NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share and share amounts)
| (1) | The Company and Basis of Presentation |
| (a) | Preparation of Interim Financial Statements |
We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The financial information included herein, other than the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, has been prepared without audit. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In the opinion of management, these unaudited statements include all the adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented herein. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
| (b) | Business |
We are a leading online seller of wireless services and devices based on the number of activations of wireless services sold online in the United States. We sell wireless service plans and devices, including satellite television services through our own branded websites; including Wirefly.com, A1 Wireless.com, and VMCsatellite.com and through websites that we create and manage for third parties. We offer marketers the ability to sell wireless voice and data services and devices under mobile virtual network enabler (“MVNE”) agreements. This service utilizes the same e-commerce platform, operational infrastructure and marketing relationships that we use in our operations. We provide customers the ability to organize personal communication by providing real time wireless access to e-mail, voicemail, faxes, contacts, scheduling, calendar and conference calling functionality through a website or telephone.
| (c) | Restatement |
We have restated our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 to reflect the correction of the following errors related to the application of our revenue recognition and cost of revenue accounting policies which had been identified in the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006:
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we had recorded $549 of revenue for commissions from features activations in which it was subsequently determined that collectibility was not reasonably assured. Additionally, prior to the restatement, we recognized $156 related to certain feature activation commissions in the three months ended September 30, 2006, which as a result of the restatement, we have concluded that we had met all revenue recognition criteria as of March 31, 2006. As a result, we reduced our revenue and accounts receivable by $393 for these adjustments.
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we had recorded activations and services revenue net of related reserves as a change in estimate of certain carrier commissions in dispute which we had previously deemed as collectible. Upon further evaluation, we believe that it was inappropriate to have recorded revenue associated with this matter until such commissions are collected from the carrier. In addition, we identified other errors related to the recording of activations and services revenue of approximately $923. Other errors included our recordation of certain commissions from features activations for which it was subsequently determined that collectibility was not reasonably assured and we recognized $389 related to certain feature activation commissions in the three months ended September 30, 2006, which as a result of the restatement, we have concluded that we had met all revenue recognition criteria as of June 30, 2006. Accordingly, we reduced our revenue and accounts receivable by approximately $3,674 for these adjustments.
In addition during the three months ended June 30, 2006, we identified errors that occurred in the recordation of cost of revenue and accounts receivable in the amount of $627 that have been corrected in the accompanying financial statements. These errors included amounts that were overbilled to certain carriers for rebates on purchased handset equipment and rebates recorded for the purchase of certain handset equipment which were subsequently not collected. The impact on our financial statements for these items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 is shown in the table below:

| (d) | Risks and Uncertainties |
Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, actual and potential competition by entities with greater financial resources, rapid technological changes, the need to retain key personnel and protect intellectual property and the availability of additional capital financing on terms acceptable to us.
Since inception we have incurred net losses attributable to common stockholders of approximately $178,547. To date, management has relied on debt and equity financings to fund our operating deficit. While we currently have $52,411 of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand as of June 30, 2006, we may require additional financing to fund future operations.
| (e) | Acquisitions and Discontinued Operations |
We acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of A1 Wireless USA, Inc. (“A1 Wireless”) on January 4, 2005; VMC Satellite, Inc. (“VMC”) on April 26, 2005; and FONcentral.com, Inc. (“FC”) on May 26, 2005. We accounted for these transactions using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141,Business Combinations. Accordingly our results of operations include the operating results of A1 Wireless effective January 1, 2005, VMC as of April 26, 2005 and FC as of May 26, 2005.
On December 31, 2005, we completed the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of our mobile virtual network operator (“MVNO”) Liberty Wireless (“Liberty”) to Teleplus Wireless Corp, a subsidiary of Teleplus Enterprises, Inc. The sale of Liberty has enabled us to streamline and focus our resources on our other operations including the growth of our MVNE business. The sale of Liberty was recorded as a discontinued operation in the financial statements pursuant to SFAS No. 144,Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.Cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations are not disclosed separately in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
| (2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| (a) | Revenue Recognition |
Activations and Services Revenue
We recognize revenue from the sale of wireless services and the provisioning of MVNE and data services.
