INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT |
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viper Networks, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2004, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Viper Networks, Inc. and Subsidiaries.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to its current status are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has incurred a loss from inception on September 14, 2000 through September 30, 2004, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $(10,323,975) at September 30, 2004 which raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |

| It is the intent of management to continue to develop it’s voice and data services to Web-based customers and expand its Voice-over-Internet Protocol networks for businesses, institutions, and Internet Service Providers (ISP). |

| Company management will seek additional financing through new stock issuances and lines of credit. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those that relate to income tax contingencies, revenue recognition, and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. If actual results significantly differ from management's estimates, the Company's financial condition and results of operations could be materially impaired.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded $3,323,726 as net sales revenues. This compares to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when we recorded $35,296 as net sales revenue. The dramatic increase in net sales from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due the acquisition and subsequent consolidated of Mid-Atlantic International, Inc. and Adoria Communications, LLC.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, our Cost of sales was $2,943,840 which resulted in a gross margin as a percentage of net sales revenues of approximately 11%. This compares to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 where our Cost of sales was $6,814 which resulted in a gross margin percentage of net sales revenues was approximately 81%. Competitive conditions, product and sales mix, and technology trends impacted our gross margin in both of these years.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 we incurred $2,962,269 in selling, general and administrative expenses. This compares to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when we incurred $710,650 in selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was due primarily to the increased average monthly amount of selling, general and administrative expenses incurred as the Company developing and implementing its business plan. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily made up of wages and salaries, office expenses, fees and costs incurred for legal and accounting services, and other administrative costs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we incurred an Operating Loss of $2,582,383 compared to an Operating Loss of $686,438 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in the amount of the loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was due primarily to the increased selling, general and administrative expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we incurred interest expense of $52,855 compared to $28,406 in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we had bad debt expense of $26,785 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when we had $0 in bad debt expense.
As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 we had a net loss of $7,163,224 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when we had a net loss of $1,507,403.
Basic loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $.07 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when we had a basic loss per share of $.05. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we had 96,784,299 weighted average shares outstanding. By comparison, during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 we had 28,563,904 weighted average shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2004, we had $42,058 in cash. At the same time, we had $353,058 in total current assets. At December 31, 2003, we had $170,340 in cash. At the same time, we had $354,893 in total current assets.
As of September 30, 2004, our total current liabilities were $1,045,043 which consisted primarily of the following material amounts: $281,889 in Accounts payable, $122,237 in Accrued liabilities, $461,876 in Related party obligations, $136,264 in short term debt.
In contrast, as of December 31, 2003, our total current liabilities were $690,266 which consisted primarily of the following material amounts: $70,447 in Accounts payable, $5,159 in Accrued liabilities, $11,658 in Related party obligations, $529,549 in Short term and current portion of long term debt.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, our cash needs were met primarily by the sale of common stock and loans from certain of our shareholders. We can not be assured that we will continue to obtain funds from these or any other sources to meet our need for additional capital resources.
Overall, our liquidity and access to capital is very limited. We have not received any commitment for additional financing and given the size of our company, we may be limited to loans and other cash infusions from officers, directors, existing stockholders, and persons affiliated or associated with one or more of them. If we are to implement our business plan, we will need to raise significant amounts of additional capital and during the period ended September 30, 2004 we had not received any commitment that any such additional financing would be forthcoming or, if could be obtained, that it can be obtained on reasonable terms in light of our circumstances at that time. In addition, if any financing should be obtained, existing shareholders will likely incur substantial, immediate, and permanent dilution of their existing investment.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us 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 financial statements; and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We are required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from our estimates. While we are a development-stage company, the most significant areas involving our judgments and estimates are principally those involving our current liabilities.
Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements as defined by federal securities laws which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, expectations, intentions, projections, developments, future events, performance or products, underlying (express or implied) assumptions and other statements which are other than historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "projects," and other similar terminology or the negative of these terms. From time to time we may publish or otherwise make available forward-looking statements of this nature. All such forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, and whether made by us or on our behalf, are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements described in this Form 10-QSB, including those set forth in Section 1A entitled "Factors That May Affect Future Results." In addition, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events, circumstances, or new information after the date of this Form 10-QSB or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated or other subsequent events, and we disclaim any such obligation.

Impact of Inflation
Because of the nature of its services, the Company does not believe that inflation had a significant impact on its sales or profits.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
l. New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “… under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges…” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial conditions.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67” (“SFAS 152). This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application encouraged. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial conditions.
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Shared-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective as of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements. Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 and thereafter.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that current disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Viper Networks, Inc. vs Greenland Corp.
On June 11, 2004 the Company filed an action in Superior Court seeking among other things, recission of an April 25, 2003 agreement with Greenland Corp. The Company considers the contract it entered into with Greenland (wherein Greenland was to receive 2,500,000 common shares of the Company) to have been obtained by fraud. Greenland made numerous false statements and material omissions regarding Greenland Corp.’s financial condition, and failed to disclose investigations and litigation pending or threatened which would impair the value of Greenland. Indeed, subsequent to entering into this transaction, the Company discovered that Greenland had undisclosed tax liabilities nearing $2,000,000. The Internal Revenue Service had imposed tax liens against the property owned by Greenland. The Company also recently learned that at the time of the contract, Greenland Corp.’s majority shareholder and controlling Board of Directors transferred (“up-streamed”) roughly $1,300,000 from Greenland Corp.
It is unfortunate that this transaction resulted in litigation, but it is imperative that the Board of Directors of Viper Networks fulfill its fiduciary responsibility and protect its’ shareholders best interests. As such, we intend to take any and all action necessary to protect the rights of our shareholders. In order to minimize legal fees, as of the date of this filing, this case is in Arbitration. Unfortunately, Greenland has been seeking other forums to force the sale of the Viper stock outside of arbitration (which, to date, the Company has thwarted). The Company feels confident that all matters will be resolved in the Company’s favor, and the 2,500,000 common shares will be returned to treasury.
The Company's officers and directors are aware of no other threatened or pending litigation, which would have a material, adverse effect on us. From time to time we are a defendant (actual or threatened) in certain lawsuits encountered in the ordinary course of its business, the resolution of which, in our opinion, should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
