PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all
of the information you should consider before making an investment decision. You
should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the financial statements
and the notes relating to the financial statements.
THE COMPANY
We are engaged in the acquisition and development of a chain of full service
retail wireless stores in the Florida Gulf Coast region and the Philadelphia
suburban market. Our primary business is the marketing, sale and activation of
cellular and satellite handsets, cellular accessories and other related wireless
products such as Wi-Fi service and related access equipment for residential or
business purposes. We also market and sell products worldwide through our web
sites. On October 5, 2005, we announced a proposal to spin off our subsidiary
FTS Wireless following the acquisition of a profitable company. We acquired See
World in January 2006. We are still evaluating the feasibility, appropriateness
and timing of a potential spin-off.
THE OFFERING

stock by several selling shareholders who obtained shares of our common stock
and warrants in a private placement transaction. This prospectus covers the
resale of our stock by the selling shareholders either in the open market or to
other investors through negotiated transactions.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the following risk factors and information in our periodic
reports filed with the SEC. If any of the following risks actually occur, our
business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected and you may lose some or all of your investment.
WE HAD A LOSS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 THERE IS A RISK WE MAY NEVER
BECOME PROFITABLE.
We had a net loss of $2,328,353 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and a net
loss of $1,997,236 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Our future operations
may not be profitable if we are unable to develop and expand our wireless
business and our Internet operations. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend
upon various factors, including whether we will be able to receive funding to
advertise our products or find additional businesses to operate and/or acquire.
We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals
would have an adverse impact on us.
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN DUE
TO RECURRING LOSSES AND WORKING CAPITAL SHORTAGES, WHICH MEANS THAT WE MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS UNLESS WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005,
reflect a net loss of $1,997,236 and stockholders' equity of $212,411 as of
December 31, 2005. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern if sufficient additional funding is not acquired or
alternative sources of capital are not developed to meet our working capital
needs. If we can not obtain additional funding as needed, our business may fail.
4
WE MAY, IN THE FUTURE, ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK WHICH WOULD
REDUCE INVESTORS PERCENT OF OWNERSHIP AND MAY DILUTE OUR SHARE VALUE.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of
common stock. As of April 28, 2006 we have 114,589,131 shares of our common
stock issued and outstanding. We are also authorized to issue 150,000 shares of
our Series A 10% convertible preferred stock of which no shares are issued or
outstanding and 4,850,000 undesignated preferred shares of which no shares are
issued or outstanding. The future issuance of all or part of our remaining
authorized common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of
our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common
stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock
for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions will have the
effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have
an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
WE ONLY RECENTLY ACQUIRED OUR OPERATING UNITS AND HAVE BEEN SELLING WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS AND SATELLITE TELEVISION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR A SHORT PERIOD
OF TIME AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE OUR BUSINESS.
We began our retail wireless operations in February 2003 with our acquisition of
selected assets of Simply Cellular, Inc. Since we have just begun operations in
this industry, we may not find commercial acceptance of our products and
services. We have no way of predicting whether our marketing efforts will be
successful in attracting new customers and acquiring market share. We may not be
able to acquire products and technologies that will attract customers without
which we cannot operate profitably. As of the period ending June 30, 2006 our
wholly owned subsidiary FTS Wireless generated approximately 28.7% of total
revenue. The remaining 71.3% came from our wholly owned subsidiary See World
Satellites, Inc. acquired on January 3rd, 2006.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS HAVE FLUCTUATED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE PAST AND WE BELIEVE
THEY WILL FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. INVESTORS MAY
PREFER STABLE AND PREDICTABLE OPERATING RESULTS AND MAY SELL OUR STOCK IF OUR
OPERATING RESULTS CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE OR DO NOT MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS FOR
GROWTH. AS A RESULT YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK MAY LOSE VALUE.
Our quarterly results of operations have varied in the past and are likely to
continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our operating expenses
are based on expected future revenues and are relatively fixed in the short
term. If our revenues are lower than expected, our results of operations could
be lower than expected. Additionally, we are unable to forecast our future
revenues with certainty because our business plan contemplates the acquisition
of new enterprises, which may not occur. Many factors can cause our financial
results to fluctuate, some of which are outside of our control.
Quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful
and you should not rely upon them as an indication of our future performance. In
addition, during certain future periods our operating results likely will fall
below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event,
the market price of our common stock likely would decline.
WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND IF WE DO NOT FIND SUCH
CAPITAL ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS
PLAN.
We believe we must grow our operations to generate enough revenue to cover our
operating and overhead costs. Therefore, our business plan contemplates the
acquisition of new enterprises. The proceeds from our existing financial
arrangement may not be sufficient to fully implement our business plan.
Additionally, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues from our
existing operations to fund our capital requirements. Accordingly, we may
require additional funds to enable us to operate profitably. Such financing may
not be available on terms acceptable to us. We currently have no bank borrowings
or credit facilities, and we may not be able to arrange any such debt financing.
Additionally, we may not be able to successfully consummate additional offerings
of stock or other securities in order to meet our future capital requirements.
If we cannot raise additional capital through issuing stock or bank borrowings,
we may not be able to sustain or grow our business.
5
TO BECOME PROFITABLE AND GROW, WE MUST SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE NEW BUSINESSES.
Our success depends upon our ability to identify and acquire undervalued
businesses. Although we have identified certain companies available for
potential acquisition that are undervalued and might offer attractive business
opportunities, we may not be able to negotiate profitable acquisitions. If we do
make business acquisitions, we must continue to implement and improve our
operational, financial and management information systems. We must also hire,
train and retain additional qualified personnel, continue to expand and upgrade
core technologies, and effectively manage our relationships with customers,
suppliers, and other third parties. If we expand as anticipated, expansion could
place a significant strain on our current services and support operations, sales
and administrative personnel, capital resources, and other company resources. If
we fail to effectively manage our growth, our expenses may increase which could
lower our earnings or prevent us from becoming profitable. Failure to
effectively manage our growth could also result in us failing to generate
sufficient revenues to become profitable.
WE DEPEND ON MR. SCOTT GALLAGHER, OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, AND IF HE LEAVES
US, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
Our success in achieving our growth objectives depends upon the efforts of our
top management team including the efforts of Mr. Scott Gallagher. The loss of
Mr. Gallagher's services would negatively affect our ability to implement our
business plan, and, as a result, our financial condition, including our cash
position, ability to obtain funding and generate revenues would be harmed.
Although we intend to apply for key-man life insurance, we do not currently
maintain key life insurance policies for Mr. Gallagher.
OUR STOCK PRICE IS VOLATILE AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES AT A
PRICE HIGHER THAN WHAT YOU PAID.
The market for our common stock is highly volatile. Our common stock has
experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and
volume fluctuations. During the past six months our share price has moved
between $0.02 and $0.14, and the average daily trading volume has varied between
30,300 shares per day and 6,052,900 shares per day. As a result, the market
price of our common stock could decrease without regard to our operating
performance. In addition, we believe factors such as quarterly fluctuations in
our financial results, announcements of technological innovations or new
products by our competitors or us, changes in prices of our products and
services or our competitors' products and services, changes in our product mix
and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets
could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. If our
stock price fluctuates, you may not be able to sell your shares at a price
higher than what you paid.
THE LIMITED TRADING VOLUME OF OUR STOCK MAY DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK OR
CAUSE IT TO FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY.
There has been a limited public market for our common stock and an active
trading market for our common stock may not develop. As a result, you may not be
able to sell your common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all.
WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH AUTHORIZED SHARES TO CONVERT ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OUR
PREFERRED STOCK, CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND TO ISSUE SHARES UPON THE EXERCISE OF
WARRANTS AND, IF WE DO NOT INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED SHARES, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THOSE INSTRUMENTS.
We have issued certain convertible securities including preferred stock and
convertible notes that convert into shares of our common stock. Additionally, we
have issued warrants that, when exercised, will require us to issue common
stock. We do not currently have enough common stock authorized to provide for
the number of shares we will have to issue if all of our outstanding securities
were to convert or be exercised. We filed a proxy with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the purpose of calling a shareholder meeting and asking
shareholders to vote on an increase in authorized shares. If shareholders do not
approve an increase in authorized shares, we will have to consider alternatives
to meet our obligations to issue shares of common stock. One alternative might
be to renegotiate the terms of the convertible securities. Another alternative
might be to ask shareholders to approve a reverse split of our stock which would
allow us to issue more shares. We believe shareholders will approve the increase
in authorized shares so we have not yet explored these alternatives.
WE MUST COMPLY WITH PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS WHICH COULD EFFECT THE LIQUIDITY AND
PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate
broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other
than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on
NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Prior to
a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to: Deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC; Provide the customer
with current bid and offers quotations for the penny stock; Explain the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
Provide monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock
held in the customer's account; Make a special written determination that the
penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receives the
purchaser's; and Provide a written agreement to the transaction. These
requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in
the secondary market for our stock. Because our shares are subject to the penny
stock rules, you may find it more difficult to sell your shares.
6
WE DEPEND IN THIRD PARTY VENDORS FOR 100% OF OUR BUSINESS AS WE DO NOT OWN ANY
WIRELESS NETWORKS OR MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SECURE
COST-EFFECTIVE PRODUCTS WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN PROFITABLE OR SUSTAIN OUR
REVENUES AND MAY LOSE MONEY.
Our performance depends on our ability to purchase products in sufficient
quantities at competitive prices and on our vendors' ability to make and deliver
high quality products in a cost effective, timely manner. Some of our smaller
vendors have limited resources, production capacities, and limited operating
histories. We have no long-term purchase contracts or other contracts that
provide continued supply, pricing or access to new products and any vendor or
distributor could discontinue selling to us at any time. We may not be able to
acquire the products that we need in sufficient quantities or on terms that are
acceptable to us in the future. As a result, we may not become profitable.
WE EARN REVENUE BASED ON AGREEMENTS WITH CELLULAR AND SATELLITE SERVICE
PROVIDERS AND, IF THE CONTRACTS ARE CANCELED WE WOULD LOSE 100% OF THE REVENUE
GENERATED FROM THESE ACTIVITIES.
We earn revenues by providing cellular and satellite activations for major
wireless carriers such as Metro PCS, Cingular, Sprint/Nextel, and GlobalStar.
These agreements are partly based on geography and we signed contracts to earn
revenues from activations in Florida. Our agreements may be cancelled at any
time by either party. If any of our agreements are cancelled, we will not earn
activations through that carrier which will cause our revenues to decrease. If
we do not provide activations for a broad line of carriers, our stores will not
be as competitive. As a result, our revenues may decrease and we may not become
profitable.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE WITH OTHER COMPANIES WHICH WOULD
NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR EARNINGS AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A DECLINE IN OUR STOCK.
We operate in a highly competitive environment. We principally compete with
other independent retailers, privately held chains that offer a broad range of
products and carrier owned and operated stores with more name recognition and
brand identity than us. We believe that success in the industry is based on
maintenance of product quality, competitive pricing, delivery efficiency,
customer service and satisfaction levels, maintenance of satisfactory dealer
relationships, and the ability to anticipate technological changes and changes
in customer preferences. Additionally, we believe competition may become more
intense over time due to an increasing percentage of customers that already own
the products we sell. If we can not compete in our markets, we will not sell a
sufficient number of products to generate enough revenues to become profitable.
Additionally, our suppliers, whose products we distribute, or major cellular
phone manufacturers, may acquire, startup, and or expand their own distribution
systems to sell directly to commercial and retail customers which would cause us
to lose revenue which could ultimately cause a decline in the value of our
stock.
THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING AND IF THE INDUSTRY DOES
NOT REMAIN AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR US WE MAY HAVE TO SHIFT OUR
BUSINESS PLAN WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOWER OR NO EARNINGS AND OUR STOCK PRICE
COULD DECLINE.
The technology that our products rely on is constantly changing. The rapid
change in technology may lead to the development of wireless telecommunications
services or alternative services that consumers prefer over traditional
cellular. As a result, we must continue to stay current with new technologies
and offer products and services that meet customer demands. It is difficult to
predict how our product line will evolve over time and what our profitability
margins will be on future products. It is also difficult to predict whether
consumers will purchase new products to take advantage of advancements in
technology. There is uncertainty as to the extent to which airtime charges and
monthly recurring charges may continue to decline. If the technology that our
products rely on changes in a way that reduces customer demand for our products
or reduces the profitability of our products, we may have to adjust our business
plan. If we adjust our business plan, our revenues and earnings may decrease and
our stock price may move lower.
7
WE SELL PRODUCTS THAT RELY ON THIRD PARTY NETWORKS TO OPERATE; IF A NETWORK
DISRUPTION OCCURS WE WOULD NO LONGER BE ABLE TO SELL THESE PRODUCTS AND WOULD
LOSE 100% OF THE RELATED REVENUE GENERATED FROM THE SALE OF WIRELESS HANDSETS
WHILE THE NETWORK WAS DOWN.
The products we sell rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of
cellular and satellite networks, which are built and maintained by third parties
such as Cingular and Sprint. Any failure of these cellular or satellite systems
could cause our products to work poorly or not at all. A failure by these third
parties to maintain their cellular and satellite systems could result in lower
sales of our products which could reduce our revenues and lower our earnings.
Additionally, our customers may not understand that the failure of a cellular or
satellite system is due to a third party rather than our products and our
reputation could be harmed. If our reputation is harmed, we may have difficulty
selling our products. We may have to increase our advertising costs to repair
our reputation or educate consumers. As a result, a third party failure may
result in us failing to become profitable or, if we become profitable, we may
not be able to sustain profitability.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The 212,848,288 shares of common stock covered by this prospectus are to be sold
by certain selling shareholders who will receive all of the proceeds from such
sales. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common shares.
However, we may receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants. We can not
predict when, or if, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants.
It is possible the warrants will expire and will never be exercised. The
proceeds from our exercise of warrants, if any, will be used for working capital
and general corporate expenses, expansion of our internal operations and
potential acquisition costs, although we do not currently have any agreements or
arrangements for pending acquisitions. If all of the warrants from this offering
are exercised, we will receive a total of $1,950,396.20. $1,332,632.60 if all of
the Class A Warrants are exercised, $555,263.65 if all of the Class B Warrants
are exercised and $62,500 if all of the warrants issued to Olympus Securities
are exercised.
Proceeds of the offering which are not immediately required for the purposes
described above will be invested in United States government securities,
short-term certificates of deposit, money market funds and other high-grade,
short-term interest-bearing investments.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling stockholders may sell shares from time to time in negotiated
transactions, broker transactions or a combination of such methods at market
prices prevailing at the time of the sale or at negotiated prices.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
Based upon information available to us as of April 21, 2006, the following table
sets forth the name of the selling stockholders, the number of shares owned, the
number of shares registered by this prospectus and the number of outstanding
shares that the selling stockholders will own after the sale of the registered

transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933. As used in this prospectus, "selling stockholder" includes donees,
pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received
from the named selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, distribution or other
non-sale related transfer.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated
by the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Unless otherwise
noted, each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment
power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with
respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders
may sell the shares from time to time:
- - in transactions on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or on any national
securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national
securities association on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the
time of sale; or
- - in private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or
systems or in the over-the-counter market; or
- - at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or
- - in negotiated transactions, or
- - in a combination of such methods of sale; or
- - any other method permitted by law.
The selling stockholders may effect such transactions by offering and selling
the shares directly to or through securities broker-dealers, and such
broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares
for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom the selling
stockholders may sell as principal, or both, which compensation as to a
particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions.
The selling shareholders, Olympus Securities and any broker-dealers who act in
connection with the sale of their shares may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions or
commissions received by them and profit on any resale of the shares as principal
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts, concessions and commissions under
the Securities Act.
On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this
prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling stockholders that they and any
securities broker-dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory
underwriters will be governed by the prospectus delivery requirements under the
Securities Act. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of any of the shares may not
simultaneously engage in market activities with respect to the common stock for
the applicable period under Regulation M prior to the commencement of such
distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the selling
security owners will be governed by the applicable provisions of the Securities
and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without
limitation Rules 10b-5 and Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing
of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling stockholders. All of
the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities.
On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this
prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling stockholders that the
anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act may apply to sales of
shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security owners and
any of their affiliates. We have informed the selling stockholders that they may
not:
- - engage in any stabilization activity in connection with any of the shares;
- - bid for or purchase any of the shares or any rights to acquire the shares,
- - attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the shares or rights to
acquire the shares other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act;
or- effect any sale or distribution of the shares until after the prospectus
shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if required, to describe
the terms of the sale or distribution.
We have informed the selling stockholders that they must affect all sales of
shares in broker's transactions, through broker-dealers acting as agents, in
transactions directly with market makers, or in privately negotiated
transactions where no broker or other third party, other than the purchaser, is
involved.
The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Any commissions paid or
any discounts or concessions allowed to any broker-dealers, and any profits
received on the resale of shares, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act if the broker-dealers purchase shares as
principal. In the absence of the registration statement to which this prospectus
is a part, certain of the selling stockholders would be able to sell their
shares only pursuant to the limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act.

PREFERRED STOCK
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, vest our Board of Directors with
authority to divide our preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the
relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series so established
to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada and the Articles
of Incorporation in respect to, among other things, (i) the number of shares to
constitute such series and the distinctive designations thereof; (ii) the rate

A total of 150,000 shares were designated Series A Preferred Stock, however,
none are outstanding. All Series A shares have an issue price and preference on
liquidation equal to $1.00 per share. The Series A Preferred Shares accrue
dividends at the rate of 10% per annum during the first two years following
issuance, which dividend is payable in cash and is cumulative. During the third

Shares automatically convert into shares of our common stock. The conversion

share held of record. Holders of the preferred stock vote with holders of the
common stock as one class.

of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to
receive dividends and shall have no voting rights. After June 1, 2006, the

