NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Nature of Business, Organization and Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
USURF America, Inc. (USURF), formerly Internet Media Corporation, was incorporated as Media Entertainment, Inc. in the State of Nevada on November 1, 1996. USURF currently provides wireless Internet access services to a small number of customers in Santa Fe, New Mexico. USURF's original purpose was to operate as a holding company in the wireless cable television and community (low power) television industries, as well as other segments of the communications industry. Until January 1999, the Company was in the development stage. In 1998 the Company changed its focus to concentrate its efforts in the wireless internet communications industry. The Company later ceased efforts to develop the wireless cable and low power television business areas and assigned all of its assets from the low power television activities to New Wave Media Corp. in exchange for a 15% ownership interest in New Wave Media Corp.
Effective December 31, 1996, USURF acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Winter Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 28, 1995 (WEI), and Missouri Cable TV Corp., a Louisiana corporation incorporated on October 9, 1996 (MCTV). WEI operates a community television station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; MCTV owns wireless cable television channels in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, which system has been constructed and is ready for operation, and Lebanon, Missouri. Effective October 8, 1998, the Company formed Santa Fe Wireless Internet, Inc. (Santa Fe), a New Mexico corporation, to hold the assets acquired from Desert Rain Internet Services. Santa Fe was organized to provide wireless internet access. The acquisition of WEI and MCTV by USURF was accounted for as a reorganization of companies under common control. The assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The acquisition of Santa Fe was accounted for as a purchase whereby cost is allocated to the assets acquired.
On January 29, 1999, the Company acquired all the stock of CyberHighway, Inc., a Boise, Idaho-based ISP, by issuing 2,000,000 shares of stock valued at approximately $15,940,000. In addition, 325,000 shares of common stock were issued in payment of a finder's fee arising out of this acquisition. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination.
In June 1999, USURF acquired all the stock of Santa Fe Trail Internet Plus, Inc., a Santa Fe, New Mexico-based ISP, by issuing 100,000 shares of stock valued at approximately $400,000. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination.
In July 1999, USURF acquired all of the stock of Premier Internet Services, Inc., an Idaho-based ISP, by issuing 127,000 shares of stock valued at approximately $508,000. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination.
In November 1999, the Company acquired the customer base of Cyber Mountain, Inc. a Denver, Colorado-based ISP, for 25,000 shares of stock valued at approximately $75,000. In December 1999, USURF acquired a portion of the ISP-related equipment and customer base of Cyber Highway of North Georgia, Inc., a Demorest, Georgia-based ISP for 54,000 shares of stock valued at approximately $212,000.
In February 2000, the Company acquired Spinning Wheel, Inc., an Idaho Springs, Idaho-based ISP, for 81,063 shares of stock valued at approximately $325,000. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination.
In February 2000, the Company acquired Internet Innovations, LLC, a Baton Rouge, Louisiana based web design company, for 50,000 shares of common stock valued at approximately $437,000. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of USURF and all wholly owned subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share has been computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding throughout the period.
Note 2. Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of USURF, including subsidiaries, and include the accounts of USURF and all of its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated.
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by USURF, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. 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 such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in USURF's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the SEC. Certain reclassifications and adjustments may have been made to the financial statements for the comparative period of the prior fiscal year to conform with the 2001 presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the entire year.

In connection with this transaction, the Company issued, as a finder's fee, 20,500 shares of common stock and 82,000 warrants with an exercise price of $.20 per share, exercisable for a period of three years from issuance.
Note 5. Other Material Stock Issuances
In January 2001, the Company issued 800,000 shares of its common stock as a commitment fee under a common stock purchase agreement to an unrelated company. See Note 7.
Note 6. Contingencies
A. Bankruptcy
On September 29, 2000, three creditors of CyberHighway filed an involuntary petition in the Idaho Federal Bankruptcy Court, styled In Re: CyberHighway, Inc., Case No. 00-02454. In December 2000, CyberHighway and the petitioning creditors filed a joint motion to dismiss this proceeding. The joint motion to dismiss requires the approval of CyberHighway's creditors. However, some of CyberHighway's creditors objected to the dismissal of the proceeding. The basis of the creditors' objection is their belief that CyberHighway's as-yet unasserted damage claims against the original petitioning creditors and their law firm and a claim against Dialup USA, Inc. represent CyberHighway's most valuable assets. These as-yet unasserted claims include claims for bad faith filing of the original bankruptcy petition as to the original petitioning creditors and their law firm, as well as claim for tortious interference with beneficial business relationships as to Dialup USA, Inc. The objecting creditors desire that all claims be adjudicated in the bankruptcy court. The Company believes it is likely that, at some time in the future, a final order of bankruptcy will be entered with respect to CyberHighway.
