1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
The Company was incorporated as Bear River Resources, Inc. in the State of Nevada on October 12, 2006 and has been registered as an extra-provincial company under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on November 6, 2006. Prior to February 17, 2009 the Company was a Development Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No.7 "Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises". The Company's principal business was the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.
The Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to register 10,087,000 post-forward split common shares for sale by existing shareholders. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the resale of common stock by existing shareholders. The SB-2 Registration Statement was declared effective on September 18, 2007.
On October 21, 2008 the Company changed its name to Omnicity Corp. and increased its issued share capital on a 7.7 new for 1 old basis. The Company increased its authorized share capital to 200,000,000 common shares and changed its trading symbol to "OMCY". All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated.
On February 17, 2009, the Company acquired, by way of an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Omnicity Acquistion Co., a wholly-owned Indiana subsidiary, and Omnicity, Incorporated, an Indiana company, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Omnicity, Incorporated. Omnicity Incorporated (incorporated in August, 2003) provides broadband access, including advanced services of voice, video and data, in un-served and underserved small and rural markets and is planning to be a consolidator of rural market broadband nationwide. Omnicity's strategy is to provide a total broadband solution and continue growth through acquisitions, organic growth and partner with Rural Electric Membership Co-ops and Rural Telephone Companies. The total purchase price was 23,000,000 post-forward split restricted common shares of the Company. In addition the Company caused 33,880,000 founders' post-forward split common shares of the Company to be cancelled leaving 33,087,007 post-forward split common shares issued and outstanding.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated revenues but has sustained losses since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued forbearance from creditors and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary debt or equity funding to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at April 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,735,643 and a stockholders' deficit of $1,110,700. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liab ilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has been addressing the liquidity and working capital issues and continues to raise additional capital through short-term notes, vendor notes, sale leaseback arrangements, debt settlements, a subordinated debenture offering and issuance of equity securities. Management believes this additional capital and the expanded customer base from the Definitive Asset Acquisitions will provide the Company the opportunity to be operationally cash flow positive in the near-term and attain profitability within a year.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company's fiscal year-end is July 31.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 and the unaudited financial statements for the three months ended October 31, 2008, included in the Company's Form 8K filed on February 21, 2009 with the SEC.
The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at April 30, 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Co mpany's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Amount due bank represents checks written and released but not yet presented to the bank for payment, effectively outstanding checks in excess of bank balances.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit. There were no individual customers with balances in excess of 10% of the accounts receivable balances at April 30, 2009 or July 31, 2008, and no individual customer generated in excess of 10% of net sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and the year ended July 31, 2008.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. An additional allowance is recorded based on certain percentages of aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and assessment of the general financial conditions affecting the Company's customer base. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written-off against the allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $10,000 at April 30, 2009 and July 31, 2008.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation based on estimated useful lives utilizing the straight-line method. In accordance with SFAS No. 51,Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies ("SFAS No. 51"), the Company capitalizes costs associated with the construction of new transmission facilities. Capitalized construction costs include materials, labor, applicable indirect costs and interest. The Company's methodology for capitalization of internal construction labor and internal and contracted third party installation costs (including materials) utilizes standard costing models based on actual costs. Materials and external labor costs associated with construction activities are capitalized based on amounts invoiced to the Company by third parties.
Computers and wireless equipment also consists of spare electronic equipment and supplies such as radios, antennas, cable, and wire and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. The value of such equipment was $163,743 at April 30, 2009. The spare electronic equipment is maintained to provide replacement parts when and if needed in a short time period to provide minimal service disruption to customers in the event of a parts failure.
Improvements that extend asset lives are capitalized and other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Estimated useful lives for property and equipment are as follows:
Description | Life |
| |
Computer and wireless equipment | 3 years |
Tower and infrastructure | 5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
Auto and trucks | 5 years |
Software | 3 years |
The Company periodically evaluates the useful lives of its property and equipment. The Company's property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. No impairment was recorded at April 30, 2009 or July 31, 2008.
