generates marketing
commission revenues from the sale of prepaid calling cards/pins and paging,
wireless communications, computers and Internet-based telecommunications
products.
Second,
the Company has also generated revenues from sales of proprietary products and
services. Generally, the Company has acquired or developed these
proprietary products and services with the intention of marketing such products
and services through the Company’s independent agent network. These
products and services have included long distance telecommunication services,
online shopping websites and broadband voice, data, video and management
communication and control support services. Most of these products
have been sold by the Company’s independent agents, and the Company has
generally paid commissions to its agents based on the dollar volume of products
sold.
Note 2 – Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
accounts of Cognigen Networks, Inc. and its subsidiaries, LowestCostMall.com
(“LCM”) and Cognigen Business Systems, Inc. (“CBSi”), both of which are treated
as discontinued operations (see Note 3). All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, have been made to (a) the unaudited consolidated
statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007
and 2006, respectively, (b) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2007 and (c) the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows
for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in order to
make the unaudited consolidated financial statements not
misleading.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for financial statements. For further information, refer
to the audited consolidated financial statements
5
COGNIGEN
NETWORKS, INC.
and notes
thereto for the year ended June 30, 2007, included in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as
amended by Amendments No. 1 and No. 2 on Forms 10-KSB/A filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.
The
results for the six months ended December 31, 2007 may not necessarily be
indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.
Note 3 – Discontinued
Operations
LowestCostMall
In July
2006, the Company discontinued the operations previously conducted by
LCM.
Cognigen Business Systems,
Inc.
On
September 14, 2007, the Company sold its 100% ownership interest in CBSi to Carl
Silva and Anza Borrego Partners, Inc. (“ABP”), for 1,246,028 shares of Cognigen
common stock valued at $56,196 and the retention of $30,844 of CBSi-related
accounts payable. The consideration was calculated to have a total
value of $42,984 after considering the net assets of CBSi given up, the
retention of accounts payable and the value of the shares of the Company’s
common stock returned to the Company and cancelled. The decision to
sell the ownership interest in CBSi was based on the determination by the
Company’s Board of Directors that CBSi would be unable to generate enough cash
flows to cover its anticipated operating expenses. In conjunction
with this sale, the Company terminated an employment agreement entered into
between the Company and Carl Silva, a principal of ABP, and all
benefits related to that employment agreement were terminated or
relinquished. All other agreements with ABP were also
terminated in relation to delivering to ABP shares of common stock based on
pretax income for CBSi that was included in the original agreement with Carl
Silva and ABP. The 1,246,028 common shares of the Company received in
the transaction were cancelled.
Sale of Proprietary
Telecommunications Accounts
On
October 13, 2006, the Company agreed to sell its interest in the majority of its
telecommunications “one plus” accounts for which it records telecommunications
revenue through sales of proprietary products and services.

Note 4 – Management’s
Plan
Cash
flows generated from operations, from the Company’s receivables financing
arrangement and from BayHill Capital were sufficient to meet the Company’s
working capital requirements for the six months ended December 31, 2007, but
will likely not be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements
for the foreseeable future or provide for expansion
opportunities. During the six months ended December 31, 2007, the
Company incurred $1,897,783 in losses from operations and used $259,704 in cash
for operations. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the
six months ended December 31, 2007 were $231,764.
The
Company and Silicon Valley Bank have entered into a Receivables Purchase
Agreement dated December 26, 2003, as amended, which provides for up to
$1,000,000 in marketing commissions receivable to be used as collateral for
advances to be made by Silicon Valley Bank, of which 80% of
7
COGNIGEN
NETWORKS, INC.
the
marketing commissions receivable balances are available in cash advances to the
Company. Interest charges are 1.5% per month on the marketing
commissions receivable balances used as collateral (the “Receivables Purchase
Agreement”). The Receivables Purchase Agreement expires March 24,
2008. Silicon Valley Bank has indicated its intent to not renew the
Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Company is seeking to obtain
replacement financing at this time.
