NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to achieve a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No 000-25147).
On January 23, 2006 the Company acquired the subscriber base and assets of 2FAST Communications, Inc. The purchase price was approximately $350,000, including common stock valued at approximately $20,000. Subscriber acquisition costs recorded in connection with the acquisition was approximately $228,000. The fair value assigned to the assets acquired at the date of acquisition is based upon preliminary estimates. The Company is in the process of obtaining supplemental information related to certain intangible assets and equipment, and accordingly the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement.
On July 21, 2005, the Company acquired the subscriber base and assets of TopGun Telecom, Inc. The purchase price was approximately $202,000, including approximately $50,000 in cash and common stock valued at approximately $33,000. Subscriber acquisition costs and goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition were approximately $157,000 and $24,000, respectively. The fair value assigned to the assets acquired at the date of acquisition is based upon preliminary estimates. The Company is in the process of obtaining supplemental information related to certain intangible assets and equipment, and accordingly the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement.
These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the operations of the acquired companies were included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma information for the acquisition is not presented as the impact is not material.
3. | Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share |
There are no adjustments required to be made to net (loss) income for the purpose of computing basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to the net loss. For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, options to purchase 129,750 shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were “in the money” as of March 31, 2005, and it resulted in 48,951 common stock equivalents to be added to the weighted average shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, options to purchase 361,145 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were not “in the money” as of March 31, 2005.
4. | Employee Stock Option Plans |
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plans. The estimated fair value of each option grant was determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the common shares of the Company. No compensation expense has been charged
5
against operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 related to stock option plans.
Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards consistent with the method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS’) No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 would have been as indicated below:

The amortization period for subscriber acquisition costs is 24 months. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, was approximately $149,000 and $398,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, amortization expense for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008 is expected to be approximately $555,000, $318,000 and $72,000, respectively. Goodwill and subscriber acquisition costs acquired during the nine months ended March 31, 2006 were approximately $24,000 and $397,000, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company generated a net loss. During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, the Company generated net income. No provision for income taxes was recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005, as the Company reduced the valuation allowance on its net operating losses generated in prior periods. As of March 31, 2006, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets of approximately $12.2 million. Given its limited history of generating net income, the Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

10. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS No. 123 (R) requires that compensation cost relating to all share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosures are no longer an alternative. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the effective date of SFAS No. 123 (R) to be the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, for public companies that are small business issuers. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123 (R) on July 1, 2006, based on the new effective date announced by the SEC and expects to apply the modified prospective method upon adoption. The modified prospective method requires companies to record compensation cost beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 (R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123 (R) that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of SFAS No. 123 (R) on its financial condition or results of operation upon adoption.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-QSB constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements, identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect” and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and other publicly filed reports discuss some additional important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements.
Overview
Internet America is an Internet service provider (“ISP’) serving approximately 46,000 subscribers in the southwestern United States, primarily in Dallas and Houston, Texas, as of March 31, 2006. A subscriber represents an active, billed service. One customer account may represent multiple subscribers depending on the number of active and billed services for that customer. Prior to fiscal 2005, the Company derived substantially all revenues from services, primarily Internet access services, and related fees, and such revenues represented more than 99% of our revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2004. During fiscal 2005, the Company derived some revenue from reselling wireless equipment which changed the revenue mix. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, Internet access services accounted for 86.8% of total revenue with the remaining revenues related primarily to wireless equipment reseller revenues. Due to lower profit margins in the wireless equipment reseller business compared to Internet access services, management has discontinued substantially all activity in the wireless equipment reseller business as of February 28, 2006, and made related reduction in sales staffing. Substantially all inventory held for the wireless equipment reseller business was sold prior to February 28, 2006, remaining amounts will be deployed in our own wireless Internet infrastructure or related customer network.
The Company continues to experience an attrition of dial-up service customers. The loss of these customers is primarily attributable to their moving to broadband connectivity with other service providers. The Company does not currently have an adequate broadband solution for a majority of its customers in the major metropolitan areas, and we operate in a highly competitive market for each of our service offerings. The competitive environment impacts the churn rates we experience as well as the number of new customers we are able to attract. The largest competitors in broadband access are cable companies and Regional Bell Operating Companies.
The Company’s strategy is to focus on providing wireless Internet connectivity to customers in under-served or non-served markets where competition is less intense. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we expanded into several rural markets which meet these criteria through acquisitions and the deployment of new infrastructure. The Company evaluates locations for deploying new infrastructure based on population density, in an attempt to serve a larger number of underserved customers with each network. The Company is actively pursuing development opportunities in other non-metropolitan markets where competition is less intense and the demand for Internet connectivity may be under-served or non-served. In pursuing this strategy, the Company is narrowing its focus to products and services that contribute directly to its implementation.
Additionally, management is evaluating other product offerings with a view toward improving profitability. Management is realigning both capital and human resources to focus on acquisitions, wireless connectivity and other broadband connectivity. We expect to continue to evaluate the feasibility of new technologies and develop new service offerings, focusing primarily on offerings associated with traditional wireline and wireless services.
Company management believes the initiatives identified above are instrumental in the achievement of our goals, but they may be subject to competitive, regulatory, and other events and circumstances that are beyond our control. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any or all of the initiatives, that the achievement or existence of such initiatives will result in profit improvements, or that other factors will not arise that would adversely affect future profits.