Subsequent to the involuntary bankruptcy, CyberHighway lost nearly all of its customers. Due to this loss of customer base, the Company's intangible assets relating to those customers were determined to be worthless. The write-off of the intangible assets reflected on the Company's December 31, 2000 balance sheet was $4,814,272 (net of deferred taxes). Due to this change in operating environment, the Company's revenues have decreased substantially as well as a decrease in expenses associated with the elimination of personnel previously required to operate the Company's network operations center, and accordingly goodwill has been impaired. The write-down of goodwill reflected on the Company's December 31, 2000, statement of operations was $4,425,037.
B. Potential Rescission Claims
Since January 2000, a total of 4,906,549 shares of the common stock of the Company may have been issued in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The aggregate value assigned to these shares upon their issuance totaled $5,090,252. It is possible that each of the issues of these shares has a potential claim for rescission of their respective issuance transactions.
The Company believes that it is unlikely that any of these potential rescission claims will be asserted against the Company.
Note 7. Financing Transaction
On May 9, 2001, the Company entered into an amended and restated common stock purchase agreement with an unrelated company to sell up to $10,000,000 of its common stock. The purchase price of the shares under this agreement will vary, based on future market prices of the Company's common stock. The agreement calls for the Company to meet certain requirements and maintain certain criteria with respect to its common stock in order to avoid an event of default, which include:
- | if for any legal reason the shares purchased cannot be sold pursuant to this prospectus for a period of 10 consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of 30 trading days in any 365-day period; |
- | suspension by the American Stock Exchange of Company common stock from trading for a period of 10 consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of 30 trading days in any 365-day period; |
- | the Company’s failure to satisfy any listing criteria of the American Stock Exchange for a period of 10 consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of 30 trading days in any 365-day period; |
- | (1) notice from the Company’s transfer agent to the effect that the Company or the transfer agent intends not to comply with a proper request for purchase of shares under the purchase agreement; (2) the Company’s failure to promptly confirm to the transfer agent the buyer's purchase notice; or (3) the failure of the transfer agent to issue shares of common stock promptly upon delivery of a purchase notice or upon delivery of a warrant exercise notice; |
- | any material breach of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the purchase agreement or any related agreements which has or which could have a material adverse affect on the Company, subject to a cure period of 10 trading days; |
- | if the number of shares to be issued to the buyer reaches an aggregate amount that would require shareholder approval under the principal market regulations (to the extent not previously obtained and then required) or otherwise cause us to breach the principal market rules and regulations; |
- | a default of any payment obligation of the Company in excess of $1.0 million; or |
- | commencement of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company. |
Upon the occurrence of the event of default, the buyer would no longer be obligated to purchase any additional shares of stock. The Company is currently in compliance with these criteria and expects to continue to comply in the future. The Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, SEC File No. 333-63846, effective date, June 29, 2001, relates to the shares of common stock being sold under that agreement. As of July 31, 2001, the Company had received $150,000 under this agreement.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Background
Our management has determined to commit all of our available resources to the exploitation of our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access products. We currently lack the capital necessary to implement our full-scale Quick-Cell business plan.
We were organized to operate in the wireless cable and community (low power) television industries. Due to existing market conditions, we have abandoned our wireless cable business. Because our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access system can be adapted for use on the wireless cable frequencies, we believe our frequencies possess future value. However, these frequencies will not be of value to us, unless and until the FCC approves two-way communications on them. Due to this circumstance, our wireless-cable-related assets were determined to be impaired and their $188,091 book value written off in December 2000.
Effective July 1, 1999, we assigned all of our television-related assets to New Wave Media Corp., in exchange for a 15% ownership interest in New Wave common stock. This business segment was discontinued as of that date and, since then, has not, and will not, generate any revenues. Our board of directors has declared a dividend with respect to all of the New Wave shares. These shares will be distributed to our shareholders, upon New Wave’s completion of a Securities Act registration of the distribution transaction. This registration proceeding has not been commenced by New Wave, due to a lack of funds necessary to pay related professional expenses. New Wave has advised us that it is making its best efforts to obtain capital for this purpose, but cannot provide an exact time by which this will occur.
