Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments necessary for interim financial statements (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire current year or other future interim periods.
The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. The consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2001.
Nature of Operations
Mobile Limited Liability Company, LLC (the Debtor) was a Nevada limited liability company formed on April 25, 1994, for purposes of acquiring and operating certain FCC licenses in the Mobile, Alabama area. The majority interest member of the LLC was a similarly named general partnership, Mobile Wireless Partners (Partners) comprised of 1,094 partners, with a 94.5% interest in the Debtor. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization filed by Mobile Wireless, LLC, Advanced Wireless Systems, Inc. was created and emerged from Bankruptcy on January 8, 1998, as the Reorganized Debtor (collectively, called the Company). Additionally, the Plan included the acquisition by the Company of the Partners' FCC License in exchange for 3,192,518 shares of the Company's common stock, 3,068,066 B Warrants exercisable on a 1 for 1 basis for the Company's common stock, and the extinguishments of an inter-company loan from Partners totaling $100,000, which was accounted for as a conversion to common stock.
The License has been recorded by the Company at the Partners' historical cost basis which was $225,000. In substance, the reorganization and asset transfer and resulting combination between partners and the Company is a change in legal organization, but not a change in entity. The transfer of the license and elimination of inter-company receivable, representing all assets of the Partners, in exchange for all outstanding shares in the newly formed corporation is deemed a transfer of assets under common control. Accordingly, the assets transferred have been accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to that in a pooling of interest. The partnership had no prior results of operations. As such, results of operations on a combined basis represent the activities of Mobile LLC during those periods.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company was originally an established provider of direct-broadcast satellite television service in the Mobile area. In January of 2000, the Company decided to discontinue broadcasting services to the general public but continues to broadcast for educational institutions in the Mobile area. At approximately the same time, the Company began offering High Speed Internet Services utilizing its MMDS licensed spectrum. In August of 1999, the Company acquired an existing Internet Service Provider completing a shifting of focus to providing Internet service connections to the Mobile area. Beginning in April of 2001, the Company instituted a new system offering Wireless Internet Services to businesses in the Mobile area with the intent of utilizing its MMDS dedicated frequency spectrum as an eventual backup. In July of 2001, the Company abandoned this new system after concluding implementation would be too capital intensive, that there was a questionable market for the product, and; recognition that for th e first time internet usage is on the decline.
On August 6, 2000, the Company purchased certain MMDS and ITFS licenses in Baton Rouge Louisiana, Clarksville Tennessee, Reading Pennsylvania, and Shreveport Louisiana (along with other assets) for 11,763,102 shares of the Company's common stock.
On September 8, 2000, the Company purchased 100% of the common stock of Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc. (an automobile repossession company) through a stock swap involving the issuance of 2,667,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc. is now a fully owned subsidiary of the Company.
On February 6, 200l, the Company purchased 100% of the common stock of The RAP Group, Inc. (a new and used automobile sales company) through a stock swap involving the issuance of 5,150,000 shares of the Company's common stock and 2,000,000 warrants. The RAP Group, Inc. is now a fully owned subsidiary of the Company.
Management's Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 financial statements to conform with the 2001 financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.
NOTE 2 - EXTENDED EXPIRATION DATES OF WARRANTS
On January 2, 2001, the Company extended the expiration date of Series C Warrants to March 21, 2001. On January 11, 2001, the Company reduced the strike price for Series C and D Warrants to forty-five cents ($0.45) for a 30 day period ending March 21, 2001. On March 21, 2001, the Company extended the expiration of Series C Warrants to June 21, 2001, at the lowered strike price. On June 21, the Series C Warrants were extended an additional 60 days at the lowered strike price and the Series D Warrants were extended to December 31, 2001, at the lowered strike price.
NOTE 3 - PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The options were exercised in February and April of 2001, for the issuance of 846,378 shares without payment of cash.
In the first quarter of 2001, the Company entered into employment agreements with two officers of the Company (President and Chief Financial Officer) with annual salaries of $85,000 and 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued at prescribed intervals.
NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
As discussed in Note 1, the Company has emerged from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends, in part, on its ability to develop new markets for its MMDS frequencies including, but not limited to, high speed Internet access, to achieve profitability with its acquisitions over and above the ongoing administrative operating costs of the Company, and to raise new capital through public offerings of the Company's stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully develop new markets for its services, that the ongoing administrative costs of the Company can be covered by the profitable acquisitions, or that sales of the Company's stock will generate sufficient working capital to offset operating losses.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this registration statement. This registration statement contains forward looking statements. The words, "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "project," "could," "may," "foresee," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include information regarding expected development of the telecommunications part of our business where we are currently emphasizing the marketing of high speed wireless Internet access. We have discontinued marketing wireless television services, maintaining our current market segment and de-emphasized traditional internet services
we are offering over telephone lines.
Simultaneous to these marketing efforts in our telecommunications business, we are continuing to change the focus of our business by acquiring automotive related ventures. Our subsidiaries, Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc. ("Daybreak") and the RAP Group, Inc. ("RAP") are continuing to grow and expand. During the quarter we entered into an agreement to acquire Voltage Vehicles, Inc. ("Voltage"), a start up enterprise, with the go al of centralizing, marketing and distributing zero emission personal vehicles. The agreement will be finalized upon receipt by the Company of certain information required under the agreement.
We believe Daybreak and RAP will ultimately generate sufficient profits on a segmented basis so as to offset losses we have continuously experienced in our telecommunications business. We also believe it will take about six months for Voltage to become profitable. These statements reflect our current views about future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including without limitation the risks described in "Risk Factors." Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise indicated.
RISK FACTORS
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: a lack of sufficient capital to finance our business strategy on terms satisfactory to us; pricing pressures which could affect demand for our services; changes in labor, equipment and capital costs; our inability to develop and implement new services such as wireless broadband access and high-speed Internet access; our inability to obtain the necessary authorizations from the FCC for such new services; our inability to renew our FCC licenses; competitive factors, such as the introduction of new technologies and competitors into the wireless communications business; our Company's failure to attract strategic partners, general business and economic conditions; or inexperience of management in deploying a wireless broadband (or high-speed) access business. Similar factors could affect the automotive part of our business.
Our telecommunications operations have a history of losses in the foreseeable future.
Our predecessor, Mobile LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in 1997 because it was unable to operate profitably. Its situation and history are very similar to that of DWSI which we acquired in the last quarter of 2000. Since we emerged from bankruptcy and since we acquired DWSI through bankruptcy, our telecommunications operations have continued to experience losses from operations. We have stopped any new wireless television installations because limited channel capacity, direct satellite TV and wired cable TV competition has been
determined to be too intense for us to successfully compete. Over the past two years, we have attempted to enter the Internet business with little success. We are currently developing a Wireless High Speed Internet system utilizing a free FCC spectrum at our Mobile operation with the intent that we can back up our customers with high speed wireless internet service utilizing our dedicated FCC spectrum when, and if, the free spectrum becomes jammed. If we are successful in our efforts to introduce this new Internet technology in Mobile, we intend to expand the service to the other areas in which we have a dedicated spectrum (i.e. Shreveport and Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Reading, Pennsylvania). We can expect losses in our Internet business line until we build a large enough customer base to generate revenues in excess of start up and operating costs. We cannot expect to operate our telecommunications businesses at a profit in the foreseeable future.
We believe that the future profitability of our business will hinge on the success of our newly acquired automotive subsidiaries, Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc. and the RAP Group, Inc., both of which have shown profits during the past six months. However, the RAP Group, Inc. which sells new, used and repossessed automobiles may be subject to downturns in the economy. Northern California, where the RAP Group, Inc. operates, is expected to continue to experience a mild recession during the remainder of the year due to the collapse of the local Internet Sales and Computer Manufacturing industries in Silicon Valley. Ironically, this expected local economic downturn will likely benefit our other subsidiary, Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc. which repossess automobiles for many regional and national lending institutions.
We do not expect our newly acquired subsidiary, Voltage Vehicles, Inc. to generate positive cash flow throughout the remainder of this year.
We have not yet developed our high speed Internet access services.
In the first two quarters of 2001, most of our revenues came from our automotive subsidiaries.
Our revenues from our telecommunications business continued to decline. We are hopeful that the revenues and profits generated from our automotive businesses will eventually lead us to profitability. Our ability to continue to expand our business depends on our finding new sources of revenue, such as our automotive subsidiaries and income from possible future acquisitions. If we fail in these endeavors, we will be unable to continue as a going concern. Our auditors report contains a going concern qualification.
We do not have reliable projections of how long it may take to generate positive cash flows or operating profits.
