CORDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Period Ended September 30, 2007

(Unaudited)



Note 1: Basis of Presentation/Going Concern


Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods reported. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cordia Corporation (“Cordia”) and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries Cordia Communications Corp. (“CCC”), My Tel Co, Inc (“My Tel”), Cordia International Corp. (“CIC”), and its subsidiaries, CordiaIP Corp. (“CordiaIP”), and Midwest Marketing Group, Inc. (“Midwest”), and its subsidiary, as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, or from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2007 and 2006.  Cordia and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. (See also – Note 6).


Going Concern


These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Cordia and its subsidiaries will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $303,800 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 and also has a negative working capital of approximately $7,346,000 and a deficiency in stockholders’ equity of approximately $1,989,000 as of September 30, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations as they come due during the remainder of 2007 and into 2008.  In its efforts to strengthen its financial position the Company raised cash from receivables financing during the third quarter of 2007 (see Note 5) and may also have to raise cash from additional sources to cover short-term cash deficiencies that may arise in the future.


Note 2: Earnings (loss) Per Share


Earnings (loss) per common share are calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to report both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common share outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. Diluted  (loss) per share for 2007, and  2006, is the same as basic earnings per share as the effect of the common stock purchase options and warrants outstanding, on such calculation, would have been anti-dilutive.


Weighted average number of shares outstanding was 5,664,305, and 5,596,117 for basic and diluted loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and 5,611,473 and 5,626,874, for three months ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively.   Potentially dilutive shares that were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their impact would be anti-dilutive, aggregated 802,232 and 864,329 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

(Unaudited)



Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company


Financial Accounting StandardsBoard (FASB) Interpretation No. 48; Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN48”)


In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in consolidated financial statements.  FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return.  FIN 48 also provides guidance related to, among other things, classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and disclosure requirements.  We have adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 and believe there is no impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.


Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 159 (“SFAS 159”): The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS No. 159).  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively.  The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008.


Note 4: Restricted Cash


As a result of expanding our wireline service offerings into additional states covered by our commercial services agreement with Qwest Communications International, Inc. (“Qwest”) we obtained a Letter of Credit (“LOC”) for the benefit of Qwest in the amount of $142,000.  The LOC is secured by funds which we deposited into a restricted money market account.  The LOC is effective for a term of one (1) year from June 25, 2007. In addition, our newly acquired entity Northstar Telecom, Inc., has a $30,000 LOC with Verizon, raising our amount of restricted cash to $172,795, which includes interest of $795.


Note 5: Factoring and Security Agreement


On September 21, 2007, the Company entered into a Factoring and Security Agreement with Thermo Credit, LLC (“Thermo”), a Colorado limited liability company, in which the Company offered to sell, transfer, and assign certain eligible receivables to Thermo in exchange for payment of the net value of the purchased receivables after deducting applicable LEC and billing fees, adjustments and reserves.  


The Agreement is for a term of three (3) years from closing and provides for an initial purchase commitment of up to $4,500,000 of eligible receivables.  Collections made on the transferred receivables that exceed the amount paid by Thermo to Cordia shall be remitted to Cordia by Thermo on succeeding purchase dates.  


Purchases made by Thermo are made subject to an initial advance rate of 70% less a factor commission of 1% on the gross amount purchased.  The first purchase of gross receivables in the amount of approximately $3,300,000 occurred on September 24, 2007. The net payment received by Cordia was approximately $2,200,000 after adjustment which included an initial commitment fee of 2.5% of the initial purchase commitment payable in three installments, the first of which was paid at the time of the first purchase.

