NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

September 30, 2012

  

NOTE 1     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the unaudited accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements follows:

 

General

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of VelaTel Global Communications, Inc. (“Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (”GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Accordingly, the results from operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes thereto for the period ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 16, 2012.

 

Capital Structure

 

The Company’s capital stock consists of three series of its stock that are authorized: (i) Series A common stock (“Series A Shares,”); (ii) Series B common stock (“Series B Shares”); and (iii) Series A Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”). Series A Shares together with Series B Share are collectively referred to herein as “Common Stock”. Series A Shares are quoted on the OTC Link™ quotation platform of OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “OTCQB:VELA.” Series B Shares do not participate in any declared dividends, have no rights upon liquidation of the Company, and have no conversion rights into Series A Shares. Each Series B Share has the right to cast ten votes for each action on which each Series A Share has a right to vote. The consent of 80% of the holders of issued and outstanding Series B Shares is required in order to sell, assign or transfer any of the Series B Shares. The Company has authorized but has not issued any Preferred Shares. Preferred Shares (if issued) do not participate in dividends, have preferred rights upon liquidation of the Company, and have conversion rights into Series A Shares at a ratio of 100 Series A Shares for each Preferred Share. Each Preferred Share (if issued) has the right to cast 100 votes for each action on which each Series A Share has the right to vote. The par value of Series A Shares, Series B Shares and Preferred Shares (if issued) is $0.001 per share.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On July 10, 2012, the Company’s board of directors (“Board”) confirmed and finalized the terms of a reverse stock split whereby the number of: (i) issued Series A Shares; (ii) authorized Series A Shares; (iii) issued Series B Shares; and (iv) authorized Series B shares would all be reduced by a ratio of 100:1 (“Reverse Stock Split”). The Board had previously approved the Reverse Stock Split by a Unanimous Written Consent of the Board effective March 20, 2012, subject to an approval process through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). FINRA approval having been obtained (subject only to filing a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State) and shareholder approval not being required, the Board approved the filing of the Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State, which occurred on July 18, 2012. The Reverse Stock Split became effective upon confirmation of FINRA approval on July 23, 2012.

Increase in the Number of Authorized Shares of the Company’s Series A and B Common Stock

 

On July 10, 2012, the Board approved an increase in the number of authorized Series A Shares and Series B Shares available for issuance immediately following the Reverse Stock Split by a ratio of 50 for 1, whereby the total number of authorized Series A Shares increased to 1,000,000,000 and the total number of authorized Series B Shares increased to 100,000,000 (“Increase in Authorized Shares”). The Board fixed July 10, 2012, as the record date (“Record Date”) for determining the shareholders entitled to give their written consent to the Increase in Authorized Shares.  On July 10, 2012 and pursuant to section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), the Company received a written consent (“Majority Written Consent”) of shareholders holding 220,738,375 shares of Common Stock, representing 56.8% of the total possible votes outstanding, to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effectuate the Increase in Authorized Shares.  Specifically, holders of 86,920,198 (pre-reverse) Series A Shares (with a power of one vote per share) and 133,818,177 (pre-reverse) Series B Shares (with a power of ten votes per share), equaling 56.8% of the total voting power of all of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, cast votes in favor of the Increase in Authorized Shares. All necessary corporate approvals having been obtained, a Definitive Information Statement was furnished to the Company’s shareholders solely for the purpose of providing advance notice to the Company’s shareholders of the Increase in Authorized Shares, as required by the Exchange Act.  The Definitive Information Statement was mailed to the Company’s shareholders on August 8, 2012. Under Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14c-2 promulgated thereunder, approval of Increase in Authorized Shares became effective 20 days after mailing the Definitive Information Statement. On August 29, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State finalizing the Increase in Authorized Shares.

The Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Condenses Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, contingencies and litigation.  Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC subtopic 605, Revenue Recognition, which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  Determination of criteria (iii) and (iv) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.  Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.  The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.  ASC 605-10 incorporates ASC subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements.  ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.

Revenue arises from sale of local and long distance service access and/or wireless broadband service access where some payments are received before and some payments are received after the service has been rendered.  The Company sells its products separately and in various bundles that contain multiple deliverables.  These revenues include long distance and prepaid telephone cards, prepaid wireless access plans, along with other products and services.  In accordance with ASC 605-25, sales arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting, if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (i) the product has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (ii) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (iii) delivery or performances of any undelivered item is probable and substantially in our control.  The fair value of each separate element is generally determined by prices charged when sold separately.  If there is any discount from the combined fair value of the individual elements, the discount is allocated to the portion of the revenues attributable to the individual elements.  In accordance with ASC 605-25, if fair value of all undelivered elements in an arrangement exists, but fair value does not exist for a delivered element, then revenue is recognized using the residual method.  Under the residual method, the fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee (after allocation of 100 percent of any discount to the delivered item) is recognized as revenue. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Values

 

ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments.  The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, as well as short-term borrowings, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.  Where practicable, the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise, only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

 

Accounting For Bad Debt and Allowances

 

Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable.  Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on due date basis.  Allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $6,500 and $3,163, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

The inventory consists of finished goods ready for resale purposes.  The Company purchases the merchandise on delivered duty paid basis.  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

 

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

Machinery and equipment 10 years
Vehicles 4 years
Furniture and fixtures 10 years
Leasehold improvements  
Constructed assets (towers) 10 years
Computers 5 years

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the term of the lease.

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The carrying value of an item of property, plant and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value.  The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective asset exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company has adopted ASC subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment.  ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows.  Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets would be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.  ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805-10.  The Company assigns to all identifiable assets acquired (including intangible assets), and to all identifiable liabilities assumed, a portion of the cost of the acquired company equal to the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition.  The Company records the excess of the cost of the acquired company over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed, if any, as goodwill.

 

As a result of the acquisition of VelaTel Peru on April 15, 2009, the Company acquired intangible assets in the aggregate amount of $1,132,647.

 

The Company allocated $124,357 to identifiable intangible assets including developed software.  The remaining $1,008,290 was allocated to goodwill.

 

The Company amortized its identifiable intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit.  The estimated useful life of developed software is ten years.  The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or indicate that impairment exists.

 

The Company accounts for and reports acquired goodwill and other intangible assets under ASC subtopic 305-10, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other.  In accordance with ASC 305-10, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired.  Any write-downs will be included in results from operations.

 

The Company’s management performed an evaluation of its goodwill for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at December 31, 2009. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its goodwill exceeded its fair value for the year ended December 31, 2009. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1,008,290, net of tax, or $0.02 per share of the Company’s Series A Shares during the year ended December 31, 2009 to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill to $0.  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

 

Functional Currency

 

A majority of the transactions of the Company’s Peruvian subsidiary are in US dollars; accordingly, this subsidiary’s functional currency is the US dollar. The accounts of the Company’s Zapna subsidiary are maintained in Danish Kroner, and the accounts of the Company’s Herlong subsidiaries are maintained in the Euro. The accounts of these foreign subsidiaries were translated into US dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” According to ASC Topic 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operation items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statements of income.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

 

GAAP requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Translation gains are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs, which are included in selling, administrative and general, are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $10,621 and $1,809, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $25,161 and $5,428, respectively.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company has adopted ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share.  This requires the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per Share information.  Basic earnings per Share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of Shares outstanding.  Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted earnings per Share, because they are anti-dilutive.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables.  The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions.  At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company adopted ASC subtopic 718-10, Compensation.  ASC 718-10 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an employee stock purchase plan based on the estimated fair values.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the ASC subtopic 730-10, Research and Development. Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred.  Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved.  Company sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products and services are expensed in the period incurred.  

