Note A. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company's 51%
majority owned subsidiary, World IP Incorporated and its wholly-owned foreign
subsidiaries from November 11,1999, the date the Company acquired a controlling
interest, to December 31,1999. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation are included herein. Operating results for the six month period
ended December 31,1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending June 30, 2000.
The Company was incorporated on April 30, 1998 and was inactive from that date
until April 7, 1999 when it acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of
Media Forum International, Inc. Consequently, no comparative results of
operations or financial statements for the six month period ended December
31,1998 are included herein. The results of operations include only the six
month period ended December 31, 1999.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors, which have affected the Company's financial position and operating
results. Certain statements under this caption may constitute "forward-looking
statements". See Part II- Other Information.
(a) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues. Revenue from continuing operations represents telephone wholesale
network sales from the Company's 51% majority owned subsidiary World IP for the
period November 11,1999 to December 31,1999. The Company had no other revenues
from continuing operations.
Costs and Expenses. Cost of telephone network sales of $126,473 through the
Company's 51% majority owned subsidiary includes the cost of third party
telephone network providers.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and Administrative expenses
includes $981,288 of professional services rendered to the Company in exchange
for restricted common stock and other selling and marketing expenses incurred in
connection with the Company's telephone network activities and support of the
Spectrucell wireless technology being developed by a corporation related to the
Company. It also includes amortization expense of $49,500 in connection with
bond issuance costs ($32,500) and purchased goodwill ($17,000).
5
Other Income/Expense. Included in other income/expense of $364,498 for the six
month period ended December 31, 1999 is $242,561 of gain from the
extinguishments of $422,561 of prior shareholder loans in exchange for 600,000
of Company's restricted common stock valued at $180,000. In addition, $121,937
of other income was recognized on the abandonment of certain accounts payable
and accrued expenses of Media Forum International, Inc, a predecessor
corporation. Interest expense of $650,000 was incurred during this period as a
result of the Company's issuance of $650,000 of Secured Convertible Debentures
due April 1, 2000. Under the terms of the Secured Convertible Debentures, the
holders of the debentures could, at any time, and at their option, convert the
notes into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to
50% of the average bid price during the 20 trading days immediately preceding
the applicable conversion date. Since the convertible debentures contain a
beneficial conversion feature, which when computed at its intrinsic value, is
equal to the principal amount of the debt, applicable accounting guidelines
require that the Company record as interest expense during this period, $650,000
representing the interest component of the beneficial conversion feature.
(b) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1999, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was
$138,523, an increase of approximately $128,000 from July 1, 1999, the start of
the Company's fiscal year. No cash was provided by operations. All cash was
provided from financing activities including the issuance of $650,000 of Secured
Convertible Debentures and the closing of the Company's April 1999 Reg. 504D
offering during July 1999.
On December 7, 1999 the Company entered into an agreement with Bridgewater
Capital Corporation ("Bridgewater"), a California based investment banking firm
to assist the Company in securing additional equity financing. Under the terms
of the agreement, Bridgewater will assist the Company in identifying a target
corporation to enter into a reverse merger with and, on a best efforts basis,
secure equity funding for the Company in an amount up to $40 million based on
the successful filing by the Company of a S-4 registration statement. Under such
agreement, such equity amounts would be funded in the following amounts and at
the following times; $5 million at the close of the merger transaction, $10
million upon the filing of the S-4 registration statement and thereafter, a $25
million draw down equity line.
The Company is considering other alternatives and sources to obtain the
necessary capital to continue its wholesale telephone network business and to
assist its related company, Advanced Communications Technologies Pty Ltd
(Australia) in their development and testing of the Spectrucell wireless
technology.
(c) ACQUISITIONS
On November 11,1999 the Company's newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary Advanced
Global Communications ("AGC") entered into an agreement with the shareholders of
World IP Incorporated ("World") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Sur
Comunicaciones, S.A. (a Chilean
6
corporation) and Acinel S.A. (an Argentinean corporation), hereinafter the
"World Group" to acquire a controlling interest in the World Group. The World
Group provides wholesale international telephone services from the U.S. to Chile
and Argentina. Under the terms of the agreement, AGC purchased 1,020 shares or
51% of World's common stock for $95,000 plus 500,000 shares of the Company's
restricted common stock. The former shareholders of World own the remaining 49%
interest. In addition, AGC has agreed to pay up to $60,000 to World to fund the
acquisition of a point of presence ("POP") in Venezuela. Moreover, the agreement
provides for certain additional shares of the Company to be issued to the former
World shareholders based on World's performance on the six month anniversary
date of the acquisition. At December 31,1999 the Company owed $50,000 to the
former World shareholders.
The Company intends to grow through acquisition and as part of this growth
strategy, will continue to evaluate and pursue opportunities to acquire other
companies, assets and product lines that either complement or expand the
Company's existing businesses. The Company intends to use available cash from
operations, if any, and authorized but unissued common stock to finance any such
acquisitions. Assuming that the Company is successful in obtaining additional
equity financings, it contemplates making additional acquisitions during fiscal
2000.