Wireless Services:We generate revenue from wireless carriers, including a satellite television carrier, who pay commissions and volume and performance-based bonuses, for activating wireless subscribers. We recognize commissions from wireless carriers upon shipment of activated devices to the customer. In addition to activation
8
commissions certain carriers pay us a monthly residual fee either for as long as a customer who we activate for that carrier continues to be its subscriber, or for a fixed period of time depending on the carrier. We purchase satellite activation certificates evidencing activation rights in advance of their resale to customers. Revenue from satellite television customers includes sales of these satellite activation certificates, net of the certificate cost, as we are acting as an agent in the transaction. Our wireless revenue is reduced for estimated deactivations of customers prior to the expiration of a time period that ranges 120 to 180 days from the date of activation, depending on the wireless carrier. We estimate deactivations based on historical experience, which we developed based on our experience with carriers, customer behavior and sources of customers, among other factors, allowing us to accrue estimates with what we believe is a high degree of certainty. If we determine that we cannot accurately predict future deactivation experience, we may be required to defer 100% of our carrier commissions revenue until the expiration of the appropriate chargeback period. Our reserves for deactivations are included in accounts receivable and deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheets.
In addition to receiving commissions for each wireless subscriber activated, we earn performance bonuses from the wireless carriers based on negotiated performance targets. The most significant bonus we earn is the quarterly volume bonus, which we bill wireless carriers for on a monthly basis, based on current month activations. We record these bonuses as deferred revenue at the time of billing until we achieve the quarterly targets. We also earn other quarterly bonuses from certain carriers for maintaining low customer churn and signing up customers for certain additional monthly “features” such as text messaging or data service. Wireless carriers also periodically offer bonuses for achieving monthly volume and other performance targets. We recognize these monthly bonuses as earned in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Revenue is recognized only when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Amounts collected in cash prior to meeting the above criteria are recorded as deferred revenue. Through 2005, commission revenue earned from the activation of carrier features had been deferred until the contractual chargeback period had lapsed. Beginning in 2006, we began to estimate commission revenue earned from feature activations based on historical experience which we have developed based on our experience with carriers and customer behavior over a period of time in excess of 24 months.
MVNE Services:We offer marketers the ability to sell wireless services to their customers under their own brands using our e-commerce platform and operational infrastructure through MVNE contracts. We receive fees for the development of the network platform, for custom functional enhancements to the network platform, and for operational support services. We defer the fees attributable to the production of the network platform and recognize these fees and costs over the expected life of the agreement (typically 12 to 48 months). Fees received for custom functional enhancements to the network platform and for operational services are deferred until all revenue criteria have been satisfied. Deferred revenue from MVNE contracts as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006 was $1,852 and $1,776, respectively.
Data Services:We sell data services, including a service that allows customers to access email, voicemail, facsimiles, contacts and personal calendar information through a website or a telephone; wireless email; and mobile marketing services. We bill customers and recognize revenue monthly, as the services are performed.

Equipment Revenue
Revenue from the sale of wireless devices and accessories in a multiple-element arrangement with services are recognized at the time of sale in accordance withEmerging Issues Task ForceEITF No. 00-21,Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, when fair value of the services element exists. Customers have the right to return devices within a specific period of time or usage, whichever occurs first. We provide an allowance for estimated returns of devices based on historical experience. In accordance with the provisions of SAB No. 104, we determined we have sufficient operating history to estimate equipment returns. In connection with wireless activations, we sell customers wireless devices at a significant discount (equipment discount provision or “EDP”), which is generally in the form of a rebate. Rebates are recorded as a reduction of revenue. We recognize equipment revenue, less a reserve for customer rebates (accrued consumer liabilities), which is based on historical experience of rebates claimed. Future experience could vary based upon rates of consumers redeeming rebates.
