NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by IElement Corporation and Subsidiary (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2006 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.
The management of the Company believes that the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
MK Secure Solutions Ltd. was established as a messaging security and Management company. On March 25, 2004, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, Global Diversified Acquisition Corp. ("GDAC"), acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of MK Secure Solutions Ltd ("MKSS"), a holding company incorporated on March 11, 2003, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The transaction was effected by the issuance of shares such that the former MKSS shareholders owned approximately 90% of the outstanding MailKey stock after the transaction. GDAC then changed its name to MailKey Corporation ("MailKey").
The Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer resigned in September 2004 and the Company's Chief Financial Officer and member of the Board resigned in November 2004. Both positions have been filled by the Company's founder and deputy chairman.
In the first quarter of 2005 the Company was unable to continue funding the development of its messaging security solutions, and the rights were transferred to the development team in return for the cancellation of most of the liabilities which the Company owed to them. The Company retains an interest of 20% in the messaging security solutions; however to date there has been no commercialization of the solutions. In the first quarter 2005 the Company sold its insolvent British Virgin Islands subsidiary, MK Secure Solutions Limited, for $1 to a UK based accounting firm, SS Khehar & Company. SS Khehar & Company has agreed to deal with the winding up of the former subsidiary, for a fee of $1,800.
On November 9, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the MailKey Corporation, MailKey Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary ("Merger Sub"), Inc., a Nevada Corporation, IElement, Inc. ("IElement") and Ivan Zweig, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of IElement. This transaction closed in January 2005. At the closing of the Merger, Merger Sub was merged into IElement, at which time the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and IElement now continues as the surviving company. The Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse merger under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, IElement will be treated as the continuing entity for accounting purposes and the historical financial statements presented will be those of IElement.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, MailKey issued its common stock, $.001 par value per share, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of IElement. The exchange ratio setting forth the number of shares of MailKey common stock issued for each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of IElement was 3.52 shares of MailKey common stock for each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of IElement.
IElement, incorporated in Nevada on December 30, 2002, is a facilities-based nationwide communications service provider that provides state-of-the-art telecommunications services to small and medium sized enterprises ("SMEs"). IElement provides broadband data, voice and wireless services by offering integrated T-1 lines as well as Layer 2 Private Network solutions that provide SMEs with dedicated Internet access services, customizable business solutions for voice, data, wireless and Internet, and secure communications channels between the SME offices, partners, vendors, customers and employees without the use of a firewall or encryption devices. IElement has a network presence in 18 major markets in the United States, including facilities in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Chicago. The Company started business in 2003.
In connection with the closing of the merger, MailKey entered into a letter of intent with Ivan Zweig and Kramerica Capital Corporation ("Kramerica"), a corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Zweig, which contemplates that MailKey and IElement will enter into a four year employment agreement with Kramerica and Mr. Zweig pursuant to which Mr. Zweig will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of MailKey and IElement. The letter of intent provides that Mr. Zweig will receive an annual base salary of $300,000. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Zweig will be entitled to annual performance bonuses with targets ranging from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 during the second, third and fourth years provided IElement achieves certain performance goals. If Mr. Zweig is terminated without cause, MailKey is obligated to pay the remaining salary owed to Mr. Zweig for the complete term of the employment agreement, to pay off all notes owed to Mr. Zweig or Kramerica, all outstanding options shall become fully vested, MailKey shall pay all earned performance bonuses and all accrued vacation. If Mr. Zweig is terminated for any reason other than cause, MailKey shall pay in full the notes owed to either Mr. Zweig or Kramerica Capital Corporation and at least 75% of the earned bonus plan set forth by the directors.

