NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1. Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, and Summary of Selected Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 for Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and therefore omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included in condensed consolidated interim financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been made. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, comprehensive loss was equal to the net loss amounts presented for the respective periods in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statements of operations. In addition, certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Income taxes
 
The Company complies with accounting and reporting requirements with respect to accounting for income taxes, which require an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Derecognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for all tax years since 2009 and may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. No interest expense or penalties have been recognized as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. During the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.

Earnings per share
 
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements regarding earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income of the Company.
 
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2013 and 2012, the following securities were excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive:
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
Warrants
    114,495,924       51,372,711  
Stock options
    17,662,583       6,418,261  
Convertible preferred stock
    7,669,838       7,299,510  
      139,828,345       65,090,482  
 
The net loss per common share calculation includes a provision for preferred stock dividends on the Company’s outstanding Series A-1, A-2 and A-4 preferred stock in the approximate amount of $101,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and approximately $301,000 and $302,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the Board of Directors had not declared any dividends on the Company’s preferred stock, and the Company had accumulated approximately $3,428,000 of preferred stock dividends.

Sale of accounts receivable
 
The Company has an agreement to sell certain of its accounts receivable under an arrangement with a third party. These transactions qualify as sales of financial assets under the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 860, Transfers and Servicing, in that the rights, title and interest to the receivables are transferred. As a result, the Company accounts for the sales of its accounts receivable by derecognizing them from its consolidated balance sheet as of the date of sale and recording a loss on sale at the time the receivables are sold for the difference between the book value of the receivables sold and their respective purchase price.

The Company recognized a loss on the sale of accounts receivable in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 of approximately $47,000 and $176,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 the Company recognized a loss on the sale of accounts receivable of approximately $66,000 and $235,000, respectively, and approximately $0.9 million and $2.4 million of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable have been derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company’s obligations to the purchaser of the receivables under the agreement are secured by a first priority lien on the accounts receivable of the Company’s Carrier Services business segment, and by a subordinated security interest on the other assets of the Company’s Carrier Services business segment. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the creditworthiness of the customers whose receivables the Company sells under this arrangement, the Company does not believe that there is any significant credit risk related to those receivables.

Goodwill
 
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had goodwill in the amount of $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, consisting of the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Network Billing Systems, LLC (“NBS”) on October 29, 2012. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed annually in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter or when indications of an impairment exist. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying value. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach, which is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company has determined that its reporting units are its operating segments since that is the lowest level at which discrete, reliable financial and cash flow information is available. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit (calculated using a market approach and/or a discounted cash flow method) to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, there is a potential impairment and step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value, which is the fair value of the reporting unit less the fair value of the unit’s assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount, an impairment is recognized. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
During the nine months ending September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an adjustment to the fair value of the accounts receivable of NBS as of the date of acquisition, with a corresponding increase to goodwill, in the amount of $0.2 million.

Stockbased compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by recognizing the fair value of the compensation cost for all stock awards over their respective service periods, which are generally equal to the vesting period. This compensation cost is determined using option pricing models intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. An offsetting increase to stockholders' equity is recorded equal to the amount of the compensation expense charge.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 includes compensation expense for stock-based payment awards granted prior to September 30, 2013 but not yet vested, based on the estimated grant date fair value. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers historical forfeiture rates as well as ongoing trends for actual option forfeiture.
 
The impact of stock-based compensation expense on the Company’s results of continuing operations was approximately $51,000 and $32,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately $107,000 and $101,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations.

Advertising and marketing
 
Advertising and marketing expense includes cost for promotional materials and trade show expenses for the marketing of the Company’s business products and services. Advertising and marketing expenses were approximately $9,000 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately $25,000 and $8,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximate the fair value presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, due to their short-term maturities.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could be affected by the accuracy of those estimates.

Restricted cash at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 includes $232,325 and $1,000,000 of cash held in reserve as required by the terms of the Company’s senior lending agreement (see notes 2 and 7), and certificates of deposit collateralizing a letter of credit in the aggregate amount of $163,711 and $26,326 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The letter of credit is required as security for one of the Company’s non-cancelable operating leases for office facilities. The restricted cash balance at September 30, 2013 includes $122,500 of cash held in escrow from private placement efforts for which shares of the Company’s equity securities have not been issued. The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013 includes a corresponding escrow payable representing the Company’s obligation to issue such securities.
 
2. Going Concern
 
At September 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3.6 million and an accumulated deficit of $156.8 million. The Company has continued to sustain losses from operations and has not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception. The Company cannot provide any assurances if and when it will be able to attain profitability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company raised approximately $3.6 million, net of expenses, from the sale of its equity securities.

As more fully described in note 7, at various times subsequent to May 15, 2013 the Company was out of compliance with the minimum cash balance covenant contained in its senior lending agreement, which was the subject of a waiver and amendment agreement dated August 14, 2013. This agreement reduced the minimum cash balance requirement from $1.0 million to $0.5 million for the period from May 15, 2013 through August 31, 2013, after which time the minimum cash balance requirement reverted to $1 million. The Company has not been in compliance with the $1.0 million minimum cash balance requirement since August 31, 2013, and has entered into a second waiver and amendment agreement which amended the terms of its senior debt to provide that the Company shall maintain a minimum cash bank balance of no less than $1.0 million, in excess of any and all cash balances held by NBS, at all times following December 31, 2013 (see note 7).
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. No adjustment has been made in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Acquisition
 
As previously discussed in note 1, the Company acquired NBS on October 29, 2012. Had the transaction taken place on January 1, 2012, the Company’s consolidated revenues and net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 would have approximately $16.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and the Company’s consolidated revenues and net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 would have been approximately $52.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

On October 29, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fusion NBS Acquisition Corp. (“FNAC”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Security Agreement (the “SPA”) with Praesidian Capital Opportunity Fund III, LP, Praesidian Capital Opportunity Fund III-A, LP and Plexus Fund II, LP (the “Lenders”). Under the SPA, the Company sold the Lenders (a) five-year Series A senior notes (the “Series A Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $6.5 million, bearing interest at the rate of 10.0% annually, and (b) five-year Series B senior notes (the “Series B Notes”, and together with the Series A Notes, the “Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million bearing interest at the rate of 11.5% annually. The proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes were used to finance the acquisition of NBS.
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
All of the Senior Notes provide for the payment of interest on a monthly basis. The Series A Notes provide for monthly principal payments in the amount of $52,083 each, beginning September 30, 2013, with the outstanding principal balance being due and payable on October 27, 2017. The outstanding principal balance of the Series B Notes becomes due and payable on October 27, 2017.
 