Customer relationships
Customer relationships represent the value attributed to customer relationships acquired in business combinations and are amortized over a 7-year period.
Long-lived Assets
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"), the Company evaluates property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever current events and circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment requires a high degree of judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. If the carrying amount is greater than the expected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the excess, if any, of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset. The Company generally measures fair value based upon the present value of estimated future net cash flows of an asset group over its remaining useful life.
Derivative Instruments
In accordance with SFAS No. 133,"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as amended, and EITF Issue No. 00-19,"Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF 00-19") the Company records derivatives at their fair values on the date that they meet the requirements of a derivative instrument and at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash and accounts payable, were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation", using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents services billed or collected in advance but unearned.
Revenue Recognition
The Company charges a recurring subscription fee for providing wireless broadband services to its subscribers. Revenue from service is recognized as monthly services are rendered in accordance with individual customer arrangements. Credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers whose accounts are delinquent for a specified number of days. Consistent with SFAS No. 51, installation revenue obtained from the connection of subscribers to the system is recognized in the period installation services are provided to the extent of related direct selling costs. Any remaining amount is deferred and recognized over the estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the system. From time to time, the Company enters into barter arrangements whereby it provides certain customers with wireless broadband services in exchange for use of towers and equipment owned by customers. Revenue and expenses recorded under barter arrangements approximated $44,297 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009.
Advertising Costs
The Company incurs advertising costs in the normal course of business, which are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $3,459 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),Share Based Payment. The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value. On January 2, 2009 the Company issued 1,655,009 Omnicity, Incorporated common shares valued at $289,629 to certain employees as a performance bonus. During the year ended July 31, 2008, the Company issued 85,650 Omnicity, Incorporated common shares valued at $29,978 to certain employees as a performance bonus. There is no stock option plan adopted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60". SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period begin ning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations". This statement replaces SFAS No. 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities -an Amendment of ARB No. 51". This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Our Prior Business
Up to July 29, 2008, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On November 22, 2006, we acquired a 100% interest in the Redoubt 1 and Redoubt 2 mineral claims (the "Property" or "Claims") covering approximately 1,000 hectares located in the Stewart Mining Division in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, from Silver Grail Resources Ltd. and Teuton Resources Corp. in consideration for CDN$10,000. The claims were registered in the name of the Company on August 16, 2007. On October 15, 2007, the Company advanced CDN$15,000 to its geologist to conduct an exploratory work program on the claims, which was conducted in November, 2007. The Company received a geologist report on February 6, 2008, the results of which were not as expected, and the Company re-evaluated proceeding with a Phase 2 work program, which would cost CDN$15,000. Given the prospects, management determined to allow the claims to lapse on July 29, 2008.
Please see our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2008 for more information relating to our business prior to the acquisition of Omnicity Indiana.
The Omnicity Indiana Acquisition
On February 16, 2009, we closed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of Omnicity Indiana, effected by way of merger pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"), dated December 29, 2008, among Omnicity Corp., Omnicity Indiana, and MergerSub, our wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana in connection with the Acquisition ("MergerSub").
Omnicity Indiana was a private company incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana pursuant to the Indiana Business Corporation Law on August 14, 2003 under the name "Omnicity, Incorporated". In August 2003, Omnicity Indiana began acquiring the rights to and constructing wireless internet service sites in Indiana. In September 2003, Omnicity Indiana acquired the assets of the Circle City Wireless Division of Hi-Tech Business Machines, LLC in exchange for common stock of Omnicity Indiana.
The merger was effective on February 17, 2009 and time at which the merger became effective is referred to herein as the "Effective Time". At the Effective Time, MergerSub merged with and into Omnicity Indiana, pursuant to which the identity and separate corporate existence of MergerSub ceased and Omnicity Indiana became the surviving corporation in the merger (the "Surviving Corporation") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Omnicity Indiana convened a special meeting of its shareholders on January 17, 2009 to obtain approval of the adoption of the Agreement, the Acquisition and all other transactions contemplated thereby (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, Omnicity Indiana obtained the required approvals of the holders of a majority of its common shares.
