Omnicity Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
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 was registered as an extra-provincial company under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on November 6, 2006. On October 21, 2008 the Company changed its name to Omnicity Corp.
On February 17, 2009, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Omnicity, Incorporated. Omnicity, Incorporated (incorporated on August 13, 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. The total purchase price was 23,000,000 common shares of the Company.
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 substantial 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 ability of the Company to obtain necessary debt and/or equity financing to fund its growth strategy, pay debt when due, to continue operations, and to attain profitability.As at April 30, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,717,698 and a stockholders' deficit of $677,494. All of these factors combined raises 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 ass et amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Although the Company is operationally cash flow positive as at April 30, 2010, the Company must continue to address its liquidity and working capital issues. The Company continues to raise additional capital through the issuance of short-term and long-term debt and equity to private investors to maintain its aggressive acquisition strategy, increase its organic growth and to repay principal and interest when due. Management believes this additional capital and the expanded customer base through acquisitions and organic growth will provide the Company the opportunity to increase its operational cash flow and ultimately to be profitable over the next twelve months.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Unaudited Financial Statements
These interim unaudited consolidated 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 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, 2009 and 2008 included in the Company's Form 10K filed on October 23, 2009 with the SEC. The consolidated 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, 2010, and the results of its operations for the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its cas h flows for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
Fair Value
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of notes payable, convertible debentures and a derivative warrant liability. Notes payable and convertible debentures are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value. The Company determines the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative warrant liability based upon the trading prices of its common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of its derivative warrant liability.
The Company believes all of the financial instruments' recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.
-5-
The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820,"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), previously referred to as SFAS No. 157. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. ASC 820-10-35,"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Subsequent Measurement" ("ASC 820-10-35"), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10-35 also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model. & nbsp;The Company also follows ASC 825"Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", previously referred to as FAS 107-1 to expand required disclosures.
ASC 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10-35 are described below:
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") officially launched the FASB ASC 105 --Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("the Codification"), as the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental, U.S. GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Codification is designed to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company refers to the Codification in respect of the appropriate accounting standards throughout this document as "FASB ASC". Implementation of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The following FASB pronouncements have been adopted by the Company during the nine months ended April 30, 2010:
In April 2009, FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 805, "Business Combinations", that clarifies and amends FASB ASC 805, as it applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This update addresses initial recognition and measurement issues, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures regarding these assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The Company adopted this Statement on August 1, 2009. Implementation of this update to FASB ASC 805 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly", to address challenges in estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. This pronouncement emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this Statement on Augus t 1, 2009. Implementation of this Standard did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140". SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" by eliminating the concept of special-purpose entities, requiring the reporting entity to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets, changes the requirements for the de-recognition of financial assets, and provides for the sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures. The Company adopted this Statement on August 1, 2009. Implementation of this Standard did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
-6-
In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)". SFAS No. 167 addresses the effect on FASB Interpretation 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept of SFAS No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets". SFAS No. 167 also amends the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB Interpretation 46(R) to enhance the timeliness and usefulness of information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. The Company adopted this Statement on August 1, 2009. Implementation of this Standard did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
On June 30, 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-01 (Topic 105) - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 "The FASB Accounting and Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". Beginning with this Statement FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standard Updates. This ASU includes FASB Statement No. 168 in its entirety. While ASU's will not be considered authoritative in their own right, they will serve to update the Codification, provide the bases for conclusions and changes in the Codification, and provide background information about the guidance. The Codification modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. ASU No. 2009-01 became effective for the Company's quarter ende d October 31, 2009. Implementation of this Standard did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU clarifies the fair market value measurement of liabilities. In circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: a technique that uses quoted price of the identical or a similar liability or liabilities when traded as an asset or assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 such as an income or market approach. ASU No. 2009-05 was effective upon issuance and it did not result in any significant financial impact on the Company upon adoption.