On
October 10, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with VenCore Solutions,
LLC (“VenCore”) to borrow $250,000 in a term loan to be repaid by making monthly
payments of
$9,000,
which includes interest at 16.7% per annum. The loan is fully amortizable over
36 months, and was used for working capital purposes. VenCore was granted a lien
subordinate to Silicon Valley Bank on all assets of the Company. During the six months
ended December 31, 2007, the Company made a proposal to VenCore that is pending
final approval by VenCore’s loan committee. The proposal was that the
Company would pay $18,000 upon submission of the proposal, pay $5,000 per month
in principal beginning November 10, 2007 until June 10, 2008, and pay a
principal reduction of $100,000 in cash as a condition of the proposed
restructuring. Interest on outstanding principal amount would accrue
and be paid in common shares of the Company, and upon the Company’s payment of
the $100,000 in principal reduction, VenCore would convert $50,000 of the
remaining principal amount of the term loan into common shares of the
Company. The conversion of principal and accrued interest payments
would be valued at a price of $.025 per share. The Company has made
the payment of $18,000 and all monthly payments of $5,000 since the date of the
Company’s proposal; however the Company has not paid the $100,000 in principal
reduction as contemplated by the proposal. As a result, VenCore’s
loan committee has not approved or accepted the Company’s proposal.

The
Company has indicated its possible interest in filing an application and other
materials with the SEC in order to obtain a charter as a Business Development
Company (hereinafter, "BDC") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,

management would continue to operate and manage the wholly-owned subsidiary and
continue its efforts to develop and expand the Company’s historical
business.
If the
Company elects to make application for a charter as a BDC, if the Company’s
application for a BDC charter is approved, and if the Company is able to obtain
additional capital financing, the Company’s management believes the Company
would have the ability to provide capital and management advisory services
to both smaller public and private companies seeking access to public capital
markets, financial and operational management expertise, and various forms of
traditional equity and debt capital. Prior to finalizing a decision to become a
BDC, the Company intends to move forward with its plans and activities in an
effort to secure additional equity financing and enhance and expand its
affiliate marketing business.

Receivables Purchase
Agreement
On
December 26, 2003, the Company and Silicon Valley Bank entered into the
Receivables Purchase Agreement which, as subsequently amended, provides for up
to $1,000,000 in marketing commissions receivable to be used as collateral for
advances under the Receivables Purchase Agreement of which 80% of the marketing
commissions receivable balances are available in cash advances to the
Company. Interest charges are 1.5% per month on the marketing
commissions receivable balances used as collateral. Silicon Valley
Bank was given a first-position security interest in substantially all of the
Company’s assets, including any of the Company’s copyrights, trademarks, patents
and mask works, as a condition to the Receivables Purchase
Agreement. The Receivables Purchase Agreement contains certain
positive and negative covenants as defined, including but not limited to, the
requirement of Silicon Valley Bank’s approval to the disposition of assets,
change in ownership and additional indebtedness. The Company paid
facility, audit and due diligence fees to Silicon Valley Bank upon renewal of
this Receivables Purchase Agreement in March of 2007 of approximately
$7,000. This amount is being amortized into interest expense over one
year. The Receivables Purchase Agreement expires March 24,
2008. Silicon Valley Bank has indicated its intent to not renew the
Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Company is seeking to obtain
replacement financing at this time.

Secured Term Loan with
VenCore Solutions, Inc.
On
October 10, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with VenCore to borrow
$250,000 in a term loan to be repaid principal and interest of $9,000 monthly
including interest at 16.7%. The loan was fully amortizable
over 36 months. The term loan contains certain covenants as
defined, which include but are not limited to, VenCore’s approval of the
disposition of assets, additional liens on assets and the change of
debtors. As part of the agreement, the Company issued to VenCore
75,000 warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of restricted common stock of the
Company valued at $5,093. The warrants were granted at $.12 per
share and are exercisable for up to seven years from date of
grant. The Company granted VenCore a second-position lien on
substantially all of the assets of the Company, which is subordinate to the
claim of Silicon Valley Bank pursuant to the Receivables Purchase
Agreement. Commitment and documentation fees of $5,500 were paid to
VenCore. These fees are being amortized over three years as an
adjustment to interest expense. Subsequent to September 30, 2007, the
Company made a proposal to VenCore that is pending final approval by VenCore’s
loan committee. The proposal was that the Company would pay $18,000
upon submission of the proposal, pay $5,000 per month in principal beginning
November 10, 2007 until June 10, 2008, and pay a principal reduction of $100,000
in cash prior to the proposed restructuring. Interest on outstanding
principal amount would accrue and be paid in common shares of the Company’s
common stock, and upon the Company’s payment of the $100,000 in principal
reduction, VenCore would convert $50,000 of the remaining principal into common
shares of the Company. The conversion of principal and accrued
interest payments would be valued at a price of $.025 per share. The
Company has made the payment of $18,000 and all monthly payments of $5,000 since
the date of the Company’s proposal; however the Company has not paid the
$100,000 in principal reduction as contemplated by the proposal. As a
result, VenCore’s loan committee has not approved or accepted the Company’s
proposal.