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ data to conform to the presentation set forth in this Report.  These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either: (i) a continuous statement of comprehensive income; or (ii) two separate, but consecutive, statements.  The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income.  In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements.  ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test for goodwill impairment.  If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required.  Otherwise, no further testing is required.  The revised standard is effective for the Company for its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

11
 

 

In November 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.  An entity is required to adopt ASU 2011-11 for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The adoption of ASU 2011-11 is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s Condensed Consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued disclosure guidance related to the offsetting of assets and liabilities. The guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for recognizing financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amended guidance is effective for the Company on a retrospective basis commencing in the first quarter of 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired.  If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required.  However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the Fair Value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

NOTE 2     GOING CONCERN MATTERS

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,476,664 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  In addition, the Company had negative working capital of $20,849,055 and a total stockholders’ deficiency of $4,993,804 as of September 30, 2012.

 

In addition, the Company requires substantial additional capital to finance its planned business operations and expects to incur operating losses in future periods due to the expense of deploying the networks and related businesses that are the core of the Company’s businesses.  The Company has not realized material revenue since its commenced doing business in the telecommunications sector, and it is not without doubt that it will be successful in generating revenues in the future.  

 

If the Company is not able to raise substantial additional capital in a timely manner, the Company may lose its rights to participate in one or more of its projects and may be forced to cease operations.

 

To attain profitable operations, management continues to focus its efforts on the deployment and operation of WBA networks and related businesses.  The Company typically contributes its technical expertise in deploying and operating WBA networks, as well as the capital required to deploy the networks, in exchange for its equity interest in each project.  The Company will continue to be dependent on outside capital to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.  Any financing obtained may further dilute or otherwise impair the ownership interest of the current stockholders.  If the Company fails to generate positive cash flows or fails to obtain additional capital when required, the Company could modify, delay or abandon some or all of its business plans.

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4     INVESTMENTS

 

Chinacomm Cayman

 

The Company entered into a Framework Agreement, which was superseded by the Gulfstream Subscription and Shareholders Agreement, whereby the Company, through its subsidiary, Gulfstream Seychelles, obtained an option to acquire up to a 49% equity interest in Chinacomm Cayman for a total purchase price of $196,000,000, of which the Company paid $5,000,000 during 2008.  The Gulfstream Subscription and Shareholders Agreement required the Company to make certain payments to CECT Chinacomm Communications, Co. Ltd. (“Chinacomm”) in accordance with a schedule set forth therein.  Those payments were to be utilized to deploy the Chinacomm Network (defined below).  The Company attempted to raise capital to make the required payments, but was unable to do so within the anticipated period.  However, there were numerous unfulfilled conditions precedent that Chinacomm was required to meet in order to cause Gulfstream Seychelles to pay more than it had during 2008 pursuant to the Gulfstream Subscription and Shareholders Agreement.  Meanwhile, the Company was unable to timely pay the vendors it had employed to continue work on the Chinacomm Network. At the time, the Company owed one vendor alone in excess of $47,000,000. Accordingly, the Company sought assistance from its President, Colin Tay, who was close to the senior management of Chinacomm, in an effort to find a way to keep the vendors working on the Chinacomm Network and provide more time for the Company to fund its acquisition once Chinacomm met its contractual conditions precedent to trigger such funding.

 

Trussnet Capital Partner (HK) Ltd. Transactions Related to Chinacomm Cayman

 

In February 2009, Trussnet Capital Partners (HK) Ltd. (“TCP”), a company wholly owned by the Company’s President, Mr. Tay, proposed to Chinacomm to enter into a substitute Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement upon terms similar to the Gulfstream Subscription and Shareholders Agreement.  Based on Chinacomm’s prior relationship with Mr. Tay and additional benefits TCP was able to offer Chinacomm that the Company was not, Chinacomm entered into a substitute Subscription and Shareholders Agreement and Addendum thereto pursuant to which TCP obtained an option to acquire up to a 49% equity interest in Chinacomm Cayman (“TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum”).  The additional benefits TCP was able to offer included negotiating extended payment terms with subcontractors who were performing services under a contract with Trussnet USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Trussnet Delaware”), to allow those services to continue and banking relationships whereby Chinacomm was able to obtain a $29 million operating loan from Hana Bank it needed as operating and development capital for the Chinacomm Network.  The purchase price for TCP’s 49% equity interest in Chinacomm Cayman was the same as in the Gulfstream Subscription and Shareholders Agreement, but the payment terms were improved and were expressly conditioned upon the renewal of the 3.5 GHz licenses for all 29 cities that were to be part of the Chinacomm Network.  In addition, if TCP was not able to meet the specific payment schedule described in the TCP Subscription Agreement, the TCP Subscription Agreement contained a provision that required the parties to reach a new payment schedule through amicable negotiations.  Like the Gulfstream Subscription and Shareholders Agreement, the TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum contemplate that the amounts paid to subscribe to 49% of the stock of Chinacomm Cayman would be used towards deployment of the Chinacomm Network.

 

Pursuant to the TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum, Chinacomm delivered a stock certificate in TCP’s name for 2,450,000,000 shares of Chinacomm Cayman stock (representing 49% of a total of 5,000,000,000 authorized shares).   Notwithstanding physical custody of the certificate by TCP, the TCP Subscription Agreement provided that the number of Chinacomm Cayman shares corresponding to the unpaid outstanding balance of the subscription price are “pledged” to Chinacomm Cayman and other parties to the TCP Subscription Agreement, and those parties are entitled to withdraw the pledged shares at their discretion if TCP fails to meet the payment schedule set forth in the TCP Subscription Agreement or any new payment schedule to which the parties agree.

 

On March 9, 2009, TCP sold the equity interest it purchased through the TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum to the Company pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, a TCP Note and a Pledge Agreement.

 

The TCP Note was amended and extended on several occasions.  On June 10, 2010, the Company issued 58,867,119 Series A Shares to TCP for the payment of $24,488,721 of interest and extension fees owed to TCP pursuant to the TCP Note, as amended.  These Shares were delivered in satisfaction of the amounts the Company owed to TCP at the time of the Share issuance.  Through September 30, 2011, in addition to issuance of Shares to TCP, the Company paid TCP $11,001,000 towards accrued interest and extension fees.  In addition, the Company paid TCP $2,750,000 towards reduction of the principal balance of the TCP Note.

During 2010, the Company paid $2.75 million into a Hong Kong bank account of Chinacomm Cayman, over which the Company exercised joint control with Chinacomm.  These funds were intended for use towards capitalizing Yunji Communications Technology (China) Co., Ltd. (“Yunji China”), a PRC corporation to be formed.   However, Chinacomm informed the Company that, in order to activate Yunji China, changes had to be made to the Gulfstream Subscription and Shareholders Agreement and the TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum whereby Chinacomm would have complete control of all bank accounts, revenues, capital expenses, operating expenses and the corporate seal (also known under Chinese business practices as a “chop”) of Yunji China.  The Company rejected Chinacomm’s proposal and refused to authorize the release to Yunji China of the funds held in the Chinacomm Cayman bank account.

 

The Company attempted to negotiate with Chinacomm to resolve the impasse, in order to continue its investment in Chinacomm Cayman for the continued deployment and operation of the Chinacomm network in 29 of the largest cities in China (“Chinacomm Network”).  Meanwhile, Chinacomm decided to deploy the Chinacomm Network independent of what the Company had designed for each of the first 12 cities in the Chinacomm Network and without the Company’s approval and over its objection.  Chinacomm unilaterally elected to deploy fully the Chinacomm Network in Beijing and Shanghai and to place less emphasis on deployment of the balance of the first 12 cities designed by the Company that were to become part of the Chinacomm Network.

 

The Company has not billed Chinacomm any amounts for the professional services it has provided to date, directly or through vendors, including Trussnet Delaware and Joinmax Engineering & Consultants (HK) Ltd. (“Joinmax”).  The Company has accounted for the costs of these professional services as research and development.  The Company did not expect to bill or collect these amounts until the Company capitalized Yunji China and Trussnet Gulfstream (Dalian) Co., Ltd (“Trussnet Dalian”), a PRC corporation to be formed, to a level required for them to pay the Company’s invoices for the Company’s professional services rendered to Chinacomm in connection with the Chinacomm Network.  Yunji China was supposed to operate and service the Chinacomm Network, in exchange for a portion of the revenue generated by Chinacomm Cayman in connection with the Chinacomm Network.  Trussnet Dalian was supposed to lease to Yunji China equipment required in the deployment of the Chinacomm Network and provide technical and management services to Yunji China for the procurement, installation and optimization of the equipment utilized in the Chinacomm Network.

