NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-KA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 for Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair financial statement presentation have been made. The results of operations for an interim period may not give true indication of the results for the entire year.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, comprehensive loss was equal to the net loss amounts presented for the respective periods in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
LOSS PER SHARE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” requires dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented. Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that then shared in the income of the Company.
Unexercised Stock options to purchase 4,338,138 and 3,936,235 shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the exercise of the Stock options would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.
Unexercised warrants to purchase 15,827,780 and 8,948,709 shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the exercise of the warrants would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.
Net loss per common share calculations include provisions for Preferred Stock dividend in the amount of approximately $160,000 and $107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively. However, no dividends had been declared by the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has accumulated approximately $732,000 of Preferred Stock dividends.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery has occured or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. When significant, the Company records provisions against revenue for billing adjustments, which are based upon estimates derived from factors that include, but are not limted to, historical results, analysis of credits issued, current economic trends and changes in demand. The provisions for revenue adjustments are recorded as a reduction of revenue when incurred or ratably over a contract period, as applicable.
The Company derives revenue principally from international voice, including VoIP ,private networks, and Internet services. Variable revenue derived from international voice services is recognized upon completion of a call and is based upon the number of minutes of traffic carried. Revenue from monthly recurring service from long distance, private networks and Internet services are fixed and recurring in nature and are contracted over a specfic period of time. Advanced billings for monthly fees are reflected as deferred revenues and are recognized as revenue at the time the service is provided. VoIP services enable customers, typically international corporations or cable operators, to place voice calls anywhere in the world using their personal computer. The majoriy of the Company's VoIP services to consumers are prepaid which is initially recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues from VoIP services to consumers are recognized based upon the usage of minutes by the consumer.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. Other intangible assets consist primarily of the trade name and trademarks associated with the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Efonica FZ, LLC ("Efonica"). These long-lived assets are not amortized because they have indefinite lives. The remaining intagible asset acquired in the Efonica transaction is a customer list, which is being amortized using the straight-line method over the 10 year estimated useful life. Paragrah here
STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation under the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004) and the Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No.123R).The impact on the Company’s results of operations of recording Stock-Based Compensation expense for the three-months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,was approximately $114,000 and $138,000, respectively which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2008:
Activity | Number of Options | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Remaining Life |
Outstanding at January 1, 2008 | 3,116,676 | $ 2.43 | — |
Granted | 1,312,250 | $ 0.31 | — |
Cancelled or expired | (90,788) | $ 2.09 | — |
Outstanding at March 31, 2008 | 4,338,138 | $ 1.80 | 7.65 |
Exercisable at March 31, 2008 | 1,995,255 | $ 3.02 | 5.94 |
The Company calculated the fair value of each Common Stock option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model method with the following assumptions:
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
2008 | 2007 |
Dividend yield | 0.0% | 0.0% |
Stock volatility | 94.3% | 81.7% |
Average Risk-free interest rate | 2.79% | 4.52% |
Average option term (years) | 4 | 4 |
As of March 31, 2008 there was approximately $894,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock options granted under our Stock Incentive Plans, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim 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 interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. GOING CONCERN
At March 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $4,484,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $116,370,000. The Company has continued to sustain losses from operations. In addition, the Company has not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception. Management is aware that its current cash resources are not adequate to fund its operations for the remainder of the year. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company raised $1,787,000 net of expenses from sale of its securities through private placement. The Company’s long-term liquidity is partially dependent on its ability to successfully complete the rollout of its full suite of retail VoIP paid services and effectively market its paid services, in order to attain profitable operations in the future. The Company cannot make any guarantees if and when it will be able to attain profitability. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. No adjustment has been made in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

7. RECENTLY ISSUED AND ADOPTED AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). Among other changes, SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at fair value, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including earn-out provisions, and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and all other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141R is generally effective for business combinations occurring in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the effect of this recently issued standard on its future consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements and amendment of ARB No. 51" (“SFAS 160”). Among other items, SFAS 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the effect of this recently issued standard on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies to other accounting pronouncements where the FASB requires or permits fair value measurements but does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008. It did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position and did not result in any additional disclosures. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of FSP No. 157-2 will have on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This Statement allows all entities a one-time election to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value (the “fair value option”). The Company adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008, resulting in no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL MATTERS
On or about February 9, 2007, the Company filed a complaint against Patrick S. Dallas, InfoTel Holdings, Ltd., Phil Walton and John Does 1-5 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. vs. Patrick S. Dallas, et al., Index No. 2007001836) seeking damages associated with Mr. Dallas’ sale of Convergent Technologies Ltd. Stock to us and InfoTel’s breach of its October 2007 agreement to purchase Fusion Jamaica Limited’s equipment in Jamaica and assume the real property lease in Jamaica. The Company believes Mr. Dallas owns or controls InfoTel.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
LEGAL MATTERS (continued)
The Company is currently undergoing an audit by a regulatory agency that has not yet been concluded. Should the audit result in an unfavorable outcome; the Company estimates that the liability would be within the range of $14,000 to $100,000. However; the liability range is just an estimate and could differ from the actual result.