Note 6:  Acquisition


On August 15, 2007, My Tel Co, Inc, (“My Tel”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Cordia, completed the purchase of Midwest Marketing Group, Inc. (“Midwest”), a Nebraska corporation. My Tel purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Midwest resulting in the acquisition of both Midwest and its wholly-owned subsidiary Northstar Telecom Inc. (“Northstar”), a Nebraska corporation that operates as a competitive local exchange carrier primarily in the Qwest territory.  Total consideration for the purchase of the outstanding Midwest stock was 300,000 shares of Cordia Corporation restricted common stock, valued at $.80 per share, which was the market value at closing, and issued on a pro rata basis to each of the selling shareholders based on their percentage of ownership, $500,000 in cash and a three (3) year note (“Note”) in the amount of $1,750,000 bearing interest of 6% per annum with monthly payments of principal and interest.  The Note is subject to post closing adjustment for (1) selling shareholders non-payment of certain obligations incurred prior to and still outstanding as of August 15, 2007 or (2) if the estimates and schedule relied upon in determining the value of the Note is in the aggregate $100,000 greater than or lesser than the actual amounts payable and receivable as of August 15, 2007 as determined on or before April 15, 2008.  In addition, as part of the transaction one of the selling shareholders of Midwest has been hired by the Company to serve as Vice President of Call Center Operations subject to a two (2) year employment agreement commencing on May 21, 2007.  Compensation pursuant to the employment agreement is comprised of an annual salary of $175,000, and an option to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Cordia Corporation common stock at $0.75 per share, at the then current market value.  The options vest over a three (3) year period with 50% of the option shares vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the balance vesting in 25% increments on the second and third anniversary of the grant date.  Other performance based incentive compensation may be paid in the form of cash, stock and/or options during the term of the employment agreement based upon the employee’s performance and the growth and profitability of the Company.  The agreement is terminable with or without cause.


The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.”  The purchase price was first allocated to tangible and any material identifiable intangible assets.  The excess purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

On July 31, 2006, CIC acquired a 51% interest in Canal West Soluções em Informática, S/A (“Canal West”), a Brazilian corporation originally formed as a limited liability partnership for a cash price of $45,000. Goodwill of approximately $17,000 was recorded based on the residual purchase price after allocating the purchase price to the fair market value of tangible and intangible assets acquired of approximately $32,000 less liabilities assumed of approximately $23,000. In accordance with FAS 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested at least annually for impairment. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was deemed immaterial and has not been provided.  At December 31, 2006, the Company determined that the goodwill associated with the purchase of this company should be written down to $0. The minority interest of approximately $2,745 at December 31, 2006 represents the liability related to the 49% minority ownership interest in Canal West.

Note 6: Acquisition (Cont’d)


Management believed that Canal West had shown growth potential since July 2006 and on February 1, 2007, the Company increased its interest in Canal West by 26.75% to 77.75%. In return for the issuance of an additional 149,137 shares of Canal West, the Company invested an additional $50,000 as working capital.  The minority interest liability of $2,745 has been reduced to $0 in 2007 representing the cumulative losses attributable to the 22.25% minority ownership in Canal West.  On April 2, 2007, the minority shareholders of Canal West sold their 22.25% interest to CIC.  On or about April 5, 2007, CIC transferred its 100% interest in Canal West to its 100% owned subsidiary Cordia do Brasil Participações Ltda a Brazilian entity formed for the purpose of serving as a holding company for CIC’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was deemed immaterial and has not been provided.  Subsequent to the balance sheet date of September 30, 2007, Canal West’s name was changed to Cordia Comunicações S/A (“CC Brazil f/k/a Canal West”).  See Note 8.


On February 15, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Triamis Group Limited (“Triamis”), a privately held Hong Kong corporation.  The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Triamis (10,000 common shares), for a cash purchase price of $200,000 and the equivalent of $200,000 in shares of Cordia’s common stock, or 79,364 shares of restricted common stock, which at the time had a cash value of $2.52 per share. Triamis is a provider of WiFi and VoIP services in the Asian Pacific region. The results of operations of Triamis have been included in our consolidated results of operations subsequent to its acquisition on February 15, 2006.


The values of assets acquired were estimated at fair market value. The following table presents an allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, was not provided as Triamis had minimal operations during the period from January 1, 2006 through February 15, 2006, the date of acquisition.


Note 7:  Impairment of Goodwill


The Company accounts for its goodwill in accordance Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which requires the company to test goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill acquired in the purchase of Midwest will be reviewed for possible impairment at least annually. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with the purchase of Triamis exceeded its fair value, which was estimated based on the present value of expected future cash inflows.  Accordingly, a goodwill impairment loss of $284,117 was recognized.