In the telecommunications part of our business we have ongoing operating costs including rent, license fees for our broadcast frequencies and debt service. We believe that in order to be profitable in our telecommunications business we will need an Internet customer base of at least 3,000. Currently we have about 523 Internet customers. During the last quarter we instituted a new Wireless Internet Access system at our Mobile operations in an effort to increase our Internet customer base. However, we have currently abandoned that effort because of a number
of factors including the realization that the development of the system was too capital intensive, the fact that for the first time ever internet usage has declined by about 1.6%, and our only competitor for wireless internet had gained only one new customer in the previous nine months. The cost of the wireless internet service we were offering was $189 per month and it became apparent customers weren't willing to incur such a monthly expense. Our subsidiary, Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc. has more than doubled its business since this time last year and our other subsidiary. The RAP Group, Inc, while profitable, generated approximately $225,000 less in revenues for the same time last year. We believe this decrease in revenues is attributable to, the recent economic downturn in Northern California attributable to the DotCom collapse and higher than normal energy costs associated with the energy crisis in California. These two factors have caused a general tightening of credit by lenders with which RAP fin ances automobile in California. The anticipated energy shortages over the next few years could have a materially adverse effect on our automotive businesses.
We have made an assignment of certain of our FCC licenses as collateral to secure payment of certain legal fees.
At the closing of the DWSI transaction, we made a collateral assignment to four law firms that represented DWSI in its bankruptcy proceedings, to cover their outstanding bills through May 25, 2000, totaling approximately $136,000 with interest at 9% per annum. The collateral are the FCC licenses acquired in the DWSI transaction which were the main assets we acquired from DWSI. We have been unable to make payments and, as a result, we could lose the FCC licenses which we purchased.
We are not sure that the FCC will allow us to transfer FCC licenses into the Company's name or renew our FCC licenses.
We have applied to transfer licenses acquired in the DWSI transaction into the Company's name. There are no assurances that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will agree to these transfers. Also, many of our FCC licenses are up for renewal. We have applied to the FCC to renew the licenses but there can be no assurances that the FCC will renew the licenses.
We need an infusion of capital to continue operations at current levels.
Since we began operations, we have depended on capital provided by financing during both the Mobile LLC and DWSI bankruptcy proceedings, as well as equity provided by the exercise of warrants for our common stock which were issued as part of the reorganizations and loans from private third parties. Assuming our subsidiaries continue to show profitability, we likely must find additional capital, either in the form of loans or sale of more equity, to invest in equipment and inventory necessary for our businesses and to provide capital until our telecommunications businesses can generate positive cash flow. Given our history of losses and lack of operating history in our telecommunications businesses, we cannot be sure that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to continue in business until we become profitable. Since confirmation of Mobile, LLC's Plan of Reorganization, our stockholders who acquired stock as part of the Plan,
have exercised warrants that were distributed as part of the Plan. We have depended on those funds for operating capital during the past two years. All of those warrants have either been exercised or expired. With the DWSI acquisition, we again issued warrants to the shareholders of DWSI and we expect to use the proceeds from the exercise of those warrants to finance our operations and capital acquisitions for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2001, 1,181,613 warrants issued to former DWSI shareholders and creditors have been exercised. If these warrant holders do not continue to exercise warrants in sufficient dollar amounts, we may have insufficient capital to continue some or all of our telecommunications operations.
Our telecommunications business and Voltage are operating at a loss. Our automotive subsidiaries, while operating at a profit, need profits generated within the subsidiaries for growth and cash flow purposes. The subsidiaries are not now, nor will they be in the foreseeable future, able to contribute any financial help to the parent company (AWSS). Our losses from our telecommunications operations continue to mount despite our efforts to turn them into profitable enterprises. Over the course of the past six months, we have substantially cut back our telecommunications operations to stem the losses but our desire and ability to retain the telecommunications assets is dependent on our ability to obtain operating capital. Our current unpaid liabilities exceed $1.4 million. We do not have enough cash to pay off these debts and we continue to operate at a loss. We must have an infusion of capital in the immediate future or we will be forced to further curtail or close some of our operations.
Last year we issued 41 million warrants to DWSI shareholders to purchase our Common Stock. The Warrants issued ranged in price from $1 to $6. Since the acquisition of DWSI was completed, 1,587,443 of the Warrants have been exercised generating $814,640 in equity capital. We will be dependent on our shareholders exercising these Warrants in order to eventually liquidate our liabilities and grow the Company. We hope our shareholders will continue to exercise their warrants but cannot be sure that they will do so. We do not have any other funding sources ready to generate revenue to sustain our operations.