The obligations to the Lenders are secured by first priority security interests on all of the assets of FNAC and NBS, as well as the capital stock of each of the Company’s subsidiaries, including NBS, and by second priority security interests in the accounts receivable pertaining to the Company’s Carrier Services business segment and all of the other assets of the Company. In addition, Fusion and NBS have guaranteed FNAC’s obligations under the SPA, including FNAC’s obligation to repay the Senior Notes.
 
The SPA contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to, restrictions on paying indebtedness subordinate to the Senior Notes, incurring additional indebtedness, making capital expenditures, dividend payments and cash distributions by subsidiaries. In addition, at all times while the Senior Notes are outstanding, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash bank balance of no less than $1 million in excess of any amounts outstanding under a permitted working capital line of credit and in excess of any and all cash balances held by NBS. The SPA also requires on-going compliance with various financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Failure to comply with any of the restrictive or financial covenants could result in an event of default and accelerated demand for repayment of the Senior Notes. At various times since May 15, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with the $1.0 million minimum cash balance requirement under the SPA. On August 14, 2013, the Company and the Lenders entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement to the SPA (the “First Waiver Agreement”) whereby the Lenders agreed to waive compliance with the $1.0 million minimum cash balance requirement through August 14, 2013, and amended the SPA to reduce the minimum cash balance requirement from $1.0 million to $0.5 million for the period between May 15, 2013 and August 31, 2013, after which time the minimum cash balance requirement reverted to $1.0 million. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the SPA as amended by the First Waiver Agreement through August 30, 2013, however the Company has been out of compliance with the $1.0 million minimum cash balance requirement since August 31, 2013. At September 30, 2013 the Company was in compliance with all of the other financial covenants under the Senior Notes. On November 12, 2013, the Company entered into a Waiver and Second Amendment Agreement to the SPA (the “Second Waiver Agreement”) which amended the SPA to provide that the Company shall maintain a minimum cash bank balance of no less than $1.0 million, in excess of any and all cash balances held by NBS, at all times following December 31, 2013.

In connection with the sale of the Senior Notes to the Lenders, the Company issued a nominal warrant to the Lenders to purchase 13,325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Lenders’ Warrant”). The Lenders’ Warrant is exercisable from the date of issuance until October 29, 2022, at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The Company is required to pay the exercise price on behalf of the Lenders at the time of exercise. Commencing upon the earlier of a change in control, the repayment of the Senior Notes in full or October 29, 2017, in the event that the Company’s common stock does not meet certain liquidity thresholds with respect to trading volume and market price, then the Lenders have the right to require the Company to repurchase the shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Lenders’ Warrant at a repurchase price based upon the formulas set forth therein.
 
The Company recorded a discount on the Senior Notes based on the fair value of the Lenders’ Warrant as of the date of issuance, which was $1,865,500. The discount is being accreted over the life of the Senior Notes, and the discount was $1,577,661 and $1,815,920 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, the Lenders’ Warrant does not meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity, and is not considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock under the guidance provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As a result, the Company recognized a derivative liability in the amount of $1,865,500 upon the issuance of the Lenders' Warrant. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the derivative liability was $1,798,875 and $1,066,000, respectively, and the Company recognized a loss on the change in fair value of $732,875 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Other notes payable
During the first nine months of 2013, the Company received advances from the purchaser of its accounts receivable (see note 1) totaling $212,500. This amount is in addition to the proceeds received by the Company for the sale of accounts receivable. The Company repaid the entire amount of this advance during the period, along with advance fees of approximately $9,000. These fees are reflected in Other expenses, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Sellers Notes
As part of the purchase price of NBS, FNAC issued promissory notes (the “Sellers Notes”) to Jonathan Kaufman and entities affiliated with Mr. Kaufman, (the “Sellers of NBS”) in the principal amount of $600,000. The Sellers Notes bear interest at 3% per annum, are payable in fourteen equal monthly installments commencing January 31, 2013 and are unsecured. The Sellers Notes are subject to the terms of a subordination agreement with the Lenders. Repayment of the Sellers Notes is guaranteed by the Company and NBS. Upon the closing of the acquisition of NBS, Mr. Kaufman became President of the Company’s Business Services division and an executive officer of the Company.

Notes Payable to Marvin Rosen
In conjunction with the Company’s sale of the Senior Notes to the Lenders in October of 2012, Marvin Rosen, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered into an Intercreditor and Subordination agreement with the Company and the Lenders (the “Subordination Agreement”), whereby Mr. Rosen agreed, among other things, that other than payments permitted by the Lenders, the amounts owed to him by the Company would be subordinate to the Senior Notes and the Company’s other obligations to the Lenders. In connection with this agreement, on October 25, 2012 Mr. Rosen agreed to consolidate the principal amount of all his then outstanding promissory notes aggregating to $3,922,364 into a new single note (the “New Rosen Note”). The New Rosen Note is not secured, pays interest monthly at a rate of 7% per annum, and matures 60 days after the Senior Notes are paid in full. Accrued interest on the outstanding promissory notes as of October 24, 2012 amounted to approximately $484,000, and this amount, together with 7% annual interest, is reflected in Notes payable – related parties on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
On March 1, 2013, the Company received a short-term unsecured advance from Mr. Rosen in the amount of $100,000, which remains outstanding as of September 30, 2013. The Lenders have approved the repayment of this advance from the proceeds from certain future sales of the Company’s equity securities. During the first nine months of 2013, Mr. Rosen converted $895,000 of the New Rosen Note into 10,443,772 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 5,221,886 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at 125% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the date of conversion.
 
9. Equity Transactions
 
At various times during the first nine months of 2013, the Company entered into subscription agreements with 47 accredited investors, under which the Company issued an aggregate of 45,960,218 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 22,980,110 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $3.6 million. The warrants are exercisable at 125% of the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the date of closing.