Since 1998, we have acquired seven dial-up Internet service providers, including CyberHighway, the business of www.e-tail.com and a web design firm, none of which was an affiliated company nor were any acquired from an affiliate. All but one of these acquisitions were made for shares of our stock. All of these acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase, which means that we did not include past operations of the acquired businesses in our historical statements of operations. Also in connection with these acquisitions, we recorded large amounts of amortizable customer base and goodwill values, as a result of the acquisitions’ valuations exceeding the values of the tangible net assets. At December 31, 2000, all of these values were written off, due to the demise of CyberHighway’s business. Please see the discussion under “CyberHighway Bankruptcy” below.
All of the customers of the acquired Internet access providers were assimilated into the dial-up operations of our CyberHighway subsidiary, which has no remaining customers – please see the discussion under “CyberHighway Bankruptcy” below.
Current Overview
Our management has committed all available current and future capital and other resources to the commercial exploitation of our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access products. It is these products upon which our future is based.
In May 2001, we entered into an amended and restated common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC. This agreement replaced a similar agreement entered into in October 2000. Pursuant to the agreement, Fusion Capital may purchase up to $10 million of our common stock. The shares of our common stock being issued under this agreement are the subject to an effective registration statement, SEC File No. 333-63846. As of July 31, 2001, we had received $150,000 under our agreement with Fusion Capital. Please see the discussion under the heading “Management’s Plans Relating to Future Liquidity”, for a more thorough explanation of the impact this agreement could have on our business. As we obtain this funding, we will pursue our wireless Internet business plan. We have commenced construction of Quick-Cell systems in three cities in South Texas, San Angelo, Del Rio and Fredricksburg. Also, we have commenced marketing of our Quick-Cell service through a reseller, although, to date, no sales have been made by this reseller. We will continue to need capital, as we continue to expand our wireless Internet business. We may never possess enough capital to permit us to earn a profit.
As CyberHighway’s business has become defunct while in bankruptcy, we have determined not to attempt to revive our dial-up Internet access business and, for the foreseeable future, we have abandoned development of our e-commerce business.
CyberHighway Bankruptcy
On September 29, 2000, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against CyberHighway in the Idaho Federal Bankruptcy Court, styled In Re: CyberHighway, Inc., Case No. 00-02454, by ProPeople Staffing, CTC Telecom, Inc. and Hawkins-Smith. In December 2000, CyberHighway and the petitioning creditors filed a joint motion to dismiss this proceeding. The joint motion to dismiss requires the approval of CyberHighway’s creditors. However, some of CyberHighway’s creditors have objected to the dismissal of the proceeding. The basis of the creditors’ objection is their belief that CyberHighway’s as-yet unasserted damage claims against the original petitioning creditors and their law firm and a claim against Dialup USA, Inc. represent CyberHighway’s most valuable assets. These as-yet unasserted claims include claims for bad faith filing of the original bankruptcy petition as to the original petitioning creditors and their law firm, as well as a claim for tortious interference with beneficial business relationships as to Dialup USA, Inc. The objecting creditors desire that these claims be adjudicated in the bankruptcy court. It is likely that, at some time in the future, a final order of bankruptcy will be entered with respect to CyberHighway. No prediction of the timing of such an order can be made, although we believe that such an order would come only after the final adjudication of the claims described above.
The January 1999 acquisition of CyberHighway fundamentally altered our company. Our annual revenues went from nearly zero to about $2.5 million. Throughout 2000, operating losses at CyberHighway, primarily personnel costs and leased telephone-line charges, steadily increased, while revenues began to decrease slightly each quarter. This trend continued until September 2000.
As a means to achieve immediate cost savings at CyberHighway, in September 2000, the following actions were taken:
- | CyberHighway sold its affiliate-ISP business for $40,500, in cash; and |
- | CyberHighway contracted with Dialup USA for all “backroom” and customer support services, which took effect at the end of October 2000. |
These actions did reduce monthly operating costs by approximately $50,000.
However, the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding started the demise of CyberHighway’s business, in effect rendering our September 2000 actions meaningless. Since that time, CyberHighway’s company-owned dial-up customer base has gone from approximately 8,500 to none. The filing of the involuntary bankruptcy and CyberHighway’s switch-over to the network of Dialup USA were the primary causes of CyberHighway’s customer base demise. We will not apply any available future capital to the revitalization of our dial-up Internet access business.
This sudden and permanent demise of CyberHighway’s customer base has rendered our intangible assets relating to those customers to become worthless. The write-off of these intangible assets totalled $4,814,272, net of deferred taxes, as reflected in our December 31, 2000, financial statements. Due to this change in operating environment, monthly revenues have decreased substantially, and, accordingly, goodwill has been impaired. The write-down of goodwill totalled $4,425,037, as reflected in our December 31, 2000, statement of operations.