In September 2009, FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its equivalent). This ASU permits use of a practical expedient, with appropriate disclosures, when measuring the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. ASU No. 2009-12 became effective for the Company's quarter ended January 31, 2010. Since the Company does not currently have any such investments, the adoption of the ASU did not have any significant financial impact on the Company's financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 - Receivable - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ("Subtopic 310-30"). Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit deterioration. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40, Receivables--Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The amendments in this Update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating t he impact of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.

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, Telcos 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.
-15-
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 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 twelve months is to:

Future Financing Requirements
At April 30, 2010, we had cash of $53,000 and a working capital deficit of $2,718,000. We estimate that approximately $2 million will be required during quarter four ended July 31, 2010 to finance our short-term working capital deficit and to finance the expansion of, and the addition of subscribers through acquisition to, our existing and to be acquired network infrastructures. Approximately $3.87 million has been raised during the nine months ended April 30, 2010. A portion will be used to finance our negative working capital. Upon closing our second large acquisition in Ohio we are operationally cash flow positive and will require no additional funds to finance these operational deficits. A portion of these funds will also be used to finance the acquisition of additional transmission rights, the purchase and installation of transmission and tower equipment and the cost of customer premises equipment. A portion of these funds will be used to make principal and interest payments of o ur long-term and short-term debts as required.
We will continue to seek a combination of equity and long-term debt financing as well as other traditional cash flow and asset backed financing to meet our financing needs and to reduce our overall cost of capital. Additionally, in order to accelerate our growth rate and to finance general corporate activities, we may supplement our existing sources of funds with financing arrangements at the operating system level or through additional borrowings, joint ventures or other off balance sheet arrangements. As a further capital resource, we may sell or lease certain wireless rights or assets from our 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.

Revenues
The Company's revenues for 2010 increased by $412,000 to $837,000 (2009 - $425,000) an increase of 97%. This significant increase reflects an increase in installation revenues for 2010 which increased by $51,000 to $73,000 (2009 - $22,000) and an increase in recurring service revenues for 2010 which increased by $373,000 to $746,000 (2009 - $374,000) an increase of 100%. These significant increases were achieved partially through organic growth, which is increasing at a rapid rate, and mainly through our customers' relationships acquired in asset acquisitions closed between May 1, 2009 and April 30, 2010. The number of subscribers increased from 6,100 to 11,500 during the three months ended April 30, 2010. This subscriber count does not differentiate a subscriber, for example, one school, hospital or business subscriber is counted as one subscriber. On an equivalent subscriber unit basis we increased our equivalent subscribers from 6,605 at January 31, 2010 to 12,350 at April 30, 2 010. This is important to note because going forward the Company will be adding schools, hospitals and business accounts at an accelerated rate. During the three months ended April 30, 2009 the Company had 1,800 subscribers. The Company receives revenue mainly from monthly service and modem rental fees collected from its subscribers. The Company's installation revenue, while representing 9% of revenues currently, is expected to increase rapidly as our marketing teams expand. The Company also receives web hosting fees, fiber construction projects fees and late fees which together represent less than 2% of total revenue. The Company expects revenues to increase rapidly as a result of organic growth, planned acquisitions and increase in average revenue per unit ("ARPU").
Operational Expenses
Operational expenses include service costs, plant and signal delivery, marketing and sales, general and administration and salaries and benefits.
Service costs include the cost of billing and collection. During 2010, service costs increased by $8,000 to $16,000 (2009 - $8,000). This increase was due mainly to the increase in the number of customers accounts offset by a decrease in the cost of collection. Service costs have not, and are not expected to increase significantly during the remainder of 2010.
-17-
Plant and signal delivery expenses include the rental of tower infrastructures, the purchase of internet transmission (backhaul) the cost of installations at customers' premises and the customer premises equipment operating lease costs. During 2010, plant and signal delivery expenses increased by $138,000 to $364,000 (2009 - $226,000), an increase of 61%. The increase in revenues was 97% during this period and as subscribers are added to the network the incremental cost of that subscriber is lower. This increase was due mainly to the increase in the number of towers under rental arrangements, the amount of backhaul needed to service the increase in subscribers, the increase in customer premises equipment being leased pursuant to operating lease arrangements and the increase in customer installations. Plant and signal delivery costs per customer will significantly decrease once the Company populates its towers with customers. The Company, on average, has a penetration rate of approximately 4% of homes passed whereas the minimum target penetration is greater than 20% which is the penetration rate in the Wabash REMC coverage area.