Also during the first nine months of 2013, an executive officer of the Company converted $102,500 due to him into 1,177,965 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 588,983 shares of the Company’s common stock, and another director of the Company converted $5,733 due to him into 76,237 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 38,119 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at 125% of the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the date of conversion. In connection with these conversions, and the conversions discussed in note 8, the Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 in the amount of $291,995 and $442,574, respectively.

Effective as of September 30, 2013, all of the Company’s outstanding Series B-1 Preferred Stock was converted into 62,672,008 shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 686,381 shares of common stock to third parties for services valued at $96,845.

10. Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 there were no new accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
11. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Legal matters
 
On March 12, 2013, a landlord over premises leased by the Company commenced a lawsuit in the New York City Civil Court, County of New York (Index No. 58738/13), in which the landlord is seeking to recover specified rent and related charges of approximately $97,000 due under a lease agreement between the landlord and the Company, and, as a result thereof, to evict the Company from the premises. The Company has since made all of the payments demanded by the landlord in the lawsuit, and the lawsuit has been dismissed.

On or about September 4, 2013, a landlord over premises leased by the Company commenced a lawsuit in the New York City Civil Court, County of New York (Index No. 79154/13), in which the landlord is seeking to recover specified rent and related charges of approximately $88,000 due under a lease agreement between the landlord and the Company, plus interest and attorneys’ fees, and to evict the Company from the premises. The Company intends to contest and dispute the claims set forth in the landlord’s petition. However, due to the uncertainties of litigation and other unknown factors, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to reach a favorable resolution to this proceeding.

The Company is from time to time involved in claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of any such claims or actions will have a material effect on the Company’s operations or financial condition. In addition, due to the regulatory nature of the telecommunications industry, the Company periodically receives and responds to various inquiries from state and federal regulatory agencies. Management does not expect the outcome of any such regulatory inquiries to have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.

 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Proposed Acquisition
 
On August 30, 2013, the Company and its newly-formed subsidiary, Fusion Broadvox Acquisition Corp. (“FBAC”), entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire specified assets owned by BroadvoxGo! LLC and Cypress Communications, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) and used in the operation of the cloud communications services segment of the Sellers’ business (the “Acquired Business”). The Company also agreed to assume substantially all of the on-going liabilities of the Acquired Business incurred in the ordinary course of business.

The aggregate purchase price for the assets to be purchased from the Sellers, net of the assumed liabilities, is $32.1 million (subject to adjustment as provided in the Agreement), payable in cash, at closing. In accordance with the Agreement, the Company delivered $200,000 into escrow as a good faith deposit to be refunded to the Company only under certain limited circumstances, such as Sellers’ wrongful failure to complete the sale or the Company’s termination of the Agreement due to Sellers’ failure to satisfy a condition precedent to closing not waived by the Company.

While the Agreement contemplates that a closing of the sale of the Acquired Business will take place in the fourth quarter of 2013, the conditions precedent to closing are such that there can be no assurance that the Company will complete its acquisition of the Acquired Business in that time or at all.
 
Other matters
 
The Company’s operations were impacted by Hurricane Sandy in October of 2012, and the Company filed a business interruption insurance claim with its insurance carrier for the Company’s estimate of losses it incurred as a result of the storm. The Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 reflects insurance proceeds received in the amount of $85,000, which is reflected as a reduction to Cost of sales in the Company’s Carrier Services business segment. The Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects approximately $248,000 of insurance proceeds, of which approximately $109,000 is reflected as Revenues, $85,000 is reflected as a reduction in Cost of sales and the remainder as a reduction to Selling, general and administrative expenses.

12. Segment Information
 
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements on Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The guidance requires disclosures of segment information on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and for determining the allocation of resources to the operating segments.

The Company has two reportable segments that it operates and manages – Carrier Services and Business Services. These segments are organized by the products and services that are sold and the customers that are served. The Company measures and evaluates its reportable segments based on revenues and gross profit margins. The Company’s executive, administrative and support costs are allocated to the Company’s operating segments and are included in segment income. The Company’s segments and their principal activities consist of the following:

Carrier Services
Carrier Services includes the termination of carrier traffic utilizing primarily Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) technology. VoIP permits a less costly and more rapid interconnection between the Company and international telecommunications carriers, and generally provides better profit margins for the Company than other technologies. The Company currently interconnects with over 270 carrier customers and vendors, and is working to expand its interconnection relationships, particularly with carriers in emerging markets.

Business Services
The Company provides a full portfolio of cloud communications, cloud connectivity, storage and security solutions to small, medium and large businesses. These services are sold through both the Company’s direct sales force and its partner sales program, which utilizes the efforts of independent third-party distributors to sell the Company’s products and services. The Business Services segment includes the results of operations of NBS effective as of October 29, 2012.

17. Fair Value Disclosures
 
Fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, is as follows:
 
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3—No observable pricing inputs in the market

The following table represents the fair value of the liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

18. Subsequent Events
 
In October of 2013, the Company entered into subscription agreements with 13 accredited investors, under which the Company issued an aggregate of 4,296,945 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 2,148,473 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $0.6 million. The warrants are exercisable at 125% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the date of closing. In addition, the Company issued 269,183 shares of common stock valued at approximately $25,000 to a third party as partial payment for services rendered.

On November 12, 2013, the Company entered into the Second Waiver Agreement to provide that the Company shall maintain a minimum cash bank balance of no less than $1.0 million, in excess of any and all cash balances held by NBS, at all times following December 31, 2013.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein and in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis set forth in our fiscal 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
OVERVIEW
 
Our Business
 
We are a cloud services provider delivering value-added cloud-based solutions to businesses and carriers in the United States and throughout the world. Through our Business Services business segment, we offer business products and services that are device and location agnostic and include unified Communications, cloud-based voice, managed cloud connections and a complement of additional cloud solutions such as storage, security and disaster recovery. Our advanced business services are flexible, scalable and rapidly deployed, lowering customers’ costs of ownership and increasing productivity.