Shareholder Loans - Conversion to Equity
In August 2000, our president, David M. Loflin, converted all loan amounts owed to him, including accrued interest, into a total of 774,162 shares of our common stock. The total amount of indebtedness converted to common stock was $967,703. Since August 2000, Mr. Loflin has made small loans to us to ease periods of restricted cash flow. At June 30, 2001, we owed Mr. Loflin $54,928.
Results of Operations
General. By the end of February 2001, CyberHighway had lost all of its dial-up Internet access customers and we do not foresee the revitalization of CyberHighway’s business. You should not purchase our common stock expecting that CyberHighway’s business will assist in making us profitable.
Our revenues for the first half of 2000 were derived from CyberHighway’s business. During the first half of 2001, we derived no revenue from CyberHighway’s business.
For the first six months of 2001, our revenues were dervied from our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access system in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With the demise of CyberHighway, any future revenues will be derived from sales of our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access service. We currently lack the capital necessary to pursue our Quick-Cell business plan on a full-scale basis, and we may never possess enough capital with which to exploit fully our Quick-Cell products, even though we have begun to obtain funds under our agreement with Fusion Capital. In this circumstance, it is likely that we would never earn a profit.
Before the demise of CyberHighway, our revenues were derived primarily from monthly customer payments for dial-up access and from per-customer royalty payments from our CyberHighway affiliate-ISPs.
Beginning in March 2000, we began initial Quick-Cell wireless Internet access operations in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Currently, we have approximately 120 Quick-Cell customers. Throughout 2000, these customers were in their one-year “free-use” period. Beginning in March 2001, we began to bill the customers who had completed their one-year of free use. The lack of growth of our wireless Internet access business during 2000 is due to the fact that our available monies were applied to CyberHighway expenses and corporate overhead. We had no available capital to apply to the expansion of the Santa Fe market.
Since June 30, 2001, we have begun construction of Quick-Cell wireless Internet access systems in three South Texas cities. Customers are expected to begin to be placed on these systems in August 2001. We are planning to construct additional Quick-Cell systems throughout the remainder of 2001 and the first half of 2002. We cannot predict the number of customers we will secure during the remainder of 2001.
In the middle of 2000, we began marketing our Quick-Cell systems to local exchange telephone companies, independent telephone companies, digital subscriber line resellers and Internet service providers. We sold three Quick-Cell systems in a short time, and received approximately 200 additional indications of interest via e-mail and telephone from other telecommunications companies and others, 25% of which our management considered to be of a serious nature. Due to a lack of capital, however, this marketing effort was suspended before we investigated the nature of the other inquiring companies. No paying customers use these systems, due to circumstances involving these companies that are beyond our control. During 2001, we do not expect to derive significant revenues from customer modem sales to these Quick-Cell purchasers.
In cities in which we construct company-owned Quick-Cell systems, we intend to employ telephone marketing as the initial means for acquiring customers and, later, mass media. We will employ a sales force that will focus primarily on potential business customers. This focus on business customers is based on our management’s informal study of Internet usage by businesses versus home users that revealed businesses’ higher demand for high-speed Internet access. Our management’s decision may prove to have been incorrect, which would significantly impair our ability to earn a profit. Our management believes, based on its collective business experience, that effective marketing techniques can overcome Quick-Cell’s lack of name recognition, although this belief may also prove to be incorrect. Our Quick-Cell business will not be able to succeed without additional capital.
In cities where a Quick-Cell reseller operates, we will not have final approval of the reseller’s marketing strategies. Our resellers will be permitted to market our Quick-Cell service in any commercially reasonable manner. We cannot, therefore, assure you that any of our resellers will ever achieve high enough sales levels that would permit us to earn a profit.
Under our Quick-Cell reseller agreement with Wireless WebConnect!, Inc., we expect to derive revenues as follows:
- | WebConnect’s purchase of each Quick-Cell cell site; |
- | WebConnect’s purchase of all customer modems; |
- | Charges for installation services on behalf of every customer acquired by WebConnect; and |
- | Monthly per-Quick-Cell-customer royalties – while we anticipate that this monthly per-customer royalty will average approximately $12.00, we cannot assure you that the monthly per-customer will be that high; in any event, given the number of customers that can use a single Quick-Cell cell site, approximately 2,000, the lowest monthly per-customer royalty to be paid by WebConnect will be about $9.00. |
We expect our revenues for all of 2001 to be significantly below those of 2000, since we no longer will derive revenues from the operations of CyberHighway. In 2001, we will produce significant revenues only if we are able to be successful in placing Quick-Cell service customers online during the last four months of 2001, of which there is no assurance.