 

On April 4, 2011, the Company and TCP entered into an Assignment of Subscription Agreement and Cancellation of Promissory Note (“TCP Assignment and Cancellation Agreement”).  The material terms of the TCP Assignment and Cancellation Agreement are as follows:

 

1.  TCP assigned to the Company, without warranty, all of its right, title and interest in the TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum.  The Company assumed all performance obligations of TCP, if any, under the TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum.  To the extent consent to this assignment is required from any other party to the TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum, TCP will continue to act as agent for the Company, as the Company directs.  In either event, the Company is responsible to insure that the obligations of TCP, as set forth in the TCP Subscription Agreement and Addendum, are met timely;

 

2.  except as set forth in the TCP Assignment and Cancellation Agreement, all existing rights and future obligations of both parties under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the TCP Note and the Pledge Agreement were cancelled and terminated.  Specifically, TCP waived entitlement to all past interest accrued, but unpaid, under the TCP Note and all future interest.  TCP returned the original TCP Note to the Company, marked “CANCELLED;” and

 

3.  the Company and TCP each released the other from any past breach or default, if any, either would be entitled to assert against the other relating to performance or non-performance of any obligation, or the accuracy of any representation or warranty contained in the TCP Assignment and Cancellation Agreement, the TCP Note or the Pledge Agreement.

 

As of December 31, 2011, Chinacomm Cayman was an inactive entity with no operating activities, except for contractual rights in the operation of the Chinacomm Network.  In addition, as of September 30, 2012, the Company evaluated for impairment the fair value of its investment in Chinacomm Cayman and determined that an impairment loss of $7,750,000 should be recognized.

Sino Crossings Joint Venture

 

On November 11, 2010, the Company entered into two related Subscription and Shareholder Agreements (collectively, “Sino Crossings Agreements”).  The first agreement is between three parties: (i) Shanghai Ying Yu Network Technology Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“YYNT”); (ii) Azur Capital SDN BHD, a Brunei company (“Azur”); and (iii) the Company.  The second agreement is between Azur and the Company.  Under the Sino Crossings Agreements, the parties will each contribute certain defined resources in order to upgrade existing installed but unimproved by infrastructure equipment fiber optic cable located in China (“Sino Crossings Network”) with engineering services and equipment that will make it suitable for transmission of data and to charge market rate transport fees to telecommunications operators who use the lit fiber comprising the Sino Crossings Network.  On December 2, 2010, the Company issued 90,000 Series A Shares to Azur. The Company expects to utilize the fiber for the same purposes for its China based projects, but at a discount compared to amounts charged to third party telecommunication providers.  On December 2, 2011 the Company and Azur amended their agreement to require Azur to undertake additional duties. On that same date, the Company issued 150,000 additional Series A Shares to Azur. The Company will record its equity interest in the profit and loss of the operating company to be formed pursuant to the Sino Crossings Agreements once the entity is formed and operations commence.

 

On July 13, 2012, Azur served a Notice of Arbitration against the Company.  The claim was filed with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre and was brought pursuant to Article 3 of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Arbitration Rules for breach of the Sino Crossings Agreements.  The claim alleges that Azur suffered damages and losses due to breaches by the Company in implementing the terms of the Sino Crossings Agreements.  In the claim, Azur demanded acknowledgment of termination and a declaration of rescission of the Sino Crossings Agreements.  Further, it demanded indemnification by the Company for Azur’s claimed damages, including $2,000,000 Azur paid to YYNT.  On August 11, 2012, the Company responded to the allegations of Azur, asserted counterclaims against Azur, and named additional parties the Company requested be joined into the arbitration proceeding.  An arbitrator has been appointed, but there have been no rulings on the Company’s request to join additional parties or on any substantive matters.

 

The GBNC Network

 

On December 13, 2010, the Company and Golden Bridge Network Communications Co., Ltd (“GBNC”) entered into a Subscription and Shareholder Agreement (“GBNC Agreement”).  Under the GBNC Agreement, each party is contractually obligated to contribute certain resources in order to deploy and operate a WBA network in China.  GBNC has WBA licenses in the 3.5GHz and 5.8 GHz bandwidth for potentially nine cities within the Fujian Province in China (“GBNC Network”).  GBNC currently holds WBA licenses in Fuzhou and Xiamen.  The Company will have a 49% ownership in the entities comprising its joint venture with GBNC, with the Company having majority control of each entity’s board of directors. The bylaws of each entity shall provide for joint signature on all bank accounts.  The Company is required to finance all capital and operating expenditures needed to complete the GBNC Network, which includes the deployment of at least 77 base transceiver stations (“BTS”) plus core equipment in Fuzhou and Xiamen.  GBNC has the right to submit applications to obtain additional WBA licenses in at least seven additional cities and/or regions throughout China.  GBNC also holds licenses to act as an internet service provider (“ISP”) in 26 cities and regions in China, and the right to apply for ISP licenses in additional cities and regions nationwide. On December 22, 2010, the Company issued 50,000 Shares valued at $1,010,000.  The value established was based on the closing Share price of the Company’s Shares as of the date the GBNC Agreement was signed.

 

GBNC has indicated it will not honor the terms of the GBNC Agreement. Specifically, GBNC maintains that GBNC should have control over bank accounts and decisions regarding capital expenditures. Based on the duration of the impasse between the Company and GBNC regarding these matters, the Company has determined it is appropriate to fully impair its $1,010,000 investment in the GBNC Agreement.

Acquisition of 75% Equity Interest in Herlong and its Subsidiaries Novi-Net and Montenegro Connect

 

On December 6, 2011, the Company entered into a Business Cooperation Agreement with Herlong Investments, Ltd. (“Herlong”) and others to acquire a 75% equity interest in Herlong and its operating subsidiaries, and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Novi-Net, d.o.o., a Croatia corporation (“Novi-Net”), and Montenegro Connect, d.o.o., a Montenegro corporation (“Montenegro Connect”).  The Republic of Croatia granted Novi-Net a nationwide license to provide WBA and related services.  The license grants the use of 63 MHz of radio frequency spectrum in the 3.5 GHz bandwidth to serve Croatia’s 4.5 million citizens.  Since 2006, Novi-Net has been providing WBA services in five counties in northern Croatia under a regional license.  Novi-Net currently owns a data center, a network core and 11 BTS to provide WBA and related services to approximately 1,500 subscribers.  Montenegro Connect holds a nationwide license in Montenegro, covering 40 MHz in the 3.5 GHz bandwidth.  Montenegro Connect is a “greenfield” operation with two BTS installed for testing purposes and no commercial operations or subscriber base.  In exchange for its 75% equity interest in Herlong, the Company will contribute all capital and operating expenditures necessary to deploy and operate the Novi-Net Network and the Montenegro Network until each of Novi-Net and Montenegro Connect attain a positive cash flow.

Acquisition of 75% Equity Interest in VN Tech

 

VN Tech has expertise, relationships and contracts to become a leading international manufacturer, integrator, and applications developer and patent holder for hydrogen and fuel cell power supply systems (“Fuel Cell Systems”) utilized in WBA networks. On April 1, 2011, the Company, VN Tech, and VN Tech’s sole shareholder Luo Hongye (“Luo”) entered into a Subscription and Shareholder Agreement (“VN Tech Original Agreement”).  Under the VN Tech Original Agreement, the parties were to form a series of entities including a Cayman Island parent company, a Hong Kong wholly owned subsidiary of the Cayman company, and a PRC wholly owned subsidiary of the Hong Kong company that also qualified as a wholly owned foreign enterprise (“WFOE”) under PRC law. The Company would subscribe to 51% and VN Tech PRC to 49% of the equity interest of the entities comprising the joint venture. VN Tech would assign to WFOE its tangible and intangible assets associated with Fuel Cell Systems, for which the Company would pay VN Tech 5 million of its shares of Series A Common Stock.

