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

1.
Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to achieve a fair presentation of Internet America, Inc.’s (“the Company’s”) consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC Accession No. 0001144204-09-050404 ).

2.
Liquidity
 
The Company is subject to risks including the presence of recurring losses and negative cash flow, among others. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on continuing to reverse the trend of declining revenues and/or expense reductions to provide financing to support its operations and for any capital expenditures. If efforts to increase operating profits do not continue to be successful or other negative factors arise, this could adversely affect future profits and the Company’s ability to achieve intended business objectives.

3.
Basic and Diluted Net Earnings Per 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 nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.  For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to the net loss. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, options to purchase 569,767 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were not ‘in the money” as of March 31, 2010. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, options to purchase 746,639 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were not “in the money” as of  March 31, 2009. There were no options exercised to purchase shares of common stock during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

4.
Use of Estimates

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

5.
Goodwill, net and Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on goodwill and other intangibles, the Company performs an impairment test annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or when events and circumstances indicate goodwill might be permanently impaired. Accordingly, during the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $1,120,000 as impairment of goodwill related to potential reduction in future cash flows from the acquisitions of NeoSoft and PDQ.Net. The Company concluded that no impairment of goodwill occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

The Company allocates the purchase price for acquisitions to acquired subscriber bases and goodwill based on fair value at the time of acquisition.  Subscriber acquisition costs, net of amortization, totaled approximately $409,000 and $745,000, as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.  The weighted average amortization period for subscriber acquisition costs is 48 months for both dial-up and wireless broadband Internet customers. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $86,000 and $275,000, respectively.  As of March 31, 2010, amortization expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012 is expected to be approximately $357,000, $323,000 and $4,000, respectively.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company reduced subscriber acquisition costs by $90,670 due to a final adjustment to reduce the purchase price on an acquisition of assets by the total amount of related liability previously recorded as a long term amount payable.  Further, the Company has officially notified the seller of the Company’s claim for damages due to sellers’ breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The claim of approximately $85,000 has been fully reserved due to the financial condition of the seller.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the former owners of TeleShare Communications Services, Inc. (“TeleShare”) tendered the 298,117 shares of common stock issued to them as part of the acquisition cost and held in escrow, in exchange for a non-interest bearing promissory note for $745,943.   The Company reduced subscriber acquisition costs to record imputed interest of $60,170 in connection with the issuance of the promissory note.

In March 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Mark and Cynthia Ocker, former owners of TeleShare (“Owners”) to modify the terms of payment. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a gain from restructuring of debt in the amount of $51,613.

7.
Shareholders’ Equity

Upon the surrender by the TeleShare Owners of 298,117 shares of Company stock held in escrow, in exchange for a promissory note issued by the Company, those shares were canceled and the total number of outstanding shares of Company common stock was reduced to 16,558,914.
 
In March 2010, the Company modified the terms of promissory notes issued to the TeleShare Owners.  The Company granted the Owners an option to surrender their noncontrolling interest in exchange for certain assets and customer lists owned by TeleShare as consideration for the modification.

8.
Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company generated a net loss of $159,000 and $946,000, respectively.  During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company generated a net loss of $492,000 and $1,128,000, respectively.   No provision for income taxes has been recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, as the Company has net operating losses generated in the current and prior periods.   As of March 31, 2010, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets of approximately $14.8 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.

On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.  As a result of the implementation of the guidance, management assessed its various income tax positions, and this assessment resulted in no adjustment. The preparation of various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes.  Those estimates may be subject to review by respective taxing authorities.  A revision, if any, to an estimate may result in assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest.  At this time, a range in which our estimates may change is not quantifiable and a change, if any, is not expected to be material.  The Company will account for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the current period income statement, as necessary.  The 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 tax periods remain subject to examination by various federal and state tax jurisdictions.

On September 14, 2009, Internet America issued a Warrant to purchase 197,461 shares of Common Stock to each of Steve Mihaylo and Ambassador John Palmer, both directors of Company. These warrants were issued as consideration for documentation provided by these two directors regarding the Company’s ability to obtain the minimum outside capital funding in connection with an application by the Company for a grant from the Broadband Technology Opportunity Program. The grant program required a minimum of 20% of the project costs to be funded from non-federal sources. The Warrants are exercisable at $0.38 per share for 5 years.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (the “Codification”). The Codification is the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. This statement became effective for the Company on July 1, 2009. This statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance on noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be recorded as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement also requires that consolidated net income shall be adjusted to include the net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest. Disclosure on the face of the income statement of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is required.  This guidance became effective for the Company on July 1, 2009.