Statement of Operations
Internet services revenue is derived from dial-up Internet access, including analog and ISDN access, DSL access, dedicated connectivity, wireless access, bulk dial-up access, web hosting services, and value-added services, such as multiple e-mail boxes, personalized e-mail addresses and Fax-2-Email services. Other revenue includes Neo server revenue, which was discontinued in November 2004, and wireless equipment reseller revenues.
Prior to fiscal 2005 the Company operated primarily out of its corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas. In January 2006, the Company announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters to Houston, Texas. The move was completed in March 2006, however, certain support center staff continue to operate out of the Dallas office. In fiscal 2005, in addition to the corporate office, the Company began operating out of local offices including district offices in Hillsboro and Stafford, Texas. In fiscal 2006, we continued operating these local offices and added district offices in Corsicana, Floresville and Weimar, Texas. Operating expenses for the Company include operating expenses for both the corporate office and the district offices.
A brief description of each element of our operating expenses follows:
Connectivity and operations expenses consist primarily of setup costs for new subscribers, telecommunication costs, merchant processing fees and wages of network operations and customer support personnel, including call center wages. Connectivity costs include (i) fees paid to telephone companies for subscribers’ dial-up connections to our network; (ii) fees paid to backbone providers for connections from our network to the Internet; and (iii) equipment and tower lease costs for our new wireless networks.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of creative and production costs, costs of media placement and management salaries. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative salaries, professional services, rent and other general office and business expenses.
Bad debt expense consists primarily of customer accounts that have been deemed uncollectible and will potentially be written off in future periods, net of recoveries. Historically, the expense has been based on the aging of customer accounts whereby all customer accounts that are 90 days or older and certain other accounts, as necessary, have been accounted for as a bad debt expense.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the capital lease term, as appropriate. Data communications equipment, computers, data servers and office equipment are depreciated over three years. We depreciate furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements over five years. Amortization expense consists of the amortization of subscriber acquisition costs.
Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

Total revenue.Total revenue decreased by $233,000 or 8.4%, to $2,554,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $2,787,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The Company’s subscriber count decreased by 9,000 or 16.4%, to 46,000 as of March 31, 2006 compared to 55,000 as of March 31, 2005. The decrease in subscriber counts is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other providers’ broadband services. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the loss of dial-up customers partially offset by an increase in wireless subscribers. Wireless equipment reseller revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $281,000 compared to $216,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in subscriber count is primarily attributed to the loss of dial-up customers.
Connectivity and operations.Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $269,000, or 14.0%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Wages decreased by approximately $314,000 due to several reductions in force since March 2005 offset by severance costs of
11
approximately $50,000 incurred in connection with the reduction-in-force carried out by the Company in January 2006. Additional decrease of approximately $116,000 relates primarily to the consolidation of internet and telephone connections and circuits to more closely align with demand, as well as the renegotiation of contracts with several of our major telecom vendors. Sales tax expense decreased $25,000 related to prior period sales tax audits. These decreases are offset by increases in wireless installation costs, tower rents and wireless CPE (customer premises equipment) of approximately $136,000. As a percentage of total revenue, connectivity and operations expense decreased to 64.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from 69.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 due to lower margins on the wireless equipment reseller revenue offset by the decrease in revenues.
Sales and marketing.Sales and marketing expense decreased by $146,000, or 80.7%, to $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $181,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease relates primarily to decrease in wages and payments to marketing consultants of approximately $119,000, which is the result of previous reductions in force. Additionally, there was a decrease in billboard and mass marketing costs totaling $27,000. Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 also includes severance costs, as a result of the reduction in force, of approximately $4,000.
General and administrative.General and administrative expense increased by $107,000 or 14.2%, to $858,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $751,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily a result of increased operating costs of regional offices which were former headquarters for acquired entities. General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 also includes severance costs, as a result of the reduction in force, of approximately $21,000. Also, the Company incurred additional travel for Houston personnel to Dallas during the transition of the corporate office from Dallas.
Provision for bad debt expense.Provision for bad debt expense increased by $22,000, or 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is related to reserve for doubtful wireless equipment reseller receivables. As of March 31, 2006, the Company continues to be fully reserved for all customers accounts that are at least 90 days old.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $49,000 or 26.6% to $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $184,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase relates to additions in fixed assets through both acquisitions and new product development including the deployment of new wireless technology.
Interest expense (income), net.For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded approximately $14,000 in interest expense and approximately $12,000 in interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded approximately $12,000 in interest expense and approximately $6,000 in interest income. The interest expense recorded relates to interest charges on newly issued and assumed debt related to acquisitions. Interest income represents interest earned on the Company’s money market accounts.