Through our Carrier Services business segment, we offer domestic and international voice termination services to telecommunications carriers throughout the world, with a particular focus on providing services to and from emerging markets in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. These services utilize primarily VoIP termination. We currently interconnect with over 270 carrier customers and vendors, who include U.S.-based carriers sending voice traffic to international destinations and foreign carriers sending voice traffic to the U.S. and internationally. Our carrier-grade network, advanced switching systems and interconnections with global carriers on six continents also reduce the cost of global voice traffic termination and expand service delivery capabilities for our Business Services segment.

Although we believe that the Carrier Services business segment continues to be of significant value to our long term strategy, our growth strategy is focused primarily on the higher margin Business Services business segment and marketing to small and mid-sized businesses, as well as larger enterprises, using both our direct and partner distribution channels. We anticipate that this will assist us in increasing the percentage of the Company’s total revenues contributed by the Business Services business segment, which we believe will complement the Company’s Carrier Services business segment by providing higher margins and a more stable customer base.

On October 29, 2012, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Fusion NBS Acquisition Corp. (“FNAC”), we completed the acquisition of Network Billing Systems, LLC and certain assets and liabilities of its affiliate, Interconnect Services Group II LLC (“ISG and collectively, “NBS”). NBS is a cloud services provider offering a wide range of cloud-based voice, data, unified communications and connectivity solutions to small, medium and large businesses in the United States.

The aggregate purchase price for the outstanding membership interests of NBS and the assets of ISG, net of assumed liabilities, was $19.6 million (the “Purchase Price”), consisting of $17.75 million in cash, $0.6 million to be evidenced by promissory notes payable to the sellers of the NBS membership interests (the “Seller Notes”) and 11,363,636 shares of our restricted common stock valued at $1.25 million. The cash portion of the Purchase Price was largely financed through the issuance of $16.5 million of senior notes by FNAC (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

Effective as of the date of the acquisition, NBS became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and we have substantially completed the integration of our pre-acquisition Business Services business segment with NBS’ existing business. In connection with our acquisition of NBS, we entered into an Employment and Restrictive Covenant Agreement with Jonathan Kaufman, the founder and principal operating officer of NBS, and Mr. Kaufman became the President of our combined Business Services business segment.
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
We manage our business segments based on gross profit and margin, which represents net revenue less the cost of revenue, and on net profitability. Although our infrastructure is largely built to support both business segments and all of our products, many of the infrastructure costs, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and capital expenditures can be specifically associated with one of our two business segments. The majority of our operations, engineering, information systems and support personnel are assigned to either the Business Services or Carrier Services business segment for segment reporting purposes, while a relatively small number of personnel are allocated to both segments as appropriate.

On August 30, 2013, we entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire specified assets owned by BroadvoxGo! LLC and Cypress Communications, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) and used in the operation of the cloud communications services segment of the Sellers’ business (the “Broadvox Transaction”). We also agreed to assume substantially all of the on-going liabilities of the acquired business incurred in the ordinary course of business.

The aggregate purchase price for the assets to be purchased from the Sellers, net of the assumed liabilities, is $32.1 million (subject to adjustment as provided in the Agreement), payable in cash, at closing. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we delivered $200,000 into escrow as a good faith deposit to be refunded to us only under certain limited circumstances, such as Sellers’ wrongful failure to complete the sale or our termination of the Agreement due to Sellers’ failure to satisfy a condition precedent to closing not waived by us.

Consummation of the Broadvox Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an audit of the financial books and records of the business being acquired, receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals and certain third-party consents, receipt by the Company of sufficient funding to pay the purchase price and provide for reasonable post-acquisition working capital requirements, and other customary conditions of closing. In addition, the closing of the transactions is subject to demonstration that the acquired business achieves annualized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of not less than $5.0 million based on the three months preceding the closing (with a downward adjustment of the purchase price to the extent that such annualized EBITDA is less than $5.9 million but more than $5 million). Consummation is also subject to the negotiation of a series of mutual acceptable agreements relating to post-closing matters such as (a) certain transition services to be provided to the Company by the Sellers, (b) the shared use of certain equipment and systems of the Sellers on a transition basis and (c) the Company’s use of certain intellectual property of the Sellers on a transition basis.

While the Agreement contemplates that the closing of the Broadvox Transaction will take place in the fourth quarter of 2013, the conditions precedent to closing are such that there can be no assurance that the Company will complete the Broadvox Transaction in that time or at all.

Our Outlook
 
Our ability to grow our business, fully implement our business plan (including the consummation of the foregoing acquisition transaction) and achieve profitability is dependent upon our ability to raise significant amounts of additional capital. We require additional capital to support our obligations related to the Broadvox Transaction. We also require additional capital to support our Carrier Services business, specifically for capital expenditures required to expand our voice termination capacity, to implement a new automated system for the administration of routing and rates and for the working capital necessary to optimize the terms under which we buy from our vendors and sell to our customers. Additional capital will also be required to support our Business Services segment, mainly for capital expenditures and other expenses associated with the development of new products and services. We believe that if we are able to obtain the necessary capital we will be able to compete effectively in both of our business segments.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Revenues
 
Consolidated revenues were $14.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $10.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $4.9 million, or 48.7%. Carrier services revenue of $7.0 million represents a decrease of $2.4 million, or 25.1%, from the same period of a year ago, mainly due to a 12.9% decrease in the number of minutes transmitted over our network as well as a 13.8% decrease in the blended rate per minute of traffic terminated.

Revenues for the Business Services segment were $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which did not give effect to the October 2012 acquisition of NBS.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
 
Consolidated cost of revenues was $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is due to the costs attributed to NBS revenues not present in 2012, largely offset by the lower traffic volume in the Carrier Services segment. Consolidated gross margin was 32.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 8.0% in the same period for 2012. The increase is primarily due to the higher mix of Business Services revenue in 2013 as a result of the NBS acquisition.
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Gross margin for the Carrier Services segment was 12.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 6.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was mainly due to a one-time transition event in 2012 resulting from errors in manually entering vendor rates and routing codes to our then-existing rate and routing database system during our conversion to a new system, which adversely impacted our gross margin in 2012. In addition, we received $85,000 of business interruption insurance proceeds in 2013 for lost gross profit related to Hurricane Sandy. Gross margin for the Business Services segment was 51.4% in 2013, compared to 40.4%, in 2012, as NBS generates gross margins that are significantly higher than our pre-acquisition Business Services segment.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $0.1 million during the same period of a year ago, mainly due to $0.6 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in the NBS transaction and depreciation expense on NBS fixed assets in 2013 not present in 2012.
 