 

The parties subsequently formed the Hong Kong company contemplated under the VN Tech Original Agreement, VN Tech Investment, Ltd. (HK) (“VN Tech HK”).  The parties are in the process of forming the Cayman Island company under the name VN Tech Investment, Ltd., a Cayman Island corporation (“VN Tech Cayman”).

 

On April 22, 2012, Gulfstream Seychelles and the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Subscription and Stockholder Agreement (“VN Tech A&R Agreement”) with VN Tech and Luo. Under the VN Tech A&R Agreement, the parties deem it no longer necessary to form a WFOE in connection with this transaction. Instead, VN Tech will become the wholly owned subsidiary of VN Tech HK, which in turn will become a wholly owned subsidiary of VN Tech Cayman. Under the VN Tech A&R Agreement, the Company’s equity interest in the entities comprising the joint venture is increased from 51% to 75% and Luo is subscribing to the remaining 25% in the entities directly, instead of through VN Tech.  Also under the VN Tech A&R Agreement, the consideration the Company is paying Luo (instead of VN Tech) is increased from 50,000 to 100,000 Series A shares. The terms of the VN Tech A&R Agreement are otherwise similar, but not identical to, the VN Tech Original Agreement, which the VN Tech A&R Agreement supersedes entirely.

 

17
 

 

The VN Tech A&R Agreement became effective on April 22, 2012, when it was signed by all parties (“VN Tech Effective Date”).  The VN Tech Effective Date also constitutes the “Closing,” as that term is commonly understood in transactions of this nature.  All transfers of stock and other formalities described in the VN Tech A&R Agreement are considered contractual obligations subsequent and not conditions precedent to the rights and obligations of the parties contemplated in the VN Tech A&R Agreement.  On April 22, the Company issued 100,000 Series A shares to Luo pursuant to the VN Tech A&R Agreement.

 

VN Tech recently completed an initial round of test trials commissioned by China’s largest mobile telephone operator, China Mobile Limited. China Mobile Limited has submitted a comprehensive report of the test trial results to key ministries of China’s Central Government. Meanwhile, China Telecom Corporation, China’s largest fixed line telephone operator, has also commissioned VN Tech to construct trial test sites in Beijing on its behalf. China’s Communications Standards Association has designated Luo to head the technical committee that will develop national standards and specifications in China for the use of hydrogen fuel cells in the telecommunication industry. After adoption, these standards will also be submitted to the Telecommunications Standards Sector of the International Telecommunication Union. Once operations commence, the financial statements of VN Tech will be consolidated with those of the Company.

The Company entered into the Convertible Notes dated February 12, 2008 with accredited investors during the year ended December 31, 2008 for the issuance of an aggregate of $35,501,482 of Convertible Notes.  The Convertible Notes accrue interest at 10% per annum, payable at maturity, and were due on December 31, 2008.  The holder of a Convertible Note had the option to convert any unpaid note principal and accrued interest to Shares at a rate of $0.95 per Share.  The convertibility feature of the Convertible Note expired at maturity.  The effective interest rate at the date of inception was 421%.

 

In accordance with ASC subtopic 470-20, “Debt; Debt With Conversion And Other Options,” the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the Convertible Notes.  The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital.  The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $27,060,987 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid-in capital and a discount against the Convertible Notes.  The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized ratably to operations as interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes.

 

Since the Company’s date of inception through September 30, 2012, the Company amortized $39,629,290 as interest expense.  For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, and 2011 the amortization was $0 and $0, respectively.

The Amended Convertible Notes accrue interest at 10% per annum, payable at maturity and were due on December 31, 2009.  The Amended Convertible Note holders had an option to convert any unpaid note principal and accrued interest to Shares at the lesser of: (i) $0.95 per Share; or (b) 80% of the volume weighted average of the closing bid price for the Shares on the OTCBB for the ten-day period prior to the convertible note holder’s election to convert.

On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (“First Note”) with Isaac. In the First Note, the Company may borrow up to $5.0 million pursuant to funding requests from the Company.  For each funding request, Isaac retains 5% of the amount requested (“Holdback”) as a set-up fee and compensation for Isaac’s due diligence.  Each Holdback is added to the principal balance and accrues interest along with the amount disbursed and outstanding from time to time.  Amounts borrowed pursuant to the First Note bear simple interest at the rate of ten percent per annum.  Interest on the unpaid balance of the amounts borrowed accrue monthly, but is not due until the principal balance of the First Note is due.  The principal balance borrowed became due and payable on December 31, 2011.  As of December 31, 2011, the principal and interest owing on the First Note was $6,289,474.

 

Isaac Extension Agreement of First Note, and Second Line of Credit Promissory Note

 

On February 23, 2012, the Company entered into the following two agreements with Isaac: (i) Agreement to Extend and Increase First Line of Credit Loan Agreement and Promissory Note, Cancel Stock Purchase Agreement, and Grant Option in VN Tech Agreement (“Extension Agreement”); and (ii) a Second Line of Credit Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (“Second Note”).

 

20
 

 

In entering into the Extension Agreement, the parties agreed to extend the due date of the First Note to June 30, 2012 and to increase the credit limit under the First Note to reflect the total amount borrowed, namely $6,385,000 disbursed, plus the Holdback fees totaling $336,053, for a total principal balance of $6,721,053.  Interest in the amount of $332,794 had accrued on the principal balance, for a total amount due as of February 23, 2012 of $7,053,847 (“Pre-Extension Total Amount Due”).  In the Extension Agreement, the principal balance of the First Note is increased to $7,425,102 (“Increased Principal Balance”), representing the Pre-Extension Total Amount Due plus an additional 5% Holdback fee of $371,255.  Interest accrues on the Increased Principal Balance at the rate of 10% per annum.

 

The Extension Agreement grants Isaac an option to, at any time, convert all or any portion of the balance of principal and interest due under the First Note to Shares in favor of Isaac or any of its assigns.  The details of the conversion feature are to be agreed when the Company has additional authorized Shares available for issuance (this convertibility feature has been eliminated pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement between the parties dated April 25, 2012).

 

The Extension Agreement also grants Isaac an option to acquire the Company’s 51% joint venture interest in its agreement with VN Tech. The Extension Agreement provides that the price of Isaac’s option is to be determined based on Isaac’s due diligence and a mutually agreed valuation of the VN Tech joint venture.  If Isaac exercises its option to acquire the Company’s 51% interest in VN Tech, the agreed value of that interest will be treated as an offset to the amount otherwise due under the First Note. Isaac’s option to acquire the Company’s interest in VN Tech has been eliminated pursuant the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement between the parties dated April 25, 2012.

 

In the Second Note, the Company promises to pay to the order of Isaac up to the principal sum of $7,368,421, or so much thereof as may be disbursed to, or for, the benefit of the Company by Isaac, in Isaac’s discretion and subject to Isaac’s approval of budgets identifying the Company’s proposed use of each funding request.  For each funding request, Isaac will retain a 5% Holdback as a set-up fee and compensation for Isaac’s due diligence. Each Holdback will be added to the principal balance and accrues interest along with the amount disbursed and outstanding from time to time. The total potential amount to be disbursed, net of the Holdback fees, is $7,000,000.  Amounts borrowed pursuant to the Second Note bear simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  Interest will be calculated based on the principal balance, as may be adjusted from time to time to reflect additional advances and/or partial repayments made on the Second Note.  Interest will accrue, but shall not be due, until the principal balance is due on December 31, 2012.