The Company is involved in other claim and legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of these cases will have a material effect of the Company’s consolidated financial position.
Due to the regulatory nature of the industry, the Company is periodically involved in various correspondence and inquiries from state and federal regulatory agencies. Management does not expect the outcome of these inquiries to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated operations or financial condition.
RESTRICTED CASH
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $417,000, of cash restricted from withdrawal and held by banks as certificates of deposit securing letters of credit. This restricted cash is required as security deposits for certain of the Company’s non-cancelable operating leases for office facilities and to secure a license to do business.
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company complies with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS No. 131 requires disclosures of segment information on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.
The Company has two reportable segments that it operates and manages which are organized by products and services. The Company measures and evaluates its reportable segments based on revenues and cost of revenues. This segment income excludes unallocated corporate expenses and other adjustments arising during each period. The other adjustments include transactions that the Chief Operating Decision Makers exclude in assessing business unit performance due primarily to their non-operational and/or non-recurring nature. Although such transactions are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated earnings. Each segment is managed according to the products, which are provided to the respective customers, and information is reported on the basis of reporting to the respective Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Company’s segments and their principal activities consist of the following:
VOICE TO CARRIERS
Voice to Carriers includes VoIP to carriers, which is the termination of voice telephony minutes by the Internet rather than older circuit-switched technology. VoIP permits a less costly and more rapid interconnection between our network and international telecommunications carriers. This segment also includes Traditional Voice (the termination of voice telephony minutes from or to the countries we serve, utilizing traditional Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) or “circuit-switched” technology. Typically, this will include interconnection with traditional telecommunications carriers either located internationally or those carriers that interconnect with us at their U.S. Points of Presence (POP) and provide service to other destinations. These minutes are sold to carriers on a wholesale basis.
CONSUMERS, CORPORATIONS AND OTHER
We provide VoIP services targeted to consumers and corporations. We offer services that permit our customers to originate calls via IP telephones or telephone systems and use the Internet to complete those calls to standard telephone lines anywhere in the world. We also provide PC-to-Phone services that allow consumers to use their personal computers to place calls to the telephone of the called party. For corporate customers, we offer fully hosted IP-PBX services, as well as IP trunking solutions and Internet access. In addition, we selectively offer point-to-point private lines, virtual private networking, and call center services to certain customers within our target markets.
The Company employs engineering and operations resources that service across multiple product lines. Depreciation and indirect operating expenses were allocated to each product line based upon their respective percent utilization of those resources. The amounts reflected as Corporate and unallocated represent those expenses that were not appropriate to allocate to each product line.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 17, 2008, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of $300,000 from two of its Directors: Philip Turits, and Marvin Rosen, as evidenced by two promissory notes. Both notes provide repayment of the principal balance plus an interest rate of 10% per annum on any remaining unpaid balance until the maturity date of May 17, 2008.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in another part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this report the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions as they relate to our management or us are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of the trends in operating results for any future period.
