This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB/A contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, business strategy and expectations concerning industry conditions, market position, future operations, margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or “believe” or similar expressions or the negatives thereof. These expectations are based on management’s assumptions and current beliefs based on currently available information. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will be correct. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB/A. The Company’s operations are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are outside its control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could cause its actual results of operations to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from its expectations are disclosed in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB/A.

NOTE 1- | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-QSB/A and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated statements and notes.

Post-reverse merger, the Company is a provider of wireless and telecommunications services in Canada and the United States of America. The Company’s products include prepaid and postpaid wireless, landline, long distance and Internet services. The Company distributes their products through their websites, third party websites, select distributors in Canada and the United States of America, and through a variety of direct marketing initiatives.
As discussed in Note 4, the Company acquired Keda Consulting Corp., a North American telecommunications industry management consulting service company on April 1, 2005; 1523813 Ontario Limited (Freedom Phone Lines), a Bell Canada reseller of landline and long distance services on April 15, 2005; Avenue Reconnect, Inc. a reseller of landline and long distance services and Internet service provider on June 1, 2005; Telizon, Inc. and 1500536 Ontario, Inc. (One Bill, Inc.), a reseller of landline and long distance service and Internet service provider on July 15, 2005; certain assets of Star Number, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of InPhonic, Inc. related to its Liberty Wireless business on December 29, 2005, effective December 31, 2005; and Maximo Impact, Inc., (“Maximo”) a Cleveland, Ohio based company specializing in marketing and distribution as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”) in the United States of America on June 21, 2006. As part of this transaction, Maximo launched its own wireless brand called MX Mobile which caters to mass merchandisers, general retailers and c-channel retailers calling on convenience stores and gas stations.
On January 13, 2006, Retail, filed in Canada a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal Under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the “Act”). This was done to divest the Company of its retail division. As a result, Retail was deemed to have made an assignment of its assets to its creditors under the Act and discontinued its operations as of February 12, 2006. The retail operations will no longer be a segment of the Company’s business for the year ending December 31, 2006 (see Note 11).
As shown in the accompanying financial statements the Company has a working capital deficiency of $15,302,893 as of September 30, 2006 due to accrued acquisition obligations of $3,577,826 that have been classified as current liabilities, as well as $9,891,481 in derivative liability associated with the convertible debenture issued in December 2005. The Company in July 2006 issued another convertible debenture in the amount of $3,000,000 under a three-year arrangement to assist in the payment of the outstanding acquisition obligations. The Company has discontinued operations of its retail operations which had a negative impact on operating cash flows.

Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to bad debts, income taxes and contingencies. The Company 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 could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included as cash equivalents as of September 30, 2006 is $400,000 in a term deposit which secures a standby letter of credit to Sprint which can be drawn upon by Sprint should the Company fail to make timely payments to them. As of September 30, 2006, no amounts have been drawn by Sprint.
Discontinued Operations
The Company has followed Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Accordingly, the Company recognized as discontinued operations the results from the retail division that has been abandoned. The Company has also written down the assets relating to the retail division to their respective fair values.
Inventories
Inventories consist of wireless and telephony products and related accessories and are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the average cost method, or market.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. (“SFAS 142”), goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but instead are reviewed for impairment annually and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that an asset might be impaired. Under SFAS 142, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment by comparing their fair values to their carrying values. Testing for impairment of goodwill is a two-step process. The first step requires the Company to compare the fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the net assets of the respective reporting units, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and the Company then completes Step 2 to measure the impairment loss, if any. The second step requires the calculation of the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less then the carrying amount of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives.
Other intangible assets consist of trade names, with an estimated useful life of 20 years and customer lists, with an estimated useful life of 8 years, of companies acquired by the Company and are reflected below:

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue through the resale of residential and commercial telephone lines. The resale of long distance revenues are recorded at the time of customer usage based upon minutes of use. Basic monthly charges for business and residential customers are billed in advance and recorded as unearned revenue and recognized upon the customer receiving the service.