 

Isaac Amended and Restated Loan Agreement

 

On April 25, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Isaac A&R Loan Amendment”) with Isaac.   The Isaac A&R Loan Amendment supersedes the terms of the Extension Agreement with Isaac described above. Under the Isaac A&R Loan Agreement, the First Note is cancelled and substituted for fourteen promissory notes in the principal amount of $500,000.00 each (“Amended Isaac Note #1 through Amended Isaac Note #14,” respectively), plus one promissory note in the amount of $425,102 (“Amended Isaac Note #15”).  The maturity date of the Amended Isaac Note #1 is April 30, 2012, and the maturity date of each succeeding Amended Isaac Note #2-#15 is the 15th day and the last calendar day of each month in succession after April 30, 2012.  Interest accrues on each Amended Isaac Notes at 10% per annum from February 23, 2012.  The Company may prepay any of the Amended Isaac Notes in whole or in part prior to their maturity date without penalty.  

 

The A&R Loan Agreement confirms the cancellation of the previous stock purchase agreements between the Company and Isaac, as amended, remain cancelled.  All other terms of the Extension Agreement that are not consistent with the Isaac A&R Loan Agreement are of no further force and effect.  The A&R Loan Agreement recites that it has no effect on the Second Note also entered into between the Company and Isaac on February 23, 2012.

 

On April 27, 2012, the Company issued 336,932 Shares in settlement of Note #1, consisting of a pay-off of $500,000 and accrued interest of $8,767.

 

On June 13, 2012, the Company issued to Isaac 606,127 Shares in settlement of Note #2, consisting of a pay-off of $500,000 and accrued interest of $15,205.

The disbursement amount of the McEwen Note is up to $1,000,000. McEwen will retain from each disbursement a 5% Holdback as a set-up fee and compensation for McEwen’s due diligence. The difference between the disbursement amount and the principal amount represents the 5% Holdback. The maturity date of the McEwen Note is April 25, 2013. The Company may prepay the McEwen Note in whole or in part prior to its maturity date without penalty. The McEwen Note bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at 10% per annum.

The Second Note with Isaac provides that the Company and Isaac agree to add a conversion feature granting Isaac an option to convert all or a portion of the balance of the principal and interest due under the Second Note with Isaac to Shares. The details of the conversion feature will be agreed to between the parties when the Company has additional authorized Shares available for issuance. Upon such amendment or substitution of the Second Note with Isaac, the Company agreed to amend or substitute the Morrell Note with a promissory note containing identical conversion features to the Second Note with Isaac.

 

Line of Credit Promissory Note with Weal Group, Inc.

(“Weal”) in the principal amount of $1,052,632 (“Weal Note”).  The disbursement amount of the Weal Note is $1,000,000,000.  Weal retains a 5% Holdback fee, as a set-up fee and compensation for Weal’s due diligence.  The difference between the disbursement amount and the principal amount represents the Holdback fee.  The maturity date of the Weal Note is March 5, 2013.  The Company has the right to prepay the Weal Note in whole or in part prior to its maturity date without penalty.  The Weal Note bears simple interest on its principal amount at 10% per annum.  

 

The Weal Note provides a conversion feature granting an option to convert all or a portion of the balance of principal and interest due under the Weal Note to Shares.  The details of the conversion feature will be agreed to between the parties to the Weal Note when the Company has additional authorized Shares available for issuance and when Isaac and the Company have agreed to a conversion feature as to the Second Note with Isaac.  Weal will have the same option to convert that Isaac will have when it is agreed to between the Company and Isaac with respect to the Second Note with Isaac.  Upon that agreement, the parties to the Weal Note will enter into an amendment to reflect the agreed upon conversion feature.

 

NOTE 9     NOTES PAYABLE, OTHER

 

During the year ended December 31, 2009, three judgments were entered against the Company relating to certain Convertible Notes in default.  The judgments are accruing interest at rates between 3.6% and 10% per annum.  Accordingly, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes, accrued interest and legal fees on the judgments are recorded at $882,858 and $768,875 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The principal balance of the three judgments totaled $829,893 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

NOTE 10     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company's derivative financial instruments consisted of embedded derivatives related to the Amended Convertible Notes.  The embedded derivatives included certain conversion features.  The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record the derivatives at their fair values as of the inception date of the Amended and Restated Convertible Note Purchase Agreements (estimated at $821,946) and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date.  If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge.  If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.  At September 30, 2012, the conversion-related derivatives were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0-% annual volatility of 206% and risk free interest rate of 0.5% and recorded non-operating gain of $14,714 representing the change in fair value from December 31, 2011.  The derivatives were classified as short-term liabilities.  The derivative liability at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $206,200 and $220,914, respectively.

2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

 

On May 10, 2011, the Company adopted the "China Tel Group, Inc. 2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan" ("2011 SOP").  The Company did so pursuant to a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors and pursuant to a majority written consent of the shareholders of the Company’s Common Stock.  It was implemented pursuant to a Definitive Information Statement filed with the SEC and mailed to the shareholders of the Company.  The material terms of the 2011 SOP are as follows:

 

1.  The 2011 SOP is to be administered by the Company's Board of Directors or a committee of the Board, including a committee consisting of two or more non-employee directors to the extent required under applicable laws or rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's Shares are listed (any administrator, “the Committee");

 

2.  An award under the 2011 SOP may consist of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards, performance stock awards, or stock appreciation rights, with the amount and type of any award at the discretion of the Committee;

 

3.  Eligible recipients under the 2011 SOP are all employees, officers, directors, consultants or advisors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

 

4.  The maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the 2011 SOP is 750,000, no more than 300,000 of which may be awarded other than as options or stock appreciation rights, and no more than 500,000 of which may be awarded to any one participant in any one taxable year of the Company.  Shares issued pursuant to an award reduce the maximum Shares remaining available for issuance under the 2011 SOP; however, Shares that are subject to any award that subsequently lapses, expires or is forfeited automatically become available for re-issuance.  In the event of any reorganization, merger, stock dividend, or stock split, the Committee may adjust the number or kind of securities available for issuance or payment under the 2011 SOP to avoid dilution or enlargement of the rights of participants under any prior award;

 

5.  The exercise price of any stock option must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant (110% with respect to an incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company).  Vesting and duration of any option is at the Committee's discretion up to a maximum of 10 years duration (5 years in the case of an incentive option to a participant with more than 10% voting power as described above).  Payment of the purchase price upon exercise of any option is to be in cash, except the Committee may accept payment through a broker exercise notice, a net share payment, or other any other form of payment acceptable to the Committee;

 

6.  Upon a participant's separation from employment or other service with the Company or subsidiary, certain unvested or unexercised rights with respect to prior awards outstanding under the Plan will terminate immediately or within three months following such separation, depending upon the type of award and the reason for separation; and

 

7.  The 2011 SOP is non-exclusive and does not limit the power or authority of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) to adopt, modify or terminate the 2011 SOP or such additional compensation arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable.  The 2011 SOP supersedes and replaces entirely the Company's 2008 SOP.  The 2011 SOP terminates by its terms on December 31, 2020, unless earlier terminated by action of the Board, provided that awards outstanding upon termination may continue to be exercised, or to become free of restrictions, according to their terms.

 

On July 15, 2011, the Company issued 375,000 options to purchase Shares at an exercise price of $13.00 per Share.  The options were issued to eligible recipients under the 2011 SOP.  All options were fully vested upon issuance and constitute non-statutory options under the terms of the 2011 SOP.

The Chinacomm Litigation

 

On November 18, 2011, the Company, along with TCP (“Plaintiffs”), commenced litigation against Chinacomm Limited, Thrive Century International Limited, Newtop Holdings Limited, Smart Channel Development Limited, Mong Sin, Qiu Ping, Yuan Yi, Chinacomm and CECT Chinacomm Shanghai Co. Ltd. (“Defendants”) in The High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance, Action No. 1978 of 2011 (“Chinacomm Litigation”).