We seek to become a leading provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) video and other advanced Internet services to, from, in and between the developed markets of North America and Europe and emerging markets in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. Our strategy is to provide a full suite of VoIP video and other Internet based services to consumers and corporations in the emerging markets and their communities of interest around the world. We seek to create local partnerships to facilitate distribution of our services within our target countries. We also seek to create global partnerships to facilitate broader distribution of our services. We have spent approximately $40 million on the development and maintenance of our infrastructure and service offerings, and believe that our VoIP network is one of the best, most advanced, next generation networks of any major telecommunications carrier. We currently market VoIP services to consumers, corporations, government entities, Internet service providers, and distribution partners and telecommunications carriers seeking to communicate internationally. We target markets that we believe have: (i) barriers to entry, (ii) substantial growth prospects, (iii) an increasing number of corporations operating within them, (iv) high cost of traditional telecommunications services, and (v) a substantial quantity of voice and data traffic between the United States and Europe and emerging countries within our target markets. We currently have operating agreements with over 200 carriers and provide services to customers in over 100 countries.

REVENUES
Historically, we have generated the majority of our revenues from voice traffic sold to other carriers, with a primary focus in the last several years on VoIP terminations to the emerging markets. We focus on growing our existing customer base, which is primarily US based, as well as the addition of new customers, and the establishment of direct VoIP terminating arrangements with telecommunication carriers in emerging markets and around the world. Although we believe that this business continues to be of value to our strategy, ongoing competitive and pricing pressures have caused us to increase our focus on higher margin, value-added services (primarily VoIP to consumers and corporations which includes VOIP video and other advanced internet services), and market them to, or in conjunction with, distribution partners on a direct, co-branded or private label basis.
In an effort to further increase margins, expand our retail customer base, and develop more stable revenue streams, we have begun to focus significant effort and resources to build our VoIP business to consumers and corporations. While this does not yet represent a significant portion of our revenue base, we expect to continue to increase our emphasis in this area. We believe that this will complement our carrier business with a higher margin and more stable customer base.
In 2002, we established Efonica F-Z, LLC, as a retail services Company marketing VoIP products to consumer and corporate customers in emerging markets. Beginning in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, and then extending into Latin America, Efonica’s services are primarily sold through distribution channels on a pre-paid basis. Efonica’s customers can place calls from anywhere in the world to any destination using a personal computer, Internet protocol telephone or regular telephone when accompanied by a hardware device that may be purchased through Efonica. We believe that the introduction of advanced features such as voicemail, call waiting and call forwarding will enhance this value-added offering. In February 2005, we completed our acquisition of the 49.8% minority interest in Efonica, and following such acquisition, we own 100% of Efonica.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
REVENUES (continued)
We manage our revenues by product and customer. We manage our costs by provider (vendor). We track total revenue at the customer level because our sales force has to manage the revenue generation at the customer level, and invoices are billed to and collected at the customer level. We also have to track the same revenues by product, because different products have different billing and payment terms, and individual customers may have multiple billing and payment terms if they purchase multiple products from us.
We manage our revenue segments based on gross margin, which is net revenues less cost of revenues, rather than on net profitability, due to the fact that our infrastructure is built to support all products, rather than individual products. This applies both to the capital investments made (such as switching and transmission equipment), and to selling, general and administrative resources. The majority of our sales and operations personnel support all product lines within their market segment, (i.e. Carrier), and are not separately hired to support individual product segments. For segment reporting purposes, all expenses below cost of revenues are allocated based on percentage of utilization of resources unless the items can be specifically identified to one of the product segments.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Our operating expenses are categorized as cost of revenues, depreciation and amortization, and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Costs of revenues include costs incurred with the operation of our leased network facilities, and the purchase of voice termination and Internet protocol services from other telecommunications carriers and Internet service providers. We continue to work to lower the variable component of the cost of revenue through the use of least cost routing, and continual negotiation of usage-based and fixed costs with domestic and international service providers.
Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of our communications network equipment, amortization of leasehold improvements of our switch locations and administrative facilities, and the depreciation of our office equipment and fixtures. It also includes amortization of the Efonica customer list.
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and benefits, insurance, occupancy costs, marketing and advertising, professional fees and other administrative expenses.
Advertising and marketing expense includes cost for promotional materials for the marketing of our retail products and services, as well as for public relations.

The information in our period-to-period comparisons below represents only our results from continuing operations.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007.
REVENUES
Consolidated revenues was $11.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $13.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $1.7 million or 12.7%.