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
HISTORY
We organized as Full Tilt Sports, Inc. in 1997 as a Colorado corporation to
develop and market a line of young men's casual apparel. We own several U.S.
trademarks relating to that business. Effective August 23, 2000, we changed our
name to FTS Apparel, Inc. Our attempts to build a profitable apparel business
were unsuccessful and the prior management team was unable to raise the required
funds to continue in the apparel business. As a result, we exited the apparel
business. In January 2002, we experienced a change in management. Effective
January 11, 2002, Scott Gallagher became our new Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer and we appointed three new directors. The new Chairman agreed to
purchase 1,861,618 shares of our common stock owned by two of the former
officers and directors and other shareholders. The new management team initially
developed a strategic plan to acquire and develop cash flow positive businesses.
After an analysis of the market, management determined to primarily focus on
building a diversified wireless business. FTS Wireless Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary, was organized as a Florida corporation in February 2003 to acquire
and develop a chain of retail wireless locations in the Gulf Coast market of
Florida. On January 26, 2004, we changed our name to FTS Group, Inc. to reflect
the change in our operations. Additionally, on that date, we changed our state
of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada. In January 2006, we acquired
Pennsylvania based See World Satellites, Inc., a regional service provider and
retail distributor for Dish Networks, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Based on the 2005 proforma results of See World Satellites, Inc. and FTS
Wireless, Inc. reported in our previous SEC filings reflecting top line sales of
$6,349,407, we expect FTS to generate profitable 2006 sales in the range of $6.3
to $7.5 Million. In addition were exploring several cross marketing and
expansion opportunities between our two wholly owned subsidiaries designed at
increasing sales and improving operating efficiencies of both Companies for 2006
and beyond.
BUSINESS
Our goal is to develop, invest in and acquire cash-flow positive businesses and
viable business projects, primarily in the Wireless, Internet and Technology
Industries for the benefit of our Company and our stockholders. Since changing
our business model in 2002 from a pure apparel Company we have purchased a
business with significant cash-flow relative to our size in See World
Satellites, Inc. Additionally we have developed several retail wireless
locations in the Gulf Coast market of Florida for our wholly owned subsidiary
FTS Wireless, Inc. . We are continuously evaluating attractive investment
opportunities that have the potential to benefit our Company and our
stockholders. Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries See World Satellites, Inc.
and FTS Wireless, Inc., we are creating a diversified wireless distribution
business. Our subsidiary FTS Wireless, Inc. distributes wireless communications
products such as cell phones, PDAs and related communication devices and
accessories through retail locations to customers in the Gulf Coast region of
Florida. Our subsidiary See World Satellites, Inc. is an RSP (Regional Service
Provider) and retail distributor of satellite television systems and services
for DISH Networks. On the RSP side of our business we install satellite
television systems sold by DISH networks and are paid a commission for each
installation completed. On the retail side of our business we sell and install
satellite systems for DISH Networks through our retail location in Indiana, Pa.
We operate our business as a "Bricks and Clicks" model. On the "Bricks" side of
our business through our subsidiaries FTS Wireless, Inc. we operate a chain of
nine retail wireless locations in the Gulf Coast market of Florida. We derive
our revenue primarily from the "Bricks" side of our business model through the
sale of wireless handsets and accessories. We distribute wireless phones and
related products and rate plans from some of the nation's largest wireless
carriers including, Cingular and Sprint/Nextel, in the Gulf Coast market of
Florida. We can also market Cingular and Sprint products in selected markets
around the country. In addition we sell cellular phones and activate rate plans
for Dallas-based Metro PCS in the Tampa/St. Petersburg market. Since launching
into the Tampa market in October of 2005, Metro PCS has become one of the
leading local wireless carriers in the Tampa market. We expect Metro PCS to
continue to capture additional market share when it launches its network into
the Orlando, Florida market sometime in Late 2006 or early 2007. Metro PCS
wireless handsets are currently the number one product sold through our retail
stores. We are not paid any commissions from Metro PCS and make our profit on
the sale of cellular phones and related accessories. Metro PCS is a leading
regional wireless carrier offering unlimited rate plans and unlimited text
messaging plans from $35 dollars a month to customers without the need of a
credit check or signing of an annual contract. Metro customers pay their
wireless bill at any Metro PCS approved location for a service charge. As of
March 1, 2006 six of our nine retail locations were approved to sell Metro PCS
products and services. We also offer our customer wireless handsets and
accessories for some of the national MVNO's (Mobile Virtual Network Operators)
such as AMP'D Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and Disney Mobile. The MVNO products do not
constitute a significant part of our revenue mix and generate less then 3% of
total sales. Through our wholly owned subsidiary See World satellites, Inc. we
operate a leading RSP (Regional Service Provider) for DISH Networks. The
business is based in Indiana, Pa. And provides installations and activation
fulfillment business for DISH. We operate a fleet of trucks that cover the
Pittsburgh market or generally operate within a 2-hour driving radius from our
offices in Indiana, Pa. We acquire the business on January 3, 2006.
On the "Clicks" side of our business model we own and operate a web site that
allows customers to create custom ring tones utilizing a software download from
the site. To date we have not generated any revenue from the site
www.CellChannel.com. Currently we drive traffic to the site and promote customer
loyalty by offering free access to our retail customers after they make an in
store wireless handset purchase. Using our site allows our customers to create
an unlimited numbers of custom ringtones versus paying $1 to 3 per ring tone
from the carriers We've created an opt-in e-mail list by offering free access to
CellChannel.com allowing us to market new wireless products and services to new
and existing customers without incurring additional cost. The site also helps us
promote customer loyalty by providing extra value for our customers. In the
future we plan to expand the site with new cellular and wireless products such
as cell phones, airtime cards, games and accessories and change the ring tone
download to a pay model.
We constantly re-evaluate our product portfolio to stay current with industry
trends and meet the needs of our customers. We also continuously evaluate how
new technologies such as Wi-Fi and Voice over Internet, or VoIP, will affect our
business. We believe these new communication technologies will provide us and
distributors like us with new opportunities as the technologies become more
widely adopted and next generation products and services are developed and
increase in demand.
THE MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
According to the semi-annual wireless industry survey released in June 2005 by
the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, or CTIA, 2005 was the
highest growth year to date, with subscriber growth up 25 million to 194.5
million subscribers. According to a trends study from Deloitte Research, by the
close of 2005, wireless subscriptions should hit nearly 2 billion on a world
wide basis, with cellular mobile dominating the wireless technology field.
Another key industry indicator is Minutes of Usages, or MOU, which rose 30.1%
year over year in 2005. According to the CTIA, wireless penetration rates in the
U.S. were over 65 percent.
16
We believe the increase in wireless subscribers and the substantial increase in
MOU validates our business model and represents a significant opportunity for us
to continue to gain market share and increase our retail and Internet
distribution channels within the markets in which we operate. We have targeted
our marketing and product mix towards certain niche sectors of the industry
particularly the Hispanic market. In the third quarter of 2005, a new wireless
carrier called Metro PCS entered our key market of Tampa/St. Petersburg. As of
March 1, 2006, we had six retail locations that are approved to market and
distribute Metro PCS products and services. Metro PCS offers customers unlimited
service plans starting at $35 per month. The key differentiator is that
customers do not have to enter into an annual contract or go through a credit
check of any kind. The business model has been very well received in our market
and Metro currently has more than 2 million subscribers. Our expansion plans for
2006 include opening additional Metro PCS approved locations as they roll out
new markets during the second half of 2006. According to the CTIA semi annual
wireless industry survey, from June 2004 to June 2005 wireless subscribers grew
by 25.2 million to 65% penetration, the highest growth rate in the U.S. wireless
market to date. FTS does not have subscribers or customer turnover. We sell
handsets to our customers who activate the phone service of the desired carrier
then they become a subscriber of that wireless carrier. A general increase in
wireless subscribers is positive for our business. We do not have the ability to
predict market share of the retail wireless business. However, we are the third
largest distributor for Metro PCS in the Tampa market according to Metro PCS'
published rankings for the specific time frames.
STRATEGIC PARTNERS AND CONTRACTS
POST-PAID
We activate wireless services through agreements with companies known as "Master
Agents." A Master Agent has the ability to pay us a higher per activation
commission than we could receive if we dealt directly with the major wireless
carriers. Their commission tier is based on the consolidated monthly activations
of all of their dealers. These companies pay us a commission for each new
cellular customer who signs a one or two year cellular contract with the
carrier. However, if that customer deactivates their cellular service within the
180-day period after signing the contract, the commission paid to us is charged
back to our account and not paid. We have set up a reserve for possible
activation charge-backs.
For Cingular Wireless we have an agreement in place with Philadelphia-based
Master Agent Digital Communications Warehouse to market and sell Cingular
products and services in approximately 19 markets around the country. For Sprint
PCS we have an agreement in place with Colorado-based Master Agent Wireless
Channels, Inc. to market and sell Sprint/NEXTEL products and services anywhere
in the United States.
We activate and rent satellite phones through an agreement with GlobalStar.
GlobalStar is one of the largest satellite communications providers in the
world.
PRE-PAID
We have marketing and distribution rights from a number of national pre-paid
wireless carriers known as Mobile Virtual Network Operators, or MVNOs. MVNOs
resell airtime from the national carriers. We resell products and services from
a number of other MVNOs such as Air Voice Wireless, Virgin Mobile, STI-Mobile
and Boost Mobile through agreements with our third parties service providers. We
are generally able to market and sell products and services from the MVNO in any
market the MVNO operates. We derive revenue from the sale of wireless handsets
and the sale of prepaid wireless airtime.
METRO PCS
Metro PCS is a regional wireless carrier based in Dallas, Texas with more than 2
million subscribers in various markets around the U.S. including Miami, Tampa,
Atlanta and Sacramento. We distribute Metro PCS wireless handsets and service
plans at six of our Metro PCS approved retail wireless locations in the Tampa/
St. Petersburg market. Metro PCS owns its own network and is therefore not
considered an MVNO. Since Metro PCS owns its network it has the ability to offer
its customers superior rate plans in its local market. Metro markets unlimited
anytime minute plans, unlimited long distance and unlimited text messaging plans
beginning at $35 per month with no credit check or service contract required.
COMPETITION
We operate in a highly competitive environment. The principal market for our FTS
Wireless retail locations is the Tampa/St. Petersburg market on the gulf coast
of Florida. Our stores are located generally within one hour drive time of
Tampa, Florida. We compete with both large and small retailers as described in
detail below. We believe we can effectively compete in our market by offering
superior customer service to our customers and added value items such as free
custom ring tones at our web site CellChannel.com. We also target the Hispanic
community, the fastest growing sector of the Tampa/St. Petersburg market. Most
of our customer service reps are bi lingual. We also have an agreement with
Tampa Bay Devil Rays shortstop Julio Lugo to serve as our Company spokesman in
Radio and print advertisements in both English and Spanish. In addition we
believe that larger retailer's such as Best Buy or Office Max do not focus
exclusively on wireless products and devices. Due to this belief their service
reps may not be as familiar with new wireless products and devices as FTS
service reps. We further believe that our physical retail locations provide us
with a competitive advantage over our smaller competitors due to the fact that
wireless carriers usually will not allow another wireless retailer to open a
competing location within a 1 to 5 mile radius of our locations.
17
In regards to See World Satellites, Inc. we operate in the Western Pennsylvania
market as an RSP (regional service provider) for DISH networks. We are one of 21
RSP's operating in the US and the only RSP operating in the Western, Pa. market.
We expect to remain the only RSP in our market for the foreseeable future.
Basically as an RSP DISH provides use with satellite system installation
business in our market generated from their advertising programs and the
advertising programs of other mass marketers. Since there are no other RSP's in
our market we do not see any material competition to our RSP related business.
CARRIERS CORPORATE OWNED STORES
We compete against stores owned by service carriers including:
- - Sprint/NEXTEL;
- - Cingular;
- - T-Mobile;
- - Verizon Wireless and
- - Metro PCS.
The carrier-owned corporate stores generally sell only their own wireless
products and services. We believe our product offerings are superior to
corporate stores because we offer customers service from multiple carriers and
provide the best solution for each customer's individual needs. In addition, we
offer wireless content, accessories, Wi-Fi access, Satellite phones and service.
LARGE NATIONAL RETAILERS
We compete against large national retailers including:
- - Radio Shack;
- - Best Buy;
- - Staples; and
- - Office Depot.
These retailers promote wireless-boxed products with limited customer support.
We believe we offer a higher level of customer service and product knowledge to
our customers as compared to large national retailers. We also believe our
customer service is superior because we focus only on wireless products and
services, which are only a part of the business of the above-mentioned
retailers. However, due to scale of purchasing power, number of locations and
advertising budgets, large national retailers can sometimes offer discounts
superior to ours.
LOCAL WIRELESS RETAILERS
We compete with a variety of smaller independent retailers. Our main competitors
are:
- - Beepers N Phones, which operates approximately 25 stores in the state of
Florida and promotes several brands of wireless products.
- - The Mobile Zone, which operates approximately 15 stores in the state of
Florida and promotes several brands of wireless products and services.
- - GCS Wireless which operates approximately 10 stores in Florida and primarily
promotes products and services from only one wireless carrier.
We also compete with a variety of smaller, independent retailers operating less
than three stores. We compete against these retailers by offering a broad
product range and superior customer service.
MARKETING
We depend on advertising and marketing to attract new customers. We currently
advertise in local print publications, including daily newspapers and weekly
publications, advertise on the Internet, Radio and in flyers. Additionally, we
run in store product related promotions including a referral program geared at
generating new business through our existing customer base. We currently spend
between $3,000 and $5,000 per month on advertising depending on the placement of
our ads. During times of increased advertising, we spend approximately $5,000 to
$7,500 or more per month on new product roll-outs and marketing campaigns
including print, Internet and television media advertising. We believe our
advertising campaigns have increased foot traffic in our stores and increased
our overall name recognition.
18
SUPPLIERS
We buy wireless handsets from our Master Agents and other designated
distributors. We purchase all of our Metro PCS handsets from Bright Point, one
of the largest handset distributors in the world. For Sprint/Nextel we purchase
our handsets from our Master agent, Wireless Channels. For Cingular we purchase
our handsets from DCW.
We purchase accessories from various dealers depending on price and product
availability.
We purchase satellite supplies directly from Echostar Satellite, LLC for the
regional service provider side of our business and from All Systems, Inc. a
national master agent for the retail side of our business.
INVESTMENTS
In March 2003, we acquired 30,000 shares of preferred stock in Vidyah, Inc., a
private technology company, for $15,000 in cash. Holders of the Vidyah preferred
stock have the same voting rights as holders of the common stock. The preferred
stock has liquidation rights and is convertible, at the holder's option, into an
equivalent number of shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments.
Vidyah provides comprehensive technology learning solutions, certification
programs, and customized learning for a variety of Fortune 1000 companies,
including, Disney, Sony, Microsoft, IBM, Cisco Systems, Harvard University, etc.
We purchased an interest in Vidyah.com because we believe Vidyah represents an
attractive investment that will increase in value over time. In November 2005,
we acquired a 40% stake in Bucharest, Romania-based mobile game developer Maxim
Software SRL for $5,000 in cash. Maxim creates, develops and markets mobile
games in the Asian and European markets. As part of the agreement, we acquired
exclusive U.S. distribution rights to Maxim's portfolio of mobile games. Maxim
will also develop a proprietary wireless content software product for us to be
implemented on CellChannel.com.
SEASONALITY
The wireless industry typically generates a higher number of subscriber
additions and handset sales in the fourth quarter of each year, as compared to
the remaining quarters. This is due to the use of retail distribution, which is
dependent on the holiday shopping season; timing of new products and service
introductions; and aggressive marketing and sales promotions. To date, we have
not experienced any seasonality in our sales, although we may in the future as
we expand our retail operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2006, we had twelve full time employees. Two of our employees are
at the corporate level, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Interim CFO
Scott Gallagher and our Chief Operating Officer, Dave Rasmussen. In connection
with our cellular phones and accessories business, we employ eleven full time
individuals and one part time individual to run our Florida stores.
We expect to hire additional employees over the next twelve months as our
business grows. From time-to-time, we engage the services of outside consultants
to assist in our business, including attorneys, accountants, and marketing and
advertising personnel. We may engage the services of additional individuals in
the future as our business needs dictate and our financial resources permit.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
Historically, and through the year ended December 31, 2001, we operated
exclusively in the apparel industry. In January 2002, we experienced a
management change after the prior management team was unable to raise the
required funds to continue in the apparel business. Our business now focuses on
developing and acquiring cash-flow positive businesses and viable business
projects, primarily those in the wireless and technology industries. As of March
15, 2006, we operated a total of nine retail locations. Due to continuing losses
from operations, the independent registered public accountant that audited our
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 assessed that there
was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2005
Sales revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $598,449, or 84%,
to $1,310,731, as compared to $712,282 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The
increase in sales revenues was primarily related to the acquisition and
development of new stores opened for the entire year as well as the launch of a
new wireless carrier in our core market of Tampa/St. Petersburg. The new stores
and the addition of Metro PCS sales in the second half of 2005 contributed to
the increase in the year over year sales revenue. Metro PCS is a regional
wireless carrier that we began selling handsets and related products for in
October of 2005. Revenues showed a substantial increase in 2005 over that of
2004 due to total sales volume increases resulting from the opening of multiple
new store locations throughout the year. However, a decrease in gross margin,
despite the rise in total revenues is attributable to a change in product mix.
Around the beginning of the fourth quarter 2005, the Company followed through on
its decision to convert multiple locations to Metro based outfits and the
transition from post paid to pre paid sales was made. Post paid activations were
not phased out; however, prepaid phones became the dominant product. Greater
commissions are earned on the post paid arrangement; however, gross profit will
inevitably be greater with the push on prepaid products under this different
pricing model. Therefore, the cost associated with putting the new pricing model
into effect has a temporary negative result to the gross margin percentage.
Cost of Goods Sold for the year ended December 31, 2005, increased $588,985 to
$1,110,645, as compared to $521,660 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The
increase in Cost of Goods Sold is primarily related to the overall growth of our
business and increased buying levels of lower margin prepaid wireless handsets
from Metro PCS, airtime, wireless devices, and accessories.
19
Selling, General and Administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2005
decreased $424,274 to $1,767,563 as compared to $2,191,837 for the year December
31, 2004. The decrease in Selling, General and Administrative expenses were
primarily related to more efficient operating cost as well as reduced investor
relations and public relations services and reduced cost's incurred in the area
of capital raising.
Interest expense increased to $422,259 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from
$212,638 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was due mainly to
the accrual of interest on promissory notes as part of the capital raised during
