Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Nine months ended September 30, 2008
Note 1. | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
| a) | Description of Business |
The business of Phantom Fiber Corporation (the “Company”) is conducted through its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary Phantom Fiber Inc. headquartered in Toronto, Canada.
The Company is engaged in the business of the sale and licensing of its proprietary wireless software platform and integration services. Phantom Fiber uses its software platform to extend the rich multimedia content and user experience of its customers’ existing Internet web sites securely and instantly to the Personal Digital Assistants (“PDA’s”) and cell phones of mobile users.
Phantom Fiber derives its revenue from direct sales of various licensing and revenue sharing plans that allow its revenues to grow based upon the adoption rate of its customer’s end users.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business, notwithstanding the continuing operating losses and the accumulated deficit of $11,696,501 as at September 30, 2008. In addition, the Company is delinquent in the remittance of payroll taxes totaling $469,943 withheld from employees as of September 30, 2008. Beginning August 29, 2008, the Company must pay $55,000 for the next twenty months, to the holder of a senior convertible note and 10% of the monthly revenues which exceed $600,000 per month. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to generate future profitable operations and receive continued support from its lenders, shareholders and raise external financing. Management recognizes this and is currently going through the process of securing additional capital to allow the Company to continue operations unhindered. During 2008, management has been in discussion with a number of potential investors to provide short term and long term financing to meet the ongoing capital requirements of the Company. Management is currently negotiating with these investors in order to ensure the Company receives the optimal terms on these deals. Management has also taken measures to decrease its monthly ongoing expenses. Management’s efforts have also been directed towards the development and implementation of a plan to generate sufficient ongoing revenues to cover all of its present and future costs and expenses. It has amended its pricing model to increase customization fees and has recently secured a number of contracts which it expects will generate sufficient ongoing revenue to generate profits. Management intends to raise sufficient capital to eliminate or greatly reduce its current debt and provide sufficient working capital to achieve profitability.
Note 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of, and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial information as of December 31, 2007, is derived from Phantom Fiber Corporation (the "Company") financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. Certain information or footnote disclosures in this filing that are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim filings. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, as included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2008, or any other portion thereof.

| b) | Net income (loss) per share |
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of other securities into Common Stock, but only if dilutive. Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as at September 30, 2008 and 2007, have been excluded from the per share computation because they were anti-dilutive.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments” (“SFAS 123(R)”), an amendment to SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (“SFAS 123”), using the modified prospective method. SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share based payments granted to employees. (see note 4(c)).

| e) | Recent Accounting Pronouncement: |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS 157-2 – Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this statement on its non-financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160. “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-and Amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not currently expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about 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. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS. No. 161 on its financial statements.

Note 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. Prior to the issuance of SFAS 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement on Auditing Standards ("SAS") No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accept Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption of SFAS 162 may have on the financial statements if any.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted in the current period.

