Note 1 -Organization
CoConnect, Inc. (formerly known as Advanced Wireless Communications, Inc.) is in the business of the development of the Companys proprietary mobile wireless network, which is currently under development. This high-speed proprietary mobile wireless network is designed to deliver wireless internet to residential and business customers.
On January 28, 2005, the Company executed a share exchange agreement with Heritage and its stockholders. The Company acquired Heritage stock in the amount of 10,000,000 shares in exchange for the number of shares of restricted voting common stock of the Company. The share exchange agreement closed on February 23, 2005 and superseded the exclusive license with Heritage by making Heritage a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
In February 2005, the Company changed its name to CoConnect, Inc.
Note 2 - Property and Equipment
Property and equipment at March 31, 2005, consisted of the following:
Accumulated Book
Cost Depreciation Value
Equipment $ 189,087 $ 5,325 $ 183,762
Software development 10,470 - 0 - 10,470
$ 199,557$ 5,325$ 194,232
Note 3 -Licenses & Intangibles
Licenses & intangibles at March 31, 2005 of $361,300 consisted of telecommunications licenses and other intangible assets acquired from Heritage, stated at cost. With the acquisition of Heritage in 2005, these intangible assets and the cost basis assigned to them will be evaluated and possibly adjusted as part of the acquisition accounting for the assets and liabilities of Heritage.
Note 4 - Notes Payable
A note payable in the principal amount of $175,000 at March 31, 2005 is due to a former director of the Company. The note is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 9% per annum. Accrued interest payable on the note was $118,133 at March 31, 2005. The Company is currently in discussions with the former director regarding repayment terms for these obligations.
Note 5: Accrued Compensation
Accrued compensation of $269,000 at September 30, 2004 consists of $72,000 and $197,000 payable pursuant to employment agreements with two former presidents of the Company.
Accounts receivable of $25,000 was assigned to a former president of the Company in the third quarter of 2004 in partial payment of compensation payable.
Note 6: Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying condensed financial statements due to the net losses of the Company. Because of the bankruptcy proceedings and significant changes in ownership of its common stock, the Company has not determined the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be available to offset future taxable income of the Company. If there have been substantial changes in the Companys ownership, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and related Regulations, there may be substantial annual limitations of the amount of net operating loss carryforwards, which could be utilized by the Company.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
We are in the business of developing and deployment a mobile wireless network, which currently remains under development. This high-speed proprietary mobile wireless network is designed to deliver communication products at speeds up to 45 megabits per second, which is comparable to the bandwidth of a DS-3 circuit. If our high-speed network is completed and we are able to deploy it, the delivery of our bandwidth will be virtually seamless due to our super node mesh, which is designed to provide uninterrupted wireless signal coverage throughout a geographic area.
We plan to develop or acquire the rights to products that can be delivered over our high-speed network. These target products include internet service, voice over internet protocol (VoIP), video entertainment and internet protocol television (IPTV), and video-on-demand (VoD).
We have had no revenues in the past several years. Heritage, our wholly owned subsidiary, has derived revenues primarily from services as an internet service provider. However, we are continuing to work on developing our mobile wireless network and products which can be delivered over the network, initially high speed internet access. Currently we are beginning to generate limited revenues from those activities. As we expand our product offerings, we hope to develop a model whereby we derive revenue from a combination of products and joint ventures.
Our operations are currently funded by a combination of revenues and capital funding.