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Effective January 24, 2005, Mr. Zweig was also appointed to the Board of Directors of MailKey. Ivan Zweig has served as the Chief Executive Officer of IElement since March 2003. Mr. Zweig is also the Chief Executive Officer, director and sole shareholder of Kramerica, a personnel services corporation. Since December 1998, Mr. Zweig has served as the Chief Executive Officer and director of Integrated Communications Consultants Corp. ("ICCC"), a nationwide data carrier specializing in high speed Internet access and secure data transaction. ICCC provides IElement with resold telecom services and IElement pays ICCC approximately $97,000 on a monthly basis for such services. On October 1, 2004, ICCC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. On January 19, 2005, upon the consummation of the acquisition, IElement issued eight (8) promissory notes to, Kramerica, certain members of Mr. Zweig's immediate family and others in the aggregate amount of $376,956.16 (the "Notes") with no interest. Upon issuance, the Notes were payable in 36 monthly installments with the first payment commencing six months after the closing of the merger and were secured by substantially all of the assets of IElement. IElement did not make any payments on the Notes. On March 25, 2006 each of the Notes were cancelled and IElement issued new convertible promissory notes to the same individuals in the same principal amount of $376,956.16, again with no interest thereon. The first payment on each of the new convertible promissory notes is due in September 2006 with a total of 36 monthly installments through August 2009. The Lender has the right to convert all or a portion of the outstanding balance, at any time until the notes are paid in full, into IElement's common stock at a conversion price of $0.035 per share. Any past due balance on the old Notes was forgiven at the time of cancellation of the old Notes and issuance of the new convertible promissory notes. The new convertible promissory notes are secured by substantially all the assets of IElement, as were the original Notes. The aggregate of the Kramerica notes are $120,000 and were issued for services rendered prior to issuance. The $50,000 note was originally issued on June 1, 2004 for services prior to that date and was restated subsequent to the merger on January 19, 2005. The remaining $70,000 note was issued on January 19, 2005 for services rendered prior to that date. The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been presented on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
The Company received consent to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued from 100,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares, and consented to the authorization of 200,000,000 shares of Blank Check Preferred Stock. There are no current plans to designate any Blank Check Preferred Stock.
On August 1, 2005, the Company filed an Information Statement in the definitive form on schedule 14C with the SEC to change its name from MailKey Corporation to IElement Corporation. Concurrent with this name change, the Company received a new stock trading symbol (IELM.OB) on the NASD Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board.
On August 8, 2005, Tim Dean-Smith and Susan Walton resigned their positions on the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company. Tim Dean-Smith also resigned from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The resignations of Mr. Dean-Smith and Ms. Walton were consistent with the expectations of the parties pursuant to the consummation of the merger between IElement and the Company on January 19, 2005, and do not arise from any disagreement on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, nor regarding the general direction of the Company. Neither Mr. Dean-Smith nor Ms. Walton served on any subcommittees of the Board. Ivan Zweig, the current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company until a new Chief Financial Officer is found.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of IElement. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At various times throughout the year the Company had amounts on deposit at the financial institution in excess of federally insured limits.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company records its transactions under the accrual method of accounting whereby income is recognized when the services are provided rather than when billed or the fees are collected, and costs and expenses are recognized in the period they are incurred rather than paid for. In determining when to recognize revenue the Company relies on Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13. The Company uses four criteria in determining when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. First, the Company must have persuasive evidence of the existing of an arrangement. The Company utilizes written contracts with its customers to meet this criterion. Second, delivery must have occurred or services must have been rendered. The Company defers revenue from the date invoiced, usually 35-40 days before services are rendered, to the month services are deemed completely rendered, thereby satisfying this criterion. Third, the price must be fixed and determinable. The Company delivers invoices to every customer stating the exact amount due for services, thereby satisfying this criterion. Fourth, the company determines credibility of its customers and collectibility of its invoices by evaluating its ongoing history and relationship with each customer, the fact that each customer is dependant upon the Company to provide its telephone and internet services and, in many cases, the fact that the customer has a security or service deposit with the Company in the amount of one month's service charges. When the Company cannot determine that a particular customer is credible and a particular invoice is collectible, the company will not record this invoice as revenue until the payment is collected from that customer. Thus, the Company meets the fourth criterion that collectibility be reasonably assured.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)
Accounts Receivable
The Company factors 99% of its billings with an outside agency. The Company invoices its customers on the 28th of the month for services to be rendered two months subsequent to the billing date. The Company receives 75% of the aggregate net face value of the assigned accounts at the time of placement with the factor.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of customers billed in advance of revenue being earned.
Provision for Bad Debt
Under SOP 01-6 “Accounting for Certain Entities (including Entities with Trade Receivables), the Company has intent and belief that all amounts in accounts receivable are collectible. The Company has determined that based on their collections an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,165 and $8,151 has been recorded at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Bad debt expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $40,693 and $18,709, respectively.

Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the costs associated with advertising and marketing as incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses included in the statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $3,200 and $0, respectively.