Potential Rescission Claims. Since January 2000, a total of 4,906,549 shares of our common stock with an aggregate assigned value of $5,090,252 may have been issued in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. 4,776,549 of these shares were issued in payment of services or as bonuses to employees and 130,000 of these shares were issued for cash or underlie currently exercisable warrants, which were sold or will be sold for at total of $650,000 in cash. It is possible that each of the issuees of these shares has a potential claim for rescission of their respective issuance transactions. We do not possess capital with which to pay any such claims, if asserted, and, if such claims are asserted, it is possible that our then-available capital would become impaired and our future operating results would likely suffer.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2001, versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2000. During the 2000 period, all of our revenues were generated by CyberHighway’s dial-up Internet access operations. We derived our revenues from monthly customer payments for dial-up Internet access, which averaged approximately $18.00 per customer. We also derived revenue from per-customer royalty payments from our CyberHighway affiliate-ISPs, which averaged approximately $1.75 per customer. This affiliate-ISP business was sold in September 2000.
During the 2001 period, we had only small revenues from our wireless Internet access business. We derived no revenues from CyberHighway’s operations. Whether or not we obtain capital, our existing operations in Santa Fe will increase slightly from month to month, as our customers end their free-use periods and begin to pay for our wireless Internet access services.
Our revenues for all of 2001 can be expected to be significantly below our revenue levels of 2000. However, due to uncertainties relating to the timing of receipt of funds under the Fusion Capital agreement, we can make no prediction of our actual revenues.
Our operating results for the first half of 2001 and 2000 are summarized in the following table:
| First Half 2001 | First Half 2000 |
|
|
|
Revenues | $15,891 | $1,222,713 |
Cost of goods sold | 5,343 | 669,300 |
Gross profit | 10,548 | 553,413 |
Operating expenses | 1,595,954 | 7,192,219 |
Loss from operations | 1,585,406 | 6,638,806 |
Net loss | 1,585,406 | 5,706,493 |
Our net loss of $1,585,406 for the first half of 2001 was significantly less than our net loss for the 2000 period of $5,706,493. This reduced net loss is attributable primarily to:
- | Depreciation and amortization decreasing from $4,519,427 for the 2000 period to $19,293 for the 2001 period. This reduction is due to the demise of CyberHighway’s business and the write-off of all of our intangible assets associated with that business, which occurred during December 2000. We no longer amortize those intangible assets. |
- | Professional fees decreased from $1,216,695 in the 2000 period to $1,139,606 in the 2001 period. A portion of the current period’s professional fees is due to the issuance of 800,000 shares as a commitment fee under a common stock purchase agreement, which shares were valued at $248,000, as well as the monthly amortization of various consulting agreements under which we issued stock for services during 2000 and 2001. |
- | Salary and commissions fell from $810,889 in 2000 to $376,568 in 2001. Our lower salary and commissions during 2001 is attributable to CyberHighway’s demise, its personnel having been reduced from about 30 during the first quarter of 2000 to none, now. |
- | Rent expense decreased from $129,298 during the first quarter of 2000 to $12,492 during the 2001 period. This large decrease is the result of our abandoning all leased premises of CyberHighway, following the filing of the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding. Our monthly lease expense for the remainder of 2001 will remain at current levels. |
- | Other expenses fell from $496,915 in 2000 to $47,995 in 2001. The reduction in this line item is attributable to the demise of CyberHighway’s business, as well as our severe lack of capital during the last half of 2000 and most of the first half of 2001. |
Our statements of operations reflect an income tax benefit of $953,192 for the 2000 period and no such benefit for the 2001 period. This income tax benefit was attributable to the difference in the bases of our acquired customer bases for book versus tax purposes. Since our intangible assets were completely written-off as of December 31, 2000, we no longer derive any similar income tax benefit.
Beginning in September 2001, our operations will begin to reflect the completion of current Quick-Cell system construction efforts, as customers begin to be placed online. However, we cannot predict our results of operations for the remainder of 2001. However, our revenues for all of 2001 will be substantially below our 2000 revenues.