Convertible Secured
Promissory Notes with BayHill Capital
On June
15, 2007 and June 28, 2007, BayHill Capital extended to the Company short-term
loans in the amount of $100,000 and $150,000,
respectively. These Notes bore interest at the rate of 10% per
annum, 15% upon default. Both of these notes, together with principal
and accrued interest of $7,776, were converted on October 17, 2007 into
10,331,040 common shares of the Company. The conversion feature
within the promissory notes that was exercised in October resulted in the
Company recording a beneficial conversion feature in stockholders equity of
approximately $155,191 and an increase to interest expense in the statement of
operations.
On
September 26, 2007, BayHill Capital extended to the Company a short-term loan in
the amount of $30,000 which bears interest at 10% per annum. The note
was due on October 13, 2007 and is considered due and
payable. Subsequent to October 13, 2007 and at BayHill’s option, this
note became convertible at the lower of $.05 per share or 80% of the average
closing bid price of the Company’s common share price for the previous five
trading days. This note is secured by a subordinated security
agreement on all the assets of the Company. As the conversion option
has no explicit limit on the number of shares that may be deliverable upon
conversion, the conversion option qualifies as a derivative, and the Company
recorded the initial fair value of the derivative of $10,833 on October 14, 2007
as a derivative liability and as interest expense. The fair value of
the derivative liability is $14,550 as of December 31, 2007, and the Company
recorded the loss on fair value of the derivative of $3,717 during the three and
six months ended December 31, 2007.

the amount of $150,000 which bears interest at 10% per annum. This
note is convertible into the Company’s common shares at $.03 per share and is
also secured by a subordinated security agreement on all the assets of the
Company. This note was due on December 4, 2007. The
conversion feature within this promissory note resulted in the Company recording
a beneficial conversion feature in stockholders equity of $100,000 and an
increase to interest expense in the statement of operations.

with BayHill Capital
On
December 5, 2007 and December 27, 2007 BayHill Capital extended to the Company
short-term loans in the amounts of $125,000 and $100,000 respectively, which
bear interest at 12% per annum and are due March 31, 2008. Payment of
accrued interest can be made in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, at
the discretion of the Company. If the Company pays the accrued
interest in shares of Company common stock, the number of shares of common stock
will be calculated based on a price of $0.03 per share of the Company’s common
stock.
Note Payable to
Cardelco
On
December 31, 2007, Cardelco, LLC (“Cardelco”) entered into a short-term
promissory note with the Company in the amount of $25,000. Payment on the note
consists of $5,000 per month starting February 1, 2008 until fully
paid. This promissory note does not bear interest unless default
occurs at which time interest would accrue at 10% per
annum. This note was part of a lease termination agreement
between the Company and Cardelco relating a lease for office space in San Diego,
California. The termination agreement consisted of paying $45,000 to
Cardelco, $20,000 of which was paid upon agreeing to the termination agreement
and the remaining $25,000 was paid in the form of a short-term promissory note
payable at $5,000 per month beginning February 1, 2008.
Note 6 - Stockholders'
Equity
Preferred
Stock
As of
December 31, 2007, the Company had authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred
stock. The Company has designated 500,000 shares as 8% Convertible
Series A.