 

The Chinacomm Litigation arises out of the breach of numerous agreements between the Plaintiffs and some of the Defendants, including, but not limited to, the Framework Agreement and Subscription and Shareholders Agreements, related to the joint venture between the parties to those agreements for the deployment of the Chinacomm Network. In addition, the Chinacomm Litigation arises out of the deceitful representations by certain of the Defendants in connection with the issuance of licenses by applicable regulatory agencies in the PRC for the operation of the Chinacomm Network. Finally, the Litigation involves the unauthorized removal of Colin Tay as an authorized signatory to a joint bank account Chinacomm Cayman has with Standard Chartered Bank (HK) Limited “(Standard Chartered”), one of three Standard Chartered bank accounts in the name of Chinacomm Cayman (“the Standard Chartered Accounts”) and into which the Plaintiffs deposited $4,749,599. The Chinacomm Litigation seeks injunctive relief, compensatory damages of: (i) loss of profits; (ii) restitution; (iii) reinstatement of any funds taken from the Standard Chartered Accounts; (iv) an accounting of any funds taken from the Standard Chartered Accounts; (v) damages for the amounts the Company spent on: (a) a Request for Proposal; (b) the development of a WBA Deployment Guide Book which includes the specifications for the design and market for each of the 12 cities comprising Phase 1 of the Chinacomm Network, equipment testing and procurement, deployment, office planning and staffing; (c) site acquisition to be utilized in connection with the 12 Phase 1 cities; (d) radio frequency engineering; (e) the architectural and engineering work for each of the 12 Phase 1 cities; and (v) court costs, and further and other relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

 

28
 

 

On November 18, 2011, the High Court issued an ex parte order granting the Plaintiffs’ application for injunctive relief, ordering that Chinacomm Limited, Thrive Century International Limited, Newtop Holdings Limited, Qiu Ping and Yuan Yi be restrained until further order of the High Court from: (i) dealing in the Standard Chartered Accounts; (ii) incurring any liability, creating charges, mortgages, encumbrances or liens to the detriment of Chinacomm Cayman; (iii) transferring or changing the existing shareholdings or proceeding with deregistration or dissolution of Chinacomm Cayman; and (iv) disposing of any fixed or current assets of Chinacomm Cayman. In addition, the High Court ordered Qiu Ping, the President of Chinacomm and CECT Chinacomm Shanghai Co. Ltd., and Yuan Yi, the Chairman of the board of directors of these two companies, from disposing of or otherwise dealing with these companies’ assets locally or worldwide for purposes of the orders in the amount of $4,749,599. In addition, the High Court ordered Chinacomm, Qiu Ping and Yuan Yi to disclose all relevant information related to the Standard Chartered Accounts within seven days of the aforementioned orders (collectively, the orders referred to herein as “Injunction Orders”). The Injunction Orders were to remain in effect until November 25, 2011. On November 25, 2011, the Injunction Orders were continued by the High Court until further order of the High Court.

 

On April 11, 2012, the High Court rejected the Defendants’ application for withdrawing a sum HK$100,000 from the Standard Chartered Accounts for their legal costs and continued the Injunction Order in effect pending further order of the High Court.

 

In June, 2012, the Plaintiffs discovered that a sum of $4.5 million of the deposited funds in the Standard Chartered Accounts had been transferred by Qiu Ping of Chinacomm Cayman into a personal bank account with the DBS Bank (HK) Limited of another board member of Chinacomm, Feng Xiao Ming. The Plaintiffs joined Feng Xiao Ming as a Defendant and obtained worldwide injunction against him up to the limit of $4.5 million.

 

On July 19, 2012, there was a hearing to determine whether the Injunction Orders should remain in place pending the outcome of the litigation, a motion having been filed by the Defendants requesting the Injunction Orders be dissolved. Following oral arguments the High Court took the matter under submission.

 

On October 26, 2012 the High Court issued its ruling on the Defendant’s motion to dissolve the Injunction Order. The High Court dismissed the Defendants’ application to discharge the Injunction Orders. In addition, the Plaintiffs’ request for continuation of the Injunction Orders was granted. Since the High Court found in favor of the Plaintiffs and against the Defendants, the High Court ordered the Defendants to pay the Plaintiffs the costs associated with the injunction proceedings immediately.

 

Among other findings and conclusions by the High Court are the following: (i) Piu Ping’s explanation as to why he withdrew the funds from the Standard Charter Bank was “incredible,” particularly after the Injunction Orders had been served on him a day before he withdrew $190,000 from the Bank; (ii) there had been shameless efforts by Qiu Ping’s camp to remove the $4.7 million out of the reach of the Plaintiffs and to conceal the true picture of what the Defendants were trying to accomplish; (iii) dissipation of the funds in questions was not only a risk, but a fact in the present case; (iv) so far, Qiu Ping and others have not made full and frank disclosures of the money trails and the particulars of the transfer of the funds in question; (v) Qui Ping and others have still failed, as ordered by the High Court, to disclose their assets and bank accounts outside Hong Kong which might shed light on the disposal of the $4.7 million; (vi) that the Defendant’s arguments why they unilaterally changed the “dual signature” requirement over the $4.7 million deposited in the Standard Chartered Bank was “incredible” in light of the objective facts and that Colin Tay’s version of the “double signature arrangement” to be more probable than Qui Ping’s; and (vii) the Plaintiffs were not required to continue funding the purchase price of the 49% in Chinacomm Cayman until Chinacomm had obtained the telecommunications licenses for the 29 cities that make up the Chinacomm Network, which it never did.

 

On November 2, 2012, the High Court denied the Defendant’s petition to have the Plaintiffs deposit funds with the High Court to secure their costs of defense.

 

Joinmax Professional Services Agreement

 

On April 10, 2009, the Company and Joinmax Engineering & Consultants (HK) Ltd. (“Joinmax”) entered into an Agreement for Professional Services (“the Joinmax Professional Services Agreement”).  The professional services provided to the Company consisted of: (i) architectural and engineering services; (ii) project management services; (iii) site acquisition services; (iv) deployment supervision services; (v) general administrative services; and (vi) any other professional services the Company deems necessary.  The Company is obligated to pay Joinmax for the professional services it provides to the Company at Joinmax’ standard hourly rates and/or based upon a fixed fee for specific professional services.  The Company has the option to pay any Joinmax invoice by tendering Shares in lieu of a cash payment for professional services rendered to the Company.  The Shares are to be paid at a price equal to the lesser of: (i) $0.95 or (ii) 80% of the volume weighted average of the closing price of the Shares on the OTCCB for the 30 day period prior to each payment due date of an invoice.

On August 5, 2010, the Company’s 95% subsidiary, VelaTel Peru, entered into contracts with ZTE and ZTE Peru for all equipment and services projected to be required for deployment and operation of the VelaTel Peru Network.  The total value of the contracts is up to $41,057,659 for equipment and $6,941,960 for services.  VelaTel Peru also issued purchase orders pursuant to the contracts for the equipment and services projected as necessary to complete deployment of Phase 1 of the VelaTel Peru Network.  This will provide geographic coverage of WBA in the seven cities where VelaTel Peru currently holds licenses.  The total of the first purchase orders is approximately $7.0 million for infrastructure equipment, for terminal equipment for resale to VelaTel Peru’s subscribers and for engineering and other services, including network design and optimization, equipment installation, training of VelaTel Peru personnel, network operation management for two years, and equipment warranty and spare parts for two years.  Payment terms include 85% vendor financing to be provided by ZTE for infrastructure equipment covered under the first equipment purchase order, payable over two and one-half years, with one year grace period commencing from the first bill of lading date in three equal semi-annual installments, including interest at the six-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) rate plus 2.5% per annum.  Payment terms for subsequent infrastructure equipment purchase orders are 85% bank financing to be provided by commercial lenders in China (to be facilitated by ZTE), payable over six years with a two year grace period, with interest rate and other up-front fees to be negotiated and subject to bank underwriting requirements.  ZTE will issue VelaTel Peru a $3 million payment voucher towards network expansion which VelaTel Peru can apply against up to 20% of the value of future purchase orders issued within three years of the date of the equipment contract.  The duration of the contracts is up to seven years, during which ZTE will honor initial unit pricing.  The contracts are subject to termination under certain commercial circumstances, including VelaTel Peru’s right to terminate at any time except as to purchase orders already issued, if VelaTel Peru determines the quantities already delivered and installed are adequate based on existing and projected subscriber revenue and taking into account the geographic and population coverage of the WBA licenses VelaTel Peru is able to secure.  On December 22, 2010, the Company paid $686,763 as the down payment and other amounts required for ZTE to begin manufacture of the first purchase orders for equipment and services. All equipment covered by the first purchase orders has been delivered and installed (except certain equipment for which VelaTel Peru has not obtained required building permits) and the VelaTel Peru Network has been launched and is in operation.