Note 8: Foreign Currency Transactions


The functional currency of Triamis and Cordia HK Limited (“Cordia HK”) is the local currency, the Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”), the functional currency of CC Brazil f/k/a Canal West is the local currency, the Brazilian Real (“R$”), and the functional currency of Cordia Phils, Inc. is the local currency, the Filipino Peso (“P$”). For these foreign operations, the assets and liabilities have been translated into US dollars using period-end exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and revenue and expenses have been translated using average daily exchange rates for the period.  The resulting cumulative translation adjustment of $3,723 is included in comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet.  


Note 9:  Employee Stock Compensation


On May 23, 2003, Cordia’s shareholders voted to amend the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") by authorizing an additional 1,000,000 shares. The total number of shares of Cordia's common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is 6,000,000 shares subject to adjustment for events such as stock dividends and stock splits.


Effective January 1, 2006, the Plan was accounted for in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("FAS 123(R)"), which replaces FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. FAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements.  In addition, the Company adheres to the guidance set forth within Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107, which provides the Staff's views regarding the interaction between FAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.


In adopting FAS 123(R), the Company applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of FAS 123(R) are to be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under FAS 123.


As a result of the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company's results of operations for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, include share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $202,000 and $57,000 for 2007 and approximately $147,300 and $66,700 for 2006, respectively. This expense is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within general and administrative expense.  Due to a full valuation allowance, no deferred tax asset has been recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements.  


Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire portion of the award. The Company has not adjusted the expense by estimated forfeitures, as required by FAS 123(R) for employee options, since the forfeiture rate based upon historical data was determined to be immaterial. For 2007, the following are the weighted average assumptions used: issuances averaged an expected volatility of 115%; an average risk free rate of 4.59% and an expected life of three years.

As of September 30, 2007, there was approximately $289,400 of total unrecognized compensation cost arising from non-vested compensation related to stock option awards.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.75 years.


The Plan is administered by a committee of the board of directors having full and final authority and discretion to determine when and to whom awards should be granted.

Employee Benefit Plan


In 2004, the Company began the “Cordia Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan” covering all eligible employees. Under the plan, the Company matches on an elective basis, 50% of the first 6% contributed by the employee, for an aggregate maximum of 3%. Participating employees shall become vested in employer contributions after three (3) years of service. If a participating employee is terminated or resigns before the three (3) year vesting period employer contributions shall be forfeited.  The plan became effective January 1, 2004, and employee and employer contributions commenced April 16, 2004.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The Company believes there have been no significant changes during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, to the items disclosed as significant accounting policies in management's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements or in Critical Accounting Practices in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.


Overview

Cordia is a global telecommunications services firm generating revenue from the telecommunications products and services it offers its customers domestically and internationally.  An additional but lesser source of revenue comes from Carrier Access Billing Services (“CABS”), which is compensation we receive from other telecommunications carriers who utilize a portion of our leased loop to complete long distance calls to our customers.  We provide business, residential, and wholesale customers with local and long distance voice services utilizing traditional wireline and Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) technologies.  We also derive revenue from our web-based business process outsourcing services (“BPO Services”), primarily billing services, which are offered on an outsourced basis to other telecommunications service providers on a contractual and on a month-to-month basis.


Our core business is our traditional bundled wireline service offerings which represents a majority of our revenue, followed by revenue derived from our VoIP service offerings and our business process outsourcing.  We believe this revenue trend will continue as we continue to focus on promoting our wireline services and adding additional states in the Qwest and Verizon territories.  We believe the purchase of Midwest, a Nebraska based telemarketing firm, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Northstar Telecom, Inc., a competitive local exchange carrier, will contribute to the wireline revenue trend as the transaction resulted in the acquisition of approximately 18,000 customers and increased our market penetration in the Qwest territory.  Further, we believe the acquisition of a domestic based telemarketing firm is the perfect complement to our recently launched call center in Cebu, Philippines.  By bringing our telemarketing efforts in-house and conducting customer service and additional sales offshore we have the ability to lower our customer acquisition costs as well as our general and administrative expenses.