Overview

Internet America, Inc. (the "Company" or "Internet America") is an Internet service provider ("ISP") that is focused on providing wireless high-speed broadband Internet in rural markets, and presently serves approximately 8,400 wireless broadband Internet subscribers.   Since the Company's founding in 1995, we have a history of providing an array of Internet services to residential and business subscribers and serve approximately 26,200 total subscribers in Texas as of March 31, 2010, which represents active billed services.  One customer account may represent multiple subscribers depending on the number of active and billed services for that customer. The decline in non-wireless subscribers and revenues is expected and will continue primarily due to our customers migrating to high-speed providers in metropolitan areas.

Our dedication and focus over the past several months has primarily been to improve cash flow and adjusted EBITDA by reduction of expenses, simplification of systems and improvements to processes and procedures.  During January 2010, we engaged outside consultants to evaluate our key personnel and plans.  With their assistance, we were able to reduce our headcount and realign the Company to a flatter, more efficient organization.

Our success can be measured in improved adjusted EBITDA and decreases in headcount.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, reported adjusted EBITDA income was $121,000 compared to a reported adjusted EBITDA loss of $194,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an improvement of $315,000.  While we were able to reduce expenses across the board during the third fiscal quarter, including restructuring our remaining acquisition debt, some of the realized savings will not be evident until the fourth quarter of this fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

With the reduced headcount and fewer customer issues, we determined we no longer needed as heavy a Senior Management structure, and through streamlined systems coupled with the outsourcing of some functions, during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company was able to eliminate some Senior Management positions including the Chief Operating Officer, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing and the Chief Financial Officer.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company anticipates elevating several current experienced employees to functional vice presidents to fulfill many of the duties previously performed by Senior Management.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we also made across the board salary reductions and, in addition to the reduction of Senior Management positions previously discussed, the Company has reduced the total employees from 93 in December 2007 when the Company began its focus on the “Quality Process” to 51 as of May 13, 2010.  These staffing economies along with other expense reductions and quality processes allowed for a decrease in total operating expenses of $378,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  While we reduced our headcount of employees, through implementing process improvements and outsourcing of functions, management believes the Company is operating as well or better today than at any point in the past.   

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company received notification that its application for stimulus money offered through The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act legislation was not accepted.  The Company has decided not to apply for the second round of stimulus money based on its belief that the expense involved and work required to complete the application, in light of the historical record of acceptances, does not justify submitting a second application. The Company believes that it can pursue its rights under the present RUS loan commitment at a much lower cost and with less complexity.

As a result of the progress during the past several months, management believes there is real opportunity to further improve both cash flow and adjusted EBITDA in the next few quarters and plans to focus on improving revenues from the internal growth of wireless operations, commercial services including video meetings (conferencing) and possible acquisitions of other wireless ISP's.  There is no guarantee that the Company will complete any acquisitions as it is committed to making only acquisitions that are immediately accretive with positive EBITDA.

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 telex messaging service revenues.

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 customer 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 five years. We depreciate furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements over five years or the lease term.  Buildings are depreciated over fifteen years. Amortization expense consists of the amortization of subscriber acquisition costs, which are amortized over four years.

Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

Total revenue.  Total revenue decreased by $49,000, or 2.5%, to $1,874,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $1,923,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The Company’s total subscriber count decreased by 1,300, or 4.7%, to 26,200 as of March 31, 2010 compared to 27,500 as of March 31, 2009.  The Company’s wireless broadband Internet subscriber count increased by 400, or 5.0%, to approximately 8,400 as of March 31, 2010, from 8,000 as of March 31, 2009. As a result of the increase in subscribers, wireless broadband Internet revenue increased by $91,000 to $1,188,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $1,097,000 as of March 31, 2009.  The increase in wireless broadband Internet revenues was offset by the decrease in dial-up Internet subscriber counts and related revenue of $141,000, which is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other high-speed providers’ broadband service. The Company derives other revenues primarily by providing telex messaging services, which increased slightly by $1,000, to $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $44,000 in 2009 and varies based on customer demand but is expected to decline as customers migrate to other technologies.

Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $38,000, or 3.0%, to $1,234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $1,272,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in expensed assets, salary and personnel costs, and data and telecommunications expenses.  Expensed assets decreased by $27,000 to $104,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $131,000 as of March 31, 2009 due to a decrease in supplies, installation costs and repairs.  Salaries, wages and related personnel costs decreased by $19,000 to $573,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $592,000 as of March 31, 2009 as a result of the salary reduction plan for all employees implemented as of January 1, 2010.  Data and telecommunications expense decreased slightly by $3,000 to $371,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $374,000 as of March 31, 2009.

The remaining decrease in expense relates primarily to a $2,000 decrease in travel costs and a $1,000 decrease in merchant fees.  The decreases in the previously discussed expenses were offset by an increase in rents/utilities and tower lease of $14,000 due to improvements in the Company's wireless broadband infrastructure and increases in tower rental rates.