the year ended December 31, 2005.
We had a net loss of $1,997,236 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as
compared to net loss of $2,328,353 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
The decrease in net loss was primarily due to lowered consulting fees and
financing-related expenses. We closed a financing in January of 2005 and
therefore did not need to incur additional fees related to acquiring additional
financing throughout the year.
As of December 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $10,305,762.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2005, total current assets increased to $1,323,143 versus
$175,862 as of December 31, 2004. Current assets consisted of $803,079 of cash,
$12,201 of accounts receivable, $33,180 of inventories and $474,683 of prepaid
expenses and current assets.
The significant increase in current assets was due primarily to the December 29,
2005 settlement of an agreement to issue up to $1,896,551 of secured,
convertible promissory notes with an original discount of 21%. Proceeds of
$1,000,000 were received on December 29, 2005, hence the increase in cash. On
January 4, 2006 additional proceeds of $440,000 were received. The monies
received in 2006 were shown as a prepaid asset on the December 31, 2005 balance
sheet since the settlement was finalized. The obligation for the promissory
notes was recorded in full as of December 31, 2005; therefore, the corresponding
unfunded amount needed to be recorded as receivable.
As of December 31, 2005, total current liabilities increased to $1,331,996 from
$648,724 as of December 31, 2004. Current liabilities consisted of $468,185 of
accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable to related parties of
$80,850, and $782,961 reflecting the current portion of the convertible
debentures.
Significant changes in components of current liabilities results from a shifting
of funding sources. In 2004, the Company utilized Dutchess Advisors to fund
shortfalls in working capital. The last Dutchess Advisors note was short term in
nature and paid off in entirety in early 2005, hence the 100% decrease in this
note payable. We canceled our equity line with Dutchess Private Equities Fund,
LP on December 30, 2005. Exploring other financing options at the same time the
Company continued to operate at a loss caused a substantial increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses, almost equal in proportion to the paid off
Dutchess note. We will require additional capital to support strategic
acquisitions, pay down debt and to fund our expansion plans. We raised funds
from institutional investors during 2005 through the sale of convertible
promissory notes, equity securities and the issuance of warrants. We believe
that for the next twelve months we will need to raise additional capital to meet
our debt commitments. However, we turned profitable during the first quarter of
2006 and expect to generate cash from operations in order to make some scheduled
debt payments. Also, we have warrants outstanding that if exercised, would
provide us with the capital required to meet our debt commitments. Our auditors
have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our requirements for capital are to (i) pay down debt,(ii)fund possible
acquisitions, and (iii) provide working capital and funds to expand our current
business. Our primary source of financing during the three months ended March
31, 2006 include cash received from the issuance of common stock and cash
generated from operations.
20
Our currently anticipated levels of revenues and cash flow are subject to many
uncertainties. Until we generate cash flow from operations that will be
sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we will continue to seek
alternative means for financing our operations and capital expenditures and/or
postpone or eliminate certain investments or expenditures. Potential alternative
means for financing may include obtaining additional debt or equity financing.
When needed, additional financing may not be available, or available on
acceptable terms. The inability to obtain additional financing or generate
sufficient cash from operations could require us to reduce or eliminate
expenditures for acquiring or developing new retail locations or marketing our
products, or otherwise curtail or discontinue our operations, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Furthermore, if we raise funds through the sale of additional equity
securities, the common stock currently outstanding will be diluted.
FINANCINGS
On December 29, 2005, we entered into a transaction in which we agreed to issue
up to $1,896,551 of secured, convertible promissory notes with an original
discount of 21%. We actually raised $1,820,690 in the transaction. The Notes can
convert into shares of our common stock, subject to certain conditions, at a per
share conversion price set forth in the Notes. On December 29, 2005, we received
proceeds of $1,000,000 after the 21% discount but before expenses. On January 4,
2005 we received an additional $440,000 after the 21% discount but before
expenses.
We also agreed to issue warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. We
agreed to issue 100 Class A Warrants for each 100 shares which would be issued
on the closing date assuming the complete conversion of the Notes on the closing
date at the conversion price then in effect. The exercise price of the Class A
Warrant is $0.02868. The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable until the date
that the Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) has
been effective for the unrestricted public resale of the Warrant Shares for 4
years.
We agreed to issue 50 Class B Warrants for each 100 shares which would be issued
on the closing date assuming the complete conversion of the Notes on the closing
date at the conversion price then in effect. The exercise price of the Class B
Warrants is $0.0239. The Class B Warrants are exercisable until the later of
four months after the actual effective date of Registration Statement (as
defined in the Subscription Agreement), or ninety days after the actual
effective date of a Second Registration Statement (as defined in the
Subscription Agreement).
We also agreed to issue 35,520,424 shares of our common stock to be distributed
pro rata among the purchasers of the Notes.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 3, 2006, we acquired See World Satellites, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation. See World has material contracts with EchoStar and All Systems. We
paid $500,000 at the closing of the transaction on January 3, 2006. We agreed to
pay an additional $500,000 into an escrow account to be held until all material
contracts held by See World have been executed, amended or modified to
acknowledge our acquisition of See World and/or to make us a party to each
agreement such that we have full benefit of the agreements.
At the closing, we also issued to See World a two year secured promissory note
in the sum of $3,500,000. The Note does not pay interest. Pursuant to the terms
of the Note, we agreed to pay to See World seven equal cash installments of
$250,000. The initial installment is payable 90 days after closing and the
remaining installments are payable every three months thereafter. We also agreed
to make additional payments of $1,000,000 on January 3, 2007 and $750,000 on
April 3, 2008. The Note is secured against the assets of See World.
As part of the acquisition we issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock to Richard Miller. Mr. Miller is the former owner of
See World Satellites, Inc. He continues to serve as an employee of the Company.
These shares were worth $1,000,000 when issued.
See World Satellites, Inc. has been profitable for over five years. We believe
this acquisition will provide us with a predictable stream of positive cash flow
for years to come from which we can use to pay debt and further grow our
business over time. The acquisition also allowed us to expand our management
team and operating capabilities due to economies of scale.
21
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards,
or SFAS, No. 123R "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No. 123R establishes standards for
the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on
accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in
share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that the fair value of
such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial
statements as services are performed. SFAS 123R, replaces SFAS 123, Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation and Supercedes APB opinion No.25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees. This guidance is effective as of the first interim or
annual reporting period after December 15, 2005 for Small Business Filers. The
adoption of SFAS 123 (R) is not expected to have a material effect on our
financial position or operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29." The guidance in Accounting
Principles Board, APB, ("APB") Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions," is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets
should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance
in APB Opinion No. 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle.
SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a
general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the
future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result
of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 will be applied prospectively to
nonmonetary asset exchange transactions in fiscal year 2006. The adoption of
SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities", and interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51 "Consolidated Financial Statements." FIN No. 46 prescribes how to
identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interests
in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity.
This interpretation requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities
to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not
effectively disperse risks among parties involved. FIN 46 was scheduled to be
effective for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. On
December 24, 2003, the FASB published FIN No. 46(R), a revision to FIN No. 46.
FIN No. 46(R) clarifies certain provisions of FIN No. 46 and exempts certain
entities from its requirements. For interests in variable interest entities
acquired prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN No. 46(R) have been
applied on March 31, 2004. We determined the adoption of FIN 46(R) did not have
a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
judgments and estimates.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize net revenues from wholesale product sales upon the transfer of
title and risk of ownership to customers. Allowances for estimated returns,
discounts and doubtful accounts are provided when sales are recorded. Shipping
and handling costs are included in the cost of sales. We also recognize revenue
from the sale and activation of wireless handsets and related accessories.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade receivables, net of a valuation
allowance for doubtful accounts.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all short-term debt
securities with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense when incurred; major renewals and betterment are capitalized. When
property or equipment is sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in
the results of operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line
method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
22
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT
We periodically review the carrying amount of property and equipment. We
determine whether current events or circumstances warrant adjustments to
carrying amounts of long lived assets. If an impairment adjustment is deemed
necessary, such loss is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such
assets exceeds their fair market value. Considerable judgment is necessary for
estimating the fair value of assets; accordingly, actual results could vary
significantly from such estimates. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the
lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first in first out
method) or market value.
THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES REVENUE
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, overall sales increased $1,286,662 or
371.1%, to $1,633,392, as compared to $346,730 for the three months ended June
30, 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 sales increased to $3,267,006
from $650,700 during the same period in 2005. For the six months ended June 30,
2006 our wholly-owned subsidiary See World Satellites, Inc. generated revenue of
$2,330,091. See World generated 73.0% of our total sales for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 or $1,192,055. We have no comparable figures for the three
months ended June 30, 2005. Our sales revenue for See World is primarily
generated from the sale, service and installations of DISH satellite television
systems. For our wholly-owned subsidiary FTS Wireless, revenue increased
$286,215 or 44.0% to $936,915 compared to revenue of $650,700 for the six months
ended June 30, 2005. FTS Wireless generated 27.0% of our total sales or $441,337
for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to revenue of $346,730 for an
increase of 27.3%. Our sales revenue for FTS Wireless is generated from the sale
of wireless handsets and related products and services. We believe the increase
in sales revenue at FTS Wireless is related to the introduction of Metro PCS
products and services into our core market. During the three months ended June
30, 2005 Metro PCS did not operate in the Tampa, Florida market. The overall
increase in total sales revenue for the three and six month period was primarily
related to the acquisition of See World Satellites, Inc. completed in the first
quarter of this year.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, cost of goods sold increased by
$212,642 to $472,510, as compared to $259,868 for the three months ended June
30, 2005. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily related to increased
product purchases of DISH satellite television systems for See World and an
increase in wireless handset purchasing at FTS Wireless.
GROSS PROFITS
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, gross profits increased by $1,074,020
from $86,862 in 2005 to $1,160,882 in 2006. The increase in gross profits is
attributed to the increase in service and sales revenue of DISH satellite
systems relating to our wholly-owned subsidiary See World not offered during the
comparable period. Gross profits as a percentage of sales increased to 71.1% in
2006 compared to 25.1% in 2005. The increase in gross profits as a percentage of
sales is related to the introduction of new business related to the sales,
service and installation of satellite television systems for DISH networks at
our wholly-owned subsidiary See World.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2006, increased $794,361 or 291.7% to $1,066,642, as compared to $272,281 for
the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in Selling, General and
Administrative expenses was primarily related to increased operating costs
related to our newly-acquired operations at See World not included in the three
months ended June 30, 2005.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income increased to $94,240 during the three months ended June 30,
2006, compared to an operating loss of ($185,419) for the three months ended
June 30, 2005 for a net improvement of $279,659. Operating income increased to
$136,186 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to an operating
loss of ($772,294) for a net improvement of $908,480.
NET INCOME
Net income increased $247,922 to $56,867 for the three months ended June 30,
2006 compared to a net loss of ($191,055) during the three months ending June
30, 2005. The increase in net income was primarily related to an increase in
revenue of $1,192,055 from our new wholly-owned subsidiary See World. Net income
for the six month ended June 30, 2006 increased to $62,118 compared to a net
loss of ($962,042) for a net improvement of $1,024,160. The increase in net
income was primarily related to an increase in revenue of $2,330,091 from our
new wholly-owned subsidiary See World.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased $31,737 to $37,373 for the three months ended June
30, 2006, as compared to $5,636 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The
increase in interest expense is related to an increase in interest expenses from
a private placement closed on December 29, 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our requirements for capital are to:
o pay down debt,
o fund possible acquisitions, and
o provide working capital and funds to expand our current business.
Our primary source of financing during the three months ended June 30, 2006
includes cash received from the issuance of common stock and cash generated from
operations.
As of June 30, 2006, our Current Assets were $1,239,377 consisting of $537,558
in cash, $418,917 in inventories, $128,583 of accounts receivables and $154,319
of prepaid expenses and current assets. Current Liabilities were $3,850,749,
consisting of $1,238,321 of convertible debentures, $2,389,586 of notes payable
related parties, $212,946 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $9,896 of
long term debt-equipment loans.
At June 30, 2006, we had total assets of $7,196,971 consisting of, in addition
to the assets described above, excess of cost over the net assets of business
acquired $5,177,696, property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation of
$358,767, Unamortized discount of convertible debt of $315,231, unamortized debt
issuance costs $88,718 and deposits of $17,182.
23
GOING CONCERN OPINION
We believe that our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to grow
the profits of our satellite television operations and make our retail wireless
operations profitable and our ability to raise additional capital to reduce
debt. Accordingly, the notes to our un-audited, interim financial statements
express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we issued 11,458,338 shares of
restricted common stock upon the exercise of warrants priced at $0.0239. The
warrants were exercised by four accredited investors for total proceeds of
$273,854.28. At June 30, 2006, we had not issued 1,185,350 restricted shares
that we owed to one of the investors. On April 5, 2006, we issued 11,458,338 new
warrants to accredited investors under substantially the same terms as the
warrants that were exercised except that the exercise price on the new warrants
was increased to $0.04.
Our requirements for capital are to (i) pay down debt,(ii)fund possible
acquisitions, and (iii) provide working capital and funds to expand our current
business. Our primary source of financing during the three months ended June 30,
2006 include cash received from the issuance of common stock and cash generated
from operations.
Our currently anticipated levels of revenues and cash flow are subject to many
uncertainties. Until we generate cash flow from operations that will be
sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we will continue to seek
alternative means for financing our operations and capital expenditures and/or
postpone or eliminate certain investments or expenditures. Potential alternative
means for financing may include obtaining additional debt or equity financing.
When needed, additional financing may not be available, or available on
acceptable terms. The inability to obtain additional financing or generate
sufficient cash from operations could require us to reduce or eliminate
expenditures for acquiring or developing new retail locations or marketing our
products, or otherwise curtail or discontinue our operations, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Furthermore, if we raise funds through the sale of additional equity
securities, the common stock currently outstanding will be diluted.
SUBSIDIARIES
As of June 30, 2006, we had two wholly-owned subsidiaries, FTS Wireless, Inc.
and See World Satellites, Inc.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
As of March 1, 2006, we have nine leases for our retail stores and our corporate
facilities in Tampa, Florida. Our retail stores are located in the counties of
Hillsborough and Pinellas, generally within 30 miles of Tampa, Florida. The
retail stores vary in size from 500 to 2,000 square feet. Our principal office
is located in approximately 1,500 square feet of the leased facilities in Tampa,
Florida. The minimum aggregate monthly rental commitment for the retail stores
is $9,429. The terms of the leases vary from month to month to three years with
a three-year option.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During June 2004, we entered into a note agreement with our then Chief Financial
Officer, Linda Ehlen. Ms. Ehlen extended us a loan for $61,200 bearing interest
of 8% per annum and a face amount premium of 20%, or $12,240. The note also
included a stipulation that this related party would receive 307,000 shares of
common stock as an inducement for providing the financing. The proceeds of
$61,200 were allocated $43,200 to notes payable and $18,000 to the value of the
common stock to be issued, based on their relative fair values. The difference
between the amount to be repaid of $73,440 and the $43,200 represents a debt
discount in the amount of $30,240 which was recorded by the company. This amount
was amortized over the life of the loan. For the year ended December 31, 2004,
the Company had amortized $13,829 leaving an unamortized debt discount of
$16,411 at December 31, 2004. Unpaid principal remained at December 31, 2004 in
the amount of $63,440 for a net balance due of $47,029. This loan was paid in
full and the debt discount fully amortized during 2005.
During September 2004, we entered into a note agreement with our Chief Executive
Officer, Scott Gallagher. Mr. Gallagher extended us a loan for $125,000 bearing
interest of 8% per annum and a face amount premium of 20%, or $25,000. The note
also included a stipulation that this related party would receive 625,000 shares
of common stock as an inducement for providing the financing. The proceeds of
$125,000 were allocated $88,235 to notes payable and $36,765 to the value of the
common stock to be issued, based on their relative fair values. The difference
their relative fair values. The difference between the amount to be repaid of
$150,000 and the $88,235 represents a debt discount in the amount of $61,765
which was recorded by the company. This amount was amortized over the life of
the loan. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company had amortized
$28,245 leaving an unamortized debt discount of $33,520 at December 31, 2004.
Unpaid principal remained at December 31, 2004 in the amount of $98,242 for a
net balance due of $64,722. This loan was paid in full and the debt discount
fully amortized during 2005. Additional funds of $8,800 were advanced by and
repaid to Scott Gallagher during the course of the year in 2004.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, our Chief Executive Officer
advanced additional funds totaling $70,661 to us. During the fourth quarter,
these advances were converted to a note with an interest rate of 20% per annum.
The note must be repaid by August 2007. Mr. Gallagher was issued 1,000,000
shares of restricted stock as inducement for providing this financing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS, FTS GROUP, INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of FTS Group, Inc.
and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of FTS
Group, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in
Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working
capital deficit of $472,862 and a stockholders' deficit of $421,811 as of
December 31,2004. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