SG&A
 
SG&A during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $4.3 million, as compared to $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was mainly due to SG&A associated with NBS in 2013 not present in the prior year, consisting primarily of employee compensation costs and commissions paid to third party selling agents.

Operating Loss
 
Our operating loss narrowed from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $0.4 million for the three months ending September 30, 2013. The improvement is a result of the $4.0 million increase in consolidated gross profit, substantially all of which was generated by our Business Services segment, largely offset by the increases in SG&A and depreciation and amortization expense.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense increased by $0.6 million, in the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to $0.5 million of interest on the senior notes issued in October 2012 in connection with the NBS transaction and $0.1 million of non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discount and deferred financing fees related to the issuance of the senior notes.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $292,000 for the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in connection with the conversion of debt into equity.
 

FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Other Expenses
 
Other expenses of $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 is comprised primarily of the change in the fair value of a derivative liability related to warrants issued in connection with the issuance of our senior notes. Other expenses, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.1 million and was mainly composed of the loss on the sale of our accounts receivable.

Net Loss
 
The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $2.2 million, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The higher net loss was mainly due to the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $0.8 million, the $0.6 million increase in interest expense and the $0.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt, largely offset by the $1.1 million decrease in operating loss.
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Revenues
 
Consolidated revenues were $45.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $31.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $13.5 million, or 42.6%. Carrier services revenue of $22.5 million represents a decrease of $7.5 million, or 25.1%, from the same period of a year ago, mainly due to a 25% decrease in the number of minutes transmitted over our network.

Revenues for the Business Services segment were $22.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to the October 2012 acquisition of NBS.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
 
Consolidated cost of revenues was $31.3 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $28.2 million for the first nine months of 2012. The increase is due to the costs attributed to NBS revenues not present in 2012, largely offset by the lower traffic volume in the Carrier Services segment. Consolidated gross margin was 30.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 11.2% in the same period for 2012. The increase is due to the higher mix of Business Services revenue in 2013 as a result of the NBS acquisition.

Gross margin for the Carrier Services segment was 10.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 9.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is due to $194,000 of business interruption proceeds received in 2013 as a result of Hurricane Sandy. Gross margin for the Business Services segment was 50.7% in 2013, compared to 37.7% in 2012, as NBS generates gross margins that are significantly higher than our pre-acquisition Business Services segment.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $0.3 million during the same period of a year ago, mainly due to $1.7 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in the NBS transaction and $0.7 million of depreciation expense on NBS fixed assets in 2013 not present in 2012.

SG&A
 
SG&A for the first nine months of 2013 was $13.0 million, as compared to $6.5 million during the first nine months of 2012, as the acquisition of NBS doubled the number of employees in the Company.

Operating Loss
 
Our operating loss of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 represents a decrease of $1.5 million, or 46.6%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease is mainly due to the $10.9 million increase in gross profit generated by our Business Services segment, largely offset by the increases in SG&A and depreciation and amortization expense, as well as a $0.5 million decline in gross profit in our Carrier Services segment.

Interest Expense
 
Interest expense increased by $1.8 million, in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to $1.4 million of interest on the senior notes issued in October 2012 in connection with the NBS transaction and $0.3 million of non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discount and deferred financing fees related to the issuance of the senior notes.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
 
The loss extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock issued in connection with the conversions of debt into equity.

Other Expenses
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded other expenses, net, of $0.8 million, as compared to $0.2 million in the same period of a year ago. The increase is mainly due to the loss on the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $0.7 million, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in the loss on the sale of our accounts receivable resulting from lower sales at our Carrier Services business segment and a $0.1 million increase in other income, which was mainly the result of early termination fees from customers received at NBS.

Gain on Extinguishment of Accounts Payable
 
In June of 2013, pursuant to the advice of counsel and based on applicable laws, we determined that we no longer had any liability pertaining to a trade payable in the amount $2,908,882. As a result, we derecognized the payable from our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2013 and recorded a corresponding gain on the extinguishment of debt, net of legal fees in the amount of $25,222.

Net Loss
 
The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2.1 million, as compared to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the gain on the extinguishment of accounts payable of $2.9 million and the $1.5 million decrease in operating loss, partially offset by the $1.8 million increase in interest expense, $0.4 million loss on the extinguishment of debt and $0.7 million loss on the change in fair value of the derivative.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating and net losses. In addition, we have yet to generate positive cash flow from operations. As of September 30, 2013, we had a stockholders’ deficit of $3.0 million, as compared to $6.1 million at December 31, 2012, and a working capital deficit of $3.6 million, as compared to $8.0 million at December 31, 2012. We currently do not have sufficient cash or other financial resources to fund our operations and meet our obligations for the next twelve months. We will be required to raise additional capital to support our business plan, including the consummation of the pending Broadvox Transaction. There are no current commitments for such funds and there can be no assurances that such funds will be available to the Company as needed. In the event that we are unable to secure the necessary funding to meet our working capital requirements and payment obligations, either through the sale of our securities or through other financing arrangements, we may be required to downsize, reduce our workforce, sell assets or possibly curtail some of our operations.

We have historically relied upon loans from related and non-related parties, primarily Marvin Rosen, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the sale of our equity securities to fund our operations. During fiscal 2012 and the first nine months of 2013, we relied primarily on the sale of our accounts receivable, including unbilled receivables, under our agreement with Prestige Capital Corporation (“Prestige”), as well as the sale of our equity securities. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $0.9 million of our outstanding accounts receivable had been sold to Prestige.

As of September 30, 2013, our consolidated cash balance was approximately $1.2 million, substantially all which is held by NBS and is subject to the restricted payment provisions of the Senior Notes. Our long-term liquidity is dependent on our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations in both of our business segments. We cannot predict if and when we will be able to attain positive cash flows from operations in our Carrier Services business segment.