NOTE 2- | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
Revenue Recognition (Continued)
The Company’s revenue is also generated from the sale of wireless, telephony products and accessories to end-users. The Company recognizes this revenue when the criteria for Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 (and as clarified in Staff Accounting Bulletin 104) is achieved. The criteria are as follows: when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is probable.
The Company’s suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by the Company and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. The Company does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier.
Accounts Receivable
The Company conducts business and extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. The criteria for allowance provision are determined based on historical experience and the Company’s assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If the Company’s actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. As of September 30, 2006, the allowance for doubtful accounts is $46,557.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.
Currency Translation
The Company translates income and expense amounts at average exchange rates for the year, translates assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates and equity at historical rates. The Company’s reporting currency is that of the US dollar while its functional currency is that of the Canadian dollar. The Company records these translation adjustments as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognized a gain (loss) of $518,810 and ($12,972) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Reclassifications and Restatement
Certain amounts reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The reclassifications had no effect on net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Comprehensive Income
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No, 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” (SFAS No. 130). SFAS No. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations.
Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.
Deferred Connection Charges
Deferred connection charges are costs incurred in setting up new commercial telephone lines. The Company amortizes deferred connection charges over five years. The determination of the useful life is based on the average life that the telephone line is provided by the Company. As of September 30, 2006, the deferred connection charges are $168,506. Amortization of the deferred connection charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are $32,833 and $14,827, respectively.
Deferred Financing Fees
Deferred financing fees represents fees paid in connection with the issuance of convertible debentures. The fees are being amortized over a period of three years, the life of the financial instrument. As of September 30, 2006, the deferred financing fees are $1,027,705. Amortization of the deferred finance fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are $238,959 and $140,321, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with highly quality financial institutions as determined by the Company’s management. To reduce risk of trade accounts receivable, ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition are performed, guarantees or other collateral may be required, and the Company maintains a broad customer base.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (other than Derivative Financial Instruments)
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. For the notes payable, the carrying amount reported is based upon the incremental borrowing rates otherwise available to the Company for similar borrowings. For the convertible debentures, fair values were calculated at net present value using the Company’s weighted average borrowing rate for debt instruments without conversion features applied to total future cash flows of the instruments.
Convertible Instruments
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity securities for indications requiring bifurcation, and separate accounting, for the embedded conversion feature. Generally, embedded conversion features where the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is not within the control of the Company are bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. (See Derivative Financial Instruments below). Bifurcation of the embedded derivative instrument requires allocation of the proceeds first to the fair value of the embedded derivative instrument with the residual allocated to the debt instrument. The resulting discount to the face value of the debt instrument is amortized through periodic charges to the amortization of debt discount using the Effective Interest Method.

NOTE 2- | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow or market risks. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants or options to acquire common stock and the embedded conversion features of debt and preferred instruments that are indexed to the Company’s common stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses rights to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net share settlement is not within the control of the Company. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial accounting and reporting, even when the terms of the underlying contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. These derivative financial instruments are indexed to an aggregate of 148,275,689 shares of the Company’s common stock as of September 30, 2006 and are carried at fair value of $9,891,481.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the costs associated with advertising as incurred. Advertising expenses are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which are machinery and equipment with estimated useful lives ranging between three and seven years; business software with estimated useful lives ranging between three and ten years; and leasehold improvements with an estimated useful life of five years
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Deduction is made for retirements resulting from renewals or betterments.

NOTE 2- | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. The Company does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the conversion of debentures, and exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents will not be included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be antidilutive for periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-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, as amended, are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the first interim period after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted these provisions on January 1, 2006. The adoption to FASB 123(R) did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
If compensation expense for the Company's stock-based compensation plans had been determined consistent with SFAS 123, amended by SFAS 148 (“Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”), the Company's net income and net income per share including pro forma results would have been the amounts indicated below:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 is a replacement of APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes the requirements for accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement establishes that, unless impracticable, retrospective application is the required method for reporting of a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. It also requires the reporting of an error correction which involves adjustments to previously issued financial statements similar to those generally applicable to reporting an accounting change retrospectively. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 154 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments” (“SFAS 155”). FASB 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will evaluate the impact of SFAS 155 on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FSB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The standard permits an entity to subsequently measure each class of servicing assets or servicing liabilities at fair value and report changes in fair value in the statement of operations in the period in which the changes occur. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company as of December 1, 2006. The Company does not expect the new standard to have any material impact on its financial position or results of its operations.