Business Services


Wireline Services


We offer small business and residential consumers wireline service by leasing a portion of the network owned by other larger telecommunications carriers, namely Verizon and Qwest.  These leasing arrangements are controlled by multi-state, multi-year interconnection and commercial services agreements that allow us to offer telecommunications services to consumers in the Northeastern and Western regions of the United States without incurring the capital expenditures associated with building our own network.  We have executed amendments to these agreements securing long-term extensions and continued access to their networks.

 

We offer local exchange, local access, domestic and international long distance telephone services, and a full suite of local features and calling plans to small business and residential consumers in Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin through CCC, My Tel, and Northstar.    We are also licensed to provide local and/or long distance telecommunications services, but are not actively marketing or providing services, in Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.  Applications for authorization to operate as a local and long distance telecommunications carrier are pending on behalf of CCC and My Tel in the State of Arizona and applications for authority to operate as a long distance carrier are pending in Georgia and Indiana.


My Tel distinguishes itself from CCC and Northstar by targeting consumers in the secondary consumer credit market.  By reducing the invoice due date, accelerating service suspension for non-payment, blocking excessive international calling, and charging a monthly per line service premium we believe we can increase sales while offsetting credit exposure. These tighter controls allow us to offer services to customers who would otherwise have difficulty in obtaining telecommunications service.  


VoIP Services


We offer, through our wholly-owned subsidiary CordiaIP, a voice over broadband solution enabling delivery of voice services over any broadband Internet Protocol (“IP”) connection.  We believe VoIP is the logical extension of our traditional wireline telecommunications service offerings and after achieving compliance with the Federal Communication Commission’s (“FCC”) E911 order, requiring that customers have the ability to make 911 calls over our VoIP network, we launched our full commercial roll-out in January 2006.   To support this service offering, and the marketing efforts related to this service, we hired additional personnel and built our own proprietary VoIP network including our own network software and operating support systems.  


We offer a wide range of service plans including a flat rate plan starting as low as $14.95 per month, combined with a full suite of enhanced features which make our service an attractive value proposition to existing and potential customers. We also give customers the option of choosing their desired area code, offering a number from over forty (40) countries and hundreds of cities worldwide for their telephone number regardless of their physical location creating the ability to make long distance calls local, a feature not available with traditional wireline service.  In addition, through our wholly-owned subsidiary VOzsIP Corp. (“VOzsIP”), we offer a fully integrated Spanish language VoIP service.  Our Spanish language VoIP service is identical in quality and functionality except its target market is Spanish-speaking customers.  The service was designed to be a purely Spanish language experience and includes all Spanish user interfaces, voice prompts, invoices, customer service and targeted country calling plans.  While our service is offered primarily to small business and residential consumers, we also, offer our service on both a wholesale and resale basis.  





13







At present the FCC does not regulate VoIP to the same extent as it does traditional wireline services, although it has commenced a proceeding to examine its role in the new Internet based environment for voice services.  The FCC has however taken a proactive approach with respect to emergency services dialing and accommodating law enforcement wiretaps and we believe we are fully compliant with all FCC requirements.  The current position of the FCC has allowed for rapid entrance into this newly emerging marketplace.  We do however, recognize the uncertainty that exists with respect to the future direction of the FCC and any future regulations it may impose on VoIP providers and the potential impact these regulations may have on our business operations, in particular an increase in our costs associated with providing VoIP thus lowering our profit margin.

We anticipate increased domestic competition as VoIP becomes more widely accepted among consumers.  We believe this consumer driven market will result in lowered prices and it will become difficult for a company our size to effectively compete in the domestic marketplace for this service.  Therefore our goal is to focus on creating a niche in the international VoIP marketplace by providing value added services and creating partnerships and/or acquiring international VoIP providers allowing us to compete more effectively.  Therefore, we formed CIC in 2005 to serve as a holding and management company of our overseas assets which includes our foreign based subsidiaries.  Unfortunately, since its inception CIC has incurred losses.  As a result, the true value of our wireline business, which on a stand alone basis would report a profit, is not apparent when reporting on a consolidated basis.  In spite of its ongoing losses we believe that our international division has long term value, with revenue growth of approximately 70% this quarter as compared to last quarter, and we will continue our efforts to develop these businesses so that they become self-sustaining.