Our senior indebtedness is due and unpaid.
At June 30, 2001, $175,000 in principal amount plus accrued interest of $83,417 was due and unpaid on a loan made to us by a former director who assisted in financing our operations while we were still in bankruptcy. The outstanding loan is secured by essentially all of our Mobile assets, including our wireless frequency licenses. This loan is now due and payable in full, together with accrued, unpaid interest. In addition, we owe another former director accrued and unpaid interest on a similar secured loan, whose principal amount was paid last year. These lenders have not demanded payment nor declared the loans in default, but they also have not waived any provision of the loan agreement. We are negotiating an extension or settlement of this indebtedness, but if we are unable to renegotiate the terms of this debt, the lenders could demand payment and foreclose on assets which are important to our continuing in the telecommunications business.
The acquisition of Voltage Vehicles may not prove to be profitable.
Because of the lack of audited financial information on Voltage, its own precarious financial
condition, and our own poor financial condition, substantial risks are involved in this asset purchase and any investment in our company. The discussion under "Recent Developments" explains the acquisition and the most important risks. Because of the high risks involved, investors should not invest in our securities unless they can afford a complete loss of their investment.
California has relaxed its mandate for electric vehicles due to the electric energy crisis.
Since the beginning of 2001, the State of California has experienced severe electrical energy shortages. As a result of these shortages, the California Air Resources Board has relaxed its previous mandate that 10% of all new vehicles sold in the State beginning in the year 2002, be zero emission vehicles to 2% per year beginning in 2003. There can be no assurance that the Air Resources Board will continue to enforce its mandate. Also, the cost of operating an electric vehicle, which was one cent per mile at the beginning of the year, is an unsure component in the foreseeable future. The situation could occur where it costs more to operate a zero emission vehicle operated by electric batteries than it is to operate a vehicle which uses fossil fuels for propulsion.
Electric vehicles run on lead cell batteries which do not allow for long distance drives without recharging.
Currently, electric vehicles operate on lead cell batteries. Typically, these lead cell batteries restrict electric vehicles to small operational ranges. In other words, a typical electric passenger vehicle carrying four adults has a range of 60 miles or less before the batteries have to be recharged. This restriction on range will likely inhibit the sales of electric vehicles. While there is ongoing research and development to create batteries that will permit longer ranges and fuel cell technology which would greatly enhance the range of zero emission vehicles, there are no assurances that such research and development will be successful.
Consumers may not accept the new electric vehicles we intend to promote.
While there is significant evidence that the U.S. population as a whole supports current federal, state and local environmental policies designed to enhance air quality, there can be no assurance that consumers will willingly purchase zero emission vehicles. Factors such as cost and operational range are likely to have an impact on consumer acceptance.
Recent developments
The Voltage Vehicles, Inc. Acquisition
On May 15 2001, Advanced Wireless Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "AWSS")
entered into an agreement to purchased all of the stock of Voltage Vehicles, Inc.
("Voltage"), pursuant to the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization (the "Agreement")
between AWSS and Voltage.
Prior to the Voltage acquisition, we had 26,566,858 shares of stock issued and outstanding.
We agreed to issue 2,500,000 shares of our stock and 3,000,000 Series "K" Warrants
entitling the holder to acquire as many shares at $0.35 each to the Voltage shareholder in
the acquisition, a total of 5,500,000 million shares (fully diluted). The stock has not been delivered as it is subject to Voltage delivering to us audited financial statements. The "K" Warrants have a life of three years. Thus, the recipient of the shares from the Voltage purchase will not own a majority of the shares of our outstanding stock and will not be able to control future shareholder votes, including elections of directors. Pending the finalization of the transaction, we will have acquired all 25,000 issued and outstanding shares of Voltage pursuant to the Agreement.
The Common Stock to be issued will be released according to a schedule detailed in the
Agreement, but none will be released until Voltage delivers to the Company a certified audit
of its financial statements.
The sole shareholder of Voltage will acquire more than five percent (5%) of our shares as a result of the reorganization and purchase. In the exchange, Nancy Hayssen will relinquish
25,000 shares of Voltage and receive 2,500,000 shares (10%) of our stock.