Sales and marketing. The Company increased print advertising slightly, causing sales and marketing expense to increase by $4,000, or 5.7%, to $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

General and administrative.  General and administrative expense (G&A) decreased by $283,000, or 35.7%, to $510,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $793,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  In February 2009 the Company recorded a write off expense for direct costs incurred in the contemplated merger with KeyOn of $194,000. G&A expense adjusted for the amount written off related to the failed KeyOn merger decreased to $599,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a reduction of $89,000, or 14.9%.

Salaries and wages decreased $108,000 to $127,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $235,000 as of March 31, 2009 due to the salary reduction plan implemented on January 1, 2010. These decreases were offset by a $40,000 increase in professional and consulting fees to $151,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $111,000 as of March 31, 2009 primarily due to the hiring of an outside consultant to assist with COO duties.  In addition the President/Chief Operating Officer (COO), the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Vice President of Marketing and Sales resigned from the Company during the current quarter.  Rent and utilities expenses decreased by $15,000 to $51,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $66,000 as of March 31, 2009 primarily due to the renegotiation of our phone system lease contract and the consolidation of field storage facilities. The expense related to the issuance of stock options and directors’ fees decreased by $3,000 to $30,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $33,000 as of March 31, 2009 due to the termination of employment of some grantees. Travel expenses decreased by $3,000 to $1,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $4,000 as of March 31, 2009.  Insurance expenses decreased slightly by $3,000 to $27,000 as of March 31, 2010 from $30,000 as of March 31, 2009. Other G&A expenses decreased $5,000 to $70,000 as of March 31, 2010 from $75,000 as of March 31, 2009.  Telecommunications expense increased by $8,000 due to the purchase of increased bandwidth capacity.

Provision for bad debt expense (recovery).  Provision for bad debt expense decreased by $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2010, we are fully reserved for all customer accounts that are at least 90 days old.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased by $6,000, or 2.3%, to $251,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $257,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in amortization expense of $33,000 was offset by the increase in depreciation of $27,000. The increase in depreciation relates to the decrease in fully depreciated assets still in use, offset by the improvement of the Company’s wireless broadband Internet network.  The decrease in amortization expense of acquired subscriber costs is the result of early wireless acquisitions in fiscal 2005 and 2006 becoming fully amortized.

Gain from restructuring of debt.  Gain from restructuring of debt totaled $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Mark and Cynthia Ocker along with the Company entered into amendments to the notes payable originally issued to them in connection with the acquisition of TeleShare. These amendments extend the payment terms and also reduce the interest rate and carrying value slightly resulting in a one-time gain.

Interest expense/income. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded interest expense of $18,000 and $25,000, respectively.  The $7,000 decrease in interest expense is the result of the reduction in the Company’s long-term debt.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded interest income of $2,000 and $5,000, respectively; the decrease is due primarily to a decline in cash on hand.

Total revenue.  Total revenue decreased by $370,000, or 6.3%, to $5,546,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, from $5,916,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  The Company’s total subscriber count decreased by 1,300, or 4.7%, to 26,200 as of March 31, 2010 compared to 27,500 as of March 31, 2009.  The Company’s wireless broadband Internet subscriber count increased by 400, or 5.0%, to approximately 8,400 as of March 31, 2010 from 8,000 as of March 31, 2009. As a result of the increase in subscribers, wireless broadband Internet revenue increased by $271,000 to $3,469,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $3,198,000 as of March 31, 2009. The increase in wireless broadband Internet revenues was offset by the decrease in dial-up Internet subscriber counts and related revenue of $615,000, which is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other high-speed providers’ broadband service. The Company derives other revenues primarily by providing telex messaging services, which decreased to $126,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $152,000 in 2009. Due to availability of alternative technology, telex revenue is expected to continue to decline.

Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $186,000, or 4.7%, to $3,777,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, from $3,963,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  There was a decrease in salaries and wages of approximately $137,000 to $1,733,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $1,870,000 as of March 31, 2009. This was attributed to efficiencies gained from quality process initiatives and the salary reduction plan implemented on January 1, 2010.  Installation expenses decreased by $80,000 to $345,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $425,000 as of March 31, 2009 due to decreases in supplies, installation costs and repairs.  Data and telecommunications expense decreased by $25,000 to $1,116,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $1,141,000 as of March 31, 2009 due to our renegotiating more favorable terms with telecommunications service providers. Travel and mileage costs decreased by $14,000 to $79,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $93,000 as of March 31, 2009.  The remaining decrease in expense primarily related to a decrease in merchant fees of $7,000, which is a result of the decrease in revenues.