FTS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION, OWNERSHIP AND BUSINESS
FTS Group, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada. The Company is engaged in the acquisition and development of a chain of
full service retail wireless stores. The Company's primary business is the
marketing, sale and activation of cellular and satellite handsets, satellite
television activations and installations, cellular accessories and other related
wireless products such as Wi-Fi service and related access equipment for
residential or business purposes.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary: FTS Wireless, Inc. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade receivables, net of a valuation
allowance for doubtful accounts.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower-of-cost or market on a first-in, first-out
basis.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." Management determines the appropriate
classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of
purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date.
Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them
in the near term are classified as trading securities. Debt securities for which
the Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity and equity
securities not classified as trading securities are classified as
available-for-sale. The cost of investments sold is determined on the specific
identification or the first-in, first-out method. Trading securities are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings,
and available-for-sale securities are also reported at fair value but unrealized
gains and losses are shown in the caption "unrealized gains (losses) on shares
available-for-sale" included in stockholders' equity. Management determines fair
value of its investments based on quoted market prices at each balance sheet
date.
F-7
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Upon
retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with any resultant gain
or loss being recognized as a component of other income or expense. Depreciation
is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3-20 years) using the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods
for income tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill, and requires annual
impairment testing of goodwill and introduces the concept of indefinite life
intangible assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002.
Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset impairment is always assessed
based upon a comparison of carrying value with fair value.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Realization of long-lived assets, including goodwill, is periodically assessed
by the management of the Company. Accordingly, in the event that facts and
circumstances indicate that property and equipment, and intangible or other
assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If
an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows
associated with the asset are compared to the asset's carrying amount to
determine if a write-down to market value is necessary. In management's opinion,
there was no impairment of such assets at December 31, 2005. When the Company
completed its impairment testing for the year ended December 31, 2004, it
determined that the value of assets acquired related to certain store locations
were impaired in the amount of $107,000.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue from the activation of new wireless customers and the sale
of wireless handsets, airtime and accessories at the time of activation or sale.
Net revenues from wireless activations are recognized during the month the
activation is performed. Allowances for charge backs, returns, discounts and
doubtful accounts are provided when sales are recorded. Shipping and handling
costs are included in cost of sales.
Although our post-paid activations are subject to possible charge-back of
commissions if a customer deactivates service within the allowable 180-day
period after signing the contract, we still recognize the activation in the
period of the activation. We have set up a reserve for possible activation
charge-backs. Based on SFAS No. 48, this is permitted if reliable estimates of
the expected refunds can be made on a timely basis, the refunds are being made
for a large pool of homogeneous items, there is sufficient company-specific
historical basis upon which to estimate the refunds, and the amount of the
commission specified in the agreement at the outset of the arrangement is fixed,
other than the customer's right to request a refund.
INCOME TAXES
The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences
reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date
of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets
to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
F-8
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash of $560,000 represents funds held in escrow by Grushko & Mittman
to be utilized at the closing of the acquisition of See World Satellites in
January, 2006. The source of the funds was from the December 2005 issuance of
promissory notes designed for the purpose of raising funds for this acquisition.
The funds are contractually restricted and to be remitted directly towards
settlement of the acquisition.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net
earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a
period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the
net earnings, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, potential dilutive securities that had
an anti-dilutive effect were not included in the calculation of diluted net
earnings (loss) per common share. These securities include options to purchase
shares of common stock.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $23,631 and
$17,792 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using
the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations and
to elect the disclosure option of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to
employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the
Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the stock.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However,
considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Company estimates of fair value are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumption and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. The interest rates payable by the Company on its notes payable
approximate market rates. The Company believes that the fair value of its
financial instruments comprising accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts
payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts.
F-9
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections. SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20,
Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Internal
Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires
retrospective application of changes in accounting principle to prior periods'
financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 154 on January 1,
2006. Any impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and
earnings per share will be dependent on the amount of any accounting changes or
corrections of errors whenever recognized.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 153. This statement addresses the measurement
of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29,
"Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," is based on the principle that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged.
The guidance in that opinion; however, included certain exceptions to that
principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a
general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the
future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result
of the exchange. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the
date of this statement is issued. Management believes the adoption of this
statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, which amends FASB statement No. 66,
"Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," to reference the financial accounting and
reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in
AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing
Transactions." This statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, "Accounting for
Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects," to state that the
guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real
estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The
accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP
04-2. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this
statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
F-10
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, "Inventory Costs-- an
amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." This statement amends the guidance in ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material
(spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that "under some
circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double
freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as
current period charges." This statement requires that those items be recognized
as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so
abnormal." In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity
of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not
believe the adoption of this statement will have any immediate material impact
on the Company.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain 2004 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.
(2) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Major classes of property and equipment together with their estimated useful
lives, consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $35,974
and $15,851 respectively.
F-11
(3) CONVERTIBLE DEBT
During 2005 the Company raised a total of $1,820,690 from the issuance of
$1,896,551 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes with selected subscribers. The
Notes were issued at an original discount of 21%. On December 29, 2005, the
Company received $1,000,000 of the proceeds and a further $470,000 in January,
2006. Both amounts were after discount, but before expenses. The Company agreed
to issue 100 class A, and 50 class B warrants for each 100 shares on the closing
date of the issuance of the Notes, assuming complete conversion. The Company
also agreed to issue 35,520,424 shares of common stock to be distributed pro
rata to purchasers of the Notes (the common stock was issued effective December
29, 2005 and is included in the number of shares issued and outstanding at
December 31, 2005). The Conversion prices of the Notes, class A warrants, and
class B warrants as stated on the Notes are $0.04, $0.02868 and $0.0239
respectively.
(4) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
During February 2003 the Company completed an additional debenture offering.
Pursuant to a subscription agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP
("Dutchess") the Company received $212,500 from the sale of 6% secured
convertible debentures. The terms of the debentures provide for payment by
February 14, 2007 with the debentures being convertible into the Company's
common stock at any time at the lesser of (i) 80% of the average of the five
lowest closing bid prices during the 15 days prior to conversion or (ii) 100% of
the average of the closing bid prices for the 20 trading days immediately
preceding the closing date. The Company has registered the underlying shares on
Form SB-2. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 the amount of debentures outstanding
was $0 and $100,493 respectively. During 2004 Dutchess converted $350,093 worth
of debentures into 3,570,030 shares of stock.
During the year ended December 31, 2004 the Company issued approximately
3,570,030 shares to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP to reduce its balance by
$350,091. At December 31, 2004 the outstanding unconverted debenture totaled
$100,493, which has since been converted into approximately 1,004,930 shares of
stock of Dutchess.
(5) EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
The Company entered into an investment agreement in 2004 for an equity line of
credit with Dutchess Private Equities Fund. The agreement provides for a maximum
of $6,000,000 with 15,000,000 shares of common stock registered and available to
repay credit line advances. Shares are convertible based on 93% of the three-day
average of the lowest three out of five days subsequent to a put for funds. At
December 31, 2004, 12,854,131 shares were available under the terms of the
equity line agreement. During 2004, the Company raised $376,833 from the equity
line of credit.
(6) NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES
During June 2004, we entered into a note agreement with our then Chief Financial
Officer, Linda Ehlen. Ms. Ehlen extended us a loan for $61,200 bearing interest
of 8% per annum and a face amount premium of 20%, or $12,240. The note also
included a stipulation that this related party would receive 307,000 shares of
common stock as an inducement for providing the financing. The proceeds of
$61,200 were allocated $43,200 to notes payable and $18,000 to the value of the
common stock to be issued, based on their relative fair values. The difference
between the amount to be repaid of $73,440 and the $43,200 represents a debt
discount in the amount of $30,240 which was recorded by the company. This amount
was amortized over the life of the loan. For the year ended December 31, 2004,
the Company had amortized $13,829 leaving an unamortized debt discount of
$16,411 at December 31, 2004. Unpaid principal remained at December 31, 2004 in
the amount of $63,440 for a net balance due of $47,029. This loan was paid in
full and the debt discount fully amortized during 2005.
During September 2004, we entered into a note agreement with our Chief Executor
Officer, Scott Gallagher. Mr. Gallagher extended us a loan for $125,000 bearing
interest of 8% per annum and a face amount premium of 20%, or $25,000. The note
also included a stipulation that this related party would receive 625,000 shares
of common stock as an inducement for providing the financing. The proceeds of
$125,000 were allocated $88,235 to notes payable and $36,765 to the value of the
common stock to be issued, based on their relative fair values. The difference
between the amount to be repaid of $150,000 and the $88,235 represents a debt
discount in the amount of $61,765 which was recorded by the company. This amount
was amortized over the life of the loan. For the year ended December 31, 2004,
the Company had amortized $28,245 leaving an unamortized debt discount of
$33,520 at December 31, 2004. Unpaid principal remained at December 31, 2004 in
the amount of $98,242 for a net balance due of $64,722. This loan was paid in
full and the debt discount fully amortized during 2005. Additional funds of
$8,800 were advanced by and repaid to Scott Gallagher during the course of the
year in 2004.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, our Chief Executive Officer
advanced additional funds totaling $70,661 to us. During the fourth quarter,
these advances were converted to a note with an interest rate of 20% per annum.
The note must be repaid by August 2007. Mr. Gallagher was issued 1,000,000
shares of restricted stock as inducement for providing this financing.
F-12
(7) NOTE PAYABLE - DUTCHESS EQUITIES FUND
The Company signed a short-term Note payable to Dutchess Equities Fund, II L.P.
in the amount of $500,000 which was due in May of 2005. The loan bears interest
at a rate of 12% per annum, it includes a 20% premium. The premium in the amount
of $100,000 has been charged to the interest expense for 2005. The loan was paid
back timely.
750,000 shares of common stock were issued to Dutchess as inducement for
entering into the financing.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company also borrowed, under short
term loan agreements, $60,000 from Dutchess Private Equities Fund bearing an
interest rate of 12% per annum, it includes a 20% premium. The entire balance
was repaid during 2005.
(8) INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", which requires use of the liability method. SFAS 109 provides that
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for
financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
currently enacted tax rates and liabilities are expected to be settled or
realized.
Reconciliation of the Federal statutory income tax rate of 34% to the effective
rate is as follows:
December 31
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2005 2004
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal statutory income tax rate (659,000) (792,000)
659,000 792,000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- -
=======================================================================
The tax effects of temporary differences and net operating losses that give rise
to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the
following:
December 31
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reconciling items: 2005 2004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net operating loss carryforward: $ 3,244,000 $ 2,585,000
Less valuation allowance (3,244,000) (2,585,000)
Net deferred tax asset $ - $ -
========================================================================
The net operating loss carryforward of approximately $10,000,000 will expire
through 2024.
At December 31, 2005, the Company provided a 100% valuation allowance for the
deferred tax asset because given the volatility of the current economic climate,
it could not be determined whether it was more likely than not that the deferred
tax asset/(liability) would be realized.
F-13
(9) OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases real property for its seven retail locations. Five of the
locations have lease terms ranging from six months to three years while two
locations are on a month-to-month basis.
Future minimum payments due on the non-cancelable leases are as follows:
Year Annual
Ending Payments
------------------------------------------------------------------
2006 $ 95,439
2007 53,807
2008 633
------------------------------------------------------------------
$149,879
==================================================================
Rent expense was $165,392 and $135,447 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively.
(10) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's concentrations of credit risk consist principally of Accounts
Receivable and Accounts Payable. The Company purchases approximately 90% of
their telephone supplies from two vendors. Additionally, these same two vendors
are also major customers of the Company who provide over 60% of revenue.
(11) STOCK
During July 2003, the Company filed Form SB-2 Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to register 5,600,000 shares of common stock.
In conjunction with this registration statement the Company incurred legal and
accounting costs of approximately $35,000. The SB-2 Registration statement was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in October of 2003.
During January of 2004, the Company filed Form SB-2 Registration Statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission to register 15,000,000 shares of common
stock. In conjunction with this registration statement the Company incurred
legal and accounting costs of approximately $25,000. The SB-2 Registration
statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in
February of 2004.
During June of 2005, the Company filed Form SB-2 Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to register 47,501,563 shares of common
stock. In conjunction with this registration statement the Company incurred
legal and accounting costs of approximately $25,000. The SB-2 Registration
statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in
August of 2005.