Our international efforts include service offerings in the Asia Pacific (“APAC”) region and South America.  Through our wholly-owned subsidiary Cordia HK we have the ability to offer services under our Public Non-Exclusive Telecommunications Services (“PNETS”) License and our Services-Based Operator license which have been issued by the Office of Telecommunications Authority (“OFTA”) in Hong Kong.  In addition, OFTA has granted us the local access codes and number blocks necessary for the commencement of services.  We believe that Cordia HK’s offerings provide us with the opportunity to serve several key markets in Asia, which include more than 40% of the world’s Internet and broadband subscribers.  We also recently formed Cordia LT Communications Private Limited (“Cordia LT”), an Indian entity pursuant to a Joint Venture Agreement under which we are equal partners.  Subsequent to the balance sheet date of September 30, 2007, Cordia LT was granted a license by the Ministry of Communications which authorizes the provision of VoIP Services in India. Our South American efforts include a 100% interest in CC Brazil f/k/a Canal West, a Brazilian corporation, through our holding company Cordia do Brasil Participacoes, Ltda., which is owned by VOzsIP and CIC, with CIC being the majority shareholder.   


In addition to our overseas holdings, we continue to foster bilateral relationships with international VoIP carriers in an effort to gain low cost access to their networks, allowing us to deliver high quality, low cost global voice services to our domestic and international customers.  To date, our VoIP network includes international Direct Inward Dial (“DID”) telephone numbers from more than forty (40) countries. We believe blending VoIP technology and DID access in an effort to address the large disparity between wholesale costs and retail rates, strengthens our ability to actively participate in the international communications market.  We believe that by offering a wide range of international numbers coupled with value added services we present an attractive value proposition to customers.


Expanding globally exposes us to additional regulatory requirements. Currently, we provide services to customers in more than 70 countries. The stance taken by various countries on the provision of VoIP ranges from total prohibition, to limitation and control of the service by requiring licensing or other registration, to no regulation at all.  It is our goal to expand our service offerings into regions that treat VoIP as an unregulated service.  In addition to compliance with the local regulatory framework in various countries, we must also take into consideration any economic and trade sanctions based on United States foreign policy and national security goals strictly prohibiting us from conducting business or exporting telephone adapters to certain regions.

Business Process Outsourcing Service (“BPO Services”)


We offer an extensive outsourced service product line, which includes as its primary offering outsourced billing on a wholesale basis to telecommunications service providers.  Our wholesale customers have access to our secure Internet enabled software systems in which user-friendly web client front-ends called Workspaces® serve as an interface for integration with our software systems.  The services available to wholesalers through our Workspaces® are the same services utilized internally for the provision of our own traditional wireline and VoIP services to our customers.  As such, we are continuously updating and improving these processes to ensure optimal functionality.  We believe our outsourced solutions are an attractive offering because it is not a pre-packaged all or nothing product; the wholesale customer has the power to assess their organization and then adopt and utilize only the functions they believe will increase their own profitability.  Our goal is to tailor our services to our client’s needs and create a mutually beneficial and profitable relationship.  We believe this is achieved by offering process driven software whereby client required modifications to our systems are made at the server level and then instantly passed onto the client’s end users, promoting our commitment to the continuous development and improvement of our Workspaces®.  We bill these services on a predominantly per line basis and have experienced a decrease in BPO Services revenues as a result of the decreased line count experienced by our wholesale customer’s operations.  As a result we believe revenue derived from BPO Services will become less material as we focus on the growth and development of our own business.  


Plan of Operation


With the extensions of our commercial wholesale agreements in place, we will continue to promote our traditional wireline services expanding into new service territories, targeting small business customers, and offering stand alone long distance services to customers in over ten (10) new territories.   To facilitate the promotion of our wireline offerings and keeping cost of acquisition concerns in mind, we completed the stock purchase and acquisition of Midwest Marketing Group, Inc., a Nebraska based telemarketing firm with approximately 250 seats, and its’ wholly owned subsidiary Northstar Telecom Inc., a Nebraska based competitive local exchange carrier operating in primarily in the Qwest territory.  This acquisition increased our subscriber base by adding approximately 18,000 lines and approximately $10 million in revenue.   In addition, the acquisition has allowed us to bring our sales and support efforts in house, at a significantly reduced cost.