Fixed assets as of September 30, 2006 were as follows:

Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement dated December 13, 2005 with Cornell. The securities purchase agreement relates to the $9,225,000 secured convertible debenture described above. In accordance with the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to enter into (i) an amended and restated investor registration rights agreement to provide registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for shares of the Company’s common stock that could be issued upon conversion of the amounts owed for principal and interest under the convertible debentures described above, (ii) an amended and restated security agreement to provide a blanket lien against our property as described above, (iii) an amended and restated pledge and escrow agreement under which the Company and Visioneer pledged his shares of the Company’s common stock to Cornell, and (iv) an amended and restated security agreement among the Company and Cornell.

Amended and Restated Subsidiary Security Agreement. The Company entered into an amended and restated subsidiary security agreement dated December 13, 2005. The material terms of the amended and restated subsidiary security agreement are the same as the security agreement that the Company executed with Cornell.
The convertible debentures meet the definition of hybrid instruments, as defined in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). The hybrid instruments are comprised of a i) a debt instrument, as the host contract and ii) an option to convert the debentures into common stock of the Company, as an embedded derivative. The embedded derivative derives its value based on the underlying fair value of the Company’s common stock. The Embedded Derivative is not clearly and closely related to the underlying host debt instrument since the economic characteristics and risk associated with this derivative are based on the common stock fair value. The Company has separated the embedded derivative from the hybrid instrument based on a valuation of $5,087,378 as of December 13, 2005 and classified the Embedded Derivative as a current liability with an offsetting debit to debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the debenture based on the effective interest method.
The embedded derivative does not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a gain or loss on the embedded derivative financial instrument in the accompanying statements of operations. There was a gain of $1,670,171 recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Legal Proceedings
The following proceedings have been instigated against the Company. The Company does not believe that the following legal proceedings have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s business or on its results of its operations.
Proposed Tax Assessment: 3577996 Canada, Inc. which the Company had acquired substantially all of their assets, is involved in proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec (“MRQ”). The MRQ has proposed an assessment for the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and Quebec Sales Tax (“QST”) of approximately $474,000 (CND $) and penalties of approximately $168,000 (CND $). The proposed tax assessment including penalties is for $322,000 (CND $) for QST and $320,000 (CND $) for GST. The Company believes that certain deductions initially disallowed by the MRQ for the QST are deductible and is in the process of compiling the deductions to the MRQ. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

This matter arises out of an alleged agreement between the plaintiff and the Company. The plaintiff is seeking specific performance of the alleged agreement, monetary damages and a declaratory judgment for the payment of a commission allegedly due to the plaintiff in an amount equal to 10% of all funds received by the Company from Cornell. The Company has filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff seeking rescission of the alleged agreement and a refund of $100,000 paid by the Company to the plaintiff. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit, that the plaintiff’s claims are unfounded and that the Company has good defenses against the claims asserted by the plaintiff. The Company also believes that it has good claims for the rescission of the agreement and for the refund of the amount paid to the plaintiff. The Company intends to contest and defend against the plaintiff’s claims. The foregoing notwithstanding, total liability to the Company, should it lose the lawsuit, could reach a maximum of 10% of all funds received by Cornell.

Growth in the United States of America
The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Wireless Corp. (f/k/a Teleplus Wireless, Corp.) (“Liberty Wireless”) is offering wireless prepaid services through its Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”) agreement with Sprint/Nextel. Liberty Wireless services are primarily, but not exclusively, catered to the “unbanked” or “prepaid” segment of the market. “Unbanked” customers are those customers who are not able to access the carriers’ offers as they don’t qualify under the carriers’ credit policies. Nonetheless, the “unbanked” segment is the fastest growing segment in the wireless and telecom industry. This segment is currently poorly serviced by the incumbents, thus creating an opportunity for Liberty Wireless to take a substantial share of the market. This market was first developed in Europe, where more than 20 MVNO’s can be found. Virgin Mobile of England and Wireless Maingate of Sweden were among the first group of MVNO’s launched in Europe.