Income Taxes
The income tax benefit is computed on the pretax loss based on the current tax law. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. No benefit is reflected for the three months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported for notes payable approximates fair value because, in general, the interest on the underlying instruments fluctuates with market rates.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Deduction is made for retirements resulting from renewals or betterments.
(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Historical net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reported a loss because to do so would be antidilutive for the periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payments," which establishes the accounting for employee stock-based awards. Under the provisions of SFAS No.123(R), stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method and, as a result, periods prior to March 31, 2006 have not been restated. The Company recognized stock-based compensation for awards issued under the Company's stock option plans in other income/expenses included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, no modifications were made to outstanding stock options prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and no cumulative adjustments were recorded in the Company's financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.
The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.
Stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0 and $57,047, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle in net income in the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” and permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have on its financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting, a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualified special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale or trading securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. Additionally, SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, permits an entity to choose either the use of an amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurements, permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for transactions entered into after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4- NOTES PAYABLE
The Company has several notes payable at June 30, 2006. On January 19, 2005, upon the consummation of the acquisition, IElement issued eight (8) promissory notes to, Kramerica, certain members of Mr. Zweig's immediate family and others in the aggregate amount of $376,956 (the "Notes") with no interest. Upon issuance, the Notes were payable in 36 monthly installments with the first payment commencing six months after the closing of the merger and were secured by substantially all of the assets of IElement. IElement did not make any payments on the Notes. On March 25, 2006 each of the Notes were cancelled and IElement issued new convertible promissory notes to the same individuals in the same principal amount of $376,956, again with no interest hereon. The first payment on each of the new convertible promissory notes is due in September 2006 with a total of 36 monthly installments through August 2009. The Lender has the right to convert all or a portion of the outstanding balance, at any time until the notes are paid in full, into IElement's common stock at a conversion price of $0.035 per share. Any past due balance on the old Notes was forgiven at the time of cancellation of the old Notes and issuance of the new convertible promissory notes. The new convertible promissory notes are secured by substantially all the assets of IElement as were the original Notes. The aggregate of the Kramerica notes are $120,000 and were issued for services rendered prior to issuance. The $50,000 note was originally issued on June 1, 2004 for services prior to that date and was restated subsequent to the merger on January 19, 2005. The remaining $70,000 note was issued on January 19, 2005 for services rendered prior to that date.

NOTE 8- GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained net operating losses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing.
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and acquire an operating, cash flow positive company.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Company Overview
IElement is a facilities-based nationwide communications service provider that offers telecommunications services to small and medium sized businesses ("SMBs"). As a facilities-based provider, we own our own network equipment including telephone switches. In other words, we sell local and long distance telephone service and Internet access primarily via digital T-1 connections and tailor the particular service to the customer's needs by regulating bandwidth, number of telephone lines, and type of service. Our Layer 2 Private Network ("L2PN") service allows businesses with multiple locations to connect all of their locations securely without the use of firewalls or encryption devices and without routing traffic over the internet. We have already developed our Voice over Internet Protocols ("VoIP") service and have successfully tested it internally. We have a network presence in 18 major markets in the United States, including facilities in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Chicago and smaller facilities in ten other cities.
Although we have a solid, steady revenue stream,
characterized by our base of customers which are under long-term contracts and most of which have been our customers for several years, revenue attrition is a universal, unavoidable trend in the telecommunications industry. Competition between providers for services that many small and medium sized businesses see as commodities leads customers to change providers based largely on price. The resulting effect is detrimental to our business model in two ways. First, our customers leave us for other providers and second, when we do renew our customers' contracts, we do so at rates up to 20 percent lower than they had been paying.
To combat this revenue attrition, we intend to hire a new sales force in the coming months and we will earmark $500,000 in cash to be raised through our upcoming call of warrants for this purpose. This will allow us to pursue new customers that more than replace the revenue lost to attrition. This sales force will be based in Chicago, the location of our smallest customer base and where we have the most underutilized network capacity, allowing us to turn a profit quicker than we could elsewhere and maybe within 6 months.
Our overall financial condition improved significantly with the recent private equity placement and the increased liquidity it brought. However, we do continue to use cash and at our current pace we would run out of cash this year if we were not able to successfully convert the warrants issued in the private placement, raise additional funds or acquire a cash flow positive company.