On
October 17, 2002 the Company issued 500,000 shares of 8% Convertible Series A
Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to Stanford International Bank
Limited for $500,000. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is
convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of the Company’s common
stock for a period of five years. After five years the Series A
Preferred Stock was automatically converted to common stock. The
Series A Preferred Stock did not have voting rights and had a liquidation
preference of $1.00 per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock were cumulative at the rate of 8% per annum of the liquidation value,
$1.00 per share, were payable in cash, when and if declared by the Board of
Directors, and were preferential to any other junior securities, as
defined. The Board did not declare any such
dividends. Because of the cumulative nature of these dividends, if
all dividends had been declared the balance owing would have been
$200,000 as of October 14, 2007, the day of automatic
conversion. All outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
automatically converted to 500,000 common shares on October 14, 2007 according
to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. As such, Stanford
International Bank Limited was issued 500,000 shares of common stock and the
500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were cancelled. There are
currently no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

Commission River,
Inc.
On
November 30, 2007, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Reorganization
Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) by and among the Company and Commission River,
Inc. (“Commission River”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of Commission River’s assets
in exchange for 16,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The assets of
Commission River acquired primarily included intellectual property, employment
agreements and non-complete agreements. The cost of the acquisition
was valued at $800,000 of which $400,000 was allocated to intellectual property
and $400,000 was allocated to the three year employment and non-compete
agreements. These intangible costs are being amortized over their
three year estimated useful lives. Upon the issuance of these
16,000,000 common shares effective November 30, 2007, Commission River became
the largest record holder of the Company’s common stock.
Cognigen Business Systems,
Inc.
During
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 and the fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 2007, the Company generated revenue from the CBSi
operations in the amount of $58,463, $0 and $15,233,
respectively. During the same period (July 1, 2005 through September
30, 2007) the Company incurred in excess of $600,000 in expenses associated with
the CBSi operations. After reviewing the activities and operations of
CBSi, the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that the large losses
generated by CBSi, and the projected amount of cash required to develop and
market the intended CBSi products, did not warrant further investment in
CBSi or continued marketing and sale of the CBSi products. The Company's
Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders to focus the Company's efforts on continuing to develop its
historical agent marketing business and, on September 14, 2007, agreed to sell
its 100% ownership in CBSi to Carl Silva and ABP, effective August 31, 2007, for
1,246,028 shares of Cognigen common stock valued at $56,196 and the retention of
$30,844 of CBSi related accounts payable. In conjunction with this
sale, the employment agreement and all benefits related thereto with Carl Silva
were terminated and or relinquished. All other agreements with
ABP were also terminated in relation to delivering to ABP shares of common stock
based on pretax income for CBSi that was included in the original agreement with
Carl Silva and ABP. The 1,246,028 common shares of the Company
received in the transaction were cancelled.

Stock Redemption Agreement
between the Company, the Anderson Family Trust, Cantara Communications
Corporation, and Kevin E. Anderson Consulting, Inc.
On
December 7, 2001, the Company re-purchased 2,712,500 shares of the Company’s
common stock from the Anderson Family Trust (“AFT”). The Anderson
Family Trust delivered shares from those owned by Cognigen Corporation, a
company 98.9 % owned by AFT, to satisfy its obligation pursuant to the
transaction. Kevin E. Anderson, the founder of the Company, and
members of his family are the beneficiaries of AFT. Kevin E. Anderson
may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of the Company’s common stock owned
by AFT.
As
consideration for the return of the 2,712,500 shares to the Company, among other
consideration, the Company transferred to Cantara, an affiliate of Mr. Anderson,
the rights to become the up-line agent for the Company’s
current accounts and thereby be entitled to commissions, fees and bonuses on the
Company’s current customer accounts, with a commission not to exceed
12%. As part of the transaction, Cantara agreed to cap the amount of
commissions payable by the Company through December 31, 2002. The amount of
commissions, fees and bonuses that Cantara is entitled receive under the agent
agreement is contingent upon the generation of sales by it and its down line
agents and payment for the products and services sold by our customers and
vendors. The sales are generated either directly by Cantara and/or its down-line
sub-agents. For the six-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, the Company paid Cantara $122,115 and $215,997 in commissions,
respectively. In addition, as a part of that transaction, the Company’s
agreement with Kevin E. Anderson Consulting, Inc., pursuant to which the Company
paid Kevin E. Anderson Consulting, Inc. consulting fees of $14,583 per month,
was cancelled and Mr. Anderson was retained through March 31, 2003 at the rate
of $1,000 per month to provide to the Company up to 20 hours telecommuting
consulting services per month.
