INTERNET AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.
Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to achieve a fair statement of the Company's consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (File No 000-25147).
 
2.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

There are no adjustments required to be made to net loss for the purpose of computing basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. For the three months ended December 31, 2006, no options were “in the money”, therefore diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to the net loss. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to the net loss. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, options to purchase 248,470 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were not “in the money” as of December 31, 2006. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, options to purchase 574,537 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were not “in the money” as of December 31, 2005. There were no options exercised to purchase shares of common stock during the six months ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
 
3.
Employee Stock Option Plans

On July 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,”(“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
 
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of July 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year June 30, 2007. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). The effect on net loss and loss per share of the Company before and after application of the fair value recognition provision of SFAS 123(R) to stock-based employee compensation for the six months ended December 31, 2006 is as follows:

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

The amortization period for subscriber acquisition costs is 36 months. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, was approximately $67,000 and $135,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, amortization expense for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, 2008 and 2009 is expected to be approximately $270,000, $157,000 and $43,000, respectively.
 
6.
Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company generated a net loss. No provision for income taxes was recorded for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, as the Company reduced the valuation allowance on its net operating losses generated in prior periods. As of December 31, 2006, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets of approximately $12.3 million. Given its limited history of generating net income, the Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-QSB constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements, identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. Our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and other publicly filed reports discuss some important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

Internet America, Inc. (the “Company”) is an Internet service provider (“ISP”) serving approximately 37,000 subscribers in Texas, as of December 31, 2006. A subscriber represents an active, billed service. One customer account may represent multiple subscribers depending on the number of active and billed services for that customer. The Company derives substantially all revenues from services, primarily Internet access services, and related fees, and such revenues represented 100% of our revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.  For the year ended June 30, 2006, Internet access services accounted for 89.5% of total revenue, with the remaining revenues related primarily to wireless reseller revenues. During fiscal 2005 the Company became a wireless equipment reseller which changed the revenue mix. For the six months ended September 30, 2005, Internet access services accounted for 85.9% of total revenue with the remaining revenues related primarily to wireless equipment reseller revenues. The Company discontinued wireless reseller sales in fiscal 2006 due to low gross profit margins.

The Company continues to experience an attrition of dial-up service customers. The loss of these customers is primarily attributable to their moving to broadband connectivity with other service providers. The largest competitors in broadband access are the cable companies and regional Bell operating companies.  We operate in a highly competitive market for each of our service offerings.  The competitive environment impacts the churn rates we experience as well as the number of new customers we are able to add.

The Company’s strategy is to focus on providing wireless Internet connectivity to customers in under-served markets.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we expanded in the suburban and rural markets near San Antonio and Houston, Texas, through acquisitions, and in all three of our major wireless markets we deployed new infrastructure to enable additional growth within markets we presently serve. The Company is pursuing additional growth within markets we presently serve and acquisition opportunities in non-metropolitan markets where competition is less intense and the demand for Internet connectivity may be under-served. In pursuing this strategy, the Company is narrowing its focus to products and developments that contribute directly to its implementation.

The Company’s customer count for wireless Internet services has increased to approximately 3,900 subscribers as of December 31, 2006 from 3,400 subscribers at September 30, 2006. During January 2007, wireless Internet subscribers exceeded 4,000. Management believes that we are poised for additional growth as we have targeted areas where competition is less intense and demand for Internet connectivity may be under-served. Growth of customer count for wireless Internet services should continue to come from organic growth and acquisitions. Strategic acquisitions will allow the Company to more rapidly expand in areas that are pre-determined to be underserved and consistent with our development plans. This growth will help to replace declining revenues due to attrition, and management believes this will allow the Company to stabilize itself and then begin to regain revenue and profits. More rapid growth through acquisitions will provide economies of scale cost savings to the acquired operations, and management believes this will allow for a more rapid return to profits and greater value to our subscriber based business.

Management continues to evaluate overall profitability. During 2006, we reduced telecommunications cost per subscriber by optimizing network capacity and entering into more favorable agreements with telecommunications service providers. The Company also reduced head count in fiscal 2006 through a reduction-in-force (“RIF”) carried out by management in January 2006. Although a certain number of staff has been added since then and we incurred severance costs related to the RIF, the Company still experienced an approximate 13% decrease in total salaries and wages, excluding severance costs of approximately $83,000 in 2006 and $132,000 in 2005. Overall, connectivity and operations costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 33.4% from $1,558,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 to $1,037,000.