Under the terms of the Agreement, at closing, (i) all of the issued and outstanding Omnicity Indiana shares, totalling 8,256,240, were converted and exchanged for 23,000,000 shares of the Company, or 2.7858 common shares of the Company for each Omnicity Indiana share held; each common share issued had a deemed fair value of $0.35 per share, in accordance with the procedures set out in the Agreement, (ii) each share of Omnicity Indiana issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by Omnicity Corp. or MergerSub was cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment was made with respect thereto, and (iii) all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of MergerSub held by Omnicity Corp. immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted into and became one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of Omnicity Indiana.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement on and after the Effective Time, (i) until surrendered for exchange, each outstanding share certificate representing shares of Omnicity Indiana's common stock (except for shares cancelled pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement) are deemed to evidence ownership of and represent the number of shares of the Company into which such Omnicity Indiana common shares shall convert pursuant to the Agreement, and (ii) each holder of such outstanding certificates representing shares of Omnicity Indiana's common stock are entitled to vote on any matters on which the holders of record of the Company's common shares having voting rights are entitled to vote.
At closing, (i) all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Omnicity Indiana and MergerSub vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Omnicity Indiana and MergerSub became the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, (ii) the articles of incorporation of MergerSub became the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, (iii) the bylaws of MergerSub became the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and (v) the name of the Surviving Corporation became "Omnicity, Incorporated".
The closing of the Acquisition represented a change in control of our Company. For accounting purposes, this change in control constitutes a re-capitalization of the Company, and the acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger whereby we, as the legal acquirer, are treated as the acquired entity, and Omnicity Indiana, as the legal subsidiary, is treated as the acquiring company with the continuing operations.
Our Current Business
Overview
As a consequence of our Company's acquisition of Omnicity Indiana, our business is now focused on the development and operation of wireless broadband systems to residential and commercial customers in small and rural markets in the Midwestern United States. Our target market is rural and small market homes in the United States that are unserved or underserved by large broadband providers. These homes are served, on a fragmented basis, by small local underfunded and undermanned Wireless Internet Service Providers ("WISPs").
WISP Industry Overview
In the United States today, there are several thousand WISPs operating in the licensed and unlicensed spectrum. These operators are predominately using unlicensed 900MHz and 2.4GHz for the transmission of their services. WISPs predominantly serve rural and small market environments where cable and digital subscriber lines are not available, or provide dial-up speeds only. Worldwide interoperability for microwave access or WiMax, which is a telecommunications technology that provides for the wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, is expected to become mainstream in the near future, and is expected to bring with it changes to the marketplace by increasing the amount of interoperable equipment on the market and making mobile data transmission feasible on a highly commercialized scale, thus increasing the utility of such networks in rural environments.
Most WISPs in the United States are small companies with less than 2000 residential customers. We estimate that less than 3% of WISPs have more than 2000 customers. Of those WISPs under 2000 subscribers, most are residentially focused and have located their transmission facilities on a variety of vertical assets, including tall buildings, schools, grain elevators, or towers. We believe that many of the smaller WISPs are candidates for acquisition due to the resources needed to develop their businesses.
Wireless broadband service products are transmitted through the air via microwave frequencies to a small receiving antenna at each subscriber's location, which generally requires a direct "line of sight" from the transmission facility to the subscriber's receiving antenna. Traditional hard wire systems also transmit signals from a transmission facility, but deliver the signal to a subscriber's location through an extensive network of coaxial cable, fiber, and amplifiers. Since wireless systems do not require such an extensive network, wireless operators such as our Company can provide subscribers with a high quality and reliable service resulting in fewer transmission disruptions at a significantly lower system capital cost per installed subscriber than hard wire systems. In addition, operating costs of wireless systems are generally lower than those of comparable traditional hard-wire systems due to lower network maintenance and depreciation expense. Because of lower capital costs and operating costs per subscriber, wireless operators are generally able to charge less than traditional hard-wire operators for comparable products and services.