To facilitate the rollout of this service in the United States, the Company acquired:
| · | Certain assets of Star Number, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of InPhonic, Inc. related to its Liberty Wireless business on December 29, 2005, effective December 31, 2005, the third largest wireless reseller on the Sprint PCS network, which provided the Company with an established customer base and strong infrastructure; and |
| · | Maximo Impact, Inc., (“Maximo”) a Cleveland, Ohio based company specializing in marketing and distribution as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”) in the United States of America. As part of this transaction, Maximo launched its own wireless brand called MX Mobile which caters to mass merchandisers, general retailers and c-channel retailers calling on convenience stores and gas stations. |
| · | In June 2006, Liberty Wireless and PeopleSupport, Inc. (“PSPT”) entered into a three-year customer support agreement. Under the agreement, PSPT will provide customer management, transcription and captioning, accounts receivable management and additional business process outsourcing services from its centers in the Philippines, Costa Rica and the United States of America, as its strategic provider of customer management support. |
Growth in Canada
The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary TelePlus Connect Corp. (“TelePlus Connect”) is offering landline and long distance prepaid services to selected individuals in Canada who cannot obtain basic telecom services from traditional telecom carriers. These individuals are often called the “unbanked”.
To facilitate the rollout of this service in Canada, the Company acquired:
| · | Keda Consulting Corp., a North American telecommunications industry management consulting service company on April 1, 2005 specializing in business development, sales and marketing and operations. Following this acquisition, Keda Consulting Corp. changed its name to TelePlus Connect Corp. and their management took over the operations of the Company’s prepaid landline and long distance telephone service operations; |
| · | 1523813 Ontario Limited (Freedom Phone Lines), a Bell Canada reseller of landline and long distance services on April 15, 2005 headquartered in Ontario, Canada which services over 3,300 customers in the Ontario area, generating approximately $2,500,000 in annual revenues; |
| · | Avenue Reconnect, Inc. a reseller of landline and long distance services and Internet service provider on June 1, 2005 headquartered in Windsor, Ontario which services over 2,000 residential users primarily in Ontario, generating approximately $1,100,000 in annual revenues; and |
| · | Telizon, Inc. and 1500536 Ontario, Inc. (One Bill, Inc.), a reseller of landline and long distance service and Internet service provider on July 15, 2005 headquartered in Ontario, Canada which services over 18,000 commercial and residential lines in the Ontario area, generating approximately $12,000,000 in annual revenues. |
Current estimates place the “unbanked “ or “prepaid” market in North America at 9.5% of total households and the market size is estimated at over $ 1 billion.

As a result, the Company as of September 30, 2006 has a working capital deficiency of $15,302,893. The Company could generate additional funds through the warrants granted to Cornell, however, with the stock price below exercise price levels, the Company cannot rely on these proceeds at this time to cure their working capital deficiency.

Risk Factors
Risks Related to the Company’s Business
Investing in the Company’s securities involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in the Company’s securities, you should consider the following discussion of risk factors, other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A, and the extensive discussion of the risk factors contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s future results may also be impacted by other risk factors listed from time to time in the Company’s future filings with the SEC, including but not limited to the Quarterly Reports of Form 10-QSB and the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
We Are Currently Involved in Legal Proceedings
As more fully described in Part II – Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings which may materially affect the cash flows or results of its operations should there be unfavorable resolutions.
We Have Lost Money Historically Which Means That We May Not Be Able to Maintain Profitability
From 2003 up through December 31, 2005, we have not been profitable and have lost money on both a cash and overall basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized a net loss of $(2,361,645), including a loss from discontinued operations of $(248,608), and our accumulated deficit was $(8,940,917). No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems. If our losses continue, our ability to operate may be severely impacted.
We Are Subject To A Working Capital Deficit
As of September 30, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $15,302,893, and should we be unable to increase our current assets to satisfy our current liabilities, our operations could be at risk.
Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted to cash within one year and, therefore, may be used to pay current liabilities as they become due. Our working capital deficiency means that our current assets as of September 30, 2006 were not sufficient to satisfy all of our current liabilities as of that date. If our ongoing operations do not begin to provide sufficient profitability to offset the working capital deficiency, we may have to raise additional capital or debt to fund the deficit or curtail future operations.
Our Obligations Under The Secured Convertible Debentures Are Secured By All of Our Assets
Our obligations under the secured convertible debentures, issued to Cornell are secured by all of our assets. As a result, if we default under the terms of the secured convertible debentures, Cornell could foreclose its security interest and liquidate all of our assets. This would cease operations.
Our Common Stock May be Affected By Limited Trading Volume And May Fluctuate Significantly, Which May Affect Our Shareholders’ Ability To Sell Shares of Our Common Stock
There has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market for our common stock will develop. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our stock will be stable or appreciate over time. These factors may negatively impact shareholders’ ability to sell shares of our common stock.
Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be A “Penny Stock” As That Term Is Defined In Rule 3a51-1 Promulgated Under The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, As Amended
These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock:
| · | With a price of less than $5.00 per share; |
| · | That are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; |
| · | Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or |
| · | In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years; and |
| · | Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. |
We Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel, Which Could Be Detrimental To Our Operations
Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of key executives, including Marius Silvasan, our Chief Executive Officerand Tom Davis, our Chief Operating Officer. The loss of the services of any of the foregoing persons could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to find their successor. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain key-man life insurance policies on any of the foregoing persons. We also have other key employees who manage our operations and if were to lose their services, senior management would be required to expend time and energy to find and train their replacements. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources we may not be able to attract the sufficient number and quality of staff.
We Are Subject To Price Volatility Due To Our Operations Materially Fluctuating
As a result of the evolving nature of the markets in which we compete, as well as the current nature of the public markets and our current financial condition, we believe that our operating results may fluctuate materially, as a result the quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. If in some future quarter, whether as a result of such a fluctuation or otherwise, our results of operations fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. You should not rely on our results of any interim period as an indication of our future performance. Additionally, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control.
Factors that may cause our quarterly results to fluctuate include, among others:
| · | Our ability to retain existing clients and customers; |
| · | Our ability to attract new clients and customers at a steady rate; |
| · | Our ability to maintain customer satisfaction; |
| · | The extent to which our products gain market acceptance; |
| · | The timing and size of client and customer purchases; |
| · | Introductions of products and services by competitors; |
| · | Price competition in the markets in which we compete; |
| · | Our ability to attract, train, and retain skilled management; |
| · | The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure; and |
| · | General economic conditions and economic conditions specific to wireless and portable communication device industry. |
We May Not Be Able To Compete Effectively In Markets Where Our Competitors Have More Resources
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer relationships with clients, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources than the Company. Based on total assets and annual revenues, we are significantly smaller than many of our competitors. Similarly, we compete against significantly larger and better-financed companies in our business. We may not successfully compete in any market in which we conduct business currently or in the future. The fact that we compete with well established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories than us, enables them to engage in more substantial advertising and promotion and attract a greater number of customers and businesses than we currently attract. While this competition is already intense, if it increases, it could have an even greater adverse impact on our revenues and profitability.
Our Limited Operating History In Our Industry Makes It Difficult To Forecast Our Future Results
As a result of our limited operating history, our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
If We Do Not Successfully Establish Strong Brand Identity In The Markets We Are Currently Serving, We May Be Unable To Achieve Widespread Acceptance Of Our Products
We believe that establishing and strengthening our products is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our future products and to establish key strategic relationships. The importance of brand recognition will increase as current and potential competitors enter the market with competing products. Our ability to promote and position our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide high quality products and customer support. These activities are expensive and we may not generate a corresponding increase in customers or revenue to justify these costs. If we fail to establish and maintain our brand, or if our brand value is damaged or diluted, we may be unable to attract new customers and compete effectively.