Note 4. | Capital Structure (continued) |
On July 9, 2008 the Company issued a promissory note payable in exchange for a $25,000 advance. This promissory note had attached 3 year warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. These warrants were valued at $14,785.
On August 14, 2008 the Company issued 10,000 shares in exchange for accrued interest on loans payable totaling $50,000. These loans were repaid during the quarter. These shares were valued at $1,700 which represents the market price on the date of issue.
On September 2, 2008 the Company issued 2,500,000 shares to a relative of the Company’s president. These chares were issued in exchange for outstanding debt and accrued interest totaling $416,372. These shares were valued at $450,000 which represents the market price on the date of issue.
(c) Share – Based Payments:
In connection with a reverse acquisition in July 2004, the Company’s stock option plan was amended to increase the number of options to be issued under the plan from a maximum of 150,000 options to a maximum of 2,000,000 options.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company’s Plan is accounted for in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("FAS 123(R)"), which replaces FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. FAS 123 (R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements. In addition, the Company adheres to the guidance set forth within Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107, which provides the Staff's views regarding the interaction between FAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
In adopting FAS 123(R), the Company applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of FAS 123 (R) are to be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under FAS 123.
The Company's results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 include share-based compensation expense of $67,236, $11,354 and $203,258, $36,066, respectively. The options were granted on February 11, 2002 and July 14, 2006 and the vesting period ranges from immediately to 3 years. These amounts have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within operating expenses. No income tax benefit has been recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements due to a history of operating losses.
Stock option compensation expense in 2008 is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award.
During 2008, the Company took into consideration guidance under FAS 123R and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. The fair value of options granted during the six month periods were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Note 5. | Senior Convertible Notes |
In connection with the January 2006 issuance of $3,500,000 of senior convertible notes, the Company has accounted for the conversion option in the notes as an embedded derivative under the provisions of FAS 133: Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, and EITF 00-19: “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”), the Company had recorded initially the value of the warrants and conversion option at $3,042,290 and $2,983,856, respectively. As the proceeds of the notes of $3,500,000 are less than the combined fair value of the warrants and the conversion option, the initial difference of $2,526,146 has been charged to interest expense on derivative instruments, a non-operating expense, in the consolidated statements of operations. The note is determined to have no value and has been recorded with a debt discount of $3,500,000, the value of the notes. The debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the underlying debt accordingly; the effective interest rate for the debt is 507%. The cash paid of $300,720, the value of the warrants of $211,519 and the shares issued of $43,200 to the private agents and lawyers have been accounted as deferred financing cost and the warrants have been accounted for as additional paid in capital. The deferred financing costs are being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the underlying convertible note.
The company revalued both the conversion option and the warrants as of September 30, 2008 at $0. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the company has recorded income of $354,344 from the change in value of these derivative instruments.
On January 31, 2008, the Company concluded the negotiations for the extension of the Senior Secured Note and on February 11, 2008, the final agreements were delivered to the Holder. The amendments are to its outstanding Senior Unsecured Note (the “Amended Note”) in the principal amount of $2,642,000 originally entered into on January 6, 2006. The Holder of the Amended Note, Victory Park Master Fund, Ltd., (the “Holder”) agreed to an extension of the maturity date until May 31, 2008. In exchange for waiving interest due and any technical defaults of the original Registration Rights Agreement and in exchange for the extension of the maturity date and the cancellation of the Class A Warrants to purchase up to 2,642,000 $0.001 par value common stock of the Company for an exercise price of $1.50 per share, the Company agreed to issue 900,000 restricted common shares to the Holder. The agreements also provide for the early prepayment of the Amended Note at a discount under certain circumstances. The revised interest rate of the Amended Note is 12% annually and the amendment also provides for the Holder to be granted a security interest in all of the Registrant’s assets. The Company initially valued the conversion option as of January 31, 2008 at $939,550 which was fully recognized in income as of May 31, 2008. The conversion option exercise price is $0.25. Effective May 31, 2008, the Company paid the Holder $250,000 towards the principal, accrued interest and expenses resulting in a revised principal balance of $2,404,410, accrued interest owing of $95,649 and accrued expenses owing of $29,940. Victory Park Master Fund, Ltd., (the “Holder”) agreed to a second extension of the maturity date until May 31, 2010. The agreement provides for monthly payments of $55,000 beginning on August 29, 2008 and beginning on July 10, 2008 and the tenth day of each month following until maturity, the Company will pay an amount equal to 10% of the previous calendar month gross revenue provided that the resulting amount is greater than $60,000. Provisions of the amended note state that the note will be considered in default if the required $55,000 monthly payments are not made in a timely basis. In the event of default, the holder can demand immediate payment of all principal and interest plus under the amended note (see also note 9, subsequent event). The agreement also calls for weekly and monthly reporting to be reviewed by a third party consultant. The lender also agrees to return for cancellation, Class A warrants to purchase up to 2,642,000 $0.001 par value common stock of the Company for an exercise price of $0.56 per share. The Company initially valued the conversion option at $869,816 and revalued these at $533,942 for the period ended September 30, 2008. This resulted in an income of $335,874 from the change in value of these instruments.
On January 15, 2008, the Company issued (a) $973,583 principal amount of new senior convertible notes, and (b) warrants to purchase 2,165,674 shares of common stock, to 7 accredited investors. These convertible notes were utilized to pay other borrowings received amounting to $182,300, the settlement of short term loans payable of $780,000 and settlement of director dividends payable in the amount of $11,283 all of which was outstanding as of December 31, 2007. The senior convertible notes bear interest at 1% per annum payable semi-annually. The notes mature two years from the date of issuance and are convertible into shares of common stock at the investors’ option at $0.50 per share for one investor and $0.42 per share for the remaining investors, subject to adjustment. The warrants are exercisable until three years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.50 per share. This transaction was exempt from registration requirement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated there under. The Company initially valued the conversion option and warrants at $779,643 and $471,792, respectively. The Company revalued these at $38,586 and $105,504, respectively for the period ended September 30, 2008. This resulted in income of $1,107,345 from the change in value of these instruments.

Note 8. | Fair Value Measurements |
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our fair value measurements.