In the event a customer terminates their wireless service with the carrier within six months of activation and opts not to return the wireless device to us within the time frames permitted within our return policy, in many instances our sales contracts with the customer permit us to charge the customer an EDP termination fee for each unreturned device. Prior to the three months ended June 30, 2006, revenue recognition of such fee was deferred until such fee was collected from the customer pursuant to SAB 104 as we did not have adequate historical collection data to reasonably estimate the ultimate collectibility of the receivable. Beginning April 1, 2006, we began to estimate EDP termination fee revenue based on historical experience of customer collection behavior which we have developed over a time period of 24 months which provides the basis on which to accrue revenue with an appropriate assurance of collectibility pursuant to SAB 104. As of March 31, 2006, $293 of such revenue was deferred, which would have been accrued for in the event that we had adequate customer collection history, less an estimated reserve for uncollectible amounts. As of June 30, 2006, we had accrued as accounts receivable approximately $786 in such EDP fees. This change in estimate was not significant enough to change our reported net loss per share.
| (b) | Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. We extend credit to wireless network carriers (“carriers”) on an unsecured basis in the normal course of business. Three carriers accounted for 67% and 76% of accounts receivable, net of the deactivation reserve, as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, revenue from three carriers exceeded 10% of our total revenue. Revenue as a percentage of total revenue for these carriers was as follows:

| (d) | Restructuring Costs |
We implemented a restructuring plan following the acquisition of A1 Wireless, to take advantage of synergies gained through the acquisition and to restructure our operations for efficiency purposes. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized $245 in restructuring costs, $219 of which related to workforce

reduction and the remaining $26 to excess facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized $394 in restructuring costs, of which $358 related to workforce reduction and the remaining $36 to excess facilities. All costs related to this plan were paid out in 2005.
11
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we implemented a restructuring plan related to changes in our management and operational structure. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized $1,906 related to the termination of our former president and chief operating officer and thirteen other senior executives and employees. Of this amount, $594 related to severance benefits that will be paid out in cash to the recipients on a monthly or bi-monthly basis over the terms of their respective severance agreements and $1,312 related to severance expenses incurred as a result of the modification of stock-based compensation awards under which vesting of 50% of unvested restricted share and option awards was accelerated for three of the former employees.
At June 30, 2006, we had an accrued liability recorded of $553 of which approximately $473 will be paid out in cash by December 31, 2006. In addition, accrued liabilities included $368 related to the acceleration of the stock-based compensation awards described above under which the underlying shares of common stock were not distributed to two of the recipients by June 30, 2006. We expect to distribute these shares in the third quarter of 2006.
| (e) | Loss on investment |
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we sold all data service software acquired from Avesair Inc. in May 2003, to a third party vendor and wrote off related capitalized labor, intangible assets, goodwill and other costs related to this asset. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a loss of $228 during the three months ended June 30, 2005.
| (f) | Stock-Based Compensation |
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No. 123 (revised 2004),Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method (“MPA”). SFAS No. 123(R) established standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS No. 123(R) requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (usually stock options or unvested (restricted) stock awards) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
Prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we applied the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 44,Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for our stock option grants to employees. Under this method, compensation expense was recorded on the date of the grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“SFAS No. 123”), established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, we had elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and had adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. All shares of restricted stock awarded to employees were accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123.
Under the MPA method, compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of December 31, 2005, is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123, and compensation cost for all share based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, will be based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. We use the ratable method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expense. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In our pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123 for the periods prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account as of the grant date the exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.
12
Stock Options – We have two stock plans under which we have issued or may issue options to purchase shares of our common stock. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”), provided for grants of stock-based awards from time to time to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company at exercise prices determined by the board of directors. Options granted under the 1999 Plan generally vest over a four-year period and expire ten years from the grant date. As of November 19, 2004, no additional options were available for grant under the 1999 Plan due to the adoption of the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”).