Discussion
During the three month period ended March 31, 2005 our revenues from operations were limited due to the fact that we are in the process of developing and deploying our wireless network. During the three month period we focused much of our efforts on deploying a wireless mesh in St. George, Utah, which has yet to produce revenues. We expect that revenues from the sale of subscriptions for our service to occur during the second half of 2005.
In February 2005 we entered into agreement with MB Media Group to acquire itsTV and radio assets to create an immediate revenue stream. In addition, MB Media Groups 7 towers and 8 FM translator stations and licensed frequency spectrum provide a backbone to deliver our services throughout southern Utah. MB Media Groups assets also include full production facilities. We believe that once these assets are developed and improved, they can be integrated into our business to increase our revenues or some of the assets can be resold at a profit.
We had total revenues of $14,914 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, which represents an increase from the lack of revenues for the same period one year earlier. Management believes that it will begin generating significant revenues from its wireless network operations during the second half of 2005.
Marketing and promotion expenses were limited in the first quarter of 2005 due to the fact that our network has yet to be deployed.
Our general and administrative expenses totaled $774,717 during the first quarter of 2005, compared to $24,000 during the first quarter of 2004. This dramatic increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to the acquisition of Heritage and the accompanying increases in office and staff expenses. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will remain fairly constant during the next several quarters, while we anticipate that our total revenues during such period will increase.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $60,730, compared to no cash on hand on the same date one year earlier, and $7,000 at December 31, 2004. Our increased cash balance during the first three months of 2005 is largely attributable to the offering and sale of our common stock during the first quarter of 2005 in a private offering. In the private offering, we offered and sold a total of 741,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $1.00 per share.
We raised gross proceeds of $740,000 in the private offering, of which a total of approximately $75,000 was paid to the placement agent in commissions and fees, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $665,000.
Proceeds from the private offering will not be sufficient to fund our continuing operations at their current level through the second quarter of 2005 and additional funding will be required to survive as a going concern and to finance growth and to achieve our strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of funding. In addition, management is expecting an increase in cash flows through anticipated increases in revenue.
If we do not raise sufficient funds in the future, we may not be able to fund expansion, take advantage of future opportunities, meet our existing debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. Financing transactions in the future may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms.
All forward-looking statements contained herein are deemed by the Company to be covered by and to qualify for the safe harbor protection provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Prospective shareholders should understand that several factors govern whether any forward-looking statement contained herein will be or can be achieved. Any one of those factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected herein. These forward-looking statements include plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to the products and the future economic performance of the Company. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, future business decisions, and the time and money required to successfully complete development projects, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the cont rol of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will be realized. Based on actual experience and business development, the company may alter its marketing, capital expenditure plans or other budgets, which may in turn affect the companys results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included therein, the inclusion of any such statement should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the company will be achieved.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(A) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were deficient.
Because of the inactivity of the Company and lack of operations during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003 and portions of the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain formal financial books and records. The financial books and records of the Company for these periods were subsequently compiled from documents and records obtained from various sources, including the former presidents of the Company.
During the latter part of 2004 and to the present, the Company has implemented a full accounting system, and continues to implement procedures and controls to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.
(B) Changes in internal controls
Other than the matter discussed above, during the quarterly period covered by this report, there were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company currently has an unsecured note payable to a former director with a principal balance of $175,000. Interest payable on the note, accrued at an annual rate of 9% per annum, was approximately $118,133 at March 31, 2005. The repayment terms of this note have historically been a matter of contention between the Company and the former director, and are currently under discussion. Therefore, we cannot currently determine the ultimate outcome of this matter.
The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, and management believes that the amount, if any, that may result from such claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three month period ended March 31, 2005, we issued and sold 740,000 shares of our common stock to 13 accredited investors for a total of $750,000 in cash. We believe the transactions to be exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because they did not involve a public offering, and on the basis that each investor is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. We believe that this sale of securities did not involve a public offering because we provided each of our investors with a private placement memorandum disclosing items set out in Rule 501 and 506 of Regulation D. On this basis, we believe the securities were sold subject to a safe-harbor afforded by Regulation D. The shares sold were restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 (a)(3). Further, each common stock certificate issued in connection with this private offering bears a legend providing, in substance, that the securities have been acquired for investment only and may not b e sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement or opinion of our counsel that registration is not required under the Securities Act of 1933.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
The Company has an unsecured note payable to a former director with a principal balance of $175,000 at March 31, 2005. Interest payable on the note, accrued at an annual rate of 9% per annum, was $118,133 at March 31, 2005. The repayment terms of this note are currently under discussion between the management of the Company and the former director and, therefore, the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot currently be determined.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The share exchange agreement discussed in Item 5 below was approved by a majority of
the shareholders on February 23, 2005 by an action of the stockholders by written consent pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes
Item 5. Other Information.
(a) Acquisition of Heritage Communications
The description of the principal terms of the Share Exchange Agreement are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Share Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Form 10-QSB and which is incorporated herein by reference.
You are strongly urged to read and carefully consider the Share Exchange Agreement for a complete description of the terms of the Merger.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired Heritage through the purchase of all of Heritages outstanding common stock at a rate of 3 shares of the Registrant for each share of Heritage exchanged. The stockholders of Heritage received a total of 30,000,000 restricted shares (the "Exchange Shares") of our common stock. Upon consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, Heritage became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
(b) Letter of Intent to Acquire TV and Radio Subsidiary
On February 28, 2005, we entered into a letter of intent with MB Media Group, Inc. to purchase all of its assets. The proposed asset purchase includes MB Media Groups equipment, radio and TV signal towers, property, vehicles, lease holds, loans, accounts receivable, construction permits and all FCC licenses for Radio Stations FM-KXFF 102.3/92.5 The Fox, FM-KXBN B94.9/96.7, AM-KSUB 590, AM-KNZZ 940, FM-KMXM 107.3, and television stations, Fox Channel 13 St. George Utah, and ABC Las Vegas Affiliate Channel 41, 26, and Cable Channel 20. The agreement was unanimously approved by both our board of directors and that of MB Media Group.

Additionally, the undersigned's overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigneds net worth and the share exchange described in the Agreement will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
(c) The Securities will not be sold by the undersigned without registration under applicable securities acts or a proper exemption from such registration.
(d) The Securities are being acquired for the undersigned's own account and risk, for investment purposes, and not on behalf of any other person or with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.

In making the decision to purchase the Securities by entering into the Agreement, the undersigned and his or her advisers have relied solely upon their own independent investigations, and fully understand that there are no guarantees, assurances or promises in connection with any investment hereunder and understand that the particular tax consequences arising from this investment in Advanced will depend upon the individual circumstances of the undersigned.

(h) The undersigned knows that the Securities are offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, and state securities law based, in part, on these warranties and representations, which are the very essence of this Agreement, and constitute a material part of the bargained-for consideration without which this Agreement would not have been executed.
(i) The undersigned has the capacity to protect the undersigneds own interest in connection with this transaction or has a pre-existing personal or business relationship with Advanced or one or more of its officers, directors or controlling persons consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and duration such as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of such person with whom such relationship exists.