VeratNet Network

 

On December 19, 2011, the Company entered into a Standby Business Cooperation Agreement (“Standby BCA”) with 7L and others to acquire a controlling interest in Kerseyco Trading Limited (“Kerseyco”), a Cyprus corporation, and VeraNet, d.o.o. (“VeraNet”), a wholly owned Serbia corporation. VeratNet is one of the leading telecommunications operators and internet service providers in Serbia, offering a full range of telecommunication services, including ADSL broadband service nationwide and WBA services in three cities where it, at the time, held radio frequency licenses.

 

On August 16, 2012, the Company, Kerseyco, 7L and the other shareholders of Kerseyco entered into an agreement terminating the rights and obligations of all parties under the Standby BCA for the Company’s acquisition of Kerseyco. On July 10, 2012, Serbia’s Republic Agency for Electronic Communications (“RATEL”) denied the application of VeratNet to replace equipment on any of VeratNet’s eleven existing transmission sites. RATEL had previously denied VeratNet’s application to expand its network on fifteen additional transmission sites. Although RATEL justified its decisions on the basis that it is currently changing the law whereby VeratNet and other operators will be entitled to participate in a spectrum tender process by which VeratNet may be awarded a national WBA license in exchange for its existing regional WBA license, there has been no progress in this process during the time the Standby BCA has been in effect. The parties concluded that the essential purpose of the Standby BCA had been frustrated through no fault of any of the parties.

 

Independent Contractor Agreements

 

Effective January 16, 2012, all employees of the Company, with the exception of Colin Tay, commenced providing consulting services to the Company pursuant to their respective Independent Contractor Agreements.  From January 1, 2012 until January 16, 2012, they were providing services to the Company as employees.

 

Equipment Contracts for Montenegro Connect and Novi-Net WBA Networks

 

On May 10, 2012, the Company entered into three related contracts and three purchase orders with ZTE for the supply of infrastructure equipment and software for the Company’s WBA projects in Croatia and Montenegro. The aggregate price of the goods covered by the three contracts and the purchase order associated with each contract is $7,001,870.10. The components of each purchase order are described as follows:

 

Equipment Contract and Purchase Order for Montenegro Connect. Total contract price $820,304.29 for 25 BTS, including their back up power supply and installation materials, 32 microwave radios and antennae, and data center core equipment including back up power supply, gateway equipment, servers, routers, switches and racks.

 

Equipment Contract and Purchase Order for Novi-Net. Total contract price $1,280,256.81 for 50 BTS, including their back up power supply and installation materials, nine microwave radios and antennae, and data center core equipment including back up power supply, gateway equipment, servers, routers, switches and racks.

 

Software Contract and Purchase Order for Herlong. The total contract price is $4,901,309.00 for all software associated with the equipment described above, including access gateways, lawful interception gateways, elements management, network management systems, operations maintenance, universal subscriber databases, switching and router software, and mobile broadband wireless BTS software systems.

 

Each of Montenegro Connect, Novi-Net and Herlong are contracting parties to one contract and its associated purchase order for purposes of delivery of goods and allocation of value on the balance sheets of the Company’s subsidiaries. Herlong will license the software it has contracted to purchase to Montenegro Connect and Novi-Net. The Company is a contracting party to all contracts and purchase orders for purposes of guaranteed payment of the purchase price. The Company had previously paid $1 million as a deposit to ZTE that was applied against the aggregate down payment for all contracts, and has since paid an additional $500,000 down payment pursuant to the transaction with Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. described immediately below. Each installment of down payment has been allocated pro rata in relation to the total contract price for each contract. The contract terms common to all three contracts and all three purchase orders are as follows: (i) all equipment and software includes a one-year warranty; (ii) the delivery terms are “FCA Hong Kong,” under which term, the Company is responsible for payment of shipping and other costs of transport to final destination, customs, duty and value added tax; (iii) “FCA Hong Kong,” under which terms, the purchase price, net of down payment described above, is seller financed by ZTE for 2.5 years, with a one-year grace period commencing on the bill of lading date for each purchase order. The principal amount financed is payable in three equal semi-annual installments, with the first installment due 180 days after expiration of the grace period. Interest accrues on the unpaid balance at an interest rate equal to the 6-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.5%. Each installment will include principal repayment plus the interest accrued. ZTE has a mortgage on 100% of the goods covered under each contract, and each contract provides for protection of intellectual property and other confidential information, and events, circumstances or limitations describing the rights of either party to delay performance, assign rights, terminate, or enforce remedies through arbitration under each contract, all upon terms the Company believes to be standard in commercial contracts of a similar nature.

Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. Financing of the Company

 

On July 5, 2012, the Company issued 1,170,000 Series A Shares (“Initial Issuance”) to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”). The Initial Issuance was pursuant to an Order for Approval of Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (“Order”) between the Company and Ironridge, in settlement of $1,367,693 of accounts payable of the Company which Ironridge had purchased from certain creditors of the Company (“Assigned Accounts”), in an amount equal to the Assigned Accounts plus fees and costs. The Assigned Accounts relate to: (i) the remaining down payment for infrastructure equipment and software purchased from ZTE for expansion of its Croatia WBA network and deployment of the Montenegro Connect WBA network; (ii) the cost of shipping, insurance and other transport logistics services to deliver the equipment and software described above from its place of manufacture in China to its ultimate destinations; (iii) the proof of funds deposit required as registered capital for formation of a PRC operating company pursuant to the exclusive services contract between the Company and NGSN; and (iv) amounts previously financed for consumer terminals delivered to VelaTel Peru as inventory for resale to customers.

 

The Order was entered on July 3, 2012 by the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central District. In addition to the Initial Issuance, the Order also provides for an adjustment in the total number of Series A Shares which may be issuable to Ironridge, based on a calculation period for the transaction defined as that number of consecutive trading days following the date on which the Initial Shares have been issued, received in Ironridge’s account in electronic form and fully cleared for trading (“Issuance Date”) required for the aggregate trading volume of the Series A Shares, as reported by Bloomberg LP, to exceed $6.5 million (“Calculation Period”). Pursuant to the Order, Ironridge will receive an aggregate of: (v) 1,000,000 Series A Shares, plus that number of Shares (the "Final Amount") with an aggregate value equal to (vi) the sum of the Claim Amount plus a 6% agent fee and plus Ironridge’s reasonable attorney fees and expenses (less $10,000 previously paid); and (vii) divided by 80% of the following: the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Shares during the Calculation Period, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five of each consecutive twenty trading days during the Calculation Period (any increment with fewer than twenty trading days will have the days added to the final increment). The Order further provides that if, at any time during the Calculation Period, the total Series A Shares previously issued to Ironridge are less than any reasonably possible Final Amount, or a daily VWAP is below 80% of the closing price on the day before the Issuance Date, Ironridge will have the right to request (subject to the limitation below), and the Company will, upon Ironridge’s request, reserve and issue additional Series A Shares (each, an "Additional Issuance"), subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation specified in the Order. At the end of the Calculation Period: (viii) if the sum of the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuance is less than the Final Amount, the Company shall issue additional Series A Shares to Ironridge, up to the Final Amount; and (ix) if the sum of the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuance is greater than the Final Amount, Ironridge shall promptly return any remaining Series A Shares to the Company and its transfer agent for cancellation.