In December, 2009, we upgraded our marketing and sales models which increased new installations from 155 during January, 2010 to 220 during February, 2010 to 235 during March, 2010 and 220 during April 2010. Our current growth, on a month over month basis, is 2% which is expected to increase each month.
Marketing and sales expenses include REMC fees, advertising and preparation of marketing materials. During 2010, marketing and sales expenses were $4,000 (2009- $21,000). Marketing and sales expenses are expected to significantly increase during 2010 as the Company increases its marketing plan to significantly increase organic growth. The Company now has five full-time salespeople, which costs are included in salaries and benefits.
General and administration expenses include professional fees (legal, audit, accounting and outside professional consulting), investor relations consulting fees, office expenses (including rent, telephone and insurance), software fees and fees associated with late payments and bank charges. During 2010, general and administration expenses decreased by $106,000 to $120,000 (2009 - $226,000). This decrease is mainly due to high costs associated with becoming a public company during the three months ended April 30, 2009. General and administration expenses have been reduced to a minimum and are not expected to increase significantly in 2010 in relation to increased revenue.
Salaries and benefits for 2010 have increased by $280,000 to $626,000 (2009 - $346,000). This increase is mainly due to the additional costs associated with hiring of senior and middle management to oversee the acquisition, marketing, financial reporting and operations teams. The Company went from 26 employees during the three months ended April 30, 2009 to 68 employees during the three months ended April 30, 2010. The Company does not expect to increase its number of employees significantly during 2010, except for certain key people to be brought on as a result of acquisitions and increasing the number of marketing teams we have in current and new regions brought on through acquisitions. Installations are now contracted out to an independent contractor and the Company's current number of employees is expected to be able to maintain a customer base at least double its current size. The Company continues to upgrade its employees as better trained personnel become available through acquisiti ons.
Depreciation and amortization for 2010 increased by $101,000 to $233,000 (2009 - $132,000). This increase was attributed to amortization of customers' relationships of $79,000 (2009 - $29). This increase was also due to more property, plant and equipment acquired over the past twelve months.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense for 2010 increased by $63,000 to $127,000 (2009 - $64,000). The increase was a result of significant increases in short-term and long-term debt levels offset by an overall reduction in the cost of debt to 6.8% achieved through negotiations with all creditors. Interest expense will increase over each of the next few quarters as the Company plans to issue short-term and long-term debt securities.
The Company incurs financing expenses relating to hiring financial experts to assist the Company in raising capital and applying for stimulus funding. Financing expense for 2010 increased by $131,000 to $131,000 (2009 - $nil).
During 2010 the Company sold tower equipment to a related party for proceeds of $225,000 which resulted in a gain of $41,000.
-18-
Net Loss
The net loss for 2010 increased by $144,000 to $743,000 (2009 - $599,000). This increase in loss was due to financing charges of $131,000 and an increase in depreciation and amortization and increases in the number of employees.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) included under Item 1 in this Form 10-Q.