The decreases in the previously discussed expenses were partially offset by an increase of $45,000 to $350,000 in facilities and tower lease costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $305,000 as of March 31, 2009.  The increase in tower leases relates to improvements in the Company’s wireless broadband infrastructure and increases in tower rental rates.  There was an increase of other expenses of $32,000 for a one time conversion cost related to transfer email services to a hosted outsource service provider.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased by $8,000, or 3.8%, to $221,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $213,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  Direct print advertising expense increased by $9,000 to $42,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $33,000 as of March 31, 2009.  These increases were offset by a slight decrease in salaries of $1,000.  The Company is focusing on direct advertising in all improved or enhanced network areas in fiscal year 2010.

General and administrative.  G&A decreased by $256,000, or 12.8%, to $1,739,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, from $1,995,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  In February 2009, the Company recorded a write off expense for direct costs incurred in the contemplated merger with KeyOn of $194,000.

Salaries and wages decreased $151,000 to $564,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $715,000 as of March 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the number of employees, including resignations of the COO, CFO and the Vice President of Marketing and Sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and the salary reduction plan implemented on January 1, 2010. Certain staffing decreases were offset by consulting fees paid to an outside consultant hired at the end of January, 2010 to assist with COO duties.  Facilities costs decreased by $33,000 to $180,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $213,000 as of March 31, 2009 primarily due to the renegotiation of our phone system lease contract and the closing of storage facilities.  Insurance costs decreased by $24,000 to $67,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $91,000 as of March 31, 2009 due to the renegotiation of insurance contracts.  Professional and consulting fees decreased by $15,000 to $334,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $349,000 as of March 31, 2009 primarily due to declining consulting fees paid to contract labor for telex messaging services, offset by outside consulting fees paid to assist with COO duties.  Travel and mileage expenses decreased an additional $11,000 to $8,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $19,000 as of March 31, 2009 as a result of continued efforts to reduce expenses using efficiencies. The expense related to the issuance of stock options and directors’ fees decreased by $7,000 to $103,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $110,000 as of March 31, 2009 due to the expiration of options after termination of employment of certain employees.

The above decreases were offset primarily by non-recurring expenses totaling $120,000 in connection with our application for a grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to expand access to broadband into areas in Southeast Texas adjacent to existing operations.  Telecommunications expense increased by $33,000 to $160,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $127,000 as of March 31, 2009 due primarily to the purchase of increased bandwidth capacity.   Other costs increased by $26,000 to $203,000 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $177,000 as of March 31, 2009.

Provision for bad debt expense (recovery).  Provision for bad debt expense decreased by $5,000, or 166.7%, to a net recovery of $2,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, from a $3,000 provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company is fully reserved for all customer accounts that are at least 90 days old.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased by $75,000, or 9.0%, to $755,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, from $830,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease of $92,000 in amortization expense is offset by the increase in depreciation expense of $17,000. The increase in depreciation relates to the decrease in fully depreciated assets still in use, offset by the improvement of the Company’s wireless broadband Internet network.  The decrease in amortization expense of acquired subscriber costs is the result of early wireless acquisitions in fiscal 2005 and 2006 becoming fully amortized.

Gain from restructuring of debt.  Gain from restructuring of debt totaled $52,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Mark and Cynthia Ocker along with the Company entered into amendments to the notes payable originally issued to them in connection with the acquisition of Teleshare. These amendments extend the payment terms and also reduce the interest rate and carrying value slightly resulting in a one-time gain.

Interest income and expense. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded interest expense of $63,000 and $72,000, respectively.  The $9,000 decrease in interest expense is the result of the reduction in the Company’s long-term debt offset. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded interest income of $9,000 and $32,000, respectively.

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 used in operating activities is net income or loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in operations was $389,000 compared to cash used in operations of $369,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, net loss plus non-cash items used was $166,000 compared to $225,000 for the same period last year.  Additional decreases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue were offset by increases in inventory.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $251,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 which relates primarily to the deployment of new wireless broadband Internet infrastructure. Cash used in investing activities totaled $265,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, which also relates primarily to new infrastructure.

    Cash used in financing activities, which totaled $502,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, consisted of principal payments on debt and capital leases.  Cash provided by financing activities, which totaled $437,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, consisted of principal payments on debt.

    Cash on hand declined by $1,142,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  At March 31, 2010, cash on hand was $1,279,000 compared to $2,421,000 at June 30, 2009.    We believe our continued efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of our operations over the past few months along with additional value-added services such as desktop video conferencing and VoIP may lead to a more rapid rate of growth and an increase average revenue per user and result in improved cash flow from operations.

Management believes that the Company will be able to meet the service obligations related to the deferral of revenue. Continued decreases in revenues and subscriber count may adversely affect the liquidity of the Company.  We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any or all of our initiatives, or that the achievement or existence of such initiatives will result in positive cash flow.  Additional capital financing arrangements, including public or private sales of debt or equity securities, or additional borrowings from commercial banks, shareholders and third parties, may be insufficient or unavailable.