During the first nine months of 2013, we entered into subscription agreements with 47 accredited investors, under which the Company issued an aggregate of 45,960,218 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 22,980,110 shares of the Company’s common stock for net proceeds of $3.6 million. The warrants are exercisable at 125% of the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to closing. In October of 2013 we entered into subscription agreements with an additional 13 accredited investors, under which we issued an aggregate of 4,296,945 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 2,148,473 shares of the Company’s common stock for net proceeds of $0.6 million. The warrants are exercisable at 125% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the date of closing.

On September 12, 2011, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Prestige, whereby we may sell certain of our accounts receivable to Prestige at a discount in order to improve our liquidity and cash flow. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, Prestige pays a percentage of the face amount of the receivables at the time of sale, and the remainder, net of the discount, is paid to us within two business days after Prestige receives payment on the receivables, which generally have 15 to 30 day terms. Since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 through the date of this report, this arrangement has been our primary source of liquidity for funding our Carrier Services business and a substantial portion of the Company’s SG&A obligations, and we expect that we will continue to utilize the agreement with Prestige to supplement our working capital needs until such time as we can consummate a traditional working capital line of credit.

In addition to purchasing our accounts receivable, Prestige has also from time to time provided us with secured working capital advances. During the first nine months of 2013 we received $212,500 of advances from Prestige, all of which was repaid during the period, along with advance fees of approximately $12,000. We may receive similar advances on similar terms from time to time during the remainder of 2013, although Prestige is under no obligation to make such advances. The Prestige agreement is currently due to expire on June 15, 2014 but automatically renews for additional nine month periods unless either party receives written notice of cancellation within 60 days prior to the scheduled expiration date. For as long as the agreement is in effect, Prestige will continue to have a first priority lien on the accounts receivable of our Carrier Services business segment and a subordinated security interest in the other assets of our Carrier Services business segment.

On October 29, 2012 we completed the acquisition of NBS. Contemporaneously with the completion of the acquisition transaction, we entered into, and consummated the transactions contemplated by, a Securities Purchase Agreement and Security Agreement (the “SPA”) with Praesidian Capital Opportunity Fund III, LP, Praesidian Capital Opportunity Fund III-A, LP and Plexus Fund II, LP (the “Lenders”). Under the SPA, we sold the Lenders (a) five-year senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6.5 million, bearing interest at the rate of 10.0% annually (the “Series A Notes”), and (b) five-year senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million bearing interest at the rate of 11.5% annually (the “Series B Notes” and, collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes were used to finance the majority of the cash portion of the purchase price of NBS.

Each of the Senior Notes provides for the payment of interest on a monthly basis commencing October 31, 2012. The Series A Notes provide for monthly principal payments in the amount of $52,083 each, beginning September 30, 2013, with the outstanding principal balance being due and payable on October 27, 2017. The outstanding principal balance of the Series B Notes becomes due and payable on October 27, 2017.

The obligations to the Lenders are secured by first priority security interests on all of the assets of NBS, as well as the capital stock of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, and by second priority security interests in the accounts receivable and other assets of our Carrier Services business segment. The SPA contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to, restrictions on paying indebtedness subordinate to the Senior Notes, incurring additional indebtedness, making capital expenditures, dividend payments and cash distributions by subsidiaries. In addition, at all times while the Senior Notes are outstanding, we are required to maintain a minimum cash bank balance of no less than $1 million in excess of any amounts outstanding under a permitted working capital line of credit and in excess of any and all cash balances held by NBS. The SPA also requires on-going compliance with various financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Failure to comply with any of the restrictive or financial covenants could result in an event of default and accelerated demand for repayment of the Senior Notes. We do not have the financial resources to repay the Senior Notes in the event of a default and acceleration of indebtedness.

At various times since May 15, 2013 we were not in compliance with the $1.0 million minimum cash balance requirement under the SPA. On August 14, 2013, the Company and the Lenders entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement to the SPA (the “First Waiver Agreement”) whereby the Lenders agreed to waive compliance with the $1.0 million minimum cash balance requirement through August 14, 2013, and amended the SPA to reduce the minimum cash balance requirement from $1.0 million to $0.5 million for the period between May 15, 2013 and August 31, 2013, after which time the minimum cash balance requirement reverted to $1.0 million. We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the SPA as amended by the First Waiver Agreement through August 30, 2013, however we have not been in compliance with this requirement since August 31, 2013. On November 12, 2013, we and the Lenders entered into a Waiver and Second Amendment Agreement to the SPA which amended the minimum cash balance requirement to provide that the Company shall maintain a minimum cash bank balance of no less than $1.0 million, in excess of any and all cash balances held by NBS, at all times following December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2013 we were in compliance with all of the other financial covenants under the Senior Notes.

In conjunction with the sale of the Senior Notes to the Lenders, Marvin Rosen entered into an Intercreditor and Subordination agreement with us and the Lenders (the “Subordination Agreement”), whereby Mr. Rosen agreed, among other things, that the amounts owed to him by the Company would be subordinate to the Notes and our other obligations to the Lenders. In connection with this agreement, on October 25, 2012 Mr. Rosen agreed to consolidate the principal amount all of his outstanding promissory notes aggregating to $3,922,364 into a new single note (the “New Rosen Note”). The New Rosen Note is unsecured, pays interest monthly at an annual rate of 7% per annum, and matures 60 days after the Senior Notes are paid in full. Although we did receive a short-term unsecured advance from Mr. Rosen of $100,000 during the first nine months of 2013, in view of the subordination of our obligations to Mr. Rosen to those of the Lenders, we do not expect to receive new loans or additional short term advances from Mr. Rosen to fund our future liquidity needs. Additionally, in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, Prestige and the Lenders entered into an agreement establishing priorities among them and reached certain agreements as to enforcing their respective rights against the Company.

While NBS has historically generated positive cash flow from operations and we believe that with the acquisition of NBS the Company will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations on a consolidated basis, the terms of the SPA prohibit any cash distributions from NBS to us.