Revenues for Voice to Carriers decreased $1.7 million or 13.3%, to $11.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $12.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decreased revenues were the result of a decrease in the blended rate per minute. Based on the peaks and valleys of the carrier segment, we cannot predict what impact competitor pricing pressure may have on future periods.
Revenues for Consumers, Corporations and Other during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were consistent with the same period of 2007.
COST OF REVENUES
Consolidated cost of revenues was $10.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $12.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $1.4 million or 11.4%. Approximately $1.3 million of this decrease was attributable to Voice to Carriers, which is consistent with the decrease in revenues.
Cost of revenues for Consumers, Corporations and Other during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was also consistent with the same period of 2007.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.1 million or 17.7% to $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our depreciation expense increased as more assets were acquired to support the retail platform.
Selling, General and Administrative: Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million or 3.5% to $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease is primarily attributed to decreased salaries and benefits and other personnel related expenses of approximately $0.2 million as a result of several senior management and other positions being eliminated during the first quarter of 2007, as the company was focusing on cost containment. Legal, accounting, non-cash compensation expenses (Consultants) decreased approximately $0.1 million as better rates were negotiated or expenses were no longer needed. Other SG&A expenses also decreased $0.1 million. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase of $0.3 million in our communication expenses.

OPERATING EXPENSES (continued)
Advertising and Marketing: Advertising and marketing expenses decreased $53,000 or 64.2% to $29,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $82,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as the advertising and marketing campaign of our Efonica product was more aggressive during the 1st quarter of 2007.
Operating Loss: Our operating loss increased $0.2 million or 7.1% to a loss of $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, from a loss of $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable to the decline in revenues.
Other Income (Expenses): Total other income (expense) changed from expense of approximately $47,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 to income of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to the gain on the extinguishment of debt.
Net Loss: Net loss decreased $0.5 million, or 16.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary factor contributing to the improvement was the gain on the extinguishment of debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating and net losses. In addition, we are not generating positive cash flow from operations. As of March 31, 2008, we had stockholders’ equity of approximately $6.2 million as compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2007, and a working capital deficit of approximately $4.5 million as compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we raised approximately $1.8 million from the sale of its securities through private placement financing (See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q). The proceeds have been and will continue to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, international deployment, and to fund the development of our retail service offerings. We may seek further financing through the sale of debt or equity securities, although we have no commitments to do so.
Below is a summary of our cash flow for the periods indicated. These cash flow results are consistent with prior years, in that we continued to use significant cash in connection with our operating and investing activities and had significant cash provided by financing activities.
A summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated is as follows:

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $0.4 million of cash restricted from withdrawal and held by banks as certificates of deposits securing letters of credit (equal to the amount of the certificates of deposit).
From our inception through March 31, 2008, we financed our operations from cash provided from financing activities. These activities were primarily through net proceeds of approximately $23.3 million from our initial public offering (IPO), and the private placement of approximately $62.3 million of equity securities, $1.6 million from the exercise of Stock options and warrants, and $22 million from the issuance of notes. In addition, since inception we have financed the acquisition of $8.2 million of fixed assets through capital leases.
Our long-term liquidity is dependent on our ability to attain future profitable operations. We cannot predict if and when we will be able to attain future profitability.
USES OF LIQUIDITY
Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs arise primarily from principal and interest payments related to our capital lease/equipment financing obligations, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements as may be needed to support the growth of our business, and any additional funds that may be required for business expansion opportunities.
Our cash capital expenditures were approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We expect our cash capital expenditures to be approximately $0.8 million for the next nine months ended December 31, 2008. The 2008 estimated capital expenditures primarily consist of additional retail infrastructure development, purchase of additional software for expanded product offerings, and international deployment.
Cash used in operations was approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash used in our operations has historically been a function of our net losses, expenses for property and equipment, and changes in working capital as a result of the timing of receipts and disbursements. Our net cash used in operating activities decreased significantly during 2008, primarily due to the completion of the majority of the expenses associated with the build out of our retail infrastructure. As we transition our existing customers to our new infrastructure and continue to build that revenue base, we expect our net cash used in operating activities to improve during future periods.
In some situations, we may be required to guarantee payment or performance under agreements, and in these circumstances we would need to secure letters of credit or bonds to do so.
DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
At March 31, 2008, we had approximately $0.8 million of current debt, which relates primarily to our notes payable and capital lease/equipment financing obligations.
CAPITAL INSTRUMENTS
In November 2007, the Company commenced a private placment for the purpose of raising working capital for the Company's operations. The private placement provided for the sale of up to $7 million of the Company's Common Stock. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company issued 5,855,176 share of Common Stock for which proceeds of approximately $1.79 million were received, net of expenses of approximately $1,000. In addition, the Company issued five (5) year warrants to purchase 2,927,590 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at 120% of the closing price of the Company's Common Stock the day before closing.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have identified the policies and significant estimation processes below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management judgment in their application. In other cases, management is required to exercise judgment in the application of accounting principles with respect to particular transactions. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” where such policies affect reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KA. Our preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our revenue is primarily derived from fees charged to terminate voice services over our network, retail VoIP sales to consumers and corporations, and from monthly recurring charges associated with Internet and private line services.
Variable revenue is earned based on the number of minutes during a call and is recognized upon completion of a call, adjusted for allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and billing adjustments. Revenue for each customer is calculated from information received through our network switches. Customized software has been designed to track the information from the switch and analyze the call detail records against stored detailed information about revenue rates. This software provides us the ability to do a timely and accurate analysis of revenue earned in a period. Consequently, the recorded amounts are generally accurate and the recorded amounts are unlikely to be revised in the future.
Fixed revenue is earned from monthly recurring services provided to the customer that are fixed and recurring in nature, and are contracted for over a specified period of time. The initial start of revenue recognition is after the provisioning, testing and acceptance of the service by the customer. The charges continue to bill until the expiration of the contract, or until cancellation of the service by the customer.
Additionally, the majority of our VoIP services to consumers and corporations are prepaid. The revenue received from the prepayments that is related to VoIP termination services in the current month is booked to the current month’s revenue, and the remainder of the prepayments is booked to deferred revenue, until usage occurs.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and record an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on our history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. Specific customer accounts are written off as uncollectible if the probability of a future loss has been established and payments are not expected to be received.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COST OF REVENUES AND COST OF REVENUES ACCRUAL
Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of costs incurred from other domestic and international communications carriers to originate, transport and terminate calls. The majority of our cost of revenue is variable, based upon the number of minutes of use, with transmission and termination costs being the most significant expense. Call activity is tracked and analyzed with customized software that analyzes the traffic flowing through our network switches. Each period the activity is analyzed and an accrual is recorded for minutes not invoiced. This cost accrual is calculated using minutes from the system and the variable cost of revenue based upon predetermined contractual rates.
In addition to the variable cost of revenue, there are also fixed expenses. One category of fixed expenses is associated with the network backbone connectivity to our switch facilities. These expenses would consist of hubbing charges at our New York switch facility that allow other carriers to send traffic to our switch, satellite or cable charges to connect to our international network, or Internet connectivity charges to connect customers or vendors to Fusion’s switch via the public Internet, a portion of which are variable costs. The other category of fixed expenses is associated with charges that are dedicated point-to-point connections to specific customers (both private line and Internet access).
INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT TESTING
Absent any circumstances that warrant testing at another time, we test for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible asset impairment as part of our year-end closing process. Impairment losses are recorded when indicators of impairment are present based primarily upon estimated future cash flows.
INCOME TAXES
We account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires companies to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the likelihood of utilization of existing deferred tax assets and recording a full valuation allowance, we have considered historical results of operations and the current operating environment.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). Among other changes, SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at fair value; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including earn-out provisions; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and all other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141R is generally effective for business combinations occurring in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the effect of this recently issued standard on its future consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements and Amendment of ARB No. 5”1 (“SFAS 160”). Among other items, SFAS 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the effect of this recently issued standard on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

FORWARD–LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the integration of businesses following an acquisition, concentration of revenue from one source, competitors with broader product lines and greater resources, emergence into new markets, the termination of any of the Company’s significant contracts or partnerships, the Company’s inability to maintain working capital requirements to fund future operations or the Company’s inability to attract and retain highly qualified management, technical and sales personnel, and the other factors identified by us from time to time in our filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements included in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of the date thereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks that are inherent in our financial instruments. These instruments arise from transactions in the normal course of business.