Nancy Hayssen is a founder and President of Voltage and will remain as its president and
chief executive officer. Nancy Hayssen is the granddaughter of Jerome Schneider and
the niece of Jeffrey Schneider, a member of our Board of Directors and President and
Chief Executive Officer of the RAP Group, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary.
As a family group, Jerome Schneider, Jeffrey Schneider and Nancy Hayssen will
control 36.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock,
assuming all the stock is delivered after both the RAP Group, Inc. and Voltage Vehicles,
Inc. deliver to us their audited financial statements.
Voltage is located in Fulton, California and shares offices with the RAP Group, Inc.
Voltage was incorporated in 2000 in with the goal of developing markets for zero emission
vehicles based upon the belief that newly enacted state and federal environmental and tax
statutes and regulations had created a business environment which could be exploited.
Shortly after its founding, Voltage entered into a distribution agreement with ZAPWORLD.com, a leading manufacturer of personal electric vehicles. The agreement granted Voltage the exclusive right to market and distribute ZAPWORLD.com products to automobile distributors throughout the United States. ZAPWORLD.com (NASADAQ: ZAPP) is currently the leading U.S. manufacturer and distributor of personal electric vehicles which includes electric scooters, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric swim propulsion systems, and electric propulsion systems for roller blading. In May of 2001, Voltage entered into a joint venture agreement with ZAPWORLD.com wherein the two entities agreed to the join forces to develop new Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) electric vehicles and other personal electric
vehicles for marketing and distribution internationally. A NEV is a passenger vehicle which has a top speed of 25 miles per hour. In August of 2001, Voltage executed an agreement with Gorilla, Inc., granting exclusive rights to distribute Gorilla's zero emission work carts to the independent auto dealers of America. Also, in August of 2001, Voltage executed an agreement with Apollo Energy, Inc., which grants Voltage exclusive rights to utilize Apollo's fuel cell technology in Voltage's eventual auto manufacturing enterprise. Voltage currently has ongoing negotiations with several other businesses which manufacture zero emission products.
In acquiring Voltage, we believe that there is a good potential for marketing and distributing
Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) especially in the State of California. The State of California is in the vanguard of a national movement to lessen the dependency on fossil fuel vehicles in its attempt to better the overall environment. In an effort to promote zero emission
vehicles, the State of California, through its Air Resources Control Board, has mandated that 2% of all new vehicles sold in the State beginning in the year 2003 must be zero emission. A NEV qualifies as a new vehicle for purposes of the Air Resources Board mandate. To further promote development and utilization, California has set aside grant funds which would give out up to $9,000 to residents who purchase zero emission vehicles. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the Federal government is offering a 10% Investment Tax Credit up to $4,000 and two year depreciation to foster the birth of this new industry. The Internal Revenue Code ("Code") also provides for a tax deduction, based on the incremental cost of the vehicle, for clean fuel vehicles from $2,000 to $50,000 depending on gross vehicle weight. Also the Code exempts Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV's) from federal excise "luxury" taxes and also from "luxury" depreciation
schedules.
In addition, a number of legislative proposals have been introduced in the U.S. Congress
which we believe will further foster the acceleration of zero emission vehicle sales. Senate Bill 389 would initiate a 10% tax credit up to $4,250 on NEVs, would initiate a tax credit of between $4,250 and $42,500 for BEVs and an additional $6,375 tax credit for BEVs with a driving range of at least 100 miles between charges. Senate Bill 597, would require the Secretary of Transportation to develop "mechanisms" to cap petroleum use in light-duty vehicles at no more than 5% above the year 2000 level by the year 2008. Under this bill, "mechanism" is defined to include tax incentives to promote the use of highly-efficient and/or alternative fuel vehicles. Senate Bill 760, also promotes the use of BEVs with incremental tax credits ranging from $4,000 to $40,000 based upon gross vehicle weights, and certain mandatory minimum ranges between charges and payload capacities. Other legislative proposals include granting alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) with a single occupant access to high occupancy traffic la nes; directing federal agencies to use alternative fuels for at least 50% of total volume by the year 2005; requiring the Secretary of Transportation to spend up to $100 million per year between 2002 and 2008 in grants to 100 local governments for covering the incremental cost of AFVs; requiring federal fleets to use alternative fuel for at least 50% of the total annual volume by 2003 and 75% by 2005; giving a $0.25 per gallon, gasoline equivalent, asa tax credit for AFVs; and giving a tax deduction of $100,000 for construction of clean fuel (including electricity) refueling stations.