 A summary of the Company’s cash flows for the periods indicated is as follows:
 
   
Nine Months Ended September 30,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
 Cash from continuing operations:
           
 Cash used in operating activities
  $ (2,218,237 )   $ (1,693,856 )
 Cash used in investing activities
    (276,424 )     (81,989 )
 Cash provided by financing activities
    3,163,961       5,501,683  
 Increase in cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations
    669,300       3,725,838  
 Cash from discontinued operations
    -       (1,490 )
 Net increase in cash and cash equivalents
    669,300       3,724,348  
 Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period
    543,214       3,047  
 Cash and cash equivalents, end of period
  $ 1,212,514     $ 3,727,395  
 
Cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.2 million during the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $1.7 million during the first nine months of 2012. The following table illustrates the primary components of our cash flows from operations:

   
2013
   
2012
 
Net income (loss)
  $ (2,102,611 )   $ (3,655,467 )
Non-cash expenses, gains and losses
    1,751,320       701,750  
Accounts receivable
    (1,032,101 )     354,586  
Inventory
    (94,690 )     -  
Accounts payable and accrued expenses
    (531,164 )     1,075,597  
Other
    (208,991 )     (170,322 )
Cash used in operating activities
  $ (2,218,237 )   $ (1,693,856 )
 
Cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $0.1 million in the first six months of 2012. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2013 were $0.8 million, and we delivered a cash deposit in the amount of $0.2 million in connection with the Broadvox Transaction. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease in restricted cash held in reserve under the terms of the SPA in the amount of $0.8 million. We expect our cash capital expenditures to be approximately $300,000 for the remainder of 2013, primarily for capital expenditures at NBS and additional infrastructure development for the Carrier Services business segment.
 

FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Cash provided by financing activities was $3.2 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $5.5 million in the first nine months of 2012. The decrease reflects higher proceeds received from private placement activities in 2012 and the repayment of $0.4 million on the Sellers Notes in 2013.

Uses of Liquidity
 
Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs arise primarily from working capital requirements to support the growth and day-to-day operations of our business, principal and interest payments related to our financing obligations, capital expenditures and any additional funds that may be required for business expansion opportunities.

Debt Service Requirements
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made debt service payments on the Senior Notes of $1.4 million and repaid approximately $0.6 million of indebtedness held by related and unrelated parties. For the remainder of 2013, we expect to make principal and interest payments on our Senior Notes totaling approximately $0.6 million, payments under the Seller Notes of approximately $0.1 million and payments under equipment financing obligations of $0.1 million.

At September 30, 2013, we had obligations to Marvin Rosen, including the New Rosen Note, aggregating $3.6 million which are payable 60 days after the Senior Notes are repaid in full. Effective as of October 29, 2012, as permitted by the Subordination Agreement, Mr. Rosen is entitled to monthly interest payments on these obligations at a rate of 7% per annum. As of the date of this report we have not made any interest payments to Mr. Rosen. Mr. Rosen has agreed that any due but unpaid interest does not constitute an event of default under the New Rosen Note, and that all interest currently due under the New Rosen Note, as well as future interest that will accrue under the note, will be payable on ten days’ prior written notice.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We have identified the policies and significant estimation processes discussed below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our results of operations. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is dictated by specific accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. In other cases, management is required to exercise judgment in the application of accounting principles with respect to particular transactions. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenue is primarily derived from usage fees charged to other telecommunications carriers and to other businesses that terminate voice traffic over our network, and from the monthly recurring fees charged to customers that purchase our business products and services.
 

FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Variable revenue is earned based on the length (measured in minutes of duration) of a call. It is recognized upon completion of the call, and is adjusted to reflect customer billing adjustments. Revenue for each customer is calculated from information received through our network switches. Customized software has been designed to track the information from the switch and analyze the call detail records against stored detailed information about revenue rates. This software provides us with the ability to complete a timely and accurate analysis of revenue earned in a period. We believe that the nature of this process is such that recorded revenues are unlikely to be revised in the future.

Revenue earned from monthly services provided to our business services customers are fixed and recurring in nature, and are contracted for over a specified period of time. Revenue recognition commences after the provisioning, testing and acceptance of the service by the customer. The recurring customer charges continue until the expiration of the contract, or until cancellation of the service by the customer. To the extent that payments received from a customer are related to a future period, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue until the service is provided or the usage occurs.

Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of costs incurred from other domestic and international communications carriers to originate, transport, and terminate voice calls for the Company’s carrier and business customers. The majority of the Company’s cost of revenues is thus variable, based upon the number of minutes actually used by the Company’s customers and the destinations they are calling. Call activity is tracked and analyzed with customized software that analyzes the traffic flowing through the Company’s network switch. During each period, the call activity is analyzed and an accrual is recorded for the revenues associated with minutes not yet invoiced. This cost accrual is calculated using minutes from the system and the variable cost of revenue based upon predetermined contractual rates.

Fixed expenses reflect the costs associated with connectivity between the Company’s network infrastructure, including its New York switching facility, and certain large carrier customers and vendors. In addition, fixed expenses include the monthly recurring charges associated with certain platform services purchased from other service providers, the monthly recurring costs associated with private line services for business customers and the cost of broadband Internet access used to provide service to both carrier and business customers.

Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts based on our history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. Specific customer accounts are written off as uncollectible if the probability of a future loss has been established, collection efforts have been exhausted and payment is not expected to be received.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
We periodically review long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, we evaluate recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the projected undiscounted cash flows, we are required to estimate the fair value of the asset and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. We did not record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 

FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred income tax assets when we determine that it is more like than not that we will fail to generate sufficient taxable income to be able to utilize the deferred tax assets.

Property and Equipment
 
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software, we capitalize a portion of our payroll and related costs for the development of software for internal use and amortize these costs over three years. During the nine months ended September 30 2013, we capitalized costs pertaining to the development of internally used software in the approximate amount of $0.6 million.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no new accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Inflation
 
We do not believe inflation has a significant effect on the Company’s operations at this time.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Under SEC regulations, we are required to disclose the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. An off-balance sheet arrangement means a transaction, agreement or contractual arrangement to which any entity that is not consolidated with us is a party, under which we have:
 
 
FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
 
Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts
 
 
Any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets
 
 
Any obligation under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, except that it is both indexed to the Company’s stock and classified in stockholder’s equity in the Company’s statement of financial position
 
 
Any obligation arising out of a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us
 
As of September 30, 2013, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
Certain statements and the discussion contained herein regarding the Company’s business and operations may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1996. Such statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. The reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements are speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. This disclosure highlights some of the important risks regarding the Company’s business. The primary risk of the Company is its ability to attract new and continued capital to execute its comprehensive business strategy. There may be additional risks associated with the integration of businesses following an acquisition, the Company’s ability to comply with its senior debt agreements, concentration of revenue from one source, competitors with broader product lines and greater resources, emergence into new markets, the termination of any of the Company’s significant contracts or partnerships, the Company’s ability to maintain working capital requirements to fund future operations or the Company’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified management, technical and sales personnel, and the other factors identified by us from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. However, the risks included should not be assumed to be the only things that could affect future performance. We may, among other things, also be subject to service disruptions, delays in collections, or facilities closures caused by potential or actual acts of terrorism, natural disasters or government security concerns.