The 2004 Plan allows for grants of stock-based awards from time to time to employees, officers, directors and consultants at exercise prices determined by the board of directors. For incentive stock options, the exercise price must be at least equal to fair market value at the date of grant. For nonqualified stock options, the option may be granted with an exercise price less than fair market value. Options granted under the 2004 Plan vest over a period to be determined by the administrator, generally four years, and expire ten years from the grant date.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R), we recognized stock-based compensation expense related to employee options granted prior to January 1, 2006 of $2,299 and $3,858, of which $88 and $235, respectively, was capitalized in accordance with our compensation policies and SFAS No. 123(R).
In addition on March 22 and June 13 of 2006, we granted options to certain of our employees to purchase 679,900 and 207,000 shares of our common stock, respectively. The options granted on March 22, 2006 and June 13, 2006 were granted at an exercise price of $6.46 and $6.51 per share, respectively. The grant date fair value of employee share options was estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected life averaging 5.77 years; an average volatility of 72%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 4.75%. The weighted average fair value per share of options granted was $4.29. Compensation cost of the grant was reduced by an estimated forfeiture amount based on an annual experience rate of 9.93%. As of the date of grants, total compensation cost related to the grants including estimated forfeitures was approximately $2,324 and $715 for the March 22, 2006 and June 13, 2006 grants, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for these grants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $97 and $126 respectively.
The impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) increased stock-based compensation expense included in our operating expenses and reduced net income from continuing operations by approximately $1,244 and $1,748 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 respectively or $0.03 and $0.05 per basic and diluted share. There was no impact from the adoption on cash flow from operations or cash flows from financing activities.
The following table summarizes the activity for stock options granted to employees and non-employees for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

13
Restricted Common Stock – During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we granted 1,205,127 shares of restricted common stock to certain of our key employees. The restrictions on this common stock lapse and the stock vests over periods ranging up to four years from the grant date. The following table summarizes the activity for restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
| Number of Restricted Stock Awards | Weighted-average grant date fair value | |||||
Nonvested at January 1, 2006 | 1,137,878 | $ | 16.48 | |||

Nonvested at June 30, 2006 | 1,893,916 | $ | 10.00 | |||
As of June 30, 2006, there was approximately $14,014 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.71 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $4,899.
Stock Purchase Warrants– In April 2006, we issued a warrant to purchase 566,324 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.35 per share. The estimated fair value of the warrant granted was determined using the Black Scholes Model. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of this warrant was $5.70. The following table summarizes warrant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006:
| Number of warrants | Weighted average exercise price | Range of exercise | |||||||
Balance January 1, 2006 | 787,863 | $ | 8.44 | $ | 0.03 -15.60 | ||||

Balance June 30, 2006 | 1,336,290 | $ | 8.08 | $ | 0.03 -15.60 | ||||
In April 2006, we issued an additional warrant to purchase 188,775 shares of our common stock to a vendor that is exercisable upon certain performance conditions. The exercise price of the warrant will be based on the trading price of our common stock at the time the performance conditions are met by the vendor. Once it is probable that the vendor will achieve the performance conditions set forth under the terms of the warrant, the fair value of the warrant will be amortized to sales and marketing expense over the remaining contractual term of the vendor commitment.
Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2006 were exercisable for 1,336,290 shares of our common stock, excluding this contingent warrant.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we modified the stock-based awards of 5 employees which accelerated the vesting of 81,035 shares of restricted stock and options underlying 122,258 shares of our common stock. As a result of the expedited vesting, we accelerated expense recognition of the compensation cost associated with the newly vested shares. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense includes $1,312 from these actions. Incremental compensation cost arising from the modifications to the vesting terms of the awards was not significant.