Another long term means of cost reduction was the launch of our call center in Cebu, Philippines.   The decision to open the call center was made after successfully transitioning a portion of our sales and marketing efforts offshore, reducing our customer acquisition costs during the latter half of 2006.  We anticipate saving approximately 50% on our costs associated with acquiring new customers and believe that having our own domestic based telemarketing firm and our own overseas call center will also contribute to the increased growth of our wireline, VoIP, and Magellan customer base.  We anticipate nearly 80% of future sales will be handled between the Midwest call center and our newly established call center in Cebu, Philippines.  We believe that the anticipated increase in revenue coupled with lower acquisition costs and improved operating efficiency will have a positive effect on our 2007 results of operations during the second half of the year.  


In addition to concentrating on promoting growth and revenue relative to our wireline offerings, we will continue to focus on our international VoIP initiative, which includes our recently launched Magellan service offerings.  With Magellan,  customers get their own personal international phone number that is routed, utilizing our IP network, to their mobile or landline phone allowing the customer to be contacted anywhere in the world at local rates.  While we continue to believe in the long term value of our international services and businesses we recognize the financial strain it has placed on our wireline service offerings and its overall effect on our financial profile.  We are optimistic about the growth of our VoIP and International services and believe that in time these businesses can become self-sustaining.  The recent trend in our VoIP related revenues are encouraging and, we will continue to invest in our international VoIP initiatives. These investments will, however, be much more conservative than in the past as it is our goal to return to profitability. We believe our recent growth is indicative of a positive turn and that our stock price does not reflect our progress.  Therefore, we have engaged the services of Source Capital Group, Inc. to offer advice with regard to strategic alternatives in effort to enhance the value of the Company and shareholder value.

Total operating revenues for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007, increased by approximately $4,298,000, and $3,441,000, respectively, to approximately $32,079,000, and $11,934,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $27,781,000 and $8,492,000, respectively, reported in same periods ended September 30, 2006.


Our primary source of revenue is through our wireline services and is earned primarily through the provisioning of services to business, residential and wholesale customers for basic telephone service, including local and long distance service, as well as ancillary services such as voice mail and call waiting and to a lesser extent from CABS billing.  For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007, our wireline services revenue was approximately $31,094,000 and $11,529,000 an increase of approximately $4,170,000 and $3,316,000 respectively from the amounts reported in the same periods last year. The increase in revenue attributed to Northstar was approximately $2,036,000, which includes a one time back billing CABS increase of approximately $750,000.


For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007, our VoIP services revenue was approximately $602,000 and $275,000 an increase of approximately $221,000 or 58% and $151,000 or 121%, respectively as compared to the amounts reported in the same periods last year. Approximately $177,100 of the VoIP revenue was related to our international services and approximately $425,300 was related to our domestic services for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.   


For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007, BPO Services revenue, consisting primarily of income earned through our outsourcing of billing services, data, and website technology to wholesale telecommunications providers, decreased by approximately $93,000 or 20% and $26,000 or 17% to approximately $383,000 and $130,000, as compared to approximately $476,000 and $156,000 reported in the same periods in 2006.  This change occurred as a result of our wholesale customers’ decreased line counts.

Resale and Wholesale Line Charges


Resale and wholesale line charges are direct costs associated with all of our telecommunications subsidiaries, and represent our network access fees paid in order to provide local and long distance telephone service to our customers. These expenses vary in direct correlation to the size of our telecommunications customer base. We have experienced an increase of approximately $2,566,000 and $1,991,000, respectively, for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007 over the same periods ended 2006. The majority of this increase is attributable to the increase in our wireline customers for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007.  The amount of the increase attributed to Northstar is approximately $742,000 for the 2007 periods The increase is also due in part to increases in both our VoIP customer base and our costs associated with providing VoIP services during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods in 2006..


Gross Profit Margin


For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007, we experienced a marginal decrease of our gross profit margin from what we reported for the same periods in 2006. The decrease in gross margin is due to an increase in our costs associated with providing our VoIP services during the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006.