Description of Business
We develop, own and operate wireless broadband systems providing services to residential and commercial customers in small and rural markets in the Midwestern United States. Our focus is on a base of broadband subscribers in the unserved and underserved rural and small market segment of the U.S.
We partner with Rural Electric Membership Cooperatives ("REMCs"), municipalities, and other governmental entities to provide broadband services to REMC member users and to provide services for municipalities and governmental agencies such as meter reading, mobile broadband for emergency vehicles, police and fire, and their local area networks. We have also formed an exclusive partnership with Service Concepts, a rural electric cooperative service organization that is owned by 29 Indiana REMCs and that serves more than 300 of the 800 REMCs throughout the United States. Service Concepts is the main marketing arm for those REMCs and serves more than 603,000 households and businesses in Indiana. Much of our recent business has been through marketing and local funding partnerships with REMCs. REMC member electric cooperatives are located in 80% of the nation's counties and are the largest electric utility network in the United States, having over 40 million member-owners.
Our customer base is made of many individual and business subscribers in various regions throughout Indiana. We are not dependent on any one customer.
Acquisitions Completed during the quarter ended April 30, 2009
During the quarter ended April 30, 2009 Omnicity Indiana completed four asset purchase agreements with four wireless operators: NDWave, Inc; Cue Connex, Forepoint Networks Inc; and North Central Communications, Inc. in consideration for cash, short-term notes, and common shares of Omnicity Corp.. Omnicity Indiana

Customer relationships, net | 1,911,091 |
These four asset acquisition agreements are profiled below:
These acquisitions combined to add coverage of approximately 79,000 additional homes seen from towers and available for service, approximately 35,000 of which are not served or underserved by other high-speed internet and broadband providers (dial-up or slower speeds or no internet). These systems added approximately 3,200 subscribers to our subscriber base which, with organic growth, now totals in excess of 6,000 subscribers.
NDWave, Inc. ("NDWave") is located in north central Indiana and currently serves approximately 1,480 customers. This acquisition would give us the ability to add redundancy to our existing systems through NDWave's fiber and wireless connections. The two networks complement each other with very little overlap between tower sites. The equipment being used in the NDWave network is cost effective and efficient.
ForePoint Networks ("ForePoint") is located in Lafayette, Indiana and complements the northern portion of the Tipmont REMC area. ForePoint has a base of approximately 890 customers and its network has fiber connectivity into its data center and uses the same tower and CPE equipment as NDWave. Their staff includes three installers and one sales support team member and contracts out their network engineer. Being located in the heart of Purdue University provides for qualified tech support staff and call center staff. There is very little overlap between ForePoint's network and the existing system coverage.
North Central Communications Inc. ("NCC") would complement our Wabash REMC partner and give us a local sales, support and installation team. NCC coverage is immediately to the west and south of the Wabash REMC coverage area and to the north of the NDWave coverage area. They cover parts of six counties with approximately 620 customers on their network. The NCC staff includes a high level network/applications programmer, two outside tech support, billing support and an office manager.
Asset Purchase Agreement Pending:
Mooreland Wireless ("Mooreland") is located in the east central portion of Indiana. Its current coverage area includes Hagerstown, Muncie, Jay County and Rush county, Indiana. Mooreland's founder would continue on with us and provide regional field service support. Mooreland would bring several key tower locations and 160 existing residential and business customers.
Systems Operations
We use standards-based wireless equipment for license-exempt spectrum. We are evolving our technology and spectrum strategy as it becomes more opportune and cost effective to utilize licensed spectrum and related equipment. We have migrated to the next generation of 900MHz and 2.4GHz equipment and are realizing construction and installation cost reductions and performance enhancements. We deploy our distribution networks by installing this latest generation equipment collocated on cellular and other commercial towers, municipally or privately owned structures, and tall silos or rooftops. To that end, the Federal Communications Commission recently granted NDWave a 3.65MHz national license. Omnicity Indiana had applied for this license, however, with the pending acquisition of NDWave, this license will not be pursued. Backhaul is provided via point-to-point and/or fiber connection through favorable agreements with such entities as Time Warner Telecom and WVFiber. The broad avai lability of the network and customer premise equipment, coupled with our standardized process for building a market, allows us to launch services in a market typically within 3 months of beginning the network planning and construction.