| (g) | Net Loss per Share |
We calculate net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per common share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, restricted stock and convertible securities and is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares issuable and outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share equals basic net loss per common share, as the effects of options, warrants, restricted stock and convertible securities will be anti-dilutive.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we incurred a net loss. If our outstanding common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock, the result would have been anti-dilutive and, accordingly, basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share are identical for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

| (1) | We achieved the earn-out performance target stipulated in the VMC Asset Purchase Agreement on February 28, 2006 and accordingly recorded additional goodwill of $2,984. The earn-out consideration consisted of amounts that were paid in cash of $2,362 and 119,389 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $622. Such consideration was in April 2006. |
| (5) | Debt |
We maintain a revolving operating line of credit which allows for aggregate borrowings of up to $25,000 subject to certain limits based on accounts receivable and inventory levels. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there was $15,000 outstanding under this line of credit. As of June 30, 2006, we had no additional borrowing availability under the facility based on the limits described above. The line of credit expires effective January 1, 2007 and accordingly the outstanding balance has been classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2006. Borrowings outstanding under the line of credit are secured by substantially all of our assets. Under the terms of the facility, we are required to maintain a current ratio, as defined, of no less than 1.1 to 1. We are also required to maintain an unrestricted cash balance of no less than $10,000 held at the bank and to meet certain minimum levels of EBITDA, as defined. As of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under the credit facility.
| (6) | Repurchase of Common Stock |
On August 17, 2005, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30,000 of our common stock through August 17, 2006. The shares may be repurchased by us from time to time at prevailing market prices. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased are based on market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which permits shares to be repurchased when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so by laws prohibiting insider trading or by self imposed trading black out periods. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the stock repurchase program, and we may discontinue purchases at any time. We intend to fund our share repurchases with cash on hand and cash generated from future operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased 62,761 shares of our common stock at an average price of $8.01 per share for approximately $503. All shares repurchased were returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock as of June 30, 2006. Since the inception of this program, we have repurchased 1,144,248 shares for an aggregate consideration of $13,591.
| (7) | Commitments and Contingencies |
Legal Matters
On August 5, 2004, Avesair, Inc., one of the companies the assets of which we acquired, filed suit against us demanding, among other matters, that we issue to Avesair shares of our common stock valued at approximately $4,000 as of June 30, 2004. The stock demanded by Avesair represents the maximum value of
17
shares that they could have earned for achieving certain performance-based targets under the asset purchase agreement. We believe the performance-based targets were not achieved and intend to vigorously contest this matter. However, any adverse resolution of this matter could have a material adverse impact on our financial results if we are required to issue additional shares and would result in dilution to our stockholders.
On July 25, 2005, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a Notice of Apparent Liability, asserting that we registered with the FCC and reported and contributed to the Universal Service Fund (USF) and the Telecommunications Relay Service Fund later than required by FCC rules. The FCC has preliminarily proposed to fine us approximately $820 for late payment of such fees. In a letter dated August 24, 2005 we responded to the FCC’s preliminary finding and asserted that no fine is appropriate under the circumstances. However, any adverse resolution of this matter could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
Eight related putative nationwide class actions have been filed against us arising out of InPhonic-sponsored rebate offers for online purchases of wireless telephones. Five of the eight putative class actions also name a third-party rebate processor as a defendant. The rebate processor began to process claims for InPhonic-sponsored rebate offers in or about July 2005, and our agreement with this rebate processor expired in or about July 2006.
We have filed a motion with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) to consolidate the eight actions in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The rebate processor and a majority of the putative class representative plaintiffs have joined our request for consolidation of these cases in the District of Columbia. Other plaintiffs seek consolidation of these cases in the District of Arizona. Our JPML motion is fully briefed and likely to be heard by the JPML in the latter part of September 2006. We expect a decision from the JPML by the fourth quarter of 2006.
Three of the actions were originally filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Three actions were originally filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. One action was originally filed in New Jersey state court, but was subsequently removed to, and remains pending in, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The remaining action was originally filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The putative class action complaints allege, among other things, violations of the consumer protection laws of various states and (in certain lawsuits) the federal RICO (anti-racketeering) statute in connection with our disclosure and implementation of the terms and conditions of rebate offers. The class action plaintiffs seek statutory penalties, treble damages, attorneys’ fees, and punitive damages under the consumer protection statutes, and treble damages and attorneys’ fees under the RICO statute, as well as injunctions concerning the content of our websites.