Company management believes the initiatives identified above are instrumental to the achievement of our goals, but they may be subject to competitive, regulatory and other events and circumstances that are beyond our control. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any or all of the initiatives, that the achievement or existence of such initiatives will result in profit improvements, or that other factors will not arise that would adversely affect future profits.
 
Statement of Operations

Internet services revenue is derived from dial-up Internet access, including analog and ISDN access, DSL access, dedicated connectivity, wireless access, bulk dial-up access, web hosting services, and value-added services, such as multiple e-mail boxes, personalized e-mail addresses and Fax-2-Email services. In addition to miscellaneous revenue, other revenue includes wireless equipment reseller revenues, which was discontinued in March 2006.

Prior to fiscal 2005 the Company operated primarily out of its corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas. In fiscal 2005, in addition to the corporate office, the Company began operating out of local offices including computer centers in Corsicana, Hillsboro, and Stafford, Texas. In March 2006, the corporate headquarters were moved to Houston, Texas. Operating expenses for the Company includes operating expenses for both the corporate office and the local computer centers.

A brief description of each element of our operating expenses follows:

Connectivity and operations expenses consist primarily of setup costs for new subscribers, telecommunication costs, merchant processing fees and wages of network operations and customer support personnel. Connectivity costs include (i) fees paid to telephone companies for subscribers' dial-up connections to our network; (ii) fees paid to backbone providers for connections from our network to the Internet; and (iii) equipment and tower lease costs for our new wireless networks.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of creative and production costs, costs of media placement, management salaries and call center wages. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative salaries, professional services, rent and other general office and business expenses.
 
Bad debt expense (recoveries) consists primarily of customer accounts that have been deemed uncollectible and will potentially be written off in future periods, net of recoveries. Historically, the expense has been based on the aging of customer accounts, whereby all accounts that are 90 days or older have been provided for as a bad debt expense.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the capital lease term, as appropriate. Data communications equipment, computers, data servers and office equipment are depreciated over three years. We depreciate furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements over five years. Amortization expense consists of the amortization of subscriber acquisition costs.

Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

(1) A subscriber represents an active, billed service. One customer account may represent multiple subscribers depending on the number of active and billed services for that customer.

(2) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a measure of performance. Management has consistently used EBITDA on a historical basis as a measurement of the Company’s current operating cash income.

(3) EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2005 (Continued)

Total revenue. Total revenue decreased by $0.52 million, or 20%, to $2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s subscriber count decreased by 12,000, or 24.5%, to 37,000 as of December 31, 2006 compared to 49,000 as of December 31, 2005. The decrease in subscriber counts is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other providers’ broadband services. Approximately $314,000 of the decrease is related to discontinuance of the wireless equipment reseller business prior to fiscal 2007.

Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $.52 million, or 33.4%, to $1.04 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $1.56 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Approximately $251,000 of the decrease is related to cost of sales on the discontinuance of the wireless equipment reseller business prior to fiscal 2007, which resulted in $0 cost of goods sold for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 compared to $251,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Due to reductions-in-force carried out in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, labor costs decreased by $155,000 for the period. A decrease of approximately $77,500 in connectivity costs was due to the consolidation of internet and telephone connections and circuits to more closely align with demand, as well as the renegotiation of contracts with several of our major telecom vendors. Tower rents, installations costs and wireless CPE (customer premise equipment) costs of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 reflect increases related to growth and totaled approximately $187,000 compared to $145,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
 
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $37,000, or 41.1%, to $53,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to $90,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease relates primarily to reductions in head count and consulting fees. Additionally, the Company realized expense reductions by reducing mass marketing and replacing with local direct marketing campaigns.

General and administrative. General and administrative expense decreased by $94,000, or 11.2%, to $745,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $839,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduction of operating costs and labor costs of wireless field offices.

Provision for bad debt expense. Provision for bad debt expense decreased to $2,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from a bad debt expense of $20,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease is due to reserve for bad debts for the wireless equipment reseller business incurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, the Company continues to be fully reserved for all customer accounts that are at least 90 days old and certain other accounts.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $5,000, or 2.4%, to $207,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, from $212,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease relates to increases in fully depreciated assets still in use. This is offset by an increase in depreciation for fixed asset purchases related to new wireless infrastructure as well as amortization of subscriber acquisition costs.
 