Current Business and Outlook
Phantom Fiber provides a wireless data delivery platform and services that allow users to experience internet-like graphics and internet-like speed in an end-to-end highly secure solution across numerous mobile devices and network carriers. The Company’s customers include cellular network carriers, financial institutions, and several online gaming, horse racing, fixed odd game providers and sports book software companies. The focus for the company initially has been on the gaming and entertainment sector, over the past year the Company has expanded its sales and marketing efforts and has now secured clients in the financial and mobile payments vertical, healthcare, logistics and distribution software providers, and the security and remote-monitoring industries.
Phantom Fiber’s licensing models are determined by customers that can ideally sustain a client base greater then 1,000 mobile users. In such cases, we typically enter into exclusive multi-year, revenue-sharing agreements, under which subscribers use Phantom Fiber’s technology to offer services or functions such as games, content or various other features with the ability to transact to their existing data servers. The subscribers are charged a monthly user fee or percentage of the revenues generated from those clients. Phantom Fiber does not produce or distribute any content or industry specific applications, it strictly provides a mobile transport layer that delivers encrypted packets over the cellular networks on behalf of a hosting client. Phantom Fiber remains a wireless transaction enablement company allowing clients to extend functionality to mobile devices such as cellular phones. Phantom Fiber has no plans of entering the wagering or game related market.
Over the past 12 months from a technical perspective, Phantom Fiber continued to strengthen its core functions such as increasing performance, simplifying usage, expanding its device coverage to over 1,500 device types, and providing a more robust server architecture to allow clients to remotely monitor the performance and condition of the platform to ensure it remains up and running at all times. The Company also expanded its platform functionality with stronger video streaming technology, location based tracking and monitoring and analytical tools and representation to further differentiate its offering from any competition. It is the Company’s goal to further exploit these key technical differentiators. Our market positioning in the gaming and entertainment sector remains strong as one of the dominant and recognized mobile solutions provider. With the geographic reach of our offices and ability to support phones indifferent of type or carrier, we believe we will make significant progress in this sector over the next 12 months. We have also targeted other market sectors that have a demand for not only a mobile application, but require the presentation and performance inherent to our product.
The Company’s goal for this upcoming year will be to continue its focus on market penetration in vertical markets in which we are recognized. The Company will continue to deploy the backlog of sites it has amassed through its existing contracts and to work much closer with its partners in assisting them in the marketing of a mobile product. Each client signed usually represents a number of sites who license our partners’ software. Therefore, each signed partnership agreement requires Phantom Fiber to deploy a number of sites which make up the companies backlog. In order to address this backlog the Company focused on introducing methodologies and product constructs geared towards more quickly producing brands for the underlying operators. It has also introduced several “ease of use” functions within the product to provide a more simple experience to the end user, again with the intent of increasing adoption.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business, notwithstanding the continuing operating losses and the accumulated deficit of $11,696,501 and shareholders’ deficit of $4,141,332 as at September 30, 2008. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital being made available. Management recognizes this and is currently going through the process of securing additional capital to allow the company to continue operations unhindered. Management’s efforts over the past twelve months have also been directed towards the development and implementation of a plan to generate sufficient ongoing revenues to cover all of its present and future costs and expenses. These efforts have allowed the Company to greatly reduce its ongoing losses and the Company believes it will be cash flow positive in 2008. Therefore management intends to raise sufficient capital to eliminate or greatly reduce its current debt and provide sufficient working capital to achieve ongoing profitability. Management is also currently working with the note holder in an attempt to restructure the note to decrease the monthly payments demands.

Future Cash Requirements and Uncertainties Regarding Our Liquidity
Future Cash Requirements
Our primary future cash requirements will be to repay short-term borrowings, delinquent payroll taxes payable, convertible notes payable and fund general operating costs of the Company.
Uncertainties Regarding Our Liquidity
We do not expect to generate sufficient cash from operations and will need to incur additional debt or issue equity financing. If we are unable to obtain additional third-party financing in the future and our operations do not generate sufficient cash we will be unable to continue as a going concern.
We believe the following uncertainties exist regarding our liquidity:
| o | Ability to Increase Revenue—Our ability to generate cash from operating activities will be a primary source of our liquidity. If our revenues were to decline, our ability to generate net cash from operating activities in a sufficient amount to meet our cash needs could be adversely affected. Our capacity to generate cash in the future is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. |
| o | External Financing— If the Company is unable to raise additional cash through debt or equity financing it will be unable to satisfy its current liabilities, including short-term and convertible debt borrowings. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition, which is incorporated herein.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates the estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to bad debts, investments, customer accounts, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Note 2 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. See Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
Not applicable.

Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