Other factors in our decision to acquire Voltage are certain economic realities. Recent government reports indicate that U.S. oil production has fallen 50% since 1970. In 1973, 35% of U.S. oil was bought from foreign sources. Today we are importing 54% of our oil. Recent geologic analyses predict that worldwide oil production is likely to peak between 2003 and 2020. Two-thirds of US oil consumption is used for transportation. We believe, as a result of these economic realities, that the federal government is sincere in its efforts to promote the development and use of vehicles which are either fossil fuel free (such as battery or fuel cells) or double current MPG standards. Our national average is now at a 20 year low with an average of 23 miles per gallon-even though the federal standard has been set at 27.5 mpg.
Voltage also has reached an agreement with Auto Distributors, Inc., which has distribution rights for the Solectria electric car product line and componentry recognized to be the finest componentry available on the market today. Voltage will service the sales and delivery of Solectria automobiles on behalf of Auto Distributors, Inc. Steven Schneider is the owner of Auto Distributors, Inc. and the son of Jerome Schneider, the brother of Jeffrey Schneider and the uncle of Nancy Hayssen. Additionally, Voltage is in negotiations with several other companies which are manufacturers of zero emission products.
Results of operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001, as Compared to
the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000.
Our revenues increased by 3800% in the first six months of 2001, over the same period in 2000, to $3,890,523 from $100,740. During the second quarter of 2001, we derived our revenues from auto sales, auto repossessions, zero emission vehicles, cable television broadcasting and providing Internet services. Over 84% of our revenues came from auto sales, 15% from auto repossessions. and 1% from our telecommunications business. During the same period last year, we did not own our automotive subsidiaries and thus they did not contribute any earnings during the same period last year.
Our other intangible assets increased by almost 200% from $428,034 for the year ended December 31, 2000, to $1,272,956 for the second quarter of 2001. We attribute this increase to our acquisition of RAP Group, which resulted in $950,000 in goodwill. Similarly, our accounts receivable increased over 400% from $94,995 for the year ended December 31, 2000, to $479,568 for the second quarter of 2001. We attribute this increase from our acquisition of RAP Group and Daybreak because the accounts receivable are contracts receivable from the financing companies of RAP Group and Daybreak. Again, because of our acquisitions of RAP Group and Daybreak, our inventory assets increased by 6752% from the year ended December 31, 2000, to $412,385 for the period ended June 30, 2001.
Costs of sales increased correspondingly during the second quarter of 2001 to $1,268,063 from $17,790 during the same period in 2000. These expenses are directly related to the increase in automotive operations. During the period, we continued to pare back our telecommunications operations because of their continuing losses. During the second quarter of 2001, Costs of sales was 68% of revenues compared to 40% during the second quarter of 2000.
Administrative expenses, for the second consecutive time in the Company's history, were less than the revenues generated during any period. In the second quarter of 2001, administrative expenses were $718,606, a $342,591 (91%) increase over the same period in 2000. Most of these expenses are related to a normal increase in administrative costs associated with our two new subsidiaries (RAP Group, Inc. and Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc.) Daybreak and RAP both showed profits for the quarter.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, contain a "going concern" qualification from our auditor. We emerged from Bankruptcy proceedings in early 1998 and since then have continued to sustain operating losses. In 2000, we acquired Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc. ("Daybreak"). In an effort to bring profitable enterprises into our Company to aide us in offsetting the continuing losses we have been experiencing in our telecommunications business. Also in 2000, through an independent bankruptcy proceeding, we acquired all of the assets of Digital Wireless Systems, Inc. ("DWSI") which consisted mainly of FCC licenses granting dedicated spectra in four new locales. During the first quarter of 2001, we acquired the RAP Group, Inc. "RAP" as part of our continuing effort to bring profitable business ventures into our Company. Both RAP and Daybreak, are profitable and, we believe, the profits generated by them will assist us in offsetting our telecommunications losses. During this quarter , we entered into an agreement to acquire Voltage Vehicles, Inc., ("Voltage") a start up enterprise, which had no activity during the quarter. Under the agreement, Voltage must provide the Company with certain information, in order to consummate the acquisition. Both of our subsidiaries are automotive related and, we believe, are synergistic.