Revenues
The Company's revenues for 2010 increased by $1,481,433 to $2,090,433 (2009 - $609,000) an increase of 343%. This significant increase reflects an increase in installation revenues for 2010 which increased by $153,003 to $173,003 (2009 - $20,000) and an increase in recurring service revenues for 2010 which increased by $1,339,686 to $1,928,686 (2009 - $589,000) an increase of 327%. These significant increases were achieved partially through organic growth, which is increasing at a rapid rate, and mainly through our seven additional acquisitions folded in from August 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010. The number of subscribers increased from 5,200 to 11,500 during the nine months ended April 30, 2010. This subscriber count does not differentiate a subscriber, for example, one school, hospital or business subscriber is counted as one subscriber. On an equivalent subscriber unit basis we increased our equivalent subscribers from 5,586 at July 31, 2009 to 12,350 as at April 30, 2010. This is important to note because going forward the Company will be adding schools, hospitals and business accounts at an accelerated rate. During the Nine months ended April 30, 2009 the Company had 1,800 subscribers. The Company receives revenue mainly from monthly service and modem rental fees collected from its subscribers. The Company's installation revenue, while representing 8% of revenues currently, is expected to increase rapidly as our marketing teams expand. The Company also receives web hosting fees, fiber construction projects fees and late fees which

together represent less than 1% of total revenue. The Company expects revenues to increase rapidly as a result of organic growth, planned acquisitions and increase in average revenue per unit ("ARPU").
Operational Expenses
Operational expenses include service costs, plant and signal delivery, marketing and sales, general and administration and salaries and benefits.
Service costs include the cost of billing and collection. During 2010, service costs increased by $30,307 to $43,307 (2009 - $13,000). This increase was due mainly to the increase in the number of customers accounts offset by a decrease in the cost of collection. Service costs have not, and are not expected to increase significantly during the remainder of 2010.
Plant and signal delivery expenses include the rental of tower infrastructures, the purchase of internet transmission (backhaul) the cost of installations at customers' premises and the customer premises equipment operating lease costs. During 2010 plant and signal delivery expenses increased by $659,433 to $1,019,433 (2009 - $360,000), an increase of 283%. The increase in revenues was 343% during this period and as subscribers are added to the network the incremental cost of that subscriber is lower. This increase was due mainly to the increase in the number of towers under rental arrangements, the amount of backhaul needed to service the increase in subscribers, the increase in customer premises equipment being leased pursuant to operating lease arrangements and the increase in customer installations. Plant and signal delivery costs per customer will significantly decrease once the Company populates its towers with customers. The Company, on average, has a penetration of approximately 4% of homes passed whereas the minimum target penetration is greater than 20% which is the penetration rate in the Wabash REMC coverage area.
In December, 2009, we upgraded our marketing and sales models which increased new installations from 50 during December, 2009 to 155 during January, 2010 and 220 during February, 2010. Our current growth, on a month over month basis, is 35% which is expected to increase each month.
Marketing and sales expenses include REMC fees, advertising and preparation of marketing materials. During 2010, marketing and sales expenses were $10,670 (2009- $5,000). Marketing and sales expenses are expected to significantly increase during 2010 as the Company increases its marketing plan to significantly increase organic growth. The Company now has five full-time sales people, which costs are included in salaries and benefits.
General and administration expenses include professional fees (legal, audit, accounting and outside professional consulting), investor relations consulting fees, office expenses (including rent, telephone and insurance), software fees and fees associated with late payments and bank charges. During 2010, general and administration expenses increased by $147,734 to $428,734 (2009 - $281,000). This increase is mainly due to being a public company during 2010 versus a private company during 2009. There are significant additional costs associated with being a public company including legal costs, auditing, investor relations and regulatory fees. General and administration expenses are not expected to increase significantly in 2010 in relation to increased revenue.
Salaries and benefits for 2010 have increased by $923,370 to $1,451,370 (2009 - $528,000). This increase is mainly due to the additional costs associated with hiring of senior and middle management to oversee the acquisition, marketing, financial reporting and operations teams. The Company went from 25 employees during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 to 68 employees during the nine months ended April 30, 2010. The Company does not expect to increase its number of employees significantly during 2010, except for certain key people to be brought on as a result of acquisitions and increasing the number of marketing teams we have in current and new regions brought on through acquisitions. Installations are now contracted out to an independent contractor and the Company's current number of employees is expected to be able to maintain a customer base at least double its current size. The Company continues to upgrade its employees as better trained personnel become available through acquisiti ons. Stock based compensation of $290,000 was charged to operations on January 2, 2009 with no corresponding charge during 2010.