Future Acquisitions May Disrupt Our Business And Deplete Our Financial Resources
Any future acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition. We intend to consider investments in complementary companies, products, and technologies. While we have no current agreements to do so, we anticipate buying businesses, products and/or technologies in the future in order to fully implement our business strategy. In the event of any future acquisitions, we may:
| · | Issue stock that would dilute our current shareholders’ percentage ownership; |
| · | Incur impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets we acquire; or |
| · | Incur large and immediate write-offs. |
The use of debt to finance our future acquisitions should allow us to make acquisitions with an amount of cash in excess of what may be currently available to us. If we use debt to leverage up our assets, we may not be able to meet our debt obligations if our internal projections are incorrect or if there is a market downturn. This may result in a default and the loss in foreclosure proceedings of the acquired business or the possible bankruptcy of our business.
Our operation of any acquired business will also involve numerous risks, including:
| · | Integration of the operations of the acquired business and its technologies or products; |
| · | Diversion of management’s attention from our core business; |
| · | Adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; |
| · | Risks associated with entering markets in which we have limited prior experience; and |
| · | Potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the purchased companies. |
If We Are Unable To Respond To The Rapid Changes In Technology And Services Which Characterize Our Industry, Our Business And Financial Condition Could Be Negatively Affected
Our business is directly impacted by changes in the wireless communications industry. The wireless communications products and services industry is subject to rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Changes in technology could affect the market of our products, accelerate the obsolescence of our inventory and necessitate changes to our product line. We believe that our future success will depend largely on our ability to anticipate or adapt to such changes, to offer on a timely basis, services and products that meet these evolving standards and demand of our customers, and our ability to manage and maximize our product inventory and minimize our inventory of older and obsolete products. We also believe that our future success will depend upon how successfully our wireless carrier service providers and product vendors are able to respond to the rapidly changing technologies and products. New wireless communications technology, including personal communication services and voice communication over the internet may reduce demand for the wireless communication devices and services we currently are able to offer through our wireless carrier service providers. We cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to respond successfully to these or other technological changes, or to new products and services offered by our current and future competitors, and cannot predict whether we will encounter delays or problems in these areas, which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of our operations.
We Rely In Large Part On One Wireless Telecommunications Carrier With Whom We Have Business Arrangements. Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Meet Our Obligations To This Carrier And The Abilities Of Our Wireless Telecommunications Carrier
We depend on our wireless telecommunications carrier and product manufacturers to provide our customers with wireless services and communication devices. Currently our wireless products and services accounts are dependent upon arrangements with Sprint Spectrum L.P. After an initial three-year term, such arrangement may be renewed for additional one-year terms, unless either party elects not to renew by providing 120 days prior written notice. Failure to maintain continuous relationships with this and other wireless communications with this and other wireless communication carriers and product manufactures would materially and aversely affect our business, including possibly requiring us to significantly curtail or cease our operations. Additionally, wireless telecommunications carriers may sometimes experience equipment failures and service interruptions, which could, if frequent, adversely affect customer confidence, our business operations and our reputation.
We Rely In Large Part On One Telecom Service Provider With Whom We Have Business Arrangements. Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Meet Our Obligations To This Provider And The Abilities Of Our Provider
We depend on one provider to provide our customers with telecom services. Currently, our telecom service accounts are dependent upon arrangements with Bell Canada. Our long distance contract expires in 2007 and our line contract expires in 2008. Each agreement may be renewed for additional terms of at least two-years, unless either party elects not to renew by providing 30 days prior written notice. Failure to maintain continuous relationships with this and other telecom providers would materially and adversely affect our business, including possibly requiring us to significantly curtail or cease our operations.
No Product Exclusivity
The products we currently sell are not exclusive to us thus allowing our competitors to offer similar products and potentially better prices.
Price Erosion
We are faced with high price elasticity resulting in the erosion of its margin on certain products. Price wars oftentimes occur in the industry which have a negative impact on profit margins.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting polices include the areas where we have made what we consider to be particularly subjective or complex judgments in making estimates and where these estimates can significantly impact our financial results under different assumptions and conditions.