Total revenue.Total revenue decreased by $386,000, or 4.8%, to $7.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, from $8.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The Company’s subscriber count decreased by 9,000 or 16.4%, to 46,000 as of March 31, 2006 compared to 55,000 as of March 31, 2005. The decrease in subscriber counts is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other providers’ broadband services. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the loss of dial-up customers partially offset by an increase in wireless equipment reseller revenue and to a lesser extent from an increase in wireless subscribers. Revenue from wireless equipment reseller revenue was approximately $938,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $296,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The Company became a wireless access provider in September 2004 and in November
13
2004 became a wireless equipment reseller. The decrease in subscriber count is primarily attributed to the loss of dial-up customers.
Connectivity and operations.Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $150,000, or 3.1%, to $4.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 from $4.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in expense relates primarily to increases in installation costs and wireless reseller cost of sales offset by decreases in wage expense and connectivity costs. Wage expense decreased by approximately $655,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005 primarily as a result of the staff reductions carried out by the Company in the spring of 2005 and again in the three months ended March 31, 2006. Wage expense includes severance costs of approximately $50,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. Connectivity costs decreased by approximately $460,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, primarily as a result of the consolidation of internet and telephone connections and circuits to more closely align with demand.
Decreases in wages and connectivity from 2004 to 2005 were offset primarily by increases in cost of sales related to the ramp up of wireless installations at the acquired regional locations and the costs of sales for the wireless reseller business. Tower rents, installation costs and wireless CPE (customer premise equipment) costs of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 totaled approximately $375,000, compared to $114,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. Wireless equipment reseller cost of sales increased by $687,000, or 256%, to $955,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, from $268,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, due to the increase in wireless equipment reseller revenue.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, connectivity and operations expense also includes sales tax expense of approximately $45,000 related to a sales tax audit.
Sales and marketing.Sales and marketing expense decreased by $299,000, or 60.1%, to $199,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $498,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease relates primarily to decreases in staffing and also decreases in advertising costs incurred in the nine months ended March 31, 2006.
General and administrative.General and administrative expense increased by $207,000, or 9.5%, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, from $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily a result of expenses incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2006 in connection with the additional travel for Houston personnel to Dallas during the transition of the corporate office from Dallas, as well as moving expense for relocating the corporate office. General and administrative expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 also includes severance costs, as a result of the reduction in force, of approximately $21,000 and $3,000, respectively.
Provision for bad debt expense.Provision for bad debt expense increased by $53,000, for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, compared to bad debt recoveries of $4,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, mainly related to wireless equipment reseller receivables which are fully reserved for. As of March 31, 2006, the Company continues to be fully reserved for all customer accounts that are at least 90 days old.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $252,000, or 61.5%, to $662,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, from $410,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The increase relates primarily to increased amortization expense related to subscriber acquisition costs.
Interest expense (income), net.For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded approximately $63,000 in interest expense and approximately $33,000 in interest income. For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded approximately $27,000 in interest expense and approximately $21,000 in interest income. The interest expense recorded in these periods relates to interest charges on newly issued and assumed debt related to acquisitions. Interest income represents interest earned on the Company’s money market accounts.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations to date primarily through (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) public and private sales of equity securities and (iii) loans from shareholders and third parties.
Cash used in operating activities is net (loss) income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, cash used in operations was $435,000 compared to cash used in operations of $145,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, adding non-cash items back to the net loss results in net income of $303,000 which was used primarily for

purchases of inventory and increases in prepaids and to decrease accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred revenue. Inventory, which primarily includes modems and wireless access radios, increased in the nine months ended March 31, 2006 due to the new computer centers, as well as, the Company expanding its wireless equipment reseller business. For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, net income plus non-cash items totaled $470,000 which was used primarily to offset the increase in prepaid and other current assets, decrease in deferred revenue, as well as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The decrease in deferred revenue from year to year is a result of the decrease in our subscriber count. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is a result of the Company paying vendors on a timelier basis and the resolution of billing disputes with telecommunication vendors.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $719,000 and $332,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and consisted of cash paid for acquisitions and fixed asset purchases related to the deployment of new wireless infrastructure.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $231,000 and $253,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and consisted primarily of proceeds from stock issuances offset by principal payments on debt and capital leases.
We estimate that cash on hand of $980,000 at March 31, 2006, along with anticipated reductions in cash used in operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months with regard to continuing operations in existing markets. Additional financing may be required to fund acquisitions or expansion into new markets. Continued decreases in revenues and subscriber count may ultimately adversely affect the liquidity of the Company.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we had significant use of cash related to acquisitions and fixed assets which increased our investing activity by $387,000 over the nine months ended March 31, 2005. We incurred severance costs of approximately $79,000 and significant costs for redundant payroll and other moving expense during the relocation of our corporate headquarters from Dallas to Houston. We have made significant decreases in our accounts payable to pay vendors on a timelier basis and significant increases in our inventories which total $513,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. We believe that while these contributed to our significant reduction in cash, these costs are not related to our ability to continue operations in existing markets. We will monitor our cash balance before proceeding with additional acquisitions or expansion.
If additional capital financing arrangements, including public or private sales of debt or equity securities, or additional borrowings from commercial banks, are insufficient or unavailable, or if we experience shortfalls in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, we will modify our operations and growth strategies to match available funding.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) in effect as of March 31, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2006, the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Company required to be included in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2006 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