During the first half of 2001, we issued 630,000 shares of common stock under four separate consulting agreements; these shares were valued for financial accounting purposes at approximately $250,000, in the aggregate. This amount will be expensed in equal monthly amounts during 2001 and 2002. Subsequent to June 30, 2001, we issued 600,000 shares under two separate consulting agreements; these shares have been valued for financial accounting purposes at approximately $200,000, in the aggregate, and will be expensed in equal monthly amounts during the remainder of 2001 and a portion of 2002.
During the first half of 2000, we issued 320,000 shares of common stock under four separate consulting agreements; these shares were valued for financial accounting purposes at $1,415,000, in the aggregate. This amount was expensed in equal monthly amounts during 2000 and part of 2001.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General. Since our inception, we have had a significant working capital deficit. Following the CyberHighway acquisition and until the recent demise of CyberHighway’s business, we generated significant monthly revenues, yet continued to have a working capital deficit. Currently, we are substantially illiquid, although we do possess approximately $50,000 in cash, the result of sales of our common stock pursuant to our agreement with Fusion Capital. Without additional capital, it is possible that we would be forced to cease operations.
Our Capital Needs. To sustain our current level of operations for the next twelve months, we will require additional capital of approximately $300,000. To accomplish our goals of expanding our Quick-Cell business, we will require at least $2.0 million. If we are unable to obtain this needed capital, we could be forced to cease our operations.
Currently we do not possess enough capital to accomplish our goals for our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access business, including the construction of Quick-Cell systems. When we refer to the construction of a Quick-Cell system in any city, that process requires the following expenditures:
- | A single Quick-Cell cell site, including a Quick-Cell server modem, parts and configuration – projected average cost: $12,000; |
- | Tower lease site – projected average cost: $500 per month; |
- | Direct T1 telephone line connection to the Internet – projected average cost: $1,200 per month; and |
- | Initial inventory of customer modems – approximate cost: $70,000. |
Each Quick-Cell cell site added to an existing system will cost approximately $12,000 for the server modem, parts and configuration, plus tower lease costs and, if customer usage requires, the cost of a direct T1 telephone line connection to the Internet.
Because we are now receiving funds pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement, we expect to have enough money to pay for the construction of the initial Quick-Cell cell site in at least three markets per month. We cannot assure you that we will be able to construct Quick-Cell cell sites at that rate.
In light of the relatively small amount of capital required to construct each Quick-Cell cell site, we believe that the expected funding under the Fusion Capital agreement would provide us with enough capital to construct the initial Quick-Cell cell site and commence marketing activities in approximately 60 markets. With the Quick-Cell construction permitted by this amount of capital, we will be able to determine whether our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access business is a viable business, as presently offered. However, the funds expected under the Fusion Capital agreement will not be adequate for us to pursue our complete Quick-Cell business plan, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital when needed. Our inability to obtain further capital when needed would lessen our chance of earning a profit, as we would become illiquid.
Proceeds from the Fusion Capital Agreement. Beginning in July 2001, we began to receive the first funds of up to $10 million under our agreement with Fusion Capital. Assuming we receive the entire $10 million under that agreement, of which there is no assurance, we anticipate that we will apply these funds as follows:
Purchase of Quick-Cell Equipment | $6,000,000 |
Construction of Quick-Cell Systems | 1,300,000 |
Marketing | 1,000,000 |
General and Administrative Expenses | 200,000 |
Finder’s Fee | 800,000 |
Working Capital | 700,000 |
Total | 10,000,000 |
Should all of our outstanding warrants, including all of the warrants to be issued in connection with the Fusion Capital agreement, be exercised, we would receive cash proceeds of approximately $2,540,000. Funds received from the exercise of warrants would be used to purchase Quick-Cell equipment, to construct Quick-Cell systems, to market our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access service and for working capital.
You should note that we may never receive any of the funds discussed above. Our failure to obtain capital from these sources could cause us to cease our operations.
Potential Rescission Claims. Because we lack the capital to pay any potential claims for rescission that may be asserted by some of our shareholders, any such claim made against us could negatively impact our ability to continue in business. These claims relate to a total of approximately 4,900,000 shares valued at approximately $5,100,000. We do not possess capital with which to pay any such claims, if asserted, and, if such claims are asserted, it is possible that we would be forced to cease operations, as our then-available capital could become severely impaired.
June 30, 2001. Historically, we have had a significant working capital deficit. At June 30, 2001, our working capital deficit was $1,674,420, which is higher than our $1,517,164 deficit at December 31, 2000. Increases in accrued payroll, other current liabilities and notes payable to shareholder were the primary causes of our larger working capital deficit. These increases in liabilities offset our receipt of cash pursuant to private sales of securities of $251,000 during the first half of 2001. Most of our accounts payable are accounts payable of CyberHighway. Without additional capital, our working capital deficit can be expected to become larger each quarter.