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimate, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different than those estimates.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Discontinued Operations
The Company has followed Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Accordingly, the Company recognized as discontinued operations the results from the retail division that has been abandoned. The Company has also written down the assets relating to the retail division to their respective fair values.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. (“SFAS 142”), goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but instead are reviewed for impairment annually and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that an asset might be impaired. Under SFAS 142, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment by comparing their fair values to their carrying values. Testing for impairment of goodwill is a two-step process. The first step requires the Company to compare the fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the net assets of the respective reporting units, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and the Company then completes Step 2 to measure the impairment loss, if any. The second step requires the calculation of the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less then the carrying amount of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue through the resale of residential and commercial telephone lines. The resale of long distance revenues are recorded at the time of customer usage based upon minutes of use. Basic monthly charges for business and residential customers are billed in advance and recorded as unearned revenue and recognized upon the customer receiving the service.
The Company’s revenue is also generated from the sale of wireless, telephony products and accessories to end-users. The Company recognizes this revenue when the criteria for Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 (and as clarified in Staff Accounting Bulletin 104) is achieved. The criteria are as follows: when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is probable.
The Company’s suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by the Company and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. The Company does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier.
Accounts Receivable
The Company conducts business and extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. The criteria for allowance provision are determined based on historical experience and the Company’s assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If the Company’s actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.
Currency Translation
The Company translates income and expense amounts at average exchange rates for the year, translates assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates and equity at historical rates. The Company’s reporting currency is that of the US dollar while its functional currency is that of the Canadian dollar. The Company records these translation adjustments as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. The Company does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents will not be included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be antidilutive for periods presented.
Stock-Based Compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-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, as amended, are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the first interim period after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted these provisions on January 1, 2006 and the adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (other than Derivative Financial Instruments)
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. For the notes payable, the carrying amount reported is based upon the incremental borrowing rates otherwise available to the Company for similar borrowings. For the convertible debentures, fair values were calculated at net present value using the Company’s weighted average borrowing rate for debt instruments without conversion features applied to total future cash flows of the instruments.
Convertible Instruments
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity securities for indications requiring bifurcation, and separate accounting, for the embedded conversion feature. Generally, embedded conversion features where the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is not within the control of the Company are bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. (See Derivative Financial Instruments below). Bifurcation of the embedded derivative instrument requires allocation of the proceeds first to the fair value of the embedded derivative instrument with the residual allocated to the debt instrument. The resulting discount to the face value of the debt instrument is amortized through periodic charges to interest expense using the Effective Interest Method.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow or market risks. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants or options to acquire common stock and the embedded conversion features of debt and preferred instruments that are indexed to the Company’s common stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses rights to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net share settlement is not within the control of the Company. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial accounting and reporting, even when the terms of the underlying contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 is a replacement of APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes the requirements for accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement establishes that, unless impracticable, retrospective application is the required method for reporting of a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. It also requires the reporting of an error correction which involves adjustments to previously issued financial statements similar to those generally applicable to reporting an accounting change retrospectively. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 154 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments” (“SFAS 155”). FASB 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will evaluate the impact of SFAS 155 on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FSB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The standard permits an entity to subsequently measure each class of servicing assets or servicing liabilities at fair value and report changes in fair value in the statement of operations in the period in which the changes occur. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company as of December 1, 2006. The Company does not expect the new standard to have any material impact on its financial position or results of its operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect thereof on its operations, it does not believe inflation, currency fluctuations or interest rate changes have historically had a material effect on its revenues or results of operations. Any significant effects of inflation, currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates on the economies of the United States of America, and Canada could adversely impact the Company’s revenues and results of operations in the future. If there is a material adverse change in the relationship between Canadian currencies and the United States Dollar, such change would adversely affect the result of the Company’s operations as reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not hedged its exposure with respect to this currency risk as of September 30, 2006, but intends to review its exposure on a quarterly basis, and using a cost-benefit analysis, determine whether it should enter into arrangements to mitigate this risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures and implementing controls and procedures based upon the application of management’s judgment.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the Restatements of these financial statements, the Audit Committee has reevaluated certain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As a result, the Audit Committee has established additional protocols for certifying officers, senior management and the Company’s accounting and finance staff to monitor closely new accounting pronouncements that impact the Company’s financial statements. This includes continuing education of its staff including review of new pronouncements and awareness of those pronouncements being discussed, and the evaluation of their impact on the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis. The Audit Committee and the Company has also engaged an independent consultant to assist the Company in its reporting process and period-end and annual closings.