The federal lawsuits are in an early stage. We have made motions in each of the courts where these cases are pending to defer pre-trial deadlines until the JPML makes its decision on transfer and consolidation. To date, the federal court in the District of Columbia has stayed all proceedings in two of the lawsuits pending the JPML’s ruling, and the federal court in the Northern District of Illinois has entered a substantially similar order. Similar motions remain pending in the New Jersey action and in one of the Arizona actions. We intend to vigorously defend these actions but cannot predict their outcomes.
On June 8, 2006, the Attorney General of the District of Columbia brought a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia (the “DCAG Action”), alleging violations of the D.C. consumer protection statute based on factual allegations that are substantively the same as those in the private putative nationwide class actions. The DCAG Action seeks injunctive relief, restitution for consumers, statutory penalties, and attorneys’ fees. The DCAG Action cannot be removed to federal court or consolidated with the eight federal putative class actions. However, we have asked the JPML to transfer the private actions to the federal court in the District of Columbia so that they can be informally coordinated with the DCAG Action. We answered the complaint on July 28, 2006. We intend to vigorously defend this action, but cannot predict its outcome.
From time to time we are party to other disputes or legal proceedings. We do not believe that any of the pending proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.

| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management had previously concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006. However, in connection with the restatement of our March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006 interim financial statements as fully described in Note 1 of this Form 10-Q/A, management determined that the material weaknesses described below existed as of June 30, 2006. Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have now concluded that disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were not effective as of June 30, 2006 to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified within the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Not withstanding the material weaknesses described below, management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood, that a material misstatement of the annual or interim quarterly financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified material weaknesses in our internal controls including the following:
| • | We did not maintain sufficient staffing of operational and financial resources.We did not maintain staffing in operational and financial resources sufficient to provide the level of controls and analysis required on a timely basis in light of the increasing complexity and growth of our business. This resulted in certain accounting processes and controls not being performed on a timely basis and the inability to maintain an adequate control environment, resulting in numerous material adjusting entries being made after year end. This material weakness contributed to errors such as those relating to proper revenue recognition and accounts receivable described below. |
| • | We did not always effectively communicate information to our finance department. Specifically, we failed to maintain effective communication channels to adequately identify and record certain transactions during 2006. The failure to provide this communication contributed to errors relating to accounting and reporting of expenses and liabilities. This material weakness caused or contributed to, adjustments necessary to appropriately record accounts receivable allowances and reserves for deactivations described below. |
| • | We did not maintain effective controls over the recordation, accuracy and completeness of activations and services revenue and related accounts receivable. |
We did not take steps to adequately identify and appropriately record certain commission and bonus revenue received during the year from various wireless carriers in a timely and accurate manner. Recording amounts received from carriers in the appropriate accounts in a timely and accurate manner is an important business process control that is essential to the correct reporting of amounts in the financial statements. This material weakness contributed to errors relating to accounting and reporting for revenue and accounts receivable.
We did not utilize an appropriate methodology during the year in recording receivables from wireless carriers associated with disputed deactivations, churn bonuses and other carrier related fees. We overstated accounts receivable by using a methodology that anticipated future improvements in collections beyond that supported by past experience, and which did not consider certain current factors and other information. As a result of this material weakness, an adjustment was necessary to properly record revenue and related receivables from these fees.
| • | We did not maintain effective controls over the determination and accuracy of equipment revenue and related accounts receivable.We did not utilize an appropriate methodology during the year in recording certain fees due from consumers when contracts are cancelled within specified time periods and the wireless device is not returned to us. Specifically, related accounts receivable were overstated to the extent that we used collection percentages which anticipated improvements in excess of past experience. As a result of this material weakness, an adjustment was necessary to properly record revenue and related receivables from these fees. |
These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments to our revenue and accounts receivable and certain other financial statement line items as referred to above and resulted in the restatement of previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
With the exception of the items described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting for this current period.