At March 31, 2008, the majority of our cash balances were held primarily in the form of short-term highly liquid investment grade money market funds held in major financial institutions. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that we are not subject to any material interest or market rate risks.
At March 31, 2008, all of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates. As such, we are not subject to interest rate risk on any of our debt. Consequently, we currently believe that our interest rate risk is very low.
We currently do not conduct any significant amount of business in currencies other than the United States dollar. The reporting and functional currency for our Dubai international subsidiary is the United States dollar. Our Jamaican and Turkey subsidiaries currently do not have any significant operations that would provide foreign currency risk. However, in the future, we likely will conduct a larger percentage of our business in foreign currencies that could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations.
ITEM 4T CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the "Exchange Act") that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their cost. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all of our control issues and all instances of fraud, if any. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On or about February 9, 2007, we filed a complaint against Patrick S. Dallas, InfoTel Holdings, Ltd., Phil Walton and John Does 1-5 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. vs. Patrick S. Dallas, et al., Index No. 2007001836) seeking damages associated with Mr. Dallas’ sale of Convergent Technologies Ltd. Stock to us and InfoTel’s breach of its October 2007 agreement to purchase Fusion Jamaica Limited’s equipment in Jamaica and assume the real property lease in Jamaica. We believe Mr. Dallas owns or controls InfoTel. This complaint asserted the following claims for relief: Breach of Contract (the Stock Purchase Agreement); Breach of Mr. Dallas’ Employment Agreement; Breach of Mr. Dallas’ Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete Agreement; Breach of Contract (the InfoTel Agreement); Diversion and Waste of Corporate Assets; Conversion: Scheme to Defraud and Deceive and Demand for Accounting; Fraudulent Misconduct with Intent to Defraud (the Stock Purchase Agreement); Fraudulent Misconduct with Intent to Defraud (the InfoTel Agreement); Indemnification (the Stock Purchase Agreement); and Indemnification (the InfoTel Agreement). Our legal counsel has advised that, at this state, they cannot accurately predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome, or quantify the amount or range of damages we would be entitled to receive if we prevail.
The Company is involved in other claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of these cases will have a material effect of the Company’s consolidated financial position.
Due to the regulatory nature of the industry, the Company is periodically involved in various correspondence and inquiries from state and federal regulatory agencies. Management does not expect the outcome of these inquiries to have a material impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
There were no material changes to the risk factors last disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC.
GOING CONCERN
At March 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $4,484,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $116,370,000. The Company has continued to sustain losses from operations. In addition, the Company has not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception. Management is aware that its current cash resources are not adequate to fund its operations for the remainder of the year. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company raised $1,787,000 net of expenses from sale of its securities through private placement. The Company’s long-term liquidity is partially dependent on its ability to successfully complete the rollout of its full suite of retail VoIP paid services and effectively market its paid services, in order to attain profitable operations in the future. The Company cannot make any guarantees if and when it will be able to attain profitability. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. No adjustment has been made in the consolidated financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 5 OTHER INFORMATION
There were no changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors since the Company last disclosed these procedures.
On April 17, 2008, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of $300,000 from two of its Directors, Philip Turits, and Marvin Rosen, as evidenced by two promissory notes. Both notes provide repayment of the principal balance plus an interest rate of 10% per annum on any remaining unpaid balance until the maturity date of May 17, 2008. The lenders have the right to demand payment of all unpaid principal and interest at any time thereafter. These notes also grant the lenders a collateralized security interest from the Company’s accounts receivable. The proceeds will be for general working capital purposes.
On April 23, 2008 and May 8, 2008, Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. (“Fusion”) borrowed an aggregate amount of $375,000 from two individual shareholders as evidenced by executed promissory notes. Both promissory notes have an interest rate of 10% per annum from the date of execution upon any remaining unpaid balance until the date of maturity which is 60 days from the execution date. These notes also grant the lenders a collateralized security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable. The proceeds will be for general working capital purposes.
On May 13, 2008 the Company entered into subscription agreements with three (3) individual investors for an offering of 416,668 shares of Common Stock, in consideration for $125,000. In addition, the Company issued five year warrants to purchase 208,334 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $.36 per share, which was equal to 120% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock the day before Closing.