We intend to enhance our financial position by reducing and eliminating certain general and administrative expense items, defer salaries or eliminate costly vendors. These spending cuts would return the company to the break-even point or result in a net income. Because doing so would halt our growth plans, we do not intend to make these cuts unless we are unable to continue pursuing our growth model.
We continue to incur operating losses because we have readied the company for rapid growth "out of the gate" as soon as we convert the private placement warrants. We have the necessary equipment, infrastructure, personnel, experience and processes to handle a much higher volume of customers. If we cut back on these expenses before we have a chance to utilize them we will save money in the short term but seriously hinder our ability to grow.
We believe that the money we expect to receive from investors exercising their warrants to purchase our stock will be sufficient not only to stabilize our current revenue, but to rapidly grow our customer base and increase our revenue, provide a positive cash flow from operations and start earning a net income on a regular basis. If we are able to successfully convert most of the warrants outstanding and set aside $500,000 specifically for a new sales force in Chicago, we believe we will be able to become a profitable company within 6 months of that successful conversion. If we are unable to successfully convert a majority of the warrants, we will be forced to seek other debt or equity funding or to cut expenses by laying off employees or discontinuing certain services provided by our vendors.
Market trends in our industry are shifting towards Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and we have also developed our own VoIP product offering. VoIP has been gaining large scale acceptance as companies like Packet-8, Skype and Vonage continue to broadly advertise their services. These pioneering companies
have paved the way for smaller, more agile companies like us by spending their time and money developing working VoIP platforms and then exerting significant effort to spread the word about VoIP, thereby leading to the large scale acceptance of which we are now in the midst.
We believe that we see an excellent opportunity as a business VoIP provider since few of the major VoIP providers are targeting businesses. Our barrier to entry into VoIP was minimal when you consider the potential return. Since our network consulting company, Obelix, had already done all necessary research and development, we were able to upgrade our network to provide VoIP for a one time cost of $79,000 in equipment, which we funded from the proceeds of our recent private equity placement.
We compete with both competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) like ourselves, who lease certain access lines from incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), and the ILECs themselves. Some examples of our ILEC competitors are Verizon Communications and AT&T. Some examples of our CLEC competitors are XO Communications and CBeyond Communications. We also compete with internet service providers (ISPs), but since their product offerings are typically limited in comparison to ours, this competition has little effect on our operations or planning.
We provide our own in-house live technical support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, many of our customers know our employees by our first names and are much more comfortable working with a small, service-oriented company like IElement.
Our Plan of Operation
IElement is a facilities-based nationwide telecommunications communications service provider for small and medium sized enterprises. IElement, Inc., seeks to provide broadband data, voice and wireless services using integrated T-1 lines with a Layer 2 Private Network/Wide Area Network (WAN) solution to provide dedicated Internet access services, customizable business solutions for voice, data and Internet, and secure communications channels between our customers' offices, partners, vendors, customers and employees without the use of a firewall or encryption devices.
IElement has undertaken steps to present itself under the tradename IElement to its customer base and target market and will continue to take steps to notify, inform and/or promote the name of IElement. We now aim to grow the business of IElement and establish it as a profitable national added-value carrier.
On November 10, 2005, the Company announced its intention to enter into the Voice Over Internet Protocol ("VOIP") market. The Company subsequently purchased the equipment necessary to begin providing VOIP services and identified a partner with VOIP expertise to assist in the planning and implementation.
We purchased VoIP equipment and have identified a VoIP partner. The costs related to further development of our VoIP product are limited to our potential purchase of a new platform that will handle much more capacity than we currently can handle. That platform could cost up to $100,000 for what we would want to do.
We estimate the cost to enter the Chicago market to be approximately $500,000 from November 1, 2006 through August 30, 2007 before operations there become profitable. The $500,000 to start the sales force in Chicago covers all costs associated with acquiring a new office, staffing, training and managing a sales
force and installation engineers, acquiring additional bandwidth or connections to accommodate new customers there, paying commissions and agent fees. The Company's current offices and equipment will support the Dallas and Los Angeles service. We will however have increased overall costs for additional marketing, including telemarketing services. Our next target markets are smaller cities in the Midwestern region that have yet to be identified.
The Company expects that a budgeted amount of approximately $650,000 for monthly operations shall be sufficient for 18 months of operations, including the expansion into the Dallas, Chicago and Los Angeles markets.