Depreciation and amortization for 2010 increased by $322,210 to $530,210 (2009 - $208,000). This increase was attributed to amortization of customers' relationships of $219,069 (2009 - $nil). This increase was offset by a decrease of $30,000 in depreciation of our property and equipment due to assets being fully depreciated.
-20-
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense for 2010 increased by $100,476 to $169,476 (2009 - $69,000). The increase was a result of increased short-term and long-term debt levels offset by an overall reduction in the cost of debt to 6.8% achieved through negotiations with all creditors. During the nine months ended April 30, 2010 the Company's cost of short-term and long-term debt decreased by 2% to 6.8% from 8.8%. Interest expense will increase in 2010 as the Company plans to issue senior subordinated convertible debt securities at 6% and bonds at 4% to 5%. The Company will also issue short-term notes as part consideration of planned acquisitions.
During 2010 the Company had written-off a $10,000 non-refundable deposit on a 2008 planned acquisition that did not complete. Other income included accounts payable written-off of $45,000 (2009 - $17,000).
Net Loss
The net loss for 2010 increased by $555,202 to $1,683,202 (2009 - $1,128,000). This increase in loss was due to increases in operational expenses (other than stock based compensation) of $1,798,724. These operational expense increases were mainly due to variable items such as increase in plant and delivery of $659,433 and an increase in salaries and benefits of $923,370. General and administration increased by $147,734 as a result of being a public company and depreciation and amortization increased by $322,210 due to amortization of customers' relationships. These increases to net loss were offset by a $1,481,433 increase in revenues and a one-time stock based compensation expense in 2009 of $290,000 which was not incurred during 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company completed its acquisition of Omnicity, Incorporated on February 17, 2009. Prior to this the Company was a dormant early exploration stage company with no operations. Since then, the Company's acquisition and transition teams have acquired and folded in ten WISP's increasing its subscriber base from 1,800 to 11,500 as at April 30, 2010. See discussion under "Revenues" above for our increase in cash flow from our customers.

Cash to Operating Activities
During the nine months ended 2010, operating activities used cash of $1,178,000 (2009 - $774,000). Our loss for 2010 was $2,020,000 (2009 - $1,728,000), which included a non-cash outlay for interest expense accreted of $35,000, a financing charge of $5,000, an asset written-off of $10,000, a gain on sale of tower equipment of $31,000 and depreciation and amortization of $551,000 (2009 - $341,000) and, during 2009, a non-cash stock based compensation expense of $290,000 for a net cash outflow of $1,460,000 (2009 - $1,097,000) before changes in working capital items. Our accounts receivable have increased by $23,000 due to our increase in customer base. Prepaid expenses decreased by $83,000 (2009 - increase of $7,000). Our accounts payable and accrued liabilities have increased slightly by $166,000 as compared to 2009 where our operations were partially financed by our creditors totalling $333,000.
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. As a result of these costs, operating losses are likely to be incurred by a system during the roll-out period.
-21-
During 2010, investing activities used net cash of $1,901,000 (2009 - $149,000). We acquired, through asset purchase agreements and equipment purchases, tower and customers' premises equipment totalling $1,420,000, net of sale leaseback proceeds of $225,000 (2009 - $195,000, net of sale leaseback proceeds of $489,000). We acquired customers' relationships, through asset purchase agreements, totalling $1,435,000; cash consideration was $419,000 and non-cash consideration was 1,022,000.
Cash from Financing Activities
During 2010, financing activities provided cash of $2,973,000 (2009 - $993,000). Proceeds of $1,120,000 was received from common stock subscriptions (2009 - $577,000). During 2010, proceeds of $1,017,000 (2009 - $370,000) were received from short-term loans and $1,510,000 (2009 - $145,000) from long-term debt. A total of $961,000 of short-term debt became long-term debt due to renegotiations with note holders. We repaid $674,000 (2009 - $85,000) of short-term debt, long-term debt and capital lease obligations.