We have a portfolio of transmission rights in six small to mid-size WISP markets located to date principally in the State of Indiana. These markets represent approximately 225,000 households, approximately 95,000 of which we believe can be served by line-of-sight transmissions and of which approximately 35,000 are unpassed or underserved by traditional wired broadband service providers.
Our business is scalable and uses industry standard equipment. We believe this allows for efficient use of capital and low overhead. The use of centralized billing and subscriber management and service systems further improves the operating efficiencies of the consolidated businesses.
Cost Factors
Traditional hard-wire systems typically cost significantly more to build than wireless systems. Hardwire systems must install a network of cable and amplifiers in order to deliver signals to their subscribers. This considerable cost is not incurred by wireless operators and is only partially offset by the cost a wireless operator incurs to purchase and install the wireless radios and related equipment necessary for each subscriber's location. These lower system development costs typically result in lower debt burdens per subscriber for wireless operators as compared to comparably sized traditional hard wire systems.
The system operating costs for wireless systems also are generally lower than those for comparable hard-wire systems. This is attributable to lower system network maintenance and depreciation expense.
We anticipate that each additional wireless subscriber will require an incremental capital expenditure by us. This amount consists of material and installation labor and overhead charges. These per subscriber capital costs will not be incurred until a subscriber has been added and is about to generate revenue for us and will be offset in part by installation fees paid by the subscriber at the time of installation.
Business Strategy
Our primary business strategy is to develop or acquire, own and operate wireless internet systems in markets in which we believe we can achieve positive cash flow and operating income in a particular market after system launch and then to expand such systems with the objective of maintaining profitability. We execute our strategy by acquiring or building operations in small to mid-size markets with a significant number of households not effectively served by traditional hard-wire broadband service. These markets typically have terrain and other conditions conducive to wireless transmissions. We believe that traditional hard-wire operators in these markets are less likely to compete cost effectively for our target subscriber base. In the 20 largest hard-wire markets in the Unites States, only approximately 2% of all households in those markets are unpassed by hard wire providers. However, in markets in which we currently have transmission rights, we estimate that approximately 85% of all line-of-sight households are unpassed by hard wire providers or, if they are passed, not provided with high speed internet or VOIP service. Our strategy allows it to contain system launch costs because we can launch our service rapidly and using low power transmission equipment. Once a system achieves profitability, we expand the system, increase transmission power and frequency and continue to add subscribers by offering additional levels of service.
Employees
As of April 30, 2009, we had a total of 36 full time employees. None of our employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We have experienced no work stoppages and believe that we have good relations with our employees. We also utilize the services of independent contractors to build and install our wireless systems and market our services.
Subsidiaries
We own 100% of Omnicity, Incorporated, a company organized under the laws of the State of Indiana.
Plan of Operations
Our business plan is to be a rural wireless internet service provider in the United States through a consolidation strategy and organic growth of all acquired business units and to partner with REMCs and local governments for nationwide marketing. We also plan to partner with regional and national telecommunication companies for the delivery of voice services and complete negotiations and logistics of DirecTV resell agreements. We further plan to partner with local governments to provide essential services, including mobile internet for emergency mobile communications, fire and police and to establish new utility applications such as automated meter reading.
We plan to bring WISP based services to rural America through three distinct market channels: (1) REMC partnerships, (2) strategic acquisitions, (3) local government and private enterprise partnerships.