Upselling added value managed services will not cost a significant amount of money and began on May 1, 2006.
The VoIP testing phase has been completed. We began aggressively marketing VoIP on May 1, 2006.
IElement's focus is to become a profitable national Communication Service Provider (CSP). IElement's added value, managed service strategy includes the potential development of additional subscription model services such as Managed Microsoft Exchange(tm), prepaid and postpaid cellular services, email and network security, residential/ business based wireless, and Managed Blackberry(tm) services. The development of these services would allow IElement to offer Small and Medium-sized Enterprises ("SMEs") the access to large enterprise type applications with little or no software purchase, hardware investment, upgrade concerns, or full-time
administration of these services. These sell-through services should increase the Average Revenue Per Customer ("ARPC"), as well as help improve customer retention.
As an "added-value" provider we intend to provide services that enhance our customers' ability to communicate on top of or along with basic internet access or telephone service.
The Company intends to:
-- Initially concentrate its resources on adding customers in the Dallas, Los Angeles and Chicago markets, while extending its sales reach to smaller as of yet unidentified cities in the Midwest region of the United States.
-- Build out the necessary infrastructure to sell IElement broadband services (wireless or wireline), as well as reselling voice services over the same T1 or wireless equivalent.
-- Upsell added value managed services to our current and future customer base to raise our ARPC. We believe that existing infrastructure can serve multiple new markets as they are brought online in advance of the need for additional capital expenditures or additional software licenses. The cost associated with this goal is minimal and our efforts are beginning immediately.
-- Seek acquisitions of wireless ISPs (WISPs) and other suitable telephony and/or data carriers in secondary and tertiary markets that can be layered onto the Company's current network including equipment and lines already owned or leased. We believe that such acquisitions would enable greater economies of scale and operating efficiencies. The Company is continuously exploring potential acquisitions in this regard.
-- Begin aggressively marketing VOIP to the Company's current and potential customers. The Company is currently working diligently to add a small VOIP customer base upon which it can use as a base to aggressively market and expand this base. We have already begun such efforts and will continue to do so in the future. As noted above, we are initially concentrating on adding customers in the Dallas, Los Angeles and Chicago markets.
Our focus is to become a profitable national Communication Service Provider (CSP) from California to Florida. Our added value, managed service strategy includes the potential development of additional subscription model services such as Managed Microsoft Exchange, prepaid and postpaid cellular services, email and network security, residential/ business based wireless, and Managed Blackberry(tm) services. The development of these services would allow us to offer SMBs access to Enterprise type applications with little or no software purchase, hardware investment, upgrade worries, or full-time administration of these services. These sell through services should increase the Average Revenue Per Customer, as well as help improve customer retention.
We anticipate that the number of people who we employ may increase substantially over the next 12 months as we continue to execute on our business plan.
The costs of implementing our business plan will be derived both from operating revenues and proceeds received from the exercising of warrants by the Selling Stockholders.
The building out of IElement's necessary infrastructure includes purchasing or leasing new telephone switches, the cost of which is expected to be in the range of $200,000 to $600,000 depending on whether we upgrade switches in one market or two and what features the new switches come with. We intend to begin building out infrastructure in September of 2006 and estimate completion by June of 2007.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Revenues were $1,023,204 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $1,215,479 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease was due to customer attrition resulting from the fact that we did not employ a dedicated sales force. We plan to hire a dedicated sales force this year.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues excluding depreciation was $667,622 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $739,614 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Depreciation applicable to cost of revenues was $49,613 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $46,006 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The lower cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was attributable to the fact that we had less revenue.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses excluding cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $604,161 as compared to $622,246 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease from the year earlier period was due to ongoing cost reduction measures.
GAIN (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS
Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $248,579 as compared to $146,381 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increased loss from the year earlier period was due to lower revenues resulting from the fact that we did not employ a dedicated sales force. We intend to hire a dedicated sales force this year.