During the past three years, we have satisfied our working capital needs primarily through our financing activities including raising capital through the sale of certificates of indebtedness (during our bankruptcy proceeding), loans from directors and other private lenders, and the exercise of warrants that were issued both as part of our Plan of Reorganization and, also as part of the DWSI Plan of Reorganization. In order to continue as a going concern, we must develop a profitable telecommunications business to offset losses being incurred. As an alternative, we could choose to sell some or all of our telecommunications assets and continue to acquire "going concern" businesses similar to RAP and Daybreak. We will also need to raise additional equity capital for development and expansion, possibly in a public offering of securities.
Since confirmation of our Mobile LLC Plan of Reorganization, our stockholders who acquired stock as part of the Plan and who were investors in the earlier partnership have exercised warrants that were distributed to those stockholders as part of the Plan. All of the warrants issued as a result of our 1998 Plan of Reorganization have either been exercised or expired. As part of DWSI's Plan of Reorganization confirmed in 2000, we issued to approximately 3,750 partners who comprised the various legal entities which made up DWSI, 41 million warrants with prices ranging from $1 to $6. Our new shareholders from DWSI have begun exercising their warrants. We have depended on the funds from exercise of warrants issued in the two reorganizations for operating capital over the past two years. Currently, the exercise price of the warrants exceeds the recent trading range of our Common Stock.
We are exploring possible acquisitions of new businesses with positive cash flows and/or the merging of our Company with another public company.
Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash used in operating activities was $309,424, compared to $313,281 used in operating activities for the first six months of 2000. This includes a $50,196 increase in our accounts payable. Much of this increase is attributable to the acquisition of DWSI and its ongoing operational costs. An additional $23,174 was acquired as part of the RAP Group, Inc. acquisition. We issued stock for services in the amount of $27,000 during the second quarter. We are not paying some bills on a current basis. We expect our accounts payable to level off during the third and fourth quarter of this year, as we begin to pay down our past due accounts payable, from revenues we expect to be derived from our shareholders exercising their warrants. In the event our shareholders decide not to exercise their warrants in meaningful amounts, then we will continue to experience an increasing accounts payable, and if this should be the case, we could be forced to sell or close down some, or all, of our telecommunications operations.
Investing Activities
We paid, $82,438 to purchase equipment in the first six months of 2001. Most of this amount was attributable to the purchase of a new truck for our Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc. subsidiary ($46,000) with most of the remainder ($32,438) being spent on leasehold improvements at the RAP Group, Inc. subsidiary. This total represents a $56,714 (220%) increase from $25,724 spent for equipment purchases during the first six months of 2000.
Financing Activities
Duringthe first six months of 2001, we received $374,207 from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock, compared to proceeds from warrants exercised of $286,836 during the same period in 2000. All the warrants exercised during the period were from those issued as part of the acquisition of DWSI. We also repaid $20,886 on notes payable with the issuance of our Common Stock. Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $361,013, compared to $336,336 for the same period of 2000.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Virginia Communications, Inc. ("VCI"), a creditor of DWSI, Debtor, filed an adversary proceeding against the Debtor and Advanced Wireless contesting the Debtor's rights in a certain MMDS Channel Lease Agreement. VCI argued that regardless of whether the Debtor properly assumed the lease after the bankruptcy petition that VCI was free to terminate the lease for a post-petition default by the Debtor. The court agreed with VCI that the leases were terminated by the post-petition breach of the Debtor. Thus, we, as the successor of DWSI, no longer have rights to those channels. We are reviewing the impact of the ruling to determine whether we should appeal the decision. Prior to the bankruptcy court ruling we had substantially written down the value of the Clarksville business on our balance sheets, and they have produced no income during 2000.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
During the second quarter of 2001, we issued 846,440 shares of our common stock in the following transactions, which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
- We received $133,821 from the exercise of warrants to purchase 283,583 shares of common stock. The warrants had been issued during 2000 pursuant to the bankruptcy reorganization of DWSI. The stock issued upon exercise of the warrants was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
- We issued 270,000 shares of restricted common stock to two former directors of our company pursuant to the exercise of stock options that they had received as compensation. The shares were issued in cashless exercises under the terms of the directors' option agreements, in exchange for the cancellation of options valued at $56,700. This stock was issued pursuant to the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
- We also issued 150,000 shares of our restricted common stock to a consultant in the first quarter as compensation for services rendered which were valued at $27,000. The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
- We also issued 142,857 shares to a lender who opted to convert his $50,000 loan to the Company in exchange for the stock. This stock was issued pursuant to the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