Utilizing our relationship with the REMCs and "value added" institutional services and facilities we provide for municipalities and local governments, we plan to organize and consolidate within the rural broadband market initially in Indiana and then in the Midwestern United States and ultimately nationwide. Collaborations with both the REMCs and municipalities may act as effective barriers for competition and provide additional sources of revenue and customer service for both the REMCs and municipalities as well as income and cash flow for our company. The bundling of broadband services, including internet, voice, and video, in partnership with rural electric and/or municipal services provides an opportunity to imbed, cross promote, and extend services in collaboration with these institutional providers.
Our plan of operations for the next fifteen months through our fiscal year ending July 31, 2010 is to:
- complete and fold in asset purchases with WISP operators and expand our network into all of Midwest USA;
- develop and expand, through organic growth, the subscriber base through our sales and marketing program;
- reach operationally cash flow positive and build a liquidity floor under operations of $100,000 minimum by our fiscal year end of July 31, 2009;
- complete debt and equity offerings of $5m by September 30, 2009;
- build a current ratio of 2:1 within 6 months;
- continue to partner with Rural Electric Membership Cooperatives "REMCs", local and State governments, Rural Telcos and Original Equipment Manufacturers "OEMs" to efficiently and cost effectively expand our network across rural America;
- develop and expand our service offerings to become a total broadband solution including VOIP and IPTV; and
- complete a further equity offering, in stages, of $10m by July 31, 2010;
The Company expects it will have to raise further capital subsequently to continue to pursue its plan of operations. The Company will continue to seek traditional cash flow financing and additional asset backed financing. In order to accelerate its growth rate and to finance general corporate activities and the launch or build-out of additional systems, the Company may supplement its existing sources of funds with financing arrangements at the operating system level or through additional borrowings, the sale of additional debt or equity securities, joint ventures or other arrangements. As a further capital resource, the Company may sell or lease certain wireless rights or assets from its portfolio as appropriate opportunities become available. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing, on acceptable terms or at all.
We estimate that approximately $1,000,000 will be required to July 31, 2009, and approximately $6,000,000 in fiscal 2010 to finance the expansion of, and the addition of subscribers to our existing and to be acquired systems and to finance the acquisition of additional transmission rights, the purchase and installation of transmission equipment, the cost of installation equipment and labor, overhead costs (including the addition of office and warehouse space and personnel) and marketing expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the launch of additional wireless subscribers in 2009 and 2010 from the existing system, and the planned acquisition markets.
Current Financing Arrangements
- Subordinated Debenture - to raise up to $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 for Indiana residents) by issuing 8% 5 year Subordinated Debenture with interest paid quarterly;
- Equity Private Placement - to raise up to $2,000,000 at $0.60 per share pursuant to a private placement being sold to accredited investors;
- Equipment Leasing Arrangement - Master Lease Agreement with Agility Leasing for a $1,000,000 equipment leasing facility. This facility will be used to help finance customer premise equipment needs for 2009 and 2010. The Company has used $727,368 of this leasing facility. The Company is in discussions to increase this Master Lease Agreement;
- Private Investment Public Entity ("PIPE") - we have signed an engagement letter with Bowen Advisors, Inc. out of Boston to assist us in raising up to $10,000,000 in stages over the next fifteen months with the first stage being $2,500,000.

Revenues
The Company's first set of systems was launched in March of 2004 and the Company had no revenues prior to 2004. The Company's total revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 were $1,078,000 compared to $728,000 in prior period of 2008. This increase reflected an increase in recurring service revenue and an increase in consulting and management fees. The numbers of subscribers increased from 2,000 to just under 6,000 by virtue of acquisitions at the very end of the nine month period ended April 30, 2009. For the first seven months of each, subscriber counts were approximately the same for both periods. Although the Company receives web hosting fees, modem sales and late fees, this is less than 4% of total revenue. The primary revenue is from the provision of internet service, which increased by 27.2% over the same period from $668,000 to $854,000. The Company also earned $190,000 in management and consulting fees during the nine month period ended April 30, 2009 with no c omparative category in the prior period of 2008.