The following table sets forth our current assets and current liabilities at June 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000:
| | 6/30/01 | 12/31/00 |
| |
|
|
Current Assets | Cash | $19,593 | $1,088 |
| Accounts Receivable | 0 | 0 |
| Inventory | 241,378 | 246,721 |
| | | |
Current Liabilities | Disbursements in excess of cash balances | $42,469 | $42,469 |
| Accounts payable | 1,476,688 | 1,472,030 |
| Accrued payroll | 255,732 | 158,262 |
| Other current liabilities | 61,824 | 41,824 |
| Property dividends payable | 43,750 | 43,750 |
| Notes payable to stockholder | 54,928 | 6,638 |
Our accrued payroll at June 30, 2001, as well as at December 31, 2000, is attributable primarily to accrued salary of our president and two of our vice presidents.
The increase in notes payable to stockholder, from $6,638 at December 31, 2000, to $54,928 at June 30, 2001, represents loans made to us by our president, David M. Loflin. All of this indebtedness is due on demand and bears interest at 8% per annum. The funds loaned during the first half of 2001 were used primarily for operating expenses. Mr. Loflin has advised us that he does not intend to demand payment of his loans, until their repayment would not adversely affect our financial position. Without outside funding, it is possible that Mr. Loflin may loan us additional funds, though no assurance or prediction can be made in this regard.
In addition to Mr. Loflin’s loans, during the first half of 2001, we obtained a total of $302,000 in cash from private sales of our securities.
The funds received were used for working capital and for the initial costs associated with the establishment of a new company-owned Quick-Cell wireless Internet access system.
Without obtaining at least $1,000,000 in new capital, we will continue to have a significant working capital deficit and will not be able to operate from a position of liquidity. This will impair our ability to pursue our Quick-Cell business plan and, thus, our ability ever to earn a profit.
If we are unable to obtain significant additional capital, it is possible that we would be forced to cease operations.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. During the first half of 2001, our operations used $330,185 in cash compared to cash used of $540,572 during the first half of 2000. In both periods, the use of cash in operations was a direct result of the lack of revenues compared to our operating expenses, particularly salary and commissions. We do not expect operating activities to provide cash during the remainder of 2001.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. During the first half of 2001, our investing activities used 1,600 in cash. In the first half of 2000, we used cash of $179,000 in our investing activities, where our equipment purchases were offset, in part, by cash acquired in acquisitions. We cannot predict our cash flows from investing activities for the remainder of 2001, although it may be significant, due to our agreement with Fusion Capital.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. For the first half of 2001, our financing activities provided $350,290 in cash. Of this amount, $48,290 is attributable to loans from our president and $302,000 is attributable to private sales of securities. For the first half of 2000, our financing activities provided $686,897 in cash, $240,000 of which is attributable to private sales of our securities and $463,900 of which is attributable to loans from our president. We continue to seek capital and cannot, therefore, predict future levels of cash flows from financing activities, although we expect to derive significant cash under our agreement with Fusion Capital.
Management’s Plans Relating to Future Liquidity
To sustain our current level of operations for the next twelve months, we will require additional capital of approximately $300,000. To accomplish our goals of expanding our Quick-Cell business, we will require at least $2.0 million.
Our best opportunity for obtaining needed funds is pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement. The following summarizes the important terms under the Fusion Capital agreement:
- | Fusion Capital may purchase up to $10 million of our common stock; |
- | The selling price to Fusion Capital will be equal to a price based upon the future market price of the common stock without any fixed discount to the market price; |
- | We have the right to require Fusion Capital to purchase up to $20,000 each trading day during the agreement; |
- | Should our stock price be $5.00 or higher for five consecutive trading days, we have the right to require Fusion Capital to purchase up to the full remaining portion of the $10 million commitment; and |
- | During the term of the Fusion Capital agreement, we may not issue, or agree to issue, any variable-priced equity or variable-priced “equity-like” securities, unless we have obtained Fusion Capital's prior written consent. |
Should we obtain at least $2.0 million under the Fusion Capital agreement, we expect that we will be able to accomplish our two primary objectives:
- | Placing at least 20,000 customers on our Quick-Cell systems during the next year; and |
- | proving the commercial viability of our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access service. |
We cannot assure you that we will accomplish these objectives.