On January 17th 2005 the Company closed a private placement and agreed to issue
12,200,050 shares of common stock to a group of accredited investors in private
placements at an average price of $0.08 per share for gross proceeds of $769,460
after 10% commission and 3% expense fee. In accordance with the subscription
agreement, the investors will receive two classes of warrants, called Series A
and Series B warrants, for each share of common stock purchased. The A warrants
have an exercise price of $0.08 and B warrants have an exercise price of $0.12.
The Company filed the terms and conditions of the financing and registration
rights in March of 2005 on Form 8-K. The funds raised in the private placement
were primarily used for working capital, costs related to the opening of new
locations and to reduce outstanding liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, $51,017 worth of debentures was
converted into 1,004,930 shares of stock relating to the Company's convertible
debenture with Dutchess Private Equities Fund. The convertible debenture was
fully extinguished during the period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, 2,085,426 shares of stock were
issued relating to the Company's equity line of credit for proceeds of $270,994.
Funds were used to repay outstanding notes.
The Company signed a short-term note payable to Dutchess Equities Fund, II L.P.
in the amount of $500,000 plus a $100,000 premium. The note, dated January 10th,
2005 matures on August 10, 2005. The note bears interest at 12% per annum. The
note carries certain restrictions relating to additional financing and
registration rights to certain shares issued to Dutchess. As of May 5th, 2005,
the note and interest have been paid in full.
The note contained a stipulation that the Company would deliver 500,000 shares
of common stock with "Piggy-Back" registration rights. In addition, the Company
issued 250,000 shares of restricted common stock in March 2005 relating to loan
inducements for a loan in 2004.
During January 2005, the Company issued 2,030,000 shares of common stock for
services pursuant to a Form S-8 registration. The shares were valued at fair
market on the date it was agreed that the shares would be issued. The non-stock
compensation expense of $294,350 has been charged to operations during the
period and reported under Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
On June 15th, 2004 the Company borrowed $61,200 from its CFO Linda Ehlen. On
September 25, 2004 the Company borrowed $133,800 from its Chairman and CEO Scott
Gallagher. The loans bear an interest rate of 8% per annum and due in June and
September of 2005. Two of the notes carried a 20% premium in the aggregate
amount of $37,240. The funds were primarily used to fund acquisitions and to
repay loans from Dutchess Private Equities Fund II, LP.
The two notes received from related parties, Mr. Gallagher and Mrs. Ehlen
required the Company to issue 932,000 (625,000 restricted common shares to Mr.
Gallagher and 307,000 restricted shares to Mrs. Ehlen) of common stock as an
inducement to provide the financing. On March 3, 2005 we issued 932,000
restricted common shares. Proceeds in the amount of $186,200 borrowed from two
of its officers have been allocated $131,435 to notes payable and $54,765 to the
value of the common stock to be issued to the individuals based on their
relative fair values. The difference between the amount to be repaid aggregating
$223,440 and the $131,435 represents a debt discount in the amount of $92,005
which was recorded by the Company. This amount is being amortized over the life
of the loans. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has amortized
$42,073 leaving an unamortized debt discount of $49,931 at December 31, 2004.
F-15
On January 15th, 2006 the Company issued 1,500,000 restricted common shares to
Scott Gallagher relating to a two year employment agreement entered into on
November 15th, 2005..
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005 warrants were exercised at $0.03 per
share by eight accredited investors for the purchase of 762,500 shares of common
stock.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005 the Company issued 5,474,880 shares
to Dutchess Private Equities Fund II, LP, under our equity line of credit for
proceeds of $134,575 after fees.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 35,520,424 shares
of common stock to a group of ten accredited investors relating to a financing
closed on December 29, 2005. An 8-K detailing this issuance was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 2006.
(12)(A) OPTIONS
The Company has a Non-Qualified Stock Option and Stock Grant Plan (the "Plan"),
adopted in July 1997. For the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company has not
granted any options. Under the Company's Plan, the Company's Board of Directors
has reserved 2,500,000 shares that may be granted at the Board of Directors'
discretion. No option may be granted after July 27, 2007 and the maximum term of
the options granted under the Plan is ten years. The effect of applying SFAS 123
on a pro forma basis was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
because all of the options were granted and fully vested prior to 2003. Changes
in options outstanding under the plan are summarized as follows:

(13) GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern
is contingent upon its ability to expand its operations and secure additional
financing. Failure to secure financing or expand operations may result in the
Company not being able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to
continue as a going concern.
(14) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 3, 2006, the Company acquired See World Satellites, Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation. The Company paid $500,000 at the closing of the
transaction on January 3, 2006. The Company agreed to pay an additional $500,000
into an escrow account to be held until all material contracts held by See World
have been executed, amended or modified to acknowledge our acquisition of See
World and/or to make us a party to each agreement such that we have full benefit
of the agreements.
At the closing, the Company also issued to See World a two year secured
promissory note in the sum of $3,500,000. The Note does not pay interest.
Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company agreed to pay to See World seven
equal cash installments of $250,000. The initial installment is payable 90 days
after closing and the remaining installments are payable every three months
thereafter. The Company also agreed to make additional payments of $1,000,000 on
January 3, 2007 and $750,000 on April 3, 2008. The Note is secured against the
assets of See World.
The Company also agreed to issue to Richard Miller $1,000,000 worth of our
convertible preferred stock within three days of the completion of the 2005
audit. The value of the shares will be based on the closing price of our stock
on January 3, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
ORGANIZATION, OWNERSHIP AND BUSINESS
FTS Group, Inc. (the "Company"), is a holding company incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is focused on developing, acquiring and
investing-in cash-flow positive businesses and viable business ventures
primarily those in the Internet, Wireless and Technology industries. Through its
two wholly-owned subsidiaries See World Satellites, Inc. and FTS Wireless, Inc.,
the Company has acquired and developed a diversified wireless business engaged
in the distribution of next generation wireless communications and entertainment
products and services for businesses and consumers alike. The Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary See World Satellites, Inc. is a leading distributor of
satellite television systems and relating products and services for DISH
Networks in the western Pennsylvania marketplace. The Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary FTS Wireless, Inc. is an emerging retail wireless distributor
operating in the gulf coast market of Florida.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries: FTS Wireless, Inc and See World Satellites, Inc.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the six months period ended June 30, 2006 are not indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rules of
Regulation S-B, the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes have
been condensed and do not contain certain information that will be included in
the Company's annual financial statements and footnotes thereto. For further
information, refer to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
and related footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
F-23
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
short-term debt securities with maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade receivables, net of a valuation
allowance for doubtful accounts.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower-of-cost or market on a first-in, first-out
basis.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." Management determines the appropriate
classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of
purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date.
Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them
in the near term are classified as trading securities. Debt securities for which
the Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity and equity
securities not classified as trading securities are classified as
available-for-sale. The cost of investments sold is determined on the specific
identification or the first-in, first-out method. Trading securities are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings,
and available-for-sale securities are also reported at fair value but unrealized
gains and losses are shown in the caption "unrealized gains (losses) on shares
available-for-sale" included in stockholders' equity. Management determines fair
value of its investments based on quoted market prices at each balance sheet
date.
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Upon
retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with any resultant gain
or loss being recognized as a component of other income or expense. Depreciation
is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3-20 years) using the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods
for income tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred.
F-24
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill, and requires annual
impairment testing of goodwill and introduces the concept of indefinite life
intangible assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment is always assessed
based upon a comparison of carrying value with fair value.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Realization of long-lived assets, including goodwill, is periodically assessed
by the management of the Company. Accordingly, in the event that facts and
circumstances indicate that property and equipment, and intangible or other
assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If
an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows
associated with the asset are compared to the asset's carrying amount to
determine if a write-down to market value is necessary. In management's opinion,
there was no impairment of such assets at December 31, 2005. When the Company
completed its impairment testing for the year ended December 31, 2004, it
determined that the value of assets acquired related to certain store locations
were impaired in the amount of $107,000.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from the activation of new wireless customers and
the sale of wireless handsets, airtime and accessories at the time of activation
or sale.
Net revenues from wireless activations are recognized during the month the
activation is performed. Allowances for charge-backs, returns, discounts and
doubtful accounts are provided when sales are recorded. Shipping and handling
costs are included in cost of sales.
Although the Company's post-paid activations are subject to possible charge-back
of commissions if a customer deactivates service within the allowable 180-day
period after signing the contract, they still recognize the activation in the
period of the activation. The Company has set up a reserve for possible
activation charge-backs. Based on SFAS No. 48, this is permitted if reliable
estimates of the expected refunds can be made on a timely basis, the refunds are
being made for a large pool of homogeneous items, there is sufficient
company-specific historical basis upon which to estimate the refunds, and the
amount of the commission specified in the agreement at the outset of the
arrangement is fixed, other than the customer's right to request a refund.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, See World Satellites, Inc. recognizes
revenue when it makes a sale within the store, completes a retail satellite
receiver installation at the customer's home and the customer signs a contract,
or completes a retail service provider satellite receiver installation at the
customer's home and signs a contract.
INCOME TAXES
The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences
reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date
of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets
to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
F-25
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net
earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a
period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the
net earnings, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the
six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, potential dilutive securities that had
an anti-dilutive effect were not included in the calculation of diluted net
earnings (loss) per common share. These securities include options to purchase
shares of common stock.
ADVERTISING COSTS
The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $74,629
and $9,091 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R) which
establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services.
Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on
the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period. We previously
applied APB 25 and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However,
considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Company estimates of fair value are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumption and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. The interest rates payable by the Company on its notes payable
approximate market rates. The Company believes that the fair value of its
financial instruments comprising accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts
payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections. SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20,
Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Internal
Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires
retrospective application of changes in accounting principle to prior periods'
financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006.
Any impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and earnings per
share will be dependent on the amount of any accounting changes or corrections
of errors whenever recognized.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 153. This statement addresses the measurement
of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29,
"Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," is based on the principle that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged.
The guidance in that opinion; however, included certain exceptions to that
principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a
general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the
future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result
of the exchange. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the
date this statement was issued. Management believes the adoption of this
statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, which amends FASB statement No. 66,
"Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," to reference the financial accounting and
reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in
AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing
Transactions." This statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, "Accounting for
Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects," to state that the
guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real
estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The
accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP
04-2. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this
statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, "Inventory Costs--an
amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." This statement amends the guidance in ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material
(spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that "under some
circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double
freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as
current period charges." This statement requires that those items be recognized
as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so
abnormal." In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity
of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not
believe the adoption of this statement will have any immediate material impact
on the Company.
F-27
(2) Restricted Cash
At June 30, 2006 Restricted Cash of $500,000 represents a short term note
obligation due Richard Miller as part of the financing of the acquisition of See
World Satellites, Inc. ("See World"). Per the purchase agreement, Mr. Miller is
to receive $500,000 within 30 days of the ratification of new five year renewal
contracts with Echo Star Satellites, LLC and DISH Network Services, LLC, both of
which were signed in June, 2006.
At December 31, 2005 Restricted Cash of $560,000 represents funds held in escrow
by Grushko & Mittman to be utilized at the closing of acquisition of See World
in January, 2006. The source of the funds was from the December 2005 issuance of
promissory notes designed for the purpose of raising funds for this acquisition.
The funds were contractually restricted to be remitted directly towards
settlement of the acquisition January 3, 2006.
(3) Property and Equipment
Major classes of property and equipment together with their estimated useful
lives, consisted of the following at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:
Years 2006 2005
------- --------- ---------
Leasehold improvements 5 $ 189,878 $ 180,937
Furniture & fixtures 5 125,689 54,208
Equipment 3-5 81,942 20,890
Vehicles 3 303,655 11,927
--------- ---------
Total property and equipment 701,164 267,962
Less: accumulated depreciation (342,397) (59,752)
--------- ---------
Net property and equipment $ 358,767 $ 208,210
========= =========
Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005
was $61,378 and $18,076
There was a significant increase in the Vehicles component of Property and
Equipment in 2006 from that reported for the comparable period in 2005. This
increase resulted from acquiring a fleet of trucks in the acquisition of See
World Satellites, Inc. The trucks are utilized for delivery of equipment and
service related activities consistent with that of the company's established
business purpose.
F-28
(4) Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern
is contingent upon its ability to expand its operations and secure additional
financing. The Company has warrants outstanding that if exercised will provide
for additional operating capital. The Company is pursuing additional financing
options in order to raise funds required to reduce outstanding debt obligations
and execute its operating and expansion plans. Failure to secure financing or
expand operations may result in the Company not being able to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
(5) Convertible Debt
In December 2005 and January 2006 the Company raised a total of $1,470,000 from
the issuance of $1,858,622 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes with selected
subscribers. The Notes were issued at an original discount of 21%. On December
29, 2005, the Company received $1,000,000 of the proceeds and a further $470,000
in January 2006. Both amounts were after discount, but before expenses. The
Company agreed to issue 100 class A, and 50 class B warrants for each 100 shares
on the closing date of the issuance of the Notes, assuming complete conversion.
The Company also agreed to issue 36,260,486 shares of common stock to be
distributed pro rata to purchasers of the Notes (the common stock was issued
effective December 29, 2005 and is included in the number of shares issued and
outstanding at December 31, 2005). The conversion prices of the Notes, Class A
Warrants, and Class B Warrants as stated on the Notes are $0.04, $0.02868 and
$0.0239 respectively.
(6) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", which requires use of the liability method. SFAS 109 provides that
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences
between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for
financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
currently enacted tax rates, and liabilities are expected to be settled or
realized.
Reconciliation of the Federal statutory income tax rate of 34% to the effective
rate is as follows:
December 31
--------------------
2005 2004
-------- --------
Federal statutory income tax rate (659,000) (792,000)
659,000 792,000
-------- --------
-- --
======== ========
The tax effects of temporary differences and net operating losses that give rise
to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the
following:
December 31
--------------------------
Reconciling items: 2005 2004
----------- -----------
Net operating loss carry forward: $ 3,244,000 $ 2,585,000
Less valuation allowance (3,244,000) (2,585,000)
Net deferred tax asset $ -- $ --
=========== ===========
The net operating loss carry forward of $10,243,644 will expire through 2024.
At June 30, 2006, the Company provided a 100% valuation allowance for the
deferred tax asset because given the volatility of the current economic climate,
it could not be determined whether it was more likely than not that the deferred
tax asset/(liability) would be realized.
(7) Operating Leases
The Company leases real property for its nine retail locations. Four of the
locations have lease terms ranging from three months to three years while five
locations are on a month-to-month basis.
Future minimum payments due on the non-cancelable leases are as follows:
Year Annual
Ending Payments
------------------------------------------------ --------
2006 $ 54,846
2007 72,026
2008 30.678
--------
$157,550
========
F-29
Rent expense was $92,849 and $90,683 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively.
(8) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's concentrations of credit risk consist principally of Accounts
Receivable and Accounts Payable. The Company purchases approximately 95% of
their satellite system supplies from Echostar Satellite, L.L.C. and DISH Network
Service, L.L.C. The Company further purchases approximately 80% of its telephone
supplies from one vendor, Metro PCS. Additionally, these three vendors are major
customers of the Company who provide products that generate over 90% of revenue.
(9) Stock