Consolidated operating expenses increased by approximately $2,620,000 and $779,000, respectively, to approximately $16,635,000 and $5,670,000, respectively, for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007, as compared to approximately $14,015,000 and $4,891,000 respectively, reported during the comparable periods in 2006.  Approximately $1,518,000 of the increase is related to our VoIP and international operations and $1,102,000 is related to our wireline and corporate operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Included in the wireline increase is approximately $247,100 attributed to Midwest and Northstar.


Sales and Marketing


For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $479,000 and decreased by $111,000 for the three month period, to approximately $2,963,000 and $836,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $2,484,000 and $947,000, respectively, reported in the prior year. The overall increase is primarily due to the increase in telemarketing costs associated with our growth in My Tel as we are aggressively growing our retail wireline customer base and the launch of our Magellan advertising campaign during second quarter of 2007. The three month decrease is due in large part to the utilization of our Cebu call center. In addition approximately $200,000 of sales and marketing expenses are from Northstar. Although we will increase our efforts to add additional retail wireline customers and market our VoIP and Magellan services on an international scale we expect our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales to decrease in the remainder of 2007 with the opening of our call center in the Philippines.  




17







Bad Debts


For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007, our bad debt expense increased by approximately $379,000 and $405,000, respectively to approximately $2,688,000 and $1,113,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $2,309,000 and $708,000, respectively, reported in the prior year. The overall increase for the nine and three month period is primarily the result of additional bad debts incurred from My Tel’s operations. My Tel reported no bad debt expense during the 2006 period.  We expect that our increased efforts and close monitoring of our receivables will enable us to effectively manage our bad debt exposure throughout the remainder of 2007 and into 2008.   


General and Administrative


General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses include, but are not limited to salaries, rent, office expenses, insurance, commissions, telephone, bank and credit card processing fees, license expense and registration fees. G&A expenses   increased by approximately $1,372,000 and $464,000, respectively, for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods in 2006.  This was due primarily to an increase in costs associated with both our domestic and international VoIP initiatives and development and launch of Magellan services. For the nine month period approximately $1,424,000 of the increase is related to our VoIP and international operations which was offset by a decrease of approximately $52,000 which is related to our wireline and corporate operations. The portion of wireline G&A associated with Midwest and Northstar totaled approximately $345,000.


Impairment of Goodwill


At March 31, 2007, the Company evaluated the goodwill associated with the purchase of Triamis and deemed the carrying value of the goodwill to be impaired. In accordance with FASB 142 the Company wrote down the goodwill with an impairment charge of $284,117.


Depreciation and Amortization


Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $106,000 and $21,000, respectively, for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods in 2006.  This increase was due to additions of depreciable office equipment, time associated with our rollout of VoIP, which was capitalized and depreciated in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, and our expenditures relating to leasehold improvements which were made during the build-out of our Florida office. Depreciation associated with Midwest totaled approximately $2,300.


Depreciation on equipment and capitalized software costs are calculated using the straight line method and the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) over a three (3) year period. Amortization of leasehold improvements and other assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset or the remaining lease term.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At September 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of approximately $1,657,000, a increase of approximately $283,000 from amounts reported at December 31, 2006, and negative working capital of approximately $7,346,000, as compared to negative working capital of approximately $2,749,000 reported at December 31, 2006.  The decrease in working capital is primarily related to our costs associated with funding our overseas subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Brazil and the Philippines, the acquisition of the minority interest in CC Brazil f/k/a Canal West thus resulting in it becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary, the funding of our new call center in the Philippines, our costs associated with the expansion of our domestic and international VoIP service offerings, and the launch of our advertising campaign during the second quarter of 2007, to promote our Magellan service offerings.  



18







Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, aggregated approximately $2,796,000 an increase of approximately $1,550,000, from approximately $1,246,000 provided during the same period in 2006.  The principal source of net cash for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the increase in taxes payable, and the provision for bad debts aggregating approximately $4,922,000. The use of cash reported for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the increase in accounts receivable of approximately $1,400,000 and the net loss for the period amounting to approximately $1,977,000.  