Prior to
September 30, 2005, commission payments earned by Cantara pursuant to the
foregoing arrangement were reflected in the Company’s financial statements as a
reduction in the amount of deferred commissions payable by the
Company. For periods subsequent to September 30, 2005, the payments
earned by Cantara pursuant to the foregoing arrangement were reflected as
commission expense on the Company’s financial statements.
In March
2003, the Company entered into a separate consulting agreement with Kevin E.
Anderson Consulting, Inc., an entity affiliated with Mr. Anderson, to provide
expanded consulting and technical/administrative services. For the
six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company paid Kevin E. Anderson
Consulting, Inc. $11,250 and $27,000, respectively, pursuant to the consulting
agreement.
For the
six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, Cognigen also paid members of Kevin
E. Anderson’s family $16,205 and $25,133 in agent commissions,
respectively.
On
December 9, 2005, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement, as
amended, with AFT and Cantara (the Cantara Purchase Agreement). Under the
Cantara Purchase Agreement, the Company paid AFT a total of $150,000 as of
December 31, 2007. Under the Cantara Purchase Agreement, the Stock Redemption
Agreement was to terminate if the Company pays AFT a total of $1,500,000 by
March 15, 2011 pursuant to a schedule set forth in the Cantara Purchase
Agreement, as amended. AFT continued to receive 100% of the amount due to the
Cantara Agency until December 29, 2006, at which time the Company began
receiving 10% of commission due. Thereafter, the percentage that the
AFT received was to reduce as the Company made additional
payments. The Company had the right
14
COGNIGEN
NETWORKS, INC.
to prepay
any unpaid amounts due at any time and stop all payments to the AFT under the
Stock Redemption Agreement. Given cash flow considerations, in
January 2007 the Company decided to terminate payments under the Cantara
Purchase Agreement. The Company owns 10% of the commission payment to
the AFT, however, it no longer has a right to purchase the remaining 90% at this
time. The $150,000 paid by the Company to AFT is reflected on the
Company’s balance sheet and is being amortized to commission expense over three
remaining years in accordance with the 10% ownership of the commission payments
to Cantara. During the six months ended December 31, 2007, after
completing an evaluation on the expected cash flows relative to the net book
value of the entry in the Company’s financial statements, the Company amortized
an additional $87,310 as a charge to commission expense, leaving a
net balance of $47,690 as other assets, .
Consulting Arrangements with
Combined Telecommunications Consultancy, Ltd. and Commission Payments to
Telkiosk, Inc.
The
Company previously had an agreement with Combined Telecommunications
Consultancy, Ltd. (“CTC”), of which slightly less than 35% is owned by Peter
Tilyou, pursuant to which CTC received a percentage of a transaction if CTC
introduced a transaction to the Company and was paid a consulting fee of $150
per hour for providing consulting services to the Company. Although
this agreement was not formally renewed, it is the Company’s intentions to pay
CTC under the same structure for any services rendered to the
Company. During the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
the Company paid CTC $0 and $14,000, respectively, in consulting
fees.
Payments to
Directors
A
director of the Company has been performing consulting services for the Company
and receiving $7,500 per month for these services since June 15, 2007 for a
total of $45,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
Payments to
Telarus,
Inc.
