NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: |
Lexcom, Inc. and Subsidiary operate principally in the communications industry and grant credit to customers, substantially all of whom are residents of Davidson County, North Carolina, in accordance with standard industry practice. Lexcom Telephone Company and Lexcom Long Distance, LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lexcom Telephone Company) are subject to regulation by the State of North Carolina Utilities Commission and the Federal Communications Commission. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lexcom, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lexcom Telephone Company (hereinafter referred to collectively as the Company). Lexcom Cable Services, LLC, Lexcom Long Distance, LLC, and Lexcom Wireless, LLC are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Lexcom Telephone Company whose accounts are also included herein. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Temporary Investments
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company classifies as cash and temporary investments all cash and money market accounts which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions and all highly liquid debt instruments and certificates of deposit purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
The Company places their cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. In October and November 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) temporarily increased coverage to $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts and temporarily provides unlimited coverage for certain qualifying and participating non-interest bearing transaction accounts. The increased coverage is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013 at which time it is anticipated amounts insured by the FDIC will return to $100,000. During the periods, the Company from time to time may have had amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $6,951,947 in bank deposits which exceeded these insured amounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that continue to remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable.
Inventories
Materials and supplies are valued at average cost, which is not in excess of market.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): |
Investments
The Company has investments in debt and equity securities, and a cooperative. Investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Equity securities consist primarily of common stock holdings of a variety of companies in diverse industries.
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities that have readily determinable fair values. Classification is determined at the date individual investment securities are acquired, and the appropriateness of such classification is reassessed at each balance sheet date. Since the Company neither buys investment securities in anticipation of short-term fluctuations in market prices nor has debt securities which were purchased with the intent to hold to maturity, no investments are classified as trading or held-to-maturity.
The Company’s investments in marketable debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses, net of the related deferred tax effects, are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
Investments Carried at Cost
Investments carried at cost are investments in which the Company does not have significant ownership and for which there is no ready market. Information regarding these and all other investments is reviewed continuously for evidence of impairment in value.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Additions to property, plant, and equipment consist of all direct construction, labor and materials, and related construction costs, including administrative, engineering, and general overhead.
The cost of units of property retired, together with their cost of removal, is deducted from accumulated depreciation, and any salvage is added to accumulated depreciation. The cost of related replacement units of property is added to utility plant. Repairs to and replacement of items which are less than units of property are charged to maintenance expense.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment is computed by use of the straight-line method.
Amortization is computed by use of the straight-line method. Pre-maturity costs related to the construction of the cable television system are being amortized over fifteen years.

1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): |
Income Taxes
The Company reports income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109),Accounting for Income Taxes,which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary difference between financial statement and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect in the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,and has assessed if it had any significant uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and determined there were none. Accordingly, no reserve for uncertain tax positions was recorded.
The Company’s policy is to report interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2005 and forward are subject to audit.
Revenue Recognition
Toll access and local service revenues are recognized when earned regardless of the period in which they are billed.
Taxes Collected
The Company collects federal excise tax, communications tax, and sales tax from customers. The amount billed or collected is credited to a liability account and, as payments are made, this account is charged. At any point in time, this account represents the net amount owed to the taxing authorities for amounts billed or collected.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s investments in common stock are diversified in different sectors. The severity of the impairment and the duration of the losses are due to overall conditions in the equity markets at December 31, 2008. The Company’s investment advisors have evaluated the prospects of the issuers. Based on that evaluation and the Company’s ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time, management does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2008. The Company did not have any investments in common stock at September 30, 2009.
The unrealized losses on the Company’s mutual fund holdings were caused by general market and economic conditions. Based on an evaluation by the Company’s investment advisors, these funds are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2008. The Company had no unrealized losses at September 30, 2009.
The Company had a diversified portfolio of common stock investments at December 31, 2008 and mutual funds for both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The investments shown above have been classified in the accompanying 2009 and 2008 consolidated balance sheets as noncurrent assets.

At September 30, 2009, the entities had $15,590,716 of state net operating losses available to offset 2009 state net taxable income. These carryforwards expire in years 2012 through 2021.

The state net operating loss carryforwards of Lexcom Cable Services, Inc. are available only to offset future income from Lexcom Cable Services, LLC. Any state net operating losses subsequent to the merger are available to offset income generated by Lexcom Telephone Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Income taxes for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 differ from the amounts computed by using the applicable federal income tax statutory rate due to the following:

7. | Fair Value Information: |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SF AS) No. 157 established a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Outlined below is the application of the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS 157 to Lexcom, Inc. and Subsidiary’s assets that are carried at fair value:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets and significant other observable inputs.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Description | | September 30 2009 | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |

8. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments: |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values, where practicable to estimate, for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions for the Company’s financial instruments are set forth below:
Cash and Temporary Investments
For cash and temporary investments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investments
The fair values of investments “available-for-sale” are estimated based on quoted market prices. For other investments for which there are no quoted market prices, a reasonable estimate of fair value could not be made without incurring excessive cost. SFAS 107 does not require disclosure of the fair value of the Company’s investment in equity method investees.