All forward-looking statements included in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of the date thereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Disclosure under this section is not required for a smaller reporting company.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their cost. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all of our control issues and all instances of fraud, if any. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On or about September 4, 2013, a landlord over premises leased by the Company commenced a lawsuit in the New York City Civil Court, County of New York (Index No. 79154/13), in which the landlord is seeking to recover specified rent and related charges of approximately $88,000 due under a lease agreement between the landlord and the Company, plus interest and attorneys’ fees, and to evict the Company from the premises. The Company intends to contest and dispute the claims set forth in the landlord’s petition. However, due to the uncertainties of litigation and other unknown factors, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to reach a favorable resolution to this proceeding.

Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Except for the updated risk factor below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

At various times since May 15, 2013 we were out of compliance with an affirmative covenant contained in our senior debt agreements, which constitutes an event of default.
 
Our acquisition of NBS was financed primarily through the issuance of senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $16.5 million. The purchase agreement related to the senior notes (the “SPA”) contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to, restrictions on paying indebtedness subordinate to the senior notes, incurring additional indebtedness, making capital expenditures, dividend payments and cash distributions by subsidiaries. In addition, at all times while the senior notes are outstanding, we are required to maintain a minimum cash bank balance of $1.0 million, in excess of any amounts outstanding under a permitted working capital line of credit as well as any cash held at NBS. We are also required to comply with various financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Failure to comply with any of the restrictive or financial covenants could result in an event of default and accelerated demand for repayment of the senior notes. We do not have the financial resources to repay the senior notes if repayment of the senior notes were to be accelerated. At various times since May 15, 2013, we were not in compliance with the $1.0 million minimum cash balance requirement. On August 14, 2013, the Company and the Lenders entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement to the SPA whereby the Lenders agreed to waive compliance with the $1.0 million minimum cash balance requirement through August 14, 2013, and amended the SPA to reduce the minimum cash balance requirement from $1.0 million to $0.5 million for the period between May 15, 2013 and August 31, 2013, after which time the minimum cash balance requirement reverted to $1.0 million. We have not been in compliance with this requirement since August 31, 2013. On November 12, 2013, we entered into a Waiver and Second Amendment Agreement to the SPA to provide that the Company shall maintain a minimum cash bank balance of no less than $1.0 million, in excess of any and all cash balances held by NBS, at all times following December 31, 2013.

Consummation of the proposed Broadvox Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of numerous conditions precedent and may not be consummated.
 
Consummation of acquisition of the Broadvox Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of numerous conditions precedent, including but not limited to, completion of an audit of the financial books and records of the business to be acquired, our receipt of sufficient funding to pay the cash portion of the purchase price and provide for reasonable post-acquisition working capital requirements, negotiation and execution of mutually acceptable post-closing matters, such as (a) certain transition services to be provided to the Company by the sellers, (b) the shared use of certain equipment and systems of the sellers on a transition basis and (c) the Company’s use of certain intellectual property of the sellers on a transition basis, and other customary conditions of closing. There is no assurance that the conditions precedent to closing will be satisfied or waived, or that the proposed Broadvox Transaction will be consummated.

We may be unable to secure the funding necessary to consummate the Broadvox Transaction.
 
Among the conditions precedent to consummation of our completion of the Broadvox Transaction is our ability to secure the necessary funding. In order to satisfy conditions precedent to our receipt of debt financing to fund the proposed Broadvox Transaction, we will need to raise gross proceeds of at least $6,500,000 from the sale of our equity securities. There is no assurance that we will meet the minimum equity proceeds requirement, or that we can obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms.
 
Consummation of the Broadvox Transaction does not provide assurance that the operations of such assets will be accretive to our earnings or otherwise improve our results of operations.
 
Acquisitions, such as the proposed Broadvox Transaction, involve the integration of previously separate businesses into a common enterprise in which it is envisioned that synergistic operations and economies of scale will create accretive earnings and improved results of operations. However, realization of these envisioned results are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties including but not limited to:

  
Diversion of management time and attention from daily operations;
  
Difficulties integrating the acquired business, technologies and personnel into our business;
  
Potential loss of key employees, key contractual relationships or key customers of the acquired business; and
  
Assumption of the liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities of the acquired business

Even if the Broadvox Transaction is consummated, there is no assurance that the acquisition will be accretive to our earnings or otherwise improve our results of operations.
 
In October of 2013, the Company entered into subscription agreements with 13 accredited investors, under which the Company issued an aggregate of 4,296,945 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 2,148,473 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $0.6 million. The warrants are exercisable at 125% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the date of closing.

In connection with the foregoing transactions, the Company had reasonable grounds to believe that each investor was an “accredited” investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, each investor represented that it was acquiring the securities for its own account for investment purposes only, no general solicitation or advertising was utilized in connection with the transactions, the certificates evidencing the securities bear a legend restricting their transferability except as permitted by applicable securities laws and the Company filed a corresponding Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of Section 4(2) of that Act and/or Regulations D thereunder. The securities issued to the accredited investors were sold through Noble Financial Capital Markets, a licensed broker-dealer, and commissions and fees of approximately $22,000 were paid to the placement agent and other licensed broker-dealers in connection with these transactions. In addition, the placement agent and other licensed broker-dealers earned the right to receive warrants to purchase approximately 65,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for their services. The net proceeds of these transactions were used primarily for working capital purposes.

In addition, during the quarter covered by this report, the Company issued 269,183 shares of common stock valued at approximately $25,000 to a third party as partial payment for services rendered.