Operational Expenses
System Operations include service costs and costs of services provided and operating expenses. Costs of services provided include the purchase of transmission and signal delivery equipment and the costs of customer premise installations and tower and facilities installations. Operating expenses include all plant and signal delivery costs, and all selling, marketing, general and administrative costs.
Costs of services provided increased from $470,000 the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $675,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2009, reflecting an increase in communications costs of $33,000 and an increase in tower rental and equipment leases of $83,000.
Operating expenses rose from $1,081,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $1,959,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2009. This overall increase in operating expense was driven primarily by increases in payroll expenditures ($247,000 in the 2008 period versus $710,000 in the 2009 period) and expenditures for professional fees ($22,000 in the 2008 period versus $137,000 in the 2009 period) both increases were related directly to preparation for the public transaction and the growth plan for 2009. All other operating expenses were comparative.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased from $261,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $341,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2009 as a function of adding transmission and signal delivery equipment on new towers leased and other operating capital assets purchased during the nine months ended April 30, 2009.
Other Income and Expense
Other income and expenses is made up of interest expenses which decreased from $168,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $130,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2009. This decrease is a result of interest bearing short-term notes retired during the nine months ended April 30, 2009.
Net Loss
The net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 increased by $954,000 to $1,635,000 compared to $681,000 in the prior period of 2008. This increase in loss was due to increases in infrastructure items associated with the APO transaction and infrastructure put in place for the planned future growth totalling a $792,000 increase. Also, depreciation increased by $80,000 systems operations costs increased by $571,000.

Liquidity Overview
We completed our going public transaction on February 17, 2009. Since then, the Company's acquisition and transition teams have acquired and folded in four WISP's tripling the Company's subscriber base from 2,000, with a $130,000 operational negative cash flow, to over 6,000 and a $24,000 operational negative cash flow.
At April 30, 2009 we had cash of $70,000 with $103,500 of subscriptions deposited in May, 2009. Our payroll is currently $145,000 per month and we now have 36 employees including contractors. We manage our cash in a very strict manner with a daily, weekly and multi-weekly cash forecast prepared by our controller and circulated to the four senior officers for their review, discussion and direction. Our creditors have been paid down, paid off, converted into equity or converted into long-term debt.
Cash to Operating Activities
During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, operating activities used cash of $774,000. Our loss for nine months was $1,874,000 which included non-cash items: A non-cash financing expense of $147,000, depreciation and amortization of $341,000, stock based compensation of $290,000 and expenses paid by issuing equity and notes totaling $38,000 reduced this loss, on a cash basis to $1,059,000. Our accounts receivable have increased by $42,000 due to tripling our customer base and that represents negative cash flow. Our expenses were financed by our vendors as to $345,000.
Cash to Investing Activities
The WISP business is a capital intensive business. Since inception, the Company has expended funds to lease or otherwise acquire transmission site rights in various locations and markets, to construct the existing systems and to finance initial operating losses. The Company intends to expand the existing systems and launch additional wireless systems and will require additional funds. The Company estimates that a launch by it of a wireless internet provider system in a typical new tower location will involve the expenditures for wireless internet system transmission equipment and incremental installation costs per subscriber for customer premise equipment. Other launch costs include the cost of securing adequate space for marketing and warehouse facilities, as well as costs related to employees. As a result of these costs, operating losses are likely to be incurred by a system during the start-up period.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, investing activities used net cash of $149,000, primarily related to our four acquisitions. We acquired $950,000 of wireless equipment and tower structures during the nine months ended April 30, 2009. We sold, and leased back, wireless equipment totalling $490,000 to Agility Ventures in two sale leaseback transactions. We also financed $265,000 of equipment purchases through vendor notes for a net cash investment of $195,000. We paid operating lease deposits to Agility Leasing of $61,000 and used deposits of $115,000 paid in fiscal 2008 to complete the four asset purchase agreements. We acquired customer relationships (subscribers) at a cost of $1,940,000. These customers were acquired without a cash outlay. To acquire these customer relationships we issued $500,000 in common stock, $558,000 in common stock to be issued, $61,000 assumption of debt and $821,000 in vendor notes. From a non-financial viewpoint the Company has also invested in systems upgrades, hiring and training of a 36 member workforce, and developing a strategic and operating plan for the next five years. We have invested in going public and in developing our acquisition and transition teams which are not operational functions.