Net cash used by investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, aggregated approximately $1,665,000 compared to net cash used of approximately $1,384,000 during the same period in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash used by investing activities consisted primarily of expenditures for internally developed software for our VoIP platform of approximately $529,000, the purchase of computer equipment of approximately $595,000 and the cash paid for acquiring Midwest amounting to approximately $342,000.  For the period ending September 30, 2006, cash used by investing activities consisted primarily of expenditures relating to the development of our VoIP platform, which amounted to approximately $566,000, purchases of computer equipment amounting to approximately $490,000 and net payments made for the acquisition of Triamis of approximately $211,000. The remaining expenditures of approximately $107,000 were the result of the build-out of our office in Florida.


Net cash used in financing activities for the period ended September 30, 2007, aggregated approximately $25,000 and consisted of the purchase of treasury stock for approximately $16,000 and approximately $9,000 for capital lease obligations as, compared to net cash used by financing activities of approximately $(384,000) for the same period during 2006.  The principal use of cash by financing activities during the 2006 period was for the repurchase of stock warrants amounting to $309,000 and for the repayment of a loan in the amount of $57,000.  


We expect to reduce our level of investment in our VoIP softswitch development and related equipment during the balance of 2007.  We have spent approximately $392,400 in equipment costs for our Philippines call center thus far in 2007.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had sales and marketing expenses of approximately $2,963,000, or approximately 9% of revenues. Starting in the second half of 2006, we transitioned a portion of our sales and marketing efforts offshore resulting in lower customer acquisition costs.  In addition, we have recently opened our own call center in the Philippines and have acquired a 250 seat call center based in Nebraska where we expect to see significant savings in our customer acquisition costs.


At September 30, 2007, our balance sheet showed $173,000 in restricted cash in the form of a LOC’s of which $143,000 is for the benefit of Qwest secured by funds deposited into a restricted money market account. The LOC is effective for a term of one (1) year from June 25, 2007.   The LOC was due to expanding our wireline service offerings into additional states covered by our commercial services agreement with Qwest. The remaining $30,000 is a LOC that our newly purchased subsidiary Northstar, had to obtain for the benefit of Verizon.




19







The Company has incurred losses and also has a negative working capital and a deficiency in stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  


The Company recognized the need for additional working capital to strengthen its financial position, maintain growth, and continue to carry out its plans for its international expansion of VoIP and related value added services and entered into Factoring and Security Agreement (“Factoring Agreement”) with Thermo Credit, LLC (“Thermo”), a Colorado limited liability company, on September 21, 2007.  


Management believes that with the increase in sales from Northstar and the cost savings generated from our lower customer acquisition costs, the Company will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations as they come due during the next twelve month period.   We do, however, recognize the limiting effect that our liquidity has on our growth rate and management may seek additional sources of capital in the future, including but not limited to a private placement of the Company’s common stock, to neutralize this limitation in the future.


The Company recognizes the financial strain the losses of its VoIP and international initiatives have put on the rest of the business and the manner in which it detracts from the overall value of the Company.  We still, however, believe that our VoIP and international initiatives have the potential for long term shareholder value as we have seen revenue growth associated with these services increase by approximately 70% this quarter as compared to last quarter.  Further, we believe that the current market price of our common stock is not an accurate reflection of its true value and that it may take a significant amount of time for these benefits to be realized.  We are therefore, considering strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value and to that end we have engaged with Source Capital Group, Inc. to review and analyze potential opportunities that may serve beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.


Off –balance sheet arrangements


We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, or other contingent arrangements that exposes us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations that provide financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


We earn a majority of our revenue in U.S. dollars where our primary operating activities are located.  We also maintain offices and operate in Brazil, Hong Kong, and the Philippines which creates an exposure to loss if any of those currencies appreciate against the dollar.  We believe however, than any risk due to currency rate exchange fluctuations are immaterial as our operations overseas do not represent a majority of our business.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


(a) Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. In addition, the evaluation is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that our internal controls are effective to provide reasonable assurances that our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are fairly presented in all material respects.


(b) The CEO and CFO each note that, since the date of his/her evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter there have been no changes in internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