 

In connection with the transaction, Ironridge represented that it does not hold any short position in the Series A Shares and warranted that it would not to engage in or affect, directly or indirectly, any short sale of the Shares.

 

On September 13, 2012, the Company issued the 2,225,000 additional Series A Shares to Ironridge. Each issuance to Ironridge is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof, as an issuance of securities in exchange for bona fide outstanding claims, where the terms and conditions of such issuance are approved by a court after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions.

 

Ironridge has paid the Company’s creditors from whom it received assignments of their accounts receivables against the Company the following amounts: (i) $300,000 on or about August 13, 2012 (with an additional $200,000 payable on or about October 13, 2012 but not yet paid) to ZTE for the Croatia and Montenegro equipment order described above; (ii) $105,128 on or about November 7, 2012 to Joinmax for shipping logistics services associated with the ZTE equipment order ; (iii) $350,000 on or about August 13, 2012 and $75,000 on or about September 13, 2012 (with an additional $75,000 payable on or about October 13, 2012 but not yet paid) for proof of funds deposit as registered capital for NGSN project’s PRC operating company; and (iv) two installments of $87,521.67 each on or about August 2, 2012 and September 13, 2012 to Success Action Limited for consumer terminal inventory previously financed and delivered to VelaTel Peru.

 

NOTE 17     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10 on January 1, 2008.  ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.  ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

33
 

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.  In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value, because of their short-term maturity.

 

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consisted of the following items as of September 30, 2012:

Total  
Derivative Liability   $     $     $ 206,200     $ 206,200  

 

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value:

 

Beginning balance as of December 31, 2011  $220,914 
Change in value of derivative liability during 2012   (14,714)
Ending balance as of September 30, 2012  $206,200 

 

The Company's derivative liability was valued using pricing models, and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments.  Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices.  Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs.  These financial liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and, as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment.  Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  The change in fair value of the derivative liability is included as a component of other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss.

 

NOTE 18     NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

The Company accounts for net loss per Share in accordance with ASC subtopic 260-10, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS.

 

Basic net loss per Share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock outstanding during each period.  It excludes the dilutive effects of potentially issuable Shares, such as those related to Convertible Notes.  Diluted net loss per Share is calculated by including potentially dilutive Share issuances in the denominator.  However, diluted net loss per Share for the period from September 30, 2011 through September 30, 2012 does not reflect the effects of Shares potentially issuable upon conversion of Convertible Notes and outstanding warrants.  These potentially issuable Shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the Company’s net loss per Share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since April 8, 2008, we have utilized approximately $86.7 million for research and development, sales, general and administrative expenses, our investment in Chinacomm Cayman Limited, including extension fees paid to TCP advances on a failed investment, commissions paid on our Convertible Note Purchase Agreements dated February 12, 2008 (“Convertible Note”) and our Amended and Restated Convertible Note Purchase Agreements dated November 17, 2011 (“Amended Convertible Note”) and deposit for property, plant and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities consist of net cash proceeds from the issuance of convertible and other notes, common stock subscription and advances from shareholders.  Our Convertible Notes matured on December 31, 2008, unless they were extended by signing an Amended Convertible Note.  In that case, the due date is 90 days from the date we receive a notice of redemption from the convertible note holder. Both the Convertible Notes and the Amended Convertible Notes have an interest rate of 10% per annum.

 

Our liquidity needs consist of our working capital requirements, indebtedness payments, research and development expenditure funding, and general and administrative expenses.  Our known liquidity demands include the following categories and amounts as of September 30, 2012: (i) litigation installment payments of $829,893 (this amount can also be paid with shares of our Shares at our option ); (ii) notes payable to related parties of $1,140,222; (iii) notes payable of $11,183,216; (iv) Convertible Notes and Amended Convertible Notes of $298,923; (v) advances from officers of $151,260; (vi) accounts payable and accrued expenses of $12,909,510; and sales, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.1 million per month for San Diego, Taiwan, Peru, Denmark, Cyprus, Croatia and Montenegro operations (additional future SG&A for joint venture projects in China and elsewhere throughout the world cannot currently be estimated, as those projects have not commenced active operations).

 

Historically, we have financed our operations through the sale of equity and convertible debt, as well as borrowings from related parties and Isaac Organization, Inc. (“Isaac”).

 

Since our inception until September 30, 2012, we have incurred accumulated losses of approximately $263.1 million.  As of September 30, 2012, we had cash of $280,032 and liabilities of approximately $26.7 million, of which $26.6 million are deemed to be current liabilities.  We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future.  Our independent accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report, dated April 16, 2012, for the period ended December 31, 2011.  In order to continue to operate our business, we will need to raise substantial amounts of additional capital.

 

Our equity capital consists of Series A Shares, Series B Shares, preferred stock, Convertible Notes and Amended Convertible Notes, each of which is discussed in further detail below.

 

Effective August 29, 2012, we increased our (post-reverse) authorized Series A Shares from 200 million to 1 billion by filing a Certificate of Amendment of our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State.  As of September 30, 2012, we had issued and outstanding 44,517,655 Series A Shares. The total number of Series A Shares issued and outstanding as of the filing date of this Report is 77,046,807 (post-reverse split).

 

40
 

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had authorized the issuance of up to 100,000,000 Series B Shares, of which 10,000,000 were issued and outstanding.  Each share of our Series B Common Stock has the right to cast ten votes for each action on which our shareholders have a right to vote.  The consent of 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Series B Share shareholders is required in order to sell, assign or transfer any of the shares of our Series B Shares.  The Series B Shares do not participate with any declared dividends. The Series B Shares are redeemable on May 23, 2023 at par value of $0.001 per share.  

 

George Alvarez, our Chief Executive Officer, holds a proxy for 669,092 Series B Shares.  Colin Tay, our President, owns 8,669,091 Series B Shares; Kenneth L. Waggoner, our Executive Vice President Legal, General Counsel and Secretary, owns 220,605 Series B Shares; Carlos Trujillo, our Chief Financial Officer, owns 220,606 Series A Shares; and Kenneth Hobbs, our Vice-President of Mergers & Acquisitions, owns 220,606 Series B Shares. Due to the limitations on transfer of our Series B Shares, we do not consider the issuance of Series B Common Stock to be a viable source for funding our operations.

 

In addition, we have authorized the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with rights and preferences to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.  We have not issued any preferred stock.

 

As of September 30, 2012, we have raised approximately $28.5 million related to our Convertible Notes and our Amended Convertible Notes.  These notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are all either past due or have been converted.  As of September 30, 2012, the outstanding balance of principal and interest on unpaid Convertible Notes and Amended Convertible Notes was approximately $0.3 million.  The proceeds from our Convertible Notes and Amended Convertible Notes helped fund our operations during 2008 and 2009.  However, interest accruing and settlement of litigation associated with our Convertible Notes contributed to our liquidity needs for the period ended September 30, 2012 and is expected to continue to do so in the future.  We have no present plans to issue further convertible notes as a means of funding our operations.  However, we are exploring other alternatives to raising the needed capital to fund our ongoing projects and those we have entered into as of the date of this Report.

 

As of September 30, 2012, we owed approximately $1.1 million as a result of borrowings from related parties.  We have sometimes relied on borrowings from related parties as a means of financing our operations, but only when other capital resources were not readily available.  We have no present plans to rely on further borrowings from related parties as a means of financing our operations.

 

During 2010, we negotiated equipment vendor financing which, if continued in the future, we expect will reduce our short term need for capital from the sources described above as a percentage of our total capital needs.  However, no assurances can be given that we will continue to obtain equipment financing on the same terms as secured during 2010.  Repayment of such equipment financing will increase our liquidity demands in the future.

 

The following table presents a summary of our sources and uses of cash for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

 

   Nine-Month   Nine-Month 
   Period Ending   Period Ending