Our net loss on an EBITDA basis for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $151,675. Our management uses EBITDA as a financial measure to compare our gain or loss from operations to other small businesses in the telecommunications industry, most of which are not required to publicly report their financial results and are thus less likely to have GAAP numbers available for comparison. The calculation and disclosure of EBITDA affords both our management and that of other companies a measure to more accurately compare our financial results with those of non-public reporting companies within our industry. EBITDA, as used in this section, excludes interest, taxes and depreciation from our net loss from operations and is meant only to supplement the financials in this periodic report that have been prepared using GAAP. Our presentation of EBITDA should in no way be considered more important, accurate or be displayed more prominently than our loss from operations. In reconciling EBITDA to our loss from operations, we provide the following table:
EBITDA ($151,675)
Interest Expense 475
Receivable Factoring Fees (Interest Expense) 22,380
Depreciation 74,049
Gain (Loss) from Operations ($248,579)
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $475, or $22,855 including factoring fees, as compared to $4,925, or $33,899 including factoring fees, for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Factor fees are very similar to interest expense.
NET INCOME (LOSS) APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCK
Net loss applicable to common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $248,579 as compared to $146,381 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Net loss per common share was $0.00 for both the three months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005. The net loss for both periods can be attributed to the fact that we have not employed a dedicated sales force and therefore have not been able to generate enough new revenue to cover our costs, which are largely fixed. We intend to hire a dedicated sales force this year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities and the utilization of short-term convertible debt. As of June 30, 2006 we had a cash balance of $222,811.
In order to facilitate working cash flow, we factor approximately 99% of accounts receivables for its customer billing with an outside agency, thereby receiving 75% of the aggregate net face value of the assigned accounts at the time of placement with the factor. We do not otherwise maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other
financial institution. To date, our capital needs have been principally met through the receipt of proceeds from factoring customer receivables and the sale of equity and debt securities.
In January 2006 the Company closed a private placement offering for an aggregate sale price of $1,579,375, of which up to 10% is subject to deduction for fees in connection with the private placement, and warrants for the purchase of and aggregate total of 22,562,500 at a strike price of $.10 per share. The proceeds of the private placement offering improved the Company's cash balance and if a majority of the warrants are exercised IElement will receive an additional $2,256,250 which would be more than sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash needs for its current operations as well as fund our planned sales expansion to the Chicago market. In addition, if only half of the warrants are exercised, IElement will be able to comfortably sustain its current operations.
In the event that none of the warrants are exercised, or only nominal number of the warrants are exercised, IElement will require additional funds, above its operating revenues, to sustain operations and grow the business, including expanding our sales presence to the Chicago market. In this event, IElement plans to seek additional capital in the form of additional private placements of its capital stock or short terms loans or both. In the event that IElement seeks additional capital through the sale of its stock, there will be a dilutive impact on its outstanding common stock.
As of June 30, 2006, our gross accounts receivable totaled $507,175. We have set aside an allowance of $12,165 against that balance for uncollectible accounts. The net amount we expect to receive is $495,010. As a telecommunications provider, we bill for our services up front, so therefore we have significant leverage to collect on our Accounts Receivable because, with proper dunning, we can discontinue our customers' telephone and internet services if they do not pay their bill.
As of June 30, 2006 IElement had total notes payable and outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $744,684.45 owed to 16 note holders. As of June 30, 2006 IElement was current in all obligations except for past due total payments of $7500. Only the two notes issued in June 2006 are interest bearing. The following is a more detailed discussion of the notes.
The issuance of new convertible promissory notes on March 25, 2006 in exchange for the previous promissory notes allowed IElement to extend the first payment date on all twelve of these Notes from February 2006 until September 2006 in exchange for the added conversion feature. The twelve Note Holders would be able to collectively convert their Notes into 16,001,519 shares of IElement common stock at a price of $0.035 per share. This could have a dilutive impact on the Company's outstanding common stock. If all 16,001,519 shares of common stock are converted, these shares would represent approximately nine (9%) percent of IElement's outstanding shares with IElement only receiving approximately half the market value for such shares, based on the current market price.
Two of the four remaining notes are held by Duane Morris ($34,631.29 as of June 30, 2006) and Palladian ($30,000 as of June 30, 2006). The Duane Morris note was issued in exchange for a settlement of disputed attorneys fees on August 16, 2005 and was originally agreed to be paid in nine monthly installments beginning on September 30, 2005 and ending May 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006 IElement is past due on its payments on the Duane Morris note, but has been paying $2500 per month and intends to continue to do so. The Palladian note was issued on August 29, 2005 and is being paid in fourteen monthly installments beginning September 5, 2005 and ending October 28, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, IElement is past due on the Palladian note but is making regular monthly payments in the amount of $2500.