During
the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company accrued $49,519 for payments
to Telarus, Inc. (“Telarus”) for services performed by the employees of Telarus
on behalf of the Company and various expenses paid by Telarus on behalf of the
Company. This amount is included in accounts payable on the
Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2007. Telarus is owned by the
principals of Commission River who are now executive officers of a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company plans to continue
using the services of Telarus employees on a limited basis for the next twelve
months. Services provided by Telarus include various accounting and
software development projects which are limited in scope. Services are
billed to the Company on an hourly basis and are approved by an independent
executive of the Company. The Company anticipates services provided by
Telarus will be less then $15,000 per month and will decrease in amount during
the third quarter of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
1. Overview
Cognigen
Networks, Inc. (“Cognigen” or the “Company”) is an Internet and relationship
enabled marketer. The Company markets and sells services and products
through commission-based marketing agents who use the Internet as a platform to
provide customers and subscribers with a variety of telecommunications and
technology-based products and services. Historically, the Company has
generated revenues in two ways. First, the Company has generated
marketing commission revenues from vendors who are represented on web sites
operated by independent agents of the Company and for whom the Company sells
products and services via contractual agreements. Generally, the
Company enters into contractual agreements with these vendors, who pay the
Company commissions based on the volume of products and services sold by the
Company’s independent sales agents. The Company then pays a portion
of those commission revenues to the independent sales agents responsible for
making the sales upon which the commissions were based. A significant
portion of the Company’s marketing commission revenues is attributable to the
sale of domestic and international long distance services; however, the Company
also generates marketing commission revenues from the sale of prepaid
calling cards/pins and paging, wireless communications, computers and
Internet-based telecommunications products.
Second,
the Company has also generated revenues from sales of proprietary products and
services. Generally, the Company has acquired or developed these
proprietary products and services with the intention of marketing such products
and services through the Company’s independent agent network. These
products and services have included long distance telecommunication services,
online shopping websites and broadband voice, data, video and management
communication and control support services. Most of these products
have been sold by the Company’s independent agents, and the Company has
generally paid commissions to its agents based on the dollar volume of products
sold.

revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $1,073,692, compared to
$1,587,902 for the corresponding period of 2006. This represents a decrease of
$514,210 from the comparable period of 2006, or 32%. This decrease
reflects a significant reduction in the Company’s sales of long distance
products and cell phones.
Marketing
commissions expense decreased from $1,216,928 for the three months ended
December 31, 2006 to $695,490 for the corresponding period of 2007, a decrease
of $521,438, or 43%, from the comparable period of 2006. This
decrease correlates to a decrease in marketing commissions revenue explained
above, as well as a decrease in payments to the Company from its largest
cell phone carrier, who filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $1,416,088, or 411%, for the three
months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the corresponding period of
2006. This increase was largely attributable to the issuances of
shares of common stock to officers, directors and consultants of the Company, in
exchange for services and subject to restricted stock agreements. The value of
such shares of common stock, in the aggregate, was recorded to general and
administrative expenses of $1,190,000 in December 2007. In addition,
during the quarter the provision for doubtful accounts was increased as a result
of the Company’s largest cell phone carrier filing for protection under Chapter
11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Marketing commissions from this cell
phone carrier for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were approximately
$75,000. The Company has provided an
17
allowance
for doubtful accounts of $203,000 in connection with the bankruptcy filing,
$75,000 of which was recorded in the three months ended December 31,
2007. Also during the three months ended December 31, 2007, the
Company experienced an increase in legal, accounting and other expense
associated with conducting the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, various
financing arrangements, and corporate reorganization efforts.
The
increase of depreciation and amortization of $20,807 over the corresponding
period of 2006 was primarily attributable to amortization of the portion of the
purchase price of the assets of Commission River representing intangible
intellectual property and employment and non-compete
agreements. This amortization was for one month based on the
acquisition date of November 30, 2007.
Interest
expense for the three months ended December 31, 2007 of $159,020 was higher
than the $31,795 for corresponding period of 2006, due primarily to higher than
average outstanding receivables financing balances, the increase in short term
funding, and a beneficial conversion feature of $100,000 related to the
promissory note from BayHill Capital issued in November 2007.
Six
Months Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31,
2006
Total
revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2007 was $2,302,410 compared to
$3,119,124 for the corresponding period of 2006. This represents a decrease of
$816,714 from that of the corresponding period of 2006, or 26%. This
decrease reflects a significant reduction in the Company’s sales of long
distance products and cell phones.