Cash from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, financing activities provided cash of $993,000 not including cash of $490,000 received from Agility Ventures in the above mentioned sale leaseback transactions. A total of $571,000 was received from common stock subscriptions, $5,000 from common stock issued, $370,000 from short-term loans and $145,000 from long-term debt. We repaid $33,000 of short-term loans and $19,000 of long-term debt and $32,000 of capital lease obligations. Subsequent to April 30, 2009 we received an additional $103,500 of subscriptions.
Non-cash Financing Activities
Non-cash financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 included the following:
| $ |

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this current report, Omnicity Indiana does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes of financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Co mpany's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit. There were no individual customers with balances in excess of 10% of the accounts receivable balances at April 30, 2009 or July 31, 2008, and no individual customer generated in excess of 10% of net sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and the year ended July 31, 2008.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation based on estimated useful lives utilizing the straight-line method. In accordance with SFAS No. 51,Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies ("SFAS No. 51"), the Company capitalizes costs associated with the construction of new transmission facilities. Capitalized construction costs include materials, labor, applicable indirect costs and interest. The Company's methodology for capitalization of internal construction labor and internal and contracted third party installation costs (including materials) utilizes standard costing models based on actual costs. Materials and external labor costs associated with construction activities are capitalized based on amounts invoiced to the Company by third parties.
Computers and wireless equipment also consists of spare electronic equipment and supplies such as radios, antennas, cable, and wire and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. The spare electronic equipment is maintained to provide replacement parts when and if needed in a short time period to provide minimal service disruption to customers in the event of a parts failure.
Improvements that extend asset lives are capitalized and other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Estimated useful lives for property and equipment are as follows:
Description | Life |
| |
Computer and wireless equipment | 3 years |
Tower and infrastructure | 5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
Auto and trucks | 5 years |
Software | 3 years |
The Company periodically evaluates the useful lives of its property and equipment. The Company's property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. No impairment was recorded at April 30, 2009 or July 31, 2008.
Customer relationships
Customer relationships represent the value attributed to customer relationships acquired in business combinations and are amortized over a 7-year period.
Long-lived Assets
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"), the Company evaluates property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever current events and circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment requires a high degree of judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. If the carrying amount is greater than the expected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the excess, if any, of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset. The Company generally measures fair value based upon the present value of estimated future net cash flows of an asset group over its remaining useful life.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash and accounts payable, were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation", using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents services billed or collected in advance but unearned.
Revenue Recognition
The Company charges a recurring subscription fee for providing wireless broadband services to its subscribers. Revenue from service is recognized as monthly services are rendered in accordance with individual customer arrangements. Credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers whose accounts are delinquent for a specified number of days. Consistent with SFAS No. 51, installation revenue obtained from the connection of subscribers to the system is recognized in the period installation services are provided to the extent of related direct selling costs. Any remaining amount is deferred and recognized over the estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the system. From time to time, the Company enters into barter arrangements whereby it provides certain customers with wireless broadband services in exchange for use of towers and equipment owned by customers.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),Share Based Payment. The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value. On January 2, 2009 the Company issued 1,655,009 Omnicity, Incorporated common shares valued at $289,629 to certain employees as a performance bonus. During the year ended July 31, 2008, the Company issued 85,650 Omnicity, Incorporated common shares valued at $29,978 to certain employees as a performance bonus. There is no stock option plan adopted.
Recently Issued Accounting Policies
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60". SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities. SFAS No. 163 requires that disclosures about the risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first perio d beginning after issuance. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is curren tly evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations". This statement replaces SFAS No. 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material eff ect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities -an Amendment of ARB No. 51". This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