IElement issued two new notes during the three months ended June 30, 2006. One, in the amount of $100,000, was issued on June 8, 2006 to Rhino Limited and bears a ten percent interest rate. It matures when IElement secures funding from exercise of outstanding warrants, expected this fiscal year. The other new note was issued on June 19, 2006 to Veronica Kristi Prenn. It bears a ten percent interest rate and matures on December 19, 2006.
IElement's total debt servicing requirements on the sixteen (16) outstanding promissory notes over the next twelve months is approximately $335,570. In particular, beginning in September 2006, IElement will begin debt service on the twelve (12) convertible promissory notes issued March 25, 2006 in the monthly amount of $15,557. In addition, within the next twelve months IElement will complete payments on the remaining principal balances owed to Duane Morris and Palladian ($64,631.29 as of June 30, 2006).
Although cash flow from current business operations alone would not likely be sufficient to satisfy IElement's current debt obligations. IElement intends to satisfy its debt repayment obligations through a combination of the following. First, through cash flows from current business operations. Second, IElement is actively seeking acquisitions of business with positive cash flow, which cash flow could assist in debt servicing requirements. Third, from the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. Fourth, renegotiating the terms of the debt obligations and in particular the debt obligations to Mr. Zweig and his family. Finally, IElement would not be required to make cash payments on those debt obligations which are converted. Twelve of the Notes may be converted at $.035 per share, which is currently half of the market price.
On February 14, 2006 we settled the breach of contract litigation against Communications Plus, Inc., a California company d/b/a Global Communications, ("Global") for $27,000 payable to Global Communications in periodic payments beginning February 14, 2006 and ending December 1, 2006.
On April 19, 2005 KK Solutions, Inc., a California corporation d/b/a Three 18, Inc. ("KK"), filed a complaint against us and CEO Ivan Zweig, individually, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, alleging breach of contract pursuant to a dispute regarding sales commissions due to KK. On May 2, 2006 we settled the litigation for a total settlement amount of $26,500, which has been paid in full. The case was dismissed with prejudice on July 11, 2006.
IElement is not aware of any undisclosed actual or contingent liabilities.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of June 30, 2006, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we were engaged in such relationships.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
NONE
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Generally, the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and internet based communications solutions industry is highly competitive and requires constant investment in research and development in order to keep pace with technology and competitors' products. Our success depends upon our ability to enter markets and establish a base level of customers sufficient to cover costs of opening and maintaining a market while seeking to expand both the customer base and products base. If we are unable to compete effectively or to obtain additional financing to fund future research and development and deployment expenditures, it would have a materially adverse effect on our business operations and would negatively affect our ability to effectively market and develop existing and future products.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ESTIMATES
Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
On July 14, 2006 our auditors identified a material weakness in our internal controls and procedures that resulted in the misstatement of our financial results. This material weakness began in March of 2003 and was the result of an ineffective segregation of duties and inadequate monitoring over financial reporting. One person, our controller, performed all of the significant accounting tasks, which impacted our ability to accurately report the recapitalization of ICCC in March 2003. Upon review of this transaction on July 14, 2006, a restatement was filed to correct the reporting of this transaction by removing those adjustments related to fair value and goodwill.
Since the material weakness originated in March 2003, we have hired two additional accountants to segregate the duties of the accounting staff and named a CFO, Ivan Zweig, who now monitors all financial reporting. In addition, we have since implemented a policy to have the full Board of Directors review both our quarterly and annual financial statements before filing.
Our internal accounting team now has both the personnel and the experience to recognize and record significant transactions according to GAAP and we have implemented a full review of all financial information by our Board of Directors as well as certification by our CFO. Management and the Board of Directors believe that the above remedies remediate this material weakness.
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13(a)-15e and 15(d) - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 10, 2006. They have concluded that, as of August 10, 2006 that our disclosures were effective to ensure that:
(1) That information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commissions' rules and forms, and
(2) Controls and procedures are designed by the Company to ensure that information required to be disclosed by IElement Corporation and its subsidiary, IElement Inc., in the reports it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding financial disclosure.
This term refers to the controls and procedures of a Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. They have concluded that, as of August 10, 2006 our disclosure and procedures were effective in ensuring that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the exchange act.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal controls over financial reporting