Marketing
commissions expense decreased from $2,428,721 for the six months ended December
31, 2006 to $1,508,745 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease
of $919,976, or 38%. This decrease correlates to a decrease in
marketing commissions revenue explained above, as well as a decrease in
payments to the Company from its largest cell phone carrier, who filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $1,474,246, or 200%, from the
six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the corresponding period of
2006. This increase was largely attributable to the issuances of shares of
common stock to officers, directors and consultants of the Company, in exchange
for services and subject to restricted stock agreements. The value of such
shares of common stock, in the aggregate, was recorded to general and
administrative expenses of $1,190,000 in December 2007. In addition,
during this period a provision for doubtful accounts was recorded as a result of
the Company’s largest cell phone carrier filing for protection under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Marketing commissions from this cell
phone carrier for the six months ended December 31, 2007 were approximately
$290,000. Of this amount, the Company has provided an allowance for doubtful
accounts of $203,000, all of which was recorded during the six months ended
December 31, 2007. Also during this period the Company experienced an
increase in legal, accounting and other expense relating to the Company’s annual
shareholders meeting, various financing arrangements and corporate
reorganization efforts.
The
Company incurred depreciation and amortization expense of $22,222 during the six
months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $19,391 from the corresponding
period 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to amortization
of the portion of the purchase price of the assets of Commission River
representing intangible intellectual property and employment and non-compete
agreements.
Interest
expense for the six months ended December 31, 2007 of $371,654 was higher
than the $57,974 for the corresponding period of 2006, due primarily to higher
than average outstanding receivables financing balances, increased short term
borrowings during 2007, and beneficial conversion features of $255,191 recorded
this period. The beneficial conversion features related to the
promissory notes from Bay Hill Capital which in September 2007 became
convertible into common shares and the promissory note issued by the Company to
BayHill Capital in November 2007.
18
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
flows generated from operations, from the Company’s receivables financing
arrangement and from BayHill Capital were sufficient to meet working capital
requirements for the six months ended December 31, 2007, but will not likely be
sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements for the
foreseeable future or provide for expansion opportunities. During the
six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred $1,897,783 in losses
from operations and used $259,704 in cash for operations. Cash flows
provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2007 were
$231,764.
The
Receivables Purchase Agreement expires March 24, 2008. Silicon Valley
Bank has indicated their intent to not renew the Receivables Purchase
Agreement. The Company is seeking to obtain replacement financing at
this time.
During
the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company made a proposal to VenCore
that is under review by VenCore’s loan committee. The proposal was
that the Company would pay $18,000 upon approval of the proposal, pay $5,000 per
month in principal beginning November 10, 2007 until June 10, 2008, pay $100,000
of principal, pay interest on outstanding principal amount in common shares of
the Company stock and that VenCore, upon the Company’s payment of $100,000,
would convert $50,000 of the principal amount of the VenCore debt into common
shares of the Company. The conversion and interest payments would be
valued at a $.025 price per share. The Company has made the payment
of $18,000 and all monthly payments of $5,000 since this time. The
Company has not, however, paid the $100,000 payment which is a condition of the
proposal. Accordingly, VenCore’s loan committee has not approved or
accepted the Company’s proposal.
On June
15, 2007 and June 28, 2007, BayHill Capital extended to the Company short-term
loans in the amount of $100,000 and $150,000,
respectively. Both of these notes and accrued interest were
converted on October 17, 2007 into 10,331,040 common shares of the
Company.
On
September 26, 2007, BayHill Capital extended to the Company a short-term loan in
the amount of $30,000 which bears interest at 10% per annum. This
note is convertible at the lower of $.05 per share or 80% of the average closing
bid price of the Company’s common share price for the previous five trading days
and is secured by a subordinated security agreement on all the assets of the
Company. The note was due on October 13, 2007 and is considered due
and payable.
On
November 5, 2007, BayHill Capital extended to the Company a short-term loan in
the amount of $150,000 which bears interest at 10% per annum. This
note is convertible into the Company’s common shares at $.03 per share and is
also secured by a subordinated security agreement on all the assets of the
Company. This note was due on December 4, 2007 and is considered due
and payable.
There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional debt or
equity financing, that the Company will be able to reduce or eliminate more
costs and expenses or that cash flows from operations or financing activities
will produce adequate cash flow to enable the Company to meet all future
obligations or to be able to expand. The Company’s current
liabilities of $2,187,353 exceed current assets by $1,463,571. All of the
Company’s existing financing arrangements are short term.