Interest expense, net. For the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded interest expense of $9,000 and interest income of $6,500 compared to interest expense of $24,000 and interest income of $8,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Interest expense relates primarily to interest accrued and/or paid on acquisition debt and interest accrued on the sales tax audit assessment. Interest income relates to interest earned on the Company’s money market cash accounts.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 (Continued)

Total revenue. Total revenue decreased by $1 million, or 20.2%, to $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2006, from $5.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s subscriber count decreased by 12,000, or 24.5%, to 37,000 as of December 31, 2006 compared to 49,000 as of December 31, 2005. The decrease in subscriber counts is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other providers’ broadband services. Approximately $720,000 of the decrease is related to discontinuance of the wireless equipment reseller business prior to fiscal 2007.

Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 34.4%, to $2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2006, from $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in expense relates primarily to the discontinuance of the wireless equipment reseller business as well as reductions in wages and internet and telephone connection expenses. Compared to $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, wireless equipment reseller cost of sales totaled $598,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. Wage expense decreased by approximately $310,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005 primarily as a result of the staff reductions carried out by the Company in the spring of 2005. Connectivity costs decreased by approximately $155,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, primarily as a result of the consolidation of internet and telephone connections and circuits to more closely align with demand.
 
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $69,000, or 42.1%, to $95,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to $164,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease relates primarily to reductions in head count and consulting fees. Additionally, the Company realized expense reductions by reducing mass marketing and replacing with local direct marketing campaigns.

General and administrative. General and administrative expense increased slightly by $37,000, or 2.4%, to $1,573,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, from $1,536,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The Company continues to control cost increases in general and administrative expenses.

Provision for bad debt expense. Provision for bad debt expense decreased to $3,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, from $31,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease is due primarily to the increase in reserve for bad debts for the wireless equipment reseller business during fiscal 2005. As of December 31, 2006, the Company continues to be fully reserved for all customer accounts that are at least 90 days old and certain other accounts.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $16,000, or 3.7%, to $413,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, from $429,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease is due to an increase in the amount of fully depreciated assets still in use, but is offset by an increase in depreciation for fixed asset purchases related to new wireless infrastructure as well as amortization of subscriber acquisition costs.
 
Interest expense, net. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded interest expense of $22,000 and interest income of $13,000. Interest expense relates primarily to interest accrued and/or paid on acquisition debt and other leases and notes payable. Interest income relates to interest earned on the Company’s money market cash accounts. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the interest expense included $23,000 related to interest on our sales tax settlement as well as interest accrued and/or paid on acquisition debt and other leases and notes payable, offset by interest income earned on the money market cash accounts.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations to date primarily through (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) public and private sales of equity securities and (iii) loans from shareholders and third parties.

Cash provided by operating activities is net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, cash provided by operations was $2,000 compared to cash provided by operations of $3,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the net loss plus non-cash items totaled $399,000, which was used primarily to decrease deferred revenue, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Increase in prepaid expenses relates to deferred activation income on wireless installations. Inventory, which primarily includes modems and wireless access radios, decreased in the six months ended December 31, 2006 since most orders were placed prior to June 30, 2006 and there have been less additional inventory requirements. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net income plus non-cash items totaled $298,000 which was used primarily to offset the decrease in deferred revenue. The decrease in deferred revenue from year to year is a result of the decrease in our subscriber count.
 
15


Cash used in investing activities totaled $174,000 and $254,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and consisted of cash paid for acquisitions and fixed asset purchases related to the deployment of new wireless infrastructure.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $91,000 and $188,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and consisted primarily of principal payments on debt and capital leases.

We estimate that cash on hand of $.7 million at December 31, 2006, along with anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months with regard to continuing operations in existing markets. Additional financing may be required to fund acquisitions or expansion into new markets and will likely be sought to increase our expansion into wireless Internet services more rapidly. Continued decreases in revenues and subscriber count may ultimately adversely affect the liquidity of the Company.
 
If additional capital financing arrangements, including public or private sales of debt or equity securities, seller financing or additional borrowings from commercial banks, are insufficient or unavailable, or if we experience shortfalls in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, we will modify our operations and growth strategies to match available funding.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) in effect as of December 31, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Company required to be included in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended December 31, 2006 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