In connection with this Form 10-QSB/A, we have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 14, 2006, including the remedial actions discussed above, and we have concluded that, as of November 14, 2006 our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
The following proceedings have been instigated against the Company. The Company does not believe that the following legal proceedings have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s business or on its results of its operations.
Proposed Tax Assessment: 3577996 Canada, Inc. which the Company had acquired substantially all of their assets, is involved in proceedings with the Minister of Revenue of Quebec (“MRQ”). The MRQ has proposed an assessment for the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and Quebec Sales Tax (“QST”) of approximately $474,000 (CND $) and penalties of approximately $168,000 (CND $). The proposed tax assessment including penalties is for $322,000 (CND $) for QST and $320,000 (CND $) for GST. The Company believes that certain deductions initially disallowed by the MRQ for the QST are deductible and is in the process of compiling the deductions to the MRQ. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
Wrongful Dismissal: A former employee of a subsidiary of the Company, has instigated a claim in Quebec Superior Court in the amount of $90,000 (CND $) against the Company for wrongful dismissal. The Company does not believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. The parties are in the discovery stages.
Wrongful Dismissal: There is a claim from three individuals in British Columbia in the amount of approximately $147,000 and the issuance of 510,00 shares of common stock for which a letter of demand has been served to the Company. The Company does not believe the claim to be founded and intends to vigorously contest such claim. No court proceedings have been instituted and the Company has been in discussions with the aforementioned individuals.
Consulting Fee: On April 13, 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey (Newark) (Case No. 05-2058) by Howard Salamon d/b/a “Salamon Brothers” (as the plaintiff) against the Company. This matter arises out of an alleged agreement between the plaintiff and the Company. The plaintiff is seeking specific performance of the alleged agreement, monetary damages and a declaratory judgment for the payment of a commission allegedly due to the plaintiff in an amount equal to 10% of all funds received by the Company from Cornell. The Company has filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff seeking rescission of the alleged agreement and a refund of $100,000 paid by the Company to the plaintiff. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit, that the plaintiff’s claims are unfounded and that the Company has good defenses against the claims asserted by the plaintiff. The Company also believes that it has good claims for the rescission of the alleged agreement and for the refund of the amount paid to the plaintiff. The Company is currently contesting and defending against the plaintiff’s claims. The foregoing notwithstanding, total liability to the Company, should it lose the lawsuit, could reach a maximum of 10% of all funds received by Cornell.
Consulting Fee: On November 30, 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court, State of California, County of San Diego (Case No. GIC 857605) by Business Consulting Group Unlimited (“BCGU”) against the Company. The suit arises out of an agreement between BCGU and the Company. BCGU alleges that the Company is in breach of the agreement they entered into, and is seeking damages from the Company for certain tranches of compensation it allegedly earned and was to receive under this agreement. The compensation allegedly earned consist of $250,000 in cash, 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, the right to exercise warrants ranging between $0.65 and $1.00 per share. The Company has not granted the warrants to BCGU to purchase additional shares of common stock.
The Company believes the case is without merit, that BCGU’s claim’s are unfounded and that the Company has good defenses against the claims asserted by BCGU and is vigorously defending the case. The Company filed a cross-complaint against BCGU and filed a third party complaint against a company recommended by BCGU who failed to provide promised services. The Company also believes that it has good claims for breach of the agreement by BCGU and for a refund of the amount already paid to BCGU.
The following claim has been instigated by the Company:
A subsidiary of the Company has instigated a claim against Wal-Mart Canada Corp. on September 23, 2004 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in the amount of $5,000,000 for breach of an agreement between the partiers. This claim is in the discovery stages.