Preferred stock to Mr. Richard Miller, President of See World during the three
months ended March 31, 2006. The conversion rate for the Series B stock is 25

[We suggest inserting the following:
The following is a discussion of the rights and privileges of our outstanding
classes of common stock and preferred stock:
COMMON STOCK
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all
matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common stock do not have
cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably
in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of
Directors in its discretion from funds legally available therefore, subject to
the rights of Preferred stockholders. Please refer to our discussion below under

the holders of common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining
after payment in full of all liabilities, subject to the rights of Preferred
Stockholders. Please refer to our discussion below under "Preferred Stock."
Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase our common stock.
There are no conversion or redemption rights or sinking fund provisions with
respect to the common stock. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote
per share on all matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Shares
of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.
F-30
PREFERRED STOCK
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, vest our Board of Directors with
authority to divide our preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the
relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series so established
to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada and the Articles
of Incorporation in respect to, among other things, (i) the number of shares to
constitute such series and the distinctive designations thereof; (ii) the rate
and preference of dividends, if any, the time of payment of dividends, whether
dividends are cumulative and the date from which any dividend shall accrue;
(iii) whether preferred stock may be redeemed and, if so, the redemption price
and the terms and conditions of redemption; (iv) the liquidation preferences
payable on Preferred stock in the event of involuntary or voluntary liquidation;
(v) sinking fund or other provisions, if any, for redemption or purchase of
preferred Stock; (vi) the terms and conditions by which preferred stock may be

A total of 150,000 shares were designated Series A Preferred Stock, however,
none are outstanding. All Series A shares have an issue price and preference on
liquidation equal to $1.00 per share. The Series A Preferred Shares accrue
dividends at the rate of 10% per annum during the first two years following
issuance, which dividend is payable in cash and is cumulative. During the third
through fifth year in which the Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, the

Shares automatically convert into shares of our common stock. The conversion
rate is subject to adjustment in certain events, including stock splits and
dividends. Holders of our preferred stock are entitled to one vote for each
share held of record. Holders of the preferred stock vote with holders of the
common stock as one class.

Stock and all 1,000,000 shares are outstanding. Upon liquidation (voluntary or
otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock will receive their prorate share of the total value
of the assets and funds of the Company to be distributed, assuming the

of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to
receive dividends and shall have no voting rights. After June 1, 2006, the
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at $2.00 per
share solely at the Company's option.
Any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may, at any time after
January 3, 2008, at the option of the holder or the Corporation, be converted
into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares
of Common Stock to which a holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
be entitled upon a conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the

the amount of $3,500,000, and (iii) $1,000,000 in convertible preferred stock of
the Company for a total of $5,500,000.
In addition to the negotiated contract price, addendums contained stipulations
that certain assets and liabilities would be retained by the seller, values of
which would be determined pending completion of the December 31, 2005 audit of
the Balance Sheet of See World Satellites, Inc. The audit determined that Mr.
Richard Miller, the prior owner of 100% of the shares of See World, was entitled
to Cash and Accounts Receivable totaling $720,760, net of liabilities which he
was to assume totaling $201,962, for a net additional amount due to him of
$518,798. Mr. Miller elected to leave the net amount due to him from the
contract addendums in the business for use by FTS, Group, Inc. The parties
agreed to treat this as an adjustment to the purchase price to be paid back as a
short term advance from Mr. Miller to FTS Group, Inc.
As required by SFAS No. 141, the Company has recorded the acquisition using the
purchase method of accounting with the purchase price allocated to the acquired
assets and liabilities based on their respective estimated fair values at the
acquisition date. The purchase price of $6,018,798 had been allocated at

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Article VII in our Articles of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify to
the fullest extent not prohibited by law any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any legal proceeding against all expenses
(including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such
proceeding. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the stockholders of
the corporation shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any
limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the corporation
for acts of omissions prior to such repeal or modification.
Article 7.1 of our By-Laws provides that we shall indemnify to the fullest
extent not prohibited by law any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any proceeding (as hereinafter defined) against all
expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with
such proceeding. Under the foregoing provisions of our Articles of Incorporation
and By-Laws, each person who is or was a director or officer shall be
indemnified by us to the full extent permitted or authorized by the General
Corporation Law of Nevada. Under such law, to the extent that such person is
successful on the merits of defense of a suit or proceeding brought against such
person by reason of the fact that such person is a director or officer of FTS
Group, such person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, reasonably incurred in connection with such action. If unsuccessful in
defense of a third-party civil suit or a criminal suit or if such a suit is
settled, such a person shall be indemnified under such law against both (1)
expenses (including attorneys' fees) and (2) judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and with
respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's
conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.

notes with an original discount of 21%. We actually raised $1,820,690 in the

on the closing date assuming the complete conversion of the Notes on the closing
date at the conversion price then in effect. The exercise price of the Class A
Warrants is $0.02868. The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable until the date

the unrestricted public resale of the Warrant Shares for 4 years.
We agreed to issue 50 Class B Warrants for each 100 shares which would be issued

four months after the actual effective date of Registration Statement (as

dated January 5, 2006), or ninety days after the actual effective date of a
Second Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement filed as

We believe such issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act and any regulations promulgated thereunder, relating to
sales by an issuer not involving any public offering.
With respect to the sales of our common stock described above, we relied on the
Section 4(2) and/or 4(6) exemptions from securities registration under the
federal securities laws for transactions not involving any public offering. No
advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the shares. The
shares were sold to sophisticated and/or accredited investors. The securities
were offered for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of resale or
distribution, and the transfer thereof was appropriately restricted by us.
The securities issued in the foregoing transactions were made in reliance upon
an exemption from registration under Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of
the Securities Act. Alternatively, these issuances of securities were undertaken
under Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by
the fact that:
- - the sale was made to a sophisticated or accredited investor, as defined in
Rule 502;
- - we gave the purchaser the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional
information which we possessed or could acquire without unreasonable effort or
expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished;
- - at a reasonable time prior to the sale of securities, we advised the purchaser
of the limitations on resale in the manner contained in Rule 502(d)2;
- - neither we nor any person acting on our behalf sold the securities by any form
of general solicitation or general advertising; and
- - we exercised reasonable care to assure that the purchaser of the securities is
not an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of
1933 in compliance with Rule 502(d).

UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act:
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(ss.230.424(b) of this chapter)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the
Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities,
the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any t of the following communication, the undersigned
small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered
to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business
issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
(ss.230.424 of this chapter)
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on
behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the
undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or
its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business
issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
(e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
and as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
34
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
(g) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
to any purchaser:
(1) If the small business issuer is relying on Rule 430B (ss.230.430B of this
chapter):
(i) Each prospectus filed by the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(3)(ss.230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of
the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part
of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or
(b)(7) (ss.230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a
registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made
pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x)(ss.230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x)
of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by
section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included
in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of
prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract
of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided
in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at
that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date
of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration
statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser
with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or
modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document
immediately prior to such effective date; or