Currently, we have no other sources for funding on the scale of the Fusion Capital transaction.
If we do not obtain the necessary funding, we would be forced to cease operations.
Capital Expenditures
During 2000, we made approximately $195,000 in equipment purchases, approximately 40% for wireless Internet equipment and approximately 60% for needed equipment in our network operations center. We currently have no capital with which to make any significant capital expenditures. As we obtain funds under the Fusion Capital agreement, we will be able to make major expenditures on Quick-Cell-related equipment, as described above. However, without additional capital, we will make no capital expenditures.
CERTAIN STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” ARE “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND ARE, THUS, PROSPECTIVE. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM FUTURE RESULTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF SUCH RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS IS OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN CAPITAL IN AMOUNTS NECESSARY FOR US TO ACCOMPLISH OUR PLAN FOR THE EXPLOITATION OF OUR QUICK-CELL WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS PRODUCTS, AS WELL AS CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE OF THESE PRODUCTS.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
CyberHighway Involuntary Bankruptcy
On September 29, 2000, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against CyberHighway in the Idaho Federal Bankruptcy Court, styled In Re: CyberHighway, Inc., Case No. 00-02454. The petitioning creditors were ProPeople Staffing, CTC Telecom, Inc. and Hawkins-Smith. In December 2000, CyberHighway and the petitioning creditors filed a joint motion to dismiss this proceeding. The joint motion to dismiss requires the approval of CyberHighway’s creditors. However, some of CyberHighway’s creditors have objected to the dismissal of the proceeding. The basis of the creditors’ objection is their belief that CyberHighway’s as-yet unasserted damage claims against the original petitioning creditors and their law firm and a claim against Dialup USA, Inc. represent CyberHighway’s most valuable assets. These as-yet unasserted claims include claims for bad faith filing of the original bankruptcy petition as to the original petitioning creditors and their law firm, as well as claim for tortious interference with beneficial business relationships as to Dialup USA, Inc. The objecting creditors desire that these claims be adjudicated in the bankruptcy court. It is likely that, at some time in the future, a final order of bankruptcy will be entered with respect to CyberHighway, no prediction of the timing of such an order can be made, although we believe that such an order would come only after the final adjudication of the claims described above.
Other Litigation
In November 2000, CyberHighway requested and received a temporary restraining order against Darrell Davis, formerly one of our officers, and his wife, Deanna Davis. We have alleged that the Davises have diverted dial-up customers from CyberHighway to a company controlled by him, all while he was an employee of USURF America. We expect that a hearing for our motion for a permanent injunction will occur in the very near future. In addition, we are seeking monetary damages in this action. This case is in its early stages and no prediction as to its final outcome can be made. This case is styled: CyberHighway, Inc. versus Deanna Davis, individually and d/b/a Cyber-Trail, Inc., and Darrell D. Davis, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana.
In January 2001, we instituted arbitration proceedings against Christopher L. Wiebelt, our former vice president of finance and chief financial officer. We have alleged that Mr. Wiebelt violated certain terms of his employment agreement and are seeking damages resulting from those violations. This case is in its early stages and no prediction as to its outcome can be made. This case is styled: USURF America, Inc. versus Christopher L. Wiebelt, American Arbitration Association, Case No. 71-160-00087-01.
Possible Claim
Some time in the future, it is possible that we will enter into arbitration proceedings with Commonwealth Associates. The dispute revolves around Commonwealth’s claim that we owe it approximately 127,000 shares of our common stock. It is our position that Commonwealth is entitled to any shares and will vigorously defend our position in arbitration. We cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration proceeding.
Potential Legal Proceeding
In addition to CyberHighway’s cause of action against Dialup USA, it is the intention of USURF America to pursue damage claims against Dialup USA for tortiously interfering with the beneficial business relationships between CyberHighway and its customers. These claims arise out of Dialup USA’s actions on behalf of one of our former officers, which were designed to divert customers to a company controlled by him. Our claim against Dialup USA will be for approximately $2 million. We have not established a date by which we intend to commence this legal proceeding.
Item 2. Changes in Securities.
During the three months ended June 30, 2001, we issued securities as follows:
1.(a) Securities Sold. In April 2001, we issued 300,000 shares of Common Stock.
(b) Underwriters and Other Purchasers. Such shares were issued to IBC.TV, LLC.
(c) Consideration. Such shares were issued under a consulting agreement and valued at $.61 per share.
(d) Exemption from Registration Claimed. The Company relied upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but this exemption may not have been available.