The
Company has indicated its possible interest in filing an application and other
materials with the SEC in order to obtain a charter as a Business Development
Company (hereinafter, "BDC") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. If the Company elects to become a BDC, and is granted a
charter by the SEC, the Company may elect to continue its historic business
operations
19
through a
wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company’s management would continue to
operate and manage the wholly-owned subsidiary and continue its efforts to
develop and expand the Company’s historical business.
If the
Company elects to make application for a charter as a BDC, if the Company’s
application for a BDC charter is approved, and if the Company is able to obtain
additional capital financing, the Company’s management believes the Company
would have the ability to provide capital and management advisory services
to both smaller public and private companies seeking access to public capital
markets, financial and operational management expertise, and various forms of
traditional equity and debt capital. Prior to finalizing a decision to become a
BDC, the Company intends to move forward with its plans and activities in an
effort to secure additional equity financing and enhance and expand its
affiliate marketing business.
Forward
Looking Statements
Certain
of the information discussed herein, and in particular in this section entitled
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” contains forward
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that might adversely
affect the Company’s operating results in the future in a material
way. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the
Company’s possible inability to obtain additional financing, the Company’s
possible lack of producing agent growth, the Company’s possible lack of revenue
growth, the Company’s possible inability to add new products and services that
generate increased sales, the Company’s possible lack of cash flows, the
Company’s inability to integrate or capitalize on the operations and assets
acquired from Commission River, The Company’s failure to obtain a
charter as a BDC, the Company’s possible loss of key personnel, the possibility
of telecommunication rate changes and technological changes and the possibility
of increased competition. Many of these risks are beyond the
Company’s control. The Company is not entitled to rely on the safe
harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, when making
forward-looking statements.
Item
3.Controls and Procedures
(a)
|
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and
procedures.
|
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our
disclosure controls are effective.
In the
past, the Company’s management was unable to conclude that the Company
maintained effective controls over its process in a manner that was sufficient
to ensure the complete, accurate and timely preparation and review of its
consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. The principal concern identified by the
Company’s management with respect to effective disclosure controls and
procedures was a lack of personnel and resources. Specifically, the
Company did not have effective controls over the process for identifying,
accumulating
and reviewing all required supporting information to ensure the completeness,
accuracy and timely preparation and review of its consolidated financial
statements and disclosures, including discontinued operations, a statement of
cash flows and certain footnotes. However, since the duties of the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer are now segregated and
the
20
Company’s
operations and financial reporting are now being reviewed and overseen by a
separate management team, the Company’s management has concluded that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were in place as of December 31,
2007 and will be fully effective during the Company’s fiscal quarter ending
March 31, 2008. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer oversees the
Company’s accounting and general internal control process and reports to our
Chief Executive Officer, who ultimately reviews all financial reports that are
issued. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had engaged additional
personnel for the purpose of implementing the additional controls over financial
reporting which the Company’s management considered necessary to provide the
confirmation set forth in this Item 3(a). Notwithstanding
management’s determination, the Company’s management believes the additional
personnel will enhance the Company’s disclosure control procedures during the
Company’s fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008.
(b)
|
Changes
in internal control over financial
reporting.
|
Since the
acquisition of Commission River, Inc on November 30, 2007, The Company has
expanded its staff to include a separate management team who reviews and
approves the business and financial reporting conducted by the
Company. Also during the three months ended December 31, 2007, the
Company added a Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers with specific
responsibilities for the Company’s financial reporting. These
personnel changes, as well as the Company’s implementation of additional
financial and management processes and procedures, have increased the Company’s
controls over financial and enhanced reporting controls.

The
Company did not engage the services of an underwriter in connection with the
issuance of any of the foregoing shares of common stock or
warrants.
In
agreeing to issue the foregoing shares of common stock and warrants, the Company
relied on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Commission River, BayHill
Capital, Stanford Financial, SWE Investors, Allen and Associates and the
individuals identified above had full information
concerning the Company and took the shares or warrants for purposes of other
than distribution unless the shares or underlying shares are registered under
the Securities Act of 1933. The stock or warrant certificate
evidencing each grant described above contained a legend restricting their
transfer of the shares or warrants (or any share exercisable upon exercise of
the warrant) transfer unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or unless there is an exemption available for their
transfer.
